Chapter 4
Hiruzen watched through his crystal ball the operation bewildered at the strange discovery. 'How on earth did this happen to Naruto, could this have happened before he was born or was it around when he died?'
Questions rolled through his mind but the door to his office suddenly swung open. In walked the slug princess with an annoyed expression and a vein about to pop on her forehead.
"Sensei seal the room, now" not wasting any time he instantly pulled the silencing seal up "Okay now you can tell me why that boy has an extra organ."
Tsunade pulled out folders with dozens of pictures of Naruto's x-rays, operating photos of his insides and a few charts about his samples they could get.
"Tsunade I can tell you with one hundred percent certainty that Naruto never had that organ before today" going over the boy's chart he brought out an old folder "this shows he was completely normal before, see."
Holding the CT scan looking for the odd organ but finding nothing "then how the hell does someone grow a new organ" Tsunade threw the scan onto the table and went straight for the Hokage's secret stash of sake.
"How the hell do you know about that?"Hiruzen said as he quickly hid the spot again making sure Sheska never saw it.
"I've been drinking far more than you old man, I can smell sake in a three-mile radius" quickly pouring two cups she held one out to the Hokage who took it without hesitation.
"Do you have any idea what that organ does" drinking the sake in one gulp he quickly went for a second cup "also why was he paralysed in the first place?"
Tsunade was already halfway finished with the bottle by the old man's second cup but continued "It seems to store chakra but that chakra was heavier and far wilder than the boy's actual chakra, but he was paralysed because of this."
Pulling out bag holding a thin splinter she dropped it onto the old man's desk "so this broke off something and lodged itself in Naruto."
"Yep, this piece wood looks invisible when scanned in a human body so the splinter embedded itself in his spine causing the paralysis, for those doctors to miss this is pathetic," Tsunade said as she finished the bottle "so what now Old man, making me the head of the hospital."
Hirusen brought out an envelope and threw it at Tsunade who caught it easily "that's an address, a bank account, shinobi forms for all three of you and form to take Naruto into your custody."
Tsunade chocked at the news but quickly composed herself and read the pieces of papers "Why would I take care of that..." Tsunade was about to continue but the Hokage brought out a strange cylinder.
Most of it was glass apart from the top and bottom but floating within the liquid was an eye, unlike anything she had ever seen before "I need you to make sure Naruto is safe and that this eye is safe for him."
Hiruzen went over what he had done with attacking Orochimaru, raiding his base, stealing the eye, and calling both Sanin for one boy.
"Have you gone senile old man, all of this for one boy, why would you do this for one brat" Tsunade snapped at the old man but what looked back wasn't an old man but the god of shinobi.
"Naruto has sacrificed everything for us and the village, he's been the chew toy of the civilians for years, been abandoned by his own generation and has nothing left to his name," Tsunade looked out to the village wondering if they were capable of something so inhuman as to slowly destroy one little boy.
"So this is your way of repaying him for all of his pain and suffering" the Hokage simply nodded as he walked towards the picture of Minato.
"I swore I would protect Naruto for this man and when Naruto died it opened my eyes, this village is dying on the inside and I need to fix that" he walked back to his seat and simply looked back to Tsunade.
"Will you help me, if not for me then do it for Kushina?" Tsunade bit her lip at that because when she left she also left her friend Kushina who probably needed her more than ever.
"Fine I'll take care of him but I want to only work at the hospital and I want a raise" Hiruzen nodded and deactivated the seal across the room.
"Please take care of him Tsunade and if he want's to know the truth then bring him to me and I'll tell him everything, he's earned that" Tsunade nodded as she went back to the hospital.
Jiraiya and Scar had moved to a secure environment so they could focus to decipher the notes left behind for Scar. So we find the two focusing on something of grave importance.
"Why did you drag me to the bathhouse?" Scar knew from Tsunade that the toad Sanin was a lech and would do research regularly with many establishments across the nation.
But to see one of the most legendary men be nothing more than a pervy old man and the lady Tsunade be nothing more than a drunk gambler was rather disappointing.
"This is research, my friend, I am a writer and a writer needs inspiration from fresh new sources regularly" cloaked in an invisibility Jutsu Jiraiya poked his head further over the wall.
