"The King of Warriors?" Naruto said looking at Damis. Damis smiled.
"I prefer not to be called that. After all, we are family." Damis said. Naruto looked at Damos with tears in his eyes. He had family! Now he had an aunt and uncle, cousins, a brother, and a sister figure in his life. And he had Kakashi-sensi and Iruka-sensi as well as Ero-sensi. Naruto felt happy.
" But what about Kyuubi?" Naruto said.
"I am an Uzumaki. Our line was trusted with the Kyuubi because of our immense abilities. Your mother was my sister Miko's daughter. Miko held the Kyuubi until her murder. Kushina then carried kyu until your birth. Someone killed her to let kyuubi loose. Minato, your father and Tersa's nephew, sealed him in you because there were no other Uzumaki's. A one time there where six ninja villages. But enough history for now. We have been looking forward to this for sometime. We finally have all our family here together, even though one of your group doesn't know they have Uzu blood."
" What do.you mean?" Naruto said.
"There is one of your group who is related to you. Always has been but never revealed. Bevause of those things which hunt us. In order for the Uchiha to keep their eyes(cant spell) strong, they often had to mix in other clans. Fugaku Uchiha married Mikoto Uzumaki to keep this strong." Tersa said. Naruto's eyes went wide.
"I'm blood to Sasuke! How?!"
"Mikoto was kushina's youngest sister. To keep it secret, Fugaku and Minato married here in Velos. Fugaku and Minato both believed that the higher authority in the Uchiha Clan would disbar the marriage if they thought that Mikoto wasn't a far off Uchiha relative. Once married, the elders could not disclaim her as it would give them a bad face." Damis said. Naruto looked wide eyed. Sasuke was going to be happy! He had family!
"Then that makes Itachi my cousin too. And the coup de ta part of my family history. Now I suppose I need to talk with Itachi too." Naruto said softly. Damis's face was clear. Like mist Uzumakis, Damis was slender, had brown eyes but blonde hair. Tersa was petit and had vlue eyes snd black hair. She walked up to Naruto.
"We all have a history in our family that we wished was forgotten. But you must remember lest it happens again. Those who forget the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them. I understand about losing a clan. I lost all my clan to war as Damis did. Uzu no Kuni was a hidden village. It had one ally. Konohagakure. When Uzu was being over run with enemies, Konoha sent aid but it was to late. The traitors had destoryed Uzu. Uzu had an Uzukage, Arashi Uzumaki. He married his daughter to the First Hokage, a Senju. The link was to be forever. The only survivors from Uzu's noble family was Kushina and Mikoto Uzumaki, your and Sasuke's mothers. Care to guess whose genin team found them?" Tersa finished looking dead at Jirayia. Jirayia gulped.
"Ero-sensi? Why didn't you tell me? Does everyone think I'm helpless?" Naruto said gesturing with his arms. Rania steepped forward.
"No one thinks you are helpless, Naruto. The enemies of Uzu would kill any blood to the noble family of Uzu as they fear revenge." Rania said. Naruto still looked hurt. Galen broke in.
"This conflict was caused by enemies of you and your friends. If they knew you were kin to the Uzukage, the same enemies would stop at nothing todestory you. I think that your life means more to thise,around you than having you be mad at them." Galen said softly. Naruto looked around then smiled.
"You're right, Consul. Besides, I understand why it was kept from me but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. I have always wanted a family, to know my roots, and now to find so much was hidden from me, its just...overwhelming."
The group was quiet for a moment until Sakura spoke up.
"You have family. Team 7 is a family. We may not be blood but we stand by each other. That makes us family too." Sakura said putting her arm around Naruto. Naruto grinned.
"You're right, Sakura. Whose going to tell Sasuke about our blood line?" Naruto asked. Sakura smiled.
"We'll do it together. After all, we are friends too." Sakura said, putting her,arm around Naruto's shoulders. Naruto beamed. Rania smiled at her cousin ubtil she felt a slight tickle on her neck. Turning around, she saw four figures standing at the edge of the battlefield. She smirked.
"Mother, Naruto was cut using chakra scapels. Czn you fix him so I can teach him the justu?"Rania said looking at the four figures. Tersa nodded and walked over to Naruto. Naruto looked at his aunt.
"This should do it. There, all fixed." Tersa said. Naruto felt his chakra return.
"Thanks! I feel so much better. Whise Rania going to talk to?"
"Some of her spies she had in konoha. She operates a very large information network. She has spies in all the nations, near and far." Tersa replied softly. Naruto looked at them.
"That's Hidan, Kakuzu, Kisame, and...Itachi Uchiha. They're..."
"My sister's spies and two of the Sandaime. She's not stupid. Besides, the saying goes "Keep your friends close but your enemies closer"." Danok said from behind the shinobi. Tsunade's face said it all.
"So if Itachi was fighting for Konoha, what really happened with the coup de tat.?"
