Chapter 10
As soon as Naruto said that, there was a pin-drop silence in the office, and the Hokage had a look of shock on his face.
Just as the Hokage was about to reply to Naruto, three people landed in front of Naruto and his team from the corners of the room. They were all wearing Anbu clothes and had a mask covering their faces.
"What did you say just now, kid?" said the one standing in the middle.
"Well, I said that the Fourth Hokage was my father," Naruto replied, knowing that the three people standing in front of him were...
Raidō Namiashi, Genma Shiranui, and Iwashi Tatami were the only people his father trained to use the Hiraishin other than himself.
In the future, all three of them had told him that his father wanted them to protect him if something happened to his father. However, the Third Hokage told them that the son of the Fourth Hokage had died during the Nine-Tails' attack.
They only came to know the truth during the Fourth Shinobi World War when Minato addressed Naruto as his son in front of the whole army.
In the future, all three of them also helped him master the Hiraishin and the space-time barrier that his father used to transfer the nine-tailed beast ball away from the village.
But he could only master the space-time barrier and had just started to work on Hiraishin when he was transported back in time to the past.
Just as Naruto repeated that he was the son of the Fourth Hokage, the one on the right side said, "That's impossible. The Sandaime Hokage informed us that he died in the Nine Tails attack."
"Well then, how come the Fourth Hokage appeared inside my seal and said that I am his son and told me to go to the Third Hokage to get my inheritance?" Naruto shouted.
As Naruto said that all three of them looked at the Hokage, who had a look of shock on his face, with his eyes and mouth wide open.
Just as three of them turned to look at the Hokage for answers, the Hokage stood up and looked at Naruto. He shouted in a panicked voice, "Naruto, stop telling S-ranked secrets to people who are not supposed to know that."
"So you agree with the kid that the Fourth Hokage was his dad?" the one on the left said while looking at the Hokage.
"Yes, I know that the Fourth Hokage was Naruto's dad. Before you all start asking questions, Naruto, tell me what happened and how you met your dad."
Hearing what Sandaime said, Naruto decided to tell the story that he had prepared for the Sandaime to hear.
After hearing his conversation with his father, he was pretty sure that the Hokage was going to be shocked after hearing what he had prepared.
It was not that he hated the Third Hokage or anything.
However, after finding out that he did not tell him about his family and even after promising to take care of him, he left him in the orphanage.
He also did not have any love left for the person he used to call jiji
So he started telling well
...
" Well, as soon as I sat in the meditative pose, I felt a pull inside myself. And as soon as I followed it, I was standing in front of a large gate, which was made of bars and was even bigger than the main gate of the village.
On the other side of the gate, there was only darkness.
As soon as I took a step forward to look into the darkness,
A huge red eye opened with a black slit in the middle
Soon the darkness lifted and there was the kyuubi standing in all its glory with its nine tails flaring behind the bar
He looked at me and said, "So, my jailer has finally come to visit me."
Have you come to take my power for yourself, just like all the others before me?
"What do you mean like the others before?" I asked him in a questioning tone.
" Well, you are not my first jinchuriki. Your mother was my previous jinchuriki, and before that, the wife of the first hokage was my first jinchuriki.
She was also the one who captured me for the first time, he informed me.
"I have not come here for your power, unlike others," I shouted.
"You humans don't want anything other than my power. You humans think that I can't catch a lie. You are the same as the other two." Kyuubi shouted while sending a sliver of chakra towards me.
As the chakra was about to reach me, the Fourth Hokage appeared in front of the chakra and it stopped.
Then he snapped his fingers and we were in some other place with nothing but white surrounding us and not in front of the kyuubi's cage
After that he told me I am his son and he is my dad
He also asked me about my life in the village and told me how he had wished for me to be seen as the hero for saving it from the kyuubi.
After I informed him how bad my life is in the village, he was angry.
