Chapter 6

Naruto sat there in a stupor after Auki finished her tale, he stared at her wondering if he should believe her or not but the look on her face look pleading and fearful all at once. Sitting there he thought hard and could not find any fault with her story nor could he find a lie within her words, he stared at her.

'I have an older sister?' his mind kept repeating over and over. After the initial shock wore off his eyes started to water in happiness, launching himself into her he cried. "Sister! I have a sister!"

Hugging her little brother to her she too cried in joy but a small light laugh escaped her lips. "No you have an adoptive older sister," she corrected.

Shaking his head in disagreement he looked up at her in the eyes. "No! You being adoptive has no meaning to me for you are still family! You are my sister regardless of how you look at it!"

Tears fell freely from Auki's eyes and dripped down upon Naruto's clothed arm, she smiled with happiness as she brought him to her again. "But why? Why are you not mad at me for not being there when you needed me most? How could you even forgive me?"

"You had no choice, besides you are here now aren't you? How can I not forgive you when you were just honoring our fathers last wish?" Naruto reasoned smartly.

Chuckling Auki buried her nose into the crook of his neck. "You are too kind hearted for your own good little brother and I promise that I will never leave you alone again for as long as I live."

Parting from there heart felt hug they say across from each other and began to talk. Starting with Auki. "You know Naruto your name isn't only Uzumaki, now it's Namikaze too as my last name is."

Naruto grinned at that. "You bet! But uh…. May I ask you something Auki?"

Lifting a brow Auki nodded. "I believe you already did little brother."

Naruto scrunched his face up. "Hey! Just because you're my elder sister doesn't mean you can start teasing me right away!"

"Ok, ok. I will tease you later than, now what is the question?" she said as she held up her hands in surrender.

Scratching his temple he thought about all the questions he wanted to ask, he couldn't really make up his mind on which one to ask first. He sighed and settled for the easy one. The one about her getting him.

"Ok, I understand that you came for me because of your promise to our father and that you're my older sister and all but… did you really have to hurt my friends like that?" he started off.

"Well if you remember correctly I gave them the choice to step aside, it was their fault for not taking it," she answered in her defense.

Naruto considered her answer a little bit then nodded his head in agreement. "True. Question two: can you explain to me why you're not with either the Uchiha clan or the Hyuga clan?"

Auki sighed with sadness. "Neither of my parents wanted me I guess. Well that's what I was told anyways."

"Well that's stupid of them! Why anyone not want you is a mystery to me, you're wonderful from what I can see!" Naruto exclaimed with an honest opinion.

Smiling at his word Auki tapped his forehead plate with the leaf symbol on it with her knuckle of her index finger. "Thanks bro. Besides I don't think my father knew about me because when my care taker told me when I was old enough was that my mother was the one who gave me to her. My father was no where to be seen."

Naruto frowned at that and screwed his face up in thought. "Well do you know anything about them? I mean like their names or something?"

Blinking Auki than smiled at his antics in trying to get to know her, shaking her head before answering. "Well I know a little bit from what my care taker has told me but I don't know how good that information really is to tell you the truth."

"Well what are you doing, tell me?!" he pushed excitedly.

Auki laughed out loud at his childish antics but she answered him anyways. "Well from what she told me is that my mother was the youngest sibling of the Clan head in the Hyuga Clan. The Clan head had a twin brother I think… and she also told me that my mother said a little about my father too. Apparently he was already married and had a child already I think, he too was the Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan."

Taking all this information in Naruto started to compare in his mind who was who and what was what Than something clicked in his mind as the information he had and from what Auki had told him folded together which made his eyes widen with surprise.

'No freaking way!' Naruto's mind shouted in shock. "Ah hell's rushing roulette! This can't be possible!"

Auki looked at him with blinking wide eyes but with curiosity. "Naruto what is it?"

Naruto laughed nervously as he scratched the back of his head. "Oh nothing really. I was just thinking about something is all, but I promise to tell you later ok?"

Nodding her head slightly she smiled hesitantly. "Ok. So are there any more questions that you have?"

Pausing he blinked a few times before he grinned his Chester Cat grin. "Yeah. Uh… now that you have me what are you going to do with me?"

"I'm going to train you silly I thought that you knew this from the story that I told you from my past. Oh goodness Naruto you are one forgetful hooligan!" Auki snickered incredulously.

Naruto laughed. "Oh ok, that's great!" he said then stopped to think. "Uh Auki?"

She looked at him with a raised brow. "Yes."

"What's a hooligan?"


