Hello all, after a brief break in writing, I have decided to return, and write a new story. I will not be continuing any of my other stories, cause they suck, if anyone wants to take them over for me, message me, I'll give it to ya, I just want to be informed first.
Now, before we get to this story, I need to explain a few things. A.) After the Kyuubi attacked Konoha, Hiruzen never retook his position as Hokage, instead, He ordered Tsunade's return to the village to name her the Fifth Hokage, so she is back, and already Hokage.
B.) Hiruzen's Teammates aren't Koharu or Hamura, and I don't want them to exist, so they do not exist, however, his teammates were Danzo, and an OC of mine which makes life better.
C.) you will not see much of the Konoha 12 until Shippuden, because I didn't like writing them when they were Genin, and I don't want to write them as Genin.
D.) Sasuke is a girl. Sayuri. You may guess why. I confirm nothing.
Now, onto the whole reason, you clicked on the story.
-start-
(Konoha, October 11th, XXXX)
Chaos.
Chaos is what one would describe the Council room now because, not even 12 hours ago, The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox had appeared in the village, and destroyed most of the Village before the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze had appeared upon the back of the Boss Toad Summon, Gamabunta, and held the Kyuubi down, stopping it from launching a Biijudama into the heart of the village, then using his signature jutsu, The Hiraishin, to teleport it away from the village and into the large expanses of forests surrounding the damaged village, before dealing with it in a way that is unknown to all but 7 people.
"SILENCE" yelled an old man sitting in a chair in the center of the room, on both sides of him, there were 8 people, with two sitting behind him silently, all of whom were arguing with each other and talking to the Old Man at the same time. This old man is Sarutobi Hiruzen, commonly known as the Shinobi no Kami.
"Lord Third, what will we do! The village is mostly destroyed and most of our shinobi have died, if anyone decides to attack us, we're screwed." spoke a man on Hiruzen's Far-right, this was the Jonin Commander, Nara Shikaku, uncharacteristically panicked,
"Should anyone foolish enough to attack us, then as our duty as Shinobi of Konoha, we will fight back until either we are killed or we repel the attacking force, that hasn't changed for a hundred years, and it won't change for a hundred more." spoke the white-haired man sitting behind Hiruzen, his calm yet icy tone. This was Ace Sky, the Baransu no Shinobi, (Shinobi of Balance) one of the most dangerous men to ever grace the Elemental Nations, only seconded to three men.
"Lord Third" spoked a white-eyed man, known as Hiashi Hyuuga. "What happened to Lord Forth? why hasn't he been seen since he teleported the beast away."
"That is one of the reasons this council was called," Hiruzen spoke, starting to answer the Hyuuga's question, "Near the end of the battle, after the Beast was teleported, Lord Fourth had used a Kinjutsu (Forbidden Technique) to seal the beast away, costing him his life. Because of this, I will be regaining my position temporarily, until the time where my student, Tsunade will return to the village, then I will have her named the Godaime Hokage"
"Sealed?" questioned a Blond Haired Man, Inoichi Yamanaka, "Sealed into what?"
"A child," Hiruzen spoke evenly, "A newborn child,"
Silence reigned at this revelation, one side of the room looking thoughtful at the news, the other looking worried.
"How do we know the Fox won't try to take control-" spoke a pink-haired woman sitting on the far left of the old kage, before the black-haired man behind Hiruzen spoke. "Minato was a sealing expert, all we can do is hope that it will hold." This was the Shinobi no Yami, Danzo Shimura.
"And if it doesn't?" spoke the woman again, in a sharp tone.
"Then we shall suppress the Bijuu, and reseal it again," Spoke Hiruzen, in a tone of finality.
"Who were the boy's Parents, Hokage-Sama?" Questioned the man sitting on the Hokage's Right. This man was Fugaku Uchiha, the head of one of Konoha's Founding Clans.
"The boy's parentage is unknown-" Hiruzen started, before Ace interrupted him, lowly so no one else heard, "Unknown, Hiruzen? We both know that's not true, his parentage needs to be known. We can protect him from any attacks, you know this. Besides, one look at the boy and any Shinobi worth their shit can figure out his father at least"
Hiruzen glared at his teammate, before responding "It is too dangerous, and what if we can't defend him? What happens then?"
"He should be trained, from a young age, to ensure that any attackers would be, at the very least, delayed, so someone can get to him," Spoke Danzo, overhearing the hushed conversation.
"I will not turn their boy into a weapon!" Spoke Hiruzen, appalled at even the suggestion
"He doesn't need to be a weapon, and we both know that, had Minato lived, Naruto would have still been trained at a young age," Spoke Ace, gaining a sharp tone to his voice, now glaring at the aged Kage, "If you don't reveal his heritage, and his Jinchuriki status is revealed to the public, his will be ostracized, hated, and possibly killed by the citizens, and most of the ninja, too."
With a sigh, Hiruzen had to acknowledge his argument, he would have to be a ninja, either way. Why not give him a head start.
"Fine," Hiruzen said after a moment, before clearing his throat, catching the attention of the room, "Minato would never use just any child, he was too noble, instead," here, he paused, then sighed, "he used his Son, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze."
(Five years after the Kyuubi attack, 7 am)
*Knock Knock Knock*
A young, blond-haired boy groaned in his bed, before rolling over and trying to go back to sleep
*Knock Knock Knock*
The young boy grabbed a stuffed animal, a toad, off of his bedside table and threw it at the door from his bed, making a soft thump not even a quarter of the way to the door.
"Naruto, I know you're in there, open the door," spoke an aged voice from the other side of the door
With a groan, Naruto pulled himself out of bed, grabbed his favorite stuffed toy, a fox, and shuffled over to the door, looking through the peephole to see who it was.
"Jiji!" Shouted the suddenly energetic blond, whipping the door open and hugging his grandfather-figure, Hiruzen Sarutobi, not noticing the other man with him.
Hiruzen chuckled, guiding the young boy into his apartment. After The meeting, it was decided that Naruto would be raised by the Third Hokage, and he would get an Apartment in the Sarutobi compound once he was a bit older, to protect him from anyone trying to kidnap or kill him, thankfully, there hasn't been any attempt yet.
After Hiruzen shut the door to Naruto's apartment, Naruto finally noticed the third person among the group, too caught up with his grandfather to even notice
"Who are you?" Naruto asked, his childlike curiosity taking over.
The other man smiled at the boy, before answering his question, "I was Hiruzen's Teammate back when we were Gennin, my name is Shimura Danzo. He told me he was going to visit you again today, and I decided to tag along." Danzo spoke
"Okay," Naruto spoke, before looking at Hiruzen, "Can we go to the park today, can we, can we, can we, can we pleeease," Naruto spoke, bouncing up and down in excitement
"I don't see why not, it is a very nice day today, but you have to get ready first, I don't think you want to go out and run around in your pajamas," Hiruzen spoke.
Naruto ran off to get ready, and within a minute, Hiruzen had to go help Naruto get dressed because he had put his head through the armhole and couldn't get it out, with Danzo chuckling all the while. After Naruto was all dressed, the three of them had walked to the Park. As soon as the Park came into view, Naruto bolted to the Playground section of the park, before going to the swings and, after realizing he can't push himself, ran back to Hiruzen and asked him to push the swings, which the Sarutobi gladly agreed too. Naruto had been having a lot of fun on the swings before he decided to go play in the Sandbox.
In the sandbox, there was a girl already playing there.
"Hi!" Naruto said to the girl, "Can I play with you?"
"Sure." said the girl. "I'm Sayuri Uchiha, what's your name?"
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze!" Naruto spoke.
