PrologueThe Third Hokage could only describe the aftermath of the Kyuubi attack...
'It's a distaster'
Which in his mind was an understatement
Almost half of the village was destroyed, even the casualties were half of the village's population. The shinobi armed forces were severely crippled as many shinobi lives were lost, most were Elite Jounin, Chunin, and a few Genin. But the most devastating blow was the death of his successor.
"Minato, Kushina, i'm sorry for not saving you to the last minute" He whispered with great sorrow and shed a tear on his eye.
The entire Uzumaki-Namikaze Clan was anihilated, the deaths of the Yondaime, and his wife and child were demoralizing to Konoha as the news spread out. The village was in mourning for the fallen family which should've bought the village into greatness, the news spread out to the entire elemental nations that Minato Namikaze was dead.
The Nations gave their condolences, except for Iwa who were elated that their most hated enemy was dead and his family along with him.
"Disrepectful fools" Hiruzen spat, the Iwa village had never got over the last war.
The Third had taken the mantle of Hokage once again, but now he's in his twilight years and wanted to find a successor fast
Kakashi Hatake, Tsunade Senju, and Jiraiya were the three potential candidates. Kakashi, which he has the most credibility since he was the last survivor of Minato's genin team, Tsunade was second due to her being the grandchild of the First Two Hokages, and Jiraiya, who is not Hokage material due to his 'activities' and his Spy Network but has some qualities of a Hokage.
The Sandaime sighed, regretting not saving the expected child of Minato, he shed a tear.
"I'm sorry Naruto"
But what he dosen't know is that Naruto is no longer in this world, he just disappeared.
In Dimensional Rift
The God of Shinobi, Hagoromo Ookotsuki was surprised to see a baby.
But he knew exactly who this baby is, This was Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, Ashura's reincarnation.
He had seen this boy's story many times in different timelines. All were different but the results were the same.
A Demon Container, a Village Jester, an orphan that wants to be loved, a loving father, and a Great leader and friend.
Of course the God of Shinobi wanted to return him to his dimension. But the winds of fate told him otherwise
"Is it wise to let him in this other world?" Hagoromo questioned, "This place had a more bloody history than that of the Elemental Nations. The things here will change him"
"Need not fret, Hagoromo" The voice said "This world can mold Naruto to a better man than his counterparts. Besides, it's boring to see his story over and over again"
The God sighed, and let Naruto go to the other world, hoping that the world might not corrupt him
Earth
Somewhere in the outskirts of Martinsburg, West Virginia USA
October 11, 1946
Recently retired and former Captain of the USMC, Leonard Jackson was driving home with his barren wife, Kelly.
They had just got from the Hospital, when the doctors told that his wife can no longer bear children. This devastated the two as they could no longer have a child or two
His wife was silent, but the traces of tears were still on her face, showing that she's in grief.
"Don't worry Kells, i'm here don't worry" Leonard bought his hand and wrapped around his wife's shoulder. Kelly suddenly went to tears
"It's not fair Leo! All I wanted-no, we wanted a child and start a family, it's just why?!" She wept on Leo's shoulder.
"I don't know why Kells believe me, but the best thing we could do is pray to God for a miracle and he could send us a chi-"
But before he could finish that sentence, a ball of light appeared on the night sky and moved past the moving car.
"Shit!! Kells hold on!!!" Leo swerved his vehicle, his wife clnged on to her seatbelt.
The object then crashed into the side of the road, just a few feet in front of them. The car stopped and the couple was in shock.
"Kells? You okay??" Leo looked at his wife for any injury
"It-It's okay Leo, but what was that we saw back there?" Kelly then looked at the front and saw the crash site
But then they heard a cry from the crash, the two went over there cautiously and saw a baby wrapped up in blood soaked linen.
"What!! How in the-!" Before Leonard can finish, Kelly went into the crater and wrapped the baby in her arms.
"There there baby, it's okay" Kelly hushed the baby, "No one's going to hurt you"
"Kells, is the baby okay?" Leonard questioned, "But more importantly, where did he or she came from??"
"I don't know Leo, but this baby seemed all alone and we don't know it's parents" But then an idea hatched into her mind, Leonard then saw the look on her face
"Kelly, you can't be-"
"I'm serious Leo, we're keeping him!" She said with exictement and joy
Leonard sighed but smiled 'of course she would say that, but it's nice to see her smile again' he thought
"Okay Honey, but before we could get to names of the baby, can we get outta here? In a few minutes, Local Police will be here cause no one couldn't have seen that light"
"Okay" Kelly repiled, they immediately went into the Pick-up and drove off.
"Who's a cute lil boy" Kelly cooed to the baby, Leonard smiled at his wife happy that she finally have a child to raise as her own
'It's like we are Martha and John Kent' Leonard thought, but then he had another concern in his mind
The child was no doubt alien, since the ball of light came from above. It's possible, that the baby might have the same predicament to Superman
'This day is one of the most surreal days of my life' But Leonard, knew he couldn't report to the Government about the baby, he already loved the little yellow haired ball when he made Kelly smile
"Look at him Leo! He had one of the cutest marks on his face!!" She pointed at the baby's fox whisker marks and began rubbing them, the baby purred and smiled which made Kelly squeal in happiness
"Sooo, what are you going to call him?" Leonard asked his wife
She thought of it for a minute and smiled
"Nathan, Nathan Jackson"