Shikamaru looked through the old files that were in the closet that hadn't been filed or shelved yet since there was remodeling going on in the Hokage Research and Library room. Why they called it that was beyond him but he wasn't going to complain about how ridicules the name was, well not when he was trying to solve a challenge. He had no clue what he was looking for but he knew when he found it, looking around in the cluttered closet with a sigh. That's if he ever found it.

"How in the hell am I to find anything in here when it's all nothing but a cluster fuck?" he grumbled to himself as he set aside another useless bit of information that he didn't either need nor wanted to know about.

He stepped into the closet further and squatted to pick through more piles and stacks of books and scrolls. Than he noticed a tattered well worn nameless book after he shifted a few things, picking it up he turned in over to look at the front and the back than at the spine but it truly had no name. Furrowing his brows he opened it up to the first page, there was hand writing that was neat but slanted and the name shocked him of who it belonged to… Namikaze Minato.

Closing the book he looked around a little bit more while holding the nameless book that held the Fourth Hokage's name within it. Finding three others like it with the same neat slanted hand writing with the Fourth's name, he gathered them up and left after not finding any more in the closet. He knew he could get into trouble for taking these out without permission but he felt that they didn't belong in there. Smirking he felt that Naruto had rubbed off on him somehow to become a rule breaker, shrugging he placed them in his bag and left. He hoped that the front desk wouldn't ask to see what he had in his bag, sighing as he casually walked by the desk which for some reason Sakura was there and he kept going until she spoke.

"Shikamaru where are you going? I thought you doing research for lady Tsunade," the pink haired power house said.

'Shit,' he thought. Pausing he turned his head slightly towards her direction. "I am but it's lunch time and I'm hungry, I'll be back in an hour than I will go right back to work."

Smiling sadly but calmly Sakura said softly. "Ok. don't be too long because Lady Tsunade is getting impatient."

Nodding once he left the building but Sakura narrowed her eyes in suspicion, she was wondering what he was up to for he was acting slightly different than normal and shrugging her shoulders she went on about her business figuring that if she had time she would see what he was up to. That's if she gets time before he came back.

Shikamaru sighed in relief as he headed toward Ichiraku Ramen, thinking and wondering what exactly was in these books that the Fourth's name was in were all about but he figured that they will give him some sort of clue. They were too thick to be journals but he had a feeling that he could be wrong, shrugging he was thing that he couldn't be right all the time.

"What a drag… Naruto where the hell are you?" he said to no one in particular.


"No Naruto you need to start listening to me, in order to do this you need to have a calmness and you need to logical or it wont work," Auki instructed calmly, she shook her head and smacked him in the back of his head none too gently. "Now focus!"

"Oi! Did you have to smack me?!" Naruto grumbled as he rubbed the lump in the back of his head that smarted with a dull throb. "Geez your hits are just as bad as Sakura's, maybe even worse."

Auki wanted to pull out her hair but refrained from doing so, sighing as she rubbed her eyes feeling a headache coming on she cracked an eye at him. She wondered how he could have learned anything at this rate and wondered what the hell Jiraiya could have ever taught him when he was like this. Smirking she figured that if the perverted Sannin could be able to teach him than so could she, hell he somehow taught her dad and he was almost as bad as Naruto was.

"Ok here's the deal since you can only do wind jutsus I will teach you new jutsus for it as well as the other four elements. But you will have to do what I say and you have to get it right," she bargained.

"What? Really?" he asked shocked as she nodded to him that she would. "But I thought that I can only do Wind type jutsus?"

She grinned with knowing eyes. "Yes that is true but it really doesn't apply to you really. You see since you have the Kyuubi inside of you, you could do more than one, two or even three elementals because unlike the other eight tailed beasts the fox demon can use all five elements."

Looking at his newly acquired sister in confusion, Naruto blinked at her. "Huh?"

"You got to be joking! I explained it as simply as I could for him. I guess he's used to being explained to more than once,' she thought annoyed. "Ok. You're going have to start listening better than that Naruto because I'm going to be explaining things only once but I will explain one more time but this will be the last. Do you understand?"

"Yes Auki-sensei!" he said as he stood in attention while saluting.

"Good. Now you know that there is five elements right?" Naruto nodded his head. "Ok name them."

Scratching his head he in thought. "Well there's Wind, Water, Fire, Earth and… damn it what was the last one? Lightning!"

"Good. Now that you know that it's simple, you see the nine-tailed fox demon is made up nothing but chakra which is energy and there for since he's the strongest out of all the nine-tailed beasts he can use all five elements. Since he is sealed inside you meaning you can use the five elements too because you had to grow with his chakra inside of you," she explained.

