Chapter 10: Shinobi title is not necessary
A/N: Thanks to all who favorite, follow and reviewed.
They reached the academy at 8.30 that meant Naruto was half an hour late. They entered the classroom in which Iruka was teaching the students. He noticed the couple and looked towards them. Iruka's face became a shade of pink.
''A...A...Anko, w...what...you...I...mean-'' Anko cut him off ''What...say clearly what you want to say'' Anko said annoyed.
The fact was Anko had forgotten to tie her hair up. Her hair was down and they were a little wet and they were lengthy to her upper back. Some of her purple streaks were backside and some streaks were on her shoulders and down to her breasts and some were on her face. So she was looking totally stunning. That's why not only Iruka but even all students had pink faces. Be it a boy or girl.
Iruka composed himself. ''What…what are you doing here Anko'' he looked at Naruto ''And Naruto where were you. Were you bunking classes again'' Iruka said.
Before Naruto could reply anything Anko spoke up ''He was with me. We were catching up to lost time…. and I am here to tell you that he will only come to the academy for two days in a week'' Anko stated to Iruka.
Iruka narrowed his eyes slightly ''Where would he be remaining time'' Iruka asked.
''He will be with me. I am going to train him'' Anko said.
''Anko, you know that two days is not enough to stay rooted in the academy. And it's also needed to get graduate, to be a gennin'' Iruka said.
''Well he will be absent from academy but not from the reports and documents and you will make it happen'' Anko said pointing a finger to Iruka.
''What, are you an idiot. This is wrong'' Iruka said losing his cool.
Anko raised an eyebrow ''What, you can't do that much for Naruto'' Anko said.
The words got stuck in Iruka's throat. His bangs foreshadowed his eyes. This was way too much for Iruka to do. It was wrong completely. Iruka had never done something like that before and now for Naruto... He just got on good terms with him and now he was going be on bad terms with him again because Iruka was a prideful person about his teachings and academy. So he said what he didn't want to say.
''Sorry Naruto, I can't do that'' Iruka said almost whispered but loud enough for Naruto and Anko to here.
Anko was a little surprised. She knew it that he never compromised with his principles but what now. It was impossible for Naruto to get strong if he comes to academy because half of the day would waste in academy.
Naruto noticed that Anko was in deep thought. He tugged on Anko's top to get her attention. Anko looked at Naruto and raised an eyebrow.
''I want to talk to you for a bit...outside'' Naruto said and Anko nodded her head. They went out.
''Anko-chan what should we do. Iruka-sensei isn't complying'' Naruto asked worriedly.
''Naruto, you are a Jinchuuriki. Whether you go to academy or not, there's a chance that hokage will promote you to a genin if you are strong enough but still I can't say for sure what would he do'' Ano said.
''So anything is possible'' Naruto asked.
''Yeah'' Anko said.
Naruto's head slumped down. Then he suddenly lifted his head and smirked widely which made Anko confused.
''What'' she asked.
''Anko-chan, putting the fact that hokage will promote me aside what might happen'' Naruto asked.
''Well you won't get to graduate and become a genin'' Anko said.
''But you will still train me, right'' Naruto said.
''Yeah but where are you getting at'' Anko asked confusedly.
Naruto signaled Anko to lean down her head which she did. Naruto then whispered in her ear. ''Aren't we going to flee from Konoha, so it doesn't matter if I am a Konoha genin or not'' Naruto said whispering.
Anko looked at him. She wrapped her arms around him ''Are you sure. You will lose your chance to graduate and be a genin and shinobi'' Anko asked.
Naruto patted Anko lightly on the back. ''Anko-chan I only want power to protect you from any harm and to finish my challenge and to fight whoever comes in my way and I don't think a shinobi title is necessary for that" Naruto said and Anko hugged him tighter. Anko got emotional from Naruto's words.
"I love you'' she said.
Naruto smiled ''I love you too'' Naruto said.
''Okay let's go'' Anko said and they went to Iruka again.
''So what did you decide'' Iruka asked.
''Well he will come to academy daily'' Anko said which made Naruto look at her in shock. Anko winked at him then he relaxed.
''That's good'' Iruka said and looked at Naruto ''Now go to your seat'' Iruka said to Naruto.
Naruto nodded, he turned to Anko and ushered her to lean down, she did and Naruto gave a kiss on her cheek and as he turned to go to his seat he noticed that everyone was looking at Anko.
''What, why are you staring like that'' Naruto asked narrowing his eyes.
Everyone had a pink color dusting their cheeks and even the cold Sasuke.
''A...angel'' someone said from the class, which made Naruto annoyed.
''Hey Naruto who is that beautiful girl'' Ino asked pink on her cheeks.
''Mitarashi-san you are looking pretty today'' Hinata said.
Anko was confused first but when she realized she smiled "Oh, thanks HInata".
Sakura looked at Sasuke who was looking at Anko, which made her enraged from the fact that Sasuke was looking at Anko like that. 'He never looked at me like that. That whore stealing my Sasuke-kun from me' she enraged and stood up and screeched, ''Who the hell are you whore''.
