Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
"Anubis is back and he's here to find and destroy every one of the Tailed demons," Lance explained softly while looking at the elderly Hokage sitting before him. "Not to mention that Atasuki is after them as well. This is trouble for Konoha."
"I've never heard of this Anubis before. What is he!" the Hokage asked urgently.
"He is the guardian of the Demon plane. He is summoned by a huge ceremony that I accidentally took part in as I was going undercover to find the leader of the Demon hunters…"
"You Uzumaki are not so bright are you?"
"No, I guess not. But this does not change the facts. Anubis is being controlled by these Demon hunters. Maybe not completely but it won't be long!"
"Are you saying that last night was just a small preview of what will happen soon?"
"Yes, Anubis is gaining power everyday but the control is erratic. Alone, Anubis is a mindless creature but with a powerful mind controlling jutsu, Anubis can be a powerful assassin. Naruto is not safe here…"
"Are you suggesting that you take Naruto?"
"With your permiss-"
"NO! Atasuki can defeat you!"
"Last night, I easily defeated Itachi!"
"Don't let your overconfidence get the best of you! I have already gotten the reports of your confrontation with Sasori. You would've died if it wasn't for the immediate medical attention you received! Everyone has weaknesses and Atasuki has a ninja for every skill. Atasuki already knows who you are and they know how to defeat you! Naruto will be caught, it will be much better if you leave him here!"
"Did you get the report of last night?"
"Of course I did, what are you getting at?"
"Did you receive the whole conversation between Naruto and Itachi!"
"I did. Naruto is just an energetic boy. He didn't mean what he said."
"Can you be so sure of that!"
"What has made you so arrogant, Lance! Why do you want to take Naruto so badly!"
"I made a promise to my uncle that I would take care of his son after he died. I have seen what this Anubis can do; he confronted the seven tails and murdered the boy! The demon was released after that and was easily taken care of! Anubis is powerful and he's not at full strength, not to mention there is something wrong with the demons as well. If the boy dies, the demon was suppose to go as well but not with the seven tails. There is something happening that requires more investigation. But I cannot leave Naruto here! Let me take him!"
"I will not leave Naruto in your care unless I know that he is in good care! You are far too young!"
"What if I left him in the care of my other uncle?"
"The chances of him coming here to take care of Naruto are slim. But if you manage to do so then I guess I'll leave Naruto in his care!"
Lance smiled and stood up. He nodded his head and headed out the door. The Hokage sat still with a worried look on his face. He looked at the photo of the Fourth Hokage and smiled.
"Your nephew is one heck of a kid…"
