At the same time as Arashi first met Sasu...um Miko, another meeting of sorts was happening several miles away.

Tsunade Senju, granddaughter of the Shodaime Hokage looked at her assistant Shizune angrily as she found herself tied up and said "What is the meaning of this Shizune."

Shizune said "I'm sorry Tsunade-sama but I was given orders to make sure you did not try to run or attack once our guest arrives until they have had a moment to speak with you. That is why I have given you a quick acting oderless and tasteless drug with your sake last night. Forgive me."

Tsunade said "Who the hell ordered you to do this and why the hell would you betray me...ME for this person."

Before Shizune could answer there was a knock on the door to the hotel room they were staying in and Shizune walked to the door and said "Who is it."

A male voice said "Forefathers."

Shizune quickly opened the door and bowed without looking up. The next moment she felt something slip around her neck and she quickly raised her head and blinked and said "What...who are you." as she saw a male in front of her with red hair and red eyes.

The man said "Secure the door and be quite." as he moved into the room followed by another person who was wearing a mask and a cloak.

Shizune felt herself compelled to follow the mans orders and quickly move to guard the door.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes and said "What's going on here, who are you and what have you done to Shizune."

The person in the mask said "It's been a long time Tsunade-sama." in a female voice as she reached up and removed the hood showing red hair and removed the mask and Tsunade eyes widen and said in a shock voice "Kushina."

In front of Tsunade stood Kushina Uzumaki who smiled sadly at Tsunade and said "It's good to see you Tsunade."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes and said "Who are you, you can't be Kushina, Kushina is dead."

Kushina said "Your right...sort of. Instead of dying I was sealed away inside my son by Minato and due to some recent...events I've been released from the seal."

Tsunade frowned and said "What events. What is going on here, how can you prove to me that you are who you say you are."

Kushina said "I had Kyuubi sealed in me that was given to me by your grandmother Mito who was the first Jinchuuriki of Kyuubi. I have the Uzumaki bloodline I can demonstrate if I have to in order to prove I am who I say I am if that isn't enough...as for what event...Danzo kidnapped my son and tried to enter him in ROOT like he had his men do to Shizune which is why when she recieved orders to detain you she did because. They kidnapped her while you were drunk one day and placed a seal on her to control her when given an order...of coarse Danzo, the leader of ROOT is now dead and ROOT in under my sons control...which is why we are here."

Tsunade frowned and said "Why are you here."

Kushina said "When my son took over ROOT he got all of Danzo files...turns out Danzo was behind the assassination of not only your brother but also Dan." causing both Tsunade and Shizune's eyes to widen.

Before Tsunade could say anything the man with Kushina said "He also stole several of your eggs and had them fertilized with sperm from Jiraiya and had them implanted in one of his female agents who died giving birth...you child was Minato Namikaze and Kushina son is your grandson, granddaughter.

Tsunade said "Who are you."

The man smirked and said "You could say I'm your second grandfather Tsunade." as Tsunade eyes widen as she saw tails appear out the back of the man next to Kushina and Tsunade said in a stutter "Kyuubi."

Kyuubi smirked and said "Yes."

Tsunade turned to look at Kushina who smiled sadly and said "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE."

Shizune was scared but found she couldn't move and Kushina said "You don't have anything to fear, Kyuubi won't harm you."

Tsunade grew angry and started to say something when Kushina sighed and moved forward while pulling out a choker like the one now around Shizune's neck and slipped it around Tsunade neck and said "BE SILENT AND DON'T MOVE."

Tsunade suddenly felt herself freeze and Kushina sighed and said "I'm sorry for doing this Tsunade but I don't have a lot of free time right now to tell you what is going on because I need to get back to help protect my son." as she pulled out a scroll and said "Inside this scroll is copies of some of the files we have recovered from Danzo office. The choker collars won't let you leave the village for 3 days when Kyu-kun and I will be back. What the chokers do and don't do are also in this scroll. I would read through it all if I was you and I wouldn't trust anyone until you do, especially Jiraiya since he KNEW Minato was yours and his son and help keep the fact from you...he was also the one who helped ROOT track down Shizune to give her the seal she now has. Don't be angry at her, she was basically a slave who didn't even have a choice in. You can read the official report in this scroll on that. Once we are gone you will be able to move. See you in 3 days, come on Kyu-kun." as she grabbed Kyuubi hand stopped her.

