Hokage's Office, Konoha,

Planet Rikuduo, Ibonis System

The Elderly Hokage was not happy. Why? Because of what Ryu just told him about the ROOT he captured and interrogated, and then Force Mind Delved to see what he knew, and found out and then having the ROOT operative given to Ibiki and Anko to have their fun. Needless to say the old man was pissed off beyond imagining.

"Ryu, will you be able to pull this mission off?" Sarutobi asked as the two looked out the window of the Hokage's Office over the village "And what do you think is the projected casualty rate?"

Ryu frowned as he looked over at the aged leader "I can pull the mission off, no doubt on that," He said with conviction "Although, I expect a probable of 35% casualties for our side."

Sarutobi nodded "I'm adding some more people to the mission," He said "The Clan Heads that were at the meeting expressed their wish to join in the raid, and I myself wish to join in the effort to eliminate Danzo once and for all."

Ryu nodded as he how personal this was for the old Kage.

"I understand Lord Hokage," the Jedi acknowledged. The Sandaime sighed, he decided that after the raid, he was going to tell the village everything about who Naru really is, and why it was kept a secret from them, but, he knew she wouldn't be safe. Then he remembered what he heard from Ryu, concerning another individual, he considered as family.

"Tell me, are you sure that she's down there? After all this time?" he asked the young Jedi, and Ryu nodded.

"The agent saw her from herself," He confirmed "And her Danzo refer to her by name so it is very certain that she is down there."

"And I understand it that Naru-chan has been asking about her parents lately?" Sarutobi asked looking over at Ryu with a sorrowful look.

"I'd recommend telling her Lord Hokage," Ryu advised "She's a smarted lass then she looks, she'll know to keep it a secret, that and she won't even be here."

"True," Sarutobi said. "And again, I thank you for doing something I never could do until now."

"You always could have, Ba'buir." Ryu said. "You just needed to reawaken that 'Will of Fire' of yours. Must say, me and most of the others actually have taken a liking to that little tradition of yours. Fit's a True Mandalorian's purpose perfectly." The Hokage chuckled a bit at that.

"Glad your taking a liking to it." he said before there was a knocking at the door. "But I think it's time you met the top Jonin who will be participating in the attack. Come in."

With that word, several induviduals then walked into the office. First, was a figure who reminded Ryu of the elderly Hokage, meaning they were probobly related somehow, and wore the standard Jonin attire and had short black hair and brown eyes, and held a Cigarette in his mouth.

The second was a female with long and black, shoulder-length untamed hair, and odd scarlet red eyes similar to Yorudans, only his was darker while her's had a second 'ring' in her eyes. Her outfit consists of a red mesh armour blouse with only the right sleeve visible. Over this is very broad material which resembles bandages with a pattern on it similar to those of rose thorns. Her hands and upper thighs are also wrapped in bandages and she wears the Konoha Haiate on her forehead, and regular shinobi sandals.

The third who entered caused Ryu to blink in disbelief. This third figure was a Tall induvidual, with thick eyebrows, Black bowl cut hair, a dark green jumpsuit, orange leg warmers and a Flack Jacket. His Hai-ate was on a red cloth around his waste like a belt. 'What in the name of the force is he wearing?' Ryu thought to himself.

"We arrived as requested, Hokage-sama." the woman of the group said, as she and the others bowed in respect. "But...Kakashi and Rin have yet to show up...again."

Sarutobi sighed in irritation "Neko, please go collect the two." He ordered "If they don't get here within the next ten minutes they'll be tasked with Academy Duty."

While no one could see her Ryu felt her leave the room immediately "Right, as we wait for him allow me to introduce Ryu Hisanaga," Sarutobi continued gesturing to the Jedi who gave a bow in greeting "It was thanks to his assistance that we managed to find several of Danzo's bases."

The Jonin looked at Ryu with new respect hearing that, as Ryu smirked "Nice to meet all of you." Ryu said politely "I'll be acting as the liaison between our two groups and the leader of the team responsible for killing Danzo."

The three Jonin nodded at that, but before they could continue, Yuugao returned, and then the two mentioned Jonin entering via shunshin. The male jonin, who Ryu could guess was Kakashi, was a tall man with gravity defying silver hair, wearing the standard Jonin Uniform with the green flak vest, and wearing a half mask which covered the lower portion of his face, and his Hitai-ate was tilted to one side covering his left eye, with the right eye visible.

The women who he could tell was Rin, was a young woman with shoulder length brown, brown eyes, and had two purple facial markings on her cheeks. She was also wearing a Jonin vest, but instead of the uniform, she was wearing a dark purple form fitting t-shirt, mid-thigh length biker skin-tight shorts, and what appears to be a tan-colored skirt that is split at the sides.

"Eehhh, sorry we're late. We got lost on the-," Began Kakashi, but Rin gave him an elbow to shut him up.

"We have no excuse Hokage-sama, except, there are just some things we can't get over," She said with a solemn look.

Sarutobi sighed but nodded to them "Right, this here is Ryu Hisanaga," He said to the two "Ryu, these Jonins are Kakashi Hatake, Rin Nishimura, Kurenai Yuuhi, Might Gai and Asuma Sarutobi, they will all be joining the attack squad, Kakashi and Asuma are both Ninjutsu experts while Gai is a Taijutsu Master, Kurinai is a Genjutsu specialist and Rin is a medical specialist."

Ryu nodded "Right, Fallern, Valane, Alita, Chim and Scout are the ones you will be working with from my team," He explained "They are varied with Fallern being the squad leader, I hope you can get along with them."

The Jonin all nodded with Asuma adding his own piece.

"Don't worry we will, as long as they get along with us," Asuma joked which earned him a smack to the head from Kurenai, and a reprimanding look from his father.

"Asuma," Hiruzen said in a warning tone, while Ryu just chuckled.

"I've a feeling we're gonna get along just fine," Ryu said as he continued the breifing,"We have managed to pinpoint the main base's location along with the location of several other minor bases that will be handled by the ANBU, the main base is located 19 kilometers outside of the village with the entrance being disguised as a tree stump, the base itself is a maze but I have managed to map out a good portion of the base which you will receive at the end of the briefing, each team will be accompanied by three ANBU squads, your team is charged with eliminating any ROOT that does not surrender, prepping the explosive charges and recovering any documents you come across, the more the better."

The Jonin nodded in understanding since Intel was very important, if you want to use it as evidence or defeat your enemies.

"Any questions?" Ryu asked the assembled group and Rin was the first as she raised her hand and Ryu nodded toward her giving her permission to speak.

"I just wanted to ask, what about the children, Naru and Yorudan?" She asked her concern evident on her face.

"They are under the care of my wife and a squad of ANBU," Ryu explained "She will have them in our ship the Tal Verda and away from Konoha searching for the ship that Yorudan's parents arrived in."

Rin let out a small sigh of relief and nodded in acceptance.

"If there is nothing else please report to area 113 and begin mission preparations." The Hokage ordered "If you have need for any supplies the ANBU will provide them."

The Jonin nodded and vanished in a swirl of leaves leaving Ryu, Yugao and the Hokage alone in the room "I best be off and get ready myself," Ryu said "My weapons need some fine tuning."

"Understood, Ryu," the Sarutobi said, and before Ryu left the office, he decided to ask him something.

"By the way. Any reason why those two are like this?" he asked the old Hokage who gave a solemn sigh.

"Their Sensei was Naru-chan's father, the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze" Hiruzen said and Ryu nodded gestured him to continue, "And also, during the last war, they were on a mission in Kusa, along with their teammate, Obito Uchiha, to destroy a bridge Iwa has been using to ferry supplies. Minato went to help our forces at the frontlines while Kakashi was in charge of destroying the bridge. The mission started off bad as Rin was captured by Iwa-nin so that they could find out what Konoha's mission was. Luckily Kakashi and Obito manage to rescue her, but then one of the Iwa-nin caused a cave-in," the old man didn't want to continue, but Ryu understood.

"Obito didn't make it, did he?" the Mand Jetii said and Hiruzen nodded his head in the affirmative, "I see, thank you for explaining that to me."

With that Ryu turned and left with a pensive look on his face.

Scout sighed as she looked over her weapons and the full set of Mandalorian Shock Trooper armor she was prepping, the armor was a deep indigo in color with dark green trimming while she war armed with a sniper rifle, two blaster pistol and several types of grenades and her lightsaber.

"All set Scout?" Ryu asked surprising the girl who didn't hear him approach, turning around she saw her teach clad in dark green, black trimmed armor, but unlike usual with his saber gauntlets he instead had regular ones on and a pair of lightsaber hilts on his waist and two more attached to his lower legs.

"Master?" She questioned "Your going in without your regular gauntlets?"

Ryu nodded "Yes, I'm taking this as if we were going after a Sith Lord," He explained "I will make sure Danzo pays for his crimes."

Scout nodded, and then realized somehting.

"Master, what about the Civilian Council, the Hokage's so-called Advisors, and that bastard Fugaku Uchiha? I mean, I met his wife once when I was exploring the village, she and the other female members of the clan are alright. But it's the male half that gets on my nerves with the exception of her Eldest son Itachi," Scout explained, and Ryu thought it over for a minute.

