Hey guys, EliteThrasher98 here, sorry I haven't been posting in a while, I have had a lot of things going on for Christmas and the aftermath. For me, right now, it is the early hours of the 29th, like 3:00 in the morning and I will be leaving for a week, on the 30th. I will be taking my laptop with me, so I will try to get some chapters done, while I am gone. I also need to know if I should skip the training after this chapter, as evidenced by the last chapter, I am not that good at writing about training sessions. Please let me know as soon as you can, preferably before the 30th, so basically, later today or early tomorrow, I will do what most people want me to do, if no-one bothers to tell me what they want, I will decide on my own, and you will see what I choose. Sorry about the short notice, but I haven't had much free time. I forgot to mention that all characters are in their original outifits unless stated otherwise later in the series. Without further ado, here is the fourth chapter in the The Return of Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki.

Disclaimer: Do I really need to point this out? I mean come on.

Gaara studied the kunai in his hand as Naruto sped away, it was an unusual design, with a large centre prong in the middle looking like an arrowhead and two smaller outside prongs facing back towards the handle. The handle itself was unusual as well, it was thicker than normal and had an orange seal on it. Gaara guessed it operated similarly to the Flying Thunder God kunai used by the Fourth Hokage.

Naruto sped along the trees at a very fast pace, anxious to meet this Mifune character his father had spoken about.

'Who is this guy anyway? How does he know my dad? I guess I'll find out soon' Naruto thought to himself.

Naruto continued on for a few minutes before the forest changed to flat land, after a few hours he saw a town in the distance. Naruto decided he would go to the town rather than pass it by. A few minutes later, he arrived in the town and looked for a bathhouse to relax. He saw the bathhouse and decided to check for any perverts, while training with Jiraiya it had become one of Naruto's traditions, so to speak. He walked around the side and what did he find? Jiraiya, of course! Naruto decided to walk up right behind him and yell...

"PERVERT!" Naruto screamed as he booted Jiraiya over the wall into the hot springs and the wrath of the female bathers.

Naruto winced as he heard sounds of breaking bones, smacks of feet and fist on skin and the the sound of something being squashed. He then saw Jiraiya slowly limp out of the hot springs. Jiraiya's hair then lengthened and wrapped around him, a few moments later it unwound from around Jiraiya and shortened back to it's original length as Jiraiya looked as fresh as a daisy.

"I swear, I am going to kill the fucker tha- Naruto!" Jiraiya said as he walked over to his student and put his hand on his shoulder.

"What are you doing here kid?" Jiraiya asked.

"I was stopping here on my way to the Land of Iron to learn about kenjutsu, but now that you're here, tell me all that you know about Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki." Naruto told his teacher with a stern look on his face.

"Ah, I see Tsunade told you. Well you look a lot like Minato, albeit his hair was longer and you got your face structure from Kushina. Minato was a great man, kind and caring, like you. He was a lot smarter than you though. He liked ramen almost as much as you, so did your mother. He actually had respect for his elders, unlike somebody I know... anyway, he liked to read and investigate jutsu for improvements and modifications. When Kushina got pregnant with you, you were his main focus, along with keeping Kushina happy during the 'special times' she had. He almost literally dropped everything and bolted out of his office when he heard the news about you. Now onto your mother, she was one of the most beautiful women in the world. She had long red hair going down to around waist height with a small black hairpin on one side and she had violet eyes, she was kind to her friends, but if you got on her bad side... oh boy. She was called the Red-Hot Habanero, due to her temper. She gave me the same nickname as you, ungrateful Uzumakis, anyway, she loved being with her friends and eventual partner. she loved you even more than Minato, she always talked to you and always said how you would grow up with a happy family and be loved so much. You know how they were killed by the Fox? Well, that was because the Fox got loose, you see, Kushina was the Fox's second jinchuriki and the first was the wife of the first Hokage, her name was Mito Uzumaki. I wouldn't be surprised if you were related to the First Hokage, whatever, the reason the Fox got loose was because a man in a mask that only showed his left eye, attacked the ANBU forces protecting Kushina and Minato, this was because the seal is at it's weakest during childbirth. The eye that showed had the Sharingan and after getting the Fox out, he captured it in a genjutsu and ordered it to attack the Leaf. So that man was actually the reason your parents died, while the Fox might be a mindless beast, on the off chance it isn't, don't hold it against it, it wasn't it's fault." Jiraiya explained. (I know it was a big story, deal with it.)

