Kizu Uzumaki and Kushina Uzumaki were inseparable before Kushina's departure to Konohagakure. The two were often mistaken as twins being the same age both born the 10th of July and raised by their mothers the two adolescent redheads were way more than cousins. When Kushina and her mother went west for Konohagakure, Kizu and her mother went east for well… lets just see what we find out when the legacies of these estranged souls cross paths.
Hizuko Uzumaki is currently walking down the same path his aunts walked through the Land of Fire along with his four-legged companion Kyumari, it's been a long journey but they finally have Konohagakure in sight.
I look down at Kyumari before asking "Do you think everything's going to go well?" his fur looks beautiful in the beaming sunlight. Kyumari is the only wolf from the island with sun kiss blonde hair with red tips just like mine and even after 16 years I can get lost in it like its my first encounter.
"I hate when you do that Baka" Kyumari snapped at me agitated with my daydreaming. "Its not my fault you look like a flaming star!" I shouted starting one of our classic arguments. Before we could even think about what we were doing, we found ourselves surrounded by what I assume to be an Anbu unit. One stepped forward with a dog mask on "You two can come with us" He spoke in a monotone voice.
Before I could say anything we were already being taken away via Shushin, landing in front of a beautiful busty woman with a strange diamond in the middle of her forehead. The anbu that brought us in disappeared just as fast as they brought us in. "State your business. Clearly you're a Shinobi but no headband, we don't offer sanctuary to rouge ninja." Lady Tsunade glared deeply. 'Man if looks could kill' I thought to myself
"I apologize for our unannounced intrusion Slug Princess. I am Prince Kyumari 5th son of Fenrir King of Wolves Protector of the Howling Isles." Kyumari spoke his voice demanding respect from all three women in the room. None of them really seemed to know what to say but the pink haired teen was the first to speak "The howling isles? Tsunade-Sama?" She turned to her Hokage confused. "Not now Sakura." The hokage said dismissively and continued "It's unheard of for you're people to leave your home let alone seek humans, so what has happened or will happen to bring you here? And who is he?"
I can hear the curiosity in her voice as she turns towards me along with a subtle whisper of fear I think she should be fearful honestly. "I am Hizuko Uzumaki, we've came here searching for my cousin Naruto Uzumaki" I said slightly hesitant. "Uzumaki? Tsunade-Sama what is going on?" This time it was her assistant that spoke. The Hokage shook her head and sighed before finally speaking "The Howling Isles is most secret Sage region, three islands pass the ruins of Uzushiogakure protected by massive whirlpools the Uzumaki could barely navigate if they wanted. Wolves, Foxes, and Lions inhabit the isles each ruling their own island but also cohabitating. The Slugs of Shikkotsu Forest told me of them. Also told me they would never seek out humans unless they foresaw a threat to their kind."
Sakura and her assistant both looked at her ghostly but Sakura had the courage to speak first once again "What does this have to do with Naru-" Sakura was interrupted by someone kicking the door open making it slam obnoxiously into wall. "OBAA-CHAN I'M BACK! YA MISS ME?" Walking threw the door was an older man with long white spiked hair in a low pony tail and in front of him was me? 'Who is this Bozoo?' I look him from head to toe, his orange jumpsuit identical to my red jumpsuit. While his eyes are a deep ocean blue mine are a paler ice blue, he had 3 whiskers on each cheek while I have two.
Everyone in the room seemed to let us have this moment. He finished sizing me up the same time I finished with him and he screamed "AND WHO'S THIS CLOWN COPYING ME?" before I could even react a pink blur sent the blonde out the door and into the wall in the hallway. "Now's not the time Naruto, show sum respect baka" Sakura shouted agitated.
I looked at Kyumari for the first time since entering the Hokage's office and he's just as shocked as me but I can see the amusement in his eyes barely being contained. "Sakura-Kun I appreciate the gesture but I'm going to have to ask you to refrain from hitting my cousin" I spoke softly with a polite smile and Kyumari just couldn't hold back and broke the short silence with his maniacal laugh. "Jiraiya help him out of the wall please and Shizune find me a bottle of sake" Lady Tsunade sighed.
