Hey guys here's another chapter. Before we begin, three matters of business. The choices for Uzukage are Yagura, Utakata, Tsunade, or an OC which was suggested by a reviewer, you can see the description of the oc in the reviews of the story. Vote and let me know what you think.

Second, what summoning contract do you think Naruto should get? I'm not gonna go the normal route and give him the toads so I need some ideas for other contracts. And third, after talking with one of the readers a little bit, I decided to change the crystal release from needing fire/earth to earth/lightning, I will go back at a later date and change that in the first chapter.

It had been two days since the interaction between Naruto and Inari. Kakashi woke the next day and walked out to see Sakura and Sasuke doing the tree climbing exercise. He looked around for Naruto but couldn't find him. "Even if he didn't come back the other night and spent all his time training, he should have made it back by now." Kakashi thought as he walked toward the two genin. "Have either of you seen Naruto?"

Sasuke stopped running about half way of the tree he was on and looked at his sensei. "I haven't seen him since he left two nights ago sensei. Should we go look for him?" Sasuke asked landing in front of Kakashi with Sakura.

Kakashi nodded before speaking. "Sakura, stay here and watch over the family. If anything happens light one of the signal flares and we'll be back. Come on Sasuke, let's see if we can find the blond gaki."

Sasuke and Kakashi searched for about thirty minutes before coming to a small clearing that looked like it had been used for training or a fight. Kakashi made a few hand signs before slamming his hands on the ground. There was a puff of smoke and when it cleared, there was a small brown dog with a blue vest and a Konoha headband.

"Yo Kakashi, what do you need?" asked the dog.

"Pakkun, I need you to track down Naruto's scent. He's missing and we can't seem to find him." Kakashi replied getting a nod from Pakkun who began to sniff around. Pakkun walked around for a few minutes before looking back to the two ninja.

"Come on, he went this way. There's another scent with his but I don't know who they are." Pakkun said as he leapt off into the trees.

Sasuke and Kakashi followed the ninja hound for about three miles until they came upon a small hut being suspended in the trees by a few cables. They slowly their way into the hideout watching for traps or enemy ninja. After making it into the hut without seeing any ninja or setting off traps, they looked around to find the place empty all except for a letter to Zabuza from Gato. Seeing that Naruto was possibly captured by Zabuza, Kakashi began to worry.

"Pakkun, can you tell which way they went?" Kakashi asked.

"Naruto's scent and two others went into the northeast." Pakkun replied.

"What's going on sensei?" Sasuke asked.

"I think Naruto may have been captured by Zabuza." Kakashi said as he turned to a map hung on the wall. "If they headed northeast from here, then maybe they are trying to take him back to Kiri to probably join in the civil war." Kakashi said while thinking something else. "Could Zabuza have found out he is a jinchuriki and took Naruto to Kiri?"

Sasuke looked at the map before his eyes landed on a small area of land to the northeast of Wave Country. "Land of Whirlpools, so he used this mission to finally go home. But why are you taking Zabuza with you Naruto? You better be careful ototo, you promised to help me find Itachi." Sasuke thought quietly to himself.

(Flashback)

A seven year old Naruto was walking down the road to his house after escaping from another mob. As he was walking, he noticed a black haired boy sitting on a pier next to the river. As Naruto walked by, the black haired boy looked up at Naruto. As Naruto looked into Sasuke's eyes, Naruto saw the same thing that Naruto himself always felt, loneliness and anger.

"He's just like me?" Naruto thought as he walked by.

"Indeed he is kit. He just lost his entire clan, it was his brother that did it. You two are more alike than you think, why don't you try and befriends?" Kurumi said.

Naruto just nodded before he turned around and walked back to Sasuke. Naruto didn't say anything as he just simply sat down next to the brooding boy. It was quiet for a few minutes before Naruto spoke up.

"You're just like me." Naruto said causing Sasuke to look at him out of the corner of his eye.

"What do you mean, how am I just like you?" Sasuke asked.

"I can see the loneliness and anger in your eyes. I can't say I know what it's like to lose your family, I never had any to begin with. Only a few people even care for me here." Naruto explained.

Silence once again claimed the area for a few minutes. "How do you deal with it all? I have seen you around the village always acting carefree and happy like none of it bothers you." Sasuke asked.

"Sometimes it does get to me, but I plan on leaving and returning to my clan's home country the first chance I get." Naruto said as he began to explain about his plan while leaving out the parts of the fox. After Naruto explained his plan, Sasuke explained what had happened with his brother and his clan.

"Don't let the hatred eat at you. Use it to push yourself to get stronger. We'll get stronger together and I promise to help you with your brother. My name is Naruto Uzumaki by the way." Naruto said.

"Sasuke Uchiha."

