Hello! I haven't update ever since ^_^ anyway here is a another chapter so please review.

I tell you the result at the end..

Chapter 4. The Good times and The Bad Times.

He switched the machine on and let the clothes wash. He left Naruto staring at the machine in awe. He walked into the kitchen and yanked open the refrigerator. The moment he did so, a wave of noxious fumes hit him. He grimaced and put his sleeve over his nose and mouth. He grabbed another rubbish bag and swept the contents of the fridge into it before tying it up and throwing it into the rubbish chute. "Naruto, I'm going to get some groceries. Do you want to come along?" Minato asked his son, who was still staring at the washing machine. "Sure!" Naruto chirped, bouncing up from his position on the floor and following his father out of the apartment, tugging at his father's sleeve eagerly as the latter locked the door. Minato cast a henge to conceal himself, passing off as a child around 12, wearing a white shirt and beige shorts. His hair was ebony and his eyes were a cheerful bottle green. He took hold of his son's arm and proceeded to drag his son out of the complex and towards the shopping district. "Stay here. I'm going to buy some things okay?" Minato instructed his son, getting an enthusiastic set of nods for an answer. He smiled and let go of his son, turning around to enter the shop.

WITH NARUTO
Naruto was waiting outside the shop for his father when a pair of hands smashed against his mouth and dragged him away from the entrance. He struggled and bit the hand, hearing his captor yelp in pain and surprise as it let go of him. He saw that he was not far from the shop but before he could do anything, a fist collided with his temple, causing him to collapse on the ground. He looked up at his attackers and whimpered as a kunai found a home in his thigh. He looked through the haze of pain and saw a few ninja standing menacingly over him, wielding various weapons, accompanied by many villagers. Naruto looked over to the bystanders who just turned around and walked away as if they were invisible, or joined them in their assault. Naruto closed his eyes and steeled himself for the pain that was to come.

WITH MINATO
Minato was humming and carrying, borderline dragging the shopping basket as he piled it with fruits, vegetables and other things that he felt were necessary. He noticed a stack of charcoal and put that in the basket as well. He looked out the window and saw his son chasing butterflies. He shook his head and chuckled, bringing all the items to the counter. The cashier smiled at him as she scanned all the items, saying, "Well aren't you independent. Not many children get the groceries for their parents. I wish my child was more like you. He just lazes around the house all day. I really worry about him." Minato smiled at the lady and thanked her for her compliment before exiting the store. The moment he did, he sensed the chakra saturating the air. He quickly brought his hands together in a hand seal and yelled, "Kai!" The sight before him caused something within him to snap. His son was curled up on the floor in a tight ball, blood seeping from uncountable wounds, with a mixture of ninja and villagers standing around kicking him to get him to show his vulnerable parts. One of the ninja was running through hand seals he recognized were for Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu.

Minato released the henge ad set down the groceries. He rushed to his son's aid, tackling the ninja and stabbing a tri-pronged kunai into the dirt right beside the attacker's head, his bangs brushing the attacker's face. His eyes were narrowed and menacing, the warm crystal blue orbs colder than ice as killing intent leaked from every fiber of his being. The ninja stared up at the Fourth Hokage, his eyes wide and shaking with fear and shock. His eyes travelled to the side, peeking fearfully at the tri-pronged kunai embedded in the ground next to his head.

"What are you doing attacking him?" Minato snarled angrily at the man he was straddling. The crowd had mainly dispersed, gossiping with others. The news of his return would no doubt spread, but at the moment, he really didn't care.

"Well?" he growled at the man.

"That was the Kyuubi brat. We were just finishing what you started Yondaime-sama. We're just doing what you wanted us to do." The man replied fearfully, panting raggedly.

"He's my son. Why on earth would I want him offend?" Minato asked his voice sweet and false as saccharin. "We didn't know, Yondaime-sama." The ninja squeaked.

"This is pointless. I'm going to talk with Hiruzen." Minato sighed, getting off the ninja and gently picking up his injured son, bringing him to the Hokage Tower, not trusting the hospital staff enough to leave him there.

Minato was very disappointed by the actions of the village he had sacrificed his life for. His son was slathering mucous all over his coat, but he didn't mind. Minato decided to ask Naruto what he thought about the village.

"Naruto," Minato started, his eyes overflowing with concern as he stared down at his son. Naruto looked at his father, his eyes filled with pain, sadness and a bit of anger.

"Yes?" he muttered sadly, clutching his wounded stomach.

"Naruto...What do you think of the Village and the people?" Minato asked, concern written all over his face. At first Naruto didn't understand what his father was talking about, but understanding slowly sparked in his eyes.

He glanced over at the faces carved into the monument and replied serenely, "I don't know why the villagers hate me, but I don't blame them. They must be doing all this for a reason. I don't hate the village, I love it."

Minato gave him smile as he proceeds to look to at the faces of the hokage then walked towards the Hokage manor.
