Chapter 2
„Old lies. Open wounds"
[Naruto apartment.]
After a good meal with Hinata, Naruto sadly had to come back to his apartment. It was around 7 pm. With sigh, Blond Uzumaki decided to prepare supper. Once he was done with the last meal of the day, Naruto changed his cloth to pajamas. With small yawn he got into the bed and look at his ceiling. Then he moved his head to see the full moon.
'I wonder if I'll have another dream?' -He thought, while slowly closing his eyes. For some reason he was tired. Maybe because of those visions. He had few of them already.'Let's get some sleep...I'll train with Kage Bunhins tomorrow...' -Suddenly the sleep consumed him.
New dream formed. Naruto was standing in front of Fourth Hokage. The place around them was strange. It was a sewer with bars behing Hokage. Then he saw him, The Kyubi. Why was Fourth Hokage there? Was Naruto dead or something?
Naruto Shippuden OST 1 - Track 07 - Utsusemi
[...Come here, Fourth Hokage! I'll rip you to shreds!...]
[...In that case, I'll stay away from you. Right, Naruto?...]
[...Naruto...My name...How come that the Fourth Hokage knows my name?...]
[...Hm? Well...I'm the one who named you. You are my son, after all...]
[...Son...Then I'm...]
[...Yes. You heard me. You're my son...]
The Future Naruto stared at Fourth Hokage, as tears formed in his eyes. He smiled and laughted. With a snap of Hokage fingers, the two transported somewhere else. It was much calmer place. Heavenly looking, to say at least. Naruto start wiping his tears, while sniffing.
[...Third Hokage didn't tell you much of anything, did he? I quess he wanted to surpass as much information about Kyubi as possible. If people found out that you were my son, you'd have been in danger...]
[...Dad...]
Without a warning, Future Naruto punch Forth Hokage in the stomach.
[...Why did you seal Kyubi inside of your own Son!? Do you know what I went through because of that?! All the grow-ups look at me with hatred...And I couldn't make any friends! I wanted to accept me, so I trained really hard to become strong. Then I met Iruka Sensei, then Kakashi Sensei and Pervy Sage...And I was happy because they helped me become strong! But because of that, a group called Akatsuki came after me, so I had to train even more! I got to be stronger, but they killed my friends! Huh...? What am I saying? Damn it! I'm supposed to be happy or mad? I don't know anymore...]
[...Naruto...How old are you now?...]
[...I'm Sixteen now...]
[...Wow, you really are Sixteen, huh? It must have been hard for you...I'm sorry, Naruto. I suppose that after putting my own son through so much...I have no right to act like father and apologize...]
[...It's all right...already. I'm the son of Fourth Hokage...So I can handle this...]
[...I've sealed half of Kyubi chakra, because I believed that you can control that power. Because you're my son...And there is a reason why I did this...]
But his vision buzzed and suddenly Naruto wake up with a sweat on his face. He panted and look at his hands. He saw as his tears dropping on the quilt of his bed.
"Fourth Hokage...is my father?" -Naruto asked out loud."But why? Why was I lied?"
Then another memory came to him. Not from the Future, but from the Past. About four years ago, Third Hokage visited him in his apartment. When he was leaving, Naruto asked him about his Parents. He remembered Hokage cold words from that day.
[...There is no point of asking. I didn't know them and they not here...]
"He knew and he still lied." -Naruto said as rage was building up. Hokage knew about his parents, yet lied that he didn't know them." -He didn't trust me enought to tell they're important people to the Village. He could tell it was classified. But no...He had to say those awful words. He felt like someone punch him in the face."Old Man...You could trust me. If you would just explain this...I'd never say a word..." -He was mad at Third. He couldn't supress that feeling. But the worst feeling was that of disappointment.
Naruto glanced at the watch and saw that it was 5.00 am. With sigh, he get out of the bed and walked to the window. He lean his forehead on the cold glass and close his eyes. This whole thing with those memories was a total mess. But there were still some many questions. Who are those that group call themself Akatsuki and why were after him? Who is Pervy Sage. But the most important was...Why his father sealed half of Kyubi inside of him and where was the second half. Also how his parents died.
End of ost
He won't inform Third about this. Not now, at least. This was important and very dangerous. But it was a family business. He'll use his future memories to become stronger and prepare himself. Right now, the only person he can trust was Hinata. He'll see who he can trust in near future, but for now...He must become stronger. He'll need Hinata help in that. He can't be found out with new skills.
But first thing first. He needs to know what happend when he was born. There is a person or rather thing that can help him. Naruto shouldn't trust Kyubi, but who knows. But one question remain. How a kid like him can talk to Demon inside of his guts. Better question, can this Demon talk? Maybe those memories explain everything to him soon. Now, he has to prepare. Better start now.
[Training Ground Seven. Half-hour later.]
After arriving at the Training Ground Seven, Naruto had another memory. It was about a bell test that he'll have in the future. It wasn't so important to him. After taking few deep breaths, Naruto created twenty Kage Bunhins.
"Okey, guys! Listen, this is very important!" -Naruto exclaimed and clones looked at him."We need to get stronger in order to stop what happened in the future. If We can, We have to find what happend Ten Years ago, during Kyubi rampage. How Mom and Dad died. What was the reason behind sealing Kyubi in me. Any idea how to force those memories to came out?"
