Ageless Love

Secrets Unfold

Welcome back!

Let's go into the story

--------------------------

"Kuchiyose : Edo Tensei!"

Several things happened at once. A large cut appeared on the prisoners abdoment that began to rapidly leak blood with the same thing happening to Shikamaru. A blue tendril began to leave from the Shinigami before encasing the prisoner who was laying in the middle of the sealing matrix. Upon being fully encased, the man woke up and began to scream in agony as his body began to turn to ash.

Naruto appeared beside Shikamaru before placing a seal on his arm that broke his contract with the masked prisoner. The prisoner was immediately sucked into the Shinigami's stomach who disappeared directly afterwards.

Shikamaru fell into his backside as Tsunade kneeled beside him to tend to his wound. Naruto surveyed the boy's injury before nodding and turning his direction towards the center of the room.

Dull, cerulean orbs stared into a similar pair of cerulean orbs. There, in all his glory, was Minato Namikaze. His sclera was pitch black and he had numerous cracks running through his face and body. He was dawned in his infamous cloak with flames at the bottom. He had a Hiraishin kunai in his hand that he was idly spinning as he analyzed the group in front of him.

Minato's eyes gazed at the individual in front of him who could practically be his brother. This was most certainly his son. Similar hair, same eyes, same build... He had a nice sense of fashion too. A plain, white button up collared shirt with black plants and black boots.

His eyes trailed down towards his son's hands and noticed a similar looking kunai in his hand. Minato tried to sense the beacon on the kunai only to notice it didn't have one. That would mean...

"You've mastered it haven't you, Naruto?"

The Jinchuuriki nodded at his father before he began to make his towards the man. "I've mastered alot Father. Jutsus, seals, styles... There's only one thing I haven't mastered yet."

A small smile formed on Minato's face as he shifted his weight. "Kurama's Chakra."

Naruto nodded at the response before standing in front of the man. The two blond men stared at one another before the son immediately lashed out with an incredibly powerful punch. Naruto's fist embedded itself in Minato's abdomen as the man folded over his son's arm. The blow was so powerful that it blew a hole through Minato's body.

"I... deserved that one..." Minato watched on in sadness as tears began to fall from his son's eyes.

"I was... left alone... I had no one... Y-you and mother..." Naruto went silent as the 4th Hokage wrapped his arms around him. The boy said nothing else but his arms wrapped around the man returning the gesture.

A heavy frown appeared on Minatos face as his eyes gazed at Tsunade and Shikamaru who were watching the scene with frowns. His eyes closed as he began to rub his son's back to calm him down. This... wasn't the reaction he was expecting. He knew that Naruto would be upset about he and Kushina's death but... To react so heavily? Jiraiya raised him did he not? Why would say that he had no one?

Several minutes passed by in silence before Naruto pulled away and began to wipe his face. Minato glanced at his son before narrowing his eyes and crossing his arms. His gaze found Tsunades before he began to speak. "You've returned to Konoha."

The blond woman slowly stood to her feet before glancing towards Shikamaru. "Yes, I did." She made a gesture with her pinky finger as Neko appeared in the room with her hand on the Nara's shoulder. They disappeared shortly after as Tsunade began to make her way towards the men.
