Chapter 5.
New bloodline Family secret's
Finally peeling free from the blond's hold, Kurama smiled at the girls while he put Naruto in a headlock and started to give the blond a nugie. "Greetings ladies my Name is Kurama, but you'd know me by my title Kyuubi No Yako." he said with a charming smile.
Being shaken from their individual thoughts. The girls recentered they're gaze's back to the Yondaime clone duo. While Hiruzen looked on fondly at the two messing around like brothers."I wish Konohamaru-kun was here, I guess I have to make it up to him tomorrow. He graduated too after all."
"Hey, Kurama-nii, my communication seal is going off. Can you let go for a second." Naruto begged his older brother.
Kurama stopped grinding his knuckles on the boy's head to look at him. "Kid I swear, you and an old friend of mine would have been best friends if he knew what type of seals a little gaki made." the fox said, while letting the boy go.
Naruto regaining his equilibrium reached his hand to a glowing blue seal behind his ear and tapped it. It's color turning green. "Yo what's up?" the boy said to somebody that wasn't them.
"Oh! You're here already. Yeah it's the same hand signs. Do you remember what kanji to use? Okay we'll see you in a bit." the blond finished, raising his gaze to the rest in the room to see looks of astonishment among the ones present other than Kurama.
"What? Did I do something wrong?" the blond asked slowly.
Hiruzen shook his head. "No Naruto-kun, we're just surprised again, nobody's been able to make a communication seal matrix array stable without it going boom. So how did you manage to pull it off is my question?" The Hokage was interested in seeing the seal in action.
The blond brightened up. "Oh! That! Kono and I made it, that was him actually. He's here, he was just calling me to ask if the barrier's hand seal key is the same as when I used it last."
The others looked at the boy again in shock, and it was Kakashi that looked indignant. "Naruto-Kun how'd you accomplish that? my sensei it took him years to only have the rough calculations."
Naruto looked like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "well… you see… umm… Damn! Okay I'll tell you, but let's wait for Kono, he'll be here soon." and if summoned by the blonds words, appearing in a puff of chakra smoke was Sarutobi Konohamaru with a shit eating grin on his face.
"Yo! What's up guys, Oh there you are Jiji. Mom's mad at you for not telling her you passed Naruto because she wanted to do a party." the young brunette said, his outfit consisted of blue sandals, long gray pants and a pale green jacket with a dark green stripe down the middle. He was wearing his blue Hitai-ate on his forehead with pride.
"Awe Konohamaru-kun, I hope your mother isn't that angry with me?" the Hokage asked, trying to mask his trepidation and fear, his daughter is like her mother, absolutely terrifying.
Konohamaru smirked at the sight of his grandfather sweating. "She said to explain everything tomorrow. You should thank Naruto here. He sent a bunshin to tell me where to meet you guys. Lucky for you the bunshin ran into mom first and told her where to find you all, but if he hadn't come by she would've canceled your tobacco shipments from Ocha no Kuni." informed the younger Sarutobi, a devious grin making its way onto his face.
The Hokage looked like the Shinigami had come for his soul, as if the darkness of depression had its grips onto the Hokage until it was burned away by a very warm brilliant golden light that calmed his emotions. "Well good thing I told oba-san then so Hokage-Jiji can keep his tobacco."
Voiced out the innocent blond.
A simultaneous facepalm came from everyone in the room, other than Hiruzen, who had tears of joy coming from his eyes. "Naruto-kun" Kurenai said gently, "We want Hokage-sama to stop smoking. It's bad for him." she continued in the same gentle tone.
Naruto looked confused, and everyone could tell by his spacing out. Then he snapped his head toward his Jiji while squinting his eyes, tilting his head making him look more like a fox kit. "No it's not bad for Jiji, he channels futon chakra in his lungs like Asuma-Oji does and what i can sense when he takes a drag of his pipe they use the futon chakra to separate the ash and toxins from the Nicotine."
The Hokage looked shocked then impressed while the rest looked on in confusion. "Hmm, that's an impressive deduction skill Naruto-kun, how have you come to this conclusion?" asked the professor, his interest peaked. The boy always has something different and new.
"I can answer that." Said the biju. "You see Naruto here has had my ability to read people and beast's by their emotions but with his Uzumaki blood and from what I noticed is Naruto here has a more potent version of kagura shingan he basically has a pseudo sharingan." Pausing, Kurama looked at Naruto and continued. "Kit I figured out why that happened to you earlier, it happened because my father visited me in your seal right before it happened."
"WHAT!" exclaimed Naruto, the poor boy looked like someone kicked his box of fox kits. Angry and sad Naruto sulked in the corner with his soon to be brides trying to console the downtrodden boy.
Sniffing the boy asked. "sniff" "What did Rikudō Jiji say?"
Kurama chuckled, he knew how much the boy wanted to know about his father and could understand why the boy was so butt hurt about not being able to meet him when he had a chance. Wanting to cause some discord in the room the fox decided to throw one person under the merchant caravan. "Hey don't just look at me." points at Hiruzen, Kurama continued as he saw the old kage pale from the corner of his eye. "My father went to meet with the monkey over here too."
The old Hokage flinched when those deep watering blue eyes were turned to him, coughing into his fist. "Well you see, Hagoromo-sama just came by to tell me about a few changes you'll go through, but don't worry he said Kurama would tell you about them." "ha! take that you dastardly fox." Hiruzen thought to himself.
Kurama smirked as he thought to himself. "Not bad, since I'm interacting with people now let's know if the professor is just a name or if he can live up to the title." "That is true, my father has a lot of faith in you Kit." said the Biju aloud, making the blond redish boy perk up.
Bouncing out of his semi depression the boy looked at Kurama with stars in his eyes. "really? Rikudō Jiji thinks that high of me?" asked the boy, getting a nod from the fox in human form the boy smiled a genuine smile.
Kurama smiled. "Yes, he was quite excited to see you reach his strength in mind and body. I'm just waiting for my uncle to come by and say hello."
