"Bijuu speaking"
-line-
Naruto thinks for a second before saying"... I know the name of your creator or father and most importantly... I know your name and your 8 other siblings…"
The moment Naruto said those words, the fox became solely focused on him. The fox then urged him to continue with three simple words. " Go on, continue"
Nodding, Naruto cupped his chin before speaking again "The name of your father is Otsutsuki Hagoromo, the sage of six paths And one of the sons of Otsutsuki kaguya." Naruto paused to see the fox's reaction and saw that the fox is just staring at him,so he continued "as for your and your siblings' names, the one tailed sand… something was named shukaku, the two tailed cat - matatabi, the three tailed turtle - isobu, the four tailed monkey - son goku, the five tails - kokuo, the six tailed slug - saiken, the seven-tailed horned beetle - chomei, the eight-tailed ox-octopus - gyuki and lastly…" Naruto stopped and pointed at the fox "you, the nine tailed fox… kurama" he finished and said the fox's name with a smile.
Naruto expected kurama to have some kind of reaction but the fox just continued staring at him with unblinking eyes, he didn't notice before but the menacing swaying of kurama's tails has also stopped.
He then remembered something about a certain clan that's bugged Navi so he asked " hey I have a question, are you somehow related to the kurama clan? There's this clan in konoha with weird genjutsu power and whatnot. Are you related to them?"
The fox didn't answer and just stood up and started to walk Into the darkness behind it."I have things to think about, do 'not' bother me with foolish questions. You should get out now. I tire of your presence" the fox stated.
Naruto not expecting this and because he still got some questions, tried to stop the fox by shouting at it's retreating back " wait-wait-wait, I still have some questions! Can you help me sort out the memories? And also can you.. not mess with my chakra? I know you're trying to mess with it since earlier when I was pulling into mine I accidentally pulled into yours, I was really not expecting to pull into it and it kinda surprised me so, can you please not mess with it? I need to practice and perfect my chakra control if I want to go against those pale skinned asshats, and you messing with the seal by forcing chakra into me is just gonna slow down the process?"
Kurama momentarily stopped before speaking, still with its back turned to him ""do it yourself, it's something that you should do on your own,and even if I'm capable of helping you I wouldn't do it, and for the last one… why should I? If you get killed by them that just means that I'll be free, if they kill you I gain my freedom so there's not really much of a consequence if I let them kill you. In fact! I'd even gladly help them do it if I could!""
Kind of surprised by the reply he got, Naruto then asked. " what's with that sudden attitude? I answered all your questions earlier. Is it the kurama clan question? Or… is it the fact that I know of your father's name and yours?"
"" LEAVE! NOW!"" the fox shouted and Naruto just complied. His form slowly disappearing as he wakes up.
""He's lying, he's lying there's no way everything he said was true." The fox said in a whisper of sorts. Despite all the facts pointing that what Naruto said was true, the fox still wanted to believe it fake. And also being reminded by its father brought out a sore spot that it didn't know even existed. "" But if that's all fake how did he know mine and father's name?"" Not wanting to think further into it, the fox just laid its head down on top of its paws. "" It doesn't matter. For now I'll just think this through.""
Naruto opened his eyes and saw the interior of his room, he sighed. The fox's reaction was a bit unexpected but also expected.
He'd have the same reaction too if a random kid just walked up to him and told him all his secrets like it's mundane information.
He decided that he'd give the fox some time alone before bothering it again. He can't just go on with his life and ignore the chakra that's being forced on him so he'd need to discuss that matter to the fox soon.
He looked to his clock to see that it's just been a few minutes." Ok! it certainly took more than just a few minutes, there's no way, this is sooo trippy!" he exclaimed.
Shaking his head, He stood up and decided to see if the dough had rose since he left it but he just became disappointed that it hasn't *sigh* " maybe I'd just go the ichiraku - " he was stopped when he heard knocking on his door.
He just stood for a second thinking ' umm, I wasn't expecting any visitors so who is that? The only person that visit me was the hokage, but he just visited yesterday so it can't be him.' he walked to the door and opened it to see the aged hokage in front.
He bacame confused so He asked " Jiji? What brought you here?"
The old man looked him up and down, seemingly checking if there's something wrong with him before replying" oh nothing, I'm just checking in on you to make sure you're alright and to check if you've already spent your money on ramen. Say Naruto-chan do you feel strange?"
Naruto scrunched his brows, the old man's onto something. He 'checked' himself, looking at his arms and legs to see if something was wrong. obviously he knew the reason why the old man is here but he decided to play dumb. There's no need for the old man to know he met the fox. " I feel fine, old man why'd you ask?"
