Beta: Inspector Me

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A week had passed since the incident involving Naruto and Menma and things had slowly started to get worse with the Namikaze family. Mito and Natsumi refused to talk to each other which led to a lot of failed D rank missions, Menma become even colder to everyone besides his family, Kushina and Minato were a whole different story.

After they collapsed in his office memories have started to resurface. From the days when their kids were young and how they gave their kids everything they wanted except Naruto. When they woke up they cried. Both hated themselves and it only worsened when Naruto decided to move out.

Flashback

"Let go of me." Naruto said harshly while his mother was hugging for dear life while he held a storage scroll in hand "No! I will not let my baby boy move out!" she yelled and Naruto gave a frustrated grunt and tried even harder to get away. But Kushina never gave up and tightness her grip and even used her chakra chains to hold him in place

"Sochi-kun you don't have to leave! We already apologized for what we do we can make it better!" she sobbed out and she was true. After the incident in the Hokage's Office she and her husband had a newfound strength to get him back in the family. "I said I don't care now let me go." he said again he saw the hurt cross against Kushina face but he ignored it.

"Just let him go Kaa-san," a voice said and they both turned their heads to see Natsumi walking up the stairs "It's better if he leaves." She said harshly and Kushina's eyes widened to epic proportions and she lost her concentration on her chains and let them fall. After Naruto got free he made his way out the door and didn't look back, he heard his mother calling out to him but didn't care and kept walking.

Flashback end

After that Kushina ran to the office to inform Minato on what happened. Minato was shocked to hear what his son did and he and Kushina spent the whole day putting together a plan to bring their son back.

Hokage Office

Minato was sitting anxiously at his office while his wife was fiddling with her hair nervously as their kids eyed them with concern. "What do you think is wrong with them? And why did they call us here?" Natsumi asked Menma shook his head signaling he had no idea and Mito didn't acknowledge her questions. A few agonizing seconds later a knock was heard at the door and Minato and Kushina tensed up. When the door opened Menma and Natsumi's eyes darkened while Mito gave a small smile in greeting.

Naruto walked in and immediately felt the glares from two of his siblings and noticed the small smile went his way by Mito. Feeling generous he gave a slight nod to her and her face brightened up and a content smile rested on her face. He looked towards his 'parents' and noticed they looked more on edge. He was still annoyed for being held back the day he was leaving by Kushina but he let that slide. The room was silent and no one made a sound. "Is there something you need Hokage-sama?" Naruto asked and he saw Minato physically flinch at the use of his title and he nodded "Hai, I called a family meeting today." he said and Naruto as did his siblings raise an eyebrow in confusion.

"Naruto-kun." Minato started "We want to apologize for what we did to you."

Instantly several things began to happen at once;

Menma and Natsumi looked at their father on shock and anger and his proclamation and Mito who was also shocked gave a small smile.

Naruto on the other hand faltered slightly and raised an eyebrow in confusion. He eyed his parents, a questioning look on his face, he felt his two siblings chakra spike in anger at this and kept his face blank of any emotion "What for Hokage-sama?" he asked and this time Kushina spoke

"We're sorry for not being good parents to you! "She yelled out, her calm facade braking.

"Oh bull shit!" Natsumi yelled catching her parents off guard "What do you mean bad parents? It's his fault for not letting us help him!" she yelled and her parents looked pissed "Watch your mouth Natsumi, it is our fault for that we did to our son." Kushina yelled and Mito turned and glared at her sister "I thought you didn't want to help him? Last time you said you couldn't have given two shits about him." she coldly said and Natsumi returned her glare full force "And I still don't give two shits." She said, at her proclamation her parent's eyes went wide as they heard what Natsumi said. Menma looked at his sister and gave out a chuckle, and it soon evolved into full-blown laughter. All people present turned to him and noticed a sinister smile on his face "See that loser? Even your own sister hates you!" he yelled in glee while his the Hokage and his wife looked at the situation in shock. Kushina was on the verge of tears while Minato tried to keep a calm face.

"Menma, Natsumi we will talk at home." he said and Natsumi looked a little nervous while Menma was smiling in glee. Kushina turned to her oldest son and noted he kept a calm face the whole time and never faltered once. She was slightly proud but also a little worried. And doubt started to creep up in her mind in their plan not working.

"Naruto-kun we called you here for a reason." Minato said getting his kids attention and continued "Me and your mother have decided to give back what's rightfully yours." he said making the kids raise an eyebrow, but Naruto had a pretty good guess on what that could be. Minato took a deep breath and continued "Naruto, as of now you are the new Clan head of the Namikaze clan," he said and the room fell silent.

"WHAT!"