"My Guess is that things will get rather hectic when Danzo goes down." Ryu speculated. "Fugaku, the 'Advisors' and the civilian council seem to be in leauge with Danzo, so taking him down for good may change the ballance of power in the Village. The Civilan's and the Advisors may be lost without him for a while, but I gamble that Fugaku may try to take command of things. Personally, I wouldn't mind taking him down along with Danzo if we could, but he's almost untouchable with him being the Clan Leader, and he's done nothing Officially to get him Executed, or such. But we still should have the Hokage too keep an eye on that Teme."

"Teme?" Scout asked.

"It mean's Bastard in this Planet's Language." Ryu said, smiling sheepishly. "Me and Cast are actually getting into the swing of things with talking with these people. I bet in a few Month''s, It'll be like a second language to us...besides Mando'a of course."

Scout giggled at that, "With you Master, you always make the impossible, possible,"

Ryu laughed at that knowing it was true.

"So what are you going to tell the Council, not to mention the Senate, when we make our report?" Scout asked.

"We'll tell the council the entire truth," He answered "I know that they would back me with this, as for the Senate, we'll modify the report a bit telling them that we landed on a primitive planet and aided some locals in stabilizing their home in exchange for materials, the planet will be protected as they have yet to reach space exploration stage in technology, we'll also keep their other abilities quiet, to many power mongers to allow them to know about them."

Scout nodded in understanding "Right, do you think the council will allow you to train Naru and Yorudan?" She asked looking up at her teacher.

Ryu shrugged "No clue," He admitted "If the council won't allow me to train them at the Temple then I'll just train them at Concord Dawn or on Mandalore."

Scout accepted, but then thought about something.

"And what about the other habitual planet we saw?" she asked and Ryu looked at her with a curious look, "If you happed to remember Master, there's another habitual planet here in this system,"

"Hmm, yes, I forgot about it, did you scan it before we landed here?" he asked his Padawan and she nodded.

"Yes, there were no readings of cities or technology, but there were plenty of lifeform readings. I scanned it's ecosytem as well," she told her on what she saw of the other planet.

"And?" Ryu gestured for to continue.

"It's ecosystem matches that of Naboo, and Galidraan. Forests and snow-capped moutains in the Northern Hemisphere, while grassy plains and swamps are in the southern hemisphere with dozens of large lakes spread all around," Scout informed "So it is definitely habitable, what will we do about that planet."

"Hmm, not sure" Ryu admitted "We'll inform the council and ask for their opinion, although I will put forth the suggestion of setting up a Jedi ran observational post there, never hurts to be prepared."

"Prepared for what?" Scout asked in confusion "Master if you don't mind me saying but you sound like you are trying to create hiding places for the Jedi."

Ryu's face took a serious look which made Scout even more curious.

"I don't know why either Scout, but something tells me sooner or later, something bad is going to happen, and I want to make sure we're ready," he said and then began heading over to the rest of the group, before turning around.

"Also, you might wanna scan the rest of this system, their might be other planets that can prove beneficial, as long as greedy organizations like the Trade Federation are kept in the dark about it," he finished and then continued on.

Scout sighed as she turned back to her gear "My master," She muttered "The paranoid one."

"Is everything ready on your end?" Ryu asked the group of Jonin who were checking their equipment.

"Yeah, we're armed and ready," Kakashi confirmed with a nod "How about your end?"

"We're all ready to go," Ryu answered "Also I have a list of names of prisoners that Danzo has taken, Sarutobi said you guys would want to see it."

He handed them and the Shinobi read the names, but one name caught them the most, and it made two shinobi gasp in shock and turn to Ryu for confirmation and he nodded. Kakashi was seeing red as he gritted his teeth behind his mask.

"So...He was the one behind her disappearance," He growled out, with Rin beside him shaking in rage.

"He is," Ryu confirmed "But you need to calm down, if you allow your anger to control you you will end up causing more harm then good."

Kakashi took a slow, deep, breath and exhaled slowly calmly himself from his murderous rage "You're right," He agreed "I cannot allow sensei's wife to be harmed because I was angry."

Rin nodded in agreement resting a gentle hand on Kakashi's shoulder that he grabbed and squeezed "Do you know her condition?" Rin asked in concern.

"She is in a coma ," Ryu answered "Danzo has tried everything to get her to awaken, but nothing has worked, although my group prbabaly can get her awake, although she will need lengthy therapy sessions in a Bacta Tank to fully recover."

They nodded at and immediatley went to get into position.

Unkown to them, Yuugao, who was hidden in the trees, thanks to her training was livid that her sensei was being held by that warhawk , who is hoping to use her as a weapon. But like Ryu said to Kakashi, she calmed herself not wanting her anger to cloud her judgment.

'Just you wait sensei,' She thought with determination 'We'll get you out and back with Naru-chan.'

Looking down she saw that Ryu had yet to move from his spot and was muttering to himself about something "Is there something wrong Ryu?" Yugao asked landing beside him.

Ryu merely flicked his eyes towards her in response to her appearance "No, just making sure that everything is ready," He answered before sighing and palming his eyes "God sometimes I hate being a leader, especially when you know at least a third of your force will not be returning home."

"I know how you feel." Kakashi said grimy. "But...I suppose we just have to hope we take down more of them than they can i guess!" He said, while eye-smiling with his one visable eye.

'How the hell can the people here do that?' Ryu and Scout thought before shaking it off. "Alright then everyone." Ryu said as he drew his two lightsabers. "We begin the Operation in a few minutes. Good luck..." he then activated his lightsabers, his left a silver color, while his right was a pale green. "And may the Force be with you."

With Calista, Yorudan, and Naru

Onboard the Tal Verda

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Naru, Yorudan and Calista were all in the cockpit of the Tal Verda and they flew down low with Calista on the controls, Yorudan in the Co-Pilot seat, and Naru sitting near the sensors. They made a few quick modifications to the sensors, and they now were set to look for technology that 'Diddn't belong' as Calista put it, in search for Yorudan's Parents ship, as Calista confirmed was named: the Hettyc Naast (Burning Destroyer). As they searched, Calista helped Yorudan get a feel on Starships by pointing out certine features and systems, and even gave the controls to him for a few minutes of 'Free Flying' (of course she locked down the weapons, mutch to his dismay).

"So, what am I looking for on this thing?" Naru asked from her spot on the sensors. "Anything that looks out of the ordinary." Calista answered. "Something that sticks out from the enviroment. I rigged it so the sensors will show annomalies as red dots, so it shouldn't be that hard."

Naru nodded in understanding as she concentrated on the screen in front of her looking for the anomalies.

"Umm, Nee-chan?" Yorudan said hesitantly "What where they like? My parents?"

Calista looked over at the boy and smiled softly at him "They were some of the kindest people I have ever met," She answered "I had met them shortly after my family was killed by a group of Kyr'tsad, the Death Watch, a splinter faction of the Mandalorians that wish to go to war with the Republic again in an attempt to regain lost 'Glory'." Calista snorted in contempt "Glory my ass, anyways your parents showed me the ropes on how to be a true Mandalorian warrior. Your Mother taught me the most, she was often nick-named the Demoness of Concord Dawn, because of her and your Father's actions during the Mandalorian Civil War."

"Did my dad have a cool nick-name too Nee-chan?" Yorudan asked, and Calista smiled. "Yes, he went by as...the Devil of Galidraan." she said. "During the end of the Civil War when a force of Jedi led by Master Dooku who were falsly told that The Mandalorian's were murdering Political Activists when we were really trying to take out the Death Watch on the planet. We were outnumbered, and nearly outgunned by the Jedi and their allies, and it looked as if it were the end...until your Parents showed up. They single-handedly turned the tide of the battle, forcing the battle into a draw between the Mandalorians and Jedi, giving us a chance to explain to the Jedi what was really going on. They believed us, and with the Death Watch on the Planet now gone, there was no reason to stay and we left in peace." She then grinned a bit. "Your Parent's, may have single-handedly saved the Mandalorian People, Yorudan-Kun. Not to mention earlier in the war your parents saved our current Mandalore in the battle of Korda 6, Jaster Mereel."

"Wow," Yorudan whispered in awe "They were real heroes weren't they?"

"They were," Calista confirmed "Even in the Jedi Order they are highly respected," She smiled softly "Ryu would often teach what he learned from them in the classes he would occasionally teach."

Yorudan became more and more excited, but before he could ask more about his parents, Naru spoke up.

"Hey! Nee-chan! I got something!" Naru shouted in excitement "It's, umm, to our right."

Calista banked the ship in the said direction and saw a large mountain range in front of them "Just like them, the most difficult place to get to on foot," She muttered "How far Naru-chan?"

"Oh, umm, about ten miles!" Naru reported.

"Alright then, let's go get us a ship," Calista said and steered the ship toward the location of the Hettyc Naast.

Meanwhile, Near the Entrance to ROOT Hideout

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

A Root ANBU was standing guard in a tree as he kept an eye out for intruders. They have been on high alert for a couple of days now after receiving reports of movement from high profile shinobi gathering together somewhere and that made Danzo nervous.

Just as the Root leapt to another tree the suddenly collided with something and dangled in the air for a second choking before a muffled crack was heard signifying his neck snapped.

"Sentry three taken care of," Ryu whispered into his mike softly as he lead his team through the forest "Status update everyone."

This is Fallern, We've taken out our Sentry." Fallern's voice came through the Commlink. "Ready when you are."

