Previously on Naruto: The Legacy
"this is perfect to use, I stand out so those so called idiots want to ignore me have to look at me, and those who want to chase me have to find me, if I can hide wearing this, then I can hide in anything" he thought to himself as he looked in the mirror, in the mirrors reflection stood a blonde haired blue eyed boy, with what looked like the worst possible fashion sense possible, there he stood in blue sandals and what looked like the brightest orange pants and jacket anyone had ever seen.. (same gear as Naruto anime/manga)
So the greatest deception in Konoha began, the deception of Naruto Uzumaki the loud mouthed useless dead last idiot the village has ever seen..
It had been a little over a month since Naruto was first introduced to the Hokage's private training ground and on most day's the ground was filled with blonde haired children however today was different, a yellow and orange flash darted by quickly followed by a black and grey flash and the sounds of battle could be heard all over the field "Come on Naruto Faster, how can you hope to be Hokage if you cannot beat me" laughed the Hokage as he dashed towards Naruto, "just watch old man, I WILL be Hokage!" as he darted towards the Hokage, thunderous punches and kicks could be heard all over the field "Come on move your waist move and focus on your footing, it must be second nature to you" shouted the Hokage as he parried a punch from Naruto.
A few hours later both was laying on the floor, Naruto was heavily panting while the old man wasn't as much, "dammit old man one day I'll beat you one day" panted Naruto the old man chuckled as he took a few breathes " one day I have no doubt you will be Hokage, but not yet my boy, speaking of which I got to admit you are a lot quicker then before, I guess that seal worked wonders then huh?" Naruto took a few seconds more to regain some more much needed oxygen " actually, I've since replaced that seal you gave me" as he lifted up his forearm to show the Hokage that the seal was no longer there, the Hokage frowned for a few seconds before asking the question which ran through his mind now "Fūinjutsu is dangerous is done incorrectly you know, but I have to ask what did you replace it with?"
Naruto stood up and removed his shirt and a visible tattoo seal could be seen starting from his heart spreading out over his chest and rising up over his shoulders onto his back, and he also lifted both his leg sections of his pants up to show another set of seals that started from just below the knee and inter-weaved in and round down to his ankles "Mhmm I see so you are using those then" spoke the Hokage after having a closer inspection to the seals, "though I have to admit I never thought you would of advanced this far in Fūinjutsu in just a month Naruto" Naruto smirked "I wouldn't even be past the first level if it wasn't for shadow clones, though I have to admit I do abuse them a bit to much" he laughed the Hokage just shook his head reminding himself that this was Naruto the future Hokage the was now becoming one of the most surprising ninja's he had ever seen "aha of course shadow clones, but you have to remember this Naruto while yes you may abuse them for learning there is nothing wrong with that, because you understand the value of having to master a technique, while you don't possess something like the Sharingan like the Uchiha clan, where they just copy jutsu's you take the time to learn by mastering that my boy is something else entirely, so don't be sad that you abuse the jutsu, if anything I'm proud you can because not even I could do the level of training you do with shadow clones I don't just have the chakra reserves to do it, any-ways getting back to the seals you are using what levels are you at?"
Naruto looked down and thought for a minute for shrugging and reactivating the seals which glowed for a few seconds before he looked down once again at the seals on his legs "err looks like the Frictional Resistance Seals are at level 2 and the other one is at.." as he let go of his pants legs sections and stood up looking at his chest "and err the Gravity Seal isn't all that high at the moment it looks like it's a 1.3 gravity, but it's getting there slowly, every week or few weeks I'm upping it a little bit at a time to get used to it then release both seals for a few hours a week to get used to the speed difference"
A/N (1 = default gravity, 2 = double earth's gravity, you have to remember Naruto is still just a child of 5, so he isn't going to be wearing 25x gravity seals just yet even if he does have the nine tails sealed inside him)
"After all, no point having all this speed behind me if I can't control my footing" stated Naruto as the old man smiled "Naruto my boy you know sometimes you sound older and wiser then me but then when I look at you I still have to remember you are only but a child" Naruto shrugged "what can I say I had to learn fast to survive" the old man's heart twinged when he heard that and the pain could be seen on his face which Naruto noticed, looking up he ran a hand through his hair as he looked up at the sky "don't worry about it Sensei, you've helped me out more than you realize hell if it wasn't for you I doubt I would of even survived half of those attacks, but enough about that what's next?" the Hokage couldn't help but look down in shame at the village he was leader of, the villagers had done so much to the boy and yet he didn't hate them, he still showed compassion to those had done him wrong these was not the qualities of a demon no, these was the qualities of a fine leader, and one that he hoped one day to see himself watch the boy become.
