   Summary

   Twelve years ago, Tsunade and Jiraya gave up their son to protect him from the war consuming the shinobi world.

   Now, Jiraya is assigned to lead a Genin team—and comes face to face with a boy carrying the name Namikaze Minato.

   His son has no idea who he is.
   Jiraya isn’t sure if that’s a blessing or the cruelest thing fate could have done to him.
