This is going to be my first fanfic, so be kind not really say whatever the hell you want :L

I can't promise updates are anything you know with school coming up again but I will try and do at least 1 chapter a week :B

Please Review, also if you have any ideas for some of the missions Naruto should carry out when he finally goes out to war please feel free to share them.

I don't own Naruto.

Naruto: Selected

Sarutobi sighed as he looked down at the map before him "And all this information is coming in real time?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama it looks like…."

"I know what it looks like Inu, war for the third time in my lifetime war. Assemble the Council I don't care what they are doing the will drop it and come. Understood?" Ordered the aged shinobi

"Yes, Hokage-sama!" The Dog faced figure quickly vanished

"Crow, Tora!" Sarutobi shouted as he began scribbling on a piece of parchment

"Yes Hokage-sama!" Two ANBU said in unison

"Take this letter" Sarutobi said while stamping the Hokage seal on the bottom of the page "Get it to the Fire Daimyo and be back here by Suns Rising!"

"Understood!" And with that the disappeared

"Peace is such a fragile thing, the cycle of Hatred that this world breeds is never ending….." Mused the ever aging Hokage

"Sensei….. It is good to see you again there are things we must speak about with what is about to happen and all you know what they will expect from him…." A voice spoke

"Yes Jiraiya… Naruto only started the Academy 3 months ago he will be expected….." Sarutobi cringed and cleared his throat " Naruto will be expected to become this villages weapon… a kunai if you will that will always be poised to slit the enemies throat" he said in a forced tone " It is not something that I will like I assure you!"

"It is not something that either of us want to happen" Jiraiya spoke "But I understand that it will not just be him that will be put through much this war is shaping up to be far more deadlier than the last, I trust that War Powers Act, Article 17 will be put in place meaning that the Academy will begin speed training and all babying will be tossed out the window meaning that he will be ready with 6-7 months…. I request permission to ready him and be the one who informs him of his burden"

"Yes, I think that would be the wisest course of action we have available to us by the time he is ready for the field the war will already be in full swing…. There is however one thing you have to do before you do this" Sarutobi finished

Jiraiya knew what that thing was right away "Am I to understand that War Powers Act, Article 67 will be in play?"

"Yes, tell her so can leave after the war but until then she must return or well you know we would have to kill her and that is not something that I want to happen and I'm sure either do you" Sarutobi said while reaching out and receiving a message that had just come from a messenger bird.

"I understand Sensei I will leave now and be back within 6 days" Jiraiya said as he turned to jump out the window

"Jiraiya" Sarutobi said as his student turned around "The first blow has been struck Kumo is currently under full assault from well… for now we shall call them the Alliance but with Iwa and Kiri as well as some of the other small countries attacking them we are safe for now you are to be back within 3 days do I make myself clear!?"

"Yes Sensei I will be back before you know it" Jiraiya said as he jumped out the window

"Hokage-sama….. The Council is ready" Inu's voice echo around the room

"Come then… Kakashi we mustn't waste any time…..

With that Kakashi removed his mask and followed after his Hokage…

Council Chambers A Few Minutes Later

"Sarutobi what is the meaning of waking us up at this time of night?" Hourma asked

"I think that question should answer itself..." he replied

The room was deathly silent that could only mean one of two things either they were under attack which didn't look to be the case or that a war had started.

"As of this moment I'm invoking the War Powers Act being with the Academy speed up process…. And as for Naruto well Jiraiya is going to be training him to get him up to speed with what he needs to know"

"Why should that demon be trained!" A young Civilian Council member shouted

"The War Powers Act also means that the Civilian Council is disbanded and that this Village is now under martial law….. so if all of you would please leave" Sarutobi added

After much grumbling, complaining and moaning the Civilian side finally left the room.

"Now that we have that out of the way…. Send out messengers to all teams outside Fire Country borders and have them recalled effective immediately this Village is under Code Delta 3-4!" Sarutobi announced the Hokage then grabbed a map of the Elemental Nations from a shelf and spread it out on the table before him "Now here is what we know so far Kiri and Iwa along with at least the Waterfall and Grass have launched an all-out surprise assault on Kumo this has bought us some time I expect that the Sand even being that they are allies will try and take advantage of any weakness we show we are shinobi in times of peace there can be some friendships between the villages in times of war you have to suspect everyone and anyone if you want to survive. I have send Jiraya out to retrieve Tsunade with orders to kill or capture her if she refuses to return. Once he is back he will take Naruto and prep him for the path the even I know that has to be taking…. Shikaku begin to formulate scenario's and battle plans the rest of you prepare to be called for a mission at a moment's notice. Dismissed, Danzo you stay I would have words."

