As the people that he called for were now gathered infront of him, he decided to discuss the more serious parts of the Future Facet.

"I hope you know why I asked for your presence?" he questioned staring ahead and making eye contact with them all.

"I assume it is about the Future Facet?"

"It is." the Hokage nodded slightly. "The Future Facet... I would like to know if you have noticed any suspicious behavior lately? Something that might be connected to this.."

"Are you suspecting one of us, Hokage-sama? This is degrading, I will rather you keep an eye on Ayako instead." Fugaku scowled. After all the Uchiha did for the village, they are still getting blamed for everything. 

No one reprimanded him, all of them could sense that there was another underlying reason to his outburst.

"This isn't me accusing you, Uchiha-sama. I would request you to not let that matter affect the one now at hand." 

Hiashi was awfully quiet today. Inoichi observed the man and wondered what had gotten into him.

Will they bring the Hyuga into this too? I will not allow it.

"Hokage-sama if I may, I agree with keeping a keen eye on Ayako." Shikaku interjected. "Ever since she came here, there is this feeling that things aren't the same. And I feel you must all agree with it."

Hiashi commented,"With how she came running the day of Hinata's attempted kidnapping."

Fugaku added, "Revealing not much of what she knows and nothing of how she knows."

"This all points to one conclusion. She.. even if she might not be the cause.. plays a major and important role in the current events." 

The same thought was  in their heads as they concluded their meeting,                                                       Who actually was Ayako?

An enraged nine tails can be seen behind bars. Infront of it, a man who looks like the Fourth Hokage and Naruto can be seen.

"Is that the Nine Tails?!"

"What's it doing with Naruto?!"

The adults panicked on the inside, they weren't ready for this.

"I guess it was bound to happen anyway." The hokage rubbed his head.

"What?" Naruto questioned curious and interested.

"My guess is that you'll find out soon, but if you don't...."

"I worked it into the seal spell so that I would appear within your psyche, should the seal ever be broken to the point your sprouted the eight tails. I really wanted to avoid that since I had no desire to see you again ... nine tails. But then, I did look forward to seeing my son as a young man. So, I'll call it even."

"My son?!" TenTen yelled connecting the dots.

This created a domino effect.

"Ohhhh, I guess that makes sense." Shikmaru drawled as he opened his eyes only a tiny bit before going back to close it again. How he could still sleep or at least pretend to while sitting and without any support was beyond the intelligence of others.

"No-no-that can't be true, Shikamaru." Kiba said with a shake of his head.

"It is." Choji said, taking his friend's side. The signs were clear, even he could figure it out.

"What's true?!" Naruto said feeling frustrated. Why was he the only one who hadn't figured it out yet? It was clearly about him, shouldn't he know?

"Naruto.... my name.... how come the Fourth Hokage knows my name?"

"Hmm.. well, I'm the one who named you. You are my son after all."

"The fourth Hokage is my father?!" Naruto yelled pointing at the screen.

"Seems like it."

"But then-then.." why do the villagers avoid me? I'm the hero's son right?...

"Son, then... I'm...."

"Yes. You heard me.
You're my son."

"This is such a beautiful moment." a whisper could be heard.

"It is not."

The scene then changes to the father and son duo in a different scenery.

"Third Hokage didn't tell you much of anything, did he? I guess he wanted to suppress as much information about the nine tails as possible. If people had found out you were my son, you'd have been in danger."

"The nine tails?"

"I wished to avoid this conversation as long as I could have."

"Spill it out, old man!" Naruto said with childish annoyance on his face. He didn't think it could be that big... The old man wasn't a bad person, he was the Hokage. Of course he wouldn't keep a secret that would make every single reaction of the villagers towards him clear right?

"Well, we would have to start with the tail beasts. What do you all know about it?" The Hokage asked turning to the kids.

"They are chakra monsters.... And there are 9 of them." Sakura raised her hand.

"The fourth hokage saved the Leaf from the nine tails six year ago!" Naruto contributed, the fourth was his idol. He knew about this.

"And how do we stop the havoc a nine tails would wreck?"

