Moving On
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
Chapter 1
In Konoha a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes was looking around his Spartan style room that was now an empty room, not even a bed remained, it was completely empty. The blonde was Naruto Uzumaki and he was holding a scroll as he looked over the room making sure everything was gone.
On the scroll it read room while he had another scroll in his other hand labelled jutsu. Naruto took all the jutsu that his parents had written down for his jinchuriki twin, Naruko.
"I suppose I should head back now" Naruto said as he left the building through the window and headed towards the Uchiha clan district, the place he had been living at since he was six years old.
The soon to be thirteen year old took some more important belongings from the Uzumaki compound like jutsu and seals ideas. He did have a smirk as he looked back at the compound, years of preparation for moving on from his family was complete and what better way to move on than on his birthday.
Naruto entered the Uchiha district and passed some clan members who waved at the honorary clan member. You see Naruto after the age of five was neglected by his parents in order to train his sister, it wasn't just his parents it was also his godfather Jiraiya and Kakashi as well.
Something about a prophecy made the blonde scoff before thinking about his sister, she was arrogant, rude, self-absorbed, he could go on and bitch would pretty sum it up. He didn't care though as he had his true family consisting of many others.
He was taken in by Mikoto and Fugaku and even his godmother Tsunade who visited just when they started neglecting chose to stay with him rather than his spoilt sister.
Over the years he met others who helped him and became members of his new family and the respect they had for the Yondaime and his wife greatly dropped. The family of the Ichiraku Ramen place also helped the blonde.
Many others over the years joined his new family and they taught him many things. Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Fuinjutsu, Genjutsu, Kenjutsu, Iryo Ninjutsu etc. Tonight they would be holding a party for Naruto's birthday.
Naruto entered the guest room and placed his scrolls down. He glanced at the jutsu scroll before looking towards the door. He could go to the Uchiha library for jutsu but he decided to stay with the scroll in front of him.
As an Uzumaki he was going to learn his clan's sealing techniques. The other techniques he would learn just because and make changes to them, those techniques were powerful after all.
However despite being powerful there was a lot of room to make improvements, one of the 'original' techniques his 'father' made wasn't even finished and the other technique he also 'created' required a catalyst, sure it would be hard to do it without one but it should be possible if more time was spent working on it.
He stopped and glanced over towards the clock. "I should get ready soon" He thought. He was putting his plans into action. Tonight was the night he was going to official move on from his family.
The neglected him, hit him whenever his 'sister' said something that involved him hurting her, breaking things, when he won the spars against his sister, when he was found training. Minato and Kushina weren't ready to be parents and when Tsunade found out they hit him, she wasn't happy about it.
When the other members of his new family heard, they also weren't happy and got back at the family in their own way. They also hated Naruko's personality and refused to train her much to the Jinchuriki's anger.
The only good thing Minato did as a parent was execute Danzo for revealing his plans to turn the two into weapons and disbanding ROOT completely. Naruto waited until the party started so until then he was going to practice and then there was the other party that truly mattered.
The party kicked off as clan heads and heirs joined along with civilians. Naruto was unseen by everyone as their attention was on Naruko, no one spared him a second glance, not a single one.
How did he feel about that? Good, he didn't truly care for the party, this was all for the plan. Naruto had to wait through some boring parts like meeting the guests, a few presents, cake as it was all the same with Naruko's parties. At least Naruto's parties they try to make something new a couple of times. Suddenly Minato got everyone's attention that caused Naruto to smirk.
"I would like to announce that Naruko is officially the heir to the Uzumaki Clan" Minato said to the party guests as they were left shocked at the announcement.
Silence rang through the room as clapping could be heard. The room turned to see the forgotten son of Minato and Kushina clapping as he walked down towards his sister. The party guests took in his appearance.
He was wearing black pants, a white v neck with three quarter sleeves, and finally he wore a necklace with a black cord with a small golden kunai with his name engraved in red.
Minato and Kushina were looking at Naruto in shock as Naruko scowled at her brother. "What are you doing here?" Naruko venomously spat out clearly displeased at her brother being here. "You're ruining the party"
"Yeah get lost loser" Ino said as she also scowled at Naruto before she fell to the ground with tears in her eyes holding her cheek. She looked up to see Naruto looking down at her with cold eyes.
"Silence trash" He coldly said to her with his hand raised. When Ino stood in his way he slapped her down. He then had a box and held it for Naruko to grab. "I got you a gift" He said as his sister looked down at the box in question.
"It was worth a lot of ryo" He said. "Almost as much as Tsunade-chan's necklace" This got her attention and grabbed the box without a thank you or anything similar.
Naruto just turned away and walked as Inoichi frowned at him and went to grab the boy who slapped his daughter, he was disappointed in Ino for the way she acted but after she got slapped he went into overprotective father mode.
