KyuubiSagemode: This story will be a NaruHina fic. It's my first story, so reviews would be very appreciated.
It was a sad day for Konoha: the Kyuubi had just destroyed a good portion of the village and took the Fourth Hokage with it. Sarutobi Hiruzen looked down at the infant in his arms, the seal used to contain the Kyuubi still showing on his stomach.
An Anbu member dropped down next to Sarutobi.
"Sir, the council has called a meeting to decide a plan for the future."
Sarutobi sighed. "Tell them I will be there soon."
As the Anbu left, Sarutobi looked once more at the infant, contemplating his fate. The Fourth Hokage had wanted the village to see him as a hero and someone to look after him after his parents' deaths. Sarutobi would look after the boy, but he was sure the council would want him to come out of retirement and become Hokage again, and he just wouldn't have time to look after the boy. Sarutobi was also worried what the council would decide to do with the boy. Villages always treat Jinchuurikis harshly, and Sarutobi feared that the council wouldn't look at the boy as the hero that saved the Leaf, but rather as a symbol of the demon that killed their friends and loved ones.
With those thoughts still lingering in his head, Sarutobi leaped off towards the council meeting.
"Ah, Sarutobi-San, we have been expecting you. Who is that child?" said one of the civilian council members. The civilian council was usually made of plump, aged men who looked to assert their superiority, and this man was no different.
"That does not matter right now; we need to pick a new Hokage first," interrupted Tsume, the council representative and head of the Inuzuka clan. "We have already discussed it, and we feel that you're the best person for the job."
Sarutobi took deep sigh. "Couldn't you find someone else? I have already had my turn at running the village."
Shikaku Nara, the head of the Nara clan known for their intellect, took that moment to speak up. "There is no one else. Jiraiya's still out of the village and so is Tsunade. None of the other ninja's have the ability to lead or defend the Leaf."
The other council members nodded at the Nara's logic and voiced their opinion that Sarutobi should be the Hokage.
"Alright, I'll do it."
The council members smiled: the future of the village seemed to be in good hands. The cries of the momentarily forgotten baby reminded everyone of the other issue.
Shikaku spoke up once again. "Sarutobi-san, I know the answer is going to be troublesome, but why do you have a baby in your arms?"
"This is the son of the Yondaime Hokage. This baby is the reason we are all still alive. The Yondaime sacrificed himself to seal the Nine-Tailed Fox into his own son. His only wishes were that someone would look after him and that he would be treated as a hero. I am unable to look after him now that I am Hokage again, so would any of you take the boy."
Most of the civilian council members looked at the infant in fear.
"He is the Kyuubi. We should kill him immediately."
Sarutobi looked on in horror as most of the council started agreeing with the statement.
"No, he is not the Kyuubi, he is the hero of Konoha ."
However, his statement went unnoticed as most of the council started calling for the boy's death.
"Kill the demon!"
"Kill the Kyuubi!"
Hiashi Hyuag just sat in his seat contemplating his options. He was good friends with the Yondaime Hokage, and the addition of a jinchuuriki into the Hyuga clan would make them more powerful.
"Stop!" Hiashi's voice rang out, silencing the room. "I will take in the boy. From now on he is a Hyuga and is under the protection of the Hyuga clan."
Some protests were shouted out by some civilian members, but were quickly silenced by the cold glare of Hiashi. Hiashi then walked down to meet Sarutobi and the two walked out the room together.
"Thank you Hiashi."
"No thanks is necessary, Sarutobi-san. As a friend to Minato, it was my duty to look after the boy."
Sarutobi nodded and handed over the boy to Hiashi.
"There are some things I have to tell you. The boy's heritage will be kept a secret in order to protect him from his father's enemies, and I will be passing a law forbidding the spread of the knowledge that the boy is the jailor of the Kyuubi. This means that the boy must not be told of this either, at least not until the time is right. If the seal starts acting up, contact me immediately, and I will send for Jiraiya to come look at it."
Hiashi nodded and started to walk away with the young boy before stopping and looking back.
"Oh, what is his name?"
"Naruto."
That was the first chapter of the story. I expect it to be pretty long in length and once again there will be NaruHina in later chapters. Reviews are very welcome, once again, because this is my first story.
