Tess and Nekomi Find themselves a traditional looking inn's double suite with their chunin escort having left after saying, 'they'd be for the next day.' They gave the suite a once over before Tess place a security seal on the place so no one could suddenly invate their room.

"That was a little stange, the way the old man dismissed us until tomorrow." Nekomi said while flopping in the futon she was now claiming.

"Well we did just spring us selves on them with our sudden arrival. As well as your performance there with the supposed spy, probably had a factor with our having to meet with the Hokage tomorrow. If you can you may want to inform Hyoka of things." Tess spoke while pacing the room.

Nekomi placed a hand on a silver swirl talisman on her necklace and gave a pulse of chakra and in a flash changed the Catear head piece bacame actual large cat-ears and a long aitl snaked it way out the back of her clothes. "He knows I linked up with him on our way here. he said he'll go hunt for the rest of the day then find a way to hide out within mental range to be able to help if needs be tomorrow."

"He better. I still dont know how you talked me into let im keep my sword and most of our gear with him." Tess grumbled.

"Well he is only a quick summons away and how would it look if we had all our gear on with your sword strapped to you back." Nekomi remarked.

"I could of carried it in a seal" Tess shotback

"You and I both know your storage seals are that good yet. You'd have to put it in a storage scroll anyways, but we never knew if they would have searched us."

"Yeah you're right... This time. I'm going to take a shower it feels like its been ages since i last bathed." Tess walked into their bathroom

"You don't have to tell me, but at least you did stink as bad as those two shit pantses we gave them." replied Nekomi while pinching her nose.

Later in a large sealed room within the Hokage Tower several individauls sat at a large horseshoe shaped table. The door are swiftly through open and a bandaged figure strodes in, "Hirezun, what is the meaning of this sudden council meeting without my notice."

In a calm, but sturn voice with his pipe still in mouth, "Its HOKAGE-SAMA and with the title I may call a meeting with or without whom I wish," Sending a glaring look at the man "Danzo, but since you are already here we were just about to start."

Danzo, gave a snort then took his set next to his fellow Elder Councilors.

Placing his pipe down while sweeping a look over the people in attendance. "A few matters have just recently come to my attention this morning." Pausing a moment, "Now before anyone give voice to anything let me finish first." With another look around the room.

"Now, some of you me of heard of a small comotion at the Western Gate this morning. Yes two B-rank missing-nin were brought in. They are now with Ibki in T&I, the ones that 'gifted' them to Konoha did so to gain audiance with me."

Murmering start quietly throughout the room, but stopped when the Hokage raised his hand, "I said , but moments ago to wait until I'm done. So continuing once in my presence one immidiately pointed out and caught an easedropper in the room. that appeared as a blank masked Andu. Who is now in Ibki's care as well." He spoke the last in Danzo iritated direction.

In a spiteful tone Danzo turn to speak, "Hirezun, you can't be impl..."

Forcefully, "For a second time it's HOKAGE-SAMA to you, and wait until I'm FINISHED!" the last through clinched teeth.

Continuing,"After the unknown was removed the gave me this scroll and introdused themselves as decendants of Uzugakure," the room filled with shocked faces and some mumerings." The scroll was a letter of introduction for my two visiters and contained a second scroll sealed within. The sealed scroll gave the authors firsthand account of the Fall of Uzugakure and his escape with my visiters' parents...In reading TWO things stood out. One confirming suspitions of Uzu being betrayed by a party close to them and second Kiri's play to release a Tailed-Beast with an unstable seal was first used there."

The room filled with sadden faces of those that realized how close that could of been them near the end of the Third Shinobi War.e

"In the letter it stated that they were the last surviving member of a group of refugees and wanted the current Hokage to rejoin them with their only known relative Kushina Uzumaki."

Shooting up Danzo shouted, "HOKAGE-SAMA, I demand the Uzumaki be placed under me.."

"Like HELL!" unisoned Shikaku, Inoichi, Choza

After a few moments the room errupted with arguing...

It wasn't until the next evening that the chunin showed to escort the two Uzu to the Hokage's office. upon walking in they knew they wouldnt get a private meeting. When they spotted seven extra persons about the room making no motion to leave as the entered.

"Ladies welcome back, hopefully your stay over night was restful." the Hokage smiled to them.

Tess taking the lead before Nekomi could comment, "Yes it was vary restful Hokage-sama." with both bowing in the center of the room. "I take it we won't be having this in private."

"I'm afriad no. With all activity of your last visit a number of people's interest were atracted to the both of you." Hirezun tilted his head with razed eyebrows towards them. "Now before we start anything how long do you intend to do here in Konoha?"

"We were intending to apply for citizenship and stay with Kushina, before we found out about her death... As we asked before, we heard mention as we approached of another Uzumaki we wish to meet said person or persons first before we make our decision."

An unease feeling went through the room as everyone exchanged a worried glans amoung themselves, some more worry than others.

"Well I guess I will get straight to it then... Kushina died giving born to a son on the day the Kyuubi attacked Konoha nearly ten years ago. With no other Uzumaki present in the village he has had to grow up an orphan."

"What! What about the Senju Clan." Nekomi retorted.

"The Senju Clan has been reduced down to Tsunde of the Sannin as the last. Even more saddening is that she left the Konoha with no desire of returning." Hirezun with downcast eyes.

"Well we'll have to help him where no one else has as his only family. I doubt Aunt Kushina would want his son raise as a complete orphan." Tess inpassioned

"Aunt Kushina?" Tsume asked

"Yes, my father was her baby brother and Nekomi is my cousin by my mother's sister." Tess informed

"Will you be remaining in Konoha with the boy?" Homura asked.

"We have no plans to go anywhere else and we were hoping to use that the bounties for the missing-nins we turned in could be used to by a modest compound for us." Tess stated.

"I want to be a ninja." Nekomi murmered.

"What missing-nins, you turned them in when you entered Konoha." Danzo inquired.

"Yes, they did turn two over when they arrived here, but they also turned twenty-eight more before leaving my office." a look of shock went through most of the room's occupancy. "Half of your payment should be able to by and repair a compound whose occupance were wiped out during the last war. The old Tagogy Clan. It was partially destroyed in the Kyuubi attack."

"That sounds workable. How long would it take to have the compound habitable?" Tess asked

"It'd take a few weeks, long enough for you to aquaint yourselves with your cousin as well for us to access your abilities if you wish to join Konoha's ranks." Shikaku commented.

"So when do we meet our new couz" Nekomi cut in.

"We sent for him before you arrived, he should be here shortly. When he gets here allow me to introduce to him. He may be over excited with this news." Hirezun lend back in his chair a little.
