Disclaimer: This story is weird and probably will get graphic and violent. I don't own it, so don't sue, you won't get anything.

Teaser:

"Now I can stop dreaming of being Hokage."

"Why?"

"Because I already was."

"Hold still!" a harsh voice commanded.

"This hurts!" a soft voice complained.

"I know and I'm sorry. But that man is coming and I don't know what I'll do."

"I know…"

"I'm so sorry. You never should have had to come to me in the first place…"

"You didn't have to take me in."

"Yes, I did. That man had no right, even if he is your elder."

"This is my fault…"

"It was never your fault. Not yours and not even mine. I knew what I was getting into when I took you in."

"They're going to kill you because of me."

"No, I'm going to kill them because of you. He had no right."

"Will this work?"

"I don't know," the deeper voice admitted. "They're coming for both of us."

"No," the soft man admitted. "They don't know about me."

"They will. Are you sure you're willing to do this?"

"Yes."

"We can't do anything!"

"He's still regressing, Tsunade."

"Seal him!"

"I did! He's not stable!"

"Oh God, Yondaime, what have you done?" a weary sounding blond doctor breathed.

"What do we do?"

"We… send out word that Yondaime… didn't survive, but his son did."

"Tsunade!"

"What are we supposed to tell them?" she asked wearily. "Strengthen the seal. I'll tell Konaha that the baby survived."

"This isn't right…"

"Neither is what you did, Jiraiya!" she shouted. She knew what he had done and his reasons for it, but she didn't agree with his methods. "God… send out notice that… the boy is a jail for the fox. The fourth is dead, understand?"

"What do I tell everyone about… the boy?"

"That the fourth had a son."
