Road to Parenthood : Datte bane-bayo-basa combine forces! (Part one)

"Ready?" Minato asked Kushina as they stood outside the front door.

Kushina took a deep breath and nodded her head in agreement. Minato smiled at the anxiousness of his wife and held her hand in support. Kushina looked at Minato and gave a faint smile.

Minato then raised his other hand to gently knock on the door. They both looked at each other and gave reassuring smiles.

"You think we came by too early?" Minato asked.

"What if he didn't make the right choice?" Kushina asked out of context.

"What?" Minato asked caught off-guard by the question.

"I mean who let's their husband sleep till 8 am!" Kushina said in a judgmental tone.

"A good wife?" Minato said rhetorically.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Kushina asked with her hands on her hips. She looked at Minato with a raised eyebrow waiting for him to dig his own grave.

"They must still be sleeping." Minato said in an attempt to change the topic. He tried his luck again, knocked on the door harder.

"You are not knocking hard enough!" Kushina complained.

"I can't be too loud, what if we wake up the neighbors? We already took a risk coming as late as 8 am. People are already up and awake by now. We can be easily spotted." Minato justified.

"Well standing here won't help either, might as well knock harder so we can go in!" Kushina argued.

Minato pressed his ear on the door, "I think I heard someone."

Kushina was running out of patience.

"MOVE!" Kushina said and pushed Minato aside making him almost loose his balance and land over the bushes. She smacked her clenched fist on the door causing loud bangs. She heard footsteps ascending faster towards the door. As soon as Kushina heard the click of the door unlocking, she pushed it open and threw herself inside.

"Open faster-ttebane!" Kushina complained.

The swung door made Hinata lean against the wall, very close to it hitting her face. She saw Kushina enter hurriedly inside. Hinata's eyes grew wide. She began to mumble nervously.

Minato welcomed himself in closing the door behind him. He looked at Hinata with an apologetic smile. "Sorry about that." He said and smiled at Hinata.

"Hmm I mm.." Hinata continued to stutter.

Naruto's eyes opened wide at the sudden commotion. He dragged himself out of the bed and walked towards the noise, rubbing his eyes trying to regain vision from his sleep.

"Hinata, whats going on.." Naruto asked. He then noticed the other occupants in the room. He froze on his feet, wide eyed. "What the.."

"Naruto!" Kushina said and paced towards him. She engulfed her son in a tight hug.

Naruto's eyes were still wide, he first looked at the person hugging him and then turned to the person smiling next to the door.

"Mom? Dad?" Naruto asked not quite understanding the situation. 'Am I dreaming?' He thought to himself.

Kushina withdrew herself from Naruto and looked at him with soggy eyes. She then lifted both her hands and placed them on his face lovingly.

Naruto was beginning to get butterflies in his stomach, 'Is this really happening?' he thought to himself, a smile slowly emerging on his face.

Kushina smiled back and withdrew her hands from his face, and before anyone could speak she smacked her palm on Naruto's cheek. And before anyone could react to the unexpected slap, Kushina held Naruto by the collar.

"WHY WERE YOU UP SO LATE LAST NIGHT?!" Kushina questioned in a threatening way.

"WHAT?!" Naruto said not quite understanding what was happening.

"WHERE YOU DOING SOMETHING YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING!" Kushina said and tightened her grip on his collar.

"HUH?!" Naruto asked confused.

"DID YOU ATLEAST USE PROTECTION!?" Kushina shouted louder.

"Kushina!"Minato rushed towards them and tried to unclench her fist. Hinata followed.

"Please be a dream! Please be a dream!" Naruto closed his eyes and wished , not wanting to talk to his mother about sex.

Kushina finally let go, her eyes still ripe with fury.

"Are you okay?" Minato asked at a coughing Naruto. While Hinata helped Naruto maintain his balance.

"What was that-ttebayo?!" Naruto asked baffled.

"Well young man we were supposed to come by yesterday night, but someone.." Kushina pointed at Naruto and Hinata. "..was busy on the sofa!"

"Kushina enough. He is a grown man." Minato tried to cover up.

"I atleast expect him to use protection, didn't anyone teach you these things! What was Jiraiya-sama doing! Wait..do you even know what a condom is?" Kushina asked and took a step back dreaded upon realizing maybe no one had taught him anything.

Naruto was just stunned with what was happening. One minute he sees his parents out of nowhere, hugging him and the next thing you know she is slapping him and asking him to use a condom?