Gaining a confused look, Naruto asked. "What do you mean?" Everyone else had the same expression of confusion. The idea of the Rikudo sennin having a brother was interesting, especially when the majority of the shinobi world worships him like he's Kami.
Kurama laughed aloud. "Mahaha!" "I see you all are ready to hear my explanation. Let me tell you all something that's gonna blow your minds, you all know of my fathers legend the Rikudo sennin, but what was forgotten in history was the fact he had a brother, his name being Otsutsuki Hamura the Tsuki no Kenja (Lunar sage) also known as the progenitor of the Hyuga and Kaguya clans. He left with his followers to form a civilization inside the moon the Rikudo sennin created to seal the husk and soul of an evil being after most of its power was ripped from it." Kurama was trying not to laugh out loud at the disbelieving looks from the ones in front of him.
Raising her hand like she was back at the academy, Kurenai asked a question. "But how does this correlate to how Naruto-kun can sense how Hokage-sama is channeling his Chakra?"
Kakashi jumped to answer. "Naruto-kun has the Kagura Shingan which is a sensor ability of the Uzumaki clan, it could be considered to be a close match to the Sharingan the only difference is that it isn't a proper doujutsu and doesn't have the automatic copy effect that the sharingan has, but that doesn't mean the Kagura Shingan is inferior to the Sharingan."
Nodding his head in affirmation Kurama continued. "That is all true but what most don't know is the Kagura Shingan becomes more potent when trained with, some users back in the day would casually talk about the battles between the Uchiha and the Senju because they could sense it from Uzushio, how do you think the Senju got the Uchiha cornered to where flower boy got his man crush to agree with the Hidden village idea they had as children."
Hiruzen…the Hokage of Konohagakure no sato started to giggle like a mischievous child, which started a chain reaction of Yondaime clone duo grinned evilly that made the rest pale. The only other that looked excited was Anko with a happy smile that made the others squirm away. "Jiji! What did you do!?" Naruto asked excitedly, the boy just knew a prank was in play.
The Hokage chuckled at the boy's excitement. "Naruto-kun, i'll tell you soon but not now. I will tell you later after all this craziness with your in my opinion stupidly overpowered abilities, and from how Kurama-san here was speaking I was just wondering if there's another ability you have so we can get everything charted for your training.
Kurama laughed excitedly. "Sarutobi Hiruzen, the little you know about your successor really puts into perspective how skilled he was as a Shinobi." Smirking the Biju slid his gaze along everyone here, their confused expressions, but the silver haired Kakashi Kurama noticed that his emotion turned nervous. "Oh?" He said, gaining everyone's attention even more, they all followed his gaze to Kakashi who seemed to be sweating.
Exhaling a heavy breath and rubbing the bridge of his nose. "So you decided to call me out huh?'
"What are you talking about Kakashi-kun?" asked the Hokage, his expression marred with interest while the rest just looked at him expectantly.
Releasing another heavy sigh. "Well you see, I was curious about why Hiashi-sama and his brother acted like they were sensei's servants, so I decided to snoop around." pausing the silver haired man looked into Hokage's eye's, he saw his leader's face made an expression of realization.
"Kakashi-kun, did you find out the reason why Minato-kun was so close to the Hyuga? I've tried to figure out the reason on my own, but they keep considering it a clan matter." spoke the old kage.
"I can answer that." the biju spoke up to the group. "I have a children's tale, but I'll give you all an extended version. There are bits of the true prophecy if you all don't mind?" questioned Kurama, his shape gaze sliding over everyone that looked interested in a story from the nine tailed biju. Seeing everyones expectant gazes on him, the older Naruto sighed. "The story is called (The True Heir) That was written centuries ago by a sage of the Uzumaki Clan." hearing the last bit got everyone's attention which made the fox smirk. "The story begins with the Rikudo-sennin's children, the great sage had three children, his first born was a girl named Otsutsuki Moka. She was an only child for four years. My father loved her to the moon he created and back, she was quite powerful in her own right and if i'm completely honest with myself she absolutely scares the shit out of me. She inherited all of our fathers power, and with her growth was otherworldly, but she didn't let that power go to her head. She was a kind and humble woman even though she was a redheaded terror. Even though her power in her older years could rival our fathers she couldn't escape how old men thought. Father wanted her to take over the clan because of her potential, but those of his inner circle denied and refused the fact that a woman would control the clan." hearing that made the girls growl, he smirked even more when he heard them grumbling about stupid old men, and other curses pointed toward the male gender.
