Naruto and his mother sat behind the bars of Kurama's cage while they listened to Ashura explain his reasoning for bringing Kushina back and Naruto's training regimen.
"So Naruto do you understand what you are getting yourself into with your future training regimen.?" Ashura questioned the young blonde who was sitting in his mothers lap.
"Hai." Naruto responded quickly.
"Then I want you to repeat your training schedule back to me."
"Hai. First I will merge with you and Kurama so that my body will be more accustomed to channeling your special chakra and Kurama's yokai, this will also have the added benefit of allowing you to stay around longer to train me. Afterwards I will begin my physical training and once all of you deem me ready I will begin my ninjutsu training. Also whenever I go to sleep you and Kurama will be training me in how to use and manipulate your individual energies." Naruto said and it was at this point that Kurama interrupted.
"I still don't know why I even accepted this, it's not even like you will be able to use my yokai because of your body." Kurama remarked enraging the blonde boy.
"Oh yea! I bet I will be able to use your yokai no problem. Actually I don't even see why anyone would be afraid of you since you're just an overgrown powderpuff!" Naruto retaliated.
"What did you say," Kurama shouted as he stood from his position, "Just let me get over there and stomp you into the ground!"
"Now this is just sad," Kushina started, " Kurama is losing his cool to a 3 year old of all things."
"Enough Kurama, Naruto. And Naruto I am glad you understand. Kushina I assume you understand your job and are prepared for it." Ashura said.
"Hai, I'm ready."
"Then I guess I'll go ahead and get out of your way so that you can get to know each other," Ashura said as he began to walk away then suddenly stopped, "also don't forget to talk to Kurama later and learn a little about him. Once you are done with your mother-son bonding we will begin the merge." With his last bit of advice and information said he vanished in a burst of light leaving the mother-son combo alone for the most part.
The duo sat in silence for several minutes neither speaking to the other. Finally though a sound broke through the quiet atmosphere, a small sob emanating from Naruto. Kushina's head snapped towards her son so fast that her neck created a cracking sound when she heard the sound. Slowly she stood to her feet and shuffled over to her still sobbing son.
"Sochi. Are...are you alright? She asked quietly in Naruto ear.
Naruto hearing his mother's voice directly behind him bolted to his feet and quickly conformed his body to his mother's legs, wrapping his arms around her legs in the process, surprising Kushina greatly.
"K...Kaa-chan!" Naruto yelled against his mother's legs which slightly muffled his voice.
Kushina's eyes began to water once she heard her son's cry.
"Don't worry sochi. Kaa-chan is here, kaa-chan is here." Kushina replied in a soft tone as she picked Naruto up in her arms as she slowly made her way to Kurama. In her heart though she knew that she had just taken the first steps to creating a long lasting relationship with her son.
Council chambers same time
Currently the council had just arrived for the meeting that the hokage had called. As the last of the council members took their seat the Sandaime stood from his seat and began to address the assembled council.
"This Council meeting has been called to session. Now before we get to the reason of this meeting are there any questions or comments that need to be made or asked?"
"Hai Hokage-sama. I believe I speak for the rest of the council when I ask what that pulse of chakra we all felt was and where did it originate from. Also on a similar note where is Yamanaka-san, shouldn't he be here for this meeting?" A civilian councilor asked.
"Don't worry Shin-san. Yamanaka-san will be here shortly. I requested a quick job of him pertaining to this meeting, as for the pulse of chakra that is related to the reason for this meeting so i propose that we wait for Yamanaka-san to finish what I requested of him and once he arrives we will begin this meeting in earnest."
The council agreed with Hiruzen's proposal and sat in silence for half an hour each of them thinking over the possibilities of what the chakra pulse could have been with the exception of Hiashi who was worried about his daughter. Finally though the council door opened and Inoichi Yamanaka head of the Yamanaka clan walked in the room.
"Sorry it took so long Hokage-sama but it took me some time to find what we were looking for inside of the prisoners mind, it was like he had been trained to resist the techniques of my clan." Inoichi said as he made his way to his seat.
"Excuse me Hokage-sama but what prisoner is Inoichi-san talking about. We were never informed of us having a new prisoner." Another civilian questioned their aged leader.
