Chapter 2: Meeting with the past

As Naruto awoke, he was in hospital. He rose out to look around and saw the Hokage and a Dogmasked Anbu agent standing by him. "Good your awake, Naruto. How are you feeling." the Hokage asked.

"Well except the headache and sore body I guess fine, how long have I been asleep?" he answered. The hokage told him that he just had stayed over night and was to be released later today. "Naruto do you remember what happened to you?" the Hokage asked him carefully. "Well Its kind like this…" he started.

"flashback"

Naruto was lying on the ground. At least he thought that he lay on the ground. As his senses came back he felt he was leaning against something. As he opened his eyes he saw a face. On pure reaction he jumped away to run away, but as he came to his feet he fell to the ground. His legs could just not move anymore. As he looked back at the man he started to crawl with his hands to get away, pleading with a sore voice. "please, please don't hurt me". As the man stood up, he started to walk toward him. As the man did this Naruto thought that he would die this day. He wasn't ready, he wasn't ready to die yet. He still hadn't have a friend. He hadn't become the Hokage yet, so why must things become like this. Those were the thoughts that he had as he closed his eyes, preparing for the pain. But when the footsteps stopped, he heard a voice.

"Why would I hurt you, you haven't done anything wrong, right" the stranger asked with a sincere voice that Naruto had never heard. Well once and that time it was a trap. He was cautious as he said "No, but everyone is saying I killed the loved ones, but I have never killed anyone at all" he said with a tear running down his chin. "They are wrong" The stranger said as he took of the hood and Naruto looked at his green eyes with his blue eyes whirlpool-like eyes. His face was that of a elder teenager maybe in his mid twenties. He had a scare on his left cheek that went from his ear almost to nose, his hair was long not very long but still long for a guy, with a ponytail down to his shoulders that waved behind his head down his neck. He had a face that seemed to be concerned about what the told him. "But, I must have done…" he was interrupted as the stranger had put a hand on his shoulder without him noticing. "How?" he asked with fear.

"Lets looked at it like this, if and if I wanted you dead you would have died in the hands of that mob over there" he pointed to his left and Naruto looked were he was pointing and almost had to barf by the sheer massacre that he was looking at. Bodies lying in parts away from each other and heads missing, and just ad that there was blood all over the park.

"These fools just didn't quit, even when I warned them that any attempt against you would only spell death" he said in a monotone voice that seemed voided of feelings.

"Why did you protect me and why can't you not feel sad for all these people, they didn't have to die just because…" Naruto said but suddenly he heard something that he hadn't heard in his life "I just couldn't allow them to hurt my family" The stranger said looking down in the ground. Naruto was stunned by what he heard. "Family, I've never had a family, im an orphan. No one ever wanted me so I don't understand" he said with confusion spinning in his head. "And you don't look like a part of my family, we don't even look alike" he said lastly as he slapped the strangers hand of his shoulder and started to back away. He had decided that this had to be some sort of trap and was not getting caught. "Well, you might not believe it but I was actually adopted into your family by your mother, at least that was planed, but things got the better of us all" he said sheepishly as he scratched the back of his head.

Naruto saw this and was struck by something. What the stranger was doing he always did when he was feeling nervous, and he knew that no one ever did that, other than himself. "Why are you scratching your back head for" he ask with a certain amount of both fear and rising interest. "Well the guy that wanted to adopt me always did the same thing and I kind of stuck with it. Why do you ask, because you said yourself that you didn't have a family" he said with one eye closed and his tongue out. Of course this was to make Naruto mad but not in the way that the villagers did.

"Hey, I do have a family, and if I don't have one I will make the greatest family in the world. Then you will get for that." He yelled. What happened after that was not something you would expect. The stranger fell to the ground holding his sides laughing, but not the 'yeah right' but…

"Oh you should have seen your face when you said that, I wish I had a camera to take a picture of it" he said as he composed himself and stood up. Now his face had a serious look in it as he look at the blond and he thought that he had changed completely. What happened next was beyond comprehension. One second the stranger had pulled his hands towards his sword. At this the blond started to fear that he had been tricked, but as he began to move he saw a spray of blood coming from behind.