Kyuubi looked at Tsunade and said "In my defense, I know you have heard that I tried to escape when your mother was giving birth as well as when Kushina was but think about this. I'm a guy, while in the seal I felt, saw, and heard everything your grandmother and Kushina did. I had to experience pms, periods, pregnancy, female orgasm and childbirth which they weren't allowed to have pain medication for and since my anatomy was different it felt like your father and Kushina child was being pulled out my MALE reproductive organs. I wasn't trying to escape. I was using my chakra to try and THROW the children out of them and make the pain stop." before he made his tails disappear and both left though Kushina was looking a little sheepish.

After they were gone Tsunade looked at Shizune was looking down and rubbing her hands nervously in front of her and Tsunade asked "Where is this seal Shizune."

Shizune bit her lip before sticking out her tongue and Tsunade eyes widen and frowned as she saw it and said "Where they telling the truth."

Shizune nods and said "It was the 1 year anniversery of uncles death. I...I was in the hotel room alone while you were out drinking...someone had knocked on the door and I thought it was you. I was immediately attacked and knocked out...when I woke up Danzo was there and he told me that I now served him and told me if I didn't follow his command exactly then the seal would kill me...Every 3 months I would wait until I was alone while you were usually gambling or sleeping and drop a scroll at the postal ninja station in the town we were at. I had to tell where we had been, any ninja you came in contact with, who you owed money to, and if your feelings about Konoha changed where you would betray Konoha or if you ever thought about returning to Konoha. I...I notice the few times that you had been thinking about returning and I sent the scroll informing about that either your debt collectors would all show up in an ambush or Jiraiya-sama would show up and talk about the old days and you would chose to not return."

Tsunade clenched her fist and said "Why didn't you ever tell me before."

Shizune said "Until 2 months ago I couldn't as every time I tried to the seal tortured me. I...I felt something happen 2 months ago that was different but I didn't know what it was. When I got a message to stop you from a ROOT member in the last town who demanded to know where we were heading next I told them he told me to make sure you couldn't escape or use chakra. Fearing I would be tortured again I had no choice Tsunade-sama, I'm sorry."

Tsunade frowned and said "I'm...angry...and hurt Shizune...My trust in you has been compromised...but if what is in this scroll backs up what you said I'll forgive you...but I won't forget either Shizune."

Shizune wilted under the glare Tsunade gave her and thought "But what could I do. I didn't have a choice."

Tsunade grab the scroll and began to read it and her fist clenched in anger the more she read and despite her fear of blood her anger forced her to unseal more and more reports out of the scrolls.

In another hotel Kyuubi and Kushina were sitting on a hotel bed and Kyuubi said "Do you think this was the right choice."

Kushina said "I don't know Kyu. I mean...so many of the things I thought I knew and trusted have turned out to be either lies or things that were setup to manipulate me...and when I think of Naruto's..."

Kyuubi put his finger to her lips and said "The Kit is stronger then you think. He does have you for a mother after all. Just have faith and trust in him."

Kushina relaxed at Kyuubi words and said "Thank you Kyu-kun. I will never be able to repay you for what you have done for me and my son."

Kyuubi said "Our it Kushina...you are my mate and he is our kit. NOTHING will change that. No matter what."

Kushina who was blushing looked down and said "I still can't help but feel that..."

Kyuubi stop her by kissing her and he pulled back and said "NOTHING will change the fact you or MY mate and he is OUR kit."

Kushina smiled and said "So how is he."

Kyuubi smirked and kissed her while pushing her back onto the bed and started to kiss around to her cheek and up to her ear and whispered "He is MY son." as Kushina moaned feeling Kyuubi tail rubbing certian 'special' places on her body.

The next day on training ground 13, Tenten, the 15 year old female Gennin team member of Team 9 stood panting looking at the 6 targets she had been throwing weapons at for the last hour when a clapping noise was heard from behind her at the edge of the woods and Tenten turned quickly and said "Whose there."

Tenten saw a teen with red hair and green eyes walk out of the woods and said "Impressive Tenten, the rumors of your precision with weapons seems well founded."

Tenten said "Who are you and what are you doing here. This is a private training ground and civilians are not allowed here."

The teen said "I'm not a civilian...I'm not even a ninja either."

Tenten got a confused look on her face and the teen said "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Arashi."

Tenten said "What are you doing here...Arashi." as she narrowed her eyes.