Once the room was clear Sarutobi spoke "I know that it is still active and in this case I do not care during the time that this war is on-going we shall exchange information"

"Yes in this case my old friend we will put all the differences we have aside and work to make no harm comes to this village, if you should have need of my Ne operatives services they shall be made available to you" Danzo stated blankly

"I see we can still agree on something's then my friend" Sarutobi said with a chuckle "It is only now that I am seeing that maybe you were right and Naruto should have been trained but not within your ranks I could have taught the boy myself all these years and maybe then he would have been more prepared."

"Best to not dwell in the past Hiruzen it is a regrettable mistake but this war should speed up the process of the survivors skill levels meaning that even though that no doubt are losses will be heavy at the end of it there will be at least something good to come of it" Danzo said as he got up a left after he closed the door Sarutobi sighed

"It is time I go a fetch Naruto when Jiraya comes back we shall explain it all to him but for now it would not do any harm to teach the boy at least on skill that would be useful to him"

4 Days Later Hokage's Office

"Jiraiya now that you have brought Tsunade back I think it was high time we explain to young Naruto here why he was pulled from the Academy as well as other things" Sarutobi said with a sad expression

"What do you mean Ji-ji?" Naruto asked

Sarutobi stood up "This" he inclined his head towards Jiraiya "man here is your godfather he is called Jiraiya. Now I am sure that you have lots of questions but please save them for later, This is something that was meant to be revealed to you when you were much older as you reached the Rank of Genin, some of things we are about to tell where not even supposed to be told until you made the Rank of Chunin. I'll let Jiraiya take over from here"

"Hey there gaki" Jiraiya smiled

Naruto was lost he had a godfather and the man never visited him "Why?! WHY?! WHY?!"

"Naruto" he began with a much softer tone "If I took interest in a child well one that looks like you anyway people would raise many questions but now as you know the village will be at war soon so it does not matter anymore, but I have always looked out for you from afar" he finished with a soft smile

"What do you mean *sniff* someone who looks like me? *sniff*" he said tears still flowing freely from his eyes

"Will you see I taught your father, and well he really had a lot of enemies and you look just like him with a few other features" he said running his hand over Naruto's whisker marks

"I had a daddy? *sniff* I thought my parents didn't want me *sniff* Jiraiya-ji-ji where is my daddy?" Naruto asked with a wee bit of a smile

"You see Naruto your father well… come here" Jiraiya said taking the child's small hand in his own and moving over to the window "You see the Hokage monument over there" he said pointing in its direction

Naruto nodded his head "Uhuh, I sit up there nearly every day the Fourth Hokage is my hero" he smiled

"Well Naruto" Jiraiya beamed "You see the Fourth Hokage are better known as Minato Namaizake just so happened to have a son called Naruto too"

"Really he has the same name as me? Can I meet h…. wait you mean" Naruto said connecting the dots

Jiraiya kept on smiling down at him

"The Fourth Hokage was my Tou-san?!" Naruto's tears fell anew this time tears of joy "I really have a daddy *sniff* but then I find out daddy is dead *sniff* but daddy protected the village s. .so…."

Jiraiya pulled Naruto into a hug "There, there Naruto its okay, it's okay I was wondering do you also want to hear about your mommy too? He said in a childish manner

"I had a mommy *sniff* too?" he said wiping his face on his sleeve

"Of course silly" Jiraiya said

Sarutobi couldn't help but smile it was really heart-warming to see Naruto cry to all out the boy usually put up a mask over his emotions

"Will you tell me about mommy too? Naruto asked

Jiraiya nodded and began "Your mummy was not from this village but moved here, here name Kushina Uzumaki, she was really pretty and strong she loved you too Naruto but sadly she died on the same night as your father"

Naruto couldn't help but cry heavily he was overcome with emotion overjoyed with finding out he had parents but his heart was breaking knowing he would never get the chance to meet them he just couldn't handle it anymore he collapsed

"Naruto!" Jiraiya shouted as he caught the boys fall and sat him on the seat

"He began to overcome with emotion its more than enough than anyone his each could handle" Sarutobi said "Let him rest we will fill him in on the rest when he gets up"

"Okay but what are we going to do in the mean time?" Jiraiya raised an eyebrow

"Well I think we should sit down a sort out a training schedule for young Naruto after all his is our apprentice" Sarutobi smirked

"Yea but why do that I already know where I want him to be at the end of this… wait did you just ay OUR apprentice?!" Jiraiya screamed

"Yes I did, now sit down and shut up before you wake him" Sarutobi stated jokingly

"God damn it old man never thought you would teach again" Jiraiya laughed as he took a seat

"Well" Sarutobi puffed his chest out "I did teach the 3 Legendary Sannin even if there is one I am not so proud of anymore, so i thought i try another pupil"