"I'll explain everything now that Inoichi-san is present," Sarutobi replied as Inoichi took his seat in between Shikaku Nara, head of the Nara clan, and Choza Akimichi, head of the Akimichi clan, "Not to long ago, about 2 hours actually, we caught a ninja from kumo who was trying to kidnap Hiashi-san's daughter, Hyuuga Hinata. Luckily though said ninja was stopped before he could get outside of the village, to be honest he didn't even make it away from the compound. My personal ANBU bodyguard Itachi (Weasel) can attest to this as well since he was a witness to the entire ordeal."
Before the Hokage could continue another civilian council member by the name of Mebuki Haruno spoke up interrupting the Sandaime.
"I'm surprised Hyuuga-sama. I figured that once you had found the perpetrator you would have killed him without asking any questions. Don't get me wrong Hyuuga-sama, I am glad bot trying to portray you as a barbarian, I just figured that like any protective father you would kill him first without asking any questions. However I am glad that you saved your daughter and that you didn't kill the man since now we can demand compensation from Kumo."
"I'm happy to hear that Haruno-san but you should have permitted Hokage-sama to finish first, if you had done so he would have informed all of you that I was not the one to catch the man."
"Really? Then who did?"
It was at this point that the Hoage spoke up with a vein twitching on the top of his head to show his irritation. "Well Haruno-san if you would quit interrupting me everytime I try to speak I would tell everyone."
Mebuki had enough courtesy to look sheepish and bowed her head down in between her hands, "Gomen (sorry) Hokage-sama."
"It's alright Haruno-san I forgive you this time. Now. Hebi (Snake)! I want you to retrieve Itachi and bring him here immediately.
"Hai Hokage-sama!" Hebi replied then disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
"Now that that has been taken care of. The person that stopped the Kumo-nin was Naruto-kun. From what I saw with my crystal ball and from what was reported to me by Itachi, Hiashi, his wife Hitomi, and his brother Hizashi Naruto-kun tapped into some previously unknown form of chakra which is what caused the pulse of chakra that everyone felt not too long ago." Hiruzen said.
The council chambers were quiet for all of 2 seconds before screaming erupted from the civilian side of the council while the elders and shinobi council decided to wait and hear from either Itachi or Hiashi. The entire time the civilians began calling out different phrases.
"The demon is being unleashed! We must kill it before he becomes even more powerful!" One councilman screamed while another began shouting something else.
"The demon has escaped we must kill it now!"
Among all the shouting there were also several calls of "Let's finish what the Yondaime started!"
The Hokage quickly grew tired if the insistent shouting and flooded the room with a portion of his KI shutting everyone up as he shouted.
"Quiet! We will not be executing young Naruto as he has done nothing wrong!"
It was at this point Itachi and Hebi shunshined into the room and instantly collapsed to the floor breathing heavy because of the amount of KI that was flooding the room. They were all reminded at this point that there was a reason that this man had lived through three Great Shinobi World Wars and was nicknamed the God of Shinobi.
Hiruzen let up on his KI allowing for the others to regulate their breathing and for those that had collapsed to stand back up or return to their seats. Seeing that everyone was ready once again he turned his head to Itachi and began speaking.
"Now that Itachi is present I want you to recount what you witnessed to everyone here."
Itachi nodded his head in affirmation before he rose his hand to his masked face and removed said mask revealing the apathetic gaze of one Itachi Uchiha.
