Welcome to chapter two..

Please Review, it gives me the motivation to continue with the story.

( Also a reminder. This story is epic length, so in the near future please expect a much larger chapter. But for now, this should suffix.)

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

3 months later

Nauto kicked the wooden post in front of him, his shirt removed and sweat trickling down his body, or it could have just been the rain, either way he was soaked. His mind wondered off, before switching to fist, elbows, knees and then started using all of them in rapid succession. Naruto cursed when the post broke, and went to get another one but decided to take a water brake first.

He was never one to take a break, he preferred working till he knocked out from exhaustion. But today was different, he just wasn't feeling it. As much as he tried to hide it, he missed his home. He told his mom about it but she'll look away and say.

' This is home.' and Naruto would say nothing, knowing she was right. He felt bad for his mom really, forced to return to a place that kicked her out, living with the guy that was the cause of all of her pent up rage. Having to work for a man that she would rather kill, yeah, she had it ruff. So him missing home, and bitching about it to her made him looked pathetic.

His relationship with his father hasn't improved. He still called him in a formal way and when ever a conversation was sure to begin with them, he'll nip it in the bud by walking away just plain not responding. Cold, but he deserved it. Yeah, he admits the man was strong and acknowledged that he wanted to be stronger then him but that was it.

He felt like he was being immature about the whole thing and that maybe it was time to forgive and forget, but then he'll look at his mom and see the sadness in her face and the feeling was gone.

He spent a lot more time with Nami and while he enjoyed the time he spent with his little sister he quickly realized they did not share common interest. Nami liked playing pranks, he did not, Nami liked hanging out with friends, he did not, Nami liked going out, he did not and most of all, Nami liked being the center of attention, something he absolutely hated, just the thought of people looking at him made him uncomfortable. But they did share a common interest and that was training something his mom made sure she took charge off.

He looked up at the cloudy sky and smiled, he loved this weather.

Flashback

" Okay you two! Listen up, today we'll start your combat training." Kushina yelled. She was in the center of the Namikaze dojo, she was in full shinobi gear and her faced showed her seriousness.

Nami gave a loud content yelp and stood up. Letting the dumb bell she was lifting fall to the ground, causing it to crack from the weigh. Naruto was a little more subtle but the smirk on his face said everything. Kushina watched them and was a little disappointed in Nami reaction, while she was a kid; a ninja is suppose to show as little emotion as possible and was a little more pleased with Narutos performance but she could still see his smirk, not to mention his body tensing up.

She decided to leave all of that for another time, today was just practice. "Okay, since both of you are already familiar with the basic academy stuff let's skip all of the useless nonsense and get right to the good stuff." Kushina said moving towards them. "Your dad was the one that had to take first shift with your training but he was busy at the office," They didn't miss the anger in those words. "Naruto I already know what your capable of but Nami your father refused to give me any information on you, I was gonna let you tell me but I figured it was best to demonstrate. Come on, follow me.

They left the dojo and followed Kushina down the hallway. They raised a eyebrow when she stopped in front of what seemed to be a blank wall, and they called her crazy when she started patting the wall in different places along the surface.

"Found it." She said. Naruto felt a sharp stab of chakra before the wall ignited in intricate seals that ran along the surface. They both looked on with with a mix of surprise and awe. Nami blinked, dad never told her about this. When the seals died down the wall split open and Kushina walked in, peaking her head out slightly to tell them to hurry up. Naruto and Nami entered but not before looking around to see if anyone saw them entered the strange room... which was stupid since they were in the most secure place in the whole village.

They gasped at what they found inside. The room was massive and it was filled with many different types of gadgets and machinery that they never seen before. The room looked like some kind of lab.

"Okay you two stop the gaping and enter the simulator." Kushina spoke.

"What's a simulator?" They asked at the same time. Kushina shook her head, she was expecting that answer from Naruto not from Nami who lived here her whole life.

"Just enter through that door and I'll explain when your there." Naruto and Nami looked at each other and shrugged. How bad could it be? They approached the door and were a little surprised when the door slid open by itself and closed when they passed. They expected some type of giant training room with a lot of weapons and trees. What they got was a plain white room.

"Okay you too, listen up I won't be repeating myself." Kushina said they looked around and couldn't see her or any microphone that could be amplifying her voice. "Relax, I'm here, this room is meant to be looked into not out of. This is a simulator a device that could help you train for future obstacles you two might face. The room is a special design that was invented by the Namikaze and the Uzumaki... They wanted to take technology to a whole new level, from teleporting to time travel, even though the earlier of the two was the only one reachable at the time."