"Garek here, same story. We're Ready to move in."

"Alright, time to commence Operation: Uproot." Ryu said. "You know your Targets, now let's do this thing."

Ryu leapt forward his team hot on his heels as he gathered the Force in between his hands and compressed it before releasing it towards the entryway blasting it to pieces in a massive explosion.

Teelay blurred in front of him her black lightsaber ignited as she cut down two of the shocked Root agents not killed in the initial blast while Silva launched a stream of lightning frying anyone unfortunate enough to get caught up in it and Sarutobi launched several balls of fire each hitting an enemy with sniper like accuracy.

"Alert Danzo-sama! We're under attack!-," Shouted a ROOT ANBU before he was decapitated by a glowing green blade.

"Time to show them who's the real boss here Ba'buir!," Ryu shouted to Sarutobi who had thwacked away three ROOT who got too close with his adamantine staff.

"Indeed," Sarutobi growled "DANZO! SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD!"

Ryu smirked as his twin blades flashed through the advance Ataru form sequences as he flipped over various ROOT ANBU cutting them to pieces "Danzo~~! Come out to play~~!" Ryu called out tauntingly "We're getting bored here with your fuck buddies!"

The quartet continued their rampage through the ROOT ranks making their way deeper into the complex as the more skilled opponents began appearing.

"Damn these guys aren't half bad actually!" Teelay shouted as she blocked a lightning charged blade with her lightsaber before pushing the ninja into the wall with the Force hard enough for blood to splatter.

"No kidding!" Silva replied as she stabbed one ROOT through the stomach, and then, using her Force Lightning, electrocuted him to death, "They're like the insects on this planet! What do they call'em? Cockroaches?"

"No time for that, let's just find Danzo!" Ryu ordered as he twirled his lightsabers in his hands taking off limbs and heads of any ROOT that attacked him.

Sarutobi remained silent as he twirled his staff hitting points on the ANBU causing them to collapse dead.

They entered a massive room with only a single occupant "So I guess we finally found you, Danzo." Ryu stated his sabers held loosely at his side.

Said warhawk only narrowed his only visible eye at the Jedi.

"You fool! You think that by defeating a few of my tools you think you can deafeat me?" the Elder shouted in arrogance.

"Enough Danzo! It's time you face the consequences of the crimes you committed!" Sarutobi yelled at his former friend and rival from when they were Genin.

"Tft! You have gotten soft Hiruzen! You and that fool Minato have talked of making peace with the other nations, when we should've annihilated and made Konoha stronger!" Danzo shouted back as Sarutobi growled back.

"Strength does not come from destruction you old fossil," Teelay sneered "It comes from balancing strength and forgiveness."

"Naive girl," Danzo snarled "I'll enjoy breaking you and your friends into ROOT AN-"

Danzo was curt off as he was Force Pushed by Ryu "Not going to happen," He growled "You have destroyed to much to allow to live Danzo Shimura, your judgment day is NOW!"

"You FOOL!" Danzo hissed at Ryu, "You are already becoming a thorn in my side! Just like that foolish Yodaime who thwarted every attempt I had to aquire the Kyuubi Jinchuriki before he again sealed it into his little hellspawn!"

Ryu narrowed his eyes at the ROOT Commander as Teelay and Silva shot a slightly worried look to Ryu who was eerily calm "Wrong choice of words bastard," Ryu growled as his spare sabers suddenly started floating around him activated, they were both gold in color as they spun gently around him "Because now you die."

Ryu surged forward at Danzo the four lightsabers blurring as he attack the one eyed man furiously forcing him back until Danzo formed a set of seals exhaling a gust of wind blowing Ryu back.

"And want t know something else?" Danzo said as a sadistic creeped on his, "When the little brat's mother was giving birh, I was the one who told the one who caused the release of the Kyuubi in the first place!"

Hiruzen's eyes shot open in shock, as his fists tightened in rage,"I-It was YOU!" He shouted enraged "Danzo I knew you were up to shady things, but I truly believed you had Konoha's interests at heart, now all I see is a man taken by insanity."

Ryu growled as his eyes turned gold and white lightning sparked around him "I am hating you more every time you open your mouth bastard." He growled as Teelay and Silva stepped up next to him their weapons at the ready "Now be ready to witness your death."

Danzo just smirked, "It appears I can't hold back on you," Danzo drawled as he began to remove the bandages covering his right eye, "I have to thank Fugaku and his clan for giving me this 'gift',"

Sarutobi's eyes widened as he saw the Sharingan that was implanted into Danzo's right eye socket "No way," He breathed before his eyes narrowed "That won't change anything Danzo, you will not leave this place alive."

Danzo laughed mockingly "You will never be able to stop me!" He shouted with insanity gleaming in his eyes "And once you're dead I can take control over Konoha and unite the world under Konoha's banner, my banner!"

Ryu had enough, he was going to take this bastard out, once and for all.

Ryu leapt forward the four lightsabers blazing as he began to channel the white lightning through the two in his hands attacking the war mongrel with a fury rarely seen by the Jedi Knight while Sarutobi began launching ninjutsu after ninjutsu showing just how he earned the title of God of Shinobi. Teelay and Silva were busy delving deep into the Force launching attack after attack supporting Ryu as he focused solely on the offensive trying to decapitate the rouge shinobi.

"Ain't gonna happen today or any other day, you power hungry son of a bitch!" the Jedi Knight shouted, "Cause today, you DIE!"

Then, Ryu began collecting a massive swarm of force energy, the winds swirled around him as his arms sparked with electrisity. as the winds picked up speed, and the lighting on his arms increased, Ryu slowly closed his eyes, but when they snapped back open his eyes were now pure gold in color.

'Is this the power of the Force?' Sarutobi thought in awe as Ryu's now golden eyes glared at Danzo, who was looking a bit...unconfident at the moment.

"Die." Ryu said as he rose his arms at Danzo, and then unleashed a Storm of force lightning at Danzo.

Before Danzo could even think of using his Izanagi Jutsu, the lightning began to course through his body and destroying the other Sharingan eyes he hid in the bandages of his right arm, destoying them.

After a couple of minutes Ryu stopped the flow of Force Lightning, and Danzo fell to the floor in a smoking heap, partly charred but still alive as blood leaked from his right eye socket, where the Sharingan used to be, and his right arm, which Sarutobi noticed.

'So he had more than one,' Sarutobi thought as he approached the man he once respected in his youth. Danzo meanwhile was filled with anger and confusion as he couldn't understand how he was defeated by a simple foreign brat, that got in his way.

"Hey, old man!" Ryu shouted, and the elderly Hokage turned around just in time to see Ryu tossed one of his lightsabers at him, witch he caught. Sarutobi looked at the silver handel in his hand, and looked back up at Ryu who nodded, and he nodded back as he moved towards Danzo's side.

"Danzo Shimura..." Sarutobi said. "You have defied my Orders as Hokage, attempted to cause another Shinobi World War in addition to a Civil War within your own Village, attempted Murder of the children of some of our Village's greatest heros, Abduction of countless childred from Konoha and the surounding countries. I hearby sentence you...to death." Sarutobi then activated the Lightsaber's silver blade, and rose it over his head. "Any last words?"

Danzo lifted his head as he glared at Hiruzen, the reason for his madness coming back to him.

"Sh-She should've been mine," Danzo gasped out and Hiruzen quirked an eyebrow in confusion at this, as Danzo continued, "Biwako-chan... should've mine to love," his glare intensified as Hiruzen now understood, "But...She loved only you. And because of you and Minato Namikaze she's lost to me forvever,"

Hiruzen gave a sad sigh, now knowing why his fomer friend turned out like this, "Yes, she loved me," he agreed with him as, "But you want to know something Danzo?" He said nothing, but continued to glare at him. "She loved you too, my friend." he said. "Now...may you rest in peace." And in one swift swipe, Danzo Shimura was no more.

Even though he knew Shinobi shouldn't shed tears, Hiruzen did exactly that as he de-activated the lightsaber. Feeling a hand on his shoulder he turned and saw Ryu with a sympathetic look on his face.

"It had to be done Hiruzen," The Jedi tld the old Kage who just sighed.

"That creature was not Danzo, the real Danzo died a long time ago," he told the young man as Ryu nodded and Hiruzen took out a storage scroll, and sealed the body and head of his longtime friend and rival into it.

"Now, let us regroup with the others and get the prisoners out of here," Sarutobi ordered, and Ryu, Teelay, and Silva all nodded in agreement.

"Agreed," Ryu said and the four left the room.

An Hour later

With the Tal Verda

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

The Tal Verda flew over the Mountain Terrain where Naru picked up the Annomaly, passing by the mountains just below the clouds. Both Naru and Yorudan looked at the mountains in awe, seeing them in a way no one before them have ever seen before.

Calista giggled at their expressions. "If you like this, Your jaw's will drop off when we head into space." she commented.

The two children's eyes, if it was possible, widened even more at that, now looking forward to actually see their world from space.

They continued to search the mountains looking for anything that may seem out of the ordinary. It was Yorudan that spotted something in the side of a cliff.

"Hey Nee-chan! Over there!" Yorudan said, pointing out of the Window. Naru and Calista looked to see a ledge of the side of a mountain that looked big enough to safely land two YG-4210's side-by-side. But what caught their attention was the large cave on the ledge, large enough for the Tal Verda to probably fly through without too much difficulty.

