Naruto: Varying ideals

Ch-14

Naruto was finally a member of Conservative forces now. How would Naruto's impulsive decision to save his mother affect his life? How long will he be able to hide his identity? And when they find out who he is...

Naruto had left all those questions in the hands of fate now. As he walked with Hiashi , Gaara and Ohnoki he kept a close look on their movements. He had zero trust in any of them, "where are we going?" he asked.

"To Hyuga mansion. It's where all of us Hyugas live. If you want you can live there too along with your mother" said Hiashi to which Naruto refused . "Who will I train with?" Asked Naruto.

"No you won't receive training there. You will be more like a final fighter in the students test. If you want to receive training then you will have to become a student...which means you will have to become a Champion" said Hiashi.

Naruto didn't respond quickly as he wanted to learn the Hyuga style. The fighter within him was hungry to learn more and more styles. "Come on it will be a good opportunity you know. You are the first non Hyuga to have received an offer to be a student here." Said Gaara as he placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"No I don't want to" he said before saying "mister...about the doctor"

"Oh yes don't worry about that. I will have it arranged for you. Since you don't want to tell us the location you will have to take him there yourself" said Hiashi.

"What should we call you kid?" Asked Ohnoki.
"Um.." Naruto thought for a while. Since these people knew Minato personally they definitely knew about his child's name "you can just call me Uzumaki" everyone looked at him as he said his name.

"Are you an Uzumaki child?" Asked Ohnoki to which Naruto nodded in agreement. "So you survived the Uzumaki massacre! How many are there with you?" Asked Gaara to which Naruto answered "just me and my mother".

It was more clear to the group now why the boy was so reluctant to become Champion....after all it was the reason that caused that massacre.

"Here we are" Finally the group had reached the Hyuga mansion. Naruto just looked in awe at the huge expanse of the estate. All his life he had just seen small one room houses but what he looked at now was out of his imagination. As he walked in he saw several training grounds where students were training. It was full of equipments and energy. Hiashi smiled at Ohnoki as they saw Naruto looking here and there in fascination.

Hiashi had purposefully brought Naruto through this entrance so he could see what fighters love to see 'I will make sure you join us Uzumaki'.

Soon they reached a big traditional Japanese house. It was difficult in this age to see such a neat house. "Come in" said Hiashi as they walked in.

'Wow!' Naruto looked around him he saw beautiful paintings of fighting styles, more advanced equipments and students sitting at the periphery of the wooden floorings. What caught Naruto's attention was a small girl in the middle of the room sparring against another student.

"She is Hanabi my daughter" Hiashi continued "younger sister of Hinata. Don't get fooled by her size she is very good in her technique".

"Is this room different than those open training grounds?" Asked Naruto.

"Yeah. Except for Hanabi everyone here is test finalists....along with Neji and Hinata. Only the finalists are allowed to practice here." Said Hiashi.

"What happens when they pass the test?" Asked Naruto

"they are promoted to stage 2 which is the last stage. Until now everyone cleared stage 1 by scoring 3 points against one of our instructors. It was easy for them because instructors had to restrain themselves from inflicting any serious damage but not now..." Hiashi continued as he looked at Naruto and smiled evily "now that you are there who is of same age as them you can go as hard as you want. Teach them that life is rough and don't let anyone come out of stage 1 easily"
