A/N: Okay, thanks for the reviews! So to Start I would like to the pairing situation. I'm honestly not sure what to do. I honestly wasn't thinking on any particular pairing for Naruto. I don't particularly lean toward Yaoi either. ^^(I mean no harm promise XD). The Pairings I like are Naruhina or NaruSaku. Or even more disturbing would be NaruTsunade(lol time travel fics only). I take anything as long as it's not Yaoi(again I mean no harm or offense). Anyway, since Yommama3 requested the pairing first I'll make it Naruhina. As for Guest's doubts about this being a one shot…no it isn't. Okay then, lets start.

Chapter 2: Enter: Minato?

Naruto froze at the mention of the naked man. Sarutobi noticed and dismissed the ANBU, after giving him orders to take the stranger into custody and bring him here, as well as clothing him. Hiruzen glanced at Naruto with a raised brow and shimmer of suspicion in his eyes.

"Is this in some way related to your brief disappearance?" The Third asked while smoking his pipe.

Naruto said nothing for a long while and then nodded. He kept quiet for a few minutes. How was he to tell his grand-father figure that he found a creepy naked man, who claimed to be Naruto's long deceased father? How could he tell the Sandaime that he was scared witless at the man's sudden approach?

"Jiji, " Naruto began taking a deep breath, "therewasasecretentrence-"

"Naruto-kun," interrupted the old man, "explain to me slowly."

Naruto nodded, "I was looking for a place to get away from the village, so I ran to the abandoned training grounds. I found this weird entrance and got into an underground tunnel that led me to a room that led me to this creepy naked man in a test-tube-"

"Naked man in a test-tube?" Sarutobi said incredulously. If Naruto had told him this earlier he would not have believed him. However, the first bit about the civilians he would have believed.

"Yes don't interrupt me dattebayo!" Naruto scolded, "anyway I was in this dark room and I got closer to the giant tube and I touched it and it opened and th-the man…I shook him awake and he…he hugged me and said I was his son! I got scared…there I said it ttebayo!"

Hiruzen was about to respond when the masked ninja from earlier appeared along with the man Naruto had claimed to have seen, this time the clone was clothed. Sarutobi's breath hitched. There, standing in front of him was a ghost. The ghost of a man he thought had been killed in the line of duty. The clone noticed Naruto in a corner and tried to get free from the ANBU's grip.

"Jiji?" Naruto called worriedly.

The Third willed for his breath to return and exhaled a hearty sigh. Hiruzen stared at the blond man carefully. "Who are you?"

The blond gave a polite smile as he finally noticed then old man, "I am Minato." He said simply.

Minato…there was no way this was Minato. Had Orochimaru been behind this? Hiruzen asked himself. The Third certainly didn't put it past the snake-sannin to pull off something like this. Sarutobi had been certain that all of his former student's experiments were discovered and destroyed. At least the non-human ones.

Somewhere else tenzou sneezed.

Sarutobi cleared his throat. His eyes never leaving the man. "That is not possible. Namikaze Minato is dead. He died 7 years ago." The Third said smoking from his pipe in an attempt to get his emotions under control. This whole situation as well as the fact that Naruto was here and would ask questions, was making him nervous.

"I'm Minato. Naruto's Father." The blond man said mechanically, "I would like for the ANBU to let go of me now Hokage-sama."

Further proof that this wasn't Minato. The man was treating Hiruzen like a stranger. An obstacle he had to overcome in order to get somewhere.

"I'm afraid that won't be possible." Hiruzen replied, making the clone's eyes narrow.

"Why is that? He's my flesh and blood. I am sure our DNA is compatible." said the adult blond.

"Jiji! Can you tell me what the heck is going on? Who's Minato Namikaze? Why's that man saying things like that!?" Naruto shouted.

The Hokage ignored Naruto's ramblings, which unnerved the young academy student. Sarutoi's attention remained fixed on Minato. "Well Minato-san…maybe it has to do with the fact that Naruto-kun found you in rather odd circumstances. Until I deem that you are not a threat to this village or Naruto-kun, you will by no means be close to him."

With the speed of cheetah, the clone turned and punched ANBU who held him. Naruto squeaked as the strange man picked him up and threw his body out the window. Other ANBU appeared but the clone quickly hopped onto another roof and darted away.

"HEY lemme go!" Naruto yelled squirming in clone Minato's grip.

"I am sorry but that will not be possible Naruto."

The Sandaime groaned. He was getting way too old for this job! He looked at the broken window and sighed. Then he looked at the ANBU who was just getting his composure back.

"I want you to get Inu here." Hiruzen barked. The ANBU obeyed and disappeared.

A few minutes later an ANBU in a dog mask appeared. He bowed and looked at Sandaime expectantly. "Hokage-sama."

"Inu, I need you to track and apprehend a man. He took Naruto with him. Just a fair warning however, do not let appearances fool you."

The ANBU nodded, though a bit perplexed by the Hokage's warning. Dog disappeared.

The Minato clone was just approaching the entrance of the village. He would take Naruto and run to the ends of the Earth if needed. When Minato saw the Hokage, he felt no familiar ties to the man. Though, he knew who it was. Sarutobi Hiruzen, rank, Hokage. The leader of the Leaf village. The clone also knew what the ANBU were and what Ninja's were. But, he had no memory. Just general information. It was different with Naruto. He felt something for the squirming boy in his arms.

The clone had no interest in the village whatsoever.

After passing the gate, the older blond felt a presence following them. It was another ANBU. Clone Minato picked up the speed, making Naruto yelp and clutch tightly to him. The clone didn't get too far though, as he dodged an incoming Kunai and lost balance falling to the ground.

"Ow!" Naruto groaned.

Inu hopped down from the trees, his eyes not believing what they were seeing.
