Cry of the Rain
Legacy Learned
Jutsus
Thoughts
Kyuubi
OOC: And this is the start of the new part of the Cry of the Rain, Legacy's Call. What it holds is the Exams, Naruto's extra training, and the developing appearance of Akatsuki, Orochimaru, and finally Naruto learning who he is exactly at the end. This will take 3-6 chapters at the least and up to 10-12 at most. This first one is short to me, but I ran out of muse but the Legacy's Call arc will be fun!
I don't own Naruto
Sakura gasped and looked in at shock at her boyfriend's blood red eyes and didn't speak, too shocked by the news. She then raised a hand and caressed Naruto's right cheek and said, "Naruto-kun, I don't care if you're the jailor, or are the Kyuubi, I love you, and that's what matters." Naruto smiles and nods, his eyes changing back to sapphire. He hugged her and she hugged back, as Naruto knew he chose right with Sakura. Shizaru spoke, "Now, rest you two, we're going to need it for sure." He smiled at them as the couple got into the same tent. Shizaru shook his head, chuckling and he looked to the stars and spoke to himself, "I think it is time I tell him." He then looked at the tent and then to the moon and furrowed his eyebrows before going by his tent.
As morning came, the team began to wake, and Naruto was the last to wake, but was able to. The team continued to walk towards Konoha, and in little time, they saw the large gates. They nodded and decided to report quickly to the Hokage. They burst off, actually having a race. Shizaru and Kakashi got there first, followed by Naruto, Sakura, and then Sasuke. Kakashi spoke, "Mission completed, but there were issues." Sarutobi raised an eyebrow and says, "What issues?" Kakashi glanced to Sasuke and said, "We were briefly attacked by two people wanting Naruto, Uchiha Itachi was the recognizable one." Sarutobi frowned and said, "Very well, I assume they all know?" Shizaru shook his head, "Sasuke does not but we don't need him learning." Sasuke, who was plainly right there, growled and said, "I deserve to know why my brother wanted Naruto." Shizaru said, "Leave now, Emo." Sasuke was defiant, until Naruto used a technique to send him away.
Sarutobi nodded and said, "So you know about the Kyuubi, Sakura?" Sakura nodded and said, "I know Naruto-kun is the jailor, yes." Sarutobi nodded sagely and said, "Very well, it is time I tell you the night's ordeal." He took a puff of his pipe and said, "A mother had gone into labor that day, and she was the Yondaime's wife. We received news quickly of the fox approaching and the Yondaime was quick to rush off, promising he would be back." Naruto listened intently as Sarutobi continued, "When he returned, the Kyuubi was coming closer, but he had a plan, to seal the Kyuubi in his own child." Naruto's eyes widened at what this meant. Sarutobi spoke, "When the child was born, the mother held him close, but finally let the Yondaime have him. The preparations were dealt with and it was all done, and the Kyuubi was sealed." Naruto stood there shocked, and Sakura didn't understand until Sarutobi spoke again, "The names were Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime, and Uzumaki Kushina, His wife." Sakura then put 2 and 2 together and made 4. She this time made a large gasp and looked at Naruto.
"You are the legacy of the Yondaime, Naruto." Spoke Sarutobi. Naruto said, "W-Why me?" Sarutobi sighed and said, "He wanted you to be the hero, there was no other way." Naruto started to back up, his eyes coming to tears. Shizaru tensed, feeling something he hadn't since he made his sister mad that one day. Naruto cried out, "I don't believe you!" And he burst out, running. Shizaru sighed and said, "It'll take time." Sarutobi said, "Shizaru, Sakura, go and find him." The two nodded and rushed off to follow Naruto. Sarutobi spoke, "He has the bloodline doesn't he?" Kakashi nodded and said, "He would of hurt Itachi had Itachi not moved." Sarutobi sighed and said, "I'll get Jiriya back, He knows that bloodline too well." Kakashi nodded and left to read Make Out Paradise. Sarutobi sighed and said, "To think that he developed it so early." Sarutobi sat back and rubbed his chin and said to himself, "He has so much potential."
Meanwhile…
Naruto came to a lake and crashed down onto the grass by it, curling up and crying out. He spoke out loud, sobbing, "Why did he pick me, why was I chosen to bear this." He held himself, crying a lot of tears. He heard footsteps and Shizaru spoke, "Naruto, Minato picked you because he wanted you to be a hero, to save Konoha from their situation, He didn't expect Konoha to be blind as it is." Naruto didn't look at him. He felt arms go around him and he heard a soothing female voice, "Naruto-kun, your father loved you very much, I am sure he is sorry he put the burden on you, but you're so strong, and while everyone sees you as what they see you as, I love you, no matter what." Naruto slowly came uncurled and looked at Sakura, his cheeks red. Sakura leaned in and kissed Naruto softly, prompting Naruto to kiss back. He held Sakura close in their soft, loving kiss. Naruto broke it and said, "T-Thank you, Sakura-chan."
She smiled and said, "Anything for you, Naruto-kun." She hugged him again and he hugged back. He pulled back and looked at Shizaru and said, "What was that I used earlier, The whole torrent of dragons?" Shizaru chuckled and said, "I will tell you another time, You just took in a lot of information." Naruto nodded and then said, "How did you know my parents." Shizaru smiled and sat by the couple and said, "Well, I was a friend of Minato, and was his fellow prankster friend, but also an advisor to him in tough times." Naruto nodded and said, "How did you know my mother?" Shizaru sighed and said, "Well, It's a long story, you see I was born in Kirigakure. As I later learned, My grandparents raised me, instead of my parents. I was raised in Kirigakure and trained there. I became a swordsman, and I was a great one, at a young age." Naruto and Sakura listened intently as Shizaru continued, "So, as I grew up, I had no idea of who my family really was, and I went on to become a young swordsman with enough power to be a trump card. I was swift, deceiving, and more." He chuckled and shook his head.
He then said, "Then I came here and met your father, and then your mother. We became friends, and then a letter came, from my parents. You see, I am Uzumaki Shizaru." Naruto's eyes widened as Shizaru finished up, smiling softly
"I am your uncle Naruto."
And Naruto fainted.
