Outskirts of Konohagakure no Sato (Village Hidden in the Leaves)
October 10 2300hrs (11:00 p.m. night time)
Outside of a shinobi village, known as the Hidden Leaf Village, late on a cold autumn night. When a lot of people are supposed to be dreaming sweet and peaceful dreams. Lives in fear. A monstrous breast runs ramped. Standing three-stories tall, with nine terrifying tails destroying everything in its path. It howls menacing at the full moon. The shinobi and Anbu forces tries to hold back the nine-tailed fox demon. The Kyuubi no Kitsune, one of the nine bijuus, Lord of the Demons. The ninjas of the Leaf, hoped that the renowned half-demon clan, known as the Takedas, can defeat the beast, but even if they fought heroically, they could not kill the fox, this became apparent very quickly. The only thing they can hope for is a miracle and unknown to them one was coming to them sooner then they think.
“Takahashi-sama (gasping)… Hokage-sama…” the very exhausted Anbu member tried to speak.
“Breathe in slowly young man.” said Takahashi.
“(gasping)… he said, he have plan in dealing with the fox.” The old blonde-haired man nodded and in lightning speed rushed to the Hokage is at. When he got there something caught his attention, he was not alone. The young Hokage not being alone is not suspicious at least the bit. He was with his usual entourage, Takahashi's eldest son, a fourteen-year-old Anbu black ops member, Takeda Kenshin, along with the Hokage's ex-student and Anbu black ops member, fourteen-year-old, Hatake Kakashi. Takahashi since, like all experienced Takeda clan members, scented or smelled a really young not-born-to-long-ago life. In the Hokage's right arm cradled a young infant. A grim thought crossed the old Takeda mind, `I hope he is not going do what I think he's plan on doing.' He can also scent some sadness coming from his son. Takahashi walked up closer to them to better hear about this… plan.
“Arashi-san… what is this …plan of yours?” Takahashi said with a little bit of disgust in his voice.
Arashi noticed the disgust in his voice and grinned his known mischievous smile. He quickly explained the Shinigami Fuujin no Jutsu (Death Reaper Seal Technique) and how it involves his only child, Naruto. Takahashi interrupted him, “If you do that your son will not only be left with a heavy burden, but he be most likely persecuted to the highest degree-…”
“DONT YOU THINK I KNOW THAT!!” Arashi yelled, then claimed down, “And besides wasn't you, who said that if your clan cannot stop the demon that we'll need a miracle… while my son is that miracle.” Arashi quickly told Takahashi his part of the plan, he reluctantly nodded. Arashi looked over to his former student, “Kakashi-san I would need you to be with me when I summon Gamabunta.” He nodded. “Kenshin-san in my home… our the scrolls of the Kazuma clan, I want to be given to Naruto when he is old enough. Also there are some letters with some people names on it. Make sure you take the scrolls to your compound I believe they'd be safest there.”
`Arashi-sama' “Hai…” After that, Kenshin sped off to the Kazuma compound. “While I guess its time…” said the Yondaime Hokage. The other two men nodded. The three went to where the beast was.
****Kazuma Compound****
Kenshin finally made it to the Arashi's home. Arashi lived in a standard samurai-style dojo near the Uchiha district. The place was completely disserted. The young shinobi could hear the raging battle with the nine-tailed beast. Suddenly, two massive charka surges nearly knocked him down, `cause it so powerful and intense. Only one thought came to the boy's mind. `The plan must be going into effect…father…please be don't died.' Kenshin went to the master bedroom of the dojo. He found what he was looking for several scrolls of the Kazuma clan on the bed along with the letters the Yondaime spoken of. Kenshin noticed one was addressed to him.
~
Dear Kenshin-san,
You're probably in the compound now. I'll make this quick. I want you to do me a favor, my son, Naruto, will be needing a father figure after I'm gone. You must be in shock by now and don't you have to worry about going though the whole adoption process it is been taken care of. I know you won't let me down. Good luck in your future kid and don't forget to live great.
Your mentor,
Kazuma Arashi, the Yondaime Hokage
P.S. If my old sensei Jiraiya by some divinely royal fuck of fate becomes Naruto's teacher, please save him from becoming a perv. One Jiraiya is good enough.
~
Kenshin was in complete in shock that, his mentor and inspiration, has asked him to be Naruto's adoptive father. Like he had a choice in the matter. He put the letter behind his Anbu armor and quickly place the other letters in his ninja pouch. Then something caught in his attention. He listened… silence. Peace. He noticed that the demon's spiritual and charka signatures were gone. He rushes out of the compound, he expected not to feel Arashi's spiritual and charka signatures, but for some reasons he could not feel his father's trademark signatures, he could either be unconscious or…dead. Kenshin was hoping his father was unconscious.
****The Hokage Tower****
October 11 0700hrs (morning)
The next day after the battle. Sarutobi Asoma, the Sandaime Hokage, announced his move back into power. The old man in his early seventies looked at some of the assembled prodigious, shinobi clan heads. They stood in a straight line. From left to right. Hyuuga Hiashi of Konoha's most proud bloodline the Byakugan; Yamanaka Inoshi; Nara Shikaku; Akimichi Chouza; and Takeda Takahashi, leader of the Konoha Wolf Pack. There also included Arashi's students Kakashi and Torisumi Rin, along with Takeda Kenshin. “Hokage-sama may I ask why are we here?” Hiashi asked.
“Very well this is the matter of the demon fox… you see since it was unable to dead, Arashi-san sealed it…” Sarutobi paused. “What was it sealed into Hokage-sama?” asked the young Kunoichi.
“Care to tell to them Takahashi-san…” said the Sandaime.
“Hai… what I am about to say most never leave this room,” All of them nodded in agreement, with the exception of the Sandaime, Kenshin and Kakashi. The Wolf leader continued, “When Arashi-san and I fought the demon fox, he preformed a jutsu known as the Shinigami Fuujin no Jutsu…” he took a deep breath, “…this sealing jutsu is a trump card jutsu… the sealer makes a contract with the Shinigami (Death Reaper), in offering his soul and the person or demon, in this case maybe, to him.” Everybody was slight shock and interest, with the exception of the Sandaime, Kenshin and Kakashi, “I am not done… sealing the powerful demon inside of inanimate object would be to risky. Sealing in a full-grown adult is no good because the charka system lines are all ready developed and won't take in another charka source, so the best way to he had to seal the demon's spirit and charka inside a very, and I do mean very, recently born child, who chakra systems are not delevoped.”
“So to whom the child belong to?” asked Chouza.
“The child's name is Kazuma Naruto,” the old blonde-headed man answered their questioning and shocked faces, “… I was just as shocked, when Arashi-san told whom the child was, he was born yesterday evening. The seal he used is completely flawless, its divided into two parts of one, the swirl part of the seal purpose is to not only suppress the demonic charka, but also when young Naruto-san learns charka control to perfection, he'll be able to tap into the charka, but still regulating it so much will not release itself. The eight-tatrigram part is to literally lock the demon's spirit the boy's stomach, demon will feel and see everything that Naruto-san goes though. Concordance to the demonic charka, Naruto-san will have great healing abilities…” Takahashi stared at the clan heads and Kunoichi faces as they absorbed the information. “Excuse me…”said Rin, breaking the silence, “Takahashi-sama… but the boy's mother who is she and where is he at?”
“I hope you don't plan on doing anything harmful that you might regret, Rin-san?” said Takahashi. “O-Of course not that child is Arashi-sensei's son… I was just curious about him.” Rin said almost on the verge of blindly rage. How could he accuse her of something like that. “I know young Rin-san, the boy's mother name is Uzumaki Aiya, she was a civilian, and unfortunate for young Naruto-san he won't be growing up with a mother.”
