"By law, Shino and I shouldn't be down here." Neji said as they entered the Hokage's tomb. "Not only could we get in trouble, you could too, Naruto."
"By who? Technically, I'm the only person that can enforce the law right now. Anyway, you guys are the only two people I know that can actually keep quiet, everyone else talks too much." Naruto said and held up the lantern, "plus, I need to see if there's anyway to open this with out breaking the wall down. Shino, could you?"
"I'm on it." Shino's sleeves began to rustle and dozens of small bugs flew over and landed on the wall examining it. "It seems that in the area in the very center of the wall towards the bottom is completely solid while the rest is not. They also sense some chakra…"
"Baykugan!" Neji said activating his bloodline limit and staring up at the door. "There's a door there, a pair of them but they're sealed shut. I've never seen a seal like this before."
"Can you draw it out?" Naruto asked pulling out a piece of paper and a pencil.
"It'll take a couple minutes, it's highly intricate." Neji said taking them and sitting down on the dusty floor. Neji quickly started sketching it out and then held it up to Naruto and Shino.
"That's beyond me." Shino said surprised.
"Hey Kyuubi, come and take a look at this." Naruto said quickly and the small cloud of red chakra filtered out and became a miniature fox and landed by Naruto's feet. "Do you know anything about seals?"
"Considered I'm locked away by one…" the fox said walking over and looking at the page. "Ah… yes… A chakra sacrifice. All you do is give it chakra, but the thing is the amount of chakra." The little fox walked over and climbed up the wall what he could and suddenly the door fell in. "It requires a lot of chakra."
"Thanks Kyuubi." Naruto said. As they walked over the little fox climbed up and jumped up on Naruto's shoulder and the got on his head. "Naruto, be careful with some of the scrolls in there."
"Are they dangerous?" Neji asked quickly.
"No, it's just Naruto's klutzy and they are very old." Kyuubi snapped. "Of course some of them are dangerous… but Naruto is also very klutzy."
"I'd hit you off my head if I didn't know you'd bite me for it." Naruto said angrily then cooled off. "I want to take a small section and go through it so I'll need you guys to help me carry some back to my office."
"You should have brought Kiba, he could have brought Akahamaru and we could have put saddle bags on him." Shino said taking off his shades. "Did we bring any lights?"
"Yeah." Naruto said pulling out two flares and setting them off. He tossed one to Neji and slid down the door. He began reading the tags on the bottom of the shelves and found a section simply named 'for girls.' He moved his flare over and read 'for boys.' "Do you guys want the girls or boys section?"
"What?" Neji asked following him down and looking at them. "That's an odd way to organize."
"Back in the day, some Jutsus were considered by gender. Illusionary Jutsus were considered for girls and children. Fighting Jutsus were considered for men and boys. You'd be surprised how strong a Jutsu a man would pass over just because he thought it womanly." Kyuubi said looking around. "Something smells familiar around here…" Kyuubi jumped down and walked out of sight and stopped. "There's a summoning scroll over here. I fought against the lead many times." The little fox came back with a large scroll dragging from his mouth.
Shino picked it up and opened it. "The Horse Clan? I've never heard of them."
"I have, the Horse Clan was a legendary team of finely breed horses that had amazing chakra capabilities. However, they only agree to work if the person that summoned them thinks that they are truly magnificent." Neji explained slowly. "Also, they eat... a lot. They once ate a village out of all its food when someone summoned all eight of the horses."
"It would be effective in protecting the village if you found someone who liked horses."
"So I take it after this we have to go around asking everyone if they like ponies or not." Shino said sarcastically and Naruto nodded and smiled. "Great, sounds like a wonderful assignment." Shino said and they began to take down scrolls.
"Uncles Sasuke, why were all their heads bald." Mokuza asked quietly as he was nearly asleep in Sasuke's arms. "They all looked kind of funny, like clowns."
"I'm not sure why they shave their heads. It's probably some dress code or something." Sasuke said quickly. "Hey Mokuza, what's that ahead?"
"Huh? Konoha!" The little boy said opening his eyes to look. "Now daddy can put me to sleep."
"Actually, your dad's away on a mission right now. We'll be baby sitting tonight, Mokuza." Katsuna said clinging to the small scroll of parchment the priest had written the prayer on. "Tonight, Uncle Sasuke and I will tuck you in."
"I wanted daddy to tuck me in." Mokuza said sadly as they passed through the gates and continued on through to the Uchiha district. Sasuke and Katsuna stopped at he gates to the district and looked in at all the lit houses. "Uncle Sasuke, why do all the houses have lights on?"
"We're lending the houses out to families who don't have homes right now." Sasuke said entering and seeing two small kids run across the alley. "Haven't seen that in a long time…"
Katsuna walked over to the first house and unlocked the door opening it. She walked in and waited for Sasuke to enter then shut and locked it. Sasuke set Mokuza down on his feet. "Go brush your teeth and change and I'll be in to tuck you in, Mokuza."
Mokuza nodded slowly and took off down the hall to his room. Katsuna glided over and pressed him against the wall. "I'm going to go make us a late dinner." She pressed against him quickly and kissed him. "It'll only be a few minutes; don't tell any really long stories. And no violent one either, remember what your brother said."
"He'll have nightmares, I know." Sasuke said and pushed her back some. "I'll see you in the kitchen in a few minutes." Sasuke swiped her face quickly and smiled as he walked down the hall and walked into the bathroom to see Mokuza finishing brushing. "Come on little guy, it's time for bed."
