I do not own Naruto

I said I was revamping this and I mean it. So this story is starting over!

3 years later

It has been 3 years since the Sound invaded and well things had been quiet. A little too quiet for some. It was also when a certain blonde left and to those still there. Well, their home got dull for lack of a better term. They missed him for the excitement he would bring. To paraphrase a certain genius, life in Konoha was troublesome. There was just nothing going on except your basic missions. If he was to know what was coming over the next few years. Said genius would have traded it for the dullness he suffers now.

Konoha hospital/coma ward

Opening his eyes slowly but surely, the patient known simply as Teuchi began to wake up. Wrapped in severe bandages and confused to say the least, the man moves just enough to sound the bed alarm attached to him.

Of course, he wanted to punch it as it gave him a headache. But he knew better than that. Still though he hated being where he was with a passion. Never did he like hospitals too much. When the door opened though, he was in shock. Swearing she would never return, why is Tsunade's apprentice Shizune here? Did the older woman come back? Not only that but she looked to be the same age if not older than him. Last time he saw her she was 16-17 years old. She now appeared to be in her 20's.

Confusion to say the least in his gaze. He allows himself to be checked out as the pink haired girl approaches. Hearing the directions being given, this girl must be a trainee. But having made an appearance at the academy before Kyuubi was set free….

Kyuubi…

Memories of his wife, and newborn son came to him before he could blink. Wanting so desperately to ask about them, he starts wanting to tear at the covering on his face. Unable to do so as he was immediately stopped, he fights being put back to sleep.

"You need your rest, Teuchi-san." the younger girl smiled warmly. "Even if you did just wake up, you've been here in the ward a long time. Not everything is going to come back at once for you to do things."

Still trying to talk, he realizes how dry his mouth is despite the bandages covering his face and body. Everything felt weak and sluggish, not like how he used to be. Wanting to sit up and see himself, because this was not him. He still did his best to resist the sleep inducing jutsu that he was going under. The last thing he remembers as the darkness envelops him is a comment the pink haired girl makes. "You know his eyes are almost the same shade as Naruto's Shishou, could he be related?"

2 days later

Having been woken up off and on these last couple days, he was admittedly getting irritated. Feeling as he slept enough to last him a lifetime, he was ready to be awake for a long time. Getting ready to mutiny as he had been gathering his strength and chakra about him to break loose. He is surprised as the door opens to find Shizune and 2 other girls walking in. One the same girl from before. The other was a Yamanaka by her looks.

But it was one he does not recognize though. Having met many of the clans his years. He swore up and down he knew everyone. The young girl from before with the pink hair had to be of civilian descent as he didn't know her. But this girl was clearly one of the mind control users In fact if he didn't know better, he would think she was a female Iniochi.

"Ino, Sakura is going to keep an eye on the both of you while I check another patient all right."

"Yes ma'am." The man observed as the Yamanaka girl turned to the other. Sakura grinning as the door closed. They both turn to him and he watches as the girl he now knows as Sakura goes to the one called Ino.

"You ready Ino?"

"Yes, Daddy had me practice this for a long time under his supervision." The mind user replied. "This should help us identify him."

With that said, the man does his best to relax. Knowing full well that this could hurt but it would be worth it if it not only allowed him to communicate in some form. But he could find out about his wife and his baby boy. He desperately wanted to know if they were okay. Considering Kushina had tried to save him and their son by pulling the fox back into her. She had been weak after giving birth and it just…

It just didn't work out the way they had wanted, because already he can sense the part of the fox inside him. It was still asleep but he could sense a small amount of chakra, reaching out for its other half. God he hoped his son was ok. He hoped beyond hope that his wife, who had jumped to protect Naruto from Kyuubi's claws, was alive and with him.

Hope was all he had left.

Shutting his eyes he nods his head as the girls ask if he was ready. Wincing a bit in pain he feels himself being pulled into his own mind. The touch light and delicate, he can see the girl looking for him in the shadows of his memories.

Memories growing up, his friendship with the clans, teaching Kakashi, and most above all the love of his life Kushina. The memory that brings her up is the one that he can sense makes the girl pause in shock. '

It was the memory of him and his wife picking names for their son, as at the time Kushina had been 6 months pregnant.

You know Minato I like the name Naruto

You mean from that one book of Jiraiya's. He had responded.

Yeah not that perverted stuff he writes nowadays, the one book i liked. Let's call him Naruto ok.

All right Naruto it is.

Opening his eyes as the feeling disappears, he feels a little amused at the shocked expression on the blonde girl's features. The pink haired girl wondering what was going on, the blonde rapidly turns around and takes off out the door. If he remembers his protocol right, Iniochi or Ibiki should be coming to verify soon.

A little sound erupts from him, causing him to choke a bit. The other girl whirling on him, she put her hands to her hips much like a certain Sannin does when she is alert. But he could tell her eyes were now guarded. He can't blame her really, her co worker just ran out like the bats of Iwa were on her heels.

So of course she would be wary of who was in front of her.

Pounding steps coming down the hall, the Yamanaka girl returns, this time with another one. But this time it was his turn to be shocked. Inoichi was only a year older than him and he was 25…

So how the hell does he look to be in his 40's!

How long has he been out as he looks at the two Yamanakas. Because he remembered the last time he saw Iniochi, the man was showing off pictures of his 4 month old baby girl, who now that he thinks about it Her name was Ino!

Looking at her now the girl was at least 15 maybe 16 years old. This isn't possible. How long was he out. Hell, wasn't he supposed to be dead. And what about his fa-

NARUTO!

Remembering a statement Sakura had said when he first woke up that his eyes were similar to someone with the same name. The one she was talking about had to be his son! His son was alive! But yet if this girl was Ino next to Iniochi, it meant his son was 15-16 years old at least.

Lost in thought of what his own son could be like, he does not feel the mild pain or the presence of the older man deep in his mind.

Having heard what and who Ino saw in this man's mind. Iniochi had to personally see and verify himself if this was his old friend. Being one of the few who knew about Naruto's parentage, he had often done his best alongside Shikaku and Chouza to keep an eye on the boy. All three clans wanted to take him, but they couldn't. Or they should say we were not allowed to by the council.

A familiar feeling of rage coming over him as another person who should have looked after him came to mind, he sees the memories coming forth. One he recognizes all too well. Even seeing himself in some of them laughing with the man and others at various parties.

Bringing himself out, but not without making a note to ask about that dark aura he sensed in the back of his mind. His eyes meeting blue, he crosses his arms with a slightly amused grin. His daughter looking at him nods his head at her questioning look. Thus said girl can not help but laugh at his next comment.

"How do you do it your lordship?" He chuckled. "Coming back from the dead must not be an easy feat."

A subtle shrug given by his old friend, he turns to his daughter who is just staring in aplomb as Sakura looks puzzled.. "Sakura, gett Shizune, tell her to come here. Then go and get the Hokage. This is someone she needs to see." :

Even further confused to say the lease, the pink haired girl nods her head and leaves the room. Minutes later a curious dark haired woman approaches. Talking with her separately and quietly, the woman's eyes widen and look to the bed and the patient whose eyes shine with life. She looks to Ino, who nods her head. The girl had gotten her father to verify as she even thought she was crazy.

The man in the bed was Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage and apparently Naruto's father.
