Council Chambers.

*Hiruzen walked into the sacred chambers, or how he prefers to call it, his personal hell. He looked around to see all the clan heads already sitting on the right side and the civilian council to the left. The elders sat directly in front of his seat. With a sigh, not being able to delay this any longer He took his seat with two ANBU standing guard behind him.
Homura cleared his throat, so that the meeting could finally begin*

Homura: Hiruzen, all of us would like to know what became of the Kyūbi?

*The old decrepit fool in hiruzen's eyes asked the thought on everyone's mind, and everyone looked at Hiruzen expectantly. Hiruzen's eyes turned cold, as after so long, he had to go back into hokage mode*

Hiruzen: The Kyūbi has been defeated, and the threat has passed. Minato used a forbidden jutsu to split, the kyubi in 3 parts and to seal the
Kyūbi.

*Hiruzen said as everyone took a sigh of relief but Shikaku spoke up, much to Hiruzen's discomfort. The Smartest of the clans in konoha, just didn't know when to leave well enough alone*

Shikaku: Hokage-sama, You said he split and sealed the Kyūbi. What did he seal it into?

*Shikaku questioned, making everyone look at Hiruzen. While the old hokage for his part cursed under his breath, damning the Nara clan and their intelligence. But he remained with an unreadable face*

Hiruzen: Minato namikaze, the previous hokage, decided to seal it in his daughters, He split the Kyūbi into three parts. He sealed the Yin and Yang part of the 9 tails chakra into his newborn twin daughters Narumi and Mito; seeing that they had their mother's strong Uzumaki genes, they should be able to handle the power it'll give them

Danzo: and the soul of the vile creature? What of it?

*Danzo asked, hiruzen looked at the man who at one point in time, was his closest friend. Now? All hiruzen saw was a stranger looking back at him. Hiruzen took a small breath, before he continued to speak*

Hiruzen: that was the second part of the forbidden jutsu. Minato sacrificed his very soul to destroy the kyubi soul forever, with his. Then made the shinigami swallow him whole. The kyubi will never be reborn again

*Hiruzen said, lying through his teeth. But just like anko said, everyone bought it. The civilians and Shinobi, all saw Minato as some sort of angelic figure for his sacrifice. But all that hiruzen cared about, was the fact that now Naruto will have a normal life. Things were going smoothly until Danzo decided to speak again*

Danzo: hokage. I suggest that
you let me take over their training and upbringing. I'll help them control their emotions better, and make them
absolutely loyal to the village.

Hiruzen" even if orochimaru was in my position, he would still never give them to you"

*Hiruzen thought at danzo's suggestion, just as hiruzen was about to deny that wholeheartedly, even if he did currently hate kushina. He would never do something so petty as giving her children to danzo. Anyways, just as he was about to speak. The head of the civilian council spoke up, one Mebuki Haruno*

Mebuki: excuse me. But since danzo brought them up. Where are the children of the hokage? They are the heroes of the village, by taking up such a tremendous burden on there shoulders. It would be appreciated, if we knew of there conditions

Hiruzen: their conditions are that they are well and healthy. But seeing how fragile konoha is currently is. Kushina decided it would be in their best interests to take up an old uzumaki clan property in the fire capital

*Hiruzen explained, his hokage neutral mask almost broke. When he spoke about kushina. His anger almost took over. But he powered through and kept explaining her decision*

Hiruzen: kushina and the heirs of the uzumaki and namikaze clan respectively will be safe there under the protection of the Daimyo. She will return after she they're trained to an adequate level, they will come back here by the time their genin exams are upon us.

