KG: Hey sup people we're back with KG's the most...

Person: Hey you KG. We're here to talk with you because we find that your show is to be canceled and put down until further notice!

KG: WHAT?! WHY?

Man: Well, we're not turning in enough cream soda to convert to money to pay the people to do this. Sorry, but until you get more than this isn't going to be possible.

KG: What do you want me to do about it?

Man: Don't know, but you'll have to think of something or you won't have a show.

KG: Fuckin' A! Looks like I'll have to do some stuff then. Well, what are you still doing up here? Go down there! DO IT! NOW!

"What was the purpose in making Rin Nohara the Sanbi jinchuuriki?" Naruto asked firmly. The anbu in the room stiffened from his question and were ready to move to intercept, but Mei didn't give them the order to do so. They just watched confused as both cousins looked at each other's eyes. It amazed them that while Mei wasn't smiling, her eyes didn't lose their warmth or their mirth. Nor did it seem that she was going to shy away from her cousin's question.

"I take it that this isn't something that Konoha truly knows about?" Mei asked and while that wasn't what Naruto was expecting for a response he just accepted it for the time. "I'm sure Baa-chan knows since she's the Godaime Hokage, but I got most of my answers from Rin-chan herself. I just hoped that you would be able to shed some light on that," Naruto said and Mei gave a small nod of her head.

"I suppose that's good to know. Very well Naruto. I'll tell you, but I hope you don't mistake this generosity towards you as normal. Normally you would have already been laid into the ground dead for that question. This is just because your my cute, little cousin," Mei said seriously, but she noticed Naruto's eyes harden against hers just telling her and the remaining anbu to try and go through with that. Cousins or not, they were from different villages and as such had the responsibility of protection to their people.

"I understand Mei-chan. Thank you for telling me that," Naruto said with a disarming smile and Mei did nod, but the anbu could feel the tension in the air making it thick and even hard for one of them to breathe normally. They didn't show it, but they were just slightly trembling.

"The Third Great Shinobi War. I was only a child during those times, but I remember them well. Kiri and Konoha didn't have the...best relationship just like the rest of the nations. This was during the time of our Sandaime Mizukage towards the beginning of Yagura, our Yondaime Mizukage. I didn't know them personally so I can't offer the name of the Sandaime. However I remember hearing about Kiri having captured a young woman in the midst of the war. I didn't get far, but I read through all the current reports of Kirigakure's history and actions. The purpose of making Rin Nohara the Sanbi jinchuuriki was to...intentionally let Konoha retake her to their village," Mei paused for a breath and she noticed Naruto place a finger to his chin.

"Once she was inside the village then the Sanbi would be let loose by unknown means and rampage through the village taking them into the depths of destruction. Obviously this plan failed because we never predicted that Kakashi Hatake would kill Rin Nohara to protect the village," Mei said with her hands clenched together, but she noticed Naruto shake his head back and forth.

"That wasn't it. Kakashi-sensei refused to kill her. It took some work from them both, but I got nearly everything out about them. He didn't want her life to end just like...one of his former teammates. He told me that he engaged the shinobi from Kiri and Rin-chan killed herself on Kakashi-sensei's attack stopping that plan," Naruto said and Mei gave a small understanding nod of her head.

"Might I ask why you wanted to know the reasons for this?" Mei asked and Naruto looked out the window. "I wouldn't say that I wanted to know this for the village's sake, but for Rin-chan's. While I know, or hope, that she bears no hatred to Kiri for what they did since it was war and underhanded tactics are thought over, I think she's still...troubled by that and I want Konoha's treaty with Kiri to be a good one then I just don't want there to be a reason for someone to reconsider," Naruto said and Mei rose an eyebrow.

"Well Kiri isn't the purest village. We'll gladly admit our mistakes. Though I was worried that this would inflict with my own question," Mei said and now it was Naruto's turn to look surprised. That's right. Mei did have her own question, but allowed Naruto to ask his first. Guess he wouldn't be leaving just yet. "Alright, what is your question?" Naruto asked and Mei just smiled slightly.

"Now Naru-chan, I want you to know that Kiri isn't be disrespectful when we ask this, but I find that I don't have as much time with my family as I would like to have," Mei started and Naruto narrowed his eyes. She didn't even had to finish her talking for him to know what she wanted. He didn't interrupt her on what she wanted to say, just settling for listening to her for this time.

"So I wish that...the Uzumaki could consider Kiri their home," Mei said and Naruto then frowned. He scratched the back of his head and sighed to himself. "I doubt that's going to be possible Mei-chan. The Uzumaki clan is already a noble clan in Konoha, but honestly it's not my call to make. I'm not the clan head. Kaa-chan is," Naruto said and Mei chuckled to herself.

"However you are a clan heir Naruto-kun. Just pass it to Kushi-chan if you can for me. I just want to know that my family is well within Konoha," Mei said while Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, that's fine I guess. I didn't even know so many of us existed to about nearly a year ago, but it's been the best year of my life. Sure I'll pass it to Kaa-chan though if we both know her then we'll know her answer to that," Naruto said and Mei couldn't fault that logic. After all, Naruto was just like his mother.

"Well I suppose we have nothing more to talk about Naru-chan. I'll see you later for our meeting," Mei said with a wink and Naruto felt a shiver go down his spine before he bowed and then quickly left the office while Mei chuckled to himself. "He's still got that innocent face about him," Mei said to herself before moving on to her work.

Meanwhile, Naruto left the Mizukage Mansion and entered the streets before he felt a tap on his shoulder. The blonde turned around, but noticed no one in sight. He raised an eyebrow and sighed to himself. "So that's what it is," Naruto said to himself as he closed his eyes. They filled with Honshou and Naruto noticed the person behind him getting a wide eye from him.

"C-Chiriku-san?" Naruto asked while Chiriku nodded with a slight smile of his face. "I understand now just how special you are Shikyō-sama. I also now realize that power that I felt from Kushina-san and Mikoto-san. It was you're doing," the monk said and Naruto turned around.

"How did you die? We met you only six months ago," Naruto said while Chiriku frowned. "Akatsuki. I had died by two men known as Hidan and Kakuzu. Somehow I met up with Asuma. It is strange Shikyō-sama. Until we meet the Shinigami then we don't know anything. Present or future are dead to us and the faces of our beloved ones are changed. Yet once you became the Shinigami's summoner then we were allowed to roam. It is an amazing thing," Chiriku said while Naruto sighed.

"Well I took care of them along with the others. You won't have to worry about them anymore," Naruto said while Chiriku smiled. "Thank you, Shikyō-sama, but that is not the reason of why I have come to you. Kushina-sama is the one who called me with her very own Shi no Mai. She only has three personal summons including myself. It will be interesting when you meet them later. However I have been told by Kushina-sama to give you a message," Chiriku said while Naruto narrowed his eyes.

"Mikoto Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha, Yuna Uchiha, Suigetsu, Juugo, and Karin are on their way towards Uzushiogakure with Itachi Uchiha's body. They seek your aid immediately since Itachi Uchiha has become a spirit," Chiriku said while Naruto sighed to himself. He never expected that they would actually find him that fast, but then again his cousin was a natural-born sensor. Never underestimate Uzumaki blood dammit!

Naruto nodded his head and patted Chiriku's shoulder. "Thanks. I'll be there as soon as I can. You can go back now," Naruto said and Chiriku nodded as he quickly flew into the air and sped off while Naruto's eyes turned to normal. He turned his head and he then noticed people looking at him in surprise while they whispered to each other. To them the young blond was just talking to himself like he was crazy.

Naruto looked at them all before he snapped out of his thoughts. Oh and speaking of snapping, Naruto snapped his fingers as the world around him stopped. He then sped off from the masses of people and snapped his fingers again only giving the people an orange flash that suddenly disappeared from their view. They looked left and right, but then they went about their business. Weird things were best ignored.

With Fuka

Fuka sighed to herself and left the shop she was just in. Having completed her mission she really had to return to the village, but dammit if her Uzumaki blood didn't make her free-spirited. "Now then I think I'll return to the hotel," Fuka said with a nod of her head before she noticed Naruto hopping along the rooftops in the direction that she was going. Fuka blinked before a smile made its way to her face. She chuckled to herself and rubbed her hands together then ran off after Naruto.

