Ch. 3 the return of the fallen part.1

(Day 3 of naruto's capture)

It was quiet in the leaf village, everyone one was enjoying the peace and going about their day. No one had noticed that the village was missing a certain blond haired prankster. All of the genin teams and their senseis went about their day as normal. Kakashi didn't even notice or care that naruto wasn't at team practice; he was to focused on training the emo prince while the pink howler monkey watched in awe of his great emoness. However the hokage was aware that something was off but was unable to investigate in the matter due to the fact the council and his paperwork kept him busy. The feeling sarutobi had been was a feeling of unease; it was telling him that something big was coming.

AN: I will be skipping around a lot in this chapter because it is mostly shows what happens in the village when naruto was captured.

(Two months after naruto's capture)

It was an average day in the leaf village everyone was going about their usual business unaware of the change that would be coming today. A change the caused by the return of the village's greatest hero and the truth he would bring to light. As usual sarutobi was working in his office fighting against a mighty foe, this foe taking the form of paperwork that needed to complete for the village to run smoothly. Sarutobi sighed to himself, for the past two months the village had been unusually quiet. "The village is missing something or someone important." Sarutobi thought to himself. It was unclear to him what was missing, but it would soon become very obvious to everyone on who was missing in the village. Sarutobi looked out in the village hoping to find the answer to his question but found nothing that gave any hints to what or where the answer lies.

Meanwhile at the main gate two familiar faces were once again on guard duty. They were known as the eternal chuunin because they were at that rank as long as anyone can remember, they were Izumo and Kotetsu. They were the duo selected for gate duty that day a job they were both very familiar with. Like sarutobi, they also felt someone or something was missing in the village. "The village sure has been quiet the past two months." Izumo said "Yeah, it feels like the village lost something or someone that made the village seem brighter than before. "Kotetsu replied. A thought then struck Kotetsu with large force, "hey Izumo, have you seen naruto around lately? " Kotetsu asked "No, I haven't seen him anywhere in the village since a couple of months ago now that I think about it." Izumo replied. They both started to get worried about their friend. They had encountered naruto a few years prior and enjoyed his company. They even helped out in some of his pranks on the village just for laughs. Both men were becoming concerned they friend hadn't stopped by to talk to them in two months, naruto usually came to talk to the wonder duo whenever he wanted to talk to some who would listen to him or to rope the duo in on one of his pranks. "After work we should ask the hokage if he has seen naruto before we raise any alarms. "Kotetsu said. "Agreed." Izumo replied

Both men were pulled from their thoughts when they heard a large group approaching them. The group looked like a family the smallest figure was a girl about the rookie nine's age. She had long red hair bright green eyes; she wore a dark blue shirt and shinobi style pants and open toed sandals. She had a green jacket on that a whirlpool shape sewn on the front on her back she carried a katana which looked normal to the duo. The other two figures were both well known to the duo because of how famous they were Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki two shinobi thought to have been killed several years ago. (AN: minato's and kushina's appearances are the same as the animes) Izumo and Kotetsu were confused on how they were still alive but both new this would cause a major disturbance in the village.

Fast forwarding to sarutobi's office he prayed for any kind of distraction from the evil paperwork when he suddenly heard a knock at the door. Sarutobi found that his prayers were answered and told whoever was at the door to come in. Sarutobi however received the shock of his life when his successor walked in to the room with his wife, both thought to have been dead since the kyuubi attack. "You look like you have a ghost old man" Minato said. "He probably has dear, we were believed to be killed on the night naruto was born." Kushina said "How are both of you still alive, you two were presumed dead after the attack. "Sarutobi stated

"I survived the sealing process but was left weakened it, so Kushina took me to a hidden area in the land of fire so I could recover." Minato said "we believed that naruto would be taken care by his godparents until we returned to the village, so where is our son?" Kushina asked "he should be training with Kakashi at this moment in time, I will summon him to the office." Sarutobi stated Sarutobi was worried because minato and Kushina expected naruto to have been raised by his godparents which weren't even close to the truth.

Sarutobi was quickly pulled from his thoughts when he heard the knocking at the door; he called the person to come in revealing said person to be Kakashi. Kakashi himself was caught off guard when he realized who was in the office with the hokage. Shock was written all over Kakashi's face when he saw his sensei standing alive and well in the office. "Long times no see a Kakashi" minato said casually. "Sensei you're still alive, this is unbelievable!" Kakashi exclaimed "it's good to see you too, can you tell me naruto is?" minato asked "we have been waiting a long time to introduce him to his sister." Kushina said "naruto the dead last and worthless shinobi can't be your son." Kakashi said "Don't call our son that Kakashi, he should been raised and trained by his godparents so he should be a fine shinobi." Kushina said "tsunade hasn't been in the village since the night you to died, and jiraiya avoids the boy whenever he comes to the village. " Sarutobi stated "So who was watching over naruto then?" Kushina asked "no one was placed in the orphanage until he was old enough to live on his own." Sarutobi said "Why do you care so much about the demon sensei he nearly caused your death." Kakashi said Kushina then smacked Kakashi across the face her anger quickly rising the surface and her hair taking the shape of nine tails "Naruto is not a demon; he never was he is our son that we asked to be treated like a hero." Kushina stated angrily "Didn't the villagers follow my last request Sarutobi, the one where I asked naruto to be praised for holding back the demon?" minato asked

Sarutobi didn't say anything he just looked away in shame unable to look minato in the eyes. Minato then realized that is son may suffered greatly under the hands of the villagers. Both he and Kushina realized they had to make up for their mistakes as soon as they can. There first step would be to find naruto so they could explain everything and beg for his forgiveness.