"It would appear that, some people just never learn" he said in a serious manner as he looked at the stealthy assailants. They had tried to attack the blond as was talking with the, to the villagers, total stranger. Of course they thought of this as a chance to kill the blond, but now it proved that it wouldn't happen.

As he dispatched yet another assailant, the stranger heard a weird noise behind him. As he looked he saw that the blond was being pinned down by yet another shinobi that now was trying to cut him in two. His eyes shot open at this and what happened later only the fastest shinobi in the world would see.

Naruto had been cornered, there was no better word. He was going to die, he knew that much as he saw the sword fly towards him as he closed his eyes. As the blond raised his arms to block the strike, he knew that it wouldn't help, but it was just a pure survival reflex to guard against a strike no matter if it was a punch or a blade. He just waited for the blade to hit as he pondered how life would be in the afterlife. Time seemed to go on forever as he waited for the strike, and he waited, and waited, and waited…

But the strike never came. That's when he felt something fluid hit his cheek. As he opened his eyes he was struck by what he saw in front of him.

There stood the stranger with a blade through his right chest side with the blade sticking out of his back, covered I blood, and blood leaking out of the wound and staining his cloths and the black robe, colouring it dark-red. He was coughing blood as he fell to his knees looking at the dead shinobi, head missing and the large blade lying on the ground next to him. "Kid, are you… Cough chough…okay?" he asked as he pulled out the blade and threw it to the side and picked up his own sword and slowly crawled to a tree to lean against it with the sword lying next to him. Naruto nodded carefully but was really concerned about the man. "Are you going to be okay, should I call for a medic or someone to help you to the…" he almost shouted as he started to panic, put the stranger somehow wasn't affected by his appending death.

"Naruto… Chough…come here" he said calmly and motioned the boy to get closer. Naruto went up to him carefully. "Kid, I don't have… Choughs…much time left, so im going to tell you something, and also Choughs…give you a few things Choughs…" he said as he pulled a scroll out of his robe "this is a sealing-scroll that contains scrolls of jutsus, genjutsu, nin jutsus, kenjutsus, kinjutsus, fuins,…Choughs…, two more of my favourite swords, and a abundant of information and knowledge that I want to… Choughs… pass to you, it opens by unsealing with your blood on the seal, with makes you the only one that can open it… Choughs…" he said with a most serious look. He saw the look on the boys face before continuing. "I also want you to carry my sword, it has decided that its time to be passed to a new master". He said and lifted the sword and held it in front of the blond. "Take the sword, if it recognises you as its master it will be easier to carry than if it doesn't".

Naruto reluctantly, or more precisely, careful not to cut himself with the gigantic sword that was in front of him, held out his hand and grasped the handle. Just as he did that the sword glowed with a faint blue glow then green, then red, yellow, brown, grey, and lastly black and white. The stranger whistled. "I've never seen the sword react like that, but I guess there's always a first time" he said lowly. Then the sword started to shift to a shorter version of the gigantic on but still big in normal measures. "it does that so that you can carry it at all, you can… Choughs…change the size and shape as you wish but only… Choughs…when you master the … Choughs…sword. The other two will now recognise you as there user and will help be of great help to you… Choughs worse then ever…" he was getting weaker by the second. He had to tell him no or never.

"Naruto listen carefully. I will grant you something that was yours from before you even was born. It's a doujutsu that could put any doujutsu to shame, the 'Demon Eye" Naruto flinched at the name but the stranger calmed him by saying "Don't worry, it has nothing with the demons to do…" 'not fully but still' he thought"…but its function surpasses its name. Everything is written in those scrolls that are sealed in the sealing scroll. Read the one that reads Bloodline." He said coughing and put two fingers against Naruto's forehead while mumbling something in a weird language that Naruto didn't understand and a weird feeling went through his head and body. "There, that should be everything concerning that" he said. His vision was slipping but he still had something to say to the boy as he put down the hand.

