Disclaimer : I do not own Naruto... Yet, but soon he will mine.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also known as Kami no shinobi stood bewildered; as he watched the gigantic fox vanish into the body of the little child. The barrier that had been keeping them at bay broke at once, letting them in, and there he stood- looking upon what remained of the Namikaze family. On the floor was the lifeless body of Minato Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage and next him to him lay Kushina Uzumaki, his beloved wife. And between them, was the little blond boy who was now the new jinchuriki of the Kyuubi.

'So, this is how it ends' he thought, shocked at all that had unfolded so far. A tear dropped from his eyes, looking at the deceased couple. Such a tragedy…. He lifted up the child and looked at him, the child was crying- loud and clear; as though he could truly feel the pain of his parent's death.

"Get an Anbu squad here right now, we need to dispose everything here and get Minato and Kushina out of here to give them a proper burial, this is the top priority at the moment. Understood?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama" answered the the white masked Anbu, hurrying back to the village at high speeds- while the other one stood guard watching over the scene.

'Hokage… I haven't been called that in a long time. It belonged to you, didn't it Minato? You truly earned it and deserved it. You saved the village and died the way a true shinobi should. I will honor you.

He held the boy tightly to his chest and set back towards the village. "I need to get you to the hospital" he whispered as he vanished into the dark of the cold night with the swirl of leaves. Unknown to him a pair of pale yellow eyes watched him go.

"Ku ku ku you will be perfect for my next experiment"

~A few days later ~

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat at his desk, going through papers- reinstated as Hokage after the death of the Yondaime. He was deep on thinking when all of a sudden, a Anbu barged into the room. He was drenched in sweat and looked fearful with panic. "Hokage-sama", he said bowing, whilst panting. "What is it?" asked Hiruzen suddenly curious looking at the state of the man.

"That child.." he lowered his voice, as he approached Hiruzen. "The Yondaime's son, he's gone sir."

"What do you mean gone?" replied Hiruzen shocked, already forming conspiracy theories in his head.

"He's been taken, sir. We just found three medical ninja's dead, and the child was missing."

"Impossible" he mumbled closing his eyes. None could have known he was the fourth's son. At least not yet. How could it be...?

He finally opened his eyes and issued command. "Alright, Captain. Lead the way; I want to see the scene."

It wasn't long before they finally reached the hospital. It was an old, dull building- long past its prime. It had taken significant damage during the fox attack, and a good number of people had died. Only two kinds of people were present there- there were the ones sobbing and then there were the ones being sobbed over. The place was filled with the stench of medicine and blood, two of which did not quite go well together.

The third Hokage followed at a breakneck pace until they finally arrived in front of a small room on the top floor. The door had been knocked down; its remains still lay untouched crime scene.

The bodies of three shinobi lay on the floor. Two were female and the other was male. There were no marks on them of any sort, surprising as it was- they barely had a scratch on them. Odd Hizuren remarked. The bodies had just begun to smell, so it hadn't been too long since they'd died. He looked upon the bodies once again, inspecting them for something- anything. He turned the head of one of shinobi's, and gasped in shock. Behind her collar, almost barely visible- was a small mark. It was right over her neck, close to the shoulder on the left hand side. It was- a small tattoo. At once Sarutobi let out a breath he'd been holding all along, as he finally came to a conclusion.

Orochimaru.

Without any delay he bit his thumb and start making a series of signs, and placed it on the ground. A strange black seal apparated onto the floor followed by a burst of smoke. The Anbu officer watched with surprise as a big 7 foot monkey erupted out of nowhere.

"Hey, Hiruzen. What's up now? I thought I told you- I need my rest. Especially after that fox fiasco, god knows I could do with some sleep."

"I'm sorry Enma, But I need your help and its very important" He nodded towards the bodies on the floor.

The ape crawled over to the bodies and began examing them.

"Ah", he said all of a sudden, finally stumbling upon the small negligible tattoo. "So, He's back"

"Yes, so it seems" replied Hiruzen, anxiously.

