The different path we'll take

Authors note; okay people, I re-write this chapter so,I changed some things, like Naruto are the host of the kyuubi. After many complain about a friend to me who read my story and chapter before I put them up here, I gave in and change it. ^_^ I don't know if I have to do it for all chapter, but just letting you know that :D

Disclaimer; I do not own Naruto

Chapter 1: the family

The sun was rising and the birds were singing, the people were walking around the street, there was peace…

"NAMIKAZE NARUTO GET BACK HERE NOW!"

Or not

12 years old Namikaze Naruto laughed like crazy but ran from the chuin and jouin shinobi. How an academy student could do that was still a mystery for all shinobi in Konoha. Suddenly Naruto decided it was enough and hide with the normal trick; hiding behind a cloak.

And true, all the shinobi ran past him not noticing him, Naruto toke down the cloak when a voice spoke up

"Finally found you" Naruto tensed and looked up and saw an angry Iruka

"Hehehehe Iruka-sensei what are you doing here?" Naruto asked nervously. Iruka sighed.

"Naruto why do you always do prank? You should put your attention to the lessons at the academy where you SHOULD be but no, I have to go and find you every single day, care to explain that?"

Naruto looked around and decided to make a run for it. If he could run from Jouin shinobi he would easy get away from Iruka-sensei.

If that was so easy.

Naruto ran but only to ran into Kakashi nii-san

"Out and doing pranks again Naruto?" Kakashi said eye smiling. Naruto nodded. Then Iruka catch him.

"That's it. Time to go back to the academy Naruto"
"No, let me go! Kakashi-nii-san please help me" Naruto said but Kakashi just shake his head

"And get your mother after me? Sorry Naruto, I want to live a bit longer than feel your mothers wrap if she knew I helped you to not go to the academy and sensei wouldn't be happy either"

Feeling betrayed by Kakashi Naruto let Iruka drag Naruto back to the academy.

When the academy was over

Naruto stood and waited for his mother. Even if he had played prank he had listen on the lesson Iruka had with him, it wasn't like Naruto didn't respect his teacher but the lesson was so boring and long, he had rather be outside training throwing kunai or something else.

"Naruto why are you waiting?" Uchiha Sasuke said looking at his best friend.

"Because Kaa-Chan will come and get me, we will go and eat some ramen with dad after she picked me up here. Is your brother going to get you?"

Sasuke nodded "yeah. He is:"

"Naruto" a female voice said, gaining their attention. Naruto looked up and saw his mother, Namikaze Sakura coming

"Kaa-Chan" he said and run to his mother and hugged her. Sakura smiled. He was so cute. Then she saw Sasuke.

"Hello Sasuke-kun" she said and Sasuke greeted back

"Good day, Sakura-san."
"Are you waiting for your brother to pick up you?" she asked watching the younger Uchiha. Sasuke nodded "yeah he promised he would come and get me."

"That's good to hear, now then Naruto, shall we go?"

"Yeah, I want ramen!" Naruto said and let go of his mother and ran towards the ramen stand. Sakura chuckled.

You never change huh? Naruto…

Saying goodbye to the Uchiha Sakura went after her son, who probably were at the ramen and hopefully Minato were already there.

Sakura looked at the Hokage Mountain. It had been 15 years since she arrived in the past and met Minato. She remembers the days so clearly. And how her Old team came to get her back only to let her stay with Minato.

With Sakura's knowledge of what would happen, Minato was able to make sure the Uchiha clan didn't try to plan to overthrow the Hokage BUT the kyuubi attack had still happen, Kushina who were host of the demon who had now a own family, husband and soon a daughter. Somehow had Madara Uchiha find a way to rip away the kyuubi from Kushina and make the fox attack Konoha. Lucky for Kushina, both Sakura and Tsunade were close by and could save her life. Minato was about to go and seal the kyuubi in Naruto when both Jiraiya and sandaime stopped him, knocked him unconscious and sandaime sealed the demon in Naruto.

