Chapter 3 – The clan and the fight.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the characters that are included in the anime series.
After Naruto chose the clan that he will join. He knew that he sealed his fate and his name with the Uchihas' however; it didn't mean he was happy with today's events.
For today he lost his mentor and his father's name and on top of all that the gods seemed hateful to him or that what he believes.
How wrong was he?
So Naruto left the council's room and waited for the head of the Uchiha clan lord Fugoku Uchiha so to accompany him to his new house. After five minutes the clan head exited the council with a scowl on his face.
'What seems to bother you Fugoku-sama?' Said Naruto
'Damn councilmen they are a prime example of pure mockery remember that Naruto'. Answered Fugoku
'I know it is not my place but care to explain' replied Naruto with a hint of curiosity in his voice.
'The Hyūga lord couldn't accept that so he issued a suggestion called the split clan.' Answered the Uchiha as he was walking
He continued 'it is a law rarely used it was created by the Shodai Hokage after the foundation of Konoha. For you see this village is hailed as one of the strongest village thus it attracted many bloodline users. So in short these people will present their case to the council and the clan heads of all the noble clans will adopt them. However there were some problems when one or more clan head fight over the adoption of this individual for they aim to strengthen their clans politically and military. Thus we come to this law it simply splits the individual it means this individual will come to agreement between the two fighting clans, but in your case the council decided that you have two choices and you have to chose one of them.' Said the Uchiha
'How come I wasn't told that and what are my choices Fugoku-sama?' the blond boy said with anger and pure malice in his voice that didn't go unnoticed by the Uchiha.
'First you weren't told is because you are still a kid and that's that. Second your choices are either you become a Hyūga and marry an Uchiha or you become an Uchiha and marry a Hyūga Your choice.' Replied the Uchiha
'I will become an Uchiha however tell the council that whom I marry is only my concern and no one will interfere with it.' Said the blond boy
After that said the Uchiha smirked and said 'I was sure you will say that and I will support you with me and the other clans we can negate the effect of this law.'
Naruto blinked and said in a confused tone 'if you knew that why you didn't stop them'.
'I wanted to test your loyalties' replied the Uchiha.
After a ten minute walking they reached the gates of the Uchiha compound and Fugoku said' you will live with my wife Mikato, she is your mothers' sister as well as your cousins which are my two children Itachi and Sasuke so behave while I go tell the Hokage your choice' And he teleported himself to the Hokage office.
With Naruto, he entered the gates and saw a huge house in excellent condition he directly knew that that house is his new home. So he headed there and knocked on the door. After a five minute wait a fair-skinned woman with long, black hair with bangs hanging on either side of her face opened the door. She wore a simple dark purple blouse with a red-plum skirt and a light-yellow apron over it. In short Naruto was stunned at her gentle look and her peaceful face, but he was captivated by her black eyes that seem to see through his soul.
'Hello child how can I help you' said Mikato.
'Good morning you must be Mikato-sama my name is Naruto' answered the boy.
'Hello Naruto please drop the formalities it is just Mikato and tell me what can I help you with?' replied the Uchiha.
'As you wish Mikato I was adopted into the Uchiha clan by Fugoku-sama' said Naruto.
'Explain now'. Mikato replied
'Do you mind if I can have a seat' said Naruto.
'Sorry do come in' said Mikato as she led him to the living room.
As Naruto sat with Mikato and before he started to tell his tale they were interrupted by boy with a black hair who was tied into a ponytail and a scar on his face.
'Hello mother who…..' but the boy never finished his sentence.
'Uchiha Itachi, age fourteen, position Anbu captain a prodigy to the Uchiha family. One of the descendents of the noble clan specialty fire techniques' said Naruto.
Itachis' eyes got wider he was surprised and shouted with anger 'who the hell are you'.
But Naruto never finished his sentence as the lord of the Uchiha clan Fugoku appeared and said 'Naruto Uchiha Namikaze son of Sara Uchiha and the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze. Cousin to both my sons'
Everyone felt the tension in the room until Mikato rushed the boy and hugged him crying as she looked at him and said 'your resemblance to my sister is clear as day I don't know how I couldn't have seen it.'
However she was interrupted by her husband saying 'you didn't see the resemblance because you don't want to remember the past do you?'
