Enjoy min'na! :D
Since last week, I have been a very well-behaved husband. I do not want another punishment like the one I received. I had to hold my complaints during the so-called punishment. I remember Kushina left the room with a sweet smile just like she did not hit me! I will admit I was sulky after that. I remained in the room until Kushina called me for help. It was already late; Around 10 o'clock. Naruto was still sleeping and sensei, well sensei is no more my sensei! He did not help me when I needed him! Just to think about HIS help makes me sulky.
"Why are sulking again? What a big brat! Kushina, how do you do to endure a brat like Minato?" A brat? Me? Pfft! Sometimes, Jiraiya-sama does not know what he says.
"I wonder why Tsunade-sama has not beaten you to death for peeping in the women's room!" I reply frowning.
"Peeping? I am not peeping! I am just working on my books! Kushina, how does it feel to take care of two children?" He asks grinning.
No. Not yet. You will not get a victory that easily. Not with me! "I seriously admire Tsunade-sama, for her patience toward you. If I were her, I would have eaten you with mashed potatoes!"
"I am delicious! Sweet and crunchy! Kushina, when Naruto wakes up, please, ask him to teach Minato how to act like a well-behaved kid."
How does he do that? His replies are better than mine! "I understand why a man like you does not have a woman yet! You are too much pervert!"
"What did you say?! Well I also understand why you are married to Kushina! You need someone to remind you how to behave like a man!"
Argh! I sip at my tea and glare at the white-haired man. "You..!"
"Yeah!? Me what uh?! Tell me! Tell to your sensei what you have to say!" He hits the table and so do I. We face each other with a cold glare.
I see Kushina enters the kitchen but I do not really pay attention to her. "Pervy sensei!"
"Yellow hedgehog!"
"Frog's slave!" He widens his eyes and smiles like he knows what will be his next move.
"Konoha Yellow Brat!"
"Legendary perverted!"
"It is LEGENDARY SANNIN!"
"I know! Pervy sannin!"
"PERVY SANNIN? You droopy-eyes!"
"I DO NOT HAVE DROOPY EYES!"
"I know, Droopy eyes Hokage."
We are almost going to fight like real men when both, sensei and I get hit by something really hard. We wince and rapidly sit down. That's it, Kushina is angry. "Minato! Jiraiya! Enough already! I will really take Naruto here to teach you how to behave! Stop quarrelling like kids. If you do not stop, you will have another taste of my wooden spoon! Is that understood?"
"Yes ma'am." We both say like scolded kids. She keeps doing her things while Jiraiya and I throw evil looks to each other.
"You are just starting to know me, son." He says cheekily.
"I already know you sensei. Well enough to know your next move." We whisper and keep fighting over who knows the other better.
"What am I hearing? Is that another quarrel?" Kushina takes her wooden spoon and stops cutting the meat.
Crips! "Sensei, I would like to show you my new jutsu!" I say almost excited. Of course, I do not have a new jutsu, it is just to show to my wife how interesting is to talk around the table with Jiraiya-sensei.
"Oh amazing! I did not know you were working on a new jutsu! I thought you would spend your time sipping tea." He falsely replies to escape troubles with Kushina.
"Good boys! That is what I like." she washes her hand and dry them with the kitchen towel. "I will be back, the meal is ready but do not eat until noon! Can I entrust Naruto?"
"Of course!" We both reply in unison.
"She asked me! Not you!" I say slightly shaking my head.
"She did not say Minato or love or my yellow hedgehog so to me, we both have to babysit Naruto!"
"If you are going to fight over who will take care of Naruto then, I will take him with me and leave you two alone. I do not want to entrust my baby son to adults who cannot stop fighting over something meaningless!"
"Alright, we stop. Naruto will be happy to have us as babysitters!" I say kissing Kushina.
"Thank you!" She smiles blushing and waves her hand, leaving us alone. We both wave our hands back and grin. The moment she closes the door, the fight start again.
"So where was I?" He thinks looking at the ceiling. "Oh yeah! No, in fact I don't remember."
"Better like that!" I leave the kitchen to Naruto's room and check if he is still sleeping.
