Chapter One
Who Are You?
Outside of Konoha far enough away to see the gates in the distance but still not be seen by the ninja guarding the gate or have chakra sensed by them stood two men. One was in the woods hiding his face from the other man and the other thing that could be seen was his black cloche with red clouds on it flapping out of the shadowed woods when the wind blew. The other man was none other than Sasuke Uchiha still wearing the attire he had worn when with Orochimaru minus the rope belt. Sasuke just looked nervously into the shadows at the hidden man.
"Are you sure this will work?" Sasuke asked the man.
"Yes your friends will welcome you back with open arms Sasuke Uchiha. I helped you with killing your brother and saving you from the curse mark so you can go home now." Said the man in the shadows whose voice sounded frightening yet calm.
"But it was been so long and I tried to kill Naruto more than once. The second time it was without any emotion at all. I don't think he would still think of me as a brother." Sasuke said.
The man in the shadows laughed at this and said to Sasuke. "He still thinks of you as a brother Sasuke and he will be overjoyed to see you. Me on the other hand he will not be happy to see."
"That is because your apart of Akatsuki, and if you didn't help me I would never had let you come with me to Konoha." Sasuke said.
"If you lead me are not would not have mattered. I've been to Konoha and I was there a long time watching Naruto Uzamaki the container of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. What a sad live indeed for young Naruto." The man said.
"Well I will stop you from getting anywhere near Naruto it protect him you Akatsuki bastard." Sasuke said as his got into a fighting stance.
"If I was a member Sasuke would I have killed your brother or have watched Naruto and not taken him. I don't think so Sasuke. So you just get me Naruto and you'll be greatly rewarded." The man said.
"Fine but if you hurt Naruto I will kill you." Sasuke said trying to see the man's face.
"Transformation jutsu." The man in the shadows shouted. There was a poof of smoke and the man stepped into the light his eyes a calming deep blue, with medium height brown spiky hair and a goatee around his mouth. His clothes changed from the Akatsuki black cloche with red clouds to a black shirt with a yin yang on it and blank cargo pants which both of them looked worn down from travel with brown sandals. "Let's go Sasuke."
The two walk to the gate and the Chunin that was there didn't look up and asked for a name and their business in Konoha.
"A name is something I cannot give you dear ninja. You see I never had a name so never gave myself one. Though as for my business here I wish for a place to call home seeing as I never had one and my friend here said this place called Konoha would be a place open for a wary traveler like me" The man said his voice now calm and relaxing.
"And who might than be." The Chunin asked looking up to see none other than Sasuke standing next to the young looking traveler.
"What are you doing back?" The Chunin asked with a yell.
"I understand what I did was wrong I wish to see the Hokage. I was to rejoin the village." Sasuke said.
The Chunin guard looked at him the suspicion than let them pass and said. "Go straight to the Hokage's office and fill out the paperwork."
With that Sasuke and the nameless man walk to the Hokage's office getting looks of surprise, shock, hate and even suspicion as they walked. When after what seemed like forever they were at the Hokage's office Lady Tsunade inside doing paperwork as usual when a knock came to the door. "Come in." Tsunade shouted form behind the desk only to be shocked to see Sasuke walk in.
"Way have you come back to this village Sasuke Uchiha?" Tsunade said anger building up inside her.
"I wanted to return to the village Lady Hokage." Sasuke said looking at the ground not to make eye contact.
Tsunade said nothing as she pulled out a form and gave it to him. "Fill it out and you can get your forehead protector back." She said.
He filled it out and got his forehead protector and sat in the corner as the other man came in and sat in front of the desk. Tsunade eyed him suspiciously and then asked. "Who are you?"
"I am a wary traveler that has come to this village to find a home seeing as I never really had a home and wish to find a nice place to live. I don't ask for much just a small place to call my own." The man said.
"No, Who Are You?" Tsunade asked.
"I just told you who I was." The man said.
"I was looked for a name." Tsunade said with anger in her voice.
"Oh a name is what you want. Well I never really had a name since I was young no one ever gave me a name. When I was in an orphanage the people there would treat me so bad that they never gave me a name. So since I left that place I never gave myself a name. I have been nameless for all my whole life. So I can't give you a name. But if I need to have a name I guess Kazuo would be best fitting." The man said calling himself Kazuo.
"Kazuo but that means 'man of peace'." Tsunade said.
