Chapter 5 : Naruto Unmasked
"HAJIME!" Naruto remained calm. "Kakashi-san, you may want to take me seriously. I think you may need your Sharingan for this." Naruto said. "In due time Fox-san. I merely want to test you a little first." Kakashi replied. "Okay Kakashi. Dont say I didnt warn you. Lesson one Taijutsu!" In a burst of flash step Naruto appeared infront of Kakashi open palm already speeding toward his chest. No one could believe the speed the boy had just shown. No one even saw him move. Kakashi blocked and retaliated with his on taijutsu and soon the two were flying threw punches and kicks, Naruto was bending and weaving, and turning acrobatically in the air to dodge all of Kakashis blows. Not once was Naruto hit, but the same could not be said for Kakashi. His Jonin vest was in tatters from Narutos wind enforced swipes.
Asumas cigarette fell from his mouth and his eyes widened. "Hes using wind chakra along his finger tips." Gai nodded. "His Taijutsu is indeed deadly. Ive never seen this fighting style before." He added seriously. The Hokage overheard this and decided to give his own piece of wisdom. "You are correct guy. The fact is this is Fox-sans own Taijutsu style. He created it himself. He calls it "The Cornered Fox Style." Notice that he does not block. The only defense this style uses is dodges. It requires extreme flexibility and awareness." Guys eyes grew wide "HOW YOUTHFUL! TO THINK SOMEONE THIS YOUNG COULD CREATE SUCH A POWERFUL STYLE ON HIS OWN! FOX-SAN BURNS WITH THE SPIRIT OF YOUTH!" He exclaimed much to the discomfort of the surrounding Jonins.
After a few more exchanges Naruto and Kakashi leapt away from eachother. Kakashi was breathing a little harder then normal but Naruto seemed unaffected. 'What stamina.' He thought to himself. "I told you Kakashi, dont underestimate me." Naruto said with a bit of humor in his voice. "Ha, I guess you were right, that could have been very bad had you actually wanted to kill me Fox-san." With that Kakashi raised his headband unveiling his Sharingan. "Lesson 2 Ninjutsu! Fire Style: Fire Dragon Jutsu!" Kakashi launched the fire dragon at naruto who didn't move. He flashed through hand seals faster then Kakashi did and simply said. "Fire Style : Fire Dragon Jutsu." A larger Fire dragon sped towards Kakashis, only Narutos was made of Azure Flames. The two jutsu crashed into each other. Narutos was stronger however so after it canceled out Kakashis it kept moving towards him. Everyone had to pick there jaws off of the floor except Kakashi and Hiruzen, who knew of Narutos Bloodline.
Kakashi leapt out of the way of the incredible fire dragon and sped threw more handsigns. "Water Style : Water Bullet Jutsu!" Kakashi released the built up torrent of Water at Naruto who decided to take flight into the air. He hovered mid air for few seconds to the shock of the stunned crowd before flying through hand seals of his own. With a deep breath and cry of "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!" He launched a concentrated blast of air at Kakashi. "Earth Style: Earth Wall Jutsu!" Kakashi slammed his palms upon the ground and summoned up a wall to defend against the crushing blast of wind. Naruto fell to the ground and vanished with a burst of flash step, he summoned Masamune in a flash of blew flames and when he reappeared he cut the wall of earth down.
"THATS THE LEGENDARY MASAMUNE!" Yugao exclaimed. "How on earth did he get the great sword of the Shodai Uzukage?" Everyone looked toward the Hokage. "Now now, all will be revealed soon Neko."
After the wall fell down Kakashi was nowhere to be seen. Narutos danger senses flared so he rolled out of the way just as Kakashi was rising from his Head Hunter Jutsu. "Nice try Kakashi, but that isnt enough to defeat me." Kakashi nodded and pulled out a some shuriken. He threw one and flashed threw seals. "Shadow Shuriken Jutsu!" The three shuriken became 30 and flew towards Naruto who cut through all of them with his wind reinforced Masamune. Then he again disappeared in a burst of flash step and swung at kakashi. Kakashi ducked and rolled and threw a kunai which Naruto easily deflected. He one hand and shot a golden chakra chain at Kakashi. By now some of the crowd were connecting some dots, so Naruto moved his mask to the side of his head revealing his face after Kakashi dodged his chains.
