Chapter 4: Teams, Weapons and More.
The next morning
We find our young graduates in a special ceremony hall standing in rows of three in front of them was a long table with items covered by a large sheet behind the table. We find standing behind the table The Hokage flanked by four Jonin two on each side they were cloaked so you couldn't tell who they were or what their gender was. After a moment Iruka walked forward from behind the students carrying a clipboard he walked up to the table and bowed to the Hokage. He looked at these students with a sense of pride glancing briefly at one Naruto Uzumaki.
After clearing his throat he began to speak. " Welcome graduates and again congratulations on passing your exam. Now I'm sure you are all anxious to know who the Rookie of the year is as well as the top Kunoichi of the year and what exactly this special ceremony is and what the table behind me has to do with it. So lets begin shall we? Now the Kunoichi of the Year with the Highest overall score combining The written, Taijutsu, Shuriken and Kunai, and the Ninjutsu tests is Hinata Hyuga. She was second on the written test with a 98% right behind Sakura who had a 100% She was first in Taijutsu for the girls with a perfect score taking out her opponent efficiently and without flaw. She was second in the Shuriken and Kunai test she tied for first with Tenten getting a perfect score. And on the Ninjutsu test she received a perfect score on the Academy three and then received an 20 points for the extra jutsu portion where she performed the Hyuga's Eight Trigram Style: Air Palm. So please give a round of applause for your Kunoichi of the Year Hinata Hyuga." The classmates were shocked but mostly happy for Hinata with the exception of Sakura who was depressed that she wasn't in first Neji who just glared at Hinata thinking she some how was trying to defy her fate. And Sasuke who just didn't care about stuff that wasn't about him or his revenge. After everyone's congratulation with Naruto's and Tenten's being extremely enthusiastic much to Hinata's embarrassment.
"Alright now on to The Rookie of the year. The race for Rookie of the Year was a close call this year we had three students that could have taken it but it was their Extra Jutsu that made the difference in the end." Sasuke smirked at this thinking he had won with his Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu Naruto really didn't care to much but was curious of his final placement as it effected his deal with the Hokage. He already knew what was under that cloth on the table as he could sense those swords and they were calling to him. " Your rookie of the year and the new record holder for highest academy score is... Naruto Uzumaki!" Everyone was shocked except for the Hokage who had a small happy smile on his face already getting ready to uphold his end of their deal and Iruka who had a large happy grin on his face proud of the young man that Naruto had already become. Before Iruka could continue and explain how he received this title Sasuke exploded with a roar " WHAT! THERE IS NO WAY THAT A DOBE LIKE HIM COULD BE BETTER THEN ME IN ANYTHING I DEMAND THAT THIS BE CHANGED AND I BE DECLARED IT AS IT IS MY RIGHT AS AN UCHIHA!"
He ended his rant much to the horror of his classmates even Sakura, and the anger of The Hokage, Iruka and the cloaked figures. But before Iruka or anyone else could say anything Naruto had moved from his spot in a row and was now in front of the Uchiha. He glared at him with cold icy eyes as he spoke softly but with enough volume that everyone clearly heard him. "That is enough Uchiha (He spat out the name like it was poison) you have already made a fool of yourself in front of not only your class but also the Hokage. And that is a big problem because doing so is disrespectful to the Hokage and I won't stand for that at all. But I offer you an opportunity to receive the title you so demanded. You and me will have a spar and the winner will receive the title. This will be Taijutsu only so that way we don't hurt anyone around us. Deal?" Naruto held out his hand waiting for it to be shook.
Sasuke smirked at this he was certain he could beat this dobe easily after all he was a Uchiha. "I guess I can humor you dope just remember not to cry when I kick your loser ass" He then took Naruto's offered hand a gave it a firm shake.
Naruto ignored his comment and simply walked a small distance away from Sasuke and got into a ready position he turned his head towards Iruka determination shining in his eyes as he spoke. " Iruka- Sensei would you be so kind as to officiate the match between me and the Uchiha."
