Chapter 2

The scroll was mostly blank except for the top of the left end, where in neat, graphic kanji was written.

"Forbidden hijutsu of Uzushiogakure no Sato.

Uzumaki clan.

Hijutsu kuchiyose."

"Hijutsu kuchiyose? Secret summoning jutsu?" the blonde wondered.

The rest of the scroll was blank, only horizontal lines with various kanji were seen. Like separated rectangles. Naruto had absolutely no idea what to do next. But he understood perfectly that there was some secret to the scroll too, otherwise it wouldn't have been a hijutsu. Those lines suggested that something hidden was written in each separated part, but what?

Maybe this had a trick to it? Like when he tried to open the scroll, and it opened only to blood? Smear blood again? No, that wouldn't be logical to have another blood seal in the scroll, maybe there was a seal which opened some other way? If he couldn't use blood, then what?

He sat cross legged on the grass, deep in thought. His eyes scanned the surroundings and lingered on the trees.

Trees.

Tree-climbing...

Water-walking...

Then it clicked.

Chakra!

Smiling to himself and slightly put out that it took him so long to get it, he put his hand on the scroll. In reality he didn't know how exactly to channel chakra to a scroll, but with the tree climbing and the still incomplete version of water-walking, he knew the concept. The rest was up to a chance.

Slowly he tried to channel a small bit of chakra in the scroll. He felt it moving along the surface in a chaotic version.

Damn, my chakra control still sucks! Better not damage the scroll...

He sneaked a small peak at the scroll. His eyes widened. Kanji appeared all over it and glowed blue in a circular pattern. He could make out the words Hyo, Kaze, Kami and Ryu.

Then the swarming of the seals died. Naruto stared at the 2 names written on the scroll, each in the rectangle.

Uzumaki Kyouya

Uzumaki Kenji

The third was empty. Before Naruto even had the chance to think what to do nxt he was sucked in a white vortex, which seemed to appear from the scroll itself.

He knew he screamed, and he knew that he couldn't hear himself. Opening his eyes he realized he was in a strange white place. He touched the ground.

It was snow. He frowned. Where was he? How did snow get here?

He stood up and dusted himself, ignoring the fact that he was freezing cold. He had much more important matters to think about.

This was no time to panic.

Easier said then done. He didn't know where he was, and this time, he felt that Kakashi sensei wasn't going to be there to help him out!. The sky at least looked normal. But it was dark and for the first time the stars were freaking him out.

Don't panic.

"Boy, do not be afraid" came a deep rumbling voice. It was comforting in a way, but the blonde could feel the power radiating from the voice. He turned around and took his taijutsu stance just in case.

"W-who are you?"

The voice was coming from the far end. It was dark there and nothing was seen. It was a striking contrast against the pure white snow.

"You are one of the last Uzumaki left, it is acceptable that you do not know of the properties of the Uzumaki kuchiouse hijutsu."

Naruto blinked. One of the last Uzumaki? Huh?

"The Uzumaki died in the second shinobi war, those who survived scattered in the shinobi countries. I believe that one of was sent to Konohagakure no Sato to be the next vessel, if i am correct then you are her descendant."

"How do you know all this?"asked Naruto, a bit skeptical. He didn't know if he could trust the...summon?

"Summons live in a different realm then the humans, we have our outside sources as well.!" growled the voice, making the blonde cower a bit.

"Eh, souka...so what do you mean she was sent here to be a vessel?"

"To be the second vessel of the Kyuubi no youko of course. I feel the dark chakra in you too boy. So far, there were only three holders of the Kyuubi, the third, being you. The first was Uzumaki Senju Mito sama. She was the first to seal the bijuu in herslef to aid her husband in the fight with Uchiha Madara. The second, i believe your mother, Uzumkai Namikaze Kushina. After the death of Mito sama, the Kyuubi was sealed in her. And you, the Kyuubi was ealed in you the same day you were born."

Naruto plopped on the cold snow, not caring for anything, he was still trying to understand what exactly the figure was telling him. He stared at his hands. His okaa chan was a container too. How was he supposed to understand this? Was she happy? Did she go through the same life he did?

With a bang he realized that his kaa san died young.

And the Kyuubi was sealed into him.

And Mito san. Uzumaki Senju Mito...wait, the fight with Uchiha Madara, wasn't it with Hashirama Senju?

So that would make Uzumaki Mito the wife of the first.

And...

Wait.

Uzumaki Namikaze Kushina?

Wasn't Namikaze the last name of the fourth?

Wait.

No, no it cant be!

He couldn't seal it in his own son! No...

But Naruto now knew, now he understood why his jiji never told him anything when he asked about his parents, why he avoided the subject. Because if the people found out...

And Iwa too...

Shimatta...

Silent tears slid down his cheeks.

At least now he knew that he had a family and that he was loved.

The mysterious voice was silent all the time. He knew the boy needed time, but he also had to know the truth, otherwise he wouldn't be able to call on his help, and the help of his clan.

After a while, Naruto looked up and dried his tears with the back of his sleeve, smiling slightly.

"Nene, strange voice, now that i know all this..." he let the sentence linger.

"Now, you need to sign the contract with your full name so i and my clan can aid you in battles and other shinobi matters."

"But..."

"Ah, the concept of the hijustu kuchiouse wasn't explained to you i see. All right brat, i'll tell you."

His eyebrow twitched at the 'brat' comment, but he let it go. The voice was going to tell hi where he was and why he was here and everything! He was excited, dattebayo!

"This is no ordinary summoning scroll, you sign a death oath when you pour your chakra into it. Thus, the seals incarnated in the scroll divide your chakra in segments, and pick the segments which represent your element or elements. Then the seal chooses the most suitable partner for you from the summoning realm. The summons will be marked by said seal for eternity, even after the summoner dies. There is a small difference from the ordinary summons, you see, the Uzumaki clan summons differ, they are beings with chakra elements, and they differ for each summoner. I am the first type in my category to ever be summoned, for that i congratulate you."

"Whoa..."

Naruto was speechless. The Uzumaki clan were amazing!

"Ano, so, uh, what exactly are you?" he tried to make the question sound a bit more polite, but the voice growled deep and Naruto was nearly blasted from his feet by a gust of snow and wind.

"Gaki, just get out of the realm and summon me, you will see!"

"Uh, how do i do that?"

The voice groaned and told him the sequence of the hand seals. Before Naruto had the chance to blink, he was blasted back into the forest.

"Tch, thats not fair!" he grumbled as he stood up an dusted himself. The scroll was sprawled before him. He moved to it and as the voice had said, signed his name in blood.

Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto

He smirked. It sounded great!

But he knew he couldn't tell anyone. Still, it was nice to know that he wasn't a no name orphan. And now, he wanted to surpass his hero much more, knowing that said hero was his father.

Trying not to dwell to much on it, he made the hand seals and slammed his hand on the ground.

"Kuchiyose no jutsu!"

A very big poof of smoke erupted and Naruto had to back away, eyes protectively closed.

"Well, you certainly amazed me gaki, and on your first try" boomed the voice from the cloud. When it cleared, Naruto was left gaping like a catfish.

"My name Namikaze Naruto, Yuki no Seishin Ryu"

Naruto still gaped. In front of him was a enormous figure with sliver scales spread across the long body, long blue-green hair that started from the head and went to the tail along the spine, sparkling cerulean eyes, much like his own and two folded silver wings with blue tips.

It was a dragon.

A snow dragon.
