A/N - Well this is a rewrite... and a completely new plot. With the old plot I was really considering forgetting about this. I didn’t feel my OC’s... hell I really hate OC’s... So I decided to trash what I had planned and go with the first idea I had with this... which in the end I am happy with where this is going again. Plus I have everything planned out.
So updates will hopefully be faster since I will be focusing on this now, with my other fic finished.
Hope you enjoy the rewrite, and where this fic is now going.
Disclaimer – Naruto does not belong to me… although that might change if me and Disgruntled Minion have our way. Lol.
Beta’ed by Disgruntled Minion, cause she’s great and makes my work look better than it actually is… not matter what she says. Give her love and cookies.

Chapter One: As Time Passes

Glistening flakes fell from the dull grey sky coating the dead earth in a layer of icy white. The virgin slopes shown pale blue in the early morning light; untouched by nature and as pure as a nightingale’s song. The world was a serene picture, a deception that only winter could paint.
A calmness drifted over the white mounds, a feeling that only came during the silent of night and during the bright winter mornings. It was a time when one could venture out and feel alive.
This was how Naruto felt as he looked out over the landscape, through the little window in the shrine. He felt oddly one with the world, like he had opened his eyes for the first time. Everything seemed so much brighter, warmer.
Or maybe this was what a mother felt after giving life to her child, a heavenly afterglow. Yes, this was a feeling of deep love, joy, and wonder.
Naruto turned from the window, his eyes going straight to the small bundle in his arms. A cherubs face, fast asleep, looked back at him. It was the life he had cherished; his child, his son.
Hesitant fingers brushed the soft tuft of black hair that peeked from under the blanket. The baby cooed in his sleep, instinctively leaning into his mother’s touch.
A smiled bloomed on Naruto’s face from the small show of affection. The child had his father’s hair, but he had Naruto’s nose and tanned complexion. It warmed him to know that this was the solid proof of love he felt for the Uchiha. This was proof of that night they had spent together.
In the beginning he had been frightened, what reason would a thirteen year old have to subject themselves to what he had. Now though, looking at his son, he knew all the pain he had gone through was worth it. A hell given curse turned heavenly miracle.
He had to laugh; fate might have known what she was doing after all. He could now have his happy little family.
A harsh laugh filled the room. Yes, fate knew what she was doing. Never could she let Naruto have his happily ever after. Give him a small taste of it and then rip it painfully away. The delusion he had of his happy little family was just that, a delusion. A sick joke of a life that he lived.
Fate was still cruel, she would always be sure that he was alone. He would never know true love or happiness.
Smiling sadly, Naruto turned to look out the window once again. It had started to snow, the quiet flakes falling together. For a moment, Naruto wished that he could be a snowflake. Bond together on a rolling hill; never alone, always together. Even when the snow melted, the flakes merging to become water. Together until the earth took them for food, never alone.
The quiet snow, he wished that his son could be the quiet snow. Never alone, even when the earth claimed him as her own. Naruto wished that he would always have people who cared for him.
“Grow up happy, my little Setsuna.” It was the only blessing Naruto could give. It was all too soon after that Tsunade came. Her presences was like death himself. She took with her, Naruto’s happiness and with it; Naruto broke, unsure if he could even pick up the pieces this time.

Thirteen years, it had been thirteen years since then and Naruto had to say he was feeling old. Maybe it was his twenty seventh birthday looming around the corner, or it could be the massive stack of paperwork in front of him that made him feel drained.
Why in the hell did he even want to become Hokage in the first place. Hadn’t his younger self known the headaches that would come with it? At least he knew now why Tsunade had always gotten herself drunk on the job, made things a little more interesting. Now if only he could convince Sakura into letting him break into the sake.
He wouldn’t get his hopes up though. That woman was the devil, he was sure of it. It was her plot in life to make him miserable. She actual made him do his work. Couldn’t she see what she was doing?
