===July 19, 8:35 AM, Konoha, Park===

Before Hanabi can say anything her stomach growls loudly.

Naruto looks at Hanabi and smiles. "How about we get breakfast and you can tell me everything that's happened." Naruto stood and offered his hand to Hanabi, she looked at it for a minute before standing and taking his hand.

Hanabi looked up at him. "Can we get barbecue please."

"It's a little early for that... but then I usually have ramen for breakfast. Ok, I know a place that's open, hang on tight and brace yourself, I just learned how to do this." Naruto said and she did as asked, then he used a technique Yoruichi taught him she called the Flash Step. According to Mayuri its similar to the Shunshin in use and range, but unlike the Shunshin it was actually a teleport, but you had to be strong to use it because of the strain it put on the body, at least until you got use to it.

Appearing outside of the restaurant Hanabi fell on her butt. After a small chuckle Naruto helped Hanabi up to her feet. "Sorry about that, but I'm still getting used to the technique." He said and smiled.

Hanabi grabs Naruto's hand in both of hers. "Will you please teach me that, it was so cool jumping in place."

Naruto just laughed. "Ok, ok, calm down I'll see what I can do about teaching you the technique, now let's go in so we can eat breakfast... they won't serve us out here in the street."

Inside they're met by a waitress with a smile. "Good morning, will you be needing a table or booth?" After he says 'a booth' she nods and grabs 2 menus. "If you'd please follow me I'll show you to your booth." She said then lead them to the back of the restaurant in the corner. Naruto and Hanabi take a seat at the booth then the waitress takes out a notepad. "Can I get you something to start with?"

"Can we get a pot of green tea please?" Hanabi asks.

She writes down the order. "Your tea would be here soon, then I'll take your order." She said then left.

Naruto looks at Hanabi. "I want you to start at the beginning."

Hanabi looks down. "Okay..." Over the next hour Hanabi told Naruto how her Father forced Hinata into the dojo and made her fight one of the clan elders, and even after she was beaten he refused to stop the fight and kept calling her week, saying that she was not a worthy clan heir and after she collapsed he ordered the doctor just to put her in her bed and if she woke up fine, but if she didn't that would just prove what a disgrace she is. By the time Hanabi finished telling the story she crying. She looked up at Naruto. "Later that night Father had me come to his office and he told me if I do not start improving my skills and grades he'll strip me of my title, disown me and put the Caged Bird seal on my forehead, I wouldn't even be a Branch family member I'd be a servant to both of the Main and the Branch family."

Naruto reached across the table and took her hand. "Have you gone to the Hokage and told him what's going on Hanabi?"

"Yes. I talked to him but he said he can't do anything because it's a clan affair. I actually slept in the park last night because I'm so afraid to go home, I really don't have any friends at the Academy and most of the other clans of the village don't like Hyuga."

Suddenly Naruto hears his Father telling him of a law that can help.

"Naruto listen very carefully, there is a law that was put in place by the Shodai Hokage, this law states that if a clan heir or heiress is being abused by their family he or she can renounce their status if another clan from the village is willing to take them in, but they need to get approval from every member of the clan. Normally this would be very hard to do, but there is a loophole in the law... you are the current head of two Clans and the only active member, so all she needs to do is go to the Hokage and activate the law, but if she does this that would mean you would be responsible for her from this day forward. The law also states that if two or more Clan Heads agree, if an heir of another Clan is being abused by their family they can step in if it is a matter of Health." Minato said.

"Okay, that makes sense why was this law made." Naruto commented.

"Naruto, this law was made during the War, the Shodai Hokage saw how the Clans were treating their kids so he made this law to protect them and it was signed by all of the original clans when the village was founded, if one of the clans refused to accept this law they were automatically banished from the village and their chakra was permanently sealed." Minato said.

Coming out of his thoughts Naruto can see the worried expression on Hanabi's face, he gives her hand a squeeze. "Don't worry, I know of a law that can save you and your sister, but this comes with a price. You need to understand that if we go with this law you would be stripped of your title, you would no longer be considered part of the Hyuga Clan and you'll never be able to go back, but if you do this you can become a member of my Clan... right now that's just me, but I have an idea of how to get more members. You'd have new brothers and sisters and we'd have a big happy family. If you become a member of my family you will not have to be a ninja, you could do what you want, you can open a store or restaurant, it wouldn't matter as long as you're happy... the choice is yours and yours alone."

