Explanations

"And how long has he been hiding like this?! Considering, even you didn't know Hokage-sama, it leaves much to be wary of! We need to consider the boy as a threat!" This has been going on for quite some time. The Hokage could only rub his temples to head off the coming headache. After the passing of the failed invasion, he has been stuck listening and arguing back with the council about the recent events. Most of it about a certain red-haired saiyan. They have been arguing about learning his secrets for so long. He really wished Minato was alive so he could deal with this mess.

He was getting too old for this shit.

"Alright, that's enough!" The room went quiet; the attention was finally concentrated on him. "This conversation has gotten out of hand. Whatever secrets that Naruto holds are his. It doesn't matter how long he has been hiding this. All that matters is that he used it to help the village from being destroyed by the ones invading. As there is nothing else to discuss, this meeting is over. You're all dismissed."

Those that were against the boy, the elders being Homura, Koharu, and Danzo, left the room with narrowed eyes. Those geezers' eyes were almost always narrowed, so who knows if they were just like that. The clan heads soon made their way out as well after bowing towards Hiruzen. Once the room was clear, the old professor leaned back in his seat and sighed; finally, some peace.

"Yo, sensei!"

Kami fucking damn it.

Currently, on the other side of the village, there was more commotion going on. Well, more-so intervention. An unwilling intervention, but one that these two could not ignore. The reason why teams 7, 8, and 10 were at a training ground together. Team Gai was here as well, minus Rock Lee; he was still stuck in the hospital. Naruto and Satsuki were standing before the scrutiny eyes of their teammate and friends (friends being used loosely by Satsuki) as they stared them down. It wasn't intimidating or anything, but was getting too awkward levels.

Some of the girls, Ino and Hinata, had pink coloring their cheeks. Naruto, after his whole unsealing transformation, had changed clothing. His old jumpsuit was trashed and was replaced with something that really showed off his physique. He wore a sleeveless black kimono top that had a red swirl on the back, with nothing underneath, showing off his toned chest and arms. For pants, he had on black combat pants that had dark orange stripes going down the sides. On his feet were steel-toed boots that his pants tucked into. They could all see his monkey tail wrapped around his waist, acting as a belt.

"So, how long have you been hiding like this?" Ino was the first to break the silence with her question. Leaning forward to stare at both of them with suspicion and intrigue. The amount of gossip she could get moving from this situation would be huge! She was also wondering about their relationship with one another. If they both knew about each other's secrets, then how much of their time at the academy was fake?

Both Naruto and Satsuki looked at one another for a moment before turning back to the group. "Since before the academy," Naruto answered. Crossing his arms, he leaned against a tree before his head tilted up to stare at the blue sky. "We actually didn't know about each other's secrets until after we passed our genin exam." This was a surprise to Sakura. It was also pretty hurtful to hear as well. They were a team. Yet, they trusted each other with their secrets but didn't even bring it up to her. Of course, she hasn't been acting much of a teammate for them. She knew she wasn't anywhere close to their level. Even more so compared to what Naruto showed off at the stadium. How far did she have to catch up to them?

"It was completely by accident that I found out about Satsuki actually being a girl. Even if it was funny." he chuckled while the female Uchiha glared at him with mild annoyance. No matter which version of him stayed, he was still annoying. "The shock on your face when I walked into that clearing. Didn't think you would have a birthmark down,"

"If you finish that sentence, I will tie you upside down that tree by your tail!" She yelled. Her eyes glaring holes into his head. Naruto chuckled lightly with a smirk growing on his face. This received curious looks from those watching the interaction. They could question that later though, they had some more questions to get to.

"How did you hide the fact you were a girl this whole time?" Kiba asked while admitting to only himself that the way Sasu-Satsuki appeared now was not terrible. She was cute and, he couldn't lie. He found the now female Uchiha attractive enough to try and get a date possibly. He would need to take time before he did that. They would all need time to adjust to the fact the person they knew to be a boy was a girl the whole time.

"A special clan created jutsu. My mother knew what would happen to me if it got out that I was a girl and the last surviving member. I guess it was her way of planning for the future. Considering before I was a genin, I could be forced into a marriage contract by the higher-ups of Konoha. It would be a way to ensure the Uchiha bloodline wouldn't be lost." Satsuki said with a grimace on her face. The other girls here could understand that point as it would be terrible to be forced to take on a marriage contract just because you were the last person of your bloodline. You know, besides the one who betrayed the village and made it that way. "Using this jutsu, I would be turned into a boy. Allowing me to control my fate with who marries me and who gets accepted into my clan. While there is a possible chance they could have forced such a thing on me if I was a boy, I had a higher chance of it not happening."

Everyone was willing to accept this answer. Hinata specifically knew it well. Her family was strict on traditions and eventually would try to force her or her sister into marrying someone if they didn't find someone in the distant future. She wouldn't put it past them to already try and set up a contract marriage to be completed down the line. All because of the want of more political power.

"What's with the tail?" Tenten was the one to ask the next question. Naruto blinked before his eyes went down to said appendage. He unfurled it from his waist and let it swing around behind.

