A Long Night of Shocking Revelations
Chapter 1:
“Hey pops, what a mission you sent me on, I have some news for you.” said A, “Yeah I wanna what the hell happened that you rushed back like a madman and are holding a BABY! A BABY OF ALL THINGS! I know you and even YOU can’t screw up that badly? And just who the hell’s baby is that even” yelled the 3rd Raikage while simultaneously wondering what kind of problems he was going to have this time and dreading how it was going to create even more paperwork for him to do.
Now A in no way was scared he himself was a feared S-rank who was the fastest person now after the Yellow flash's death, with the exception of his father, Raizen had been an SS-rank in his prime, a shinobi who could fight on the level of the first hokage simply because of his speed and monstrous strength that came from his mixing of his lightning armour jutsu with the black lightning style, granted he would never be close to the first Hokage’s level but even saying that much was something very few people could achieve, and therein lies the problem even in his old age, his father was a monster that everyone was scared of.
“Now pops, just relax, take a calm breath, I’ll explain everything, then it will all make sense… I know what you're thinking, but I think he will be good for Kumo.” begged A hoping it would not lead to the iron claw he had seen used many times on his younger brother Bee for his many idiotic actions. “Alright, start from the top and don’t stop until you get all my questions, and if I don’t like something you say, I swear to god I will throw you off this tower myself. And lock the door, I'm sure most of what you say is going to end up needing to be confidential.” Raizen growled back. “Can you summon Bee then? This will be too troublesome to explain again to anyone, let alone him.” asked A, hoping his father would wait for Bee. “Alright” he replied and then called his secretary in and asked her to get Bee who was probably writing his annoying rhymes right now.
“Yo what up pops, what you gotta me for, fool ya fool.” but unfortunately for Bee he chose the wrong time to piss off his father who was already scared his son might have started a war by being an idiot. As such Bee had to suffer the consequences and become his father’s punching bag… something which served to calm him down greatly. “Yo that wasn’t fun” groaned Bee as he lay on the floor in a tangled heap. He then got up and saw the expressions on both A and Raizen’s face and immediately became serious and asked what happened. While wondering what caused them to don such expressions, there had been relative peace these past few years and he didn’t know what caused them to become so serious and it worried him.
“Alright let’s start.” said Raizen with much impatience and controlled anger. “Ok so as you know I had gone with a team because I was bored, while we were in Hi no Kuni we had neared the leaf village and were going to stop at the nearby town Tanzaku Gai for the night, however C suddenly collapsed with an extreme headache, when he was finally able to speak without the pain affecting his speech he told me that he was using his sensor abilities to make sure the area was safe and then all of a sudden he felt a massive influx of chakra, more specifically demonic chakra, even more than the eight-tails when he was released after he overpowered his previous jinchuuriki’s seal and went on a rampage. Naturally the entire team panicked after that, but I realised that there was only one being that could do such a thing, and that was the Kyuubi something we know to be sealed in Kushina Uzumaki, the Red Hot Habanero. I decided that we should get closer to try and figure out what was happening, and the we stumbled upon a large clearing which contained the Kyuubi who was captured in Kushina’s Adamantine Chains (Kongo Fusa), while the 4th Hokage was standing in front of a sealing altar with a baby on it, suddenly the Kyuubi lashed out trying to prevent his resealing by killing the baby, and both the Uzumaki and Namikaze jumped in front of the Kyuubi’s nail and stopped him from killing the baby at the cost of their own lives, and then Minato did a sequence of hand-seals and sealed the Kyuubi into the baby, and summoned a toad and gave him something before they both collapsed, I went to go see if they were still alive, to check on them. But when I got there Kushina was already dead having exhausted most of her energy when the Kyuubi broke free, Minato however was slowly fading I could feel his chakra weaking and then he called out to me, told me to take HIS child with him, said he did not trust the population of Konoha to treat his child as the hero he is for containing the Kyuubi and instead may just think of him as the Kyuubi reincarnated, something he did not want. I asked him if he did not trust Jiraiya whom I deduced would likely be the child’s godfather, or even the sandaime who Kushina looked at as a grandfather, but he said that the sandaime is too weak willed in his old and that Jiraiya was not suitable to be a father figure to anyone and did not want him raising Naruto, he gave me 3 scrolls, 2 from him and Kushina to their son. To be given whenever he starts his shinobi training should he choose to be one, or when he was 8 if he was a civilian. While the 3rd one he said would answer all our questions about what transpired that night and explain everything, the scroll was prepared by a clone and he intended it for the sandaime but we stumbled across before the sandaime reached the clearing and said it was better this way.”
