The next day Naruto woke up and noticed a note beside his bed.
Gaki,
I need you to meet me at noon. Bring all you stuff with you. You'll be moving in with the Hyuuga's.
Tsunade" Well that was quick." Naruto said
With that he started to pack all of his belongings that had been brought to Tsunade's home. He didn't have very much, just enough to pack two large duffle bags. He then took them and placed them beside the front door before going to get breakfast.
" That didn't take too long." He said
" What didn't take to long?" Gaara questioned
" Oh Hi Gaara. Me packing." Naruto responded fixing him some Ramen
" Why did you pack? Are you leaving again?" Gaara asked sitting down and eating an apple
" No I'm going to move in with the Hyuuga's it's closer to dad's compound and everyone's there already knows about the merger and dad." Naruto said
" Well then I think it's time for my siblings and I to return home." Gaara said
" So soon I was hoping you'd stay a while longer. We could spar some. You're about the only one that'll give me a good workout anymore." Naruto said
" WE ARE NOT LEAVING YET!" Temari said
" You just don't want to leave the Shika kid." Kankurou stated and smirked
" I'm not leaving until he answers my question." Temari said
" What question is that Temari?" Naruto asked
" She want to be his girlfriend, but the lazy guy refused to give her an answer." Kankurou said
" Um, Temari you know you'll be waiting a while on that one right." Naruto said, " I mean I grew up with the guy and it takes him a while to reply to any question given to him if it's not from Choji or Obaa-chan."
" Well I guess we could stay a little while longer. I'd like to spar with you Naruto and see you house." Gaara said
" Yeah!" Temari said and hugged her brother
" Right, we haven't seen this house of yours yet we can't leave until I see the place." Kankurou said
" Oh all right. I show it to you guy in the next couple of days, but right now I have to go to see Obaa-chan and move to my new home." Naruto said
Naruto grabbed his bags and transported to the Hokage's tower. In the tower, Hiashi, Hinata, Neji, Tsunade, and Jiraiya waited for him to arrive.
" He's late." Tsunade said
Flames then erupted in front of her." Sorry." Naruto said
" GAKI!" Tsunade screamed and threw a punch that Naruto just caught in his hand
" I know, I know, but the bags and everything. This is the last time." Naruto said
Everyone in the rooms were shocked Naruto had just stopped one of the Hokage's infamous punched that normally sent Jiraiya through the wall.
" WHAT?" Naruto asked
" You stopped it." Jiraiya said, " No one ever been able to stop one of her punches."
" Huh?" Naruto then looked down and saw Tsunade's fist in his hand.
" Naruto did you even know you had her hand?" Hiashi questioned
" No, I just felt something coming towards me and opted to stop it before it hit me." Naruto replied
" Sugoi!" Neji said
Tsunade finally cooled down and went back to her desk.
" Naruto I thought I told you to bring all your stuff." Tsunade said
" I did." Naruto replied
With that two of his tails came out from behind him and were holding his duffel bags.
" Where's the rest?" Neji questioned
"Neji that's all Naruto has." Jiraiya said, " He was able to bring everything of his with him when we went for training for those two and a half years."
" Oh, I'm sorry Naruto." Neji said embarrassed
" It's ok, my important stuff I keep with me, so no one would destroy it." Naruto said sadly
" I don't understand?" Neji said
" Neji, you understand that the villagers think he is the Kyubi." Hiashi said and Neji nodded, " They never acted kindly to him because the truth was never told. There is a lot of hate in this village towards him and people can do cruel thing when they don't understand."
" Naruto-kun, how many times did they mess up you apartment?" Hinata now questioned
" To be honest Hinata-chan I've lost count. It wasn't so bad until I graduated from the academy, then they started to increase." Naruto told her
" Why didn't you tell us?" came from outside
Walking into Tsunade's office was the rest of Team 7 with Kakashi.
" What were you guys going to do? No one was to know about me having Kyubi. Hell even I wasn't suppose to know, but I found out from Mizuki. I eventually just had to hide my important stuff everyday, so that if they did decide to come and trash my place I'd still have my precious things." Naruto said
" What's so important that you wouldn't care about the rest of the apartment?" Sasuke questioned
" Well this for one." Naruto said as he opened one of the duffle bags up and on top was a picture of Team 7 and Kakashi just after they had become Genin, " I might not have a lot of money or possessions, but I wouldn't give anything up for what I do have a lot of and that's friends."
