Naruto's hands trembled as he slid the talisman into the niche in the gate. It had taken him two weeks to perfect the item and it's image left in his mind by his father's chakra clone, the only way into the Namikaze Clan Grounds. Unfortunately his father's had been melted when his body had been cremated, so he had needed to make a new one, complete with the appropriate seals over it, embedding the remains of his father's chakra into it to allow him entrance to the property.
Beside him Hinata smiled in encouragement, knowing how difficult this was for him, Aijou choosing to hang from her waist where it clung on to her coats belt, not speaking as it sensed her summoner's turmoil even if she didn't truly understand it.
It wasn't that Naruto was nervous about entering because of the fact this was his father's home, to him he was Kain's son, ever and always, despite knowing his heritage. Kain was his chichi always while Minato Namikaze was his biological father. Kain was real, 'alive' in a manner of speaking, there for him through his memories, gentle or firm when he needed it, his life and protection growing up. His biological parents, however, weren't. While he understood that wasn't their fault no more than it was Kyuubi, even though he had met fragments of them, it wasn't the same.
No, it was the fact that this was the home of his biological father, and his father before him, and his father before him, and his father before him...
This was his ancestral home, from the first Namikaze to inhabit Hidden Leaf down the ages to him. How many people once lived here? What jutsu's did they know? What traditions and beliefs did they have and pass down? What did they leave behind for those who came next and what secrets did they bury here? Did his father learn the abilities and jutsu's that made him famous from his ancestors? Could HE learn them as well?
Would the house accept or reject him?
What everyone else didn't know was the Namikaze Estate was protected by an powerful entity. Seals gave it the ability to protect the entire property with both physical force and various jutsu's embedded in the walls. One of the first Namikaze from centuries ago, the being sought to protect and even guide his descendants through the ages by ensuring their safety once inside the grounds. It was why Danzo had never been able to get inside after Minato's death. Only those approved by him was allowed entrance. And once you entered, you were at his mercy-so the kami's forbid you try anything.
Which was why Naruto was nervous, would he sense his father's blood in him and accept him inside with Hinata? Or would he reject him because he was no longer human? Would the home that was his by birth-rite be forever out of reach?
Cautiously he approached the front door, reaching out to touch the door knob.
Electricity sparked-a warning.
Although through Sasuke Naruto could obviously absorb the energy turned against him, he wanted the Guardians trust and such an act would be seen as an attack to the being. So Naruto kept his hand where it was, hovering just shy of the knob, and spoke out loud "I'm Naruto, Naruto NamikazeUzumaki. I'm the last of your line, and this is my wife Hinata. Minato and Kushina were my parents."
There was an feeling from the house, an hesitation, uncertainty.
"I'm different because of circumstances beyond my control. Do you know about the Ancient Vampires-how we are descended from them?" After waiting a second he went on "Another Vampire has surfaced and awakened my heritage. I am not an vampire, but the Ancient races blood has been awakened by him and I am fully one."
Nothing.
Naruto looked around, at the windows and wood and rice paper-looking for a sign. "I can prove it. How many people know of your existence-let alone your name-Hogosha?"
Nothing. But when Naruto closed his hand around the door knob, there was no reaction.
Slowly the door swung open and both looked inside. Lights came on, soft at first to allow their eyes to adjust and the two cautiously entered. The door closed behind them softly and they headed down the hallway, the lights in front of them slowly brightening as they walked as if to lead them.
They found themselves in another hall, longer than the last, with lights along both sides of the wall. Each light was above an picture, like in an art gallery, ranging from photographs to painted portraits and each framed, behind glass as if to preserve the more older portraits.
Walking up and down the hall as he looked, Naruto noticed a pattern. The first was an single portrait, the second usually the person from the first-male or female-with an member of the opposite sex and then a child. The next would be another single, the child grown up, and then the same pattern again.
He realized what it was-a timeline. The Namikaze, his or her chosen partner and child, that child grown up, his or her partner and child and so on down the line.
