Naruto: The Weapon Master

Chapter 6: Second Revelations

It was a fine morning as Naruto had woken up from his bed prepared a breakfast that consisted of French toast, fresh fruit, cup ramen and orange, it took an epiphany from Kurama and Chinami make him realize that his poor lack of nutrition is the reason why he wasn't getting any taller but who can blame him when he has most of the shops refusing to sell any groceries or charging high prices when he tries to purchase from them because of their bigoted nature.

"Well, all of that will come to an end soon after Jiji and I have dealt with the civilian council today" thought Naruto as he put on his clothes.

"Indeed Naruto-sama, the time has come for those people to pay for the crimes that they have committed against you and the villagers as they were unaware that they were deceived" said Chinami.

"I agree with her kit, but I'd advice that you keep your lineage a secret until you are promoted to chunin so as to show your potential enemies that you are not to be trifled with" said Kurama from within the mindscape.

"Thanks for the advice Kurama, I'll be sure to tell Jiji after the meeting" said Naruto, after he had strapped on the two Muramasa blades unto himself there was a knock on the door. He went open it to see a female ANBU with purple hair and wearing a cat mask.

"Uzumaki-san, Hokage has sent for you to appear at his office" said Female ANBU, she then had a look of curiosity (Though it's not seen behind the mask) when she saw the swords and wondered when he took up kenjutsu.

"AH Cat-chan, it has been a long since we last met!" said Naruto happily, she was one of the people who were assigned to protect him from the mob and became quite attached to her, sometimes they would eat ramen at Ichiraku's on his birthdays along with Dog. "Just give me a moment so I can lock up then I'll follow you to Jiji" after locking the door, they were on their way to the Hokage tower. Naruto could sense that she had been taking glances at the swords on him. "It looks like you want to know about the swords which I'm possession of, right Cat-chan?" Cat was surprised for a moment before nodding to him.

"I've been wondering about those swords as they feel different from all the other blades and how you came into possession as I've never seen you practice kenjutsu ever since I had been watching you" said Cat. Naruto considered for a minute but decided to tell her as he trusts her.

"Have you heard the name Muramasa, Cat-chan?" asked Naruto, Cat's eyes widened in surprise from behind her mask as she being a sword master has ample knowledge of anything relating to swords.

"You mean those swords which once drawn will never return to its sheathe until it draws blood!? But I heard that anyone holds wields one will be cursed with bloodlust so how could you be able to wield them without being afflicted with the curse!?" asked Cat.

"That would be because I am a user of the Oboro sword style, anyone that is taught this style will develop an immunity to the curse of the Muramasa blades and can wield them without any repercussions" said Naruto, Cat was shocked at what she had just learnt as well as excited at crossing swords with someone who uses an unknown style.

"Maybe one of these days we could spar if that is alright with you Uzumaki-san?" asked Cat with a hint of anticipation in her voice.

"Please call me Naruto as I am not a fan of formalities and I would be glad to spar with a beautiful lady at anytime" said Naruto with a foxy grin causing the Kunoichi to blush from the smile and compliment. Soon they had arrived at the tower and entered the Hokage's office to see the third Hokage battling with his greatest adversary-Paperwork. "Good morning, Jiji! I'm here just like you told me" said Naruto waving to his surrogate grandfather.

"My morning isn't exactly good but I'll take what I have, I've checked through the files from Danzo's hideout and had gotten enough evidence to punish the civilian council and replace them with much better ones but I've noticed that my former teammates Homura and Koharu weren't included in the files but they were against your wellbeing" said Sarutobi while thinking deeply.

"We'll find out when we have the meeting with the council but there is something I'd like to do first, could you bring Sakura Haruno and Mebuki Haruno here?" said Naruto, Sarutobi raised an eyebrow wondering why he would want Haruno as he was aware that she is one of the people who hated Naruto.

"Of course, Cat bring Sakura and Mebuki Haruno here" said Sarutobi, Cat nodded in affirmation and Body flickered out of the office, after a few minutes she returned with Sakura and a woman who looks like the older version of her.

"Lord Hokage why did you send for me and my daughter and why is that thing here? I thought you should have killed it when we had the chance!" said Mebuki looking at Naruto with hatred in her eyes, Sakura was shocked at how her mother looked at Naruto with anger and wondered why she along with most villagers hated the blond.

