Yada-yada-yada. I don't own nothing we all know that, cuz if I did, Naruto would have realized the absolute KINK feast that shadow clones bring to the world... at least Anko can fix that for him soon enough.

Anyways, questions, comments, concerns, ideas, critiques, anything really, would be much appreciated.

Oh, and if you see something you don't like PLEASE, tell me why, what could have better happened/not happened/changed.

I get it, sometimes I get lost in the sauce and write something that doesn't make sense coming from a certain character, so I'm gonna put it out there that if it does happen, it's up to all of you sexy people to say some shi like "AYO REF, THAT'S ACROSS THE LINE-" shiz you feel me?

-Cheeks out

*Knock Knock*

"Come in."

The old and grizzled voice of the Hokage bled through the door belying his tired appearance. The wrinkles on his face however seemed to lessen quite a bit when his gaze landed on the blonde warden.

"Ah, Naruto. I'm glad you came so quickly."

his eye lit up with warm during his declaration, yet, there seemed to be a bit of melancholy, a look of guilt , and a hint of reminiscing playing through his emotion-

'WHAT THE HELL?! HOW CAN I TELL WHAT HE'S FEELING!?!?!?'

A strange look must have appeared on his face because the old man called out to him.

"Something the matter, Naruto-kun?"

Unable to respond he just sat there amount and debated... whether or not he should tell his Jiji about this. After all, what if Jiji gets scared that this is something the fox is doing to control him and throws him away...

He couldn't have that.

"I think the food I ate this morning was bad since I'm starting to get a stomach ache. Must've been why it tasted funny..."

Naruto drawled on trying to lead the Hokage away from his new profound revelation about a new skill that would surely be useful.

"Ah, and it probably doesn't help about what happened last night."

An uncomfortable silence rang through the air at that remark. Naruto could feel the worry and very clear guilt the old man was feeling.

"Yeah... is-... is it true, Jiji? Am I really the demon fox?"

His surrogate grandfather stood up quickly, rushed to Naruto and gave him a hug, one the jinchiriki gladly reciprocated because it felt nicer than any words could explain.

"No, Naruto. You are a hero, chosen by the Yondaime Hokage to be its jailer, protecting the village from its vengeful wrath. Just because a kunai is sealed into a scroll, doesn't mean that scroll is a kunai. It simply contains the kunai. Nothing, more."

The old and weathered Shinobi release the boy looking at his reaction, praying he understood and that it wouldn't take him into some kind of depression, or something worse.

"Mm... but why... me? I'm just an orphan that has no one to look after him. The villagers all hate me because they think I'm some big bad evil fox thingy, I suck at taijutsu, my genjutsu is the worst like, ever, and I can't even do a stupid Bunshin(Clone) correctly!"

The guilt he felt the old man start feeling when he said orphan was astronomical. Completely overshadowing everything else he was feeling, by mountains and valleys.

'Does, Jiji know... something my parents?'

Naruto felt for the first time apprehension of his bond with the Hokage. Think about it.

He's a nameless orphan picked up from nowhere to be a village not-so-secret-secret, hero, and somehow instead the villagers hate him?

What about the groceries being way too expensive? Why doesn't he just by some for him, or just take his allowance and do it?

what about his apartments cold water, the teachers at the academy that he now knows clearly where hindering his growth with teaching him incorrectly?

What about the faked grades, the beatings the villagers used to give him as a small child, the cold nights because his heater was turned off, the terrible things he did to... to survive?

Did the Hokage, the supposedly strongest and smartest man in the village really care for him if he, knew all of these things and still did nothing?

He should find ou- no, he will find out.

"Ne, Jiji... there was something else Mizuki-teme told me about when he told me about the Kyuubi. He told me, about my parents..."

The room seemed to lower a few degrees before disappearing quickly. However not so quickly as for Naruto to realize that the Hokage was mad then, sad, horribly sad, the guilt even worse then earlier by far, and resignation.

He made a hand seal, three people appeared from out of nowhere before walking out the door, and as soon as the double doors closed, seals crawled along the walls like faint whispers in a dream.

"Naruto I-, you have to understand." The old man started off.

"Your father, he had made enemies through out the lands. Iwa especially, as the Yellow flash of the hidden leaf, has left scars deep and wide in their history. Your father was one of the most powerful Shinobi to have ever graced the lands. Not even the Shodaime has done the things your father has, although still monstrously powerful and could probably beat your father."

Naruto was frozen stock still because, the man he looks up to, the man he said he would one day surpass and beat, the man he strived to be better than... was his own father.

