(A/N)- Author Note to Readers

(A/N- Before I start this chapter I just want to say that knowing that the first chapter of my first story has already been reviewed, favorite, and followed made me want to get this second chapter out as soon as possible.)

Chapter 2: Learning About Family

In response to HoO Fan Wells: First I just want to say thanks for reviewing it really means a lot to me and the reason I'm adding this in is in case anyone had the same question as you. Now to answer your question the reason why Naruto knew the Fire Style jutsu is because Kyuubi sent him mental images of the justu and how it was done. I am sorry if I did not make that clear in the story. But the reason as to why Kyuubi had knowledge of the jutsu, why Naruto was able to do it so easily on his first try, and why his fire was blue will be explained in this chapter.

In response to Kurama Thunderstorm: Like I said above thanks for reviewing and I want you and anyone else reading this to know that I will continue updating this story as soon as I can.

Chapter 2:

Last time on The Namikaze Legacy:

Once Naruto finished the jutsu he dropped down to one knee and looked to where Mizuki burnt to death by the blue flames and saw that there was only thing that remained of Mizuki was his ashes.

Now:

Seeing that Mizuki was really dead Naruto let out a breath that he hadn't known he was holding and got lost in his thoughts as he fell down on his back "damn that took a lot out more out of me than I thought it would and why were the flames blue? Huh I guess I'll have to ask the fox later but for now I'm just going to lay here and relax"

"Naruto!"

"… Fuck."

Iruka watched his student fall to the ground as he ran up to him shouting his name out of worry that he was hurt in some way. When he got to Naruto he noticed that he was just feeling exhausted from the fight so he helped Naruto to his feet and helped him stand up and spoke to him "Naruto close your eyes for me alright I have a present for you and I want you to be surprised okay." To which Naruto just nodded and closed his eyes.

After a couple of minutes of waiting and felling something wrap around his head Naruto got curious of what Iruka was doing "Hey Iruka-sensei how much longer do I have to keep my eyes closed?"

"Alright Naruto open them" Iruka said in a happy voice wondering what Naruto would think about his gift to him.

As Naruto opened his eyes the first thing he noticed was that Iruka's forehead protector was gone. "Ah! Sensei your headband is gone we ha-"but was interrupted by Iruka putting a hand on his shoulder and then pointing to Naruto's forehead where the protector now lay "Naruto you are my prized student no matter what anyone says and I am proud to have been your sensei and say that you are a ninja of the Hidden Leaf Village!" Iruka said proudly at seeing Naruto become a genin right before his eyes and take one step closer to achieving his dream of becoming Hokage.

"Thanks sensei Naruto said smiling and overwhelmed by the fact that he was going to be a ninja.

Hearing this Iruka smiled happy that Naruto was excited to start his ninja career and said that he would help Naruto to his apartment if he needed it. As excited as Naruto was he still heard Iruka's offer to help and accepted it.

XXXXX

When they reached Naruto's apartment Iruka let him go inside by himself and left after hearing Naruto thank him for his help since he wanted to visit the Hokage and tell him that Naruto was going to pass with the rest of his class.

Walking up to his bed Naruto was about to go to sleep when he remembered that the was going to have a talk with the fox but then quickly panicked as he realized he didn't know how to get back to where he was speaking with the Kyuubi "Shit! Shit! I don't know how to get back there! ... Wait didn't I have a class on this type of thing about entering the inner mind or some crap what was it called again? …. Oh yeah meditating to clear one's mind. Damn sounds boring but hopefully if I do that I'll be able to go talk with Kyuubi." After about thirty minutes of trying to meditate Naruto was finally able to enter his mindscape and walked into the room with Kyuubi in it only to see something completely bizarre.

The fox was rolling around in its cage laughing its ass off while pointing at Naruto who was confused at what he had done. Quickly becoming mad after all the work he had done to get here on to be laughed at Naruto began yelling at the demon "Hey shithead what the hell is so funny!?"

"What is so funny is your memory span brat" Kyuubi said as he finally got himself under control

"What do you mean my memory span is funny!?" Naruto yelled back

"I mean that while it was hilarious seeing you have to meditate if only you had just remembered I created a telepathic link between us then you could have just thought what you wanted ask me."

"Wait so all that time I spent trying to get here was a waste! You could have just told me then you bastard!"

