Sakura was waiting passionately for the announcement of the new hokage pacing back and forth. Thought ran through her mind about naruto and the connection with her parents.
Why would they call him a demon?
Why do they think he's a demon?
Why?
These thoughts ran through her mind like a tornado. She looked at the clock and saw its almost time for the announcement.
She and her 'parents' got up and left and went in front of the hokage tower with mostly everyone in the village.
With minato and naruto.
Naruto was slightly nervous to be announced as the son of the hokage.
he knew all of the adults 'save a few' have wronged him once.
Minato saw this and placed a hand on his shoulder to make him stop.
It's alright naruto... I will handle everything.
Minato said as naruto lightly nodded and sat back down.
Hello everyone! I am glad to announce the new hokage for our sad passing of our dear sandaime.
Jiryia said sadly as everyone looked down with a slight prayer.
But... when orochimaru was fighting with him, he used a jutsu to bring back the first, secound, and fourth hokage to fight against him.
Jiryia said making most gasp.
However his jutsu backfired for one of them. The yondaime. He is now alive and back to become hokage!
Jiryia said as minato walked in front of the village making everyone cheer loudly.
I am glad to be back as to finish my duty as hokage.
Minato started making other cheer.
I will also announce the chunin exams passes.
Minato said pulling out all of the notes for naruto uzumaki (now namikaze) and shikamaru naru.
These notes are from the chunin exams and the invasion that took place for naruto uzumaki and shikamaru nara.
Minato said.
Naruto in the preliminaries beat kiba inuzuka, in the finals he beat neji hyuga, and during the invasion saved all of us from the one tailed beast. I am ashamed of who ever has rumors of the uchia beating him seeing I saw naruto do the finishing blows while sasuke was out cold for a good hour before hand.
Minato said as kakashi was sweating seeing everyone glare at him.
Shikamaru nara, he beat (name) in the preliminaries, had very good strategies in the finals but lost from lack of chakra, in the invasion he was able to lead most of the genins in the invasion while helping push back all of the forces of sound and wind.
Minato said as they all clapped as shikamaru was now standing beside naruto, from his mother forcing him to.
Troublesome mothers...
Shikamaru mutterted.
I would like to say I am proud of both of them for defending the village so welly and both had good chunin exams, I promote both of them to chunin.
Minato said as most was glaring at naruto, including kakashi and sasuke.
How did the demon brat get promoted and not the uchia!
Most said making minato's eyes darken.
I will also announce I had a son before I 'died'.
Minato said as everyone looked at him confused.
Who!?
They shouted.
Minato started motioning naruto from the other side.
Naruto shyly looked up lightly.
This here is my son naruto namikaze.
Minato said making everyone look down in same at what they did to the yondaime's son.
Kakashi felt like he was going to explode.
I ignored senseis son...
Kakashi thought gloomily.
How does he have a better family then me! The uchia!!!
Sasuke thought as he was seething in anger.
I DEMAND TO BE CHUNIN!
sasuke shouted making everyone look at him.
Sorry sasuke but tardiness, does not win you missions.
Minato said as sasuke glared at kakashi.
How is he jounin then!
Sasuke shouted pointing towards kakashi.
He was not always tardy when I was alive.
Minato shrugged.
He was annoyed at hiruzen's notes of the uchia and kakashi's.
He handed shikamaru and naruto his vest and patted their backs congratulating them.
Sakura was stunned.
The good old knucklehead she knew was the son of minato namikaze the yondaime.
She shook off the thought before running towards him.
Naruto!
She said glomping him in a hug.
Naruto was slightly stunned.
Naruto... I remember...
She said before minato began talking.
Will kisashi and mibuki haruno come to my office now.
Minato said as the haruno's were slightly shocked to see they were the first to see their friend in so long.
You remember? What do you mean sakura-chan.
naruto asked holding the crying pinkette.
That day that I was bullied... I had a memory seal placed on me that removed it...
She said not wanting to let go.
