And here comes another chapter! Let's go! How are you all doing? Good, I hope! All right, first things first, questions in the reviews, and seeing that there aren't any, I'll just cut to the chase.

This is something that I haven't mentioned yet, say a few PM's, but I have been brainstorming another Naruto X Oshi-No-Ko fanfiction, however, I am waiting for the manga to progress a bit further so that I can at least know how it will end, so it won't be for a while. I'll most likely start it when this story ends. But be on the lookout for it!

So, with that all said, enjoy!

Minato Uzumaki, a child prodigy if there ever was one. From a young age, he demonstrated great intelligence, no matter what subject matter he encountered. And with his father's strict training regiment, which all of his siblings also went through, much to Ruby's cringe, his body appeared older than he was.

"Look, its Minato-kun!" A girl gushed as she and her friends pointed at him and giggled. Minato returned their call with a small wave of his hand and a smile. Ah yes, and he was also incredibly polite too. Most of the girls at his high school forget that he is much too young for them, but that came with his tall height and very well-developed body for a boy his age.

"Minato-kun is such a hottie." Another girl giggled causing Minato to sweat drop but return a smile and a wave. Yes, that was his motto, smile, and wave. He was incredibly smart, athletic, built, and inherited his father's and grandfather's genes strongly. Added to the fact that he had inherited his mother's eyes, he gave off quite an exotic look. As many girls were saying, he was the perfect package.

"I wish Nee-sama was here right now." Minato thought with a sheepish look as he greeted everyone on his way out of the school. He might not show it, but he was glad that he had Ruby to ward off most of the girls. Now if only she didn't fight off Kane. Thinking of the redhead he blushed before he shook his head. Not only was he too polite and formal to tell people off, but he was also too meek at times when it mattered the most.

Today he had to walk home alone. His brother Aqua had some sort of after-party for that drama Kana was in. It was some sort of party to celebrate the wrapping up of the show. Minato pouted at that. He wasn't invited because he wasn't part of the crew or an actor in it. The only reason he even got on the set, to begin with, was because Aqua told him about it. As much as he was ashamed to admit it, he used his father's name to get through security.

"Forgive me, Oto-sama." He apologized mentally, but he wanted to see Kane act that day and to him, it was worth it. Her acting was the best, no, to him she shined on the set. However, he knew that the same trick wouldn't work twice. He was much too young for such a party.

"Ruby nee-sama is at the company." Ruby was over at Strawberry Productions, working on Idol related stuff. No doubt trying to help them find new Idols and such. And Sapphire was working hard trying to learn all she could, about Chakra, how to train in it, and eventually take over their family Dojo. He chuckled lightly as he recalled the countless challenges that would come from all over the world at this point.

"I still remember how Nee-sama beat that one guy, what was his name? Kenichi?" Ah yes, that was the boy's name. The boy was apparently a high schooler and his dojo had sent him as a challenger. Apparently, the kid was the strongest disciple of some Dojo called Ryozanpaku and his masters had sent him in to challenge himself.

"You will fight my daughter. Hime!" He recalled how his father gave one look at the boy and turned and called out to his sister to fight him. The boy was hesitant at first but fought nonetheless. On that day Sapphire proved just how strong she was. The world might not know and even Sapphire didn't know at the time, but she was born with exceptionally high Chakra reserves, higher than even his own. That Chakra over time strengthened her body, down to even the bones. Before she began her training at the age of eight, a single punch from her could knock a man twice her size out cold. But after she began her training? She was far more controlled, disciplined, and focused when in a fight.

"That boy sure had his ego hurt, losing to a ten-year-old." Minato chuckled before he sighed and smiled. All of his siblings had goals. Ruby wanted to be an Idol, Aqua might not show it, but he was interested in acting and production, and Sapphire wanted to take over the family Dojo and make Father proud.

"What do I want…?" He trailed off as he looked at the sky. What was his purpose? His goal? Protecting the family? Yes, he'd always do that, that wasn't a goal to him, that was an obligation that he vowed to uphold. Get a decent job? Well, he didn't know what he wanted to do. So lost in his thoughts he was that he didn't realize that he was already at home. He sighed as he entered the house.

"I'm home!" Minato called out. After not receiving a response, he blinked and walked over to his father's study and sure enough his father was there, most likely working on another novel.

"Oto-sama." He called out as he entered the study. Naruto looked up from his work and turned to his son and smiled. He set the pen down and swirled the chair around to face his youngest son.

"Oh! Minato! I didn't realize you were home! Let me get you something to eat!" Naruto spoke as he stood up and ran to the kitchen. Minato raised an eyebrow at that before he noticed the lack of his mother. He followed his father into the kitchen as the said man ran around like a headless chicken.

"Uh, Oto-sama, where is Kaa-sama?" He questioned him as Naruto stopped and thought about it before he realized.

"Oh yeah! Your mother is over at Strawberry Productions!" Naruto answered as he cooked some food. Minato blinked at that.

