CHAPTER TWO

"Stronger than you?" Kakashi replied.

"A lot stronger?" Rin said.

"That's not possible," Kushina said.

"Its possible and its true," Minato replied.

"How do you know?" Jiriaya asked.

"Well first off he's got shit load of chakra," Minato explained, "and it's the presence he gave off. It was frightening."

Jiriaya nodded in understanding.

"I haven't feared another shinobi in a very long time," Minato said closing his eyes, "but this man, he's one everyone should fear. He's powerful and dangerous."

"Where is he now, Minato?" Fugaku asked.

"He's outside the village," Minato replied, "I felt the younger one's chakra, they aren't far but they are outside the village. I've sent two ANBU to watch them and I've also heightened the village security tonight. I am going after him in the morning. I can't have a man like that around my village without knowing who he is."

"I'll go with you sensei," Kakashi said.

"I will as well," Jiriaya nodded.

"If all of us go, he can't take down all of us at once," Obito said.

"Unfortunately, Obito," Minato said with a small smile, "I think he can."

No one said a word but just stare at their Hokage. Minato wasn't scared very often but now it seems he is terrified of who ever this other blonde haired man was.

oOo

The next day, Naruto and Boruto had gotten up at dawn. Naruto took his cloak from his son and sealed it in a scroll. He didn't need to be explaining that just yet.

"I need any weapon you are carrying, Boruto," Naruto said and when Boruto hesitated, "You aren't in trouble if you are carrying some, I just need them now."

Boruto gave in and handed his father a few kunai that he was carrying on his persons in various spots then asked, "Why?" when he saw his father removing all of his weapons and sealing them in a scroll.

"I'll explain in a moment, Boruto," Naruto said, "let me finish here so we can get on our way."

Boruto nodded and watched his father finish sealing all his items into various scrolls until finally getting down to one scroll, which he placed in a very small pouch on his back. Naruto stood up and stretched. Sleeping against a tree with a teenager in your lap wasn't super comfortable.

"Are you ready?" Naruto asked.

Boruto nodded and they started heading towards the village.

oOo

"Are we ready?" Minato asked to his small group.

They all nodded. Kakashi and Jiraiya as well as Obito had kept to their word to join him at the gate at dawn. There were a few other ANBU.

"Hokage-sama," an ANBU called as he landed in front of the gate.

Minato turned around finding one of the ANBU he sent yesterday, "yes?"

"The target is moving and heading this direction," he explained.

"Does he know that he is followed?" Minato asked.

"I believe so, sir," the ANBU replied, "but he knew we were watching him all night and even let us into the barrier he created around him and his son."

"What?" Minato asked then shook his head, "Can you take me to him?"

"Yes, sir," the ANBU nodded.

"Good," Minato gave a short nod then turned towards his team, "the target is heading here we are going intercept him before he reaches the village. Lets go."

oOo

"So why did you seal our weapons?" Boruto asked a while into their trip to the village.

Unbeknownst to the two blondes, Minato's team had caught up with them and was watching them from the trees.

"Yesterday when we appeared in the Hokage's office, I appeared as a threat," Naruto explained, "so, when we get to the village I don't want the guards to automatically assume I am threat to the village so the less weapons that are visible the less of threat I may seem."

"No matter the weapons, you are still a threat," Minato said as he landed about forty feet front of the duo.

Naruto instinctively pushed Boruto behind him, however five ANBU plus Kakashi, Obito and Jiriaya circled them in a battle stance.

"Tch," Naruto clucked.

"Otou-san?" Boruto called with worry.

"Its alright, Boruto," Naruto said.

Minato glance to his two students, the man's presence seemed to have an effect on the two younger ones. Obito was breathing a little harder and Kakashi was stiffer than normal.

"I'm not a threat to the village," Naruto explained.

"Who are you?" Minato asked.

"I'm not from around here, but I need your help, Hokage-sama," Naruto explained.