“How did she died Takahashi-sama?” asked Kakashi. “She died from what the medic-nins told me, a large amount of blood lost.” Sadness sweep across everyone's face, even the cold man of Hyuuga Hiashi. Hiashi broke the died silence, “I guess the reason, I am here is to adopted Naruto-san and train him in advanced charka control.” “Your are half correct Hiashi-sama, you will be training him in charka control, but the care giving will be handle by myself.” Kenshin informed the Hyuuga clan head. “I see.” “Hiashi-san, Arashi-san trust you enough with Naruto-san's charka control training and my son with care giving. So, will you do it?”
“Hai… Arashi-san is one of my trusted comrades and I do owe him a lot and I believe that this child should not be alone.”
“Kenshin-san didn't Arashi-san had letters to give to some people that are in this room.” “Hai… Hokage-sama.” Kenshin quickly handed out the assign letters to the right people. Everyone read their letters and agreed to do what they have asked by their former dead leader and friend (teacher for Rin and Kakashi). The Hokage asked for Rin, Kenshin and Kakashi to stay behind.
“So, I understand that y'all three are Naruto-san's legal guardians.”
The three of them nodded. “So do any of you have adequate spacing for an infant?”
“No, Hokage-sama,” said Kakashi.
“I have plenty of room,” said Rin joyfully.
“Why don't he stay at the Takeda compound, instead of that god forsaking place you call home, Rin-chan.” Kenshin said in a monotone voice. Rin stared at Kenshin that would make a demon scared as hell. Of course like usual she was fuming at his sarcasm. “WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY?!” yelled Rin on the top her lungs. “Oh, nothing.”
“QUIET!!!!!!!!!!” yelled out by this time the Hokage, which was good for a man his age of seventy-two, who had just been kicked out of retirement. The two quickly shut up, so not to anger the old man any further. “Kenshin-san, I believe that your mother and other servants all ready have to deal for the other three children. So I will not be putting any more responsibility on your mother… Besides with her and your father still being active ninjas and you as an Anbu member might not be good. Since, Rin-san is working at the Shinobi Hospital and an apprentice in childcare, she will be perfect for taking of baby Naruto-kun.” Sarutobi explained. “So, Rin-san exactly how big is your home?”
“Oi, it's a two bedroom apartment with one bath.”
“And an cesspool, beyond belief …” Kenshin murmured with a snicker. Which earns him head first into the wall, by Rin's sucker punch. Outside the two chuunin standing on guard, felt sorry for the idiot who badmouthed Rin. “Rin-san, I'll escort you to the hospital to get Naruto-kun… Kakashi-san `til Kenshin-san wakes up from his head injury, you two go back to your duty, understand.” Kakashi nodded his response. He watch as the Hokage and Rin walked out of the door. He worked up to his long time friend, bent down and started to poke on the face. When the Hokage and Rin, who considered one of the most beautiful and sexy, but most violent woman in Konoha, was gone, the silver-haired and the scared brown-haired chuunin popped their heads inside to see the damage done by Rin. It didn't look pretty, where Kenshin body hit left a creator in the wall. “She looked so calmed today, too.”
“CALM!!!!” the two chuunin yelled in unison, with their eyes bulging out.
****Konoha Shinobi Hospital: Nursery Ward**** 0815 hrs (morning)
“Ha-choo…” young Rin let out a small sneeze. `If someone is talking about me…I'll kill THEM!!!!” she thought. The old man looked at with little of concern. “Are you feeling all right, Rin-san?” asked Sarutobi.
“Hai, Hokage-sama.”
“Oh, before you take Naruto, to keep him safe from his father's enemies we gave him the name of Uzumaki, instead of Kazuma. But the chances of Arashi-san's enemies finding about Naruto is quite high. Do you understand?” Rin nodded. She looked though the glass that separated the baby nursery from anything.
“So you won't to meet him?” asked Sarutobi. She nodded again. Sarutobi tapped on the glass signaling a nurse to being Naruto to the glass. The nurse carried the little bundle and took him to the glass so they can get a better look at him. Adorable. Was the only thing Rin can think of. He had short ruff of blonde hair and with great, big blue orbs staring at them and in her opinion cute whisker marks on each cheek of his face, but soon picked up the marks must be the result of the nine-tails. She slightly frowned about thinking of it, catching Sarutobi's attention. With a concern voice, “What is wrong Rin-san, you look sad?” “Oh… I was just thinking of, how sad to see this child having to carry such a burden, as being a Jinchuuriki.” Rin said sadly. Sarutobi nodded, understanding what she meant. He remember what an old friend once said, `During the feudal era of this world many people thought they had it tough, but being a Jinchuuriki with no one to love or acknowledge you, is heartbreaking…'
****Konoha's Market District**** 1207 hrs (noon)
After that Rin went home to set up the house for her new arrival. She thanked Kami-sama that the demon didn't destroy the market district of the village. She bought, with help (she force them of course) by Kakashi and Kenshin, a baby's curb, baby boy's clothes, diapers and other needed supplies. It was very embarrassing for the two men, who all over the Shinobi world is feared or respected or both by the mention of their names. As usual Rin and Kenshin was arguing about almost anything, he was getting angry at why would a boy needed some things that looked so girly and she was yelling at the top of her lungs about being a sexist pig and nothing but a womanizing ass wipe and poor Kakashi is stuck in the middle to scared to live them as is. In fear that the both of them would, and most likely can… kill him.
****Rin's Apartment**** 1400 hrs (2 pm; afternoon)
“We finally can go home…” Kenshin said as he and Kakashi went for the door. In a spit second, Rin was in front of the door and just as quickly went though the hand seals for a Katon jutsu. Kenshin just glared at her daring her to do it, “You wouldn't…” “Oi, I would?” Rin said as she moved the Tiger hand seal towards her mouth ready to exhale a fireball. “Okay, okay you two lets just calm down . So my sweet, kiiiiiiinnnnndd Rin, what do you want us to do?” Kakashi said well swinging his hands in a defensive manner. Rin raised an eyebrow and evil smile creep on to her face, “Nothing more then to assist me in preparing my spare room into something appropriate for a new born baby, of course.” Kenshin groaned at doing manual labor the only manual labor he did was bet the shit out of people and Kakashi just smiled underneath his mask.
Three backbreaking hours later…
“Kakashi-teme you have a big mouth you know that…” Kakashi just grinned at him and went back to painting the hideous room mild-color orange. Kenshin, just like Maito Gai, he hated Kakashi's heap cool attitude.
“Kakashi-san…” “Hai…” as soon as he turn to look at Kenshin, he was slapped with Kenshin's paintbrush on the face. Kakashi just coolly went back to painting like nothing happened. Kenshin was about to hit him until…
“ERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!…”
The door swung opened to reveal a very frustrated, a very pissed off Rin. “Do any of you perverts know how to read Chinese?”
The special Jounin glanced at each other and then look at Rin, “Why?” they asked in unison.
Rin was fuming at this moment and getting tried of the two buffoons.
“Why…” smoke was coming from her ears at this point, “WHY?!?! WHY YOU THINK YOU DIPSHITS … ALL THE FUCKING INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN CHINESE, YOU IDIOTS! THAT'S WHY!?” Rin throw the instructions manual at only one person and one person only… Kenshin. Kenshin's head hit the wall making a small dent in it and messing up his shoulder-length blonde hair and the paint job. Rin got even more anger, the buffoon damaged her wall, even thou she cause it, she just would never admit it. “Look what you did you idiot, you dented my wall…” yelled Rin. “Why are you blaming this on me for, you caused it!” exclaimed Kenshin. Of course Rin would not settle for this and continued to argue. Kakashi stared at this and shook his head shamefully at his friends' antics and started to think, `Arashi-sensei your child is going to have an interesting life with this two as his guardians.' . He turned around went back to work, because this place was inescapable. For a few reasons; 1. Due to him and Kenshin's consist use of the Shushin (Teleportation) to escape consist temper flares by Rin, she one day decided to, with help by her best friend Kurenai, came up with a Genjutsu forbidding them from during so; 2. Because of the jutsu the only way out was the door and it was blocked by an anger Rin (which is a bad thing) and he was scared shitless of her freakish strength and she will be too much trouble for him; 3. Even with the window (Wait a minute window(Kakashi's mind))… Kakashi leaped up and bash through the window and landed on the nearby roof, sped for home. Good thing no one knew where he lived. He left a dumbshock Rin and Kenshin in his wake. They yelled in unison, “GET BACK WERE KAKASHI-TEME !!!!!!!!!!”
