Chapter 1: Revelations, Resolve, ... Alien Girl?
"Congratulations Naruto! You Pass!", Iruka said with a show of pride. "Alright! Thank You Iruka-sensei!", Naruto grinned foxily as he hugs the injured man.
"Umph! Calm Down Naruto, I'm still hurt you know.", he chuckled. "Oops! Sorry Iruka-sensei. Hehe...", Naruto replied, sheepishly rubbing the back of his head. "Let's go home Naruto while the Anbu take over.", Iruka said. "Okay Iruka-sensei!", Naruto exclaimed.
[Hokage's Office Same Time]
Hiruzen Sarutobi, The God of Shinobi, watched the interaction in delight between teacher and student through his crystal ball, but they were more like brothers. He was happy for the young teen, but frowned.
'I should've known Naruto wouldn't be able to perform the clone technique considering his reserves as an Uzumaki and a Jinchuriki. Without perfect chakra control like Hashirama-sensei and Tobirama-sensei, he would never be able to complete it.' he thought, reprimanding his incompetence.
'Naruto almost died and the Kyubi revealed to him, all because of my indecisiveness. That's not even counting his mental state.' He knew that even though Naruto seemed happy, his pain and anger hidden have been festering. 'It's time I told him about his mother. I did promise him all those years ago.'
[Flashback]
"Jiji! Jiji!", a six year old Naruto cried as he ran into hokage's office. "What is it Naruto-kun?", Hiruzen replied with a warm smile. Naruto tackle his surrogate grandfather, and started crying into his robes. "Jiji was my mom a whore?", Naruto sobbed. The old hokage froze and started to tremble in rage. "Who said that to you Naruto-kun?", he asked.
"S-some of the civilian children f-from the academy were picking on this girl. When I came into stop them, they b-beat me up. They called my mother a slut, a whore, and a b-bitch that never amounted to anything.", he sobbed.
By now, the old Hokage was leaking a massive amount of killing intent and chakra. The room bellowed under its pressure and the desk in front of them creaked and nearly splintered from its weight.'How dare they! Once I figure out who they are, I will personally make sure they will never become shinobi in my village!', the hokage roared.
He then felt a shiver and looks down to see Naruto shivering in fear from the pressure. Quickly subsiding it, he comforts the boy. Lifting Naruto up into his lap, he makes him look straight into his eyes."Naruto-kun... Your mother was never any of those things. Those people who call her that don't know her and if they did, they would be either ashamed or too wicked to even care. Those who are this way are ignorant and will never amount to anything worthwhile in their life. You got that Naruto-kun?"
The boy nodded solemnly.
"J-jiji can you tell me about my mother. Who was she?", Naruto asked. "I can't disclose her name Naruto-kun. I'm sorry about that.", the old man said. "Why not?!", Naruto whined cutely. Chuckling at the boy's antics. "Because she made many enemies through out her life and many would do nothing but want revenge on her through you. But it doesn't mean that I can't describe her for you. Is that okay?", Hiruzen said, smiling warmly.
Naruto nodded. "Okay jiji!"
"Now Naruto-kun, your mother was a lot like you when she was young and sometimes when she was an adult. She was loud, brash, and stubborn, but she would always help those in need even if she didn't know them.", he said, reminiscing on his time with the woman.
"Like you Naruto, she was an orphan, her family killed by war. She always wanted a family after that. She was very happy when she found out she was pregnant with you and it turned into be the happiest 9 and a half months of her life. She was excited to have you.", he said.
"How do you know jiji?", Naruto asked.
"Because Naruto-kun, I knew her personally and I've never seen her so happy before. Now Naruto-kun, I must say your mother was a kunoichi. A very, very powerful kunoichi, she made a lot of enemies during the last war. That is why I can not disclose her name until you are 16 years old."
Disheartened, Naruto nodded solemnly.
Sighing. "But you can learn her name and have her heritage if you pass the academy and become a shinobi. She wanted you to be able to fend for yourself before learning of her and your heritage, okay."
"Then I will be the best shinobi in the entire village! I'll become Hokage! Dattebayo!", Naruto exclaimed.
Chuckling at the boys antics and verbal tic. 'That is another thing that they have in common...', he thought. "Then I'll be waiting to give you that hat.", he said with a warm smile.