" You know Naruto I can add to you wealth." Kakashi said as he handed the boy a picture
The picture mirrored the one Naruto was holding, but in it Kakashi was a little boy and the sensei looked a like Naruto.
" Kakashi is this?" Naruto asked
" Yep, that's Arashi. He was my sensei back when I was a Genin. I thought you might like to have it since you don't have any pictures of him." Kakashi said
There was then a poof and Naruto was in Kyubi form crying.
" Thank you Kakashi-sensei. I like it a lot." Naruto said crying
" Um, what just happened?" Sakura asked confused
" Naruto-kun it happened again." Hinata said
" Huh, what oh sorry." Naruto said claming down and transformed back
" Explain it to them Naruto, Hiashi is going to have to know sooner or later." Tsunade said
" Right, well if I get upset like just now I turn into the Kyubi form. I guess it's just when I get sad or depressed, but it happens." Naruto explained
" So it's happened before?" Sasuke questioned
" Just once, when I was at the Saigen compound I kind of got upset and transformed there." Naruto explained
" Why were you their Naruto? No one has lived there in years." Sasuke said
" Seventeen years to be precise." Kakashi said
" You mean." Sasuke said
" Yep, Arashi was a Saigen." Jiraiya answered
" Who are the Saigen's?" Sakura now questioned
" Sakura they are one of the originally four family's that started Konoha." Tsunade said
" So what Naruto family was powerful?" Sakura said
" No Haruno-san, Naruto's family was and is the most powerful family in all of Konoha." Hiashi said
" That reminds me Naruto here's the scroll back I borrowed from the library." Tsunade said and handed the large scroll to Naruto
" But you have to teach Sakura and Hinata-chan it." Naruto said
" I copied it down, so you can take the original back." Tsunade explained
" So when's the house warming party going to be?" Jiraiya questioned
" House warming party?" Naruto said
" You have to have one. If you going to be using the main house." Jiraiya said
" Oh, I don't know I guess in the next day or two before Gaara and his siblings return to Suna. I promised them they could come and see the house." Naruto said
" Well just tell me and I'll inform everyone." Tsunade said, " By the way what are you guys doing here?" looking at Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura
" We were wanting to know if Sasuke can go outside of the village now, to the training areas. He can't do his advanced stuff in the Uchiha compound. Kakashi was going to go with us to supervise." Sakura said
" Oh that's ok, though you could probably use the Saigen's outdoor training area too. That's is if Naruto lets you." Tsunade said
" Why not, thought let's wait for it to be used after the house warming party. I have something special that it has to be used for first." Naruto responded smiling
" What's that?" Hinata asked
" Hi.mi.tsu." Naruto said grinning
" Well I believe it's time to leave and take Naruto home." Hiashi said, " Naruto you need to use your Henge. Can you carry both bags?"
" Yes I'm fine. It was just easier with my tails." Naruto responded
He then engaged his Henge and followed the Hyuuga's to his new home. Upon arriving Naruto saw a small Hyuuga coming out of the compound towards Hiashi.
" Hanabi what are you doing back so early?" Hiashi questioned
" Dad I don't like the academy, I don't want to go there anymore." Hanabi said
She then noticed Naruto
" Who's he?" Hanabi question
" A new guest Uzumaki Naruto may I present my youngest daughter Hyuuga Hanabi." Hiashi said
" Ooh, he's the fox-boy right daddy." Hanabi asked
" Yeah that's right." Naruto said laughing
" But you don't look like a fox." Hanabi said skeptically
Seeing that they were at the gate of the Hyuuga compound Naruto decided it would be all right to show her.
" See." Naruto said as he released his Henge
" Ooh, fluffy." Hanabi said and grabbed one of Naruto's tails
" Ok, lets get inside." Hiashi said
It was just when the gates were shutting that a villager was passing by and saw foxtails moving inside the Hyuuga compounds. He moved to get a better look and saw they were attached to Naruto and there were Nine of them. Not only was the villager panicking, but also surprised the Hyuuga's were letting the demon into their compound.
" I must tell the others, the demon had captured the Hyuuga's." The man said and ran off
" So Hanabi what happened at the academy that you don't want to go back?" Naruto asked the girl whom he was now piggybacking
" I don't know." Hanabi said
" Yes you do I know what I can do to get you talking." Naruto said and transformed into his Kyubi form, " Up we go."