As the words came out from her mouth, Naruto jumped at her to kill but Anko stopped him by putting a hand on his shoulder.
Naruto looked at Anko with rage in his eyes. Anko shook her head and signaled him to look at Sakura. Naruto stopped reluctantly and looked at Sakura.
Everyone heard a sound of Hard slap and everyone was shocked to see the person who slapped Sakura.
''Hi...Hinata'' Ino mumbled and following her every one mumbled Hinata's name. Naruto was surprised too.
''Don't...don't you ever say anything like that to Mitarashi-san'' Hinata said ready to rip Sakura's throat out. Hinata brought her face closer to Sakura's and whispered, ''Otherwise I will kill you''.
Everyone was wide eyed and stunned that it was Hinata who did and said that. Some of them even rubbed their eyes to wake up from the dream but it was no dream. It was real Hinata.
''See I knew she would do something like that that's why I stopped you otherwise in rage you would have done something regrettable'' Anko said to Naruto.
''Thank you and sorry'' Naruto said hanging his head down.
''Don't worry about it but you should try to stay calm in every situation, you should get angry when it is unbearable" Anko said.
''Hinata is right, what the hell gotten into you. Did she say anything wrong about you so you are being so hyper, '' It was Tenten who said it.
Everyone was surprised again.
''But Naruto who is the sexy chick'' kiba said and just a moment after he passed out due to the killing intent Naruto and Anko emitted towards him. Now the students face changed from blushing to a fearful.
''Anyone else would like to say something'' Naruto said looking at the class.
Sasuke stood up, Naruto and Anko narrowed their eyes. Sasuke looked at Anko.
''Whoever you are, He isn't worthy of you. Leave him and join me almighty Uchiha Sasuke. I am more worthy of you because I am an Uchiha heir and last Uchiha male in Konoha. Marry me and help me rebuild my clan by bearing my children. Dedicate yourself to me and you will be more satisfied with me then with him. I am sure he won't be able to satisfy your beautiful body and give you pleasure. But I will keep you pleasured and I promise that you will have more authority among all my wives'' He continued his boasting he left his seat and came in front.
"Sasuke don't cross the line and don't do anything which you would regret later" Shikamaru said but Sasuke ignored him. Sasuke was in front of Naruto and Anko.
"Oh…now I have a closer look at you… I see you are that girl Anko Mitarashi whom everyone calls snake whore and slut" Sasuke said and he was so lost in his arrogance that he didn't notice the killing intent Naruto was radiating. His fists were clenched, so tightly that his knuckles were white and his nails were digging in his palm drawing blood but Sasuke continued his rant.
"Are you really that girl? Well looks can be deceiving, now I know that. Now if you come to me, your position in Uchiha clan will be only to satisfy my se-" He couldn't finish and found himself hit with a mountain like punch sent him hurdling through all the seats and got stuck in the wall making a small portion of wall crack.
Naruto and Anko's bangs were foreshadowing their eyes.
''Naruto, I won't stop you this time,'' Anko said.
Naruto did not say anything to her, he started to move towards Sasuke and when he reached near him he stopped.
Sasuke was groaning in pain. Naruto grabbed Sasuke's hairs which made Sasuke look at Naruto. Naruto looked at Sasuke and Sasuke just pissed his pants from the looks in Naruto's eyes and the force of sheer killing intent Naruto was radiating. Sasuke saw a nine tailed fox with death in his red eyes and large fangs in its mouth. They were reddish in color. Inside his mind, Naruto was trying to control himself.
Naruto pulled Sasuke's hair sideways which made Sasuke wince in pain. Naruto then punched him in the gut. Which made Sasuke threw saliva. Naruto punched him again in the same place; his stomach, this time Sasuke spit blood.
''What the hell are you doing you monster'' Sakura screeched again though she didn't like what Sasuke said earlier but still she 'loved' him. This time Tenten slapped her hard ''You dumb bitch shut your mouth'' Tenten said.
Naruto didn't stop punching Sasuke. He punched Sasuke fifth time. Sasuke was on the verge of passing out. Blood mixed with saliva was flowing down from his mouth. His eyes were red from tears from pain in his stomach.
''Naruto stop'' Iruka yelled but Naruto didn't heed his words and didn't stop.
''Naruto stop or I will suspend you from academy permanently'' Iruka yelled again but Naruto continued. The awful smell of Sasuke's piss was spreading in the class. Everyone covered their noses. Everyone was surprised at Naruto's strength. He was beating Sasuke to piss and Sasuke wasn't even lifting a finger. Was he always so weak?
After 8th punch in Sasuke's gut, next Naruto punched Sasuke's face. Blood gushed out from Sasuke's nose. Naruto punched Sasuke again in the face. Blood was gushing out from Sasuke's mouth, nose and head. Tenten and Hinata were holding Sakura so that she couldn't intervene.
