AN. well here is the next chapter don't got a lot to say this time. I may have a better AN. At the bottom just depends really.
Also to Alexjd: since you did not have a way for me to send a Pm im just going to put this here. I was going to have one more instance of failed rape. It will not be a successful one but will help pave the road for another girl to be added into the story. I do not do this just because I can or because I like the idea or anything I do this because it is the only way I can figure to add in a certain person. It may or may not happen though as I am still thinking of ways to do it. Basically I wanted Naruto to be the guy that would willingly put his life on the line to save someone from experiencing his pain and knowing the hurt. I hope this clears up some things as I do understand what you meant in your review. The only reason why I even had Fu that way was because of that experience, and the next (and last) is going to be a failed attempt. Thank you, also read bottom AN. Since it is a more up to date one and has another story you all might be interested in, I read it and am currently helping on adding a few things here and there to help out a friend but it is still a good story.
Well here we go.
The group looked on as they stared out into the half build village. Naruto himself could only fall to his knees as he stared. Yes this side of the family had been adopted, but if his mother's notes were anything to go by, they were more than that.
(Flashback, reading letters from parents)
Young Naruto sat there as he continued to read more and more of his mother's and father's notes. Finally he came to a book that was stuffed into one of the scrolls labeled 'Family', he had been reading the book for a little while now but nothing more came to attention other than her family in Makie. Finally though he turned the page and found it labeled Uzumaki. As he read though his eyes went wide.
(to lazy to form an actual date of when it was wrote, also basically this is like a diary)
Dear Diary,
I know that this sounds strange, but ever since I came to this land called whirlpool, I have steadily grown fond of it. In most part to the Uzumaki Clan, who have chosen to adopt me into there family. I have been here for three years now since the incident and know that this Uzumaki Clan is almost as much of a family to me as the fox's are. I have a plan to make me at least half an Uzumaki. The old blood fusion seal my great grandmother made when she came to this plane of existence. Although it is looked down upon to fuse a demons blood and a mortals blood, I am confident that I am making the right choice. These people are everything to me and if I can become even more like them than I will be that much more happy to hold my headband. I shall do the ritual and have my nee-san help me so that we can finally become sisters. I just hope all goes well.
As Naruto read this he was instantly confused. It was never even heard of for a demon to fuse there blood with a mortals, if what Kyu-Chan said was anything to go by. But here his mother was doing everything she could to show her new love for her new family. Naruto flipped the page and started to read on as he got even more curious as to what the seal did.
Dear Diary,
My Nee-san and I have completed the ritual and I am now a Uzumaki by blood. I could not be happier, even if Kami-Sama herself came down and ordered me to be. My new blood family was told my story last night and I was shocked to say the least. All of them excepted me, other than Ryoku of course. I honestly don't get it Ryoku is a nice man to everyone else but it seems like for some reason he always has to argue with me. I tried to be nice to him and all it did was get him to push me away. Well any way I have to go we are celebrating my induction as a full Uzumaki tonight and I have to go prepare properly for it. I just wanted today to be written down for the future that way I will never forget that I may be a demon on the inside but now I am also an Uzumaki.
(end flashback)
As Naruto sat there looking down at the half destroyed village he could not help but use his Kuroi and look at the people. As he looked he saw that most of the people down there not only had the traditional red hair but also had the amazing chakra capacity that the Uzumaki were so well known for. This in its self was a shock to his system, as he had always thought that no other Uzumaki had made it out of the village other than his mother.
"Naruto-Kun, what is going on?" asked Ino as everyone just eyed the young red head.
All the boy could do was shake his head that he had no clue since he didn't and continue to stare at the half rebuilt village.
"Well were not going to get answers standing here. Come on lets go down there." ordered Asuma as they all began to descend the hill that they were standing on. Naruto just went to auto pilot as he walked down with the others still to shocked to form words.
Next thing that he knew though, they were in front of the new whirlpool village sign. As he looked up out of his shock he saw thirteen ninja with a spiral on there head bands before them all with swords drawn. Most did not look like they could be much older than himself but the look in there eyes and the way they held themselves showed that they were at least skilled, with there chosen weapons.
"State your name and business for being here!" ordered an older looking male, maybe a little older than Asuma.
Asuma stepped forward and gave a small bow as Naruto just kept silent and hid in the back for now, not really wanting to get his hopes up just to find out these people were frauds.
"My name is Asuma Sarutobi, a Jonin from the village hidden in the Leaves. This is Fu Shibiki a ninja from Taki who is traveling to Konoha with us after this pit stop we made. These are my students, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, and Ino Yamanaka. As well as Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburama, and Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto." stated the smoking Jonin as he tried to understand what exactly was going on with the, formerly abandoned, village.
