~ Waaaa.. i just finished it within 24 hours _
Chapter 3 : The Start of a New Beginning
It was almost 10 when Naruto and Minato left Ichiraku's to have dinner, and as always Naruto always found a way to deplete Ichiraku's supply of ramen and pork
"Dad… do you mind if we go back to my old apartment?" Naruto asked with a pleading look
"Of course, Naru-chan, but why do you want to go there?, the last time we got there.." Minato cuts his statement while looking at Naruto with a worried expression
"It's okay Dad, it's just that I have something I left in the apartment, that's why, and besides I got you right." Naruto said in a sad voice but yet immediately regained his cheerful nature
"Okay then.." Minato said in approval yet still worried about Naruto,
Naruto being so young to experience the hardships of being scorned, there's no way he would allow such things be happening to his son once again but he can't say no to his son to whom he only met this morning he felt the lack of superiority because of his absence
"What did you left in the apartment by the way?" Minato asked curiously
"Uuuu.." Naruto blushed a little don't know if it's manly enough for him to be taking about his prized possession
"WALLET !" Naruto replied abruptly
Minato was shocked about Naruto's reaction but sighed with relief when he unveiled his prized possession, Minato giggled, giggled because Naruto was so cute in that state, He can't believe that people have scorned such an innocent boy like Naruto
"Hehehe, If that's all then, let's go" Minato said breaking up the tension that's building within his chest as they headed to Naruto's apartment with such glee
"Shina onee-chan !" a girl shouted on top of his lungs as a white hodded female walked closer to their direction, the hooded female then took off his hood revealing a beautiful woman that can even be mistaken as Aphrodite, the woman named Shina, smiled at the girl while intercepting her big welcome back hug.
"Welcome back, Shina onee-chan" the girl nestled her head in her pelvic area
"I'm back, Karin-chan" Shina smiled warmly at Karin
Shina was looking intently at Karin for a few second after their interception when an unknown voice that belonged to an old man welcomed Shina
"Welcome back, Shina-chan" the old man sent smiles of relief at Shina
Shina broke her stare unto Karin and looked towards the originator of the voice
"I'm back oji-ji !" Shina said as she too sent a smile from cheek to cheek
As Shina went to enter a small house beside the waterfall, Karin, who was beside her was telling stories about her recent adventures about meeting a white-blue haired boy that can turn himself into water, about how infatuated she is with that white-blue haired dude
"Why do you always mention him as a white-blue haired boy?" Shina asked not knowing that the question she asked was dead on flaw into her story,
"Does he have a name?" Shina finished her question
After hearing Shina's question, Karin suddenly stopped talking then followed with a gash of red and pink in her cheeks and face, Shina who's curious about the white-blue haired boy's name was intercepted with laughter when she saw Karin's reaction, she let out a soft and controlled laugh
"Onee-chan !" Karin shouted at Shina that sounded more reprimanding while her face is as red as a ripe apple
"Sorry….. So do you know his name?" Kushina asked trying to hide her laughter
"Ummmm…" Karin was one again unable to speak as her face was even redder than before
Shina then sighed at Karin's constant reaction when all of a sudden, flashes of images played in her mind; images of a man named Minato on which she called him by based on her older memories
"CKKKKKK" Shina swayed as she'd tried to hold on to one of the hall walls
Karin who's suddenly aware of the recent situation pulled Shina's hand unto her shoulder as Shina's legs finally gave in to the pressure
"Onee-chan, are you alright?" Karin asked looking really worried
