Hello all Storm here with another rebooted story! After some thought and looking over "A Knight's Journey", I figured it'd be better to simply reboot it entirely and make it better, changing up a lot of things for it. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
'Wow, so this is Konoha. It's really different than how Kaa-san described it.' Thought a nine-year-old girl as she walked through the gates of Konoha, looking around the village in awe.
With it looking more like a city than a village to her.
The girl had long, light blonde hair pulled up into a ponytail and two braids on either side of her head, messy bangs parts down the middle of her forehead and strands on the side of her face, fair skin, and emerald, green eyes while wearing a brown cloak with the hood pulled up. Underneath the cloak she wore brown boots, a black bodysuit, and a dark red jacket with dull gold edging.
Though what most people would instantly were the three whisker marks on her cheeks, given only three other people in the world had such markings and they were all related.
This girl was Mordred Uzumaki, the daughter of the Priestess of the Land of Demons, Shion.
The reason Mordred was in Konoha, alone for that matter, rather in the Land of Demons was because after years of begging and pleading, she had finally managed to get her mother to tell her who her father was. Learning that her father was THE Naruto Uzumaki, the Hero of the Fourth Shinobi War, the Savior of the World, and the man who defeated Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. With Mordred being aware of the latter due to her mother being one of the few people that were in the know about Kaguya being the main mastermind behind the Infinite Tsukuyomi, rather than Madara.
Sure, he got help from his teammates and sensei, but Mordred was sure he did most of the work.
Mordred had been both shocked and awed to learn who her father was, but this lead to her desire of wanting to meet her father as well. It took some time, but she had managed to convince her mother to let her go to Konoha and meet him in person. Now here she was and Mordred was feeling both excited and nervous, excited to finally meet her father and nervous considering he was such an important person.
'Maybe I should have waited, what if he's busy, what if I'm too weak, what if he'll be upset that I'm not a Ninja like he is, what if-huh?' Mordred thought before noticing the giant crowd gathered outside what she knew was the Hokage Tower.
It looked like everyone in Konoha was there, it also confused Mordred as to why everyone was wearing white kimono tops.
'Is this some kind of festival or holiday?' Mordred thought before running to see what was happening.
Upon a closer inspection, Mordred saw someone standing on top of the Hokage Tower. Narrowing her eyes, Mordred saw it was Kakashi Hatake the Rokudaime Hokage.
'Is he making an announcement? If so, why would everyone need to be here?' Mordred wondered before hearing Kakashi start to speak.
"Alright then, let's bring out the man of the hour himself. The man who's about to become the Nanadaime Hokage, the man you all know…" Kakashi spoke.
Mordred looked in awe as she watched Kakashi step aside and let someone stand before the crowd.
'Wow…' Mordred thought, seeing the person she had come to Konoha to meet.
Her father was being named the Nanadaime Hokage, and she arrived just in time for his inauguration!
"Naruto Uzumaki!" Announce Kakashi as the crowd cheered loudly.
Everyone was cheering as Naruto smiled and waved at the crowd, all except Mordred, who was looking with a downcast expression on her face.
'He's the Nanadaime Hokage too, that's just another title he has. And I'm just a stupid kid who he probably doesn't know exists, how could I ever live up to someone like him?' Thought Mordred.
Maybe she should just go home and save herself the embarrassment of meeting her father.
'But…maybe if I can prove myself by becoming a Ninja like him, then I'd be able to meet him and make him proud that I became a Ninja too! And not just any ninja, I'll be the strongest!' Mordred swore, her eyes burning with determination.
She'll become someone worthy to carry her father's name, no matter what.
*Timeskip-Five Years*
'This is it; I've finally reached my goal!' Mordred thought in excitement as she walked up the stairs to the Hokage's Office, her father's office.
Five years have passed since her arrival in Konoha. The day after her father's inauguration, she had immediately enrolled into the Academy under a fake name since she doubted that there were many people named Mordred. Pushing herself to the top of her class graduating earlier than was expected, becoming one of the youngest Genin in recent years.
During her time in the Academy and after becoming a Ninja, Mordred had taken to covering her face since from what she learned of her father's history, she looked nearly identical to when he used his Sexy Jutsu. Only with lighter hair color and green eyes, and she didn't want her identity revealed too soon. Plus, her whisker marks would be a dead giveaway for who she was.
Though to Mordred's worry, when she'd been put on a Genin Team, her sensei was Hanabi Hyūga the Heiress of the Hyūga Clan, and her father's sister-in-law. Something that did worry Mordred, given the fact she wasn't sure if her father's wife, Hinata Hyūga, was aware of her or the woman's opinion of her. The girl didn't say anything about it and neither did Hanabi, instead acting surprisingly courteous and like a teacher to her. And if she knew who she really was, then Hanabi never brought it up.
While her teammates were Videl Satan and Kallen Kōzuki, both of whom also stood out in the Academy and were able to graduate early like her. With Videl being especially skilled in Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, while Kallen leaned towards Bukijutsu and Taijutsu, along with being one of the smartest in the Academy.
