Akuma P.O.V
"Are you sure?" the old man asked as he sat behind his desk. He was wearing a white and red cloak and a large white and red hat that had the kanji sign for fire.
"I'm absolutely sure, Lord Hokage I said as I nodded and thought to myself on what I should do and told Sarutobi, "Okay here's what we should do. You'll fill out the papers ta make me a citizen and Shinobi of konoha, preferably at Jonin level since that's where my skills would probably be leveled at. I said as I looked at the Hokage and my reason on adopting the child is that I think it's best for the child to grow up as other children his age do, "I apologize, But I'm not sure if anyone else is willing to take care of him. I'm sure that adding one more person to my house won't make a big difference, and I just want him to live a normal life.
I see the Hokage answered as he looked at me I guess there isn't a problem. You do look like your sister Kushina Uzumaki, I smiled as i new my red hair will give it away but that's a lie. I'm not really related to Kushina Uzumaki but he doesn't know that I thought. Very well, Akuma. I will allow you to raise Naruto, due to the fact you're his only living relative. But Akuma you will only raise Naruto until he's at the age of five years old. That's when I'll have to send you on an extended mission away from konoha. After those two years I'll have you come back and start your life as a ninja of konoha and raise Naruto from then on. I nodded my head and said I'm grateful for your time, Lord Hokage and if you could fill out the adoption papers for Naruto ahead of time when do I return I'll officially become his adopted parent. That sound good?" "Very well, Akuma Uzumaki," the Hokage smiled.
"Thank you Lord Hokage.
I walked into the hospital where an infant boy was being taken care of. I walked up to the counter.
"I'm here by order of the Hokage to see Naruto Uzumaki. Which room is he held in?," I asked. With a cold dead tone in my voice. The Nurse looked up and blushed on seeing me. I sighed and thought sometime humans are stupid, "He's in room 306," the nurse stated.
"Thank you for your cooperation," I smiled.
As I started to search for the room. I walked towards room 306 where the infant was held in. I walked inside to see a few doctors taking care of the small infant boy. He was peacefully sleeping in a crib.
"You all must leave this room for now. If you have any questions, please direct them to the Hokage," I ordered. They turned away from their work and looked curiously at me, but they did as I ordered.
I walked towards the crib and smiled down at the boy as I gently picked him up into my arms. I made sure not to wake him up from his slumber. I brushed some of his blonde hair away from his delicate face. Then, I covered him in his blanket. I chuckled silently as he smuggled into me.
"I'm your new dad, Naruto," I whispered to him with a voice like silk.
Naruto seemed to smile at this as he continued to sleep. I walked out of the room as I carried him back to the counter. I got a few curious looks from the passing nurses and doctors.
"I'm this boy's new Father by order of the Hokage. If you have questions or concerns please direct them to him. If one of you do say something or do something without my consent," I smashed the desk into pieces with a single punch without waking up Naruto. "I'll make you regret it. I said in a deadly tone, I smiled as I saw how scared they were I will take my leave now, "announced to everyone in this room one of doctors. He nearly fell out of his seat as he watched me leave with the child.
"Why don't we go home, Naruto," I smiled.
I continued walking to a secluded area and far away from the populated area of the village which is surrounded by a small forest. I smiled and snapped my fingers as a brand new manor poofed out of nowhere. I smiled as our new home is ready hey a demon Fox has to live in style. I looked down to still see Naruto sound asleep I smiled as I opened the door to our new home. I walked up to the master bed room I changed into some pajamas and laid in bed. While holding Naruto close as we both slept. The ray of heat that belongs to the sun was touching my skin. I started to wake up. I looked to see Naruto sleeping soundly next to me. I smiled as I got up. I quickly got dressed and went back to little Naruto. He slowly started to wake up.
"Good morning, Naruto," I chuckled, "We have a busy schedule today."
I picked him up with his blanket and started heading out to the market. The googly eyes that was given to me by all the females I passed by. I found a little store that sold products for babies. I went to the clothes section. I looked through the clothes until I found a pair of orange footy pajamas. I saw Naruto stare at it with large eyes. I chuckled as I picked up a few of them. I went to the changing room and tried them on Naruto. He looked adorable. I went to a different section and found some stuffed animals. I stared at one that looked like a fox. 'Naruto playing with a toy fox while having a demon fox inside of him, and having a demon fox look after him" I chuckled at the thought. I grabbed it and moved on.
I bought other necessities Naruto would need. For example, I bought milk solution, a bottle, diapers, a baby carrier, and a crib. I went to the counter to pay for it. "Why what a handsome young man?" the old lady that ran the shop asked.
I just smiled as she figured out how much it all would cost me. it wasn't that much since i got a discount lucky me.
I paid for it and dressed Naruto into one of the diapers and a pair of little orange footy pajamas. I put on the baby carrier and placed him inside. Then, I got out an empty scroll and sealed the rest of the stuff inside of it. I'm really talented at fūinjutsu (Sealing techniques). I placed the scroll in my pouch, and walked out with Naruto. "Where should we go now, Naruto? Hmm . . . How about I show you one of daddy's favorite places to go?" I asked him. Naruto started to giggle. "Then, let's go," I chuckled.
I started to walk with him to a place close to the village. It was a small clearing on a hill. It was surrounded by beautiful Sakura trees but what's so different about these trees that they're blossoms where a bright red color. Most of them still had flowers on them. It was one of my favorite places to rest or have a picnic with my brother before that happened. I could see Naruto's eyes widen at the sight of the Sakura flowers.
The petals danced as they were carried by the wind. I chuckled at the sight of Naruto trying to reach for them with his little hands. Naruto started to cry at the fact that he couldn't catch any. I walked up to a tree and picked a flower. I held it in front of him. He immediately stopped crying and grabbed the flower. I chuckled as he played around with it in pure curiosity.
I sighed as I sat down on the grass and took Naruto out of the carrier. I sat him down in front of me. I gave him a sad smile, and he tilted his head a bit.
"One day, Naruto when your older Daddy has to go away for a while but I'll be back soon your my little boy and I'll always protect you I said with a smile as I began to sing ,
Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
For one so small,
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always
Why can't they understand the way we feel?
They just don't trust what they can't explain
I know we're different but deep inside us
We're not that different at all
And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know (what do they know)?
We need each other
To have, to hold.
They'll see in time
I know
When destiny calls you
You must be strong (you gotta be strong)
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
[another version says: "Believe me, you'll be in my heart"]
I'll be there from this day on,
Now and forever more
Oh, you'll be in my heart (you'll be here in my heart)
No matter what they say (I'll be with you)
You'll be here in my heart (I'll be there), always
Always
I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there always.
Once I was done singing as I looked at Naruto and sadly smiled You and I aren't a monster. You are my son, Naruto," I hugged Naruto close as I felt tears slip down my face.
I faced him and smiled through my tears. Naruto giggled as he let go of the flower and rubbed his hand on my cheek as if trying to wipe away my tears. I chuckled.
'I've only been with him for two days and I already feel so attached to him. I fear for the day that I might lose him, or the day he find out that I'm a demon but until then, I'll be the best father I can be,' I told myself.
