Naruto: Hatake Zoro

Konohagure

year 63

In this year where third ninja war is still going on and expecting to end in next 5 years. The village is on high alert as defence stationed ninjas are seen everywhere from mingled as civilian to hiding in the shadows and the non-ninja people remain grateful for the protection but still some worried about their daily economical-affecting days and some worried for their ninja children who went for a mission. 

Living a life in the ongoing war is so tough but they still have hope to end this misery. Aside from the worrying civilians, this war is huge opportunity for the major and minor clans of konoha as the war credits plays huge role in developing oneself and his clans future when the war ends. Especially it is crutial for the minor clan like hatake clan which was once flourished under hatake sakumo but now his son hatake kakashi maintains the name of the clan unknownly. 

In this hatake compound, a house particularly big one has a solumn aura then 'ammaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!' an ear piercing sound of a woman echos through the entire street but the guard standing outside doesn't flinch for this sound as this frequently coming from the house he is guarding regularly for nearly 1 hour. Inside the house in a particular room some konoha doctors and some nurses are frantically consoling the screaming woman. That woman have a particularly big stomach and laying in a weird position as legs are wide open. The head doctor instructing the woman in pain to push one more time as a small head visible from the woman's birth place. 

That laying white haired woman muster the last power she have and give a final push. Then 'Waaahh Waahh Waaahh' a new small creature in the doctor's hand made a piercing sound. But the people in this room are not annoyed by the sound rather they are happy, relieved and some concerned. Hatake seiya, the woman who just gave birth to a baby, asked the doctor for the baby. After a nurse cleaned the baby, she gave to the mother. 'Little brat, you cause so pain to your mother but still I am relieved to see your smile' said seiya to the small cute creature in her arms who is giggling at her. 

The cute creature in question is a baby with green hair, white plus baby pink skin color, black with brown curious eyes and the small cute hands which trying to grab the woman in front of her. Then the baby face changed from smiling to crying. Seiya then removed the clothes covering her breasts to feed the baby as doctor said baby must be hungry. After having the first food, the baby slowly drifted into sleep. 

But the hatake seiya didn't have leisure to enjoy her baby's beautiful sleep as she coughed mouthful of blood while in pain. 'Mrs. Seiya, we tried everything to stop the bloodloss but we can't make you live any longer. I am truly sorry' said the head Doctor with some guilt and concern. 'I know that, but I am happy my baby boy is healthy. It just my regret that I can't live to see him grow' white haired seiya replied to doctor with some happiness and meloncholy in her eyes. 

She looks at her son with motherly love, 'Hey small guy, I know you won't remember anything I say. But please hear me, I want you to be brave in any situation like your dad. I want you be kind to others, Make many friends, don't be a picky eater, eat healthy foods, when you get older you will find girls are attractive but don't go behind everyone, find a girl who understand you like I understood your dad.' in this loving speech many small drops of tears slowly reached baby's face. 

With a 'plop' he awake, he don't know what happened but he feels uncomfortable then 'waahh' he cries, 'shh shh shh' seiya while comforting him she continues 'I want you to grow healthy, be strong enough to protect yourself and those who treat you kindly and .. and.. cooghhgf.. I don't want to leave you alone" with some blood leaking through her mouth with determination 'Finally I want you to bear this name planned by me and your father.

"Hatake Zoro", like a brave warrior...' while saying she slowly lost her strength and her eyelids fully closed. Zoro who just calmed down suddenly started to crying.

Doctor who standing near her takes zoro from seiya. With some respect, sadness, guilt, regret the head doctor while consoling zoro looked at Hatake seiya. 

September 25, Konoha year 63. Hatake seiya from Hatake clan died after giving birth to a baby boy Hatake zoro.

A huge building which is situated before the proud mountain which embedded the faces of the generation of hokages, large '火' (fire) symbol is placed boldly on the head part of the building. Inside, a spacious room which has mirrors on one side, we can overlook the whole village through this mirror. This room is setting as a office room with a table full of documents and a chair is presented sitting the highest power of the konoha, the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, hailed as a "God of Shinobi". 

With some hustling and scribbling sound can hear in this room, 'swoosh' a anbu member suddenly appeared kneeling in front of hokage. Sarutobi Hiruzen who smoking the pipe and writing something, slowly raised his head to see the anbu. 'Hokage-sama' said the anbu. 'Please raise' hokage speaks while taking the pipe. Hokage 'Inu, what news did you bring?', 'Hokage-sama, elite Jonin Hatake seiya died by excessive bloodloss after giving birth to her son named 'Hatake Zoro' in Hatake clan compound' Inu said without much emotion but you can feel some sadness in his voice. 

Sigh.. Hokage blew some smoke which covered his face, slowly 'Hatake seiya is one of the best jonin. She inherited the Konoha's White fang swordmanship, while she didn't fully displayed the technique but still she is best at her field.' when hearing 'Konoha's White fang' anbu Inu suddenly tightened his fist but quickly losened it, hokage continues 'If she was available 10 months earlier, the war would be finished by now. Let's hope she rest in peace.' hokage then waves his hand, suddenly some wind sound can be hear in dark corners of the room the he continues 'Inu, please remove your mask', anbu Inu hesitate for a second then continue to remove the mask.

'Hatake Kakashi, my deapest condolences for the loss of your aunt' Hokage said whilst standing. anbu Inu or kakashi slowly lifted his eyelids with the tired eyes which is obviously become reddish because of earlier crying. 'Thank you Hokage-sama'. 

Sometimes later hokage 'kakashi, you said the baby boy name 'Hatake Zoro' right?', kakashi 'Yes Hokage-sama', hokage 'With the ongoing war I think settling the baby to a good orphanage would be good. Don't worry, I will put him into best orphanage.', Kakashi 'No, Hokage-sama, he is the only living relative of mine. I want him by my side. I will be his guardian until he become adult. Please, hokage-sama I need to do this. I promised Seiya-san.'

Hokage sighed then 'You need to reconsider this kakashi. You are in anbu now, you have missions it is not easy to raise a baby.', kakashi 'Hokage-sama, I know the difficulties. But I insist, he needs it'. Hokage then looked straight into kakashi, kakashi also looked hokage with the determination and responsibility in his eyes. Sigh.. 'Ok, Until Hatake zoro becomes adult, you, Hatake kakashi is his guardian.', 'Thank you hokage-sama' said Kakashi with some relieve in his voice. 'You may take leave to do the funeral, kakashi and you can go', Kakashi 'Thank you, Hokage-sama' with some gratitude in his voice anbu Inu disappeared.

'Sigh.. I am getting old. Hokage position need young minds. Minato would be best candidate with his recent contribution to the war. I hope everything goes well' said Hokage while placing his hat on the table and slowly overlooking the village.