And while Mordred had tended to simply focus on improving herself and become stronger, she actually started enjoying being on a team with Videl and Kallen. The three girls being able to work well together and help each other out when they needed it, whether it's on missions or in training.
As for missions, they completed them all, no matter what rank they were, even those damned D-Rank missions. When the time came for them to enter the Chūnin Exams, Mordred passed through all the tests and even managed to win the Tournament Round and rise to the rank of Chūnin. With Videl and Kallen also managing to advance to Chūnin as well after showing of their own talent and skill. All of which before they were even Genin for a year, something that the three did take pride in, at being able to show how far they'd come.
She spent two years as a Chūnin with a still great mission record and also begun developing her own fighting style. With Mordred developing an interest in Kenjutsu after learning how her paternal grandmother was a master swordswoman, having even won the "Swimsuit Swordmaster Seven Color Showdown" in the Land of Wind, along with feeling some kind of pull towards it. With Kallen having helped the blonde find some Kenjutsu Styles that suited her, since she had shown to be talented in the art as well. Though when they tried out different swords, Mordred wasn't able to use any of them, finding none of them really felt right.
But that didn't stop her from learning several different styles for she eventually found a blade that worked for her. While also deciding to simply use a katana, at least until she found a sword that better suited her preferences.
She also specialized in Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, while also learning she had a Fire Affinity and Lightning Affinity, much to her excitement at having such powerful affinities. Doing her best to master them and learn as many Ninjutsu as she could. Though something that was unique is that unlike other Ninja who normally used blue lightning, or the Sandaime Raikage and Godaime Raikage who used Black Lightning. Mordred's lightning was instead a crimson, red color, something she found strange but also really cool. Especially after bringing this up to Hanabi, who helped Mordred learn that she was subconsciously mixing her Fire Affinity with her Lightning Affinity, creating a more powerful variant of Lightning that isn't weak to Wind Style Ninjutsu and instead grows more powerful and intense from it.
Another skill she started learning was Fūinjutsu, given how the Uzumaki Clan were renowned for their skill with seals and Mordred wanted to see if she had the same talent. Not to mention everything she's read about what Fūinjutsu is capable of, she knew that it'd be a useful skill it'd be to learn. With it taking a while for her to get the hang of it, but soon the girl was able to start learning everything she could about the art.
Mordred also still trained with Videl and Kallen, finding that even if they weren't on the same team anymore, she did come to enjoy hanging out with the other girls. With all three of them pushing each other to grow stronger, as well as helping one another to improve.
With Videl having worked on combining her Ninjutsu and Taijutsu into Nintaijutsu by incorporating her Lightning and Water Affinities, as well as her Ranton Kekkei Genkai into it. Something Mordred was able to help with given her own Lightning Affinity, with Videl in turn helping to improve her Taijutsu. Along with helping her learn Nintaijutsu as well, something the blonde girl was eager to learn given what she could do by combining her Fire Style Ninjutsu and Crimson Lightning with her Taijutsu.
While Kallen tended to use rather unique weapons, usually being upgraded with Scientific Ninja Tools. Such wrist-mounted launchers that fired retractable two pronged claws with wires attached to them, that could be used to wrap around enemies to restrict their movements or stab into walls to pull herself up to higher vantage points. Twin blades that were designed to be held in reverse grips and had guards on the handles with curved spikes, allowing Kallen to punch and slash with them. She could also channel Chakra into the swords, making them even sharper, even more so if she used her Lightning and Wind Affinities, with her also attaching a pair of blades to the back of her legs, allowing her kicks to be even deadlier.
Mordred in turn also helped her teammates by helping them to learn Fūinjutsu, trading Lightning Style Ninjutsu with Videl and Kallen, along with helping each other in developing their Lightning Affinities. Something they were both grateful for, with Videl being able to improve her Nintaijutsu with Lightning Chakra, while Kallen upgraded her weapons even more with seals, along with making her wires conduct electricity to electrocute opponents. The three girls having also begun applying Gravity Seals to their clothes, allowing them to increase their strength and speed.
One thing the whiskered blonde also worked on in secret was creating her own original Jutsu, basing it off her father's Rasengan and Rasenshuriken, only making it much stronger. Wanting to show him when she finally reveals herself, letting him see just how far she's come as a Ninja.
The three also hung out outside of training and missions as well, where they got to know each other better, though Mordred did have to keep some stuff a secret, along with trading ideas to improve their training. Which still surprised the Uzumaki, given that when she first decided to become a Ninja, it was simply to get her father's approval. Having originally not intended to make friends or anything like that. Now though, Mordred was glad that she had Videl and Kallen as her teammates and now her friends.
