"Asuma please take the kids home. Ayato listen carefully okay? Once you arrive to the house fold all the clothes, move all of our belongings from the house to the office along with the folded clothes and move all of our belongings in the house into my office along with folded clothes and anything you find of value. Me and your mother will take care of the rest from there." I nodded my head receiving a smile of approval as Asuma grabbed onto me and Konohamara.
"Hold onto me and close your eyes." Asuma spoke sincerely I did as told closing my eyes and gripping Asuma. Within a few seconds I had felt a shift in my body as it felt something was manipulating it and distorting my body.
I opened my eyes to realize we were back in the house it must have been a shunshin technique that was the only explanation for the teleportation like transportation. I brushed the thoughts aside before running into my room grabbing everything as quickly as possible to put into my fathers office.
My current assumption was they would put everything in a storage seal when they had gotten back I assumed they were going to warn the villagers and that we would have to migrate from this area since it would be ransacked with anbu.
Thoughts paced through my head and as I continued grabbing everything I had found somewhat important. Although in my haste I ended up slipping on something I had misplaced on the floor causing me to crash into a wall which busted open.
I shot back up rubbing the back of my head and glaring at my hands which had become tainted in crimson red blood.
At least it wouldn't affect my hair color I thought to myself with a cheeky smile.
Shit thats definitely going to sting later I thought whilst gritting my teeth. My eyes narrowed to the hole I made to see a book?
I walked towards the now hole in the wall bending over to reach my hand inside the hole grabbing the book I blew off the dust which was a horrible idea as the dust quickly spread into my nose and eyes.
I began to cough up a storm before I started sneezing repeatedly, they had always done it in the movies I watched so It made me think it was a good idea. I picked back up the book wiping the dust off with my hands my new knowledge of how dust worked being put into action.
I looked deeply at the book to see if it had any distinct features what stuck out from the outside was that it had no title nor cover. I opened it up out of curiosity the paper had looked old and the handwriting was surprisingly good I glanced at each page skimming through the book to get somewhat of an idea of what it was about I gathered that it was filled with jutsu, Uzumaki katas, Uzumaki taijutsu styles, and Uzumaki history.
This was way too valuable to just throw in the pile of stuff in the office thats probably why my dad had it hidden behind the wall right?
I knew deep down this was just an excuse I made for myself so I could keep the book to myself for a little while longer but who wouldn't it was like the entire local library and more.
It had ninjutsu, fuinjutsu, iryojutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu etc and there were a vast amount of each from E rank all the way to A. Well at least thats the information I had gathered from my quick reading the book was heavy so I set it down on the office table. Suddenly the office table collapsed from the sheer weight of the book.
"What the hell?" I whispered out loud to myself.
How could this be it felt lightless in my hands but it shattered the office table? I looked towards the book which was turned upside down now from the fall. It looked different though and the page it was on was unfamiliar from my quick scan.
It read THE FORBIDDEN JUTSU OF UZUSHIOGAKURE, only for kage and trained Jinchuruki use it read in the fine print. I stared at the text before deadpanning as it seemed like a child had written it. "What a mess" I whispered to myself again.
I picked up the book again and it felt like a feather must be the work of a sealing style jutsu. Uzumaki Barrier creates a large dome, size can vary between the chakra inputted towards the jutsu, the dome disables the enemies use of chakra entirely along with siphoning off chakra off the enemy only lasts for 120 seconds. My eyes shot out of my head, "SCOREEE!!! I'm totally learning this." I said out loud with a snicker before remembering i was in a serious situation.
I quickly ran to my room my shoes clacking against the cold wooden floors. I grabbing my traveling backpack and putting the book into the bag oh and also I had to grab a couple snacks.
The book was still weightless I went back on task grabbing as many items that I found important as possible.
ARATAS POV
"Well Arata have you decided?" The old man Hiruzen asked kindly
Arata let out a sigh before rubbing his head "I never really had much of a decision we'll have to warn everyone else and we'll also have to leave early tomorrow morning as I doubt that Iwa nin had been telling the truth" I spoke in a serious tone still rubbing my forehead, to be fair i was faced with a tough decision Hiruzen simply nodded his head understanding the stress i was under.
"Me and Akane will gather up everyone from the village warn them of whats happening and tell them the information Hiruzen please go help pack up." I spoke sincerely not trying to belittle the Hokage but I knew there wasn't much else he could do, I recieved yet another nod from the man before he shunshined away.
