Delia Ketchum hummed softly to herself as she entered the house with a bag of groceries that consisited of Ash's favorite foods and of course ketchup for Pikachu. As she was unpacking the groceries she heard a low almost silent humming noise emanating from her bedroom along with seeing a soft blue glow creeping under the door just barely in sight before it all came to a stop. Delia then remembered something from before Ash was born, in a different place, more dangerous, but then she shrugged off the memory, it was a special day, Ash was coming home from the Indigo League! Delia then said out loud to herself "Oh Ash dont think you can become a pokemon master yet you still need more expirience than you have right now" She then chuckled at the thought of Ash being near enough to hear that comment.

"Pika pika chuu pii" At that sound Delia's face quickly became very red as she turned around and blurted out, "Oh, hi Ash "

Misty broke out into laughter after about a minute or so of struggling to contain her mirth as Ash groaned "Mommmmmm, did you really just say that?"

"Never mind that Ash, I'm just happy that your safe after your journey." As she hugged him. "Now why don't you visit Professor Oak after all this time?"

"Okay, Mom I was going to visit him anyway."

Delia then yelled out to invite him over for lunch after seeing him. She then went to the difficult task of preparing a big enough lunch for her son. As she was making sandwiches she saw the blue glow again and decided to go inside her room. She opened her closet door and pulled out a scroll that had a beautiful swirling pattern running around the circumfirence of the scroll when she opened the scroll it was no longer blank from years ago when she had first received it. Rather it had two symbols next to each other one a white fane with a red crescent over the top of the fan. The other symbol was a black circle with other thick black lines encircling it. Under each was a marking for a hand to be placed there. Delia then thuoght back to the very moment she had been given the scroll.

[Flashback]

"Delia this is for your son or daughter who will be born in nine months. Once he or she is ready the scroll shall tell you they are strong enough for a life here in Konoha."

"Thank you Minato, I shall remember this"

[End Flashback]

Oh god Minato, now it has to be now Delia thought. Then when she attempted to place her hands on the markings she was thrown back in a flash of blue. Outside Ash heard a large crash and saw the windows of his home glow with a brilliant blue.

"Everyone, something wierd is going on at home." Ash exclaimed as he started to head out the door of Professor Oak's lab.

"Don't worry Ash your mother is sure to be fine" Oak said as they headed towards Ash's home

Just then a slightly disheveled Delia burst out front door, grabbed Ash's hand went back in dragging Ash with her. Outside the group heard the door lock clicking.

"Mom, mom whats wrong?"

"Nothing Ash, I just have to tell you something very important. It's something about your father and me. I did not come from here and thenman that raised you all his life here was not your real father. His name was Minato Namikaze and my real name was Delia Uchiha.