"Yes I am a man of peace and I don't like to way Naruto Uzumaki has been treated by the people of this village over the years." Kazuo said.
"How do you know that?" Tsunade questioned suspiciously.
"I know a lot about dear Naruto and how the village hates him for having the Kyuubi inside of him, that he was meant to be a hero, that he is all alone and has no living relative, and that every night he cries himself to sleep if not for being hated by most of the village of for Sasuke leaving. Though he hasn't cried in a while I think." Kazuo said.
"How do you know so much?" Tsunade asked him as she signaled the ANBU to get ready. Naruto was walking up the hall as this was happening almost at the door to Tsunade's office.
"I can't say that but you can trust me I mean him no harm." The man called Kazuo dropped his transformation jutsu. Naruto opened the door as Tsunade yelled. "Akatsuki don't let them get to Naruto."
The man saw Naruto and in the blind of an eye he was holding onto Naruto's shoulders and shouted. "Warp jump jutsu." With those words time and everyone seemed to slow to a near pause. The man tapped Naruto's forehead and he fell unconscious so the man run and jumped out the window. He got far enough away to where an unpatrolled area was and released the wrap jump jutsu. Back at the Hokage tower Tsunade was furious and yelled at Sasuke for bringing an Akatsuki member to the village. Then yelled to the ANBU. "Ok find them and bring that Member of Akatsuki back alive for interrogation. And get the nearest Hyuuga here now." Upon opening the door she saw Hinata Hyuuga standing there shocked as she just saw Naruto be taken by an Akatsuki member that didn't need to use hand signs for jutsu. Tsunade told Hinata to find the member and Naruto by using her Byakugan to track the Chakra signals but she couldn't see a trace of Naruto's or the man's Chakra anywhere near the tower.
With Naruto in the Woods
"Wake up Naruto I need to speak with you." The man said as Naruto slowly wake to find himself tied to a tree.
"What the Hell un-tie me right now you freak." Naruto shouted at the man.
"Naruto I will un-tie you when you agree to listen to what I have to say." The man said calmly.
"Why should I?" Naruto asked.
"For one." The man said putting on a fully black dragon ANBU mask with its fangs bared. "I saved your life when you were five years old. Also I have information that will make you very happy. So will you listen and stay calm when I talk to you?" The man asked as he removed to mask.
"Fine but make it quick." Naruto said stubbornly as he was un-tied.
"First let me tell you that all Akatsuki members are died. I know you think I'm with Akatsuki but you're still here and not having Kyuubi pulled out of you. Second I have been watching over you your whole life. There are a few more things that I need to tell you but now is not the time. All I can say now is two things and I want you to meet me here at midnight. Also that I know about your family and can show you a living relative Naruto. Go and take this scroll to the Hokage it holds the Head of the Akatsuki leader and proof that the others are dead also." The man said to Naruto just before disappearing into the trees and leaving Naruto to think.
"Could I really have a living family member? What should I say to them?" Naruto thought to himself as he made his way back to the Hokage's office with the scroll.
Hokage's Office
Naruto walked in with the scroll in hand and Tsunade looked up at him in shock. Not after stepping one foot in the door Naruto was bombarded with questions by Tsunade. "Naruto, what happened? Are you okay? How did you get away? Did you kill the Akatsuki member? He didn't get anything from you did he? And what's with that scroll?" Tsunade asked when she noticed the scroll in Naruto's hand.
Naruto just stood there thinking of how to answer her questions without letting her know he was meeting that strange man again. "Well the scroll is proof that all the Akatsuki are dead." Naruto said handing it to her. "Also that Akatsuki member is no more. I killed him and his head is sealed in that scroll." Naruto lied but kept a straight face to not show it. Tsunade was looking at it suspiciously then at Naruto and knew something was up and as she was about to call him out on it Hinata walk in disappointed. "I couldn't find him Lady Hokage-sama." Hinata said with her head down.
"Couldn't find who?" Naruto asked causing Hinata to look up sharply and blush when she saw she was really close to Naruto.
"N-Naruto-kun you're okay." Hinata stuttered happily and jump on him in a hug without thinking.
"Um Hinata what are you doing?" Naruto asked confused about the hug.
Realizing what she was doing she blushed more wildly and jumped back and faint causing Naruto to catch her.
"Why does she always do this around me?" Naruto asked himself out loud. "Come on Hinata wake up." He said shaking her.