Naruto and Nami were by now beyond impressed... wait did she say teleport? Did she mean shushin?

"No not Shushin, that's just a way of using chakra to increase your speed to the point that it looks like your teleporting but in reality your just moving very quickly. I'm talking more like your fathers yellow flash technique, that was the first prototype the two clans were able to make, Minato is so far the only one capable of performing it."

Now they were just passed impressed and were right up there with bullshit.

" Think I'm lying? Go ahead and ask him. Anyways-"

" How have you been reading our thoughts?" Naruto asked. He noticed it the first time but thought it was just luck but his mom was talking like she was responding to their thoughts not just guessing. Kushina smirked, Nami looked confused.

" Well you see, when you entered the room a small almost unrecognizable seal was placed on the back of your neck. Don't worry, it'll disappear once we leave this room but for the time being I need to know what your thinking to fully comprehend your level of skill."

Naruto nodded and she continued.

" Now, this simulator is able to convert images into reality, the room can become little to the twice the size of konoha, it can turn into a large lava with a tornado going through it and it could even become a large sea, but you two are not at that level yet, since everything that happenes in the simulator could and would be passed on to your real body."

They paled at that.

" But let's keep it simple, I won't tell you what the thing will be about to keep yah on your toes. Any questions?"

" Can we be killed?"

" No, the simulator will not let you get killed. This was the first thing the Namikaze made sure of before the Uzumaki used their sealing abilities to make sure that if the thing does mess up it will be turned off and will not reactivate to the problem is fix, which the seal them self will try to do."

Naruto and Nami were at a lost for words, these two clans that they were part of were something else... obviously this thing was well beyond its time, and was mostly likely considered impossible by everyone else but here they were living it and the worst thing was... they felt like this was just the tip of the ice berg of what these clans were truly capable off, how else will a bloodline less clan survive for so long? Something was up... something nobody wanted to tell them about.

Kushina read the thoughts loud and clear and sighed... no they couldn't tell them... not just yet.

" If that's all, good luck!"

The room setting immediately changed. They were in the middle of a jungle, the tree high above their heads and the smell of blood was everywhere... it made them sick and they wanted nothing more but to puke. Mom wasn't playing, this looked real.

' Not look, is real' they both heard at the same time... they looked around nothing. ' did you already forget what I told you earlier? Anyways, everything you see is real, nothing about this is fake...'

They nodded. Things just got a hundred and ten percent more difficult. They heard a group of people shouting in some strange language and jumped into a near by bush. Three men came appeared, they were wearing the weirdest clothes they ever seen. One man was naked except for a cloth that covered his, how you put it? Privates. The second was wearing a pair of baggy silky jeans with no shirt or shoes, the reason being everywhere that skin was supposed to be showing was covered in metallic little balls... he looked like some kind of robot. The third man was a lot more normal... if you could call it that. He was wearing a black and white tuxedo but one problem, he had no head and his eyes were located were his nipples should be.

Their appearance wasn't what caught their attention, oh no, what did catch their attention was the group of people that followed them, there was about twenty woman and children all chained to the other and when one collapsed to the floor, dead. The others didn't stop, instead they kept walking literally dragging the dead wait.

Naruto tensed when he saw Nami reach for a Kunai.

"Don't." He said in a hushed tone but it was to late. Nami had already launched the projectile. The kunai cut through the air before hitting the guy with the tux right in between the eyes in other words. The man fell and Nami jumped from her hiding spot. Naruto cursed and went after her.

"Let them go!" Nami yelled, Naruto looked at her and noticed her usual green eyes took on a red tinge.

"You killed, koto! You bitch you'll pay for that." Yelled the man with the cloth around his waist. Naruto cursed reaching for his sword, this guy energy cause it dam right wasn't chakra, just went through the roof... the fact that he can actually feel it was even more disturbing. Nami was clueless to this and was the exact reason why she attacked. She put up a good fight but was eventually hit with a hit so hard that he actually winced... if what mom said was true she'll have a few cracked ribs, some internal bleeding and maybe a major head ache.

He caught her before she hit the ground and put her off to the side and saw her body start to vanish and he panicked.

'Don't worry Naruto, it's me keep going.' Naruto nodded.

These guys were good, and he knew he was gonna lose no doubt about it but no way in hell will he go down with out a fight.

"Your next!" The man yelled, while the one that looked like a robot took what he thought was a tai jutsu stance.

" Fuck off." He replied with a smirk.

Flashback end.

