Chapter 1

"I am Uzumaki Naru."

Silence was met in the office no one move and no one spoke.

She looked to the Sandiame and spoke, "If you want me to answer your questions, then those two are to leave," pointing to Sakura and Sasuke "and they are not to know of anything I say right now, and get Inoichi and Shikaku."

The Sandiame looked at her for a long time before he sent his Anbu to retrieve the two.

"Sasuke, Sakura out, now." Kakashi's voice was serious, and followed what the Sandiame was doing as well.

"What?! Kakashi-sensei why can't we know?" Sakura eyed both blondes seeing the resemblance was uncanny. She was pushed out with Sasuke before she had gotten her answer.

5 minutes later the two men came in through the door, and the Anbu were signaled to leave the room.

Naru had taken a seat on the couch right next the window looking out onto the village, she turned the two men and pulled out several tags. She stuck them onto the walls before they activated glowing an eerie purple.

She turned to the others with a sorry expression, "Sorry, I don't trust any seals other than those made by me, my godfather, or my sensei." She looked to the Sandiame, who had his eyebrow raised, "Don't worry they are only silencing seals, so no can listen in or even see into this room."

She cleared her throat, "Let's see where I should start? Hmm, to hell with it I've never been good at explaining things that are this complicated so I'm just going to go out and say it. I am Uzumaki Naru, I am not your version of Naruto but of another dimension; one where instead of being born a boy I was born a girl. My dimension was destroyed, I came to this one because it's a parallel to mine, so everything that happened in mine will happen here as well. I came to help." The determination in her voice was clear but what she said shocked everyone.

"That's just crazy!" exclaimed Naruto, "How do we know you're not lying?"

She turned to him, "Because I'm here to stop everyone from dying again." The sharpness in her voice made everyone flinch back and have a sense of foreshadowing.

"She's not lying." Inoichi announced.

"Well then, where or when should I start to explain?" She wondered out loud.

"How about you begin that you prove that you are indeed who you said you are." The Sandiame's voice was calm.

Naru lifted up her shirt and channeled chakra to make the 8 trigram seal appear on her stomach, all the adults gasped. Naru looked to Kakashi and told him to come closer, "Check to see if this is not the same exact seal that your sensei used to seal the Kyuubi all those years ago, hell check the demonic chakra that is in there."

Kakashi did and was shocked by the results, he turned to the others and nodded.

"Alright, Naru you have our attention." He motioned for her to continue.

She took a deep breath, "First things, first tell me have you two gone on the mission to the Wave yet?"

Kakashi and Naruto nodded, "Damn, I was too late to save Haku and Zabuza, they would have been great allies if they had returned to Kiri. Their Civil War should be over which means that Mei is the new Mizukage. Zabuza and Mei were lovers once before but he left when he failed his assassination on the old Mizukage."

Sarutobi was shocked at what she had just said, they had just received word that the war was over and that they had a new kage, but no identification.

"Wait, how did you know of Haku's name?" Naruto asked her.

She turned to him with an amused expression, "Well Naruto, I did just say that I am you from another dimension and a parallel one at that, which means everything you have been through I went through the same thing. I met Haku in the field at the Wave mission, after training most of the night to complete the tree climbing exercise. He told me about how he was collecting herds for his precious person and I didn't know he was a guy until he said it out loud when he was leaving." The look on her younger counterpart's face was priceless, clearly he hadn't told anyone how he had met Haku before.

The others in the room were chucking hearing the details of the mission that wasn't even on the report or was known to anyone but Haku and Naruto.

"Now then jiji," she turned to the old man, "I'm telling him of his heritage, now. To hell with the council they don't know and I know that it is much better if he knew the full story and not just part of it."

The Sandiame sighed, nodding his head. He saw the seriousness in her eyes that made him flinch knowing that even though Naruto's parents didn't want him to know until he was at least a chuunin.