Then he snapped his fingers and we were once again in front of the kyuubi
He then walked in front of the kyuubi and told him, "How would you like to make a deal for your release?"
As soon as Sandaime heard that he knew that they were fucked,
He didn't even know that the Fourth Hokage had placed such a safety measure in the seal.
But he should have known that the Fourth Hokage would not let any harm come to his son by the kyuubi
Naruto continued to say
"How would you like to make a deal for your release?" the Fourth Hokage said.
The kyuubi replied in a tone filled with wary knowing that he will have to be very careful of any deal he made with this man. "What do you have in mind?" he asked.
"I would open the seal and alter it a little so that Naruto can access your chakra any time he wants with no restrictions, and you will be free to leave the seal any time you want." The Fourth replied.
"I know that you are not an idiot, Fourth Hokage, so you should know that once a biju leaves the seal, the jinchuriki will die immediately," the kyuubi answered in a questioning tone.
" Well, I know that, but the thing is, you will not be able to leave the seal fully." Seeing the kyuubi was getting angry, he continued fast, "But for a time."
Seeing the confused look on the kyuubi's face, he elaborated, "You will be able to leave the seal, but as a summon, when every Naruto wants, he can summon you to the outside world."
The size at which you will appear will depend on how much of your chakra Naruto used to summon you outside the seal
If my calculations are right, he should be able to summon you with 90% of your power intact, and the remaining 10% will remain inside Naruto to ensure that he doesn't die.
And once Naruto is mature enough, I will tell him how to get your yin half that is sealed inside the shinigami's belly and unite it with himself.
And on his deathbed he will release you fully
After hearing all this, the kyuubi replied, "What is stopping me from leaving the seal once you opened it?"
" Well, after I alter the seal, if you tried to leave the seal without Naruto's permission, you both will die and get sealed in the Shinigami's belly with me and your other half. "
After hearing this, kyuubi replied, "What do you want from me? If you are willing to open my seal and alter it so I could get more leway."
"Well, I want you to protect Naruto when he is not able to protect himself, whether it be physically or mentally.
If you do that, I will open the seal and alter it right now and hand its keys to Naruto.
After thinking for a minute, kyuubi replied, "Well, Fourth Hokage, if Naruto agrees to unite me with my other half and release me on his deathbed, I am willing to accept your conditions."
As the kyuubi finished saying that, both he and the fourth Hokage looked at Naruto
"Well, I don't have a problem with releasing him on my deathbed, but I don't know how to do it." Naruto replied.
Hearing this, the Fourth Hokage walked towards Naruto and said, "Go to the Sandaime Hokage and ask him for my scroll, in which I have locked the key to our house."
The scroll can be opened by you with your blood
After you get the key from the sandai-me,
Go to the library in the house. There, you will find books on fuinjutsu, which were written by your mother's clan, the Uzumaki clan.
Their specialty was fuinjutsu
It is the most difficult Ninja art to learn
But it is also the most versatile of the Ninja arts.
Once you master the art, you should be able to release the kyuubi on your deathbed.
After the Fourth Hokage was done talking to Naruto, he looked at the kyuubi and said, "Now that Naruto has agreed to your demand, do we have an agreement?"
"Yes, we do have an agreement. For you to open the seal, I would help Naruto in life-threatening situations, and he can summon me outside the seal."
As the kyuubi agreed, the fourth Hokage tore away the paper on top of the actual seal
After that, he moved towards Naruto and placed his hand on Naruto's stomach. He looked at Naruto and said, "Naruto, once I open the seal, the chakra that was used to suppress the kyuubi's chakra by your seal will be released into your chakra system."
You should be prepared for a massive release of chakra from your body because the seal has been storing chakra for more than 12 years to suppress kyuubi's chakra
If my estimation is correct, it should be biju levels of chakra, considering your uzumaki blood.
As Naruto heard this, he nodded, and the Fourth Hokage rotated his hand anticlockwise on Naruto's stomach.
