Well here's chapter two for you all, hope you like it. Also thanks for the review ZariGS and as to Dark Link M Smith, sorry you didn't like that choice but it was done for a reason, it ties into the plot later on, hope you give it a try again. I also made a minor change to the end of chapter one since I messed that up, I was thinking two different things for that line and put the wrong one down so if you want to just go back and read the last few paragraphs, it's just after Naruto woke up in the hospital.

Chapter 2

Before the Hokage could finish speaking the ANBU with the dog mask walked in and said as he took his mask off, "You no longer live at the orphanage and you can call me aniki."

Naruto's jaw dropped once again in a short amount of time to him and he slowly said, "Nani?"

The Hokage and ANBU just chuckled and the ANBU said, "My name is Kakashi and I am now your legal guardian, I won't be able to make up for a parent, mainly because I don't think I fit that role but I will be your older brother now. It's the least I can do for your father."

After Naruto processed all the information he leapt out of the bed and hugged Kakashi fiercely causing Kakashi and Sarutobi to chuckle before it struck him and he looked up at Kakashi and asked, "How did you know my father? Who is he?"

Kakashi sighed before saying, "I can't tell you who he is but I'll say this; he was a powerful man and was like a second father too me."

Naruto nodded accepting that answer when Sarutobi said, "We can tell you become strong enough to defend yourself though which brings me to my next question for you. Do you wish to enter the Ninja Academy?"

Naruto looked back to Sarutobi with wide eyes before tackling him into a hug yelling, "YES!" nonstop.

Sarutobi then said, "But you will have to wait until you're six or seven, which ever you prefer to go in at."

"Demo, I need to tell you what happened while I was unconscious…" Naruto trailed off not knowing how to explain it all.

Kakashi and Sarutobi both slightly paled and both thought, 'Did he meet the Kyuubi?"

Naruto then asked, "Can we talk in your office Oji-san? I don't want anyone listening."

Sarutobi nodded and said, "Alright Naruto-kun, we'll sign you out and take you to the Hokage tower."

Naruto just smiled is ever foxy grin and said, "Thanks a lot Oji-san."

Naruto then got down from Sarutobi and walked behind them as they went to the front counter with Naruto staying fairly close to Kakashi; he was getting the glares again. After they signed him out Kakashi picked Naruto up before they shunshined back to the tower to listen to what Naruto wanted to tell them. After they got inside the tower Naruto asked, "Can you have anyone in here leave besides you two and then make it so no one can hear us? If it is possible."

Sarutobi chuckled and signaled for the two ANBU hiding to leave and then set up a privacy jutsu causing the walls to glow blue before he said, "There we are alone now and no one can hear us, so what is it that you need to tell us?"

Naruto fidgeted slightly before saying, "While I was unconscious I met Kami-Sama."

Sarutobi who was in the process of lighting his pipe dropped it as his jaw hit the floor and Kakashi looked at Naruto with wide eyes. After a minute or so Sarutobi snapped out of his shock and said, "Please explain."

Naruto then told them about how he woke up in the forest and that he heard someone speak behind him and when he asked what was going on he learned that she was Kami-Sama. He then told them about how he asked why was he in her domain when he should be in hell since he thought he was a demon which caused Sarutobi and Kakashi to stiffen slightly. He then explained how she pulled him into a hug and told him that he was not a demon and said that he was probably the most pure soul in existence causing the two to smile slightly. Naruto paused before saying, "She then told me about Kyuubi…when were you going to explain that one to me old man?"

Sarutobi and Kakashi both sighed and Sarutobi slumped into his seat before saying, "I planned on telling you when you made Genin in hopes that you would have a somewhat normal childhood which I realize now was impossible because of our idiot villagers."

The Hokage paused for a bit before saying, "I hope you can forgive this foolish old man Naruto-kun."

Naruto gave his foxy grin before saying, "I forgive you Oji-san, and you did it in hopes that I could live a normal life as possible, but still you should have thought to tell me before I was a Genin."

Kakashi then stood next to Naruto and put his hand on his shoulder in a comforting way before saying, "Kami-Sama was right Naruto; you really are the most pure soul out there."

Naruto smiled brightly and said, "Thanks Kaka-nii" which caused him to eye smile since he had is ever present face mask on with his headband covering his left eye.

After a moment Naruto said something they both dreaded to hear, "She then had me meet Kyuubi."

Sarutobi and Kakashi both froze when he said that and Sarutobi asked, "What happened."

Naruto the explained how Kyuubi was actually a girl and was a sobbing mess when she first appeared which caused them both to widen their eyes at hearing Kyuubi was also a girl. He then explained how she cried sorry over and over to him and that she explained how it was her fault he lived a life of horror. Naruto paused to let them digest the information before saying, "She also didn't mean to attack our village."

