Chapter 1
In the beginning of time and creation, there was no order on earth. On the planet Kami had gifted the humans with, there was only chaos, no laws or rules but one, to survive. Demons ruled over the planet, destroying the land with their powers. And no demons ruled more than the Bijuu (Tailed Demons).
Their power was absolute in this new world, ruling over the earth as gods. The nine demons were unmatched in there powers as each one controlled the lands.
The Ichibi no Tanuki (One-Tailed Raccoon Dog), also known as Shukaku, controlled the north-west.
The Nibi no Neko (Two-Tailed Cat), also known as Nekomata, ruled over the east.
The Sanbi no Kame (Three-Tailed Turtle), also known as Isonade, ruled over the south-east.
The Yonbi no Ondori-Hebi (Four-Tailed Rooster-Snake), also known as Sokou, ruled over the south-west.
The Gobi no Inu (Five-Tailed Dog), also known as Houkou, ruled over the west.
The Rokubi no Itachi (Six-Tailed Weasel), also known as Raijuu, ruled the south.
The Shichibi no Mujina (Seven-Tailed Badger), also known as Kaku, ruled the north-east.
The Hatchibi no Orochi (Eight-Tailed Eight-Headed Serpent), also known as Yamata, ruled the north.
And the last one, the Kyuubi no Kitsune (Nine-Tailed Fox), also known as Youko, ruled the center of the lands.
But even with rule, there was still chaos, because the creatures ruling were beasts of destruction. They fought against each other, wanting more land as their powers clashed. Seas flooded the land, land was crushed and destroyed, mountains crumbled, and forests burned. For hundreds of years, the demons fought and destroyed the earth.
But soon, Humans stood up against the demons, battling them for control of the earth. But the demons were too strong for them, thousands of humans were slain in the fights. Humanity was almost at it’s end.
But a few humans found out how to beat the demons. They could never kill such creatures, beasts of pure destruction and power, but they could seal them away. And that is what they did. They sealed the demons into human hosts, the humans now controlling the power of the Bijuu as the earth finally gained a state of peace.
But it didn’t last long, for with any power, there is also the chance of corruption. The humans held the power of the Bijuu and used it against each other, creating wars as the humans became what the wanted to stop, beasts.
Soon the hosts died as the demons were released again into the earth before they were resealed. This process was repeated as generations went by, few of the demons escaping human hands but staying out of sight, fearing the fact they could be sealed again.
This looked like a process that would last forever till the end of time, but the end of time is growing closer as humans now search for the powers of the demons again. This time around, the demons might win the battle, and the war. After all, who can control a demon forever before it gets it’s chance to strike you back?

Darkness had fallen over Konoha. The village glowed in the night with it’s burning buildings. People can be seen running all through out the village, using Suiton (Water Release) Jutsus to put out the fires. It had been a horrible day for the people of Konoha.
Only hours before, they had been attacked by the great Demon, Kyuubi no Kitsune. It’s roars were filled with malice and rage as it’s claws ripped through the forest right before their village. Countless Shinobi fought against the beast, many were lost. It’s power was too great, it’s flames and chakra burning and killing all who came near it as it rampaged Konoha.
It’s red fur lit with Kitsune Hi (Fox Fire) as it’s large claws crushed and tore through any humans in it’s way. Large fireballs struck the village like bombs, blowing up any buildings they hit. It’s many tails created cyclones and earthquakes, crushing all the land near it. Those who survived the attack will always remember the demon’s blood red eyes, slitted and sated with hatred and anger as it cut down their comrades.
As they continued to lose comrades, they also lost hope that this beast could be beaten. But that hope came running back as a gaint red toad appeared behind the front lines, right in front of the demon fox. It wore a large jacket with a Kanji on the back for ‘Chief’. At his side was a sheath with a blade in it with a pipe in its mouth. But it wasn’t the toad that made them regain their hope, it was the man on top of the toad.