"Ok, now I get it!" he exclaimed excitedly.

Sigh. "Good now get back to your training," was all she said.

Nodding Naruto closed his eyes and concentrated on his inner being, he had to connect with himself more and know all of himself in order to be one with his chakra and soul or life force. What he didn't expect that he ended up in a sewer like place again where the fox demon was kept, his inner self scratched his head in confusion.

"What the hell am I doing in here for?" he asked out loud to himself.

/Welcome back brat. What do you want?/ the fox demon growled in a grumpy tone.

Naruto furrowed his brows. "Hey! I didn't mean to come here you over grown jerk off!"

The fox demon growled at his disrespect and slammed against the cage trying to get to him to rip him to shreds. /You will learn to respect me!/

"Why should I when you don't respect me? Have you heard of the saying treat others the way you want to be treated?" he snapped back with anger.

The nine-tailed sighed. /Point taken. If you didn't mean to come here than what were you doing in the first place?/

"Well I was trying to connect with my self better and be one with my self through mind, body and soul as well as with my chakra," Naruto answered as he looked around with disgust ever present on his face.

/Ah no wonder you ended up here./ the fox demon said with laughter in his deep growling tone. He saw that Naruto was looking at him with confusion. /You are trying to be one with all of you as you said so there for you came here because like it or not I am a part of you./

"Oh I see. Well than I guess that this is impossible to obtain because you are not to let out nor to be negotiated with because that would be disastrous. Well damn this is a disappointment. Well I guess I will have to tell my sister than," he said in a disappointed sigh.

The demon fox looked at him with what looked like a lifted brow. /Who ever said that I cannot be negotiated with? I'm not a mindless demon as some people would think, but I guess my actions speak louder than words./

"By the way I've been meaning to ask you. Why did you attack Konoha sixteen years ago?" the demon container said calmly.

/I don't remember. All I remember was that I was sleeping in my cave when a male shinobi with the leaf symbol upon his forehead disturbed me, I looked into his eyes. He had the same eyes as your friend Sasuke Uchiha and that woman you are working with had, I blacked out. When I awakened I was in here when you demanded me to pay you rent./ the demon answered which to Naruto sound like a sad sigh.

"You mean that the guy had the Sharingan? Than you must have been put in a Genjutsu, that's the only thing that I could come up with," he said in deep thought. "But that would mean that you were being controlled by that person."

The demon fox chuckled that sounded mixed between and growl and a rumble. /You're smart for someone that acts like an idiot all the time./

Naruto ignored the demons jibe and looked at the caged fox with new eyes. "So your telling me that you would have never attacked Konoha if it wasn't for the guy?"

The Kyuubi snorted with pride. /Believe it or not I'm a very peaceful demon, I pride my self for being rational and calm. I do not let my bloodlust control or consume me, it isn't becoming of a demon with high caliber such as my self./

Naruto sat down for a few minute to think, he wondered if he should believe him or not because he did attack Konoha. But he said that a Uchiha did use the Sharingan on him when he was in his cave trying to sleep, yet he couldn't help but wonder and fell like the demon fox was telling the truth.

"Why should I believe you?" he finally asked in a cautious tone.

The Kyuubi snorted. /Why should you believe in anything at all? Just because what I said was true or not true doesn't mean that there isn't a possibility that it could be true. You just have to know when to take risks and do what you feel in your heart is right, without risks you will never know anything is really truly true./

The demon fox's words hit him like a ton of bricks because he knew those words were true, he should have known that for he always took risks in finding out the truth in everything. He was thinking that he should take the chance but he had to talk to Auki about it first before he made a decision, maybe she might be able to help in this situation. Getting up he looked up at the fox and smirked.

"Thanks Kyuubi, I will be back so don't go anywhere," he said in a light tone.

The Kyuubi snorted in dry humor. /It's not like I can really go anywhere anyhow you smart mouthed runt./

"Oh yeah that's right," Naruto grinned in good humor. "Later!"

Naruto disappeared from there, he came back to consciousness and looked around to find Auki looking at him with a raised brow. "What?"

"You're one weird Ninja Naruto. So what did you talk to the Kyuubi about?" Auki said as she rested her chin in her palm.

"How did you know?" he asked surprised.

"Your chakra fluctuated between your normal chakra and that of the Kyuubi's. It didn't take a genius to figure it out that you were talking to the Fox Demon," she replied with a smirk. "But of course you would have to have my eyes to see it."

"Well…" he started and told her the conversation between him and his other occupant.
