Chapter 1

Naruto lay battered and beaten as blood was slowly leaking from his wounds as it was all the kyuubi could do at this time was slowly Naruto's blood circulation to slow the bleeding to keep him alive.

Sasuke was near collapsing himself as the injuries he had gained in the fight were no joke. However he could tell the change in his eyes. Smiling when he felt Kakashi's chakra getting close Sasuke decided to leave and let his best friend live as he had gained the next level with his eyes and a way to save Naruto had presented itself. Yet even with Sasuke's cold attitude he still thought of Naruto as his brother. So like any brother who had to watched his sibling suffer so much, Sasuke decided to tell the blond what he had found out about him in an attempt to get Naruto to leave his he'll behind like he was. After all there was much more to why Sasuke was leaving than to gain power.

"Naruto, listen to me. Kakashi will be here shortly and he will be able to get you the help you need to live so I will need to leave or he will have to focus on me. However before I go I want to tell you there is much more to my leaving than just to get power to kill my brother. I won't tell you the other reasons as you will figure them out should you do as I instruct. Fifteen floorboards from the side of your bed is blood seal on the floor. I could barely see it but with my eyes it was clearly visible to me. Once you are out of the hospital open it as behind it lies something from your parents. I don't know what though, all I know is it is from them. I learned this when I was in my family library collecting my family jutsu before I left. In the library was a letter from your parents to mine asking them to tell you about that floor board. The letter also told me who your parents are, they are Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze. Whatever you do, trust no one until you see what is behind that board. I tell you this because I have seen you suffer and can't help but feel the village is hiding things from you as they are me. Hopefully we will both find better lives… My brother." Sasuke said this just before he left having waited for the last possible moment he could before he had to leave to prevent Kakashi from trailing him and instead get Naruto to safety.

A week later

Naruto was in his hospital bed looking more like a mummy than anything. Naruto had yet to speak a word sence his arrival back despite several of his friends best attempts. Everyone thought he was depressed but that wasn't the case. No Naruto had borderlined on murderous rage. He had only remembered everything Sasuke made him start to question those around him and there honesty with him. Yet he also shad to question Sasuke's words to him. This without any solid answers Naruto held his murderous rage in and waited to see I Sasuke's words were true. Either way though Naruto would be more pissed than he had in his entire life.

"Hey there gaki" a familiar voice said from just outside his window. Naruto remained unfazed and remained sitting there with his arms crossed and eyes shut

'Wow I know they said he was acting different but this is insane! What the hell happened' Jiraiya thought before he smiled thinking he had a way to brighten Naruto up

"Look gaki I am going to be going out of the village for a good while again and I want you to come with as my appre…"

"No, now leave I'm done with visitors" Naruto spoke with a flat voice that held no hint as to what he was feeling.

"W...What! You're kinding right, come on the great Jiraiya the toad sage is offering you a c…." Jiraiya was once again cut off as Naruto pushed the button to call a nurse that quickly came in.

"Please make him leave, I no longer wish to have visitors" Naruto asked in a polite tone but still have no indication as to how he felt.

The nurse simply nodded and walked over and pushed Jiraiya out of the window shutting it and locking it as she closed the blinds so Naruto wouldn't have to look at the man and the man couldn't see Naruto. She then left the room and went straight for the closest nurse's station to have them inform the rest of the staff that Naruto no longer wanted visitors. Not long after the staff had an argument with a loud boy with his dog who was just released yet now wasn't being allowed to see his friend.

Hokage tower

"I don't get this. Hen I was training him from the exams the boy was ecstatic to get the training. Now I am offering to take him on as my apprentice and he flat out rejects it before I even finish my sentence" Jiraiya said to the blond woman at the desk

"We can't force this, even I don't have the power to force a ninja to become another's apprentice. Truth be told he probably knows he'll spend more time having to deal with your perversion than get any real training" the woman spoke as she took a drink of her tea. "Besides you remember how you acted after orochimaru first left, it will take time before the old Naruto is back again"

The woman then had a dark look appear across her face.

"Do you think we should tell him about his parents" the woman sales with sad eyes, she hated hiding things from Naruto and it was worse when they were things she knew he longer to know.