Iruka was broken out of his shocked daze looked at Naruto and nodded. " Ok course Naruto." He stepped forward. As he did Sasuke had entered into his standard Uchiha style start position with his hands up and in a loose fist leaning back on his left leg more of a reactive style then proactive. Mean while Naruto stood with knees bent and slightly hunched over his arms just hanging down but his head was up and focused on the Uchiha who was smirking thinking dobe didn't know what he was doing with a style like that. With a quick shout of "BEGIN" from Iruka the Taijutsu match for the title Rookie of the Year had begun.
Sasuke launched forward and went for a low sweeping leg kick from his left leg naruto appeared to just barely jump over it before twirling around Sasuke's left side and lightly tapping his left arm with his open palm. Sasuke didn't think anything of it because he didn't feel anything. Sasuke used the momentum of his kick to keep himself spinning right and stopped to meet Naruto face to face. He stopped before springing forward and unleashed a quick right jab to Naruto's face who again barely dodged his head out of the way before twirling both of his hands around Sasuke's bicep lightly touching him again but again seemingly doing nothing. Sasuke was starting to get frustrated that he couldn't seem to hit Naruto but was also cocky since it seemed to him whatever Naruto was doing wasn't affected him. He started to throw combinations of multiple punches and kicks but again Naruto just seemed to barely dodge the attacks and slightly touch various areas of his body like his legs and stomach. Suddenly Naruto rushed forward and flowed around Sasuke's defense to tap him lightly in the spine. This caused quite suddenly all the areas Naruto had touched before to lock and freeze up causing Sasuke to collapse and shudder in pain.
"Iruka- Sensei please call the match so I can release Sasuke from the paralysis effects he is under."
Iruka jolted slightly from Naruto speaking and quickly called the match " Winner of the Taijutsu match for Title Rookie of the Year Naruto Uzumaki." He waited a moment as Naruto walked over to Sasuke and bent down and began to tap random spots along his body. " Naruto what was that I have never seen any Taijutsu like it."
Naruto not looking up from his work on the Uchiha spoke calmly and explained " That was and intermediate skill of the Crashing Waves branch of the Uzumaki Taijutsu style. It is a technique called Freezing Mist Palms. basically through a minor amount of charka application and the correct sequence it causes the opponents nerves to react in various ways this is the only combination I have successfully learned at this time and it basically just causes all of my opponents muscles to look up for around 4 minutes. But when mastered can do things like stopping an opponents heart." Naruto had finished releasing the Uchiha and was now walking back to his spot in the rows ignoring the flabbergasted looks on his classmates excluding Rock Lee, Tenten, and Hinata who already had witnessed the style.
Meanwhile the Uchiha was fuming in his mind "How could I lose to that Dobe that clanless, orphan loser! I'm a Uchiha an elite the best of the best he should be bowing to me instead he beat me and made it look easy without any effort. If I can't beat him how am I ever going to defeat HI. I'll show him who is superior who is the Best. ME!" His hands quickly flew through hand seals before with a Shout of Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu! And a massive fireball began heading towards Naruto's back.
Time seemed to slow for Naruto as he heard the jutsu name shouted he whirled around and saw the fireball headed for him, his thoughts raced an mile a second. " I can't dodge it because if I do my classmates and friends will be in the line of fire and will most likely get hurt. The experienced Ninja are shocked at the Uchiha's actions and won't be able to respond in time Hokage-Jiji could but he seems to be waiting to see what I can do to stop it although the anger in his eyes tells me that the Uchiha is in major trouble no matter what. What can I do... That it!"
Naruto quickly formed and seal-less Kage Bunshin which jumped up into the air as they both flew through Hand seals at around high Chunin low Jonin Speed. The Original Naruto Shouted out Earth Style: Raised Rods Jutsu and stomped his foot down onto the ground which raised three rows of rods in a circle around him with barely a millimeter of distance between them. Once this was done the Clone landed on the back half of the circle of rods and with a shout of Water Style: Fighting Fish Jutsu and began rapid firing fish shaped projectiles at the Fireball weakening it with each and every hit until it was down to the size of a basketball that crashed and exploded slightly against Naruto's rod wall before dying out.
