Mindscape or flashback

A displacement of chakra notified Minatsuki that the privacy seal had lowered. Closing her eyes, she buried her face more into Kousei's hair, she could feel the curiosity coming of the child.

"It'll be alright Mama," her son whispered just for her. Minatsuki didn't answer, she just listen to the doors open and close, three signatures stood in front of the Sandaime's desk. The ANBU returned and became the silent watchers once again.

"Hokage-sama," the three voices said simultaneously. She recognized one as Sakumo. The other two were so much younger than was she remembered. She knew one from their years of collaboration and the other from a visit with her seal.

"Thank you for bring them so quickly Sakumo," another flare of chakra later, and the privacy seals went back up.

"Hai," the white haired man's response was short as his gaze moved to the woman sitting to the side, right beside the Hokage's desk, her face buried in her son's crimson red hair. His worry increased at the way she attempted to her hide herself, he could detect the slightest traces of the scent that he had smelt before, fear.

While Sakumo was having his own inner conflict, the younger shinobi next to him were full of curiousity. Kushina felt a strong sense of curiosity after waking up from a day or two of unconsciousness, realizing that the fox that had been sealed inside her was no longer there. But due to its disappearance, she had been put on desk duty, waiting for her chakra system finish healing. To be summoned by the Hokage unexpectedly had her itching with curiousity. Had they finally been able to find the fox? If so, why was Minato here then? She had been teaching her lovely boyfriend the art of Fūinjutsu and the blonde male had already surpassed her, his sensei helping him where she couldn't. But even with all that, it didn't explain why Sakumo-sensei was here.

Minato though had a faint clue of what might be going on and was praying that his hopes were tight. He had only caught a singular gilmpse of the blonde woman and some of her child before he had been sent on a short mission. Now that he was back, he could get a full good look at her, there was some red flowing through her blonde hair but her son was a full red head like Kushina. He felt her chakra and was able to conclude that this was indeed the woman that Sakumo had brought back.

The Sandaime Hokage saw the hope and curiousity in his eyes and decided to let them stew for a moment before he felt a harsh pinch come from a tiny arm to his side reminding him that he was also making another party stew.

"I have summoned you two here because a couple of days ago, Jōnin Hatake here fouond and mother and child near the board of Hi no Kuni during a skirmish with Suna-nin. After some extensive reviews of her mind and some documents in a hidden seal, so she is not a shy as well as her child. Instead, they had been sent to Konoha for protection and to sheek shelter with the last of their family. As soon as she had gotten close to Konoha, a seal had activated."

All three ninja tensed. Sakumo had not heard this before, did the Hokage and Inohachi-san discovered something in her memories? Why hadn't he seen or notice the seal beforehand?

"This seal was so unqiue and strong that once the child reached her early twenties and was with a current range of Konoha, any chakra that was similar to its own was called into the seal.

Kushina paled, "Kyūbi," she whispered as a hand travelled to her stomach.

Sarutobi hummed his affirmative, "This is an S-Ranked secret that you are both now aware of."

"Why us?" asked Kushina, thougth Minato was already put the pieces together.

"Because you are their last know relative, you as well Sakumo," Hiruzen reached out for Minatsuki and Kousei handed him the scroll. He tosed the scroll to them and a three of them peered at the blood test results.

"You three are not the last of your clans. The young lady over there is Namikaze-Uzumaki Minatsuki, your aunt Minato and your cousin once removed or sorts Kushina. The child is Uzumaki-Hatake Kousei, his father happens to be your elder brother, Raishirō, Sakumo."

Minatsuki lifted her face out of her hair and the younger of the two stared wide eyed at the elder blonde, she looked like the exact combination of Minato and Kushina. Minato just stared at the blue eyes that reflected his own so much. Kushina recoginzed the marks on the two be possession marks, only the golden blonde's were darker and more defined, and she had three. To be exposed to so much violent chakra at such a young age? Kushina could feel it in Minatsuki's chakra. Her reserves were so large, they were definitely Uzumaki reserves. It was the same with the kids. She smiled a bright smile to the two and a Minatsuki kindly smiled in return and Kousei gave a big grin.

Sakumo just stood there, wide eyes in shock, his ward had mated and had a child with his big brother. This was too much shock, could that be why, his scent was a lot like Raishirō's, so was his looks. This was almost to much for the older ninja. His elder brother was 3 years older than him, so that would mean... that they were 7 years apart. He felt the sudden need to protect the two now.

Minato walked over and looked wide eye at the woman, who gently reached a hand out to cup his cheek. She kissed his forehead and smile.

