Chapter 5 : So It Begins Part 2 : The Last Chapter of the Introduction Arc
Itachi was sitting in a bench while watching Naruto play in the sand as the 2 of them are waiting for Sasuke, after a 10 minutes of waiting, Sasuke arrived at the park with his mother accompanying him
"Here you go, Sasuke-chan" Mikoto said as she stopped to a halt just in front of the park
Itachi and Naruto, whom have noticed their arrival walked towards them to greet them
"Mom, Sasuke-kun" Itachi greeted as Naruto went infront of him looking at the ground
"Hello Naruto-kun" Mikoto said as she smiled at Naruto
"Hello" Naruto said shyly, Mikoto who've looked at Naruto's expression, giggled as she looked at Sasuke
"Sasuke-chan, why don't you say hi to Naruto" Mikoto persuaded as she looked at Sasuke
"Hello, Naruto" Sasuke said shyly as his eyes wanders at the ground
Naruto who've received a greeting have lifted up a big smile at Sasuke and nodded that even Itachi and Mikoto chuckled at Naruto's happy face
"Itachi-kun, please watch over your brother and Naruto for me okay?" Mikoto said as he smiled at the two boys then at Itachi
"You can count on me " Itachi said as he cranked up a slight smile
Mikoto chuckled by his son's smile, "Well, then If it's you, then I can surely be rest assured" she said
"Well then.." Mikoto said as he looked up at Sasuke
"Play nice okay?, your brother will be accompanying you too, as I go out" Mikoto said as she looked at Sasuke and Naruto
"okay" Sasuke said shyly
"I'll go now , okay?" Mikoto said as she stood down to Sasuke's level and gave him a peck in the cheeks as Sasuke's done the same as she looked at Naruto
"Come, here Naruto" Mikoto said, smiling at Naruto as Naruto walked towards her
As Naruto walked in front of Mikoto, she then pecked Naruto's cheeks as the same as she did to Sasuke that made him blush, Mikoto giggled happily as she watched how Naruto's face changed color
"You know.. your mother was my best friend" Mikoto whispered as Itachi looked at the with tenderness as if he treated Naruto like his own brother
"You do?" Naruto asked shockingly, "What's she liked?" he continued, now really intrigued , seeing his reaction Mikoto, again giggled
"Well, for starters, she's really pretty" Mikoto said as she looked at Naruto with pleasure
"Now, then I must get going..." Mikoto said as she looked around the vicinity, "Be good now you two" she added as her eyes wandered from Sasuke to Naruto
"Okay!" Naruto said as he grinned with happiness and Sasuke having the needed amount of energy to be heard
As Mikoto finally went to her desired place, Naruto and Sasuke went to play in the sand with Itachi as their guardian
After a minutes of hard work and sweat they finally manage to build a decent castle
"AMAZING" Naruto thought to himself as he placed a new tower into the castle. but when he put the sand tower into the castle, the castle's top crumbled and made Sasuke jump out of rage
"MOUU, when we were almost about to finish..." Sasuke rambled as his face looked so pissed
"So, sorry Sasuke." Naruto said pleadingly as he clapped his hands in front of his face in a sign of forgiveness while his eyes teared up by the current pressure of thinking about the consequences when he was about to make friends with Sasuke
"PHHFFTT, HAHAHA" Sasuke laughed hysterically as he saw Naruto swelled up some tears
"Hey !" Naruto reprimanded.., "When I was about to think that I really made you mad" he added as he stood up to Sasuke's level
"So-sorry,sorry" Sasuke said as he tried to control his laughter but failed miserably
"Hey ! Stop it" Naruto shouted as Itachi walked towards them
At the sight of his older brother, Sasuke finally got a hold of himself and stopped laughing
"What's going on here?" Itachi said as he smiled slightly at the two boys
"Well, when I was about to put an another tower to the castle, the castle suddenly crumbled and Sasuke was mad and I apologized and then he laughed" Naruto explained without even thinking to breathe making Itachi chuckle for the unnecessary worry he inflicted upon himself
"Where is the castle that you said to be crumbled?" Itachi said as he kneeled towards the little sand castle Naruto and Sasuke build together
"Here it is" Sasuke pointed the flaw turning back to being human after the presence of his brother stoned him
"Hmmm..." Itachi hummed as he scanned the damage
"I think this'll repair it.." Itachi said as his hands glowed light green and hovered his hands over the crumbled tower, over a few seconds the tower fell back to it's original place, as Sasuke and Naruto's eyes widened with amazement
"How did you do it?" Naruto asked as he still gaped at the display of power made by Itachi
"Well , you just have to muster and control your chakra to perform that trick " Itachi said as he smiled at Naruto
"I want to learn it, onii-san" Sasuke requested while holding the same expression as Naruto
Itachi sighed as he thought that there's no stopping them from asking him unless he teaches them the technique, Itachi taught Naruto and Sasuke on how to muster chakra and control it, after a few minutes of practicing they evidently passed and then Itachi taught them the secrets of the jutsu
"Well. the jutsu is called the "Shūri no Jutsu", and because this jutsu is derived from medical ninjutsu, that's why the jutsu has a light green glow when you performed it" Itachi said as he made a demonstration
Naruto and Sasuke's eyes again widened as Itachi demonstrated while mentioning the basics on how to control and muster the chakra and in which they, too tried to perform.
