Chapter Five: The Reaction and The First Meeting

"I'm the Jinchuuriki for the Kyuubi?!" Naruto repeated again this time with a louder voice almost yelling.

Naruto suddenly stood up and placed his hand on his stomach. Naruto's eyes started to water. Minato stood up as well and tried to place a hand on his son shoulder, but Naruto moved away, not wanting his father to touch him. Naruto starred up at him with a mixture of emotions in his eyes.

"I am a demon…" Naruto murmured.

"No, your not, Naruto" Minato tried, but Naruto wasn't listening.

"The villagers were right about me," Naruto continued.

"No, they aren't!" Minato grabbed both of Naruto's shoulders.

Naruto looked up at his father with watering eyes and a mixture of emotion, until one took over. Anger. Naruto narrowed his eyes at the elder blonde and did something Minato wasn't expecting. Naruto clenched his fists, then sent one into his father's stomach, which made Minato release his son and double over in pain.

"How could you seal the fucking Kyuubi in your own son?" Naruto screamed.

"Naruto…" Minato started.

"How-How could you?" Naruto said again softer this time.

Naruto started backing up slowly as Minato steadied himself. Minato noticed what Naruto was about to do.

"Naruto, wait…" Minato held out his hand, but it was too late Naruto had bolted.

Minato started to go after him but stopped. Naruto needed to let this sink in. He had hoped Naruto would let him explain why the Kyuubi was sealed inside him, but he didn't get the chance. Suddenly there was a puff of smoke beside Minato and a silver haired ANBU member was next to him.

"Do you want me to go after him, sir?" the masked man asked.

"No, follow him and make sure he is safe, but let him come home on his own terms," Minato ordered.

"Hai," the masked man nodded and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Minato sighed, Kushina, I wish you were here. You would have explained it better and maybe he wouldn't have bolted like that.

Minato decided to make his way home, he would deal with the shinobi later. He already gave the missions depart a list of shinobi who were not allowed to go on missions until he dealt with them, so there was no rush. He thought about flashing home but decided to walk. He needed time to think and Kakashi would ensure that Naruto was safe. He knew that Kakashi would let him come home when he is ready. Although Minato knew Naruto was safe from harm, he still worried about him. He truly didn't think Naruto would react that way. He was normally one to think first, like himself but at that moment, Naruto acted like his mother. He reacted first instead of thinking, just like Kushina.

Maybe there is a bit of her in him, Minato thought to himself.

Minato walked slowly back to his home to wait for his son. Minato walked up the stairs to door, silently hoping Naruto had already beat him home but that wasn't the case. He walked into the house, took of his shoes and made his way to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

I'll make Naruto's favorite, maybe that might help, Minato smiled to himself as he pulled Kushina's cookbook out and opened to the most used page.

Minato started making Naruto's favorite dish, Kushina's home made Ramen. Even if Minato didn't make it as well as Kushina did.

Several hours later, Naruto still hadn't come home and Minato was really starting to worry. Did something happen to him? Is Kakashi protecting him? What if something happened? Minato's head was filled with the worst-case scenarios. It was getting real dark out. He was thinking about going to look for his son, until he remembered that Kakashi always carried one of his special kunais. Minato could just flash to Kakashi and Naruto would be near by. Minato could check on his son, without him knowing he was there. Minato closed his eyes and searched for the kunai. Once he found it, he flashed to it.

He landed on a tree branch on one of the training fields next to Kakashi. The silver haired ANBU didn't seem fazed by the sudden appearance of his sensei. Minato looked over at his student, Kakashi had slid his mask to the side of his head. The blonde followed Kakashi's gaze and found Naruto sitting cross-legged at the edge of stream. Minato looked around and noticed they were at training ground seven. Strange for Naruto to come to this particular place, where Minato had several memories.

"He hasn't moved for several hours, maybe you should go talk to him, sensei," Kakashi suggested as he glanced over at Minato.

"I guess that I should. I was hoping Naruto would come to me, but it's getting late," Minato agreed.

The blonde hopped down from the tree and landed silently. He strolled over to where his son was sitting. Upon Minato's arrival, Naruto look up. His eyes were red and swollen. His cheeks were stained with tears and his nose still runny. Minato tried to take a deep breath, but his breath hitched.

"I talked to him," Naruto said quietly.

"To who, Naruto?" Minato asked.

"The Kyuubi," Naruto said as he turned his gaze to the river.

FLASHBACK

Naruto took off away from his father. He knew the elder would try to follow him but he was hoping that is father would just leave him alone. Minato had done enough already. He ran threw the village, down the stairs and headed to the training grounds. It was getting late so he prayed they would be empty. He picked a random one and headed there.

He slowed down to a walk and noticed his father hadn't followed him. He found a small clearing in a random training ground. He looked around and noticed the large stone in the center of clearing. He walked over and found it was a memorial stone. He looked and found a familiar name…

Uzumaki Kushina.

"Mom…" Naruto muttered.

The tears that had slowly stopped started forming again, "Mom… why did you let Otousan make me the Jinchuuriki?"

Naruto slid down to his knees. His eyes and nose started running again.

After what seemed like an eternity his eyes finally dried as they ran out of tears. The young blonde stood up and unconsciously made his way to the small stream. He sat down and crossed his legs. He sat there for a while starring at the clam water, until he got an idea. The blonde closed his eyes and tried to make his way into his mindscape.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a long hallway. It was dark except for the slight yellow glow coming from the dim light blubs in the ceiling. He looked down and noticed he was standing in ankle deep water. When he looked back up, he found himself drawn to one adjoining hallway. The water splashed at his feet as he walked to the hallway. He stopped at the opening and took a deep breath. He continued making his way until he came to a very large cage.