Sure his father sealed this beast inside of him leaving him to this awful fate but... the fact his father believed in him so much, he sealed the most powerful being in existence into him, and believed he could tame it, hold the calamity in him, and not succumb to his cruel destiny...

'You could have at least left me with your really cool jutsu tou-san. *sniff* So not cool dattebayo.'

"So it was true..."

'AND HOW DID NOBODY NOTICE?! I'm literally almost a carbon copy of him! My blazing blue eyes, bright sun blonde hair? Is my village filled with idiots?'

"And that means my mother really was...?"

The Hokage nodded solemnly.

"Yes. She was Kushina Uzumaki, the second and previous holder of the Kyuubi, dubbed the red hot habanero, sealing grandmaster even better than your father, and last Princess to the Uzumaki."

'HOLY SHIT I'm A PRINCE?!'

Yes, out of all the things he was told so far, that shocked him the most. Naturally these things had to be put in a prioritized order.

"Jiji, why did you hide it from me though?... I could have kep-t... Oh."

The professor looked at him sagely and nodded profoundly.

"Indeed, oh. As much as I wanted to tell you Naruto, I didn't have reason to believe I could trust you with that information. Although, now that you've gone through something so serious at such a young age, I can see it's forced you to mature quicker than any child should have to so I believe that I can trust you to not let a word of what we spoken about leave this room."

Naruto nodded seriously. He wanted to know more and he wanted to know, if they left anything behind for him.

"Did they leave anything for me behind Jiji? Before they died?"

The old man had a kind and forlorn smile cross his lips.

"Yes. I'll give you the letters they wrote to you. Your parents were nothing short of the greatest fuinjutsu masters this village has ever seen as, they won't open for anyone... but you."

There was definitely an invasion of privacy involved somewhere here but, they're shinobi, they don't get privacy.

After a few seconds of opening a secret compartment on the Hokage desk pulling out two scrolls, and two letters, Hiruzen was once again sitting in front of Naruto.

Naruto looked at the crisp, and clean, handwriting that seemed almost unnatural that said "To: Naruto". The small blood splatters on them were gut wrenching but he soldiered on.

He grabbed the one that had "From mom" written right above it. Slowly he mad for the sealed lip and gave it a tug. He felt a small sensation, one he recognized from his own seal rarely, of having his chakra being symphonies.

it was so minuscule he would've had an impossible time even telling it happened had it not been for his hyper aware state due to adrenaline.

No noise was made as the piece of parchment left its previous attached self opening up and allowing for Naruto to pull out a horizontally tri-folded paper.

He quickly wiped his sweaty palms on his thighs and lifted the top fold. Slowly he started reading the last words he would ever see from his mom.

To my dearest Naruto,

Hi, my baby boy! Oh I can imagine how handsome you must be huh? I can already tell with your blonde hair and blue eyes like your fathers you'll be a lady killer in no time!!

BUT, you must remember you can't be a manwhore! I don't mind having a few daughter in laws seeing as how you'll have to participate in the CRA but only have sex with someone you love and will marry, so good luck my Naru-kun!

Remember to always help old ladies across the street, make sure to avoid black cats, and if you ever get lost on the road of life just take a left hand turn twice, one right, left again and run straight until you hit the shopping district.

Oh my baby boy... I love you, I love you , I love you, more than life itself, more than ramen, more than your father, more than anything. You are my starry night, my shinning and bright sun, my amazing Naruto Uzumaki, the one who will become the strongest Shinobi of them all!!! §(.)§-V

I am very mad that your father chose to seal the Kyuubi into you and quite frankly, he's going to sleep on the couch in the after life for one-thousand years. AND NO RAMEN FOR HIM FOR TEN-THOUSAND YEARS!

Well my wonderful and amazing boy, I have to go, gotta save the village and all that... againnnn huuu seriously I need a pay raise!

I love you Naruto, and I can't wait to see just how much of an amazing man you'll become one day. Down at the bottom of this letter is the entirety of the Uzumaki inheritance, including our slush funds and assets.

I love you, jaa ne!

P.S: Do your laundry regularly, don't drink alcohol, have lots of friends, and kick all the other Genin asses in the Chuunin exams! \[~•~/

P.P.S: Tell old man Sarutobi that if he doesn't hold up his end of the deal I'll bust his nuts once he gets to the after life

"Well Jiji I can't say I feel sorry aha,ha...*dripdripdrip*."

Tears of scolding heat and soothing coolness drenched his cheeks with a drop or two catching the paper in his hands. He silently wept to himself and the old man let him.

It was good to let this all put in his own way; he would be there for the young hero once he was done cry and ready to talk if needs be.

