"You passed him," repeated Minako, eyes wide as she sat across from Iruka in the bar.

"Yea, It was amazing, he pulled off the multi shadow clone jutsu and beat Mizuki senseless," explained the academy teacher, waving his arms for emphases.

Looking up from her bowl of rice, Minako smirked at her old friend. "Shadow clones hey? I guess he takes after me in more ways than one."

"What do you mean?" asked Iruka looking confused.

"Well, naturally it would take over a month to be able to learn the Shadow clone jutsu without some mishaps and even longer to produce as many as you said Naruto did," explained Minako as if it were obvious. "It only took him what… an hour - at the most - to learn and perfect it. They are nothing like the clones you were teaching to the kids in the academy, they have the ability to inflict pain on the enemy where as the others are just an illusion. It took me exactly fifty-six minutes and twenty three seconds to learn that particular jutsu."

Iruka's eyes widened in shock as he listened to the blonde woman explain as if it were nothing. "Now that you mention it… Naruto probably still has no idea how to do the standard Clone Jutsu."

"Probably, but it's not like you can just tell him one day he passes and take that away the next. Besides, shadow clone jutsu is definitely better to have in battle then just your standard clone jutsu."

"I know, I know! It didn't even cross my mind to fail him again, he deserved to pass this time." Iruka gave Minako a reassuring smile before laughing. "You count how long it takes you to perfect a jutsu?"

"Yes, I see nothing wrong with it," replied Minako with a frown.

"Despite the fact that you are actually showing an emotion besides… well just emotions in general, you really haven't change Mina," said Iruka with a small laugh.

"What do you mean?" she asked in reply, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion, but all she got in replied was more laughter from the sensei. "No, really I don't understand."

"You don't need to," replied Iruka as he quieted down. "Tell me… why do you and Naruto have different last names, or better yet, why can't you tell him you're his sister?"

Minako sat back and looked down at her hands in her lap. "Well you see, that night when the nine tailed attack the village and my father sealed half the fox into his body and the other half inside Naruto along with the rest of his and my mothers chakra, when everything was over…"

Flashback

As she saw her parents bodies become lifeless, Minako sat in silence before crawling slowly other to the crying child, to see if in any way she could comfort him. The baby who was to be named Naruto, after hers and their fathers favourite book. As she came to the edge of the bed the baby was laying upon she began running one of her hands threw the child's thin blonde hair and instantly he stopped crying and opened his eyes.

"You definitely resemble our Dad and I don't you little one?" Minako said out loud as she stared into the baby's bright blue eyes.

"He certainly does, Princess Minako," said a masculine from behind the young girl.

"Old Man Third, what are you doing here?" asked the girl with an indifferent tone.

"I really wish she wouldn't call me that," mumbled the Third Hokage but Minako heard him anyways. "I was helping defend the village and came just as the seal was performed, I wish I could have gotten here sooner, to stop the fourth."

Looking back to the baby, Minako replied. "My father wouldn't have wanted that, and even if you tried, he wouldn't have listened, he's pigheaded you should know that."

"Yes, but to seal such a thing into a baby, Minako… and his own son at that."

"It had to be done," she said still petting the baby's hair as he cooed and began drifting to sleep. "There's nothing anyone can do now, what's done is done."

"You grew up too fast Minako," stated the third Hokage as he walked over to the girl and knelt down wrapping his arms around her as if she were his own granddaughter. "It's okay to cry for a lost one, you know that right?"

"A Shinobi must kill all emotions, the twenty-fifth principle states 'A shinobi never shows his feelings, no matter what the circumstance is. Feelings are a weakness that only cloud his judgment and weakens his sense of duty' that is the way of the shinobi."

"For one to cry at the death of those they love is not a weakness Princess," replied the Third rubbing Minako's hair.

"But it goes against my ninja way, to never go back on my word, that is my nindo my ninja way. And I promised my mom and dad to become the best Shinobi in all of Konoha, my goal is to become Hokage to surpass my father and continue on his dream. I will protect this village with all my heart, even if it costs me my life."

"You are strong little one, in both strength and mind," the older man said tears slowly falling down his cheeks at the lost of a dear friend and honorable leader.

"Old man, you're crying," stating Minako turning her head and looking at the man. "But why?"

"Never mind that little one, what about the boy, what shall we call him?"

"His name is Naruto, after the character in Papa Jiraiya's book. Dad and I decided that awhile ago… Mom loved the idea. They named Papa as our godfather as well… but we both know how he is with children, he'd much rather look at woman all day in the bath house, than after a child."