Mordred's attire had also changed over the years, with her now wearing a black scarf around her neck and the lower half of her face, with the rest of her outfit consisting of a white, sleeveless kimono with black borders, that went down to her mid-thighs, while having a black and aquamarine obi on her waist, an aquamarine trench coat, with the end of the sleeves being white, black stockings, and wooden sandals.
Perhaps not the most subtle attire, but Mordred had never been one for subtlety, plus she felt a strange connection to it, despite her usual preference for red, gold and black. Due to her having had dreams of fighting alongside a girl that had a similar face as her, only minus the whisker-marks and her blonde hair had a bit of a pink tint to it, that wore this very outfit. While being given orders by a girl with shoulder-length, dark orange hair that was kept in a left-side ponytail with usually a yellow hair band and cowlick, along with having light orange eyes.
Soon into her fourth year in Konoha, Mordred had become a Jōnin, something her former teammates all congratulated her on. Along with learning that Kallen had begun helping the Scientific Ninja Weapons Team, having developed her own ideas and was eager to create new weapons and tools to use. While Videl, despite having the chance to advance in rank like Mordred, chose to stay a Chūnin for the time being. Wanting to further develop her abilities and grow stronger before advancing. As opposed to Mordred, who kept looking for bigger and better challenges to overcome and grow stronger from.
Now after five long years filled with blood, sweat, and tears, Mordred had achieved her goal in becoming as strong as she desired and being the strongest of her generation. Mordred was now confident in meeting her father and gaining his recognition and love. With it helping that she was returning from another completed mission.
'This is it.' Mordred thought as she stood outside her father's office and knocked on the door.
"Enter." Came Naruto's voice.
Entering, Mordred saw her father behind his desk with numerous stacks of paper that he was signing and looking over.
'Why doesn't he just use Shadow Clones?' Wondered Mordred, having seen numerous clones of her father running around the village, completing tasks or even giving interviews yet he doesn't use them to take some of the workload off.
"The mission was a success Hokage-sama, the client arrived at their destination unharmed and all threats were eliminated." Mordred reported while getting back to the task at hand.
"Well done Jōnin Umikaze, you're dismissed for the rest of the day." Naruto said as he kept signing paperwork.
After a few moments of not hearing the door open and close, Naruto looked and saw Mordred still standing there.
"Is there something else you wanted to say Moriko?" Asked Naruto, while Mordred took a deep breath.
"Yes Hokage-sama, there was." Mordred replied while hoping for the best response when she reveals herself.
"Well say it and then please go, I have a lot of work to do and don't have a lot of time." Naruto said, really wanting to finish his work for the day before Shikamaru shows up with even more papers to sign.
"Ri-right. Well you see Hokage-sama, I originally came to Konoha to meet my Tou-san, my Kaa-san said he was a Ninja here and I was able to convince her to let me travel here to meet him. I actually arrived on the day of your inauguration." Mordred said, while Naruto's eye twitched at the mention of his inauguration while rubbing his stomach.
Still remembering how he'd been knocked out by Himawari when she tried attacking Izumi for tearing her toy. Resulting in Konohamaru needing to put on a transformation and take his place, something that still annoyed Naruto at missing his own inauguration. Along with inciting a sense of fear and dread in both him and Kurama, whenever Himawari got angry.
"Okay, and did you meet your Tou-san or require my help in finding him?" Questioned Naruto, figuring she needed his help finding her father after being unable to find him herself.
Shaking her head in response, Mordred took a deep breath, before she pulled down her scarf and revealing her face, much to Naruto's shock when he finally saw what she looked like.
"My name is Mordred Uzumaki, my Kaa-san is the Priestess Shion and I am your daughter." Mordred revealed while seeing the shock on her father's face, which was to be expected given she doubted he expected to meet her like this.
Though just as quickly his shock vanished as he shook his head and headed for the door. With Mordred looking at him in confusion and worry, wondering what he was doing and why he didn't say anything.
"Wait, aren't you going to say something?" Mordred asked stopping him, wanting to at least know what he thought of her being here and that she's a Ninja.
"Does Shion know you're here?" Naruto asked, wanting to know if Mordred ran away or if Shion let her come here.
"Uh…y-yes, she knows I'm here, she let me come after finally telling me who you were." Replied Mordred, with the Nanadaime nodding slightly at this.
"Okay. Just…give me some time to think and process this. Go um…train or something for now." Said Naruto before taking his leave, still reeling from the fact Mordred was here.
With Mordred standing there, not sure what to feel at the seeming dismissal from her father, not sure if she should feel hurt or angry that he just walked away, or relieved that didn't tell her to simply leave.
'I…guess it's better than nothing.' Mordred thought, letting out a sigh before pulling her scarf back over her face and left to get some training done.
*With Naruto*
Meanwhile, Naruto had headed home to talk to Hinata, knowing Izumi would still be at the Academy and Himawari was spending the day with Hanabi. Something he's grateful for, wanting to talk to his wife alone.
With it not taking long for him to arrive home and going inside to find Hinata reading a book and drinking tea before looking up at her husband in surprise.
