Well I won't lie to you guys, but I still don't own Naruto. Sad as that may be I did manage to write this Christmas special for all of you wonderful readers. I also want to apologize for not uploading this sooner, some things happened that forced me to delay writing some parts of the story. Please leave reviews on the new genin teams and some of the jonin-sensei's. I hope you will enjoy it as my Christmas gift to all of you. Well I won't try and take up too much of your time, have fun reading.
A few seconds into the hug a sudden alarm started to go off in her room and they both jumped and shouted, "WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE FOR GOING TO ICHIRAKU'S!" They then separated and ran into their rooms to get ready and rushed out together to meet up with their friends.
The two Uzumaki children ran out of their rooms and looked at the clock in the living room, which displayed that it was 7:10 and they were supposed to be meeting their friends in the park at 7:15. Himawari looked at Anthony and said, "We need to hurry up and get over to there, do you have any Hirashin markers in the park?"
Anthony pulled out a scroll from a side drawer in his room and looked at I for a few seconds and shook his head. "I don't have any markers in the park I think I'll put one in there tonight. I mean if I become Hokage someday I don't want to leave anywhere I can't get to quickly." They both giggled after he finished.
"Well if you going to be Hokage An-kun you're going to need to be stronger than our tou-san, Boruto-nii, and Sarada-nee."
Anthony grinned as he smiled his he stuck up his thumb and pointed at him with it, "I don't know if I'm just ready to take on them right now. I mean we aren't even genin yet," He chuckled a little bit, "but I do think that I'll be able to do it one day. Believe it" With that they both had to hold their sides from laughing so hard at the saying from their mother's stories about their father. Anthony glanced at the clock and noticed that after all their fun and games they had under a minute to get to the park. He crouched down and started a few hand signs and said, "We don't have long left until we need to get to the park so I'll do a technique I created that will allow us to get there, so hold onto me Hime." She quickly grabbed his shoulders before he finished the last hand sign and they warped out of the house.
At the park
The others were already sitting in the park talking to each other when something started to glow in front of them and after a flash of blue and purple the youngest of the Uzumaki children were standing front of them. Anthony spoke as they appeared saying, "Space-time technique: Supotto henkō. (Spot change)." They were all shocked to see the children appear in front of them, but sweat dropped when they heard what Anthony called the jutsu.
Konohamaru was the first to speak after the sudden appearance of the two academy students and asked, "You two are academy students, right?"
"Not for much longer we're going to graduate soon and then it won't be long until you all call me lord eighth. With that he formed a quick henge to make it look like he was wearing the hokage outfit instead of his other clothes.
This got a few laughs from the group a "troublesome" from the Nara genin, but Konohamaru had a look of shock and saw a young version of his surrogate older brother. He shook it off and said, "You'll have to get it before my team and I, Anthony. Still think you have a chance."
The boy answered with a slight shrug and said, "Maybe not right now, but just you watch. I'll become the best hokage ever and protect everyone. BELIEVE IT!" No one even looked to doubt the boy after that and just nodded their heads.
After a few seconds and a few giggles Himawari finally walked over and said, "Well I think it's about time we head out to Ichiraku's before Ayame-nee closes it up for the night."
This had a quite the effect as Konohamaru, Boruto, and Anthony all rushed to the gate, but Himawari noticed Anthony make some clones and had them mark some spots in the park with Hirashin markers. She didn't say anything and no one else seemed to notice, so they walked to the best ramen place in all the elemental nations. They all enjoyed the time at Ichiraku's and caught up with each other since after their promotions to chunin it was hard to find them all to get together and keep up with each other. No one seemed to notice the new closeness of the two academy students though.
About a week later
It was Christmas night and Naruto had invited everyone to a party at the Uzumaki compound. Unsurprisingly the Hyuuga, Nara, Akimichi, Sarutobi, Uchiha, Senju, Hatake, Yamanaka, and some other clans decided to accept the information. Some other major clans waited until a few seconds before Christmas Eve to accept those being the Aburame, Inuzuka, Kurama, and the newly formed Lee clan accepted. The only known clan to not to allow any to accept the invitation is the remaining few of the Shimura clan. Most villagers showed up to the Uzumaki compound to celebrate the holidays with the ninjas.
