A Home Away From Home

Previously on the Coming of the Clouds

"I... Understand and accept... But on two conditions." The Hokage simply nodded.

"The boy becomes a Yotsuki. I will be his new father." The Hokage nods his head again. "Second, he will know completely who he is. Every detail down to his parents. He deserves that much." The Hokage went to argue but decided against it, knowing the former Kage's stubbornness as being something of a legend.

"Agreed." Says the Hokage as the medic arrives.

Onto A Home Away From Home

Konohagakure, A day later...

The Hokage's office

Having being delivered to the Saidaime Hokage by none other than Killer B, after passing out, our young hero has finally awaken, wounds healed and a nasty headache that has left him feeling groggy.

"Ow-w, w-where am I? Jiji why am I here? Where is that freaky ojii-san at? H-how did I get here?" Asks a groggy and slightly scared Naruto.

Elsewhere in the village, a jinchuriki sneezes and becomes crestfallen... but quickly cheers up and starts rapping again to everyone in the general vicinity's displeasure.

"Hmm? Oh, Naruto-kun you are up. That freaky "ojii-san" as you put it saved you, so perhaps you shouldn't call him that," ' no matter how true it is.' "Also I have good news for you. I have found someone to train you, as well as adopt you."

At this the boy perked up all his fatigue disappearing.

"R-really, Jiji?"

"Yes, Naruto-kun," says the Saidaime Hokage with a smile.

"W-when can I meet them? W-who are they? W-what are they like? W-will they h-hate m-me?" Asks the boy as he unconsciously grips his stomach where the seal for the fox is.

"Naruto-kun, he already knows about the Kitsune and he knows you are not the kunai, but the seal that holds it. Also he has a adopted son just like you."

"Really?! He is like me?" The young blonde jinchuriki exclaims, thinking, 'I thought I was the only one...'

"Yes, Naruto-kun, from what I am to understand there are two people like you who live with him. This man is also incredibly strong, almost as strong as me, under his tutelage and care you will be the strongest you could ever be." The old Hokage says this as Naruto's eyes light up like stars, with wonder of how strong he will be.

"But there are conditions to this," Naruto instantly deflates, "first, I will tell you who your parents are and you will officially become their legacy." Naruto practically leaps out of his chair at this ready to ask a million and one questions about his parents but is silenced by a mere raise of the old Hokage's hand. "Second, you will no longer go by Naruto Uzumaki, using your mother, Kushina's last name. Nor will you use the last name of your father, Minato Namikaze, Yondaime Hokage of Konahagakure." Once again the boy almost tears out of his seat to ask all the questions he's had his entire life, but is silenced once more by a simple hand raise from the old man. "You will take the last name of the man adopting you. You will go by Naruto Yotsuki, third adoptive son of the Saidaime Raikage of Kumogakakure, Raizen Yotsuki." At this Naruto was gaping like a fish, why would this man want to adopt him? Would he have to leave Konoha? It was possible, he didn't want it but he would have leave if it meant becoming strong enough to protect Sayuri. Besides who is stronger than a Kage, he would definitely prove to be worthy of being a husband to either of them. But first he needed questions answer.

"Jiji, will I have to leave Konahagakure?" It was a simple question but it said so much about the boy. He was proving to be extremely mature for his age, if given different circumstances the old man would have been proud.

"Yes, Naruto-kun, you leave for Kumogakakure tomorrow morning. You will go with Raizen and his personal guard, escorted by two ANBU who personally volunteered to escort you to the border of fire country. Naruto-kun, I would also like to give you a few things before you leave," the Saidaime Hokage pulled out a headband with a piece of metal in the center with three engravings on it, " I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, hereby induct you into the Konahagakure Shinobi Corps. Do you swear to uphold the doctrine passed down from the beginning of this village to now, even with your dual-citizenship with Kumogakakure?" Naruto's eyes went wide as saucers, before he ducked his head down with his bangs over his face. Sarutobi looked worried until he heard a very quiet yes.

"Speak up! A Kage must be firm and resolute! Speak up and tell me if you accept!"

"I accept Hokage-sama!" At that the two smiled brightly at each other before bursting into laughter.

