Chap. 1
It was around nightfall. Everyone in the town of Konohagakure was preparing for sleep. The Hokage looked out on the village. He took a breath and smiled, everything was peaceful. It had been two hundred years since the Uchiha uprising and the village had recovered quite well, as did the economy. People pushed the incident out of their minds but the scar on the mountain remained. The Uchiha was ancient and extinct now, executed after the attacks, but the attacks were never forgotten.
He turned around and walked back into his office. He continued looking over missions that would get started tomorrow and who to send out for them when there was a loud thunderous crash and an explosion of light. He ran to the balcony once again, looking at the location of the light source.
Ninja instantly on the sight. A crowd gathered silently around the location of the flash. A baby boy lying in a basket.
The area quickly filled with the sound of a crying baby. Around his neck was a medallion with the ancient Uchiha clan emblem on it and a red leaf ninja headband. There were whispers surrounding the child.
"Where did he come from?" asked a woman.
"I think it's a government test. There is no way an Uchiha is still alive," said an older woman.
"A who?" asked a small child.
"Someone kill the damn thing to shut it up and end it already. It's dangerous and could try to kill us," said an old man.
As the Hokage walked up, the whispers stopped and everyone stared at him with intense, interested eyes. He picked up the headband and the child from the basket and looked at the emblem then went to the top of the nearest building, turned and addressed the audience.
"Do not be frightened by what you see. I too, have no idea where this child came from or how he got here. But if what is presented is true, than this child is from the Uchiha clan but still a citizen of Konohagakure. We must protect him, as a member of this village, and not punished his as an Uchiha. This newborn has no ties to the uprising as far as we know, so why would he treat him like he does?"
There were screams of outrage and protest as he spoke these words, then, from the back of the crowd, there was a lone voice who said," Our great leader is wise in what he says. The past is the past. We must leave it there and try for a new start. This child will learn the ways of our ninja and our village, just like our own children deserve."
The people started to disperse with grumbles of anger and agreement. The Hokage jumped down and landed with a light thud next to the man," Thank you Naruto. We must make sure that this doesn't leave the walls of Konoha. Who knows what would come about if that were to happen?"
The two men walked off with the child toward the office of the Hokage.
"Who will train him sir?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know but for right now I'll take him and raise him. We need to figure out this mystery and as soon as possible."
They walked through the town quickly. The child fell asleep, comforted by the arms of the Hokage.
They got back to the office and they immediately started to look through papers and books to figure out where this child came from. They searched through old reports and witness accounts. Nothing fit the description of the child in the deceased list. After several hours they finally found the clue they were looking for. As they read an Anbu report, their understanding of the uprising changed.
