With that the group followed the path Iruka took to Naruto's apartment. As they got further into the area some of the group was surprised at the area Naruto lived in. Most of the houses were either run down or condemned. Also there were a number of not too friendly looking people walking about.
" Are we going the right way?" Choji asked
" Hai, Naruto-nii-san's apartment is over this way." Konohamaru said not bothered by what he was seeing
As they got to the door Iruka exited and was shaking his head frowning.
" Girls I want you to stay out with the Konohamaru Corps. Boy I want you to come inside." Iruka said
" Demo Iruka-sensei…" Konohamaru started to protest
" IIE! YOU WILL STAY OUT HERE WITH THE GIRLS IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?" Iruka shouted at them sternly
Everyone was surprised the teacher got mad and shouted, but this caused the three kids to nod quickly not wanting for further anger their teacher. Iruka sighed and ran his hand through his hair.
" Iruka-sensei what's going on?" Sakura said worried at his reaction
Iruka knelt down so he was face to face with Konohamaru and the others, " Listen I'm sorry I yelled at you, but I don't want you going in there. Naruto's fine he has got a new house now. In a little bit Kakashi-sensei and I will take all of you to see him alright."
The three nodded at his words.
" Demo Iruka-sensei, Naruto?" Sakura said worried
" Sakura." Iruka sighed, " I need for you to tell them Naruto's story everything and about what they might see ok."
" But the law?" Ino asked
" Tsunade will make and exception he's Sarutobi's grandson, Musuko to Asuma and they are all friend of Naruto. I'm sure Naruto would want him to know." Iruka said he turned and opened to door back up, "Boys come on."
With that Iruka walked into Naruto's apartment and was followed by the boys. Kakashi decided to stay out with the girls to handle any questions the three would have over what was about to be told to them.
" What's he talking about? Nii-san has a story why?" Konohamaru asked
All the girls sighed, " Who's going to tell them?" Tenten asked looking around
" Forehead-girl he's your teammate and you've known about it the longest tell them." Ino said
Sakura nodded, " Alright listen you three because I'm only going to tell you once about Naruto's life…" Sakura said
She went on to explain to the three about the Kyuubi attack and how the Yondaime sealed the demon into a boy, which happened to be Naruto.
" But the Kyuubi isn't Nii-chan." Konohamaru said protesting the information they were being told
" Right Konohamaru-kun, Naruto-kun isn't Kyuubi they are two separate beings." Hinata said
" But how?" Moegi asked confused at this
" Think of it this way. Naruto is a jailer for the Kyuubi who is the prisoner. He makes sure the prisoner stays in his cell not to hurt other." Sakura tired to explain it easily to the three
They nodded at this explanation. The girls were glad they understood that Naruto wasn't Kyuubi. They then told them about Akatsuki and the battle.
" Once we had killed them all Naruto was exhausted, but Orochimaru showed up." Sakura said
" IIE!" Konohamaru shouted
" He kidnapped Naruto before any of us could react." Sakura said sadly trying to hold back her tears
" He…he killed my Ojii-san and now take he takes Nii-san away." Konohamaru said angrily
" Konohamaru we were able to get Naruto back, but Orochimaru he did something to him. Hokage-sama, Jiraiya-sama and the others are going to try to figure out how to fix Naruto, even Kyuubi is helping, but for now he can't be seen by anyone in Konoha except for us." Hinata said
" Why?" Udon asked
" That can't be told you'll see when we go visit him in a little bit." Kakashi now interrupted
The three nodded understanding this.
While the Konohamaru Corps were being told Naruto's story the boys with Iruka were looking at what was left of Naruto's room. Which wasn't very much now. The bed, or what was left of it, was ripped in half with the spring and insides on the bed and floor. The object used to cut it open, a machete, was still in the bed. There was writing all over the walls of Monster, Demon, and Die. All of the furniture had been completely destroyed, either cut in two or broken by brut force. The food that had been in the fridge was out on the floor and had been there a number of days from the smell it was giving off. If it hadn't been that the windows were broken someone would have had to open one for fresh air. The plants Naruto kept had been pulled out of the pot and soil was all over the floor. The clothes and towels were gone the vandal had taken and ripped them all to shreds.
