Sitting at home Hiruzen Sarutobi poured himself some tea before sitting down at his desk. The battle with the Kyuubi was still fresh in his mind even though it had ended just 9 months ago. The loss of many great shinobi was still having its effect on the village.
A sigh left him as he worried about Minato's and Kushina's son. Sarutobi knew that many of the ninja who fought against the Kyuubi would not respond well to with the young boy so he left him in the care of a guarded orphanage.
Rubbing his temple, he had taken a sip of his tea when there was a knock on the door. He was at home so he knew there would be very few knocking on his door at this hour unless it was one of his ANBU. Sarutobi flared his chakra and could only sense a small chakra source outside his front door.
Getting up Sarutobi went to his front door and opened it. He was on high alert, his old muscles tense for battle when all he found was a bundle wrapped up in a blanket with a single note pinned to it. The note had an odd symbol that looked like a windmill shuriken that had a senbon going threw it. Carefully Sautobi took the note and opened it.
Hokage, please watch over this child. I'm sure she'll be a great help to you in the future.
Sarutobi couldn't help but sense an alternative motive to this note but he tucked it away for later analysis. Using a kunai Sarutobi carefully cut open the blanket still not sure of what may lie inside, for all he knew it was a trap.
Brown mahogany hair peeked out first and he noticed that it was curly baby hair. Putting the kunai away immediately Sarutobi unwrapped the bundle. Sarutobi knew he should be more cautious of the bundle but he couldn't help that he was human and how the little hand that popped out to gently wrap around Sarutobi's finger made his muscles relax. Undeveloped eyes blinked away tears that had been shed. Sarutobi couldn't help but smile, the baby girl had a light chocolate skin tone to match her curly mahogany hair.
Looking around, flaring his senses once more to make sure there was no one around other then his assigned ANBU, he went inside with the young one in hand.
The next day Sarutobi called the his ANBU and asked if they saw or sensed anything strange enter the are, to his surprise they didn't, Sarutobi took in the information then told them to try and see if anyone was missing a child. Sarutobi also gave the note to the investigation division as he took the child to the hospital.
The doctor told Sarutobi that she was healthy and couldn't really find anything unnatural, but they did find one thing. Her chakra reserves were developing far to quickly and told me she might get chakra pain when she is ether 6 or 7, for now though she was a perfectly healthy baby which gave the Hokage a surprising level of relief.
Sarutobi also noticed that the child, even though her eyes had not yet fully developed, was trying to see everything around her and would flinch at any sudden sounds. He couldn't help but smile at the small child, but Sarutobi knew he couldn't keep her with him. Reluctantly the Hokage decided to give her to the orphanage that took in Naruto.
Sarutobi told the owner of the orphanage I'd be visiting at least once a month to cheek up on the two.
Once Sarutobi had returned, the ANBU told him they couldn't find anyone missing a child and even checked the deceased parents if they had any other child but found nothing, which only caused Sarutobi to frown, but that wasn't the only bad news he'd receive. The investigation division also couldn't find anything, it was if who ever left it wanted no traces led back to them.
Sarutobi's old injury ached, telling him something about the child was odd, yet not a threat. He could only hope he wasn't wrong in letting the child stay in the village...
OC P.O.V
I couldn't understand anything that was going on, but when ever I tried to focus on seeing everything appeared to be on fire. They were in many different colours which would cause me to flinch away when it suddenly flared, oddly though when even the large flame that was always near me I felt safe.
I also wondered why the odd fire had people like shapes. When I stopped trying to see my vision became blurry, like trying to see through smog, and the language everyone was speaking was odd. I knew it was Japanese but I knew I wasn't born in Japan. Yet I somehow knew I wasn't in Canada ether.
Suddenly the warm blue flame that has been caring for me the last two days brought me somewhere odd and I couldn't help feel scared of it...
When the man that the blue flame belonged to left me in the arms of a small green flame, which belonged to a middle-aged lady I didn't at all feel welcomed. Her flame was cold and seemed irritated.
The lady didn't hold me properly ether. She just held my small waist with her arm and kept my head smushed to her shoulder.
The lady placed me in a bed which looked like bars with my poor vision. The lady left with a huff and I was left alone. Scared and shivering I wanted to cry but I felt like if I did something bad would happen.
