Minato stared at the backs of the father and son and smiled involuntarily knowing that the problem was solved.

Yuki suddenly stopped, they were now around a hundred meters away from the waterfall, Yuki slowly turned to his right and walked.

Itachi and Minato looked at each other and shrugged as they followed Yuki deeper into the forest.

They saw a smoothened medium sized boulder that was the size of a stool.

It was rectangular and had some carving on it, Itachi inched towards the boulder only to stop in shock, His father had teary eyes...

"Itachi" Yuki said in a hoarse voice as he sat on the ground with a sigh.

"This is the resting place of my friend, Yamanaka Akio..." He stated as Itachi stayed silently wanting to know more about what happened.

"This happened when I was around fourteen, we were sent to a b-ranked mission due to our proficiency, it was supposed to be an information gathering mission, quite simple although dangerous. We sneaked in as spies into the town and our sensei left us with a stern warning to meet the informant as we were messing around in the room" he paused to swallow some of the saliva gathering in his mouth and continued.

"We suddenly heard some commotion and Akio decided to take a look through the window, turns out it was a set up!" Yuki said as Itachi's eyes widened in shock, "I felt something was wrong and pulled him to the ground and took cover from the window as several kunai struck the floor, they immediately left but Akio saw them and figured out their identities and almost immediately our sensei came!" Yuki trailed off with a melancholic smile in his eyes as he reminisced the times.

"We brought him safely back to Konoha" Yuki said with a smile and stated, "But we thought it was better to keep one here to always remember our comrade who died here, although this would be maintained until we pass on!" he chuckled and ruffled Itachi's hair.

Itachi who was deep in thought about the story, the tale of his father, immediately gasped and stared at Yuki with stars in his eyes.

"THAT TOWN WAS THE PLACE?!" Itachi shouted excitedly as Yuki laughed and nodded as he lifted him off the ground and put him on his shoulders.

Itachi looked away but Yuki could see the bright smile on his face and turned to Minato in shock.

"When were you here!?" Yuki shouted in surprise as Minato turned around.

"That's it, I'm f.u.c.k.i.n.g done..." he g.r.o.a.n.e.d and facepalmed as Yuki stared at him weirdly.

"He's acting weirdly" Yuki thought and thought of something.

He then laughed weirdly and looked at Minato while saying, "I didn't know you wanted a ride on my shoulders!".

Minato who was distracted from his thoughts stared at Yuki with dead eyes until Yuki bent down and pat his own shoulder urging Minato to get on.

"Maybe I too should have a child?" Minato mused and smiled brightly, his face turned red as he imagined something.

"f.u.c.k.i.n.g pervert" Yuki commented as Minato coughed in embarrassment and whistled away, leaving the duo alone as he teleported back to the town.