"Why did you let me talking alone?! How cruel!" He whispers desperately. I gesture him to stop making any annoying noise but he keeps complaining.
"Sensei, quiet! If Naruto wakes up now, he will be all grumpy and to babysit a grumpy baby is not easy task!" I say quietly.
"Hmph! You think I cannot handle a grumpy baby? AH! Do not underestima-"
I put my finger near his lips and shush him. "Quiet now, quiet."
"Why are you treating me like a kid?" He removes my finger and folds his arms.
"Just leave the room if you cannot be quiet!" This time, I'm the one losing patience.
"Alright! See ya!" He slowly leaves the room and shuts the door really hard. Consequence? Naruto has awaken and he is crying.
"SENSEI!" He rapidly opens Naruto's door and apologize.
"It was an accident! I did not mean to shut the door that hard! I am sorry! I am sorry! Not my fault if I am that strong!"
I frown at him but he is right. It was an accident and he did not want to wake up Naruto. I sigh and slightly smile. "It is okay sensei." He suddenly seems relieved and leaves me alone with Naruto.
"Shush, shush, baby. I am sorry son." I rock him to make him fall asleep but it looks like he does not want to go back to sleep. "I guess your nap is over then?" His yellowish hair is all messy but he is cute like that. It shows me he did really sleep. "Are you hungry baby?" I take his pacifier and bring it with me. "Some days, you are heavier than others or it just me who has not noticed that you are no more a newborn." He rests his head on my chest while we make our way to the kitchen.
"Good morning sleeping prince!" Sensei greets him bowing down his head.
"Are you happy to see Jiraiya-sama?" I ask him while sitting him in his high chair. "Sir, we have-" I check in the fridge for Naruto's food but I find nothing. "Uh-oh I think mom forgot to prepare your food!"
"Don't be such a lazy father! Make him some!"
"I bet you cannot cook!" I reply taking some fresh veggies out.
"Ah! Are you underestimating my skills? I, the great Toad Sage can do everything all men do!" He poses and shows his, apparently, amazing body to Naruto. "Naruto, some day, you will be as handsome as I am!" Naruto looks at him puzzled, sucking his pacifier. "Do not listen to him little sunshine. The hit he received from your mommy seriously gave him a problem in his head." I chuckle and give him some Baby Mum-Mum rice biscuits while I prepare him a good lunch.
"Pffft! Son, you are dead wrong. What are you trying to show here? Naruto, your daddy is still angry at me because I did not help him last week." I hear him whisper that to Naruto and throw him a baby carrot. Naruto giggles when he sees the carrot hit sensei's face and even ask for the fallen veggie.
"Did you just throw me a baby carrot? Did you really do it?"
"Nope. The carrot decided to fly by its own. OF COURSE IT WAS ME!" I say laughing. Naruto joins me in my laughter without knowing why. I keep throwing him some veggies and yogurt.
"Brat! Such a brat! Too bad you are not the 12 years-old genin you were! I remember how I slapped your little bum when you misbehaved!" He uses his serious voice and it reminds me how strict he was when one of us, in our team would act recklessly.
No... That is not funny. I stop laughing and keep preparing Naruto's meal.
"Ah... So you are quiet now? I see my serious voice still has an effect on you." I see him clean his face and I chuckle subtly.
"Sensei, you were and are a pervert!"
"Wha-what? Why?!"
"When you punished us, you were always chuckling!"
"N-no! I chuckled because your teammates and you were such a pain sometimes. I-I never never ever- Just what the heck did you just say! I will always respect my students!"
"Yeah yeah! Anyway, Naruto, ready to eat?"
"Give me that!" He takes the bowl away from my hands and sits next to Naruto. "I will feed him." He says grumpily.
"You do not know how to feed him! Give me that!" I try to take the bowl of his hands but he fights to keep it.
"I said I would feed him so I will feed him!" He takes the first spoon of Naruto's meal and leads it to Naruto's mouth.
"Sensei!" I almost want to push him off the chair. "He is my son! I feed him not you!"
"HAHAHAHA! Whining because I am feeding your son! You have not changed." He keeps feeding him and I give up.
