Making a place in a new Verse is always amusing for Harry. Especially when it comes to establishing identity. Elèanor always tends to find certain ways for allowing him to get proof for his claims. Entering the time skip of five hundred years the Eveningshade Palace was first constructed on temporal plane of infinite mensuration on the lands which shall later emerge as the hidden Leaf Village of Kohonagakure no Sato. The massive palace, similar to Harry's home Verse's Eveningshade Palace, having been created, a forest and a lake similar to the layout of the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake of Hogwarts was also created on the plane. Genetic monograms of Harry's homeland's magical creatures were released into the forest and lake while many worker clones of House-elves were left for the upkeep of the Palace.
Skipping about half a century later a treaty was signed between Harry's "ancestor" and the first Daimyo of the Fire Nation after said Daimyo lost to the infamous undead jackal army of the Eveningshades that Harry could raise from his knowledge of Egyptian Necromancy and still live due to his status as Elèanor's apprentice.
Skipping to a hundred years later the Eveningshades signed a treaty with the Daimyo before going incognito and placing the astral plane under Fidelius Charm. Skipping to a hundred years before sustenance time, agents of the Eveningshades deal with a young Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara and agree on the behalf of the Eveningshades to help build the Hidden Leaf Village of Konohagakure. The Eveningshades get a founder seat of one of three of the most votes in the Administrative Council just below the Hokage and, as per treaty, secures an oath of secrecy from Hokage Senju and makes their Seats dormant. This limits the Eveningshades only to the myths even though they help rebuild the Village thrice at the end of each of the three Shinobi War through the means of the Daimyo.
To the present time, the current Fire Daimyo receives a letter bearing the Eveningshade crest which entails the identity of Harry, how his parents died defending the village from the Kyubii attack three years ago and how the current Lord Eveningshade – the last of his kin besides Harry, wishes the Daimyo to help raise his grandson and heir to the Shade Throne as he himself is incapable of doing such as he is obviously dead by the time the letter reaches the Daimyo. He also wished to not disclose in public the heritage of his grandson until Harry himself desires to do so and to take any steps necessary to make him grow to embrace the life of a shinobi. Finally he asked the Daimyo to let his grandson keep his last name as the name of Eveningshade has been almost lost in the history by now.
All Daimyos were taught to both fear and respect the name of Eveningshade. Their very wishes must be followed with perfection. The current Daimyo was no exception. The very notion that for the first time in centuries a Lord Eveningshade has issued a direct order was enough for him to make sure that the order is followed. He also knew that the Lord was correct about the name as not even the Sandaime Hokage was aware of their importance. So placing the child under the Sandaime's care and putting him in an orphanage to reduce attention seemed to be the best idea. Still though he would have to have a meeting with Sarutobi about the circumstance that befell upon him. In the meantime he would send his guards to collect the child from the designated place as stated by the now Lt. Lord Eveningshade.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was in quite the quandary. He couldn't help but feel awed at looking at the three year old sitting opposite to him with inhuman grace unexpected at his age. The Daimyo had earlier relayed to him all about the Eveningshade Clan's hands behind Konohagakure and to say that he was shocked that the myths are true would be a big understatement. True to the stories he had heard in his childhood that was now lost in time, the child's eyes held wisdom far surpassing his age behind the genuine sadness at having lost the last of his family. It warmed Hiruzen's heart that even through the shadows the Eveningshade clan had always assisted the Leaf Village and it saddened him when he learnt that the child lost his parents an attack while saving him – just like another child he was aware of. He feared what would be the reaction of the child when he learns what the fate of that cursed Biju became. Would he, like the rest hate Naruto or would he, just like the legends of his ancestors, take the harder path rather than the easier one.
The child had another thing that not only shocked Hiruzen but also made him hopeful that the child can understand Naruto the best. An Eveningshade crest bearing letter personally delivered to him by Harry explained one of the many close-guarded secrets of the clan. Hiruzen was flabbergasted to learn that the Eveningshades for generations had been the jinchurikis of the Jubi or the ten-tails. Lord Eveningshade also explained that the sole reason they couldn't aid Konoha with the Jubi's powers during the Kyubi attack was because just more than a month ago Harry's mother had transplanted the Jubi to him making him the new container. Even now Hiruzen could feel the raw chakra of the Juubi from Harry and he has to say that even the Kyubi's chakra emanated from Naruto pales in comparison to it.
Now Hiruzen was by no means a power hungry leader like the other current Kages. But even he could realize the status Konoha can attain when he would reveal that the Leaf is now in the possession of two of the world's strongest jinchurikis. But he was no fool to reveal their status this early. While Naruto's status is known by the council due to his foolishness only he himself and Harry knows about the Jubi. And he would make sure to keep it at that. The dangers of revealing Harry's jinchuriki status is not only from outside but also from inside like with Danzo and his ROOTs. So now he has to get the boy a place to live until the boy accesses the Eveningshade Palace as his grandfather has stated. Lord Eveningshade clarified that it was only a means to make young Harry familiar to the outside world and he would be the first Eveningshade to do so.
"So are you ready to meet a few friends Harry-kun?" asked Hiruzen.
The boy simply raised his head and locked his alluring cerulean-emerald eyes with Hiruzen. The Sandaime was awed by suddenly feeling the power of those eyes. It looked like it had years of wisdom but also held a level of innocence – the only aspect closest to matching his age followed by his physique.
Nodding Harry replied nervously though fluently, "I am jiji."
Hiruzen couldn't help but chuckle at that. The boy sure was able to lighten his mood. It was afterall no fault of the boy to call him that as he himself had forgotten to mention his name and the boy would obviously not know what his stature was in the village. A welcomed change indeed.