Why had he even taken her up on her offer to be his advisor? Shouldn’t she be working in the hospital, on a mission, or fondling that boyfriend of hers. The thought made him shudder. He couldn’t get over the fact that Sakura was dating Neji. To Naruto the guy was too quiet and too serious, not the kind of guy he thought Sakura would go for. Then again Sasuke was her first crush. Maybe she just had a thing for boring guys.
As if on cue, Sakura walked into the spacious office, a broad smile on her face. This would not be good, Naruto told himself.
“Naruto-sama!” The tone was sickeningly sweet, a tell tale sign that she was pissed.
“Yes... Sakura-chan?” Should he run? No, she would suspect that. Damn.
“It’s four in the afternoon and those papers I needed to send back to the Raikage are not on my desk. Why is that Naruto? Oh and... is what I heard from Mitsu true? Did you actual send her to get you ramen and call it an ANBU assignment?” Shit, he had forgotten about that.
“Umm... well you see. I was hungry and you know how that goes. Can’t think about anything but eating. So naturally I had Mitsu grab me some Ichiraku’s so I could... ummm...” Sakura was advancing on him with a very dangerous glint in her eye. This was never good; he really didn’t need another lump on his head. Plus, did it really look good for the Hokage to get beat up by his assistant? He didn’t think so.
“Come on Sa–Sakura...” He pleaded.
She wouldn’t have any of it though. “Naruto!” Sakura leapt, fist at the ready.
“Hokage-sama.” She stopped half way to making her blow.
Naruto felt like jumping up and kissing Shikamaru at this point. The man had literally just saved him life.
“Shikamaru! Welcome, come in.” He was more than happy to focus all attention on the lazy man who had just entered the room. “Back from your mission already?”
Sakura sighed, it looked like those papers would have to wait even longer. Just what she needed.
“Naruto!” The blond man jumped. “I will be back for those papers later.”
Naruto gulped and nodded. He probably should get those looked over and signed then. It wasn’t wise to test Sakura’s patients. He had once seen her hurl Kiba at least a hundred feet before.
She gave Shikamaru a nod and smiled at the group on genin that where huddled behind their sensei, before leaving the room. There was business else where that needed to be taken care of.
With Sakura gone, Naruto could breath easier now. Although he was sure that, this little meeting was going to be something close to torture.
“Well Shika... How did the brats do?” Said brats filed further into the room frowning. Oh did Naruto like pushing their buttons.
“Hokage-sama, we aren’t brats. We are Konoha shinobi.” Aika, a small girl with flowing blond locks and piercing emerald eyes, pipped in. Naruto had long ago learned that she was the loud mouth of the group.
“Is that so Aika?” She beamed a smile his way. It wasn’t a secret that she fancied the Hokage.
“Yes sir. It is our duty to protect you and our village.” Her two male teammates shook their heads at her declaration.
“Shut it Ai, the Hokage doesn’t need us protecting him. Why would he need genins when he has ANBU.” Naruto couldn’t help but smirk when a boy with pitch black hair and sky blue eyes so similar to his own, snapped at the young girl. He couldn’t be more of a perfect mix between his sires. Although Naruto had yet to decided if that was a good or bad.
One thing was for sure, he was a born troublemaker. Which made Naruto proud; his son had not been born with a stick up his ass like most Uchihas’. Although he did inherit the Uchiha’s cunningness which helped him to not be caught.
Aika flashed the boy a displeasing look. “Oh can it Suzume-chan.” She knew she was egging him on by using that name, but sometimes Aika couldn’t stand his foul attitude.
Just like she expected, her teammate turned on her, flames in his eyes. “It’s Setsuna! Not that damn nickname.”
Aika rolled her eyes, she couldn’t understand what Setsuna had against nicknames. Granted it wasn’t the most flattering of names, but still. Couldn’t he just take it as a joke?
Naruto sighed from behind his desk. He was unaccustomed to the scene that played out before him. The boy clung to his name, like Naruto had clung to his dreams. To Setsuna his name was all he had, the only thing left of the parents he never knew. It broke Naruto’s heart to know what he had taken form his son. How much he wished he could embrace the boy and tell him that he had a family, and a father who loved him so much.