" What the hell happened?" Kiba asked in shock
The room was torn to pieces.
" Villagers." Shikamaru said disgusted at what people would do to Naruto
" How do you know it wasn't ninjas?" Lee asked
" He's right ninjas would have used jutsu on Naruto stuff this is just trash and destroy anyone can do that." Sasuke said looking around his eyes flashing red everyone once and a while
" So what can we do?" Choji asked upset at the scene
" Nothing." Iruka said sadly and the boys looked at him, " We don't know who they were, so we can't do anything."
" Then why did you bring us in here?" Shino asked
Iruka walked over to one of the small plants, grabbed it and placed it back in its pot.
" Naruto's not going to be living here anymore anyway so this doesn't matter. I'm just glad he didn't see this. I need for you to go through the rooms and salvage what you can. There are old ramen boxes by the trash use those and once those are filled used the trash bags that are under the sink." Iruka said
The boys moved to the objects Iruka had told them to get and they started going through things to see if they weren't totally destroyed. Iruka noticed a number of frames on the floor. He walked over and picked them up. There staring up at him was Naruto when he first became a Genin with Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashi. Iruka smiled at the picture. The frame and glass had been broken, but the picture hadn't been damaged. He opened the frames back and pulled out the picture, Sasuke who was also working on some of the other pictures, had a box on what use to be Naruto's bed Iruka placed the picture in with the rest. The boys went around the rooms and gathered what they could, which only filled one box.
" Iruka-sensei this is all we could find that was still ok." Neji said upset they couldn't find more
Iruka smiled, " One good thing about them being villager is they can't find all of Naruto's stuff."
With that Iruka tugged on what seemed to be a wall, but it instantly fell to the ground to reveal it was a piece of fabric. Behind the fabric was a door, which Iruka opened.
" I want you to clear this room out, leave nothing in there. Once that's clean we'll go see Naruto." Iruka said and walked away
The boys shocked they hadn't even see the hidden door. They nodded and entered the room and became even more shocked at what was in there. There were scrolls, upon scrolls, and books lining the walls, Shurikens and Kunais were lined up on a number of shelves. There was even a couple of practice dummy one that looked like Kakashi was sitting on the floor dust now gathering on it and hanging up was one that looked like Orochimaru and a target with shurikens and kunais embedded in it. The boys got to work putting all the stuff into the boxes and in ten minutes there were done it took five boxes and three bags to get everything out of the apartment. With that the group exited and Iruka shut the door and they headed downstairs.
" Good now that that's done well head to see Naruto." Iruka said satisfied with their salvage job
" Hey Iruka, do you remember where it is?" Kakashi asked lazily
" Hai, why?" Iruka asked with a raised eyebrow
" I'm going over to Tsunade-sama and report what happened." Kakashi said
" Hai, do that I can take care of them." Iruka said and in a instant Kakashi had disappeared in a cloud of smoke
Back in Tsunade's office the Anbu squad had just arrived.
" Hokage-sama you wished to speak to us?" the Anbu Captain in a Dog mask asked her
" Hai and you can relax and take off your masks in here." Tsunade said smiling
The group noticed the door and windows were shut and nodded each removed their masks.
" Yamato I need to ask you something." Tsunade said to the Anbu captain
The group was now following Iruka to Naruto's new house, which they found out was in the middle of Konoha's forest, literally. As they were traveling Kiba noticed the backpack Hinata was carrying.
" Hinata, what's with the backpack?" Kiba asked
" It's for a extended mission Hokage-sama asked me to do." Hinata said blushing
" Nani? The Hokage gave you an extended mission without us?" Kiba said loudly
Iruka smiled hearing the boy's words.
Hinata nodded shyly, " Hinata what's the mission?" Shino asked
" To um..." Hinata started but most of her words were too soft for the boys to hear
" What was that Hinata I didn't hear what you said?" Kiba asked confused why she became quiet
From the way she was acting Shino had now figured out the mission somehow involved Naruto.
" I'm to stay with Naruto-kun until they change him back." Hinata said a little louder, but still to soft for Kiba to hear
" Huh?" Kiba asked
The group had finally dropped to the clearing when Hinata shouted.