"Just you wait! I'll be the best hokage ever!", Naruto said while Hiruzen smiles warmly at the boy.
[End Flashback]
Enjoying the memory, he slowly climbs out of his chair, years of stress and age subtly showing itself, and walks towards Minato's picture frame. Taking down the photo to reveal a safe, He bit his thumb and smears the blood on the safe, unlocking it.
He pulls out a scroll with a red swirl on it. He closes the safe and reseals it while putting the picture back in place, while hiding the scroll into his robes. Sitting back into his chair, Hiruzen sighed as he continues his paperwork. 'Damn, this paperwork! Minato, how did you deal with this?!', the Old Hokage cried.
In the hospital, Naruto and Iruka are currently being patched up by Naruto's personal doctor, Mikado Ryouko.
She had short auburn-like hair, green jaded eyes, and fair skin that shows a soft complexion with a light blush that compliments her face. She also has unusual elvish like ears, but that only added to her beauty. With a soft smile on her face that would make any man's and some woman's heart stop from the beauty, while having a near perfect figure on any woman.
Wearing a pink blouse that showed a consider amount of skin, a black skirt that came up to her lower hips, and black heels with a standard doctor jacket that loosely hanged off her shoulders.
Iruka, blushing immensely, had are a hard time not looking at her considerable bust while being treated. Noticing this, Naruto started to have crafty ideas of getting his surrogate siblings together. Mikado has always been there for him since a young age, when he was almost killed by a mob. She was the only one who would treat him until the shinobi doctors arrived and finished treating him.
She became his personal doctor ever since, along with the head shinobi doctor, who gave him monthly check ups. Also becoming his psychiatrist as well, she knows things about him nobody knows about except for about his surrogate grandfather, he remembered the man's promise. Smiling at the thought, he could not help but get excited to get to learn about her.
"What are you thinking about Naruto-kun?", a soft voice interrupted his thoughts. "Oh nothing Mikado-nee, just thinking of something the old man promised me.", Naruto said. "Oh? And what is this promise, hmm?", Mikado giggled.
Naruto gave a soft smile, a true smile that few have ever seen but never forget. Both Mikado and Iruka are surprised by this and now even more curious at what the Hokage promised him. "He promised to tell me about my mother.", Naruto said softly but clearly, surprising both of the adults.
Fifthteen minutes later, Hiruzen continued his paperwork, as he hears a knock on the door. "Come in.", the old monkey said. "Hey old man!", Naruto exclaimed, barging through the door. Chuckling at his surrogate grandson's antics. "Good to see you my boy. Causing a bit of mischief I see.", Hiruzen said, eye smiling. Naruto chuckled nervously as he rubs the back of his head.
"Hehe... In my defense I was tricked into taking it.", he responded.
"Mhm... and it has nothing to do with the fact that you wanted to take on Mizuki yourself and learn cool new jutsu would it?", the old man asked with a knowful smile, causing Naruto to freeze. Naruto had a natural good sense of character and reading peoples motivations, similar to sensor type. "Hehe, you caught me jiji.", he responded nervously.
"Although it was brash and downright reckless, it did help me expose spies within the village and it's not the first time you've done it. This will be secretly put on your record under an A-Rank mission. The funds will be put into personal account okay?" "Wow! Thanks old man!", Naruto said. He beats his former sensei, become a ninja, learns about his mother, and get paid while doing it. Best. Day. Ever!
"Just don't do anything like that unless you are either ordered or can handle the situation okay?", Hiruzen said in a sickly sweet tone. "O-of course! Hokage-sama...", he chuckled nervously.
"Good. Now let's get onto our next order of business.", the hokage said, snapping his fingers. Four figures jump out of the shadows and out of the room, and seals starts to glow. "Huh?", Naruto questions as he watches the soft glow of the seals around them.
"Privacy seals. Good for when you want to talk in private and other... explicit reasons.", he said but whispered the last part, but Naruto heard him. "I don't want to hear your personal love life jiji. Too much information.", Naruto deadpanned.
The Old Hokage chuckled nervously. "Good point.", he responded. "Now Naruto-kun, what is said today does not leave the room unless you trust them completely. Okay?", Hiruzen said.
"You got it Jiji!", he said. Smiling, the old monkey pulls out the letter, a picture, and a scroll.