However Inoichi couldn't move. He looked down to see four senbon in his arms and legs. They were coated in a paralytic poison making it so he couldn't move. Inoichi tried to speak but he couldn't find his words.
Meanwhile Shikaku was looking at Naruto walk away before his eyes looked down at his body. "He managed to strike us all with senbon coated in paralytic poison without any of us noticing" He looked up towards the children. "All of us except the children and Minato and Kushina have been hit with senbon"
"He also managed to place chakra suppression seals, silencing seals and restriction seals on us except for the same ones who got hit by the senbon… Minato and Kushina do have the chakra suppression seals on them though"
"He even used Ino when he slapped for all of us into shock" Shikaku thought. "He sure is a prodigy to go unnoticed by all of us and place seals and poison covered senbon on us"
Naruko however opened the box to see… a seal? "What the hell is this?" She asked with frustration.
"It's a seal" Minato said looking down at it. "Try pushing chakra into it"
"It's probably a storage seal to protect your gift" Kushina said nodding along with Minato.
Naruko pushed chakra into the seal and almost instantly long sharp rods came out of the seal piercing right through Naruko's body and head killing her.
This caused everyone to freak out but they couldn't move and Minato and Kushina were in shock at how their daughter was killed! Suddenly seals appeared all around the room and started to glow a bright red.
Minato and other tried to use their chakra but they found out they couldn't at all. Shikaku however was thinking after witnessing the murder. "So that was his plan" He thought. "It must have taken him years to set all of this up unless he is just like Itachi, then again he is an Uzumaki"
Shikaku had to admit that Naruto was a genius with the seals. Chakra suppression seals caused whoever it was attached to greatly suppress their chakra making it so they couldn't activate their jutsus. The silencing seals were mainly used to make a room completely silent so those outside couldn't hear them speak but those in the T&I department (mainly Anko and Ibuki) used it to silence whoever they were interrogating making it so they couldn't speak, they jokingly called it the Shut-Up Seal.
The Restriction Seal was the seal he was largely impressed by, the restriction seal was derived from the Gravity Seals but instead of weighing down the gravity to make it harder for someone to move, the restriction seal made it so they bodies couldn't move at all as it restricted their movement.
The use of both restriction seal and paralytic poison caused movement to be impossible. As a shinobi you could improve your resistance to poison by using non-lethal poisons. The seals were used as a back up to the poison as while they couldn't move due to against the seal (or at least have a very hard time) you could of have a resistance to the non-lethal poison.
"It looks like none of us are leaving alive" Shikaku thought as the whole room started to glow a bright white light. "Yoshino-hime… neither me nor Shikamaru are coming home tonight" A single tear went down his face as the whole compound exploded while other seals caused rods to come out of them piercing each one of the occupants killing them.
This happened all at once. Exploding seals exploded the whole compound destroying it completely, storage seals containing the rods caused piercing when unsealed and finally flash seals causing blind all the occupants.
Where once was a compound filled with people was now reduced to a burnt, smoking plot of land with no survivors.
Meanwhile in the Uchiha clan was Mikoto Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha, Tsunade and her apprentice Shizune, Ayame and her father Teuchi, Yugao, Hayate, Ibuki, Anko and Kurenai along with Asuma Sarutobi and finally Naruto himself.
They were throwing a party for Naruto in the Uchiha district. The party was going well as people talked to each other. Naruto was talking to Sasuke his best friend and rival, however there weren't many other Uchiha's left in the clan as a coup was starting to form but thanks to Itachi and Shisui the coup never happened at the cost some adults (mainly males) that wanted the coup to happened.
The clan lost some members but they still had a decent amount of members alive. When Sasuke went to get some more food Naruto looked around taking a look at the people he cared about with a smile on his face.
He looked over to his godmother and was quite shocked that she wasn't drinking sake at the party despite sake being at the party. It was probably for the trip home. Before he looked away his eyes did glance at her impressive bust.
Naruto looked back to his plate and eating some of the food, Naruto always liked women older than him and there were a few his age he liked. Actually all of the women in the room he had sexual attraction to.
You could blame Jiraiya and the Icha Icha series or you could blame Minato and Kushina's neglect causing Naruto to become attached to others who showed him more parental love. Either way Naruto didn't care what people would think if they found his preferred taste in women.
He eyes went over the other females of the room while passing over the males while waiting for Sasuke to return. He wondered what would happen if Sasuke ever found out that he has a crush or attraction to Mikoto.
Mikoto was now a widow due to Fugaku's death and Naruto was one of the people to comfort her. Mikoto said she wasn't going to go back into the dating game any time soon, deep down Naruto smiled.
He was torn when it came to Mikoto. She was a mother figure to him more than his real mother. He would admit that she was attractive and was a little jealous of Fugaku but he saw Fugaku as a father, he may be a little strict but he did show that he cares and that was what torn him.
