The Yondaime Kazekage was in his office when a Chunnin entered and the Kazekage said "Yes, what is it."

The Chunnin said "Kazekage-sama, Jiraiya of the Sannins is here to see you. He claims that he has information for you of great importance."

The Kazekage frowned and said "Did he say what it was about."

A voice from the side of his room said "No I didn't Kazekage-sama." causing the Kazekage and the Chunnin to tense and look to thier right where Jiraiya stood.

The Kazekage narrowed his eyes and said "You do realise that this isn't Konoha and sneaking into my office could be considered an act of war. Right."

Jiraiya said "Even when the info I have is about the fact your children have been kidnapped by Orochimaru and that your youngest son Gaara is most likely dead now with his Bijuu having been extracted."

The Kazekage and Chunnins eyes both widen and the Kazekage said "Leave us and tell no one what you have heard."

The Chunnin quickly left and the Kazekage said "Proceed."

Jiraiya said "My spy network has learned that Orochimaru has a secret alliance with a group called Akatasuki. A group that is in the process of tracking down the Bijuu and thier Jinchuuriki in order to take the Bijuu and use them as thier own weapon. I along with a team of ANBU were on our way here to inform you when the Sandaime Hokage informed me that you were sending your own children to the exams this year. It is pretty common knowledge about Gaara holding the Ichibi. We came across some sound nins attacking a Suna Jounin by the name of Baki. Baki was severly wounded and would have died if it wasn't for our arrival. Baki informed me that the fake ANBU lead them to a clearing where Sound ninja had set up a sealing array that neutralized all of thier ability to mould chakra and then used sound based attacked to attack your children and Baki from long range. Baki fought as long as he could as did your children and they killed over a dozen sound nins including the fake ANBU but he said that several Snake summons took your childrens body while he was fighting. He is unsure if they are alive or not. My spy network has learned that Orochimaru is the leader of the hidden sound village."

The Kazekage frowned as he clenched his fist and said "Do you have any idea where..."

Before he could say anything the door to his office burst open and Temari, eldest child of the Yondaime Kazekage stood there in bloody looking cloths and looked exhausted and said "Father." in a tired exhausted and worried voice.

The Kazekage eyes widen and said "Temari, are you alright. Where are you brothers."

Temari said "Sound nins father...We were ambushed by Sound ninja who impersinated Konoha ANBU patrol...Gaara and Kankuro...were both captured. I was able to escape and Baki ordered me to return here to inform you about what has happened." as she gasped for breath.

The Kazekage turned to Jiraiya and said "How did you get here before my daughter."

Jiraiya said "I used several back to back long range shushins to get here as quickly as I could. No offense to your daughter but she's years away from matching someone of my speed or chakra level. I've already sent word back to Konoha to inform the Sandaime what has happened and your Jounin is on his way to Konoha for medical treatment. Konoha will do all in it's power to help you with trying to track down your son's."

The Kazekage said "Thank you. The loss of my son's as well as the loss of the Ichibi are both troubling matters. Do you have anything else to report."

Jiraiya bit his lip and said "Look...I shouldn't be saying this since it's a Konoha matter but...have you heard about the Black Flames."

The Kazekage looked confused and said "No."

Jiraiya said "Have you heard of Naruto Uzumaki."

The Kazekage eyes widen slightly and said "The boy who killed Kisame Hoshigaki and Uchiha Itachi."

Jiraiya nods and said "One in the same. Naruto Uzumaki is also the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. He's also the son of my late student Minato Namikaze. The Black Flames was originally created by him after his near capture by Itachi and Kisame who were both members of the Akatasuki. Naruto Uzumaki is also known as Doc Seven and was the student of Ibiki, Inoichi Yamanaka, and Anko, Orochimaru former apprentice. Nobody knew it at the time but when he killed Kisame and Itachi he was able to interrigate them first to find out about Akatasuki. He secretly arranged to be sent on a fake mission to the land of Waves where he assassinated Gato of Gato shipping because Gato was a business partner with Akatasuki."