I am so sorry naruto-kun.
she said.
I did so many things to you... I thought the feeling I had was for that arrogant bastard.
She said scowling slightly.
It was for the boy who saved me...
She said slightly as naruto blinked lightly.
Do you mean...
He started.
Yes I like you naruto...
She said making naruto pinch him self lightly making sakura giggle.
This is not a dream naruto-kun.
She said.
Who put the seal on you...
Naruto asked.
My parents... they thought you brain washed me... why do they think your a demon naruto-kun?
She asked seriously.
He lightly lowered his head.
You would hate me.
he said sadly making sakura hit him on the shoulder lightly.
No I wont.
She said lightly.
I have to ask dad...
Naruto said making sakura nod.
With minato.
Do you know why I called you two?
Minato asked as they shook their head.
Minato lightly grabbed a piece of paper and gave it to the haruno family.
They paled when they saw the seal they placed on their daughter.
I can explain..
They said as they were sweating.
You thought he was corrupting your daughter... now you know he is my son you want to praise him?
Minato asked coldly making them sweat.
Anbu take these two into a cell. They are charged in using a illegal seal.
Minato said as they were taken away.
He sighed before calling another anbu.
Bring kakashi hatake to my office immediately. No excuses for lateness.
Minato said as they fetched for kakashi.
A few minutes latter kakashi opened the door.
It's good to see you sensei.
Kakashi said with a eye smile.
Minato sighed lightly.
I'm very disappointed in you.
Minato started.
May I ask why?
Kakashi asked dumbly.
You first have favouritism issues with your team.
Minato said.
Why do you say that?
Kakashi asked.
Minato pulled papers out bad started reading silently.
What did you teach your team.
Minato asked.
Tree climbing and teamwork exercises.
Kakashi stated truthfully.
And what did you teach separately?
Minato asked glaring.
Kakashi was sweating knowing he got caught.
Nothing?
Minato asked.
Let's see... sasuke uses chidori... that's your technique... a A rank one.
Minato said.
But sasuke was against a strong opponent!
Kakashi pleaded.
And neji is a push over?
Minato asked slightly annoyed.
Sakura haruno... she has only had tree climbing and team exercises
Minato said tapping his finger impatiently.
Naruto and sakura are worthless to compare to sasuke.
Kakashi said making minato snap.
Naruto beat garra of the sand! The jinjuriki of the one tailed racoon. And sakura had a memory seal on her!
Minato roared making kakashi flinch.
Sasuke weakened garra.-
Actually he dinit.
A voice said as garra walked in with his siblings.
He dinit lay a finger on me. It was all naruto.
Garra said as kakashi paled.
Thank you garra. is this about sound controlling your forces?
Minato asked as they nodded.
Father... was presumed dead before the plan started.
Temari said crying lightly.
So orochimaru pretended to be the kazekage to get help.
Minato said as he nodded.
Our alliance still stands, I'm sorry about your father.
Minato said frowning lightly.
Thank you yondaime.
They all said as they left.
Team 7 is disbanded
Minato said.
Now leave, and your forbidden to teach my son or the uchia now for your favoritism.
Minato said.
But sensei if I knew naruto was yo-
You would favorite him to? Your demoted to chunin for your selfishness.
Minato interupted as kakashi bowed lightly and left sadly.
What have I done?
Back with naruto.
Naruto and sakura was walking towards the hokages door when they saw kakashi walk out. Sakura growled lowly making naruto hear.
Naruto and sakura knocked. And came in.
Hey dad...
Naruto said lowly.
Hello son. Who is this?
Minato asked smiling lightly.
This is sakura haruno.
Naruto said making sakura smile lightly.
It's a pleasure to meet you yondaime.
She said lightly.
Please call me minato.
Minato said smiling.
Dad can I tell her.
Naruto said as he looked down to his stomach giving him the message of kyuubi.
Minato nodded.
Before you hear this sakura. Naruto is still naruto.
Minato said as sakura nodded and turned to naruto.
