Chapter 1
"You are a demon" Mizuki's words still rang in his mind, just as did all the other memories of that night. He had been tricked by Mizuki who had told him that if he took the Scroll of Sealing without being caught he would pass the test and become a Genin.
But he had quickly realised his mistake when his favourite teacher Iruka had come after him. Iruka had found him in the woods alone training, after scolding him for a while Iruka had quickly learned of Naruto's side of the story and knew that Mizuki was a traitor.
He had done his best to run away and was nearly caught, when he hid behind the tree, only to eavesdrop on Mizuki and Iruka's conversation, he listened on as Mizuki berated Iruka for helping a demon that had killed his parents, he had hoped that Iruka had shot back at Mizuki, to tell him that he wasn't a demon, he had hoped that at least his favorite teacher would defend him.
But at last, he found out that not even Iruka would defend him. His heart shattered at that moment to the point that he hadn't even heard the Anbu come to arrest Mizuki and escort him to the Hokage Office.
The old man was always kind to him when he had the chance, but he didn't always have time, he was busy most of the day with matters of the village. He felt the weight of the room and the soft look at him.
"Is that all you remember Naruto" Hiruzen asked in his formal Hokage voice.
"Yeah pretty much" Naruto replied in a tired defeated tone.
"I see" Hiruzen finished.
"Damm you Mizuki, he really devastated him," the Hokage thought as he eyed the poor boy.
He sighed. "I think it's time," Hiruzen said lighting his pipe with a quick application of fire style.
"Time for what?" Naruto questioned the old mans words.
"You've always asked me about your parents, isn't that right? Well i think it's time i tell you" Hiruzen stated calmly.
Naruto was taken back, this was the last thing he ever expected to hear from the old man. It was true he had always wanted to know about his parents but he had never been told anything about them, the old man had insisted that it would do him no good. Yet here he was, his heart had begun to beat faster.
"Naruto, before i tell you i must warn you, that if you decide to know, there will be hundreds if not thousands of enemies that will come after you, you will not find peace, and you will have to stop your childish games, you have to start training a thousand times as hard you do now cause what i will tell you now will change your life" Hiruzen stated in a cold hard voice.
Naruto gulped he had never seen the old man so serious before, he knew that he meant what he said, yet despite the fact that he was a little more scared that than he cared to admit, he also wanted to know of his parents, he wanted to know who they were, why they were not in his life, he wanted to know if they were alive or wether they had died, he wanted to know had they abandoned him or had loved him. He wanted, no he needed to know.
"Tell me" he finally got the words out of his mouth.
"Very well then" Hiruzen said, he quickly made a few hand seals that Naruto couldn't even see, he saw the room glow red for a quick second before it returned to normal.
"I'll begin with your mother, she was Kunoichi of Konoha and a Jinchūriki just like you" Hiruzen began.
"Jinchūriki?" Naruto questioned.
"A Jinchūriki is a person that had a tailed beast sealed inside of him, so you see Mizuki didn't really lie to you but he did twist it to his own way so that he can break your spirit" Hiruzen explained.
"Wait,wait,wait so you're saying that there are other people that have demons inside of them as well" Naruto once again interrupted, not understanding the information that he was being given.
Hiruzen was puzzled "You haven't learned of the Tailed Beasts in the academy?" he asked.
"I don't believe we did otherwise i would have known, History is a class i never missed despite the fact that Daikoku Sensei never paid attention to me" Naruto said.
His mind went back to all of the history classes that he had listened to, Naruto never seemed eye to eye with his teacher Daikoku who he considered a fat man with no knowledge of the history he was teaching, History was really a subject he excelled at heck he had learned to read just so he can read about the strongest Shinobi and the Hokage and all other heroes of the past he had also learned numbers so he can make sense of the dates, so he was always heart broken when he realised that his own sensei hated him.
He was always wrongly accused of and taken out of class for no reason, and it had come to the point where he would only go into the very back of the class a pray that he wouldn't be seen, when that no longer was an option, he started to go and simply look at the titles of the day and leave the class, he would study them on his own.
