Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto so that means that I'm not Masashi Kishimoto.
Chapter posted 11/28/2008.
In last chapter there was a record of anonymous reviews, some of them explaining their own versions of the Hiraishin. I
won't discuss any of them. The important thing about a technique is not how it works, the important thing is the result.
Perhaps I didn't explain this detail well, but the Hiraishin can be used without the seals in the three pronged kunais.
Said kunais are used to affect a great area so Minato can defeat multiple enemies with a single use of
the jutsu.
SOMEWHERE IN THE SEAL
Naruto found himself in an unknown place, it looked like a sewer. How did he got there? The last thing he recalled was
the fight with the unknown ninjas... Everything was going fine until he accidentally destroyed his father's clone, then
his father appeared and those masked stabbed him...
The sorrow was beyond description, all the happy world he got in the last weeks was destroyed in a few seconds... He
heard the voices of the ones who killed his father and he only could see red. The sorrow turned into wrath, Naruto
didn't care anymore about anything except one thing: Destroy those who took away his father.
The massacre didn't last long, he pummeled them until they didn't move, he even didn't need to use the claws he grow.
With the revenge satisfied, the sorrow came back stronger than ever and only one thing could take it away, he saw that
kunai...
Then his father appeared and slapped him, then everything turned black.
The relief of the knowledge that his father was alive soon was replaced with his natural curiosity, where was him? He
reminded one of his talks with his father about the seal. According to him, the pocket dimmension that was the seal
looked like a dungeon because it's main function was to keep the Fox trapped, to never escape. A cheap psychiatrist would
say that this place looked like that as a reflection of Naruto's tormented mind and bla, bla, bla. The place was a prison
placed in Naruto's belly, not in his brain, of course it had to look like a sewer.
After some wandering, the boy found a chamber with a gargantuan cell and tag with a kanji that said "SEAL".
"WELL, WELL... IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE AN UNEXPECTED GUEST... DID YOU GET LOST IN THE ROAD OF LIFE?", said a malignant voice
in a mocking tone, the voice of the Kyuubi no Kitsune.
Meanwhile in Konoha, Kakashi sneezed for no reason and had to change his mask.
In different time line Naruto would have been disgusted with the Fox because he was the responsible of his hard life. In
this time line the Fox was the responsible of his hard life... and the one who killed his mother.
"BASTARD!!! YOU'LL PAY FOR EVERYTHING!!!", roared while he charged at the demon.
"BRING IT ON, LOSER!!!", teased the Kyuubi.
An invisible barrier stopped violently the boy.
"WHAT'S GOING ON? WEREN'T YOU GOING TO MAKE ME PAY?", mocked the Fox.
"Shut up, MONSTER!!", responded an angry Naruto.
"MAKE ME, BAKA! DESTROY THAT BARRIER REMOVING THE SEAL AND SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!", exclaimed the Kyuubi with a mocking
smile.
Naruto was going to remove the seal when he realized that he was about to do.
"No, I won't! I'll better leave you rotting here until you die", said Naruto calming down.
"THIS SEAL WON'T LAST FOREVER, BRAT. SOMEDAY WE WILL MEET WITHOUT THESE BARS, IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE IF YOU WILL KEEP SO BRAVE", said the Fox.
Naruto noticed that the monster relaxed a little and talked.
"I LIKE IT OR NOT, MY LIFE DEPENDS ON YOUR SURVIVAL... THIS IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO: I'LL LEND YOU MY CHAKRA AND..."
"No", interrupted Naruto.
"BRAT, DON'T INTERRUPT ME, WITH MY CHAKRA WILL..."
"I said no! I know why you want to give me your chakra, you want to make me dependent of your power so I'll have to use it
more and more untill the point that it will end breaking the seal and let you free. I'm sorry, but I'll rather die than
ask for your help. If I win my battles, I will win because my own power, not yours", said Naruto reminding what his
father told him about the dangers of the Kyuubi.
"He didn't attack Konoha by his own will, Naruto, but this doesn't mean that he is an innocent creature. He is evil and as
all prisoners, he hates his prison. Don't accept anything from him because he will betray you at the minimal chance.
Don't use his chakra because it will weaken the seal and he will escape", said his father.
The Kyuubi let his rage loose, he would have killed Naruto if the seal didn't stop him.
