NARUTO INHERITOR OF THUNDER
disclaimer: i don't own naruto
Chapter 1: Revelation
Ankle deep in slimy liquid, it was pitch dark. He knew exactly where he was. Then he recalled the events of the day previous and he felt his eyes swell with tears.
"Hey kid stop whimpering and listen up, I think it's time I told you something important!" growled the echoing voice of the Kyuubi.
"Leave me alone" the young blond responded. He was still a little depressed after he lost to Sasuke in the sparring match at school and everyone had laughed at him.
The fox noticing his depression responded, "So you're still down after you lost to that Uchiha kid eh? ... Well…there's always a next time right?" he chuckled trying to lighten the blue eyed youngster's mood. Normally he wouldn't have cared but over the years the two had grown a bond that he had never experienced before and he liked it, it made him feel loved, not that he would mention it, they were so close it was a little disheartening to watch him so down in the dumps. "Listen, I know it's sad that that dammed Uchiha beat you but there's something I have to tell you…it's about your parents." The Nine Tails grinned, if there was one way to make the kid listen it was insulting the Uchiha and mentioning the parents never knew. And sure enough the Naruto looked up at him and began to wipe the tears from his face. The blonde wasn't crying from the fact that he had lost the sparring match it was from what happened afterwards, after he had lost no one had tried to comfort him, everyone had mocked him and no one had stood up for him, and then he came home to an empty damned apartment. That's what made him so feel so dejected, the realization that he had no friends and no family, no one who stuck up for him and no one who cared about him.
However, if the giant fox was going to tell him something about his parents he was going to listen. Naruto already knew that his parents had died saving the village from the Kyuubi attack and that he was the jinchuriki of the Nine Tailed Fox, the most powerful of the Tailed Beasts. He also knew he wasn't going to tell anyone that he has an evil fox within him, it would just make him more different something he wasn't going to let happen.
His face lit up as he tried desperately to encourage the giant beast into spilling the information he so desperately desired.
The fox chuckled, "Alright then, now that you're listening I wanted to tell you," he paused for effect, "that your father...was…blonde!" At that Naruto's jaw dropped.
"IS THAT IT? THAT'S ALL YOU WANTED TO TELL ME!" anger poured out of the blue eyed blonde, "YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU'RE A BITCH!" at that the Nine Tails growled, he hated it when the the kid sweared at him. But he knew he knew it was coming for that one so he shrugged it off and fell into a fit of laughter.
"Alright, alright, calm down. I was only teasing."
"Not funny!" Naruto grunted.
"Hey, you want me to tell you or not?"
"Tell me…please," pleaded Naruto.
"OK, what I am going to tell you can't tell anyone else." The blonde gave a suspicious nod, so he carried on, "Your mother's name was Kushina Uzumaki, and your father's name was Minato Namikaze." The fox sighed, the look on Naruto's face told it all, he had no idea who his parents were. FACEPALM. "Naruto Uzumaki do you know who your father was?" the orange fox questioned.
"I'll know when you tell Me." the perplexed child argued.
"You need to read a book kid. Minato Namikaze A.K.A your father was The Yellow Flash of The Leaf." The young boy knew that name from somewhere, but he couldn't put a finger on it. FACEPALM. "Seriously Naruto if you want to become Hokage one day, you need to read a book." The fox sighed, he decided to drop the bomb, "Your father was the 4th hokage."
"Are you serious?" Naruto exclaimed. His blue eyes opened to their fullest, his jaw dropped to his knees, for the first time in his short life Naruto Uzumaki was speechless. But then he realized something, "Wait, if my dad was the Fourth Hokage then how comes everyone hates me?"
"Actually they don't necessarily hate you, they hate me. And it doesn't help that no one knows who your parents were." He saw the expression on the kids face and that look told him all he needed, "I'm sorry Naruto, if it helps I didn't mean to rampage on your village." It didn't help.
"HOW THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO HELP! YOU GIANT ORANGE DICK!...YOU RUINED MY LIFE!" The blonde screamed. He was pissed! And after another 10 minutes of his swearword ladenned rant he finally stopped. All the while The Fox stayed silent knowing he couldn't say anything to stop him. After a few minutes of silence, apart from the sound of Naruto's heavy breathing, the blonde spoke up this time in a more controlled manner, "Why did my dad seal you inside me, his own son?"
At this the fox couldn't but feel sympathy for his jailer. He thought about what to say and explained:
"For one, he had to seal it into someone he could trust, and who better that his own son. Secondly, I believe he entrusted you with me so one day you could learn to control my power." Seeing that Naruto didn't find this a valid excuse for ruining his life he continued, "Naruto he wanted the village to regard as a hero after all it's me they hate not you. You have to understand he…" It sickened the Fox to say this, "L-loved you." The Nine Tails couldn't believe he was going this far for this kid. Guess he was going soft.
At those word Naruto was blown away. No one had ever loved him, cared for him or even acknowledged him all his life so finding out his about his parents and that his father trusted him with the most powerful force in existence was a total surprise. Not to mention, he was the Yodaime Hokage's son. Naruto smiled. Not the kind of smile he gets after watching a prank unfold, no, this was a true peaceful smile.
Seeing the smile on Naruto's young whiskered face made The Fox feel glad that he finally revealed the truth, but there was more, "Naruto I'm sorry for disrupting you in your happiness but there's one more thing I have to tell you."
"Good or bad?" Inquired the blond.
Now there was a smug grin on the The Fox's enormous face, "It's definately good for you Naruto, but undeniably bad for your enemies."
