A/N – Hey guys back for chapter 4. I'd like to thanks all the people who left a review for me. I'll be replying to some:
ZirconK – Thanks for the three reviews. Naruto will not be all powerful but will be very, very strong once all of his powers awaken. Once he has mastered all his bloodlines and some other things that will happen he will be on the level of Madara and Hashirama, if not a bit more powerful, but that won't be for a long while yet.
Louis Romero – Thanks for the review. Yes Naruto will get the sealing chains however they will work similar to Gaara's sand, once he has released them they will have a mind of their own and try to protect Naruto.
Wondering Knight – Thanks for pointing that out for me, I used Google Translate and it said Kokoro means heart and mind.
Ryuujin96 – Yeah, I liked the White Tiger but the others will be appearing and will have a surprise to the story. The more Naruto uses his bloodline there will be more powers from his mind they will be used by Namikaze members that specialize in one area.
ZeroKaze – Yeah they are from the mythology of the four guardians of the compass that I got very interested in also thanks for the suggestion but Uzukaze was a loose take on Whirling Winds but mainly was combining the clans. However I may use that name for another OC I have planned.
Banjo the Fox – The Uzumaki seemed like dicks because they were worried about Kushina with her being the clan heir at the time so Naruto was a secondary worry. Also no Minato bashing as there has never been any evidence of him being a dick in any way, shape or form.
Also this will be the final chapter in the Pre-Academy Arc, the next arc will be the Academy and will be 2-3 chapters.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto/Naruto Shippuden.
Arc 1 – Pre-Academy:
Chapter 4 – Fate Changes:
Uzukaze Compound –
Stood in front of the family was a tall, well-built man. He was a crimson red high collared long coat which had the Uzukaze clan symbol on his right shoulder; there were twelve circles under it in a ring around his right bicep. His sleeves were rolled up and it was unzipped. Under this long coat was a black shirt which let him show for his chiselled body. His forearms and some of his hands were covered in black bandages. He was dark grey trousers and black sandals. On his lowers back, sticking out from either side were two wakizashi. One had a black handle while the second was red. Above them was a big scroll with the kanji for twelve on it.
He had dark red spiky hair, with black highlights. His eyes were emerald green. He also had an x-shaped scar on his left cheek. This was Nazo Uzukaze, second born to Sengo Uzukaze and Juree Uzukaze.
"Ah, Kushi nee-chan, you're looking well." Nazo said.
"Well I have my family full again." Kushina replied, with a smile as she looked down at Naruto who was slightly scared of the man in front of him from the aura he was giving off.
"I know that aura from somewhere but where?" Byakko said.
"Yeah same." Kurama added.
Hearing this Naruto looked up to Kushina and tugged her skirt, Kushina responded by going down to his level. "Kaa-chan, Byakko and Kurama recognize his aura and are curious. Who is he?"
"Naruto this is your Oji-san. He's my Otouto." Kushina said. "Why don't you go and ask him."
Naruto nodded hesitantly and walked over to her, seeing Naruto walking over Nazo smiled at the boy. "Well hello there. What's your name?"
"N-Naruto Uzu-Uzukaze, sir."
Nazo chuckled at this and ruffled the boy's hair. "So you're Kushi nee-chan's son. I'm Nazo Uzukaze. Just call me Nazo-Oji."
"Um ok, why does Byakko seem to recognize your aura, Nazo-Oji?"
Hearing this name caused Nazo's eyes to widen. "Who?"
"Byakko; the Seibu no Hogo-Sha."
"So it's started." Nazo thought. "Well Naruto-kun, that's probably because I am the summoner of the Odotai (Zodiac)."
"What?!" Byakko and Kurama roared in unison causing a headache for Naruto as he grabbed his head.
"How in the living hell did he get the summoning contract for them twelve? Only my siblings and I can summon them." Byakko asked.
"Um, Byakko wants to know how you got the summoning contract." Naruto asked.
"Now that would be telling my little Oi." Nazo replied with a smirk, causing Naruto to pout. "Don't worry I'll tell you when the time is right." He then looked at Minato. "So what type is he?"
