The Family of Konoha
"Now before I get started I can only tell you what I know about Naruto for some reason most of his past is top class information only a handful of people know everything" Reborn said to Tsuna, Ryohei, Gokudera, Yamamoto and Dino.
"Why is that?" Tsuna asked.
"To understand why I'll have to tell you about when Naruto was 4 basically when people started treating him like a monster" Reborn answered.
"A MONSTER?!" They all said with the excepting of Dino and Reborn.
"Why was he treated like a monster when he was only 4?" Gokudera asked.
"It's because of an incident that happened twelve years ago that took many lives in the Konoha village including the life of the Fourth Fire Shadow" Reborn answered.
(Flashback 12 years ago Konoha)
It was a sunny day and everyone was in high spirits as a festival seemed to be going on with games stalls and food and drink stalls all packed with patrons everyone seemed to be having fun, that was until a giant explosion happened in the middle of the festival and a giant monster fox with nine tails appeared from the smoke caused by the explosion everyone was looking in shock and horror as they have never seen anything like it before.
"WHAT IS THAT?!" Someone shouted
"IT'S A MONSTER WHERE DID IT COME FROM"
"EVERYONE GET BACK WE'LL HANDLE THIS" People turned around to see the Konoha mafia family stood there with the Third and Fourth Fire Shadow stood at the lead in their battle attire.
"LOOK THERES SOMEONE ON TOP OF IT!" A family member shouted whilst pointing to the top of the monster where there was a lone person stood looking down wearing an orange mask and black cloaks with red clouds on them.
The Fourth stepped forward and shouted "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" He shouted up to the masked man.
"I WANT TO DESTROY THIS PLACE AND KILL EVERYONE INCLUDING YOU MINATO!" He answered as he then jumped of the fox to a nearby building. "Go" He commanded the fox as it then started to rampage the village as the masked man then ran across the buildings to try to escape.
"We'll handle this Minato you go after him" The Third said as he ran towards the fox with the all the gathered Mafioso.
Minato then ran after the masked man.
The whole event went on for hours with no victory in sight but the monster. Suddenly stopped fighting and moved over to the direction the Fourth was fighting, the Third Hokage who was fighting was confused but got a small team with him and chased after the fox they followed it to a clearing where it was stood in front of a small child holding a small orange box the fox just stood there but suddenly turned into what looked like dying will flame and went into the box as it closed with a then a picture of a fox appeared on the box.
They looked around a saw no one else but the small boy who was just staring into space with tears in his eyes.
"Where did the fox go?" A mafioso asked.
"It would seem that the fox went inside that box the child is holding" The Third answered.
"Does that mean he's the one who attacked the village?" Another person said angrily.
"Don't be foolish he's just a child!" The Third shouted to the man.
"Sorry Third but if he isn't the one who did it then who is he I've never seen him" The man asked.
The Third looked at the child and sighed "I have he's an orphan from the village his name is Naruto Uzumaki".
(End of Flashback)
"That's all I know although that last part is actually shrouded in mystery I've always thought that it was the whole truth and since that day people have started to treat Naruto differently through rumours eventually people started to believe that Naruto was the fox himself" Reborn said as he looked at everyone's faces as they processed what they've just heard.
"But why was Naruto there in the first place?" Gokudera asked.
"The reason for his involvement was that the Fourth sealed the fox in the box and Naruto was used as his "jailer" per say" Reborn answered.
"What do you mean his jailer?" Tsuna asked.
"Well it was discovered that even at the age of four Naruto could use a 'Dying Will Flame' and his was compatible with the box but when asked he had no memory of anything that happened that day". Reborn answered.
"Wow Naruto has been through a lot" Yamamoto stated.
"Yeah I can't imagine what it's like growing up with everyone looking at you like that it doesn't sound extreme" Ryohei said.
"Reborn said that he thought that wasn't the whole truth so what could is the truth?" Tsuna wondered.
(With Naruto)
Naruto is currently lying down on a grass bank looking at the sky when he hears footsteps behind him he looks and see's Sasuke stood there.
"We're ready" he said as he turned and walked away.
Naruto got up at turn to walk towards a warehouse as he entered he saw all his guardians stood there waiting.
"Can I ask why we're doing this so soon boss?" Neji asked.
"Something is coming and we need everything we have" Naruto said as he looked and saw on a table a small orange box with a small hole and a picture of a fox on it.
"You do realise that this is the 10th time you've tried to control it this month don't you think you need to take a break from it" Shikamaru stated.
"It's okay just get in your places" Naruto said as everyone gathered round in a circle and started channel their Flames to their rings and created a barrier around Naruto and the box.
"We're okay in case this doesn't work again Naruto" Sasuke said.
"Right let's get this started you stupid fox" Naruto said looking at the box as he closed his eyes and started to channel his Flame in his ring and placed in the boxes hole. A bright light erupted from the box as a fox appeared the size of a two story house appeared and it went to attack Naruto before it disappeared back into the box.