"So, my vessel has decided to grace me with his presence," a husky voice thundered out of the cage, followed by two red eyes.

"You're the Kyuubi?" Naruto's small voice replied.

"I am," the Kyuubi snarled.

"I'm sorry you have to be sealed inside me. I don't want you inside me more than you want to be here," Naruto said.

"What's this? A Jinchuuriki apologizing to a tailed beast?" the Kyuubi laughed.

"But since we are stuck with each other, might as well get to know each other," Naruto shrugged.

"I am the Kyuubi! The Nine Tailed Demon Fox! Why would I want to get to know a weak little kid like you!" the large fox laughed.

"Because you're stuck with me," Naruto replied simply.

"You're just a little kid! What makes you think you can control me!" the Kyuubi continued laughing.

"I have for twelve years so far," Naruto replied still remaining surprisingly calm.

The Kyuubi didn't reply.

"Besides we are a like, ya know? Everyone hates me, just like they seem to hate you," Naruto continued, "Maybe one day we can even become friends."

"Ha! Friends! Don't make me laugh, Kid!" the Kyuubi laughed.

Naruto walked up closer to the cage and found the Kyuubi lying down with his head resting on his front paws, "Do you have a name? Besides Kyuubi? Or is Kyuubi your name?"

"Hn," was the only reply.

"I have to go now," Naruto said, "Tou-san will start to worry about me. Maybe one day you will tell me your name."

END FLASHBACK

"Tou-san?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry I took off like that," Naruto said.

"Its alright, Naruto," Minato smiled.

The moon was bright and it shined off the stream. The two blonds sat there in silence for quiet some time. Minato took a deep breath as he decided to break the silence.

"Naruto, I wouldn't have made you the Jinchuuriki if I didn't have a good reason," Minato stated.

"I know, tou-san and I should have realized that earlier but I took off. I'm sorry. I didn't let you explain," Naruto looked down into his lap.

Minato sighed, "I honestly wasn't sure how you would react, so I was prepared for the worst. Although it didn't even cross my mind that you would punch me."

Naruto reached up and starched the back of his head, "Ehh, sorry about that."

Minato laughed, "I'm the Hokage, I think I can take a punch from my 12 year old."

"So, why did you seal the Kyuubi in me?" Naruto asked.

"Because I believed that you can control him. I trust you with him, because you are my son," Minato explained.

"Oh."

"Naruto, I also couldn't ask any of the parents in the village to do something like make their child a Jinchuuriki if I couldn't do it myself. It wouldn't be fair," Minato continued.

"I see," Naruto nodded.

"Your mother didn't want to make you the Jinchuuriki because she knew the burden it would be on you," Minato frowned at the memory of Kushina yelling at him that night.

"What do you mean, tou-san?"

"Your mother was the Jinchuuriki before you," Minato said.

"She was?" Naruto asked.

"Yes, so she knew full well what we were asking of you, but I knew you could handle it," Minato continued.

"I see."

"Also, I knew if a strong women like your mother could control the Kyuubi then you could too," Minato smiled and placed his hand on Naruto head to ruffle his hair.

"Wait if she was the Jinchuuriki, how did the Kyuubi attack the village? How did mom die?" Naruto asked from underneath his father's hand.

"It's a long story, Naruto. Its getting late, and you have a graduation exam to take," Minato smiled, "I'm sorry, Naruto. It's going to have to wait."

"Oh, but aren't you going out of town?" Naruto asked.

"Eh, I can push the trip back, because you are more important," Minato shrugged then gave him a smile.

Minato stood up and offered his hand to his son, who took it. Once they were both standing, Minato flashed them back to their house. Minato reheated the ramen he made for the two of them. As they ate dinner, Naruto would randomly make a face.

"What's wrong, Naruto?" Minato asked once he made another face.

"I keep trying to talk to the Kyuubi but it's like he is refusing my call or something, I can't quiet explain it," Naruto explained.

"I see, Kushina told me about this. Your connection in your mind is like a conversation. You both have to want to talk. Does that make sense?" Minato tried to explain.

"Yea, so he's just not wanting to talk?" Naruto asked.

"I guess so, but Naruto," Minato started.

"Yea?"

"Don't talk to the Kyuubi too much, he's not a good influence," Minato waved the chopsticks in his face.

Naruto gave a small laugh then agreed.

"Oh and one more thing," Minato's expression suddenly got serious.

"What?"

"The Kyuubi stays between you and me. It is not to be shared. If it got out that you were the Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki, it could put in you a lot of danger," Minato said with a very serious tone.

"Just like I would be if I was name Namikaze?" Naruto asked with a little bit of sarcasm and anger in his voice. Naruto did hate that he wasn't named after his father, even if it did make it easier to hide who he really is.

Minato sighed picking up on the anger, "Yes, Naruto just like that."

Naruto nodded, "But a lot of villagers know already, don't they? That's why they treat me so bad…. That's why I was beaten… "

"I believe so," Minato nodded, "After… that night when the Kyuubi attack and you became the Jinchuuriki, I made a law that forbid anyone from speaking about the Kyuubi."

"That's why the always whisper… at least now I know why," Naruto said playing with his food.

"I guess so," Minato agreed, "We will discuss this more later. Lets get to bed, you have a graduation exam in the morning."

Naruto nodded and helped his father clean up dinner. They both washed up and headed to bed.
