A/N: My second story, it will have lower priority than Sharingan Siblings and I'm writing it mainly to writesomething else than Naruto with Sharingan. Which is cool thing, but a little overpowered. I don't own Naruto Kishi does.
Revelations
Small boy was running through Konoha and all trees and plants looked withered, like they were sad that something happened. By most people it was shrugged off as freak of nature. But by not everybody. Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen saw this happening when his teacher Senju Hashirama was sad or angry. Only one Kekkei Genkai could do that, fabled power of Senju Hashirama – Mokuton. Kekkei Genkai which was able to suppress bijuu chakra and was as strong as Uchiha Sharingan.
„Looks like young Naruto has Mokuton." He murmured and looked at his ANBU „Get me Tenzo."
Few moments later ANBU with Tora mask entered Hokage office and he was as shocked as Hokage. He too felt this change in trees and plants all over Konoha.
„Mokuton user?" simply asked ANBU and Hokage nodded
„Very strong affinity to it. Maybe even stronger than Hashirama-sensei. If he's feeling so sad that leaves and plants wither there's only one person." Replied Hokage and looked at his ANBU whose eyes widened.
„You don't mean Uzumaki Naruto?" quietly asked Tora
„Yes. Only he can be so sad to cause plants to wither. I will find him and we will meet him. You will be his teacher till he graduate, later you will split his time with his jonin sensei." Said Hokage and took out his all seeing orb. He placed his hand on orb and channeled some chakra to locate Naruto. Few moments later it showed small boy in tattered clothes standing near large empty compound. „He is near Senju compound. Let's go."
Meanwhile Naruto was running away from mob and finished his escape in front of Senju compound. Where he felt something familiar calling him inside, like it was his. He wasn't the most educated boy, due to being shunned and badly treated, but even he recognized trident visible over the gates. It was sign of Senju Ichizoku.
„Naruto!" shouted someone from behind him. He quickly turned around and saw Hokage with one of his ANBU.
„Yes jiji?" asked Naruto, happy that Hokage found him
„Did you learn how to channel chakra in the Academy?" asked Hokage, once he greeted Naruto
„Yes. But why you're asking?" Replied blonde boy
„Channel your chakra into this paper" said Hokage and gave him chakra sensitive paper. Naruto channeled his chakra into it and Hokage eyes widened when he saw results. It splitted into two parts which sprouted few leaves.
„Impossible. First natural Mokuton user from times of my sensei." Murmured Hokage, not believing his eyes. „You're lucky boy. You have Shodaime Hokage Kekkei Genkai Mokuton. Which means you're Senju heir."
„What?" shouted Naruto
„Yes. That's right you're descendant of one of founding clans of Konoha and I think it's time to break genjutsu placed on you." Said Hokage and placed his hand on Naruto forehead and channeled small amount of chakra into Naruto system. Thus interrupting flow of it and thus breaking illusion. When it was gone Naruto was one or two inches taller. On his forehead appeared small violet rectangle and on his face appeared same three marks that adorned Nidaime face.
„Are those Nidaime marks?" asked shocked Tora
„Yes. Naruto take a look." Said Hokage and gave boy small mirror
„What happened to my body?" shouted Naruto, when he noticed changes in body look
„We hid those features, so you could be safe during your childhood, at least from kidnapping or assassins." Calmly said Hokage „Tora I want you to train Naruto during those four years that he has before graduation. I feel that in Senju compound you will find a lot of useful things. Naruto you won't need to be in Academy until last year of it, but instead Tora will prepare you for life of Shinobi. I will also teach you ways of politics and diplomacy. Honestly speaking you're my best choice as my successor. You're unpolished gem right now, that needs to be molded and polished." Quietly said Hokage, while pushing open doors to Senju compound
„Cool. Thanks Jiji" Said Naruto, while walking behind Hokage and into Senju compound. „This is all mine?" he quietly asked
„Yes. I will get all paperwork done today. So you can move here. Tomorrow you will start your training with Tenzo." Hokage looked at ANBU „Take off your mask."
„Hai" Replied Tora/Tenzo and removed him mask „Naruto, I will be here in the morning. Now you have time to explore compound." After he finished that Tenzo disappeared and left Naruto with Hokage.