When he was done he reached for the water that was on the table and drank the entire glass, he had recited quite the story after all. All this while both Bee and Raizen both had their jaws on the ground and their tongues hanging limp while processing what he had told them, 2 of Konoha’s best shinobi’s one who was an S-rank kenjustu master capable of beating all 7 of Kiri’s seven shinobi swordsmen and a seal master of renown feared due to her use of the special Uzumaki seals that were so deadly that both Iwa and Kiri along with 6 minor villages had amassed a total force of 80,000 shinobi and planned a surprise attack on Uzu whose entire population was made of 12,000 Uzumakis out of which only 6,000 were shinobi, and the rest untrained civilians, and only 9,000 of them were Uzumaki level seal-masters while the rest either too young to be so or civilians who did not bother learning past level 10, something which was nearly impossible to find in any other village and while the Uzumaki had 20 levels which needed to be completed before being considered an Uzumaki seal-master and the rest of the Elemental Countries only had 10 levels and not for a lack of trying. However even there was only one known seal-master who was at level 10 and that was Jiraiya of the Sannin, the Toad Sage. Only Minato Namikaze was known to have made it to level 12 (only because of Kushina’s tutoring), while Kushina had reached level 15 and had not had time to go beyond because of the war.
And that was just Kushina’s and her clan’s achievements, they had not even started on the Namikaze clan’s and Minato’s achievements, he was after all one of the 4 SS-rank shinobi since the time the Hidden villages had been built, the other 3 being Raizen himself and Senju Hashirama the Shodaime Hokage and Uchiha Madara of the Uchiha Clan. The man was known as the youngest Hokage ever who at the ripe young age of 23 had become a seal-master of renown and was said to have defeated both the sandaime and Jiraiya in a 2v1 before he was instated as hokage. He had recreated the Hiraishin jutsu of the Nidaime Hokage and taken it to levels that even the Nidaime had not been able to, something that was proven when he used it to slaughter a battalion of 5,000 Iwa Shinobi in the battle of Kannabi bridge. He was also of the Namikaze clan which was a small group that broke off from the Uchiha clan around a 150-200 years before the formation of the hidden villages and during a period of the clan war era where the Uchiha had been teamed up on by the Senju as well as the Nara clan whose strategic genius combined with the Senju power had almost led to their ruin when they had broken off and formed their own clan as nomads who went around learning things and creating a massive clan library much like the Uchiha.
“Well we cannot dwell on the this for now, we shall discuss this more in detail later, including your ability to make a simple recon mission into an international incident, especially IF THEY SAW YOU AT THE SCENE!!” said Raizen, yelling towards the end while releasing enough killer intent to make both of them fall over. A on the other was once more trembling wondering just how he was going to be punished for this, but then luck shined on him when the KI started making little Naruto cry and immediately Raizen stopped and picked him up from the couch and started putting him back to sleep and A kept looking on in astonishment about the rapid change of mood that. Once Naruto finally fell asleep, Raizen once more calm sat down in his chair and asked A to open the scroll for them and read it out.
A started “Hiruzen, I do not have much time to write this so I will get into the important details, the Kyuubi did not break free during childbirth today, no it was forcefully extracted from the seal by a masked man, with one sharingan eye visible. I do not know who he is although I feel I should, he called himself Madara Uchiha although I highly doubt it, his strength was still something that would have convinced many people of it. He has the ability to make himself intangible, if you attack him it will go through although he has to be solid to attack you, I was able to injure and drive him off and also wrestle control of the Kyuubi away from him along with taking away his ability to summon the Kyuubi ever again. He will no longer be able to summon the Kyuubi and I will seal it into my new-born son Naruto using the Shiki Fujin (Dead-Demon Consuming Seal).”
“WHAT, HE USED THAT SEAL??” yelled Raizen frozen from shock and shocking his face showed fear, he knew of the unique and ancient Uzumaki Kinjutsu, and it scared him to no end, after all the Uzumaki had used this seal on a much larger scale to annihilate all the invaders along with themselves, they knew it was not possible to fight off this many invaders while unprepared and protecting civilians. So their leader made a large scale use of this Suicide seal powered by the life force of all the Uzumaki there to make sure none survived for he knew his daughter lived on and she would continue the clan. A raised an eyebrow wondering just what got his father so scared, and promptly asked him so “I shall tell you later, continue reading”
“Should both Kushina And I die tonight sealing away the Kyuubi then I want you to do your best to take care of Naruto it is my final wish the people of Konoha see him as a hero that keeps the great Kyuubi no kitsune at bay every day, constantly protecting them from the great beast. The 2 scrolls that I have left for Naruto they are to be given to him on his 8th birthday if he chooses a civilian life, or whenever he starts his shinobi training should he choose the ninja life, if Jiraiya refuses to raise him, please ask either of my old teammates, Hiashi or Fugaku to take him in, they will be good influences on him especially since both have children his age (Hinata & Sasuke). The scrolls contain letters from both of us to Naruto, it also contains directions for Naruto to retrieve both the Uzumaki and Namikaze libraries and everything related to them, including heirlooms and weapons. Those scrolls however can only be opened by him and no one else they are locked with blood seals along with intent seals, even if it is broken and opened only Naruto can read them, they are merely scribbles for anyone else and cannot be destroyed either, I have protected this as well if not better than the Namikaze compound. Even if the libraries are found by others, no one but Naruto can enter if they try to they will be sent to a dungeon far away hidden in the mountains that can only be accessed from the library itself, which means no one but Naruto can go there.
