Chapter 1: A new beginning
"Ah Jiraiya! How good to see you again old friend!" said a middle-aged man in his forties. "Its good to see you to Takeharu however I am afraid that I am in troubling times right now" Said a White haired toad sage. These men are Takeharu Kirijo and Jiraiya of the sannin. Takeharu is a middle aged man with an eyepatch over his right eye, he also wears a black suit and a red tie and black vest underneath is a plain white collared long sleeve. Jiraya is at the age of 50, Jiraiya is a tall and well-built man in adulthood with fair skin. He had waist-length, spiky white hair that he usually ties back into a pony tail, with two shoulder-length bangs framing his face. Jiraiya wears a green short shirt kimono and pants of the same shade of green, Jiraiya also wears a mesh shirt underneath the kimono which is visible on his wrists and ankles over the kimono he wears a red haori with two yellow circles on each side, he also wore hand guards and the traditional Japanese wooden sandals, He also wears a hitai-ate with two small horns and the kanji for oil he also varies a large red scroll on his lower back just above his buttocks and is strapped to his shoulders.
"Oh I am sorry to hear that though what seems to be the problem perhaps I may be able to help" Takeharu offered his assistance to his childhood friend who merely nodded and gestured to follow him outside.
Outside the office stood a young boy with the age of 12, The boy had sun-kissed blonde hair, cerulean blue eyes, and three whisker marks on each cheek. The boy stood at 4'8 ft, the boy wore a bright orange jacket with royal blue on the shoulder areas, he also wore pants of the same color and blue open toe sandals these sandals are called shinobi sandals and is applicable to every terrain including wood and cement floors, on his hand are two blue hitai-ates one of them severely dented and with a torn cloth meanwhile the hitai-ate on his right hand has a large slash across the the insignia both of them of the same design which is pretty plain with the only thing standing out is the weird insignia forming a leaf.
From just outside the office door Jiraiya and Takeharu watched the boy "He's their son is he not?" Takeharu asked surprising the old toad hermit "How'd you know?"
"Well for one he has Kushina's face plus he has Minato's hair and eyes and the shape of his eyes are also Kushina's and another reason is if you combine Yellow and Red it makes Orange something that the gaki here has in spades" The one eyed CEO told the Sage who nodded confirming Takeharu's theory "Yes he is. He's name is Naruto Namikaze formerly known as Naruto Uzumaki and is the sole heir to the Uzumaki clan" Jiraiya explained to his friend as he then turned to Naruto "Hey Naruto come 'ere for a second" Jiraiya called his current star apprentice and went over to the two men "Naruto I want you to meet Takeharu Kirijo he's been a good friend of mine even before Orochimaru left the village." Jiraiya gestured to the man beside him who Naruto greeted with a big smile which surprisingly shined despite the situation he is (Which will be explained later) "Nice to meet 'cha Takeharu-san" Naruto smiled at the older man who smiled back 'And he has Kushina's smile aswell' "Nice to meet you to Naruto-kun" Takeharu returned the greeting a shook hands with the blonde, he then turned to face Jiraiya "You said you had a problem you need my help with so what seems to be the problem"
Jiraiya then scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly "Well you see Naruto was banished from Konoha because of those damn civilian councilors butting in into shinobi business again Tsunade tried using her position as the fifth hokage to remove the decision however idiots became bigger idiots and decided to have Naruto executed instead so Tsunade had to choose the lesser of the two devils and give permission to banish him. Don't worry Naruto understood what Tsunade had to do and left willingly and still loves Konoha a bad move on Konoha's part not only did they lose their Jinchuriki but also lost the most loyal Genin they had in exchange for a traitorous arrogant Uchiha that doesn't look like will last long in the ninja world" Jiraiya explained as both men then looked at Naruto who was admiring the view from the building of the Kirijo branch in Iwatodai aka its HQ "So why go here and not some other country in the elemental nations?" Takeharu asked
"Danzo. The kid may be banished from Konoha but that doesn't mean its safe in any other country and cannot be manipulated into being the ultimate hidden weapon for the village so that is why I decided to take him somewhere out of their reach and we already discussed about the favor that I have" Jiraiya spoke out his reasons to which Takeharu nodded at "And so you brought him here to Japan and judging by the way you talk you want me to take him in. Alright I'll take him in after all I'm sure Mitsuru could use a guy like him to talk to possibly even marry just to crack her ice" Takeharu joked as both men laughed at the joke (And who knows it just might come true) "Alright I'll see what I can do" Takeharu said as Jiraiya mouthed a thank you before disappearing in a puff of smoke leaving the man and the kid alone Takeharu then looked at Naruto who was still looking at the view. Takeharu then went closer to the boy and kneeled down to his level and held his shoulder "Say Naruto-kun how does a new beginning sound like to you?" Takeharu asked the blonde making the Jinchuriki's eyes widen before smiling a genuine smile
"Sound good to me Father"
