Chapter 7: Family

The Hokage continued to think and stole a glance at Kakashi and saw him shrug his shoulders. He let out a sigh and said, "Very well then. Oracle-san, I name you a citizen of Konohagakure. I also name you legal guardian of Uzumaki Naruto, as well has the new head of the Uzumaki clan."

"WOAH WOAH WOAH! Hold up," Cole said to the elderly Hokage. "I just wanted to adopt Naruto, not become the next head of his clan!" Hiruzen looked at him with a stoic look. "I know," he said. "But this is my one condition for your favor. I need someone on the council who doesn't have a secondary agenda. Someone who doesn't owe anyone anything and can't be bribed. Someone whom I can trust. You should me that I can't trust a lot of my own men. After Danzo's betrayal, I need someone to replace him."

Cole thought this over. With the chance to be at the center of Konoha's decisions and able to get to know and influence the major clans could help him greatly in trying to make the changes he has planned. It would also let him keep an eye on the Uchiha and Hyuuga clans. "Alright, I can see the logic in a move like this," Cole started. "But I don't want my real reasoning for being here to be found out. I'll need cover."

"Well, what do you have in mind?" the Hokage asked. "I'll need a name and a reason for being here. I could say I'm a survivor from Uzu and claim that I just wanted to adopt a fellow clansman," Cole contemplated. "But what name should I use? It has to be a believable name." Kakashi who had been silent till this moment proposed a name, "How about Seinaru?" The two looked at him. "It means "holy". I figured since you are the only Rinnegan user in the history of Konaha and that the powers it gave you are other worldly that it fit." Kakashi finished by mumbling something about 'him and his big mouth'. Cole thought for a moment. After a few seconds a wide grin spread across his face. "I like it"

"Alright then Seinaru-san, I will have a file made about you later. But there is on last thing. We can't let you wear your mask in the council room," Hiruzen said. A annoyed expression came across Cole's face for a brief moment before he let out a brief sigh. "Alright then, I guess it was going to come out sooner or later. This will mean I will also have to explain how I have the Rinnegan..." Cole trailed off as he began to think. After a brief moment he shouted, "AHA, how could I forget! The Uzumaki clan has the potential to unlock the Rinnegan if they add their already existing Senju DNA with Uchiha DNA!"

Cole paused for a moment, "Shit...I said that out loud didn't I..." He looked at a wide eyed Hiruzen and a half way intrigued Kakashi. Cole instantly got serious and said, "My little slip up doesn't get out to anyone. What you heard here is now a S class secret...UNDERSTAND?" Cole finished by letting out a small spike of killing intent. "Y-yes, I'll have to agree with you Seinaru-san." Hiruzen agreed as he coughed a little into his had. Kakashi was slightly surprised to see the usually calm and collected Oracle lose himself for a second. He quickly got over his surprise when he felt the room drop in temperature from Cole's anger with himself.

Hiruzen cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject, "Now, for the matter of your living arrangements. I would have you put into the Uzumaki estate, however after the Kyuubi's attack it has fallen into disrepair." Cole decided to propose his opinion on the subject, "Hokage-sama, would it be possible to use the Namikaze estate?" Hiruzen looked at him, a little agitated by the fact that he would propose to have the house of the late Yondaime Hokage. "I mean, it is the last place of residence of the Uzumaki, and there are things that Naruto is entitled to in the estate," Cole finished. At the mention of his name Naruto looked at Cole's eyes and then to Hiruzen. Hiruzen thought for a few seconds, but with those bright and innocent eyes of the child on him he had a hard time finding anything to go against putting him in the estate. He eventually let out a tired sigh, "Fine, you will be placed in the Namekaze estate."

Cole nodded to the Hokage and said, "Then I guess my business is done here, I will see you tomorrow Hokage-sama." With that Cole rose from his seat and he and his new 'son' left the tower heading towards the estate.

. . . .