"But if I leave the Clan won't they brand me with the seal?" Hanabi asked nervously.

Naruto smirked. "That's the beauty of this law. Since they haven't put it on your forehead yet, if you activate this law they can't put it on you because you'd no longer be considered a Hyuga, they're only allowed to put it on family members."

"But what about Hinata, I can't stand the thought of leaving her there."

Naruto just smiled. "Don't worry, she's coming with us."

"If you can really help us like you said I want you to do it, that compound isn't a home it's more like a prison." Hanabi said.

Naruto pays the bill and returns for Hanabi. "Let's go make you an official member of my clan... it's kind of funny, I've always wanted a little sister." Hanabi immediately hugged him around the waist and he hugged her back. "Don't worry, from now on you going to be a lot happier with me.

Hanabi looks up at her new big brother. "Did you mean it when you said I could be anything I want..." Naruto nodded. "Can I open my own Bakery, it's one of my dreams, Baking is something we like to do."

Naruto looks down at her. "Of course you can, but that won't be for quite a while, you're too young right now. I know I said you don't have to be a ninja but I would like you to continue training so you could protect yourself and your new family if you have to." Hanabi nods.

===9:56 AM, Outside the Hokage Tower===

Stopping near the door Naruto kneels. "Hanabi, are you ready to do this?" A moment later she nods. "Once we're inside I need you to be quiet and let me do all the talking, unless I give you the signal then I need you to speak clearly... do you understand?" Hanabi nods then they enter and walk up the stairs to the top floor, enter the waiting room and approach the secretary's desk. "Good morning Aimi."

Aimi looks up, briefly shocked to see Naruto, then smiled. "Good morning to you as well Naruto, are you here to see the Hokage?"

"Yes, and I suggest you take a break, he's got a lot of explaining to do and you may not want to be here. I'm asking you as a favor Aimi... take a break." Aimi looks at him a moment then sighed and left the office. Naruto walked to the Hokage's office door and goes in.

Hearing his door opening Hiruzen looks up, sees Naruto then Hanabi hyuga come in and smiles. "Naruto my boy it's good to see you, how goes your training."

Naruto's emotionless expression doesn't change. "Cut the crap, we have a lot to talk about. Let's start with the fact that you lied to me about my parents and don't even think about giving me that story of I don't know who your parents are that you have been telling me since I was five! My parents are a Princess and Kage, maybe you know their nicknames, the Crimson Maelstrom and the Yellow Flash... or how about I call them by their names, Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze!"

Hanabi looked at Naruto with stars in her eyes as she then squealed excitedly. "Your Mother was a Princess, that's so cool!" He looked down at her with his signature fox-like grin and nodded.

Hiruzen let out a breath, emotionally he felt like Naruto just kicked him in the balls. "Naruto you need to understand what I did was for the best, both of your parents made a lot of enemies..."

"That's bullshit!" Naruto interrupted. "According to my research, right now the only threat we have is Iwa, but even after 17 plus years they are still trying to build up the forces that they lost in a third Great War. And due to some recent information that I just got, the war in the Water Country will be coming to an end very soon and because I helped some people I've secured an alliance with them that will be signed once it's over, so that's two Villages down, we're already allies with Suna so that makes three Villages down. I do agree with you that Kumo would have been a problem if the 3th Raikage was still in office, but since Ai is the 4th Raikage and while it's true that he and my Father were rivals he respected my Father for his power, add to that his younger brother is Jinchuuriki of the eight-tails and they've always seen them as Guardians that means your excuse is flawed... you could have revealed my heritage a long time ago. There's also the fact that my parents had friends in this village that could've adopted me, so you can give me a reason right now why I shouldn't just pack up everything my parents left and leave this Village... and you should know that the Wave Country has recently started up its own ninja program, and with my help they already have an Academy started with close to 40 students... and I'm already a hero there so I don't see them turning me away. In fact they've already asked me to stay, they know that I'm a Jinchuuriki, told me that they don't care and have already accepted me and Fuu with open arms."