„It looks amazing" Said Naruto in voice full of awe. Compound was big and full of plans and trees, which reacted weirdly to his chakra. They started blossom immediately and grow. „What's going on?" he asked pointing at plants that suddenly blossomed
„Your chakra Naruto-kun did all of this. My sensei Shodaime Hokage caused same reaction wherever he went. I remember that when I mastered first jutsu that he taught me Doton – Doryuheki (Earth Wall), he was so happy that whole Konoha looked like garden for next few weeks." Said Hiruzen and looked at Naruto, who looked happy and that explained why those trees behaved so weirdly.
„What's that?" asked Naruto pointing to doors that were in front of them and were locked with blood seal
„Hmm, there was Tobirama, or Hashirama study or maybe one of libraries. Cut your finger and press blood against lock." Told him Hokage and doors unlocked almost immediately after contact with Naruto chakra.
„How? Why? When?" asked stunned Naruto, shocked by doors opening after contact with your blood
„Blood seal. You're descendant of Senju Tobirama so I'm not shocked by it. Let's see what's inside" Replied Hiruzen and gently pressed doors which revealed big circular room. Completely made out different types of wood, walls were made out of darker shades of wood with honeycomb structure full of scrolls in it. Floor was made out of polished light wood with twenty beams made out of darker one coming from middle of room, where was large sculptured pillar of wood with giant scroll inside and smaller one to the left. Bigger one had Senju trident and Uchiha fan placed on it. Roof was made out of darker wood, but with twenty distinctive beams made out of light, almost white wood, coming from central pillar. On the other side of room, opposite to the doors was armor stand with blue plate armor with fur collar, happuri was laying on small cushion besides it and small scroll was laying on another one.
„It's Senju brothers library. Brothers known to you as Shodai and Nidaime Hokage. That armor and happuri in the back of the room belonged to my sensei Nidaime. But that huge scroll in this pillar is Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara jutsu scroll. It was part of agreement between them during creation of Konoha to share their jutsu and clan ones between them, so they created scroll and gave one copy to Uchiha and second to Senju. Smaller one is Senju Hashirama Mokuton jutsu and other personal jutsu." Said Hokage and Naruto eyes widened. He carefully approached happuri of Nidaime and lifted it from cushion on which it was laying. It felt right in his hands, like it was part of him and now it was returning to proper owner.
„I don't know why and how, but it feels right in my hands." Quietly said Naruto once he lifted it
„You're his heir, so I'm not shocked. Explore compound on your own. I need to get back and finish paperwork for today. On weekends I will teach you ways of diplomacy, etiquette and politics. So you will be prepared for being announced as my heir. Do not tell about it, I don't want more headaches right now." Hokage said and ruffled Naruto hairs.
When Tenzo returned on next day he was surprised to find Naruto reading scroll that he found in Senju library. He never thought to see this child so focused and quiet. He always was giant yellow ball of energy.
„Hey Naruto" he said loud enough for him to hear and get his attention
„Hey Tenzo-sensei" Replied Naruto and put scroll on ground to his right.
„I will mostly train you in all aspects of shinobi arts, but for that we need some basics to work upon. So first thing I will teach you one of clone jutsu, that's designed for your chakra capacity. It's Kage Bunshin and you only need one handseal, which looks like this." Said Tenzo and put his hands in cross like form. „Normally it's taught to jonin and some chunin, but because of your chakra reserves which are one of biggest in the village it will help us greatly."
„How it can help us? I'm miserable with Bunshin, I never could perform it properly." Moaned Naruto
„You have too much chakra and too little control for such jutsu. It's Academy jutsu for a reason, it requires almost no chakra, so most of people with big amount of it have troubles with it." Answered Yamato „Kage Bunshin is jonin level for a reason, it requires much more chakra, so you won't have any problems. Now make one and tell it to go with my clone." Ordered Yamato and made clone which took Naruto clone to distant tree. It whispered something into it's ear and punched it, thus dispelling.
