So here is another chapter to WASIDR. I just realized that's a really terrible abbreviation.

Responses to reviews:

Illuminated: I see your point but when I wrote it I saw the kyuubi festival as basically a big St. Patrick's Day, or really any other holiday that involves parting and drinking. That's why I didn't think to have him bee more suspicious. He would have to put some people through some very tough interrogation for no reason and would have made him look bad. Fights are just a common thing when people, especially ninjas, drink. I should have maybe elaborated on the more.

Warning this will be an MA fic. It will have foul language, blood, gore, attempted rape, probably cold blooded sadistic murder, and most likely lemons and limes.

Chapter 3: Explanations

Naruto's Mindscape

Naruto awoke in the dying forest again and headed towards the gate he found last time. When he got there this time the Kyuubi wasn't alone. Standing in front of the cage was a tall man with spiky blonde hair and beautiful woman with waist-length blood red hair. Naruto recognized the man easy enough. It was his hero the Yondaime Hokage. As he got closer he could see they were talking to the kyuubi and did not look happy. When they noticed his approach they immediately quit talking and turned to face him, seeing confusion in his expression.

No one spoke for a few moments until the woman could no longer contain herself. She ran to Naruto faster than he could see and swept him up in a hug.

"I'm so glad I finally get to see you," cried the woman with tears running down her face.

At first Naruto did know what to do. He started to struggle to get away but after he realized that she wasn't trying to hurt him he calmed down.

"Uhm… who are you and how did you get here?" He asked very confused at what was happening. This only made the woman squeal about how cute he was and hug him tighter. He started feeling the need for air. A part of him would wonder how that was possible after he learned that this was his mindscape.

After being released from the hug she set him down and decided to try to get this awkward part over as soon as possible. "My name is Kushina Uzumaki and I am your mother Naruto-kun." It was this sentence that would change his life forever.

At first he was uncertain of how to react. Several emotions went through him all at once, happiness, confusion, anger, disappointment. After a moment when he gathered his thoughts he asked the first question that any kid was ask.

"How can you be my mother? She is dead. And if you weren't dead, where have you been?" That was what he been told his entire life and he was having a hard time believing what she said was true.

Her face turned it a small frown as she began her explanation. "Naruto-kun what I am going to tell you will be hard to believe at first but just let me explain before you ask any questions. First I am dead." Hearing that Naruto jumped back "Ghost!" He screamed while cowering away from her.

Kushina only giggled a little before continuing, "I am only partially here. I am sorry that we couldn't be there for you. Given what happened this was the best we could manage. I am only a part my previous self, a soul shard. I tore off a piece of my soul in order to see you when you would be old enough to understand. I am not a ghost." Kushina explained Naruto who relaxed a little as the blonde man walked up to them.

"Ok if you're my mother then why is the fourth hokage here?" He asked trying to piece things together.

"That's an easy question to answer. I am you father Naruto-kun," stated the Yondaime. As Naruto tried to start questioning him he was silenced by the blonde man" let your mother and I explain before you ask too many questions so that we can make the best use of our time here."

They explained the event that led up to the sealing and how they sealed part of their souls in him so they could see him on all his birthdays and hopefully teach him few thing about their lives to give him some semblance of family. They told him about how he would slowly absorb their skills and knowledge of jutsus and techniques. They however could decide when he was ready for certain ones which he would only be shown during one of their meetings.

After this explanation Naruto was starting to get excited "wait until I tell people I'm your son there's no way they'll be mean to me after that." His hopes were quickly dashed.

"I am afraid you can't tell anyone about us Naruto-kun. We had many powerful enemies that are no doubt still alive and would stop at nothing to kill or kidnap you just for being our son. You have to promise me you won't tell. Not until you are strong enough to handle our enemies or be able to run away at least. And you can't tell anyone you know about the big guy here until your older," he points to the kyuubi, "and I wouldn't tell anybody unless you are absolutely sure you can trust them."

"Ok I promise I won't say anything" he says while staring at the ground feeling and looking his favorite toy had just been taken away.

"This is for your own good Naruto. In time, when you get stronger, you will be able to tell people." After this they showed Naruto how to unlock his chakra and a few chakra exercises to do in order to gain better control and grow his chakra. They of course left out the seal that would take half his chakra every day. His mother gave him some ideas for pranks he could pull on people who were mean to him or just for fun much to the chagrin of his father.