"I thought you said we would decipher the notes together, not perv on innocent women" Scar stood up and began to walk away leaving the old man to do his perving.
"Aw come on Scar, you're gonna miss the best bit..." before he could continue a hand came down to his shoulder. Shakily looking up he saw one woman that could scare any man.
"Well well well, I thought Jiraiya of the Sanin came to Konoha" standing before Jiraiya was Anko Mitarashi and she wasn't alone.
Every woman in the bathhouse had come around still dripping from the hot water "what say we welcome you home right girls." And so, many women of Konoha had their turn turning Jiraiya many shades of green, purple even dark red with the help of torture techniques from Anko her self for hours.
Walking away from the scene of the crime, Scar idly wondered why such a man would do something so strange. "Now I know why they say never meet your hero's" looking up at the Hokage monument he wondered what the Hokage's was like.
In a flash, an Anbu appeared before him "are you Scar, an associate of Tsunade Senju if you are she has requested your presence" Scar nodded and vanished with the Anbu towards the clan district.
Tsunade stood beside Shizune marvelling at the sight before them. The Senju compound was, to put it bluntly huge. When it was built the Senju numbered in the low hundreds.
But after the loss of Hashirama and Tobirama, the Senju were picked off one by one for retribution from other villagers, from envious ninja from within and a myriad of other problems.
Finally, the Senju was widdled down to one in this huge decrepit, dilapidating old relic of a house. "Well at least we have a lot of room," Shizune said trying to see the benefits.
"let's face it Shizune, this place is a dump" slowly walking up to the main door, she pushed it open but the entire door fell back into the house.
"Well this place has seen better days" Tsunade and Shizune looked back to see Scar walking towards them with their bags and an Anbu carrying pieces of paper.
"The Hokage wants you to sign these as soon as possible please" Shizune took the papers and the Anbu vanished leaving the three of them to the ancient Senju compound.
"Wait can't we hire a bunch of Genin to clean the place up?" Shizune piped up but looked saw Tsunade still frowning looking at the compound.
"If we did we'd need dozens of teams, a lot of money which we don't actually have and there are secrets here that I'm not gonna let a snot-nosed brat touch, no we do this our selves," Tsunade said as she put down everything and started to roll up her sleeves.
Scar followed suit and started by dragging the door out, Shizune went to find the supplies to fix up or rebuild the building and Tsunade made sure all of the Senju secrets were secure.
"Tsunade, how are you sure that no one broke in and stole everything, this place doesn't really have any security" Tsunade scoffed and started patting the walls.
"Firstly you only got in because I took the Senju barrier down before and they are very well hidden inside that only a Senju could find them" Tsunade carried on tapping parts on the wall until she stopped near the end of the hall.
Pushing chakra into the wall showed black lines swirling around the wall revealing a huge seal. As the seal faded the door appeared and swung open revealing a small room filled with scrolls with a staircase going down.
"I'll stay on top and tell Shizune where you are, also clear up the place a bit, what are you gonna do down there?" Tsunade didn't say anything as she walked down to the secret stairs leaving Scar to ponder what the hell did he had dragged himself into.
Unbeknownst to anyone Tsunade had already taken all of the Senju secrets with her when she had left all those years ago. What she needed was a secure room to test whatever the hell Orochimaru had made that Hiruzen wanted to put in Naruto now.
Back in the hospital, Naruto started to wake up. Groaning from the bright light from the outside he shielded his eyes with his hand. Shocked he pulled the sheets to make sure every part of his body worked.
"Okay Legs, I've still got legs, Good, Arms, Hands..." too wrapped up in finally moving he didn't notice the doctors walking in. Led by doctor Marcoh hold his charts and a trolley of boxes.
"Mr Uzumaki it's a pleasure to see you back on your feet" Naruto stopped and finally sat still on his bed before doctor Marcoh "If you're anything like the rumours then you must be famished after so long."
Naruto's belly wanted a say in this and rumbled in agreement "Heh I guess I could go for a few bowls of ramen" Naruto saw the trolley roll up next to him and from the scent alone he knew what they held.