Ino was conflicted between 'stop him or not' after all Sasuke was her ex crush in the past.
''Anko stop Naruto right now otherwise there will be dire consequences'' Iruka shouted to Anko but Anko just ignored Iruka. She was just standing there. Her bangs were still foreshadowing her eyes.
Ino came to Anko. ''Umm...don't you think Naruto has beaten him enough '' Ino said. Anko didn't say anything. She really at that time didn't care if Sasuke died. She did not even acknowledge Ino's presence let alone her words.
Sasuke had gone into an unconscious state a several minutes before. Naruto was punching the limp body in his hands held by Sasuke's hair.
Everyone was getting worried now. Hinata and Tenten were also worrying. They all never saw Naruto like that.
Anko felt someone put a hand on her shoulder. ''Anko it's enough. If Sasuke died, you and Naruto will be in big mess and you are the only one who can stop him without using force'' Yugao said to Anko. Yugao was still keeping tabs on both of them.
Anko ignored even Yugao's presence. "Anko" Yugao said a little louder, trying to get her attention again. Anko sighed and went to Naruto.
Winds started to gather around his fists and coated them in white, Naruto was about to punch Sasuke umpteenth time but someone stopped it. Then the person hugged him from behind.
It was Anko. She brought her mouth closer to his ear ''That's enough my little Naruto'' Anko whispered. Naruto threw Sasuke's body to the side like a ragdoll, ''let's go'' Anko said kissing his whisker cheek.
Anko's touch was enough for him to calm down. He calmed down and looked at Anko who was smiling at him. He nodded and started to move to the exit of the class.
Everyone was surprised from the display of affection from Anko and Naruto and how easily Naruto complied with Anko's words. As both reached the door of the class Naruto stopped and turned to the occupants of class.
''You all wanted to know who she is, right'' Naruto asked and they all nodded in fear.
Naruto smirked widely, ''Well she is the queen of Uzumaki clan Empire,'' Naruto said and everyone's eyes widened.
Iruka's eyes were saucers and he started to sweat. 'How did Naruto come to know that there was an Uzumaki clan? I will have to talk to hokage-sama right now' Iruka thought. Even Anko had a surprise look about what Naruto just said.
''U...Uzumaki clan'' Ino mumbled loudly under her breath. And everyone followed her. Naruto's smirk widened to the limit of a crazy one.
''Yeah, Uzumaki clan'' Naruto said in a deep voice. He looked at Iruka.
''Right Iruka-sensei, now I have to know why you all hide it from me and you are not the suitable one to ask, Hokage would be'' Naruto said to Iruka who was standing frozen with wide eyes.
The crazy smirk then disappeared from Naruto's face. He grasped Anko's hand and looked at her and smiled. ''Let's go Anko-chan'' Naruto said.
Anko who was still trying to understand what he was doing just said ''O...Okay''. They then exited the academy.
''What was that?'' Anko asked to Naruto.
Naruto sighed. ''I told them that I am from a clan. I am not some clan less'' Naruto said looking to the side.
''I am not talking about that'' Anko said.
''Then what are you talking about'' Naruto asked confuse that what else he said.
Anko leaned down to his eyelevel.
''I am talking about 'the queen of Uzumaki clan Empire'. I understood it a little but explain '' Anko said and in the last sentence she blushed a little. A pink hue appeared on Naruto's cheeks too.
''Well we are going to flee from Konoha and wherever will we go, I will establish an Empire, a kingdom and I will be the king of the Kingdome and you will be the queen'' Naruto explained to her.
The color on Anko's cheek deepened but it disappeared after a moment. She stood straight crossing her arms on her chest, and looked at the sky.
Naruto looked at her. ''Anko-chan what happened. You didn't like my idea. If you don't like it then I will cancel this idea'' Naruto said a little sad that Anko didn't like the idea. Anko noticed his sad expression and she smiled and put a hand on his head. He looked up.
''Naruto it's not like I didn't like the idea. I would like it being a queen and treated like one but It is just almost impossible what you have planned'' Anko said with a cheerless smile on her face.
But Naruto smiled broadly now. ''Anko-chan there's nothing impossible in this world and everything is impossible in this world. We just need to be positive and courageous enough to do what we want'' Naruto said and hearing him Anko was surprised again from his talks. She smiled and ruffled his hairs.
''And I can do anything if you are with me'' Naruto said while he brought her hand upwards and kissed the back of her hand.
Anko was having problems now. She thought she was having a dream. Naruto was being romantic but the thing is where he learned all this. He was angry earlier and now he was being all romantic.
''What is it Anko-chan'' Naruto said and yanked on her hand downward to bring Anko's face downward and as her face came closer, he put his lips on her and closed his eyes. Anko was wide eyes but she too closed her eyes to relish in the moment. The kiss was simple but they could feel each other's emotions from that. Naruto then pulled back first and looked at Anko who was blushing and her eyes were still closed. Naruto blew on her face and Anko stepped back and opened her eyes.