After fifty arguments later (4 hours) they was finally complete, not they was done and off to kill Kakashi.
****Konoha Hospital**** Oct. 12. 0800 hrs (morning)
Rin walked in the hospital and entered the room of one Uzumaki Naruto, she entered to noticed the Hokage there and looked like he been all night. He got up with the door opening, “Ah. Rin-san you made it.” Sarutobi smiled. “So is he ready be discharge?” she asked kindly. “Hai… Is everything at your apartment ready for him.” Rin nodded. “I am sure those two gave you a hard time fixing up your place, did they?” Sarutobi chuckled, while Rin blushed for some reason. She'd remember, after Kakashi left, the time she and Kenshin spent together and she enjoyed it. `Damn it why I am blushing all of sudden and thinking of that womanizing perv… and why does the Hokage always have to find out about everything?' As if he read her mind, “I can tell they gave you a hard time because basically it's written all over your face hahahahaha!!!!” Rin hated being read like an opening book and the Hokage's chuckling didn't help, her face reddens even deeper.
Naruto in the bed next to Sarutobi, started to swirl and get upset for being brought out of his slumber. Rin rusted over to the whiling baby picked him up and started to cradle him. She decided to sing him a sweet little song. It seemed to be working, he stopped whiling and looked up at her with his big blue eyes. He yawned and went back to sleep. All the while Sarutobi looked at her smiling deeply and mentally asking forgiveness for doubting his successor's choice for the boy's adopted mother. “Hokage-sama… may I ask a question?” He motioned her to continue. “Does any one know of Naruto-kun's `condition' yet?” “No, but I doubt that someone soon will figure out about Naruto-san, sooner or later.” Sarutobi walked over to the window and turned around to see grim and worried look on face. `She just like mother any so many ways.', he reassured her, “There is nothing to be worried about… the bodyguard I have formed are trustworthy and extremely loyal, there is one from each clan that are friends of the Kazumas, the Hyuugas, the Yamanakas, the Naras, the Akimichis, and the Takedas, so there is no fear.”
“But do they know of his de- I mean `condition'?” asked nervously.
“Hai, they understand what Arashi-san did and trust his work not to fail.”
“Who are they?”
“There is Hyuuga Hizaishi, twin brother Hiashi and leader of the branch family, Nara Shikata, little brother of Shikaku, Yamanaka Kozu, cousin of Inoshi, Akimichi Chouda, little brother of Chouza and Takeda Saito, brother of Takahiashi.” Rin pondered over it a second nodded she liked it. “Oh yeah, one more thing Rin-san, Kenshin-san and Kakashi-san will be taking up vacant apartments near you, so they will not be so far just incase something happens. Also the women agreed to help you raise Naruto-kun and to gave advice if needed. To answer any of your unasked questions, Rin-san, they do know about his `condition' and know that they're forbidden to tell anyone, even their children and they also have complete trust in Arashi-san's seal. So there're no worries for. He is to grow up as a normal child.” She nodded, still having problems accepting the fact so many people accepted him and understood the situation. Not allowing the fact he's the demon's jailer to increase their prejudice cloud their judgment of the boy. Sarutobi smiled at girl's surprised look. “Hokage-sama … can we go meet them, I guess if they are going to help me rise Naruto-kun.” Rin said as she cupped the side of baby Naruto's face. `Arashi-sensei stood you're be happy of the village some are all ready accepting your son.'
“Sure thing Rin-san… you will meet them soon enough.”
They left the hospital with baby Naruto; totally unaware of the rumors of him being the demon had started to circulate. Soon the idea of Naruto of leading a normal life will be shattered.
****Somewhere in Konoha****
“So are you trying to say that the demon isn't dead?" one confused person at this man told them. They were told that the Yondaime killed the demon. He just told them that it was reborn as the baby boy, Uzumaki Naruto. This rallied the people in the tavern. The man who told them thought about the scene in front of him. `KuKuKu… My great plan to get revenge on Arashi-teme for taking my job from me… kukuku…they would use their prejudice against son of the Yondaime and kill without knowing who he is… kukuku.' The man turned heel and snaked his way out of the place to allow their hatred of the fox to manifest. “We should finish the demon.” “Yeah, finish the Yondaime's job.” Is what been heard throughout the place. Civilians and several shinobi went to the village wanting blood.
****Hokage Tower****
Sarutobi and Rin walked in the tower and noticed some of the glares at her, more specifically to the boy. It wasn't suspicious for some people to being their children to the tower, since there was a small nursery in the building. The glares were of hatred and disgust, and of fear. The bodyguards that came in right behind them and all ideas of attacking the child were destroy, when people, who sent death glares, felt the massive killing intent from the bodyguards, primary Hyuuga Hizaishi and Takeda Saito. Rin was terribly worried now and held Naruto even closer, `Have the secret have already been linked.'
They got to the nursery, Sarutobi noticed the look of one of the nurses and walked up to her and whispered in her ear. “If you want to keep working anywhere in this village. I suggest you wipe that look off your face.” The nurse looked at Sarutobi to see a disgusted look on his face. She nodded slowly and walked off. The guards took position outside of the door to prevent any other people from coming in. When she and Sarutobi entered the nursery, she noticed five older and in her opinion, extremely well blessed and very glorious women with some small children. Four of the women seemed to be converse in a conversation to have notice the Sandaime Hokage and one was in a rocking chair with a baby cradled in her arms. Rin felt a small tug on her violet-reddish wool kimono; she looked down to see a small boy around the age of one holding up a small cup. He had sunny blonde hair, similar to Naruto's hair (except with a lot more), a cuckoo hairstyle (think of Sasuke's hair) with solid silver irises and almost wolf-like shaped eyes, his pupils were still round and not snake-like like Kenshin, by his face she know he was a Takeda. He wore a black T-shirt, with the Takeda crest on the front (crescent moon, with the `kanji' Takeda in it), blue jeans. The little boy wiped his head to the right and run giggling to his mother who had gotten up from here chair. `She's prettier than me…' Rin thought with a little hint of jealously of the woman's good luck of being glorious at her age. She had waist long black silky hair with her hair tied in a low ponytail, her face was perfect and she wore a purple kimono with leaves design on it that blended with the color that was opened on top. She had a purple shirt to keep herself modest along with a navy-blue Gi jacket over it, on her feet was some high heels. She walked over cradling her other child in her left arm. She greeted them, “Konnichiwa, Sarutobi-san.” She must really know him to call him `Sarutobi-san', instead of the traditional `Sarutobi-sama' or `Hokage-sama'. “How are you feeling this morning, Sarutobi-san?”
“Doing fine. How are you doing Kikiyo-san and the baby?” asked Sarutobi. “Just fine and Kaoru-chan is sound asleep,” she smiled, “…you must be Rin-chan aren't you?” she directed to Rin.
