Chapter 1:
Meeting Mother

Naruto ran through the treetops each bound making his breathing more and more labored. Strapped to his back was a large scroll full of powerful jutsus. The boys movement through the trees could be chaotic at best. The poor boy had just found out why he was hated for his whole life. His sensei Mizuki had convinced him that if he could steal the fourth's forbidden scroll and learn a jutsu from it he would pass as a genin.

The boy had achieved the task and was proud when his sensei Iruka had finally showed up. But soon his happiness at achieving the task was dashed as Mizuki upon his arrival told Naruto of the Kyuubi that was sealed within him. Then as Mizuki threw a fumma shrunken at the boy decided it was time for the boy to die. Naruto froze in fear and closed his eyes waiting for the end to come. However instead of feeling pain he heard the whizzing of the shrunken halted as it hit flesh and a dull thud of a body falling next to him. As the blond opened his eyes he was met with the site of Iruka's lifeless body laying next to him with the shrunken embedded in in neck. Tears fell from Naruto's eyes as he looked at the only person aside from the Hokage that had looked at him without hate. Naruto then looked up at the Teacher that had betrayed him. Mizuki looked at him like a predator that had found hapless prey and was going in for the kill would. Quickly out of instinct Naruto ran off into the forest away from the village and away from the treacherous teacher.

"Come on demon, just hand over the scroll and I'll make sure your life ends quickly." yelled Mizuki.

Naruto kept running from the man but it was obvious that his stamina was wearing thin. The training in the Kage Bushin had tired him out and he was in no condition to keep running for long. The blonde found the walls that separated the village from the rest of the country and climbed up them. As his made it to the other side the boys luck had ran out as Mizuki's second fumma Shrunken embedded it's self into Naruto's calf. Naruto cried out in pain as he fell from the tree canopy and slammed into the ground. As Naruto looked up at Mizuki he knew that it was all over. There would be no Iruka to take the final blow, there would be no leaf Shinobi to save the day, he would die here as the demon child. He then laid his head down on the ground and awaited his fate. When he laid his head on the ground he felt water flowing under him. He looked at the ground and realized that water was trickling from the ground as if it was a giant water fountain. The water soon flooded the area and started to swirl around. Two jets of water shot out of the pool piercing Mizuki in the chest killing him where he stood. As Mizuki's body hit the ground the swirling pool picked up speed becoming a full blown whirlpool. Naruto was soon caught in the vortex and was being dragged to the center. As the blond hit the center he was sucked down into the center where he submerged and disappeared. After the vortex completed its goal of engulfing the blonde it receded leavening only slight damp soil and an impaled Mizuki as any evidence to the scenes occurrence.

Naruto vision was completely overcome by rushing water as he held his breath for dear life. The act seemed to be in vain as his lungs started to burn begging for oxygen. Then out of complete despair he submitted himself and gasped for air. To his surprise though instead of water filling his lungs he breathed in air as if he wasn't even in a swirling vortex of water. Relived that he was still alive but very confused about how he was breathing in the water he contemplated what was going on. Obviously this whirlpool was the result of a ninjutsu but he had never heard of anything like what he was experiencing. Before he could ponder the events any further the torrent of water picked up speed and put the blond under large G-forces. Soon the sight of water rushing around him turned to black as he passed out destined to end up where the water was taking him.

After his spell of unconsciousness ended his eyes fluttered opened hazily. no longer in the water he looked up at the sky it how ever was not a normal sky. As his eyes refocused he saw the sky was swirling. The sky looked as if it was a whirlpool very much like the one that had consumed him but as he got up he noticed he was on dry ground. That dry ground in fact was a street of a village very similar to Kohona. The only difference was that instead of the hustle and bustle that was seen in Kohona, the village was a ghost town.

"hello is anybody around." yelled Naruto.

Nothing but silence was his answer. The silence was one of stagnation as the boy waited for a response, it was clear to him that the village was long since abandoned. No remains of anyone could be seen, it was as if everyone had just up and disappeared leavening nothing but a shell of a town. As Naruto looked around the village, the geography was amazing. The village was surrounded in a circle of large sheer cliffs that reached five-hindered feat in the sky. But that was not the most awe inspiring site. What Naruto marveled at was something that dwarfed the Hokage monument back in Kohona. 3 figures were carved into the side of the sheer walls each extending the right arms out and the palms extended forward. And from those palms the swirling rapids would begin before they made they journey to the middle of the sky. One of the monolithic figures caught Naruto's eyes especially, the figure depicted was a women judging by the figure, face and long hair and even though it was carved in stone, Naruto could tell there was much beauty in the mysterious women. He then saw the symbol on the figures shoulders. It was identical to the symbol on his shoulder, a white swirl with beaded cords hanging of the sides. he instinctively caressed the symbol on his shoulder. He now knew he had a connection with this place and needed answers. So tightening the forbidden scroll to his back he walked the deserted streets to find out what that connection was.

