Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
A/N:
Hello people, it's good to be writing again. The reason I've been so inactive was not because of a writers block or something like that but because I had fallen ill. This disease made me very tired and sapped away all my energy making it very difficult for my body to fight the disease. Naturally, it took a while for me to recover. But I'm back now. Can't say how quick and how often I'll update 'cause I have school as well but rest assured that I'm writing again. Enough of this, let's get back to the story.
And thanks for the reviews, it really kept me going on my rainy days so to speak.
Reviews:
Shadow Faith: Nice to know you like it.
Binnybobarino: About melting Hanabi's cold heart, well I might get Naruto to make her less frozen but I'm afraid there will be no Naruto/Hanabi romance in this story.
kd8gun: Yes rest assured, Kyuubi was kidding about Naruto being gay.
GenialHinata: In this chapter I'll explain the background of the tattoo.
nonengel: I think I'll have Naruto without chakra till the Chuunin Exams. You'll see my idea's of the Uzumaki Residence in this chapter.
mrasdfghj: Sorry, but Naruto will not have a special Bloodline in this fic.
smily: Thanks, but Naruto will not know many Jutsu's, he's more specialised in unorthodox manners of fighting his opponents.
TenshiKaitou: (hastily bows and starts typing) Glad you liked it.
Firehedgehog: As my Lord commands (smirks and starts on the story)
wolvesm0on: Thanks, I also like your stories a lot.
ranma hibiki: I am considering writing the adventures of Naruto as a merchant but I want to finish one of my standing fics first before starting on another.
Fic Slayr: Naruto has been trained as ninja but travels around as merchant. He won't have chakra for quite some time.
neko-leaf: Reading back it indeed was quite abrupt, I'll try to avoid that in future chapters. Thanks for the criticism though.
Night-Owl123, Crazy Mishka, jpthug12, draconous, Ibozun: Will do.
Dsecret, insanechildfanfic, tiggra, antiassissinguy: Thnx!
Summary last chapter:
Naruto gets instated as Genin in the village of Konoha. He also claims his rightfull title as Head of his Clan and the Uzumaki Residence.
Whistling a tune a certain blond made his way through the streets of Konoha. Naruto preferred to know the city street-wise, a certain trait he had picked up in his younger years. Carefully committing the streets to memory, it was not long before Naruto found himself in front of a dingy looking ramen stand. Carefully looking around to make sure he was not being followed, the young Shinobi entered the stand.
"Ohayo! One bowl of your finest ramen, preferably Miso if you can handle it." Ignoring the girl that was serving the ramen, Naruto focused on the old chef that was also staring back at him.
"Take away?" the chef asked, still not blinking his eyes. Smirking, Naruto replied. "A shinobi always look underneath the underneath, I'll take it away."
Breaking into a smile the chef quickly threw some ramen together and threw it into a bag. And, unseen by the other guests, the chef managed to slip a scroll in as well.
Taking the bag, Naruto threw some money on the table and left. Just as he left, the new Leaf-shinobi barely managed to hear the parting words the chef spoke. "Welcome home, Uzumaki-sama."
Having obtained dinner and a plan of the city, Naruto took to the roofs and headed for the North Gate. Just as the gate came into view, the Kyuubi vessel veered slightly of course and headed for a small cluster of trees.
Landing with a small crouch, Naruto took his time to look around. At first it seemed as if the trees were just that, a cluster of trees. Yet, after having taken the time to study them, Naruto came to the conclusion that they were placed in a swirl, which happened to be the crest of his Clan.
"Ero-Sannin was right. The Mansion is here. Now all I have to do is…"
FLASHBACK
"Now listen up Naruto." The Toad-Sannin was rather serious, intent on passing some knowledge onto the young Uzuzmaki. "Your ancestral mansion is protected by a Genjutsu, making it invisible. In addition to that, the Mansion is…one could say the Mansion is sentient.
