When Inoichi returned, he gathered the four members of Team 7 and got them all in his office. He looked over each one before letting out a sigh. Sakura was staring at Sasuke who has a light shade of pink dusting his cheeks as Kakashi was looking at his floor as Naruto joined him.
"I've already taken the results and everything found out to Tsunade for her to look into. I've also recommend that the results are shared with all of you."
"What! Why?" Naruto cried out, attracting suspicious glances from his team mates.
"Well for starters it's not healthy to keep everything bottled up inside and secondly you're a team. You can all help each other."
"But I don't need any help seeing as I'm perfectly fine." Sakura replied.
"Well that's not entirely true. If you would all let me blunt about everything. None of you are by any definition stable." Inoichi stated.
"I have gained permission to talk about everything relating to everyone in this room." He continued
"No you can't! Why would you do this to me?" Naruto panicked, attempting to escape only to be intervened by Kakashi.
"What's he talking about?" Sakura sneered. "As if anything important has to do with the dobe."
"Does this have to do with why everyone talks bad about him?" Sasuke questioned.
"As if. It's probably because he's a no good trouble maker since he never had parents to tell him off." She added with a chuckle.
Inoichi frowned. " you do realize that you're the only one in your team with parents right?"
Her eyes widened in realization that she'd forgotten that Sasuke's patents were murdered.
"Kakashi, would you care to explain to her?" Inoichi added.
"I never knew my mother and my father committed suicide when I was five. Naruto's parents died the night he was born and Sasuke was the only surviver of the Uchiha massacre."
"You don't have patents Kakashi-Sensei?"
"It's not that common for ninja to still have parents if they come from a family of ninja." Kakashi replied.
"Well now that that is out of the way, if you'd all like to get everything started. I'll do Naruto first so that he can maybe calm down." Though this only made him thrash harder in an attempt to get away.
"Naruto I need you to take off your shirt."
"No you can't make me!" He yelled.
"If you don't do it willingly I can always do it forcefully." This stopped the trashing, but a haunted look filled his eyes as silent tears ran down his cheeks. His teammates looked shocked to see their joyous blond breaking down in front of them, even Kakashi's grip loosened a little.
"Now don't worry. I won't hurt you, I'm simply going to remove your jacket and shirt." Inoichi calmed, staying still till Naruto nodded an okay. He gave a small smile before slowly approaching and unzipping the jacket and pulling it off the boy's surprisingly small shoulders. Afterwards he lifted the thin black shirt to reveal ribs and old scars.
The two other Genin's mouths dropped in surprise at the state of their teammate. Feeling embarrassed that this secret was out, he tried to cover himself with his thin arms, not liking the way the were staring at him.
"Now Naruto, I'm going to show the seal by touching you with some chakra okay?" Inoichi asked, repeating the process of waiting then slowly acting. As his fingers touched the boy's stomach, a seal appeared.
"From the reports of your missions, you've already seen the readable if this seal at least twice. The first time being on your mission to the land of wave, the second being during the Chunin exam in the forest of death."
Naruto watched their faces and waited for Sasuke to demand the power he has and Sakura to scream at him. "What does the seal do?" Sasuke asked, surprising the young blond.
"You've all heard the story of how the fourth killed the Kyubi right? Well that's not the case. The tailed beasts can only be sealed not killed. In this case, the kyubi was sealed into Naruto, the son of the fourth Hokage." Inoichi explained.
"Wait my dad was the forth?" Naruto gaped.
"Yes and your mother was Uzumaki, princess of Uzushiogakure."
"When I said that all secrets would come out, I meant it. I hope you understand that it was for your protection. If everyone had known the fourth had a son there would be no telling how many assassination attempts here would be." Inoichi explained.
"I have a mum and a dad?" Naruto asked unbelieving.
"Yes. You even have a clan. They may have been scattered after the destruction of their homeland, but I'm sure some are still out there. You can usually tell if someone has Uzumaki blood if they have red hair."
"I have a family?" He cried, his frail body shaking.
"Indeed. Naruto, I need to ask you to turn around so that everyone can see the full extent of the scars."
Nodding, he slowly turned, exposing the scars on his back. 'Demon', 'Murderer', 'Monster', 'Fat', 'Death', and 'Waste of space' written on his back. Apparently more words were carved into the boy's back since that memory he entered.
"Why isn't the Kyubi healing the scars?" Kakashi asked, confused and outraged at the state of his youngest student.
"When the Kyubi heals me, it's like the cells are being created at an accelerated rate leading the new skin to be a different colour than the rest. So while I don't have any scar tissue, the colour of my skin isn't completely transfered into the new cell till later." Naruto replied, actually sounding smart.
"Naruto, I need to ask this, but have you been in contact with the Kyubi?" Inoichi asked.
"I uh I um yes? But he's not what you think! He was being controlled by a guy claiming to be Madara." Naruto defended.
"Why didn't you say anything about this earlier?" Kakashi gaped.
"Well one, you wouldn't have believed me and two, if word got out that I was talking with the Kyubi then the beatings would have gotten worse and more frequent and the council would either send me off to ROOT or put me to death."
"How do you know about ROOT? And wasn't it disbanded?"
"It wasn't and I know because Danzo keeps trying to get me to join. He even brought someone our age to show me that I could join."