"Of course Hokage-sama. Well to begin Hebi and I were tasked by Hokage-sama to locate young Naruto since the matron of the orphanage didn't know where he was after kicking him out 2 days prior. We spent the rest of the day trying to find him and it was later on that night that by pure luck I happened to be heading close by the Hyuuga compound when I felt a sudden surge of chakra. I decided that it would be best to check and see what it was incase it was an enemy ninja or a ninja of the village abusing their authority. I made my way to the location of the chakra surge and I arrived just in time to see the Kumo ninja use a c-ranked lightning jutsu on Naruto-kun. However a second or two before the lightning would have struck a wave of golden chakra erupted from his body, blocked the jutsu, then began to take the shape of a buddha statue with 3 fox-like heads around his body. Once the chakra had manifested around his body the small amount of remaining chakra began to coalesce around his face and formed what looked to be half of a fox mask. Afterwards Hiashi-sama along with with his wife and brother arrived. Naruto then proceeded to break the Kumo shinobi's arm and retrieved Hiashi-sama's daughter before using another one of his chakra arms to smash the man through the compound wall knocking him unconscious and allowing for us to transport him to T&I. A little while after Naruto knocked the man out the chakra began to recede back into his body and he passed out, seconds after it finished doing so, on top of Hiashi-sama's daughter who then fainted from embarrassment and shock. Currently the both of them are in the Hospital with Hizashi and Hitomi-sama watching over them to make certain that nothing happens." Itachi narrated for the council.
The council chambers remained silent for several minutes as each person thought over what they had just heard and for some, how they could use that ability to their advantage. None did the last part more so than Fugaku Uchiha who was thinking over how similar the technique was to his family's Susanoo.
"Hokage-sama. If what Itachi-san said is in fact true, is it possible that the chakra manifestation that he witnessed was part of his Uzumaki Kekkei Genkai going fully active?" The lazy jounin-commander of the village questioned.
Before the Hokage could respond one of the more ignorant members of the civilian council stood from his seat, knocking it over in his haste, and began shouting at the remaining council members.
"Don't be a fool Nara-san! There is no possible way that …..that FILTH could be a part of the prestigious Uzumaki clan let alone poses their Kekkei Genkai! It is obviously regaining its strength so that it can exact its revenge on us! We need to kill it before it is HRRRKKK!" The council member began before being interrupted when the Hokage gave a slight nod to Itachi who swiftly grabbed one of his several hidden Kunai and flung it at the civilian councilman, impaling him in his throat. All of this happened in the span of a second.
"I am growing tired of repeating myself. Naruto-kun is not a demon! From now on if anyone in this council refers to him as such in my presence they will be eliminated immediately regardless of their position in this village. This also expands to the elders and Shinobi council not just the civilian council. Am I understood.?" Sarutobi questioned with narrowed eyes while leaking a small amount of his KI into the room.
"Hai Hokage-sama!" Everyone responded.
"Good, I am glad to see that we are all in agreement. Now Itachi what is your verdict on what you witnessed?"
"Hokage-sama I would have to agree with Shikaku-san. From what I've been told and witnessed with my own eyes from other Uzumaki there is a definite possibility that the chakra manifestation could be his Kekkei Genkai awakening at an early age. However I can say without a doubt that the chakra that he was using was not the Kyuubi's. The chakra that he used felt to pure and clean to belong to the Fox."
"I see…..Now that everyone has been informed this meeting is dismissed. Hiashi I believe that you need to return to your clan compound and inform your elders about what has happened and afterwards you can rejoin your wife and brother at the hospital to await the childrens awakening. Itachi you are free to return to the hospital along with Hebi, Neko (cat), and Inu (dog). Just make sure that you inform someone to clean up the corpse before you leave. Inoichi I want you to follow me to my office, I want to know everything that you managed to extract from his mind."
"Of course Hokage-sama." They all replied before each of the groups began to split off and leave the council chambers.
With Hiashi 20 minutes later
Hiashi Hyuuga sat in his clans council room as each clan elder began to trickle into the council room once news about his return had spread throughout the compound. As each member entered the room he began thinking of the best possible way to inform them of what had transpired only a couple of hours prior as well as the fact that they now owed a three year old boy for their clans continued security, that three year old boy being the village pariah no less. Finally the last of the elders took their seats and Hiashi called the meeting to order.
