~Reborn as Naruto~(we back!)

———————————————————

(Naruto POV:)

So, if you've been paying attention, you'd know that I've officially started living in my parents old home.

I waited to explore it though, just for you guys. Aren't I nice? Anyway, let's get to it. Hiruzen already left as well, it's just me then. Oh and Kurama, almost forgot about him.

I started walking around, starting in the living room, it was quite homey, wooden floor, grey walls and a lot of paintings, that weirdly, were all Kushina. There was a pretty dining table as well, it had a note on top of it.

'For my sochi' it read, most likely from Kushina. I'm curious though, since Hiruzen hasn't told me about Minato, he obviously thinks I'm not ready for that, huh? So, he most likely hid and took away everything about Minato from the house, messed up but whatever. Let's get to reading.

"Sochi, if you're reading this, something has happened to me or/and your father. First of, I am so sorry. You've probably suffered so much, but I want you to know that your father and I love you with all our hearts. I hope one day you'll find happiness. Let's forget the sad stuff for now, k?~Now your father and I left some gifts for you, just in case, you know? I've sealed my blade, the Burakkumūn, and my fūnin-jutsu theory. I want you to use them both, become stronger and achieve all your dreams, I'll support you no matter what. And remember, I'll always love you, sochi."

*sigh*

This is just sad. She knew that something would most likely happen during my birth. She knew someone would try something when Kurama's seal was weakened, she had to sacrifice more than half her life over something she had no control over. That just rubs me the wrong way.

I'm not a saint, nor hero, but I still dislike unfairness, like a normal person. Which I probably will have to work on considering I'm child-ninja killer.

I'll just continue for now, after I finished reading, I walked over to the kitchen. It had a built-in stove, and oddly enough, no cupboards, only racks to hold stuff. There were warm cup shaped lamps with candles.

Afterwards, I made my way to the next room, a pantry. All in all, it was gigantic, with tall walls coated in white paint alongside tons of white racks nailed against the walls. It had plentiful food as well.

I decided to check the date of the food. For curiositie's sake if you will, and I wasn't surprised to see that the food was dated years back, then I decided to smell the food. Not a good idea, I know, I was curious, though. Considering, I've never personally seen or smelt rotten food.

Opening the container with a bit of hesitation, I was surprised to find the food in good condition, but if I had to think about it, it makes sense, Kushina and Minato are seals masters, it's honestly weird, though. I can't see myself eating this food, maybe if I don't check the dates, I could make it work then.

Anyway, I moved upstairs after, coming across the master bedroom, the walls were a dark orange, which weirdly fit, a king-sized bed, and two closets with only one having any clothes. Hiruzen seriously even took Minato's clothes out of the house, I admire the determination.

After looking around for a bit I found nothing of interest, the next room on my list was mine, or supposed to be mine at least. It had dark blue walls, a white crib near the corner of the room with a small coffee table next to it with the same small candle lamp as earlier. The lamps on the roof had a different design all together, resembling the old lamp designs from my old world, but in white. It also had a cute black and white carpet with a bear on it.

When I finally finished, I went back downstairs, planning to get the note and the gifts from my mother. I grabbed the note and went to the living room.

There was no visible seal on the paper, I knew better, though. Most of the time, seals are hidden and are only shown when chakra circulates through them, like with mine. I began channelling some chakra into the paper, and boom. Some black ink spread across the paper.

*Poof*

A beautiful black blade with a golden hilt appeared, alongside a thick black book that read, "fūnin-jutsu, from zero to grandmaster."

I grabbed the sword and instantly felt my conscious being transferred to my mindscape, the feeling was too familiar for me to not be able to identify it.

In my mind, I was met with Kurama and--Woah, when I say woah I meant woah, the most beautiful girl I've ever gazed upon stood before me, she had beautiful black hair and eyes, her features were so simple yet intense, her hair went to her shoulders, her eyes were deep and magnetic, her body seemed way above average as well.

"Hi? Uh, what are you doing in my mind?"

I questioned feeling a bit self-conscious. She chuckled, which sent a spark down my spine, before answering.

"To put it simply, I am your will, your intent, your soul. A part of you, I am your blade, Burakkumūn."

"Wait, what? You're confusing me. If what you're saying is true, how come there aren't any documents or recordings of you?" yeah, I was reaching, I knew full well that what she was saying was possible. Still, I wanted more info, it was best to act ignorant.

"Well, you are the first to wield me as an extension of your soul, none of the others have ever, not even your mother." she seemed to gauge what I wanted to do, but why is Kurama this quiet? I mean, there's a whole other person in your private space?

"Ninetails, do you know anything about this?" I already had an idea of what she, the blade was, it's obviously similar to a zanpakuto from bleach, the only logical conclusion is that–

It's one of the sage's tools.

"It's one of the sage's tools. He created these tools which were passed through the generations. How it ended up in the Uzumaki hands, even I don't know." Wow, who knew the fox could be useless, I'm definitely gonna remember this and tease him once we're friends.

"I guess it doesn't matter, as long as she doesn't mean any harm." and it was my mother's go-to weapon, even if I didn't use it, I'd keep it as a memento.

"Now then, I believe I should explain how you are to meet the prerequisites to wield my power. You must call my name, only then can you use my power." Well, I knew that, I watched bleach in my past life lady, but that means Burakkumūn is just the blades name, not hers.

Suddenly, I felt my connection beginning to waver, "Wait I have more questions." I saw her smirk a bit, "They can wait, buh-bye now.~"

My eyes flew open, I was sweaty. I quickly washed my face in the bathroom before hearing a voice in my head, "Freshen up already, we're starting training today." You know what? I'm not even surprised, I was waiting for this if I'm honest.