"STUPID FOOL!!! I WON'T BE THERE FOREVER, SOMEDAY I WILL GET FREE AND YOU WILL BE THE FIRST ONE TO DIE! NOW GET OUT OF
HERE!!!", roared.
KONOHA'S HOSPITAL
Naruto woke up in a unknown bed. Before he could take a better look at his sorrounding he felt a pair a strong arms
embracing him.
"Naruto! Are you all right!? Why did you try to do that!?", asked his father in the verge of tears.
When he noticed that it was his father, he returned the embrace, letting all out.
"D-Dad... I-I thought they killed you...", said between sobs.
"I-It's over... Dad is here... Everything is going to be fine...", consoled Minato.
"Mom is here too...", said Kushina, sad for not being able to console him too.
Minutes later, Naruto finally calmed down. Although his father told him that there was nothing bad with crying, he
couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
"Naruto can you tell me what happened since my clone was dispelled?", asked Minato.
Naruto told him all the story, including the visit to the Kyuubi's chamber.
"You did the right thing, your future self lost a lot of time trying to control a power that was not his. The only
efective jinchuurikis are those who befriend with their hosts, unfortunately this is not your case", said Minato while he
cursed himself for not train Naruto against Genjutsu sooner.
"I'm stupid! If I had prepare him better, he wouldn't have to suffer like that!", thought.
"Don't punish yourself, Minato. He will be able to defend himself against it, now he will be more motivated to learn
about it", said Kushina.
"Dad, what happened? Who were those ninjas and why they came after us?", asked Naruto.
Minato explained him the fight against the missing nins and Zabuza, the trap they set up to catch the traitors and what
happened until Mizuki and the other villager arrived (Minato kept the most gory details for himself)
"... Then, after some punching, they confessed that a ninja from another village offered them a great sum of money in
exchange for yourself. We went to the other meeting point but the ninja already left...", said Minato.
"... I never thought that I would be persecuted because our bloodline... I-It's almost what happened to Hinata-chan years
ago...", said Naruto.
"Yes, that was what the ninja from the other village wanted Konoha to believe, but after more interrogation and they
described us how the ninja looked like, we discovered the truth... He was man with a spiral mask with a single eye hole
and a red cloud cloak", said Minato.
"What!? You mean...", exclaimed Naruto.
"Yes, everything was one of Madara's schemes... He chose some villagers who disliked you because the Fox because they
would more easy to buy over. If they failed, at least he would get rid off Zabuza, obviously he didn't know that I would
spare him", said Minato.
"Dad, did he travelled back in time too?", asked Naruto.
"I don't know... The Akatsuki send Itachi to test my power and now they tried to capture you in an indirect way. We must
assume that Madara came back too...", said Minato concerned.
He looked into his jacket an handed a three pronged kunai with a seal to Naruto.
"It was going to be a birthday present, but it's better to give it to you now...", said.
Naruto looked excited at the weapon, reminding the fight his father had against that ANBU where he used his kunais for
fight.
"Are you going to show me how to fight enlongating the kunai range and all?", asked happily.
Minato smiled and ruffled his hair.
"Yes, but not yet. First I'm going to teach you how to counter Genjutsu and improve your ability with sealing. Improved
sealing as you tried to do is only for experts, I don't want you to have another accident like that in the middle of a
combat. With this kunai I will be able to teleport where you are, you only have to throw it at the enemy", said his
father.
Naruto nodded and then his face turned more serious.
"Dad, there's something I want to tell you...", said.
"What it is?", asked Minato intrigued.
Naruto looked at his hands, reminding when he killed the Demon Brothers.
"I-I never understood why the Sasuke of that time line left Konoha, renouncing to everything for his revenge... Until
today... When I thought they killed you I felt like my life was destroyed, the pain was unbearable... The only thing I
wanted was to kill those who killed you, make them suffer... W-While I used the Fox'x power to crush them, a part of me
thought that the pain would be gone after their deaths, another part was enjoying the pain I was infilicting to them, but
after I killed them I only felt an empty gap in my heart... The revenge didn't give me back what I lost and I hated
myself for what I did... ", said sadly.
Minato didn't say anything, Kushina was crying for her child.
Naruto continued.
"... I-I don't want to turn into a monster for revenge... I-I don't want anybody else to pass throught the same thing...
Dad, you told me to not befriend Sasuke because he would end hurting me. But I can't... Now I know what he was going
through, I-I can't abandon him and let him destroy his life... If I want to be worth of the Hokage title I must save him
from himself", said finishing his talk.
