Never give up! That is the one thing yo must never do! While Uzu shall fall, do not give up! Live on! Make your family proud and happy by living! ~Uzumaki Shiba, during the last few minutes of Uzushiogakure's existence.

"Mom?!" Kira yelled as she saw the last person she expected, to pop up in front of the group.

Shiba Uzumaki, had darastically changed in the time that she was gone. While she still had the same scar on her face, she has gained another that went from just under her right eye to her chin. Her clothing style had changed as well. While she still had her Uzu headband, it was now around her neck, in the same way as her daughter, as she wore a plain grey-blue T-shirt, and a pair of plain black pants that ended just above her ankles. Added to this was her normal Shinobi sandals and a deep blue flak jacket. On her right hip, was the sheath for the The Crimson sword, while her left hip had the sheath for the sapphire colored sword.

Shiba looked back towards the group, and she saw Kira. A soft smile adorned her face, before she turned to Zabuza with a glare "Do you realize how hard it is to track your ass?"

Zabuza let out a groan, like he knew what was coming next no matter what he said "That's the point, I'm a missing Nin, remember?"

"Don't try to get away from the point I'm trying to make!" Shiba yelled, showing exactly who's personality Kira followed after "You never listen to me, despite I'm actually trying to help you. First you leave Kiri because of someone messing with your Mizukage, then you start acting like a missing Nin as well, and finally you take a Job from a sleaze-ball that I told you, would betray you after everything was finished!"

Zabuza let out a deep growl at that as he said "You know I took the job because I needed the money so I could plan another coup against the Mizukage, so those damned blood-line purges would end!"

"Not to interrupt or anything, but the bloodline purges are over already, and a new Mizukage has been appointed." Kakashi stated with a obvious tone.

Shiba gave a long pause at that before she proceeded to slump down and mumble "I've been out of the game to long... Your going to not attack the old man now, right Zabuza?"

She had a tired tone to her voice, and thankfully, Zabuza said "Yeah, yeah. I won't kill the old drunk, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to kill the midget basterd. A lot of what he wanted me to do, went against my principles. As for you guys, sorry about trying to kill you not to long ago. Wouldn't of even accept the stupid mission if not for the ton of Ryo that the midget was willing to pay, but with a new Mizukage, I won't need to anymore."

"That's nice and all, but does that mean we can no longer count you as a missing Nin?" Kurenai hesitantly asked, with a suspicious tone.

"Yes, that means I'm not going to be a Missing-Nin anymore, red eyes." He stated with a neutral tone "As for you Shiba, why is there a midget you right there?"

"This 'midget' has a name you know" Kira stated with a frown "I'm Kira Uzumaki, daughter to Shiba Uzumaki, a.k.a 'The red mist of Uzu'."

That name seemed to catch the attention of the Jōnin in the area. Specifically Kurenai, as she asked "Your mother is the red mist? Why didn't you tell anyone this?"

Kira gave a small sigh, but Shiba beat her to the punch "She didn't want you thinking of her as 'Shiba's daughter' instead of her own person. Can you honestly say you wouldn't have started to say things along the lines of 'She's Shiba's daughter, so of course she can do this' or 'unsurprising of the daughter of the red mist'?"

Kurenai didn't say say anything, but Kakashi said "It's understandable. I know from experience what it's like to live in the shadow of your parents."

"It was even worse for me growing up Kakashi Hatake. I'm the second daughter of the last Uzukage, so I had to deal with that growing up. In honesty, Kushina was the lucky one being sent out of the village. She had a different chance with things." Shiba sighed, but she told Zabuza that he could probably make up an excuse to Gatō while also setting things up so the island could get closure when it came to Gatō's death.

The whole time, she didn't notice the look that Kakahsi was giving her. He had another connection to his sensei's wife. Not only did he have the connection when it came with Naruto, considering he was her son, but now he had Kushina's sister, and niece for him to remember them by. He was extremely happy about what was going on, but what Shiba said next would make him extremely glad that he had met both of them.

