Chapter 3: Meeting Grandmother and the beginning of intense training


"…H-Hitomi Uzumaki." Naruto stuttered looking directly at the women in front of him. Naruto could tell she looked exactly the same as the picture that Madara had shown him when he four. Her blood red hair was flowing behind her until it reached mid length and her sharp amethyst eyes were glowing with immense power. Naruto examined her clothing, she wore a sleeveless vibrant silver Kosode which curved around her luscious body in a way that made her even more beautiful. The Kosode was attached to her skirt with a Obi-slash. The skirt just about reached her mid-thigh allowing Naruto to see her long smooth creamy legs. She wore a pair of ninja sandals and bandages that just went above her ankles.

Hitomi slowly looked at the boy in front of him, she knew he was examining her and the fact that he knew who she was proved that he was some type of relative. She spoke softly "What is your name kid."

Naruto said slowly "I am Uchiha Uzumaki Naruto."

Hitomi's eyes slowly narrowed as she scanned the boy over, she could tell he was already trained enough to say he could beat a group of Genin and even give a low Chunin a run for their money. His body was already in a fighting stance with his feet on their toes showing that he was ready to attack or run if anything were to happen. She asked politely "Are you by any chance related to Uchiha Madara."

Naruto looked at his grandmother with a stoic look that would have made any Aburame jealous, he said "Hai, Uchiha Madara is grandfather and you are my grandmother."

The women's eyes widened in shock as she looked at her so called grandson but now that she looked at him she could see that his hair style was similar to Madara but he had red Uzumaki hair. She thought 'I never thought that it would be my grandson who would unseal me but I should have known it was very unlikely that Kushina-chan would unseal me but why is he not in Konoha with his parents unless Madara took him or something along those lines.'

She said softly "Naruto can you tell me where your parents are or how you ended up in my secret bunker."

Naruto shifted uncomfortably, Madara had told him never to talk about the fact that he had been taken him from his parents to any person and whilst he didn't trust this woman as she could have been just be a trap deployed by Iwa to kill off his mother or another living Uzumaki. He said in a neutral voice "How do I know I can trust you because for all I know you could be some sort of death trap made by Iwagakure and if that is the case know that I will fight till my last breath."

Hitomi giggled when she saw his expression, it reminded her so much of Tobirama's when she used to visit her sister in Konoha. She replied "Oh you're a brave one but you of all people should know that this is the real me after all Iwa could never make a seal that could store a dead person's soul as well as using the person who summoned me blood to make an empty blood clone that the soul would inhabit after being released. I only asked you that question because I wanted to know whether my daughter was with you, I just wanted to say hi and speak a little before I die for real this time."

Naruto replied neutrally "Madara took me from my parents when I was born, I have a twin sister who was chosen to be the jinchuriki of the Kyuubi. Sarutobi Hiruzen sealed one half into my mother whilst the other into my twin sister. Madara decided to train someone as his heir and chose me instead of my sister since he believed that I have more potential."

Hitomi nodded thanking Naruto for answering her question, she thought to herself 'So why would Madara choose Naruto over his granddaughter who is a Jinchuriki. There has to be a reason, the sharingan could be awakened by both of them couldn't it.'

She used her well developed Mind's eye of Kagura sensing technique which through practice had been amplified to the point where she could tell a person natural affinities and the amount of spiritual and physical chakra within their body. She scanned Naruto trying to find any clues; at first nothing she found nothing apart from the fact that he had an elemental affinity for Fire, Earth, Lightning and Water. She then found that the boy had a very high amount of Yang chakra with in his body which continuously increased his chakra reserves, the Yang chakra also gave the boy a very high healing factor similar to that of Hashirama's but she would guess it was a bit better. However these things alone wouldn't make Madara pick Naruto since she knew he didn't know about the boy's elemental affinities because his chakra wasn't exactly fully intone with said elements.

She scanned him again from head to toe leaving nothing to chance and this time she found quite a lot of small details that proved the boy would be more powerful than even a jinchuriki, she found that his body's spiritual chakra was immense more powerful than anything then she had ever seen. Every person had a certain amount of spiritual energy within their body when they are born even civilians. Shinobi would increase the amount of spiritual chakra through experience or meditations. The Uzumaki and the Senju clans were usually born with a high amount of physical/Yang chakra allowing them to be physically superior to most clans apart from the Kaguya clan who had bone as strong as tempered steel. The problem is that unless a Shinobi had the rinnegan they would either have a really high physical amount of chakra but a medium amount of spiritual chakra; it was rare for a person to have a high yin and yang chakra. This is because you will end up training one over the other and this was the reason why most Genjutsu specialists were really bad with Taijutsu or Kenjutsu since they were more specialised with spiritual/Yin attacks than physical ones. The rinnegan or the sharingan were a special case since the Sharingan would naturally increase someone's spiritual reserves and the Rinnegan made both equal to each other. This boy however was different his Spiritual chakra was immense in size but it didn't seemed to be coming just from his mind but a small circular object in his chest. The boy's high Yang and Yin also meant he would be able to mix elements together, she would do more tests on the boy but she had neither the equipment nor the time to do so.