*Hiruzen told them in a neutral expression. He did find a small bit of enjoyment, seeing danzo outraged as he stood up, slamming his fists on the table, showing why he was never picked to be the hokage. He had no patience*

Danzo: You can't allow that Hiruzen! The jinchuriki must stay close to the village, now more than ever. After such an attack, konoha will seem vulnerable against the other villages. How much more weak, will we seem to them, if they find out the jinchuriki twins aren't even in konoha? We must demand the uzumaki head to return at once! And trained by people more qualified than kushina uzumaki, the woman has no experience teaching, she hasn't even had a genin team to lead! This is truly unacceptable

*Danzo spoke loudly, firm on his demands. This did cause a small ruckus as the council members discussed and disagreed with each other. All that talking just gave Hiruzen a headache as he sighed, not even sparing a glance at the power hungry old fool. Hiruzen took his pipe and ignited it, he took a deep smoke, while he waited for the council to calm down. Once they all did, hiruzen responded to danzo*

Hiruzen: While that is true, Danzō, you yourself have clarified that we do not have the necessary forces to spare for their protection. We need to concentrate all of our resources, on repairing our village, healing our injured, training more Shinobi. The other nations won't attack us, as long as we show unity. As for kushina and her daughters ? They will be much more safe at the fire capital. As for their training. All we can do is hope that kushina does a decent job. If not, whoever they're sensei will be on the future, will train them. That is final. They will not be returning a moment sooner

Back to the present

*That was 3 days ago, since then hiruzen has been getting demands none stop, to have kushina bring back her daughter. Those papers go to the trash, since kushina was the last person, hiruzen wanted to see right now. Hiruzen took out his pipe, about to enjoy a smoke, when it suddenly disappeared from his hand. He looked around, and saw snake, with a pipe on her hands*

Anko: lord hokage. I know you know better. Than to smoke with a baby in the room

Hiruzen: hm. Then perhaps I should take a walk and smoke. Since kami knows I need one

*Hiruzen said with a sigh, he was completely stressed, with the demands of the council, the demands of the village, the demands of taking care of a child in his old age, something has got to give. But before Hiruzen could continue that line of thought.  Suddenly, the window slid open, hiruzen looked and saw Kakashi and Jiraiya walked in. He glanced back but anko was gone, back to hiding in the Shadows, with the rest of the anbu*

Hiruzen: I was waiting for you two, Come on in, we have so much to discuss.

*Hiruzen said as he motioned them in. Both hopped in, and stood in front of the table. Hiruzen looked at them. Jiraiya looked up, and gave a crooked grin to his old teacher*

Jiraiya: So you retook the seat, eh, old man? The kid left his hat way too early

Hiruzen: That he did

*Hiruzen said, agreeing with what jiraiya whispered. Hiruzen sighed and spoke to his student first, hoping. No. Praying, that at least he wouldn't disappoint him, like Tsunade and orochimaru have done*

Hiruzen: Jiraiya. Minato has left a great burden upon my shoulders, a burden which Kushina does not wish to see reason to.

Jiraiya: what do you mean by that old man? Does this have to do with Minato's daughters?

*jiraiya questioned confused. But Hiruzen said nothing to elaborate, and pointed towards the crib where the soft snores of a baby resonated from. Both Kakashi and Jiraiya walked over to the crib, and couldn't help but gasp in shock. They didn't need it to be explained to them, who the baby belonged to. They already knew. Jiraiya gulped before he spoke*

Jiraiya: hiruzen... Why...just why?

* Jiraiya said softly, not understanding why the child was here. Hell, how he was here. From what kushina told him. She only had 2 daughters. And the nod from his old teacher just made him even more confused, as he spoke his opinion*

Jiraiya: I thought Kushina gave birth to two daughters, not a son as well. I should know She told me as such, before I received your letter. If he is, in fact, her son…then why is he here, why is he not in the fire capital with kushina and his sisters?

*Jiraiya asked. Hiruzen didn't sugar coat anything. He made sure to tell them both, the events of the hospital, repeating word for word what she said. To the lie he told the council. Kakashi couldn't believe that kushina, someone he saw as almost a parental figure, could say such a thing to her own baby*

Hiruzen: She blames him for the death of Minato, Jiraiya. She looks at like him as if he is the Kyūbi reborn. Kushina is looking for someone to blame and vent, and has sadly chosen little Naruto as her culprit. Last night, she disowned him, and even threatened to kill him. Now, Jiraiya, I wish to ask you to adopt Naruto. To teach him, like you taught his father

Jiraiya:what? Hiruzen. I.. but my spy network...

