Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze
Ok. We are back. So far nobody has had a particular pairing or opinion. I will keep polls open until Ch. 5, this will allow me some time to draw up how everything will go cause I like to plan ahead. I will change story slightly, but that is going to happen. Again, all ideas you have just send via review or Private Message and I will look over and see if I can use it.
Thank you all for your support.
Naruto was going through his first year of academy and had made a few friends. There was Shikamaru and Chouji who he hung out with. He got along ok with a boy named Kiba from the Inuzuka Clan and his dog Akamaru, but the person who he saw as a rival due to the fact he always looked down on him was none other than the boy who every girl sought after, Sasuke Uchiha.
Naruto got home after his class, which he has been attending for 8 weeks now, and was frustrated. "I need to get stronger. Every time the class does something, like practice a new jutsu, I always mess up due to lack of control or not enough chakra."
Kyuubi was listing to him and decided it was time for her to help him. "Don't beat yourself up so much kit. If you really desire to be better and get stronger I will help you."
Naruto was shocked. He had never thought of Kyuubi to help. "Would you really help?" He asked in a upbeat, hopeful manner.
Kyuubi smiled to herself and beamed. "Of course. We will train everyday when you get home until dark and all day Saturday. You will relax and meditate on Sunday's."
Naruto was pumped and headed to a clearing in the forest for the first day of training.
Kyuubi had Naruto doing 50 push-ups, 50 sit-ups, and 50 pull-ups. Then he would run laps around the field until he completed a mile. He would then meditate for 30 minutes and practice controlling his chakra. Finally he would practice the academy required jutsu.
Over the next several months Iruka-sensei noticed Naruto go from near bottom in the class to right behind the child prodigy of Sasuke. This annoyed Sasuke to no end. 'How did that dope get so good? He was just a low class and then all of a sudden the is good.'
----Seven Years Later----
Over the past 7 years Naruto and Kyuubi have trained. Naruto now has access to 4 of Kyuubi's tails, and has learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu and mastered the Academy level jutsu's.
Naruto was stoked. Graduation was only a few days away and he had the requirements mastered and then some. He didn't show his true potential, cause that would draw to much attention, but he did stay in the top 3 of the class.
Naruto was also planning to ask 'old man' Hokage about his father and Kyuubi.
----Day of Graduation----
Naruto walked back into the class room after acing his final test which was the Clone Jutsu. Which needless to say, thanks to Kyuubi's help, was a piece of cake.
Naruto walked to the front of the class and collected his hitie-ite, and choose one with a black head band. With a grin he immediately put it on. "Thanks Kyuubi. Couldn't have done it without you."
Kyuubi gave him a grin in return, "Your damn right you couldn't have." She laughed out in her female voice, which she used more often now.
Naruto did his best to pout but couldn't help but smile.
Iruka got everyones attention, "Ok ok, settle down class. As you know you all are now Genin, which makes you ninja of Konoha. The road from here will not get easier, and will be filled with different trials. I know you will all do your best and I am proud of each and everyone of you." He smiled at the students he has taught the past 4 years. "Be hear tomorrow at 11:00 AM so you can be assigned into teams with your new Jonin senseis. Class dismissed."
With that everyone left and was greeted by their parents. All except for Naruto, who saw the other kids of his class and immediately felt depressed that nobody was there to support him.
"Hey, what I don't count anymore?" Naruto heard Kyuubi say.
Naruto shook his head mentally. "You know its not like that Kyuubi-chan. I just wish I had parents too."
Kyuubi felt sorry for Naruto. She felt responsible for the death of Naruto's father even thought she was being controlled.
Naruto shook off his depression, "Time to go see 'old man' Hokage."
----Hokage's Office----
Sarutobi was standing behind his desk, looking out the window when he heard someone walk into his office. "Ever heard of knocking Naruto?"
Naruto smirked at the 'old man' as the Hokage turned to face him. "You know me old man. No manners." They both laughed.
"What can I do for you Naruto? I see your now a Genin of Konoha." He gave Naruto a proud smile, since he always saw Naruto as a second grandson.
Naruto's face became serious, "I can to ask you about my father old man. I know you know who he was. I want you to be honest with me"
Sarutobi's face became serious as well. 'It was going to come out sooner or later, but how did he find out.'
Naruto became impatient, "I already know who he is, but I want to hear it from you, and I know what is inside me"
This shocked Sarutobi, he never thought Naruto would learn at such a young age. "H-how did you figure it out?"
Naruto smirked now having it confirmed to him, "Kyuubi told me everything and has been helping me train to be a better ninja."
This was a real shock, "Naruto, we only didn't tell you for your own protection."