" I'M TO LIVE WITH NARUTO-KUN!" she then quickly covered her mouth
Everyone was shocked that the girl had just yelled and even more so by the mission she had been given. Hinata turned blood red one for yelling and two saying it so loudly that everyone could hear her. But this was cut short when Sakura moved over to the three children and looked at them.
" You remember what I told you right?" Sakura asked and the three nodded, " Good now remember whatever he looks like he's still Naruto and were going to find a way to change him back."
The three nodded again still unsure about what they were talking about. Suddenly a voice came from the second story.
" Huh? I heard my name?" a voice questioned
The group looked up to see Naruto's head poking out of the house. He smiled when he saw them.
" MINA!" Naruto shouted and then was gone from the window
The group could hear running through the house and then silence.
" ERO-SENNIN! WHO SAID YOU COULD WRITE YOUR SUKEBEI WORK IN MY HOUSE?" Naruto shouted
" BAKA, BAKA, BAKA! IT'S NOT SUKEBEI THEY ARE WORKS OF ART." Jiraiya shouted back
" TO YOU, KAKASHI-SENSEI, AND THE CLOSET SUKEBEI AND THAT'S IT. TO THE REST OF US THAT STUFF IS DISGUSTING." Naruto shouted
" JUST YOU WAIT IN A COUPLE OF YEARS YOU'LL HAVE MY WHOLE COLLECTION." Jiraiya said proudly
" I WILL NEVER, NEVER OWN ONE OF YOUR NASTY BOOKS ERO-SENNIN. NOW MOVE THIS STUFF AND LET ME BY MY FRIENDS ARE HERE." Naruto said
" FINALLY MAYBE I CAN GO DO RESEARCH NOW." Jiraiya said
" YOU'LL BE SORRY IF OBAA-CHAN CATCHES YOU." Naruto said yelling back inside as he walked out the door
Naruto walked out and everyone noticed that he had changed his outfit. They also noticed he had a mask attached to his side that was a Kitsune. The three children's eyes widened in shock at how Naruto looked. Konohamaru looked at the others. As Naruto walked up to them he didn't see them.
" Konohamaru." Moegi said worry lacing her soft voice
" She said he's still the same and they're going to help him." Konohamaru said his hands fisted and shaking with anger over what the man had done to his older brother.
As he reached the groups smiling he felt a number of things latch onto him. As he looked down he saw three goggle wearing kids on him. He then looked at Iruka his eyes narrowing.
" Why did you bring them?" Naruto asked upset they were there
" They were looking for you and well your apartment it…" Iruka stopped not sure how to tell him
" They trashed it again huh?" Naruto said looking up in the air
" Again?" Sasuke said shocked
Naruto nodded and he rubbed Konohamaru's head the boy looked up at him with tears in his eyes.
" Nii-san." Konohamaru said crying
Naruto bent down to face the three kids. He then smiled at them and raised one of his clawed fingers.
" I'm alright a little messed up by the dead Hebi, but Obaa-chan is going to fix me up and I'll be back to normal in no time." Naruto said trying to calm the three down, " But listen you can't tell anyone about this not your friends or your parents got it."
The three nodded, " I can't even tell my Otousan?" Konohamaru asked worried
" Iie, you can tell him you know. He's seen what the Hebi did to me already." Naruto said
He got up and looked at the other still smiling, " So I take it that's what's left?" and Iruka nodded, " Alright come on in guys you can have a look around at what Otousan left me. The whole place it totally awesome with trap door and hidden compartments and everything."
As Naruto talked he started walking back to his house.
The group was shocked at how Naruto had just acted. Jiraiya who had seen the whole thing was leaning against one of the porch's posts smiling at Naruto and three blurs that passed him into the house.
" What was that?" Ino asked
" He did it to keep them calm." Jiraiya said walking up to them
The group looked at him shocked Naruto would think of that.
" Even if he doesn't seem like it he'll put others before his own welfare. " Jiraiya said Gaki when will you show them how you truly feel about this?
With that he walked into the forest and disappeared.
Back in Tsunade's office she was still talking to Yamato.
