The Fourth Hokage's body was never found, but they never suspected that was because he hadn't died. Minato Namikaze wakes up six years after the devastating Kyuubi attack, alone in an overgrown clearing with not a scratch on him. Disoriented and confused, he does exactly what any father would do in this situation. He fights through the pain, gets up, and goes to find his son. He trudges through the pounding in his head and forces himself to move-- to go and find him, because that masked man was still out there, and Minato is willing to do anything to protect his little ball of sunshine. Needless to say, the blonde kage wasn't expecting so much time to have passed. Nor is he very impressed with the way the village has been treating his son all these years.

Naruto didn't expect anyone to notice-much less care. Feverish and fading, he waited for the world to forget him like it always did. But one person didn't walk away. Kakashi Hatake saw the signs, heard the silence, and made a choice. He stayed. This is the story of a boy who needed saving-and the sensei who refused to let him disappear. I don't own anything except my laptop, brain, Idea, and the story.

Kakashi is used to silence, to pain, and to never letting anyone see how deeply it runs. But when poison and fever force him into Minato and Kushina's care, the walls he built begin to falter. What he doesn't expect is that even a sleepy toddler and his innocent worries about "bumps" might be the ones to anchor him home.