"Hahaha, that is enough of that for now. I will now tell you about your headband. There are three symbols on it for a reason. You now represent three villages instead of one," at this Naruto raised his eyebrow, "let me explain, your mother was from a village that was once our ally. A village made up of basically one clan, the late, great, and still feared to this day the Uzumaki, who played such a role for our village that we honor them to this day with placing their symbol on our Shinobi uniforms. The symbol on the far left stands for not only their clan but also their village Uzushiogakakure. Before you ask the reason they were so feared was because of their incredible talent with seals, a dying art form, of which your mother was the greatest, and with both her and your father's genes in you will most assuredly have a unnatural affinity to seals." The boy was grinning widely at this. "The Uzumaki also were known for their longevity and vitality. This also allowed them to have a large enough active Shinobi force to threaten any of the great five villages with their clan alone. In fact the only clan that could truly threaten them was their distant cousins, the Senju, one of Konoha's founding and unfortunately dying out clans. Your Great-Great Grandmother married the Shodaime Hokage, Harishima Senju, and produced two children, one remained here and took the Senju name, while the other was sent to Uzushio to live with her father. Her name was Mito Uzumaki, and she was the daughter of the Shodaime Uzukage, Kenshin Uzumaki, the greatest swordsman the Elemental Nations has ever seen. She was also the first jinchuriki of the Kyubi." At that the boy's eyes went wide again. "Now you must know Naruto-kun only an Uzumaki can contain the Kyubi, the beast requires a host with a larger than natural chakra network because of its potent Youki, which is known to be stronger than any of the other bijju. Only with the naturally dense and large chakra networks of an Uzumaki can one hope to contain it, but see you must understand there is another reason behind you being chosen to be the host. Your seal was designed with the intention of incorporating the beast's chakra with your own so that one day the two of you would be completely united, in a way even I cannot foresee. This only could be done to a newborn Uzumaki child with an undeveloped chakra network. Only such an infant could possibly handle and survive the procedure." The old Hokage pauses and then continues, "I believe, no I know that the Yondaime, Minato Namikaze, your father left this great duty and burden to you because he believed that you were the only one who could handle this. He believed in you, Naruto-kun, as I do now and I know you will make us proud." He finishes with a softer tone and a small smile on his face. "You are not only the heir to the Uzumaki but also the Senju. As I said before you are the great-great Grandson of the Shodaime Hokage and heir apparent to the Senju clan. Konoha tradition and law states all rights of inheritance pass to the last male born of a clan once he turns 16 or becomes a Shinobi of the village officially becoming recognized as an adult of the village. Those conditions all apply here but unfortunately they require another member clan to be here to handle affairs of the clan, and the only other Senju or Uzumaki that I know of is currently... indisposed." He said the last part with hesitation knowing of his ex- student, Tsunade's state. "Hmm... A Hokage expert such as yourself should need no explanation as to who the Senju are? Right, Naruto-kun?" The old Hokage asks already knowing the answer to his question.

"Of course Jiji! The history of the Kages of the great five villages is something I paid extra attention to! The Hokages even more so!" Shouts the blonde as he is jumping out of his seat. Sarutobi merely chuckles at the blonde jinchuriki's actions. "Then you should refresh my memory, Naruto-kun. I am old nowadays and my memory is not as it use to be."

Naruto snorts at that, " Please Jiji they don't call you the professor for nothing. Besides you were trained by both the Shodaime and the Niidiame Hokages, who were both Senju, and not to mention you trained the denetsu san'nin, of most notably Jirraya the Gama Senin who trained the Yondaime Hokage, or in other words my father. You trained Jirraya along with Orochimaru the Hebi Senin and Tsunade Senju, the miracle worker," the boy's face fell at the mention of Tsunade but quickly perked up, "for the man who coined the term 'will of fire' forgetting anything related to Konoha would be unforgivable, right Saidaime-samma?" Asked the boy, snickering.

"Hehe, you would be right, Naruto-kun."

