Seven: Naruto's return

The years seemed to come and go quickly but still no sign of Naruto. Minato began to make some major within the years that Naruto has been missing. He had a stern talking to with Menma and Nariko. They also read Naruto's letter. They both felt so bad about how they treated their own brother. The Uzumaki-Namikaze home went under a remodel making a room for Naruto. Minato also disbanded the civilian council when he found out that some of them help participate in the daily beatings of Naruto. He also took care of the traitor Danzo when it was discovered that he has been killing off the Uchiha to transplant their Sharningan eyes into his body. Also thanks to Fukagu and Itachi, some of the Uchiha clan was killed off when they threatened a que on the hokage and the leaf. Minato and Kushina worked with training Menma and Nariko to help support Naruto and protect him when the time came to complete the prophecy. Little did anyone realize that the long-lost child of prophecy would return. Jiraiya had found the young blond and helped in his training with the Kitsune clan. Jiraiya had told Naruto about the prophecy and worked with the young child teaching him sage mode. He also told Naruto about how he scolded his parents about how they treated him.

"It would take something monumental for me to forgive them. I don't think I could ever truly accept them as my family especially after everything that I went through. I'm going to return to the village only to show everybody there how wrong they were about me." Naruto explained.

Now Naruto was twelve years old and the ripe age to start his training in the academy to become a genin. Naruto traveled back with Jiraiya, Shuichi, Chizuru, Azusa, and Tomoe whom were the only ones fully capable of even looking totally human. The rest were going to be summoned once they had set up a home within the leaf. Jiraiya meet all of Kurama's children and grandchildren grateful that the Kitsune's were able to help take care of Naruto and accept him as family despite that he wasn't technically as he only had their father sealed within him. Jiraiya was a bit upset when Naruto wouldn't sign the toad contract stating he already had a fox one thanks to Kurama and his children.

"So, do you plan to use your original last name Naruto?" asked Jiraiya.

"I want no ties with them. My last name will be Kitsune." Naruto replied. Just before they got to the village, Naruto created a clone of Shuichi while the older teen transformed into his demonic form minus his ears and tail. Everyone was to refer to him as otosan (father) until they got to their new home within the village.

As they all approached the gate, both Kotesu and Izumo were actually on watch as they could see Jiraiya traveling with an older man and five children. One of the children bore a striking resemblance to the fourth hokage.

"Do you think that could be the fourth's lost son? He does look like the fourth and his children." stated Kotesu.

"I am not sure. I'll make a quick clone and alert the hokage." replied Izumo as he made a clone sending it over to the hokage tower with a message that Jiraiya had returned along with what looked to be his lost son.

"Lord Jiaiya welcome back. Who are these people with you?" asked Kotesu.

"This is Yoko Kitsune and his children Shuichi, Chizuru, Azusa, and Tomoe. I have a feeling that you already know the blonde." answered Jiraiya. Both Kotesu and Izumo took a good look at the blonde. He had the same three whisker marks on his cheeks that both Menma and Nariko had. The same spikey hair style as Menma and Minato. The same golden blonde locks as Minato and Nariko. And the same sapphire blue eyes as Minato and his children. Naruto wore a martial arts kimono top of orange with a black vest as it was tied with a red sash around his waist. He wore a pair of blueish-black fit pants as his feet were in a pair of full shinobi shoes. A pair of black and red arm guards sat on his lower arms (see picture above minus the headband). All of Yoko's children were dressed in the similar fashion as Naruto.
