"Is that really you?" Tsunade asked the figure of Ryu that stood in front of her.
"Yes it's really me. I have returned, and I'm planning on staying." Replied Ryu
"It's been too long. I bet your wondering as to how Naruto is doing right?"
Ryu just nodded at the question Tsunade directed to him. Tsunade took a deep breath and began to explain as to how Naruto had been living all this time, the hate, the pain, and all the events that have taken place in the last 12 years until the mission to rescue Sasuke from the sound Nins 2 weeks ago.
Ryu just stood there taking all the information in before he spoke.
"So Naruto finally knows that he is the Kyubi. And I take it that this Sasuke is a real pain in the ass."
Tsunade just smirked and nodded. Ryu's companion just stood there without saying a word. When Ryu finally got up to leave Tsunade asked him.
"So what are your plans now?"
"First I'm going to see Hiashi-sama and thank him for what he has done for Naruto. Then I'm going to look for Naruto and have a long talk with him."
"And what do you pan to do after you finish talking to him?" asked Tsunade
"If Naruto accepts all that I have told him, then we will rebuild the Uzumaki clan together . Oh and by the way. In a few days I group of about 100 people consisting of some shinobi's and their families will arrive here. I hope you can grant them entry inside the village."
"Of course, who are they?" asked Tsunade
"They are the ones who will help he rebuild the clan." Ryu stated simply before he left.
Tsunade however just sat there contemplating all that had been said just a moment ago before she broke into a smile.
"Just wait till I tell Jiraiya about this".

Hyuga Hiashi was sitting down at the grounds watching his 2 daughters train with each other. Hinata who was once very shy and without any confidence was now slowly changing. He smiled knowing that he owed this to Naruto. Hanabi who looked like she superior to Hinata although she was younger was secretly very pleased that her sister was slowly improving herself. Although she did not show it she loved her sister very much and was very proud of her. Hiashi and his 2 daughters were soon disturbed by sounds coming from the main gate of the Hyuga estate, wondering what was going on they made their way towards the gate. Upon arriving there they were surprised to fins that 6 Hyuga members were fighting 2 figures that apparently wanted entry to the household.
Hiashi was asking himself who would dare to attack the most powerful clan in Konoha. But apparently these 2 figures were having no trouble fighting off 2 jounin and 4 chuunin level Hyuga members. Before the fight got any worse, Hiashi with incredible speed stood in between the 2 fighting parties. Immediately the Hyuga members retreated and bowed their heads as a sign of respect to their leader.
"What's going on here?" asked Hiashi
"These 2 people were trying to get into the estate without proper authorization. So we began attacking them." Explained one of the Hyuga.
"Can't you see that they are Konoha shinobi's? Why did you attack them?" questioned Hiashi.
"We have not seen them before in this village Hiashi-sama. With all that has been going on we felt that it was prudent to take action." Replied the ninja.
"I see, very well." Hiashi then turned around and faced the intruders. He was analyzing them when he felt that they looked vaguely familiar. He then spoke.
"Who are you and what is your business here. Answer or we will be forced to take action." Hiashi demanded.
"I see that you seem to have forgotten me after 12 years Hiashi-sama." The smaller figure of the 2 replied
"Forgotten you? How can I forget you when I don't even know you?" asked Hiashi "Hmm maybe this can help you remember." With that the 2 figures removed their cloaks Hiashi immediately recognized the clan symbol that was engraved on the on the back of their clothes.
"R.R.Ryu is that really you?" stammered Hiashi
Ryu just smiled before answering.
"Yes Hiashi-sama, its really me. I have returned."
Hiashi immediately ordered everyone to back away and show respect to Ryu before inviting Ryu and Liana inside the estate.
Once they were in Hiashi ordered everyone to leave him and Ryu alone to talk, he also ordered them to fetch his wife Kaoru to join them
Hinata and Hanabi could only wonder who the stranger was and why was their father showing those 2 such respect.
Ryu, Liana and Hiashi just sat in the room waiting for Kaoru to join them before they started talking. Once Kaoru entered the room she eyed the 2 strangers trying to make out who they were. Before she could ask her husband the question he answered her.
"Kaoru, that is Ryu and Liana. They have returned." He said trying to contain the excitement that was evident in his voice.
"Ryu, as in Ryu Yagami?" She asked.
"Yes Kaoru-sama it's really me." Answered Ryu
Kaoru immediately ran towards Ryu and enveloped him in a huge hug while tears flowed freely down her cheeks. Hiashi only smiled at this.
"I can't believe its really you. We were all so worried when you never sent news as to how you were doing." She cried
She then did something, which no one expected... she slapped Ryu, Hiashi and Liana just sat there with open eyes unable to believe what just happened.
"We know you had to leave. The least you could have done was send word about your whereabouts and if you were doing fine. Do you know what has been going one here? Do you know what Naruto has been through?" she than began to cry again.
"I'm sorry Kaoru-sama but I could not do that as there were people after me. I did not want to put Naruto in danger. I know he has been through a lot, and I hope that he can forgive me for not being there for him. That's one of the reasons I'm here now. I'm back for good and I want to thank you for all you have done for Naruto. I know that you wanted to do more but you could not. But I thank you from the bottom of my heart." Replied Ryu
Kaoru them proceeded to hug him again telling him she was sorry. He assured her that it was ok and that things were going to change form now on. Hiashi let them calm down for a while before he spoke.
"Ryu I am very happy that you have finally returned to Konoha. But tell me what are you plans now."
"Well Hiashi-sama the first thing I'm going to do is speak to Naruto and explain everything to him, then I'm going to rebuild my clan. My only hope is that Naruto can understand why all this had to happen, and that the Hyuga can once again extend its hand of friendship to my clan once again like in the past."
"The Hyuga will be honored to rebuild its friendship with your clan. And now I suggest you go and look for Naruto."
With that Ryu and Liana left the estate in search of Naruto.
"He really has grown up hasn't he?" asked Kaoru to her husband.
"Yes he has. And now I am going to help them in everyway that I can."
"But what about the elders? The will except Ryu but not Naruto." Asked Kaoru
"I'm going to do something that I should have done a long time ago. Kaoru I want you to get all the senior members of the Hyuga and the elders in the meeting hall. We are going to have a clan meeting now." Ordered Hiashi
Kaoru was wondering what her husband had planned.
"What are you going to do?" asked Kaoru
"I'm going to banish the elders from our clan."
With that he left the room and a shocked Kaoru behind.