"Naruto, I want you to do me one thing. When you meet with the Hokage, tell him that he must tell you who your parents are and why you are chased throughout the village" at this Naruto's eyes widen at the possibility to actually learn why he was hated. "If he pulls the 'S-class secret' bull, then show him the sword. He will ask you were you got it and you will tell him you inherited the sword and the scrolls. If he try's to take anything from you swipe tell him that they will explode if they are touched by someone else than you and not returned within 2 days." He laughed at this then turned serious again.

"Besides, no one can read anything that is on them other then you. Don't tell anyone about any of the scrolls, or there content, no matter who it is, no matter whom they are or what they say, especially the Hokage, he will ask to copy the scroll contents for his personal library and then maybe someone will steal it to learn the secrets of it. I don't want that to happen. They belong to you and only you, everything that they contain. Good the bloodline of yours doesn't allow the sharingan to copy any of your techniques" he said almost laughing but stopped as he winched. "I wish your father saw how you've grown, he would be proud of you, though i guess he would be mad at the village and level it with the ground."

Naruto now had tears in his eyes. He then realised something. "Mister you haven't told me your name."

The stranger strangle chuckled as his life started to slip out of his life and said "True…Choughs…well Naruto… my name… is Kaze Uzumaki… your… adoptive… big brother" this caused Naruto's eyes to widen in shock of the revelation"…and legal guardian…im sorry I never was…there for you…" he said as tears started to roll down both Naruto's and his cheeks"…brother…"Naruto started but was interrupted

"… don't cry… you should only cry… when you're happy… Naruto…live you life by protecting… those you… deem precious and worthy your heart… but even those that you want to…protect…ill always…watch over you… little… brother…" as he said his last word his body started to turn to dust, and somehow a breeze had found its way down between the houses and blew the dust into the wind. The blond could only cry as his only family disappeared as quickly as he had appeared.

He lifted the sword and looked at it with tears. "I will brother, I will protect everyone, no matter who it is, if I find that im able to save him a will save them and protect them. I will never let anyone down. I will never go back on my word. That is now my Nindo" he said as he pick up the scroll and prepared to go but he fell against the tree and fell asleep with the sword in his hand between his legs and against his shoulder. He had collapsed by the sheer strain to his body when he was running, if you also add that he hadn't eaten for about 2 days. The last sight he saw was a field of bodies lying and an dog masked Anbu agent walking up to him.

"End of Flashback"

"Wow, that's some story" the hokage said when he had heard the hole story. It had taken a good three hours to tell the whole one, even if Naruto altered it a bit leaving out the doujutsu, what the scrolls contained. He wanted to honour his last requests, and kept quiet about them. He then asked the hokage, cause now was possible the best time to do it.

"Hokage-sama…" he said. Both the adults looked at him now. Why? Well since when did the most hyperactive knucklehead surprising prankster ever start to show respect. The Dog-masked Anbu made seal for the silencing jutsus that made it impossible to listen on the conversation, because he had a feeling that it was necessary, and he was proved right within a minute

"I would like to know about my parents and also know about why I am hated by my village. Something that could make a whole village turn against me must be something that is of importance, and please don't give me the S-class secrecy, cause it surely is connected to the peoples hate and me." He said with a sturdy determination that proved he was serious about this. This made the Hokage sight and look at the blond.

"Naruto, what im going to tell you is going and must stay between us three" he said with his most serious tone and asked. "Do you know what happened 5 years ago, on the 10 of October?" "Well I know that its my birthday that day" he answered. "Anything else" he got as an answer. "Well I heard some chunnin cheer about something that sounded like the defeat of a demon" he said not understanding what the thing was about. "Well Naruto that is true, the same day that you were born, the Kyubi no Yoko was defeated by the fourth Hokage, the Yondaime, Arashi Kazama that used a sealing-technique, sacrificing his life to send the 9-tailed demonfox with him to the Shinigami's (deathgod's) stomach." Now Naruto was listening interested with his feet crossed on his bed with his hands on his ankles. "But the true story isn't like this. Let me tell you the true way the Yondaime defeated the Kyubi. You see he…