"I'm Okay" Shina managed to answer while her thoughts are in a mess as she tried to organize her newly acquired memories
"Shina-chan…. Are you okay?" "oji-ji" ran towards Shina and Karin after he heard a large thud on the floor
"What happened..?" Oji-ji asked to know the situation
"I was just telling Shina onee-chan about my current adventures when suddenly she lost her balance " Karin replied with such distress
Karin and Oji-ji was silent for a few seconds when Shina broke the silence
"It's not her fault oji-ji "Shina said while she gapped for more air
"It's just one of the "ALWAYS" "Shina said while held one of her hand unto her head
"What did you recall?" Oji-ji asked as his face was enveloped with curiosity but at the same time held distress and horror
"About the same man but this time he was holding flowers, he seemed really nervous about handing the flowers to me, but I just chuckled at his reactions and said that "you are innocent" "Shina said as she was about to let go of her hand unto Karin and sat in the floor tiles
"What did you two talked about?, I'm sure that there must be something you talked about that cause the trigger." Oji-ji said with such distress
"We-well, you see oji-ji" Karin replied right away yet hesitantly,
Karin's way of talking made Shina and Oji-ji looked at her with curiosity but the old man not only depicted curiosity but also with worry
"I was telling Shina onee-chan about my adventures regarding the white-blue haired boy that I was stalking" Karin said while her eyes closed
"Ye-Yes, that's right.. I don't know his name, because I only watched him from a far" Karin said to herself in her mind
"Wh-when Shina onee-chan collapsed" Karin stuttered as she closes her eyes to evade those piercing glares
"So I was right after all" Shina thought as she watched Karin closed her eyes tightly
Oji-ji and Shina giggled at Karin's reaction
"Tell you what Karin-chan, the next you meet him, you can ask him to join us for dinner" Oji-ji said , with a heartfelt smile and acceptance
Upon receiving Oji-ji's suggestion, her face brightened from a sweetest smile as she was only able to give a cute smile-filled nod
Shina and Oji-ji returned her smile
"Geez." Shina's expression softened as she watched Karin smile the sweetest smile she ever saw her did
"Now let's go eat dinner" Oji-ji said as he held his 2 hands for his two girls to hold to
"Yes !" Karin said as her smile brightened the hollow halls of the house
"Let's go, Shina-chan" as he turned to give Shina a big warm smile
"Okay" Shina returned the smile as she gathered up the strength in her feet
The 3 of them headed towards the dining table to eat
"Have you found it yet?" Minato asked Naruto as he search for his son's wallet in the ruin-like apartment
"Not yet, Dad" Naruto said as he dug his way through the broken furnitures of his room
"It must be here somewhere" he said while having a grim yet serious face
"Ahh… here it is !" Naruto exclaimed as he wiggled his gama-chan wallet up in the air
Minato smiled at his sons childish act, well it's totally natural since he IS a kid
As Naruto shoved his gama-chan wallet unto a medium sized box, Minato stood up to help his son carry his things
"Is that all?" Minato asked with a smile
"UHNN" Naruto let out a hum as an answer as he nod with a big grin stuck on his face
"Then, Let's go to our new home, Naru-chan" Minato said while smiling at naruto and extending his hand for his son to hold
"UHNN" Naruto answered with a nod as he eye-smiled and grinned at his father
After the second they broke their gazes the father-son disappeared with a bright yellow flash
Naruto was awaken by a soft breathing by someone bigger than him, as Naruto start to open my eyes, he started to recall all of the happenings last night,
-FLASH BACK-
"Welcome to our new home" Minato said with eyes looking at Naruto
"WOW !" Naruto said in awe
"I never knew that we are this rich" Naruto thought to himself as he stands before a mini-mansion that's equipped with every little detail a family could need.
