Naruto slammed his head on his new - technically third-hand, purchased at a yard sale that one of the civilian clans had been holding - desk as Iruka volunteered some of his precious free time to give him a crash course in "Clan Politics" so he didn't do something stupid and really step in it. Pretty much all Naruto had gotten out of the lecture however had been a headache.

Apparently, there were over two hundred clans in Konoha with membership that ranged anywhere from one individual to somewhere in the hundreds with an average number of membership of about twenty-five. Over two-thirds of these clans were "Civilian", which meant that they mainly consisted of civilians with the occasional Ninja thrown in, as opposed to "Ninja" clans which consisted mainly of Shinobi with the occasional civilian thrown in.

To make things even more interesting, the clans were divided into two categories, "Independent", and "Protected". Basically what this supposedly boils down to was that, in a fight, Independent clans were pretty much on their own, while a Protected clan could drag another clan into the mess. Due to a number of other factors, it was a bit more complicated than that.

"Protector" clans were by definition Independent clans that held one or more clans under their protection in a formal agreement, more often than not, one that was made before the founding of Konoha. In exchange for their protection, a clan could make demands of the clans under its protection as Sasuke had done when he'd gotten the KMPF back up and running using members of the clans that had been under the protection of the Uchiha. The demands a "Protector" clan could make could include monetary remuneration, food, supplies and other goods, support in battle, and hostages to ensure good behavior. In exchange, the Protector clan would be called upon to help settle disputes between the clans under its protection, or disputes between clans under its protection and clans outside its protection. Sometimes, this meant that the Protector clan would go into battle either alongside or on behalf of the Protected clan.

The Uchiha, the Senju, the Hyuuga, the Nara and now the Uzumaki - thanks to his sponsorship of Haku, and Iruka finding his former student's suggestion cute until the formal letter announcing his status as a "Protected Clan" arrived from the Hokage's office - all had more than one clan under their protection. Other clans in the village had either one or none. The fact that the Namikaze were under the protection of the Nara became irrelevant the instant Naruto was named the Head of the Uzumaki Clan.

When Naruto finished trying to give himself a concussion via the desk, Iruka sighed, shook his head, and started going over the complicated clan relationship chart once again.

Inuzuka Ashi - who had been convinced his parents hated him, and decided to spread the hate when he himself became a parent by rather uncreatively naming his kids Ichi, Ni, San, Yon, Go, Roku, Nana and Hachi (which he managed to get away with because his wife also had an axe to grind in the naming department) - stood in front of his new boss' desk looking at the new Police Chief in concern. He had been helping get the Konoha Military Police Force which dealt with both Shinobi and Civilian crime but didn't have the authority to arrest the ANBU who had taken over much of the force's duties after its collapse following the Massacre back up and running since Tsume had sent him to the Uchiha compound, gleefully commenting over the fact that she could finally "Get rid of his brats" before laughing maniacally. After all of the effort he'd put in in the last few weeks, he didn't want it all to go to waste with the last of the Uchiha dying of overwork.

The Uchiha boy who was a couple years younger than his youngest son didn't look all that good. He was showing signs of extreme physical exhaustion as well as slight Chakra exhaustion, and some serious vitamin deficiencies. Apparently, without anyone around to tell him to stop to eat and sleep, he hadn't been doing so.

That was going to stop starting now.

Despite the fact that the boy was technically his superior and it would be well within the boy's rights to punish him for doing something so undignified, he picked up the Uchiha brat who was currently too weak to do more than squirm. He had been on his way to the window and from there, the brat's home in the Uchiha District, when his daughter San poked her head in.

"Did you ask him about the Burglary and Homicide divisions yet?" San asked.

Masao stood over the corpse of a man who until recently had been one of his fellow countrymen, breathing heavily. The fight had been short, extremely brutal, and had taken a lot out of him. His family had been ambushed by their tail on their way out of Wave. It had only been their desperation to survive that had allowed them to carry the day, and even then it had been close. Out of the family, only he and his son were Ninja and he'd retired from that life long ago.

