Senju Naruto : Mokuton no Sennin.


Prologue


October 10th

Konohagakure

Hokage's tower


Sarutobi Hiruzen, known as the 'Shinobi no Kami' pinched the bridge of his nose. Not an hour ago, his predecessor and successor, Namikaze Minato, died in front of him and his students. Well, his two loyal students that counts. He gave his life to imprison the giant rampaging fox known as the Kyubi. But what shocked everyone was into who he sealed the said fox : his own and only son, Uzumaki Naruto.

Naruto kept his mother's maiden name to escape from his father's enemies. The problem was, who would adopt the kid? His advisors were out of question. The clan's heads were also out of question. He wanted to adopt him personally. Unfortunately, he knew that he have no right, because of that accursed council.

He thought about it for hours. The kid had the burden to be the jailor of the strongest Biju. Worse was the fact that only he and his now late successor/predecessor knew that the fox was not separated but rather full. They also knew that Madara, or someone who claimed to be Madara, was dead thanks to Minato's Rasengan being a bit overcharged.

'I think that Minato had a bad feeling. What a waste! He was a good lad. Biwako, what do you think? Should I really tell those two to adopt him?'

Naruto! That poor kid was orphaned and he didn't even reached his first hour. Hiruzen knew many bad things, but he knew that this kid, who should be considered a hero, may succumb and fast with no family. He knew how orphans could be treated badly, and that was exactly why he decided to do what he planned.

'I'm glad that Tsunade came back! With her experience as a medic-nin, and her being this close to the kid, that ought to be something Kami-sama planned for this child. Also, he looked at me with a rare happiness. Asuma, why did you grow up so fast son?'

Hiruzen sighed at the memories he had about his wife, how they dated each other, how Tobirama encouraged him to show her all the love he can. How she supported him as he was announced the Hokage. How he had his first son and his youngest, Asuma. Her death left a scar on him. He prayed for her, Kushina's and Minato's soul while praying that the one who cost him everything may suffer like he suffered.

'So, now Inu will come in about three, two, one...'

"Hokage-sama, is my otouto here?"

"Yes he is, Kakashi. Did you found them?"

"I did, Hokage-sama, they won't take too long."

Kakashi removed his mask, well, his ANBU mask, as he walked toward his sensei's son.

"How are my little bundle of sunshine? Oh who's the adorable little kawai baby? It's you. I hope you'll grow to surpass your uncle Sakumo, may he rest in peace, and your..."

Kakashi stopped mid sentence as he broke down in tears. He just remembered everything.

"Hokage-sama, please, I request a little vacation!"

Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, but he didn't say anything. He simply noded at the young ANBU.

"I understand Kakashi-kun. You shall have a one month vacation. Is that good for you?"

"Hai, Hokage-sama. I didn't want to, but I think that'd be the safest thing to do. Did anyone wanted to adopt Naruto?"

"I hope they won't refuse."

"Hiruzen-sensei, what do you need from us?"

Kakashi saluted the two Sannin as he left behind himself a swirl of leaves. Hiruzen signed to his two students to take a seat each. As they did, the old man told them what exactly he wanted from them.

"Jiraiya, Tsunade, as you two know, we each lost someone close to us. I lost my wife. You two lost a student each. But we have an urgent matter. This child here is their legacy. Minato-kun asked us one thing. That Naruto be viewed as a hero. But judging from this village's reaction, I don't think they will."

Jiraiya muttered some curses under his breath while Tsunade showed many emotions : anger, sorrow, regret. She now have but one choice. It was clear that her and Jiraiya's grandson needed them the most now more than ever.

"I will adopt him, sensei! If this old excuse of a pervert still want to help me, he's always welsome at the Senju compound. But if he doesn't want to, it's also fine by me!"

"Tsunade-hime, why do you want to do this? I mean, I'll help whenever I'll have time with my gr, er, godson's training, but we both know that I never rised any child before. Much less a toddler. I'm sorry if I may not be always here with you at your side hime, but I swear to Kami-sama himself that I will do my best to be the father he never had, and the grandfather he deserves so much. I swear that I will never let him give his hand to anyone. I swear that I'll make him a great shinobi, and a great man."

Tsunade and Hiruzen looked astonished to say the least how serious Jiraiya was in his vow. Tsunade almost cried as she knew exactly why her teammate, friend and old lover was this serious.