"NO, he isn't ready to know yet he needs to be more mature first. Just have faith, once Naruto is ready to know it will make thing that much easier for when he finds out, you'll see Tsunade. This is for the best" Jiraiya said with a smile

"*Sigh* I'm not so sure of that anymore. I just can't help but feel like us keeping this from him will just hurt us in the long run. *Sigh* but I'll trust you on this, you knew is rather well and know him better than me. I just pray he will start acting like his father more or I fear he will respond like his mother would" Tsunade said a a chill ran down his spine at that thought and it nearly made him consed and tell Tsunade to tell him, Nearly that is. "Though I do agree he is acting increasingly different than normal so once he is out and back to his daily routine will give him one month to change his mind about going with you. If he hasn't changed his mind or attitude then you deal and I'll order him to see inoichi for some therapy" Tsunade said in an after thought.

One week later with Naruto after being released

Naruto had just been released from the hospital and was walking home. He normally would have gone and got Ramen but he had had enough of just sitting and questioning those he held close, whether or not what Sasuke had told him was true, and if so then what was behind that floorboard. Naruto wanted answers and wanted them now. His friends had been waiting for when he came out of the hospital and had started to greet him when he simply walks right past them not even acknowledging them do to his more dominant desire of getting the answers he wanted.

The action had sadden all of them and their sensei's as they all cared about Naruto. However this merely pissed kiba off to the point he was going to put Naruto back in the hospital out of pure frustration alone. First Naruto bans them from seeing him by saying he doesn't want visitors and now this! Hell no! Kiba was determined to beat Naruto back to normal at this point. Thankfully before kiba could move his sensei Kurenai stood him by resting a hand on his shoulder.

"Let him be kiba, something happened between him and Sasuke that is affecting him. All we can do I show him we are here from him by continuing our attempts to talk with him" Kurenai said in a soft caring voice that still held a stern edge to it.

"You should also accept this change may be permanent. Other shinobi have gone though far less than he has and broke never to return to how they once were, so it won't be to hard to think this could be the new Naruto" Kakashi said in a slightly depressed tone as he couldn't help but feel that this was his fault.

'Naruto, sensei… please forgive me, I have failed you both for too long and have been too spineless to stand against those that have made you suffer and trash your memory. P….please let me have one last chance to go things' Kakashi thought as he struggled to stay looking unemotional in front of the others so he was the first to leave. Yet he wasn't going where the others thought, well at least not for the reason they thought. However this triggered the others to start leaving as well

With Naruto

Naruto just got to his apartment when he saw Kakashi standing by his door with a rather large scroll. Letting out a small with Naruto walks up the stairs to his apartment and decided it would be best to "listen" to his sensei so he will leave sooner and let himself get the answers he wanted sooner.

"Yo Naruto, mind if I come in to talk for a bit" Kakashi asked only getting a shrug from the boy.

Naruto then opened the door and let Kakashi in after he walked in. Once Naruto and Kakashi were sitting Kakashi put up the strongest privacy barrier he had knowledge of.

"Naruto this is about your parents" Kakashi said as he noticed the boy change from that of pretending to listen to actually listening. "First I want you to know what I am about to tell you could get me killed but I don't care anymore as you deserve to know this. However before I tell you I want you to promise me you will not talk and just listen until I am done OK" Kakashi asked only getting a nod from the boy. "OK, well there is no easy way to say this but your mother was Kushina Uzumaki princess of whirlpool as they didn't have a hokage as the ruling family acted like the hokage. Father was Minato Namikaze the yellow flash of the leaf, fourth hokage and my sensei. Now I know I haven't been the best sensei, or honored my sensei's memory like i should have but if you'll let me I swear to you I will make it up to you Naruto. In fact in order to prove this to you I am willing to do this" Kakashi said as he emptied the contents of his scroll into Naruto's fire place and handed a lighter to Naruto. "Please, burn them. It's only fitting after I have let you suffer so much" Kakashi said as Naruto took the lighter.