Next was the conversation about his possible blood lines. "Naruto-kun there is a good chance that you are going to develop two blood lines. The first being the Uzumaki Chakra Chains that when properly trained, are pretty much unbreakable. Only certain Uzumakis get these and there is a very good chance you will have them since I did. You can't let anyone ever see these because they will know right away who you really are" Said Kushina trying to impress upon him how important this was.

"You may also develop the Sharingan." At this Naruto flipped.

"I'm and Uchiha? Why do they treat me so bad if I am one of them?" He puzzled.

"They don't know that you are. Just like they didn't know that I was. My father left the Clan long ago and I never belonged to the clan." His father explained. At hearing this Naruto asked the obvious follow up question.

"Who was your father?"

"Madara Uchiha"

"But he died fighting Hashirama Senju at the end of that valley place." This shocked both of his parents at how smart he was.

"The Valley of the End. And no he didn't. He was critically injured. He gave up fighting after that but he taught me how to be a ninja before he died. He brought me to the village before he died and told me never to reveal my true heritage."

Naruto cold only nod at this before his mother got his attention. At this point he was not sure what to expect.

"Naruto-kun I think I should tell you about my parents too. My mother's name is Tsunade Senju and my father was named Kenshi Uzumaki. I know tou-san is dead but kaa-chan may still be alive. But she probably doesn't know about you if you have never met her."

As Naruto was taking all this in kyuubi decided to speak.

"I believe I should introduce myself properly and make a few corrections to your parent's words" the kyuubi said getting weird looks from the boy's parents. "My name is Kurama and I will tell you more about myself when we have more time. You will not develop the Sharingan," at this Minato looked disappointed, confused, and started asking questions.

"What do you mean he won't develop the Sharingan? Did I mess something up with the seal?" he said frantically hoping that he didn't cause his son to lose part of who he is. Naruto looked down too, but this didn't last for long.

"Let me finish and I will explain. I believe he will develop something called the Rinne-Sharingan, also known as the Shi no Me. Eyes of death. This is a mix of the Rinnegan and Sharingan." Kurama explained.

"I don't understand. How is that possible?" asked a very confused Minato.

Kurama explained that it was because he was the first to have the blood of The Uzumaki, Senju, and Uchiha since The mother of the Sage of Six Paths. These eyes were something that not even the sage wielded, deciding to elaborate more when Naruto actually awakened them. They then moved on to other matters such using the kyuubi's chakra. They told him only to use it as a last resort and there was no other way. Kushina showed him another chakra control exercises to push back this chakra should he ever pull too much and lose control but, told him to practice it away from people, just in case, until he mastered it and never where someone could sense him.

When there time began to grow short Minato decided he needed to get in some final explanations before they left. "Kurama-san here is not the demon people believe him to be. He was forced to attack the village." At this Kurama growled at the memory. "He was a good friend to your mother and he is going to be your friend and help you. " They then told Naruto the full story of what happened the night he was born.

Naruto Look up at the massive fox to see him nodding his head and that made him smile. He would finally have a friend. At that time Minato walked over to the gate and ripped to seal off, opening the gate. After their goodbyes Naruto felt himself being pulled back into the real world.

Naruto's Bedroom

When Naruto woke up it was the next morning. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes he spoke to himself "what a weird dream. There's no way they could have really been my parents and the whole Kurama thing. Maybe I hit my head."

"It was not dream kit. I am very real."

"But you're so big how do you fit?" asked Naruto. He just couldn't figure it out.

Kurama chuckled a little before answering. "Firstly, I am in a seal, as such size doesn't really matter. Second don't speak out loud when you want to talk to me. Just think what you want to say and I will gear you. Don't want people thinking you've gone crazy or that I have taken you over. OK"

'Ok you mean like this' Naruto tried thinking his words.

"Yes just like that. Now I have a few things to tell you. Since your father opened the seal you are going to get some of my senses. You should be realizing about now that you can hear, see, and smell much better than before."

