Hero
Prologue
A five year old boy was crouched in a corner of an alley way as a group of civilians and shinobi assaulted him and struck at him with various weapons, bottles and rocks. "I didn't do anything to you. Leave me alone." The boy wailed in desperation. "'Didn't do anything?' Ha, do you hear him? You killed all of our families. I'm gonna kill you!" A burly tall man said. Suddenly a kunai, or throwing knife, flew through the man's heart and impaled itself next to the boy's face. "Oops." A man wearing a hooded cloak said. The man's best friend's face turned red and he began to flash through hand signs. "Katon karyuu-endan." He blew and a giant fire dragon erupted from his mouth and flew towards the man. The flames subsided and showed the man standing without a care. "Who are you?" The man who used the jutsu said. "I'm Toru Takeda." The stranger said. Toru then proceeded to form his own had signs. "Fire style, Phoenix flower jutsu." Thousands of fireballs assaulted the gathered group killing many. Toru then proceeded to throw a kunai at the last man, killing him. He walked towards the child and crouched to its level. The child was a blond with intelligent blue eyes, shivering in fear. "Hey, you don't have to be scared of me." Toru said with a smile. The child nodded then passed out. Toru gave a sigh and picked the boy up. "So this is Uzumaki Naruto, huh? Minato you and Kushina must be crying up there. He then shot off towards the giant building at the center of the town into which he jumped, landing in the hokage's office. "Toru!" came the old leader's surprised cry. "Hey there, Sarutobi." He said as he deposited Naruto on the couch on the side of the room. "Who did this?" Sarutobi said, becoming the cold shinobi who earned the nickname, God of Shinobi. "A group of shinobi and citizens. They're dead now though." The old man sighed. "Listen Hiruzen, I want to take this boy to train myself." The sandaime hokage nodded. Toru then turned and jumped back through the window, with one final glance at the boy who was destined to become hokage.
