Well everybody I'm back with a new chapter! First let me say I'm sorry that I haven't updated in while, but in my defense I had a little difficulty writing this chapter and I'm still not totally sure it's as good as it could be, so please bare with me. If anyone has a question or is confused about something in this chapter feel free to leave a review or message me and I'll try and answer your questions. Also let me go ahead and say that I'm great when it comes to describing or coming up with a house or mansion idea as easily as I can an outfit for someone, so if you want a little bit of a better idea as to what the Namikaze house looks like go to Google images and search 'Traditional Japanese Mansion' it should be one of the first ones to pop up. Many have probably noticed this, but I'm not exactly the best at writing prolong training periods, so their will be a time skip in the next chapter after certain events happen. I will try and write out some of the training for a later and much larger training event, but other than that expect time skips whenever I do training stuff.

I don't own anything

Tsukuyomi-chan- LOL no matter how many times I read your reviews thy always manage to bring a smile to my face. Now I hope you didn't get into any trouble because of me, but if you did, blame my wonderful writing skills. Also, I hope your ready for a cat fight soon, cause the second Yugito and Hinata see each other in a later chapter, its going to be chaos. Have fun!

animeman12- I thought it would be a good idea to help add in some drama and tension between Konoha and Kumo.

JMyers14- I was going the manipulative nature of a fox with Naruto, so it looks like I did a good job. Also I already have ideas for all the swords, but if you could keep sending any of the riddle ideas you have for them I'd really appreciate it! You'll have to wait a little longer though if you want to see Yugito mop the floor with Hinata.

DarkPirateKing69- I'm glad you enjoyed that scene, I also like it when Naruto is in control of everything and no one ever knows about it until the shit hits the fan. I hope this next chapter lives up to your expectations for it, and about the Third...we'll to wait and see.

Timetraveliajutsu- There is no such thing as a stupid question my friend, and as for your answer, remember at the beginning of the story Kurama trained him in some of the ninja arts, and him being a fox one of his best is stealth.

WolfCoyote- Thank you for your always excellent review my friend. I'm glad that you enjoyed so many parts of that chapter and I hope to not disappoint anyone with future chapters. Also your ideas and suggestions, as always, are excellent, I was actually considering doing the one about Tsunade and Jiraiya, but I still thought of a way to go about it, oh well we'll save that for a later date.

FinalKingdomHearts- I'm sorry if your a fan of hers, but that's how she will stay in this story, no exceptions.

bankai777- I was considering doing something like that, but I haven't decided on whether to or not yet.

sheltie- Thank you for your compliments, I have always been a fan of your Harry Potter fics so coming from you, that means a lot.

Ultima Phoenix- He may be an idiot in this fic, but remember he just wants his 'grandson' back so he's willing to take any risk to get him. Also, places for the swords are still up in the air at the moment, but I will definitely be putting them into places that match their element.

Nas45- You may not like it, but your one many who read this story that like the idea.

Lednacek- It's a pet name for her mate.

Drexal15- I never was a big fan of Killer Bee's sword style, so I doubt I'll do something like that.

son of wind- Ok, we have a winning riddle for the Kajijin! Congrats my friend!

Chapter- 10

Naruto walked through the forest behind the Hokage Monument with his team and siblings following him. Kakashi had delivered the map to his clan's compound that morning along with instructions to the Hokage personal library. He and Yugito had returned early that morning only to be greeted by a smirking Anko and Kakashi who hadn't let up in their teasing one bit since they left the apartment.

"I still can't believe that you're getting a five hour long make-out session and you're only thirteen! Man I said it last night and I'll say it again, you're gonna get laid by the time your fifteen!" said Anko while Kakashi started giggling with a slight blood stain on his mask. Said blondes blushed crimson for about the hundredth time that morning, 'I swear, if this is the teasing we get when we go make-out then I don't want to imagine what neesan will do when we actually do it,' thought Naruto as he continued to lead them through the lush forests of Konoha.

"Knock it off with the teasing sis, or I'll tell everyone your secret little fantasy," said Naruto with a smirk playing at his lips. Anko shut up instantly, a shocked look on her face.