Arashi said "Well, that would depend on if the information I have acquired about you is true or not. If the rumors are true then I have a proposition for you. If it's not then I'll leave and you will most likely never see me again. Since it appears that you need to collect your weapons to either continue to train or to go home I would be willing to help you collect them if you would listen to what info I have heard about you and tell me if it is true or not. You have nothing to lose and possibly something to gain. What do you say."

Tenten bit her lip and said "Alright."

Arashi began to pick up the weapons and said "Thank you. I'm told that you are an orphan of the original owner of the Wolf Claw Weapon shop which is now ran by a family friend until your old enough to take over it, that you were the top kunoichi of your class, you dream of proving kunoichi can be just as good as Shinobi, you have a 100 percent accuracy with thrown weapon. You are a member of team 9 with Rock Lee, the deadlast of your class who is unable to use chakra and Neji Hyuuga, a member of the branch house of the Hyuuga clan who you have a slight crush on but it is unreturned. Your sensei is Maito Gai. Is that all correct."

Tenten turned red in the face and asked "How did you find out all that about me."

Arashi said "Information gathering is something I am becoming effecient in. I take it by your reaction that all that information is correct."

Tenten didn't say anything and Arashi set the weapons he had gathered in a pile and said "Then I guess I can tell you why I am here. I wish to offer you a deal. You see, I told you that I'm not a ninja or a civilian. That is some what true but not entirely. Have you ever heard of the ANBU unit called ROOT."

Tenten blinked and shook her head no and Arashi said "Well, back before the Nidaime Hokage selected Hiruzen Sarutobi to become the Sandaime Hokage there was actually 2 candidates for the position. One was Hiruzen and the other was a man by the name of Danzo...Danzo and Hiruzen were bitter rivals but people who knew them called them 2 sides of the same coin. Hiruzen would be the face up side that everyone would see while Danzo was the one who worked in the shadows that was hidden...He loved Konoha but did not always agree with the way Hiruzen ran things. Hiruzen created what is known as ANBU and Danzo created what is known as ROOT."

Tenten said "Why are you telling me all this."

Arashi said "I'm getting there. You see, because Danzo didn't always agree with the things Hiruzen had decided there were times some of the things he did while he believed was in the best interest of Konoha could be considered treason as well...take your teammate Neji for example. Do you know about his fathers death."

Tenten frowned and said "He's told me about it once...why."

Arashi said "There is more to that story then what he and many others know...I can't at the moment tell you what the rest of the story is but what I can tell you is that Danzo was involved along with members of the Hyuuga clan."

Tenten said "What do you mean."

Arashi said "There are 3 sides to every story. The official story, the unofficial story, and the truth. The truth is almost never the same as the official story...take the Kyuubi attack that killed your parents for example. Your told the Kyuubi is dead, right."

Tenten pursed her lips and nods and Arashi said "That is the official story that everyone to young to remember or wasn't here at the time was told...the unofficial story is that the Yondaime sealed the Kyuubi in a newborn infant and wish the child to be seen as a hero for saving Konoha."

Tenten narrowed her eyes and said "But neither of those are the truth...are they."

Arashi said "NO...in fact only a handful of people in the entire world know the entire truth. I am one such member...Danzo is dead and I am the new leader of ROOT."

Tenten's eyes widen and said "Your the leader of an ANBU unit."

Arashi snapped his finger and suddenly 30 members of ROOT in thier cloaks and masked appeared and Tenten looked around in shock before Arashi snapped his finger and the ROOT members were gone.

Arashi said "Yes...and I would like to offer you a chance to join the new ROOT. From the reports on you I have read as well as what I have seen of you I believe that you could become a great addition to my forces. I will warn you that we do not answer to the Hokage. I killed Danzo under orders of the Fire Lord who I answer to and I answer to him alone."

Tenten was shocked by what she was hearing and said "You want me to join ROOT."

Arashi said "Yes...but it's not that simple. Like regular ANBU our identities are secret. You can't tell anyone you are in ROOT without my authorization. You will have to still serve the Hokage on your gennin team officially unless there comes a time where I have need of your services. In exchange for joining ROOT you will be given access to better equiptment, training, resources, and other things including classified information."

Tenten said "Why me...why do you want me."

Arashi pulled out a choker collar from his pocket and said "This choker has seals on it that make it where 1 percent of your chakra is constantly being drained so that it will help you increase your chakra reserves and chakra recovery rate. It also has resistant seals that activate while you are in motion that will make you feel like your moving in water which will help you strengthen and tone your muscles without bulking up heavily so you don't lose your natural flexability. It also makes it where you won't be able to be with any man unless you want them to which means that it will be impossible for you to be raped as long as you have chakra."

