Chapter 3

Minato Namikaze also know as the Fourth Hokage was sitting at his desk staring at the mountain of paperwork and sighing. If only he had known that becoming Hokage would involve so much paperwork, he might have reconsidered… A knock on the door brought his attention back to the present.

"Come in," he said

Minato smiled as his sensei Jiraiya walked into the room, "How's everything been?"

"Okay," Minato answered, "Just waaay too much paperwork to do."

"How's Nabiki doing?" asked Jiraiya.

"She's fine. She's set to take the chuunin exam soon." Minato replied.

Nabiki was Minato's daughter. She was fourteen years old and the spitting image of her mother Kushina. Unfortunately his wife passed away giving birth to her. Nabiki was the only family Minato had, ever since…

"Really… Time sure does fly." Jiraiya said looking out the window.

"Yeah," said Minato, "It's been almost nine years since…"

"Will you be going to the Uchiha district in two days?" asked Jiraiya.

"Yeah. Nabiki and I always go and pay our respects."

It had been nine years since the "Uchiha Massacre". Itachi Uchiha, prodigy of the Uchiha clan, had become power mad and decided to become a vampire himself to achieve the power he longed for. Minato's only son, Naruto, was best friends with Itachi's younger brother Sasuke. Naruto had been visiting Sasuke when Itachi attacked. No one was spared. Naruto and Sasuke's bodies were never found but many of the remains were brutally disfigured and so there were more than a few people unaccounted for. Not to mention the chance two small boys would've stood against a vampire like Itachi…

Jiraiya stared sadly at his student. After Kushina passed away, Minato had become depressed for quite some time. It was Naruto who had kept the light in his life and given him the courage to move on. Even now, Jiraiya found it hard to believe the bright eyed little boy would never again walk through the doors of the Hokage's office. Never again smile that impish smile of his and say, "What's up Tou-san?" It was funny how much Naruto had looked like Minato. So much so that sometimes Jiraiya would get them mixed up while teaching Naruto just because the two were so similar. Not just in looks, but Naruto behaved almost exactly like his father had at his age.

"Do you mind if I come with you?" Jiraiya asked.

"No. I think Naruto would like that." replied Minato sadly.

Naruto dodged as the white eyed boy charged at him with the stake.

"Who are you and what do you want!" yelled Naruto.

The boy stopped at stared at Naruto, "My name is Neji Hyuuga. I'm a vampire hunter."

"Hyuuga…" said Naruto.

Naruto realized what was happening. Neji must have seen him with Hinata and come to kill him. Naruto's heart sank as he realized that he would have to leave for sure now. There was no way that Neji would keep his secret like Hinata had. Naruto realized too late that his musings had distracted him and he barely dodged Neji's next attack. Naruto winced as a deep cut opened up on his left arm.

"I will not allow you to lead Hinata on anymore." said Neji.

"You're related to Hinata, right?" asked Naruto.

Neji nodded in reply. Naruto knew he could finish this fight quickly but he hated having to resort to killing. Not to mention, this boy was one of Hinata's family. How upset would she be if something happened to him?

Nabiki loosened her headband and changed into her nightgown. Her father was working late again tonight so she was home alone. She looked at the picture she always kept by her bedside. It was a picture of she and Naruto and had been taken only two weeks before the Uchiha Massacre. She remembered even then how he always talked about becoming Hokage one day and surpassing their father. She glanced down at her headband and smiled softly.

"Don't worry Nii-chan. I'll become Hokage one day in your place." she said.

Nabiki slipped into bed after turning off the lights. In only two days, she and her father would make their yearly trip to the abandoned Uchiha district and visit with Naruto. Nabiki always looked forward to it even though she knew it was a painful trip for her father.

The guard to the interrogation compound looked up as he noticed a figure walking hunched over toward the gate. Upon closer inspection, he saw it was Neji Hyuuga carrying someone on his back. Neji stopped at the gate and lowered the person to the ground. He looked up at the guard.

"I've caught one of the vampires who's been hiding in the village." he said

Immediately, the guard called for backup to haul the blonde haired vampire into a holding cell.

"Inform the Hokage that one of the vampires has been captured and is in custody." he said to a fellow hunter.

The hunter ran toward the Hokage Tower with his message.

Author's Note: Wow, this seemed a lot longer when I was going over it in my head. Yes, Naruto's father is alive. In this story there was never a Kyuubi attack so he survived. Nabiki was a name I picked up from Ranma ½ just because I felt she needed a name that started with N. Please, please review with suggestions on what should happen next! And don't worry, you'll find out later how Naruto was captured.
