The Yondaime sighed at the blonde boy that was staring up at him cutely with crocodile tears in his bright blue eyes and his bottom lip jutted out ever-so-slightly as Fugaku glared openly. "I'm sorry,Tousan!" he exclaimed sadly, his hands reaching out to clutch at the man's jounin pants. The older blonde sighed again. "I wont do it again," he mumbled into his father's cotton-clad leg.

Minato looked up at the father of Naruto's victim. "See? He won't do it again." He knew this was probably a lie.

"It was an accident!" Naruto added helpfully.

Fugaku's face turned a bright red. "You can't possibly be that naive!" Umino Iruka stood about five feet away from the squabble, looking quite uncomfortable. "Of course he's going to do it again! He's just a troublemaker!"

A dangerous aura wrapped itself around the young Hokange's body and the tension in the room became almost visible as Minato placed a hand on his son's head. "I believe him when he says it was an accident. He's never lied to me before so I doubt he would start now. Besides," he added, " I like Sasuke's hair like this." He gestured toward the boy who had his head - now streaked with blue - down and his face was burning red. "It gives him a personality, since you won't allow him to have one."

Fugaku's jaw dropped. "And I suggest, Uchiha, that you never insult my son again because the consequences will be great." Blue eyes were narrowed dangerously at the other father.

The Uchiha bowed angrily, humiliated. "Hai, Hokage-sama." He turned to Sasuke who was now looking about as uncomfortable as Iruka. The sensei started to shift his weight uncomfortably, praying to the gods that a fight wouldn't break out in his classroom while the children were outside. "Come home immediately after your classes." Sasuke nodded and Fugaku walked out of the building.

Minato turned and pushed Naruto gently away from his leg so he could speak with both boys. He crouched to their eye level and winked, placing one finger over grinning lips. "Who wants to get ramen?" Both faces lit up. "If it's okay with your sensei." Both boys turned to face the scarred teacher.

"Pleeeeeease, sensei?" Naruto begged, folding his hands and staring up at the tan man.

Iruka chuckled and nodded. "Be back in forty-five minutes; that's when study hall ends."

Minato smiled as Sasuke smirked and Naruto cheered and they set off, laughing and joking.

The first of (what I hope to be) many MinaNaru drabbles. And they'll all be in one convenient place – here! So stay tuned and leave a review for this lovely authoress (I don't bite!)