As Kurama was saying this Naruto noticed he could smell how old and dusty his apartment was. He could smell the garbage dumpsters outside his apartment complex and even the food that the street vendors were selling a few blocks away thanks to his open window. He noticed that he could hear other people in his apartment complex having the breakfast table conversations. Sadly many were about how they should move now that the demon lives there. He looked out his window and could see a great amount of detail on the Hokage Monument. "You're right I can but what is the other feeling I have. It's like I can feel some of the people here are angry and some are happy. There are lots of other weird things too." Naruto said while trying to figure it out.

"That is the last sense that you have gained from me, the ability to sense emotions of all kinds even intentions to a point. This will make it impossible for someone to sneak up on you, especially if they intend to harm you or someone near you."

"I see now. That is so cool I'm going to be the best ninja ever." He shouted with out loud only to quickly slap his hand over his mouth. 'Oops'.

"Alright that's enough gloating. Head to a training ground that hasn't been used in a while, we are going to start your tor… err I mean training" Kurama said with an evil smile Naruto could feel.

One Year later

Naruto was running again. It was his Sixth birthday and the Kyuubi festival was in full swing. This was the first attempt since his last birthday from anybody trying to hurt him. He knew he could escape from most of the pursuers with ease, but he also noticed that the two ANBU, who had been following him for the last year every time he left his home when he headed into town, were staying with the chase from the shadows. He could feel that they were angry but that it wasn't aimed at him. He would have just lost the others but he didn't want anybody to know what he could to.

Kurama had been working him into the ground five days a week and making him eat healthy. Combined with his already him stamina from being both a jinchuuriki and Uzumaki he could train for hours every day and still had energy to play with the few remaining friends he had on his off days. He'd mainly focused on chakra control and physical conditioning. He had learned how tree walk and water walk and was about to start on what they called the academy three. Henge, Substitution, and Clone jutsus. They had found that with enough practice he didn't need the Control seal for tree and water walking and that made Naruto was determined not to rely on it. Kurama told him the less he did the better of a Ninja he would be.

This time Naruto didn't make the mistake of turning down a dead end and instead headed for an open training ground. When he arrived he turned to face his pursuers.

"What do you want with me? I never did anything to you." Naruto snarled out. He knew why they were after him but he had also figured out that before the ANBU could do anything they had to either attack him or break the Hokage's Law about Kurama.

"What do we want with? Don't play dumb. You know what you did. You killed my parent's demon," Stated a chunin that was among the group.

"We are here to finish what the Yondaime started," stated another. Several others had similar things to say as they began to close on him. He wasn't worried though. As soon as they got with striking distance the two ANBU he sensed flickered between him and the crowd. Within seconds the entire mob was unconscious and on the ground.

It was then that the Hokage showed up with 10 more ANBU. "Take these people to Ibiki and tell him to have fun," he sneered.

"HAI Hokage-sama" responded the men as the each grabbed two members of the mob and flickered away. The Hokage then turned to Naruto "are you alright Naruto-kun," he asked with worry in his eyes.

"I'm fine Jiji I am just glad those two were following me the whole time. This is the first time anybody has tried to hurt me since my last birthday. I figured it was because they," he motions to Dog and Weasel," were always following me."

At this revelation Hiruzen was quite stunned. A six-year-old boy knew two of his best ANBU had been following him the whole time. Dog and Weasel looked equally stunned, behind their masks, with a little bit of shame thrown in. Hiruzen just had to know how this was possible. "Naruto-kun how did you know they were there?"

Without hesitating he said, "I can hear them." Kurama had told him this would be the best excuse to give because while it was true it was also the one that would garner the least suspicion.

"Naruto-kun they are two of my best. What do you hear when the follow you." He was not ready for Naruto's response.

"Well jiji when they move, they don't make any noise, but their heartbeats always give them away." This seemingly simple answer set the old hokage's head spinning. 'He can hear someone's heartbeat. I wonder if this is because of the fox. It doesn't sound like what I would expect but I will have to keep better watch from now on.' Though Hiruzen while looking for any trace of a lie. He again saw something that told him he was telling the truth but that there might be more to it than he let on.

4 Months Later- Roof top of Naruto's Apartment Building.

Naruto was enjoying the cool night air. This was the first time since his fifth birthday that he didn't see, hear, smell, or sense Dog and Weasel. They had taken off about 20 minutes ago in quite a hurry. Naruto had heard their radios say something about a possible kidnapping in the clan district. He didn't think much of it and used it as an excuse to relax and be himself for the first time in a long time. Sure he let them see him train but to the outside observer it looked just like anything that the clan children would normally do.