On the toad was a spiky, blond-haired man with deep blue eyes that stared at the monster destroying his village. He wore a large white coat with a flame design running at the bottom, under it was a Jonin jacket and dark blue pants. On the back of the coat was a Kanji for ‘Fourth’. The strange thing was what he was carrying in his arms.
It was a baby, looking similar to himself in the blond hair on his head. On his stomach was a swirling seal, ending where the belly button is. The child opened his eyes and showed light blue eyes that looked around the curiosity, wondering what was happening. The man smiled before his face turned emotionless, turning to the fox. He ordered the toad he was on to hold off the demon and the creature complied, attacking the fox with Suiton Jutsu as the fox attacked back with it’s Kitsune Hi. While all of this going on, the man was doing a long chain of handseals as he held the child with part of his arm.
The two giants continued their dance of fire and water as the ninjas backed up, seeing that they would only be a burden to the toad if they fought. The fire burnt the land as the water washed away the flames. It truly looked like a battle between gods to the ninjas.
The man called out to the toad, telling it to hold the demon in place. The summon nodded at this as it’s webbed hands thrusted forward and grabbed the fox. The beast growled as his tails lashed out, wrapping around the toads legs and arms, the demon trying to bite the toad’s head off. The summon grunted as it moved it’s arms around and wrapped them around the muzzle of the demon, holding it in place.
The man on top of the toad finally finished the long chain of seals. During this, he looked at the child in his arms, his eyes shinning with many emotions. Sadness, love, pain, and many others as he struggles to do what he is about to do. He stares at the fox demon and calls out two words, “Shiki Fujin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal).”
A wave of dread and power washed across the land, even stopping the Kyuubi in its tracks. The Konoha Shinobi looked around, searching for the source of this power. It would not matter, for they could not see the figure behind the blond man.
It was a large, human-like figure, but if you looked closely it wouldn’t seem so human. It had purple skin with two horns adorning it’s forehead. Long white hair waved behind it as it floated behind the man, clothed in a large white coat. It’s sharp teeth held a blade in its mouth as it looked at the man then the beast, nodding as it understood what was happening.
The beast looked on at fear at the creature behind the man, recognizing it as the Shinigami (Death God). It unwrapped it’s tails from the toad as it tried to escape, but it was too late. The being behind the Forth suddenly shot it’s hand through his stomach, the man gasping as the hand shot through the chest and tore into the demon’s chest, seemingly grabbing something inside the beast.
The fox roared in pain and anger as it felt something being pulled out of it’s body. This lasted for a minute before the Death God ripped it’s hand out of the Kyuubi, in it’s hand was a large, dark red ball of fire. The body of the fox roared as it set ablaze with chakra, it’s body turning into pure energy as the power rushed to the flaming ball. Once there was nothing left of the Kyuubi’s body, the Shinigami pulled it’s hand to the child in the man’s arms and thrusted the ball into the baby’s stomach, the child crying loudly at this as if he were in pain.
The man looked on in sorrow as he knew part of this was his doing but set in his mind that there was no other way. Finally the fire ball was fully in the child’s stomach, the seal glowing brightly before it faded, not leaving any trace there was ever a seal there. The man sighs “Well, this is good bye Bunta.”
The large toad nodded, “Yes it is. Don’t worry Minato, I will take care of the kid when he signs the contract.”
Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime Hokage smiled at this. “Thank you old friend.” These were his final words before the Death God’s hand reached in and ripped out something from the Ninja’s body. The blond’s eyes became lifeless as the God held a whitish-blue ball of fire in it’s hand then swallowed it whole. Gamabunta sighed as he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
The body of the Forth fell, his arms still wrapped around the child as he plummeted to the ground. Before he slammed into the ground, two figures jumped at him and caught bot hthe child and Minato. The one who caught the child was a old looking man with white hair and brown eyes. He wore a suit of fishnets underneath his jumpsuit. (The thing he fought Orochimaru in, I can’t really describe it).
