To those who reviewed the last chapter(s), I thank you for the feedback and value it highly. I will try and comment on them each new chapter so look for them.

1: I might make some crossovers, I will look into it. Thanks for the suggestions but I would lean more towards RWBY, SAO, Fairy Tail, or Baby Hitman: Reborn. Ones that I know more about the actual show as I ain't big on Bleach and got way behind on One Piece.

2: My grammar and wording may not be the best but it could be worse.

3: For those who thought he is TOO overpowered… pffft. Never. He is only going to get stronger. That is the main goal of every form of Naruto. To be stronger. To be able to reach his goal no matter what that goal is.

4: I have fixed it so that the chapters are as long as originally intended but that resulted in less chapters… I hope everyone can manage.

5: Thank you for the appreciation on character interactions, I try to add bonds through experiences. I want Naruto to have memories with as many people so that his life is better.

For those who have stuck through chapter 1-4 (parts 1-4) then the Chapter 1 fix update. I am happy to announce Chapter 2. Enjoy!

I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ANYTHING OF THE OF THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT.

This is my first FanFiction and hope you all enjoy. Thanks!

Chapter 2: Welcome Home

- Namikaze-Uzumaki Compound -

The party of six, consisting of the four ANBU, the young jinchūriki, and their Hokage, were making their way through the clan district of Konoha. They finally arrived at the Namikaze-Uzumaki Compound where a big, heavy iron gate with a tri-point kunai over a whirlpool swirl that sealed it greeted them. "Ok Naruto. Quick lesson on Fuinjutsu, this is a blood seal. You can't see it unless it is activated. They are one of the highest grade of seals for security locks. It requires usually the either the blood of a clan, or those who are imprinted into the seal. In this case it was imprinted blood signatures but due to the main samples being your parents, it will recognize you as their son and add you to the seal. Just prick your finger, swipe it over the seal, then place your hand over it, and finally push your chakra into it. The gate will then open." lectured Sarutobi as he gestured at the Tri-Kunai and Whirlpool Swirl emblem on the gate.

"Ok. Prick, swipe, press, then chakra. Got it." Naruto said before slicing his thumb on his sharper than usual canine then swiping the blood on the seal. He proceeded to finish it by pressing his hand against the blood smear and pushing chakra into the seal. The seal appeared, being very intricately drawn, and started to glow bright. The seal then started to draw more chakra from Naruto, stopping him from removing his hand, before returning it all back and flashing red twice then green. It clicked and opened by itself without a sound, the hinges being surprisingly well oiled even after all these years. He rubs his hand before looking at his Jiji. "I guess we can go in now." He starts forwards into his compound, the others following behind him while he explores.

As Naruto made his way up the main path to the front door, he gazed about. The yard was in pristine conditions. The grass had no weeds and was no taller than a couple of inches, as if it was freshly cut. The garden had an abundance of vegetables and fruit that was ripe for the picking and looked well cared for even though no one had stepped foot in the compound in years. The house was a small mansion that was externally clean and looked to need no repairs. There also was enough property to start building for a small clan. There was a tool shed near the garden, a forge and a building for smithing, an outdoors training grounds, and what looked like a large dojo next to the training grounds.

The front doors were large, solid mahogany with intricate wood work and carvings of foxes running in a forest with dragons flying over the treetops. The doorknobs were what seemed to be emerald, or at least crystals that had an emerald green color to them. Naruto shakily turned the knobs as if they would break and his dream would send him back to reality. With a twist and a gently push, the door on the right opened without a sound.

The hallway was the work of a master craftsman and decorated with such love that it could be felt with a single glance. There was a living room to the left after five feet of hall. There were two couches with a round oak coffee table between them. They faced each other with four recliners. One on each end of both couches. A large stone fireplace sat against the wall, and two side-by-side bay windows with bench seats were found on the front of the house behind one of the couches by about ten feet.

From the living room you could enter the dining area through double sliding doors. The table was also mahogany and could fit roughly twelve people. A chandelier hung above the table for the later hours, while a single bay window, on the same side as the fireplace, in the room was the source of light during the day. You could then go through a second set of double sliding doors to return to the hallway.

As one comes out of the dining area the first thing to be seen is a staircase and another hall to the right of the stairs. To their left would be the kitchen. Down the hall the party found a study on the left and the rest of the east wing on the main floor was a huge library through a door on their right, which was comparable with the village library.

