Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, Naruto Shippuden or any of its movies nor the characters in them. It all belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. I'm merely playing god with them ;).
A/N: Oh god, I always wanted to write that, 'cause that means I'm brining a Naruto fanfic out! Of course I would want to own Naruto and Co., are you kidding? Who doesn't?
Two men and a woman leaped through the trees. They all had two common features. Their eyes were a deep ocean blue and blond hair rested on their scalps. The woman had a gunbai strapped to her back while the men had swords secured at their hips.
They all wore a long sleeved shirt with a high collar. Once the symbol of a proud clan had been sewn into the back of their shirts, but now, they wanted nothing to do with it.
"You know, they will come after us. We were once part of their clan, although it didn't seem like it. A thing they liked to remind us", the man in the middle of the trio said bitterly.
"Since we have strong genetics we should found a clan as well. If we never use our Kekkei Genkai no one will ever suspect a connection."
"Sounds like a good idea sister, but how should we name this clan?", the now identified brother asked.
"Tsunami Kaze", their third companion spoke up. Both brother and sister looked oddly at the young man.
"That was the name of our mother. She married into our former clan. What's with her name", the woman asked, curiosity evident in her voice.
"Well I was thinking... Tsunami Kaze... Nami Kaze. Namikaze! How about the Namikaze clan? We would even be honoring our mother. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. Because of her all our descendants might have blond hair and blue eyes. That clan would be her legacy", he said excited.
"Sounds good. It is decided! We are the Namikaze Clan!"
Today would be a day marked in history. Today two legends had battled. One of them would stand strong, while the other would fall and be forever shunned by his own people. One had died while the other had survived.
However, the shinobi was completely oblivious that something had watched their whole battle.
So this is how it ends, it thought. Again, Asura's descendant wins. Indra had so much potential and power, but his little, goofy brother seemed to be far greater than himself. A shame really. I see that these two have their chakra. It is different though... It is weaker. The Otsutsuki chakra in Hagoromo's and Hamura's descendants is getting each generation weaker. This might be a... problem for the future.
It turned around, and sunk back into the ground, not to be seen again.
"Hokage-sama, you called me here. What is the meaning behind this? I hope you were made aware of how time-consuming it is, to govern a whole clan."
The addressed man chuckled sheepishly. "Man, I'm never going to get accustomed to the 'almighty' Uchiha addressing me like that. Do you admit I'm better than you, hm, Fugaku?"
At that, the normally stern face of the Uchiha patriarch flowed into a small smile. "I admit, you have clearly proven yourself to be the superior of us two, but", his smile vanished and a serious expression befell his face ,"as I have already said, as a clan head, I don't have much time to spare."
Minato's expression went serious as well. "Good. ANBU, out of the room." Fugaku saw the 'shadows' shift and knew, any hidden eyes were gone. He saw Minato going through a set of hand seals and recognized them immediately. A fuuinjutsu for soundproofing the room.
"As you know, my son Naruto, is going to be born soon. And you know of Kushina's condition as well, don't you?"
Fugaku nodded. He didn't like where this was going. "There is a high risk the seal breaks." Fugaku was normally very stoic, but he couldn't suppress the slight widening of his eyes. If the seal broke that would mean...
"Correct. Kyuubi would be right at our doorstep. I already have a plan to counter that, but it will cost my life. And with 'it will', I mean there is no chance I'm gonna live to tell the tale. And there would be no chance of Naruto having a father." Minato wasn't done though. "If the seal breaks, Kushina's chakra system literally will break. That equally means death."
Fugaku's fists clenched. Even though he did not show it very much, he considered Minato a close friend and his wife Mikoto was friends with Kushina as well.
Their deaths would be emotionally hard for the Uchiha Head Family. However, why would Minato order him here? Just to tell him that? Wait, if Naruto did not have parents then...
He could not hide his shock and surprise. "Minato you..." The blond nodded his head solemnly. "Kushina approved. If anything is to happen to both me and Kushina, you and Mikoto-san are Naruto's legal guardians." He took a few papers stacked neatly on his desk. "Ah, and here are the legal papers. All details are there. So, what do you say?"
Fugaku's facial expression was blank as he took the papers. He skimmed over them. Inwardly he was overjoyed that Minato trusted him that much. He would not fail. Although there was one problem.
"I say yes. Mikoto will say yes as well; our daughter would even have someone to grow up with. But we aren't just some family, we are a family from a very powerful clan. To top it off, we are its actual Head Family. We cannot just accept anyone into it, Hokage's son or not. Uzumaki genetics are proof of a strong heritage, but they are related to the Senju... The elders would throw a fit. And I might even fear for the boy's life."
However Minato just smirked. Fugaku knew that smirk. It was when Minato knew he had won. "What do you know about the Namikaze name?"
"Well you always said your family was just a simple fisher family. I never bought it, seeing the genius you were and still are... Hold on, don't tell me you actually come from a clan. I knew it! No civilian can just surpass Uchihas!"
"Well, to beat an Uchiha another Uchiha is needed, isn't that right Fugaku?", he asked and closed his eyes. When he opened them, instead of blue, red greeted the proud Uchiha. A very familiar blood red with three tomoes in it. Out of reflex Fugaku activated his own. Shock paralyzed him. Minato, an Uchiha? Impossible!
But the proof stared right at him. It wasn't a genjutsu and he could faintly see the chakra being channeled into the eyes.
"H-How...?", he stammered.
"I know that once, three Uchihas left the Uchiha Clan. They had blond hair and blue eyes. They founded a clan under the name Namikaze. They took residence in the Land of Water shortly before the Warring States Era. A sickness befell them and all but two survived. Both parted ways and became eremites. Since then, Namikazes wandered the continent. Until my mother and my father found their home in Konoha. They died shortly after I was born."
"That is..."
"Incredible? I thought it was crazy when I first read through my parents' notes. That is, until after a very vicious training session one set of sharingan eyes stared right back at me, instead of my blue ones."
He still was quite in shock, but slowly, things made sense. How Minato could use the Hiraishin so efficient. It shouldn't have been possible for a non-Sharingan user to operate under such great speeds. Or Minato's ability to see through any jutsu under record time.
"So if worst comes to worst, I and Mikoto adopt Naruto and drop the bomb that Konoha's greatest war hero had a clan who came from the Uchiha. You might just give all elders an infarct."
Minato laughed. "Well, you somehow gotta get entertained in this repetitive job."
A/N: Well that's a wrap for now. This is one of my first stories I have ever written in English and English isn't even my maternal language. So please have mercy on me :P. I would really appreciate some criticism. As long as it is constructive. Flames ain't helping me nor you...
So yeah, you might have guessed, this is a Sharingan!Naruto story. But! Do not fear, Naruto won't be blowing shit up with simply moving his pinkie nor will he have a horde of very fuckable girls. In fact, I already have someone(only ONE) in mind. And he won't be shinra tesei'ing nothing for at least a long time. I came up with this story like half an hour before I wrote all this down. I'm still figuring everything out and I know roughly what will happen till the beginning of the Chuunin Exams. Before I post this though, one more thing I gotta say: I'm the author of this and solely I, decide what happens as next.
Peace out!