"Indeed, that it was Jiraiya would rather do, but that is a wonderful name for the child, and as for the last name…" asked the man trailing off.

"I want him to have Mom's last name, Uzumaki," stated the little girl looking down at the newborn.

"But why…"

"I don't want him to grow up, having people look down on him with pity and false respect all because his father was the Fourth Hokage," explained Minako, as she thought about the boys future. "People will know he has the Nine tails sealed inside of him and will hate him, that much I know. He'll grow up shunned from society and with no idea why. Sure I want people to care for him, but not for the wrong reasons, he'll just have to get through this himself."

"Himself?"

"What would people think, if the honorable daughter of the fourth was seen taking care of the 'cursed' boy, he can't know I'm his sister, maybe one day… when he's older and people decided to let him in, I will let him know… but until then I will have to act like every other village member, especially for the loss of my parents."

"That's a big decision for such a young girl, are you sure that is what you want, Minako?"

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

End Flashback

"Minako… I had no idea," whispered Iruka, not knowing what to say. "Why would you do that?"

"Because it was true wasn't it, Iruka? What I predicted became true, people despise him, and if they had known he was my brother… I don't want to think about it," responded Minako.

"But what about when we were younger? You acted so cold when it came to Naruto."

"I guess… pretending to hate him like everyone else made be begin to believe I actually did," she said looking up at Iruka. "And sometimes I feel like I still do, but I hate myself more, for not being there for him when I should have, his life must have been so lonely."

"None of that matters now, Minako. He has me, and now that your back he has you, you can be there for him now and what's to come."

Minako smiled and looked up at the man. "Thanks Iruka, I really don't deserve your kindness after all those things I said to you."

Iruka reached over the table and pulled off her bandana rubbing the girls hair. "Listen Minako, you were angry and upset, I don't blame you, besides your emotions were bond to get the best of you at some point it just had to be at a bad time."

"I'm sorry, Iruka."

"I forgave you a long time ago, Minako," said Iruka smiling at the young woman.

-:-

"Next time you transform into me, just try to make me a little cuter okay?" said a woman to a little boy as Minako walked passed them.

"Why am I the one that gets beaten? You're the one who couldn't transform into her properly," came Naruto's voice moments later causing the blonde woman to stop and walk back to them.

"Naruto… are you trying to teach this kid your 'sexy' jutsu?" asked Minako raising a brow at the boy.

"Uh… n-no…"

"He sure is lady… say… did you know you and Naruto look a lot alike?"

"So I've heard," said Minako looking down at the boy. "Hey you're Konohamaru, the old mans grandson."

"Yea… I'm the honorable grandson it sucks I hate that name," mumbled the boy.

"Yea that title sure gets annoying doesn't it?" replied Minako her eyes closing as she tilted her head and smiled.

"What would you know about that?" asked the boy glaring at the young woman.

"Believe me, I'm the daughter of the Fourth Hokage and I'm still called honorable daughter, princess and lady," she said laughing. "It doesn't get much better."

"You're the daughter of the fourth? Wow, that's awesome, the old man says he was the greatest!"

"I sure am! And he sure was something!" replied Minako. "Speaking of Hokage's I have to go speak to your grandfather. And you might want to know… Ebisu is coming this way, you might want to run and don't worry I'll keep your secret!"

"Thanks Lady! I owe you one!"

"Don't mention it kid. I'll see you later Naruto, Konohamaru!"

"Bye, Minako-sensei!" shouted Naruto waving after her frantically.

'Man that kid needs to stop calling me that,' thought Minako shaking her head as she headed towards the Hokage's office.

-:-

"What?" questioned Minako staring at the old man in front of her slightly confused.

"You heard me Minako, I want you to observe the Genin teams that will be put together in the next."

"Er… why?"

"I personally put together these groups and I am already certain the three that will be chosen to stay as Genin."

"And these groups are?" asked Minako staring at the man suspiciously. "Which one is Naruto in?"

"I won't tell you that, you are to attend the meeting tomorrow and stay there until every group has been called and met their leaders."

"What's in it for me?"

"You have the final say in all the groups status'," replied the Hokage with a smirk.

'Man, I can't believe I got stuck with this… they've never had someone do this before… the old man must be planning something.' toughing Minako as she thought back to the meeting she had with the Hokage the day before. As the blonde made her way through the village towards the academy, she reached into her back weapon pouch and pulled out a copy of one of her favourite books.

"Ah, what a perfect time to catch up on my reading. Nothing like some good old Icha Icha Paradise," Minako said to herself out loud receiving surprised looks for reading such a book in public.

