Previous:

Another annoying thing is that Sandaime, the Third Hokage, I am sick of that grandfather act that he is playing, if he is really feeling granfatherish, he would take me in or let me be adopted by good people. For now, I am playing along, and being the street rat they expect me to be. But my time will come.

2 Let's Talk.

Slowly I got the bigger picture of this world, it had Magic at first until that alien woman messed around with that Chakra fruit, and Chakra overpowered Magic in this world. The clans that already had certain traits had those traits amplified, people forgot about Magic and embraced Chakra in all its facets, and ignored where their power originated from.

That in itself is stupid, Kaguya just overwrote the clan's history with her own version of it. Truth is I can't put a date on when she appeared on this planet, nor that I can put an age on her sons and grandchildren. I didn't pay that much attention to those episodes, I just viewed them to get past my boredom.

Another reason for my lack of a decent time frame is those blasted flashbacks in the anime, they reveal a lot of the histories of the countries but don't put an exact date on them. The memories I show to Kurama are a poor reflection of the real anime at best, I missed some key episodes because the ones I viewed were bootlegged from the official site and of poor quality. Yeah, I didn't want to pay to see some cartoons when they were available for free.

That they stuffed my PC with worms and viruses was something I found out afterward. That was also the time I found out about the schemes of those anti-virus programs, I remember that from when I bought a license and installed it. The first thing it did was a scan, it reported: [We fixed five viruses, and detected two thousand threads to your account, to fix this you need to upgrade your subscription.] I upgraded my subscription three times and it still found new treats that needed upgrades. It is a fucking pyramid heist… I am in bloody Naruto, why am I getting myself worked up for it anyway?

Ah, fucking Kaguya and her Zetsus, no, her clan when they are coming to harvest that Chakra fruit! But first I have to survive all the bullshit in between. There are events that I can prevent from happening, the Uchiha massacre for instance, that will set Danzo back a few years. Changing the outcome of Hinata's abduction is another, Snakeface Orochimaru muzzled is another priority.

Most of all it needs exposing Danzo and his sabotaging actions. The question is: how do I expose them? I can hardly let them see the anime like I did with Kurama, pretending to be a seer won't do either, they have some nasty guys that can lobotomize my brain to get my secrets out. I can't guarantee that my defenses will hold against them, cause my brain is only three years old.

In fact, my countermeasures are eliminating the proof of his foul play, all the orphans are well taken care of and I am a healthy boy who has a lot of goodwill from his caretakers. My only option is that I can only expose the schemes he has against his other targets.

Well, I have a year to prepare for it. It is time to learn how to unlock and use my Chakra. An Imperio at the strongest Root in the orphanage was enough to let him unlock my Chakra coils and let him report it as a natural activation due to the Fox in my belly. That increased the number of Roots that were shadowing me, although with their slave tattoo disconnected they were not that fanatically loyal anymore and skipped reporting a lot of my actions outside of the orphanage.

I used my main caretaker as my informant when he reported the visit of the delegation of the Kumogakure, I used him to drop a message to warn the Hyuga clan head of the abduction of his daughter and the trap to get the Hyuga eyes by the Hidden cloud village, I signed as a friend. That is all I could do to prevent it, as a three-year-old, I could not stay out at night, not with an Anbu and four Roots breathing down my neck.

My caretaker reported a few days after that the abductor was caught in the act, and delivered to the Hokage. The treaty was signed and the village got some extra benefits due to the embarrassment of the incident. Well, that got Hinata sorted out.

Who said that to train Chakra control you need to stick some leaves on your forehead? Yeah, I thought so too, I stuck them on my body under my shirt, not that it could fool my guards, but it would look silly if I walked through the village with a leaf stuck to my head. Currently, I am on five leaves and working on the sixth one to have them permanently stuck on my body.

My first snag in my training was when I tried tree walking indoors, I managed two steps up and fell down with the plaster from the wall stuck on my feet. I used a Reparo to make two tiny footprints go away. I moved my training space to the attic and used the support beams to walk on. Once I had it learned to perfection, it was time to get into action.

On a secluded corner of the attic, I transfigured some broken furniture into a big trunk, made it a permanent transfiguration, and put some serious wards around it. I opened the trunk and created a pocket dimension inside, expanding it as big as I could. The result was a space of 600ft square, before the entrance of the trunk I made a small zone that can't be monitored, there I used Naruto's cheat. Shadow Clone Jutsu for the win! It took me a few days to get it right with the help of the anime, I only had a few minutes to try before my guards got worried, but I got it.