Hinata saw her husband completely dumbfounded and decided to buckle up. She began, "Well Kushina-sama.."

Kushina's eyes shifted to Hinata.

"Yes?" Kushina asked.

A chill ran down Hinata's spine, she walked behind Naruto for cover. "N…n..nothing."

"You are scaring the girl Kushina." Minato said.

Kushina just looked at Minato and let go of her stiff posture. Naruto looked at his mom, he walked towards her and embraced her in a tight hug.

"I don't know if this is a dream or a genjutsu or you guys are her for real. Whatever it is, I was waiting for you." Naruto said.

Kushina's anger melted away. She lifted her arms and placed it around Naruto and rested her head on his chest.

"You have grown tall." Kushina stated matter of factly.

Naruto laughed, Kushina reached only upto his shoulders now. He placed a kiss on his mother's hair before withdrawing themselves.

"And you have cut your hair short too." Kushina said and ran her hand over his hair feeling the light spikes. "You look all grown up and..." Kushina said and held him tightly.

"And handsome?" Naruto asked looking at her.

"You know it-ttebane!" Kushina said wiping off a tear overflowing her eye.

"I'm your son after all-ttebayo!" Naruto said reassuringly.

Naruto then turned towards Minato. They both gave each other a tight hug.

"How you been?" Minato asked.

"Good dad." Naruto said.

Kushina looked at her first ever father son moment, a moment she has always craved for. She couldn't resist it anymore, she ran at them and threw her arms around them, "Group hug!"

Naruto and Minato laughed and let her join. Naruto looked around and actioned Hinata to join. She just shook her head and let him enjoy his moment. Naruto realizing Hinata's shyness didn't push it and continued the hug.

After everyone was completely satisfied by the embrace, they let go.

Naruto took a step back and held out his hand for Hinata to hold, once she did he pulled her closer. "Mom, Dad, let me officially introduce you to my wife- Hinata."

Hinata bowed to both individually.

Kushina looked at the formality and waved her hand to brush it away, "Oh please." She said and went ahead and embraced Hinata. Minato smiled at the gesture. 'Maybe she is convinced by his choice.' Minato thought to himself.

Hinata smiled at her in laws, "Kushina-sama, Hokage-sama please have a seat. I will get you something to eat."

"Call me Minato.."

"What is with this formality-ttebane! Call me mom and call him dad." Kushina said.

"Exactly." Minato agreed. "Why don't you freshen up and then worry about feeding us."

"Okay." Hinata bowed once again and excused herself.

"I'll just quickly wash my face and come back!" Naruto said.

Kushina and Minato nodded in agreement. They started looking around the house.

"She is nice huh?" Minato whispered to Kushina.

"I don't like her." Kushina deadpanned.

"What?" Minato looked at her baffled.

"Her nice girl act isn't fooling me." Kushina said as she picked up a photoframe containing Naruto and Hinata's wedding picture.

"What act?" Minato asked.

"Oh please! Isn't she the Hyuuga heiress?" Kushina said.

"So?" Minato asked.

"Do I need to say more?" Kushina looked at him as if he was stupid.

"Well..yes?" Minato said.

"Even if I were to buy her act, didn't I ask him to find someone like me? Is it so hard for a son to fulfill his mother's dying wish?" Kushina said.

"Well in his defense, he is already very much like you. Two Kushina's will just end up burning up the house." Minato pointed out.

"Burning up the house?! What are you trying to imply? That I …"

"I'm back!" Naruto hopped his way back to the room.

Minato and Kushina plastered a fake smile on their faces.

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked looking at their unnatural look.

"Hmm your dad..hmm he farted." Kushina said and ran her hand over her face to exhaust the imaginary smell. Minato just looked at his wife in disbelief. He looked back at Naruto to justify.

"Really?" Naruto asked. "I can't smell anything." He sniffed harder.

"Never mind." Minato said sweatdrops on his forehead.

Hinata entered the room carrying a tray in hand. She offered them some orange juice, while they made themselves comfortable on the sofa. Naruto then began the conversation to the point, "So I am assuming this isn't a dream. When did you caste us in a Genjutsu?"

Kushina and Minato looked at each other.

"I suppose Sasuke-kun told you about Itachi-kun's visit." Minato said.