The other one who caught Minato was a bit yonger looking. The figure was 6ft tall with black hair that was kept down to a short buzz cut, giving him a militaristic look. On his body was a tight black muscle shirt with a long black overcoat. On the coat were several Kanji, which were red in color, in the back of it. The Kanjis read “If you want peace, prepare for war.” Sticking out from behind his right shoulder was the handle to one of his Katanas, said Katana in a red sheath.
Long black cargo pants covered the entire length of his legs. A belt is wrapped around his waist with a buckle that had a small skull on one side and a red Kanji for “7.” on the other side. The belt holds the black sheath, with red stripes going down it, for his second Katana. On his feet were black combat boots that have obviously been altered to make them easier to move around in and carry weapons in.
The man looked up to the old man beside him, his eyes had a blood red outer ring in the Iris with a inner purple ring in them. But the color couldn’t hide the pain in them, “I guess we should go back to the village.”
The old man said nothing as he held the now sleeping child in his arms. They both stood up with the child/adult in their arms and jumps away back to the village.
Now hours later we find the two men from before in the Hokage’s office, a crib in the middle of the room with the blond baby inside, sleeping soundly. The younger man looked at Konoha, the buildings finally put out as everyone tended to the wounded or weny back to their homes. The older man, who was sitting down in a chair, sighed, “And to think I thought I would be rid of this job, and the blasted paperwork, forever when Minato took the job.”
The other man nodded as he spoke “Yep, he was better at this than you Sarutobi, since he could do this paperwork in less than two hours.” He chuckled as he could feel the glare the Hokage was giving him.
“Yes, you must tell me sometime what he used to defeat this damn paperwork, Senbotsu.”
Senbostu turned around to face Sarutobi. He said nothing as his eyes looked around the room and stoped at the crib. He just stared at it form a few minutes then sighed. “You know the villagers will be pissed, right? The cause of this destruction right in front of them, helpless. You can’t tell them.”
The old man looked at Sen straight in the eye, “I can’t keep a secret like this away from them. Konoha has good people in it, I know that most, if not all will accept the child.”
Now it was the black haired man’s turn to glare “You know what they will do when they find out! They will demand that Naruto will be executed, thinking he is the Kyuubi! They might not have the power to kill him, but the Council does! I will not have the son of my best friend killed, not even a week old!”
The Sandaime sighed, knowing this would be true. He turned and looked at the crib with the baby in it. His eyes calculating a idea for this problem when one popped into his head. He turned his head a bit to Senbotsu “You know.....Minato was planning on giving you a pay leave, since you had been on so many missions lately, mostly A and S-ranked.”
Senbotsu raised a eyebrow at this but nodded, knowing this since the Yondaime told him so himself. ‘What is he up to.....’ he thought as he gave the Hokage a questioning look. Sarutobi just smirked at him.
“Well I’m going to give you a pay leave also, just a bit longer than planned. But only if things go wrong like you think they are.”
The smirk on Sarutobi’s face must be contagious, because it was on Senbotsu’s face as well. At that moment, the little Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto woke up blinking then giggled, as if knowing what the two mens’ plan was.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next day had come, all the people of the village were called to the center for a announcement. Everyone looked at the stage where the third stood, wonderinng what news he held.
“People of Konoha, it has been a sad time for us, for in the attack of the Kyuubi no Kitsune we had lost many Shinobi and our own Yondaime Hokage.” The people all looked sad, seeing as their greatest hero was gone for good.
“But fear not, I have come out of retirement as the Sandaime Hokage. I will lead this village once again. And that is not all, for we have the savior of the attack with us today!” the old man turned his head to the right, looking at Senbotsu. The man nodded and walked over, handing the child in his arms to Sarutobi.
The man held up Naruto as he yelled out “I present to you our savior, Uzumaki Naruto! Who is Jinchuriki (Human Sacrifice) of the Kyuubi and holds the beast at bay! The Yondaime sacrificed his life to seal the demon inside this boy!”
There was silence in the crowd as they learned this information before one villager screamed “That’s not the savior, THAT’S THE DEMON!!” the others in the crowd yelled, saying the same thing as the foolish villager.