"You wouldn't really do that would you little brother?" she asked with a nervous laugh. The mischievous fox smirk on her little brothers face was the only answer she got, 'The little brat is starting to take after me more and more.' They continued their journey in silence after that, with the only sound being that of Anko's murmuring about 'evil little brothers with big mouths.' After another twenty minutes of walking, they came upon the beautiful sight that was the entrance to the Namikaze clan compound.

Instead of the fancy iron crafted gates that the other clan compounds were known for, the entrance to the Namikaze compound was a traditional Torii gate with a brick wall surrounding the rest of the compound. At the top of the gate was the Namikaze clan symbol, nine tomoe surrounding the kanji for 'shinobi' was carved into the wooden face of the gate in gold. No one spoke for what seemed like hours, but in reality were only a few minutes, before Kakashi decided to break the silence.

"Naruto, the gate is sealed with a blood seal that can only be released with the blood of a Namikaze or Uzumaki. Your mother and father were like parents to me, I spent most of my time when I wasn't on missions here with them. Your parents were true master of the art of sealing, with their combined knowledge and skill they managed to create the barrier that protects the compound. I still remember the first time your father showed me how the barrier worked, and to this day I am still amazed at what they created. The barrier around your compound is the ultimate defense, unbreakable accept to those who know the secret behind it. Naruto you need to stand in front of the gate and smear your blood on the seal in the center of it," Kakashi explained to amazement and confusion of everyone else. There wasn't any seal on the gate, just the opening that led into the compound.

'Hey Kurama, lend me your eyes for a second,' said Naruto to his tenant. 'You got it kit,' came the demonic reply from the fearsome Kyuubi. Naruto closed his eyes and felt the familiar prickling that signaled the change. Opening his eyes revealed the blood red iris with slitted pupil and black sclera, looking at the Torii gate now revealed a light blue barrier preventing anyone or anything from entering the compound. His eyes widened when he saw the blood seal in the center of the barrier, seemingly floating in the air. Shacking off his momentary shock, Naruto stepped up to the invisible seal and after biting his thumb, smeared his blood on the seal watching as it glowed for a split second before disappearing along with the portion of the barrier around the gate.

While all this was going on, Kakashi had uncovered his Sharingan so he could watch the barriers reaction to his little brother's blood. Yugito had followed her boyfriend's example and used Matatabi's eyes to see the barrier and was suddenly hit with inspiration when she saw the energy moving through the barrier as if blown by a gentle wind. 'Kitten, that's a brilliant idea! Though it will take a long time to complete with all the factors that have to go into it; first you need to be much more proficient in my special jutsu's and second you'll need to be a borderline master of seals, or at least the barrier aspect of them,' said Matatabi as Yugito mentally nodded in agreement. 'Yeah, and that would mean more quality time with my Naruto-kun,' she thought as an image of her and Naruto studying seals together entered her head, only to regret it immediately as her perverted tenant started teasing her and warping her original image to one of her and Naruto doing some very perverted things in a public library. 'MATA, WE'RE TO YOUNG FOR THAT AND WHO THE HELL WOULD DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN PUBLIC OTHER THEN YOU!'

"Hey Yugito wake up!" shouted Karui snapping her out of her thoughts with her tenant.

"Huh, what?" was her intelligent reply as she tried to get her bearings back.

"I said come on, everyone's already exploring the rest of the compound," she said before grabbing her female team mates hand and dragging her through the gate. The sight that greeted them was one they wouldn't soon forget, the main house of the compound was at least three stories tall and was built in the traditional Japanese style, the walls were a stained black wood with some intricate designs carved into the columns in the corners of the house, the roof was made out of obsidian black tiles that gleamed in the light of the noon day sun. Off to the side of the house they could see a large lake with koi fish swimming just below its surface. "Whoa," breathed the two stunned kunoichi, the house seemed to give off an aura of comfort and yet there was an underlying feeling of dread for anyone who wasn't welcome.

