And we're back! I finished with Chapter 4! There is a time Skip in this chapter, and some Kingdom Hearts Elements finally show up.

I was going to cut this chapter off at about 4,000 words, but then I realized that if this next part was short enough, then I could add it on. So I did.

OmegaDelta: I don't know about OC characters, but he will get some people to help him out. I already have an idea or two on who they will be…Probably not Naruto character though.

Anyways, on with the story!

Scene Change: Insert Place Here

Two Years Later

It has now been two years since the Kyūbi no Kitsune attacked the village. The reconstruction of the village has long since been completed, and the people are enjoying a time of peace.

Despite the initial reservations, nothing bad has happened concerning the new containers of the Kyūbi. In fact, the three children have rapidly endeared themselves to the village. The children of two of the most famous shinobi of the village? And one of them is even the Hokage? It was easy once they got over themselves.

All three of the kids were just little balls of sunshine. It wasn't uncommon for them to be treated with a free item or two when they came into stores with the person with them at the time. The village had even toasted to them on the anniversaries of the Kyūbi attack. The villagers truly had high hopes for them.

Uzumaki-Namikaze Household

"Kaa-chan, Kaa-chan!" A childish voice called out. Kushina who was in the kitchen fixing up some ramen, looked over her shoulder to her three kids who were at the kitchen table.

"Hmm? What is it?" she walked over to the one that spoke, Narumi. She had shoulder length crimson hair, with violet eyes that were lit up with joy. Her outfit consisted of a baby blue dress with the Uzumaki swirl on the back of it. "Have you finished your drawing, sweetheart?" Narumi giggled and nodded, pushing forward the drawing that was on the table in front of her.

"Yeah! Look it!" She demanded.

"You mean, 'Look at it, please?'" Kushina had taken to often correcting her children when they spoke. It was the small things, like grammar and word usage. But they were learning quicker with her doing that.

Narumi smiled brightly and nodded her head eagerly. "Yeah! Look, at, it, please!" She spoke slowly, making sure she got each word. She pushed her drawing forward again, eager for her mother to look at it.

Kushina smiled at her daughter and looked at the drawing. It was a simple drawing with five stick figures. A blond one, three redheads, and a figure that had a mix of blond and red hair. They were each crudely labeled. The blond one had "tou-chan" under it. The tallest redhead had "kaa-chan" under it, while the other two had "Menma" and "me." The last figure had "nii-chan" under it.

Kushina smiled. "This is our family, it looks good!" Narumi, hearing this, was immensely pleased. She giggled.

Kushina was distracted by a second childish voice. "Kaa-chan, me too!" Kushina looked over to see her youngest son pushing forward his own drawing. His crimson hair was in a style that was a copy of Minato's. He had on orange shorts and a black t-shirt. On both of his shoulder was the Uzumaki swirl. Kushina smiled and looked at the new drawing.

There were a bunch of houses, with people walking around outside of them. In the middle was a red building. In the background was a mountain. But the mountain had four faces on it. The four faces had numbers above them ranging from one to four.

Kushina smiled down on her youngest. He looked excited to hear what she had to say about it. "And this is the village? Wow!" She looked between Menma and Narumi. "When did you become such artists? Your kaa-chan wishes she was that good…" The two of them giggled more at this.

"Kaa-chan! Look please!" Having her attention drawn for the third time, Kushina saw that her oldest had finished his drawing as well. Naruto's hair was cut a great deal shorter than his father's. Another difference was that while his hair was predominately blond, he also had some red mixed in. His outfit consisted of black shorts and a white t-shirt with the Uzumaki swirl on the front. He was eagerly waiting for his mother to look at his drawing as well.

Kushina smiled at him before looking down at his drawing. What she saw confused her. It was a door. It was a tall, white double door that was floating in an endless black abyss. It was intricate in design. It had elegant grooves and golden studs in the doors. Both of the two doors had stained glass in them that had a multitude of colors. It seemed to lack a knob or handle. The top of the door frame also had stained glass. In the center of this stained glass piece was a heart.