“KILL THE DEMON!!”
“RID OUR VILLAGE OF THIS STAIN!!”
Senbotsu growled at this, knowing this was how it was going to go. He moved to where Naruto and Sarutobi were before his eyes caught something flying threw the air. It shined and he realized it was a Kunai! One heading at Naruto. He moved his hand to his tool pouch but before he he could do anything, another Kunai blocked the other knife. He turned part of his head in the direction from where the Ninja tool came from and saw a 14 year old, silver-headed child.
He grinned as he instantly knew who it was. Hatake Kakashi was the boy’s name. He was from Minato’s Genin team if he remembered correctly. He shook his head then jumped to where the Hokage and child were, this was no time for reminiscing.
Sarutobi growled as he jumped to the back of the stage when Senbotsu jumped next to him, with a “I told you so” look. He twitched “I know what your thinking but lets wait till we are at my office to talk about it.” Senbotsu nodded at this as he held up a Kunai from his tool pouch, looking around for any knifes or Shuriken that could be heading at him but growled at what he saw.
The whole place had become a part battle ground as villagers tried to get there way near the Sandaime with weapons in their hands while Ninja tried to jump over to where the child was. Anbu and other Ninja who knew the child was only human blocked their way, protecting the Hokage and the Jinchuriki.
The old man snarled at this as he looked at Senbotsu, handing the child to him. The man complied, seeing as the Hokage looked pissed as hell. Sarutobi turned to the crowd and shouted out in a voice that scared the hell out of the villagers and frightened the Ninjas a bit.
“QUIET ALL OF YOU!!! IF ANY OF YOU TOUCH THIS CHILD WITH ILL INTENT, I WILL KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND!!! NEVER TRY TO HARM THIS CHILD OR ELSE!! NOW RETURN TO YOUR HOMES AND GO GET SOEM SLEEP!! AND NEVER THINK OF HARMING THIS CHILD!!” Just to show he was serous, Sarutobi formed a few handseals as the earth rocked beneath them. Behind him rises a large dragon made of mud and earth that roared at the people.
The people of Konoha fled in fear of the old man, the Ninja’s jumpping from roof to roof as they ran. Senbotsu sighed as the child in his arms started to cry as Sarutobi walked over to him after dispelling the earth dragon. The Sandaime grabbed Senbotsu’s shoulder and used Shunshin (Body Flicker) to teleport them to the Hokage’s office.
This is where we find them now, with Senbotsu glaring at Sarutobi with a “I told you so” look again. Sarutobi sighs, “Fine...you can take him. But I want him back in at least 10 years so he can get to know the children of his generation.”
Senbotsu nodded, understanding why. He turned to leave via Shunshin with Naruto in his arms but stopped, looking back to the Hokage, “What are you going to tell them while I’m gone?”
That old smirk somehow found its way back to the old man’s face “You just leave that to me.”
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The smirk was still on the old man’s face as he sat before the Council of Konoha. All the civilians were roaring about killing the child of the Kyuubi as the Shinobis yelled back at them that they shouldn’t kill a innocent child for deeds he hasn’t done. The only one of the Shinobi council that wasn’t yelling was Danzo, who was talking about turning the child into a weapon for the village.
Even as the Hokage yelled, the smirk was still in place. “QUIET!!! Now, on the discussion of young Uzumaki Naruto, I have aready took matters into my own hands.”
Everyone blinked at this as they stared at the old man, wondering what he meant. One of the Shinobi however, one Uchiha Fugaku, looked at Sarutobi and asked, “Speaking of the child, where is he?”
If it was possible, the smirk on his face grew bigger as Sarutobi replied, “Why he is out of the village with one of our most powerful and trust worthy Ninja, Kokuei Senbotsu.”
Said ninja blinks when he heard a loud cry of “WHAT???!!!” then shook his head as he walked away from Konoha, holding a sleeping Naruto in his arms.