(Flashback End)

Sasuke was snapped out of his thoughts when Kakashi started talking again. "Pakkun, go straight to the hokage and tell him to send the hiraishin team with three anbu to replace us for this mission, I have the seal for them to jump to. Tell him team seven needs to return to Konoha immediately due to an s-ranked emergency." Kakashi said as he motioned for Sasuke to follow.

-XXX-

Hiruzen Sarutobi, third hokage of Konoha, was sitting at his desk working on his endless piles of paperwork. All of a sudden, there was a poof of smoke and his papers were blew everywhere when a dog landed on his desk. "Kakashi better have a damned good reason sending one of his dogs here." The kage growled out looking at his paperwork everywhere.

"Kakashi said to send the hiraishin team with three anbu to replace team seven for the mission they are on. He said it is an s-ranked emergency." Pakkun said with all seriousness.

Hiruzen's eyes went wide at hearing that and he pushed a small button under his desk. Within seconds there was an anbu kneeling before him. "Orders Hokage-sama?" asked the anbu.

"Bring me neko, ryuu, and kuma immediately along with the hiraishin team." Hiruzen said. As soon as the anbu left, a tall man with long white hair with red lines under his eyes stepped out of the shadows. He hand a horned headband with the kanji for oil on it, he wore a green short shirt kimono with matching pants with mesh armor underneath it. He had a red haori with two yellow circles and red wooden sandals.

"What's going on old man?"

"I don't know Jiraiya, but I have a bad feeling." Hiruzen said as the ones he requested entered his office.

"Neko, you are in charge during this mission. You are to protect a bridge builder by the name of Tazuna. He may be targeted by missing nin hired by Gato. The hiraishin team will take you there and return with team seven, Kakashi has the seal with him. Go now." Ordered the kage.

Everyone got into formation before they suddenly disappeared. About five minutes later, team seven appeared in the hokage's office. Sakura looked like she had no idea what was going on, Sasuke was trying to hide a small knowing smirk and managed to do so from everyone but Jiraiya, and Kakashi was fidgeting badly under the aged kage's gaze.

"What is this s-ranked emergency?" asked Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama, I believe that Naruto was either captured or killed during the mission." Kakashi said.

"WHAT!" shouted the toad sage and the god of shinobi. "Explain now Hatake." Demanded the kage.

"The client's grandson had said something about heroes not existing which caused Naruto to say that they do. During this Naruto said that his hero was the yondaime hokage and that he knew who his parents were. Naruto then left to go do what I assumed to be training. He was gone for two days and didn't return, Sasuke and I then used Pakkun to track his scent. We came to a hideout that seemed to be Zabuza's, Pakkun said he could smell Naruto's scent along with two others headed northeast. That was when I sent him here to inform you." Kakashi explained while starting to sweat under the kage's glare.

What happened next no one was expecting as Kakashi suddenly found himself implanted in one of the walls courtesy of one pissed off toad sage. Before anyone could act, Jiraiya appeared in front of Kakashi and grabbed him by his vest and brought him to eye level. "Why the yell didn't you check on your genin sooner Kakashi!" Jiraiya yelled in anger.

"I..I just assumed he was out training, I didn't think this would happen." Kakashi replied nearly pissing himself from the killer intent of Jiraiya.

Instead of replying, Jiraiya just dropped Kakashi and turned to Hiruzen. "I'm going to look for my godson."

Sakura and Sasuke's eyes widened at hearing that, Sakura's out of surprise and Sasuke's out of surprise and anger. Jiraiya started walking toward the window when he was stopped by Sasuke. "Did you just say that you were Naruto's godfather?"

"Yeah, why does it concern you?" Jiraiya asked turning back to the Uchiha.

Sasuke closed his eyes for a brief second, when he reopened them his sharingan spun to life. Sasuke rushed forward in a burst of speed surprising everyone. Sasuke launched his fist forward and connected with Jiraiya's gut causing him to double over in pain.

"You are is godfather and you were never around when he needed you. He never had any family at all in this village and only a few that actually care for him including myself. We became friends shortly after my clan was massacred, we started hanging out more and more until we considered each other brothers. We kept each other from going insane after all the stuff that happened here in this village. He was always abused by this fucking village for some unknown reason and because of that he could have used you being around just a little bit. If he is your godson then why the hell were you never around?" shouted the enraged Uchiha.

Everyone was silent for the first few minutes. No one thought that the Uchiha cared for the blond due to the act the two put up of always fighting with each other. Jiraiya was the first to speak.

"I was told by hokage-sama that he was taking care of Naruto and that everything was ok. During that time I was running my spy network gathering information for the village. I didn't know things had turned out that bad." Jiraiya explained while looking down.

Sasuke then turned to the village leader. "Naruto's mother, was she named Kushina Uzumaki?"

"Who told you that?" asked the kage wide eyed.