Up the stairs, Naruto was amazed by how many rooms there were. Each already furnished, only two of them were styled different. They were both at the end of the of the east wing, above the library, and across from one another. The door on the left was the master bedroom and was at least twice the size of all the others. It had a canopy top, king size bed that was made of mahogany, with a large bathroom and two large closets. The left closet had male clothes, for his father, and the right had clothing that would be of his mother.

Each of the other bedrooms were average and bleak with a queen bed, dresser, a decent bathroom, and one bay window. The room across from the master nearly stopped Naruto's heart. It was to be his room. It had a cherry and mahogany wood crib on the left wall with a matching dresser on the right wall. There was a rocking chair of matching wood next to the crib and a bay window on the wall across from the door. To the left of the crib was a door to the closet and there was a bookshelf on the wall opposite the window. Behind the crib was a mural of the same scene as that of the front door but there were also toads or frogs in this one and was in color, and in the crib were a dragon, fox, and toad stuffed animal. Next to the dresser was a toy chest filled to the brim with brand new toys and stuffed animals, above the window was a banner that read 'Welcome Home Naruto'. As soon as he read the banner he fell to his knees and cried openly without restraint. "They had loved me, they had actually loved me" he thought as he let all his loneliness, pain, and sorrow out.

The Hokage watched the seen and felt his heart break once again. Even he hadn't seen this room till now. Kushina kept everyone out, having done the whole room by herself. Even Minato had no say on the baby room, it was Kushina's welcome home gift to Naruto… even if she never meant for it to be like this.

Once the Kyūbi host was able to stand again, he turned towards his surrogate grandfather. His eyes had long since dried up and he was now ready to to explore the rest of his home. The next stop was the kitchen then the backyard. "Naruto, your parents loved you with every last 6× bit they could ever muster. Your mother did this room by herself. She didn't let anyone in or even help her with it, not even your father." spoke the old man. Naruto smiled and nodded, "Thanks Kaa-chan. I love it and won't change it. It will be of use one day, that way your work wouldn't have been for nothing. I promise." thought Naruto to his mother before turning to his first precious person, "Say Jiji, I haven't seen an armory anywhere but yet there is a forge. How can that be?" questioned the young genius. "That would be because the door to the basement, which holds the armory and the clan vault-treasury, is found at the back of the library. It is meant only to be used and accessed by m those either a part of the clan, or those trusted enough. Why don't you check them out after I teach you the Shadow Clone Technique? That way you can eat and rest while they explore more."

Naruto smiled and nodded, "That sounds like a good idea Jiji. Let's finish the main floor then." was his last words as he headed back down the stairs before turning right into the kitchen.

The kitchen was huge. It had four ovens, stacked in a square on one wall, with a long stovetop next to the ovens. Then there was a large center island, with two double basin sinks. There was a sink on both of the long ends, with a built in wood cutting board on their lefts, a drying rack on their rights, and a dishwasher under both drying racks. The countertops were a beautiful marble, there were appliances for every occasion on them with plenty of space left over for prep work. There was no pantry, though there were two huge side by side double fridges that had a small pull out drawer under the double doors and two huge deep freezers that could hold a couple whole pigs in each. Taking a step towards the fridge door, Naruto opened one of the fridges to find it fully stocked and everything was still edible. He took a green apple he saw and bit into it. It was fresh and still as juicy as it would have been if it were just picked. He hadn't had a fresh apple in years. It was delightful.

Next he checked the cabinets. Most held cookware, but a few of the last had labeled seals that held non-refrigerated goods. Cans, bags, boxes, didn't matter the container it was stored in a seal. One said candy, Naruto placed his hand on the seal and thought of chocolate covered marshmallow that he had seen and heard about. Without smoke, out popped five in pristine conditions. He tried them as well and was marveled at their taste and the fact that they were nearly ten years old or more and were still good.

"It's all the seals." Naruto jumped and turned to find the old kage watching him with a soft smile while puffing on his pipe.

"What do you mean?" questioned Naruto.

"Well, your parents were seal masters. I believe they said that these were a combination of storage seals with a statis seal to keep them good no matter the time stored. Then there was something about two seals allowing control over the removal of the items and one for allowing sub-storage space to be linked to the main seal array. Which, with my limited knowledge of fuinjutsu, I can sum it up to being that no food in the pantry expires while having near limitless storage, and the fact that you can summon whatever is in there in any quantity at a time." Answered the elderly man.

Naruto was stunned, if that seals did that, then they must be the reason for all the other household maintenance. "Jiji, are seals also the reason that the house is so clean, the yard and gardens are so well kept, and the fridge and freezers are still fresh?"

The hokage thought for a moment before replying. "I do believe that would be the case, with how busy your parents were even before your father became Hokage, they wouldn't have had the time to clean and such. So, they relied on the marvels of the sealing arts to do it all for them."