"Hey you two check this out!" the sound of their male team mate's voice knocked the two stunned kunoichi out of their stupor. Running to where they heard Naruto's voice, they found him standing with their sensei and his siblings looking out over the area behind the house. Behind the house was a training field easily the size of the Konoha Stadium with lush trees surrounding the area helping it to blend in with the forest around them. Off to the side of the house there was a hot spring that had Yugito and Karui almost drooling at the thought of the relaxing water working its magic on their bodies. "Well, let's take a look inside, after that I'm gonna find my father's library," said Naruto as he walked back around to the front door with everyone following. When they reached the front door, Naruto used the key that Kakashi had given him that morning and opened the door for everyone to enter. The entry hall was fairly simple with a few paintings hanging on the wall, on their left was a doorway leading to a fairly large kitchen with a doorway to the living room just opposite the kitchen door. At the end of the hall they could see a hallway leading to some backrooms with a staircase next to it.

"Let's get our things put away then get some training done, we can explore the house later," said Naruto as he moved towards the steps where Kakashi indicated the bedrooms to be. After everyone was settled into a room, with Naruto taking the master bedroom, they all met up in the spacious living room to decide on what their next move would be.

"Now that we're all settled, we can start your all's training for the finals," said Darui as he watched his team nod in agreement. "Naruto for now see what you can find in your clans library and train with that, also try and find out any information on where your ancestors might have hidden the Uzumaki Vault. Yugito, see what fire jutsu you can find in the library and work with those until Dodai and Bee arrive to help. Karui, I can only teach you so much kenjutsu since are styles are so different, but in the mean time I'll train you in a few more water jutsu until we can find someone to help you with some more advanced kenjutsu."

"Actually Darui, I might know someone who can help with that," said Anko catching everyone's attention, "You probably don't know this, but Kurenai and I were on the same genin team along with Hayate Gekko, we were taught by your mom Naruto, Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze. She was an expert in almost every field of the shinobi arts and we each took after her in one way or another. I took after her in assassination and ninjutsu, Kurenai obviously took after her in genjutsu, and Hayate took after her in terms of kenjutsu and he's the best kenjutsu user in the village at the moment. He came to me after the exams and asked me if Naruto was indeed Kushina-sensei's son, when I told him you were he swore on his life as a shinobi to help you in any way he could. I think he would be more than happy to assist in your all's kenjutsu training."

Naruto sat thinking for a few minutes before nodding his head, turning to Anko he gave her the ok to find him and bring him to the compound to help with their training. As soon as the words left his mouth, Anko and Kurenai were out the door in search of their team mate, their squeals of happiness still lingering in the air.

"Ok, those two scare me," said Karui as she suppressed a shudder. Everyone else nodded in silent agreement, it was scary how fast the two kunoichi could go from their 'ice queen' persona to giggling, squealing teenagers.

"Well, while those two are busy, let's get started," said Naruto as he stood up, "Kakashi, you and Guy head out and find the entrance to the Hokage library, after you know where it is come get me and we can begin phase two of the plan." With a nod from the jounin's they left in a shunshin to begin their search, knowing that their little brothers plan couldn't go forward without the library. "Yugito-chan, lets head to the library and start our studying, Karui when you're done with Darui-sensei you can join us, ok?" with that the blonde couple walk towards the back of the house, leaving their smirking team mate and sensei in the living room.

"Let's hope they don't do anything naughty, right sensei?" said Karui as she watched the couple leave.

"Right, well I guess we better get started to," said Darui as he stood up and headed towards the training field in the back with his red-haired student following.

With Naruto and Yugito

Our two favorite blondes had just reached the library, and were having trouble keeping their jaws attached to their bodies. The library was huge! From what they could see, it was almost as large as the master bedroom, which took up a good chunk of the third floor! Somehow managing to pick his jaw up off floor, Naruto took a closer look around the library, shelves upon shelves of books and scrolls lined the walls and the middle of the floor all the way to the back of room, where he could just make out the outline of a vault door.

