The Week of The Attack
No one saw it coming and even years later the terror that filled all the inhabitants of the leaf would never be forgotten. After all how can you forget the senseless slaughter of
your friends, family, and fellow villagers. The demon fox was too much and the protector of the village could only think of one way to save everyone he loved. "At least my two
children will still have their mother, so I guess my sacrifice will not be in vain," the Yondaime said. He accepted the fact that death was a apart of this equation.
Arashi went to see his wife as she gave birth and he quickly explained his planned for the "death" of the demon fox. She could not bear the fact that one of her precious
children would be a SACRIFICE and that with all the power the fox has the Shiki Fujin technique still had a chance of failing. With eyes downcast and tears streaming down her
face Katana relinquished hold on Naruto resigning her child to his fate. "Stay alive Katana, the children will need their mother in order have as normal a life a possible", said the
Yondaime with eyes resolute, full of confidence yet hiding all the pain that one man could hold. Turning from his wife's grief stricken face Arashi quickly returned to the battle field,
his child in hand and his favorite summon Gamabunta underfoot. He knew that his only other son Sezume was in the other room sleeping and he hoped that letter he left would
explain everything to his son.
It was done and the village was safe but somehow Old Sarutobi knew that the village had lost a great deal and it would be sometime before his village was back on it feet.
He carried the crying child in his hand, first he would break the news to the family and then he would tell the village of Arashi's heroic sacrifice. Walking into the residence of the
Kazama Clan he was shocked to see Sezume crying in his mothers still and lifeless hand. In such a short time this boy had lost his entire clan except his little brother. What do I do
now that this boy has lost everything he has ever known. No matter what I will not separate Naruto from Sezume. They will need each other if they are to ever live on.
Placing a hand on the boys shoulder, the boy suddenly lunged into the Third Hokages lap. " Mommy's not saying anything right now, the doctor said she...she is not alive
and she...she," nothing else came because the boy could no longer express his pain with words. "Where's daddy, I want to see my...my daddy", Sezume said. " Sezume-kun I am
sorry but your father died today protecting the village from the monster that took so many lives from our village. He told me to give you this letter that would explain everything to
you." Placing the letter in the boys hand the Hokage signaled for one his most loyal shinobi's to keep watch on Sezume as the boy was in a fragile state. Said Jonin walked into the
room and immediately he wanted to be anywhere but there at the moment. This was his sensei's house, the man who took the place of his own father after his death. But looking at
his nephew, he knew this was the place he belonged at the moment. "Kakashi take the boy and his brother to your apartment and I will have the placed cleaned up", said the former
Hokage in a very soft and caring voice
The Hokage performed a sleeping jutsu on Sezume and then procceded to inform his viallage of how the Demon Fox was defeated. Despite the best wishes of the
Yondaime the hatred that the Hokage felt pouring off the village gave him all the evidence needed to realize that the sons of the Yondaime would not have and easy life, especially
since all the other members of Uzumaki' clan had died. The boys had no family left except his former student Tsunade but the sources needed to find her at the moment were clearly
missing and he was also well aware that his other lecherous student would be away for sometime while he watched the movements of S-Classed criminal Missing-nin Orochimaru.
For now Old Sarutobi had to do all he could to get the village back on its feet and try with all his ability to keep the identity of the Kazama brothers a secret.
A tired and heartbroken Sezume opened his eyes hoping that it was all a dream and that his mother and father would be there by his side along with his brand new baby
brother, but all he saw was unfamiliar surroundings but a familiar face. " Hi uncle Kakashi, so its true that mom and dad are never coming back and its just me...me and Naruto," the
boy whispered. "No you have me and the Hokage so your not alone Sezume-kun, we will do everything we can to help you get over the pain", Kakashi said sighing. The Jonin was
about to continue on but Naruto's crying told him that the baby needed his attention and Kakashi knew in that moment that he was not cut out for fatherhood in his mind.
Why did you have to die Arashi-Sensei? I don't know if I have what it takes to take care of your sons at this point.
While Kakashi took the time to check on Naruto, Sezume slipped outside the apartment and proceeded to walk the streets of Konoha that he was never allowed to, except
with the escort of his family. He still hated the fact that his father wanted to keep him a secret until he was old enough to join the academy, but all he wished for more than anything
was to see the bright smile that his father gave the family and he yeaned for the hug that his mother gave that would reassure him that everything would be okay. The boy was in such
a bad way that he had no idea of the direction he was headed and he soon found himself on the outskirts of the Uchiha Clan. Feeling a hand on his shoulder Sezume turned his head
to see a boy about his age with the famed Uchiha insignia on his shirt. "What are you doing around here," the boy said to Sezume. "I...I got lost walking around the village, sorry I
did not mean to bother you and your family". Family, that word just brought tears to his eyes. "Hey your that Uzumaki kid aren't you and may I ask why your crying," the young
Uchiha said. " My brother and I lost all of the members of our clan including my dad and mom recently" spoke Sezume trying to hide his emotions. " My names Itachi and I would
like to be your friend if you think your all alone is this world now" Itachi said with a small smile on his face. Sezume was startled how did he know exactly what he felt without being
told. "Thank you Itachi, but I think I need to get back to my brother. I just don't know where my uncle Kakasi lives, I'm completely lost". "My father runs the Police station
nearby, I think he can help you find your uncle so follow me, Itachi said smiling.
