In the Vastness of Outer Space:

The ship of legend falls through space, surrounded by green asteroids. Inside the small vessel is the last son of Krypton. Kal El sleeps peacefully with his red blanket wrapped around him.

A long shard of Kryptonite collides with the small silver ship. Sparks fly across its surface as its course is altered. Lights blink on inside the tiny cockpit as the computers assess the damages.

Giggling quietly as all babies do, Kal El reaches at the lights, several of the lights blinking out as he presses them.

"New coordinates set," the computer informs him pleasantly. The computer shifts more off course and jumps into hyperspace with a healthy portion of the asteroids getting caught in the hyperspace window and vanishing.

The asteroids break into smaller pieces at the neck break speed they are hurling through hyperspace around the small Kryptonian lifeboat.

Several days later, the ship drops out of hyperspace with the remains of Krypton. The planet that it is orbiting resembles Earth. "Scanning surface for largest power source and sign of civilization," the computer says politely. "Scan complete. Landing mode, initiated." The ship dives into the atmosphere, the asteroids right behind it.

In Konoha:

Ninja limp home from the battle with the Kyuubi. They stare up into the sky at the beautiful, extremely rare meteor shower. "Make a wish," mumbles a man as he sits near the bathhouse with a telescope, for once looking at the sky instead of the washing ladies. He sighs deeply and turns back to the bathhouse with a tired, yet perverted chuckle.

At the Hokage Tower, Sarutobi sits at his desk as he stares at the portrait of the Fourth Hokage sadly. He looks down at the baby in his arms and mutters, "The last son of the Yondaime, I wonder how the village will react to your heroism."

Anbu burst through the door and shout, "Lord Hokage, get down!" A moment later, a red hot object the size of a piano crashes through the roof.

He quickly places Naruto onto his chair and forms handsigns. "Earth Style: Mud Wall!" A thick wall of mud rises from the floor. The glowing red object stops a few inches from Sarutobi's face and he can feel its heat. He takes a step back and picks Naruto back up.

The Anbu say hurriedly, "Lord Hokage, are you okay?"

Sarutobi steps out from behind the mud wall and waves to them. "Yes, I am fine. Go back to your posts." They stare at the strange looking meteor but obey his order. Sarutobi takes the pipe out of his mouth and pokes the ship with it. He hears a thunk on contact and places it back in his mouth.

The Third Hokage cautiously places his hand on this ship and feels that it is already cool, despite its recent atmospheric reentry. A small symbol stands out to him. He frowns and holds Naruto closer to his chest.

The old man reaches out and touches the symbol, causing the ship to open up to reveal the giggling Kal El. Sarutobi lifts the boy out of the cockpit and holds a baby on each arm. He sighs, "This is going to be troublesome to explain to the council."

"Sir!" an Anbu says as he appears in a swirl of leaves. "Rocks from the latest meteor shower have struck the Council Building! Only the Hyuga, Aburame, Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi, and Inuzuka clan heads survived! Your former teammates, Danzo and the civilian council were killed."

Sarutobi is saddened by the news of his teammates but suddenly smiles. He looks down at the two boys, "That just made my job a lot easier!"

He hands the two babies to the Anbu, who just holds them awkwardly, not sure what to do with them. The Third rolls out a large storage scroll and seals the ship into it. He places it into the Hokage personal scroll cabinet. "Thank you, Anbu," he says with a smile as he takes the babies back, much to the Anbu's relief. The ninja disappears before the Hokage can stick him with any more awkward tasks.

Sarutobi hums as he walks out of the Hokage tower towards the makeshift council building to meet with the remaining council.

The meeting begins and Sarutobi shows the baby boys to the council. "The blonde is the son of the Yondaime and is the container of Kyuubi the Nine Tailed Fox. The black haired one is an orphan that arrived unexpectedly in the village."

"From where," Shikaku Nara inquires idly.

Sarutobi thinks about it and finally answers, "The stars." The council stares at him in disbelief. "In fact, he came in a strange silver vessel. It made a hole in the Hokage Tower and landed on my desk. I had to form a mud wall to stop it from hitting me." The council keeps staring at him.

"Are you joking, Hokage Sarutobi?" asks Tsume Inuzuka in disbelief.

He leans back in his chair and steeples his fingers, "No, I am not. But, if one clan were to make an adoption of said child, it would only be fair that they both be adopted, since they are both orphans."

"We would like to, but we can't," Tsume says with a dark frown. "The clan's ninja dogs would smell the fox on the boy and attack him."

The Aburame representative nods in agreement and murmurs quietly, "Our clan's insects would behave similarly."

"That leaves the Yamanaka, Akimichi, Hyuga, and Nara," Sarutobi says cheerfully.

Hiashi stares at the other remaining clan heads. He turns back to the Hokage and states, "Would you consider a joint adoption of the four clans?" Sarutobi looks to the others.

Nara shrugs and replies, "This is going to be a drag, but, fine."

"We will do it," says the Akimichi clan head solemnly.

Hiashi bows to them politely and returns his piercing gaze to the Hokage. "Hokage Sarutobi, tomorrow we will discuss all that this entails."

"Of course," Sarutobi smirks. The clan heads leave to their clan districts, leaving behind a satisfied Hokage and two sleeping babies.
