The Namikaze Clan
I know It's taking some time for the Narusasu, but it has to. I'm basically rewriting Naruto so he and Sasuke must meet first. And they will meet. Next chapter. Still, the romance doesn't just start there. Bonds must grow. So this is where the story begins. Right here and keep in mind of the story title for this title. There is a reason Naruto will be so strong.
Life was weird for Uzumaki Kushina. Though, she supposed that had something to do with the fact that she married Namikaze Minato.
The Habanero had just given birth to her fifth son and this day, January 19th, would be called odd and would have frightened her if it didn't happen before. But, she had just given birth to a Namikaze; she was used to it.
The new addition to her family lay soundly next to her, his small whimpers expressing how much he was unaware of this new world. He wouldn't open his eyes for fear of being frightened. So he cried for comfort and warmth.
Kushina layed down next to the child. "It's alright, Gaara. Mommy's here." She soothed to the only infant.
Gaara, the child, immediately stopped crying and opened his eyes. The pale green orbs stared at the woman in curiousity.
Just then, the door opened and Minato, her husband and the fourth Hokage, walked in. "Kushina-chan, the one-tailed demon is ready."
She nodded as Minato picked up his son. "Shukaku will give Gaara no problems." Looking at the baby, Minato gasped. "My God, he's beautiful. Same color hair as yours. The sealing will take no toll as Shukaku is willing."
Kushina smiled and kissed the child's whose life was shaped before birth forehead. The same thing happened five years ago to Naruto. Now they would have two Jinchurikis.
That was an hour ago and Kushina was afraid. Minato still hadn't returned with Gaara and she was too weak to get up and Kakashi Hatake, her husband's student, wouldn't let her.
"Is everything going out well, Kakashi-san? Have you heard anything?"
"I'm sure everything is fine, Kushina-sama." The young ANBU assured.
But the woman was still weary. "I hope the sealing works out. I don't want my baby to be hurt. And where are my other babies?"
Just then, the door opened and the first to walk in was a nine year old with orangish-grey hair, followed by three short boys and Minato with a bundle in his hand.
Pein was the oldest son. Kushina was 18 when she gave birth to him. The nine year old had chosen his bloodline at five. He felt the rinnegan suited him well. Kushina felt it suited his spiky hair well when he chose that.
Having twins was not initially planned. In fact, Kushina had in her bucket list when she was 12 that she wanted five children. However, when Deidara and then Nagato popped out three years after Pein, she instantly fell in love with them.
They were fraternal.
Nagato had his mother's hair and was surprisingly born with the rinnegan instead of choosing it. Deidara looked exactly like his father. While Nagato's path was chosen, one that he really liked since he looked like Pein, Deidara had taken a liking to mouths and explosions and art.
The blond child had just woken up one day and went on and one about how he had a dream of having many mouths. Minato encouraged his son to think about the dream to the point where Deidara would spend days and nights in the backyard to mold his chakra into...mouths on his hands and chest. Minato was punched and knocked out by Kushina and Deidara was given many kisses by his mother for doing such all on his own.
The next child was an odd one to say the least. On October 10th, the night Kushina was giving birth, the nine tailed demon fox had traveled to Konoha, not only offering peace, but also requesting to be sealed within the newborn Namikaze. When he explained a prophecy of little Naruto being the savior of the world, Minato agreed and the fox was sealed into the child.
Naruto looked just like Deidara and Minato, except that he had three horizontal lines on each cheek, courtesy of the fox demon, resembling whiskers. The boy's birth was so extraordinary, that Jiraiya, the kids' godfather, had come all the way home to have his visions of the savior. Naruto's chakra reserves were large and the boy was all the more hyperactive.
While he shared Kushina's loud personality, and Minato's odd creations, Naruto had the spirit of a thousand soldiers. He was the sage of everything. The boy was vicious; A demon waiting for the world to wrong him. While all the other boys created their own things, Naruto chose to use whatever release he was given.