My training sped up from that day. Each morning I passed my trunk and delivered two Clones, that was my maximum for the moment, I could make more clones, but my brain could not stand the stress when they dispelled at night. My clones have one flaw, they can't use Magic so they are limited to using ninja techniques. Not that my Magic needs to be trained, I just can't use them in battle that way.

My caretaker taught me the basics of shuriken and kunai throwing, and basic Taijutsu, enough to get me started in my pocket dimension. Some days I let a clone outside so I could improve my Pocket dimension, a small lake to practice water walking, moving targets for shuriken and Kunai practice. A corner room with increased gravity is a great aid, but it is only useful if I go in there myself. Either way, I advanced with big steps.

My fourth birthday passed by, and it was time to wake some sleeping giants. I got rid of my guards by letting them watch a clone while I turned myself invisible and walked to the Nara clan. I passed the guards at the gate by making me soundless and odorless, with a small decoy to the right, I slipped in on the left. I removed my spells at the door of the clan leader and knocked on the door.

When a female opened the door I said: "Gather the clan heads, we need to talk."

The woman raised her eyebrows: "Oh? We do? Who wants to talk to the clan heads if I may ask?"

I grinned: "A big Fox said to me that I need to talk to them. You see, he is living inside of me and is not happy with the way the village is treating the clans and me."

The woman paled for a moment, then she said "Come in, I will lead you to my husband."

A few moments later I faced the Nara Clan leader, Shikaku Nara, he observed me for a bit and asked "What do you have to say to us? First of all, are you the fox or the boy?"

Autch! I need to adjust my story a bit, they won't believe a kid, and certainly not a Fox that rampaged through their village, ah! I drag my Dad in it, they will swallow all the bullshit I feed them.

I shrugged: "Mostly the boy, partly the fox, and a tiny part my Dad, you remember my Dad, don't you? The one that is deeply disappointed by this village. Now gather the clan heads or I open the cage."

"You would do that? Releasing him inside of the village?" asked Shikaku worried.

"The last time we went outside the village and look how well that went. You threw my son away like a piece of trash! Gather the clan heads of the major Clans NOW!"

Will he see through my deception? Nah, I am acting like an adult, that is enough to convince him, it is better that he thinks Minato is talking than an angry Fox. It worked, ten minutes later all the clan heads were gathered in the meeting room, all of them facing me, studying me.

I started: "First of all, do you want the Anbu and Root listening in or do you want me to shut them out?"

Fugaku asked: "Can a kid like you do that? I like to see that, shut them out, child."

I shrugged and activated the wardstones I put earlier in the corners with a wave of my hand, "Go outside Uchiha Clan head and see for yourself."

Unbelieving, he left the room to come back a moment later, "How? This is not Chakra related, Hiashi san, did you see?"

Hiashi shook his head: "As you said Fukagu san, there was no Chakra involved. We might as well listen to what that child has to say first."

I glared at him and said: "That child had to fight for his life from his day of birth! It is only thanks to the sliver of my consciousness that I left behind in my son that he survived! Is this the thanks I get from this village? My Kushina and I died to protect this village and you reward that by treating my son as a piece of garbage? Is there no end to your stupidity?"

I looked at everyone "You all are being fooled by your leaders! Every one of you! Let me start with the Clan of my wife, the Uzumaki clan. They were loyal allies of Konoha, but when they were attacked by three villages, Konoha deliberately waited too long to send forces to help them, it just happened that they were in time to collect most of the loot. Don't pretend it isn't true, I saw the orders myself."

I shook my head and continued: "Do you wonder why there isn't a Senju Clan head here? Because they got almost completely wiped out in the second war, supposedly by faulty intel. Tell me Shikaku san, most of the intelligence is done by the Nara clan, was the intel faulty, or was it the delivery of the intel? This is the second Clan that bites the dust."

"The Hatake Clan had one great member, the White Fang, he put the life of his team before the mission and a smear campaign against him caused him to suicide. That is three."

"Who do you think started the third war?" I asked, "Yes, it was this village, no matter how hard you deny it, it was us. Or more particular, it was Danzo. Not only did he send his Root slaves out to kill so-called potential treats of other villages, he also was responsible for the Senju clan and the White Fang's deaths."