"And ruin all my fun? Hell no that shit was funny!" Kyuubi said proud that he had managed to screw with its container."Yeah this is so gonna become my pass time now."

Seeing that the fox was in lost in thought Naruto decided to interrupt its thoughts "HEY! I'm still here so how about we talk about like for one why the fuck was the fire style jutsu I used blue?! How do you know fire style jutsu in the first place? And how come I was able to do it perfectly on my first try I thought that stuff took practice?"

"(grunt ) Fine, fine just trying to have some fun. As to why your fire style jutsu was blue which even surprised me but I looked and it's because I represent the element of fire so you would have gotten the nature affinity for fire from me but you already had the nature affinity for wind. Since wind increases fire your wind affinity worked to become part of your fire affinity increasing its heat making it a much hotter blue fire. You understand that?" Kyuubi finished as he looked down at Naruto

(A/N- Now to those who are confused in mythology if what I read is correct Kyuubi represented the element of fire along with being the strongest Biju or tailed beast whatever you want to call them. And as to why I made the fire blue if you start a lighter notice how the start of it is blue I am pretty sure that is the hottest part of the flame but with Naruto all the fire will be blue. Now on the off chance that I am wrong than it still doesn't matter this is my story and I made it that way!)

Naruto who was listening nodded his head slow while saying "so basically my nature affinity combined with yours to make a hotter blue fire."

"That's right and as to why I know fire style jutsu like I said before I represent the element of fire and I've been alive for a really long time so it's only natural I'd notice some things. Also as to why you did the jutsu perfectly on your first try it was because I helped you a little bit and you had an adrenaline burst so don't expect to be able to do it again. You're going to have to practice with your affinity to do jutsu and it will be harder because yours is stronger than most." Kyuubi stated in a serious voice making his point that Naruto would have to practice seriously to get stronger.

"Good." Naruto simply replied confusing the fox

"What do you mean good this means you're going to have to practice really hard to be able to use your fire?"

"I mean that while the fire was great and all but I'd really like to earn it than just get it for no reason and plus I think I might have a new method of training already in mind" Naruto said excited. Hearing this Kyuubi started to respect him a little more. "Alright before I leave though and get some sleep I have one more question what did you mean when you said that you did not attack the village voluntarily?"

"I meant exactly what I said I didn't attack this village voluntarily. I was actually sealed in someone else but they were killed and I was released but was immediately controlled by a man wearing a mask with the sharingan that's all I remember until your father sealed me inside you."

At hearing this Naruto froze knowing that it was his own father that made him hated around the village when he decided to ask a question "Who is my father Kyuubi?" Naruto asked seriously.

"Come on you had history class your father was the one to save your village from me. He was your Fourth Hokage. Your father was Minato Namikaze." Kyuubi saidin a voice that showed a level of respect to the human that had been able to seal him away. Naruto though was completely shocked that he man he considered to be his hero was also his father but at the same time he was also the one to seal the Nine-Tailed Fox inside him which made the village hate him.

Knowing what Naruto was probably thinking Kyuubi decided to help him out "You know while it may seem cruel to have sealed me inside you Naruto your dad did care for you if you want I can show you his last moments with you since they were right before the sealing and I still remember them."

"Yeah thanks that would be nice"

FLASHBACK START

It was in the middle of the forest and there was Minato Namikaze by himself getting ready to seal the second half of the Nine-Tails inside his own son as the Kyuubi lied there watching as he was too tired from having his other half ripped out of him and sealed to stop Minato. As Minato was about to do the seal he looked at his son and decided to have last words with him before the sealing "Naruto my son I do this because there is a great evil and you will need the Nine-tails' power to beat him since I believe you can control its power but also because how could I ask some other parent to do what I would not be willing to do myself. It is my hope that you are treated like a hero but I know how the life of a jinchuriki typically is and for that I ask for you to forgive me since I will not be alive to protect you" Minato stopped talking as he let out a few tears that landed on Naruto by accident before he continued "I hope that you become powerful and that you also score a beautiful woman for a wife and have a beautiful child like I did. Watch out for your godfather Jiraiya he isn't always the greatest role model, and above all else know that I love you with all my heart and that won't ever change and that I will be watching over you always."

And as he finished he went through the hand seals for the jutsu and shouted out" Eight Trigrams Seal!"

