AN: Welcome to Resurgence of the Senju Clan, this is my adaptation of how cannon should have been. Naruto and Sasuke are the next generation of Hashirama and Madara, Sasuke has the Sharingan so Naruto has the Mokuton! Edited: 8/6/16
Chapter One:
Enter: Naruto Senju!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was the longest running Hokage Konoha has ever had. He was trained by the Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage's to take the mantle of Hokage after them. In his prime he was hailed as the Kami no Shinobi for his mastery of every shinobi discipline. His mere presence on the battle field could cause opposing forces to retreat.
The Sandaime was looking through the window behind his desk to over look the village he loves so much and all the people he swore he would die to protect. Throughout his life he has had many regrets- not killing Orochimaru, not being able to stop Tsunade from leaving the village and not being able to help his Successor with the Kyuubi. To many failures for someone hailed with unrivaled abilities.
Hiruzen's thoughts drifted to the little blond haired boy- Naruto, the Fourth Hokage's son and Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi. The kid didn't have a negative emotion in him, he was a little ball of happiness. Deciding that visiting Naruto would be a fun way to get out of paper work he got up and left the office. After all, anything that could get him out of the stuffy office would be worth it.
xXx
(Naruto's Apartment)
Naruto was impatiently waiting for his ramen to finish cooking, it was one of the hardest things the blond has ever had to do on a consistent bases. Young Naruto was given his own apartment last month right after his sixth birthday. He did mostly everything on his own but ANBU would occasionally come by to check on him and drop off groceries when he wasn't home.
Naruto heard a knock on his door and perked up slightly. Surprised that someone would want to visit him he opened the door, "Old Man!" The Sandaime was the closest thing to a grandfather he has and one of the only people who was nice to the him.
The Sandaime let out a chuckle, "Good to see you Naruto-kun. How have you been?"
Naruto frowned, "Well this is the third cup of ramen I have tried to cook today, so I would say pretty bad." He was quite upset that his precious ramen keeps dying, if only he could resurrect the cups of ramen but his abilities don't cover miracles.
Hiruzen let out a bark of laughter, leave it to Naruto to only feel sad that his ramen kept burning. "How about I take you to a ramen stand that is one of my favorites." Naruto's face shot up in genuine happiness, the old man would take him out for ramen this could possibly be the best day of his life.
The old man spotted something to his right, the plant in the window started to look healthier all of a sudden more vibrant even.
xXx
(Uchiha Compound)
Sasuke Uchiha was eating a tomato with a smile on his face. His brother was going to start showing him shurikenjutsu today and he couldn't wait, with all of the ANBU work his brother had been doing recently they haven't had much time to do things together. It was hard on Sasuke as their father's expectations were based on his brothers accomplishments and Sasuke didn't think he could live up to his genius older brother.
Itachi walked into the compound with a purpose. He was given the invite into ANBU a few months ago and was now being looked at for a captan position. It was an incredible honor to be invited into ANBU at the young age he was but to be looked at for a captan position already, he was the talk of the village. Getting to his home his mother was apparently out getting food and his father is still at the Military Police Headquarters working so it was just his brother waiting patiently.
"Hello Sasuke-kun, I'm really hungry how about we get some lunch before we train." Itachi had been training for several hours today and really wanted some food, and it just so happened that Shisui showed him this really good ramen place last week.
"Sure let's go!" Shouted Sasuke, he didn't really care, he was spending time with his brother.
xXx
(Ichiraku Ramen)
The Hokage and Naruto arrived to the ramen stand and quickly ordered some food. The owner is a nice old man named Teuchi and his daughter Ayame was his assistant cook. They were really nice and invited Naruto to come back whenever he wanted to much to the blond's joy.
Two people entered the stand and sat next to them, they were both Uchiha if the symbol on their shirts were anything to go by.
Itachi immediately bowed to the Hokage, "Good to see you Hokage-sama, this is my little brother Sasuke." Sasuke bowed respectfully like his mother taught him to. He was slightly intimidated by being in front of the village leader and strongest shinobi but with his brother here he was slightly more calm.
The Hokage nodded in greeting. "Hello Itachi-kun and hello Sasuke-kun this is my little friend Naruto-kun." The little bond waved his hand with ramen coming out of his mouth. Not caring in the slightest about manners with Ramen this good in his mouth.
