What if Naruto had a hidden power that came to be when he fought Mizuki, a bloodline he never knew of? Then he would be known as the Kaze no Arashi, the Wind Storm!

Kaze no Arashi

Chapter 2:

Kekkai Genkai of the Namikaze Clan!

Naruto felt as if he was floating in the air like a bird in flight. He moved his hand and the wind coiled around it fiercely as he lightly felt its pulse, its life move around him. He released his imaginative grip on the air causing it to fly out like a thousand scythes, slashing anything in his way. This caused Naruto to go wide eyed, look at his hand and grin. Damn, I didn't think I was this badass!

Once he looked ahead, he found all he could dream of, an endless buffet of ramen, his life-long crush, Sakura Haruno, and a bunch of ninja like Sasuke, the Third Hokage and even his idol and hero, the Fourth Hokage, bowing and saying, "We are not worthy!" repeatedly to the young Uzumaki. He grinned even more as he rushed to the stand where Sakura blushed and gave Naruto a kiss on his cheek, causing Naruto to blush and scratch the back of his head which made Sakura giggle. Right in front of Naruto's buffet was the item that made Naruto cry a pool of happiness, the Hokage hat.

His hands trembled forth to grab the hat, finally grabbing it after looking at it for five minutes. He put it on top of his head of blonde mountains and turned to see all of the village cheering and yelling, "Hail, Naruto, the Fifth Hokage! Huzzah, huzzah!"

Naruto just stood there, crying streams of joy. Man, this feels like a…

Naruto stopped as everything turned into black before opening to the familiar ceiling of Konoha Hospital. …dream. Damn it, why couldn't lasted longer… like… for all eternity!

Naruto arose to the surprised face of Iruka and smiling face of the Third Hokage. What freaked him out was he felt something on his skin like an invisible armor, a hidden layer of skin. He made a handsign, thinking it was something someone put on him, and generated chakra only for that layer to force itself out and strike the wall he was looking at like what he saw in his dream.

Iruka and the Third Hokage looked at Naruto who gaped at what he had done to one of the hospital rooms, that was luckily unoccupied, and scratched the back of his head when he looked at the two, only for them to produce a sweat drop in response. Naruto, then, saw the Third Hokage merely chuckle as he made a handsign and repaired the wall Naruto had destroyed.

"That was amazing, ojiisan!" Naruto said to the man he considered his grandpa, who chuckled in response.

"Yes it was, Naruto-kun," the Third Hokage said lightly before becoming serious. "I heard everything about yesterday from your sensei, Iruka."

This caused Naruto to lose his carefree smile and lower his head. "I see…"

The Third Hokage went up to Naruto, sat in a chair and put a comforting hand on his back. "I know that you must feel like I betrayed you when I didn't tell you about the Kyuubi… I'm sorr-"

"It's okay, ojii-san," Naruto said with a sad smile. "I can understand why you made that a secret to keep from me, but could you please tell me about why I have this power?"

The Third Hokage took a puff of his pipe, blew the smoke into the open air and sighed. "This is going to take a while to explain and you may either grow excited and repeatedly thank me or hate me for the rest of your life."

Naruto shook his head rapidly which made both the Sarutobi and Iruka to chuckle at the boy. "There is no way I would get angry at you, ojii-san."

"Alright," the Hokage said as he made a handsign to sound proof the room from the outside, "are you alright with your sensei staying here and hearing what I have to say?"

"He's like you, ojii-san," Naruto smiled happily. "He's part of my family."

This made Iruka gasp, smile and cry happily at the words said from the container of the Kyuubi. "Thank you, Naruto."

"No prob, Iruka-sensei." Naruto cheerfully replied.

"Now that all of that is taken care of," the Hokage butted in. "We can get to the business of why you have this ability Naruto."

Naruto looked intently while Iruka began to wipe his eyes and turn serious fast at the wise leader's words.

"Long ago, a clan known as the Namikaze lived in this village. It was a very small clan of shinobi that held an inherited trait, a Kekkai Genkai."

"Kekkai Genkai?" Naruto asked as the leader of the village merely nodded.

"Yes, that trait was the ability to wield wind nature affinity perfectly, to control it like you're the wind itself. That ability was given to you by your father, Namikaze Minato." This caused Iruka to gasp and force himself against the wall.

"You mean…" Iruka forced out as the Hokage merely nodded back to the Chunnin.

Naruto tilted his head in confusion, "Whose this Namikaze Minato guy?" He then got excited, "Was he a badass shinobi like you, ojii-san?"

This made the Third chuckle and ruffle Naruto's head of blonde hair, "He was even more powerful than me in most ways. He's actually a hero and well known throughout the ninja world. After all, my student, Jiraiya the Toad Sennin, was his teacher."

Naruto's mouth went wide open, "Who is he? Who is he? Who is he?" He jumped up and down excitedly on the bed before the Hokage stopped him and started to talk.

"Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash of Konoha, was your father and the Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure, the one who sealed the Nine-Tailed fox into you to save the village."

Naruto stood still, frozen as ice, until tears of sadness and happiness mixed together and he ran toward the door, opening it.

