I don't own Naruto or Mystic Knights.
I thank everyone who has reviewed this story so far. Now onto chapter 4
Naruto was heading to the Hokage's tower to tell him what just happened with his team test.
"You know we're probably going to get put on Hinata's team now" Scorch said from Naruto's shoulder.
"Yeah, I just hope Jiji has found someone who can help us learn to wield our weapons. I also wonder who our third teammate will be" Naruto replied to him while scratching him under the chin.
Scorch purred a bit before he asked "Do you think we'll be able to find the other two successor's as quickly as we found Hinata and Choji?"
"I don't know. Only time will tell" Naruto answered, still scratching Scorch's chin.
When they got to the tower they went right into the Hokage's office before his secretary could stop them. Inside they found Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai there along with two other people.
The first was a tall blonde haired man with blue eyes that looked a little like Ino.
The second was a woman with purple hair, brown eyes, and wearing an ANBU outfit with a sword on her back.
Everyone turned to look at Naruto as he walked in.
"Well it seems that the person we were talking about has decided to show up" the Hokage said with a chuckle.
"You were all here talking about me?" Naruto asked while tilting his head.
"Yes we were" Kurenai said with a smile.
"We were discussing how each team did on passing their team exams and your transfer from Team 7 to Team 8" the Hokage said while looking at everyone in the room before stopping his gaze on Kakashi. "Kakashi you and Kurenai will be trading Naruto Uzumaki for Kiba Inuzuka. I expect you to let your new genin teammate know of the change right away. Understood."
Kakashi nodded and said "Hai Hokage-sama" before disappearing in a swirl of leaves.
"Alright, now on to the rest of the meeting. Naruto, this man is Inoichi Yamanaka, he will be helping you with the stat of your mindscape" the Hokage pointed to the blonde haired man. "And this is Yugao Uzuki she will be teaching you Kenjutsu along with Hinata and Choji" pointing at the purple haired woman.
"Um, Hokage-sama I see that Naruto-san has a sword, but what weapons will Hinata-san and Choji-san be using?" Yugao asked him with a tilt of her head towards Naruto.
"Hinata will be using a bow while Choji will be wielding a large war hammer" he told her.
Yugao sighed "I can teach Naruto-san to use his sword, but I have no knowledge of how to use a bow or a war hammer. Though I think I know someone who can help me teach them how to use them."
The Hokage scratched his chin for a second before he answered "They can help teach them how to wield them, but you will not tell them how or why they got them. Understood."
Yugao bowed "Hai, Hokage-sama" she then turned to Naruto "We will meet three times a week at training ground 25 so that I can start your training in they ways of the sword" she then looked a Kurenai and Asuma "I expect Hinata-san and Choji-san to be there as well. I will get together with you two later to setup our training schedules."
Kurenai and Asuma both nodded before Yugao disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
"Now that that's set I am now going to reveal to you Naruto the legacy your parents left for you and who they were. I trust Kurenai as your sensei to keep this secret as well as Asuma because he will be helping with your team training as the new Mystic Knights. Inoichi you can stay as I know you would learn this anyway by helping Naruto with his mindscape and any possible mental trama he might have" the Hokage said as he got up and went to the picture of the Fourth Hokage on the wall. He then took the picture off the wall and channeled chakra into the wall just beneath the nail.
A square section of the wall where he was channeling his chakra to lit up and then slid to the side. He reached in and took out two scrolls. After that he put the picture back up and returned to his chair behind the desk while setting the two scrolls on the desk.
"Each one of these scrolls is from you parents. One from your father and one from your mother. They are your now along with anything they sealed inside them" the Hokage motioned for Naruto to take the scrolls.
When he picked them up he saw that one had the Hokage's seal on it and the other one had them same spiral on it that was on the back of his jumpsuit as well as on the outfits of the Chunin's through Jonin's and multiple places throughout the village.
"Jiji, what's up with this spiral? I've seen it everywhere. It's even on the back of my jumpsuit" Naruto asked him.
The Hokage chuckled "That is the symbol of your clan Naruto."
"Wait, I have a clan?" He asked.
"Yes, but you are the last member of the Uzumaki clan that I know of. Which was your mother's clan. You are also the last member of your father's clan, but I'll let you find out their name by reading his scroll to you" he told him bowing his head.
Naruto looked at both scrolls trying to decide which one to open first. Finally he decided to open the one with his mother's clan symbol on it.
Dear Naruto-kun,
If you are reading this then I have passed on. There is so much I want to tell you, but the most important thing is that I love you very much.