Naruto walked over to his fire place and was actually shocked to see his fireplace was filled with Kakashi's ichi ichi paradise books. Looking over his shoulder to his sensei with a shocked face he watched as Kakashi simply nodded and motioned for Naruto to go ahead. Looking back the wait of what this meant hit Naruto like a mountain being dropped on him. Kakashi was truly sorry for his actions and wanted to make it up to him, Kakashi was actually making an effort to fix his mistakes starting with his self punishment of letting Naruto burn his most prized possession.

Smiling as a tear came from his eyes, Naruto light the books on fire. Then stood back with his sensei and watched them all burn. Once done Naruto spoke for the first time in a week.

"Kakashi-sensei, I need to tell you the full story about what happened during that mission" Naruto said as they both took a seat. Naruto then told his sensei everything that happened during the mission including what Sasuke had said to him.

"So what do you plan to do if that is all true" Kakashi asked

"To be honest I would probably leave the village. I have done everything I can get them to accept me but if my parents really did leave me something and given that it seems those I trusted only want to keep me in the dark when I have proven they didn't need to, then I see no reason to trust them and serve this village when they won't even trust me" Naruto said sadly

"Then I just have one question, mind if I come with" Kakashi said with an eye smile that shocked Naruto

"You, you would do that sensei" Naruto said in his shock

"Of course, I said I want to make things right with you, kinda hard to do if I'm not with you. Besides I have had enough of how this ungrateful village treats my little brother" Kakashi said with a chuckle and ended with a slightly hard edge to his voice.

"Then let's go see if we'll be leaving" Naruto said as he got up and lead Kakashi to his room where he bit his thumb and spread the blood across the board Sasuke had said to. There was a small click and then the board was pulled back to show several scrolls. The first of which was a letter from his mother.

Letter

'To my darling little boy

Naruto if you are reading this then I have died, first I want you to know I am Kushina Uzumaki princess of whirlpool and the crimson death of the leaf. More importantly though, I am your mother. I know that you're probably shocked but I don't have much time and your father is writing this for me so I am going to have to tell you a few more rather shocking thing. Naruto you are the jailor of the nine tailed fox, now that doesn't mean for one second that you are the fox. No you are MY baby boy not that damn demon no matter what anyone tells you otherwise. Also I never wanted you to have this burden as it should have been mine to bare, yet I am to weak to have the fox sealed back into me so sadly this burden will be forced to be pasted to you as only one with Uzumaki blood can even hold the damn demon without dieing soon after the sealing. However I got your father to agree to a few things before I would let him do this. First was we both write you a letter, second was that we specifically have Sarutobi put you in this apartment so you can find them without his knowledge of them, third was despite your father's blind faith in this village that we would leave all of our belongings and money to you as well with them being hid with these letters.

Now I only have a little more time left as your father needs to still write his and hid these as well so time for the last big reveal on my end. Naruto we of the Uzumaki hold four blood lines, one of which has never been awakened by even one clan member. These blood lines are lava release, boil release, chakra chains and the rinnegan. I have left the few scrolls I still have on our blood lines to you. The drawback is that none of our clan has ever awakened all of them at once. I my self was only able to unlock the chakra chains and have left notes on how to do so. If you want training in the other blood lines I suggest you go to the hidden mist as most of our clan ran there as refugees after our home was destroyed. Be forewarned that they might not help If they find you are tied to the leaf as they did nothing to help us when our home was destroyed despite them being our allies.

Now I am afraid this is the end of my letter. However I want you to know that no matter where you go or what you do I will always be proud of you and you will always be my beloved baby boy. Oh and should you go to the mist I do ask that you try to find a nice Uzumaki girl, just because they are from the same clan doesn't mean they are related to you. It just means they have the same bloodlines as you also you better have like six kids because Uzumaki always had big families and if I find out you don't I will climb out of my grave and beat you until you're in a body cast, I will not have my only son not having a big family- you know! Oh I hope you don't get my verbal tick

Love always

your mother Kushina Uzumaki

Letter end

Naruto was in tears. One of his most sought after question had been answered. His mother loved him, she didn't see him as a disgrace or a monster.

