Naruto Misbegotten
Sensie
"So you ran away because you thought you weren't strong enough?" Minato asked as he started on his third bowl of Raman. Hinata was still on her first.
"It was because my father thought I wasn't strong enough." She said.
"Your fathers Hiashi right?" Minato asked
"You knew my father?" Hinata asked surprised.
"He was in my year at the academy and one of my best friends along with your mother. Did you know you look just like Hikari when she was your age."
"I wouldn't know. I don't remember her that well." she said sadly.
"So you decided to leave the village, and then what?" Minato asked, seeking to change the subject.
"Hinata continued with her story, but Minato almost chocked on his Raman when she got to the part about Naruto.
"Are you all right Hokage-sama.?" Hinata asked.
"I'm fine." Minato said after taking a long drink of water.
"Please continue." he said. Hinata continued the story telling how Itachi had murdered the entire Uchiha clan except Sasuke and how Sasuke wanted revenge and how they had found Yakumo and Gaara and how they had become a family.
"You aren't telling my everything are you?" Minato asked her already knowing that she was holding back a lot of information.
"That's alright. I'm sure you have your reasons." He said and wolfed down his sixth bowl. Hinata sighed with relief.
"I'll just ask them myself." He said and called for the bill.
"Wait Hokage-sama. I don't know if they'll like that." Hinata said frantically as the waitress brought the bill and Minato paid it.
"I would appreciate it if you called me Minato. If I've been gone as long as I think I have I doubt I'm still Hokage." He told her as he paid and left the Raman stand with Hinata right behind him.
"So where are you guys staying?" Minato asked smiling.
"This way." Hinata said with a huge sigh.
"I wonder where Hinata is?" Naruto asked
"I know. It's getting dark." Yakumo said worriedly when they heard the door open and a depressed looking Hinata came in.
"Hinata, where have you been, we were worried." Yakumo reproved her
"I apologize. I was treating your friend to lunch and I lost track of time." Minato said, having just walked into the kitchen and hearing Yakumos remand.
"Who are you?" Sasuke demanded reaching for a weapon, but before he got their a hand wrapped around his wrist.
"Your certainly distrustful aren't you?" Minato asked Sasuke cheerfully as his vice grip tightened.
"Let him go." Naruto demanded from behind him, pressing a kunai to the mans throat.
"Or else." Gaara added, sand slithering out of his gourd. Minato only laughed.
"Not bad. Not bad at all." He said as an explosion and smoke filled the air. All that could be heard were crashes, bangs and yells, and when the smoke cleared the three boys were tied together with a rope, Minato standing over them with a smirk on his face.
"I'm surprised you don't remember me. Don't they teach kids anything anymore?" He asked.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Sasuke growled
"Sasuke-kun this is the fourth Hokage." Hinata said. Everyone took a good look at Minato and every pair of eyes except Hinatas went wide.
"now I'll untie you three if you promise to calm down and listen to what I have to say." The three nodded and Minato cut the rope.
"Now lets all sit down. I want to hear the whole story of why you all ran away." Minato said and sat down. Sasuke and Yakumo told most of the story. Of how Itachi had slaughtered their clan and how Naruto had fought him off, and how they had recruited Yakumo and left the village, and how they had found Gaara and how Yashamaru revealed that he and Gaara were the containers for demons. When they got to a part concerning Naruto they stopped and looked at him to see if he would like to add something, but he had retreated to a corner and didn't say a word.
"I see." Minato said. All trace of humor gone.
"All of you have been through a lot. Especially you Naruto." Minato said, looking at the boy. Naruto gave the man a long, cold look before leaving the room.
"Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked worriedly.
"Give him some time alone." Minato told her.
"That begs one more question. How are you alive?" Sasuke asked Minato.
"I have absolutely no idea." Minato answered truthfully.
"Who knows. Maybe whatever higher power there is sent me back their to help you."
"But Minato-kun, I thought you would want to go back to the village?" Hinata asked.
"That was the original plan, but you kids seem to need my more." Minato said.
"What do you mean by that?" Sasuke asked suspiciously.
"Theirs only so much you can learn on your own. You kids need a sensei, someone to teach you more advanced jutsu than you're capable of learning on your own."
"We're doing just fine on our own." Sasuke growled.
"No were not." Yakumo contradicted him.
"All of us are reaching our limits, even you Sasuke-kun. We need a teacher." Yakumo said
"And you think he can teach me to use my bloodline. Do you think he can teach you to use yours Hinata?" Sasuke asked the girl who looked away from the boys intense gaze.
"Actually I can." Minato said, surprising them.
"One of my students was an Uchiha and another obtained a sharingan, so I know how to train you Sasuke-kun. As for little Hinata-chan, your father and mother were two of the best friends I ever had and I beat the pants off of both of them regularly so I can train you as well." Minato explained.
"I'm also a fair hand at genjutsu." He told Yakumo.
"And what about me and Gaara." Naruto whispered from the door. The smile fell a little from Minato's face as he gazed at Naruto.
"Your one of the the mains reasons I want to stick with you kids. My specialty is seals. I can help both you and Gaara master your demonic ability's and fix any problems that might come up." He told the boy.
"I'm going to bed" Naruto said and left
"We all should get to bed." Yakumo said. Minato stood over his son, the memories of everything he was forced to do fresh in his mind.
"You've grown my little Naruto-kun." Minato thought as he gently laid a hand as his sons head .
"How you must hate me for what I did to you. I don't expect your forgiveness, but I promise you with every breath in my body that I will protect and train you. I will never leave you alone again my son."
"Finally what you've all been waiting for, the mission to the land of the waves.
They will set out in the next chapter I promise.
