Summary: What if Naruto asked who his mother was and the Sandaime told him because the fourth never told the Sandaime he couldn't. Watch Naruto grow up as he strives to become the greatest hunter-nin in the world.
Six year old Naruto was looking from the bench in the park looking out he was kids playing with their parents and some even learning how to be a ninja. I just wasn't fair nobody would adopt him and all the parents would glare at him taking other children away from him. He wasn't starting the academy for another three years but by then everybody would be ahead of him. Their were two things he wanted it this world one was to become a great ninja like the Hokage. The other was to find out who is parents were but the Sandaime would tell Naruto who his parents where except that they were great ninjas. Naruto made up his mind to see the old man Sandaime and at least ask him who his mom or dad was and maybe ask him to train him.
Naruto left the park and began his way to the Hokage tower. The receptionist their had to make sure that Sandaime was in a meeting and then let the boy right in.
Naruto then barged through the door yelling "Hi old man." Most people believe calling the most powerful man in the village old man is disrespectful but the Sandaime knew when Naruto said that it was with the utmost respect for him.
"Hello Naruto what can I do for you today." Sarutobi said with a grandfather like smile.
"Old man I was wonder if you could train me please," Naruto asked "If not could you at least tell me who my parents are."
"Naruto I would love to train you but then that would show favoritism to somebody and I cannot do that as Hokage and unfortunately," Sarutobi was about to say no when he looked and Naruto and him depressed. Sarutobi thought for a moment and then continued, "I cannot tell you how your father is but I can tell you how your mother is." Naruto instantly perked up upon hearing he could who is mother was but still wanted to know who his father was.
"Why can you only tell me who my mom was but not my father?" Naruto asked confused.
"Both of your parents had several enemies but you mother had less and they would come after you." Sarutobi said. "Now your mother was known as the Fiery Death one of the greatest hunter-nin Konoha ever had and most likely will ever be. You mother real name was Uzumaki Kushina. She was just like you in so many ways like your smile and your personality. Your mother was not originally from Konoha but was from the whirlpool country she came here for sanctuary from the third great ninja war." Naruto brightened considerably as the Sandaime continued, "She also had a bloodline." This completely shocked Naruto so much he fell out of his chair. "Naruto are you alright?"
Naruto shook his head yes and gestured him to continue. The Sandaime chuckled at Naruto then made a decision that would change the shinobi world forever. "Now that I realize Naruto somebody does need to train you but I can't but I do know something that can help you and will help you become a hunter-nin like your mother." Sarutobi went into his back room that held thousands of scrolls and grabbed two. "Come Naruto I don't have a lot of time and this will help you greatly."
The Sandaime left with Naruto in tow and left toward the nearest training ground. Their Sarutobi taught Naruto how to call out and mould his chakra. Sarutobi didn't say anything but was surprised at the flow the boy learned as well as his chakra stores and knew he had a prodigy on his hands.
Sarutobi motioned Naruto to sit down as he looked at the two scrolls in his hands. "This Naruto," holding out his left hand, "is the scroll that instructs and tells you about your bloodline while this is," holding out his right hand, "the jutsu I'm going to show you is called the Kage Bushin it is a kenjutsu that divides the users chakra evenly and creates a clone. Now there is another aspect of the jutsu but I will show this when you have master the jutsu." Sarutobi showed how to manipulate his chakra and then left our favorite blond with the scroll and left.
Naruto immediately wanted to continue practicing but then he remembered his bloodline and slowly unrolled the scroll and was shock at what it said.
To my dearest son,
Naruto I hope you are doing well have lived a good life. I'm sorry I not their to teach you all the things that most mother's but if you are reading this than I did not make it out of surgery alive. Don't you think for a moment that is was your fault that I did not make it because that would just kill me. I was very happy to hold you in my arms and know you will be a great person and an even better ninja. Now you do have a bloodline it's called the Destiny Winds.
This is not an all-powerful bloodline like the Uchiha or Hyuuga but one that could be better if trained right. The Destiny Winds is what most people would call a hunter-nin bloodline because of it two advantages first is that you call the wind and ask it will simply guide you to your enemy or tell you if an enemy is coming. Now the second part of our bloodline is that you use the wind to surround you to hid you sent this is very good if you want to hid from other ninja's or sneak up on them. Naruto I have to go I'm about to go into surgery I'm sorry and I love you.
Your loving mother,
Uzumaki Kushina
Naruto looked at the scroll several time and eventually went home and cried himself to sleep because for the first time in along time he had found his origins and that somebody loved him.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Naruto woke up early the next morning and looked around his apartment. It wasn't too big nor was it to small it had one bedroom, a bathroom, a small living room, and a kitchen. Naruto remembered all that happened yesterday and finally found comfort knowing something of his origins and then remembered the jutsu the old man gave him as well as the other scrolls sealed at the bottom of his mothers scroll. Unfortunately Naruto didn't know how to unseal the scroll so he would just have to wait for that Naruto looked at the Kage Bushin scroll and went out to nearest training field and practiced.
3 weeks later Naruto was frustrated he just couldn't get the stupid jutsu to work finally after his hundredth time that day Naruto screamed, "Kage Bushin," he put a lot more chakra into the jutsu than any other time tried and suddenly he heard a popping noise. Naruto opened his eyes slowly and saw five identical Naruto staring back at him smiling. With a cry of Yatta he dispelled the jutsu and went to the old man's office to show him that he did it.
