Chapter 3: The Uzumakis of Rapture
-SR-
Kyuumi smiled and says "Nice to meet you, you may not know this but, I am your mother's sister and your aunt"
Naruto fell to his knees and shouted "WHAT"
Kyuumi smiled again at his reaction and commented "Now I know this might be hard to believe but, I am your aunt, Naruto"
Naruto looked up at her and asked "How?"
Kyuumi stopped smiling, shrugged and replied "How what? How did I know your name? Rapture's systems told me of your arrival as did my brother and sister-in-law who you saw out the Bathysphere when you arrived and of your name. How did I know you were my Nephew? Again Rapture's systems notified me of the genetic correlation between me and you. and finally how are we here and why didn't we come for you? That one's a bit harder"
Kyuumi stopped talking and walked towards Naruto, she dropped to one knee right in front of him and hugged him gently (although it couldn't be felt through the armor) before she let go and stood up, she walked back to the table and sat on it "22 years ago during the Second Great Shinobi War, our home village of Uzushiogakure was destroyed by the combined forces of Kumo, Iwa and a half a dozen minor hidden villages. During the battle your mother, my sister Kushina was in Konoha where she was succeeding Mito Uzumaki as the Uzumaki representative in Konoha"
Naruto and Hinata nodded softly.
"The battle was fierce and our traps alone wiped out half the enemy forces, for the Uzumaki clan is known for its Fūinjutsu and unique seals as well as our great Chakra reserves and long lives. Our forces numbered about 12000 Shinobi and 23000 Civilians at the time when we escaped to our secret bunker under the ocean, even though we were a minor village our clan was one of the largest as was our village, the only difference between us and the Major villages was that we hid most of our power and pretended to be weak"
This made sense to the two Konohian Shinobi.
"While in the bunker we hit a switch and the bunker started moving. The bunker was in fact an ancient Submarine, a vessel capable of moving underwater with people safely aboard. The bunker returned to the place it had come from, Rapture the place where our ancestors were born and where our clan started. At this point a powerful man known as Orochimaru Akagi was wandering the city having killed the Splicers and pacified the city making it safe for us to live here"
Naruto and Hinata easily noticed the hint of reverence in Kyuumi's voice when she spoke of Orochimaru.
"He warned us of his descent into madness and showed us how to safely use the city's resources. Orochimaru then created this place and returned to the surface. We turned ourselves into Big Daddies and Big Sisters to maintain and protect this place, next to the ancient ones that have been repairing and maintaining this city of madness for untold millennia. That young one is the truth of what happened to the Uzumaki clan, but know this if it was in our power we would have come for you years ago and brought you back here to be among your family. The only question is... are you going to grant Orochimaru-sama his last request?"
Naruto looked at Kyuumi with tears and determination in his eyes and said "Yes, not only will it help me become Hokage, but for him to be trapped within himself screaming as his insane mind does things. It is far worse then what I had to live through, much more horrifying and lonesome. But would you please introduce me to the rest of the clan?"
Kyuumi smiled brightly for a moment and Hinata hugged Naruto from behind crying at the story they had just been told. Kyuumi smiled once more at the scene before she replied "Of course Naruto, it wouldn't do for the Clan Heir to be ignorant of his clan"
Naruto in the midst of standing up stopped and says "What, how can I be clan heir?"
Kyuumi sighed and answers with "Because your mother as the eldest sibling was clan heir and as her son you are therefore clan heir by our clan laws, also you need to meet with your grandfather. Our Clan Leader"
Kyuumi got up off the table then drops her head onto her left hand and she said "I almost forgot, Orochimaru-sama's message was incomplete, There is one more thing you should know... please follow me"
Kyuumi lead Naruto and Hinata to the Plasmid and Tonic Creation laboratory in the Terminus and when they enter there are two strange bottles with a glowing red liquid in them, one has a lightning bolt on it and the other has the words 'Save Them' written on it. Naruto and Hinata pick up the note and read it.
'It is with great sorrow that I write this, I have become aware of just how much I have done under the influence of madness, In order to further it's sadistic and scientific nature my 'madness' has taken control of my body and gone to the surface, kidnapped several girls, maybe as many as fifteen and implanted ADAM slugs within them and placed a powerful Genjutsu upon them to hide this fact.
The majority of these girls are from Konoha but several are from other villages and to my great sorrow one is the Fire Daimyo's granddaughter. These two Plasmids will help you, the one with the spark on it is Electro Bolt a basic Plasmid but one that I'm sure you'll need. The other one is unnamed but by looking back through the records I've discovered the perfect name for it, 'Tenenbaum's Hope' it was created by the same person who created the Little Sisters a sort of repentance for their actions.
Its purpose is to detect and safely remove the ADAM slug from the unwilling volunteers, this will give you whatever Plasmids and tonics their body has created from the presence of ADAM within it. If you save the girl she will gain these abilities rather than them remain dormant within their systems for the rest of their life.
