Chapter 1
Goodbye and Goodnight Naruto
- 9:30 P.M Night Time-
A five year old little blond, Uzumaki Naruto, is running for his life from the angry villagers, yet again, and now he is trap between at the end of an old alley. He backs-up, keeping his eyes on the villagers, that where spouting death threats. Sweat gathered on his forehead and panic started. The blonds back finally reach the end of the alley, 'crap,' he said to himself and seeing evil smirks coming from some of the jounin's, who hated the poor kid.
"P-please don't...kil-" He was cut off when the young boy was thrown to the wall. It knot the breath out of the small boy coughing, shivering and starting to curl up in a ball.
"Your DEAD demon BRAT!" one of The Jounin's in the mob said evilly. As they got closer and closer to the little boy, making the blond back up closer to the end of the wall, while some of the Jounin's where preparing to slice their final kill tonight, but no one saw a dark figure watching this act with rage in his eyes. The Figure disappeared from its post and formed in front of the mob. It to step in before the little boy got impaled (like a pin cushion), and deflect the kunais with the beings hands. The figure wore nothing more then a black hooded cloak, with two black leather straps on the ends of the arms, black fingerless gloves with armor plating on top, black combat pants and army boots. And around his waist holds two Zenboto swords in black hilts. Everyone froze, not understanding what had happen.
"Sorry, but I cannot let you do this, to this boy." The figure said in a monotone witch scared some of the villagers and made them pass out with no killing intent in the air. The jounin had fear in their faces and couldn't move in fear of their own death. The figure stared at him for a brisk second, "You humans have no right doing this, to a Mir child let alone this child. She of all people will not be happy that you humans did this to this child." The Figure said in another icy monotone.
The figure then turned around to see the five year old who looked fearful and shaking, "P-ple-asse...do-n't k-kill...m-e," said a desperate Naruto, starting to tear up for no apparent reason. The figure felt a little guilty that 'he' was scaring the 'child' and knelt down to be eye to eye with the small boy. "Naruto, lets go to a more safer and quite area to talk, k." He said softly and calm for the boy to think about and nodded. The figure smiled under his hood and only the boy saw it.
"Okay" little Naruto said as the man was picking up the boy gently "Hold on, Naruto." and they shun-shin to an empty park. The hood man sat the boy on one of the benches and the stranger sat next to him. The boy didn't know what to do
"Ummm...t-thank...you mis-" the young boy was surprise that the stranger hug him. "F-finally I, finally found you...my son..." The man said in a whisper chock-sob, and the boy was frozen. 'm-my Otousan?' The young blond said to himself.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry that we left you, Naruto..." The man said in tears now and feeling a small tight squeeze from the blond "T-tou-san...I...want to go...home..." Naruto said now in tears and the man stop crying for a second to see the young blond and smiled "Okay, wait until you see your Okaa-san, and her cooking, heehee" Naruto stop crying and widen his eyes, that his Okaa-san was alive, too.
"Okaa-san...sniff...can cook?" The man laugh at that question but knew it was true that Naruto didn't know the what a mother's cooking was.
"Yes, and she is waiting for the both of us, do you want to see her...She and I have missed you very much." The boy's eyes widen and nodded eager to go, but then frown a little, "Tou-san...what about ojii-san? He will be mad at me if I didn't tell him where I am going?"
The man smiled and nodded in understanding, "Okay, Naru-chan, lets go to see the Hokage to say goodbye, plus I need to talk to him about something too." The young blond didn't understand what he meant and brushed it off, nodding and grabbing his Tou-san's hand. The older man shun-shin to the Hokage's office.
- Hokage Office-
Sarutobi Hiruzen sat in silence doing nothing but paperwork on a moonless night. He side and worry for a certain blond boy he left at the ramen bar just a few hours ago. He knew he should had taken the boy home, only if the ANBU hadn't asked him to go back to office to do his duty and not waist time. Annoyingly he nodded to the ANBU and said his goodbyes to the Ichiraku people and the young boy.
Suddenly hearing a shun-shin coming into his office, he looked up and was surprise to see who it was. "N-Naruto?"
"Ohaiyo ojii-san" Naruto said happily.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was happy that Naruto was okay, but the hooded stranger besides him made him nervous, "Naruto?...Who is this...?" The old man said a little hesitation in his voice. The blond looked up to the said man and grinned, "Oh this, This is my O-" "Thats all right, Naruto...I'll tell Sarutobi Hiruzen, who I am. Why don't you sit on the sofa over they're so I can talk to the Hokage, okay." The man said smiling and getting a happy nodded from the little blond. Sarutobi eyes widen and paled at the same time to, the voice was undeniable, he knew who this person was.
