Well here's the next chapter. I said it would be about two weeks and it has been two weeks.
I'd like to say this so I don't get sued and have to run from the law because I can't pay for the fins.
I do not own Naruto at all. Never have never will! But I do own this story!
Without further ado, please enjoy the chapter!
Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto
A True Prodigy Is Running Around Konoha
"Asuma-san, today is the day I go to the academy right?" That was the question that Namikaze Naruto asked as he ate his breakfast. He was talking to Sarutobi Asuma, the 3rd's son. He was a Jounin of good height, 6 feet 3 inches. He had blue shinobi pants, blue saddles, and a green Jounin vest with the 6 pockets for scrolls on the front. He had black hair that spiked upwards but not too high. He also had side burns that went all the way to his chin were his beard was. He had brown eyes with the standard head band tied around his forehead with the leaf symbol on it. He also had a cigarette in his mouth. That was his trade mark, that cancer stick of a habit of his; he always had one with him or in his mouth.
"Yes Naruto, you go to the academy today. You've been asking for the last week already. Jeez." The cigarette smoking Jounin said.
"Well, I'm just excited, that's all. Come on it's my first day after all. I'm finally going to be a ninja!" He was so happy. Finally he could be strong like his dad was.
"Yes, I know. You know, you're pretty lucky squirt. Most of the time they don't just let a five year old into the academy. Usually you have to be six to get in. But I guess they made an exception for you."
"Ya, a lot of people do that because of who my father was. But that will stop some day. I don't just want to be known as my dad's kid. I want people to know me because of my accomplishments." He pouted. Everyone always gave him special treatment because of who his parents were.
"Well kid I hope you accomplish that goal of yours. But you better start to get a move on. Remember you're younger than the other kids right now, so they might be stronger than you are. Also if you don't go pretty quickly you might not make it in time." He had to smirk at the kid now. After a second he looked at the clock, jumped out of his chair and rushed out the door barely even saying goodbye.
Now outside of the Sarutobi compound, we find our five year old jogging to the academy for his first day of school. All the way there people smiled, waved, and greeted him. They always gave him nice smiles. 'I guess that's the perks of your dad being the 4th Hokage.' He thought to himself. When he finally made it to the academy he asked where the room for his class would be. They told him which room it would be in and saw him off with another smile. He walked in to the classroom and everyone stared at him, he got that often. He just shrugged and walked up the stairs to the last row and took a seat in the middle. He sat there waiting for about 10 minutes until the teacher came in and asked for it to quite down. After about a minute of people still talking the teacher had a vein pop out on his forehead and then screamed at the class.
"QUIET!! SIT DOWN IN YOUR SEATS!!!" While he screamed, his head somehow blew up and became red. He looked like a very scary man when angry. 'Heeemmm must be some kind of jutsu.' Naruto thought.
"That's better. Now that everyone is quiet we can start class. For the next six years you will be attending the academy to learn how to be ninja. My name is Umino Iruka, I am a Chunnin and you can call me Iruka-sensei. Now for roll call…"
He took roll call alphabetically and when he got to the K's he said…
"Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto" At the name Namikaze many turned their heads towards the student that said here. It would be a lie to say that everyone in Konoha didn't know about the last Namikaze left. There were many whispers going around that soon turned into full blown talking. Again that vein appeared on Iruka's head.
"QUIET DOWN!" That got them to shut up. "Better, now Sito Iwate…" And so on and so on. After role call Iruka explained that by the end of the 6 years in the academy they would know a lot about the shinobi nations, history of Konoha, all about chakra, at least three jutsu, and of course how to be a proper shinobi. To pass the academy you had to have good grades and be able to perform those three jutsu with good results.
8 Months Later…
Iruka-sensei had just walked in and everyone sat down and sat there quietly. After the first couple dozen times the students learned not to get the 'evil big headed no jutsu' so they wisely shut up when he entered. Iruka saw this and couldn't help but smirk. They were so easy to control right now.
"O.K. class, thanks for being quiet. Roll call time." He went through role call just like normal.
