1. Kakashi's and Kurenai's oath

Hey a guy here's the first chapter of my new story The Black Fang. Well don't want to spoil the story so I'll just start the story now.

Chapter 1: Kurenai's and Kakashi's oath

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed as he stared down at the sleeping blond baby in his arms. This baby was Naruto Uzumaki the son of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, The Red Hot Habanero. Sadly Naruto's parents were now dead. Worst of all Naruto was now the Jinchuriki of The Nine Tailed Fox. Hiruzen knew that Naruto's life was going to be filled with sadness and solitude if he didn't do something, which was why he was here tonight. He hoped out of the people he called one would take him in. He wished Jiraiya would take the boy but knew that Jiraiya had to do his travels and the road was not a place to raise a baby. Also considering Jiraiya's "research" he knew the child should not go with Jiraiya. Hiruzen sensed someone enter the room and knew this must be the Anbu reporting in. "What is it?" He asked quietly so not to disturb Naruto. "Lord Hokage, their here." Hiruzen nodded. "Send them in." He said. Hiruzen stood up with Naruto in his arms. He walked around his desk and held Naruto in his arms. The door opened and some of the most respected Ninja in the Leaf Village entered the room.

Kakashi Hattake, The Copy Ninja, Kurenai Yuhi The Genjustu Mistress, Might Guy The Green Beast, Asuma Sarutobi The Wind Guardian, and Mikoto Uchiha The Fire Mistress. Hiruzen gave them a small sad smile as they all stood at attention. "Well I have called you all here for a very important matter." He said "I'm afraid the Fourth Hokage and his wife Kushina are dead." Everyone's eyes widened. No spoke a word as the words sank in. "Sensei is dead?" Kakashi asked his voice breaking. Hiruzen nodded sadly. "Yes he sacrificed himself to seal the Nine Tails. He sealed him in this boy Naruto Uzumaki." Everyone gasped again. "His son?" Mikoto asked. Hiruzen nodded. "Yes I don't know why he sealed him in Naruto except that to stop someone else's child to have to carry that burden. This is why I have called you here. Naruto will face a childhood of solitude with the entire village hating him once word gets out. Minato wanted Naruto to be renounced as a hero but I doubt that will be the case. So to save Naruto from this burden I ask one of you to take Naruto under your care and raise him." Silence filled the room. "I'll do it." Kakashi and Kurenai said at the same time

They both blushed but fortunately for Kakashi his face was covered up. Hiruzen smiled. "Well." He said. "May I ask why you suggested yourself?" Kakashi and Kurenai looked at each other before Kakashi turned to look at Hiruzen. "Well." He said. "He's my master's son it'd be against Minato Sensei to not take him in. Besides from that I know what it's like to grow up without parents and wouldn't want Naruto to have to bear that burden. From what I can tell Naruto will have a big enough burden to carry anyways." Kakashi rubbed the back of his head wondering if Hiruzen would be satisfied with his statement. Hiruzen nodded and turned to Kurenai. "And you?" he asked. Kurenai hesitated in answering Hiruzen wondering how to answer. In all honesty she didn't know why she did. After all her father died fighting the Nine Tails and this boy was…No she knew this boy was not the Nine Tails and knew it would make her father frown at her if she said that. "Lord Hokage." She said. "This boy is the son of a woman I respected. I feel I should do something to help because my father is dead. I know now what having no parents feels like. And no boy should feel that pain. I also know my father would frown upon me if I held a grudge against this boy who's done nothing wrong. So I would like to care for him." She said confidently. Hiruzen smiled. Kakashi turned to look at Kurenai. He couldn't stop himself from realizing how much gratitude he had for Kurenai in this moment. He couldn't believe that Kurenai would sacrifice so much just to make sure Naruto didn't have to carry these burdens.

