Minato felt hazy. It was as if the concept of clarity was gone from the world, and there was nothing but foggy comprehension. Images flashed before his eyes as if he were watching a collaboration of all the events that had taken place in his life. An image would appear, linger, and then fade away back into the oblivion that existed around him.
The past few days had really done a number on him, and Minato was beginning to feel his body, and mind drag due to the strain. As a result, he found it difficult to think clearly about even the most simple of happenings. Flashes of monsters, red, and blue eyes began to dance before his eyes. The colors were so vibrant that Minato didn't notice when he had begun to hold his breath in fascination.
"What is this?" Minato thought out loud.
The images of cerulean eyes, red tails, and a vicious face continued to dance with each other; seemingly intertwining, and separating from one another. Minato continued to watch the eternal dance for what seemed like forever before a name began to itch at the back of his mind.
"Naruto" his mind whispered to him.
"Naruto?" Minato asked to the dark. What did Naruto have to do with any of this? The boy was trouble, and Minato knew it. His life had been so simple not just a couple days ago, and then he had to come across that boy in the woods.
"I should have just finished him off," Minato thought to himself. There was a problem with that statement thought. As much as he wanted to believe that statement, that it would have been the right thing to do; he couldn't bring himself to believe it as the truth.
Maybe it's because he knew in his heart that it wasn't the truth.
Suddenly the images began to become turbulent, and started to shift once more. Their dance was disrupted as more, and more visions of Naruto began to fill the space in Minato's line of sight. Pictures of Naruto laughing, in pain, unconscious, pictures of him smiling, and also pictures of him….blushing? For a moment, Minato was confused as to why he would have been around Naruto when he was blushing, but then remembered the situation he found himself in not only yesterday.
Memories began to flood not only Minato's vision, but also his sense of touch. He felt a ghost across his lips, and the sensation of soft golden locks in his hands. He felt a strong, toned back, and a vague pain in his ass.
As all of these sensations began to flood him, one in particular stood out from all the rest. It was the feeling of soft, supple lips against his own. The memory was fleeting, but for some reason it left Minato wanting more. He reached out for the image, but his hand simply phased through it as if it wasn't there at all.
At this point, Minato didn't really know what he was doing, but he knew that he wanted to experience the feeling of Naruto's lips against his once more. He wanted more.
Once again, the images began to change in front of Minato, but this time it was different. Instead of reconfiguring into another set of images, the images began to collect together into a shape of some sort.
Minato couldn't help but stare in awe at what was occurring. The images had finished shifting around. Eyes wide in shock, Minato couldn't believe that he was staring at Naruto!
" Naruto? What are you doing here?" Minato asked quickly as his heart felt like it was going to beat out of his chest.
Naruto didn't say a single word as he began to walk towards Minato. His steps were eerily silent as the distance between the two men grew less, and less. Minato couldn't think. His mind went blank at the first sight of the boy that had caused him so much trouble the past few days. Minato noticed that he was trembling, but he couldn't make himself stop. It was as if he had lost complete control of his own body. Even so, he wasn't scared and that is what intrigued Minato the most.
It was that he realized that he was thrilled.
Naruto had finally reached Minato's feet, and Minato's breath hitched. Naruto then moved to crouch by where Minato was sitting. Raising a hand, he placed his tan palm on the soft skin on Minato's cheek. Naruto didn't move for a while after that. Minato simply stared into the oceanic depths that were Naruto's eyes. Minato knew that he could easily get lost in those eyes, but also knew that there was a danger that lurked deep down inside of Naruto. That didn't stop him from wanting to move closer though.
Minato sensed that the distance between him and Naruto was closing, and he finally managed to let out a ragged breath that he didn't know he had been holding. The closeness he was experiencing seemed to ease Minato for some reason, and the thought itself confused him even more.
Naruto continued to move closer, and closer. The space between their lips getting smaller, and smaller. It wasn't until Minato could practically feel Naruto's nose on his that he finally closed his eyes, and waited for what was to come.
The wait was excruciating, and time felt like it was moving through molasses to Minato. He was just about to reach out, and smash his lips to the other blonde's when he finally felt the gentle caress of Naruto's lips against his own. Minato moaned into the kiss. He was in pure bliss.
Minato knew that something was wrong, but at the current moment, he couldn't be bothered. He was to enraptured with the feel of his lips against Naruto's soft, supple ones. When Minato began to struggle for breath, he slowly began to pull away from Naruto. Moving his eyes back up to Naruto's, Minato gassed in shock before pulling away completely.
The right half of Naruto's face had turned completely black along with his right eye turning red. Images of the other day flashed in his mind, and Minato scrambled to stand.
" What the hell?" Minato all but screamed.
It took all his years of being a ninja to not immediately panic at the sight before him. One moment he was trading sweet kisses with Naruto, then the next Naruto had become a beast. Thoughts swarmed Minato's head. Why is this happening? Why did Naruto manifest in his mind? So many other questions made themselves known, but the one that stood out the most is the one that made Minato the most curious. What was Naruto?
Naruto merely watched as Minato continued to take slight retreating steps away from him. By this time, Naruto's right side had been completely enveloped in that vile chakra-face, body and all.
