This story takes place with a nine year old Naruto who is currently in the hokage tower cleaning out an old storage closet. As punishment for his latest prank. His only real way to show his frustration with the village, when he finds a box with the kanji for fourth on it. He had just freed the box of dust when a badly placed set of kunai fell from an upper shelf and nicked his arm. Some of the blood from the wound dropped on the seal that kept the box closed and the seal opened much to Naruto's surprise.
Inside the box Naruto finds the great suprise of his life. A marriage certificate, birth certificate stating he was the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki-Namikaze, bank acconts, land deeds to some of the shops in kohona and a two acre piece of land behind the hokage monument. As well as two journals, and four scolls. Two with the Uzumaki swirl, one with the Namikaze symbol(a cirlce with a bolt of lighting going threw the center), and a blank one.
Quickly putting ecerything back inside the box and closing it. Doing a double check of the area making sure he didn't forget anything he grabs the box and runs straight to his apartment making sure to keep the box out of sight from everyone.
When he gets inside his place he locks the door and closes all his curtains to make sure no one can see what he is doing. Opening up the box he grabs the blank scroll. After a minute of trying to open it he thought back to how he opens the box and cuts his finger opening the scroll only for two more to pop out. He looks at them for a second before opening up the one on the left and starts reading it.
' Naruto,
This is your mother writing to you.
If you're reading this letter, it means that I'm dead and that you had to grow up without your mother, probably bearing the burden of being a jailor like me. I hope you never understand the meaning of that word, but if you do, then I want to say I'm so, so, so, sorry, Sochi, that I couldn't be there for you.
I know there's a great chance that you could think we abandoned you, or that you might even hate us for what you've gone through, and you would have every reason to think like that. But I want you to know that I've loved you ever since the moment I found out about you, and giving birth to you is going to be the best thing I'll ever do in my life, I'm sure of it. If you never have to read this letter, I hope it means that I've been able to give you all the love in the world, and that you've had a happy childhood, without the struggles I've gone through.
I love you so much it's almost impossible to describe; I can't wrap my head around the idea that I'm carrying my child, the one I had from the man I love, in my belly, and that I'm going to be your mother, and that you'll be my baby. But if you're reading those words, then I haven't been able to do all those things, and I hope I've managed to tell you how I feel.
Please take care, my love. Remember to eat properly and take care of yourself, and take your studies and training seriously, or I swear I'll spank your butt when I see you in the afterlife.
Make friends, Naruto, true ones, people you can count on, and fill your heart with love. It's the only way to counter the hate that comes with being a jinchūriki.
And most importantly: it's only natural, but don't go after every girl you find beautiful. Instead, wait for the right one. Don't worry, she'll come.
There is so much more I want to tell you, my beautiful baby boy, but remember that, no matter what, I'm proud of you and I will always love you until the end.
With love,
Your beautiful redheaded kaa-san,
Uzumaki Kushina. '
Before his cheeks turn into a river of tears with him holding to his chest a picture of her pregent. Muttering she loved me over and over again.
About half and hour later, after getting himself together again he picks up the other scroll and starts reading again.
' Naruto,
If you're reading this letter, then I'm dead, my son, and it means that we've left you alone, as an orphan, being a jinchūriki.
Naruto, I want you to know that the only reason I chose you to be a host was because I trusted you. I don't even need to see you grow and watch the man you'll become to know it. I had and still have more faith in you than anybody else: you're Kushina and I's child. Besides, what kind of leader would I be if I had asked for anyone else's child? But please believe me when I tell you nothing about that decision would be easy. Just contemplating it nearly makes my heart snap.
To make my own son go through this is unimaginable, but I won't have a choice. Your mother's pregnancy is quite dangerous, because the energy used to contain the Kyūbi is redirected at you, and the seal is weakening. If the fox manages to get out during your birth, Kushina will be too weak to reseal it within herself, and you, as an Uzumaki, will be the only option available.