"Now your mother's name was Kushina Uzumaki of the Uzumaki Clan." "Clan?!" "Yes, she was from the extinct clan of the Uzumaki which held from the island nation of Uzushiogakure. They were a powerful and feared clan. You should know them from the history lessons over how Konohagakure was founded.", the Old Hokage said.
"But Jiji, I never heard of them before. I know I lack in my studies but it has never been mentioned in any of our lectures. Except maybe that woman named Mito that was the First Hokage's wife.", Naruto exclaimed.
Shocked by this revelation, Hiruzen 'I'll to investigate this later.', he growled. "I'll check into that once I have the time. That should have been in your curriculum." Naruto nodded at this.
"This is a picture of her.", Hiruzen said as he gives the picture.
It was a red headed woman with beautiful amethyst eyes. She had light tan skin that made her glow in the picture. She had a small bulge under her shirt and apron, showing she was pregnant and a foxy grin like Naruto's that seem to glow in happiness.
"Kaa-san...", Naruto whispered as tears slowly poured from his eyes. This was the first time he had a clue about his parents. He wondered about them for years despite the old man's reassures him that his parents were great people, he had still lingering doubt. But now he some proof to the old man's words. Seeing the tears, the old monkey couldn't help but smile as he saw his surrogate grandson open up a little.
But Hiruzen frowned at that. He failed as a guardian, he failed Kushina, he failed Minato... He failed the Uzumaki clan.
"Hiruzen... P-protect K-kushina. Keep the Uzumaki legacy alive.", a dying man said, as Hiruzen cradled his neck. "I will old friend, now rest. May peace be found in the next life.", a younger Hiruzen responded with conviction.
'I'm sorry old friend. I have failed you and your clan... But no more. The Uzumaki will live. Their legacy will live on in Naruto-kun and one day they will return to their former glory. I'll make sure of it.', he thought. After letting the moment settle, Hiruzen called out to the boy, pulling Naruto out of his thoughts.
"Naruto-kun. This is something that was recovered from the Uzumaki Clan. Your mother wanted me to give this to you the moment you graduated from the academy.", Hiruzen explained as he gave him a scroll. "This is the inheritance of the Uzumaki clan, the heart of their culture, their history, and their secrets. It was given to me by an old friend as a way for the Uzumaki to be reborn into the future…"
"Wow…", Naruto whispered in awe, holding the scroll tightly. He would have never thought that he was a part of such prestigious clan. He always thought he was a just a random orphan that the Fourth Hokage chose. "Naruto-kun…" pulling the boy from his thoughts.
"This is only one of two the scrolls, it only houses half of the inheritance and certain secrets will not unveil itself without its sister.", he explained. This was the explanation he was given to him by his friend as he died. "The other one has been lost to time during the villages destruction."
Nodding at this knowledge, Naruto stares at the scroll with determination. "… Old man. I'm changing my dream of being Hokage.", Naruto said lowly.
"Why?-" "My new dream is to become a splendid ninja, one that will revive my clan and make my mother and ancestors proud. And if I become Hokage along the way, that's just bonus." Naruto declared, staring at the old man eyes.
Hiruzen eyes widened as figures flashed behind the young boy. 'Hashirama, Minato… Ashina. Your legacy lives on within this boy. The Will of Fire burns brightly and I will spend the last of my days cultivating it.'
"That is a great dream and I will help you in your endeavors. Now, it's getting late and you need rest. Come back to my office in the morning and don't be late.", Hiruzen exclaimed.
"Alright old man. I just have one question that has been nagging me all night…" "What is it Naruto-kun?", the old man questioned. "When I fought Mizuki, I could have swore I saw different angles and memories from the fight. Why is that?", he asked.
"You seem to realized the secret to kage bushins. When a clone dispels, it sends its memories back to the user. It was created by the Second Hokage as way of scouting with less danger but also became a way of training for those with high amounts of chakra. However, be careful, too much information at once can cause damage to the brain, and the technique chakra intensive, but I doubt it would cause too much problems with your reserves.", he explained.
"Okay old man, I think I get it and I will be careful.", Naruto said, before leaving but is stopped. Naruto swiveled and hugged the old man. "Thank you… Jiji.", he said, before running off.. Tonight was a good night for him.
"Your welcome Naruto-kun!", he whispered contently.
"... You can come out now.", the Hokage growled.
