Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Naruto because if I did things would probably go A LOT differently. Plus I'm not Japanese and I'm not that good at drawing.

Naruto looked around the small apartment that Minato had led him to. It was semi-neat, with the occasional scroll or kunai lying about over the furniture. Minato walked in after Naruto and began to pick up some of the things that had been lying around.

"Ah-hah, sorry about the mess. I really wasn't expecting any guests," Minato said apologetically while dumping his collection of ninja tools on a table that seemed to be acting as a make shift desk. Naruto nodded absentmindedly as he continued to look around his father's living space.

"I don't have a guest room or anything, but I have been told that my couch is really comfortable," Minato said, he looked slightly embarassed.

"It's alright. It's better than sleeping on the ground," said Naruto and gave him a smile to show that he wasn't offended. Minato smiled back.

"Alright then, I'll give you a tour of the place. Right now you are in the living room area." Minato gestured to the small room which contained an admittedly cozy-looking couch, a low coffee table that also seemed to serve as a desk, and a TV in the corner. The walls were a plain white, but were covered with either scrolls or the occasional painting, and the floor was made of wood.

"Our next room," Minato pointed to the doorway to their left. "Is the kitchen, which is probably where I spend the least amount of my time. The only thing you'll find in there is instant ramen, some milk, and if you're lucky the occasional leftovers that Rin's family is nice enough to send over."

Naruto nodded while looking briefly into the small kitchenette that was a thousand times better than his own mini-fridgerator and table that served as his kitchen. Although the contents weren't that much different.

"As we make our way down the hall in front of us, the bathroom is located on the left and the linen closet is located on our right where you can easily find all your hygeine materials. The door at the very end is my room, which you probably don't want to go near since it probably looks like a couple of explosive tags went off in there."

Minato gave another grin and chuckle at his (admittedly lame) joke.

"So...um, what do you want to do?" asked Minato, now that he was done with the 'tour'. Naruto thought for a moment and then looked up.

"Well, I kinda lost most of my stuff before I got here and since I don't have clothes for tomorrow and everything..." said Naruto. Minato brightened up after hearing this.

"That's okay, I know a place that'll make you more of whatever you're wearing, so don't worry! Let's go!" exclaimed Minato as he grabbed Naruto's hand and began dragging him towards the door.

"W-wait! I don't have any money! Can we go to sensei's first o-or something?" Naruto pleaded while trying to pull away from the tight grip on his wrist.

"Don't worry about it. Think of it as a good luck gift before you go take the chunin exams. Y'know they're being held this year in the Forest of Death. If I didn't already know that you had passed the chunin exams, I'd feel sorry for you," Minato said laughingly while continuing to drag Naruto out the door.

Naruto's face dropped and comepletely deadpanned.

"You don't say?"

'Nice to know that at the age of twelve I was thrown into a place that even the fourth Hokage was afraid of. Just great.'

00000000-With Sakura and Rin-00000000

"Your parents are really nice Rin-san," said Sakura as she looked at the books in the other medic-nin's room.

"I guess so... I guess since they're my parents I really can't see them that way," said Rin giggling a bit.

"Yeah, I know how you feel," said Sakura giggling as well.

'Rin is really nice too. I wonder why Kakashi-sensei never told us about his old teammates before.'

"So, did Sakubo-san teach you medical ninjutsu? Or did someone else?" asked Rin.

"No, Sakubo-sensei hasn't really taught me any jutsu in years, even though he's always willing to help. I have a master back home. She's a really talented medic-nin and she was nice enough to take me on as her apprentice."

"It really sounds like you admire her a lot," said Rin politely.

"Yeah, she taught me everything I know about medical ninjutsu and she taught me how to use my chakra to fight one-on-one." said Sakura. Rin's eyes widened at this.

"You fight opponents with taijutsu? The most I ever really get to do in a fight is throw genjutsu," said Rin.

"That used to be my role too, but shishou says that it's as important for a medic-nin to be able to fight and defend themselves as it is for them to learn medical ninjutsu becuase if we're injured how will we heal everyone else?" said Sakura remembering her training with the slug sannin.

"She sounds wise. What's her name?" asked Rin curiously.

'Oh crap!' thought Sakura. 'If I say that Tsunade-sama is my master then what'll happen? She is one the sannin... Well, Tsunade did travel a lot... maybe I can twist this a little.'

"Um, Tsunade-sama," said Sakura nervously, waiting Rin's reaction.

Rin's mouth dropped and began to move up and down comically.

"Ts-Tsunade-sama is your master!" exclaimed Rin. Sakura gave a small laugh and rubbed the back of her head.

"Ahahaha...did I forget to mention that?" asked Sakura, feeling more like Kakashi with each passing second. Rin deadpanned.

"Yeah, you might've forgotten to mention that," said Rin in monotone.

'Well, now you know, I guess," said Sakura.