"ANBU! detain the Uchiha and notify Inoichi Yamanaka that I want a full psych evaluation on Sasuke Uchiha before I determine his punishment for endangering his entire graduating class with his rash and selfish actions." Sarutobi spoke evenly but with an edge of anger to it. Immediately afterwards four shadows dropped down revealing the anbu who slapped Chakra locking seals on the Uchiha as well as tying him up before shushining away without sound. As the Hokage's orders were executed Naruto had dispelled the clone and reversed the rods back into the floor. He was standing at attention where he had performed the jutsu waiting for his verdict from the Hokage.
After taking a second to calm himself the Hokage stepped from his position behind the table and towards Naruto his face and eyes giving away nothing. He walked until he stood in front of Naruto with a serious expression on his face. it was but a moment before he broke his serious demeanor and gave naruto a small but extremely proud smile. " Genin Uzumaki you have displayed exactly what Konoha stands for with and excellent display of our Will of Fire. You also showed exactly what this village expects from every one of our Ninja staying calm in the face of adversity, using what you have on hand to make the mission a success and most importantly to protect your comrades even at the risk of yourself. That was an excellent usage of technique and you will be rewarded for it we will speak more privately later." Naruto was happy that he could make his Jiji proud but kept his professional face up as to keep the image of him being a serious shinobi but his eyes sparkled with joy even as he spoke. " I was just doing my duty as a Genin of Konoha as I know all of my comrades behind me would do if the situation was reversed. I thank you for your words of praise Hokage-Sama and with your permission I will return to my position in the rows."
Sarutobi almost smirked at Naruto's response but was able to repress it as he replied " Very well Uzumaki you are dismissed back to your original position." Naruto nodded and walked back to his spot in front of Tenten and Hinata. " Now before the interruption Iruka was going to explain why Genin Uzumaki was given Rookie of the Year. Naruto had scored beyond perfect on every test. Every year there are secret hidden tests within the general tests given and Naruto had discovered and completed everyone. For the Written test there was an additional page hidden by a fairly advanced Genjutsu that when discovered revealed additional advanced questions for you to answered. He not only revealed the paper he answered all of the questions perfectly. On the Weapons test there were long distance targets hidden around the field that if they were noticed by the test taker they could choose to attempt them only Naruto, Tenten, and Hinata discovered them and all three of them scored a perfect. There was no hidden test in the Taijutsu but he still received a perfect. Finally the Ninjutsu test when offered to perform an additional jutsu for extra credit while most students just performed one technique Naruto had performed five one for each element as well showing a high level of skill."
The other students were shocked by this even Tenten and Hinata it was already surprising to see him perform the two that he did right in front of them but for him to perform five and one for each element on top it was unheard of for a Genin.
" Now that that is explained we should move onto the actual purpose of why we are here. this will take a little time to explain as it is important that you understand. A little under a year ago an ancient hidden tomb was discovered by our own Naruto Uzumaki. Inside was discovered a veritable treasure trove of ancient weapons and tomes. After discussing how Naruto had ended up there he proposed an idea as to what to do with the weapons. He recommended that his graduating class receive them so that way they had time to train with them. The reason is because of what the tomes and writing down there revealed to us. The only reason Naruto even found them was because Magic encryptions in the Vault sensed a threat unlike anything we have seen is approaching and the only thing that con defeat it is the weapons in the vault. However from what we have been able to learn and discover there is time before the threat even begins to appear so you have time to train and grow with the weapon. These facts and more convinced the council to allow your class to receive and train with these weapons as you will be able to focus your new training towards using them and incorporating them into your beginning styles instead of slowing down an experienced Ninja with an unfamiliar tool or weapon. So the tradition was changed just this once. Usually you all would be put into three man teams and your Jonin-Sensei would test you in their own way to see if you were ready to really be ninja. you will still be on three man teams with a Jonin-Sensei however you will not be tested in the same way instead they will perform a skills assessment on you individually and as a team. Then they will focus on making you all competent and well rounded Ninjas and team. They will decide when and what level of missions you will take. So stay focused and train hard for you are this villages future and defenders."
As the Hokage spoke and more was revealed everyone at first looked shocked at Naruto again he just kept surprising them. But as it went on everyone stood up straighter and their faces took on a serious look even Shikamaru who found most things troubling was alert and focused. For the Hokage had just revealed to them that they would be the villages and potentially the worlds defense against this new and unknown threat.
