Narutos demon

Prolong

   The night was dark as the clouds of smoke continued to rise from the Village hidden in the leaves, the village of Konoha. The village had recently survived the attack of one of the most powerful entities known to the shinobi world, The Nine Tailed Fox.

Many brave shinobi had perished in the attack, but the most tragic lost had been the two that helped in sealing the Nine tails. A man and his wife laid, on the ground far into the forest, a large hole in there chest, the Kyuubi’s last attempt to remove any threats to its freedom. Not far away a small chilled was crying the cool night air creasing his uncovered form.

Slowly unseen by anyone, the shadows, seemed to move beginning to condense into a small poll, the inky darkness slowly rising upwards, taking shape. Before long the shadowy figure, loomed over the child looking down on it.

“So this is the child, such a bright soul you posse, I wonder what will you become in the end,” The shadow whispered slightly as it brought arm up, and with his other hand grabbed a small portion that seemed to dangle freely, before he began to pull, the shadows seeming to recede as a white cloth was removed from, the figures arm.

Carefully the figure picked up the child, then began to wrap it, in a make shift blanket of sorts. Silence returned to the clearing as the child, a young boy with golden hair, and whisker like marks, began to quite feeling the warmth of the cloth, the figure studying the child.

“Poor thing, such a tragic life, humans are truly pitiful creatures, to curse you for the deeds of others,” the shadow spoke as he began to see glimmers of the child’s future.

“No matter, I will watch you grow child, from now till you have no need for Sonmun,” the shadow stated as he placed the child back on the sealing stand, before he receded into the shadows, leaving no proof he ever existed.

It wasn’t one before several new people arrived, one of them being the previous Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi. The age man looked down at the sight before him, his face saddened by the sight.

“Minato, I’m sorry,” The professor said, turning his attention to a stirring bundle of cloth, slowly Hiruzen approached to examine the child of his successor.  

Smiling lightly, Hiruzen picked up the child, cradling him gently. “Hush now Naruto, Gandpa’s here, I promise that I will protect you,” Hiruzen silently whispered. Slowly he and the anbu with him began to return to what was left of the Village, none noticing the humen like shadow that followed behind.
