Chapter 17: Just Some Introductions

After the whole backstory Hiruzen was so happy that not only his successor and his wife but his student has also returned back with healed broken heart. Everything was going to get better he hoped.

Kushina: So how are children?

Hiruzen: They are alright. Soon you can meet them after a council……

Minato: Meeting can wait sensei, we really want to see them with our own eyes that they are alright.

Hiruzen: Sure I'll reschedule the meeting, at this moment Shoko & Shogo would be with Biwako and Naruto would be training with Sasuke.

They decided to meet with the twin first then all together meet with Naruto. While the rest of them had left to go to the hospital for check-up with Tsunade.

Sarutobi Residence

From interrogation all the to Hiruzen's house both parents were so scared that their kids might hate them or don't understand all the reasons as they were only 6 years old. Their hearts started to race faster and faster with each step they took towards them.

When they saw their children they burst into tears with happiness seeing them jumping around Biwako with their results in hand as Shogo came in 3rd position and Shoko came in 5th position. They are so happy and loved Biwako like a grandmother and she loved them back like her own grandchildren equal to Konohamaru.

Hiruzen: Hey kids what are you up to?

Shoko: Grandpa Hokage we are the top 5 students in our class, see (showing him her results).

Hiruzen: That's great I am so proud of you both. Hey listen I have a surprise for you both today.

Shogo: Really, are you going to personally train us today, tell please.

Hiruzen: No it's something even better.

Shogo: Yes you are going to take me as your apprentice.

Hiruzen: Shogo stop guessing and let me show you.

Shogo: So it is a thing huh.

And that moment Minato & Kushina entered and met face to face with the children yelling surprise.

Shogo: Grandpa Hokage, you bought us two human as a present (confused).

Shoko: You do realize that human trafficking is illegal right (question Hiruzen)?

Hiruzen: What no they are your parents Minato & Kushina Uzumaki.

Biwako, Shogo & Shoko were surprised for a moment.

Shoko: Are they going to adopt us?

Hiruzen: No they are your birth parents.

Shogo: So they left us?

Biwako: How are you alive?

They explained themselves to others and hugged while crying.

Kushina: Wow I can't believe how much you have grown.

Minato: I can't wait to hear all the wonderful stories you have for us.

Shoko: Who are they?

Kushina: They are your little brother Satoshi & sister Kyoko.

Shogo gently hold his sister in his arms and Shoko did the same with her brother who immediately started to cry in their arms.

Shoko: What did we do? They were just sleeping a moment ago?

Minato: Don't worry they just doesn't know you guys yet. Give them some time they'll come around.

Shogo: I sure do hope so because I'll be the best big brother, you'll see.

Kushina: I'm sure you'll be.

Everyone spend lunch time together talking to each other sharing memories.

Kushina: We have something more to tell you guys, you know.

Shogo: More big surprises.

Shoko: Come on what can be bigger than us being children of forth Hokage.

Minato: You have a big brother.

Shogo: Really how big.

Minato: 1 minute.

Shogo: That is not big.

Shoko: Shut up Shogo, so tell me who is he?

Kushina: His name is Naruto.

Shogo: Uzumaki?

Shoko: Wait we are Uzumaki now too.

Shogo: Weird blonde kid?

Shoko: Didn't see that one coming.

Shogo: Guy with no self-esteem that Uzumaki.

Minato: Don't know the characteristics but his name is Naruto Uzumaki.

Kushina: Why did you call him weird (worried)?

Shoko: Grandpa Hokage didn't tell you?

Shogo: You'll see when you see him.

Now both the parents started to get worry about Naruto. They didn't know what kind of life Naruto is living and Hiruzen won't tell because he himself doesn't know much because the seals protecting Naruto's house won't let the crystal ball spy on them. The only person who knows something about Naruto was Mikoto.

Minato & Kushina promised to Shogo & Shoko that they will return to them before dinner hopefully Naruto would be with them.

Kushina is now currently being hugged by Mikoto and Minato was hugged by his team.

Kushina: So tell me how have you been?

Mikoto: Great! I have 2 sons whom you have already met before when they were little and a daughter Akame who is a month older than your twins.

Kushina: Wow she looks like you. Cute!

Mikoto: Satoshi & Kyoko are cute themselves too.

Rin: Yeah can I hold the twins at once.

Kushina: No, they just got to sleep, sorry but I don't want them waking up to soon.

Rin: its okay I'll carry them some other time.

Mikoto: I guess first you want to talk about Naruto.

Kushina: Yeah how he has been?

Mikoto: It's pretty rough on him because the villagers know about the Jinchuriki and every villager hate him for that. But the best part is he didn't snapped once and would become a ninja one day.

Kushina: Where is he now?

Mikoto: That's a problem because he doesn't like strangers which are the whole village except my son Sasuke.

Then Mikoto told everything about Naruto to Kushina and Minato.

Kushina: They will pay (her anger sky rocketed).

Minato: Kushina calm down, lashing out at everyone is not the right answer (swallowed his anger). Last time I was angry I killed 1000 people of village of the land of earth and made the whole village my enemy and now look he wasn't able to get any help from his godfather and the Hokage. Trust me I want to lash out at them to but violence is not the answer. We have to make the villagers believe in him, like you did.