"Flashback"

It had been a terrible battle. The Kyubi had been killing Konoha's forces like they were noting but insects. Even the greatest soldiers had died that day. Many were still trying but to no avail. "RETREAT, RETREAT!!!" one shinobi captain screamed "Where is the Yondaime" he said before he was crushed by the pawn of the Kyubi. The situation looked like there was no tomorrow, but in Konohakure (Village of the Hidden Leaves), one special shinobi was getting ready for the battle that was to come, and he knew that he wouldn't survive the encounter, but he also knew that he would win. Through his sacrifice Konoha would be saved. But there was one problem…

He had forgotten his alarm clock and overslept…

"Shit… I was supposed to only sleep on hour, but instead I slept 4 fricken hours. I just hope that Konoha's forces haven been destroyed because of this. Plus Kushina said that she would give birth to Naruto in about 1 to 2 hours. I hope she can forgive me. I just hope she doesn't gain that ungodly strength every woman get when they get angry. I swear I still can't feel my ribs after she hit me in it that time. How would I know she was afraid of a mouse, I thought that kunoichi were trained not to fear anything. Ill never laugh at her about such a thing again" he said to himself as he landed in front of the window of the hospital and walk in.

At the counter the girl behind saw him and bowed "Yondaime-sama, im so sorry for your sake" she said.

Arashi looked at her weirdly, and then it struck him. He grabbed her and started to shake her yelling. "What are you talking about, are they okay, were are they" he demanded. "The child is okay but…" she strayed with her sight "…Your wife didn't make it… im sorry, i real…" she wasn't able to finish as Arashi ran towards were he knew here wife was. Somehow he just knew. As he ran down the corridor he turned and saw the third hokage Sarutobi standing there with his son Sarutobi Asuma.

"Is she…?" he said. The third looked down, stepped aside and opened one of the double doors that he had been standing in front of. He saw her as he entered and the door closed, lying there on a table with white flowers that Arashi figured the old man had brought. As tears started to roll down his cheeks he heard a cry in the room and look around. There in a crib lay a single child, a boy with blue eyes. As Arashi picked him up, a man entered the room through the far side wall and created a silencing barrier. It took Arashi a second to recognise the person that then spoke.

"It would seem like life has turned into a snag. I guess life never wants us to become happy, neither you nor me. I wish i could have help her but not without exposing myself." He said plainly but still with sorrow.

"If you must know she praised you for the wonderful child that she was able to carry. She also wanted you to know that she wanted her husband to know that she is waiting for you on the other side and that your child should be named like you arranged" he said as he disappeared just like he had appeared. Arashi didn't need to know the last part. He always knew she would wait for him. He walked towards the door with his child in his arms

"Naruto Uzumaki Kazama, you shall from this day on be seen as a true hero of the hidden village of the leaves, i will sacrifice my on life so that the demon can be sealed within you. After that you will have the power to protect the entire village the day you become hokage". He said and smiled as the boy, simply smiled at him, if it was for the words he said or if it was just a fluke, no one knows.

The elder Sarutobi had seen everything thru the circular window that was on both the double-doors to the room. He hadn't been able to see the stranger but heard his voice. Problem was it wasn't a language he understood. A tear fell as he heard what Arashi was going to do. "I will help your son Arashi, and make sure he has a good life. I will make sure the villagers see a hero when they see him" he said quietly

"End of flashback"

Naruto was stunned beyond words. His parents were none other than Arashi Kazama, Yondaime of Konoha and Kushina Uzumaki of whirlpool, the greatest sword-user in the shinobi world. He was equally stunned at what his father had done. The Hokage sat on his chair and smoke his pipe slowly as he prepared for the worst. But what came was unexpected. "My… my father was the Yondaime and my mother was the greatest sword-wielder in shinobi history." He asked, calm and collected like he had known this before they told him.