"But wait! How did you get her to take you as her apprentice? I mean I hear that she's picky with her apprentices and she doesn't practice as a ninja or a medic anymore. She just travels around with her other apprentice," said Rin.

"Well, I traveled around a lot too with my parents, who are retired ninjas, and when I was 11, I began my official training with Sakubo-sensei for Konoha and when I was 12, we met by accident. I wanted to train under her and bothered her until she took me on, basically," said Sakura.

'I guess that isn't too much of lie'

"Wow, you are so lucky," said Rin in awe.

"Nah, if I didn't have good chakra contol I wouldn't be good at anything really," said Sakura modestly.

"Stop underestimating yourself. I'm sure if Tsunade agreed to train you, she saw more in you than just good chakra control," said Rin with a smile.

"Thanks, Rin," said Sakura returning the smile.

"Don't worry, Sakura," said Rin.

"But...if you don't mind Rin...can you keep this a secret? I don't want anyone to know who my master is. Sometimes the reactions that I get are a little weird, if you know what I mean," said Sakura.

"No problem, Sakura," said Rin.

00000000-With Sasuke-00000000

Sasuke walked into his old house which even in the past was frighteningly similar to what he remembered from his own childhood. He went through the familiar motion of taking off his sandals at the front door like his father and walking into the hallway that led to the kitchen.

As Sasuke and his father walked down the hallway, he began to think nostalgically of his childhood, or at least the part of his childhood where his family was still alive. Sasuke sighed as he tried to repress all the horrorific images that passed through his mind's eye. He followed his father into the open door that just happened to be adjacent to the door that Sasuke had opened as a child to see his brother standing over their parent's corpses.

When they walked into the kitchen, they were greeted with the sight of Mikoto feeding a baby Itachi making cooing noises at the stoic infant. Even though he had always held his elder brother in the highest esteem (even when he had hated him), he couldn't help but find this exceedingly funny. The man had killed over 40 elite ninja in one night, had been forced to kill his entire family (excluding Sasuke), had become a missing nin, and had joined a legendary criminal organization filled with some of the most dangerous people of all ninja-kind, was currently being fed by the choo-choo train.

"Good job, Ita-chan! You're such a good boy for mommy, eating all of your yummy veggies too. I'm so proud of you," cooed Mikoto.

Even Fugaku looked slightly amused at the scene, although it didn't have the same meaning behind it as it did for Sasuke.

"Mikoto, we have company."

"Hmm?" Mikoto hummed as she turned to face her husband. When she caught sight of the person standing next to him she looked at him curiously.

"Are you the Uchiha whom no one's ever heard of?" Mikoto asked curiously. She had straightened up from leaning over her young offspring, set down the jar of baby food, and was currently wiping her hands on a towel attached to her apron.

Sasuke nodded slightly in affirmation to the question, a little too shocked to speak after seeing his mother and brother alive again.

"Well, it's nice that we have the chance to meet you. I'm Mikoto and this is Itachi-chan," she said pleasantly and tickled Itachi a little whose face held a small smile.

"It's nice to meet you Mikoto-san," said Sasuke politely. Mikoto laughed.

"You can just call me Mikoto. We are family after all. We even look alike!" Mikoto said cheerfully.

Sasuke blushed a little as he remembered why he had loved and adored his mother so much and Fugaku looked a little pale when Mikoto had mentioned the resemblance, thinking back on the meeting in the Hokage's office.

"Thank you...Mikoto," said Sasuke hesitantly. Mikoto smiled at him warmly.

"Don't be silly. Like I said, you're family."

00000000-With Kakashi-00000000

Kakshi hummed as he walked down the path that would lead him to his old family house and wondered whether or not his younger self had murdered his subordinates yet. In his mind's eye he imagined Sai with his fake smile unwittingly insulting his younger self. The chibi would lose his control and turn Sai into a porcupine using senbon needles and kunai.

Tenzo would then proceed to have a panic attack and his younger self would probably go after him too. Fortunately, he had enough faith in Tenzo to believe that he would have enough skill to not get skewered by kunai even if he was having a panic attack.

Kakashi chuckled to himself as the movie in his head ended. However, he seriously wondered what they were doing.

'Guess I'll find out soon enough,' thought Kakashi as the house came into view.

As Kakashi came closer to the house he didn't hear any sounds that indicated an argument or a battle and figured that they were probably ignoring each other (hopefully).

When Kakashi stepped into the house after removing his sandals at the door, he called out, "I'm home!" and walked into the living room.

Sitting on the floor on one side of the table was his mini-self glaring at the slightly nervous looking Tenzo and the smiling Sai. Kakashi eye-smiled at them all.

"Well...nice to know that you're all getting along," Kakashi said with only a slight hint of sarcasm. Tenzo and the younger Kakashi glared at him.

'Right,' Kakashi thought, sweat gathering on the back of his head when he saw the looks. 'Well, no one ever said that my life was boring...'