"He has all of them but Telepathy mainly." Minato replied.
"So I was right." Nazo thought.
Hiruzen was watching this whole conversation but was confused about this man. "Who is this and why does he feel so strong?"
"This is my Otouto, Nazo Uzukaze, and the reason you feel his strength is because he is the strongest clan member from the Uzumaki side of the clan." Kushina answered.
This shocked Hiruzen, as that means this man is stronger than Kushina and then he noticed what she said. "Wait a minute; you said that he was the strongest from the Uzumaki side, who is the strongest from the Namikaze side?"
"Well Minato is the strongest from the Namikaze side. However Naruto will take the mantle from both Minato and I once he gains full control over both bloodlines." Nazo answered as he walked to the three with Naruto sitting on his left shoulder.
"Well I'm guessing Minato, but Naruto?"
"Yeah, with all three branches of the Namikaze's bloodline and the Uzumaki bloodline he will defiantly take the titles from both Minato and I."
"Yeah, I'm awesome." Naruto said happily, causing the four adults to chuckle
"Anyway Hiruzen, Nazo will be my second advisor. I want to both of you in my office 9am sharp tomorrow to discuss some of the things that have occurred in my absence." Minato said, to which Hiruzen nodded.
"Oh that reminds me, Minato an ambassador from Kumogakure (Village hidden in the Clouds) will be arriving tomorrow for a peace treaty." Hiruzen informed.
"Hmm, that's interesting." Minato said as he scratched his chin. "Anyway we can sort that out in the meeting tomorrow. Now Nazo, Kushina, Naruto and I are going to help the clan move in. I'll see you in the morning." Minato finishes as he shakes Hiruzen's hand and going into the compound with his family.
The Next Night –
The meeting with the Kumo ambassador went quite well as the peace treaty was signed, even with the shock the ambassador got seeing Minato as he was said to be dead. Minato even offered the ambassador a room in a hotel for the night as when the treaty was finalized it was quite late. The ambassador accepted.
Now Naruto was in his room reading a beginning Fuinjutsu scroll Kushina gave him. He had just finished reading about the workings of the Storage Seal and decided to take a break. He was going to read about the Explosive Seal then go to bed. So he walked over to his window and looked out across Konoha, from here he could see the Hokage Monument with the faces of the four Hokage; Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Minato Uzukaze, the Hokage Tower and the Uzukaze Compound.
As Naruto looked out at Konoha, he got a niggling feeling in the back of his head and looked to where he felt comfortable and saw a silhouette jumping from roof to roof with a large sack on its back. This caused alarm bells to go off in Naruto's head as he knew that the only ones that should be out at this time of night were the ANBU and they kept to the shadows.
He let his curiosity get the better of him and he ran out of his room, down the stairs and out of the house. He followed the niggling in his head and ran through the street of Konoha. He kept running until he came to a wooded area near the training grounds.
He saw in the clearing a black suit of clothing and an obi around their waist, completed by a mask knelling down looking in the brown sack they had been carrying the niggling feeling was getting worse for Naruto causing a slight headache when he saw the sack.
"Kit, I recognize the chakra signature coming from that bag." Kurama said.
"What? Someone is in there?" Naruto thought.
"Yes, it's the Hyuuga girl you hang around with." Kurama replied.
Hearing this Naruto's mind went blank as he was consumed in rage, someone was kidnapping Hinata, suddenly red chakra began to seeping out of his pores and cover him in a red translucent cloak; his facial features became more feral as his whisker marks became more prominent, his hair spiked up, his canines grew out his mouth and his eyes changed from blue to red with black slits. But the biggest change was the tails of charka swing around behind him.
"Kurama what are you doing!?" Byakko asked, frantically.
"I'm not doing anything, with him as our host he can draw on our power on his own without us interfering." Kurama replied in a sad tone. "But when he draws on my power his mind is consumed with rage when he can't control it. I may not be able to do something about it though but someone can."
Naruto let out a gut wrenching roar that made the figure turn around in fright as they felt the chakra and killing intent rolling of the source.