If more than one child was born the other was placed on the opposite wall. But it seemed that had happened only twice.
Naruto noticed an discrepancy with the pattern. The last picture. The one before it was definitely his biological father but the one after it was not his parents and him-not that he expected it to be given the circumstances-but rather his father with his seriously pregnant mother. She looked 'almost ready to burst' and Naruto recognized the clothes as what the chakra clone was wearing. So either this picture was taken the night of his birth, or his father put it up that very night and his mother had her own almost constant style. He could understand that, they were ninja, not supermodels, they would wear what was comfortable outside of their uniform.
He could just imagine his father putting this up, wanting to at least leave an reminder of his part in the family in case he-or his wife-didn't survive.
Hinata was looking at the pictures also and turned to look at him with a soft smile. When a light over an empty space next to his parents switched on, Naruto sensed an almost painful hope from the house.
He frowned. Ever since arriving on the property he had been sensing emotions and feelings from the spirit inside the house. His father's chakra clone has said or suggested nothing to imply he ever did, just that it was there and would let itself be known though actions. So why was he? Was it his Namikaze blood that connected it to him and all previous could do the same, just didn't mention it, or was it something else-like his connection to the realm of the dead and spirits-or something much more.
The light before him flickered as if to catch his attention and he was pulled out of his thoughts. The spirit wanted to know if he was staying, THAT was the question it was asking. The almost painful hope was because he had been trapped in the house alone for almost fourteen years alone, no one to protect or guide or watch over. In all the time he had been a part of the house he had never been left alone, the only one there, there was ALWAYS one Namikaze, born or married into, in the home, from a wife and children, single heir or to just children in general.
Now Naruto, last heir and his wife were both here together, he had a purpose again.
Naruto wished he could give it good news.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to inherit this place until I'm fifteen. That's almost a year and an half away."
Pain and anguish swamped him, the spirit was upset, nearly wailing in his turmoil.
Naruto almost swooned, seriously wavering on his spot and nearly collapsed with the power of the raw emotions, it was so strong he was overpowered in its flow. He didn't even feel or realize Hinata was by his side, concerned as she held him on his feet.
"Control yourself!" she snapped to the air around her "Naruto is empathic. He is ALSO connected to the land of the dead and sensitive to souls; spirits and ghosts, that means he not only feels you, but everything you do tenfold!"
Shock and surprise from the house, followed by an visible effort to repress the feelings.
Hinata moved in front of her mate and reached out to take his face in her hands, locking eyes with him she entered his mind easily. Any barriers he had had was washed away by the pain.
It took her a few minutes to bring him out but when she did they both sensed regret from the walls. "It's alright, you didn't know" Naruto soothed stroking the wall in front of him "I can understand how lonely and sad you've been with no one around. I had jiji and then Hina, Sas and chichi, for almost fourteen years you had no one."
He sensed the question, if he wasn't there to live, why WAS he there?
"First there are things you should know, important things."
The two humanoids found themselves lifted into the air. Aijou, sensing the disturbance, choose to spread her delicate wings and move from Hinata, following where the spirit 'carried' them.
They were taken into the lounge room, Hinata placed carefully sitting down on the couch while Naruto was set laying across the couch, his head in her lap, an throw-rug carefully laid over him.
Both teens took it for what it was, the spirits apology too them, Naruto especially. Hinata laughed good-naturally at the action but Naruto sat up, wrapping Hinata in his arms but keeping the rug over his lower legs, showing his acceptance of the apology. Aijou settled on the couch between their heads, her wings gently opening and closing, stroking both their cheeks.
Naruto spoke "I accept your mistake, you didn't know. Now before we go on, formal introductions. I'm Naruto UzumakiBaransu Hogo-ShaNamikaze, adopted son of Kohona's Bloodshadow, biological son of Minato and Kushina Namikaze, adopted brother of Razeil Uchiha-one of the first of the line eons ago, Glyph brother of Kiba Inuzuka-heir to the Inuzuka, Shikamaru Nara-heir to the Nara clan, Sauke Uchiha-one of the last CURRENT Uchiha, Choji Akimachi-heir to the Akimachi, Shino Aburame -heir to the Aburame clan and my wife, Hinata Hyuuga-heir to the Hyuuga clan.