Hiruzen made a mental note to look at the curriculum of the academy.
"Well i'll tell you" Hiruzen said continuing where he left of, his voice took Naruto out of his thoughts.
"The tailed beast are 9 entities of pure chakra, that can not die nor be killed, they had been the enemy of people for thousands of years before a way of neutralising them was found, that way was to seal them in people, the one that had the beast sealed inside of him was called a Jinchūriki" Hiruzen talked calmly and slow so that Naruto could understand.
"I understand, and you say my mother was one of them, and if Mizuki told the truth i also am one?" Naruto questioned.
Hiruzen was a bit surprise by Naruto catching on so quickly, he hadn't expected the blonde to be so patient to listen.
"Yes you too are a Jinchūriki, you contained the power of the Nine Tailed Demon Fox inside of you" Hiruzen confirmed.
Naruto could swear he heard a grunt from somewhere but paid no mind to it. "So who was my mother?"
"Yes as i was saying, Your mother was a Kunoichi and a Jinchūriki she was named Kushina Uzumaki, she was originally from Whirlpool Country, where the rest of your clan comes from she came to the Hidden Leaf to become a Jinchūriki" Hiruzen told Naruto, he could see the smile on the boys face.
"So what happened to her?" he asked, wanting to know more.
"She died the night she gave birth to you" Hiruzen explained, saddened by the information he gave away.
"Oh, i see" Naruto said his voice barely above a whisper. In a silence a few tears fell from his eyes but he quickly wiped them of.
"What about my father? Is he alive? Who is he?" he asked his voice still weak.
"Your father was Minato Namikaze, the fourth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village" Hiruzen said while absorbing the facial expressions of the boy in front of him.
Naruto's face change from sad to shock to anger.
"What, how can that be? How can my own father seal the Nine Tails in me, in his own son, in his own flesh and blood" Naruto lashed out angrily at Hiruzen who stood calm.
"If you were in his position wouldn't you do the same" Hiruzen said taking Naruto back.
"What?" he whispered.
"I said, if you had no time to think about it, if you simply had to make a choice, if you were the Hokage would you seal the Nine Tails into your own son or would you simply grab a random child and rob him of his future to save your village, which would you choose?"
"...My own son" Naruto said quietly.
Hiruzen looked at him with soft eyes. Understanding him, he watched the anger wash away from his face before a small smile tugged at his lips.
"Thanks old man, thanks for telling me this"Naruto said and shocked Hiruzen by bowing his head to him.
"You don't have to thank me Naruto, i simply told you the truth nothing more" Hiruzen replied with a smile on his face, happy to see Naruto smile.
"I was wondering, did my parents leave anything behind for me?" Naruto asked wanting to know if any message or anything had been left for him by his parents.
"Yeah there are things your parents have left behind, there is the Namikaze Mansion, the land of the Uzumaki and other things which i will tell you all about tomorrow, i think it is about time you get your inheritance, for now go and rest a big day awaits you tomorrow" Hiruzen said.
"Big day, right only i wish i graduated that would have made tomorrow even better" Naruto said in a bitter sweet voice.
"Well now that you mentioned, i must tell you Naruto, congratulations on becoming a Genin" Hiruzen said with a smile taking a handband on his hand.
"What?"Naruto was left confused once again.
"I saw your bravery and i saw your part in demasking Mizuki as a traitor to the village for that reason i hearby give you the title of Genin"
Naruto took the headband a proud smile on his face, the Hokage noticed it wasn't one of Naruto's grins but it was a proud smile, he understood that Naruto was still a bit hurt by his sensei betrayal.
Quickly and silently Naruto made his way to his apartment, he took a quick shower changed into his pajamas and went to bed, thinking about all he had learned today, in a single day he went from enthusiastic about the final exam to disappointed at having failed to hopeful that he might pass only to be heartbroken again by Mizuki's betrayal and then to learn that he was the son of the fourth Hokage.