"Correct, and i must inform you that Hatake Kakashi here" he motioned towards the Anbu who took of his dog mask and showed them… another mask that tightly covered half his face from his temples on his nose down his neck. He had his hi-ate (Forehead protector) tilted on his head, covering his left eye from sight. "…was trained by your father and also one of my people that found you in the park and brought you to the hospital" the Hokage finished. Naruto nodded and looked at kakashi and bowed. "thank you, for your help, Kakashi-san" he said as he raised his head. The Anbu just waved his hand in front of his face and smiled, which was hard to see because of the facemask. "Ma, Ma, don't have to be so official to me. I was a great friend of your father, so there is no need for the honorifics" he said sheepishly.

"Okay, but just answer me right or wrong. The Kyubi is sealed in me, and im, what capable of using his powers like my own, but because he is sealed in me people just see the demon because he killed peoples loved one's, correct?" he asked and got a nod from both people. "Then I guess that I just have to prove them wrong, don't I. Even if they try to kill me I will never attack someone without reason, and never out of revenge. If I do that I would not be better that the fox or the villagers" he said a bit proud of himself. The Hokage just chuckled and Kakashi just eye-smiled.

'You really are your father's son' he thought chuckling to himself.

"Now that this is over, i would like to ask you Naruto, how would you like to get some training with kakashi here, that is when you have time" the Hokage said and like on queue Naruto was out of the bed and already running around screaming "Alright, im going to get some real training from now on" "I will become the greatest ninja that has ever walked on this earth, and also the greatest father of my family and clan" he said

This caused both men to chuckle. "Oh really and how come so" the Hokage said as he eyed the blond with amusement.

"What do you think, training, training and more training. There has never been and never will be an easy way to become a Hokage. There are no shortcuts in life, only crossroads, and now was the first that i was allowed to decide the path" This made both men look down a bit as they understand what he meant.

"I will never look back, i will never doubt, i will fight for what i believe is right. I will figth to protect those i see as precious, even if that would mean to sacrifice my life. But if i died i would break my promise to protect everyone's happiness, and that's why i will never die, cause i never go back on my promise. That is my nindo, My way of the True Ninja" he spoke, and both of the men were captivated by his speech.

'Damn that was like Sensei just return from the dead. Naruto you truly never will fail anyone with that fire"

Kakashi thought as he saw his sensei's son, beaming of determination and 'will of the fire'.

'Arashi, your son truly is worthy the Hokage seat already, with that kind of determination. It would seem like the year's of hell just made him stronger, and this recent scenario turned him from the powdery coal to the most indestructible diamond" the Hokage could do nothing else than smile at the boys antics as he tried to hang from Kakashis clothes when he seemed to remember something.

"Eh, Hokage-sama, where's the sword and the scroll that was next to me when they found me" Naruto asked, fairly frightened/amused. "In my office, why do you…" An explosion shook the entire hospital.

"That's why…" He said sheepishly as he scratched his back head.

"What" as both men was staring at him in shock "I wasn't the one that put the protective seal on it and i damn right not the idiot that touched the scroll" he said as all three left.

"Well, you see the scroll belongs to me and if someone tries to even touch it after a certain amount of time, it will explode. Thou somehow the scroll will be intact but everything around it will be either destroyed or killed" Naruto said as they raced towards the Hokage-tower or what was left of it. "Damn he didn't say that the explosion would be this big" he said as he scoured the remains of what was once the Hokage's office.

"I seem to have found the reason to the blast" kakashi said as he pushed the remains of the desk to the side.

"It's the same man from the council that came in that day" kakashi said as he recognised the remains of the person. The Hokage nodded at the confirmation "Yes and i guess that either he was after what was in the scroll for himself or danzo". Naruto looked confused "Who is Danzo?" he asked. "Danzo is an old warhawk that wanted to turn you into a living weapon because of you 'burden', plus he was trying, and is still trying to become the Hokage. The thing is he controls just about every councilmember except the Hyuga, Inuzuka, Aburame, Nara, Akamichi, Inochi and the Uchiha"

"Let me guess. The Uchiha, they have the sharingan or what i would call the jutsu thief eye, because it copy's the jutsus that it sees. The Hyuga have the Byakugan that sees 360 and at long-range that together with the gentle fist is one of Konoha's greatest taijutsus. The Nara are geniuses in there on class when it comes to IQ, together with the shadow-manipulation, are very capable strategist. The Akamichi are capable to change there size to fight and also have invented a personal soldier-pill. The Inochi are mind specialist that can take over other people's minds and body. The Inuzuka are dog people that use dogs to fight, so they can act as a double man team because of there teamwork. And lastly the Aburame are bug-users so they specialise in recognisance and stealth, because they lack the chakra and speed to fight high-class Nin's."