The entire village had agreed on an emergency plan in the case of events like this or something similar where we would need to evacuate the village. The plan was that me and Akane would flare our chakra which would be the sign to meet at the entrance of the village. Me and akane both looked towards each other before nodding and dashing towards the village.

Flashback
"So whats the reason for the visit Hiruzen?" I asked the old man as we sat in my office along with Asuma.
"Well it wasn't fully my decision don't get me wrong i'd been meaning to visit for a while now but making my way to nagi island was extremely risky and dangerous since its bordering Kirigakure."
Hiruzen let out a sigh before continuing.
To be transparent this was more so of a business visit but please don't worry we're still the only ones who know of the Uzumaki clan's existence." The Hokage paused seeming to await a reply I nodded my head gesturing for him to continue.
"Well, to start off the Uchiha clan has been massacred which is is something that leaves Konoha in a extremely vulnerable state as we've also still been recovering from the kyubi attack.
There was a long pause of silence before Hiruzen spoke again.
I think you understand where i'm going with this. We're going to need a strong clan to come in to replace the Uchiha and well what better then the Uzumaki you would have much bigger land than your current facility as you would take on the senju's district. We will also allow the Uzumaki clan to thrive by providing education, jobs, and a much better lifestyle overall where they don't have to hide themselves in fear." I stared blankly towards the Hokage I knew it was all just business.
"Please don't try to spin this as you attempting to give us better homes you simply need us to be your soldiers and amplify the strength of your military so keep it at that."
My normal lackadaisical manner switched to that of an emperor and a true leader everyone in the room could feel the shift.
Now I do understand you're trying to protect your people and your family but so am I. I want whats best for my people too as i'm responsible for the entirety of this clan and i'll be damned if I allow us to lose so much again. I slightly gripped the desk causing a piece of wood to snap off from my grip. "Shit not again" I muttered low enough for just myself to hear.
thats why I must ask what had been the reason for the Uchiha massacre things like that don't just happen me and you both know that." I asked my hands clasped together staring into the Hokages eyes.
sigh "I had been hoping you didn't ask theres much to go through but let me start from the beginning." The Hokage spoke in a tired tone rubbing his forehead
"It all began with the kyuubi attack the now deceased fourth Hokage had been having a son Uzumaki Naruto and the mother was one of yours Uzumaki Kushina Jinchuriki of the nine tails." My eyebrow raised as the Hokage spoke he said the last part practically gesturing for me to talk knowing I'd have something to say.
"I knew about Kushina Uzumaki my father had sent her to go to Konohagakure with the persistence of Mito Uzumaki. Albeit I never knew she had conceived a Uzumaki child due to you never deciding telling me."
"Had you not thought that just maybe would have been a little important of a topic to touch up on?"
"Nonetheless continue your story Hiruzen we will pick up that topic at a later moment." I spoke in a serious tone assuring the man the topic would come up.
"Well a masked man who had happened to be a sharingan wielder attacked the fourth Hokage threatening to kill his child. The man was able to keep the fourth at bait just enough to gain time to take Kushina Uzumaki and commence an unsealing ritual on the fox." The Hokage let out another exasperating sigh and rubbing his forehead more.
"Now theres more to this story and you must not say anything to anyone of this no matter who it is." The Hokage paused waiting for me to agree to not say anything I simply nodded before gesturing to continue.
"Minato before he had become Hokage was a jonin sensei he had a squad of three shinobi there were relations between all three somewhat of a love triangle Obito loved Rin whilst Rin loved Kakashi. Obito had died due to a rock crushing him in the third ninja world war. Well we had thought as much at least, it came to light that Obito was somewhat captured by a legendary shinobi who manipulated Obito eventually managing to get Obito to participate in a ritual of sort. Thus resorting in him attacking the leaf he was smart though he knew to not attack whilst the three sannin had been in the village as he'd be overwhelmed so he sent in a fake S rank mission request knowing the only people capable enough had been the sannin. Now I don't know exactly what happened during the unsealing process but it seemed Kushina managed to figure out that it had been Obito behind his mask due to the fact his chakra had been transferring into her during the unsealing process and she had managed to halfway reason with Obito." The hokage stopped his speech to wipe away a tear before continuing.
"He ended up unsealing the beast putting it under a genjutsu causing the Kyubi's eyes to take the form of the sharingan. Minato ended up finding Kushina who had been half alive and took her somewhere safe before she told him the truth of the masked man that he had been confused and manipulated." The Hokages tears began forming again.