" Now I know that is a lot to take in but remember you have time and comrades to help you. Two of the weapons have already been taken as a test to make sure they were safe. What we learned from these instances is that the weapons or tools will call to you in their own way. basically you will be drawn to them and they to you so don't ignore that feeling and follow it. Also since most of you are from clans we have already received the permission of your clan and parents and they will do their best to incorporate your clan techniques into the style you make or learn for the item you take. So with out further ado we will let you each come up one by one and pick what draws you we will then tell you any information we have on the item you pick to help you along. As a reward for finding and already partially bonding with them Naruto will go first and will receive two items as I said he has already partially bonded with them when he discovered the Vault."
Everyone understood and stayed in a serious if somewhat now relaxed position realizing they weren't alone in this. As Naruto stepped forward the cloaked figures removed the cloths over the tables revealing a multitude of amazing and powerful feeling weapons and items. It took everything in Tenten to not squeal and Fangirl at the sight of such beauty. Naruto strode with purpose to the center of the weapons where laid the two swords he had been drawn to before. He picked one up in each hand and held them up and a wave of power exploded off of him and the swords. the aura he exuded felt royal and powerful but also that of a protector and kindness. As he strapped them to himself the larger at an angle on his back and the smaller on his left hip. The Hokage spoke up as he did this.
"On Narutos back is the Sword Anduril or the Sword Reforged. Wielded by the returned King of the ancient Kingdom Gondor Aragon and leader of the heroes' Fellowship. A powerful sword with a royal lineage. On his hip is the sword named Sting a weapon wielded by the humblest but most important of heroes a Hobbit named Frodo Baggins The carrier of the burden and the heart of the Fellowship. These were the weapons of the two greatest heroes from their time. I believe they have chosen wisely."
Naruto bowed to the Hokage and went back to his spot, once there the Hokage called up the next person which was Tenten.
She went down the row until she stopped at a sword with two horse heads on the handle. She reached out and grasped the weapon feeling a connection to it. As she strapped it to her waist the Hokage spoke.
"That is the sword of Eowyn a woman warrior responsible for killing the dreaded Witch King a being which no man could kill."
Tenten bowed to the Hokage and return to her spot next up was Hinata.
Hinata didn't even walk the tables immediately heading to one item which was a beautiful, wooden carved bow with a quiver which seemed to have two daggers sticking out of it.
" That is the bow of Legolas the Elf one of the heroes' Fellowship A loyal friend and one of the two who stored the weapons in the vault. The bow was a gift to Legolas from the Lady Galadriel."
Hinata bowed to the Hokage before returning to her spot.
Ino Yamanaka
"The sword of Gondor wielded in its defense by the Hobbit Pippin Took. He did all he could for his friends specifically his best friend Merry Brandybuck. As well as his elven dagger given to him by Lady Galadriel."
Shikamaru
"The Cloak of Faramir Leader of the Gondorian Rangers and a master tactician."
Choji
"The Double Bladed axe of Gimili the Dwarf we was the partner to Legolas in making the vault. A heavy but powerful weapon."
Kiba
"Boromir's Bracers and the remains of his horn as well as the teeth of a Fell beast. I would recommend talking to the Blacksmith Shini Cho and see if he can do anything to make use of these items."
Sakura
"The Sword of Rohan wielded by the Hobbit Merry Brandybuck. Who took up the sword to help his friends not wanting to be left behind especially from his dearest friend Pippin Took. As well as the Elven Dagger given to him by Lady Galadriel"
Shino
"The spear of the Horse Rider Eomer. A fine weapon wielded by a man who lead his loyal men to many a victory"
Neji
"The elven rope given to Sam Gamgee by the Lady Galadriel used to help his dearest friend Frodo complete his quest. he followed him into the heart of the enemies stronghold and helped him when Frodo needed him most."
Lee
"The Shield of Boromir Captain of the Guard of the kingdom of Gondor. He fell protecting his friends and stayed standing when others would have fallen."
After everyone had gotten a weapon or weapons they stayed at the ready waiting for the Hokage to continue.