This happened to be very fast, she noticed. She saw Naruto quickly land down to the apartment and go inside. She followed him up the stairs and towards their room. It was there that she grabbed his arm. Naruto quickly reacted and flipped a surprised Fuka from the doorstep to the bed in one swift motion. Fuka blinked and Naruto did the same. "Fuka-chan?" Naruto asked in surprise while Fu smiled. "Oh my Naruto-kun. We haven't even kissed yet, but I don't mind if you wish to get right down to it," Fuka said and Naruto chuckled while he helped Fu to the floor from the bed. Fuka flipped her hair from her face and gave Naruto that standard flirty, yet gentle, smile of hers.

"So what's got my cousin on so much edge?" Fuka asked sitting in a chair while Naruto leaned against the wall. "Sasuke found Itachi," Naruto said and Fuka raised an eyebrow. "Is that supposed to be good?" she asked and Naruto did nod his head to that one, but it wasn't the way that Fuka was expecting it to be. It almost seemed a little forced.

"Itachi didn't own up even when Sasuke and Yuna knew the truth. They were forced to fight and Itachi's dead right now," Naruto said while Fuka stiffened. "Hmm so he should be aware of your status now right? You could just pop over there get it done and then let that be the end of it," Fuka said while Naruto frowned.

"I know, but Itachi wasn't exactly a small deal. Plus I used up my allowed four summons for Hidan and Kakuzu. It's back to the same thing of one person per one killed person or Shin takes them back. I still want to avoid killing anyone if I can help it," Naruto said while Fuka nodded seeing the problem.

"Well you'll just have to take it one step at a time Naruto. No rush. They won't be to Uzushio for maybe another day or two. You have that much time to think about it," Fuka said and Naruto agreed with her. He just hoped that it would all be right in the end.

Uzumaki Compound

"So that's the situation that we face now?" Risa asked and Kushina nodded with a small sigh. Tayuya and Guren leaned against the walls while Komachi and Yura sat on one of the couches. Shi laid upon the carpet looking at the ceiling. Even Fujikaze was there listening to the family's ordeal while taking small sips of green tea.

"Well can't you teleport us like Nii-sama can?" Yura asked and Kushina blushed then looked at the wall. "I...don't know how to do that. All I know is how to stop time for those five minutes and bring summons. I haven't exactly had that much time to learn," Kushina said while everyone else deflated.

"But the old hag gave Naruto the all-clear for reviving the Uchiha guy right? What's there to concerned about?" Tayuya asked while Komachi spoke, but didn't bother looking up to meet anyone's eyes. "I do remember Danzo or...someone mentioning Uchiha Itachi. If he were captured alive then he'd be a part of the breeding program. Still distasteful I admit, but it would be necessary and his powers would be sealed forever. Tsunade-sama knows that Mikoto-sama would never allow that to happen so in order to avoid that then she considers it best to keep Uchiha Itachi out of the village," Komachi answered.

"And where would we possibly keep him? The only place we have is Uzushio, or so I know of since I haven't been there yet. It begs the question of what he can do. Do we just let him roam on mission like Haku-san and Zabuza-san?" Shi asked. The blond Uzumaki had well-tried to assume his place in the clan as more of a negotiator of sorts for the clan in other matters. No one argued that role and Shi seemed adamant about it. Since the new treaty between Konoha and Kumo, information had been shared a lot and Uzumaki were a family oriented type of clan so it was sort of natural that they told Shi of what they had done. Likewise, Shi knew what some things he could tell his Raikage and the other things that he just plain wouldn't. He was a shinobi of Kumo, but he was also an Uzumaki and as such he knew that the destruction of his clan was partly Kumo's fault. Not that he faulted his Raikage for that.

"Well right now they are maintaining the wildlife there. As it stands Haku told me that Wave comes to us so much that she, Zabuza and Rin decided to build a trade port as well as dock. I gave Tazuna the times on when the whirlpools are...the least threatening to attempt trade if a Uzumaki isn't with them in which most cases we aren't. I have also heard just a few recent things that some citizens of Wave, with our approval, plan to move towards Uzushiogakure since we were renowned for our fishing spots back when I was a child," Kushina said while everyone else glanced to each other.

"But isn't that the base for your team? I mean granted you're not like anbu in that you have to keep your identities a secret, but can we risk that?" Yura asked while Kushina frowned. "I honestly don't know. As a team we're all in the bingo book already. It is our island, but I won't stop them from going if they want to. As it stands we're more of an unknown and rising economy than anything else. It's probably not what we intended, but we make money off it nonetheless. Because of it we can afford most of the things we've got for everyone here," Kushina said before Shi leaned up.

"But what do we need it for? We have Konoha and Kumo providing services since the treaty began. Is there a reason for a separate economy?" Shi asked. "I don't know what I'll do with it yet. However I would rather like everyone else's opinion on it when we get the chance to meet up again. Speaking of that, Shi aren't you supposed to be going back to Kumo now?" Kushina asked and Shi sighed.

"That's right. I'll be leaving soon, but not for very long. I'm just supposed to be delivering some documents, meet with some people and then start off from that. Still no word on Akiko-san. It's been what...two...three weeks since she's been gone? All our searches have turned up negative," Shi said and Kushina sighed with a slightly disappointed nod.

No one said anything after that talk as there didn't seem to be much to be talking about. They all just sat in the room for those few moments before Kushina stood to her feet. "Yura, Risa I'm going to need the both of you. We're heading to Uzushio on short notice. I'm sure that Mikoto and the others will be landing soon so we'd better get there. Guren you're in charge of the clan while I'm gone," Kushina said as she walked out the door while Guren just nodded absently. Risa followed her cousin out and so did Yura.

Then everything else kicked off as Komachi went back into the basement. Shi went on his way towards the Konoha Gates to leave for Kumogakure while Tayuya decided to read the body flowchart once again to appease her mother as well as not get bashed over the head again. God she hated that.

Fujikaze leaned up from where he was and rubbed his long black hair. He then gently set his tea-cup down and walked out into the forest. "I think I will pay my little brother a visit," Fujikaze said before he went after Shi to give the blond Uzumaki some company for at least part of his journey.

Uzushiogakure

If Mikoto could say at least one thing for the things about the sea was that she was thankful for its ever-changing wind pattens. Because of the strong currents, their ship had moved a lot faster and they reached Uzushio as easily as they could. Luckily, they had Karin with them to open and close the whirlpools to the mainland that housed their actions.

"We'll be reaching the land soon," Mikoto announced and everyone quickly nodded as Juugo moved to collect Itachi's body. He picked up the dead, for now, Uchiha and laid him on his back. Karin groaned and opened her eyes while Yuna shook Sasuke to wake up the Uchiha. Sasuke opened his eyes and stood to his feet and as their ship entered the island everyone was quite surprised that they noticed a small dock as well as about seven ships along the coastline. "Intruders?" Sasuke asked getting his sword ready. Yuna and Mikoto narrowed their eyes as their ship docked.

They quickly reached the beach and then made their way towards the village. Once they appeared through the large doors, the sight surprised them as they saw people walking the streets and laughing with each other. Merchants were talking and the team could even see some small shops with kids playing in the streets while parents and adults conversed with each other. "What...is this?" Karin asked and Mikoto shook his head.

"Karin, hone in on the chakra signature for either Rin-san, Zabuza-san, or Haku-san. We need to find them," Mikoto said and Karin nodded as she closed her eyes. She quickly searched around the area for the other inhabitants before opening her eyes. "They are just up further ahead from where we are. Near our houses, but what are all these people doing here?" Karin asked. As she had known it, this was the Uzumaki homeland and the whirlpools should've blocked the people off unless other Uzumaki was able to open it for them, but with most of them in Konoha, her here and Naruto with Yuri, Yukimaru, and Fuka in Kiri then how did this open?

The team of six walked through the streets and quickly left the laughing and talking civilians behind and entered into the more common areas of where their houses were. Thankfully it wasn't far at all for them as Suigetsu moved to open the front door. They all walked inside to the sight of Haku and Zabuza speaking about things before the two came to the attention of the others in the room.

"Mikoto-san, you're back," Haku said with a soft smile while Mikoto just slightly nodded. "Hai Haku-san. Umm what was...that outside that we all just saw?" Mikoto asked and Haku looked out of the door at what Mikoto was referring to and noted the sudden increase in population.

"Hai, they are civilians from Wave and Kiri here for the fishing season. Zabuza-sama and I realized that we have too much space so I thought to...allow people to live near the coastline of Uzushiogakure. Most have built shops and some are taking up a permanent residency here," Haku said while Sasuke frowned.