At the stating of Naruto's second last name the man could not help but let shock show on his face.
"Namikaze-Uzumaki? How is that possible all the Uzumaki were either killed by the toxin years or were in the mountains hiding till the time came for the village to be reborn. Do not insult this already injured clan boy!" yelled the out raged man as he glared at the boy who was proclaimed to be an Uzumaki.
"Sir please, before you jump to any rash decisions, would you be so kind as to tell us who you are?" asked the red headed male as he stepped forward in a non threatening manner.
The man for the most part did good in continuing to act tough but Naruto could tell that he himself was trying to stop himself from hoping that maybe a few more Uzumaki had survived the genocide that was the toxins. With only a moment of hesitation the man spoke though.
"My name is Ryoku Uzumaki, third cousin of the last Uzukage, and current Uzukage of the Village Hidden in the Whirlpools. Now who exactly are you?" stated the man with more pride in his voice than anything else.
"Well than cousin my name is like Asuma-Sensei stated, Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki. My father was the Yondaime Hokage of the hidden Leaf Village, Minato Namikaze. My mother was from the old Whirlpool village. She was able to escape before the toxins fully killed her but sadly the toxins did take its tole on her and she died giving birth to me. Her name was The Red Death of Konoha, Kushina Uzumaki." stated the boy as he unsealed the documents in his mother's ring, which was still around his neck only being taken off when he absolutely had to remove it.
Ryoku was standing there with his mouth wide open to stunned to speak. All he could do was look at the birth certificate and stare at the name of his past superior.
"From the look on your face I can only guess that you are the Ryoku that my Kaa-San talked about in her diary. It didn't mention much but it did mention you by name. Now may we end this and continue into the village Uzukage-Dono?" asked the red head as he stood there waiting for an answer.
"K-Kushi-Chan...a-are you r-really Kushi-Chan's sochi?" asked the man to which Naruto nodded, understanding that this was a lot to take in at once. Then all of a sudden the man before them came out of his stupor and nodded his head, "Yes let us talk in the Kage tower. Although any and all weapons, not held by our own ninja, cannot be permitted into the village. If you know of our existence than it is also likely other villages have as well. So with that being the case we cannot allow any more of a threat than what is already here. Please remove all weapons and place them into a sealing scroll. We shall place a seal on the scroll that will not allow you to summon anything from said scroll while in these walls."
"Sorry to interrupt cousin, but that will be pointless. Although I am no Seals master I am quite good with them and can already tell you I know how to easily break those kinds of seals. Not to mention that the sword I have in my left arm seal is my mothers and I will be damned if I seal it where anyone who want it can steal it. Please you have my word that I will not harm this village, I would rather die, but I will not relinquish my mother's sword to anyone." Naruto stated with an air of certainty around him. Most of the ninja behind the Kage shivered at the power radiating off of the boy as he spoke but none lowered there swords.
"Hmm...Naruto-San do you know of the seals that are on your mother's sword?" a nod latter made the man continue "Well than you know that anyone who tries to wield that blade other than your mother and her kin will not be able to even lift it. Please show it to me." stated the man.
Naruto instantly understood where this was going as it was quite obvious. If Naruto could not hold the blade than there would be no way that what he had stated was true. Not to mention that if this man knew all the seals on the blade than he would easily be able to tell if it was a fake or not. So without even one bit of hesitation Naruto held his left arm out to towards the space that held no enemy ninja and summoned his mothers blood red sword.
Ryoku stood there as he once more in his life laid his eyes on the famous blade. No one not even he could hold that blade so to see a child, no more than 14, wield it like it was nothing was slightly staggering. Without a thought Naruto lowered the sword to the ground and slid it to the man who knew what he was doing. If a Kage of his caliber could not lift the blade than there would be no doubt that it was Kushina's.
As the elder man bent he grasped the handle of the red blade and lifted. Then he tried it with a little more strength. And then with every ounce of strength he could muster. Still it lied there on the ground unmoving. With one last grunt of effort the Kage dropped to the ground on his ass.
"Well there is no doubt in my mind that is definitely Kushi-Chan's sword." stated the man as he rose and saw Naruto just walk up to the blade and throw it into the air. As it fell it landed right on the seal he had placed on his left arm and automatically sealed itself.
"Now do you understand? I am not going to harm my ancestral birth place. I only came here to hopefully find anything among the ruins that would help me revive the clan back in Konoha. Please do not make this family reunion be ruined because I killed your ninja for trying to take my mothers sword. I will take full responsibility for any and all actions that any member of my team or Team 10 do while in the village." stated the boy as he bowed to the elderly Kage.