But whatever happens, Naruto, remember that you need to live your life the way you want it. Nothing about your condition makes you obligated to live in a particular way. if you've inherited even an ounce of your mother's personality, you'll probably want to enlist as a shinobi, if you do make me a promise and be better than both your mother and I. Nobody should tell you what your dreams should or shouldn't be. You are Namikaze - Uzumaki Naruto, and you make your own destiny.
If you want to hate someone, hate me, son. Don't direct your anger and resentment at the villagers; they're afraid of the things they don't understand, they need someone to guide them, and I've got a feeling that will be you.
One last piece of advice from your old man despection is key in the life of a shinobi. There's nothing much left to say. Listen to your motor-mouthed mother, live your life, and most importantly, be happy.
I have complete and utter faith in you, son.
With love,
Your father,
Namikaze Minato
Again Naruto cries holding a picture of Minato and the picture of Kushina in his chest. Muttering I forgive you... I forgive you. After twenty minutes he some how puts the scroll back into the one they came out of and closes it.
Opening the closer of the two Uzumaki strolls he ables some blood and it opens. The first things he sees is a piece of paper. He grabs it and starts reading it. After he finish's he relaizes this scroll was on all information about the Uzumaki clan and their techniques.
After closing it and putting it back he grabs the other one. Opening in he finds hundreds of different jutsu. Most on Suiton and sealing jutsu. Before sealing it all up and opening the remaining scroll, the Namikaze scroll.
Slowly he opens it up and finds a piece of paper
' Naruto if you opened this scroll then I am dead. Inside are everything of my style. From my taijutsu, fuinjutsu, and ninjutsu.
I never could get any where with genjutsu same with your mother. Hopeful this will help you later on.
One more thing before you try any of these jutsu you must have some chakra control, and I recommend learn Kage No Bushin first, it's the most helpful thing you will ever learn. '
With what his father told him he closes up the scroll and puts it in the box. He gets up takes the box closes it and puts it under the floor boards in his bed room before going to sleep after learning so much, the energy he had was washed away making his exhaustion take over him. Putting him to sleep. But also giving him a new dream a new purpose ' I will succeed both of you, mom dad I will gain the strength to call myself your son. To honor you both, to prove that you didn't die in vain'
Three years later
Alot can happen in a short amount of time. Naruto after a month of going through everything of his parents on chakra control found that he would start on the Kage No Bushin to learn, cause he could now do the tree climbing excresive.
After a full day in the woods surrounding kohnoa he got it done but still didn't know why his father wanted him to learn this jutsu before he does anything else. Till he had it prepare a cup of ramen for him and he got the memory of it. After that he would cover his apartment in clones of himself reading everyt last piece of information that his parents left for him.
With in a year he knew everything of the Uzumaki clan that his mother had, got into the intermedite stances for his fathers taijutsu style the Hummingbird, started on his kenjutsu to honor his mother and her clan. He started to dive into fuinjutsu and he took to it like a fish to water and with the help of his clones he got up to level 3.
With in the third year now of knowing his parents. He has grow at an unparral rate. With knowing and mastering both his parents taijutsu the hummingbird and swirling tide of the Uzumaki. His kenjutsu has jumped to high chunin, his fuinjutsu had jumped to level 7( here you use hand signs for the seals). But it was his ninjutsu that grew the most where with his now kage level reserves he was able to master hundreds of jutsu mostly for Fuuton and Suiton, down to two or less hand seals like his father would do.
After going threw the Namikaze scroll he learned speed is usually the thing between life and death so he started to work on his speed and strength. Lets just say thanks to the kyubi healing rate he was able to abuse the shit out of training weights till he put on resistance seal. The only ones in the village that would be able to beat him in speed would be the elite joinun and the hokage.
The hardest part was keeping everything a sercet like his father said deception is key to be a shinobi. During the day he would have a clone go to the acedemy and keep up the act of being an idiot and class clown. After a few weeks he noticed that no one would use the training grounds near the forest of death so he would train their in serect. With the occasional help from his best friend Anko.