In the beginning of time and creation, there was no order on earth. On the planet Kami had gifted the humans with, there was only chaos, no laws or rules but one, to survive. Demons ruled over the planet, destroying the land with their powers. And no demons ruled more than the Bijuu (Tailed Demons).
Their power was absolute in this new world, ruling over the earth as gods. The nine demons were unmatched in there powers as each one controlled the lands.
The Ichibi no Tanuki (One-Tailed Raccoon Dog), also known as Shukaku, controlled the north-west.
The Nibi no Neko (Two-Tailed Cat), also known as Nekomata, ruled over the east.
The Sanbi no Kame (Three-Tailed Turtle), also known as Isonade, ruled over the south-east.
The Yonbi no Ondori-Hebi (Four-Tailed Rooster-Snake), also known as Sokou, ruled over the south-west.
The Gobi no Inu (Five-Tailed Dog), also known as Houkou, ruled over the west.
The Rokubi no Itachi (Six-Tailed Weasel), also known as Raijuu, ruled the south.
The Shichibi no Mujina (Seven-Tailed Badger), also known as Kaku, ruled the north-east.
The Hatchibi no Orochi (Eight-Tailed Eight-Headed Serpent), also known as Yamata, ruled the north.
And the last one, the Kyuubi no Kitsune (Nine-Tailed Fox), also known as Youko, ruled the center of the lands.
But even with rule, there was still chaos, because the creatures ruling were beasts of destruction. They fought against each other, wanting more land as their powers clashed. Seas flooded the land, land was crushed and destroyed, mountains crumbled, and forests burned. For hundreds of years, the demons fought and destroyed the earth.
But soon, Humans stood up against the demons, battling them for control of the earth. But the demons were too strong for them, thousands of humans were slain in the fights. Humanity was almost at it’s end.
But a few humans found out how to beat the demons. They could never kill such creatures, beasts of pure destruction and power, but they could seal them away. And that is what they did. They sealed the demons into human hosts, the humans now controlling the power of the Bijuu as the earth finally gained a state of peace.
But it didn’t last long, for with any power, there is also the chance of corruption. The humans held the power of the Bijuu and used it against each other, creating wars as the humans became what the wanted to stop, beasts.
Soon the hosts died as the demons were released again into the earth before they were resealed. This process was repeated as generations went by, few of the demons escaping human hands but staying out of sight, fearing the fact they could be sealed again.
This looked like a process that would last forever till the end of time, but the end of time is growing closer as humans now search for the powers of the demons again. This time around, the demons might win the battle, and the war. After all, who can control a demon forever before it gets it’s chance to strike you back?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Darkness had fallen over Konoha. The village glowed in the night with it’s burning buildings. People can be seen running all through out the village, using Suiton (Water Release) Jutsus to put out the fires. It had been a horrible day for the people of Konoha.
Only hours before, they had been attacked by the great Demon, Kyuubi no Kitsune. It’s roars were filled with malice and rage as it’s claws ripped through the forest right before their village. Countless Shinobi fought against the beast, many were lost. It’s power was too great, it’s flames and chakra burning and killing all who came near it as it rampaged Konoha.
It’s red fur lit with Kitsune Hi (Fox Fire) as it’s large claws crushed and tore through any humans in it’s way. Large fireballs struck the village like bombs, blowing up any buildings they hit. It’s many tails created cyclones and earthquakes, crushing all the land near it. Those who survived the attack will always remember the demon’s blood red eyes, slitted and sated with hatred and anger as it cut down their comrades.
As they continued to lose comrades, they also lost hope that this beast could be beaten. But that hope came running back as a gaint red toad appeared behind the front lines, right in front of the demon fox. It wore a large jacket with a Kanji on the back for ‘Chief’. At his side was a sheath with a blade in it with a pipe in its mouth. But it wasn’t the toad that made them regain their hope, it was the man on top of the toad.