When no one answered, Jiraiya looked around and filled in, "They are sealed."

At their confusing glances, the hokage continued, "The first Hokage's wife, Uzumaki Mito-"

"She has the same last name as me!"

"-was the first jinchuriki of the nine tails beast."

"Jinchuriki?"

"A jinchuriki is someone who holds the tail beasts inside of them so it doesn't hurt anyone else."

"You mean-?" Neji caught up.
"Yes, it is exactly what you are thinking now, the nine tails beasts was sealed inside a baby Naruto."

"Wai-wait me?" Is that why the villagers look so scared of me? Why they don't let me play with their kids...

T- Th- they fear me.......

He felt some glances on him by his peers, noticing this the Hokage said in a stern tone, "Just because he is the carrier does not mean he is the nine tails. The nine tails and Naruto are not the same."

Noticing the still doubtful faces present in some faces, "Do not doubt the Fourth Hokage."

That seemed to do the trick, most of then were here with their guardians who did not have a problem with the blonde boy, giving them no reason to hate the boy.

The Hokage looked happy with the way the room was but when he saw Naruto's expression, he softened. "Naruto-"

"But why me?" He asked with a broken look on his face, surprising the others who always saw him with an annoying cheeky grin on his face.

"You were his son. He couldn't ask someone else to give their baby. And your mother was an Uzumaki, you have  the Uzumaki blood running in you, making you the perfect person to be a jinchurki. You are special."

"My mother?"

"Uzumaki Kushina was a beautiful lady, Naruto. She was kind of like you. You look like your father but you still have a lot of her features present in you." Mikoto told him with a softened gaze.

"Can you tell me more about her?" Naruto asked worried she would turn him down.

"If you wish, I could after we're done." She replied looking at him with a smile, the kind he saw on other mother's faces when they saw their kids.

"Yes! Thank you!" He said jumping up from his seat in a brashly loud voice.

"Dad.." out of nowhere Naruto quickly moves forward and delivers a punch to Minato's gut.

"Ouch, that must have hurt." comments Shisui while clutching the part of his, where the older version of Naruto punched his father.

"Can't say he didn't deserve it." adds in  Ayako.

"Why did you seal the nine tails inside your own son?! Do you know what I went through because of that?! All the grown ups looked at me with contempt.. And I couldn't make any friends."

People gave him sad looks and Naruto turned away. He didn't want them to think he was weak.

"I wanted people to accept me so I trained really hard to become strong. Then I met Iruka sensei, Kakashi sensei and Pervy Sage..."

The book dropped from the masked man's hands. Others stared at him, "Kakashi!! My youthful rival!! Your river of youth seems seems to be never-ending! You've decided to pass down your youthfulness!!!"

"and I was happy because they helped me become stronger! But because of that, a group called the Akatsuki came after me so I had to train even more."

"Akatsuki?" "Why? Have you heard of them Jiraiya?" "I've only heard about them being a mercenary group, not about them being... whatever this means." He waved his hand around.

"I got to be even stronger but the Akatsuki still killed my friends."

"Killed your friends?" Ayako felt her body shiver.

"So some of us die?" Hinata voiced out. Her tone, barely above a whisper.

"But huh.. what am I saying? Dammit, am I supposed to be happy or mad?!"

"That's... Naruto... I feel bad for him. But I know from what we have seen and are seeing, that this has just made him stronger."

"If this is what it takes to get stronger then it's not worth it. That poor boy..."

"Naruto, how old are you now?"

"Sixteen..."

"That's not that far into the future, he's already 6 now."

"That means we have to take action as soon as we can."

"Sixteen.. huh....
It must have been hard for you...
I am really sorry, Naruto.
I suppose after putting you through so much. I have no right to call myself a father and apologize. I sealed half of the Nine Tails Chakra inside of you because I believed you could control its power.
Because you are my son..."

"Well, I guess that makes it all better." TenTen said sarcasm laced into her voice.

"And there is a reason why I did that.
When the nine tails attacked the village sixteen years ago, I learned something. There was a mastermind who manipulated the nine-tails to attack the village."

