Chp. 4: The House of Yondaime

Naruto groaned as he slowly came back to consciousness. He got up from the ground, clasping his face in his hands, trying to keep down the dull pain in the front of his skull. He felt as if he had been thrown around a lot, very quickly and not very gently. His eyes eventually opened to a blurry light. He shook his head and his vision returned. Naruto looked around and found that he was in the same chamber, except this time…there were others…specifically one other…

He turned and saw a small baby in the crib he had noticed before. There were lit candles on the circle around his crib now, and he could hear a group of people, hidden in the shadows, chanting a sort of prayer. The baby wailed uncontrollably, he seemed so alone and sad. Naruto edged closer to the crib and he and the Kyuubi gasped in unison. The baby had spiky blonde hair and a swirling seal on his stomach…

"That baby!"

"THAT SEAL!"

The room flashed with white light again and when it subsided, the room was empty, save for one man. Naruto stared in disbelief into the green eyes of the man before him. He wore a trench coat just like Naruto's, and his spiky blonde hair matched his as well. In fact, if it wasn't for his emerald eyes and lack of whisker marks, Naruto would've thought he was looking at himself. The Kyuubi screamed in his head, "HIM! HE…HE'S THE ONE! HE'S THE FOURTH HOKAGE!"

The man chuckled and said, "You're face is quite amusing, boy-o. But I digress. You're little demon friend is right. I am the Fourth." Naruto paled to the color of a sheet. The Fourth laid his hands on Naruto's shoulders, and said, "Those eyes of yours…they were your mother's eyes, you know. But you got my strong face and dashing physique as well I see…"

"Wait a moment…your face! But that would mean that I'm…"

The Fourth nodded and finished Naruto's sentence for him, "My son, yes. You are my only son and the only remaining member of the House of Yondaime…otherwise known as the house Kazama." Naruto felt his heart explode in his chest. He was…he couldn't be…could he?

"Naruto, my son. I am so proud to see how much you've grown. I know that when I sealed Kyuubi inside you, I was dooming you to a life of hardship and pain. I had hoped the village would accept you, but apparently I assumed too much…but even with all that, you have done more than I ever could have done when I was alive. And now you must hurry, so you may re-establish the house Uzumaki…take a look my son…"

Naruto turned and in the shadows, he saw a single shaft of light fall on another figure. The figure turned and Naruto felt his heart skip a beat, seeing a pair of pearl shaded eyes…Hinata smiled back at him warmly, and suddenly looked to the side. Naruto heard the laugh of a small child and his eyes practically fell out of his head as a small boy ran up to Hinata, who laughed lightly and scooped him up into her arms. The boy suddenly turned to Naruto and the fox vessel felt his heart stop. The boy had unruly indigo hair, spiky and tousled. A single whisker mark grazed each cheek on his tiny, round face, and Naruto stared into his crystal blue eyes…the eyes of the boy's father…Naruto's eyes…

Hinata and the boy disappeared into the shadows, and Naruto turned to face Yondaime, who merely smiled back at him. He took Naruto's hand and placed a small box in it, beginning to fade away himself. "My time is short boy-o…Naruto, my son…rebuild my house… rebuild the my house…the house of Yondaime…and Rokudaime…"

Naruto blacked out again as the room seemed to disappear and plunge him into darkness…

His eyes snapped open and he was back on top of the Hokage monument, staring into the blue sky above. He shot up to his feet and panted like a dog, sweating bullets. He felt the box in his pocket and looked down to it, removing the lid carefully. Inside he found two rings, each with a gem on top, carved in the shape of…a fox head. The seal Naruto's house…the house of The Sixth Hokage, formerly the house of the Fourth Hokage.

He slipped on ring on his right ring finger and stared as the gem turned a fiery red, reflecting the chakra flowing in his veins. He saw the other ring and remembered his vision in the cave…Hinata…the boy…his son…

"Son of a bitch…never thought you'd find out this way. I always assumed you'd find it in Yondaime's records in the Hokage office."

"Kyuubi…how you knew about this before me, I don't know. But right now, I don't care. We're going to the Hyuuga compound, NOW!" Naruto stowed the second ring in the box and dashed off the Hokage monument, flying through the streets towards the Hyuuga compound in the center of town…

A/N: HOLY SHIZZIT! THAT WAS A BEAST TO WRITE::Passes out on floor: XD I hope you all like Naruto's little enlightenment! He's Yondaime's son! Who would've guessed it? (cough…cough…obvious…cough) Four chapters in two days…pardon me if there's a bit of a wait before the next chappie, I need to recuperate…enjoy!