"Actually, Naruto called you here along with your daughter for an important matter" said Sarutobi who was getting irritated at how she was treating the boy. The woman turned to glare at the boy.

"What do you want from me brat?!" she sneered, Naruto looked at her with sadness as he knew that all that she did was unintentional.

"I'm going to free you from the corruption of Danzo, so please forgive for what I am about to do" said Naruto, he produced two shadow clones who quickly ran at the woman and held her down, then Naruto went behind and raised her hair and sure enough the seal was present behind her neck "Jiji, Sakura come and take a look at this" the said people approached and when they saw the seal, Sakura began to cry and Sarutobi seethed in anger.

"Naruto please get rid of the seal as I don't want to see it again, it had been reminding me of the bad things I had done to you" said Sakura amidst tears. Naruto nodded and performed the hand seals causing his right index finger to glow before placing it on the seal and calling out "Uzumaki arts: Seal destruction" Just like with the seal on Sakura, the seal disappeared from the skin Mebuki clenched her head in pain as the repressed memories were released and soon after she began to cry.

"I'm so sorry Uzumaki-san, I never meant to do plan all those attacks on you! It was all done by Danzo, he wanted to turn you into his own personal weapon and the civilians were part of it. I was against what they were doing but Danzo sent his ROOT ninjas to capture my daughter and me and placed those seals on us, we were somehow aware of what we doing but couldn't stop ourselves. It was like a bad dream with no way of waking up, please forgive us for what we did!" said Mebuki kneeling on the ground and bowing to Naruto who was looking a bit uncomfortable, while Sarutobi and the ANBU nearby were getting angrier at the civilian council.

"Kit I can sense the sorrow and remorse from her, she truly didn't mean to do all those things back then" said Kurama with Chinami nodding in agreement.

Naruto walked to the pink haired woman and raised her from the ground while smiling at her. "I had forgiven the village a long time ago as they were grieving over the loss of their loved ones, plus I know that Sakura inherited her kindness from you who is her so I can't bear ill-will towards you" The two pinkettes were stunned at how kindhearted the boy is and hugged him while repeatedly saying thank you with the third Hokage smiling.

"Minato and Kushina would have been proud of their son if they were alive" thought Sarutobi "Naruto will you tell them of your secret? I hope that you are making the right choice as it's S-ranked for your protection"

Naruto took a deep breath and nodded in affirmation "I'll tell them as I can trust them and with everything they have been through they deserve to know why they were involved" he turned to the pinkette especially Sakura "Sakura-chan what do you know of the night when the Kyuubi attacked the village?"

Sakura thought deeply before answering "I was told that the fourth Hokage killed the demon and died in the battle, what does it have to do with you?" She noticed that Naruto had a look of fear in his eyes.

"Well what they told was wrong, the Kyuubi is a construct of chakra with a sense of being which can't be killed, and the fourth Hokage couldn't defeat it so he had to seal it away into baby that was born on that night. The baby whom he sealed it into was me" Sakura and Mebuki were shocked at what they heard.

"So that was the reason everybody mistreated you, they thought you were the fox reincarnated but why did the fourth seal it into you?!" said Sakura with Mebuki nodding in agreement, Naruto looked at them sadly.

"He couldn't bring himself to use the child of another parent for the sealing, whom would be better to entrust the power of the fox and the protection of the village than to his own son" said Naruto. Soon the eyes of everyone except Sarutobi widened in realization of who he truly is.

"Y-you mean that you're-"said Sakura with shock.

"Yes, my father was Minato Namikaze the fourth Hokage and my mother was Kushina Uzumaki the red death, Jiji gave me my mother's name to hide from my dad's enemies" said Naruto, when he finished talking, Sakura hugged him again while crying with her mother joining in the embrace.

"So he's Kushina-sensei's son, which must explain why Hokage-sama assigned me and Dog to watch over him, I will definitely protect your son Kushina-sensei" thought Cat.

"I won't view you any differently, you are not the fox but its container and you are the one whom I fell in love with all those years ago and I won't abandon you ever again" said Sakura with determination.

"Thank you Sakura-chan, but I need to tell you that I fall under the CRA which means that I have to take in multiple wives, already I have two girls who are in love with me but I promise to love all of you equally" said Naruto nervously, but he was surprised when Sakura kissed him on the lips.

"I don't mind Naruto-kun, I know that you have a big heart as long as they love you for who you are then I'm okay with it" said Sakura with a loving smile.