His day reflected his life, full of turbulence but he managed to get through it somehow. He thought about his life until this point it still angered him to think of the way he had been treated so far it was made all the more painful when he considered that he was basically royalty of the village. Son of their arguably best Hokage and heir to their biggest allied Clan.
Thinking of the Uzumaki clan he began wondering if there were other survivors, as a student of history Naruto knew that the Uzumaki Clan doesn't exist anymore, he had read about the Third Great Ninja War and had known about his clans downfall. He had wanted to know more since the book only mentioned it very briefly, but he was disappointed to learn that there was very little recorded of the Uzumaki History in the Village.
His thoughts carried him to sleep, following him even in his dreams. He woke tomorrow at first light. He got up dressed did his usual morning routine ate a quick breakfast a broke off into a run toward the academy, he didn't stop to look at anyone.
Silently he opened the door to his class, he took a quick glance around the room, he spotted Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, Chochi Akimichi and a few others who's names he didn't bother remembering.
Without a word he made his way towards the end of the class, he didn't want to be seen by anyone. He took a seat at the end and sat down looking outside the window.
All the way across the room a pair of lavender eyes looked at him softly analysing him. Naruto seemed unaware however. He watched the class fill up with all kinds of students.
Lastly Iruka made his way into the class. He took a look around the class and saw everyone that was supposed to be there. He also saw Naruto sitting alone at the end of the class. The Hokage had told him that he had personally passed Naruto and that he would be assigned to a team.
Iruka had not complained, he also wanted to personally congratulate the boy after the class. He cleared his head and coughed. "Well everyone welcome to your last day of the academy, for all of you that passed this day will only be a day to say your farewells to the academy and learn to which team you have been assigned" Iruka said staring.
"I would i have like to tell each and everyone of you how proud of you i am but that would take us a long time, i know that all of you have the potential to go on to do incredible things, i believe in you and so should you, you are the future of this village, never forget that" Iruka continued seeing the attention.
"Tchh half of them are only good as decoys for war, they are no Shinobi, most of these lot are cowards that would run at the first sight of blood" Naruto thought to himself, but didn't say it out loud.
"Without going any further i will tell now all of you the teams you have been assigned to" Iruka said sensing excitement.
Naruto listen carefully to the names wanting to hear his own name thought he had to wait for quite a while.
"Team 7 consists of Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha" Iruka read out.
And it was in that moment that Naruto heard what felt like a mob of angry peasants shouting and complaining about not being in the same team as Sasuke Uchiha, while Sakura Haruno shouted praises towards the Hokage, saying that even he knew of her undying love for Sasuke. Sasuke on the other hand… he ignored her.
Iruka quieted the class down and continued reading out the rest of the names.
"And that is everyone, please be here, your senesi's will come and pick you up, again i wish all of you the very best" Iruka said after he was done reading out the names, he took his papers and left the class to itself.
The students waited patiently for their sensei's to arrive and pick them up, team 7 watched the entire class leave along side their sensei's only for them to be left behind and wait for theirs.
Kiba had actually mocked them on his way out saying they had gotten a loser sensei though none of them had actually said anything it certainly seemed to turn out that way. They waited and waited and waited and still no one came.
Sakura had become restless she was trying to do anything just to not stay still. Sasuke never talked much she knew that but she had hoped that atleast Naruto would say something, it wasn't on his nature to sit still for hours yet he did.
"What the hell is going on, why is Naruto so calm all of a sudden, that idiot can never stay silent for this long" she thought to herself.
Then out of nowhere the door to their classroom opened revealing a tall man dressed in shinobi attire, his left eye covered by his headband and his lower face concealed by a mask.
"Team 7, your with me, come at the rooftop" he said looking at the three of them before he disappeared in a poof of smoke, without a word the three genin followed after him.
Kakashi watched them all sit one by one analysing each one of them carefully.
"Alright so for each of you i want a presentation things like what you like, what you do things like that ok so let's start" he said with a one eyed smile.
"Can you go first sensei to show us how to do it" Sakura asked.