"Looks big enough for their ship to land..." Calista muttered. "Let's give it a shot!" she then put the Tal Verda into a slow decent into the Cave. She activated their ship's lights so they could see in the pitch dark cave.

"Spookey..." Yorudan muttered as he looked at what seemed like infinite darkness to him.

Calista smiled softly at him as she manuevered the ship through the cavern.

"Yeah, most caves tend to be spooky, but if you think that's spooky, try to handle being inside a giant Space Slug," she said causing the boy to look at her with a slight fearful look.

"G-Giant Space Slugs?" He asked, making sure he heard her correctly.

"Yup." she said, grinning. "Their massive creatures that live inside hollowed-out asteroids. One time Me and Ryu had to hide in an asteroid to avoid detection from a patrol of Trade Federation Droid Fighters...but then we found out we accidentally flew into the mouth of a Giant Space Slug."

"You were eaten alive?" Naru and Yorudan shouted in shock and disbelief. "Ya, but we got out of there before it was too late." Calista said.

"I'm starting to get second thoughts about coming in here..." Naru said, a little scared after thinking about being eaten by a giant slug of all things.

"Oh, their couldn't possibly be one in here, Naru-Chan." Calista reassured. "Those things live in space, and space alone. And their very rare, so the odds of even running into one are one-in-a million."

Naru wasn't too sure, but before she could comment, she suddenly saw light at the tunnel.

"Nee-chan! Yorudan-kun! Up ahead! Do you see it?" She said excitedly as the rest saw the light up ahead.

"I see it Naru-chan," Calista said, as she started to smile, and risked putting a bit more speed into the Tal Verda.

Shortly after, the three of them found themselves at the mouth of another section of the Cave, however what was inside shocked them all, as they gasped in awe.

Inside, was a massive cavern, from the Sensors of the Tal Verda, could confirm that it was at least 3,100 Meters long and wide in diameter, with a ceiling at 1,500 Meters high. But what caught their attention was what was in the Cavern. Before them was a rather large structure, looking to be about as large as the Hokage tower was, with a similar design. Only there were several lights built on the structure, giving light to it witch showed off its Red, White, and blue color scheme. But what caught their eye was the symbole imprinted right on the front of the building, it was the symbol of the True Mandalorians, however is also sponcered a pair of horns on the top giving it a demonic look, and was Black and Red, with a pair of Yellow eyes.

"This has to be it..." Calista muttered, in awe. "That right there is the Takeo Clan Crest...Aren would always use it."

Yorudan's eyes were wide in awe as he looked up at the structure "My clan's crest," He whispered in awe as his eyes stared transfixed on the symbol "Amazing."

"What is this place?" Naru asked "Do you know Nee-chan?"

"I'm not certain," Calista admitted as she carefully moved forward "Be careful you guys, I wouldn't be surprised if there were booby traps here as well."

The two children gulped as Calista manuevered the Tal Verda to a small clearing in the cave.

Meanwhile back at the ROOT HQ

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Another ROOT ninja screamed in pain as a purple bladed lightsaber went through his gut and out his back.

Carradine drug the blade to the side effectively eviscerating the ROOT ninja as she snapped off a couple of shots with her blaster pistol hitting another ROOT ninja "All clear here!" She shouted remaining on alert.

"Same here," Aalina responded as she walked into the room "I thinks that's all of them here."

"I found someone here!" Garek shouted from the next room "I think we have their prisoner hospital here! I found our priority target!"

"Be right there!" Carradine shouted as she, Krista, Valken, and Aalina ran into the room where Garek was. It was an average medical room with the usual medical equipment, but it was admitably...darker than other rooms. In short, none of them would have wanted to wake up in a room like this.

There was a single occupant within the room lying down on the bed. It was a Female who looked to be in her 20's or so, and she had long Crimson Red hair, and she oddly reminded them of Calista. She was strapped into the bed by a series of leather restraints.

"Damn...she looked like Cast...probobly could even pass as her sister or something." Aalina commented just before she and the others undid her restraints. Garek then activated his Commlink. "Kakashi, Rin, you read me?" he asked.

There was a five second pause. "Kakashi Here, what is it?" he asked.

"We found our Primary Target." Garek said. "Kushina Uzumaki has been located, and secured."

There was an audible pause for a minute before Kakashi finally responded "Understood, please keep her safe, we're almost finished on our end." He reported.

"Roger," Garek confirmed "C'mon, let's get these people out of here."

Carradine bent over and lifted Kushina onto one of her shoulders as everyone picked up another prisoner and began making their way back to the surface when their commlinks went off "This is Hisanaga, Danzo has been eliminated, I repeat Danzo has been eliminated," Ryu reported "Give me a status update."

"Aalina here," Aalina answered "We have extracted several prisoners including Kushina Uzumaki from the prison Hospital and are bringing them to the surface."

"This is Neko," Yugao reported "We have eliminated most of the serious resistance and are now setting up the explosive, recovering documents and aiding the extraction of the prisoners."

"Understood, were on our way to help," Ryu said "Good job everyone."

*-One Hour later-*

It took almost an hour for the combined ANBU and Ryu's Mandalorian group to finally deal with the last of Danzo's ROOT ANBU, which put up a heck of a fight, but in the end it was a success, with 15 Regular ANBU killed and 30 Wounded, of the whole ROOT Force over two thirds out of almost an entire batallion were wiped out, including Danzo, with the rest captured. All the prisoners that were rescued were recieving medical care, and Kushina was taken to Teelay's ship the Ne'tra Orar to be placed in a Bacta Tank to heal.

Ryu was sitting on a log drinking deeply from a water bottle before splashing the remaining amount over his head allowing the water to drip down his face "To receive only 15 deaths out of a total of 60 ANBU units is an amazing thing," Sarutobi commented coming up to Ryu and sitting down beside him "We owe you thanks for you assistance Ryu."

Ryu shook his head with a chuckle "Ah, just don't be too surprised if we show up a couple of weeks later looking for a place to stay and we'll be even," He said jokingly "Ah, the council ain't going to like how I handled this, that's for sure."

"Why is that?" Sarutobi asked "From my standpoint you did an amazing job, not only did you have a mostly positive first contact with a new civilization but you also helped take the first major step in stabilizing their power balance."

Ryu only sighed heavily "Ah if only the council had someone like you on it Ba'buir," Ryu said wistfully "Master Yoda would probably agree with you, maybe even Masters Gallia and Windu too, but many have been accusing me of being too Dark in my actions and that I'm one step away from falling to the Dark Side."

Hiruzen looked at him in shock, and he that the way the Jedi Knight said that Ryu's life was almost similar of that of Naru's. He sighed as it brought up memories of how the civilian council tried to do anything they can to advance their own interests, and agendas.

"I hope the rest of your Council doesn't turn up like our Civilian Council: Pig-headed, arrogant, and corrupt," The Sandime said to him, while Ryu just laughed.

"I would'nt worry about that," Ryu reassured, but before he could ask what he meant by that...

BOOOOM!

"Heh, looks like that's the end of ROOT," Ryu commented as he stood up looking over the smoking crater that was the main ROOT base "If you'll excuse me, I'm going to check in on Calista and the kids, see how their doing."

Hidden Complex

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Calista lead Youdan and Naru through the massive complex. After they landed, their first actual challenge was figuring out the password for the front door. After several attempts, Yorudan, oddly, came up with the right passcode, being his Birth Date. Calista face-palmed herself for not thinking of that earlier, seeing how that would be exactly what Aren and Sutura would have done.

Calista also took note of the several security camera's that were situated in the hallways, and they were slowly keeping an eye on them. Calista just assumed that they were old security measures the two had set up just in case.

After an hour of searching, they got a good bearing on most of the Complex. They ran into several induvidual bedrooms that didn't look like anyone had been in for quite some time, if not at all, and they also came across what they guessed was a kitchen. But no sign of a Hanger or anything yet.

However, now the trio stood just in front of another door, this one with a Terminal requiring another Passcode. "You think it'll work again?" Yorudan asked as he stood in front of the Terminal.

"Only one way to find out, Yoru-Kun." Calista said, as she nodded and Yorudan typed his birthdate in. The Red lights on the door then switched to green, and they slid open easily. The trio then stepped through into what seemed like pitch blackness...

Until however lights upon the ceiling snapped on in sets of two, revealing slowly how large the room was, witch was probobly 100 Meters wide, and maybe 500 in length if not longer. As the lights lit up, they slowly revealed the contents of the massive room, a few deactivated droids of different shapes and sizes, several weapons racks, there were even to the side several suits of Mandalorian armor, about ten in total.

But what really grabbed their attention, was what was at the end of the Room. Next to a set of doors almost as big as the room, was a single Black/Red Trimmed vessel, witch nose was painted with Shark Teeth, a pair of golden eyes, and the Takeo Clan Family Crest painted on the side for all to see.

"There she is..." Calista whispered in a bit of awe. "The Hettyc Naast..."

Yorudan was the first to slowly walk towards the ship. Right before him, was the last thing he probobly had of his parents besides everything else in the complex.

However, he, along with Naru jumped in suprise when a voice suddenly said...

"Threatening Statement: Freeze, Meatbags!"