Although she was highly confused as to what she was looking at, she tried not to let it show on her face. "Naruto-chan…" She began. He looked up at her. "Your kaa-chan is so silly…she doesn't know what this is." Naruto giggled at that. "Can you tell her what this is?"

He nodded eagerly. "A door!" He chirped.

Kushina nodded at this. "A door to what?"

Naruto seemed to consider her words. He turned silent and looked at his drawing. After a moment, he smiled and looked back at her. "A door to the hearts!"

Kushina was growing increasingly confused. A door to the hearts? What did he mean by that? "What do you mean, sweetie?" She didn't want to question him too much, but she was really curious about it. "Your kaa-chan just isn't getting it. Isn't she silly?" He smiled and nodded. "Can you help her understand, please?"

He nodded eagerly and took up a thoughtful expression, as if trying to figure out how he was going to explain it to her. Kushina waited patiently, but grew concerned as the moment of contemplation continued to grow. Eventually, Naruto started to look confused as well. He looked up at her and spoke something he did not quite expect.

"I don't know, kaa-chan…" This surprised her as she figured that he would have some idea behind why this door led to hearts.

"Ok, then where did you get the idea for this door, Naruto-chan?" She questioned.

Naruto seemed to think about it before he smiled upon remembering where it came to him. "A dream! I see it in Dream from last night! There was this door, and it was surrounded by a bunch of hearts. Like a bunch, bunch!" He made gestures with his arms to get his point across on just how many hearts there were.

Kushina nodded her head at this. It made sense after all. The mind of a two year old is bound to be an active place. He probably has had a bunch of dreams that were far out there. She smiled. "Oh! That makes sense-ttebane. Well, it is still a good drawing." She smiled brighter as he seemed pleased at her praise. She looked at her three children. "Well how about we put them on the fridge-ttebane?"

They smiled and ran after her as she walked over to the fridge. They even cheered when she stuck them on with the magnets. She turned and smiled at them. "Ok, who wants ramen?" She already knew the answer to this question. She and Minato had decided to introduce their kids to ramen a few weeks ago. They had instantly taken to it as if it was the best food in the world.

"Me!"

"No me!"

"I do!"

She laughed at this and ushered them back over to the table. The ramen was just about done.

Later that Day

Minato appeared in a yellow flash in the living room. He was dead tired after that long day of paper work but a lot of his fatigue left him when he saw who else was in the room. The kids who were playing a game nearby on the floor looked up when they saw this and ran over to greet him.

"Tou-chan!" The three of them tackled his legs, and despite the size difference, it actually took some effort to stay standing.

"Hey there, you three." Minato smiled down at them. "How are you doing?"

Menma immediately replied. "Good!"

Narumi quickly followed his example. "Good, tou-chan!"

Minato smiled at hearing this. Not hearing an answer from his oldest child, Minato turned to him. "And you, Naruto-kun, how was your day?" he questioned.

Naruto smiled up at him. "Good! Kaa-chan was silly!" He giggled at the remembering the earlier event.

Minato chuckled to himself, thinking that Kushina was clumsy for a bit or something similar. "Oh, was she now?" Naruto nodded his head. "And how was she silly?"

Naruto's answer slightly surprised him. "Cuz she didn't get my drawing!" He giggled some more at the thought. How silly that was of her!

Minato was now very amused. "Oh, that is silly of her!" He smiled down at his children. "Ok, kids. I think your mother is nearly finished up with dinner. Why don't you three go wash up?" They nodded and quickly ran off.

Minato chuckled at their eagerness before heading over to the kitchen to greet his wife. He found her humming to herself while at the stove. For a moment, he entertained the thought of scaring her. Then he remembered two things. First, she was a shinobi. Second, she would be furious at him for doing so. Deciding to value his continued existence, he announced his presence. "I'm home." He said.

