Chapter Twenty Two

It was just after breakfast that Naruto, Minato and Kushina finally managed to sit down a have the discussion that Minato was promised. Newborn, Kōji, was nestled in his mother's arms, eyes closed and sleeping peacefully. There was a cot right next to the red headed parent, but she was still lost in the bliss of being a mother for the first time, and didn't want to let her child out of her sight for more than a second.

Minato had sent a Kage Bunshin to the Hokage's office in order to sign paperwork and help with the rebuilding of Konoha in order for this meeting to happen. He would probably get chewed up went he went to the office the next day by a number of people, especially for taking Naruto with him last night, or early that morning, but what most people forgot was that Konoha was a military dictatorship first and foremost.

The blond kage didn't like to pull a rank or use his authority to muscle others around but that didn't mean that he wouldn't use it if the situation called for it.

Now, the three, four if the baby was also counted, people were seated in the Namikaze pair's living room. Minato and Kushina, who was holding Kōji, were seated on a couch while Naruto took the one that was opposite them, a coffee table separating Naruto from his son, daughter-in-law and grandchild.

Minato was dressed in his normal shinobi attire, which made Naruto to want to take his son shopping for clothes if to only see him in something different, and Kushina wore clothes more suited for a housewife than a shinobi, Naruto guessed that the red head was looking to a change of occupation.

Naruto was dressed in a plain white, long sleeved kimono and long hakama pants. His disguise was off, barring the illusion over his eyes, which were shown as a purple colour, and his now unconscious usage of the Shikotsumyaku (Dead Bone Pulse), as his ability to manipulate bones was now called, to hide the horns that sprouted from his forehead. Naruto's white hair trailed down his back, pooling on the couch cushion he was sitting on, it reminded Naruto that he might need to trim his hair sometime in the future. He liked the white mane that travelled down his back, but that didn't mean that Naruto liked his hair getting tangled in between his legs when he walked.

The group had only just sat down and no one was saying a word, Naruto was waiting for his son to speak, this whole conversation having been for him, Minato was trying to find somewhere to start, all the questions that he had in his mind vanishing the moment he sat down, and Kushina was still trying to figure out what exactly was going on.

Minato had only told her that Naruto wasn't who he seemed earlier in the morning, giving what he had said was an abbreviated version, while also dropping the metaphoric Gamabunta on her. When she had demanded he tell her why he hadn't shared this information earlier when she had him by the ear, he had squeaked out a response of Kōji just being born, wanting for her to spend time with their child without her mind on something else and bring asleep when he came back after that ANBU member appeared in their room during the night.

Having heard that it mostly wasn't her husband's fault for the withholding of information, Kushina had let the blond go on a warning.

Unfortunately, due to how recently she had received the information, she hadn't been able to sort out her own personal opinion on the matter, nor full process what Minato had told her, resulting in a rather embarrassing encounter with Naruto when the male had walked into the living room, while she had been in the kitchen, with no disguise on. She had, to her everlasting shame as a kunoichi, not recognised her husband's father for who he was and had thought the white haired man in their house was an intruder or some kind of assassin. The effect of that meeting was her chasing Naruto around the apartment and attacking him with taijutsu while the white haired man had tried to convince her of who he was while dodging. Only when Minato had emerged from their bedroom, where he had been getting changed, and reminded Kushina of who Naruto was had the red headed stopped trying to clobber the white haired man with a sheepish chuckle.
