KONOHA TOURNAMENT

Damn those kids, she thought to herself, her sleep interrupted. She opened her eyes; seeing herself in a confined place. What was this? She moved her arms, the feeling of the walls were right next to her. She couldn’t move very well due to the small confinement of where she was. She groaned and started to bang upon the wood. WOOD?! What was she in? Something made of wood and with only little living space. A coffin?! She started to bang upon it, now becoming irritated that she was in such a thing. She continued to bang, banging so hard that the hinges off the door came close and with one last thrust of her hand, the door flew off. She then moved herself so that she could get out. She pushed herself out; the sunlight gleaming down upon her, making her shield it with one hand, hovering over her face. She glanced around her. Wait a second, she told herself. Was this real? She remembered that something had happened, and the last thing that she remembered was Naruto’s face; his baby face in front of her and when she met him when he had been fighting for the Kyuubi’s chakra. But she had been dead. Hadn’t she? She frowned and looked at her hands. They looked real to her. Of course they did. She wiggled them around, her eyes not sure if they were playing tricks on her. Was she back from the dead? She would look around; seeing a few more coffins around her. The one next to her stood one that she remembered all too well. His symbol was one it. The Fourth Hokage’s symbol was embedded on it. She felt her heart beat once again and she knew by the looks of things, he may have been the first to go out and check what was happening. Why were they here? Who had raised them from their un-dead slumber? She began to walk and couldn’t believe how it felt. It felt good to be able to walk; good to be alive one again. Then she heard the roar of a crowd. What was going on? Drawing down her eyebrow’s, in utter confusion, she walked on ahead, towards the loud noise’s. She wondered what this was all about. The one thing that she couldn’t wait for was to see her Husband and son again. Naruto had been only a baby when she and Minato had sacrificed their lives for him. She wondered what was going on now with him. She had last seen him when she came to him when he tried to take the Kyuubi’s chakra, and even then she wished she could have stayed with him longer. But unfortunately, that couldn’t happen. She had told him their lives together and how they were looking forward to the birth of their son. She was eager to get back to her son and be reunited with her husband and son. Carrying on walking, she continued on till she managed to find the place that was filled with noise. Her eyes drew downwards as she looked around. She then noticed a bunch of blond hair, following the flowing jacket of the Fourth Hokage; the kanji inscribed upon the back. Her eyes softened as she had finally met with her husband. They must have been risen from their death’s. Minato had gone with her to the afterlife, and here he was, as if he was still alive. Her voice came to her, as she whispered softly;                                                 ❝Minato….❞

Minato would turn around as he heard the gentle whisper of the one woman whose voice gave his life meaning. He turned around and felt like he was in a dream. Seeing Kushina stand before him. She looked more beautiful than ever. He quickly ran and held her in his arms. "Kushina!!" he said with a smile. "It seems fate has brought us together again. Based off what I've gathered, we have been brought back  from the dead to participate in a tournament. Our generation versus Naruto's. We have missed seeing him grow to a genin....and well stay there. But not this time. Now we will watch him and cheer for him." he said with a smile as the first match commenced. Killer Bee Vs. Naruto. The fights were based on a point based system. Medical ninjas stood by the fighting area in case things got out of hand. However, this first match seemed to get the most attention. It was a battle of the leaf's jinchuriki vs the Cloud's. Within seconds the fight commenced. Naruto fought killer bee, and was very clever. As Minato watched, he was surprised at just how much Naruto pushed a jutsu such as a shadow clone jutsu so far. It was intense, and they both seemed to be equal. It wasn't until, Naruto pulled a harem jutsu in the form of Killer Bee's student Samui that gave him the easy victory.    Minato was so proud. His son may have had the wacky antics of Kushina, but he definitely got his strategic side from him. When the announcer announced NAruto as the winner, Minato hugged Kushina tighter. "That's my boy!!!" he said proudly. Then more matches continued. Hinata fought bravely, but lost to Darui. The 2nd Hokage made quick work of Haku, by showcasing a lot of dark jutsus. Kiba's speed was the winning factor in his match versus Tenten. Due to a very strategic move, Fugaku Uchiha stole a win from the 1st Hokage creating a huge upset. Chouji's food pills gave him the upper hand and he defeated Samui, despite the fact that he was beginning to get a huge crush on her. Love continued to bloom the battlefield, as Rock Lee defeated Sakura. He cried tears of Joy for victory, but was worried about Sakura also. Moving on, Mikoto. A good friend of Kushina had to fight the 3rd Hokage's grandson Konohamaru. Using NAruto's tactics, Konohamaru pulled a harem jutsu of his own, and surrounded Mikoto with very sexual versions of her husband Fugaku, quickly securing him the win. Next up was Kushina's match. She was up against Minato's pupil. Kakashi. "Just do your best out there. Remember, he is son of the white fang, and arguably the best of my students. His sharingan can give him access to many jutsus. So please be careful, and show him what your made of..." he said to his wife and quickly placed a soft kiss on her lips. "..For luck..." he added and the announcer would then call the name "Kushina Uzumaki" to come to the battle grounds.  

