"Are you insane Minato?!" The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked holding a newborn baby boy with blonde hair and whisker like marks on his cheeks, Naruto.

"Look Hiruzen, this plan is for the best," Namikaze Minato the Fourth Hokage replied.

"So the best is to abandon your son while your daughter gets live and train with her parents and godmother?" Jiraiya questioned. "I taught you better than that Minato. Not only that but the whole village thinks you and Kushina are dead! Can you imagine how Kakashi feels thinking that his last living teammate and surrogate father is dead! What about Fugaku and Mikoto loathing this day for years to come because their best friends were taken from them! What about Naruto not knowing who his parents were, not knowing if they are dead or alive!"

"But-"

"Just leave Minato. You've caused enough damage," Hiruzen interrupted. Minato then surrenders then uses the Shunshin to leave.

"Sensei, what are we going to with Naruto?" Jiraiya asked with a worried look on his face.

"I don't know Jiraiya-kun. I don't know," Hiruzen said looking at sleeping Naruto. "But what I do know is that I will try my absolute best to protect him.

We open up to a five year old Naruto hiding in an alley. It's the day the Kyuubi no Kitsune was defeated. And the villagers are particularly cruel to him on this day. 'I need to get Jiji's house. Once I'm there I'll be safe for the rest of the night,' Naruto thought.

"EVERYONE! THERE'S THE DEMON!" A civilian yelled while grabbing onto Naruto's shirt. The rest of the mob dashed over to the alley. "WE'LL DO WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE YEARS AGO!" One of the villagers pulled out a kitchen knife and slashed his back multiple times.

"Please... stop..." Naruto's pleads fell on deaf ears as another one of the villagers aimed a knife at his heart.

Suddenly a hand coated in lightning pierced through the chest of the villager. When the villager fell the assailants were revealed to be 3 ANBU with the masks of a weasel, dog, and crow. Within seconds the mob was killed with a combination of fire and lightning jutsus. After that the ANBU approached the young boy. Before the boy went unconscious the three saw that he had red eyes that resembled the legendary Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan. The three were shocked! "Kakashi! Shisui! You two saw what I saw, right?" The one with the weasel mask asked the two others now identified as Kakashi and Shisui. They nodded. "Alright, you two take Naruto to the hospital, I'll inform the Third," the one with the weasel mask said before the three Shunshin away from the site.
