Chapter 1
The village of Konaha still laid in ruins after the nine tails beast attack, leaving a lot of people to mourn over lost loved ones including the beloved fourth hokage, Minato Namikaze, and his wife Kushina Uzumaki. Everything seemed to have gone by so fast, it felt like family and friends were just there and left too soon. Iruka Umino could only think that way as he stood over his parents grave. The omega could now only cherish memorizes he had with them. It has been a month since the attack and everything was still dim in the leaf village. The third hokage has said it might take a long time for Konaha to go back to it's normal self.
The rain sprinkled around him and the boy could only wonder if it was the other hokages crying at what their village had now become. Iruka is also waiting to return to who he really once was. Instead of a warm smile he whore a deep frown, brown eyes were at one time shinning with life, now, where a deep pure black. He wondered when he'll be able to smile like he use too.
"Iruka Umino?" a voice said behind him. The brunette looked over his shoulder to find two shinobi.
"Yes?" he asked, voice low and quite.
"Come with us, the third hokage would like to speak with you." Iruka wondered what the hokage could possibly want with him and got up to follow the two shinobi to find out. They led him to the hokage tower into the office where the hokage stood behind his desk, back facing him. The two shinobi had since left, leaving the two alone. "You wanted to see me hokage sir?" the omega said in a small voice.
The older male turned around "Yes I did, Iruka Umino, for I have a task for you." the brunette raised an eyebrow.
"What would that be sir?"
The hokage turned back to face the window, looking out at the rain. "You see, as you already know, things happened this month that have left a lot in despair." the brunette looked at the floor with a sadden expression.
"Yes, I know sir."
"One of those many people had been our own hokage and his wife, but, we had found something that shocked us all." the man paused "Their very own son." suddenly, a shinobi appeared standing besides the desk, holding a white bundle.
"That is quite surprising, but may I ask, what does this have to do with me?"
"Well, you have those maternal instincts, as I hear from many, that not a lot of children at your age have. So, I was wondering if you could raise their son." the omega's eyes went wide.
"W-what?!"
"I asked if you could please raise this child." Iruka was so baffled that he could hardly speak!
"B-but w-why me?"
"Because, every other omega has turned down this, you are my only hope. This child is very special."
"In what way?"
"He has the nine tails sealed inside of him." the brunette gasped.
"R-really?"
"Yes, he has the nine tails contained inside of him, and I feel like if he grows up without any love or care, he might grow to hate this place and want to destroy our loved home. Please Iruka, you are our only hope to keep the village safe out of harms way." the shinobi who was holding the bundle walked over to him and placed the baby in his arms.
Iruka looked down at the child's chubby cheeks that strangely had whispers dashed across him. Even if this baby contained the very demon that killed his family, the omega felt a smile form onto his lips, which hasn't happened at all lately. He's always had a soft spot for kids, maybe he just needed to hold one. It took some time to think, but, the brunette made up his mind.
"I...guess I could." surely he didn't want the poor baby to grow up alone.
The hokage smiled "Thank you Iruka, very much. Now that you've agreed I guess I will tell you his name. His name is Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki." the brunette wasn't sure what was making him smile so much, but he looked down at the blonde child in his arms, thinking how well the name suited him. "Before you leave, there is someone else I must introduce." Iruka looked back up at the hokage, but failed to notice the other figure in the corner in the shadows. "This would be Kakashi Hakate, a member of the ANBU. He'll be protecting you." the one called Kakashi came out from the darkness, though, the brunette could not see his face because of the cat mask he wore.
Iruka glared as his scent hit him, the scent of an alpha "Why would I need protecting?" he asked.
"Like I had said, Naruto holds the nine tails, it doesn't matter if he is just a child, people hate him and will want to kill him. Other villages will want to capture him and do possible horrible things." that still didn't answer his question, but, knew better then to speak again, already knowing the answer. "I think you and Kakashi will get along just fine. How old are you again?"
"Twelve."
"Twelve? Well, Kakashi is just a year older!" the hokage smiled which still didn't comfort the omega. Kakashi didn't say anything. The hokage kept the smile on his face still "I entrust the two of you with a hard and dangerous task, I thank you both. You may leave now." both the omega and alpha bowed before exciting the office. Iruka really didn't know now what he was getting himself into.
thank you all for reading:)!