“You two stop it.” Their other teammate, a boy with chocolate brown hair and equally brown eyes, stepped forward to stop the fight before it turned into something less than appealing.
“Are they always like this Masaki?” Naruto knew the answer but couldn’t help but ask.
“Seven days a week Hokage-sama.” Masaki smirked.
Both Aika and Setsuna huffed, not pleased at being made fun off.
Shikamaru seeing that things weren’t going to settled down anytime soon, decided to get down to business.
“Naruto, could we please get this done. I do have a wife to get home to.” Naruto smiled as hearing Shikamaru address him with such familiarity. He had come to find it increasingly annoying for his friends to refer to him as Hokage-sama. He had grown up with them, they had no reason to be so formal with him when they were interacting one on one, or in laid back situations. He had to correct them daily; then again, he was beginning to suspect that they were doing it on purpose now.
“Forgive me Shikamaru, wouldn’t want Ino coming after my skin for having her hubby home late.” The genins chuckled finding the idea humorous. “So I suppose you have the mission report?”
Shikamaru nodded, handing over a small scroll.
“Well then, that’s it. You are free to go. Shoo off with ya!” Naruto joked, his eyes shining in humor.
The genins took no time to file out, whispering something about going to go get lunch.
Shikamaru though, stayed put.
“I thought you had a wife to get back to Shikamaru?”
“I do, but there is something I wanted to discuss with you.”
Naruto arched an eyebrow. “Does Ino want you to have more time off?” He laughed, knowing home much the woman complained about not having the lazy man home.
“Its about Setsuna.”
Naruto sighed, and here he was in a good mood today. It looked like his day was going to go quickly downhill.
“What did he do this time?” Hopefully it wasn’t anything that would add to his mound of paper work.
“It’s not what he’s doing, more like what he is not doing. The boy just isn’t trying anymore. I remember when he had the potential to be a prodigy, hell he was one, but now he can’t put together a simple replacement jutsu.” Shikamaru paced the office, clearly not happy in what he was saying. He wasn’t the only one who had high hopes for Setsuna, only to have those hopes to be thrown out the window.
“Just give him some time. He just is going to a hard time. You know how the Chunin exam affected him.” The chunin exam had been the cause of all of this. It was Setsuna’s first time entering the test and like most, he entered it with high hopes and great confidence in himself. Despite all of this, he was still a child whom could have his dreams crushed. It was during the exam that he made a minor mistake that regrettably cost him the exam and caused injury to himself and his teammates. Naruto was there when they were taken from the forest of death. He was there to see Aika’s and Masaki’s parents fuss over their child. Reassuring them that they would make it through next time. It was then when he looked towards his son, that he saw the utter loneliness etched upon his face, and the determination melt from his eyes. Before him, Naruto saw his child broken and lost without the love of a parent, a love he yearned for, but could never have. It was something Naruto had not been allowed to give him.
“I have given him time Naruto, but with the exams coming up again I think it best if he was held back. I can’t have him pulling down his teammates.” As reluctant as he was to admit it, Shikamaru was right.
“A week, just one more week. If he hasn’t improved by then, I will pull him from the team temporarily and put him with a private tutor.”
“Will you talk to him?” Naruto didn’t meet Shikamaru’s eye. “ He looks up to you, ya know. Couldn’t hurt.”
“I will try.” Was all Naruto said.
Knowing that this conversation was finished, Shikamaru removed himself from the Hokages presence. He knew Naruto needed time to think, and he was more than happy to give his old friend all the time he needed.

Setsuna sat in Ichiraku’s picking at his ramen. Masaki and Aika had long ago left him, preferring to let their teammate sulk in peace. They knew nothing they could say would lift his spirits. It didn’t matter to them if he preformed poorly during their latest mission, but their supportive words went unheard.
Nibbling on a string of noodles, he grimaced. It had long grown cold. Setsuna glared at it; maybe his heated look would re-warm his much needed meal.
“Can I get you another?”
