Chapter 2: One piece of paper

*Third Person*

The trip back from the rescue mission was a relatively uneventful one and, at the same time, mostly silent. The shock of Sasuke becoming a girl had been too much for Sakura to take all at once, and she had curled into the fetal position when she finally let go of him/ her. She remained that way for most of the return trip and had to be carried by Jiraiya.

Meanwhile, Sasuke had become rather attached to friend and rival Naruto and spend most of the return trip standing either right next to him or within arms length of him. While Naruto was still rather oblivious to the possible implications of the situation, Jiraiya and Kakashi were keeping a close eye on the Uchiha.

Arriving at the gates of the village, the group of five was met by a five man squad of Anbu to escort the group to the Hokage. Upon arrival they knocked and entered revealing a sleeping Tsunade at her desk.

Naruto walked to her side and took a breath. "Hey, Baa-chan! Wake up!" he yelled. Tsunade jolted awake and reflexively sent Naruto out of a nearby.

"Opps." She said. They waited a few minutes so that Naruto could return and be healed before continuing. After reitterating the mission for Tsunade, though stopping slightly before the part when Orochimaru and Kabuto fled, Tsunade stood up from her desk and spoke. "I see that the mission was a failure, then. Aside from this young lady, there are no other people with you so I must asume that you didn't find Sasuke." Tsunade said.

"Baa-chan, this is Sasuke. The Hebi-teme did something to him and now he's a girl." Said Naruto. "Damn, I guessed as much. This is not really so much a problem as it is an irratation. While Sasuke is now returned and I can probably clear up any problem he has caused so far as long as feels regret for his actions, there is the matter of the council. While the Ninja Clan Heads are loyal to me, the civilians and the advisors will probably use this chance to use a CRA on Sasuke." Said Tsunade, looking mildly irritated.

"What is a CRA, Baa-chan?" Naruto asked, slightly curious. "Usually, Naruto, the CRA is an act used to rebuild a dying clan, by giving a male of the clan multiple wives. However, if the only member in the clan is female, the council will set her up on dates with males from noble families to have her decide who she wants to marry. Originally, when Sasuke was the villages only loyal male Uchiha, the council was going to let him kill Itachi before initiating the CRA. Now that he/ she is considered unloyal and is now a woman, he/ she may not have that choice. The advisors and the civilians will want to keep him/ her in the vilolage at all cost. They probably think that their plan will ground him/ her and make him/ her more useful to them." Said Tsunade with a sigh.

"But Sasuke shouldn't be forced to do that, Baa-chan. Hebi-teme and Kabuto-teme did this to him." Said Naruto, fearing slightly for his friend. "I know that Naruto and that is why I'm going to do something Sarutobi-sensei should have done long ago. I know he made the best decision at the time, but he should have fixed this problem before he kicked the bucket. Shizune, get me that prewritten edict, number 43. Naruto, you may both like and not like what I'm about to do, but it will help keep your friend away from those jackels on the council." Said Tsunade. Shizune left the room and return a few minutes later with a scroll with four seals on it. Naruto and Sasuke were asked to step forward.

"This scroll was written by the Fourth Hokage, a week before his death while defeating the Nine Tailed Fox. It was an agreement that may have prevented the Uchiha massacre, had it been used at the time. The things I am about to tell the five of you are all S-ranked secrets. Tell them to anyone, even you Naruto for some of them, and I'll be forced to have you executed. First off, the Kyuubi. Despite the legends told about the Kyuubi's defeat at the hands of the Fourth Hokage, The Fourth was unable to kill the Kyuubi. He instead sealed away the Fox's power into a new born baby. That baby was Naruto." After a few moments of silence for the shocked Sasuke and Sakura, Tsunade continued.

"Next is Uchiha Massacre. While it is true that Itachi became a criminal for wiping out your clan and then defecting from the village, apart from the defection, the was a mission given to him by the advisors. The Uchiha, or at least a fair number of them, were planning a hostile takeover of the village, so the advisors had him wipeout the clan, thinking that they could then control him and have him rebuild the clan the way they wanted him to. Unfortunately, that plan failed for them. Itachi thought far enough ahead to realise what the advisors were planning, so he left Sasuke alive and angry, so that the advisors couldn't activate the CRA and had to wait until Sasuke killed Itachi to try and control him."

"The Third secret I am going to tell you all is about Naruto's heritage. Naruto, had two wonderful parents that would have loved to have raised you, but they both died the night of the Kyuubi's attack on the village. Your mother's name was Kushina Uzumaki. She was one the best ninjas in the village, but sadly she died when the hospital she was in collapsed. We never found her body. The only reason you were lucky enough to survive the collapse was that you were with your father at the time. His name was Minato Namikaze or, as he is better known, the Fourth Hokage. I'll answer questions about Minato and Kushina later, Naruto, but for now just realise that you are the son of two clans, both of which you are the only member of." Pausing again to take a breath, Tsunade continued.

"Finally, we come to the last secret and that is this scroll here. Sarutobi-sensei, Minato-san, Kushina-san, and an unknown elder from the Uchiha clan sealed this scroll shortly before the deaths of Minato and Kushina. Naruto, Sasuke, please place some blood on your clan seals, while I place some on the Hokage seal." The three ninja did so and the scroll unroll itself.

"This" Tsunade said "is a marriage/alliance contract between the Namikaze, the Uzumaki, and the Uchiha clans. It states that when the child of the Namikaze and the Uzumaki clans comes of age, he can marry a female member of the Uchiha clan. Should anything happen to Minato and Kushina, the Uchiha were to take in their child and raise him in the ways of all three clans. Sadly, because of Sarutobi-sensei's law about not talking about the Kyuubi to the younger generation, the people would have thrown a fit if the person they saw as a monster was given a title, so sensei put this contract aside for the time being, in the hopes of anouncing Naruto's heritage when he got older. Sadly, he died in the Chunin exams, and never got the chance to do so. Now, I will do it in his place. Tomorrow, I'll a council metting to annouce three things." Tsunade said this with a dark chuckle, and the ninja in front of her took a step or two back.

"What would those three things be, Baa-chan." Said a worried Naruto. "The first will be to announce Sasuke's return, as well as his new condition. That one everyone should be fine with. The second will the announcement of Naruto's heritage. It'll be a laugh to watch the looks on the civilians and the advisors faces. The last one is the one you're not going to like." Tsunade paused for dramatic effect, then turned to Naruto and said the words that would only change his life but the ninja world as they knew.

"Naruto, unless we find a way to change Sasuke back to normal in the next twelve hours, I am announcing your Betrothal to Sasuke Uchiha."