As soon as he did that, the gate made up of bars that was stopping the kyuubi from being free was wide open. Naruto's body was covered in a layer of golden chakra, and the kyuubi took a step forward and roared loudly.
As soon as the layer of chakra surrounding Naruto disappeared, the Fourth Hokage began to lose his form.
"What is happening to you, Dad? Why are you becoming transparent?" Naruto asked in a panicked voice.
"Well, my time for now is up, but don't worry, we will meet once again. Know this: no matter what happened, know that I and your mom will always love you and be with you." The Fourth Hokage said before disappearing.
...
As soon as Naruto finished saying what he was saying, everyone was in a state of shock, including...
The three anbu guards and the hokage had their mouths wide open, and they had a look of shock on their faces.
Even the members of Team 7 were shocked on hearing the story Naruto told the Hokage.
As Naruto was about to ask the person to give him the letter that was given to him by his father, the Sandaime interrupted him and said, "Are you telling me that the seal is open and the Kyuubi can leave anytime he wishes?"
"Well, I am not sure, but dad said something like that."
As Naruto was about to continue, he felt a tug inside his mindscape. As soon as he appeared inside his mindscape, Kurama looked at Naruto and said, "Switch with me, Naruto. Let me talk to the Sandaime. Seeing that I can take control of your body anytime I want, he would be forced to give you your father's scroll."
After nodding to Kurama, he exited his mindscape and looked at the Hokage and said, "Well, he wants to talk to you, so don't panic."
As soon as Naruto finished saying that, the color of his eyes changed from sky blue to a bright red with a black slit in the middle, his whiskers grew more pronounced and darker, and his chakra also changed, and there was a feeling of death in the air.
Raidō, Genma, and Iwashi were instantly on guard and stood in front of the Hokage.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the Third Hokage, living and breathing," Kurama said through Naruto in a mocking voice.
"Kyuubi," the Third Hokage replied, his tone filled with dread.
" Well, you see that I have given my word to the Fourth Hokage that
For Opening my seal, I would protect his son from anyone who tries to cause him harm, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional. He would realize me on his son's deathbed.
So I would like you to give the kit's parents scroll to him
If you refuse to give him his inheritance, I would be forced to act.
And this time you don't have the Fourth Hokage to stop me
and don't even think of using the Reaper Death Seal on me
By looking at you, I can say that you don't have enough life force left to seal away my single tail's worth of chakra.
So what will it be, the kyuubi said to the hokage in a threatening tone.
Hearing the kyuubi's voice and him threatening the hokage, all of the members present were shocked, including the members of team 7.
They did not think that Naruto would reveal the fact that he can switch with the kyuubi and give him control to his own body any time he wants
As soon as the kyuubi finished saying Naruto's eyes changed back to his sky blue colour and his whiskers mark faded back into his skin,
As the changes in Naruto occurred, all the members present in the room looked at the Hokage, waiting for his decision.
Genma also looked at Raidō and Iwashi as they nodded. He then looked at the Hokage and said, "If you don't give the keys to his parents' house to the kid, we would just teleport him inside the house. We still have our Hiraishin marker inside the house, and the blood seal that protects the house recognizes us." Saying that, he, Raidō, and Iwashi formed a triangle formation around Naruto.
"You are willing to go against your Hokage just for a kid," said the Sandaime Hokage in a threatening voice.
"Yes, that means that we get to keep our word to the 4th Hokage." Iwashi replied.
"Fine, I would give him the keys to his parents' house," the sandaime replied.
After saying that he moved towards the portrait of the Fourth Hokage inside his office, he bit his thumb and placed the blood-covered thumb below the portrait.
As soon as he did that, the area below the portrait started to shimmer and revealed a safe below it.
He opened the safe, took out the scroll, and handed it over to Naruto.
After handing him the scroll, he looked at all the members of Team 7 and said, "You are all dismissed."