"The Senju clan was a large clan during the first great Shinobi War. They were known for their water and earth Jutsu that were said to rival the Uchiha's fire Jutsu. They originally came from present day water country and began encroaching on the Uchiha and Hyuga territories at the time. The Senju were loosing to the superior doujutsu of the two much larger clans, when Harishima Senju, our Shodaime Hokage, unlocked his kekkai genkai, the mokuton, and turned the battles towards their favor. It would be a short time later that Madarra Uchiha would unlock the second stage of his Sharingan, the Mangenkyo Sharingan, through the mastery of his Sharingan. But rather than fight, Madarra and Harishima joined together to form the first ninja village. With no land of their own the two used the fortunes of both their clans to purchase some land from the mighty Hyuga clan. Rather than just selling off their land the Hyuga saw this as a chance to strengthen themselves. Having heard of the prowess of Harishima and Madarra they saw that they gain two very strong allied clans and be able to defend themselves from anything. Thus the founding clans were planted and rooted into the ground just like the forest Harishima made to surround the village. Peace was secured for four years until Madarra Uchiha attacked the village using Kyubi which the Shodaime soundly defeated with his mokuton. I also suspect my great grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, became the first jinchuriki because of that event. The events of the fight would cost Madarra his life and lead to the distrust of the Uchiha. The Shodaime would spend the rest of his short life going around sealing the bijju and giving them to the strongest villages at the time. When he began his travels, his younger brother Tobirama stepped up as Hokage and developed Konoha true strength. He led us through the second Shinobi war but died towards the end at the hands of the gold and silver brothers from Kumo and nominated you as Hokage on your last mission with him. The Senju all but disappeared from the textbooks till Tsunade emerged with her teammates Jiryaya and Orochimaru and the rest is as they say history."

"Wow... Naruto-kun you certainly know your stuff when it comes to Konoha. You must really want to be Hokage."

"Hehehe... Blame Sayuri-chan. She insisted I take lessons with her. She said the future Hokage and in turn her future husband has to be at least this smart if that is their goal..."

Thinking on it Naruto realized he would be going to Kumo. How would Sayuri take it? He would be gone for a very long time. Would they remember him, the would grow up just as he would. How will she feel about this? He can almost imagine how mad and upset she will be. Consequences be damned. Hell if after this was all over with his heritage they would probably force an arranged marriage on him. At least he would be able to be with her. He would be a flight risk, right?

"Naruto-kun, I am sure they will understand. If not I know she will come to." Sarutobi says almost reading the boy's mind.

At this, Naruto rushes to hug the Saidaime Hokage who welcomes the hug from his surrogate grandson. "Now I'm sure you know what the middle symbol is right, Naruto-kun?" The boy nods his head vigorously, and Sarutobi chuckles at this. "It is the symbol of Konohagakure, the symbol of your will of fire. So that you will always be able to return here if you want. A leaf for Konoha with a swirl in the center, once again a testament to the help the Uzumaki have given us. The last symbol is that of your new home, Kumogakakure. A storm cloud a testament of things to come. Remember Naruto-kun storms bring as much or more life than they destroy. They are new beginnings." (AN: I love symbolism...)

The Hokage sat still for a second before reaching into his desk and taking his pipe out. This left the boy to his thoughts. 'So I am the heir to several extremely large legacies... Why do I feel like the whole world has fallen on my shoulders? Heir to the Uzumaki, heir to the Senju, jinchuriki of the Kyubi no Yoko and legacy of the Yondaime Hokage, and apparent heir to the Yotsuki clan, producer of two of the four Raikages of Kumo. Yeah I'm awesome.'

"Naruto-kun," this snapped the boy out of his thoughts, "the man you will be going to live with will be arriving here later today. Go and say your goodbyes and be back tomorrow morning for introductions. You will be leaving after you meet him here so don't forget to pack some essentials for your journey, and not just ramen," the boy gave a sheepish smile at that, "oh and I have a few things of your parents here for you," the Saidaime pulls out four scrolls and a small wooden box, "two of these four scrolls are from your parents, one is a taijutsu style I think you will like, and the last is a scroll containing a beginners guide to fuinjutsu. There are ten levels this scroll goes up to two. If you wish to go farther you will have to find someone to teach you." The boy was drooling from just getting the scrolls from his parents, the thought of him getting a awesome taijutsu style and a beginners course on fuinjutsu was almost to much for him. Just thinking about what the box held was almost to much for him.

"Last but not least is this box. As you can see it is ornately decorated with waves and wind. It is a heirloom of the Uzumaki left in my possession

by your mother. She placed it under my supervision when Uzushiogakakure." Giving into temptation the boy opens the box and finds one gold medallion with the Uzumaki swirl on it and surprisingly enough the Senju trident is in the center of it. Next to are three similar ones all with the same insignia. "They are worn by the head of the Uzumaki clan and his three future wives. There are only three of the silver ones, so do not give them out lightly. The gold one is for you. As to why there are three of them you must understand that the Uzumaki had tremendous lifespans so they would take multiple out of clan wives because they would most assuredly out live them. This also allowed for then to introduce new blood into the clan to keep any clan born illnesses from showing up." The old Hokage stopped for a second to let the blonde understand what he just said. Naruto would most assuredly be required to take multiple wives it was a fact one he would have to come to terms with but if he went about it this way he would be able to prevent them for choosing for him this also meant he could be with Sayuri. But he would leave it to her to decide that, until then he just wouldn't tell her Yep that works! Let's go with that! Yay for procrastination!

