Author’s Note – I’m really happy that everyone is enjoying this story. I am plotting ideas for who the Destined Ones of the other jinchuriki are. Nothing too concrete yet but it’s getting there. I do appreciate the amazing reviews and kudos from my readers as well as the patience all of you have shown. Health is a problem that I am trying so very hard to overcome.
Here is the next installment, and I hope everyone enjoys it!Disclaimer – I do not own Naruto and don’t make any money from this story, but I have a blast playing with the characters!Chapter Three – ExplanationsThe Hokage’s office was just as Zabuza had pictured it, but he didn’t have much of an opportunity to examine the room. As the distance between Haku and Naruto had grown during their journey to the office, it became apparent that his son was becoming more and more uncomfortable. He had a suspicion as to why that was, which quickly became fact when he set his child down after Naruto was laid on a small couch in the office. The discomfort on both boys’ faces was noticed by all and the ease of the discomfort when Haku joined the blond on the couch was also observed.The Hokage had witnessed the same behaviors from the boys after the display of the chakra auras earlier and had his own suspicions as to what was going on. He sent one of his Anbu to retrieve the Hyuuga clan head, knowing the unique vision of the man would be able to determine if his suspicions were indeed correct.“You will have to forgive me for not greeting you properly but as this concerns one of my citizens, I must ensure that his health is not at risk by what happened between the two boys.”Zabuza nodded, understanding what the Hokage was telling him. He wanted to make sure that Haku wouldn’t be harmed by that display of chakra either. Even though the swordsman knew the two kids belonged together, he was worried because both were young and their chakra systems were still developing. There was no telling what this had done to them.“I understand completely and as my son was involved with it, I agree with having someone check both of them out. I am Momochi Zabuza, and my son is named Momochi Haku.”“I am Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage,” he said, brushing hair out of Naruto’s eyes with a fond expression on his face before going to sit behind his desk. “The little scamp with your son is Uzumaki Naruto.”“It is a pleasure to meet you,” he greeted with a small bow. Before either of them could say a word, there was a knock on the door and a long haired male entered the room, bowing in greeting.“You sent for me, Hokage-sama,” the newcomer asked.“Thank you for arriving so promptly, Hiashi-san,” the leader said to the clan head. “I’m afraid there was an incident concerning Naruto and this young lad. I need you to check their coils and ensure that everything is all right as well as give us an idea what happened out there.”Sarutobi briefly described what they had seen before gesturing to Zabuza.“This is the boy’s father, Momochi Zabuza. Momochi-san, this is Hyuuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuuga clan,” he introduced the two.“Thank you for your assistance today, Hyuuga-sama,” the swordsman told the other as he gave the man a polite bow. “I hope the boys were not harmed by what happened.”“Let me take a look, and we’ll see what’s going on,” the pale eyed male said to the ones in the room. He turned to where the two boys were and activated his Byakugan. The scan of the pair continued for several long minutes before the bloodline gift was deactivated, and the man turned back to the waiting men.“I have not seen this before but have heard of it enough to recognize it when I see it,” he said, taking a seat when gestured to do so by the Hokage. “Have you heard of chakra bonding?”Sarutobi frowned, watching as Zabuza sat down as well. The term was familiar, and it took a few moments before the explanation came forward in his memory.“That’s usually something that happens between true mates,” he said, loading his pipe as he did so. “I always thought it was a romanticized thing for shinobis to wish for, but I ran into it years back. It’s rare, incredibly rare, but when it happens, it makes the pair a formidable team. There hasn’t been a chakra bonded pair in Konoha since Hatake Sakumo and his wife.”“I am not as familiar with the term as you are,” Zabuza said, frowning a bit. “What does it mean?”“Soulmates are a genuine thing, but it’s rare to find. When soulmates have the ability to tap into their chakra and then share a touch of kindness and affection, it bonds their chakra together. There’s a lot of advantages to it but disadvantages as well.”“Such as,” he asked, flashing a look to Haku. The child was listening as well but had moved Naruto’s head into his lap. It was an adorable sight, and he forced his attention back on the Hokage.“If one has issues with chakra control, the chakra of the mate is able to help soothe and still the chakra enough to push the control issues until the first mate has trained the problems out. Shared elemental affinities, mild telepathy is also reported but I’ve no confirmation of that. In a push, one mate can use the chakra of the other to defend the pair.”So far, the swordsman didn’t see any issues to that but he wasn’t an expert. It just meant a more unique training for both boys, which he was looking forward to.“And the disadvantages?”“The boys cannot be separated from this point forward. The bond demands a certain amount of contact, which will lessen a bit as they get older and become intimate. If both become shinobi, they’ll have to be on the same team.”“You think they will become intimate,” Zabuza asked, frowning a bit. He knew that the gods wanted the two fully mated, which meant intimacy, but a chakra bond demanding it? It seemed a tad fishy to him, but he knew the kami worked in ways beyond his understanding.“They will have to once they are mature enough to handle it,” Hiashi replied. “The intimacy deepens the bond and keeps the chakra flow fresh between them. You know what this means as well, Hokage-sama.”“I do,” the Hokage acknowledged. “The problem lies in keeping him protected.”“I think it can be done,” the Hyuuga clan head answered. “This bonding is considered a marriage, which means the terms have to be met. I will help with any problems the council tries to cause.”