Hey everybody, thesaiyanjedi is here with the latest chapter of "A Surprise Inheritance."

This chapter is going to be a lot longer than the previous ones, mostly because one, I had a lot more free time to focus on it today, and two, because I will be doing a lot of description this time. I hope you all enjoy what I came up with.

So, with that said, lets get to reading!

Chapter 4: Home Sweet Home

Naruto and Sakura made their way to the edge of the village, just on the edge of the section of it that had been destroyed by Pain. It was by sheer dumb luck that the place they were looking for was out of range when the attack happened.

...Of course, there was another reason why the Uzumaki house wasn't targeted.

"I don't get it," Naruto said looking at the map, "this is the address, but there nothing out here."

"Maybe there's been some kind of mistake?" Sakura asked.

"No, Kakashi-sensei said that this map came with the will, my parents wouldn't lie to me."

"Naruto, you never knew your parents. How can you—?" She was stopped when her boyfriend gave her a incredulous look. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean—"

"It's okay Sakura. I'm just...I don't know. If this house really is out here, then it would be like...like having a piece of them with me again, y'know?"

Sakura smiled, "I completely understand. You must miss them a lot."

"I only got to meet my dad twice and my mom once...not counting that alternate reality thing that one time. I've sometimes wondered how my life really would have been different if they had lived."

Sakura walked up behind the blonde and wrapped her arms around him. "Naruto, they gave their lives to save you. They sealed Kurama inside you only because there was no other way, and also because they had complete and utter faith in you. They loved you, Naruto."

He smiled and closed his eyes, "I know."

She ended her moment of comfort by planting a quick kiss on his mouth. "Come on doofus, lets keep looking."

The young couple must have been searching those open fields for several minutes with no luck. Naruto was getting quite frustrated, to which Sakura needed to knock him over the head to calm him down.

And then, it happened. Naruto was walking around an unexplored part of the field when he hit something, something hard, something that wasn't there.

"OW!" he said as he fell to the ground.

"What happened?" Sakura asked as she ran over to him. "Are you all right?"

"Yeah I'm fine," he said standing back up and rubbing his cheek. "But I feel like I just walked straight into a wall."

"What wall?"

"I don't know." He put his hand out to feel the thin air before him, and once again to his surprise his hands landed on something solid.

"Huh?" he said putting both hands on the invisible surface, Sakura quickly doing the same.

"An invisible wall? It must be protected by some kind of concealing genjutsu, a damn good one too if Kakashi-sensei didn't notice it."

Naruto bolted in realization. "This must be it. This must be the place! Dad must have cast a genjutsu on the house so that no one else would find it until after I was born and we were ready to move in!"

The young man quickly entered the proper pose, "RELEASE!"

They waited several seconds...nothing happened.

"What the hell?!"

"Don't panic Naruto, maybe there's another way in...? Wait! What about your key?"

"What about it? It's useless if I can't see where the keyhole is. I'm not even sure dad would have been that sharp."

Sakura was in deep thought. The solution was surely a simple one, but what could it be? Minato and Kushina intended for their whole family to move in here after Naruto was born; neither could have predicted what would happen that terrible night.

'Wait a minute...all three of them were going to move in. Maybe...'

"Naruto?" she said to get the boy's attention, "let's try both of us releasing in the genjutsu together."

"You think that will work?"

"Just trust me doofus!"

Not wanting to get on his girlfriend's bad side (again), he decided to just do as he was told.

"RELEASE!" they both shouted in unison.

The invisible barrier before them fell, finally revealing what lay behind it. It was a large black gate, elegantly decorated but not overly formal. No doubt that it was further safeguarding whatever lay behind it.

"Wow!" Naruto said in amazement. "Hey Sakura, how did you know that would work?"

"I just figured, since you three were supposed to all move in together, maybe it would take both your mom and your dad to release the genjutsu. That way the house had an extra level of protection against anybody who stumbled across this place."

"Wow Sakura, you really are smart!"

The pink-haired girl blushed, "Thanks."

Naruto saw a keyhole within the gate and, knowingly, pulled out the key that Kakashi gave him and put it inside the hole and turned it. They pushed the gate open, finally revealing what lay beyond it.

There was a large front yard with fresh green grass, four trees, a brick pathway, and branching off from said pathway was a circular-shaped patio space. The pathway led up to the house and came to form the front porch. on either side of the porch, surrounding the entire front of the house, were a pair of flowerbeds decorated with a variety of beautifully colorful flowers.

