It may not make much sense in a few spots because I'm time skipping the heck out of it as well as trying to cover most of the main characters in the time span if I thought it was relevant.

Well that all on with the story.

"What do you mean they lit up late last night?" Rin asked indignantly just over a whisper not wanting too wake the children. "Why didn't you wake me?"

"There wasn't anything malicious in it so I didn't see any reason to awaken you." Zabuza replied shrugging.

"You didn't think it was strange that the two of them are now sporting Kitsune ears and tails?" Rin shot back. "And who's the other girl with them?"

"You should just wake them then." Zabuza said loud enough the four children started to stir.

OOooOO

Kurama started coming back to the world of the living. The man that had been traveling with his jinchuriki had woken him along with Naruto's other two companions. He had slept better the night before than he had in eons. That's when he noticed some inconsistencies. First he was a she and she had Her fox ears and one tail while in human form. Second she was snuggled into the body of a boy from the smell she ascertained that it was Naruto and Tayuya was on his other side. "What's going on here?!" She yelled as she shot up to standing noting that she was physically around eight years old. Her tirade fully waking the other three occupants of the clearing.

"That is what we wish to know." Rin answered the red eyed girl.

"What's with all the noise this early?" Naruto asked scratching his head before stopping because something felt off. "Wasn't I a girl when I fell asleep?"

"You were." Rin answered not taking her eyes off Kurama.

"I can answer that if you'll let me." Kurama said as she slowly raised her hand.

"Hit me then." Rin shot back.

"Kami-sama had a little talk with me last night among other things. Naruto has been given the ability to control his cursed form and it'll be passed down to his descendants." Kurama explained. "And you don't have to worry about the kitsune features they'll disappear by tonight.

"That's a relief." Rin said heaving a sigh before returning to a serious expression. "Now onto more pressing matters who are you?"

'That's my brother Kurama.' "I'm the Kyubi." Isobu and Kurama answered her at the same time.

"I see." Rin said deadpanned.

Naruto's reaction on the other hand was entirely different. "Are you serious?" At the nod in answer he continued. "But I thought that the Kyubi was male."

"Until last night I was." The new girl stated blushing as she turned away from Naruto looking at the ground.

'Well this just got interesting.' Both Jonin thought at the same time.

"And there's something else you should all know." Kurama said still looking at the ground before looking pointedly at the Jonin. "There's more than just scrolls of jutsu and weapons in the seals scattered across these ruins.

OOooOO

In another part of the world Konoha to be specific. One of the nurses was just coming on duty and looking through the list of patients she was surprised at one in particular. "Ma'am what's with this patient?"

"Come and see for yourself." The head nurse said sighing. The pair looked in the room that the third Hokage was currently in they saw he was sitting stiffly upright with a shocked look with his mouth hanging open as he stared straight ahead. "He's been like this since he was brought in. On top of that he hasn't moved from that position no matter what we've done."

Meanwhile in the Hokage tower one Minato Namikaze was currently signing paperwork. "I knew I'd surprise him but I didn't think I'd break him. Oh well I might as well make my retaking position as Hokage official because this paperwork won't sign itself."

OOooOO

"Well kit I must say you have surprised me." The kitsune elder stated before her personality changed. "I agree it should have taken you far longer to finish your training." Cologne began. "Most would have taken almost twenty years to finish. You succeeded in less than a tenth of the time." At this the personalities switched again. "Now comes your final test and the hardest to pass."

"Whatever this test is I'll pass it like I've done everything else." Ranma answered confidently.

"You don't appear to understand. This test has nothing to do with your physical abilities. This test is about your willingness to accept change." The elder said as almost every kitsune in the hall nodded their heads in agreement.

"But change is inevitable." Ranma stated assuredly.

"Then I again commend for having a basic knowledge on that seeing as you have a jusenkyo curse. But again just because you know something doesn't mean that you'll accept it." The elder finished before turning to Kurashi. "You are his instructor. It falls to you to administer the final test." The elder said before bowing. "May Kami-sama be with you." She said sounding like she was sending a soldier to their death.

Kurashi herself was scared and completely self-conscious. Distracted so much in fact that she actually walked into Ranma who stood there patiently as he had been taught some measure of suppressing muscle memory. "I'm s-s-s-sorry I'm j-j-j-just n-n-n-n-nervous." Kurashi said in apology actually stuttering.

"It can't be that bad just be like you have been for the last two years.' Ranma stated off-handedly.

At this Kurashi's eyes flashed with anger as her nervousness was forgotten. "Fine you insufferable kit I give you your final test." With that Kurashi grabbed Ranma's head and gave him a kiss on the lips. At the time of contact a massive gust of wind blew up from all direction and created an impenetrable maelstrom around the pair as they disappeared from sight covered by a slightly yellow glow as electricity arced across across the now solid egg shaped sphere.

"Now we wait." The elder stated as most of the assembled kitsune left leaving two individuals to watch over the egg.

Inside the egg Ranma was in pain. This wasn't just a stinging pain either this was excruciating pain the likes of which he had never felt before.

