THE CIRCLE OF LIFE

It was a big event that happened every time a new heir to the title of Hokage was born. Everyone in the great village of Konoha gathered together at the foot of the Hokage's tower anxiously awaiting the news of the sex of the child and whether it was in good health or not.

"What should we name him, Minato?" Kushina Uzumaki, the wife of the Hokage, asked as she stared lovingly down at the blond haired bundle in her arms.

The father who stood over his wife and new born son ran his hand through his blond spikes and adjusted his Konoha leaf shinobi headband, he did this every time he was thinking seriously hard.

"Hm... what about Naruto?" He asked and tickled the baby's stomach with his finger causing the young child to giggle and attempt to grab his father's finger.

"Steamed fish? You want to name our son after a food?" Kushina stated with a raised eyebrow and Minato smiled nervously and scratched the back of his head.

"Well let's see what he things, eh? Hey --" He leaned down to his son in his wife's arms, the young boy glanced up at him with bright blue eyes that resembled his mother's. "-- what do you say, do you like the name 'Naruto'?"

The child giggled and smiled, attempting to clap his hands and Minato looked at his wife triumphantly. The red haired woman sighed in defeat.

"I guess your name is Naruto then." She said just as there was a knock on the door. Kushina sat up in the bed and Minato called for them to come in.

"Lord Hokage." Came the voices of two close family friends. One had silver hair and a blue mask over his face and his headband covered one eye, the other had a large scar across his nose and wore his headband on his forehead like his Hokage.

"Iruka, Kakashi, is it time?" Minato asked and the silver haired anbu nodded his head.

"His name is Naruto." Kushina said softly as she handed her newborn to Kakashi who raised an eyebrow at the rather odd name. "Blame the father."

"Kushinaaa..." Minato whined causing the red head to simply roll her eyes but smiled at her husband who grin wildly back.

Kakashi and Iruka, slowly followed my Minato who was helping his wife from the bed, walked out onto the balcony where the entire village was waiting for them.

"I present to you, Naruto Uzumaki! Your future Hokage!" Kakashi's voice boomed across the village and everyone heard, the masked anbu presented the child to the citizens who all cheered and clapped before bowing respectfully.

"I thank you all for coming to witness the birth of my son and I promise you I shall do everything in my power to assure he becomes a Hokage worthy of ruling this village." Minato called and once again everyone cheered.

Minato then took the child from Kakashi and walked back into the tower with his wife, Kakashi and Iruka followed behind. The masked anbu walked over to his Hokage and the child and performed a few hand signs before placing his hands on the child's forehead, doing this would unleash the child's chakra points so he could truly become a marvelous shinobi and eventually Hokage.

Young Naruto tried to grasp Kakashi's fingers as they were placed on his forehead and giggle happily.

"He shall become a truly great shinobi, Lord Hokage." Iruka said with a bow, Minato smiled in reply and kissed his child on the forehead before handing him back to his mother.
