Summary: In which Minato has disbelief over at how Kushina and Kurama has a child inbetween them and did not burn anything.

—————————————

Maybe he's dreaming.

But he isn't, and he's standing at the doorway, gapping at the two red-haired adults and what seems to be a child in the living room. They all stare back at him, Kushina blinking, Kushina's cousin who's impassively just staring back, and the child.... Gapping in delight.

Minato is just about ready to internally worry. The child is still alive. Is that possible? There's two Uzumaki in the room, and there's bound to be trouble following them, and nothing is happening right now.

Really, Minato was expecting a fire going on, but there's none. None.

This is a genjutsu, is it?

He lifts his hands, and performs the hand seals necessary to dispel a genjutsu and murmurs, "Kai."

Nothing happens, so he tries again. "Kai."

"Minato, are you okay?" Kushina asks, propping her hand under her chin. Minato isn't sure anymore; he doubtfully stares back at his girlfriend, before looking at Kurama. Kurama only shrugs. That does not help, damn it. "There's no genjutsu in sight."

"Is that Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō that you were telling me about, Kushina-nee-chan?" the child asks excitedly. "Can he really teleport? Can he do a really cool Jutsu? Hey, hey, do you really have a hat of a frog like Kurama-nii told me about?"

"Slow down, brat," Kurama scolds gently. Did he hear that right, Minato wonders to himself. "The buffoon might not catch some of your words, Obito."

Obito– as Minato now learns– huffs, and crosses his arms, performing a pout. An adorable pout that makes Minato freeze, because it's with puppy eyes. And those are dangerous. "But Kurama-nii," he whines. "I wanna know!"

Wait a second.... "Did you just called me a buffoon?" Minato demands, eyes widening frantically. Stops fretting when Kurama lets out a low chuckle. The world is going insane, he's sure of it now.

"You're exactly like this one buffoon I know, though. He's a massive idiotic dork that cannot stop deciding to sacrifice himself for others, and nearly gets me killed, and yet, he's able to convince me that it was a good idea. That kind of buffoon."

He gaps, as Obito begins to beg the red-haired man for more stories, with Kushina's chuckle in the background.

Well, he's home (and he will not admit that he's enjoying Kurama's stories of a daring blonde idiot who likes to play massive pranks and unwavering loyalty to his friends, though it sounds like him and Kushina, and won't stop until he's saved everyone. Minato likes the person Kurama is telling about).

—————————————

Poor, poor Minato. You see, every single time Kushina (and recently Kurama) babysat a kid, the kitchen was always somehow on fire (how? I have no clue) and the poor Hokage had to put it out. So of course, it was shocking that they didn't set the entire house on fire. Congrats, Minato, you survived.
