shadow-hunter104 ~ while i do try to make these longer, please remember a person can only remember so much from a dream, hence why these chapters are small but frequent, i always read the previous chapter before going to sleep, and hope i can dream the next chapter in my sleep.

thor94 ~ Kurama will be making an appearance over the next few chapters

Previously on Naruto: The Legacy Begins..

"however i do have one condition gramps" naruto said once again snapping the hokage out of his thoughts, "I want her to disappear like i have" naruto said firmly, the hokage could hear the firmness in his voice when he had said that, "so that's it, another one of you eh? self training, delaying the academy and doing missions while masked? i'll consider it, IF she accepts to living with you,and if she does, no-one except myself will know where she is living, do i make myself clear.."

"crystal old man… crystal,..."

Naruto had been recalling the meeting he had with the hokage a few days before, to when he had been informed about hinata hyuga and what had happened to her, something was bugging him though he couldn't understand why he so readily told the hokage to let her move in with him, i mean he had only met her once and spent maybe twenty-four hours together, "Meh" naruto said shrugging off the thought "it's too late to do anything about it now" he said quietly to himself as he stood outside of a door in the hospital.

"Come in please Fox" said a voice from inside the room as naruto turned and knocked and opened the door and stepped inside and closed it behind him, nodding to the hokage as the hokage raised his hand to seal the room, so no-one could see, hear nor enter the room until he dropped the seal..

"Now hinata, i take it you remember this boy" the hokage said pointing to naruto in the fox mask,

Hinata who was laying in the hospital bed looked up to see naruto, and tilted her head slightly trying to figure out if she knew him or not, "u..u..um i don't think so lord hokage" said hinata in a small voice.

"Well not that it matters, but you do know him, and because of the incident with you and your clan you will be living with him from now on," the hokage motioned to naruto "this boy has asked me personally to let you live with him, because you didn't have anywhere to go.."

Hinata's head shot towards the boy in shock, "Why would this stranger want a weakling like her to live with him, she did deserve live, i mean come on, the clan had kicked her out and didn't even bothering to brand her with the cage seal, because she was deemed not even worthy of the seal" these thoughts kept running through her head as a small tear crept down her face.

"W..w..why do you want me to live with you?" stuttered hinata as she struggled to say, naruto who had been looking at her for a few minutes sighed and lifted his hand up to the mask and slowly began to remove it, hinata's face was a picture when he removed his mask to display the blonde boy that had saved her from the bullies, the one she had spent so much time thinking about, was asking her to live with him, her face turned bright red the last thing she remembered was her vision going blurred.

"Hey hinata.. hey hinata… wakie wakie.." came from a voice in the darkness "hey gramps do you think i broke her?" said the voice again which followed by a rough gruff bellow of laughter from a voice different from the first "no naruto, she just passed out due to the shock i believe" "oh ok.. hinata… wakie wakie.. it's time to get up now" she felt her body being gently shaken, she slowly began to come round and slowly opened her eyes as light filled her sight as she tried to focus on what was in front of her..

"Well it's about time" smirked naruto as he helped hinata sit back up who was still beat red,

the hokage was cracking up inside but on the outside even he couldn't help but smirk at the event unfolding before his eyes "well now as you are awake hinata and before you pass out again i should let you know that later today i will be back with naruto here and we'll get you settled in to your new room at his place, is that acceptable?" asked the hokage..

Hinata hadn't heard most of what the hokage had said, a single word replayed in her mind "naruto….naruto….naruto…...his name is naruto….naruto….naruto," hinata had unconsciously nodded at the hokage, "ok thats good and settled then naruto why don't you head back to the house and clear up a bit" said the hokage a naruto nodded and put on his mask..

"Oh before we go hinata, i'm ordering this under S-Class secret, you are not to tell anyone where you are living or who you are living with, do you understand hinata?" said the hokage in a stern voice snapping hinata out of her thoughts to pay attention of the hokage..