/ Flashback /
About a year half ago. Naruto was going through his mothers taijutsu stances when suddenently he heard something coming from behind him. Reacting quickly he brings out a kunai and deflects a kunai that was thrown at him. Before he could say anything a hail storm of shurikin are released on his left side quickly grabing another kunai he deflect them all. When he heres clapping behind him. He turns around to see a woman with purple hair kept in a spiky pony-tail, pupilless caramel eyes, pearly white skin, and a sexy outfit that consisted of a mesh shirt and shorts with a skirt and trench coat. Walking towards him
"What the hell woman... what the fuck is wrong with you I could have died!" Naruto yells
"Would you relax... I just wanted to see who was my new neighbor was" Anko states as if everything was normal
"What... what are you you talking about" but before he could contine Anko cuts him off pointing in the direction of training ground 44" you see that forest...thats my home away from home. My personal training ground" She says with the biggest shit eating smile on her face
"Wait you train in their." To which she nods dumbly since she just said that " so your the one who keeps making all those explosions that distract me when I'm trying to train" making her scrach the back of her neck
" yeah guess I am...what are you working on, looks complicated... need some help brat"
/Flashback End/
With her help she made him just about intraceable. He had improved his reaction time, his stealth and had increase his ninjutsu arsenia which had aleady been quite inpressive to say the less.
But here we are in the acedemy waiting for his name to be called to do the acedemy test to graduate. Even though it was still on his worst jutsu... the Bushin no jutsu. He knew he had just to much chakra for it yet they had made it the requirement to pass.
(Not going to go into it he fails because he can't do the bushin and then Mizuki comes vist him. Skiping to the hokage tower)
Here he is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze sitting in the hokage seat with the scroll of sealing on his lap waiting for the hokage to come back in from his council meeting. Luckly he didn't have to wait long as the door opened up.
"Jiji I've been waiting for you what took you so long" Naruto states with out a care in the world
"Naruto what are you doing here... and what are you foing with that scroll" The aged Hokage asked questionly
"Oh... well you see I fail the graduation test again just because I can't preform the Bushin No jutsu all because I have too much chakra. Then Mizuki cames up to me and says that I can still pass if I complete the hidden test, to which I have to steal the scroll of sealing" Naruto still says with out a care in the world but this time turning to look out the village " before you say anything jiji, I want to say that I also know the truth, so stop lieing to me... ok... I can't take it anymore" He says in a whisper
"And which truth would that be" The age man says calmly. Already sending his ANBU that guard him 24/7 after Mizuku.
"How about my parents and the kyubi" Naruto states angry because he tried of playing this game
Sarutobi just stands their shocked that he some how knows the two sercets he's been hiding from him" And who do you think your parents are" he asks and before Naruto can answer a sliencing barrier went up
" ah a sliencing barrier" he states shocking the old man even more since he knows exactly what type of barrier it was " what did you ask... oh yeah my parents Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki"
" how did you find out" Sarutobi asks as he sits down on the couch looking defeated
"Remember three years ago when you had me to clean that old storage room as a punishment for a prank" to which he nods " I found a box of the fourths and some of my blood landed on it and it opened"
"So why tell me now that you knew when you had three years to do so" The aged hokage asked
"Because now I am a shinobi... or will be when you give me a headband for helping catch a tratior. Putting me under your control and not the council" getting the aged man to smile
"Who knew you had a brain" he days chuckling. While Naruto was panting " so what do you want to know about them" he says looking at him with hope. Hope that he can fix the promise he broke to Minato.
After a few hours of talking and understanding everything Naruto has been doing the last three years he sends him home to go to sleep. With him left thinking in his office.' Their home was destroyed in the attack, the bank accounts he gets when he becomes chunin. I also check them weekly so that is good, the apartment. Yes... village beautify restoration act' he chuckles before starting on the paperwork.
