Flashback
(A/N Btw I just started shippendu so plz tell me if I got some stuff wrong thx)
"No..." "T-they c-can't be dead" "They can't be" muttered an 11 year old Iruka Umino.
"Umino-kun I'm sorry to say this but it's true the whole squad was wiped out" Said an unknown shinobi in a sad tone.
"Y-you're lying" He whispered. A moment of silence fell over them, "YOU'RE LYING" Iruka screamed as he ran past the guards and off into the carnage.
As he ran down the the steps skipping two at a time he quickly lost all sense of rationality, when he got to the bottom of the hokage statues he was schocke dat the state of the village. Dead bodies were lying on the ground scattered. Some people had died buy being crushed by buildings and objects but most looked like they had died by weapons or jutsus.
Remembering why he had come out here in the first place he took back of in the direction of the battle field. After a few minutes he heard some footsteps behind him but he didn't stop he kept running until he was out of the village gates. He hurried through the forest surveing every group in search for his parents. The footsteps behind him had stopped long ago but it wasn't important to him right now. What was important to him was his parents and the state of their well-being.
As he jumped from tree to tree he stopped at he saw something below, hopping down he gasped in horror as the mangled bodies of his parents lie in the blood stained dirt. He collapsed onto the ground as a sob escaped his throat. Tears streamed down his face as he continued to sob. After a few minutes of crying he got up to head back to his class when he heard a voice from behind him.
"Iruka?" Wipping his head around he was met with the sight of his bestfriend Kakashi, his eyes wide with concern and confusion. "Iruka what are you doing out here it's DANGEROUS" Kakashi whisper yelled at him, Iruka flinched at the tone as Kakashi rarely ever yelled at him let alone used such a harsh tone other than when he was angry at him.
"I- I-" Iruka stuttered tring to find the words but they were in the back of his throat waiting to come out with another sob but he choked it down. "I heard my parents were dead-" Iruka began to explain fresh tears coming into view. "I- I wasn't thinking and I rushed out of the hide out to look for them and- and-" Iruka broke down again collapsing to the ground, he fell into Kakashi who had teleported behind him his face concerned and understanding.
"I'm sorry Iru" Kakashi said holding the younger boy close to his chest in an attempt of comfort. It worked as a few minutes later Iruka was done crying.
"Let's get yo-" Kakashi started but cut his sentence short when he heard a baby crying. Irukas eyes widened in confusion at hearing a baby crying out in the middle of the battle field.
Iruka looked to Kakashi to see what he was going to do but Kakashi was already picking him bridal style and getting into a juming position. In tw minutes they were at the source, but the scene infront of them was heartbreaking. There infont of them lay the dead and pierced bodys of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. The source of the crying was the baby lying not far away from them, "Sensei... Kushina-San.." Kakashi whispered his voice cracking as he tried to control his emotions, after all, a ninja never shows emotion on the battle field.
Iruka started to walk slowly towards the baby as to not scare it. When he got the baby he carefully lifted it up into his arms and started to rock it from side to side, "Ssshh sh sh it's ok it's ok" he whispered in a soft tender voice. The baby eventually stopped crying and was sniffling quietly.
Kakashi walked over to them "Naruto" he muttered.
"Hm?" Iruka said in confusion.
"Sensei said that if ever he and Kushina-san died then he wants his son to be called naruto" Kakashi explained his eyes not leaving the sniffling blonde.
'Naruto' The brown haired student thought 'It suits him'.
The two boys stared at Naruto for a while taking in just how much he looked like Kushina and Minato when a kunai came whizzing towards them. Kakashi grabbed Irukas waist and jumped out of the way of the kunai muttering a curse his face turning to anger. Whoever had the nerve to attack them would surely pay. After putting Iruka down he grabbed his sword from it's holster and got into a protective fighting position infront of Iruka. Iruka was holding Naruto close to his chest, his muscles tense and ready launch into action. Both boys were willing to do anything to protect the baby that had cost the life of the yondaime hokage and his wife.
A shadow flew out from the trees heading straight towards them, Kakashi got into a crouching positon and launched at the figure meeting him in the middle where sword and kunai clashed. Clanging together the blades were pushed back and forth in a fight for dominance. The figures foot launched out to kick Kakashi but he quickly drew back spinning around the figure and slashed the side of his neck. The mans lifeless body fell to the ground with a thud.
As soon as he had flickered to Iruka he took his smaller hand in his own bigger one and started running, pulling the younger with him. Iruka was was running faster than ever just to keep up with ANBU. After what felt like miles they reached the broken entrance of konoha, Pausing to take a breath. Once regaining their air supply they walked into Konoha seeing Ninjas helping families get to the shelters set up all over the village, Men were pulling pieces of rubble off of civillians trapped underneath.
He could feel Iruka tense beside him, and honestly he could understand why, their home had been torn to shreds. Pieces of their childhood destroyed beyond repair and it hurt, it hurt so bad to see all of the dead bodys of ninjas and villagers piled high and one by one having a white sheet pulled over them. After a long and painful walk the two managed to get to the Hokage tower. Walking inside no one payed them any attention as they were busy giving orders or crying and comforting.
Kakashi never let go of Irukas hand and only let go for a second to knock on the office door then quickly slid his hand back into Irukas. A muffled "come in" came from the other side of the door and with his sword still in his hand Kakashi opened the door and entered. The 3rd Hokage was surprised to see the both of them, with him stood other ANBU as well as Irukas teacher. Said boy discreetly gulped as it dawned on him how much trouble he would be in for running of in the middle of a war.
Both he and Kakashi bowed in respect before straightening again and looking at the Hokage. They could imagined how they looked to them with them holding hands kakashi covered in blood and a sword in his other hand and iruka covered in dirt not to mention the baby that was alseep in young Uminos arms. "Ah Kakashi, iruka, who is the young child you-" the third started but wascut off by Irukas teachers screechy banshee voice yelling at Iruka.
"IRUKA UMINO WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU THINKING RUNNING OFF LIKE THAT!" She screamed. Iruka shrunk back not having an answer but as he stepped back Kakashi stepped infront of him.
"With all due respect ma'am (I highly doubt there was any respect for her oh and also before I continue I would like to announce that I HAVE NOT FINISHED NARUTO SHIPPENDU AND I ALSO HAVE NOT GOTTEN TO KAKASHIS FLASHBACKS YET I ONLY GOT UP TO THE PART WHERE SASUKE PUTS HIS HAND ON NARUTOS SHOULDER thank you") I highly doubt you would be in the right state of mind if your only living family was presumed dead" he said his eyes emotionless but only the third and iruka could tell that Kakashi was starting to get angry at this woman.
"Who do you think you are to-"
"That is enough Amaya-sensei" Sarutobi interuppted to which everyone in the room was grateful for. "Now Kakashi and Iruka who is this young chld you have with you" His voice was kind with concern laced in. Surprisingly the baby had not awoken from the banshee teachers screams.
"It's Minato-sensei and Kuchina-sans child Naruto Lord Thord" Kakashi replied softly not moving from his position infront of Iruka.
Sadness flashed like lightning in the thirds eyes as he remembered his fellow Hokage and his tempermental but incredible wife.
"Well then I guess we'll have to"
