Hello everybody my name is Trevyler and welcome back to How I Met Your Mother. Since last chapter was a flashback, this one will be back in the present with them discussing what happened in the last chapter. Now Kakashi would pretty much is in the same boat as Naruto for some of these stories as he wasn't there for these earlier ones. Young Kakashi will still appear later just not yet. Anyway, let's get started.
CHAPTER 3:THAT'S IT?
Naruto looked surprised as his dad finished, "That's it? That's how you guys met?" he asked.
Minato chuckled, "Yeah. I know it's not a great start, but bare with me. There's a lot more to come." he said.
The boy sighed, "Alright." he replied.
Kakashi was oddly quiet. He'd actually never asked much about Minato and Kushina's relationship prior to meeting them. If the topic ever came up, he was probably too busy reading Jiraiya's latest book.
Kushina had brought out some chips and dip while Minato was telling the story. She remembered the day quite well herself.
She smiled, "True. Although I think we can get through it tonight," she paused and shrugged, "Well most of it anyway." she finished.
Naruto hadn't been listening to his mother. He was to distracted by Kakashi's ability to eat with a mask on.
The red head smacked her son lightly upside the head, making him yelp and rub the sore spot.
He shot her an annoyed look, "Alright I'm listening." he shouted.
Jiraiya chuckled, "Hey kid. You were the one who wanted to here this. Besides there's a lot of great parts with me in there too." he stated proudly.
Minato cut in, "Sorry Jiraiya-sensei. This will be about Kushina and I. You can tell your stories another day." he told the old man, an amused look in his eye.
The white haired man mumbled something under his breath that caused Kushina to hit him once again.
Kakashi snickered while Naruto chuckled. Both knew not to get on the woman's bad side but found it humorous when someone else made that mistake.
The elder blonde cleared his throat, "Can we get back to the story now? Any questions of comments anyone would like to make?" he asked.
Naruto looked at his mom, "Hey mom. What were you thinking when that happened?" he inquired.
She paused thoughtfully, "I was was scared, had fallen into a handsome stranger's arms, and wanted to get away as soon as possible." she answered.
Minato grinned, "So I was a handsome stranger then. Good to know." he teased his wife.
Kushina kisses him on the cheek, "Of course. Handsome and creepy as your son will find out." she remarked.
Naruto looked puzzled, "You still told him your name, married him, and had me though." he said.
Kakashi smiled, feeling nostalgic, "Oh that time period I was around for. While annoying at the time it's pretty funny looking back on it." he reminisced.
The older Namikaze had a similar look on his face, "Indeed, but we'll talk about that when we get there." he stated.
Naruto was now interested even more to know what they were talking about, "Alright let's get this story started up again. I wanna hear more!" he exclaimed.
The adults enjoyed his excitement, "Well then let's start again. This next part was about a week later." he started.
And that's the short intermission I guess you could call it. Since there wasn't a lot that happened in the last chapter, at least not involving, Minato and Kushina, there wasn't as much to talk about. I don't want them to start a conversation about work because that doesn't sound like fun to me. I'll try to work on this along side my other Naruto story, Unwanted Arrangement. If you're a NaruSaku fan feel free to check it out. It's just getting started really for both of these so I hope you guys stick around to see more.
On a side note, someone reviewed this story, telling me that I can't do this story since I don't do canon couples. Whoever you are, you apparently don't understand fanfiction. It's whatever you want it to be. You don't have to follow canon otherwise there would be no point. Also I'll be honest that I consider it insulting to Minato every time people say Hinata is like him. She was a creepy stalker who only got the guy she wanted because the author sold out and because of genjutsu guilt tripping. Minato earned Kushina's affection and love. Naruto deserved that too. Instead we got an unnecessary pairing with no development and an abusive relationship with no development. I'll happily keep writing stories like these that me and other people can enjoy. If you don't agree with it then you can get out of here.
Alright. Sorry about that everybody. Have a great night and I'll see you next time.
