Chapter 4

AN: This chapter takes place without Naruto present.

Tsunade was sitting at her desk, drinking tea, and filling out paperwork, when there were three loud knocks on the door.

"Come in," Tsunade sighed.

"Hokage, I am here to claim my rightful position," Minato requested. He then regretted barging in, because he noticed who the Hokage was now.

"Who are yo- Minato? I thought you were dead!" Tsunade exclaimed. "I know magic doesn't exist, so how did you survive? You should have died from that risky jutsu!"

"Now, wait a second, you shouldn't be talking to the former Hokage like that, should you?" Minato chuckled with one eyebrow raised.

"It's great to see that you're alive, but, how?" Tsunade asked.

"It was too dangerous for Naruto, if I were to return to the village and take on my rightful duty of his father, right after the battle," Minato explained. "I don't know the reason, though, for why I didn't die from that jutsu. I think it was that Naruto knew I was his father, subconsciously, and his love for me was too much, that somehow, the jutsu did not kill me, so that our bond could remain. Of course, our bond will need a bunch of mending to become the father and son bond again."

"That's quite a story, Minato, and I am considering making you Hokage again." Tsunade pondered in thought. "Will it be too much to become Hokage and take care of Naruto at the same time?"

"Tsunade, I have seen how much Naruto has grown over the past year. I don't think it will be hard to take care of him, and be Hokage at the same time," Minato replied.

"Very well then, I shall make you Hokage again," Tsunade sighed. "It'll be very nice to not have paperwork anymore, but I will miss being the leader of this village, Hokage."

"Don't call me Hokage! I am still your friend! Please, call me Minato, will you?" Minato pleaded.

"It would be a please to, Minato. Here is your old robe, your desk, and your new paperwork!" Tsunade exclaimed happily. "We will have to announce the change to the village, and have the ceremony."

"And I probably should tell Naruto the good news, and show him his new house. He shall be pleased!" Minato thought out loud.

"It's nice seeing that you are alive, Minato," Tsunade said sincerely, as she exited.

"Oh, one more thing, Tsunade," Minato requested.

"Yes?" she answered.

"I shall make you head Medical Ninja, is that fine with you?" Minato asked.

"I don't mind at all," Tsunade mumbled as she walked out of the room.

AN: I probably should've explained this, but many of you are probably wondering how Minato knew all about Naruto, and what he did for one year, but nothing of Tsunade. That's because he performed an ocular jutsu that was set only on Naruto, so he could only see Naruto, no one else. I hope that's an ok explanation!