"Oh nothing, just checking on you. Say, are you busy right now? I was thinking maybe we could get some ramen. "
The blond instantly replied. " Of course I'm free! Your treat old man?"
"Sure sure it's my treat" the old man replied with a smile.
With that, they started to walk to ichiraku to eat.
Naruto was now laying on his bed, staring into the ceiling with the lights turned off. The only light coming into his bedroom was the moonlight and the street lamp on the tall post.
He was contemplating all the things he could do, now that he has access to his chakra. He couldn't just do the jutsu Navi has memorized as that would bring unnecessary attention and questions would be asked regarding where he learned it. He's not even sure if he'd be able to replicate those.
The archives are only available to Shinobi and even then you'd need to be at least Chunin or above to be able to access the ninjutsu section. 'The only things I could do at the moment were the leaf sticking exercise and taijutsu practice. Speaking of taijutsu, I'm surprised that Jiji didn't ask where I learned the taijutsu I used. I'm 80 percent certain that the ANBU watching me would report the strange taijutsu I used earlier. I've already confirmed that there are ANBU watching me, how else would jiji know that I accidentally pulled on fox's chakra if there weren't ANBU watching over me.' he just shrugged it off, there's nothing he could do about it anyways so he might as well just leave it be.
An imaginary light bulb appeared over his head as he thought of a way to gain access to ninjutsu before even graduating. He could use his pranking as a reason to spy on genin teams. of course he'd need a good reason for pranking but that's already taken care of as the previous him has already started pranking the civilians for attention, albeit negative, attention is still attention to a child that has not experienced any form of it.
' *sigh* it seems like I'd need to continue my pranking, for me to be able to spy without much suspicion. But on the up side!, if I managed to see someone do the *kage bunshin no jutsu * and copied them I'd be able to graduate much early, like Itachi did.' He summarized before once again listing all the things he could do while in the academy.
'My Taijutsu would need to be worked on, using taekwondo is all good but I need some variations. I'd be easily countered if someone has a taijutsu style made to counter kicking based styles. I should probably hit up the library for that. Next is…*sigh* I don't think there's much that I can work on while being in the academy. There's no ninjutsu in the library, only some taijutsu styles and… wait is there a fuinjutsu instruction in the Library? If there is then maybe I can work on that ' he thought. but he'd need a good reason to be at the library, searching for fuinjutsu lest he wants his ANBU guards to be suspicious and even more questioning from the hokage would occur.
'Why do I need to have an ANBU guard anyways?!' he whined mentally
' though I could just walk in there and act like I was looking for something and accidentally found fuinjutsu… yep that could work!'
"I'm just gonna sleep" he whispered to himself ' I'll leave all the thinking for tomorrow. This day is by far the most annoying one I've had. Messed up memories, getting lost, no food in the fridge, the hassle of buying groceries, the foxy and lastly the dough that still hasn't risen enough! Is the yeast impotent or something?' he summarized the annoying things that happened to him earlier, before slowly drifting into sleep as he closed his eyes.
He got woken up by a ray of sunlight hitting his face through a small gap between the curtains,choosing to not wake up yet, he rolled to his right to avoid the sunlight but he fell off his bed causing his sleepiness to be knocked right out of him.
The expression on his face is exactly what one would assume from someone that got rudely woken up, his eyes are droopy, his hair was a mess and there's a huge frown plastered on his face.
He shifted his gaze to his useless alarm clock that didn't ring, And his eyes widened as he saw the time 6:47.
" Aaahh I'm gonna be late!!!!!" Moving quickly!, he made a run to the bathroom and took off his clothes.
Getting in the tub to shower, he didn't even bother checking if the shower was set to warm so when he turned the water on and it touched him "ooooh!?!" it sent a shiver through his body!.
He finished quickly and he then went to the sink and brushed his teeth. after brushing his teeth. Getting in his room again, he quickly changed his clothes and jumped out his window.
The moment he landed, He immediately ran as fast as he could to the academy not wanting to be late again.
…
Running through the streets of konoha, he didn't even bother listening to the mocking whispers of the civilians. He just ran like his life depends on it.
"Watch where you're going dumbass!" a civilian man shouted.
Pushing and shoving some civilians might not be the best action but it is completely necessary if he wants to arrive on time. He could've went the easier route by jumping through the buildings but he's still too disoriented and he didn't like the idea of him breaking a bone and wait for it to heal or go to the hospital which he doesn't like.