The house itself was huge. It had to be a least three floors tall, and on the top floor were three balconies overlooking the front yard. The house was painted a lovely mixture of pearl white, tan and gold, and it had a well-shingled roof and a brick chimney on it's left-hand side. It really did look like something out of a storybook.

"Whoa..." That was the only reaction either of them could give upon seeing this front yard.

As they both entered the gate, and the fence which it was a part of, they merely took in what they were looking at as they walked across the pathway to the front porch.

"This is...beautiful," Sakura said in disbelief.

"I can't believe this is all for me," Naruto said in equal disbelief.

The two of them made it to the front door, which was large and pearl white in color. Actually, it was two doors with elegant golden handles. Naruto and Sakura traded a look before he stuck his key in the keyhole and turned it. They both heard the lock open and, with a deep sigh from Naruto, he opened the door...

The lights were out, so neither of them could make out what was inside this place. Sakura felt along the wall until she found a light switch and flicked it on. Once the lights came up, they both were left dumbstruck yet again by what they were seeing.

The house had a tile floor and large front hall that extended clear to the back door, and whatever back yard lay beyond it. In the center of the hallway was an atrium which split off into and east and west hallway.

Before even getting to the atrium, there were openings in the walls without doors that led to two large rooms that were on opposite sides of each other. To the left was a large living room, already filled with comfortable chairs, recliners, a large sofa, and an actual wood-burning brick fireplace, hence explaining the chimney seen from the outside. To the right was a large parlor room, one that was meant to entertain guests, filled with more furniture and, believe it or not, an open bar in the far corner loaded with drinks.

Neither of the two teens could say a word as they kept looking through what was only the first floor of this palace. As they made it to the back hall, they saw that it too had two openings without doors that led to two different rooms. To the right was a laundry room with a large washer and dryer and sliding door on the back wall that housed and fully stocked utility closet. To the right, however, was a very large dining room. with a large table in the center that could comfortably seat an entire family and several guests. The dinner table was polished oak wood on the elegant tile floor that lay beneath their feet. Naruto knew he was going to love eating in here!

"Holy crap!" Naruto finally said to break his silence.

"Naruto, your parents left you all of this?!" Sakura asked incredulously.

"I know Sakura! I can't believe it either!" He sat down at his new dinner table for a moment and ran his hands along it's surface, and then he noticed yet another doorless opening on the west wall of the dining room.

'I bet I already know where that leads,' Naruto thought to himself, and Sakura was of like mind.

They both went into the other room and, sure enough, they were right. It was a large kitchen, one with a marble counter tops, polished wooden cabinets, a stainless steel, two-level oven, a large stainless steel sink and water faucet, a microwave, a stainless steel refrigerator, and more. There was even a coffee pot set up on the counter for quick access to morning coffee.

Naruto couldn't resist and ran over to the fridge and opened it up. There was a little bit of food inside, but not very much.

"Aw man!" he said aloud.

"Quit complaining doofus!" Sakura protested. "You're well off as it is; you can go to the market and stock up on food at any time."

"I guess you're right...Hey, what are those over there?"

The looked over to the back wall of the kitchen to see not one but two doors against the wall, leading to two more rooms.

'That's odd,' Sakura thought, 'why would they have an extra pair of rooms leading into the kitchen of all places?'

She was broken out of her thinking when she saw Naruto walk up to one of the doors and open it up. What he saw inside there made his eyes bulge out and his mouth water...

The door lead to a fully-stocked, walk-in pantry, with heaps and heaps of food lining the shelves, with a wooden stool kept inside the pantry for aided access to the top shelves. And it was food of every variety: every kind of fruit, vegetable, rich bread of different kinds, pastas, rice, lots and lots of canned goods, cheeses, some jarred meats, you name it, they probably had it...And yes, there was even a few cases of instant ramen.

"Hot damn! I think I just died and went to heaven!" Naruto shouted as he started looking through the shelves of food like a kid at Christmas, his mouth practically salivating as he did so.

Sakura couldn't help but laugh to herself seeing his behavior. But then, she could hardly blame him, the pantry was like anyone's dream come true.

'At least he'll be eating good from now on, no more excuses for just eating ramen every day.'

When Naruto was finally done, walking out with a slice of bread still in his mouth, they decided to look into the other room next to the pantry. Opening the door, what they found was that the room was freezing cold.