I am also one of the two of the earths chosen Guardians of balance. And these..." he summoned two blood clones and allowed the two inside to enter, manipulating them to their chosen appearance.
The black haired male bowed to the presence around them "Razeil UchihaBaransu Hogo-Sha, son of Kain Baransu Hogo-Sha-otherwise known as the Bloodshadow, brother of Naruto and Kyuubi. It is an honor to meet another Guardian spirit of his own line."
The red headed female was next "Kyuubi Baransu Hogo-Sha, sister of Naruto and Razeil. We have indirectly known each other for years. I was once the soul trapped inside the wife of your last son Minato-Kushina. Naruto has cleansed me of the negative inside me. Now I am all I was meant to be." She smiled and bowed low "I hope we can be friends, the four of us."
The moth spoke next "I am Aijou, daughter of Kenbo, mother to all our kind."
Naruto explained "Aijou is an one-of-a-kind type of summons. Her kind-once the contract is signed-stay with the summoner. There is always one with them and are not summoned or released. She has been chosen by her leader to be mine. They are called black moths and they have an connection to the realm of the dead."
He then changed the subject "Occasionally my brothers will visit us, along with my chichi and his...mate Anko. I would like you to welcome them as you do me.
Niisan and Neesan are a part of me, they will occasionally be living with me when they can come out" Naruto explained "they are no threat, to you or me. In fact they only want to protect and help me like you. I hope you can accept them and treat them like the family they are to me."
Confusion and uncertainty.
"There is a lot you need to know, about what is happening and what has. Do you...did you know both my father and mother are dead?"
Affirmative, he had sensed it when they died. An impression of an wrenching when it had happened.
"Right, well, that has to do with how and why they died and why neesan attacked the village."
Instead of starting there, Naruto started at the Ancient vampires and Hylden, the wars, the pillars and the Guardians. Slowly they worked their way up to the current events. By the time it was finished, all four were seated together, Kyuubi at the head with Naruto laying down, his head in her lap, his feet and legs wrapped in the throw, feet cradled in Hinata's lap as she leaned into Razeil's side, head on his shoulder.
Without Naruto to tell them what the spirit was feelingasking they had to settle for other ways. Things like question marks appearing in the air or lights flickering.
When one appeared in reference to Naruto's weakened state, Kyuubi explained "he recently had an encounter with an particularly veralant poison. He has healed and adapted to it, but hasn't fully recovered. It makes him weaker than he likes to admit and he IS getting back to full health as he was before, but he is recovering slowly, which is why the Hokage hasn't assigned him any missions lately. He is sleeping, which is good, it will help him heal faster. However Naruto is the type determined too remain active, sometimes past the point he should do." She looked up at the house meaningfully "he has a habit of denying his own weaknesses."
The spirit understood, questioning if the two teens should be put to bed. "If there is an clean one, yes."
Immediately both teens were lifted gently from the couch and moved away, the two figures following behind. Up some stairs, down a hall, to a room with an ornate door. It opened and they watched the top sheet and a blanket fold back.
Gently both teens were placed on the bed, bodies straightened, then the sheet and blanket was pulled over them.
They then left them there to sleep and went back downstairs. "I'll have Naruto talk to the Hokage tomorrow" Kyuubi promised "even if he can't claim his birth-rite early, there is bound to be a way around it that will allow them to live here. Kain and Anko can keep the apartment but they should be here."
Razeil spoke "perhaps they can get a job as live-in caretakers."
The spirit was thankful, even if the two didn't feel it.
**************************************************************************
"This is absolutely fascinating" Raziel murmured hours later as he and Kyuubi sat in the hallway where the paintings hung with hundreds of scrolls lay around them. They had started in the lounge, but moved to the hall as they read to match names with faces.