"We're supposed to be a base for Hinoken. We're not some minor village that these people can come to," Sasuke said and Haku nodded. "We spoke it over with Kushina-san, but she didn't give an answer just yet so I allowed them to come here while she makes her decision. I'm sorry for I did something wrong," Haku said while Mikoto sighed.

"It's not that. It's just that we were not to have people know about this location. Though since that masked man knows then it's bound to slip out. We'll have to do something about this, but Kushina's our commander so this is can't happen without her say so. Fine we'll agree to it for now, but this must be put up for discussion another time. Zabuza-san, would you mind placing Uchiha Itachi in my room?" Mikoto asked and Zabuza turned his head to look at her with a small glare before grumbling. He stood to his feet and quickly took Uchiha Itachi's body from Juugo's arms. He looked down at the Uchiha and snorted.

"Not so tough for an S-rank missing-nin once you're dead," Zabuza thought to himself before he walked towards Mikoto's room with Uchiha Itachi's body. Meanwhile Uchiha Itachi watched the scene curiously. He didn't know of where he could go since he felt some kind of force that kept him from straying from his body, but he didn't go against it. He just decided to use that time to think for now. If he would come back then no doubt everyone would have questions for him and with his mother around he knew that he would be giving them. Let it be known that Mikoto was very stubborn despite her disposition. However Itachi was even more surprised with Yuna. It had been so long since he'd seen Uchiha Shisui's older sister. He could never forget how Shisui learned of his sister's death. It had really affected him greatly and Itachi had done all he could to be there for his friend. Now he had another chance to make things right. After all, Shisui did give one of his sharingan to him. The other one...was right with Danzo.

"Looks like I'll have some investigations to do of my own. Though I might have to do them if Shikyō-sama allows me the chance at life again," Itachi widened his eyes for a moment before chuckling. Still calling Naruto, his Shikyō was very unsettling. If anyone told Itachi that Naruto would become this much then he'd have deemed it impossible, but that was Naruto for people. So Itachi floated after his body and saw Zabuza lay him gently down and then close the door. Itachi looked at his body and reached out to grab it before he felt a jolt of pain. He cursed and jumped back. "So that's how we aren't able to come back into our bodies if we die. The chakra in my body is completely gone and I doubt it will come back easily like before. I'm now filled with a power called...well I wonder what it's called," Itachi thought to himself before shaking his head these questions and more he hoped he would have answered at some point. However as Itachi looked at his body he had one thought. Not bad at all.

Mizukage Mansion, Nighttime

Naruto sat in front of Mei Terumi in the meeting room while Yuri and Yukimaru sat just a little behind him observing everything that was going on. Right behind Mei was Ao and Chojuro. There wasn't supposed to be this many people for just a talk of the treaty or so, but neither felt a problem with it as Naruto looked over the map with Mei.

"So Kiri will trade with Konoha. Its metals for our crop exports right?" Naruto asked and Mei nodded with a smile. "Hai, I hear rumors that the food in Konoha is very exquisite and I would love to have my village get a taste of such cuisine. I hope that this isn't an issue," Mei said and Naruto shook his head.

"Not a problem at all Mei-chan. However since we're in a treaty then I would like to...diversify things between Konoha and Kiri. If you may remember, during the Kiri chunin exams that happened that past year I got a good look at your taijutsu and I think Konoha could really benefit from that as well as your use of kenjutsu. Needless to say, but we don't have that many good sword-holders," Naruto said with a chuckle while Mei raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Well I was sure that Kushina was great. Mikoto Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, Uchiha Sasuke, Yugao Uzuki, and even my little cousin, Naruto Uzumaki. There is enough of you to be a team apparently," Mikoto said while Naruto rubbed the back of his head.

"Well yeah there is that, but can't say that Kiri's swordsmen wouldn't give us a run for our money. Especially Sasuke," Naruto said glancing towards Chojuro. The blue-haired boy gulped to himself before he straightened up.

"Well Kiri has always been interested in a few of Konoha's techniques as well. How about one kenjutsu style for every B-rank suiton scroll we get," Mei said and Naruto nodded. "Very well. That seems fine enough. However Baa-chan's the one with the final say. I'm just here for the negotiating of the terms," Naruto confirmed and Mei nodded her head happily.

"Hai, I understand that Naru-chan. So are we finished here? It's very late now," Mei said and Naruto nodded his head. "Hai, we're finished here. We just need your stamp of approval when you sign it tomorrow and then we will be on our way," Naruto said and Mei looked down dejectedly. Something Naruto noticed and couldn't help smiling about.

"But we'll turn up sooner or later. Not everyday that I get an awesome cousin, or aunt, who's the Mizukage. Come Yuri, Yukimaru we're going back to the hotel," Naruto said while the others nodded and stood to their feet. Naruto could see that Yukimaru was just a little tired from the day, but Yuri seemed rather excited about the world of politics. It was that same grin that he gave when he had a prank being pulled off. He never liked that grin except on himself.

Sighing, Naruto lent out his hand to Yuri. She took it and stood to her feet while Yukimaru did the same and dusted his clothes off. Both bowed to Mei and walked out the door with Naruto following. He closed the door and they left the mansion entering the streets. "Nii-chan, I thought we were going to go to...," Naruto placed a hand over Yuri's mouth and nodded.

"We are. Just as soon as we collect Fuka-chan," Naruto said to Yuri. "Did a cutie call my name?" Everyone turned around and they noticed Fuka dropped to the ground. She gave a light wave to them while she walked up to them.

"Fuka-neechan, what are you doing out here?" Yukimaru asked while Fuka gently patted her surrogate little brother's head. Honestly this was rather surprising for her, all these new emotions coming into play with her over the months. Never once had Fuka been concerned about taking someone's chakra for her own and killing them in the process. She never wanted to use her Kiss of Death technique on anyone, well maybe one person, but without the 'death' part to the kiss. She realized one thing. She had changed. A great deal of her change had to do with her family. Where as she grew up alone and care for no one and nothing, it was all replaced by the happiness of her family comforting her. Learning her families art, being together. It made her the happiest person that she could ever be.

Fuka was flirty. Yes she admitted that and she liked to have fun and tease, but she was by no fuckin' means a slut or a whore despite what some people thought she was. Nope, she was just a vixen. A plain, playful, Uzumaki vixen who liked to tease her family. Especially if they were blond.

Taking herself out of her thoughts, Fuka took her hand off Yukimaru's head and smiled. "Nothing really. Naruto-kun told me what we were doing so I just agreed. Ero-sennin-kun finished his business here. He can make it back to Konoha on his own right?" Fuka asked with a wink while Yukimaru sweatdropped.

"Fuka-neechan, you are evil...we should do that," Yukimaru said while Yuri and Naruto gawked. Sniff, they grow up so fast when under bad influence. Now if only they could try to get him to prank with them then it would be that much better.

"Well then, shall we go?" Naruto asked and the all nodded their heads with smile as Naruto extended his hand. "Jikūyugami no Jutsu," Naruto shouted as the purple portal appeared in front of everyone. They all stepped through and the portal closed instantly leaving none the wiser about them leaving that fast. Especially not Jiraiya. Before they went to Uzushio, they had to go and...make a stop.

Hi no Kuni

Kushina, Yura and Risa were quickly racing through the forest oat night with the moon high in the sky. "Don't you think we're rushing a bit much Kushina? We're not going to get there for another two days at best. You also just got that Chiriku guy back into your sword so why are we rushing?" Risa asked while Kushina looked back.

"No reason. I just don't feel like taking it easy and waiting to get there. Besides, I have some things that I need to think about with everyone. Once Sochi goes back to Konoha to give Tsunade the papers then I'll have him bring Tayuya and Guren with us. Don't need anyone questioning where all of us are going in a group like that. So Sochi will be able to pick them up tomorrow and we'll gather on Uzushio," Kushina said getting a nod from Risa and a nod from Yura.

Continuing in their running, Kushina suddenly felt the large presence of Honshou and quickly stopped on a tree branch. Risa was about to ask why they had stopped before they noticed the bright purple portal in front of them. Knowing the only person who could do that, they smiled as they noticed Naruto step out. "All aboard. One-way portal to Uzushiogakure. Taking three lovely Uzumaki ladies!" Naruto said with a bow of his head with his hand held out in the direction of the portal.