"You two are good " Itachi praised as he saw the two boys hands glowing blue, Naruto and Sasuke was astonished about their new found power.
"Itachi nii-san, what's next?" Sasuke asked attentively as he watched his hands glowed bright blue
"Yup, what's next?" Naruto ad-libbed
"Well, you need to control now your chakra., like this" Itachi said as he demonstrated on how to control his chakra from blue to light green
"Cool !" Naruto said in awe, " Let me try it !" he said while hyping up as he tried to control his chakra from blue to light green, but to his expense he failed while making his hands have burn marks
"Ouch" Naruto cried as he felt a sudden prick in his hands,as Naruto slightly cried in pain, Itachi who was watching them, noticed the cry and went directly to Naruto to see the situation
"What happened?" Itachi asked as Naruto showed him his hands full of burn marks, after he scanned his hands, he thus made some gestures as if he was in deep thought
"I think, it's the Kyuubi's immense chakra" Itachi thought as he turned back to reality
"Hmmm... I think this'll ease the pain." Itachi comforted as his hands lit a shade of light green while hovering it over to Naruto's hands, As Naruto's hands were healed, Naruto again was astonished about the display of power
"How did you do it?" Naruto asked
"Hehehehe, you'll find it later on, at school after 3 years" Itachi teased
"Ehhhh?" Naruto freaked out as he heard Itachi's words
"Now let's get lunch, I bet you two are hungry right?" Itachi asked them
At the sound of the magic word the two boys seized what they've been doing and ran towards the exit of the park
"Let's go, Itachi nii-san/Kurasu nii-san" the two boys shouted in unison
Itachi smiled sarcastically as he walked towards the two boys, as he thought " These two boys are just..."
As Itachi walked towards them, his eyes started to widen as he saw the Yondaime appeared before the two boys
"Hello, Naruto" Minato said as he smiled at their backs
"Dad?" Naruto said shockingly as he and Sasuke looked at their backs with their eyes widened
"Yes.." Minato replied with an eye smile
As Naruto heard him reply, he literally jumped at him clinging unto him with dear life
"You're up early, Dad" Naruto hyped up
"Yup" Minato smiled at Naruto as he supported Naruto with his hands," The meeting went well than I expected " he added as he remembered what he just did at the chambers
"By the way Dad, I just made a new friend !" Naruto exclaimed happily as he pointed his fingers to Sasuke
"Sasuke, meet my Dad !" Naruto said as his eyes smiled, Sasuke nodded as he looked at the ground feeling quite anxious of the legendary figure in front of me
"Hello Sasuke-kun" Minato said as he looked towards the young boy in front of him
"Good Afternoon, Yondaime-sama" Sasuke answered as he bowed in front of him
"Please refrain from calling me that, title okay?" Minato repremanded as he sighed pleasurably, "Just call me Uncle Minato, since your friends with my Naru-chan" he added smiling at Sasuke while teasing his son
"Dad !"Naruto whined at the nickname
"Yes..Uncle Minato" Sasuke said as his face change in a shade of pink as he saw Minato's face looking very pleased
"Now.." Minato scanned the area as he searched for Itachi, "Thanks for your hard work, Itachi-kun" he said as he looked very pleased on how he handle the job
"It's nothing, Yondaime-sama" Itachi replied as he bowed at him
"So.. who's hungry?" Minato asked as he looked at the two boys with an outgoing look
"I am !" Naruto retorted happily as Sasuke mumbled that he was hungry
"Well now let's go eat at a restaurant then, my treat" he smiled at his son's antics, "Let's go Sasuke" he added as he extended his hand to Sasuke while he noticed that Itachi went closer to him
"Now... let's go " he merrily shouted as they disappeared in a yellow flash
As the two groups bid farewell at each group after their fruitful dinner, Sasuke along with Itachi sought their mom coming their way as they were about to part ways
"Sasuke-chan..." Mikoto shouted as she fast walked towards the group can't barely see the people he was with because of the lights
"Mom..." Sasuke called consciously,
"Aunt Mikoto" Naruto shouted
As she heard his son and Naruto's voice she ran towards them as she finally saw who were the people with him, as her eyes widened as she finally walked towards them
"Good Evening, Mina-, Yondaime-sama" Mikoto greeted as she mistakenly greeted him by his real name
"It's okay, Mikoto" Minato chuckled at her mistake
"Hehehehe, You really are like you were 5 years ago" Mikoto said as she giggled
"Of course !" Minato said while laughing sarcastically
"I'm glad to see you doing well, Minato" Mikoto said as he looked at Naruto with tender eyes
"Well be going now, Naruto-kun" Mikoto said as he brushed Naruto's hair