As Naruto was sitting there something caught his attention. Pure unbridled fear, coming from one person and a small amount of fear mixed with cautious joy. These emotions were a new combination to him and he decided to ask Kurama what this could mean.

'Hey Kurama do you sense that' he asked in his head.

"Yes. It could be the kidnap victim and kidnapper. If that is the case then they have made it past the ANBU. We should probably go check it out."

'Yeah you're right. It would be right to just leave them to their fate. Not if I want to be Hokage someday.' With that he jumped off in the direction of the kidnapper. When he crossed the kidnapper scent and caught the scent of the victim he saw red.

"HINATA-CHAN" he growled out, "THEY TOOK HINATA-CHAN!"

He was unconsciously channeling some of Kurama's chakra to his muscles to give him some extra speed as he raced of in the direction of the scent.

It only took him about five minutes to catch up with the kidnapper and to his horror all he saw was a guy dressed in black with a sack on his back. The fear he could sense and Hinata's scent were both coming from the bag. Before the man realized he was there Naruto had launched a kunai at the man's arm holding the sack. It was only through many years of experience that he managed to dodge the kunai.

"Who did that?" asked them man turning around and seeing no one. He was dressed in all black the only thing showing were a pair of dark green eyes. As he was scanning the area for his attacker another kunai came from the side. This time his eyes landed on Naruto who was doing his best to come up with a plan now that he had been spotted.

"It's just a kid? Get out of here before I kill you kid, quit trying to be a hero." He sneered at Naruto. He couldn't believe he thought that he would have a fight on his hands. He didn't have time to mess around with a kid.

"Give back Hinata-chan." Naruto demanded trying not to show any fear. He could feel how strong the man was and knew he would be no match for him. 'Any ideas Kurama' he asked to the fox.

"Just one but it might hurt"

'What is it?'

"Flare my chakra as high as you can handle then try to keep him busy until every ninja in the village shows up."

'That sounds painful. Plus, what's going to happen after this? If you think they hate me now wait until this is over' Naruto deadpanned back.

"Do you have a better idea?"

'Sadly no.' with that Naruto gather as much of Kurama's chakra as he could take and released it all at once. Just as the fox promised, it hurt, a lot. It also accomplished his goal as every ninja in the village was awake and headed in their direction fearing the worst.

When he was hit by the chakra flare the kidnapper's eyes went as wide as they could. He had felt chakra like this before and he wanted no part of it. Jinchuuriki were bad news no matter how old they were. He was about to turn and run when he noticed that Naruto faltered a little bit, obviously in a lot of pain. He realized that he couldn't use his Biju and opted to take the boy with him or kill him to weaken Konoha. It was win-win for him.

He rushed Naruto in an attempt to knock him out as quickly as possible. Kurama had mean while made sure Naruto's gravity and resistance seals were all the way off. With this speed boost Naruto managed to avoid the worst of the assault but was still knocked into a tree but was not hurt too bad. The attacker tried again, this time going for a full force kick in the stomach. He landed it but hadn't notice the kunai in Naruto's hand. The force of the kick nearly folded Naruto in half. At the same time Naruto had somehow tracked the incoming kick and made an attempt to stab the leg of the attacker. Due to a combination of the two Naruto succeeded in stabbing the cloaked man in the side of the thigh.

"You little brat, looks like you have to die. I can't carry you both of you with a hurt leg. Oh well not my problem." He sneered as he approached the boy preparing to kill him. Just as he went to stab the half-conscious blonde in the heart he was suddenly thrown back.

Naruto had seen, through blurry vision, the man in black approach. He could feel pain in his stomach but that seemed like nothing compared to the burning coming from his eyes. As the man aimed his kunai at Naruto's chest his eyes quit burning and everything suddenly became much clearer. Time seemed to slow and he could see where the kunai would him. Out of pure instinct he raised his hands and muttered "Shinra Tensei" only to see the masked man fly backwards.

He managed to stand up and looked at the bag containing Hinata had been dropped 20 meters to the side of where the two were no facing each other. When the masked man regained his bearings and met Naruto's eyes, he felt a fear that he hadn't in a long time.

