A/N: Hey gylfie here. Sorry about the slow update, I kinda fail at updating on a regular basis. I want to thank everyone who reviewed/favorited/alerted it kept me motovated and helped me work out some plot details. Well you can go and read now and I'll contionue at the bottom.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.

"You mastered the Kage Bushin jutsu?" Tsume knew her son had potential, but to master a jonin technique in a few hours, that was unheard of.

Naruto had just gotten back from the forest, Iruka's haitai shining on his forehead, and had bounded into the hokage's office, excitedly babbling about graduating, Iruka sensei, kage bushin, and Mizuki sensei telling him to steal the scroll and learn a jutsu from it. "Yes I can make about a hundred, that's how I save Iruka sensei." He was jumping up and down trilled about his new jutsu.

"Naruto slow down and tell us the whole story, starting from what Mizuki told you."

And the two adults listened, wincing and glaring when they heard about Mizuki, and reassuring him that Iruka was right about the fox. Tsume had fiercely proud look in her eyes. When he had finished his tale, the Hokage opened a drawer of his desk removing a scroll. "Naruto this is for you, I was going to wait until you became chunin to give this to you, but I believe your have proved your self worthy of knowing today. It is from your parents, and sincerely hope you do not hate them, or us for not telling you after you read it. They were truly good people, smart and caring and even though they died the day you were born they truly loved you."

Naruto took the scroll for him gingerly, almost scared at the prospect of finding out who his true parents, sure he loved his family but as an orphan it was some thing he had always wonder about his birth parents. Recognizing the blood seal he bit into his finger swiping a trail of blood across the swirling pattern. Instantly the scroll unfurled its self, and writing appeared on the parchment. The handwriting was neat and formal but at the same time sincere.

Dear Naruto,

If you are reading this it means that you have made chunin, if you have I congratulate you, or Sarutobi has deemed you worthy enough to know some of the greatest secrets of our village. I'm truly sorry that you must carry the burden of having the nine-tailed fox sealed within you, but I know that with my and your mothers blood you have the greatest ability to restrain the beast and control it. But you must remember that you are not the beast itself but the jailor. You are Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze the one who keeps the fox at bay. I did not wish to give you this burden but I had no choice, I hope that you do not hate me though I would understand if you did. Know that I will always love you and be watching over you.

On a brighter note at the bottom of this not I have left another blood seal with information on our clan the Namikaze, and my notes on my two personal jutsu. I wish you well learning them and believe that you might be the one to finally complete them. If you need any help with them I advise that you seek out either my teacher Jiriaya of the Sannin or my student Kakashi Hatake.

Yours Truly,

Minato Namikaze

'I don't hate you father,' a tear slid down Naruto's cheek. As more writing scrolled itself across the page. This time it was more elegant, but Naruto could tell that it was written in haste.

Dear Naruto,

Your father is an idiot, a noble idiot, but still I digress. He has made you a jinchūriki, against my wishes you are like me cursed by the power of human sacrifice. For that is what it means to carry a tailed beast within you. Know that you are not alone there are others like you in fact most of the villages have at least one, they are shunned and hated for what they contain, but they are not evil they are merely people like you and I, though they do have a habit of being excellent shinobi. Like you I was the jinchūriki of the nine-tailed fox. My family hailed from whirlpool country and I was the second among them to have the fox sealed within me. I ask you not to listen to the people that say the the Kyūbi is an evil, unintelligent beast. She is not. She is one of the most intelligent beings I have ever met, she may be clever and cunning like any other fox, but she is also caring and loyal to those she considers her friends. I only ask you to met her with an open mind and to be respectful, as she was one of my greatest friends. I'm afraid my time on earth is ending soon, I will always love you with all my heart my son, and know that sealed into the "birthmark" on you left arm is the Uzumaki family ring, my notes on the Uzumaki clan jutsu, and my research on the other jinchūriki and their locations. If you ever wish for information on me or you father you should ask you godmother Tsume Inuzuka, and if she didn't adopt you I swear I will find a way to kill her from the afterlife.

Best Wishes and Love from Your Mother,

Kushina Uzumaki

Tsume and Sarutobi looked at Naruto strangely, he was chuckling and from the look on his face hewas trying his hardest not to burst into laughter. He rolled up the scroll clutching it close to his heart. "Thank you," he nodded to Sarutobi.

"You understand that you can't just go around giving out this information, and that it has been, and is being kept secret for your own protection. You may only give out this information to people you trust completely."

"Yes, but I am aloud to tell Kiba and Shino, right."

"Only tell people that you can trust with your life, but understand that the more people that know the more likely it is that the information will get out."

"I understand. My father mentioned a Kakashi Hatake, would it be possible for me to meet him."

"It is possible" the old man mused. There was going to have to be a change in team arrangement anyway. "Naruto you may leave I wish to speak with your mother a bit more. And make sure to keep that scroll safe." Naruto bowed with a polite arigato, before walking quietly out of the room.

"Who do you think he would work well with," the third Hokage questioned.

"I had hoped for Kiba to be on a tracking team, but Naruto would work better with Aburame san and Hyuga san." Tsume had an odd twinkle in her honey brown eyes.

"The owner of the dog contract is a decent tracker is he not," Sarutobi was smirking now.

"He is decent."

If you were looking for a freshly minted shinobi of Konoha named Kiba Inuzuka, you would find him trying to comfort his emotionally confused brother. Kiba knew that he was in shock but it hadn't quite set in yet, and his brother need him more at the moment, than his mind needed to register the information thrown at it. He was on some kind of adrenaline his mind was moving at warp speeds to process what Naruto had told him. It didn't change his opinion of his brother at all, Naruto was still the same brother he had grown up with. It was just well simply put, shocking. But if he was honest with himself it made sense, kind of like he was filling the last pieces in the puzzle of his brothers past. It explained why Naruto had so many canine traits, and why he could still speak to dogs even though he was not an Inuzuka by birth, Kiba was willing to bet that Naruto could converse with any canine, and why he always felt a kind of déjà vu when looking at a picture of the fourth. He wished he was better at this sort of thing, the comforting thing that girls were good at, he just sat there awkwardly with his sobbing brother in his arms. It wasn't often that Naruto was like this, he was very good at concealing his emotions behind that goofy smile of his, and now all of it was coming out all out once.

A/N: Sorry that it is kinda short but I should be coming out with the next chapter soon, which is between now and later. If my spelling really bad I appologize, but I do not have a beta, eh. I already have Naruto's team planed out, but if you have any suggestions for the other teams please tell me. I LOVE WRITING LETTERS! Just so you know. So reveiw, eh. We all that button needs a little love.