"Naruto come here." She ordered him and he obeyed. "Sit, this is going to take a while, oh and you will all be learning the truth of that night all those years ago. This is important for the rest of you too, so pay attention because there are some things you don't know yet." He warily sat down next to her on the couch a bit curious to know who his parents where. She had looked to the others at the last part to see them nod their heads and turned back to Naruto.

"Now what exactly do you know about what happened 13 years ago."

"I know that I am the container of the Kyuubi and the Fourth Hokage died sealing the fox into me, I know that I am not the Kyuubi just it's jailer." Naru nodded her head.

"Well Naruto do you know why out of every child that was born that night you were the one chosen?" Shaking his head, she continued, "It's because of your blood, and who your parents were."

"Now the Uzumaki clan was known for their longevity, fuuninin, and kenjustu. They were destroyed during the Third Shinobi War, but a couple Uzumakis did survive and are scattered throughout the 5 Great Nations and let me tell you this right now there is only 3. You, a male older than both of you and a girl around you age. Now the Uzumaki were the only ones who could contain the Kyuubi's chakra in their bodies and not die after the biju is removed. The first was Mito, the first Hokage's wife, the second was Kushina your mother and you are the third container of the Kyuubi no Yoko."

"Your mother went into labor that day, she was at her weakest after giving birth to you and someone had taken the chance to attack at that moment, while the Yondaime was holding the seal together when he came and took you. He threatened them to release the Kyuubi, but the Yondaime rescued you and the masked man ripped the Kyuubi from its seal and was controlling it."

"Wait, how is that possible? The only person that was ever able to control the Kyuubi was Madara Uchiha." Shikaku looked to the young woman.

She looked at them while sitting herself right next to her counterpart and sighed, "And he is the only one. Madara Uchiha is still alive and is gathering all the jinjurikis to extract their biju and make them into the Jubi, which the Sixth Sage Path had made into the beasts to prevent the Jubi from ever reviving. Madara wants to rule the world and by that I mean he wants to destroy the very ground we stand on."

"How is it possible for him to be alive?" The Sandiame was the one who asked this time.

Sorrow entered her eyes and turned to Kakashi, "He was using something to keep him alive all this time but near the end of the Third Shinobi War, he found a body underneath a pile of rocks he transferred his soul into that body and repaired it. The body he is using is that of Obitio Uchiha and no it's not some kind of genjustu, Madara is using his body to take over the world."

Kakashi looked shocked at the new revelation that his dead teammate's body is being used like that. He wouldn't know what to do if he ever faced him.

Naru got off the couch and walked to Kakashi, she brought him into a hug and whispered into his ears "I know how painful it must be to know this, but you need to be strong. You can honor his memory by helping us to get the bastard out of his body to finally be put to rest."

Kakashi stiffened when he felt warm arms wrap around him, but relaxed a bit before nodding; he looked at her figure walking back to sit next to his student.

"Well, now continuing where I left off…"

"You were saying how the Kyuubi was under the control of Madara." Naruto answered.

"Thank you," ruffling his hair a bit, "The Yondaime was able to break the Kyuubi's control but by then he was too enraged to stop tearing through the village, that's when he took you, Naruto, to seal the Kyuubi into you. Now as the Yondaime he couldn't ask anyone else in the village to sacrifice their own child, if he couldn't sacrifice his own. He knew Kushina wouldn't make it if the biju was resealed in her again so he did the next best thing. He sealed the Kyuubi into his own child, your parents died protecting you. Kushina wouldn't sit back and rest after 20 hours of labor, she held the Kyuubi back while your dad sealed half of the chakra into you and the other half into himself and taking it into the Shinigami's stomach. They died protecting you when one of the Kyuubi's claws was about to impale you."

She looked at Naruto who was shocked at what she had just said.

"So you mean to tell me that, my father, the Yondiame, used me to seal the Kyuubi?" Naru nodded, Naruto looked to his sensei and his jiji who also confirmed it for him. Naruto felt betrayed that jiji and his sensei had kept it from him, but did that mean his parents didn't love. All different types of emotions were going through his mind making him not able to think straight.

