Chapter 3: it's a family thing

Walking down a deserted road were three figures, the first was a tall blond haired green eyed man in his mid-20's that was wearing a blue button down shirt tucked in a pair of black dress slacks and shinobi sandals. The second was a woman with dark blue hair that went to her mid back and dark green eyes wearing a purple kimono that showed off her lovely figure, each were carrying a katana on their backs, the final person looked to be 12 with dirty blond hair and sky blue eyes with three whisker like birth marks on his cheeks.

"I still don't know what Seito was thinking when he got the two of you to guard me, I'm not a little kid who can't take care of themselves" said the blond boy currently walking between the two.

"Seito was concerned the leaf might not take your 'death' seriously and try to find you another way, and besides from what Kushina-sensei use to tell the tree of us you were always getting into trouble DARK" the woman said with a evil gleam in her eyes.

The man chuckled to himself and replied, "don't worry you two, if the leaf don't buy the whole 'death' seen there will always be the bodies they discovered and with the bigots on the council they will most likely throw a party to celebrate your demise."

Dark groaned and replied in a deadpan voice," Remind me again how in the world Seito convinced you two to come along on this journey of mine and the boy's?"

Smirking slightly at Darks mood the woman said, "Because when me, Anko, and Kurinai trained under Kushina-sensei Seito came around every now and again before we each went into our own areas of expertise, and of course me getting the title of ANBU and assigned to be the body guard of the boy you are currently residing in. Not to mention that I was lied to by the Hokage that you were just some no account orphan and flat out refused to let anyone adopt you."

"Now, now Yugao-chan, if it weren't for Dark here then we would still be in the village and you my dear would still be under the Hokage's orders." The man replied with a little worry in his voice.

"'hump' It's not like I wanted to be in ANBU but Kakashi told his own sensei about my skill level and that after Minato died and the Third took back over he told me I wasn't allowed to quit because they needed all the manpower they had to make up for Kagome's rampage."

"'grown' At least with two of you we can blend in with the surrounding populace and not have to worry about being caught with our pants down, oh yea, I been meaning to ask what did Saito do to the two of you to make you look the way you do. Not that I'm complaining but…" asked Dark while looking at the tow.

"Not sure myself but we were just sitting at home after you host's raid of the Hokage tower and we decided to fix us something to eat when Seito came in and flat out gave me a heart attack and threw me into a coughing fit."

"That reminds me, I have to thank him for fixing that troublesome cough that was bothering you dear." "Not to mention the fact that he helped us 'die' right under the leaf's nose"

Looking at the two Dark asked "Did he use the cadaver technique to 'kill' us?"

Hayate looked at Dark and said with a deadpan voice "Yes, man I think I'm going to have nightmares of those…things for weeks. At least we know they work and don't have to worry about hunter-nin coming after us."

"Yea, Saito has used that technique more than one time to get away from someone who wanted him killed so it was a nice, but are you sure you won't miss you old apartment you shared? You did have to blow it up after all" asked Dark as he looked at the two lovebirds.

"Not really but I was surprised that Yugao didn't try to take his head off the minute he came in."

"He came to me and said something about me growing up to be a fine young woman and if it weren't for the fact I met him before I probably would have smacked him and called him a pervert and peeping tom. We talked and he told us what was going on and here we are to pose as a fake family with you being my fiancé's smart mouth little brother with the fake names and ID cards that Saito got for us."

Chuckling Dark replied "I think I liked Hayate better with the mop top that he had." Witch earned him a fist to the skull from Yugao. "I still can't believe that jerk changed my hair color to BLUE, of all the…" as she continued down the road on her rant that neither male wanted to be caught in.

(Down the road, small town on the fire, wave border)

The trio of shinobi stopped in a small town before calling it a night, as Dark went to bead Yugao and Hayate decided they needed to have a little stress release from all that walking. Entering a local bar the two sat down and was about to order when a commotion came from a booth a couple rows down as a man went flying through the swinging double doors.

Looking in the direction the two saw a dark haired girl in a normal looking komodo holding a…Pig? This was weird but that was before their eyes landed on the one that sent the perverted man out of the bar. With her fist still extended the blond haired blue eyed woman who was the one and only Tsunade of the legendary three, gave the pervert a death glare.

"Darn you Jiraiya, if you ever want to experience the joy of your work you would stop trying to pick up woman that would rather beat you rather than sleep with you" she yelled to the man that just now came back in from the super punch his old teammate gave him.

"Come on Tsunade, it's been what 12 years since their death and I know your still reeling from not only Kushina's death but Minato and Naruto's as well, so please no more punches."

Looking at the two and coming to the same conclusion the two former Leaf Shinobi decided that now was a good time to see if the two were telling the truth. Slowly they walked over to the two that were in another argument over another date when Yugao coughed to get their attention.

"Excuse me but are you Jiraiya and Tsunade of the legendary three?" Looking at the two before them they could tell they knew them from somewhere but from where? Nodding the two asked if they may join them and afterward the five people settled in they began to talk.

"So, what can we do for you Ms.…?" "Niwa, and the question I have for you pertains to a certain blond that you just mentioned by the name of Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki if I'm not mistaken is his name."

Growling, Tsunade narrowed her eyes at the two and said, "What do you mean 'is' don't you mean 'was' as he was killed the day that his father died." "From what Sensei said to me, his body couldn't handle the foxes chakra and it killed him almost instantly" said Jiraiya, sorrow in his voice.

Frowning the two looked at each other, then at the tree in front of them and replied one name that caused the two sannin to freeze, "Seito," Tsunade narrowed her eyes and said, "Where did you hear that name and who are you really because only one clan knows that name?"

Hayate sighed and continued, "Dark has been awakened from his slumber by the only male Uzumaki left in existence and now he is traveling the nations in order to find the objects from whirlpool that were never meant to be seen by mortal hands and have caused untold evil on the world."

Tsunade, who by now was on the verge of crying asked for Darks host name and prayed that it wasn't who she thought it was but that was a lost cause for they said the one name that sent both of them into a fit of rage for being lied to by their so called sensei. "Naruto Uzumaki Namikazi"

(A/N: Yo Im back and better from the flu that's going around and believe me between my brother and mother getting sick it's a real pain in the butt, but I digress here is the next chapter and for those who are trying to see who will be paired with Naruto the answer is simple…or not but do not lose faith for it will be a harem and my Dragons comeback is probably going to be on the back burner for a while because im in the middle of writing a Naruto/Ironman/Gundam crossover where Naruto finds the arc angel under the monument after being chased by a mob where he meets tearia arde (I think that's how it's spelled) and learns how to make the mobile suits more compact for personal use instead of the 4 story tall behemoth. Anyway please R&R, Im always looking to see how people like my work and for those who haven't heard or read, I don't mind if you take what I wrote and give it your own spin but please PM me first and thank you…Later Allagator)