Naruto wandered the streets looking for anything that would give him some answers. He found out that the villages layout was very organized. At the edge of the village a flowing river separated the cliffs from the center of the circular valley floor. The outer part near the river was all full of green space like farming areas, parks, forest with all sorts of wildlife, and areas that were obviously meant for ninja training. Seeing that he would not get answers from the forest he decided that maybe the monuments would give answers. As he made his way to one of the statues, he saw that the figure was not in fact carved into the cliff side. but was its own separate structure that was supported by a platform over the river. As Naruto looked under one of the arches that supported the platform that allowed water to flow underneath the statue. He saw that some of the water was being sucked up in to a seal that was placed in the middle of the platform. Seeing that he was getting more questions then answers at the edge of the village he decided that center of the town would be best place to look next.

As he headed towards the center of the town, trees and training grounds were replaced by housing complexes and residential districts. As he drew deeper what appeared to be markets and stores were seen obviously the commercial area. Then finally he made it to the center area of the village this area had all buildings that served administration purposes for the village. A courthouse, a hospital, a school for civilians, a ninja academy, and a library were just a few buildings. But then Naruto saw the building that would be his best bet to find out where he was. A Tower similar the Hokage Tower back in Kohona was the building that stood at the epicenter of the village. The tower was teal in color an interesting color to say the least, and the symbol for Uza was the only form of identification the building had. Naruto made his way into the building. He wandered the corridors of the tower finding vaults file rooms, interrogation faculties, research labs everything a ninja village would need to keep itself secure, organized, and efficient. Then as he climbed higher into the tower where he came to a large lobby. The lobby was quite large with water falls coming off each corner of the room lading into whirlpool fountain pools at the floor. The room had many comfy chairs for clients to sit and wait for their meetings. Naruto then made his way to the other side of the lobby where a round circular desk for a receptionist stood and behind it two vaulted doors that nearly reached the ceilings stood with the words Uzakage engraved onto them. He opened the mammoth doors surprised by how easy the doors could be pushed. The room he entered was definitely meant for a leader of a village even if Naruto had not seen Uzakage engraved on the doors. Large windows overlooked the village on the far side of the room. A large desk and chair that were fit for a workspace of someone of high importance set in the middle. He looked at the room to see if he could find out anything about his location. As he scoped the room he noticed three large pictures hanging on one of the walls. Each one matched one of the statues on the edge of the village. He then saw in full color the women that had caught his eyes in stone. Bright teal eyes and fiery red hair and a confident foxy grin that screamed confidence, strength and mischievousness were present on the women's face. Naruto saw a gold plaque at the bottom of the portrait and looked in closer dieing to know the name of this women. As he read the name he eyes went wide and tears came to his eyes for on the plaque was a name and only a name. The name of Kushina Uzamaki.

Naruto tore through the office trying to find any proof to what the portrait said finding nothing but old mission reports. As he started opened the desk he found a map of the village with many names next to large estates. He assumed it was the major clans of the village and as he looked through he found the name Uzamaki next to one of the buildings. With out any hesitation he ran out the tower and found his bearings before running off into the direction that the map claimed the Uzamaki estate was.

Unlike most of the other buildings in the village the Uzamaki estate was right next to the outer moat and surrounded by forest. The estate was quite large, its walls going twelve feet into the air with large wooden gates that had intricate carvings of dragons on the top and bottom. The bottom dragon coming out of the water and the top one from the what looked like clouds. The two dragons met and intertwined into a whirlpool shape in the middle. Naruto opened the gates and walk into the large estate.

The estate had one central building that had two wings branched out of it. As he entered the building the central are was the living and kitchen area. Judging by the amount of furniture it was obvious that either the clan was very large and made sure everyone had the best accommodations or the clan had many guest of high importance. Stopping only a moment to marvel at the area he then made his way down one of the wings corridors. As he made his way down the corridor he saw that the wing held bedrooms, dens, and bathrooms. What amazed Naruto was that every bedroom had its own personal study's connected to them. Seeing an opportunity to find some information he checked the studies only to find that they were mostly recreational studies, finding anything from books on astronomy and medicine to comics and romance novels depending on the taste of the former owner. He did however find photos of the previous owners and almost all of them were red heads and he had yet to find any blonds. This worried him greatly that this might be a different group of Uzamakis. even though Uzamaki was an uncommon name it was not out of the realm of possibility that he just shared a name with this clan and nothing more. He figured since his life liked to torment him he wouldn't put it past the heavens to mess with him by finding a family that had his name but no blood ties. Even with these thoughts in his head he did not lose hope and thought maybe the other wing of the building could give some answers.

