P.S this may or may not be a harem fic.

Chapter 2

Tsunade and Shizune arrived in the Hidden Leaf village a good day before Team 7 would arrive, many watched in awe. However many of the shinobi had spotted the slug Sannin notice the underlining rage in her features. Shizune simply looked around the village taking in the changes that had occurred during the last thirteen years. As the duo entered the Hokage tower Tsunade didn't hear the protests from the Hokage's secretary as she reared her foot back bringing it forward sending the door flying as she kicked it off its hinges heading toward the hokage's desk. The old man had the good sense to duck as said door flew over his head. "Tsunade, this is an unexpected surprise," he said uncertainly watching as his former student was glaring coldly at his fellow guests the three heads of the Village council.

"Cut the bullshit, old man," Tsunade snapped fist clenching. "All I want to hear out of your mouth, did you agree with or know that these old farts told me my grandson was dead?"

For a moment the old Hokage was uncertain at what he just heard for a second he froze in thought finally with a sigh he steepled his fingers in front of him leaning forward. "No, I had no idea that was what you were told. I had assumed you hated the boy for the nine-tails."

"Sensei how you can say that," Tsunade shouted tears forming then rolling down her face. "Knowing how devastated I was when my brother and Dan were killed. I cherish my family more than anything in the world, I was so happy that my little Minato and Kushina were going to have a child."

With a single nod Sarutobi turned to his former teammates turned advisors and the old war hawk. His teammates looked at anything but him or Tsunade, while Danzo didn't even look guilty. "Naruto is currently out on a mission he should be home by tomorrow. Please allow me to talk to him before meeting him, his life hasn't been easy and to find out that he had blood relative living that could have taken care of him," the old man sighed. "Let's just say things wouldn't have been pleasant..."

"Fine but what about these three lying sacks of trash," Tsunade jabs her finger at the three elders. "Naruto is the blood relative of two of three founding members of this village, what these three shits tried to do should be considered treason."

"How dare you, what we did was for the good of the village," Homura states scowling at the younger woman.

"By what denying my grandson his heritage, letting every single villager treat him like garbage," Tsunade's eyes still held tears in them a mixture of angry and grief. "Minato would be enraged at what's been going on since he gave his life for this village," she turned to the old Hokage. "I'm going to open up the Namikaze grounds, once you've explained everything to him tell him to come find me. I have thirteen years to make up things with my grandson," she chuckled weakly heading for the door. "Grandma Tsunade, who would have believed that day, would ever come."

Sarutobi watched as his former student walked out of the office giving a deep sigh again before looking at his former teammates. "We will talk about your liberal use of my authority at a later date, what I will discuss is what we felt a week ago."

"Yes, the amount of power we felt surely must have been sensed in all the four corners of the Elemental Nations," Danzo replied. "Not even the nine-tails thirteen years ago had such power, if we can somehow wield that power we'd unstoppable."

Sarutobi raised an eyebrow; he already had an inkling of where the power originated from having spent a majority of time with his dead successor. "I propose we wait and see if the power we felt will be of any benefit to the village before we approach it. Until we know what we're dealing with."

Jiraiya had been a bit worried since he felt that huge chakra signature, many wouldn't have notice it or recognize it at first glance. But being the most familiar with it after all he watched helplessly as the young man who had been like a son to him give his life for his village. The moment he felt that huge chakra he feared for his godson's life that was until it broke off into nine separate chakra fields. What could it mean, one moment it feels as if the chakra from the fox was escaping the next it feels like the fox exploded into nine different powers with the last two being ungodly powerful. Thinking of the last two signatures he felt Jiraiya prayed they hadn't changed Naruto. "I should reach the Hidden Leaf in time for the Chunin Exams, just hope Naruto is alright Minato would never forgive me if something happen to the kid."