They were reading of the history of the Namikaze clan and the origins of Hidden Leaf and found it remarkably interesting concerning both the pillars and the things Tsunade had told them that day they first found her. When they were told that the Senju and Namikaze were distantly related, that was both the truth and a lie. In fact they were a lot like the Uchiha and Hyuuga. Or just the Hyuuga. The Senju was the main while the Namikaze was the branch. Something happened between the Senju and the first Namikaze-they were unsure-and he and his family was sent to the area of what was now known as Kohona to search for Kain and the pillars. They had found the pillars and were responsible for the seals around it-NOT the First-making it so only someone with either Namikaze or Senju genetics could enter, setting up the 'trap door', to be reinforced later by the Hokage. The two souls knew that it was only the groups connection to Naruto through the glyph seals that allowed them entrance to the area, Sakura and Ino probably because of their current close proximity and presence in the group that allowed them inside.
This meant the Namikaze WERE Senju. At least they HAD been full blooded Senju until they had 'bred' with other people or clans. There was even a surprise-surprise an Uchiha and an Uzumaki other than Kushina in there.
Naruto would be pleased, it would mean that he and Sasuke were related, not directly but genetically.
Razeil was also pleased, somewhere down his line HIS line became a part of his adopted brothers. Naruto was more of a brother than ever. In a way it also explained his compatibility to him.
When the Namaikaze failed to find Kain, the First Hokage came to the area to find out what was going on-and so started the birth of Hidden Leaf. The Namikaze was-in a way-not only the oldest clan in the village but the first, as the village was built around the grounds.
The first Hokage wasn't responsible for the trap door to the base of the pillars, the protection around them (although the man DID strengthen it) or even the moth summons area. The scrolls proved it. The clan had been privy to information Tsunade wasn't told in order to ensure their job was successful. Anything they found on this or similar would be truly interesting.
They had no idea how long they had been doing what they were when there came a noise. When they looked up there was the sound of a door and an question mark appeared.
"We do not understand. What is the question?" Kyuubi blinked.
A wall opposite them began to glow, revealing a picture-much like a projector would produce for movies-showing five figures approaching what resembled the gate of the clan grounds, headed up the path towards the door. When one tried the door and they heard it rattle but not budge and frown, they figured what the soul was asking.
Where these allies? Should he let them in or reject them from the grounds?
"Can you sense if they have any jutsu over them?" Kyuubi asked, however Aijou spoke out "I can sense their chakra from here, they are whom they seem."
Kyuubi looked to the summons "are you sure? You must be. The protection in this place must always stand. Any enemy entering could and would be able to bypass it."
The black moth summons nodded "positive."
Kyuubi accepted this and looked up around them "let them in. They are important people to Naruto."
The image faded and they heard the door unlock. "in here, guys" Kyuubi called.
The first around the corner was-of course-Sasuke. He frowned when he noticed both there alone and was just opening his mouth to speak when Kyuubi interrupted "he's upstairs with Hinata, Sasuke, sleeping." When the Uchiha went to leave, the kitsune sighed "just let them sleep in peace, Sas, they are safer here than anywhere else in the entirity of the world."
"Hnn" the Uchiha grunted, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning against the wall beside him, looking disgruntled.
Next to their surprise was the only other winged figure in all Kohona. Both figures scrambled to their feet, Razeil asking in shock "Janos?! Why are YOU here?"
"My granddaughter-in-law called me" he tapped his temple "she told me to come, that this place had some...interesting information."
The two souls remembered how Hinata had joined them briefly a few hours ago, curious about what they were doing. After a bit she had told them she was going back to be with Naruto.
Obviously before she had gone back to sleep, she had called Janos to them who had come as soon as he could.
"Indeed" Razeil told him, handing him a few scrolls, "the lounge is that way" pointing towards the right room. The man nodded and walked the right way, Sasuke frowning and following.