'Jiraiya-kun, I'm sorry if I almost cost you our son. It was my fault. If you'll propose to me this time, I won't refuse. You wanted redemption from your loss of our only son. Our handsome, strong and kind son, Minato-kun!'

"Alright, Tsunade-hime, you have no problem with this do you? I mean, I know I neglected you and you-know-who in the past."

"Jiraiya, I suppose not. Look, do what you must do. Naruto will never feel that he's alone nor unwanted. I will make sure of that as the Hokage!"

Jiraiya and Tsunade decided to reveal their legacy and secret to Hiruzen. Just after the legal guardianship was stamped in approval, Jiraiya and Tsunade told Hiruzen how Minato was their son. They told him everything. The old Hokage sighed in frustration at this. He always had a suspecion about Minato's origin. But this was too much in a single night.

"Alright, look, Jiraiya, Tsunade, if I were you, I would train Naruto-kun at three. Trust me, that would be the best idea you guys may do."

"Thank you sensei for everything. I think I must go and see Shizune. She must be worried sick out of her mind now."

As Tsunade left with her grandson/adopted son, Jiraiya staid to talk with his mentor about many things. Tsunade's decision brought many things to light. He needed to uncover them all.

"By the way sensei, you never told me how you came to this office this fast? I mean, as the previous Hokage, which laws did you pass under the table?"

Hiruzen chuckled evilly as he shook his head.

"Two new laws. First is the maximum age for an advisor. The second, is who's the real law in the village."

"Aren't you afraid of the mummy? I mean he was your rival, right?"

"That's why I need you and Tsunade as my new advisors. The problem would be that in three years, you two will need to work again. Also, I figured that in three years period, Naruto-kun may get the support he needs in order to rise to a legend one day. With that much power inside him, the clock is ticking Jiraiya."

"I know what you do mean, sensei. I mean, in time, maybe he'll force the whole world to be at peace again? I don't know yet!"

"By the way, that Uchiha Minato killed, itnturned out that I know who he is. He was, unfortunately, his late student, Uchiha Obito."

Jiraiya was shocked how a supposedly dead Uchiha raised from the grave and did all that on his own.

"I see sensei. That means that, Naruto may not enjoy his childhood too much now that he could have some enemies going after him, am I wrong?"

"You're not wrong, Jiraiya. I think we need to do something about it... That's it! I think we'll need to train him and I might be right, he may even have a Kekkei Genkai. Who knows? He may take the Senju name to a higher place than anyone else. Maybe even Konoha's name..."

"I hope no one would be stupid enough to do anything to make him hate the village sensei. I mean, who knows how strong this kid would be? With the legacy of three of the best Konoha's ninjas, he may be fated to be the best shinobi ever born in Konoha."

"Naruto-kun will know me as his grandfather, Jiraiya. I may be an old man, and I can't show any favoritism, but that dosen't mean I can't do anything for him. Now, the problem at hand is, the lack of wind user specialist. Maybe... Well, I will write a book about it and I hope your publisher won't say anything about it."

"No, he wont. Remember my old Fuinjutsu book? I mean he did accept to publish it and I donated it to Konoha's shinobi library."

"I know. It was a failure but to some jonins."

"They don't even know what's a good shinobi art is. Ignorance was never a bliss. It's a curse!"

"Amen to that, my student. Amen to that."


Senju compound

Sometime later


Shizune prepared her senbon luncher only to realise that the intruder was not a hostile.

"Oh! It's just you, Jiraiya-sama."

"Lovely and cute as always, Shizune-chan... Wait a second, what do you mean by it's only me?"

Shizune giggled as she watched her mentor's friend facial expression. The man showed mock anger. It was clearly fake to her as he continued.

"By the way, where is Tsunade-hime? I thought she'd take care of my little gaki."

"She's feeding him now. And that's why I can't allow you in."

"What do you mean you can't allow me in? Oh, you mean, breastfeeding?"

Shizune blushed a crimson shade upon hearing Jiraiya's correct guess. She figured that if he'll step in, her mentor won't think twice before killing the man. That was the last thing she needed. Jiraiya may be a pervert with no equal, but that wasn't enough reason to let him die.