"I think you have a little ladies you will want to give one of those to." The old Hokage says, wiggling his eyebrows.

"That was uncomfortable Jiji. I am going now... Bye!" Naruto says quickly leaving the room. 'How many perverts will I face in my life?'

Simultaneously, a purple haired jounin, a silver haired ANBU operative with gravity defying hair, a old Hokage, a certain Gama san'nin (toad sage), a young Hyuga, a foreign young girl with pink eyes, a giant cat trapped in a blonde, a very young bespectacled red head, and a certain giant fox all sneezed, thinking that someone was cursing their existence.

Later that day

Having eaten and said his goodbyes to the Ichirakus, young Naruto is currently packing what he will need to leave. Deciding rather than actually talking to Sayuri for various reasons, he has written a letter and placed it in a small box with one medallion for her. The box for Sayuri was done with black shiny wrapping paper with red trimming and a matching ribbon, tied in a ribbon with a shortened black rose tied up in the bow.

He hand delivered it to the Uchiha compounds. He gave the box to Mikoto. said his goodbyes to her, and then he asked for the box to be given to the girl tomorrow morning, stating that he would rather they do it so he would not truly find a way to regret leaving.

That night at home he tossed and turned with dreams of how tomorrow would go and of what the future will hold.

Early the next morning

Outside the Hokage tower

"Heh, so today is the day I leave, huh? The next time I return here I will be stronger, I bet Jiji will just give me the hat! Hehehehe!" Naruto says, rubbing his nose.

Looking up to the Hokage monument again, he can just imagine it. He would be up there next to his father. He did not feel any sort of hatred towards his father and mother. He understood what needed to be done and he could say without a doubt he would have done the same in their place. The village comes first. That would be the secret to his ninja way, he would do what was necessary to protect his precious people and to protect this village left to him by his parents. He would defend his home to his last.

Deciding to go in to the office, the boy began to head toward the actual Hokage's office. As luck would have it the two ANBU guarding the door were two he was familiar with.

"Inu-nii, Itachi-san..."

"Outoto, I can't believe you would leave before saying bye to us." Kakashi says without his Inu mask, in his standard ANBU gear on, eye-smiling. Itachi is standing next to him with an uncharacteristic smile on his face, wearing his civilian clothes.

"I cannot believe you visited with kaa-san and not me, Naruto-kun. Well I thought I would come say bye to you and give you something from Sayuri-chan." He pulls out a small piece of black cloth with the Uchiha fan on it wrapped up around a letter and hands it to the boy. "She said 'don't forget me.'"

"Thanks, Itachi-san."

"Lastly the two of us have gifts for you." Kakashi says pulling out a small paper back book and a small paper bound parcel. Itachi takes out a a small necklace with a small blade in it. The small blade is a straight blade with an all wooden hilt with no guard. The sheath and hilt were all black. The boy takes the blade and looks at it with awe.

"Naruto-kun this is the blade I had given to me by my family when I first joined the ANBU. I am giving this to you because with this you will always know that I am always on your side." Itachi says, smiling a sad smile at the boy.

"In the package I gave you are a set of throwing knives. Though they are not as versatile as kunai, they are better crafted for hand to hand fighting, and fly better than any kunai I have seen." The boy looks at the present in awe at his elder brother's generosity. Half crying the boy latches himself onto his older brother and cries into his stomach .

"Alright outoto as for my second gift you cannot open it until you leave fire country." Kakashi says giggling to himself.

"Okay nii-san. Thank you both for the amazing gifts! Bye!" The boy says rushing past the two ANBU into the office.

Inside he found the Hokage behind his desk smiling and talking to a large dark skinned man with two other large Kumo Shinobi behind him. One he recognized as the man that saved him, the other he had no idea who was.

"-and this is the boy. Come here Naruto-kun this is the man you will be leaving with. Raizen-san this is Naruto-kun."

