I do not own Naruto, if I did, Naruto wouldn't have become Ninja-Jesus
~~~~~~~~~
Naruto left the Hokage's office with a look of raw anticipation on his face as he stared at the scrolls in his hands. They were heavy, much heavier than they looked. One was yellow, with silver trim and a silver clasp on it, this clasp had a seal engraved onto it. The kanji in the center of the seal said "From Dad", Naruto took notice of the other scroll, which was aesthetically identical, save for the colors. It was a deep red, and where the other scroll was silver, it was gold. The seal had "From Mother" on it, and as he looked down at these two objects, Naruto felt waves of… something. There were far too many distinct emotions swirling in Naruto's mind for him to describe with words.
As Naruto entered his apartment, he walked into the kitchen and attempted to pry open the red scroll. The scroll zapped him with a small jolt of what felt like electricity. He looked at the seal engraved into the gold clasp. Recalling the things Jiraiya taught him about seals, Naruto recognized the design as a blood seal. Naruto ran his thumb across a kunai and touched the seal. The red scroll promptly unfurled itself and Naruto began to read, but the first few words appeared to be smudged by tears. The writing continued underneath.
"Naruto Uzumaki, my son. If you're reading this, I've died before you came of age. If that is the case, my greatest regret is that I'll never get to see you grow up, nor will I get to truly experience being your mother. I love you, my son. Enclosed in the seal below this are all of my personal effects I wish to pass on to you, as are your fathers'. If you happen to read this letter first, please wait and read what your father wrote to you. Then open the seal. I love you, my son. Please, be strong.
Your Mother; Kushina Uzumaki."
Naruto's heartbeat sped up as he read the name of his mother. "But that was the name of the…" Naruto's head slowly turned to the currently sealed yellow scroll. He touched it and popped it open.
"Naruto, sorry, but I have to be brief. The Kyuubi is stomping through the village as we speak and I need to prepare your seal. I know you probably hate me for doing this to you, but I can't ask someone to willingly put their child through the life of a jinchuuriki if I'm not willing to sacrifice my own first. My name is Minato Namikaze, Naruto, I'm your father."
Naruto stared down at the scroll, feeling empty. All of his misplaced hatred for the Yondaime no longer had a place in his soul to reside. Naruto felt a strange mix of emptiness, and excitement. He finally learned who his parents were, and they were non other then the Bloody Habañero and the Yellow Flash at that, but they're also the reason he lived a life of isolation. Naruto figured that he'd sort his emotions out over time. He looked at his father's scroll and continued reading.
"I need you to be strong for me Naruto. I'm sorry that our identities have been kept secret from you for so long, but I have a lot of enemies. I could never forgive myself if something happened to you. Naruto, I'm begging you, please don't turn out like all the other jinchuuriki, don't become the monster sealed within you.
The sealing process will kill me, so this is the last time I'll get to see you. I'm sorry I couldn't be a father to you, sorry that I could never be there to teach you things, sorry that I couldn't protect you from the harshness of the world, but I'm the 4th Hokage. I have to preserve the Will of Fire, even if it costs me my life. See you on the other side. I love you, Naruto Namikaze-Uzumaki.
Good luck, and stay strong,
Minato "The Yellow Flash" Namikaze; 4th Hokage of Konohagakure
~Signing off."
Tears welled up in Naruto's eyes, and for the first time in 3 years, he cried. All of the pent up anger, sadness, fear, and loneliness from his life released itself all at that moment. Naruto managed to compose himself after a few minutes and returned to his mother's scroll, he pumped chakra into the left seal. Out came several keys linked to a key-ring along with an attached note.
"This is the key to our home, I hope you find it useful. It's the big one in the park, with the red gates, you can't miss it. ~Mom"
Naruto perked up and looked at his tidy, yet dilapidated dwelling. He would be more than happy to move out, it's not like the place had any sentimental value, to Naruto, it was just a place to live.
The blonde smiled and went up to his room and place his finger through the loop of the kunai embedded in the floorboards. He once again disappeared in a yellow flash.
Our hero appeared on that familiar hill and turned to the graves once more, he sat down in front of Haku's marker and stared at it. He began to talk after a short silence.
"Haku-chan. I found out who my parents were today. I was finally old enough to receive my inheritance, so… I'm proud of them. It was a pleasant surprise. I just wanted to share that with you… I know that your experience with parents wasn't a bright one, you deserved better. Had you been born in Konoha, you'd still be alive today, you'd be here with me."
Naruto felt a lump in his throat as he remembered the end of their fight on the bridge.
~ 2.5 Years Ago ~
"WHY! WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE YOU?!" A red eyed Naruto roared at a solemn Haku as her broken mask clattered on the ground.
Her voice was barely a whisper. "It seems that fate has drawn us together, Naruto." Haku stumbled toward Naruto, almost falling. Naruto stepped in and caught her, her weak voice continued.
"Sasuke will be fine. It's the same trick I pulled on you earlier with Zabuza."
Naruto sat down with her and let her rest her head on his chest. He looked at the top of her head. "You really aren't cut out to be a ninja, you're too gentle. Why not kill him?"
Haku looked at Naruto, tired beyond imagination. "When a person has something important they want to protect that's when they can become truly strong."
Naruto blinked at Haku. "You lost on purpose?"
Haku cupped Naruto's face. "No, you beat me all your own. I just couldn't bear to kill you. The only way out of that battle was for one of us to die, I knew you were strong Naruto, so I just had to give you a reason to defeat me."
Naruto hugged Haku tighter, and she hugged him back. Suddenly, Haku struggled from Naruto's embrace.
"Zabuza is in trouble." Naruto also stood up in protest.
"Haku, you're too injured to do anything. You'll only get killed. I know it's against your nindo, but I can't let you throw your life away!" Naruto grabbed her wrist, but then he saw her other hand swing at him. He took a step back to dodge, but suddenly realized pressure in the side of his neck. Naruto immediately took notice of the needle buried in his flesh, and suddenly fell to the ground, numb all over. Haku propped Naruto up on the guard rail and knelt down so that they were eye level.
"I can't leave him to die after everything he's done for me. Goodbye, Naruto."
Naruto struggled to speak. "H-Haku."
She stood up and turned, but hesitated when she saw the tears in his eyes. She knelt back down and stared into his eyes, she paused, and then kissed him. Miraculously, Naruto was able to pick his arm up and wipe one of her tears away after their lips parted. She held his hand to her face and stared longingly at him for what felt like an eternity. Naruto realized that she was waiting for him to come to terms with it. Naruto tried to speak, but his body faught him every step of the way.
'So, is this the life of a ninja?' Naruto thought to himself, Haku nodded to him as if she could hear his thoughts.
Naruto's vision faded on the image of her smiling face. That was the last time he saw her alive.
Naruto stared at her grave marker and sighed. "I have to go again, Haku-chan. It's not normal that I get to see you twice a day. I have to get ready to move out tonight, so I'll stop by in a few days."
Naruto got up and teleported back to his room. The influx of emotions over the last few hours made Naruto fail to notice the figures hiding in the tree line overlooking the bridge.