Knowing my sight was still smoggy I started to focus on my sight again. I spotted the flames in the room, even the ones mixed in the air. Thankfully there wasn't a lot of it. When ever there had been a lot of if I found myself having a coughing fit.
Another thing I noticed about myself was that I was a baby. Imagine my surprise. I was beginning to think it was that shadow figure that did this to me, but that would mean that the figure was ether a magical person, or...something else.
The idea made me shudder before I felt my tiny body give way to sleep. I wasn't looking forward to life so far.
. . .
3 month had passed and my vision was normal again and I had tried multiple times to try to stand on my little legs, sadly my muscles have yet to develop enough to support my body wait...not that I was heavy or anything.
The head of the orphanage was a cranky old lady named Momo, and you'd think someone with peach in their name would be a happy person...
Anyway, I would always scowl at the lady when she came by and take me to join the other toddlers in the play area. Now being in a room with screaming children wasn't my idea of fun. I would always isolate myself in a corner and try to look out the window, but mostly lead to giving one of the nurses a heart attack since I would us the kiddy chairs as stools.
Today though I knew I'd be visited by the old man who had the large blue flame and for the first time I'd actually be able to really see him, now that my vision was normal. So I was actually happy to see Momo come grab me from the play room.
She brought me to the meeting area, where adults who wanted to adopt children meet the child.
To my surprise there was another little boy there. I could only see their blond hair as he faced away from me. Momo plopped me down a few feet away from the child and then put up a fence keeping us separated. Kind made me feel like we were in a kennel.
Momo left us alone and I took that chance to crawl over to the fence to try and get a look at the boy. He was playing with a few blocks that were given to him. I focused on the boys flame and noticed it was a yellow colour, but there was an odd red flame in the centre of it. I was brought out of my focus when I heard Momo coming.
Quickly I scurried to my spot, well...as fast as little legs would let me anyway. I made myself look busy with the doll I was given.
"Hokage-sama this way, and as you requested I put the two together." Hearing Momo say Hokage made me freeze my action.
'Hmm...I'm still not quit used to Japanese yet so I might have miss heard.' Nodding with that thought I went back to pretending to play.
"Thank you Momo-san, that'll be all." I heard the old mans voice before I heard the door leading to a this room click open. I also heard Momo's heels clicking as she walked away.
Hesitantly I looked behind me to only drop my doll in shock. The man looked exactly like Hiruzen Sarutobi. The Third hokage.
Rapidly I shook my head. ' No, no way can that be right...he just oddly resembles him is all. Yeah that has to be it! The real Sarutobi is a fictional character in a manga and anime.' Once again I agreed with my thought until he picked me up, making me look him in the eyes.
"Well look at you, you've grown quite a bit over the three months." He smiled at me warmly before putting me in his one arm before picking up the blond little boy in the other. Now my doll was officially on the floor.
Blond hair, sky blue eyes, tan skin, and whiskers... I could only stare at the boy in awe. 'He looks just like Naruto.' I mused to myself as the old man sat down on the bench, making us both sit on his lap.
"Heh, now look at you two, so small..." I noticed he had a sadden look in his eyes and couldn't help petting his arm, trying to encourage him.
Noticing my pat he looked at me and smiled. "Mah, now what to call you little one, I heard you've given Momo trouble when it comes to finding a name for you. The pout I gave him made him chuckle. "Now, now. Naruto, what do you think we should call her?"
'Okay...another coincidence.' I blinked trying to fight off the nagging feeling it wasn't a coincidence. I looked at 'Naruto who was busy biting his block.
'Well, he is only year old.'
The old man chuckled again before stroking his beard. "Hmm...how about Chihiro?" I pouted at him, obviously not liking that idea. Another laugh left him before he asked another. " hmm...ah I know Ichigo! That's we'll call you." He patted my head before I could say no or at least show my disapproval.
Next thing I knew he placed Naruto and me down on the floor.
"You can come in now." Suddenly sensing another presence startled me and made jump.
In a poof of smoke a man in a cat mask was in front of the old man.
"My apologizes Hokage-sama, I didn't mean to intrude."
I watched with wide eyes as the old man who had been kind to me these past 3 month put on a familiar hat that had the fire kanji. Two word went through my mind.
'Oh no.'