"Today is a very special day. Someone in this class will be given the graduation test really early. He or she has shown great promise and is years ahead of everyone else. In fact, the youngest to ever graduate the academy was Uchiha Itachi at a record of 6 and half years old. Today someone might break that record." The class broke out in gossip about who could possibly be that good in class. They didn't have to wait long before the answer was given in the form of a name.
"Will Namikaze Naruto please come with me to another room so you may take the paper test first." Iruka exclaimed with a smile on his face.
"Me….?" Naruto was dumbfounded. He knew he was stronger than anyone else in class but to be good enough to be a genin he didn't know about that. Luckily for him Iruka-sensei saw this look.
"Now Naruto, I know you and your fellow classmates might be wondering how you could be so advanced. Well it shows on your test scores and your performance of taijutsu. (Hand to hand combat) You see I've compared your scores with others from last year's graduation exams and your answers are on their level if not better than theirs. Your taijutsu according to me and 3 other teachers is on par with a genin and your strength and speed are too. Overall the teachers believe you are ready to be a genin. So please follow me to the examination room." With that said, Iruka went out the door with Naruto following. Iruka returned five minutes later to continue his lessons for the others.
Forty minutes later Naruto came back into the classroom with his paper and handed it to Iruka. He looked it over and smiled.
"Congratulations Naruto. You passed the written exam with 100 percent. Great job." Naruto beamed. He seriously thought that the test would have been harder. But surprisingly it wasn't as difficult as he thought.
"Now class, I'll leave this up to you. Do you want to come watch Naruto perform the other tests to graduate? If you don't, I can get another teacher to test him. What do you say?" He really wanted to be the one to test out Naruto but if the class didn't want to he had to stay. Luckily for him everyone wanted to see what he could do so they all headed out side for the next test. When they got out into the practice field he turned to Naruto.
"O.K. Naruto usually we don't do this test for graduation but since we don't have a good record of your abilities to throw kunai and shuriken we need to test them. So you are going to throw these ten shuriken at those dummies and the then ten kunai at the other dummies. Try to hit the bulls-eye."
Naruto went and grabbed the aforementioned weapons and stepped up to the line. He put all but two kunai into his pockets, the other two he held in each hand. He took aim and then let them fly. They soared through the air and hit the dummies dead center in the bulls-eye. He repeated this for the other eight kunai and ten shuriken. They all hit the bulls-eye dead center. He turned around with a sheepish grin on his face. Iruka smiled back but his other classmates had to pick up their mouths from the floors. They couldn't believe what they saw. This kid that was a year younger than anyone in the class and was doing great on the test. They couldn't believe their eyes.
"Well done Naruto, perfect again. O.K. now for the final test. Usually there is one more and that is your taijutsu skills. But since you have had four teachers approval you don't have to take that one, so onto the final test. I want you to perform the Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique) for me first. You need to make at least three bunshin or you fail. Whenever you're ready."
Naruto took a step forward but in front of everyone he was feeling really nervous. He took a big breath in to calm his nerves and prepared to mold his chakra. He performed the ram seal and ten poufs' of smoke happened beside him. When the smoke cleared there stood eleven Narutos. One was the real one and the other ten, illusions created by the technique. Once again the student had to pick their jaws off the ground and even Iruka joined them this time.
"W...Well you surprised me again Naruto. You pass that one perfectly with flying colors. You even made seven more clones than you needed to."
"Now please perform the Kawarimi no jutsu (Body Replacement) for the second part."
Naruto did just that. Going through some seals and then switching places with a log that was in the training grounds. It went off without a hitch.
"Well done again, Naruto. You pass that part too. Now for the final jutsu, please perform the Henge no jutsu (Transformation) and turn into an exact copy of me please."
Naruto complied. He stood in front of the class and put his hands in the ram seal again and said henge. There was a puff of smoke and when the cloud disappeared there stood an exact copy of Iruka.
"Well done Naruto. Perfect again. You can drop the jutsu now."
Naruto did as his teacher told and with another audible poof and a cloud of smoke, there stood Naruto, dressed in his blue pants and white shirt.
"Well done on everything… Congratulations Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto. You pass your genin graduation exam. You are officially a ninja of Konoha!" Naruto jumped up in joy that he passed. He couldn't believe this! He was awesome!