If you so choose to you can instead just kill them and remove the ADAM slug manually gaining more ADAM from their bodies, but you would have to be a monster to do this. I hope you make the right choice, as I failed to do – Orochimaru' beneath that were the instructions on how to inject Plasmids into your body, Naruto and Hinata already knew how to do that though due to the information from the armament station.
Naruto stepped up and injected the Electro Bolt Plasmid into himself, he falls to the ground as the energy courses through his body and lets out a roar of pain before the feeling subsides, he handed the Plasmid to Hinata and then picked up and injected 'Tenenbaum's Hope' into himself, there is no pain but instead a sense of purpose Naruto realizes that he can hear Hinata's cry of pain from her injecting the Electro Bolt Plasmid but he can't sense the ADAM slug. Naruto then realizes that the Plasmid can differentiate between a willing and unwilling volunteer for implantation. Hinata stood up and placed the Electro Bolt Plasmid on the Table and took the 'Tenenbaum's Hope' Plasmid from Naruto's hands before injecting it into herself. They nodded to each other and looked to Kyuumi who smiled at them and said "Come on, it's time you two meet the rest of the Uzumaki. Now that you have both found your resolve that is"
Naruto and Hinata followed Kyuumi through the city, as they walk through its corridors they realized that they knew the entire layout of the city and could easily navigate it blindfolded.
They soon came to a Bathysphere station and took it from the Entrance Hall to the Adonis Resort.
-SR-
Rapture – Adonis Resort.
Adonis Resort had once been the luxury accommodations of Rapture, now however it was the headquarters of the Uzumaki Clan, everywhere you looked there was a red-head making repairs or doing paperwork or playing around with explosive tags...
Yeah, everyone was keeping a fair distance from the group playing with explosive tags.
Every red-head stopped and waved as the trio made their way through the lobby of the Adonis Resorts main hotel. In the middle of the back of the Lobby was a large pair of double doors.
Beyond the doors (which were opened wide) a somewhat elderly red-headed man could be seen working on paperwork while a similarly elderly red-headed woman could be seen standing guard.
"Kaa-san, Tou-san, I've arrived with Naruto-kun and Hinata-chan" Kyuumi announced as she walked through the doors.
The elderly Uzumaki quickly looked up at the trio.
Naruto shyly waved at the duo while Hinata looked at them from over Naruto's shoulder.
In a blink the duo had shifted from behind their desk and were right in front of Naruto and Hinata.
The two stepped back a bit in surprise, they hadn't expected the elderly duo to be able to move that fast.
Hinata frowned slightly behind her helmet 'Actually, now that they're closer, they don't look all that old, maybe forty-five to fifty. They look younger then Hokage-Sama, yet they have to be as old if not older'
Hinata was yet to discover that Uzumaki (and their lovers and partners from outside the clan for some reason) had extremely long life spans and even remained youthful looking well into their hundreds often only starting to age as they approached nearly two hundred before passing away around three hundred.
However this seemed to be balanced by the fact that the women were less fertile and had periods on a yearly cycle rather then a monthly cycle, compounded with the fact that they only started having periods at eighteen years old.
It was one of the things that Kushina loved to brag to the other Kunoichi about, to their eternal jealousy.
Naruto's grandfather smiled widely "Naruto-kun, it's good to meet you. I hoped that I would get to meet Kushina's children. Tell me how is your mother?"
Naruto sighed almost inaudibly "She... she passed away, when I was born. I, I never knew her"
Grandfather Uzumaki's face went dark "Oh, oh my dear Kushina-chan" He seemed to sob gently, while his wife (or bodyguard/lover) comforted him.
However he quickly seemed to recover and while looking at Naruto smiled softly "As sad as I am about Kushina-chan, I know that the only reason she would have passed on was to protect you. I'm glad that you're here none the less. Despite the sadness that I've gained... I've also got to see you, my Grandson" here he paused for a moment to lock Kyuumi in place with a dark stare "Which is something my other children seem to consider unimportant"
Kyuumi swallowed loudly and stammered out quick excuses about not find the right man and other obviously fake excuses.
Grandfather stared at her for a moment before he stated "If you keep this up, I'll be forced to engage you to someone else" His eye gained a glint here "Perhaps Naruto-kun here!"
Naruto choked in surprise.
Kyuumi blushed and stammered, completely dumbstruck.
Hinata glared from behind her helmet at the old man.
The man's wife smirked at their reactions "Yes, Kenichi-kun that seems like a good idea indeed"
The now identified Kenichi looked at his wife "Hana-chan, I'm glad to know you approve" after all if she didn't he'd have to find another idea, it was incredibly dumb to anger an Uzumaki Woman... especially your wife.
Kenichi Uzumaki snickered slightly at the look on Kyuumi's face, and the ones he assumed were on the faces of the two masked Konohian Shinobi.
"Now, tell me of what has happened since the end of the war"
-SR-
First off, no this is not the beginning of an Incestuous relationship... yet.
Kenichi Uzumaki is only making a joke and is not being serious.
However depending on how all you, my loyal readers, react I may make it an official pairing.
Please Review.