She looked at Naruto but before she could say anything Naruto spoke up ''Anko-chan, I think you are late fifteen minutes''.
''Huh" she was still in daze from the kiss and his way of behaving for one moment and then, "OH SHIT'' Anko yelled.
''Okay I will leave you at the apartment,'' Anko said.
''No, not the apartment because I have read all the books and there's nothing at the apartment to do. Why don't you leave me at our usual training ground'' Naruto said.
''Okay'' Anko said and grabbing Naruto she shun shined to the forest of death.
''Okay we are here. Train hard okay'' Anko said and Naruto nodded.
''We have to talk to Hokage, remember and I think Iruka-sensei would have already told Hokage'' Naruto reminded her.
''Yeah, I remember. Don't worry in evening we will go to him. I will come here in lunch and at 5 o'clock'' Anko said then vanished to her work.
''Okay so let's start with the sparing'' Naruto said to himself and made four clones then he thought to practice chakra training and jutsu training too so he made fifty more clones and divided them for chakra control practices, wind chakra practices, and making his armor more thick and transparent and ordered some of them to practice in making the wind sword perfectly.
They all got to their assigned jobs and the original then faced his other four clones.
''Come on, come at me with intent to kill'' Naruto said and the clones lunged at him.
Clone 1 threw a punch at Naruto's face. Naruto slanted his head to the side to dodge the punch and grabbed the wrist of clone 1. Then he ducked under the round kick of the clone 2 and punched clone 1 in the stomach and sent him soaring towards the clone 3 which made both of them fall and skidding back several feet.
Just After millisecond of punching the clone 1 Naruto back flipped to avoid being hit by the roundhouse kick of clone4.
Clone 4 came at Naruto again and threw a punch but Naruto parried the punch of clone 4 to the right using his left hand. Then Naruto punched the clone 1 full force in the face which was coming flying at him and the clone dispelled. The clone 2 kicked Naruto in the back which sent him flying but before he could land clone 3 was above Naruto. They both were in the air. Clone 3 brought his leg down full force in Naruto's stomach. Naruto gasped for air in his lungs. The kicks send Naruto downward to the ground so fast that when he hit the ground it left a crater. Clone 4 then jumped and tried to stomp land on Naruto's head but Naruto rolled to the side to dodge the clones stomp.
Naruto then with the help of his hand flipped upwards and again dodged the kick of clone 2. Clone 4 came running at Naruto. He threw a punch at Naruto who again slanted his head to the side and grabbed the clone's hand and threw clone 4 to clone 3. Clone 3 dodged to the left and continue his way to Naruto. Clone 3 then rained punches at Naruto at blinding speeds. Naruto was able to parry and dodge them. While being assaulted by clone 3, Naruto sensed Clone 2 behind him and with the perfect timing he ducked downward. Clone 2's Kick and clone 3's punches connected to each other and they both dispelled. Naruto then was punched to the head by Clone 4 which made him fall so hard his head started to spin. Naruto stood up on wobbling legs due to his mind spinning from the punch.
Clone 4 then punched Naruto in the back and sent him crashing into a tree. Blood trickled down to Naruto nose, head, and mouth.
Clone 4 stopped for a moment and said ''Boss are you okay, shall I stop".
''N...No, Don't stop. I want to feel it and I am feeling it, the adrenaline, and the rush in my veins. Come'' Naruto said his eyes hazy from the pain in his head, stomach and back.
The clone 4 rushed towards Naruto again. Naruto closed his eyes and let loose his sense of hearing. He could hear the steps of clone 4 running towards him.
As the clone 4 threw a straight kick to Naruto's chest, Naruto ducked and grabbing the clones leg, despite the pain in his back and stomach he swing the clone in the air and brought him down to the ground full force. The last clone dispelled.
The whole sparring took one hour.
Naruto fell down to his knees then on his stomach. He kept lying for a while. Then when the pain lessened from kyuubi's healing he stood up clutching his stomach.
''W...well damn it, I didn't know my own clones will hit so hard. However, I was the one who asked for it'' He said walking limply towards the lake.
He washed his face and stood up then went to his clones.
He observed that the clones that were practicing the sword were having difficulty. Chakra control exercises were going well. Clones were trying to lift pebbles and stones in the air without touching it. However, they were still unsuccessful.
This exercise included the chakra control and wind chakra practice so both were being practiced at the same time.
''Don't give up guys. Keep doing it'' Naruto encouraged his clones.
''Okay, you can take rest at one or two hour's interval. I am going for a little jogging'' He said and clones nodded.
Naruto then exited the forest of death.
Naruto then started to run around konoha, it took him half hour to complete one round. He then rested for five minutes under a tree. While he was resting he made a clone.
''You, go to Anko-chan and said her to bring some sealing books with her when she returns'' Naruto said and clone went.
Naruto then made another clone and send him to bring ramen for him.
