Prologue

The Kyubi's attack have landed a devastating blow on Konoha, but the Yondaime Hokage also known as Minato Namikaze, had managed to stop it… at the cost of his own life. With his last breath, the Yondaime Hokage sealed the demon into a child. His child.

"Dear citizens, as you know, the Kyubi has killed many of our shinobi and our citizens and destroyed a huge part of our village. We are forever indebted to the Yondaime Hokage, who gave his own life for us and our village, Konohagakure." The Sandaime Hokage announced, standing on the balcony of the Hokage tower.

An Anbu stepped out from behind him stepped out, handing him an infant, possessing short blond hair, and striking cerulean blue eyes.

The Sandaime Hokage yelled, "Everyone this is the child of the great heroes, Yondaime Hokage- Minato Namikaze and Red Bloody -Kushina Uzumaki-, who carries the burden of the demon inside him. This is the child who is forced to give up his life for the village, our true hero, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze!"

He held Naruto up for the crowd to see, and the entire village seemed to forget their sadness for a brief minute, inspired by hope.

The Sandaime Hokage continued, "As the dying wish of the Yondaime, I shall lead you once again, towards the future, as the Sandaime Hokage!" The old man roared. The audience screamed hysterically, showing that they wanted the aged Hokage to lead them again.

The Sandaime Hokage swiftly turned around, and ordered his eagle masked Anbu, "Eagle, call a council meeting" as he walked into the Hokage tower. The Anbu nodded, and disappeared in a puff of green leaves.

The meeting was held in the Hokage tower, there was a long rectangle table with about thirty seats for the head of the clans, and military and defense leaders.

"What have you called us for, Sarutobi?" A man asked. His right eye and right arm were covered in bandages and he carried a wooden cane.

The pipe smoking Hokage sighed and spoke, "Danzo, if you were to wait until the meeting started, I would tell you, but since you have asked, I shall speak. I have called you all out to ask you what should be done about Naruto Namikaze." At the mention of Naruto, the entire council broke out into whispers.

"I'll adopt him." A woman said. She had brown hair and brown eyes. There were two red stripes on her cheeks to indicate her as a member of the Inuzuka clan. She wore a Jonin flak jacket with black shinobi shirts, pants and sandals. "He is the same age as my second son, Kiba. They could be good friends."

"Tsume, do not hog this hero. Besides, that excuse is useless. Many of us have children the same age as Nauto. He's as old as my son Sasuke, Hiashi's daughter, Hinata, Skika's son Shikimaru, and many more, too." A man spoke calmly, several heads nodded in agreement. He was the representative of the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha had black hair and onyx eyes. He wore a Jonin flak jacket and shinobi under clothes with black sandals. On the back of his jacket was a red and white fan that belongs to the feared and legendary Uchiha clan.

Everyone wanted to adopt the hero of the village.

"I believe that it's the best if I train him, he'll be Konoha's ultimate weapon with the Kyubi." The bandaged man said.

"I know how you train, Danzo, you'll start before he can even walk! He cannot be trained as a Root Anbu. He needs to have his emotions and become a leader like his father! He needs a good childhood, with friends and loved ones, not training day and night!" The Hokage rebutted, giving a steely glare towards Danzo.

"It's not my fault! You're the one who decided to go global with his heritage! Age has made you weak. It seems that I am the only one between as that have the best interest of the village." The war hawk countered.

"I've an idea. Why don't Kakashi and Jiraya train him? They are both experienced ninjas, and they both possess good abilities that Naruto can learn" A man hiding in the corner suggested. He possessed black hair and eyes. His hair was tied in a way that makes his head look like a pineapple. He too, like the Uchiha and Inuzuka clan heads, wore a Jonin flak jacket over black shinobi pants and shirts; his footwear was a pair of black sandals.

"But where will he live?" The Uchiha clan head asked.

"Tsunade should be able to take him in until he comes of age. When that time comes, he shall be given to Kakashi to learn basic techniques such as the Body Flicker jutsu, Clone jutsu, and basic chakra affinity jutsu like Fire Style: Fire ball jutsu. With the blood of Minato and Kushina, he'll be the strongest shinobi ever." The Sandaime Hokage answered.

"There's just something I don't like." The Inuzuka clan head announced.

"What will that be?" Hiruzen asked.

"Although none can refute that Jiraya is a good ninja, he is… somewhat of a pervert. I do not agree to the idea of a pervert teaching our country's future leader." The brown haired woman said firmly.

"I'm not a pervert, I'm a SUPER PERVERT!" A man announced, standing up and posing ridiculously. The voice belonged to a man with long spiky whiter hair. He wore three layers of clothing, a fishnet being the first, the second layer was a long sleeved green shirt with pants, and the last layer was a short-sleeved red shirt. His footwear was a pair of wooden red slippers.

"I guess I can take in the boy, but not before he is seven. In the meantime, I have to take care of business involving a rogue team of 'Jinjuriki Hunters' I hope Kakashi does a good job of training him, cause when I come for him, I won't stop his training until he's thrice the level of his father." Jiraiya said.

The entire council grew silent at the last statement. Minato Namikaze was the strongest ninja they've ever seen, and thrice the level of him is impossible.

"The organization is not what you think it is, I've heard rumors that Orochimaru is in the group, and he's the weakest among them. If Naruto is going to survive, he needs to be able to beat these Jinjuriki hunters." Jiraiya told the council, shocking them.

"Is that all?" Hiruzen asked his student, and the Sannin nodded as his reply. "Dismissed." The Hokage then said.

"Tsunade, that is an order!" Sadaime Hokage said the blond woman, an edge of anger in his voice. She wore a grey sleeveless shirt that barely covered her huge breasts. As for the lower part of her body, she wore a pair of black pants and black sandals.

Tsunade replied, "God! Why don't you people ever tell me beforehand? What am I supposed to do with this thing?"

They were in front of the slug Sannin's two-storied min-mansion. It contained two master bedrooms, four normal ones, a kitchen, a dining room, a study room and a basement. Jiraya had been bargaining with Tsunade for a while now, but the Hokage finally stepped in, and it was over.

Jiraya grinned triumphantly and said, "Have fun with the baby! See you in a seven years!" He then disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Tsunade said to Hokage, "I think that's the first time he has spoken to me and not tried to ask me out. Instead, he hands me a baby…"

Tsunade then turned around and took the baby into her huge house, obviously uncomfortable holding the sleeping child.
