Chapter Two: Family: Blood and Bond

The sun was just starting to rise when Naruto awoke from his slumber to discover he was laying on the floor in his room. Looking up he stared at the ceiling as he tried to figure out why he was on the floor when his memory suddenly jolted him awake as last night finally came to light. "Kurama" he said quietly as he remembered the fox's name. A sudden chuckle brought his attention to his surroundings as he looked around for the source only to see nothing at all in the way of a person. The chuckle came again and this time Naruto recognized it. "Kurama-san?" He asked quietly.

The chuckle turned into a laugh "hai kit. It is me. After you fell asleep i was able to form a mental connection so we may speak. But a suggestion out in public or around others think what you wish to say and i shall hear it. If you speak people will suspect me and try to attack you even more and now that i am free of the cage if not the seal i may not be able to resist punishing them." Naruto nodded and looked out the window. "Its starting to brighten. I better get dressed and head over to see jiji." Kurama agreed and Naruto got up and prepared for the day.

When he was ready naruto went to leave his home when a poof of smoke shot up in front of him to reveal a small orange toad wearing a green vest sitting on top of a large box. Naruto blinked in surprise before smiling at the toad. "Hey Gamakichi hows it going." The toad smiled and and waved one hand. "Yo Naruto got any candy." Naruto laughed and tossed to toad a piece of candy. "So whats ero-senin got for me now." He said with his usual smile. The small toad ate the candy and tapped the box beneath him. "He said it was a graduation gift and that you will really like it." He looked at Naruto and his grin widened. "Also pops said to tell you well done on graduating. Your father would be proud." Naruto smiled and looked at the small toad. "Thanks kichi. Tell ero and your pops thank you and that yonda is proud of me." He knew that the boss of toads and his god father would understand the hidden message.

The small toad nodded and said he would before disappearing in another poof of smoke. Naruto looked at the box and reached out and opened it. Looking in he saw three things. One was a large scroll with a kanji on it he couldn't make out. The next was a paper wrapped package. And the last was a small scroll placed on top of the package. Grabbing the small scroll he opened it and began to read.

Hey gaki long time no see.

Sensi told me about your graduation so i figured some gifts were in order. Hope you like them.

Jiriah

Naruto smiled and looking at the seal on the note. He placed his hand on it and sent some chakra into it. With a quick poof a large bag appeared in front of him with a kanji for money and a note saying use as you wish. Naruto smiled and put it back in the seal before grabbing the package and opening it. He gasped and smiled as he looked at what was in it. He heard Kurama give a growl of surprise and approval. "Now that is awesome."

Situated in the center of the village so that those within could watch everything stood the Hokage Tower. Not only the home but also the office of the Hokage (Fire Shadow) of Konoha. At the top of the tower was a open area that allowed a viewer to watch the entire city and even part of the countryside around it. Standing at this spot was a elderly man with a white goatee and black eyes smoking a pipe. He wore a white robe with a kanji for fire on it's back in red. and a red hat with a white diamond that had the same kanji on the front

Sarutobi Hiruzen the third Hokage stood watching his village with a gentle smile. He had long ago learned that to protect and defend this village was his goal in life and as hokage he could fulfill that goal to the maximum. The wind kicked up and with it brought the smell of the forest. As he stood there a man suddenly appeared behind him with silver gravity defying hair and a dog mask on his face. He stood quietly waiting as the Hokage stood smoking.

"What may i do for you Dog?" the third asked. The man, Dog, bowed his head. "Sir i have come to request that i be allowed to leave ANBU and take up a Genin team to train." Came the slightly muffled voice. Sarutobi smiled. He knew why this man wanted a team and he knew two of the kids he wanted. "I take it you wish to request Naruto-ku?" "Hai Hokage-Sama." Sarutobi nodded and smiled "Then you may return to hq and turn in your mask with my blessing. But Hatake" he stopped and turned to the man. "Do not make me regret this." he said with slight venom in his voice. 'Hai Hokage-Sama, I will not let you or sensai down." He said before Jumping away. The third just smiled and looked back out at the village enjoying the sun rise "I know you won't. Kakashi."