"You are now also the official youngest genin to ever come out of Konoha Village at the age of 6 years old and two weeks. Come here Naruto so you can get your official headband." Naruto did as instructed and went over to Iruka and was handed a Konoha headband. A brand new one too. It had the Konoha leaf on it. The actual band you would use to tie around your head was blue. He wanted black but he could get that fixed later. He looked at it and then lifted it up to his forehead. He put it on and tied the back of it tight so it wouldn't come off; he was very happy right now.
"That took all of the time for today's lessons so class is dismissed." Iruka said happily.
The Next Day…
Naruto was walking to the academy for the last time. He was instructed yesterday to come back so he could meet his new sensei. People looked at him and had to look twice because of the headband that they saw. They, just like the class, couldn't believe it. Here was a kid, just 6 years old, and he made it to genin rank. He may be the 4th's kid but still, that was huge. Not even Itachi, the supposed super genius of his clan made it to genin that quick. He was six and a half when he was made a genin. They looked at him and found a little more respect for him; he must have worked really hard.
Oblivious to all the looks he was getting from everyone, Naruto just kept walking to the academy. Right now his mind was in a different place, it was on all the training he went through. It was hell to say the least. Unlocking his chakra at four years old, and then using it at five. Then mastering the basics was really hard. He also had to run constantly, do pushups, sit-ups, jumping jacks, all sorts of things, but it was all worth it in the end. 'Hmmmm, I wonder who my sensei will be?' he thought to himself as he continued his trek to the academy.
When he got there he saw Iruka waiting outside the door. That was unusual, but he shrugged and started to walk to the door when he stopped him with a hand to the shoulder.
"Naruto, follow me so I can show you were you can wait for your Jounin instructor." Iruka asked.
"Ahh…Why not just wait in the normal classroom?" It was a normal question to ask in the situation.
"Naruto, you are a genin now, they are not. They have to learn the basics still were you already have at an extremely young age. It would only be a waste of your time to go back into that room were you already know everything I'm going to teach." 'Man I hope that works. I just don't want to have to listen to the others ask a million questions and then have to yell at them to be quiet.' Iruka thought.
"Ah come on Iruka-sensei. I may be advanced but there is always stuff to know. I'm sure there's stuff you haven't taught me yet."
"No Naruto, just go wait in that room." 'Sorry Naruto, I don't want to be mean or anything I just don't want the headache today.' He thought to himself.
"Oh… alright! If you say so Iruka-sensei." He walked towards the room and went to sit down in one of the chairs to wait for his sensei to come. After about an hour of waiting, a man walked in with a familiar cigarette in his mouth.
"Asuma-san …. You're my new sensei?" In his mind he was thinking 'Dam never saw that one coming'
"Ah yes, Naruto I am your new sensei. Meet me on the roof and we shall talk there." With that, he poofed out of the room, probably to the roof.
Naruto watched him poof out of there and said, "Dam lazy sensei's and crap. I can't wait till I learn that jutsu. I'll make my own version that is way cooler than that stupid cloud of smoke!" With that notion he walked out of the classroom and up the stairs and then up to the roof where he saw his new sensei sitting on the railing waiting for him.
"Well, took you long enough Naruto. We're going to have to work on that speed of yours aren't we." He had this evil little smirk on his face. Naruto gulped. He only saw that look on Asuma-san when he was planning something. And by the way he was looking at me it was something I wouldn't like. 'CRAP. I'm so dead' He thought.
Two years later…
"Naruto, you are a special case to promote. Since you have no team you cannot participate in the Chunnin exams so we must test you another way. I have come up with a way for you to be promoted by another test. Two to be exact. One will be a normal test that all Chunnin should be able to do and another will be a fight against a Chunnin of my choosing. Do you except these terms Namikaze Naruto?"
The person that spoke was sitting behind a desk in the office of the Hokage tower. He was a wise person and had a nickname that all new, a name that could spread fear into enemies or hope to your allies. His nickname was 'The Professor.' It was none other than the 3rd Hokage, the Sandaime.
"Hai, Hokage-sama."
"Good, then your test will be in two days time. Be prepared. You are dismissed. Oh and Asuma, please stay, I want to talk to you for a minute."
