Lights in the Fridge
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
Author's Note: The last chapter seemed kind of weak to me, so I figured I owed you guys a better one. And this beats doing Geometry homework.

Naruto doesn't know the old man speaking to his dad. The old man has browned and wrinkled skin, his hair (what was left of it) and beard having long since faded to white. His very dark brown eyes were kind.
Naruto tugs at his godfather's shirt. Jiraiya leans closer. "What is it?"
"Who's he?"
"He's my old teacher. Sarutobi." Jiraiya grinned and added lowly, "He's got a few screws loose in his old age."

Minato shouldn't have been surprised when the five year old came up to Sarutobi. Naruto loved to meet new people. But when Naruto held something up to Sarutobi, Minato groaned inwardly.
"What's this for, Naruto?" Sarutobi asked, taking the offered screwdriver.
"I thought you might need it." Naruto pointed at Jiraiya. "He said you have a few screws loose."