Haunted Houses can't kill you but.....

Minato was having a blast doing this. Seeing the guy who had kidnapped both himself and Mikoto in total fear, felt so refreshing. However, he realized that Mikoto should have some fun, since she fixed the controller.

After seeing her push a few buttons, and causing twice as much havoc as Minato caused was quite amusing. However, seeing the smile on her face was what made it all worth it. Minato felt guilty as he put her in this mess, and she had been kidnapped because of it. But now, she was having fun and that’s all he wanted from one of his best friends. Minato then closed his mouth trying to hold back the laughter. “Geez…Miko….always breaking things.” he said teasing her, after she gave him back the remote. “Okay, he seems scared completely. I have an idea.” Minato said and began to use the interface to but his face back on to talk to the man. "Redemption is upon you, death is near. If you want any peace in the afterlife, you must freeeee those you have binded, ummm and say 4 holy prayers in pink pajamas…" Minato said looking at Mikoto shrugging his shoulders as he really didn’t know what to say. The tall man nodded and reached in his pants for the keys, as he headed for the direction  to where Mikoto and Minato were.  "Okay Miko, just close your eyes when he comes in. I have another plan." he said as he thought of a way to not only get them out of this place, but to win the prize money as well.

Mikoto would slighly pout at him. He was laughing at her for making an accidental mistake? Like he was any better in her opinion. If it wasn’t for him, they wouldn’t exactly be in this mess. Though she holds very little to none blame against him, and even if she held more than that, he was still one of her few closest friends and wouldn’t be upset at him for long. So she dropped the puckered lip and looked pass it. She would have her turn to laugh at him in due time. He wasn’t the angel people make him out to be.

And then it occurred to her that maybe they should have not come by themselves. Maybe if they brought a friend with them the situation may have differed. Perhaps Jiraiya who holds a father figure in both her life and his. Though, he’s one of their teachers in school and he gives off an interesting class of human body development..

Mikoto cringed, shoving the mental thought aside. They weren’t in school at the moment so no need to worry about that. She remained next to Minato’s side and slight ways behind him as he took the controller back. “An idea?” She whispered in question. He was full of those tonight while she was just.. there. Minato and his brains, tsk.

The man did look frightened alright, and it was thanks to Minato here. If it were up to her, she would just end up screwing it up and getting themselves deeper in this mess. The look on the mans face suddenly made a though pop up in mind— someone dear to the both of them.

Kushina.

Oh, she would have this man running for the hills if she was here. And how Minato was acting, scaring this man perfectly, she grinned at the thought of him spending more time with the fiery red head lately than usual. She snickered as he started taunting the man once again. Pink pajamas? Minato was being kind of cruel to this man but it was surely amusing.

Hearing the part of his plan, she nodded her head and switched the light that was on and waited patiently for the man to come in.