`Chan?' “H-Hai… ma'am.” Rin nervously said, giving a small bow of her head. “There is no reason to be nervous child,” she noticed the bundle in her arms and a grin pleased her face, “so this must be Naruto-kun hmmm.” The mistress of the Takeda clan said. She when over and placed her baby girl inside one of the cribs. “Ladies…” she directed to the other women, “… I would like you to meet Rin-chan.” Rin waved with her free hand at the women. They nodded and walked to her to look at the baby. Which they thought was the most adorable baby. Sarutobi left the room do to some things in his office and meet the counsel. The Takeda Mistress spoke getting everyone's attention, “Oh, please forgive for not properly introducing myself, I am Takeda Kikiyo, but you can call me Lady Kikiyo.” A woman wearing a black long-sleeved shirt with a navy blue knee-length skirt, with red shoulder length hair tied tight in a low ponytail. She had jade-green eyes. The outfit she was wearing commented her every curve. The red head spoke next, “I am Nara Beniko, it's a pleasure.” Beniko said, with a lovely grin. The next woman to spoke, was a rather slender woman with long brown hair that went down to her waist and had black eyes, she was wearing a similar outfit to Beniko, except she had on all black. She had a gold medallion with the crest of Akimichi symbol of `food' on it. “I am Akimichi Kaori, it's a pleasure to finally meet you, Rin-chan.” The lady giggled in lady-like way. “I am Yamanaka Amaya.” Amaya wasn't not exactly big nor too skinny, she wore a navy blue with black trim kimono. She had dark blue hair that went mid-back, with night rain color eyes. She had blue eye shadow that commented her eyes and hair. The woman to her left was slightly shorter then her, making her the shortest of the five woman, minus Rin. She was just as gorgeous as the others. She had black hair that was tied in twin ponytails (Like Tsunade's hair) that also went to mid-back and had black sensual eyes, her face fine tuned, thanks to many facials and other luxuries of being the wife of head clan member of the most prodigious clan of Konoha. “I am Hyuuga Hinako.” The Hyuuga mistress said cheerful voice. “So care to talk Rin-chan on being a mother?” Kikiyo asked. Rin quickly went to one of the unoccupied cribs and placed baby Naruto in it. Before she turned her attention to the other women she gave Naruto's stomach small rubs with her fingertips. She turned around to see the women snickering her left eye started to twitch some and if they see the back of her head they'd see big sweat drop. “Well it would seem she starting to become a mother anyway.” Hinako said snickering. The other ladies nodded and all six of them went to the center of the room and took seats on the floor.
All of them were totally unaware of the massive mob that was forming outside of Hokage Tower.
****Council Chamber of the Hokage Tower****
The chamber is where are all the government of Konoha is held. People in the chamber of the most prodigious clans, various feudal lords, head daimyo of the Fire Country and including the elders, who are the top advisors of the Hokage. Excluding the five-clan heads we have already met, in Konoha there are two Takeda clans on is known as the Ho(Fire) branch family, which is represented by Takahashi and there is the Kaze(wind)branch family represented by a seventeen-year-old man named Zhou; there is Uchiha Fuguku, Lord of the Uchihas, the village's premier Ninjutsu specialists; Inuzuka Hanaku, the Mistress of the Inuzukas; Aburame Shinbi, leader of the Bug Users; Yamato Junichiro, leader of Konoha's Great Healers. There were a few of Konoha's great Martial Artists and Samurai clan leaders, Arisawa Ken, Kuroda Takuji, and Hachisuka Tenoshi. There were the Fire Country's feudal lords, along the Hokage top advisors Mizumaki Dairoku and Miyahara Etsuko, the former teammates of Arashi.
“This meeting of the council shall come in order.” Etsuko said getting the attention of the council. “Takahashi-sama would like to bring something to this council. Takahashi-sama if you would.” Takahashi nodded.
“My fellow council as we all known of Arashi's death, I would like to say that he is not the last of the Kazuma clan. On October tenth, he was given a rightful heir, a son.”
“How can he, he wasn't married?” Donzo yelled angrily, it wasn't a secret that he had deep hatred for Arashi.
“That is right Donzo-dono, it would seem that he had secret affair with a civilian girl, but that is not the real reason I have asked for this meeting. This child is the container of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, the nine-tailed fox.” As soon as he said that shock was plastered on everyone's face, except for the seven people that already known. They started to murmured, the nearly ball headed Donzo spoke, “The demon is not dead.” “No it is impossible to kill the Lord of the Bijuus (Tailed Demons).” “Takahashi-sama, you better tell me where the demon is or else.” Donzo threatened, making a hand gesture to his two swordsmen bodyguards to attack the half-ookami demon Takeda. “That is enough out of you Donzo-dono.” Dairoku said. “Takahashi-sama please continue.”
“Thank you, Dairoku-san… the child have swirl/eight element seal that is effectively holding down the demon. Sealing in is only son was the best thing he can do-…” Takahashi was interrupted in an ANBU member came running though the oak doors.
“Hokage-sama! A big mob has assemble outside the entrance!” the young man yelled.
****Outside of the Tower****
A mob of civilians and some shinobi formed outside of building. They where yelling, “Give us the demon!” and “Kill the demon spawn!” When the Hokage and other people of council members walked out on the second-story of the balcony amazed how many people already known about the boy and started wondering how they found out. Takahashi spoke first, “Hokage-sama it is no use in keeping it from them any longer. I really hate to say this but he must tell them, because if young Naruto ever uses is demonic power in self defense in the future it can mean a very severe civil war in the land of fire.” “I see.” Sarutobi said, taking a drag of his pipe. “Hiashi get Naruto for me please, I think I can some sense into by making in a hero.” Hiashi reluctantly went to the nursery. A few minutes later Hiashi, Rin carrying Naruto and the bodyguards a signed to Naruto came back. The Hokage took the baby into his arms and walked forward. In a loud voice, “People of Konoha, this your savoir, the jailor of the nine tailed fox.”
“So it is true, the demon isn't dead!” yelled one villager.
“Kill it!” yelled another. Sarutobi was in stock he was sure that it would work. The now very convinced and very angry mob rushed for the entrance of the tower. The several shinobi that was in the mob launched into the air aiming their kunais and shurikens at the baby, but only to be locked out of mid air crushing into the ground. Landing in front of the mob was among the best of Konoha's shinobi; Konoha's Green Breast Maito Gai; Sarutobi Asuma, son of the Third; Takeda Kenshin, heir to the Ho (Fire) Branch; Hatake Kakashi, the Copy-cat ninja and Ichimaru Gin, the Smiling Ninja. All who known them back off. They didn't want to fight this five. They was broken out of fear by the Hokage's booming voice, “There is a law that is now put in place… no one will speak of the condition of this boy… you are not allowed to speak of this anymore, not even your children… anyone either civilian or shinobi that will break this law will be given life imprisonment… now go home!” the villagers did not won't to irritate the old man. Sarutobi went inside and turned to Rin handing over Naruto.
“I am sorry Rin-san I thought if I make Naruto sound like a hero, which he is, the village would view him uniquely.” Sarutobi said sadly. He felt guilty for not only making Naruto into a reasonable target, but Rin as well. “It is okay Sarutobi-sama.”