That release only came once in a lifetime. Past Namikaze's who chose it could not make it work. So when Naruto chose the Light release, what no one had in the last millennia, Kushina was a bit afraid of the reaction if he wasn't really meant for it.
And finally the baby, Gaara. He had his mother's hair, odd green eyes, and a one tailed demon in him.
Or so Kushina thought.
Looking at each of her boys, the woman noticed something peculiar. Pein, Nagato, and Deidara, looked happy and excited. However, Minato kept eying Naruto, and her youngest blond son looked tired as hell.
He looked beat up and not excited at all. His originally blond hair had a single white strand and one of his eyes weren't blue anymore. In fact, it had a black sclera while the iris was a black four pointed star with black dots around it.
But the main difference Kushina noticed about the boy was the seal upon his neck.
It was small, but it was an eight trigrams seal nonetheless. And her heart sank a little. "What happened, Naruto-kun? Minato, why does my son-"
"The Ichibi could not be sealed within Gaara. While his chakra reserves are large and he is an Uzumaki, it wasn't enough to hold the one tails."
Violet eyes welled with tears. "Kakashi-san, please take my sons outside in the waiting room please." Kakashi quickly complied, dragging the children out with him. When they were gone, Kushina wiped her eyes.
"And so you sealed him in Naruto?"
"Naruto is the only one in Konoha that has chakra so high: bigger than what they've said Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had. He's the only one who can hold two tailed beasts and possibly more."
"But, he didn't need to be sealed. He requested, Minato." Kushina hissed.
Minato shook his head. "That isn't the case anymore. While Kyuubi wanted to be sealed within Naruto because of the Sun prophecy, the Ichibi is less rational. He would have grown angry and attacked if he wasn't sealed within someone."
Tailed beasts requested to be sealed into a newborn or a pure sole so that they were not forced to be weapons. The one tails would have attacked for fear of being sealed by a monstrous human and Minato chose not to sacrifice anyone's child.
"Did you see how tired Naruto looked? He looked ready to collapse." Kushina was crying and she didn't like this. Her sons were supposed to happy not tired looking.
Minato put his head down. "I was watching him. The seal just happened and Naruto knows, so he's going to be tired the first few days."
"I just don't want him to feel like we're using him for what he is. He's a smart kid, you know. And the villagers, they're so dense. They will fear him. They will hate him."
Minato walked over to his wife and kissed her head. "As long as we're here, he will be fine."
"You promise?"
"Yes. Now let's see Gaara." Minato walked to the door and opened, using his hand to motion someone forward.
In walked her sons and Kakashi, who handed the child to Minato, and said he would be posted outside.
Naruto was the first to move forward. The five year old's steps were weary and Kushina found it hard to get used to this new eye. "Kaa-san, are you okay? Gaara is fine if that's what you were worried about."
The woman closed her eyes to stop her tears. Gaara was fine, but Kushina was only worried about him. "I'm fine, Naruto-kun, are you feeling okay?"
"I think I'm fine, mommy. I met Gaara. Did you know that he looks like a girl?"
That made everyone laugh. "Yes. I was very much aware, Naruto-kun." She then looked at Minato. "Can I hold him?"
"Of course." Gaara was placed into her mother's arms once more and all the boys moved around to see.
"He has the same color hair as you, kaa-san." Nagato spoke. "But his eyes are green."
"Does he have a pee-pee like me?" Deidara asked.
"Big brother Pein, do you like him. He looks like mommy?" Naruto asked his brother.
"I think he's very handsome and he will be the best younger brother we will ever have. After you of course, Naruto."
Suddenly, Naruto's face became impassive, but his eyes filled with tears. "Does this mean I'm not the baby anymore?"
Kushina frowned. None of the other children, save for Pein, had this 'baby-no-more' problem. While Naruto stared at her, as if waiting for her to disclaim his fear, Kushina motioned for the other boys to come closer.
