"Fourth.. Fourth hokage.." I trailed off, the fourth Hokage's back to me, and I read the words 'Fourth Fire Shadow' on his back. Holy shit this guy was the real deal, he's-

"So feisty." He shook his head at Kurama, who was cursing him out from behind his cage, "Let's go somewhere more quieter okay?" And just like that we were in a whole new place, a really pretty one actually.

"You've grown up, Y/N." The fourth hokage smiled as he looked me over. 

"Hey- you know my name?" I questioned him quickly, and then reality hit my dumbass like a truck.

"Of course I do, I named you, being your dad and all." He dropped the bomb, and then I remembered everything I learned from being in Konoha with Jiraiya. I didn't even bother stopping the tears from coming, I only wiped them away.

"My dad.." I whispered out, the whole situation being so surreal, especially since I'm currently in a fight with Pain.. I guess that could wait, since this is the first time I'm meeting my dad and all. 

Oh shit I remember

I caught him off when I swung a weak punch at him, still crying like a bitch but I didn't give a shit right now.

"Y/N-"

"You bastard, why the hell would you ever seal the nine tails in your own son!" I yelled at him, pissed off beyond belief, "All my life I've been at war with basically everyone I knew, and I had to train so hard just to survive, and-and I hurt Inko and Izuku because I couldn't handle all the nightmares and the hate and so I wanted to become a hero, one that everyone could respect and admire! I had to train hard and hard and no matter what I did everyone was against me, I proved that I wasn't dangerous but that didn't stop Hanzo from making me a spectacle at the licensing exam! I was happy when I met all these new people, all my teachers who made me strong but.. but now the Akatsuki's after me and I just- damn it! I don't even know what I'm saying anymore! Am-Am I supposed to be happy or sad?!" I ranted and was losing my damn mind, so many emotions and thoughts battling for attention in my mind was hurting my head, I was so happy to see him but I was so pissed off as well. 

"Y/N.. You've been through so much, and for that I'm sorry, I really am." Minato apologized, and I turned to look at the side instead of at him, my tears finally dry.

"No.. it's fine, after all.. I am the son of the fourth Hokage.." I muttered, but from the corner of my eye I could see him smiling at me. Though he was quick to explain himself, and the backstory of the nine tails attack all those years ago, leaving me just more questions as I countered his claims. Another extremely powerful guy? I bet he's from Konoha.. damn it, so much information and I can't even take it all in properly! And I recalled the question Pain asked me, one I didn't have an answer for.

"Fourth Hokage! Please tell me, how the hell do I confront hatred.. in order to make peace, Pain asked me this and.. and I have no idea what the answer is!" I quickly questioned Minato, who paused at my question.

"I haven't a clue either, but what I do know is so long as there's love, there's always hate. Those two things are two sides of the same coin after all, and I strongly believe you'll find the answer yourself, "He put a hand on my head, despite my protests to being able to find the answer, "Jiraiya left the mission of ending this unnecessary hatred to you. So just know, if you ever don't believe in yourself, remember that the both of us do." He smiled at me, and I could feel the tears coming back again, and that's when I noticed him fading.