"Kira, I found something that we can use to bring Kushina, as well as Naruto's father back. The main problem being that, their old bodies will still be in the grave, but their new bodies will literally have a different soul, while they have all of the memories of their old bodies." Shiba stated and Kira's eyes widened a lot, along with everyone else who was listening, but Before they could discuss it anymore, Shiba continued "We should discuss this somewhere more private, outside isn't exactly a smart idea, even with silencing seals."

"What do you mean you can bring them back?" Kakashi asked with skepticism evident in his voice.

"Like I said, this isn't the time or place to discuss this." Shiba stated with finality.

Tazuna, at this point, had actually decided that he could contribute by saying "You can discuss whatever Shinobi stuff your talking about at my house, when we get there. It would be no problem, and I'm sure you guys have something to keep us from hearing you."

Shiba gave a nod towards the bridge builder, before she started to catch up with her daughter. It was honestly a heart warming sight to see the mother and daughter pair talking to each other with such comfort, despite the amount of time that the two had not seen each other. It actually made Kurenai, her sensei, happy to see her student happy, though it made her smile bigger when Shiba threatened to neuter Kiba if he tried anything with Kira. Not to long after that, Shiba started to talk to Hinata about Kira as well, as Hinata was her best friend. Shino put his input here and there as well, and in all it made things interesting when it came to everyone talks to one another. Naruto was in the conversation, as well as Shiro, but the other two members of team 7 were left out, considering the two didn't get any closer, and Sakura just followed Sasuke when it came to situations like this.

When the group actually managed to get to Tazuna's house, the genin split up, and it ended with Shiba, Kira, Naruto, Shiro, Kurenai, and Kakashi, were the only ones in the room were they were going to discuss what was going to happen. Almost right away, both Shiba and Kira placed silencing seals in all 8 corners of the room, including the ceiling. The others didn't understand why the two put so much emphasis on silencing seals, but it was obvious that they did it for a reason.

"Now as for what I was talking about before, I need to know if I can tell Naruto of his heritage. If I can't, then this is going to be a lot more difficult to talk about, as well as other things, because we are going to be reviving them on this mission." Shiba stated with a final tone.

"What do you mean mom? Is it because of...?" Kira let the question run off, and Shiba gave a nod "For the heritage reveal... I honestly don't know If we should. Hiruzen gave permission to the Uzumaki clan head to tell Naruto when we felt it right to tell him."

Shiba gave a nod, despite Naruto's confused look, but she turned to him and asked "Do you think your ready to know your parents Naruto? You won't get to take it back once you know, and your father was a very important person."

For once, Naruto gave a thoughtful look as he thought about what he was going to say. He knew who his mother was, that was true enough, but he didn't have a clue who his father was. Sure he now knew that his father was very important, but was he actually ready to hear who his father was? It was fairly obvious that once he knew he was going to be upset with his jiji that he didn't tell him, but he wouldn't be able to stay mad at him. Another thing he knew was that his parents died during the kyūbi attack during his birth, but he didn't know who they were. With a deep sigh he nodded his head as a yes that he was ready, and he knew what was going to happen.

Kira, on the other hand, knew that her sensei didn't know who Naruto's father was, so she quickly added "Kurenai-sensei. Please don't say anything until mom finishes."

Kurenai just nodded, even if she was confused, before Shiba said "Naruto, I'm expecting you already know who your mother was, but your father is a mystery, right?" A nod confirmed her question " You father was incredibly important during the third Shinobi war. In fact he was the reason why Iwa hates Konoha more then if we had just won." Shiba noticed that Kurenai's eyes widened as she figured out who Naruto's father was "Naruto, your the son of the Yellow flash, Minato Namikaze."

Kakashi looked down at the proclamation, already knowing that it was true, while Shiro and Kira stayed silent. Kurenai, on the other hand was in a state of shock because of everything, and then there was Naruto. He was crying. He was silently crying because his hero, the Yondaime Hokage, was his dad. Now only that, but if what Shiba and Kira were saying Was true, he would be able to meet, and live with his parents. It was honestly to much, as he just silently cried at the revelation.