"Nii-sama!" Yura said surprised to see Naruto in front of them while Risa and Kushina sported two lovely grins on their faces. "Well they say that Uzumaki always have a knack for being at the right place at the right time. This was one of those times. It's good to see you sochi. Thanks for the lift," Kushina said with smile while Naruto nodded. Yura and Risa stepped into the portal while Kushina turned to her son.

"So how was Kiri?" she asked and Naruto turned to her. "If you think I'm going to be learning politics anytime soon then you've got a lot of work ahead of you Kaa-chan. Let's just leave it at that," Naruto said and this awarded him a melodious snicker from Kushina before she leaned up and kissed Naruto on his cheek. The blonde blushed at the feeling of affection before a light smile came on his face as he grabbed his mother's shoulder then pushed his lips to hers. Kushina widened her eyes to the sudden embrace before she moaned and closed her eyes with a sigh. It felt like a while that she felt her son's arms around her body and the feeling was well worth it. She felt so warm from her son.

"Well we'll have plenty of time to correct that politics thing later. Now then, let's go," Kushina said as she stepped through the portal and so did Naruto notung that she quickly got over that kiss which sort of seemed funny to him. The purple object then quickly closed leaving no traces that it was ever there to the human eyes.

Uzushiogakure

Haku was humming to herself out in the fields collecting some herbs. Since arriving back home, Mikoto had given them a rundown of all the things that had happened on their trip. The most surprising was that the Tobi had managed to find his way to them and even that he seemed to have gotten stronger than Mikoto cared to admit. Naturally Haku had seen that this news had affected Rin much more than some anticipated. No one knew exactly what to do, but they all knew that Tobi was one the Shinigami's list and they doubted that they could try to argue against the Death God. Not like they wanted to anyway, but that was a discussion that Naruto needed to be in one so everyone was currently waiting for the blond to arrive from his mission to Kiri. The only reason being that they knew about that was because they heard some citizens from Kiri talk about the blond going to Kiri the same time they had left to live the simple life on Uzushio. It was...peaceful.

Haku quickly sensed a presence and jumped back quickly taking out three senbon between the creases in her fingers. She widened her eyes as she noticed the Jikūyugami in front of her while seven people stepped out. Haku blinked as Naruto landed to the ground. Right behind him came Kushina, Yukimaru, Yura, Yuri, Fuka, and Risa, in that order. The Jikūyugami closed and Naruto smiled. "Yo Haku-chan. What are you doing out here?" Naruto asked snapped Haku from her thoughts.

"T-That's a question I should be asking you Shikyō-sama," Haku said noting that Naruto looked just a little taller from the time that she had seen him last while Naruto looked out and noticed the bright lights that were way past the Uzushiogakure compound houses. Kushina and the others saw those lights also and Kushina turned to look at Haku for an explanation. "Umm...civilians moved in?" Haku asked with uncertainty in her voice while Kushina sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"When...did that happen?' Yukimaru asked while Haku scratched her cheek. "Umm a week or two ago before you all left. Kushina-san and I were discussing it. I just...decided to let it happen. I'm sorry if I did something wrong," Haku said and Kushina slumped her shoulders. It was late. There was no need to be worrying about all of this right now.

"Forget it. We'll deal with that another time. Who else is here at the houses?" Kushina asked and Haku blinked. "Umm Zabuza-sama and Rin-san are still here. Mikoto-san, Sasuke-san, Yuna-san and their team came back just over a few hours ago. Zabuza-sama has...placed Itachi-san's body in Mikoto-san's room," Haku spoke while Naruto folded his arms. Everyone glanced to him while Naruto held his head down. He still didn't have a plan of action as concerning Itachi's own payment, but he had a week to figure it out. He hoped he would come up with something in that time.

"Alright then, let's go back to the house!" Naruto said and everyone nodded their heads as they followed him back.

Thankfully the walk back wasn't long at all as everyone quickly came into the main house where most of the members congregated. Opening the sliding door drew everyone's attention as they noticed Naruto come through. "Shikyō-sama!" Yuna said surprised while Sasuke gave a snorted chuckle. Mikoto smiled as the others came through the door as well. "Well if this isn't a surprise," Mikoto said while Kushina and Risa appeared along with Yura, Yuri, Yukimaru and Haku right behind them.

"Dobe," Sasuke said in acknowledgement while Naruto's eyebrow twitched. "Teme," Naruto acknowledged back while Yuna, Kushina and Mikoto sighed. Those two would never get over that if they could help it.

Entering and deciding to get it over with, Naruto turned to Mikoto and gave her a nod. "So where is Itachi?" Naruto asked as Yuna and Sasuke stiffened. They nodded and Yuna bumped Sasuke's shoulder. The young Uchiha grumbled to himself and stood to his feet. Sasuke growled and gritted his teeth getting everyone confused before he bowed to Naruto. "Please revive Uchiha Itachi Naruto. I need answers and he's the only one who can provide them," Sasuke said through gritted teeth. Yuna sweatdropped, but she had to give Sasuke and A for effort as did the others.

Naruto looked at Sasuke for a few minutes before chuckling. Much to Sasuke's surprise, the blond patted his shoulder and walked past him. "Come on Sasuke. Let's go see what 'answers' you can be satisfied with from Itachi," Naruto said and Sasuke widened his eyes. He saw Naruto pass him with Mikoto escorting Naruto to her room. Sasuke followed after him as did Yuna. Suigetsu and Juugo watched him go off, but Karin was much more interested so she got up and followed. Zabuza just watched them go with a complacent look on his face.

Mikoto opened the door to her room and Naruto walked inside and had only one word for it. Clean, very, very clean. It was of course clean because Kushina told Naruto that Mikoto was sometimes a neat freak and never knew how much was too much. However he didn't mind that. He kept his room clean as well. Not as clean as this, but he didn't slack in it.

Flickering on the light switch, thanks to Mikoto, Naruto turned his head slightly and noticed Itachi's body laying on the soft bed. His eyes closed, body still just as the hours that Zabuza had left him. Naruto walked over Uchiha Itachi and chuckled. He found the irony of it all. Back when he was a kid, this was the man who had caused so many problems for not only himself but for Sasuke as well. The never one reason why he had to get stronger and why Sasuke left the village. Now he was about to save his life and give him a new one. Naruto didn't know what to think about this.

Itachi looked at Naruto from where he was floating and bowed his head. "I'm not worth the effort Shikyō-sama, but if there is even a small chance that I can be of help to you as well as apologize properly then I will do that," Itachi said looking down while Naruto touched Itachi's cheek. "He's cold. Well considering how long its been then I suppose that's accurate," Naruto thought to himself and quickly unsealed his sword. Much to everyone's surprise he quickly stabbed Itachi's chest. Sasuke was ready to shout at Naruto, but Yuna steadied his hand while Sasuke looked back anxiously.

"Uchiha Itachi, son of Uchiha Mikoto, and brother of Uchiha Sasuke. I am your Shikyō By the power granted to me through the Shinigami I give you life. Never waste it and except it. Open your eyes!" Naruto said and everyone noticed Itachi's body encased in a white fire while Itachi himself felt his entire being forcefully pulled into his body. There wasn't rejection like last time. Only genuine acceptance as he felt his chakra network replaced. His chakra coils enlarged ever so slightly. If once was a Hyuuga then they could see Itachi's network color was no longer blue like normal people's, but pure white like an eternal flame that resonated inside his body. The fire didn't burn, but it was warm. Everyone felt it, but they knew it wasn't dangerous.

The flames faded and far away the Shinigami felt power leave his body that was transferred to Naruto's. He looked out into the distance and narrowed his eyes. "One person per every revived person. Remember that Shikyō," Shin said while Naruto and everyone else noticed Itachi lay still. Mikoto and Sasuke looked over Naruto's shoulder at Itachi's still body. Mikoto then smiled while Sasuke narrowed his eyes when they noticed Itachi open his own eyes to the ceiling. Out of his blurry perspective he noticed Mikoto and Sasuke looking down at him. "Kaa...san. Sas...uke," Itachi said and Mikoto smiled before she lunged for Itachi and grabbed him into a hug. Itachi slowly turned his head to her and he noticed her tears slowly rung along the side of his cheek.

Naruto smirked and then stepped back while Sasuke glared at his brother. Itachi turned to him and his vision cleared giving him the full view of everyone in the room. "Thank you...Shikyō-sama," Itachi said while Naruto blinked. The blond then scratched his cheek before waving it off. "Come on guys. We'll leave these four alone right now," Naruto said as he pushed everyone out of the room leaving Yuna, Sasuke, and Mikoto with Itachi.

