sympathy over the years.

The clan head of the Uchiha's bit down his snappy comment and let the Kagen continue. "Originally I wanted to distribute the demon's chakra into ying and yang, so that the Jinchuuriki can later handle his chakra better and it doesn't harm him.", He explained as simply as possible.

With a low sigh, he continued. "However, Sandaime-sama carelessly sealed both parts in the baby and the consequences for the future are unclear. Chances are that the jinchuuriki will never be able to control power or lose control faster than it should. Of course, none of them could either all appear and everything continues to go according to plan. ", Minato finished the explanation.

Uchiha Fugaku jumped up like a fury and, in his opinion, demanded the only right thing. "We should kill Kyuubi as long as he can no longer defend himself." The man earned a partly approving nod, partly a shocked look.

But no one surpassed the murderous look of the Hokagen. "Nobody, absolutely nobody will kill this child. Did we get along? He's a hero and not a monster." The absolute cold in his even made Fugaku shiver for a short time.

A throat clearing draws attention to you and turned Minato's interest on me. "Then I would suggest that I take care of the child, Hokage-sama. Under my guidance, the Jinchuuriki would learn to control the chakra.", replied Danzou, half a mummy, looking forward to his new tool.

A dissolved Fugaku hit the table with his fists. "Are you insane? Protecting the demon is crazy enough, but giving it back its abilities is like suicide."

A grunt from one of the back corners caught the undivided attention. "Fugaku, the boy is not Kyuubi, but his prison and his guard. If Hokage-sama says that the boy is not a danger for the time being, then I believe him.", Shikaku interfered in the discussion.

However, it just made the Uchiha shake his head uncomprehendingly. "Don't you see the danger? What is the difference between prison and Kyuubi himself? Yesterday he killed hundreds of our Shinobis within a few hours. There is almost no family that has no losses to complain about!" Room and waited for approval.

However, the Nara just shook his head uncomprehendingly and pulled out a kunai and a scroll. "Do you see the kunai, Fugaku? Let's say it represents the kyuubi and this scroll represents the jinchuuriki." He paused and unfolded the scroll and painted a fuuin with his blood on it.

With a bit of chakra and a quick finger gesture, the kunai disappeared into the scroll. The scene was watched with interest by all members of the council, as well as the smile on their lips that Nara did not miss.

The candlelight on the walls of the vault flickered wildly. "Kill me with the kunai, Uchiha," Shikaku said as he tossed him the rolled up roll.

Fugaku held the scroll tightly in his hands and stared at it. "That's ridiculous," he said, causing Shikaku to laugh. "What's the problem? I don't think Uchiha shy away from any challenge, or are you scared?"

The pride of a Uchiha was next to his sharingan his greatest asset, which had to be defended. So the head of the clan led his chakra into the role, grabbed the unsealed kunai and ran towards the Nara.

The mouths of those present were open. Combat and guns were usually prohibited at a meeting. Before the man, injured in pride, reached his destination, he could no longer move. "I said you should kill me with the kunai and not that you should unseal it. As you can see, there is a difference between Kyuubi and the boy."

With a shame and a snort, Fugaku sat back in his seat after the Nara broke the shadow art. "Hokage-sama !? Is it true that this applied Fuuin cannot be unsealed again?", Hyuuga Hiashi asked skeptically.

Minato was still in his seat and had to smile at the show. "As a seal master, I do not know of any way how one could loosen the seal of Shinigami. It is divine and therefore impossible."Shikaku nodded in understanding. "As long as the boy is treated like a person, nobody has anything to fear. If the Jinchuuriki runs amok, it is only because people treat him like dirt and not as people.", He ended his explanation.

Cold blue eyes met the Danzou's and the Uchiha's. "He's neither killed nor trained to be a mindless soldier. As soon as the boy is old enough, he can decide for himself what he thinks is right." It sounded more like an order than a normal statement from the Hokagen.

The Nara had meanwhile taken a bored position again and made the Kunai and its role disappear. “By the way, Hokage-sama. What's the boy's name and who are his parents?” His head was still supported with one hand.

The slight change of subject caused the Kagen's mind to sink slightly again. “That brings us to a point where I want to make a request to the clans.” Minato sighed, God knows that decision wasn't easy for him. "The boy's name is Naruto Uzumaki. His mother fell into a coma immediately after birth and there is little hope of recovery. The boy's father is also unknown. He probably died during the attack or had the mother during the." Abandoned pregnancy. "His voice was saturated with sadness. "Is a clan ready to adopt Naruto?"

There was a frightening silence in the hall and no one really dared to give his answer.

"The Uchiha clan agrees to take the boy in.", Fugaku said, showing neither a smile nor any other form of emotion.

Minato's eyes narrowed. "So that the boy might have starved to death after 2 weeks, huh ?! Forget it. Are there other volunteers?", Minato asked hopefully.

Only the faint crackling of isolated torches could be heard. Time passed too slowly and Minato was waiting excitedly for the answers of the other clan leaders.

A single hand rose in the air. “The Hyuuga clan must refuse.” Despite the angry expression on the Hokagen's face, Hiashi looked self-confident.

An uneasy feeling slowly captured the heart of the last Namikaze when more hands went to the ceiling and communicated their decisions.

"The Inuzuka clan refuses."

"So do the Aburame clan."

"The Akimichi clan refuses."

"The Yamanaka clan refuses."

Minato stared hopefully at the last seat of a chief. Shikaku had closed his eyes and still didn't seem to have made a decision.

His black eyes slowly opened when he began to speak. "I'm sorry, Hokage-sama. But there is no place for Naruto in our clan. I'm sorry."

His last bearer of hope disappointed him and a stabbing pain spread in his chest. It seemed like treason to Minato ...Minato nodded slowly and sighed bitterly. "Then I have no choice but to do two things," he concluded. "First of all, I will enact a law that forbids talking about the events of the Kyuubi attack and the sealing in Naruto. At least the new generation should not avoid Naruto for what it is not. Whoever violates it will do the rest spent his life in prison or exicuted. "His serious gaze wandered over all the heads.

"With all due respect, Yondaime-sama," said Homura, as part of the council of elders. "But doesn't this law go too far? All because of a child?"

Minato let out a fake laugh. "Naruto just a kid? Don't be a silly old man. He may not be the Kyuubi himself, but he may be his guardian. Without the protection of a strong house, Naruto won't survive the next few weeks."

The laugh turned into a short snort. "I will definitely not allow Naruto to be harmed in any way. He is a hero of this village but most of the people will only see him as a chance to get revenge on Kyuubi," he said sharply. "If necessary I will use all my power to protect this child and one thing is clear." His gaze wandered over the seats again and looked at everyone intently, almost repulsively. "The law applies to you as it does to everyone else!"

Koharu sighed loudly. "Maybe it really is for the best. And what are you planning about the boy?" She asked curiously.

The blond sat back in his seat and considered his decision. Was it really the right thing? "Since no one is able to take care of Naruto, I will have to send him to an orphanage until he is old enough for the academy, an apartment of his own, and an income."

Shikaku cleared his throat. "If you care so much about the little one's well-being. Why don't you just adopt Naruto?"

Minato hesitantly shook his head. "That won't work. Unfortunately, I don't have time to take care of Naruto. That being said, Naruto would be a good target for my enemies outside Konoha. Iwa would certainly do anything just to harm me. Even in Konoha would be the boy is not safe from attacks. "

There was only one wish left in young Kagen's mind.[I]Get Well Quickly Kushina. Fight for Naruto and come back to us.
