Second chapter, Naruto learns his true identity. It comes a bit earlier than in canon or the original breaking point, but dammit a kid should know of his parents! This chapter again mainly focuses on building up to the plot, so i hope you enjoy.
Review replies
Namikaze10: Honestly im not sure yet, it could be anyone, or even a harem story. All i know is there will be no yaoi. And ill take your suggestion in mind.
SinOfDisaster: Naruto will become slightly darker in general (but just to those who deserve it) due to some future events, but not dark to the point of killing anything that breathes.
Killua17: Nope, not broke yet. (insert devious smile here) but he wont be just a mindless killing machine in this story.

Flashback; 9 years ago.
"We should kill it now! Before it has a chance to regain power and finish the job!" Shouted one of the civilian council members.
"You should know that our Yondaime was the best fuinjutsu user in the world, there is no chance of the demon breaking out of Naruto." Replied the Sandaime.
"Perhaps when he becomes of age, I could train him to control the foxes power?" Suggested Danzo.
"No you will not turn Naruto-kun into one of your mindless ROOT agents."
"Damn" Thought Danzo.
"I agree with Haruno, the demon should be killed!" Said another of the civilian council.
"Naruto-kun will not be harmed! Our beloved Yondaime sacrificed his life and child for you and wants him seen as a hero, yet you bastardize his desires already!" Shouted the Sandaime, silencing the requests for death and imprisonment. "Furthermore, if any of you tell anyone of his 'tenant' or heritage, you will be put to death. I want him to grow up like a normal child."

Currently, Hokage's office
"Oh how I wish I could've been more help to you Naruto-kun. You are a hero every day, with the blood of a Hokage inside of you, yet they treat you like shit. I wish I could make it up to you. Well maybe…" Thought Hiruzen as he looked at the unconscious form of Naruto on the couch beside his desk.
Finally after about an hour, Naruto began to stir before sitting up. "Where am… Jiji! Oh God I'm sorry! I didn't want to hurt anyone but they made me!" he said as he started to sob again. "I don't even know what happened… I was just so scared, and then a scary set of eyes told me to 'use their power' to stop the hurting!"
Hiruzen was quite shocked when Naruto mentioned the 'scary set of eyes with power', wondering if Naruto meant the Kyuubi. He got up from his desk and walked over to the couch to sit beside Naruto.
"Shh shh… It's okay Naruto-kun."
"But Jiji, I killed them… so many people died because of me tonight."
"They deserved it for treating you the way they did, you are supposed to be a hero."
"What do you mean Jiji?"
"Sigh. I was going to wait until you were older, but I have some things to tell you and now seems to be a good a time as any."
"What is it Jiji?"
"Well, one night, 9 years ago…" Hiruzen proceeded to tell Naruto what happened that night, about his 'tenant', and finally that the one who sealed said demon into him, was his father. Yep, the Yondaime Hokage was Naruto's dad.
Naruto was so shocked from all this information that he fainted again. It took Hiruzen nearly 20 minutes to wake Naruto back up before they started talking about what Naruto now knew.
"So… I really am a demon, like everyone said."
"No Naruto-kun, you are not a demon, you just hold one. Watch this." Hiruzen said as he got up and walked over to his desk and retrieved a storage scroll and a kunai. He came back to Naruto and opened the scroll "You see, this is a scroll, You, and this kunai." As he held up the kunai "Is the Kyuubi." He laid the kunai onto the scroll and channeled some chakra as the scroll absorbed the kunai into it. "So, is this now a kunai?" he said as he held up the scroll with the word 'kunai' in the center.
"No… its still a scroll."
"Exactly. Just as having a kunai sealed in the scroll doesn't make the scroll a kunai; you having a demon sealed inside of you doesn't make you a demon."
Naruto let a small genuine smile show now "Thanks Jiji." He said as he hugged the old man.
"It was your right to know, Naruto-kun. I was a fool for hiding it this long. Now before you go, I have some things for you." Said Hiruzen as he walked over to his desk and did some handseals before slamming his hand onto the desk.
Now underneath his hand was a chest with a spiral pattern surrounded by a chain of 3 pronged kunai.
"Cool Jiji, what is that?" Asked a wide eyed Naruto.
"This, Naruto-kun, is your inheritance, left to you by your father. It contains all of his jutsu scrolls, as well as the Uzumaki clan techniques. Both he and your mother left you a letter in there as well. The chest itself was designed with a seal so that no one but you and me can even touch the box, and only you can open it."
Naruto was now near the point of fainting once more as he looked at the box.
"Now Naruto-kun, it will probably be a while before you are advanced enough to learn most of the jutsu, but I will help you along whenever I can." Said Hiruzen as he pulled out a small card from his desk.
"What is that Jiji?"
"This is a card made from chakra paper, if you channel some chakra into it, it will tell you your elemental affinity." Hiruzen then explained elemental manipulation to Naruto who absorbed the information like it was ramen, before handing Naruto the card.
Naruto took the card and channeled some chakra to it, before it split in half.
"Ahh, Fuuton, a rather rare-" Hiruzen started but then stopped as one half of the paper caught fire while the other crinkled up. At this point his eyes went wide. After all, even a jonin having 3 affinities was kind of rare, it was unheard of for a genin, no, an academy student.
"So what does that mean Jiji?"
That shook Hiruzen out of his shock, before he answered "Umm… It means you have an affinity for Fuuton, Katon, and Raiton. That is good, because most jonin don't even have 3 affinities."
"Wow! Im gonna be a super awesome ninja one day!"
"Possibly, but don't let that go to your head Naruto-kun" Dear God this kid will be an animal by 12 if he gets proper training.
"I won't Jiji, I know it takes hard work to be strong, so that's what I'll do. Except I don't really have anyone to help me…" He said with a frown at the end.
Hiruzen thought about that for a moment before he stood up and made a cross hand seal and 20 copies of himself appeared in the room. He then pulled out a storage scroll and sealed all of the clones into it before handing it to Naruto. "Those clones are called kagebunshins, they are solid clones capable of independent thought; they can be used for a variety of purposes, including training, fighting, and spying. You can take that scroll and unseal a clone whenever you need help training."
"Thanks Jiji!"
"You're welcome Naruto-kun. How about I show you to your new home now?"
"Okay!"
Hiruzen walked over to a blank spot on the wall before doing some hand seals and touching his hand to the wall. To Naruto's surprise, a seal array appeared on the wall before the pair disappeared.
The next thing Naruto knew, he was standing in the middle of a large room, that appeared to be the living room of a mansion.
"Where are we at Jiji?" Naruto asked, and Hiruzen just smiled.
"Your home Naruto-kun. Like the box, this place is full of seals, so that it is hidden from everyone. The only entrance is through my office, or the Hiraishin technique, which is one of the ones your dad left you, but it will likely take you years to learn, as your father is the only person who ever used that jutsu." Hiruzen then showed Naruto the hand seals to transport between place to place.
"So Naruto-kun, do you need anything else?"
"No Jiji, I think im just gonna go to bed. I've got a lot to think about."
"Okay Naruto-kun, I'll see you tomorrow then."
"Goodnight Jiji."
With that, Hiruzen left, and Naruto began to search his new home. After acquainting himself with the house he went upstairs and quickly drifted off to sleep.