"Sorry Naruto, we couldn't get you ramen but I did get you this" opening the boxes he revealed dozens of bento's "now after you eat we need to do some minor tests to see if you are properly healed..."
Before doctor Marcoh could finish Naruto literally lept at the trolley devouring the bento's. The doctor could only watch in both awe and slight disgust as Naruto ate whole bento's in one go "seems you're already back to you're old self, reminds me of Kushina."
Doctor Marcoh whispered to himself as Naruto finished the last of the boxes "So doc what do we do now?" Since they had just watched the boy eat a few dozen bento in a few seconds they decided to forego most of the tests.
"Well we believe you are perfectly healthy right now Mr Uzumaki but we'll just do a couple to make sure." So after a couple of short tests, Naruto was left on his own, so with nothing left to do Naruto meditated.
Shimmering into existence within his mindscape Naruto made his way towards the cage. "So what should we start with now foxy, start my Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, prep me for Senjutsu or should we relax?"
Kurama stayed quiet focusing 'Naruto needs someone in the real world to help train with, maybe that old man can help but the first thing we need to fix is Taijutsu'. Kurama stood up and made his way to a shelf which Naruto had mad as a representation of all of his knowledge personified into books and scrolls and thanks to Kurama they had quadrupled in the last few days.
Going to a section on Taijutsu he found very little and since he was a Bijuu he didn't know any fighting techniques. "The first thing you need is to learn how to fight so Taijutsu which is something you'll have to ask that old man about, I can help you with some Ninjutsu as well as that sage stuff along with mastering my chakra."
Naruto stood beside Kurama looking at what he knew. Most of the books before him held mostly history as well as some current events but when it came to applying to his fighting prowess they were mostly useless "So after Taijutsu what are we gonna do?"
Kurama knew after watching over the boy and looking inside and out of him that Naruto had a wind affinity thanks to his father but Naruto also had a small affinity for water thanks to Kushina. Then there was the bloodline he had "after Taijutsu, we'll look into your bloodline ability or your elemental affinity."
Naruto nodded and took a book of the Uzumaki chakra chains as well as their healing abilities "So I can shoot cool looking chains out of me?"
Kurama chuckled 'every kid only likes the flashy stuff even after all these years' Kurama nodded "yeah yah brat you can shoot cool looking chains."
Naruto and Kurama talked about what they were going to do in the coming years while they waited for the Hokage. Tsunade had been informed as well as Jiraiya that Naruto had made a full recovery.
So all three legendary Shinobi found each other on the road to the hospital "doctor Marcoh told me he's perfectly healthy, almost too perfect but I digress" Hiruzen chuckled as he walked side by side with his students "now that this is all settled we can plan for the future with no hesitations."
Both Sanin nodded and opened the hospital doors, marching up the long confusing corridors and the winding staircases they found Naruto's room. Jiraiya opened the door and all three saw something they hadn't seen for many years.
Naruto was meditating on his bed in the lotus position but what astounded the ninja was the red cloak surrounding him. No one moved as if a mere twitch could set off the raging beast that lay within the boy.
Naruto had been so engrossed in spending time with Kurama that he had subconsciously called fourth his chakra as a way to connect better with the fox. But in connecting more mentally with Kurama he had allowed his body to use the chakra as well.
Naruto had his senses on as he talked with Kurama and both of them knew they weren't alone anymore. Naruto opened his eyes to see the old man, the old toad Sanin and the slug princess staring at him like he had killed a few hundred people here and now.
"Hey there old man, look I'm back," Naruto said as he jumped off the bed and landed right in front of the Hokage. This snapped all three out of their stupor, Tsunade knew this could happen and moved to scan Naruto's seal.
"Why are you doing that, didn't you fix me already?" Tsunade didn't listen as she continued to scan for any breach in the seal but found nothing, Jiraiya crouched down as well and started his own scans.
"Naruto, do you know what just happened to you?" Hiruzen said as he motioned the Anbu the come down "And what the hell were you doing letting this happen?"
All three Anbu held their heads down as the Hokage berated them "I'm sorry lord third but what happened just now only happened for a few minutes and we didn't know what to do, we also sensed all three of you entering so we thought it best to leave this in your capable hands, sir."
