Umiko awoke from her trance with a gasp. Her eyes scanned the water around her yet she couldn't help but feel like something was wrong. That's when she realized that she couldn't feel Siren presence anymore and she felt her panic rise inside her. Then she remembered the events she saw through the crystal she had given to Naruto and felt herself gasp again.

'I have to go help Naruto! I need to make sure that Siren doesn't hurt him.' Umiko thought to herself before pushing herself up and kicking out her powerful tail cutting through the water and back to the surface. She broke the surface and hissed when the sunlight hit her now sensitive eyes and quickly scanned her surroundings. When she saw no one around she swam to the shore and dragged herself back onto dry land. She was gasping for air when she reached it and looked down at her bright red tail and willed it away. She hissed in pain as her tail split apart and reformed into her legs and blinked her eyes trying to get used to the sudden change in her eye sight.

Umiko stood on wobbly legs heading over to the knothole where she had hidden her uniform. She pulled them out and frowned slightly by the smell. Three days out in the open hadn't left her clothes smelling like roses but she had no other choice. It was either this or running around naked and she didn't want to do that. So Umiko slipped on her clothes as fast as she could before turning east and running off. Umiko thanked whatever god out there that she was able to make it out of the forest as quickly as she did but frowned, her time underwater had made her body weak and if she tried to help Naruto now she would only get in the way. Umiko scanned the mountain top looking for the hidden lever she had set up there days ago and frowned when she found it. This had been originally a prank she had set up for the village when she found out why they had treated Naruto so badly but now it was going to get her straight to the Hokage. Umiko pulled the lever and smirked when she imagined everybody faces as the prank hit them.

Meanwhile in the village of Konoha everybody was freaking out. The reason why they were freaking out? Well it might be the flood of miniature Kyuubi's that were swarming into the village. Okay these Kyuubi were really just regular fox's with eight fake tails to them but to the panic minds of the villagers it seemed as if they were getting invaded by an army of demons. The ninja though were able to tell that the foxes were nothing but regular foxes and were doing their best to stop the villagers from harming or killing the foxes. Meanwhile a troop of anbu were tracking were the foxes were coming from and found a wide but low cage in the forest. By the looks of it, the foxes were kept there for days until they were released by a trigger somewhere else. They followed the rope that lead to the trigger back to the Hokage monument were they then found a tired Umiko and put her under arrest before taking her to see the Hokage.

Tsunade sighed. Her day had gone from great to bad in less than an hour and saying she was pissed was like saying she had a big chest. When the foxes had first showed up she had been surprised and a little shock but thought she had everything under control. That was until the civilians went crazy and started riots where she had to send her ninja to stop the violence before anybody could get hurt. Angry and annoyed Tsunade sent one of her anbu teams to find out who was behind this prank and now she waited patiently for her anbu to come back.

Tsunade heard a knock on her door and sent Shizune to open it. She was a little surprised when the anbu team she had sent out came in with Umiko trailing behind them. Tsunade almost sighed as she looked at Umiko. It only made sense that Naruto fiancée had to be a prankster as well.

"Well are you going to tell me why you sent hundreds of foxes dressed as Kyuubi into our village cause mass mayhem or am I just going to have to punish you?" Tsunade asked having a feeling that she already knew why Umiko had done it.

"Because they're jerks and they deserve it. But that not really why I did it." Umiko told her as she settled herself into the chair in front of Tsunade desk. Tsunade felt her eye brow rise in surprise before asking.

"Then why did you pull this prank?" Umiko looked straight at Tsunade her eyes completely serious before answering.

"Naruto and his team are in trouble and you need to go help them. You'll also need to get a hospital room ready since Naruto unconscious." Umiko told her and Tsunade felt her stomach drop.

"How do you know this?" Tsunade asked Umiko hoping that the girl would say it was a dream or something else that unreliable. Instead Umiko gave her a steady look before answering.

"I used the Uzumaki himitsu jutsu: Mizu Houseki." Tsunade felt her stomach drop and she frowned before looking at the anbu still standing in the room.

"You guys have a new mission. Team seven recently left on a mission to Suna and it appears that they have run into some trouble, I want you to head toward Suna and intercept team seven and help them with whatever trouble they run into." The anbu nodded before disappearing from sight. Tsunade looked at Umiko just about to ask her more question only to find Umiko sound asleep.