"Thank you Hokage-sama." With those departing thanks Naruto walked out of the office. Asuma turned back towards his father and looked at him expectantly. Yes that's right; Asuma is the 3rd's son.
"What is it you wanted to speak to me about Hokage-sama?" He still had to be formal when in the office.
"Please, you know I don't like it when you are so formal. Just stick with Sarutobi-san or Otousan (Dad) when we are in private. Now, I wanted you to stay so we could talk about Naruto and where he is living right now. I think it is time…"
Two days later…
"O.K. Naruto here is your test. Do your best on it."
"Hai, Sensei."
And so for the next hour Naruto sat in a desk in a classroom doing his test. After the hour was done Asuma came back in and asked for the paper and saw that it was finished completely. He read over the answers and wrote something on it and then gave it back to Naruto.
Naruto looked at it and when he saw it he put on a smile. He had gotten a 95 percent on it. 'Dam I was really worried there for a second. Some of those questions were really hard. I guess I know more than I thought.'
"Well, good job Naruto. Come follow me and I will lead you to were you will fight your opponent." And so they headed out the door and down the hall and into the forest that surrounded Konoha. After about 30 minutes of walking they finally came to a training ground were there were two people. One was the Hokage and the other was unknown to Naruto.
"Ah glad you could make it Naruto. I assume that you have passed the written test." He got two nods. One from Asuma, and the other from Naruto himself.
"Very well, since you passed you will move onto the final stage of your test. This is the Chunnin you will be fighting against. He has been a chunnin for 5 months. To become a Chunnin yourself, you must defeat him in a battle. You may start whenever you two are ready."
With that statement Naruto walked over to left side of the field and the other guy went to the right side, while the Hokage and his son were on the side lines. The man opposite of Naruto slipped into a battle stance and got ready but Naruto just stood there until he asked a question.
"Before we start I would like to know your name if you don't mind." Naruto asked
The man was startled a little could only look on in dumb amusement. He thought he would just want to get the fight started right away, but none the less got out of the fighting stance and stood up and gave a bow while he gave his name. Naruto did the same.
"Well then, let's get this thing started, shall we Kenji-san?" With that they both got into a fighting stance. Kenji's stance had his left foot out in front and hands at his side with arms slightly bent. Naruto choose the basic academy taijutsu stance.
They stayed in their positions for about ten seconds before they both charged at each other and then clashed with fists. Naruto caught Kenji's right hand and the same for Kenji, but with Naruto's hand. They struggled to overpower each other but couldn't. With a push they both jumped back and started seals.
"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu" (Grand fireball) Naruto started off. The fire ball speed towards his opponent and was about to hit when he was replaced with a log. 'Dam a Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body replacement)' were is he?' Front? No, left? No, right? No, back? No, up? No, then BELOW!'
With that he jumped up, just in time to see his opponent's hands pop out of the ground and try to grab him, right where he use to be. Since it failed, he emerged completely, only to hear a shout of…
"Katon: Hosenka no Jutsu" (Phoenix Immortal Fire) He dodged as quickly as he could, but one of the fifteen fireballs that were unleashed hit him in the chest. If it wasn't for his Chunnin vest he would be badly burnt, but luckily for him, he had one on. But before he could get his bearings back, he felt some one land in front of him. He looked up just in time to see a fist come and hit him in the gut and then another hit, but this time from Naruto's leg. Suddenly, he felt another kick; it was under him, sending him upwards into the sky. He opened his eyes to see his opponent appear behind him with a…
"Kage Buyo" (Shadow of the Dancing Leaf) With that said Naruto proceeded to hit his opponent in the back once, to paralyze him temporarily, and then swung around him to the front and hit him with his first once in the stomach, cheek, and both shoulders. By the time that was done they had reached the ground and Naruto pushed off his opponent and flipped to the ground, to land on his feet rather nicely. His opponent was not so lucky; he was tossed into the ground on his back and fell hard. When the dust cleared he was lying there unconscious.
With the fight over, the two watching came over to look at the two fighters. Naruto was unscathed and his opponent was in the ground hurt pretty badly.
"Well done Naruto, you passed the second test. Come, let's get this guy to the hospital and then we can talk in my office."
"Hai Hokage-sama and thank you for the compliment." Naruto was now extremely happy. He beat his opponent and he was now going to be a Chunnin, the day couldn't get any better.
