Friend

Hinata stirred in her sleep. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked around. First she only thought she was still asleep but then she saw that she wasn't at her room at her clan's compound. She panicked and ran to the door. She tried to reach the door handle but it was too high above her. She looked for another exit but the window was too high to climb outside. Frightened she sat down on the bed and hugged her knees. She cried when she heard steps in front of the door. The door opened and a blond man, she never saw before entered.

'Ah you are awake Hinata that's good. You don't need to be afraid' he said smiling. 'My name is Minato and I am a friend of your father Hiashi. He is at your clan compound and investigates how it was possible that the man who tried to kidnap you could enter undetected.'

Hinatas eyes widened in fear. 'Hey, it's okay, we got the man and he is in prison right now. He can't hurt you anymore.' Hinata nodded weakly. 'By the way, your uncle Hizashi will be here in I think ten minutes or so to explain everything to you. Your father asked me if you could stay here for the night because he doesn't know how it was possible that somebody entered your home. Do you want to come down with me? My son would be happy to meet you.'

'O-Okay' Hinata said unsure if she should believe the man. But if her uncle would come in a few minutes it surely would be all right.

Down in the living room Naruto was awake and inspected everything around him. It was fascinating for him, that he would live in this big house with his father. The living room he awoke in ten minutes ago was huge. But it gave him a feeling of warmth. The furniture was hold in a light sort of wood he hadn't seen ever before. There were closets, shelves with lots of books on them, two couches of black leather with white comfy cushions on them, two armchairs of the same look as the couches and a glass table in the middle of them. He saw a big television set. On some of the shelves were photos of some people. The only one he recognised was a picture of his father with three teenagers. One of them looked a lot like the grey haired man he saw at the entrance hall of the tower his father called Kakashi if he remembered correctly. He was so happy, he couldn't stop to grin. It was still strange for him to have a father. All the caretakers at the orphanage had been wrong. His father loved him and he said he wasn't a demon like they told him. He heard steps at the stairs and ran to the door to look. There was his father with a girl with dark hair and nearly white eyes. That kind of eyes he had never seen before. And there had been a lot of different children at the orphanage.

His father and the girl came over to him. His father smiled at his curious face.

'Naruto, this is Hinata Hyuga. She is the daughter of my best friend Hiashi Hyuga the head of the Hyuga clan. She will stay with us for the night as Hiashi has an investigation to run.'

'Why?' Naruto asked.

'There was a bad man who tried to kidnap Hinata and before Hiashi doesn't know how he got inside it will be safer for Hinata if she stays with us.'

'Why?' Naruto asked again.

'Because our house is the safest in the whole village.' Minato explained.

'Why?'

Minato thought this could take a while. His son used the possibility to ask as many questions as possible.

'Because there are seals all over the place that can't be broken by anybody but a sealmaster as strong as me and there are only very few who are at my level.'

'What are seals daddy?'

'At least he didn't ask why' Minato thought. 'Seals are a special art ninjas use. Like ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu which are the three basic arts. Seals have different uses. You can store things in a scroll to transport them easier if you use a storage seal. Then there are seals that can make things explode. They are called exploding tags. You can blind people with flash seals. And that are just a few. There are nearly no limits to the use of seals except the imagination of the seal master. If you understand how to make them you can do a lot of things.'

Naruto looked at his father in awe. Then he looked at Hinata who seemed to be afraid. Naruto decided to try to get to know the other child. He never had had the possibility to befriend another child due to the caretakers who isolated him from the other children at the orphanage. And this girls father was a friend of his father. Surely he was okay with him befriending her?

'Hey I'm Naruto, do you want to play?' he asked.

Hinata looked at him and found herself captured in his deep blue eyes. She never before felt like she could trust somebody so fast as it was the case with Naruto.

'I'm Hinata, I would like to play' she said quietly but Naruto heard it all the same.

'Yeah, what do you want to play?' he asked bouncing with energy.

'Naruto, please stay in the house for playing okay? It's already dark outside and I don't want you to get lost in the darkness' Minato said.

Naruto looked at his father and nodded. He looked questioning at Hinata who seemed to be afraid for some reason.

'Hinata?' Naruto asked.

'It's just…' Hinata tried to explain. Minato seemed to read her thoughts.

'Is it because you don't want to be alone in a place you know nobody?' he asked kindly. Hinata nodded.

'I have a suggestion. Why don't you two come with me and I show you the house? You haven't seen very much of it yourself Naruto. When we are done Hinatas uncle Hizashi should be here to tell her what is happening at her family's compound.'

Naruto nodded and Hinata followed after a little while. Naruto enthusiastically took her hand. 'Let's go daddy' Naruto said. Minato couldn't help himself but grin at the cute picture in front of him.

They needed the rest of the time until Hizashi showed up for Minato to show the two children the ground floor of the mansion. It consisted of the living room, a storage room for kitchen supplies, a bathroom, the training dojo, a meditation room and the kitchen which was as big as the one in the orphanage which was build so they could cook for nearly two hundred children. Naruto asked his father why the kitchen was so big.