"Naruto-kun? You're home early or are you actually taking a break for once?" Hinata asked while smiling at the Uzumaki, not minding if he's actually learning to relax and rest from his duties as Hokage, only to notice the expression on his face.
"Did something happen?" Questioned Hinata in worry seeing Naruto looked troubled about something.
"Uh…yeah, something happened. I just…just saw…Mordred, she's here in Konoha…for a few years apparently." Naruto revealed, knowing it'd be a shock for her to hear that.
"Oh. Is that all?" Hinata said, relaxing at hearing it was just him learning about Mordred being here, while Naruto now looked at her in surprise.
"Wait…you knew?!" Naruto asked, not expecting Hinata to already know Mordred was here.
"Yes, Shion had sent a message saying Mordred was coming. I didn't tell you since it was around the time you were going to be named Hokage and you were so busy with everything, I thought it'd be a nice surprise for all three of your daughters to be here for your big day. But then I saw that while she arrived in the village, she didn't come over, so I decided to let her reveal herself." Hinata explained with a smile, finding it sweet that Mordred chose to become a Ninja like her father to impress him, given what Hanabi told her during her time as a Jōnin Sensei.
"And Naruto-kun, it was actually kind of obvious Mordred was here with her fake name. Moriko Umikaze." Added Hinata in amusement, while Naruto looked at her in confusion.
"How was it…" Said Naruto, only to stop and think it over.
Realizing that Moriko meant "forest child", meaning Konoha and the forests in the Land of Demons, while Umikaze meant "ocean wind" with Uzushiogakure having been on an island in the sea, while his father's last name was Namikaze.
"Congrats, you finally put two and two together to get four…for once. Then again, common sense was never really your strong point." Said Kurama with a smirk, seeing its Jinchūriki was still dense to things right in front of him, much to Naruto's annoyance.
'You knew too?! Did everyone but me know?!' Thought Naruto, with the Bijū merely snickering before falling silent.
"Wait…did Hanabi know? Is that why she wanted to take on a Genin Team?" Naruto asked, wondering if Hanabi also knew, given the fact she'd only just become a Tokubetsu Jōnin at the time, before eventually become a full Jōnin.
"Yes, Hanabi knew, and I was the one that told her. And yes, that's why she wanted a Genin Team, I wanted her to look out for her on missions and Hanabi took the chance to get to know her better." Hinata replied, making Naruto lower his head that it seemed like everyone knew Mordred was here but him.
"So, what're you going to do now?" Questioned Hinata, wondering what her husband will do now that he knows Mordred is in Konoha.
"I guess…let Izumi and Himawari meet their sister and explain things to all of them." Said Naruto since he wasn't sure about what exactly Shion told Mordred, while Izumi and Himawari didn't know they had an older sister.
"Good. And maybe you should rest until then, so you'll be nice and relaxed when Izumi and Himawari get back." Hinata said while seeing how exhausted he looked, only for Naruto to sigh and shake his head.
"I can't, I still have a lot of work to do and paperwork to sign. But I'll be back later when they're here. Plus, I can't deny how I'm kind of scared on how the girls will react, especially Izumi with how distant we became after I became Hokage. So it would probably be best to have something to work on, while I'm psyching myself up for it." Naruto replied before turning to leave and return to his office to finish his work.
With Hinata letting out a sigh herself, wishing that Naruto would learn to rest and take care of himself for once. Rather than having Shadow Clones constantly running around the village taking care of stuff, while he's locked away in the Hokage's Office filling out paperwork.
'Maybe with Mordred here, he'll finally learn to take a break.' Thought Hinata, hoping that having all three of his daughters here will help Naruto start relaxing more.
*With Mordred*
Mordred had gone to Training Ground Thirteen, which had been her team's training ground when they were still Genin. The Uzumaki soon arriving only to see Videl and Kallen already there and were training.
Videl was a beautiful girl with pale skin, straight black hair with side bangs and five loose strands that hung over her forehead and low pigtails that hung down to her chest while held by gold hairclips. Along with having light-blue eyes and a slender frame, yet also having an athletic physique. With her wearing a black crop top, a sleeveless white gi top that exposed her midriff, tight black spandex compression shorts that stopped at her upper thighs, her forehead protector acting as a belt, black fingerless gloves and blue boots.
While Kallen is a young woman who has a slim yet strong build, fair skin, big blue eyes and short red hair which she usually kept spiked up. With the redhead wearing black boots, detached red pinstripe pants legs that hid the blades on the back of her boots, a matching red pinstripe crop top turtleneck, pale red short shorts held up by a white belt, a pale red vest with three straps one right above her breasts and to below them, white sleeves on her arms, which she's since applied Storage Seals to storing weapons in them to let them slide into her hands, and her headband being around her forehead while replacing the blue cloth with a red one.
'I feel like they're doing it on purpose.' Thought Mordred, watching her friends move around in their rather revealing outfits, knowing they weren't that revealing in the Academy or when they first became Genin.