Yorudan whirled around, looking for the source of the voice, but saw nothing. But it sounded so close...

It was then, he...or rather it appeared out of a shimmer before them. The...thing stood easily around Six feet, or more. It looked oddly like a Skeleton to Yorudan and Naru, however its body was Crimsion Red with Black trimming, and a pair of glowing 'eyes' on its head. Holstered on its Thighs were a pair of Heavy Blaster Pistols, while on his back was a single Vibrosword, and a Trade Federation Droid Sniper Rifle position in an X formation.

"Shit!" Calista shouted dragging the two kids behind her before grabbing her Vibroblade "Should've known they would have a watchdog."

"Demanding Request: Identify yourselves Meatbags or be vaporized." The droid ordered as it pointed a blaster rifle at them "Personal Request: Please don't, I haven't had the pleasure of killing anyone in quite a while."

"Calista Hisanaga with Naru Uzumaki and Yorudan Takeo." Calista answered cautiously holding her sword defensively.

Scanning:...Searching for Profile matches on Hisanaga Calista, Uzumaki Naru, and Yorudan Takeo..." the droid said, still pointing the rifle towards them.

'This isn't good...' Calista muttered. 'We may have to make a break for it-'

"Scan Concluded: Matches Found on Takeo Yorudan, and Uzumaki Naru. Redirected files found on Hisanaga, Ryu, and Shae, Calista." The droid said as it lowered its rifle.

'It has profiles on us?' Calista thought in shock, though was relieved at the same time as she decided to ask some questions "Who, or what are you? And who gave you information on me, my husband, and these two?" She questioned the droid as she gestured to Naru and Yorudan as they hid behind her.

"Answering Request:I'm a Hunter Killer Droid, model 47X, and I've been ordered by the Mandalorians Aren and Sutura Takeo to guard this facility until they returned, along with you and Miss Uzumaki as well. However, seeing how they have not returned in over 8 Years, I assumed they had perished. How Unfortunate...I honestly will miss them, and I will forever hold their memory in my memory banks." The droid said as it looked at Yorudan who was staring wide eyed the droid, realization coming on that this droid knew his parents. But then he remembered something he said.

"Wait, you said Miss Uzumaki?" Yorudan asked, glancing at Naru. "But...Naru was born on the day of the Kyuubi attack, where my Parents died...how could you know her?"

"Answer: I did not mean Naru Uzumaki, my new Master." HK-47X Said. "I was reffering to Miss Uzumaki Kushina, who, if I recall, was to be giving birth to a fleshy meat bag offspring around that timeframe, and they did mention they were going to name her Naru, so I must suspect she is the said Offspring."

Now, it was Naru's turn for her eyes to go wide. "Y-You knew...my Mother?" She asked, her voice filled with hope.

"Answer: Of course! Though, I only met her on the day of this 'Kyuubi Attack' along with your Father, I must say she seemed like a fine Warrior, and I would have been honored to fight along side her in the future and kill fleshy meat-bags on missions."

"You knew my Father too!" Naru asked, her voice slowly rising. "But...wouldn't that mean they knew about Yorudan-Kun's Parents not...being from around here?"

"Suggestion: Perhaps it would be best if you spoke to your Father, as well as your Parents, Yorudan, about this in person?" He said, getting supprised looks from all three of them.

"B-But Mom and dad are...dead." Yorudan said, saddly. "And we don't even know who Naru's Parents are..."

"Interjection: That doesn't mean you cannot speak to them!" The droid said, once again confusing them. "Explenation: Perhaps it is best if I show you what I mean. Please, follow me." and with that the Droid turned around, and began walking towards the Ship.

"I wonder what he means by that?" Naru said as she and Yorudan, with Calista following just behind them, followed the HK-unit up the ramp of the ship.

Calista then activated the comm. on her vambrace as she contacted Ryu.

"Ryu, can you hear me?" she said as she waited a moemtn for him to respond.

"I read you, are you alright? Where are you?" the Mando Jetii asked in concern.

"We're okay, both me and the kids. We found a complex in a cavern in the mountains 20 miles northwest of the village. It's definitely theirs, and we found the ship as well, they even have a Droid called HK-47X here guarding it. It reminds me of that droid you found, after the Raid on Darth Revan's Tomb," she informed him and it was silent for a few minutes.

"How similar?" Ryu asked, curious.

"Well, he looks almost identical, with the exception of it being Aren's favorite Black/Red Color scheme." Calista said. "But it also seems to be able to use Melee weapons if the Vibrosword it's got is any indication, and it also has a built-in Stealth Field Generator, and I think it might have a wrist-mounted grenade launcher. and maybe even a Flamethrower or something on its other wrist."

She could hear a whistle on the other side of the com-link.

"Wow, that's not something to laugh at," Ryu said as Calista, even though he couldn't see her.

"So do you think you can track us here?" She asked her husband.

"Yeah, hold on," Ryu said as HK-47X led them to a room on the shipthe main hold to be precise. And sitting on the central Console were three Triangular Pyramid-shaped blue objects.

"Those are Holocrons!" Calista said in surprise. "Those are very rare to come across..."

"Statement: Yes, they are." The droid said. "One moment please." HK-47X then stepped up towards the keypad, and typed in a series of buttons. Then, the three blue Holocron's began to glow, brighter and brighter until Calista and the others actually needed to shield their eyes from the light.

Calista then heard a groaning noise, followed by a yawn. "Damn...Morning already?" an eerily familiar voice to Calista said. "Damnit, my back feels as stiff as a board." Calista's eyes widen. 'No...it couldn't be...' she thought.

She then heard a sigh. "You're not the only one." A female's voice said. "I would have thought there would have been a bit more room in those things."

"Those things are about as large as soccer balls!" A third, unfamiliar voice said. "Of course there wouldn't be much room if any at all!"

Calista removed her hands from her eyes, and saw to her shock two people she recognized. The first male had short black combed back hair, red eyes, standing a height of 6' 3" while the female had long crimson hair, emerald eyes, and stood at a height of 5' 11". They were wearing Mandalorian shock trooper armor colored black with red trim (Male), and black with gold trim (female), respectively. The third person she saw, was a man dressed in the Konoha Jonin Uniform, he had blonde spiky hair, blue eyes, and standing at 6' 2", his Leaf Hai-ate tied around his forehead keeping his bangs out of his eyes. She also noticed the white trench coat, he wore over his Jonin outfit that had red flames licking the bottom.

She could only say two names in shock at the two people she saw.

"Aren...? Sutura...?,"

The two said Parents of Yorudan Takeo blinked as they turned around to face Calista, who had just removed her helmet thinking it was on the fritz. "Calista?" Sutura Takeo said in suprise. "Calista Shae, is that really you? My god, you sure have grown up into a fine woman, haven't you?" Calista blushed a bit at that comment. "Thanks, Sutura." she said. "But...how are you here? The Hokage said you two died in that Kyuubi attack! And who's that guy?" She asked, pointing at the Blonde man.

"So, you met Oji-San?" The blonde man said before chuckling. "Good to see the old fossile's still around. Well, anyways I'm Minato Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage. As for your other question, its best to ask those two." he said, pointing at Aren and Sutura.

"Right, well, long story short Cast." Aren said. "When the Kyuubi was on the approach to Konoha, we knew we probobly would get killed, so using those Holocron's there, we used an old force technique witch placed our memories into them along with our personality and such. So in a way we 'Copied' ourselves, along with Minato, so that even if we got killed Kushina-Chan would take teh kids here where..." Aren stopped talking, as his eyes went wide. "Wait...THE KIDS!"

"It's okay Aren, Yorudan and Naru are fine, in fact they're right here next to me," Calista said as she gestured to the two children next who were wide-eyed at the site. Sutura, if she could, almost broke down in tears of joy as she saw her eight year old son, while Aren had a look of pride. Minato, on the other hand, also saw Naru, and to say he was afraid was an understatement. He wondered if she knew about the Kyuubi sealed in her, and hated him for it.

(117Jorn: I sudjest playing Kerry Muzzey's 'Last Moments before dying' right here if Ya'll can find it. Name may not fit the scene but the music itself sure as heck does.)

Yourdan's eyes were fixed on his parents before him. "T-Tou-san...K-Ka-san?" He asked, not believing his eyes at the moment.

Sutura smiled, her eyes filled with Holographic tears with Aren in a similar state. "Yes...its us, Sochi." She said.

Before he even knew it, Yorudan, in almost light speed, ran up towards his Parents. Calista was about to warn him that they were just Holograms, but she was caught by supprise when Yorudan's form crashed into his Mother's legs, and began hugging them with tears of joy and happiness streaming down his face. For a split second this action suprised Sutura, but that was washed away as she then knelt down and embraced her son for the first time in eight years. Aren wasn't too far behind as he knelt down and placed a hand on Yorudan's back.

Calista couldn't help but smile at the scene, she raised her comm-linkto her mouth and spoke into it.

"Ryu, better get over here and bring the old man with you," she said as she still kept the smile

"Right, I got your position and we're on our way," Ryu said as he cut the link.

She then looked at where Minato was and couldn't help but blink at the expression the Yondaime was giving her.

"What?"

"You...look a lot like my Wife. " Minato said. "Do you know a woman named Kushina by any chance?" Calista chuckled a bit at that. "Ya, Sarutobi mentioned me looking like her when I met Naru-Chan and Yoru-Kun here a few days ago in...well, unfriendly cercumstances." When she said that, Sutura and Aren's heads jerked up from their reunion with Yorudan.