Tenten eyes widen and looked at the choker and Arashi continued "It will protect you until you run out of chakra and die of chakra exhaustion if you are not able to escape before then at which point it will seal your body in the collar and summon the collar back to Konoha where you can be properly burried. It will allow members of ROOT to be able to track you if you are kidnap so a rescue attempt can be made if we know you are in danger...it also makes it where you will be unable to reveal any secrets that I do not authorize. Any attempt to tell them will cause you to have your chakra drained from you where you will become to weak to speak and the more you resist the more drained you get until either you pass out, stop trying to tell the secrets, or die. All members of the new ROOT have them. Before I can tell you what you must do to join us you have to put this on for not only our safety but your own."

Tenten bit her lip and said "Alright." as she held out her hand.

Arashi said "Are you sure. This is not a choice to be taken lightly Tenten and will be one you will have to live with the rest of your life. Even if you decide that you don't want to be in ROOT or want out you will have to keep this on for security reason. Are you sure you want this."

Tenten looked down in thought a moment and said "Yes."

Arashi smiled and disappeared from Tenten view and moments later Tenten passed out.

When Tenten began to wake up she found it had been about 30 minutes and she asked "What happen.

Arashi said "Due to the fact revealing secrets have to be authorized by me, it has to be encoded to me so the seals will know not to let you speak about something unless I approve of it. As such I can't have you seeing the process of how to put the choker collars on how to encode it so I hit a pressure point and knocked you out temperarily while I put it on you."

Tenten frowned and said "So what now."

Arashi said "As I told you there are 3 sides of every story...You've heard the official story in the accademy about the Kyuubi and I told you the unofficial story about Kyuubi. Now I want to tell you the truth about the Kyuubi."

Tenten asked "Why."

Arashi said "Your parents were killed by Kyuubi. As such you may hold some hate in your heart that could be used against you and cause you to do something that would cost others thier lives or cause the destruction of Konoha accidently in your quest for vengence. You will understand once I tell you the entire truth what I mean."

Tenten frowned and Arashi said "This maybe shocking to hear and you may doubt my words so you will have to decide if you believe me or not. Now the story of the Kyuubi is an old one. The Shodaime, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha before Konoha was founded had allied together. They had worked together to capture the Bijuu starting with the weakest and worked thier way up until they reached the Kyuubi. The Kyuubi lived in the land of fire in what we call the trainning ground 44, also known as the Forrest of Death right here in Konoha. Hashirama and Madara fought Kyuubi there who fought back in self defense and they were able to capture him with thier combined bloodlines...but that was when Hashirama betrayed Madara."

Tenten eyes widen hearing this and started to say something when Arashi said "Hold all question to the end...anyways as I was saying, Hashirama betrayed Madara by having his wife Mito who had a unique bloodline seal the Kyuubi away in a seal that would allow her to draw on the Kyuubi charka. Hashirama threatened Madara with the destruction of the Uchiha clan with the power of the Kyuubi and the other Bijuu, since it was his power that was containing them at the time, if he did not submit to Hashirama. That is how Hashirama actually became the Shodaime Hokage."

Tenten couldn't believe what she was hearing and Arashi said "Now I will skip to years later. Madara tried to steal the containers the other 8 Bijuu were in to fight against Hashirama so Hashirama gave them to other villages as peace offerings to keep them out of Madara hands...but Hashirama was a crafty man. He told them after they had the Bijuu that when he died the Bijuu would escape and attack everything around them so he blackmailed them. He forced them to surrender one of thier clans to Konoha for each Bijuu in exchange for the knowledge on how to seal the Bijuu into newborn infants who could be called Jinchuuriki. That is how Konoha actually gained most of thier bloodlines."

Tenten eyes nearly popped out of her head and Arashi said "Shocking huh. The seal your teammate has on his head, the cage bird seal was actually created by Mito. The members of the clan who were willing to come here became the main house while the ones who wanted to fight and possibly die were captured and had the seal placed on them making them basically slaves to the ones who wanted to come here."

Tenten frowned hearing this as she clenched her fist in anger.

Arashi said "Sad, I know, humans can be so cruel sometimes. Anyways back to the Kyuubi, Before Mito passed away she passed the responsibility of guarding the Kyuubi onto another member of her clan who originally belong to the land of Whirlpool though the girl was tricked by Mito and other people here such as Danzo who was afraid the girl would take the Kyuubi back to her homeland so he had the ROOT under him destroy Whirlpool...If you look at your hiate you will notice that the leaf representing the Senju clan and the spiral of the Uzumaki clan. That is just a bit of proof I thought you should know since this story is pretty shocking."

