The Next Day
Sarutobi could not believe what Naruto had said to him. Well actually he could, because all his points were completely valid.
He felt so ashamed that he had let Naruto go through this without really helping at all. All he could think to do was to give him what he wanted. Maybe, just maybe, he would pay at least a little bit of what he owed to Naruto.
He was now headed from his home to his office. He would get the scroll detailing the ownership of the Namikaze compound. He still could not publicly reveal Naruto's true heritage due to the enemies he would recieve from Iwa, but he would at least try to give him what he deserved.
He arrived at the Hokage tower and realized what a fit the council would throw if they got word of this, and he knew they would.
The Ninja portion of the council was usualy not so bad, save one clan head *ahem* HYUUGA *hem*, but the civilian side was an entirely different matter.
The civilian side of the council seemed to strive to make his life as hard as possible. Although what they tried to do to Naruto made it seem like a walk in the park.
Arriving inside his office, he immediately went to the pictures of the previous Hokage on the wall.
'Clever hiding spot, Minato,' Sarutobi thought while removing the fourth's picture from the wall.
It appeared just a blank wall, but after applying some chakra, a seal became evident. After a few seconds of chakra application, the seal began to glow.
The portion of the wall in which the picture previously hung, transformed into a steel safe. The only problem: there was no handle.
Normally this might end up as a problem, but Sarutobi knew the secret behind it. He bit his thumb and wiped some of the blood on the blank steel.
The door slowly swung open revealing a handful of scrolls. He grabbed one with the kanji for 'Home' on it.
Training Ground 44
Naruto was having a stare down... with a tree. He was staring intently at one of the many huge trees located in the so called 'Forest of Death'. He thought it was a rather docile place, where no one bothered him.
He began signing at a rapid pace without so much as a blink.
"Futon: One Thousand Blades!" he shouted.
At first, nothing happened. Then the tree disappeared. A fine layer of saw dust was covering the ground.
"Yet another wind jutsu created and mastered. You're getting pretty good at this," called Katsumi from her spot leaning on a nearby tree.
"There was not a sufficient number of them. So the solution would be to make them," he replied simply.
"Well that's true. If you want to learn another fire jutsu on the other hand, I know plenty."
"As much as I like The Grand Fireball, better ones wouldn't hurt," he said walking over to her.
Before she could reply, an ANBU agent appeared behind him.
"Kakashi what do you want?" he asked, none too nicely, without looking back nor breaking step.
A little annoyed at being so easily sensed, Kakashi answered anyway. "Hokage-sama requests your presence. He said it was about your living accommodations and that you would understand."
"Very well. Ja Ne Katsu-chan," he sighed before disappearing without a trace.
Hokage's office
Sarutobi never noticed the shadowy figure slip in through his window. Now did he notice it when said figure sat down in one of the chairs in front of his desk. He was too caught up in the scroll he was reading.
"You called," Naruto said.
"AH! Oh. It's just you. Don't scare me like that!" Sarutobi scolded lightly.
"Don't let your guard down," Naruto countered.
The hokage simply sighed. He handed Naruto the scroll he was reading so intenty.
"It's the property right to the Namikaze coumpound. I have completed my portion, so now all you need to do is sign at the bottom."
Naruto never let his emotionless mask slip, but he was slightly suprised. He didn't think the Hokage could actually get the right, much less this quickly.
He simply grabbed the scroll and read it. After a good few minutes, he grabbed a brush from the Hokage's desk and signed 'Naruto Namikaze'.
"Now, in order to enter for the first time you mustt apply blood to the seal on the front gate. Any other time, it will recognize your chakra signature and simply open for you. However, there is an invisible seal barrier that does not allow any other people to enter save those you allow by either dropping the barrier from the inside, applying chakra from the outside to temporarily drop the barrier, or by painting a seal on them to allow them to drop the barrier any time," Hiruzen lechured him.
"I know," was Naruto's reply. "I've been there."
He then disappeared.
On the Hokage Monument
Naruto appeared on top of the highest point of the Fourth Hokage's hair. Below next to him on a different tip of hair, was Katsumi.
The sun was dipping below the horizon, creating a beautiful sunset over all over of of Konaha.
"Shall we," Naruto said indicating the forest behind them.
"Sure. About time you can finally go inside your true home," she replied hopping down.
They walked into the forest together.
After a few minutes of walking, the two reached a stone wall. It was quite huge, reaching to about a hundred feet tall, and streched for about as a good half a mile in either direction. There was Huge stone gate before them.
It reached about an eighth of the way up the wall and was twenty feet wide. About half way up the gate was a symbol etched into the greyish stone.
It had a circular border and three spiraling branches leading of from the center. Each of the three branches had another circle attached which led of to a spike.(look at logo of story) It was the symbol of the Namikaze clan.
Naruto walked up to the gate and bit his thumb. He swiped the fresh blood across the gate. A seal appeared glowing a bright blue. It began opening, but before walking in, he applied chakra to the invisible barrier.
A sphere surrounding the entire compound, began to glow the same blue as the seal.
After it disappeared, They both walked into the compound.
Naruto actually dropped his emotionless mask and his jaw. It was HUGE.
"What are you supprised?" Katsumi asked. "The Namikaze clan was one of the largest clans in Konaha before they disbanded from their studies that were not approved."
"Yeah I may have seen the walls but still this place is big!" he shouted, amazed. Then he realized something as the gates shut and the barrier resumed guarding, so he returned to his usual emotionless self. "Why didn't Iwa destroy this place?"
"The barrier you saw earlier not only protects the entirety of the compound, but casts a genjutsu hiding it's location." When Naruto still looked confused she continued. "Why you cold see it was because you are a Namikaze. The seal doesn't affect you. And I didn't really see it until you released the barrier."
"Oh, ok then. Let's take a look around." he said walking towards the center. of the enormous compound.
