Naruto shook off his mother's hand, "Uncle! I heard from Sasuke; you said brother Itachi would be as strong as Father?!"
Kushina curled her lips, "You mean Itachi? Well, he's my disciple, so of course, he'll surpass Minato!"
Naruto pouted, "But my father is the strongest - he's the Hokage! He'll make me stronger than Sasuke!"
Kushina sighed, patting his head, "Sure, he will."
Andrew gazed at her, raising his eyebrow, mouthing, 'What happened?'
Kushina glanced at Naruto, "Naruto, why don't you help your papa set the plates up."
Naruto turned his head, "No!"
Kushina narrowed her eyes - there were flames behind her, "Naruto." She said his name with force.
Naruto sat up straight, standing up, "Yes!!" He ran away.
Andrew wanted to laugh at the scene, but Kushina looked at him sternly, making him back off and shrug.
"So?"
"Nine tails chakra is creating a problem for him, even though Minato reinforced the seal. Naruto's chakra is too much; he has a problem controlling it." She rubbed the back of her head, "Moreover, he went on me more than Minato." She sighed, "He's not good with the technical stuff."
Andrew glanced towards the direction where the boy ran away, "Don't worry. If need be, I'll teach him."
Kushina's eyes sharpened, her lips turned as if she had been waiting for this moment, "Good!! Honey!! Did you hear - Andrew would be teaching Naruto!"
"YAY!!!" Naruto rushed out, jumping on Andrew 's body, "Really?!"
Minato came out with a big grin, "Yeah, I heard!" It was as if he had been standing back, holding Naruto.
Andrew's mouth twitched, this family. It was lucky he didn't say your son is my son's dialogue.
"I fell for it, didn't I."
Naruto looked up, grinning, "Hook, line, and sinker!"
Andrew laughed, tickling him, "Oh! So, even you were in the plan!"
Naruto giggled, twisting his body, freeing himself, "Well, I had to make puppy dog eyes."
Andrew patted his head hard, turning towards Kushina and Minato, "How did you know?"
Kushina thrust her breasts out, "Are you forgetting? I am an Uzumaki!"
Minato sighed, "She's a little sensitive about these things...you know...after the incident."
"Yeah, I understand - five years is still too early?"
Kushina blinked, gazing at Naruto, "Until it's over...it's too early."
Before Naruto could ask anything, "So, why did you visit?"
"I wanted to ask what is going on?" He asked Minato.
Kushina smiled, understanding. She picked up Naruto, "Naruto, let's go set the plates."
Naruto tilted his head, saying, "Ok."
She took the pan from Minato going inside.
Minato walked forward, adjusting the apron, sitting on the couch, "Well, there is some trouble. Did you hear from Shisui what his Mangekyo Sharingan is?"
v shook his head, "With all the hush-hush orders? The boy won't even talk to me."
Minato sighed, "Yeah, It's called Kotoamatsukami. It's a power that can control the mind of others, but it's so subtle that the other party doesn't even realize they are being controlled."
Andrew rubbed his chin, "No wonder there was the hush-hush thing. I thought it was outrageous, so I put a time-space seal on him - it'd protect him from his eyes getting stolen. Even if he's dead."
Minato knit his brow, "You are thinking the same thing?"
"Danzo will try to take his eyes? Yeah."
"I have my men of Shisui - if Danzo tried anything, it would be a good opportunity to put him down a notch or two."
"So, how's the Uchiha's reaction, with the boy awakening Mangekyo? Danzo must have revealed to them by now?"
Minato smiled wryly, "Yeah, they are more excited about the revolting part. Danzo is not making it easy for me."
He continued, "With your training, he's strong enough to go toe to toe with most ninja. And now, with Mangekyo, I don't think many could take him on, and Uchiha knows that. Let alone there is Itachi."
Andrew leaned back, "I understand the feeling, but on the other side, to balance them, there is you and Naruto in the future, Might Guy and maybe Hinata."
"Hinata?" Minato blinked - it came out of nowhere, "Hyuga's eldest? I thought she-"
Andrew gazed at him with a big smile, "I trained her on a whim - she reminded someone. She turned out to be more talented than I thought."
"Interesting," Minato said with a glint in his eyes. He breathed, "Did you know the two came with a crazy plan."
"Oh, what?"
"Using Kotoamatsukami on the Uchiha, changing their view."
"Danzo would stop him," Andrew said, narrowing his eyes.
"Why would you say that?" Minato was a bit surprised, not understanding.