Team seven were walking in silence Sasuke in front, Kakashi just behind him, Sakura was walking behind the jonin while Naruto brought up the rear. Naruto's thoughts were all over the place and he was amazed he even had thoughts outside of ramen and Sakura. The powers he could feel at his command made him both giddy and wary. On the one hand it would insure a fast rise to the Hokage seat yet on the other if something happened and he was corrupted he could level not just the Hidden Leaf but the entire planet. He needed something or someone to help him; he glanced up looking at Sakura's back smiling faintly. He'd had a crush on the pink haired girl since he was five for a brief time they had been friends that was before the day he was sent to the hospital by a group irate villagers. He frowned darkly at that memory, he remembered getting out of the hospital looking for the pink haired girl. Finding her surrounded by new friends he feared ruining those friendships causing her to hate him so he left her alone. It wasn't until the second year of the academy when he approached her again, by then she made her transition into Sasuke-teme fangirlism. I lost her to that harpy group, but it was either that or losing her completely. He tried asking her out to lunch hoping to rekindle their old friendship but he was shot down almost as if she forgot all about him. She probably did forget after all three years is a long time and we were only five at the time. But god I miss her smile, now all I get is hits and insults, I just want my Sakura-chan back the one who promised to be with me forever. Drooping his head putting his hands in his pockets a dark aura slowly surrounding him.

Kakashi glanced over his shoulder feeling the melancholy taint in Naruto's chakra, it reminded him too much of Obito. Falling back casually he matched strides with the blonde reaching up and ruffling the boy's head good naturally. It wasn't until the boy's head came up revealing the tear streaks that Kakashi realized how close his thoughts had hit the mark.

"What do you want Kakashi sensei?" Naruto asked his voice was thick with emotion so much so that both Sasuke and Sakura looked back at him. He avoided looking at Sakura as she was the cause of those tears.."

"Nothing you just seemed to be rather quiet since we left Tazuna's," Kakashi stated.

With a shrug the blonde haired boy looked at the ground again, "I was thinking of changing my clothes, considering that my clothes change color when I activate those new powers. The outfit looks awesome in orange but not in white or black," this line of dialogue was to deflect the question while still being truthful. He decided to change his clothing style when he returned to the village to something a bit more useable.

"I see," Kakashi nodded knowing the blonde didn't want to talk about what was really bothering him in front of his teammates. Especially if what was bothering him was one of his teammates, his pink haired teammate to be exact. "Any particular style you want to try?"

"I don't know maybe when we get back to the village I'll figure it out," the blonde responded dropping back into silence lowering his head again. The jonin knew better than to force the real issue, which frustrated him. Naruto was his former sensei's son and he was hurting, yet there was nothing him to do except hope the issue will fix itself. It'll take something major before the fangirl wakes up; it took Rin losing Obito to realize that. I just hope Sakura comes to realize how much happier she would be with a hero then she would be with an avenger. Walking forward to retake his position between Sakura and Sasuke. Sakura was shocked, she had never seen Naruto cry before, deep down in her gut she felt something clench as she said "H-hey Naruto, you ok?" she watched as he tried to hide his and say "I'm fine Sakura-Chan." Sakura saw that the smile didn't reach his eyes though as she said "well if you're sure…" she said uneasily as she finaly figured what it was she was feeling inside herself. It was guilt.

Two hours later the group entered the village turning in their I.D.'s and made their way to the Hokage tower. Along the way Sasuke and Sakura notice the glances of uneasiness Naruto was getting, as they passed by people. Naruto barely noticed the absence of glares he was too busy with his own thoughts to care. They entered the staging area and Kakashi gave the Hokage his report on the land of Waves mission in detail however he avoided mentioning the issues involving Naruto's new powers.

"Very well Kakashi, we'll take out the funds for an A-Ranked mission out of the village coffers and split it amongst the four of you. We'll charge the Land of Waves the price for the A-Ranked mission when they get on their feet," the Hokage jotted down the information and sealed it into a scroll handing the scroll to an ANBU guard. "Sakura and Sasuke your dismissed, Kakashi, Naruto stay there are some things that need to be discussed."

The rosette haired girl and Uchiha both nodded one looking a bit worried while the other was indifferent. Soon as they left the room and closed the door the old Hokage interlocked his fingers looking at Naruto. "Naruto a week ago many in this village and no doubt throughout the Elemental Nations felt a huge power, this power I believe came from you." He looked over to Kakashi who nodded once. "Judging by the report your sensei gave, you got angry thinking that your teammate Sasuke was killed. I believe you unknowingly tried to tap into the Nine-tails instead it somehow split."

"It didn't split," Naruto said softly. "It was obliterated, completely destroyed. I can't explain how but that's what happened. In its place I got nine different powers from nine different people, each one stronger than the first."