"Yes, I pulled out every little detail about it. You should thank me for how well I planned out the scenario for you to avoid you any trouble-ttebayo!" Naruto said gleaming.

"Well Naruto this isn't a genjutsu." Kushina said.

"What? Wait, am I dreaming?" Naruto asked and looked at Hinata who gave a dumb founded look.

"No son, this is reality." Minato said.

"Huh?" Naruto asked. "How ..but ..what?"

"Well you aren't dreaming. We didn't caste you in a genjutsu, we just.." Minato looked at Kushina and turned back to Naruto again. "..stopped by!"

"Is that.. like.. safe?" Naruto asked.

"Well actually it isn't. It is very risky infact. But…" Minato looked at Kushina again.

"Oh gosh fine!" Kushina looked at Minato who was indirectly accusing her for the situation. "I just didn't want to go through all the trouble to caste you in a genjutsu and all of that. Itachi-kun had the patience but we .."

"You." Minato corrected.

"Yes yes I clearly don't! Not to mention we had to go back last night, because you know..you were busy." Kushina said with a disapproving tone. "But I just really wanted to meet you and the family! We initially planned to visit when you would be inaugurated as the Hokage but then we got to know you have been going out of your way to make things easier for us." Kushina said placing her hand over her chest. "I just couldn't take it anymore!"

Naruto just looked at his mom's feelings soaring up.

"The night we came over she actually ran out without prior permission from The Sage. Thankfully I followed her, and thankfully you two were..busy, so we went back and although we got quite a bad hearing from The Sage.."

"Oh please! That old man had nothing over me! I demanded him to let me go-ttebane!"

"Yeah yeah. So now we are here with permission ."

"But I still don't understand, if I made everything so comfortable for you why didn't you just take advantage of it and caste us in the genjustsu. And if this is reality then what happens when.."

"Obaa-san?"

The four elders in the room turned their heads towards the sound. An eye rubbing miniature version of Naruto stood beside the bedroom door frame in his pyjamas. Naruto's worry had just spoken for himself.

Minato and Kushina both stood up. Kushina held both her hands across her chest. "Is that?" she asked with a quivering voice.

"That is Bolt. Your grandson." Naruto stated with a smile.

Kushina knelt down to reach the tot's height and spread out her hands, "Come her big boy." She called out to Bolt.

Bolt ran at her and wrapped his arms around her neck. Kushina lifted herself up, carrying him with her. Bolt was covered under Kushina's long luscious hair. He jolted out his head from in-between them and looked at Minato.

"Ojii-san!" Bolt called out to Minato.

The grandparents sat down on the sofa with their grandson on Kushina's lap and they began bonding.

"Are you sure this is okay Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked Naruto softly.

"I'm sure they thought of something before just landing up here." Naruto tried to justify for his parents. "And just look at Bolt, he recognized them from just a handful of photographs we had. "

Naruto looked at Hinata's worried face, he rested his arm over her shoulder. "Let's just savor the moment." Naruto assured Hinata, who responded with a reassuring smile.

"You have grown so big!" Kushina said. "You look just like me!"

"What? He looks nothing like you. He looks like me!" Minato corrected his wife.

"OH PLEASE! That's not true at all!" Kushina argued.

"He has blonde hair and blue eyes like me!" Minato countered.

"Well that explains nothing-ttebane!" Kushina disputed.

"That's right-ttebasa!" Bolt supported.

The grandparents looked at Bolt stunned. "-tte..basa?" Kushina repeated slowly. She quickly hugged Bolt in a tight bear hug. "See…see! He is exactly like me!"

Minato brushed Bolt's hair, "Well can't argue there." Minato said smiling.

Hinata slowly held Naruto's hand and intertwined her fingers with his and gave it a light squeeze. She could sense him tearing up looking at the heartwarming moment he had always craved for. He gave her hand a squeeze back.

"Don't count me out-ttebayo!" Naruto said and joined them.

"Ready Mom?" Naruto asked placing his palm around the door knob.

"Yosh!" Kushina gave an enthusiastic response.

"Dad?" Naruto asked looking at Minato.

Minato gave a confident nod. Naruto slowly turned the knob a bit before speaking, "Now I don't know if she is still sleeping so you need to be qui…"

"Just open the door-ttebane!" Kushina said impatiently.

"Okay okay. Here we go." Naruto said and turned around the knob completely unlocking the door.