“And you know they will,” the ruler said, looking tired. “I’ll need you here for a bit longer, Hiashi.”“I’m at your disposal, Hokage-sama.”“Are you certain,” he asked, watching the clan head. “You are well aware of what the council will do once it’s announced.”“He was my teammate, and his wife was my brother’s teammate. I will support their son as I swore to them when he was born,” Hiashi told the village’s leader. “The only thing I ask is that you allow me to be a mentor to him as he will have a lot of responsibility on his shoulders.”“Responsibility,” Zabuza asked, knowing they were talking about the blond. Given the chakra bond between Haku and Naruto, he should be informed about what was going on and would prove to the Hokage he was serious about the two children.However, it seemed the elderly man had a similar train of thought. He turned his eyes to the swordsman, gesturing for both of the younger men to take a seat.“First of all, Momochi-san, why have you come to Konoha?”“My son deserves a safe place to grow up,” the swordsman replied honestly. “Mizu is not safe for him due to his unique talents, and I know that your village is open and accepting of those with unusual traits.”“Mizu does have problems with anyone that holds bloodline gifts,” the Hokage acknowledged. “I can understand your motives now. Seeing as you are here, what are your intentions?”“I want Haku and I to become citizens of Konoha, and I am willing to serve as one of the village’s shinobi if you agree to it and can even help build up a group like what Mizu has regarding swordsmen. Right now, I just want to raise my son to become a good man,” he told the occupants of the room. The leader filled his pipe, packing the tobacco into the bowl as he contemplated the man’s words.“I believe you,” he told the man. “As such, I shall have the paperwork for citizenship as well as shinobi papers prepared for you. I believe Jonin should be an adequate rank for you to start off with. Hiashi, I ask that you take them into your home and watch over them until his trial time with us is done.”“They are welcome at my home, Hokage-sama.”“Thank you for your hospitality, Hyuuga-sama. I must ask, Hokage-sama, what will be done regarding the bond between the boys? I do not want to see Haku hurt.”“Nor shall he be,” the elder told him, lighting his pipe. “Given the bonding is a form of marriage, this also creates an issue for Naruto since one of the conditions in his father’s will has been met. He is now able to claim the legacy of his parents, which puts him in a unique position that will make him vulnerable until the time comes where he is able to defend himself properly as well as interact with the Councils in the right manner.”“I still don’t understand,” Zabuza told him. “What position is the boy in?”“His father was Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime Hokage of Konohagakure,” the Sandaime informed him. “Naruto is his heir and now head of the Namikaze clan as well as Uzumaki. He was not to be informed unless certain conditions were filled and with him now being bonded, he has the right to access the estate his parents left behind.”Even now, it was unbelievable to realize that the little blond boy was the son of the most feared man the elemental countries had ever seen. Add to that, the bloodline of the powerful Uzumaki clan and this made the young boy someone who would become incredibly formidable in the future. To think he was to help mold the child into a good man who would be strong and honorable was a tad overwhelming.“Given the situation, you and Hiashi will share guardianship of Naruto since the two children cannot be separated. I know Hiashi will be able to train him into becoming a great clan head and both of you will help him become a strong, honorable shinobi.”The Hyuuga clan head nodded, giving a small bow.“I would be honored to share such a responsibility with Momochi-san, and I also offer to include his son in the lessons as he will be Naruto’s husband and help him with clan based duties.”Zabuza gave a small bow, honored and touched by the man’s offer.“Thank you for the offer, Hyuuga-sama. I accept on my son’s behalf and offer to help any of your own children with training if you’d like,” he offered in return. “I just might take you up on it,” the long haired male told the other adult male. “I have two starting to learn the clan style but will need help on the other aspects of being a shinobi. My youngest is too young to learn just yet, but my daughter and nephew are at the right age.”“I will certainly help train and defend them,” he told the clan head.“Good, now that is out of the way, there is one other thing you should know about Naruto,” the Sandaime interjected. “Normally, I would not share this with you but as you are sharing guardianship of the boy, you need to know about something that affects him. This is a highly ranked secret and speaking of it will be penalized by death.”Zabuza was quiet as the Hokage explained how the boy was a jinchuriki to the Kyuubi. He was not surprised as the kami had shared this information with him and Haku before being sent back in time, but he resolved to ensure that the child had a good life.Haku’s voice was soft as he addressed the leader of the village.“That’s why people were trying to attack him? Don’t they understand the difference between a kunai and a kunai sealed in a scroll?”“Most do not, young Haku,” Hiashi said, pleased with the boy’s observations. “In time, I hope they will learn and be able to treat Naruto like the hero he is.”“In the meantime, Haku, we will have to make sure he is loved and protected,” Zabuza told his son, who nodded. “He is your bonded, and it’s your role to help him where you can.”“Of course, Father,” he deadpanned to his parent. “No one is going to hurt him because he’s mine now, and I’ll make sure they see that he’s special.”As the adults laughed at the boy’s answer, only Zabuza noticed the fierce gleam in his son’s eye and felt it in his own heart as well. They would make sure that Naruto was given everything they could possibly give to help him be happy as well as prepared for the journey ahead.Author’s End Note – Wow, I hope this was enjoyable for everyone. I love Haku; he’s turning into a spunky lad, and I enjoy that. I can’t wait to see what their influence will bring on Naruto, Hinata, and Neji.