On the toad was a spiky, blond-haired man with deep blue eyes that stared at the monster destroying his village. He wore a large white coat with a flame design running at the bottom, under it was a Jonin jacket and dark blue pants. On the back of the coat was a Kanji for ‘Fourth’. The strange thing was what he was carrying in his arms.
It was a baby, looking similar to himself in the blond hair on his head. On his stomach was a swirling seal, ending where the belly button is. The child opened his eyes and showed light blue eyes that looked around the curiosity, wondering what was happening. The man smiled before his face turned emotionless, turning to the fox. He ordered the toad he was on to hold off the demon and the creature complied, attacking the fox with Suiton Jutsu as the fox attacked back with it’s Kitsune Hi. While all of this going on, the man was doing a long chain of handseals as he held the child with part of his arm.
The two giants continued their dance of fire and water as the ninjas backed up, seeing that they would only be a burden to the toad if they fought. The fire burnt the land as the water washed away the flames. It truly looked like a battle between gods to the ninjas.
The man called out to the toad, telling it to hold the demon in place. The summon nodded at this as it’s webbed hands thrusted forward and grabbed the fox. The beast growled as his tails lashed out, wrapping around the toads legs and arms, the demon trying to bite the toad’s head off. The summon grunted as it moved it’s arms around and wrapped them around the muzzle of the demon, holding it in place.
The man on top of the toad finally finished the long chain of seals. During this, he looked at the child in his arms, his eyes shinning with many emotions. Sadness, love, pain, and many others as he struggles to do what he is about to do. He stares at the fox demon and calls out two words, “Shiki Fujin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal).”
A wave of dread and power washed across the land, even stopping the Kyuubi in its tracks. The Konoha Shinobi looked around, searching for the source of this power. It would not matter, for they could not see the figure behind the blond man.
It was a large, human-like figure, but if you looked closely it wouldn’t seem so human. It had purple skin with two horns adorning it’s forehead. Long white hair waved behind it as it floated behind the man, clothed in a large white coat. It’s sharp teeth held a blade in its mouth as it looked at the man then the beast, nodding as it understood what was happening.
The beast looked on at fear at the creature behind the man, recognizing it as the Shinigami (Death God). It unwrapped it’s tails from the toad as it tried to escape, but it was too late. The being behind the Forth suddenly shot it’s hand through his stomach, the man gasping as the hand shot through the chest and tore into the demon’s chest, seemingly grabbing something inside the beast.
The fox roared in pain and anger as it felt something being pulled out of it’s body. This lasted for a minute before the Death God ripped it’s hand out of the Kyuubi, in it’s hand was a large, dark red ball of fire. The body of the fox roared as it set ablaze with chakra, it’s body turning into pure energy as the power rushed to the flaming ball. Once there was nothing left of the Kyuubi’s body, the Shinigami pulled it’s hand to the child in the man’s arms and thrusted the ball into the baby’s stomach, the child crying loudly at this as if he were in pain.
The man looked on in sorrow as he knew part of this was his doing but set in his mind that there was no other way. Finally the fire ball was fully in the child’s stomach, the seal glowing brightly before it faded, not leaving any trace there was ever a seal there. The man sighs “Well, this is good bye Bunta.”
The large toad nodded, “Yes it is. Don’t worry Minato, I will take care of the kid when he signs the contract.”
Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime Hokage smiled at this. “Thank you old friend.” These were his final words before the Death God’s hand reached in and ripped out something from the Ninja’s body. The blond’s eyes became lifeless as the God held a whitish-blue ball of fire in it’s hand then swallowed it whole. Gamabunta sighed as he disappeared in a puff of smoke.
The body of the Forth fell, his arms still wrapped around the child as he plummeted to the ground. Before he slammed into the ground, two figures jumped at him and caught bot hthe child and Minato. The one who caught the child was a old looking man with white hair and brown eyes. He wore a suit of fishnets underneath his jumpsuit. (The thing he fought Orochimaru in, I can’t really describe it).