Minato and Kushina never felt so proud of his son, Naruto was no longer the kid who woke up this morning vowing to finally
master the Rasengan, Naruto was now a young man in the path of surpass his parents.
Minato unfolded a scroll an unsealed an item while Kushina realized what was Minato going to do.
Naruto looked at it curiously. It was a forehead protector without a symbol, where should be the symbol of a leaf with a
spiral there was nothing.
Minato looked at his son with a smile.
"Naruto, in ancient times, before the founding of the great villages, there were no ninja academys nor academy exams. The
students became ninjas at the moment they showed enough maturity and survived their first life threatening fight. Today
you survived that fight and you just demostrated that you are mature enough...", said.
Naruto still didn't what his father wanted to say.
"... For that reason, I Minato Uzumaki Namikaze, Yondaime Hokage of Konoha, acknowledge you as a ninja", said while he put
the forehead protector into Naruto.
Naruto couldn't believe it.
"T-This means that I'm already a ninja?", asked excited.
"From my point of view, yes, you are a ninja. But you'll have to graduate at the Academy for being a ninja for the
Village", said Minato.
Naruto hugged his father excited.
"Thank you, Dad! You don't know what it means this for me...", said.
Minato already knew, Kushina showed him her memories of the troubles that Naruto had to surpass to get his headband, she
only hoped to be with them the day he will graduate again.
They heard someone knocking the door, Minato put back his mask.
"Come in", said.
Haku got into the room.
"Good night, Arashi-sama...", said Haku.
"Good night Haku, how was your talk with the Hokage?", responded Arashi.
"It was pretty fine... By the way he asked me to tell you to go to the Council chambers to talk about the incident", said.
Arashi got up with a grunt, he was not in the mood to talk with them.
"I'll go right now. Let me introduce yourselves... Naruto this is Haku; Haku this is Naruto...", said while the boys
exchanged greetings, "... You should have a talk while I deal with those fools, you'll find out that you have many
things in common", said while he left the place.
"When we will come back I bet that they will be already friends", said Kushina.
"Your father really loves you... You are very lucky...", said while he saw Arashi leaving the place.
"What do you mean? All fathers love their sons don't they?", asked the puzzled blond.
Haku then told him his sad story...
COUNCIL CHAMBERS
Harizen Sarutobi sighed, these emergency meetings were more frequent than he would have wished since he took the Hokage
Hat again.
The first one was after the Kyuubi attack, they decided Naruto's destiny and he was named Hokage again, unfortunately he
was not named Hokage yet when they voted about Naruto or he would have been able to oversee it.
The second one was after the kidnapping of Hinata Hyuuga, Danzo would have loved to go to war but the sacrifice of
Hizashi saved Konoha from more suffering, no wonder why he and Minato would become friends.
The third one was after the Uchiha massacre, he still doesn't know why the boy he thought would make a fine Godaime
would kill all his clan, including his parents, minus his younger brother.
Now they had in the chamber two groups of bodies of foreign missing nins, a group of civilian and ninjas of Konoha bodies
and two beaten traitors tied up ready to respond to their remaining questions.
All the council members had a copy of the incident report. Those who were favorable to the Uzumakis were in an
outrage and were asking for the execution of Mizuki and the remaining villager; those who were neutral like the Hyuugas,
wanted to know all the details; the group who disliked them were talking among themselves, looking for a way to take
advantage of the situation. Danzo was trying to figure out a way to adquire the bodies of the missing nins and get their
secrets.
Everyone shut up when Arashi Uzumaki got into the chamber radiating a bit of killing intent. The council members who
wanted to accuse him of murdering Konoha citizens had the wise decission of keeping their mouths wide shut.
The Hokage headed at the council members.
"Ladies, Gentlemen... As you know, something horrible has happened here in Konoha, a conspirancy almost left us without
our most recent clan. Fortunately the plot failed and the traitors were caught but it will better if Uzumaki-san describe
us what happened", said.
Arashi looked at the corpses then at the prisoners who made the best they could to avoid his glare.
He told the story of the attack, avoiding the facts that he used jutsus from five different elements and that Naruto
killed some of his adversaries using the Kyuubi's power but some of them were already a bit scared of the fact that Naruto
managed to kill chuunin level ninjas.
"No wonder why we must carry out our Plan. But unlike these fools, we will suceed", thought Lady Miho.