Kakashi frowned a little and said "I am Kakashi Hatake, for my likes i don't really want to tell you, as for my hobby well i don't want to tell you that either, and my dream i don't think i'll tell you that either"
Kakashi looked at the sweat that formed on his students face, "All we learned was his name" was their collective thoughts.
"Now why don't you go first blonde" Kakashi said looking at Naruto.
"Alright, i'll go first" Naruto said calmly, Kakashi was taken aback a bit, from the reports he read in the academy Naruto was angered by even the slightest of insults and would have definitely retorted. "Guess that report was wrong" he thought.
Naruto thought for a second then continued "My name is Naruto Uzumaki, i am a Genin of the Hidden Leaf and i like Ramen, i don't really have a hobby and my dream is to restore my Clan" Naruto said.
He saw Sasuke turn around and look at him strangely. While Sakura had a questioning look on her face. Kakashi too was taken aback "The Hokage mentioned that he told him about his lineage but what is this dream to restore his clan" he wondered.
"What do you mean restore your Clan, you don't come from a clan" Sakura said.
Naruto looked at her with a blank expression that send chills down her spine "The fact that you don't know about the Uzumaki Clan tells me that i am right to not waste my breath on dignifiyng you with an answer" he said making Sakura look away in fright.
"The Uzumaki Clan" Sasuke made a metal note to check out what Naruto meant.
"Alright next you girl" Kakashi said trying to get Sakura's attention.
"Umm…yeah my name is Sakura Haruno, my like is…" she looked at Sasuke and giggled at herslef "My hobby is…" she looked at Sasuke again and giggled "my dream is…" she looked at Sasuke and giggled, making all the boys roll their eyes in annoyance.
"So everything about her is related to Sasuke… Great a fangirl" Kakashi sighed for what felt like the hundredth time that day.
"And lastly you" he said pointing at Sasuke.
" My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I hate a lot of things and I don't particularly like anything. What I have is not a dream, because I will make it a reality. I'm going to restore my clan and destroy a certain somebody."
"I knew it" Kakashi thought to himself.
Both Naruto and Sakura were looking at Sasuke as well, Sakura had a stupid love emotion written all over her face while looking at him, while Naruto was unreadable.
"Anyway, i guess i should now tell you about the test tomorrow" Kakashi said diffusing the situation.
"What test" Sakura was taken out of her daydreaming.
"Oh so you don't know, well you see tomorrow you will take the test to see whether you become Genin or not" Kakashi explained.
"But we took our test"
"Oh that, no that test was simply to root out the weak that didn't even deserve to be here, and also a quick fact only 33% of Genins pass this test and are assigned to a team" Kakashi said an unseable smirk evident on his face.
"Well be sure to be here tomorrow at 6 sharp, also if you want some advice don't eat anything you'll just throw up" Kakashi gave them one last smile before he vanished in a puff of smoke leaving the three genin alone.
Without a single word both Naruto and Sasuke got up and left ignoring any word that Sakura said.
Naruto made his way toward his favourite place as a child, he pushed the white curtains away and sat down on one of the chairs and waited for the old man to come and take his order, he didn't have to wait long.
"Welcome to Ichiraku Ramen, how may i help you" Teuchi came out of the kitchen and greeted his costumer.
"Oh Naruto it's you, how have you been, it's been a long time, why haven't you come to visit" Teuchi said welcoming his most regular costumer.
"I've been good, just had quite a lot to deal with recently," Naruto said with a small barley noticeable smile on his face.
"Well i hope you get through, you want the usual"
"Yes" and with that Teuchi happily made his way into the back of the shop to prepare the order.
"Kakashi seems to be a deceptive person, why would he tell us to not eat lunch, tomorrow i mean don't shinobi have to eat enough so they can be ready at all times?" Naruto thought to himself.
"Unleas he is hiding something, it most likely has to do something with that test of his, but what could it be" he held a hand to his head. Ever since last day he had found himself thinking alot more, for some reason he had began thinking almost everything that was told to him.