"Let's go inside" Minato said in a asking voice
"Y-Yes" Naruto manage to reply positively as he was in awe about their new house
The Father-son walked inside the gates of their new home and into the door where Minato held the handle of the door like its filled money on the other side as Minato slowly pushed the door, Naruto was once again awestruck after he saw that their house is quite spacious with very great designs and furniture
"You like our new house?" Minato asked in a tone where he somewhat he request an immediate answer
"UHNN" Naruto only nodded as Minato walked inside the house with Naruto
"Now let's get you dressed and prepare for bed, it's already quite late" Minato said while looking at a clock that's placed just meters away from the door
After Minato helped Naruto brush his teeth, he then helped him be dressed in his frog pajamas and after that Minato helped Naruto tucked in his new bed
"Here you go, Naru-chan" Minato said as he showed him his new room
Naruto gasped with surprise, the room was full of everything he loved, from frog stuffed toys to the cool sporty wall prints to a comfy medium sized bed
"Do you like it" Minato asked
"Y-yes" Naruto replied stutteringly
Minato beamed a smile at Naruto then leading him to the bed
"Here we go" Minato said gleefully
"We've got a big day tommorow." he continued still smiling at Naruto as his face let out a small undetected grim
"Y-Yes" Naruto said with an additional eye smile
"We'll for me that is" Minato thought as he still held the facade of smiling at Naruto
"I'm Finally gonna give those citizens a chance to meet death" Minato thought, unknowingly that he was taken down by his feelings thus making Naruto notice the expression
"D-Dad... are you okay?" Naruto asked as his face broke out the eye smile showing a worried look at his father
"I'm okay" Minato said as he broke out his thoughts as he focused his attention at Naruto
"Then I'll be going now" Minato said like he was getting permission to Naruto
"O-Okay" Naruto replied still can't comprehend all of the things that happened with him today
He met his father, enjoyed a marvelous dinner at Ichiraku's and now this !,
"It's just so good to be true" Naruto said as he slumped unto his new bed
On the other hand, Minato who was already at the door, took a glance at Naruto and with a smile, he turned off the lights only leaving a blue nightlight on and closed the door as he left towards his own room
It wasn't a blissful evening as Naruto thought it would be as the wind howled having the leaves be taken away from their trees and the sound of heavy rain pitter-patterd on the roof, Naruto was awakened by the sound of thunder as he bolted up on his bed, he wandered his towards the corners of his room... IT WAS DARK , Naruto's eyes widened as memories of that gruesome night played on his mind as he screamed on top of his lungs
-FLASH BACK-
"Dog-nii? Crow-nii?" Naruto called while facing the darkness
"Where are you?" he called as he felt that his eyes were forming liquids
As Darkness prevailed in the vicinity, the silence was suddenly penetrated by an old war-torned voice
"So this is the rumored kyuubi brat.." said the old man as two anbu guards accompanied him towards Naruto
"You are a better than what my reports gathered about you" the old man said with a soft yet superior voice
"You'll start your training right now, starting with enveloping yourself with darkness, silence and discipline" the Old man said with a sinister and superior voice
After that, the old man along with his guards walked away from Naruto , making the boy suffer for utmost 48 hours after he was rescued by his guards : Dog and Crow
-END FLASHBACK-
Minato's POV
Minato was still on the edge of sleeping when, out of nowhere, he was caught in Naruto's voice of desperation for help, he totally flipped out ,out of his bed as he heard his son's voice, and in that short amount of time he envisioned his son in all kinds of situation where his life is on the line or he was again kidnapped by bad guys, he ran as fast as his legs can carry him, only to find out that Naruto was curled up in a ball, while rocking himself against the wall and his hands covering his ears
"Naru-chan..." Minato said in a worried voice
"What's wrong?" Minato asked as he felt a dagger stab in his heart
Naruto didn't manage to reply his father's question that worried him
Minato, noticing that his son was too caught up in the trance, didn't asked no further and only hugged him close to him
"It's okay, I'm here Naru-chan" Minato said in a comforting voice as he brushed his hands in Naruto's back
After he manage to hug him tightly to his, his face made an expression of pure hatred as he stare at the village
"They'll gonna pay !" Minato thought to himself that sounded like a conviction
The situation between Naruto and Minato was never moved until Naruto suddenly fell on his father's chest,snoring, Minato's face softened as he placed Naruto on his bed and slept with him
-END FLASH BACK-
As he started to recall all the happenings, he opened up his eyes to see that he was enveloped by his father's arms