"Ehhhh?" the two boys whined in unison
"Now, don't act like that, you'll see each other again soon, maybe tomorrow morning" Mikoto said in a superior yet tender-loving voice
"Really?" Sasuke said as his eyes widened
"Yup !" Mikoto said as she smiled at Sasuke
"And of course, you are more than welcome to come at our house Naruto to play " Mikoto said as he looked at Naruto with a motherly figure, as he finally processed the suggestion his eyes widened with happiness and his face depict a shade of light red
"And you are more welcome too, Sasuke to visit our house !" Naruto shouted as he looked at the ground, as Sasuke looked at him with shock and happiness
"Thanks" Sasuke mumbled as he mimicked the same gesture as Naruto as when he was invited to visit their home
As their parents looked at how their children react they can do nothing more than chuckle because of their cute acts while Itachi looked at them with the typical "SIGH" look
"Well then, now that, that's settled, bid now your goodbye, Sasuke-kun" as Mikoto said as she nudged Sasuke forward
"Go-goodbye , Naruto, see you around" Sasuke staggered, still haven't recovered about that situation
"Sa-same here" Naruto mumbled just enough so that the people around him could hear
Mikoto and Minato can't barely sustain their laughter from the exhibition their sons perform as they too bid farewell to each other
"I believe it is time for us to go , Minato" Mikoto said as she gestured her sons to come closer to her
"I think the same too, Mikoto" Minato said like he was conversing with a long time friend he hadn't saw for awhile
"Let's go now.. I bet your father's deadly worried about us" Mikoto said as she pulled Sasuke by the hand and walked over the opposite direction, while Sasuke turned his head to glance at Naruto for the last time today, as Naruto and his Dad waved at him in goodbye
While Mikoto and Sasuke already went, Itachi stayed a minute longer to bid his farewell
"We're going now, Yondaime-sama" Itachi said as he bowed his head
"Okay... Take care Itachi-kun.. I'll see you tomorrow" Minato replied while gesturing him in dismissal
When Itachi got the signal, he finally caught up to them by a block away
As the Uchiha family was finally out of sight, Minato and Naruto finally went home
"Let's go home?" Minato asked as he looked at Naruto still looking at the figures of his new friend
"Yup " Naruto replied as he cranked up an eye smile
And with that, they disappeared again in a yellow flash
-Minato's POV-
It was already dark when we arrived at the mansion
"okay.. Naruto, let's get you up for bed" Minato said as he put put down Naruto
"Yup" Naruto said as he ran towards the stairs
"Don't run, you might trip" Minato shouted worriedly as he went towards the dining room to think about what Hiruzen said after the meeting
-FLASHBACK-
"Minato-san" Hiruzen said as he looked straight ahead, while Minato went to sit in his side
"What is it, Sandaime-sama?" Minato asked as he stared at the Sandaime with a puzzled look
"There's something, you must know, it's regarding your wife's clan activities" Hiruzen said as his eyes looked stern as he stared out the window
"What do you mean? I thought that Kushina was the last of their kind" Minato retorted
"That's what exactly that's going on, on my mind right now" Hiruzen said as he looked at Minato looking so grim
Minato sighed after he looked at how troubled the Sandaime's face was as he finally took control of himself
"So what did they do?" Minato asked as he did breathing exercises to calm himself
"They wanted Konoha to take 3 ninjas into our custody" Hiruzen said as he sighed
"So what seems to be the problem?" Minato asked as he felt that his wife's clan doesn't have any connections or whatsoever to his wife
"There's no problem, so far exactly I was just wondering if you are quite interested about them" Hiruzen said as he looked at him sternly
"If there's nothing more for you to discuss with me, Sandaime-sama, I would like to excuse myself since I have a son waiting for me outside" Minato said while he was in a deep thought
"Of course" Hiruzen said as he noticed his successor trying so hard to keep up a poker face, "You are excused" he said as he waved at him
"And ohh... please send my deepest regards to Naruto, would you?" Hiruzen requested as he cracked up a smile
"Of course, Sandaime-sama" Minato said as he returned the smile
-END FLASHBACK-
"What are you thinking Dad?" Naruto asked as Minato escaped his walk on memory lane,
"Nothing important, really Naruto" Minato lied as he controlled his expressions in front of his son
"Now let's get you to bed" Minato changed the topic as he set aside those trouble some thoughts for later