As they exited, Naruto sat on the couch with Kushina, Yura and Yuri. "So what now? He's obviously not going back to Konoha with us. The Uchiha are barely considered a clan with Sasuke, Yuna, Mikoto, and Itachi now. The best I can think is for Itachi to relax for a bit then train at his leisure. It could give Zabuza some fun," Naruto said turning to the swordsman. Said former Demon of the Mist snorted from where he was sleeping before turning over to get more comfortable.

"I don't know, but we'll have to discuss that later. For right now, Haku when did all...this happen?" Kushina asked seriously and Haku nodded knowing what she was talking about. "Well as I said it happened about a week or two ago. Most of the people in Wave where we docked our boats always saw us coming and going from the same place. I take it most were curious about why Tazuna-san sent you that scroll stating about the rumors of Uzushio and you told him when the whirlpools were the weakest when they could fish and trade, those things like that. The entire country took to that and nearly all fishermen sailed out to here. The island isn't owned by Konoha so they didn't see a reason to not come. They found Zabuza-sama and myself along with Rin-san. We told them that...the Uzumaki clan were the holders of the island and they allowed use. So the people build shops, businesses, and other things. They asked us for permission so I was busy looking over documents and the like. They are separated from us by about a mile of land. The same thing came with Kiri civilians looking for trade," Haku explained and Kushina leaned back.

"That's going to be tough to explain, but you are right. We can't really deny them access to the island because it isn't owned by anyone, or...at least it wasn't until you named us as the holders. This is going to spread out. I can see too much more than we've seen," Kushina said while Naruto placed a finger to his chin.

"Right now as a whole Hinoken has enough money from the bingo book, our missions, and this island's revenue to bring us to the sight of being a small village. Kaa-chan, I don't really see any harm in it. We'll just have to be more careful about our activities," Naruto said and while Kushina was reluctant to agree with that sort of logic, she couldn't find the room to complain about it.

"So...we're a village?" Yuri asked tilting her head to the side. "In the eyes of the world yes and no. As far as the world is concerned this is just a tourist attraction made to bring in money. However if they realize...no, when they realize that this is held by the Uzumaki clan then we really will be considered a village and the Daimyo is going to want to see us to bring us to an agreement and too many other complications will be happening," Kushina said with a tired sigh.

"Well we'll just have to handle it all one at a time. My only worry here is how is Konoha going to take us making something like this. Most are already on edge with Foxy here for his status. What do you think we should do?" Fuka asked and everyone glanced to each other.

"Well if we manage them then that would be fine! I managed for Orochimaru before he died and I left. I'm sure I could keep a few civilians in line," Karin said with a tired grin. They turned to her and Naruto looked up at the ceiling.

"Then that's what we'll have to do otherwise we're not really going to work out that well. Nice save Karin-chan!" Naruto said with a thumbs up while Karin stiffened and looked away fast not allowing Naruto to see the small blush that stained her cheeks. "Y-Yeah, sure," she said and everyone heard walking in the halls. They all noticed Itachi come out of the halls in some of Sasuke's spare clothes with said younger brother, Yuna and Mikoto right behind him.

No one said anything as they watched Itachi sit in a chair. It was kind of tense and no one knew what to say to him. Itachi could read the atmosphere and tell that everyone was uncomfortable with him around. He didn't fault them for that. In fact he just seemed to understand why they were this way. So Itachi folded his arms and leaned forward into the chair. "Kaa-san told me about everything and Konoha's decision. I find it more appropriate that way, but this night I will...answer any and all questions that anyone has for me to the best of my ability," Itachi said suddenly. Everyone turned to each other.

"Well this question is for both you and Mikoto since Sasuke was old enough to know and Yuna was...in the other realm. Where were the Uchiha during the Kyuubi attack?" Kushina asked suddenly while Mikoto seemed confused. Itachi took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He turned to Naruto and the blond's eyes told him to speak the truth. However Itachi also realized that Naruto's eyes casted a technique and Itachi knew that what was going to come out of his mouth was the truth. Naruto had that much control over the spirit realm. He could force anyone of them to tell the truth. A frightening thought, Itachi figured.

"That I cannot answer Kushina-san because I don't know where we went. I was blindfolded and since I had Sasuke with me the night of the Kyuubi attack then I wasn't allowed access along with the other young Uchiha," Itachi spoke honestly. "He's telling the truth," Naruto said causing everyone to glance to him.

"How do you know that Nii-san?" Yuri asked while Naruto turned to her. "It's one of my earlier gifts from Shin. I can force a spirit or revived person to tell me the truth and they will comply with it. Whether or not they want to, but thankfully I didn't have to do that. Itachi knows I could, but I'm doing a 'benefit of the doubt' thing. Ero-sennin taught me how to differentiate lies between comrades and foes," Naruto explained while everyone stopped their exasperated breaths and turned back to Itachi who seemed just a little surprised that Naruto didn't assert his authority as his Shikyō over him. He figured that while this Naruto was different, like vastly different from the one he met those years ago, Naruto was still a person that didn't like exerting force on someone if it wasn't needed. Something Itachi greatly admired about the blond as he found that to be a trait in all of the former Hokage from Shodaime to Yondaime. Godaime was, if he had to be blunt, not that way and had more than a little irresponsible temper.

"Hai Shikyō-sama. I shall continue then," Itachi said before Mikoto patted his shoulder. "Wait, I think I can at least answer that question. It's the least I can do for what Naruto has done for my family," Mikoto said, not using the regular Shikyō-suffix since she knew how much Naruto never really cared for it, getting Itachi to turn to her. Sasuke and Yuna raised their eyebrows at the sudden willingness from Mikoto, but none commented on it. Also since everyone was in the living room, Zabuza had decided to stay awake and listen while pretending to sleep. Suigetsu, Juugo, and Karin were listening as well, but Karin was listening with more intent that the others.

"Those sixteen years, Fugaku and the male Uchiha...left the village. Only the women were there. We had seen the Kyuubi attacking the village. Myself along with the others moved to help with the efforts, but we...couldn't leave. For some reason an advanced fuinjutsu kept us from leaving the compound. We weren't sure, but none of us could break it. We tried to find the source of the barrier to let us leave, but all we noticed was a set of three lone anbu. We asked them what they were doing, but they never spoke to us at all. I had wondered where Itachi went, but all I found was Sasuke sleeping in his cradle with Itachi gone. We tried relentlessly to get out, but we never succeeded and could only watch as Kyuubi rampaged through the village, but we also noticed that it was under a genjutsu. None of us were expert sealing users so we weren't nearly strong enough to do something like break it down. However I still remember those anbu. They weren't big at all. No they were about five years ahead of Itachi's age and then some. They kept us there for the duration," Mikoto said and everyone watched as Naruto growled and stabbed the ground with his sword.

"Uchiha Fugaku, husband of Mikoto, Father of Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke, present yourself!" Naruto ordered and instantly Fugaku appeared before Naruto with his head bowed. When Fugaku stared up he noted Naruto's heated glare down at him. The old Uchiha grimaced, but he tried to remain as stoic as possible. Once Fugaku found out that Naruto was the Shinigami's summoner...well let's just say that the Uchiha was NOT happy about that. All the power over life and death was granted to a Uzumaki. A Uzumaki! Power that should have been the Uchiha clan's by right!

"How might I serve you...Shikyō-sama?" Fugaku said through gritted teeth and anger before he noticed Naruto touch his forehead. To everyone else Naruto was just touching air before they slowly saw the form of Fugaku Uchiha come into view. Sasuke widened his eyes and so did Mikoto and Yuna, however most could see Yuna's intense dislike of the Uchiha clan head. Itachi tried to remain stoic, but seeing his father right in front of him was concerning.

Fugaku stood to his feet taking note of Sasuke's older appearance as well as Itachi's. Fugaku then urned to Mikoto and both locked eyes with each other. They seemed to be having an internal struggle before they broke their stares. Fugaku then noticed Kushina and gave a short curse. "So she was revived also. Dammit," Fugaku thought to himself. He then noticed Yuna. He could see Yuna's complete disapproval of not just him, but the entire clan.

"Tell us where you and the Uchiha were during the Kyuubi attack," Naruto spoke dangerously. Fugaku snarled and balled his fists while Mikoto frowned. "Tou-san, answer Naruto now!" Sasuke spoke and Fugaku turned to his son.