"I'm sure that all of you have questions for me so let me begin and I will try to answer them all with my explanation." Hiashi said and received several nods from the elders to let him know to continue. "Recently we caught a Kumo shinobi attempting to exit the village after kidnapping my daughter Hinata. We assume that he was doing so in order to breed their village a clan of Byakugan wielders or to experiment on them and learn our weaknesses. However before the man could even make it away from the compound walls he was apprehended by the most unlikely of sources, that source being one Uzumaki Naruto. And before anyone asks yes he was the source of the chakra pulse that we all felt a few hours before hand. We, meaning the village council, believe that the pulse of chakra was an indication of his Uzumaki Kekkei Genkai awakening since immediately after the pulse chakra instantly erupted from his body and took on the form of a large buddha statue with 3 fox-like heads along with the small amount of remaining chakra forming half of a fox mask on his face. This was confirmed by the Hokage's personal bodyguard Itachi Uchiha who was a witness to the entire event. Now are their any intelligent questions?" Hiashi questioned with a stoic face.
"Hiashi. You said that our Jinchuuriki and village Pariah, Uzumaki Naruto, stopped the Kumo shinobi from kidnapping your daughter correct?" An elder questioned that look strikingly similar to Hiashi and his brother Hizashi.
"Hai that is accurate."
"Then that means that we are now indebted to the boy for helping to keep our clans secrets secure even if he was not aware of doing so himself."
"Yes I would assume so."
By now the rest of the Hyuuga elders realised that validity of their fellow elders statement and the room broke into protest.
"But Hiashi we can't be indebted to that filth! It would ruin our image throughout the village!" One elder shouted.
Another elder was heard above the rest so he immediately garnered the attention of everyone in the room.
"Hiashi that is unacceptable! How dare you allow us to become indebted to that….that...that demonic FILTH! I propose we have one of the branch members go to wherever the Kyuubi jinchuuriki is located and kill him with a jyuuken strike to the heart, afterwards we will brand your pathetic-failure of a daughter with the caged-bird-seal for not being able to fight off her capturer! GAHHHHHHH!" The elder shouted at those assembled before he was silenced by the same elder that had pointed out that they were technically now indebted to the pariah of the village. The man's hands were already in a post jyuuken strike as the person that he had struck coughed up some blood and slumped over out of his chair and landed on the floor completely still. However the damage had already been done as several other elders began murmuring their agreement with their now dead clansmen.
Hiashi seeing what was about to happen cleared his throat gaining everyone attention once again.
"I will not have anyone talking bad about the person that saved the secrets of our clan. On top of that the Hokage already ordered today in the council chambers that nobody was to refer to him as a demon when they were in his presence otherwise they would be terminated regardless of their position in the village and this same rule will apply to me also. Now to get back on topic we will not be branding my daughter like elder Hien suggested. As it is I have already found a way to pay back young Naruto for what he has done for both me as a father and our clan as a whole. I was merely informing the council of what I was planning to do and to alert them of what had happened to cause me to do so. This meeting is dismissed."
The elders all stood from their seats and made for the exit of the room with the exception of the man that looked similar to Hiashi. soon enough the only people left in the room were Hiashi, the other elder, and the corpse of elder Hien.
"Thank you…..father."
"No problem my son, but I hope your plan doesn't come back to bite us in the ass. Please do not get me wrong Hiashi I do not hold any ill will to the son of Minato and Kushina but we also have to think about how this will affect our clan."
"I understand Tou-sama and like you I hope it doesn't come back to bite us in the ass."
Hokage's office: same time
Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha and the current Sarutobi clan head, sat in his office with Inoichi Yamanaka, the current head of the Yamanaka clan and one of the villages top T&I specialists. Currently both men were discussing what relevant information Inoichi had been able to gather from their prisoners mind.
"So you are telling me that our friend from Kumo was given a mission by the Sandaime Raikage to infiltrate our village and kidnapped an unmarked Hyuuga and that if he was to be apprehended he was supposed to allow that person to kill him so that they could demand the body of the Hyuuga clan head in exchange. This was a very bold move on their part especially before our peace talks. As it is now I will have to cancel them and demand some kind of compensation from Kumo for what they have done." The Sandaime said as he smoked his pipe, a small sigh escaping his lips as he finished.
"Hai Hokage-sama that is the gist of it. There was a little bit more information that I was able to gather but it wasn't relevant to what we needed to know. The only other remotely relevant thing that I learned is that Kumo has started giving their shinobi more mental training to resist mind techniques like those from my clan and to resist mental torture." Inoichi replied.
"...Thank you for the information Inoichi. I'm sure you would like to return home to your wife and daughter so you are dismissed."
