Chapter 1: Removal.
*pant pant*
"LEAVE ME BE!" Naruto shouted as he ran down the alley.
His footsteps seemed quiet relative to the boisterous mob that had gathered to chase him. Naruto ran for his life, hearing nothing but the resounding pounds of heart pushing blood to flow through his body and the quickly paced breaths of air he took in and out of his mouth. The mob was mostly made of civilians but there were a few scattered chunnin that gave him a run for his money. A person who moved aside in fear of getting trampled could even say that they were gaining ground on the blond-headed brat.
'There!' Naruto thought.
He saw an entrance to a familiar park he visited alone while in Konoha and made a dash for it. The chunnin that were part of the mob made a grab for the forsaken youth, who noticed and ducked to avoid getting caught. Running with wide eyes, Naruto ducked under swing sets and jumped over seesaws in order to try to lose his pursuers. Some of the civilians got caught up in trying to go around the obstacles while the others and the chunnin had no problem of going over them. Naruto saw a small gap in the wooden fence surrounding the park and continued to run straight before making a sharp turn and short slide to fit through the fence. He glanced over his shoulder to see the remaining civilians fail to get through the small exit and turned with a small smirk on his face.
However, our protagonist knew he wasn't in the clear yet and hastily moved to the alley across the street. Seeing that the alleyway was longer than expected, he took another glance over his shoulder to see if he had actually lost the entire mob. He sighed in relief when there appeared to be no one behind him. He turned to continue down the alley only to turn to be face to face with a chunnin that was chasing him.
"TIME TO DIE DEMON!" The chunnin shouted with a raised kunai.
Naruto took half a step back, frozen with shock and was even more shocked when the hand of one of the other chuunin stopped the killer from murdering him. Naruto didn't make a move still shocked and hoping that they changed their minds.
"YOU IDIOT! WE SHOULD TORTURE HIM BEFORE ALLOWING HIM THE FREEDOM OF DEATH!" The second chunnin said.
'Well... It seems like they changed their minds, but for the worse...' Naruto thought, biting his bottom lip.
"You're absolutely right... Why didn't I think of that?" The first chunnin muttered with a pondering expression.
They stood towering over Naruto, kunai raised to maim his body, when there was a flash of metal. Naruto closed his eyes for a few seconds before reopening them to see that someone stood in front of him. Said person held a katana in a horizontal position, had a kunoichi's figure, an ANBU uniform with mask, and dark purple hair that extended to her mid back. When she spoke she said one word to the chunnin.
"Leave."
The chunnin saw who it was and quickly shot off in opposite directions with much haste. Meanwhile, Naruto watched on with fascination and thought, 'Sugoi...'
"Naruto." She spoke, "Go home." And vanished in a blur.
Naruto overcame his shock finally and took a look around for the purple-haired kunoichi but to no avail. He then ran home as fast as his legs could carry him.
"HIRUZEN! WE MUST GET RID OF THAT DEMON THIS INSTANT!" A civilian councilor screamed.
Multiple comments and exclamations similar to the councilor's statement broke out in the chamber as both the civilian and shinobi side of the council alike agreed on the matter. Hiruzen sat in his seat, deathly quiet, hands clasped together with his head bent slightly so that a shadow covered his face.
"SILENCE!" He erupted, effectively quieting the entire chamber.
'I didn't want to reveal this, but in order to keep Naruto safe within the walls of Konoha it is the best option...'
"We cannot exile or kill Naruto Uzumaki for he is the son of Minato Namikaze, better known as the 'Yellow Flash', and Kushina Uzumaki, who is known as the 'Red-Hot Habanero'." Hiruzen stated.
...
A resounding "WHAT?!" Echoed through the chamber. The civilian and shinobi sides were submerged into chaos as one of the greatest secrets of Konoha was revealed. The civilian councilors refused to believe that the demon brat was the Fourth Hokage's son while the shinobi side began to see how he was the son of both of the famously feared ninja in the elemental nations.
"I REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT DEVIL'S SPAWN AS THE SON OF THE YONDIAME!" A civilian councilor shouted.
"SILENCE! Now, I believe that proof is needed in order to back up your claims Hokage-sama." Hiruzen turned his head from the frustrated civilian side to see the calm demeanor of Hiashi Hyuuga staring back.
"Well of course. If I may, I present to the council, the certificate that the Yondiame signed himself, proving Naruto's inheritance as well as his last wish."
"And pray tell, what is this last wish Hokage-sama?"
"For his son to be recognized as a HERO by the village he died for!"
"…" Silence ruled the room again. But that was before one civilian decided to voice his thoughts…
"I still don't want him in the village. Hero or not, I don't want anything that contains that beast near my family or this village!"
As if wanting to melt the man by his gaze alone, Hiruzen would have killed the man on the spot. Fortunately for the civilian, it was at this time that Shukaku spoke up.
"Hokage-sama, if I may, I would like to propose a suggestion."
Hiruzen only grunted in response, obviously in a horrid mood thanks to how the meeting was going.
"I propose to keep Naruto away from the village while keeping him loyal at the same time."
Hiruzen raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "How?" Everyone seemed to be on the edge of his or her seat, anxiously awaiting the answer to the lazy genius's idea.
"If we had Jiraiya take Naruto on his travels, not only will we gain someone who could take up Jiraiya-sama's spy network, but also someone who could become abundantly talented in the shinobi arts under Jiraiya-sama's tutelage. This helps Naruto remain loyal to the village by having someone to look up to and consider family, as well as keeping him away from the villiage at the same time. Jiraiya-sama also had close ties to the boy's parents, so there should be no problem convincing him to take Naruto under his wing."
"Mhm… Jiraiya, what do you think?" Hiruzen said without turning around.
At this time, Jiraiya seemingly appeared out of the shadows, startling most of the civilian council and surprising a few of the clan heads.
"…" Jiraiya's face was emotionless as he contemplated the choices between him.
Mhm… If I don't help out Naruto who knows what will happen to the poor boy… But if I take him, there's no telling what kind of danger he could get into… and if he's anything like his father… well… let's hope not right?
"I'll take him with me if that is the ultimate decision of the council." Jiraiya said with a serious face.
Hiruzen sighed. Obviously this wasn't going the way he had planned it. "Fine. All of those in favor of Naruto being taken outside of the village under Jiraiya's supervision, say 'I'."
"I."
"I."
"I."
Many more "I's" filled the entire room as the discussion came to an end.
"If that's all, you're dismissed."
End of the Chapter.
Alex K.: "Well… That wasn't too bad…"
Baka-Chan: "Oh if you mean despite when where you were constantly ducking your head and wrapping your arms around it in embarrassment then yeah!"
Alex K.: "… Thanks Baka-Chan."
Baka-Chan: "Anytime!"
Alex K.: "Well return soon for the next chapter about our future blonde samurai!"