"The years I've been gone have done little to temper your tongue Sasuke. I'm still your father and you will be silent," Fugaku commanded out while Sasuke snarled. Obviously his father didn't get the memo that the younger Uchiha wasn't someone who was going to be pushed around and belittled like he was earlier. So many times Sasuke tried things to get his father's approval and the best was when he mastered the fireball technique. That was the only outside praise that he ever got.

"I see you brought back a traitor. Mikoto, you were always too soft to do what was needed," Fugaku said while Mikoto huffed. Itachi narrowed his eyes while Yuna's frown deepened. "How dare you say that to Sasuke!" Yuna snarled while Fugaku glanced to her.

"I don't want to her the words of one such as yourself. To die at the hands of Iwa shinobi. Pathetic," Fugaku said and everyone nodded a KI rise and they shifted towards Naruto. "Uchiha Fugaku, you will be silent. You will tell us right now what you were doing," Naruto said trying to get past the issue.

"So many years and you think you have the complete right to demand anything from me. To me you are still the same brat who played his pranks on the village, annoying everyone around him. Course the only thing you were good at was keeping the Kyuubi con...," Fugaku's eyes widened before the life in them faded and he stood motionless. His hands fell to his side while Naruto scratched his head.

"It's official Kyuubi. You were right. Nearly all Uchiha are fuckin' pricks!" Naruto said and Kyuubi folded his arms. "Hn, I already knew that for a damn fact. I'd say sacrifice him to the damn Shinigami, but even I'd like to know this little tidbit of information," Kyuubi said with a half-opened eye.

Meanwhile everyone else was taking Fugaku into account. Itachi had said nothing, but the disapproval of his father was etched into his features. Mikoto just seemed to not care in the slightest. Yuna had stormed to the refrigerator to get a bottle of water. Whether it was to cool her rising anger or splash it in Fugaku's face had yet to be seen. Sasuke was...stable if Naruto gave it a word. His nails were buried into his hands as those hands strained against each other. Was his father always that annoying as he remembered?

"Alright is...everyone settled now?" Naruto asked as irritatedly. Itachi, Sasuke and Mikoto nodded while Yuna seemed severely unhappy, but she nodded also taking a large gulp of water from her water bottle. "Wow that guy's nearly as much of a prick as Kabuto. No wonder you guys are how you are," Suigetsu said with a light chuckle getting a growl from the others.

"Suigetsu...shut up," Karin said not even angrily, just with an annoyed expression on her face. Naruto nodded his thanks to Karin before turning back. "Now answer the question Fugaku," Naruto said and Fugaku just bowed.

"Hai, there was a meeting of myself and the Uchiha elders. We came together because of a scroll that had been delivered to us. A scroll that told us of the future that could be possible. The Uchiha ways that the Uchiha could take over Konoha. Bring the clan head, and those to come after him to power of the Hokage position. The times of peace made this village weak and lenient. Deciding to look for this man who sent us this letter, myself and three others went in search of him, but we never found him. It unsettled us, but another week later before the Kyuubi incident he told us that if we wished to meet him then only I would be the one to see him. The elders agreed and so did I. So when Mikoto was sleeping I left the village and went for the location and that's when I saw him. I saw Uchiha Madara standing before me," Fugaku said and paused for a breath letting everyone take this in. They glanced to Naruto and the blond snarled. Was it Obito again? Obito had to be Kakashi's age if he was able to attack the village like he did. None of this was making any sense. The more Naruto heard about him the more Naruto was doubting that he wouldn't give Obito to Shin despite what Rin and Kakashi wanted.

Speaking of her, Naruto turned and noticed Rin trembling from where she was sitting. Haku allowed a bead of sweat to fall from her delicate face while Zabuza snorted to himself. "Isn't that guy supposed to be fuckin' dead?" Zabuza asked.

"He was, and still is! Unfortunately I can't perfectly call on everyone like I want. It seems that it takes a bit more control and force to call for an S-rank shinobi. That's one of the reasons why I can't find anyone that easily. There are just too many people dead to try and believe me I've tried," Naruto said with a tired sigh.

"I'm interested in the sealing jutsu that Mikoto-san said had her trapped. What do you think it was?" Fuka asked and Mikoto stood up. "I remember the formula, but not how to break it. I can write it down for you at any given moment," Mikoto said getting nods from everyone else.

"Well think about that later. Anyway, Fugaku continue," Naruto ordered and Fugaku bowed once again. "After meeting with Uchiha Madara, I saw fit to agree with his plan of action. So I returned and relayed that information to the elders. We were all in agreement so that following week we...disposed of the sealing team for Konoha's structural barrier allowing for him to arrive undetected and start the Kyuubi incident. We kept a select few women trapped at the compound courtesy of Danzo because they did not, and would not, see the full picture of our ambition. We blindfolded my son and took him with us. Itachi was unaware because of the sounds of fighting, but he had been in the direct center. I did this to get him used to the sounds of fighting to grow him into the type of Uchiha would could lead this clan to greatness, but Itachi grew too washy. Not to mention there was also another problem. Uchiha Yuna, she was too close to Itachi as well as Uchiha Shisui so in her career one of us placed a genjutsu over the mission collectors. That she and her team be given...a mission to Iwa," Fugaku said and Yuna widened her eyes.

"You...you son of a bitch!" Yuna shouted as she lunged for Fugaku, but she passed through him effortlessly and punched the wall. Sasuke gasped while Itachi frowned, but Fugaku continued on. "So I settled for making Sasuke as powerful as I could. When he learned the Uchiha Clan's rite of passage then I knew he was on the trek to continue our plans," Fugaku said while Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"What's the Uchiha Clan's rite of passage?" Naruto asked and Sasuke snarled. "A boy is deemed a man when he has learned the Grand Fireball Technique in view of someone else from the clan," the Uchiha answered and Naruto nodded while Fugaku continued on.

"With our plan came the ultimate sacrifice. We...faked the planning of a coup. As we suspected Itachi had known about it, but we feigned ignorance. Just like we wanted, Itachi tasked himself with the destruction of our clan when he told the Sandaime. He killed everyone that night. Mikoto and I went willingly and we were sure that Itachi would want Sasuke to avenge our clan through hatred. That's what we wanted. Then Itachi would join Akatsuki while Sasuke's hatred grew more and more. He would kill Itachi as the ruler of the clan. After that he would rebuild it with whomever he wanted, continue to train, take the Hokage position and bring the Uchiha name glory and power for untold generations. All Uchiha Madara wanted was one thing out of this. He wanted the Kyuubi. We had no desire for it, but once we learned who the Kyuubi jinchuuriki was then we fought vigorously to bring him under our influence, but the Sandaime dodged our attempts left and right. We could do nothing, but then we had an idea. He'd might not come to us, but that didn't mean that he couldn't...hate the village like we wanted him to," Fugaku said while Sasuke widened his eyes. Itachi did the same while Mikoto gasped. The room was silent and Naruto was stunned.

"Y-You didn't! You wouldn't! You released rumors of Nii-sama's status to the village! The Sandaime made those rumors a reality by confirming it to everyone else causing his life to become pariah!" Yura shouted standing to her feet. Fugaku just nodded not speaking while Kushina fell back in shock and the same could be said for Itachi. "This was planned? Everything? The coup was a...fake?" Itachi asked and Fugaku nodded.

"What about all those meetings? Those investigations into my suspicious activities?! Even me ending Uchiha Shisui," Itachi said to Fugaku's back, but the man answered anyway. "Uchiha Shisui, he was a problem as well. So we struck a deal with Shimura Danzo. He could take one of Uchiha Shisui's eyes and he would find a way to bring the Kyuubi jinchuuriki to us. We suspected that he would confide in Itachi and then he would give the other eye to him and ask for Itachi to kill him to get things started. We knew you weren't with us because we did things to make sure that you wouldn't be. Those meeting were just reports on how well you were deceived. It worked out perfectly. However we did not expect for Sasuke to leave the village nor for Shikyō-sama to even have a contract with the Shinigami. However anything and everything before that went according to how we wanted it. Uchiha Madara still wants the Kyuubi. He will not stop in acquiring it. He will kill all of you for getting in his way. He'll also make you watch Shikyō-sama. You will watch as your family dies one after the other while you can't do anything except...,"

"Get out of my sight," Naruto said lowly trembling. Fugaku's eyes regained their life and he looked around to see that the information had been let out to everyone. "It is for the glory of the Uchiha clan that we did this. I have no regrets," Fugaku said while Sasuke dropped to his knees and stared at the floor in shock.