„That hurt." Murmured Naruto and his eyes widened „Oryginal body learns everything that clone learn." He said way louder
„Yes. That's the whole advantage of it. It can learn only memories, so you can't use it for physical training, but you can use it for taijustu training. Since muscle memory is just memory. Now make around hundred clones and we will start." Told him Yamato and waited for clones, once they were done he started second part of his explanation „Naruto you have monstrous chakra reserves and they will get only bigger. So you need to master chakra control, Senju clan had good control, but even it won't be good without training. First thing is tree walking or as I like to call it tree climbing without hands. You use chakra to stick to its surface. Too little and you won't stick and too much you will be thrown back. Order sixty to work on it and after twenty minutes start dispelling them in tens, make five minutes delay between doing that. Order twenty to do same thing, but on water, it's harder because you need to constantly fine tune strength of pulses. Dispel them them in pairs after twenty minutes. Do that with ten minutes intervals, last ten will go with my clone and start working on taijustu, while you will go shopping with me." Said Tenzo and clones nodded and went to do what they were ordered to.
„You know that I'm kicked out of almost all stores?" quietly asked Naruto
„Yes. That's a reason why I'm coming with you. Before you couldn't use certain shops, but since I'm with you owners won't care and once I mention your heritage they will or at least should be friendly. But you also changed a lot, those three Nidaime marks and that seal on your forehead." Said Yamato and motioned for Naruto to follow him.
They left the compound and outside of it was shinobi district and clan compounds, excluding Aburame and Inuzuka which had them close to walls and forests outside of village. To the left was road leading to Hokage tower, Academy and some training fields that were used by shinobi and Academy students. But main and biggest training fields were outside of Konoha walls and near walls, so shinobi training couldn't interfere with normal activities.
However they turned right and went towards market district, to be exact part of it tending to needs of shinobi and clans. They were selling best equipment and supplies, also owners usually were retired shinobi or clan members. So they knew what ninja needed and knew what was best for them, quality to price ratio was also quite good. Of course it wasn't cheap weapon, but considering that most of things were crafted or manufactured out of finest quality chakra metal, steel, wood and cloth it was rather reasonable. There was also good chance to find some unique weapons or artifacts belonging to legendary shinobi from past.
„Naruto I understand that you love orange, but for shinobi it's bad color. It's usual bright, flashy and hard to conceal, better is even red which is at least darker and can be mistaken for blood or some leaves. So first thing is change of your outfit. Best place would be here, along with weapons. Higurashi Ninja Stores." Said Yamato and pointed to large store it front of them.
„Is it only me or people are looking at me differently?" quietly asked Naruto, after he noticed glares from people. They weren't filled with hate, most of them were just curiosity and interest.
„They're looking differently. After all it's shinobi part of village and shinobi usual don't have prejudices against comrades, they can kill you on battlefield." Replied Yamato and they entered shop which was full of weapons, ninja clothes, supplies and other necessary things for ninja.
„Yamato-san" Greeted them rather bulky and high man standing behind counter. He had brown hairs and blue friendly eyes, but there was also hint of steel in them. That suggested that he was shinobi in his past „And who is that boy?"
„Higurashi-san how would you react that heir to Senju was found." Quietly asked Yamato and Higurashi eyes widened a little. Especially after he took a longer look at Naruto. Same shape of face, same regal grace, same marks as Nidaime, similar body shape. But also that seal on his forehead was sign of him belonging to Senju, only they have chakra control and capacity to pull that off at this age.
„So how can I help?" asked after a while owner of shop
„Full change of outfit for him. Propably one that will be used under Senju armor, hand guards made out of chakra conductive metal, few hundred chakra metal shuriken and kunai and dozens of training ones. Five sets of Fuma shuriken, dozen meters of ninja wire and I think that's all." Finished Yamato and Naruto eyes widened. That was going to be his, it was also top quality one, chakra metal was expensive and that numbers normally would depleted almost any purse.
„Wow. Just wow. Only weapons will be costing you around five hundred ryo per piece. So only shuriken and kunai will cost you around five hundred thousand ryo for five hundred of each. Training ones are cheap so only around fifty thousand for them. Fuma shuriken around fifty thousand for set and you want five, so another two hundred and fifty thousand, ninja wire another ten thousand. Hard guards another one hundred thousand. That's only weapons and hand guards. Who is funding this? Last time I remember similar order when ANBU was refreshing their armory. But anyways nine hundred and ten thousand for weapons and hand guards. For clothes Naruto come with me." Finished Higurashi and motioned Naruto to follow him
„Senju clan is paying for this, you know that their treasury wasn't used in twenty or thirty years and was only growing. And he as heir of clan can spent it when needed." Replied Yamato just before Naruto and Higurashi disappeared in other part of shop.