The boy's eyes were red with black pupils and ripples surrounding the center. There were two tomoe on the first ripple in each eye.

Having never seen or heard of this doujutsu he decided to grab his prize and leave while he still had a chance to outrun the ninja's that were no doubt closing on their position. Looking between the boy and the bag containing the young, and most importantly unbranded, Hyuuga he made his choice and darted towards the bag. Just as he was almost there it was suddenly gone.

Naruto had seen the fear in his eyes and his brief internal debate before he bolted for the bag containing Hinata. Acting on instinct again he pointed his hands towards the bag and whispered "Bansho Tenin". With that the bag that had Hinata flew into his hands just before the masked ninja could grab it. Placing Hinata behind him he pulled out his last kunai and spoke. "If you want her you have to get through me," he tried to act brave but his voice still came out shaky.

Not wanting to waste any more time the man charged and plunged a kunai into Naruto's left lung. He thought he had won until he felt warm liquid running down his chest and lots of pain in his throat. He had stabbed the boy but the boy had used his single minded focus to get him as well. The last thing the mad saw was Naruto's red eyes staring down at him with pain and fear.

Hinata had crawled out just in time to see Naruto get hit and stab the other ninja at the same time. As the masked man fell Naruto fell to his knees. Before he could fall face first Hinata caught him.

"Naruto-kun!" she tried to go on but was sobbing thinking he was going to die and it was all her fault.

"Hinata-chan," he got her attention, "don't tell anyone what about what you are going to see." She looked at him confused but nodded none the less. With that focused chakra into his medical seal, placed a glowing green over his wound, and began healing his own wound. Hinata had to blink to make sure she wasn't seeing things. When he stopped Hinata couldn't believe her eyes. Her best friend had been dying a few minutes ago and now his fatal wound was all but healed. He was very tired and still had many cuts and scrapes but none of them were life threatening.

She was about to ask him how he did that when Dog and Weasel Showed up. Be for they could do more than asses the situation and the children, the Hokage and his squad of ANBU arrived on the scene. Seeing Hinata kneeling next to Naruto who was still covered in his own blood with Dog standing between him and a dead man dressed in all black with a kunai still in his throat he was able to put the event of what happened together pretty quick.

"Naruto-kun Hinata-chan, are you two ok?" He asked

Hinata started to speak up "Naruto's hurt he," but Naruto interrupted her. "I'm fine jiji. Just a few cuts and bruises I'll be fine in the morning. "He said told the old kage while giving Hinata a pleading look that asked her to let it go for now. After speaking with Dog and getting a brief description of what he believes happened while Weasel attended to Hinata and Naruto.

When they finished speaking two more ANBU squads showed up, along with half the Hyuuga clan. Hiruzen had the ANBU turn back all the ninja's that had come to stop the kyuubi saying everything was under control. While relieved, Hiashi had a reputation to protect and couldn't have his daughter associated with the boy in front of this many members of his clan.

"What happened here? Who is that man?" Hiashi asked as the ANBU went to unmask the now dead kidnapper. When his mask was pulled off it was revealed to be the ambassador from Kumo that had left earlier that day after signing a new treaty with Konoha. It became immediately obvious that the treaty was a pretext to get into the village. The hokage decided he would fill in the rest.

"It would appear that Naruto tracked down the Kumo-nin and delayed him long enough for Dog and Weasel to arrive. It also appears that the chakra surge came from when he was injured attempting to save young Hinata-chan." The hokage explained try to give certain details while at the same time keeping it as vague as possible. Seeing that there was more to the story but nothing he would get to hear tonight Hiashi decide to take his leave.

"Hinata come we must leave. Your mother took a turn for the worst because of this and you must stay away from that boy. He is not safe." Hiashi said while throwing an apologetic glance at Naruto, one that the hokage caught and made a mental note to check up on later. Hinata was confused but went with her father quietly, concern for her mother winning out over her curiosity of her father's treatment of Naruto.

"Naruto-kun I think we better talk in my office." Sarutobi said with no mirth in his voice. Naruto merely nodded and followed.

Hokage's Office

When they got into his office Naruto sat in a chair in front of the Hokage's desk and Hiruzen sat in his chair behind the desk.