"Come on Yugito-chan, let's take a closer look," he said breaking his still dazed girlfriend out of her stupor. Nodding in agreement, the two of them started to explore the library and figuring out where everything was and how it was all sorted. The first thing they noticed was that the scrolls and books were sorted by into the five major categories; Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, Sealing and Kinjutsu. The Ninjutsu section was further sorted into the five elemental categories and non-elemental ninja arts. These sections were further sorted by the ranking of the jutsu, starting as low as D-rank and going all the way to S-rank techniques. The Genjutsu section was split into two sections, offensive and supportive, which were again sorted by rank. The Taijutsu section was sorted into offensive and defensive styles, with a branch section for kenjutsu styles. The Kinjutsu section however, was only sorted by ranking with the lowest rank being B-rank. However, unlike the other sections in the rest of the library, this one was sealed behind a wall of glass with a blood seal in the center. The section on Sealing was simply sorted into beginner, intermediate and advanced sections. "Well, what do you want to start with Yugito-chan?"

"Well I'd actually like to start learning more about seals, specifically the barrier aspects of them," said Yugito as she continued looking through the Fire Style part of the Ninjutsu section, and missed the million watt smile that appeared on her boyfriend's face. 'Yugito-chan wants to study sealing with me, this has got to be one of the greatest days ever!' screamed Naruto in his head while a chibi version of him was doing a victory dance. 'Yeah, now you two will have more time together and you can finally claim her as your mate,' came the demonic voice of Kurama as he sent a mental image of Naruto and Yugito doing some very indecent acts in the Namikaze library to his blonde container. Naruto had to clamp his nose closed to prevent being blasted back by the massive nosebleed that came with the image in his head. 'WE'RE ONLY THIRTEEN, YOU PERVERT FOX; WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT YET!' 'Yet…' said Kurama with a raised eyebrow, 'That's it back to the dark corner of my mind for you,' with that Naruto cut the connection with his tenant with the screams of terror from the great Kyuubi lingering in his head.

"Well, if you want to learn sealing Yugito-chan, then I'd be more than happy to teach you the basics," said Naruto only to receive a searing kiss courtesy of his very happy girlfriend. After Naruto managed to untangle himself from his still very excited girlfriend, he gave her his famous fox grin before taking out a scroll and unsealed the scroll that had the Uzumaki sealing basics in it, "Well then, let's begin."

With Darui and Karui- Same time

"Alright Karui, for now I'll be teaching you a new kenjutsu technique; this technique is unique because only people who have a natural affinity for lightning style jutsu can perform it. It's called, Kumo Style: Lightning Saw, to perform this technique you must channel your lightning chakra into you sword and form it into a serrated edge along the blade. Once you have the chakra formed you need to slash at whatever your target is while releasing the chakra in your blade so that it forms into a flying saw that is almost impossible to block. When you have the technique down, this should be the results," said Darui as he drew his cleaver sword and began channeling chakra into blade. If one looked close enough they could see the faint outline of saw-like teeth along the edge of the blade, with the occasional arc of lightning flashing between the teeth. Raising his sword, Darui swung it a one of the many target dummies in the training ground behind the Namikaze house. From the sword a spinning saw of pure chakra launched at the dummy and cut through it like butter before dissipating into the air. "This is a B-rank technique, and very difficult to master do to the incredible amounts of chakra control required to perform the technique. It will most likely take you the entire month to train this particular technique, but if Naruto's plan goes smoothly then you will have many more techniques to learn from the Hokage Library and if he agrees then Hayate himself."

"Alright sensei, I think I'll start training with that technique later on tonight. How about we work on another elemental jutsu for now?" asked Karui while she mentally went through the steps she could take to help learn the Lightning Saw faster.

"We'll save elemental jutsu for when the whole team is together, for now though we'll work on increasing your chakra control by having you walk on water while sticking the tips of senbon to your body with your chakra," said Darui as a sadistic smirk crossed his face, one that Karui recognized instantly. 'The only time sensei ever gets that smirk on his face is when he plans on putting any us through one of his hell run training sessions,' thought Karui as she took step back in fear of what her sensei had in mind for her training. 'I should have gone with Naruto and Yugito to the library,' was Karui's last thought before she began her hellish training in chakra control.

With Kakashi and Guy- Same time

"Are you sure we are going the right way my eternal rival?" asked Guy and the two jounin continued jumping from roof to roof.