"Alright." I sit on the chair in the corner and watch him feed Naruto. Well, he is not that bad to feed babies. I watch him carefully and when he finishes, he gives me the empty bowl back.
"What?" I ask looking at the empty bowl.
"You can wash it."
"Why don't you wash it?" I ask.
"Because I said I would feed him, not wash his bowl." He grins and leaves me the bowl on my lap.
"Very well then. That proves me you are not man enough to wash what you used!" I walk toward the sink and Jiraiya runs toward me. He pushes me and takes the bowl. A little bit confused by what just happened, I get closer to him to see what he is doing.
"Are you washing Naru-"
"I am not going to let you bring my name and reputation down!"
"Reputation? Humph, I wonder who is better man at home."
"I can clean this house in thirty minutes! I bet you cannot beat my time!"
"Is that so? Challenge accepted!" I start running around trying to clean everything on my way. Then I remember Naruto is still in his high chair. I run to the kitchen but sensei has already put him down.
"Did you forget something really important?" He asks cleaning Naruto's hands and face. "If I remember well, you said last week that you were the best father Naruto could ever have right?"
"I just forgot! Sensei,-" It is my turn to push him now. "Hello baby! Let's play!" I take him to the living room and sit him down on the carpet.
"No! He will play with me!" Jiraiya-sensei brings some toys from Naruto's room and put them right in front of Naruto. "There, there. What do you want to play?"
"Ah! No way he will play with you!" I go to my son's room and get his favourite toy. "Here! I show him the dancing frog and he crawls to get it. "That's my son! I told you didn't I?"
Sensei growls and gets ready for his next move. "He will love me more than you!" He summons one of his frogs and Naruto squeals of surprise. "Naruto, let me introduce you Gamakichi!" A very young, not to say a baby frog, appeared in the living room. It has the size of Naruto's head. Oh, and Naruto's head is very small! For a nine month-old baby, it is the normal size! Kushina told me that when she went to Naruto's appointment with the doctor. Now that I remember, next week is Naruto's vaccination! But now, that is not the problem. Jiraiya-sensei is my rival and I have to show to Naruto how great and powerful is his daddy!
"Dada!"
"Yes son, let's make our next move before your Godfather does!" I take him and lay him on his back. "Monster is coming! Nom nom nom!" I blow raspberries on his tummy and he giggles in delight. "That is how you enjoy time with a baby!" I keep making him laugh and suddenly, I feel a firm hand on my shoulder.
"Sensei? Wha-what are you going to do?"
"This!" He pushes me and I fall on my right side facing a couch. That is dangerous! Really really dangerous! He will not do what I think he will do right? "Time to pay for your crime!"
"N-no sensei! Please!" I start chuckling but I am trying to escape from his evil hands. "Please, I promise I will let you play with Naruto!"
"Too late kid!" I see his giant hands coming towards me again and I know I lost this battle. "Welcome to hell!" He tickles me and I burst into laughter. Naruto just sat on his bum and is watching the scene grinning with his few teeth. "Se-se-sensei!" I almost scream for help but who can help me? Who will save me from this tickles? Who? "HELP! Ku-Kushina!" I am almost losing my breath but if I let him win, I will prove Jiraiya-sensei that he still has power on me. "S-STOP!"
"I decide when I stop!" He laughs evilly and keeps on the torture. I cannot take any more. Too much laughter will kill me! I am having abs again! I see them coming! "Na-Naruto! He-Help!" I know my son cannot help me in this situation. He is too much young to understand that I am in need of help. "Na-Naru-" I start coughing of much laughter and sensei gives me a break. A 10 seconds break. Enough to regain strength and hope to survive this. "I am n-not a-a chii-child a-anymore!" I say through laughter and some coughs.
"Oh really? Wait, what did you say? I did not hear a thing!" He is playing with my endurance but do not underestimate me sensei! Namikaze Minato is stronger than the 12 years-old he knew. I stop fighting for my liberty after some seconds. I am about to give up when I see something heading Jiraiya's head. What is that?
"Ow!" He complains looking at the thing he just received on his head.
A red cube! I glance at Naruto and he is already holding another cube in his little hands. He seems angry. Did he throw that cube to sensei? If he did, did he do it to help me?