"So when her brothers were born it was the best and worst day of her life, she was very excited to be a big sister but when she passed the older men of our fathers inner circle, she would hear them talk her down and it got worse over time the more powerful she became over the years. Father saw this and wanted to purge those mentally abusing his daughter but he didn't want the peace he longed for to be broken especially when the potential enemy had access to chakra, so he sent my sister away from the clan so she could be safe. Like all things, (plan A) never survives first contact with the enemy, all of those that followed my father made the decision to kick her while she was down so they spread rumors of her trying to usurp fathers authority and with that she was exiled from the clan, but she didn't leave alone she had a companion to protect her. Moka and her companion traveled the entire elemental nations before they were known as such. Over the years she traveled until she came across another that can use chakra as naturally as she, the man resembled her father with pale skin, two horn like protrusion on his forehead, snow white hair and the most beautiful sapphire eyes that she had ever seen glowed with power. They ended up traveling the world together over their travels they ended up falling in love and then settled down on an island surrounded by Whirling tides. Then history repeated itself 1,894 years later with a red haired princess that was forced from her burning home land by an invading force of three different enemies of her home land's most recently formed sister village." Kurama, seeing Hiruzen about to ask a question, raised a hand to stop him. "I'll answer questions at the end. Now where was i oh yeah the Princess was evacuated by her guards to the Village to where her father resides, reaching the sister village all the princess could feel is anger, hatred from those around her and after some heard what village she was from. The villagers became cold and angry toward her calling her outsider saying she doesn't belong here, forgetting if it weren't for her home village theirs wouldn't be standing today. She went through life alone and hated for something out of her control, the only ones that treated her like a normal person was her Ōoba-chan, and the leader of the village. Years pass and she entered into the villages military academy at the age of eight, while in the academy she wasn't treated any better if not worse, the students would make fun of her hair while calling her degrading nicknames it wasn't till her second year that the bullying got physical, but she was ready to defend herself from them. One day within that same year another conflict was taking place in the least likely location, unless one had pior knowledge of its existence." "Well now that you know that lets continue, on the moon a child had awakened a higher stage of the Byakugan called the Tenseigan which hadn't been obtained by any of Hamura's descendants until then. This discovery made those in the clan split on what they should do with the child. One half wanted to use the child's power for themselves, while those who wanted to guide the child along in life to help him to create his own path were the other half, and two of those were his parents that were the clan heads at the time making this child the prince of the moon. Within a month there were open violents. In a last ditch effort to keep his son safe the clan head sent his son to a branch clan on earth, the only one they had contact with after hearing the other was just destroyed a few years ago which greatly saddened the clan head. With a heavy heart the clan head in the mists of chaos of battle took his son to earth to leave with his friend in the branch clan. The prince of the moon had to keep his lineage a secret from those around himself which made him lonely. He missed his family and would watch the moon every night wanting to return home to his loved ones. After a month of adjusting to his new home the Prince was enrolled into the villages military academy to gain strength to return home to see his family, but that all changed when he saw the most beautiful shade of red hair in his class. From that day forward the young prince was fully captivated by the red haired princess, once he heard she was from the clan of swirling tides the prince made his decision to confront the princess and see if she knew of his clan. One day he decided to confront the red haired princess, but couldn't find her. he looked high and low for her for hours until he found a trail of the crimson strands of her hair leading out of the village, the prince of the moon felt that something was wrong and ran in the direction where the trail of red lead. After running for so long the prince came across his red haired princess being dragged away in shackles by enemies of the village. Not wasting a second he took out each one silently using his eyes to strike killing blows taking one out at a time silently. Once the last one dropped he stood in front of the red haired princess who hadn't yet noticed her captors were dead as she kept walking hopelessly forward until she bumped into the young prince. Looking up, the princess was confused to see her classmate out here until she looked around to see her captors dead on the ground. The hopeless look dissipated, then looked at the boy in gratitude. Seeing that he has her attention finally the prince asked his his most wanted question, In the night the moon… hearing the phrase the red haired girls' eyes widened and spoke back, guides the whirling tides, and from that night forward the prince of the moon and the princess of the whirling tides were no longer alone they had each other." Kurama smirked, at the expressions of those around him. Naruto was enthralled but the look of longing in his eyes' was prevalent. Kakashi had the look of realization in his one visible eye while Anko and Yugao had the same expression. Tsubaki, Hana and Kurenai were wiping the tears from her eyes, Konohamaru was for some reason was looking at Naruto intently like he just figured out something and lastly the Hokage who had the same expression as his grandson, but for different reasons. Forming eye contact with the Hokage and nodding his head. "Oi! Kurama-nii are you gonna finish?" the blond asked the story touched base with the boy he wanted to know why.
The fox looked at Naruto and spoke. "That's it the sage died before he could finish it, but he said the story would be realized and finished by their child, the true heir." turning his head to the old monkey and spoke in a serious tone. "Hiruzen, I think it's time for him to know." was the statement of the biju in human form.
Hiruzen sighed, gaining everyone's attention, Focusing his gaze onto the young blond. "Naruto-kun." The aged kage started "I have something to tell you, something that you should have known of ever since you could understand words and emotions, something i've been dying to tell you for years, but i had to keep it from you until you were strong enough to protect yourself." taking in a very deep breath and wiping a tear from his eye. "Naruto-kun would you like to know about your parents?"
Naruto looked in shock at his Jiji as tears started to fall from his eyes'. "Yu-yu-you knew my parents?" the boy asked shaikly, his voice soft and pleading. He has always wanted to know his parents and today he just might get that and more.
The blond's pleading voice broke the hearts of all those in the room, Tsubaki and Anko looked at each other and nodded their heads. They stood up and went to sit next to their love, Tsubaki taking the spot to his right and Anko taking the spot on his left. They each grabbed one of his arms and hugged them to their chests while leaning into him, trying to show their support for him.
Damn near choking on his words, Hiruzen trugged forward ignoring the pain in his heart. "Yes Naruto-kun, your mother and father were the most wonderful individuals I could ever have the honor of meeting and being friends with."
"Who were they?" the boy asked softly, his sapphire eyes' had hope and longing swinging along the deep blues of his eyes'.
Hiruzen took in a breath and exhaled. "Your mothers name was Uzumaki Kushina also known as the red hot habanero and the Akaki shi no himegimi she as well as the princess of Ushio, she had the same red hair you now have at the tips of your hair, but hers was all red. She was a very kind and loving woman to those she cared about and she was very excited when she found out she was having you. Haha she ran your father ragged going to every store to get everything she needed to set up your nursery." Hiruzen paused and smiled in nostalgia as a single tear ran down his face from his left eye.
His voice cracked as he asked his next question. "Who-who was my-my father?"
The Hokage let out a shaky breath, he has wanted to do this for years. Why is he hesitating now? The old kage didn't know how the young boy would react to what he was about to say, but hoped Naruto would understand. Peering into the boy's eyes' and with a resignation. "Naruto-kun… my boy your father was a great man, amazing husband to your mother, as well as the greatest leader Konohagakure no Sato even though his reign wasn't long." Hearing gasps around the room, but that didn't matter to Hiruzen all of his attention was centered on the son of the one he was speaking of.
Naruto stared wide eyed at his Jiji in shock. "Yu-yu-you mean the yondaime is my father?"
