I'm doing a lot of writing this weekend aren't I?

Anyway, This is a new story for me, don't worry I'm still going to keep writing both Fang of the North and Family Ties, but I had some inspiration for this one so I decided to go ahead and post it.

This story hasn't been read by a beta, and if you would like to be my beta reader for this story I would really appreciate it. Anyway, this story is more light hearted than Fang of the North, so I hope you enjoy it. It will have eventual NaruSaku, but it's not really a main plot in the story. It will also have KakashiOC.

Read it please! Tell me what you think.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto...and neither do you...unless you actually do own Naruto and then i'd have to say, what the heck is the author of Naruto doing reading fan fiction?

Also, this story was conceived before we found out who Naruto's parents were, so I'm working on my old assumption that Tsunade didn't know. It's called fan fiction people, live with it.


"YOU WHAT?!!!!"

A certain perverted sanin winced in fear as he prepared for the oncoming string of screaming and fists. "Ummmm, well you see….I, uh, lost him?"

"HOW?!" Tsunade seethed. She could not believe that the legendary ninja before her had lost his apprentice.

"Well…you see, we were at a ramen bar and we sort of got into an argument. Long story short we decided to split up and meet back in Konoha in three years." Jiraiya explained guiltily.

The look on the Hokage's face was scary enough to make an entire army wet their pants simultaneously.

Jiraiya pouted in defeated. "All right, fine. Sake was involved, he had already left by the time I woke up the next morning."

Downstairs, Shizune and Sakura looked upwards as they heard what sounded suspiciously like a desk hitting a wall at high speeds.

Sighing, Sakura dutifully headed up the stairs to try and pacify her sensei.

Meanwhile Tsunade was busy throwing anything she could get her hands on at a surprisingly hard to hit perverted sanin while muttering loud streams of curses.

Sakura held up her clipboard to protect her head from various flying projectiles as she warily intruded on the scene.

"I can't believe you lost track your own fucking apprentice! How damn irresponsible can you be?!" The Hokage continued to shout out the two most coherent sentences she'd said during her rant.

Sakura heard them loud and clear as she noticed the white haired ninja her sensei was currently using for target practice. "YOU LOST HIM?!"

Jiraiya gulped as the pink haired medic charged him.

And thus Sakura's own curses and fists were added to the fray.

An hour later, three tired and panting shinobi were leaning against the walls of what used to be the Hokage's office. Two were hoarse and panting while the other quietly nursed his various injuries.

Catching some of her breath back, Tsunade quickly ordered her apprentice to find her assistant and kindly ask her to get a set of replacement furniture from the warehouse they kept stocked with desks, chairs, bookshelves, and other such items for occasions similar and/or identical to this one.

Grumbling, the kunoichi left.

Tsunade glared at her former teammate. "Where was the last place you saw him?"

"Mizu no Uni." The author replied guiltily.

"And that was when?"

"Two and a half years ago."

Tsunade sighed, sitting down on the floor. "Do you think…"

Jiraiya his head. "Nah, we've heard by now. Besides the kid can take care of himself."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow in suspicion. Naruto was known for getting himself into some very stupid situations.

Jiraiya sat down on the floor opposite the female medic. He decided it was time to change the subject, hopefully it would be enough to divert the Hokage's attention away from the fact that he'd, ahem…misplaced his apprentice.

"I know who Naruto's parents are."

Tsunade gawked at the toad sage sitting across from her. "Are you sure?"

Jiraiya nodded, mission accomplished.

"How did you find out? Who are they?"

"I've known for a while now actually." He admitted. "His father wanted me to tell Naruto when he turned eighteen. Since he turned eighteen last month, I'll tell him as soon as he gets back."

"You knew his father? And you didn't bother to tell anyone who his parents were until now?" Tsunade stared open mouthed at the man across the room from her.

"His father didn't want me to, he had a lot of enemies. If it were to get out that he had a vulnerable child…well I think you can figure it out." Jiraiya yawned as he leaned his head back against the cracked wall. Boy, was he tired. After running all day to get back to the village, and then having to dodge Tsunade's wrath…it left even a sanin exhausted.

Tsunade's eye twitched in impatience. "Well? Who the heck are his parents?!"

Jiraiya opened one eye. "You mean you honestly haven't figured it out yet? Tsk, tsk Tsunade. I would think your observational skills would be better than that."

Tsunade glared at him, dangerously close to catching a third wind.

Jiraiya gulped, before regaining his composure. "His father was none other than the late Yondaime Hokage. His mother was Uzumaki Kunshina."

Tsunade's jaw hit the floor. She'd honestly had no idea, but now that she thought about it…the resemblance seemed all too clear. "Holy shit."

Jiraiya smirked. "That's not even all I have to tell him."

Tsunade continued gaping. "There's more?!"

Jiraiya nodded. "He has a Kekkai Genkai called the Tsuheigon."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow warily. "What exactly does it do?"

The sanin shrugged. "I don't really know. The only thing I was told was that one of it's main purposes is to subdue and destroy byuuji. Since Naruto had the Kyuubi sealed inside of him, his Tsuheigon can only be activated by an outside source: someone who carries the same kekkai genkai."

Tsunade sighed, "So he'll never be able to use it?"

Jiraiya shook his head. "There's one Tsuheigon user still alive, the only problem will be finding her."

"Who?"

"Uzumaki Circa, his sister."

"He has a sister?!" Tsunade's jaw hit the floor for the second time that day.

Jiraiya sent her a questioning look, "You don't remember? She was the little girl who always followed the Fourth and his team around. I think she's only about four years younger than Kakashi. My idiot of a student screwed around with Kunshina on a mission when he was seventeen, Circa was the result."

The Hokage sat back against the wall, eyes wide. For years everyone thought that Naruto and the Yondaime didn't have any family. Not only were they related, but also their family was bigger than anyone would have ever guessed. Talk about the number one best-kept secret of Konoha.

Tsunade cocked an eyebrow at her fellow sanin. "So how exactly do you plan to tell Naruto all of this?"

"Tell me what?"

The pair of sanins jumped as a certain knuckle headed shinobi appeared on the windowsill.

The young blond was immediately flipped out upon by the two teammates. Much yelling ensued.

Finally the two had had their fill of screaming at the late blond and Tsunade pulled him into a bone-crushing hug.

Once he was released, and had taken several deep breaths, Naruto repeated his question. "So seriously, tell me what?"

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya. He faltered, not sure how to tell his young apprentice about his family.

"This wouldn't have anything to do with me would it?"

The three looked up as another visitor landed gracefully on the windowsill, leaning casually against the wall with her hand on her hip.

Jiraiya's eyes widened. In front of him was a woman no Konoha shinobi had seen for over a decade.

Uzumaki Circa, was home.


AN: There, I hope you liked it. And yes I know it doesn't follow the manga exactly but what fan fiction does?

Anyway, I would like some feed back on this one, it's kind of a different style for me, so I want to know what you think.

later,
