Chapter One
England, November 4, 1981
Godric's Hollow was a simple, small village with a small bar. Sitting in one of the chairs was a tall man with waist-length, spiky white hair tied in a pony tail. He had two shoulder-length bangs that framed his face, with red lines that ran down his face like teardrops. He had a horned forehead protector with the Kanji for Oil. That man was Jiraiya, the Toad Sage and one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha.
Originally, the man came to explore what was beyond the Hidden Countries. Unfortunately, a few hours ago, while he was exploring and researching in 'England', it had a weird name if you asked him. He discovered that his student, Namikaze Minato, also the Yondaime Hokage died, a tragic death sacrificing his soul to seal the Kyuubi in his son Naruto. It came as a shock to him, the death of the man he saw as son. So, he left to the nearest Bar and started to drink until he could forget.
"ister, Mister!" he heard a voice call him. He turned to the bartender. "Yes?" He asked, he was obviously drunk.
"I'm sorry, but we have to close the bar. It is too late and you drank too much." The man eyed him, looking worried. Jiraiya could see that the man was honestly worried about him, so he stood up, and placed the money on the table. He realized the bartender and him were the only people in the bar.
He walked out of the bar, and tripped two times on the way out. If Tsunada saw him, she'd die from laughter. He ignored the bartender asking him if he needed any help. As he started to search for a motel or something, he heard a voice crying, he ran to it as fast as he can until he reached the middle of the forest. He found a little boy who looked one year old, crying in the forest all alone. He sat beside the little boy. "What is your name, little one?" Jiraiya asked the little boy, he did have a soft spot for little kids.
The little boy stopped crying and stared at him with his green eyes "Hawwy."
Jiraiya nodded his head. "Well, little one-" He still wasn't sure what to call him, after all, he still wasn't used to 'England' peoples names. Actually he only knew Ben! And that was The bartender's name. "-Where are your parents?"
Poor, little Hawwy look like he was about to cry again. So Jiraiya continued, "Okay, okay don't cry. How about I help you find them?"
Hawwy stared at him confusedly. Jiraiya felt like he wanted to bang his head against the wall. Of course! Hawwy was still a child! A one years old he couldn't possibly understand everything he told him, right? Jiraiya lend his hand to Hawwy. "Do you want me to help you find them?" He said each world slowly, he wasn't sure if Hawwy understood him or not, but he took his hand. Jiraiya picked up Hawwy and carried him as they searched for Hawwy's parent. Finally they reached an house with an open door. When Hawwy pointed at it they went inside. The house was a mess, different things were scattered everywhere, to Jiraiya, it looked abandoned. Suddenly he heard Hawwy shout. "Padfoo!"
He turned to see Hawwy pointing at a toy in the floor, it was a black dog that looked like the Grim. Jiraiya snorted, Toads are better! He picked the toy and saw that written on the toy stomach 'Padfoot property of Harry Potter'
He tried the name. "Harry." He saw 'Harry' nod his head, clapping in glee. Jiraiya smiled. "So your name is Harry? Well Harry, it seems the house is empty and I can't feel anyone here, so let's search somewhere else, how about that?" Harry didn't seem to care as he tried to reach for 'Padfoot'. He gave the toy to Harry who hugged it tightly, it seems like he missed his toy a lot.
Jiraiya had to admit Harry hugging the toy made an adorable picture. "Let's go Harry-Kun."
As they left the house Jiraiya spotted an old woman walking on the street. He called her, "Excuse me!"
She turned to him as he ran to her. She smiled at him. "Hello, dear."
He introduced himself to the woman nervously, he didn't know why but she scared him a little. "Hi, I'm Jiraiya and this is Harry, he is-" He glance helplessly at Harry, he didn't know how to explain the situation to the old woman.
"Your son," She continued for him. Jiraiya eyes widened. "WHAT? NO!" But the woman ignored him in favor of cooing at Harry and how adorable he is. He had to agree Harry, who was snuggling with Padfoot, was just too adorable to ignore. But it didn't help when Harry called him. "Da!"
Deciding to ignore the whole misunderstanding-And that he liked being called Harry's father- he asked her, "Do you know anything about that house?" He asked pointing at the house he just left.
The woman's eyes filled with pity. "Ah yes, the Potters. They were a family that lived here but moved a few days ago, I saw the couple here this morning with one of their sons. They had two sons, twins to be exact. I didn't say anything but." She glanced to the right then to the left." I saw this morning, they took one of their sons to the forest and came out without him."
