Jinchuriki Status & Time Skip
Hiruzen Sarutobi, the recently reinstated Sandaime Hokage, sighed in exasperation as he looked out over the village that he calls home. The damages from the attack of the Kyuubi and the Hachibi weren't as great as he expected them to be so the buildings of the village only required minor repairs, however a great deal of shinobi and kunoichi lost their lives. Even their beloved Yondaime and his wife died in the sealing of the beasts.
But something about the attack made absolutely zero sense to the old man. He can't really speak for the Kyuubi, but the Yamata no Orochi is normally a more neutral demon and doesn't spend a lot of time with humanity. It prefers to live in seclusion in the mountainous regions, as far away from humans as physically possible. So what drove it so close to Konoha and into Kyuubi's path?
Was it perhaps a dispute over food? Territory, maybe?
Either way, it's caused a great time of weakness and mourning for everyone in the village. Himself included, as his wife, Biwako Sarutobi, was murdered before the Kyuubi and the Hachibi ever began their attack. But he has a feeling the the attack of the two demons and the murder of his wife are connected somehow. The aged Hokage just can't figure out how…
He looked over to a pair of cots in his office where the two children were sleeping peacefully. The seals were fully visible, both being reinforced by the Death God himself, and still acclimating a small portion of the Bijuu and their chakra to the still children's still developing Chakra Coils. This way the kids will be able to fully utilize the potent Youkai of the demons within them in the future without harming themselves.
He couldn't stop a smile from forming as he looked at the sleeping youngsters, not even a full day old yet. One of the children was the son of the Yondaime, Namikaze Minato and his wife Uzumaki Kushina. They had named their son Naruto, meaning Maelstrom, after the main character in his student Jiraiya's first and only non-perverted book titled Tales of a Gutsy Ninja, making the Gama-Sennin the lad's godfather. Little Naruto has many of his mother's facial features like her nose, chin, and cheekbones, but he got his father's hair and eyes. Golden blonde hair that's already showing signs of spiking up in all directions, and deep blue eyes. He also has three whisker shaped birthmarks on both sides of his face, a trait he got from his mother being the Kyuubi no Kitsune's previous Jinchuriki. That, or they're the result of sealing the fox into him.
The other boy is a little different, however. This child is the son of two members of the Uchiha clan: one of Konoha's founding clans and the clan that wields one of the Three Great Doujutsu. A Kekkei Genkai known throughout the Elemental Countries as the Sharingan, or 'Copy-Wheel Eye'. Like most members of his clan, the child was born with the iconic black hair of the Uchiha, but unlike most Uchihas, the boy has ocean blue eyes instead of their trademark onyx black eyes. He does however have the same pale skin that most members of the Uchiha clan seem to have written into their genetic code.
For some reason, the boy's parents decided to name the boy Jaune. A sort of a play on an old war hero from a time when Chakra was never utilized by man and Jutsu didn't exist. A hero named Joan of Arc. Though for what reason, Hiruzen doesn't know. All he knows is that like Naruto, Jaune also has a physical trait that shows he is a Jinchuriki. One that is a little disconcerting to the aged Hokage. He has markings over his eyes that are much like those of his fallen pupil, Orochimaru the Snake Sannin. But while Orochimaru's eye markings are purple, little Jaune's markings are black.
Hiruzen frowned as he realized something pertaining to Jaune and Naruto.
'If I reveal these children's status as Jinchuriki then everyone in the village will be out for their blood. But I can't simply lie to the village either. It was Minato's last wish that these children be seen as heroes, but there's a very high chance that they'll be seen as the demons themselves. Then of course there's the matter of my old teammates. Knowing Danzo, he'll want both children put in his ROOT program in order to turn them into emotionless drones to be used as weapons for the village, but I can't allow that to happen either. What can I do? What SHOULD I do?'
Hiruzen was broken from his thoughts when he heard a knock at his door. And from the sound of it, it seemed to be rather frantic.
"Enter."