"Sorry!" He shouted back
He was now at the market, and the market like usual, was packed like sardines. He saw some things that seemed interesting but he decided not to pay attention to them.
In front of him, an obstacle appeared! Two men carrying some plywood across the street!. He calculated that if he continued moving the same speed he's currently going, he'd smash face first into the plywood and would not only embarrass him in front of many people but it would also slow him and cause him to be late. He scanned the surroundings while still running for some way to avoid them without waiting for them to pass.. and he saw none.if he went to the side, he would smash into some civilians that were shopping. He can't jump above them either because his tiny little legs wouldn't be able to jump that high. no he lied, he can jump above it but he wouldn't do it right now because like stated earlier, he's still too disoriented from the memories, he reckon it's about 5 feet high. The only way for him to avoid hitting it without jumping, was to slide below it. He was closing in and his choice was reduced to sliding under it.
'Now or never!' he shouted in his mind, deciding that he'd do it.
He increased his speed even more and soon enough! The wood is nearly in front of him. The moment he saw the opportunity to slide, he bent his back leg and stopped the movement of both legs, causing his momentum to send him sliding forward! The moment he passed the plywood he rolled and stood up and continued his sprint!
"Woohoo!!!" he cheered, earning himself a few stares but he didn't care! All he cared about was he did an awesome slide under stunt! He didn't know if that's what it's actually called but it's still pretty awesome for him.
Even with a memory of an 18 year old guy, he still acts like a child, he knew it too and he guessed that he wouldn't change that. He saw what early adulthood was like through some of Navi's memories and it wasn't fun, he know that if he wanted to enjoy life, he needs to act like a kid sometimes. Though for him acting like a child is a normal thing because he IS still a child. A child with memories of an adult but still a child nonetheless.
After a few more minutes of running he finally saw it… the academy gate. He smiled. Though he was sweating and breathing heavily, he didn't care. All he cared about was that HE arrived at the academy on time!.
He got confused though because as he came closer to it, the gate appeared to be… closed.
His running slowed down to a jog and then to just walking as his expression morphs into that of pure annoyance.
CLOSED.
NO UNAUTHORIZED
ENTRY ALLOWED*
that's what was written on the sign in front of the gate that Naruto saw. Looking absolutely miffed he looked behind him and asked one of the random people walking.
He saw a lady holding a basket full of vegetables." Excuse me, do you know why the academy is closed?" He asked politely.
The lady looked at him and answered quickly " it's Saturday" before walking away.
Meanwhile Naruto just stood there with a deer in headlights expression. The lady's words echoing through his head like a shout in a cave. 'it's Saturday - it's Saturday - it's Saturday'
"IT'S-FUCKIN-SATURDAY!" He said in a hushed tone while palming his face with both hands and pulling on it hard due to frustration. His previous high energy seems to leave him completely.
' FUCKING MEMORIES! *INHALE* *EXHale* calm yourself. Just breathe *inhale* *exhale* haaaaah' finally calming down, he finished with a sigh and then thought of what he should do now.
He turned around and said, " I might as well just explore. This is annoying."
He looked around and saw the playground, the same playground where he first heard the parents tell their children to not get near him. He stares at it for a few seconds before shrugging and walking towards it. Completely forgetting his plans to explore. And though he shrugged the feeling of loneliness and sadness that he felt the moment he saw the playground. He knows it's there, he didn't have any options but to shrug it off anyways so he just let it be.
He then sat on one of the benches under a tree and looked up towards the sky, the morning clouds looking absolutely beautiful.
Yawn~*
" I'm still sleepy, I want to sleep" He grumbled under his breath.
He looks around to see if someone is nearby and found no one. ' this silence is both pleasing and sombering at the same time.' he thought, the current silence and bareness of the playground reminding him of how lonely he is even with Navi's memories.
'i already know the reason for their cautiousness and hatred towards me but… this loneliness is nearly unbearable.' Navi's memories should've altered his way of feeling his own emotions such as sadness and depression but, I just can't help it…
The whispers that he heard when they thought they were out of earshot.
The sneers and the shouts he endured.
And their pure and utter hatred towards him that they didn't even bother trying to hide. Those were just too hard to complete ignore, no matter how much his previous self tried.