After dropping off the man at the hospital and telling the doctor that he was hurt in a sparing fight, they left to the Hokage's tower and went inside. On the way they got many greetings and people tried to start small conversations. Between the Hokage, his son, and the 4th's son they had a lot of people that greeted them. When they finally made it, they went inside and the old Hokage (he's like 64 years old) sat in his chair and then motioned for the other two to do the same.
"Well done Naruto, as of today you are an official Chunnin of Konoha. With this promotion comes some more responsibility too. You will be leading missions, you will have subordinates and their lives will be in your hands. It is up to you to be a good leader and guide them through the missions. Now here is your Chunnin vest." He handed over a vest that looked a lot like his sensei's vest, but there were slight differences in them. One was the collar was shorter and it was a lighter green. Secondly, it looked to have a little less armor in it then the Jounin vest, also the Chunnin vest was slightly more rounded. It did have similarities though; they both had 6 pockets in the front for scrolls.
Naruto accepted the vest with pride and then put it on. It was specially designed for him because he was younger than and not as big as normal Chunnin yet. After putting it on Naruto looked at the Hokage and bowed.
"Thank you Hokage-sama. You don't know how much I have wanted this." Naruto was extremely happy.
"No, no Naruto, you earned it. You worked hard to get that vest and now you have it. It was all your hard work." Sarutobi replied with a smile on.
"Thank you Hokage-sama."
"No more formalities Naruto. You know in private you can speak with me using just my name right?"
"Hai, Hoka… I mean Sarutobi-san."
"Better but still needs work. Anyways, now for the reason I wanted us in my office in the first place. You have been living in the Sarutobi mansion for 8 years now and it is time for you to move out if you wish. Your father left me instructions on when you could get your inheritance and other things that are rightfully yours. He told me that you could be given your clan house and your father's fortune when you reach Chunnin and you have now. So without further adieu, here are the keys to your new home and the bank accounts of your family." With that he handed Naruto the keys and a slip of paper that he had gotten out of a safe behind the picture of the 4th's photo.
"Now remember Naruto, if you don't want to live by yourself and wish to stay at the Sarutobi mansion, then I will let you, but if you do decide to live by yourself than you will have to cook, clean, do everything by yourself, you won't be able to depend on others. Also you will have to be responsible with all that money your parents left you." Sarutobi really didn't want him to go and live by himself, but that was Naruto's choose if he wanted to live by himself, not his own.
"Sarutobi-san, thanks, but no thank you. I'm a ninja now and have been for the last 2 years. I can take care of myself and you know as well as I do that I'm more than responsible enough to. So thanks, but no thanks; I will live in my family home." Naruto did appreciate the old man but he wanted to prove he was responsible and was capable of taking care of himself.
"Very well then. Do you know where your house is or do you need some directions?" The old man asked.
"I know where it is. It's by the Hyuuga estate, right?"
"Yes that's right. If you ever need anything come and ask me." Sarutobi said.
"You can ask me to, after all, what kind of sensei would I be if you couldn't ask for a little help from me, right?" Naruto's sensei asked.
"Ya, no problem. Thanks again guys, I'll be sure to keep in touch with ya. See ya!" With that, he teleported out of the office, with the classic Konoha shunshin, a swirl of leafs.
"He sure has grown fast hasn't he Otousan." Asuma couldn't help but feel happy and proud about how good his student was. 'After all he will probably be in the history books some day. And I will be praised as his sensei!' He thought with a small smirk/smile.
"Yes he has. And what are you smirking about over there."
"Oh nothing..." He laughed as a walked out of his father's office.
"I wonder what that was about? Oh well, none of my business." He then turned in his chair and then looked outside his window to the Hokage monument. 'Minato, Kushina, you would be so proud of your son if you were here. He is getting stronger and stronger in life and he just keeps doing it at an amazing pace. I wouldn't be surprised if he even surpasses you some day Minato, it wouldn't surprise me at all.' He thought.