"You look so much like her ya' know," she said softly. Tears fell down Minato's cheek, he finally met somene, someone who knew his mother personally. Someone who could tell him all about her.

"You knew my mother?" he asked.

Minatsuki's eyes sadden and he didn't want to believe it, this barely even new his mother too, "She left Kumo when I was pretty young Minato? That's your name right? Nē-chan aboslutely loved the sea from what I can remember. The only reason I know why you look like her is because I remember face before she left very well."

Minato wiped his tears, "Yeah that's my name, it's nice to meet you Oba-chan."

"Just Nē-chan, I''m only 5 years older than you, " Minatsuki said smiling, "You too Minato-kun," tears were running freely down her cheeks too. She was going to get to know her father, maybe not like a daughter, but at least as some kind of family member.

Kushina came next and grabbed the two in a bear hug, Kousei was able to pop his head out over shoulder so he could breath.

"It's nice to meet you Kushina," Minatsuki said, "Could you please let me go though? I can barely breath with how much your squeezing me."

Kushina did so and rubbed the back of her head sheepishly, just like Naruto, "Sorry."

Minatsuki shook her head, "Don't apologize, you actually remind me a lot of my twin brother, he unforunately died before we could get to Konoha."

Kushina smiled again, Minatsuki looked to Sakumo, "Oi, fur head, at least you know we'rerelated in some way right?" Sakumo smiled back and hugged her, she patted him on the back and he let her go.

Hiruzen cleared his throat, "Before you head out, I would like you to know that Minatsuki has standing sessions with Inohachi due to the trauma she suffered."

"Hai Hokage-sama," they chorused.

"Dismissed."

All four adults and one child left and there was an awkward outside of the Hokage's office.

Sakumo sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, "I have to fill out reports today, so let's meet up at the academy at the three when I need to pick up Kakashi."

Minato and Kushina smiled, "That would be nice, thank you for letting us spend time with them," Minato answered as Kushina began to vibrate with excitement.

Sakumo nodded as Minatsuki huffed, muttering something about her not being a baby that need permission from her older brother.

"Will you be okay Kousei?"

"Urufu-chan has to work?" he asked tiredly.

Sakumo groaned internally when he saw others present nearby snickering at his nickname.

"Hai Kousei-kun," he defeatedly responded, "Minato and Kushina will take care of your mom and you until we meet at the academy to get Kashi."

"Okay," Kousei mumbled, he was currently in Minato's arms and tried to snuggle deeper into the blonde's chest. Sakumo sighed and disappeared in a shunshin, disappointed that the red head didn't give more of a fight. Kousei blinked at the empty spot. Minato and Minatsuki suddenly found themselves being dragged out of the Hokage tower by an excited Kushina.

"Come on Minato! We have an aunt and little brother to shop for!" Kushina grinned back at him.

"Ku-Kushina, Sakumo already took us shopping-"

Kushina didn't even let Minatsuki finish, "Yes, but he's a guy, he's also not an Uzumaki. I'm totally getting them anything and everything so Kousei can finish the Uzumaki style."

"Aren't I an Uzumaki Kushina?" questioned Minatsuki and Kushina blush.

"Hai..." she said.

"I'm also the mother of this child, so wouldn't I know and have gotten everything that my sochi needs."

"Hai," Kushina looked down.

Minatsuki smiled once more, "Don't get upset about this Kushina, but next time, ask someone, the adult mainly, to see if they have enough clothes."

Kushina nodded, "Okay Nē-chan..."

"But I do have something that I need to shop for..." Minatsuki said.

Kushina perked up, "What is it?"

Minatsuki put a hand on Kousei's head, Kousei's turned his head sleepily to his mother, his violet eyes painted with tiredness, "Ko-kun has very long hair, I need more hair products to care for it so we both don't have to share they them."

"Okay back to the Uzumaki style, what happen to her also using the Namikaze style?"

Kushina raised an eyebrow at her boyfriend's words, "He's more Hatake than he is Namikaze, but doesn't your clan rely on speed and work around that?"

Minato flushed, realizing how stupid his question was, "H-hai."

Minatsuki grinned foxily, "Then you will have to just push him to make him faster."

Kousei was shooting Kushina death glares as he sat on his Kā-chan's lap; they had been shopping for hours. HOURS! His feet were hurting (even though he been on Minato's shoulder's most of the time), he was hungry, and his Kā-chan and Nē-chan (mostly Nē-chan) had bought some many hair products. Did he already mention he was hungry, because he was very muchly so.

"Kushina-chan, don't you think we've gotten them enough?" Minato asked, sitting next to Minatsuki.

"An Uzumaki would go through these within a few weeks Minato," answered Kushina.

