Chapter 1
A sweat wiped from his brow, as he took a sip of water prepared by his wife. A pant of satisfaction escaped his breath as he closed his gourd and laid it unto the ground. Shouts of work continuity soon came to his ears prompted the man to once again wield his tools and set up once again to committing himself in the restoration of the great tree of the fire country.
Surviving three wars and one tailed beast attack, the great hidden village of Konoha was well on its way in restoring its former glory.
Overlooking the great scenery of houses and marketplace, the man behind the reigns of this great village is currently reading through documents pertaining to issues that are either internal or external.
With a puff from his pipe, Sarutobi relaxed after another busy day in the Hokage office that will soon end in a matter of hours.
"Five years," he thought, remembering the incident that took place that only could have been preordained by the Gods themselves. He then called his secretary and had her fill in his place temporary as Sarutobi walked out and into the village vicinity with the intention of just observing how his village is doing especially to the one who saved it.
His destination lies at the hospital, where the boy was currently accommodating. Greeted with smiles and hi's, Sarutobi made his way to Naruto's room which was guarded by his own division of Anbu.
As he got there, the Anbu that were guarding over him were on the laying on the ground. Sarutobi was alarmed by this and immediately checked on his fallen ninja.
"Sad, so sad," was all he could hear from his most feared division of ninja. The hokage quickly opened the door, only to be blasted to the wall by strong tide of negative energy. He struggled to look towards the door as his emotions began to lean towards depression and sadness but his experience as a ninja for decades allowed him to keep his emotions controlled.
"Naruto, please control yourself!" he finally shouted.
The depressing energy finally relented as Naruto turned his gaze upon the door. Sarutobi gulped as he locked eyes with the boy.
Hiruzen had seen Naruto's eyes many times in the past and it scared him to no end but never has he stared into those black eyes before.
However what scared Sarutobi the most was what Naruto said as he stared at him.
"Sad, so very sad" and soon the hokage was thrown into a world of darkness filled with depression and malice.
Nurses and doctors gathered around to find Sarutobi weeping on the floor muttering the same words as the Anbu a few minutes ago. Finally Kakashi sensing the dreaded aura as he did so many times in the past five years; appeared and knocked out Naruto.
Three days later
A meeting was commencing at the hokage tower today as it was the monthly evaluation and assessment for their home village.
"Profits are up, our ninja is steadily filling the holes left by our past battles and our status as the most powerful village continues to be maintained," Councilman Hitoto explained.
All of the council members present nodded while the next speaker stood up to present to the council the troubles that weigh on their minds currently.
"My fellow councilmen, I believe it is time to discuss this much needed subject as it continues to plague our very village night and day" Many nodded once again while some sighed.
"And what problem might that be councilman kukoi?" The Hokage questioned.
Kukoi's face was clearly troubled as he didn't really like to deliver this kind of news to the council but something must be done for the village's welfare.
"Frankly speaking Hokage-sama, the boy is becoming quite hazardous to the village, for the past five years we have reports of people both civilian and ninja falling into immense sadness that not even the counsellor or physicians can keep up with and even some of them succumb to the aura that emanates from the boy, already this year's record of ninja failing due to this problem has risen towards 41 percent"
While the council was chattering into what was said, Sarutobi was still as he tried to figure a solution that will benefit the village and Naruto. He was interrupted when one of his old teammate and now fellow councilman spoke to him "Hiruzen, I know it weighs heavily on your mind to find a balance to the problem but it was be done today or we will risk our village even more," Homura said while his hand in on his friend's shoulder.
Everybody looked towards him as if troubled children looking to a father for a solution.
The Sandaime Hokage sighed and stood up "No burden too great we have shouldered and no sorrow too deep we harboured for the sake of this village, I decree that I shall have him sent to one of the three hermits to be cared for and shall be trained to control over his power that was given by Shinigami-sama himself. Whosoever agrees with this proposition say I concur"
"I concur" the entire council declared.
As soon as they said that, a tide of energy swept over the entire village and immediately they recognize who's the source.
Konoha Medical General Medical Centre
The entire hospital disappeared before all those who suddenly witness the enormous power that emanated so suddenly from the hospital grounds.
After the disintegration of the hospital, all could see the culprit behind its destruction, Naruto.
The five year old hovered in the air surrounded by dark storms and energy that surrounded him like a protective shell.
Sarutobi was there immediately with the Anbu as he witnesses the horrific scene of civilians with bodies gone or parts of them being in the process of disintegration. Surprisingly no blood was spilt but the agony of some thirty over civilians with missing arms and legs was heard clearly.
Anbu not ignoring the danger to the village and most importantly to their leader had no choice but to kill the boy regardless. Hiruzen tried to give the order to stop but it was too late.
Seven of the finest Shinobi of Konoha disappeared without a trace.
Hiruzen immediately gave an order towards the surrounding ninja to evacuate and seal the entire district.
As the people where evacuating, Sarutobi drew a seal on his right palm and started a sequence of seals. Five minutes later, he activated his technique "Divine summoning: Goddess of life Shirohime"
Prior to the populace belief, Gods and divine beings do not appear in a flash of lightning glory but rather have fun appearing in front behind their desired target or summoner but in the case of Shirohime, she appeared casually in front of Sarutobi.
Her features glitter with beauty unavailable to ordinary women. Short snowy hair and skin all covered in milky white and eyes reflecting the light of the Sun and wearing a white kimono tied with a black sash given to her by her twin Tsukihime.
Sarutobi would have gaped at the immense beauty of this divine being if not for the reason for her being summoned. "Sarutobi Hiruzen, son of Sarutobi Tokujin, why have you called me here?"
The Sandaime was trying to catch his breath from the summoning especially if it's a divine contract because it took more than sixty four percent from his chakra pool. He pointed behind the Goddess towards Naruto and merely spoke the words "Save....Him."
Shirohime stared at Naruto and at the power he had radiating around him.
'Another child forged in darkness, what terrible destiny awaits him I wonder?'She thought before bringing her weapon into view.