"I also don't mind as long as my daughter is happy Naruto-kun" said Mebuki with a happy smile. Cat then stepped forward before the third Hokage although he knew what was on her mind.

"Hokage-sama, I seek permission to reveal my identity" said Cat much to Naruto's curiosity.

"I grant you permission although I should have told you from the beginning but the risks were too high" said Sarutobi sadly, Cat nodded before taking off her mask to reveal a beautiful face which caused Naruto to blush from looking at her.

"My real name is Yugao, I was a genin under your mother back then and I had promised to watch over her child when she was to give birth but I didn't know that it was you so I seek your forgiveness" said Yugao but Naruto shook his while smiling.

"There is nothing to forgive Yugao-neechan as we are all family" said Naruto who was embraced by the Kunoichi.

"It seems good fortune has finally appeared to you Naruto after all the suffering you have been through" thought Sarutobi, then he coughed to gain their attention "I think it's time to deal with the traitorous civilian so let us head to the meeting room" everyone nodded in confirmation and left the office in direction of the meeting room. Soon they had reached their location and entered to see that both the Shinobi and civilian council had already arrived and are sitting on opposite sides, Mebuki went to sit at her seat at the civilian side with a grimace while the third Hokage took his seat with Naruto standing in front of the desk, Naruto took a glance at the Shinobi council to see the clan heads smiling at him with the exception of Hiashi Hyuuga and Shibi Aburame while the civilian side with the exception of Mebuki were glaring at him openly with hatred but Naruto knew their true reason aside from the Kyuubi attack.

"Sarutobi, why did you call this meeting and where is Danzo?" said Homura.

"Indeed, sometimes I think he would make a better Hokage than you" said Koharu which angered the Shinobi side and caused the Civilian side to smile.

"Naruto-sama, I sense some sort of foreign chakra upon those two which doesn't belong to them" said Chinami.

"It must me some sort of genjutsu which Danzo must have used with his stolen sharingan, I should be able to break its hold on them, thanks for telling me Chinami-chan" thought Naruto, the said spirit smiled happily at being while Kurama snorted in jealousy. Naruto began to perform hand seals which caught everyone's attention.

"What are you doing brat? Trying to destroy us like the monster you are?" said a fat councilman, Naruto ignored him and quickly dashed to the two advisors and placed an index finger on their foreheads and called out 'Kai'. Then they felt disoriented and shook to clear their heads before turning to Naruto smiling.

"Thank you for releasing us from the genjutsu" said Koharu, surprising everybody at what she said.

"What do you mean by genjutsu?" asked Shikaku Nara with the other clan heads wondering the same thing.

"It's related to why Danzo isn't in this meeting as he is being interrogated by Ibiki for his treachery and the continuation of ROOT despite its supposed disbandment" said Sarutobi shocking the Shinobi and the civilians to sweat which Naruto noticed and grinned like a mischievous fox.

"What do you mean Hokage-sama, how were you able to find out about this?" asked Inoichi Yamanaka.

"Naruto had discovered a loyalty and memory seal placed on Sakura and Mebuki Haruno which put them under Danzo's control and removed them, then he traced them back to their hideout and collected evidence which was sufficient enough to raid their base and execute them as well as detain Danzo" said Sarutobi, immediately the civilians began to protest but were silenced by the killer intent by the old Hokage but one of them refuse to back down.

"How could you believe this demon as he is obviously trying to deceive you!" shouted a certain civilian but no sooner had he spoken than his head fell from his body, everyone turned to see Naruto sheathing Mumei no Tamanoo and were surprised.

"I didn't even see him move, just how strong he has become?" thought Hiashi as he looked at the blond ninja.

"He broke the third Hokage's law, besides it won't change anything as they are all going to be executed" said Naruto which made everyone wonder what he meant "Jiji could you show them what we found?" Sarutobi nodded and passed the files to the clan heads, as each of them read the files, they began to emit large amounts of killer intent which was directed towards the civilian council, Mebuki had gotten up from her seat and stood beside the Shinobi council. It was when the civilians realized what those files were and began to shake in fear while Naruto grinned which was mirrored by Kurama and Chinami. "All I can say is what goes around comes around and it's your turn to play the piper"

"My thoughts exactly, ANBU please sent them to Ibiki and tell him that they are his dessert" (Since Danzo is the main course) said Sarutobi with a grin similar to Naruto's when he was about to plan a prank. Immediately, sever ANBU appeared behind the civilians and body flickered them away. "Now that they are gone, we have other matters to settle"

"What other troublesome stuff are we going to deal with?" asked Shikaku with a bored expression on his face.

