Hiruzen Sarutobi walked through the chaos. Men and women dead, severed limbs peaking out from under rubble. Even children lay lifeless as their siblings and parents wept. Screams of agony could be heard as their skin melted from the flames. Homes destroyed the families gone with them. Yet they had hope that they could recover and rebuild. But it was crushed by the death of Minato Namikaze the fourth Hokage. Crushed like the nine failed fox did to their people. As Hiruzen walked people joined behind him their heads bowed in respect.

Hokage Tower

Hiruzen held Naruto close the red chakra surrounding him thrashed wildly. It was hot to the touch and would burn the average person. But he held him closer his eyes closed. Finally the red chakra dissipated and Naruto calmed.

"We can't handle him lord Hokage, that chakra is to powerful it knocks even a jounin off their feet at its worst" The tired wet nurse spoke

"Have his equipment moved to my mansion in the Sarutobi compound" Hiruzen rocked young Naruto while watching outside his window.

"At once Lord Hokage" with that the wet nurse left.

Hiruzen sat down in hus chair and looked towards the Hokage mountain. The face of his two sensei the first and second Hokage. Hashirama and Tobirama Senju some of the most powerful people in history. Then he looked at his own face only for a moment. But his eyes finally landed on Minato's carving. It was very well done but still didn't capture him perfectly. But Naruto held strong resemblance to him. Which could change in the future as he developed. But for now he saw Minato Namikaze. But as he looked deeper he saw another familiar face. That of Madara Uchiha, Hiruzen closed his eyes and opened them shaking his head.

"An old man's tired eyes" Hiruzen spoke out loud but the image remained.

Bar in the Land of Wind

Jiraiya sat on a stool a empty glass in his right hand a scroll in his left. He sat down the glass and opened the scroll.

"Jiraiya I need you to return I fear the seal has already weakened move with haste" Jiraiya mumbled under his breath.

He stood up from his stool throwing ten thousand yen ($74.25) on the counter. He walked out pushing open the doors. He began walking through town clutching the scroll in his hand. Suddenly he threw the letter in the air and released a flood of flames from his mouth. Destroying the letter and it's contents permanently. People looked at him shocked at the sudden outburst. Jiraiya just kept walking and finally began a sprint.