After all this Naruto decided he would be a seal master like his parents, if not even better. He thought about all of the ninja arts then about things that civilians knew that allowed them to assist ninjas. Smithing, cooking, and tailoring were the main three. He would also become proficient at these as well. He decided to finish the tour and check out the backyard.

The backyard had a huge pool, a stoned in barbecue, a fire place, three tables with chairs and an umbrella each. Then there was a couple more training grounds past the pool. About a five minute then to the grounds, then after those there were trees that went on till the mountain. He'll send some clones to explore all that while the others checked the basement. Near the side of the house where the garden was, there was a large orchard with many kinds of trees. Next to that was a greenhouse with plants and herbs. To the left side of the pool behind the west wing was a shed, most likely with pool supplies.

Naruto turned to the rest of the party. "Well Jiji, how about that jutsu now?" he said with an eager smile.

The old kage chuckled as he nodded his head. "Of course Naruto, we can get started now on it."

"Yes! New jutsu!" Naruto said while dancing in excitement.

The others just chuckled at his actions. Hiruzen stepped towards Naruto to get started. "Ok Naruto, first you want to make the one hand sign that the jutsu requires" he said while making the cross sign with his index, "then you want to shape your chakra like you would for the normal bunshin jutsu. Just pump a lot more chakra into it, Shadow Clone Jutsu!" a second Hiruzen popped up next to the first in a cloud of smoke. "Now you try Naruto."

Naruto nodded and focused his chakra while doing the hand sign. Couldn't get it to work at first but then there was a cloud of smoke as he yelled, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Everyone stared at the single cloud as it dissipated… Only to find an empty spot. This only fueled Naruto to continue till he got it correct.

- 1 hour and 23 minutes later,

Naruto's 30th attempt -

Naruto stood there, a fire blazing in his eyes, he threw his hand up into the hand sign for the jutsu. Out of frustration, he pushed as much chakra as possible into the jutsu instead of trying to control the output. What happened shocked everyone. The backyard was filled all the way to the forest with a huge cloud of smoke. When it finally cleared, the kage's pipe fell once more. There in front of everyone, was at least five thousand Narutos… and the original wasn't even panting or sweating from the ordeal. He just jumped and cheered with hot at his successful try.

"Good job Naruto, outstanding! You made so many and yet you aren't even winded." stated the shocked kage who thought he had seen it all.

"What do you mean Jiji? Isn't everyone able to make this many?" Asked the curious boy.

Hiruzen shook his head then replied, "Definitely not Naruto. Even in my prime I was only able to make ten clones before becoming tired. You just made five hundred times my limit back then, and you're not even tired!" exclaimed the shocked kage.

Naruto was wide eyed before smiling. "Well then, I guess you might as well hand over the hat now Jiji. Haha!" He gave the old leader a good guy pose which actually scared Hiruzen. The thought of Naruto becoming a Might Guy copy drained the color from his face before he shook his head and regained his posture. "Well Naruto, that won't be for quite some time." he joked.

"Well, thanks Jiji. This is a pretty useful technique for taijutsu attacks and overwhelming my opponents." Naruto said while dispelling his clones, nodding sage like while doing it. The whole backyard filled with smoke again. "Also a decent smoke screen."

"The Shadow Clone Technique is far more useful than that. It has a very special ability to it that no one before you could have abused to such levels as you might be able to. Make one clone and have it follow mine." The Kage of Konoha said while making the sign. "Shadow Clone Technique" Naruto nodded and copied him, his clone then following The Professor to the woods.

A minute after walking into the woods Naruto blinked owlishly. "What do you mean that I have to wait a year to enter the Academy?" Asked Naruto.

"I have been quite Naruto, I didn't say anything." Smirked Hiruzen.

"Yes you did, we walked into the woods then… oh… OH! That's cool. So I retain whatever my clones gain in the mental sense. So I can learn everything through clones but will have to work my body physically. That is way better then forming an temporary, delicate army." his mind was a rush with uses. Then a thought popped in his head. "Why isn't Jiji using them for his paperwork. He probably hasn't thought of it before. Hmmm… should I tell him now, or use it later for blackmail." Naruto pondered the idea for a minute. "Well, he is making me wait before even entering the academy. It has been decided, I will use it later." was Naruto's conclusion. "Very devious Naruto, I like it. You are as cunning as my kin." said Kura to Naruto. "Thanks Kura."