'i also know that those memories should've made me more mature and resistant towards those feelings but I can't seem to figure out (why?)... Is it because the memories haven't fully been Incorporated to mine? No that can't be it. The memories of Navi gifted me knowledge, ability to speak and understand complicated words and it also gave me… memories of having a family that I couldn't and wouldn't have…' while he was deep in thought, he didn't notice a single drop of tears that formed on the corner of his right eye. Those memories seem to be the last straw, and all his bottled up emotions up until yesterday were released. He only noticed it when it slid down his cheek. It quickly became followed by multiple more and soon both eyes were slowly streaming down tears on both his cheeks.
'am I… crying?' he raised a hand towards his right cheek and felt the cold tears caused by the sadness he was feeling
' why am I Crying? Navi's memories should've stopped me from being affected so why.' He wondered
' Oh,I know. My own memories. The ones that still remembers those feelings are now coming up to the surface because more of Navi's memories have been absorbed.' he concluded, tears still continuously streaming down his face.
'This sucks! this sucks! I hate this! I hate this feeling!' he cried in his mind. His previous child-like mind, before he got Navi's memories, made itself visible for moments before he vigorously started wiping the tears with his shirt. And though he was rambling and shouting in his mind, his body didn't give any outward reaction and he just sits there with tears on his eyes while looking towards the clouds
'I don't want to feel like this again! I should've been over this by now!' he continuedn looking towards the sky and just let the tears flow.
Closing his eyes while leaning his back on the bench, he slowly let himself drift to sleep.
It was a stupid idea to sleep in a playground that would be full of parents and children that hates you but, he really couldn't care less right now. And even if there's someone stupid enough to try and do something to him, the ANBU would just them them either way.
' I'm sure the ANBU would report my little episode just now to the hokage,haaah.' those were his thoughts before he completely fell asleep
…
Naruto slowly opened his eyes and blinked a couple times to allow it to adjust to the lighting. It was already nearing noon. He noted.
He stood up and stretched before looking around. There's a few parents and children at the park now but it seems that no one took it upon themselves to bother him.'although I wish they did. Haah' he thought with a sigh
He walked a few steps before he felt his stomach grumble and he remembered that he still hasn't eaten anything since last night.
Sigh* " I'm just gonna go home and cook something."
When he arrived home he took a look at his fridge and saw the dough that he made last night.
"Oh, The dough is finally ready " He muttered softly, his previous sad expression gaining a slight gleam of happiness. Before being snuffed away again
He proceeds to portion it into four and stored the 3 into three different oiled containers before putting it back in the fridge. He started to knead the 4th dough and shaped it into a somewhat circular shape on a flour dusted counter. Before transferring it to a large pan. "This thing still looks brand new" He noted with raised eyebrow. After that he opened the can of crushed tomatoes that bought yesterday and he spreads it on top of the dough. He then tore pieces of cheese and put it on the pizza.
" Now all I need to do is bake it." He felt like he was forgetting something so he quickly looked in the fridge again to make sure that he isn't forgetting anything. He saw the bell peppers that he bought yesterday and quickly grabbed it before chopping it into long strips and then putting it as toppings " I almost forgot about this… again, now I just need to bake this."
He then froze briefly thinking ' do I even have an oven?' quickly looking around the kitchen with a nervous look on his face but then calmed down when he saw an oven at the side of the counter. It's a small one but it still fits the pan that he put the pizza on.
Sigh*
After putting it in the oven, he just sits on his couch with nothing to do. His eyes darts across the room trying to find something interesting to ease his boredom that he might own… he found none.
He looks outside his window and saw the trees on the house across from his apartment and he gained an idea.
The leaf sticking exercise.
Quickly standing up and going outside to pick more than a few leaves as he was sure he'd not be able to do it immediately and the leaves would be destroyed after each failed attempt.
When he returned, he was holding in both his hands more leaves than he can count… because he didn't bother counting them and just grabbed as many as he could. But it's still a lot.
Ha sat on his couch in a meditative position before holding a leaf on his forehead with a finger.
He focused, hard and when it didn't work he focused even harder. And after a few more minutes of focusing and failing, The leaf in his finger became stuck in his forehead but his glee soon vanished when the leaf suddenly caught fire.
"Aaahh!" He shouted! Swatting the leaf out of his forehead before covering it with his palm, The leaf seared the top of his finger and it fell on the ground still on fire.
' this sucks.' he sighed before trying it again, this time with a different part of forehead, because the previous one Is still slightly burned.
'Let's Try this again' doing the same thing, he managed to make the leaf stick in his forehead for the same amount of time. And like earlier the leaf caught on fire again, but this time he managed to swat it off quickly before it could actually burn him.