Minato immediately went tense. This was not good, and he knew it. He had witnessed Naruto practically level part of the hospital in this form. If he wasn't careful, he could die. The mere thought scared Minato more than anything. He refused to die before becoming the Hokage, and yet despite his resolve, he couldn't deny the threat that stood a mere couple of feet away.
Minato pulled out a kunai, and got into his best fighting stance. Naruto, or rather the being that Naruto had become flinched at the sudden movement. Getting up from its crouching position, the being got on all fours. Minato watched as it looked like Naruto was about to attack.
Muscles tensing, Minato's mind raced to find several counters that would be effective. He didn't have much time to think before Naruto raced at him with unimaginable speed. In a mere flash, Naruto was in front of Minato about to strike.
Minato could only watch as he attempted a futile block. Naruto's clawed hand was about to make contact, and Minato knew it would be the end of this fight- if you could even call this a fight.
Just as Naruto's clawed hand was about to make contact with his chest, Minato's world suddenly went black.
Jerking upright in his bed, Minato's eyes darted around the room to try and lock on to the being that was attacking him, but instead found nothing other than his own belongings. Minato's eyes frowned in confusion before he realized that everything he had just experienced was a dream. It had never happened-well in reality that is.
Minato was disoriented to say the least. His pillows, and blankets were drenched in sweat from the scare he had experienced earlier. After rubbing the crust out of the corners of his eyes, Minato looked over to his alarm clock to see that is was 6:13am. Minato simply stared at the clock before ultimately deciding to get out of bed, and take a shower to prepare for his upcoming meeting with Naruto.
…..Naruto. That boy seemed to haunt him even in his dreams. A faint blush peppered Minato's cheeks as he began to remember the events prior to Naruto transforming into a monster. He felt a ghost over his lips and immediately thought of the kiss that he and Naruto shared in the hospital. Minato brought his right hand to his lips as him mind shifted to the searing kiss that they shared in his dream.
While seemingly lost in his thoughts, Minato didn't really notice the twitches of interest that were taking place in his cock. As his member began to swell with blood and become more sensitive, Minato was finally pulled out of his thoughts. Looking down at his crotch, Minato practically glared at where his body seemed to betray him.
"Ugh not now!" Minato thought to himself.
There was absolutely no way that he was getting involved with that boy. Not only was he possibly a danger to Konoha, but he was also another boy.
" Even hypothetically it is still wrong. My attraction to Naruto is simply a result of my blatant lack of sexual activity, and hormones. I am only 15 after all" Minato justified to himself.
Deciding to just ignore his pretty noticeable problem, Minato moved to get out of bed. He took leisurely strides to the bathroom where he discarded his sweat ridden clothes into the hamper that stood behind the door. Turning on the water, Minato adjusted the temperature to his liking before stepping into the warm stream. The feeling of the warm water hitting his face, and running down his body was enough to help him relax after that dream.
Minato went through this usual shower routine; washing his hair, body, and ridding himself of any residual dirt before turning off the water. He opened the shower curtain and pulled a towel off the hanger and dried himself off before securing the towel around his hips.
Stepping over to the mirror, Minato went about his morning endeavors before he had to meet up with Naruto.
Naruto woke to the sound of a nurse opening the sliding door to his room to perform her morning check up. As she walked over, Naruto sat up in bed as he already knew the procedure from the day before. She recorded her vitals, and asked him about any residual pain from the other day, and he gave her the same answers he did before.
If he were being completely honest, Naruto felt completely and utterly fine. No pain, no soreness, nothing. Looking at the clock next to his bed, Naruto saw that he had about an hour before Minato would be over to collect him.
Deciding that he didn't want to piss off the other blond-who could cause more problems for him- Naruto decided to get up and prepare for his day. Minato hadn't said what he wanted to do with him, but Naruto really hoped it had something to do with sparring, or training. He was dying to be able to actually do something that was productive. All he had done since his arrival was get hurt, ill, and spend more time in the hospital.
Once the nurse had gotten all the information she needed, she left. As soon as the door slid shut behind her, Naruto shot out of bed, and immediately made a b-line towards the bathroom. Here he rinsed his face, and brushed his teeth.
Feeling refreshed, Naruto saw that someone had brought him breakfast while he was busy in the bathroom. He munched on an apple, and ate his oatmeal not wanting to do anything too strenuous on an empty stomach. While eating the food, and deciding that it was awfully bland, Naruto decided that after he was done with whatever Minato had planned, he was going to eat his weight at Ichiraku's.
Naruto was just pulling on his new uniform when Minato slid open his door. The two blond's mere looked at each other before Naruto looked away muttering " Good morning". Minato simply nodded before asking if Naruto was ready to go.
" Yeah I am ready. Please lead me away from this hell hole," Naruto groaned while somehow keeping an excited energy.
This elicited a small smile from Minato before the older blond elaborated as to what they were doing this morning.
" I have been given orders to assess your skills and give a detailed report to the Hokage, so we will be spending the day at the training grounds," Minato began to explain. " Don't think that you have any restrictions, because you don't. Treat me like an enemy shinobi, and expect me to do the same," Minato finally finished.