Naruto took two of his tails and place Hanabi on his back.
" Hold on this is my first time having someone ride me." Naruto said
Hanabi gripped onto his neck and they were gone. The others couldn't believe how fast Naruto was in the Kyubi form. He was gone and back in less than a minute.
" Again, Again." Hanabi said
" Later Hanabi-sama, we need to show Naruto-kun to his room." Neji said smiling at her antics and Hanabi ran off.
As the three walked Naruto to his room.
" Did she tell you." Hiashi said from in front of him
" Hai, she said that no one would play or talk to her. They are all afraid of her because she's a Hyuuga and the last two from the academy grew to be very strong." Naruto said looking at Hinata and Neji smiling, " I'll go with her tomorrow. I have some friends that are in her class. I'll talk to them and see what's up."
" Thank you Naruto." Hiashi said
" It's the least I can do for letting me stay here." Naruto said
" It would have been sooner if I had had my way." Hiashi explained, " Well here is you room. Neji 's room is there." Hiashi said pointing to the next-door down from Naruto's room, " and Hinata's is there." Pointing to the door in front of Naruto door, " Hanabi's is down by Neji's room and I'm at the end of the hallway. If you need to talk to me just knock."
" Ok." Naruto said
" Neji, Hinata will you leave us for a little while." Hiashi asked
" Yes father, Hai Hiashi-sama." They replied and went to their rooms
" Um, did I do something wrong already sir?" Naruto asked
" No I just thought I'd explain your room to you. You can go in now." Hiashi said and Naruto entered with him
The room was a traditional Japanese bedroom with 10 tatami mats and a Japanese futon bed. The closet had some clothes already in it and there was a chest over by the window that had the Saigen's crest on it.
" It's so big." Naruto said amazed at the size
" Not as big as the master bedroom in the Saigen house." Hiashi said, " I need to explain a few thing Naruto."
" Ok, I'll behave and not do anything bad while I'm here." Naruto said
" No my boy, I think you'll liven the place up a little bit. Your father always did when he was here. That's not what I'm talking about." Hiashi said
" Really then what?" Naruto asked
" I guess you noticed the clothes and the chest." Hiashi started
" Yes." Naruto said
" They are yours. Your father left them in my care until you were told about him. They are now yours. In the closet were some of his old clothes. I believe his coat is in there." Hiashi said as Naruto went through the closet of things that belonged to his father. The last piece in the closet was Arashi's white flame coat he was famous for wearing when he was the Yondaime. Naruto proceeded to put it on to see if it fit. I was a perfect fit, when Naruto had put it on Hiashi had gasped
" What? I shouldn't have it on should I?" Naruto said
" No Naruto you look like him." Hiashi said
" Huh?" Naruto was now confused
Hiashi stepped out of the room and called for Neji.
" Neji go tell the Hokage, Jiraiya, and Kakashi to come here immediately. It's important." Hiashi told him
" Am I in trouble again?" Naruto asked
" No I want them to seen something." Hiashi explained
" Oh, is it ok if I open the chest up now?" Naruto questioned leaving the coat on
" It's yours you can open it whenever you want." Hiashi told him
Naruto them proceeded to sit down and look inside the chest. Upon opening it he saw a note at the top and opened it up.
Dear Naruto,
My son, I'm sorry of the burden you have had to carry, but it was necessary to save our village. Hopefully they haven't treated you too bad. If you are reading this then you finally know that I, Arashi Saigen, the Yondaime, was your father. Oh how I wish I could've been with you to see you grow up, but I'm sure your destiny will outshine what I have done for this village. I have left you a number of things. If you haven't already find Ecchi-Gama or Jiraiya one of the Legendary Sannin the man knows his jutsus. Have him teach you his along with all of mine. There are special kunai's in the chest find Hatake Kakashi and ask him there uses. Other than that everything else was put in here by Hiashi. Take care my son and protect the village that we love.
Love, DadHiashi who had been standing at the door moved towards him.
" What is it Naruto?" Hiashi questioned noticing the boy shaking
Naruto handed the letter up to Hiashi and he read it smiling.
" He was a great man that knew his son would do great thing. He also gives me too much credit." Hiashi said
Naruto was now on the verge of tears after the letter his dad had left him. He loved him and he'd cherish the letter for all his life. Naruto then started going through the chest and found the kunai's his dad had told him about. There were unusual, they had three pointed edges with the middle one being the longest the handle had tags on them with different jutsu spells. Going through the rest of the chest he found some different scrolls reading some he figured they were jutsu's his father had made and were for family use only. At the bottom of the chest were a number of large books. Picking them up Naruto noticed they were heavy, but didn't look like books you got out of the library. When he opened them there was a picture of his dad with a younger looking Hiashi next to him.