I had their attention now, "The release of the Nine-Tails was done by a student of mine who was reported killed in action, Uchiha Obito, he was responsible for it all, although he said that he survived thanks to Uchiha Madara. His Mangekyo Sharingan is Kamui, it allows him to pass through solid objects and go to another dimension."

That got them speechless, did they really think the Uchiha clan was responsible for setting that fox free? How dense can you be… OK, you got me there, they are that dense.

I pointed at Fukago: "The fact that a Uchiha was responsible for setting the Nine Tails loose was an opportunity for Danzo to do his second slander campaign. He, with the help of the village elders and his Root slaves, is responsible for the hate everyone feels against the Uchiha Clan. He hopes for your clan to revolt against that treatment and gives the Hokage a reason to eliminate your Clan. He will collect your eyes, of course, they can be implanted in others, more loyal to Danzo. That is Clan number four."

Now I have to scare the others enough to form a front instead of cutting their losses, if only the Uchiha clan gets the blame they will happily stay on the side and let it happen.

I pointed to Hiashi: "Your clan will probably be next on the list, your eyes are too valuable to ignore, that and the stupidity of your clan's policy. The ones that allow that cursed seal to be put on members of the branch houses must be sealed too. Allowing the use of that cursed seal is enough reason to hate you, and I bet that your relatives all hate you, you idiot! You are treating your family like slaves, and that will kick you in the ass someday."

Is it true? Who cares, that clan is known for its arrogance and needs to get a spoon of reality through their throats. I never got that curse seal anyway, if only the main family is without one that means everyone has that Curse Seal except three or four, Grandfather, father, and child. The rest are branches. There is no logic about that spell at all.

I took a deep breath and said: "Another problem is Orochimaru, he is a brilliant scientist, but his methods are getting out of hand, after the attack, he and Danzo were selecting children in the orphanage they put me in, the next morning six babies were gone. Orochimaru is using Konoha children to experiment on, and Danzo is selecting the best orphans for his slave army."

Now for the finale: "And most of it is known and approved by the Hokage, all to keep his power. They call my boy a demon in this village, if not for my hidden powers I would have starved, and fed just enough to keep me alive. Tell me, is this the will of fire? Get too strong and you will be killed? Don't agree with them and your clan gets shoved aside? I bet they are both outside trying to listen in."

Fukagu was the first to react when I stopped my sales pitch, "Danzo is putting the blame on us? How dare he! I will gather my forces and show him!"

Shikaku Nara commented: "And that is what he is waiting for, Fukagu san. What we need is to form one front to demand justice. Not only for us but for Naruto too, you all heard the rumors and the villagers' whispers about him. My father explained to me the Senju massacre in the second war, our intel was correct, The Hokage made it an S-class secret to prevent us from losing the war. The suicide of the White Fang is suspicious in my opinion, he must had help to suicide, some drugs, or a small genjustsu like that. The question is what are we going to do with this information? As Naruto said, Hiruzen and Danzo are probably outside waiting for this meeting to end."

Shibi Aburame, the insect Dude said: "They are outside, with the complete Root and Anbu force."

I commented: "No, with the number of Root Danzo told the Hokage he has at his command. He has probably doubled that number. I suggest you tell him you discussed my treatment in the village and the orphanages, every time they treated me nicely they transferred me to another one, I am in my fourth orphanage."

Inoichi Yamanaka said: "Invite both in and discuss Naruto's situation. He is the son of Minato, that is reason enough to gather the clan Leaders for a meeting."

Shikaku Nara nodded, "I will ask them in."

Two minutes later, Sandaime and Danzo sat at the table, Hiruzen took the lead and asked: "Can you explain the reason for this secret meeting? Is it something I am not supposed to know?"

Before anyone could answer I spoke up: "I am the reason, Hiruzen Saratobi, and the treatment this village is giving my son. Yes, I am a sliver of my consciousness in my son's body for this reason alone. How dare you and Danzo treat my son like this! Have you no shame? I gathered the clan heads to ask for help to raise my son. He is the Uzumaki Heir and you dropped him in an orphanage like a piece of garbage!"

Hiruzen paled: "Minato? How is this possible? You are dead!"