As Naruto heard the word he then rushed towards the stairs making Minato quite surprise because of the spurt of energy even though of the exhausting day they had yet he just smiled for that kind of personality of his
"Naruto.., be careful" Minato shouted worriedly as he followed his son towards the stairs and into his room where he then sat beside the lying Naruto in his bed
"Hey.. Naruto." Minato said as he slightly nudged the sleeping Naruto
"What do you think of me being hokage again?" Minato asked as Naruto suddenly popped up his eyes as he heard the word "Hokage"
"Hokage?" Naruto abruptly sat up straight from his bed, "For real?" he added as he can't believe what his father said
"Hehehe, Yup..., why? You don't believe in your Dad's power?" Minato said as he was quite offended but laughed about the understatement
"I was the a Hokage back in the days.." Minato added
As Naruto heard about his father's new title, he litterally jumped out of his bed
"That's good Pops, keep the position to yourself as I made myself worthy of your succession" Naruto jumped his bed as he stroke a good guy pose
"Hehehe , You must know Naruto that, when I officially come to office, my name will spread out through other countries and of course about you " Minato said as he looked at Naruto with a serious face
"So what do we do, Dad?" Naruto asked as he jumped up and down
"I'm going to train you myself Naruto " Minato said as Naruto's face lit up like a 1000 kw light bulb
"Like really?" Naruto asked unbelievably, "Like what Itachi nii-san did with his hands in the park that lit up on different colors?" Naruto asked as he stopped using his mask name by Itachi
"Yup " Minato said as he eye smiled Naruto
"That'll be great Dad !" Naruto exclaimed as he pumped both of his hands in the air , "Can I even invite Sasuke to train with us?" Naruto asked really into the conversation
"Of course !" Minato as he smiled as he felt that Naruto again smiled at his best
"Now, get your sleep, we've got a big day tommorow" he said as he caught Naruto in mid air and made him lie on his bed
"Good night Dad" Naruto finally tucked in after the simultaneous jumping
"Good night too Naruto" Minato said as he looked tenderly at Naruto while giving him a kiss on the forehead before leaving him with his night light
Minato whom finally went to his room after scanning Naruto's from something different, got into his bed after changing his clothes into casual ones
"Gotta big day tomorrow" Minato thought as he closed his eyes
"Glad your doing well, Minato-kun after you escaped your fate" An uknown voice sunk in into Minato's consciousness that made him budge out his eyes in alertness and sat up straight from his bed to scan his surroundings from possible enemies
"Calm down, Minato-kun.." The unknown voice said as if he was ordering
"Waaa..." Minato reacted
"After all, I let you escaped your destiny.." The unknown voice said
"Don't tell me , your the..." Minato mumbled as he staggered to contain his nervousness
"I am , what you thought" The unknown voice said, "Though there's not so much to worry, For I am here to offer you an advice from the future" He thought
"But what about my life?" Minato said abruptly as he can't believe what the Shinigami said, "I was suppose to die that night " he said
"That's already already been paid by taking the immense Yang chakra you held from the kyuubi out of you" The shinigami said as Minato left a sigh of relief
"But why do you want to offer me an advice?" Minato replied in his thoughts, " The life you counterfeited is such a great deal to me already.. I can't possibly ask for more" he replied humbly
"Well you are quite right about that one, but what I am going to share to you is not just gonna benefit myself but for your family and the entire world as well" he replied with such authority
Minato gulped at the sound of their well being, for the Shinigami to be here, the advice must be so important that it can even shake the entire world
"Okay.. What is it?" Minato asked as the Shinigami sighed and cleared his throat for Minato to hear him clearly
"Sometime in the future, there'll be a kid whom'll take a huge grudge at Konoha, He will be aloof and desert the village... after a few more years he'll be the start of war that'll cause many of deaths to any nation possible" The Shinigami said grimly
"So you want me to prevent that boy, from having a grudge at Konoha to prevent him from deserting from Konoha" Minato concluded
"You're a genius boy, to be able to catch up" The Shinigami praised
"But why, do you want me to hear the course of the future?" Minato asked, still confused on the sudden share of knowledge
"It's because it's troublesome for me too, as a Shingami, I judge the dead to where they really deserve to go" the shinigami said as he sighed in irritation
