Dont own Naruto only OCs.

As the ships left port, the shinobis minds were wondering. What kind of man is he? Is he truly friend or foe? Danok knew explanations were needed but woukd wait until they were safely away from land.

"Milord, the Lady Tsunade would like a word with you if possible." An ANBU captain said. Danok turned to face the Neko Anbu.

"Lets go. I suppose now is as good a time as any. Are the others there as well?" Danok asked.

"No, milord. Lady Tsunade only has Lord Jirayia and Kakashi with her right now. The others are tending the injured. Here we are. Lady Tsunade, I've brought him."

"Good, Neko. You may leave now." Tsunade said as she faced the window. Neko left quietly.

"What questions do you have? I can't answer too many without some...input." Danok said, standing to Tsunade's right. Tsunade whirled around quickly, anger on her features. Kakashi and Jirayia were leaning against the wall.

"Why are you just now coming here? Didn't either of you think that Naruto needed family?" Tsunade hissed. Danok looked at her, hurt in his eyes.

"Does Jirayia know who you really are? The powerful connections you and Naruto both have? Don't you think that if we could have been there we would have been? You yourself, Tsunade, know how politics can be used against someone?" Danok asked quietly.

Tsunade loojed at Jirayia with sad eyes. Apart of her wanted to forget the past few days, but could not. Yes, she knew politics and how they were used.

"Jirayia, do you have a Damiyo bungo book?" Danok asked.

"Yes. I always keep one. Why?"

"Turn to the last few pages and look up Morta Nera." Danok said. Jirayia quickly flipped through the pages until he found want he was looking for.

"Morta Nera-FOS, KOS, Bounty 100,000,000 ryo alive, 500,000,00 dead. crimes: took out six Iwa platoon of 2000 men without provacation." Jirayia said eyes widen.

"That was you who defeated the Earth Damiyo's elite! Damn, I thought I was wanted." Jirayia said.

"Iwa is only one of many east and west countries that want mine and anothers blood. However, no one has yet to claim bounty. We are going Velos, Tsunade, it is time Naruto and another learn about themselves. Rania was angry when she recieved Kakashi's message about you so she sent these ships. We'll be there by midday tomorrow. If any of Orochimaru's freaks show up there, well lets just say that their prized curse seal won't help them."

"You can counter act the curse seal?" Jirayia asked.

"Yes and no. I'll go into more detail at a safer place than this. Besides, I would like to meet the children on board. They are the best of the best right?" Danok said smiling.

"They'll probably be with Naruto and the others. Word of warning, Danok, some of the ckans might be suspicious of your intentions towards us. I'll explain that you are an old friend of mine from the south. Not many would discount my word." Tsunade said leading the way to the med bay. Soft whispers could be heard from the other side of the door. Tsunade entered followed by Jirayia, Kakashi, and Danok.

" Everyone, listen. This gentleman who stepped in to help us reach our destination is Danok Sanos. He wishes to meet all of you. Be respectful and courteous. Introduce yourselves one at a time please. Shikamaru, you go first." Tsunade said. Shikamaru muttered troublesome.

"Shikamaru Nara of the Nara clan." Shika said looking like he was going to fall asleep. Ino went next.

"Ino Yamanaka of the Yamanaka clan."

"Tenten Yoshi" a girl with chinese buns said quietly.

"Sakura Haruno of Team 7. My teammates are unable to introduce themselves so I will if its alright Kakashi-sensi. The blonde boy is Naruto Uzumaki and the other one is Sasuke Uchina."She said softly.

"M-m-my name is Hinata Hyuuga of the Hyuuga clan." Hinata said. She was standing beside her cousin Neji's bed. Shikamaru and Ino were beside Choji, Tenten beside Rock Lee, and Sakura sat in between Naruto and Sasuke. Their sensi's and parents had left earlier for a meeting with Tsunade. Shizune walked quietly among them. Tsunade noticed that all the genin were staring curiously at Danok.

"We've introduced ourselves, Sir, can we know your name?" Tenten asked softly. Danok smiled gently. Kakashi was right all these children have some sort of gift. Danok thought.

"My name is Danok Sanos, Duke of Blackridge. I am your escort to ensure your safety on this trip. I will also help you once we reach our destination." Danok replied softly. Soft whispers were heard around the room. Asuma turned to ask a question but the door busrt open.

"Lord Danok, pirates are coming. Do you wish to fight or flee?" a crewman said.

Danok turned towardsthe gentleman.

"What flag do they bear?"

"The bones with a slash through them."

"Fight."