Minato sighed and Kousei's eyes twitched as Minatsuki brought a hand up to cover a small giggle. A low rumble filled the store, and all heads snapped to Kousei, who was blushing madly in embarrassment.

Minatsuki gave a small smile, "Why don't we pick this up another hm, let's go grab something to eat," she said as she handed her red head sochi to Minato before standing up with the crutches. Then Kushina took Kousei from Minato, who pouted at the loss of his nephew before taking his girlfriend's and Nē-chan's hands, escorting them out of the shop and to food. It wasn't surprising when the group ended up at Ichiraku's.

"Oi, Teuchi-san!"

"Ah, Kushina-chan!" the man called from inside the stall, "What can I get Minato and you-" Teuchi paused when he finally looked at the red head in Kushina's arms, a grin grew on his face, "Did you two run off and have a kid without telling me?" he teased the two teenagers, both who flushed from his teasing.

Minatsuki pushed through the two with a sheepish smile, "Ah no, he would be mine actually."

Teuchi grinned, "And who may you be?"

"Minatsuki, I'm Minato's Aunt and Kushina's cousin one removed through her father's nephew and her Great Uncle's son," Minatsuki tilted her head and looked to Kushina, "Right?" she asked as the group sat down at the stall.

Kushina rolled her eyes at the older blonde, "Your blood, that's all that matters, I'm your Imōto and Minato is your Otōto," she smiled down at small red head who was sitting in her lap. Kousei looked back up to Kushina and gave a small smile in return.

"Alrighty then," the stall owner chuckled, "What can I get you four?"

"Pork Ramen please," Minato asked.

"Miso for me and keep them coming!" Kushina cheered.

"Miso for me as well," Minatsuki looked to Kousei, "What do you want Kō-kun?"

Kousei looked to his mother then back to the menu, "Beef please," he said in a quiet voice.

"Beef Ramen for little Kousei here two," Kushina called out for her Otōto. Minatsuki ruffled the top of Kousei's hair before doing the same to Minato, who just leaned into the touch of his aunt.

Minato finished and just watched as the girls ate. His eyes only grew wide as time passed. Minatsuki and Kousei could easily keep up with Kushina's bowl count. He had to stifle a whimper as his wallet protested in agony. Minatsuki fortunately stopped at 17 which was slightly good for Minato, but he was really hoping that Kousei had more Hatake in him than Uzumaki. He sighed in defeat and smiled when his aunt covered her mouth with her hand while giggling beautifully. His mind wandered as the two Uzumaki ate bowl after bowl. He wondered what his uncle would have been like. Seeing as he was part Uzumaki, but also part Namikaze, was he calm and collected like his sister? Or loud and excitable like Kushina?

A nudge to his side drew his attention, and when he looked at Kushina, he noticed she wasn't focused on him, but rather on the child sitting in her lap. Kushina seem to have finally gotten her fill, but now Kousei was still eating. Minato sweat dropped. At that moment, he was relieved that he didn't have to accommodate his aunt and cousin. They might eat him out here and at home.

Kushina's thoughts mirrored those of others, but she understood the reason behind it. Given their substantial reserves, they required more food for energy. She was surprised that Minatsuki wasn't consuming more, especially since it was Kousei who was eating more, the older woman with dual-colored hair had the fox spirit within her. Kushina had to suppress a wince at the thought of the burden this was placed on Sakumo-sensei's wallet.

Kousei was too busy enjoying the taste of ramen made by the Ichiraku's once again to notice how much she was eating. She also didn't want to trouble Sakumo with how much she ate, so after not having a substantial breakfast, missing lunch, and finally getting a late lunch, she wasn't about to let the chance to eat go to waste.

Once his stomach was finally satisfied, he placed the last bowl down with a satisfied sigh and reclined against his new Nē-chan's gentle embrace. As warm arms enveloped him, his eyelids grew heavy. He knew he was tried and didn't try to fight it. His body was still trying to get used to the fact that they went back in time and the environment was much different than it was back home. No, this was now home. Kousei eventually felt the pull and drifted of the sleep against Kushina

Kushina glanced down at the child cradled in her arms before raising her gaze to Minato, who wore a gentle smile, and Minatsuki, whose eyes were filled with tenderness. Her cheeks turned red at the expression in Minato's eyes.

She mumbled, "What dattebane?"

"You'll make a wonderful mother someday," Minato said gently. Kushina's face got as red as he hair. Minato continued to smile affectionately at her as he stood up. "Come on, Kushina, it's nearly time for the academy to let out."