Hiruzen set behind his desk with his head down, but still looking at the boy who he considered a second grandson. "You're correct Naruto, all I can say is I made a lot of mistakes. If you can please just find it in your heart to forgive me I would do anything, and I know that it might take me many years to get your trust back."

Naruto stood there looking at the man who he considered a grandfather for most of his life. "You're right, it's going to take you many years to get my trust and respect back, and as of right now I'm claiming both of my positions, so effective immediately I am the head of both Uzumaki and Namikaze Clans... refuse me this and I'll take all of my clan holdings and leave, do you understand."

Hiruzen walked to the left wall, removed the picture of 4th, put his hand there, a seal appeared then opened a small compartment, he took out a scroll. "This is a map of, and key to your compound. I'll have to check into all your clan funds as that's controlled by the Civilian half Council, the Clan Heads have to influence over the other Clan's holdings or accounts."

Naruto put the scroll away. "If I find out any of my money is missing there won't be a Civilian Council... and you're going to announced my heritage at the Finals. If you don't I'll leave the village and take everything, and everyone that's wants to, with me to Wave."

Hiruzen just nodded. "Do you mind telling me how you came across all this information?"

"No, it is clan related... and you're lucky I don't have the Uzumaki Clan symbol removed from Konoha, and you know I can do it too so don't push your luck with me." Naruto said then looked down at Hanabi give a small nod.

Hanabi straightened up and stepped forward. "Hokage-sama, I came here yesterday to get help and you told me you couldn't help me because it was it was a clan-related matter and you can not interfere, but that was a lie... thanks to my new big brother he informed me of a law which I am going to activate right now. I, Hanabi Hyuga, hereby renounce the hyuga Clan name and severe all ties to that family in accordance with the laws set down by the First Hokage under the subject of Clan abuse of it heir or heiress. I hereby ask the Uzumaki Clan for sanctuary."

Naruto stepped up next to her. "I, Naruto Uzumaki, as Clan Head, hereby give Hanabi the protection of my Clan and grant her full membership."

Hiruzen walked over to the bookshelf between the pictures and the seat by the door, took a large book off it and back to his desk. "If you would give me a moment I'll look this up, and if it's as you say it is I'll grant your request.

Naruto heard his Dad's voice again and grinned. "It's page 196, 6th paragraph, section Q under Clan related abuse... and it's signed by the Shodai Hokage and all of the original Clan Heads."

Looking up at Naruto with shock, Hiruzen quickly goes to the page number, after a few minutes of reading he falls back into his chair. "Naruto how did you know about that law, I'd completely forgotten about that."

"You know people call me the dead last, but just because I was doesn't mean that I'm stupid. Not having many friends in his village I had a lot of free time so I studied all the laws of this Village because I've always wanted to become the Hokage and I thought that maybe if I knew all the laws it would help me." Naruto said then thought. 'That's only half true and I had a some special help, but I'm not telling him that.'

Opening a drawer on his desk Hiruzen pulled out a piece of paper and quickly wrote for a few minutes half filling the sheet, and once finished he looked at Naruto. "I need you to sign this." Naruto walked up to the desk, grabbed the paper and started reading. He saw the look on Hiruzen's face. "You don't think I'll just sign without read it first, I'm not stupid." Hiruzen didn't even react that time.

Once his parents told him that the document did what he said, Naruto quickly signed his name, handed it to Hanabi who just as quickly signed her name, then he handed it back to Hiruzen who put the Hokage Seal on it to make it official. "Congratulations Naruto, you now have a second clan member."

The moment she heard this Hanabi started to dance around the office. This came to a stop as the door flew open and in her Father walked in.

Hiashi stormed up to the desk on Naruto's right, seeing but ignoring him. "Hokage-sama I want you to send out a search party right now, my youngest daughter is missing and..." He stopped as he saw his daughter step from behind Naruto. Stepping up to he raised his hand to slap her.

