Masashi Kishimoto owns Naruto.


Chapter 2: Knowledge

Naruto froze, "What did you say Old Man?"

"I said it is time I told you about your parents," Sarutobi repeated.

"You knew?" Naruto exploded out of his chair, "You knew this entire time and never TOLD ME!"

Sarutobi smiled sadly, "I knew them for a long time, they were my friends."

"HOW DARE YOU YOU KEEP THIS FROM ME!" As Naruto yelled this the air around Naruto started to shimmer.

"Calm down Naruto," Sarutobi said, "Your parents had alot of enemies, I had to wait till you were old enough to be able to defend yourself before I could tell you, until tonight you were not ready for this information." Sarutobi barely got this out before blue chakra exploded out of Naruto and flowing like flame threw him into his chair and caused him to skid across the room to slam into the wall behind him. Sarutobi could only watch in horror as Naruto's pupils turned to slits and his clear blue eyes turn a burning red.

"I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!" Sarutobi tried to get out of his chair but Naruto focused on him and he was slammed back into it. The door behind Naruto slammed against the wall as 4 ANBU Agents rushed into to see a Raging Naruto, before they could rush in the Hokage signal them to back down, before they could disagree with that Naruto's raging chakra threw them out the door to land in a heap outside in the hall. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA EHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO WONDER IF OTHER PEOPLE ARE RIGHT WHEN THEY TELL YOU YOUR PARENTS ABANDONED YOU BECAUSE YOU WERE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM! TO WALK DOWN THE STREET AND LOOK AT THE PEOPLE YOU ARE PASSING AND WONDER IF ONE OF THEM IS YOUR MOTHER OR YOUR FATHER! TO HAVE PEOPLE THROW ROTTEN FOOD AND BROKEN GLASS AT YOU AS YOU PASS THEIR HOMES! I HAVE RECIEVED NOTHING BUT BEATINGS AND DEATH THREATS ON MY BIRTHDAY SINCE I WAS BORN! MY BELONGINGS STOLEN, WHAT WAS MENT FOR ME TAKEN! MY TEACHER TRIED TO KILL ME AND THE ONLY HOME I EVER KNEW THREW ME OUT! I AM DONE I AM SICK OF BEING TREATED AS A DEMON FOR NOT BEING SEEN AS HUMAN! THEY WANT A DEMON THEY WILL GET ONE!"

Sarutobi could only stare at Naruto in shock as everything he had been put through came to light, he had never realized it had been that bad, He had known the boy was shunned but not like this. Then the home comments clicked and a cold rage overtook him and spread around him translating into a killing intent that seemed to reach Naruto inside his pain filled rage. Naruto watched as the Hokage's face hardened and as that killing intent reached him he knew if he did not run he would die.

Looking up at Naruto Sarutobi was amazed as the boys eyes first returned to blue then their slits returned to normal. When the last of the blue flame-like chakra finally disappeared Naruto started to back away from him fear radiating from him with with an intensity similar to the chakra that filled the room only a moment ago. Finally realizing that his rage was terrorizing the small boy he turned away and focused on dismantling it until when he turned back around he was no longer leaking killing intent and though his face was still grim he did not look ready to kill anyone. This change surprised Naruto and Sarutobi had to rush forward to catch Naruto as the boy collapsed, exhausted from the chakra that had enveloped him only a minute ago. Putting the boy in his chair he walked out of the office and soon the ANBU agents were kneeling in front of him apologizing for the intrusion.

"you did nothing wrong" he said simply, "Now I will need you in a few moments so please wait out here until I call for you." Turning around he walked back into the room and saw that Naruto had woken up and was staring at him embarrassed. Walking around his desk he sat down and just looked at Naruto.

"I am not going to apologize or take back anything I said but...i am sorry you had to see me lose control like that," Naruto said quietly.

Sarutobi simply asked, "That explosion of chakra, has that happened before?"

"You mean that force that threw you and the ANBU around?" Naruto replied. " No I have never experienced anything like that before."

"Yes, hmm did it feel any different then other times to used chakra in class?" Sarutobi asked worrying the seal had broken.