"Danzo wants the eyes to go with Hashirama's arm - I have seen what's below the bandage. You should be able to feel it if you use the mode you used during training?"
Minato frowned, "There are too many enhancements in the way. But I would draw him out before we make a move."
Andrew leaned back, "Then let's wait."
Minato stood up, smelling the burnt smell, "Would you like to stay and eat?"
Andrew curled his lips, "No, thank you."
He turned and left the house; he looked around for a moment before leaving for the Uchiha's.
He passed by the Hyuuga's house, reaching the Uchiha's territory. There were a few ninja guards that activated their Sharingan, watching him. But after they realized who it was, they let him go.
Andrew was famous in the Uchiha's as the teacher of Might Guy and Shisui. Because of that, he got many privileges; Andrew reached Fukagu's house, knocking on the door.

Suddenly, he heard small footsteps, and the door opened - a tiny head peeked at him from the bottom.
"Uncle Andrew!" Sasuke slid open the door, running out without shoes. Andrew picked her up, smiling, "Sasuke."
Sasuke sniffed, "You smell like Naruto!"
Andrew stopped his entering footstep, looking at Sasuke with an unusual gaze, "What are you a housewife?!"
Sasuke turned, blushing red, "I am not!!"
Andrew laughed, entering the house,
There was a large hall with a room on the left. Mikoto peeked out, "Andrew?"
"Hey, I hope you don't mind me coming without notice?"
"No, it's a pleasant surprise!" The atmosphere at home was already awkward; it was good seeing him here.
Andrew entered the room; Fugaku and Itachi were sitting at the table eating, both of them were about to get up, but Andrew gestured for them to keep sitting.
He sat in front of Fugaku and Mikoto - on his right was Itachi, and Sasuke on his lap, back to eating his food.
Andrew sat happily, looking at Sasuke, "Sorry for visiting like this."
Fugaku wiped his mouth with a towel, "No, there's no need to apologize. It's an honor that you are visiting."
"Well, I just met Minato and Kushina; the two of them tricked me into training Naruto." He sighed - before anyone could say it, Sasuke stood on his lap, saying something with a stuffed mouth.
"Sasuke!" Fugaku and Itachi said at the same time.
Sasuke twitched, sitting back down, chewing his food while looking down. Andrew and Mikoto smiled at Sasuke, "I heard how Naruto and Sasuke are competitors. So, I thought I'd train the two of them together."
Fugaku's eyes sharpened, looking at a happy Sasuke.
"Can brother train too?" Sasuke asked, swallowing his food down.
Andrew smiled, doting on him, "Yeah, sure."
Sasuke looked at his brother with a grinning face, "Brother, we can train together." Recently, his brother didn't have enough time for him. This would be great.
Fugaku looked at Sasuke, "Sasuke, go to your room."
"But,"
"Go."
Sasuke stood up, sulking, running out of the room. Itachi seemed worried, but he kept sitting.
Fugaku looked at Andrew, "You must be aware of the situation?"
Andrew stopped smiling, "And?"
"Are you sure you want to be so close to an Uchiha?"
Andrew rubbed his chin, "Shisui, Itachi, Sasuke, and Izumi...I consider these four children the future of Uchiha. I'll guarantee them."
Itachi twitched, clenching his fist, looking down. It was rare for him to show emotions.
Fugaku noticed that too, but he was staring at Andrew, seeing Andrew not waver - Fugaku bowed, startling Itachi, "I see, thank you for that. I'll send Sasuke tomorrow."
Andrew stood up, glancing at Itachi, "If you don't mind. I'd like to take Itachi for a walk."
Fugaku glanced at Itachi, nodding - Mikoto had that understanding smiling face of her as Itachi stood up and walked out.
Outside the house,
Andrew and Itachi walked out of the Uchiha area, "Want some Ramen?"
"No, I am full."
"You working for Danzo?"
Itachi didn't even twitch this time - just kept walking.
Andrew sighed, putting his head on Itachi's shoulder - two of them were enveloped by the mist, moving to a forest area.
"This is?" Itachi finally reacted.
Andrew took out a smaller-sized scroll from his pocket; opening it, the sword Enryakoten appeared in his hand.
"Itachi, close your eyes."
Itachi closed his eyes without doubting him, but the words entered his ear, "Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu!"
When he opened his eyes, the sword in Andrew's hand had changed, turning into a katana with a different green hilt and diamond marks.
"Come, let's go."