One hand he didn't want to be with Mikoto or at least try to be with her in respect for his father figure and on the other wanted to be with Mikoto.
And the thing was it wasn't just only Mikoto. There was a room full of them remember?
Naruto sighed. Four people he wanted to turn up couldn't due to a mission and they were Rock Lee, Tenten, Neji Hyuga and Might Guy. Team Nine was older than them by a year and they would be graduating later during the year.
Naruto did feel sorry for Guy though because of what would happen soon. After his plan Guy wouldn't be the same as before and he would 'lose his youth'.
Will Naruto feel bad for the innocents that would perish alongside his father, mother and bitch of a sister?
No, not really. He didn't usually didn't care for anyone unless they were a part of his 'family', a group of people he truly cared for. Of course he would meet others he would come to care for and they would join his family but until then the only people he cared for was in this room… and four outside somewhere.
Guilt might reach his heart one day but for now they have chosen their sides, they chose the losing side, Naruko and it costed them tonight.
Sasuke came back to the table with more food and talked with his mother and brother before coming back after seeing Naruto look out the window towards his family's home. To Sasuke it looked like a 'I wonder what's happening' or 'What if' look but if any experienced shinobi were to see him looking towards the compound it was a clear sign of waiting for something to happen.
"I'm back" Sasuke said as he sat down opposite of Naruto.
Naruto just smiled at Sasuke. "I noticed" Naruto looked down at his own plate. "Maybe I should have went with you"
Sasuke glanced at his friend's plate. "Depends if your still hungry or not"
Naruto smiled as he stood up. "I'll be back in a flash" He also walked over to get more food. When he picked up some more food he saw Anko dropped her empty cup and went to pick it up, since she usually wore her overcoat and fitted mesh body suit that stretches from her neck down to her thighs, it showed off her body.
But tonight nearly everyone's outfit was different from their usual everyday outfits, more the females than the males. Anko was still tomboyish even if her usual outfit doesn't seem like it. She was wearing a dark purple tank top with a jacket over top and a pair of tight pants going down to her ankles.
Due to her jacket being open and bending over to pick up the empty cup it gave Naruto a good view of her cleavage. Mind you Naruto was not a pervert, he might have an appreciation for the female body but that didn't classify him as a pervert.
The stuff Jiraiya did was classified as perversion and Naruto didn't do what his godfather did. He might take a few looks but other males took looks at other females as well. He might have an attraction to some women but he wouldn't go after them if they were already in a relationship unlike Jiraiya when Tsunade dated Dan Kato before his death, Jiraiya still tried going for Tsunade.
Naruto walked back but he brought something else along with the food. Placing the food down Sasuke raised an eyebrow as he looked at the bottle Naruto brought over.
"What's that?" Sasuke asked pointing towards the bottle Naruto placed on the table.
"Sake" Naruto answered as he placed two sakazuki on the table.
"Why do you have sake?" Sasuke whispered.
Naruto looked at him with a raised brow as he poured the two cups. "No need to whisper" He said as he placed the small sake bottle down. "When you exchange sake cups, you become brothers"
Sasuke's eyes widened. "So that's what the sakazuki cups are for" Sasuke thought.
"When we become shinobi we may not be on the same team… but our bonds will keep us together as brothers. No matter where we are or what we do, our bond will not be broken" Naruto picked up his cup as did Sasuke. "Starting with this, today we're brothers"
Naruto and Sasuke drank the sake cups and both smiled. "We will be brothers unless I get together with Mikoto-chan" Naruto thought as he closed one eye. "I do wonder if you'll call me tou-san"
Naruto shook those thoughts before he looked at the other guests, he did wish the other guests stayed longer. Tsume Inuzuka and her daughter Hana, they were also two that witness the neglect and helped him.
He was also good friends with Kiba but they both left as Kiba had caught a rather nasty virus, Hana stayed a lot longer but she had to get back to the ninken.
Naruto stopped as he turned to the compound just as it exploded. Everyone in the Uchiha compound turned to the explosion.
"That explosion" Mikoto said as they stood up.
"It came from the Uzumaki compound" Itachi said as they all stood up including Naruto.
"Naruto, Sasuke, you both stay here" Asuma said as both looked at each other.
The adults left as Naruto, Sasuke, Ayame and Teuchi remained. Ayame and Teuchi remained as they were civilians.
"I hope they are okay" Ayame said as her father placed his hand on her shoulder. While she disliked Minato and Kushina for their neglect and Naruko for her attitude and behaviour of being arrogant and especially for how she acts towards her brother but that didn't mean she didn't want anything too bad to happen to them.
Naruto just looked out the window before he jumped out. "I can't take it" He said. "I need to know!" He then ran off leaving the three by themselves.