"So you still haven't figured it out yet Naruto. Everyone else knows but you." Tsunade chuckled as Naruto laid Hinata in a couch that was nearby.
"Figured what out Granny Tsunade?" Naruto asked.
"Oh nothing you're just a slow baka is all." Tsunade said. She gave the scroll a look over and gave it to an ANBU to look at the contents and report to her when they find out what is in the scroll.
"Well I need to get going Granny. I have things to do and you don't want and idiot in your office now do you." Naruto said a bit angry about being called a Baka. He jumped out the window and from rooftop to rooftop to the training field to get some training in before his meeting. Tsunade waited for Hinata to wake up and when she did Tsunade told Hinata one thing. "Follow Naruto and stay out of his sight. See what he is up to you will have an ANBU with you if any trouble arrives. Remember to stay hidden you seem to be good at that when you watch Naruto train anyways so you perfect for this mission." After hearing that Hinata blushed and was off to keep an eye on Naruto with an ANBU close behind her.
Mid-night in woods
Naruto jumped into the clearing in the woods not noticing Hinata and the ANBU's presence as they hide in the darkness of the trees from the silver light of the seemingly full moon. "Naruto-kun why are you out here all alone at this time of night?" Hinata thought to herself blushing at the sight of him. Naruto stood there for five minutes then got restless when no one was coming. He turned to leave when he heard someone walk into the clearing.
"I'm glad you decided to come Naruto I assume you want to know about your living family member don't you." The man said loud enough for everyone to hear as he walked into the clearing his Akatsuki rube blowing in the wind.
"Yes, what do you know about my family?" Naruto asked the man causing Hinata to hold a hand over her mouth. "That's the man from earlier and he's an Akatsuki but he knows something about Naruto-kun's family I wonder what it is?" Hinata thought asking the ANBU to let them talk and only attack when they were done or if the man in the Akatsuki coat attacked Naruto. The ANBU nodded also curious about Naruto's family.
"Well to tell you about your family I need to tell you about my clan and its kekkei genkai the Tomoryouchigan or the 'all-knowing eye' seeing as the story I'm about to tell you will tell you about my clan's past and how it is connected to your clan's Naruto." The man said so everyone could hear again which he planned to do the whole time.
"Okay then, tell me the story so I can know about my family." Naruto said sitting down. The man followed in sitting next to Naruto.
"Well long ago when my clan first got the Kekkei Genkai the head of the family had three children two boys and one girl the girl being the middle child. The Kekkei Genkai of my clan was the most powerful in the entire Shinobi world and since we lived in Konoha every other country wanted it so they did what they could do they sent ninja to kidnap the clan's daughter. With her they would be able to make an army of ninja with the Tomoryouchigan. When the clan found her in Rain country with the Mizukage she was lost her mind and her memory was erased and she only know to obey the Mizukage and she killed her younger brother. Which in return the oldest brother had to kill her and told his father what had happened so for it to never happen again he made a seal that is pasted down so that only the men of the clan can have to Kekkei Genkai and pass it on. After the people found out they tried to kill off the clan if they couldn't have it they thought no one should. So when I was four months old me family went to see some friends and they were attached on the way back I was hurt bad and was thought to be dead. I was healed and train and at the age of 8 I summoned the Kyuubi that is now inside you Naruto. That is why I watched over you." The man said.
"Wait, what does that have to do about my family? How could you summon Kyuubi so young? And what about my living relative?" Naruto shouted as he stood up.
"Well you could ask what the clan name is and I will tell you what you want to know." The man said.
"What was the clan name?" Naruto asked.
"The clan name was Namikaze. The last name of your 4th Hokage Minato Namikaze. My father and yours." The man said.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked curious of the answer.
"My name is Tei Uzumaki-Namikaze and I am your brother." Tei said.
"Don't joke." Naruto said.
"It's no joke just like how I've been watching over you your whole life." Tei said. "Hinata-Chan why don't you come out now." Tei added.
Hinata stepped into view. Naruto was shocked he didn't notice she was watching. Than Tei stood in front of the woods for the ANBU to have a clear shot.
"Now I need to go Naruto before the ANBU throws to kunai with the sleeping jutsu on it at me." Tei said as the ANBU throw it and Tei let it fly into his back and slowly fell asleep as the ANBU caught Tei and took him to the Hokage for interrogation.