****Rin's apartment****
She took Naruto, along with her bodyguards, including Kenshin, Kakashi, Gai, Gin and Asuma. She placed baby Naruto in the crib in his new home. “Goodnight Naruto-kun.” `Don't worry you won't be alone, you have all of us as your family.' Rin thought of his neat family. Yamanakas. Naras. Takedas. Hyuugas. Akimichis. Now the Sarutobi clan, the Uchihas (They just think he be great for their clan), the Arisawa, the Kuroda and the Hachisuka clans had accepted him. Along with all her friends, she known her and Naruto will not be only ones going though this alone. She smiled and went to turn in for the night, before stopping to see her two best friends Yuuhi Kurenai and Mitarashi Anko passed out on her long sofa. Her left eye twitched in anime style, `Damn free loaders'

Outskirts of Konohagakure no Sato (Village Hidden in the Leaves)
October 10 2300hrs (11:00 p.m. night time)
Outside of a shinobi village, known as the Hidden Leaf Village, late on a cold autumn night. When a lot of people are supposed to be dreaming sweet and peaceful dreams. Lives in fear. A monstrous breast runs ramped. Standing three-stories tall, with nine terrifying tails destroying everything in its path. It howls menacing at the full moon. The shinobi and Anbu forces tries to hold back the nine-tailed fox demon. The Kyuubi no Kitsune, one of the nine bijuus, Lord of the Demons. The ninjas of the Leaf, hoped that the renowned half-demon clan, known as the Takedas, can defeat the beast, but even if they fought heroically, they could not kill the fox, this became apparent very quickly. The only thing they can hope for is a miracle and unknown to them one was coming to them sooner then they think.
“Takahashi-sama (gasping)… Hokage-sama…” the very exhausted Anbu member tried to speak.
“Breathe in slowly young man.” said Takahashi.
“(gasping)… he said, he have plan in dealing with the fox.” The old blonde-haired man nodded and in lightning speed rushed to the Hokage is at. When he got there something caught his attention, he was not alone. The young Hokage not being alone is not suspicious at least the bit. He was with his usual entourage, Takahashi's eldest son, a fourteen-year-old Anbu black ops member, Takeda Kenshin, along with the Hokage's ex-student and Anbu black ops member, fourteen-year-old, Hatake Kakashi. Takahashi since, like all experienced Takeda clan members, scented or smelled a really young not-born-to-long-ago life. In the Hokage's right arm cradled a young infant. A grim thought crossed the old Takeda mind, `I hope he is not going do what I think he's plan on doing.' He can also scent some sadness coming from his son. Takahashi walked up closer to them to better hear about this… plan.
“Arashi-san… what is this …plan of yours?” Takahashi said with a little bit of disgust in his voice.
Arashi noticed the disgust in his voice and grinned his known mischievous smile. He quickly explained the Shinigami Fuujin no Jutsu (Death Reaper Seal Technique) and how it involves his only child, Naruto. Takahashi interrupted him, “If you do that your son will not only be left with a heavy burden, but he be most likely persecuted to the highest degree-…”
“DONT YOU THINK I KNOW THAT!!” Arashi yelled, then claimed down, “And besides wasn't you, who said that if your clan cannot stop the demon that we'll need a miracle… while my son is that miracle.” Arashi quickly told Takahashi his part of the plan, he reluctantly nodded. Arashi looked over to his former student, “Kakashi-san I would need you to be with me when I summon Gamabunta.” He nodded. “Kenshin-san in my home… our the scrolls of the Kazuma clan, I want to be given to Naruto when he is old enough. Also there are some letters with some people names on it. Make sure you take the scrolls to your compound I believe they'd be safest there.”
`Arashi-sama' “Hai…” After that, Kenshin sped off to the Kazuma compound. “While I guess its time…” said the Yondaime Hokage. The other two men nodded. The three went to where the beast was.
****Kazuma Compound****
Kenshin finally made it to the Arashi's home. Arashi lived in a standard samurai-style dojo near the Uchiha district. The place was completely disserted. The young shinobi could hear the raging battle with the nine-tailed beast. Suddenly, two massive charka surges nearly knocked him down, `cause it so powerful and intense. Only one thought came to the boy's mind. `The plan must be going into effect…father…please be don't died.' Kenshin went to the master bedroom of the dojo. He found what he was looking for several scrolls of the Kazuma clan on the bed along with the letters the Yondaime spoken of. Kenshin noticed one was addressed to him.
~
Dear Kenshin-san,
You're probably in the compound now. I'll make this quick. I want you to do me a favor, my son, Naruto, will be needing a father figure after I'm gone. You must be in shock by now and don't you have to worry about going though the whole adoption process it is been taken care of. I know you won't let me down. Good luck in your future kid and don't forget to live great.
Your mentor,
Kazuma Arashi, the Yondaime Hokage
P.S. If my old sensei Jiraiya by some divinely royal fuck of fate becomes Naruto's teacher, please save him from becoming a perv. One Jiraiya is good enough.
~
Kenshin was in complete in shock that, his mentor and inspiration, has asked him to be Naruto's adoptive father. Like he had a choice in the matter. He put the letter behind his Anbu armor and quickly place the other letters in his ninja pouch. Then something caught in his attention. He listened… silence. Peace. He noticed that the demon's spiritual and charka signatures were gone. He rushes out of the compound, he expected not to feel Arashi's spiritual and charka signatures, but for some reasons he could not feel his father's trademark signatures, he could either be unconscious or…dead. Kenshin was hoping his father was unconscious.
****The Hokage Tower****
October 11 0700hrs (morning)
The next day after the battle. Sarutobi Asoma, the Sandaime Hokage, announced his move back into power. The old man in his early seventies looked at some of the assembled prodigious, shinobi clan heads. They stood in a straight line. From left to right. Hyuuga Hiashi of Konoha's most proud bloodline the Byakugan; Yamanaka Inoshi; Nara Shikaku; Akimichi Chouza; and Takeda Takahashi, leader of the Konoha Wolf Pack. There also included Arashi's students Kakashi and Torisumi Rin, along with Takeda Kenshin. “Hokage-sama may I ask why are we here?” Hiashi asked.
“Very well this is the matter of the demon fox… you see since it was unable to dead, Arashi-san sealed it…” Sarutobi paused. “What was it sealed into Hokage-sama?” asked the young Kunoichi.
“Care to tell to them Takahashi-san…” said the Sandaime.
“Hai… what I am about to say most never leave this room,” All of them nodded in agreement, with the exception of the Sandaime, Kenshin and Kakashi. The Wolf leader continued, “When Arashi-san and I fought the demon fox, he preformed a jutsu known as the Shinigami Fuujin no Jutsu…” he took a deep breath, “…this sealing jutsu is a trump card jutsu… the sealer makes a contract with the Shinigami (Death Reaper), in offering his soul and the person or demon, in this case maybe, to him.” Everybody was slight shock and interest, with the exception of the Sandaime, Kenshin and Kakashi, “I am not done… sealing the powerful demon inside of inanimate object would be to risky. Sealing in a full-grown adult is no good because the charka system lines are all ready developed and won't take in another charka source, so the best way to he had to seal the demon's spirit and charka inside a very, and I do mean very, recently born child, who chakra systems are not delevoped.”
“So to whom the child belong to?” asked Chouza.
“The child's name is Kazuma Naruto,” the old blonde-headed man answered their questioning and shocked faces, “… I was just as shocked, when Arashi-san told whom the child was, he was born yesterday evening. The seal he used is completely flawless, its divided into two parts of one, the swirl part of the seal purpose is to not only suppress the demonic charka, but also when young Naruto-san learns charka control to perfection, he'll be able to tap into the charka, but still regulating it so much will not release itself. The eight-tatrigram part is to literally lock the demon's spirit the boy's stomach, demon will feel and see everything that Naruto-san goes though. Concordance to the demonic charka, Naruto-san will have great healing abilities…” Takahashi stared at the clan heads and Kunoichi faces as they absorbed the information. “Excuse me…”said Rin, breaking the silence, “Takahashi-sama… but the boy's mother who is she and where is he at?”
“I hope you don't plan on doing anything harmful that you might regret, Rin-san?” said Takahashi. “O-Of course not that child is Arashi-sensei's son… I was just curious about him.” Rin said almost on the verge of blindly rage. How could he accuse her of something like that. “I know young Rin-san, the boy's mother name is Uzumaki Aiya, she was a civilian, and unfortunate for young Naruto-san he won't be growing up with a mother.”
