Chapter 1 Secrets Revealed

Kakashi was dashing tree to tree and couldn't help but frown. Granted, he did watch Naruto single handedly defeat two chunin by himself at the age of seven and possibly activated a new doujutsu. But he couldn't believe that shinobi of konoha would stoop as low to try and kill a seven year old child. Je would make sure something like that never happened again as he continued his way to his apartment.

10 minutes later...

Kakashi had just reached his apartment with Naruto sleeping peacefully on his back. His apartment was a single bedroom apartment with one bathroom and kitchen. The living room was slightly smaller than the bedroom but nice. Kakashi walked into the living room and laid Naruto on his couch, and waited for Naruto to gain consciousness.

Kakashi sighed he knew he was going to get an ear full from the Sandaime Hokage soon. Just as he thought that there was a knock at his door.

He sighed again, knowing who it was. Kakashi answered the door and showed the aged Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. Sarutobi Hiruzen was a below average stature with grey spiky hair and a grey goatee. Hiruzen was in his early sixties, but don't let his age fool you, Hiruzen wasn't named "God of Shinobi" for nothing. Hiruzen wore the standard attire of red and white hokage robes consisting of the hokage's hat with the kanji for 'third' on it and a red and white haori.

"Hello Kakashi-san," the aged hokage greeted.

"Yo. So what brings you to my humble abode Hokage-sama?" asked Kakashi with his traditional eye smile.

"Quit playing games Kakashi-san, where is Naruto-kun?" asked and irritated Hiruzen.

"Oh, he is sleeping right now on the couch. Would you like to come in?" asked Kakashi, receiving a nod in return from the aged Hokage.

Hiruzen smiled to see Naruto sleeping peacefully on the couch without a care in the world. He was happy that he could sleep so peacefully with the past day of events. Hiruzen took a seat in a chair next to the couch Naruto was sleeping on.

"So out of all places, why did you bring him here? I told you not to make contact with him until you became his Jounin sensei when he graduated from the academy. If my calculations are correct, it's early, six years early, Kakashi!" exclaimed and irritated Hiruzen as he gave the jounin a stern look.

"Well.. he's been treated like a demon for his first seven years of life, and the villagers tried numerous times to hurt the boy. Just like the past day of events where two chunin tried to kill him. I'm going to take Naruto under my wing so this will never happen again. Hokage-sama, it would be more than this village has ever done for him, and sure enough, more than you have ever done for him!" Kakashi fired back.

"What is that supposed to mean, Kakashi?!" roared Hiruzen as he stood up after that comment.

"What I mean is... Naruto has been fending for himself since he was born. He was kicked out of the orphanage by the age of five to live on the streets for months. He has been kicked out of stores because people think he is a 'demon'. And what have you done to prevent these things? NOTHING! The Yondaime and Kushina would've been ashamed of this village. If they were still alive, they would've finished what the Kyuubi started and destroyed the village for harming and mistreating their son. You could've prevented this, but you're too soft now and can't stick up for yourself against the damn villagers and council!" yelled Kakashi, losing his cool for the first time in a long time.

Hiruzen, for the first time in his life, he was speechless. He didn't know what to say. What Kakashi said was true. He knew it, Kakashi knew it, hell the whole village knew it. Maybe what Kakashi said had some merit. He looked down at the floor in defeat and sighed.

"Hokage-sama, I'm sorry I didn't -" Hiruzen raised his hand to stop him.

"It's alright, Kakashi. You're right. I guess I'm just getting too old for this. I could've done a better job of protecting Naruto. And out of the first act, I will allow you to help train Naruto. But he's going to need to know why you're going to train him. The real reason why." stated Hiruzen with his traditional grandfathery smile.

Kakashi grinned ear to ear, but not that you could tell with his face mask covering half his face. "Understood Hokage-sama!" Kakashi replied.

Curiousity getting the best of him, Hiruzen asked, "So what is this Doujutsu that Anko told me about Naruto possibly unlocking?"

"I've never seen it before until today. I think it's related to the Uzumaki from how it looks." replied Kakashi.

"What do you mean, Kakashi?" asked and interested Hiruzen.

"Well, from how it looks. Just like this insignia on the back of my jounin vest. But the only difference is the three connected tomoes he has in the middle, like a pupil. At least from what I remember, I only got a glance at it when i saw it." Explained, Kakashi.

"Really? So from what Anko told me, Naruto defeated the two chunin single handlely. Was that just a side-effect from activating this so-called doujutsu?" Hiruzen asked.

"Maybe, because from what I know, Naruto was never that fast or skilled before. His visual prowess increased significantly, his speed and strength."