'Well Naruto, while the Namikaze hadn't been a clan until a few years ago, we always had a lot of people who did business with us due to our natural talents with seals. It's a family tradition to learn about them. So there often were large groups of people who came over for dinner. That and my grandmother always loved to invite lots of friends for parties. She was a great cook.' Naruto nodded.

'Daddy are there more Namikazes?' Naruto asked him.

'Yes Naruto but only one. We three are the last of the Namikaze. But we have a few other relatives.' Naruto looked interested.

'Why did they never show up?' he asked finally with his head down. Hinata looked at Naruto not knowing why he seemed to be so sad.

'Naruto?' she asked carefully. 'Why are you sad?'

'It's just that I have been alone for as long as I know' Naruto said whispering.

Minato knelt down before him and hugged him. 'That is in the past. I will do everything I can that you will never be alone again Naruto' he said assuring.

He stroked Narutos back. Naruto nodded. It was a great feeling when his father held him. He felt completely safe. It was a completely new feeling but he didn't want it to end.

'I also want to help you. I don't want you to be alone' Hinata said as Naruto and Minato ended the hug.

'Really?' Naruto asked the girl. She nodded while looking shyly at the floor. 'Thank you Hinata' he said and hugged the girl.

Hinata got a strange feeling. On one side it felt good, on the other she was extremely nervous. Why, she couldn't figure out.

Minato saw Hinatas behavior and instantly knew that she had inherited the shy personality of her mother in her younger years. It would be hard for the girl in her position as heiress to the Hyuga clan. Hopefully she wouldn't break during the harsh training. Perhaps his seemingly hyperactive son could help her. He continued to show them the rest of the ground floor.

'This is the training dojo of our family. My father built it when he became a ninja. He wanted a place where he could train in secret when he developed new techniques' Minato explained.

The children looked at the large room that was laid out with tatami mats. In one corner were training utensils, in another was a closet for towels. Then there were two training posts for different uses.

'I used this dojo regularly' Minato told them with a smile.

'Did you invent techniques Minato Sama?' Hinata asked politely.

'There is no need to call me Sama Hinata. I'm not that old. Just call me Minato. And yes I invented some techniques.'

'Please daddy, can you show us?' Naruto asked curiously jumping up and down in anticipation.

Minato thought for a while. 'Sure, but I can't show you the full force of one because it's too dangerous. This is the first one' he took a three pronged kunai out of his pouch and threw it to the other side of the dojo. In a flash of yellow he disappeared and reappeared next to his kunai. 'This is my Hiraishin no jutsu' he explained. 'It allows me to travel to the kunai I threw in the blink of an eye. It was this jutsu that got me my nickname the yellow flash of Konoha.' Hinata seemed to remember something.

Her eyes grew wide. 'Minato are you the Yondaime Hokage?' she asked. Minato scratched the back of his head while grinning.

'Yes I am.'

'Wow, why didn't you tell me daddy?' Naruto asked.

'It wasn't the right time. I mean I just returned today and then there were enough other things which were more important at the time. I would have told you later.' Naruto nodded, seemingly okay with the answer.

'You said there are some relatives, who are they?' Naruto asked.

'Well, first there is my mother Tsunade, your grandmother. I hope she will return to Konoha when she finds out that we are still alive. She left because she thought that we were dead.'

'But why would she think that?'

'Well, the reason I couldn't be with you was that three years ago on the day you were born the Kyubi no Kitsune attacked Konoha. Why; nobody knew at the time. I was able to defeat Kyubi but it was at a high price. I could just return today.'

'Where were you?'

'I will tell you when you are older. It's a bit complicated.' Naruto pouted. Minato ruffled his hair. 'Well aside from your grandmother there is my cousin Shizune. She is Tsunades apprentice. You must know your grandmother is the best medic nin there is.'

'What is an apprentice daddy?'

'A student who gets more intensive training from his master. Normally you learn in groups of three genin when you graduate from the ninja academy. You have one jonin sensei who teaches the three genin. But an apprentice most of the time is the sole student of this jonin. And then the teacher teaches his own special things and not only the general things a ninja must know to survive.'

Naruto nodded. He kind of understood this. 'Can I become a ninja too daddy?' he asked enthusiastically.

'If you really want it of course you can Naruto. You come from a family who had many exceptional ninjas I'm sure you have talent' Minato said kindly. Narutos smile could have illuminated the night.

'Hinata will you become a ninja too?' Naruto asked then.

'Well I think yes. My family members are almost all ninja.'

'That would be great, than we can learn to be ninjas together.' A small red tint was recognizable on Hinatas cheeks. She nodded and smiled. Naruto thought she was cute with this smile.

Then Naruto remembered something. 'Hinata, do you know any games to play in the house?'

'No not really. There are not many children my age in the Hyuga clan, just my cousin and he is a year older and I just met him today. I never really had somebody to play with.'

