Your a What?
"Shizune! Get in here and report!" yelled Tsunade.
"Hai!" Shizune sped into the room and stood before Tsunade-sama.
Tsunade quickly sealed the room, made brief eye-contact with a hidden Nanami, then motioned for Shizune to proceed.
"Well as to Iruka fainting or collapsing previously, yes he does have a record somewhat. Its happened before, specifically a few months after the Kyuubi attack. And then now. I know its not much of a record, but there are a few similarities between then and now. One Iruka has not been seen in any social settings, two he is working the mission room and teaching class back to back, as well as picking up extra shifts for the mission room, three no one recalls seeing him eating or buying food of any kind at any time, four he never sleeps."Shizune paused shifting around and biting her lip looking nervous and unsure if she wanted to continue, " They say in the mission room, that he had it coming, always standing up to the jounins, speaking out against the copy-nin, Asuma and Kurenia for nominating their teams for the chuunin exams. For befriending Naruto, for being the Sandaime's pet. I even heard one say that he wishes Mizuki had aimed a little better with his windmill shiruken and paralyzed him for good, I noticed however that that particular comment was roundly ignored because Mizuki was a traitor, instead they said Iruka Umino just needs to learn his place. I noticed that only four people were not participating in the discussions. They were Raidou, Genma, Kotetsu, and Izumo. And that's all I got."
"Good work Shizune. I need you to go to the hospital and check up on Iruka and Hanataro. Plus have teams 8, 9, 10, and Sakura and Sai, gather together to clean up the Usagi clan holding. The traps surrounding the place and the traps inside the holding have been disabled. Here catch. The brass key is to Iruka's apartment. They are to move his stuff into the Usagi clan house. The copper key is to the Usagi clan holdings. Its a master key, tell them not to lose it. Oh here is a list of groceries and some money. They are to stock the fridge. And it all needs to be done before the end of today. If they start to complain, say that Iruka only trusts them with his stuff and his teammates stuff. Dismissed."
Shizune disappeared to do as bidden and Nanami came out of hiding looking grim. "I don't like the sound of that at all Hokage-sama."
"Neither do I. That reminds me however. You said you and Hanataro between the both of you have ¾ of Iruka's chakra? How is that possible?" Inquired Tsunade.
"Well when we were genin we made a blood pact with each other. We became siblings. After the Kyuubi attack Hanataro and I were given a 16 year long mission. In order for them to know if we didn't survive our mission, Iruka gave us each half of ¾ of his chakra. That way if we died he would know. Plus Sandaime did not know this. We didn't completely trust him. It was like he was trying to split us up, trying to kill off Hanataro and me. Leaving Iruka, who would be vulnerable to the Sandaime's wishes. Simply because Sandaime would remind Iruka that his parents would fallow his orders, they died to protect the village, so Iruka should give his all to the village to. He didn't think Hanataro and I heard him tell Iruka that. But we did. And we were afraid. Iruka is loyal to this village, Iruka would die for this village. He has no need to die for a silly old man's politics. I am sorry if what I say offends you. The Sandaime was a good Hokage once, and he died honorable I heard. But he was worried about Iruka, he could never be sure of his loyalty it seems. Iruka was born here, but his parents were from Mist."
"Wow. I never knew...Mist huh? But then how did they come to live here?"
"Simply the killings of the bloodlines. Umino's had a very powerful bloodline at one time. The Mist Kage feared that future Umino's may reawaken their bloodline. So they fled. Minato-sama let them settle here."
"Does Iruka have a bloodline?"
"I don't know. Never asked. Sides his pranks alone aught to be a bloodline in there own right. Jeez between the three of us, we could (and did) write a book of all the pranks we pulled."
"You wrote a book? Iruka sensei was a prankster? Can I read it?"
"Yes, yes, and yes. But not the book that tells how we did the pranks. Just the book that tells about the pranks, you know what they were and if we got caught. Now lets start talking about bets. I don't like how those jounin are putting Iruka down as inferior. So I have a proposal."
"I'm listening."
"Well what if when Iruka and Hanataro get better, we propose a challenge? A challenge to all the jounin and Anbu? The three of us hide for one month, or prehaps until the jounin exams. Mind that even if they do capture us, they have to keep us. We should be given at least 24hours after capture to get free, if we fail, we lose. And they only really have to catch one of us. Well what do you say?"