"No matter the youngest or oldest, remember that you will all be my babies. Gaara is only the youngest of my babies. You hear me? I don't care if you're three-hundred, you'll still be my baby."
Nagato giggled as did the others and said "That's impossible, Kaa-san."
The woman disagreed. "Nothing is impossible when you are all Namikaze. And look, so is your brother."
Gaara opened his tiny eyes again, the first people she saw were her mother and brothers, although she had no idea yet. Naruto smiled. "His hair is really red, like the burning sun."
Kushina smiled. "Of course." Gaara began yawning so she decided to focus her attention on the other boys.
"Pein and Nagato, have you been doing well in your training? I know it's hard when there is no other with the rinnegan in this village, but luckily Jiraiya-sama knows much about them."
Pein answered. "It is well. I am doing great, and I have began to help Nagato more with his. I am mostly done with mine since I'll be graduating in three years. I will learn more later." Nagato nodded to that.
Pein was a genius. He would most likely graduate the academy early and skip chunin rank. He had always been that good.
"And you Deidara with your 'art?'"
Her son giggled. "My explosions are getting better and better. I can even expand now, mommy."
Kushina giggled back. Deidara was obsessed with explosions. Minato took the time to make a steel field for him to practice. Usually, Naruto would help him until the boy started his own Ninjutsu and chakra training.
"And Naruto, I know you're excited about beginning your training in a few days."
Naruto lifted his fist in the air, but it was tired and took his strength. "Yes. And then, I'll be a prodigy just like Pein and then the greatest Hokage ever."
Everyone laughed. It was indeed true about the Namikaze clan. All of her sons were prodigies. Children entered the academy when they were six and Naruto had yet to join. All his brothers were the prodigies of their classes. While Pain was the top student in his own class, Nagato and Deidara shared the title. They were always trying to one-up each other in a complete brotherly way.
Naruto would be the same, for he was the same age as Uchiha Sasuke. The boys had yet to meet each other, but they were both considered prodigies in Konoha due to their families.
Hopefully, Gaara would be so too.
Kushina woke to the sound of nothing. And that terrified her.
Where was Naruto's loud shouting? Some sort of explosion in the nearby field? Where was Pein and Minato waking her up? Where the hell was Nagato to tell her about the latest book he read? Hell, even Gaara was quiet, and he was a newborn baby!
It didn't take anything for her to jump out of bed. "Nagato, sweety? Kids?" Opening the nursery's door, she fell silent and smiled softly.
There were her boys and girl. Pein was sitting on the floor, leaning against the crib, as Gaara sat in his arms chewing on a teddy bear's head. The other boys were sitting around him as they spoke in soft whispers.
"Can I hold him next?" Naruto asked.
"Naruto, you're too young."
"But, I'm only one year younger than Deidara and Nagato….and they get to hold Gaara-chan."
Pein sighed. "I would like mother to be in here supervising us before you hold him."
Deidara laughed. "Yes, sometimes you act like a baby, Naru-chan."
Said boy growled to the point where his fangs grew in. "I'll tell you what." Pein proposed to his vicious younger brother. "When Kaa-san feeds Gaara, I will persuade her to let you burp him."
"You promise?" Naruto asked tentatively. The oldest nodded.
Gaara was busy drooling and giggling at Naruto. Kushina thought that maybe they would get along just well. When Naruto was born, Pein would take the baby everywhere, pretending to be his 'father.' Kushina thought it was lovely when she saw Pein struggling to carry Naruto like she would them. The woman had no doubt that it would all happen again with Naruto and Gaara.
Deidara put Naruto in a headlock after that and She knocked softly to stop the brawl before it started.
Nagato smiled. "Mommy!" He stood and lifted his arms, letting the woman lift him. "I read about how the Senju clan is related to us. Did you know that your tou-san, our grandfather was a Senju?"