"Yikes!" Naruto said, "what the heck is that for!"

"I think it's a cold pantry," Sakura answered.

"A what?"

"It's a special kind of pantry kept at freezing temperatures to help keep certain foods fresh. I think you're meant to keep your meats and other frozen goods in here.

"Oh," was the only response the boy could come up with.

Having has enough of the eating area, the teens exited the kitchen back into the dining room, which had a second opening on the far wall that lead into the west hallway. There they saw a flight of stairs that lead upstairs to whatever was waiting for them on the second floor. Looking down the east hallway, they saw yet another flight of stairs, only these were going downstairs.

"My God! How big is this place?" Naruto asked aloud.

"I don't know," Sakura answered, "but I'm definitely impressed so far. How about you Naruto?"

"Damn right I'm impressed! This place is awesome!"

He noticed one more door at the end of the east hallway and decided to walk over and open it. It lead to the bathroom, a very well-kept, elegant one with marble counter tops, an marble sink, a surprising amount of space to move around in, a raised tub for bathing, and a porcelain toilet.

"Nice," he said aloud. "Give me a minute sweetie, I'm gonna break this baby in!"

Sakura merely groaned and slapped her own forehead as she waited outside the door. 'Jeez, what is it with men and their fascination with their own shit?!'

Before long she heard a toilet flush and Naruto opened the door good as new.

"Did you remember to wash your hands?" she asked with folded arms.

"What do you take me for? A caveman?"

"You sure border on it sometimes."

"Hey!"

"I'm just kidding with you sweetie. Come on, let's see what downstairs first."

The two of them went down the stairs that were just across from the bathroom, neither having any idea what was down there. What they found was a large basement level with several oversized rooms. There was a hallway down there with four rooms along the right side, none of which had a door save for the last one. The first room was kind of a dirty place with a wooden workbench and several tools and tool boxes set around. They reasoned that this was probably some sort of workshop intended for home improvement or hobby projects.

Next to it, however, was something that left them, once again, dumbfounded. It was an open room that contained several barrels and racks of bottles...wine bottles! Many of these wine bottles were very old and well aged, and no doubt they would be a big hit at parties.

"My God Naruto! You've got your own wine cellar?!"

Naruto didn't respond to Sakura's outburst as he was busy looking through the bottles of wine. He found one in particular, a bottle of Chardonnay from the year he was born. He then walked over to one of the large barrels and figured, correctly, that there was still more wine contained within it.

'Maybe mom and dad had a few more secrets than I ought to know about,' he thought with a sweat drop.

The third room right next to the cellar was not very clean, like the workshop, because it contained a bunch of electrical equipment and fuse boxes. There were also several knobs and thermostats on the machinery too.

"This must be the electrical and furnace room," Sakura explained. "You'll need to come down here if there's ever a power outage or if the heater or air conditioner breaks."

Naruto nodded his head in understanding as they moved on to the final room along the wall. This was the only room that had a door on it and for good reason. The door was metal, as was the portion of the wall around it. There was a key hole in the door which Naruto inserted his key into to open it. When he did his mouth hit the floor and he saw dollar signs in his eyes.

It was his family's vault, and inside it was all of Naruto's inheritance, all $50,000,000 ryo of it!

"Oh...My...God!" Naruto said in shock.

"Whoa..." Sakura said in shared disbelief. "Naruto, you're loaded!"

"I know..." He closed the vault for fear that he'd be tempted to stare at his money for the rest of the day.

Then there was the other wall of the basement, which housed one large, empty room...Well, empty save for several boxes of stuff and chests and other baggage. It was obvious that this huge space was to be used for storage. He'd have to remember to look through all this stuff some other time.

The strange thing was, this was the only open room on this side of the wall, but it did not extend to the end of the basement. It was as if, somehow, there was a second room there to which there was no door, meaning that one would have to get in there another way...

After finishing up in the basement, they decided to go upstairs and check out the second floor. Once they got upstairs, they found a long hallway with three doors on either side. They began with the first door on the right hand side, nearest to the stairs.

They opened the first door near the stairs and found themselves in a very spacious room with padded walls and two sliding doors on the back wall. Inside the room were things like simple weights, practice dummies, punching bags, and so on. Naruto and Sakura both knew what this was, but for perhaps the dozenth time today, they could not believe it.