Kushina, Minato and Naruto entered the master bedroom. The curtains were draped so the room was not too lit even though it was early morning. But even in the unlit room they could see a cradle next to the bed.

Kushina walked towards the cradle holding Minato's hand. All three surrounded the baby. Himawari was fast asleep, sucking on her thumb.

"Mom, dad this is your granddaughter." Naruto said smiling.

"She is so precious." Kushina said wiping off a tear.

"She looks like an angel." Minato added. "What did you name her?"

"Himawari." Naruto replied.

Kushina gave out a loud gasp. "Sunflower!" She translated the name and placed her palm over her mouth, trying to hold back her tears. "That's beautiful."

Minato held Kushina by the shoulder and gave her a comforting side hug. "She is a little sensitive these days." Minato assured Naruto.

"I am not-ttebane!" Kushina said and turned her face towards Minato and wiped her running nose on his sleeve.

"I'm just so happy you named her Himawari." Kushina said sniffing. "It's just..I had a talk with Mikoto…"

"Mikoto?" Naruto asked.

"Sasuke's mother." Minato replied.

"I spoke to her after Sarada was born." Kushina continued. "And I was just under the fear that you will choose a name off the menu too! But you didn't and I'm just so proud of you!" Kushina said and walked over to Naruto and held him sideways. Naruto welcomed the hug.

"But Mom..my name is off a menu too." Naruto stated.

"No its not!" Kushina responded.

"My name is an ingredient in Ramen." Naruto said matter of factly.

"But that's totally different!" Kushina said.

"How?" Minato asked not sure himself.

"First of all the name is not part of the menu since it is an ingredient of a dish in a menu!" Kushina argued. "Secondly we didn't think of it like that. We named you after a strong character from a not so successful book."

"Since it is not successful people just think I'm named after Ramen." Naruto said.

"And what have I told you about not caring about what people think?" Kushina said looking at Naruto nodding her head disapprovingly.

"That is completely off context." Naruto said confused looking at Minato.

"Son, never argue with a woman. Even if you win, things will only get worse." Minato said.

Naruto laughed, while Kushina grunted. Naruto held his mom tighter, "Anyway, she should be up in sometime. I just don't want to wake her up."

"Don't. Let her sleep." Kushina said with a smile as she admired Himawari.

The three adults left the room. Hinata was setting up the dining table for breakfast.

"Where is Bolt?" Minato asked Hinata.

"He is just getting done freshening up, he should be done any minute Hokage-sa.."

"Aa." Minato said waving his index finger sideways correcting her.

"Hmm dad." Hinata corrected herself and smiled.

"Better." Minato said and smiled.

They seated themselves across the table. Naruto and Hinata seated next to each other, while Minato and Kushina seated themselves on the opposite side facing them.

Naruto looked at Hinata, Hinata gave a slight nod. Naruto then looked at his parents and started, "So I was wondering since you guys didn't use genjutsu, what plan did you make regarding Bolt?"

Kushina and Minato looked at each other hesitantly. Kushina turned to Naruto and began, "Hmm well we do kind of have a plan."

"That is not a plan Kushina." Minato corrected her.

"What plan?" Naruto asked.

"We could do that." Kushina said looking at Minato.

"We are not going to do that. It's not possible." Minato said.

"What is it? Maybe we could help." Hinata said.

"Well we.." Kushina began.

"Kushina please." Minato stopped her. He got up from the chair and paced around, a habit he used when he needed to think better.

"What is it?" Naruto asked, again.

"It could be worth a try."

"We are not doing that!"

"We could definitely help."

"Can someone tell me what it is?"

"We won't know until we try!"

"I won't allow it!"

The hurdled overlapping conversation continued for a while until Naruto slightly banged his hand on the table to get everyone's attention, in which he succeeded.

"Can someone tell me what it is-ttebayo!" Naruto said.

"WecouldjustknockBoltout." Kushina blurted out in a hurry.

Naruto didn't quite believe what he heard. "What?"

Kushina just looked at the couple and gave a smile.

"Did I hear you right? We could just knock Bolt out?" Naruto asked again.

"Maybe?" Kushina said and looked away avoiding eye contact.

Hinata just blinked her eye continuously. Kushina saw the shock on their faces and looked up at Minato who shrugged his shoulder like a 'I told you so' look.

"Okay it's not the best idea! At the end of the day we could just knock him on his pressure point and he will pass out. It will be hours before he wakes up and then he will just think he was dreaming!" Kushina said.