With gentle grace he slid the letter back into its envelope and sealed it once more before slipping it into his orange jumpsuit. He grabbed the next letter that had "From dad", written under who it was addressed to.

Once again, the same thing happening as the last letter, the envelope opened revealing a paper folded the same way as the other one. This time however once he opened the letter he was frozen stock still.

To my son, Naruto Senju Uchiha Hyuuga Namikaze Uzumaki.

Well Naruto, I'm sure you have a lot of questions with your name and it's for a good reason. First of all, I will tell you you my full name, it is Minato Hyuuga Uchiha.

I simply took on Namikaze as my last name since well, I'm sure you get what would have happened had it been revealed who my parents where.

Izuna Uchiha was my grandfather, Madara Uchiha's brother. Yes your great-great-uncle was Madara Uchiha. Your grandfather was Haruto Uchiha, a scumbag who raped your grandmother Emiko Hyuuga, who later gave birth to me.

She died at child birth leaving me to be found, with an ungodly a stroke of luck, by one Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage.

Anyway, having said that, you now know you have very special blood from my side, but your mother side is just as special.

Her grandmother was one Mito Uzumaki, and her grandfather was Hashirama Senju. Her mother was Akabana Senju, sister of Tsunade Senju, and her father was Koda Uzumaki, the son of Ashina and Yui Uzumaki who both lived for nearly a century, before their deaths during fall of Uzushiogakure.

I won't say to much more on this paper as many more things will be revealed to you when you read the scrolls sealed into this paper. In it is my final rendition of the Hiraishin, as I've learned many things in the past hour that have destroyed my trust in this village.

Good luck son, and just know, no matter what path you chose, I am proud of you. I will be proud of you like no father has ever been before. Go show the world son, just what the hell you're capable of.

P.S: Your mother said it's a thousand years of couch time, and ten-thousand with no ramen didn't she?

He gave a short snort at the end remark, which, notably settled his nerves. He folded the paper neatly not giving anything away, and slid it back into its envelope.

"Haaaa... I need some ramen..."

His response seemed to be amusing as the Hokage started to chuckle lightly at his antics.

"Well Naruto-kun, that can be arranged, although you'll have to go by yourself today as I have a foe that has bested me time and time again... Paperwork."

Hiruzen simply and quite literally spat the word out of his mouth showing his utter disgust and general otherwise smoldering hate of the word and subject.

"Pfft! Hai, Jiji. I would love to get something to eat because I'm starving."

"Hah, alrighty then Naruto boy. Here's money for lunch, and make sure to keep up your training Naruto. You have a Legacy rivaled by few enough to count on one hand."

'Ha! You don't even know the half of it old man, dattabayo-!'

Quickly after a hug and deactivation of the seals in the office, Naruto was left to go home on his own... except now he could feel the suppressed emotions of some people following him.

There was one though he almost didn't notice at all. It was so, weak, so... devoid of anything. It felt like a rock at the bottom of the river bed, cold, smooth, no jagged edges or any thing to change its appearance, and unnaturally hollow.

It made Naruto shiver when he focused on it and he tried his absolute best to avoid looking in its direction.

'Just ignore the freaky ANBU... yeah, creepy as hell people that are following me.'

Once at Ichiraku ramen, Naruto made a Kage bunshin(Shadow clone) in the back out of view of his creepy stalkers. He needed to read those scrolls his mom and dead left him, they were the only things he had left... he couldn't stand waiting any longer.

He used a Henge(Transformation), turning into a very plain man with black hair, brown eyes, about 5'8(~154cm), wearing colors that would disappear in a crowd easily.

He made his way to the exit after taking a toothpick from a counter in the back, and started to pick his teeth. Once he walked out of the building he let out a hefty burp covered by a hand.

He looked around making sure nobody saw that and ducked his head walking off towards the shopping district in slight embarrassment.

After about five minutes of walking he extended his search of looking for those creepy stalking ANBU. He didn't feel their emotions but was given a nasty headache from all the bits of emotional feedback he was getting from the hundreds of people that he could sense.

He stopped his sensing by thinking of turning off a switch. It worked so he saw nothing wrong with his method although it seemed a little, not all that cool?

Anyway, having said that, he made his way to the forest next to the one that had all the death and warning signs. He would gladly take those warnings... for now, besides, how was the strongest ninja going to be scared of a little forest?

Once he arrived at the forest he put his, by far, favorite hand sign up, with his two forefingers of both hands together in a cross-

"Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multi-shadow clone jutsu)!"

*POOOFFFFFF*

Once the obscene amounts of smoke cleared, well over nine-hundred clones were now present in the field.

"Aright ladies, let's do this!"
