Summary: Instead of giving birth to one child, Kushina Uzumaki gave birth to twin boys. During the sealing, Minato sealed both halves of the Kyuubi into his children, unknowingly casting them into damnation. Seeing this, the gods decide to intervene and give them their one wish…a loving, if not completely dysfunctional, family.
Sarutobi stared at the group. What they were suggesting was something out of the fairytale. He then cleared his mind and said, "Well that is…interesting. I've never met an actual vampire and/or werewolf. Now that you've introduced yourselves, I shall give the same courtesy. I am…" Selene cut him off, "…Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato. You're also one of the few people who truly care about these two boys. These boys, if I'm correct, house both halves of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, the very same demon that was sealed into them by their father, Minato Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage." Sarutobi gasped and said, "That is very delicate information. How exactly did you come to know this?" Michael chimed in, "It has to do with why we're here. We were chosen by your gods to protect and raise these boys to be strong. Before coming here, they gave us the knowledge of everyone and everything we needed to know."
Hiruzen nodded and said, "I promised the boys' parent's that I wouldn't tell their children the truth until they made chunnin status. However, I can't stand to lie to them anymore than I already have." He then walked over to the wall and moved Minato's picture. Hiding behind said picture was a vault. Opening the vault, he pulled out three scrolls and handed them to Markus. "These come from their parents. The first two are the final words that Minato and Kushina wrote to them. The third contains their birth certificates as well as DNA tests and Minato's and Kushina's marriage certificate. I'm going to call a council meeting on the double and set the record straight once and for all." William chuckled and said, "That's good to hear. We'll also be there to help you. In fact, I think Yami-sama's exact words were 'I want you to help the old man whip some sense into those uppity, power-hungry, self-centered rat bastards'."
Sarutobi summoned an Anbu to call the council. He then turned to the group and said, "We'd better get moving. I've got jaws to drop, asses to kick, balls to bust, egos to deflate, and asses to kick…and not all in that same order. William only laughed as he caught on to what the old man said. Sonja and Selene both had smirks on their faces. Putting a council in their place had always been at the top of both women's to-do list. They intended to savor every moment of what was to come.
Council chambers…
Hiashi sighed for the fourth time tonight. His reason being was that he was stuck in a room with the meddlesome trio and their horde of lackeys, aka the civilian council. He was about to slam his head on the table when the doors to the room were kicked off the hinges. Sarutobi looked at Selene and said, "Those doors weren't locked, Selene-san." Said woman smiled and said, "I know that, but I've always wanted to kick a door in." Meanwhile, Sarutobi was thinking, "Dear Kami-sama, do not let her meet Anko." One of the civvies, an annoying banshee with pink hair, quickly screeched, "Hokage-san, why did you summon us here at this hour and who are they?" Sarutobi ignored the woman (more like rabid howler monkey) as he took his seat on the dais. He then cleared his throat and said, "I have called you all here to discuss some very important matters. First, I am sad to inform you that the Uchiha clan has been slaughtered."
A fat council member stood up and said, "That's impossible. The Uchiha are the strongest in the village. There's no way that they were all killed." Sarutobi slammed his fist on the table and said, "The Uchihas are not the strongest in the village. I have it on record that all of them, save one Uchiha Sasuke, were killed by none other than Itachi." Sayuri Haruno shrieked and said, "How could he do something like that! I bet those demons tricked him into it." Before anyone could blink, Selene lifted the woman by her throat. She then hissed and said, "You will not speak ill of my children unless you wish to die." She then dropped Sayuri and said, "That goes for the rest of you. Should anyone attempt to harm these boys, your only future is a one way trip to an early and painful grave." Hiruzen nodded and said, "That is the other reason I have called you here. Naruto and Cairo Uzumaki are the children of the Yondaime and Kushina Uzumaki."
As if expected, the civilians were in an uproar. That one fat guy shouted, "Those little bastards are not the children of our beloved Yondaime. I say we kill them both now and finish what the Fourth started!" In less than a second, William changed into his lycan form and ripped the man to pieces. He then let out a menacing howl that shocked everyone except the Hokage, his group, and Tsume Inuzuka. The feral woman perked her head up and thought, "This man is an alpha among alphas. Plus he's not bad on the eyes, either. I want him. I want him. I want him." Hiashi watched the man change back to normal before asking, "Might I ask what that transformation was?" William cracked his neck and said, "You might say it's my kekkei genkai, the Lycan bloodline. I am the first of the lycans." Hiashi nodded and continued, "That is interesting. Do your friends have this bloodline as well?" Michael nodded and said, "The man Lucian is a lycan like me. The blond, Michael is a wolf dominant hybrid."
Shikaku, who was woken up by the howl, yawned and asked, "What do you mean by 'hybrid'?" "What he means is that I have both vampire and lycan blood in my veins. However, I am wolf-dominant due to have becoming a lycan first." said Michael. Selene grasped his hand and said, "I am a vampire hybrid. My vampiric blood now carries the legacy bloodline which allows me to walk in the daylight. Markus is a bat-dominant hybrid. I don't know if he can be out in the sun. Sonja, however, is a pure vampire. The sun will still affect her. Suddenly, a deep voice called out, "Actually, it won't." everyone gasped as the Shinigami appeared in a burst of smoke. The death god continued, "I took the liberty of infecting her with the legacy bloodline. She now has the same abilities as you do, Selene. I also took the liberty of curing you all of your inability to eat regular food. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a poker game to get back to."
As soon as Shini vanished, Sarutobi cleared his throat and said, "Now to get back on track. It has been decided that the boys will be adopted by Selene and Michael. Sonja and the others have agreed to become their extended family. They will raise and train the boys to become strong, and when the time comes, they will pass on their bloodline to Minato's children." Danzo finally decided to speak by saying, "These people sound like capable fighters. Would any of you be interested in joining the shinobi ranks? We could use skills such as yours." Markus snorted and said, "Of course we're joining. We're not the kind of people to be confined to a house all day. Plus, it'll give us a chance to explore a bit." Danzo nodded and said, "Hokage-sama, I hope this meeting is over. I could use some rest." Hiruzen grinned and said, "Agreed. This meeting is over. Go home, because I sure as hell am."
Sayuri stood up and said, "Just one moment. How could you think to let the demons have that much power? I think it should be given to Uchiha-sama." Sonja laughed and said, "I don't know or care who this Uchiha person you speak of is. The only way he'll get a taste of my power is if the boys approve of him. We came here for them, not some Uchiha. That's all we have to say on the matter." Lucian grabbed Sonja's hand and said, "I am so in love with you right now." Sarutobi walked over to Markus and handed him another scroll. "Here is the location of the Namikaze compound. You will need to use their blood to open the seals." Markus nodded and said, "You actually look a little younger than you did a few minutes ago. I think you're getting your mojo back, old man." Sarutobi turned back to the council and said, "You're all dismissed."
Namikaze compound…
As the group approached the gates, Selene could almost feel the barrier about to stop them. Quickly halting the group, she pricked Naruto and Cairo's fingers and let a little blood touch the gate. Seconds later, a large seal appeared before vanishing. She then led the group through the gates before closing them shut. Instantly, she could feel the wards rebuild themselves. As they walked up the pathway to the compound, William whistled and said, "This is one big place. I hope I don't get lost." Sonja nodded and said, "You're right. This place looks bigger than the castle." At that moment, Naruto started to stir in Lucian's arms. He looked around and said, "Where are we?" Michael walked over with Cairo and said, "This is your new home, and we're your new family." Naruto snuggled into Lucian's arms as he once more gave in to the call of slumber.
