Good day, readers. I'm here to state my reasons as to why I am bashing mostly Minato, Jiraiya, Kakashi and Tsunade is because of how Naruto was raised in canon.

Minato is an idiot I have most especially not been impressed with. Which kind of idiot expects an entire village of people who have more or less lost a relation to treat his son as a hero? He should expect that the villagers to find an outlet to their pain. Hence, an orphan jinchuriki with a surname that people tend to ignored or forget was the same as the first Hokage's wife and their allies.

Jiraiya, his dear godfather, decided that his spy network and peeping on women were more important than for him to at least take care of his godson for a few years at least. He then shows up in his life during the chunin exams and proceed to give him a half-assed training, making to rely on the Kyuubi for power instead of his own non-existent skills. A three year training trip occurred with him teaching Naruto only taijutsu, different variations of Rasengan and learning badly to use a bijuu's chakra. No elemental training, other techniques like fuinjutsu, etc.

Kakashi is a sad excuse for a ninja. To find out that he knew Naruto's father and never showed that he at least cared for him. The first time in meeting his sensei's son face to face and he proceeds on mocking and ridiculing him and then when the chunin exams came, he proceeded to dump him with Ebisu to train Obito's last 'loyal' relative.

Tsunade abandoned her village because she was depressed and angry about the loss of her fiancé and her brother. She literally faulted the village for Nawaki and Dan's death during wartime, didn't even try to take her anger on the other villages considering Konoha were never the first to intentionally instigate any of their wars.

As for Kushina, she didn't protest when Minato said his last words to Hiruzen and Kurenai was just someone I just need to place as Mina's godmother and bash a little. I don't really hate her or any of them at all. They are just humans (kind of) in the end.

One more thing, the reason that Gamamaru didn't tell the Jiraiya the truth that Naruto was the first child of prophecy and was changed to Mina was because he really didn't want to give them an excuse for their foul behavior and proving that they were partially right in their assumptions.

Sorry for my short rant. Hope you enjoy the story.

I don't own Bleach or Naruto.

CHAPTER EIGHT

! Flashback !

"Naruto, what did your father do?" asked Kakashi. Naruto finally spoke in hushed tones, "I had followed him when he dragged Mina to his office because of one of my accusations." 'OH SHIT!' Minato thought as he rapidly paled at that statement, knowing he was going to die today. "Tou-san was very furious that he didn't notice me just behind the partially open door. I was curious about why he normally drags her first to his office then to her room unlike mom who normally grounds her without food for a week (cue flinches). So I watched what happened and saw tou-san had …" Naruto hesitated.

Jiraiya had a horrified look on his face, already suspecting what had happened when Naruto gulped as he spoke the last words, "…he had beaten Mina until she was unconscious"

Silence presented itself and no one did anything for a while as all except for Yondaime stared at Naruto. Then a huge killing intent ripped off the three women in the room, all focused on the Hokage in the room as they roared in absolute fury, "MINATO!" From there, chaos ensured.

! Continued !

Minato knew then that what he did was wrong in every way imaginable. Watching the love his parents had for each other and to him made him vow to himself that he too would make sure he had a family with the same principles that his parents taught him. Then he became a ninja, saw that the world wasn't black and white and had its side of gray that dimmed his vows. Falling in love with Kushina made him hold on to that belief of his that there was still good in people. Getting that first prophecy from Jiraiya reinforced it for him.

The second prophecy had almost shattered it when he found out that one of his children would be the cause of the extinction of the world. He promised to stop it no matter he had to do. The birth of his son and daughter made him so happy and sad at the same time. The sealing of the kyuubi into his son made him a little distraught about the entire situation.

His first mistake was giving his daughter the cold shoulder for the first three years of her life in order to make it easier for himself when it was time to stop the madness she would create. He could still remember the time that Kushina told him to go fuck himself with the toad's prophecy when he tried to make Kushina do the same but he did succeed in making her cautious. Jiraiya did the same as him while Tsunade cared more for her godson and Kakashi was mostly busy with ANBU but normally paid the most attention to Naruto than to his goddaughter. Kurenai remained normally neutral but sometimes spiteful to her goddaughter. He sometimes thought that her godparents subconsciously could sense the fact that she was going to be different and were distancing themselves from her all on their own.

His second mistake was the fact that he laid a hand on his daughter, a child. A responsible father should have asked her why she did it, corrected her with some scolding and a mild punishment in order for her to learn from his mistakes, but the accident layered an image of a former child prodigy similar to his daughter that made him do the unthinkable.