Jiraiya eyes hardened, he realized the pity wasn't for the couple, but for the child. The son they seemed to abandon. "You didn't do anything?"
She glared at him. "Of course I did something! I told David!" Seeing Jiraiya's confusion, she explained. "David is considered our village leader, he's the doctor if you have any problems you take it to him."
"And he didn't do anything?!" Jiraiya exclaimed
The woman shook her head. "Of course he did something. He didn't believe me, he and the village men's left to search for the child but they found nothing! So they said I must have imagined it."
Jiraiya turned to stare at Harry. How could they? How could they abandon a son but keep the other? Harry was a sweet child, how could someone abandon him? No parent should ever abandon a child. He didn't want to blame them, he knew some parents out there, not all of them, but some left their children to give them a better life. But not like this, not leave them in a forest. It screamed 'abandonment', he didn't know what to do anymore. Could he leave little Harry in some orphanage? No, absolutely not! He might find a good family with kind parents, but at the same time, he might not. Suddenly an idea came to him. "Excuse me, I have to leave, my wife is waiting for me at home."
The woman smiled at him knowingly . "It was nice meeting you and young Harry here." As she pinched Harry's cheek which was met with one of Harry's pouts.
"Yes, It was nice meeting you too," He mumbled. Yes, he knew he was acting childish, but seriously, could the woman stop with her knowing eyes?
He walked to the edge of the forest, turning around he caught the woman entering one of the houses it was painted blue. He continued until he reached deep in the forest. He placed Harry on the floor. And started to make to draw a portal in the ground. He had to concentrate, making a portal was very difficult. He himself only made two in his whole life.
He didn't really have to make a portal; he could just go on a ship, just like he arrived to the outside countries, but it would take at least a month for it to come back here in 'England'. So his only choice to wait a month for the ship (He didn't know how to sail a boat, not that he would admit that.) or make a portal. So a portal it is.
Finally he finished making the portal. It was a large circle that would take him and Harry to his sensei office. Turning to Harry, he smiled. "Come in, Harry-Kun. I'm going to take you with me to my sensei office."
Little Harry stared at the portal in confusion. He pointed at it. Jiraiya picked him up. "This Portal will only take you and me to my sensei's office."
"An Padfoo!" Little Harry said.
"Huh?" Jiraiya looked confusedly at Harry.
Little Harry pointed at himself. "Hawwy." Then pointed at Jiraiya. "Da!" He showed Jiraiya his toy. "Padfoo!" And finally pointed at the portal.
Jiraiya realized that Harry thought they were going to leave Padfoot in the forest. He ruffled Harry's hair. "And Padfoot."
Harry gave him a big grin, it seems he realized they were not going to leave Padfoot behind.
Picking Harry up, he stood in front of the portal and jumped.
Land of Fire, Konoha, November 4
Sarutobi Hiruzen or otherwise known as 'The Professor' was sitting alone in his office. Not the Hokage office, that was Minato's or at least it was until he died. No, he meant his office in his own house. Sometimes he stayed there when his children were young, he would finish his paperwork while his dear wife Biwako prepared tea so they can enjoy it together when he finished. He remembered how both his children's Taiki and Asuma would run to his office laughing and playing 'Ninja'.
Good times. He mused. But now after both of his sons grew up, it was only him and Biwako. He stared down at the young child in his arms. A newborn and he already lost both of his parents. Adding the fact of the burden he carries, it seems the child would have a very hard life. Seeing the child wake up from his sleep Hiruzen smiled but pain flashed in his eyes for a moment. Naruto looked so much like Minato, he wondered what will he inherit from Kushina? He hoped it wasn't her love of pranks or Konoha will be doomed! He could already see the paperwork's triple in front of him.
Hiruzen sensed something in the cellar, he glanced at it to see that in the middle of the cellar a portal was opened. Making a portal was a very hard thing to do, he himself only knew personally three people who could and two of them were dead.
He watched, ready to attack if needed. Imagine his surprise when his student Jiraiya fell down and he seemed to have a child in his arms. Looking at the child. "Your son, I presume?"
"No! Well, yes." Jiraiya stopped and stared at him. "That's it?! You're just going to say 'You're son I presume'?"
Hiruzen just simply smiled at him, a sad smile that's is but a smile none less. "Why are you here, Jiraiya?"
Jiraiya sighed at sat in one of the chairs in the office. "My student died, where else would I be?"