"How! He will realize he spent a whole day. He won't think he just skipped a day!" Naruto argued.

Kushina grew silent. "Good point." She slouched slightly under the chair and thought to herself. "We didn't really think it through." She confessed.

Naruto looked at Minato in shock. Minato gave a loud sigh.

"Okay we are in a tight situation." Minato stated the obvious. "But we coul.."

"Ojii-san!" Bolt sprinted inside the room and jumped onto Minato's back.

"Hey!" Minato huffed out at the sudden weight, and helped Bolt to leach on by placing his hands for Bolt to sit on for support.

The other three looked on and plastered a fake smile to play along with Bolt's obliviousness.

"I..aa..I'll plate breakfast." Hinata said and walked over the kitchen.

Naruto looked at Minato and Bolt. Minato was running around the house and helped Bolt pick out his SuperBolt cape. He then helped him wear it and carried him around again while Bolt swayed his cape in the air. Naruto was so glad they are all able to spend time together like this, but Itachi did what he did for a reason. This isn't going to last, how is Bolt supposed to understand that?

"That was delicious Hinata." Minato said munching on his breakfast.

"Mom makes the best food ever!" Bolt said.

"Thank you Hoka..dad." Hinata said with a blush across her face.

Minato looked at Naruto and Kushina who were still not making eye contact. To ease things out Minato began again, "I think she can give you a run for your money Kushina."

Minato knew far too well how competitive Kushina is, and to be challenged on her cooking skills which she prides on is like a death threat. But much to Minato's surprise Kushina didn't respond, so he continued.

"Kushina is an exceptional cook as well. Maybe she could cook lunch for us?" Minato said and looked over at Kushina who just smiled in agreement.

After which breakfast was uncomfortably quite, until…

"So are ojii-san and obaa-san zombies?" Bolt asked.

Naruto spat out his food and started coughing uncontrollably. Hinata patted his back to help him calm down. Suddenly they could hear Himawari giving out a loud cry. Hinata was about to get up when Kushina stopped her, "Can I?"

Hinata nodded and Kushina stood up and walked over to the room. Hinata looked over at Bolt, "Bolt-kun, help me clear the table."

Bolt nodded and started picking one plate and a time and placing them in the sink. Meanwhile Minato took a seat next to Naruto.

"Naruto, I know this is alarming to you since you are considering Bolt's feelings, which I am very happy about. But your mother took such a rash decision of coming here in reality because…" Naruto looked at Minato.

"Naruto, your mother has only ever spent time with you when she met you at the time when you were learning to control the Kyuubi. That was for maybe for half an hour and that too a subconscious meeting. She wanted to meet you for real, hold you for real, be with you for real. I at least was able to see you in person during the war, though it was edo-tensei I still got an opportunity to spend it in person. She though never had the chance." Minato said.

Naruto looked at Minato and then turned his eyes to Kushina who was inside the room pacifying his daughter, her grand-daughter, kissing her head repeatedly. Naruto smiled.

"Dad, I would do anything to have you guys spend time with all of us. I have wanted this for so long but I don't know how Bolt will cope with this. He thinks you are a zombie!" Naruto said.

Minato laughed. "So let him think that, let's keep it at that."

"What are you saying?" Naruto asked.

"The Sage didn't ask Itachi to caste Sasuke and his family in a genjustsu. Itachi did that on his own to avoid confusing Sarada. The Sage didn't ask him to. He didn't ask us to either. There is no problem in coming back here as we are. Yes definitely it is unnatural but seriously, everything considered, is this the most unnatural thing in the Ninja world?" Minato asked.

Naruto couldn't answer that. It is true. A lot of unnatural shit happens down here.

"If it was absolutely necessary to do the genjutsu, we would, but it isn't. The Sage doesn't think it is. Because he knows it is manageable. The only problem is to not give other families false hope that maybe their loved ones might visit too. So we are asked to not venture out in public. We ideally wanted to visit when you would be named the Hokage like Kushina mentioned, but the chances of us being spotted would be much easier then. This just seemed a right time. That's all." Minato said. "I mean when Kushina and I both visited you years ago for hardly a few hours did you feel grateful or regretful? Don't you think maybe Bolt will just be happy to be able to be able to spend just sometime with us as well like you did?"

"But what if he wants you to visit again?" Naruto asked.

