It was mid morning in the village of Konoha, people were walking out in the streets doing their thing. Two Jonin that were stuck at the Main Gate were being bored, as most of the morning traffic had died down. Izumo and Kotetsu were bored as they played poker together. But Kotetsu soon noticed a traveler coming up to the gate. "Halt!" he yelled as he got a look at the new comer. He had, from what was poking out from under his black do-rag, blood red hair. On his right arm was a tattoo of a Nine Tailed Fox that was surrounded by red leaves. His left arm, however, had the kanji for "9" and "The Devil's Hand." Hiding his eyes from the Gate Keepers of Konoha was a pair of sunglasses.
They also could see the sword that was strapped to his back. The hilt was a crimson red with gold bands around the edges. The pommel was wrapped in blood red wrappings and had a sapphire the size of a silver dollar embedded into the core of the hilt. Around his neck was a spiked leather choker. His shirt was black with a faint image of a demon appearing out of the darkness [A/N: The Disturbed Guy FYI] All in all, he wasn't from here and looked like if someone said (or did) the wrong thing then this guy will probably rip their head off faster than you could say "I'm Sorry." He walked up to them, making Izumo and Kotetsu feel like they were being stalked by a powerful predator.
"Yes?" asked the man. Kotetsu recovered first and coughed. "Well, sir, we need you to sign in. Standard protocol and everything." The red haired man smirked, showing a bit of fang. "Alright. Do you need my papers?" Izumo nodded. The tattooed man reached into his back pocket and handed over his information. He picked up a pen and wrote on the sign in sheet. Once he was done, he handed the clipboard back and got his information back. With a nod, he entered the village. Once the man was out of sight, Kotetsu looked down at the sheet and felt his eyes widen into plates.

The two Gatekeepers looked at each other before going to call for an ANBU...

Naruto Uzumaki growled under his breath as he kicked an empty can. He had failed the Graduation Exam for the second time now and was trying to figure out what to do next. The blond boy grumbled as he made his way to Ichikaru's ramen shop for some much needed comfort food. 'Damn that exam anyways! Who needs to learn the Kami forsaken Bushin jutsu anyways?' he thought, not really seeing where he was going. The Kyuubi Jinchuriki soon ran into something hard. Naruto stumbled and looked up from the ground to see what he had ran into. What he ran into was a man. A very tall man that had a bad ass sword across his back. The orange wearing boy backed up a bit to look at the man. The man raised an eye brow at the boy.
"Sorry." Naruto mumbled. The man replied. "Its okay kid. It was my fault. Hey, kid. I gotta question for you." Naruto looked at the man. "Y-yeah?" "Do you know where I can get some good eats?" The blond pre-teen blinked and said, "Uh, yeah. I know a place follow me." Naruto began continuing walking to Ichikaru's ramen, wondering who the hell was this guy...

Naruto looked at the man that was walking next to him. From what he could tell, the man kept scanning the crowd, as if he was looking for something. "So, what's your name?" the orange wearing pre-teen asked. The taller red head glanced at Naruto. "I didn't give it." Naruto pouted before running slightly ahead and turned, saying "Well I suggest you remember this name: Naruto Uzumaki the next Hokage!" The red haired man stopped walking and just stared at him. "Did you say Uzumaki?" Naruto blinked, confused. "Yeah. I did. Its my name." The other man began to laugh. "Oh this is great! This is amazing! Hahahaha!" The blond stood there, wondering what the hell was going on. The red head finally stopped laughing and looked at Naruto.
"Okay, now that I got that out of my system allow me to introduce myself: Kane Uzumaki." Naruto felt his jaw drop. "Y-your an Uzumaki?" he squeaked out. Kane laughed again "Yeah I am. And man, I really didn't expect to find my target on the first day here." Naruto slowly backed away from the clearly insane man. "W-what do you mean target?" asked the blond. Kane chuckled and said, "I'll tell you once I get some food in my gut kid. I bet you are hungry too." Both Uzumaki stomachs rumbled in agreement, making Naruto blush. Kane laughed again and walked up to Naruto. "Come on kid. Show me where some good eats are and I'll pay for it. Deal?"
Naruto looked up at the older man and nodded, wondering who was this man and was he really an Uzumaki...