Then he told them about the trap and the punishment he gave to the traitors. As expected it was followed by murmurs from
everyone. Some of them thought that it was excesive, others agreed with the punishment, another group found very likely
the execution of the ninjas using their own forehead protectors as weapons.
One of the Uzumakis detractors, a fat man who asked the execution of Naruto the day after the Kyuubi attack, got up
furious.
"We heard enough! The Fox Boy and that Demon Lover killed some of our fellow citizens, tortured two of them to accuse the
others of treason and they pretend to be the true victims! I demand a voting for execution of the Uzumaki "Clan" because
their coward actions against the Village!", exclaimed while his followers agreed and clapped.
Before he could do anything else he was being grabbed by the throat by a furious Arashi, who lifted him some centimeters.
His infamous killing intent was higher than ever, even the Hokage was a bit scared.
Arashi glared at him with fire in eyes and talked.
"One: There's a written contract with the signatures of the traitors that proves their guiltiness without any doubt,
also there's the fact that the prisoners were "interrogated" by the Hokage himself. Are you calling him a liar?", asked.
The followers of the fat man realized that their plan messed up and looked in fear while Arashi continued talking.
"Two: You not only broke the Sandaime's Law, with the punishment it takes, but you also made it in front of him. It is
brushing treason against our leader...", said
The councilor looked at the Sandaime realizing the great mistake he made, the Hokage gave him an unpleasant look.
Arashi was about to finish his talk.
"And Three: You defied the Hokage's authority proposing a votation for the execution of two Konoha's citizens who killed
some traitors, only the Hokage can decide things like that. The council's function is to advise the Hokage, not doing his
job. All this facts are proof enough to find you guilty of treason against the Hokage. As ninja of Konoha, my duty is to
give you a propper punishment...", said while he prepared his attack.
With a quick move, Arashi stabbed his hand into the councilor's chest, to everyone's horror. Then, with a horrible sound,
he ripped off the man's heart.
The councilor looked horrified at his own heart, still thumping, before he died.
Arashi let the body fell to the ground and throw the heart to a paper bin.
"H-How c-ould he do t-that?", asked a horrified councilor.
"It was very simple, he just focused some wind chakra into his hand; then, with his palm open, he introduced his hand
between the ribs of Fatso, grabbed the heart and pulled it out with some strength", explained Shibi Aburame.
"Crap, we Hyuugas are fearsome because we can kill with a strike to the heart... It will be nothing when people will
hear about a guy who can rip it off. The Uzumakis are a real threat to our supremacy in Konoha", thought Lady Miho.
Arashi then looked at the followers, they tried to escape, but they were inmovilized by his Fuuton Bunshin.
"Now, about you...", said walking slowly towards while he created a Kage Bunshin for each one.
"That's enough, Arashi", said Sarutobi.
"Hokage-sama, they must be punished...", responded Arashi.
"Yes, they will, but it will take me a lot of work to find replacements for them. I will decide a proper punishment later",
said the Hokage.
"Can I defy them all to a duel of honor?", asked Arashi.
(These duels were duels to death, as samurais, ninjas have to ask for their leaders's permission for dueling)
"No, you can't. You can get hurt", said Sarutobi.
"Can I beat them to a pulp?", asked.
"No"
"Can I inflict them any kind of psychological torture?"
"No"
Arashi looked contemptible.
"At least can I curse them?", asked a bit depressed.
"Well, I don't see anything wrong with it... What do you think? He can curse you, can't him?", asked the Hokage to the
councilors.
The councilors agreed, receiving some insults and curses was much better than an execution, they even suggested Arashi to
curse those who dared to wrong him or his son instead of beating them.
A sinister spark appeared in Arashi's eyes and his clones while they smiled under their masks.
The clones performed some hand signs.
"Wait, he is going to kill them! Someone stop him!", said Koharu.
"No, he is just cursing them...", said the Hokage.
"FUIN JUTSU! Disgrace Curse!", exclaimed the Arashi clones while the stamped their palms into the councilors foreheads.
Then in said foreheads appeared sinister seals.
"I don't know about yours, but my curses really work...", said Arashi looking at his victims, "... This is the Disgrace
Curse, the good thing: It won't do anything to you. The bad thing: It will affect anybody around you"
Everyone listened to Arashi while he kept explaining his curse.