"I like it. We will do until the jounin exams, though. That way they will be even more intrigued by the game,"
"Sounds good. Well I need to go check and see what mail Hanataro and I might have gotten when we were gone. Bye Hokage-sama."
"Yes. Bye Nanami-san."
"Just Nanami please, san is for my sisters."and with that Nanami left and started across the rooftops towards the Usagi clan holdings. When she arrived she found thick smoke like substances coming out the windows. She sneezed...dust. Wow that's a ton of dust. Well that settles that. Iruka did not stay here, he probably hasn't since we left. Hmmm...what to do what to do. Oh there mail! Nanami dove towards the mail on the front porch just as a wild hair boy with a huge white dog stepped out onto the porch. Bam! Nanami collided with them and they rolled and crashed into the side of the house.
"Ow ow ow. What the hell? I was just getting the mail, and instead I get a kid and a dog." Nanami turned and looked at the boy only to find him and his dog knocked out. She sweat dropped, "Oops. My bad...well I think I'll just grab my mail now. Then maybe go see Ru-chan and Hana-chan. Er...damn. I can't just leave him...hee." Nanami smirked. A few minutes later she was done and skipping off happily to visit Ru-chan and Hana-chan, her mail clutched in her hands. A few more minutes later Asuma stepped out for a smoke, and found Kiba and his dog hanging trussed up like two pinatas, complete with colored shredded paper, and glitter. A sign was hanging from from Kiba's neck, it read: I failed to see another ninja, crashed, knocked myself out, this is the price I pay.
Asuma blinked read it again, scratched his head looked at his cigarette then called for the others to come see.
At the Hospital
"Iruka-chan! Hana-chan! You up yet? Nope okay. I'll just read my letters."
Dear Nanami,
Hi its your second eldest sister Kyoko. My have I a ton of news for you! I got married! His name is Katsuya Honda. And we just had a little girl named Tohru! Eeee! She is sssooo cute! Here I sent a picture!
On further news my adoptive family disowned me. No worries. I'm happy, I have Katsuya and Tohru, oh and Grandpa. Well he is really Katsuy's dad, but he said to call him Grandpa, that way its less confusing for Tohru-chan!
Love,
Kyoko Honda
Dear Nanami,
Katsuya passed away. He got sick on a business trip and died. The family blames me, I blame me. I should have begged him to stay home. He just wouldn't listen! I miss him so much. I moved out with Tohru and am working two jobs. They don't pay much, but I can send my little Tohru to school. Hee she is just like Katsuya. Forgetful, sweet, naive, and polite.
Don't worry little sister, we will be fine. You know you should right back. Then I can tell Tohru about you! If I tell her and you haven't written anything she'll think I made you up. Geez! What lazy siblings I have! Here its a picture of Tohru entering High School. Isn't she adorable? You know she is! Well bye for now Nanami!
With all my love,
Kyoko Honda
Dear Nanami Uzumaki,
We are sorry to inform you that Kyoko Honda was killed in a car crash.
Sincerely,
The Honda family
'No, not Kyoko! What about Tohru? Was she in the accident to? Oh god. I need to find her. Lets see the letter was dated three months ago...damn I'll need to see about getting someone to look after Hana and Ru. I should read Sayuri's letters as well though. Maybe she took Tohru in?'
Dear Nanami,
Hi is Sayuri, well actually I was adopted and now my name is Lily Evans. I have a sister to! Her name is Petunia. I think my new family has a thing for flowers. Heehee! Oh and more news! I'm a witch! You know the flying broomstick kind! Anyway I met this Boy named Severus Snape and we were both accepted into Hogworts! Wow what a name! I got into Gryffindor and Severus got into Slytherin. The two houses however are not friends. Oops I should explain at Hogwarts students are divided into four houses. There are these four boys in my house who seem to just go out of their way to make Severus miserable. Their names are Remus, he's kinda a shy quite type, Peter, reminds me of a rat!, Sirius, and James. I just can't stand them! Well anyway keep in touch!
Love,
Lily Sayuri Evans
Dear Nanami,
Its been a while since I last wrote you. There is a war going on over here. A really mean bastard called Voldemort, you-know-who is what everyone refers to him as. He is so evil they are afraid to say his actual name can you imagine?
I married James Potter, yes I know ironic isn't it? Severus and I had a falling out, because of him. He called me a Mudblood. He said sorry later, but I couldn't accept his apology, the others in the Slytherin house that were Death Eaters would have snitched on him, and he would have been tortured and killed. He is spying on the Dark Lord, and I worry about him. Oh Nanami I don't want him hurt.