"Ok Naruto I want the full story. I know that you did the first chakra pulse on purpose to get everyone's attention. What I want to know it how."

Seeing now way around it he spoke, "could you ask your ANBU to leave. I only want to tell you."

Hiruzen's eyes went wide. "How did you know there are ANBU in here?"

Naruto just sighed and responded with, "well you already know I can here there heart beats, but I can see and smell them as well." This worried Sarutobi even more. Even he couldn't see them. He waved them out and three out of four left people in the room left. Naruto just looked at Sarutobi expectantly and got a confused look in return.

"What about him?" Naruto asked while pointing to left side of his book case. In a flash that Naruto couldn't even see Hiruzen had moved to where Naruto pointed and put a kunai through the man's throat, dispelling his chameleon jutsu in the process. Seeing a blank white mask with 'NE' on it he instantly knew who the man served.

"Danzo" he ground out, "always putting his nose where it doesn't belong."

"Who is Danzo?" Naruto asked.

"Danzo is the man who tried to adopt you over two years ago. This is what he wanted to turn you into." He said pointing at the now dead ROOT agent figuring this would be a good opportunity to keep Naruto away from Danzo. Naruto only shuddered; glad that didn't happen to him. "Now Naruto-kun you have only raised more questions than answered. So first off how did you see, hear, and smell my agents?"

Naruto looked to be in thought but really he had a short conversation with Kurama. 'What should I tell him?' He asked. "Everything minus my cage being unlocked, your bloodlines, my helping you, your parents seeing you on all your birthdays, you absorbing there knowledge, and any other functions that of the seal that he doesn't know about." Was the response he was given. Giving an internal nod he went back to his conversation with to speaking with the hokage. To Hiruzen it looked like he was just looking for a place to start.

"Well let's go back to the beginning. Do you want to tell me who my parents are?" Naruto asked with a smirk.

"Something tells me you already know," Hiruzen countered cautiously. Naruto Nodded and started to explain meeting the fox on his fifth birthday and his parents, leaving out the second and all future meetings he would have along with opening the cage. He explained how his senses got better because of the fox and he gained the abilities to sense emotions. He explained how he was stabbed by the Kumo ninja before he killed him and healed himself being sure to leave out his eye problems. He still hadn't had a chance to speak to Kurama about that.

Hiruzen interrupted him when he got to the part where he said he could see the ANBU again. "How do you see them?" He asked curious.

"Easy," Naruto started, "when someone uses the chameleon jutsu it there control is not just perfect it leaves a small outline where ever they touch a solid object. Most people can't see well enough to notice it but I have no problem seeing it."

Nodding in understanding he allowed Naruto to finish then warned Naruto not to tell anyone who his parents are.

"I have known for over a year and haven't said anything. Do you think I would just go start telling people that now? I don't want that kind of attention. Plus I doubt they would believe me" he finished in a sad tone. Sarutobi nodded sadly agreeing with Naruto.

As Naruto got up to leave there was a knock at the door. The hokage called out for the person to enter and Hiashi Hyuuga walked into the office.

"Good you are still here Naruto-san. I wish to apologize for what I said earlier. I only did it for Hinata's safety." Hiashi started unsure of how to proceed without causing too much trouble for him. He wasn't allowed to say anything about the kyuubi to Naruto and that would make his explanation very hard. Naruto however stepped in and surprised him.

"I know Hiashi-sama. Your clan elders see me as the kyuubi." When Naruto said this Hiashi's eye went wide. He couldn't believe he knew. He threw a glare at Hiruzen who put his hands up and said, "he found out on his own." Naruto gave a short version leaving much out but enough that he would seem truthful.

"I have already spoken with Hitomi-sama about this. She told me not to take it personally and that you don't hate me. Just that you would have to act that way in front of others"

"Yes I see. Very well I must attend to Hitomi-chan as the stress on tonight has caused her illness to accelerate. I am beginning to suspect foul play and don't want to be away from her side for too long." With that he turned to leave before Naruto stopped him.

"If all else fails, I will try something I learned on a while ago. I don't know if it will work on anybody but me but if nothing else does it's worth a shot." Naruto said sounding far too mature for his age. Hiashi nodded and left.

A/N This chapter was supposed to move the story along father than it did but it just kept growing and I am trying to keep these chapters around 5,000 or less words.
