I do not own Naruto
Chapter 36
Naruto was startled as Hiashi Hyuuga approached him. Some councilmen still feeling guilty for the hell he had been put through as a child, had asked him to tell the youth of his position as a representative for both his mother and father's clans in the council.
Considering he was the last of both the young man had honestly no clue that he had any power on the council, nevertheless to be a part of it. Realizing though that he could not be Hokage and a councilman at the same time, this is where Hiashi couldn't help but laugh as the young man turned to one of the few adults he trusted.
Iruka, despite being a teacher, was proud to act as a clan head for Naruto's family, of sorts until the blonde's own children were able to take over. The brown haired Chuunin surprised that he of all people was asked and not Kakashi. The youth had to look at him pointedly and remind the older man, about the Copy Nin's tendency to being late.
And that with his luck, all the important things he might believe in, could be thwarted with ease.
He understood right that minute... what Naruto referred to. Himself and Sasuke... Both boys had been the talk of Konoha as the villagers quite frankly had no idea what to think really. A lot of the teens and children were admittedly confused as some worshipped one or the other in a fashion. But more or less couldn't figure out who to be loyal to.
Therefore they waited and listened and trusted in those like Iruka to help them understand the blonde youth and what he believes in. And in doing so they learned to be the kind of people, which their parents and their idols would like very much.
And the same goes for the older ninjas as well...
Naruto's clam joining the council in a way, would go towards gathering more to Hiashi, who was a good man and knew things were changing in Konoha,. With Iruka's help, Kurenai, who despite never really being married to Asuma, was the acting head for the Saurotobi Clan, until Konahamaru was ready to take over.
A know supporter of the blonde, the woman and the little boy, were being denied their rightful spots, that the Third and then his son had held.
When Iruka had arrived at the meeting, to determine Kurenai's position, Hiashi was smiling as some of the councilmen who were often against him winced loud and clear. Those like Takahashi as well as Danzo, often teamed together forming enough of a block to prevent him from doing much of anything to make Konoha better.
And it was well know fact that a lot of the things that Hiashi had been trying to do?
Iruka and Kurenai both heartily agreed with, for although he could not readily do anything, they knew most of the ninjas that had done their best to watch over Naruto as a child. Those that Iruka had witnessed time and time again rescue the little boy.
Were all Hyuuga...
The Hyuuga with their Byakugan could readily tell that although Naruto had the seal within him, that the little boy's own chakra was blue and not the malevolent red of the Kyuubi's unless antagonized.
The fact that they could not speak up about it had hurt them greatly, for although there were many like Hiashi in the clan who could see that.
There were some who refused and those were the men and women on their own clan council. All still grieving for the deaths of loved ones lost to the fox. They refused to believe even what their own eyes told them, and had often prevented Hiashi from allowing what they had discovered from being told. With the death of some over the years since the events of that dreadful night, as clan head, Hiashi had slowly been able to replace more and more of them with those who had seen.
And believed...
Hiashi now had a very powerful ally in the young Chuunin. For now that the true nature of the seal had been released and the observations of the Hyuuga known. To harm Iruka Umino in any way would guarantee, bringing the Kyuubi out.
Because as many know, the blonde would always want to protect and avenge his most precious people, and the teacher was definitely on that list.
All of the Rookie 9 and their Senseis believed in what the blonde was capable of. Many times he had been sent on missions by this so called Council, in hopes he would be killed. Each time he had returned and in doing so had also brought with them a powerful new ally.
Naruto saved them from Gaara and in doing so not only reached and brought back the humanity in the sand ninja. When the youth became Kazekage, he willingly became an ally of Konoha with his people. Snow, Waterfall, all sorts of people whom Team 7 had met in their journeys had become an ally to their Village.
With Iruka there as well as Kurenai, it began to tip the balance in favor of reforms.
Already with war forthcoming, the academy was stepping up in their training of the students. Now thanks to changes that Iruka had discussed with Naruto concerning some ideas he had. The meeting that they were having today would be to discuss chakra tests to gauge the precise amount a person had.
Naruto and Kabuto both being prime examples of those whose control or sheer amount far outlasted their peers in the academy. It had led Naruto who had wondered if there were other young children as well as Men and Women who had been rejected or even failed their genin exams to the point that they had quit.
This was something that could be accomplished with the aide of the Hyuuga who were more the willing to use the Byakugan to test out this theory and what they had found was astonishing...
There were indeed several young men and women who had failed to pass the tests whose control was phenomenal. But yet whose chakra reserves were low.
No one though noticed and no one bothered and with the fact that Tsunade needed medics, where control was desperately needed. Ayame of the Ramen stand for example once again found herself being drafted to aide in the healing of the injured.
The other though was far less, but they had discovered that although no where near Naruto's level of Chakra, that two 12 year old boys and 1 10 year old girl whom were still in the academy had the exact same problems that Naruto had.
The simple bunshin was far out of their reach and yet when they attempted the Kage? Each one of them produced 3 or more with relative ease.
Ironically all three were from the same clan, a clan which had rejected Naruto and to who the blonde had not known were his family for they had changed their name to escape their former village's destruction.
Councilman Takahashi...one of the ones who vehemently wanted to stick to traditions despite the secrets he knew and kept. He was forced in order to keep his own children from being killed by a certain councilman of the village, to hate and to change his name.
And it was despite his desires to protect a little boy whom desperately needed him and whom was slowly growing jealous of this man whom had usurped his place in the blonde's life along with others that was rightfully his and his family.
You see Takahaski was Kushina Uzamaki's younger brother. Hence Naruto's blood uncle...
