Chapter 2: Rules and Consequences

'Why do I always get myself into trouble like this?'

This thought ran through Minato's head as he ran into a burning apartment building. He tried his best to hide his face with a tied cloth around his mouth and his hoodie over his head.

Technically, trying to save someone from this building was illegal. Unless you were a hero, that is. However, while Minato would normally be one to follow the rules, it appeared like the building was too fragile for the nearby heroes to enter. If they waited too much longer, the building would collapse.

Minato, who had trained under Jiraiya, had developed a bit of a hero complex while reading the Sannin's books. That, and he felt that if he was the only one who could help, then he should.

After jumping through an open window, Minato landed in the building and quickly looked around. From what he had heard, there was a few people left in the building.

Before he ran off to go find the people in the building, he grabbed a small palm-sized rock and threw it out behind him. Since he didn't have any of his trademark kunai in this world, he resorted to using rocks. They… served their purpose, but they weren't the ideal. He missed his special Kunai.

After snapping out of his nostalgia, Minato went to accomplish what he had set out to do.

"Can anyone hear me?!" Minato yelled out as he ran out into a hallway.

"Over here!"

"Please help us!"

Several more people called out similar pleas. Minato counted the voices. He could hear around five people in the building. Good, he would have just enough.

Minato ran to where he had heard the first voice. The door was blocked by a flaming pillar.

'Would be really nice to have the water release right about now...' Minato thought, cursing his luck. "Hey, in there! Back away from the door!" Thinking fast, he grabbed a nearby leather chair. He lifted it up, and with a running start threw the heavy chair through the door.

The burning door easy gave way, allowing Minato the chance to get to the elderly couple inside.

"Don't worry, I'm here to save you." As he said that, he pulled out two more stones. "Hold these close and close your eyes."

The elderly couple did as they were told, and Minato activated the seal. The elderly pair vanished, and Minato could hear them coughing outside where he had left the other rock.

Minato could feel himself breathing heavier, but proceeded to where he had heard the other 3 voices.

This time, the people were stuck in the middle of the room, surrounded by burning rubble. Minato made a few handsigns, before he placed his hands on the ground. "Earth style, Floating Stones Jutsu!" (1)

A line of rubble lifted, and was tossed to the sides, creating a path.

The three people quickly rushed to him, and Minato repeated the same process with the three. After they were gone, he felt his legs go slightly weak.

Minato sighed at his weakness. '5% left. Dammit! I miss having my chakra control...'

When Minato had reached adulthood, his chakra control was well beyond Kage level. That's why the Flying Thunder God technique was so powerful when used by him. It was a Jutsu that, when used with near perfect chakra control, cost very little chakra. However, without that chakra control, it was more taxing then even the Shadow Clone Jutsu. (2)

Minato got to his feet. "Hah, at least that was the last one..."

As if those words were cursed, Minato heard a faint noise. The sound of someone coughing from another room entered Minato's ears.

'I just had to say it...' Minato cursed himself as he ran out into the hall. He reached the room where he heard the coughing, and instead of coming up with a smart plan, proceeded to kick the door down. He jumped through the rushing flames that resulted from the sudden flow of air, and patted his shoulder where it had caught fire.

"Hello?! Where are you?" Minato asked as he quickly searched the room.

"H-help..." It was faint, but with chakra enhanced hearing Minato was able to pick it up. Coming from the corner of the room was a girl with black hair tied into a ponytail. The girl seemed to be around Minato's age, meaning she was 14 just like him.

She was half buried under the rubble, but Minato didn't have enough chakra left for another Earth style Jutsu.

Instead, he just steeled himself and started digging her out with his bare hands. Ignoring the burning sensation on his hands, he quickly dug her out. The girl seemed to have a heat resistant cloth between her and the rubble, so she only had some small burns and what appeared to be a broken ankle from the impact of the rubble landing on her.

Minato gave the girl a wondering look, and so she explained. "It's my quirk. It allows me to create things." She was winded, and her voice was breathy, but Minato understood her.

Minato nodded, thinking to himself how amazing an ability it was, and picked up the girl.

It was at that moment when the building collapsed.

Outside the burning building, Kamui Woods felt very outside his element. Literally. Fire and wood didn't mix. What was he supposed to do? If anything, he might make the situation worse.

That's why he was glad to hear from five people that they'd been rescued by a hero wearing a mask around his face. He could avoid a disaster without killing himself in the process.

Well, at least that's what he hoped.

"What are you doing?! My daughter's still in there! You're a pro hero, aren't you?!"

A large man in a suit with silky black hair was yelling at Kamui.

"Mr. Yaoyorozu, there is already a hero in the building dealing with the situation. My quirk being what it is, I'd only impede the situation." Kamui was not having a good day. One of the richest men in Japan had a daughter who was on a 'play date' with one of her friends who just so happened to live in the apartment building. The friend had gotten out, but the daughter was still inside. This situation had 'lawsuit' written all over it.

As if things couldn't get any worse, the building decided to start collapsing at that very moment.