"Did you know about this?"

"No, I didn't. Hokage-sama?"

"I was not aware of it either, I couldn't go in. Minato was alone with Kushina."

"A powerful ninja at that, it would require special skills of power to go up against such an opponent. And I believe that he would attack the village again."

"This is important. The Fourth Hokage was the one who would know about that day more than anyone."

"The Leaf Village has already been destroyed."

"What?! The Leaf! How?!"

"Yes, I watched from inside you."

"That sounds very weird."

"You watched?"

"I know about Jiraiya sensei too."

"What about me?" questions Jiraiya to no one in particular.

"Then was it Pain who used the Nine Tails to attack the village before?"

"Does anyone know of anyone called Pain?"

"Not really." "No."

"No.. it wasn't him."

"Then who was it?!

"One of the Akatsuki. The one with the mask."

A picture of a person wearing an orange mask can be seen from Naruto's memories.

"Has anyone here seen anyone like this guy?"

"No." "I have not." "Maybe he doesn't get into action himself and is the mastermind."

"He doesn't really look evil."

"Looks and actions can be deceiving. And are actually mean to BE deceiving." Shisui stated.

"Back then.... he read through every move I made. That man is no ordinary ninja. This man is probably just using Pain"

"No! Pain had a grudge against the hidden leaf!"

"Because of that hatred, he's being used."

"Used?! Someone strong like him?!"

"And what about the mastermind masked ninja? Why is everyone attacking the leaf?"

"Perhaps as long as there exist a ninja system in this world, there can never be peace. Pain questioned you about peace. But finding the answer is difficult."

"That is very true. Peace is not easy to achieve. And as the era is of the ninja, it is much harder."

A voice over is heard with a man saying, "How would you confront this hatred, in order to create peace?"

"In order to save something dear, wars are waged. As long as there is love, there will be hate." An older looking Hinata is seen to be attacking Pain but sadly there are no positive results.

"Is that Hinata?"

"She's got courage."

"I bet 50 they will end up together."
"Deal."

"I don't appreciate you all betting over my daughter's love life. "

"And some will take advantage of that hatred. This monster known as hate will not die while there is a system of ninja. It will give birth to more Pains. It was Pain who killed Jiraiya sensei,"

"Me? Killed?" Jiraiya whispered to the air.

"but upon careful thought, it can be said that the chaotic world of the ninja which gave rise to Pain, is equally guilty. To be a ninja is to confront hatred. Each and everyone one of us battles hatred. Jiraiya sensei trusted you to find a way to end this hatred."

"Pain seems to be an important enemy in the future."

"But it also mentions that he might be working for the masked man, the future is confusing."

"That's because the future is not the present. And the future has not happened yet, it is still a wrapping waiting to be unwrapped so you can discover the present underneath, no matter if it's one you like or one you don't, you have to accept it."

"Still! I can't forgive Pain! There's no way I can forgive him. Fourth Hokage... tell me!"

"You must find the answer yourself. I do not have the answer."

"That's a great answer."
"Good for him!"

"He doesn't know the answer but he still speaks like he does."

"If Pervy Sage and you do not know the answer then how am I to know?!
I'm not smart!
And I'm not a great ninja!
Everyone expects too much!"

"He's selling himself short."

"I agree. He's more than he thinks he is, better than he thinks he is and more than what he perceives himself as."

"I know you'll find the answer.
I have faith in you."

"You really believe I can do it?"

"To be a parent is to have undying faith in one's child."

"That's..."

"Now then, it's time for me to go.
My Chakra's fading."

"Huh.. wait.."

"I will rebuild the seal. However this will be for the last time. "

"Thanks... dad.."

"The Leaf can be rebuilt. I'm counting on you.... Naruto!" were the last words that could be heard before the screen went black.

"That was ... eventful."

"What we've collected from here is
that—  Jiraiya dies, the Leaf is destroyed, and someone named Pain is the one behind it. Except, Pain is not the final boss, and a mask man is the one pulling the strings."

"Ayako, I believe you've noted everything down."

"Yes, I did."