Minato narrowed his eyes, "again, tell me who you are."

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto and this is my son, Uzumaki Boruto," Naruto said.

"Where are you from?" Minato asked intrigued by the name Uzumaki.

Naruto just shook his head, "please, I will explain everything. Just not here."

"I can't let you in the village without knowing that you aren't a threat," Minato said.

"I know," Naruto said, "I know you are protecting your village and your people."

Minato glanced over to Jiriaya to see what his reading on this Naruto was. Naruto followed his father's line of sight behind him and saw Jiriaya for the first time. Naruto couldn't stop his reaction. His body softened and his expression turned to sorrow and grief. Jiriaya noticed the effect he had on the blonde but couldn't place it. He made a mental note to figure out why later. After a moment Naruto collected himself and turned back towards his father.

Naruto thought hard about what he could say to his father that would get him to trust Boruto and himself. It would have to be something that wouldn't reveal who he was but that could get his help.

"Your wife Uzumaki Kushina is my family," Naruto said going out on a limb hoping that would work.

It didn't.

In a flash Minato attacked.

Shit. Naruto thought.

Naruto grabbed his son and jumped out of the way before Minato landed on them. Naruto landed gracefully in a tree still holding his son.

He created a shadow clone and handed him his son, "Get as far away from here as possible, then create a barrier hiding you and him."

This is going to get in a lot of trouble Naruto thought but pulled out one of the Yondaime's kunai and handed to Boruto, "if my clone expels throw it and I'll be in a flash. Understood?"

Boruto nodded then his clone and son flashed away.

He's protecting his son first, Minato thought.

Naruto turned towards the group of people on the ground. He was pissed. They put his son in danger. Taking a deep breath and collecting himself as Shikamaru had once instructed him to do, he then created two shadow clones and sent them off. He would have to fight without Kurama's help this time around. He had done it before so he could do it again. Finally he jumped down and stood direct of Minato.

"I don't want to fight you," Naruto said.

Minato slid into a fighting stance, "if you continue to threaten my wife and village, you'll have no choice."

Naruto did the same.

Kakashi watched the two get into their stances then glanced over to Jiraiya, "why is sensei fighting? He just said he doesn't want to fight him."

"He's scared," Jiraiya shook his head, "I don't know what he's scared for. The village? His life? He's not thinking straight."

Minato jumped into action, throwing every taijutsu move he had at the man, but it wasn't enough. Naruto blocked every move, but he wasn't counter attacking.

"Please, just listen to me," Naruto plead.

"Prove that you aren't a threat," Minato said.

Naruto sighed, "Fine."

Naruto pushed away and landed a few feet away. Surprising everyone, Naruto knelt down and held his hands up.

"I am not a threat, Hokage-sama," Naruto said, "I am just needing your assistance. Please."

"Minato," Jiraiya called.

Looking over, the white haired man continued, "listen to him."

"Alright," Minato gave in and relaxed, "call your son back."

Naruto nodded and sent a signal to his clone to transport back to him. A few seconds later, the clone and his son reappeared.

Boruto ran to his father, "Tou-san."

"Boruto," Naruto held his son for a moment and pushed him back, "did you think the Yondaime could beat me?"

"Uh," Boruto said, "well…"

Naruto chuckled and held out his hand, for which Boruto place the three-pronged kunai.

"Where did you get that?" Minato asked eyeing the kunai.

"I told you I would explain everything," Naruto smiled, "just not here."

Minato nodded and the group headed back to village. Boruto didn't let go of his father the whole time. He was terrified of the current Hokage, completely unaware of the extent of Naruto's strength. The group headed directly to the Hokage tower then up to the Hokage's office. Naruto felt a little nostalgic walking into the office. It had been a long time since he was on this side of the Hokage's desk. Minato dismissed the ANBU but his sensei and two students stayed.

"Explain," Minato ordered as soon as he sat down.

Naruto took a deep breath, "My name is Uzumaki Naruto and I am your son."