" Naruto has a problem so to speak." Tsunade said
All the Anbu eye widened, " Kyuubi?" Yamato asked concerned
" Iie, Orochimaru." Tsunade said sadly
" Nani?" they responded in shock
" After the battle with Akatsuki, Orochimaru kidnapped Naruto. He tried to use the Zinrui no Kesu on him but the people that copied it mixed the last two hand seals up with another jutsu and well…" Tsunade said as she got the crystal ball out Sarutobi would always used to look at what was going on in Konoha.
The image in the ball appeared of Naruto smiling standing into his new home with the Konohamaru Corps running in and out of the rooms. The Anbu all stood there shocked at his appearance.
" What the hell are those three doing there?" Tsunade asked shocked
It was then Kakashi appeared, " Tsunade-sama we have a little bit of a problem."
" I wouldn't happen to involve Konohamaru and his friends would it?" Tsunade asked annoyed
Kakashi saw the crystal ball the smiled at the children running around Naruto's house. He smiled and scratched the back of his head.
" We'll sort of." Kakashi finally said
As the group finally entered Naruto's home they noticed it was actually rather large. Konohamaru and his friends were running into each room looking at all the stuff that was there. Naruto had his back to the others and was laughing at what the three were doing.
" Naruto?" Sakura said
Naruto turned to look at them smiling, " Take your shoes off and come in. I'll show you around."
The group did what he said and they all gathered in a rather large living room. Naruto was standing in front of them trying to get Konohamaru and the others to come in to the living room too.
" Come on guys I need you in here." Naruto told the three
" Demo Nii-san there still so much more to see." Konohamaru said excitedly
Naruto smiled and chuckled, " Hai, I know and we can all see it together now come in here."
But the three continued to run around to each room, Naruto looked at the others raised a finger and disappeared. In an instant a yellow streak was all that was left of him. The group was shocked at this and so was Iruka. They followed the streak as each child disappeared and then reappeared in a pile in front of the group that was waiting in the living room.
" Nii-san." Konohamaru wined
Naruto was now standing where he has just left from laughing at the pile of children he had created, " I told you to come on." He turned around and put his arms into the air and smiled happily, " ALL RIGHT NOW TO SHOW YOU OTOUSAN'S HOUSE!"
" Otouto." Sasuke said and Naruto turned to look at them questioningly, " Are we ever going to find out who your Otousan is?" Sasuke continued annoyed
Instead of answering Sasuke's question Naruto smiled and took the mask off of his side and spun it on one of his fingers and it stopped facing them. He smiled and placed it on his face. He raised his finger to gather everyone attention.
" Did you know the Kitsune Anbu is the highest ranking Anbu in the entire squad?" Naruto asked
" Naruto, what are you talking about the Inu is." Neji corrected him
" Now it's the Inu." Iruka said and the group looked at him, " Before the Kyuubi attack the Kitsune was the highest level in the Anbu."
" But why doesn't anyone…" Tenten started to ask, but was interrupted by Naruto
" Kyuubi…" Naruto said and the group looked at him, " When Kyuubi attacked and the Kitsune Anbu sacrificed himself to save the village. After that no one would wear it anymore, so they started having the Inu be the highest."
" But then that means…" Choji said as the group looked at the mask
" That my Otousan was the last Kitsune Anbu, this is his mask after all." Naruto said smiling and removed the mask
" But that still doesn't tell us who your Otousan is." Ino said
" Yes it does." Naruto said smiling and looking at Iruka, " Granted I was the worst about paying attention is class during our Academy days, but out of anything Iruka-sensei told there was one thing that would always have my up most attention. That was anything about Yondaime." Naruto said
" Your point is?" Shikamaru not able to figure out where Naruto was going with this
" Impatient aren't we?" Naruto asked smiling
" Iruka-sensei since they don't seem to remember all the information you told us about the Yondaime, how about a refresher class?" Naruto asked smiling
Iruka looked at the other to see if they object. Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon were already sitting in front of the man wanting to hear the information Naruto was talking about. The others seeing that Naruto wasn't going to tell them sat down in seats or on the floor for their former teacher to explain.
Back in Tsunade's Office Kakashi was standing beside his former colleges.
" Kakashi this better be good and explain why the Konohamaru Corps is there." Tsunade said annoyed the three children had found out
Kakashi nodded, "You know it would be if I interrupted your meeting with the Anbu." Tsunade nodded at this.