'What do you mean by the past Fugoku-sama?' Asked Naruto
'My wife is very protective of the people she cares about them in an exaggerative way. You see when your father married Sara, Mikato abandoned her own sister because she thought that Sara had forsaken her. Isn't that right dear' Asked Fugoku with a smirk on his face.
'yes it is true and after she died I missed her but it was too late to do anything I even felt bad because with everything I have done to her she still cared for me and loved me. Oh god I have been so stupid I know you are angry with me Naruto but can you find it in your heart to forgive your aunt.' Said Mikato in a broken voice followed by sobs.
Until Naruto walked to Mikato and knelt beside her and raised her chin and then proceeded to wipe the tears with his hands and hugged her and said 'you are forgiven there shall be no problems with my new family we shall start a new page.'
At the same time a boy with black hair that resembles the duck-butt entered the house and stared at the scene but didn't got the chance to speak since his father interrupted him and said 'Sasuke and Itachi meet your long lost cousin Naruto Uchiha Namikaze'.
He continued saying 'Itachi prepare yourself for a fight for you will test your cousins skill in front the village council after three hours don't be late. In the mean time why don't you Naruto bond with Sasuke?'
'Ok Fugoku-sama we shall go outside come cousin' said Naruto.
Both boys went outside and sat under a tree in silence until Sasuke said 'did you unlock your Sharingan cousin'.
'Yes I did although it took me hell to reach to my current level.' He answered as he pushed chakra to his eyes. They transformed from blue to red with three black tomoe spinning wildly until they stopped.
Sasuke was startled but he made a mistake and said 'that is not the last level of the Sharingan actually only my brother achieved the last level. His eyes they spin forming a pinwheel and he will against you cousin.' And he laughed at his joke
Were as Naruto thought that Itachi was able to activate his Mangekyō Sharingan and said 'cousin can you keep a secret?'
'Yes Naruto I can after all I didn't tell my father about Itachi at the same time I will not tell them about your secret so what is it?'
'I am like Itachi' said Naruto.
'What do you mean cousin' Sasuke said in a curious voice.
While his Sharingan was activated he pushed more chakra and the three tomoe were spinning until they stopped forming a shuriken and stared at Sasuke.
Sasuke was astonished his cousin was at the same level like Itachi 'yours are much cooler then my brother. Don't worry your secret is safe with me but someday you will show me what you can do.'
After hours these boys bonded and became friends until they disturbed by the head of the Uchiha clan that took him along with his son to the arena.
Now Konoha was a peaceful village that loved to watch two people fighting especially if the fighters were of the noble clans. The stands were full at the same every clan head that have daughters told them to try to catch the attention the blond since he was a Uchiha and a Namikaze and you know from that day Naruto had a huge number of fan girls.
Back to the arena two fighters were there one the prodigy of the Uchiha clan and the other was the son of the fourth standing face to face.
At the same time both activated their Sharingan and dashed towards each other and started trading blows when Naruto landed four hits on Itachis ' arm rendering it paralyzed he was startled and jumped to the other side but Naruto was hot at his heels and delivered an open palm to his stomach that paralyzed it and caught his arm and he put it on his shoulder (think like the chokslam) and lifted him and smashed him to the ground and the sound was heard all over the arena then there was a pop signifying that Naruto was fighting a clone.
'That was scary cousin so we will move to Ninjutsu shall we.' Said Itachi
He received a nod and both went through the same hand signs and shouted 'fire style: giant fire ball' and two fireballs were released and connected but that of Itachi surpassed that of Naruto that jumped into the sky and performed may hand seals but what surprised the Uchihas is that they couldn't copy it and they heard the name of the jutsu "fire style: fox redemption".
And a fox formed from fire headed toward Itachi who performed again the fire ball technique to try to stop the fox however it didn't stop the fox it continued and smashed through Itachi that rolled on the ground trying to stop the fire from consuming him until it stopped and Itachi was left shirtless and they heard a squeal that said marry me Itachi.
Naruto knew that he only had little chakra so he performed his ace card and shouted 'wind style: fall of the gods".
And the skies darkened and soon compressed wind balls fell down from the skies and smashed through the arena and Itachi wave after wave was dodged until they stopped and saw that the arena destroyed and Itachi was breathing really hard and he was scared shitless and Naruto was on his knees and said 'cousin that was my ace I knew I couldn't win it appears that you have put me in shame you win'.
And he blacked out. Not knowing that Itachi was knocked out
