"Minato Namikaze! The Fourth Hokage! The fastest man ever! Th-The Yellow flash!" Sakura, now positively giddy, shot incredulous looks at her teammates.

Sasuke's eyes widened. There was absolutely no way a dead last like Naruto could be the son of THE yellow flash. The raw talent of the said man was completely off the charts. He did not come from a clan and had a pure civilian lineage, but he was elected as Hokage for a very good reason. A prodigy in his own right, Minato Namikaze was the only shinobi ever to get a flee-on-sight order in the bingo book.

Sasuke would never admit it to anybody, in fact, he rarely even admitted it to himself. He knew that Naruto had always been talented. He laid it on a little thick but he did respect the blonde in a difficult sense of freedom.

Like in the wave mission, he did see a glimmer of untamed talent, when they took down Zabuza the first time to free Kakashi from the water ball. It was pure genius. Naruto even managed defeat Haku, when he had passed out from being used as a pin cushion.

Sakura said,"Wow Naruto, who would have thought! To think..."

Naruto snapped, "Don't even say it!" he was not angry, just hurt. He had always looked up to the Fourth for protecting the village. But after he found out at what cost except his life, he could coldly put it past that.

He had no problem with the Hokage trapping a monster in his gut.

No, he had a problem with a Father doing that to his son. 

He wasn't blind. The similarities were striking. But he wasn't dumb either.

If really, someone like the Fourth Hokage was his father, the sandaimine or at least someone would tell him and obviously, he would be Konoha's sweetheart and the life he was living now was anything but good.

He needed the shout, holding thingsAlthough, seeing Sakura's scared expression made him regret doing that.

Sasuke quirked a brow, "Really, dobe. What makes you say that?" Fourth Hokage's son or not, he can't walk all over his teammate.

Naruto looked up a the sky and contemplated. He had always known that this day of answers would come, just not so soon.
