Naruto woke up feeling exhausted. He noticed Yagura who had also began to get up. He looks at Naruto and does the one thing he didn't count on…
"Please… Kill me…"
"Y-you want me, to kill you?" stammered Naruto.
"Even if it was because if a Genjutsu, It was still me, I killed all those innocent people… just because of a god damn illusion I couldn't break… I-I can't… I have no right to live after everything I've done…" Yagura stated.
Naruto rushes over and punches him straight in the face.
"Baka, I know you feel guilty after what you did, but do you think that asking me to kill you is the right thing, we have evidence to clear you sentence, if you want to do something about it find the one who put that damn Genjutsu over, and kill him."
Yagura was at a loss of words, he was begging to be killed for the sins he committed but, the kid in front of him, was right it wasn't his fault any of this happened. As he remembers, a man in an orange swirl-like mask was the one who placed it on him to begin with.
"If…if it wasn't for that man none of this wouldn't have happened…I don't care how long it takes, or what I have to endure, I'm gonna find that son of a bitch…and I'm gonna take his god damn head off!" Said Yagura with hate in his eyes.
Naruto smiles, "Well let's head back, we don't need both sides killing each other now that this is over". Yagura nods and both jump off the roof and head towards the center of the village. As they pass by they noticed the damage, and the amount of bodies scattered everywhere. Once they arrived there.
"ALL FORCES STAND DOWN!" Yagura commanded
Both sides immediately stopped and stared in disbelief. The Rebels because, it turns out that Naruto was right about the Genjutsu, the opposing forces because they knew Yagura would rather fight to the death than to surrender; or so they thought.
Mei walks up to both of them, "so I take it, you're you again?"
"Yes, Mei Terumi correct" gaining a nod from the woman.
"I hereby stand down as Mizukage, and choose you as the next line of Mizukage!"
Now everyone had eyes the size of dinner plates, not only did Yagura surrendered, he pronounced Mei the Godaime Mizukage.
"W-W-What, me… Mizukage… I don't think I can…" she stammered
"Hey you managed to lead your rebellion and hold off against me for the last 5 years without suffering major casualties, if that's not leadership than I don't know what is." stated Yagura.
"But what about you, what are you gonna do now?" she asked
"I'm leaving… I'm hunt down the man that did this to me… it's better if I leave right away." he replied.
"What about you?" she turned to Naruto
"I'm heading back to my home village, I'm giving them another chance… if they can't accept me… then I'll settle down somewhere else." he responded.
"I see, well you'll always be welcomed here in Kiri" she said, getting agreements from both sides.
Before he could leave, Naruto remembered something, "Hey Mei, you think I can get a peace treaty with Kiri and Konoha?"
Mei, noticed the damage done to the village, it would take years to restore it back to full strength; having a peace treaty would also open up a trade route; so she did the most logical thing… she agreed.
An Hour later, Mei had given Naruto a scroll explaining the details of the treaty, and said there good byes. Yagura left towards Iwa hoping to get some information. The village rejoiced, finally ending the civil war. Some tried to thank Naruto, but he was long gone. But before he could leave, Ameyuri told Naruto the next time he was in Kiri to look her up before giving him a wink.
Naruto was currently running back to Konoha at full speed, a trip that would take at least two weeks, made it there in a few hours. Once he got close, he slowed down and placed his hood over his head, in case anyone tried anything, they wouldn't know who he is.
"Halt what business do you have here!"
"Izumo, Kotetsu it's been two long" he grinned under his hood.
"I'm sorry do we know you?"
Naruto pulled back his hood enough to see his face, leaving both guards shell-shocked.
"N-Naruto? Holy- Um… sure go right in the Hokage would want to see you" Kotetsu quickly replied
"Thanks guys" he said as he ran in, leaving a trail of dust behind and some cracks on the ground.
"It's been four years, how strong do you think he's gotten?"
"I dunno, and I don't think I want to know"
Hokage Tower
Naruto was having the time of his life, making people go, 'what the hell' as he ran past them; a blur to the naked eye. Once he entered the Hokage building, he headed towards the office, and spotted the secretary, he remembered she would always be mean to him and try to stop him from seeing the Hokage.
"Excuse me I'm here to see the Hokage?"
"Ah yes right away, go right in" she said
Naruto was mildly surprised. 'I guess the hood works wonders.' He thought entering the Hokage's room.
"Ah, hello young man how can I help you?" asked the elderly Hokage
Naruto snickers, "Wow I knew people didn't recognize me with this hood on. But I didn't think it would be enough to fool you, guess I was wrong."
Sarutobi frowns, "Who are you, exactly?"
Naruto grins and removed his hood and does a mock bow, "Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, at your service!"