Naru stood up in front of him, did the unexpected and slapped him, she glared straight into his eyes before opening her mouth.

"Now listen hear Uzumaki Naruto do not think for one second that our mother and father didn't love us. They loved us with all their hearts, their only regret is that they ever had was not seeing us grow up into who we are today. They are proud of who we've become and they will always be watching us no matter where they are."

Naruto's had begun to tear up before, she had dragged him into a hug and soothing him with words. The others took a moment of silence for their fallen friends that day, and waited for Naruto to calm down a bit.

Naru pulled back from the hug and sat next to Naruto in a one arm hug, "Now onto future events, the Chuunin Exams are coming up within the next month or so correct?"

"Yes, it will be begin in 2 months' time, actually." The Sandiame answered.

"Awesome, Kakashi-sensei, well my Kakashi had signed us up for the exams as well. That's when everything starts, during the second part of the exam a Snake came to visit my Uchiha-teme and gave a hickie. The damn pedophile, anyways Sasuke later defects from the village because of the Cursed Seal messing with his mind. Jiraiya and I were sent out a week after trying to retrieve him, to seek out Tsunade-baachan, to be the Godaime, soon after she did Jiraiya took me for 3 years to train. When we come back the Akatsuki make their move to restart collecting all of the jinjurikis, during those 3 years they had only captured the 2 tails, 4 through 6 and they had also had just attack Ichibi." She had a nostalgic look on her face.

"They had also killed Asuma, whom we will save this time and I will give you all the information about them. Oh and Jiji when I think it's time for a certain Weasel to come home and tell his little brother the truth, and tell him his friend can come too." All the older ninja were shocked at her words, the Sandiame especially because she had known the truth behind that day and the others were shocked that she had mentioned Itachi, the man who murdered his entire clan except his little brother.

"Now then I think that is enough for tonight. Naru we need a background for you." The Sandiame finally leaned back into chair. He had a tired expression that made him look older than what he already was.

Naru nodded opened up her coat she had on, inside they all saw different seals each for something different. Naru unsealed one that popped out some papers and gave them to the Old Man.

He looked through them seeing as they are all legit records of her birth along with rank of Jounin, a list of skills and where she has been the past 12 years, it also said that she was Naruto's older sister by 7 years and had been sent to another relative. She also had the other half of the Kyuubi sealed inside her.

Naru looked over to him and said, "The reason why I put on there that I had the other half sealed into me is a way to explain when I use his chakra. Oh and I'm also friends with him, and we are partners if it weren't for him I would have died a long time ago."

She turned to Naruto, "Naruto I'm going to be helping you train to actually fight the fox and gain his respect before befriending him. And shut up in there, you know this entire time you're grumbling isn't helping at all and once he wakes up sometime next week we will be having a talk." She said with some venom in her voice making the four grown men look at her as if she was crazy.

"Um, Naru who are you talking to?" Kakashi was hesitant since he knew no one was grumbling during the entire talk.

She turned to him with an annoyed expression, "His stupid, overgrown, furball has been complaining the entire time saying that he would never work with such pitiful, furless creatures." Pointing towards Naruto's seal.

"Yes, we can both hear him mentally since technically we are both the same yet totally different people. He just doesn't believe me yet, now I heard something about ramen earlier and I need a place to stay for the night before me and Naruto move into our parent's house tomorrow."

The Sandiame chuckled when he heard her say she wanted ramen and nodded. She disabled the seals and opened the door, she grabbed Naruto and Kakashi dragging them out of the room to her favorite ramen stand.

"Come on Kashi-sensei you're paying for my meal and don't worry I won't go more than 12 bowls the same with Naruto. I would cook but I'm too tired to cook something and I haven't had ramen in years." Ignoring the protests that came with it.

The other three men in the room, were thinking of the information she had given them, and had decided that was enough for the night and went home.

It was the first night that Naru felt safe that she was home, and the future wasn't as dark as it used to be.
