Cry of the Rain

Prologue

It was a rainy night in the village of Konohagakure no Sato. However a young blonde boy was running from a mob of citizens. The boy was none other then the hero of our story, Uzumaki Naruto. He was only 7 now, and running in the rain wasn't the best idea, had it not been for the fact he was being chased to be killed. As the boy named Naruto ran and ran, he did not notice, nor did the mob chasing him notice, a cloaked man running along the rooftops. This cloaked man leaped and landed before Naruto, causing Naruto to crash into him.

Naruto looked up at the man, and cowered in fear, as the man leaned down towards Naruto and said, "It is alright, young one, I mean no harm to you." This man looked up at the mob, standing in the rain as one of the citizens said, "Kill the demon!" and many agreed, of the mob. The man chuckled lightly and stood up and his cloak moved as he brought out a sleeve, and said, "No, I will say this, the boy is not the demon, and you all will see it in the years to come." Then with one handed seals, he grabbed Naruto and disappeared, in a swirl of water. The citizens gaped but knew that they could now not harm the boy.

ANBU had been watching and they left towards the Hokage's Tower. As the ANBU entered, the captain spoke up, "Uzumaki Naruto has been taken by a mysterious man, Hokage-sama." This earned a sigh as an old man stood up from his chair, looking out the window. This old man was Sandaime Hokage, known as Sarutobi. Sarutobi spoke, "We can't do much in the rain, if this man can use Suiton, then we would be going on a wild goose chase." The ANBU nodded and all but one left, that one took off his mask, to reveal Hatake Kakashi, the Copy Ninja.

"What will this man do, Hokage-sama?"

The Hokage replied, with a grave voice.

"I do not know."

The night continued to be filled with rain.