Naruto was getting pissed off that no one was actually listening to him, subconsciously drawing on Kurama's chakra Naruto flared the power outward pushing both the Sanin back and shocking everyone "Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?"
Looking down on to his hands Naruto finally saw the Bijuu cloak all Jinchuriki had "Whoa." Naruto waved his hand around watching the aura move with his hand and slowly disappear into his flesh. 'Looks like you're getting a handle on using my chakra, hah you should see their faces' Kurama snickered as all of the people there gaped at Naruto controlling the Kyuubi chakra.
"Naruto how are you doing that?" Jiraiya said as he neared the boy "the last time someone used that chakra it took them months to even use a fraction of what you're using."
Naruto knew he meant his mother "You're talking about my mom right" again everyone went slack-jawed at the boy using unstable chakra and talking about someone he shouldn't know anything about "about the chakra, well I kind just use it like my normal chakra."
Jiraiya lept at the seal making sure it wasn't breached and the Kyuubi wasn't getting out but found nothing, not a trace of a crack or a split in the perfect seal "How are you doing that Naruto, I mean to do this you would have to have the Kyuubi's consent to use his chakra."
"Naruto have you met the Kyuubi?" Hiruzen spoke quietly as he neared the boy before him "it is a monster that has killed hundreds of us so don't trust a word it says."
Naruto was getting angry again and calling on more of the fox's chakra "why shouldn't I trust Kurama, he's told me the truth while you lied to me all these years, I asked you time after time about my parents but you knew my parents and you lied to me."
Hiruzen hesitated to step forward, slowly backing into a chair he sat defeated by one sentence 'you lied to me'. "Naruto I did it to protect you, if people found out then you would be hunted across the elemental nations, please understand me I did it to protect you from those that would take advantage of you."
Naruto knew this already but need this from the old man who he trusted more than anyone. "I know you wanted to protect me but you could've sat me down and explained it was for my protection instead of lying to me for all these years."
"And you, my father was your student, practically a son yet I have never even heard of you before what happened a few days ago" Jiraiya held his head down just like his sensei "you guys say I shouldn't trust the Kyuubi but how can I trust any of you."
Hiruzen knew that with all of the lies they had formed over the years that trust in the shinobi world was a precious commodity but when shattered could be lost forever "please Naruto give us a second chance, let us redeem our selves."
Naruto stood there looking at the men almost begging for forgiveness, the slug princess watching from the side with the Anbu by her side "from now on don't hide things from me completely, if you need to keep a secret then tell me it is, don't try and keep me in the dark."
Hiruzen knew he hadn't been forgiven but had at least a chance to redeem himself. With a quick command, everyone there vanished to the Hokage office with Naruto being taken by the Anbu.
Arriving in the office in a matter of minutes they went to their places. Hiruzen sat at his desk with both Sanin standing by his side and the Anbu went to their hidden spots. Naruto was plopped down onto the chair in front of Hiruzen still dizzy from the quick jump to the office.
"Now Naruto we need to discuss what is going to happen to you in the coming years as well as that eye you lost" Naruto had completely forgotten about his lost sight because of all of the other shit like his parents, Kurama, his powers and all of the history the Kyuubi crammed into his head.
Rubbing where his left eye used to be "So am I getting like a glass eye or something" Naruto chuckled as he pictured himself wearing an eyepatch.
"No Naruto, I have procured a special eye that Tsunade is checking over, so Tsunade how is it going on your end" Tsunade brought a scroll out of her sleeve and showed it to the Hokage.
"This Doujutsu is like nothing I've ever seen before, this eye has capabilities just like the Sharingan it also draws on the same chakra as Naruto's extra organ. Since there's snake summons blood in this whoever takes this will be immune to everything but the most deadly of poisons." Tsunade said as she finally brought out the canister holding the eye.
"Naruto, this eye will help you get stronger and I think no one deserves this more than you" moving the eye so Naruto could see it, he stepped forward and looked at the strange serpent circled in the centre.
"Also Jiraiya, Tsunade and one of my most trusted Anbu will be teaching you now and then to help prepare you for the challenges in the future," Hiruzen said as he brought out scroll after scroll filled with Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu and others such as Fuinjutsu.
