A flurry of distinctive noises and hazes of different colors bombarded his senses as he held the small bundle in his arms closer to his chest. Two downed figures zoomed in his eyes, his hands felt numb as the rapid thumping of his heart doubled in its cage. He looked down, eyes devoid of emotion, red tufts of hair obscured his vision as a sleeping tyke nestled comfortably in his embrace. His accelerated beating heart then started to slow down as he gazed at the beautiful creation he held in his arms. His eyes watered slowly as realizations dawned on him like tons of bricks.
Their…
..Their DEAD!
No… Noo…! NO..!
...W-Why?!
His hands trembled with grief. Eyes wide in disbelief.

[Flashback]Years ago...{The Birth of the Kyuubi Jinchuriki}Nightfall dominated the horizon as darkness loomed over the Village of Konohagakure.The heavens above, however, grumbled with thunder as heavy rains poured along the healthy foliage of Konoha.The beginning signs of dusk fills the mourning sky.Clouds flashed with lightning as thunder rumbled across the lands.The atmosphere grew weary and numbing, the abysmal night sky emitted an eerie glow as gloom began to cast a dark chill across the streets of Konoha.It seems the gods and goddesses above are enraged of what will transpire...Civilizations grew even anxious more than the atmosphere, an unprecedented fear started to grow and gnaw in their hearts...... Medical Establishment in Konoha Shuffles of hurried steps echoed from the thin walls of the white building. A group of individuals in lab coats rushed to one of the rooms on the 2nd floor. They talked in hushed voices, seemingly nervous and worried for a crucial event...The group hurriedly stumbled to the emergency room, thunder booming in the background resonating an earsplitting sound as lightning continued to strike the ground for several painstaking minutes.Third POVIn a room with white walls and ceilings, stood an old man wearing a white robe and a strange white hat reminiscent of the clothes for the Hokage of the Village Hidden in the Leaf. The old man would constantly look at the crib placed at the center of the room with a loving and sometimes, a worried look.Anbu Operatives surrounded the room, in a certain manner to protect the child housing the crib that the old man in robes would never leave his eyes on. The room gives out an aura similar to a hospital room but despite the atmosphere it generated, it actually is a nursery room but with less color and toys around. It was, afterall, only a temporary dwelling for the little tyke. Much decorations will further be placed ones dire situations calmed down it seems.The room was big, bigger than it has to be."Waha~ Nya nya hahaha~ mo monnn~" A loud giggling little voice giggled through the room, alerting the people guarding the room. The old man starts to look even closely to the crib, startled by the giggling and cooing sounds."Wah... What could make you so happy you little cute chubby boy~" The old man cooed to what was inside the crib.The old man smiled warmly from the gentle cooing sounds of the baby before his face morphed into a tired weary visage. His eyes held tides of emotions as he continue to observe the child silently. His mind in turmoil for what will become of the future of this child…Sarutobi's POVI look at the baby placed inside the big crib. He was just laying there not making a single annoying sound with his big icy blue eyes steadily focus to the white ceilings not wavering the slightest bit.I'm beginning to get worried because babies do not act like this. They giggle, cry, make funny rumbles, do gross things and play with anything close to their hands. But this little baby boy, was just steadily laying there, not moving the slightest bit and not even blinking. It's scaring me that I'm starting to think that this baby is dead if not only for the constant breathe he takes. It has been several months since I have taken this child under my care. His room is actually-"Waha~ Nya nyaa hahaha~ mo monnn~" The baby suddenly erupts in a fit of giggles with baby sounds amusingly. He was raising his fist in the air and giggling nonstop."Wah... What could make you so happy you little cute chubby boy~" I cooed to the baby and reach for it's hands, previous thoughts already forgotten.The baby suddenly look at me with his eyebrows knotted and his eyes with a curious glint. The baby put down his other hand and reach my hand with his other one managing to only grab my index finger.I started moving my pointer finger to play with his little hands. Moving it left and right. The baby suddenly grab my fingers closely to him and brought it near his mouth.Immediately knowing what he would do, I slowly release my finger out of his tight grasp. Instead, I lift him up in the air and brought him close to me.The baby look at me intensely with those big, innocent icy blue eyes filled with wonder and curiosity. My heart was filled with warmth that spread throughout my body. Holding this baby close and tight near me with glassy eyes blurring my vision.'I would protect you at all cost Naruto. Like my own grandson... No matter what…

2 years later...
Sarutobi's POV
Two years have past since Naruto was put under my care. The boy was growing too fast than any normal boy would. And what I'm really worried about was his attitude. He lacks response on his emotions and also his words.
I'm currently seating in my office with paper works laid in front of me by stacks. I've already finished analyzing them but more would come any time now. I leaned back to my chair and fetch for my cigarette then propped it between my mouth.
My mind wonders back to my unrelated grandson. I've been thinking about him this past few days. He was unresponsive and really quite. I don't know why he had grown up like that. I didn't notice it at first, but now it was very noticeable that every person that would see him would discuss it with me.