"Hmm... It seems we have a rat.", the Hokage said, before appearing in front of the book shelf and stabbing one of the books. The book falls to the ground and in a puff of smoke, reveals an Anbu with a demon mask and the word Kanji for Root etched oon it. Narrowing his eyes, he is about to pick the Anbu up before a seal activates and he incinerates into nothingness.
'What are you planning... Danzo?', the Old Hokage thought before sitting back in his chair. "Sigh. Damn this paperwork.", he said as he sat down.
'Naruto-kun... I promise will make things better for you. I will fix my past wrongs and make sure that you will have a happy life.', he said before continuing. He had work to do in order to fix this village.
Arriving home, Naruto hides the picture and scroll into a secret compartment. "I'll look at the scroll later, but now I need a bath!", he said to no one in particular.
Taking off his clothes and grabbing a towel, he heads to the bathroom. "Ah... That is good feeling", he said as he leans into the hot bath. Naruto then looks out the window and into the stars.
'Kaa-san...', he thought. He thought of the letter and the words that she had spoken.
'Don't worry Kaa-san. I will become a splendid shinobi. I will return our clan to its former glory. And I will become Hokage! Dattebayo!', he thought. The boy spent a few seconds of recollection as he looked out his window into the pale moonlight and the night starts.
Suddenly, a bright glow appears in front of him 'Huh?', he thought. A girl, about his age, then appears right before him, landing on him in the process.
"Ouch... What hit me?", he thought aloud as he felt something soft in his hands. ... He gave it a small test squeeze.
"~Ahn!", moaned the soft feeling he was holding. Naruto looked up to see her... The most beautiful he has ever seen… And she was naked.
She had fair skin that seem to glow in the lighting. Her skin is very soft, softer than he ever felt before. She had short pink hair with beautiful amethyst eyes. He lastly saw a black tail protruding from her tailbone with a heart shape end to it.
'Almost like a succubus's.', he thought. He then felt something on his hands and gave them a quick squeeze eliciting a moan from the girl. Realizing what he done, he tried to pull back and say sorry, but was blocked by the bathtub. She seem to notice but before he could apoligize.
"Kyyyaaaaahhhhh!", she screamed. "Pervert!", she yells before she jumps up. Unfortunately, she slipped and fell onto Naruto's head, knocking her out.
"Ow! Are you alright?!", he tries to ask as he rubs his head.
He started to panic as he noticed she was out cold. 'Oh shit! Where she come from and how she get in here?!', he thought… "Well there is no way to ask her until she wakes up, so I'll just have to wait and take care of her.", he sighed while getting out of the bath and grabbing a towel. Picking her up bridal style, he takes her to his room. Drying her off and dressing her in some of his old sweats. Well without looking at her, which was a pain in the ass to do. "I am not a pervert. I am not a pervert.", he repeated.
[A few hours later]
Momo Deviluke jumped in fright as she was in unfamiliar surroundings. 'Where am I?!', she thought.
"Calm down. Your alright.", a voice said from beside her. She turns to see a boy, her age. He has sun kiss hair, with a deep tan skin. He had deep electric blue eyes that held so many layers and complexity, she could get lost inside them. He also had three whisker marks on each of his cheeks.
'That's so cute!', she inwardly squealed. 'And so ever sexy and... feral.', she thought, inwardly licking her lips. She also noticed he was very short for his age and skinny but she knew he would be a hot one in couple of years.
"So you have a name?", the boy asked. He was quite interested who this girl was and why she land in his bathroom. And why the bathroom.
"Momo. Momo Deviluke.", she said softly with a twinge of pain. She tried to pull herself up but the boy pushed her back down.
"Wait, you have a minor concussion. You need to rest.", the boy said softly.
Resisting at first but decides to lay back down, she looks at the boy. "What is your name?", Momo asked tiredly like she is about to pass out.
"Uzumaki. Uzumaki Naruto.", the boy said with a soft smile that causes her to blush.
"Naruto... That is an interesting name. Fishcake right?", she said in a teasing manner.
"It means Maelstrom...", he grumbled eliciting a light giggle from the girl. "So is Momo. Never heard a name like it before... Rest now, we'll talk more in the morning."
Nodding, she resting her head on the pillow. 'He couldn't be all bad if he is taking care of me, could he?', she thought before falling blissfully asleep.
End.
