Returning Home---------------------------------------------------

After his departure from Sakura and Kakashi, Naruto rushed to find Jiraiya already waiting for him outside the gates to Konoha. Standing outside the gates to Konoha, Naruto and Jiraiya prepared to head off for Naruto's new acquired estate. After checking that there packs were in place and than Naruto fully understood where the estate was Jiraiya turned and spoke.

"Alright Naruto before we head off I want to tell you something very important. The Yodamine did sacrifice himself knowing full well that he was placing a huge burden on your shoulders. However he only did it because even though you were small he believed in you and knew you wouldn’t succumb to the evil that was held in you.”

“I know. I know but it doesn’t make it hurt any less.” Naruto replied edgily. 'I know the old man never ment for me to be treated like a monster but that’s what happened. All my life I was treated like a creature from hell or worse, and picked on and assaulted and mistreated by everyone.'

They sat together for a minute or so in silence before Jiraiya groaned and got to his feet.

"Naruto just so you are aware, The fourth could use his body flicker jutsu as long as he knew exactly where he wanted to go. So remember were heading for the UZUMAKI ESTATE. It's as I said, a small village just outside of Konoha. Its sort of like the Uchiha and Hyuga estates. But its a lot bigger and is probably worn down.”

“ Ok. But do try to keep up with me Jiraiya I hate having to wait around for you all the time. Lets go!!!” Naruto shouted and vanished.

“ Naruto before we go there’s one more thing I have to tell…” Jiraiya started, but realizing he was already alone he sighed. ‘Too late. Damned too late. He’s an impulsive young man that’s for sure. Oh well, he’ll find out when he arrives.’ And chuckling to himself Jiraiya too, disappeared in a puff of smoke, heading for the Uzumaki estate.



-----------------------------------Uzumaki Estate------------------------------

'Wow so this is the place. Its nice. It looks well kept, so what did Jiraiya mean by worn?' Naruto thought as he appeared in front of the estate compound's doors. Looking around Naruto could see fresh paint, and trimmed grass. 'Worn out my ass, it looks like someone knew we were coming and got the place ready.’

“Well might as well go look around for a while.” Naruto said aloud as he began to push on the compound’s door. However just as Naruto was about to enter the house he heard a person behind him. Whirling to face his attacker he saw it was an Anbu soldier one of the hidden leaf's hunter ninjas.

'What the hell? Why is there an Anbu at the house', Naruto thought. 'Wait, I hear something to the left.'

Quickly leaping straight up Naruto managed to avoid the twelve kunai that slammed the spot where only moments ago he had been standing. Looking around he saw six more shadowy figures clinging to the trees surrounding him.

'What the hell are they attacking me for!! I’m a member of Konoha, AND why the HELL are they here on my father’s estate?’ Naruto thought as he dive rolled to the left to avoid another barrage of kunai that sailed towards him. ‘Fucking hell this day just keeps getting better an better. Oh well, they started this.' Naruto thought as he ducked as the ninja that first appeared, struck out with a vicious round house kick.

With that Naruto launched himself at the first Anbu ninja. With one swift movement Naruto drove his fist into the opposing ninja’s sternum. The other ninja didn’t even have a chance to move he was unconscious the second Naruto connected. But Naruto was still moving. Using his advanced form of the Body Flicker Jutsu he disappeared and re-appeared instantly behind the six ninjas that had thrown the kunai. It was over in an instant he hit all six with simultaneous blows and within seconds the last of the them had hit the ground unconscious.

'Oh man, I probably shouldn’t have done that,' thought Naruto as ten more Anbu soldiers dropped from their hiding place to face the threat that Naruto brought. Once more it took Naruto no more than a split second to knock out the ten ninjas. But as Naruto started to walk away from the pile of unconscious ninja's one managed to stager to his feet and swing out wildly with his kunai. Naruto unaware of the threat behind him, had continued to walk. It was only until the ninja fell with a thud and sunk the kunai into Narutos thigh, that he noticed the attack. Cringing Naruto reached down and removed the Kunai from his leg.

“Ouch! That kunai hurt.”' ‘I'm getting careless. Should have checked whether or not any of them were still conscious enough to move.' Then reaching down he tugged lose the kunai from his leg. “Damned I guess its time I stopped playing around, I don’t like getting hit by anyone.” He called out, as what seemed like hundreds of moving shadows began to head in his direction.

With that Naruto increases his speed to that of lightning, surpassing his fathers speed by four fold, and went to work. In seconds what seems like a few hundred Anbu soldiers were lying unconscious on the ground. The twelve who still remain conscious, were standing in the center courtyard of Uzumaki Estate facing Naruto. Finally after several long seconds of silence one of them stepped forward, Naruto still in his battle sense prepared to strike on the slightest incline of movement closer to him. Yet the Anbu just stood there. Then in a low hard voice he demanded “Who are you and why have you come to the Anbu’s Headquarters, and training facility.”