Hiruzen smiled. "Alright." He said finally coming to his decision. "Well I will ask you two this." He said. Kakashi and Kurenai turned to look at him. "Why don't you both take in Naruto?" He asked. Kurenai blushed she couldn't help it. Take in Naruto with Kakashi as her… She was well surprised would Kakashi accept this? Could she accept it? She suddenly found herself looking at Naruto. She saw the baby that would need someone and wouldn't have anyone if she didn't do this. She knew a child needed a father and a mother. "I'll do it." She said turning to look at Kakashi. Kakashi's visible eye widened. He really couldn't believe that she was willing to live with him. To pretend to be his wife just for Naruto. He suddenly felt warmth seeping into his cold heart. He knew what to do but had to make sure Kurenai wanted it first. "Kurenai," he said. Kurenai turned to look at him. "Listen." He said. "I don't want you to think you have to do this. You have a choice and I know that you should make sure this is what you want. I don't want to see you hurt after this." He watched her waiting for her reaction. Kurenai suddenly broke out in a smile. Her teeth were a perfect white which made her look beautiful. Kakashi blushed at the thought glad his mask covered his face. "Kakashi thank you." Kurenai said. "But this is what I want." Kakashi smiled and turned to Hiruzen who had a small smile on his face.

"Lord Hokage." He said. "I'll accept the offer." Hiruzen smiled as he saw the determination in both of their eyes. "Well." He said. "Then at this point forth, Naruto Uzumaki no longer exists and is now Naruto Hattake. This is an S ranked secret and everyone is this room must not repeat a word of this to anyone. From now on Naruto will be in the care of Kakashi Hattake and Kurenai Yuhi. You two will be in charge of his welfare, training, and wellbeing. Does everyone agree to these terms?" Everyone nodded. Hiruzen nodded and stepped towards Kurenai. He stopped in front of her and gave her a smile. Hiruzen lowered his head and kissed Naruto's forehead. "Good luck Naruto Uzumaki." He said. "I look forward to seeing you grow." He then held Naruto out to Kurenai. Kurenai took Naruto and held him in her arms. She looked down at him and felt strong warmth feel her heart. Naruto was sleeping peacefully and had a small smile on his face. Kurenai stared down in admiration. Suddenly Naruto opened his eyes. Kurenai gasped. Naruto had the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. His eyes reminded her of the night sky. The boy looked up at her quizzically then suddenly smiled and closed his eyes and snuggled into her chest falling back into a peaceful sleep. "He looks so much like Minato sensei." Kakashi said sadly. Kurenai looked up at him and saw the sadness in his eyes but another emotion was there happiness. It warmed her heart to see Kakashi happy. She suddenly knew what to do.

Kakashi stared at Naruto's face which resembled Kushina he also had Minato sensei's hair and eyes. He felt happiness and knew that this image would never leave his head. Suddenly Kurenai stepped forward and held Naruto out to him. Kakashi looked up at her to see her giving him a small smile. Kakashi smiled and slowly nodded and took Naruto from her arms. He held Naruto close to his heart and couldn't stop the grin on his face. He stared down at him in pure happiness and admiration. He looked up at Kurenai to see her smiling happily to. Kakashi smiled "Well we better get him home." He said. Kurenai nodded in agreement. Kakashi held Naruto out to her and she took him from his arms.

Kakashi held the door for Kurenai and saw everyone else waiting for them. Mikoto stepped forward with a smile on her face. "Good job you two." She said. "I'll help in any way I can." Kurenai nodded. "Thank you." She said. Mikoto nodded. "No problem speaking of which I'll go and get the spare crib that I have at my house. Asuma will you help me?" She asked. Asuma nodded but walked towards Kurenai. "Kurenai I'm proud of you." He said. "Take care of Naruto." Kurenai nodded happily. Asuma was her best friend form the academy almost a brother his words were really important to her. Asuma turned to Kakashi. "Kakashi protect them both." Kakashi nodded. "Of course." He said. "I'll protect them with my life." Asuma nodded and walked away with Mikoto. Guy stepped forward. "Good job you two!" He said. "The flames of youth will guide you two. I'll assist in any way I can. Know do not forget to teach Naruto the FLAMES OF YOUTH!" He shouted. Naruto stirred slightly and shifted in Kurenai's arms. Kurenai glared at Guy. Guy took a step back nervously. "OH, bye!" He said and ran from the room. Kakashi smirked. Kurenai really could glare. He made a mental note to not get on her bad side. After all she was the Genjustu Mistress.