"I always knew that child was wicked. You should have killed him, when you had the chance, Saru. Anyway- I've got the scent. He was careless with this job here. Follow me"

With a swift movement he ran to the window and jumped out head straight. Hiruzen followed suit, with lingering memories of his last encounter with his old student. Perhaps, I should have killed him…but I couldn't…

At first the ape bounded straight out of Konoha, with a perfect sense of direction following a perfect track as though it was hypnotized to walk that way. But after a while he looked disoriented, and lost the path.

"Damn, that Orochimaru. He's good. But I've seen better things in my day. If he thinks his little tricks will stop me, he's got another thing coming."

He roamed around in circles for a while until he finally found the right scent again and set off trotting. A few times, they reached dead ends and well set traps, but they managed to evade all of them, thanks to the ape's keen nose. And before long, they reached the place they'd meant to.

It was a giant cave, leading underground. Hiruzen motioned for the one and only Anbu officer behind him, and commanded him to call for back up. Not so long after he ran off, the ape looked to him.

"You sure about this Saru? You want to go in there alone before reinforcements come?"

"This is Orochimaru we're talking about, he must have sensed us coming - he might already be preparing his escape. I cannot risk losing the fourth's son and the nine tails. I need to go in there and do something. The priority is to get the child to safety. God knows why he's taken the boy and what he's done to him."

"Alright, follow me then." The ape replied still unconvinced.

They went down the murky space of the cave, steeping down carefuly. What had seemed like a cave was actually a well tiled entrance to a large one floored-house. It was all a Genjutsu.

You always loved your jutsu, didn't you Orochimaru? And it is that very desire for it that led you astray. Perhaps I should have seen it, it was there all along. I knew of it- but I'd just refused to acknowledge it. Maybe if I had, I might have been able to do something and just maybe...Maybe…things would have turned out differently.

He dismissed the thoughts; there was no room for such things now. There were bigger priorities here; the child's safety was the foremost. There wasn't much to be seen in the dark space of what seemed to be Orochimaru's temporary residence. It was all rather grim and fowl. Hiruzen blindly followed the ape, trusting his instincts- that would be the fastest way. Looking through each of the rooms present in the cave would have taken much too long by which time Orochimaru would have been long gone.

Finally, as they trekked through the dark- they could see a bright light at the end of the hallway. They ran up to it as fast as they could without giving themselves away. But it was futile, because as they entered silently Orochimaru spoke in his quite snake-like voice.

"Ah, have you come to greet me Sarutobi-sensei ?, Did you miss me? To have found me so quickly despite all my distractions- you still haven't lost your old touch. I am impressed. I thought you'd grown weak and senile after your retirement"

"Where is the boy Orochimaru? What have you done with him?" demanded Hiruzen in a wave of fury.

"Oh, he's here. I was just uh- running some tests" He sneered with a grin on his twisted face, looking towards a big tube filled with a strange green liquid. In it, floating right at the center- was the baby. "But sadly, it seems as though they have failed. The boy will not live even after having Kyuubi in him. A pity, really, he would have been such a perfect specimen in future " He finished.

"OROCHIMARU" screamed a tearful Hiruzen. He had failed the fourth; he had let his legacy die. And it was all his fault. If only he'd been more careful. If only he'd done things right. His life had been nothing but a heap of regrets. But this time, before he passed away- he would set it right. "You will pay for your sins, Orochimaru. I will not leave you. Now I will do what I should've done a long time ago"

"Oops, looks like I've angered you sensei. I'm sorry, I would like to hang back and savor the fun. But I really have to get going. I'm sorry. Another time perhaps?"

Fumes of purple smoke rose out from all directions, and Sarutobi found his senses clouded. It didn't last long, it was only momentary. But by the time he recovered- Orochimaru was gone. All he could here was the distant echoes of his mad laugh emanating. Kukukuku

Hiruzen shouted at Enma to follow Orochimaru and went right to the green tube. He kicked it just hard enough to watch it break and caught the baby safely in his arms. He was a pretty child. With his father's blond hair and blue eyes, and cat like lines lining both his cheeks.

But the baby was not alive. He was not breathing and there was no pulse. No, no. I have failed. I'm responsible. I let the fourth's child die. His parents gave their lives to protect him and I-I failed them both. I made their deaths meaningless. I...

He stopped midway, for a second there he thought he'd felt the baby move. He looked curiously at the boy, begging for it to be true. A second passed, and the baby began crying. He was alive.