"Positive Guy, Minato-sensei once took me to the library to put the information regarding the Chidori and Raikiri into it as A and S-rank assassination jutsu's respectively. I don't remember the exact location, but I do remember the general area it's in," said Kakashi as they stopped on a roof a few blocks away from the Hokage Tower. "We're close, there are two Anbu in the area, most likely guards to stop any intruders who manage to get this close." Looking over the area they were in he noticed a small warehouse a block from their position. 'Remember Kakashi, sometimes the most powerful secrets are hidden in plain sight.' The voice of his deceased sensei drifted through his mind as the memory of his time in the library surfaced.

Flashback

"Minato-sensei, I thought you said we were going to the Hokage library to add in my Chidori and Raikiri to the archives?" asked a young Kakashi. His sensei had told him that they needed to add in his two creations so that any future assassination specialist could have access to them for high profile missions. "This doesn't look like a place that would hide the village's greatest secrets."

Chuckling, Minato turned to his prized, and only remain student.

"Kakashi, don't you always say to look underneath the underneath? As shinobi we must not take anything at face value because nothing is ever as it seems. Remember Kakashi, sometimes the most powerful secrets are hidden in plain sight,' said the Fourth Hokage as he led his silver haired student into the small warehouse a few blocks from the Hokage Tower.

End Flashback

"Found it Guy," said Kakashi as said green spandex wearing shinobi moved over to look at the warehouse.

"Not exactly the place I would have chosen to hide the villages greatest secrets," he said as he continued to look at the building.

"Maybe, but it's like my sensei once said, sometimes the most powerful secrets are hidden in plain sight. Come on; let's get back to the compound, Naruto's going to want to start the second phase of his plan as soon as possible." Nodding in agreement, the two jounin took off, back to the Namikaze compound, both eager to see what else their little brother had planned for their former village.

Namikaze Compound- Later that Night

Team 20 sat across from Naruto's siblings in the living room of the Namikaze house, with one extra face present. Hayate Gekko sat in between his two former team mates, starring at Naruto with a pleading look in his eyes. Noticing the look in his new guest's eyes, Naruto decided to get things started.

"Hayate-san, my sisters say that you studied under my mother with them, and while I trust their judgment, I would like to confirm something's for myself," said Naruto as Hayate nodded in understanding, silently asking him to continue. "First off, if my mother was still alive and she had decided to leave the village for some reason, would you follow her, or would your loyalties stay with the village?" Hayate, to everyone but Anko and Kurenai's surprise, didn't hesitate in his response.

"Your mother, Naruto, was the closest thing I have ever had to a mother. Like you, I never had the chance to meet my parents, but when I was placed on Kushina-sensei's team I finally found the closest thing to a mother that I would ever know. She took me in, the same way Minato-sensei took in Kakashi, they were my family and my loyalties to my family have and always will be greater than that of my village." No one spoke for a while, all of them overwhelmed by the emotion in Hayate's voice as he spoke of his former sensei. Anko and Kurenai had each grabbed one of his hands in the middle of his story, they knew how much their former sensei meant to him so they did their best to try and comfort him. However the silence didn't last long as Hayate it seemed wasn't finished yet, "When I found out sensei was pregnant with you I was over joyed, but that was nothing compared to the joy I felt when sensei asked if I would like to be your big brother. But then the Kyuubi attacked, by the time I made it back to village from the mission I was on, Minato-sensei had already sealed the beast and when I asked the Third about it, he told me that Kushina-sensei had died in childbirth along with her son. After that I fell into a depression that soon became an illness, I felt as if I had no reason to live, I just went through the motions of life, not caring or paying attention to anything. When I learned who you were during the prelims, I couldn't believe it at first, it felt too good to be true, but after Anko and Kurenai said it was really you I was elated. I still had a chance to be the big brother I always wanted to be, and for that dream and in honor of my late sensei, I will follow you wherever you go, help to train you and your team in whatever I can. After what this village has done to you, they no longer deserve my loyalty; my loyalty now lies with you, my family."

