After the exams ended Kira immediately went to her house in the compound to go to sleep. She had a long day and she was hopping to get some rest before her mother came back to get her training started. Her mother, on the other hand, was currently at the Hokage tower with the Hokage himself, the clan heads Of the Konoha clans, and the civilian council of two. She had an angry look on her face as she looked towards the civilian council, who were trying to convince the Hokage to make Naruto a permanent Genin, like Maito Dai, Maito Gai's father. Finally hearing enough when it came to that she slammed her hand on the table gaining everyone's attention as she said "Will you shut up already! I want you to name one time, one, that Naruto has done something to you civilians that isn't a prank!"

One of the civilian council members glared as she said " That, monster, has harmed civilians with those things you call pranks!"

Releasing a relatively small amount of killing intent at the civilians, Shiba stood up and leaned over the table causing the image of a blood red demon wolf with scars was staring at them "I've read the reports the Anbu gave for those incidents. The worst was when Naruto sent a pervert into the hot springs. If the fact that the Woman beat the hell out of the pervert is enough cause to say that Naruto caused someone harm, then your all idiots."

The Hokage cleared his throat as he said "As amusing as this is, Shiba is right. Naruto has caused little more then unrest from his pranks. Him being in a store seemed to cause more of an uproar then any of his silly pranks. If all the proof you have is that he caused unrest due to pranks, them I will have to say this. The three members of the civilian part of the council are here by suspended for the duration of the Chūnin exams, and are not allowed to voice their opinions on Chūnin promotions."

The council tried to argue, but the killing intent of the blonde woman who just entered the room was enough to shut them up. She had a sweet smile on her face, that is true, but the killing intent rolling off of Mina Namikaze was enough to make some of the more experienced Shinobi on the council to shiver in fear. The civilian part of the council left fairly quickly after that, and when they exited, the killing intent disappeared, to be replaced with a regular smile towards the council members.

Mina walked towards a free seat, before she asked "Did I miss much?"

Shiba gave a grin as she leaned back with her feet on the table "Nah, not much. Stupid pricks kept saying that Naruto should be a permanent genin. Stopped that real quick though."

Mina nodded in understanding before she said "I see. Then, perhaps we should continue this meeting?"

Tsume, one of the few who seemed suspicious of the blonde woman, sniffed the air, before she asked "Who are you, and why do you smell so much like the Yondaime?"

Shiba gave a look towards Hiruzen, to which he just signed and said "Silencing seals are up, as this is an SS-class secret, if revealed you will be put to death." Once everyone nodded Hiruzen motioned for Shiba and Mina to continue this.

"Ok, I want you all to look at this." Shiba stated before she unrolled an incredibly complex seal, that was grey in color instead of black, and in the center it had the Kanji for '20' on it "This seal is known as the Sō fukkutatsu."

"So this seal is for revival, but why is it grey, and why does it have the kanji for '20' in the center?" Shikaku asked as he looked at the seal intently.

"That, is because of me and Kuon Uzumaki." Mina stated "I smell like the Yondaime, like Tsume stated, because I am. Shiba if you could explain."

Shiba nodded and before anyone could say anything she said "This seal does what it say, it revives someone completely, including Memories. The only bad part of this seal is that the new body, and soul has to be different in a sense. She is the Yondaime but at the same time she isn't, if that makes any sense."

Shikaku, the only one who actually seemed interested in what was going on with the seal, asked "So it makes a new body and soul. Since they have the memories of the last person, as well as most of the features of the person, it created a new body to make sure they weren't the same person, correct?"

Shiba gave a nod "Yep. Now while everyone here knows that Mina Namikaze is the same person as the Yondaime, she won't become Hokage again."

Mina nodded as she said "I don't want people to become suspicious by having another Namikaze take the hat. I despise what the villagers have done to Naruto, especially since I had asked for him to be considered a hero due to the Kyubi being sealed inside of him, but it seems that that was a hopeless cause. Now, however, I wish for him to be considered at least an equal to any and all Shinobi in our forces."

Shibi gave a nod as he said "We can understand that. Why? Because it has become exceedingly obvious that Naruto Uzumaki is your child."

Shikaku gave a nod when everyone looked towards him, while Tsume said "He smelled similar to the Yondaime."

Hiashi gave a nod as he said "There are not to many blondes running around Konoha, and besides, most Yamanaka have platinum blonde hair."

Ino just scratched the back of his head while he said "Yeah. I don't know to many Yamanaka that don't have the same hair color as me and my daughter, but none have bright blonde hair like Naruto."

Choza chuckled as he said "I hope you can forgive our inaction. The civilian council didn't let us do to much when it came to things involving Naruto. If it helps though, we kept Naruto from being used as a tool like most of the civilian council wanted."

Mina gave a nod as she said "I'm glad at least someone watched after Naruto. I understand that you couldn't do much either Hiruzen, so I don't blame you, though I can't really blame the civilians either, no matter how narrow minded."