She turned her head and smiled at him. "Welcome back." She said.

He nodded at her with a smile. "How was your day?"

She smiled and shrugged. "Pretty good. I'm starting to get a little restless though. I think I'll take a mission to get out for a bit soon. Nothing big, a B rank should do…" He nodded. That was normal for shinobi who were still fit for duty. They eventually grow semi-restless and request some sort of mission to get out for a while. "I will probably get Kakashi-kun or someone to watch the kids for a bit…"

Minato nodded again. He wished he could get out there on a mission. 'But if I leave for even an hour, the paperwork will multiply…' he shivered at the thought. It was then that he remembered what Naruto had told him. "So you had trouble understanding a drawing made by a two year old?" he asked her with a smirk.

Kushina threw him an unimpressed look. "Well, why don't you tell me what you think it is?" She pointed at the fridge. "Go on, they are all on the fridge."

Minato walked over to the drawings. He smiled at what he saw. They were each labeled with their names so they would know who drew what. He looked at each of them, smiling all the while. But his smile froze when he got to the third one. Slowly, it turned into a confused frown. "A door?"

Kushina walked up next to him. "Yeah, that stumped me as well."

Minato looked back to her. "A door to what?" he questioned.

"He said it was a 'door to the hearts.'" He threw her a confused look.

"What does that mean?" How does a door lead to the hearts?

"I'm not sure…He said that it came to him in a dream so there probably isn't that much to look into. Just the overactive imagination of a two year old-ttebane."

Minato agreed with this logic. "Well, did they he at least have fun drawing it?"

Kushina smiled. "Yeah. All three of them had fun with drawing. They will probably begin asking me for the art supplies more often."

Minato smiled as well. "If this was his first drawing, I wonder what else he will come up with…"

Kushina shrugged. "Who knows? He probably start drawing things like the family and village like the other two soon."

Two Months Later

Kushina was now growing slightly worried. As she had expected, Naruto, Narumi, and Menma had begun to ask her for the art supplies more often following the first time two months ago.

Since then, Narumi and Menma have made many drawings. Sometimes they drew the something they already had, like the family or village. But other times they drew something new like a forest with animals in it. That wasn't what had her worried though.

It was Naruto.

Since the first drawing he made, he was the one who asked her for the art supplies the most often. The thing that worried her was that he had yet to draw something that was similar to his siblings. All of his drawings were things that he said came to him in dreams.

At first, he only drew that same white door that he drew at first. But recently, he has started drawing three people. The same three people. He drew them in various situations, but it was always them. Because he was only two, his drawings were still crude, but she knew they were the same people every time. She even asked him.

The first one was a young woman with blue hair that went down to her shoulders. She wore a black, sliver, and blue outfit with silver and black shoes. Although she had silver sleeves, she was missing shoulders in her outfit. When asked who she was, Naruto gained a thoughtful look before smiling and claiming she was "water."

The next person was a tall teenage guy with dark brown hair. The top half of his outfit was a black shirt with a red x on it. He wore some kind of armor on his left shoulder and a black gauntlet on the left hand. The bottom half of his outfit was slightly unusual when compared to the rest of his outfit. They were a sandy colored hakama pants. He also wore black and gold shoes. When questioned, Naruto would say he was "earth."

The last was a boy with blond hair. At first, Kushina had thought that it was Minato, but then she noticed the color was more of a blondish-brown. His outfit was predominately made of variants of black and white. The right side of his shirt was white, while the top left part was black. His pants started off as a dark grey, before turning into a silver color, then it turned white, and finished with black. His shoes were a mix of gold, blueish-silver, and black. There was some kind of ornament on his left shoulder. Naruto said this was "wind."

Naruto still liked to draw the door a lot, but these three were beginning to show up more often. The thing that confused her though was what they were doing in some of the pictures. Sometimes they were simply relaxing, other times they were holding colored stars. The colors were always the same too. They were orange, green and blue. But the last one really confused her. They were holding giant keys. And they were fighting with them!