Next was none other than Shikamaru Nara, hands in pockets and looking both bored and disgruntled for being dragged there, interrupting his cloud watching time.
However he WAS the Earth's Guardian of Death-and Life. If anyone could see and hear the soul inhabiting the home, it was him. With Naruto asleep, they needed an 'interpreter'. Who better than the Guardian of Death and Life?
Lastly was a certain couple.
Kain was wearing an blood red shirt and black trousers, the shirts sleeves folded up to his elbows and black gloves similar to the ones Kakashi wore, except the metal plate on the back. He wore plan black shoes and had his long heavy hair tied behind him.
Anko on the other hand was entirely feminine with her hair long and styled. She wore an dark violet blouse edged in gold that hugged her chest and an matching skirt that went to her knees. The blouse and skirt were obviously a set, the same shade and material, either silk or an very good imitation, but knowing Kain's money, real.
She wore an pair of ivory high heel shoes, gold jewelry adorning her neck, ears and wrist.
Together the two look like they had just come from a date.
And they probably had.
Razeil frowned "I thought you two were going out this evening. Why are you here?"
Anko frowned "I may tease him, Razeil, but Naruto is a little brother to me as if he was born one. We were concerned when a little pick up job stretched on for hours. When we saw the others heading here, we decided to come here too."
"There is nothing wrong" Kyuubi said "he went to bed, he's still a little tired. He left us here to find what we need for him."
"I see that, and have you?" Kyuubi glared at the new vampire, implying she was useless, it was in her tone "Hogosha sama will only release THAT information to Naruto, we may be his other halves but we are not him, family."
"Hogosha?" asked the old-breed vampire, interrupting and derailing his chosen's next words.
Kyuubi nodded "the soul of the first Namikaze. When he was dying he did not want to leave his wife and children unprotected, so he had some sages and experienced seal experts weave his chakra and soul with the house and clan grounds. He has been here ever since, guiding and protecting his descendants while they are here. Naruto is the last of that line."
"So that's why I'm here" Shikamaru said "because of my Guardianship."
"Not to free him, Shika" Razeil said "He has been here so long I doubt he could be separated intact if at all. It is why the Namikaze clan grounds stood, unharmed and undamaged during the events almost fourteen years ago and Naruto deserves and blood relation alive-so-to-speak. No, we can not understand him. We need an translator of sorts."
The Nara sighed and said "he wants to know why we are here and why you gave those scrolls to Janos-sama."
The two souls looked around while Razeil spoke "Naruto told you about the Guardians and his glyph brothers and sister. The man is Janos Auldron, last of the Ancient vampires, Kain's creator and father of sorts. He is therefore Naruto's adopted grandfather and the very earth choose him as her Guardian of Knowledge-hence why we gave him the scrolls. Since his appointment we discovered he not only has an photographic memory but remembers huge volumes of knowledge. He will remember everything in the scrolls.
The boy who came in first is Sasuke Uchiha-the second of the only two surviving of their clan, one of Naruto's glyph brothers and the earth's Guardian of Energy. He, Naruto and Hinata grew up together and as you saw is powerfully protective of his brother.
This is Shikamaru Nara, heir to the Nara clan and another of his glyph brothers, also the earth's chosen guardian of Death and Life.
Lastly these two are Anko Mitarashi, first of the new generation of vampires and the last of the old generation vampires, earth's second guardian of Balance, former Scion Of Balance, Naruto's adopted father, the man your clan was sent to find and awake-Kain. My father also."
Shocked awe, this was the guy his entire line was charged to find, followed by elation.
Kyuubi smiled gently, knowing he was overjoyed an member of HIS clan found him. He had been so pissed when the Senju turned up and proclaimed they would take over, that THEY would find him "that's right Hogosha-sama, Kain, your entire purpose for being here, the one your entire line was charged with finding. Was found and awakened by Naruto your last heir, the one unaware of his heritage and their purpose, an Namikaze, NOT an Senju."

I was inspired to write this. I thought that Naruto should have an 'blood relative' left 'alive'.