"The final test is the ability to bond your soul with that of your instructor if they are deemed worthy." Kurashi explained through her own grimaces of pain. "If you or I as your instructor are unable to endure one or both of us will die." Kurashi continued after giving a pained laugh.

Ranma's resolve to complete this final test cemented itself further after hearing that as he shifted to his cursed form for the first time in two years. "I would never let you die." She stated confidently.

Kurashi answered with a weak smile before adding "Thanks kit. That means a lot to me."

Two days later

The two kitsune standing watch noticed cracks in the shell one went to update the elder as the other stood watching as the egg shattered. After the dust settled the kitsune saw Ranma curled up on the ground in her cursed form.

OOooOO

"Seriously I thought Isobu was paranoid." Rin said sighing as they looked at a set of sleeping twins that had appeared after Tayuya of all people had found a seal that Naruto was unable to sense cementing what Kurama told them about her being an Uzumaki.

"The Uzumaki had a reason to be paranoid they were the most feared clan for a reason. Every generation had their most unique and powerful individuals sealed to ensure that if Uzushio ever fell there would always be someone to continue the clan." Kurama explained.

"Then explain to me who would unseal them seeing as it takes an Uzumaki to undo the seal?" Zabuza asked.

"If that ever occurred the seal on the person that was sealed when Uzushiogakure fell would be undone and they could unseal the rest of the people that are sealed." Kurama explained further. "And before you ask Rin it was strictly voluntary and only those that were at least chunin if not Jonin were chosen."

"But aren't these two awfully young to be chunin?" Haku asked.

"Tell me something Haku. What level do you think you are as a shinobi?" Kurama asked.

"I don't know mid to high genin maybe." Haku answered.

"Very good Haku by Uzushiogakure standards that would be true." Kurama answered with a sobering expression. "But by Konoha standards you would be mid chunin."

"Seriously our standards of ranks have fallen that far?" Rin asked.

"Well those that are Jonin-sensei are still on the equivalent level of strength and intelligence as Uzushiogakure had so you can take comfort in that."

"If I wasn't aware of who you are I'd be offended by that comment." Rin shot back.

"Glad to hear it." Kurama replied sarcastically before sauntering away.

'He plays the little girl way to easily.' Rin thought.

"So true. He's beginning to worry me." Isobu answered her.

'When aren't you worried? Though just this once I have to agree.' Rin thought in response.

Over the next year and a half they scored the ruins collecting the various scrolls. Their biggest break came a year in in the form of a man named Gomez that had been sealed away when the village was more or less doomed. After letting the forty year old man mope for a week Zabuza being fed up with waiting gave him a kickstart in the pants.

After that there searching became more productive because Gomez knew where most of the seals were located. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

OOooOO

"GAAAAAHHHHH! I've had it with this paperwork!" Minato screamed after having spent three days stuck in the office. Standing he got into a stance with a familiar cross sign. "Shadow clone jutsu." With that six clones sprang into existence. "Alright boys you know the drill."

"Right away boss." The clones declared in unison as they gathered a stack of papers each and got to work.

"It's nice to see that my beloved husband is doing his best to keep the village running smoothly." Kushina said as she walked in and sat on the corner of the desk.

"Just one of the joys of being Hokage." The original Minato said sighing.

"And you're doing a very good job of it." Kushina said almost seductively as she claimed her husbands lips preventing any further response earning a wolf whistle from one of the clones.

OOooOO

Sarutobi after recovering from his shock made an announcement to the village that he was again retiring after confirming that Minato Namikaze was the real deal. At this moment he was relaxing at the village hot springs after some leisurely training. 'Can't let myself grow weak from old age and disuse now can I?' He mused to himself with a smile.

OOooOO

"Woah what happened to you mom?" Ranma asked interrupting Kushina and Minato's make out session. "You look. Young."

"Ranma you're back." Kushina said jumping at the intrusion as she spun around to face her daughter.

"Yeah I just showed up here actually." Ranma deadpanned.

"So how was training and who are your summons?" Kushina asked.

"Training was fulfilling. And my summons are the Kitsune." Ranma answered flatly.

At that revelation Kushina stared shocked and the seven Minatos dropped the stamps they were holding. "You mean the summoning contract that has been missing since the time of the first Hokage, whom the boss summons is the Bijuu sealed in your brother? That summoning contract?"

"Mhhhmmm." Ranma hummed in answer with a straight face. "Now where can I find Ryoga I need to speak with him."

"He's out on a mission should be back in a week." Minato answered looking at the Jonin Roster. "And congratulations you have officially made jonin. Please accept this vest and wear it with pride as a shinobi of Konoha." Minato produced a flak jacket that Hiruzen had told him was there for this particular person as it wasn't the usual green but a deep red.

"Thank you Hokage. Or should I say dad?" She asked giving him a questioning look.

"Either is fine." He answered as he resumed stamping papers with his clones.

"Now would you mind explaining why you need to speak with Ryoga?" Kushina asked her curiosity getting the better of her.

Ranma sighed before answering nonchalantly. "I'm Pregnant."

OOooOOooOO

Should I say something? Need I say something? I think not.

Oh come on Shane you're no fun.

But really I have nothing say.

For having nothing to say your saying a lot at the moment.

Be quiet you.