"H-how are you s-still...alive, Min-ato?" Hiruzen said paling in the face and getting paler by the second. The said blond, Minato, took off his hood and the smile he had, had fallen from his face. He was sad that his wish was not meant and what's nothing more of this village cruelty. "Sarutobi...I'm not happy...And she's not happy ether...I'm going to take him for a while, until he gets older and decides what he wants to do in life afterwards...…" Minato said staring at the Third with some killer intent, but not strong enough to be sensed by anyone else.
Sarutobi didn't know what to say, he was happy, sad, a little fearful that Minato is still alive, but their was something wrong with this picture and he narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?" Sarutobi was no fool, and this man cannot be Minato. The apposed man mutely smiled but change it to sadness. "You are right and not at the same time...Yes, I am Minato, but not as well...The night of the Kyuubi attack change some things and my point of view on other things..."
"What do you mean, Minato?" The third asked, not understanding what he meant.
"...The night of the attack Kyuubi's yen part and I fused in the Shinigami's stomach and made me a new body...Kushina had something similar to her, but unfortunately she doesn't like telling things when she doesn't want too." Minato said a little annoyed, The third chuckle, knowing that Kushina can the queen of stubbornness when she want's too. "Where are you going then?" Sarutobi asked and Minato smiled evilly "I'll let Naruto tell you when he gets back and will see each other then, okay." The older blond said and nothing more. The old monkey nodded, but needed to ask, "Can I have a request at least? Minato?" The said blond nodded "…Can Naruto come back for the last week for the Gennin test…then on the Chunnin he can decide where or what he can do in life?" The old man said in a grandfather way. Minato thought about this for a few minutes of silence. He then nodded in the request when he took a glaz at his son nodding himself asleep, witch Sarutobi nodded happily with.
"Naruto, its time to get going." The said little blond rubbed his eyes and not knowing when he feel asleep at the first place. He looked at the person who spoked "Tou-san...already...But I'm sleepily…Tou-san" Naruto said sleepily and rubbing his right eye. He got a chuckle from the two older men in the room, unknowing what the little boy said from the sleepiness. "Yes, I know your tired and I bet Kaa-san want's you in bed right now, too, but we need to get there first so we can put you to bed, but before we go home do you want to say goodbye to jiji?" Seeing a nod from a little blond and got up, still rubbing his little eyes from the sleepiness. The little blond gave the third a hug and said goodnight. The Third gave Naruto the hug back and said a goodnight, with a good luck in their too.
They then vanish in a swirl of leaves, unknown to anyone excepte the Third that the blond container disappear from Konoha. The Third notice a small scroll on his desk. It say's-For Sarutobi Hiruzen-on it.
-Sarutobi-
I know you are wanting to ask a lot of questions…but not right now. Kushina and I agree that it will be too soon for anyone to understand… He'll return when he turn's 12 years of age. Naruto will learn everything there is to know and more…if you ask him and if he trust anyone with this information. Please don't say anything to the consul or 'Danzo'. I 'Know' that they will take advantage of this and 'or' will do an all out man hunt for my son. If they figure out that my son is missing, tell them that he has died in the last mob hunt. That way he won't be listed as a missing Nin, though he's still a civilian, or hunted down to be (A.) Killed or (B.) be a mindless ROOT ANBU…(hint, hint)
I don't know what will happen, but when the time comes…the world will need to be united and a 'HERO' will need to rise.
-Minato-
P.S. I know that you always despised me, for getting my work done and I'll tell you on a little secret I came across when I was younger. The secret of killing that certain enemy for all Hokage's, is a certain Jutsu that 'copies' one's self. Hee, hee. Hope that help you for the next couple of years with all the useless paper work old man, but I'll need your help later with other things when the time comes… See you later, old man…(=^_^=) ;P
Sarutobi understood why Minato wants to protect Naruto, but….(silence and a ominous cold wind) "WHY THE HELLL DIDN't YOU TELLLL ME THIS SOONER!" the old Third shouted in rage out of his office. Scaring nearly everyone in a ten mile radius and waking his ANBU guards up for the Jutsu Minato place on them. The Third notice that his personal ANBU were frozen in time when he and Naruto were here, and wonder when he did it, but thought nothing of it…for now. With a sigh he at looked the moonless night wondering what the future will bring.
A/N: Tell Me what you think! Not sure if I want to continue this one? If you want me to PLZZZZZ give me some Ideas for it. Love you all ^_^