"THATS NARUTO!" Asuma yelled. All of the Jonins looked shocked. "Namikaze-Samas kid?! The Kyuubi Jinjuriki?" Kurenai asked. "Yeah no doubt about it! Look at the whisker marks. The blonde hair and blue eyes like his father. Hell he has his mothers Chakra Chains!"
"Looks like the cat is out of the bag Nii-san!" Naruto laughed. "Sure looks like it Ototou." Kakashi responded with a smile. "Well lets give em a good show!" Naruto held his hands up. "Resistance Seals : KAI! Gravity Seals : KAI! Chakra Restriction Seals : KAI!" The ground around Naruto was crushed under the sudden release of his Chakra. Everyone in the room was now shocked, Hokage and Kakashi included. He was holding his own against a Jonin and the whole time he was holding back!?
In a show of pure speed Naruto sped forward leaving after images in his wake and after resealing his sword reengaged with Kakashi in a flurry of taijutsu. Kakashi tried to block but his hits were too hard. After a sudden palm strike to the gut which took the air right out of him he rocketed backwards. Without hand seals Naruto summoned a shadow clone which kicked Kakashi into the air. Naruto flew at him and grabbed him by the vest. He spun and flew towads the ground. Slamming Kakashi to the floor of the arena. Kakashi blinked his eyes upon and saw he was surrounded by shadow clones, each holding either Zangetsu or Masamune against him. Naruto stood back with his arms across his chest smiling.
"So how did I do Jiji?" He called up to his Hokage and grandfather figure. "Great Naruto but I think all the Jonins would like some answers." Collectively the Jonin, and the Shinobi Council shook there heads rapidly up and down.
Naruto nodded and dispelled the shadow clones. He picked Kakashi up and checked to see if he was okay. Kakashi smiled and said he was just caught off guard. Naruto resealed all of his seals, and sealed away the Fox mask. Naruto took in a deep breath and with a hardened gaze and a voice filled with a deep timber began his tale. His presence demanded respect and oozed nobility but no arrogance. He came off a strong, mature shinobi.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. 6 years ago after being beaten and raped, I was tossed into a river." At this everyone looked down ashamed, some looked furious. "I awoke upon the shores of my families home village Uzu. There in the village I discovered my heritage, and found the sealed spirits of the Shodai, Nidaime, and Saidame Uzukages." The Jonins took a gasp. "Yes, 3 of my ancestors. My grandfather Ichigo, Great grandfather Rin, And Great Great Grandfather Sephiroth. Through a trick of fate they gave me the memories of my mother. They trained me for the past 6 years in Tai, Nin, Ken, Kin, and Fuujinjutsu. I unlocked my Great Grandfathers "Azure Flame Bloodline" and my Mothers Chakra Chains. After they trained me, and taught me, they gave me their swords and passed on the will and the fate of the Uzumaki Clan to me. I am Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze. Prince of Uzu, Head of Uzumaki Clan, and son of Princess Kushina Uzumaki, and Minato Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage. Through my mothers memories and with my mastery of Fuujinjutsu after being trained by the three greatest Fuujinjutsu Masters, I recreated the Hirashin, after recreating my fathers Rasengan." He proved this by forming a rasengan in one hand, and pulled a black Hirashin kunai in the other. He threw the kunai and disapperaed in a yellow flash. He reappeared across the room and slammed the rasengan into the wall.