"Wow, I guess they really did love me. Well, see you later." Naruto said as he walked towards the hot springs.

"Oi, Pervy Sage! Meet me in the Land of Iron in a month, we can do some training then!." Naruto said just as he reached the entrance and just as Jiraiya was about to look through the ho- leave, leave, yeah that was it.

Naruto awoke from his bed in the hotel room he had booked for the night and quickly grabbed a storage scroll with his breakfast in it and packed up all of his other stuff. He then went down to the counter, dropped off his room key and left. Ten minutes later, Naruto was speeding along the flat land while he made a Shadow Clone who started eating his breakfast homemade ramen while on the original's back. After the breakfast was consumed, he put the rubbish into another storage seal that held all of his rubbish that he had no use for anymore, no-one knew what would happen if he opened it. He had stolen it at the age of 6 and watched as others trained with using them afterwards to see how to use it. Six to thirteen was seven years, he didn't even know how much rubbish, broken ninja tools, outgrown clothes and other stuff was in there, he didn't even know why he used it rather than an ordinary bin. Kleptomania? After a while, he noticed the air started to get colder and that in the distance the ground was starting to turn white, he then realised that it was just snow collecting on the ground.

Naruto entered through the gates into the Land of Iron's main city and looked for the building that looked like the main one. He found a small building in the centre of town and it had a sign above it saying House of Mifune. Naruto then unsealed the sword from the scroll and held it in his left hand as he knocked on the door. The door opened and out came an old, but not too old, man in the garb of a samurai, minus the helmet.

"Yes, young one? What is it you seek with me?" Mifune asked with a blank look.

"My father said you owed him a favour, I am asking to have that favour repaid. I am asking you to train me, only for a month, as I have other places I need to be in the time that I have." Naruto replied.

"Who is your father? There are not many men who I owe favours to, but there are multiple nonetheless." Mifune asked with a single eyebrow raised.

"My father was the Fourth Hokage of the Village Hidden In The Leaves, Minato Namikaze."

"Minato's boy eh? Well, you look and act just like him, albeit with a bit of your mother in you to be sure, you can't be exactly like your father, now can you?" Mifune said, indicating Naruto to enter his home.

Naruto then sat at the table in the centre of the room as Mifune sat across from him.

"So, who was your mother? I never knew that Minato had a partner." Mifune asked Naruto.

"My mother was Kushina Uzumaki, although many know her as the Red-Hot Habanero." Naruto replied.

"Kushina Uzumaki? Never figured her to be with Minato, they were completely different. Although, Minato did make the things that seemed impossible work out in the end. May I take a look at your sword? I'm sorry, but I am fascinated by swords." Mifune asked, finally noticing Naruto's sword.

"Of course Mifune-sensei." Naruto replied, handing over his sword with a slight bow of the head.

"Mifune-sensei? Not so fast kid, I haven't agreed to train you yet. Anyway, back to this swo- Wait, it can't be! The legendary sword, Dragon's Maelstrom! How did you get this?" Mifune asked, immediately excited.

"It was a parting gift from my mother. It was given to me before she died." Naruto replied.

"Ah I see. I will train you boy, we will get started tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, you are welcome to stay in the guest room here." Mifune said, handing the sword back to Naruto.

"Thank you Mifune-sensei."

So that was the fourth chapter of this story, I hope you guys enjoyed it, as I said before, I am thinking about skipping the training of Naruto's kekkei genkai, as I am not very good at writing about training sessions. I will do whatever the most people want me to do, if no-one tells me what they want me to do, or it is a tie, I will choose myself. Anyway, I will see you guys later. EliteThrasher98 out!