“How did she died Takahashi-sama?” asked Kakashi. “She died from what the medic-nins told me, a large amount of blood lost.” Sadness sweep across everyone's face, even the cold man of Hyuuga Hiashi. Hiashi broke the died silence, “I guess the reason, I am here is to adopted Naruto-san and train him in advanced charka control.” “Your are half correct Hiashi-sama, you will be training him in charka control, but the care giving will be handle by myself.” Kenshin informed the Hyuuga clan head. “I see.” “Hiashi-san, Arashi-san trust you enough with Naruto-san's charka control training and my son with care giving. So, will you do it?”
“Hai… Arashi-san is one of my trusted comrades and I do owe him a lot and I believe that this child should not be alone.”
“Kenshin-san didn't Arashi-san had letters to give to some people that are in this room.” “Hai… Hokage-sama.” Kenshin quickly handed out the assign letters to the right people. Everyone read their letters and agreed to do what they have asked by their former dead leader and friend (teacher for Rin and Kakashi). The Hokage asked for Rin, Kenshin and Kakashi to stay behind.
“So, I understand that y'all three are Naruto-san's legal guardians.”
The three of them nodded. “So do any of you have adequate spacing for an infant?”
“No, Hokage-sama,” said Kakashi.
“I have plenty of room,” said Rin joyfully.
“Why don't he stay at the Takeda compound, instead of that god forsaking place you call home, Rin-chan.” Kenshin said in a monotone voice. Rin stared at Kenshin that would make a demon scared as hell. Of course like usual she was fuming at his sarcasm. “WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY?!” yelled Rin on the top her lungs. “Oh, nothing.”
“QUIET!!!!!!!!!!” yelled out by this time the Hokage, which was good for a man his age of seventy-two, who had just been kicked out of retirement. The two quickly shut up, so not to anger the old man any further. “Kenshin-san, I believe that your mother and other servants all ready have to deal for the other three children. So I will not be putting any more responsibility on your mother… Besides with her and your father still being active ninjas and you as an Anbu member might not be good. Since, Rin-san is working at the Shinobi Hospital and an apprentice in childcare, she will be perfect for taking of baby Naruto-kun.” Sarutobi explained. “So, Rin-san exactly how big is your home?”
“Oi, it's a two bedroom apartment with one bath.”
“And an cesspool, beyond belief …” Kenshin murmured with a snicker. Which earns him head first into the wall, by Rin's sucker punch. Outside the two chuunin standing on guard, felt sorry for the idiot who badmouthed Rin. “Rin-san, I'll escort you to the hospital to get Naruto-kun… Kakashi-san `til Kenshin-san wakes up from his head injury, you two go back to your duty, understand.” Kakashi nodded his response. He watch as the Hokage and Rin walked out of the door. He worked up to his long time friend, bent down and started to poke on the face. When the Hokage and Rin, who considered one of the most beautiful and sexy, but most violent woman in Konoha, was gone, the silver-haired and the scared brown-haired chuunin popped their heads inside to see the damage done by Rin. It didn't look pretty, where Kenshin body hit left a creator in the wall. “She looked so calmed today, too.”
“CALM!!!!” the two chuunin yelled in unison, with their eyes bulging out.
****Konoha Shinobi Hospital: Nursery Ward**** 0815 hrs (morning)
“Ha-choo…” young Rin let out a small sneeze. `If someone is talking about me…I'll kill THEM!!!!” she thought. The old man looked at with little of concern. “Are you feeling all right, Rin-san?” asked Sarutobi.
“Hai, Hokage-sama.”
“Oh, before you take Naruto, to keep him safe from his father's enemies we gave him the name of Uzumaki, instead of Kazuma. But the chances of Arashi-san's enemies finding about Naruto is quite high. Do you understand?” Rin nodded. She looked though the glass that separated the baby nursery from anything.
“So you won't to meet him?” asked Sarutobi. She nodded again. Sarutobi tapped on the glass signaling a nurse to being Naruto to the glass. The nurse carried the little bundle and took him to the glass so they can get a better look at him. Adorable. Was the only thing Rin can think of. He had short ruff of blonde hair and with great, big blue orbs staring at them and in her opinion cute whisker marks on each cheek of his face, but soon picked up the marks must be the result of the nine-tails. She slightly frowned about thinking of it, catching Sarutobi's attention. With a concern voice, “What is wrong Rin-san, you look sad?” “Oh… I was just thinking of, how sad to see this child having to carry such a burden, as being a Jinchuuriki.” Rin said sadly. Sarutobi nodded, understanding what she meant. He remember what an old friend once said, `During the feudal era of this world many people thought they had it tough, but being a Jinchuuriki with no one to love or acknowledge you, is heartbreaking…'
****Konoha's Market District**** 1207 hrs (noon)
After that Rin went home to set up the house for her new arrival. She thanked Kami-sama that the demon didn't destroy the market district of the village. She bought, with help (she force them of course) by Kakashi and Kenshin, a baby's curb, baby boy's clothes, diapers and other needed supplies. It was very embarrassing for the two men, who all over the Shinobi world is feared or respected or both by the mention of their names. As usual Rin and Kenshin was arguing about almost anything, he was getting angry at why would a boy needed some things that looked so girly and she was yelling at the top of her lungs about being a sexist pig and nothing but a womanizing ass wipe and poor Kakashi is stuck in the middle to scared to live them as is. In fear that the both of them would, and most likely can… kill him.
****Rin's Apartment**** 1400 hrs (2 pm; afternoon)
“We finally can go home…” Kenshin said as he and Kakashi went for the door. In a spit second, Rin was in front of the door and just as quickly went though the hand seals for a Katon jutsu. Kenshin just glared at her daring her to do it, “You wouldn't…” “Oi, I would?” Rin said as she moved the Tiger hand seal towards her mouth ready to exhale a fireball. “Okay, okay you two lets just calm down . So my sweet, kiiiiiiinnnnndd Rin, what do you want us to do?” Kakashi said well swinging his hands in a defensive manner. Rin raised an eyebrow and evil smile creep on to her face, “Nothing more then to assist me in preparing my spare room into something appropriate for a new born baby, of course.” Kenshin groaned at doing manual labor the only manual labor he did was bet the shit out of people and Kakashi just smiled underneath his mask.
Three backbreaking hours later…
“Kakashi-teme you have a big mouth you know that…” Kakashi just grinned at him and went back to painting the hideous room mild-color orange. Kenshin, just like Maito Gai, he hated Kakashi's heap cool attitude.
“Kakashi-san…” “Hai…” as soon as he turn to look at Kenshin, he was slapped with Kenshin's paintbrush on the face. Kakashi just coolly went back to painting like nothing happened. Kenshin was about to hit him until…
“ERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!…”
The door swung opened to reveal a very frustrated, a very pissed off Rin. “Do any of you perverts know how to read Chinese?”
The special Jounin glanced at each other and then look at Rin, “Why?” they asked in unison.
Rin was fuming at this moment and getting tried of the two buffoons.
“Why…” smoke was coming from her ears at this point, “WHY?!?! WHY YOU THINK YOU DIPSHITS … ALL THE FUCKING INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN CHINESE, YOU IDIOTS! THAT'S WHY!?” Rin throw the instructions manual at only one person and one person only… Kenshin. Kenshin's head hit the wall making a small dent in it and messing up his shoulder-length blonde hair and the paint job. Rin got even more anger, the buffoon damaged her wall, even thou she cause it, she just would never admit it. “Look what you did you idiot, you dented my wall…” yelled Rin. “Why are you blaming this on me for, you caused it!” exclaimed Kenshin. Of course Rin would not settle for this and continued to argue. Kakashi stared at this and shook his head shamefully at his friends' antics and started to think, `Arashi-sensei your child is going to have an interesting life with this two as his guardians.' . He turned around went back to work, because this place was inescapable. For a few reasons; 1. Due to him and Kenshin's consist use of the Shushin (Teleportation) to escape consist temper flares by Rin, she one day decided to, with help by her best friend Kurenai, came up with a Genjutsu forbidding them from during so; 2. Because of the jutsu the only way out was the door and it was blocked by an anger Rin (which is a bad thing) and he was scared shitless of her freakish strength and she will be too much trouble for him; 3. Even with the window (Wait a minute window(Kakashi's mind))… Kakashi leaped up and bash through the window and landed on the nearby roof, sped for home. Good thing no one knew where he lived. He left a dumbshock Rin and Kenshin in his wake. They yelled in unison, “GET BACK WERE KAKASHI-TEME !!!!!!!!!!”
