The Next Day

Naruto and Tenten woke up as the sun shown in their eyes. That was when Kitori came in and said,"Naruto! Get dressed, you must attend a meeting that will start in one hour. Bring your weapons."

Naruto nodded and and put on his regular clothes consisting of green cargopants, a green long sleeved shirt, a black fingerless glove on his left and, and his black Ginnin (Honor ninja) vest with the outlines of leaves in a silver thread. He wore his hitai ati on his forehead. On his right arm, he wore his clawed gauntlet. It's reddish metal glinting in the sun. On his back was his sword which he named Kiba no Kitsune (Fox Fang) , It's blade was a dark gray with a red ninetailed fox on it.

Naruto silently walked into the meeting chamber, seeing Kitori, the old man and woman from last night, Yoshi, and suprisingly, Kisame himself. Once Naruto entered and closed the door, Kitori decided to start the meeting.

"Okay. Now that Naruto is here, let's start this."

At once, Yoshi stood up.

"Kitori-sama! Why is he the heir to the Hoshigaki clan, I say we fight to see who's stronger!" he yelled, but was hit by the old man .

"Be quiet Yoshi,for you to fight, there has to be a vote. Now who wants to see then fight?"

Kitoni Kisame, and the old woman raised their hands.

"Looks like your out voted, Washi." Kisame started, smirking. Naruto smirked too, knowing he had another chance to teach the kid the lesson he just wouldn't learn. Yoshi smirked at the thought of beating the crap out of the basterd for what he did to him last night.

"Lots go then," Naruto said nothing and they walked to training with Kitori, Kisame, Washi, Rei (the old woman), Tenten, and the gong girl, Hari. Kitori went in between the two and said.

"Uzumaki Naruto VS Hoshigaki Yoshi. The winner of this match, willl become the heir to the Hoshigaki clan. Begin!" she yelled, and all of a sudden, thirty Naruto's appeared out of nowhere, with their swords drawn. They then surrounded Yoshi in a cirlce and Naruto yelled out.

"Kage Ken no mai!" (1) "and the Narutos became blurs and started to slash Yoshi. When the dance was done, Yoshi had several cuts in his body.

"You should give up now, you cant take another hit like that." Naruto said holding his sword at the boy in front of him. Yoshi smirked at Naruto and said

"That what you think." and with that, turned into a puddle with water.

'Damn!' Naruto thought, ' Mizu bunshin! " Now where is he?" he looked around. 'Left? no Right? no.Behind? no. Above? no. Below!' Naruto jumped to the right as Yoshi came out from the spot where Naruto was before. Yoshi looked to Naruto and yelled, "Try to block this!" his sword started to glow a faint blue, it started to glow brighter and brighter until Yoshi yelled, "Ryoku Dageki! (2) " and he slammed his blade at Naruto, who blocked the strike with his own sword.

"Aaaagh!" Naruto growled in pain as his sword was broken by Yoshi's blade, whick dug into his right shoulder, with shard of his own broken sword, lodged nto his upper torso.

"Dammit! That sword was a gift! Now I'm mad!" Naruto said as he kicked Yoshi off of him along with his sword. Naruto then threw of his gauntlet and did the two hand seals (Horse and Demon) for one of his most powerful jutsu. His hands was now being covered with howling shadows. With an angry snarl, he charged at Yoshi with blinding speed with enough force, slammed his claw into Yoshi sword and melted the metal with one swipe. He then kicked Yoshi down and pointed his shadowed claw into the boys neck.

"Give up now, or I'll kill you, the sword you broke was created by a very important person to me, he and my sensei were one of my first real

friends. Now die!" Naruto was about to lunge forward and stopped when Yoshi fainted.

"Hehehe, he was so scared that he fainted." Naruto said, chuckling. Kitori just shook her head and said to Kisame.

"Kisame, please bring Naruto the heir looms."

Kisame nodded and left to get the items. Kitori then looked to Naruto and said, " Uzumaki Naruto, you are the true heir to the Hoshigaki clan!"

Tenten then ran to Naruto who was getting shards of metal out of him.

"Naruto-kun! Are you all right? Here let me help you." Tenten said. She then painlessly as possible., pulled the shards out of Naruto's body.

"Thanks Ten-Chan." Naruto said to his girlfriend as the last shard was out of his skin. "Im sorry that the sword your dad made for me is gone now, the gauntlet will have no use." Naruto said, glumly.Tenten just snorted.