The other one who caught Minato was a bit yonger looking. The figure was 6ft tall with black hair that was kept down to a short buzz cut, giving him a militaristic look. On his body was a tight black muscle shirt with a long black overcoat. On the coat were several Kanji, which were red in color, in the back of it. The Kanjis read “If you want peace, prepare for war.” Sticking out from behind his right shoulder was the handle to one of his Katanas, said Katana in a red sheath.
Long black cargo pants covered the entire length of his legs. A belt is wrapped around his waist with a buckle that had a small skull on one side and a red Kanji for “7.” on the other side. The belt holds the black sheath, with red stripes going down it, for his second Katana. On his feet were black combat boots that have obviously been altered to make them easier to move around in and carry weapons in.
The man looked up to the old man beside him, his eyes had a blood red outer ring in the Iris with a inner purple ring in them. But the color couldn’t hide the pain in them, “I guess we should go back to the village.”
The old man said nothing as he held the now sleeping child in his arms. They both stood up with the child/adult in their arms and jumps away back to the village.
Now hours later we find the two men from before in the Hokage’s office, a crib in the middle of the room with the blond baby inside, sleeping soundly. The younger man looked at Konoha, the buildings finally put out as everyone tended to the wounded or weny back to their homes. The older man, who was sitting down in a chair, sighed, “And to think I thought I would be rid of this job, and the blasted paperwork, forever when Minato took the job.”
The other man nodded as he spoke “Yep, he was better at this than you Sarutobi, since he could do this paperwork in less than two hours.” He chuckled as he could feel the glare the Hokage was giving him.
“Yes, you must tell me sometime what he used to defeat this damn paperwork, Senbotsu.”
Senbostu turned around to face Sarutobi. He said nothing as his eyes looked around the room and stoped at the crib. He just stared at it form a few minutes then sighed. “You know the villagers will be pissed, right? The cause of this destruction right in front of them, helpless. You can’t tell them.”
The old man looked at Sen straight in the eye, “I can’t keep a secret like this away from them. Konoha has good people in it, I know that most, if not all will accept the child.”
Now it was the black haired man’s turn to glare “You know what they will do when they find out! They will demand that Naruto will be executed, thinking he is the Kyuubi! They might not have the power to kill him, but the Council does! I will not have the son of my best friend killed, not even a week old!”
The Sandaime sighed, knowing this would be true. He turned and looked at the crib with the baby in it. His eyes calculating a idea for this problem when one popped into his head. He turned his head a bit to Senbotsu “You know.....Minato was planning on giving you a pay leave, since you had been on so many missions lately, mostly A and S-ranked.”
Senbotsu raised a eyebrow at this but nodded, knowing this since the Yondaime told him so himself. ‘What is he up to.....’ he thought as he gave the Hokage a questioning look. Sarutobi just smirked at him.
“Well I’m going to give you a pay leave also, just a bit longer than planned. But only if things go wrong like you think they are.”
The smirk on Sarutobi’s face must be contagious, because it was on Senbotsu’s face as well. At that moment, the little Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto woke up blinking then giggled, as if knowing what the two mens’ plan was.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next day had come, all the people of the village were called to the center for a announcement. Everyone looked at the stage where the third stood, wonderinng what news he held.
“People of Konoha, it has been a sad time for us, for in the attack of the Kyuubi no Kitsune we had lost many Shinobi and our own Yondaime Hokage.” The people all looked sad, seeing as their greatest hero was gone for good.
“But fear not, I have come out of retirement as the Sandaime Hokage. I will lead this village once again. And that is not all, for we have the savior of the attack with us today!” the old man turned his head to the right, looking at Senbotsu. The man nodded and walked over, handing the child in his arms to Sarutobi.
The man held up Naruto as he yelled out “I present to you our savior, Uzumaki Naruto! Who is Jinchuriki (Human Sacrifice) of the Kyuubi and holds the beast at bay! The Yondaime sacrificed his life to seal the demon inside this boy!”
There was silence in the crowd as they learned this information before one villager screamed “That’s not the savior, THAT’S THE DEMON!!” the others in the crowd yelled, saying the same thing as the foolish villager.