Outside of the office, Naruto was walking down the streets and was getting congratulated on his new promotion. He greeted them with thanks and then continued on his way. As he passed by a stand, he caught a whiff of a great aroma that made him turn his head that way. He was a little hungry, so why not get some food? So he walked into the stand, called Ichiraku Ramen Bar. He sat down at the counter and noticed that the place was relatively empty. There were only two other people in there. When he sat down the waitress came to him and gasped.
"Namikaze-sama, how may I help you?" The waitress asked. Naruto looked at her and released a sigh. 'Why can't people just call me by my name? Why is it always Naruto-sama, Namikaze-sama? Why not just Naruto-kun, or Naruto-san? But no, always with the formalities. AAAAAAHHHHHH! I'm sick of it!' He ranted while he hung his head down.
"Umm, did I say something wrong Namikaze-sama?" She asked.
Naruto just hung his head more at this. After a few seconds and the girl trying to apologize for something she thinks she did wrong, Naruto raised his head and looked at her. She was a couple of years older than him, maybe around twelve years old or so. She had brown hair and had an apron on with a bandanna, which was white, on her head to hold her hair from going into her face.
"No, no. There is nothing to apologize for. Really! I'm just kind of sick of people calling me Namikaze-sama or something like that. They are all too formal. Please just call me Naruto-san miss…"
"Oh! My name is Ayame." The girl told him.
"Like I said, just call me Naruto-san from now on please Ayame-chan." He said with a small smile on his face.
Ayame just nodded dumbly. Here was probably the most popular and renowned guy in Konoha, and he just asked her to talk to him normally. And he added the –chan suffix to her name, which was another surprise. Chan was used when you were close friends with a girl, not when you just meet them. Oh well, she would go with it if he wanted her to.
"Alright Naruto-san, what can I get for you today?" She asked with a smile on.
Naruto smiled right back and replied, "I would like a bowl of chicken ramen please."
"Of course, it will be ready in a couple of minutes. Would you like something to drink in the mean time?"
"Yes, just get me some tea for now, no preference." She nodded and walked around back, but came back a moment later with a cup of tea. Another five minutes and his ramen was in front of him. He grabbed a pair of chop sticks and broke them apart and said:
"Itadakimasu!" (Way of saying respect for the food given to you)
With that, he dug into the ramen and started to eat the noodle, chicken and soup. He liked it a lot. He ate it in about five minutes and then asked for another bowl of the stuff. He got his second bowl a few minutes later and ate that one also in about 5 minutes. 'Damn, that was some good stuff.' He thought to himself.
"Well that was excellent, I'll be sure to tell others about this place. I really liked it, Ayame-chan. I'll be seeing you around O.K.?" He got up and put some money on the table before he left out the curtain and waved as he left.
"Who was that Ayame-chan?" An older voice asked form around the corner. When he came around he was wiping his hands down on a towel. He was an older man in his late 30's or so, he had on a chief hat and wore a white chief coat.
"That was Naruto-san, you probably know of him as Namikaze-sama." She watched her father's reaction intently. He dropped the towel on the floor and had his mouth agape.
"The, Namikaze? As in the 4th Hokage's son?" He asked, a little startled that he would come to a place like this. His daughter Ayame just nodded.
"Yes, Teuchi (name of dad) it was the Namikaze Naruto, but he doesn't like being called by his last name, he thinks it is too formal. So he asked me to call him Naruto-san, and I did." She replied.
"Well, what did he think about the food?!" He half asked, half shouted.
"He really liked it! He had two bowls of chicken soup. He even said that he would recommend us to others." She replied like it was nothing.
Teuchi was lost for words at that moment. The Namikaze came to his place and got two bowls of his food and he liked it! Then he said he would suggest the stand to other people! His face broke out into a huge grin.
"Otousan, why are you grinning?" That grin kind of creped her out a little.
"You don't get it do you? If Namikaze-sama suggests us to other people, others will surely come, and if he comes again, and from what you told me he will, then this place will be busier than ever. We will make a fortune!" He said with dollar signs in his eyes.
Ayame could only shake her head at his antics and go back to work.
At that very moment, Naruto was walking down the street towards his supposedly new home that was once his parents. As he walked down the road he got more polite nods and even some greetings, which was the life he came to know. Everyone knew about him and what he did. The second something happened with him, it seemed as though the entire village would know about it before he could even travel half way through it on foot. 'I guess everyone will know every time I do something new or accomplish something. It is kind of scary of how fast gossip travels in this town. I swear that gossip travels faster than any ninja could in this village.' He thought as he continued to walk down the road.