Naruto made his way into the Hokage office and shouted, "Hey old man I did it I made five Kage Bushins."
To say the Sandaime was shocked would be the telling him Ich Ich Paradise was canceled. Naruto focused and then created one kage bushin. Sarutobi smiled and said, "Great job Naruto now do you know how this jutsu will help you out with your training" Sarutobi asked suspiciously and Naruto instantly shook his head no. The Sandaime took the bushin the back room and told him his favorite line from his book and then hit it on the back of it's head dispelling it.
"Ew Ero-Kage why did you say that." Naruto said.
"Now Naruto did I tell you or the bushin?" Sarutobi asked
"You told it to the bushin??" Naruto was now completely confused and looked at Sandaime for the answer.
"Naruto Unlike an ordinary Bushin, which is just an illusion, a Kage Bunshin is an actual clone. Each Kage Bunshin retains all the intelligence and abilities of the creator. When the Kage Bushin is dispersed, either through its own actions or the actions of others, the chakra stored within the clone returns to the creator, less the energy used in its creation and during its existence. Any experience or knowledge it gained during its existence is also returned to the creator, but only if the Kage Bunshin disperses itself."
This means that this is a very potent technique both in and out of combat. In combat, it is the prefect scout as they have the ability to instantaneously communicate anything they observe to the creator over great distances simply by dispersing themselves. As they are full clones, each Kage Bunshin retains the thoughts of its creator and is able to act in a coordinated fashion. While they do not have the physical durability of some other bunshin techniques, Kage Bunshins are capable of performing jutsus independent of their creator and are limited only by the amount of chakra they possess. These aspects of the jutsu allow it to act as a force multiplier, enabling a skilled shinobi to turn the tide of a battle if used in the appropriate manner."
Outside of combat, Kage Bunshin is a near perfect training jutsu. The creator is able to multiply themselves numerous times and perform multiple, independent tasks. When each of these tasks is completed, the clones can simply disperse themselves and the knowledge and experience the Kage Bunshin gained is transmitted back to its creator. These tasks could be simply reading a book or practicing a jutsu. With this jutsu, a ninja can learn many times faster than would normally be possible. There are a couple of limitations or drawbacks to the jutsu. The first is that the task or jutsu being practiced cannot be overly violent as the Kage Bunshin could be dispersed accidentally. The second is that the ninja is still required to physically exercise their body to execute what is learned as only knowledge and chakra are returned to the creator. Do you understand Naruto?" The Sandaime asked.
The said child was in shock at what he had heard and slowly brightened knowing what he could do with the jutsu at his disposal.
"Now Naruto I want you to take this note to the library and give it to the head librarian she was a good friend of your mothers and will help you out very much." The Sandaime reaches into his desk and pulled out a small envelope and gave it to Naruto. "This is for you so you can buy shinobi gear such as weights, kunai, shrunken, and new clothes."
Naruto looked at the envelope and thanked the old man profusely and left his office and headed to Ichiraku's Ramen for lunch and then went to the library. Now Naruto was scared because he was usually kick out of place but trusted the old man and went into the library. The library was closed, like the Hokage had mentioned, so he didn't let that stop him. He waited till nobody was around to question him about going to a closed library before finally entering.
This was his first time in the library, but he had heard bad things about it. Because of this, he was pleasantly surprised by the fact that the place didn't seem all that bad. It was tidy, the smell was clean, and it just had an air of friendliness to it. Feeling more confident, Naruto started walking around a bit, looking for the head librarian.
"I am sorry young man, but we are closed today." A voice said from behind him. Naruto turned around to see an elderly woman standing there looking at him.
"Are you the head librarian?" he asked the woman. She nodded. "The Hokage asked me to give this to you." He said as he held out the letter that he had been given. The woman raised an eye a bit at this, but took the letter and read through it quickly.
"Ahh.. I see. So you must be Uzumaki Naruto?" she asked. Naruto flinched a bit at this. Bad things tend to happen when strangers recognize Konoha's 'Demon Brat'. The woman didn't miss the action, and mentally scowled. 'How could those bastards treat a kid like that?' "Don't worry, the Sandaime has always spoken fondly of you. My name is Yariko Kouri. Sarutobi wrote that you can create Kage Bunshins?" Seeing him nod, she smiled, "that is very impressive. I would be glad to help you become a great ninja."
Naruto's good mood returned in full force. Another person who believes in me! I won't let you down old man! I will become the greatest ninja ever!
Naruto created a dozen Kage Bunshins, which was about the limit he could maintain without exhausting himself. The two spent a while going over the organization of the books and scrolls in the unrestricted section, and Kouri pointed out a few good academy level ninja introduction books, which Naruto's Bunshins started reading. Naruto learned that Kouri was a retired jounin kunoichi, so she had answers for most things Naruto had questions about. She told him he would only be allowed to use Kage Bunshins in the library on weekends, as it is usually quite full during the week, and Naruto couldn't afford to be showing off jounin level jutsu in public.
Naruto found the day to be surprisingly enjoyable. The only trouble he had was when he dispelled his Bunshins, and the large influx of knowledge planting itself in his mind left him with a serious headache for a quick while. 'Going to have to work on that one.' he mused. Before leaving, Kouri offered to purchase him all the ninja supplies he would need for a while, as long as he brought the money to pay her back. Naruto readily agreed to this. Naruto left home that knowing no matter what happened he was going to make his mother proud and become the greatest hunter-nin the world has ever seen.