That was all fine and dandy until one ninja in a boar's Anbu mask snorted. "You kill us?i highly doubt that. We are the best of this village. We are the HYDRA, guardians of the current Uzukage, there is no way a mere child cou-"
The man was instantly cut off when he felt the cold feeling of a blade against his throat. Without turning around he chanced a glance at the sword and saw that it was the same sword that the man's kage had just failed to pick up moments before. As he looked back at the 'Naruto' in front of him, that was until it vanished as if it was never there.
'That fast...to have an after image show up behind him...who is this kid?' thought most of the Whirlpool village ninja as they all just stood there shocked that this kid had bested one of there Hydra captains.
"Now what was that comment about this child not being able to do what exactly?" asked the boy behind the ninja with a smirk. The other Konoha ninja were all smiling knowing that even though it looked like Naruto was going to kill the man for his little comment, he was actually just proving a point and playing one of his pranks on the ninja.
"W-what are you?" asked the HYDRA captain with a stutter as he thought the worst.
"What? Little old me? Oh I'm just a lowly Genin from the hidden leaf village. Nothing a big and powerful Anbu captain, such as yourself, should worry yourself with." stated the boy with a sickening voice as he released the blade from the man's throat and appeared back with the rest of his group.
"Naruto-Kun don't play with the ninja didn't I teach you anything? If you are going to threaten to kill someone than you better do it." reprimanded a certain red headed demon who came up to Naruto with a sweet little pout on her face.
"Sorry Kyu-Chan couldn't help but have a little fun to take some of the tension out of the air." stated the boy as he half hugged his lover as he just smirked playfully. With a smack to the ass and an eep later everyone was entering the half destroyed village. Not one of the Konoha ninja were asked to relinquish there weapons since it would be pointless with Naruto there with any other unknown weapons in a seal on him.
As they headed towards a half rebuilt tower Naruto finally could not take it anymore as he made a cross with his fingers, as Kyu did the same, and summoned around a thousand clones each. The ninja around them shook at the thought of the possibility of them being under attack of all the clones that were made. This was put to rest though as Naruto and Kyu turned to their clones and spoke.
"Go and help out as much as you can with rebuilding this place. I want 200 of you guys to go and work at each area of the village and the last 200 to go and work from the center outwards now go!" yelled the two demons as there clones just nodded and ran off.
"You know, not that I am complaining about the help, but my men who are working on rebuilding this place will probably not allow them to help with the projects until I tell them to." stated the aged man as he gave a small chuckle at the thought of such a ninja being able to make so many clones.
"Well than maybe we need to make sure they know it is OK." stated Naruto.
"I am guessing you have a plan for doing such a thing quickly?" asked the aged old man as everyone stopped and stared at the red headed male.
"As a matter of fact, I do. Please allow me to demonstrate." stated the boy as he went through a few hand signs, "Demonic Fox Style: Roar of the Kitsune!" yelled the boy as he used a demon jutsu that Kyuubi had taught him back during his second year in the academy.
"People of Whirlpool, as you may have noticed multiple shadow clones of a red haired boy and girl are at this moment running through the village. They are here to help rebuild this once great village and for proof here is your Uzukage." stated the boy, his voice being amplified to be heard all through the village. Naruto than placed his fingers on the Kage's neck lightly and spoke, without the amplification to his voice. "Your people will now be able to hear you as long as I have these two fingers on your throat. Please hurry though as this takes quite a bit of chakra."
With a nod the aged man spoke, now with an amplified voice as well, "My people, it is as this man stated. Those clones are here to help us and I trust him like I would anyone here. Also in the mid afternoon there will be an assembly at the Uzukage Tower. Every man, woman, and child that can make it is ordered to as I have a very important announcement. That is all thank you."
With that done Naruto removed his fingers from the man's throat and canceled the jutsu with a slight hitch in his breathing. He may be a demon, with quite a bit of chakra, but that jutsu was an A-Rank demon jutsu, depending on the range you needed your voice to travel. If he only needed to get in front of people and use it that wouldn't be a problem but this time he had to make all of Whirlpool hear him.
As the group continued on they finally reached the Kage tower. It, for the most part, was intact. The building looked like the Hokage tower in the Leaf Village except instead of red, it was blue, and instead of the Kanji for FIRE in the center it had the Kanji for WATER.
The group went inside and headed up two flights of stares before finally reaching the old man's office. Once inside the group was once again reminded of the Hokage office in Leaf. Besides for the walls being painted blue it was almost an exact replica. A wooden desk with piles of paperwork stacked on it. Shelves almost completely surrounded the room, as they were stacked full of scrolls and other types of reading material. On the one wall behind the desk that did not have multiple shelves for the literature were five pictures each one withered and looked to be half destroyed.