"Hokage-Sama needs to hear this." Inoichi muttered. "Well that's pretty much it for you. We'll talk solutions later. Now to continue, I think we'll go to Kakashi next."
"Why me?"
"Well now that the hardest one is out of the way, I'd like a more straight forward case before dealing with the other two."
"Fine, lets just get this over with." Kakashi sighed as he handed Naruto his shirt and jacket for his student to put on.
"Well because of your father's suicide, it's expected that you never had a childhood and with the circumstances of the event you followed rules to the letter. This rapid lifestyle change points to mild PTSD. Though it only became worse after the death of your two teammates. Well supposed deaths. I believe that this caused you to take on the personality of your teammates as if to convince yourself that they were still apart of you. With all the deaths that surrounded you it would be normal to become depressed but since you never got help for it, it's festered into commitment issues."
"But I'm not in a relationship."
"That's not what I mean. By saying that you have issues with commitment, I'm saying that you have trouble doing anything that may be long term and repetitive. This includes Genin teams, friendships, and other mundane tasks."
Frowning, Kakashi began to wonder if that was true. He had failed several teams because they weren't up to his standards but did the thought of committing to a team mean he made things harder?
Regardless to the thoughts of Kakashi, Inoichi continued. "You probably also feel guilty about not being able to look after Naruto when he was younger. But considering your age at the time, you wouldn't have been able to look after a new born. You probably also feel guilty about the Uchiha massacre and not helping Sasuke since Obito was or is an Uchiha. But then thought that it wouldn't be right since you didn't look after Naruto."
"I..." He began to defend himself but didn't even know what to say. Should he apologize to Naruto and Sasuke for not being there for them when they needed him the most? Should he be offended by the accusations and say he was not in the right state of mind to be looking after children. He just didn't know.
"Don't worry about the past so much. There was no way to save Obito and there was no way for you to have known Rin would purposely jump in front of your Jutsu. There was also no way for you to be able to take Minato-Sama's place. We just need to get these things out there so that we can help you." Inoichi sympathized. At this the other man nodded and muttered his apologizes to the two boys and promised to do better.
"Next I'd like to talk about Sakura. Your obsession with your teammate us what's going to pull your team apart. You're at the point were you will over look anything so that he stays perfect in you mind even to the point of physically abusing your other teammate for constructive criticism. If this continues it could lead to the death of either you or your teammates."
"How would you know that?"
Sakura frowned, not liking where this was going.
"You obsession causes you to miss out on possible training. You diet to be thin, something unexeptable of a ninja in training. Ninjas have to eat lots so that the energy gained can be used in training. While training is much harder that dieting, it gives better results."
She thought about this for a minute as she tried to figure out s counter argument. Unfortunately for her, the man continued. "It has also come to my attention that some of your obsessive habits make the person of you affection uncomfortable."
"That's not true. Stop making things up!" She snapped, her inner personality coming through. The abrasive tone Sakura used caused Naruto to all but jump into Kakashi's lap as Sasuke scouted away from the girl. Noticing the sudden distance between her and her crush, her eyes widened at the realization of her actions. "I don't make you uncomfortable right Sasuke-Kun?" Sakura asked, hoping that she was right.
"Honestly, yes. Especially since I don't like girls." Sasuke replied quietly. Her eyebrows raised when she figured out the meaning of his words. Behind him, Kakashi brought out an undisclosed amount of money and handed it to Naruto who pocketed it quickly, this however did not escape Inoichi's attention.
"So you knew, Naruto?"
"Well yea. I told Kakashi-Sensei when we first became Genin. He disagreed with me saying that Sasuke talked about restoring his clan, so we made a bet and I never loose a bet." Sasuke's cheeks were dusted with a light pink hearing that his teammate already knew. "It's fine though, heck even I wouldn't mind which gender if could date." He muttered darkly.
"Well since you came out your self, I'll wrap this up with you. Sasuke, I'm guessing that even though you were told that being gay was wrong, after seeing your brother and Shisui, you didn't really care but since the memory was locked, you didn't understand why you thought that and began to listen to the others even though you had a constant nagging feeling that it was okay. Speaking of Itachi, a full investigation will be going in and reopening the massacre case to try and find new information. I'll also tell Hokage-Sama to look into Danzo because of the new information that Naruto has brought to light." Both Sasuke and Naruto nodded in agreement as Kakashi silently thought it over and Sakura wondered who Danzo was.
"Well any way, I'd like to inform you if you treatment. Sasuke and Naruto, you'll be living in the Namikaze clan house along with Kakashi. Sakura I'm going to assign Tsume Inuzaka as a personal instructor to rid you of your obsession. I'll also be talking to Hokage-Sama about giving the Uchiha clan head seat to Sasuke and the Uzumaki and Namikaze seats to Naruto. Kakashi, you're going to have to limit your self to visiting the graveyard to once a week. Then after a while make it once a month. At least one of you are to accompany Naruto at all times while in the village till I say other wise. I'd like to see how this goes before I change anything. You're all free to leave, but I expect you all to be honest with each other about what your feeling." With that said and down, Inoichi shushined to the awaiting Hokage while team 7 looked around awkwardly till Kakashi spoke.
"Well shall I show you the clan house? I've been there before." Everyone nodded and followed the man via roof top, not wanting to see the villagers at the moment.