"That's exactly why I can't let you in, Jiraiya-sama. I mean, we need you to live, at least for Naruto-kun. He needs you, more than you may think."

"Of course he does. I mean, who'll teach him the most important things in his life later on?"

Shizune giggled at this. Jiraiya can be lacherous, stubborn, greedy, a foolish drank, but he can't allow himself to break his sense of honor. It was a matter of honor for the man, more than a matter of pride. That meant that he won't stop until he did said.

"But I want Naruto-kun to stay an innocent child as much as possible!"

Jiraiya sighed. Again, he was misjudged. He shook his head a moment before he replied.

"I meant my secret Fuinjutsus and maybe Senjutsu one day, but we'll talk about that later. For now, I meant to teach him about life, love, and many other things."

Shizune's eyes widened upon hearing this. To learn Naruto Senjutsu meant that the kid would be almost invincible. She knew that since Tsunade once told her about her strongest teammate being Jiraiya thanks to that particular art. And here's the master of the said art telling her that her surrogate little brother could learn it, even as a baby? This won't be good for many people. Especially Orochimaru one day, the land of lightning, and the land of earth. She heard that the land of water was currently troubled. But she have no idea what would happen eventually.

"Why would you go this far, Jiraiya-sama? I mean, is he related to you?"

Jiraiya sighed as he mentally thought how right Shizune was. He wanted to reply and tell her, yet he couldn't. After a brief struggle, he finally told her half the truth.

"Well, you know that I was an orphan like him. So, I won't let him suffer like I did. He may or may not attend the academy, but I won't stay idly as his potential as a shinobi gets wasted. I know it's too early to talk about it, but trust me if I tell you that this village may hold a grudge against him."

"So, you'll be his father, Jiraiya?"

Tsunade appeared before them while she had the now sleeping baby in her arms. Jiraiya smiled warmly as he saw his grandson sleeping peacefully. This was one of the rare moments of peace he wanted for so long. If he didn't have his spy network, he would never leave.

"Yes, Tsuna-hime. I won't fail again. This I swear!"

"I hope not. Oh, and I won't allow anyone to harm my little Naru-chan. No matter who they think they are."

"Unfortunately, hime, I might not always be here. You know about my spy network. But whenever I'll have time, I'll be here."

"So, this is goodbye for now then?"

Jiraiya looked one last time to the woman he loved ever since he can remember and still loved. He sighed in sorrow and frustration as he knew that he might dissapear for a long time. He then smiled at the fact that Naruto have a family that would give him his rightfully deserved love.

"For now yes. I would always love you, hime. Before, now, and to my last breath. Well, see you next time. Show Naruto what he deserves the most in this world. When I'll be back, I'll spend all the time I would have with him and you. Take care, Tsunade-hime."

After one last glance, Jiraiya went off with a shunshin. Tsunade smiled as she rocked the now giggling baby who tried to reach for her. The woman smiled foundly at her grandson attempt to reach for her face.


Three years later

Senju compound


Kakashi smiled behind his mask how Naruto was getting along quite well with his nin-kens. Pakkun especially was talking with the kid about many things he would normally only talk to Kakashi himself about. That was saying something.

Kakashi mused how Naruto was the reason he changed to the best. That kid can be very active sometimes, yet lazy some other times. If he'd make a wild guess, he'd say that they're related. He chuckled how they were related. Maybe not by blood, but their relation as siblings can be obvious somehow. Kakashi even started dating a young chunin a bit older than him named Kurenai since some weeks ago. That woman may dislike perverts, but truth be told, there's no man that's not a pervert, even for one single woman, right?

Kakashi also thought how Tsunade almost chocked him to death when she saw his gift to Naruto three months ago was an orange book. Of course she mistook it for a certain book that have the same color. Fortunately, Naruto was able to show her that it was a book about shurikenjutsu. Tsunade apologized to Kakashi but lectured him on what and what not to give to a three years old.

Naruto have also made his first friend. Well, kind of made his first friend. The kid was strolling on his way back from visiting the Hokage. He didn't notice how Kakashi was watching him, just in case. When he saw how his surrogate little brother walked the Hyuga heiress back home and left her at the door, his years in the ANBU kicked in as her father got out. Kakashi soon walked in the shadows watching Naruto who went back home. He swore that he heard Tsunade kind of scold the kid about staying out late and lecturing him about the dangers of the village.