"Yes, we felt them. The last two are by far the worse," Sarutobi stated. "Do you know how to access them?"

Naruto nodded smiling faintly, "Partially, it's kind of like saying a jutsu then poof my clothes, hair, and I think even my skin will change color to match what I see in my mind. Once the change sets in the powers come."

Sarutobi nods bringing his interlocked fingers underneath his chin thinking, "We'll consider this a double SS-rank secret if Danzo or anyone outside this village ever found out, it could doom us all," the Hokage smirked, "At least until you take this hat Naruto," he gestures to the Hokage hat. His smirk however vanished a second later. "Now on to the second reason I asked you to stay Naruto, it has to do with your only living relative. Which until yesterday I believed wanted nothing to do with you."

Naruto blinked his stomach lurching, I-I have family? "What do you mean what relative?"

The old Hokage sighed heavily, "It turns out the Village council heads in their ignorance and hatred of the Nine-tails, prevented you and your grandmother from ever meeting through some subterfuge. They told her that you were killed the night of the attack, and through my own failure to check to see why your grandmother left the village without a word that night. Apparently she left the village that night in grief believing you died. I had thought she left because of her hatred of the Nine-tails."

Kakashi listened his eyes widening at the implications, "She found out the truth when Naruto unleashed his new powers," he surmised.

Sarutobi nodded chuckling, "Yes, she marched into this very office yesterday damn near killing me with the front door kicking by it off its hinges right at me."

"Where is she?" Naruto asked

"At your father's compound waiting for you," Sarutobi reached into his desk and pulled out a scroll handing it to Naruto. "I was going to wait until you either became a Chunin or sixteen to give you this. But I feel your grandmother would kill me if I didn't give this to you now," he sighed rubbing his face. "In there is your father's two signature jutsus, as well as his last will and testament."

Naruto nodded after few more lingering details the blonde was dismissed and escorted out of the office by his sensei.

A few minutes in companionable silence the blonde and his silver haired sensei were walking towards the outskirts of the village. "I always found it strange, knowing Lady Tsunade as I do that she would of left you on your own. Losing her brother and lover during the Second Shinobi War hurt her deeply."

"You heard the old man, it was blasted old farts on the council," Naruto snarled softly. "I wasn't even allowed to have my grandmother around," blonde simply slumped his shoulders the fight leaving him. Meanwhile inside where the fox use to be the teenage boy slammed his fist into the wall and swore. They soon came upon a huge home surrounded on all sides by a concrete fence that about seven feet in height. The home itself was made of wood and paper looking much like the Hyuga compound only smaller. A koi pond was put in the middle of the big yard with a small bridge over the pond so you had to cross it to get to the front door. Banzai trees decorated the sides of the home in various places, the place screamed serenity. But it was the person standing in the doorway that Naruto had been eager to see. His grandmother.

She was dressed in her grey wrap around gi, blue pants, sandals, and green coat; however Naruto wasn't expecting the woman to look so young. Instead of seeing someone in roughly forties or fifties, he saw a woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties. "Grandma?"

Tsunade nodded walking up her eyes taking in his form before kneeling down and wrapping her arms around him, "I'm sorry Naruto-kun for everything, I-I thought," she couldn't finish her words her throat choking with emotion.

"The old man told me," the blonde boy slid his arms around his grandmother for the first time and let his own emotions sweep him away. Shizune had come out to watch and was standing with the silver haired jonin trying not to tear up herself. But the moving moment was about to get ruined, Kakashi was watching the whole thing and noted where the blonde boy's face was planted and well he was blown back by a gigantic nose bleed.

Shizune blinked a few times turning to look at her jonin colleague, "Kakashi?"

"He's being a pervert," Naruto said with a sigh pinching his nose looking at his sensei in disgust. "He reads those perverted orange books, the old man reads."

Tsunade developed a tick above her eyes, "So he's one of that perverts fans is he," she clenches her fist stalking over to the prone jonin. "If I ever catch reading that smut in front of my grandson Hatake, from this moment on," she then proceeded to pound the man (I'll leave it up to your imagination to what's done.)

Naruto laughed as he watched his grandmother beat his perverted teacher into the next millennium. Suddenly he grabbed his stomach and screamed in pain as he fell to the ground unconscious.
