THE FOUR
CHAPTER 1
In a small room hidden in the Hokage tower sat a group of men. One was the head of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku Uchiha; next to him was the head of the Hyuuga clan, Hiashi Hyuuga, along with his brother Hizashi Hyuuga. Next to them was Gai Maito, along with Kakashi Hatake. Sitting at the head of the table, was the recently inducted fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze. Minato stood too speak. "The reason I have called you all here today is because I have recently been through the hospital files, to check on pregnancies and births." Minato looked around, "From what I have discovered, we will be able to train and create the Four again. For the first time in about 40 yrs, the four clansmen needed for this will be all of the same age, give or take a year."
Kakashi raised his hand to speak, Minato nodded to him. "May I ask the names of these children?" asked Kakashi.
Minato looked down as his papers, "Sasuke Uchiha, born just a couple months ago, Neji Hyuuga, born just last year, Rock Lee, very distantly related to you Gai, he was born last year but was abandoned, I would appreciate it if you would adopt him, seeing as he does carry your bloodline, and finally, only you in this room are going to be aware of this fact, Kushina will soon be giving birth to our first born child, Naruto Namikaze, I don't know whether he will have my bloodline or not, but he does have Kushina's."
"Why am I hear then sensei?" asked Kakashi.
"You are hear at my request Kakashi," said Fugaku, "There is a rumor that my little brother Obito is still alive, I am going on a secret mission to try and find him, Mikoto as asked," Fugaku smiled a little, "excuse me demanded to come along, I will need you here to watch and possibly train Sasuke, and try and keep Itachi from losing his humanity, seeing as how the Uchiha council has decided to take him under his wing."
"Before you even ask Kakashi," started Minato, "Fugaku has already decided it will be him and his wife only on this mission, I cannot allow you to go with them."
Kakashi looked like he about to speak but suddenly changed his mind and nodded his understanding. Who was he to argue with Obito's own brother?
"OK, that ends this meeting, we will talk of this again when the children have become gennins." said Minato, "Hiashi, I believe you wanted to speak to me about something?"
Hiashi nodded and waited for everyone else to leave the room. "As you are probably already aware, my wife will give birth to our first child in about 2 to 3 months, we have
discovered it is going to be a girl, we would like to arrange a marriage between your son and my daughter."
Minato looked at, I like the idea, but I still have to clear it with my wife, why don't the two of you stop by for dinner later tonight so all four of us can discuss this."
"My wife and I would be happy to join you for dinner." said Hiashi.
TIME SKIP 10 DAYS AFTER MEETING (OCT. 10,)
"Try to hold it off until the Fourth gets here." Called out a random ninja. They had been fighting for the better part of the day. Suddenly their was a large puff of smoke and the ninjas turned to see, Gamabunta, the toad boss with the Fourth Hokage standing on his head and holding something wrapped in a blanket in his arms. Minato took in the situation and decided he had no choice; this is the only way he could save his village. He looked down at his 30 min old son and felt tears in his eyes. He placed Naruto down on Gamabuntas head and began the hand signs for the reaper death seal.
While performing the hand signs he started to vocally state the deal" Seal this beast into my son so that it may never harm anybody again," with the last of his strength as the hand signs were nearly complete he stated in small whisper, "and keep my son safe." The hand signs were completed and technique took over forcing him to shout, "REAPER DEATH SEAL."
The death god made his appearance and stated, "The deal is accepted". With that, the death god pushed his hand through Naruto and grabbed the Kyuubi, and pulled him into Naruto's body. "Seal" he called out and a seal appeared on Naruto's stomach. Then he ripped out Minato's soul and ate it. Minato fell dead on Gamabuntas head.
Gamabunta made a weird sound and a six foot toad appeared in front of him. "Find Jiraiya and bring him to me, and I mean yesterday!" The toad nodded and disappeared.
Just as the toad left, the Third Hokage came running up. When he got to Gamabunta, he stopped and bowed. "Greetings Gamabunta, Boss of the toads." Gamabunta nodded his head slightly and used his tongue to lift Minato and Naruto off his head and put them down in front of the Third. The next instant, that same six foot toad appeared with Jiraiya on his back.
"What the hell happened here?" asked Jiraiya
"The Nine tailed fox attacked," said Sarutobi.
"If you had been here Jiraiya, instead of doing your stupid research, you might have been able to find a different way to defeat, instead, you have lost your student, and this child has lost his father." Said Gamabunta.
"Jiraiya, I need you to do a special mission for me," said Sarutobi, "find Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha, they should be somewhere in the lightning country, tell them what has happened and help them complete there mission."
"Yes sensei." said Jiraiya, and with that he took off.
"Now to deal with the council" said Sarutobi.
Time Skip 3 hours later
"We should kill the demon," said one of ninja councilman. Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of the village hidden in the leaves sat in the council room with the ninja council, the village council and the village advisers, along with the village clan heads.
"I thought you were a ninja," said Shikaku Nara.
"What's that supposed to mean," asked the councilman.
"Well, a real ninja would know the difference between a scroll and the item sealed into." said Shikaku.
"Not to mention," Added Hiashi, "the fact that the sealing was done by the Fourth Hokage himself." Hiashi glared at the councilman, "Do you have no faith in him that he knew what he was doing?"
"The child will not be killed," said Sarutobi.
The village council and some others started to object, "THIS DECISION IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE!" yelled Sarutobi.
"I am aware that some of you took it upon yourselves to tell the village what happened, however I am making it a triple s class secret, they are not to talk about period, on pain of death." Sarutobi sighed, "I want him to have a normal childhood until it's time for him to go to the academy, for now he shall use his mothers name until he is able to defend himself."
3 Hours Later at the orphanage.
Two members of ANBU Root walk up to the crib where Naruto lays sleeping. "Do you have the scroll?" asked one
"Right here" said the other.
"Why don't we just kill it," asked the first one.
"First of all, idiot, he is the container, not the demon. Don't tell me you're no better than an ignorant villager." The first one turned away in embarrassment. "Plus," continued the
second, "if we kill him now, it may release the demon, these seals we are putting on him will slow down all growth and development, and he will never be a ninja!"
A/N-Tell me what you think.