Kushina: But my little boy (crying)…

Minato: I know we'll give him the happiest life and all those who made him his enemy will regret it (crying while hugging his wife).

After the talk they moved forward towards Naruto's location.

Uzumaki's Residence

Minato & Kushina and their twin entered their land with Mikoto & Akame.

Sasuke was cleaning the table for light snack outside and Naruto was preparing the snack inside the house.

Mikoto: Hey Sasuke, what are you doing?

Sasuke: Cleaning table for some snacks after training; who are they?

Mikoto: Sasuke say hello to the forth Hokage and his wife and children.

Sasuke: Hello, I thought you were dead (suspicious).

Minato: It's a long story.

Kushina: So where is your roommate?

Sasuke: Inside (1 minute pause), you are here hoping to meet with him?

Kushina: Yes (still smiling).

Sasuke: Well you can't (dismissing them), bye.

Mikoto: Sasuke watch your manners.

Sasuke: Come on mom, you and I both know that he don't like meeting people.

Mikoto: They are his parents. Sasuke try to understand.

Sasuke: Oh! Didn't see that one coming. But he still won't understand any reason you will give him to talk to you.

Minato: Could you try to put on good word for us?

Sasuke: Oh the Adults in this village! Can't understand a single thing.

They saw Sasuke acting like a drama queen which was quite a shock to Mikoto seeing his son act like this.

Sasuke: He is like a deer, don't approach him let him approach you and please don't rush with anything.

Kushina: You act like a younger version of your mom.

Mikoto: Wait seriously, don't tell me I used to act like him.

Kushina: Yes you did, yes you did.

Sasuke: Oh and lastly whatever you do, do not tell him that you came back from dead.

A minute later Naruto came out of the house with a tray full of snacks and two glasses of milk. His open hair grew back to shoulder length and he looked very good when wind blew his hair side-ways.

Sasuke: You should really go bald again; it messes with your training.

Kushina & Mikoto: Like hell he should (snapped at Sasuke's comment).

Naruto: Sasuke who are they (stuttering & panicking)?

Sasuke: Pay them no mind they just came to meet with you.

Naruto quickly placed the tray on the table and go in a sorry position.

Naruto: I am sorry for whatever I did to you sir and mam.

Minato: Don't be sorry we are just here to say 'hi' to you.

Kushina: Yeah you don't have to be sorry (controlling her tears).

Sasuke was shocked to see Naruto letting his parents hug him without any discomfort. Mikoto was not at all surprised as she knew no matter what happens a child could not refuse love getting especially from his parents.

Naruto was not sure about this slight warmth generating inside his body. He didn't know what this was as he didn't read it in any books in the library. This hug was not any other hug he got from Sasuke. All he knew that he felt comfortable for the first time.

The hug went for 3 minutes and they finally broke it. Both Minato & Kushina were so happy that Naruto didn't run away like he used to with others. They were on their knees smiling at him.

Naruto: Your face looks familiar (Pointing at Minato).

Minato: You might have seen my face in the great Hokage Monument. I am the forth Hokage.

Sasuke smacked his face while saying you idiot.

Mikoto: Watch your mouth that is Lord Forth you are speaking to.

Sasuke: I don't care about his status, he is an idiot who can't do anything right.

Minato: What do you mean (realizing his mistake)? Naruto?

Naruto was standing still with his eyes wide open in shock.

Mikoto: Oh, Naruto is afraid of ghost.

Kushina: Sweetie, hey I don't even know this man but I assure you that I am alive since the day I was born. I just met the guy (trying to throw Minato on the explosives).

Minato looked hurt after hearing Kushina's words.

Sasuke: It's no use in talking to him now, he has already fainted. He is really scarred of ghosts and now he won't come near you.

Kushina: It is your fault Minato (glaring). Couldn't keep your mouth shut from bragging in front of others

Minato: I'm so sorry (head hung low).

Sasuke: Well it was great meeting you, now I request you to take a leave before he wakes and scream.

Kushina: Alright we'll come tomorrow.

Sasuke: No we, only you can come. I can't chase him around the village all day.

Minato: I think…..

Kushina: Okay only I will come.

Minato: But…

Kushina: No buts. You can meet him in your own time, I can't let you ruin my chance to be in his life like you did. For Naruto I can't be associated with a ghost. For him I could even divorce you (totally serious).

Mikoto: Damn, Kushina is not pulling any punches.

Minato: Alright you can meet alone but please don't divorce me (defeated).

Kushina: Thank you.

Sasuke: Well now then that's settled I am going to take Naruto to his room (lifting up Naruto).

Kushina: Yes, let's see his room.

Sasuke: No you can't enter our house because of the seals. And if you break them he'll know.

Kushina: The seals used are different than usual. Is there a new fuinjutsu user in the village?

Sasuke: Naruto created it.

Both Minato & Kushina were shocked to know that their son knows fuinjutsu to this level.

Kushina: Alright I'll see you in the afternoon.

Sasuke: No we have our academy. How about evening?

Kushina: That sounds good.

With that they left the residence to meet Shoko & Shogo.

In the night around 9 pm Naruto woke.

Naruto: Sasuke did I really meet the forth Hokage who is supposed to be dead.

Sasuke: Sure you did.

Naruto: Now I know why it felt weird when they hugged me. My body was telling me to stay away from them.

Sasuke: This could be fun (an evil grin formed on his face).