"Hai and arigato (thank you) Hokage-sama." Inoichi responded as he made his way from the room.
The Sandaime sat alone for several minutes as he thought over this newly acquired information. He knew that he had to demand compensation from Kumo for what they had just attempted to do, but he didn't know what he should demand. It took several more minutes of thought but Sarutobi finally came to a decision. Snapping his fingers almost instantly an ANBU shot from the shadows of the room.
"Hai Hokage-sama?" The ANBU questioned.
"Boar I would like for you to gather a team of ANBU and retrieve my student Jiraiya. He needs to be made aware of what has just happened and I would like his opinion on this matter."
"Of course Hokage-sama, I will begin immediately."
"I am glad to hear that Boar," Hiruzen's eyes then hardened as he continued speaking, "now I believe it's time that we extinguish the pest that we allowed inside don't you agree." The instant Sarutobi finished his hand blurred from sight and a wet squelching could be heard as the kunai he threw hit its mark in the center of the now dead body's head. The body, having to now follow the laws of nature and by extension gravity since it was dead, fell from the ceiling and spread blood on the floor because of the kunai stuck up to the hilt in the persons head.
Sparrow walked out of the shadows near the corpse and knelt down to check it. She spent only a moment to evaluate the entire body after she removed the persons mask and sent it flying at her aged leader who deftly caught the mask. The Hokage stared at the mask for several seconds as he examined the one word engraved on the front proudly for the world to see. Ne (root).
"I Thought Ne was trained to be emotionless, she sure seemed terrified to me."
"Even so I want that stain removed from my office by the time I return, now if you need me I will be over at the hospital eagerly awaiting our blonde haired friends awakening." Sarutobi replied as he stood from his seat and the left the room allowing the ANBU to remove the corpse in his office.
2 days later: Konoha Hospital
The Hokage sat in the hospital room holding his surrogate grandson, Uzumaki Naruto. As he sat and watched the boy he began thinking over the past 2 days. Jiraiya had arrived yesterday along with Boar and his team and currently they were awaiting a response from Kumo because of their demands for compensation, now all they had to do was wait for Naruto to wake from his semi-coma. However before the aged village leader could allow his thoughts to continue a knocking sound came from the door and reverberated throughout the room.
"Enter." He shouted from his seat.
The door opened soon after his command revealing the forms Hiashi and Hitomi Hyuuga along with their 3 year old daughter Hinata Hyuuga who was hiding behind her mothers leg while peeking out from her hiding spot to stare at the village leader.
"Ah Hiashi, Hitomi to what do I do to owe your presence?"
"Nothing Hokage-sama but we thought we would introduce Hinata here to young Naruto once he woke up."
"That is very kind of you and I'm sure Naruto-kun will appreciate that very much. Also Jiraiya and I took care of our friend from Kumo, infact I believe the Raikage should be receiving his letter right about now.
Kumo:Raikage's office
The Sandaime Raikage had just been given a sealing scroll via one of Jiraiya's toad messengers. He wasn't sure what to expect from it but what did happen was nowhere near anything he would have ever expected. The ninja he had sent to kidnap the Hyuuga heiress popped out of the sealing scroll gagged and hogtied along with a letter addressed to him. Deciding to read the letter first his face quickly went from confused to enraged and he dropped the letter face up as he screamed in outrage. The letter which was now revealed to all showed the conditions set forth by Konoha to avoid war for his transactions along with a bill for a destroyed compound wall.
Back in Konoha Hospital
Hiashi smirked slightly at the news of what his sensei and Hokage had done in retribution for what had happened to his clan.
"Thank you Hokage-sama and please pass on my thanks to Jiraiya-sensei also."
"No problem Hiashi and I will do so."
Hiashi and Hitomi stared at Naruto for several more seconds as they examined the young boy comparing him to both his father and mother both in terms of looks and personality.
"Dear Kami he looks so much like his father already and at such a young age too." Hiashi whispered so low that only his wife and the Hokage could hear him.
"I agree with you Hiashi but he also has Kushina-chan's personality and temper." Sarutobi responded just as quietly.