We find the children walking around the outside of the compound building given a tour by the three Uzumaki siblings to their friends. Sarada and a few others that have already been in the compound were surprised when Anthony and Himawari were showing off some of the new buildings, training grounds, and equipment that they installed that was not there the last time she was inside the compound. They were all very surprised, with the exception of team 7, of the equipment that Himawari was bragging on how her An-kun had come up with it one night and put into creation the final product in as short as a few days and his longest experiment lasting almost a year. The young heirs were all asking questions about everything they were showed and this led to questions from all of them asking if Anthony at one point or another if he could share a piece of equipment, but he said he could just have another made that could even have some of the improvements he was thinking of adding to the current states of the equipment.
After a few more moments of the children getting the grand tour and promises of getting the equipment Anthony and Himawari showed them they all went back into the main residency house. They were welcomed by all of the adults who took a break from their own conversations to see the kids enter and asked all about their tour of the compound. All of the adults, including the Uzumaki parents, were all surprised to hear about all of the equipment that far surpassed anything they thought was available in Konoha. Many turned and called out in a whine, "What have you been hiding from us Naruto? Hinata?"
The two parents could do nothing, but look at their younger children and asked the chuckling pair, "What are they talking about? We don't have such futuristic technologies." They stopped for a second before glancing at Anthony and continued, "Do we?"
The boy nodded his head and said, "I've made a lot of progress on some of those crazy ideas I have been talking to you about that Naruto-otosan. Remember the dreams I would talk to you about and all the machines and technology that could help with certain parts of training?" Naruto nodded his head remembering the child talking to him about the dreams of equipment, "Well after you told me there was no such thing as those machines we…" He gestured to Himawari and himself, "…took it upon ourselves to find a way to make them a reality."
The young girl nodded and offered up, "I didn't help to much, though. An-kun…" The parents had a surprised expression on their faces for an instant and no one, but Anthony and Susuke really caught it and they only caught a glimmer of it themselves, noticed the change, "…only bounced ideas off of me and test them with him."
"But still to have accomplished more than our research and design teams that is ridiculous and unheard of for children of your age and rank." The rest of the group of ninjas and civilians all had surprised and awed expressions, they finally believed the children's claims.
Anthony wanted to get out of the focal point of the party and have everyone get back to its original purpose, so he flashed away, once again utilizing the fourth hokage's Hirashin, to his room and back into the dining hall to give her the gift he made for her. The adults noticing what it was he was trying to do took a page form his book and started swapping gifts with one another. She opens the wrapped box to reveal a very small and delicate looking chain that resembled the metal that the sage of six paths created to make his legendary tools. "The chain is made from the same unbreakable material that the sage of six paths used with the treasured tools." He stopped allowing her and some of the other visitors who were interested in his gift. She followed the chain down to its base where she found a black jade pendant that had the multiple designs of her family; the Hyuuga clan symbol, the Uzumaki clan symbol, the Namikaze lightning bolt, an odd-looking symbol she didn't recognize, and the yin-yang symbols. All the clan symbols were gems or combination of gems that matched the colors of the clan symbols down to the smallest detail. "I included all of clan crests that you could claim as your ancestry and then the two that I can call my own." Gasps from everyone close enough to hear this and caused everyone to hush and focus on the child once again.
"What do you mean? You have clans? As in more than one?"
"Yes, I am currently the only of the Ranse clan, it is represented by the yin-yang symbol on the necklace and it is the one that I created to represent me and my future family. The other one represents the past that I have and the dark members that are still a part of it."
"And which clan is that Anthony?"
"I don't want to really tell anyone yet, they were a truly terrible clan. I will Hima-chan and she can tell you if she wants." With that said he grabbed Himawari's wrist and flashed away to the now empty park.
