{ TIME SKIP: 2 YEARS }
; KONOHAGAKURE ORPHANAGE ;
~Aka POV~
In these last 2 years i learned a lot about 'myself', most of the time I was at the orphanage, my parents actually left behind an apartment and quite a fortune , but i had to live here since i couldn't take care of myself, and i won't be having access to MY money until i turn 5.
Anyway, i was once allowed to stay in the apartment for 1 hour, in which i found out the names of my parents. My mother was called Hana Ikamuzu and my father's name was Hoshizora Fukai, apparently, one month before my birth my father disappeared mysteriously and was deemed dead by the village, it is after all not a rarity for shinobi to go missing in this world, and he was just a civilian chuunin so no investigation was done.
( FLASHBACK NO JUTSU )
When i was searching for any clues that might be useful for me in the future (bloodline, elemental affinities of my parents, jutsus...), i accidentally found a strange box fully covered with seals in a secret safe behind a painting, it even had a genjutsu seal on it! Which was very surprising, as the quality and quantity of seals has notably dropped after the fall of the Uzumaki clan.
And as soon as i touched the box with my hand, a strange dragon shaped energy was generated by the seals, it made a little cut on my index finger and took a drop of blood, after which it disappeared again into the box.
Nothing happened for a couple of minutes, which led me to think that it might have broken, but then dazzling rays of light started emitting from it. When everything settled down, the first thing i did was grabbing the box and dashing to the bathroom, since i couldn't possibly let anyone know of the existence of this thing that's not a bit normal.
It surely would be confiscated by the village, with 'Research essential for the development of the village' as an excuse. LIKE HELL i would let them touch my stuff, what's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine as well.
Anyway, I opened the box, and started reading the content of the scroll that was inside the box. To my surprise it was a letter written by my ancestor for his descendants, containing all his knowledge about sealing jutsu. And yes, i can read and write, it was relatively easy for me to learn Japanese, maybe because my mind's still young, which led me to the theory that the memories of my past life are saved on my soul, that's probably the reason that i can recall every second of it vividly.
But that's for another time, I'm still not strong enough to do research on the soul. Umm...where were we? ah, yes, the scroll, so apart from the notes and jutsus of my ancestor, i managed to figure out a lot of information, and the most shocking one is that my mother was an Uzumaki, well somehow, i was already expecting it. There weren't a lot of redheads shown in the manga and anime, and all of them were Uzumakis, and the last name of my mother was just a disguise to hide from the clan's enemies, Ikamuzu is Uzumaki backwards.
Another interesting thing is that before the attack on Uzushiogakure, a white humanoid creature appeared and killed most of the powerhouses of the Uzumaki clan. No wonder a clan that was able to restrain multiple tailed beasts with their chains at the same time was destroyed in one night, i mean those guys were able to make a contract with the shinigami, a probably six-paths if not kekkei mora level existence, they would surely be able to kill the other villages kage at the expense of some clansmen.
I assume that the white creature was Tobi, the swirly white zetsu. It seams that the destruction of the Uzumaki clan wasn't that simple, Madara probably had some hand in it. Most likely because of the fearsome sealing techniques they possessed, which was the main reason for the joint attack of Iwagakure, Kirigakure and kumogakure on Uzushiogakure. and he couldn't possibly risk being sealed right after reviving.
Anyhow, it appears that my ancestor had a quite high position in the clan to possess such intel.
After i finished reading the scroll, there was a note that made shivers run down my spine: 'If someone that doesn't possess the blood of an Uzumaki attempts to touch the safe box, an explosion comparable to a tailed-beast bomb will be generated by the special explosion tag made by our clan's founder'
"It seems the box is more of a treasure than the scroll, hehehe." said Aka with an evil smirk that would creep out even the devil himself.
But that wasn't the end of the little expedition of my parents apartment....