"He grew up so fast, don't you think so, Tsunade-sama?"

Tsunade was stunned how Kakashi felt her approaching him. This shock however didn't last more than a split second.

"I guess. He's been bugging me about learning a jutsu or two. I think he must learn Taijutsu, for now at least. I swear he can be like his father sometimes. I mean, he finished the last technique in the book yesterday."

"That was fast. It took me a week more than this to be honest, Tsunade-sama. So, no clan head or heir visited yet?"

"Only Uchiha Mikoto and her older son, Itachi. That kid reminds me a lot of Madara only... He's not a cold arrogant jerk like that monster."

"I know. Itachi is one of the few Uchihas I can tolerate. He looks like his father yet he's a lot like his mother. I told him to put her above anyone and anything else. Somehow I'm feeling sorry for the Uchihas. I mean, many of them are accused of trying to follow Madara's path sometimes."

"Well, we both know if it was Ojii-sama who betrayed this village, no one would be here right now. I mean, he had that Kekkei Genkai that was considered stronger than any Dojutsu's ability..."

"Just the name alone can make any shinobi tremble with fear. I heard how the Shodai Kages were considered to be almost the strongest, but Hashirama-sama was considered to be on a league of it's own.."

"Kaa-chan! Kakashi-niichan! Ero-touchan!"

Naruto's happy call reminded them that the kid does have a sharp eyesight for a human. Maybe it was a perk of his... Condition? Maybe he does have some naturally acute senses?

"Jiraiya!"

"Jiraiya-sama?"

The tall white haired man smiled foundly at the sight before him. Shizune was at the hospital most likely. That left him one thing to say and do.

"Hey there Hime, Kakashi, dear little gaki of a sochi! Naruto, how many times I told you to call me just Tou-chan?"

Naruto laughted sheepishly at his adoptive father's dismay.

"Too many times? I lost count dattebayo."

Tsunade shook her head about her son's verbal tick. Truelly, he grew up faster than she thought.

She remembered how he took his first steps. Mostly motivated by his will to reach her. His first word was 'Kaa-chan'. He was her hope of redemption. She saw Nawaki and Minato at his place sometimes and cried a bit. Whenever she cried, her adorable blond kid cried unconsciously.

"That's not the point! Anyway, it's time for me to get more involved in your training. I mean, I heard you're learning shurikenjutsu."

"Er, I just finished the book's last step yesterday..."

Jiraiya watched how his grandson was embarrassed and blushing. The toad sage laughted as he complimented the boy.

"Wow, I never heard of this before. You definitely learn fast, it seems. I mean, you were able to beat a genius this easily. Anyway, did you master all the techniques written? Not just replicate I mean..."

Naruto noded heartily as he pulled off some shuriken, and threw them with a great precision without even turning at a blind spot. Kakashi's eye widened at this. A three years old was able to pull off one of the hardest moves? Seriously? How hard did the kid was trained? What kind of talent does this kid have?

"So, it was bad? I mean, I'll work even harder to master it dattebayo!"

Kakashi interrupted everyone upon hearing this.

"Naruto, the only thing remained for you to be better is to pull off about... Three other shurikenjutsu techniques. Two of them are a ninjutsu. The last is a Fuinjutsu. So, yeah. You may think it's bad, but I've seen chunins lose months to do this move. So, yeah. You did great. Fantastic even. For a three years old, you're sensational, Naruto."

"Sent... What?"

"He meant cool, Naru-chan!"

Naruto blushed under the praise. He actually spent weeks to practice that move. It was the hardest thing he ever did in his short life. And to hear that he didn't mess up made his heart rejoice with happiness.

"Arigato, Nii-chan!"

"Well, Naru-chan, lesson number two, Taijutsu. It seems that you'll need to build both your power and speed first. Jiraiya, any ideas?"

Jiraiya shook his head. He wanted to train Naruto badly. Yet he was afraid of hurting the boy. However, when he asked his mentor about it, the old Hokage advised him to teach the boy the basics and focus on them the most.

"Tsunade-hime, you know better about the katas. I mean, you're the one who know about Shodai-sama and Nidaime-sama the most. I can't teach him the kawaza-kata (frog fu) yet!"

"I never wanted this to happen. I wanted him to have a normal childhood."