Naruto had a small grin on his face as he walked down the streets of Konoha. People looked at him and did a double take not believing what they were seeing. Naruto walked down the street wearing not his Kill me orange jump suit that everyone knew him to wear. No now he walked down the street in a pair of black shinobi pants. A black long sleeved shirt with red-orange stripes going down each side. A Red-orange vest over the shirt and his Shinobi band on his Right shoulder while his left had the orange symbol of the Uzumaki clan on it.

This was what Naruto found in the wrapped package the his Godfather Jiraiya, the toad sage, had sent him. He smiled as he thought about his new clothes and what he planned to do to that eye sore of a jumpsuit. "Hehe Kit. You really hated that thing didn't you?" Chuckled Kurama. Naruto nodded and quietly thought. "Yeah I did. That was just a horrible color." He heard Kurama laugh again before returning to watching what naruto was seeing in the village.

As he walked Naruto thought over what he was going to do now. He knew that he was going to become a genin and join a team. But what he wanted to know was what to do about Kurama and the knowledge he now had. Kurama decided to speak up. "Mind if i give my opinion Kit?" Naruto gave him the go ahead and continued walking. "I think you ought to tell the third the truth about me and you knowing about your parents. Also I think you ought to begin training sooner rather then later. Your teacher can do much but you have some abilities that others don't."

Naruto chuckled. "You for instance. I have access to your full chakra and can use it to perform more advanced jutsu." Kurama gave the affirmative and listened. "Yeah i probably should start training. Jiraiya gave me some training scrolls i have hidden away so i can use those to help me." Kurama nodded and was about to speak when he noticed Naruto had turned his attention to someone some one was a young girl with dark blue hair and pale eyes. Her face was slightly hidden by a large jacket she wore.

Kurama sensed his host's thoughts and chuckled. "Why don't you tell her then kit?" Naruto jumped from the question and a blush appeared on his cheeks before he turned away. "I don't know what your talking about Kurama-san." Kurama frowned and sifted through Naruto's memories before sighing and laying his head down. "What ever you say Kit. I'm just stating my opinion." Naruto winced at his tone and kept walking not noticing that the young girl in question had turned and was watching him walk away. "Naruto-kun"

Naruto sighed as we walked into the reception room of the Hokage's office and looked at the assistant at the desk. She looked up and smiled at the boy before standing. "Just a second Naruto-kun i will see if he's available." Naruto nodded and stood there waiting. He looked up and saw a picture of his father on the wall along with the other three Hokage's pictures. Naruto smiled and walked up to it. Placing his hand on the frame he quietly whispered. "dad."

Just then the assistant walked out. She had heard Naruto's whispered and was shocked that the kid knew his heritage. Naruto turned to see the woman starring at him in shock. "You knew didn't you?" he asked quietly. She nodded to stunned to speak and also a llittle scared he would lash out. But the boy just smiled and looked at her. "It's okay. I know why no one told me. I actually found out accidentally. An old scrool jiji let me borrow." The woman nodded and then motioned for naruto to go ahead and enter the office.

Naruto walked into the office to see the third sitting at his desk fighting a never ending battle he always had. Paperwork. Naruto chuckled and decided to help the old man out after this meeting. "Hey Jiji." he said loudly to get the mans attention. The third looked up and smiled at Naruto. "Ahh naruto please come in and sit down." Naruto did as sugested adn took the offered seat before looking at the old man.

The Hokage smiled at him. "So what can i do for my newest ninja ehh Naruto-kun?" Naruto smiled and looked down. He was nervous on how to approach the man about this subject yet he knew he needed to. "I don't know where to start Jiji." The third looked at Naruto and sat up. "Start at the begining and take your time. I have no appointments today." Naruto nodded and sat back. "First can we talk privatly please. Any ANBU you have in here please have them go. Except Dog if he's here." The third nodded adn with a wave of his hand five ANBU men came out of hiding and left the room. Naruto smiled and sat back looking out the window. His thoughts were suddenly pulled to a memory of a few years back.