The door opened to reveal the Hokage's secretary, a young woman with brown hair done up in a bun who looked to be barely in her twenties. Her expression seemed to be distressed and she looked to be worried for the children in the room.
"Sandaime-Sama, the council has called an emergency meeting and they're requesting the presence of yourself and the children." she reported.
Hiruzen's eyes narrowed ever so slightly. He quickly dawned the Hokage robes and hat and picked up Naruto while motioning for one of his hidden ANBU, a purple haired woman with a cat mask, to pick up and carry Jaune.
"Very well. Return to your post. I'll send one of my ANBU to tell the council that I'm on my way." Hiruzen instructed.
His secretary bowed and promptly left to return to her desk, where she would continue to combat her own share of the paperwork that was no doubt caused by the attack of the Kyuubi no Kitsune and the Yamata no Orochi. Once she left, the cat masked woman looked to her leader with concern underneath her mask.
"Hokage-Sama, do you think the council somehow found out about the boys and their tenants?" she asked.
"It's highly possible, Neko. I know for a fact that Danzo kept his ROOT up and running even though I ordered him to disband it a few years after I became Hokage, so it's likely he snuck one of his agents into my office and this agent gave him the news about the two." Hiruzen replied.
He sighed through his nose before looking at the two sleeping babies. Naruto was snoring softly in Hiruzen's arms while Jaune began to suck his thumb in his sleep, a sight that almost had Neko cooing at the cuteness of the baby if not for her ANBU training allowing her to just barely keep her emotions in check.. The aged Kage had to smile at that behavior. It showed that while Neko was an ANBU and had to keep her emotions in check for the kinds of missions she does, she's still human inside.
It's one of the reasons why Hiruzen ordered for ROOT to be disbanded in the first place. Danzo's training essentially destroys all traces of humanity within a person that is inducted into the program, turning them into emotionless killing tools. Something that goes against the very ideals of their teachers, the Shodaime and Nidaime Hokages: Hashirama and Tobirama Senju.
"But regardless, I suppose their status as Jinchurikis was bound to become public knowledge sooner or later. For now though, let's go and see what the council has called this meeting about."
Neko nodded in acceptance of her leader's words and adjusted Jaune in her arms so he could sleep easier. Without a word, she followed Hiruzen out of the Hokage's office and to the Council Chambers. Better to see what the old mummies want this time.
***Konoha Council Chambers…***
The Konoha Council was composed of several men and women who made up two sides to one giant council. They were created by the Nidaime Hokage to act as advisers to the Hokage in times of peace as well as to aid in both shinobi and civilian matters throughout the village. The Shinobi council was composed of the shinobi clan heads, and they typically dealt with matters pertaining to the village's military forces.
The clan heads consisted of the clans from the Uchiha, Hyuga, Inuzuka, Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Aburame, Senju, and Sarutobi clans. However, the current head of the Senju clan hasn't been back in the village for a long time and Sarutobi's son, Asuma, has yet to come of age and take up the mantle of clan head. So these two clans are rarely included.
However, the civilian council is composed of merchants and business owners who generally manage the income and trade of village goods with other villages. Now lately, the majority of the civilian side of the council along with the elders of the council have been trying to usurp the Hokage's power and basically turn the Hokage into a figurehead with no real power. And Sarutobi has been thinking for a long time 'that's gotta stop.'
However, while the council is there to advise and debate, it is ultimately the Hokage who has the final say in what goes on in the village. And this was going to be one of those times.
Finally Hiruzen and Neko arrived in time to get the meeting underway.
"Now that everyone is assembled, let's get this meeting started." Hiruzen started. "First and foremost, it is with great sorrow that I inform you all of the death of our beloved Yondaime, Minato Namikaze."
Just about everyone on the council lowered their heads in respect for the dead. Minato was good friends with all of the clan heads, as they were all in the same graduating class. So to hear of his death like this and so soon into his reign as Hokage was tragic, to say the least.