He was begining to distrust people, no matter how much he tried to forget the thought that if they can lie to him about his family meant they could always lie to him. He also blamed himself for never seeing the obvius clues in front of him he had seen photos of the 4th Hokage practically all his life yet despite the fact that he looked like his miniature version it never occurred to him that he could be his son.
Before long his order was delivered to him and he was taken out of his thoughts by Teuchi, but he didn't have a long to talk to Teuchi either as a person dressed all in black wearing an eagle bird mask made his way into the shop and told him that the Hokage awaited his presence.
Naruto finished his meal quickly, paid for it and left toward the Hokage tower. He enter the Hokage office and found Hiruzen in his chair smoking a cigar with his pipe.
"Ah Naruto you finally came, for a minute i thought you had forgotten," Hiruzen greeted him.
"Nah i wouldn't forget about my parents" Naruto replied.
"Well let's go then"
"Let's go where?" he asked.
"The Namikaze mansion of course" Hiruzen replied.
After a good 10 minutes of walking towards the west of the village both Naruto and the Hokage stopped in front of a massive Mansion. Naruto looked around in awe. The mansion was surrounded by nearly 2 meters of high white wall. The Hokage pushed open the gates and revealed to Naruto the incredibly big yard.
Naruto looked around, he saw just how big the area was, there were flowers trees even a small pool of water surrounded by rocks, he thought he could fill it with a thousand people and there would still be room for thousands more.
"Shall we go inside or are you satisfied already?" the Hokage asked jokingly.
Naruto didn't laugh however, he turned to the Hokage "Who has been looking after this place?" he asked.
"My Anbu have taken care of the outside of the mansion, unfortunately don't expect the same thing in the inside because they couldn't enter in the inside due to the seals" Hiruzen explained.
"I see, then how are we going to be entering" Naruto asked.
Hiruzen grinned "You are Minato's son the seals will open for you"
They made their way to the 2 giant doors of the Mansion, Naruto saw a circle like object in middle of the door with strange markings on a ripple like manner.
"A blood seal?" Naruto asked outloud.
"You know?" Hiruzen asked interested.
"Yeah"
"Since when"
"Don't know, i just know that this is a blood seal" Naruto said turthfully.
"I guess, it really is in his blood huh, the Uzumaki were masters of seals after all" Hiruzen thought to himself.
"Well then will you open it"
"Alright" Naruto said before he bit down on his finger until blood ran down his fingers, he placed his bleeding thumb in the door and followed the symbols down the ripple like object.
They both waited for a few minutes and then suddenly the doors began to open, they stepped foot inside and all lights turned on, they were both surprised to see the inside wasn't actually ruined, in fact it was in very good condition.
"How many years since this place hasn't been opened" Naruto question disbalivingly.
"It has been over 12 years since it was last opened, i don't think i have ever seen a mansion survive like this for over 12 years, i guess it most like likely has something to do with your father's seals" Hiruzen stated his theory.
"Maybe" Naruto said eying the mansion "Can you show me around, seems im not familiar with this place" Naruto stated the obvious.
"Well, fine but don't expect me to know all the places in here, i to have a very basic knowledge of this place since didn't vist all that much, plus there are secrets here that the Namikaze Clan has hid for generations from outsiders" Hiruzen replied.
"Generations?" Naruto asked.
"The surface of the mansion was build using the Wood Style of the first Hokage Hashirama Senju, while the inside was designed by the Namikaze themselves" Hiruzen explained.
"I see"
"Well come along"
Naruto and the old Hokage walked down the corridors of the Mansion, Naruto looked around seeing the pictures of wars, battles, people and creatures he had never seen or heard of. They came across sleeping rooms, toilets, training rooms, library's, dining areas, a large kitchen, a meditation room and all other necessities for a large Clan to have.
However they were walking inside a shinobi mansion and they were reminded of that from time to time when they set off somekind of trap without their knowledge but overall the escaped with all of their body parts, they arrived in front of a narrow corridor, the area was so narrow they had to walk sideways and open the door. This had been a part that even Hiruzen had never seen so they entered with caution.