"Naruto," Iruka yelled at his student as the Third Hokage sighed, smoking his pipe.

"Let him be, Iruka," the Third Hokage said, sorrowfully. "He's just trying to cope with the idea of the Fourth being his father."

"But what if he tells someone accidently that he's the son of the Fourth," Iruka yelled at the older man.

"I'm pretty sure that Naruto, at least, knows better than to tell this to anybody that isn't trustworthy," the elderly Hokage spoke as he looked out the window. I just hope he figures out how to cope with all this. I know eventually, no, pretty soon, Naruto will be back to his old self again.

Naruto Uzumaki was running, running from reality; he couldn't believe that his hero was the one who put this fate upon him. That it was his very hero, his very father that had cursed him to this miserable life in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. That the Fourth was the one that caused all the villagers to worship him and condemn his son, not caring about what happened to the vessel that held the Kyuubi at bay,

The wind became an unstable hurricane around Naruto, causing everybody to run and call the ANBU that the Kyuubi was coming, the Kyuubi was coming. The wind calmed down once Naruto sat on a bench near the park. Tears kept falling as he sniffled and wiped his eyes, trying to cope with the information he had just learned about himself.

Why… why did my own father give me this life? Naruto thought bitterly as someone started to see him and approached him.

"Yo," said the shinobi as Naruto wiped his eyes and looked at who was there. The shinobi had silverfish, white hair that tilted and a headband covered his left eye. A thin layer of fabric covered his chin and mouth, though you could see by his eye turned in a U shape that he was smiling at the Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails, "you're Uzumaki Naruto, correct?"

"How… how do you know my name?" Naruto croaked out.

"I am Hatake Kakashi, but you can call me Kakashi-sensei," the man told Naruto, confusing him.

"Sensei? Sorry, but Iruka is my sensei." Naruto replied to the shinobi.

"So, they haven't told you yet," Kakashi said as he looked at the boy and noticed how he was able to use his sensei's Kekkai Genkai. So, he's Minato's son, like I thought, after all. I can't wait to tell him all I can about my times with him. Maybe we'll grow close like I did with his father. "Since you were able to use the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, or Shadow Clone Jutsu, Iruka allowed you to pass and I was chosen as your Jonin sensei for you, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura."

Naruto didn't react as he was still thinking about his father.

"So, you found out about Minato-sensei, eh," Kakashi said more then asked.

"Minato-sensei?" asked Naruto as Kakashi nodded.

"Your father was my sensei," Kakashi said as Naruto nodded sadly. "I understand that you hated your father for what he did to you, but I believed he believed in you to learn to master the Kyuubi, tame its powers. I know sensei well enough to know he doesn't do stuff without reason."

"He is my hero, he saved the village, and he was my favorite Hokage…" Naruto said.

"No," Kakashi said, which shocked Naruto, "both you and the Fourth saved Konohagakure from the Kyuubi. Without you, the Fourth wouldn't have been able to seal the Kyuubi. You are just as much as a hero as he was that day."

Naruto had tears of happiness in his eyes as he hugged his new sensei, "Thank you, Kaka-sensei."

Kakashi rubbed Naruto's head affectionately, "No prob, Naruto. You might want to go back to the Hokage to listen to everything."

Naruto nodded his head, "Alright!" He rushed to the hospital he came from and waved goodbye, ready to learn everything about his family.

"So, you came back, Naruto-kun," the Third asked when he heard the door open and Naruto said, "Yes!"

"Do you want to know about your mother, Uzumaki Kushina, as well?" Naruto's eyes bulged and excitedly said, "Yeah, believe it!"

The Hokage chuckled at the boy, "Your mother came from the village of Uzushiogakure, a village that was an ally to Konohagakure as the Senju and the Uzumaki were distant relatives. Uzumaki's were also known for their incredible sealing abilities and their longevity, their long lives. She was very cheerful and bright and thought ramen was a gift from Kami so personality wise she was just like you. You also have the same face."

"Can I have a picture of her?" Naruto asked to which the Sarutobi handed the boy a picture of a very beautiful women with violet eyes and long red hair which made Naruto blush.

"Beautiful," Naruto whispered in stunned silence as he asked if he could keep the picture to which the Third nodded.

"Iruka left his head band and told me that you'll be able to take your picture up at the tower since you are a genin."

"Yeah, I met Kaka-sensei on the way here." Naruto said cheerfully.

"You will report to the academy to see him tomorrow like the other students, because they don't even know their teas yet." Naruto nodded at the Hokage's words as he followed him, putting the headband up safely and smiling, looking forward to his adventures up ahead on his road to becoming the Kaze no Arashi!

AN: There's the second chapter. The next chapter will have Naruto and his team meeting and the bell test. As for pairings, I will take my time and come up with some as the story goes on. Romance won't be totally important until later so for right now, I'll focus on Naruto and the plot; his path to becoming the Kaze no Arashi. I will also change up the story a little at a time to keep things more interesting as time goes on. Review this in order to tell me your thoughts and ideas for the fic and I might consider them if enough people bring it up. Hope you enjoy as this is my first fic!