'Again' this time he decided to stick the leaf on a different part of his body, he chose his right cheek as the victim. He did all the things he did previously and lo and behold it caught on fire again.
'What am I doing wrong?' he asked himself. 'am I unconsciously putting too much chakra on it? Possible, but I can't really do anything about it since foxy is still messing with my chakra even now. Haaah. At least all the chakra foxy's forcing to me is expanding my reserves. But the more chakra I hold the more difficult it will be for me to control it… I feel like my life has become more annoying and depressing after I got Navi's memories. The results should've been the opposite of what it is right now but no, the truths that he got from Navi's memories only made him even more depressed. Jiji has been lying to him all this time. He knew who his parents were but chose not to tell him.
Some people from Navi's memories said that if the old man told Naruto the truth about who his parents were he'd blabber about it non-stop because of how obnoxious he is and how starved of attention he was. But that was false.
The previous him wouldn't shout and proclaim it to everyone, he'd keep it to himself and loathe that his parents are actually dead. And the only reason why he sought the attention of everyone was because he wanted them to see him as he is and not the fox.
'i'm getting sidetracked now' he thought shaking his head.
'i'm just gonna continue training my control over my chakra while waiting for the pizza.' the thought of eating pizza was enough to make a small smile bloom on his face. The memories doings no doubt.
…
He tried more times than he could count and his efforts bore fruit as he managed to keep the leaf sticking to him for 7 more seconds before catching fire. There were now numerous slight burns on his cheeks and his fingers, but all the burns were worth it as he managed to improve a lot in such a short period of time. normally students that just learned the leaf sticking exercise wouldn't be able to keep them sticking for more than a few seconds .The seven seconds that he
achieved was nothing to scoff at considering how much chakra he has and at the same time the fox is messing with his attempts. He gave himself a metaphorical pat in the back for his achievements.
He stood up, cracking his back and neck. Looking at the clock, his whole body froze. " Pizza ". He sprinted towards the kitchen, he practically teleported in front of the oven to look at the pizza.
He sighed in relief when he saw that the pizza wasn't totally burned and just charred at the crust. He supposed that was good.
Taking it out and putting it in a cooling rack. He observed it to see if any part was overly burnt and he softly smiled when he saw none.
One thing though, he took notice of the change in his emotions. Before earlier today, he would've shouted profanities when he saw the pizza burned, but he didn't.
' it's as if my previous memories have overtaken Navi's, but that's ridiculous considering how much longer he's been alive compared to me. Sure there's a little change in my attitude and the way I act but there's no major change that I've noticed.' he has a pensive expression on his face while sitting on a chair in front of the counter where his pizza was resting.
' and then there's the little episode I had earlier. Those things really makes me believe that the two memories in my head is *fighting* over who's gonna be the dominant one. And mine is the one winning. Either way, both is good and there's really not much downside if Navi's memories won, he's a decent guy from what I saw from the memories. He has good friends, he likes to avoid violence as much as possible and he cherishes his brother so much that it almost reminds me of itachi, now that I think about it. The only problem is that he's a closet degenerate. And not the normal one. He likes feet for some reason and has a spot for armpits… he's weird… oh yeah he has a thing for milfs and just middle aged women in general.'
'anyways moving on the pizza has already rested enough,' he sliced it into 6 large pieces and put it in a plate before heading to the couch. He turned on the TV to watch whatever is on it.
-line-
A good 20 minutes later, there's only 3 slices left and Naruto was sitting there bored. He's already full and there's nothing else to do. He doesn't want to prank' because 1 - there's nothing he could gain from it, 2 - having Navi's memories made him think clear and not like a child that seeks attention, and three he realized that instead of pranking them and not gaining anything, he could train and be stronger instead. Hes physically strong enough to backflip from ground to a roof of a small house and jump through the rooftops of buildings with no problem. If he trained hard enough he'd be able to achieve his goal of graduating early at 8 years old. After graduating
from the academy, he'd have five years of Time to become a jonin. His goal was to become a jonin instructor by the time the rest of his batch graduate.
' tomorrow I'll start exploring this village and try to see if I can see a konoha Shinobi perform wall sticking and water walking. If I can do that, I'd be able to train without arousing suspicion. Not that I'd care for their suspicion, but I'd very much like it if I can avoid as much trouble as possible before becoming a jonin.' he laid out his plans for tomorrow before a knock was heard from the door.
' oh great, the old man really did come' he closed his eyes and did a mental eye roll. 'naruto childish mode on, haaah' *sigh*
"Coming!"he shouted while running to the door.