As he did so, he got closer and closer to the richer part of town. After another ten minutes of walking, he came to a big gate that was in the middle of the forest. He opened it up and walked through. As he kept walking he noticed the landscape. It was a nice open front yard with some trees here and there. After some time on foot he came upon a house. Well some may call it a house but others may call it a mansion, although Naruto considered it a house. It just didn't have the mansion feel to it. It was big, he would give anyone that, but it wasn't amazing like a mansion, but felt more like an actual house. Although he has gotten lost the few times, he had been inside the place before.
It was your normal looking house, two stories tall, with the front door in the middle, windows here and there. On the second floor there were patios, so you could get some fresh air. In the front there were bushes all around the house and more trees in the distance. After checking the place out for a minute he decided to head on in.
"With out further adieu." He said to no one in particular, more to himself to get out of his musing for so long. So he walked up to the front door and pulled out the key the old man had given him and put it into the key hole on the front door and turned. With that, the lock was undone opening up his new home.
After walking into the house, the first thing he noticed were the stairs that lead to the second floor, a little way in front of him, and then the hallway he was in. There was a closet to put coats and stuff in, but he left all his stuff at the Sarutobi mansion for now, he would pick it up later. Right now he had a house to explore. With that exact thought in mind he wandered the halls. He found a bathroom, a living room, kitchen, dining room, another bathroom, and a bar. Then he found where he would most likely be spending most of his time in, the training room. There were weapons of every kind on the walls. There were mats everywhere, and it lead outside into the back yard that was absolutely huge, to say the least. The clearing had to be at least 500 feet big! There were trees, again surrounding the training area, that lead farther out into Konoha, or outside of Konoha to be more precise. There was a small river going through the training ground that went into a lake about a mile away from his house. That would be a great source to practice his water jutsu!
After checking out the back yard, he went back inside to look at the upstairs. Once on the second floor, he went into the main hallway, then split off into smaller ones most likely, he would find out. As he went down the hallway he checked out each room as he passed. There were a total of eight bedrooms on this floor. But the main bedroom was absolutely great.
In the middle of the room was a huge bed. Upon closer inspection, it was a king sized bed with blue sheets over it for coverings and what looked like very comfy pillows. Continuing on with the observation of the room, he found a walk- in closet that was huge also; it had to be twenty feet by ten feet! That was insane! If he ever had that many clothes, he would be crazy. But hey, the space would probably get used some time or another in his life time! After recovering from the HUGE closet he went into the personal bathroom and found it was also huge. There was a counter were the sink was and two cabinets. Then there was a big walk in shower, over all, the master bedroom was very, very nice!
He continued down the hall and also found there were two storage rooms and two more bathrooms on the second floor. Oh, let's not forget the walk out balconies that were all over the front and back yards to look out and enjoy nature! He went downstairs and couldn't help but wonder were the library was? According to the old man, there was an absolutely huge library just full of everything a ninja could ever want, from techniques, ranging in all the elements, to taijutsu, to Genjutsu, to history! It was all there, but the problem was he couldn't find it! After another ten minutes of walking down the same paths, he got frustrated.
"Were the hell is the library!" Then he suddenly remembered the old man Hokage talking about the library once when he asked about his parent house.
Flashback…
Naruto was 7 years old and was talking to the old man when a question suddenly became apparent to him, so being curious and knowing the old man would be able to answer them, he asked.
"Hey Sarutobi-san?" Hearing his name called, he looked down towards Naruto and said, "What is it you need Naruto?"
"Well I was just wondering, you know how you said my parents have this huge library and stuff, with more stuff than the Hokage's building has?" Here he nodes and motions for him to continue which he does. "Well I've been there before but I have never seen this library before, where is it?"
Sarutobi looked thoughtful for a minute before he replied, "Well you know that kind of information can't get out into the open right?" It was Naruto's turn to nod this time. "Well since your parents had such a large amount of books, filled with very important things and since your father was a seal master, he created seals all around the room to make it invisible to the human eye. It is like a Genjutsu, but is more advanced, what with the amount of seals he put on there, to add to the security. He made it so only a select few could get in, those people were restricted to just his family, in other words, you."