Naruto finished his bowl and looked at Sasuke, "So are you going to be joining the academy this year?"
Sasuke glanced at the blond in surprise, "Yes how did you know?" He's never seen this kid in his life how'd he know he was going to the academy?
Naruto shrugged, "We look the same age and your brother has a headband."
Sasuke then decided to boast about his brother, "Yeah my ni-san's the best, he's already an ANBU and he's going to show me shurikenjutsu today." Itachi just shook his head, his brother loves to brag.
"Really! That is so cool." Naruto really wanted an older brother to show him stuff, but he tried to hide his sadness at his loneliness. The Sandaime looked at Naruto sadly, knowing what Naruto was thinking. It was apparent that the blond was incredibly lonely, unfortunately he did all he could to help him with the time he had.
Itachi- thinking the same thing, "Why don't you come along Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun could use a training partner." Suggested Itachi. He remembered the Red headed lady that was pregnant and was best friends with his mother. He knew who Naruto's parents were, so he thought that the Kushina-san would like it if he helped Naruto out.
Sasuke eyes shot to his brother, "Ni-san are you sure?" He didn't want to share his brother, especially with someone he just met.
Itachi just nodded, "Yes, training by yourself is fine but everyone needs a partner. Naruto looks like he will be a good training partner." Assured Itachi with a smile.
Naruto's face lit up again just like before, the Hokage noticed that and looked outside across the road at a tree that looked like it was shaking.
"Really Itachi that would be awesome, I won't slow you two down I promise." Shouted Naruto with a salute, this was his chance to make a friend.
The Hokage took his eyes off the tree to look at Itachi seriously, "Thank you for helping him Itachi-kun."
Itachi bowed his head and paid for his and Sasuke's meal then waved for Naruto to follow him. Naruto hugged the old man before following the two Uchiha out of the ramen stand. He could barely contain the excitement at the opportunity, both for training and for potential friendship.
When they were gone the Hokage looked down in thought, 'I'm not sure, but if it is what I think it is then Naruto has something the village hasn't seen in nearly sixty years. I will need to contact Tenzo to see if Naruto is compatible. The question is how...'
xXx
(Uchiha Training Ground)
The Uchiha training grounds were quite large, mostly open fields with the Naka river running through each of them. Itachi was bringing Sasuke and Naruto to learn some basic shurikenjutsu and maybe activate their Chakras, he didn't know where the day will go.
Naruto and Sasuke were talking the whole way about how they would be better than each other. Sasuke was sure he would activate his Chakra first and Naruto said that he would first, Sasuke knew he would be better at shurikenjutsu and Naruto said that he's better than Sasuke at everything.
Both were arguing and Itachi decided to clear his throat to get their attention. "Okay you two, we'll be practicing your accuracy and we might open your Chakra towards the end." Instructed Itachi, he was amused at their attentiveness.
Both of the future academy students look quite focused. Itachi went through the basic motions of tossing shuriken, how they should stand and how their wrists should move, everything. Itachi gave both of them some shuriken to try themselves and directed them to a tree to aim at.
Naruto and Sasuke let all of their shuriken go at the tree at the same time. Both of them were terrible as expected, none of the shuriken stayed in the tree and most of them missed. Naruto and Sasuke dropped their heads in disappointment, they didn't think that they would be that bad, it was embarrassing after all that boasting.
If Itachi was a lesser man he would be laughing, but he's Itachi Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha didn't laugh, but the twitch of his lips is a sign of his struggle. "That was expected of your first try. Don't stop, keep practicing."
That's how the afternoon went for the most part. Both Naruto and Sasuke would continue trying to hit the tree with shuriken. Itachi later decided that accessing their Chakra would be a good way to end the day. He interrupted both of them causing all the shuriken to miss making them glare at him.
"Well it's getting late, I think we should end the day with accessing both of your Chakras." Both Naruto and Sasuke got determined fire in their eyes.
Both look to each other with determination. "I bet I can beat you and open mine first Sasuke!"
Sasuke, not one to be beaten challenged right back. "No way! I'm going to be first!"
Naruto and Sasuke start arguing back and forth. Then both of them started to beat on their stomachs and yell release over and over again.
Itachi blinked a few times then sweat dropped. Clearing his throat getting their attention. "How is it you two think you access you Chakra?" Question Itachi.