" Since you have the crystal ball out why don't you have a look at Naruto's old apartment?" Kakashi said turning serious
Tsunade looked at the man questioningly, but did as he asked. When the ball showed her Naruto's apartment she though it hadn't done what she had wanted. What she saw wasn't an apartment but a destruction zone. The group all gasped at what they saw the words on the wall the destruction of what use to be the boy's bed, furniture, and clothes. They couldn't believe it; even some of the Anbu were speechless at the sight. She looked at Kakashi.
" This can't be right." Tsunade said shocked
" I'm afraid it is. Though this is my first time seeing it too. Iruka is actually the one that first went in." Kakashi said sadly at what they all were seeing
The Anbu were still looking into the ball too shocked at the mess that once uses to be Naruto's apartment.
" Do you know who?" Sai asked angrily
" Iruka said it had to have been villagers. They didn't even see the room Naruto had hidden behind an illusion cloth." Kakashi said
Tsunade was quaking with rage over what had been done, " How much more does Otouto have to go through for them to stop this madness?"
They all were silent for a number of minutes upset at what their own villagers would do to one of their own. Tsunade sighed breaking the silence.
" Yamato the reason I asked you all here is because recently I told Naruto who is Otousan was. He found one of his possessions and requested something." Tsunade said and Yamato nodded, " You see with the mixed up jutsu Orochimaru performed the boy can't do Henge to hide his appearance, so he happened upon his Otousan's old Anbu mask and wanted to know if he could wear it when he came into the village, so the villagers wouldn't see his true form." Tsunade said
" I don't see the problem in that, but why are you asking me. You know I would approve of this." Yamato said confused
" Because his Otousan was the last Kitsune Anbu." Tsunade said now smiling
All the Anbu gasped at this information and Kakashi stood there smiling under his mask.
" He's Kazama-sama's Musuko?" the Hawk Anbu asked
Tsunade nodded, " Hokage-sama will you give me a moment and I will return." Yamato said and disappeared
A couple of minutes later he reappeared carrying a package.
" Yamato?" Tsunade questioned looking at the package
" Each Anbu captain has taken care of this ever since the Kitsune Anbu left us. I would like you to return it to his family." Yamato said smiling
Tsunade and Kakashi looked at the package that was wrapped in brown paper shocked. They knew what was in it and were surprised the Anbu had kept it all these years.
" Are you sure? Is it ok for him to wear this too?" Tsunade asked
Yamato nodded, " Hai, it doesn't have his Otousan's rank on it, so it will be alright of him to wear it."
" Why don't you give it to him. I'm sure he'd be happy to see you all." Tsunade said smiling at them
" Well…" Yamato said hesitant to go visit the boy
" Common SEMPAI we haven't seen him in forever, ONEGAI!" Tobaki a female with the Hawk mask asked
The other looked at him pleading to go see the boy and Yamato sighed, " I guess I'm outnumbered on this one. All right we'll go see the boy with Hokage-sama and after that we're heading to his apartment to see if we can figure out who trashed it." Yamato ended serious
The others nodded that they understood and wanted to do the same thing.
The group now sat waiting for Iruka to begin explaining the story they had been told in class.
" Now as I said in the classroom and until the law is changed the Kyuubi was killed by the Yondaime using a Forbidden Jutsu that killed him. After this I'd always mentioned what the Yondaime did to become our Hokage. First off his actual name is Kazama Arashi and his Jounin sensei was one by the name of Jiraiya." Iruka said it was at this point he was interrupted
" Wait you're telling us the sukebei that is Naruto's sensei now was the Yondiame's sensei?" Ino asked
Iruka nodded, " Right, all the Sannin are about 50 years old…"
" Just don't tell Obaa-chan that." Naruto said butting in
" Iruka said angrily and Naruto smiled at him widely, " Jiraiya taught the boy for most of his life until he became Jounin." Iruka continued
" What about his teammates?" Lee asked
" Sadly both were killed a little after they were made Chuunin." Iruka said sadly
The others got upset at this too.
" Once he because Chuunin Arashi-sama took on Genin himself." Iruka said
" Who?" Choji asked
" Well the girl I don't know her last name, but we just called her Rin, the other two…" Iruka smiled at Naruto and then looked at Sasuke
Sasuke looked at the man puzzled by his pause and looking between the two.