Seeing the disbelieving face of his charge, the Sannin sighed, sat down and told Naruto the tale of the Uzumaki's.
"It was during the reign of the Nidaime Hokage. Shortly after he had become Hokage, a small clan arrived at the gated of Konoha. No one knows where they came from, but everybody agreed on one thing; they were masters of chakra. They did things with it that other shibobi's would never even dream of. They wanted to become Leaf shinobi's and were found worthy of the honour. Thus, the Uzumaki came to Konoha.
They lived in the Mansion, a house fit for the shinobi they were and still are. But you find out for yourselves." Jiraiya's face now hardened as he came down to business
"Every of your ancestors put a part of chakar, and thus a part of themselves, into the house. This resulted in some peculiar events. In short, the house seems to be sentient. It resets traps, ambushes it's occupants and hones their reflexes. I believe the Uzumaki Mansion is also known as 'The Haunted House.' Rather corny is you ask me.
So what you will need to do is cancel the Genjutsu on the Mansion and then revive the Mansion, as it has been sleeping since the Godaime died. The jutsu you will be using uses you blood instead of your chakra so it'll be no problem for you. These are the seals"
END FLASHBACK
Thinking back for a moment, Naruto then proceeded bite his thumb and paint a swirl on all of the trees. Standing in the centre of the trees, Naruto formed several seals, ending with the dog seal. "Kai! Seal of the Revival, activate!"
A deep rumbling started from deep down, making the trees shake as if a giant invisible hand was rattling them. Praying to any Kami that would hear him, Naruto hoped he hadn't made a mistake in the seals. Slowly a trapdoor appeared in the centre of the cluster of trees.
When the last of the tremours had subsided the Kyuubi carrier cautiously made his way to the trapdoor. Just as he was about to open the door a kunai came wizzing out of nowhere, forcing Naruto into a spectaculair dive in order to avoid getting impaled.
Hahahaha, this is very entertaining. Somebody please pass me the popcorn, can't wait to see what happens next.
Shut it, you stupid furball. What do you mean with next time?
Your pathetic pea-brain already stopped working the Kyuubi snorted while munchin on his popcorn. Remember what the Toad-Sannin said, it's a haunted house.
Surpressing the urge to smack himself, Naruto once again cautiosly made another attempt to open the door. Now fully aware of his surroundings Naruto's hand made contact with the door. Feeling like a deer in headlights the ninja looked around him, ready for anything. Yet, nothing happened.
…Hmm, that was rather disappointing. A rather saddened Kyuubi made himself known. Ignoring the fox, Naruto just opened the door and blinked. And blinked again. What met his eyes was not the glorious Uzumaki Mansion but a bed in a small ill-lit room.
It was not untill Naruto had carefully examined the room that he found several tightly sealed doors. Shrugging the young ninja vowed that he would solve that mystery another time.
After making himself comfortable, Naruto reached into one of his pockets and pulled out the scroll the old man had given him. "Let's see what has happened in Konoha since the last time I was here."
Eating his ramen, the young Uzumaki continued to read is spies report and learn more about the home of his ancestors.
Dawn found Uzumaki Naruto comfortably asleep, but not for long. Naruto was sleepy, and very determined to ignore the sun and it's rays. In an attempt to block them out, the Uzumaki heir simply pulled his blanket over his head and tried to regain his lost sleep.
Alas, it was not to be. The only warning Naruto got was the turning of gears before his bed his disappeared underneath him and he was falling down some kind of a slide. Ignoring the raucious laughter of the fox sealed in him, Naruto looked up to see his bed slide back in it's former postion over the pitfall before Naruto was carried away.
After a truly dizzy making ride Naruto finally found a light at the end of the tunnel and…
TBCApologies for the cliffhanger, I'll update soon. Just wanted to get this chapter out, and start writing it again. You won't be hanging long though, I'm planning on finishing it this evening. Untill then.
Ja ne!