"Dont worry, Naruto-kun, 'Tou-san can make another one."

"He wont have too." said a voice that made them jump. They turned around to see Kitori standing there with a long slim box, some clothes, and an Anbu mask in her arms.

" Baa-chan, what are you talking about? I need a new sword." Naruto said. Kitori just walked up to him and said,

" Uzumaki Naruto, you are the heir to the Hoshigaki clan, but we fear that since you will leave, we cannot let you become the heir. That is why, I have your mothers and fathers belongings. The mask was your mothers, as were the sword a cloak. The clothes that go under the cloak belonged to you father, the Yondaime. Since you are leaving, I see it fair that you receive your parents' items." and she gave him the clothes first.

They came with a a pair of black pants with strps to hold weapon holsters, a black undershirt, a black jacket with blue outling of the jacket, a blue collar which held the flaps together with a strip of blue tied from the left side of the jacket, to the right. He also had black fingerless gloves with a metal plating on the back. On the plating on the right hand, was the insignia of Konoha, while on the left, was the insignia of Kiri. Naruto then looked at the cloak of his mothers and found that it was blue and made of the same material of his fathers clothes. On the back were the insignia of both of his clans, the Uzumaki spiral, and the Hoshigaki four-point star, in silver thread.

" Wow, there beautiful, Baa-chan." Naruto said as he folded the clothes neatly and turned his attention to the mask. It looked like a regular Anbu mask at first, but when you turn it around to see the face, you would see that it was painted to look like a shark in blue paint. There was no insignia on the mask at all, but a place that seemed to have been there to allow a hitai ate on the mask. The teeth of the shark made it look like it was grinning with it's own deadly look. Naruto was about to look at the sword when Kitori stopped him.

" Naruto, before you examine the sword, you must first put on the clothes of your parents'. That way, you won't look like an idiot with just the mask." Naruto looked at her confused. " I mean, to be able to use the sword, you must wear the mask." NAruto nodded and went to change, leaving Tenten and Kitori alone. After a few moments of silence, Kitori chose to speak,

" So, Tenten-chan, how is Naruto treated in Konoha?" the old woman asked, Tenten looked at her and sighed,

" I'm not really sure that Naruto-kun want's me to tell you, but I will tell you everything I can. At home, Naruto is mistreated very badly, he has saved the village at least twice and the villagers still think of him as a demon. Why can't they just see that Naruto isn't a demon, but just a loving boy?" Tenten asked, not noticing the smile on Kitori's face when she heard that Naruto had atleast one person who loved him, and saw his as him, and not the demon. At that point, Naruto walked outside wearing his new clothes, shocking Tenten when she saw him. The clothes fit perectly, with the black of his outfit, his blue eyes seemed brighter then before, and the blue of it matched his eyes. He turned to the two, causing Tenten to blush a little. Kitori looked to Naruto and said, " They look good on you Naruto. Perfect fit right?"

"Yes. Where did my parents get them?"

"Well, those clothes were made for the Fourth and Umi as a gift by a master tailor and his brother, who was a master of sealing techniques. They shrink or expand to a perfect fit for whoever puts them on." Kitori explained.

" Wow.." Naruto and Tenten said together.

" Now, put on you mask and take a look at your sword." Kitori said. Naruto nodded and put the mask on and unsheathed his balde. To his suprise, the blade was very light, and was also a very high-class katana with a white blade and a round hand guard made of the same white material. The grip of the blade was wrapped in a blue leather strips. Along the blade of the katana, Naruto saw runes of of a light blue on the front side of the blade, while there were runse the same color as Kisame's Samehada on the reverse side. The blade was very durable, and Naruto then found out why the blade was white, and was so light. The entire sword was made of bone.

(A/N- No, the sword is not from the Kaguya clan, it is just made from a bone of which I will tell later)

Kitori, sensing Naruto's confusion said " That blade of your mother's was the most powerful of the blade I have ever seen. It is made from the bone of an ancient creature called the Samerando(Land Shark) it is said that it's bones are so strong, shinobi used to make weopns out of them, and they would last forever, with ever needing to be sharpened after they were made. Umi found the skeleton of the Samerando and created three things from it; the mask you are wearing, the sword, and it's sheath, are all made of the Samerando skeleton. I have no idea what the runes do, but I remember the name of this blade, and the blade that you will get from Kisame when he gets back. This blade is called, Samehone( Shark bone), use it well, Naruto." and she left NAruto and Tenten alone to think.
