Chapter Seven
The Decision
Hey I'm back after month since I updated. I started on this chapter in the beginning of this month but somehow I stopped halfway and a week later got back into it and type it in on Sunday
The Third Hokage calls in a clan meeting with the other head clans
"Lord Third Hokage, why have we been summoned after the Nine Tails attack a couple hours ago, some of us are grieving for our losses." said a clan member
"calm yourself Fugaku, I have a good reason why." said Third Hokage
"and what is that?" asked Fugaku
"father, who is that man?" Sarada asked as she stood next to her father
"my father and your late grandfather: Fugaku Uchiha." said Sasuke as he stared at his father's back
"to tell you all that Minato and Kushina were both killed by the Nine Tails for saving their newborn son Naruto." said Third Hokage as he hold up baby Naruto who was sleeping in his arms
"how did they die?" asked another clan leader who Boruto recognized easily
"grandfather Hiashi." whispered Boruto
"They sacrificed themselves by making little Naruto the new Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails." said Third Hokage as he reveals the red seal on the infant's stomach "and Minato's final wish was to see his son as a hero to the village"
Everyone was quiet for a few minutes until someone had shouted something
"kill the child." shouted someone
"kill it before it grows up and it will take its revenge on us." shouted someone else
"what?" thought Boruto
"you all wish to defy the last wish of the Fourth Hokage?" Third Hokage shouted as he stood up with the infant in his arms
"remind me to never make him mad." thought Iruka
Everyone was quiet until Fugaku speaks up "so who will raise the child then?"
"I've sent an ANBU to find Jiraiya since he is the boy's godfather." said Third Hokage
"Jiraiya the Toad Sage?, one of the Legendary Sannin that you trained?, he is not the fatherly type when raising kids including when he was the sensei to the Fourth Hokage." said Hiashi
"oh he was the fatherly type to Naruto." thought Kakashi
All of a sudden, an ANBU teleports in and quickly bows to Third Hokage
"raise Monkey, what news do you have?" asked Third Hokage as the ANBU stands up
"Lord Jiraiya says he will be here in a little bit and stay in the village for a while to see his godson but..." said the monkey ANBU
"but he has no time to raise his godson due to his research for his book?" asked The Third Hokage
"more like peeping on naked woman." thought Iruka
"yes but he also said when Naruto enters the second Chuunin exams where the whole village watches, he'll train him as his apprentice." said the monkey ANBU
"he won't be seen in twelve years." thought Sakura
"Lord Hokage, I have a question?" asked a different clan leader
"and what is your question, Inoichi?" asked Third Hokage
"who will raise the boy until then?" asked Inoichi
"I will until he reaches the age of 5 and then I'll get him an apartment and he'll live on his own, I will teach him to read and write, how to talk and walk." said Third Hokage
"of course, my lord." said Inoichi
"also a new law will legal right now, the new generation will not be told of what happened today including Naruto." said Third Hokage
"but the boy has the right to know of his destiny since he is the container of the Nine Tails." said Inoichi as he stood up
"the boy will know when he graduates." said Third Hokage
"stop calling him boy." thought Boruto
All of a sudden a knock was heard. "Enter." Third Hokage says
The door opens to reveal a middle aged man with white long hair and two red lines coming down from his eyes to his chin
"that's dad's godfather?" thought Boruto
"hello Jiraiya my old student." Third Hokage says as he gets up and walks up to his former student
"hello sensei, is this my godson?" asked Jiraiya as he sees the infant in his sensei's arms
"yes say hello to Naruto." Third Hokage says as he hands the infant into Jiariya's arms
As the infant was placed in Jiraiya's arms, the infant instantly opened his ocean blue eyes to Jiraiya and he formed a smile
"he really does look like Minato." said Jiraiya as he hugs his godson
"see Hiashi, Jiraiya is the fatherly type." said Third Hokage
"doesn't make a difference, you said it yourself Lord Hokage, you will raise the child until he is five." said Hiashi with his eyes closed
"that is true but Kushina wants Jiraiya to come every year to check up on Naruto on his birthday." said Third Hokage
"is that true Jiraiya?" asked Hiashi
"yes it is, I'm still doing my spying and my research for my book series, oh and give this to Naruto when he turns nine." Jiraiya says as he hands back the infant and a book
"your first novel that didn't do well in stores." said Third Hokage
"yeah but only a few people like it." said Jiraiya
"me, Kushina, Minato, Kakashi has three copies, Fugaku and Anko." said Third Hokage
"wait, wasn't Anko the goddaughter to Orochimaru?" asked Fugaku
"I have a god sister." asked Mitsuki as he looked at Kakashi
"yes Anko's parents knew your father very well because he was their sensei, and if something happened to them, they wanted your father to raise her as his goddaughter and his apprentice." said Kakashi
"you know she was the psycho lady when she placed us in the forest of Death." said Skaura
"how come?" Mitsuki asked
"your father were twisted in his head, he even got Anko to be twisted, during the Chunnin exams, she threw a kunai knife at Naruto's cheek to make him bleed there and then she licked it off and he gave her a curse mark on her neck just like Sasuke." said Kakashi
"he gave dad a curse mark also." Sarada asks as Sasuke shows her his curse mark.
"anyway sensei, I have to go now but I'll be back in a couple of months." Jiraiya says as he heads to the door and leaves
"come back soon." Third Hokage says to himself as he ends the clan meeting and the leaders of the clans leave
As the clans left, Third Hokage looks down as the sleeping Naruto "well Naruto, let's go to your new home for a few years." as he leaves with the infant and the invisible group
There is no Naruto trivia
