Naruto: The Successor of a God

A Gift

Arriving at the front door of the Hokage's office Jiraiya told Naruto to wait outside. And after a little while a scream was heard from inside the office

"YOU WHAT"

Naruto decided is was time to walk in now in full display of the Hokage who looked at the boy with sadness. It wasnt every day you fight Itachi Uchiha once but to do it twice is suicide

"How are you my boy"

"I want answers"

"About the kyuubi i presume?"

"That and more. WHO. ARE. MY. REAL. PARENTS"

The sandaime dropped his pipe he was holding from the shock going threw his body. Not once in the years of Naruto living with him did Naruto ask about his heritage but to do it now he had no idea what to do

"Sensei call away your anbu"

The anbu taking the signal to leave listened and a barrier of privacy was made around them appearing light blue around them like a protective dome

"Its time we tell you the truth Naruto-kun"

"Im listening"

"Your mother was Kushina Uzumaki and your father was the Yondaime Minato Namikaze"

Naruto dropped to the ground gasping as a single tear of blood went down his right eye behind his eyepatch. "Y-you knew all this...The kyuubi, my parents and you still holded this?"

"I was needed to protect you from the arms of your fathers enemies, if word spread out of your heritage you would be hunted by every single hidden village seeking either to kill you or take you to join their own forces" This time Jiraiya was the one who spoke out. Naruto sighed and reached into his adoptive fathers desk reaching out for a pack of cigarettes. Taking out a lighter with it Naruto lighted one and began to smoke facing towards the view of the village

"As your father I should say no to this but the stress is so apparent ill let it pass for now"

Naruto putting the cigarette on his right hand putting it away froms his mouth spoke "My whole life has been a S-rank mission. From being excluded from all social activities and being isolated from everyone to having my sensei's going rogue and the other dying, I had to fight the remaining one to the death twice and both times he spared me. Now I have the Akatsuki after me and with my heritage revealed I am at lost to what pursue" He mused out chuckling taking a puff of his cancer stick and revealing his blood red eye to the sandaime

"I can do something about that eye"

"Explain"

"The kiri civil war is over and to commemorate the new alliance Mei the new Mizukage gave us her byakugan eye that was in her forces since the third shinobi world war. The council was indecisive on who to pass on the bloodline to and I have decided, Naruto the dojutsu will be passed on to you for payment for your brave actions against S-rank criminal Uchiha Itachi" The sandaime said making Jiraiya and Naruto to scream out in confusion. Hiruzen pulling out a scroll gave it to Naruto as well as a secret location where this would be happening

"Are you sure about this jiji?"

Receiving such a prestigious dojutsu like the byakugan was a gift sent from heaven. With such a dojutsu Naruto could become the strongest ninja to have come out of his generation by a landslide. He would be unstoppable in taijutsu and well as spying and infiltration with no trouble

"Yes my boy besides I cant bare to see my son with such a cursed eye"

Jiraiya getting over his shock led Naruto away to the location where top Konoha medics awaited his arrival

After the surgery Naruto was handed a new eye patch with specific seals to hide his eye from the byakugan itself and other dojutsu. He also received a new headband and placed it around his neck not wanting to ruin his look

Deciding to meet his adoptive father first he had many thoughts ringing threw his mind. What would he do now? Would he follow his real fathers footsteps of his adoptive fathers? If he followed Hiruzen's path Naruto would focus on his elemental ninjutsu and eventually gain an affinity for all the elements. If he followed the Yondaime he would try and learn the Hiraishin and become unstoppable in close combat. Putting his thought he walked inside and was met with the Hokage and the village elders

He was thrown a chunin vest making him look at Hiruzen with the elders behind him with confusion

"Genin Sarutobi Naruto for gaining information on Konoha's top criminal Uchiha Itachi I hereby make you chunin on a field promotion"

"WHAT"

"Indeed Naruto-san you deserve it. I expect great things from you" The man with half his body wrapped in bandages spoke out and the other two elders giving him a respectful bow and they all walked out of the room leaving son and father alone

"Are you sure about this jiji I mean Im barely 15"

"Hatake Kakashi was made chunin at 6 Naru-kun age in the shinobi life is but a number. But strength, strength is the true measure of ones ability to lead. I am also giving you this, a B-rank fire jutsu as a gift for your promotion. Stand tall chunin Sarutobi Naruto and make me proud"

"Hai Hokage sama"

"You're not gonna put the vest on?"

"Neh I like my ll black look besides vest like these cause too much attention with missions outside of Konoha"

"By the way Naruto you already have 2 S-rank missions under your belt so you are going to have to take a month off from duty"

Naruto walked away the office towards his training ground where he would train. Back in the office a jonin dropped his transparency jutsu

"Can you see the way he looked at my direction. He already was using his eye and tracked me in a matter of seconds within walking into the room, He's good Hokage sama"

"Indeed thats why when he gets back in active duty he will be placed within your squad"

"I accept I mean I don't want to pass the chance to teach sensei's son but isn't Jiraiya already his sensei?"

"Yes he is but I dont want Naruto joining in on the missions anymore so he will only teach the boy a few days a month while you remain his main sensei"

"Hai Hokage-sama"

"Impress me and see what you can do with my son Jonin Hatake Kakashi"
