Okay folks I was going to work on Parallel next but I have to address this now. Someone I will not say who is trying to make me write the story a certain way. My answer to he or she is this. GO READ MY PROFILE. Especially the part listed as peeves….(grumbles about wanna be dictators)

So some have been asking for an official Naruto in the story. Well he will come in probably within the next 5 chapters. Right now he is on his trip with Jiriaya in say the last 3 months before he returns. I wanted to focus on Minato and his part in this story first.

Anyway because I just can not post all this as is more just a note then a chapter you are in luck I will write another chapter. (just bear with me Parallel is demanding attention)

The next day…

Having demanded Kakashi to leave his room after what he found out last night, Minato was still not in a good mood. His son, had to have gone through hell despite what he wished. He had a lot of questions he wants to ask certain people, before he beats them into oblivion. His mind occupied with plans on what to do with these people he thought of as close, he does not notice as a certain older blonde comes in.

Her arms crossed as she looks at him, she closes the door and activates a security seal.

"Before you wonder, I can read lips as well." Tsunade states with a raised eyebrow and maybe a hint of anger herself. "What the hell psst you off last night. I have reports coming in about a surge that scared the shit out of people. The Aburame and Inuzuka were talking about the malicious intent in it all morning to me. The bugs nearly died and the ninken would not come out of their kennels, So once again, who or what made you angry?!" She said calmly but barely controlled, "You know how much paperwork I am going to have to do?"

Not feeling one bit sorry, the blonde man just glared in equal anger. Why the hell did no one look after my son?!

Her eyes looking at him, she sighs as she shakes her head. "So it is about Naruto huh?" She stated as she places a hand on her hip. "I read the gaki's files, after the incident with the Uchiha. He was not treated well."

No shit

Raising an eyebrow she promptly went over and gently (for her) Knocked the former Hokage upside the head. "Language Minato I get enough of it from your son. Especially when he calls me Baa-chan." She growled out. A fond look on her face though as he was about to say something not very nice, he hushed up as he noticed. The way the Slug Saannin spoke of Naruto was enough to make him smile.

You like him don't you?

"Yes I like the knucklehead." She replied. "He looks like you but takes after Kushina with his loudness."

That's good to know. But where the hell was Jiriaya when he was growing up!

His anger returning, Tsunade just answers hi with a quietness that shakes him. "From what I understand he was managing his spy network." She replied. "I read the reports on Naruto, Jiriaya had been paying for his room and monthly allowance. Nothing more."

A growl emanating from his lips, Minato mouthed what Jiriaya was to Naruto. The woman listening, she frowned as she heard about not only the man's lack of being there until recently. Then as he continued on about the Inuzuka head, she understands his anger and rage, The news Kakashi had told him about the people who were chosen to look after the blonde boy, had failed him greatly.

Empathy towards the man who counted on these same people to raise his son, she couldn't blame him for the intent given off last night. "I see." Her sigh heard, she looked at her friend with a quietness of understanding. "I don't blame you Minato. What Jiriaya and Tsume did was unforgivable." She replies. (she also makes a mental note to never let him see most of the attempts on Naruto's life was from the latter.)

"But right Minato if you release that much chakra as you did in your anger, it could possibly kill you." She glared at him. The nurse who came in not to long after said you were suffering from exhaustion as it was extremely low."

I'm still alive aren't I

"Quit being a smart ass, I can still whip your ass boy." She responded. Her hand held out at him in a fist, he found himself trying to hide in the covers. The woman had been a good friend to him, albeit a little motherly at times. The Toad Sage had not only been his Master, but he had taught Minato how to be the man that he is. At first he got it wrong, as he kept getting beat up, but then he figured it out. He just did the opposite of whatever his teacher did in social situations.

That not only kept him alive, it enhanced him to make many a friend in all the villages. (Except Rock...they were so touchy about that one time still. Not his fault that the battalion got in his way. He was running for his life! He peeped on Kushina accidentally at that time. She killed more then he did!)

Proud as Jiriaya was of him to accomplish his dreams, he wonders why… Why couldn't his former teacher do the one thing he said he would do. Look out for his son. His thoughts drifting off to the youth and his former teacher, Minato found himself thinking of what could be going on now. Which he hopes is not following in the older man's footsteps. If that happened, he could never die.