Shiba, seeing the tears, gently pulled Naruto into a hug, while he cried into her shoulder "It'll be fine Naruto. I promise you that your family is here with you. Me, my daughter, and every other Uzumaki in the elemental nations."

It took awhile for Naruto to calm down, but when he did, he was still sniffing now and then from the crying, but he was fine to the point he could hear everything. Once he had calmed down as well, Shiba continued what she was explaining "Ok, as for the seal I'm going to use to bring back his parents, it only works once every ten years, but since we are bring back two people at the same time it doubles the time. This is the reason why this seal isn't used very often. Well that, and the fact that with a different soul, there is no guarantee that they will retain all of their abilities."

Kurenai, who had finally gotten over her shock, gave a slightly curious look, before she asked "So does that mean that if I had a special Jutsu, and this seal was used on me, it doesn't mean that I'll be able to use that jutsu once I'm back?"

"Exactly. When it comes to the hirashin however, it's different. The hirashin uses advanced space-time, seals that even a seal master would have trouble comprehending. Uzumaki seal masters, are a different story, but the Namikaze clan was known for Space-time jutsu, so it isn't a surprise that Minato managed to create one. Another example of something the body can't keep, is a summoning contract." Shiba stated.

"So if I were to die and it was used on me, I will have to resign the Dog summoning contract that I have?" Kakashi asked quickly after in his lazy tone.

Shiba gave a nod towards before she had a look of realization and she looked towards Kira "Hey. I just remembered what I was going to give you if you managed to become Chūnin rank. Before that though, let's get back on track. The seal will only work once, and I need three things so that I can use it. The first being a lock of your hair Naruto. The second being a bit of my blood, as I'm the sister to Kushina, and the last, two dead bodies. The reason for the dead bodies, is because the seal will literally break down the body and rearrange the DNA composition to be exactly like the last body so that it will literally show that Kushina has the same DNA as I do to an extent. If I used the seal on two living people, it would be like killing them, and I don't want to do that."

The explanation of the seal, actually caused Kakashi to give an exasperated sigh as he said "I know Sensei, and Kushina said that seals had literally infinite possibilities, but to rearrange the DNA of a body? That must be an incredibly complicated seal."

Shiba gave a nod before she said "I scavenged literally everything from the ruins of Uzushiogakure's archives, as well as anything else I could find. The only seal that is more complicated then this one would be the Shiki fūjin, and that is because of all the hidden components that are in the seal."

Kira gave a proud smile when she noticed the gawking looks that everyone, minus Shiro, who had yet to speak in this conversation, gave, and she said "My mom is a seal master that surpasses most of even Uzumaki standards."

Shiro decided to speak for the first time in this conversation by saying "M-my m-mom I-is a m-medical s-seal e-expert. S-she also I-is j-just b-below Tsunade Senji I-in m-medical k-knowledge."

Kurenai gave a tired sigh to that as she said "Is everyone in the Uzumaki clan an expert on something?"

Kira gave a nod before she said "The gate guards, Hiro, and Shinji, are experts on Kenjutsu, and they help me practice every now and again."

"Those two are still doing gate duty? They were like that when we were kids and they just hit chūnin rank!" Shiba stated with a laugh "Are they ever going to get on something other then gate duty?"

Konoha:

"Hey." Shinji said to hiro "You ever wonder why we're here?"

"One of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence? Or is there really a God, watching everything. You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know man, but it keeps me up at night." Hiro stated with a sigh.

"What? No I mean why are we here." Shinji stated "I mean, what's the point of having us here every time when we could be doing someone productive like training a few of the kids in some Kenjutsu."

"Whatever. I'm just glad we aren't stuck on garbage duty." Hiro stated and they both shivered.

Nami no kuni:

"I honestly don't know. and now that I think about it, I don't care either." Kira stated with a nod.

Kakashi sweat dropped at the mother and daughter duo's antics before he turned to Naruto and silently asked "Are you going to be alright Naruto?"