Naruto then started running again. He wanted to get faster as soon as possible so he decided to give it his all every time. This time it took him Twenty five minutes, three minutes less. He rested again for ten minutes then again ran. This time he completed it in Twenty minutes but he didn't have any energy left for next round. He fell down and fell unconscious under the tree.
Naruto woke and saw that his clone was waking him up. He had five bowls of ramen holding. Naruto sat up immediately and gobbled down all five bowls. He then fell asleep again.
He woke up after a while and saw a silver haired man with a blue mask on his face and one eye was covered by his hitai-ate, was staring at him. Naruto tried to sit up, his body was all sore. His legs were numb, his body was also numb but he managed to sit up.
''Who are you'' Naruto said pointing a finger at Kakashi.
Kakashi smiled under his mask and said, ''I know you but you don't know me''.
''That's why I am asking you, who are you'' Naruto said.
''Well, for starters my name is Hatake Kakashi and I am a jounin of Konoha'' Kakashi introduced himself.
'' Okay, my name is Uzumaki Naruto and I can see that you are a jounin from your dress and headband'' Naruto said. Kakashi stretched his hand out for a handshake but Naruto ignored it. After some time Kakashi retained his hand back.
''So Hatake-san, what do you want from me'' Naruto asked with suspiciousness.
Kakashi rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
''Well I was just passing by and I saw you sleeping here so I came here out of curiosity. So why were you sleeping here'' Kakashi asked.
Kakashi was telling the truth. He was just passing by and he caught the sight of a sleeping Naruto. Then he thought it was a good chance for him to talk to Naruto and create a bond which he should have till now and he was ready to make up for the lost time but was Naruto ready.
''And don't call me Hatake-san. Just call me Kakashi-senpai or simple Kakashi'' Kakashi said.
''Okay Kakashi-san, I was resting here after training'' Naruto said.
''Training, what kind of training'' Kakashi asked.
''Just some running, nothing special'' Naruto told him.
''What else were you doing besides running? And if you need some help with anything I can help'' Kakashi said offering his help. He thought that if Naruto needs a teacher he will be his teacher and will teach him and it will also help him to come close to Naruto.
Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly. He was being skeptic now. Why was the person in front of him taking interest in him? He never saw Kakashi before then why he came now out of nowhere. And wait.. he said he knows me.
''Kakashi-san, you came out of nowhere and started to converse with me. I never saw you before but you have known me for who knows how long. Now you pop out of nowhere and if I am guessing right, you are trying to befriend with me and for that you even are offering me your help, so if you don't mind, can you tell me, why? Why are you offering me you help'' Naruto said with a little hint of annoyance.
Kakashi was speechless from Naruto's questions. He never thought that Naruto could be this smart. He was shocked that Naruto deduced all that.
'Now what should I do. Should I tell him that his parents asked me to look out for him and his father even said that I am like a big brother to him? No if I tell him he will outright start to hate me' kakashi was interrupt from his thoughts by Naruto ''What are you thinking. Is it that hard to tell or is it something that you can't tell me'' Naruto said looking other way.
''Er...Hehehe...'' Kakashi again was interrupted by Naruto ''I don't have time so are you going to tell me or not'' Naruto said getting annoyed by Kakashi's antics.
Kakashi sighed, ''Naruto I was the student of yondaime-'' He got cut by Naruto whose eyes were wide from the information. Kakashi didn't know that Naruto knows about his parents.
''Y...You were student of y...yondaime'' Naruto voiced out.
''Yeah...and when he died he asked me to look out for you'' Kakashi said looking down. Naruto didn't say anything, he looked at the sky.
''There are dark clouds in the sky. It might rain today, do you think it might rain'' Naruto said.
''Y...Yeah...'' Kakashi said lowly and he was befuddled from Naruto's response.
''But I don't think so'' Naruto said.
''Huh'' Kakashi said.
Naruto stood up. ''Hmmm...Well I think I should go now. I have wasted enough time already'' Naruto said and started to move.
''Naruto, listen to me'' Kakashi said.
''Listen kakashi-san, I don't have time for you like you didn't have for me. I don't need you …no, I don't need anyone now'' Naruto said getting angry now.
"Naruto give me a chance" Kakashi said pleading.
"Hatake-san you have many chances till now, not anymore" Naruto said while walking away.
"Naruto no one can live alone for their whole life. You will need someone, your friends and comrades'' Kakashi said.
Naruto turned to kakashi, anger visible on his face.
''Kakashi-san, didn't you hear me. I said I don't need anyone and the one who I need is with me'' Naruto said and again turned to walk away.
''And who is that person'' Kakashi asked taken aback from his reply.
''Well I don't need to tell you but I will tell you. That person's name is Anko...Anko Mitarashi'' Naruto said and walked away.
Kakashi stood there pondering the words Naruto said.
'Anko, so Anko is living with him. Why is she living with him? I thought she was just acquainted with him. And after returning from the trip she is living with Naruto. After what happened with her I thought she would keep her distance from everyone but she...with this boy. No I don't trust her' Kakashi thought and then chuckled, and then he smirked evilly.