At the end of the corridor was a door that they opened, after checking for traps they entered with caution, the room had no lights, so Hiruzen took a piece of wood from the ground and set it on fire making a torch. They looked carefully and saw that the room was filled with spider webs, books and scrolls and maps scattered everywhere on the room, swords, bows, lances decorated the walls. They were amazed not even the Hidden Leaf library had this many books.
"I guess i have to pay a bit more attention to this room and clean it" Naruto said as he picked a book on his hand read the title and put it back where he took it.
"It seems that you will have to" Hiruzen agreed with him. "Let's go back"
They walked back outside and decided to visit other parts of the Mansion. They walked down some even more narrow corridor yet oddly enough this time they were lead to some massive double doors, the moment they tried to set foot near the gate they were attacked by hundreds of Kunais and Shurikens from all directions.
Hiruzen didn't let his age get to him, acting on his fast reflexes he made quick handsigns and released a gust of wind propelling the Shurikens and Kunai's backwards. They did get some bruises and cuts but again escaped unharmed. Naruto went to open the door but was shocked when his hand went right through the door and burned red hot.
The Hokage quickly pulled him backwards. He looked at the door for a few seconds before he made a quick handseal. "It's a genjutsu" he said.
Before long Naruto understood what the Hokage meant, as the door fade into the back and the corridor extended a long further he saw the door at the end again.
"What now" Naruto asked.
"Wait let's not get haisty the Genjutsu was simply a mask but your hand was burned when you placed it through, there must be another trap around here" Hiruzen said analysing the situation.
"Yeah your right, but what kind of trap is this one"
Hiruzen kneelt to take a small rock he found on the ground. He tossed it towards the door at high speed. Naruto watched the rock carefully, yet he was shocked when the rock nearly made contact with the door it was cut into a thousand pieces.
"I thought so, it's a laser trap" Hiruzen said.
"A laser trap?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah it can't be seen by the Human eye unless it's with dojutsu, if one didn't see the Genjutsu he would have simply walked through and cut himself to death" Hiruzen explained the trap.
Naruto shiverd knowing he was so close to death himself. But pushed himeself to talk "So what do we do now, how do we pass this test"
"This is quite a pickle were in. Though i might have a technique that might help us" Hiruzen replied a small grinn tugging at his lips.
He made the necessary hand seals "Infinite Darkness Jutsu". Naruto felt everything around them go black all of the sudden, he felt as if he was at the bottom of a endless black hole. But he watched with curious eyes as burning red lines appeared all over the corridor.
"Lasers"
"How do we pass now"
In a few quick notions that left Naruto in awe Hiruzen made the jump from one place to another, going sometimes above, sometimes below and sometimes even in between the lasers, Naruto watched him reach the end without a problem. He himself decided to walk in between them slowly and carefully.
The hokage awaited him and then opened the massive gates his jutsu fading behind him. Naruto made his way inside and took in the view. This room was even larger than the library which made him question just how big the mansion really is, it seemed as though it was bigger in the inside than the outside which didn't make sense since they were still on the first floor, at least to his knowledege.
The room had stone thick walls that reached far above his height. He looked around, this room had a small shelf of books, a massive table with at least 20 chairs around it, he went over to the table, he saw a massive map of the world was sitting on it. The map showed the borders of each nations. He examend it closely.
He saw the Land of Wind to the Southwest, he saw at Northwest the Land of Earth, the Land of Iron to the North, the land of Lighting to the Northeast, he saw the Land of Waves, Land of Whirlpools and the Land of Water to the east and the Land of Tea to the South.
He saw objects that laid above the map, he could make out Shinobis, Samurai's, Ships, these objects were scatterd all around the map. He saw the capitals of each Nations, they were circled in red lines. Naruto saw in the other side of the table a letter. He went to grab it, his footsteps echoing in the room.
He took the letter on his own hands and read the names aloud. A, Killer B, Han, Roshi, Onoki,Rasa, Yagura, Zabuza Momochi, Orochimaru. He read out.
He turned to Hiruzen, "Who are these guys?"