"Caslista, what do you mean?" Sutura asked. Calista sighed as sat down in a nearby chair. "Well, it all started when Mine and Ryu's Ship the Tal Verda had a Overload in the Hyperdrive..."

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

One hour later

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

When Calista finished her story, the reactions of the Holocron projected individuals was obvious.

Aren was seeing red as his right eye twitched violently and barred his teeth in anger, while oddly his eyes were flashing between their normal Red color to an eiry yellowish color. Aren was continuously muttering 'There is emotion, Yet peace' over and over again to try to get himself calmed down before he decided to level Konoha to the ground.

Sutura was shocked and she held both Naru and Yorudan closer and tighter. She expected something like this would happen, but not in this Magnitude.

Minato was in a similar state that Aren was in, as he was silently growling. "I should have know..." He muttered. "Kushina told me they wouldn't understand, but I thought they would have understood..."

Naru looked at the Yondaime Hokage, curious to what he meant by that.

"What do you mean Yondaime-sama?" she asked, and looked in shock at his daughter, then to Calista.

"Sh-She doesn't know who I really am?" Minato asked in a voice that sounded broken. Calista regretably shook her head 'no'.

"I'm afraid not, from I know she wasn't told who her parents were, and that she was told by the matrons of the village that her parents left her because they hated her," she said which caused Minato to tighten his fist, "And to make matters worse, they called her a whore and a demon,"

5...4...3...2...1...

"THEY SAID WHAT!" Minato roared out causing both Naru and Yorudan to jump. "THOSE IDIOT SCUMBAGS CALLED MY DAUGHTER A WHORE AND A DEMON? I'M GONNA KILL THOSE KUSO BAKA'S IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!"

Naru, was shocked that her Idol would say that, but what really shocked her, was when he said: "My Daughter".

"W-what did you call me?" Naru said in barely above a whisper. Minato looked at his daughter when she said that, his heart clenching when he heard those words.

'She doesn't know...She doesn't even know,' thought Minato, it was at this point that Ryu appeared along with Hiruzen, and the other Mandalorians, along with Yugao and the Jonin.

Ryu's eyes went wide, as did all of the other's. "A-Aren?" He asked, not believing his eyes. "Sutura?"

"S-s-s-sensei?" Kakashi and Rin both stuttered not believing their eyes as well.

"Minato-Kun?" Sarutobi said, on the verge of a heart-attack

"Yondaime-Sama..." muttered all of the Jonin and Yugao, who's jaws were on the floor.

"Alor?" Said all of the Mandalorian's who removed their helmets to see if their eyes were playing tricks on them.

Aren and Sutura looked toward and they both recognized the members of the group.

"Krista? Alita? Is that you?" Sutura asked in shock, as she looked at all of the Mandalorian's before them. "My god, I can't believe how long it's been...you all grown up now!" Both Female Mandalorian's flushed a bit at the comment.

"Not to mention you too, Fallern, Valane, and Ryu!" Aren said with a light chuckle at their expression. "You guys look like you've seen some Ghosts!"

"We thought you were dead Alor!" Valane said as Aren shrugged.

"Technically yes," he said, "But more on that later,"

It was then when Minato looked and saw Hiruzen and the old man knew by the look on the younger man's face, he knew he had explaining to do. He wasn't disappointed when he immediatley bombarded him with questions.

"Sarutobi! Where's Kushina? And what is this about the orphanage matrons calling MY daughter a whore and a demon? After I sealed Akane into Naru, I gave you instructions to make the people see she was a hero to the village! But from what I heard...," Minato said as he looked at Naru who had just fainted from the overload of information, into the arms of Yorudan, who blushed a bit which was not missed by his parents who grinned a bit.

"I understand you're disappointed and angry Minato-kun. Believe me, I was too by the reaction of the villagers, when I told her of being the Kyuubi's container," the old Kage tried to placate but it just made Minato angrier and heart-broken, that his own village betrayed him, and spat on his sacrifice by blaming his daughter for the tragedy.

"She wasn't supposed to be the next Jinchuriki for the Fox in the first place, Sarutobi!" the man yelled in anger and frustration, ""A pair of hooded men found out where we were, killed Biwako-sama, the ANBU guarding us, held my girl hostage, and then one of them kidnapped my wife and nearly killed her when he extracted the Kyuubi from her!" This bit of info caught the Jedi and Mandalorian's attention.

"Hooded Men?" Ryu asked. "What did they look like?"

Minato thought about it for a moment. "I couldn't see the face of the first one, he was wearing an orange swirl mask. and he wore a Black Cloak with Red clouds on it." he said. "But that other one...I don't know what he was. He wore Completly Black Robes, and hid his face under a hood. But I managed to catch a gimpse of his face...his Skin was Blood Red, kinda like that woman over there." he pointed at Carradine. "But he had a pair of...weird tooth-looking things on his face as well, just below his eyes...and his eyes were both a weird Yellow color. But his poweres were also weird."

"What powers?" Aren asked, getting an odd sence of familiarity from the discription.

"He could shoot off this...lightning jutsu I guess without any hand-seals, and fired purple lightning from his finger tips." Minato said. "And he...did something to Biwako that...it was with some blast of Orange light as she just...died. But the weirdest thing was that he had a pair of weapons that were like the Raijin no Ken, but their blades were both Crimson Red instead of Yellow."

That confirmed the suspicions of the Force Sensitive Mandalorians.

"A Sith Lord," Ryu growled out and Minato, and the other Shinobi looked at him confused.

"A what?" Kakashi questioned.

"A Sith Lord." Silva said, barley holding back her rage. "They are users of the Dark Side of the Force. While Jedi are the Protectors of Peace, Justice, and use the light side of the force...The Sith have a one-track mind on complete control of the Galaxy, have short-tempers, and use nothing but the Dark Side of the force to inflict pain and suffering."

"Minato's discription of the Sith matches that of the Redskin race (1) from Korriban, the Sith Homeworld." Aren said with a light growl.

"Wait, but the True Sith Species has been extinct ever since the end of the Great Galactic War nearly 3,500 years ago!" Teelay said.

"Well, obviously, there are still some running around and causing trouble in the Galaxy." Ryu said with a Sigh. "This situation just got a lot more complicated."

"Wait, what do these... Sith Lords have to do with the Kyuubi Attack?" Kurenai questioned.

"Apparently they want the Kyuubi as a weapon for something they're planning, and used your village as a Testing Ground. But for what, we don't know," Ryu answered truthfully.

"Getting off track here. What about my wife?" Minato said urgently, and Ryu could tell if he didn't tell him soon, he'll be mad with worry. Sarutobi though beat him to it.

"She's alright Minato-kun," Hiruzen soothed the Yondaime Hokage's worries, "She's in a coma, but still alive,"

Minato's face turned to shock when he heard that.

"What? What happened?" Minato said, as Hiruzen gave him the details of Danzo's kidnapping of Kushina and his betrayal of where they were hiding.

Minato nearly ripped out his own hair in anger as he growled. "Damnit, why did eveything go so wrong!" he shouted. "I trusted that bastard! Then he just had to ruin Mine, Kushi-Chan, Aren, and Sutura's Plan for the kids, didn't he!"

"Plan? What Plan?" Rin asked her old Sensei, who sighed.

"After the Kyuubi was released, and I got Naru and Kushi-Chan back to Konoha, I met up with Aren and Sutura on what to do." Minato explained. "Matters got worse when we heard the Kyuubi was on her way to Konoha-"

"Wait, stop right there." Yugao said. "Her? The Kyuubi's a Girl?" Minato blinked. "Yes...Kyuubi's a girl." he said. "Kushina said her name was Akane."

Yugao and Rin blinked, before grinning like mad. "HA! TAKE THAT SEXIST PIGS!" The both shouted, pumping their fists in the air. "THE STRONGEST BIJUU IS A SHE!" Most of the other occupants either Sweat-Dropped, Sighed, or in the other female's case, grinned in triumph.

"Anyway..." Minato said. "I new the only way to stop the Kyuubi was to seal it into a newborn, but Naru was the only newborn...and I could never ask anyone else to seal her into one of their children if I was unable to seal one into my own...Kushina fought about it, saying that the Village would treat her like Garbage, but I thought they would at least respect my last wishes that she be treated as a Hero..." he then glanced at Naru who was still out cold. "Look where that got her..."

"However, then me and Sutura came with an idea." Aren said. "First off, we revealed to them who we really were, and where we came from. They thought we were Crazy at first but after a...demonstration-"

"Tricking that ANBU into hopping on its arms, and singing the Caramelldancen with your mind-trick thing seemed a bit overkill though..." Minato commented.

"Eh, whatever." Aren said. "Anyways, after proving it too them, we came up with an idea: If the villagers really did come to hate Naru, we would take her away from Konoha, and train her here at the Enclave, the base." he said, clarifying where they were. "Away from the Village, with no one but those we trust the most like Minato and Kushina's students, and other trust-worth people. And we would say the Kyuubi was killed, but really sealed in Naru. Then, in 13 years, we would return to Konoha where hopefully people would have forgotten about the Kyuubi, and under the impression she was 'dead'."

