(The next day council room)

The council was in uproar when they learnt that naruto was back in the village as kumo ninja. They were also mad about the fact that the kumo contingent were given one of the largest training grounds in the village and that the training couldnt be spied upon for reasons un known.

"I cant believe why you arent trying to make him stay here minato he is your son after all." Hisashi the hyuga clan head said.

"I have tried he refuses to talk to me and I cant force un less i want a full on war with kumo. They are just as strong as us and I for one dont want the kids to fight again." Minato said.

"I dont see why not after all they are all just tools for the village to use." Koharu stated before she was hit by a very strong and potent wave of Killing intent. The intent released by minato made the whole room shake. Everyone in the room was once again reminded of why Minato was given the rank of flee on site.

"Let me remind you of the belief that this village was built on councillor. It was made to use the will of fire to defend the village from harm and to make sure that our young children don't have to fight. Dishonour that belief again and I will kill you where you stand. Am I clea counciller?" Asked Minato

"Hai hokage sama." Koharu said as she sweated profusely under the immense pressure being exerted by Minato.

Danzo then spoke "That still doesnt explain why we don't know of the training that the team is doing in that training ground."

"They may have a seals master with them who set up privacy seals. Its not illegal or wrong every village is entitled to its secrets." Minato said with a shrugg.

"You are becoming senile Minato, I think you are unfit to run the village." Danzo said with a little seeth.

"Hmm thats interesting danzo, where were you when Iwa launched that invasion hmm or better where were you when kyubi attacked? You talk as if you are the one who defended the village but in truth you just hid back in your bunker like the coward you are. You arent fit to be a leader so back off." Minato condescendingly replied.

Danzo seethed as the clan heads and hiruzen snickered at the old war hawk. The meeting then went of without a hitch after which everyone left. As they did only minato and hisashi were left. Not noticing his best friend and team mates presence minato gave a very tired sigh and slumped on his seat.

"You look like shit you know?" Asked Hisashi.

"Thats because I feel like shit. My life has been downhill of late and I cant see whats happening in my personal life. My son hates me and is completely indifferent. Heck he doesn't even acknowledge us as family." Minato sadly said.

"I know how you feel Minato if its any conciliation I will be more than willing to talk to him for you. I was rather fond of the boy before he left." Hisashi said.

"You were? I thought you hated pranking?" Minato asked. To his immense surprise hisashi broke out into a fit of laughter.

Minato then brought his hands together and Jokingly said " The cold and stoic Hisashi hyuga is laughing it must be the end of the world."

Hisashi didnt mind at all since Minato was a brother to him. "Oh come now minato you insult me. Who do you think helped him with all the pranks on the hyuga estate?"

"Wait you were in on them??? Those pranks cost me weeks of paper work." Minato shouted.

"Yes I know. The kid came to me asking on how to get to you for ignoring his 5th birthday. On my side the council was being a headache. So I told him to prank the hyuga elders. In fact I left the gate open for him to operate. In the end the elders were put in their place, I got a good laugh out of it and he got back at you through paper work." Hisashi said.

"You know I hate you right?" Minato grumbled.

"Nah we both know where an oblivious old fool would be without me and hizashi. Anyways I'll try and talk with naruto soon you should come by for a game of poker." Hisashi said as he walked out the door.

Minato could only dumbly nod as he saw his best friend leave the room. With that he flashed back to his home. At his home he found his wife cooking while his daughter was practicing with her kunai back in the ground. He tiredly plopped down on the sofa.

"Rough day honey?" Asked kushina.

"Define rough." He tiredly replied.

Kushina sadly looked at Minato she knew he completely blamed himself for narutos departure and looking at their sons current indifference she knew it was eating him up immensely on the inside.

"There there honey He will eventually come around. All we need to do is to wait for him just like he waited for us." Kushina soothingly said as she rubbed his shoulders.

"I know but that doesnt make it hurt less. I have wronged my family. I made him feel like an orphan even though I know how horrible that feeling is. I want to make it up to him but he is so far of that I cant even see him anymore." Minato sadly replied.

Kushina didnt reply and opted her husbands shoulders helping him to relax. Yui sighed sadly as she heard all that. She missed playing with her brother. Even when they were young he used to cheer her up when she had a bad training session or if someone made fun of her red hair. She just wanted her brother back. Maybe she would ask his girlfriend for help. For now she needed the hot springs.

(Elsewhere training ground 43)

"Alright everyone that is enough for today. Since the exam is tomorrow I want all of you to go around and relax so that you are in prime form tomorrow. Also Naruto the raikage said you cant use your black lightening." Darui stated as he addressed the genin in front of him.

"Alright sensei." The genin chorused as they all except naruto left. Looking at naruto darui said "Whats wrong naruto?"

Naruto who had his hands crossed flared his chakra and entered his black lightening form and said "I am not tired sensei lets spar." Naruto finished as he charged himself at the jonins hence beginning the spar.