"Welcome to my office Konoha Ninja, now with that out of the way why don't we start with why you are really here. You all said that you had no idea that the village was being rebuilt so what, pray tell, are you all here for? Especially with an Uzumaki from the main family." asked the aged man as he sat in his rather large chair. And intertwined his fingers as he rested his chin upon them.
Naruto, being the one he mainly addressed stepped forward with a polite bow as he spoke, "Well UzuKage-Dono, we are here so that I, being the 'last Uzumaki' as I was believed to be, could gain my family inheritance. The Hokage told me and my team, along with team 10, to come here and find anything that was still salvageable to return it to Konoha so that the new Uzumaki clan could have at least some form of there old self to know about. Had we known that this was being done to my families old home we would have come even sooner." stated the boy as everyone stood at attention in front of a Kage and nodded to show that what the boy said was true.
"Sarutobi? We sent him a message not a month ago to have people come to help us rebuild the village, as the treaty that we signed with Konoha stated back when Whirlpool was whole. At first I thought that maybe you all were it but when I saw your shocked facial expressions when entering the village I knew that you could not be, let alone that I was never informed that Konoha had an Uzumaki in there ranks so I thought you all somehow figured out some way to getting through the whirlpools. That is why there was such a 'warm' welcome waiting for you." stated the man to the shock of all the ninja there.
"No offense meant Uzukage-Dono but my father would not keep something like that from Naruto-San here. He is like a grandson to him, and as such would have told him that he actually had family in another village and we probably would have been sent here sooner." stated Asuma with conviction since he knew his father would never lie to an orphan about having family.
"Well than I have no idea how you all were not informed, I know the letter was sent and received because it was my own personal Hawk that sent the message. The same hawk that is sitting up in our keep up above the tower. There was no damage done to him so that only makes me believe that much more that the message was delivered." stated the man with a confused look.
"I know what happened." stated the red headed male of the group as everyone looked at him. That was when they saw the most demonic scowl on his face that many wished they never saw on his face again. "Uzukage-Sama I am sorry that your message was intercepted but you Hawk would never have known that it never reached its destination because the person who took it could have been a person to receive it." stated the boy as the boys body began to literally glow from the anger he was releasing.
"Naruto-San what are you talking about?" asked the man as he got over his shock of seeing visiable chakra that was radiating off the boy by the barrel full.
"Oh that is simple, but I wont say anything until it is confirmed. Something I plan on doing right now! Sir with your permission I request to place a Hirashin seal of my father's which will alow me and both teams, maybe minus Fu, to return here when we are done ad I may be able to bring someone who will help twice as much as my clones. Konoha is allied with you and if anyone thinks otherwise they will not be doing so for very long. It will take about half the day for us to return but when we do I promise that you will have the full backing of Konoha behind your village." stated the red head as he started to growl out the words.
Everyone saw his conviction in his eyes that many had never saw before, but none the less the idea of having even more help than what the red heads had already given him was to much of an offer that Ryoku was willing to give up.
"Alright but please place the marker outside the building that way no one gets a heart attack from you all coming into my office suddenly OK?" asked the man as Naruto nodded and made a clone to do just that.
"Everyone grab onto me...NOW!" ordered the red head as everyone rushed to do as they were even ordered since none of them had ever seen the boy so angry and did not want to be on his bad side right now. "See you soon cousin." was the last statement before everyone flashed away in a shining light of blood red.
"...Whoever it is that has pissed that boy off so much...there dead." was all the Uzukage could say as he experienced the raw power that the fabled Hirashin possessed.
(Konoha, Hokage's Office)
Sarutobi sat at his desk waiting for his favorite blond grandson figure to return, the village was far to quiet without him. His three shadow clones sat at smaller desks designated for important, mild, and stupid paperwork. As he was enjoying the literature that his old student had written there was a flash of blood red and an overwhelming amount of KI appearing in his room.
"JIJI WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY!" yelled Naruto as they appeared in the old man's office and everyone but Kyu collapsed from the sheer KI coming off the boy.
"N-n-naruto-Ku-n w-w-what are y-you doing b-back so so-on?" gasped out the Kage as he forced air into his aged lungs, Asuma already passed out from lack of oxygen and from his half dead lungs. The others just laying on the ground gasping. That was when Kyu decided to interfere with a hand to the boy's shoulder.