Time passed quickly for Minako as she read her way to the academy and soon she found herself standing in front of the door to Iruka's classroom. Not taking her eyes off the words in front of her, Minako opened the door and stepped in, but no one noticed due to crowd of girl arguing about who was going to sit with 'Sasuke'.

-:-

"Most promising new student, Sasuke Uchiha," stated a man with silver hair and three quarters of his face covered save for his right eye. "Is that him?"

"Yes, he's the one," answered the Hokage.

"He's the only survivor left of the Uchiha clan," stated Kurenai.

"Yes, that's right."

"Hmm…" said the same man with silver hair. "Naruto Uzumaki huh?"

The Jonin assigned to the new Genin where standing in the Hokage's office watching through a glass ball to see which students they were going to paired up with when in the ball they saw the door to the classroom open revealing someone they didn't expect to be there, except for the old man that is.

"Is that… Minako?" asked Asuma staring at ball. "What's she reading? It looks familiar."

"Is… Is she reading porn?" gasped Kurenai glaring at the woman in the glass mirror.

"It isn't porn, Kurenai, it's a Romance Novel," defended Kakashi.

"Shut it, Kakashi you're only saying that because you read the same book," growled Kurenai. "The nerve of her to read that in public and around kids no less."

'So that's Minako Namikaze hey…' thought Kakashi staring at the woman. 'She sure bares a striking resemblance to her father, but she's beautiful.'

"Naruto, hey stop glaring at Sasuke," growled the girl with the pink hair who had just been arguing with the other girls.

Naruto looked to the girls and then went back to glaring at the boy in front of him as the girls continued to yell at him. Then the unthinkable happened the boy in the row in front of Naruto and Sasuke bumped into the blonde knucklehead causing the two to lock lips.

"Er…" the Jonin were all speechless.

"I don't know about Iruka-sensei, but I'm sure he doesn't allow public displays of affection in the classroom, as much as I think it's great you two are so open about your sexual preferences I think we can all come to the agreement for you to keep that for behind closed doors," said Minako still not looking up from her book as her walked towards the desk at which the girls were standing. "I'm surprised though, that its you two showing affection, the two boy I wouldn't even peg as being homosexual."

"We aren't gay," yelled the two boys in unison.

"Yea, yea keep telling yourself that," replied Minako continuing her way down to the front of the classroom and sat on top of Iruka's desk, not once looking up from the novel.

"As usual, Naruto is in the middle of some kind of trouble, though I'm surprised Minako would make a joke out of something so childish," stated the Hokage.

"Wait… Minako-sensei what are you doing here? Are you our new teacher?" asked Sakura now sitting between a beat up Naruto and an expressionless Sasuke, causing Minako to look up and narrow her eyes at the pink girl.

"Please don't call me that, why would you think I'm your new teacher? What makes you think I'd want to teach you kids? In my eyes you are all nothing but a bunch of average students like I said before, by the age you were all entering this academy I was already a Chunin and by your age now I was beyond the level of a Jonin, I am hardly impressed by any of you snot nosed brats, even your little Uchiha can't impress me."

"Gee… I guess she didn't change after all," commented Kurenai as her and the Hokage sweat dropped.

"So cold, and so harsh," stated Asuma. "That must have been a blow to the Uchiha, I mean he's spent practically his whole life being praised for his ability and to have this girl come along and say something like that…"

"You wouldn't be either, if you were once close to the Uchiha family," stated Kakashi keeping his one eye on the woman in the glass ball ignoring the questioning glances.

"Well, you were there for our graduation exam so I only assumed…" began Sakura only to be interrupted.

"Do not assume pinkie, it only makes an ass out of you and me."

"So, Minako-sensei, where's Iruka-sensei then?" called out Naruto, earning him irritated looks from the girls and Minako.

"I just said not to call me that!" growled the woman closing her book and glaring at the boy. "And to answer your question, he is somewhere handcuffed in a closet waiting for me to come back with a can of whipped cream and chocolate sauce but I'm waiting to see if he can escape before I return."

Both the Hokage and Kurenai sweat dropped again and face palmed.

"Uhm… what?" said most of the class, others like Sasuke and Shikamaru were most disturbed.

"Eh… I'll tell you when you guys turn eighteen," replied Minako laughing nervously realizing what she just said.

"What about that book you're reading what's that some type of technique booklet?" called out Naruto again.

"Ah…. No no, you really don't need to know that until you're older either kid," she said again laughing nervously and waving her hand after putting the book away.

"Where did she get such an idea?" groaned Kurenai, not quite over what Minako just said to the class.

"A wonderful scene from Icha Icha Paradise chapter three," replied Kakashi smiling slightly from under his mask.
