Return of The Uzumaki Clan

Matters of the Past/Wave Arc 4

(Naruto POV) 

Walking in the woods right after leaving Tazuna's house, I start by making 20 clones that transform to small animals that start going around the town looking for any signs of Gato's men. While they are doing that I start my trek to Uzushiogakure. Half way through, I get the info that the clone gave me after it released the jutsu that I left at the house. With some small irritation, I just sigh which Kuruma seems to wonder what is on my mine.

"Naruto what bothers you in this situation? They all they did was find out more about you." "It's how late they start to show interest in me that is annoying. The fact that they don't know yet I'm the son of the 4th Hokage is a relieve honestly since I assume they will not stop bothering me with questions." "Maybe they will think better of you though. I mean before you were an orphan that was loud and as the Nara say, troublesome. Now they know that you come from a prestigious clan and also being a prince." "Probably they will, but that is also what will bother me and something I noticed will start to occur when I inform everyone of all my heritage."

"Oh and how will it be bothersome?" as Kurama with an interest in his tone.  

"One of the special circumstances that occur in the art of deception is to show one's true character. They will finally want to know me and get close to me as they see I have now worth for them or just not a bother anymore. It could be out of interest, pity, or guilt." I started with my tone getting colder. "There are 2 types of ways people look at others that defines a person's character to another. One of them is just by just using basic senses like seeing, hearing, and smelling to judge someone either when they first meet them or when they around others. Most of the time that is how most are and usually that decides if they like the person for a pretty long time."

"Now next is one that takes sometimes time to achieve except for a few. That would be insight and curiosity. It is trying to understand a person from wondering why a person does things or like Kakashi has stated, looking underneath the underneath. It is difficult for people to look in depth to what others do because that most of the time they trust what they see or hear or even just smell. Most of them never wanted to know about me before they knew my history. They only assume they already knew me."

"I only want a genuine relationship not one based on my history like they would with the damn Uchiha bastard. It's just a matter of time to see how things go from here on out." "You won't forgive them yet then." Kurama stated after hearing what I said.

"Yea I can't honestly blame them when they were kids. They were still kids that depended on their parents to determine what to like or dislike. Like Sakura's mother probably influencing Sakura to chase after the Uchiha for power as she has before. The beatings though I will return that is for sure when the chances appear." I said with a amused smirk which Kurama responded with as well.

"You probably are one of the most interesting human I have ever met. Ever the entertaining and meddlesome host hahahaha." I just chuckled with him. 

Half a day in the trip, one of my clones popped informing me they found most of the men that responded to Gato and the base they were at. I make another clone and allow him to Haraishin back to the town so they can proceed with plans to take out all the men slowly. The clones will then take over those they kill by transforming so they can lay traps in the enemy lines. The rest of the day till night time led to kills from grunts and a few clones to infuriate their base already. For me, I was just at the entrance of the bridge that leads to Uzu. I decided to rest and wait until morning before I venture a bit in the ruins of his clans village.

Next Day

Waking up I start to do my morning routine and clean up the campsite. Coming up to the bridge, its a long and wide while stone bridge with railings that used to have designs on them but with old age and maybe damage from the invasion, you can barely tell. Once I come up to it, I swipe my palm with a kunai so I can bleed and put my hand at a barrier that appeared in front of me. Afterward, the barrier open up with an opening for just one person only. Crossing through the barrier I look back as the barrier closed itself allowing no one else to go through again.