Menma's face showed pure fury as he stared at his father in anger "You're giving that loser what should be mine!" he screamed at his father and Minato stood and looked at his son "That spot never belonged to you Menma" he said and Natsumi decide to cut in "Are you kidding me!? You're giving it to Naruto?! You can't just takes someone's birth right like that!" she yelled and Mito answered "If you get your head out of your ass you would realize that spot was Naruto's in the first place!" Mito commented snidely at Natsumi and she in return glared at her sister "I wasn't talking to you bitch." Kushina was now crying seeing her family fight

"SHUT UP!"

She yelled and all attention turned to her "How can we fight like this! We're a family." She sobbed and Minato put an arm around her and she cried. The kids looked at their sobbing mother and couldn't think of anything to say. Naruto stayed quiet throughout the whole argument, he was surprised that his parents were giving him more attention and even went as far to give back what they stole from him. Of course he already knew the answer he was going to give, to him it was obvious. But to the others it may come as a shock.

Menma on the other hand was seething in rage, he deserved that title he was stronger than his weak brother how couldn't his parents see that! He looked at his brother's calm blue eyes and it only enraged him more, he charged forward kunai in hand

And he was aimed to kill.

Naruto sensed his brother coming and he pulled out a kunai and blocked his brother's attack. The room went quiet as all occupants looked shocked at what transpired. "M-Menma." Kushina whispered shocked at what her son did. Minato flashed behind the two and pulled them apart. He noticed the calm look on Naruto and the look of rage on Menma "Menma what the hell are you doing." Minato said through clenched teeth as he eyes his two sons and Menma scowled and glared at his brother "Nothing Tou-san." he growled out and he stormed out of the room.

"Menma." Menma stopped walking as he turned his head back and saw his brother staring at him bored "I'm not taking the clan head spot." he said and his family went wide eyed. Minato then spoke up "Why aren't you taking the spot?' he asked dumbfounded and Naruto answered "I appreciate what you two are doing, but you're too late." he said and they looked at him in confusion when Minato's eyes widened in horror

"T-too late?" Kushina asked in fear and he nodded and he turned around and walked right past Menma and out the door, but not before saying a few parting words "When a person is left behind, they either try to get return to what they were before, or leave and start a new path for themselves. I decided to leave." he said and he took another step out the door and turned around to show his uncaring eyes "The love I held for all of you, died years ago"

He walked until his footsteps couldn't be heard anymore.

Silence filled the office as they heard what their son/brother said and there were different reactions. Kushina was now full on sobbing and Minato had tears falling freely from his eyes. Mito looked broken and she went over to her mother and they shared a hug. Natsumi looked at her parents crying faces and scowled "That baka is even causing pain when he isn't here!" she screamed in her mind and she felt something wet falling down her face. She put her hand on her cheek and her eyes went from anger to shock "I'm...crying? Why?"

Menma at this point was shaking in rage, his parents tried to backstab him in taking away what was his, his sister Mito was against his belief in Naruto. His parents tried to bring their weak brother back into the family. Natsumi was the only one who understood him. He whipped his head to her and noticed she was crying. Was she rethinking her beliefs? After all this family has gave to him what does he say?! Menma froze as he reached his brother words

"I don't care."

"The love I held for all of you, died years ago."

"It's to late."

"Menma-kun it seems...the family doesn't understand you." the voice came back and Menma nodded slowly as the words processed in his head

"They don't understand me…" Menma walked out the door, and no one stopped him.

With Naruto

Naruto walked up to his apartment, put the key on and walked in. He didn't feel like training today and apparently neither did Satoru, and Izumi. They both were on the couch watching TV and eating some of Naruto's cup ramen.

His eye gained a tick mark and he slammed the door startling his friends. There emotions seemed to go from shock to horror. Naruto stalked over to them slowly making them even more terrified "L-look Naruto it's not what it looks like." Satoru stuttered out, but Naruto didn't acknowledge them as he raised his two fists and bonked them on the head.

"What have I said about eating my cups of ramen?" he asked and his two friends rubbed their heads "Do not ever eat the cup of ramen." they said in union and Naruto nodded "Good." he said and he picked up the now empty ramen cups and sighed. He was really excited to have this ramen after today. His team noticed his down face and they asked about it. Naruto sat on the couch and sighed

"Well it started like this…"