Both of the six year olds looked at him confused, "I thought you had to beat it out." Naruto said and Sasuke nodded with Naruto's idea.
Itachi just face palmed. "No… no. You need to use the ram sign and concentrate deep inside and find your Chakra then pull it out." Itachi went on to further explain the process and the two listened with extremely focused expressions.
Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other, they sit on the ground and use the hand-seal Itachi showed them then concentrated. Sasuke seemed to find it first, Itachi was surprised at the amount, it's close to Genin in size already. That was unheard of for a six year old.
Naruto was concentrating as hard as he can. He found the pull but when he grabbed it to pulled it out, pain erupted in his skull. He could feel everything around him and he couldn't take it so suddenly. The trees were pulsing and he could feel the wind flow through the forests, the chakra presence of everyone in the village was well within his sensing range.
Itachi and Sasuke were watching with wide eyes full of worry. Naruto was grabbing his head in pain and his Chakra was fluctuating wildly. Naruto was trying to make the pain stop but it wouldn't, it was getting worse with the more Chakra that came out.
After a few moments several ANBU and the Sandaime Hokage arrive after feeling the Chakra all the way from the Hokage's office. Hiruzen rushed over to Naruto to see if he was okay, "Itachi what happened?" Barked Hiruzen. Heads were going to role if this was done maliciously.
Itachi froze, he couldn't move but managed to point to the ground around Naruto. Nobody noticed it until Itachi pointed it out- surrounding Naruto were several small sprouts of little trees. The ANBU around Naruto were severely shocked, the ANBU with the Inu mask and gravity defying silver hair walked up to the little trees. Touching one of them he felt the chakra running through it, they were pulsing with chakra and he felt like they were living entities with how much chakra was flowing through them.
Naruto finally passed out from the pain and chakra exhaustion, Hiruzen looked around and made sure to eye everyone seriously. "Not a word of this, any of you! Till I find out for sure what this is for sure." Nobody did anything other than node, they wanted no part of the Sandaime's wrath if they could help it.
Sasuke was worried for his new friend, one second he was fine the next he was screaming in pain.
"Is he going to be alright?" Sasuke asked shyly, the Hokage looked really serious and he was kinda scared. The Hokage's eye's softened at the scared little kid who's friend was just writhing in pain after something that should have been fun.
"I'm sure he will be alright Sasuke-kun. We have to get him to the hospital to run some tests, but I believe I know what it is." Hiruzen didn't want to say until he is absolutely sure about it. But he was 99 percent sure that the village just got it's second Mokuton user.
xXx
(Konoha Hospital)
The Hokage didn't go to the front desk and demand a doctor no, he ran to the second floor and went to his most trusted doctor. She is the only person he trusted with Naruto's healthcare.
Rei Hanako was a Med Nin who served in the Third shinobi war as a Chūnin until she dedicated all of her time to healing. She was enjoying her afternoon tea when her door burst open and her Hokage came in with an unconscious blond in his arms.
Fearing the worst, she ran over with glowing palms and checked the little blond over, after a minute of searching she looked up with a flown, "Hokage-sama he only has Chakra exhaustion, nothing too serious, he should be fine in a few days." Muttered Rei wondering why the Hokage would over react over something that he should know about.
It was good to hear Naruto would be fine, but he already knew that, "I know that, but I want you to run some tests on Naruto-kun, as well as his mother." Rei's eyes widened, what the hell was going on?
"What kind of tests do you need me to run Hokage-sama?" She was certainly confused, she knew Kushina and knew that Naruto was her son, hell he was like a clone of Minato.
Hiruzen's face became serious, "Compare their blood to Hashirama Senju, Naruto-kun here activated his Chakra today, something happened and I want to confirm if it is just a mutation or a Kekkei Genkai. " Rei understood what he was talking about and looked at Naruto with wonder. He might have the Shodaime Hokage's Kekkei Genkai?
"Okay Hokage-sama, I will set up a room and perform the necessary tests for Naruto-kun and contact you when I'm done." The Hokage nodded while setting Naruto down on the couch in the office and left to go to his own Office. He needed to contact Jiraiya, maybe even her.
xXx
(Somewhere in Hi no Kuni)
For the past six years since his student's death, Jiraiya has thrown himself into his work. He wanted to get the thought of his student out of his head and the self hatred for not being there to help him. He promised Minato that he would look after Naruto but he could bring himself to stay in the village after what happened. What was worse was the man he considered a son had his face carved into the mountain and to Jiraiya it was like he was being judged the whole time he was there.
