Naruto sat nervously in front of the Sandaime who had been reading over the description Hiashi had given him of Naruto's experiance.
"Naruto, when you seen this young figure with same features you hold ( Naruto's tail twitched as this was mentioned) could you feel a great pressure bearing down on you as he got louder in cursing Arashi?"
After sitting and replaying the experiance in his head several times Naruto looked up at the aged Hokage."Yeah actually it felt like i was gettiing heavier and heavier the whole time he was screaming." "Why do you ask ojisan?"
"Listen to me Naruto, this is somthing I had hoped would never befall you." He pinched the bridge of his nose trying to avoid the oncoming headache. "Come here." was the simple command he gave the boy.
"Hai" Naruto walked around the large oak desk to the hokage's side. "Whatta ya need old man?"
Sarutobi looked at the boy with a it of worry " Naruto I need you to lift your shirt up and you to mold as much chakra to your abdomen as possible." Naruto just lifted his shirt off completly and put his hands togather in the Ram seal and he began to mold all of his chakra to his stomache. " There Hiashi I need you to look over this to make sure there is nothing wrong with the seal."
"Hai hokage-sama." he got up from the back of the room where he and Fugaku had been sitting. He looked the seal over several times looking at every curve of it. " I see nothing wrong with the structure of the seal hokage-sama, however there is quite a bit more of the ... 'jailed' being filtered through it and into Naruto."
Fugaku jumped up "What!!!" he screamed running to the boy and activating his Sharingan to get a better look at the seal. "This could affect his health direly, we have no idea what that energy could do to him!" His eyes were flitting around over the seal seeing as the red/orange chakra merged into the blue.
"Calm down Fugaku, this is what the seal was designed to do, I was going over the notes Arashi left about the seal after Hiashi notified me of the situation and found that seal was partly designed to filter more and more of the beast's energy thru Naruto eventually ending up with Naruto holding all of the beasts energy naturally. Now Naruto we are about to reveal to you... somthing that you weren't supposed to find out until you had become a Genin after the academy." Sarutobi reached over to an intercom, and pushed a button. "Please send Kakashi in with the parcel."
A few moments later Kakashi walked lazily into the room and handed Sarutobi the package addressed to Naruto. "Hokage-Sama, why did you need me to bring you this?"
"Kakashi you are about to be revealed an S class village secret concerning Naruto here." Sarutobi turns to Naruto. " Ok Naruto, what we are about to tell you is somthing that is of the utmost security and privacy, do you understand?"
Naruto nodded " Hai ojisan, but i don't see ho-" Naruto was cut off by the hokage silencing him.
" You'll see soon enough Naruto." Sarutobi began unwrapping the package that now had revealed itself to be a small Mahogany colored box with a spiraling emblem at the top and kanji leading outward from it. " Naruto, have you ever heard of a blood seal?" The boy shook his head. The old kage smiled sadly "You see Naruto a blood seal is somthing that ninja families, clans specifically, are famous for using for the security of there secrets. -Sarutobi holds up the box for all to see. " This, Naruto, holds a blood seal on it, and you are the only person left of the bloodline that has the ability to open it."
Kakashi's eyes widened as Naruto spoke out " I didn't think i had a clan Ojisan" was all the boy could say from the thoughts that were running through his head. He was shocked and it showed as his face was a pale white so that the whiskers on his face showed off more. He sat hugging his tail wanting to know more.
"Naruto you don't have a clan, not anymore, However you are the legacy of a clan. Even though it is one of the least known clan's in Konoha, you are the sole surviver of the great Kazama clan. Naruto you are the last member of the once very proud and strong clan, and thusly you are left the clan's sacred artifacts and all the information on the clan. Sadly naruto all of the information about your clan is in this small box along with a letter from your father who told me himself that should this moment ever arise to give this to you with these men , 'he gestured to the other three in the room', present because these men would be able to help you the most in uncovering and discovering more about you , your clan , and the perk that the kazama clan was famous for."
Naruto took the box that was being handed to him and let a tear slide down his cheek, even though he had a family an official one, he had still longed many many nights to know who his real family was, to know who his mother was, who his father was, and now he had it all in his hands. " Thank you soooo much ojisan!" naruto said tearing up slightly.
"Now listen Naruto this isn't all i have to do with you this morning. I'm afraid that because you have had the experiance that you had, there is somthing we have to do,and im not sure how to go about doing it." He looked to Hiashi and Fugaku. "Have either of you explained to him about the seal, and what it holds?"
They looked at one another and shook their heads , Fugaku spoke up " No Hokage-sama we decided it would be best to wait until he asked to know why he was different in appearance to tell him."
"I thought as much." Sarutobi sat back down " Naruto you may have your seat again. Tell me Naruto what do you know about the Kyuubi attack on Konoha?"
"Not much." said the boy "Just that the Yondaime died killing the beast and thats about it, but what does that have to do with me looking different than everyone else?"
Everyone in the roomed sighed a deep heaving breath " Naruto the Yondaime was unable to kill a beast of such power, no man alive would be capable of such a feat. However he was a master of seals." Sarutobi pointed at Naruto's stomache. "That Naruto, was the Yondaime's last seal he ever created, because Naruto. Instead of killing the Kyuubi no Kitsune he sealed it into the belly of a newborn babe on October 10th. You Naruto, are not only the legacy of the Kazama clan ,but you are also the legacy of this village and of the Yondaime Hokage."
Naruto had passed out at this point and was now lying flat on his face in the floor holding onto his box for dear life.
Kakashi looked at the hokage"Does this mean that Naruto is..." he trailed off not wanting to believe he hadn't been told
"Yes kakashi, yes it does."
Naruto awoke to the sound of someone knocking on the door of his room. He got up form his futon still grasping the box tightly he had been given earlier, and sat it down on his side table. " I'm coming, I'm coming." he walked sluggishly to the door and slid it open to reveal a Hyuuga branch family member with his linens.Naruto took them " Thanks Ayaka-san." he said smiling softly at her.
She left and Naruto went back to his futon and sat down on it after sitting his clean linens beside him he looked up at his box. "well Ojisan said that it has a blood seal on it so maybe if I" Naruto grabbed the box and set it in his lap. " I hope this works." He bit his thumb and slid it accross the top of the box, and it started to glow. It glowed white then changed to yellow then to blue and finally a red and it settled down and the lock clicked open. Naruto slowly opened the box to find a letter setting on top of all the documents inside the box he pulledit out and opened it up and started to read the scragly handwriting that was obviously rushed
Naruto, If your reading this letter then it means that Sarutobi has decided you were mature enough to recieve the information about your clan and your parents. I hope it wasn't the latter reason that the Kyuubi hs drawn you to it. Naruto, to start things off i want to tell you that your parents ' myself and your mother' love you very much. I'm afraid I have to tell you that your mother 'Uzumaki Kushina' died in labor giving birth to you. (A dark spot on the page that looks to be where a tear fell lies here) I ,your father, will soon die too because I am about to head into the battle field to, sadly, place the ultimate burden upon you. The Kyuubi is getting closer Naruto so I'm going to have to end this letter soon. All the information about our clan should be in the box that Sarutobi and the others just gave you from clan jutsu to history. I'm very sorry i can't give you more than this letter Naruto, just know that i love you very much my son and that no matter what happens that you have people who love you there. I must go now the Kyuubi has just breached the wall of Konoha - I love you once again my son may my spirit help guide you through life - your father - Kazama Arashi The Yondaime Hokage.