I went out in the hallway to talk to my "cousin" while the Hokage filled the other Sannin in on what she knew so far. As I walk up to Naruto he just stares at me awestruck not really sure what to say, I stopped just two feet in front of him "You're my cousin?" he grinned, so shockingly similar to my own wolfy grin. "I didn't know there are other Uzumaki" He continued. "Yeah I am and not that I know of. Maybe some others escape Uzushio before the destruction but not likely" I said.
"Uzushi-" "Not right now Naruto I think they have more to explain" Jiraiya interrupted. "Actually we do, the Akatsuki is more of a threat than you all probably thought." Kyumari added. Tsunade finally spoke again "We already are tracking the Akatsuki, we're aware of the threat they pose. A group of S-rank rogue ninja isn't something we would take lightly"
"The leader of the Akatsuki wields the Rinnegan but it is all being ran in the shadows by Madara and Obito Uchiha for a scheme that we still aren't clear about whatever it is, it has sages across the isles howling about running stars. Even if they don't succeed in collecting all nine Bijuu, this thing will be here in three years…" Kyumari trailed off. "My father met Madara once he saw two paths laid in front of him, one of great light and the other a darkness greater than he's ever seen." Kyumari trailed off again. "Kakashi get in here" Lady Tsunade said tiredly and through the window came Kakashi whose face was just as pale as everyone else in the room. "How do you know all of this? None of this even makes sense how could either of them still be alive?" Kakashi asked franticly. His students looking at him wide-eyed, the elders in the room sharing the same look of sympathy. "Madara would've died centuries ago and I saw Obito Uchiha die with my own eyes. Either you have the wrong information or this is some kind of setup." Kakashi continued. I looked at Kakashi and then to Lady Tsunade and she didn't look like she even had the energy to correct her subordinate "King Fenrir sent us away from The Howling Isles to search for what it is the Sages speak of and we stopped in Uzushiogak" "WHAT IS THIS UZUZUSHIGAMI PLACE YOU KEEP GOING ON ABOUT?" Naruto interrupted me. I glared next to me at this idiot that's supposed to be my cousin before continuing "I don't know about you Baka but that's the home of my Uzumaki blood and I would appreciate it if you used some respect when referring to it" I spat, everyone else in the room taken slightly aback even Kyumari. I continued, "Uzushiogakure was the home of the Uzumaki, The Village Hidden in the Whirlpools. Our family crest on your back and the flak jackets of this village. As I was saying we stopped shortly in Uzushiogakure for my first time and we met Itachi Uchiha" The reaction to me mentioning the young Uchiha was split between the young and the old. Naruto and Sakura stood there confused whereas the others looked as if they seen a ghost.
Tsunade spoke this time full of energy; Shizune finally returning with a bottle of sake "Is there anything else he told you?" Kyumari spoke for me knowing I couldn't take being interrupted one more time "This thing they have leads back to the Uzushiogakure. We found the Uzumaki hidden chamber but it requires the chakra of two Uzumaki to open it, which is what lead us here. Kizu-Sama always spoke of her sister who lived in Konohagakure and Itachi mentioned an Uzumaki here, the Jinchuuriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox."
"So be it. I'm reinstating Team 7 as Sakura Haruno, Naurto Uzumaki, and Hizuko Uzumaki under Kakashi Hatake. You three are to prepare for departure and meet Kakashi at the training ground in two hours." Lady Tsunade Ordered "Hai" we all replied and walked out the door.
"He's hiding something Tsunade" Jiraiya spoke once the door was closed "His chakra is almost identical to Naruto's. Both of Naruto's chakras" The Hokage turned to her old teammate with the same solemn face that's been oh so familiar all day "I know, Kakashi find out what it is. Shizune summon the Shinobi Clan heads and Danzo, the civilians have no business in this" Kakashi and Shizune both left immediately, leaving the two sannin with the first of many bottles of sake.