She sighed and thought 'Well that was inclusive, I guess Madara decided he wanted a boy as his heir unless he though the sharingan would be blocked within his granddaughter. Of course the seal I put on Kushina blocked off her Uchiha blood but I made it specifically for a female and since it worked on a cellular level. It would most likely block the Uchiha DNA within any female offspring that Kushina had. I guess it is actually better if they don't activate the sharingan, otherwise Konoha would try to make Kushina and her daughter a breeding stock '

After a few moments of thinking, she looked at Naruto who was just sitting on a circular boulder. He looked bored and that was then she realised that she must have been so deep into her thoughts she didn't realise how much time had passed. She said "Gomen Naruto-kun I didn't think I zoned out for that long."

"Zoned out? It was more like you were stuck in a coma except that you were standing instead of a hospital bed. I tried making you snap out of it but after a few minutes I gave up thinking you died or something."

Hitomi blushed slightly before she said "Well I am really sorry but I want to ask a question."

"What is it?"

"What is your dream, Naruto-kun?"

Naruto looked down with sad eyes, "My dream is to rebuild Uzushiogakure and return it back to its former glory."

Hitomi smiled as she heard her grandson's dream thankful that the curse of hatred didn't turn into a quest for vengeance. She had finally found the one who would carry on the legacy of all of her dead clansmen. "Come with me." She ordered Naruto.

Naruto nodded, he jumped off the massive boulder and landed softly on the ground. He followed his grandmother who led him to the same place where he found the seal. She touched the wall and whispered "Open." causing a large rectangular chunk of the wall to fall to the ground. She then walked through the hole in the wall entering a room that was twenty times bigger than the room they were previously in. The room was lighted by four flame torches placed in each corner of the room.

Naruto stood there wide eyed as he looked around the room which was filled with different types of weapons ranging from crossbows to naginata's. The weapons were stacked in racks that were all made to hold one specific type of weapon. The racks were located in the sides of the room making the centre free. In the middle of the room was a huge a scroll that was on a podium which was surrounded by a large seal matrix. Naruto knew what it the scroll was, it was Uzushiogakure's Fuin no Sho (Scroll of Seals) and according to Madara it was created by the first Uzumaki clansmen and they decided to document every jutsu and seal that the Uzumaki made as long as the clan's member agree to it. It should easily contain more than a thousand Fuinjutsu techniques as well an array of Kenjutsu and Ninjutsu techniques.

He watched as Hitomi stood just outside the seal matrix whilst weaving handseals, she turned to him and said "You will have to wait a while Naruto-chan it's going to take a while for me to break this seal around the scroll. You may look around who knows you might a weapon you like. "

Naruto nodded before trudging off in no real direction since he was not familiar with this cavern. He slowly examined weapons of all sorts seeing which one would love to have. He went past the stave section and since his grandfather was going to give him his own Gunbai he decided not to take any bBo-staffs or anything similar. Naruto finally reached the sword section, he roamed through the hundreds of different types of swords from Tanto's to Nodachi's. Naruto so badly wanted to get a bladed weapon but Madara told him that in order for a person to wield a weapon to its maximum capacity one must feel as though the weapon is a part of themselves and so far Naruto couldn't feel a weapon that felt like a part of him each of them were dull and so not his type.

He was about to give up search when a piercing light entered his peripheral vision, he turned and saw two katana's in a X like fashion. The first katana had a dark purple handle and a circular hand guard and the second Katana had a green handle with a hexagonal tsuba and was a little bit less shorter than the first. To Naruto they looked like ordinary blades but those thoughts came to an end when he found a note underneath the swords.

Naruto squinted and read what was on the wall; 'These sentient katana's were given to the first Uzumaki clan leaders as a gift by the Shinigami. No one has ever wielded it after them and no one has definitely activated the sentient beings within the sword. Be warned young Uzumaki for if you try to grab the swords and you aren't worthy of wielding them, you will die.'

