Hello kitties. Sorry for the long wait and thank you for reviews and likes.

Like always I do not own Naruto or Xena.

Chapter 8

Poker Night

Naxena looked around the room and spotted the fairly large poker table and sitting at the table was Sarutobi, to his left was Ares. Who was grinning like a mad man at his granddaughter. Naxena just rolled her eyes.

To the right of Sarutobi was her uncle Hercules and he was busy trying not to look at his niece. For he knew this night was going to end bad with Ares and Naxena playing against each other.

"Grandpa, what are you doing her" Asked Naxena as she looked at Ares.

Ares grinned even more. "I was out for a walk and ran into Sarutobi here and he told me about poker night and I thought it would be fun and also I could get out of your grandmother hair for awhile." He told her.

Yeah this was going to end bad.

"Fine, but the second you begin to acting like a sore loser. I will summon someone and your going home." Said Naxena as she gave him an angelic smile. The temperature in the room dropped several degrees and a few could have sworn they saw their breath.

Ibiki on the other had was smirking. 'I think I need to get these kids training in T&I very soon.' He thought to himself.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio stood there wide eye. Never had they seen a Genin display anything like that. Her killer intent was monsters and put anything they could ever do to shame.

Secret location in Iwa

Commander

We have several pictures of the girl and her grandmother. Also two strange men that have been seen with them at any given time.

Also are photos of the girls Genin Team along with their senseis.

The girl has been paired with the Nara Clans Heir and Hyūga Clans Heiress. The senseis that have been seen at this time are Ibiki head of T&I, Anko right hand of Ibiki and ANBU Commander Dragon.

That is all I have been able to gather.

Gollum

'Interesting.' Thought the figure.

Private Poker Game

Tsume came walking into the back room fallowed by Kakashi, Itachi, Kurenai, Asuma, and finally Hiashi.

The Hyūga clan leader looked at his daughter with shock. "Hinata what are you doing here?" He asked his daughter.

Hinata looked at her father and grinned. "It is team training. For we never know if we will have to go undercover in a gambling den." She told him.

Hiashi thought it over for a few seconds before nodding his head. "Also it does come in handy with Clan negations." He told her with a wink.

With Xena

Xena went around the house picking up things and looking over several sealing books. She had been building her own book with new and different seals she believed would change the world.

Just then there was a knock at the door.

"Are you sure someone is here Jirayia." Asked Tsunade as she looked nervous about meeting her family for the first time.

Xena heard a woman's voice and heard her say Jirayia. 'Hmm.. Wonder what he is up to?" She asked herself as she open the door.

"Jirayia it's been awhile." Said Xena as she smiled at the man and she looked at the woman before her. "Hello." She told her.

Tsunade looked at the Goddess before her in shock. "Yo…..your my great grandmother?" She stuttered out.

Poker Game

Couple of hours had passed since the game began.

"I'm out." Said Tsume as she folded. "If I keep playing I'm bound to lose my shirt." She said with a wink to Hercules.

Hercules sat there with just his pants for he had lost pretty much everything to his brother and niece. "I swear you two are the worst to play against." He grumbled.

It had been awhile and slowly Naxena and Ares knocked each player out. Shocking and stunning everyone how ruthless this girl could be when she was gambling.

"Grandpa you might as well give up now." Said Naxena with an angelic voice.

Ares narrowed his eyes at her. "Not going to happen." He told her with a calm voice. But, everyone could tell if they kept up he was going to crack sooner or later.

Ares had three Aces in his hand. A small smirk crossed his lips. "I call." Said Ares.

Naxena grinned as she laid her cards on the table. There before everyone's eyes the girl had a straight. "Looks I win." She told her grandfather.

Ibiki just broke out laughing. "This girl would do wonders in a tournament." He said laughing.

Sarutobi had been going over a lot of the funding that the only two loyal members of the Civilian Council had show him. It appeared they had been embezzling from the Shinobi Program.

"We might have a few of our best player enter the card tournament to replace some funding." Sarutobi whispered to Ibiki.

The scarface man nodded his head. Shikamaru and Hinata were pretty good. But, his ace in the hole was Naxena.

Ares sat there pouting over his lose to his granddaughter once again. "The God of Fortune smile upon you once more." He told the girl.

"Yeah, it looks like it. I'll have to thank him again and make some more cookies for him." Said Naxena as she grinned.

Everyone looked at the girl as Ares and Hercules just rolled their eyes.

"It's already midnight. I must head home. For I have a lot of paperwork awaiting me." Said the 3rd Hokage as he stood up and left the room.

Hiashi placed his hand on his daughter's shoulder. "Come Hinata, you have a mission tomorrow morning." He told her.

"Yes, father." Said Hinata as she turned to her teammates and Senseis. "Good night and see you in the morning." She told them and left.

"Shikamaru let's go. Your mother is probably worried sick." Said Shikaku as he stood up and bid everyone a good night.

"Troublesome." Said Shikamaru as he fallowed his father out.

Ibiki nodded to Naxena and the girl grinned at him as she sealed away all her winnings and jumped onto Ares back as she yawned.

Anko watched with a grin as she eyed Hercules as she jumped on his back.

"Anko, you want me to drop you off at home?" Asked Hercules.

She grinned placing her chin on his shoulder. "I wouldn't mind going home with you tonight." She told him.

Hercules looked at her stunned as Ibiki snorted and finished his drink and left the bar.

Home

Ares and Hercules walked though the front door chatting away. When they heard Xena talking to someone in the kitchen. Both men looked at each other and walked into the kitchen to see two other people sitting at the table talking with Xena.

"About you four are home." Said Xena as she looked at the small group. "Wait four? Why is Anko here?" She asked.

Hercules blushes as he looked away. "She jumped on my back and fell asleep shortly after walking out of the bar." He told her.

Xena raised an eyebrow and looked to Ares. "What where you two doing at the bar?" She asked.

Ares grinned at her. "Helping Naxe-chan clean everyone's pockets out in poker." He told his wife.

Xena sighed at her husband's antics.

Jirayia sat back laughing at the two men. "It appears nothing has changed with you Ares." Said Jirayia with a large grin.

Ares smirked. "Nope, but whose your girlfriend there?" He asked looking Tsunade over.

"That would be our other granddaughter." Said Xena as she watched Ares almost fall to his face from shock.

Tsunade raised a golden eyebrow as she looked at the two men and the girl and woman on their backs. She studied the blonde on Ares back.

"Let's put them to bed and we can come back and talk." Said Hercules as looked to Xena.

She nodded her head. Both men took the pair to Naxena's room and laid them down and covered them up. Closing the door they both returned to the others.

"So, she is Mito's granddaughter?" Asked Ares as he walked around Tsunade looking her over. 'I can feel our blood in her veins. Also can tell she awoke some of it.' He thought as he looked over to Xena.

Said woman just nodded her head to him.

"The girl. She is Kushina's and Minato's daughter?" Asked Tsunade as she held a photo in her hands.

"Yes, she is. The last of the Uzumaki Clan. As you are the last of the Senju Clan." Said Ares. "Both Clans where warriors in their time." He told her as he looked over to his wife.

Tsunade just sat there taking everything in. She had more family. 'Would if I would meet the other.' She thought.

Okay I'm just like don't know how to finish it. So yeah.

Hope you all enjoy.

Next time we find out what mission they are going on