Sarutobi's pipe fell out his mouth and was jabbering nonsense
"N-Naruto is that really you"
"The one and only Jiji" he says with his trade mark grin
He hugged the 13 year old, spouting questions…
"Naruto where've you been?"
"Why did you leave?"
"Did you know what I've done in order to find you?"
Naruto sighed and asked him to calm down…
"Jiji the reason I left is because of what happened in the alley those years ago…"
'So it was him…' thought Sarutobi sadly
"It was also because it unlocked my Kekkei Genkai."
"Y-You have a bloodline?"
"Yes which comes to my next point I want to establish a clan here in Konoha…"
"Yes, of course but, what exactly can it do?"
"I call my Bloodline, Blacklight… it actually has four abilities…"
'Four! That's new…" thought Sarutobi
"The first is my body; though I may look weak my physical strength is enough to rival Tsunade of the Sannin…"
Sarutobi paled at that, he knew about Tsunade's legendary strength, oh man 'Hell hath no fury like woman scorned'.
"…it also increases my agility, my top speed I recorded was close around 230 mph, I can also jump around 30-50 feet in the air and fall down without breaking my bones, I can run up walls without the use of chakra…"
'Without chakra, that's pretty impressive…'
"My second ability is my senses I have what I like to call Predator Vision, the ability to detect a person's body heat, and another I call Hunter Pulse, this allows me to see ones nervous system as well as their heartbeat, If I can't detect their heat, their heart beat will always be there…"
'With ability like that, no one would be able to hide from him… is that why he calls it Hunter Pulse?'
"My third ability is Shape shifting, I can change my arms into various weapons, so far I can use claws, a whip, and a shield, these weapons are strong enough to cut through steel… I can probably use more but I'll search later…" to prove his point charged biomass into his right arm shifting it into the whipfist.
'I'm getting a bad feeling about his fourth ability' thought Sarutobi who was sweating a bit out of nervousness.
"My fourth is my most dangerous; I have the ability to consume the biomass in any person or animal…"
"Consume… like… Eating them?" he asked quite shocked
'Why does everyone think that?' "Sort of, when I say consume; I mean I can absorb their bodies into mine, this allows me to heal wounds almost instantly… I also gain their memories and any jutsu they may know… and… if they have a bloodline… I can add that to my DNA and obtain it myself."
Now this left Sarutobi shocked beyond belief, such a powerful bloodline, and the ability to obtain more though he didn't like the idea of having to kill for it…
"Naruto how many bloodlines have you obtained so far?"
"So far I have the Sharingan, and before you ask no I didn't know he was an Uchiha, he had an anbu mask with the kanji for Ne (Root) on it"
'Danzo! Root was supposed to be disbanded…'
"I also have Meiton (Dark Release) I got from Hiruko, a missing nin"
This surprised him. Hiruko, was supposed to be an A-rank bordering S-rank nuke nin
"I see well, what clan name would you like to give?"
"I want to take up my father's name, let's just leave it as Namikaze."
Hiruzen smiled at the boy, even if he knew who his father was and what he did to him, he willingly accepted it, decided to carry on his name. However if Iwa caught word of this, then they would send assassins to take out Minato's linage, after the 3rd shinobi war, Minato left a pretty bad impression after he took out most of Iwa's forces with his legendary Hirashin.
"Naruto you do realize that Iwa would try to have assassins come take you out" stated Hiruzen
"Tsk, let them come," replied Naruto arrogantly
"Naruto I don't think you understand how serious this…" but he was cut off by Naruto
"Jiji you've got a bingo book? Turn to page 93"
He did so and just like the rebel back in Kiri, Hiruzen bug-eyed and nearly had a heart attack.
"Naruto with skills like these, I can instantly make you Jonin"
Naruto thought for a moment, "Jiji as much as I want to, I rather not take short cuts, I want to start as a genin like everyone else"
Sarutobi was surprised, he thought Naruto wanted to become Hokage and would want to take up the offer but he knew he couldn't change his mind.
"Well if that's what you want… I Hiruzen Sarutobi, pronounce you Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, Tokubetsu Genin of Konoha" he stated as he handed him a black hitai-ate, which Naruto gladly accepted and tied it around his left arm.
He then took out a scroll and said, "Jiji, I've got a scroll that states a peace treaty between Konoha and Kiri."
"Ah yes Kakashi did say something about Kiri sending us that…"
"Hai Jiji, I know this is asking a lot, but what I've seen over there I would highly recommend an alliance with them."
"Alright I'll trust you on this" he signed it and summoned a messenger monkey and had him sent to Kiri.
"Arigato Jiji, you have no idea how much it means to those people."
"Think nothing of it, anyway Naruto have you ever heard of the chunin exams?" he asks
"Not really the only time I enter a village is when I need supplies and maybe something to eat."