*Jiraiya tried to say, but Hiruzen raised his hand. As he slides a piece of paper to jiraiya. Jiraiya took it and read it, it was a sort of timetable for him. He looked at hiruzen with a raised eyebrow*

Hiruzen: I know that you have a spy network to manage, but we can set up a time-table for it. I can have someone I trust help you with little Naruto. So what do you say, Jiraiya? Will you accept him?

*Hiruzen asked hopefully. He honestly thought without a doubt that Jiraiya would accept the boy willingly to honor his apprentice's last wishes. But he forgot, that he should never think he knows anything in a Shinobi world. He felt his heart drop a little, when jiraiya sighed, and returned the baby to hiruzen*

Jiraiya: but I can't adopt him, even if I didn't have the spy network to take care of, I am not exactly father material, you know? I like to travel, do research, and write my books.

Hiruzen: and lie to your old teacher. All of those are pathetic excuses and you know it. What's the real reason behind it?

*Hiruzen asked, with a cold tone. Jiraiya winced a little, since hiruzen only used that tone, when he talked to danzo. Jiraiya sighed, knowing that he was now part of the list of people hiruzen hates*

Jiraiya: fine. The real reason is because the Great Toad Sage has given a new prophecy, Pa and Ma told me about it just last night. It says 'The powerful sapling born from two strong trees shall lead the world to peace, and it's enemies shall fear the look of the sapling's red eyes as the sapling's gazes upon them to protect what is precious to it.'

Hiruzen: and what does this prophecy has to do, with you not being able to adopt the boy?

*Hiruzen asked coldly, again not knowing which one of his students, disappoints him more. But jiraiya is quickly becoming the biggest disappointment. Jiraiya sighed, as he spoke calmly, there was no doubt in the time of his voice, as he spoke*

Jiraiya: because in my honest opinion i believe that the prophecy is talking about either Narumi or Mito. They fit the description perfectly with the kyubi chakra inside of them, it won't be long for their eyes to turn red, just like Kushina did. I'll have to put all my time into nurturing them...so being with Naruto will be, difficult, you know. I hope you understand, sensei. The future of the world takes priority over the life of a single child - you of all people must understand.

* Jiraiya said softly. As he tried to make hiruzen see reason. Hiruzen didn't even bother turning around to face him as he couldn't see his student's face, without feeling shame and disgust, that jiraiya, Tsunade, and orochimaru all let him down*

Hiruzen: leave. Leave and never return unless it has something to do with the spy network. And know that you are dead to me jiraiya. Make sure you tell the same to Tsunade. Both of you are dead to me

Jiraiya:.... I'm sorry you feel that way sensei

*Jiraiya said softly, as he turned into a blur and disappeared, in to the direction  of the fire capital. Hiruzen turned his gaze to his last hope, Minato's last student*

Hiruzen: What will you do then, Kakashi?

Kakashi: Lord Third, I'm sorry. But I want to return to the duties of the ANBU. I have to get over my grief of losing yet another person precious to me. And the boy looks too much like Minato for me to be able to take care of him, and I won't have the time to look after him with my missions. But I promise, I'll become his jonin sensei when he grows older.

*Kakashi said with a bow. So that he couldn't see the absolute disappointment in his hokage's eyes. He knows he owes Minato his life, he owes the man so much, but he couldn't bring himself to take care of the boy, who'll look so much like him in the future*

Hiruzen: Minato must be so proud of you right now. Leave. But know that Naruto will never be in your care as a teacher. Of that I'll make sure of it.

Kakashi: yes hokage. I'm...

*Kakashi tried to say, but he felt as if he could not breath, he finally looked up and saw the demon that was once feared when he was in his prime. The one called the reincarnation of sun-Wukon  in human form*

Hiruzen: I don't care. Just leave

* Hiruzen said as he calmed down, before he woke up baby Naruto. Kakashi gave a short nod and disappeared. Hiruzen sighed, rubbing his temple, trying to make the migraine go away. He looked down, at anko who took off her mask, putting it on the desk, and going to her knees before giving hiruzen a full body bow*

Hiruzen: speak.

Anko: lord hokage, I ask of you...I beg of you, your trust, for what I am about to say next. Let me adopt Naruto