A small toad popped next to him with a scroll in its' hand, Jiraiya took it and with a bow the toad left. Reading through the scroll before his eyes went wide and he choked in shock, 'I need to go back to the village. Sensei might need help dealing with this.' The political struggle between the elders and Danzo to get Naruto under their thumb will be a lot for the old man to handle alone.
Gathering himself before taking off in a speed that only an S-rank ninja could even hope to have towards the village to see his godson. Maybe this was his chance to make up for lost time...
xXx
(Somewhere else in Hi no Kuni)
Tsunade and Shizune were walking toward the next town for them to stay at and for Tsunade to gamble and get drunk. Tsunade has been drinking her sorrows away for years since Dan and Nawaki died, since that day she has been haunted by their deaths.
Tsunade was about to tell Shizune they should pick up the pace when a Slug popped up in front of her, surprised that her summons would contact her she bent down and saw a scroll. Rolling her eyes that someone from that hell hole was contacting her, she opened the scroll and started froze at what the scroll said, she has someone left. She has a piece of her family that was still alive.
She looked over to a Shizune, "Shizune we're going to Konoha, there is someone there that we need to meet."
Shizune couldn't believe what she was hearing, her master wanted to go back home on her own volition! Taking the scroll from Tsunade and reading it over she began to understand, there was a piece of her family that has emerged and Tsunade wasn't going to let them die like the others. Nodding to her Master they ran off toward the village at high speeds.
xXx
(Two Days Later: Konoha Hospital: Rei's Office)
For the past two days Rei has been running tests on Naruto's blood and testing it on some of the DNA Hashirama left behind in their records. All ninja since the Shodaime Hokage established the hospital were required to have some blood on file so they can identify someone by their DNA if the body was to far gone. It made it so families would have closure and would know for sure that their loved one was truly gone rather than wondering.
Rei found that Kushina had in fact been a descendant of Hashirama Senju, somehow. That shocked Rei, her friend was related to one of if not the most powerful Shinobi in history. Naruto's blood however was a match for Hashirama but there was something in both of their DNA that was similar to each other. This allowed them to unlock their Kekkei Genkai. It was like the two of them were connected in a way different from just being family almost to the level of the soul perhaps.
She left to go notify the Hokage.
xXx
(Hokage's Office)
Hiruzen was hoping that Jiraiya would make it back before the test were done on Naruto. He was a sad that Tsunade didn't even send a message back to him, he was hoping that a real family member would make Tsunade get out of her self-imposed exile. But she never even replied so maybe she was truly too far gone.
Rei knocked on the Hokage's office door and entered when the Hokage called out to her. She bowed before the Hokage respectfully, "Hokage-sama the test are done and-" The window behind the Hokage opened and the Toad Sage let himself in with an easy grin on his face.
"Sorry for interrupting, but someone is on her way and we should get ready." Jiraiya's face became serious, he felt Tsunade coming to the village and hoped that something bad hasn't happened for her to need to rush home.
Hiruzen's eyes widened for a second, so she didn't reply because she was coming herself. "She is? Well that would be because I sent her the same message that I sent to you, hoping that she would come home to the last remnants of her family." Said the Sandaime before taking out his pipe to begin to sooth his nerves.
Jiraiya's face became hopeful, he has been trying to get Tsunade to come home for years, "Well she should be here any minute." Feeling the Chakra of a certain Senju they waited for her to enter the office.
Tsunade was surprised that she wasn't stopped more on the way to the Hokage's office, she guessed that everyone either knew who she was or that they didn't want to get in her way. She didn't exactly have the most inviting aura right now.
Entering the office to see a doctor, her teammate and sensei looking at her and a huffing Shizune behind her. Tsunade was going at a very fast pace since she received the message and Shizune wasn't at the same stamina level of her master so her lungs were currently lecturing her about her cardio neglect.
"Okay what is this I hear about Naruto Uzumaki being related to Oji-san and awakening his Kekkei Genkai. And where is he?" Asked Tsunade. She wasn't going to be placated until she was answered so her expression stayed serious as she glared at the occupants of the office.