" Were a Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito." Iruka said
Sasuke and Sakura's eyes widened at the new
" KAKASHI-SENSEI!" the two shouted
" Yo!" Kakashi appeared at the shout
The group looked back to see Kakashi with Tsunade and the Anbu squad behind her. The teens not knowing the Anbu liked Naruto ran in front of him to protect him. Sakura recognizing Yamato though smiled and so did Naruto. Naruto walked in front of the group a number pulling on him not to go. He walked up to Yamato and smiled.
" Hey Yamato…" Naruto then tilted to the side and saw his other friend, " Sai what's going on?"
The rest of the group was shocked the boy knew the people in the Anbu squad. Yamato and Sai smiled at the boy.
" Not much Naruto. How have you been doing?" Yamato asked
" Oh I could be better you know Hebi kidnapping you using a mixed up jutsu that make you look like a bakemono and put your emotions on the fritz other than that I'm good." Naruto said smiling
"OTOUTO!" Tsunade said shocked
" Nani?" Naruto asked wondering what he had done wrong
" You don't seem to be having a problem with your emotions now." Sai said
" Familiar surrounding, people I know. That helps." Naruto said smiling
" Is there anything in particular that does even better?" Yamato asked slyly
Naruto not hearing the tone in he questions answered honestly, " Hinata-chan."
The group looked at the Hyuuga Heiress that had turned three shades of red and about to pass out from the boy's answer. Yamato concealed a laugh that the boy couldn't see the girl liked him. Tsunade in the mean time had to hold onto a chair to keep from bursting out laughing at the boy naivety.
" What are you guys doing here?" Naruto questioned
" I asked them about the mask." Tsunade said now having compose herself
" And?" Naruto asked
" It's alright for us. You probably could be Anbu in the next year if you practice hard enough." Yamato said
" Next year try next month." Shikamaru said casually
" Oh and why is that?" Sai asked intrigued by this
" He took on six Oto-nin's by himself and only left one alive for questioning." Shikamaru answered
The group looked at the boy amazed at his accomplishment, but instead of beaming with pride he had his head hung and sadness could be seen on his face.
" Naruto it's alright." Yamato said placing a hand on his shoulder
Naruto then looked up and smiled, though the Anbu could see it was a fake. He then looked at Kakashi.
" So you want to tell them?" Naruto asked
" What that Arashi-sama was my sensei? Why Iruka knows what he's talking about." Kakashi said smiling
" So it's true?" Sakura asked
Kakashi nodded at this, " And you had a teammate that was an Uchiha?" Sasuke questioned
Again Kakashi nodded, " AND YOU DIDN'T TELL US WHY?" the two shouted together
Naruto put his hands to his ears because of this.
" Didn't seem important at the time." Kakashi said casually
The two screamed in frustration, which caused Naruto to cover his ears even more and wince in pain.
" Naruto?" Sai asked concerned for his friend
Naruto looked at him, " Too loud." Naruto said pain laced in his voice
The others seeing this tried to get the two to quiet down. Ino eventually elbowed Sakura in the side.
" ITAI INO-PIG WHY DID YOU…" Sakura started but was stopped when Ino pointed at Naruto, who had tears forming at the corner of his eyes from the noise
Sasuke, who was still shouting at smiling Kakashi, now was grabbed from behind and his mouth covered by Sakura as she turned him to look at Naruto. Sasuke eyes widened at the boy state of distress. Sasuke instantly slaked in Sakura's arms and she released his mouth and he walked up to the boy. Naruto was now crouched in the ground and Sasuke bent down and sat on the balls of his feet. He placed a hand on his shoulder only to have the boy flinch at the contact and looked at him fearfully.
" It's ok Naruto." Sasuke said calmly, but Naruto remained on edge
Sasuke then looked at Hinata and she came over to Naruto she wrapped her arm around one of his and pulled it away from his ears.
" Naruto-kun?" Hinata said softly
As if he had been in a daze Naruto looked at her and then smiled, " Are they done now?" Naruto asked pleadingly
Hinata giggle and nodded, " Good."