"To be honest Hokage-sama it seems like we are looking at both Minato-kun and Kushina-chan reincarnated into one person." Hitomi responded quietly but just loud enough that everyone could hear.
"I must agree with you there Hitomi, I was actually thinking about going ahead and revealing who his parents were to him soon. I'm sure that you have both noticed the few times that you have seen him outside of the orphanage that he is dreadfully lonely. The news of who his parents were and that they loved him would boost his self confidence and self image by quite a bit."
"That sounds like the best course of option Hokage-sama and if you do so please let us know so that we along with Hinata-chan can be there for him, besides they need to made aware of the contract at some point and the earlier they are made aware of it the better in my opinion. I would also suggest Getting Issei Kurama along with his wife Kano and daughter Yakumo there too. It would be best to have the entire team present for such a thing, at least that way he will have some people there to comfort him."
Before the adults could continue their conversation they felt a sharp spike in chakra coming from Naruto's body before three different colored chakra's emerged from his body and blocking it from the adults eyes. The first color of chakra that emerged was a light almost ice blue chakra that was obviously Naruto's, next came a vile red chakra that was heavily oppressive to all of those in the room and everyone that remembered the attack 3 years ago knew that it was the Kyuubi's chakra, and finally came the golden chakra that Naruto had used to protect himself and save the Hyuuga heiress. Everyone watched as the chakra covered his body like a cocoon while all of the different chakra's fought for dominance. After several long minutes of waiting though the 3 waring chakras began to stabilize and merge together creating a deep royal purple colored chakra the slowly began to seep back into his body.
While the adults in the room stared at the blonde who was now once again visible Hinata could only stare at the small traces of remaining royal purple chakra that was still visible.
"So beautiful." Hinata said in a trance as she attempted to reach out for the chakra.
To the surprise of everyone the chakra reacted to her presence and shot to her outstretched hand and began to sink into her body adapting and integrating itself into her chakra network.
Soon though Naruto began to groan and shift around in his hospital bed and after another few seconds he opened his eyes for the first time in 2 days. Naruto began to look around the room and his eyes landed on 4 unmoving figures who stood in the center of the room minus the Hokage who was sitting in a chair.
"Jiji what are you doing here and who are the rest of those people?" Naruto asked once he recognized the aged village leader.
"Naruto-kun I'm glad to see that you are doing well. You passed out 2 days ago after releasing a strange golden chakra and saving the Hyuuga heiress, Hinata Hyuuga. But enough of that how are you doing?" Hiruzen said.
"I'm doing fine jiji, but what about that girl that you said I saved, how is she?"
Sarutobi smirked slightly as Naruto's question and motioned his head towards Hiashi who took the lead.
"Hello Naruto-san. I'm glad to see that you are doing well. And there's no need to worry. The girl that you saved was my daughter and she is doing just fine thanks to you. Hinata-chan please come over here so that Naruto-san can see you." Hiashi spoke with a small smile.
It was by this point that Naruto finally took notice of the girl that was partially hidden behind the only women in the rooms legs. The young girl however stared at him with interest, confusion, and a hint of happiness. Finally though the girl turned her head up towards her mothers who only nodded her head with a kind smile.
"H...hello. My n...name is H...Hyuuga Hinata. Th...thank you for saving me." Hinata said in a meek tone with a small blush across her cheeks.
"No problem! I couldn't just let such a pretty girl like you get taken away from her family by such a big meanie! O' and my name is Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto!"
Naruto and Hinata continued to talk back and forth discussing some of the things they liked and didn't like, their hobbies, and at one point their dreams. Hiashi, Hitomi, and the Sandaime could only smile in fondness at the children's interactions with each other before the Sandaime shot a quick look over to the Hyuuga head and his wife who nodded their heads as if answering a silent question.
"Naruto-kun," Hitomi started gaining Naruto's and Hinata's attention, "Why don't you and Musume-chan go play around outside for a little while."
Naruto's smile widened at the woman's idea and he looked over at Hinata who was blushing furiously but nodded her ascent.
"Sure!" Naruto said excitedly until he suddenly stopped all of his movement surprising everyone. "Ano someone wants to talk to you first jiji." Naruto said after several seconds of inaction.