"Why is living with this boy an S-Class secret" she thought, she mentally shook her head and nodded to the hokage, "y...y...yes lord hokage, i understand," with a nod from the hokage he raised his hand and lowered the sealing barrier that surrounded the room, as soon as the barrier fell, the door fell open with two doctors and a hyuga branch member trying to push the door open.

Both naruto and the hokage turned towards the pile of bodies that was now on the floor and shook their heads, naruto slowly began to put away his kunai, which didn't go unnoticed by the hokage "mhmmm… he's gotten quicker" he thought to himself before turning his attention to the bodies on the floor.

"What is the meaning of this.." demanded the hokage, as the three bodies untangled themselves, the two doctors and the hyuga branch member, "Our apologies lord hokage, i didn't know you was in this room, we had come to check on the patient when we couldn't open the door, we became increasingly worried, however when kio turned up to check on lady hinata and found we couldn't open the door… well you get the idea.."

"It's quite alright, i had put up a sealing barrier, so we may talk in secret that is all" said the hokage with a sigh of relief from kio, "Forgive me lord hokage, i just got worried for lady hinata that is all" the hokage lifted his hand "That's alright, just so you know, hinata will not be returning to the hyuga compound due the incidents that took place there, so i have arranged for her to stay someplace else where she will be safe."

Kio nodded, as long as lady hinata was safe that was all that mattered to him, he wasn't a fan of the main branch of the hyuga clan, however lady hinata was different she didn't hate the side branch she treated him all as equals, which earned her the respect of several branch members, "That is good, may i ask where she will be staying lord hokage"

"Unfortunately i cannot answer that question" the hokage began but was quickly cut off by kio interjection "WHAT! how come!" asked kio almost demanding "the location of where she will be staying is an S-Class secret, finding out it's location is punishable by death" stated the hokage.

The hokage's statement felt like a knife stabbing kio through the heart, but understood what it meant, she would be safe, and she was in safe hands.. That was all that really mattered..

"I understand lord hokage" said kio with a bow, "now if you may excuse me i am due back at the hyuga compound before anyone finds out that i left" with a nod from the hokage kio turned to exit the room before stopping at the exit "as long as lady hinata is safe that is all i care about" with that he exited the room and returned to the hyuga compound.

The hokage turned back to hinata, "right young lady, we shall be back in about an hour or so to collect you and help you move in, i trust that is ok?" he turned his attention to the doctors, who nodded "yes lord hokage, we shall see that all the necessary paperwork is done by then" with a nod both the hokage and naruto left the hospital room and split up, the hokage heading back to the dreaded paperwork and naruto headed home to do a light cleanup..

A week had passed since hinata moved in with naruto, to say it was a little awkward, naruto was learning in the mansions library while hinata was training outside in one of the training areas beating the fuck out of one of the practice logs, it was no secret to neither the hokage nor naruto that she was a little shy to say the least, but she did have to admit it was a nice place here, but meanwhile she also missed some of the hyuga clan members who used to sit and talk to her..

Naruto meanwhile was neck deep in scrolls and books researching and learning about something called fuinjutsu, according to one of the scrolls his mother left him, the uzumaki was considered gods in the world of fuinjutsu, and it seemed naruto was no different, while he had a mass of clones reading anything and everything in the mansions library about fuinjutsu, seals and how to craft them well basically anything and everything about it, the library had turned into a warzone for a lack of a better word.

Naruto sighed and straightened up and heard several pops from his back due to sitting hunched over the scrolls for too long and ran his hands over his face looking up at the ceiling of the library, he decided to take a break and to figuratively break the ice with hinata, with that he got up and headed out of the library, closing the door behind him..

Naruto looked around the house for hinata and found nothing, pausing for a second to try and think where she could of gone, he heard the faint pounding of one of the training logs, with a smile he now knew where she was and headed outside to the training grounds.

Hinata was coated in sweat, not bothering to have her byakugan activate as she was only punching a log, it didn't have any chakra nor any points to hit, she continued to punch the log for a few more minutes completely unaware she was being watched..

