Godparents
By Darkflash
Summary: Naruto had godparents, but the third hokage thought the two would not make good parents. So he didn't let them be his parents. But, after witnessing one of Naruto's worst beatings he thinks that Naruto needs parents in his life to help protect him.
Watch (well read) Naruto become the hero of the village.
The hokage sat in his office. 'They are not ready to take care of a child. They both are too young. Also, the fact that he doesn't show much emotion will not be good for the little one.' The old man sighed, 'But they are stubborn. I know that this excuse won't be good enough for them. I have to come up with something good.'
Sarutobi sat and looked down at the sleeping figure of baby Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. "In till you are a strong ninja your name will be Naruto Uzumaki. That way you won't have many ninja from other villages coming to kill you."
Little did he know that the real protection he will need will be from the people of his own village.
Time skip- 5 years later
A small boy by the name of Naruto Uzumaki ran from a large mob for the 8th time today on his birthday.
Naruto ran as fast as his tiny legs would take him. Suddenly, he tripped. 'Oh no!' he thought.
The villagers caught up to him and took advantage of the fact the he was on the ground.
"Come here you demon!"
"We are going to finish what the fourth started"
"A demon like you doesn't deserve to live"
Those were some of the comments the villagers yelled as the beat the young boy. They kicked him, beat him with sticks and clubs, the stabbed him with kunai and pitchforks and did other terrible things.
After 30 minutes the anbu showed up and the mob scattered.
"Cat, bear, you two go capture all the villagers involved and bring them to Ibiki. I'll bring the kid to the hospital." Dog said
"Yes sir." the other two anbu said and ran off.
At the hospital with the hokage
"Thank you for informing me Kakashi." The hokage said looking down at the young boy on the bed with shame. 'How could those villagers attack the poor little boy? I screwed up. This boy needs parents.' He sighed.
"Lord Hokage, with permission I would like to stay here till the boy wakes up. I want to make sure he is okay." Kakashi asked
"Permission granted Kakashi, but take your mask off (the anbu mask). I want the boy to know someone is there for him." Sarutobi smiled.
"Yes sir."
Later that night
The hokage, Kakashi, and Naruto sat in Naruto's hospital room.
"Naruto this is Kakashi. He is the one who saved you." The hokage said
"Hi Naruto, how are you?" Kakashi curved his eye in a smile.
Naruto looked up. His eyes sparkled with sadness, "Why did you save me? Why couldn't you just leave me there to die?"
"Naruto!" the hokage gasped and even Kakashi's eyes widened in surprise.
"What? Everyone else hates me. It would be better if I just died. I mean even my own parents hated me." Naruto yelled releasing all his anger.
"Naruto how could you say that. Your parents didn't hate you." Sarutobi said.
"Oh yeah, then why did they leave me alone with nothing. They had to have some money or property that they could have left me. I mean if they loved me why would they let the fourth hokage seal the nine tailed fox inside me?" Naruto shouted.
"Naruto, how did you find out?" the third asked sadly.
"I am not stupid. All the villagers are screaming 'you demon' this or 'you demon' that." Naruto said, "I mean my birthday is the day the nine tailed fox attacked our village. It wasn't that hard with all those hints."
"I am so sorry." The hokage said. Kakashi was starting to tear up at the little boy's story.
"Don't be." Naruto said coldly
"No, Naruto I know who your parents are. I kept it from you to keep you safe because your father made a lot of enemies. But, instead of helping you I made it worse." He said ashamed and hoping that the little boy could in some way could forgive him.
"Will you tell me?" Naruto asked
"Yes, Kakashi please use a privacy jutsu." The hokage asked
"Hai," Kakashi said going through some hand signs.
"Thank you," the old man said, "Naruto your mom died in child birth and your dad died a hero of the village. Your mom was Kushina Namikaze and your dad was Minato Namikaze, the fourth hokage."
Both Naruto and Kakashi's eyes widened. Naruto's from shock, but Kakashi's from anger.
"What!" came the loud yelled of Kakashi as he nearly broke the silencing jutsu he placed on the room.
"Ehehehe...Damn" mumbled the 3rd as he backed away from he scarecrow.
"You! YOU! How could you!" yelled the scarecrow as he crept foward.
"Calm down!" yelled the Hokage.
"You told me he died! You told me he was killed in the accident! You lied to me!" yelled Kakashi as he broke his usual calm behavior.
"Enough! I know that you are supposed to be his godfather and that Rin was supposed to his godmother. Calm down okay?" the professor stated
"Why?"
"Because I felt you and Rin were too young to raise a child."
"Wait," Naruto interrupted, "So my parents did leave me a family and some things." Naruto asked
"Yes Naruto, I was planning on telling you when you were older, but it seems that that wasn't meant to be." The hokage said
Find out next time – what Naruto will get if the council lets him have it and if Rin accepts to being his mother.
