Summary
"Umino Iruka," she replied. "Ajari. Twenty-seven years old. His parents died in the Kyuubi attack while protecting the Temple's perimeter. He was taken from Konoha as a child to preserve his spiritual lineage. He was trained at the Main Temple, in the highest mountains. He is the youngest Ajari in decades... and he is the one who has raised Naruto all this time."

"They're already on their way. He and Naruto. The Council of Monks decided to send him to reinforce the village's seals and because the Main Temple is no longer a safe haven. The Akatsuki have caught his scent."
Tsunade stood up with a heaviness uncharacteristic of her. She circled the desk and leaned on the edge, crossing her arms over her chest. Her eyes allowed no reply.
"Your mission, Hatake, is to protect him. At all costs."