To the shock of everybody in the room, Naruto caught his wrist a few inches from her face, and with his right hand he threw him to the ground then glared very menacingly at him, his eyes briefly turned red with slit pupils. "If you ever try to touch my little sister again I'll kill you."

Hanabi, who'd half hidden behind Naruto again, wrapped arms around him.

Hiashi saw Naruto's eyes change for a moment, but as mad as he was he wasn't stupid enough to risk unleashing Kyuubi on the Village, he was the Hyuga Can Head, not some thug. He quickly got to his feet and looked at the Hokage. "I demand that you have this boy arrested for attacking me."

Hiruzen saw how Hiashi was going to slap Hanabi for no reason knew it was time to be the right kind of Hokage. "I will not be talked to like that by you, especially in my own office, so sit down or we'll finish this discussion in an interrogation chamber!" He commanded powerfully, noticing the brief grin on Naruto's face. Obviously not happy about being talked to that way, Hiashi sat down. "Before we continue is there something you want to say to me Hiashi?"

"Hai, Hokage-sama... I acted rashly and I apologize for that." Hiashi said, his emotions and expression back under control.

"Good. Now then, as to your request to have Naruto arrested I can't do that, you were about to attack a member of his family, as of... about a minute ago, moments before you entered my office in fact. Hanabi activated an old law that I'd all but forgotten existed. By doing this she has officially severed all ties with your Clan and has been adopted by the Uzumaki Clan due to your constant abuse of her, and her sister. You no longer have any power over her, since you were attacking her with no provocation gave Naruto to the right to protect her any way he wants."

Hiashi stood and looked at his daughter. "You want out, fine, but I demand you come back to the compound so we can place the Caged Bird Seal on you. Then you can collect your belongings and get out of my house."

Naruto laughed. "That's not going to happen, weren't you listening? According to the contract that your Clan signed when it arrived at the village, you are only allowed to put that on members of your family. Since you didn't put the seal on her before she activated the law, it cancels that out as she's no longer a hyuga but an Uzumaki and you have no right to put one of those on my family. But I'm actually glad that you did show up because I'm about to activate a second law." Naruto looks at Hiruzen. "Turn to page 206, paragraph 8, section K... and I quote the Shodai Hokage, should a Clan of the Hidden Leaf Village be found abusing an Heir or Heiress to the point that it risks their health, and two of the founding Clans come to an agreement they can step in and take the heir or heiress into their family. So I, Naruto Uzumaki, as the acting Clan Head of both Uzumaki and Namikaze Clans hereby activate this law on behalf of Hinata hyuga, current Heiress of the hyuga Clan as her Father Hiashi hyuga forced her to fight even after she was given strict orders by the Hospital not to do anything strenuous until she was fully recovered. Hiashi was well aware of this as she was beaten to the point where she is now in a coma and Hiashi refused to have her taken into the Hospital. I believe he poses a risk to her health and safety."

By the time that Naruto finished talking Hiashi's face was red from anger. "This cannot be real!"

The Hokage smiled. "It is..." He said and 3 ANBU appeared, a woman with long purple hair in cat mask, and 2 large men boar and dragon mask. "You are to go to the Hyuga compound, pick up Hinata hyuga and bring her here immediately, you're also to pick up all of her belongings along with her sister's belongings."

Before the three ANBU left Hanabi called out. "Excuse me... Cat, when you're collecting my sister's belongings there is secret floor board next to her dresser that lifts up, her diary is there."

The Cat ANBU nods. "My name is Neko Hanabi-san, I will be sure to collect it, is there anything in your room that I need to look for?"

Hanabi blushes. "There's a board beneath my bed... it has my secret stash of candy and all my savings."

With that the three of them disappear, Neko and Boar smiling behind their masks.

Naruto looks at Hanabi. "And just how did you know where your sister kept her diary?"

Hanabi looks down at the floor. "I might have read some of it." She whispered.

"You won't do that anymore, we're a family and you'll let her have her privacy." Naruto said firmly.

Hanabi nodded. "I promise I won't do it again."

With that Hiashi attempted to storm out of the room but before he could even take one step... "Stay where you are Hiashi, you're not leaving this office until I say you can leave." Hiruzen commanded.