The Jonins looked shocked, as did the Council. The elders looked emotionless per usual, but inside they were jumping for joy and plotting on ways to control the boy. Jirayai came down and hugged Naruto happy to see his godson. The Jonins clapped and came down to welcome the smiling Naruto back to the village. The Hokage silenced the room and approached Naruto, proud of the boy. "Naruto, I am happy to welcome you home as a Shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village." He gave Naruto a Konoha Headband which he happily accepted. He tied it on his bicep and bowed to his Hokage. The Hokage laughed and shook his head. "Are you sure you want to be a genin though? You could be a Jonin."
"Hell boy you could probably take the Hokage hat now!" Tsume Inuzuka barked with a laugh. Naruto and the Jonins laughed as well but Naruto replied. "Thank you Inuzuka-san but Im not ready for that yet. I may be trained but I need mission experience as well as leadership experience. I will become a genin and grow as a shinobi. I will form bonds with my age group and one day, one day I will surpass my father, and my ancestors and be the best Kage I can. But today, I think Genin suits me fine." The collected shinobi minus the council elders smiled and nodded toward the boy.
However the women of the crowd were having certain thoughts about the boy. 'The way this kid talks and stands just screams alpha! If only he were a few years older... Hell the kids gonna be quite the looker just like his old man... if he isnt already hot damn!' Thought Tsume.
'If I wasnt in love with Hayate-Kun and he was a little older Id give him a shot.' Thought Yugao.
'This boy... no young man will make a fine ninja. But whoever gets him as a husband will be one lucky woman.' Thought Kurenai.
'Hmmmmm, Naruto Uzumaki you are interesting. You and me dont seem all that different. I think Im gonna keep an eye on you Foxy-Kun.' Thought Anko.
(3 Days Later)
The entire village was gathered in front of the Hokage Tower. Everybody was whispering and gossiping. Hiruzen overlooked his villagers and silence soon filled the village. "Six years ago a great crime took place. I need not remind you of the details, but we lost the son of the Yondaime."
Everyone looked depressed at this. "It is with great pleasure though that today I welcome him back to the village! May I present Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze Prince of Uzu and new Head of The Uzumaki Clan!" The Villagers looked on with wide eyes as Naruto stepped forward Dressed in his usual ninja outfit. Only this time he at an Uzu headband as a belt buckle. Over his black vest he wore a long black sage cloak with blue flames along the bottom and the sleeves, and his Konoha head band wrapped around his bicep. "Im finally home." He said to the stunned crowd, who soon burst into applause and cheering. Some villagers with tears streaming down there faces.
"I have suffered much in this village." Again people looked depressed. "But I never stopped loving it. I understand why you were angry. I do not hate you and I dont think I ever could. The events of my childhood made me strong and they made me who I am today. I promise you all I will protect you as a shinobi of Konoha. And one day I will protect you as your HOKAGE! I swear this upon my pride and honor as both an Uzumaki, and as a Namikaze. Thank you."
To say the crowd was stunned would be another understatement. With tears of joy they erupted into applause once again. Naruto however was truly happy. He was back home, and he could finally have the life he always wanted. (And he deserved.)
"It is with great pride I finally give Naruto his Inheritance, and give him clan status. Naruto, here is the key to your parents home, and here are the final letters to you from your parents open them later. I now pronounce you Head of the Uzumaki Clan here in Konoha. Goodluck!"
After everything had died down, Naruto ventured into the Clan district where he found his parents home. It was modest in size two stories with a great stone wall surrounding it to give it privacy. Naruto approached the massive iron gate. Naruto slowly swung it open. He closed the gate behind him and approached the house. The lawn was well maintained (Turns out it was a weekly D-rank mission payed for by the Hokage.) and there were flowers surrounding the property. Naruto walked up to the front door and bit his thumb. He swiped blood along the door and a seal array glowed to life. He walked inside and after seeing how dusty it was decided to begin cleaning. "Shadow clone Jutsu."
He couldnt wait to explore.
"HAJIME!" Naruto remained calm. "Kakashi-san, you may want to take me seriously. I think you may need your Sharingan for this." Naruto said. "In due time Fox-san.