"Another failure" Naruto said as he walked over and picked up the box remembering when he first got it.
(Flashback 12 Years Ago after Minato's fight)
Minato had just finished his battle with the masked man before he retreated, Minato would have chased him but he was in no condition too as he was heavily injured and he had a bigger problem to deal with as he looked back towards the village and saw the fox still rampaging.
"How am I going to deal with this" Minato thought out loud.
"Maybe we can help" He turned around to see his wife stood there with his son who was asleep in Kushina's arms.
"Kushina! What are you doing here with Naruto!?" He exclaimed as he flinched in pain. He then noticed that Kushina's clothes were torn and she too was badly injured.
"Kushina what happened?!" He shouted as he ran towards her as fast as he could, not caring about his own injuries.
"Me and Naruto we're getting ready for the festival when someone came and attacked us he somehow knew that I was in possession of the fox he kept asking where it was I didn't tell him until he blindsided me and took Naruto hostage and threatened to kill him if I didn't hand it over" She said as she started crying remembering it. "I'm sorry Minato I had to give it him he would have killed Naruto"
"It's ok as long as you're both okay now." Minato said reassuring Kushina whilst thinking what to do.
"Kushina I have an idea on how to deal with the fox but it will cost us dearly" Minato said.
"What do you mean Minato?" Kushina asked.
"We'll have to seal the fox back in the box but I don't have enough flames left to do it alone so I'll need you help seeing as you're the last jinchūriki of the fox so it's attached to your flame" Minato sighed "The problem is that in doing this we will die".
"What?!" Kushina said in a hushed voice "What do you mean we will die?"
"By doing this it will take up all of our Dying Will Flame" Minato said.
"What about Naruto we can't leave him alone and who is going to be the new jinchūriki?" She asked but as she looked at Minato who was looking at Naruto with sadness in his eyes. Her eyes widened as she figured it out "You want to use our son for that?! No we're not going to put him through all that!" She said angrily.
"We have to do this Kushina it's our job we can't let the fox continue to rampage" Minato said.
"What about Naruto we will never see him grow up can you really go through with that?" Kushina said as she started crying.
"We will see him" Minato said as Kushina looked at him "I'll also seal the last on our flames in the box so when the time comes we will be able to see him" Minato said as he was also tearing up.
Kushina sighed as she wiped her tears "Okay" She said in a quiet voice looking down at Naruto's sleeping form in her arms "Okay I'll do it"
Minato looked at Kushina with Naruto in her arms and hugged them both. He then took out an orange box from his pocket he held it tight as he and Kushina both started pouring their flames into the box.
As they were doing this Minato looked and saw that the fox was making its way to them. He then woke Naruto up. "Hey there Naruto I'm going to need you do me a favour I want you to try as hard as you can to channel your Dying Will Flame and put your hand on this box please".
Naruto looked around confused as he looked to his dad and mom who nodded at him "Go ahead Naruto its okay" Kushina said to her son.
"Okay I'll try" Naruto said as he closed his eyes and began to channel his flame which enveloped his body in a bright orange/yellow flame he then placed his hand on the box as it then seemed to start sucking up his flames.
Whilst this was happening the fox made its way into the clearing with the Third Fire Shadow in tow. They looked on as the fox made its way towards them.
"What's happening what's Minato-sama doing?" A family member asked.
The Third realising what was happening answered "He sealing the fox away and using his son as the jailer". He said.
"But what's going to happen to him?" The same man asked.
"It looks like he won't make through this" The Third said as he looked on as it seemed the sealing was complete.
"Okay its ready" Minato said as the fox went into the sealing box. He and Kushina then looked at Naruto to say their goodbyes.
"Now Naruto me and your mother are going to have go away now but don't worry you will see us eventually although it will be a long time promise me you'll be a good boy?" Minato asked.
"Why where are you going?" Naruto asked with sadness in his voice as he looked at his parents.
"Don't worry we won't be far" Minato answered as he looked to Kushina who nodded as she gave Naruto a big hug.
"Okay Naruto please remember don't be picky eat lots and grow strong. Make sure that you bathe every day and stay warm. Also don't stay up late you need lots of sleep and make friends you don't need a lot of friends just a few, also study real hard don't slack just Remember that everyone has strengths and weaknesses so don't get too depressed if you can't do something well." Kushina then started to cry more "Naruto, from now on, you're going to face lots of pain and hardship but remember to be true to yourself, also have a dream and have the confidence to make that dream come true. There's so, so much more that I want to pass on to you I wish I could stay with you longer please remember that we love you" she said as both her and Minato then faded into light and disappeared into the box.
Naruto just stood there motionless as he didn't know what just happened, "Mom Dad" he then passed out.
(End of Flashback)
"Don't worry I'll make you both proud" Naruto thought whilst smiling, he then looked at his guardians who all looked exhausted from creating the barrier "Let's call it a night here guys thanks for your help".
They nodded and turned to head to their rooms as Naruto took one last look at the box before picking it up and taking it to his room.