What kind of weapon was a key? Could a key even do damage? When she brought this up, asking if a sword would be better, Naruto gained a confused look again. It was if he knew she was right, but this made sense too, which he couldn't understand.

And then there were the things that they were fighting. They were fighting these strange creatures that all had the same symbol on them.

She was growing increasingly nervous as Naruto seemed to be obsessing over the things in his drawings. And he always said that they came to him in dreams, but where did the dreams come from? It got so bad that she went to talk with Minato about it. In fact, that's what she was doing right at that moment.

Uzumaki-Namikaze Dining Room

The two of them were in their dining room, Naruto's drawings spread around the table. Kushina started the conversation. "I'm starting to get really worried-ttebane…I mean, what could be causing all this?" It didn't make any sense. He does everything with his siblings, so whatever he encountered, so have they, but they haven't drawn anything like this. "Do you think it could be the Kyūbi's soul causing this? I don't think it is, but what do you think?"

Minato shook his head before he answered. "No, I don't think it is either. Plus, what would the Kyūbi get out of this? Causing us stress?" He quirked a small smile at the thought of stress being the Kyūbi's form of revenge on them.

Kushina smiled a bit before continuing. "What do you think…of taking him to see Inoichi-san?"

Minato looked surprised at the thought before considering it. "You think he could figure it out?"

Kushina hesitantly nodded her head. "Yeah, he can do mental evaluations for just about anyone…he doesn't normally do two year olds, but I'm sure he can do it."

Minato thought about it. "Yeah…he probably could…will you take him?"

"Yeah, I have some free time tomorrow… I will do it then."

Yamanaka Flower Shop (The Next Day)

It was the day after her talk with Minato, and Kushina was now leading Naruto into Inoichi's home.

"Welcome!" A voice called. Looking over to the counter, Kushina saw a woman around her age that had brown hair and pupil-less light brown eyes. Her hair was tied into a bun with a red ribbon. She was wearing a dark teal dress with an aquamarine gem below the collar. This was Sachi Yamanaka, Inoichi's wife.

Kushina smiled and greeted the woman. "Hi, Sachi-san, we are just here because I wanted Inoichi-san to see Naruto. We talked about it before?" The end was phrased as a question to see if she knew about the meeting.

Sachi smiled and gestured towards the door that lead towards the home part of the building. "Yes, I heard about that, he should be in the dining room right now. Go ahead and enter."

Kushina nodded her head with a smile. "Thank you." With that, they headed in.

The dining room was an elegant room that had a long table with enough seats to fit at least ten people and a chandelier hanging from above. Sitting in one of the chairs near the center of the table was Inoichi who was looking over some photos he had out. At the sound of them entering, he looked up and smiled at them.

Gesturing towards the seat in front of him he spoke up. "Welcome, Kushina-san, Naruto-kun. Kushina-san, did you bring the drawings like I requested?"

She took them out of the bag she had brought along. "Yes, they are right here." She handed them over to him.

He took a minute to look through them. "Hmm…yes, I see what you mean…Ok, are you ready to get started now?"

Kushina nodded and looked down at Naruto, who until then had remained silent as the adults were talking. She got his attention. "Naruto-chan…" He looked up at her. "Inoichi-san here wants to ask you some questions. They are just some things about your drawings and the dreams you have been having, ok?" He nodded his head with a smile, excited to talk about his drawings again.

Inoichi started the session. "Ok, Naruto-kun, your mother has been telling me that you have been drawing a lot lately, is that right?"

Naruto smiled brightly at the man. "Yeah!"

Inoichi smiled back at hearing his enthusiasm. "She even brought some of your drawings for me to look at, do you mind if I ask you some questions about them?" He requested.

