NARUTO: The new chance

Chapter 6: [6] thought Minato



"Nothing harmful..." Minato said with a far off look. "...at least, not for the mouse." he added with a slightly sadistic smile.

OMAKE: LABOR PREPARATION CLASSES

"Kushina, my love, are you sure you do not want me to come to those classes?" asked Minato.

"Yes dear. You know that we must keep our marriage a secret until after the baby is born, and until I can protect myself properly again." replied his wife with an irritated look on her face. "...and," she added. "...today's classes are only for women, as all Wednesdays. I've told you this already."

"Okay..." said a defeated Minato as he slumped in defeat. "...do you want the usual for dinner?"

"YES!" shouted a noticeably happier Kushina. "Teaching you my secret ramen recipe took me months, but it was worth it! Now I don't have to do it myself all the time if I want some!"

"All men must treat their pregnant wives like queens." Minato solemnly recited as if it were a rule of life.

"I love you, see you later." Kushina said with a slight blush after planting her husband a kiss that would make Jiraiya blush.

Kushina arrived several minutes later to the room where the classes were held. A woman with a sleepy baby went to the sign that said "LABOR PREPARATION CLASS" just after Kushina entered the room and turned it around. On the other side it said "HUSBAND TAMING CLASSES". Said sign flipper then spoke to the class with an air of authority and experience. "Welcome ladies. I'm Nara Yoshino and today I will show you how to convince your men to do the grocery without threatening them to sleep on the couch..."

"Um... Dad, why did you put mask on for beating that guy?", asked a puzzled Naruto.

The Yondaime looked at his son with a serious face under his black mask:

"Naruto-kun, have you wondered why the Sandaime never told you that I was your father?"

Naruto took a saddened face. "Jii-san never told, he said that you and Mom died in the Kyuubi attack and that he would tell me about you when I were older, Tou-san, why did he keep it from me?"

"There were many reasons... First he made it for keeping you safe from my enemies", said Minato sadly, "the other reason was to not start a fight between the families and clans of Konoha for your custody, perhaps you don't know it, but we're a very rich family, with properties around all Fire Country...", said proudly, "...but the true reasons for a fight would have been the scrolls with our family jutsus and techniques".

"WHAT!, ARE YOU SAYING THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO EAT ALL RAMEN THAT I CAN!?, AND THAT WE HAVE FAMILY JUTSUS THAT WOULD START A FIGHT BETWEEN CLANS!?", said and excited Naruto with starts in his eyes.

"Yes.", said Minato rising the chin. "And they even didn't know about our secret bloodline limit..."

"What is a bloodline limit?" asked a confussed Naruto, "what does it do?"

Minato sweatdropped "He wanted to pass the exam without knowing it?", thought slighty embarrassed.

"I'll tell you another time...", said with a sigh and turned more serious.

"Naruto-kun, until you don't get strong enough,

we'll have to hide my true identity has the Yondaime, but don't worry, with the exclusive training method that I have thought for you, you'll be more powerful in a few weeks than most academy students. I warn you, it will be very exacting but it will make you the strongest ninja of Konoha."

"Yes Dad!, don't worry I will deal with anything you throw to me, I'll make you proud. believe it!", said a happy Naruto.

"I'm already proud of you my son...", thought Minato.

"By the way, how are you going to hide your true identity, Tou-san?", asked Naruto.

"Good question son" "I'll never have enough of him calling me that...", thought his father.

"This is what we are going to do..."

They spend the rest of the morning chatting forgetting to go to Ichiraku's Ramen.

Iruka couldn't stop to think all morning about Naruto, yesterday he almost passed the genin test but failed in the bunshin jutsu, not gaining enough scores for pass. Being such a good hearted man, it was very painful to fail one of his students, it made him feel a bad teacher, specially after the hostility he had for the blond boy at he begining, fortunately his duty has teacher overcomed his hate and later he saw that there was no way that the kid would be the fox that killed his parents.

He planned to take the boy to ramen for cheering him up but he didn't come to class.

"Damm, he took it worse than I expected" thought concerned.

"Ok, class, that's all for today" said.

While the students were exiting the class he couldn't stop murmuring for himself.

"Naruto, what I'm going to do with you?..."

"Ano... Iruka-sensei, a-are you talking about N-Naruto-kun" said a shyly voice.

Iruka saw the shy Hyuuga heir playing with her index fingers, obviusly regreting the question.

Iruka smiled at the girl. "Yes, Hinata, I'm going to check why Naruto didn't come to class."

"P-Perhaps i-it is be-because his f-father came back yesterday and..."

"WHAT!, are you sure about you are saying!?", said the teacher in a shock.

"Eek!", the shy heiress almost jumped for her teachers reaction, obviusly scared.

"Sorry Hinata-chan... I didn't want to scare you. Are you sure about what you are saying?" said him with a concerned look.

"Y-Yes...", said the girl calming down, "...h-he was hugging a man while c-crying of h-happiness calling the man Tou-san...", she could not avoid to smile dreamly thinking about the father-son reencounter, "I-I could not see his face,

I-I left b-because I thought t-they needed to be a-alone..."

Before she could finish to talk the teacher rushed out of the Academy heading to his student's apartment.

He arrived to the building where his student lived and opened the door with the copy of the key that the Hokage gave him the day he found out that he invited Naruto to eat eventually.