"I said leave before I sacrifice you right now!" Naruto shouted and Fugaku just bowed before he faded out of sight. "KUSO!" Naruto shouted and punched the wall where Fugaku had been standing.

"Sochi, please calm down," Kushina said wrapping her arms around Naruto while the blonde growled while Yuna went over to Sasuke. "Sasuke are you alright?" Yuna asked worriedly while Sasuke growled.

"Alright? Alright?! How can I be alright? Everything I've known has been a lie!" Sasuke standing to his feet. He turned to Itachi and he noticed Itachi looking at the ground with a face full of regret. Fuka frowned and so did Yukimaru, Yuri and Yura. "It's my fault," everyone turned to Itachi and they saw him with his eyes closed.

"Everything I did. It didn't surprise any of them. No wonder when Kaa-san and Tou-san found out I was the traitor they weren't surprised. I did nothing that made it different," Itachi said and Mikoto went down to hug her eldest son. "No Itachi, it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself," Mikoto said and then she pulled Sasuke and Yuna into the hug as well. None of them said anything in that time while Naruto growled. He could feel his anger rising yet dropping in frustration to his mother's arms. He could hear Kushina labored breathing and realized that she was sniffling. Not for herself, but for his own sake. Naruto then twitched when he felt Risa hug him, then came Fuka, Karin, Yuri, Yura and Yukimaru. Haku and Zabuza just stayed silent, but Zabuza did have a thought.

"That is some of the most twisted shit I've never heard," he thought to himself. Rin shook her head then held it down. Juugo and Suigetsu glanced to each other, but didn't say anything.

The sounds of the faucet dripping water was the only sound heard by anyone. Suigetsu grumbled before he stood to his feet from the table and turned the knob stopping it. "Alright look guys. The asshole's gone. It's late and I don't know about you, but I'm tired. You guys can think about it later. Goodnight," Suigetsu said and walked towards the door. He opened it and went to his house in the compound. Juugo slowly followed him before bowing to the others then left.

"Come on Sasuke, Yuna, Itachi. Let's go to bed. We'll sort it all out later," Mikoto said pulling Sasuke and Itachi to their feet. Yuna grabbed Sasuke's arm and led them to their rooms while Haku, Zabuza and Rin left as well. This left only the Uzumaki clan members.

"Sochi come on. Let's all go to bed," Kushina said and Naruto didn't even give her a nod. He just allowed her to pull his arm in the direction of the rooms they all stayed in. Naruto would catalog that as one of the most stressful sleeps he would ever have in his life, or possible afterlife.

However no one noticed a long figure in the tree branches outside of the compound looking over the family before they disappeared with the night not having their presence known.

Somewhere, with Akatsuki

"Wow so even Itachi-san has bitten the dust has he? Can't say that I'm surprised. But by Uchiha Sasuke no less. So where is the young boy? I haven't seen him in the bases," Kisame said with a chuckle of his lips while Tobi folded his arms. With Deidara, Hidan, Kakuzu, and Sasori gone then there was no need to keep up that stupid persona anymore.

"He's not here. He's still with Konoha. I couldn't get to him because I've run into an unexpected element. Uzumaki Naruto," Tobi said while Pain and Konan raised their eyebrows. "What is the problem?" Pain asked and Tobi folded his arms.

"Uchiha Mikoto, she seemed adamant to take Itachi's body even when he was dead. Of course he is here son so she would care, but I could see the hope in her eyes. She...felt that Itachi was going to come back into her arms and tell her something. I can't explain it, but this centers around Uzumaki Naruto. First his mother, then Uchiha Sasuke's mother, his brother, Uchiha Shisui's older sister, the Ichibi jinchuuriki somehow reviving extraction though that's impossible. In most of my plans he's put a thorn in my side being this way," Tobi said while Kisame chuckled.

"If it makes you think about it, it seems that the Shinigami has favor with Kyuubi jinchuuriki-san," Kisame said while Zetsu twitched. Tobi did the same as well. "Has favor with the Shinigami? Yes...that's exactly what he has. Clever Uzumaki Naruto. You are more interesting than I gave you credit for. It's either that or Uzumaki has come up with...a perfect Edo Tensei," Tobi thought to himself and his sharingan eye narrowed while a small grin appeared on his face behind his mask. Yes, how could Tobi have been so foolish as to not see it? While the Shinigami might not have had favor with Naruto, the blonde was known for being unpredictable. It made sense, why he spoke of Rin, how he brought the others back. Why they didn't look like usual when Tobi had seen the Edo Tensei. It was a perfect, and completed, Edo Tensei.

"So should we go after the Kyuubi now?" Konan asked while Pain turned to her. "Not before the other half of the Sanbi. Konan go on that yourself. A fifteen-year old should give you no trouble," Pain said and Konan nodded with a bow of her head before she quickly left.

"And myself?" Kisame asked. "You will handle the Hachibi. We're in the final phases. Don't get careless," Pain said and faded out while the others did the same which left Tobi alone.

"Uzumaki Naruto. It will be a pleasure to see the life in your eyes fade when I kill you," Tobi said and then warped away.

Next Morning, Konoha

Tsunade was busy signing papers with a sigh of her lips. Right in front of her was Naruto giving her the scroll for the treaty with Kiri and while that had been great and all she still seemed troubled by Naruto's silence. The blonde stepped back while Tsunade examined the scroll's contents. "So I take it that the mission was successful?" Tsunade asked and Naruto nodded though Tsunade could tell that it was half-hearted at best.

"Yeah I got everything out of the way. Yukimaru and Yuri got some valuable experience out of the whole thing so I'm glad for that," Naruto aid rubbing his eyes while Shizune appeared concerned. "Naruto, have you been getting enough sleep?" Shizune asked and Naruto turned to her.

"Just a...rough night Shizune-chan. I'll see you later," Naruto said spinning on his heel and walking towards the door. He reached his hand for the knock and it turned, but it wasn't because of him. "Excuse me,' Naruto heard the sounds of a familiar voice. He noticed Sakura come from behind the door and the two shared a look.

Once they locked, the look in Sakura's eyes changed and Naruto wasn't sure, but he suddenly saw something that he hadn't seen from Sakura before. In those glowing emerald eyes of hers, there was the small amounts, but still noticeable, traces of hatred. Naruto wasn't sure where exactly this came from as he never felt Sakura could really be angry with him. Now anger and hatred were different things. "Sakura," Naruto said professionally while Sakura gave him a smile. To anyone normal it wasn't a change, but for Naruto it was fake and as different from her usual smiles as night and day.

"Naruto," Sakura returned before passing him through the door. Naruto looked back for a second before continuing on his way out of the door and through the halls while Sakura began to read off some mission reports. Known to them both, Shizune and Tsunade had seen the action and both couldn't help, but feel concerned about the entire ordeal.

However, Naruto had left quickly from the mansion and crossed the streets to enter into his home. He noticed that Komachi, Tayuya, and Guren were by themselves talking before they noticed Naruto coming through the door. They each took a look at their blond Uzumaki clansmen and Naruto gave them a tired smile. "Yo Komachi-chan, Tomato-chan, Guren-neechan," Naruto said with a light wave.

"Naruto, are you okay?" Guren asked and Naruto yawned. "Just fine. A little tired is all. I'll be fine if I can just get some more sleep that's all. I just came to get the three of you and take you to Uzushio. We have to talk about some things with the clan and I want to plan out our next plan of action," Naruto said while the three nodded. They stood to their feet while Naruto opened the portal. They walked through it and Naruto quickly closed it right back up allowing for it to vanish out of sight from the people.

Uzushiogakure

Naruto, Tayuya, Guren and Komachi stepped out of the portal and dropped to the ground. Once they did they noticed the tense mood. Tayuya could see everyone sitting trying to sort out their feelings of what they heard last night. Itachi was silently drinking some tea while the sounds of sword hitting tree could be heard outside. Guren looked out and noticed that it was Sasuke. Yuna was off to the side watching her cousin/lover let out his frustrations on the vegetation of Uzushiogakure. Mikoto and Kushina were sitting at the tables just thinking together. Risa was sitting on the couch with Fuka, hands in their laps, not talking. Haku and Zabuza had gone out to buy supplies and Karin locked herself in her study of Naruto's seal. Yuri, Yukimaru and Yura were trying to read some fuinjutsu material, but it was hard to do so.

