Streets of Konoha
Naruto, Kiba, and Ino walked through the town as they headed towards the ramen shop. Ino sighed and looked at Naruto "Hey, Naruto... I have a question" Naruto looked at her "Huh? what is it, Ino?" She looked at the ground "Are you a Jinchuriki? I messed up earlier and ended up in your head. I saw the Kyuubi no Kitsune" Naruto stared at the ground and frowned "Yes... I am the Jinchuriki no Kyuubi... If you want to attack me." Naruto held his arms out "You're welcome to" Instead, Ino walked up to Naruto and wrapped her arms around him "I'm not going to fight you, Naruto-Kun. You may be a Jinchuriki, but you're such a sweet boy." Naruto blushed and smiled "Thank you, Ino-chan" Kiba laughed "Hey, get a room, you two" Both Ino and Naruto blushed as Naruto hit Kiba in the back of the head "Get a grip, Kiba" Kiba laughed and rubbed the back of his head "I was just joking. Damn, that hurt."
They all stepped into the ramen shop. An older man behind the counter looked at them and smiled "Ah, Naruto. Welcome back. You haven't been here in a while. Who are your friends?" Naruto smiled "Hey, Teuchi-jiji. This is Ino Yamanaka and Kiba Inuzuka. We just finished classes at the academy" A young woman ran from around the counter and hugged Naruto "Naruto-kun, if it isn't my favorite customer! How are you? Did you get in?" Teuchi smiled "Ayame..." Naruto shook his head "It's fine, Jiji. Ayame, I've been fine. And yes, i got in. These are my teammates from the lesson we had today" Ayame smiled and nodded "Ohhh yay! Let me go get you all menus. Have a seat" she quickly ran back behind the counter as Naruto, Ino, and Kiba all sat down. Kiba chuckled and looked at Teuchi "Is she always that peppy?" Teuchi shook his head "No. She's just very happy to see Naruto. He's our best customer" Ayame ran out with the menus and bowed "Here we go everyone"
Naruto smiled "I'll have the usual, Ayame" She smiled "6 bowls of ramen it is" Kira's eyes nearly bulged out "6 bowls!? I'll have one bowl of the pork udon" Ino smiled "and i would like a bowl of the veggie udon" Ayame smiled and giggled "i'm glad you're in here with other people Naruto. i hate seeing you so alone" She walked back and handed Teuchi the order form. Naruto looked at Ino "only vegetables?" Ino giggled "a girl's gotta watch her figure. Not only is it attractive, it's helpful for a kunoichi. A thin and light kunoichi moves quicker than a heavy one"
Naruto nodded as they all waited for their food. After a few minutes, Teuchi passed the bowls over the counter "Here we go" Naruto's eyes sparkled "Alright!" He picked up the chopsticks and clapped his hands together "Itadakimasu" Naruto broke the chopsticks and started eating the first bowl of ramen fervently" Kiba looked shocked "Does he always eat like this?" Teuchi smiled and nodded Kiba and Ino both looked amazed before they start eating. After they all finished, Naruto smiled and pulled money from his wallet "Here we go, Teuchi-jiji" Teuchi smiled and took the money "Come again, Naruto. And bring your friends"
Naruto and the others walked out and head towards the Yamanaka compound. Naruto smiled at Ino "I'll see you tomorrow" Ino smiled and waved "Bye Kiba. Bye Naruto-kun" Naruto smiled "I suppose you can make it home yourself. I have something important to do" Before Kiba could even answer, Naruto shunshined away
Hokage Rock
Naruto landed on a balcony overlooking the Hokage Rock. He sighed and sat down on the balcony. "Hashirama-sama. Tobirama-sama, Sarutobi-jiji, Namikaze-sama. I hope to be a hokage as powerful as the four of you one day. Kurama..." Naruto wipes his eyes
Kurama perked her ears up within Naruto's mindscape "What is it Naruto?" Naruto shook his head as the tears kept flowing "Is it true that the Yondaime died while sealing you inside me?" Kurama nodded her head "Yes, Naruto. It's true" Naruto sighs "but...why me?" Kurama looked at the ground "Perhaps you should find out for yourself. Yondaime Namikaze left something on his face. I'll let you use my heightened senses to find it"
Naruto's eyes turned to slits as his sight increased. He looked at the face of Yondaime Minato Namikaze. Naruto tilted his head when he saw something shine in one of the eyes. "what on earth? I have to find out what that is. How do i get up there?" Naruto asked as he ran to the base of the Hokage Rock. Kurama smiled "Channel chakra into your feet and walk up the mountain" Naruto nodded and channeled his chakra, making his feet turn blue. He glared as he started to run up the rock face. As he got to the face of the Yondaime, he noticed a unique silver scroll in the eye where the shine was. Naruto pulled it out of the crevice and used his chakra to increase his jump distance, allowing him to jump all the way to the balcony. He sat down and opened the scroll.
"If you're reading this, I'm dead and asked Hiruzen to hide this until he feels you're ready. I sealed a powerful demon within you because i feel you can control the power. I split the power of the demon within artifacts and had them scattered before my demise. Find them and you can either control the demon fully or banish it. Naruto, I know without a doubt you'll be a powerful ninja. I don't know what fate befell your mother, but i know that if i were to see you know, i would be proud.
- Minato Namikaze, your father"
Naruto gritted his teeth as he felt a mix of emotions. He felt pride, but also sadness and rage. "The Yondaime was my father... and Jiji never told me" Naruto could feel his blood boiling as chakra from the nine tails started seeping through. "Naruto?" Kurama tried to get Naruto's attention. Naruto rolled up the scroll and yelled as the chakra enveloped him, forming a fox like shape. He took off on all fours towards the Hokage Mansion.
Hokage Mansion
Sarutobi sat at his desk filing paperwork when he heard a loud crash. An anbu operative can be heard screaming before he is thrown through the door. Naruto stepped in the door and over the operative. Sarutobi quickly stood up and started performing handsigns, but Naruto quickly stretched out a hand "Zepan Kusari! (Universal Chain)" Black chains swiftly wrapped around the Sandaime and restrained his movements. Naruto growled "Why? Why did you not tell me? Why didn't you tell me my father was the Yondaime!?" Naruto yelled. Sarutobi sighed "i felt you weren't ready. I was going to tell you once you became a Genin." Naruto growls "you wanted me to WAIT until you told me that not only did my father, Konoha's Yellow Flash, seal a demon in me, but according to the scroll, my mother could still be alive!" Naruto grabbed his eyes as a new form of Uchūchāmugan formed: the Kyuubi Uchūchāmugan. He simply stared the Hokage down. The ANBU operative groaned and started to sit up, but Naruto quickly performed hand signs "Uchūchāmugan Hotomine Ryo: Seishin Yamu no Jutsu" The operative quickly went limp as the jutsu took effect. Sarutobi shook his head "Naruto, it's what your father wanted. He asked me to wait until you were Genin" Naruto started walking towards Sarutobi "Why did you listen?" Tears started streaming down Naruto's face. "You could've told me as soon as i became a ninja" Sarutobi looked at Naruto sadly "but you're not a ninja yet. You're simply an academy student." Naruto started punching Sarutobi in the stomach, but due to the exhaustion of using the Uchūchāmugan, Zenpan Kusari, and Kurama's chakra, his punches had no effect. Naruto's eyes started closing from exhaustion as he collapsed to the floor. Sarutobi shrugged out of the chains and grabbed Naruto "I'll tell you more about all of this tomorrow. I'll get you home"
That marks the end for this chapter. Took long enough but writer's block is no joke. Hopefully the next chapter won't take so long