He had been aware of the fact that his son had made some sort of bargain, but he didn't think that Koyo would betray the Clan in the way he had. The Clan scrolls were to stay with the clan and be buried with the last of their clan when he or she died, as he had originally planned to do when he buried the scrolls with his grandson, symbolically calling an end to the Uzumaki as a Shinobi clan. He could understand where his child was coming from though, since he himself had wanted to be rid of the accursed scrolls and the techniques they contained that had led to his grandson's demise. However, there was no way in hell he would turn them over to the people who had killed his grandson over them.

After tending to his and his family's injuries, it was decided that it would be a good idea to get the hell out of Wave before word of their betrayal made its way back to their former home. Over the next couple days, the family slowly and carefully made it's way to Konoha while Masao did everything he could to assure his Leaf tail that he had no intention of causing harm. It was a nerve-wracking experience, and he half expected to discover that there had been more than one team following his family from their former home up until the moment they arrived at the Village Hidden in the Leaves.

Eventually, they found themselves at Konoha's gates. Masao and Koyo both moved to the front of the group and held their hands up in the traditional "We come in peace" gesture before reaching for their old Hitai-ate and setting them on the desk at the guard station. They then stood back, and made no further moves towards entering the village. Either they would be accepted or they wouldn't. If they were, then they would search for the new Head of their clan. If they weren't, any gestures that were seen as even vaguely threatening could be detrimental to their continued survival, especially considering the village from which they had come.

Inuzuka Yon sat at the check-in station next to Konoha's main gates along with his dog Han and current partner and former teammate Aburame Kochu. He would have protested the waste of their tracking abilities if he wasn't still recovering from having his leg broken in three places and she wasn't recovering from the loss of half her colony of Kikaichu.

It had been during the third hour of their shift - when he was half convinced he'd die of boredom - that the family showed up. The family consisted mainly of a bunch of redheads though there were two brunettes and two of the youngest redheads could be considered more of an auburn.

Two of the three men - an older man who had graying red hair that was more gray than red and a man in his mid thirties who was obviously his son - moved to the front of the group. They came towards them slowly in a non-threatening manner that was beginning to unnerve him. Generally, the more a person tried to show that they weren't a threat, the bigger a threat they were.

Each man set a hitai-ate down on the sign-in desk in front of him. There was an image of a stylized pair of rocks - one larger, one smaller - engraved in the metal plate of both forehead protectors.

It figured. Just when he had decided that this was the least exciting job ever, a pair of Iwa nin chose to defect.

Uzumaki family tree so far (sorry about the format I had a rather nice one that I spent a while working on, but when I tried saving it here, it screwed it up):

Uzumaki Ancestor + wife = Uzumaki Ancestor's children 1 & 2

Uzumaki Ancestor's child #1 + Wife = Uzumaki Masao's father

Uzumaki Masao's father + Wife = Uzumaki Masao and unknown # of siblings

Uzumaki Masao + Wife = Uzumaki Koyo and his sister

Uzumaki Koyo + Wife = Uzumaki Kinmaru

Uzumaki Masao's daughter + Husband = Grandchildren #s 2, 3 & 4

&!&!&

Uzumaki ancestor's child #2 + Wife = Uzumaki Seiki's father

Uzumaki Seiki's father + Wife = Uzumaki Seiki and unknown # of siblings

Uzumaki Seiki + Wife = Uzumaki Karin, Uzumaki Sato, Uzumaki Kenji, Uzumaki Ryu, Uzumaki Momoko, Uzumaki Ao and Uzumaki Kushina

Uzumaki Karin + Husband = Momochi Zabuza

Uzumaki Kenji + Wife = Uzumaki Momoko II

Uzumaki Ryu + Wife = Uzumaki Midoriko, Uzumaki Akira, Uzumaki Hikaru

Uzumaki Kushina + Husband = Uzumaki Naruto

Uzumaki Sato, Uzumaki Ao and Uzumaki Momoko died without issue. Uzumaki Momoko II, Uzumaki Midoriko, Uzumaki Akira, Uzumaki Hikaru all died without issue before Momochi Zabuza's 19th birthday.