"Well my boy, you are well on your way to becoming a great ninja so you have no problems with that, OK lets go with that we know, you have your academy level jutsu's down so even if I decided to put you in the academy now you would pass with flying colours I have little doubt, you know enough Fūinjutsu to make seals heck you can even do insane amounts of shadow clones, speaking of which.. how many can you pump out now? Or have you stopped keeping count?" asked the Hokage as he took out his pipe and placed a bit of tobacco in it and lit it with a small fire jutsu and started puffing it, Naruto continued looking up in the sky as he thought about how many he could do "I don't know anymore sensei I kinda stopped keeping track awhile ago I know I can kick out over 500 clones with little difficulty so I don't know must be close to 800 to a 1000 clones by now I guess" the old man chuckled at the thought of 1000 Naruto's running around the village pulling pranks, hell he remembered only last month when Naruto walked into his office wearing that god awful orange monstrosity he called clothes..
Flashback:
The Hokage was sitting behind his desk doing some paperwork when the doors suddenly burst open, as he looked up he could see it was Naruto so he decided to greet him"Ahh Naruto my boy how...are..." then he noticed what he was wearing "umm Naruto can I ask you a question?" getting a nod from the small blonde who had since closed the doors behind him "what in the blue hell are you wearing, surely you can't be serious wanting to wear that.." the boy just smiled "that's the point grampa" the Hokage was suddenly confused as to why he made a point to wear this orange horrendous outfit, as Naruto watched the confused face, he sighed and decided to explain it for him.
"It's like this old man, when you see me in this what do you think of me?" he asked, the Hokage frowned "I think you are an idiot for wearing that, someone I wouldn't take ser...iou...sly.." then it clicked for him "ah now I think I understand while wearing that you want people to think of you as a fool, a clown of sorts basically you can be ignored, however that's not the real you, I have seen you train heck I've taught you stuff as-well, so I know what you are capable of however no-one else would... and that's the point isn't it.." getting a nod from the small blonde boy "I remembered something from a book I read once, 'a ninja must see through deception' speaking of which, I know your deception but I don't hold it against you, I was born wrong time wrong place I guess" he said with a shrug, this made the Hokage slightly nervous "to which deception are you talking about my boy" he tried to ask without sounding rather nervous, Naruto looked at him dead in the eye " all the insults from the villagers, 'demon this' 'demon that' 'kill that demon' and the list goes on I may add, however it doesn't take a genius to figure it all out.."
The Hokage swallowed hard not really wanting to ask the question but he knew he had to.. "what did you find out?" Naruto took a step closer still looking the Hokage dead in the eye "I know about the Kyuubi sealed inside me.." as soon as Naruto said this one of the hidden ANBU members protecting the Hokage fell from their hidden spot..
CRASH..
as the purple haired ANBU member slowly got up, she bowed to the Hokage "forgive me lord Hokage, he just surprised me that's all.." the Hokage nodded "it's quite alright Cat as you was.. "Cat nodded to the Hokage and disappeared from view, back to where ever she was hiding before she slipped, "So my boy it seems you have discovered much" Naruto nodded "wasn't hard a few hundred clones searching the library for certain things given that facts I already knew.." the Hokage raised an eyebrow "oh ho and what would those facts be may I ask,?"