Naruto pouted at this. He really enjoyed training more than anything. Only when he played with his family was more fun for him.

"But Kaa-chan, I really want to train. Please?"

Tsunade almost glomped him or pinched his cheeks. She decided against, for now at least.

"Alright Naru-chan. I'll show you the katas. But only the katas!"

And so, Naruto's training begun. For the next three years, the blond Senju would learn the basics of many shinobi arts...


Three years later

Senju compound (yet again!)


Naruto panted heavily. He unlocked his chakra. Finally he did something he waited for a long time to do. He also had some nightmares sometimes about a giant, mountain-sized, nine tailed fox.

However, he protected a certain girl twice from boys older than himself who were bullying her. The blond Senju smiled foundly at that particular memory. He did it because he had to. Naruto smiled again as he saw that girl. He may not be her friend as a technical term, but at least he was able to be a bit closer. However, it seems that his trial caught him. And fatigue soon claimed him as he fall forward, only to be caught by a certain silver haired jonin.

"Oh no you don't fall on my watch!"

"Kakashi-niichan! Good you're hereeee"

Kakashi sighed as he carried the boy in his arms to the compound's main house. As Tsunade greeted him, he simply eye smiled. However, he had one question on his mind...

"Is it normal for someone who unlocked his chakra to produce a visible shroud of it with a green hue?"

Tsunade's eyes widened upon hearing this. The woman almost fell to her knees if she didn't held herself. Well, figuratively at least.

'It can't be! Not that cursed bloodline again!'

"Er, I have no idea Kakashi? By the way, say 'Hi' to Kurenai for me!"

Kakashi immediately shunshined without uttering a single word.


The next day

The academy


Tsunade was walking Naruto to the academy. Her cute little Sochi was smiling with joy. He really wanted to have a friend. Civilians were out of question for him, as most of them were... Shallow or bullies. Clan heirs however, was a whole another question. As he lazily took a nap through the ceremony, many of the clan heirs and heiresses looked at this kid. Some with questions, some with respect, some with aadmiration (a certain Hyuga)...

As the usual spar between two kids to showcase the abilities took place between Senju Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, Naruto gave his hand to Sasuke, who immediately shook it.

"Let's show them which is the greatest clan. The Uchiha or the Senju."

"How about a bet? You lose, you became my friend. I lose, I tell you something you're interested in?"

Sasuke smiled. For once, he hoped the spar to end in a tie. He didn't voiced this however...

"Deal! Let's show this people! No holding off!"

Naruto smirked. Oh how he's gonna love to be tied to the brother of Uchiha Itachi, one of the best chunins for ages.

Umino Iruka signaled for the fight to begin. Immediately, Naruto and Sasuke were exchanging blow for blow. Naruto was slightly stronger, but also slightly slower. The fight went for several minutes, until the two kids landed a solid hit on each other. Like they both wished, it ended up in a tie.

"Not bad. You hit like a hammer, you know that?"

"Heh, better than a whip anyway!"

"Whatever you say, Tonkachi (Hammer) !"

"Yeah sure, Muchi (Whip) !"

Tsunade soon laughted at this scene where Mikoto apologized from her mentor's teammate. Tsunade didn't take any offence, but it seems that Naruto and Sasuke were much more of Kushina and Mikoto than Hashirama and Madara. Two rivals who most likely would end up as two best friends...

The spars went on. Naruto however glanced at a certain Hyuga bluenette as she spared with a girl named Ami. Needless to say that the blue haired Hyuga won and fast.

Hiashi smiled as his older daughter proved to him that she wasn't a failure like most of his clan thought. But she really needed to build up her confidence somehow. He glanced at Tsunade and Mikoto and how they treated their proginiture with encouragement and respect. He felt kind of guilty how he treated his daughter coldly. But he couldn't show it. He was the head of the Hyuga clan. And Kami forbid that anyone sees him showing that weakling's emotion!

Tsunade frowned at this. She knew this would happen eventually. Beside the fact that she saw a girl as a sweet future comrade for her grandson, maybe she'll be even more than just a friend to the boy?

She also noticed how the Nara and Akimichi heirs talked with each other like they were best friends. She gently pushed Naruto toward them. Soon, Sasuke followed his first friend. Well, kind of first friend and more of a rival. Soon, all the Aburame and Inuzuka's heirs joined. Also, they were joined by a Hyuga and a kid older than them by a year. She noticed how the Hyuga heiress was kind of scared from the Hyuga kid...

