1Chapter 1 (Naruto meets JL)
Title: Dr. Fate's surprise
*Fate's POV*
It was a normal day in my home, with my wife of two years. We were both happy and content with each other and never let it be said that we didn't show each other our love. But there were times I could tell my wife longed for a little child of our own. Sadly an enemy of mine made it possible that my wife and I never conceive a child together. It broke my wife's heart to know that we would never have a child of our own. So for two years I have been researching a way to remove that horrible curse so I could make my wife happy and finally have a child of our own. Sadly all of my efforts have been met with failure. But everything changed one night in October during one of the nastiest storms that year. I was on my way to my study to look up different plants and flowers for my wife's garden when I suddenly felt the presence of a demonic energy.
"My love what is going on? What is that surge of power that I feel?" Inza my wife of two years rushes into my study.
"Inza darling I don't know but I'm going to find out. Be prepared for anything upon my return. Don't worry love I promise I will come back in one piece." With that said I opened a portal that would take me to the demonic energy.
When I arrived to where the energy was strongest, I was surprised by my surroundings. I was in a gigantic forest filled with trees as far as the eye can see. But in the distance I heard what to be a great battle. When I reached a clearing I found the demonic energy. It was the Nine-tailed fox demon, creating mayhem and destruction and destroying the lives of any who stood in his way. I was about to put a spell on the fox when out of no where a man on top of a giant toad came and in a flash of bright light both the man and the demon were gone. But then I noticed two men surrounding something small on the ground and lift it up with gentle hands and race back to the village. I followed from the sky to a building that looked like it was part of the mountain. I preformed a concealment spell that hid myself from them as I listened in on the conversation.
"You can't be serious!!!! Kill the child are you mad!!!! He's only a baby, what harm could he do to the village, Danzo!!!?!?!?!" as I listened I noticed that the woman shouting was holding what looked like to be a newborn child and held on to the infant as if the man she was yelling at would harm the child just by looking at it.
"Its only a matter of time before the fox decides to destroy us all, I say we end its life right here and now!!!!" many of the people in the room seem to agree with the man named Danzo. It took every ounce of self control I had not to preform a fireball spell on him. The thought that a man like him would actually think of killing a child sickened me.
"Danzo, the fourth did not want his son to be viewed as a monster but a hero, and the child is merely the container for the beast, not the beast himself. So please refrain from trying anything that would-," YOU MEAN YOU WANT TO KEEP THAT MONSTER IN THIS VILLAGE?? SARATOBI YOU ARE TRULY-," "In my opinion the only one that is the monster in this room is you. For only monsters kill innocent children" I couldn't stand to listen to this man a moment longer decided to make myself known, not for my sake but for the sake of the child.
"Who are you and how did you get in the village"a man with long white hair with red markings on his face and looked like he had a giant scroll on his back spoke up and stood next to the woman hold the small sleeping infant.
"Jirarya let the man speak, I am Saratobi, the current Hokage of this village who are you and what is it that you want." Saratobi spoke up knowing that I was not there to cause anyone trouble.
"My name is Dr. Fate and I traveled here trying to find the sudden surge of energy that I felt from my home. As for what I want, I want to know why do all of you look at this child as a monster. The child has done nothing to deserve this treatment and yet you all stand here and accuse the infant of crimes that are nonexistent. Lord Hokage I wish to know who is going to look after the child." The answer that I feared he would say came as a simple, "Mr. Fate I don't know, many of the women in the village will despise him or worse actually kill the child. So at the moment no one." the Hokage looked at the infant with a growing dread for what would be in store for the child if it stayed in the village. Until I said, "I'll take the child if it is alright with you sir." Saratobi looked up with a surprised look on his face as well as those surrounding the small child. "You mean you would take this child in and raise him regardless of the monster that he carries in him. You would do that for him?" The woman holding the child stared at me in disbelief.
