"I had heard of konaha before, I believe I overheard my father talking to my mother about it"
Ryuu clung tightly to orochimarus sleeve as there saviors lead them through the large village. Ryuus eyes wandered around curiously "wow! Owo it's huge!" orochimaru didn't say anything he was keeping his guard up watching jirayah and tsunade.
When they got to the hokage tower jirayah came busting into the hokages office "hiya sensei!" the hokage looked up obviously annoyed by jirayahs unannounced entrance "well hello you 2, did you bring my fire wood" jirayah smiles proudly "nope!" the hokage looked puzzled "and whys that?" tsunade bowed respectfully "sensei we found these 2 out in the forest.." she glanced back signaling for them to walk in.
Orochimaru hesitantly walked in keeping Ryuu close to him, the hokage looked over staring at them "..!". Tsunade said "they seem to be hurt and had no were else to go so we thought we would bring them here." The hokage stood up "that's very kind of you tsunade…may I please have some time alone with them" tsunade nodded walking out with jirayah as she closed the door behind her.
The hokage walked over examining orochimaru as he circled around him "hm…tell me boys what are you names" orochimaru said shyly "o-orochimaru, and this is my brother Ryuu" Ryuu gave a small wave "hello" the hokage kneeled down to them "and your last names?" orochimaru responded politely "our last names are Rem sir" The expression on the hokages face went shocked "And is your father izune Rem?" orochimaru nodded as the hokage stood up circling them once more before sitting at his desk "im sorry but there is no place for you 2 here in konaha, im going to have to ask you to both leave immediately"
"No! Please sir we beg you! Don't send us back out there!" orochimaru blurted out as he cringed gripping his side from an injury. The hokage raised a brow "why not?" ryuu held orochimarus hand tightly "we have no home sir were all alone…mommy and daddy went missing during a fire and they can't find us" orochimaru looked down he hadn't told ryuu that their parents were dead yet. Ryuu continued "we have been trying to live on our own but we aren't having much luck…please sir let us stay"
The hokage sighed as he looked over orochimaru and ryuu once more before leaning back in his chair "go have tsunade and jirayah take you 2 to the hospital…ill consider allowing you to stay" ryuu smiled bowing his head "thank you sir!" he helped orochimaru walk out of the room closing the door behind him.
The hokage sighed as a anbu appeared from the shadows "so the Rem children survived the fire?" the anbu nodded "my apologies hokage sama we thought we got them all when we set it…if you want I can go take care of them myself" the hokage raised a hand "no, let's leave them be for now . im not getting any bad vibes from the little one but the other one…orochimaru…im interested in seeing what happens with him" the anbu nodded "as you wish but sir, what if they find out the fire was caused by us" the hokage shakes his head "they won't" he looked out the window watching as jirayah helped orochimaru through the snow by his arm and tsunade carried Ryuu in her arms.
"I never thought about it before but ryuus cuteness and smallness could be very handy sometimes"