The three that knew of Naruto's lineage didn't look surprised, just content that their favorite blond is finally being told where he comes from. Kurenai, Hana, Tsubaki and Konohamaru had incredulous looks on their faces and the youngest of the four was even more indignant and didn't mind sharing his thoughts.
Slamming his hands on to the table they were all seated at slightly cracking the table. "That's bullshit, everyone deifies the Yondaime, but demonizes his son! Yondaime-sama must be rolling in his grave." said the younger Sarutobi. Hiruzen smiled at his grandson, from when they met the two were the best of friends. Kakashi wanting to add his two ryo as well wanting to cheer up the young blond as well as enforcing the truth of his parents' love for him.
"Ma ma Kono-kun sensei was too merciful, he'd end all their lives quickly. It's Kushina-sama I'm more terrified of." the silver head said as he shivered, not seeing Yugao shivering as well.
Anko was the next to speak with admiration in her voice as she snuggled closer to Naruto. "Kushina-sama is a legend in the T I department, she had made the most thick skinned shinobi crack, and was known as the Crimson Demon within the T I department. So knowing what she has done there i would be excited to see what she would do to come back and see what the village has done to her child"
Seeing what the rest were doing Hiruzen wanted to add a few thoughts of his own. "Minato-kun was a scary man when it came to his children." Said the old kage, seeing if anyone caught what he just said.
"What do you mean children, Hokage-sama?" was in the querying voice of Tsubaki, her voice gaining the attention of everyone in the room, while Naruto looked hopeful.
"Minato-kun had a son with a Uchiha five years before Naruto-kuns birth." Hiruzen said, wondering if any of them could catch it.
Yugao had a thoughtful expression while thinking aloud. " the only Uchiha that was close to Yondaime-sama was Mikoto-sama…"
"Hahahaha" naruto laughed out loud. "That bastard lied to me! i'm gonna kick his ass when i see him next then kick his ass for leaving without saying see ya later." The blond said, confusing everyone around him while Naruto was mumbling curses under his breath.
Kakashi wide eyed asked the boy what he ment. "Naruto-kun, are you saying that you knew Itachi-kun was your brother?" That statement alone made everyone freeze their own thoughts to gape in surprised.
Naruto looked at Kakashi as if he was stupid. "I have this oversized doormat sealed inside of me." the whiskered cheeked boy said while pointing at the older version of himself. "And now knowing that my mother was his previous host, that means that I was being created close to his seal and knowing him he intended to boost my abilities while I was in the womb." the blond said while glancing over to his tent that was smirking at him.
Kurama laughed hearing the boy's thoughts on what happened. "Kit you don't know how close you really are." the fox said with amusement on this face. "Your mother was my partner in battle. We made the other villages run in fear, too bad we were both drowned in hatred so we couldn't fully maximize other combined strength, but she believed that you'd and I would be able to work together in harmony."
Hiruzen shuddered remembering how brutal Kushina was in the third war. One curious voice asked a question. "Umm… Kurama-san, were you angry that you were sealed or is it something else?"
Kurama looked at the one that just spoke, his eyes' were sharp. "Hmm… Tsubaki isn't?"
Tsubaki nodded to the biju, her eyes locked on to his. "How you were speaking it seems that the sealing isn't what had you so angry."
The Kitsune's eyes were now bored into Tsubakis' and then just like he wasn't intimidating he grinned at the girl. "Awe my host's future mate? You are quite smart aren't ya? Yes, the sealing wasn't the reason I was so angry, so let's begin, I used to live in Uzu no Kuni with the Uzumaki clan while having a strong relationship with the clan for centuries."
Hiruzen understood quickly and spoke his thoughts. "So your anger was for the destruction of Uzushiogakure?"
Kurama nodded his head to the kage. "Yes when I heard of their destruction I was enraged, my little sisters' clan was destroyed and their Birthright stolen. I tried to get Mito to go and help, but she wouldn't listen, she kept telling me it was her job to keep me safe. After that day I never talked to her again, not even when she was on her deathbed. I ignored her call till the very last of her life, and I don't regret it either. She prevented me from helping my sister's descendents."
Hiruzen looked down in sadness remembering all the corpses with in the village. "Did she tell you why she didn't go help?"
Kurama snarled while his slitted eyes thinned even more. "She was a naive child, she forgot about the seal holding my grandfather, the white Dragon of hatred, the strongest of all elder dragons."
"did she ever remember?" asked Konohamaru he had never heard of this elder dragon.
"Yes, but she didn't figure it out on her own, I told her before I was fully transferred to Kushina-chan. She was incredibly broken in her last moments, and to be honest I regret having her die a hollow woman lamenting on her betrayal of her family, but if I saw her again I wouldn't say sorry she has to live with her betrayal in life and in death." said the biju while looking toward the floor.
The room was silent until Naruto changed the subject. "Okay let's move on this subject sucks and is boring, it's in the past now plus if that dragon breaks out, I'll just have to hunt it down and turn him into a set of armor." said the blond as his eyes glazed over dreaming of the badass armor he'd make.
Kurama chuckled while the rest looked worried. "kit you'll need to get stronger for us to fight him, it took all nine of us and the Uzumaki clan to seal him away."
"what!? It took all nine biju to stop the thing?" asked shouted everyone in the room.
Rubbing the back of his head the fox smiled. "Yeah, he was kicking our asses until the Uzumaki sealed him."
Everyone was in thought, thinking of how they were gonna fight something like that.
"Just you watch, I'll get strong enough to fight it." roared the blond in excitement while his two little wyverns did the same with cute little squeaks which made the girls Coued at the cuteness of the three.
Kurama chuckled, he lifted his hand and reached over to ruffle the blonds head. "In that case kit I have something to unseal on you. It's something your mother and father made with my help, but first I have to ask you something. Do you care about what the villagers think of you?"
Naruto gave Kurama a blank look. "No, not really."
The biju smiled and laughed. "Good you're gonna like what your parents made for you. Too bad they didn't live long enough to finish the process for themselves."