After Naruto finished speaking the same deep royal purple chakra began to ooze from his body and form a human shape behind him. Slowly the chakra began to create more specific definitions, resembling the curves of an adult woman until it finally finished taking on the features of the person that they belonged to before their death. There, in a matter of seconds, stood Uzumaki Kushina behind her son.
"Hey old man, I hope you didn't miss me to much." Kushina spoke with a mischievous smile.
"K...Kushina-chan is that you?" Hitomi whispered from beside her shocked husband and Kage.
"Hai Hitomi-chan it's me." Kushina replied in a soft melodic tone before she was bulldozed by her sobbing friend.
"How are you here Kushina? We...we saw your body after you had been killed by the Kyuubi, it wasn't a pretty sight."
"Don't worry I will explain everything. But first…" Kushina motioned for the 2 kids to leave the room and head outside, "you 2 should get going while the adults speak about boring adult stuff. Naruto why don't you take Hinata-chan to that place that I told you about."
"Sure thing Kaa-chan! Let's go Hinata-chan!" Naruto said as he rushed from the room after capturing Hinata's hand inside of his own.
"Now that those 2 are gone let me begin. It first started when I was brought back..."
with Naruto and Hinata
Naruto and Hinata were running through the surrounding forests after making their way outside of the village. Currently the 2 children were running towards an old building outside of Konoha that belonged to the Uzumaki clan but has henceforth been abandoned.
"Naruto-kun where are we g...going?" Hinata questioned.
"We are heading to an old building my Kaa-chan told me about that our clan used to maintain. She called it the Uzumaki mask storage shrine.
"Oh." Hinata replied as they continued running and talking, not really paying attention to their surroundings.
As they continued running and conversing with each other they failed to notice a girl around their age that was walking in the same general direction as them before they collided with the girls back.
"GAHHH!" All 3 people shouted as they fell to the ground in a jumbled heap.
The 3 now jumbled up kids groaned in pain as they tried to separate themselves from each other and once they had they all sat in a triangle formation.
"Ow what happened, and who are you 2? I've never seen you around here before." The other person said, a girl from her looks and voice.
"Sorry. Me and my friend were running and we weren't paying attention to our surroundings. My name is Uzumaki Naruto and this is my friend Hyuuga Hinata. What's your name?" Naruto questioned in an exuberant tone.
"I'm Kurama Yakumo, heiress of the Kurama clan, nice to meet you!" Yakumo said with a smile before a confused look appeared on her face. "Ano, why are you out here in the first place? This is really close to my clan's property."
"Nice to meet you too!" Hinata and Naruto replied with smiles also before Naruto continued talking. "We were heading to a place that my clan owned, would you like to come with us?"
Yakumo thought over his offer for several seconds before making up her mind.
"Sure! I've got nothing else to do anyway." With that the 3 kids all returned to their feet and continued running towards the mask storage shrine. None of them were aware of the upcoming bloodshed or the unbreakable bond that would be formed because of it.
In an undisclosed location near Konoha
A man with one visible eye sat on a throne in the center of a large room underneath Konoha where several people could be seen training. This man was Shimura Danzo, leader of Ne and Hiruzen Sarutobi's political rival and ex-teammate. Currently Danzo was listening to a report from one of his Ne messengers.
"Danzo-sama Tia-san has been terminated by the Hokage after being caught spying on him in his office."
Danzo sat in silence for some seconds before speaking.
"I see. was she able to relay any information before her termination?"
"No sir, besides that she was terminated two days ago so any information would have already been changed regardless. We were only just now able to confirm her termination after finding her body in the morgue."
"Hmmm. Han I want you to gather a team and retrieve Uzumaki Naruto for me. One of our members sent me a message not to long ago that said he had just left the hospital with the Hyuuga Heiress."
"Sir what if capture is not possible?"
"...Then eliminate him and all of those with him, if I can not have him then no one can."
"Hai Danzo-sama!" Han replied before disappearing in a shunshin.
'I wonder what you will do next my old friend.' Danzo thought before closing his only remaining eye not even concerned that he might have just doomed a clan to extinction to further his own goals.