"I need to make sure their dead" He thought as he ran towards the compound as he smirk appeared on his face. "Never mind my suspicions are confirmed but this will further help my case"
Naruto reached the compound as he stared at it emotionlessly. Due to death of many clan heirs and clan heads along with the Jinchuriki and Hokage the leaf village would be severely weakened.
For Hokage however Tsunade would most likely be appointed as Hokage as she was the only sannin in Konoha now. Naruto inwardly scoffed at how easy it was for powerful figures such as the Yondaime, Kakashi and Jiraiya had easily died.
He then remembered an important saying and that was 'even a genin can kill a kage', this saying was told in the academy but many looked over it and it was surprisingly true. Skill and talent didn't matter, if you can catch your opponent unaware you can easily kill them.
For example if he and Minato had a true father son bond Minato would have his guard lowered around him and that night when they were sleeping he took out a kunai he could easily slice Minato's neck. If he were to wake up he could just play dumb and say that he couldn't sleep and wanted a genjutsu put on him or something similar.
Yugao looked over to Naruto who stared at the compound with 'dead' eyes. Yugao wrapped his arms around him.
"They might have neglected me but…why did they have to die?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know" Yugao said as she let go of the blonde.
"I…I'm going to…go back" Naruto finally got out as he dragged himself back to the compound with widened eyes and Yugao could see tears gathering in his eyes.
"Even though he said he wanted nothing to do with them anymore he still cared" Yugao thought as she watched Naruto walked away.
"Their dead alright" a chunin said.
"Do you know the cause of death?" Another chunin asked.
"Negative" The chunin replied.
Tsunade looked at the compound now gone leaving no survivors. "Everyone who attended died… was this an assassination attempt?" She wondered aloud. "This information if leaked could cause Iwa to invade"
Tsunade then looked down at the ground. "Even the pervert perished" She turned her head to see Naruto walking away or more likely dragging himself. "At least Naruto is safe"
Tsunade turned to the chunin. "Get me a list of everyone who attended the party… we are holding a funeral tomorrow"
Itachi was looking down at the burned area. "Such an attack caused many deaths without leaving any bodies"
Shisui nodded. "I wonder how Naruto is going to take this" When Shisui said this Itachi's eyes widened. Itachi knew that Naruto still wanted his real parents to acknowledge him.
Meanwhile Naruto was nearing the Uchiha district with a smirk on his face. He placed his hands together and called out a jutsu. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)"
Suddenly a clone of Naruto appeared and looked at him and nodded as the clone went back towards the destroyed compound. Naruto made the smirk on his face disappear as he walked into the building.
He walked over and sat down next to Sasuke. "Is everything alright?" Sasuke asked as Naruto looked at him.
"No one at the compound survived" Naruto said. "Everyone there died" Sasuke's eyes widened at the information.
"Wait, everyone?" He asked as the blonde only nodded.
The duo sat in silence. Sasuke was in shock at how everyone was killed while Naruto just glanced lazily out the window towards the compound he couldn't believe at how easily they were killed. Jonin levelled shinobi and Kage level shinobi killed just like that.
Blood was on his hands now, innocent blood, yet he felt nothing. You could call him a monster for what he did but he didn't care. He had chosen to move on from his family and in order to move on he had to get rid of the past.
Meanwhile with Naruto's clone was at the destroyed compound as everyone gathered together discussing whether it was an assassination or a common household seal failure… or even the Kyubi.
Thinking about the Kyubi, Naruto had to wonder that now with the death of the Jinchuriki if the Kyubi would reform and come back to Konoha. Naruto didn't believe it as the Kyubi wouldn't risk going back to Konoha and being sealed again.
The Kyubi would find somewhere to stay and never appear before humans again. The fox would most likely find a way to close itself from the human world than risk being resealed.
The clone watched as the older shinobi stayed for a while and Shizune, Itachi and Anko went back to the Uchiha district just in case the attackers would go after him. He would never be suspected as a prime suspect as many people at the party could testify he was there.
The clone decided to wait a while for the group of shinobi to disperse before walking over to the burnt plot of land and kneeling down. He placed his hands together as a seal glowed on the ground causing the clone to pick the paper tag up.
The clone headed over to the Forest of Death and placed the seal on the ground. It took him years to get all the seals in place after he first started learning about fuinjutsu but luckily being an Uzumaki somehow made it easier for him to work with seals.
The tag showed a small projection in front of him, he witnessed everyone being stabbed and incinerated. Not even the fourth or Jiraiya could get away, he did have to thank Ino for a distraction though.
He watched as the projection showed the deaths and incinerations. Destroying the seal, he dispelled, his job was done.
He could finally move on.
The seal that was used was a recording seal that would record the events in a room or radius upon activation and then afterwards play it back for the user or someone else to watch. It was a useful seal but sadly there weren't in production due to how hard it was to even make it.