Naruto shook his head. "That's ok…"

Inoichi nodded and reached for the first drawing. It was the very first drawing that Naruto made. "Can you tell me what this is?"

"It's a door!" Naruto giggled at the silly question causing Inoichi to smile.

"Ok, but a door to what?"

Naruto was used to this question by now. "A door to the hearts!"

Inoichi quirked an eyebrow at this. "But Naruto-kun, how does a door lead to hearts? Shouldn't is be to a room? Or a place? And why hearts?"

Naruto pondered this a bit. His expression getting more and more scrunched up as he thought. If it wasn't something she wanted the answer to, Kushina would have cooed and hugged him right there for being so cute. "I don't know…but it is!" Naruto was adamant at that point.

The conviction in his tone set Inoichi aback a little. "Well, if you're sure…" Naruto nodded. Of course he was! "…then what about this?" He brought forth a picture of the three people. In this one, they were holding the stars.

Naruto quickly proclaimed what this drawing was. "It's water, earth and wind!"

This made Inoichi raise an eyebrow again. "Like the elements? Are they jutsu?" He asked.

Naruto rapidly shook his head in response to this question. "No! They're people! How a person be a jutsu?" That couldn't happen!

Inoichi nodded again. "Ok, then what are they holding? They look like stars, are they?"

Naruto scrunched up his face in thought again. "They help find your way." He explained.

This made Inoichi pause. "So…they use them when they get lost?" Naruto nodded. "Ok, would you two mind giving me a few minutes, I need to prepare for the next part." After getting the consent, Inoichi gathered the drawings and left to the next room over.

When he returned, it was with a bundle of drawings and photos. "Ok Naruto-kun, I am going to show you some pictures. Some will be drawings, some will be photos. A couple will even be your own drawings. I want you to tell me the first thing that comes to your mind. Ok?"

Naruto nodded again. He was eager to start, this sounded like a game!

"Then let's start. What do you think when you see this?" He held up a picture of a door.

"A door." That's what it was, right? Was there another answer to that?

"What about this one?" He held up a drawing. It was a drawing of the door Naruto made, but by Inoichi. He had just made it in the other room.

"A door to the hearts!"

Inoichi didn't look surprised to hear this. "And this?" He held up a drawing of a door again. But it was just a normal white door.

"Another door." What was special about it?

Inoichi nodded yet again. "This one is next." He held up a drawing of a green star.

"The thing that helps you find your way."

"This?" A picture of a star in the night sky.

"A dot? Oh! A star!" That was close, he almost lost the game.

10 Minutes Later

"Ok, Naruto-kun we are done now. Why don't you go play with my daughter, Ino-chan? She is in the next room.

"Ok!" He was excited to get a new playmate. He quickly ran off into the next room. When he was gone, Inoichi turned to Kushina.

"I see what you meant, he is slightly obsessed with those drawings…"

Kushina agreed. "Yes. Were you able to figure anything out from that?" She would like to hear his input on the entire thing. She couldn't figure it out.

"While I would have like to enter his mind to view these dreams directly, I can't because that would run the risk of coming across the Kyūbi…So I am forced to rely on whatever I can gather." Kushina nodded at this, the risk of entering a jinchuriki was too high when it comes to the mind. While Naruto may not have the chakra, the soul is the dangerous part when it comes to this.

"While I am not 100% sure if it was an outside stimulus that started it all, I am fairly certain that it is simply the over active imagination of a two year old. It should pass with time. If you really want him to stop thinking about such things, then you should keep him busy with other things. Have him play with kids, tire him out, request specific drawings, it should all stop after a while. I've seen this before, in adults as well. It all passes given the time."

Kushina was visibly relieved at this. She nodded. "Ok-ttebane. Anything else?"

Later that Day

Minato and Kushina were sitting at the dining room table again. "So he said it should pass?" Minato was asking her how the session with Inoichi had gone.