I shook my head: "Everything is possible, you fool, I sealed a bit of my soul to guide my son in controlling the Nine-Tails, I am sacrificing that time to save the life that Danzo is forcing him into. Danzo, you and those mindless slaves have to back off. What you are doing is not for the good of the village, you are a pathetic power-hungry schemer who will stop at nothing to be the next Hokage, am I right?"

Danzo scoffed: "You always were a naive fool, Minato, you don't know how the world and its politics work. That boy needs to be controlled before he sets that monster free."

I nodded: "And you are trying to force that very thing, Danzo. Just like you let your Root puppets assassinate future threats to the village and caused the third Shinobi war. Or did you think the other villages didn't know the Leaf was behind those assassinations?"

"If we did not act, they would attack us anyway with stronger forces!" said Danzo in his defense, "We would have lost that war!"

I almost shouted: "They would not have banded together against us, you idiot! You forced them to join their armies to have a chance of winning. Your actions are that of a sneaky coward without thoughts of the consequences of his actions."

I turned to Hiruzen: "I want my boy under Clan protection, and I want the slander campaign of Danzo against the Uchiha Clan to stop, the Nine-Tail was released by a rogue Nin, it was Obito Uchiha. Compensate the Uchiha Clan for the lands they had to give up so that the grabby friends of Danzo could get their hands on it. Or are you too in on this deal Hiruzen? Tell me quick, I don't have much time left and I want to leave my boy in a decent village, not the snake pit you are letting it evolve in."

Shocked Hiruzen asked: "Obito san did that? Are you certain?"

I nodded: "I recognized him, somehow he must have found out that Kakashi killed Rin and this was his revenge. I also know that Danzo is responsible for the slander against the Uchiha clan. That stops now! The Uchiha are one of the founders of this village and a mere Shimura is forcing them to rebel. Well, the truth is out, Hiruzen, or do you prefer that the Clans pack up and go somewhere else? Because that is what Danzo is working at, eliminate the Clans so he alone is in control."

Meh, let's pour some oil on the fire. Danzo can take the heat.

I turned to Danzo and glared at him: "Did you really think I would not see those slave tattoos on their tongue and not know what it represents? I am not a Fuinjutsu master, but learned enough from my Kushina to recognize them for what they are."

Is that enough dirt to stop those two? Probably not, but enough to grow up safely. Hiruzen will be pressed to muzzle Danzo. I didn't expect to solve it all in one day, but I exposed all the dirty secrets of their leaders, their actions will be under scrutiny from now on.

Shikaku Nara said: "Sandaime sama, the facts that Naruto kun presented us are serious, and we urge you to do something about it. We didn't realize the hate campaign against the Uchiha Clan was that severe. We will not allow that to continue. They are one of the most important clans of this village and don't deserve this treatment. Danzo Sama, we acknowledge the need for a secret army, but you are driving it too far. You are letting your ambitions take first place instead of the needs of this village."

Inoichi Yamanaka commented: "Shikaku san speaks for us all, Sandaime Sama, this trouble has been brewing for long enough, and Naruto kun is suffering for it. We hope you can see our point of view on this. That Minato Sama is sacrificing the time he has for his son to call for this emergency meeting would tell you enough."

Yeah! Beat him with a stick! Nope, he would not feel that, smack him with a tree trunk! Do a Puny Hulk on his ass… that reads differently than it sounded in my head. If a Hulk gets nasty on your ass, I doubt there will be something to tell the tale. It would be a hit on YouTube though.

Hiruzen Saratobi saw the signs and caved in, "We will reorganize our council, there are some flaws in it that need correcting. I will call for you in a few days. "

Before he could leave I added: "Get some clan representation on that council, Hiruzen, it is clear you are in over your head and let others like Danzo rule your actions."

And off they go! Well, not after I spammed them with listening and tracking charms, and a nifty spell on dear old Danzo, one out of Voldemort's Nasty Box. The Soul Corruption Curse, ten years of agony, starting next month. When he kicks the bucket, there will be not much soul left to go to the next adventure. How do we know? Even the paintings of those wizards died in agony, and the Ghosts of those victims were the ones that started the stereotype of the wailing spooks. A fitting punishment, even if I say so myself.

A week after this meeting, two Anbu took me to my new home, I must say that it was not a shabby apartment, the female Anbu, who was so unrecognizable with that mask and purple hair said: here is your new home, Uzumaki san.