Minato wasn't good at computers, but as he typed and went through the command center. He then found something that caught his eye. With a smile he decided to speak to the man, in the scary voice. "I know all, and see all. I even know the name of your cat is Tonton." he shouted. The man replied back with a laughter, as he had now figured this was not a possessive ghost, but a prankster. The man quickly ran to the door that had light in it. "My cat's name is Lucky". I named him that, because he was the only black cat that brought me not just luck but love." he said as he walked closer to the door. "Unfortunate for you, because now your luck is about to change..." he said and placed his hand on the door. Minato grabbed Mikoto and fell into the closet with her, as the guy entered and looked around. Within seconds Minato appeared behind him. Placing a kunai near his back. "Now, things are in our favor. You should have known that things aren't always as they appear...." he said, all of a sudden Minato disappeared and was replaced with a log. It was made clear that the Minato that placed a kunai behind the man's back was a shadow clone. Using this as a perfect diversion, Minato took Mikoto's hand and ran outside of the house. Closing the door, he placed a seal on it. "Heh...everything went perfect." he said smiling at Mikoto. "That seal was taught to me by your good friend Kushina. He wanted a haunted house, well he's got something far worse. That seal will have probably almost every sick and twisted prank Kushina ever performed when she was a kid." he said laughing as he walked with Mikoto.  "Oooh...before I forget Miko....take a look at your account. He said smiling, and showed her a phone connected to her funds. Her account read "¥17308201918 had been added to her account." Minato smiled "I told you I had a plan. The computer I was on, accessed the funds that the house had. He had been scaring and scamming people out of that house for years. His password hint was his cat's name, which is why I tricked him into telling me his pet's real name. Then I wired the money to your account. It's the least I can do for getting you into this mess." he explained.  "How about we get some lunch, I have a feeling we can definitely afford it." he added with a cheeky smile.

Understanding Women.....

Within seconds, Shizune and Minato ended back into the Hokage’s office. “Phew…that was close. Are you okay?” he asked Shizune, hoping she wasn’t too distraught from traveling at such a high speed with him. It was then Minato’s phone rang. He answered it. “Hello? Kushina….yeah…yes…I know….yeah…..really?….I know….right….okay….bye.” he said hanging up the phone. Before Shizune could even answer his question Minato picked her up and was obviously in high spirits. “That was Kushina on the phone Shizune. She saw everything on the news. It touched her so much that I was attempting to buy her something like that. She wants to make me my favorite meal tonight. This is now a time for celebrating!! The paperwork you sent me can be done anytime. Let’s go to the Casino, who knows Tunade may even be there…C’mon!!!” he said grabbing her hand and preparing to leave the office and paperwork once again. 

Shizune felt as if she was ready to vomit any minute. It was astounding that the Hokage could go that fast almost all the time.  After a few minutes, she felt stable.  Not meaning to eavesdrop on the couple’s phone call, she overheard Kushina overly happy. Out of nowhere, Shizune felt her body being lifted out of nowhere!  “Hokage-sama, I beg of you to put me down!” Shizune exclaimed. However, his excitement ignited a smile upon her face - it was good that his wife had forgiven him. “Casino….?” A shudder. Shizune could not imagine what her master was like without her there. Her job as the Hokage’s attendant had severed her time with Tsunade-sama and the rumors say the Legendary Sannin was often at casinos now.  

Carrying Shizune, Minato would not take no for an answer. Although he took the title "Hokage" very seriously. He also believed in moderation. Now was the time for him to enjoy life, as well as Shizune. If he was honest with himself, that's all Kushina wanted. She didn't want Minato the fourth Hokage. She wanted Minato her husband. "Yes, a Casino Shizune. Who knows, you might win big money. Then you can buy all of the jewelry you want, or a new pearl necklace for Tonton." he suggested, and within a "flash", they appeared in front of Konoha's local casino. "Ready?" he asked her as he put her down so she could walk for herself.

Minato began to laugh. “No need to thank me Tenten. Just continuing being yourself. Be happy. Learn from your mistakes, and continue to grow. I’m sure that’s what Naruto wants. He is my son, and I know he wants everyone to be happy. Not sad, like he was when he was growing up. So please go on and be happy.” Minato said with a smile.

"…..Lord Fourth—- I Don’t know what else to say….except thank you once again.” she said tearing up slightly. ”You are a good man…” she said wiping her eyes with arm. 

Minato placed his hand on Tenten's head."....And you are the future..." he said, smiling brightly at Tenten. He then came up with an idea. "Hmm, how would you like to train with me? You can show me your jutsus and such. Would you like that?" he asked her.

Children can be innocent but......

  Minato felt enraged that Kushina saw him as a chicken. First a flaky girly boy, and now a cowardly chicken. He had to prove himself. "I don’t fear anything Kushina. I just don’t see the point or joy in pleasing those who will one day want to protect me….their future Hokage". he said proudly as he knew his dream would come true once he was older. Minato wasn’t too scared for he had a jutsu that could get both him and Kushina out of harms way in no time. However, what would sensei Jiraiya think of him, if he uses his jutsu on pranks like these. Then again, their had been many times that Jiraiya had used his sage jutsu’s just to get a girl’s number. As his pupil, he had to honor his perverted master.