"Yes in fact my wife Inza and I would enjoy having the child live with us if that is not a problem with you Lord Hokage?" "No not at all but first there are a few things you will need and know about this child follow me. As for the rest of you, you are dismissed I will call all of you in the morning to begin repairs of the village." With that said all of the ninjas in the office and around me vanished in puffs of smoke or leaves. After that I followed the Hokage to another room that contained many scrolls and looked similar to my study back home. "Please sit, Dr. Fate and listen very closely. One of the things you need to know is that the boy you are about to take is very special, his mothers final wishes were that he be loved and be taken care of." Saratobi then handed me what looked like a will from the boys mother. "Within that scroll is a list of things that by right of inheritance belong to the child. And here is a will from his father's side of the family." He then handed me another scroll and indeed it was a will from the boys father side. "Within that scroll is what the boys father left for him, and to clear up any confusion the child's name is Naruto. His father told me the boys name before the attack happened and his wife went into labor. All I ask of you is that you and your wife love this child and give him the life that his parents weren't able to give him. Love him like he was your own." "I will old friend but how long are you going to continue to lie to the villagers about your real age. I was surprise to see after three centuries." I took my old friend by surprise, but he just laughed. "I could never fool you, even when we were training to be wizards, you always knew what I was up to even if I am a few hundred years older than you. And to clear up any suspicion about why I left the magical council, its this I like your self found a wonderful woman and we got married. I now have two wonderful sons and I hope they grant me with grandchildren soon. But enough talk about the past, let me get you some scrolls that I want Naruto to study as he gets older and I'm sure you will teach him what you can about magic and its laws as well." Saratobi gave me a knowing grin and I said, "Of course I will, you didn't think I would just teach him nothing but jutsu's did you? No I intend to teach this small child all I know if not more. You don't have to worry my friend Naruto will be loved and taken care of. But I will tell the boy of his true past when he is a little older. As for the fox in him, that won't be a problem, I'll be doing a lot of research over the next few years so don't worry. Anything else I need to know." I turned toward the basinet that held the small boy who was still sound asleep. "Yes, the woman and man from earlier are two former students of mine, the woman is named Tsunade and the man is Jiraiya. They are both Sanin level ninjas and are Naruto's god parents. I request that one of them go with you and the other come when the boy is older. In my personal opinion, take Tsunade with you, she-," "Actually my friend I think it would be wiser to bring him here to visit every two years instead of that. If I came home with another woman my wife would turn me into a chimera."
Saratobi looked at me then smiled, "Of course just remember what I said alright." Nodding to my old friend I said, "Do not worry, we will see you in two years time." With that said I opened a portal and headed home to my wife with a surprise that will bring a smile to her face.
Once home I called for my wife, but not loud enough to wake the sleeping child. "Inza where are you? I'm home and I have a surprise for you." A minute later my wife comes into my study, "My love you have returned, was your....search..a...suc..cess? My love is that a baby you are holding?" Inza stares in disbelief at me and the infant. "Yes my love this is a baby but to be more precise our son, you see the place where the demonic energy came from was near his village. Would you like to hold him for Inza?" I looked at my wife noticing tears in her eyes and she came over to me and carefully lifted the child out of my arms and sat down on one of the chairs in my study. As we both sat down in my study I began to explain everything to her. As I was coming to the end of my story I could tell that my wife was close to tears. "So you see Inza in order to prevent him a harsh childhood I brought him here for us to raise. I know that you were hoping for one of our own but I still can't find a counter spell to use that would remove the spell on you. Think of this as a blessing in disguise. We could-," "Darling if you are done talking I need help setting up the nursery for him and I need aq bottle made ready for when he wakes up." I stared at my wife in disbelief. "You mean to tell me that your alright with this?" Inza turn to me and said with a smile on her face that was so bright that it could light up the darkest night "Of, course I'm alright with raising this wonderful child. He needs us and he needs the love of a mother and father. I know that it might be impossible to have one of our own and I accepted that a year ago, so raising one that is not of our blood means little to me, as long as the child grows up happy and healthy. As far as I'm concerned Naruto will have the life his parents wanted for him here with us." I stared at my wife for a few minutes but then I just shook my head and smiled at her. My wife never ceases to amaze me, and now as I look at my adopted son with nothing but pride and joy in my eyes I knew that our lives would never be the same ever again. Our lives were about to become more interesting as the years roll by and our little blessing would be destined for great and wonderful things in the near future.
*Okay there's chapter one and to clear up any confusion about Saratobi, he's a wizard in my story who has been around for a long time. He was a classmate of Dr. Fate and studied to be a wizard, but he left magic all behind when he met his wife. During a few of the chapters I will do a time skip. But I'll try and upload more chapters soon. And I'll update on Order of the Fang soon as well. Until next time.....Bon oui mes ami.