"Also to note is that the group Ino-shika-cho group is one of Konoha's most powerful group. Even if the Uchiha and Hyuga are powerful solo but deadly in teams, they seem to lack all concept of teambuilding, believing that there eyes are perfect, but they contain more flaws then any other doujutsu. That sort of sums that about those clans and i only like 5 of them" Naruto said as if he had read a shorted version of Konoha's clans and the BINGO book's. Both men were stunned beyond belief as they heard this.

"Naruto, were have you learned all this" the Hokage asked as he studied him carefully. "Well, you remember when i told you that Kaze touched my forehead while chanting 'he had changed the fact so it would seem like he only transferred chakra into him to help him form chakra-exhaustion ', seems to have had the effect of transferring a part of his knowledge to me. How this is possible i don't know but i feel fine no matter what."

"How are we going to explain this, either they will try to blame me for this, as they seem willing to kill me for nothing." He said in a plain voice.

"I can bet my lifesavings of my parents that danzo got whiff of the scroll, wanted it for himself and sent someone to get it so that if i would try to prevent it they would claim that i attacked first and killed him, because he would probably be ordered commit suicide, so it would look like an attack, allowing them to execute me, plus i bet they are definitely going to say that it was a possible assassination attempt against your life, and that the councilmember sacrificed his life to protect you." He said as he continued

"I can also bet that anything anyone says, even Kakashi's word's here will be twisted so it fits their motives, by saying you were under the influence of the 'Demon child'. So any way you look at it seems like they can cover this in any way they want"

What stunned both men yet again wasn't that the boy had covered just about every side of the story, it was that he, the hyperactive knucklehead ninja to idiot, had described a situation like a genius strategists. The first to break the haze was Kakashi "Naruto, have you ever done an IQ test before" he ask. Naruto looked at him weirdly "What, no why?" Kakashi did an upside-down U with his visual eye "Well I get a feeling that you gained something more than just knowledge, I think that you gained his collected IQ, cause that was not something that just anyone could predict." The Hokage had collected himself now " I must agree with Kakashi, would you like to do a IQ test, Naruto" he asked with something like sounded like pride and anticipation in his voice. "Yeah i guess but we have to deal whit the council right now and i predict that you will hear them in 3...2…1…Encore." How much he hated to be right.

"HOKAGE-SAMA!!!!!!!" the scream could be heard all around the village.

In one end a certain white-hair man was peeping on ladies on the hot spring. He had seen the explosion on the hokage tower as he was heading towards the village. As he stopped at the gate, the guard had said that the hokage hadn't been in his office at the time, so he had calmed down and continued his 'research' that he called it. As he heard the scream he turned his head towards the tower but lost his balance and fell into the hot-spring, were there still was kunoichi getting out with bathing towels on. When he finally looked up he saw every man's fear, and i must say that i feel sorry for him.

Why?

Well, if you want to know, just about every kunoichi and woman gains burning eyes that can scare anyone out of his pant's and godlike power that could rival even the Hokage when they find a pervert, and especially one that had been peeping on them. It's a sad thing that he also was the author of the Icha Icha paradise series, that women burn, and men droll over to get one, well almost everyone

I feel sorry for anyone that has to be stomped into the ground by 10 beautiful women, whom later beat him to a pulp, over and over again, then to be sent to the hospital with almost every bone broken and mumbling something about 'worst day in my life' with a broken jaw.

Cliff-hanger. Who was the person that was screaming? How will things turn out? Will Naruto survive the council's crusade against him? Read about it in the next chapter.
