Hotaru smiles as they all head to the hokage's office, as they would now have to explain about the enemies that would be cropping up from time to time that regular ninja tactics just would not beat. " My lady, we need to talk about a rather pressing matter. " Shizune says, knocking on the door.
Tsunade bids them enter and Tsuki explains everything, using the Lunar Mind Meld to help the process along, though Serena and Hotaru had to takes turns explaining what had brought them to Konoha in the first place, " I see, will you scouts agree to be a secret corps that protects Konoha, and that reports directly to me? " Tsunade asks.
" I find no problem with that, Lady Tsunade. " Serena says.
Hotaru steps forward, " As long as nothing interferes with my duty of protecting my hime then I agree as well. "
" Understood, she is your leader. " Tsunade says.
" Milady, my brothers and I would like to start our band up again, see how well we go over here, " Seiya says.
" I can see no problem with that, the ninja world needs entertainers as well, I'll slack your duties off to D rank missions for a while until we can see how well you go over here. " Tsunade says.
" Thank you, Lady Tsunade. " Taiki says and elbows Yaten.
The silver haired teen glares at him, " Yes, thank you, Tsunade, for this wonderful opportunity. "
" All right, enough with the formality, Serena, just what are you capable of anyhow? " Tsunade says.
" Without the restrictions my mother placed upon me, quite a bit. I am fully capable of making bargains with the biju and fulfilling my obligations, and at my full power need not fear dying from the use of my crystal. Plus, I was exceptional with twin katanas and a glaive, though my true calling was something different, if I had a trustworthy Scout of Time, then I would see if I could find my true prince, I know that my brother is here, I can sense him, and it would be nice to get to know him again. He was the sunny dispositioned one, while I was the darker one. " Serena states.
" Does he have blonde hair, blue eyes, wears orange, and a voracious appetite? " Tsunade asks.
" Yes, why? " Serena asks her.
" His name is Naruto Uzumaki, and he has the nine tailed fox inside of him, sealed there by his father, Minato, the fourth hokage, his mother, Kushina Uzumaki, being the previous host of the nine tailed fox. He's an orphan now, and shunned by the older members of the village, though he has saved us several times over. " Tsunade replies.
" Naruto always was the nine tailed carrier, our father had sealed the nine tails we dealt with in Naruto to protect him from the machinations of our mother, he never dreamed she would try what she has done to me. She turned me into a blonde haired, blue eyed, naïve, docile idiot. I hated her for it, I hated her back then, especially for the way that Hotaru was treated. " Serena says.
" If Naruto were to remember his lunar heritage could he keep better control of the fox? " Tsunade asks.
" He could. I'll have Tsuki hang out with him for a few days, acting like a normal cat, and listen to what she has to say before I proceed with the reinstatement of his memories. " Serena says.
" I find it hard to believe that Naruto is a reincarnated prince. " Neji states.
" He always puts everyone else ahead of himself, correct? " Hotaru asks him.
" Yes, why? " Neji ask her.
" That is the mark of a true leader, Neji. A true leader will put the welfare of his people before the welfare of himself. " Hotaru replies.
Neji blinks, " You're right, and he has always had this way about him that allows him to make friends easily. "
Serena smirks, " It's a Lunarian trait, we're a naturally friendly race, though I am more like our Uranian father. I love a good fight, and I'm more suspicious minded. "
" I get it, you Lunarians were more of a peace loving race. " Shizune says.
" Yes, but my mother was a psycho, manipulative bitch. " Serena says.
" So, you three are her new court? " Tsunade asks Seiya.
" We are, our princess gave us to Odango as a gift. After everything she did for us it was only right that we give something in return. " Seiya answers.
" You didn't have to help me out of obligation. " Serena protests.
" We didn't, we helped you because you're our friend. " Taiki says.
" Yeah, you never stopped believing that we could be friends and work together, you're why we succeeded and why Galaxia is now free once again, along with all the senshi she captured. " Yaten says.
" Neji, Shizune, we'll need to keep this quiet, especially from the council. Those doddering old fools will want to use the crystal for their own personal gains, and I doubt we want that. " Tsunade says.
" We can't let my uncle find out either or he'll have the Hyuuga's come calling even more than he does. " Neji says.
" I'll just let Hotaru show them the door with her glaive. " Serena says, grinning wickedly.
Hotaru smiles widely at this, she had gained Amara's love of scaring men. Her smile grew even wider, " Hime, it would be my pleasure to keep unwanted suitors at bay. Tsunade, do you know where I could get a scythe? "
Neji shivers at the feral look in Hotaru's eyes, not much could scare him and yet the scout of death and rebirth scared him just now. " Saturn, you need to let Hotaru be in control again. " Serena says firmly, looking straight into her eyes, not backing down from her in the least.
Slowly the darkness recedes from Hotaru's violet eyes, " Thanks, Serena. "
Serena smiles, " No problem, Hotaru. I know Saturn can be a bit over bearing. "
Neji looks at them, " Saturn? "
" Yes, you see the spirit of Saturn is a bit darker than Hotaru is. " Serena says.
" She's more likely to kill first and ask questions later, though she has mellowed through knowing the princess. " Hotaru says.
" So, she's essentially like a berserker in a way? " Shizune says.
" Yes, but she would also destroy the planet if she felt it was necessary to fulfill her duty. " Hotaru states simply.
" Wow, she is seriously dedicated to her duty, like a true ninja. " Neji says.
Hotaru blinks, " You actually admire her, everyone else actually fears her, which is why I was treated the way I was during the Silver Millennium. No one liked the fact that she could destroy everyone, that I could destroy everyone with one swing of my glaive. "