Uzukaze Compound -
Kushina and Minato were fast asleep when they heard the roar; they bolted to a seated position and looked at each other worryingly. "What was that?" Minato asked.
"Kushina, get your ass out of bed now!" Kurama roared in her head.
"What do you what?" She thought.
"That roar you just heard was Naruto using my other half's chakra with no control!"
This caused Kushina to gain a scared shitless expression as she jumped out of bed.
"Kushina, what's wrong?" Minato asked.
"That roar was Naru-kun using Kurama's charka with control. We have to hurry." Kushina quickly explained.
The same expression appeared on Minato's face as he jumped out of bed, they both ran out the compound and to the source of the chakra.
Clearing –
Naruto stalked his way over to the man as he was rooted in place. Then out of nowhere Naruto lunged forward and swung his charka covered hand across the man's chest leaving four deep wounds and a un-stunned kidnapper.
"You are kidnapping Hinata!" Naruto growled.
The man then laughed. "Who you mean the weakling of a Hyuuga in the sack, then yeah, she never stood a chance and after I kill you I will be home free with the Byakugan and I'll be heralded as a hero." The man said smugly.
Hearing this just angered Naruto more as another tail of charka began to manifest. "I'm gunna kill you."
"Kid, I'd like to see you try. The only reason you landed a hit on me last time was because I wasn't expecting anyone to interrupt." He said as he pulled out a kunai and ran straight for the Blonde haired kid, however before he reached the boy Naruto disappeared in a burst of speed and reappeared in front of the man with his tails shooting out in front of him and buried in the man's chest.
The man looked down in shock at the two tails in his chest and coughed up some blood and hitting Naruto's face. "H-how?"
"You underestimated my abilities."
With that the man just went limp and collapsed on Naruto as the cloak of chakra began to recede back into him. He pushed the man off and limped over to the sack. The chakra cloak had done a number on his young body and he was covered in burns and some bones were fractured.
When he made it to the sack he could hear slight whimpering coming from the bag. "I want me Kaa-san and Tou-san. Someone please help me." Hinata cried.
Naruto untied the knot in the top of the sack and opened it; he looked down at Hinata with a smile. "It's ok now Hinata-chan he's gone." Naruto said softly.
Hearing his voice and that the man was gone, Hinata jumped out of the bag and enveloped Naruto in a hug and cried into his shoulder. Even though he was in pain he let her cry.
"Naru-kun!"
Naruto turned his head to see his mother, father and uncle running up to the two.
"What happened?" Minato asked sternly.
"Well I was reading Fuinjutsu in my room when I decided to take a break and go to the window. I was looking out when I got a niggling in the back of my head; I turned my head to see him." He points to the dead man. "Jumping from roof to roof with a sack, I got curious so I followed the niggling feeling and lead me here where I saw the man tying the sack. They told me that Hinata-chan was in the sack. I can't remember anything after that except the man was dead and Hinata was hugging me." Naruto explained.
"The blood lust effect fogged his memory, its best if you don't tell him that it was him who killed the man." Kurama said.
"Well obviously I'm not going to tell my five year old sochi that he killed a man." Kushina thought.
Minato and Nazo walked over to the body and pulled off the mask and where surprised to see the Kumo ambassador. "Those bastards." Minato growled. "They think they can use a peace treaty signing as an opportunity to kidnap a five year old girl for her doujutsu, they have another thing coming. ANBU!" An ANBU guard appeared in front of the blonde Hokage. "Take this scums body to the T&I Division for now." He ordered, to which the ANBU replied with a nod and grabbed the body and disappeared.
Nazo then walked up to Minato. "Minato, Naruto's bloodline is awakened; he needs a teacher to control it." Nazo said.
Minato sighed. "I now I will talk to the clan's best telepath tomorrow and have them train him." He and Nazi walked up to Kushina, Naruto and Hinata, who had stopped crying. "Well we better you back to Hitomi and Hiashi, Hinata. I bet they are worried sick."
Hinata nodded and they all walked away from the sight towards the Hyuuga compound.