When he opened it he saw the person he was expecting.
"Jiji" Naruto greeted with a smile. " Why are you here?" He asked with a confused look on his face.
"Oh? You don't want me here Naruto-chan?" The old man replied with a question while having a faux hurt tone and a sad frown.
" No no no! Not that! I'm just wondering!" Naruto quickly denied, his hands waving in front of him and shaking his head vigorously.
The old man smiled before ruffling his hair " I'm just messing with you, can I come in?"
" Yep " the blond replied, popping the P, opening the door wider to let the old man in. The interior of his apartment is tidy and clean. Unlike most would think. He may be a goof but he didn't want to live in a room filled with critters.
" Do you want food, Jiji? I just finished cooking" Naruto asked
The old man got a bewildered look on his face. He didn't know Naruto could cook. So he simply said. " I didn't know you could cook. And sure I'd like some"
"Of course I can cook Jiji! I'm not an idiot y'know!" He defended with his signature verbal tic showing.
The old man simply chuckled and walked towards his living room.
When he arrived, the frost thing he saw was the plate with food on the table. beside it was a pitcher filled with cold water, a ketchup bottle and what looks like a hot sauce. On the floor was
a pile of leaves some charred but most were normal green. There also seems to be ashes beside the pile. The tv was playing a show but he chose to ignore it.
On his side Naruto was looking sheepish while scratching the back of his head " please ignore the mess. I was trying the leaf sticking exercise earlier and the ashes were from the leaves that I used. They almost immediately burn after I try it." He explained before the old man could ask.
"Anyways just sit there old man, and eat the food! I already ate so you can eat all of it." He suggested, smiling.
"Well don't mind if I do"
"Thanks for the food" Hiruzen said, clapping his hands together.
It took several minutes to finish the three large slices of pizza, he and Naruto talked about mundane things and other more important stuff like his thoughts on the academy and his progress with the leaf sticking exercise. He became amazed at how much he's progressed in his first day of trying said exercise and even even complimented Naruto on it. Prompting a genuine smile to appear on the blond's face.
The food was delicious and he wondered where Naruto learned how to make it. He'd love it if he could have it for his meals also.
Now though he wanted to ask a more serious question than before, an ANBU reported to him that they saw Naruto crying on the playground earlier today. He's asked them to inform him whenever Naruto got home to visit the blond boy and check on his condition to see if he is fine.
He turned to Naruto with a serious expression and asked " say Naruto-chan, have you been feeling alright lately?"
He hummed before answering, looking the old man in the face"Hmm, oh yes I've been alright Jiji. Just a had a few headaches but I'm alright." With a questioning expression, he asked " why d'you ask Jiji?"
" Someone told me that they saw you crying on the playground earlier. I got worried so I came to check on you to see if you're alright. Are you sure that's just a headache? Or do you want me to accompany you to the hospital." The aged hokage didn't buy Naruto's answer but he decided to just let it go. If the blond didn't want to tell him it's alright.
Naruto blinked for a few seconds before answering." I think I'm good,Jiji."
Hiruzen nodded before he said '' well if you say so, I'm gonna go now."
He turned to leave and before he exited the door, Naruto asked him something that he's already asked for many times. And he looked at Naruto through his shoulder
"Jiji, who are my parents?" He asked, looking the old man in the eye. A serious expression on his face. He already knows who his parents were thanks to the memories but he wanted to hear it from the hokage's mouth; this will be the last time he'd ask the hokage about this.
The old man just sighed looking at Naruto through his shoulder before turning around to face him.
" Didn't I Tell you before? Although it's been quite some time now-" that's all he has to hear, he proceeded to ignore the old man and interrupted him." that's not it, old man.who are my parents? Please tell me" he pleaded, he's hoping that the old man will finally tell him and that unlike in the memories he'd actually tell him who they were right now. He could understand the old man hiding his father's identity to him, it's logical. But his mother? No, there's no reason to hide her name from him. He could've told him in the 'anime' but he didn't. He wouldn't become even more of a target than he already is… being a jinchuriki and all, and almost all the populace of the village knowing it, knowing his mother's name wouldn't paint a larger target on him. He already gave him the uzumaki last name anyways, so why hide his mothers name?
Hiruzen's expression turned serious and he said "there's no use asking for it now, it wouldn't bring back the dead anyways" he once again turned to leave but he froze when Naruto said two specific names.
" Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato… that's their name, right?"
-End-
Navi: ohhhhh boy the plot thickens ! what would happen next? you ask? I don't even know myself.
