Hokage's Office - February 20
The Third Hokage settled himself in his chair and shuffled the papers on his desk as he sat down. An ANBU came in and calmly walked to Lord Hokage's desk and bowed in front of it.
"Lord Hokage, the child is here."
The old man sighed and sat up in his chair and rested his chin in his hands.
"Let the boy in..."
Hokage only did this twice, once for the Uchiha child and for the Hyuuga child. Even if he has been Hokage for 10 years, he never liked doing this if it ever came up. He never planed for this to happen to this child...he's too young. He never wanted the children to see something like that happen.
The doors slowly opened as a little boy walked in, about the age of nine. Behind him, a ANBU walked slowly, expecting the child to fall or something.
The boy sat in the chair across the table from the Hokage and looked down in a daze.
'Oh...I hate doing this...poor boy...' Hokage thought before he spoke.
"Look up at me...tell me what happened." He said as he stared at the boy in front of him.
He winced as the boy slowly raised his head and stared at him with his empty eyes and white face.
"T-the wind...betrayer...the dragon..." The boy whispered the last word as if it was a curse as he fixed his gaze on the old man.
'What is he talking about?'
"Do you know what happened to your parents?"
"Yes" The boy whispered without emotion.
"What happened? Are they okay?"
Silence
"What happened?"
'Oh god...please let them be okay...' The Hokage thought as he started thinking of his dear friend.
"They're dead." The boy whispered again.
The Hokage winced again as he heard the death of his friend from his child's own mouth.
He thought of how rough this might be on the child and thought of him being an outcast and keeping everyone away like the Uchiha kid.
"H-how did they die?"
"The filter...dragon...darkness..." The kid started murmuring the words now, like he was struggling to remember what happened earlier.
"D-do you know who you are?"
At first, a minute passed and the old man started to think the child went crazy and forgot his own name when he looked up at him.
"Uzumaki Kyubi..."
The Hokage winced a third time as he heard the last word spoken. The ANBU in the doorway coughed a bit loudly.
'How did he know the Kyubi is sealed in himself? Surely his father and mother didn't tell him...why would he say his first name is Kyubi...maybe the seal cracked...no...I mustn't think like that...'
"What is your first name?" The old man asked again hoping for a different answer as he leaned forward a little bit.
The child struggled silently to speak, and finally some words came out.
"Uzumaki...N-.... Naru...Uzumaki ...Naruto..." As if the speaking drained him of his energy, the last remaining member of the Uzumaki clan fell on top of the Hokage's desk and slept.