Shiba gave a hearty laugh to that as she said "Yeah, though now that everything is ok with you guys, I have something I want to tell you. Now, this is a clan secret that if I found out is spread around, I'll have your heads, along with whoever you tell. This is important to me because it involves my daughter ok?"

The whole of the Shinobi council nodded to is before Hiruzen said "Your daughter has proven time and again that she can be trusted. In fact, due to her, we prevented Orochimaru from being able to place a curse mark on one of the genin of team 7. So what is it?"

Shiba gave a soft look towards the civilian council as she said "My daughter holds half of the Sanbi."

It took a few seconds but when everyone reacted it was actually pretty mild. When Shiba raised an eyebrow at them, Shikaku said "When you think about it, is it really that much of a shocker that a second person has a tailed beast?"

Shiba gave a nod as she said "I suppose not. Now onto other business. Hokage-sama. The current Mizukage had sent a message to me requesting that she be able to watch the chūnin exams, even if Kirigakure has no genin."

The Hokage raised an eyebrow at this before he asked "Is that so? Would there be any particular person that she is interested in then?"

Shiba nodded "Surprisingly enough, it's both Naruto, and my daughter, but for different reasons then you suspect. She wants to see and meet the two that had saved two very valuable Shinobi of Kiri, as well as the people who had convinced Zabuza Momochi to go back to Kirigakure."

After gaining a thoughtful look for a few seconds, he said "Fine. I see no problem with it, though I recommend that she does not being very many guards, despite going into enemy territory, as it would come off as hostile."

Shiba gave a nod as she said "I can personally promise you that she does not mean a threat to Konoha. In fact, she had said she wanted to erase the past mistakes her village did towards the Uzumaki. We seem to have Uzumaki in every major hidden village expect for Iwa now. Kumo sent their regards as well, as they wish to make amends for the Hyuga incident those years ago."

That caused a few eyes to widen as Hiruzen gained another thoughtful look. With a sigh he said "I'm getting to old for this... Send a message back to Kumo that their Raikage is able to visit if he so chooses. Give him the same warning as the Mizukage, and tell them of the others possible arrival at the village. I do not want war to break out due to the circumstances."

Shiba gave a nod before she went to write down the messages she was going to send back to Terumi Mei, the Mizukage, and A, the Raikage for their rules and expectations while they were staying, as well as each other's presence at the exams. Like Hiruzen had stated no one wanted war to break out for such a petty reason as visiting for the chūnin exams. Once she finished with that she looked back up to see that everyone was waiting for her so she motioned for him to continue.

"Should we inform the Kazekage as well?" Shikaku asked in an analytical tone.

Hiruzen shook his head "No. It shouldn't come as a surprise that another Kage would be attending the chūnin exams. It shouldn't be a problem if we do not inform him. That added with that fact that he is traveling all the way here, as I suspect he is already on his way, it would be hard to catch him."

Shikaku gave a nod as the rest of the council members have a nod towards that. Mina after thinking for a bit asked "Who is going to be training the group from Konoha that made it through to the final round?"

Shiba perked up at that as she said "Ah. I was actually hoping that you would be the one to train Kira, Shiro, and Karin once she gets up. You did sign them up for the exams."

Mina nodded and the meeting started up again, though there really wasn't much that needed to be discussed after that, so both Mina and Shiba were about to leave, that is until a female voice yelled "Dynamic Entry!"

The door to the council room burst open and in rushed Kunia. She tucked her knees in as she spun in mid air, before she landed in the middle of the circular desk in a gymnastics pose. A few seconds later she gave the 'nice guy' pose as she said "Kuina Uzumaki reporting for mission debriefing!"

Shiba sweat-dropped at Kuina as she had a run in with Gai at one point and the way she acted right then was enough to make everyone who knew Gai to shiver. A few seconds later though she jumped over the desk and tapped Kuina's shoulder "Ah... Kuina, you just interrupted a council meeting. Didn't the secretary tell you that?"

Kuina gave a confused look as she said "I actually came from the Hokage's office and since he wasn't there I tried here. Guess I found him!"

Everyone sweat-dropped at the explanation she gave before Hiruzen said "Well, since your here, you might as well give a debriefing."

Kunia nodded as she said "Mission was a success. Apparently there were fifteen instead of what was guessed to be 6. It didn't impend the mission what so ever, so my first S-rank mission for Konoha is a success."

Shiba grinned at that fact. If the Uzumaki were starting to receive higher ranking missions, then that means that Konoha was starting to trust the clan of seal masters. The clan was extremely happy that they were getting jobs, even if they were mediocre D-rank missions, as they wanted to prove that they were trustworthy. The fact that an Uzumaki had completed an S-rank mission for Konoha made it seem like they knew what they were doing, as well as gaining more trust towards the clan from Konoha as a whole. That would also mean that the Uzumaki would be able to help more Shinobi out with their wears as the clan was always coming up with new seals to make things more practical while on missions. They wouldn't use the seals on non-mission situations, as even if they are practical, the Uzumaki like to work for things instead of just going the practical way out. This is also why the Uzumaki are so hard to beat. Unless a situation calls for it, they won't use a seal.