Once the new father and son duo made it to the estate Cole entered the front gate and into the manner. Once inside he let out a sigh of utter relief. "Oh Naru-chan, if I have to go through all that just to get something I want, you might be more trouble than your worth." Naruto looked up at him with a slightly worried look on his face, like he knew exactly what he said. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Jeez, those puppy dog eyes will be dangerous when you get older," he said as he nudged the infants cheek gaining a giggle out of the child. "Hehe, well Naru-chan. This is home. The home you should have always had. Next thing is to get you older so you can be a ninja huh?"

Naruto just gave out a tired yawn and nestled against Cole. "Looks like someone's tired. I guess I'll have to find us a room for a nap, kami knows I need one too." Cole went through the rooms and found the master bed room. He laid down on the bed with Naruto already asleep on his chest. He looked to the child and mumbled to himself, "Never thought I'd be a father at fifteen..." With that he slowly drifted off to sleep.

He didn't sleep long however. He was forced awake when he found himself in a dark and damp sewer. He rose from his laying position and found himself face to face with a both furious and confused Kyuubi no Kitsune.

"Human! Why do you smell like Hagoromo-jiji!?" Kurama commanded Cole. Cole looked at the fearsome demon and just chuckled. "Well it's good to finally meet you Kurama-chan."

"RRAAHHH!" Kurama didn't take to kindly of someone being that casual with himself. He clawed at his cage and snarled at Cole. "Don't you dare speak that way to me human trash! NOW! Answer my question!" Cole just let out a sigh and looked into Kurama's eyes. "Kurama, look at my eyes, feel my chakra. Your father brought me to this world. He gave me his power. He wanted me to raise your current vessel so that this world will know peace. I ask you this know. Will you forgo your hatred for humans and work with me?"

Kurama just snarled even louder than before and yelled in complete anger, "You humans mean nothing to me! Let me out of this cage so I can show you how much I care for your so called peace! I am hatred! I am the Kyuubi no Yoko and I will kill you one day human! Now, get out of my sight!" With those words Cole was ejected from Naruto's mindscape and back into sleep.

When Cole woke up he saw little blue eyes looking at him. "Your tenants a little rude you know that, but he'll come around."

. . . .

Cole decided to swaddle Naruto in his Kimono and got back into the Namikaze vault of scrolls. When Cole got down there Naruto gave out a light sneeze. "Yeah, it's a bit dusty down here, huh little guy?" He looked around the shelves and different tables that were filled to the brim with scrolls and weapons. Cole finally found what he was looking for. The Fuinjutsu section. And what he found surprised him. Cole looked and found thirteen shelves overflowing onto some sables. All with just Fuinjutsu scrolls and basics. "Well little Naru-chan, looks like we have a lot of reading ahead of us, huh?" Cole said as he looked down at the child. Naruto looked at him and tugged his shirt and looked at him. "Must be hungry huh, well just let me grab a scroll and we can get some dinner." Cole grabbed a scroll on simple sealing and storage seals and went back up to the kitchen.

Cole looked around and found that all the formula and milk had gone bad. "Well Naru-chan, looks like you gonna have to wait till we go shopping." Naruto pouted at his new father but just buried his face in his chest. "You are a clingy little guy huh." Cole said as he gave Naruto a little hug. He took some money with him and the scroll and went out to restock the kitchen and baby supplies.

. . . .

Anko was going through her weekly shopping routine, when she spotted a familiar figure walk out of a store. "Hey! Oracle!" she said as she hurried to her friend. "Hey, whats up with you just up an-" she stopped when she saw the nervous infant trying to bury himself in Oracle's Kimono. "W-what, what's with the kid?" she stammered.