FLASHBACK END

Naruto was standing still when the memory ended and the only sound that could be heard were a couple of tears hitting the floor until Naruto decided to speak "Thanks Kyuubi for letting me hear that I needed it and I won't hate my dad for doing what he had to do, he believed that I could take on that great evil with your help so that's exactly what we're going to do."

"Fine but for now you should go back to the real world and get some rest and know that while you were in the memory I was looking at your body so that I could make changes to it like make you taller and not a shrimp. Which I did do and it should happen while you're asleep but I'm also going to continue to look at your fire affinity and see if I missed anything.

"Alright I'll talk to you tomorrow to see how it's going." Naruto said as he left his mindscape.

XXXXX

When Naruto returned from his mindscape he immediately felt exhausted and fell asleep.

XXXXX Next Day 2:30 p.m.

As Naruto woke up he tried to walk over to his dresser. Key words were 'try to' as he fell over after his second step. Wondering what was wrong with him he went where he measured his height and noticed how he used to be four, seven and now he was five, four. Knowing that he would have to get used to his new height he tried walking again and found it much easier. He made it to his dresser when he cursed since all of his clothes were small on him. He had finally found some clothes that weren't too tight on him when there was a knock on the door. When he opened the door there was an anbu waiting for him who told him to be at the Hokage tower in ten minutes and disappeared.

Sighing Naruto walked out of his apartment and made his way for the Hokage tower.

XXXXXX Hokage Office Ten Minutes Later

The third Hokage Hiruzen, Sarutobi was at his desk cursing the pile of paperwork that never seemed to disappear when he heard someone knock on his door. Desperately wanting to do something other than paperwork he quickly told whoever was outside to come in only to see Naruto walk inside except he was several inches taller than the last time he had seen him.

Deciding to be the first one to speak the aged Hokage simply said "Naruto the reason that you are hear is that I already spoke with Iruka and he said that you were ready to graduate so I wanted to tell you that you have a week before of training before you have to go back to the academy and teams are assigned."

Naruto while glad about having a week to train but he still remembered his conversation with his tenant and wanted to talk with the old man "Gramps that's great and all but I have a few questions for you if you don't mind."

"Go ahead" Sarutobi replied curious as to what Naruto could want to talk about.

"I know that you already know that I know about the Kyuubi, he is actually the reason for this sudden growth spurt. Also I want you to answer honestly why didn't you tell me my dad was the fourth who sealed the fox inside me?" Naruto asked completely serious hoping he would get a straight answer from his surrogate grandfather.

After a couple of seconds of silence Sarutobi decided that he should be completely honest with the boy "The reason I didn't tell you was that your father had lots of enemies and I wanted to wait until you were mature and strong enough to protect yourself from any threats." He said while looking Naruto right in the eyes before continuing "You should have seen your mother and father they were both so happy when you were born do you want to hear about her?"

"Yes, I would"

"Well she was incredibly strong and no man if possible made her truly mad unless they wanted to not wake up for the next few days.

"Naruto I something I did not notice earlier it's your wind affinity. For some reason it's still there while it did change your fire affinity permanently it would seem as though you still retain the ability to use wind"

"Thanks furball we'll try it later. Talk to you later alright"

Sarutobi looked at Naruto "her name was Kushina Uzamaki and she was the Kyuubi's jinchuriki before you. As for how she died it was due to the happened during the attack after you were born and the Kyuubi was extracted from her since her seal was weak from giving birth…. I'm sorry I wish I had better news Naruto."

Naruto's response was to smile back and say that it was fine and that he would have to live up to his family reputation since he figured that his mom was strong to have been the Kyuubi's jinchuriki before him and in the academy he had learned a lot about his dad and how strong he was that people were to flee on site if they ever saw him. Naruto wanting to leave so he could start training and get new clothes he was about to leave when Sarutobi tossed him two scrolls that said Rasengan and Flying Thunder God Jutsu. To which He only added "Practice other things first like chakra control or you'll never learn your father's techniques"

Chapter 2: END

(A/N- And there is the second chapter of The Namikaze Legacy. Now as for the pairing I know I put it as a Naruto and Ino Fic but I was thinking about it and I don't really like that pairing any more so I was thinking of changing it if I can figure out how to change it into another pairing. I'm not really sure yet what the other pairing would be I'm sure I'll think of someone. Please review, favorite, and follow this story it helps me want to write the next chapter faster and tell me what you think)