"Now treat those items and weapons with respect and honor and I am certain that they will never fail you. I'm sure all of you are anxious to know your teams and Sensei's so you can start training so without further stalling from this "Old Man" (Naruto had to suppress a laugh) lets announce your teams. I will begin with the one that might change depending on the outcome of Sasuke Uchiha. Team seven originally was going to be Sasuke Uchiha, Kiba Inuzuka and Sakura Haruno under the command of Kakashi Hatake."
The cloaked figure to the far left behind the Hokage removed his cloak revealing one Kakashi Hatake. He was a tall but skinny man with tall gravity defying silver colored hair. He wore his headband askew so it covered his left eye that combined with his lower face mask made the only visible part of his face his right eye which held a serious look to it. He was wearing the standard Jonin uniform and was in a somewhat relaxed pose. Despite the pose he radiated a sense of confidence and power.
"However after the actions of Sasuke Uchiha we will find a suitable replacement for your team if it is deemed necessary but you two will begin training with Kakashi at 8am tomorrow at training ground seven so don't be late. Now the next team is Team nine under Asuma Sarutobi"
The figure to the far right removed his cloak revealing one Asuma Sarutobi. A tall but broad man with a trimmed beard he held a serious expression as he surveyed the Genin but then smirked after a moment. He two was wearing the standard Jonin Uniform but had two minor additions to the norm the first was a pair of custom knife holders on either side of his waist and the other was a cloth wrapped around his waist with the symbol for fire indicating he was once a Guardian of the Fire Daimyo.
"He will be the Sensei of Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi you will begin training tomorrow and meet him at training ground nine at eight am sharp. The next team will consist of Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee and Shino Aburame. They will be under the command of Might Guy in Team three"
The Figure standing next to Kakashi removed his cloak revealing to the silent horror of many and awe of one the green spandex clad man named Might Guy. While he wasn't as tall of Asuma he was Broader and more Muscular. He had a shining bowl hair cut and the largest eyebrows anyone had ever seen. he wore his red headband around his waist like a belt and orange leg warmers a part of each of the Genin died a little inside with the exception of Lee who suddenly had sparkles in his eye much to his classmates horror.
"You three will meet your new Sensei for training at training ground three at eight am sharp as well. Finally we have team one consisting of Naruto Uzumaki, Hinata Hyuga, and Tenten. This team will have two newly promoted Jonin as their Sensei's to help balance out their specialties they are Kurenai Yuhi and Anko Mitarashi."
The final cloaked figure split into two and removed their cloaks and if the boys weren't so shocked at one person becoming two they would have drooled at the sight before them. In fact Kiba was actually able to do both a weird sight indeed. For before them stood two stunning women one was Kurenai Yuhi a Onyx haired woman who's long hair reached to the small of her back and had a natural sexy bed hair look. She wore a dress that you could swear was made up of a white bandages with an interesting thorn look to them as well as a chain mail undershirt that was attached to a red sleeve over her right arm this hid her figure fairly well but not entirely showing that she was of a more slender build except for her breast while hard to tell she was definitely bigger then a C-cup. But what was most striking about her was her eyes. They were Ruby red with a black circle in them giving her an enticing and exotic look. She would be described as a rare beauty. But Anko Mitarashi on the other hand would be described as Sex incarnate. Her hair was a blue-purple color in a fanned out pony tail and what see was wearing after Kiba actually was able to take it in caused him to pass out. She had a tight mesh body suit that went from her neck all the way down to mid thigh she also wore a tan trench coat that barely covered her breasts enough to make them hidden and a tight burnt orange miniskirt that only went down to upper thigh. She also wore silver-gray shin guards and a blue belt but most missed out on those details. For while Kurenai hid her body proportions Anko flaunted them an obviously High D to low DD cup chest a narrow waist and large full hips and rear leading down into her long legs. Her eyes were twinkling in amusement as all the guys excluding Naruto who kept himself under control with the exception of a small blush and Lee who was still staring at Guy in awe reacted to her look. She licked her lips in anticipation.
"You will meet your two Sensei's and training ground one tomorrow at eight am as well. Now you are all dismissed except for Naruto as I would like to discuss his reward for his actions to day as well as a few other things."
With a nod the rest of the Genin and the Jonin departed to spend the rest of their day however they wanted.