With a that the two stood up and Naruto looked over at Iruka. They all were looking a the boy with worry but he didn't see this he wanted Iruka to finish the story.
" Iruka-sensei you stopped?" Naruto wined
The others were shocked he could change directions so quickly. Iruka though worried smiled at him.
" As I was saying Arashi-sama's Genin team consisted of Rin, Uchiha Obito, and Hatake Kakashi. They were with him when the Great War started with Iwa. Unfortunately a couple weeks before the end of the war Arashi-sama lost one of his Genin." Iruka said
Kakashi sighed and Iruka looked at him the man nodded since he was the only one that knew this information, " A couple weeks before the war ended we lost Obito he died while saving Rin and I from a jutsu created rock slide. Before he died he gave me his Sharigan since earlier my eye had been cut by a kunai and was already useless. That Sasuke is why I have only one Sharigan." Kakashi said
It was then Jiraiya walked back in and stood next to Tsunade and smiled at what he was hearing
" After that…" Iruka stared back, " Because of his exploits in the Great War Arashi-sama was asked to become the next Hokage, the Yondaime. This is also a little bit before Orochimaru defected from us. You see he thought the Sandaime would chose him for he was his best student." Iruka said
" Baka couldn't believe out sensei would overlook him for a man who was less experienced, but twice as good. Of course that might have been because he was my student." Jiraiya said smiling
This resulted in him being hit on the head, Naruto laughed at this.
" At least he didn't turn out to be a sukebei like you." Tsunade said annoyed
" But that still doesn't explain about the Kitsune Anbu mask." Shino said
" As we said the mask goes to the most powerful Anbu in the squad." Iruka said
" Yeah and?" Kiba said
" Well who's in charge of the Anbu?" Sai asked
" The Inu Anbu is." Tenten said
" Iie, I give my squad order, but there is someone higher up than me." Yamato said
The group looked at him questioningly, but Shikamaru was there wide-eyed with shock.
" HE CAN'T BE!" Shikamaru shouted
Tsunade smiled at the his realization, " Shikamaru what?" Ino asked
" Ok who give the Anbu, hell any ninja in the village order on what to do?" Shikamaru asked
" The Hokage duh?" Kiba said
" Right, so if the Inu Anbu isn't the highest up then who is?" Shikamaru then asked
The group then stared at Tsunade as she grinned and nodded.
" NAAAANIIIII!" the group shouted
Naruto this time was prepared and had covered his ears ahead of time, but was smiling from ear to ear.
" There is no way the Yondaime is the dope's Otousan." Sasuke said point at Naruto
" And why not?" Naruto asked angrily crossing his arms over his chest
Sasuke smirked, " Cause you're not smart enough to be his Musuko."
Naruto growled at him, " TEME!" and jumped at him and took the boy down to the ground.
Everyone watched the two started rolling and shouting at each other. Sakura sighed and rolled her eyes and waked over to the two hitting them both on the head. They stopped and nursed the wounds from the girl.
" But Sakura-chan he…" Naruto wined
" I know, but you're going to ruin your house." Sakura explained
The group looked at Tsunade and Jiraiya, " Is it really true? Was the Yondaime Naruto's Otousan?" Neji asked
" Hai, the Yondaime or Kazama Arashi was Naruto's Otousan's. It's also the reason there was no Kitsune Anbu after Arashi because Sarutobi believed he was too old to help out in their mission and I am too busy." Tsunade explained
" Then how did the Yondaime?" Choji asked
" He used he famous Shushin no Jutsu to get everything done quickly to help the Anbu out when needed." Jiraiya explained
" But listen all of you, until we can fix Otouto and tell the village you need to keep this information to yourselves." Tsunade said
The group nodded at her order. It was then that Yamato threw Naruto the brown package; Naruto caught it and looked down at it and then at Yamato questioningly.
" It was your Otousan's we've been keeping it safe since we though he had no family." Yamato said
Naruto using his claws shredded the paper careful not to tear what was inside. The Hawk Anbu came up to Naruto and smiled. He looked back at her smiling.