"Yes, well thank you for coming Tsunade-chan, Shizune-chan. I was about to hear from Rei here the results of the tests she has been running for the past few days that Naruto has been unconscious." Said Hiruzen. He took several puffs of his pipe as he looked over his office and the waves of nostalgia hit him hard. How many years had it been since so many members of Team Hiruzen were in the same room?
Tsunade was thinking that nobody else would be doing tests on Naruto while she was here. Who knows what they were really doing. Likely trying to harvest his genes to build some super wood using army. It wouldn't be the first time she thought humorlessly. That was another reason she stayed away from the village, after learning of the tests they were doing on Senju DNA like it wasn't from a person but a test subject.
"Well what are the results." Asked Tsunade almost fearing the results.
Rei cleared her throat, "I tested the blood of his mother Kushina Uzumaki and his own with Hashirama Senju. It appears that Kushina was a direct descendent of Hashirama-sama and Mito-sama. Naruto shares something with Hashirama-sama other than blood, being that they both have awakened the Kekkei Genkai Mokuton." She didn't bother telling them about the other connection since she couldn't really tell what it was and they had enough facts on their plates than some crack pot theory that would only complicate things further.
Tsunade was completely shocked, she has just found out that she had a nephew that has awakened her grandfathers Kekkei Genkai. She looked to her sensei with pleading eyes.
"Where is he." She all but demanded.
"He's in the hospital, I think awakening his Kekkei Genkai was too much for the little guy to handle and exhausted all of his Chakra when he activated it for the first time." Rei reported.
Hiruzen nodded, "How about we go and visit him then? Tsunade what do you plan on doing with him while you're here?" He was curious of his students intensions with his surrogate grandson.
Tsunade looked back from the doorway at her sensei, "I will make sure that I won't lose another one. I'll make sure this time. Lets go Shizune." She and Shizune left to head towards the Hospital with purpose. They were going to add one more to their little family.
The Hokage got up from his seat to go to Naruto's room, "This certainly is an interesting development, I hope she will stay because Naruto can't leave the village." Jiraiya just nodded and followed his sensei out. He too hoped for that, that way he knew that Naruto would be taken care of and he could rest easier while on his missions.
xXx
(Naruto's Hospital Room)
Naruto's eyes opened slowly, he had a killer headache and was confused about where he was. The last thing he remembered was training with Sasuke and Itachi then trying to activate his Chakra. Looking around the room he was about to get up and leave when the door opened.
Tsunade took a breath and entered the room expecting to see an unconscious little blond boy. Only to see big curious blue eyes staring at her curiously. She had to fight off the urge to squeal at how cute he looked, she walked over to him calmly and sat down in a chair by the bed.
"Hello Naruto-kun, my name is Tsunade Senju." Naruto's eyes widened comically. Jiji has told him about his team, she's one of the old man's students!
"You're one of the old man's students!" Naruto exclaimed in childish awe, she was someone from the stories the old man would tell him, it was like meeting a super hero.
Tsunade started chuckling at the little bond, "Yes I am Naruto-kun, I am also someone close to you." Naruto's eyes widened once again. She has blond hair like him she could be his mother! But he didn't say anything that would wake him up from the dream he was no doubt having.
"You are my nephew and a Senju like me. I have been wanting to meet you." Naruto was slightly upset that she wasn't his mother but was still happy that he has someone that is really his family. Not to mention that he was apparently a member of one of the most powerful and renowned clans in the Elemental Nations. The old man told him plenty about the Senju, and about his legendary sensei's.
Suddenly the door opened again breaking Naruto from his thoughts- in walked the old man and another old man with long spiky white hair that was like a lions mane.
"How are you feeling Naruto-kun? You gave everyone quite the scare." Asked Hiruzen. Naruto looked embarrassed that he made people worry, he didn't want that he wanted people to be happy not worry.
"Sorry, but Tsunade here said that I'm her nephew, is that true?" Naruto asked while he looked at the old man. When he saw the old man smile and nod, Naruto launched himself at Tsunade in a hug, inadvertently smothering himself between Tsunade's enormous breasts. Jiraiya was already incredibly proud and jealous of Naruto, he did something that Jiraiya has been fantasizing about since his twenties. Lucky blond just like his father.
