As this is written with my mobile phone, do apologise for all the mistakes.
Dreamer1084: this is the last obstacle that they ended to run, so light can be seen at the end of the tunnel.
Prescripto13:doumo. I really love writing the assistant to be honest... Maybe due to the fact that he has a outlook that is similar to Minato haha
The vampire assistant dashed out the door as soon as the Kage took his leave, closely with the Kyuubi behind. The pair wasn't looking for the young blond, it was an excuse for the man to leave. However, for now, he needed to talk to the man urgently - he needed to reveal his true identity, reclaiming their family bonding.
"Naruto," he called as he managed to man as the latter almost reached the village gate. "Wait."
"Hai?" the blond turned and not quite expected to be call.
Kazuhiko regained his breathe as he stopped in front of the young man. "There's something that I need to tell you, regarding your father's blood line, the name that you have not aware but inherited."
"That is?"
"The Namikaze."
As the assistant spoke, a raven flew low, waiting for landing. Kazuhiko raised his right hand for the bird and took off the paper scroll that was tied by the bird's leg. His face went white as he read. The fox was curious and jumped on the assistant's shoulder to read. His face got black as he read along.
"I have to go," Kazuhiko stated blankly as his mind was going blank. He thought with the aid of the remaining Uchiha, everything should go smoothly. He was only glad that Lucifer's desire didn't break out. "I know it's bit rush, but Naruto-kun, if you want to come to our village, can you come with me now? Without the villager's guide, it's hard to find your way."
"But ji-san..." the blond hesitated unusually.
"Don't worry about it," the fox finally spoke. "I will talk to him, just go with Kazuhiko first." He then turned to the assistant, "I will be coming alone, once I am done here. I hope An-san is getting better soon."
"Finger cross," he replied as he suppressed his concern. He has been the vampire's physician for centuries; he is the only one who know the vampire's condition. He only could hope that he has trained his students well enough.
After letting the blond to do a quick packing, they took the first train to leave the village, making their way to one of the largest piers along the coast.
Normally, Kazuhiko would take the train and then ride. But since he doubt that the young man could ride and that his horse could not carry two grown ups, the water path would be much easier.
Naruto felt asleep as he was busy, trying to organise, settling all the matters that he could attend to. He looked at the sleeping blond softly as he recalled the days as he was young.
He was twenty five when he met the vampire. He got married once he reached adulthood. His wife was appointed by his family, way before his birth. He has no love to his wife and that sadly he was not as upset as his wife passed away during child birth, leaving him a son.
Since his sister in law kindly took over the responsibility of looking after the child, if returned his duty as the researcher, developing new drugs. He took over the small house by the cliff, a small distance away from his clansman.
He found the unconscious vampire as he was doing his daily scroll in the woods. He took care of the wounds and checked the vampire's condition. He noticed the Tsuki and the monster that was sealed inside the vampire right away. He heard of the stories and that he did a small study on the Sasaki when he was younger, he knew the significance of the Tsuki to the vampires. He studied the vampire's facial feature, as he completed his check before taking his sleep in the room next door.
He woke up as the main door closed softly. He grabbed his dressing gown and dashed out to check. His patient was out, standing by the cliff, viewing the small rising sun. His tattoos began to show as the sun rose. "I doubt that you don't know who or what I am, why you still bought me to your house?"
"You also know which family I belongs to, Sasaki san. It's against my principal, especially when we are not as against your clan as others may believe," Kazuhiko relied as he approached. "You are very weak, your physician didn't look after you well."
"I don't have one, as I don't believe in them," the vampire stated plainly. He changed the topic sharply, "I am An, and you are?"
"Kazuhiko, Namikaze Kazuhiko."
An nodded softly as he put on the dressing gown that the man offered. "Doumo."
"Kazuhiko-san," Naruto called and the page man drew his attention from his memories back to the reality.
"You're wake," he spoke softly. "Then it is time for us to talk." He took off his disguise, not only revealing the original colour of his iris but also revealing his blond hair.
Naruto grasped as he saw the face. They were so alike, as if they belonged to the same family. The vampire assistant has sky blue eyes instead of his ocean blues.
"Men of the Namikaze family always have blond hair and blue eyes. Obviously, the colour does vary due to the mothers' bloodlines. Your father, Minato, Yondaime Hokage, is my great niece and so that makes me your great uncle. No one has ever tell you this as the Konaha wanted to keep you safe. But at such moment, I felt that it's time for you to decide your own destiny."
Naruto's mind was spinning, as he tried his best to recall what his sensei, Iruka, taught. Hip brain wasn't functioning properly as he was still somehow overwhelmed by the fact that his idol, Yondaime was his father. 'Gee, how troublesome,' he recalled what the Nara said and he then remembered what the brunette said. 'The Namikaze has been one of the famous family, apart from the ones that we heard daily. Their family members, even small in amount, are extremely talented and loyal. Sadly, there's one exception, for which it's unfortunate but normal, as you will learn in the future; one of the physician decided to leave the family 800 years ago. The church suspected his departure, but then we never heard of the man since.'
"So you are the one in the books?"
"Hai. I am not a good example, but the most important thing is that we, Namikaze, once set your target, we won't give up easily. I hope that you have the gut inside."