"Maybe We can try meditate?" -One the clones suggested."Iruka Sensei was talking about that one day. It helps concentrate and calm mind."
"Might as well try..." -Naruto agreed with nod."Okey all of you go and try meditate."
His did as he said. Blond turn around to the three poles. He sit down and lean on middle one. He gave a long sigh and rubbed his temples. So much work and no idea how much time he has left. Where is Hinata when you need her, Naruto mused. He need her right now. As if god heard his prays, he heard foot steps heading his way. He look up and saw Hinata with small basket. His eyes winded a little.
"Hello...Naruto kun." -Hinata greeted with small blush. She stopped in front in and kneeled to his level."Is everything okey? Why are your Bunshins meditating?"
"Since you're the closest person I can trust now..." -Naruto paused for a second to collect his thought. Hinata on the other hand blushed like tomato. But she pay attention to him."I had another vision. This it was...just terrible, but at the same time...I'm happy."
"What happend in that vision?" -Hinata asked softly. It's seem that vision was pretty sensitive to Naruto.
"I found out who's my father." -Naruto said with tiny smile."But you won't believe who is it though."
With shrug and smile, Hinata said."Try me..."
"It's Fourth Hokage." -Naruto said and smiled at Hinata shocked expression."Like I said, you wouldn't believe it. I know, I wouldn't."
"No, I do believe you...But it's just sound..." -At that Naruto chuckled.
"Crazy. I know that...He was responsible for sealing Half of Kyubi chakra in me." -Naruto explained to Hinata.
"Half of Kyubi chakra? What happend to the second half?" -Hinata asked and Blond shruged.
"I don't know. But Father said, he believe that I can control this power one day." -Naruto said with small smile."Third lied to me, you know. He said to me that, he didn't know them. And that there is no point in asking, they dead anyway."
"Naruto kun, I believe that Lord Third..." -Before she could finish, Naruto cut her off.
"To protect me, I know that already." -Naruto said, while looking at her."But that doesn't change the fact. He didn't trust me enought to tell that they were important, so I can't know. If he just tried to explain that they had enemies, I'd understand. But no...He had to said those words in cold tone."
"Still, you shouldn't be mad at him." -Hinata said to her friend.
"I'm not...I'm just disappointed." -Naruto confessed, while shaking his head."Also, I found out that a group called Akatsuki will be after me. Someday, that is."
"What? Then you have to inform Lord Third!" -Hinata said seriously."If someone will be after you then Hokage must know about this."
"I can't...Hinata, listen to me." -Naruto said slowly."After what I saw...I don't know if I can look Third in the face right now. I need...some space. I need to become stronger, before I'll become Genin."
"Naruto kun..." -Hinata said queitly.
"Hinata, do you trust me?" -Naruto asked in low tone. She didn't respond."If you do, then please...Let do what I think is the best."
"I can't believe that I'm doing this...But, whats your plan?" -Hinata asked.
"Thank you. It means a lot to me." -Naruto said with small smile."Of course, train to get stronger. But I can't be within walls of Konoha. I can't risk someone finding me training."
"You'll leave Konoha Walls? But you need to finish Academy to become Ninja." -Hinata stated, confused about Naruto idea.
"I have Kage Bunshins. I'll load one with enought chakra to last for a long time." -Naruto explained and Hinata noded."I'll send you one henged bunhin when first one will run out of chakra. Just appear on the top of wall and wait for my signal."
"Do you think I'll be allowed to be there?" -Hinata asked in concern."But how you'll know when your Bunshin will run out of chakra?"
"One of the just poof out. That one was able to get new memory." -Naruto replied with grin."It's seems like I can get experience and knowledge from Kage Bunshins. I'll now what was going on inside of the Konoha."
"How far you'll be from the Village?" -At that Naruto thought for a second.
"Just enought not to be found out." -Naruto replied."Don't worry, I know how to survive in the forest since I was six."
"When you'll leave?" -Hinata asked sadly.
"Soon. First off, I want to spend more time with my friend." -Naruto replied with warm smile. Hinata stared at him with blush."Hey, I know new jutsu now! But this one is a bit weird."
"Why is that?" -She asked curiously.
"To do this justu, I need my blood to be spread on my palm first." -Naruto replied confused."Might as well try..." -With that, Naruto bit his thumb and spread blood on his right palm. Then he went through series of hand seals."Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" -Naruto slam his palm on the ground and for a second nothing happend."Wha...?" -Suddenly, Blond vanish in a cloud of smoke.
"Naruto kun? Naruto kun?!" -She called, while looking around. She glanced at his clones and saw that they all vanished."Where is he? What should I do?"
[Mount Myoboku, few second later.]
Suddenly cloud of smoke erupted and Naruto appeared. He start falling toward the ground. After hitting the cloud, Naruto hit his head and lost conciousness. Soon, few toads appeared and look down on Naruto.
"What a child is doing here?" -One of the Toads asked.
"I don't know? Was he messing with Summoning like Jiraya did?" -Other Toad asked.
"Looks like it. Should We call Jiraiya?" -Another asked.
"Let's treat him first and wait for him to wake up. Then We might consider calling him." -First Toad said."He reminds you of anyone?"
"He kinda looks like Minato." -Second Toad said in awe."Do you think...?"
"Maybe...We'll find out soon." -Older Toad said as one of them pick up the boy."Bring him to my house."