„So you want to use plate armor?" he asked Naruto
„Yes Higurashi-san" Replied boy and looked around
„Don't use Higurashi-san. I think you will be frequent customer so feel free to use my name Takeshi." Said now named Higurashi Takeshi
„Okay. But why it matters if I want to use plate armor?" asked Naruto
„Because clothes that are used with plate armor are different than normal ones. They're thicker and made from different, harder and lighter materials. Also mesh armor worn under it is thicker and tightly woven. Along with that there is difference in placement of clan symbols." Explained Higurashi and motioned Naruto to follow him into part of store with ANBU clothes. „Your clan colors were dull red, black and deep, dark blue. So I think those ones will be best." He said pointing to large stash of dark blue t-shirts with Senju sign on them. Two were on end of short sleeves, while third one was on back of shirt, there were also laying black sweatpants with blue additions.
„Yes. So ten of those and maybe ten or twenty of black ones as well?" suggested Naruto
„Why not. Now about mesh armor. Normally it's loosely woven, but that one won't work in this case. You will need one designed for ANBU usage, it's tightly woven and durable, it also has space for inserting additional pieces of armor." Said Higurashi once he grabbed those pieces mentioned before and walked with Naruto toward area where was only armor and various pieces of it. „Last but not least hand guards. I would opt for full length one with gloves. While half ones aren't bad you need to be careful with them. Try those" he said and gave Naruto ones with Senju sign on them
„Not bad. I like them" Replied Naruto once he tried them, they fit him and looked nice. Also gloves that were with them covered his hand and gave additional protection, but didn't limit range of his movements, they almost felt like second layer of skin.
„Good. I think that's all that you need for now. So head back and see what Yamato found, while we were rummaging here." Said Higurashi and guided Naruto to place from which they started.
„So Naruto did you find everything?" asked Yamato, once he saw them emerging from clothing section
„Yes" Naruto nodded and walked to Yamato
„Overall. It will cost you a lot. Something like million and two hundred thousand ryo." Replied Takeshi and waited for Yamato to pay for it „It's pleasure doing business with you."
„Yeah. But paying so much money isn't funny" grunted Yamato and walked out of shop with Naruto. Senju were rich clan and owned a lot of land in Konoha and Hi no Kuni, but even their treasures had some bottom.
„Any more shopping needs to be done?" asked him Naruto once they were yet again on the street.
„No. For now that's all. All necessary books should be in Senju library and if they're missing there's always Hokage one." Replied jonin.
They returned to compound where most of clones finished dispelling and only few remained, but first they stopped for small lunch in one of restaurants in shinobi district But even those clones that remained were running only on fumes of chakra and we're going to dispel on their own in next few minutes.
„Change into those new clothes, dispel clones and be back here in let's say twenty minutes." Said Yamato and started thinking. „Weapon handling or taijustu katas. Or both. Why not both, he has enough chakra for another few hundred clones, so two hundred will try water walking, another two tree climbing and fifty on taijustu katas. While original one will work with me on weapon handling."
Yamato didn't have a chance to finish thinking, before he heard footsteps on porch leading to place were he was sitting. Out of compound emerged completely changed Naruto he now sported black sweatpants, tied around his ankles by white bandages, from under which were visible traces of mesh armor. On his torso was blue t-shirt with Senju clan signs and under it was visible mesh armor and on his hands were hand guards and gloves.
„You look good. Almost like shinobi. If I didn't know you before, I would say that you're completely new person." Carefully said Yamato
„Thanks sensei. So what do we do now?" asked him Naruto who was once again full of energy.
„Make four hundred and fifty clones. Two hundred will work on water walking, two hundred on tree walking, while fifty will go with my clone to train taijustu." Said Yamato before he made clone on his own and took fifty clones with him.
„What do you want to do with me?" asked original one, when they were alone
„Weapon handling. I don't trust Academy to teach anything properly from time when civilians took it over. So I will show it for you from beginning, with addition of few things that I learned in ANBU." Said Yamato and gave Naruto few kunai
„They feel good. Those in Academy were much heavier and not so well balance. They felt wrong." Said Naruto once he took them and held them in his hand.
