The Body

                                    

                                          
It had been four years since Shota had last seen Jiraiya, just before he turned four. It was four years ago when the dinner with him, Minato and Shibito happened. The dinner where Shota had asked if building a body for Mono was possible. 
Shota hadn't seen the white haired old man in a long time but every couple of months Minato would stop by his house to examine Shota's Chakra pathways and take notes to pass to the Sannin. 
After the war started Shota hadn't been able to meet up with Team Seven in months. The continuous espionage missions being handed to them leading to the teams never being in the village at the same time. 
When it was nearing August, a whole nine months since the war had begun, Shota was training fighting in unison with his Cat summons when a yellow flash came out of nowhere. Minato stood in front of him smiling. 
Shota was taken aback for a second by the ginning smile of the Jonin before being plowed to the ground by a sobbing Obito. 
"Shotttaaaa! I missed you!"
He could only stare at the sky blankly patting the ten year olds back to comfort him. Silver hair and a brown bob came into view as Kakashi and Rin leaned over him.
Rin smiled and helped get the emotional boy of him. Kakashi then swooped in to pull Shota to his feet. 
"When did you guys get back?" The raven haired boy dusted of the dirt from his legs and Spock in a grumbling tone like he had just woken up from a deep sleep. 
Kakashi rubbed the back of his head, his other hand still limp after helping Shota stand. "About ten minutes ago. Obito wanted to come see you is all."
Minato's head slid between them and placed a hand on both of their shoulders. "I distinctly remember it wasn't just Obito asking to come see you-" a gloved hand pushed his face away and a beet red Kakashi ducked his head down into his chest, stepping away from his close proximity to Shota in favour of going after his teacher. 
"You started it by saying you needed to talk to him Sensei!" 
Minato laughed and dodged away from an angry Kakashi. 
"Yep!" He stuck his tongue out and ran up to Shota. "The first prototype is ready. Jiraya is back in the village for a few days to talk with the Hokage so he's bringing it round this afternoon."
Shota felt disbelief that they had actually done it. "Uh- wha- thank you Minato-san!"
Mono it's finally happening!
"Ehh it was nothing." The blond hair man blushed with the praise and rubbed his spiky hair. "We'll meet you here this afternoon for the test." Shota could only nod walking backwards before taking off at a run. He ran through the Village and down the streets until he got home where he told Shibito the news and asked him to to be them this afternoon.
Shota sat in his room wandering what the body would be like and how the seal worked. His mind racing at the possibilities if the test worked.
Mono?
Hm...
Aren't you more excited?
Bout what? 
Getting a body! What did you think Minato was talking about?