"That's fine, see the chunin exams, and determine those who are ready to reach the rank of chunin… know normally Genin can only enter with their 3-man squad… but with your current skills, I think you won't be needing one… anyway meet me back here in two weeks I'll give you a form to sign to insure you in." he said
Naruto nodded, "Alright then, thanks for everything Jiji, first thing I'm gonna do is get me some Ichiraku, then I'm heading over my father's estate"
"yes of course, see you in two weeks, oh and Naruto if the villagers try anything… please go easy on them" he said worried for the safety of the idiot villagers
Naruto turns to face him, "sure Jiji, I promise." he said crossing his fingers behind his back.
Naruto was heading over to Icharaku, when he noticed someone looking at him from around the corner, in a flash Naruto disappeared and reappeared behind the person, forgetting that his hood was off.
The two stared at each other, ocean blue eyes into pale white eyes…
"You're…"

Sounds of a little girl crying…
"Hey are you okay?"
She looked up to see a whiskered boy the same age as her.
"I-I'm okay (sniff)"
Naruto didn't like that answer.
"No you're not, tell me what's wrong?"
"M-My clan (sniff) s-says I'm n-nothing but a f-failure (sniff) that i-if Idon't s-show promise a-as a Genin t-they'll brand me," she says between sobs.
Naruto frowns.
"I think they're crazy how could they do that to you, I bet you're stronger than you look, all you need is some confidence, and you can prove to everyone that you're not some weakling they can pick on."
She stared at him blush bright red, she smiles.
"A-Arigato…"
"Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki…"
"A-Arigato, Naruto-kun… M-My name is H-Hinata H-Hyuuga"
End of Memory
"Eh, Hinata that you?
She blushes, neon red at how close Naruto was to her, it took all of her will to not faint on the spot.
"H-Hai, are you N-Naruto-kun?"
"The same one Hinata-san."
That did it… Hinata fainted blushing crimson red, steam coming out her head.
"EH, HINATA YOU OKAY!" he said trying to fan her with his hand. (AN: I'm not making Naruto an idiot, he's just showing concern.)
Naruto couldn't just leave her there so, picked her up bridal style and carried her over to a nearby bench; he laid her there and left a note.
15 minutes later, Hinata woke up, noticed the note and read it.
Hey Hinata,
Sorry I had to leave you I have a lot of catching up to do
Anyway, if you're not too busy maybe, we can hang out sometime
I'll see you later,
-Naruto
She blushed and fainted again.
Icharaku Ramen Stand
"Hello, can take your order" said the brunette waitress
"I'll take two of everything." Naruto said with a jaw splitting grin, un-seeable due to his hood.
The waitress, looked at the customer bug-eyed, no one ate that much the only person who did was…
"Ayame-nee, didn't you're say it's impolite to stare at people?" grinned Naruto as he removed his hood
"NARUTO-KUN!" she jumped across and hugged him tightly. "DAD NARUTO-KUN'S BACK!"
An elderly man came rushing out of the kitchen, "NARUTO, MY NUMBER ONE CUSTOMER IS BACK!"
They all laughed.
"So what can we get you?"
"Same thing I told Ayame-nee, two of everything" he said
"Right away, Naruto-kun."
Half an Hour later…
Naruto had told both about what he's done the past 4 years, as well as what had happened the past 3 weeks in both Kiri and Wave country, he even told them about the clan he was starting, and offered them Sanctuary if they ever needed it, they politely declined. After finishing his 30 bowls he paid and left the stand, but not before noticing Ayame giving him a lustful look. Normally he'd go and see Itachi, but seven months after Naruto gained the Sharingan through consuming, Itachi had massacred the Uchiha clan, and was proclaimed a nuke-nin. This left him wondering why he did it, he recalled Itachi being a pacifist. This left a lot of questions unanswered.
Naruto had taken the rooftops to avoid any confrontations with the civilians; once he got to his father's estate he slit his hand with a kunai and let the fresh blood spill on the seal. It took a few seconds before, it glowed red and slowly opened, people watching from afar thinking, 'who's that' 'what gives him the right to go into Yondaime-sama's estate' 'is he a Namikaze?'
Once inside, he created a few Kage Bushin and had them search the house, after a while the clone's memories came back to him and headed up to the bedroom. He looked around and found a picture of his parents, a man that looked like an older Naruto wearing the Hokage robes holding a red haired woman with a pregnant belly. He smiled, as he set down the frame, he removed a portrait from the wall, and slit his hand again. The safe embedded to the wall opened up revealing two scrolls. He opened them and read:
Hirashin
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: S
Chakara Chains
Type: Ninjutsu/Fuinjutsu
Rank: A
'Guess they left me something, after all' he thought.
Chapter end.
AN: If there are any other suggestions for Naruto's harem please let them be known and they will be taken into consideration. Peace out.