"Part of my Saiyan heritage. I won't go into full details about what a Saiyan is, since it would require a long time to explain, but just know that part of my family was not from here. And by here, I mean this planet in general." This threw everyone by surprise. He can't be serious. They were to believe that someone of his family belonged to another planet? That's just crazy! There's no way Naruto was part alien or whatever; Aliens couldn't be real either.

Right?

"Why is your hair red now?" Choji asked while snacking on one of his favorite brand of chips. He wasn't curious much like everyone else about Naruto's change. The guy was still the same Naruto they knew, just a little different now. Though the hair change was strange. The only other person he's seen with hair that color of any kind was from his dad.

"Oh, that?" Naruto ran his hand through his crimson locks with a soft smile on his face. "It is my original hair color. I never was a blonde despite living like one for so long. If you must know, all Uzumakis have red hair. If you need more information about that then ask your family about the Uzumaki Clan." Yet another surprise for everyone! The Uzumaki was a clan?! Since when? Why did Naruto's existence bring more questions than answers!

"If that's all the questions you guys have, then I'll see you all later," Naruto said with everyone watching him beginning to fly in the air. Shikamaru was slightly jealous now. He could fly and be able to be with the clouds all he wanted. Satsuki just closed her eyes and walked away. This whole thing felt like a waste of time. She only did it because Naruto was forced to do so as well.

Sighing, she continued her trek while her old classmates began dispersing their own ways. Looking up, she saw Naruto flying to the south of the village. Most likely heading home himself. She wondered if there was a way for her to learn how to fly like that. She would be damn though to ever confront him about it though. Just cause they shared each other's secrets in the past, didn't mean she would be asking the dobe for any help. If she couldn't get stronger with her own abilities, then what was the point in asking someone else to teach her something she didn't know anything about. His "Ki" or whatever was different energy compared to chakra.

Besides, it wasn't that cool...

(ASR)

'Well, that was a waste of time.' Naruto thought to himself. He was going to make a stop at his apartment. Unfortunately for him, it was one of the few places in its area that were destroyed. The ones hired for the rebuilding process, those from within Konoha, were taking their sweet time in rebuilding it. AKA, they were not because they knew he was the one who lived there. Didn't really matter to him. He had planned on moving out of that place anyway. They were just saving him the trouble. Not like he had anything important in there. Most of what he owned that was important was sealed in a scroll that he kept on him or Jiraiya.

Speaking of the pervert. Naruto could see his form outside the hot springs. A typical spot for him. Floating just above him and seeing that his godfather was up to his usual perverted ways, Naruto decided to have a little fun. Holding up a finger, a small ball of ki appeared. Smirking, he aimed for his backside and shot it. The results were as expected. Jiraiya yelled loudly at being shot in the ass, which caused him to slam into the wall he was peeking through. Then, like clockwork, women from the other side came out wrapped in towels with murderous intent filling their eyes.

"Uh... have mercy?" Jiraiya asked while giving an uneasy smile. When he saw the woman in front crack her knuckles and the two behind her pull out kunai. Where they held them, he wasn't sure. He had more pressing matters to focus on. Like the pain, these women were now doing against him. Naruto chuckled at the girly screams the old toad was letting out. It was music to him. Hmmm, seems when he brought out his Saiyan heritage, it released his sadistic side. After a good three to five minutes of watching his godfather get beaten up, the women left him there before returning to the hot springs. He chose this time to land down next to his crumpled body and chuckled.

"You never learn, do you, Ero-sennin?" Naruto questioned with a smirk on his face. Jiraiya grumbled while dusting himself off. No respect for a man of his craft or skills.

"I thought I told you to stop calling me that. What are you doing here anyway; Weren't you going to be training to get used to your body again?"

"Meh," He shrugged while watching his sensei grab his notepad to write down some things. "I think the whole fighting during the invasion gave me a good enough adjustment. Though, I'll need to practice using my ki again. I was using a lot more energy for attacks than I meant to use. Especially when I took down that barrier."

"Well, you can work on that later. I talked with sensei after he met with the council. He assigned me and you to go searching for his next successor. Tsunade Senju, my old teammate, and your Godmother." Naruto hummed lightly while rubbing his chin. So, he would finally meet his Godmother who has been awol for more than half of her life and his own. He got lucky that Jiraiya was searching for him when he was younger to reveal everything. Granted from what he told him, the toads gave him a beating every day he didn't come to talk with him when he was a child. At least he had someone looking out for him.

"Alright, then. When do we head out? I could use a moment to gather some things. My apartment building was one of the few in that area that was destroyed because of that stupid snake. You already can guess that the assholes in charge are taking their sweet time in building it." Jiraiya sighed at that. People were idiots; despite how much he loved this village, he couldn't help but feel like it needed a good kick in the ass at times. The invasion did help with that little department, but it sure didn't help with how people still saw his godson.