"I meant, why are you in my office?" Hiruzen explained. "Don't you want to see his and Kushina's bodies before they bury them? After all, we waited for you to arrive."
Jiraiya didn't face him, he turned to see the paintings that was placed in the office." I can't, sensei, I just can't. He was my student, the closest thing I have to a son." He paused, then corrected himself, "I saw him as a son. I just can't say goodbye."
Hiruzen sensing Jiraiya's discomfort, changed the subject. "What is his name?"
"What?" Jiraiya asked confusedly.
Hiruzen nodded at the child in Jiraiya's arm. "The child who might or might not be your son."
Jiraiya's eyes met Harry's. He just realized how quit Harry was. He introduced them, "This is Harry, my soon to be adopted son. Harry, this is Sarutobi Hiruzen, my sensei."
"He's from the outside world, isn't he?" Hiruzen asked.
Jiraiya nodded. "Yes, I found him in the forest."
"What about his parent's?"
"They abandoned him," Jiraiya said.
Hiruzen narrowed his eyes. "They abandoned him?"
"Yes," Jiraiya simply said.
"Explain," Hiruzen demanded.
So he did. Jiraiya told him everything. About how he found Harry, the house, the old woman, he didn't leave anything.
"So you decided to adopt him?" Hiruzen asked him, his eyes widened a little.
"Well yeah, I guess I just feel responsible. I mean, I was the one who found him and I can't leave him in an orphanage!" Jiraiya exclaimed. "I mean look at him!" He motioned to Harry. Harry was holding Padfoot tightly, and yawning while he was rubbing his eyes.
"I guess he's adorable," Hiruzen admitted.
Jiraiya grinned. "Yes, he is. Plus women adore children." Suddenly he got a perverted grin. And his nose bled a little.
Hiruzen grinned a little before he turned serious. "What are you going to do about Naruto?"
Jiraiya blinked. "What about him?" He saw his sensei narrows his eyes. He continued, "He's going to live in Konoha, of course!"
Hiruzen glared at him. "And Harry?"
"Harry will travel with me," Jiraiya said as if the answer was obvious. But he regret it as soon as he said it, because he felt Hiruzen KI as soon as he finished.
"So you're going to leave your godson alone in this village, but take care of a child you have no relation to?" Hiruzen asked looking dangerously at him. He placed Naruto on the table. "Look at him. Can you really leave him?"
Jiraiya looked at Naruto. He looks like Minato. He thought sadly. "I admit, I don't really want to leave him. Even though it hurt seeing him I feel as if I'm betraying Minato."
Hiruzen smiled. "So you are going to take care of him?"
"No." At the glare he received, he explained, "You have to understand, Naruto looks a lot like Minato, and with the fact that I'm the one who's going to take care of him. Can you really say no one will suspect anything?"
Hiruzen sighed. "I can see the logic in your explanation, but that doesn't mean I approve of it. And I don't think Naruto will too when he grows up."
"I know, he might never forgive me," Jiraiya said. "But I hope one day he can finds it in his heart to give another chance when he's older."
"When he's older?" Hiruzen questioned him.
"Yes. You really think I'm going to leave him forever?" Jiraiya asked him. "Of course not! I'm going to return when he becomes a Genin. And I'll take him as my apprentice."
"If you are sure," Hiruzen said. "But I'm not going to support your decision Jiraiya. And when the times come I'll tell Naruto about you and why you left. And you should know that I'm going to tell him the whole truth about why you left."
"When?"
"After His Chunin exams," Hiruzen declared.
"Which one? For all you know he could fail the first time." Jiraiya asked.
Hiruzen smirked. "That's for me to choose."
"I understand." Jiraiya nodded. As he stood up he glanced at Naruto whispering a soft goodbye. He turned to leave when he suddenly stopped. "Sensei?"
"Yes?" Hiruzen raised his eyebrow at Jiraiya curiously.
"Promise me something," Jiraiya said softly.
"If I can, I will," He promised.
"You know the treatment the other jinchuriki receive from their villages." He saw Hiruzen nod. "And I want you to promise me, if anything like that happens to Naruto, you'll tell me?"
"I will," He promised. Hiruzen smiled. "Don't worry, Konoha will never treat Naruto that way."
Jiraiya smiled sadly. "I hope you're right, sensei. I hope you're right."
With one last goodbye, he turned and left.
A/N: So what do you think? Who should I bash in this story? And who should I pair with who?