"Yeah, he said that eventually, he should grow out of it. And that, if we were really worried, we should keep him preoccupied with other things." This really was a load off of Kushina's mind. She didn't want Naruto obsessing over such things.

Minato relaxed as well. While it hadn't been getting to him as much as it had been for Kushina, it still made him a bit nervous how fixated his oldest son was on these drawings. "Well, let's give Naruto-kun a little bit longer before we start dumping activities on him." Kushina agreed. "*sigh* I still can't believe our kids are already two years old… It seems like just yesterday they were only two months old…"

Kushina giggled at this. "You make it sound like we're already old people-ttebane…"

Minato was indignant at this. He wasn't old! "We are not old! I'm just saying Tsunade-sama was right. Time really did seem to fly by.

Kushina got up and gave him a kiss on the cheek as she walked by. "Watch, time will seem to fly by again soon, and another two years will have suddenly passed…"

Minato sighed at the thought. "I sure hope not…time is passing too quickly." He got up and followed after her.

Two Years Later

It has been two years since Kushina took Naruto to get a mental evaluation with Inoichi and four years since the Kyūbi attacked. Just like Inoichi had said, Naruto soon stopped drawing things like white doors that led to hearts and people named after the elements. Kushina was relieved that it had ended so simply. Not that she didn't trust Inoichi's word, but she still worried about it.

Minato had finally got a break from the office, and after leaving the kids with Kakashi, he took Kushina out into the village. Upon leaving the house, he asked her where she wanted to eat. Being the Hokage came with some perks. Reservations in the places around the village were never needed. That's how the two of them wound up at…

Ichiraku Ramen

"Ramen, Kushina-chan? Really? Out of all the places we could have gone. You chose ramen. You know how rare it is for me to get a break in all of the paperwork I am constantly doing!" Minato was both amused and exasperated with his wife. She would do something like this…

"Whatever-ttebane! Ramen is awesome! This is the perfect place to bring a date. Naruto-chan and Menma-chan better take this as a lesson and bring a girl here when they start dating!" She was adamantly defending her decision.

The two of them walked into the ramen stand. Upon seeing the man behind the counter, Kushina called out "Teuchi! Hey there-ttebane!" She smiled over at the friendly ramen chef.

He grinned back. "Kushina! Minato! Welcome! You two on a date?" Upon seeing their nods he continued. "Well, I'm flattered you would come here, but really Minato? Ramen for a date?" He shook his head. "You're the Hokage! You should have had plenty of options!"

Kushina blushed at this. "Actually" she started, getting his attention. "…it was me. I wanted to come here-ttebane." She rubbed her head sheepishly.

Teuchi laughed at this. "I should have known! Ayame, take their orders, please." He turned back to the pot he was working on.

A little girl with brown hair walked up to them. She had on a child version of the uniform that Teuchi had on. "Umm…Hello! Welcome to Ichiraku Ramen...um, what comes next?" She seemed to hesitate a bit. "Oh yeah. Um, what would you like to order?" She questioned them.

Kushina practically fell in love with her. She was only just holding herself back from hugging the girl to death. Or maybe it was Minato holding her back with the hand on her shoulder? Minato was the one to respond. "We will both have a bowl of miso ramen, please." The girl nodded at this and went off to inform her father.

Minato turned to his wife. "If you had randomly hugged her, she would have been scared to death."

Kushina sighed at this, but relented. "I know, I know…our kids are cuter anyways…"

Minato smiled at this. It really was amazing how much they have grown. And they're only four! Time really seemed to fly when you didn't pay attention. Soon they would be off to the academy. Speaking of which…

"When do you think we should start training them?" He asked her.

Kushina looked slightly surprised at this question, but she then took on a thoughtful look. "I don't know-ttebane…We aren't in a time of war…but we should begin before the academy in two years…But not now…that means…" She trailed off.

Minato nodded. "In a year then?" Age five was a good age to start. The chakra coils have developed enough to begin training, not that they would start with chakra work right away.

