Two years passed and Orochimaru was nowhere to be found. Minato knew Jiraiya had an idea of where he was, but he decided that as long as Orochimaru came nowhere near his family or the village again, he could do whatever he wanted. Right now, he had bigger things to worry about. Like the fact that his daughter was going into the Academy. He was actually kinda happy with the fact that the Academy started in November. This meant, when the time came, Gaara and Naruto would join together. But right now, he was smiling as his wife and daughter argued about how his daughter's hair should be. Temari wanted four ponytails while Kushina wanted her to have something much more pretty, such as pigtails or even a simple ponytail. Minato sighed. Suddenly, Kankurou, and the two year olds, Naruto and Gaara, came running out of a room laughing. Minato blinked…wasn't that Kakashi's room? Oh boy… "Little Devils!" 16-year-old Kakashi yelled running out.

Minato had to cover his mouth to keep from laughing. They had dyed Kakashi's silver hair blue. Naruto and Gaara instantly clung and hid behind Minato, but were giggling. Six-year-old Kankurou was a little smarter. He went straight to Kushina. Temari burst out laughing, "So much for ANBU training," she yelled.

Kakashi glared at her, "I really gotta find my own place," he stated.

Minato just smirked. Kakashi had been saying that since Naruto started to walk, but had yet to leave. Kushina giggled. Minato looked at his watch, "Alright, we better get going," he said, "We don't want Temari to be late."

"But her hair-"

"Just leave it down," Minato stated, "We have to get going."

Personally, Minato loved his daughter's hair down. The two girls sighed and stood up. Minato took his youngest sons hands and the family walked out.


Minato gave his speech to those entering the Academy, "And now your start to becoming ninja begins," he said, "Now it's time for you to meet your Academy senseis. These will be your second parents while you're here and I hope you respect them as you do your own parents. So, with this speech, I hope you enjoy your first day!"

With that, the Academy teachers went to their students. Minato went down to the rest of his family, "Where are Naruto and Gaara?" he asked.

Kushina smiled and gestured her head. Minato looked and smiled. Naruto and Gaara were playing with a boy their age, the second son of the Uchiha head, "Aren't they adorable?" Kushina asked.

Minato nodded, "But we should be going," he said, "Naruto! Gaara! Time to get going!"

"No…" Naruto whined, "Tou-chan!"

Uchiha Mikoto walked up, "Hokage-sama," she said, "Sasuke! We need to go! Your father wants us home."

"Okaa-san…" Sasuke gave him mother puppy dog eyes.

Kushina giggled, "They're so adorable," she said, "Come on kids. Your father has work to do. You can play with Sasuke-kun some other time."

Naruto and Gaara whined, but walked over. Kushina picked up Naruto and Minato picked up Gaara. Sasuke walked over to his mother and she took his hand. Mikoto bowed to them before leaving, "Kankurou! Kakashi!" Minato called, "Come on."

The Namikaze family-with one Hatake-left leaving one to enjoy her first day of school. Temari walked into the classroom with her class and teacher. Her teacher's name was Suzume-sensei. Suzume took her spot in the front of the room, "Alright," she said, "We're going to start with assign seating. This will be your seat until you graduate or are moved to another class, is that all understood?"

"Hai, sensei," the kids chorused.

"Then when I call your name from the roll sheet, please step forward with your partner that will be beside you from this moment on," Suzume began calling names.

Temari looked around, nervous. She can't remember much on Suna, but she remembered one thing very clearly. Children were afraid of her because her father was Kazekage. They were afraid of getting on her bad side. Temari shifted slightly, but listened for her name to be called, "Inuzuka Hana and Namikaze Temari!" Suzume stated.

Temari stepped forward and looked at the girl, Inuzuka Hana, beside her. Hana had long brown hair which she wore in a ponytail with two locks of hair framing her face over her large, black eyes and had the traditional fang-like tattoos of the Inuzuka clan on both of her cheeks. She wore a simple white, long-sleeved shirt and black pants with matching black sandals, "You two may sit at the middle right table."

Temari and Hana did as told. Hana smiled at Temari, "Hi, I'm Hana," she said.