Flashback

A youngNaruto ran down the streets of Konoha. Behind him the villagers chased him with knives and spears. It was one of the villagers favorite things to do. Chase away the Demon Brat and beat him to an inch of his life before either the third or ANBU arrived.

Naruto ran quickly his clothes already shreded and torn. cuts and bruises adorned his body and he felt like he just wanted to curl up and die. ~Why do they hate me. What did i do to them~ Naruto felt a rock scratch his face and he picked up his pace to try and escape his pursurers even more. But he knew he couldn't.

Suddenly he turned a corner and saw that he had hit a dead end. Turning he saw the villagers all with that evil look in their eyes. "So decided to stop running. Ehh demon. Gona take your punishment like the monster you are." Naruto shook his head and started to back away. "Please, j..just leave me alone. I havn't done any thing. I just wan.." He wasn't able to finish as the man who had spoken grabed him and flung him against the ally wall. "Shut up you demon. Becasue of you our familys, our firends, our leader is dead."

The Hoard cheered the man on and encouraged him to hurt the young boy. Naruto just layed curled up cowering. His face hidden and praying that it would be over soon. The man sneered and grapped Naruto again. This time around the throat stopping all breathin that the boy could do. "Ohh i'm gona enjoy this. I'm gona finish what the fourth started." As he said those word a sudden breeze poped up and the man realized that Naruto was no longer in his hands. Turning he saw that the boy was now clutched in the arms of a man with a dog mask and silver gravity defying hair. Next to him stood a figure in a white and red cloak and a red hat with a white diamond. The masked man handed the boy to the cloaked man who was glaring at the mob. "Deal with them dog i dont want to see their faces again on my streets." He said his voice filled with cold fury. The masked man nodded and after forming a quick series of hand seals ending on the tiger seal took a deep breath breath and eypelled it in a giant ball of fire.

The cloaked man turned away to hide the carnage from the boys eyes. Yet he couldn't hide the sounds. the screams from the burning men reached the boys ears and he cried into the man's cloak. The man just held him and waited for the dark deed to be done. As the screams died down a voice spoke up from behind the man. "It is done, Lord Hokage." The Hokage nodded and looked down at the boy. "I am taking Naruto to my office. Meet us there after cleaning up." "Hai." The Hokage didn't wait for a reply and took off towards his office.

End Flashback

Naruto sighed as the memory washed over him. The Hokage had taken him to his office and healed his wounds and given him some new clothes before sending him to the apartment he now had. His memories had made him have courage to talk to the man. After all this was the man that had always shown kindness and compassion towards him when no one else would.

Turning Naruto looked at the Hokage and smiled. "What do you know about the Kyuubi no Kitsune?" Sarutobi blinked in surprise and sat back. "Not much i'm afraid. The Fourth knew more then me." Naruto smiled. "Yes my father did know quite a lot didn't he."

The fourth sputtered and fell back in his chair as Naruto made that comment. Naruto knowing what the reaction was going to be fell back laughing holding his sides as he rolled on the floor. Kurama was laughing within Naruto's mind as well. "That was perfect Kit. The look on his face." The Fox roared loudly and rolled over as his sides started to hurt from the laughter.

Sarutobi blinked and stood up glaring at the boy that rolled around on the floor of his office. Picking his chair up he let Naruto laugh as his mind rang through his thoughts a mile a minute. ~How did he find out? Did Jiraiya tell him? No, Jiraiya would of let me know if he had told the how did he learn about his father?~ He stared at the boy a bit before coughing into his hand to get the boys attention.

Naruto heard the cough and took a few deep breaths to calm down. Still chuckling he stood up and righted his own chair. "Sorry Jiji your response was just to funny." Sarutobi just growled and looked at his adoptive grandson. "Naruto, how did you learn about your father?" Naruto smiled and sat back looking at his adoptive grandfather. "Better sit back Jiji this is a long story" he said before telling him everything that had happened the day before.