After fifty arguments later (4 hours) they was finally complete, not they was done and off to kill Kakashi.
****Konoha Hospital**** Oct. 12. 0800 hrs (morning)
Rin walked in the hospital and entered the room of one Uzumaki Naruto, she entered to noticed the Hokage there and looked like he been all night. He got up with the door opening, “Ah. Rin-san you made it.” Sarutobi smiled. “So is he ready be discharge?” she asked kindly. “Hai… Is everything at your apartment ready for him.” Rin nodded. “I am sure those two gave you a hard time fixing up your place, did they?” Sarutobi chuckled, while Rin blushed for some reason. She'd remember, after Kakashi left, the time she and Kenshin spent together and she enjoyed it. `Damn it why I am blushing all of sudden and thinking of that womanizing perv… and why does the Hokage always have to find out about everything?' As if he read her mind, “I can tell they gave you a hard time because basically it's written all over your face hahahahaha!!!!” Rin hated being read like an opening book and the Hokage's chuckling didn't help, her face reddens even deeper.
Naruto in the bed next to Sarutobi, started to swirl and get upset for being brought out of his slumber. Rin rusted over to the whiling baby picked him up and started to cradle him. She decided to sing him a sweet little song. It seemed to be working, he stopped whiling and looked up at her with his big blue eyes. He yawned and went back to sleep. All the while Sarutobi looked at her smiling deeply and mentally asking forgiveness for doubting his successor's choice for the boy's adopted mother. “Hokage-sama… may I ask a question?” He motioned her to continue. “Does any one know of Naruto-kun's `condition' yet?” “No, but I doubt that someone soon will figure out about Naruto-san, sooner or later.” Sarutobi walked over to the window and turned around to see grim and worried look on face. `She just like mother any so many ways.', he reassured her, “There is nothing to be worried about… the bodyguard I have formed are trustworthy and extremely loyal, there is one from each clan that are friends of the Kazumas, the Hyuugas, the Yamanakas, the Naras, the Akimichis, and the Takedas, so there is no fear.”
“But do they know of his de- I mean `condition'?” asked nervously.
“Hai, they understand what Arashi-san did and trust his work not to fail.”
“Who are they?”
“There is Hyuuga Hizaishi, twin brother Hiashi and leader of the branch family, Nara Shikata, little brother of Shikaku, Yamanaka Kozu, cousin of Inoshi, Akimichi Chouda, little brother of Chouza and Takeda Saito, brother of Takahiashi.” Rin pondered over it a second nodded she liked it. “Oh yeah, one more thing Rin-san, Kenshin-san and Kakashi-san will be taking up vacant apartments near you, so they will not be so far just incase something happens. Also the women agreed to help you raise Naruto-kun and to gave advice if needed. To answer any of your unasked questions, Rin-san, they do know about his `condition' and know that they're forbidden to tell anyone, even their children and they also have complete trust in Arashi-san's seal. So there're no worries for. He is to grow up as a normal child.” She nodded, still having problems accepting the fact so many people accepted him and understood the situation. Not allowing the fact he's the demon's jailer to increase their prejudice cloud their judgment of the boy. Sarutobi smiled at girl's surprised look. “Hokage-sama … can we go meet them, I guess if they are going to help me rise Naruto-kun.” Rin said as she cupped the side of baby Naruto's face. `Arashi-sensei stood you're be happy of the village some are all ready accepting your son.'
“Sure thing Rin-san… you will meet them soon enough.”
They left the hospital with baby Naruto; totally unaware of the rumors of him being the demon had started to circulate. Soon the idea of Naruto of leading a normal life will be shattered.
****Somewhere in Konoha****
“So are you trying to say that the demon isn't dead?" one confused person at this man told them. They were told that the Yondaime killed the demon. He just told them that it was reborn as the baby boy, Uzumaki Naruto. This rallied the people in the tavern. The man who told them thought about the scene in front of him. `KuKuKu… My great plan to get revenge on Arashi-teme for taking my job from me… kukuku…they would use their prejudice against son of the Yondaime and kill without knowing who he is… kukuku.' The man turned heel and snaked his way out of the place to allow their hatred of the fox to manifest. “We should finish the demon.” “Yeah, finish the Yondaime's job.” Is what been heard throughout the place. Civilians and several shinobi went to the village wanting blood.
****Hokage Tower****
Sarutobi and Rin walked in the tower and noticed some of the glares at her, more specifically to the boy. It wasn't suspicious for some people to being their children to the tower, since there was a small nursery in the building. The glares were of hatred and disgust, and of fear. The bodyguards that came in right behind them and all ideas of attacking the child were destroy, when people, who sent death glares, felt the massive killing intent from the bodyguards, primary Hyuuga Hizaishi and Takeda Saito. Rin was terribly worried now and held Naruto even closer, `Have the secret have already been linked.'
They got to the nursery, Sarutobi noticed the look of one of the nurses and walked up to her and whispered in her ear. “If you want to keep working anywhere in this village. I suggest you wipe that look off your face.” The nurse looked at Sarutobi to see a disgusted look on his face. She nodded slowly and walked off. The guards took position outside of the door to prevent any other people from coming in. When she and Sarutobi entered the nursery, she noticed five older and in her opinion, extremely well blessed and very glorious women with some small children. Four of the women seemed to be converse in a conversation to have notice the Sandaime Hokage and one was in a rocking chair with a baby cradled in her arms. Rin felt a small tug on her violet-reddish wool kimono; she looked down to see a small boy around the age of one holding up a small cup. He had sunny blonde hair, similar to Naruto's hair (except with a lot more), a cuckoo hairstyle (think of Sasuke's hair) with solid silver irises and almost wolf-like shaped eyes, his pupils were still round and not snake-like like Kenshin, by his face she know he was a Takeda. He wore a black T-shirt, with the Takeda crest on the front (crescent moon, with the `kanji' Takeda in it), blue jeans. The little boy wiped his head to the right and run giggling to his mother who had gotten up from here chair. `She's prettier than me…' Rin thought with a little hint of jealously of the woman's good luck of being glorious at her age. She had waist long black silky hair with her hair tied in a low ponytail, her face was perfect and she wore a purple kimono with leaves design on it that blended with the color that was opened on top. She had a purple shirt to keep herself modest along with a navy-blue Gi jacket over it, on her feet was some high heels. She walked over cradling her other child in her left arm. She greeted them, “Konnichiwa, Sarutobi-san.” She must really know him to call him `Sarutobi-san', instead of the traditional `Sarutobi-sama' or `Hokage-sama'. “How are you feeling this morning, Sarutobi-san?”
“Doing fine. How are you doing Kikiyo-san and the baby?” asked Sarutobi. “Just fine and Kaoru-chan is sound asleep,” she smiled, “…you must be Rin-chan aren't you?” she directed to Rin.