Kushina added on to that. "And we need to decide when we will start Narumi-chan and Menma-chan on their training with the Kyūbi chakra. Not right away, of course."

This made sense to Minato. "Well, we can decide during the training. That isn't as important right now. They need the basics first."

"The Ramen is ready!" And indeed, the ramen was served to them just then. Kushina took on an excited look as she took her first bite.

"Delicious-ttebane! It feels like it has been forever since I had some of your ramen Teuchi!" She could make really good ramen, but it always tasted better here for some reason. But that was just her, the rest of the family liked her ramen better.

As Minato and Kushina dug in, they never noticed the man who left the stall…

Unknown Location

In a secret facility, somewhere in Konoha, there was a meeting going on.

"So they are planning the training now?"

"Yes."

"They did not give a specific time when they will start?"

"No"

"No matter, I can make this fit my plans…"

Hokage's Office (One Month Later)

Minato was sitting in his office, working on the endless pile of paperwork. He had been working on this pile for a few hours now, and it was nearly time to go home.

'This never ends…Why is it that whenever I turn around, a new pile is added to the one I already have…A good fire jutsu woul-' POOF!

His thoughts were interrupted by an explosion of smoke in the center of the room. Immediately, Minato and his guards sprang into action, surrounding the intruder.

They let their guards drop when a familiar voice broke the silence. "Never fear! Jiraiya-sama is here!" And indeed, the smoke cleared to show the form of the toad sannin.

Minato sighed and pinched his nose. He then gestured for the ANBU guards to stand down. "Jiraiya-sensei, must you always do this?"

Jiraiya scratched the back of his head in a sheepish manner. "Sorry, brat. Couldn't help it."

Minato decided to just move on before he got a headache. "Fine, fine. What are you here for?"

Jiraiya quickly turned serious. "I need you to clear the office first."

This surprised Minato. Jiraiya has returned with sensitive information in the past, but hasn't asked for the office to be cleared in a long time. Something big must have happened. He quickly turned serious as well. He signaled for the hidden guards to leave the room.

Once the guards left, Jiraiya turned back to Minato. "The toads recently reverse-summoned me."

That was unusual, Minato noted. The toads don't normally wish to reverse-summon the summoner unless something that could change many future decisions happened and they need to bring it to his or her attention. "What did they want?" He asked.

Jiraiya seemed to pause, as if thinking. "You remember the prophecy I told you about? The one concerning the child of prophecy? A second prophecy relating to that one has been foretold."

This immediately grabbed Minato's full and undivided attention. "The one concerning the fate of the world?" Seeing his teacher's nod, Minato continued. "What did it say?" Jiraiya took a breath.

"The worlds shall soon be brought,

Into an ancient battle that must be fought.

And when it seems like the final hour is near,

Only the heart can persevere.

But alas, alone the heart will fall.

However with the chosen, it shall stand tall.

When light and dark come together as one,

That is when the war shall be won."

They sat in silence for a while, pondering the prophecy. Minato eventually broke the silence. "You have had more time to sit on this than I have, what do you think?" Minato had an idea, but he wanted to hear his opinion.

"I think that it is talking about Narumi and Menma. 'Light and Dark,' Yin and Yang. They are synonymous in a way." After spending hours dedicated to this, Jiraiya had come up with this outcome.

Minato nodded. "And as for the battle…The man that attacked that night four years ago claimed to be Madara Uchiha. I don't know if I would call it ancient…but the prophecy could be referring to his fight with Konoha. And the heart…that could be the will of fire? It has often been said that everyone here has the will of fire in heart." That was always a possibility.

Jiraiya agreed with this. "But…it said 'worlds,' as in more than one…what does that mean?"

Minato shook his head. "I have no idea…the other villages maybe?"

Jiraiya nodded. "Possibly…but anyways you know what this means, right? We need to take the training of your kids a lot more seriously."

