A/N: If you haven't figured out, Minato and Kushina are older in this story. Originally he was only nine years older than Kakashi, making him way too young to be a father.

It had been a year since Sora and Fumiko had met each other the day Sora was heading to the park to play. The two have begun great friends with each other. Sora and Fumiko we're currently walking through the village.

Fumiko was starting to get annoyed with Sora. Sora promised to train with her today, yet they have walked through the village for almost two hours. Both of the four-year-olds were preparing to enter the Ninja Academy next year.

They both were except for high expectations. Sora being the son of the yellow flash, people expect him to be a prodigy. While Fumiko's father still was unknown to Sora, with him being away a lot on missions. He knew that her father was quite known for his skills as a shinobi taking S-rank missions and ANBU missions.

"Sora, come on, you promised to train with me today!" Fumiko said, annoyed.

"Relax, I haven't forgotten," Sora replied, chuckling at Fumiko's behavior. "So calm down were almost there."

"Ugh, you said that almost two hours ago," Fumiko groaned. "Where exactly are we going?" She asked, getting even more annoyed.

"You see," Sora said, grabbing Fumiko, hand as he led her towards a large forest of trees and leading up towards a large field of trees and wooden polls with targets on them. "Here we are, Fumiko."

"Wow, this place is amazing!" She said, surprised."How did you find such a fantastic training area?" She asked.

"Well, I didn't find it by myself," He said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.

"That's right," A voice said out of nowhere.

Sora and Fumiko both looked up to see none other than Sora's father, Minato walking towards them.

"Mr. Namikaze!" Sora said, excited to see the Yellow Flash, her second idol, right after her father, which was still a complete mystery.

"What are you doing here, dad?" Sora asked, confused. "I thought you were out on a mission still."

"I just got back an hour ago," Minato replied."Your mother said you headed to do some training with Fumiko. I decided to come and help you train."

"Cool, I wish father could help me train," Fumiko stated. "Not that training with mom isn't excellent, but I want to learn some of my father's justu."

"Don't worry; I'm sure your father will be happy to teach you his justu one day," Sora said, putting a hand on Fumiko's shoulder, comforting her.

"Sora is right. I'm sure your father will find time to teach his justu in the future," Minato said.

"Yeah, you're right. Maybe he will train with me today when he returns from his mission," Fumiko said, cheering up.

"I'm sure he will if you ask him if he not too tired," Sora commented. "So, dad, what do you have in mind for training. Since I didn't have much in mind, maybe some more chakra control."

"I think we should work on shuriken throwing today," Minato said, heading six shurikens to Fumiko and six to Sora.

"Sounds good," Sora and Fumiko both said.

"Alright, Fumiko, how about you go first. Try and hit the center of the targets on the post."

"Alright, I can do this," Fumiko said, getting into a throwing stance with three shurikens in both hands."I will become a shinobi worthy of being the daughter of a legendary shinobi and heir of the Neko clan, even if it's not as big as it used to be!" She said, full of determination.

"Yeah, you can do it, Fumi-chan," Sora said, giving her a thumbs up.

"Ah thanks, Sora-kun," Fumiko said with a blush.

'Sora only four, and he already got away with the ladies. Oh Sora, your mother will start freak out about the fangirls when you enter the Ninja academy.' Minato thought, smiling at the blush on Fumiko's face as Sora cheered her on. He personally felt Fumiko would make a lovely girlfriend in the future but was going to let Sora decide on who he was going to date when he got older.

Fumiko took a deep breath as she threw her hand forward. Sora watched as the shuriken threw two, almost hitting the center of the target. While other shurikens only landed on a corner nowhere close to the target.

"Man, that was terrible. I didn't even hit the target," Fumiko said, disappointed that she messed up her shuriken throwing.

"Hey, don't feel bad, Fumi-chan," Sora said. "You did your best and almost got two of the shuriken to hit the center of the target."

"Sora, right, you did your best that all that matters," Minato said, agreeing with his son." plus, you're still learning. With proper training, you get the hang of it eventually."

"Yeah, you're right. With enough training, I will become a fantastic shinboi like my family!" Fumiko stated once again, her face full of determination.

"That's more like it, Fumiko. Now, why don't you give it a try, Sora, my son."

Sora nodded and put three shurikens in each of his hands, just like Fumiko and getting into a stance, ready to throw his shuriken.

"Alright, let's do this," Sora said, throwing both hands forward as the shurikens whizzed towards the wooden post.

Minato and Fumiko eyes widened as four of the shurikens hit the center of the targets while the last
two, we're an inch off away from the center.

"Well done, you almost hit the center with all three targets," Minato said, giving him a nod of approval at his results.

"Impressive Sora-kun!" Fumiko said, smiling.

"I agree that was impressive," A silky smooth voice said. "You have the potential to become an exceptional shinboi."

'That voice.' Fumiko thought, recognizing that voice.

Everyone turned around to see a figure jump down from a tall tree. The figure landed on the ground to reveal tall, pale skin. He had long, smooth flowing raven hair down his back. He was wearing a pink kimono with blue pants. The most notable trait was the piercing golden eyes that remind you of a snake ready to strike.

'Wow, those are some piercing eyes. More importantly, I can't believe one of the legendary sannin I hear about is impressed with my skills.' Sora thought, staring at the tall, pale man who made his presence known from the tree he had been in.

"Oh Lord Orochimaru, what brings you here?" Minato asked, surprised to see his sensei old teammate.

"Oh, I just cam-" Orochimaru started until he was tackled in a hug by Fumiko.

"It really is you, father!" Fumiko shouted yelled, hugging Orochimaru. "You finally back home from another mission!"

Orochimaru chuckled slightly. "Yeah, I'm home. My kitten," He said, hugging her back.

"So Fumiko is your kid," Minato said, watching Fumiko hug Orochimaru."I had a feeling her pale skin seemed familiar."

"Yes, this kitten belongs to me," Orochimaru said."I'm surprised that fool didn't go after telling his student. More surprise with your wife she was one of my students and knew I was married even if we had a private ceremony only my friends were allowed to know."

"Mom did mention that she had a feeling who Fumi-chan's father was," Sora said, looking at his father then back at Fumiko, who finally stopped hugging her father.

"Right, don't know how I overlooked the resembles not too many pale skin people in the village," Minato said, feeling foolish.

"Well, not like I'm already off to be with her," Orochimaru said."Until today not too tired after my mission to when my wife said she was out training. I located her charka and came to get her to grab something to eat and then do some of our training together."

"Yay, let's go! See you later, Sora-kun and Mr. Namikaze!" Fumiko yelled, waving bye as she dragged her father away, excited to train with him.

"Well, she sure is excited. Though I guess it's no wonder why she works so hard," Sora stated as he watched Fumiko run off in the distance.

"Agree, ramen?" Minato asked.

Sora nodded and headed off to get some ramen with his father for lunch today.