Naruto just shrugged and pulled out a small notepad "kinda figured you would ask that so I wrote them down for you," taking the notepad from the young blonde the Hokage opened the notepad and looked at it..
Questions to be asked?
Who am I?
Who was my parents?
Where are my parents?
Why was I chosen?
Things I know.
My Name is Naruto Uzumaki, or is it?
I was Born 10th October AK0, to my knowledge, could be a lie.
villagers call me a demon that has killed their loved ones, but I haven't killed anyone,
Sept 19th
One of the merchants called me Kyuubi brat today..
so what is the Kyuubi.
Sept 20th
Found out Kyuubi attacked Konoha 5 years ago, on the 10th October the same day as my birth, looked into the seal on my stomach which I noticed a few months back but didn't have the knowledge of Fūinjutsu I have now, discovered it was created by the fourth Hokage called the "eight trigrams seal" only something of this could be used to seal something extremely powerful, must look into it further.. Discovered the Kyuubi didn't lie as per told, but was sealed inside myself, See Council Meeting Minutes 11th October AK0 Paragraph 188 "Quoted from Lord Third ' The Nine Tails was sealed inside Naruto Uzumaki, the Fourth Hokage's dying wish was that Naruto was treated like a hero, and not the demon he contains, for he is the jailer, not the inmate.."
The Hokage was speechless, as he continued to read it, how much had been leaked, and where was he finding all this information out, hell it should be restricted, he he managed to get hold of it then who else did, putting that thought to one side for a second he decided to carry on reading..
Sept 22nd
Looked into what the Kyuubi is, found out Kyuubi is a Tailed Beast, for one who has had a tailed beast sealed inside them are called 'jinchuriki'
also Started researching information about parents, pretty sure gramps knows but won't tell me for some reason, must find out what and why..
the old man gulped at this and started to sweat a bit
Sept 23rd no luck yet, Decided to start with all births on 10th October 5 years ago, found out 14 women gave birth that day the nine tails attacked, of the 14 women who gave birth only 6 was male, to which only 2 was born blue eyes, to which 1 was born with blonde hair, Woman in question was a red haired female, name was scrubbed out, which means it was blacklisted..
why?
Sept 26th after searching medical records of red haired females since the creation of the leaf village, only 2 known red-haired females have been known to live and exist within the walls of the village.. surprisingly they are both Uzumaki, the first being a woman called Mito Uzumaki who was married to the First Hokage, so that scraps her (but note to self, check if related down the line somewhere)
Second female by the name of Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze, Once again red haired female, known to of died 10th October AK0, note to self last name difference check marriage section later on.
Found listing of Namikaze,
Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze
Minato Namikaze
Looked up Minato Namikaze today must say I was surprised no-one could see the difference, same blonde hair, same blue eyes, hell we even have the same hair style, found out who I am,though I can understand why I wasn't named after my father, looked deeper into his past and found out he was SS ranked in bingo book by Iwa with flee on sight, if they found out about me they would keep me because they couldn't kill my father..
so who am I?
My Name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, Son of the Fourth Hokage, jinchuriki of the Nine Tails
only one question remains...
why me?
The Hokage was screaming on the inside, "HE KNOWS HE KNOWS GOD SAKE HOW MUCH HAS BEEN LEAKED, OK OK CALM DOWN AND BREATHE!" taking a few breathes he closed the notepad and looked at Naruto, "so it seems you know quite a lot, I wasn't planning on telling you this until you was much much older however it seems I can't keep withholding information from you can I?, but for what it's worth I'm sorry my boy, I planned to be the one to tell you and not for you to find out like this, you was correct about a great many things and to answer your final question 'why?', because he was the kind of man who couldn't ask another to give up their child when he could use his own child, now don't get me wrong this village has done a great many things wrong in the past, now for safety sake I need you to tell me who else knows and how did you find out this information so quickly.." Naruto sighed, "for one, I haven't told anyone but you, I guessed there was a reason behind keeping it a secret" getting a nod from the Hokage, "yes you mentioned Iwa, and you would be right on the money with that, as they couldn't get to your father they would go for the next best thing his son, to prevent you from becoming a threat as much as your father was before you.." Naruto nodded "sounds reasonable and as to your second question how did I find out, you would be surprised how much I can read for a few hours a day with a few hundred clones, took me all of about a week I think it was to track back the paper trail, speaking of which.. flip to the back of the notepad all info is contained in the seal on the inside of it. I took the information away because if I could track it then other people could as well,"
The Hokage nodded and flipped to the back and indeed there was a storage seal, "Naruto do you mind if I hold on to this for now, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just I don't want this information leaked out, and speaking of which, to all those ANBU who are present, this is now S classed secret and I am sure you know what happens if I get wind of one of you speaking about this outside this room is this understood?" there was a pause of a few seconds, before several voices spoke up "Understood Lord Hokage."