"Kaa-sama is going back to acting?" Minato questioned him. He knew that his mother for a brief time was an actor after her Idol career was over, but her interest waned when Sapphire was born and after he was born, she completely gave up.

"Oh no! She wanted to help Ruby with her Idol work! She's just gone over to help create the new Idol department over there." Naruto explained as Minato nodded. Yes, that made sense. With his mother's good knowledge of Idol work, she would be a valuable asset in helping them grow. And no doubt she still had many fans to this day.

"Ah, Oto-sama, can I ask you something?" Minato requested his father as he sat down in a chair while Naruto cooked some food. Naruto raised an eyebrow at that. His youngest typically never came to him for anything, he liked to do things on his own, so it made him happy to see the boy lean on him.

"Go on son, I'm listening." Naruto encouraged him as he gave him his undivided attention. Minato fidgeted in his seat as he mulled over his question.

"Oto-sama… what… is my purpose?" Minato questioned him, causing Naruto to blink before he hummed and took a seat as well, and crossed his arm.

"Hmmm, well, that is something for you to figure out, son. You must clear your own path and find your own way in life." Naruto answered as Minato sighed. He should have expected that from his father. He had always told all of them to follow their own dreams, never holding them back.

"Son, tell me, what are the things you like?" Naruto questioned him causing him to stop and think. The things he liked.

"Well, I, uh, I like my family, I like to read and study, and I…I love anime." Minato mumbled the last bit in embarrassment, but Naruto heard him and chuckled and ruffled his son's hair.

"Not wrong in that son. I know your sisters like anime as well. Anyways, what I'm trying to say is follow what your heart desires." Naruto explained as Minato slowly nodded in understanding. He supposed he'd have to find what intrigued him the most. And then he remembered the other thing he wanted to ask him.

"Oto-sama, can you teach me the art of sealing?" Minato questioned with a serious look as Naruto chuckled.

"Well, I can definitely teach you, but I'm not exactly an expert at it," Naruto responded. Trustfully, he was never the sealing type, he was always a Chakra powerhouse that was meant to fight on the front.

"Then…do you have Ojii-sama's works?" He questioned. Naruto nodded at that. When he had learned who his father was, one of the first things he did was to get his inheritance, which included the fabled Flying Thunder God Technique, a Jutsu that was classified as the Space-Time Ninjutsu, but between rebuilding the village, doing missions, and the war he never got around to studying any of it.

"I do." Naruto answered as he added some Chakra into his only arm, a seal began to appear before two scrolls appeared.

"These two scrolls hold all of my father's work." Naruto explained as he held the two scrolls, a sad smile on his face. Minato looked at his father and scrolls before he sent a small prayer to his deceased grandfather.

"I'm sure your mother has already told you this, but your grandfather was a genius. He was one the youngest graduates of the academy, mastered powerful abilities such as the Flying Thunder God and was one of the youngest Hokage in the village's history." Naruto continued with a smile before he looked at his son and extended the scrolls out to him.

"Your sister already told me that she wasn't interested in the sealing arts, so, these are yours, my son." Naruto offered. Minato's eyes widened before he slowly brought his hands up and gently took the scrolls as if they were precious artifacts.

"Are you…Are you sure Oto-sama?" Minato questioned. He began to doubt himself at that moment. This is what he wanted, but to know that he had such high expectations to beat…

"Son, you are intelligent, better than me or anyone else in the family. If anything, I think you're the only one that can achieve what your grandfather did. So, son, do you want to take on the mantel of the Yellow Flash?" Naruto questioned him with a grin as Minato held the scrolls tightly, determination in his eyes.

"Yes, Oto-sama. I shall become the next Yellow Flash!" Minato proclaimed. While this wasn't a dream he was looking for, it was a worthy goal for him to achieve. To achieve what his father hadn't. Naruto chuckled as he stood up and gave his son a hug.

"I know you will. Because you are Minato Uzumaki and there isn't a thing an Uzumaki can't accomplish when they set their minds to!" Naruto gave him his goofy grin. Minato chuckled at his father's antics before he noticed something.

"Uh, Oto-sama, the food is burning." Minato pointed out to which Naruto looked back and panicked.

"Oh, crap! Your mother is gonna kill me!" Naruto shouted as he ran back to the stove. If Ai found out that he not only burned food but ruined some of the kitchenware, she'd make him sleep on the couch!

Sometime later:

The sun had slowly started to set, causing the sky to become orange-colored. Naruto sat atop the roof of his house, relaxing as he saw the city slowly start to light up. Naruto sat and recalled some of the memories.

"And he never even knew." Naruto muttered to himself. He recalled how he had used a very potent Genjutsu on the man that had attempted to kill Ai all those years ago. However, after he had found out that Ai wanted to maintain her secret, he used another Genjutsu on the officers that had taken the man in.

The would-be killer was effectively declared insane, and the officers simply reported it as another attempted stabbing of some random citizen. That was the reason why the potential stabbing of Ai never got released to the public because Naruto had used his abilities to do so. After that, he began to use Shadow Clones to guard Ai. In the beginning, she had no idea, but she learned soon after. Ai blushed at the thought of his Shadow Clones following her.

