Chapter 5: I am your….
Hokage Tower
Sarutobi Hiruzen has lived many years, finished many missions and gave out even more. He has seen many weird things happening, but never in his entire life has he seen a C-Rank mission turn to A-Rank! He looked at Team 7 after Kakashi finished his report with a small twitch. He coughed in his hand "Well, despite the circumstances, I congratulate you for finishing an A-Rank mission. Your pay will be added to your accounts. You have two days free of missions. Dismissed, except you Naruto." he said.
The others looked at Naruto weirdly, except Kakashi who was busy reading his book, but nonetheless left. Naruto simply sat in a chair "What do you want Hokage-jiji?" he said with a smirk at the Hokage's glare, as he took out a cigar. The Hokage sighed "I just wanted to know what you're going to do with the Raijin and that Aoi's bounty will go to your account." he said. Naruto closed his eyes "Thank you for the cash, I will use it until I find a better replacement. But there is more to this, I know there is." he said. Hiruzen nodded "I also wanted to talk to you about your position as the last of a Clan." he said causing Naruto to snort "What is there to talk about?
If this is about the CRA then it is fine-" "Marriage proposals have come by the dozens." Hiruzen said, causing Naruto to cough out his cigar, then look at him in surprise "Already? I thought they wouldn't start until after the Chunin Exams!" he said. "The Council sent the letters regarding the activation of the law. Even the clans in Konoha have prepared potential brides-" "Damn those lecherous civilians! And you let it occur?" he said,his eyes gaining a small gold tint "You know I had no choice! And I am not the one who gets famous in the Bingo Book!" he said tossing him the latest version "Page 910." he said. Naruto raised an eyebrow, then looked at the page with a raised eyebrow "The hell? Since when am I in the bingo book as an A-Rank ninja?" he wondered. "Since you beat this Momochi Zabuza." he got as a response.
Naruto sighed, calming down, as he placed the Bingo Book in his pouch. "Who are the potential… brides from Konoha?" he said, his eyes gaining a slight gleam. Hiruzen coughed his hand "Hiashi desires you to marry Hin-" "No. Too weak." he said, causing Hiruzen to raise an eyebrow "Naruto-kun the Hyuga are one of the most powerful Clans-" "And I have the power to destroy an army. Next." he said, leaving no room for argument on the matter. "Well, next the Inuzuka Clan suggests Inuzuka Hana. They say she will be a good Alpha Female." he said, Naruto thinking "She is strong and good looking, but Alpha Female? Hah." he said. "Next is Ino Yamanaka." "Oh I remember her." he said "Good looking, with potential. Add her and Hana to 'considering'." he said with a smirk "What else?" he said. "They also sent letters to Clans and Nations throughout the world." he said "We expect responds to come during the end of the Chunin Exams." he said, causing Naruto to nod "Speaking of the Exams, when you participate and become a Chunin, you will be allowed to sit in Council meetings." he replied. Naruto nodded "Thought so." he said. "By the way, what will you do with Zabuza?" he asked "I will put him under the protection of my clan." he merely said, as he took another cigar. "I see. Finally, I want you to know these Chunin exams will be visited by every nation for...obvious reasons." Naruto looked at him and nodded"Do you have free time?" he said, changing the conversation and causing him to nod with a smile "Thanks to your generosity" "Favors." "Yes…. I got more time now." he said.
Naruto nods, rising "Come grab my shoulder. It will only take a minute." he said.
Hiruzen raised an eyebrow, but nodded nonetheless. He touched Naruto's shoulder and they were gone in a Shunshin of lightning.
Clan Estates
Hiruzen looked with eyes ready to pop at what Naruto teleported them outside of.
He stood outside a large iron gate, made of intricate designs. It was placed on a tall and thick wall, made of what appeared to be Chakra granite, that looked impossible to lift. On top of the Gate, stood a Sigil he didn't know. It had the head of a wolf, with ten tails behind him, each tail holding a symbol. 5 for each element, 1 for Bukkai, 1 for Makai, 1 for Ningenkai, 1 for creation and 1 for destruction.