Kushina would kill him over and over.

Smiling as she had gotten him to think of something else as he got quiet, Tsunade became thoughtful as she looked at him. Albeit clean and still a bit thin, the man needed a good shave and cut. After what happened last night, she was bound to sooner or later give him up to the council and the village. But first she was at least going to make him presentable.

Knowing that there was only one person for the job. Kakashi was not it though. The man before her, hurt and wanting to know about his son's childhood, there was one person who could tell him.

Iruka Umino

The chuunin having been the little gaki's childhood teacher, she knew that the two had bonded like father and son. The brown haired man was not much older then Naruto, but he had taken to the boy. Seeing how the man had stuck to his guns during the Mizuki incident in their files, had made her smile. Even the note written by her sensei was that this man would be best at a certain time to look at for principal of the academy.

But with Minato being back now, this will probably upset the teenager for multiple reasons. The main being when Naruto would find out his own father sealed the Fox in him. That alone was a disaster waiting to happen. She knew that the son has enough bottled up emotions concerning the villagers and Sasuke that he has not let out. And as for the father….last night.

Sighing as she had best prepared, she disabled the security seals and sent in Ino. The Yamanaka girl entering with a cautious smile, the man had turned from his thoughts and gave her a friendly smile. Much reminiscent of his son, who is with Jiriaya. She once again groans as she rubs her temples. Gesturing to an ANBU guard, she gives an order for them to bring Iruka here immediately.

Bowing in acceptance, the figure vanished. It did not take long for his return, with the chuunin puzzled to say the least. Gesturing for him to follow her inside the room, the school teacher dropped his jaw in amazement at what he saw.

With an occasional wince as a former student works his limbs, was the Yondaime Hokage. Even though thin with long hair and something of a scruffy beard, he knew it was him. Turning to Tsunade with confusion, the blonde woman smiled as she had him follow her once again back out in the hall.

"Wha…..How?"

"We have no time for that Umino." She stated. Her voice clearly in Hokage mode, as the to were friends thanks to Naruto, he stood straight as she spoke. "Listen, there is only so much Ino can do for him, but with her help he has gained some movement and can do a few things on his own if given time. After what happened last night, well she will need some help, as now we may not have as much."

Startled to say the least as he listens, he looked startled at that last comment. "That was him?!"

Nodding her head, she could not help but admire the man's calmness as he just looks in awe. Speaking once more, the man is really surprised at the 'mission' she is giving him. "I need you to keep quiet about this until I am ready Umino. But I also want you to help him alongside Ino, I will be sending in Sakura as well shortly. I need the three of you to work with him and get him as ready as possible. The girls will handle his medical side, I need you to be the man side. Help with hair cuts, shaving. But above all Iruka….tell him about his son."

Confusion bright on his features as for a minute he had to think about it, he looks to the man and it him. His favorite knucklehead student in all his years, was the son of Minato Namikaze. The Yondaime of Konoha. "what...why doesn't everyone know?"

"For his safety." She replied. "You know the list of his enemies from the Third war are quite strong. What would they have done if they found out their bane had a son?"

Nodding his head in understanding, Iruka gave a smile of acceptance as he offered his hand. "I will do my best Hokage-sama." The teacher stated proudly. "Good but when you do speak of him, do it when Ino and Sakura is not here." She chuckled. "I know my apprentices, if they find out before I can find a way to tell him. The whole village will know before he does. I am going to try and keep a lid on it but it won't be easy."

Understanding in his gaze as he has taught both girls, he nods his head as she shook it. Seeing her other apprentice, she gestured for Sakura to come forward. Explaining the situation, minus the bit about her teammate. The pink haired girl nods her head and walks in with a smile on her face as she starts doing the same thing Ino was.

With a bow of his head, Tsunade follows Iruka to introduce Minato to the one man who could make a difference between him and Naruto.

You guys got real lucky that a reviewer hit my pet peeve big time. So you got another chapter albeit smaller because it wouldn't be right to just leave a note. Next time though someone tells me I have to do something, I will more then likely do the opposite just to piss you off. I realllly hate it when someone tries to tell me what to do. SOOOO not helping me.