"Therefore, I am stepping out of retirement and retaking the mantle as Konoha's Hokage until a suitable Godaime Hokage can be found." Hiruzen continued.
"This is probably for the best." said the head of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi.
Hiashi Hyuga is a typical looking Hyuga male with long straight brown hair, pale skin, and a serious demeanor that can make him seem rather cold and apathetic. Like all members of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi has pupiless white eyes that would normally give off the impression of blindness. However, if one were to look again or do their research on the three great Doujutsu, one would realize that it's actually the ancient Kekkei Genkai of the Hyuga clan, the Byakugan: the 'All Seeing White eye'. Due to the attack on the village caused by two demons at one time, Hiashi, like all of the other clan heads, is dressed in the standard Jonin uniform for Konoha shinobi.
"I agree with Lord Hyuga," said the Uchiha clan head, Fugaku. "With so many of our ninjas dead after that attack, it will take Konoha many years to rebuild its forces back to what they once were. For now, we should focus on rebuilding and replenishing our lost forces."
Fugaku is a man who has the standard look of the Uchiha clan. Black hair, onyx black eyes, pale skin. The only difference is that his Jonin uniform has the red and white Uchiha fan symbol on his left shoulder. Now, it's very rare that the heads of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans agree on anything. Even when on the field of battle. But when they do, it always spells trouble for their enemies. And this is no exception.
"Our numbers were dwindling before with all of the higher class enemies we were facing on missions, and now this!" groaned the Akimichi clan head, Chouza.
"Nevermind that. What I want to know is why you brought two babies to this meeting, Hokage-Sama." added the Inuzuka clan head, Tsume.
Chouza, like all members of the Akimichi clan, is a very heavyset man with squinty brown eyes and long spiky red hair that looks a lot more like a mane than ordinary hair.
Tsume is the matriarch of the Inuzuka clan, a clan whose Kekkei Genkai pertains to dogs. This bloodline gives them heightened senses, feral instincts that really come in handy in a fight, near unmatched prowess in Taijutsu (hand to hand combat), and a deep connection with canines such as domestic dogs and wolves. So deep in fact, that every Inuzuka forms a connection and bonds with a dog or wolf to act as their Ninken.
Tsume herself is a very wild looking woman with spiky brown hair and a feral appearance, including slit pupils in her eyes and longer than average canine teeth. One of which was poking from her upper lip. She also has dark skin and the trademark red fang marks on both sides of her face. Her Ninken, a black and white canine with a wolfish appearance named Kuromaru, was seated beside her with his head tilted to the side as he looked at the children with curiosity in his eyes.
Hiruzen sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He should have seen this coming a mile away.
"Before Yondaime-Sama died he managed to defeat the Kyuubi no Kitsune and the Yamata no Orochi. He did this using the Shiki Fujin in order to seal the two Biju into two newborn children, thus turning them into Jinchuriki. Those children… are these two right here." Hiruzen said as he and Neko presented the children to the stunned council. "I present to you the heroes of Konoha, Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Jaune!"
At first, no one dared to say a word. These two infants had been turned into demon containers for two of the most dangerous demons in all of existence? Now, the shinobi side of the council was not ignorant to how seals work. They can tell the difference between the metaphorical kunai and the scroll it's sealed in. Even Haruno Mebuki, a retired kunoichi, knows how seals work and that the children aren't the demons they contain.
But the rest of the council wasn't so open-minded.
"The demons live!"
"Kill them now before they destroy us all!"
"Send them back to hell where they belong!"
"Burn that wretched snake alive before it regains its power!"
These were but a few of the various shouts of anger and hatred that erupted from the civilian side of the council. Or at least a vast majority of it. Mebuki could only look at her fellow civilian council members with an air of utter disgust. How dare they say things that pertain to killing innocent children?! It is sick and inhumane!