"I'll talk to him. He is a big boy. And if he is anything like you, he will understand." Minato smiled.

Naruto smiled back and nodded his head in agreement.

"MOM!" Naruto called out. "Get her here." Naruto said with a smile.

"And then he peed all over the wall and called it the Yellow Flash!" Naruto narrated the story of Bolt pulling off his pranks.

"You little devil!" Kushina said to Bolt who she had held inbetween her hands. She hugged him tighter and kissed his cheek, to which Bolt blushed.

"Keeping the legacy alive I see." Minato said sarcastically. He looked over at Himawari who he was holding and whispered to her, "But you follow my legacy the right way okay Wari-chan?"

Himawari just tugged on Minato's bangs in response.

"You know I was quite the prankster myself when I was your age Bolt." Kushina said.

"Really? What did you do?" Bolt asked, turning his head around to face her.

"Mom please don't give him ideas." Naruto requested.

"Oh shuu." Kushina tried to shut him up. "I used to beat up all the guys in class." Kushina said proudly as she flexed her muscles.

Bolt scoffed and looked away, "Hah! As if! Girls can't hit guys."

If anything was worse than challenging her cooking, it was display of male chauvinism. Every other adult in the room could suddenly feel the tension in the air. Bolt turned his head around to see his grandmom with an evil grin, veins popping out on her forehead and her red hair flaring in the air.

"You want to bet on that?" Kushina asked slowly gritted her teeth.

Bolt took a step back his hands up in defense, "No..no not at all."

Kushina gave a sarcastic smile and pulled Bolt close to her again. "That's what I thought." She said and kissed his head. Bolt was speechless in fear, sweat drops all across his forehead.

Others in the room just looked on wide eyed. Naruto gulped, he could finally understand why they called her the Red Hot Habanero. Minato sighed while Kushina gave out a loud laugh making Bolt flinch.

"Girls can do anything a guy can do Bolt, even send them flying across the room by hitting them." Kushina said.

"This is not the kind of pep talk a grandmom usually gives their grandchildren." Minato said.

"Well he needs to know that!" Kushina said and looked at Bolt. "Do you understand now Bolt?"

"I know girls can. Sakura oba-chan sends dad flying across the room all the time!" Bolt stated.

"Sakura?" Kushina asked.

"Sasuke's wife." Hinata informed. "They were part of the same team."

"HOW DARE SHE HURT MY BABY!" Kushina asked angrily.

"Oh isn't she that pink haired medic I met during the war?" Minato asked. "The one you mentioned was your girlfriend?"

Naruto could sense Hinata's face drop. He gave an awkward laugh, "She wasn't my girlfriend." He said scratching the back of his head continued to laugh looking at Hinata from the corner of his eyes.

Minato gave a confused look, "I could have sworn you said she was." Minato said not able to sense the atmosphere.

"No." Naruto continued laughing sheepishly. "Don't remember EVER saying that!"

"Oh. Too bad. She reminded me awfully lot of Kushina." Minato said resting his back on the sofa carrying Himawari over his shoulder. He looked at Kushina. "If he were to marry her, he would have fulfilled your wish." Minato said laughing at the situation.

Naruto tried looking at Hinata from the nook of his eye, she was hugging her legs and burrowed her head inbetween her clenched legs rocking herself back and forth dramatically.

Minato flinched , 'Did I touch a sensitive topic?' he thought to himself.

Kushina leaned towards Minato and whispered, "So much for your pep talk." Kushina taunted.

"Sakura-chan is great but Hinata is well suited for me." Naruto said holding Hinata by the shoulder. , "She keeps me balanced. She is my soul mate." Hinata looked at Naruto wide eyed, a blush across her face. She looked down and whispered a "Thank you" under her breath. Naruto smiled and continued. "And if I were to marry someone like Mom we would.."

"Burn down the house." Minato and Naruto said together. Minato laughed at the coincidence and nudged Kushina teasingly.

"Oh shut up!" Kushina pouted.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Hinata and Naruto looked at each other wondering who it could be.

"Should I answer it?" Hinata asked Kushina and Minato.

"You should. No one should suspect anything suspicious. We will just wait back here." Minato said. Kushina and Minato hid behind a wall. They both popped her head out just enough to see who the visitor could be.

Hinata, Naruto and Bolt all answered the door. On opening the door Naruto asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I told you we would come by today to give you the album. We left Sarada with my parents and came over. " The voice said.

