Chapter 1: Discovery
The Sandaime Hokage was sitting at his desk. The paperwork was stacked high along his desk, leaning precariously towards the edge. 'Kami' he thought. 'It will take me all night to sort through this lot..' Suddenly, there was a short wrapping on the door. Hiruzen looks up from leaning over a document, staring at the door.
"Enter."
Standing over the threshold stood an ANBU member.
"Ah, Kakashi-san, how can I help you?"
The ANBU removed his Dog mask. Kakashi looked slightly flustered and showed signs of tiredness, there where shadows under his exposed eye.
"Hokage-sama, there is something you should know.."
As Kakashi continued to explain, Hiruzen's eyes widen. As Kakashi finished, he stood up.
"Kakashi, are you certain that Naruto has it?"
"I am certain, Hokage-sama" Kakashi replied.
"Alright." The Hokage walked over to the door, picking up his hat and looks over at an ANBU on the far end of the room. "Cat, send word to Kurenai and direct her to the hospital to interrogate the victims, we need to assess how much they know and what to do. Tell her to report back to me once she has talked to them."
"Hai, Hokage-sama." The ANBU climbs out the open window and sets off, jumping from roof to roof. Hiruzen turns back to Kakashi. "Lead the way."
As Hiruzen and Kakashi walked towards the apartment buildings, people where celebrating. The day was the Tenth of October, five years since the Yondaime Hokage defeated the Kyuubi no Kitsune.
"So, can you explain what has happened, Kakashi-san?" the Hokage looked at Kakashi and he looked back, a look of slight concern on his face"
"Not much to tell Hokage-sama." Kakashi paused, "You know better than anyone what happens at this time of year."
Hiruzen nodded slowly, he knew that today was not only marking the defeat of the Kyuubi, but also Naruto's birthday. He frowned; he knew exactly how the villagers treated him.
"Go on."
"I was coming back from.. That's not important." Kakashi continued.
'Reading his porn books for all I know' The Hokage thought.
"-And I came across Naruto being cornered by two men, they were drunk and hurling insults at him, as most do." He pauses, "Naruto was then assaulted by one of them, kicking him down, just as I was about to intervene, I saw Naruto stand back, after there was a lot of screaming, I could not believe my eyes of what I saw. When I went down to confront him he was already gone." He pauses and leans down so only Hiruzen could hear him, "Who could believe, Minato's son possesses the Wood Release."
Hiruzen nods. "We'll find out soon enough, Kakashi-san." He loops his thumbs in his belt, looking around the street. It was around ten o' clock at night and the streets where busy with people drinking, talking and eating around the stalls.
Hiruzen arrived at the apartment, closely followed by Kakashi. He looks through one of the windows; it was dimly lit and quiet. He nods to Kakashi and knocks on the door. A few moments passed and then the door opened, there stood a small boy. He only looked around five years old and had messy blond hair, styled into spikes, he also bared whisker like markings on his cheeks. He wore a orange tee-shirt with blue shorts and short black sandals. He looks up at the two men, a small look of surprise on his face.
"Naruto." Spoke up Hiruzen, taking of his hat as he speaks.
Naruto's eyes darted between the Hokage, and then Kakashi. "Jiji, who is that he?" He looks towards Kakashi.
"This.. Is Hatake Kakashi, Naruto-san." Kakashi give a short nod towards Naruto. "Can we come in?"
Naruto nods quickly, moving away from the entrance to let them through.
Hiruzen looked around the apartment, there was a number of ramen cups scattered around the living room, in the corner is a small couch and a TV opposite it once again with a cup of ramen on top if it. 'Well, Naruto sure has made himself home.' Naruto wanders over to the couch, brushing off even more ramen cups and gestures silently for the two to sit down. The Hokage sits in the seat, gesturing for Naruto to sit beside him.
"Naruto-san, do you know why I'm here?" Hiruzen looks at Naruto, concerned.
Naruto shakes his head "No, Jiji." He looks at Kakashi, fidgeting slightly in his seat.
"Naruto, we need to talk about what happened a few hours ago."
Naruto froze in place, he suddenly looks frightened. Hiruzen looked at the boy in pity.
Hiruzen smiles as warmly as he can, "You can trust us, Kakashi has already told me most of what just transpired, but I want to hear your side to, Naruto-san."
Naruto relaxes slightly, he knew that the Hokage could be trusted, it was stupid not to.
"I... I was walking back to the apartment after eating at Ichiraku's." Naruto shifted around in his seat, "Then two guys came out of one of the bars and chased me into the alley, yelling 'demon brat' and other things."
Hiruzen's face twitched ever so slightly, "Go on."
"I.. I panicked, Jiji. I-I did one of the handseals Iruka-sensei showed us in his class." Naruto curled into a little ball, his knees coming up to his face. "A-and the-."
Hiruzen places a hand on his shoulder, there were tears falling down Naruto's face; He sniffed loudly.
"Naruto, you have been though a lot tonight. I already know the rest." Naruto looks up at him surprised, "Kakashi told me what happened, I will not punish you for it."
Naruto looks at the Hokage.
"However," Hiruzen continued, "I wish to see you in my office tomorrow morning."
Naruto nods in understanding, giving a fox-like grin, "You can bet on it Jiji, dattebayo."
The Sandaime Hokage gets up from the couch and turns to Kakashi, "Kakashi-san, Find Kurenai and inform her that the report can wait until tomorrow morning."
"Hai, Hokage-sama." Kakashi makes a handsign, a puff of smoke appears. When the smoke fades Kakashi is no longer there; Naruto looks slightly confused about what just happened.
"Jiji?"
"Hm?" Hiruzen turns back towards Naruto.
"What did I do, I've never been able to do something like that before.."
Hiruzen sighs "Naruto, how old are to now?"
Naruto looks at the Hokage, "Five, why?"
Hiruzen smiles, and then walks towards the door, "Come to my office tomorrow afternoon and I'll explain."
Naruto nods slowly, Hiruzen closes the door behind himself. 'What is going on..?' Thought Naruto.