The Hokage was in turmoil at the moment, while he was pleased the boy had figured out everything and yet not hold a grudge against him or the village, the fact that S Ranked information was so readily available that even a 5 year old could access it was insane, oh heads would be rolling for this , "hey grampa," said Naruto getting the old mans attention, "did my parents leave anything for me do you know?" the Hokage raised an eyebrow before nodding, "indeed they did my boy, they left you a great many things your parents was quite rich in a sense," "bah, sure money is nice but money is only money it comes it goes" stated a dead panned Naruto, The Hokage couldn't help but chuckle and smile at the boy "my boy, if only other people in this world thought as you did it would be a better place, but yes they did leave you quite a large sum of money some of which I was using to pay the rent on your place, but it seems as you know who you are, I guess you can move into your parents house, of course I'll still come by to help you from time to time, but I'm sure you will learn a lot from what I can remember they had quite a large library of Fūinjutsu and other various jutsu's."
Naruto's eyes lit up at the sound of the library and in his mind he was rubbing his hands with glee at the prospect of learning more about Fūinjutsu and new jutsu's
End Flashback
"Say Naruto do you want to enter the academy yet, it's obvious that you would pass" asked the Old man, but to his surprise Naruto just shook his head "no offence Sensei, but not yet, I plan to join in a few more years time, when I have a better chance of passing without the council on your back about passing the 'demon'" Naruto said as he sighed the part "not to mention even if I was to join the academy I would have to seriously downplay my abilities, and I don't think I can downplay them to the required level just yet, though I do have a question for you?" stated Naruto as he and the Hokage got up to start their way back to his office "oh and what would that be?" said the Hokage as he puffed on his pipe, "I was wondering if you would let me do some missions to gain experience?" asked Naruto, the Hokage stopped to look at Naruto "you know as well as I do I cannot in good conscience let you go off and face dangers you are just not ready for yet" Naruto chuckled "no as much as I would like to go on a S ranked mission, I know I'd get my ass handed to me on a C ranked let alone a S rank, I was thinking more along the lines of helping get rid of some of those D ranks which have been piling up in your office as of late," the Hokage thought about it, it was true that those missions was more a chore than a mission itself, however Naruto was only 5, not to mention he hadn't even passed his academy exam, it was true technically he could pass Naruto himself, but then the council would be on his case and Naruto's stating the boy was becoming to powerful and it should be killed before it becomes a threat and destroys us all," the Hokage sighed, they really was some short minded people but then again Naruto was learning fast just like his parents he wasn't a prodigy where he was gifted with everything he wanted, no he was genius and learnt how to do everything through hard work, he smirked, with a little help from shadow clones, he smiled and looked up to the sky, all those shadow clones Naruto has the potential to not just surpass me or his father, but he has the potential to be the most powerful ninja in the world, and these weekly spars of ours are starting to show his skills "I'll tell you what Naruto I'll think about it, but no promises" he said getting the nod from Naruto "just remember old man, with my shadow clones I could do 1000 d ranked missions in one day, if they only took a single day for a single person to do.." the Hokage paled at that.. "oh god 1000 Naruto's doing missions, god damn one man army.." gears suddenly started to turn in his head...