Naruto threw his hands into the cross before making one hundred clones. "You guys know what to do. Twenty-five of you check out the library, another twenty-five to the basement, ten of the remaining fifty take inventory of the fridge and pantries. Twenty check out the forge, garden, orchards, and greenhouse, that is five at each. Ten clean out mom and dad's clothes and box them up while the other ten check out the study." As they left, he made another one-thousand clones. "I want one hundred working on chakra controls, then I want the other nine-hundred of you all to split into groups of fifty and start working on our blood lines."

He made one final clone then dispelled it. This proved his theory that a dispelled clone shares its memories with each clone as well as the original. That clone had relayed the order to have one clone from each group to dispel every hour so that he could process all their information.

"Hey Jiji, how about we go get some ramen from Ichiraku's?" Naruto asked as a clone walked up from the basement and handed him a small wad of bills, it was at least 50,000 ryō, "I'm buying this time gramps." Hiruzen chuckled before sweeping his arm towards the front gate, "Sure thing Naruto. After you." they laughed as they walked.

- Ichiraku's Ramen Stand

10 Minutes Later -

Naruto and Lord Third arrived at Ichiraku's with the four Anbu watching on the roof tops. "Hey old man! I need two of the usuals for me and whatever Hokage-Jiji wants!" the young boy exclaimed as he entered the stand. "I'll have a large bowl of shrimp Teuchi, it has been a long day." Out of the back came a man in his thirties, he wore an apron and a white cooking hat to keep his hair from falling into the food. This man was Teuchi Ichiraku, owner and sole cook of Ichiraku's Ramen.

"Good evening Naruto. You're here later than usual. Lord Third, a good evening to you as well. I have a feeling him being late for dinner has to do with you being with him?" spoke the middle aged man with a joyful tone.

"Well in a way Teuchi, yes I am the reason for young Naruto being here late. The only thing is no we can't say why and any questions you have by the end of our meal can't be answered by us." The Kage said seriously and solemnly.

The cook nodded, know about Naruto and how hard his life was. "I understand"

"Daddy! Shouldn't I take their orders so you can cook." Asked a young girl as she came out of the back with brown hair and brown eyes.

Teuchi chuckled, "Hai Hai Ayame. Go ahead and retake their orders then come tell me them. Naruto, Sandaime this is my daughter Ayame. She will be taking orders for me now that she is Twelve." Spoke the cook as he returned to the back.

"Hokage-sama and Naruto-san, What will it be?" Ayame asked while holding a pen and pad. She looked very proud and happy to be taking the orders.

"I will have two of my usual. Your dad already knows my usual but I will tell you it so you can learn it. One of my usuals is two large pork, one large beef, and one large shrimp. So, I will need double that tonight. " the seven year old Naruto said kindly and with a sense of maturity that very few people barely see.

Ayame was surprised by the amount, "So… So you want four large porks, two large beefs, and two large shrimps… just for yourself?!"

Naruto nodded, "That is correct Ayame. Though I want to have a word with your dad once he has ours made." Naruto said, a spark of uncertainty in his eyes that only the Kage caught sight of.

Ayame nodded and wrote it all down before looking at the elder Sarutobi, "What was your order Lord Hokage sir?" asked the young girl.

The kage smiled, "Two shrimps please. Also, Hokage is just fine or Sandaime." the girl nodded in acknowledgement while writing. "Hai, I will remember that Hokage-sama." She headed into the back and relayed the order and message to get father. Five minutes later they both came out all of the food and Teuchi went to Naruto.

"Yeah Naruto ?" Teuchi asked curiously.

"Old Man, can you teach me how to cook. Not ramen, but other food too? I will be cutting back on ramen as of tomorrow and need two favors from you. The first being the lessons in cooking, the second being if you could make a special menu of other foods that are healthier and have more of what a growing ninja needs to eat so that I can still eat here?" Naruto asked with his eyes closed and facing the countertop, in the fashion of a makeshift bow.

Everyone was shocked, "Naruto… Of course my boy. I will be more then happy to help. I'll even come up with some healthy ramens variants that get the same benefits of meals with the goodness of ramen. That way you don't miss out on ramen but still get your nutrients at the same time." Teuchi responded, more then happy to help Naruto grow.

Naruto looked up with a lone tear and a smile, "Arigatou Teuchi. I didn't want to go to other food establishments when I had you two but at the same time I need to grow strong which requires a balanced diet." Naruto thanked before digging into his ramen.

Everyone laughed at how Naruto went from begging and somber to excited and eating like he was starving. The Kage joined him while the Ichirakus returned to the back of the stand. While eating, a few of the Naruto received the memories of the first two dispersal groups. He died at the base knowledge.