"Yes and no, it was the same as my chakra but I have never used so much like that before I felt like I could have demolished the entire building when I lost control their if only I knew how." Naruto said with a worried tone. "Does it have to do with the fox?"

"I believe you when you say that it was you chakra, I could only feel the fox's power in your body, not the chakra that was pouring out of your body, don't worry Naruto the 4th was a seal master his work with not be undone that easily." Sarutobi looked down at the small child for a second before asking his dreaded question. "Naruto I need specifics, I need to know everything the village has been doing behind my back." Naruto looked up then averted his gaze embarrassed.

"No." he said simply.

"Why not?" Sarutobi asked confused.

"I shouldn't have said as much as I did, I don't want people looking at me and seeing only the bad things that have happened to me." Sarutobi smiled at Naruto as he said this.

"Do not worry Naruto I will always see the the wonderful prankster who never fails to make me laugh even when though I have to act responsible for appearance sake." Naruto looked up at him in surprise before smiling brightly.

"Well I guess I can tell you then, but only if you swear you mean that." Naruto waited for him to swear it. "Well its has been going on for a long time, the store owners sell me crappy goods for high prices, Mizuki would take me aside in class to teach me different stuff then everyone else when we did practical stuff, the orphan matron threw me out 3 years ago saying she didn't have to take care of a worthless creature like me anymore."

Sarutobi eyes widened at the last one, "Why didn't you say anything Naruto?". Naruto shrugged and mumble something about how people saw him.

Naruto looked up in surprise, " You mean you didn't know about any of this?"

"Naruto I've been getting weekly reports from the orphan matron for years keeping me informed of your health and life there, I got one just this morning." Sarutobi pulled it out and showed him the report.

"So you don't know that I am living in an apartment building on the other side of town?" Naruto practically yelled.

Sarutobi looked at Naruto confused, "What, why are you living there?"

"Well it took me about 6 months of living on the street and stealing the checks I finally remembered she was getting for keeping me before I could find someone who would let me rent an apartment. And it was all I could afford with the allowance I get every month.

A little bit of anger started to leak out of Sarutobi again, "Naruto your allowance is substantially larger than what other orphans get, you should have been able to rent an apartment building in the nicest part of town and still have enough to buy groceries and cloth twice over."

"What are you talking about I only get about 50 000 ryo a month." Naruto asked confused. Naruto watched as the Hokage struggled with himself for a moment then he picked a little bell up and rang it. Instantly 4 ANBU agents appeared.

"Weasel-kun you are to go to the locked room on the 2nd floor and retrieve a scroll there for me using this key, guard both with your life. Dog-kun you are to awaken Ibiki and Anko and take them with you to arrest the orphan matron then take her to the interrogation centre, Bear-kun you are to go to the records room and collect the war orphan's allowance records and all of Naruto's records then meet with Weasel-kun and bring them here. Hawk-kun I wish you to take this letter and have enough copies made to be sent to every household in Konaha. Now go and do not falter in these tasks." With this all for disappeared with puffs of smoke. Sarutobi took off hi hat and robe and revealed that underneath he was wearing ANBU pants and a long sleeve over-shirt. Walking over to the window he turned to Naruto and motioned him to follow, he noticed with surprise that Naruto no longer looked tired. "Well while they are doing that we will be going to your apartment to gather up your things and bring them here. Until this those situation is figured out you will be living with my family here, okay Naruto." Naruto nodded shock spreading across his face.

Putting his foot on the window sill The Hokage looked down at him, "So who will make it to your apartment first? The Professor or the Next Hokage hmm?" and with that they were away running over the rooftops, running along the Shinobi highway.


Sorry for the wait I had this stored on my usb stick and I got corrupted twice and then my pc crashed and deleted half of it the 3rd time I typed it out. I know the fact that with pure chakra Naruto was able to pin the Hokage and ANBU down but remember that Naruto's chakra reserves are enormous th Hokage was caught unaware and plus the fact that he is past his prime. Also realize that this is how I want it to happen so unless you have a constructive suggestion I like then this is how its gonna be.

Big thanks to Jnottle, geetac, buzzbumble and T00STr00ng for being the first reviews I have ever had.