It also had a onetime use for recording but the playback was endless. As the seal was now destroyed all evidence was gone.
Naruto stayed in the safety of the Uchiha clan for the night but he had to go into hiding as they assumed he might be next. Days passed before Naruto was allowed to go back to the academy. He did attend the funeral however before he went into hiding.
There multiple graves for each person. Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, Naruko Uzumaki, Shikaku Nara, Shikamaru Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka, Ino Yamanaka, Hinata Hyuga, Hiashi Hyuga, Choji Akimichi, Choza Akimichi, Kakashi Hatake, Jiraiya, Sakura Haruno and Kizashi Haruno.
These were the ones who perished, the only surviving clan heirs were Naruto, Sasuke, Kiba and Shino. There were other clans with heirs that survived but the four were the ones that chose not to go to the party.
Naruto and Shino's friendship was a weird one, Naruto and Shino would hang out but Shino didn't go to parties.
During the funeral Naruto did comfort the people there. Mebuki Haruno the mother of Sakura, Yoshino Nara the mother of Shikamaru, Hikari Hyuga the mother of Hinata and Hanabi and lastly Emiko Yamanaka the mother of Ino.
These four were comforted by Naruto, Yoshino cried on his shoulder, Mebuki wept as Naruto held her close, Hikari held Hanabi close as Naruto held her and Emiko despite being a calm and collected individual, broke down in his arms.
Mebuki was sick the day of the party, Yoshino and Emiko decided not to come and chose to spend the night together, Hikari chose to stay at home with Hanabi. After the funeral Tsunade, as his godmother, took him into the Senju compound where he lived with her and Shizune.
He asked what would happen to Hikari and Hanabi as he knew of the clan's cursed seal but sadly Tsunade didn't know so he then proceeded to ask Hikari and Hanabi if they would have liked to stay at the Senju compound in case they decided to place the seal on them.
Happy to say they agreed but they wanted to wait until the cursed seal was certain. Hanabi attached herself to the blonde after a few days and started to kill him nii-san. He also went other to the Akimichi clan and comforted Cho Akimichi, the mother of Choji.
Cho after the funeral headed straight home and never left her room, luckily Naruto managed to get her out of it. He wasn't going to take advantage of their weakened state or walk into their life and instantly becoming their lover. He wasn't like Jiraiya who actually have the nerve and asked Tsunade out on a date on the very same day of Dan's funeral!
He was a monster, a monster with blood soaked hands. He was a murderer, a psychopath, a cold blood killer, a kinslayer. He committed great crimes, the murder of his sister, father and mother. The murder of children around his age, the murder of many adults, many clan heirs and heads killed so easily.
He was a true monster, maybe on par with Orochimaru himself. Did Naruto feel regret? Did he feel guilty over the deaths? No, no he did not.
He held no guilt, no remorse. He was a cold hearted monster. As he said before they chose their side, he never had second thoughts about it. He wondered if the guilt would come rushing in but it never came.
He held no care for the people who perished alongside his family. As he said before he only held compassion for those within his little group, his true family. In the future more would join his family but until then he was contempt with his family as it was.
Now that Naruto was able to go back to the academy, he was currently sitting in a class as their teacher Suzume was teaching the class. Suzume mainly taught females but she did teach a class full of males as well.
Naruto glanced out the window to see the fifth hokage's head being crafted into the monument. Tsunade was vastly stronger than Minato, Tsunade had super strength, medical skills and of course her summons.
Minato whilst being a kage was, in Naruto's opinion, one of the weakest kage. Minato had the Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God) and the Rasengan (Spiralling Sphere) both being taken from someone else, the time-space ninjutsu taken from the second hokage Tobirama Senju and the Rasengan from the Bijudama (Tailed Beast Ball).
The same could be for seals, whilst learning time-space fuinjutsu his sealing techniques were more akin to that of the Uzumaki style of sealing. Hell the Uzumaki clan was the ones responsible for creating the Shiki Fujin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal).
Naruto was happy that Tsunade was hokage and he was happy that she was his official guardian. While he saw Mikoto as a mother he also saw Tsunade as a mother as well and both did a better job than Kushina.
Naruto smiled as he remembered what his new family taught him. Tsunade taught him about iryo ninjutsu and said that one day he could sign the Slug summoning contract. Mikoto showed him motherly love. Itachi helped him with genjutsu while Shisui helped with some kenjutsu and ninjutsu, Yugao and Hayate spent more time with kenjutsu, Kurenai helped with genjutsu while Asuma taught him some wind related ninjutsu.
Guy helped with his Taijutsu, Shizune helped him with poisons, Anko and Ibuki taught him interrogation methods. Fugaku taught him what fathers usually taught their sons, Teuchi and Ayame gave him an occasionally bowl of ramen while teaching him how to cook, Tsume and Hana spent some time teaching him tracking an opponent and finally he trained with Sasuke, Kiba, Shino, Tenten, Neji and Rock Lee regularly.
