I do not own Naruto.

So you like Guidance I am really happy that you do. Going on a similar path to the last one. But I think it will be more refined. Just don't quote me on it

Anyway back to this!

Both Sakura and Naruto were grinning as they twirled bells between their fingers. "You have to admit Kakashi-sensei1 We got you good." Said man hiding under a cloud of pain. He shakes himself clear as he holds his book to his chest. Putting it up and in his pocket seconds later, he turns to the two with a quietness that admittedly makes them wonder.

"There is something I have to tell both of you."

"What is it Kakashi-sensei? Naruto asks. The blue eyes of his staring with curiosity almost unnerves the shinobi as it reminds him of his past. These three, including someone long gone, reminded him so much of his own team as a child. Knowing what he knows now, he is full of regret that he did not do more by them both.

"I'm sorry."

Confusion on their features both look at him with puzzled expressions. Listening as he begins to talk about some of the things he had done and not done by them, well they find themselves thoughtful. It is when he starts talking about his past that the two find themselves surprised. His father, being on a team 7 under Minato with Obito and Rin.

And finally of the Kyuubi incident and not being there for the young Naruto in his grief. Each word filled with pain as a confused 15 year old who felt like he just lost everything. The gravity defying man found himself being hugged by said teen and the pinkette in comfort. Letting go it takes a silence between the three of them, before Naruto ends up making them crack a smile with his next sentence.

"Man….and I thought I had issues."

Laughter coming forth from the older shinobi as well as the pinkette, the blonde looks sheepish as his hand scratches the back of his head. "Wha...what did I say?"

Saying nothing and then smiling, Kakashi finds himself putting Naruto in a headlock as he gives him a noogie. The boy struggled and protested much to Sakura's amusement. It almost seemed at that moment if one was to watch as Tsunade was. That Team 7 sans one might have actually started to truly connect.

Knowing full well that there was still much to work out, Kakashi knew that this time, he has a chance to do it right. "Minato-sensei….its a start isn't it."

Aware that his former teacher had been there the whole time, the older man steps out into the open alongside Konohamaru and his gang. The three kids had been assigned to give him a tour of the Konoha now compared to before alongside their teacher Ebisu. The younger man serving a dual purpose as guard for the former Hokage, he and Minato both used this as an excuse to give the trio an impromptu lesson on observation.

Watching how his son moved with Sakura and Kakashi. He made notes here and there to the children as he asked them questions. Thoughtful to say the least, Minato was impressed by the answers the three little genin came up with. Even Ebisu was smiling as all three were beaming as this was one lesson they were enjoying.

Nodding his head in agreement, the elder blonde gave a little smile as his son and friend finally noticed him.

"What the….where'd you come from?" Naruto asked rather abruptly. Earning a smack on the head from Sakura and a lecture about rudeness, MInato finds himself laughing a lil bit as does Kakashi. Their memories are going to that of Obito and RIn. The two had often acted like this and despite everything that happened. This had always made people smile as they could not help the wicked banter between them and Kakashi, with Minato trying to pacify.

Maybe to some, the new team 7 reminded them of that happy time. Perhaps that is why in the beginning, they protested as many villagers admitted to Minato. But the fact that the other2 would coax out the Uchiha, who made the blonde work. And the blonde helping the pink haired girl get the drive and passion to make herself even better.

Many stopped protesting and some specifically requested the newly minted team. Mostly for entertainment. Watching them do the work and bicker and fight….well it was hilarious to them. But they also knew that the three would get it done.

"Not too long ago," Minato answered. "I wanted to see what you can do." Grinning widely and with pride at the younger blonde, the youth found himself giving his own in return. His blue eyes shining with joy at the approval. "So what do you think?"

"I think you did damned good son. There is always some room for improvement though, as you are a little rough around the edges" He replied. "When we work on what I told you about, I believe you will feel and tell the difference." A smile on his features, Minato continues talking as he gestures for Ebisu and the children to come forth.

Grinning even more so now at the thought of learning more, the younger blonde and Sakura find themselves being pounced upon by the genin trio. Questions are being shot back and forth at them about their trip and what they have done, the two are happy to answer. Watching as his son talks to the little Sarutobi, Minato can not help but be proud. Much like he wished, there are those who truly care for his boy. Others in the town need a lot of work, and maybe a little beat down in his opinion, but yet that will take some time.

"Hey how about we all go to Ichiraku's." Naruto stated. His eyes are bright.. "I haven't been there yet and I am sure old man Teuchi misses me."

"BOSS! BOSS!" Konhamaru hollered. "I got a new jutsu to show you!"

Turning around out of curiosity, Minato watches as the little boy turns himself into a naked sexy woman. Shaking his head though he is startled as Naruto responds.

"That is good Konohamaru but not quite there yet." The blonde who then yelled himself with excitement much to the 8 12 year olds delight. "Let me show you the new and improved Se…."

Before he could prevent anything else from being said Minato watches as an irate Sakura raises her fist and punches Naruto into a large crater. Stomping over there as he and Kakashi watch her go about throttling him for the indecency. The older blonde just looks at his former student who shakes his head in amusement.