"Shizune go and put Umiko in the hospital and have a ninja posted at her door until she wakes up." Tsunade sighed as she watched Umiko get carried away by her student before turning around and looking over the village that was still in chaos.

'She has one hell of a way to catch my attention.' Tsunade thought to herself dryly as her ninja below her just got the villagers to calm down and then she frowned. 'Still, as accepting this village is for inner-family marriages I doubt that even the council will allow a brother and sister to get married. For both of their sakes I hope her mother was not Uzumaki Kushina.'

Kakashi knew that he was a generally laid back guy who found amusement in everything, but at the moment he was not amused. Kakashi didn't want to take this mission because of the circumstances around two of his students (Sasuke and Orochimaru, Naruto and the Akatsuki) but he knew that Naruto friendship with Gaara would only help with the negotiation between the two villages and had accepted it with dread. Despite how he had looked, Kakashi had been keeping constant watch over his small group since they had left the village and found himself growing more uneasy as the days passed. So when they were finally been confronted by a hostile ninja he had been somewhat glad that they were just rough ninja, even if he didn't know where they came from. Until he found out that they were after his blond student as well.

He had to admit that they were more skilled than he had thought them to be and his fight with Sestuna had been pretty enjoyable if it weren't for the fact that he was trying to steal his student. Kakashi had been using everything he had against the other ninja and could tell that Sestuna was doing the same against him. Still Kakashi had found the time to glance at his students and couldn't help the swell of pride as Naruto and Sasuke worked together in a well moved plan. Confident that his students would survive without him a little longer he had turned all of his focus back toward his own fight.

His only warning of something going wrong was Sakura cry of 'Naruto look out!' as he whipped his head around to stare at his students his face was met with a wall of water. Struggling to the surface Kakashi hadn't noticed that Sasuke and Sakura had been pulled under, but he did notice Naruto trapped in a ball of water and was trying desperately to get out of it. So he forced himself to swim through the water, his strong arms and hands cutting trough the water and pulling him closer to his student. He watched in alarm when Naruto suddenly cried out and fell to the floor of his prison before the orb released a large wave of water that pulled him under. Kakashi had looked around while under and saw both Sasuke and Sakura were drifting to the bottom and panic seized him. Swimming downwards, he grabbed both of his students before swimming back up using chakra to make his kicks more powerful. Kakashi had taken them both to shore and waited for the water to stop spreading, once it had stopped he had jumped right back in and found his missing student before returning to his other two. Kakashi wasn't entirely two sure were Sestuna and Akira had disappeared to but at that moment he didn't really care, it wasn't safe for them to stay there so Kakashi had taken a shoulder pill before grabbing all three of his students and start the long journey back home.

'So it's perfectly understandable as to why I consider now not to be amusing in any sort of way.' Kakashi thought to himself as he carried his three students' home. 'I'm soaking wet, nearly out of chakra, carrying all three of my students and my Icha Icha got wet.' Kakashi couldn't help but glance back at his blond student that he was carrying on his back. Kakashi felt himself frown as he stared at Naruto.

'Just what in the hell is going on with him?' He thought to himself as he tried to figure out where all that water came from, before laughing dryly to himself. 'Well we may not have been able to deliver the treaty to Suna but I think they will like their new lake even better then that scrap of paper.'

Kakashi felt himself stiffen when he felt three strong chakra signals approach him and mentally cursed for letting them get so close. When the figure stepped into view Kakashi hid his sigh of relief as he stared at the three Konoha anbu standing before him.

"Kakashi-san we were order by Hokage-sama to intercept your group and help you with ever you may need help with. Would you like for us to escort you home?" A female anbu wearing a hawk mask asked him. Kakashi nodded his head and raised an eyebrow at the news.

"Maa… How did Tsunade-sama know we needed help?" He asked while stretching his muscles after giving his students to the anbu. A male anbu wearing a tiger mask answered him.

"Uzumaki himitsu jutsu: Mizu Houseki." Kakashi felt himself stiffen in surprise before quickly relaxing his muscles; he gave the anbu a smile before speaking.

"Maa… I have one other thing to ask of you…"

"What is it Kakashi-san." Asked the hawk anbu and Kakashi looked at her.

"Well my chakra almost gone… and well… I was wondering if you could carry me back as well…" Kakashi asked already knowing the answer as he fell forward and the world darkened around him.

It had been four days since Umiko had revealed herself and two days since Naruto and his team had come back unconscious. Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura had all awoken the previous day and given their full report to Tsunade.