"Fine Kushina….let’s do it. But you better not mess this up. I mean, the Triple F (First Future Female) Hokage can surely perform a prank. If not, how can she be trusted with a mission? So all of the pressure is on you I’m afraid." he said winking at her.

Oh dear lord, he was actually going to be involved in this prank. Had he seen the light?! She snickered, a hand over her mouth as she  stopped before a laugh came out. She didn’t want to alert the Jounin in front of them. She held the bug onto a small piece of string, and tied it to a twig. She secured it, before  looking at Minato and shook her head. “ No gut’s pants. Seriously—-!” She danged the twig up high, high above the Jounin’s head.  One of them caught sight of the bug first, and  screamed. The loud scream knocked Kushina backwards, startling her, but she burst out laughing. The Jounin caught her, and pointed to her. “ That damned Habanero! Get her! ” Due to her laughing, she heard them strike, and she ran towards the bushes, trying to hide. They were close behind her, as they were Jounins themselves, and Kushina found it hard to keep out of their reach. They shouted at her to come back; to teach her a lesson. But she kept on running. Minato was no where in sight. Oh yeah, he just left her to deal with this on her own, some friend he was. 

Things seemed to go very fast. Minato couldn't explain it, but somehow this girl with lovely red hair had talked him into playing a juvenile prank on some jounins who he held a high respect for. He continued to watch on. Minato saw Kushina's plan and found at least 29 faults with it. The main one was obvious, she was planting a bug Jounin's who were sensor types. These particular two were easily Konoha's best. Chances were they sensed her before she was two feet behind them.  However, Minato was very impressed either Kushina was really stupid or really gutsy. Either way, he began to see a side of her he never saw in the classroom. It was a side that showed Kushina's true form.  When the Jounin's caught sight of the bug they chased Kushina. Minato shook his head and sighed. He knew he couldn't just let her get in trouble. After all, it was his duty to watch over her at all times. If Kushina was caught, then it would result in a failed mission. Which was unacceptable in his eyes. Right when the jounin caught up to Kushina, a strong wind was felt. The leaves on the ground moved, and the bushes moved as well but only for a second. In that split second, Kushina was gone.  High above on the top branch of a tree was Kushina with Minato standing near her. Using his special ability, he was able to move her from the ground to this tree. As he looked on, he saw the Jounin walk away somewhat clueless. He would smile at Kushina as if nothing happened. "Nice prank Kushina...maybe next time you'll get them." he said encouraging her.

Children can be innocent but......

  Minato wasn’t quite sure of what to do here. He was instructed to show Kushina a good time, and to introduce her to everyone. However, she seemed to want to cause pranks on Jounin. People, who he was meant to look up to and not scare. "I don’t know Kushina, I mean wouldn’t that be a mean thing to do?" Minato asked as he was not the type to cause pranks. He would laugh at them, but never cause them. With that being said, he had orders to make sure she enjoyed herself. That had to be the reason, or maybe he didn’t want Kushina to think he truly was a flaky girly boy. Just the thought of getting caught, and having his superiors look down on him scared Minato. However, saying “no” to Kushina also was a bit scary. He had to do something. How would he look as Hokage, being scared to do things.

"Ar-Are you sure we won’t get caught Kushina?" he asked one more time, before he decided if he was going to go ahead with this prank that the redhead  had in mind,

Kushina rolled her eyes, narrowing her gaze  towards the blond. What was he scared of? “  What’s wrong Minato? Chicken…? ” She made a ‘clucking’ sound like a chicken, eager to get him mad. If he did get mad that was. As far as she could see; he was a girly-boy, and didn’t want to do anything bad.  She went closer to his face, her nose inches away from his own. “ Too scared, blondie?  Don’t worry, we won’t get caught, ya know. I’m the queen at this, ya know! ” That was a little over-to-top, but it was true. She used to pull pranks back home, but now that she had moved here to Konoha, she was unsure about anyone  and having Minato around, they would be able to  leave the scene quickly.  “ Your my get-away! All you gotta do is get us outta here once the prank has happened, so we don’t get caught, ya know ”

Minato felt enraged that Kushina saw him as a chicken. First a flaky girly boy, and now a cowardly chicken. He had to prove himself. "I don't fear anything Kushina. I just don't see the point or joy in pleasing those who will one day want to protect me....their future Hokage". he said proudly as he knew his dream would come true once he was older.

