Hokage's Office;
"Old Man, why did you call me here all of a sudden?"
A tall man with broad shoulders and long white hair stood in front of the Hokage's desk and asked, slamming his hands on the table.
Hiruzen looked up to his disciple and sighed.
"Since you had returned to the village, couldn't you visited me first?"
"I was going to."
Jiraiya raised his hands and waved.
Hiruzen rolled his eyes and continued.
"I need to talk about something important. Something happened to Naruto!"
Jiraiya showed a look of confusion before a realization struck him as he said.
"Are you talking about Minato's son? What happened?"
Hiruzen continued.
"During Forest of Death, Team Seven was attacked by a rogue ninja."
Before he could even continue, Jiraiya's Chakra flared as he said.
"What did Orochimaru do?"
Hiruzen shook his head and said.
"He only added Five Elements Seal on top of Naruto's Eight Trigram Seal. It created an imbalance in his Chakra control and did something strange."
Jiraiya calmed down and asked.
"What strange thing could happen? Didn't you unseal his seal?"
Hiruzen shook his head and replied.
"I did. But it turned out that Minato had left his and Kushina's Chakra inside the seal. At least, Naruto said he met people when he was knocked unconscious."
Hearing that, Jiraiya's eyes widened.
"Really? That's something Minato would do. But why would Five Elements Seal give such reaction?"
"Could it be Minato preprogrammed the seal to release their Chakra once Naruto is hit with Five Elements Seal?"
Hiruzen puffed out smoke from his pipe and continued.
"I believe the same. While friendly and kind, Minato is by no means a naive person."
"One of the easiest ways to block Jinchuriki of their Tailed Beast Chakra is by using the Five Elements Seal."
"Knowing this, it would make sense Minato would prepare a countermeasure, considering he sealed Nine-Tails inside his son."
"But the seal wasn't removed. Instead, it was I who removed it."
Hearing that, Jiraiya raised his eyebrows and said.
"Could it be that the kid lied? Maybe he learned about his parents a long time ago. And, you said he met people, he didn't specifically mention Minato, did he?"
Hiruzen sighed and stood up, walking towards the window.
"If it were just that, I would've asked him myself. But he showed several evidence that he saw Minato and Kushina inside the seal."
"First evidence would be his knowledge about the First and Fourth Hokage. Naruto is by no means a good academy student. He shouldn't even know their names."
"But he knew what kind of people they were and what kind of power they possessed."
"The second evidence would be Nine-Tails Chakra."
Hearing that, Jiraiya countered by saying.
"He could've faked his academy records. It isn't impossible. As for Nine Tails Chakra, isn't it something he can use?"
"Didn't you say you unsealed the Five Elements Seal?"
Hiruzen turned around and replied with a serious expression.
"Because the Chakra he used was Tailed Beast Chakra without malice, and he transferred that Chakra to the daughter of Hiashi."
"Can you imagine a twelve-year-old child doing that?"
Jiraiya paused and shook his head.
"Only Kushina should be able to do that. But even for that, she needed to defeat the Nine Tails, which she couldn't do on her own."
"Yes, she could restrict or suppress Nine Tails using her Adamantine Chains, but she didn't have the strength to defeat it."
Then, a look of realization appeared.
"Could it be that husband and wife defeated the Nine-Tails, and took its Chakra for Naruto?"
Hiruzen nodded his head and said.
"Considering the incident that happened when Minato was creating Rasengan, I believe they have the strength to do that."
"But what I am worried about is the knowledge they have passed on to Naruto."
"I don't think they will have more than enough Chakra to stay inside the seal for too long, especially after fighting the Nine-Tails."
"But I believe they have left a lot of information to Naruto, and some of this information can be detrimental if there is no one to guide him."
"But Naruto has already rejected Kakashi's idea of letting him train with Ebisu."
"Who?"
Jiraiya was genuinely confused.
"He is a Special Jonin, taking care of Konohamaru."
Jiraiya nodded and said.
"So, you want me to keep an eye on the kid so he won't make any mistakes. Is that what you really want?"
Jiraiya narrowed his eyes and asked.
Hiruzen sighed heavily and went back to his seat. He placed the pipe on the table and said.
"Jiraiya, I have not told him about his parents or the Nine Tails. He only learned about Nine-Tails through a traitor."
"Although things didn't go haywire because of that, I am still worried about him losing control after he learns about his parents' identity."
"More importantly, if he loses control, Danzo and the Elders would definitely try to take control of him."
"I can convince Elders, but not Danzo. He has far too much power under his thumb. But his desire to take Naruto under control will only backfire."
He looked at Jiraiya and said.
"You haven't seen the true strength of the Nine-Tails. Even if he is just a kid, if he has Nine-Tails Chakra, he can easily destroy any Sealing Jutsu."
"And, there is a possibility that he can also use Tailed Beast Bomb. So, no matter what, you must make sure Naruto doesn't lose control."
Hearing that, Jiraiya scoffed.
"It's your fault for giving him too much control."
Hiruzen chuckled and said.
"Even now, you can't let go of Orochimaru. So, why do you think I can do anything against him when he is ultimately thinking for the village?"
He released a deep breath and said.
"If Naruto loses control, the hatred of the people will rise once again. Then, it will be impossible for him to stay in the village."
"And, with his power, there will be no one to stop him from leaving. So, Jiraiya, you must do your best!"