„What do you mean by wrong?" asked him Yamato and signaled for hidden ANBU to get closer. They were quietly searching for evidence that Academy was trying to teach him wrong and giving him faulty weapon could be example of it. He already noticed several mistakes in taijustu katas that Naruto performed and it could only be cause by intentional actions on teachers behalf. And his clone was busy fixing them.
„They felt like they weren't balanced at all. They were either too heavy or too light and from what I know all of them should be around same mass." Replied Naruto and Yamato eyes widened slightly. „I will need to talk with Hokage about it. That's nice piece of evidence, one night I might exchange whole Academy stash of kunai for normal ones and give them to few friends in ANBU to check them. When they will have troubles handling them it means that they're faulty." He thought, while same thought were running through head of ANBU that was watching over them.
„Yes. They should be around same mass. Try those that you have in your hand. Aim for my kunai" Said Yamato before throwing his kunai into bark of tree that was around ten meters from them.
Naruto followed suit and those five that he had in hand struck home in various distance from tree. Two of them landed almost on top of Yamato kunai, while rest flew wild.
„I never saw that bad aim. I guess we need to throw everything that Academy taught you out of window. And start from very beginning." Murmured Yamato. „Okay. I saw few minor flaws and one major. Never throw when inhaling, do that when exhaling." He added loudly
„In the Academy they taught us to do that when inhaling." Said Naruto and Yamato eyes widened even more. That was rather clear example of what they were searching for and Hokage wasn't generous when someone attacked his family or did something wrong to them.
„They were wrong. When doing that when inhaling you slightly change path of flight, while doing it when exhaling you give it slightly more force. Try it again." Said Yamato and Naruto took five more kunai and throw them. This time they were much closer to kunai that Yamato used to mark middle of target.
„That's better. Way better in fact. There are some minor flaws, but they should correct on their own. Try same thing with shuriken." Told him Yamato. Naruto took ten shuriken and throw them at the target, one after another. They ended up close to desired middle of target.
„I don't believe it. I always had problems with throwing at Academy." Said Naruto and shook his head few times. He looked happier than before, everything started going better than in Academy and sensei was friendly and focused on him.
„Well. Maybe you were just badly taught, why it might happen Hokage will explain to you. Now I think it's time for you to learn first elemental jutsu and elemental manipulation. For elemental manipulation make hundred clones and tell fifty to soak leaf using only chakra and other fifty to make it crumble." Told Yamato and clones went to work on it, while original one was left with Yamato.
„I remember that in Academy they told us that there are few natures and each is weaker against one and stronger against other." Said Naruto
„That's right." Said Yamato and quickly draw diagram that showed it. Katon(Fire) was weak against Suiton(Water), but strong against Fuuton(Wind). Fuuton was weak against Katon, but strong against Raiton(Lightning). Raiton was weak against Fuuton, but strong against Doton(Earth). Which is weak against Raiton, but strong against Suiton. Last but not least Suiton is weak against Doton, but strong against Katon. „There are also Kekkei Genkai and other bloodlines. For you important to know is that Mokuton that you have is created by mixing Doton and Suiton chakra. It's good to learn what are other Kekkei Genkai and how they look, so you know how to fight against them. But for now you don't need it."
„Why those exercises that my clones are doing are so important?" asked Naruto
„Because they're helping you with control of your chakra and we won't start Mokuton till you master Doton and Suiton. For next two weeks your clones will work on chakra control and nature manipulation. While second group will work on throwing speed, accuracy, taijustu katas and any weapon/weapons you want to master. Your original will work with me on physical training, chakra theory, trap building and other miscellaneous things." Said Yamato
„I think I like it." Replied Naruto
„Good. You will do that during weeks. Weekends are for you to relax and do what you want." Finished Yamato and they continue to work on basics for few more hours. They didn't even notice flow of time and it was already evening, so Yamato bid farewell and Naruto dragged himself to one of bedrooms inside compound.