10 minutes later the Hokages Office
Sarutobi sat in his chair behind his desk looking at the anxious but controlled Naruto that sat across from him he could only smile at the progress his surrogate grandson had made in less then a years time. He decided to begin speaking as he knew Naruto couldn't wait much longer.
"First off before we start Naruto I would like to again congratulate you on graduating rookie of the year to boot and on how you handled Sasuke it was more then I could have ever expected of you. I especially got a kick out of your portrayal of being a serious and determined ninja it made me proud if also a little amused when compared to the old you." Naruto could only smirk at this." Now if you will permit me I would like to speak of the reward for your actions real quick and then discuss what I promised you if that is acceptable?"
Naruto took a moment to respond he was anxious to know the information his Jiji was going to tell him but he also was curious about what exactly the Hokage was going to give him. Finally he decided.
"That is acceptable Jiji as I admit I am curious as to what this reward is."
Sarutobi could only smirk at that. "Very well Naruto there is going to be three parts to this reward first is the legal compensation you are to receive from the Uchiha which with all the charges I believe 10 Jutsu under A rank from the Uchiha clan library is a suitable compensation which we will take care of at a later date after the decision on Sasuke has been determined. Next is the reward from the village and that will be B-rank pay and a B-rank successful mission added to your record for the act of protecting your comrades from a hostile attack. Final is my own personal reward which in itself is three part one is a jutsu scroll (he hands Naruto a scroll) inside is one of my personal jutsu a B-rank technique called Earth Style: Enraged Monkey Assault. What it does is depending on Chakra output it will summon anywhere from 3 to 25 earthen monkeys that will pursue and attack an enemy a very useful jutsu against multiple opponents or to overwhelm a single stronger opponent. The second is a training session with me that you ca schedule at any time which I recommend saving until you are taking the Chunin Exams. Finally is a summon contract to a personal familiar of the Monkey Clan this is not a full contract as the full contract is a Sarutobi clan only privilege however as the head of the clan I am allowed to give a personal summon to someone I see fit as long as Enma my personal summon and head of the Monkey clan agrees. He had already mentioned his acceptance to this idea during the last year when I spoke to him about you so this scroll (He hands Naruto another scroll this one with the face of a monkey one the seal) hold a personal contract for a young monkey named Goku who is a Nin-Taijutsu specialist with an affinity for Fire and Lightning. That ends the reward for your heroic and incredible service." Sarutobi started to chuckle after seeing the awestruck and amazed face Naruto had on.
"Jiji this is too much I can't accept all of this." Naruto slowly spoke trying to hand back the two scrolls to his Jiji.
"You can and you will accept this Naruto. This is the minimum amount of reward I thought you should receive you don't realize what exactly you did you saved 10 of your fellow classmates 7 of which are connected to a clan and 6 are the heirs to said clans. The lose of them would have been devastating to the village and the clans. So do me a kindness and accept this small reward for serviced rendered." Sarutobi responded adamantly to Naruto who after looking at how serious his Jiji quietly pocketed the scrolls as he nodded his head. Sarutobi smiled and began to speak again.
"Now lets get to the real reason you are here your family and why you are hated." Naruto sat ramrod straight and his full attention was on his Jiji. (If you know the story you can skip until I put a read here in bold)
"I will begin with why you are hated as revealing your parents afterwards will help you understand why what happened happened but you must stay silent through the everything that way we don't get side tracked Thirteen years ago on the day of your birth October Tenth The Kyubi attacked our village doing a massive amount of damage until the Fourth Hokage defeated it I say defeated as the Kyubi can't be destroyed it is just a sentient Chakra it would just reform in time. So the Fourth Hokage sealed it into a vessel using the strongest Fuinjutsu he knew summoning the Shinigami to power it. That vessel was you Naruto and he didn't just choose you by chance. The only way for the Seal to hold was for the container to be a new born baby who hadn't developed their chakra coils and more specifically it had to be an Uzumaki child as they were the only known clan strong enough to contain the beast."