''I need to see Hokage-sama'' he said to himself and shun shined to hokage.
''So kakashi what brought you here. I didn't call for you'' Hokage asked Kakashi not even sparing a glance to him.
''It's about Naruto...and Anko'' Kakashi said.
Hokage stilled and stopped his paperwork and looked at Kakashi. Hiruzen wore a serious expression.
''What about Naruto and Anko'' Hiruzen asked.
''They are living together'' Kakashi said.
''I know that from the start'' Hiruzen said getting to his paperwork again.
''Hokage-sama, you didn't understand. I mean Naruto is still a kid and you know how Anko is. She might take advantage of him and the chances of Anko taking advantage of Naruto increases more now that she is cursed'' Kakashi said.
''What kind of advantage are you talking about'' Hiruzen asked putting his pen down and looking at Kakashi again.
''Umm...er...well I mean like s...sexual advantage'' Kakashi said.
Hokage chuckled. ''Really, Kakashi I don't think so. And Yugao is keeping an eye on Anko and she hasn't reported anything like that. You don't need to worry'' Hiruzen said and again got to his work.
As kakashi was about to go Hiruzen stopped him.
''Something serious has happened Kakshi'' Hiruzen said looking in the eye of Kakashi.
''W...what happened'' Kakashi asked nervously.
'' Naruto knows that there was a clan...Uzumaki clan'' Hiruzen said leaning back into his chair.
As Kakashi heard it his eyes widened. ''WH...What, how did it happened'' he asked.
''I don't know but Iruka came to me this morning and told me about it'' Hiruzen said and then told him everything that happened in the academy in the morning.
''Sasuke said something about Anko and Naruto got mad and beat him to piss. We had to admit him to the hospital'' Hiruzen said.
Kakashi sat down on the chair.
''We don't know how much he knows but it's not good. And I am unable to comprehend the fact that where and how he came across this secret'' Hiruzen said getting off the chair.
''Did you confront Naruto about it'' Kakashi asked.
''No, not yet'' Hiruzen said.
''Well I think that's the only way to know'' Kakashi said.
"I know I was thinking about how to confront Naruto on this matter. But anyways I am sending Anbu to call him'' Hiruzen said and send one Anbu to bring Naruto in the office.
Naruto after his 'chat' with Kakashi went to the forest of death where his clones were training. There were four clones left. Two were working on the sword and two for lifting the stone. Those four were also on the verge of disappearing. And then after a minute they also vanished.
Now all of his clone's experience came to him and he tried to make the sword. He stretched his hand outwards and gathered the wind in his palm. The sword that he created now was increased in length just by an inch. He sighed, it needed more practice.
He then tried to lift stone using the wind. The stone moved and wiggled on its place but didn't lift. Ah, it also needed more practice.
Suddenly he felt two arms wrapped around him from behind. He leaned back in the embrace of the person and closed his eyes.
''How you are so early Anko-chan'' Nauto asked.
''Well it happened like this; one snake I put here on guarding was disappeared and I sensed it so I came rushing and saw that an anbu was facing my other three snakes.
I then asked him what the problem was and he told me that Hokage-sama has called you right now. So I guess he got the news that we knows and he will ask how we know. So we have to go and see for ourselves'' Anko said while nuzzling his cheek.
''We will need that book then'' Naruto asked.
''Yeah, send a clone to grab it'' Anko said and Naruto did and they started to move.
''Naruto don't talk until I say so. I will talk first but if you feel that there's no harm in answering the questions then you can do it, alright'' Anko said and Naruto nodded.
"'Now' is the time to show your little smartness'' Anko said and Naruto nodded again. Then they vanished and appeared in front of the hokage building.
''so ready to go in" Anko asked putting a hand on his head.
''Yeah, I am ready'' Naruto said and they entered the hokage building. And after some seconds they were in front of Hokage.
Naruto and Anko both was a little surprised to see Kakashi there.
''Ah Naruto you are here but I didn't call for Anko'' Hiruzen said looking at Anko.
''I called her'' Naruto said.
''Oh...then its okay then, I guess'' Hiruzen said a little nervously.
''So why did you call me'' Naruto asked.
''Well I called you regarding today's morning incident'' Hiruzen said.
Hiruzen wanted to ask Naruto directly but it was needed to be careful. He needed to know where Naruto found the information about the clan.
''So what about it'' Naruto asked.
''Iruka told me. He said that you mentioned Uzumaki clan so I wanted to know where did you find that Uzumaki is a clan'' Hiruzen asked with a serious look on his face. The eagerness to know about the fact could be seen on his face. But he was trying to hide it.
Naruto was staring at him for almost a minute now.
''Well does it really matter where I found it. The fact is I am not the only Uzumaki. I am not alone. I had a clan. But shouldn't you be happy about it'' Naruto said.
''Umm...I…I am happy you know'' Hiruzen stuttered out.
Naruto chuckled, ''Your face is saying something else'' Naruto said.