Tsunade sighed as she leaned back in her chair taking a small break from her daily round with her paperwork. She found her thoughts drifting back toward Naruto and Umiko who was revealed to be an Uzumaki. She felt a frown appear on her face as she thought about them; both of them hadn't woken up yet and as far as she could see there were no reason for them to still be sleeping. Umiko had regained all of her lost chakra and had no visible or invisible injuries; Naruto wasn't hurt at all in fact he in perfect shape.

'Just what in the hell is going on with those two?' She thought to herself before looking up when Shizune walked into the room.

"Tsunade-sama Umiko-san has woken up." Shizune told her and Tsunade nodded.

"Alright, shall we go see how our other Uzumaki is doing?" Tsunade asked as she stood up glad to get away from all her paper work. Shizune nodded and followed Tsunade as she walked to the hospital. When they got there, they found Umiko yelling at the chunin they had posted at her door to make sure she didn't escape.

"Damn it you ahou teme! I need to see Naruto now! Let me go!" Umiko snarled at the chunin who was holding her back. Tsunade cleared her throat and caught both of their attentions before speaking.

"It's good to see you're awake Umiko but I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you a few questions on that prank you pulled four days ago." Umiko stared at Tsunade before narrowing her eyes and nodding.

"Alright fine, I'll answer your questions but on the condition that you let me see Naruto when you're done." Tsunade thought about it for a brief moment before nodding her consent.

"Thank you for watching her Kyoushi, you may leave now." Tsunade told Kyoushi who smiled gratefully before running off. Tsunade stepped into Umiko hospital room and seated herself on the chair next to Umiko bed. Umiko sat back down on her bed and Shizune closed the door, performing a silencing jutsu as an extra pre-caution. Once Umiko settled down she turned to look at Tsunade and gave her a brief nod to let Tsunade know she was ready.

"Well then Umiko are you or are you not an Uzumaki?" Tsunade asked which made Umiko raise an eyebrow at Tsunade.

"I use one of the Uzumaki secret technique and you're still wondering if I am an Uzumaki?" Tsunade sighed and rubbed her temple before snapping at Umiko.

"Just answer the question." Umiko shrugged and answered anyway.

"Yes I am an Uzumaki."

"Was your mother Uzumaki Kushina?"

"No." Tsunade felt her eyebrow shoot up by this piece of news and felt secretly relieved by it.

"Then how are you related to the Uzumaki's if Kushina was the only known surviving Uzumaki?"

"You said it yourself; Kushina was the only known survivor. But what people didn't know was that were more Uzumaki who were living in hiding as well. My otou-san name is Uzumaki Naoto, Kushina otouto."

"Then that means you're Naruto cousin." Tsunade said out loud confirming the fact. Then something from Kakashi report appeared in her mind.

"Kakashi said that they people who attacked them were after Naruto specifically but not because of the Kyuubi but because he was an Uzumaki. Do you know why?" Tsunade asked already knowing that she knew something by the way Umiko looked away guiltily. They sat in silence for a few minutes and Tsunade was about to ask again when Umiko started to speak.

"The Uzumaki have a blood line known simply as the ningyo."

"The mermaid?" Tsunade asked surprised by the news and curious as to just what the bloodline did. Umiko nodded looking a little sad before continuing.

"Our blood line does exactly like the name suggest, it turns us into mermaids. Uzumaki who were chosen by Siren were able to transform themselves into half fish and were able to live underwater."

"Did your blood line allow you to do anything else beside live underwater?" Tsunade asked thinking back on the secret jutsu the Uzumaki were rumored to have. Umiko quickly shook her head before replying.

"No it didn't. All it really did was allowed an Uzumaki to live underwater and boost their chakra capabilities. All of the Uzumaki secret jutsu were based off of our blood line but could have been done by anyone who had enough chakra or a strong water elemental affinity." Tsunade frowned; something just didn't make sense here.

"They why were they after the Uzumaki? As far as blood lines go the ningyo doesn't sound all that strong when compared to the Sharingan and the Byakugan." Tsunade asked knowing that there must have been something more to this.

"Well you see, a long time ago Whirlpool was one of the most technology advanced city in the world. Legends say that Whirlpool was so far advance that they were even able to travel into space. But a long time ago a man created a weapon so destructive, so powerful, that it could have wiped out the entire world if it was used." Tsunade raised a skeptical eyebrow at this but mention Umiko to continue.