"You just confirmed it for me. Somehow Naruto did find out who his parents are but he never told me. My mom told me she was best friends with a woman named Kushina Uzumaki after she moved here from her village. Before the clan was killed, she always said that I should spend time with Naruto and get to know him better. At the time I didn't know why but now I understand, Naruto was the child of her best friend and my mom wanted me and Naruto to become friends like her and Kushina-san." Sasuke explained getting surprised looks from everyone else.

"What else do you know Sasuke?" Kakashi asked.

"Since I know that Kushina-san is Naruto's mother, my guess about his father seems pretty accurate now. Naruto is the son of the yondaime hokage, Minato Namikaze. My mom was one of the few people who knew of the marriage between Kushina and Minato and I learned about it through her."

Silence once again took over the room. Sasuke just looked at the other four ninja in the room waiting for one to speak. "So what are you going to do old man?" asked Jiraiya.

"Go and look for Naruto, Jiraiya. Until you find some evidence that he is still alive, we have to assume the worst. I will address the village as a whole about all this, I don't believe Naruto to be dead but we need evidence to be sure." The kage said rubbing his head.

"You know that the village will react badly knowing how they treated Minato's son." Jiraiya said as he leapt out the window as Hiruzen dismissed everyone.

-XXX-

It was late evening in Konoha, the village had just learned that Naruto was the yondaime's son and a lot were shocked. Some were even afraid that Minato was going to return from the grave and vengeance for his son. Later that evening, a few puffs of smoke could be seen pooping up in different places around the village. At a local ramen stand, four people could be seen setting and talking about the scrolls they received.

"So he finally decided to go through with his plan." Said Teuchi Ichiraku, owner of the Ichiraku ramen stand.

"Yeah I guess he did, sure is going to be quiet around here without the blond goofball." Said a purple haired woman known as Yugao Uzuki.

"Do you think he'll ever be back around? Maybe drop by and say hi or something?" asked Ayame Ichiraku.

"He'll definitely be back around, he knows we care about him and he'll be back to let us know how he's doing. Besides, do you honestly think he can stay away from your guy's ramen?" Anko Mitarashi asked with a laugh causing the others to laugh as well.

A group of five ninja were hopping their way through the trees headed toward Uzu when one of the ninjas started sneezing violently. After a few minutes of sneezing, he continued hopping through the trees. "Man someone must be talking about me pretty badly right now." Naruto said to himself.

"Could be the ones you left the scrolls for ototo." Kurumi said.

"Yeah, you're probably right. Should have been about time for the scrolls to appear." Naruto thought as he kept jumping. Behind him, the other four ninja were talking amongst

"Hey gaki, can we ask you a couple things?" Zabuza asked.

"Go for it."

"How good are you with your mother's blade?" questioned Zabuza.

"Not too great, I definitely need more work with it. I had a sensei back in Konoha who was a master of kenjutsu and she trained me in the basics but that's all we got around to. I was actually hoping you could teach me sometime?" Naruto asked.

"I don't mind but just so you know, my training is hell on earth kid." Zabuza said.

"Do you know what nature affinity you have?" asked Meizu.

"I have a strong wind affinity that I got from my father. I also have the shoton kekkei genkai from my mother which gives me lightning and earth as well." Naruto said creating a crystal in his hand surprising the four ninja.

"Well, you told us who your mother is, can we know who your father was?" asked Gozu with curiousness in his voice.

"Well, my father was one of the strongest people of Konoha. He took out a large portion of the Iwa army during the third shinobi war and a flee on sight order against him." Naruto said causing Zabuza's eyes to widen.

"Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me. Kushina would end up marrying him wouldn't she?" Zabuza asked with a sigh.

"Who are you talking about tou-san? Do you know who Naruto's father is?" Haku asked.

"His father is none other than the yellow flash of Konoha, the yondaime hokage Minato Namikaze. I can't believe you are the son of two of the most powerful ninja in history. Well who knows, maybe having their kid around will bring some fun our way." Zabuza said chuckling.

"So what do you plan on doing once we reach Uzu, Naruto?" Haku asked jumping up beside him.

"First I want to start rebuilding the village and offering people a new home. After that I am gonna try and find the other jinchuriki and see if they would like to join. If they were treated like me then I'm sure they won't mind joining. After that I'm not really sure what I want to do." Naruto replied jumping down to the forest floor with the others.

"We should camp here for the night. We should be able to reach Uzu in the next day or two according to the map we have. Starting tomorrow I'll help you with your training, I need to get Haku back to training as well." Zabuza said as he started setting up camp along with the other four ninja.

There should be a link on my profile of a map that I am using for the locations and stuff for this story. Not a lot happened this chapter but that should change starting next chapter. I have a few ideas for training for Naruto and Haku starting next chapter and there should even be a few fight scenes hopefully.

This is out a little later than planned and for that I'm sorry. Hope you all enjoyed it though and leave a review letting me know what you think so far and answer to the question up above if you don't mind.

Thanks and peace.