Sarutobi sat back and stared at the boy in front of him. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Not only had Naruto learned of and met the Kyuubi, but he had freed it withing his mind as well. Also the boy had learned of who his parents were and had even spoken with his father briefly through a Chakra memory that had been placed within him as well. The old man shook his head and took a long drag on his pipe. He had thought he had seen every thing there was to see in the world but this boy always seemed to have just one more surprise left for him.

Naruto sat waiting for the old man to say something. He had just revealed everything to the man he considered a grandfather and was honestly scared about what would happen now. He was pulled out of his musings as Sarutobi gave of a chuckle that turned into a full blown laugh. Naruto stared slightly shocked and a little scared. Kurama was along the same line of thinking. "Did he go insane or something Kit. Why is he laughing?" Naruto shrugged and looked at the third trying to figure that very question out.

Sarutobi stopped laughing and looked at Naruto. "Sorry Naruto i just realized something and I had to laugh about it." Naruto raised an eyebrow. "oh" was all he said as Sarutobi started to laugh again. "Yes. You see your father had me sign a document stating that until you graduated the academy I and those who witnessed the signing were not allowed to reveal your heritage to any one including you. It is this reason that you have lived in that shack of an apartment all this time and not your family home. But now i am allowed to reveal who you are to every one in the village and give you what you rightfully deserve." Naruto sat there in disbelief and then a smiled lit his face as he launched forward and hugged the old man. "Thank you Jiji thank you so much." Sarutobi laughed and hugged to boy close. "No problem Naruto. Now I need to call a council meeting and when i reveal everything you need to act surprised. But i'm sure you know how to do that. After all you acted like an idiot in class all these years." Naruto chuckled and rubbed the back of his head. "Yea, no prob Old Man." The Hokage chuckled and walked out to tell his assistant to summon the council for a meeting.

Naruto sat in a chair before the council staring at the people who had been making his life a living hell. The council. The leaders of Konoha. Each member was either a high ranking Ex shinobi, or one of the Clan Heads. They were the leaders of the village and they made the Hokage's life as difficult as possible. Always grabbing for more power always trying to corrupt and ruin the village for their own gain. As far as Naruto knew the Hokage was the only member with a heart on the council.

As the council settled down the Hokage stood up and looked at them. "Thank you for coming here. What i am about to say is..." he began to speak with one of the council members spoke up. "Hokage was is he doing here." the man said pointing a finger at Naruto and sneering the word "he". The Hokage glared at the man and spoke in a quiet yet angry tone. "Naruto is here because what i am about to tell you all concerns him as well as you." He stopped and glared at teh council his anger growing. "For to long you have tried to harm and abuse Naruto for something he had no control over. You attack him, you ignore him, you charge him extra for the smallest of things." He glared at them. "And the only reason for it is that you don't know the boys heritage. If you did you would never have dared to do such things."

One of the council looked up at this and frowned. "What do you mean. He has no heritage. He's a clan-less orphan." The Hokage just smiled and pulled out a scroll from his sleeve. Turning he tossed it to a woman with long, spiky, untamed brown hair, vertical slit-like pupils, elongated canine teeth and nails. She also had fang markings on her cheeks as well as markings over her eyes and a dark shade of purple lipstick. She wore the standard outfit of a Konoha shinobi consisting of flak jacket and a black suit underneath with the sleeves rolled up and bandages around her legs. She didn't wear the village's forehead protector. "Tsume read that if you would please"

The woman 'Tsume' nodded an opened the scroll.

AS of this day, October 10th the day of the Kyuubi's attack. I Minato Namikaze do decree that Sarutobi Hiruzen and all witness's to this, is hereby ordered to hide oll knowledge of my relation to my son. Naruto Uzumaki until such time as he has become a Genin of Konoha or discovers the knowledge himself. upon the announcement of this All affairs are to be given over to him and no other. Should anyone disbelieve that Naruto is my son they are to go to the Uzumaki estate and have Naruto place his blood upon the blood seal that locks the gate shut. This is my final order as Fourth Hokage.