The whiskered blonde fully believing they changed just to tease her, given she always found it hard to concentrate when seeing them like that. Something they've both taken to teasing her endlessly about, much to Mordred's annoyance and embarrassment.
Though she was pulled from her thoughts when Videl and Kallen noticed her presence and stopped their training.
"Moriko! Glad to see you're back from your mission." Videl said as they walked up to her.
"Yeah, I actually just got back from reporting to the Hokage and decided to get some training done." Replied Mordred, making the girls smirk since it wasn't surprising, given if she wasn't hanging out with them, she'd either be training or going on missions.
"And you just happen to come here while we were training together? You sure you weren't hoping just to see something good?" Questioned Kallen, while crossing her arms under her developing breasts, making Mordred blush slightly.
"N-no! I had n-no idea you'd both be here!" Mordred retorted, only for them to keep smirking.
"Are you sure? Cause how do we know you weren't here a lot longer and just decided to step out now? Maybe you were hoping to just a get closer look?" Videl said while leaning forward flashing a hint of her cleavage, with the Uzumaki fighting the urge to look and instead looked at both of them in annoyance.
"I swear I'll get you both back one day and then we'll see who's laughing." Said Mordred, swearing to get them back for their teasing.
"Do you promise to punish us then?" Videl asked with a sly smile, causing Mordred to blush brightly.
"Unless you want to be the one being punished by us?" Added Kallen with a smirk, which only made Mordred's blush intensify, along with her growling in annoyance.
"I swear…it was one time and we were all drunk!" Mordred muttered, which only made Videl and Kallen laugh at her expression, both of them always enjoying the chance to tease their friend.
"But we don't seem to remember you complaining about it, Moriko!" Videl said with a laugh.
Not long after Mordred got promoted to a Jōnin, the girls went out celebrating, only to later find themselves naked and in bed together at Mordred's apartment the next morning. Thankfully, they were too drunk and hungover the next morning to remember what Mordred's face looked like. Along with that being when Videl and Kallen started becoming more forward with her, given how they had a mutual attraction for each other and the large step they took from just being friends and teammates. Though, that was also the only time the trio had sex, since Mordred didn't want to risk the chance of them seeing her face.
Though the two soon stopped laughing when they saw the expression on Mordred's face, seeing her blush had vanished but still looked troubled by something.
"Okay, joking aside, are you alright Moriko?" Questioned Videl, wondering if something was wrong with her.
"Yeah, you look like something's bothering you. Did something happen?" Kallen said, also seeing that she looked bothered by something.
"I'm fine, I just…talked to the Hokage about my Tou-san." Mordred replied, having at least told them that the reason she came to Konoha was to meet her father, just not saying who he was, making both girls perk up.
"Oh, that's good. Were you able to finally find out anything about him or where he is now?" Kallen asked, Videl also being interested in hearing this, as both of them had agreed to help Mordred try to find her father after learning she came to Konoha to meet him.
Mordred looked between them, wondering if she should tell them the truth about who she is. She'd even considered it before, but was held back out of fear they'd hate her for lying. Or that they'd see her differently after learning her father was Naruto Uzumaki. Having seen how some people compared her half-sisters to him, particularly Izumi and her talent in the Academy.
But at the same time, Mordred feels that she could trust them with the truth, and given that she's already revealed herself to her father, then it likely won't be long before it's revealed to everyone else.
"Yeah, I did, but the truth is…I've known the entire time who my Tou-san was. And I just told him who I was before coming here." Replied Mordred before pulling down her scarf and revealing her face, with Videl and Kallen looking at her in shock and disbelief.
"Holy shit." Videl said while looking at Mordred's face, particularly her whisker marks.
"Damn." Muttered Kallen, also shocked at realizing who Mordred's father was.
"My name isn't actually Moriko Umikaze, it's Mordred Uzumaki, and my Tou-san is Naruto Uzumaki." Mordred said, with the two looking at her with wide eyes before shaking their heads.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Kallen asked with a frown.
"Did you not trust us?" Said Videl, both of them feeling hurt and betrayed that she didn't trust them with the truth.
"At first, no I didn't, since I didn't know either of you, plus I wanted to reveal myself to my Tou-san first before anyone else. Then when I did start trusting you, when we spent time together and got know each other better, I didn't tell you out of fear you'd hate me or see me differently. I wanted to tell you both…I just didn't know how. All I can say is sorry for not telling you sooner." Explained Mordred, with the two looking at her with frowns.
"Are there any other secrets you have?" Questioned Videl.
"Well…my Kaa-san isn't Hinata Uzumaki, it's the Priestess Shion from the Land of Demons since my Tou-san promised her that he would help her continue the continue the line of Priestesses, there. Though, I was born before they were married so he didn't cheat on his wife or anything like that." Mordred replied, surprising them at hearing she wasn't Naruto and Hinata's daughter, though it did explain why she wasn't in Konoha to begin with.