Kakashi and Sarutobi gasped in shock and both said at the same time, "What do you mean?"

"She was placed under a genjutsu which fueled her anger and bloodlust and she lost herself to it and when she came to she was already sealed inside me." Naruto explained.

Naruto then explained everything else that happened and how Kami-Sama wanted to train him and that Kyuubi was free in spirit but not chakra since they would both die if the seal broke fully. By the time Naruto was done explaining; both Kakashi and Sarutobi were gob smacked at everything Naruto told them. Before Sarutobi or Kakashi could say anything there was a quick knock on the door and Sarutobi called out, "Enter."

The ANBU with the weasel mask stepped in and said, "Hokage-Sama, there are two girls outside the village gates asking for entrance, they say they know Naruto-kun."

The Hokage nodded and said, "Bring them here at once."

The ANBU nodded quickly before he left with a, "Hai Hokage-Sama."

They waited in silence for around five minutes before the ANBU returned with two girls around Naruto's age in tow. When Naruto saw them he jumped up and pulled them into a tight hug saying, "You are really here now! Although, why do you look like your my age now?"

Kami laughed as she hugged him back before saying, "We thought it would be better for you if we appeared as your age."

Naruto teared up slightly before pulling them into a tighter hug. While this was going on, the ANBU that brought them in was looking at them confused before he asked, "What is going on Hokage-Sama?"

"Close the door and take off your mask Weasel-san." Sarutobi said briefly.

The ANBU nodded before he closed the door and took his mask off to reveal the face of Itachi Uchiha and he asked, "So what is going on Hokage-Sama?"

Sarutobi looked to Naruto before asking, "Do you mind if we explain to Itachi-kun what happened? He was the ANBU that took care of Ayame-chan."

Naruto looked to Kami who was now standing beside him with Kyuubi on his other side and when she nodded he said, "Go ahead Oji-san."

The Hokage then proceeded to explain the situation to Itachi who despite his normal neutral expression had his jaw dropped and said, "Nani?"

"That was basically our reaction as well so you now know that you are in the presence of Kami-Sama and Kyuubi" Sarutobi said while chuckling.

Sarutobi then stood up and walked in front of Kami and bowed deeply as he said, "I thank you for deciding to help Naruto-kun and if you need anything you only need to ask."

Kami smiled slightly before she said, "No need for calling me Kami-Sama, you can call me Kanari, that is the name my father gave me at birth and it is no trouble in helping Naruto-kun; he deserves it by far."

Sarutobi nodded and stood back up before saying, "So what do we call you Kyuubi? We can't really call you Kyuubi in the village, the villagers would riot."

Kyuubi bit her lip before she said, "I never received a name when I was born, my parents were killed minutes after my birth."

Seeing her look sad, Naruto walked over to her and hugged her in a comforting way before saying, "Then I'll call you Tenshi since you are an angel to me."

This caused her to cry slightly and wrap around him in a tight hug while Kakashi leaned over to Sarutobi and Itachi before muttering, "He is going to be a lady killer with lines like that and he probably doesn't even know it."

Sarutobi and Itachi both had to stifle a laugh from how true that statement was. Naruto then thought for a moment before breaking off the hug and said to the Hokage, "Where will they stay since they are training me here?"

"Well first we have to give them citizen status before we do anything so Kanari and Tenshi, could you please come over here and sign some papers?" Sarutobi said.

The two girls nodded and walked over to him and signed the papers he pulled from the desk drawers. He then looked to Kakashi and said, "Do you mind them staying with you so they're close to Naruto?"

Kakashi sighed before saying, "I don't mind at all but I don't have enough room at my current apartment, I only have one extra room that was going to go to Naruto."

The third Hokage nodded before saying, "Then we'll just get you a bigger apartment."

"How will I afford a bigger one though? I barely keep up with the one I'm in now since it's a very nice one at that and with all the other stuff I have to buy it takes a toll on my money."

"Don't worry about it; I'll cover all the details for it so we'll just have to find something with four bedrooms." Sarutobi paused before he turned to Itachi and asked, "Can you get me the book with all available homes from my secretary?"

Itachi nodded and left to get the book and when he returned he handed it to the Hokage who began leafing through it. After a few minutes he said, "Kakashi come look at this one, it's definitely big enough, just need to know if you like it."

Kakashi walked over and took the book when the Hokage held it out and looked over the page. After he finished reading it over he did his trademark eye smile and said, "It's perfect."

Sarutobi smiled and wrote something down on a piece of paper before handing it to Kakashi and said, "Here's the address, now why don't you take Naruto-kun, Tenshi-chan, and Kanari-chan to get some lunch, and also get Naruto some knew clothes, his are a bit worse for wear."

Everyone looked towards Naruto who smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, his current clothing were little more than rags now from all the cuts they received and had a bad repair job done to them. Naruto then said, "New clothes would be nice."