"It's my own personal dojo," Naruto let out. "I can get in hours and hours of training without ever having to leave my house!"

"This is amazing!" Sakura agreed.

They walked over to the two sliding doors on the back wall, opening the first one.

Inside it were rows and shelves of weapons: kunai, katanas, bo staffs, sais, nunchakus, tonfa, sickles, everything a ninja could need.

'Wow, wait until Tenten gets a load of this," Sakura thought with a smirk.

They opened the second door, revealing...nothing. It was just a small room with padded walls, that was it.

"I don't get it," Sakura said. "What do you suppose this is for?"

Naruto didn't know why, but he had a hunch that he knew the answer. "Sakura, could you shut the door behind me for a second?"

Not sure what he was getting at, the girl did as she was asked anyway, leaving Naruto alone in the small space. He then sat down in a lotus position and focused his mind, and his chakra.

"Sakura, can you hear me?" There was no answer from the other side.

Having seen enough, he got up and opened the door. "Sakura, didn't you hear me calling you from in there?"

"No, why? Did you need something?"

Naruto smiled in understanding, "I knew it! I know what this room is for."

"What is it?"

"Its a meditation room. The walls are padded to muffle out any noise from the outside and let you meditate in total silence."

Sakura nodded her head in understanding, it now seeming so obvious to her.

After leaving the dojo, they went into the room next door to it, revealing the exact opposite of what they had just seen. This room was filled with lounge chairs, a pool table, a foosball table, a target hanging on the wall for a game of darts, and other recreational things. It was Naruto's personal recreation room.

Right next to it was something just as good. It was a room with about five of six comfy chairs lined up in front of a large screen. There was even a vintage film projector in there as well. It was obvious that this was meant to be some of media or entertainment room.

They exited the entertainment room and moved on to the three rooms on the opposite wall. What could possibly be on this side of the house?

The started with the door directly across from them, the closest to another flight of stairs going upward. They opened the door to reveal a large room with shelves, books, and a large desk, which was neatly set.

"This would have been my dad's office," Naruto said in recognition.

"I guess Lord Fourth must have anticipated bringing some of his work home with him," Sakura surmised. "I guess this means that it's your office now, huh?"

Naruto didn't say a word as he closed the door and moved on. They opened the next room. It was just an empty room, but it looked large enough to do a number of things with, even hold another office perhaps.

They opened the third door, and this room was the largest of all. Inside were row upon row, shelf upon shelf of books and scrolls. And in the center was a large table where one could sit for reading and researching. As the two of them started going through the library, they found books dedicated to such subjects as basic ninja training, chakra control, secret ninjutsu techniques, world history, and, to Sakura's joy, several medical books as well. They even found a few manga volumes in there too, of all things.

"I could spend hours in here," Sakura said almost dreamily.

"Come on sweetie," the blonde called to his girlfriend, "we've still got more to see."

But as Naruto said as he closed the door he could not help but say aloud, "Jeez! Can this place possibly get any cooler?"

"Maybe it can," Sakura answered, "we still have one more floor to see."

With that, they walked up a second flight of stairs to the third floor. By process of elimination, they both figured that they knew what was up here, but they needed to see it either way. Like on the second floor, there were six doors, three on either side of the hallway. They opened the first door closest to the stairs and looked inside.

It was a large bedroom, with a large bed, a second door that led into a walk-in closet, and a door that led to one of the third floor balconies they saw when they first came into the front yard.

They decided to mix up their pattern a bit and opened the door directly across from them, revealing a room with a similar makeup, also with a walk-in closet and a balcony. Since this room was on the other side of the house, this meant that there were no less than six third-floor balconies, three overlooking the front yard and three overlooking the back yard, whatever was out there.

They checked out the next two rooms across from each other and they were similar bedrooms. Clearly this floor was designed with the preparation of either housing a large family or for making any guests who stayed the night as comfortable as possible.

It did not escape Naruto's mind that, in another life, one of these rooms world have been his growing up. He probably would have picked the second room on the right for the view it would have offered and the atmosphere of it.

Then they came to the final two rooms, one on the left, one on the right. They decided to save the room on the right for last because it actually had two doors that swung out and had handles instead of knobs, similar to the front door. They both knew what this meant, so Naruto wanted to save this room for last.

Instead, they opened the last door on the left, revealing a second bathroom, this one even more lavish that the one on the first floor. This one had and even more elaborate marble counter top, a brass sink, a porcelain toilet, gold trimmings, and a walk-in shower with a glass door.