And it looks like she's not the only one who thinks so. Two other civilians looked like they were going to throttle their fellow council members. These council members are Ishida Mitsunari and Oda Oichi, named after two of the great warlords of old. Mitsunari owns a shinobi surplus store that's a family run business and very successful, while Oichi is the nurse at the Ninja Academy. She was one of the many who thought that the shinobi system for the academy focused too much on theory and not enough on the practical aspects of being a ninja.
She, along with those who agreed with her, petitioned the Yondaime to change the academic system of the Ninja Academy so that it was based less on books and more on actual shinobi training. But with his death, she's not so sure that's going to happen.
Luckily for everyone in the room, Hiruzen had enough of their attitudes and was quick to silence them by unleashing a small amount of his Killing Intent, but was careful not to direct it at the sleeping infants. He idly thought that these two kids were some very heavy sleepers if they could sleep through THAT kind of outburst.
"That is enough out of all of you! You are speaking of killing two innocent babies! One of them being the Yondaime's legacy! They are merely the containers, NOT the demons themselves!" Hiruzen growled.
An elderly man who looked close to Hiruzen's age with a single visible squinty eye, an 'X' shaped scar on his chin, and the majority of his left side wrapped in bandages, stood up from his seat and spoke in a near emotionless voice.
"Sandaime-Sama, I would like to motion to have the children placed in my care so they can be trained to be the perfect weapons for Konoha."
"Your motion is denied, Danzo. These children will not be turned into emotionless drones for your ROOT, and that is final! If I hear one more mention of doing so, you and all those involved will be executed on grounds of treason! Do you understand?" growled Hiruzen.
Had it not been for his serious emotional training, Danzo would have shown at least some anger at his request being denied. But you could see in his eye that he was seething on the inside. He didn't respond to Hiruzen's question, but he did give a nod that showed he understood. As he sat back down, Hiruzen began to speak again.
"Now as I was about to say before I was so rudely interrupted," he began as he glared at most of the civilians. "Naruto and Jaune are to be seen as heroes of the village, and no one who is too young to understand is to know what is sealed within them. Therefore I am passing a law. Naruto and Jaune's status as Jinchuriki is to be kept a SSS-Class secret. Failure to keep this secret will result in immediate execution! Also, Naruto will be going by his mother's last name for the time-being. He shall be told of his heritage when he turns sixteen or becomes a Chunin. Whichever comes first. Kami knows what Iwagakure would do if they were to learn that their most hated enemy had a child."
The civilian side of the council, besides Mebuki, Mitsunari, and Oichi, didn't look too happy about the fact that the 'demon spawns' weren't going to be killed or weaponized but they knew that there was nothing they could do about that without being killed themselves. But they did agree to at least keep Naruto's heritage a secret.
"Hokage-Sama, perhaps we should adjourn this meeting for tonight. It's quite late and I'm sure Jaune would like to come home and be with his family." Fugaku suggested.
Hiruzen nodded and adjourned this meeting before having Neko hand Jaune over to Fugaku. The older Uchiha smiled as his youngest child seemed to instinctively know that he was his father.
"Come along, Jaune. It's time to go home." Fugaku whispered to his son.
With that, he walked out of the council chambers after the rest of the council. He didn't care if his child was a demon container, he was going to make sure that his son grew up loved and with the care and affection of his family like he should be. And even if he didn't know how just yet, he was going to make sure Minato and Kushina's boy was given the same treatment as his son.
***Time Skip…***
It's been five years since young Jaune and Naruto were welcomed into the world and they've grown up in very different ways. While Naruto was initially taken care of at the Konoha Orphanage, Jaune grew up with the love and kindness of his family. He especially loved spending time with his older brother, Itachi and his father. They've taught him a few things about being a shinobi, which is the path that Jaune has decided to take in life.
While his family wished he would have choses a safer career path than being a ninja, like becoming a baker or a blacksmith, they didn't deny that such a choice was inevitable. He's literally got the blood of two of the village's top ninja flowing through his veins. So Fugaku and his wife, Mikoto, started off with teaching Jaune some basic kunai and shuriken throwing techniques as well as starting him off on the three academy Jutsu needed to pass the graduation exam.
