Disclaimer: I own absolutely NOTHING!!!
Here is the first in a series of Rabid Plot Bunnies that have held my mind hostage. If anyone would like to give a bunny a new home, just let me know and we will talk. Just note that hopefully I will get the courage to come back through and do my own version of these.
Prologue
*The night of the Kyuubi attack.*
"Are you sure this is the only way?" a wizened voice asked softly. Sarutobi watched as his sucessor passed the length of the office. The young blond hod only been the Hokage for a short while and now this.
"yes, this is the only way. I will summon the shinigami and sacrafice my soul in order to save this village, sealing the Kyuubi into the body of a newborn." The fourth turned to Sarutobi as he said this. "You will need to return to your place as Hokage. Please, have the village treat the child for what it is, a hero. For it is the will of that child that will save this place from the Kyuubi."
"As you wish." Sarutobi replied. Then a thought struck him and he turned to look at the younger man. "What child will you use? None of the clans will be willing to give theirs up."
"If I had my own I would use them. However, there is only one child that I can think of that is of the right age." The fourth said in a solemn voice. "I will use the baby boy that was born this evening. The one whose mother was found outside Konoha and kept hidden in the locked ward."
"And what of the mother?"
A sad look appeared in the blond's sky-blue eyes. "She passed right after he was born. It seems the only reason she hung on for so long was so she could safely deliver her baby boy to this world."
"What shall we call him, since he dose not have a family to name him."
"His name shall be Naruto Uzumaki."
Please review and let me know if you want to adopt this bunny.