Everyone chuckled lightly, even Itachi. The Hokage then handed an envelope with money inside it and said to Kakashi, "It's on me this time so get him the good stuff, and whatever he needs for his training."

Kakashi nodded and said, "Hai Hokage-Sama." He then turned to Naruto and said, "Come on otouto, Tenshi-san, Kanari-san, let's go get some new clothes for Naruto and then get some lunch before we pack up the apartment and move to our knew home."

After a chorus of "Hai's" they set off for a shop Kakashi knew that didn't have anything against Naruto. While walking down the road, Kanari and Tenshi both noticed how the villagers were glaring with hate at Naruto and Tenshi thought, 'It's so much worse seeing the glares like this then from his memories.'

After about ten minutes of walking they arrived at a shop called Higurashi's Weapon and Ninja Apparel and walked in. Naruto and the girls stared in awe at the sheer number of weapons on the walls and all the different styles of clothing. Kakashi turned to them and said, "Go ahead and pick out some clothes, and I mean all of you, I can cover whatever Hokage-Sama's money doesn't cover."

The group smiled happily and each started to browse through the store as Kakashi went to talk to the owner. After about ten minutes of looking Tenshi had decided on a battle kimono that was deep crimson in color and had a layer of thin but sturdy metal in the kimono; it also had several foxes on it and she chose some black ninja sandals to go with it. Kanari chose something similar but it was a silver color that really brought out her hair and eye color, just like Tenshi's did. She also chose some simple sandals that were also silver.

As the two girls finished choosing their outfits, Naruto was still deciding on the final part, he was stuck between two different trench coats, one that was solid black with straps on the back to hold a weapon in place and a white one that had many pockets on the inside of it. After a few more minutes of deciding he grabbed the one he chose and went into a changing room and started to change into his new outfit. After a few minutes he came out and his choice of clothing made Kakashi double take, he was wearing black combat boots, black ANBU styled pants with a matching shirt and black fingerless gloves with the black trench coat over it all. Kakashi then thought, 'His style is so similar to his fathers' it's scary, only real difference is his color, while Minato had a white coat his is black like everything else.'

"So what do you all think?" Naruto asked casually.

"You look great Naruto-kun." Tenshi said while Kanari nodded in agreement.

"It looks good on you Naruto, but why did you choose all of that?" Kakashi asked.

"I wanted an outfit that showed power so people stop looking down on me." Naruto said simply.

"Well good choice then." Kakashi said with his eye smile.

They then walked up to the counter to pay and Naruto stared wide eyed at the man who was behind the counter. One thought went through Naruto's mind, 'He's huge!'

The man stood at roughly 6'6" and had the muscle to back up his height. He wore a blacksmith apron over a leather shirt and leather pants with steel-toe boots on. When the man saw Naruto he smiled and said, "I wonder when I was going to see you in here Naruto, my name is Kazuma Higurashi, I knew your father when we were nothing but genin's, sadly I had to retire though as I injured my leg beyond repair, so now I own this shop. Always remember that you are welcome here."

Naruto smiled brightly and said, "Thanks Kazuma-Ojisan."

Kazuma then looked over all the gear he was wearing and asked, "So training to be a ninja are you?"

Naruto nodded and said, "Yep, I want to be able to protect myself and everyone precious to me."

"That's a worthy goal you have there Naruto, now let's get all this ringed up." Kazuma said.

After a few minutes of going over the prices he had it rung up to 29,214 ryo. Once he had the price and told them, Kakashi went through the envelope and pulled out 30.000 ryo and said, "Here's 30,000 and keep the change."

Kazuma bowed and said, "Thank you Kakashi-san, I hope to see you all again soon."

The group said their goodbyes to Kazuma and left to go get their lunch. They decided on going to Ichiraku's so Naruto could see Ayame and Teuchi. Upon arrival Naruto saw Ayame and immediately ran over to her jumping over the counter and pulled her into a hug saying, "I'm so sorry for what happened to you Ayame, if you hadn't walked me home you wouldn't have been attacked with me."

Ayame just hugged Naruto back and said, "It's alright Naruto-kun, it wasn't your fault, and I made a full recovery so no harm done."

After they broke apart the group ordered their food and made small talk as they ate. Once they were finished they went to Kakashi's apartment and helped pack it up and once they finished boxing everything Kakashi sealed it all in a sealing scroll. "Alright everyone, let's head to the new place."

Once they arrived at the address; Naruto, Tenshi, and Kanari stared in awe at the house, it was a two story house with at least 6 bedrooms and a beautiful front yard with a private garden along the side of the house and a tree in the backyard.

Kakashi looked to Naruto and said, "Welcome home otouto."

And there's chapter two, hope you all enjoyed it, please leave a review if you liked it and take care.