All that said, life for the two young Jinchurikis wasn't without its challenges.
After that meeting five years ago, someone (meaning the ignorant civilian council members, Danzo, and his cronies) let it slip to the rest of the village that Jaune and Naruto were the Jinchurikis of the Kyuubi no Kitsune and the Yamata no Orochi. This led to a vast majority of the civilians and most of the shinobi to hate the two out of the belief that they were the demons reborn.
This, of course, led to the parents of the next generation doing everything in their power to influence their children to hate Naruto and Jaune just for being demon containers. It didn't always work. As a result, since no one would go to the orphanage to adopt any children since Naruto was living there, the matron of the orphanage was forced to kick him out a week ago. Luckily he was found by Mikoto on her way home from grocery shopping with Jaune. She and her clan have been taking care of him ever since.
It's not all bad. The two of them are great friends with several children. Mostly the clan heirs. Inuzuka Kiba, Hyuga Hinata and her cousin Neji, Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, Aburame Shino, and Haruno Sakura. They also made friends with a couple of orphans named Higurashi Tenten and Rock Lee.
The group can often be found playing with each other in one of the clan compounds or at the park under the watchful eye of several of their parents. This way they could make sure the stupid people of the villagers didn't get any stupid ideas. Like that time a drunk civilian was walking by and threw an empty sake bottle at the kids, seeming to be too drunk to care that the children of several other clans were there as well. The bottle had actually missed his intended targets and hit little Hinata in the head, drawing blood and knocking her out. His exact words were, and I quote, 'the demonnsssshh needs to DIE!' ...And they were his last ones too, as one of the ANBU had decapitated the drunky for breaking the Sandaime's law.
Fortunately, not too many more incidents happened after that. Nowadays, the villagers would just glare at the kids in passing as they knew they couldn't do anything to harm the resident demon containers. Not without being killed by the Uchiha clan and the ANBU that patrol the village. That's a risk they weren't so willing to take.
Currently, we find Jaune playing in the family room with Naruto, several of his toy shuriken and dinosaurs on the floor around them. It almost looked like a battle as Jaune and Naruto were acting out a fight between a red and blue ninja and a triceratops. Jaune was the triceratops and Naruto was the ninja.
"I'm home!" called a familiar voice.
One that instantly had the 'terrible two', as some people called them, running full speed to the door just in time to bowl over a certain Uchiha prodigy.
"ITACHI-NII!" cried the two children.
The black haired teenager, though expecting the tackle, didn't quite brace himself in time and ended up flat on his back from the impact. He groaned with anime swirly eyes as he tried to regain his bearings.
"Uhhh… hey, squirts…" groaned a dazed Itachi Uchiha.
Itachi looks a lot like a typical Uchiha male. Pale skin, black hair, onyx eyes, you know. The works. However, Itachi has these two lines on his face going down from either of his slanted almond shaped eyes. And his hair is longer than most boys so he keeps it done in a warrior's wolf tail.
Watching from the kitchen with a smirk on her face was Mikoto Uchiha, Jaune's mother and the current Uchiha clan matriarch. She's pretty much a typical housewife, but don't let that fool you. She used to be one of the most feared kunoichi that Konoha has ever produced. And she's not afraid to use lethal force if someone threatens her baby boys.
She put the camera away and pocketed the picture she took in her apron before returning to the dishes as she listened to Jaune and Naruto babble on and on while trying to get Itachi to play with them. She knows that he will, as the homework they give at the academy is very easy so he never has trouble with it and can get it done in five minutes flat when he wants to.
'Oh, my little Jauney, you are going to have your Onii-San wrapped around your finger. And I'll have the blackmail - I mean, family album - to prove it!'
Mikoto couldn't stop the giggles from escaping as she watched Itachi walk towards the stairs with his little brothers hanging off of him like a pair of baby koalas, his expression being a mix of amused and exasperated. She hoped her children, blood and adopted alike, would forever cherish these moments in their lives.