"Naruto-Kun please calm down we'll get them together. But these people in this office did nothing to deserve dieing because you were this angry." stated the girl as Naruto looked at the others and lowered the KI he was releasing from himself.
"Sorry everyone...now where are they?" asked the boy once more in a more controlled tone.
"Where are who my boy? What is going on, why are you all not in Whirlpool like you wanted to?" asked the aged Kage as he just looked at his adoptive grandson.
"Jiji call a council meeting for 5 minutes from now, and tell them if they are not there than they wil be loosing something they dearly want. Although if what I believed happened actually did than they will loose it anyway." ordered the boy with a look that told the old man 'follow my order or die!' and did as he was 'requested'.
"Naruto-" started the old man as everyone finally started to get back up from the ground.
"No Jiji it is going to be a surprise and if any of you tell him what we 'found' in Whirlpool than I will never speak to you again." stated the red head in such a manor that everyone instantly sealed there mouths.
"Hakage-Sama," started an Anbu before he entered the office a few awkwardly silent minutes later. "The council is ready for you. Although some are not very pleased with having to come on such short notice." stated the cat masked Anbu agent. "Oh hi Naruto-Kun, how was your trip?" continued the woman with a smile as she noticed him.
"Good, it will be even better after this meeting though, Yugao-Chan" stated the boy as he looked towards the Kage in the room, "You all go ahead I need to go and gather a few things for this meeting." as he flashed away.
"Well ladies and gentleman you heard him lets go and find out what this is all about." stated the old man as everyone in the room headed for the council chambers. Once there all the councilors started to yell and complain about how it was an outrage to be called and threatened to come here so suddenly.
"Councilors please calm down. I was not the one to call this meeting, the Uzumaki-Namikaze clan head was. He had to go and gather a few things at his home before he himself came to discuss something with you all. I am not able to tell you what this something is since I do not know and the others here know but were told specifically not to say anything until Naruto arrived." stated the old man as everyone took there seats.
"Sarutobi, please, this is utter nonsense what would Uzumaki-Namikaze-San need with the council?" asked one of the old man's advisers.
"I guess the power of hearing is the first thing to go with age since I just said I did not know." stated the man to the annoyance of the councilor.
"Well then, you, Asuma-San what is it that is needed to be discussed at the moment? You as a ninja cannot deny an order of the council, and were with him for more than a week now correct?" stated one of the civilians from his seat at Asuma who had woken up prior to entering.
"Well, since you are correct, I cannot deny the council. But I can choose to word my words in a way that both answers you question and keeps my opinion to myself. That on the other hand you cannot make me tell you. All I will say is that some one possibly in this very room, is going to be in so much pain when we are done here that the Haruno incident will look like child's play." stated the man with an evil smirk. Unlike his other students, other than Shikamaru, he had figured out who would have the reason and the means to take and conceal the letter from Naruto and his old man.
"What do you mean you have not answered my question in any way shape or form." yelled the councilor.
"I was getting to that, all that is left to say is that while on our second mission Naruto found some...interesting items at the destination and probably wants to share his findings with you. I mean it is not every day you go to whirlpool village and find what we found." started the man as he smirked as a council member's eyes grew in fear.
'So it was him, well that makes the target. Now all we need is the pro...hahahaha' laughed the man in his head as he realized something very funny that happened just a few minutes ago.
"Well then we order you to-" started the councilman who grew even more fear in his mind when Asuma looked straight at him.
"You, dear civilian, have already overstepped your boundaries by ordering a SHINOBI of this village to divulge SHINOBI activity that is unneeded or that is going to be already explained to you later. Not to mention that you have also insulted my clan since you are ordering him to divulge information that I have specifically told them not to divulge. Now shall we add to the things that are making me quite pissed today?" yelled Naruto as he kicked open the doors and walked in.
Naruto strode into the chambers with his usual garb on of black clothes and black and red cloak. Though now he also sported three rather large scrolls. One marked Namikaze, Uzumaki, and Jutsu each.
"Sorry Naruto-San, I meant no disrespect I just was curious as to what you had called this meeting for. And thought that maybe by asking we could have the meeting started to some point when you got here." stated the man as he tried to look good in front of the boy he was constantly trying to marry into the family.
"...That was moving...don't let my look of 'your an idiot' betray me, I am deeply moved that you would try to fake being nice just so your daughter can get closer to me. Please I may have the body of a child but I am far from being one. I have seen through all of the civilians attempts to 'prove they were only mean because they were mislead'. Trust me I'm no idiot. But moving on, ladies and gentleman-" stated Naruto before he was int interrupted by one of his soon-to-be father in-laws.
