Hi to all readers! This is my first fanfic. I've been itching to write my own fanfiction for a really long time, I hope you enjoy this chap!

Minato Namikaze was never one for paperwork. Not that he disliked being hokage- hours and hours of stamping papers just wasn't his hobby.
So when his secretary entered his office hidden under an armload of paperwork, Minato couldn't help but glance at the time, yearning for lunchtime to come. Hmm… ramen today? Then I can visit Kushina at the hospital… Minato smiled at the thought of his pregnant wife. Kushina was carrying his son for almost nine months; Naruto would be born any day now.
Really, he shouldn't have anything to complain about. He had finally fulfilled his life-long dream of becoming hokage, Konoha was finally at peace, and he would soon have a son. Minato attacked the paperwork with new energy.
Just then, Minato detected a strong spike of chakra in his office. The chakra was so thick that it made the air heavy. Minato's mouth set into a grim line. The sheer amount of chakra was overwhelming, almost impossible! Someone insanely powerful was approaching; was it friend or foe? He instinctively drew a kunai from his weapons pouch and slowly stood, taking up a defensive stance.
As suddenly as the chakra had come, a blond man appeared in his office. The Yondaime narrowed his eyes and got ready to defend if necessary.
Then, Minato realized that the man was in no condition to fight. He was pale and gasping for breath, body trembling as he tried to collect his bearings. Minato frowned when he spotted a konoha headband tied onto the man's forehead. He had never seen this ninja before- and as hokage, he would know every ninja in Konoha.
The stranger recollected himself and met Minato's gaze. Blue clashed with blue. Minato reeled back in surprise. The resemblance between him and the man was uncanny. Blonde spiky hair, the same glowing blue eyes, the same intense gaze- it was like looking through a mirror. Even their attire was similar, the only difference was that the man was wearing an orange cloak with black flames rimming the bottom.
The stranger spoke.
"I apologize for my abrupt arrival, hokage-sama," Seeing Minato's wary stare and the kunai, the man held up his hands and said, "I am a loyal ninja of Konoha and mean the village no harm."
Minato nodded in acceptance and relaxed slightly, but didn't let his guard down- words were easy to say. "Who are you?" Minato demanded, eyes focused on the stranger.
The blond man signed and ran through his spiky hair with one hand. "My name is Namikaze Naruto…"
"Naruto" turned slightly, looking out the window.
A gust of wind blew.
The blonde's cloak flapped, exposing the words written at the back.
"6th Hokage of Konoha"
Minato's eyes widened.
"…also known as the Rokudaime of Konoha."

Yeah, I know this chapter is painfully short, but this is the best I can do for the time being. The future chapters will be better- this is only the introduction chapter. I'm afraid I will not be updating very consistently. There are important examinations this year, and homework is being a drag.
Please Review? Come on, just click the green button below, it'll only take you a sec. Constructive criticism is very welcome!