There is one final thing I have to tell you, as you know the Namikaze clan was known as nomads and we travelled all over the elemental nations hoarding knowledge, one side effect of this was that our members often married people from local clans from that country, such as the Yuki of water country and so on, because of this some members of our clan are occasionally able to access their bloodlines, such as if a child was born with the ability to use the Lava Release and other such bloodlines, they were too unstable to be passed down however due to not having enough genetic material and such. This made it very rare and for fear of the many clans coming after us this ability was kept secret to the point only the clan head and the person with the bloodline and their parents knew about it. We would make sure to keep such members out of limelight and enlist them in the ANBU or told them to take mostly solo missions.
The reason I am telling you this is because we were able to check the density of Naruto’s chakra along with the amount. If you believe it or not his chakra is that of a chunins in both density and size, the combination of this along with his Uzumaki genes and vitality along with them being boosted greatly by the Kyuubi, has possibly awoken many of the dormant bloodlines in his body, make sure that he is capable of using any bloodline that manifests he may even have the Adamantine Chains and Sharingan. Make this an SSS-rank secret. I don’t have to tell you this but I’m sure by the time he is 8 he will have chakra reserves even surpassing your own. Make sure no matter what age his shinobi training starts, he is to be doing chakra control exercises from the moment he can access it. Because otherwise it will have grown far too dense and large to the point where he will not be able to use it much. I however doubt his children will gain such abilities as they won’t have such chakra.”
He then went to the last paragraph of what was written and while the whole letter looked rushed this part was even more, as though his clone had written it a little later, when he sensed A, especially since this part was addressed with his name on it. “A, if you have received this scroll then Naruto is being raised by you, now I know this is risky for both you and your village should it be discovered that you are raising the child of the Yondaime Hokage and as such, I have instructed my clone to prepare another scroll for the sandaime, my clone will place it onto my body where the sandaime will find it, the scroll will tell him that Naruto is dead and that all of the Namikaze possessions along with the Uzumaki possessions such as jutsu library, money and etc are hidden, and only accessible by a blood heir, something that does not exist anymore.”
As he finished reading the letter he looked at both his father and his brother both of whom were ready to faith, they simply couldn’t comprehend that a single child could have so much potential, something that would only be amplified once they adopted him into the Yotsuki clan through the blood adoption method that the Uzumaki clan had developed and given as a gift to all five major villages.
Raizen was far too much in shock, the initial fear that had shown up on his face when he heard of the dead-demon consuming seal had faded into even more shock, but it was clear he had not forgotten about it, he was still lost in thought, and certainly his already great respect for the Namikaze had gone up tenfold. A then asked “Well pops, what was it about the dead demon consuming seal that had you so freaked out, I mean any jutsu with such a name would freak a person out, but you of all people?” Raizen sighed looking weary and every bit his age. “Very well, as you know the Uzumaki clan and their homeland was attacked a long time ago this led to the Uzumaki clan being nearly destroyed and they went down from a population of 12,000 Uzumaki to merely a few refugees and now perhaps only Naruto as the last of both his clans.
The Uzumaki were known as the greatest masters of Fuinjutsu this world has ever seen, and with good reason too, they had created hundreds of unique seals only Uzumaki could ever use. While a ninja fights using ninjutsu an Uzumaki fights using fuinjutsu, that is not to say they can’t use ninjutsu, they just preferred fuinjutsu. An Uzumaki child is born with the innate talent to instinctively understand fuinjutsu, this led to seals of great power, one such which was known as the Dead Demon consuming seal, one of the few SSS-rank Kinjutsu ever known, for this seal calls down the Shinigami itself to seal away something of the caster’s choice, in exchange for his soul, after the sealing, the caster’s soul is slowly consumed by the Shinigami where it is said that their soul is eternally tormented and made to battle endlessly within its belly.”
“The reason that there is no one who survived the attack on Uzu from both sides is due to this seal, knowing that their clan would not die as Kushina was already in Konoha, their entire clan both civilians and shinobi alike, made a seal, that was basically a large-scale version of the Dead Demon consuming seal and powered it with the life-force of 12,000 Uzumaki and used it to kill every single living being on that island. The massive influx of power and death, disintegrated even the bodies of those killed to the point where Uzu is just an uninhabited island that people are far too scared to set foot onto. I only know this through the Sandaime whom I had asked about what happened.”
Both A and Bee fell as their legs were unable to support them any longer, they did not know what to think, how to think and quite literally faithed from the craziness they had heard tonight.