Besides the large acre of land it surrounded, almost twice the size of the Hyuga compound, nothing was normal. Besides, of course, the enormous estate that stood on the center. It was enormous, standing a hundred feet up in the sky, almost the size of the Hokage Tower. Made of Chakra Wood and Stone, it was designed more as a Castle than an estate. "W-What is this? W-When was this made? Why wasn't I informed?" he asked in his shock. Naruto grinned as he took out his drink "I ordered its construction after our meeting when you made me Genin. And I am certain you got a form regarding a new clan estate." he said. Hiruzen squinted his eyes, then widened them as he indeed signed such a paper, but didn't read it in his haste to read Icha Icha. He sighed "To have made something so big, with these materials, in so little time must have cost a fortune." he replied. "Billions of Ryo to be exact." A voice interrupted. They turned to see it was Amon "Namikaze-san asked for the house to be made to withstand any assault. It costed a fortune of billions, but we manage to make one of the most defensible buildings in the world." Naruto nodded "Thanks to Gato though, I am steadily getting back those Ryo. Can you give a rundown of the fort so Hokage-Sama can hear it?" Amon nodded and turned to the fort. "The walls surrounding the estate as well as the ones of the house are made of Chakra Granite. The Gate is made of High Quality Chakra Steel. Inside is a large area capable of housing a large town. The fort is 100 feet tall. It is made of Chakra Oak wood. It has 40 guest rooms, 11 family rooms, 29 bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room, a dining hall, a meeting room, an armory, a Library, 3 training rooms and a control room. There is also a large underground hall split into ten sectors, each as big as five rooms, left for Namikaze-san to model. Finally, below that lies a bunker made entirely of Chakra Cement, surrounded by a thick layer of Chakra Titanium. All in all, it is a fortress in Konoha." he said. Naruto turned to see the Hokage having a blank face. He swinged his arm to his face, getting no reaction. He sighed, calling the Anbu to take the broken Hokage. He then turned to Amon and tossed him an envelope "Inside lies a check for 1 million ryo. Distribute them to those who worked for this." he said, getting a nod and a smile from Amon. As he left, Naruto turned to the fort, cracking his knuckles. He made a hundred Kage Bunshin and said "Time for work.
Castle Takezo must be full of seals by nightfall." he said, with the clones nodding and rushing to work.
Castle Takezo
The sun's rays shone inside Naruto's new room. He slowly opened his eyes, rising slowly as he stretched his arms. He yawned, before looking outside, seeing the sunrise, then at his room. It was a room fit for a lord. The walls were made of polished Dark Oak wood, giving the room a feel of a cabin. He laid on a King-sized bed, made of White Iron, the sheets a pure white color. On the right, stood a large wardrobe made of the same Wood as the walls, while on the left laid a Wooden office.
As he rose, he changed into his clothes, then laid eyes to the opposite of the room.
There, layed an armor stand, without any armor, along with hooks on the wall for various weaponry. His eyes especially laid on the two empty sword holsters. With a sigh, he placed the Raijin on one of the holsters as he thought he should find a Demon or an Angel blade soon. He knew very well that the chances of finding another God Blade were one in a million, not to mention his body can't handle more than one God Blade until he reached Demi-God status. Right now, he needed 2 more years for that. He then turned to the Armor stand and went towards the table. He grabbed a pen and ink and wrote a letter. He nodded, then created a Kage Bunshin "Get this to Gato's council. Tell them the boss demands one to be made." The clone nodded and disappeared. He sighed and went to the Kitchen. He ate breakfast, as he thought of the seals. 'Let's see. I added seals to the walls, the gate and every inch of the Castle. The barrier seals are placed in the control room, along with the link to all the seals in the House. I placed there special High-Level seals, along with enough Chakra to make me fall asleep in 5 minutes. It should be enough to hold for a century or so, since the new seals reduce the Chakra needed for it to work. All I need now is to get those defense machines I ordered while the Clones worked.' he thought. He finished his breakfast and washed the dishes, then went to the Armory.