James and I had to go into hiding. I got pregnant, and I had a baby boy, his name is Harry. Its just too dangerous for us. We are arranging for a secret keeper though. Its going to be Peter though we've told everyone including Remus that Sirius is going to be it. It makes me uneasy but James and Sirius think its a sure fire plan. After all who would believe that we didn't use our baby's godfather as a secret keeper? Here I included a picture of Harry and of James when he was in High School. Just imagine my eyes and that is Harry in the future. I don't know why, but I just wanted you to have the pictures.
Petunia married a Vernon Dursley, and they also just had a son named Dudley. Petunia doesn't want anything to do with me anymore, she calls us freaks. Urg. Its makes me so mad!
Well send me a letter already!
Love,
Lily Sayuri Potter
Dear Nanami Uzumaki,
This is Petunia Dursley and I am doing my family duty to inform you that my sister Lily and her Husband passed away. That is all. Please do not contact me.
Sincerely,
Petunia Dursley
'Shit. And what a cold hearted bitch. I suppose I am to be grateful she even told me. But what about Harry? Why did she not say anything about Harry? Did she not know? Is he dead to? Damn. Oh Ru's up.'
"Hey Ru-chan. Feeling better? Want to explain to Nanami-chan why you fainted? And why you are in such bad shape?"
"Er-no?"
Bang! "Ooowwww!" "Baka! You will tell me! Sides I have something important to you."
"Okay! Okay Okay! I may have spoke up at the chuunin exam nominations against a few jounins for nominating their teams. They had just graduated, you know! Well that and the fact that I yell a lot when they don't hand in their reports properly. Plus I was friends with Mizuki, before he tried the whole kill Naruto thing. Oh and the fact I regularly take Naruto out for ramen. So I've been getting jumped regularly. Plus Sandaime-sama after you two left put me in a teaching position and had me work in the mission room, plus whatever off time I get I get sent out on missions. I'm sorry I wasn't able to contact you about Naruto. I didn't even know he was alive until he was in my class! Sarutobi and those council members didn't let me have a down time one. I so need a vaction!"
"...That you do, but I need your help. And other people. But first we need to get to the Hokage."
With that Nanami grabbed Iruka and Hanataro (who just woke up) and transported right outside Tsunade's office. She knocked and walked in when Tsunade gave the go ahead. Shizune was kicked out and the room sealed.
"Okay first things first. I'm a clone. Nanami was captured last week, by Orochimaru's henchmen. She managed to make me and transfer the chakra that Iruka gave her into me, thus keeping me stable. I moment I give you back your chakra I will disperse. So now that that's out of the way any questions?"
"Your a clone?"
"...yes. And the real Nanami's been captured. By Orochimaru's minons. Meaning, we need to rescue her stat. Plus I'm an Aunt! Three times over! Bad news? My sisters are all dead, and my nephew's and niece scattered. So who is good at retrieving?"
"...Team 8 would be best. What can you tell us about where she is being held?"
"She is in a base a week away. The place where we have a base. Iruka, that madman has a base underground right smack dab against ours! Its base 12."
"Right Iruka, you are still in bad shape but if your two teammates were to give you back your chakra, you might be healed enough to guide team 8 there." Tsunade stated.
"Right!" All three nodded. And Hana and Nana began the seals to transfer Iruka's chakra back to him. And with a poof Nanami disappeared. The seals were broken on the room Shizune called for, told to bring team 8. Iruka was placed in charge and they headed out.
Tsunade POV
So team 13 has bases. I'll have to get them to explain in more detail later. I still can't believe that Nanami was a clone. I hope I did the right thing in letting Iruka go after her...it could be a trap...but it sure didn't feel that way. Hmm I really feel the need to gambol. Something tells me I can win a lot of money by betting on those three. Well I suppose I should get Hanataro here back to the Hospital. The Usagi compound isn't quite ready for them to move into. Oh what's this letters?...it won't matter if I take a quick peek...I'm the damn Hokage I can do what I want! …... Oh my more relatives? Oh how sad their dead. But this Tohru and Harry nothing is mention about them being dead. I hope they are alive. Naruto that brat would be so happy.
*Sayuri means Lily.
*Usagi means Rabbit.
*Nanami means Seven Seas.
*Quick note: Lily, Kyoko, and Kushina all had kids about the same time. Nanami was gone for 16 years, so they will all be 16.