The woman laughed. "You are very smart. I didn't know my father was a Senju. Smarty-pants." Of course she did, but sometimes kids needed that motivation to keep doing what they did. Nagato was a smart kid, IQ close to that of a Nara's. As was Naruto, no matter how ditsy he acted.
Deidara walked over then and she leaned down to kiss his cheek. "Why weren't you training with your explosions this morning, sweety?"
"I didn't want to scare Gaara and you looked sleepy." He smiled.
"Aww, you're so considerate."
She then looked at Naruto. "You weren't screaming or attacking anything in the house this morning." More of a statement than a question. Every morning, she and the others would wake to Naruto biting or scratching on something.
There was one time she found Naruto attacking a tree because he had run past and cut himself on a branch. Unfortunately, the tree didn't make it.
Naruto was, in a word, an animal. He was viscous either because of ancestors or demons within him.
"I couldn't sleep, mommy. Shukaku and Kurama were up all night bickering about nothing." the young boy said sheepishly, probably wondering if his mother saw the almost brawl of he and Deidara.
Kushina frowned. Based on his first name-basis status, it seemed that Naruto got along just fine with his two tailed beast. Only problem was….they didn't get along with each other.
Letting her animal pass this one time, she turned to Pein after Nagato was let down. "You shall be my little helper. I'm proud of you for taking care of Gaara while I was asleep."
She leaned down and kissed his cheek. He blushed and thanked her. Pein was growing up, she noticed. She didn't want that. She didn't want anyone of them to grow up.
"I hope you all brushed your teeth."
They nodded and everyone turned to Naruto. "Naruto?"
"But, food is nasty when my mouth tastes like toothpaste. And Tou-san is cooking ramen for breakfast." He whined. Karin giggled.
"Go brush your teeth." She said.
Naruto stomped. "But, Kaa-san."
Kushina's hair flew up in the air and her fist balled up. "Listen, you little brat. You go brush those teeth right now or so help me, I will put you through the shredder!"
While Pein, Nagato, and Deidara were usually calm, they still had their mother's blood. To say, Minato witnessed all of his sons, at some point or another, in their animalistic ways just like their mother.
Naruto ran out the room giggling, and his brothers shook their heads.
They all hoped Naruto had the light release. It would give the dimwit something to do.
I am sensing some confusion, so let me recap. After the two Ōtsutsuki brothers sealed their mother away, Gamamura, maybe the greatest prophet ever came with a child from the sun God.
This child, Hikari Namikaze, is a bloodline creator. While some people have natures that are given, she and her descendants choose what they will have. If she wanted the rinnegan, she could just mold her chakra over her eyes while thinking about it.
However, they must train in great lengths to show the sun God that they deserve what they chose. You all will learn what happens when a Namikaze gets power hungry or too arrogant.
Hikari Namikaze was the first and only person to host the nine tailed demon fox within her body before Naruto. Naruto is the prophecy guys. I don't make Naruto fics about anyone else. It's called Naruto for a reason.
Naruto has four other brothers; Pein, Deidara, Nagato, and Gaara. All of the Namikaze before Naruto were prodigies. Naruto did not start school or training yet.
Remember the title. Naruto has two tailed beasts for a reason. :)
THE LIGHT RELEASE: I know I said that the release is always within a Namikaze as their true nature, but it cannot be obtained if not made for them. Naruto chose that, but it is not confirmed yet that he will have it. But, remember the prophecy said he will be the purest/fullest Namikaze.
No one had obtained light release in a millenia.
Yes, Pein, Nagato, Deidara, and Gaara will have their same jutsu from the anime and manga. It just puts the Bloodline creator theory into effect more.
And I know Pein and Nagato are the same people. I wanted them to be different.
The big enemy will be someone you guys least suspected in this fic. Just keep reading. More Namikaze love ahead, more big brother Pein and Naruto ahead as well. Of all the sibling relationships, Naruto and Pein have the strongest bond. More than the twins do.
It goes with the plot and we will understand why in the future.
Please review and silkbunnies, I hope you like this.