Naruto stood up at the end of Hayate's speech and walked over to the sickly jounin, silent tears falling from his eyes. Kneeling before the swordsmen, Naruto enveloped him in a brotherly hug, the joy of finding a long lost sibling overwhelming the both of them. Anko and Kurenai could only smile at the scene, they had tried many times to convince Hayate that Naruto was indeed Kushina's son, but every time he would ignore them, saying that Kushina's son was dead. Too finally see the two together as it always should have been, was enough to bring tears of joy to the eyes of the 'Ice Queens.' Kakashi was smiling under his mask at the scene; he and Hayate had been the closest things the other had to a brother because of their senseis. For him, seeing the two brothers united like they should have been from the beginning was almost too much for the famous Copy Ninja. Guy had anime tears running down his face at the scene, he had been trying for years to bring Hayate out of his funk with his youthfulness only to fail. Now his little brother had finally done what he couldn't, in his mind a chibi Guy was going on and on about his little brothers flames of youth. Pulling away from the hug, Naruto smiled at Hayate before rejoining his team on the opposite couch.

"After that I don't think any of my other questions are necessary, so let's get you caught up with everything that's been going on," said Naruto before going into a brief, but detailed explanation of everything that had happened up to that point and what else they had planned for the coming month. At the end of the explanation, Hayate couldn't hide the evil smirk that crossed his face at the thought of what his little brother had planned for the Third Hokage. 'Payback's a bitch you lying bastard,' thought Hayate as he continued to listen to his brothers plans and what they would be focusing on training wise for the month long break.

"Alright, now that everyone's been brought up to speed, I think it's time to begin phase three of the plan," said Naruto as he made a shadow clone and with a nod disappeared in a shunshin. "Well my clone gets things moving again, how about we get a little ninjutsu training in?" with nods of agreement from everyone, they made their way out to the training field behind the house. 'Soon, soon the Raijin will be back where it truly belongs, in the hands of an Uzumaki,' thought Naruto as he watched Kakashi demonstrate a new wind technique he would be learning.

Hokage Tower- After clone left

Hiruzen Sarutobi set at his desk going through the endless paperwork that continued to appear. 'I swear, sometimes I wonder why I agreed to take this position,' he thought as he stamped yet another document with his official seal. He was interrupted from his work when he heard the sound of a throat being cleared. Slightly startled that he hadn't sensed the person's arrival, he looked up into the smiling face of his surrogate grandson.

"Ahhh, Naruto, what can I do for you my boy?" asked Sarutobi with a smile, though he was silently wondering how Naruto had achieved such advanced stealth abilities. 'To be able to sneak up on me is no easy feat.' Little did he know, Naruto the answer to his question, 'Old fool must really be going senile if he didn't sense my approach, that or he thinks he doesn't have to worry about anyone trying to attack him while he's in the village.'

"Actually, I have a request to make of you," said Naruto catching Sarutobi off guard slightly, "What do you know of the Raijin sword?"

"Well, it is a legendary blade that is said to have been forged from a lightning bolt with the ability to cut through anything and everything it comes in contact with. My former sensei, the Second actually wielded the blade in combat many times; however it was stolen from the village a few years back by a rogue ninja by the name of Aoi Rokusho," said Sarutobi, not caring if he was divulging village secrets to someone not even from his village. 'WHAT; these fools allowed some useless traitor to steal an Uzumaki treasure? I swear if it's the last thing I do, this village will pay for its crimes against my clan.'

"If it has been stolen, then I most ask that send out a team to retrieve the blade immediately. The Raijin is a key factor in whether or not my plan is successful, if I don't have it, then it could not only mean the failure of my plan, but also result in my death," said Naruto as he watched the Hokage's face go from confused to horror in mere seconds. 'Senile old man is playing right into my hands.'

"Don't worry Naruto, I promise that by the end of the week you will have the Raijin in your possession. For now, why don't you go train for the finals and if you run into any of your siblings please send them to me immediately, they will be leading the mission to retrieve the Raijin for you," said the aged kage as he signaled for his Anbu to go and find said jounin.

"Thanks old man, I'll try and contact you as soon as I can," said Naruto as he walked out of the room before dispelling with a smirk on his face and one final thought, 'Phase three has begun.'

Well there you have it! I hope you guys enjoyed it, and please keep the reviews coming, they are a major help when writing this story! Well until next time then.