Was it because I only let him inside my house and only let my most trusted ANBU take care of him? Or was it also because he haven't encounter or even talked to kids his age? Now that I thought about it... He haven't even seen a single kid his age!
With a new thing in mind, I stood up and immediately went out of my office, but I was halted before I can even walk near the door. Someone opened the door and revealed my assistant clad in formal clothes with stacks of papers in both her hands.
I groaned to myself. I should finished my work fast to be able to come home early. With a new found determination, I started working with the paper work with great conviction and a little bit of… Desperation.
Anonymous' POV
I was hiding beneath the dark shadows, letting them consume my body to hid my physical features. A mask is settled on my face with stroke of paints reminiscent of a dog.
Lord Hokage has assigned me to always guard and protect a boy at all times. He had tasked me with this mission ever since the boy was still an infant. I've been keeping an eye on this boy very long enough to know what he does every day. To which I can say... Is very unnatural for someone of his age.
Every day, the Hokage would go to his office to do his obligations in the village. The Hokage would always talk things to the boy, which would be followed literally by the boy like a robot.
[Flashback]The Hokage walked to the boy, who was sitting at the couch quietly, looking directly forward as if imitating a manequin."Naruto, my little grandson, please be good to your guardian okay? And always keep an eye on him, hm?" The Hokage jokingly said to the boy while crouching infront of him at eye level."Yes, grandfather." The boy said monotonously. The boy only looked at the Hokage with cold blue eyes and hug him in the neck.The Hokage only chuckled at the boys action and ruffled his white blond hair lightly. The boy just sat there and look at the Hokage without any emotion written in his face that even I was scared with the boys always emotionless facade."Bye Naruto~ Wait for me later okay?" The Hokage bid him good bye and left along with the ANBU's hidden in the shadows hot in his trail.The boy just sat there, looking at his grandfather walking out with no emotion lingering on his face. What he did next surprised me so hard that I think I choked on my spit and have a heart attack right there and then.He walked to the window where I was situated, keeping an eye on him, and looked deadly straight into my eyes that I could have sworn I started to think that he had always known where I was hiding.My eyes grew even wider when he suddenly waved his right hand and mouthed some words that almost made me fall out of the tree that I'm currently standing.'Grandfather said that I should take care of you'The boy then focused his eyes to me and nowhere else. It scared the living daylights out of me thinking a kid no older than two years old could sense me at such a very, very young age. I've been reporting things like this cases that the Hokage seemed to don't mind or not notice the difference of Naruto's mannerism from other kids.The boy just stood in front of the window, looking dead straight in my coal black eyes with his icy blue ones, not wavering or even moving a single motion from his position.Both of us just looked at each other, analyzing ones movement and staying still until his grandfather, which is the third hokage, finally comes.The boy didn't move from his position even though he already knows that his grandfather had already came home and just look steadily straight to me.The Hokage opens the door and finds his grandson, finding him standing at the window where I was hiding, not moving and doesn't seem to have the intention to move. The Hokage knotted his eyebrows knowing that his grandson was looking outside the window, not because of the view, but because of the ANBU that he had assigned to look for his grandson. The Hokage walked to the boy turning him around and ask him the question that I too, wanted to ask."What are you doing near the window, my little grandson? Looking at the horizon outside?" The Hokage asked the boy in a soft voice, crouched down to the boys level, and looked softly in the boy's eyes."Grandfather... I've taken care of my guardian like what you said. He's there hiding from me." The boy monotonously answered, pointing towards my direction, shocking the Hokage and also me."Naruto... How did you know he's there?" The Hokage seriously asked to the boy.The boy only looked at the Hokage in the eyes, and look directly to me again.The Hokage then, could only sighed, knowing that the child would not answer him and just led the boy to the dining room to eat lunch. Not before he gave me a glance that could only mean one thing.'Let's talked later'Sighing, I slowly reach for the book in my pocket, reading silently while I'm on my way to the Hokage's tower.
[End of Flashback]
That happened just a few days ago, there is one more thing that have been bothering my mind, how could a mere two year old, spoke so fluently without stuttering for the slightest bit and have such a huge vocabulary that only matured people have.
'Who could be teaching him with knowledge too advance for his age?'
Hokage's POV
After eating with my grandchild, I told him to go to the library because there is someone waiting there for him and also told him to follow what that person would say to him. I've decided that I would put a schedule on what he should do from now on. I got him a tutor to teach him how to read and write.
I'm really getting old now, huh, for I've only thought now to get Naruto his personal tutor and a schedule to follow. I would surely let him go to school a year early because of the potential I see in him. Not every child speak, move, think and act like Naruto.
'Hm... How did I not notice this then? Is old age getting to me now...?'
I thought to myself while shaking my head and sighing at the end.
Her screams haunted his dreams everytime he close his eyes.
End