Kakashi placed his hand on her shoulder. "Ready?" He asked. She nodded. Kakashi led her out the building and headed towards his house. Soon his house came into view. Kakashi approached it and unlocked it. He held the door for Kurenai and steeped inside. He turned on the light. He knew they were going to have to wait for Mikoto to be able to go to bed after all she had the crib for Naruto to sleep in. Kakashi led her to the sitting room and they sat down on his couch. Kakashi turned to look at Kurenai who was staring down at Naruto. Kakashi studied Naruto and knew one thing they to conceal Naruto's identity. "Kurenai?" he said. Kurenai turned to look at him. "Yes Kakashi?" She asked. "We need to conceal Naruto's identity. We have to make sure he can be put as our son no question asked. Like his hair and eyes." Kurenai nodded. "I understand." She said sadly. "I'll put up a permanent Genjustu that will change his hair. But I won't change his eyes." She glared at him like daring him to object. Kakashi nodded he saw the way she had stared at his eyes earlier when he had awoken, and to be honest he didn't want to change his eyes either. Those eyes looked exactly as Minato Sensei's and he didn't want to change that. Kurenai nodded and made a few hand signs. Kakashi watched as Naruto's hair turned silver like his. Kurenai looked up at him. "Good enough?" she asked. He nodded.

The doorbell rang Kakashi stood up and walked towards the door. He answered it to see Mikoto and Asuma. Kakashi held the door as they stepped in. Mikoto smiled. "So where does it go?" She asked. Kakashi led them to the spare room and opened it. It was a medium sized room with blue walls. He helped Asuma carry it to the corner as he placed it down. "Thank you." He said. Mikoto and Asuma nodded. They left the room and headed towards the door. "Oh Kakashi?" Mikoto said. Kakashi looked at her. Mikoto smiled at him. "Take turns for when he wakes up in the night you'll sleep better." She said. Kakashi nodded. "Thanks." He said. Mikoto nodded and her and Asuma left.

Kakashi walked towards the living room. "Kurenai?" he said. "Yes?" she asked. "The cribs ready." He said. She nodded and stood up and followed Kakashi into the bedroom. She placed him in the crib as Kakashi grabbed a blanket form the closet he placed it around Naruto's shoulders. He and Kurenai sat there watching him sleep. "Kurenai?" He said. She turned to look at him. "I promise you. I will protect you and Naruto. I know that we didn't plan this and I don't know how it will work but I'd like to get to know you so we can have a good relationship. I know I probably won't be the best husband but I promise to try. Will you let me?" Kurenai smiled as she stared at him. She reached up and place her hands on his mask and looked at him quizzically asked for permission. Kakashi nodded. He trusted her. She pulled down the mask and gasped in surprise. Kakashi was…gorgeous. She stared at him then stood up on her tiptoes, and wrapped her arms around his neck. She stared at him. Then leaned forward and kissed him. Her lips were soft and sweet like honey. He leaned into and wrapped her arms around her waist. He kissed her back moving his lips with hers. This felt great perfect. Kakashi felt completely happy. He felt way better than he had in years. Kurenai pulled away to look at him. "Kakashi I promise you that I will care for you and Naruto. I'll be there when you need me." She said. Kakashi stared at her. Then he pulled her in a hug. "Thank you Kurenai." He said. Kurenai nodded. "Thank you Kakashi." She said. Both at that moment thanked Naruto as well for bringing them together. They had a promise now that both intended to keep.