Videl and Kallen remained silent for a few moments, making Mordred nervous that they were angry at her, only to feel relieved when they smiled at her.
"Don't think this'll make us go easy on you when we're sparring." Videl said, with Kallen nodding in agreement, making the whiskered blonde smile glad that they weren't angry.
"I'd be insulted if you did." Replied Mordred, not wanting them to even think of going easy on her, but was happy they were still friends and they didn't see her differently.
"Though, never in a million years did we ever think that we would be lovers with the Nanadaime Hokage's daughter." Kallen said, causing the trio to let out a laugh, since it was kind of funny when they thought about it.
*Later*
Mordred stood outside of the Uzumaki Residence with a nervous expression on her face, having been approached by one of her father's Shadow Clones to come here. With the whiskered blonde being nervous about what would happen once she went inside, not doubting that the rest of his family was also here now.
'Fuck it, no use worrying over what could happen. Just have to go and get it over with.' Mordred thought while preparing herself for the worst.
Walking up, Mordred knocked on the door and waited for someone to open, which wasn't long before it opened, revealing Hinata herself. And to Mordred's surprise, she actually smiled at her.
"Mordred, I'm glad to finally see you." Hinata said, surprising Mordred again.
"You…know who I am?" Asked Mordred, not expecting her to know, let alone be happy to see her.
"Of course I do, I was there when you were born. Please come in, Naruto-kun's already here along with Izumi and Himawari." Replied Hinata before stepping aside to let Mordred in, who was surprised again at hearing she'd been there when she was born.
'Kaa-san, what didn't you tell me?' Mordred thought, seeing her mother didn't tell her everything she knew.
Entering the house, Hinata lead Mordred to the living room where she saw her father sitting down, along with her two half-sisters Izumi, who was twelve-years-old, and Himawari, who was nine-years-old.
Himawari bears a striking resemblance to her mother, having her dark-blue hair that she wears with straight bangs and a hime-cut. Her hair flares out on the sides and back, and she has an ahoge on the top of her head, which resembles the stem of a leaf. She has inherited her father's blue eyes, two whisker marks on each cheek, unruly hair, and facial features. She was wearing a light yellow long-sleeved hooded-sweater with a blue shirt underneath that has a petal-like pattern, and a two-layered pink flutter skirt. She also wears long, black open-toed stockings and fuchsia Shinobi sandals.
While for Izumi, she really looked like a female version of their father, having straight long blonde hair, blue eyes that looked brighter than Naruto's own, and two whisker marks on each cheek. Though she also had facial features from her mother, such as the shape of her face and eyes. With her attire consisting of black Ninja sandals, black form-fitting shorts that stopped below her knees, a white tank top, and a black tracksuit jacket that stopped just above her ribs with a dark pink interior and a dark pink Uzumaki Clan symbol on the back.
'They look like them.' Thought Mordred looking at her half-sisters, seeing how similar they looked to both their parents, while both Izumi and Himawari looked at Mordred in shock when she stepped into the living room.
"Ooooh, you have whiskers like Tou-chan, Onee-chan and me!" Himawari said upon seeing that Mordred had whiskers like her, her sister and their father.
"Who the hell is she old man?!" Demanded Izumi while glaring at her father, seeing this girl looked like her and him, with the added whisker marks only making her angrier at what it could mean, with Naruto sighing knowing she'd likely be angry.
"Izumi, Himawari, this is Mordred your older sister. Mordred these are Izumi and Himawari, your younger sisters." Naruto introduced, much to their shock and Izumi's anger, while Himawari looked at Mordred in amazement.
"I have another Onee-chan?" Himawari said before smiling brightly that she had another big sister.
"You cheated on Kaa-san?!" Izumi shouted at Naruto, angered that not only was he choosing to spend all his time in that damn office as Hokage, but he actually cheated on their mother now too.
"Izumi! Naruto-kun did not cheat on me, it was before we were married and I knew about Mordred the entire time." Said Hinata sternly, not wanting her oldest daughter to get angry at her father like that.
With this surprising both Izumi and Himawari to hear this, since they didn't expect Hinata to have been aware of Mordred's existence. With Mordred having just learned this when she let her in.
"Let's all just sit down and your Tou-san and I can explain, alright." Hinata said while sitting down, with Himawari nodding happily before taking a seat, as Mordred took a seat as well, while Izumi let out a huff and crossed her arms while not taking a seat, still feeling angry at her father.
"Okay, this all happened years ago, before the Fourth Shinobi World War. I went on a mission with Sarada's Kaa-san Sakura, Rock Lee, and your cousin Neji Hyūga to the Land of Demons, where we were supposed to escort the Priestess Shion to a shrine in the Land of Swamps to seal away a demon that was trying to break free. She was really stubborn and also annoying with how she insulted us or valued those that were loyal to her, but that was only due to her childhood, and I was able to knock some sense into her at the end. Though when we reached the shrine, the demon had broken free with me and Shion having to fight it off, managing to defeat it by combining how power together. It was after that, that Shion asked me to help her pass down her power to other priestesses that would defeat demons like that one and…I agreed." Naruto explained before scratching his head in embarrassment.