Now Naruto wasn't the strongest, far from it actually and everyone couldn't help train the blonde all the time. The Uchiha's trained Sasuke more which was understandable, Tsunade and Shizune worked at the hospital, Teuchi and Ayame were civilians and couldn't help him with his ninja training, Tsume was teaching Kiba, Hana was working at the clan's veterinary clinic.
Yugao and Hayate spent some time together and had their jobs as shinobi of the village same as for Kurenai and Asuma. Guy focused more on Lee and his own genin team, Team nine had to put up with Guy's ridiculous training methods (which Lee was the only one who embraced it with open arms) as well as missions. Shino was more of a loner despite Naruto's attempts to bring the Aburame into his family and Shino's father seemed happy for his son to make a friend.
Sasuke and Kiba were being trained by their parents, Anko and Ibuki had their jobs at the T&I department.
The shinobi were all on edge and working overtime due to the sudden death of the kage and clan heads and heirs. The clans had to choose from people from their clan that were suitable for being the clan head.
Shikaku actually had a will that chose his successor until his son was fit or if he and his son had died. They chose Shikaku's younger brother who showed no interest for being clan head similar to what Shikaku did when he was appointed clan head.
Torifu Akimichi came out of retirement and became the clan head, Inoichi's father did the same, the Hyuga's were still deciding whether Hanabi become clan head once old enough or choosing someone else.
Naruto did wonder what would happen to the wives of the clan heads. He was happy that they were able to stay within the compounds. Emiko was able to run the flower shop, Cho was able to run the clan's barbecue restaurant, He didn't know if Mebuki and Yoshino worked but he still gave them all an option to live at the compound.
Speaking about compounds Naruto remembered the other Uzumaki compound. It was less a compound and more of a Mask Storage Temple. Unlike the compound within Konoha the mask temple was on the outskirts of Konoha and he would have to talk with Tsunade about it later.
Maybe he could live there and bring it into Konoha. Using seals to take the whole compound and place it in the spot the first compound was.
Naruto brought his attention back to the class as Suzume taught the class. He had to admit Suzume was a pretty good teacher unlike some of the other teachers who taught the class stuff that didn't help with becoming a shinobi.
When Suzume taught a subject like the founders of Konoha she pointed out both the good points and the bad of each one or when she taught the class about life and death situations, these of course wasn't liked as much by the civilian parents but she held her more serious shinobi classes after school was over (which wasn't very long).
Naruto, Sasuke and Shino stayed as the others left not wanting to go back to school after it had ended. Because the three stayed for the more serious sides of the shinobi lifestyle they became her three favourite students.
Thinking about graduating their sensei would either be Kurenai Yuhi or Asuma Sarutobi and since due to the death of the clan heirs, teams might become 4 man teams. Naruto glanced to his right to see Sasuke looking a little bored dealing with civilian styled teachings at the moment.
Looking around he saw some genin hopefuls from civilian families and most were fangirls over Sasuke or him. Naruto felt a little annoyed when people felt sorry for him when he felt fine, when they asked why he was smiling even after the 'horrible tragedy of Konoha' he replied that his 'family' would didn't want him to sulk in the past and continuing walking into the future.
The truth was his real family didn't die, that was that. He gave a bullshit excuse and he saw his group as his family. "My real family is still alive. Those who died that night weren't my real family" He thought as he rested his head on his hand, he really wanted to say those words to whoever asked.
After the boring class ended Suzume taught the real helpful class that would actually help them as shinobi, the civilians that sent their children to learn were real idiots if they didn't want their children to learn about the real world.
Their children can die but they didn't like that school system so that wanted a change, therefore creating a pathetic excuse of a school. However Suzume made up for it with her real classes held after school hours and it was really helpful.
Since it was always Naruto, Sasuke and Shino their teacher gave some little hints on the genin test for them, Naruto was glad that Suzume taught them these things. Naruto had plans after class and that involved his jutsus and a few ways to get new jutsu.
While he was working on making his own jutsu he did learn jutsu from the Uzumaki clan and the few jutsu Minato and Kushina wrote down for Naruko. Naruto had to scoff at how they only wrote them down for Naruko as they believed her to be the child of prophecy.
An arrogant, self-centred, spoilt girl who threw a tantrum who did get want they wanted or get their way. The list could go on if Naruto really wanted to. Would you want someone like that to become the 'saviour' or 'destroyer' of this world?
Naruto did the world a favour by getting rid of the potential destroyer, someone with that type of attitude didn't deserve to be a saviour, a hero. Hell she didn't even qualify being the world's destroyer.
She was just a spoilt child pretending to be the one who controlled the fate of the world and Minato, Kushina and Jiraiya believed that. A girl like her can never be the child of prophecy.