After five minutes or so of pounding the log, she came to a stop and breathed heavily but a sound startled her, it was the sound of clapping, she spun round in the direction of the clapping and found naruto standing there clapping at her, no-one had ever clapped at her before, so with a slight blush she bowed and thanked naruto.

"Come on hinata, i think it's time we both got a break," he said putting his arms up behind his head, hinata nodded shifting uncomfortably before she finally spoke "H...H...Hai," both youths headed indoors to the kitchen and naruto told hinata to sit down while he made two drinks and something quick to eat for both of them, hinata sat down after about a minute naruto came over with two drinks and headed back into the kitchen to get the two plates of sandwiches that he had made and gave one to hinata and sat down at the table and smiled at hinata before munching on his sandwich.

Hinata picked up a sandwich and slowly began to eat it, she hadn't gotten used to this matter of eating "using your hands," her father had always drilled into her that she should use the proper utensils when eating, when naruto had first given her a sandwich she tried eating it with a pair of chopsticks without much success, before naruto explained she had to use her hands, originally she was against it, but as she was hungry she soon came around to the idea.

The silence was uncomfortable to say the least, before naruto sighed, "so hinata, i thought it was time we discussed a few things, especially as you are living here and this is also your home now as well, it's only fair that you know what's going on."

Hinata stopped eating and looked at naruto with a slight blush, she couldn't help but blush every time she saw or spoke to him, but she was determined to stop blushing one of these days so she could have a proper conversation, so she may as well try now, "h...hai."

Naruto thought for a minute before how to proceed, there was a lot to cover, with him being the fourths son, to having the nine tails sealed inside him, the missions he does and not even in the academy yet.. "Meh… where to begin" he said "i guess a good of a place is at the beginning."

Over the space of the next few hours, hinata's jaw slowly dropped further and further before crashing through the floor, as naruto began to explain, why his parents didn't live with him in the huge place, why the villagers hated him, why where he was living was hidden with a blood seal and invisible so no-one could get in or even look in..

Naruto thought when he told her and he had the nine tails sealed inside him it was freak her out, but no she took it in her stride, now for the final kicker he told her who his parents was,

hinata's eyes widened, jaw firmly on the floor, she was more surprised that this boy was the son of the fourth then having the nine tails sealed inside him, i mean hinata was no idiot she knew the difference between a scroll and a kunai.

A few minutes had passed since naruto had finished speaking and was now looking at her nervously, while she was processing all the information that he had given her, there was a hell of a lot to take in that was for sure.

Hinata was in awe, this blonde boy in front of her, was already doing D-Rank missions, had the nine tails sealed inside him, the village hated him, but he would still defend and protect the village just like his father and wasn't even in the academy yet.

"N...n...naruto.. i think you're amazing" hinata said was a stutter, naruto who was worried about what hinata would say but it was all in vain, he looked up at her and gave her the biggest grin he could, this didn't go unnoticed by hinata, she blushed bright red with a thought that his smile he just gave could light up the heavens on the darkest night..

"Thank you hinata-chan, you're the best" he said jumping up over the table and hugging her, hinata was being bounced around, but her face went bright red when she finally realized that naruto was hugging her and called her "hinata-chan", fighting to stave off passing out, she stuttered "i...it's ok naruto.."

A few hours more had passed as they started to discuss what naruto could already do skillwise and what hinata could do, before formulating a training plan that they could both work on together, hinata was over the moon, not only was she going to get stronger like naruto but certain feelings kept popping up whenever she looked at him.

Darkness began to fall, as the two finally finished talking, "whoops i guess it took longer than i expected.." naruto said with a laugh, as the naruto went to take a shower and hinata had to fight the urges to use her bakugan in the direction of the shower when she heard running water, hinata shook herself before deciding she would make dinner tonight and headed off into the kitchen, it was hard to make dinner and trying to shake off the urge to peek at naruto in the shower..
