Kushina's Student is still working out I just hate Shadow clones in mass, too easy to make op Naruto, so I am putting Kanade in earlier...
I am still enjoying helping Naruto, I just needed a different place to do it.
I have firm plans, this will work better at this point in the timeline.
Kanade was stunned. Walking through the Forest of the Leaf, her heart soaring and aching from memories long past, she could never have guessed that a Mini Minato would pop out of the woods with a massive, familiar scroll in his arms. The sight stunned her, she had literally only been there to visit her sister's grave. How could she have guessed that she would see this boy, who could pass for Minato's twin.
Without hesitation, and to create good will with the Hokage, she appeared before the boy, to take the scroll from him. It was clearly theft, no one would give it to a child. However, one look changed everything. Her heart stopped, tasting his chakra and realizing exactally who he was.., she fell to her knees and wrapped her arms around the boy sobbing.
"You look like your father."
The boy screamed at her. "Let go of... father? You know my father? Who is he?" The boy almost broke as he spoke, desperate and tired from years of grief.
She nodded. "You don't know ... damn that Hiruzen, there was a reason Kushina never trusted him." Cursing, she pulled back. "My name is Kanade... your mother was my best friend, and my mentor. She was my sister in all but blood. We had an argument, before she was pregnant. I never knew you existed, I never would have left you..." She sighed. ' Your father, by looks alone, is Minato Namikaze. The Fourth Hokage and your mother was the Jinchuuriki of the Nine Tailed Fox, just as you are."
The boy froze. "I... what?"
"I can feel it, the Fox, it is in you. Sealed. I have met and fought other Jinchuuriki, the Three Tailed Turtle was un Yagura, an old enemy of mine." She led him to Tree. "Why do you have the scroll of Sealing? You must realize this is a capital offense?"
The boy frowned. "What, but Mizuki sensei said I would graduate if I took it?"
"He lied... tell you what, baby, you talk to your Aunt Kanade, tell her all about your life... and I will not only tell you about your parents, I will make you the strongest ninja. What is your dream?"
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki and I will be Hokage!"
And she started to cry once more. "Just like you rmom and dad... okay, I will make you Hokage. It is the least I could do really."
He frowned, looking almost afraid. "Are you sure I am their kid?" He sounded lost.
"Aside from looking just like your father? You have your mom's chakra. Nothing can fake that..."
And so he wove the tale of his life... and by it's end, just as she sensed two weak chakras approaching, she wanted to tear the village apart and as an S rank ninja, she could do it.
Seeing Mizuki, who Naruto had described, hiding behind a branch just as Iruka ran into their clearing she smiled. "You must be the asshole that tried to get my boy in trouble." She was there, hand in his chest. "Goodbye." And she yanked it out, all at once. Dropping the heart, she turned to Iruka. "Take us to Hiruzen, he has a lot to answer for, neglecting Naruto and never informing me that my boy was even alive."
The man shivered, eyes at her bloody hand. "Your boy?"
Naruto beamed. " My Aunt Kanade! She is an S rank ninja, as strong as the Old man she told me! She said my parents are Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki! I look just like my dad, Iruka sensei!"
The man, Iruka, gaped. "The Fourth... Kami, you are practically his double, how'd we miss that?" He turned to Kanade. "I...let's go, the Hokage is probably looking for us all. He probably saw this all with his crystal ball."
And Kanade smiled. "Lovely. He might be able to prepare for the ass whooping I am about to deliver."
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was a joyful chapter.
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
