Dont own Naruto only OCS
Tsunade's voice cracked as she said the name of her long dead little brother. Nawaki turned to face her, a mixed look on his. Tsunade walked over to him. When she was close enough, she reached up and touched his face.
"Nawaki, is it really you?" Tsunade asked. Nawaki reached and touched his sisters hand on his face. He didn't want her to find out like this but the dice were cast.
"Yes, Tsunade, it's me." Nawaki replied. Tsunade looked at him. Tears began seeping down her cheeks. She grabbed him in a fierce hug. Nawaki returned the hug.
"How? How are you alive? Orochimaru said you died in that explosion. He brought me your necklace." Tsunade asked. Nawaki looked at her then at Rania. Rania, seeing as Nawaki didnt really know the whole of it, spoke.
"When Nawaki was in that explosion, he wasn't close enough to him to kill him but it did severely injure him to the point of near death. Orochimaru knew that there wasnt a healer who could help him anywhere in the Nations, so he brought him here. Nawaki was in a deep coma, his arms and legs mangled. Orochimaru knew of my relationship to you so he bought him here for safe keeping. He decided to tell you Nawaki had died so that those hunting him would think they achieved the goal. Nawaki remained in the coma for one and a half years. When he woke, he had to relearn everything. His limbs were mangled so he had to learn to reuse them. Nawaki retained his memory but decided it was better if he remained dead to the world so that the hunters would stop." Rania told them. Tsunade stood in silence looking at the older woman. She had her brother back. A question nagged her however.
"Nawaki, if your arms and legs were l
mangled, how are you moving?" Tsunade asked. Nawaki cast a look towards Rania once again. Rania spoke.
"Basically, his arms and legs were mush. Doc spent weeks working on a way to fix them. He found one but Nawaki would gain some unusual power from it. Doc gave Nawaki a choice. Nawaki chose to be a fighter." Rania said softly.
"Nawaki, what does she mean?" Tsunade asked him. Nawaki looked at Tsunade, his voice soft.
"I've had demon blood infused in me. In short, I'm a half breed. I knew the consequences of my decision and chose to do the surgery. I had to relearn everything still. It was like being little again. So I stayed here and became a shadow figure. I had hoped to reveal myself in a more subtle fashion but I couldn't let them blind the girl." Nawaki said softly. Tsunade stared at him before grabbing him in a hug again. She was happy. Her people were safe, her brother was alive and they could start over. She hooked her arm in Nawaki's, a smile on her face.
"Why don't we go somewhere quiet so we can catch up? Rania, you don't need us for anything else?" Tsunade asked. Rania shook her head. Tsunade headed off with her brother as the nins headed towards their section. Rania watched them until she felt they were safe. She absently rubbed her arm as it was aching. A gentle hand laid on her shoulder. Rania turned around to see Danok there.
"We need to meet with the others. These accidents need to be addressed." Rania said. Danok nodded. Together they headed off to the Consulate.
Konoha
"We have no money. The traitors took it with them. I have brought the banker with me to answer questions about this." The ROOT non said. Danzo's face showed no emotion but he was furious. Orochimaru was red faced.
"Explain. How is that all the clans wealth is no longer here? Only the banker and the clan heads had access to the bank." Danzo said coldly. The banker began to explain
"My predecessor was not very keen on the bank security. Someone was able to change the clan money scrolls with the fakes and left these notes on the piles." The banker said. Danzo grabbed the note and opened it.
Danzo,
You finally succeeded in getting Konoha under your thumb. I have had certain measures in place just in case this happened. A good friend of mine will take the clan monies from Konoha should you take over. Good luck on building an empire on a broke village.

PS- How do you like the color brown?
Because when you opened the seal of this letter, another seal was opened that releases a surprise.
Kushina
Danzo was furious now. Without the clan money, Konoha would have to ask the Damiyo for money. Suddenly, a large POOF sound rang out. Danzo was covered in a cloud of smoke. The smoke dissipated to reveal a dung covered Danzo. The sound of faint laughter rang out. Danzo was now covered with dung and broke. Orochimaru merely glanced at Danzo.
"Kabuto, send some cursed seal soldiers to destroy these nins and bring their bodies back to me. I will ensure that I will have a new body."
"Yes, Lord Hokage, I will send our best." Kabuto replied, leaving the room. Kabuto smiled at the thought of having new bodies to "test" his skills on. The best ROOT nins were those who brought them the best slaves. Silently, a shadow moved quickly behind Kabuto. Kabuto opened the door to reveal 7 nins.
"Master wants all the nins dead and their bodies brought here. Do not fail." Kabuto said. The nins bowed their heads in accent. Kabuto left as he came, unaware of his tag along. As Kabuto left, the shadow formed into a small bird and flew away. It flew out an open window into the forest. In a clearing, a woman, hooded and cloaked, sat on a horse, awaiting her pet. Soon the gentle of flutter of wings was heard. The bird flew into the clearing and landed on her hand. She smiled
"Hello, my little pet, what have you seen from our enemy?" She asked. The little bird showed the woman what it had seen. She smiled and thanked the little bird before setting it free. She kneed her horse and rode forward until she came to a rocky outcropping. There, seated in the shade of the Rick's, were 2 men. One was tall and muscular with tanned skin and the other was not quite as tall as his companion but still tall with slender muscles. He was lightly tanned. They both had light brown hair and sparkling blue green eyes. The taller one spoke.
"What have you found, Mirna? What does the dark one do now?" The man asked as Mirna dismounted. Mirna spoke softly.
"Careful of you voice, Tokar, it carries thru the air quickly. The dark one plans to use the bodies of our Master's recently returned cousins for his own use. We must warn Master Danok that he is sending his minions. Belfur, can you teleport us to Velos? These things have no souls. They are programmed killing machines." Mirna asked the shorter of the two. Belfur looked up and sighed
"Yes, Mirna, but it will weaken me to teleport us there. However, it must be done. Gather around." Belfur said. Tokar and Mirna gathered into the circle, her horse standing beside her. Belfur took a deep breath and began to chant
Upon the sea of wind
Upon the expansive sky
To the Northern Divide
Take us to our Master
Guide us with the enternal light
As he chanted the words, air rose around them, covering them. As he finished, the air bubble lifted and zoomed off to the south, streaking like a star across the noon sky. Below, seven figures were running towards the south, unaware that they were already to little to late. A little bird watched as the seven figures disappeared into the forest. It flew in the direction of the bubble, knowing that its mistress was inside. As it flew near Konoha, a chilling laugh rang through the air. A laugh that chilled the little bird to the bone.