"Naruto-San, forgive the intrusion but what happened to your hair? I know I am not as young as I used to be, but I know my memory is not that bad. I remember you used to have your father's hair, but now you have your mother's." asked Inoichi as he sat there with a confused look on his face as the others finally let it dawn on themselves that his hair had indeed changed.
"Well, I guess I do need to make a mission report on the first mission I went on. The mission was to go and retrieve the woman named Fu from Taki so that the village could gain another alliance and that I would be able to gain one more wife because of that damn CRA you all put me under. We arrived after three days of travel and had little to no problem gaining entry to the village. When we got there I went to see Fu and found that, like all Jinchuriki, she was mistreated, almost to the exact extent as I was if not worse."
"Worse? How could it be worse than what...Banshee did?" asked the same man as he was shocked to see a woman be treated possibly worse than what his future son-in-law had been.
"That is quite simple really, that Banshee bitch only got me once..." stated the boy to the shock of all and the embarrassment of Fu, "Sorry Fu-Chan but trust me you will be safe after today. Anyway I found the beasts responsible and...took care of the situation in a way that would make even the damn Banshee wish for my old treatment."
this alone made some of the villagers quake in fear at what the boy was implying. But the story did not stop there.
"Well upon further inspection there was one more person who, though not directly involved, instigated the dead. You see unlike the Uzumaki and our clan, Taki is not known for there seal masters and as such they only had one who was above normal level with seals. So when I inspected the seals placed around the area in which Fu stayed I found a seal that not only took away the soul of the people that interred its borders but sealed it into a pocket dimension and made it where it was all but impossible to get back. Although it is not unheard of, it does take some effort to make a seal like it. I for one would be hard pressed to make one and so for him to do it shows that he at least had half a brain when it came to seals.
Anyway, I confronted the man in the most anger I have ever had, even with the Haruno, and fought him. During this fight he used Taki's Hero Water and forced me to unlock the adult stage of my Demonic form." stated the boy as he dropped his henge and accessed his full demon form. To say the villagers were scared would be to say that the Akimichi were big boned. Most had to force themselves to not shit there pants at the sight before them.
"This form really doesn't allow much, other than the usual strength, speed, and chakra increase. But it does turn my hair, or in this case fur, a darker color, and sadly it is a permanent change so my henge can change it but it is not a necessity so I chose not to." finished the boy as he reapplied his henge.
"Ok, that explains that but that does not explain why we are all sitting here." stated the civilian from before.
"No, no it does not. But now I can do so without interruption. Now as for my second mission that this team went on, it was to go to, and find any items of importance, in Whirlpool village, the village of my Uzumaki heritage. I thought who better to show the things we discovered than the council itself. Does anyone not agree?" asked the boy gaining his angry edge back to his tone.
"Naruto-San, enough with the games please, just tell us what your team and team 10 found." requested the Hyuga head.
"With pleasure Hiashi-San. You see we took 2 days to get there to the ruins, and imagine if you will, our surprise when we find only a half destroyed village. The Uzumaki have returned to Whirlpool now that the toxins are gone, and have requested help from there old allies, Konoha, to rebuild, but more on that latter since I am getting ahead of myself. Now when we go down from the hill we crested to see the village we meet one of my cousins, the Uzukage Ryoku Uzumaki. He was at first very demanding on knowing who we were but when he learned who I was that ended. From there we went to his office to speak and imagine my surprise when I find that he had sent a letter MONTHS ago to Konoha for aid in helping rebuild, as was there right since the treaty you all signed with them stated such aid would be given. The personal Hawk of the Uzukage was sent and returned with no reply and no damage done to the bird. So why don't we start the first question off as to how the bird had gotten intercepted without any damage to it and yet still be forced to return?" stated the boy as hell laced his lips, promising pain if he did not get a good answer.
The room was silent. It had been silent since the mention that the village was being rebuilt. But now it was so silent you could hear the children playing hopscotch outside...three floors down with a closed window.
"Naruto-Kun, what do you mean? This is the first time I have heard that the village was even back, let alone being rebuilt by Uzumaki. Had the council and I known we would have sent aid and yourself to help them." stated the old man as he sat there shocked.
"Yes, yes you would have. But there in lies the problem, or so I am going to guess. You see from what I understand, the Uzukage's Hawk was sent to find either the current Hokage, or his advisers so that they would know that the Uzumaki asked for there help. Now the only way that the Hawk would be unharmed would be if the bird had delivered the message, since it was tested for any type of Genjutsu by my own eyes. That bird had no traces of any type of Genjutsu known to man. Now if that is the case than either you Jiji, which I believe is not the case, or one of your advisers was given the message." stated the red head as everyone in the room took in the news. A few were shocked, a few were angry and a handful were ready to kill someone.