" I remember that one. Hinata's mother Hana took it for us after we became Chuunin the same year." Hiashi said
Naruto started to flip through the books and look at all the pictures of his father, and friends. The second book was the same, but his father was in a tux and there was a woman beside of him that had some of his features.
" Ah, the wedding album. I wondered were that went." Hiashi said
" Is that my…" Naruto couldn't even say it
" Yes, that's your mother Raimei, Naruto." Hiashi said and moved away hearing Neji return
Naruto stared at the picture for a while his mother had the same color hair as his father and her eyes were brown. She wore the same fox smile as his father did. They looked so happy together. Naruto was so entranced at the photo he didn't even hear Hiashi taking to the Hokage and other.
" What's so important Hiashi? Has he already done something wrong?" Tsunade said
" No I put the things his father left him in his new room. He's been going through them all. He found his father's old coat. Look." Hiashi said and pointed to Naruto
Naruto at the moment was sitting on the floor with his back to the door. All anyone could see was his back, but from there they would of thought Arashi was back from the dead if Hiashi hadn't of told them it was Naruto.
" Naruto?" Jiraiya questioned
Naruto turned his head to look at them smiling.
" Oh Hi, you got here fast. What's going on?" Naruto said standing up
As he did this the three noticed what Hiashi had. He looked like Arashi double. If you took away the whisker marks on his face and the hanyou features he would be his father.
" Naruto have you looked in the mirror yet?" Tsunade questioned
" What?" Naruto said confused
" Naruto turn and look in the mirror." Kakashi told him
Naruto did what he was told and looked in the mirror. All he saw was himself.
" Ok, so it's me." Naruto said
" Baka, use your Henge." Jiraiya said
" But I'm inside?" Naruto said
" Humor me." Jiraiya said
With that Naruto used his Henge and now looked in the mirror. He saw his father.
" Dad?" Naruto questioned, but realized it was his reflection, " I don't understand." Turning into his Kyubi form Tsunade came up and hugged the crying boy.
" You are his legacy Naruto. Can't you see that? You look so much alike, no one and I mean no one in this village can argue you aren't his son if they see you like this." Tsunade explained to the boy
Hinata hearing the commotion outside her door opened it to see the Hokage, Jiraiya and Kakashi in Naruto room with her father. Afraid something had happened she walked in. She saw Tsunade trying to comfort Naruto who had transformed again, but it wasn't working.
" Father?" Hinata questioned
" He has had so little in life Hinata having all this just dropped into his lap has surprised him, but made him happier than he has ever been." Hiashi said, " Go talk to him."
Hinata nodded and headed over to where Tsunade and Naruto were. Hinata touched Tsunade's shoulder and she moved.
" Naruto-kun." Hinata said
" Hinata-chan." Naruto said and moved for her to hold him
He cried for a couple more minutes and started to calm down. Once calm he turned back into his Hanyou form, but was asleep. Jiraiya came over and picked the boy up and put him onto his new bed. It was then Hinata noticed Naruto coat.
" Father?" Hinata questioned again
" Yes, it's the Yondaime's coat, but that's not why they are here. Hinata look at this picture." Hiashi said and handed Hinata a picture of Arashi in the Yondaime coat.
" Naruto-kun?" Hinata questioned, " He's so serious in the photo. It's unlike him."
" That's not Naruto Hinata that's Naruto's father Arashi, just after Saratobi made him the Yondaime." Tsunade explained
" But Naruto-kun…" Hinata said
" Yes, the resemblance is uncanny isn't it?" Kakashi said
" Let leave and let him rest. I'll inform you three when he wakes up. I think he's going to be needing answers and I only know so much." Hiashi said
" Right, just send Neji again and we'll be here as quick as we can." Tsunade said
With that the three left. Hiashi was also leaving.
" Come on Hinata he just needs some rest. He'll be alright alone." Hiashi said
" Please let me stay with him father. For right now." Hinata said
" Alright, come and get me when he wakes up. I'll be in the study." Hiashi said and left
Hinata just sat beside Naruto and moved a couple strands of his hair away from his face.