Now you should be either a Genin or about to get married, hopefully the former not the later right now. What I want to tell you is that you are the last descendent of the Uzumaki clan. In fact you are also the last of the Uzumaki leading family. I was sent from our home village to come to Konohagakure no sato to become the second container for the Kyuubi no Kitsune. After I left my home village of Uzushiogakure no sato it was attacked and destroyed by three other ninja villages. I have no idea if there are any other survivors. The reason it was attacked and destroyed was because our clan were the greatest seal masters in the whole of the Elemental Nations and we were feared because of what we could do with them. I'm sorry to have to tell you this sad news, but you would have found out either from your father of during the History lessons at the academy.
Though if you find anyone with red hair and green eyes ask them where they are from or where their parents are from. You might be able to find some lost relatives out there.
Now onto happier subjects. When I got here I was scared and very lonely, but that changed when I meet my first friend, Hiori Hyuga. We grew up together playing pranks on people, expescialy her clan. Very stuck up.
Eventually we graduated the academy and got put on the same Genin team together along with another girl named Mikoto Uchiha. Our Genin sensei was Lady Tsunade Senju. We were feared by many of our enemies as well as a few of our allies. Mikoto gained the nickname of the Black Death, Hiori the Queen of Angels, and me the Red Doom. That was during the Third Great Shinobi war.
It was also during this time that each of us meet and began dating our future husbands. For Mikoto it was Fugoku Uchiha, Hiori fell for Hiashi Hyuga, and I snatched up Minato Namikaze. Oh, if your wondering my friends husbands were not realated to their wives other than their clan names.
Mikoto got married first and had her first child named Itachi. It took a couple of years after that that Hiori and I got married to our husbands, though mine was in secret. After that though the three of us got pregnant at about the same time, with Mikoto due first then me followed by Hiori. It was much later that Mikoto and I found out that we were going to have sons, while Hiori was told she was going to have a daughter. It was a great joy to all three of us. Even greater to Hiori and I because it meant that we could join our families together like we always wanted.
What I'm leading up to, and please forgive me for this if it makes you mad my wonderful son, is that Hiori and I set up a betrothal between her daughter and you.
You will find a copy of that document in the seal at the bottom of this scroll along with a key to your family estate and all of our bank records so that you can access those accounts now that you are old enough.
Love your mother Kushina Uzumaki-Namikaze.
Naruto looked at the seal on the bottom of the scroll before he looked up to the Hokage "Jiji, she loved me. She didn't abandon me, she actually loved me." He then broke down crying.
Everyone in the room was silent until he gained control of himself. He then put his hand over the seal on the scroll and channeled chakra into it. After a small puff of smoke it revealed a single key, a large ledger, and another scroll. He picked up the scroll and opened it, looking over it very quickly to find out the name of the girl he was betrothed to. When he got to it his legs collapsed as he fell to the floor.
"What's that scroll about?" Kurenai asked.
He handed it to her, which she read through and smiled about when she was done.
"Care to inform us about what's in the scroll?" Asuma asked her.
"It seems that Naruto's mom, one Kushina Uzumaki, and another woman named Hiori Hyuga set up a betrothal with her daughter. Which just so happens to be Hinata Hyuga" she told them starting to laugh.
The cigarette fell from Asuma's mouth "You have got to be kidding me!"
"No, she's quite right. I remember signing that document myself, because she knew Minato wouldn't sign it. Though Hiashi wasn't such a stick in the mud at the time though" the Hokage told them with a chuckle.
"Wait did you say Minato, as in Minato Namikaze the Fourth Hokage?" Kurenai asked.
The Hokage nodded "Yes, he was her husband. I witnessed the marriage myself along with a handful of others. It was done in secret, because if word got out that Konoha's Yellow Flash and Red Doom had gotten married it would have brought the rest of the Elemental Nations against us. Probably destroying our village."
Everyone in the room was stunned. They then looked at Naruto waiting for him to do or say something.
He stood up and took a deep breath before he opened the scroll from his father, the Fourth Hokage.
I'm going to end this chapter on a bit of a cliff hanger.
I know there wasn't much interaction between Naruto and the other Mystic Knights (Past or Present), but I'm trying to get some things set up and it's going to take time for me to get to the real action. Like training and getting Naruto to really look at Hinata as more than a teammate. In addtion there are other things going on in the back ground that can't be mentioned here but I hope will keep you all intrigued.
I thank you all for following this story this long and all I ask is just to keep reading and reviewing.
