Konohagakure no Sato, 13 years after the Kyūbi attack,
Konoha, A village which is known for its conchy ideals, is strongest village in the Elemental Nations and victor in the past three great ninja wars. Konoha is currently decorated with lights from top to the bottom. People are celebrating Kyūbi festival. This annual event which is very popular among the villagers as this is the day of their victory over Kyūbi no Yoko.
13 years have passed since that horrible night where the powerful Bijū known as the Kyūbi no Yoko attacked the village of Konoha, destroying it almost completely and killing a big part of its population. It was only thanks to the actions of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, that the beast was defeated. The Fourth knew that killing a Bijū was almost impossible, so he did the only other thing that could defeat it. He sealed it in the body of a newborn child.
The Fourth, being the person he is, could not bring himself to ask any other family to sacrifice their children, so with a heavy heart he sealed half of the Bijū (Tailed Beast) in his youngest new born daughter, the Ying part of its chakra was sealed into his only daughter, Uzumaki Namikaze Mio, meanwhile the Yang part of the chakra was resealed in his wife, Uzumaki-Namikaze Kushina.
For such a marvelous feat the Fourth had to use the powerful Shiki Fūjin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal), summoning the Shinigami himself and asking him to split the Kyūbi in exchange for his own soul. Minato was more than ready to give his own life to protect the village he loves, knowing that his wife, Uzumaki Kushina, would have been able to take care of the children even without him, so guess his surprise when the Shinigami just brushed him off, telling him that for this job, a payment of the soul was not needed. The user of the Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) was more than happy to be able to live with his family, not knowing of the Shinigami's true intentions. Unknown to everyone a ghostly pale arm of "Shinigami touches his eldest son for the briefest moment" just before Shinigami left for his realm.
That same day the Fourth made the announcement that the village was saved thanks to his wife and daughter, Kushina and Mio, since they were able to contain the chakra of the mighty beast. Minato told the whole village that his Family were heroes and should not be treated as some sort of reincarnated Kyūbi. The village was fast to accept that. They had complete trust in the words of their precious Fourth, and started calling Kushina and Mio the "Saviors of Konoha".
Now, 13 years after that tragedy, this day was not one full of sadness and grief, but one of joy and Celebration. After all not only there was there a huge festival in honor of the defeat of the Kyūbi, but it was also the birthday of one of the saviors of Konoha & her twin brother. Everywhere around the village people were celebrating, but the true party was at the Namikaze Uzumaki residence, where the young Mio and Naruto, now 13 years of age, were having their birthday party.
The house of the Namikaze Uzumaki clan was not as big as the other clan houses, but it was big enough to keep all the guests that showed up to the party. These guests were the heads of every important clan of the village along with the next heirs of said clans, and some important people to the family, such as Kakashi Hatake, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya and Tsunade Senju of the Sannin.
The party was going at full blast and everyone was having a good time, but the ones that were most happy were of course Mio and Naruto. Mio Uzumaki Namikaze could only be described as a miniature version of Minato, she stood at 4ft 7in with golden blond hair which contains few strands of red hairs and are flowed back like waterfall to her shoulder, her light tan skin tone, pair of sparkling ocean blue eyes made her looks like a Californian girl but the most exotic feature are three fox like whisker marks on each of her cheeks, although her personality was more like that of her mother, Kushina Uzumaki. After all, it was hard for the girl to not pull a prank at someone when she could. In contrast to Mio her brother, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, is a bit different, he stood at 4ft 9in his hair color is dark crimson red with black streaks that are very hard to be seen, his face is without a blemish very clear with skin having light tan color tone siding on paler side but his most enthralling feature is his midnight blue eyes. Although his personality was more like Minato, calm, collected yet he is too famous in academy by dint of his cold and lonesome attitude.
When everyone have settled in the hall minato's fake coughing caught everyone's attention as he delivers his oration "Welcome everyone! I'm very glad to see all of you so energetic and excited for tonight's function! As usual, before we begin our festival to celebrate birthday of my children, let us honor those who lost their lives today with a moment of silence
Yes, if someone were to look at this scene they would think that they are the perfect family, but of course nothing is perfect. After all, nobody noticed that the birthday boy was nothing but a chakra reinforced Shadow clone.
Konohagakure no Sato, Uchiha clan compound
Naruto is approaching at Nakano Shrine to confirm his dreams which he has been having since the age of had been planning since last 3 years to do this and Kyūbi festival presents perfect opportunity for any covert mission in Konohagakure no Sato.
The Nakano shrine is a Shintō Shrine of Southern Joy and is a shrine in Konohagakure. In the main hall, beneath the seventh tatami mat from the far right, is a secret meeting place of the Uchiha clan. There stands a stone monument which contains the clan's secrets and can only be read with specific dōjutsu. The Rinnegan is able to completely decipher the contents of the monument, while the Sharingan and Mangekyō Sharingan are only able to partially decipher it. Recorded there are the secrets of the Mangekyō Sharingan, the story of the Sage of the Six Paths and the Ten-Tails. Also written on the tablet, is the story of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and the Shinju. However, certain facts and details were forged by the Sage of the Six Paths. In order to access the main hall, a sequence of seals is required to remove the stone that lays atop the entrance way. The seal itself has the Sharingan in the middle and is encircled with seal formulas.
Redhead twin brother of Mio is currently watching the entrance of Naka Shrine of Uchiha clan from the shadows, on account of the Uchiha police force that is in charge of village's security. He stared them with his glowing red eyes. As soon as they left, he moved toward the door.
In order to access main hall, He did a sequence of seals which he had been seen several times in dreams, to remove the stone that lays atop the entrance way. As soon as he entered in the secret meeting place, he stared at a stone monument which contains all the answers he needed. 'Yes today is the day, I will be able to know the underlay of my visions, my prodigious aptitude for Jutsu theories also this scarce blood limit which has manifested 4 years ago.' He thinks with eagerness.
He can sense the chakra of The Sage of the Six Paths that is emitting from stone monument, although it is very faint yet he can recognize it anywhere in the world because of Indra's and Asura's combine memories and experiences.
He can remember it like yesterday, the first vision which has happened about 10 years ago when he awakened his chakra due to an accident. He shook his head to get on the task at hand.
'Let's see, aha! There you are.' as he spotted a seal that looks like a Rinnegan, at the upper left corner on the monument, the same thing he had seen in the visions.
'So that is the seal locked by The Sage of the Six Paths. Also according to my dreams it is a time chakra seal which can only be unlocked by properly drawing chakra at specific intervals.' He concludes while examining the seals. 15 after he had been satisfied from the results and summons one shadow clone to securely unlock the array meanwhile Original left for his house to attend his & Mio's birthday party.
Later that night when he reached his room for some much needed rest which is hindered as he saw his clone is fervently waiting for him to come then he saw all there scrolls are sealed so he looked to the clone and asked " aren't you supposed to be studying these scrolls?"
"Chief, these scrolls are locked by blood seals that can only be opened by either a very skilled seal master or the person whose blood is keyed into it." C.N (clone naruto is too long ….) reported on one knee position.
"Dispel" he is now glaring at these scrolls.
'What do you think shadow?' he said to his mental partner.
'When the time is right everything will fall into pieces. By then we will have to increase our training.' A feminine but cheery voice replied him in comforting manner.
-And cut.