Tsunade was surprised that the little blond launched himself at her but after getting over her shock she wrapped her arms around Naruto and held him close. Naruto was happier than he ever has been before, he has a real family something he has dreamt about for as long as he can remember. He pushed away his tears that were about to fall, he promised himself a long time ago that he would never cry again and he wouldn't break that for something that was good.
Hiruzen had a smile on his face seeing the little bond that he loved like a grandson finally have someone in his life that would care for him like he wished he could. Naruto let go of the hug, whipped his eyes and looked at Tsunade with a big smile.
"So does this mean I can stay with you?" He hated living alone it's too quiet for him and the unbearable loneliness was taking a tole on the blond.
Tsunade looked at Naruto for a few seconds thinking about that. She doubted that she would be able to take Naruto with her and Shizune on the road. So that would mean that she would have to stay in the village, something she really didn't want to do. But she would die before she left him alone to possibly die like her brother and fiancé. Or worse be treated like a living weapon constantly being experimented on.
"Yes Naru-chan. You can move into our family compound with me." Said a smiling Tsunade, she smirked slightly at the surprised expressions of the other people in the room.
Naruto blushed at the nickname but didn't say anything about it, only smiling wider. This was hands down the best day of his short life.
Shizune who had been quiet the entire time decided to introduce herself to the newest addition to her family.
"Hello Naruto-kun my name is Shizune." She said pleasantly and lifted Tonton up to so that she could see Naruto.
Naruto smiled at her then looked around, "When can I leave? I want to continue training with Sasuke and Itachi. We were practicing and-"
Tsunade interrupted before he could get going. "Oh no you don't, you just suffered chakra exhaustion, at least wait until tomorrow. We'll tell them that they can visit you though. We're going to have to get some things done and later you can get your things and we can get settled at the compound."
Naruto looks down at not being able to get to train but nods.
The older people all walk out leaving Naruto alone to wait for any visitors, while they went to get the necessary paper work done for Naruto to be recognized as a the new Senju Heir.
xXx
(Hokage Office)
Hiruzen sat down behind the desk, Tsunade and Jiraiya were waiting for the old man to get the paper work going. This would no doubt take forever.
"Tsunade I'm making you Naruto's legal Guardian. With you being his clan head as well, nothing the council could try to do would be legal without your official consent." Tsunade and Jiraiya were pleased to hear that. After all, Naruto will be wanted both inside and outside the village for his legendary Kekkei Genkai. One that made a man literally feared world wide.
The Hokage and the Sannin went through many different forms and contracts to change Naruto from Uzumaki to Senju. The bureaucracy of a shinobi village never ceased to be tedious and the Sandaime reveled in his students annoyed expressions. They were getting a taste of what he's dealt with for fifty years!
xXx
(Shopping District)
Sasuke was shopping with his mother, he has been worried about his friend for the past few days. No matter what his family said he couldn't get the scene of Naruto writhing in pain after activating his chakra out of his head. And of course the Hokage hasn't said anything regarding Naruto yet.
Suddenly an ANBU popped up in front of Sasuke and his mother making Sasuke jolt in surprise, "Mikoto-sama. Hokage-sama wanted to notify you that Naruto has woken up and is allowed to have visitors at the hospital. He wanted to see Sasuke if that was okay."
Sasuke looked at his mother with a pleading look. "Can we go visit Naruto? I want to see if he can tell me what happened." Mikoto smiled at her little boy and nodded her head.
xXx
(Naruto's Hospital Room)
Naruto was really bored, he wanted to continue training or at least go and visit his first friend. But his oba-san forbid him from leaving his room. Maybe he could sneak out later, it'll have to be at night with the cover of darkness.
Naruto looked towards the door when he heard it start to open and saw his friend stick his head in to peek around. Seeing that Naruto was indeed awake, Sasuke walked in with his mother behind him, "Hey Naruto, what happened to you the other day?"
Naruto still didn't actually know what happened himself, "I don't really know, but my Oba-san came back to the village and said that I will be living in our clan compound from now on." Replied Naruto while shrugging, all he knew was that he was fine and he was fine with that.
Mikoto's eyes widened, she didn't know Kushina had a sister, let alone one that was alive. "Who is your Oba-san Naruto-kun?" Questioned the Uchiha Matriarch.
"Tsunade Senju, she said that I'm related to her and a member of the Senju clan!" Announced Naruto with an ecstatic expression. Mikoto and Sasuke were shocked that the little blond was related to the Slug Sannin and a member of the Senju clan. That was certainly unexpected.