-Time Skip-
Weekend
„Naruto-kun how are you?" asked Hokage once he entered Senju compound
„Jiji! I'm quite good" Replied Naruto, who emerged from one of rooms in his new outfitted, which shocked Hokage. He could never imagine Naruto wearing something else that his obnoxious orange kill me jumpsuit. But somehow Yamato convinced him to change it and with this one he looked like a shinobi. He also reminded him Senju Tobirama, he almost looked like him, only his eyes and hairs were different. Tobirama was albino and as such he had red eyes and white hairs.
„What did Yamato to you that you changed outfit?" asked Hiruzen
„I realized that I need to grow up. That orange is anything, but not ninja suited. Also it would look silly with that armor." He relied
„Good. I thought that you would like to use Tobirama-sensei armor. Now follow me to one of rooms that you propably didn't see yet." Said Hokage and disappeared with Naruto in maze of corridors inside of compound. When they emerged from it they stood in front of large brightly lit room with various maps pinned to walls and multiple scrolls laying on shelves. On floor of the room was large plush beige carpet with Uchiha fan, Uzumaki swirl and Senju trident around Konoha symbol. Leaf.
„What was here? I feel calm and my mind is focused here." Asked Naruto, while looking around
„Senju Hashirama study and first Hokage office. I intentionally took you here. So I can explain to you basic world diplomacy and your heritage. Full heritage. I also know that there will be no moles here." Said Hokage and sat on one of comfortable couches that were around the room placed in twos and three. „What do you want to learn first? World diplomacy or your full heritage?"
„My full heritage." Replied Naruto, while he was looking around. He already liked this room. He felt like there was some sort of barrier around it, keyed to specific type of blood, so only chosen people could enter it. „I need to ask Jiji about those barriers. I could sense few of them around compound and one that is around whole building." He thought
„About your heritage. Your mother was Red Hot Blooded Habanero or Red Death, depends on who you ask. Uzumaki Kushina, last from Uzumaki clan from Uzushiogakure. She died on day of your birth after Kyubi was ripped from her. Your father was Namikaze Minato Yondaime Hokage, better known as Kiiroi Senko. Who was grandson of Senju Tobirama. We kept your heritage as secret so you could have relatively safe childhood. At least without assasins and kidnapping attempt on daily basis." Finished Hokage and Naruto on one hand was angry, yet on another was happy that he was descendant of such noble clans.
„You said that Kyubi was ripped from my mother. And I read some scrolls in library here and there was mentioned term jinchuuriki. So that means that my mother was jinchuuriki?" quietly asked Naruto and Hokage only nodded.
„I'm no master in fuinjutsu, but when woman is giving birth to child seal is greatly weakened and demon can be easily ripped from it, killing his host in the process. I wonder if you can guess previous jinchuuriki and current one." Explained Hokage and looked at Naruto, his expression sad and somber.
„From what I read previous one was Senju Mito, wife of Shodai Hokage. While current one I would say that I am. Those all insults, calling me demon child, accusing me of deaths caused by Kyubi etc. Suggest only me." Quietly said Naruto and looked at Hokage anger visible in his voice.
„Yes. Your father wanted you to be called hero, but I failed him. I created law banning older population from talking about Kyubi to younger, so you could have happy childhood, but I yet again failed. Your father was man of honor and he could only use his son as jinchuuriki. He believed that if he can't sacrifice his own son, he couldn't ask anybody to sacrifice their." Explained to him Hokage in soothing voice, trying to calm down Naruto
„I understand that. But I'm not happy with it. I was insulted, killed multiple times, scolded for no reason, kicked out of classes, treated like trash my whole life." Said Naruto, some anger visible in his voice. But not as much as before, he managed to calm himself down.
„I understand that. If you want you may tell about it your trusted people. But be careful with who you want to tell it. It may strengthen your bonds with that person, or destroy them completely." Warned him Hokage and took out small box from his robes „Those are things that your parents wanted to give you."
„Thank you Jiji" managed to whisper Naruto while he carefully opened box that he received from Hokage. Inside of it were six scrolls and one kunai. But it wasn't normal one it was one of famous Hiraishin kunai that made Yondaime famous. After he saw it his eyes widened visibly. He took out scrolls and placed them on table that was standing near couch. His put kunai besides scrolls and let it stay there
„Those two are jutsu scrolls" Said Hokage pointing to two bigger ones with red lines. „That one is storage scroll." He added pointing to middle sized one with black line running through middle of it and red ones alongside. „Last three are will and letters from your parents." He finished and pointed to three thin scrolls „But I can't understand why he would give you one of his Hiraishin kunai, unless he wants you to learn his jutsu." Added after a while
„I think I will read letter from them when I will be alone and my mind will be clear" Said Naruto before taking three thinnest scrolls and hiding them in one of pockets. After that he opened storage scroll and looked at Hokage unsure what to do.