Just as Kamui was about to kiss his career goodbye, a small figure carrying a girl burst out through a window. Reacting quickly, Kamui caught the two with some of his branches and set them down gently in front of them.

The small figure gave out a muffled thanks while the young girl just seemed frozen in fear. Well, anyone would have if someone carrying them had jumped out of the second story window.

Kamui analyzed the figure. He was clearly in casual clothes, not a hero suit, and he appeared to be quite young. There was no way this was a pro hero.

He watched the boy lay the girl in her father's arms, and watched the heartfelt moment as daughter was reunited with father. As the two figure hugged and cried, Kamui realized that the boy was trying to leave. Kamui was grateful, even if the boy wasn't a registered hero, he was just gonna let the boy leave. It was no skin off his back.

However, another hero who had just arrived was not of the same mindset. When Kamui saw the figure of his better, he gave a silent prayer for the boy. Even if he had done a good thing, he had broken a law. And the number 4 hero wasn't one to let people break the rules.

Minato tried to escape in the confusion, but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. Immediately, red lights went off in his head.

"Young man, stop right there. I'm assuming you know of the rule against using your quirk without a license or express permission." Minato looked over his shoulder and saw a man wearing a mask similar to his student's, with a strange hairstyle covering one of his eyes. Minato knew the man as the 4th strongest hero, Edgeshot.

Minato thought through his options. He didn't have enough chakra to use the Flying Thunder God technique, hell he didn't have enough for even a simple earth ninjutsu. He could let himself be captured, but that choice would definitely have it's consequences. So instead, he chose to run.

Pulling out a handmade smoke bomb, he threw it on the ground and tried to run. However, the pro hero was unfazed by this and simply grabbed the boy, throwing him behind his back.

Minato couldn't land on his feet, and instead landed on his back. His hood was knocked off his head, revealing his bright blond hair.

Minato watched as the man got closer and closer. Was he done for? What other options did he have?

The man got closer, and picked the boy up by the front of his hoodie. The kid was a lot heavier than he looked, and Edgeshot was surprised. Maybe it was part of his quirk. The pro felt bad, but he couldn't just turn a blind eye.

"You might have been trying to do a good thing, but you can't just break the law. I think your actions were good. You'll be a great hero someday. But I have to set an example. I'm sorry."

As the hero was about to drag the boy away, he heard the boy mumble something. "Gravity seals, level 0." As the boy said this he suddenly got a lot lighter. He also got a lot faster. The boy pushed as hard as he could, and managed to release the man's grip on his hoodie. Then, before Edgeshot could even react, the boy was running away, already behind him. Sensing this movement, Edgeshot turned to give chase, but then stopped. The boy was fast, and he now had an idea of what the boy looked like. The bright blond hair and blue eyes were pretty unique. He didn't intend to hunt the boy down, but he'd make a report.

Minato breathed in hard as he hid in an alleyway. He had to pump the last of his chakra into his legs, or else he knew he'd be caught. The man hadn't even used his quirk. Even without it, Minato knew that with less than 5% chakra, he'd lose.

Even with all of his chakra, his abilities were limited. He could only use the flying thunder god around six times, he could use the shadow clone Jutsu ten times and he couldn't even use the rasengan without a clone's help. By using chakra to strengthen himself, he could improve his strength ad speed immensely. However, only for about 5 minutes until his tanks reached zero.

It wasn't his reserves. For a 14 year old, his reserves were already around Kage level. It was his control. Since arriving in this new world, Minato noticed that whenever he used a Jutsu, it was like opening a flood gate. It was either no chakra, or way too much. Two years had passed, and he got to the point where he could stand on water, which improved his limits immensely. The problem was getting passed that.

His progress in chakra control had stagnated in the last 18 months, and he hadn't been improving much at all. He's always had good chakra control, since his chakra reserves were normal. However, it seemed that he'd been born in this world with reserves equal to himself as an adult in the other world.

Sounds like a good thing, but he hadn't had his control transferred over. Meaning he had Kage level reserves and Genin level control.

'Naruto, how did you deal with this? You were born with even worse control and more chakra.

Minato returned how, drained and angry at his current strength. When you go from the strongest there is to feeling weak, it took it's toll.

However, Minato had no idea just how strong he was. In just a few years, a certain event would show him his hidden strength, and his power to protect others.

(1) Original Jutsu, D-Rank. A Jutsu with low chakra cost used for clearing away rubble. Despite having low offensive ability, it is still quite a useful Jutsu.

(2) My reasoning behind this is that it took 3 Jonin's combined chakra to use the Jutsu once, yet the Jutsu is said to have a low chakra cost. Unless I'm missing something (and if I am, please tell me so) then I think it must have something to do with chakra control. Minato must have had good chakra control to not only use, but create the Rasengan.

If there are any continuity errors or writing errors, please tell me so I can fix them! Right now, I'm not sure whether or not to pair Minato with Kushina, or with one of the other girls. Tell you what me guys think. MinatoxKushina, but I could easily see MinatoxMomo/ Tsuyu/ Ashido/ Jirou, really the only girl I think I'd have trouble writing a relationship with would be Toru…

Well, give me some suggestions! I really do value your feedback!