Kakashi was unsure what to do as he hadn't had much experience comforting people. So he simply rested a hand on Naruto's shoulder. This seemed to help much to his relief as Naruto settled down somewhat. A few minutes later Naruto was ready for his father's letter.

Letter 2

To my son

Hey there, I guess I should tell you I'm your father Minato Namikaze. I think your mother just about covered everything. So I'll tell you this, I never wanted this for you. I wanted you to have a happy life with a living family. However I am hokage and we don't always get what we want. No matter what you do or where you go I will always be proud of you so long as you are following what you feel is right. I have also left you notes on all of my seals, rasengan, and the flying thunder god jutsu. I know it's not much in comparison to what your mother is leaving you but contrary to popular belief the Namikaze were never a clan, we were only given the title once I became hokage. Now I don't have much time left so I will leave you with this piece of advice. The saying happy wife happy life is true in more than just marriage. Also be forwarded should you do as your mother asked and settle down with an Uzumaki girl then you NEED to know ALL Uzumaki women are the living embodiment of the saying hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn. So whatever you do avoid pissing me off and keep her as happy as possible. Your life can literally depend on it, trust me as hokage I know the real fight that happened between the first and madara. Madara actually only lost because the kyuubi made the mistake of calling his wife fat. Suffice to say she beat the living shit out of the kyuubi for that and then seal it into herself so she could do so for the resting her life. Then Madara stupidity kicked in and he called her a monster pour bastard didn't stand a chance. Also know when pissed Uzumaki women tend to hold a grudge like no other.

OK this part I am writing as hokage not your father. Should I not survive this fight with the kyuubi and the village disregards my last wish of you being seen as a hero then I the fourth hokage grant that you be allowed to leave the village with no repercussions of any kind. This also extends to anyone that leaves with you.

OK that was it now I have to go. So good bye and take care my son.

The Fourth hokage

Your father Minato Namikaze

Letter ended

Naruto smiled at this as did Kakashi.

Knowing all he needed to at this point Naruto pulled out his mission bag and put both letters into it along with all of the other scrolls as well. He then packed all his gear and the things you felt were voluble and the thing that were irreplaceable to him and slung the pack over his shoulder.

"Kakashi-sensei do you have anything you need to pack" Naruto asked

"Nope already did that it's all right here in my scrolls" Kakashi said with an eye smile

Naruto smiled as he made two clones and nodded to it with it nodding back showing that they understood what to do.

"Then come on sensei we're leaving this village and heading to the hidden mist" Naruto said as he walked out of the apartment followed by his sensei.

Leaving wasn't to difficult as all Kakashi had to say as the hokage was sending them on a secret mission that they couldn't know about. When that didn't suffice Kakashi pulled rank on the two chunin gate guards saying they dare question a Jonin and try stopping a superior officer's mission give to him and his student directly from the hokage.

With that Kakashi fell back on his anbu training and techniques to keep up with Naruto who was in an all out run using chakra to go as fast as possible.

Back with the clones

A knock was heard on Naruto's door. So "Naruto" opened it.

"Hey gaki I heard you might consider going with me after all" Jiraiya said in a jovial manner

"Ya I am, why don't you come in and sit down so we can talk about it" Naruto said with a smile.

Smiling Jiraiya did so

"Hey pervy sage I need to run and grab some groceries so we have something to eat as we talk. You mind staying here while I do that, don't worry I got some company to entertain you as an apology for how I was when you came to the hospital. COME ON OUT NARUKO" Naruto yelled as Jiraiya narrowed his eyes in suspicion but it was all forgotten once a busty blond walked out of Naruto's room in a string bikini that barely covered her nipples and private area.

"So, your the amazing Jiraiya hu" the pig tailed blond said as she leaned forward giving Jiraiya a nice view of her already extremely exposed bust as she spoke in a very seductive tone.

Thus Jiraiya went flying back via nose bleed with a puddle of blood encircling him as he passed out do to blood loss.

The girl then looked at the clone

"You know what to do the boss wanted him preoccupied I have that covered, just make sure not to screw up your end" the girl said to the clone as it ran off.

Done finally. OK please remember to review