"Right then Jiraiya let's get too this"

A Few Hours Later

Naruto awoke to the sounded of two voices yelling at each other

"Listen here Jiraiya he is signing the monkey summoning contract! Sarutobi yelled

"No you listen you stubborn old man he is signing the toad summoning contract!" Jiraiya yelled back

Sarutobi moved forward "Why should he sign it! Everyone who has turned out to be a pervert! "

"What are you talking about? Minato wasn't a pervert! Jiriaya said also stepping forward

"Erm….." Naruto began

"Don't lie he was a closet pervert he couldn't show it because Kushina would have his head!" Sarutobi yelled

"Erm…. Jiraiya-ji-ji… Hokage-ji-ji" Naruto tried to say something

"How about this he signs the toad one now and we will see later if he should sign in the monkey contract? I'll even throw in a limited edition of my new Icha-Icha book which is not out for another 2 months?" Jiraiya said reaching into one of his pockets

"You have got yourself a deal my Student!" Sarutobi yelled grabbing the book

"HEY!" Naruto yelled "I'm here too you know!

"Oh Naruto your awake" Sarutobi said hiding his blush and the book quickly

"Finally Gaki you were out for hours! Was beginning to think you would never wake up but I suppose it is understandable begin what you just heard" Jiriaya said with a sad smile

"It's okay I feel better now, I'm happy now" he smiled a real smile

Sarutobi and Jiraiya couldn't help but grin back Naruto's smile it was infectious

"I'm afraid that's not all there is Naruto there is some stuff we never got to tell you before you conked out on us" Jiraiya said

"Really what?" Naruto couldn't help but be interested

"You see Kushina Uzumaki had a secret that was well kept even to this day only a handful of people know about it, you see she was the 2nd Jinchuuriki of the Nine-Tailed fox" Jiraiya stated

"What you mean that big bad monster that Tou-san killed?" Naruto asked "Also what's a Jinjiurji or whatever?"

"A Jinchuuriki Naruto means the power of a human sacrifice" Sarutobi said

"You see Naruto that's where in the next part of or story lies?" Jiraiya said sadly "Have you ever wondered why nearly all of the adults look at you in contempt?"

"I thought it was just because I was an orphan?" Naruto asked confused at what Jiraiya was trying to get at

"Well Naruto you see a Tailed-Beast cannot in theory be killed if there form is destroy the will reform within days, so there is only one option, Jinjuriki tailed beasts are sealed inside these people so that they can contain and control the beasts power"

"Then what did Tou-san do with it?" Naruto asked

"This next bit Naruto will probably make you angry and confused but bear with me okay?" Jiraiya asked

"Okay Jiraiya-ji-ji" Naruto smiled

"You see there is one time when a Jinjuriki seal is weak enough for the beast to break free that is during childbirth"

Naruto nodded

"So when you mother was giving birth to you it somehow escaped I still to this today suspect someone interfered Minato was the best seal master I have ever seen even better than most Uzumaki's I had ever run across for him to hold the seal close it would have been child's play"

Both Naruto and Sarutobi nodded at this

"So when the Nine-tails broke free it began to attack the village your father was left with one option seal the beast inside a new born and he couldn't ask anyone for the child if he…" Jiraiya was cut off

"He couldn't ask anyone for their child because he was the leader and if he wasn't willing to give his why should they give theirs?" Naruto stated "This means my father was left with one option seal the beast within me his own son! Naruto yelled

"Yes but he and your mother were going to die anyway he used a seal that summons the Shinigami in return of one's soul but you should know that before the sealing took place the Nine-Tails attempt to kill you the both dived in front of the attack taking the blow that was meant for you" Jiraiya finished sadly

"They loved you to the end always remember this Naruto" Sarutobi cut in

"I understand why he did it, I still love him he's my hero just because he sealed the Nine-tails inside me it is not just a burden but it was a sign of trust as if to say I know you will be able to handle this in my place" Naruto gave a big grin some tears again began to escape from his eyes

Sarutobi and Jiraiya where taken aback they had never thought of it that way in fact they doubted anyone had.

"Now Naruto everything you have heard today can be repeated to no one unless you have the expression of the Hokage and are at least classified as a High Class Jonin" Sarutobi said

"Okay ji-ji" Naruto smiled

"Now" Jiraiya began "It is time to start your training gaki you have to be ready for war in around 5 months' time so we want you to be at least Mid-Chunin level to do that were are going to have to put in a lot of work! Ready?"

"Hokage-ji-ji, Jiraiya-ji-ji I was born ready dattebeyo!" Naruto yelled

AN: Sorry if my spelling and grammar sucks was never really my strong point and never will be :L ever :L so if you see any mistakes tell me so I can fix them.