She seemed to be disappointed. Naruto could understand the look. While he had lived with lots of children he never was allowed to play with them.

'Then we can play together from now on and perhaps we can make our own games. I only know some for outside which I could see when the other kids in the orphanage played. Do you want?'

Hinata looked at him and saw he was unsure. She just nodded. It would be nice to have somebody to play with and Naruto seemed to be a nice boy. When she nodded Minato could see that a great weight fell from Naruto. He knew his son wanted a friend more than anything else. And aside from his own friend's children it would be hard to find some with all the prejudices the villagers held.

This moment the doorbell rang. 'I think this is your uncle Hinata. Let's go and welcome him.' The children nodded. All three went to the entrance hall to greet Hizashi.

Hizashi was in a kind of stupor. His brother had taken him aside when he came home from the Hokage and told him he needed him for a special job. Hinata had been kidnapped and was now at the mansion of a friend because he didn't know who he could trust in the clan until he was trough a thorough investigation. To ensure that Hinata wasn't totally frightened because she doesn't know his friend, he should look after her. But what Hizashi didn't expect was the fact that he stood now in front of the Namikaze mansion. The last Namikaze was dead for three years. Well or that was what the public knew. His son was just three years old and lived under a different name to protect him from his father's enemies. Damned civilian part of the council. If it hadn't been for them Naruto would have a happier life. He could grow up with his son Neji and his niece Hinata.

Why did Hiashi sent him to Minatos mansion? Well he would see. He rang the doorbell and waited. Soon he saw three figures approach the gate. One was an adult two were children. He suspected one had to be Hinata. When the gate opened Hizashi was shocked. He never thought he would see this face again.

'Come in and hurry. I will explain inside' Minato said quietly. Hizashi nodded and the three went back inside the house.

When they sat in the living room Minato explained again to Hizashi what had happened while Naruto and Hinata played with a ball in the training dojo.

'So that's the story. I'm alive because Shinigami sama sucks at poker. I don't know who has the worse luck him or my mother' he said laughing.

'I understand but it is a lot to take in.'

'That's for sure. By the way as we have some time to kill until Hiashi is finished with the investigation, can you tell me some of the important things that happened in Konoha the last three years?'

'Of course Minato. Well to start it, the council forced some changes in the command. They seem to think that they can overrule the Hokage and make him a figure head. As the Sandaime is old, he just tries to keep the peace between opposing groups. He clearly wants to pass the responsibility for the village to someone younger. But without you there were no suitable candidates. But that leads to more problems as they use his softness for their benefit. Corruption his growing and that is never a good thing. Danzo tried to reason with the Sandaime that we can't afford to lose strength especially after the losses of the Kyubi attack. But it was not successful. Due to this I think he intensified to build up his ROOT unit. He opened his own orphanage where the children are trained to be ninjas. The only problem is he is overdoing it.'

'Yes I know. I will talk with him soon. If I can manage to reason with him, he can become an invaluable ally. I know that it can be lethal to show emotions at the battlefield but in private you are doomed without them. You need a balance between the two.'

Hizashi nodded. 'The competition between the Hyuga and the Uchiha has reached new heights. The Uchiha bastards think that due to their eyes they are unbeatable. This is infused by their newest prodigy Itachi. He is just eleven and already chunin on the best way to jonin. His Sharingan is fully developed but I think he is a pleasant exception to the normally high headed Uchiha. He actually worked for his abilities. That is the reason why the ANBU has their eyes on him.'

'How do you know Hizashi?'

'Well, if you weren't Hokage I weren't able to tell you but I am ANBU captain myself. Hiashi covers me, the elders of the clan don't know or they would throw a fit' he chuckled.

'Damn those bastards. They should be proud to have an ANBU captain in the clan. It's an honor.'

'If I was a main house member possibly but I am the head of the branch house so I can't be better than the main house or so they think.'

The two children chose this moment to turn up. They seemed to be tired.

'Finished with playing?' Minato asked kindly. Naruto nodded and yawned.

'Hinata and I are hungry and thirsty Daddy' Naruto told him.

'Then let's go to the kitchen and get you two something. I hope there are some rests that haven't expired yet. Well tea will be right.'

Minato took Naruto up into his arms and Hizashi took Hinata. After a while the two sat at the floor of the living room eating some quickly cooked noodles and drinking tea. Minato made a mental note to go shopping the next day. He needed groceries and he had to buy some clothes for Naruto. The ones that were in his room were meant for an infant not a toddler. When the children finished the two adults took them upstairs to the second floor where the room Hinata stayed before and Narutos room were. After a quick visit to the bathroom where Minato added a toothbrush and toothpaste to his to buy list, he and Hizashi tuck the children in bed and left them there to sleep. Naruto was too tired to really take in the look of his room. That would be a thing he would do tomorrow. He was asleep after a few minutes with a smile on his face. This day which started as the worst of his life had turned out to be the best. His father came back; he had a new home and made a friend with Hinata. Minato smiled happy at his sons sleeping form and closed the door quietly.