Naruto may not be the most hated in the village anymore, but that did not mean that everyone had excepted him in full. Most just ignored him and treated him decently enough so that they would not be harmed by the ninja. Others on the other hand, truly cared for the boy, and to find out that the village had kept the proof of family from him was something that most could not except.
"Naruto-Kun, what are with the scrolls on your back?" asked the Yamanaka head. At this point everyone looked at them and realized that he indeed had huge scrolls on his back.
"Thank you for asking." stated the red head, "You see I am tired of many things here in this village. Namely the fact that no matter what I do in this damn place it seems like the only respect I am given is from what my parents have done. But mostly for the fact that most of the people here are still so willing to lie and cheat there way to greatness, usually at my suspense. So should I not get a proper answer as to why my family's return was kept from me I plan on leaving. I am sure that the village in the Whirlpools would love to have not only a royal blooded Uzumaki, but also 2 demons in there ranks. More so since every last person in that village works with seals everyday of there lives and would know that the seal on my stomach still, can and would hold back a full grown demon. So if worse came to worse I could always fake being a Jinchuriki if I needed to."
"What! Naruto-Kun what about Hinata, Ino, and Haku. Not to mention Fu, would you just leave them here?" asked Hiashi as he was shocked at the boys statement. Something that everyone was together with at this point since they had expected many things to happen but not this.
"No, Hiashi-San, I would not abandon them. With the clan heads permission I would ask that they come with me. I know what you all are going to say, but this is clan business and has nothing to do with the council so you have no say in the matter. I am sure that the village of my family would be OK with having a Hyuga, Yamanaka, Hyoton user, as well as two full blooded demons, and one demon container in there mist. Now like I said though this is your decision.
If you agree to this I will talk to my cousin and have a branch of the Hyuga, and Yamanaka be made in the village. They will be able to come and visit you all at any time because of my Hirashin seals that I have placed at both compounds. Not to mention that since Whirlpool and Konoha are both allies they will be allowed in the village at any time. Not to mention that it will give both clans great standing in the rebuilt alliance. Fu, and Haku could both have a true clean slate there.
Do not think me a fool councilors, as I am nowhere near an idiot. I saw how this village looked at Haku and Zabuza when they walked into the village neither one was given the respect they deserve. Haku is a great ninja and person. Zabuza, although he made some bad choices in life, is a very polite person when you get to know him. Not to mention that he could have trained your ninja better than most in the ways of the sword. And Haku with her Hyoton style Ninjutsu could greatly increase your defensive abilities in this village, something the Uchiha, someone who is supposed to be a prodigy at fire jutsu at, can attest to. Seeing as his fire was no better than a lighter under Haku's ice mirrors.
Then there is Fu, a Jinchuriki of the Nanabi. Someone that I can attest to being a strong person and ninja. Granted I saw only a few of her abilities in a spar that we had, but that being besides the point. She has the brain of a Nara, strength of Tsunade Senju, and the speed of a dragonfly. Yet I am willing to bet, if the glares I saw aimed at her already, that she will be treated as I was here, not that I would allow such a thing to happen.
Now councilors to get back to your original question, inside these scrolls are the Namikaze-Uzumaki compound, including there vast libraries and all the secrets held in it. Should I leave I will be taking them with me as is my right as clan head. By your own laws I am entitled to them and as such you cannot take them away or keep them from me. Now let me ask once more: why was my families return kept from me?" finished the boy in a deathly quiet voice. Something that cut through the silence like a hot knife to butter.
Finally after a few minutes though a civilian elder stood up. One Danzo Hamura, leader of the Anbu division, ROOT. He had been ordered to disband the division years ago but had secretly kept it alive. This man stood maybe 5'8 at most, had a cane to stand on, with half his face and left arm completely covered by either bandages or his Kimono that he always seemed to have on.
"Namikaze-Uzumaki-San, I was the one who took the message, but please listen to what I have to say before you do anything hasty." asked the man as he saw everyone stare daggers at him and at one point 2 demons even growled at this, before nodding to continue, "Now just for this moment I want to ask you, what would you have done had I not done so?" asked the man in a serious tone.
"Simple I would have went to them then and helped." stated the boy in a growl.
"And that inlays the problem. You see now that your secret is out about you being the Namikaze and Uzumaki heir, more villages will either want you dead, or on there side. Now what would have happened if you had rushed to the one thing that any orphan, be it one who knows his parents or not want?" continued the man as realization dawned on Naruto.
