Author's note: This is my first attempt at ever writing for fan-fiction so be easy on me, but constructive criticism is much appreciated, or you could just lie and say you liked it, I don't care. Also I don't really read the manga but, I do know some of the big events. So I will try to make the story as accurate as possible while adding my own ideas (even if they are crazy). Also please excuse my mistakes. With Grammar and such

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or the song I'm going to use, I can't say the song yet or it would ruin everything because I'm trying to wrap a story around a song. Also this Disclaimer applies to every chapter I put up if my writing is liked.

Chapter One

Naruto suffered more than anyone after Jaraiya's death. So many things were thrust upon him at one time. The overall loss of someone so important in his life, becoming the new toad sannin because he was now keeper of the scroll, which Naruto wasn't even really comfortable with (he felt like he couldn't life up to job that Jaraiya actually did when he wasn't being perverted), but the biggest shocker of all was in Jaraiya's will.

(Ooh, Ooh a Flashback)

Naruto had been called to Tsunade's office by an ANBU one day, he asked why, but the ANBU just shrugged. "Tell her that I'll be there soon," Naruto replied in a depressed tone. "I will" the ANBU said as he disappeared.

"What does Baa-Chan want with me?" Naruto said thinking aloud, "Hopefully it isn't a mission I'm not near ready enough to live up to Pervy Sage." Still, he got ready, locked up his house and went to the Hokage Mansion. He walked the steps wondering what Tsunade would want. Finally reaching the door he actually took the liberty to knock and was called in. "What do you want Baa-Chan?" he asked.

"Naruto! Show some respect," yelled his teammate Sakura.

"Sakura leave us!" barked Tsunade. Naruto just stood there unfazed by the punch that almost hit him from Sakura.

"Yes Hokage-sama," said Sakura putting down her fist and she turned to leave.

"What do you want?" asked the new Toad Sannin.

"It's about Jaraiya's will," she said getting Naruto's attention. "What about it?" asked a highly intrigued Naruto. "In the will it said to go to Jaraiya's house, which I didn't even know he had to find two letters that only you could read, it also said to read the one from Jaraiya first," Tsunade picked up a letter and handed it to him, "here," she said now becoming silent. Naruto read the letter.

Dear Naruto,

If you are reading this I am either dead or you have finally become mature enough to be able to understand the information contained in the next letter. It has to do with you heritage. I'm sorry for not being able to you this myself but I'm either dead or away. If I am dead I hope that you are not too depressed and this will help you cope.

-Jaraiya

'My heritage' Naruto thought asking for the next letter.

He opened it was completely amazed by what he read. Tsunade become very nosey asked what it said, Naruto just handed her the letter.

The citizens of Konoha were all enjoying the nice morning and were getting along just fine thinking it was just a normal day till they heard "WHAT!?" ringing throughout the village.

"Naruto this is amazing… I...I can't believe it," said Tsunade in shock.

"I know what you mean I'm surprised myself," said Naruto with mixed emotions, "My father was the great 4th Hokage and he sealed the fox inside of me to protect the village."

"Naruto we have to do DNA testing to be sure, but we must alert the council immediately," explained Tsunade. "Alright fine, but only the council will know I don't want this to get out yet," said the Toad Sannin, "I would like to get use to my new home and be alone for a bit, this… this is just too much to handle at one time. Also I don't want and any missions I'm not ready yet."

"I understand," said the Tsunade, and then she barked, "Shizune," Shizune then ran in to see what Tsunade wanted, "get a sample of Naruto's blood for me and call the council to a meeting."

"Yes…My Lady. Naruto please follow me," Said Shizune leaving the Hokage's office with Naruto right behind her.

(Council Chamber's)

"Why did you call us?" asked Danzo one the more notorious members.

"We have found the last Namikaze," replied Tsunade. Suddenly the room filled with chatting of members till Danzo finally asked who. Tsunade looked towards the door and nodded her head letting Naruto know it was time to enter. "Council I have the honor of introducing to you Naruto Namikaze, the Toad Sannin, for proof we also have a letter from Minato to Naruto and the DNA doesn't lie."

The council was in shock some yelling how that can't be true because he was the vessel of the demon fox and such, but they soon enough were quieted. "What is it that you want Naruto besides your spot on the council?" Danzo spoke almost afraid to ask. He knew that Naruto didn't particually like then trying to get him banished a few times, but couldn't justify it.

"Not much," said Naruto in return, "I just want to go home for a while then leave the village for a few years to train and re-establish that I'm the new Sannin for our informants. For a few years you can continue like I'm not even here. Also don't tell the people of my return, I don't want to be disturbed"

"This all sounds fair and the council shall agree to this," said a person that Naruto didn't recognize.

"Thank You," said Naruto then turned to leave.