Naruto nodded, "I know you had your reasons and I am not mad about it. I'm actually just happy to know."
Sarutobi walked over and opened a hidden door on the wall of his office and pulled 3 scrolls out and handed them to him, "These are for you, from your parents. The first two are a letter from each and the last will be explained in the one from your father." He watched Naruto nod before continuing. "Your father put a seal on the letters so you will have to put your blood on it to open and read."
Naruto nodded and took the one from his mother out first. He then bit his thumb and spread his blood across the seal and the scroll seal opened.
Dear Naruto,
If you are reading this then that means your father and I have died fighting the Nine-Tailed-Fox. I am sorry things turned out this way and I hope your doing well. Holding you in my arms on the wonderful October 10th was the happiest day of my life, but things never go as planned. There are some things you need to know. First that I am originally from the Land of the Whirlpool, and came here during an overthrow of our government. Naruto, you have inherited my bloodline trait. It is called the Shardigan. It is similar to the Uchiha Sharingan but you are only able to copy jutsu. You will not be able to read the attacks of your opponents like the Uchiha Clan. This bloodline trait only becomes active when you reach the age of 13-16. I also left you my two katanas for you. They are at our family estate.
My sweet child I hope you can forgive me and your father. Just know that no matter what, I will always be proud of you and love you so very much. I hope the people of the village are treating you well. I have to go now and help your father stop the Kyuubi.
Love your mother,
Kushina Uzumaki. Konoha Crimson Death
Naruto wiped tears from his eyes as he finished reading his mothers scroll. 'They didn't just abandon me.'
Naruto felt like a huge burden had been lifted off him. He picked up his father's scroll and spread his blood on the seal and began to read.
Dear Naruto,
If your reading this, then you have probably found out about Kyuubi inside you. I wouldn't blame you if you hated me for sealing him inside you. I want you to know that since I found out your mother was pregnant, I loved you. The only way to seal Kyuubi was to use someone who's chakra network had yet to develop, so it had to be a newborn child. I couldn't just ask someone else to sacrifice there child, if I wasn't willing to do the same with mine. You mother understood this because had she not, the village would not be there and you, along with everyone else in the village would be dead.
Naruto, your mother and I love you very much. Don't ever think otherwise. I wish we could have been there for you and watch you grow, but life never goes the way you want. I must also tell you that you are the last of the Namikaze, and the last holder of our bloodline trait. This trait will begin to manifest when your 13 years old. You will start having increased speed, agility and stamina. Not to mention you will slowly gain the unlimited supply of chakra from Kyuubi. This bloodline trait is how I got the name Yellow Flash. When you fully attune yourself to it, you will be able to move at speeds that are not even attainable if another person pushes all their chakra into there legs.
You will also inherit our family estate. There you will find a library of jutsu and training ground. I will not say much more than your will only gain access to the house by means of blood seal, just like with this scroll. We also left you access to our family funds that your mother and I never used, so you won't have to worry about money if you don't waste. Also the house has food stores that are preserved in scrolls in the pantries, so you won't have to worry about buying food for about 3 years.
Take care Naruto, and remember that your mother and I love you very much. I know you will make our family proud and be a great shinobi.
Your Loving Father,
Minato Namikaze (Yondaime Hokage and Konoha Yellow Flash)
Naruto smiled as he finished reading. He had his father's and mother's support, and his dad believed he could be a great shinobi.
Naruto looked over at Sarutobi who was waiting for him to finish, "Thanks 'old man'." He gave Sarutobi a hug.
Sarutobi hugged him back, "So, I guess your going to want to know where your parents old home is."
Naruto looked up at him, "Yes, I already live alone, but having something of my parents and better than that run down apartment the council gave be would be great."
Sarutobi nodded with a smile, knowing exactly how Naruto had been living for the past 13 years. "Your parents estate is the old grounds by the Hyuga compound. You know where that is."
Naruto nodded and headed for the door, "Thank you Hokage-sama. This means a lot to me" Then Naruto left while Saurtobi stood there dumbfounded. Naruto never called him by his official title, it was usually 'old man' or jiji-san.
Naruto was heading right for his new home and couldn't wait to get there.
----Namikaze Estate----
Naruto reached the gate of the compound only to see the gate sealed with a blood seal. So, he bit his thumb and smeared he blood on the seal and the gate opened.
Naruto walked into the Namikaze Mansion and was just dumbfounded how big the place was. 'After team selection, I will have to explore tomorrow. It is getting late so I better get to bed.'
Naruto soon found the Master Bed Room and was soon fast asleep.........
TUNE IN NEXT TIME AND FIND OUT WHAT NARUTO'S PARENTS LEFT HIM.....