„Channel small amount of chakra into it. That's storage scroll and that thing before your eyes is sealing matrix. They generally require some chakra and in some cases blood to open. In this case chakra will be enough." Explained Hokage and Naruto nodded and did that. When he did that there was small poof of smoke and on top of it were laying two swords. Katana was finely crafted with blade reinforced by many seals and image of lunging dragon was etched on it's blade. Guard of it was in form of open golden dragon mouth, from which blade emerged. Handle was made out of black wood in which diamond were encrusted and was covered by red silk ribbon. Scabbard was made out of dark wood, with steel reinforcements and Uzumaki swirl etched in it. Second sword was of the same design, but it's blade was almost black, instead of normal steel gray.
„Impossible" Murmured Hokage when he saw those swords and looked at Naruto. „Do you recognize them? You may read about them in scrolls about Shodai wars and alliance between Senju and Uzumaki."
„Are those blades of Shodai Uzukage?" quietly asked Naruto
„Yes. They ended up in possession of your mother right before she left Uzushiogakure and she carried them to Konoha." Explained Hokage and looked at Naruto, who just nodded.
„I always wanted to learn bojutsu, along with kenjutsu. I read that Saru summoning contract was one used by Shodai Hokage. Do you know who is current wielder of it?" asked Naruto, with his classic puppy eyes. That worked on almost everybody.
„I happen to know that. In fact I'm sole owner of it and we may see if they will accept you as summoner." Said Hokage with thin smile visible on his face and ran through seals for some jutsu and shouted „Kuchiyose no Jutsu" there was large poof of smoke and in middle of room was standing large ape.
„Why did you summon me, Hiruzen?" asked that monkey „There are no enemies here"
„There are no, but I want to ask you if you would accept another summoner?" asked him Hiruzen
„Jiji, maybe some introductions first" interrupted them Naruto
„Ah, yes. Sorry about that Naruto-kun. That monkey is Monkey King Enma, he fought alongside your great grand uncle Senju Hashirama. Enma that boy that's sitting there is great grand nephew of your first summoner. His name is Senju Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto." Said Hiruzen and monkey took a long and careful look at Naruto
„I like him." Enma said and snapped his fingers and in front of him appeared giant scroll. Which was carefully unrolled by him. When he was done, he looked at Naruto and motioned for him to walk to it. „Sign your name with blood. Once you do that ran through seals Boar → Dog → Bird → Monkey → Ram and say Kuchiyose no Jutsu(Summoning)" Explained monkey.
Naruto kneeled, cut his finger and wrote his name in one of empty fields. Right besides Sarutobi Hiruzen, before Sarutobi Hiruzen were names of dozen Senju members and first one was Senju Hashirama.
„I, Inu, Tori, Saru, Hitsuji, Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" shouted Naruto and there was small poof of smoke. In front of him stood small monkey with golden fur and Konoha hitai-ate.
„Not bad. You summoned one of messengers." Said Hiruzen and motioned for that monkey to return to it's homeland, same with Enma.
„What about diplomacy and international politics?" asked Naruto, once they were once again alone.
„Ah, yes. I choose this room for today because it's perfect place to teach about it. There are maps and other necessary things." Said Hiruzen and motioned Naruto to follow him, when they were in front of large wall mounted map. He straightened a little and looked at Naruto. „Do you remember so called Great Five?" he asked him. That was one of basic things learned in Academy during first year.
„Kiri, Kumo, Iwa, Suna, Konoha" Replied Naruto and Hokage nodded
„That's correct. Only leader of those five can use Kage title. We are allies with Suna, we are neutral with Kiri. We are disliked by Kumo and hated by Iwa. That's mostly effect of last war. They got beaten so badly by your father that they hate him and anybody with blonde hairs." Said Hokage, slightly chuckling at the last part
„What? That's crazy." Murmured shocked Naruto and looked carefully at map and noticed more symbols. That weren't mentioned in the Academy at least on classes on which he was present. „What are those?" he asked pointing to symbol that looked like two halves of arrow pointing downwards.