Did Naruto believe he was the child of prophecy? No, no he did not. He didn't want to destroy the world but he also wasn't going to save it either. He didn't want to be the child of prophecy, that meant his strength wouldn't be real and all his battles he would have won't be from his skill or strength but because it was fate or destiny, he didn't want that.
Naruto was walking along the road towards the Akimichi clan. Once he got there he knocked on the door which was answered by Cho Akimichi.
"Oh Naruto-kun" She said looking at the blonde with a smile, ever since the funeral Naruto had been visiting those who lost love ones helping them recover. Cho liked the blonde's company especially since he was a friend of her son. If only she knew.
"May I come in" Naruto asked as she nodded. Naruto entered the building as Cho closed the door behind her.
"Do you want some tea?" Cho asked as Naruto nodded. Naruto watched as Cho left the room to get the tea, during this time Naruto created a shadow clone.
"You know what to do" Naruto told the clone who nodded and walked out of the room as well. Naruto didn't have to wait long for Cho and the tea.
"How are you feeling?" He asked as he drank the tea, he wasn't a tea person but he did enjoy it.
"A little better" She said and it showed. No longer did she stay locked away in her room for hours on end but now she was slowly recovering.
Many people gave the ones who lost their loved ones so room when in fact they wanted someone to be there for them. A shoulder to cry on, someone to tell them everything would be okay.
This is why they (Cho and the other widows) enjoyed Naruto's company. Besides from one or two people checking on them, Naruto went out of his way to make sure they were fine every day.
They were still depressed over the deaths but Naruto was helping them recover slowly. Naruto and Cho talked for a while before Naruto looked at the clock. "Sorry Akimichi-san but…" Naruto started to speak before getting cut off by Cho.
"Please call me Cho" She said with a smile.
"Okay Cho-chan" Naruto said. "It's getting late. I better get back before Tsunade worries"
"If you want you can stay at the Senju compound or the Uzumaki compound once that gets rebuilt" Naruto told Cho as she nodded.
"I'll keep it in mind Naruto-kun" Cho said.
After saying goodbye and saying that he would visit again, Naruto walked down the path towards the next compound, the Nara clan. Suddenly Naruto's clone dropped down and was holding a scroll. Naruto picked the scroll up and saw it was labelled Akimichi.
"Good work" Naruto told his clone. "Now we are nearing the next one" He said pocketing the scroll away as the clone nodded.
Naruto did the same thing he did at the Akimichi compound and the door was opened by Yoshino. "Afternoon Nara-san" He said.
Yoshino smiled at the blonde. "I thought I told you to call me Yoshino Naruto-kun" She said as he let the blonde in.
"How was your day?" He asked.
"It was fine" She said ad Naruto noticed the tiredness in her eyes.
"You should get some sleep Yoshino-chan"
The widow sighed. "I know but…"
"I understand" Naruto said. "We are sharing the same pain"
Yoshino smiled a little as the blonde asked more about her day and if she was fine. When Naruto was about to leave he told her the same thing he did with Cho about moving out and she seemed to think about it more than Cho.
Naruto left saying goodbye and went to the Yamanaka clan and talked with Emiko, Emiko seemed calm and collected but Naruto knew this was just a front. On the inside Emiko was weeping, putting on a façade to hide her real feelings.
He was invited in and they talked and Naruto told her about staying at the compounds, one already there and the other being built or moved. Next he went to the Haruno residence located in the civilian district away from the clan districts.
Naruto was worried about Mebuki the most, he hated Sakura but Mebuki was nice to him whenever they met. Naruto found out that Mebuki didn't work and it caused him to worry. Mebuki let him in and just like the other three talked and gave the offer.
"A-are you sure Naruto-kun?" Mebuki asked as Naruto nodded.
"I'm sure Mebuki-chan" Naruto said. "I'm worried about you"
Naruto saw a tiny blush on her face as she heard those words. When Mebuki married Kizashi and had Sakura, Kizashi turned out to be an idiot, a real idiot. Before they got married he showed Mebuki love but when they got married it started to go down from there, having Sakura made the relationship go back but it didn't last long.
Mebuki knew she married an idiot, an idiot that was goofy but was too dense to show his wife some affection every now and then. Over the years Kizashi thought the marriage was fine but Mebuki began to love Kizashi less and less, sure she really cared for him when he died but if he didn't she was actually thinking of getting divorced.
"It's up to you Mebuki-chan" The blonde said.
"I…I want to" She said. "But I can't right now"
"How are you going to afford living here?" He asked.
"I'm going to get a job" She said.
"And if you can't?"