Kushina and Minato laid down the money for the large bill as Minatsuki got up using her crutches before heading to the academy. Kousei was carefully tucked under Kushina's chest and Minato's arm was around her waist. Minatsuki was on the left side of Minato and smiled at the young couple.

They reached the academy slightly ahead of schedule, which allowed them to appreciate Kousei and Minatsuki's chakra while also getting to know the woman with the yellow and red hair better. Primarily, it was Minato who was tuned into the chakra, as Kushina's energy was overwhelming; her scent added to the effect. Besides, after spending the entire afternoon in Kushina's embrace, Kousei was starting to carry her scent too.

Minato gently rubbed his little cousin's back as he attempted to rouse Kousei from sleep. Gradually, a pair of deep cerulean, blue eyes opened, meeting another pair that resembled his own.

"Naruto-oji-chan?" he murmured out, Minatsuki had a sad look in her eyes after hearing her brother's name.

Minato gave a sad smile, "No Otōto, it's me, Minato."

Kousei blinked and his blurry vision dispersed, and he got a better look and saw it was Minato, "Ah," he mumbled out and rubbed his eyes, before reaching out for Minato. Minato took his from Kushina easily, said red head pouted at the loss but smiled at Minato's happy expression. Minatsuki eventually fell to sleep on a bench next Minato, her head on his shoulder, she wasn't snoring at all which Minato was grateful for.

"The academy is about to let out," Minatsuki told her son.

Kousei perked up a bit at that and looked around, he noticed that they were at the academy, "Kashi?" he questioned childishly.

"Soon," a deep voice said, joining the group a bit farther away from the other parents.

"Urufu-chan!" Kousei cheered and Minatsuki giggling, Sakumo gave a defeated smile to the little flame as he ruffled his hair and ignored the giggling of the other moms and the snickers from the dads. He heard Minatsuki's giggle and zeroed in on it again, he zoned out again and was only snapped out of it when he felt a poke from Kousei.

"How are you two?" Sakumo asked.

Minato gave a sheepish smile, "Very good, Kushina may have gone overboard when we went shopping."

"Do you see how long his hair is?!" Kushina defended, "Do you know who many haor products that girls go through? Trust me; he'll need more in a few months, dattebane."

Minato blinked in surprised as Sakumo chuckled, "Thank you Kushina, that was very thoughtful of you."

The commotion seemed to wake Minatsuki up, she yawned and carefully stood up with her crutches.

"Had your nap too like Kousei here," Kushina teased.

Minatsuki smiled lazily, "I'm quite tired," she yawned out the last word.

Sakumo snorted and when back to previous topic which they were speaking about, looking at the little redhead, "You don't need to hold back if you are hungry," Sakumo looked to Minatsuki, "You to Minatsuki. Let me know if you two need seconds and I'll happily get you them."

"Okay Urufu-chan!" Kousei smiled big.

A chime in the background caught everyone's attention. Before long, the doors opened, and tons of children came barreling out. Kousei wiggled out of Minato's arms before reaching up for Sakumo.

"Up! Up!" he called out. Sakumo smiled down and lifted him up to his higher advantage. Kousei surprised him though when she climbed up onto his shoulder to get a better look through the crowd. His violet eyes scanned all the kids until he saw a bit of spikey silver hair that defied gravity. Kakashi's deep coal eyes caught his, then he froze and began to edge away.

"Kashi-kun," he grinned and balanced on Sakumo's shoulders, prompting Kakashi to take another step back.

Kakashi firmly replied, "No," but he knew it would be pointless. As he turned to run away, Kousei jumped off Sakumo's shoulder and playfully tackled Kakashi, laughing the whole time. "Ack!" Kakashi grunted and growled as they rolled in the dirt. He struggled to gain the upper hand against the playful little fox. Meanwhile Minato watched bewildered, Kushina was doubled over in laughter, Minatsuki giggled behind her jacket sleeve, and Sakumo sighed, recognizing that this was likely to become a common sight.

"Kousei-kun," Minatsuki called after she stopped giggling.

The red head stop playing with Kakashi, but not before twisting to grip him in another lock hold, "Hai Kā-chan."

She gave a soft smile, "Do you think Kakashi-kun likes what you're doing to him?"

Kousei shook his head, looking down slightly, "No Kā-chan."

"Now why don't get off the poor child okay, you can always spar if you want," Minatsuki suggest.

Kousei shook his head, "No I was just over excited."

"I fine with it," Kakashi blurted out, Kousei turned wide eyes to him, "It's alright, as long as I can win sometimes it's alright."

Kousei grinned and rubbed his nose in Kakashi's neck, this made the normally stoic Hatake flushed red.