Naruto, Ayame and Teuchi could only stare in shock/awe/terror as Kane ate bowl after bowl of ramen, officially blowing Naruto's record out of the water. The red head looked over at Naruto and said, after swallowing a handful of noodles, "Eat up kid. Damn this is the best food I've eaten in fucking years. What do call this place?" Ayame answered, "Ichikaru's ramen." The other Uzumaki grinned feraly. "Looks like I found my new favorite eats. Kid if you don't close your mouth a fly will get in" Naruto snapped his mouth shut with an audible click.
The two Uzumakis kept eating until they couldn't anymore. Kane patted his full stomach before releasing a loud belch that effectively scared several civilians. Naruto looked at him and when he opened his mouth to say something, a loud burp came from it, making Ayame yell at them to say excuse me. Teuchi laughed and took the money from Kane. Once the older man finished paying for the food, he turned to Naruto. "Okay kid. Fire any questions you got at me."
Naruto looked at him and asked, "Are you truly an Uzumaki?" Kane nodded. Naruto stood up and said, "Where have you been for the past 11 years then?" Kane sighed. "Trust me kid. You really don't want me to answer that." Naruto saw him cover his right wrist with his left hand. But it didn't stop Naruto from seeing the several black tear drop tattoos on his wrist. 'I heard that some clans do something like that when they lost a love one. He must have lost his entire family from how many he has.'
"Well, then why are you here in Konoha?" asked the younger blond. Kane went to reply but sharply turned his head to the left, looking at the ANBU that showed up. "May I ask what does a Konoha ANBU want?" Kane asked in a calm voice. Naruto, Ayame and Teuchi felt shivers of fear dance up their spines as the tone of Kane's voice.
The ANBU didn't show anything either, he just said "The Hokage wishes to see Kane Uzumaki right now." the younger Uzumaki looked at the older red haired Uzumaki with slight worry. Kane just smirked and ruffled Naruto's hair. "I'll be back kid. Stay safe okay. I'll see what this Hokage wants." Naruto just stared at the two adults as they left, making him think 'I hope Jiji doesn't send Kane away. He is my last family...'

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked from the red head to the paper that was on his desk it was a copy of the sign in sheet from today.

Those words seemed to glare at the older man, making him mentally plot how to use this Uzumaki to his advantage. Hiruzen pulled on his "sweet grandfather" mask and spoke, "Well, this is truly a miracle in itself. There is another Uzumaki out there-"
His speech was cut off by Kane saying "Cut the bullshit old man. I can see through that Grandfather mask of yours." Hiruzen's mask almost faltered but he kept it up by replying "I have no idea what you mean Kane-san." This caused the red head to snort and take off his opaque sunglasses. His steel grey eyes glared at the old man in the room. "Look, I don't know what shit you've been smoking but if you don't cut off the shit I will get annoyed. And when I get annoyed, I get blood thirsty. And when I get bloodthirsty, people die. Pretty sure you don't want your men to die just because you don gone pissed off the wrong guy."
Hiruzen dropped the mask. "Okay, fine. I'll get straight to my point. Who are you and what is you purpose in my village?" Kane leaned back in his chair and rested his feet on Hiruzen's desk. "I am an Uzumaki. Fresh from an Iwa War Camp. Trust me, those assholes can hold a grudge like nobody's goddamn business. As for why I am here, well" he grinned evilly, "I am here to train the next Uzumaki. Who just so happens to be the Kyuubi Jinchuriki."
Sarutobi's jaw dropped and said "ANBU, arrest this man. Now." Two ANBU went to follow their leader's order but was stopped when Kane's sword was unsheathed, pointed directly at Sarutobi's face. "Ahh, about that. Yeah, I won't be getting my sorry ass arrested. Oh no, no no. For if I do, the my dear baby cousin Naruto will wonder what happened to me after I went to see the Hokage. Making him question you. And you don't want that, now do you?"
Hiruzen ground his teeth, the Older Uzumaki had a point. Since Naruto never knew his family and having met this man, who is claiming to be part of his family, will wonder and question. Possibly making the little tool loose faith in Sarutobi and become disloyal to the Village. Sarutobi sighed and asked, "What do you want?"
Kane's grin turned into a feral smile, "That's more like it."