With Maria

Maria was on edge today. The Hokage said he was going to call her early in the morning and it was now 2pm! She's been waiting since 7am this morning and she was very upset. She was thinking if they just forgot about her. She doubted it since she was an Uchiha after all. "Okay fuck this." She said and she got up from her seat and headed out the door. If she couldn't see the Hokage doesn't mean she can't see her little brother. She walked around the streets of Konoha trying to find the Uchiha complex. She didn't want to admit it, call it Uchiha pride, but she was lost. She sighed and just continued walking. She heard a certain squeal and she looked to her right and saw a familiar pink haired girl. She followed her eyesight until age saw...Sasuke! She saw him in a store getting groceries and she gave a small smile. She totally walked past the pink haired girl and right to Sasuke. She saw Sasuke turn around bags in hand. "Hello Sasuke do you need help with your bags?" she said politely and Sasuke looked at her and he was only carrying two bags. But he was interested in talking to her so he humphed and handed her one bag and they walked to the compound while Maria was smiling internally. Sakura saw the mystery girl from wave follow Sasuke home and she frowned and went to follow them.

Not stalker-ish at all.

Once they entered Sasuke home he noticed the girl had an almost nostalgic look on her face. He raised an eyebrow in confusion and picked it into the back of his mind. They put all groceries away and sat at the table in silence. "Sasuke there's a reason why I came to talk to you." She said and Sasuke waited for her to speak. Maria suddenly felt very nervous and she played with a strand of her long hair. Sasuke sighed he had gotten a lot of girls come to his place and offer a love confession and he was tired of it. "I'm not interested." he said and Maria snapped her head up in surprise "W-what?" she said and Sasuke stood up and walked to the door "I don't wanna hear another love confession." he said and Maria went silent

"It's not a love confession!" she yelled and stood up abruptly and Sasuke raised another eyebrow. Maria looked at her brother and gave a sad sigh "Sasuke what would you say of you found out you have a older sister?" she said and Sasuke's eyes darkened and he glared at the girl. "That I don't believe you." he said bluntly and she sighed. Maria closed her eyes and opened them showing her one tomoe sharingan and Sasuke stood frozen "I'm Maria Uchiha and I'm the twin sister of Itachi Uchiha." She said and Sasuke stood frozen. His mind running a mile a minute he looked at his so called sisters face and be now realized why she felt so familiar. She looked like his mother, and that would mean, this was his real sister. So Sasuke did the only thing he could think of at the moment.

He hugged her.

She hugged back quickly and she heard a sniffle fine from Sasuke and she herself was crying, "I'm sorry I couldn't be there Sasuke-kun." She said and ran her hands through her little brothers hair while Sasuke leaned into her touch. Sasuke would never admit it, but he's missed this; the feeling of being safe, and of course having a family member. For the first time since the massacre he forgot all about his revenge on Itachi, he forgot all about the emotional facade he created; now he smiled a true smile as he hugged his sister. After the tender moment they pulled apart and Maria spoke "Sasuke." She said lifting her sleeve from her shirt up revealing a small Uchiha symbol, she bit her thumb and wiped the blood on the mark and a scroll popped out. She handed the scroll to Sasuke and he opened it

"I want to make sure you know the truth of the Uchiha massacre."

With Menma

Menma was at training ground 99 when he collapsed on the ground. He'd been training since he left his father's office and he felt like shit, he heard a noise in the bushes near him and he picked up a kunai and threw it at the bush. He waited until he heard the sound but he heard nothing. Noticing a man walk out from the bush holding the kunai he had just thrown. "Your accuracy could be better," the man said and Menma narrowed his eyes. He eyes the up and down. The man was walking with a cane with bandages going up from his arm and covering his left eye and side of his face. And he had a scar on his chin in the shape of an X.

The man walked closer and Menma tensed up and got ready for a fight. The man noticed this and spoke "Don't worry I am no threat, My name is Danzo Shimura and I am one of the village elders." he said and Menma relaxed slightly but was still in position to pounce. Danzo pulled out a scroll and threw it at Menma's feet. Menma eyed it with interest and picked it up slowly and opened it. The scroll hit the ground with a thud as Menma was enraged. His eyes showed the same black they did last time he had an incident. "Naruto has a bloodline!" he screamed and Danzo nodded "It seems like that doesn't it. I have a proposition for you." Danzo said and Menma averted his form the scroll to the man "I could train you, make you become stronger," he said and Menma perked up at this. He weighed the pros and cons of the situation "Take the deal Menma-kun." the feminine voice said and Menma looked at the man and nodded "I'll train under you." he said and Danzo smirked while inside he was smiling with glee. "I'll have some rules you need to follow" he said and Menma nodded "You have to address me as Danzo-sama, and never question my authority or be severely punished, and show the proper respect. Is that clear!" he said and Menma sat up straight "Hai Danzo-sama." he said and Danzo smirked

"Good now follow me."

Menma nodded and followed all the while hearing the voice in the back of his head.

"Very good Menma-kun~~"