Temari smiled softly, "Temari," she said.

"You're Hokage-sama's daughter, right?" Hana asked.

Temari became nervous, "Y-yes," she said.

Hana smiled, "He seems nice," she said, "You're really lucky."

Temari smiled, "Tou-chan is really nice," she said, "He took me and my brothers in when he didn't need to."

"You're adopted?" Hana asked, "But you look kinda like him."

"Not really," Temari said, "You should see my little brother Naruto. He's Tou-chan and Kaa-chan's real son. He looks just like Tou-chan."

Hana smiled, "I have a little brother too," she said, "Kiba. He cried a lot at night, but now he actually sleeps."

Temari giggled, "I have three little brothers," she said, "Kankurou; who's a year younger than me, Gaara; who's only ten months older than Naruto, and then Naruto."

"Wow," Hana said, "Not one sister?"

Temari shook her head, "I wanted Naruto to be a girl so I could have a sister, but I guess I'm meant to have brothers," she said.

Hana giggled, "Alright class!" the two turned to Suzume, "Today we're going to talk about the history of Konoha and then we're going to see where you are in your ninja skills."

Suzume started her class, but Temari was bored. Minato and Kushina had already told her and Kankurou about the history of Konoha because he wanted them to feel more connected to Konoha, their true home. Suzume didn't finish her lesson until it was time for lunch. Hana pulled out a bento, "Your mom make that?" Temari asked, pulling out her own lunch.

Hana smiled and opened it, "Yes," she said, "Did yours?"

Temari giggled, "Nah," she said, "Tou-chan did. Kaa-chan doesn't really like to cook unless Tou-chan is busy with work."

Hana giggled and the two began eating, but then started talking about their little brothers, "Temari-san!" Temari turned to Suzume standing in the doorway, "Can you come here for a moment?"

Temari blinked, but got out of her seat and walked over. Temari blinked when she walked into the hall, "Tou-chan?" she asked, "What's wrong?"

"Are you feeling okay?" Minato asked bending down to her.

"Yeah," Temari said, "Why wouldn't I be?"

Minato looked Temari over, "Tou-chan?" she asked confused.

Minato hummed softly and Temari was just looking at him with confusion, "Are you sure you're feeling okay?" Minato asked, "Anything feel off at all? Even a little thing."

Temari looked at her hands, "No, I'm fine," she said, "What's going on, Tou-chan?"

Minato sighed, "Something's wrong with Kankurou," Temari's heart stopped, "And the doctors think it has to do with your Orochimaru incident two years ago. We're just trying to figure out what's wrong and why, if this is the cause, it's taken two years for something to happen."

"Is Kankurou okay?" Temari asked worriedly.

"Right now he just has a fever," Minato said, "We don't know what's wrong with him."

"I want to see him," Temari said.

"No," Minato said, "I need you to stay here. You'll just worry everyone if you leave and I don't want you to have difficulty making friends just because you're my daughter," Temari looked at Minato, "You can come to the hospital after school, okay? If something happens, I promise I'll come get you, alright?" Temari nodded sadly, "And if you start to feel off, tell Suzume-sensei, okay? Even if it's just a little thing."

"Hai, Tou-chan," Temari said.

Minato hugged her quickly before standing up, "Be good," he said.

Temari nodded and walked back into the classroom with Suzume. Temari sat beside Hana again. Hana noticed Temari's down expression, "What's wrong?" she asked.

"Something's wrong with Kankurou," Temari said.

Hana went wide eyed, "Then why aren't you with your family?" she asked.

"Because everyone knows I'm the daughter of Tou-chan," Temari stated, "I can't just leave. It'll cause people to worry or would make people think I can get out of class just because of who my father is."

Hana was shocked, but understood, "Oh," she said.

"But Tou-chan said if something happens he'll come get me," Temari stated, "I'm going to see him once school is finished."

Hana wetted her lips, "Do you mind if I come?" she asked.

Temari looked at Hana confused, "If something happened to Kiba, I would want someone to be there for me besides my mom," she said.

Temari smiled, "I think I'd like that," she said, "Thanks."

Hana nodded and the two finished their lunches.