Children can be innocent but......

like Kushina. Being knew, you would think she would be more shy. But she was already declaring that she would be Hokage. After feeling her cling to his arm. Minato scratched his head, trying to figure her out.

"Okay, well I’ll start by taking you to the Hokage monument. It’s outside, and my face…ermm…I mean our faces might be up there someday. Also, please refrain from calling me names." Minato said with a smile on his face. He couldn’t explain it, but there was something about this girl that he liked. She had what many did not have…"guts". As they walked Minato saw two jounin sitting down not paying attention into anything in particular. He began to wonder just how long it would be before he made it to their level.

The young red head felt her face beam a bright crimson, but she didn’t let it show. She didn’t want Minato getting the wrong idea.  She decided it was best to introduce herself, since she had been a little rude to him; when she hardly knew anything about him. Nor his reputation. That might have been higher than her own. Maybe far greater, and here she was calling herself Hokage. She clung to his arm, and sniffled a giggle.  “ Oh—Okay, Mr Hokage-wannabe! Whatevverrr you say c’mon!” She ushered him up the road and noticed the two Jounin that sat nearby.They were in their own world; not even paying attention to her nor Minato. A good environment to cause a prank.  She blushed and clung to Minato’s arm for a second longer, before she looked up towards him.  “ Oh this is a perfect time to pull a prank, ya know! They won’t even notice us! C’mon! Behind the tree! ” She giggled with delight as she made her way behind  the two Jounin’s, who were sat minding their own  business. She bent down beside the tree, her voice low enough for only Minato to hear. “ Alright, these two have been the butt of my pranks  for a long time now, let’s see how they like it when they’re the butt of my pranks, ne? ”   She caught a small little bug in the palm of her hand, brushing it front of Minato’s face.  “ Alright, we need some string, and we’ll tie to the twig  and swing it in front of their faces, I know one of them is scared of bugs, ya know! ”

Minato wasn't quite sure of what to do here. He was instructed to show Kushina a good time, and to introduce her to everyone. However, she seemed to want to cause pranks on Jounin. People, who he was meant to look up to and not scare. "I don't know Kushina, I mean wouldn't that be a mean thing to do?" Minato asked as he was not the type to cause pranks. He would laugh at them, but never cause them. With that being said, he had orders to make sure she enjoyed herself.

"Ar-Are you sure we won't get caught Kushina?" he asked one more time, before he decided if he was going to go ahead with this prank that the redhead  had in mind,

Children can be innocent but......

Minato was called on by the sensei of the ninja academy. Due to his good grades, he was asked to show the new girl Kushina Uzumaki around. Minato nodded happily and approached the redhead. "Hello Kushina, I don’t know if you remember me, but I am Minato. I will become Hokage someday, and I have been chosen to show you around Konoha. Isn’t that exciting?" he asked smiling brightly, hoping Kushina was happy with him showing her around.

Damn these Konoha freaks! Showing off every moment that they got. She rolled her eyes at how enthusiastic he was being. How can someone be so cheerful about showing people around their new school? She folded her arms across her chest; and answered him back. “ Oh yeah———e x c i t i n g--really! I do remember you—your that flaky girly boy from my class, right? And actually—-I’m gonna become the first Female Hokage, ya know!  ”

She then clung to his arm, put her own through his own and stood her ground next to him.  “ Well, show the future Hokage around, why don’t ‘cha? ”

Minato had never met a girl like Kushina. Being knew, you would think she would be more shy. But she was already declaring that she would be Hokage. After feeling her cling to his arm. Minato scratched his head, trying to figure her out. "Okay, well I'll start by taking you to the Hokage monument. It's outside, and my face...ermm...I mean our faces might be up there someday. Also, please refrain from calling me names." Minato said with a smile on his face. He couldn't explain it, but there was something about this girl that he liked.

Tenten looked down averting her eyes, because of friends? Well that she didn’t believe, she was mean to him as much as the other kids when she was small. ”….Yeah….I am glad he was brought into this world—- Thank you….Lord fourth.” tenten said holding her hands together infront of her chest. 

Minato began to laugh. "No need to thank me Tenten. Just continuing being yourself. Be happy. Learn from your mistakes, and continue to grow. I'm sure that's what Naruto wants. He is my son, and I know he wants everyone to be happy. Not sad, like he was when he was growing up. So please go on and be happy." Minato said with a smile.
