Prologue
A blonde headed boy skulked in the bushes listening intently to two people talking nearby. He knew silence and subtly were completely important to this mission and didn't want to alert the two people so he sat perfect still, senses sharp for any movement or other indication they knew of him. He listened for a few more minutes until the targets moved away. He knew it would be impossible to stay hidden if he moved further towards the compound so he backed off for now and dashed back to report what he had heard.
When he reached his destination he opened the door and walked in, "Hokage!"
"Yes?" a boy from behind a make-shift desk ask with utter seriousness.
"News from The Hideaway!" the boy yelled back."She has a crush on………… me!" the blonde hung his head.
"Oh my god this is a disaster of epic proportions!" the boy yelled back.
"I know!" the blonde whispered in shame.
"Kakashi!" someone yelled from outside.
"Umm I gotta go I'll be back later!" Kakashi, the blonde, said. He ran out and saw his dad by the park entrance; he ran to him and jumped into his arms.
"Have a nice day?" Naruto asked his son.
"I had an awesome day Daddy!" Kakashi yelled.
"Good! Come on let's go home, mom's got some great ramen cooking!" Naruto lightly dropped his son on the ground and held his hand as they walked.
The park was located close to the middle of town behind the ninja academy, which Kakashi would attend next year. Naruto expected him to do great things; he was already at the level of a Genin entering the Chunnin Exams! Naruto had taught him almost everything he knew, and planned on teaching him more as he went.
"So daddy…… When will you take me on my first mission?" Kakashi asked.
"When you become a Genin like me silly, it's to dangerous for you now!" Naruto laughed, "Besides your mother would kill me if I let anything happen to you!"
"Mommy wouldn't kill you; you're the silly one daddy!" Kakashi giggled at his father's joke.
"You never know!" Naruto said, "but seriously never do anything thing that would put you or others in danger, OK?"
"OK Daddy!" Kakashi promised.
"Well here we are!" Naruto said, sliding the door aside.
"Are you home already Kakashi? Usually you stay out late, must be my good cooking that keeps you coming back!" Sakura laughed, hugging her son.
"No Mommy! It's you and Daddy I love!" Kakashi said.
"Well I love you too, but not when your dirty and stinky go wash up!" Sakura laughed, patting Kakashi's head.
"I love you; you always know what to say!" Naruto said, hugging his wife.
"Love you too knuckle-head, I trust the mission was ok?" Sakura smiled at him.
"Yeah it was fine! Although it was tiring, I keep expecting Sasuke or Kabuto to make a move." Naruto whispered to her.
"Well hopefully they wont, hopefully they'll stay quite and lay low for a few more years! I don't want our son to have to deal with war!" Sakura whispered back.
"Yeah your right!" Naruto whispered.
"Kakashi come on down!" Sakura yelled, setting the table.
"I'll go get him," Naruto said, walking up the stairs and to the bathroom.
He glanced inside and didn't see Kakashi so he walked to his room, then his and Sakura's: nothing.
"KAKASHI?!" Naruto yelled.
Sakura ran up stairs and to her husband, "What's wrong?" she asked.
"He's gone!" Naruto whispered.
"What?!" Sakura ran around the house, then outside yelling his name.
"You wont find him in there," a calm voice laughed.
"Sakura turned slowly to the speaker: Kabuto/Orochimaru!
"Kabuto where is he?" Sakura asked calmly.
"Oh no where, but I must thank you for living on the outskirts of town!" Kabuto laughed.
His presence was totally cloaked from Sakura; she couldn't sense his charka at all. Even now staring at him she sensed no presence where he stood.
"Don't worry he'll make a good understudy! I'll teach him all I know!" Kabuto laughed, vanishing in a flash of blue smoke.
"KABUTO!" Sakura yelled, knowing tracking him would be impossible. He had all of Kabuto's and Orochimaru's skills and therefore was beyond even the Sannin level!
Naruto ran out to her, "What happened?" Naruto asked.
Sakura fell to her knees already tears poured out of her eyes, "HE TOOK MY BABY!!!" Sakura yelled into the wind.