"... Your mere presence could make people have strange accidents without no reason while you are near, food could rot,
plants get dry...", the effects of the seal are unpredictable but they will be always bad for anybody except you", said
Arashi in a sinister tone.
Just at that time, legs of some of the chairs of the cursed broke, making them fall to the ground.
"Oh yes, I forgot. You are inmune to the effects of your own seal but not the other's", said Arashi.
The cursed ones looked with supplicant eyes at the Hokage, just at that time his smoking pipe broke.
"You'll kept these seals as punishment. Now get out of here!", said in a cold tone.
They got out of the chamber, making their best to not rub in each other.
The Hokage looked at the rest of the council.
"Now that the plot against the Uzumakis is explained and resolved, this is the end of the meeting. In three days we will
have another meeting to decide about Momochi Zabuza's petition of asylum and if he and his son Haku could join the Leaf",
said finishing the meeting.
There will be more more NaruHina in next chapters, I didn't forgot about them.
OMAKE: CHAPTER 38 DELETED SCENE
... A cheap psychiatrist would say that this place looked like that as a reflection of Naruto's tormented mind and bla,
bla, bla. The place was a prison placed in Naruto'd gut, not in his brain, of course it had to look like a sewer.
After some wandering, the boy found a chamber with a gargantuan cell and tag with a kanji that said "SEAL".
"So, finally I get a visit after all these years...", said a feminine voice in a sensual tone.
To his surprise inside the cell there was not a feisty beast with the size of a mountain, rabbit ears (chuckles) and nine
tails. Inside the cell there was an impossible beautiful woman dressed with a white kimono with red flower motives. She
had a beautiful red hair that reached her waist, reminding him a lot about his own mother. The only features that
suggested the true identity of the woman were the long nine red foxy tails that confounded with her hair, her foxy hears
and her red eyes with slitted pupils.
"Y-You are a g-girl...", babbled the boy.
The Kyuubi chuckled.
"Yes, demons also have genders, Naruto-kun. Do you expected to see me in my battle form? I can change into it if you
like...", said the woman.
"N-No... You look better with this form...", said Naruto trying to recover from the surprise.
Kyuubi smiled.
"Thank you, I also prefer this one", said her with a sad smile that soon turned into a sadness gesture.
"I was waiting until you would come here so I could say that I'm very sorry about what happened to you...", said with tears in
her eyes.
"W-What?", asked Naruto confused.
The teary woman explained herself between sobs.
"I-I never wanted to attack Konoha, but that pale guy with snake eyes kidnapped my kids and... WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!?",
said with a demonic (and masculine) voice.
To Naruto's confussion, the woman turned into the giant fox he expected to see at first.
"YOU, THE ONE WITH THE KEYBOARD... YES, THE ONE WHO IS WRITTING THIS CRAP... I WON'T TAKE ANYMORE OF THAT SHIT!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW TIRED I AM OF THESE FICS WHO CHANGE MY GENDER!? I'M A FUCKING GUY!! THE STRONGEST BIJUU! NOT A WHIMPERING GIRL THAT WILL END MAKING HER JAILOR STRONGER OR EVEN BECOMING A MOTHER, SISTER OR GIRLFRIEND DEPENDING OF THE CREEPINESS OFTHE AUTHOR. IF HAKU WILL KEEP HIS PENIS IN THIS STORY I WON'T BE LESS THAN FEMBOY!", said furious.
Meanwhile in Konoha Haku and Sai sneezed at the same time.
The Kyuubi noticed that he had something back between his legs and smiled.
"THAT'S MUCH BETTER, NOW I...", tried to say before he noticed that he was shrinking.
While he shrinked, seven of his tails turned into precious stones. His body changed until he took the shape of a cute
humanoid fox with two tails who looked at Naruto.
"Hi, my name his Tails, when I get the seven Chaos Emeralds each one fuses with me, turning into a new tail turning me
into Kyuubi and...", said before looking angryly at the screen (in a cute way, of course)
"YOU, THE FUCKING WRITTER!! I'M GOING TO (CENSORED) YOU AND THEN I WILL (CENSORED), (CENSORED) AND (CENSORED). AFTER THAT, IF YOU ARE STILL ALIVE, I WILL (CENSORED), (CENSORED), (DEFINITIVELY CENSORED)..."

Note to Leaf Ranger: This omake has nothing to do with your story, I have planned it before you started to write it and
it's a very good story.
Note to everybody else: Remember to review.
