The Kazekage and Hiashi appeared in the office in a swirl of sand.

"Take a seat." His hand indicated to a rather luxurious looking chair. Hiashi sat down waiting for the Kazekage to speak. "So, political difficulties brought you here, what type?" Hiashi mentally prepared his speech.

"The Kumo representative sent to confirm an alliance with the Leaf had ulterior motives. He broke in one night and tried to kidnap the heiress. My brother killed him. However, the ninja was one of the best in Kumo and even though he was trying to steal the Byakugan, Kumo will demand compensation. The payment would be a life of course, that of my brother. I refuse to let him die for protecting our bloodline. The Hokage did not act upon my suspicions that there was something amiss with the sudden Kumo alliance and the ninja it sent." The Kazekage listened to his story, nodding every now and again. "So I proposed to leave, to save my brothers life. And so we have arrived here." Hiashi boldly finished his speech with one question. "Would we be able to live here as a clan?"

The chibi Kazekage grinned like a madman. He jumped up and down with joy at the prospect of having such a powerful clan coming to live in Sand. But then the paperwork fell on him, crushing the poor little chibi. 'Ouch.' he thought.

"We would be honoured to have such a gifted clan to stay here but there will be a few conditions." Hiashi looked at the man before him hopefully. The Kazekage grabbed a piece of paper and quickly wrote down some words. Hiashi scanned the paper and slowly nodded his head. He picked up the pen and signed his name, agreeing to the arrangement. The Kazekage sat back and smiled.

"Well, now that it is settled, welcome to Sand. You will have the north east estate, it has been abandoned for over 16 years now and will need refurbishing but it will have to do. Jiro will escort you to where your clan is staying now." No sooner was his name spoken, the man called Jiro appeared in the office. He silently led Hiashi out of the office. Another ninja appeared in his office a short while later.

"Kazekage-sama, 'it' is causing trouble again." Takeo growled. 'I gave it chances but it has failed me one too many times. No matter, soon it will no longer be my problem.'

"Take it back to the rooms and keep it away from Temari and Kankuro." The nin nodded and swiftly left again.

Hiashi stepped into the residence where his clan had been placed. A silence swept over the room, slowly but surely as they saw their clan head.

"We have been accepted."


I'm sorry this chapter took so long to get up. It's not very exciting either honestly :/ oh well! Please leave a review and let me know how I did.