"Whoa..." both of them said at the same time.

"Gosh Naruto," Sakura said by herself, "that shower looks big enough to easily fit two people at once!"

There was an awkward silence and two faces that blushed as deep red at the realization of what the girl had just said. They shut the door promptly after to try to get some suddenly erotic images that appeared in both of their heads.

Then it was time, the final room. They knew there was only one thing that could be behind here, and so, with a deep sigh from Naruto, they opened one of the doors to this final room...

It was another bedroom, but this one was different. It was much larger than the others, still had a walk-in closet, and the entrance to the balcony was actually similar to the entrance to the room itself. The bed was also much larger, king sized, big enough to fit two people.

Yes...this was the master bedroom. It was what would have been Minato and Kushina's room had they lived to enjoy this mansion they had created for their family.

But now, as fate would have it, it was to become Naruto's own room, his and whatever woman he chose to spend the rest of his life with...

"So..." Naruto started, suddenly feeling a bit awkward in Sakura's presence. "Umm...I guess this is my master bedroom now huh?"

"Y-Yeah..." Sakura said, suddenly getting just as nervous.

There was a long silence before Naruto finally spoke again. "So you wanna go look out at the back yard?"

"Yeah!" Sakura said the instant the boy finished talking, anxious to move on to something else.

They walked over to the balcony doors and opened them, stepping out onto the balcony to see...well, something extraordinary.

The back yard had everything, everything, that you could possibly want! The back door led to a wooden deck, that ran the length of the house, with two large areas that it led to. On the right was a back patio section with a few outdoor chair and a barbecue pit. On the right was an area covered by a big dome so they could not see what it was. Later, when the two of them went down there, what they found was that inside was a private, artificial hot spring! It was split down the center, men on the right, women on the left, with a barrier in place to avoid peeping, but which could still be removed for any reason...say some late night romance for example.

Coming off of the deck was a concrete path that weaved it's way through the back yard grass, fresh and green. The path split off into four directions at the center, which housed a fountain. Taking the pathway that went right led to some sort of outdoor chamber, where people could gather and have fun, or perhaps business could be done. The path to the left split off into two directions: one way led to a large swimming pool, the other to a hot tub—yeah, Naruto was very happy to find out about those! Finally, the path that led north provided extra walkway to a small garden where the owners of the house could plant whatever crops they wanted, mainly fresh vegetables for their diet. Naruto, having always had a curious interest in taking care of plants, was kind of intrigued by this.

Naruto and Sakura had been saying it over and over again ever since they got here, but there was no helping it, they needed to say it again. "Whoa..."

After looking out over the balcony, the young lovers walked out onto the back patio and pulled up a couple of chairs.

"So Naruto, what do you think of your inheritance? Do you like it?"

"Are you kidding me?! I LOVE it! I'm moving in as soon as get all of my stuff packed up!"

Sakura smiled cutely, "I'm glad. If anyone has earned the privilege to live in a place like this, it's you."

"Thank you Sakura, that really means a lot to me." He look around his new back yard and then his new house. "Still, living in a huge place like this may get kind of lonely, and its pretty obvious that mom and dad designed this place with the intention of inviting guests over after I was born..." He found himself deep in thought for a few seconds before a familiar goofy smile appeared on his face."

"What are you thinking?" Sakura asked, knowing that smile all too well.

"Sakura, I need your help with something. After I'm done moving in, I know the first thing I want to do with this place."

"What's that Naruto?"

The blonde's grin got even wider, "I want to throw a party for all of our friends."

There you have it readers, Naruto got discovered his new house that his parents left him and WOW!

For those who may not of figured it out, yes, this is the same home that Naruto and his family are living out of in my other stories, including "Shinachiku's First Adventure." In fact, that reference to a room in the basement with no door is meant to be the same panic room that the kids found Hanami hiding in.

I realize that some of my descriptions of the house might have gotten confusing due to all the details. So, I encourage you all to take a look at some floor plans I drew myself that I have used as reference for my stories; they are posted on thesaiyanjedi's channel on deviantArt. I'm not able to post a hyperlink, so the URLs will have to do, but remember to put m username and then the site name and a slash mark first before the URLs:

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and lets see how well Naruto and Sakura's party goes. I'm sure their friends are going to loose their minds when they see the orange clad knucklehead's new place!

Well, until next time, see ya!