He smirked again, yeah he got beat up bad. The worst part was it was, the simulator was only on beginners maybe a little lower then that. He remembered going to the academy next day feeling like shit, Nami was a lot better off since she always healed quicker then him. She said the kyuubi was the cause, he had it too why didn't he heal fast?

He got up and placed another wooden post. The rain was really coming down now and he loved it. He began slow doing a couple of slow jabs and kicks. Not putting any real force behind the blows. He raised his hand to his cheek and felt the almost faint scar... and he punched the post so hard his fist went right through it.

' Itachi.'

Flashback

Naruto laid in bed looking out the window. For as long as he could remember, the moon was always able to make him think clearly. The amount of stress his mind was under was to much and it was causing him precious sleep.

In a span of twelve hours he found out he had a 'dad', a sister and that he was born in a village he didn't even know existed. His head was starting to hurt from just the thoughts. He pulled the sheets of him and decided to take a walk. He made as little noise as possible and stepped on the edge of the steps next to the walls to prevent any creaking.

He was outside the mansion and wrapped his sleeping Kimono tighter around his body as the cold wind hit him. It was nights like these that made him appreciate everything he had. He began walking around the deserted Namikaze estate and continued to look around till he found a small cavern. It was closed that's for certain, he could feel a strange energy from inside and decided he should check it out.

He broke down a couple of wooden four by fours to keep people from entering and pushed himself in as there was only a small hole that remained. He looked around for awhile and reached for his blade when he saw red blood shot eyes... He cursed realizing he left his weapon at home.

'How could I be so careless?' He thought before narrowly dodging a claw that triedto rip his face off. He caught a glimpse of the creature and almost pee'd his pants.

"I know you, you're the-"

"Wake up Naruto-kun! You wouldn't want to be late for your first day of school right?" Naruto looked at his mom, must've been a dream... it felt so real.

Naruto got up and was entering the bathroom.

"Listen Naruto, I kno-" Naruto slammed the door in her face, the universal sign that read, I don't want to hear it. He came out a couple of minutes later with Nami waiting for him on top of his bed. She tossed him his clothes and he caught it and gave her a silent thank you.

"Ready?" She asked smiling. She couldn't wait to introduce him to all her friends.

"Let's go." He said fully dressed. He wasn't allowed to wear his body suit as that was a Uzu tradition and didn't fare well in Konoha. So instead his mom bought him, a pair of black pants with orange trims, a fishnet shirt that wen't under his dark orange blazer that had the Uzumaki symbol patched to his back, and some plain black shinobi sandals. His hair was no longer in a pony tail, instead letting it fall freely to his back and shoulders.

"You look cool Niisan!" Naruto smiled and ruffled Nami head, which earned him a solid punch to the stomach.

"Your messing up my hair!" She said patting her hair down and grabbing his hands and leading him outside. They were about to leave the house when Kushina yelled back at them. She was holding a couple of brown bags and Naruto swore, how could he forget his sword?

"Here Naruto, Nami. You forgot your lunch, and you almost left your sword Naruto, what did I tell you about that?" She said scowling.

"If you leave your blade, your leaving yourself." He said with a sigh. Nami looked at Kushina.

"Kasaan! When do I get a blade?" Nami asked. Kushina took a knee and looked at Nami.

"Soon." She said giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Now hurry, you'll be late." Nami nodded and turned on her heel and began to walk, Naruto trailing her.

Naruto cursed. Yep, this village was ten times worse then Uzu when it came to fan girls. Him and Nami been walking for about ten minutes and they were already being pestered by the people.

"No thanks, I'm to young to marry." He heard Nami said. She was a lot nicer with them, he was already earning a reputation. Apparently he was a stuck up from Uzu who thought himself above everyone else... he liked, it kept people away.

"What's up with their eyes?" Naruto asked Nami.

"They're from the Hyuugan clan, they have a kenkei genkai that allows them to look in a complete three sixty and gives them the ability to looks through things, they could even see the tenketsu is a person body and their Tai-jutsu is said to be unrivaled as they could disable a person with just one hit."

Naruto nodded impressed. If what Nami was saying was true these people were strong.

"That's the Uchiha clan." Nami spat the name with venom. Naruto raised a eyebrow. "That's Sasuke and his brother Itachi." Naruto noticed the two black haired kids, the older one Itachi must've noticed his look as he glared back at him. Both refused to look away, before the kids eyes flashed red.

"Come on." Nami said pulling him. He took one last glance at the kid and smirked before looking away, some competition.