"Hello boy."

"Hello oujii-san"

"No manners Sarutobi. I guess we will fix him of that later," Raizen growls out turning around and heading out the door. "Boy let's go."

He picks up the boy and his knapsack like they were nothing and flies out of the building. Outside he picks up his speed and moves through the village like nothing, followed closely by his two escorts.

Earlier that morning

Uchiha compound

"-up, Sayuri," says Mikoto Uchiha, trying to stir her young daughter awake. "It is time for your early morning lessons. Also Naruto-kun stopped last night to drop off something for you."

"But Okaa-san I don't want to get up yet." Says a half awake Sayuri.

"Well I guess you don't want Naruto-kun's present," Mikoto says gesturing to the box and letter on the girl's dresser. "I guess it's unimportant-" the box is gone and in the young girl's hands in the blink of an eye.

"Thanks, Okaa-san. Now, c-can you leave?" Asks a blushing Sayuri.

"Hehehe, don't want me to see what your little boyfriend got you. Well just so you know I'm here for you..." Mikoto says, smiling sadly at her daughter, as she leaves the room.

The girl hurriedly tears apart the package, stopping only to admire the care that was put into it. Having ripped off the flimsy wrapping the girl takes hold of the small rose that adorned it. Looking at it endearingly the girl quickly puts it in her hair, smiling. Gently the girl opens the small box. Inside she finds a silver medallion with the Senju trident in a swirl on it. The girl spends the better part of the next ten minutes looking at it and running her hands over the symbol. She reluctantly sets it on her stand, and tears open the letter.

'Dear Sayuri,

I have been adopted by the Saidaime Raikage of Kumogakakure, and I leave for Kumo tomorrow. If my plan works out you will be reading this a day after I leave, if not please do not come see me. If... If I were to see you or Hinata I would be unable to leave. I realize if I stay here in Konoha I will never be able to get strong enough to protect either of you... I have also found out my lineage. My clan was called the Uzumaki and as it turns out I am a descendant of the Shodaime making me the last male heir of the Senju. There is more but I cannot say. The medallion I have given will offer you protection from most things, and well it is my promise that I will return to you... There are only three like it in the world. Remember that I will always love you, Beni-hime.

Love,

Naruto Uzumaki, future Hokage'

Meanwhile, a very tired Itachi Uchiha has just returned home from a exhausting day. Walking in he says hi to his mother and father and receives cheerful acknowledgments back from them (or a noncommittal 'hnnn' from his father). After hearing from his mother of Naruto's departure, he casts a meaningful glance towards his sisters room. Deciding to check on her he wearily walks to her room, when he hears banging inside her room. His ninja experience kicks in and starts to rush towards her room. Quickly opening her door he finds it to be in a state of disarray and in the middle of the mess he saw his little sister curled up in a ball on the floor, crying.

Silently he walks over to her and sits down carefully he reaches over and pulls her hair out of her face. Carefully stroking her hair he asks, "Are you okay, Mouton?"

"Itachi-nii, please leave me alone..." The girl says not even looking at her brother.

Sighing sadly he turns to leave but a small hand stops him.

"Itachi-nii, on the stand there is a letter and a handkerchief for him."

"I will make sure he gets them."

"Also tell him not to forget me."

Casually he takes the handkerchief and letter and takes off in a flash. It seems he would not rest today.

Author's Note

Sorry about the wait I am unfortunately without Internet so it is a bitch to upload these on a schedule right now. I will try to be prompt with uploads though I will work hard for all of you.

As for this chapter, kinda unsure about the ending. It was horribly abrupt but I was trying to get this out as soon as I could but no Internet. So sorry!

As usual comment and fav just be gentle!

Edit: (STAYS the same cuz it is all that I wanted other than getting rid of Hinata)

Hmm fixed a few things and read over the ending again. I kinda like it, it seems like how Raizen would act. I did try to add a few lines for Hachabi-samma but nothing worked. Plus it seemed like a drag to me... Also I may have a very good friend of mine drawing up what my Naruto will look like when he returns to Konoha. There will be no real training arc in Kumo but there will be two filler chapters made by me for Naruto down the road. Next chapter I will give Naruto his summonS. Yes I mean summons he will not have a true summoning clan contract... Oh you will see... Lastly I placed a hint in this chapter somewhere of the last girl... Guess if you would like!