"Kaa-chan, er, can I invite my friends this weekend?"

Tsunade shook her head in amusement. She left Naruto for five minutes, and here he was a friend to all those kids.

"I don't mind one bit. But you know that you may be busy?"

Naruto gulped as he remembered that the Saturday he'll be busy. But then again he remembered about his free Sunday. Well, kind of free Sunday.

"So, er, Sunday guys?"

Tsunade giggled at her grandson's antics. He may be adorable half the time, but the other half he can also be old. Even though she still didn't tell him his two biggest secrets, she reminded herself about checking the boy's elemental affinity. If Kakashi's words were true, then who know if that problem she used to have will resurface again?

Senju Nawaki. Tsunade's younger brother died because of that curse. She remembered that day. The day she told him to test his affinity, she found that he had the Mokuton all along. It seems that the accursed bloodline tend to skip a generation most of the time, or so she red at her grandpa's notes.

She prayed that Naruto won't have that kekkei genkai. She knew that if the information leak, she'll need Jiraiya's help, and to be extremely careful.

She smiled when her cute little child was able to befriend each and every promising future genin. Aparantly, her grandson was a natural leader. Maybe he'll be a good man, and a great Hokage one day...


Later that day


Tsunade's eyes widened as she saw the chakra paper she gave to Naruto torn asunder into two part with a clean cut right in the middle, turn into wood, then drip some water droplets. Shizune immediately took Naruto to another room as Jiraiya entered. He heard Tsunade's muffled sobs...

"Why? Oh Kami-sama why my little Naru-chan? Why does he have that accursed bloodline?"

Jiraiya immediately felt bad when he heard her words as he came to a conclusion. He knew exactly what Tsunade was talking about...

Mokuton! Wood release was known as the strongest Kekkei Genkai ever wielded by any clan. The word alone can make any hardened shinobi tremble with fear at this unrestrained power that have the ability to crush mountains and subdue even the Bijus themselves. Jiraiya concluded that Naruto's childhood was over then and there. The Gama sennin knew that if he wanted his grandson to reach his limit, which was the sky no less, he had no choice. Training starts the instant your secret weapon is revealed. That was the rule of the Senju.

'Minato, my son, I'm so sorry! Your child may never enjoy his childhood much longer, but I won't let anyone turn him into a tool. This I swear!'

"Tsunade-hime, what's done is done. Naruto may very possibly be the child of prophecy I was searching for so long about..."

Tsunade immediately grabbed Jiraiya by the collar and lifted the tall man off the ground as she glared into his very soul...

"I don't care at all! I mean why does he have that accursed bloodline? Why couldn't he be normal? Why? You know that this may turn him into a huge target? That old fart Danzo won't hesitate one second to..."

"Not if I pound him into a bloody stain first!"

Tsunade released Jiraiya, shocked by the look of his eyes. Gone was the cheerful, fun loving Jiraiya. This Jiraiya screamed power and commanded respect. Tsunade smiled at this.

"Leave me a piece or two if that would happen!"

"I will. By the way, Tsuna-hime?"

"What, Jiraiya-kun?"

"About sensei, when and where we tell him?"

Tsunade sighed as she knew that their problems had just begun...

"When the time is right. Beside, Naruto can use chakra and his main affinity is wind."

Jiraiya growled. He didn't have any wind jutsu, the old man on the other hand...

"I'll see what I can do. Maybe I'll teach him the Rasengan for now?"

Tsunade's eyes widened with horror.

"He's six for Kami's sake, Jiraiya! What if..."

"It's now or never! I need to teach him each and every chakra control exercise I can find. Also, I think his chakra level was unbelievable according to Hatake Kakashi. And we both know how much he loves our cute little gaki!"

Tsunade growled at this. She was cornered and she knew it. Her cute little grandson had already grew too much. She tried to assess his skills only for her to sigh from frustration, think about it then answered her lover...

'He knew already a lot of Fuinjutsus. Even without activating them, he's very close to level five. He can now use both Senju taijutsu styles, have a superb shurikenjutsu. All he lacks is chakra control... Damn! I think that Jiraiya is right!'