The kyuubi was sealed... not killed.
Naruto said making sakura tilted her head confusingly.
It couldn't be killed by dad so he had to seal it into a baby... the baby was me... that's why they think I'm a demon.
Naruto said sadly as he closed his eyes tightly ready for rejection. Naruto felt arms around him and he opened his eyes to see sakura holding him.
I don't give a damn if all bijuu was sealed inside of you.
Sakura said making naruto release tears.
Thank you sakura-chan.
Naruto said wrapping his hands around her.
Ahem.
Minato said making naruto blush from head to toe.
Sorry dad.
Naruto said embarrassed.
Sakura smiled and kissed his cheek.
Naruto was beat red making minato snicker a little until he became serious.
Sakura, I'm sorry but your parents will be in prison for life, they used a illegal seal on you.
Minato said sadly.
Sakura shook her head.
They made me forget my first friend.
She said sadly.
You have me now.
Naruto said Cheekily.
She smiled lightly.
Well you could stay with me and naruto if you want.
Minato said shrugging.
Sakura smiled and nodded happily.
Yay sakura-chan is staying with us.
Naruto said happily.
Can she train with us to?
Naruto asked.
Sure why not.
Minato said.
Sakura smiled as naruto smiled towards sakura.
Sakura-chan do you want to get ramen with me?
Naruto asked lightly looking down.
Sure naruto-kun.
she said making naruto perk up.
Ya!
Naruto said happily and dragged sakura out of the room making minato chuckle.
Naruto and sakura walked into Ichakakus ramen and sat down. Naruto happily had his vest on as ayame walked out.
You made chunin naruto! Congratulations.
Ayame said as she looked towards sakura.
Oh is this your girlfriend naruto?
Ayame asked making sakura smile lightly.
If he wants me to.
Sakura said making naruto look over shocked.
Really?
Naruto asked happily.
Sure naruto-kun.
Sakura said happily making naruto hug her.
Thank you.
Naruto said crying in relief.
Ayame smiles lightly and set down their bowls as they happily ate their ramen. They talked and laughed until they were finished and left.
She's a sweet girl.
Teuchi said.
Yeah she is.
Ayame agreed.
Naruto smiled at sakura.
Hey sakura-chan.
Naruto asked.
Yes?
Sakura asked as naruto picked sakura up bridal style and jumped towards the top of the hokage monument making sakura blush.
He got up on top of his father's head and they sat down.
Sakura hit him lightly.
Warn me before you do that.
Sakura scolded lightly.
Sorry.
Naruto said rubbing his head sheepishly.
They looked across the village to see the sun shinning upon the village as it was slowly setting.
Is it the truth?
Naruto asked dejectedly.
What do you mean?
Sakura asked confused.
That you like me..
Naruto asked not exactly convinced.
Sakura narrowed her eyes until she smiled.
Sakura grabbed him by the shoulders making him look up and kissed him right on the lips making naruto's eyes widen, he lightly closed his eyes and kissed back.
A lone tear trickled down naruto's eye. He finally got what he has always wanted...
To be recognized and a family.
Sakura pulled lightly away to look at him. Naruto stared back at her before jumping on her with a hug.
I'm so 'sob' glad you 'sob' remember. Please... 'sob' don't leave 'sob' me again...
Naruto said as sakura rubbed his back lightly trying to get him to calm down.
It's alright... it's alright... you will never be alone.... never again.
Sakura said as she lightly looked at him again. She pressed her lips back on him. Naruto pulled back lightly and pressed his head against hers.
Thank you... Sakura-chan.
He said as they watched the sunset.
Naruto looked down towards sakura to see she fell asleep. Naruto picked her up and ran towards the namikaze compound. Once he got their naruto layed her down on his bed. She slowly stired at the diffeent surface and looked up at naruto.
Stay...
She said as he nodded and layed down next to her.
Thank you.. naru-kun.
She said as naruto smiled at the nickname and went to sleep with her.