"Ok, I guess I could see that being a good idea." Yugao said. "But...how are you all..."

"Here before you?" Sutura asked, and all of the others nodded. "Well, me and Aren used an old force Technique we both knew, where we placed our DNA into Holocrons, and then added our Personality, our memories, and everything else into them, and we did the same for Minato too. So when Minato sealed the Kyuubi, he could still be around to help train Naru, and we did the same incase we died in the attack." She hugged Yorudan a bit. "Nothing short of Kami herself could stop me from being with my little boy." she said, causing said boy to blush a bit in embarassment. "So anyways, if things hit the fan and if Naru were hated, Kushina would use a Hirashin seal we hid for her in her house to use witch would instantly telleport her and Naru to the Enclave. She'd also take Yorudan too if we did die."

"But...if your just Holograms...how are you in color when most Holograms are complete blue?" Ryu asked the question that was bugging all of them. "Not to mention you can actually touch people and things now."

Sutura and Aren smiled. "You can thank Minato-Kun for that." She said. "Simply put, we fused Holocrons with the basic concept of the Kage Bushin Jutsu. But it's very different. For one, they last A LOT longer than regular Kage Bushin's would, aka we can stay like this for a LOOOOONG time before needing more Chakra, but if the Bushin were dispelled, we would just return too the Holocron until we could gather enough Chakra for another Bushin, witch takes about...two or so hours. Until that, our 'bodies' are just like our normal ones, allowing us to eat, fight, and everything. Of course, some draw-backs are that these 'bodies' don't age, and they dispell if we get hit by a bad enough hit...like if we got shot by a blaster bolt, powerful-enough Jutsu, or if we loose a limb."

"But we can still fight, eat, train, use the force, and all that good stuff." Aren said. "Though, I'd still like to have a real body...but beggar's can't be choosers!"

Minato sighed, then moved to the unconcius Naru and picked her up in his arms and proceeded to the door.

"Sensei? Where are you going?" Rin curiously asked, as Minato turned to face them.

"I need to talk to Naru when she wakes up, I'm going to one of the rooms that's unoccupied," he said somberly as he gazed at his who then unconciusly snuggled into him.

"Mind if I go with you Yondaime-sama?" Yuugao asked as Minato looked at her, "Naru is like a little sister to me, and, it will best if a person she's familiar with is with her," The Yellow Flash smiled, and nodded. "It's fine." he said, and the two left into one of the unocupied rooms to wait for Naru to awaken.

"Well, while he's Gone," Aren said as he looked at his Son. "Hows about I show you a few thing's me and your Mother collected in our travels across the Galaxy Yorudan?"

Yorudan's eyes beamed in excitement at those, as he nodded vigurously causing the two parents and the others to laugh to chuckle at his antics. And with that they all headed out of the ship and began a tour of the base.

Meanwhile, in the Ne'tra Orar

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

A 2-1B Medical droid was currently attending it's current patient who was dressed in a white female patients gown and floating in a tank of bacta.

The 2-1B glanced at the monitors, and took note that they were showing signs of its patient awakening. He then messaged the nearest droid to come to their ship for assistance.

Inside the tank, Kushina Uzumaki's eyes twitched. 'Uhh...wha...what happened?' She thought as she slowly opened her eyes, but she closed them seeing she was submurged in some form of water...witch oddly felt...good on her skin. 'Where am I?' she thought.

It was then she recalled what happened, after she gave birth to her daughter Naru, two men wearind hoods suddenly appeared and then...Her eyes widened in horror.

'NARU-CHAN! I have to find my baby!' she thought frantically as she tried to find a way out of the bacta tank.

The 2-1B Droid became concerned, when the patient began moving around in a panic, even though it didn't have emotions, he began to worry his pateint will hurt herself if she continued it was then a Trade Federation OOM-series battle droid colored green with tan trim came on the scene.

"Unit 667 here, sir!" the droid chirped as he gave off a salute.

"Unit 667, please head off the ship and report to Miss Teelay that the Patient Uzumaki Kushina has awaken." The medical droid said.

"Yes sir! Roger, roger!" The droid said as it ran off to complete its task.

Then the 2-1B droid turned back to it's patient, who was starting to bang against the glass of the tank. "Miss Uzumaki, please remain calm." The droud said using the built-in Communications unit in the tank, suprising Kushina for a moment.

"W-Where am I?" Kushina asked, using the Com-unit built into the mask she wore to breath in the tank.

"You are onboard the Ne'Tra Orar." The droid replied. "The Bacta you are in is healing your wounds. Please, Remain calm."

"Where's Naru-Chan?" Kushina demanded. "Where's my baby?"

"She is fine, and with my master, and her friends." the droid confirmed.

While Kushina was relieved her daughter was alive, she needed to know how long she was out.

"How long was I out?" she asked the droid.

"You have been in a coma for 8 standard years, Miss Uzumaki," the droid informed her.

Kushina's eyes widden the moment the droid said that. "W-What?" she stuttered. "Did you say Eight Years?"

"Affirmative." the Droid said. "Now please, stay still as the tank is emptied." As the Bacta was sucked out of the tank, Kushina was still in a state of shock. 'Eight years...' she thought. 'I missed the first eight years of my daughter's life...'

Meanwhile, with U-667

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

U-667, or more known commonly by Teelay and her group as Roger, due to him saying 'Roger, roger' after being giving a task to do, but, that's another story, was moving around the complex looking for his mistress. After 6 minutes of searching he heard voices and moved to that general area.

"Aaaaannndd BOOM! Headshot!" Aren shouted as he, Sutura, Yorudan, the Mandalorian's, Jonin, and the Hokage watched several assignments and battles Aren and Sutura had been through in their time as Mercenaries, Bounty Hunters, and Warriors of Mandalore through the use of Holo-Tapes that were recorded using their Helmet-mounted Camera's. "And hence, that was the end of the Bastard himself, Tor Vizsla."

"I can watch this All day long." Fallern commented with a grin.

"And after I took his armor and his weapons. Except his helmet, I hate the design of that thing, plus it had a hole in it, so I blew it up," Aren said with a grin.

"I gotta admit, you guys surely don't mess around," Asuma said with a grin which then turned into a frown, "Our more recent younger Jonin and Chuunin are so arrogant and stupid they fall like flies when they go out on their first A-Rank mission,"

"Have you ever tried putting them into fake-missions?" Sutura asked, drawing the other Shinobi's attention. "On Mandalore, if we have a few Arrogant Ger'Verd's we make a 'Fake' mission for them to take. You kick their asses a bit, showing them their flaws and limits. It's the perfect way to knock out some of that arrogance, and show them they ain't invincible."

The Sandaime Hokage grinned evilly at that. Lately, a quarter of his shinobi have become arrogant, mostly due to the civilian council demanding that the civilian born shinobi be premoted sooner than the Shinobi born. He decided then and there that he'll take the Mandalorians offer, and introduce the Fake-Mission.

"I like what I'm hearing, and I'm putting it into action as soon as I return to the village!" Hiruzen said, the grin never leaving his face.

At last!" Gai shouted. "Now we will be able to truely tell who has true youth in their souls!"

"Hm?" Aren said. "You say something Gai?"

Gai fell over anime-style while the others just laughed at him.

"Why? Why does everyone have to act all hip like Kakashi?" Guy cried as anime styled tears leaked fro his eyes. It was exactly the scene that Roger came upon, and if he could, he would've sweat-dropped at the scene infront of him.

"Uuhh, Mistress Teelay?" the droid asked turning his attention away form the spandex wearing ninja and catching said woman's attention, "2-1B sent me to inform you that Patient Kushina Uzumaki had just woken up from her Coma."

That caught every Shinobis' attention as they turned to look at the droid. Even Aren and Sutura faces had shocked looks.

"Thank you Roger, and tell the Doctor I will be there shortly," Teelay told the droid who snapped into another salute.

"Roger, roger!" the Commander unit Battle Droid acknowledged and went on to carry out it's task. Teelay then turned toward the Shinobi.

"Could one of you get Minato while I go check on Miss Uzumaki?" she requested.

We'll get him Teelay-san." Kakashi and Rin offered as the Jedi nodded and the two left.

"Well then, let's go check on Kushi-Chan!" Aren said, as he stood up. "You're gonna like her, Son. She's a lot like your Mother, you could probobly call them Siblings and you wouldn't be too far off! Just a word of Warning...don't mention anything about her looking like a Tomato."

Yorudan blinked in confusion. "What does that mean?" he asked, and Sarutobi chuckled a bit. "Oh, you'll see Yoru-Kun." he said as the group left to meet Kushina.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Meanwhile, with Minato, Yugao, and Naru

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Minato Namikaze sat on the opposite bed next too where his Daughter, Naru slept with Yugao sitting next to her. She was calmly stroking Naru's hair as she slept, While Minato was worried sick about what his Daughter would think of him. Would she hate him? Despise him? Wish she was never related to him? All of the worse case senario's were flying through his head.

Yuugao saw the worried look on his face decided to try to relieve him (not that way, pervs!) of the worry he had running through his head.

"Don't worry Hokage-sama," the ANBU said getting his attention, "Despite what she went through, Naru is not the type to hate anyone so easily,"

Minato nodded with a smile, feeling a little relieved at that.

"I hope you're right Yuugao," The Yondaime said, and it was at this moment, Naru stirred, groaning as her blue eyes fluttered open.