His third mistake was to justify his actions and continue with the beatings every time Naruto said that she caused a certain prank or stole something from them or other people. Even when other people complained about the pranks or items stolen from them, he assures them that the issue will be dealt with, pay them for damages done and automatically puts his frustrations out on Mina. It wasn't until when she was five that the pranks stopped all of a sudden and he got paranoid that she was planning something much more dangerous than the bodily-harming pranks.

His fourth mistake was to unofficially cast her out. He had managed to convince his wife that it was finally time to throw her out of the house and ban her from orphanages, but it was shut down by Tsunade who pointed out the fact that it would spread rumors of his harsh treatment to an 'innocent' child. If word were to get out to the council or worse the fire daimyo, he would have to explain himself. When he had not seen her for some days, he had quickly keyed her out and hoped that whatever orphanage she managed to get to didn't suffer from her presence. Six months after that, he got no report on her in an orphanage.

It was because of that lack of information, did he realize that maybe their treatment of her would lead to her being a psychopath hell bent on destroying the world along with herself. Maybe she didn't intentionally push her brother against those boxes, or why she played those pranks was to relieve her frustrations out on someone else and stole from other people to provide the needs they intentionally didn't give her.

Infinite tons of maybes and they all tumbled down when Jiraiya spoke about the proof of her innocence. Barely any words could penetrate his ears after those words. He came to when his wife started to have a panic attack and tried his best to comfort her but it all went downhill when Naruto confessed his fears was when he literally felt pain as he now laid on the living room ground that he had gone through, courtesy of three women's fist and boiling fury. He knew that it would have been worse if Tsunade hadn't held back a lot of her strength. She obviously did it so as not to kill him before getting answers.

Just as he thought that through his jumbled and concussed mind, the three women shadowed him, glaring at him from above waiting on his excuse for what he did to Mina. Either way, he was still going to get a beat down.

"Explain yourself, Minato. Why did you beat her up and kept quiet about it? There is no doubt in my mind that you knew what you did was wrong so tell me why?" cried a frustrated yet angry red head as she knelt down in tears. That caught her loyal fangirl's attention kneeling to comfort her. Tsunade just stared in anger at Minato who got up yet looking away from them in shame.

Jiraiya stepped towards his student as he spoke his own, "I am disappointed in you, Minato. I know what we did to that girl was cruel and unfair but did you ever consider that what you did could push her into becoming a psychopath. I have no faith in gaining for her forgiveness."

"Sensei, how could you betray everything we stood for? Obito would be disappointed with this vile act that you have done", Kakashi spoke in disgust. Tsunade didn't have to say anything for her posture said it all while Kurenai really was just taking advantage of the act to comfort her idol.

Minato was fed up with their accusations and disappointed stares. He just had to say his mind as he stood up in pain and raised his head to face them, "I know what I did was wrong. I lived with that guilt every day of my life. I regretted it months after we abandoned her but with the so called prophecy that Jiraiya kept spewing about and the misunderstood incident, I thought that what I did was for the good of the Elemental Nation." The only one confused about the prophecy was Naruto while Kurenai and Kakashi flinched at the prophecy they believed when Minato had told them after Naruto's incident.

"Just don't forget I was not the only one involved here", as he rounded on Jiraiya with a glare. "I had principles until you came along and told me of the change in the prophecy. You encouraged me to neglect and discipline Mina and cast her out and I went along with it. I have no excuse nor do I blame you for the method in which I chose to use. But don't try to pin this all on me. I didn't ask you to treat her like dirt." He turned to Tsunade who flinched, "I didn't ask you not to treat her with disdain." He turned to his wife, "My only regret is to encourage Kushina's behaviour to her own daughter and poisoning Naruto's mind against Mina so don't you try laying the blame on me."

He turned to Kakashi who already looked down in shame, "I told you of the prophecy and Naruto's incident and let you come to your own theory. It seemed like you really needed an excuse to get away from your own godchild. I didn't ask you to completely ignore your own goddaughter from the moment she was born, Kakashi." Kurenai paled at what he said next, "And I didn't ask you to hate her from the moment she was in your arms when Kushina assigned you to be her goddaughter. Oh don't look at me like that. I have always seen the hatred in your eyes that you had for Mina since she is Kushina's biological daughter and not you."