Naruto stared at all of the stuff handed to him, the pile of training he now had almost towered over him "don't forget my present" Jiraiya said as he brought out the box from earlier. Now towered before Naruto was every young ninja's dream, loads of Jutsu that made stuff blow up.
"You'll be living with me at my estate brat, but if you're going to live with me then there'll be a few rule you'll be living by, rule one is don't ask stupid questions," Tsunade said as she brought the forms out for Sheska.
Naruto didn't say a word as all of this unfolded before him, he now had sensei's, all of the Jutsu's he could ever want and now a home with one of the worlds most famous ninja. Doing something no one expected, Naruto fainted.
'I knew something like this would happen' Kurama said as he watched Naruto fall unconscious into the seal. Lifting the sleeping boy up Kurama tucked the boy into a bed in his cage.
"Get plenty of rest Naruto cause you'll be needing it when we get started training" Kurama went back to sleeping in his original form far above Naruto watching the outside just in case anything happened.
Meanwhile, out in the real world, Tsunade was holding Naruto while scanning him with her palm "I knew all of this was too much for just one kid, he's found out about his parents, he has a giant chakra monster in his stomach, he's being trained by two legendary shinobi and he was killed a few days ago."
Hiruzen sighed as Tsunade scanned Naruto 'you have a so much on your shoulders for someone so young' Hiruzen thought as he sealed the scrolls.
"If Naruto has any questions for me then bring him to me but for now I think he deserves a good nights sleep as do we all after the last couple of nights" everyone nodded at that and so left their separate.
Jiraiya went to research in some bathhouses, Tsunade, Shizune and scar who was carrying Naruto left to find some decent rooms in the Senju compound, the Anbu guarding Naruto watched from afar and Hiruzen sat at his desk.
"Weasel" the Anbu weasel appeared before the Hokage in a murder of crows "tell me what is the status of the Uchiha clan..."
Far away in the land of earth, a very pissed off girl was making her way up a flight of stairs. The girl wore a long red dress with no right arm sleeve. As she made her way up the stairs a series of very loud footsteps could be heard down below.
"Shit he's follow ing me" doubling her speed she ran past people almost knocking some over. Finally reaching a set of double doors she didn't stop running and jumped kicked the door open.
Quickly reaching up to the door she locked it. Turning around she saw the third Tsuchikage Onoki who just sat there staring at the tiny intruder.
"I don't know why I bother teaching you manners when you're going to things like this" Onoki sighed as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"Never mind that now" the girl shouted, "I'm finally a ninja but you give me him as a sensei" the footsteps grew louder and faster.
"Kuortsuchi, he is a fine Shinobi, yes he is a bit eccentric" she scoffed at that "but he will have much to teach you as a ninja, if you don't like him then you can wait till next year to be a Genin."
Before she could speak the footsteps reached them and the doors flung towards the old man but turned to dust as they flew across the room.
At the entrance stood a very tall man, due to the frequency of the times he has destroyed the uniform he is given they eventually gave up and left him to go as he pleased.
Standing at seven feet tall and wearing dark blue trousers along with his black combat boots and a loose beige cloak tied around his waist along with the bright blonde moustache and a single lock of curly blonde hair.
As he walked in his gauntlets shone as the light reflected off them showing the detailed inscriptions and the spikes that covered his knuckles.
"Ah I've finally caught up to you my student" Standing before the Tsuchikage and his granddaughter was Alex Louis Armstrong the latest son of the Armstrong family who have been a clan dating back to the village's inception.
"Can't you take a hint, when I hit you with lava it usually means piss off you ass.." before she could finish the mountain of a man scooped the girl up in a hug almost squeezing the life out of her.
"Oh you poor girl you must be terribly lonely, hear let me and you're new team keep you company my deer" before she lost consciousness she saw in the corner of her eye the old man laughing at the sight before him 'stupid git' and then darkness.
A.N: OK this is chapter four and to be honest I don't feel like I did the best with this one since it took me way too long to get complete and it may show in a few scenes. I said I might try a weekly upload but from the way these ideas are coming to me they may be uploaded sporadically over weeks like it could take me one week for a chapter are maybe a month, maybe even two. so don't hold your breath for the next few chapters.