"They want a family...and that is how the other villages would have gotten me. I see what you mean here councilor-san but that does not excuses what you did. Just when were you planing on telling me then if you knew?" asked the red haired boy as he slowly calmed down.
"Well you see, I sent a few Anbu still loyal to me to check this out. Yes Hiruzen I know you told me to disband ROOT but that does not mean that there are still a few Anbu out there that still would do as I ask as long as it did not harm the village. Now on to the point, three days after you left on your mission the two Anbu returned and informed me that there was no way to enter the village but the signs of life were obvious. Had you returned without going to Whirlpool I would have informed you and the council then. I am...sorry for not telling you sooner Naruto-San but I had to make sure the village was safe.
What you do not realize is that this village is still tending wounds from not only the Kyuubi attacking but also from the ninja wars. Yes on the outside we look like a prospering village, but you yourself can attest to how some of the village can be darker than the others. You our not only a great ninja but you are also son to two great ninja. I know that earlier you expressed great hatred for people not acknowledging your own deeds but in this it is not your own. The other villages do not know how strong you are other than what they can gleam from a few chance glances. But because of that the only thing you are good for in our village's defense, at least stopping it before it happens, is that you ARE an Uzumaki-Namikaze. Both clans are feared around the great villages and as such you are a great deterioration from wars before they even happen. If you were taken from this village than we would have Iwa or Kumo at our doorstep before the day was over.
Not to mention that had you heard that you had family in Whirlpool than you would have ran to them. Now if you went there and they were not what you were expecting than it would harm you mentally and that is not something most people can overcome. To finally have the one thing in this world that you have ever wanted and to find out that you were not welcomed or something than you would be devastated and easily harmed by someone meaning you harm that is why I kept this from the council and you. Had I told the council the Hokage would have ordered me to tell you and then those fears might have come to fruition."
Naruto and the others were silent as they let the old war hawk continue with his tale. It made sense to them all. Even Naruto could not help but agree with the fact that if he was in the same position that he would have done the exact same thing. He may not like it but he would agree that it was necessary.
"Very well Danzo, I will agree that what you did, although still angers me, was the best option open at the time. BUT should I find that anything was left out or not the full truth you can bet that you will die by my hand. Now enough of this bull crap and let us get on with the proceedings. This, councilors, is Fu Shibiki from waterfall country and she is the person I was sent to retrieve for my mission that was a complete success. She has already explained to me that she wished to join our ninja ranks. Her rank in Taki was Genin but from the spars she and I had I would place her at mid Chunin maybe low Jonin if she could get better Ninjutsu skills, since most of her skills involve tijutsu. This is something that I can help her with and will soon be rectified. With your permission I ask that she be made at least a Genin since she has proven competent in the ninja arts." requested the boy as the scrolls on his back vanished into the seal on his back and Fu stepped forward.
To say that the council was all for her joining would be an understatement since who in there right mind would pass up the chance to have two demons and one demon container in there ranks? It was easily made that Fu would be a Chunin and would be welcomed to try for Jonin in three months, after a small probation period of course. Not that she was suspected of it, but they could not have a conversation about the defenses of the village and then let an outsider just have free reign in the village without at least making sure she was not a spy.
So with that Fu joined the group in leaving the chambers with a new headband with the leaf village symbol stamped upon it to show that she was a ninja. Soon though Naruto knew that he would have to leave the village once more before the Chunin exams to keep his promise and bring help for his mother's families village.
(End)
OK guys and gals I know this chapter, in my mind anyway, fully sucks but to set it up for later I had to do certain things. I am ending it here because I plan on skipping his return to Whirlpool and just giving an overdraft on what happened. I know this doesn't sound exciting but trust me it will all work out. There will be a few flashbacks about what happens but other than that it will just basically be a recap and then on to the Chunin exams, FINALY. Now I know this chapter was dull and had really no action in it but next one will, promise. Now before I forget I need to inform you all that at this point in time I am actually really sick so that is the major reason I am not updating very quickly. No worries just a bug that don't seem to want to go away, but sadly it will be a minute before I get the next chapter done. As im really really tired all the time. I am not however giving up this story, I wont ever even if there is only one reader you can expect a chapter at one point or another. Now since I am out of ideas for the most part to add into this AN. I guess ill end it there, also I am helping a friend of mine, when I can, edit his chapters, so check it out and tell us what you think. The story is called Naruto of the nine Bijuu, by Chiposkippy. Know that I am working on his older chapters so I am not to credit for anything more than just looking it over and adding some things here or there, NO I AM NOT HELPING HIM WITH SPELLING SO REST ASSURED LOL. Well by everyone hope this doesn't make you hate this story since every story has a bad chapter or two.
