Chapter 01
Adopted
A man in along red and white robe sat at his desk, a letter on his table, on his head sat a pentagram like hat draped in red and white as well. The old man was a leader of a shinobi village on a small continent hidden from the rest of the world. His title was the Hokage. The old man was currently looking at a single paper wondering what to do. A letter asking to adopt on his table from a couple Saori and her husband Mototsugu Shirahama, the couple were hoping to adopt a child. The two lived in Japan of all places. The children were all strong and many he could send but the real reason that letter made it to the elemental nations was not for some Orphan but for a very specific one.
"Naruto, you're not living the life had hoped here," The man muttered "To give you that I would have to give you up for a very long time," The man stroked his white beard. He turned in his chair and looked out the large window to the large city behind him. He gave a sad smirk, as he turned to the letter. "For you Naruto, you deserve a family," The old man stamped an approval on the letter and quickly sealed it. The man walked up to the top of the building and placed the letter in a cylinder and with a sad smile tied it around the ankle of a messenger Hawk.
"So I am going to get a family?" Naruto asked the blond haired boy seemed to shiver in delight. His face was sharp as his blue eyes started to look at things he could bring to his new home. The old leader chuckled at the boy's excited face. Placing a hand on his shoulder the man kneeled down to the boys eye level.
"Were you are going you will have to stay for a while, okay you won't be able to come back until your older. I'll come in visit you and I will have someone stay nearby to help train you in the shinobi arts. But you are to keep this a secret from you new family. Were you came from and what you learn stay between you and me. So unless I say otherwise show no signs of any fighting skills unless you take up martial arts," The old man smiled "Than by all means use your fists," The Hokage replied as he stood up. "Come the boat will be leaving shortly," The old man smiled as he handed Naruto a backpack. Naruto smiled a wide grin than stretched to his birth marks, three whiskers on each side of his face. The mark of the love his mother and his father had for each other, even if others saw it as a sign of a monster.
"So what are they like?" Asked Naruto as he looked at the man he viewed as a Grandfather. The old man chuckled Naruto couldn't stay serious for a movement.
