Dont own Naruto only OCS.

Authors note: There is going to be romance in this fic. These chapters are setting the plot. FYI Guy will have a girlfriend/wife. Hee hee hee.

Rania sat behind her desk awaiting Tsunade. Memories that she'd kept locked away flooded her mind.

Flashback

"Tsunade, you can't abandon your cause. I know Nawaki's and Dan's deaths hurt. I've lost comrades and friends in battle. You are one of the Sannin. Please listen to..."Rania said. Tsunade glared at the older woman."I've lost everything because of this damn war! My brother, my love, everything! You can't say that losing a comrade is the same! I'm leaving this hellhole and going to drink myself into a coma!" Tsunade raged. Rania's eyes hardened. Rearing back she slapped Tsunade with enough power to knock her down.

"Go ahead. Abandon those who need you. What about Shizune? Are you going to break your promise about her too?" Rania yelled. Tsunade grabbed at Rania only to find thin air. An arm snaked around her throat.

"DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN, Tsunade, I will have to defend myself. Go, hide, but one day we'll cross paths again and answers will be given." Rania said, turning quickly. Tsunade watched Rania walk away from her. Turning, she gathered Shizune and left the village for the last time.

End Flashback

Tsunade was nervous. She didn't show it but she was terrified of facing her older cousin. She was right about my leaving. I made a huge blunder. No wonder Grandpa respected her. Tsunade briskly knicked on the Imperial Consulate Door. A young woman dressed in a noble woman's gown answered.

"Ah, you must be Lady Tsunade Senju. I am Honeydesse Stath Mojini. Rania told us that you were coming. The knock is unnecessary from this day forward. Come in and welcome. Also, yoy may call me Honey. My brother, Trent Stath, will escort you to her office." Honey said closing the door. A young man waited at the end of the stairway.

"Lady Tsunade, I am Trent. Rania asked me to escort you to her office as it will be easier to show you than tell you. Please follow me." Trent said. He went up the rounded staircase with ease. Tsunade. followed quickly behind him. As they got to the top l, Trent turned left and proceeded down two hallways until a large ornate door came into view.

"We are here. I will take my leave as Rania would like to speak to you alone." Trent said bowing. Tsunade merely nodded and turneturned to the door. Fear swelled in her. Rania was almost a powerful clan head. By rights she outranked Tsunade. Here goes. Tsunade knocked on the door.

"Enter, Tsunade." Rania said. Tsunade opened the door to reveal a large room with a very ornate overture to it. Rania sat behind the desk watching Tsunade with careful eyes. Tsunade quietly closed the door and faced Rania.

"About what happened all those years ago..." Tsunade began.

"Is forgotten. Tsunade, I asked you to come here because I want to know what the hell happened to Konoha? A prouproud village reduced to scum. Do you know I had to tell my parents? You can guess their reaction?" Rania said looking at Tsunade. Tsunade spoke.

"Stupid civilians took power away using a law that they created to overthrow Konoha's standing government. Half of those who came with me are Clan Heads and their families. Some are civilians and others are genin squads and their team leaders. All were either banished or ordered to executed. Kakashi led us here. I..."

"Wouldn't have come. Well, it seems that Uncle Arashi was right. Konoha would ruin itself. Welcome home." Rania said brightly. Tsunade shook her head. Rania never held grudges.

"Rania, Minato's and Kushina's son was the one to be executed. His name is Naruto Uzumaki." Tsunade said. Rania whirled around. Tsunade knew she'd stuck a nerve.

"What? I was told he would be protected. Minato said that tbe Sandaime would ensure his safety. Konoha's been lying to me all these years. Danzo's doing I suppose. His ROOT members met a rather nasty end though. I'm going to get to the bottom of this treachery. Now, you are officially members of Velos's High Guard. I'm assuming you will still want to be shinobis so this is the legal and diplomatic covered way. Besides, you will be in charge of assignments and all that. The Consul will see what missions you recieve as some are...different than usual. Well, I guess thats it." Rania said. Tsunade got up to leave.

"I suppose its time I meet my little cousin, I hope he doesn't hate me." Rania said, grabbing her hat. Tsunade smiled.

"Naruto doesn't know how to hate but how to understand and love. Just like you." Tsunade said smiling. Rania followed Tsunade out her door to meet her cousin and hope that Tsunade was right.