"It can't be helped. Seeing as you decided to unseal yourself now, you were going to leave that dump for good. You remember the direction of the house your parents left you, right?" He received a nod, which made him smirk. Naruto raised his hand to catch a scroll that Jiraiya had tossed to him suddenly and saw it labeled 'keys'. "Then that's all you need right now. When we get back, you can head into your parent's estate and get settled down. Luckily, their house wasn't completely in the village and is just a little bit away within the surrounding forests." Naruto grinned before placing the scroll away in one of his pouches.

This was perfect for him. All that would be left is having him recognized as a clan. With his abilities, there was no way anyone could deny him. Whether it was Tsunade or Hiruzen, they would see him become the official Clan Heir of the Uzumaki Clan. And all the political power and property it came with.

Which would finally give him access to Uzushiogakure.

"Awesome! Then what are we waiting for? We got a woman to find!" Jiraiya had to cover his face when Naruto took off from the ground so fast it created an updraft. When he moved his hands, he saw the blonde saiyan flying across the sky towards the north gate.

"HEY! Wait for me! Not all of us can fly like you, ya damn gaki!" Jiraiya shouted. He was running and jumping across the rooftops to catch up. Many were questioning why they were hearing laughter echoing through the village like it was a passing wind.

"My lady, you need to wake up." An angelic voice spoke up. The woman was fairly tall. Standing around six feet in height, with light blue skin. She had white hair wrapped into a bun with two chopsticks keeping it in place. Her outfit was an amber-colored robe with a red cuirass over it. The cuirass had black diamond shapes lining the front with the sides being stripped black. In her hand was a black scepter with gold at the top. Floating above it was a dark gem that had a blue ring around it. Similarly, there was also a blue ring that floated around her neck. Most of her body was covered by the robe so there was no way of knowing what kind of body she had. Currently, this woman was trying to wake up her master who was laying in her God-sized bed that had dark blue and lavender blankets and pillows. The angel watched her lady take a pillow and place it over her head.

"sigh, guess you want it the hard way." she tried to say this sympathetically but the smirk on her blue lips told otherwise. Raising her scepter in the air, a bucket filled with cold water appeared. She wasted no time in letting it fall over and splashing her liege. There was a loud shriek that echoed across the planet they lived on.

"WHAT THE HELL, KARI?!"

"You weren't getting up, Mea. You do have a schedule to keep my lady and I can't have you sleep in every day." Kari said with a closed-eye smile. The one named Mea grumbled as she removed the wet covers and clothing from her body. Standing up she stretched out and sighed at the relieving cracks she heard. This woman stood shorter than the other, being five foot eight in height. Still relatively tall for a woman. She has dark mocha skin that looked smoothed and soft. Her bare breast was plump and held no-sag from the looks of it, being around D to Double D size. Her hair was white like snow, shaped into a mohawk that came down to her left side. She had a bubble butt with wide hips and just before her nether regions was a small patch of snow-white hair. Showing she was indeed natural. After stretching she opened her eyes, which were an electric blue color with the storm-gray sclera.

"Was it necessary to use a water bucket on me?"

"Yes."

"Why do you enjoy ruining my sleep?"

"I have no idea what you mean, my lady."

Mea growled seeing that cheeky smirk on her angel's face. Being the God of Destruction with such a cheeky angel was fine but only when her mischievous tricks were on other people. She just wanted to sleep in damn it! Sighing she just turned around and headed for her restroom to shower up. After fifteen minutes of relaxing in her luxury bath, she came back out with a lavender crop top that left her shoulders bare. Around her collarbone was a blue and gold collar cloth. Around her waist was a black wrap that held up her black skirt. Her hair was fully up after being washed and was now a full mohawk look with the back curving forward (Think of storm from the marvel comics when she had a mohawk). She had on high heel shoes to finish off her GoD look, which she knew made her look extremely sexy.

"Let me eat before you start giving me any kind of news," Mea said while moving past her angel. Kari giggled and followed along with her lady to the feast hall.

"Are you sure? I have found some interesting news about a race we thought went extinct."

"Oh, joy," she said in a monotone voice while sitting down at her personal table. Food was freshly prepared for her earlier before Kari had come and rudely awakened her. Mea didn't wait to start digging into an omelet that was in front of her. "Whatever or whoever it is can wait. I like to get a full meal before I destroy anything."

"I don't think you would want to destroy this one. The person is a Saiyan." A smirk came to the angel's face when she saw her liege stop mid-bite and turned to her with surprise. "I felt a spike in their energy far off on a planet that isn't connected with the rest of the universe. They are also the only Ki level I've sensed on the planet, but the people there also have a different source of energy coursing through their body."

Mea rubbed her temple and sighed. How could a whole planet go so far off her radar? Did the Kai of their sector even know about this? If they did, she would pound the bastard through his planet for not letting her know about this place. "Alright. Tell me everything you found out about this place. But only after I finish eating!" She glared at Kari who simply shrugged and sat down herself. Satisfied Mea went back to her meal while thinking about this new planet they all haven't noticed before.

[Alright, yeah this is a pretty short chapter. But I'm working on chapter 1 of A Brotherhood Returns and I wanted to get something out.