Curious silver haired dog summoner asked the question everyone was wondering. "Kurama-san, is it what I think it is?"
Kurama grinned. "Oh so they told you about it then?" asked the fox gaining as Kakashi nodded his head in affirmation.
"Well alright here we go." Said the fox as he went through a chain of seals once he was done there was an orange flame of chakra on his thumb. "Alright girls I'm gonna need you to step To the side for a bit."
Nodding Tsubaki and Anko removed themselves from the blond, albeit reluctantly. Once they moved, Kurama leaned forward and placed his thumb with the orange chakra in the middle of Naruto's forehead.
"Uzumaki Fuinjutsu: heavenly deception kai." Kurama intoned.
All over Naruto's body thin golden chains append wrapping around him as the Ends of the chains looked like they were coming from thin air. "Okay kit this is gonna hurt a little bit, this artificial bloodline Limit your parents and I developed is gonna change your body a bit so bare with it." Kurama said softly, getting a nod from the blond. "Alright let's count down from three." Kurama urged softly.
Naruto was nervous but nodded again "three, two arghhh! kURamA YoU BaSteReD!"
"Mahaha'' Kurama started to cackle as he broke the first chain. "You're gonna call me an oversized doormat again." Kurama asked menacingly.
Catching his breath while on his hands and knees, Naruto looked up at Kurama with a smirk. "Oh? Do you prefer to be identified as cArPet!" The blond screamed out in pain again as Kurama broke the second and final chain with a manic grin on his face while the rest sweat dropped at their antics.
"Kit, it surprises me how much you're like your father, little shit bag would talk shit to me endlessly until Kushina-chan got tired of our bickering and kicked both of us out the seal. Your father back into his body and puffed me out into Kage Bunshin, we'd always run off to the valley of the end to Duke it out." the biju said with a fond smile.
While Naruto was on the ground catching his breath everyone else was stunned. Kakashi was the first to ask the confused question. "umm… Kurama-san I know my sensei was strong but he wasn't that strong?"
Kurama chuckled again as his smile contorted to a mischievous grin. "Well only an Otsutsuki could give me a decent challenge in combat, especially one with high ocular prowess like he did-" Kurama clasped a hand over his mouth in an over exaggerated way. "oops I wasn't supposed to say that." He continued mockingly.
Hiruzen was rubbing the bridge of his nose in exasperation while the rest looked at Naruto in interest. "So does that mean Naruto is the heir to the Otsutsuki clan?" asked a curious Yugao.
Kurama grinned. "Oh yeah, if the kit wanted to he could make the entirety of Hyuga clan his Servants by clan laws."
Hiruzen slammed his hands on the table in anger. "How does that work, the Hyuga aren't a branch family to another clan!" Hiruzen was pissed at the thought of having a way to break that Goddamn caged bird seal but hadn't used it yet.
"jiji Kurama-san told us that the Hyuga were descendants of the Otsutsuki!" Konohamaru yelled to get his grandfather back down to earth. He knows how much his grandfather hates the caged bird seal.
Hiruzen regained his composure, and spoke. "I think it would be a good idea to hide Naruto's Otsutsuki blood from the village's upper brass for now I still have purging to do in the village. Naruto-kun, can you look at me." the old kage asked, looking at the boy's still down form.
Naruto groaned in protest as he lifted himself off the floor, looking up toward the Hokage to see a surprised expression on his face. "What's up, do I have something on my face?" Questioned the blond as he stretched his body out. The boy was pretty much the same with just a few extra Appendages.
Anko and Tsubaki were blush up a storm while Gazing at Naruto, the blond reddish haired boy was missing the ears on the side of his head and were replaced by two golden blond fox ears with blood red tips and two fluffy fox tails swaying behind him they were the same color blond with red tips. While Naruto was stretching his new ears twitched with the movement.
Hiruzen Sighed. "Naruto-kun you're just trouble, and how could Minato-kun and Kushina-chan make an artificial blood line like that, but I can't blame them. They didn't know how foxes would Be treated by the village.
Ears twitching Naruto looked to see what was moving behind Him to see two fox tails poking out from his pants, the boy didn't take his eyes' off of the twin set of tails as he reached his hand up to the weird twitch on top of his head only to feel an odd flap of cartilage similar to and animals ear… everyone saw Naruto freeze in place after he touched his new ear, then in one motion Naruto launched himself at Kurama intending to drive a punch in to his stomach only to be batted aside by a larger burnt orange tail that came from the older kitsune, but what the two kitsune didn't notice is how fast Naruto moved. For Hiruzen, Kakashi, Yugao and Anko the boy moved at high chunin to low jonin speeds, for Tsubaki, Konohamaru and Kurenai they didn't even see him move until they heard a bang coming from the wall behind Naruto sat to see the boy sprawled out on the floor.
"Muahahaha" was what they heard from Kurama, turning their gazes to the older kitsune to see his tails and ears out. "Kit, you're 1800 years too young to pull a fast one on me." the older kitsune laughed.
Crawling back to the table to sit Naruto was glomped by Anko and Tsubaki who were immediately touching and scratching his ears, Kakashi was interested in seeing so he got up and walked over to Naruto only for the boy stiffen when he caught the silver haired scent and darted behind Kurama to hide his ears folded back as his eyes slitted. Everyone but one was confused by the blond's action and she let her fury be known.
Wap!
"Ow! Hana-chan, what was that for." the silver haired jonin wined while he rubbed his head.
"Don't Hana-chan me, Naruto-kun's bloodline just became active! Do you know what happens when a weaker fox smells a dog, let alone a strong one!" Hana roared at Kakashi, whom was looking down in shame, while everyone looked at Naruto whom was still wrapped in Kurama's tails shivering while his eyes' were still slitted and ears still folded back. Hana being the vet/mednin she was went through a few hand seals and deleted her scent and walked over to the skittish Naruto with medical chakra coding her hands after a few slow steps she reached Naruto and placed a her hand on his forehead after a few moments the boy's eyes' started to droop until they were fully closed. Once the blond was asleep Kurama unwrapped his tails from around the boy and gently sat him onto the floor with one of his tails acting like a pillow. Turning his gaze to Hana with respect in his eye.
