Starlight Heart of Merging Soul (kakanaru)

Chapter 16

Minato and Tobirama woke up at the same time and when their eyes met with the night of the sky, they knew they already back in the land of living. Looking at themselves, they really were back into twelve year old.

Since they need to go somewhere else, they both stood up and started to walked to the Hokage tower.

When the two arrive, Tobirama knock on the door politely. They heard the permission to enter, Tobirama opened the door and they both goes inside. Closing the door, the two look at the man in front of them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen look as old as Minato remembered while Tobirama look at his protégé oddly, having didn't expect to see his student still leading the village after Namikaze died. And look at how old he had become.

The sandaime looked up from his paperwork and meet with two unknown twelve year old, and one of them looked familiar to him.

When his old mind finally remembered where he have seen the boy before, he gasped in breath. "Oh Amaterasu, so it's true." said him, talking about the letter that he receive from unknown where.

Setting up a privacy seal, he looked at the two in bewilderment. Gazing at each of them intently, he spoke. "It is you, Minato-kun. I almost didn't recognize you there because of the blue streak on your blonde hair. Tobirama-sensei too, I don't know what your childhood look like so I didn't recognize you at first but you also looked different. You have a red streak on your white hair and your eyes were mixed with blue and red now." he commented leisurely.

The two blinked and finally looked at themselves in the mirror that was set up on the corner of the room.

True to what the elderly man said, they appearance change a bit, mostly their hairstyle but they still recognizable for themself. Minato turned back to the Sandaime curiously, "How did you know it was us immediately and not think of us as imposter?" asked him, intrigued. Tobirama also looked at his student expectedly, truly piqued at the conversation.

Sarutobi hummed, thinking of what he can provide for the answer. "There is two reason why I didn't label you as an imposter immediately. One is that... I have seen you grown since you was genin and was in Jiraiya's tutelage. So, I remembered how you look like when you were young despite a bit of change. Second, I got an unknown letter telling about your reincarnation just before you two arrive. At first, I thought it was a prank but when you two arrive and make sure it wasn't genjutsu or henge, I knew the letter said the truth." explain the old man.

Minato hummed in acceptance while Tobirama were in thought, seeing that two were in their on thought, Sarutobi smiled. "How about you two took a seat while I'll give you the briefing after you two died?" offered him and gesture the couch in the room for the two suppose deceased Kage.

Tobirama shook his head, "No, you don't need to give us the briefing after I died. I'm sure I can find it in the history book in the library if I want to know about it. Just give us the briefing after Namikaze died, especially about his children. The goddess reincarnated us because of them after all." state the Senju impassively.

Hiruzen blinked yet nodded nonetheless, "Very well then."

"Sandaime." Hiruzen turned to Minato and saw the serious expression on the blonde face. "Don't leave everything behind, I want to know what truly happened to my son after I died and I want the detail of it. The goddess already gave the slight briefing of how my children have been treated after mine and Kushina death and I don't like what I have heard. So, I want to know the truth." threatened Minato in monotone voice.

Sarutobi looked conflicted but he nodded nonetheless, he can't refuse the request of the worry-ward and protective father. Beside, Minato have the right to know what the life Naruto and Haruna have been gone through because he is their father.