Arashi looked up at the sky and cracked his neck and said "Now the girl grew up while secretly watching the Kyuubi to make sure he couldn't escape as she was instructed to while being watched by people here in Konoha to make sure she didn't learn the truth and try to flee...Kyuubi in the meantime met a human woman while locked away as he was and they secretly fell in love and actually had a child together."

Tenten eyes widen and said "WHAT...HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE."

Arashi said "You would be amazed what someone was willing to do when they trully loved them...after all, you have your crush on your teammate who is basically a slave and if you actually got together with him any child you had would become a slave as well. A bit cruel, don't you think."

Tenten frowned and said "What happened to the child."

Arashi said "I'll tell you in a few minutes...anyways, the day your parents were killed, the woman who was guarding his prison was attacked by an enemy of Konoha forcing her to release the seal that bound Kyuubi due to her weakness from her injuries and battle...but the man also attacked Kyuubi lover injuring her in front of him and trying to kill thier infant child."

Tenten asked "Who was it."

Arashi said "Classified until you become an actual member...but I can tell you the man did have a bloodline that allowed him to control Kyuubi forcing him to attack Konoha with the anger he felt...as for Kyuubi secret child."

Tenten eyes widen as a fox tail began to swing behind Arashi who said "That was me."

Tenten quickly got to her feet and got her weapons ready to attack when 3 ROOT members appeared with thier weapons drawn causing her to freeze.

Arashi said "I understand that you may hate me or fear me for being what I am...but think about what you have just heard and what has happened since we met. My father only attacked in defense unless he was being controlled by someone else...what if a Yamanaka forced you to assassinate the Hokage against your will, should you be punished for thier actions. You would be since your body was the one that did the crime but is it right...My father was sealed inside a newborn infant named Naruto Uzumaki. I'm sure you have seen him in town. The Uzumaki clan are the only ones who have a bloodline that will allow my father to be made into a Jinchuuriki...as much as I would like to see my father freed I understand that can't happen and I don't blame Uzumaki. In fact I respect him. He not only protects Konoha every day of his life but also my father. He protects my father from being used by those like that man who attacked my mother and me while also protecting Konoha from the same people who would use my father to destroy Konoha. Uzumaki is the last of his clan and if he dies not only will my father be freed to be used again by someone but since Konoha see's him as thier Jinchuuriki, thier secret weapon they won't let him ever live anywhere else so when my father is freed he will most likely cause accidental damage to Konoha all because humans want to use him as a weapon."

Tenten frowned as she glared at Arashi who said "Your very attractive Tenten and if you did not hate me for being half demon fox and half human I would actually be interested in possibly asking you to someday help me to restore my family since I'm the last who can recreate my pack since my father will most likely be used as a weapon forever...If you decide you can't work for me then ignore the mission I am about to give you. It has come to our attention that someone might be trying to steal the Uzumaki bloodline. We believe they know it is the only thing left that can capture my father. Were not entirely sure they are actually trying to steal it. They may in fact trying to destroy it so that way when Uzumaki dies my father would be released to possibly destroy Konoha. Both are options that Konoha and I can not allow to happen. Your test is to protect my father and Uzumaki and get samples for us to see if he has been poisoned already. We need blood, hair, and sperm samples. If you check your weapon pouch you will find s scroll with containers that the samples need to go in. You must not inform Uzumaki about any of the info you have learned about him, Kyuubi, his bloodline, or your mission. I do not want you to sacrifice your virginity to do this mission. I respect women and believe that you have the right to choose who you are with...but you are also a kunoichi so you should be aware there are other forms of sex that do not involve your ass or pussy. If possible should you accept this mission we would like to know of any females Uzumaki might have been with recently and what was done. We believe it will be a female who is targetting Uzumaki."

Arashi stood up and said "This mission needs to be done quickly before he starts back to the accademy because the accademy is the one place he is actually least protected. We also need to get an untainted set of samples to use as a base should he be poisoned so we can try and counter them...This is your choice. Sometimes you have to give up what you desire most, even your dreams to do what's right. I wish you luck in what ever you choose Tenten. Goodbye." as he and the members of ROOT disappeared.

Tenten fell to her knees and thought "What should I do."