The Armory was a large room and it's purpose was like the name suggested. It stored Naruto's weapons. Three walls had hooks on them for weapons, while the other wall was filled with drawers. Inside the drawers laid scrolls filled with different weapons, provisions, rations, medical kits, poisons and anything combat related. The right wall was filled with different types of swords, from Kodachis and Wakizashi, to Nodachi and O-katanas. It even had some strange swords like a Claymore or a Rapier.
The left wall featured heavy weapons like battleaxes, spears, bo staffs, warhammers and even some Morning Stars. Finally, the wall behind him was filled with different types of ranged weaponry, from Demon and Windmill Shurikens to Longbows and Crossbows. On the center of the room, laid armor stands with armors appearing similar to those Anbu wore. He grabbed the weapons he needed, then went outside, while drinking his carbon drink. As he went outside, he made around a hundred Kage Bunshin and said "35 of you work on the new seals. Another 35 will work on creating clan houses on designated areas. The rest go grab the defensive machines and install them." he said, getting salutes. With a sigh he went out to Konoha.
Konoha Gate
Naruto waited at the Gate for around an hour, before he saw Zabuza and Haku walking towards Konoha. He approached Izumo and Kotetsu, the Gate Guards and showed them the papers. With a nod, they led those two in, albeit with narrowed eyes. He turned to Zabuza and Haku and smirked "Welcome to Konoha." Zabuza snorted "I have been here before Gaki, err Naruto-Sama." he said, scratching his head at the end.
Haku however, looked around in wonder. Naruto smiled and made a Kage Bunshin. "This clone will show you around, then he will help you go to the house. There, after you sort your things out, you may do as you wish. I have businesses to attend to." he said, causing them to nod as they went with the clone. Naruto turned and went to the village.
He hummed, as he looked around for anything to do. Shrugging, he went towards Ichiraku to get some Ramen. As he entered and sat on a stand, Ayame saw him, then turned to him with a smile "Good morning Naruto-kun!" she said. Naruto nodded with a smile "Good morning Ayame- Chan. I would like five bowls of beef Ramen." he said, causing her to nod "Coming right up." she then turned towards the back "Tou-san! Five beef for Naruto!" she said, getting a "Coming!" in response. She turned to him "How are you doing Naruto-kun? I heard you went on a mission?" He nodded "Yea. Nothing special though." he said as the first bowl was in front of him. She nodded, chatting with him as he ate, but eventually leaving him to attend to other customers. Naruto sighed blissfully but before he could finish the final bowl, an Anbu appeared .
"Namikaze-san, the Hokage has summoned you. He says it's urgent." The cat masked Anbu said. Naruto nodded "I will be there in a moment." he said as he ate quickly his last bowl as she nodded and disappeared. With a sigh, he paid and disappeared as well.
Hokage Tower
Naruto stood outside the Hokage's office, thinking what Hiruzen wanted. He could expect a few things, talk of his money, the castle or the Chunin Exams. But the scene he walked in, that he never expected. In the room stood the Hokage in his chair, his hands folded together and in front of him, on top of his chin. That wasn't the strange thing. The two people standing next to him where. The first was a woman that stood at 5'8 with long red hair and round violet eyes. She had a curvy figure that would make any man drool, with a bubblegum as and E-Cup breasts. She wore black Shinobi pants, red sandals and a red shirt with black mesh armor below. She also had a Ninjato on her back. The other person was a man at 6'1 with golden-blonde hair and lightning blue eyes. He wore blue Jounin Pants, a blue muscle shirt, blue sandals and a white trench coat with red flames licking the bottom. Naruto blinked, his eyes widening. "N-Naruto- kun… these are…" Hiruzen started but was interrupted. "Hello Naruto." said the man with a smile. "My name is Namikaze Minato. I am your Father."