"Thank you, Naruto was running on fumes today. The kit needs some sleep." unconsciously Tsubaki and Anko moved over to Naruto only for Tsubaki to lift his head and move Kurama's tail then place Naruto's head on her lap. Anko just sat next to Tsubaki like she was waiting for a turn to give Naruto a lap pillow. Kurama slid his gaze to the Hokage, with a serious look in his eyes'. "I'm guessing my father warned you about our new external threats, and don't worry, I trust this lot."
The Hokage nodded "yes and i informed the Shinobi council, we're making pushes to secure the village first then Hi no kuni second, and the Fire daimyo will be here in a few days to pass judgment to those who broke the laws along with coming to meet his nephew in person."
"Oh so he decided to not wait anymore, don't get me wrong he's a great guy, but he was too paranoid that the boy would get hurt." the fox said as Hiruzen nodded, he knew how much the fire lord wanted to see his nephew.
Kurama had a feral grin formed on his face. "Oh? How did he take to the abuse?"
Hiruzen smiled. "Like any other Uzumaki, straight to violents."
Kurama laughed. "Him and his sister were hellspawns, I tell you, should have been there when they recognized each other. The capital was in chaos, the pranks were glorious."
"Umm there are others here that don't know what you're talking about." voiced Kurenai, who was still stuck on the fact Naruto is all around royalty not just in the village and, but the country as well.
Hiruzen cleared his throat. "Well you see the new Daimyo that took the throne 14 years ago is Kushina's brother, but when Kurama-san here was controlled by someone on the day he attacked. The new daimyo couldn't take Naruto-kun in because of the court at that point in time being in chaos, he also didn't want any political rival to use the boy for blackmail."
Kurenai was rubbing the temples to seem to be a headache. "I think I'm done for the night, this was way too much of lore dump for me to handle."
Kurama chuckled at the mentally exhausted expressions of those who had no knowledge of 80% of the topics. "Trust me this kit is something else, blessed by those higher than us to bring peace to the world." said the Kitsune who had smirked at the sound of heads hitting the table.
Hearing the Hokage clear his throat to gain everyone's attention. "I hope everyone understands that everything spoken of here is a triple S class secret and needs to be kept to yourselves."
"Understood Hokage-sama!" was the unified response from those around the room.
"Shhh! Naruto-kun is sleeping." was the dual response from Anko and Tsubaki as they sent everyone a glare making them all look sheepish.
"Well I think that's enough for tonight, we all have a lot to do tomorrow don't you agree Hiruzen?" question the voice of Kurama, who was smiling fondly at the protectiveness of the Kit's Mates.
Hiruzen hummed in agreement as he tried not to cry manly tears because of the loving sight in front of him, he had always known of the girl's crush and subsequent feeling of love for the boy. He loved the memory of when he confronted them on their feelings, chuckling internally he spoke. "Yes, I think it's been an exhausting day for us all, especially Naruto-kun." getting nods from those seated around the table.
Clapping his hands Kurama looked at the two girls coddling the younger Kitsune with his head layed one each of their thighs getting a lap pillow, while the girls ran their hands through the boys hair and a cationally rubbing his new foxy ears making them twitch. The loving looks on Anko's and Tsubaki's faces was an adorable scene. "Mates of my host, would you mind carrying the kit back to his home? I would do it but, we don't need the Village to go off the deep end feeling my chakra."
Hearing the older Kitsune talking to them, they nodded. "Of course/No problem."
"Okay i'll disable the Barrier, just be ready for the influx of chakra entering your chakra hibachi so get ready." said the younger Sarutobi who started to go through a sequence of hand seal ending on "tora" the purple glow around the room dispersed into particles that fed into the glowing seal of vitality that was shining through their clothing.
In an amazing display of Narutos' fuinjustu mastery, tendrils of chakra emerged from the Uzumaki crest on the ceiling. They all watched as each tendril connected to the vitality seal on their stomachs as the chakra script turned green and at that very instant everyone felt the influx of condensed chakra entering their system. "Woah? That felt weird." The first to speak was Hana.
"Yeah? I'm gonna have to agree on that one." was the admission of the Genjustu mistress, she had a weird feeling when the chakra entered her body. It felt like the chakra was melding with her own chakra, not like it was getting diluted, but that her chakra was becoming denser.
Hiruzen looked on in amazement of the function of the seal, turning his gaze to his grandson… well the one that was still awake. "Kono-kun, i want you to go home tomorrow you gonna be training with Naruto-kun." Gaining a mischievous smile the kage also added. "And before you ask, it's because you're gonna be on his team."
Konohamaru nodded his head to his grandfather, and got up and left the room. Turning his gaze to see the rest in the room to see that Tsubaki and Anko have already absconded off with his unconscious grandson and his two little wyverns. Locking gazes with his future daughter in-law, her tired smile said it all, she was happy for Naruto to finally get to know about his parents, but it seems that the rest of the information was too much for her to take in. "Go home Kurenai-chan, and get some rest, Asuma-kun will return with the daimyo in a week."
Nodding her head gratefully Kurenai got up from her seat and left the room with Yugao and Hana following her after bowing towards the Hokage, and that just left Kakashi and the Hokage himself.
'Kakashi-kun you're free to go, we'll be starting Naruto-kuns training at 8am in the morning." said the Kage, getting a nod from his subordinate as they both left in a shunshin.
Within a deep white void, nothing could be seen. In its wide expanse just white could be seen.
"I'd say he'll be ready to go to my dimension in the next 3 to 4 years, but I have to say Hagoromo-dono this boy of yours has honestly lived through the most horrible existence and still has a soul more pure than mine that is rare to see." spoke a man, his voice gentle and kind.