"Ah, well. As of today, he's my son. Say hello little Naru-chan. Anko-chan isn't that bad once you get to know her." Cole said as the shy child just huddled closer to Cole. He sighed and said, "I'm gonna have to get you out of this little shell of yours." Anko looked at him still gaping that a kid only a couple years older than her had adopted a child. "Why did you adopt some brat? Your only a-" then it dawned on her. "No way is tha-" she was cut off, and blushed a deep red, when Oracle but his had over her mouth. "Before you go saying anything your not supposed, yes, yes he is." Cole looked at her and she nodded and he let his hand come back to support Naruto. "And by the way, it's not Oracle anymore. My new name is Uzumaki Seinaru. And that's Seinaru-sama to you since I'm on the council and a clan head."

Anko just looked at him without any emotion showing on her face. "Yeah, the whole 'sama' thing ain't gonna cut it." Cole let out a laugh and when he sobered he asked, "Would you like to join me and Naru-chan for dinner?" Anko burst into a blush that could only be rivaled by the queen of blushing, Hinata, and stammered, "S-s-s-sure, S-S-S-Seinaru." Cole chuckled at her reaction and led her to the Namikaze estate.

. . . .

"Holy crap! You live here!?" Anko asked when they got to the Namikaze estate. "Yeah," Cole responded. "I have the old man give us the house little Naruto's mom lived in." He showed her in and and went into the kitchen and made Naruto a bottle. "Hey, could you feed Naruto while I make dinner?" Anko hesitantly took the child who began to whimper a little. "S-sure." She took the bottle and gave began to feed the small child. After a few tries to get him to eat, Naruto finally gave up resisting and ate. While Cole started to cook Anko just looked at the boy in her arms. Her usually defiant and angry eyes softened at the innocence of the child. Naruto felt the lightening of her mood and began to drink the milk a little faster and became a little less afraid. "Looks like hes taken a liking to you." Cole said as he put their plates on the table. About forty minutes the food was ready and Naruto was still quietly laying in Anko's arms. He was looking at her eyes in pure wonder.

"He does seem to look at people in the eye a lot," Cole thought to himself. "Must be how he learned to trust someone or not..." His thoughts were confirmed when Naruto willingly gripped Anko's jacket and nestled into Anko. This earned a 'Eep' from the poor girl and Cole chuckled a bit. "See, he just needed to get to know you. He gets really clingy with people he trusts." Cole looked at her with a warm smile and Anko let loose a furious blush.

She began to eat and said, "Holy crap this is good! What is it?" Cole looked up from his plate and put a hand behind his head and said, "Well, I use to like to cook a lot. This is a Teriyaki Steak with stir fried greens. The that is a thick chicken and potato soup. I also have a maple and honey dipping sauce that I made that can be used on the biscuits." Anko looked at him and blushed slightly. "Heh, this is sort of backwards," she mumbled under her breath. "Hm?" Close said.

"N-nothing," Anko hurriedly replied. "It's just I'm not much of a cook. I usually just get precooked food or go to the Dango shop for food. So this sort of really good home made food is just really nice." A light blush came across Cole's face at the the complements. "Hehe, thanks for the complement Anko-chan."

"N-no problem." She said shakily. Their meal continued in silence until they finished. "W-well it's late and I have a mission tomorrow so I guess I should be off," Anko said. "Yeah," Cole replied and took Naruto back into his arms and began to lead her out. "I'll see you around, ya know. And don't be a stranger, you are always welcome back for dinner." Cole finished with a smile. Anko blushed furiously, nodded and left.

Cole closed the door behind her and looked down to Naruto, "You think she likes me?" Naruto looked up at him and yawned. "Yeah, me too." After changing Naruto's daiper and getting the child into some pajama's he found in the nursery, Cole changed into some of Minato's old night gear and sat in the master bed with Naruto. As Naruto fell asleep Cole was reading on his Fuinjutsu scroll. At about eleven he decided to turn in and laid down. He looked at Naruto who somehow found his way on top of Cole's chest. "So this is what it feels like to be a parent," he said to himself. "I could get used to this." Cole quickly into sleep.