"...O'Nee-San?" Naru asked, a little drowsely. "I just had...the weirdest dream. I dreampt that Me, Calista-Nee-Chan and Yoru-Kun went out looking for his Parents in their spaceship, we then found a weird building in a cave, and then we found their ship with a scary droid thing, and we went on their ship and onboard we found Yoru-Kun's Parents and the Yondaime Hokage there, and the Yondaime said he was my Father."

Yuugao smiled a bit, but it was Minato who replied first. "That...wasn't a dream, Naru." he said, suprising Naru as she instantly sat straight up. "It was all real...and I am your Father."

There was a long pause between them as it was as if time itself had frozen for Naru as she staired at Minato. "T-That can't be..." she muttered, "Its...that's Impossible! If...if you were My father...w-why does the village hate me?" She shouted, tears working their way out of her eyes. "If I were your Daughter, why do they hate me? It doesn't make sence!"

Minato sighed, it was time to tell her. "Its...because of what I did...to defeat the Kyuubi." he said, silencing Naru. "Naru...what do they tell you and Yoru-Kun about the day of the Kyuubi attack? How I defeated it?"

Naru blinked in confusion. "They...they said you killed the Kyuubi." she said. "It's why your a hero!"

"No." he said. "That's not the truth...even though I fought it for a while...I was no match to a demon of infinate Chakra. And you can't kill something of pure Chakra."

Naru was again confused. "Then...how did you defeat the Kyuubi?" she asked. "It...it doesn't make any sence!"

"Naru, though I couldn't kill the Kyuubi..." Minato took a deep breath. "I could...and did, seal it away." Slowly, Naru's eyes began to widden as she began to see where he was going with this. "The only way to seal a being as powerful as the Kyuubi away...I needed an Infant child to take the burden of becoming the new jinchūriki of the Kyuubi No Kitsune. I could never ask to take someone else's child...if I was unwilling to do that to my own."

He then looked up at Naru, her eyes wide open as she knew the truth. "Naru...all I can do...is ask for your Forgiveness." he said. "I asked the village to see you as a Hero...I didn't think that they had fallen as far as Kushina had thought. And even my back-up plan even if they did failed because I foolishly trusted that man Danzo..."

Naru was simply shocked by this. The Yondaime-...no, her father was asking her for forgiveness. Slowly, that small bit of anger that was inside of her quickly deminished. Even if she tried...she couldn't seem to find a real reason to hate him...after all, he did say he didn't want to seal the Kyuubi in her after all.

"I...I understand you might hate me." Minato continued. "And that you may not want anything to do with me...if you want, I can leave and you'll never have to see me again-" However, he was cut off when Naru suprised him and Yuugao by practically leaping off of her bed, and slammed into Minato, embracing him, while crying into his chest.

"Please, Please don't leave me!" She cried. "I don't want you to leave! I don't hate you! Please, just please don't leave me Daddy!"

Minato eyes widened in shock as he didn't expect his daughter's reaction, but then he just smiled and embraced her back, as Naru continued crying.

"Shh, it's okay Naru-chan," Minato said soothingly as he rubbed circles on her back, "It's okay, I won't leave you ever again,"

Yuugao, all the while, was smiling as her sensei's daughter/little sister figure embraced each other, like any would do with their child. She could swear that tears were coming out of the Yondaime's eyes.

It was at this moment, that Kakashi and Rin opened the door, and saw the father and daughter hugging each other (again, not that way, pervs!). Rin couldn't help but squeal "kawaii!" at the scene, and Kakashi smiling under his mask. He knew that they needed more time to be together, but he had to tell his sensei that his wife was awake.

"Umm, sorry to interrupt sensei, but your wife has awoken from her coma," Kakashi said sheepishly.

Yuugao, Minato and Naru all looked up at Kakashi and Rin. "K-Ka-san's awake?" Naru asked, her eyes wide, while Minato gave out a light chuckle. "Your Mother always was a fast healer." he commented as the three stood up. "Ready too meet you Mom, Naru-Chan?"

Naru smiled brightly and nodded her face, and soon after, the five were on their way too see Kushina once again.

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

With Kushina

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

Kushina was sitting up on a bed in tn the Ne'Tra Orar's infirmary, thinking of what Naru would say once she sees her. Her mind was thinking up all the things she'll say to her, thinking that she'll snap at her, hating for leaving her alone for eight long years.

When she heard the hissing sound of the door opening, she glanced up too see a group of people enter. Several of them were armored figuers she didn't recognize, but she instantly recognized Aren and Sutura, with Sutura and Aren both holding hands with an 8 year old boy with an odd resemblence too Aren who Kushina made an accurate guess that it was their Son, Yorudan. 'My, has he grown.' she thought seeing him. 'I wonder what Naru will look like...'

It was then more familiar figures entered her room, who she instantly recognized as Gai, Hizuren, Asuma, and Kurenai.

"Old Man Hokage!" she said with happy relief as the Old Sarutobi could only chuckle.

"Yes Kushina, I'm here. Rin, Kakashi, and Yuugao are here too, as well as a couple who dearly want to see you," he said and Kushina's eyes widen at that.

"Naru?...Minato?" Kushina asked.

Hizuren smiled and nodded. "Yes, originally Calista-Chan here, along with Yoru-Kun and Naru-Chan came here to find out more about Yorudan's Parents, as you can see both Yorudan and Naru got more than they could ever have asked for." Kushina blinked in suprise. "Wait...exactly how did you all get here?" she asked, slowly getting more and more angry. "Only me, Sutura-Chan, Aren-Kun, and Minato-Kun knew about this place, and who are they?" she pointed at the Mandalorians and Jedi. "And why was I in a Coma for the first eight years of my Daughter's Life!"

Hiruzen couldn't help but sigh at that, he knew this will be her reaction. But he decided to at least tell her some things that happened.

"Kushina...before I answer that, could you tell me what you remember from the night of the Kyuubi attack?" he asked.

"Well..." Kushina said. "I...remember giving birth to Naru, then two hooded figures arrived, one of them fought Minato and Biwako, while I tried to keep Naru safe from the masked one. B-but I failed, h-he held her hostage forcing me to release Akane or he would've killed her, after that everything seems like it was a blur."

Hiruzen frowned, he knew Kushina would do anything to protect her child, he sighed, knowing she was gonna hate what he told her next.

"There's something else you don't know Kushi-chan," the Sandaime said causing Kushina to look up at him in confusion, "Apparently, it was Danzo that told whoever attacked you, where you were giving birth,"

"He What?" Shouted Kushina in Suprise, and anger. "Why the hell would he do that?"

"We believe it may had have something to do with the Uzumaki's Regeneration abilities, from what I have gathered thus far." Ryu said, stepping forward. "At least, that's what we asume from all of the notes found in his office, and in the room where we found you Ma'am."

"And...you are...?" Kushina asked.

Ryu gave a small bow "My name is Ryu Hisanaga, I'm a Jedi Knight of the Jedi Order based in the Galactic Republic," Ryu answered "I ended up on this planet shortly after a Hyperdrive malfunction brought us to this system, although, I am starting to believe that the Force had a rather strong hand in this, especially if the Sith are involved."

Kushina was confused by that but before she could ask, the door opened and coming in was Kakashi and Rin, and to her suprise, Minato, who she thought died when he sealed Akane into their daughter.

"Minato-kun?" She gasped out as tears leaked from her eyes. Minato just gave his trademark grin.

"Yep! It's me!" he said. Before Kushina could attempt to get up and beat him to a pulp, she saw something, or rather someone, hiding behind her husband's leg. Minato saw she was focusing on Naru who was hiding shyly behind his leg.

Smiling he moved his right hand, and gently coerced his daughter out, so Kushina could see her,"No need to be shy around your own Mother, Naru-Chan." Minato said.

"K-Kaa-san?" Naru asked a bit shyly.

Kushina teared up as she nodded wordlessly looking at her daughter with hope and love in her eyes as Naru stared back.

Naru suddenly cried out and lunged at Kushina slamming into the older woman's knees hugging them tightly as tears ran down her face "Kaa-san," Naru cried out "Kaa-san!"

"I'm here," Kushina soothed kneeling down wrapping her arms around Naru "Kaa-san is here for you now, musume."

Ryu smiled at the touching scene as Minato joined his wife and daughter and subtly signaled everyone should leave the room.

*Outside the ship*

As the door shut, the shinobi and Mandalorians exited the YT-1930, met outside the compund. Aren and Sutura decided to take Yorudan on a tour of the entire compund, and show more of their souvenirs from their past days.

Aren told HK-47X to show the others to guest rooms for the night, and the decendant model of the Assassin Droid acknowledged and led them to their rooms.

As soon as everyone left, Ryu decided to talk Hiruzen.

"How do you feel Ba'buir?" The Mando Jetii asked and the old man sighed as if he felt a huge burden lift off his shoulders.

"Relieved, and happy," he said with a small grin and Ryu nodded by what he meant by that.

"So. What happens now?" Ryu asked, and the Sandaime gave a predatory grin at that.

"When I get back, there are going to be a few changes," he said in a sadistic tone, "Starting with the Civilian Council," he said with conviiction and left to rest for the night. Ryu knew right then and there, that coming tomorrow...Judgement will be passed.