Kushina pushed away from Kurenai staring in horror at what she just discovered. "We are all at fault here so we have to figure out what to do to rectify it." All were silent as they contemplated on what he said. Naruto was still a bit confused about the prophecy bit, but quickly came to a conclusion that it was the main cause of the family's separation.

Jiraiya, after much contemplation and also wanting to leave the house to his own apartment, finally spoke, "The reason Gamamaru-sama summoned me was to tell me that the prophecy had changed." All except Naruto turned to glare at him about 'another' prophecy but he quickly spoke up, "Don't look at me like that. I want to leave and think about what has happened here today. It is best to just say it now and let us ponder it on our own."

They relaxed a bit, but were now filled with trepidation about this next prophecy, "It states that 'The child of prophecy shall build herself from scratch without the support of blood. As a chosen by the blessings of the gods, she and her companions shall be the one to decide the fate of the world.' With that last bit, Jiraiya left to go and get drunk, along with Tsunade.

Naruto wanted to be alone and ran to his room. Kakashi dragged Kurenai away from the home in order to prevent her from spilling out some pathetic excuse for her behaviour and also stop her from an untimely death via a mad mother. Kushina ran to her former daughter's room to try and find any memento of her daughter's, only to remember that she threw them away and used the room as a storage room upon opening it. She was left broken as she fainted in horror at how low she fell."

Minato had followed her to see if she was okay. Only to see her sprawled on the floor in front of the storage room. He quickly closed the door and took his wife in his arms leading her to their bedroom. Placing her on the bed and covering her, he grabbed his pillow and a blanket to spare his wife the need of kicking him out and went to the living room to lay his head. He knew that sleep would not come at all for him.

Next morning, Hokage's office

Jounin Commander, Nara Shikaku and ANBU Captain, Dolphin wondered why they were at the Hokage's office yet the man seem not to be here. Just as they were about to make small talk to pass the time, the hokage hiranshined into his office looking completely tired and disheveled. They were highly concerned about it and the lazy one in the room had to speak up, "Minato, are you alright?"

Minato seemed to ponder on the question at hand and decided on confiding in them on the matter at hand. "No Shikaku. I am not okay and the reasons why can only be disclosed in complete privacy. Not one word told to you should be spoken to anyone besides us." Quickly going through some hand-seals to activate some complex privacy jutsu, he proceeded to tell them everything that was going on in the Namikaze's home.

They were shock and a little disgusted at what happened but they weren't going to start judging and condemning him. They have heard and seen much worse, plus the fact that he looked and spoke sincerely about his regrets helped much. What they did not know was why he was telling them specifically. He obviously needed them for some reason. Shikaku had an idea but held his tongue.

Minato sighed in relief from getting some of his burden from his shoulders by talking about it. He proceeded to tell them why he called them specifically, "Shikaku, I will not be able to make it to the chunin exams coming up and have sent a missive to A-dono about my reasons. I need you to go in my stead." Shikaku nodded in understanding, plus he really wanted to go to observe the new prodigy everyone was talking about, Mugetsu Mina. That name made him inwardly narrow his eyes at the coincidental first name.

Minato turned to Dolphin, "Dolphin, please remove your mask." Said Dolphin, quickly removed his mask only to reveal Umino Iruka. "You have been in ANBU for five years and a captain for two. The fact that you are the youngest to ever attain your title is astounding." It left the 20 year old to blush at the praise. "Your sensory ability and your amazing ability to gather information is what I need from you at this point in time. I need your help in tracking down my daughter. You have my full authorization to go all out in finding her."

Iruka nodded in acceptance, while inwardly he was jubilating at his chance to uproot some weeds that has being growing around the tree of Konoha. Maybe some unwanted roots too. "Also, Iruka-san, it was under the recommendation of Morino Ibiki who was your sensei that you became an ANBU but after this is over, I need you to become a normal jounin instructor for Konoha Academy, as added protection when my son and possibly my daughter enter the academy." "Hai, Hokage-sama." He was excited to teach younger minds after the two years of training his ANBU team to their absolute best.

The privacy jutsu was dispersed and both were dismissed leaving the Hokage to go about his daily routine to keep his mind off the matter of his daughter.

END!

Iruka is an ANBU instead of a normal chunin because I really didn't want him to be so ordinary. I liked his brother relationship with Naruto and I think he wasn't fair to have such a low rank such as chunin. So that is it for this chapter and hope you enjoy it.