Hiruzen debated for a minute or two and stood up to leave. "I'll be back in an hour. I have some things to look into." With that, Hiruzen left with a sealless shunshin.

Kakashi sat down in the chair. Hiruzen was in and closed his eyes and fell into the bliss of unconsciousness exhausted from the past day of events.

About an hour and a half later...

Kakashi was sleeping until he heard a knock at the door. Kakashi stretched his muscles and stood up. Kakashi answered, and it was the aged hokage again.

"So, did you find what you were looking for?" asked kakashi as he let the aged Hokage in.

"No, not a thing. There were no records of Naruto's doujutsu in our records. So maybe there might be some information in Uzushiogakure no Sato on Naruto's doujutsu seeming if it came from the Uzumaki." exclaimed Hiruzen with a thoughtful look.

Kakashi cocked his eyebrow on hearing that. "But isn't Uzushiogakure in ruins?" asked Kakashi.

"Well, yes, but that doesn't mean all of their records went down with Uzushiogakure no Sato all those years ago. Later, I'll send you and Naruto out to find out what you can of this mysterious doujutsu." said Hiruzen.

"And when will that be, Hokage-sama?" asked an interested Kakashi.

"It all depends when you think he is ready," replied Hiruzen with a smile.

" 'Yawn' ready for what jiji?" Naruto asked sleepily as he leaned up off the couch in a sitting position.

"Oh, look, who is finally awake. Are you feeling alright, Naruto?" asked the aged Hokage as he gave Naruto a grandfatherely smile.

"Never better, but I'm really sore for some reason, and where am I?" Naruto said as he stretched his muscles out some.

Kakashi was the one to answer that "Well, after you defeated those two chunin, I took it upon myself to bring you back to my place so you can rest."

"What are you talking about?" asked a confused Naruto until it suddenly it hit him. The past day of events was when the two chunin purposely tricked and led him into a dark and scary forest to kill him. Them explaining why the village hates him and don't want anything to do with him and being the container of the Kyuubi no yoko was the cause of it.

"Is it true... what they said? Am I the Kyuubi?" saying the last part above a whisper but both Hiruzen and Kakashi heard him.

"It is true that you are the container of the kyuubi but not the kyuubi itself, Naruto. You can't let what they said affect you, Naruto, because it is not true. They are weak minded fools if they can't tell a boy from the kyuubi. And Naruto, you don't have to worry about them anymore either." finished Kakashi as he put a hand on his shoulder.

"How do you know me, and how do you know that?" asked Naruto with a confused look.

"Well, you know me as Kitsune when I was in anbu, but my friends call me Kakashi." Kakashi said with his traditional eye smile.

Naruto examined kakashi for a minute 'spikey grey-silverish hair, check. Lazy demeanor, check. Kitsune mask on the table, check. Yep, that's kitsune, alright.'

"Ok, but how do you know that they won't try anything else or even the villagers?" asked Naruto with a scared look in his eyes.

"Well, because I am going to take you under my wing and train you in the shinobi ways, isn't that right, Hokage-sama?" asked Kakashi with his eye smile, never leaving his face.

The aged Hokage sighed and felt another headache threatening to split his head for the hundredth time that day."Yes, that is true. So what do you say, Naruto?"

"That would be awesome... But why? Why would you want to train me?" asked Naruto questionably.

Kakashi looked over to the aged Hokage and received a nod answering his question before he could ask.

"Well... I promised your..." Kakashi hesitated before Naruto asked. "Who did you promise?" Naruto's curiousity was getting the best of him.

"Your...parents. I promised your parents I would help protect you." finished Kakashi.

'My parents, he knew my parents' thought a shocked Naruto. Naruto just sat there debating if he heard him correctly. "My..parents...who were they?"

Kakashi just stood there and looked over at Hiruzen again. Hiruzen nodded for him to continue. Kakashi took a deep breath and said

"Your mother was Uzumaki Kushina. She was one of the most fearsome kunoichi, also known as the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero. Her and your father loved you so much."

Naruto genuinely smiled, not the fake one he had plastered on his face. He showed the village but a true genuine smile. "And what of my father?" he asked.

"Your father was.. Namikaze Minato, but you know him as the.. Yondaime(fourth) Hokage." With that said, Kakashi dug in his pocket and revealed a picture of a blonde male and a red-headed woman who was pregnant looking she was ready to pop any minute. It was the Yondaime Hokage with the biggest smile, and his hand was on the beautiful red-headed womans stomach who also had the biggest smile plastered on her face.