Minato took a moment to think. Eventually, he opened his mouth. "I would like to get Kushina-chan, Tsunade-sama, and Kakashi in here. They each are going to take part in the training."

30 Minutes Later

The requested group had now made it into the office and spent the last few minutes being caught up on what happened.

Kushina was slightly distressed. She didn't want her babies to have to fight in that kind of thing! "I don't like this, one bit-ttebane! Why does it have to be our kids?!"

Minato was also slightly depressed at the idea. He has been trying to find another way, one that didn't push everything onto Narumi and Menma. "Sensei, are we sure that we translated this correctly?"

Jiraiya sighed. "I think so brat…What else could it mean?" He looked over to his student. "The best we could do is start training them. Maybe around their fifth birthday? Narumi and Menma will need it."

It was then that Tsunade chose to speak up. "Aren't you forgetting something? What about Naruto?"

Jiraiya attempted to placate his old teammate. "Don't worry about it, I haven't forgotten him. He will be right there with the other two, learning alongside them both.

Tsunade nodded, and opened her mouth to speak again. But before she could, there was a knock on the door.

Minato sent an annoyed look at it before allowing the person in. "Enter."

Unknown Location

"The plan has been set. Checkup periodically on them. Report back to me when you do."

"Yes, sir."

"Good. You're dismissed." The sound of a body flicker filled the room.

'Now everything will begin to fall into place.' Bandages were taken off to be changed, revealing a lone sharingan.

Extra: The Birth of a Pervert (Part 2)

A certain teenager was sneaking from building to building, trying to get back home without being seen.

'Ok, Hatake…this is the most dangerous mission you have taken, and it is more dangerous than any mission you will take.'

He ducked into a stall selling sweets when he saw a shinobi coming from the other direction. While he ignored the angry shop owner, he went over his options.

'Rooftops are not an option, too easy to be seen. Can't use the body flicker, too far…Only option is to use stealth.' He looked both ways before ducking out of the stall and making a break for the next street. If he could just-

"YOSH! IS THAT MY HIP RIVAL I SEE?!"

'Of all the times…'

Kakashi turned around to look at the annoying teen in front of him. 'You and your stupid challenges. Ruining my stupid day, every time. Why can't you just, for once, see me and not make a scene? Kakashi glanced around. Indeed, they were now the center of attention for everyone on the street. It was now impossible to get away without being seen. The civilians weren't a problem. The problem were the shinobi in the crowd as well.

'I'm in danger of being exposed here. If they catch me with this book, then my reputation is finished…' Indeed, Kakashi had bought Make out Paradise: Volume 1, despite his initial reluctance to. He had already paid by the time he had noticed, and he didn't want to say, "No, I didn't mean to buy this."

'That cashier wouldn't believe me if I did. It would only sound like I was in denial or trying to hide it like a closet pervert or something…'

So, with his only option to save his dignity being the vacating of the store, Kakashi did just that. It was then that Kakashi noticed Gai was still yelling at the top of his lungs about something.

"Hm? Did you say something?"

This instantly made Gai stop talking. He looked frustrated.

"OH, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, KAKASHI! YOUR HIP ATTITUDE GOT THE BEST OF YOU, YET AGAIN! A YOUTHFUL CHALLENGE SHOULD HELP YOU WITH THAT!"

"Ah, no I don-"

"I WON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER! LET US BE OFF!"

With that, Gai grabbed Kakashi and sped off.

'Damn it…'

I have no idea how fast a person develops. So I did what I have gathered from some other stories. Don't know if is right, but it's what I've got.

Things are starting to pick up now.

Not sure how well it came across, but the door was the Door to Darkness from Kingdom Hearts. The three people were Aqua, Terra, and Ventus.

That prophecy was both easy and annoying to write. Easy for how quickly I was able to write it, annoying because I wanted it to rhyme. It is no haiku masterpiece…but I like it.

Another time skip in the next chapter.