`Chan?' “H-Hai… ma'am.” Rin nervously said, giving a small bow of her head. “There is no reason to be nervous child,” she noticed the bundle in her arms and a grin pleased her face, “so this must be Naruto-kun hmmm.” The mistress of the Takeda clan said. She when over and placed her baby girl inside one of the cribs. “Ladies…” she directed to the other women, “… I would like you to meet Rin-chan.” Rin waved with her free hand at the women. They nodded and walked to her to look at the baby. Which they thought was the most adorable baby. Sarutobi left the room do to some things in his office and meet the counsel. The Takeda Mistress spoke getting everyone's attention, “Oh, please forgive for not properly introducing myself, I am Takeda Kikiyo, but you can call me Lady Kikiyo.” A woman wearing a black long-sleeved shirt with a navy blue knee-length skirt, with red shoulder length hair tied tight in a low ponytail. She had jade-green eyes. The outfit she was wearing commented her every curve. The red head spoke next, “I am Nara Beniko, it's a pleasure.” Beniko said, with a lovely grin. The next woman to spoke, was a rather slender woman with long brown hair that went down to her waist and had black eyes, she was wearing a similar outfit to Beniko, except she had on all black. She had a gold medallion with the crest of Akimichi symbol of `food' on it. “I am Akimichi Kaori, it's a pleasure to finally meet you, Rin-chan.” The lady giggled in lady-like way. “I am Yamanaka Amaya.” Amaya wasn't not exactly big nor too skinny, she wore a navy blue with black trim kimono. She had dark blue hair that went mid-back, with night rain color eyes. She had blue eye shadow that commented her eyes and hair. The woman to her left was slightly shorter then her, making her the shortest of the five woman, minus Rin. She was just as gorgeous as the others. She had black hair that was tied in twin ponytails (Like Tsunade's hair) that also went to mid-back and had black sensual eyes, her face fine tuned, thanks to many facials and other luxuries of being the wife of head clan member of the most prodigious clan of Konoha. “I am Hyuuga Hinako.” The Hyuuga mistress said cheerful voice. “So care to talk Rin-chan on being a mother?” Kikiyo asked. Rin quickly went to one of the unoccupied cribs and placed baby Naruto in it. Before she turned her attention to the other women she gave Naruto's stomach small rubs with her fingertips. She turned around to see the women snickering her left eye started to twitch some and if they see the back of her head they'd see big sweat drop. “Well it would seem she starting to become a mother anyway.” Hinako said snickering. The other ladies nodded and all six of them went to the center of the room and took seats on the floor.
All of them were totally unaware of the massive mob that was forming outside of Hokage Tower.
****Council Chamber of the Hokage Tower****
The chamber is where are all the government of Konoha is held. People in the chamber of the most prodigious clans, various feudal lords, head daimyo of the Fire Country and including the elders, who are the top advisors of the Hokage. Excluding the five-clan heads we have already met, in Konoha there are two Takeda clans on is known as the Ho(Fire) branch family, which is represented by Takahashi and there is the Kaze(wind)branch family represented by a seventeen-year-old man named Zhou; there is Uchiha Fuguku, Lord of the Uchihas, the village's premier Ninjutsu specialists; Inuzuka Hanaku, the Mistress of the Inuzukas; Aburame Shinbi, leader of the Bug Users; Yamato Junichiro, leader of Konoha's Great Healers. There were a few of Konoha's great Martial Artists and Samurai clan leaders, Arisawa Ken, Kuroda Takuji, and Hachisuka Tenoshi. There were the Fire Country's feudal lords, along the Hokage top advisors Mizumaki Dairoku and Miyahara Etsuko, the former teammates of Arashi.
“This meeting of the council shall come in order.” Etsuko said getting the attention of the council. “Takahashi-sama would like to bring something to this council. Takahashi-sama if you would.” Takahashi nodded.
“My fellow council as we all known of Arashi's death, I would like to say that he is not the last of the Kazuma clan. On October tenth, he was given a rightful heir, a son.”
“How can he, he wasn't married?” Donzo yelled angrily, it wasn't a secret that he had deep hatred for Arashi.
“That is right Donzo-dono, it would seem that he had secret affair with a civilian girl, but that is not the real reason I have asked for this meeting. This child is the container of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, the nine-tailed fox.” As soon as he said that shock was plastered on everyone's face, except for the seven people that already known. They started to murmured, the nearly ball headed Donzo spoke, “The demon is not dead.” “No it is impossible to kill the Lord of the Bijuus (Tailed Demons).” “Takahashi-sama, you better tell me where the demon is or else.” Donzo threatened, making a hand gesture to his two swordsmen bodyguards to attack the half-ookami demon Takeda. “That is enough out of you Donzo-dono.” Dairoku said. “Takahashi-sama please continue.”
“Thank you, Dairoku-san… the child have swirl/eight element seal that is effectively holding down the demon. Sealing in is only son was the best thing he can do-…” Takahashi was interrupted in an ANBU member came running though the oak doors.
“Hokage-sama! A big mob has assemble outside the entrance!” the young man yelled.
****Outside of the Tower****
A mob of civilians and some shinobi formed outside of building. They where yelling, “Give us the demon!” and “Kill the demon spawn!” When the Hokage and other people of council members walked out on the second-story of the balcony amazed how many people already known about the boy and started wondering how they found out. Takahashi spoke first, “Hokage-sama it is no use in keeping it from them any longer. I really hate to say this but he must tell them, because if young Naruto ever uses is demonic power in self defense in the future it can mean a very severe civil war in the land of fire.” “I see.” Sarutobi said, taking a drag of his pipe. “Hiashi get Naruto for me please, I think I can some sense into by making in a hero.” Hiashi reluctantly went to the nursery. A few minutes later Hiashi, Rin carrying Naruto and the bodyguards a signed to Naruto came back. The Hokage took the baby into his arms and walked forward. In a loud voice, “People of Konoha, this your savoir, the jailor of the nine tailed fox.”
“So it is true, the demon isn't dead!” yelled one villager.
“Kill it!” yelled another. Sarutobi was in stock he was sure that it would work. The now very convinced and very angry mob rushed for the entrance of the tower. The several shinobi that was in the mob launched into the air aiming their kunais and shurikens at the baby, but only to be locked out of mid air crushing into the ground. Landing in front of the mob was among the best of Konoha's shinobi; Konoha's Green Breast Maito Gai; Sarutobi Asuma, son of the Third; Takeda Kenshin, heir to the Ho (Fire) Branch; Hatake Kakashi, the Copy-cat ninja and Ichimaru Gin, the Smiling Ninja. All who known them back off. They didn't want to fight this five. They was broken out of fear by the Hokage's booming voice, “There is a law that is now put in place… no one will speak of the condition of this boy… you are not allowed to speak of this anymore, not even your children… anyone either civilian or shinobi that will break this law will be given life imprisonment… now go home!” the villagers did not won't to irritate the old man. Sarutobi went inside and turned to Rin handing over Naruto.
“I am sorry Rin-san I thought if I make Naruto sound like a hero, which he is, the village would view him uniquely.” Sarutobi said sadly. He felt guilty for not only making Naruto into a reasonable target, but Rin as well. “It is okay Sarutobi-sama.”
****Rin's apartment****
She took Naruto, along with her bodyguards, including Kenshin, Kakashi, Gai, Gin and Asuma. She placed baby Naruto in the crib in his new home. “Goodnight Naruto-kun.” `Don't worry you won't be alone, you have all of us as your family.' Rin thought of his neat family. Yamanakas. Naras. Takedas. Hyuugas. Akimichis. Now the Sarutobi clan, the Uchihas (They just think he be great for their clan), the Arisawa, the Kuroda and the Hachisuka clans had accepted him. Along with all her friends, she known her and Naruto will not be only ones going though this alone. She smiled and went to turn in for the night, before stopping to see her two best friends Yuuhi Kurenai and Mitarashi Anko passed out on her long sofa. Her left eye twitched in anime style, `Damn free loaders'