Signed. Minato Namikaze, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Tsume Inuzuka, and Shikaku Nara

The council sat unbelieving as they heard what was being read. Tsume and Shikaku just smiled and looked at Naruto with kindness they had been good friends of Minato and Kushina and had wanted to tell the boy but the fourth had also for bade them from saying anything. Naruto just sat there his eyes wide, his mouth dropped open as he comprehended what was being said.

One council member looked at Shikaku and quietly asked. "Is this true. Is Naruto really the Fourth's son?" Shikaku nodded and looked at the man. "Yes he is. But if you don't believe me, the Hokage, or Tsume then we need to go to the estate and prove if. But if you believe then there shouldn't be any problem." The man nodded and sat back. Another man stood up and looked at the Hokage. "I don't think we need go to the estate." He reached into he arm and pulled out a scroll. "this scroll was given to me as a gift by the fourth. He said when the time came to give it to his son." He looked at Naruto. His thoughts drifting. "I should of realized Naruto was Minato's son a long time ago. he is a spitting image of him as a kid. and i should know. I was the guy academy instructor." He stood and walked up to Naruto. "Here kid. It's sealed with a blood seal. If it opens you are Minato's son if not then your not."

Naruto looked at him then at the scroll. He looked at the fourth and then spoke. "Is it true?" The man frowned nodded. "Yes. You are the fourth's son." Naruto nodded and then took the offered scroll. Lifting his thumb he bit down using his longer incisors and wiped the blood on the seal. The council watched and gasped as the seal disappeared and the scroll started to open. The man jumped forward and closed it watching as the seal reappeared. He looked at Naruto. "This is for your eyes only boy. Blood seals are a sign of family secrets." Naruto nodded and held the scroll close to him. He didn't need to act like it was precious and now his surprise was real.

Sarutobi smiled and patted the boys shoulder before walking over to a wall and placing his hand on it. As the council watched the wall disappeared to reveal a small cubby with a large scroll with the Uzumaki clan symbol on it. Turning he handed the scroll to naruto and smiled. "That holds everything you need, the key and address of your new home, your family's account ledgers and a few other items." Naruto nodded and grabbed the scroll close to him. The Hokage smiled and looked at the council. I will announce this to the village later today. I would like all of you there to validate what i am saying." The council all nodded and the Hokage dismissed them except for the Inuzuka clan head. "Tsume. could you go to Naruto's apartment please and gather his belongings and then take them to the estate please." THE woman bowed and then smiled at Naruto. "Sure thing. I will see you later kid." She waved and then darted off.

Sarutobi smiled and looked at Naruto who now looked stunned. He had his head down resting on the large scroll. The man smiled and walked forward saying the boys name. HE frowned when there was no response and then smiled when he heard a light snoring. Chuckling the man picked naruto up and walked back to his office. Laying the boy on his couch he returned to his desk. "Guess he really was surprised after all." he said chuckling as he began the paperwork to make Naruto the official new head of the newly recreated Uzumaki clan.

Well there it is Chapter two. Naruto has officially become a clan head even if he didn't expect that. He had inherited his family fortune and now has a awsome home for himself.

This chapter came up because one of the things in both the anime and manga that surprised me is that when naruto realized who he really was he didin't tell any one he knew. he kept it to himself. I mean yeah he is modest and not boastfull but still. wouldn't you like to know what your family at least left you. And even if they left him a house he probally would of been able to get his ownplace if he wanted one.

Any way yep there is this chapter.

Ok now i have a question for every one who is reading this. And i know there are a lot of you. I am currently working on what Naruto's team is going to be. Currently i have Naruto and Kakashi. But what im wonderign is what to do about the other two team mates. So I believe a pole is in order.
