Chapter 7: Chapter:7 hokage?
"Kakashi what I am about to tell you is one of the biggest secrets of Konoha. Only I and Jiraya know about this, but as you are Naruto's guardian and you already know this much I will tell you the truth. This is an SS-rank secret, so I wouldn't need to remind you the penalties would I?" asked Hiruzen sternly and Kakashi immediately nodded.
"What do you know of Minato's parents?" asked Hiruzen seriously,
"Sensei was an orphan whose parents died in the second shinobi world war."said Kakashi simply and Hiruzen nodded
"Yes you are correct. Minato's parents died in the second shinobi world war but the more important thing is the identity of his parents."said Hiruzen suggestively
"Who were they?" asked Kakashi cautiously
"Yamato Namikaze and Rei Uchiha."said Hiruzen shocking Kakashi to the core
"Now I know why Minato sensei understood Obito better than me."thought Kakashi in surprise
"Rei Uchiha?"asked Kakashi curiously
"Her identity is not known by many people as she was banished from the Uchiha clan." explained Hiruzen slowly
"Why was she banished Hokage-sama?"asked Kakashi curiously
"Because of her lineage."said Hiruzen sadly
"What lineage?"asked Kakashi
"She is the daughter of Izuna Uchiha."said Hiruzen nervously
"Izuna Uchiha?"asked Kakashi
"He..he was the younger brother of Madara Uchiha."stated Hiruzen darkly
Kakashi was frozen on his place, the man was a legend and the thing he had just found was a great shock to him.
"Hokage-sama, so Naruto is the great-grandnephew of Madara Uchiha?"asked Kakashi nervously
"Hai, Izuna died during the war-torn era, this was before the formation of the hidden leaf village by the Uchiha and the Senju clans. But when Madara defected from the village, Rei was ostracized from the clan as she was Madara's niece and was banished from the clan after some time. She after sometime met a young jounin who was Yamato Namikaze, Minato's father, he was the clan head of the Namikaze clan. The Namikaze were not a big clan and were not quite famous at that time. They fell in love with each other and married discreetly with only me knowing of this as I was the hokage. But during the second war they died, and Minato became an orphan."said Hiruzen briefly and took a puff from his pipe.
"In order to protect Minato from the Uchiha, his identity was kept secret with only me, Jiraya, Minato and Kushina knowing this; also he was not able to awaken the sharingan so no one knew."said Hiruzen seriously
"So Naruto is the descendant of the Namikaze, Uchiha and the Uzumaki clans?" asked Kakashi in shock
"Yes and it must remain a secret until Naruto is old enough to understand this. And I must not explain it to you what would happen if the Uchiha came to know of this. They would demand Naruto to be taken into their clan and will use him as a weapon just like Danzo. Also they have been acting suspiciously a lot."said Hiruzen muttering the last line silently so Kakashi couldn't hear and was successful.
"I understand, but what should we do now?"asked Kakashi worriedly
"Train him in using the sharingan discreetly and if he asks any questions tell him they will be answered when he becomes a chunin. If he persists send him to me. Kakashi no one else should know of this, Naruto's sharingan should not become public knowledge as the council would then surely have another reason to turn him into a weapon and this time Danzo won't stop. He already sent his operatives today to test Naruto's skill. I'll keep an eye on him."said Hiruzen tiredly
"Understood Hokage-sama, I will train him and he will be entering the academy next year with his friends. I want him to be with his true friends and have a normal childhood. But I will also try to not make him entirely dependent on the sharingan"said Kakashi seriously.
"I'll have to inform Jiraya."thought Hiruzen sharply
"Agreed, you are dismissed Kakashi."said Hiruzen and Kakashi bowed and left the office
Hiruzen sighed, he was tired and looking at the paperwork in front of him, he groaned.
HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOYED IT.