"Tsunade?"

Nodding his head. "Sakura is already being called the Second coming, in the bingo books." He chuckled. "And what's bad she hasn't done anything like you or I have to merit it yet save for fits of temper. That usually sends someone flying at least once a day, I do believe Tsunade is proud of her for that."

Laughter coming full force now, Minato finds himself chuckling as the pinkette finally finishes with his son, who seems to be in a daze. Going over with his cane, he offers a hand to his son with a smile on his face. Blue eyes opening and seeing who it was as he shakes himself free. The blonde youth is at first hesitant, but before he could take or do anything.

Minato is prevented as Sakura narrows green eyes at him, that makes him tremble. That full gaze is so familiar and much like Kushina's he straightens up as Naruto stands beside him. The rose haired teenager makes a sound of approval, as still one of the medics assigned to Minato, he was not to over exert himself one bit.

"Naruto…" Minato quietly asked under his breath. Just low enough for his son to hear.

"Yea?"

"She's a lot like your mother…"

"How?" He replied curiously.

"Scary when psst."

"You have no idea." The youth replied as both father and son nodded their heads that they were coming. The small group of men, teens, and children head into the village and Ichiraku's. The small ramen stand had become popular with the current genin and chuunin. It was enjoying a little lull as it was mid afternoon. But as they arrive, the father and daughter team are all smiles as they see who had returned.

"Naruto-kun!" Ayame stated happily as she put what she was doing down. Running around the counter for a moment, she tackles him with a hug as her father smiled indulgently. His own hand out, the older man smiles as Naruto takes it and they do their little handshake.

Turning to the others as they all place their order with his daughter who had sped back around. He looks to the older blonde man with his eyebrow raised for a moment. Studying both blondes for a moment he smiles and gives a lil bow.

"Thank you for what you have done for us years ago Yondaime-san. Your son here has kept me and my daughter company many times."

His eyes widening as he heard what old man Teuchi had said, Naruto was about to say something when Minato speaks up. "No I should be the one who bows to you and your daughter, Ichiraku-san. Iruka had told me much while I was in the hospital about that you done for my son. Especially when no one else would."

The man bowing his head he smiles. "My wife was one who knew who he was."

Confusion evident for a moment, it dawns on Minato who he was talking about. "She was a good woman.: He smiled. "She looked at what was underneath."

"Not quite, Miyako was one who would never hurt a child regardless of who he or she was." Teuchi replied. Ayame taking this moment to interrupt their conversation steps forward for a moment. "Not to mention common sense Dad."

"True True."

Clarifying their conversation, Ayame smiles at Minato with a ramen bowl placed in front of him. "A Naruto special for you and what I mean by common sense, is if he truly was what they called him. Seal or no seal Mom said plainly he would beat the shit out of them. She knows she would if she was him."

"Really?" Minato chuckled.

Nodding her head the young woman replied with a great big smile. "She said point blank that they had to trust what you did, or else why make you the Hokage if they didn't think you could do it?"

Flouncing away, conversation resumes between the former Hokage and the chef. The others in their group were completely unaware of the subject between the blonde man and the chef as they spoke. But their were others that were.

Among the other patrons and those outside the little restaurant, there were those who could and would not believe that Naruto was trouble because of what was in him. Wanting to demand his head still, what stayed their hand was learning though that the youth was their hero's son. About to protest much of what the conversation had been about, it was those last few words that made them think about her words and it troubled them greatly.

Seal or no seal he would have beaten the shit out of them. She said she would if she was him.

Elsewhere

Rumors spreading around of the return of the Yellow Flash, there were those who did not believe. Considering no one has seen or heard from him in the Kyuubi attack that had hit Konoha, many like most of the elemental nations assumed that he was dead. The fact that he was now alive supposedly?

Well it was a joke to them as they figure it is just rumors and that's all.

But to that select few who knew for a fact. It spoke volumes of trouble for their plans.

To a old ninja within Konoha itself, his manipulation of clans and beliefs was definitely being halted as now he had to calculate Minato's influence on them Wanting control by use of his ROOT instead of the ANBU or other shinobi who he felt were inferior was now in danger. Some of his little side experiments were put on hold. For if the former Hokage found out….there would be nothing short of armageddon that would keep Minato from killing him.

In another village called Sound, there were a select few who simply altered what they had in store.

To a snake it knew it would have to take a certain body to handle Minato. Even he, despite his power, would be unable to completely destroy the famed Yellow Flash. And being one of the few who knew that the Fox child was his son. He knew that his issue with that body would grow exponentially.

Considering said body was the younger's former teammate and supposed best friend that the body must kill. Which would be problematic for if the son died, the father would and could decimate everyone around him in a heartbeat. It just meant he would have to handle things a bit differently now and as a Nara would say...troublesome.

But to a certain group….well it mattered not. The Biju will still be theirs. They just had one more person that they must kill and that is all. For one of them….it was almost personal.

Okay I figured by now get the mention of villains that will be involved from the series you know the three biggies. Danzo, Orichimaru, and of course the Akatsuki.