"Who is that?" Kushina asked squinting her eyes in an attempt to see better.

"That..that is Sakura!" Minato said. "The ex-girlfriend."

"The one who hurts my baby! I will punch her face!" Kushina said and was about to march ahead but Minato stopped her.

They both held back while Naruto kept talking.

"Why are all three of you answering the door?" The other voice asked skeptically.

"Oh my my who is that handsome guy." Kushina said gleaming.

"That must be Sasuke. He noticed right away something was wrong. He is sharp as always." Minato said.

"Beauty and brains! The irresistible combination." Kushina said.

Minato sensed his wife fan girling like never before. "He is your son's age, not to mention your best friend's son." Minato said matter of factly.

"Oh please I look as young as his wife." Kushina argued.

"That is because we are dead!" Minato countered.

"Always the cynic." Kushina said brushing off the topic.

Naruto was still trying to hold his team mates from entering, "We are..just trying to spend more time together." Naruto said trying to cover up.

Sasuke squinted his eyes in suspicion.

"Won't you let us in!" Sakura asked.

"Hmm well…actually…" Naruto began.

"It's okay." Minato said revealing himself and Kushina. "Let them in."

Sakura and Sasuke stood there in shock.

"Hokage-same." Sakura whispered under her breath.

"Are you sure?" Naruto asked looking around at his parents.

"Their daughter isn't with them. They already know the drill. Should be fine." Minato assured.

"So it finally happened hah?" Sasuke asked with a smirk.

Naruto's face lit up. "Yeah!" Naruto directed them towards his parents, "Sasuke, Sakura meet my Dad and my Mom." Naruto said enthusiastically.

Sakura and Sasuke both bowed down to greet them.

"Mikoto's son has grown up to be a quite a handsome man." Kushina said in a motherly tone.

Sasuke was taken aback on hearing his mother's name. He didn't respond.

"She is always talking about you." Kushina continued smiling.

Sakura looked at Sasuke. His lips slowly formed a smile.

"I hope you are joining us for lunch." Minato asked.

Sakura and Sasuke smiled in confirmation.

"This is amazing! All my favorite people under one roof!" Naruto said holding Hinata by her shoulder. His smile almost reached his eyes.

"Let's go eat then. Come on buddy!" Minato said calling Bolt over. He lifted the kid over his head and placed his legs on either shoulder.

"SUPERBOOOLT!" Bolt said raising his hand like a superhero.

Other's laughed as they walked over to the hall. Kushina quietly sneaked behind Sakura and whispered in her ear, "I got to hear you send my son flying across the room with your loving punches." Kushina said with a twisted grin and evil spark in her eyes.

A chill run down Sakura's spine, she held her hand out defensively. "It is all in good fun." Sakura said laughing awkwardly.

Kushina joined Sakura and laughed sarcastically before she suddenly stopped with a straight face. She placed her hand on Sakura's shoulder and said with a fake smile, "Let's take a walk shall we?"

Sakura gulped.

To be continued...

A.N : Hello you lovely people! Yes you! You look exceptionally lovely today :P

Anywho! I finished writing as much as I uploaded today quite some days back, and then I got busy with college work. And today I was meaning to finish it only to realize it will take quite longer than I expected since there is a lot more I want to add, meaning many more days till I upload. I very strongly wanted to finish this in this chapter itself because I didn't think you'll would want me to split the chapter into two parts, buuuut then I realized you'll wouldn't want me to take forever to upload even more. Plus this was already like 16 pages so splitting it into two parts only made sense. So,yeah, that was a rather uninteresting thought process over the uploading. Sorry about that :/

But that means more of Kushina and Minato! That should be good right? Oh yeah!

As always let me know what you thought, I bet your thought is not even close to the uninteresting thoughts I share. So bring it on! I was so happy to know most of you'll were happy to see Kushina and Minato visit. So please share your views, thoughts, opinions. Even if you hated it, you can ask me to shut up :D But i won't shut up B|

Also to the new readers just reminding this is an ongoing one shot series because I have noticed quite a few of you guys add the story to your favorites list but don't follow it? If you'll love it why not follow it too? Of course its your choice but thought I'll just remind its an ongoing story :)

There is yet another chapter on this topic so stay tuned! I will try to upload as soon as I can! Please be patient like you have been. You'll are the best! Thank you! :*

Untill next time, Ja ne!

REVIEW PLEASE!
