CHAPTER 4

An: due to a request by a few people, I will be opening a poll on my profile to determine whether or not this story will turn into a harem or not for Naruto. I would appreciate everyone to participate, so you can vote on the poll, leave a review, or pm what you want the story to be. I will continue the story as just a Naruto x Yugito until I have at least 50 votes/reviews/pms telling me what you fans want the story to be.

A now seven year old Naruto smiled at his brother Ay, ever since he was three when they went to Konoha Naruto and Yugito had been spending every other two months in Konoha. Ay and Minato had many other things that they had agreed on when it came to the treaty, but Naruto only understood the main one about him and Yugito having to switch villages every two months.

Today was actually the day that he and Yugito would be heading to Konoha, but Ay wanted to see how far Naruto had gotten in his training since they had started him and Yugito training last year. After he had showed them how to access their chakra, Ay had given the two children chakra paper and the results hadn't at all surprised him.

Yugito's paper had burned to a crisp in an instant, except for a small piece near her hand which had crinkled. Ay told her that it meant she had a strong fire affinity with a weaker lightning one. Next was Naruto, when he had channeled his chakra into the paper a small piece of it got cut off which turned soggy, while the rest scrunched up so tight that the paper was just a small ball in Naruto's hand.

Ay had explained to Naruto that he had a rather even water and air affinity, but he had a very strong lightning affinity. After that a memory that Ay had forgotten about came back to him and made him question things.

-Flashback-

Baby Naruto and Yugito were playing quietly on the floor while Ay did his paperwork and lifted weights. He looked up though when there was a knock on his door. After Ay told the person to enter, his favorite lazy ninja entered.

"here to report in on my successful mission boss." Darui said with an air of aloofness about him. Ay only nodded telling the man to report. Ay sat there quietly and listened to Darui report for several minutes until Darui suddenly stopped. Ay looked up and was about to question him until he saw why Darui had stopped.

Little Naruto had crawled over to him and was grabbing his pant leg, but what caught Ay's attention briefly was Darui holding left shoulder in what looked like both slight pain but also amazement. 'My tattoo that Third gave me is burning, what does it mean.' He thought.

"hey boss, who is this I thought you only adopted Yugito?" Darui questioned. Ay looked back to Darui as he picked Naruto up and started to play with him making the baby giggle. "originally I did, but I was finally able to find a baby that Yugito completely likes, so I adopted the baby there, his name is Naruto and he is my new brother." Ay said.

Darui only looked surprised for a moment before he nodded his head at Ay. He was about to continue his report until he saw Yugito also pulling at his pant leg wanting to be played with. Darui laughed before picking her up and playing with the two kids before finishing his report to Ay.

-End Flashback-

Ay chuckled lightly as he delivered a rather hard punch to Naruto's stomach. "that was good Naruto; you have improved a great deal along with Yugito. Keep training and maybe one of these days you will surpass even me." Ay boasted loudly causing Naruto to smile before he stood up and went to grab his bag from their house.

Once he got inside Naruto saw Yugito waiting in their room for him. "so what did uncle want?" She asked curiously with a slight tilt of her head like a cat. "same thing Niisan wanted from you, he was testing to see how far I had progressed. Are you already packed and ready to go?" He asked.

When Yugito nodded the two just went outside and met up with Darui. He had been the twos escort ever since they were three. Ay had assigned him the job saying it suited him perfectly. Ay was defiantly right, because while he could relax since all he had to do was watch the kids, he was also ready at a moment's notice to protect them from anything.

Darui chuckled to himself as he saw the two come out talking to one another. Having known them since they were basically born, Darui had a strong sense that the two in front of him would not only grow up extremely strong, but he also had a growing bet with almost all of Kumo on when the two would get together.

Ay had a bet of when they 10, Bee's bet was when they were 14, and his bet was 13. There were also several other people in on the bet, and Darui thought it was really funny. But he pushed that thought to the back of his mind as the two were now standing in front of him.

"you two ready to head out?" he asked. When they turned to him and said yes Darui just told them to follow him as they all headed to the gate. Once they reached they gate, they saw several people waiting there for them.

Ay, Bee, Mabui, C, and Dodai were all waiting at the gate for the three. Naruto and Yugito went up to Ay and Bee and hugged the two and told them they would be back soon. Both then went to Mabui and told her to keep an eye on Ay, well Yugito did while Naruto told her to keep piling on the paperwork which made her and everyone else laugh except Ay who groaned.

Naruto and Yugito then high fived C who they had met through Darui since the two were close friends. Finally they made it to Dodai. They had met him several times in the Raikage's office since Ay always had a task for him. Naruto especially liked him since he always gave him rubber to play with.