"I've d already suffered enough from the 1st to the 3rd Great Shinobi war.. and I don't plan to indulge to it any further" The Shinigami irritatingly said as he shivered from the experience
"I'll do anything within my power to prevent that kid from falling into despair" Minato swore as he heard a faint sigh as the Shinigami left at his thoughts
After the conversation with Death, Minato, the 4th Hokage of Konohagakure finally went to sleep
DING-DONG ! The doorbell sang Naruto rushed towards the door to open it
"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted in shock, " Please come in" he implied
"Thank you." Sasuke said, still in a shy voice
As Naruto led Sasuke into the Dining Table, Sasuke was greeted by a shine of sunlight while a blond man sitting in front of the dining table illuminated more the Dining area than the sun
"Let's eat some breakfast Sasuke-kun" Minato invited him as he showed him the food on the table
"I'ved already ate my breakfast at home, Uncle Minato, but I think I'll take you on, on that offer" Sasuke said as his voice was more stable than last night
Minato on the other hand was shocked 'bout the sudden boldness, that Sasuke showed but was immediately shook up the trance as Sasuke went to the Dining table and sat in front of him while being accompanied by his son,
"Try this Sasuke." Naruto said as he handed Sasuke some cinnamons and a glass of milk which Sasuke accepted with more delight
Sasuke certainly became much more sociable than what he did yesterday as he smiled more often and even became himself when he was with Naruto or with his family
"Phhfftt"Naruto giggled at the sight of Sasuke accepting his suggestion with a smile
"What is it?" Sasuke said irritably as he thought that he was criticizing him as he saw Naruto laughing hysterically
"It's nothing, I'm just happy to see you be yourself" Naruto said as he controlled his voice from falling into the depths of being a lunatic,
Minato only sat their in front of them as they complemented each other with laughs and giggles, As Sasuke finished eating they gone outside to play as Naruto brought the toys, Minato bought for him
"Sasuke" Naruto said as he his hands are full of many toys of different kinds and shapes as Sasuke ran towards him to help him from the load which the both of them put on the back yard leaving Minato behind eating his breakfast
In less than 10 minutes they played various games and by that time ,Minato finally finished eating his breakfast as he leaned forward to spy on his son and his friend, when he slightly cranked up a smile at them
"Naruto finally had a friend at his age" he thought as he went to put the used plates to the sink as he disappeared in a yellow to only in front of Naruto and Sasuke
"Okay now you two, let's all recall ourselves why we gathered here" Minato said as he crossed his arms
As the two boys stopped to a halt from the game of tag as Naruto walked forward to catch up to Sasuke
"To play?" Naruto asked really innocently
"No, Naruto" Minato sternly said as he looked at Naruto, "Sasuke-kun, Do you like to learn, ninjutsu?" Minato suggested as he leaned back to Sasuke
"The glowing?" Sasuke said unknowingly about the correct term to use as Minato chuckled at his cute substitution of the word
"Yup.." Minato smiled at Sasuke with such tenderness
"Sure !" Sasuke abruptly shouted at the sound of the 4th Hokage giving him free lessons
"Hey !, I want to learn too !" Naruto abruptly shouted too
Minato chuckled at his son's sudden change of heart now that he knew a different approach for him to follow him rather than going into HOKAGE mode
"Okay..." Minato finally started the lesson from the very start by taijutsu, to dispelling genjutsu, to performing ninjutsu as Naruto and Sasuke sat in front of him to watch the demonstration and to listen the very lessons in it
And after that, 3 years have passed
-A mile away from the Gates of Konoha-
"Shina onee-chan" Karin whispered making Shina bumped up from her sleep
"What is it? Karin-chan?" Shina replied as she cleared her throat
"We're here" Karin said as her face lit up in a smile, "You are finally going to meet him, Shina onee-chan !" Karin girlishly said
"I guess I am" Shina said as her newly-cut hair hid her face in a blush, "I'm finally going to meet you" Shina thought in a hopeful voice as pictures of a boy flashed into her head
"We're here" Suigetsu said as they stopped in front of the gates as the Gate Guards scanned the carriage
"We're here from the Uzumaki clan" Karin said in a superior voice
After the two Gate Guards heard the clan where they belong, they abruptly stopped what they're doing and let them pass without even handing them a gate pass
"Wait for me" Shina thought as she leaned over the window to see the clear blue sky, "I'm already here" she thought
"Shisui..." Shina thought as he looked forward towards the city
