Chapter 12: Holiday Cheer
Minato awoke before Sakura and Naruto and quickly grabbed his camera to snap a photo of the two snuggled up next to each other to keep warm. Naruto was now two and extremely attached to Sakura, she was his "mother". Lately Sakura had picked up on saying weird and odd little quirks like "Ya know!?" but didn't think too much into it. So Minato quickly took the picture before nudging Sakura awake to tell her the Hokage wishes to speak to the entire family. Naruto scowled the way a two year old would, "Mommy, I not want to go!" Minato chuckled, "You have to go Naruto with mommy and daddy." Naruto folded his arms and huffed, "Fine, only if mommy and daddy go!"
The family of three walked to the Hokage tower and once there they knocked on the door. They heard Sarutobi's muffled 'enter' and they walked in. "Ah, Sakura, Minato and Naruto! I have an important topic to ask of the two of you." Sakura and Minato both nodded. Sarutobi continued, "I am old so I am looking to retire and place someone else as my stand in as Hokage. But we have one problem." Minato spoke, "And what would that problem entail lord 3rd? Sarutobi grinned, "My two main choices are Minato Kamikaze and Sakura Kamikaze." Sakura stood forward, "I would be honored Hokage-sama, but I have Naruto to look after, so Minato would be the much better candidate, ya know!"
Sarutobi nodded, "Then it is settled. The fourth Hokage of the Village Hidden in the Leaf, Konoha will be Minato Kamikaze." Minato was speechless and he turned towards Sakura who had a huge grin on her face, "You'll do great as Hokage, ya know!?" Minato chuckled, "Thanks sweet heart." Minato was then handed the fourth Hokage robe; white with red flames at the bottom.
The two walked hand in hand with their son Naruto. Sakura spaced out and wasn't paying attention whenever she bumped into someone. Sasuke stood frozen as he watched the happy family walk his way whenever Sakura ran into him and began apologizing, "Hello Sakura…" Sakura's eyes shot up whenever she heard his voice, "Hello Sasuke…" The two hadn't really spoken since that day two years ago. Sasuke had a kunai ready to jam into Sakura's chest but couldn't bring himself to actually do it seeing Sakura so happy.
It was Christmas day and Naruto was bouncing off of the walls with excitement, running into his sleeping parent's room and jumping on them, "Get up, Get up! Santa brought presents!" Sakura giggled, "Oh did he?" she bent over and gave Minato a soft kiss on the cheek, "Wake up daddy, Santa came and brought presents." Minato rolled out of bed and lugged his way into the living room whenever he heard Sakura gasp.
Minato jumped, "What happened!?" Sakura giggled and pointed outside, "It's snowing!" Naruto's ears perked up upon hearing this, "Daddy, daddy, daddy can we please go and play in the snow!?" Minato chuckled and nodded, "Sure Naruto, why not?"
Sasuke stood hidden in a tree while the Namikaze family threw snowballs at each other, made snowmen and lay in the snow to make snow angels. He clenched his hand which had a kunai safely secured in it and vanished, appearing in the clearing where the family was.
Kurama sensed something off about Sasuke and growled inside of Sakura, 'Sakura, I don't like the evil vibes he is giving off…' Sakura looked at Sasuke's smiling face, 'What are you talking about Kurama?' Sasuke came up and ruffled Naruto's hair. Minato crossed his arms and scowled, "Sasuke, what can we help you with…?" Sasuke gave him an innocent look, "I just happened to be out and about considering I have no family to spend Christmas with." Naruto ran to Sakura and hugged her legs and she protectively shielded him from Sasuke. Sakura smiled at Naruto, "Common sweetie, how about we let daddy talk to his friend and we go and make some hot chocolate, what do you say…?" Naruto's face brightened up, "Okay mommy!" Sakura held Naruto's hand and glanced back nervously as she and Naruto walked back up to their home.
Minato scowled and folded his arms, "What do you really want Sasuke." Sasuke grinned, "To give Sakura a Christmas present. It would blow her mind out of this world…" Suddenly the two heard a female voice, "Minato, Merry Christmas, ya know!?" Kushina ran up out of breath and smiled, "Where's my cousin and nephew?" Minato smiled, "They're up in the house making hot chocolate if you want to go ahead and head on up." Kushina nodded, "See you in a bit Minato!"
Sasuke kept staring hard at Minato so whenever he turned back his eyes didn't falter. Once Kushina was inside she walked up to Sakura who was worriedly staring out the window. So whenever Kushina put her hand on Sakura's shoulder it made her jump, "Oh Kushina, it's just you." Kushina laughed, "What's wrong Sakura?" Sakura turned back to look at Minato arguing with Sasuke and sighed, "Kushina if I tell you something can you promise to keep it a secret…?" Kushina nodded and took Sakura's hand, "You can tell me anything Sakura." Sakura sighed, "I'm not from this dimension Kushina…"
Kushina's eyes widened, "What?" Sakura looked down, "I know it sounds strange but it's true." Kushina began to stutter, "H…have you t…told Minato?" Sakura shook her head, "For two years we have been happy… I have been happy, ya know? Raising Naruto has been the pride of my life these past two years and it's hard now to think of life any other way…" Kushina nodded, "I understand Sakura… The need to feel happy… Minato is a great guy and the two of you work perfectly together. And Naruto is just simply a doll." Sakura smiled, "Thank you for understanding Kushina."
She nodded and grinned, "So I thought we were going to make hot chocolate, ya know!?" Sakura laughed, "Oh right!"