(End of Flashback)

Naruto Namikaze had been in his house for a week with mixed emotions. Still grieving from the lost of his sensei, but incredibly happy that he found out who his family was. Most of the time, he would just sit in the dark or roam the many houses of the estate quietly. Naruto found a study with many scrolls with his family's jutsus and he decided to take them with him on journey. Mastering them would make him quite a ninja. Finally deciding to leave, he got up out of bed, retrieved what he packed the night before, sent a letter informing Tsunade that he was leaving.

Walking out of his estate he walked towards the closest gate to leave. It was an overcast day and many thought it would rain and stayed inside. Naruto barely able to pick his feet off the ground made his way to the gate. He was still highly depressed. At the same time there was someone else out and about, a very powerful kunoichi was looking for him; she had been looking for him for the past week. "Naruto where are you, it's not like you to disappear for a week. You weren't even at your apartment." She said to herself as she ran throughout town. Finally she spotted him walking towards the western gate.

Just as he was about to leave he heard his name called and turned to see who it was. "Hey Sakura, what are you doing for here?" was all he could muster to say. "What am I doing here?" What about you, you've been isolating yourself for a week and now you're just leaving. Please don't tell me you're doing something reckless, like going after Sasuke."

Naruto suddenly remembered Sasuke, it hurt him inside. "I'm just going to go train for a few years to get stronger so I might be able to get Sasuke back for you one day, I know that you love him," said Naruto trying to hold back tears he had feeling for her, true feelings, since the ninja academy, but she never returned them. She was always infatuated with Sasuke when they were younger, but not now she realized that there was another. One that had always been there, even though she tried to lie about these feelings for Naruto she couldn't anymore after hearing what he said.

"Lo…love him," She said tears started forming, "but Naruto," She was the cut by Naruto's good bye and he jumped into the trees. She screamed his name again, but to no avail. She fell down on to her knees with head hanging down and whispered to herself, "but, Naruto I care more about you than Sasuke. I…I love you." Then the rain started to fall and she got up and left. Many people couldn't tell she was crying, because of the rain and she just walked home to find comfort in her pillow.

Naruto just ran as fast as he could from the village, crying as he went. He was trying to lock a heart that he didn't even own. From day one Sakura had owned his heart and she used it against him to go and try to get the rogue ninja Sasuke. Even though he gave her his promise with a smile and a thumb up, it hurt him more than she knew. After reaching a town on the outskirts of the land of fire, he held back his tears and sucked it up. He then saw something in a store that caught his eye. Walking in he found a man listening to some music. He walked up to the counter where the man was at, and the man then put down his music to see who it was.

The man became astounded at who it was, "Toad Sannin am honored that you would come to my humble music shop. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes, that guitar in you window caught my eye, I've never seen one like that." Naruto replied.

"Ah ha, you have a good eye that is a new breed of guitar that is electric. Instead of using the strings to produce the sound, the strings cause electrical signal that are sent to an amplifier which produces the sound," said the shopkeeper excited that Naruto had brought up the guitar.

Naruto really liked the guitar it was also a lot smaller than the acoustic kind. The man then explained that it was a Stratocaster and becoming very popular in other lands. It hadn't really reached the land of fire. It probable take off for a while. There weren't any good musician as of late in the land of fire. Konoha also was re-covering from the last attack. It had thrown off the economy and people didn't have time for playing music.

"How much?" Naruto asked.

"For you, I'll give you 25 percent off on the guitar and you'll need an amp, also have you ever played before?" Naruto shook his head no, "alright so ill throw in books on how to teach yourself for free," the man explained, "so that totals up to about how much you have in your wallet."

"What?!" Naruto yelled. "I know it's a hefty price, but you're getting a lot of stuff here and its new technology and you know what I'll throw in 5 packs of replacement strings and a tuner," replied the man.

"You're lucky that the guitar is worth it," said Naruto kind of annoyed, he handed him the money, which really wasn't a problem for him now with his families inheritance, his family owned the bank (so he was rich), then took everything sealed it in a scroll all except the guitar; he wanted to gaze at its beauty for a while. The body of the went from brown to black from the pure white pick guard. The neck and the head were both light brown made to look like a piece of wood. It was beautiful piece of work and it kinda reminded him of the beauty he left behind. "So what are you going to name it?" asked the shop keeper, who noticed how he was looking at it.

"Name it?" asked Naruto with a raised eyebrow. "Every great player names their guitar," the man explained. "I've got name that might work," replied the sannin.

"Really what is it?"

"Sakura."

"That's great man, well thanks for doing business with me" said the shopkeeper turning on his music.

"Yeah thanks," said Naruto as he walked out of the store. At least now Naruto did get a good deal and he did find another outlet for his emotions besides training. The way he felt now he would die from the amount of training it would take to calm him down.

He then went to his hotel to stay the night and started his training and practicing. It would take a lot of work though.

There will be a time skip after the events in this chapter for the next one. Also who else is learning how to play instruments in this story? With your review If you want can request who you want to see play. Till next time... Or maybe not. I'll probably come up with something else eventually to write about.
