Chapter 3
Minato POV
'What a weird bunch of group….' Is what I can think of while watching a pink haired and a blonde females still on one sided argument, a silver haired male who look suspicious with half of his face being hidden with a mask who currently looked like he passed out while standing when he first saw me, a timid dark haired female whom hiding behind a clearly pissed off black ink haired male who keep leaking an intense KI directed toward the blonde female who keeps sprouting out ridiculous excuses to cover up her mistakes by the look of it and then a clearly resigned pineapple hairstyle male who keep sighing and keep muttering the same word over and over as he keeps his eyes on the still bickering group "why I have to be dragged into this?" and somehow I get the feeling that he is the only one that completely sane person of the group that still bickering and didn't even noticed that they being surrounded (that or they just completely ignored us) and I am sure the rest of the anbu think so too.
45 minutes have passed since I questioned their identity and how they managed to intrude the border of Konoha and introduce myself to the pineapple haired male and the rest of the group still bickering and this time the black ink haired male decided join the fray and hitting the blonde and starting a new fight of insults between them. Then next 10 minutes passed and as I planned to interfere to end the never ending insults war, but then the pineapple haired male seems to have enough patients and then he decided to marched forward and hitting both the blonde female and black ink haired male on the head and said "ENOUGH ALREADY! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THREE THINKING BY BICKERING IN THE MIDDLE OF BEING SURROUDED,HUH?! I can understand if its Naruto and Sasuke but…..WHAT THE HELL YOU THINKING BY NOT PAYING ATTENTION TOO…CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT, HARUNO?! AND SNAP UP HATAKE, YOU ARE THE ADULT HERE!" after hear the yell the silver haired started snapped himself up while I started suspicious when the name Hatake being mentioned and the silver haired male responded to it, "I…I…I am sorry" said the pink haired female while bowing her head with remorse who I assume is Haruno and probably Naruto is the blonde female and Sasuke is the black ink haired male who did the same too by bowing their head in remorse while being scolded by the pineapple haired male while the timid girl trying her hardest to pacify the pissed pineapple haired male and after scolding the three bickering people and then focused scolding the silver haired male who for now dubbed as Hatake who also bowing his head as he being scolded by the clearly younger male while the timid girl still trying to pacify the enraged male.
After the pineapple haired male whom finally I learned that his name is Shikamaru done scolding the 3 people whom finally done bickering and the male whom finally snapped from his death like stupor, he then letting himself to be calmed down by the purple haired timid female whom I also learned that her name is Hinata. After letting himself being calmed down for few more seconds, he then letting out a big sigh and then facing me and said while bowing down "Namikaze-san I apologize from these unmannered rude children I hope that you can forgive them for their manner" "it's…okay, you didn't have to bow down and apologize!" I said with flustered manner as I tried making Shikamaru-kun stop bowing down to me and with a nod he than stop bowing down "about your questions earlier I hope that I can finally answering them time without these troublesome 'CHILDREN' disturbing us" said Shikamaru-kun as he put more force on the word 'children' while glaring that the 3 persons who flinched and lowering their head further as they sensing the pissed off aura and growl that coming out from Shikamaru-kun while the timi-Hinata who standing right beside Shikamaru-kun tried calming him down once again which this time a succeed.
With another breathing exercise to calming his nerve down, Shikamaru-kun with much calmer tone than before then said to me "how about we return to your village, I am sure that you rather have this discussion with your village leader to be able to heard it to and I am sure that you will find this discussion interesting and maybe you can help us out with our problem" after a few minutes of thinking I then nod my head and then prompted the group to follow both me and the anbu to Konoha.
During our travel both I and Shikamaru (whom finally told me to drop the honorific as he much younger than me being just 18 years old) fall into a much enjoyed discussion about what kind of village of Konoha is and theory and philosophy of will of fire with Shikamaru always keeping his eyes on the two person whom he tied with a rope after he snapped after the blonde female, Naruto and black ink haired male, Sasuke started to arguing again which is about whose fault that made Shikamaru snapped off (and I impressed with how fast Shikamaru can tied of 2 people and silencing them by gagging them with cloths that he received from the amused anbu after he asked them for something that able to gagged 'THE TWO UNRULY CHILDREN' within 1 minute time and Hinata said that its something he almost always do when he partnered with them when doing missions which made me pity him for he always have to deal with 2 short tempered children to the point he so fast to subduing and gagged them up) and while herding them with a piece of rope that he hold which connected to the rope that tied both Naruto and Sasuke.
After we arrived at the gate of Konoha I then dismissed the anbuu and then led the group to the Hokage tower by myself. As we walked through the streets of Konoha we garnered few weird looks (though mainly toward the two people who still being tied and gagged) but we ignored them and continue forward…and I watched the group who have marveled look especially the silver haired male whom I still suspicious about Shikamaru called him as Hatake as only two people that I know that called Hatake and one of them is my student Kakashi and they don't have any relatives anymore as they died during first half of 2nd great war, the pink haired female that called Haruno and Hinata walked closer to the Hatake while looking around while the two still gagged pair frowned as they look around and only Shikamaru keeping up with my pace with bored look while yawning though I could detect sharp calculation look while he keep walking on his eyes.
As we arrived at the Hokage tower and standing right in front of the Hokage office I then knocked the door and said "excuse me, its me Minato" "come in Minato" said the voice of inside the office and when I opened the door, both Naruto, Sasuke, Haruno, Hatake and Hinata have their eyes wide opened and their jaws dropped opened while Shikamaru starting frowning and his eyes started to flashing varying of expression from surprise, suspicion, calculation, happiness and relief as he saw who sitting behind the desk "now is it these people who entered our border, Minato-kun?" ask the person who sat behind the desk as he blow smoke after he inhaled his smoke pipe, with a nod…I then said while facing the person "yes…they are, Sandaime-sama"