„That one?" Hokage asked just to be sure and play a little with Naruto, who only nodded. „That's one of smaller villages, to be exact Taki. I thought that you were taught about them in Academy." He added with small frown.
„I wasn't present during that class." Said Naruto and Hokage nodded
„Okay. There are multiple smaller villages, but ones that are important in our world are Taki, Kusa and Ame. Ame because of their leader that lead them from beginning of Second War till now called Sanshōuo no Hanzō(Hanzo the Salamander). He managed to beat all of my students and he gave them Sannin title. Kusa because of location and jutsu collection. Taki because of Hero Water, drug that gave person that took it enormous amounts of chakra at the cost of his health and eventually life. There is also other factor taken into account when considering world diplomacy, if you stumbled onto jinchuuriki in scrolls. You should also find this one." Finished Hokage and looked at Naruto, who simple nodded
„Jinchuuriki?" he asked
„Yes. We have Kyubi, Suna has Ichibi, Kiri has Sanbi and Rokubi, Iwa Gobi and Yonbi, Kumo Nibi and Hachibi and finally Taki has Nanabi. They were distributed by Senju Hashirama to keep balance of power between villages." Said Hokage and Naruto nodded „I think for today that's enough. If you can for next week read those scrolls" added Hokage and gave Naruto few scrolls „They are about our village, who is in power, who has what rights and who is responsible for what. About Bojutsu and Kenjutsu I will try to arrange some teachers for you. Tenzo might teach you basics of kenjutsu, all ANBU know how to use swords."
Once Hokage left the compound Naruto went to his bedroom, which was located on second level of compound with beautiful view of Konoha and Hokage monument, it also had huge balcony. It was big room with plush carpet covering most of floor. In middle of it was black Senju trident, in light wood walls were multiple honeycomb style holes to store scrolls. There were also few closets and wardrobes to store clothes and other things. He also had weapon stand in the corner where he placed his new swords and where were his kunai and shuriken.
Naruto jumped onto his bed and opened letters from his mother and father.
„Dear Naruto-chan. If you're reading this it means that I died right after your birth. I want to say that I will be proud of you and I hope that you manage to grow into strong, yet caring man. We prepared for your birth and in this letters are few seals with useful scrolls for you. Training regime for you once you're old enough to use it. My fuinjutsu books and notes if you decide to study it. Your godparents are Jiraiya of Sannin and Inuzuka Tsume. If you want something from them show them this letter. They will help you in whatever you will need.
Namikaze née Uzumaki Kushina
Your loving mother
When Naruto finished reading scroll in corner of his eyes started gathering tears. For whole life he thought that he was orphan and now he learned that he had godparents and family. Family was dead but nonetheless he had some memoirs of them. After he finished reading it, he took closer look at the end of scroll where he spotted few storage seals. He needed to check them later.
„Dear Naruto-kun. If you're reading it, it means that I failed to protect you and Kushina-chan. I wrote it in case that during your birth something went wrong. Hiruzen was asked by me to give this letter only when you were 16 or your dormant Kekkei Genkai was awaken. I wanted to say that I'm sorry for sealing Kyubi inside of you, but I knew that we will need his power in the future. I left some notes on my jutsu in hidden storage seals at the bottom of scroll. There is also my personal jutsu library, if you received keys to Senju compound just add it to their library. If not use storage scroll. If you will need help with training or anything ask Hatake Kakashi. Silver hair, slanted hitai-ate over Sharingan, lover part of face covered by mask, always lazy, ANBU Codename Inu. He was one of my students. He knew that I wrote this letter. There is also something that he will recognize hidden in another storage seal at the bottom of it. When he will be questioning you unseal it and give it to him. He will recognize it without problems.
Namikaze Minato, Yondaime Hokage
Your loving father
After Naruto finished reading both letters his eyes were full of tears, after he finished only his mother letter he was ready to burst into crying. But now he was openly crying, but it was caused by happiness, not by pain like it was previously. He had family and some connections with his parents and people that could help him.