Puzzled Naruto replied. “What? What do you mean the Headquarters and training facility of the Anbu? Isn’t this the Uzumaki estate?”

“Yes it is but Arashi Kazama left the estate as a place for us to use to train our Anbu, and to base our operations out of. Now I ask again what are you doing here? Who sent you?” And most importantly WHO are you?” The ninja asked perplexed. He had just witnessed his entire Anbu force annihilated at the hands of one ninja. It was unquestionable that whoever stood before him had skill. Too much for them to not look on him as anything other then a threat.

Feeling foolish about having attacked and possibly killed a few of the Anbu soldiers, Naruto thought back to Jiraiya. “Damned that Jiraiya-san forgetting to tell me the most important thing before we visit. The next time I see him I’m gonna kick the crap out of his perverted ass.” Naruto shouted punching his palm with a curled fist,

“We shall not ask again. If you refuse to acknowledge our request for a name and business here then we will have no choice but to eliminate you. So ANSWER BOY!” The ninja bellowed at Naruto. Suddenly Naruto felt his killing aura spike. ‘He’s serious about this huh.’

“Ok. Ok. Sorry for trespassing. I though that Jiraiya would have contacted you if he knew you guys were here. My name is Uzumaki Naruto. And as I have said I’m here because Jiraiya told me to come.” 'Can’t tell them about my relationship to the Fourth. Jiraiya told me its better if nobody knows until the time is right,' thought Naruto, as he tried his best to remedy the bad situation. Feeling the killing aura of the man in front of him lessen slightly Naruto thought that maybe that was all he needed.

Just then another figure appeared in a cloud of smoke.

“Naruto, are you here? I forgot to tell you that this place was given to the Anbu to use as a training facility and as their HQ.” Jiraiya hissed quietly from the shadows.

Turning Naruto saw the silhouette of his teacher standing close to the tree that Naruto was now standing by. “I already figured that out no thanks to you Jiraiya." Naruto replied hotly as he reached out and struck Jiraiya on the head.

"Ouch!" Jiraiya complained as he felt the blow to the back of his skull.

Then taking a look around at the carnage he had cause Naruto continued. "And I know I’m gonna get punished for it sooner or later so I might as well take it now. I beat up a lot of the Anbu. But in my defence I only did it to protect myself.”

“WHAT!!! You beat up Anbu members???!!!! NARUTO! What have I told you about not fighting with people! Besides you couldn't have done too much after all you were only here a few minutes more then I was.” Jiraiya replied.

"Take a look around and see for yourself. If I hadn't done anything that I felt was dangerous then I wouldn't have notified you." Naruto said almost sarcastically.

Startled Jiraiya started to look about himself, 'Jeese' he though. 'Naruto did this?' Noting the several bodies strewn about. 'But there must be at least two hundred Anbu special ops members lying unconscious on the ground. Naruto I had never dreamed that you would become this powerful.'

“Jiraiya-sama if we could ask you what the meaning of this is that would make things go much faster.” Asked the hooded figure who had originally been speaking with Naruto.

“Oh your right where are my manners, Ibiki. This young man here is the son of the Fourth Hokage Arashi. You may not believe it but the child the Fourth chose to imprison the Kyubi in was his own son. He is the heir to the Uzumaki line and was named such by the Fourth on his death bed. We have come to retrieve a chest that was left for Naruto by Arashi before his death. Please excuse his behaviour.” Then turning Jiraiya spoke to Naruto. “Naruto bow you head and apologise to the Anbu leaders.”

Startled, Naruto looked that the twelve men standing before him. 'So these are the leaders of the Anbu Corpse,' Naruto thought. 'Jeese I really did it this time. I’m gonna be in so much trouble.' “I’m very sorry for fighting with your men Leaders of the Anbu, I’m afraid I got a little frightened and over reacted to the situation. Forgive me.” And with his apology Naruto bowed his head in respect to the Leaders of the Anbu.

“Boy if you truly are the son of the great Hokage Yodamine it is we who should be bowing our heads to you in respect.” Replied the hooded figure who Naruto now knew was Ibiki.

And to Naruto's and Jiraiya's astonishment as one the twelve leading members of the Anbu Corpse bowed their head in respect to Naruto. Then as one the twelve of them headed into the Uzumaki estate. Following suit Naruto and Jiraiya stepped into the huge compound right after them. Looking around Naruto saw that the halls were all illuminated by candles. Turning Naruto saw that Ibiki was staring at him, as were the other eleven.

“Jiraiya after you are finished with the man for I see you are no boy now that there is more light, we would like to have a word with him.” And seeing the frustrated and angry look on Jiraiya’s face as he looked at Naruto he continued. “And no he isn’t in trouble.”

“Very well when we are finished I'll send him to you.” Jiraiya replied.

With that the twelve Anbu leaders dispersed leaving Jiraiya and Naruto alone. Walking along Jiraiya and Naruto quickly made their way to their final destination. The Fourth hokage’s own room.