Hiruzen smiled at Kuina and said "Congratulations then. I know that your clan wishes to earn trust from Konoha as a whole, but the Shinobi ranks have already seen your worth and trust you, to a degree. The civilian population will always be hard to convince of something new, so if they don't trust you, it's because of that."

Kuina gave a nod before she and the rest of the council left. Shiba had left with Kuina and Mina, as she was needing to discuss the caged bird seal.

"Kuina, your best with medical seals, right? The caged bird seal is intertwined with some of the brains functions, so we need a way to get rid of the seal without killing the person." Mina stated while the three entered the Uzumaki clan compound, greeting Hiro, and Shinji on the way.

Kunia gave a thoughtful look "Well the Neurowaves in the front of the brain will be extremely sensitive to any and all stimulations that are given, so we need to be careful not to destroy the frontal lobe more then any other part of the brain, while the rest is still incredibly important. The brain frequency will be hard to-"

She stopped in mid sentence as she noticed the glazed over looks she was getting from the two women who had been listening to her. With a frown she said "Basically we need to make sure not to fry the brain."

Shiba nodded her head as she said "I sometimes wonder if your speaking English when you go on a medical rant like that. I'm a seal master as well, but I know nothing about the medical aspect of it."

Kuina just sighed at that before she walked off towards her house. Shiba continued onward with Mina, as the blonde Kunoichi was going to be training her daughter. It wasn't that big of a problem to let the blonde use the Uzumaki training grounds. Though when she thought about it it was a good thing she had asked Mina first and not Ko. Ko would have driven the three Uzumaki children into the ground. She didn't know where Naruto was, but where ever he was it was probably easier then if he would have to be trained by his father.

Once Shiba opened the door to her house she called "Oi! Kira! You in here?!"

A few seconds later Kira yelled back " I'm in the shower! Can you give me a few minutes?!"

"Make sure you come out soon! I have someone who's going to train you for the exams!" Shiba called back as she lead Mina into the living room area.

"This is the first time I've been in the compound, and I have to say, it's interesting. I don't think I've ever seen buildings like these before." Mina stated as she looked towards the buildings outside the window that look like a common American house.

Shiba shrugged "I tried my hand at architecture. These buildings save space, as you can have more floors while it stays stable. We have a larger training area because of it. Good thing to. Most Uzumaki techniques are destructive."

Mina nodded before she heard a door open. When she looked she saw Kira walking in with a loose fitting T-shirt that went below her knees. It was obvious that she didn't have her shirashi wrap on as her chest was larger then they normally were, which was made to look close to flat chested. Kira paused from drying her hair as she saw Mina, before she went back to drying it as she looked towards her mother "She's going to be training me?"

Shiba nodded "You have an affinity for wind, despite your usage of Suiton Jutsu. You can thank your father for that. Mina has an affinity for it as well so she can help you, you know. You've already learned everything about seals that can be taught, and I'm a water affinity. Not much I can do for you, now can I?"

Kira gave a sigh as she said "Despite that, your a lot stronger then me. I'm your equal in seals, but nothing else. Sure I have about as much chakra as you, but your stronger in almost every aspect."

Shiba frowned at that "Your to modest. Your a lot better then you believe, and I'm sure that you will be stronger then me eventually. Besides, this is a good way for you to learn Jikūkan(1) jutsu."

Shiba looked towards Mina who gave a small nod at that. After the indication, Mina said "You should probably get dressed. I plan to start your training right away. We won't get into physical aspects quite yet, but I am going to start teaching you the basics for a Jikūkan Fūin as soon as I can."

Kira gave a nod before she walked away still drying her hair. Seems like things are going to be pretty interesting when the exams come by.

Ok, I'm posting this one for two reasons everybody, the first, for everyone who doesn't know, Naruto ended not to long ago. Another thing about that is I hit a cannon pairing right on the head! Hell yeah! Naruhina is cannon suckers!

The second reason is that this story is going on temporary hiatus due to two story's I'm having that are going to coincide with this one. It's mainly so that I can have a different perspective towards how things came to be, such as why Mei is the Mizukage already, and why Hizashi and Hinata's mother is still alive. You guys will love them I hope, trust me.

The first story is called 'Demon child of the mist' and it's in Kiri, following the main character Akua Sudachi, which the last name is a fruit by the way, but she is trying to become a swordswoman of the mist, and is after the Kiba blades. It also takes place before the third war, so check it out if you think it'll interest you.

The second story is going to be named 'white lightning' And is in Kumo. Also it's following the character Z, I know, not original, but that's her name. Not much more on this, but I hope you will check it out when I post the first chapter.

Jikūkan= Space-time
