Lost and Found
Chapter One: Discovery
The small, four year old blond boy ran through a near by alley, His small feet tossing water around as he ran through the puddles. He wasn't sure why he was running, He had gotten used to the frequent beatings and familiar cuss words aimed at him. It was normal for him, but this time was different. This time he hadn't actually done anything. He turned his head to see the angry villagers chasing him, fury on their faces. He didn't understand, He had been walking home from buying more ramen when another young boy screamed out 'Monster! Monster!' Naruto looked around to see what the child was yelling about, He didn't see a monster. He smiled, thinking it must be a game, When he turned back around to see the child, He was being pointed at by a few adults. One of the adults finally yelled "Kyuubi!" And started chasing him, and now here is was.. Running through an alley trying to get home before he was caught and beaten to a pulp.
Kakashi, the youngest Jounin of his generation, graduating the academy at the age of five then finally becoming a chuunin at the age of only fourteen, Was just walking down the street when he sensed something.. It was a strong chakra, but not like his or his late sensei's. No.. This was much more powerful. It was a pure feeling with the slightest bit of rage in it. He decided to shrug it off.. that is, until he heard the blood curdling scream of a child. His head swooped up from his orange novel only to see a crowd of villagers in the alley across from him, Getting up and slowly making his way over he finally saw who the scream came from. Naruto.. HIS Naruto. He scoffed. The boy wasn't actually his. He would have been had he signed the adoption papers four years ago.. His thoughts went back to that night, The night the child was born and the night his sensei had been murdered...
"Come on Kashi, You're really going to turn down your sensei's child?" The third said dryly, slight disbelief in his voice
"Yes. That's kind of what I said, Saratobi.." Kakashi shook his head slightly, peering at the small boy in the Hokage's arms. Kakashi was only eighteen. He had lived on his own since his father died and was just coming out of his childhood. How could he possibly take care of this boy. It wasn't only that he was but a child himself.. but this boy.. was.. Well.. his sensei. He was the exact image of his Sensei.. It hurt to look at the boy, how could he be expected to live with him and care for him with that... monster in him. He shook his head, embarrassed at where his thoughts have gone. Of course the boy, himself wasn't the fox.. But he did possess it. Kakashi sighed. "I'm sorry Sir.. I-... I can't.." He looked back down at the boy. The small blonde had his, tiny, chubby arms outstretched and reaching for Kakashi. His small hands opening and closing as a gesture for the silver haired man to pick him up. The Jounin almost gave in but decided against it as he looked over the boy once more, Deep, Blue eyes.. Golden spikes framing his chubby face. "I'm sorry.." and with that he left the Hokage's office. Instantly regretting his decision, But not going back on it.
He was pulled from the memory as he heard loud sobbing and threats towards the boys life. He eyed the villagers, momentarily stunned when he saw the blood surrounding the child. A deep growl came from his chest and his body started to move before his mind could find itself. In a matter of moments, he was sitting on the ground, cradling the boy in his arms, glaring at the lifeless bodies around them. He snapped out of whatever trance he was in and his eyes widen, reality hitting him hard. He had just killed, over ten villagers. All for this boy. He didn't understand the feelings he held for the child. But whatever they were... He shook his head. 'Don't over think things, Hatake..' he thought to himself as he stood, Naruto passed out in his arms. He took a moment to gaze at the face of his Sensei. Despite the cuts, bruises and blood framing it, It was, indeed, his sensei's face. His body tensed as memories flashed through his mind. Tiredly, he walked back to the boys "apartment" Though, Kakashi thought of it more as a large, filthy room crawling with bugs and rodents. reluctantly, He laid the boy down on the mat on the floor, Which he assumed was the childs bed due to the scrap of material for a blanket and one, under-stuffed pillow. Taking Naruto's shoes and jacket off, He covered him up and ran his hand through the golden spikes sprawled out on the boys forehead before turning and disappearing out of the window.