"They are shinobi from different villages, if i had to guess they are people that were considered as threats by your clan," Hiruzen explained.
"I see, my father wasn't a fool, better to have an understanding of your enemies' abilities than get caught off guard"
"Yes your father was an organised men, ready for any situation."
Naruto placed the letter back on the table without saying a word, he walked around the room a little more before he stoped in front of a massive picture that hang in the wall.
He examined it with a blank expression on his face. The picture had 8 men on it, one stood out to Naruto, the one that was in the middle while the other 7 flanked him from both side, they all wore black leather suits with a black cape(Think of Karl Ruprect Kroenen from Hellboy but without a mask). The man in the middle had a commanding aura to him. He was a tall man with long yellow hair that fell behind his back loosely.
His blue eyes and yellow beard made his face terrifying to look at. Naruto saw that he wore a black armor like none he had ever seen, his armor had been made to allow defence while not taking away his flexibility, he was a fighter that relied on speed, while a katana also hung around his waist. On his breast was the symbol of the Namikaze Clan.
Naruto looked up at him in awe and a little fright, and the men surrounding him were not much better either, all of them had the look of a warrior who had fought countless battles.
"Who are they?" Naruto asked never taking his eyes off the picture.
"That man in the middle is Arashi Namikaze, Minato Namikze's father and your grandfather, he was the previous head of the Namikaze Clan until he fell in battle during the Second Great Ninja War," Hiruzen explained.
"He looks strong"
"Aye, he was strong, i would know he was my personal bodyguard once" Hiruzen said gaining Naruto's attention.
"How was that possible?"
"Well you see, your Grandfather was an apprentice to Tobirama Senju as was I, but since he was older than me and stronger than any one else from the Senju Clan, Tobirama Sensei decided to name him as his personal bodyguard, then during the First Great Ninja War, Tobirama sensei sacreficed himself and named me Hokage, he decided against sacrificing the life of Arashi and so he made him swear his allegiance to me, he served me dutifully until he became Head of the Namikaze, he fell in battle in the Second Great Ninja War along side his Order of the Seven"
"Order of the Seven?" Naruto was left puzzled at the name.
"The Order of the Seven was an elite royal guard of the Namikaze Clan Head, your ancestors weren't arrogant to believe in the notion of Invincibility thous they create a royal guard to protect the Clan Head" Hiruzen explained not seeming tired of holding History lessons to Naruto.
"What would happen if the Clan Head were to die?" Naruto asked wanting to know more.
"Should the Clan Head die in battle while his Order of the Seven remains alive they would be banished and branded traitors to the Clan since they are meant to be the Clan Heads shadow, but if the Clan head were to meat a natural death then the Order of the Seven could be retired and could be reinstated in the service of the new Clan Head"
"I see"
Naruto didn't say anything else, he made his way towards the map again, "Tell me, apart from the Island of Whirlpool Country, do the Uzumaki Clan hold any land on the main continent?" Naruto asked eyeing the map carefully.
Hiruzen made his way to map as well, "Unforturently no, whatever land the Uzumaki's held was taken by the Land of Hot Water, so no the Uzumaki only controlled the Main island of Whirlpool Country and the smaller Hinami Island" Hiruzen said pointing at the map.
"Very well, and are these island inhabitable? Fertile? Can they maintain their food in case of siege, do they use any kind of special minerals, do they have a sustainable economy?"
Hiruzen was taken aback by all of Naruto's sudden questions, "Well to be fair i can not say much since i too have basic knowledge of the Island, since i have never been there to see it in person, but i do know someone that has been there and can help you, but unfortunately he is outside the village right now"
"Who is he"
"His name is Jiraya, he is one of the Sanin and he is my student" Hiruzen answered.
"Jiraya the Sanin, i do believe i have heard that name before" he thought for a moment "Nevermind, you say he is outside the village? When will he return? Do you have that information at least."
"No i do not, a Sanin can move anywhere in the Five Great Nations without the authority of the Hokage" Hiruzen explained.