"So the leaders of the village at the time decided that it was too dangerous to keep and order it to be destroyed, but the only problem with that was that the device was built in such a way that if you tried to destroy it, it would self destruct. With no other option the leader decided to hide it in a place no one would be able to find it and sunk it to the bottom of the ocean. But the man who created the machine in the first place didn't like that, after all he had spent his entire life building that machine and he wasn't going to let it go that easily.

So on the day that the leader sunk his machine the man caused a rebellion claiming that Whirlpool was the best and that we had every right to wipe out any of the lesser villages because of their weakness. The war went on for years until the leader saw the damage done by the war. The once beautiful village of Whirlpool now laid in ruin and still the war was raging around them. The leader saw how diseased Whirlpool became and knew exactly what he had to do.

He approached my forefather Uzumaki Riyou and asked him if he was willing to lead the new village of Whirlpool and Riyou accepted but was confused as to why he was picked. The leader told him he picked him because he and his family would be the only ones to survive and he would have to rebuild the village by himself. Riyou asked the leader what he meant by this and the leader told him. He was planning on drowning the entire village by sinking it just like he had with the machine. He asked Riyou to gather all he believed to escape this fate and to leave the village as soon as he could. Riyou did as he was told while the leader told the rebels out for one final battle.

Once Riyou was out of the village the leader turned to face the man who caused all this destruction and told him that everything would end here and engaged him in combat. Nearly two hour later only the leader still remained standing and seeing this he activated the deceive that would sink Whirlpool. The rebels saw this and tried to escape but they were still tired from all the fighting and couldn't escape in time. Whirlpool sank and Riyou started rebuilding the new village on the cliff formed when the old Whirlpool sank as a warning to all future generations.

The lost city of Whirlpool was talked about and passed throughout history in many different ways. If I remember correctly, in the west the call Old Whirlpool the lost city of Atlantis." Tsunade listened to her story before frowning.

"Okay I'm not entirely sure what this story has to do with those men who attacked. What does this fable have to do with anything?" Umiko looked a little upset before replying.

"That wasn't a fable, it was true and those men know it's true as well. This is why they're after the Uzumaki because we are able to live underwater and that all Uzumaki who have the blood line knows exactly where the Old Whirlpool is."

"Who do you know where a supposedly lost city is?" Tsunade asked in disbelief.

"Because of Siren." Umiko replied without hesitation and Tsunade frowned.

"You mention Siren before, but you didn't say who it was."

"Siren not a person."

"Then what is Siren?" Umiko sighed before closing her eyes her face scrunched up in thought.

"That's kind of hard to explain. Siren is what I call it but that's not it real name. I guess you could call Siren the collective thought of all past Uzumaki with the ability to think for itself." Tsunade frowned in confusion.

"What does that mean?" Umiko growled in frustrations before trying to answer.

"Well I guess the best way to describe it would to think of it like the Kage Bunshin no jutsu. When an Uzumaki with an active ningyo dies, everything that they know and have learned will go to Siren and be stored within the vast amount of knowledge inside of Siren. But Siren doesn't have a physical form and can only exist within the mind of one with an active ningyo and one can only activate their ningyo only if Siren allows it. Since I have an active ningyo I'm able to talk to Siren and I'm able to look at all of the memories stored in Siren."

"Does Siren have a certain criteria that you have to meet before she lets you awaken you ningyo?" Tsunade asked curious to see if Naruto could awaken this blood line.

"No she doesn't, as far as I could tell Siren chooses her people at random which is why people with the ningyo are known as her 'chosen' ones." Umiko informed Tsunade with a sigh before lying down on the bed and staring at the ceiling.

"Those men are after any and all people with Uzumaki blood in them because of the chance that Siren will choose them and reveal to them the location of the Lost City. From what I understand they were going to try and infuse themselves with our blood and try to forcibly try to awaken the ningyo so that they could retrieve the weapons from the Lost City." Tsunade nodded in understanding.

"So it's not you specifically they're after but the technology of the Lost City." Umiko gave a dry chuckled before nodding.

"Yep, and me and Naruto happen to be the only ones possible to reach the Lost City since we are the last Uzumaki in existents. Now if you're done I think it's best that I go see Naruto before Siren puts him in a permanent coma." Tsunade thought about everything she just learned before what Umiko said got through her head.

"What!"
