It was a cold night in Konoha and most people were already sound asleep. It was very quiet in the village as a cool wind blew through it.

It had been one week since the kyubi attack. After the burial of their hero, the yondaime Hokage, almost everyone had started doing something to help rebuild the village.

Now they could finally sleep peacefully knowing that they had finished.

The Anbu were doing their patrol but none of them was aware that someone had sneaked in the village and left without them knowing. Having taken advantage of the low security due to the recent events.

Suddenly they heard a loud cry coming from the sandaime's house. Upon hearing the cry the nearest Anbu agents started heading to the the sandaime's house as fast as possible.

-Sandaime's house-

Hiruzen was comfortably relaxing in his living room while reading one of his favourite books itcha itcha paradise.

He was happy to be finally able to relax because he had been working very hard since the kyubi attack. He had been doing so much paperwork that he thought he was going to go mad.

Unfortunately for him his relaxation time was cut short when he heard a loud cry coming from outside. When he heard it he stood up, threw his book on the table and went outside.

He was sure of one thing, those were the cries of a baby. Upon opening the door his eyes fell on a little baby in a basket covered with a blanket.

He narrowed his eyes.

He marched to the Gates and searched for the person who left the baby but all he saw was a black figure speeding away. If he wasn't so tired he would have went after the person himself. He was just gonna leave the work to the anbu.

When he was about to go back in, some Anbu agents arrived stating that they heard a cry and came to check. When they saw the baby, they checked if there were any explosive tags or other things because you never know, it might be an attack on the Hokage. After a moment, the only thing they found was a scroll on which a message was written.

When they saw nothing else, Hiruzen was about to dismiss them when another Anbu arrived.

"Hokage-sama, briefings from the commander!"

"Report" hiruzen said as he dismissed the others with a wave of his hand.

"Unidentified shinobi, detected around the village walls, Failure of attempted capture" he said

Hiruzen frowned when he heard this. He was sure that it was that ninja who left the baby. But that wasn't what troubled him. What troubled him was the fact that that ninja was able to sneak in the village and his compound and then get out with little to no trouble.

"Any abnormal event noted?"

"Negative, investigation is being led at the moment"

"Report immediately if anything is found" he ordered.

"Hai!" The anbu said as he shunshin'd away.

His brain was going over all the reasons why someone from outside would come and drop a kid at his door of all places. Who would actually dare do such a thing.

He decided to think about that later, after all he was sure he was gonna find out sooner or later.

Going back towards the place, he looked at the scroll that was in the basket with the baby. Opening it, he read,

This child shall be a great shinobi and shall finally achieve long lost goals. One day he shall destroy all those that are not to be and bring out all those that were shun.

Hiru-san, This is my last request. Take care of this child for me. Some day when he is ready, I shall come to claim him.

From a long lost friend.

After he was done reading, at first he didn't remember who this lost friend was as he tried recalling. But then when he looked back at the message and what it said, it finally connected.

And when it did, he smiled.

'So you finally got it heh?' He thought before picking up the baby who was already sleeping.

He always trusted his sense, they had helped him in many ways. And Right now they were confirming that this baby had a potential in him that would lead him to greatness.

That night hiruzen decided to train this kid. After all if he was gonna keep him for as long as he guessed he was gonna, then he wouldn't let him be a weak boy when it was time.

He went back in the house and sat on his chair. Then he thought about something. does the baby have a name or should he name it.

When he looked at the scroll he saw something else.

P.s : his name is uzumaki shinji.