Naruto said nothing for a while, when something came to his mind "You are the Hokage, you control the Anbu Black Ops of the Village isn't that right? Well do you have a loyal anbu member that you can trust with anything" Naruto asked.
"I do have one, why?"
"Good than i want to have him train me, he will become my personal bodyguard" Naruto said.
"Naruto as much as i wish,i can not accept your request, i can't give you my men to train you.." Hiruzen was saying but was interrupted.
"No actually you can, it is stated that Hashirama Senju the founder of the Village united all the Clans in the Land of Fire to the Village with the promise that if the Clans fought alongside the village, the village would also fight alongside the Clans, a partnership that goes both ways, and i am a Cland Head so i demand an personal body guard for myself provided by the Anbu Black Ops" Naruto said without missing a beat.
Hiruzen was stunt, he never imaged that Naruto would pull something like this.
He sighed "Very well,i shall give you a man i trust as a personal bodyguard of yours"
"I thank you" Naruto said as he began to walk off "Oh one more thing, the Namikze no longer live in the mansion, but are there other people that lived in this mansion, people like cooks, servants or things like that" he asked with authority.
"Well cooks, and servants have either gone in service of other Clan Heads or have fled the Land of Fire, many might have even died i am not sure, but there is one that i know served your own father, he is a blacksmith, he is the one that made your Father's legendary Kunais" Hiruzen explained.
"Good, i wish to meet him. Can you bring him to the guest's room tomorrow, i would like an audience with him, i have a few things i want to ask of him" Naruto said as he walked out leaving Hiruzen alone in the room, he watched him walk out with an unreadable look on his face.
After a good while Hiruzen left the mansion while Naruto stayed, he had made Shadow Clones and cleaned the house, at least 100 of his Shadow Clones were killed by hidden traps in the mansion, after the first one was dead he had decided to sit back and let the clones do all the work, it was also then that he found out that the Shadow Clones transfer back their memory.
Which gave him the idea that he could use them for training, he had paid closer attention to the library of the Namikaze, where he had a discovered an exact copy of the scroll of sealing that the Hokage had hid away. It made him laugh a little, to think that he would own a copy of the think that had nearly got him killed trying to steal.
He had also discovered some flags of the Namikaze Clan's sigil which was a circular emblem with a central whirlwind, surrounded by three lightning bolts. One of the lightning bolts featured a subtle touch of yellow. He had also seen some Whirpool banners of the Uzumaki Clan. But he left the flags untouched and moved into different parts of the library.
He or rather his clones found a lot of books he had taken an interest into, he had found a book about the History of Namikaze that was written by the Namikaze themselves, he found training routines of former clan heads, he had even found a journal of his father though it was unfinished only a couple pages long, but to his astonishment his father had left behind a complete list of all his jutsu's, though there were no real instructions on how to learn them and even if there were they were to complicated to understand.
Naruto decided that his fathers techniques were far to advanced for him right now and that he would take his time mastering the basics and then move onto more advanced stuff. He moved the books back into the shelf and reorganised them in the manner that would suit him.
He had also found other rooms in the house but that no longer surprised him, the mansion was huge and he would expect that many rooms. After a good long while he decided that the house was clean enough and dispersed his clones. He made his way to the master bedroom.
He wanted to go and lay down on the bed when he suddenly crossed a mirror and stoped. He hadn't even seen the mirror when he had entered the room yet he still saw his reflection while moving, it made him realise just how much he actually stood out. In the ninja world his orange jumpsuit was a death sentance.
He opened the warderobe and looked through clothes that were there, he finally found something that he liked, he decided to keep it simple, he wore black pants with a pouch tied around his leg, and a black sweater covered by a dark green jacket (Minato from The Lost Tower movie).
He thought his new look was good enough, he really much liked his orange jumpsuit but he would have to stop wearing it. Without much words he once again removed his clothes and jumped into bed.
Alright that's it about this chapter i hope you liked it, also i know that the Namikaze were not a real clan and that they didn't have a mansion and all but this is a fanfic after all i can do whatever i want, Peace.