Given that at the time, he'd been under the impression Shion wanted him to help train new priestesses or something like that, not have a child with her. Only really understanding after he started dating Hinata, which only made him nervous on what to do. Since on hand he didn't want to break his promise to Shion, on the other hand he didn't want to cheat on Hinata.
"And you still did it." Izumi said accusingly, narrowing her eyes at Naruto and Mordred, guessing the latter couldn't be more than two years older than her, meaning he either cheated on her mother or had sex with someone else before going with her.
Either way, she's angry at her father for having a child with someone else.
"And I let him. Naruto-kun told me about his promise to Shion after we started dating and I told him it was fine to keep it, knowing how much his promises mean to him." Said Hinata, making the three girls look at her.
"You were really okay with it?" Questioned Mordred, surprised that she'd let her father fulfill his promise, even if it meant he slept with another woman.
"Yes, and I'm glad I did since it made you. And…well…" Hinata said while smiling at Mordred, before she trailed off with a blush growing on her face.
"Well what?" Said Izumi looking at her mother.
"I may've been…curious." Replied Hinata before looking anywhere but her daughters, making Mordred, Izumi, and Himawari look at their father, only to see him whistling and looking at the ceiling in fascination.
'Why are they…oh…ooooooooooooooohhhhh…' Thought Mordred in confusion only for realization to dawn on her, given how she wasn't a virgin herself and how she lost her virginity, along with embarrassment at realizing just what happened when she was conceived.
"Curious about what?!" Said Izumi in annoyance that they weren't saying anything, with Mordred getting up and going over to her.
The Academy student getting annoyed at the close proximity, only for her eyes to widen when Mordred whispered in her ear. Izumi's mouth falling open while a blush grew on her face at what her half-sister was saying. Once Mordred pulled back, Izumi's eyes darted between her parents in shock and disbelief.
"K-Kaa-san?" Izumi said, not believing her kind and gentle mother would something like…that.
"We just started dating! And I wanted to…try new things!" Said Hinata in embarrassment at her daughter learning this.
"What kind of new things Kaa-chan?" Himawari asked innocently while tilting her head, making Mordred, Izumi, Hinata and Naruto freeze at remembering she was also here.
"You'll learn when you're older!" Said Izumi quickly, not wanting to expose her innocent little sister to anything like that.
This made Himawari frown and look at everyone, before pouting and crossing her arms that they wouldn't tell her what they were talking about.
"Okay, fine, you were alright with it Kaa-san. But why weren't we told?" Izumi asked with a frown, wanting to know why they didn't say anything about them having an older sister.
"I'd like to know that too. Why wasn't I told who you were from the start?" Questioned Mordred while looking at Naruto, with Izumi looking at her in surprise, having assumed she knew who her father was from the beginning.
"That…was something we all agreed on, me, Hinata and Shion. None of us had the easiest childhoods, me and Shion grew up alone while Hinata had unbelievable expectations forced onto her. And we didn't want that for you, Mordred. To grow up here in Konoha, where you'd just be seen as the daughter of the Hokage and the expectations that would be placed on you because of it. Along with wanting to protect you from any potential stigma that would come from being my illegitimate child, despite Hinata being perfectly fine with it. So we thought it'd be better if you just grew up in the Land of Demons with Shion, who'd tell you the truth once she felt you were ready and let you decide what you wanted to do with the information." Naruto replied, having hoped at least one of his children could have a normal childhood.
As while he wasn't around much, he knew how everyone talked about Izumi and seeing her as a prodigy with her skill and talent, just from being his daughter. Which he knew lead to her having a high opinion of herself, bragging about her abilities, and believing she can do everything on her own. And people were fully expecting Himawari to become a Ninja just because of her lineage, despite her not even being in the Academy yet.
He'd hoped that Mordred would have a normal childhood and when she learned the truth, she'd get to make her own choice of what she wanted to do.
This surprised Mordred, Izumi and Himawari, before the latter two looked at their half-sister.
"And you chose to come here?" Izumi asked rhetorically, with Mordred nodding in response.
"Yeah, since I just learned my Tou-san was the same person who helped win the Fourth Shinobi World War and being named the Nanadaime Hokage, I wanted to meet him more than anything. And when I learned about you two…I also hoped to get to know my half-sisters as well." Replied Mordred while smiling at the two hopefully, which Himawari eagerly returned before getting up and hugging her.
"Yay! Now I have two Onee-chans!" Himawari cheered, happy that she had two big sisters to spend time with now, with Mordred and Izumi both being surprised at her action.
"Why didn't you show yourself Mordred? If you've been here for five years, why did you wait so long?" Hinata asked, wondering why Mordred waited so long to reveal herself.
