One Who Shapes The Future

Chapter 5: October 10th

"Uzumaki heritage?" Kakashi asked, an eyebrow raised.

Naruto nodded. "The Uzumaki clan were a powerful people of Uzushiogakure No Sato, which was actually in Nami No Kuni." Tazuna was surprised. His country held a Hidden Village at one point? "It took the combined efforts of Kiri, Kumo and Iwa to take them down, and even then they took down 2/3 of the people that attacked with them. After their defeat, the survivors scattered."

Sayuko frowned. "That isn't the story we want Naruto. Tell us. How do you know Zabuza?"

Naruto sighed. "It all began the day I blew up a house."

Kakashi's eyes widened. "YOU WHAT?!"

Naruto held up a hand. "Let me finish."

Kakashi calmed down and looked at him. "Sorry, go on."

"As I was saying, it began the day I blew up a house..."

Magen: Flashback No Jutsu!

A nine year old Naruto stood outside a ruined building. Windows were shattered, large holes in the walls, the building was a sickly grey color. The Uzumaki stared at the building. "This is where my father and mother were nearly killed, that's what you said. Right Kurama-sensei?"

'Yes,' The bijuu told him.

"Then let it be forgotten," he made the ram seal. "KATSU!" The building shook violently before blowing up. People screamed in panic and began running around, feeling they were under attack. The blonde turned and walked away from the building. After a minute or so, he felt a presence following him, and left the village quickly, going deep into the forest.

Once deep enough, he turned. "Come out! I know your there!"

Two people jumped from the trees. A man, and a young girl. "Not bad kid," the man said in a deep voice. "I saw what you did to that building, and I like your style. What's your name?"

Naruto stared at him. "Isn't it common courtesy to give your name before asking someone else's?"

The man grinned beneath the bandages covering the lower half of his face. "Cocky brat. Fine. I'm Mimochi Zabuza, and this is my adopted daughter, Mimochi Hakui." The girl nodded to him. "Now your name?"

"...Uzumaki Naruto," the blonde told them, and Zabuza's eyes widened in shock before calming.

"Don't lie kid," Zabuza told him. "Uzumaki have straight red hair, not blonde and spiky like yours."

Naruto growled. "My mother was an Uzumaki, I got strong genes from my father in the regard of my hair."

"And who were your parents?" Zabuza said, hoping to catch him out.

"Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato," Naruto snapped, and Zabuza froze.

'H-his parents are the Yondaime Hokage and Konoha's Red Death?!' Zabuza was quite afraid of this boy all of a sudden. Someone born from those two people...was bound to be powerful.

"What's wrong Tou-san?" The girl asked, worried by her father's face.

"So Naruto," Zabuza said, calming down and ignoring his daughter, which made her pout. "What are you doing so far from Konoha?"

Naruto snorted. "Like those bastards give a fuck about me." The tone in which he spoke make even Zabuza's blood run cold. "And for your information, I am technically still there, I merely have a clone in my place. At least he will remain there until I return in three years."