Naruto grabbed the picture out of his hand and looked at it. There were so many emotions running through him that he didn't know what to feel. He was happy that he finally knew who his parents were but was angry for what his hero, his role model, and his own father sealed away inside him and made his life what it was today.

Tears started to threaten to fall from Naruto's eyes as he asked, "Why? Why would he choose me? Why would he use his own son to seal away the kyuubi? It has made my life miserable!"

"Minato loved you, Naruto, and so did your mother. They loved you with all of their heart, and I know it hurt Minato's heart to seal the kyuubi away inside of you. It was his only choice at the time, and it was the only way to protect the village. Minato wanted you to be seen as a hero of the village, but the villagers were so consumed by fear they saw you as the total opposite. If Minato or Kushina were still alive, they would've made this village pay for what they have done to you, Naruto." Hiruzen said with a soft smile as he looked at Naruto with concern in his eyes.

Naruto just sat there and let the tears roll down his face, letting all his emotions out he let stay cooped up inside himself for so long. After a few minutes, Naruto wiped the tears from his eyes as he sat there with a blank face.

"Naruto, maybe this will help answer some of your questions," said Hiruzen as he pulled out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Naruto.

Naruto just sat there with the unopen letter in his hands. "I need some time to myself right now," said Naruto as he stood up to leave.

"Naruto, if you want to be trained by me, meet me at training ground nine at noon in two days." said Kakashi, but Naruto didn't give an answer as he left Kakashi apartment leaving Kakashi and the aged hokage.

"That could've gone better." said Kakashi.

"Well, it wasn't going to be easy. At least he knows now." said Hiruzen as he pulled out his trusty pipe and packed it with tobacco and lighting it with a low-level Katon jutsu.

"Do you think Naruto will be alright?" asked a slightly concern, Kakashi.

"Yes... he just needs some time to himself for right now. But in time, he should come around." said Hiruzen takingna puff out of his pipe.

"I have a question, Hokage-sama?" said Kakashi, gaining the old Hokage's attention.

"And what would that be, Kakashi?"

"How would you react if you were in Naruto's poistion?" asked Kakashi.

"I don't know, Kakashi. I can honestly say I don't know. It's just like you said, Naruto lived a tough life, and this just added fuel to the fire. Naruto may not look it but he is a very mature child for his age. This is just another obstacle he has to over come emotinally. But in time, he will overcome it." The aged Hokage answered.

"So where do you think he went?" asked Kakashi.

The aged man sighed, "Where he usually goes to when he tries to clear his mind."

"And that would be?"

"The Hokage Mountain."

With Naruto...

Naruto was sitting on the Yondaimes head with the letter still unopen in his hand. Naruto sighed. He should be happy to finally know who his parents were, but he wasn't. He understood why his father did what he did but felt sad that he didn't have his mother or father to love him. That's all he ever wanted, a family.

Naruto looked at the letter that was still in his hand and decided to open it.

The letter said...

Dear Naruto,

If you are reading this, then your mother and I have passed on. I'm truly sorry that we weren't there for you. I'm sorry if you had a rough life without us. We loved you with all our of our heart and couldn't wait for you to be born. I wish we were there for you for you to love you, train you, and watch you grow into a man. But some things don't play out that way... I just hope you can find a way to forgive me for what I'm about to do.

Naruto, I don't have much time, so I'll get straight to the point. Go to the Fourths head, and there is a seal. Pour some of your chakra into it, and you will be transferred inside. There you have everything you need. All of my notes, all of my Jutsu at your desposal. Use them well.

There was a man who wanted to bring peace to this world, and maybe you would meet him one day. He asked me to bring peace to this world, but I failed. That's why I want to entrust you to bring peace to this hatefilled world, an unbreakable peace. Not by making people fear you but to show them love and compassion sometimes even to your enemies. You can do it, I know you can because you're my son. I love you, Naruto. Make us proud...

Your

Father,

Namikaze Minato

Naruto teared up after reading the letter. He folded it up and put it in his pocket. Naruto stood from where he was sitting and took a deep breath of the cool night air.

"Thank you for believing in me...Tou-san. I will make you and kaa-chan proud!"

END OF CHAPTER !

I'm sorry if this was a little rushed and a little cliche, but I didn't understand why everybody kept Naruto's parentage from him. I mean, honestly, who was he going to tell besides the Ichiraku's and Iruka. So, I decided to unveil Naruto's parents in this chapter. And this chapter would've been out sooner if my laptop didn't crash on me...but hey shit happens.

The next chapter will be longer, and it will be the beginning of Naruto's training with Kakashi. But I hope you enjoyed it and please R/R! No Flamez! Until next time!