after he recalled the memories of last night, he was suddenly shocked about his memories not knowing that he was in a trance, as his eyes began to water he suddenly rushed in for a hug at his Dad as he know that he was with him since last night
Minato who was recently asleep was moved by a sudden hug that came from none other than his son
"Are you okay now, Naru-chan?" Minato said still half-awake while having a sweet smile beamed at Naruto
"Thank you, Dad" Naruto said as he nestled his face on his father's stomach his tears streaked at his cheeks
"What are you talking about? Naru-chan" Minato said while smiling at him
"That's what my role is" he said as he touched Naruto's wet cheek to wipe his tears
"As your father, I'm going to protect you, love you and anything that goes" Minato said as he beamed a sweet smile
After a few minutes of some father-son bonding, they headed out to eat breakfast
"What do you want to eat Naru-chan?" Minato asked as he poured hot water to his mug
"RAMEN !" Naruto shouted as he waved his hands on the air
"Hehehe" Minato chuckled
"You really are as crazed as Kushina when it comes to ramen" he continued
"Really?" Naruto was somewhat surprised
"Yup" Minato laughed as he saw Naruto's reaction
"Well okay, for now let's go, I too, fear that there's nothing here that can fill my stomach" Minato said as he giggled while looking for some edible food
"Yes !" Naruto said as he pumped his fist in the air
"So Naruto,change your clothes, while i finish my coffee" Minato said while emptying his cup
After a few minutes of preparation they head out to Ichiraku's with a flash
-MEAN WHILE AT the COUNCIL CHAMBERS-
"Has the clan leaders already assembled?" Hiruzen asked his anbu guard
"Yes, Hokage-sama" the anbu guard confirmed courtly
"Then I guess it's time" Hiruzen said in a serious voice as he were going to war or expected some bloodshed within the chambers
"Inform, Minato" Hiruzen said while looking straightly ahead as his guard disappeared in thin air behind his back
"I hope you can contain your anger Minato-san" Hiruzen thought like he was praying for miracles to happen
NEXT CHAPTER : SO IT BEGINS
SPECIAL OMAKE : PRIMA DONNO?
Minato and Hiruzen was looking for houses that suited, Minato's taste, they were looking for a possible house to occupy since Minato and Kushina's house was destroyed by the rampaging fox
"What about this one, Minato" Hiruzen asked as he showed to his successor a castle-like mansion
"Ohh,, come on Hiruzen-san" Minato said in a skeptical voice
"That's just to big for us two, to live in" Minato added
"How about this?" Hiruzen said as he showed him a Mansion with a large hedge maze at the backyard
"Ohh,, come one Hiruzen-san" Minato said he said in a skeptical voice again while his face ensembles a face of absurdness
Hiruzen sighed about his successor's reaction to every house he suggests
"I thought that he wanted to live in a large scale house?" Hiruzen thought
"Well how about this Minato-kun" Hiruzen saiid as he pushed an image to a mini-mansion that's composed of a medium size backyard made for ninja training or other things, a mini forest/garden in front of the house equipped with a bench, stone table, tree house and a bench swing, the house having 2 master bedrooms, 3 guestrooms,6 rest rooms, a big dining table, a balcony, and a big sofa in the sala.
"Perfect !"Minato said in an exclaimed voice while his face depicted a sign of excitement
"Well then, what do you want to put inside your house?" Hiruzen said as he sighed with relief, his job is finally finished
"well, I want a medium size pendulum clock that's gonna be placed near the door, 3 12' 3D LCD TV, Chandeliers, 3 medium size wardrobes, a double door refrigerator, a toaster also i want a lifetime supply of ramen sponsored by Ichiraku's by the end the month-"
While at Ichiraku's, Ichiraku was making ramen, when he suddenly sneezed,
"Are you okay pops?" Ayame asked as she popped her haid from the kitched
" Someone must be talking about me" Ichiraku said to his daughter
"Well don't overwork yourself pops" Ayame said as her haid popped back into the kitched
"Ayame !" Ichiraku shouted for her daughter to hear
"OHHH" Ayame said not bothering to look
"I think we need a bigger cash vault" Ichiraku frowned as his face depicted the expression of being blue
-BACK AT MINATO AND HIRUZEN-
" Naruto's bed must have a frog picture as a sheet, his walls sporty and blue, put in some stuffed toys Naruto liked, a counter tops, and i need the chandelier on top of the dining table" Minato said finishing his rant
Hiruzen was completely surprised about Minato's sudden requests as his anbu guard was rushing in writing what the Yondaime hokage just said
"I need no excuses, alright, what i mentioned , I need it to be exact, no substitutions" Minato said in a haughty voice as his face grimed as he stared at the anbu guard who was writing
"Okay, that' all" Minato said wrapping his requests in the bag
Hiruzen has got over about his successor's rant and proceeded to other things that needed their attention such as the incoming council meeting
After that, the Anbu guards' entrepreneurial skills blossomed as they manage every store owner to buy their desired products
