Here it is Team Minato! I hope everyone enjoys.
I do not own or make money off of Naruto.
Team Minato
It was another day filled with D-Rank missions for the recently formed Team Minato. For Rin and Obito the D-Rank missions were disappointing for the newly minted Genin but for the third member of Team Minato it was infuriating and insulting to go from A-Rank mission with an occasional S-Rank to D-Rank. Young Kakashi had not taken the news very well, Minato secretly labeled his reaction as throwing a temper tantrum.
The white haired boy had stomped his foot and glared at the Hokage and informed everyone in the hearing distance of his shouts that he was wasted on such childish missions and demanded to be given a proper mission. The best part was that he used language that would make a Sailor blush with shame in his attempt to emphasize his point.
When Minato had questioned him on where he had learned such language he was told how several of his former teammates had instructed him on how to properly swear. Team Ino-Shika-Cho still twitched every time they saw any of the four members of Team Minato after Minato had informed Kushina of the trio corrupting her cute Kakashi.
Yes, today was another blissfully quiet day of nothing but mind numbing D-Rank missions.
Minato sighed contentedly as he peeked over his book at the three Genin weeding a villager's garden as he rocked blissfully in his hammock. The best part of D-Ranks was that the Jonin-Sensei was able to sit back and relax as their young minions toiled away and worked on their team work. For Minato it was like a long awaited vacation from back to back S-Rank missions.
It was nearing noon when the three teammates had finally finished with their gardening.
Minato was alerted to the completion when he felt a shadow covering his book. He looked up to the glaring goggled covered face of Obito just inches from his own.
"We are done," The Genin informed him sulking. "All you did was read while we did all of the work."
Minato smiled at the boy recalling the words of his own sensei, words that he would not repeat to his own students, right before he went to bath house for his usual peeping routine.
"D-Rank missions are meant for you to learn how to work as a team. They are supposed to be easy and safe enough that you require little to no supervision. I am here to make sure you are bonding." Minato did not add that he was enjoying every moment of being able to relax during the D-Rank missions.
Standing to the side Kakashi frowned at him in a way that made Minato feel like the preteen knew about how much he was enjoying lazing around and he felt guilty for his small indulgence.
"How about we call it a day and go back to my place for lunch?" Minato suggested knowing that Kushina would be delighted to have his little ducklings as she called them home for lunch. Kushina loved having the three of them around and would admonish him any time she felt he was too hard on the trio. When Obito had been attacked by the Tora the escaped cat that belonged to the Daimyo's wife Kushina had made him sleep on the couch for a week for the scratches on the boy's face.
The three happily agreed to accompany their Sensei home. Though Kakashi only responded with a curt nod of his head towards his Sensei who could not tell what sort of emotions he hid behind his mask. Minato just assumed the boy was happy.
When they arrived at his house they were greeted by a happy Kushina who quickly told the dirty Genin to hurry up and take baths before going to the kitchen to prepare lunch for them.
When lunch was finished they all sat down to eat with Kushina questioning about what they had been up to.
"Minato you have a package from Jiraiya," Kushina told Minato after the meal was finished. She had a slight frown on her face, even though it had been a long time ago she had not fully forgiven the Sannin for some of the advice he had given Minato on their first date.
Minato quickly opened the package and was delighted to discover books.
Here are copies of my latest work. Please share them and tell me what you thought about them. It has taken me years of research to be able to write them I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
Jiraiya
Minato's face broke out in a broad grin. He quickly grabbed three of the orange books and handed one to each of his students.
"These are books by my Sensei," Minato told his team happily. "So for the rest of the day go home and read these books and tomorrow we can discuss them when we meet up."
The three took the books all knowing the reputation of Jiraiya and anything he wrote would help them on their way to becoming great Shinobi. Though they would not say it out loud both Obito and Kakashi felt anything was better than doing boring D-Rank missions.
Shortly after the trio left Minato was summoned by the Hokage and was not able to read the book himself.
As soon as she got home Ren went to her room to read the book she had been given. About ten minutes after she started reading she dropped the book like it had burnt her. She gazed at the book for a minutes before picking it up with a paper towel and placing it into a bag. Then she hid it under her bed hoping that no one would find out that she had something like that.
When he had gotten home Obito had lazed around playing games and generally goofing off. It was not until bedtime that he recalled the book he was supposed to read. Digging it out of his pack Obito laid down on his bed to read. He managed to nearly finish the first two chapters before his face heating up and turning a bright shade of red. He embarrassedly took the book and stuffed it back into his pack to afraid to continue read it. What had his Sensei been thinking giving him this book?
That night Obito had vivid dreams that involved Ren and would have difficulty looking at his childhood friend for weeks to come.
After removing his sandals and neatly placing them beside the door Kakashi placed his pack into the closet and sat down in a chair pulling out the orange book given to him by his Sensei. Soon he was completely engrossed in the book unable to put it down. At some point in time he had grabbed a yellow highlighter and marked the phrases he did not quite understand. Soon the sky outside darkened into night and before he knew it the sky was slowly turning orange as the morning sun began to raise.