" Tobaki what is this?" Naruto questioned the Anbu looking at the white cloth
Instead of answering his questioned she grabbed his by his wrist and started to drag him upstairs, " Hinata will you come with me?" Tobaki asked the girl as she passed her
Naruto had a confused look on his face as he was being dragged up the steps and was followed by an equaled confused Hinata, " I'll be back in a sec. Yamato-sempai." Tobaki sang from the stairs
" Tobaki don't be too long." Sai said annoyed
" Hai." The girls voice chimed form upstairs
" Were is she taking Naruto?" Ino questioned
" And why did Hinata-sama have to go too?" Neji added
Yamato smiled, " Don't worry Tobaki is a bundle of energy much like Naruto. They get along very well she's like a Nee-san to him. She's just going to fix him up." Yamato said smiling
" Fix him up?" Sakura questioned
" Just wait." Sai said smiling
The group nodded it was silent for a long while, but it was broken with Naruto voice, "NO WAY! OH MY GO THIS IS SO COOL AND I CAN SERIOUSLY WEAR THIS AND IT'S ALL RIGHT? YES!"
The kids all looked at the adults, who were smiling, though Iruka and Jiraiya were questioning what was going on too. Suddenly Tobaki came running down the steps followed by Hinata, who was blushing madly but walked calmly.
" So where is he?" Sasuke asked
" Behind you." A person said his voice filled with laughter
The group turned to where the Anbu were to only to see a new Anbu standing with them. The Anbu was in a white hooded cloak, but unlike the normal Anbu cloaks this one had flames on the bottom of the cloak and on the sleeves. The sleeves were extremely long and stopped at the persons mid-calf. The hood was unusual too in that it had two holes, where the ears of the mask the Anbu was wearing were poking through. The jacket fit the person perfectly and showed off every muscle in their body, but you could also tell it was loose enough that it would be flexible in battle. The mask the Anbu was wearing had crimson stripes on it with two flames like strips on the cheeks, one on the chin, and one coming between the ears. All end at a point and gave the observer they were staring at a fox themselves. Everyone looked at the new person in shock the teens at how strong the Anbu looked and the adults at how much the person resembled his father, even if you couldn't see any of his features.
" They still had it?" Jiraiya questioned Tsunade who nodded, " I'll be damn."
" Ok who's the cute Anbu?" Ino asked hearts in her eyes
The person chuckled, " Why Ino I didn't think you though of me in that way." The Anbu said
With that he reached up and took the mask off and a smiling face greeted them.
" NO WAY!" they said
Of course it was Naruto grinning like a madman.
" Isn't this so cool and it was Otousan's too!" Naruto said excitedly
The teens just stood there shocked at how strong he looked in the outfit. Naruto then turned to Yamato and the others.
" So it's really alright?" Naruto questioned again
" Naruto why wouldn't it be?" Sai asked
" It's just…" Naruto smiled faltered for a second but shrugged
Naruto then started to head to the door, " You all can have a look around inside I'm going to explore the grounds."
With that he exited the door and left the group inside. Tsunade went after him, but as she got outside she saw he was nowhere around.
" Otouto? OTOUTO!" Tsunade called but no answer was giver to her
She grew worried as she looked all over outside and didn't see him.
" Hokage-sama I believe he left the ground." Sai said coming up to her
Panic flew across Tsunade's face as she realized what had happened. She looked at the others who were all still in shock.
" WHAT ARE YOU ALL STADING HERE FOR GO FIND HIM!" Tsunade shouted
" That wouldn't be the best thing to do right now Hokage-sama." Yamato said
Tsunade looked at him shocked he would disobey her.
" Tsunade give him some time. We both know how he is about his emotions, especially right now." Jiraiya said placing a hand on her shoulder
She signed and nodded and then looked at the kids that were there.
" Alright you all know where he lives now and I don't know when he's going to be back, so it'll probably be best if you come back tomorrow. Hinata you are to stay here, if he isn't back before sunset come and get me. Then we'll start searching for him." Tsunade said
" Awe." The Konohamaru Corps wined at not getting to see the rest of the house
The Anbu nodded at this and disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
" Demo?" Sasuke questioned worried
" He'll be alright Sasuke-kun he just needs time." Sakura said reassuring the worried older brother
Sasuke though still worried nodded at her words, " Hokage-sensei." She said and with that everyone left except for Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Hinata.