Hokage rubbed his temple and said, ''So where did you find about Uzumaki clan''.
Naruto narrowed his eyes. Hokage was really clever.
"Why should I tell you where I found this 'secret' which I have more rights to know about and still you all hide it from me" Naruto said scowling.
"Naruto It was for your own sake that I didn't tell you" hokage said but Naruto could smell the lie. He chuckled.
''Hokage-sama lets make a deal'' Naruto said narrowing his eyes.
''You are talking to Hokage-sama. Show some respect otherwise we will have to force you to tell'' Kakashi said louder and standing up.
''Kakashi, shut your mouth or I will make it shut and -'' a dangerous glint appeared in Anko eyes ''I dare you to force Naruto'' Anko said in Naruto's Defense.
Hiruzen signaled Kakashi to be silent. Naruto looked at Kakashi and shook his head disgustingly in annoyance.
''What deal'' Hiruzen asked.
''I will tell you what you want to know but I will ask only one question'' Naruto said.
''What question'' Hiruzen asked.
''I want you to tell me everything related to my parents and why I am the only one who was unaware of my parents'' Naruto asked.
''Y...your parents'' Hiruzen stuttered.
''Yeah and to make it easy for you I know who Kushina Uzumaki and yondaime were'' Naruto said in deathly serious voice.
Hiruzen and Kakashi froze on their places with wide eyes. How the hell he knows about them, both the Hokage and copy ninja thought.
Hokage nervously fidgeted in his seat. Sweat dripping on his face.
''Tell me right now and I want the truth'' Naruto said loudly losing his patience.
Anko was smirking widely. 'You are going very well my little Naruto' Anko thought and she was happy to see those looks on Hokage and Kakashi's face.
Then Hiruzen composed himself and said ''Naruto there isn't anything to tell you beside their names and the fact that they loved you and there's a house they used to live and why we didn't tell you because you were little and your father was very powerful ninja and he had enemies outside the village who could harm you, so to keep you safe we didn't tell you, that's all there is'' Hiruzen said and looked at Naruto but when Naruto didn't make any motion Hiruzen sighed.
"Details" Hokage heard Naruto saying. Hiruzen rubbed his forehead.
"I have told you about your father and your mom was the most powerful and beautiful Kunoichi in all elemental nations. In wars she used to leave dead bodies in her wake. She even rivaled Minato Namikaze's HIraishin with her raw speed. Minato never won in a spar with Kushina even using his Hiraishin. She had monstrous strength in her arms. She was the Master of fuinjutsu, kenjutsu, taijutsu of Uzumaki styles. She was the fastest woman, anyone could ever be. She was like an Uchiha in genjutsu. And she was proficient in using other elements too other than her own. So she had five elements in her arsenal. She even taught her husband advanced fuinjutsu. She was the one who helped Minato to modify the HIraishin, that previous hokage created. The fear among Shinobis titled her as Red Death and Red Hot Habanero.
Your parents loved you deeply even when you weren't born. And lastly I didn't tell you about your parents because of the same reason as earlier. Your mother and father had many enemies outside the village so I thought that hiding the truth from you will save you from any assassination attempts from outsiders" Hiruzen explained him about his mother.
For several minutes there was only silence in the hokage office. Naruto's heart was whirlwind of emotions but he controlled his emotions. He will have more time later. Then Anko break the silence.
"Naruto your mom was a …freaking powerhouse. Now I am regretting that I didn't get to know her more at that time" Anko said which made Naruto smile but it vanished as it came. He looked at Hokage with hardened eyes.
''Really, you didn't tell me for that pathetic excuse that I will be assassinated from outsiders. And you did this to keep me safe but tell me one thing hokage-sama, was I safe from Konoha itself, from its people, from its shinobis. You couldn't even protect me from your own people then what's the point in not telling me. Really pathetic...really-really pathetic excuse'' Naruto said with disgust.
Naruto knew he was lying. The reason was something else but he decided to not go further. He didn't want to alarm Hokage with his questions and actions. It will only result in increasing suspiciousness on them.
''That house you mentioned, I want its key and everything related to it'' Naruto said and hokage nodded.
''I am sorry Naruto for what I did but I didn't have any choice at that time….. Now tell me what I want to know'' Hiruzen said and suddenly a clone came rushing in the hokage office.
The clone looked at Naruto and Naruto nodded and clone handed the book to hokage.
''This book told me. Read the last page and last paragraph'' Naruto said.
Hiruzen's eyes widened reading it. 'How...how the hell in the world this book escaped from being destroyed. I destroyed everything related to Uzushiogakure and Uzumakis' Hiruzen thought.
Naruto stood up. ''So hand me the key and let us leave'' Naruto said stretching his hand outward.
Hiruzen stood up and opened a vault and took out the key and a scroll. He handed the key and scroll to Naruto ''This is the key and in this scroll is the method of using the key'' Hiruzen said.
''Anything else'' Naruto asked checking the scroll.
''No'' Hiruzen said.