"It is time for me to reveal Naruto's lineage after so long" said Sarutobi much to the confusion of the clan heads as they wondered what kind of lineage he has.

"What do you mean Hokage-sama? Isn't Naruto an orphan?" asked Chouza Akimichi with the others nodding in agreement.

"Surely you who are close to Minato should know that he couldn't possibly use anyone's child for the sealing aside from his own child, just take a closer look at him and find your answer" said Sarutobi, when everyone looked at Naruto and realized that if they took off the whisker marks, then they will see a mini-fourth Hokage.

"If he is Minato's son then who is the mother?!" said Hiashi standing from his seat.

"His mother's name was Kushina Uzumaki whom we all know by her nickname red death" said Sarutobi.

"You mean he is Kushi-chan's son and you didn't tell us!? Why!? We could have taken care of him!" shouted Tsume Inuzuka angrily.

"I didn't tell you all because it was to protect him from his father's enemies especially Iwagakure and Kumogakure as they would have targeted him for revenge" said Sarutobi.

"Jiji before we go any further, I've decided to keep my lineage a secret until the chunin exams" said Naruto.

"Why? Wouldn't you want it to be known as soon as possible?" asked Inoichi, Naruto shook his head in negative.

"That's because I'm not yet strong enough to protect myself as well as my precious people as I'm in the CRA, so I need to train more until then" said Naruto to which they nodded in agreement

"Very well, we won't announce your lineage until the chunin exam, you may leave Naruto" said Sarutobi, Naruto bowed to the council (What's left of them) and left with Sakura close behind. "You are definitely going to change things around here Naruto"

When Naruto and Sakura left the tower, they met Kurenai, Anko and Hinata who were on their way to the Hokage's office "Naruto, Sakura? What are you guys doing here?" asked Kurenai with curiosity with the others mirroring the same look.

"Sakura-chan and I just came from a meeting with the council which has something involving me" said Naruto, he noticed Anko frown and knew that she hated the civilian council "Let's just say that we have cleaned out the trash, I'll tell you the rest of the story at where walls don't have ears" they nodded realizing the importance of what Naruto was about to tell them. Later on, they had arrived at his apartment although they were angered upon seeing the writings on the wall like 'demon', 'monster', 'devil' and others but Naruto ignored it and unlocked his room, when they entered the room, Kurenai and Anko were surprised to see that the room was well-kept despite the outside being so appalling. "Now that we are all here, I need to tell you about my lineage" then he told them about his family and what happened on the night of the attack, they were sad at the suffering which he went and angry at the village for their cruelty to the point of wanting to be violent had not Naruto convinced them otherwise as he had forgiven them.

"Why did you stop us from giving them the punishment that they deserve!?" said Kurenai angrily as she has a small spot for children and saw this as child abuse.

"That's because they were deceived as well by Danzo as well as the corrupt civilian from the very beginning" said Naruto and he told them of what happened at the meeting, when he finished speaking he saw Anko rushing out of the door "Anko-chan, where are you going!?"

"I'm part of the torture and interrogation department so I'm heading over there before Ibiki breaks all of them!" said Anko with a sadistic grin which sent shivers down their spine. Then Kurenai turned to Naruto.

"About you being in the CRA, I'm okay with it as long as the girls are happy but if I find out that you hurt any of them, you will have a lot to answer to me" said Kurenai with a stern glare making Naruto shake in fear and nod frantically much to the amusement of Sakura and Hinata. "Alright then, we will meet up at the Hokage tower to get assigned to a mission tomorrow so don't be late" with that, Kurenai left for her home.

"It's time for us to go as well" said Sakura with Hinata nodding in agreement. Naruto then got up and kissed them on the cheek each causing them to blush.

"I hope to see you tomorrow my himes" said Naruto with a foxy grin and received a kiss on the cheek from both of them before they left. Naruto was stunned for a moment and then collapsed on the bed with a happy smile. As he got ready to sleep, he called out to his tenants "Good-night everybody".

"Good-night Naruto-sama" said Chinami.

"Good-night Naruto-kun"said Kurama with the last part being a whisper but didn't know that Naruto had heard it.

"What did Kurama mean by kun? It must have been a slip of the tongue" thought Naruto before drifting off.