"I really married a pervert…" Naruto sighed. Ai had quite an…imaginative mind when it came to how best to use his abilities in their sexual activities. Of course, there were some lines that he wouldn't cross, which often left her pouting.

"Using Chakra as a stimulant…I'm surprised she isn't pregnant again…" He spoke to himself. Apparently, according to his wife, adding Chakra to his… well… hands and the other bits was stimulating to her. He blushed at that thought as he recalled the first time he did as she asked.

"I am so glad I put those silencing seals." He nodded to himself. Yes, if hadn't the whole house would know of their…activities. He didn't want to mentally scare his children. He shook his head at that. He hoped that Sapphire and Minato wouldn't be as wild as their mother and at that got a dark look on his face.

"I'll kill the bastards who try to touch my daughters." He was a very protective father and he'd be dammed before he let any random guys date his daughters! He shook his head and calmed himself. They were much too young right now.

"Maybe I should have some Shadow Clones keep an eye out." He thought but shook his head. No, that would be a violation of his trust in them. He sighed as another thought came to his mind. And that was Aqua's and Ruby's biological father. His children might think otherwise, but he knew who the man was, after all, Ai herself had told him.

"If that bastard ever tries to harm any of them… I'll kill him." Yes, that was the vow he made on the day she told him. He didn't have proof as to if he had actually sent that man to kill Ai, so if anything, he'd be killing someone without proof. So, he chose to give the man the benefit of the doubt. But the second he did anything; this life was forfeit.

"Don't make me regret it." He said to himself. Some might say that he was going against his better judgment, but he knew what he was doing. There wasn't a force in this world that would stop him from protecting his family. And he'd burn this whole world down if it came down to it.

"Naru-kun!" Naruto broke out of his thoughts as he looked down to find Ruby and Ai waving at him as they approached the house. He smiled as he waved back at them before he jumped down from the roof to greet them.

"Hey there dear," Naruto said as she jumped into his arm and gave him a kiss. Ruby looked embarrassed by her parent's display of affection to each other in public.

"Mama, papa. Not out here…" She pouted as she crossed her arms. Her parents just chuckled and turned to her.

"Sorry, Ruby, but when you find your destined one, every second you spend away from them is agonizing." Her mother spoke as she gave her father another kiss to which Naruto chuckled and nodded. Ruby maintained her pout as she walked past them before she looked down at her hands.

"My destined one…" She whispered to herself. She remembered the only other man she had cared about, in a romantic way she assumed, was Gorou Amamiya. The doctor that had taken care of her for as long as she could remember. She didn't realize it when, but she had slowly fallen in love with the man. She shook her head.

"Yeah right, he'd be way too old by now, and even if we somehow got it to work when I come of age, father would skin him alive." Ruby thought with a chuckle. Maybe if Gorou was reborn as well, no, that would mean that he was dead, and she wouldn't wish that on him. He was a good man and wouldn't wish him death.

"Ruby-nee, welcome home!" Sapphire shouted as she happily hugged her older sister, breaking her out of her thoughts. She grinned as she ruffed her little sister's hair.

"Good to be home, Sap-chan! Also, you stink." Ruby pointed out as she pushed her sister back a bit. Sure enough, her younger sister was covered in sweat. No doubt that she was training as usual.

"Sorry, I was Chakra training." Her sister apologized sheepishly. Ruby shook her head but smiled looking at her sister's toothy grin.

"Come on, let's go take a bath!" Ruby suggested as the two sisters took off to the bath. After a long day, the two deserved that much at least.

"Long day?" Naruto asked Ai, who nodded.

"Yes. I forgot just how much work goes into organizing an Idol department, but it should be fine. Apparently, Ruby has a girl in her sights that might make a good Idol." Ai answered as she rested her hand on his chest.

"How was your day?" She questioned as Naruto hummed.

"Well, I was working on a novel based on my father. But I suppose the biggest highlight is that Minato wants to be just like his grandfather." Naruto answered with a chuckle.

"Does he now?" Ai questioned. Naruto simply nodded. Ai sighed before she smiled. She loved all of her children and to know that Minato now had at least one goal now set her mind at ease.

"I'm sure he will take after your father." Ai had complete faith in her youngest.

"That he will." Naruto chuckled. Ai then grinned a bit.

"I guess now we'll just have to wait for grandbabies from our children." She casually said causing Naruto to stiffen.

"I'll kill the bastards who try that with my daughters." Naruto spoke with conviction. Ai only laughed at that; he was such a mother hen at times.

"And that's just one of the things I love about you." She thought lovingly. Naruto was truly one-of-a-kind.

And cut! That's a wrap, folks! I know that this chapter is on the short end of the others, but as I always say, the update on this story are pretty consistent, heck, I think by the end of the month we'll be reaching 100k words lol!

So, this chapter was mostly Minato centric, and we will explore more on his character in later chapters! Now then, with all of that said, see ya next chapter, bye!