"Pardon me Arata for the tears, Minato confronted Obito I was not there so I don't know exactly what happened during the confrontation. Although he had managed to quell Obito's rage reasoning with the man the Kyubi had already gone on a rampage actually managing to snap out of the genjutsu. Minato had forced Obito to go tend to Kushina and he'd take on the kyubi himself." My eyebrow raised once again
The Hokage let out another exasperating sigh as he continued to get choked up about the story.
"Obito managed to make it to Kushina but it had been too late her body had already went cold and her heart beat had stopped she lied dead next to her newborn son. The fourth Hokage due to being left alone to fight the Kyubi had taken quite a beating me and Obito had arrived to the battlefield at somewhat the same time which was extremely late."
"Obito seeing his sensei about to be crushed quickly grabbed onto his sensei using a unfamiliar jutsu causing him and Minato to phase through the Kyubi's paw in turn saving Minato. The Fourth Hokage gave me his last dying wish's which had been for me to accept Obito ensure his safety and take care of Naruto. He finished by directing me and Obito to hold down the Kyubi whilst he used the reaper death seal. He ended up sealing the entirety of the beast into his own child as he was the only person able to contain the beast with His Uzumaki heritage. Needless to say lots were lost during that war." The old man's tears dropped onto my table I couldn't recall ever seeing the old war hardened man cry once.
"Im sorry Hiruzen for all you lost I understand what its like to lose those near and dear to you." I said whilst bowing in a sincere tone he picked himself up and continuing the story less enthusiastically.
"As you would assume there was lots of panic within the civilians the Kyubi just went on a rampage tearing through most of Konoha. The fourth Hokage was dead, a masked man had attacked him during the panic which he defeated. I had to spin the story around somewhat as if not Obito would have been exiled or worse executed.
"Also the Kyubi had sharingan's in its eyes so that didn't make it any easier for Obito or the Uchiha since the people all had the same culprit to blame the Uchiha. To make it worse lots of people had speculated the masked man was also an Uchiha and had been apart of the Kyubi attack. This also caused the council to want to keep a closer eye on the Uchiha I had known the truth but if I came out with it then i'd not only break Minato's promise i'd also get Obito killed. Thus I was left with an ultimatum so I allowed them to move the Uchiha to a compound on the outskirts of the village where they could be easily monitored."
"So if my clan were also in the same predicament you would pick a singular person over an entire clan of people. you had obviously known the repercussions of this choice and that something would break out eventually between the Uchiha and Konoha you just hoped it didn't." The old man rubbed his temple yet again before clasping his hands together.
"I admit I was at fault for this decision but my mind was clouded by what had just happened the choice wasn't made by the Hokage it was made by Hiruzen Sarutobi."
I let that statement simmer the silence in the room was loud before I nodded my head.
As somewhat of a village leader myself I could understand exactly where he was coming from but it was still somewhat concerning I have to have my peoples best interest in mind at all times.
"Well after the Uchiha had been moved and constantly under surveillance they felt as though they were being mistreated a couple of Uchiha even went rogue or joined other villages which was something we had not prepared for."
The Hokage let out a sigh
"Especially since two of those who had gone rogue was a prodigy and a couple of Uchiha families went to Kumogakure due to them promising the Uchiha a better lifestyle."
"another thing we had not prepared for was them planning a coup. One of my Village advisors proposed the idea of massacring the Uchiha which I refused but he continued to propose this eventually getting enough political power on his side to make my opinion not of enough value. I had no counter as the rogue prodigy Uchiha Shisui was the only one who could resolve it peacefully with his sharingan's genjutsu Kotoamatsukami."
"You know i've encountered a mangekyou before no need to hide the eye from me, it truly is a dangerous ability to fight against." The Hokages eyebrow raised as if asking me to tell him more but I stopped there I did have more to the story but i'd leave it there.
"Yes, Shisui did have a mangekyou unlike his partner Itachi who was also a prodigy and the one chosen to massacre his entire clan. I assume that he also obtained his mangekyou after the massacre though he's also become a rogue nin alongside Shisui."
"How many remain?" I asked seriously while staring at the Hokages eyes.
"Of the Uchiha? In our village three two twins Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Satsuki boy and girl then of course Obito." The Hokage replied back staring back.
"But, in general theres probably around 15-20 Uchiha lef I have yet to mention the most dangerous Uchiha of all of them though he's not important at the moment." I raised my eyebrow at this I mean how are you gonna say that and not tell me. Annoying.
sigh "You give me a hard decision Hiruzen I do feel bad as Konohagakure was an ally at one point and you and my father had a genuine bond but, theres a lot to unpack here. The boy how is he?" I asked curiously my hands now tucked under my chin still clasped together.