The Rikudo-sennin had a solemn look on his face. "I did see the treatment of my daughter's descendant. Trust me, I wanted to help the boy, but i couldn't not until now, and now the boy has the potential of surpassing me in power. I can't wait to have this boy among me and my brother. Plus with the emergence of the Tenseigan in Naruto-kun i wonder if it and Rinnegan will meld together or will he have to activate them separately." said the sage in excitement at the end.
"Well I'm planning on giving the boy samsara, and with your help in creating it like seriously your seal work is impeccable. This beauty is able to channel the high density of yin chakra in my dimension along with the combination of yin and yang chakra, which will make this spear the ultimate medium for any elemental abilities, also your creation ability would also be enhanced." said the unknown man, he had pride in his voice for his creation which if a person who knew this man would be incredulous.
"You know… I've been wondering why are you in that form? You know I can see through it right?" asked the sage, his question was honest.
"Yu-yu-you can see me!?" The other voice exclaimed, their voice surprised and if someone paid attention they could hear the fear in their voice.
"of Course I can you forget that I can see through any forms of chakra that includes what you call magic which is a more dense form of yin chakra, also don't worry i have no interest in you and before you ask i loved my wife very deeply so i have no need for anyone else as a partner." Said the sage, a small smile formed on his face at the thought of his wife.
"Oh that's reassuring-" spoke the other person before they were interrupted.
"Plus I think you have an eye for someone much younger than I, and if I were to be bold to speak my thoughts aloud I would think it is my heir." said Hagoromo, as a mischievous smile spread on his face making his wrinkles deepen.
Letting out a deep sigh the other occupant of the white void. "Ya know your empath abilities are hacks, I just want you to know that Hagoromo."
"Mahaha, you're calling my empath abilities hacks, coming from someone that can see into people's souls, that's what I call hacks." laughed the sannin.
"Moe" the other occupant pouted. "Any living being can in a sense hide their soul, you on the other hand can sense real time emotions and no matter the training or seals no one can hide their true emotions from you." the other voice whined petulantly.
"Mahaha" laughed the Sannin. "That is true, but what I'm wondering is when you're gonna give Naruto-kun that spear…" he paused in thought, then a moment later he smirked, which looked demonic. "Oh? is that why you're giving Naruto-kun the spear, giving your potential betrothed a new shiny weapon.
"N-no!" Voiced the other occupant, totally ignoring the fact a stutter left their lips.
"Hahaha, when is the boy going to receive his new toy?" Asked the sage, a questioning expression taking its place on his face.
"Oh that? He already has it. All he needs to do is call it forth." the unknown occupant responded.
"Hmm, I wonder when he'll need to summon it, the boy's a battlefield genius. I wonder what would push him enough to call it forth." Hagoromo pondered aloud.
"Well we'll just have to wait and see don't we, I'm just excited to see him in action." the other being exclaimed.
next day
Like any other morning in Konohagakure. The sounds of local wildlife naturally waking up the residence of the village. Marking the start of the day where the sounds of civilians and merchants starting their daily activities, merchants opening their shops and stalls for the flow of civilians and shinobi starting the new day fresh and all this could be seen from the Hokage office.
Taking in a breath of air Sarutobi Hiruzen watched his village come to life before his eyes. "This peaceful feeling, it's nice."
"And That's why we fight to keep our home safe."
Turning around to see his student sitting on one of the couches in the room with his legs crossed. "Awe Jiraiya-kun, I see you're up and ready to go?"
"Yosh! I got done with setting seals all over the village. I'm just waiting to get the gaki to integrate his chakra into the system." The white haired sage said excitedly.
"Hahaha" laughed the old Kage. "I'm glad to hear that we'll go get the boy within the next two hours." Said the Sarutobi.
"Oh so the kids training is starting at 8am, that's pretty early especially with the night he had?" asked the sannin, as he looked at his sensei in confusion.
"Of course!" The old kage said with exhaustion evident in his tone. "Naruto-kun's existence is based on fighting gods Jiraiya-kun! All I can do is prepare him for his journey into the unknown, but last night gave me hope that he wouldn't walk this path alone."
"Hmm, did I miss something last night from the time I split from you?" Jiraiya questioned while looking at his sensei, his gaze full of intrigue.
Rubbing his face with his hands. "Yes. A lot happened last night."
"Oh? Tell me about it." Was the excited response from the white haired man.
The Hokage grinned. "You'll see it when we go get Naruto-kun later." Pausing for a moment then continued. "Did you know Naruto-kun made a communication Seal.
Within an apartment on the western part of the village three people could be seen sleeping comfortably on a full size bed. Streams of the morning sunlight peeking through the window of the bedroom washing away the darkness of the night. On the bed one of the occupants started to wake, their eyes started to flutter open only for sapphire orbs for all the world to see.
"Where am I? … what happened? Argh my head." the boy groaned, reaching for his head to try to alleviate the pounding in his skull and that's when he figured out he couldn't move his arms. Finally awake enough to have all his Cognitive faculties.
"Gamers Mind Activated! Good morning Gamer! You have slept in a bed, your (HP) and (CP) have been fully restored."
Feeling the calming sensation flowed throughout his body, calming his mind and washing away the early morning fog. Looking around to see why he couldn't move only for his eyes to bug out only for the Gamer's mind to calm him enough to think clearly. "Okay, why are both Anko-chan, and Tsubaki-chan in my bed? better thought how did I get to my bed, and what happened last night?" Naruto mentally pondered, it's not like he didn't like and enjoyed being sandwiched between two very beautiful women.
"Aw Kit you're awake." the deep rumbling voice of his new friend and brother resounded in his mind. Then with a mischievous tone the fox continued. "oh? I didn't mean to entrued."
Naruto groaned within his mind, then had the urge to punch Kurama in the snout. "Oi Kurama! Not the time, what happened last night and are the twins okay?"
A mirthful chuckle echoed throughout his head. Naruto had a twitching eye at the foxes' antics. "Calm down kit, your literal pet wyverns are fine, if you can crain your head enough to look down toward the end of the bed you'd see the two sleeping peacefully."