Naruto nodded and turned to Anko who was silently standing. ''Let's go Anko-chan'' Naruto said with a tired smile which Anko returned.
''I also have something to ask Hokage-sama'' Anko asked.
''What is it''?
''Well I wanted to talk about my Jounin status. I consider myself ready'' Anko said and she heard a chuckle from Kakashi.
Hiruzen thought for a moment, he still not trusted her completely after Orochimaru incident and if she gets promoted then she will have more authority in the village. I will have to do something, then he said ''Okay but you will have to pass an exam and I think you know what the exam is'' Hiruzen said.
''No I don't know'' Anko said.
''We changed it recently. Now the process is like this; you will choose two jounins of your choice and I will choose three jounins and you will fight them'' Hiruzen said and everyone could here Kakashi's snickering.
Anko closed her eyes and opened them again ''I accept and my chosen people are Genma and Kurenai'' Anko said with a devil smirk.
Kakshi's chucking and snickering stopped and stared at Anko with wide eyes.
''What happened Kakashi-san. Cat got your tongue'' Naruto said snickering.
''And who do you choose'' Anko asked.
''You will know on the day of test'' Hiruzen said.
''So when is the test'' Anko asked Hokage.
''Well Genma is on a mission and he will return tomorrow, so day after tomorrow at ten o'clock in training ground 7'' Hiruzen told her.
''Okay I will be there'' Anko asked and looked at Naruto. Both nodded to each other and vanished, so fast that hokage and Kakshi couldn't even see.
Hiruzen looked at the book. It looked like any normal book but how this book escaped from everyone's eyes. He then turned book to look its back and what he saw made his eyes widened.
"What the hell" he shouted in disbelief.
"What happened, Hokage-sama" Kakashi asked who was still there.
"This book is not from Konoha, it's an Uzumaki clan book" Hokage said sweating.
"What" Kakashi said standing up?
Kakashi then sat down again, "Does it mean it was placed by someone" Kakashi said. Hokage nodded, "but still the question is how it slipped from every one's eyes and who might have put it there.
"Do you have any doubt on anyone" Kakashi asked.
Hokage thought hard, "Doubt… no, I don't doubt anyone in this but I will have to investigate it" he said.
Then silent fell again but Hiruzen break it this time, "Well now if council gets the wind of the secret that Naruto is the heir of Uzumaki clan and Namikage then Naruto could be thrown in the CRA" Hiruzen said to Kakashi who shrugged, "What's the problem then" Kakashi asked.
Hokage leaned in the chair, "The problem is how would Naruto and Anko react, moreover how would Anko react" Hiruzen said.
"Well if Naruto says yes then Anko shouldn't matter" Kakashi said.
"Hmm…. You are right but what if Naruto asks Anko to interfere, of which I am sure he will ask" Hiruzen said. Then they both sighed.
Naruto opened the scroll and read the address aloud for Anko to hear. They then went to the address. The home was at the edge of clan district.
They were now standing to the place but there was nothing to see.
Anko took the scroll and read; First of all remember that only an Uzumaki or Namikage can unlock this. First release some chakra then the locking system with the home will appear.
Naruto did as Anko read.
A locking system seal appeared before them hovering in the air. It had a red circle and a keyhole beside it. Both the keyhole and the red circle were encircled in another blue circle.
Surrounding the blue circle there was four green colored small shuriken like symbols which was connected by a line to the Blue circle.
Naruto and Anko were amazed at the locking system seal. Anko then read further.
''In red circle put some drops of blood then put the key in the keyhole''.
Naruto cut his thumb from the kunai and drop four drop of blood in the red circle. Then he inserted the key. The blue circle started to glow.
''Now send your chakra in each of the four outer symbols'' Anko read. Naruto feed his chakra to four symbols.
The four shuriken like symbols then merged with the blue circle and the blue color changed to red.
A click sound was heard.
The two story house appeared in front of them and they were standing in front of the gate. After the house appeared completely the locking system seal disappeared.
Anko looked at Naruto and put a hand to his head. ''Are you ready Naruto'' Anko asked.
''Yeah'' He said and pushed the door inside. They both entered the house and walked in.
The ground floor had couches and furniture. To the side was kitchen and to one side was dinner table with four chairs.
They went upstairs. There were four rooms. Anko and Naruto checked all the rooms. One room was a library, second was a study room. Several different kinds of scrolls were stacked in the cupboards and a table in the center which also has some scrolls. Anko lifted a scroll and looked in it and she deduced that it was sealing study room.
Naruto noticed there was a vault in the room and Naruto's name was written on it with instructions to open it. There was also a letter on the table. Naruto lifted the letter and read it with Anko.
'Hey, Naruto it's me, your mama…
A/N: So read and review. I would really like to know how it is.
And in next chapter Kushina will appear again when something happens with Naruto and this time with a boom. Then in the story, there would be Anko's Jounin test and then there could be a confrontation with Shinigami for Kushina's return to the living world….that's it for now.