They arrived a little too early as the doors haven't opened and most of the kids were still standing outside.

"Nami-chan! Over here!" He ignored them thinking it was just another fan-girl but was surprised when Nami responded.

"Ino-chan!" And started walking towards her. It didn't take long to reach her but he was a little more then annoyed with the stares he was getting from the people around him.

"Ino meet my brother Naruto, Naruto meet my best friend Ino." Naruto nodded bowing his head in acknowledgement. He heard someone clear their throat and noticed some pineapple haired kid was looking right at him.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Shikamaru Nara." Naruto nodded bowing his head.

"Like wise, I'm Naruto Uzumaki." Some fat kid stepped up.

"Hey, Naruto I'm Chouji Akamichi." He said munching on chips. Naruto nodded his head.

"I'm kiba and this is my partner Akamaru." The small dog gave a bark. Naruto nodded his head... Konoha sure was strange.

"Shino Aburame." Naruto snapped his head to the right... he didn't even sensed his chakra.. well he did but he didn't pay much mind thinking it was some random civilian... what the hell was taking up so much chakra from this kid?

"Naruto." He responded flatly and turned around when he heard a girlish squeal.

"Yep, they're here." He heard the kid with the dog spit out. It was Sasuke and Itachi and he smirked when Itachi glared at him.

"Come on let's go inside before these girls start fighting." Nami said. The doors were indeed open and some shinobi with a scar on his nose began to tell people to go inside.

Nami and Naruto were the first one in the class and picked a seat near the back of the room. Nami was a little put-off she wanted to sit next to Ino in the front, Naruto said she could go and do so, but she didn't want to leave him alone.

The room went from nearly empty to full in five minutes. he noticed the Uchihas were at the front of the class near the window with a a group of fan girls surrounding them, if they noticed they didn't show it because none of the two paid any attention to them.

He looked at the door hearing it open and his breath was caught in his lungs when the person walked in. She was a Hyuuga from Nami description but it was hard to believe such a gentle face was capable of doing what Nami described. She walked in a little fast, a blush on her face as she tried to get to her seat.. which just happened to be behind him.

" Hey Hinata-chan!" Nami yelled. " Meet my brother Naruto!" Nami wasn't to quiet about it as the whole room looked back at him.

"Since when do you have a brother?" Some no named kid said. But he asked the question everyone was thinking.

"Since yesterday!" Nami yelled proudly. Hinata took this time to look over at Naruto and her face flushed red, when pale creamy eyes met vibrant blue... the world slew down for her before she lowered her face and took her seat..

Naruto raised a eyebrow... she was weird.

" Okay class today we will be learning about the shinobi wars..."

Flashback end.

Naruto snorted at the memory. The academy was a joke, it was hard to believe that such a strong village carried such a pathetic teaching system. They didn't do nothing to important only replayed history over and over again. The best thing there was the sparing matches. They were put up against other kids, Nami was at the top of the class for the girls but Itachi stood at the top of the class for the boys followed by him then Sasuke.

The thought infuriated as he broke another post this time with a round house kick that snapped the post in half. The rain was coming down hard, the rain drop no longer feeling like drops of water but more like small pebbles. Naruto fell back on his back.

He hated it here, nothing was the same. He missed his friends, he missed his trainers, he missed his grandpa and most importantly he missed his mom. Even though he saw her everyday, she wasn't herself she looked so miserable and it was starting to affect him, little by little he was starting to hate the village too.

He did everything to avoid going around the village, he hated it. Naruto got up and began to walk away, putting on his fish net shirt and blazer picking up his blade and putting on his back. He walked to edge of the training field, which happened to be on top of the Hokage monument.

" One day mom, we'll be out of here... I promise." He said jumping off head first.

' The time if coming, Soon Naruto-kun we will meet.'

Done this is probably the worst chapter as of yet, no action, no nothing.

But it was needed to reflex whats been happening.

Explain his relation ships with the family,

meeting Hinata

and how he feels about the village...

Just to clear things up, Naruto will not always show his hate for the village like he did here.

The person at the end will not be introduce for quite some time.

And Next chapter the official story will begin, the plot will start moving. More family interactions.

Comments on Reviews.

I have been seeing a lot of people saying they don't feel the same hate as the first chapter that it seems like their a happy family. But if you don't notice Minato has still been neglected. The only one that get a long are Naruto, Kushina and Nami.

Nami may seem a little immature in front of Naruto but they've lived completely different lives.

Minato will start to appear more as he try's once again to be part of the family.

Next chapter:

Naruto effort.