"My Inu-kun," he whispered in Kakashi's ear, make the silver haired boy flush an even brighter shade of red, then he bucked hard enough to dislodge the red head. Sakumo grabbed him from the air and put him on his hip. Kakashi then stood up and brushed off the dirt from his clothes.

"Tō-chan," Kakashi greeted.

Sakumo grinned and said, "Hello, Kakashi. Come with me for a moment; I want to introduce you to some people." He took Kakashi to where Minato was still surprised and Kushina was laughing.

"Minato-san, Kushina, this is my son, Kakashi. Kakashi these are Kousei's cousins, Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina."

"But we like to be called Nē-chan and Nī-san," Kushina smiled.

Sakumo smiled, "They might be over at the compound more when they aren't on missions to spend time getting to know Kousei-kun and Minatsuki."

"I would also like you all to call me Tsuki, I prefer that over my full name," Minatsuki interjected.

Kakashi's eyes widened as he observed the two jōnin, both already renowned in their own rights. It was hard for him to believe that the charming little boy and the lovely woman were connected to Namikaze-san and Uzumaki-san. Minato was already celebrated as one of the fastest shinobi in Konoha, while Kushina was famed as the deadly Red Death Swordswoman.

"Are they related to them?" Kakashi asked in astonishment.

Sakumo chuckled at the excitement shining in his son's gaze. "Hai."

"They'll be training Kousei?"

"Hai," Kushina replied with a bright smile.

Kakashi pondered the idea of the already troublesome redhead receiving even more training. "Can you train me too?" Sakumo was taken aback, his eyes widening in surprise.

Minato regarded the small Hatake with curiosity. "Why?"

Kakashi frowned, glancing up at the boy resting on his father's hip. "He's already strong; I want to be able to keep up with him and someday beat him."

Kushina grinned slyly. "Ah, so you see him as a rival."

Kakashi shook his head. "Not exactly."

Minato mused, "Then what do you consider him?"

Kakashi's face flushed again in embarrassment, "I saw Minatsuki-san crying at night; I promised myself I would protect her." Minato and Kushina smiled warmly at Kakashi, while Minatsuki's eyes widened in surprise.

"Alright," Minato finally said, "When we have training with Kousei, you can join us for some additional training."

"Thank you Kushina, Minato-san-"

"Just Minato," Minato smiled.

Sakumo smiled back, "Minato. I try my best to train him, but my missions tend to keep me away. He's bright, but the extra guidance would be welcomed."

Kushina grinned at him, "How about this then? We can watch them both when you are out on missions if we aren't already on mission ourselves."

Minatsuki squawked, "What about me? I'm I just chopped liver now?"

Kushina grinned sheepishly, "But you'll be busy, especially if you decided to become an active ninja."

Sakumo smiled, relaxed, "But that would be welcomed, I need some to watch Kakashi when Tsuki can't."

"I can handle things on my own!" Kakashi insisted, his frustration evident.

Kousei bent down, gently stroking Kakashi's hair. "Oh, dear Inu," he said softly. "Urufu-chan really cares about you. He just wants you to be safe."

Kakashi frowned at the boy with violet eyes. "Huh?"

"You're strong, but Urufu-chan is like a mother-hen."

Minatsuki blinked, impressed by the boy's cleverness in coming up with a new nickname for Sakumo. Minato and Kushina couldn't help but snickered as Sakumo's face turned red, sputtering, "Ko-kun!" he scolded, though the blonde child remained fixated on Kakashi.

Trying to grasp Kousei's reasoning, Kakashi frowned. "So, he wants someone to 'watch me' because he's worried?" he asked.

Kousei beamed in agreement. "Hai, Mother-hen."

Kakashi relaxed, nodding in acknowledgment of Kousei's thought process. "Alright," he said before redirecting his attention to Minato and Kushina. "When Tō-chan is out on missions, I look forward to spending time learning and training with both of you. Thank you."

Minato suppressed a laugh and nodded to the boy, while Kushina was busy snickering into his shoulder. Sakumo, still with flushed cheeks, sighed as he placed a hand on Kakashi's head.

"Would you two like to join us for dinner? It would be a great opportunity to get to know each other better. It's been a while since I sat down with you, Minato. Plus, I haven't had a chance to speak with Kushina since her team split, leaving her poor sensei to reminisce about her cute genin days."

Kushina blushed, and Minato smiled. "Thank you, Senpai, we'd love to."

"We can also help Kousei and Minatsuki—" she began, only to yelp as Minatsuki bumped her head. "I mean, Tsuki-nē, with their things."

Sakumo nodded, and the group made their way back to the Hatake Compound.