Hyuuga Compound –
The Hyuuga compound was in chaos as Hiashi and Hitomi were getting everyone out looking for Hinata. The two were stood in front of the gate looking down the roads leading to the compound. Hitomi had tears in her eyes, in case she returned. Even Hizashi and Hisami were out with Neji looking for her.
"Where is she Hiashi?" Hitomi sobbed.
"I don't know Hitomi but we'll find her and bring her home." Hiashi consoled.
A Hyuuga appeared in front of the two. "I'm sorry Hiashi-sama we can't find her anywhere." He said in a sad tone.
This caused the pregnant Hitomi to break down in tears and latch on to her husband.
"Kaa-san! Tou-san!"
Hitomi and Hiashi turned their heads to the road to see Hinata running towards them. Hitomi let go of her husband and ran to hug her daughter.
"Oh Kami Hinata are you ok?"
"I'm fine now. I was saved by Naruto-kun." Hearing this Hitomi looked up to see Naruto, Kushina, Minato and Nazo walking towards them. "He beat the man up and helped me."
"Wow that is very impressive Naruto-san." Hiashi commented.
"Thank you, I don't remember what happened."
"Well the Hyuuga is forever in your debt Naruto-san. Thank you."
"It's no trouble Hinata is my best friend I would do anything for her."
"T-Thank y-you Naru-Naruto-kun." Hinata said.
"It's ok Hinata." Naruto said as he walked up to her and hugged her.
"Well Hiashi, Hitomi come over tomorrow and I'll inform you of all the details. Bring Hinata along for a play-date." Minato said with a smile.
"We will Minato and thank you again Naruto." Hitomi said as they took their daughter back home.
Three Years Later –
A now 8 year old Naruto was stood at the gates of the academy alongside a seven year old Hinata.
It had been a pretty uneventful 3 years in Konoha. There were a few; Hitomi had given birth to another daughter, Hanabi, there were complications with the birth that would have caused the death of Hitomi if not for Kushina and the Uzukaze. Kushina used her knowledge of seals and medical ninjutsu to counteract the complications.
Another was the repercussions of the Kumo ambassador's failed kidnap attempt apparently he was acting on order of some members of the Kumo council who wanted the Byakugan to counter the Hyuuga. A, the Sandaime Raikage, ordered their immediate execution for disrupting a peace treaty he himself wanted. Minato, Hiashi and Hitomi agreed this to be an acceptable form of compensation. However Hiashi and Hitomi still wanted Hinata to be safe so they asked Hizashi, Hisami and Neji if he wouldn't mind being Hinata's bodyguard, to which they agreed to.
Finally was the event Naruto gained control over the first level of his Namikaze bloodline; the niggling feeling, he can tell who is it is about, he is aware of it at all times and had increased the range to 250 metres all around him. The downside of this level is he doesn't know if they are in trouble or the one causing the trouble. He also has access to the second level as rarely when he comes in direct contact with someone he can read the thought in their head at that moment; however it is about a 1 in 500 chance.
He can use the Uzumaki bloodline and can create two chains for 10 minutes. This bloodline relies on how much chakra he has, which is a ton, his control over it, which is very bad, but he's young and has years to learn.
Naruto grabbed Hinata's hand. "Come on Hinata-chan let's go."
"Hai Naruto-kun." Hinata said with a smile.
Naruto just smiled and walked in with her. They walked down the corridor until they came to Room 23. "Here we are." Naruto said as he slid the door open to see his fellow classmates; including Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, Kiba, Sasuke, Sakura and Shino.
He looked around as saw to seats at the top and walked towards them, pulling Hinata along. The sat down and waited for class to start. After five minutes two men walked in, both wearing chunin uniforms; one had fair skin, black hair that was in a ponytail, dark eyes and a scar that runs across the bridge of his nose the other has fair skin, white shoulder-length hair with a slight hint of blue to it and green eyes.
"Hello class and welcome to Konoha Nin Academy, you will be here for four years after which you will become genin of Konoha. I am Iruka and this is Mizuki you may call us Iruka-sensei and Mizuki-sensei. Now let's get some names." The now named Iruka said.