"Who? Uzumaki Naruto, if thats who you mean well he's a ball of joy around its visible a lot of villagers harbor resentment towards the boy he's also around your sons age. He's currently living with me and Asuma at the Hokage's compound where he sleep, eats, and trains from time to time."
"I've taken up the hobby of training the boy from time to time." The Hokage said with a smile on his face I eye smiled back towards the old man.
I let out a sigh, It had been a much harder decision then I originally thought it would be there was so much to take in and consider it hurt my head. I continued to stare at the hokage before unclasping my hands getting ready to decline the offer.
"Wel-"
BOOM The office doors swung open crashing against the wall as the only figure there had been my wife standing in the doorway "The kids they've been gone 3 hours now." She spoke anxiously talk about perfect timing I thought whilst deadpanning.

6AM
Roosters were yelling the sun was rising I knew what time it was I was already fully dressed I hadn't slept the entirety of the night before. I mean who could under these circumstances, I grabbed my backpack which contained the book and a couple toiletries along with other necessities everything else such as furniture had been packed into a storage seal. I walked out my room walking down the stairs I looked around realizing I had been the first one down I stepped out the house. Taking my time alone... just to reminisce I knew i'd miss this home hell i'd miss the entire village the lush sakura trees, the nice ponds, and just the size itself.
I heard some more footsteps I turned around to be greeted by everyone else who was packed up with their necessities I assumed. No words were said we all began trotting through the grass making way towards the exit point.
Crowds of people were formed which was my indication that we had approached the exit point as we got closer and closer It was like looking at a school of fish more and more people came into my perspective. My father walked through the crowd of people as the rest of us followed behind him. He found himself in the front before turning around looking at the massive gathering of people.
I could hear the cry's and shouts I could even see people crying it had been a mix of those who stood emotionless, those who seemed scared for what was to come, and those who had been crying. My father began to speak his voice boomed through the village as he spoke.
"I understand your concern, sadness, and anger this isn't just moving we're leaving behind a civilization we built from scratch ourselves."
The villagers gave their full attention to my father as he spoke "I guarantee all of our safety and I won't allow a thing to happen to any of you I will protect you all with my life."
"Now this will be a big adjustment but, the Hokage has promised that we will be taken care of in Konohagakure. Not only that but we will be offered jobs, homes, and education I understand if you don't want to leave everything behind."
BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE UZUMAKI CLAN COME LIVE ON WITH ME BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!" My father spoke heroically as his voice boomed through the forest like a great leader the cries had quelled and turned into an applause.
"Anyone who is capable in combat or healing I will need you in the front lines the Hokage here has provided anbu who will also be of assistance and we will provide Chakra powered wagons to woman, children, elderly, and those suffering of illness. The estimated time of arrival to Konohagakure is approximately 9 days." My fathers tone was yet again unwavering.
"I will give you all time to take blankets, pillows, and whatever else necessary out of your storage seals before we move forward." My fathers turned his head towards us before speaking yet again.
He let out a loud exasperating sigh "Being a leader is so exhausting." My father spoke lazily with anime tears pouring from his eyes.
The Hokage let out a little chuckle "Here I had thought I found the next Hokage candidate." Hiruzen said jokingly, an anbu dropped down in front of the Hokage seeming to relay new information to the Hokage.
"We have to go now Kumo and Iwa are approaching." The Hokages chuckle quickly left his voice as his tone grew serious, my father nodded his head turning around to his people again.
"Okay everyone please quickly and kindly get into a cart each can fit 10 people theres plenty to go around make sure you get in with your loved ones as well." Me and the others rushed into our own cart which was going to lead the front all the anbu had jumped back into the trees.
My father, mother and Hiruzen all stayed outside the carts assisting others.
The carts began moving the chakra imbued inside of them pushing the wheels forward the pace had been much faster than I had expected. I looked back to see my father directing everyone before running behind our cart and jumping inside.
"Everyone should be fine now to get to their carts." My father spoke directly after launching himself into the cart I had still looked in awe.
"At least we get to go home a week early" Konohomara spoke lazily after being silent for so long the entire cart went quiet before a crashing sound was heard outside of the cart.
Everyone stuck their heads out to see if I had to guess about 70% of the village had already been inside the carts. But what i saw when I looked forward was a drastic sight electricity crackled as a dash of lightning zoomed past the cart leaving a crevice in the ground from the sheer pressure. A few yards away stood the current Raikage A my eyes widened at the sight.