Naruto sighed and thought 'Hmm what should I do, I fell a slight connection to these swords almost as if they are trying to call out to me but if I aren't worthy I will probably die a horrendous death.' After a few moments he decided to take the risk, he grabbed a ladder from beside him and positioned it in front of the two blades. He slowly climbed up the ladder before he grabbed the hilt of the two blades and ripped them from the wall. He felt the two blades vibrate and hum before he felt a huge pain erupt from within his chest knocking him off the ladder. The last thing he remembered was hearing Hitomi shouting his name before he entered a blissful sleep.

His eyes slowly opened, he looked around his surroundings finding that he was still in the same room. Hitomi said "Thank kami you're awake. What were you thinking trying to get those swords you could have died?"

He chuckled with a raspy voice "I didn't die though and I got two powerful weapons so I guess its win win situation for me."

Hitomi shook her head "Just like Madara, you should go back before he comes looking for you." She helped Naruto up and gave him the huge scroll. "This scroll contains every technique that Uzushiogakure ever created from Fuinjutsu to Ninjutsu." Her body began to glow as she said to Naruto "You are the last Uzumaki, Naruto. My last wish to you is for you to show the world what an Uzumaki can truly do and for you to bring us back to our former glory. Please Naruto-kun I beg of you don't give in to your hatred as it will only cause destruction and turmoil to those that are precious to you." With those last words Hitomi's body dispersed in a shower of golden light which mesmerised the boy looking it at them.

Naruto eyes then hardened as he slung the heavy scroll wincing at how much pressure it put on his shoulder. Naruto walked through the rectangular hole but was surprised that the room enclosed itself again, he suddenly stopped when he realised he had no idea how to get back up to his grandfather. He shrugged and decided to go with the flow after all there was no in hell he was going to tell Zetsu where this cavern was since he was sure there was more secrets the Uzumaki left behind.

Half an Hour later, a triumphant Naruto made his way to the outside training ground where he was surprisingly being waited by Madara, he saw that he had been gone for a few hours as the sun was setting. Madara raised a slow eyebrow when he saw his grandson having a huge scroll slung around his shoulder and two swords in his hands. At first he didn't recognise either of these objects but as Naruto came closer Madara had a better view and could see the intricate patterns around the Katana and scroll. Madara shook his amusedly "Well I see you found that cavern didn't you, I didn't know they stored the scroll there."

Naruto said "Hai and I met grandma Hitomi or at least an astral form of her. She told me to take the forbidden scroll and that I was to return the Uzumaki Clan to glory."

Madara growled and narrowed his eyes as much as his body would allow him to, he said "Is that what you believe Naruto, look around you this is the only hospitable peace of land left in this island. Yes you may be able to break the barrier dome and you may be able to return the land back to what it used to be but there are only a dozen Uzumaki left on the planet so unless you plan on marrying two dozen women then you aren't bringing the clan back in your lifetime."

"Naruto they killed us brutally, raped and mutilated pregnant women, killed innocent children and babies whilst leaving us with this barren wasteland that holds the secrets of one of the most powerful clans in the history of the elemental nations. So tell me Naruto do you really believe that they should be let off so easily, do you really believe that it is fair for them to prosper peacefully when they condemned this clan your clan to such torture. " Naruto gritted his teeth and even though he was a 5 year old he knew what pregnancy and mutilation however he was clueless as to what rape was and he really didn't want to find out. Madara's speech of what befell his clan had opened the door that held a lot of rage, the rage vibrated through his being with such intensity that Naruto could only see red however he still kept his calm to a point where he could ask a question.

"What would you have me do then Madara-Jiji?"

Madara smiled and said to his grandson "Take the war to them and let them feel true despair and hopelessness. "

Naruto shook his head "No that will only make me the monster, I want the clan born in a world where they are free to do as they wish and starting a war with three of the great nations will only brand me as this world's worst enemy and destroyer."

Madara frowned at Naruto's answer. He wasn't disappointed at it but rather annoyed that his grandson didn't want revenge at what had happened to the Uzumaki clan. Then an idea popped up he would make Naruto complete the project Tsuki no Me. "Naruto it's time I tell you about Tsuki No Me."

"Tsuki No Me...What is that?"

"It's better if I start from the beginning. Long ago there was a woman her name was Kaguya Otsutsuki…" Grandfather and grandson spent the next few hours speaking about the plan, Madara liked how this was going, Obito would be dead and Naruto would complete the plan. He had quite literally killed two birds with one stone.


A/N chapter done for now, next chapter will be a time skip of five years and Madara will die so there's that. I hope you enjoyed the story and I am sorry for the terrible update length, I have been extremely busy and all, also this chapter is extremely dull so sorry for that but starting from next chapter it will be Naruto leaving Uzushiogakure and making his way through the world. I want to ask whether I should actually show the years he trained in chapters like one chapter is dedicated to year one of training or do you want me to just do a time skip and do flashbacks.