Once Naruto and Yugito finally finished their goodbyes to everyone they headed off with Darui for Konoha. Over the course of the three day journey Naruto, Yugito, and Darui made small talk about their training and what missions Darui had been on until they finally made it to Konoha's gates.

Waiting for them at the gates was Kushina and Minato along with several other people that the two didn't recognize. Darui who did though was literally stunned speechless. He was used to being around strong ninja since he was around the Raikage and Bee a lot due to Naruto and Yugito.

Not to mention that in Konoha since he always watched over Naruto and Yugito he was quite accustom to Minato and Kushina who were both strong, Kushina was an S-rank ninja after all, and Minato was one of the few men to receive a SS-rank status aside from Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

Standing with them was Tsunade and Jiraiya of the sannin two of the strongest ninja of their generation, the Sandaime Hokage and his wife were there. Even some of the rising stars of Konoha were there like Kakashi Hatake and Itachi and Shisui Uchiha.

Naruto and Yugito having no idea who the people were just ran up to Kushina and Minato and hugged them. Yugito had found a family in Naruto's family, they treated her just like a daughter and she loved that. Minato and Kushina only smiled at the two and returned their hugs.

Naruto turned around noticing that Darui hadn't moved inside with them. "what's wrong Darui, why are you over there?" He questioned. Darui chuckled and put a hand behind his head. "Well Naruto, you see the thing is I don't know who to address first in this situation." Darui said with another chuckle.

All those present laughed with Darui until Minato walked up to him with Naruto on his shoulders. Minato then gently placed a hand on Darui's shoulder and pulled him into the group of high class ninja. Darui while slightly hesitant walked with Minato.

"if it's not too intrusive Hokage-sa-." Minato stopped him in his tracks. "we are amongst friends here, just Minato is fine." He said. Darui breathed a sigh of relief. "right as I was saying, if it's not too intrusive Minato, why are all these high level ninja here?" Darui asked.

Minato chuckled. "well I was finally able to get Tsunade and Jiraiya here to meet their godson, Hiruzen and lady Biwako are here to also meet Naruto. As for Kakashi, he is my student still so I figured he would want to meet his fellow student, as for Itachi and Shisui, well they were with Kakashi when I found him so I invited them as well." Minato replied with a laugh.

When Naruto heard all that he bounced for joy on Minato's shoulders until he was put down, once down Naruto ran to Tsunade and Jiraiya. "wow are you really part of the sannin?" he asked. When they nodded he went and poked Tsunade all over.

"that's so cool, I read all about you guys. You're Tsunade Senju said the be the strongest Kunoichi in the world right now, as well as the best medic. You also summon slugs and are the granddaughter and grandniece of the first and second Hokages." Naruto all but shouted still poking her as if inspecting her.

Tsunade and everyone else laughed at Naruto's excitement when she picked Naruto up. "that is all true do you have any questions, you seem curious?" she asked. When she said that everyone that was close to Naruto paled.

Asking Naruto if he had questions about something he found interesting was like asking for a death wish. Tsunade learned that as Naruto started to rapidly ask her any question he could think of. Tsunade answered all of them with joy though; glad someone wanted to learn about her and her past.

As the group walked towards Minato and Kushina's home Tsunade continued to answer all of Naruto's question until his last one. She along with everyone else looked at Naruto. "Naruto-chan can you say that again?" Tsunade asked with a large smile.

Naruto was also grinning large. "I asked if you could teach me your cool medic abilities. Ay Niisan always says it is good to learn many things from different people, so I thought it would be really cool to learn medical jutsu from the person best at it." Naruto said.

Once Yugito heard that she voiced her opinion. "Me too please Tsunade-sama." Yugito said putting on her best pouting face. Tsunade couldn't help but want to say yes, it wasn't often that she got to teach people; especially those who wanted to learn what she was best at. She wouldn't crack though; it would take more for her than that. All her resolve broke though when she looked back to Naruto. His pouting face was just as bad as Yugito's, except he did this thing were his bottom lip quivered and it was impossible to say no.

Tsunade leaned down and pulled Naruto and Yugito into a hug while she kept saying Kawaii and rubbing her checks against the two while Naruto and Yugito grinned in victory. Once Tsunade stopped hugging them and put the two on her shoulders she spoke. "seeing as you two show such an interest I will teach you, but you must have the utmost patience or I will stop teaching you." She said in a strict voice even though she didn't mean it.

Once the two nodded Tsunade smiled and patted the twos heads as they arrived at Minato's house where they saw Shizune waiting for them. When she asked why Tsunade had two kids on her shoulders, Tsunade just replied that they were now her sibling disciples to which Shizune smile at them.