I hadn't expected a kage to appear on the scene this is gonna get bad and quick, another person appeared next to A it only made sense B came onto the scene.
"Continue moving we'll fall back and take them on right honey?" My mother told the Hokage surprisingly taking the charge.
"Don't be silly Akane what kind of Kage would I be to sit around and watch you two fight alone I won't sit back and watch." The Hokage spoke fiercely whilst picking himself up now I knew my father and mother were strong but I had no idea of the extent of power they held could they hold their own against A and B?
The Hokage looked towards Asuma before speaking "I trust you know what to do?" The Hokage spoke in a questioning tone as Asuma replied with a simple head nod.
They exited the carts as Asuma stayed inside with us my head flung out the cart to take a peek I managed to spot a couple 100 or so nin flanking from behind I had expected more but I doubt that they came with the intent so many Uzumaki had survived. From what I could tell almost all of them had on Kumogakure gear though it was almost like there wasn't a single nin from Iwagakure.
Weird?
Suddenly all the anbu had jumped out the trees onto the scene they charged the flanking nin along with all of those who had been on the front lines. "Hey kid take care of Konohomara for me I don't feel like playing babysitter especially without pay. I turned my head to see Asuma who was lighting up a cigarette I nodded my head somewhat begrudgingly as if I had a choice.
Without a word he dashed out the cart towards the front lines. Maybe that wasn't the best idea me or Konohamara wouldn't be able to take on any nin.
"Ayato do you think we'll be okay?" The girl asked in a worried tone her facial expression looking bewildered. As she gripped Konohamaru tightly I didn't know how to respond should I reassure her or tell the truth? I chose the latter
"I don't know Konohamara but I can tell you that they'll have to kill me first before they get to you" I said my tone also scared but I didn't sound unsure of what I said.
Asuma's POV
I charged into the front lines to fend off all the Kumo nin but when I had arrived my cigarette almost fell out my mouth the Uzumaki that were sent to the front lines had been slaughtering the kumo nin.
They made it seem easy too just how strong were the Uzumaki?
Chains flew through the air slicing through the Kumo nin the Uzumaki also outnumbered the nin vastly since to my surprise it had been a small amount about a few hundred. There hadn't been a single Iwa nin in sight either, I brushed aside the thoughts and charged in to help the Uzumaki.
I immediately ran through hand signs before taking in a deep breath.
KATON:ASH PILE BURNING
A smokescreen filled the area which I quickly ignited exploding taking down a handful of nin. "Everyone push them forward so we can pull them away from the carts" I spoke as loud as possible the Uzumaki were surprisingly responsive as those with adamantium chains swung the nin back into the village area. I ran through hand signs yet again knowing a jutsu perfect to push back the nin.
FUTON:DIVINE WIND
Several mini hurricane's formed which blocked the entire entrance to where the carts had been I glanced behind myself as I saw the carts where a good enough distance away. sigh I ran through hand signs again relieved that the crisis had been adverted.
KATON:RUNNING FLAME
The mini Hurricanes all ignited into flame hurricanes as they pushed forward through the village the Kumo nin all seemed to retreat knowing there wasn't anything they could do they had severely underestimated the Uzumaki and so had I.
I took a drag of my cigarette "Felt a bit too easy didn't it?" I asked to one of the nearby Uzumaki.
"To you maybe, there were multiple losses." The Uzumaki replied somewhat upset.
"Things like that happen especially in this setting you have to get over it." I spoke before letting out a puff of smoke.
"You are a-" Before the Uzumaki could finish his gut exploded as a claw rammed through his stomach my eyes widening at the sight.
"The chivalry has arrived"
Man this chapter was hard I wanted to explain the massacre and Kyubi attack in the best way possible but it proved to be much harder then I expected. But I think it came out great now you all have to realize Hiruzen barely knows the story theres a lot more to it which i'll reveal later on but for now you'll have to wait for the payout. Also Shusui and Obito alive now and Sasuke has a twin sister I know its a little bit cliche but it fits so perfectly. It also makes so much sense and I know a lot of you are probably thinking Obito's good now whos going to step up and to that I say
TRUST THE PROCESS
As always please let me know if theres any suggestions, qualms, or grammatical errors in the story in my pm's.
Q1-Who do you think the chivalry is?
Q2-What do you think Minato and Kushina did to save Obito from the manipulation?
