Two figures stood in front of the only orphanage in Konoha. Cloaks obscured their figures, though it was still easy to see the incredible bust size of the taller figure and the short dark hair of the unhooded second figure.

The shorter one held a pink pig, while the other held a wrapped bundle.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I can't stay here" The taller figure said clutching the wrapped bundle closer to her chest.

I'm sorry" she said, addressing the bundle, while peeling back the cloth to reveal sunkissed blonde hair and bright blue eyes.

I'll visit every year" reaching into her cloak, she pulled out a letter and tucked it into the babies wrappings.

I love you" pulling down her hood she pressed her lips to the babies forehead while he cooed nonsense.

Placing him on the floor, she turned, her long blonde pig tails floating behind her. Pulling up her hood she whispered

"Goodbye Minato"

Time Skip October 10th

Day of the Kyuubi attack

"What do you mean I can't care for him!" a certain blonde haired sannin screeched, slamming her fist into the table. Luckily the table was reinforced, so it only cracked lightly at the impact.

"Tsunade" The old Hokage flinched at the glare he was receiving from his blonde pupil.

"He's my grandchild!"

"But no one knows that"

The blonde powerhouse flinched at the reminder. All the anger seemed to flow out of her and she dropped into a chair.

"I know" she placed her head in her hands. she looked up and the Hokage's heart squeezed, tears were floating in her brown eyes.

" I just want to care for him like I wanted to for Minato."

It hurt to see his normally strong student like this, and although they both knew Minato never blamed her for not being there and that he loved her, it still hurt her to think of her bad parenting.

" The villagers don't know that Minato was your son and they won't know that Naruto is his."

Both turned to face the small bundle resting in the makeshift crib that was the upturned Hokage hat. The baby cooed and reached for the elders, a toothless smile on his face, blissfully unaware of the battle that had just ended and his fate. Tsunade's face softened as she let the baby grip her fingers.

'he looks so much like him' she looked at the small bit of blonde fluff atop his head and his sparkling blue eyes before looking at the three whisker marks that graced each cheek.

As the third Hokage watched his student stare at her grandchild he was suddenly struck with an idea crazy enough and brilliant enough to be worthy of Minato himself.

" What if" he said fixing the last bit of detail in his head "he lives in the orphanage until he can live alone and have his own apartment." Pausing, he looked at his blonde student, who had turned to face him despite the baby attempting to eat her fingers.

"and?" she asked, waiting for him to continue, because if this was it then obviously her sensei wasn't as smart as everyone gave him credit for.

" and he'll only use it as a cover during the day, at night he can return to you."

"... that just might work" Tsunade said reluctantly. She knew she couldn't care for him full time, people would ask questions, and those questions can't be answered without explaining her relationship with Minato and his with Naruto. And kami knew how many people would go after him then! This way at least she got to see him and keep an eye on him.

"Yes, fine" she claimed sounding determined. She might not of been able to care for Minato, but damn it, she would care for Naruto if it was the last thing she did!

"Good" Sarutobi smiled, "now go, your grandfathers home is still located outside the north walls and Jiraiya will be returning from clean up duty soon."

"Thank you sensei" with that she shunshined away to find shizune and move to their new home.

"Well Naruto" the old Hokage said facing the baby "your life is certainly going to be interesting."

Flopping down into a chair Sarutobi removed the silencing jutsus from his office

'Kami why did I take this job!'