Doing just that the blond boy craned his head up to get a hood view of the bed in its entirety. Seeing the two curled up and snoozing away no worries in the world. That made him smile softly at the two adorable hatchlings, he hadn't ever thought he… Uzumaki Naruto would be the first to tame one of the most aggressive wyvern breeds. Let alone two of them, but he wasn't complaining he had two new friends that's all that mattered.
Hearing a hum within his mind the fox spoke. "Hey kit you know that this sapling is quite interesting, it's absorbing your and mine chakra, but it's also releasing a more dense chakra back into me and you respectively via the seal."
Naruto was confused so he decided to enter the seal, closing his eyes and concentrating when the boy appeared in front of the cage of his tenant, within his mindscape . "I really hate that cage." his eyes roaming around the mental plain to see his friend stared at the golden sapling intently.
"Yeah, I don't like it either, but we'll have to deal with it for a while longer." Was the instant response from his tenant.
Making his way closer to his friend and the sapling. By getting closer the two could see the saplings' passive golden glow started to glow brighter and a hum picked up in volume as if it sensed the boy that just appeared In the mindscape.
"Hmm it looks like it's responding to your presence… That's interesting?"
"How's that Kurama-nii?" Questioned the curious Blond kitsune, as he tilted his head to the side while his ears twitched.
For a moment Kurama looked to be in thought, turning his massive head toward the younger Kitsune. "Hey kit, use your Observe skill on the tree."
Blinking in surprise, then going bug eyed then ended it with a face palm. "Why didn't I think of that?" Was the mumbled response that Was heard from the boy.
Kurama could only chuckle softly, he found it amusing when the younger Kitsune thought he should know everything that is asked of him, and if he didn't know or didn't think of a solution beforehand, and when that happens he tends to believe he's stupid or uneducated compared to his peers even though he is on another level altogether even without the gifts that were given. "It's okay kit, don't let your intellect be down played by the villagers."
Naruto felt happy for being acknowledged, but he tried to hide it, and to him he thought he did a good job at it. Unknown to the young kitsune his twin tails were wagging behind making the older kitsune laugh.
Focusing his intent on the sapling the skill activated and what was shown baffled both kitsune.
"Observe Skill has been activated."
"Erd Tree sapling, the erd tree is similar to the shinju as it is a divine entity, but that's where similarities ends. while the shinju Cultivate such power much like a parasite draining it's host world of all life, the erd tree on the other hand absorbs the ambient energy formed by creation, so instead of killing off life it waits till life ends on its own and either absorbs the power or revives the being or even creating new life. Another difference Between the two is how one can utilize the power, while one can consume the fruit that The shinju grows after all it's host's world is fully consumed of all life, on the other side of the coin the erd tree can form a spiritual bond with its host and the energy it absorbs can fed into its bonded host after give the energy a divine quality to it."
"Holy shit!" was the response of the two kitsune.
Kurama looked at the younger boy in thought. "Is this why father visited when the boy found the seed?"
Our poor protagonist was off in another plain of existence with the information he was just told, but a faded voice spoke out making both with their head toward the tree.
"Some say visions of prophecies are held by those blessed by thy Erd Tree, but to those cursed by thy Tree will never be blessed so, then why would a banished child of thy Golden linyage see so." to the kitsune this spiritual connection felt weak, but could hear the feminine voice. It sounded tired, weak. Naruto did like the feeling. It reminded him of the hurting pretty tall lady and he didn't like it so he focused on the connection which was coming from the sapling, and focused his chakra through the connection, unbeknownst to the boy he did what he intended to do. The heart felt strength once more and the other two could hear it in her voice. "thy hero, one of purple eyes foreign to this world. Yet shined with power and kindness, one of nine tails, Thy one that shines of true gold."
"I'll be waiting for thou, thy true golden hero."
Turning his head to the equally flabbergasted tenant, the boy didn't have anything to say, but looked at the tree in awe, then a question came to the forefront of his mind, placing his hand on the tree he asked. "Have you decided where you want to be planted or homed?" There were no verbal answers, but both kitsune were bombarded with mental images.
"Isn't that the Shodais forest?" The blond asked no one in particular.
Kurama nodded his massive head. "Yes, and I can see why, that place is loaded with natural chakra, it would make a good nursery for the seed and plenty of energy to use."
Naruto nodded at the older kitsune's words. "I'll ask jiji he'll need to know I'm gonna be growing a divine tree in the Shodai's forest." was the flippant response.
"Good." Kurama Nodded his head. "I believe that this is a massive boon for what's yet to come."
Not hearing a response from the boy Kurama looked to see the boy becoming transparent. "Awe it looks like your mates are waking you up." The shit eating grin on his vulpine snout stretched wider when the boy's face took on the color of his mother's hair at the statement before completely disappearing from the mindscape, but not before he responded to the fox.
"Asshole"
Back into the real world Naruto opens his eyes to Anko rubbing his cheek where his whisker marks were. Then out of nowhere the most embarrassing thing that could ever happen happened he started purring not noticing the stars in Anko's eyes.
"Anko-chan please stop!" The blond let out in between purrs.
Hearing the pitter patter of bare feet entering the room to see Tsubaki entering the room with a happy smile on her face, what got the blond confused was the fact that she was only wearing a set of orange bra and panties. "Anko-chan is Naruto-kun awake yet?" She stopped at the sight of a struggling Naruto that was trying to squirm away from Anko who was only wearing her panties that were purple and black in design.
Looking toward her friend with a mischievous smile on her face. "Aw, Tsubaki-chan come Naruto-kun purrs when you rub his whisker marks."
Naruto-kun felt a shiver go down his Spine at the beaming smile until she leaped at them landing on the unoccupied side of the bed and started to rub his whisker marks.
"Oi!" The boy cried out before his purring drowned out his protests.
Hearing a cough, then a set of perverted giggles.