"Now I know you are wondering why me but that will be answered quite easily after I reveal who your parents were. Your mother went by the Nickname The Bloody Whirlpool she was a near Kage level Kunoichi who was a master of Fuinjutsu and Kenjutsu her name before marrying your father was Kushina Uzumaki. Now your father was an even more powerful man feared by out enemies even more then I was in my prime. He was Minato Namikaze The Yellow Flash, The Fourth Hokage and your father. Do you see why the Kyubi was sealed into you? Your father couldn't make another parent give up their child if he wasn't willing to do so with his own. Unfortunately they both died protecting you and sealing the Kyubi into you to save the village. They wished for you to be seen as a hero but very few followed their request. I know that they loved you with all their hearts. I am sorry Naruto."
(Read Here)
Naruto was frozen and was breathing very shallowly he expected a lot but this, this was to much he was the son of his idol the same man who sealed the Kyubi the most powerful being in existence into him and was the reason he was mistreated by his village but before he could lose his mind of run out of the office screaming his mind slowed down and focused on the last thing the Hokage said They loved him and suddenly he was filled with a warmth he had never felt before. His mind was able to process at least mostly everything that he was told and he began to understand his father didn't have a choice so he did what he could to give his village and him the best chance to survive and prosper. And even though he was hated by the general populace he still had people he cared about he had Jiji, Teuchi and Ayame Ichiraku, Hinata and Tenten, their fathers, and Iruka it wasn't a long list but it would continue to grow as he showed his village and the world exactly what Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze can do. After what felt like a long time but was only about ten minutes Naruto looked to his Jiji and even though he had tears in his eyes they were happy and he had a sad smile on his face as he spoke in a quiet and subdued voice. "I get it Jiji I understand why they did what they did. I miss them but I'm not alone I have you and my friends and the people that accepted me so I will keep walking forward and show the rest of the village exactly who I am and what I can do." He finished with a quiet but determined voice that shone in his eyes a fire that wouldn't go out ever.
"Very good I knew you would Naruto I know how strong you are. Now there are a couple of things left to discuss and then you may go home to process and think. (Naruto slightly nodded to this) The first is that you won't be able to take on your father's name until you reach Chunin the reason for this is because your father made many enemies specifically with Iwa and they wouldn't hesitate to hunt you down as a petty form of revenge. So until then you can't claim his half of your inheritance especially since most of it is in the hands of your Father's Sensei my student Jiraiya. Your mothers you are allowed to claim including the property she owned and all her money and scrolls. She even owned a house which I had repaired and kept clean that is yours if you wish to use it (Again Naruto just nodded) Very well I will show you it after we are done here. The final thing is as the last of two clans you have a claim to two seats on the council and now technically fall under the CRA if you wish to use it as everything about it is entirely voluntary so don't feel pressured by it. Also these won't go into full effect anyway's until you are again a Chunin since that is the lowest rank a person is allowed to be on the Shinobi Council. So we will cross that bridge when we come to it. Finally there is this (He hand Naruto a large scroll about half the size of the scroll of seals.) This scroll is the Uzumaki clan Scroll that Kushina was able to gather after Uzu was destroyed there is a lot in there and it can only be opened by you so I don't even know what most of what's in there. but I do know alot pertains to Fuinjutsu and their Techniques so take a look at it at your leisure and get stronger with it. Now I believe that is everything so shall I show you the house?" Naruto just nodded again as he robotically strapped the Scroll to the small of his back as Sarutobi Shunshined away.
A small private lot between training grounds 43 and 44
Naruto and Sarutobi appeared in front of a basic if somewhat lavish house unlike most Houses in the area this one was two stories and was built in a more western style. it had a fairly large amount of land around it that was enclosed by a eight foot tall wall with the Uzumaki swirl on it. Sarutobi lead the practically brain dead Naruto through the gate and up to the second story master bedroom. He laid him down and left setting an alarm to wake him. Naruto fell asleep with a small smile on his face as his last conscious thought was of his parents.
A/N: Hopefully everyone enjoyed this chapter. I'm sorry for the long wait time on it have been dealing with some major computer problems. However hopefully this chapter keeps you interested and brings you back for more. Next thing I will be writing is the first chapter of the story chosen by the poll and then hopefully will be up before new years I will also try to have a new chapter of this and TWHM up but no promises for this month as it is December.
