Naruto:

The Golden Locket

Chapter 1: Hidden Truth

Team seven were gathered to go back to Tsunade's office to report from their successful C and D rank missions. Kakashi handed over the papers to Tsunade.

Tsunade looked up to the candidates, "Good job Team seven that will be enough for today,"

"That's it?" Naruto wailed, "We don't get any other challenging missions? You can't treat us like genins forever you know!"

Tsunade stood up and faced the small genin, "Well as of right now you are genins and therefore will be treated like genins, as you get stronger you will get more challenging missions, understood?"

Naruto moaned and sat on the floor holding his anger.

"Having a fight again are we?" a voice was heard outside the door of the office and there stepped in a man with long white spiky hair.

"Jiraiya this better be important, I'm not in the mood!" Tsunade wailed,

"I came to see how well you are doing after taking this job," replied Jiraiya,

"Well, as you can see I am very busy, so please leave!," Tsunade tried to find her sake bottle out of here drawer, her hand went further down. She pulled it out alongside with something else which she didn't realised she was pulling.

As she took out her sake, the suspicious object fell out of her hand. Everyone turned around to see what dropped on the ground.

"What's that?" Naruto curiously asked,

"It seems to be….a locket," Tsunade suspiciously wondered what it was doing in her drawer after everything of the third's possession was taken to the hokage basement.

She opened a locket and a tune was played as it was opening, everyone quietly listened.

"Can I see that?" Naruto asked as Tsunade gently handed it over to him. "I heard this song before," he continued, "It's like I know it, from a dream or something," Everyone turned to listen to Naruto.

"Wait, I did hear this from a dream, I get this dream nearly every night. I always see this woman but it's a blur so I couldn't catch her face but she sang this tune and since I get this dream more often, I know the tune,"

Naruto started humming the lullaby. And as he reached the end, people had wide shocks on the faces. Jiraiya quickly walked up to the young blonde, grabbed the locket and immediatly closed it.

"HEY! I was listening to that," Naruto wailed,

"You should just go home and rest, that goes for all of you and just forget about what you saw," Jiraiya nervously stated,

"I'm not going home ero-sennin, in fact if I didn't know any better; I say you're hiding something from us and

we're not going to leave until we get the truth," Naruto declared.

"There is nothing to worry about, no matter, it's just any locket with a small tune and there is no truth behind it, hehe..." Jiraiya scratched his head.

"Jiraiya, look me in the eye and tell me, is there anything we should know about?" Tsunade curiously asked. Jiraiya let out a heavy sigh.

"You are hiding something from us," Naruto jumped at Jiraiya.

"Know what?" Naruto anxiously asked,

Forgive me, Yondaime. Jiraiya sighed, "Look into this locket Naruto, what do you see?"

Jiraiya handed back the locket as Naruto grabbed it and took a look inside.

"I see….pictures….pictures of a man and a woman. One of them looked like….looked like…"

"No way!" Sakura interrupted, "That guy looks like….Naruto!"

"That..." Jiraiya continued, "Is Yondaime, our fourth and respected hokage and also my student,"

Jiraiya looked down at the floor trying to remember the past. "The guy who sacrificed himself for the happiness of others by sealing the nine tails-"

"Sealing? But I thought the kitsune was killed," Sakura interjected,

"No, the nine tails was invincible, so the fourth decided to seal it,"

"Into himself?"

"No…"

"He sealed it into someone else, so that may be one day the power may be in use,"

"So you mean I'm just a weapon for the villagers?!" Naruto yelled,

"Naruto?" Sakura looked confused and so did Sasuke.

"What does this have to do with the locket?" Naruto held his anger, "You should be telling the truth about the locket not about what happened twelve years ago! And….is that why people kept me alive? Just to use the power of the nine tails when the village may be in series attack?"

"Naruto, what are you on about?" Sakura curiously asked,

"Is that….is that why he sealed it in me? To live be used as a tool?" Naruto tried to hold his tears but one rolled down his cheek. Silence filled the room as Sakura and Sasuke could not believe what they have just heard.

"Yondaime wanted the villagers to treat you as a hero!" Jiraiya exclaimed,

"Then why? Why did he pick me?" Naruto was in depression.

"I want you to look at the other picture and tell me what you see,"

Naruto struggled to hold his depression of his past and took a look at the locket again. "I see a woman with red hair and light blue eyes, kind of like mine. It's like I know her but I know I never met her in my life,"

"Naruto, the woman in your dream, did she have a connection with this picture?"

"I don't know the dream was too blurry to see, maybe? Should it have a connection?"

"Have you ever thought of who you were and where you came from, you know...like a family?"

Naruto looked down to the floor and gently said, "Always,"

Everyone in the room had a cheerless face as they all knew of Naruto's past.

"Look at both these pictures Naruto, to you, who do you think they are?""Is that….is that why he sealed it in me? To live be used as a tool?" Naruto tried to hold his tears but one rolled down his cheek. Silence filled the room as Sakura and Sasuke could not believe what they have just heard.