===12 Minutes Later===

When the ANBU returned Neko was holding Hinata, then passed her to Naruto with a bag of scrolls. Suddenly everybody in the room heard a bubble pop and looked at Boar. "He took a piece of your bubble gum." Neko said then smiled behind her mask when Hanabi tried to run at him and Naruto grabbed her from behind.

"Now that I've taken care of that we're leaving, we'll be back for the Finals." Naruto said, then before Hiashi or Hiruzen could say anything Naruto took Hanabi hand and using the Flash Step left a very happy Hiruzen and a furious Hiashi who stormed out of the office.

Hiruzen quickly pulled out his crystal ball and attempted to locate Naruto, a moment later found him and Hanabi in Training Ground 7, and Hinata were nowhere in sight.

Hanabi looked up at Naruto. "Now that was the coolest thing I've ever seen, you made a doorway come out of nowhere... are you sure that Hinata is going to be okay?"

Naruto picked up Hanabi."Don't worry, she's going to be just fine, now what do you say we go get your new brothers and sisters."

===10:34 AM, A Block Away===

"Why aren't we using that fast technique?" Hanabi asked.

"I don't want to use it too much, and on someone your size it can hurt you and that's the last thing I want to do... besides it's nice to walk because we can talk, so why don't you tell me all about yourself." Naruto said.

"Okay, well like I said I want to open my own bakery. It's one of the few things we like to do together... except when I make cinnamon buns she eats them all and I can't get one." Hanabi replied.

"That's good to know. There's a girl in Wave Country I helped that you'll love, her name is Fuu and she's your big sister now too." Naruto said.

===10:56 AM, Konoha Orphanage===

During their casual 20 minute walk Hanabi told Naruto everything about herself, a little bit about Hinata, what they both like to do and how their Father had become even worse after their mother died... though that was mainly from what Hinata tod her since she was a baby when it happened.

They reached the orphanage front gate and Naruto put Hanabi down, went inside knocked on the front door. A few moments later the door was opened by a woman with a look of absolute loathing on her face.

"What are you doing back here demon, you're not allowed to be here." She said coldly.

"Nice to see you too bitch, I'm here as a shinobi, now I can adopt as many kids as I want to so get out of my way." Naruto said, shoved her aside, went in let out a loud whistle. Within seconds children of all ages came running from every direction, the moment they saw him they rushed to him asking him what he is doing here. Naruto let the kids have their fun, and after he answered a dozen questions silenced them. "The reason I'm here is to adopt each and every single one of you, so go upstairs and pack all of your belongings, but leave your clothes because I'm going to buy you new clothes and this is the last day you will ever be spending in this hell hole." As if they could all Shunshin the children disappeared. Once they were gone Naruto made a dozen Shadow Clones. "Get the babies, I'm not leaving a single orphan in this place if I can help it." The clones quickly left to go get the babies.

By now the woman who ran the orphanage regained her senses. "What right do you have to come in here and take all the orphans?"

The moment I became a Shinobi of this Village I became an adult, which means I can adopt as many as I want as long as I have room for them and I just found out I have an entire compound that is sitting empty and what better way to fill it then with orphans who will now be considered my brothers and sisters and as long as I fill out the paperwork you can't do shit about it, now get your ass moving and get the paperwork done." A few moments later all the children, and Shadow Clones who are each carrying a baby, returned and fill the lobby. Quickly counting the children Naruto makes a Shadow Clone for each one and an extra, then sends them with her to do all the paperwork. "When they finish all the paperwork take it to the Tower and have Aimi file it, after it's done you can dispel yourself." His clone nodded.

"As for the rest of you were going to be spending some time away from the village so let's head out, we'll be back at the end of the month so you guys can watch me fight." Naruto said then lead them out and towards his favorite clothing store.

===Hokage Tower===

Hiruzen is watching the scene in his crystal ball. "Both of your parents would be proud of the way you turned out." Then canceled the jutsu. "You'll get your promotion whether you win or not, I'm going to make sure it happens." He said then opened his desk drawer and pulled out a folder.
