Traveling To The World Of Anime With The Dark Souls System

(Flashback - 9 Years Ago, October 10, 980)

After the fourth Hokage and Kushina Uzumaki sacrificed themselves to seal the Kyuubi again, they left a single baby to Hiruzen and informed him to protect her at any cost.

Hiruzen agreed and took the newborn to his house, where she would be cared for, for a few days before deciding where she would go.

Inside the council meeting room, Hiruzen held the baby, Naruto, as he stood in front of the village council. The table was a long rectangular table. On each side of it was 7 seats each, with the right being where the clan heads and the village elders are and on the left is the civilian council.

Looking sternly at the council, Hirizen announced, "From now on, since our beloved Yondaime died protecting our village, I shall retake the mantle of being the Hokage!"

The council nodded in agreement because it was within the laws that if the current Hokage died and the previous is still alive, he/she will retake the mantle of being the Hokage. But, if all the previous Hokages are dead, the council would choose a candidate that would take the mantle of being the Hokage.

One of the clan heads, Shikaku Nara, then spoke, "If I may be bold, Hokage-sama, whose child is that in your arms?"

Hiruzen looks at Shikaku before looking again at the council directly and sternly announced, "This is Uzumaki Naruto, he bears the burden of being the Kyuubi's prison! You all shall treat him as a hero who saved our village from the mighty Kyuubi!"

Almost all of them were shocked, but some clan heads understood what's going on. From the sun-kissed blond hair and an almost similar face to their friend Kushina, that child has got to be Minato's daughter.

Then suddenly, a shout came from the civilian council.

"What do you mean, Hokage-sama?! If that thing has the Kyuubi inside it, we should kill it!" It was Tsubaki, the civilian councilor.

The clan heads turned their heads towards her, they were disgusted that someone would really tell the Hokage to kill a newborn child.

Hiruzen never expected that someone would tell him that and asked, "What do you mean by that, Tsubaki-dono?"

"That's exactly what I mean! Kill t-that thing!" she looked at the child as if she was disgusted by it.

Then, everyone on the civilian council's side stood up and started to follow her. They yelled, argued, but they all had something in common, they want Naruto dead.

Having enough of their useless yelling, Hiruzen slams his left hand at the table *bang!* and all of them quieted down before he said to them with rage, "If you worthless people even try to lay a single finger on Naruto's hair, I shall slaughter you myself!"

The heavy pressure of his chakra kept all the people in the room quiet. You can even hear a needle drop somewhere.

Tsubaki's sweated as she experiences the full extent of the third Hokage's power.

Then Hiruzen declared, "From now on! You can never say a single word about Naruto's true identity, you say something, I will kill you myself. Not even a child will be spared! But, if you indeed try to do something to Naruto, all seven generations of your family will be slaughtered like lambs! Do you understand?"

Every people in the room gulped in deep nervousness. Even the clan heads can feel the seriousness of the situation, the Hokage is really serious about this rule. Once a person quacks, they're dead. No, not just them, their entire family too will be dead.

Danzo, on the other hand, is secretly smirking, 'This is my best friend! The previous Hiruzen is returning! A true God Of Shinobi!"

From then on, countless civilian families were slaughtered to the bone, not even a child was spared but for some reason, none of them stopped. They continued on and on, they would even bribe the matron of the orphanage where Naruto is staying to treat him badly. This, of course, got to Hiruzen. The next day, the matron disappeared mysteriously. Not even her shadow can be seen, as if she just vanished like a bubble when it's popped.

But, as time goes on, Hiruzen got tired. And his enemies took this to their advantage, bribing the merchants not to sell anything to Naruto, and if they did sell him anything, it would be overpriced to the point that a normal family couldn't even afford something like his prices. The academy was rigged for him not to pass, shinobis were paid not to tell anything to Hiruzen, in short, Hiruzen got old. Old enough that his enemies can even take it to their advantage.

(Flashback End)

After finishing his explanation, Hiruzen looks at Hikaru's reaction to see if he would be scared.

Hikaru seems to be thinking and he asked calmly, "Why are you telling me this, Hokage-dono? I'm just a child, nothing more, nothing less."

Hiruzen smiled because he was not scared of his actions, so he said the reason, "The reason is that I know I can trust you, from my experience that is."

Hikaru looks surprised because he just arrived in the village a few days ago, yet, this old man already trusts him.

Hiruzen spoke again, "Not only that, do you know why I believed your story from our previous conversation?"

Hikaru suddenly realized that this old man could have figured it out that he is not really from lordran and kick him out of the village, so why did he believe him?

"Why did you believe me? If I may ask?"

"That is because of the darksign in your left hand is a very noticeable evidence of your words, " Hiruzen said.