The Kazekage and Temari eyes widen hearing this and Jiraiya sighed and said "It was because of this the Sandaime was forced to banish Naruto from Konoha because Naruto was to much of a risk by him basically going rogue in order to target the Akatasuki. His actions could have lead to Konoha being attacked by other villages because he didn't care whose toes he had to step on to target them. I don't know how he did it but Naruto was able to recruit Tsunade Senjui into the Black Flames as well as all the clan heirs he graduated with. They were able to use thier clan heir status to leave under the disguise of extending diplomatic relations...Since Naruto was Minato son, Hatake Kakashi, the only surviving student of Minato also defected in order to guard him in memory of his father. Naruto was able to get Anko to go with him also after he revealed that Orochimaru was one of his targets as he was a member of Akatasuki and is partnered with them. Naruto has also recruited Zabuza Momochi into the Black Knights."

The Kazekage said "Why are you telling me this."

Jiraiya said "My spy network has learned that the Black Knights have already become the 2nd largest underworld crime organization in the world and has been targetting Orochimaru's bases. If your son's are alive they might be able to find out where they are or save them...but I have no idea what they would ask for in return or if they would be willing to help at all. I don't even know where to find them. Despite the age of the leaders of the Black Knights, they are not a group to be taken lightly. Even my own summons have betrayed me. Gambunta has swore that if it came to it he would choose Naruto over me since he feels he owes Naruto out of respect for Minato's memory and he nor any other Toad will help me track them down."

The Kazekage said "I still do not see why you would be willing to tell me all this. Shouldn't you be hunting this group down and capturing them if what you said is true."

Jiraiya frowned and said "Have you ever had guilt over a choice you made and have regretted it ever since...Naruto is my godson but I've only met him twice his entire life. A few weeks after he was born when I was asked to check the seal to make sure it was holding Kyuubi and less then a year ago when I sat in on his court marshal...I feel if I had actually done my duty as a godfather all these years then Naruto wouldn't be in the situation he is in now...I'm loyal to Konoha but I feel guilty for abandoning my godson...I should go and kill him and the others who have betrayed Konoha...but how can I do that when the only thing he really is guilty of is he just decided to defend himself from an enemy that would kill him and his precious people."

The Kazekage lowered his head slightly and said "I see...well if that is all then please leave Jiraiya and contact your famous spy network and see if you can find anything on my son's."

Jiraiya nods and shushins away and thought "Sucker."

The Kazekage turned his eyes on Temari and said "You have disgraced yourself and me Temari. It was your responibility to protect your brothers and Shukaku and you failed. Pack your things. You are hereby banished from Suna. You may only return if you are able to find not only both your brothers but Shukaku as well and bring them with you. I will not have you disgrace our family name by returning alive like a coward and failure. If you had died then your death would have been valuable to Suna and we could have demanded retribution from Konoha but you didn't die and you didn't fight...Leave my sight...Go."

Temari who was shocked could only nod and leave the room with tears in her eyes.

2 weeks later, Temari was in a resturaunt in Wave country slowly pocking her food when a woman sat down in the booth across from her and said "You do know that the food isn't going to change no matter how much you poke it."

Temari looked up at the woman and said "I guess I don't have much of an appitite."

The woman said "Being banished does that I guess."

Temari's eyes widen and looked up at the woman who said "Your the eldest daugther of the Yondaime Kazekage, Temari right."

Temari narrowed her eyes and said "How do you know about me or that."

The woman said "My masters has been watching you for a while. He wanted me to tell you your brothers are both alive for now."

Temari started to open her mouth when the woman said "If you want to know about your brothers look under the center of the bridge on the support beam. You will find a seal near the top. Send chakra into the seal and follow the directions on the scroll that pops out. The scroll is a map to a town. Inside that town is a brothel. You will change your cloths and looks to make it look like you want to work there. You will ask the woman who runs the brothel for a job. Do whatever she requires you to do in order to get hired. Once you've been hired you will work there until you are contacted by a client who will go by your brothers name. He will offer you free lance work at his hotel room. Agree to it and when you get there to his room you will be ordered to strip and your body will be checked for tracking or trap seals or hidden weapons. If none or found you will be given a change of cloths that don't have any hidden suprises. You will be taken to my masters."

Temari said "How do I know this isn't a trap."

The woman said "You don't...but what other option do you have. Your fathers turned his back on you and your brothers are missing. Your all alone with no one and nothing to count on but yourself. You won't last long in this world like that. Your encounter with those sound ninja should tell you how out classed you are. This is the big leagues girl. It's fucked or be fucked. The question is are you the bitch or the one whose riding a bitch." as she disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Temari looked down at her food a moment before biting her lip and thought "What choice do I really have."