"Little cubes won't stop this man!" Jiraiya-sama forgets about Naruto and continues me.
"AHHHH HAHAHAHAHA! Sto-Stop a-already!" Once again, I see another cube flying toward my sensei's head. He suddenly stops and notices the cube. "I told you, little cu-" Like drops from a rainy cloud, sensei gets hit by many cube.
"DADAAAAA!"
I almost want to cry. No, this is not corny but honestly, when you see your son is protecting you, it is the best feeling ever. I see him fight with Jiraiya, screaming and throwing cubes. I smile and feel extremely proud of him. "Naru-" My eyes are almost bigger than a peach when I see Naruto trying to stand on his little feet. He gets support from the couch and falls after many attempts but he keeps trying. "Sensei... Is he-" We both look at him steadily and almost gasp when he falls.
"Why is not Kushina here?" I whisper to Jiraiya. "You can do it Naruto!" I push sensei away and help Naruto. "That's it! One foot, then the other!" I hold him by his hands and he giggles.
"I'm home!"
"KUSHINA COME NOW!" My wife comes running scared by my shout. "Wha-" She sees Naruto trying to walk and she runs toward him to help him.
"Come to mommy baby!" She stretches her arms to receive Naruto and hug him but when I help Naruto, I notice he is not heading mom but Jiraiya.
"Look at the cute brat! He still wants to beat the hell out of me! What a persistent child."
"Naruto, go to mommy!" He does not want. He seriously wants to go toward sensei. When he is really close to him, he removes one of his hands of my hands and falls on my sensei's lap.
"Well hello the-AHHHH!" Jiraiya rapidly sits Naruto away from him and rubs his leg.
"What happened?!" Asks Kushina alarmed by the scream of the white-haired man.
"He bit me!"
"Naruto, you do not bite people! How many times do I have to tell you not to b-i-t-e people!" Kushina starts lecturing him but, he does not deserve it this time. He was just, taking revenge on Jiraiya-sensei for tickling me.
"Kushina, love, do not lecture him. He was just defending me."
"What? What nonsense are you talking about?"
"He is right Kushina." Adds Jiraiya with teary eyes.
"Did he bite you that hard?" I ask surprised by his teary eyes.
"No!" He looks away still rubbing his leg. "He has some teeth you know!"
"Well, if you say so then, Naruto, lucky you. You just escaped from a long lecture. Anyway, you would not understand a word I say. Oh! Now that I remember, mom brought you something!" Kushina caresses Naruto's hair and leaves the living room.
"I told you Kushina was the one who spoiled Naruto." I say chuckling.
"I see... I think I'm better as godfather! Now that I think of it, if he reacted like that at his 9 months, then how would he react if someone hurts you at his 5?"
"I seriously do not know. He is just cute! I love my baby so-"
"JIRAIYA! MINATO! COME HERE NOW!"
We both quickly share a look and chuckle nervously. We forgot to clean the mess when I started throwing baby carrots and yogurt to Jiraiya and sensei forgot to wash Naruto's bowl. The kitchen is a mess and that place, that blessed kitchen, no one can mess with it except Kushina.
"Well... Good luck Minato!" He walks silently toward the main door.
"Where do you think you are going?!"
I start chuckling but I receive a glare from my wife. "Come here you too!" I follow them with my head down.
~Minutes later~
"This is your fault!"
"You started!" I reply.
"Pfft! You were the sulky one!"
"I said 'clean up the kitchen' not have a quarrel!"
"Yes ma'am!" We both reply, washing the floor with towels.
"You will pay for this!" Says Jiraiya whipping his drops of sweat of his forehead.
"YOU will!"
"Oh really? Brat!"
"Pervy-sensei!"
"I am not a pervy sensei!"
"Yes you are!"
"Last warning! Oh... And do not forget to clean Naruto's room for taking all the toys out!"
"Ah goodness..." I sigh and so does Jiraiya.
"Let's stop fighting and-"
"Yeah. I got it."
"Good boys! See Naruto, you don't play with food in my kitchen or else, you will end up cleaning all the kitchen like these two kids."
Ahhhh! :D I really love my story! I hope I did not make lots of mistakes!
