Déjà vu? Not Quite.

Chapter 11

Minato was sitting on his desk, thinking about how different his life would have been if only he could protect his daughter. And now, he couldn't help but feel a little selfish about keeping Naruto here.

After so many years, he is starting to see the same sparkle in Kushina's eyes. Which is only because of Naruto, no doubt about it. He could see the old Kushina coming back. But what will happen when Naruto went back?

No, He shook his head. That can't happen.

A knock on the door snapped Minato out of his own thoughts. He looked up and saw the toad Sanin entering, grumbling something under his breath with an extremely annoyed expression.

He blinked, "Jiraiya-sensei?"

Said Sanin send his student a flat look before sitting down in front of him with a grunt.

"What happened?" Minato asked.

Hearing his question, Jiraiya replied with a scowl, "Your brat happen."

The hokage raised his slender eyebrow, "What did Naruto do?" He couldn't help but ask. Naruto was staying with Kushina and him. In morning, before leaving, he heard them talking excitedly about cooking Ramen together.

Jiraiya frowned, "I happen to run into her and Kushina in the supermarket. There were these really hot babes giving me discounts because let's face it, No one resist my charm!" At this Minato gave him a blank look but he continued

"But then!" Jiraiya scowled, "Your brat came and called me that stupid nickname in front of everyone."

Ah, Ero-sanin was it? Minato couldn't stop the snort at that unflattering nickname.

Hearing an amuse snort from Minato, Jiraiya glared. Unfortunately, the glare turned the snort into a chuckles.
After his laugh stopped, Minato gave Jiraiya a serious look, "I doubt you came All the way here just to tell me that, sensei."

Sensing the changes in mood, Jiraiya nodded before rummaging through his robe. He took out a scroll and hand it to Minato.

Minato opened the scroll and his scanned the contents. He let out a little hum in approval before closing it and place it in the drawer with a satisfied smile.

"Kazekage-dono has excepted the request. He'll be visiting with his children in a day." He explained.

"Inu." Minato called. Silver haired anbu appeared with a bow.

"Hokage-sama." Kakashi greeted.

Minato smiled and nodded, "Kakashi, go and make preparation for Kazekage-dono's visit."

Kakashi bowed, "Of course." And disappeared.

Minato caught Jiraiya staring at the wall with a calculating look.

"Sensei?"

"Do you think we should tell the Kazekage about Naruto?" His question caught Minato off guard.

Minato blinked before giving a reassuring smile, "I trust Naruto's judgment, Sensei."

Jiraiya frowned, "But she's just a child. While you are a hokage."

"I don't know, Sensei. When I look into her eyes, I could see a lot of experience. Like she knows more than anyone of us could ever know. The way she view things in a completely different perspective is very rare. She's smarter than she let on." Minato said with knowing glint in his blue eyes.

"We'll start as soon as Kazekage arrive." Jiraiya nodded.