Sakura was sad and bit glad, hearing what the sandaime had told Jiraiya who told them last words of the sandaime hokage.

"Minato are too young to die and the village need him and so do his family, this is the best way, I take his place so Minato can live and be there for his son"

Unfortunate, Minato was forced to let whole village know that Naruto was the new host, directly there was people who wanted the poor baby dead, but soon they regretted that, seeing two of the sanin, the hokage himself, his wife and Kushina, ready to kill those who even dared to try harm Naruto.

Sakura had never been so happy when Naruto had been born, even if he becomes host of the fox demon.

Their friends were also born; the only different were the girl who was supposed to be Sakura were now Saki Haruno who was best friend with Ino. Sakura sighed and continue to the Ichiraku, Naruto and Minato were probably waiting on her, and Naruto hated waiting.

Coming where her family was Sakura walked in and sat down beside Naruto.

"Why did you take so much time to get here?" Naruto asked Sakura rolled her eyes. "Maybe it was you who rushed to get here" she joked and Naruto grinned. Sakura felt an arm wrapped around her waist. Looked at her right were Minato smiling and kissed her on the cheek.

"Good afternoon my beautiful wife" then he went to Naruto and ruffled his hair.

"No dad, not my hair." Naruto complained but Minato just laughed. Sakura couldn't get enough of hearing Minato laughing; it was like music in her ear.

"So how was your day Naruto?" Minato asked his son. Naruto grinned and started to talk about what happen at the academy. Sakura fall in deep thoughts.

Hm… wonder how much will change? Will the invasion of sound and sand be? I feel lucky we don't need look after Lady Tsunade. Will Sasuke get the curse mark? Why can't I just let it be for now? Argh…

Sakura snapped out from her thoughts, seeing ramen standing in front of her. Blinking she looked at her husband and son with raised eyebrow.

Minato seeing her confusing answered her question "we ordered to you, you didn't hear when we asked you what you wanted."

"Thanks"

Suddenly two arms wrapped around Sakura who tensed but relaxed hearing the voice behind.

"I thought you would be here" Kushina Uzumaki said grinning and sat down beside Sakura.

"Kushina, how have you been?" Sakura asked her friend.

"Well expect that I'm not allowed to go on any mission anymore, I'm fine but I am bored to death.

Sakura laughed, I'm glad to hear that, do tell how are your husband doing?" Kushina eyes shining up like stars.

"Oh you mean Ken? Well he is just fine. He is on a mission but coming back hopefully today if nothing had gone wrong."

"Don't worry Kushina, I was in contact with his team earlier today, they are on their way back"

Minato said, still listen to Naruto who just saw Kushina.

"Auntie Kushina!"

Kushina grinned "hello prankster, I heard you played a prank on your teacher today. I'm so proud over you for doing that"

"Kushina, don't encourage him" Sakura said "who knows what will happen if he got someone who encourage him to do pranks."

Kushina looked amused "so you didn't hear what he did today at the academy?"

Sakura frowned and looked at Naruto laughed nervously. "What? I do actually listen to lesson, I just do them a bit funny, and it's not funny to listen to Iruka about boring things."

Sakura sighed. Naruto would always be the Naruto she knew. She decided to let it go, she didn't want to know exactly what sort of prank he did, she could guess.

"Are you going eat that?" Kushina poked at her cup of ramen, Sakura sighed and smiled and pushed the cup to Kushina.

"Eat, I know I wouldn't have it for myself too long" she said and Kushina happily toke her 'gift' and started to eat. But soon Sakura had another cup of ramen In front of her; looking up she saw it was Teuchi who put it.

"You should eat too Sakura-san, it's not healthy to not eat."

Then Minato decided to speak "yes and you are supposed to be a medic ninja, you should know better" he said looking at his wife who rolled her eyes.

"Very funny Minato, I'm aware of it, I do eat, if you haven't notice it." Sakura started to eat and soon everyone was doing the same thing, just enjoying their time together.
