Chapter Text
The forest of death as dangerous as it may sound made a pretty good place for an afternoon nap, the trees in the forest made by the first hokage were thrumming with nature chakra. Minato yawned as he stretched out, the shade was cool, the sun was not blazing down on his face, the wind was just right, and the world was at peace.Until...
“Stop right there bakakashi,” yelled a flying bright neon yellow blob who did a somersault mid air while flinging a dozen shuriken at the lone hatake.
“it was you wasn't it, admit it and i'll let you off easy. Gaah, stay in one place so that I can hit you, you bastard.”
Kakashi rolled his eyes flipping down from the tree he landed on, “maybe you should come back to say it to me after you learn how to hit a standing target let alone a moving one”.
Obito took a quick glance at Rin who looked like she wanted to say something and fumed, his face turning so red it could be partially visible through all the slob covering it.
“Stop talking and fight back, you bastard, “ he yelled while doing the hand signs for the uchiha standard fireball.
Minato heaved a sigh before he got up to separate his students before they maimed each other, but quickly stiffened when he sensed an approaching chakra signature.
He quickly grabbed his two students and sunshined away when a monstrous black serpent burst out from the ground below them spewing a cloud of poisonous fumes.
It writhed out of the ground and set its sight on them, Minato cursed his luck and was halfway through the hand seals when katon: gokakyuu no jutsu a massive fireball crashed onto the snake before it went up in flames.
Definitely an uchiha was the first thought through minato’s head when he saw him. He was fair-skinned with spiky, black hair that had a slight blue tint to it, he wore a black shirt with a high-collar left slightly open with blue pants and bandages around his shins.
Minato narrowed his eyes as he tensed, he had not sensed him, Minato was a ninja who was famous because of his speed but he was also a damn good sensor, he had not sensed him approaching. Minato would have almost suspected him of being a civilian if he had not seen that big ass fireball. It was huge even for an uchiha and with the amount of chakra it burned the other guy must have pretty good reserves and pretty good at hiding it.
“Well, that was the last one”, said a voice to the left as he swiveled around. He had not sensed her either. She had straight blonde hair that she wore in a high ponytail with the bluest of eyes Minato had ever seen. She was beautiful in an aristocratic way, a face you'd see on posters of period dramas.
“Hn,” he said, his voice barely audible and if Minato had any doubts that he was uchiha before he was sure now. They were konoha ninja, they had headbands, the girl wore it on her head with long tails which fluttered in the wind and the boy had it wrapped around his arm. With a start he realised that's what they were, a boy and a girl, still children, no older than his cute students, they couldn't be older than 15.
He was about to speak when an anbu sunshined before them, “ senju sama, uchiha sama the hokage is requesting your presence.”
Minato did a double take on the name when the newly dubbed uchiha moved to the girl who glanced at obito and kakashi briefly before they both disappeared with a swirl of leaves.
The only known senju was tsunade of the sannin but she was nowhere that young unless she had a daughter. The anbu briefly bowed to minato before he disappeared and minato was left to his thoughts.
A month ago he had been woken up in the middle of the night by his hysterical girlfriend. The kyuubi had disappeared and the seal was gone.
Minato as groggy as he was hiraishined the hokage’s office and all anbu patrolled the village while a few team of jounin’s and hunter nin’s were sent to scope out near the village.
But two weeks ago the hokage had abruptly called off the search, he would not budge though the council was very vocal in its opinions. The weirdest of all was the rumors of a new jinchuriki spreading through the anbu life wildfire. Even his perverted sensei couldn't get anything out of the hokage or the tight lipped anbu and was as clueless as he was.
Minato sighed as he ran his hand through blond hair and half heartedly went through the motions of getting his team ready for the chunin exams. The two mysterious shinobi never left his mind.

Narumi ran her hand through raven hair as her eyes glazed over, the raven lying in her lap let out a quiet sigh.
“What are you thinking about rokudaime sama” he asked, with a hint of teasing in his usually cold voice. She didn't reply, still staring off into something he couldn't see.
“He is different from what we knew wasn't he,”
“Hmm”
“People change naru, you know what he had to go through”
“It's not going to happen this time”
“No it is not, that's why we are here aren't we”
“This time it'll be different”
She sighed and closed her eyes, resting her back on the tree she was leaning on and smiled, while Sasuke burrowed into her abdomen.