Naruto had a look of awe on his face at that moment. He knew his dad was a seal master, but to be this good was unbelievable. Making an entire room disappear would take very intricate seals, and they would need to be done right and put into the right spots too. But this added another question.
"If it is invisible to the human eye, then how am I supposed to see it? Can I see through it because I'm family?"
"Very good question Naruto, you surprise me again with that brain of yours, no, you cannot see through it either. It is just as invisible to you as it is to me, but for you to see it; you have to do certain hand seals in front of where the door is supposed to be and then swipe a little blood on the wall and it will show itself. Even so, only you or your family can enter no one else, not even me. The door will recognize your blood and body and let you in. It also has other safety features, like chakra signatures, blood, and body scans. These will all be checked when you touch the door handle, if you are deemed as a Namikaze, then you can enter. If not then it will never open for you no matter what you try. If you try to force it to open with a jutsu, you will be attacked with hidden weapons that would kill you before you even know it. It is the most secure thing in this entire village, and once you leave, if you want to put the invisibility on the door again, than all you need to do is some more hand seals and put some of your blood on the door. That's about it"
Flashback End…
So making his way down the hallway to were the door is suppose to be, but isn't, he goes through some hand seals and then bites his thumb and swipes some onto the wall, and presto, the wall warps and there is a door there in its wake! He reaches out and touches the handle, but nothing happens, so he assumes that it is working and turns it, it moves and then he pushes it open. What he sees is breath taking. The room is huge! It must be at least 50 feet long and 30 feet wide. And it was just crammed full of books! They were everywhere, he could probably spend the next six years of his life in here and just read and still not be done with them all, it was that big!
Then, he noticed something that caught his eye; it was a safe about 6 feet tall. He walked over and looked it over; there was no handle what so ever on it, so it had to be the work of some kind of seal again. Then he saw the actual seal on it. It was very complex, like all the others he'd seen so far.
"Damn! I have no idea what these things mean! I wonder if it is another blood seal thing, hopefully this time I don't have to use hand seals though, the old man never mentioned this! Oh well couldn't hurt to try." He bit his thumb again, just enough to draw blood and then spread it over the seal on the safe. Surprisingly it opened up!
"Well I'll be, it actually worked, sweat! Now, let's see what's in here." He looked and found there to be about twelve scrolls in there, but one in particular caught his attention. He picked it up and looked at the title.
"Namikaze Bloodline Limit. I knew I had one, and that it allowed me to do the Hiraishin no jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) and the advanced shunshin no jutsu. I wonder what it says…"
And so for the next few hours he looked at that scroll and a few others in the library as well. He then noticed the time and decided to go to bed for the night. He would have plenty of time to read more later.
Author Notes:
PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is Battousai222. There's the second chapter. I hope you liked it a lot. I have decided what I'm going to do for the pairings and it will be final! If you don't like my decision you can stop reading but I wouldn't if I were you. You never know, you could end up liking the pairing. Well the pairing will be Naruto X Female Haku. NO HAREM! I just don't like these things. I like reading them and stuff. I have no personal grudge against them at all. Actually in some stories they are really good. But my stories will always have just one person as a wife or girlfriend.
You people out there helped me decide this. You know who you are too! The reason there will be no harem is because it is just the way I like it and that it seemed that more people wanted this to. That is all. Please no flames about this.
Now for me to answer some questions that I already didn't answer in replies or I want you all to know.
One: Minato's wife Kushina went into battle with the Kyuubi and fought it because she was an ANBU captain and she had to lead her squad and buy some time for Minato to get the seal ready on the battle field. She died trying to buy time in the battle.
Two: The seal was a design were it had to have paper seals on the ground all over the place in a huge area in specific areas and if one was off by more than an inch it would fail. So Minato did it himself. That is why it took so long for him to get there.
Three: Naruto's birthday is October 6th. Four days before the Kyuubi reached the village.
Well there you go. Constructive criticism is welcome any time. Any questions I'll try to answer in replies or in the next chapter or later in the story.
Review…