Naruto sniffed again, before he nodded "Yeah, I'll be alright. It's awesome to know who my parents are, but I'm wondering why jiji never told me."

Kurenai turned to Naruto as well, and she said "Your father had a lot of enemies Naruto. Iwa is know for holding grudges, so if they found out that your the yondaime's kid, you would be attacked just to make sure that you didn't do to them what your father did."

Naruto just nodded at the two jōnin ranked Shinobi, but not even a second after, his stomach growled loudly, making everyone in the room to freeze. With an embarrassed look, Naruto says "I guess at means I'm hungry..."

Shiba gave a small laugh before she said "Yeah, I'm sure everyone here is hungry. If I'm right though, Gatō will try to have Zabuza kill Tazuna after he 'recovers' which should be in about a week. In that time, you can teach the genin some things. I hope you had the sense to teach Naruto the tree climbing exercise Kira."

Kira gave a glare toward her mother before she said "I'm not stupid mom. I had him start doing that before we graduated. Right Naruto?"

Naruto gave a nod at that as he said "I tried doing the next version, but my chakra control still sucks at the moment."

Kira gave a happy nod towards Naruto's confirmation on her teaching him tree climbing. Kurenai didn't say anything either, as her team had practiced that as well off of the normal team meeting times, well mainly the girls did, she didn't know about the boys. The fact that Kira had taught Naruto the tree climbing exercise wasn't very Surprising. The fact that she had told him about the water walking exercise on top of that, was what surprised her. She needed to make sure of what exactly her student was capable of, because if what she had said before, the. By normal standards she was way above Genin rank in capabilities.

"Enough of this now. We need to go downstairs and get something to eat so we can get started on discussing the training regime for the genin. I'm going to be training my daughter though, if that's fine with you, whichever one of you is my daughters Sensei." Shiba said with a questioning look towards the two jōnin.

Kurenai gave a small nod as she said "That would be me. I'm Kurenai Yūhi, jōnin of Konohagakure."

Shiba gave a small smile as she grabbed one of Kurenai's hands in a handshake "Nice to meet you. I'm Shiba Uzumaki, a.k.a the red mist, former jōnin of Uzushiogakure's ranks, as well as S-ranked nin, as well as the clan head of the Uzumaki, as I am taking back my position once we get to Konoha again."

Kira gave a sigh, that sounded like relief "Thank you! You would not believe how annoying those idiots on the civilian council are Dattebane!"

As quickly as the words came, Kira covered her mouth. Shiba's eyes narrowed at the Dattebane, before she silently asked "Did you just say Dattebane? Please don't tell me your going to get that annoying verbal tick that my mother, and sister had..."

Kira pointed straight at Naruto at this point and said "Hey! He says Dattebayo at times!"

Naruto paled when Shiba's gaze fell on him, and he swore at the time that he saw the outline of a red furred demon wolf behind her. Gulping loudly Naruto said "I-it's not on purpose!"

Shiba didn't seem to want to hear it as she stood up faster then most would have thought she was capable of, and she grabbed both of them by the back of their shirts. Moving towards the door she yelled loud enough that the whole house could hear "IM GOING TO BEAT THAT VERBAL TICK OUT OF BOTH OF YOU!"

Everyone who could hear her yell sweat dropped, and Kurenai looked towards Kakashi, and quietly asked "Um... Should we help them?"

Kakashi, quickly shook his head as he said "If their anything like Kushina, then that's the worse thing you could do at the moment. As sorry as I feel towards them, I think it's safer to not do anything."

"AND YOU! UCHIHA BRAT! ILL BEAT THAT 'un' HABIT OUT OF YOU AS WELL!" Shiba's voice yelled from in the house again, followed by a scream that sounded like Sakura trying to save Sasuke.

Kurenai gave one last look towards the door before she said "Kakashi, I'd never thought I'd say this to you, but your right. For our sakes, let's just not even bother with this."

Needless to say, when the two boys, and girl came back in after Shiba tried to beat the verbal ticks out of them, they fell asleep in a matter of seconds.
