SOLDIER
All the children in the Konoha Orphanage was quiet, as was the warden of the orphanage as a man who wore a brilliant crisp, clean, white business suit, with slick blonde hair and dark silver eyes continued to look at each child. This strange man came here, hoping to find a child to adopt, however what the warden did not know was that Rufus Shinra was in fact searching for a specific child, one that was related to the Shinra Family through old blood relations of the Uzumaki Family.
The warden watched, before with ever-increasing horror, the man stopped to gaze upon the demon child. Rufus then smiled. "Is your name Naruto?"
"Y-yes," he replied meekly, wondering why this man was not being mean to him like the warden is every day.
"Ah... come with me Naruto... it's been a long search, but I finally found you."
"Nani?"
Rufus smiled, as the warden stared in shock. Several of the older children were looking at Naruto, wondering why this rich-looking man would want with the idiot like Naruto.
"Naruto Uzumaki... I had recently found a month ago that I had long distant family related to mine through the bloodline. He's my third distant cousin, related through his mother who came from my great grandparent's family line." Rufus smiled that evil smile of his to the warden, "I fear there would be no problem, would there?"
He took out his checkbook, and written out a nice sum of money, before handing the now torn-off check to the warden, who nearly fainted at seeing all those zeros. And before the warden could find his voice, Rufus Shinra had already left the building with Naruto in tow, followed by his strangely-armored guards and those strange metal contraptions.
"Let us hurry on out of here. This place reminds me so much of Wutai," Rufus told the guards as he walks briskly toward the front gates of the village, ignoring the stares and whispers of the people as he herded Naruto beside him, holding his hand.
As they soon reached the gates, Rufus felt something in the air, then hear the sound of metal flying. He calmly brought up a barrier using one of his Materia stones. The soldiers that followed retaliated by firing their weapons, killing one of the ANBU as the hail of bullets pelted at them. A swirl of smoke, and Rufus felt a heavy feeling of force in the air, and turned around. It was an old man, and judging by the robe she wore and the hat on his head, the kanji read Fire Shadow.
"What are you doing with Naruto?" asked the Hokage.
"Oji-san?" Naruto questioned aloud, causing Rufus to look at Naruto briefly before staring at the old man with graying hair.
"You know my cousin then, old man?"
"Cousin?"
"Why yes, his deceased mother IS related to my family from the other side of the world. I had merely come to this desolate ninja village to adopt him as my son, and take him back home. I also paid the warden of the orphanage quite a sum of money just to shut him up."
There was a sudden roar, and the entire village heard it. Many began to scream in fright as they saw what looked like an airship. Not many people have seen airships before, but the few ninjas who fought in the last war (and have dealt with the ninjas from the once proud Sky Country) knew of them. But still, this was an airship that the Shinobi, or the Hokage, had ever seen before. It looked like something that could only come from a highly fabricated dream or extremely complex Genjutsu.
Rufus by now had grabbed hold of Naruto, and the rope ladder thrown down, and he was hoisted up. The guards grabbed similar foot holds and the dropped ropes also lifted high into the air at an alarmingly fast rate, before they disappeared onto the balcony of the open walkway of the Highwind. The airship then made a terrible boom-like sound as the engines on the sides rocket to life, and along with the propellers and engines, flew away fast. Not even Maito Gai with seven of the eight gates released would catch up.
An unknown person had gotten into the village with armed people, weapons he had never seen before, and taken away Minato's son from the village on an adoption. What worried him was that the council would not like it. While those who supported him would no doubt be disturbed that Naruto, who was the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, was swiftly taken away, but the other half would find some way of having Naruto hunted down like an animal.
