Sorry haven't updated in awhile, busy with tests, exams, essays, and applications for school.
I'll try to update more often.
Recap:
"H...how" was the only response the both could utter staring at the little boy in front of them with wide eyes.
For a brief moment Naruto looked away from them his eyes closed then began to speak "I've known....or rather suspected it after one day looking at you family album Shiro –ojisan......I may not look like her really, her having raven coloured hair that almost looked red in the sun light or her coal black eyes" he paused turning his face slightly towards them and slowly began to open his eyes "but I can never forget the first thing I saw with these eyes, being her holding me in her arms in the hospital bed smiling down at me" he finished his eyes now fully open to reveal two blood red eyes with two small black commas spinning wildly in both eyes of the almost two year old.
Truth Revealed and The Departure
Shiro and the Sandaime looked into Naruto's eyes in shock. Never have they heard of, at the age of barely two activating a kekagenki let alone having it almost complete like the ones that they saw in the boys eyes.
After a few minutes they had recomposed themselves and thought back to what they had just learned "but I can never forget the first thing I saw with these eyes, being her holding me in her arms in the hospital bed smiling down at me". They looked back at Naruto with a sad and understanding look, knowing how hard it was to see the face of some you love, yet not being able to have known them personally or even get a chance to speak with them.
"Hehehehe....He really is a prodigy, just like his parents were. My boy if your parents saw you now, standing here they would have been proud at having your kekagenki activated to such a degree at such a young age" thought Sarutobi as he continued to look into Naruto's spinning eyes.
"Ahem..." coughed out Sarutobi to get their attention. "I see, so that is how you know who your mother is, correct Naruto –kun?" Naruto nodded "Alright then, open the letter and read what your mother has written to you okay?" Sarutobi said.
Naruto nodded once more and opened the scroll which was sealed with a blood seal. Biting his thumb he wiped some of his blood on the seal and it began to glow then stopped and the seal disappeared. Seeing this he opened the scroll and began to read what it said.
To my son,
If you are reading this then most likely I and your father are no longer of this world. As sad as it is to hear this I want you to know that we love you very much and will watch over you even though we cannot be with you in body, but we will in spirit.
Since you are reading this letter it means my otouto is taking you on a little trip and you had agreed to go. I'm very proud of you; I have been and always will be proud of you no matter what you do or what happens. My fondest memory was when you had activated the sharingan and looked at me with it and stated to giggle and smile.
I will always treasure that memory my little prodigy.
Love you forever and always,
Your Mother,
Kushina Uchiha
Tears started to spill from his eyes as he read the letter. A hand gently came around him and he felt himself going into an embrace. When Naruto looked up he saw Shiro hugging him and he felt his hand gently rub his back while whispering "Shhhhh.....it's okay" over and over again.
Sarutobi watched the display with a sad look; having known the boy to rarely show his emotions knew that he truly was like his father had once told him before he had passed on, a true king.
After a few moments Shiro let go of Naruto as he wiped the tears from his face and turned to face the Sandaime and Shiro who was once more standing next to the Sandaime.
"I...I...'sniff'...apologize for the interruption Sandaime –sama" said Naruto still sniffling.
"That's alright...since you have agreed to go with Shiro I grant you both my permission to leave the village when you are ready to leave." Sandaime paused and was about to continue when the clock on his wall chimed 8 times indicating it was now 8 o'clock, after the clock finished he continued "Ah...it's 8, now Naruto I think it is time to tell you why I had asked Shiro to bring you here in your formal cloths."
He paused again, then stood up and began to talk once more "The reason is that we, the three of us will be dining at the Hyuga main house as Hiashi has invited Shiro and I there, but I has also informed them that Shiro would be bringing his young charge with him, the young charge being you Naruto. Do you now understand why I had asked that you wear your formal cloths?"
He nodded and with that the three left the Hokage tower and headed towards the Hyuga main house to have dinner with the current head of the clan Hiashi.
(Time skip 1 week later: Village Northern Gates)
"I see you two are ready to leave" said an old voice talking to the two people at the gates with bags on their backs.
The sun was setting and three people stood at the gates, a small blond boy, a tall raven haired man, and the Hokage.
"Yes, were leaving. Hopefully we'll see you in three years" replied the raven haired man.
And with that said the man and the boy left through the gates going farther and farther into the setting sun. The Hokage watched as their backs became nothing but tiny shadows in the forest. They both would not be seen until three years later when the little boy was slowly turning into a child destined for great things.