"Like I said, I just learned my Tou-san was a hero and being named the Nanadaime Hokage, I was scared. I never really had any training to be a Ninja, then I see he's the strongest Ninja in the world and one of the most important, I didn't think I could live up to someone like that. So I thought if I became a Ninja like him, one of the strongest in there is, then I could reveal myself knowing I could make him proud of how strong I was. And I did after becoming a Jōnin and completing my best and original Jutsu." Mordred explained, much to their shock, mostly Izumi and Himawari that she's already a Jōnin, and that she's created her own original Jutsu.
"You're a Jōnin?! How?!" Said Izumi in shock that Mordred was only two years older than her and already a Jōnin, along with feeling jealous as her pride took a serious hit at how big of a gap just formed between them.
"I train…a lot." Said Mordred with a smirk, much to the other blondes annoyance.
"Mordred, you didn't have to do all of that." Naruto said, not caring if his daughters were Ninja, what rank they were, or if they became something else, he'd be proud of them just for making their own choices in what they wanted.
"Maybe, but it helped me become a lot stronger." Mordred stated with a shrug, since becoming a Ninja did let her become much stronger, along with meeting Videl and Kallen.
"Well, what are going to do now?" Naruto asked, wondering what she'll do now, if she'll stay a Ninja or decide to go back to the Land of Demons.
"I was hoping to stay to hopefully get to know you better, along with the rest of you, along with probably train and keep doing missions. I could even help you with your training." Mordred said while looking at Izumi, who crossed her arms in annoyance.
"I'm doing just fine myself." Said Izumi, still feeling her damaged pride and now wanting to show her that she can get stronger without any help.
"If you insist, but the offers there." Replied Mordred before noticing the time on the clock.
"It's getting late, so I should be leaving now." Mordred said going to return to her apartment.
"You could stay here if you want, there's a spare bedroom you could have." Hinata offered, surprising Mordred at the offer before shaking her head.
"No, it's fine, but thanks." Mordred said, not wanting to impose or just suddenly move in with them.
"Okay, but it's there if you change your mind." Said Hinata, getting a nod from the Jōnin before she nodded to Naruto as well, who returned it.
"Bye-bye Onee-chan, see you tomorrow!" Himawari said while hugging Mordred again, much to her surprise, before she slowly patted her on the head.
"Uh…see you tomorrow too, Himawari." Mordred replied, not used to suddenly being called "Onee-chan" or how accepting she's being, before she looked at Izumi.
"…I'm not hugging you and don't even think of giving me a head pat." Stated Izumi, still annoyed at everything she's learned and the fact her half-sister was so much stronger than her.
"Okay, but I do hope to see you too." Said Mordred, wanting to try and develop a bond between her and Izumi, before holding out her hand to her.
Looking at the offered a hand for a few moments, Izumi let out a huff before shaking it.
"Whatever, I'm going to bed." Izumi said before heading off to her room, with Naruto and Hinata sighing, knowing it'll be difficult to accept for her.
"Just give her time, Izumi can be pretty stubborn, but she means well." Said Naruto, knowing his second daughter can be difficult and stubborn just like him, but despite her flaws she never looked down on anyone and was loyal to her friends.
Mordred simply nodded in understanding, given she can be pretty stubborn herself, along with having a rather short fuse which can lead to her getting angry easily whenever she's set off. So she understood that Izumi will take a while to come around.
Having nothing left to say, Mordred took her leave, no longer feeling her earlier nervousness, and instead feeling relief that it went better than she expected. But the whiskered blonde knew that not everything would that easy and that there would still be problems and challenges to deal with.
And she couldn't wait to show them what happens when anyone or anything tries messing with her.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we get a familiar beginning of Mordred arriving in Konoha during Naruto's inauguration and deciding to become a Ninja, where things start changing. Such as Hanabi being her Jōnin Instructor, along with revealing her teammates Videl Satan and Kallen Kōzuki, along with downplaying Mordred's abilities, making it so while she's strong she's not OP, along wit actually growing close to her teammates (very close as it's later revealed). Before we then have her reveal herself to Naruto, who while still shocked at seeing her in Konoha, doesn't tell her to simply leave and instead just needs time to process, with him heading home to talk to Hinata, who was aware of Mordred being in Konoha thanks to a message from Shion, leading to Naruto planning to talk to Mordred, Himawari, and Izumi (Fem!Boruto, not named Boruko since it doesn't really have the same ring as Naruko). Then we see Mordred meeting with Videl and Kallen with some light teasing along with revealing just how close they are after a drunken one-night stand, along with Mordred revealing her identity to them and why she didn't tell them, with both girls thankfully not hating her or seeing her different. Finally we then see Mordred meeting the rest of the Uzumaki family with things being explained for why and when she was born, and why she wasn't in Konoha, with Hinata having been fine with it (even more so that she got to join in on the fun), with Himawari is excited at having another big sister while Izumi will be needing some time to come around. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
Storm out