"Well Naruto don't think that you're going to be better than me! You may be a Senju but I'm an Uchiha and we're the best!" Sasuke didn't know why, but he felt compelled to say that.
Naruto got a fire in his eyes after hearing that. "No way! When Oba-san lets me start training again I will kick your butt and I will totally beat you in the academy when we start!" That's how the afternoon went for both of them, Naruto and Sasuke arguing back and forth about who would be better than the other with a sighing Mikoto listening along the whole time.
xXx
(2 weeks later: Senju Compound: Head Family House)
Naruto was in his new bedroom of his new house. he was getting dressed in his new outfit. It was a grey zip up short sleeve shirt with the Senju clan emblem on the back and dark blue pants with the bottoms taped off into his shinobi sandals. It was simple but sharp and Naruto really liked it, even though his oba-san refuse to allow him to wear any orange. It was totally a shinobi color!
The past two weeks were interesting in his opinion, his Oba-san made a very strong argument to the elders for them to politely fuck off from her nephew. The Hokage announced to the village that not only did Tsunade return to the village but that Naruto was now the heir to the Senju clan. Most didn't believe that the Jinchūriki was a Senju until the Hokage gave proof and now everyone was starting to love the fact that one of the founding clans has a new heir and that it hopefully wouldn't die out.
The Hyūga and the Uchiha were the most upset. The Hyūga's were upset because now there was a third clan that could rival them in power and prestige.
The Uchiha were mad because their rivals were making a comeback and they liked not having to deal with the hardheaded Senju. Especially with clan-village relations becoming more and more strained since the Kyuubi attack. If it got any worse, actions were going to be taken.
Naruto walked into the kitchen where one of Naruto's favorite people was making breakfast.
Shizune had became Naruto's honorary big sister a day after moving in, "Nee-chan where is Oba-san?" Normally Tsunade was awake already.
Shizune looked back from the kitchen, "She's getting ready, don't worry she'll take you for your first day at the academy." Naruto smiled happily and started to eat his breakfast.
Tsunade was getting dressed. She was wearing the same clothes she usually wore only having the Senju clan emblem on her green jacket under the Kanji for Gamble. She was now the head of the clan not the last surviving member she would have to represent.
Today was Naruto's first day at the academy, he has been extremely excited for the past two weeks. His training with Sasuke has gotten much more competitive since finding out about his family. Sasuke would get better at shurikenjutsu and Naruto would train in it harder, Naruto would be better in Taijutsu and Sasuke would train in it harder. Sasuke's father loved that his second son was pushing himself so hard to be better than the Senju and Tsunade would just sigh that Naruto would train almost every day.
Tsunade walked down stairs to the dining room, "Are you ready for your first day Naru-chan?" Naruto looked up from his food with a smile and nodded several times.
"Of course Oba-san! I can't wait." He's almost vibrating with excitement. This was another chance to make friends and he was ready.
"Well let's get going we don't want to be late right." Naruto nodded his head and ran to put his plate in the kitchen, he gave his nee-chan hug and ran out the door grabbing Tsunade's hand on the way out.
xXx
(Academy Entrance)
Naruto and Tsunade were walking together to the academy, with the young Henge and the matching blond hair, some could and have confused them as mother and son. Naruto was looking around at all the new students with their families dropping them off. He was ready, he was going to be the best and he was going to have all the friends.
Naruto was looking for Sasuke though, after spotting him with his mother and brother he ran over, "Hey Sasuke! You Ready?" Sasuke looked over to the familiar voice with a smirk.
"Of course I am, I have to be better than you after all." Challenged Sasuke with a smirk.
While Naruto and Sasuke were arguing back and forth Itachi looked Naruto over, 'He must not have been told yet, I can't wait until he becomes stronger, it will be very interesting to test myself against the fabled Mokuton.' He was told by the Hokage not to mention it to anyone till it was made public knowledge. They would most likely wait until Naruto had control over his abilities first and he was strong enough to defend himself.
Naruto and Sasuke were interrupted from arguing when both of them had their ears pulled, "Will you two cut it out you're going to be late to class, everyone has already started to go in." Tsunade said while Mikoto was berating her son at the same time.
Both of them rubbed their ears and apologized before running inside waving to their families.