The remaining guys decided to go back to their hotel room to rest up. While the girls decided to go and relax at the local hotsprings. And made their way there. Inside thethe hotsprings Samui, Yugito, Haku and Mai found sayuri and yui already in there.

The quietly entered and sat down in the water giving sighs of relaxation. "That hits the spot." Haku moaned blissfully.

"I agree." Yugito moaned out.

"Nothing better than a soak after sparing with Naruto kun." Mai moaned

"Its cool." Samui said stoically once again showing of her control over her emotions.

Sayuri looked at them before scooting over and introducing herself. "Hi my name is sayuri uchiha whats yours." She said a little shyly. After her first run in with naruto in the wave she had been rethinking her life and had become rather humble and quite.

"Ni yugito. These are Samui, Haku and mai." Yugito said with a grin.

Everyone enthusiastically started talking about random stuff. That was when Yui said "Ano can you tell me more about naruto?"

"Why do you want to know namikaze?" Yugito asked.

"I-i-i.." yui started

"You what?" Growled haku.

"J-j-ust.." Yui tried to say.

"Just what take him and ignore him again?" Mai sternly interjected.

"I JUST WANT MY BROTHER DAMMIT. He was everything to me when we were kids. Always looking out for me. Cheering me up at my failures or when I was sad. I hate myself it was because of me that kaa and tou san ignored and pushed him away." Yui shouted out in frustation and sadness as she let a few tears escape her eyes.

Yugito looked at her incredulously and found herself looking for lies in the eyes of the red head but was unable to find anything. "You know kitten I think she is telling the truth we should help her. Your mate may get back his sister."

"How should we do it Nibi?" Yugito asked her tenant.

"I dont know kitten you should first get her to stop crying. I will try to get kyubi to losen up as well. Now go." Nibi said.

Nodding mentally she scooted over to the sobbing red head and patted her back as she said "There there. I can tell you geniunely miss Naruto kun. We will talk to him about you and you alone. Now stop crying."

"You guys really mean it?" Asked Yui. At seeing all of them nod she jumped and happily exclaimed "Yatta we are going to be the best of friends." She then jumped on the 4 Kumo kunoichis and hugged them all.

"Alright then lets all go to naruto right now and have him talk to You. I am sure he will come around." Mai said with a clap of her hand as the kunoichis all left at once dragging each other along the way.

On the way to the hotel they spotted a beaten, bruised and bleeding Naruto walking towards the hotel. The girls gasped when they saw his beaten state and rushed to him.

"Kami Naruto kun what happened to you?" Asked Yugito as she Mai, Haku and sayuri all began to check the the full extent of his injuries.

"I am fine Just went a little to far in training. Getting hit by 100 rai bunshins does its damage to you. And I didnt know youd be worried Sayuri chaaaan." Naruto explained before finishing his talk with a teasingly long suffix.

Said Uchiha sputtered out refusals which continued Untill she bonked Naruto on the head and said. "Baka I am worried about you could you please not make fun of me right now?"

Naruto chuckled good naturedly before patting the girls head causing the said uchiha to blush red. Naruto then rose his eyebrow when he saw the fidgeting red head. He quizzically looked at his fiances and saw that they were giving him the We'll talk later look.

Naruto then sighed and wiped a little blood from his cheek before saying " I am going to get a shower and then change. We can talk after that. The park would be a good place. I doubt that the locals will find it comforting that the hokages daughter in a hotel that is predominantly filled with Kumo ninja."

The girls nodded before heading of to the park. Yui for her part was fidgetting as she waited for her brother to come and talk to her. Naruto arrived some 20 mins later this time much cleaner and healthier looking than his beaten condition from a few minutes ago. As he arrived yugito walked upto him and whispered "Listen to her she is telling the truth." Naruto nodded before kissing her on the cheek and moving to the bench where Yui was sitting.

Sitting down beside her he saw that his usual loud mouth of a sister was awfully quiet and was fidgeting. Sighing he decided to forgive her. Her body language was more than enough evidence that she wanted him back. Also in all of his conscience he couldnt blame her. She had her mothers brain and he knew she couldnt think complicated things. Also he realized it would be foolish to push her away since his neglection wasnt her fault rather it was his parents decision.

So he decided to ease her up a little bit and said "Its been a long while hasnt it imouto chan. How have you been doing i hope no one made fun of you while I was away?"

Hearing him speak she launched herself at with with a cry of nisan. She sobbed into his chest as he tenderly rubbed her back. "There there yui Your brother is here. Even if there is no going back to hokage dono I am still your brother. Never forget that now tell me about your life than I will tell you mine."

Yui then nodded as both brother and sister began catching up to there lives telling them of all the friends they had made and of all the small day to day things. Needless to say by the time they returned to their estates they were both significantly happier.

BANG THATS IT FOR THE CHAP HOPE YOU LIKE IT.
