Hokage's Office
"Come in." said Hiruzen
Hiruzen looked up and saw Kakashi come in with furrowed brows.
"How can I help you Kakashi?"
"Lord hokage I have a question."
"What is it?"
"It's better to talk in private."
"I see. Anbu leave the room."
"Hai Hokage-sama!" said the Anbu.
"So what is it that you want to know?"
"It's about Naruto."
Hiruzen narrowed his eyes."What about Naruto?"
"Well during one of our training sessions when he didn't have his shirt on I saw some red lines on his body and since you were the person who brought him back when he was an infant, I thought you might know something about this."
Hiruzen narrowed his eyes further. "Red lines?"
"Yes, it was weird. Because they were not the sealing patterns for the fox but something different."
"Anything strange about it?"
"Yes. For some reason they had a powerful aura that I do not know how to describe."
"I see. Thank you for letting me know Kakashi I'll look in to it."
"Hai."
"Anything else?"
"No that's all."
The third Hokage nodded as Kakashi left.
Hmmm red lines... what could it possibly be? I need to tell Jiraiya to look into it. thought Hiruzen.
"These past few weeks have been relatively peaceful. Why do I feel like it's the calm before the storm. I'm probably imagining it." Hiruzen mumbled.
Oh how wrong he was....
Near the border of fire country
A few miles away from the fire country a figure was walking towards Konoha with a relaxed pace along with a white wolf.
"I can't wait to see you again my king." The figure giggled.