Realizing that it was morning Kakashi quickly got ready to meet his team. He walked quickly to their usual meeting spot his nose still firmly planted in the book reading.
For the first time he arrived late with even Obito arriving before he did. Busy reading the orange book he missed the horrified looks his teammates were giving the book held in his hand.
Minato gave his team a warm smile his eyes shadowed with heavy circles from a night without any sleep.
"How did you enjoy the book?" He asked.
Ren thrust a paper bag towards her Sensei her face flaming red.
"I can't read this," She told him firmly her small hands trembling.
Minato took the paper bag looking at the small girl puzzled. What could cause the normally level headed Ren to react like this?
Obito handed his book over to his Sensei next his face even redder then Ren's. He could not even look at his teammate without feeling guilty about his dreams from the night before.
Minato was even more puzzled by Obito's reaction to the book. If the book was anything like Tales of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi Obito would have really liked the book.
Looking at his last student Minato was happy to see the boy still reading the book ignoring everything around him.
"Kakashi, what did you think?" Minato asked.
Kakashi looked at Minato over the edge of the book.
"I do not quite understand everything in it," The prodigy admitted. "Could you explain it to me?"
Minato smiled in understanding, if someone as advanced as Kakashi had problems understanding it the other two most have found it too difficult to read.
"Sure why not tell me what you did not understand." Minato said happy to help out his students. It was rare that he was able to help Kakashi in anything.
"Well here it says 'He sheathed his throbbing sword into her glistening secret hole.' And I do not understand what it means. Also it keeps talking about love nectar, honey pot and shooting white milk." Kakashi explained his voice puzzled.
Minato's mouth dropped open the two books in his hands falling to the ground. What did Kakashi just say?
Minato reached over and snatched the book out his student's hands. He quickly began scheming passages noting how neatly Kakashi had highlighted areas he did not understand. It quickly dawned on Minato that he had assigned a porn book to his students to read.
"I am so sorry," Minato apologized to his students. "I did not know this was that kind of book. I thought it was about a Gutsy Shinobi."
Minato looked at his students. Ren stood looking the ground embarrassed, Obito stood farther away from Ren then usual shooting her occasional glances before turning redder and looking away only Kakashi seemed normal if a bit puzzled.
"What is wrong?" Kakashi asked. "Can you explain what it the book meant?"
Looking at Kakashi's puzzlement he knew he had to enlighten the book or he would find someone who would. God help him if he brought the book to Kushina.
"It was about sex." Minato stated bluntly.
"What's sex?" Asked the twelve year old.
Minato looked at Kakashi surprised. Surely someone had explained it to him.
"The birds and the bees?" Minato asked.
"What?" Kakashi said even more puzzled. Nothing in the book had anything to do with birds or bees.
Minato could feel sweat forming on his back. Had anyone given the boy the talk?
"Do you know where babies come from?" Minato asked hoping that the boy knew something.
Puzzled at the question Kakashi had no idea where the conversation was going.
"They come from a special cabbage patch that only people who want to be a Mommy and Daddy can find." Kakashi explained recalling the answer his father had given to him.
When he heard Kakashi's explanation Obito started laughing at his teammate. Only little kids thought silly things like that. Even Ren smiled at Kakashi's explanation.
Kakashi glared at his teammates. He had no idea why they laughed but it did not make him happy.
Understanding dawned on Minato, he was going to have to give Kakashi the talk and he could not help but feel cold dread. He was not prepared for this. Maybe the village could conveniently be attacked and he could slip out of this duty.
"Ren and Obito you have the day off. I will see you here tomorrow." Minato said before turning to Kakashi. "Kakashi you and I will be spending the day having The Talk."
Minato watched as Obito and Ren started to walk off in opposite directions and recalling an important detail.
"Obito Ren." He called out. "Please do not tell Kushina about this."
The pair shivered simultaneously, Kushina would murder their Sensei if she discovered he had unknowingly given them dirty books. They both nodded their heads and hurriedly left the training field.
After they were gone Minato started to explain the ins and outs of baby making to his student. It took about five hours for Kakashi to be fully satisfied with his answers including what many of the neatly highlighted phrases in the book meant.
Minato stumbled into the nearest bar ordering the strongest alcohol they had before proceeding to drink himself into oblivion. The details his student had asked and his constant use of the orange book for a referral had been gruesome. The Jonin just wanted to forget the entire ordeal. Later that night team Ino-Shika-Cho would dump his intoxicated body at his front door ring the doorbell and runaway.
After his Sensei had left Kakashi silently sat where his Sensei had left him. Now understanding what the book had been about he stared at the orange cover. It had been highly intriguing and he had loved it even after learning about the books full content.
He gingerly picked up the three books his Sensei had left behind and carefully placed them into his bag. That night he would reread the book again and over the years he would become known to always carry a copy with him.
Yes Icha Icha Paradise would never stray far from the young Shinobi's hand.
I hope everyone enjoyed!