Seeing that Minato wasn't planning on adding anything, Naruto just chose to nod in comprehension. At that, Minato motioned for them to finally leave that damned room. As Naruto finally stepped outside of the hospital and felt the warmth of the sun against his whiskered cheeks once more, his excitement spiked.
He felt rejuvenated, but at the same time odd. He couldn't quite place the feeling, but Naruto put it off after seeing that Minato had continued to walk on towards the village gates without him.
" Hey! Minato! What the hell? Wait up!" Naruto screamed as he ran to catch up with the older blond. Minato simply continued on his path, not paying any attention to the loud boy that had finally realized that he had left without him.
When they had finally reached the training grounds, Minato immediately motioned for Naruto to take a fighting stance. " Remember, give me everything you have. More than likely, I will be able to handle your best anyway," Minato stated rather coyly. Naruto visibly bristled at the statement, but said nothing as he focused on the older blond before him.
The two boys settled into defensive stances, and began the stare down that preceded the actual battle. Neither of them moved, but kept their keep eyes on each other for even the slightest muscle tension that would indicate an attack.
Minato was the first one to move, charging rapidly at Naruto to attempt a frontal attack. Naruto immediately made the requisite hand signs before shouting, " Multi-Shadow Clone jutsu!" and brought well over 100 other Naruto's into existence.
Naruto watched as Minato halted immediately to take in what he was seeing. It was impressive for the average person to produce one, or two clones, and up to 6-10 for Jounin, and higher level shinobi. But this many? This was far beyond the capacity of any normal shinobi. This fact set Minato on edge.
"Just what is this kid? " Minato asked himself. The amount of chakra that it must have took to produce this number of clones had to be massive, and yet Naruto didn't even look phased.
Seeing that Minato was still trying to figure out what to do, Naruto chose to take action. Sending 10 clones Naruto quickly began to scatter about his multitude of clones to hide himself in the midst of all the fakes.
Minato snapped out of his amazement when he saw the 10 clones charging their way to him. Getting into a fighting stance, he lashed out at the first clone. He delivered a fast punch to the stomach, and watched while being satisfied as the clone disappeared into a puff of smoke. The other clones were more cautious of him after that, but the thrill of this being a challenge for him excited Minato.
The clones surrounded Minato, and began their diversionary tactics. Attacking simultaneously, they Minato didn't have a chance to do much else other than defend. Even with his speed he was being backed into a corner, and Minato knew it. Minato sensed kunai being thrown at him and skillfully dodged them as they flew right past his head.
That was his mistake. The kunai never made it to the ground, and instead happened to be a transformed Naruto that changed back into his original form to deliver a powerful kick to Minato's back that sent him flying to the ground. What happened was a blur but as he tried to get off the ground, he was flipped over, and the next thing he knew he had a young blond straddling him with a kunai pressed to his jugular.
Shocked. Purely shocked is what Minato was. He had gone into this spar thinking that Naruto wouldn't be much of a fight by himself. No. To his knowledge Naruto was only dangerous when he transformed into whatever monster that seemed to share his body.
But here he was, with Naruto straddling him clearly winning the spar.
Naruto was grinning at him. It was a slightly smug grin, but mostly one of pure….glee? Minato wouldn't have thought it genuine but the look on the boys face was so pure that it must have been real. Naruto must have been having a lot of fun being able to get out and battle someone. It made Minato want to know more about the battle that seemingly got him sent here, but he decided to save that conversation for another time.
"Okay I get it. You're strong. Would you mind getting off of me now?" Minato asked while attempting to emulate a nonchalant tone.
Naruto frowned at his request, but got off nonetheless. As he got to his feet, Naruto offered Minato his hand to help him up, and Minato reluctantly took it.
" Well I got the information that I needed. I am going to go report to Lord Third. You are free to go back to your apartment, and stay there until I visit you next," Minato stated bluntly.
As he began to turn to walk away from Naruto, suddenly a hand was jerking him around and he was met with deep cerulean eyes once more.
" What do you want?" Minato asked in a slightly irritated tone.
Naruto just looked at him, more like stared at him before his focused look softened into one of slight anxiety. Naruto no longer met his gaze, but instead looked at the ground between their feet. When Naruto finally spoke up, Minato was not expecting him to request what he did.
" Would you mind stopping by later after your report? I could-um….make you dinner or something? I kind of would like to have someone around since I don't have good luck with staying well apparently," Naruto asked in a tone what both sheepish, and somewhat daring.
Minato was taken aback by the statement. Of all the things that Naruto could have asked of him, he wanted his company? The idea made a slight smile pull at the corner of his lips before replying to the younger blond.
" Sure I don't have anything to do after the report. Just make sure you don't cook anything. The last time you tried you basically poisoned yourself. Neither of us need to end up in the hospital if we can help it," Minato finished with a teasing tone.
With that he leaped into the trees and began his journey to the Hokage's Mansion. Minato was thinking about a lot of things, but was it strange that he felt slightly giddy that he was supposed to meet up with Naruto after all of this?
He sure thought so.