"Then I'll take you up on your offer" She said. "And Naruto-kun, what do you mean by the Uzumaki compound, it's destroyed"
"You see Mebuki-chan there is an Uzumaki mask storage temple on the outskirts of Konoha" He told her. "I'm planning to bring it into Konoha with the use of seals"
"What about the Senju compound? The only people that live in it are Tsunade-sama, Shizune and you" Mebuki listed off the three people who lived there. "The compound is one of the largest in Konoha but would Tsunade really let me live there?"
Naruto didn't really think about that. "If I play my cards right then it should be fine" He thought. "I'll talk to her about it, besides its very lonely there and needs more people in it"
"I suppose so" Mebuki said as Naruto would be at the compound alone due to Tsunade working both as Hokage and running the hospital and Shizune being her assistant especially to stop her from drinking sake.
According to Naruto, Tsunade drank sake when on Hokage shift, she didn't do it all the time but she did drink it occasionally.
Naruto stood up. "I'll see you tomorrow Mebuki-chan" Naruto said as he left and Mebuki smiled as the blonde left.
The blonde with no whiskers walked back towards the Senju compound as his clone landed next to him and gave him two more scrolls before dispelling. One was labelled Nara and the other was labelled Yamanaka.
These three scrolls head jutsu from the Akimichi, Nara and Yamanaka clans. There were four ways to get these jutsu, first was to copy with the sharingan, the second was to marry into the clan, the third was to be born into the clan and the last one was to steal the jutsu from the clan.
You may be thinking that Naruto used Emiko, Cho and Yoshino to get into the clan and steal said jutsu but that wasn't the case at all. If by chance he married into the clan he would be able to learn their jutsus, out of the three only Emiko wasn't a shinobi.
Yoshino was a shinobi that married Shikaku and Cho was a member of the Akimichi clan that married Choza. Naruto truly cared for the women.
The idea to take the jutsu from the clans only came recently when he was reading the Uzumaki clan's jutsu and abilities. Naruto wasn't going to learn any of the jutsu from them now but maybe after he somehow ends up marrying on the three.
Sure he was going to take a look and see how they work but he wasn't going to use them. He was going to ask Emiko, Yoshino and Cho if he could use them and since they haven't been in active shinobi in years he will give them these for them to learn and maybe help Emiko learn the Yamanaka clan jutsu despite her being a civilian.
Sure he stole the jutsu, sure he did it when he was with the people he came to care for but he was doing this for good reasons and yet also selfish ones.
Naruto returned home to the Senju compound and opened his draw and placed chakra into a small seal to make three scrolls appear with the labels Hyuga, Uchiha and Inuzuka. He sealed them away along with the three other scrolls.
He obtained the Hyuga and Inuzuka jutsu when visiting the clans and he had access to the Uchiha library but he couldn't get access to all the jutsu but thanks to his clones he did. He had full access to the Senju jutsu library even the few with Mokuton jutsu.
He wasn't going to go after the other clan's jutsus as he had enough. He was going to hold onto these in case of another potential massacre or getting stolen and destroyed. Naruto being the last Uzumaki (at least in Konoha) he knew that clan jutsus were important to the clans.
He was just going to hold them safely and maybe look over them and see how they worked. If he used a clan jutsu without permission from the clan, marrying into the clan or being born into the clan, it would cause a lot of problems in the long run.
In the same draw on the opposite side was another seal, it contained his clan's jutsu he got when Kushina brought them over from Uzushiogakure. Apparently Uzushiogakure foresaw their fate as they knew how powerful their seals were and gave Kushina the whole clan's jutsu library, sure there were other Uzumaki's out there but Kushina was moving to Konoha and that gave them the perfect opportunity to move their jutsu and ensure its safety.
Many people who searched Uzushiogakure (who could actually make it to the island) were very disappointed that nothing of worth was left. Naruto also copied the Senju library and put in the same seal as the Uzumaki scroll.
Some and many techniques were considered useless to him like the jutsu's requiring the Byakugan and the Sharingan.
Naruto read through his clan's techniques and a majority of it was mainly seals like the Dead Demon Consuming Seal and a many other seals, there was also techniques such as the Kongo Fusa (Adamantine Sealing Chains) and the ability to bite and consume a Uzumaki's chakra to heal injuries of others and themselves.
He didn't want people to bite into his skin and leave marks that never disappear. That would suck, having a permanent reminder of someone biting you. Naruto sat on his bed looking at the clock in his room.
Tsunade and Shizune would be arriving late tonight. He was looking forward for the next few days, Graduation day was coming up and soon he would become a shinobi. He went to make dinner and leave Tsunade and Shizune's meals for them when they got home.
He had moved on without any regrets and he felt good.
This idea just popped into in my head with 'what if it starts somewhat a neglect fic but with Naruto with him killing his family early' and this happened. This was the longest chapter I have written and I wonder what will happen if they find out Naruto was the one responsible?
A bit of plot, character introduction, potential harem members (yes he will have a harem), the deaths, widows and his new family will play important roles.