"OK, tell the old man. But only via a paper, and burn the damn thing afterward! Also, check for any intruder before you do so. In his house's doorsteps!"

Jiraiya smiled at this. He was glad that the mother of his son and grandson was this shrewed and smart. He really wanted to marry her now. However, it was not the right time.

"Fine. You're the boss ma'am!"

As he shunshined, Tsunade went to her son's room. She was thinking what would she tell him now?

"Kaa-chan! Are you ok? What happened? Why were you crying?"

Tsunade looked at her son's eyes. The kid was crying since she was crying not long ago. She berated herself as she wiped her tears...

"Nothing to worry about too much, sweety. I was afraid for you, that's all. Your Kaa-chan is a big strong woman with no equal."

"What about me, Kaa-chan? I mean, I'm not sick, see?"

Tsunade giggled as her adorable ball of sunshine putted her hand on his own forehead. She shook her head as she told him what worried her.

"Remember what I told you about my Granpa Hashirama when I was at your bed?"

Naruto noded as he retold her the stories she told him.

"... And you said that he was able to do that cool forest jutsu... And that he and unce Nawaki, may he rest in peace, had the same ability about that kek, keki genk?"

Tsunade chuckled at that. Her adorable little sochi was now stuck trying to remember the word.

"Kekkei Genkai, Naru-chan. It's a bloodline limit that allow only ninjas from that said can to do some extremely powerful jutsus."

"Like Shisui-Niichan's sharingan? Or like that mean grumpy old man's white eye?"

Tsunade soon exploded in a laughting fit about Hiashi being a grumpy old man. She remembered how he was boasting how the Hyugas were the strongest clan. She laughted at the memory of how her daughter-in-law's friend didn't took it too kindly. If she wasen't there, she swore that she'll remind him of her clan's might. Mikoto was the Uchiha matriarch for one reason only : She was the strongest Uchiha alive. Maybe her oldest son would surpass her very soon...

"Yes. That kind of sum it up. Anyway, you have a Kekkei Genkai. And you may need to train in some Hijutsus. I'm glad that all of those were written just in case."

"Yay Kaa-chan! That means that I will be strong enough to protect all those whome I love dearly dattebayo!"

"Not so fast young man! About your Kekkei Genkai, I want you to never tell anyone about it. This is not open to discussion!"

Naruto pouted at this after he was dancing with joy. However, he saw the pained expression of his mother, which stoped his pouting expression as she continued.

"Not only because you're the Senju heir, my kawai little Senju heir who I might teach some of my secrets, but also because I want to protect you. Only you, me, Shizune, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Hiruzen-sensei and finally, possibly your new sensei if he'll hear are allowed to know. Until you reach the graduation age, you are totally forbidden from using your power outside. Is that understood Naruto-kun?"

Naruto looked at the serious expression of his beloved mother and noded with a passion. He may be young, but he knew better than to refuse. Even though Tsunade never punished him, he didn't want to earn her wrath. He still remember how she almost killed a Hyuga man with a single punch. The man was mean to him, and he was unlucky enough to be caught red handed!

"I swear I won't, Kaa-chan! But if I might ask, what are my elements?"

Tsunade smiled at this. She would never punish her beloved and only son. The boy was too cute for his own good sometimes.

"Good, my kawai little Naru-chan! Who's the good sochi?"

Naruto struggled to no avail to flee from his mother's hug. He finally submitted and replied..

"Me, Kaa-chan. Me!"

Tsunade smiled as she made a shadow clone and sent him to bring her a scroll about Kenjutsu and Futon (Wind release) from the Senju's library.

Naruto's eyes widened at this as he tried to imitate his mother only to fail. However, he didn't feel tired one bit. However, Tsunade scolded him for some minutes about imitating her jutsus without permission. Only for her at the end to kiss his forehead.


AN : So, this is chapter one everybody. Sorry if it felt kind of bad or under your expectations. Like I said before, if you feel that it's too bad, just shoot me a PM. No need to review if it felt kind of bad, alright? Take care and I'll see you next time...

P.S. I hope I won't mess up. Next time, I'll try to cover the academy days. Long wasteful days with many enjoyable memories. Unlike the prologue though, I won't cover but the most important changes. This is my AU, so, I'll write it at my likes. But also feel free to give me a little help?