At the park
Himawari looked up at Anthony and asked, "If you really don't want to tell me you don't have too."
He shook his head, "I want to be the one you hear it from Hima-chan, but I don't think I that I would be able to take it if they didn't look at me the same way after they knew and I was the one to tell them. I want everyone to know, but I can't look at them while they hear the family I am from. I know that I can trust you to know and not look at me differently though Hime."
"I will never look at you any differently than how I am right this moment."
"I know and thank you Hima-chan." He took a quick breath and looked into her pale blue eyes, "The last symbol on your pendant, my other clan, and my full name truly is Anthony Uzumaki Otsutsuki-Ranse."
They sat there in silence after him revealing this to her. He was about to freak out about her not saying anything when she suddenly said, "Were you ever sealed away like Kaguya or the one that attacked during my brothers first chunin exam? Did you ever do anything like them and why don't you look like the rest of them."
He flinched when he heard her questions, but easily shook his head. "I would never do anything like my other family members and though I have never been sealed away like some of the ones I know. I have helped in training a few of my nephews before and helped them become better people, but they are no longer alive."
She nodded her head and said, "Well then I see no reason to hate or hold anything they have done against you personally. You were born into a clan and you had no choice in that matter, but I thought they were a clan that had no more members?"
We are limited to those that were born from the great tree that houses the ten-tailed beast, though a few of our clan were born from members born form the tree like the sage and their families who then took on different names of their own."
"Thanks for telling me this, but now I need to ask were you one of the ones from the tree or from one of the already existing members of the clan?"
Anthony shrugged this off and said, "You will know all in due time princess, I promise I will tell you." With this said he holds out his hand and she grabs his outstretched hand and they flashed back to the party.
Back at the party
The party guests were anxiously waiting for the two children to return to them so they could answer their questions. There was very limited conversation, until in a sudden flash they all turned around to see the two children holding hands. They were now standing on a small stage that was positioned somewhere close to the center of the building. The hush that had spread around the building quickly was interrupted as everyone in the room started up demanding answers. The young boy walked forward and called out in a loud voice that was easily heard shouting, "QUEIT! OR ELSE NO QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED" With this said a large hush quickly spread throughout the building. Anthony turned and said to Himawari, "If you would like you can tell them all now before I lose my nerve and or my patience for this."
They young girl nodded and walked beside him and regripped his hand as she said in a small voice that many had to lean forward to hear, "I would like to make sure that everyone knows that An-kun is not a monster and has been a very good and outstanding member of the leaf." Everyone in the crowd nodded and their curiosity was starting to get the best of them, "he was a member of the former Otsutsuki clan." The crowd was hushed, before it was raised with a sudden cluster of voices were heard.
One shook the very building they were all in as it thundered, "EVERYONE BE QUIET AND LET THEM EXPLAIN THEMSELVES." The crowd looked at a deeply troubled Naruto Uzumaki.
Anthony called out before anyone could say anything, "What Hima-chan said was the truth. My true name is Anthony Uzumaki Otsutsuki-Ranse." Naruto and Hinata were proud that he still used their last name in his own, showing that he was still a member of the family.
"That is always who you shall always be my son!" Called out Naruto
"You will always be a member of our family." Called Hinata
"We are proud to call you our dear friend and future shinobi of the hidden leaf village." Called out Sarada and a few of his other friends.
"You will always be my brother and future comrade." Called Boruto
The other civilians and ninja just nodded their heads to what the others said.
Himawari leaned in and kissed his cheek which caused the other members in the party to look on them in surprise as she said, "You will always be my special person and I can't wait to see what the future will hold for us." With this the young heirs and adults were in need of time to rest and come to terms with all the new information that they had just received.
The Uzumaki family all gathered onto the stage and called out, "Merry Christmas everyone and I hope you all have a happy new year." With similar echoes coming from around the building, the families started to slip out and return to their own homes. The Uzumaki's were the last group in the room before they sighed and walked back to the main house and into their rooms. It wasn't long until the house was silent and full of a sleeping family of Uzumaki's.