After he reached the end of the wing he crossed the courtyard to enter the other wing. The courtyard that separated the two wings was full of thick bamboo that would allow one to only see a few feet in from of them. This was obviously not an accidental occurrence due to the fact the there were clear cut trails through the bamboo. As Naruto made his way through the court yard he found the reason for such thick foliage. At the center of the courtyard was a large hot spring capable of holding at least twenty people. As he walked past the spring, the steam rose off the waters surface just inviting him to submerge himself in its warmth. He decided against it seeing that finding out if this clan was his and who they were was more important then the inviting water at the moment.

He then made it to the other side of the of the courtyard and to the other wing. This wing much taller then the living corridor and as he made his way into the building he found out that the entire wing was a one large dojo meant for training. The floor was not wood but a large slab of stone with a large bronze pendant that consisted of the same symbol that was found on the gates placed at the center. As Naruto made his way to the center he found it harder to breath and his energy just seemed to be drained from him. By the time he made it the pendant his lungs and muscles were burning. He looked at the pendant and grew frustrated no where did he find anything that told him about the place.

"stupid abandoned villages, with its stupid statues, and stupid abandoned houses." yelled Naruto.

The poor thirteen year old had searched the house high and low and got no info that would help him. As he started to walk away his foot caught the rig of the pendant causing him to face plant right into the middle of the pendant. Blood shot right out of his nose as a result from the impact raining down on the pendant beneath him. The young blonde quickly checked his nose to make sure it wasn't broken. After confirming he was fine he tried to get to his feet only to find out that his body felt to heavy to pick itself up. As he laid there frustrated even more he then noticed something. The pendant was now glowing and giving off a soft hum. Then the sound of stone slabs grinding against each other emanated beneath the pendant. Sections of the pendant then retracted into the ground creating a spiral stair case. No Naruto was unfortunately laying on top of the pendant tumbled down the stairway until he landed face first on the bottom step.

"I swear if this house makes me do another face plant I'm getting some gas and matches and burn the god damn place down" yelled Naruto.

After his little tirade Naruto was not greeted by silence but a small giggle that echoed of the walls. Naruto froze he looked around the basement seeing that it was made completely from stone. It looked almost like a library with long corridor that almost mimicked selves. On this selves were hundreds of symbols and blood seals and scattered throughout were work desk for studying. It was obvious that this was were the clan kept its secrets and it was the info he needed. The potential info was not what had Narutos attention though. He knew he heard a giggle from someone in this room. He started towards where he thought the source of the giggle was. As he wandered through the basement he found it was as large as the dojo above. He scanned the corridors trying to find out if his mind was playing tricks. The laughter was to clear to be mind tricks he though and he would be damned if he let someone sneak up on him. As he made it to the end of the room he found another door with the swirling dragon symbol on it. He opened it to find a circular stadium amphitheater. He guessed that this is were the clan would hold there meetings. As he looked at the theater floor he saw a pedestal in the middle on the floor. On the pedestal was a large crystal that glowed a brilliant hue of red. As he looked at the gem he became entranced by its glow. The feeling he got was one of comfort as if he was held by a gentle embrace. He then went closer to the crystal and reached out. Something inside of him telling him this was something that was meant for him and he needed to hold. As he reached his hands the gem glow grew brighter and then shot waves of small lighting paralyzing him. As his muscles locked and he fell backwards unable to move. The gem started to hum and squeal and lit the room with blinding white light blinding Naruto.

"you're alive thank god my little baby is still alive." said a heavenly voice.

Naruto still blinded by the light stood shocked, the voice was seemed to be full of joy and sorrow. As his vision came back he looked to see a ghostly figure quite visible but also translucent. As he looked at her he saw her fiery red hair and her teal eyes full of tears and a quivering lip. He then realized this was the women in the picture back at the tower. As he felt control comeback to his boy he sat up and looked at the women.

"excuse me but why do you look so sad and happy at the same time." Naruto said to the aberration.

"because I'm your mother and I finally get to lay eyes on you for the first time since you were a baby" said the women.