“KILL THE DEMON!!”
“RID OUR VILLAGE OF THIS STAIN!!”
Senbotsu growled at this, knowing this was how it was going to go. He moved to where Naruto and Sarutobi were before his eyes caught something flying threw the air. It shined and he realized it was a Kunai! One heading at Naruto. He moved his hand to his tool pouch but before he he could do anything, another Kunai blocked the other knife. He turned part of his head in the direction from where the Ninja tool came from and saw a 14 year old, silver-headed child.
He grinned as he instantly knew who it was. Hatake Kakashi was the boy’s name. He was from Minato’s Genin team if he remembered correctly. He shook his head then jumped to where the Hokage and child were, this was no time for reminiscing.
Sarutobi growled as he jumped to the back of the stage when Senbotsu jumped next to him, with a “I told you so” look. He twitched “I know what your thinking but lets wait till we are at my office to talk about it.” Senbotsu nodded at this as he held up a Kunai from his tool pouch, looking around for any knifes or Shuriken that could be heading at him but growled at what he saw.
The whole place had become a part battle ground as villagers tried to get there way near the Sandaime with weapons in their hands while Ninja tried to jump over to where the child was. Anbu and other Ninja who knew the child was only human blocked their way, protecting the Hokage and the Jinchuriki.
The old man snarled at this as he looked at Senbotsu, handing the child to him. The man complied, seeing as the Hokage looked pissed as hell. Sarutobi turned to the crowd and shouted out in a voice that scared the hell out of the villagers and frightened the Ninjas a bit.
“QUIET ALL OF YOU!!! IF ANY OF YOU TOUCH THIS CHILD WITH ILL INTENT, I WILL KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND!!! NEVER TRY TO HARM THIS CHILD OR ELSE!! NOW RETURN TO YOUR HOMES AND GO GET SOEM SLEEP!! AND NEVER THINK OF HARMING THIS CHILD!!” Just to show he was serous, Sarutobi formed a few handseals as the earth rocked beneath them. Behind him rises a large dragon made of mud and earth that roared at the people.
The people of Konoha fled in fear of the old man, the Ninja’s jumpping from roof to roof as they ran. Senbotsu sighed as the child in his arms started to cry as Sarutobi walked over to him after dispelling the earth dragon. The Sandaime grabbed Senbotsu’s shoulder and used Shunshin (Body Flicker) to teleport them to the Hokage’s office.
This is where we find them now, with Senbotsu glaring at Sarutobi with a “I told you so” look again. Sarutobi sighs, “Fine...you can take him. But I want him back in at least 10 years so he can get to know the children of his generation.”
Senbotsu nodded, understanding why. He turned to leave via Shunshin with Naruto in his arms but stopped, looking back to the Hokage, “What are you going to tell them while I’m gone?”
That old smirk somehow found its way back to the old man’s face “You just leave that to me.”

The smirk was still on the old man’s face as he sat before the Council of Konoha. All the civilians were roaring about killing the child of the Kyuubi as the Shinobis yelled back at them that they shouldn’t kill a innocent child for deeds he hasn’t done. The only one of the Shinobi council that wasn’t yelling was Danzo, who was talking about turning the child into a weapon for the village.
Even as the Hokage yelled, the smirk was still in place. “QUIET!!! Now, on the discussion of young Uzumaki Naruto, I have aready took matters into my own hands.”
Everyone blinked at this as they stared at the old man, wondering what he meant. One of the Shinobi however, one Uchiha Fugaku, looked at Sarutobi and asked, “Speaking of the child, where is he?”
If it was possible, the smirk on his face grew bigger as Sarutobi replied, “Why he is out of the village with one of our most powerful and trust worthy Ninja, Kokuei Senbotsu.”
Said ninja blinks when he heard a loud cry of “WHAT???!!!” then shook his head as he walked away from Konoha, holding a sleeping Naruto in his arms.