Blue eyes looked up in surprise, not expecting to see the man that had taken a seat next to him.
“Ho–Hokage-sama?” Naruto smiled, waving his hand.
“That’s me.” He had decided to go get some lunch soon after Shikamaru left, and before Sakura came back to badger him. It was just his dumb luck that Setsuna was here as well. Guess he could kill two birds with one stone.
Ayumi smiled as she came to take their orders. Naruto had his original, miso ramen, and Setsuna ordered the same thing he was picking at now.
When she left Naruto turned to his son.
“So what’s got you down? Normally, you’re out causing trouble of some kind.”
The boy frowned, glaring up as his Hokage. “I don’t cause trouble.” He mumbled.
Naruto had to laugh, he wasn’t even aware that he was an Uchiha, yet he had the glare down. It was now official it was something breed into the clan, and not something learned.
“You might have everyone else fooled, but not me. Can’t fool Konoha’s number one trouble maker.” Naruto stated proudly.
“Hn.” Setsuna decided that it was probably better not to comment on this.
“So little Suzume-chan, what’s got you down in the dumps.” Just like expected, Setsuna turned on Naruto, anger flashing in his eyes.
“Don’t fucking call me that...” He calmed quickly realizing just who he was cursing at. “Please, don’t call me that.”
“And why not? You’re a sparrow, and that’s how others see you, and the way you are going they’ll never see you as the eagle you can be.” Naruto slurped up his lunch, letting his words sink in.
“What does it matter? What reason do I have to get stronger?”
“You have plenty of reasons. Some are right in front of your eyes, and others you have yet to realize. If nothing else do it for yourself, make yourself into the best shinobi that you can be.”
Setsuna looked at his Hokage, knowing what the man was saying was true. He need to find the confidence that he had lost. Yet through all of that, he could not bring himself to find the motivation within himself. What he wanted was what his teammates had; a loving family pushing them to do their bests.
“But none of them are the reasons I want, what I need... I want support...” His brow knitted together in frustration, trying to piece together what he was feeling.
Naruto smiled. “Well you do have support, you have your teammates, your sensei, me...”
“Yes, but those people come and go... I want the support of a family.” Setsuna blushed; embarrassed he was sharing something like this with the Hokage of all people.
Naruto’s chest tightened at the boys words. “Your parents support you still, even if they can’t be with you anymore. They wouldn’t want to sulking like you are, knowing them they would want you to become the best shinobi that you can be.”
Setsuna met Naruto’s eyes, blue just like his own. “You knew my parents?”
“Hm... perhaps I did.” The blond said no more as he finished his bowl of ramen, his unknowing son following suit soon after.

Sakura huffed; it had to have been ages since the last time someone tried to organize these files.
With Naruto’s birthday fast approaching, it was time for his medical check up as well as making sure the Kyuubi’s seal was still working properly.
With Tsunade’s passing she had inherited the task. She was the only one both Tsunade and Naruto trusted to take care of matters. Besides Naruto wouldn’t let anyone else touch him. Once another nurse had to take over for Sakura when she was away on a mission. Naruto had refused to come in for his check and locked himself in his office until Sakura got back.
While digging in the back of one of the file boxes, her hand brushed against what felt like a small scroll. Which was weird since medical records were usually written on regular parchment.
Taking it out for a better look, she frowned at what she saw. It was a sealed scroll, but it was not just any seal that kept this document closed. It was the seal of the Hokage.
No doubt this was Tsunade’s doing while she held the title of Hokage. It was probably a document that held information on the Kyuubi, since that was the only thing that Sakura could think of that would merit such a seal.
Because of her position and her close relationship with Naruto, she had come to learn how to dispel such a seal.
Letting curiosity get the better of her, Sakura did the elaborate hand seals. Quickly the seal went up in flames, burning away.
Sakura wasted no time in unrolling the scroll. Emerald eyes danced over the page, growing wider and wider with each passing line.
When she reached the end, all she could do was drop the thing as if it had burned her. She stared at it in disbelief.
“Oh my god.” Was all she could say in the end.