"Whoa, what happened? Why is everyone so fuckin' pissed off?" Tayuya asked and Risa was in too much thought to correct her daughter in her language. "I have to agree with Tayuya. What's the problem?" Guren asked while Komachi stayed silent. Naruto sat into a chair and gestured for them to do the same which they did.

It was another uncomfortable hour, but Naruto told them all the things that they had learned last night and needless to say, but Tayuya was floored as was Guren. Komachi didn't give a visible reaction of hatred or any other emotion, but she did in fact feel it. She felt greatly angry with the Uchiha clan save those here.

Once Naruto was finished, Tayuya balled her fists and stood to her feet. "And you didn't fuckin' give the guy away to your damn summon? The fact that he toyed with nearly all of us is bullshit!" Tayuya said while Naruto frowned.

"Trust me I wanted to, but it didn't feel right. He's already dead. I won't give him the satisfaction of going to Shin knowing that he played all of like we were damn instruments!" Naruto snarled out and that seemed to set off an entire chain of reactions. "Uchiha Madara, I'll make him pay!" Sasuke said through gritted teeth.

"Sasuke, I share in your sentiments, but we can't just go looking for him. If what Shikyō-sama is telling us then he's still dead. That means that you believe this other Uchiha is Obito, Kakashi's other teammate," Itachi said while Sasuke growled.

"That shit still doesn't explain how the bastard got as strong as Naruto's father. The guy was a Kage. How could he become a Kage-level shinobi that fast? Not to mention controlling the Kyuubi which wasn't even possible until Uchiha Madara," Sasuke said and no one knew how to answer that.

"Mikoto-chan wrote for me the seal stopped the Uchiha females from leaving the compound. I analyzed it and it was a good thing that only your weapons touched it," Kushina said and Mikoto looked up from the table. "What do you mean?" She asked and everyone was listening also.

"I mean that it was similar to the barrier jutsu that Tayuya and her former teammates used when they assaulted the village during the Suna-Oto Invasion of Konoha. If you had touched it then instead of being burned alive and left to die you would have had your soul sealed into the places that the seal was placed. You would literally be a shell of your former self, never to see the light of day ever again," Kushina said ominously while Mikoto swallowed the lump in her throat.

"Seems Tou-san didn't want woman with sharingan being able to override Obito's control of the Kyuubi while it laid waste to the village while he and the other men took care of the barrier division," Itachi theorized. Everyone else gave a contemplated look.

"Itachi isn't that like you Totsuka Blade that you had for that...Susanoo?" Sasuke asked and Itachi turned to his brother and placed his hands together. "In a sense it is Sasuke. I used it to seal away Orochimaru's remaining power over you keeping you free from the curse mark, but this is slightly different. It would take at least three people for it to work which is probably the reason why Kaa-san said that she saw those people," Itachi spoke and Sasuke nodded.

"Could...I have been one of those people?" Everyone turned to Komachi who was looking at them all sternly, but they could sort of see the worry etched into her eyes. "No I don't believe that Komachi-san. I doubt you were involved in it so to speak," Mikoto said and Komachi allowed her shoulders to slump slightly.

"Does it matter? In the end we all got played like fools by him. I knew there was a reason why I hated him," Yuna said with a growl before forcing herself to think other thoughts.

"Well that's beside the point now. So what are we going to do?" Fuka asked and everyone was silent. No one could say anything to anyone else. They all really just wanted to rid themselves of all of this.

"Itachi, what can you tell us of Akatsuki?" Naruto asked and Itachi suddenly twitched. "Hey that's right. They're the group hunting me, Nii-chan, and Bee-san right? Why are they doing that anyway?" Yuri asked and Itachi closed his eyes for a second.

"Believe it or not, but it's to create peace," Itachi said and everyone just stopped. No seriously, they stopped everything. They all looked at Itachi in surprise. "Bullshit they're trying to create peace!" Tayuya snarled out, but Itachi nodded disproving her tantrum.

"Everyone refers to the leader as Leader-sama or his name respectfully, Pain-sama. There isn't much to know about him, but he's our leader as far as I know. The idea is that the bijuu will be collected together and then turned into the ultimate weapon. Akatsuki will sell the weapon during wars killing millions and over time people will come to fear it and will stop fighting bringing peace. He claims that he's...a god," Itachi said and everyone raised their eyebrow.

"You sure he wasn't high or something when he said that?" Tayuya asked curiously and despite the situation that got a chuckle out of everyone. "Well either way Kyuubi says that this guy's plan is stupid and he knows nothing of the Sage of Six Paths Legend," Naruto said and everyone turned to him.

"You and Kyuubi have a relationship?" Itachi asked curiously and Naruto shrugged his shoulders. "As best as I can probably have with the furball. Plus he's saying that these guys are tampering with something much out of their control," Naruto said and like she knew what he was talking about, Yuri nodded also.

"That's what Sanbi is telling me also. It's saying that their goal will be something to break the world apart and send it into the brink of chaos," Yuri said and everyone stiffened. "Why? What do they create when they are brought together.

"They form...the Juubi," Yuri and Naruto said at the same time and everyone turned to each other. "Ten-Tails? How strong would that be?" Komachi asked and Naruto looked up at the ceiling.

"So strong that even Kyuubi by himself wouldn't stand a chance against it. Part of it is because he says that half of his power was sealed, but since being converted into Honshou by me and Shin then he's felt even stronger than when he had the other half of his chakra. However he says that the he pales in comparison to the Juubi as does the rest of Akatsuki in trying to attempt the damnation of the world," Naruto said and everyone shuddered at such a thought.

"That being said, Akatsuki was anxious to retrieve the other half of the Sanbi so they will be going after Yuri-san. With who I don't know, but she will have to work hard," Itachi said and Yuri grinned. "Well that's not a problem. Isobu-chan and I can't be beat when we team-up! I can already go to two-tails without losing myself!" Yuri said proudly. Naruto seemed surprised at her words and turned to her.

"When did you learn his name?" Naruto asked and Yuri smiled. "Oh through a little arguement we had. Not really important, but I got a good friend out of it," Yuri said while Sanbi snorted.

"Good friend she says,"The bijuu thought before closing his eyes.

"What? Since when did you have the time to do that?" Yura asked surprised while Yuri smiled, stood up, and sauntered over to Naruto and laid in his lap. "Well I have just the most amazing teacher in the world. He's also sexy-looking. A definite plus," Yuri said with a thumbs up while Naruto rubbed his head. Yura and Kushina's eyebrows twitched before they pouted while Mikoto and the others chuckled.

Soon everyone was sort of back to their usual moods while Itachi leaned back. "Excluding myself there are five other left. They are Pain-sama, Kisame, Tobi, Konan-san, and Zetsu. Each of them is in a class on their own," Itachi said while Naruto nodded slowly. So did Yuri before Itachi turned to Naruto.

"However there is one thing that I can tell you about Pain," Itachi said and everyone listened intently as they nodded their heads. "He is...an Uzumaki," Itachi spoke and if what they learned last night wasn't enough, that just sent everyone else overboard.

One Day Later, Kumogakure

"Here are those reports on Konoha's information about Akatsuki, but with their numbers dwindling then it also means that they are getting desperate Raikage-sama," Shi said while A frowned. "If that's the case then that means they will be sending out their most powerful members now to capture Bee-sama," Mabui said looking down at the papers.

"Very well Mabui, take these documents to the council room. I'll be there immediately," A said and Mabui bowed. "Hai," Mabui said before she quickly walked off and exited the room leaving Shi and A alone.

"So how is it?" A asked and Shi turned around. "How is what Raikage-sama?" Shi asked though A pretended not to notice the small grin plastered on his jonin's face.

"You know what I'm talking about," A said and Shi nodded his head. "Hai, it's one of the greatest feelings in the world Raikage-sama. I've never had a family like this before. It's refreshing," Shi said and A just nodded his bulky head before waving for Shi to leave. The blond quickly turned on his heel and left closing the door and that's when he noticed Samui, Karui, and Omoi.

"Haven't seen you around for a while," Samui said and Shi just shrugged his shoulders. "I've been busy," Shi said and Samui nodded her head slightly. Shi could see Karui looked just a little meek and quiet today. He wondered what the problem was before Samui cleared her throat.

"We got our tests back today. It's been confirmed. Myself, Omoi, Karui, and Atsui, we're all Uzumaki. It seems that myself and Atsui are strongly related to you and Naruto-san enough to be called cousins. Omoi is a long-distance cousin. Karui she is strongly related to Komachi-san since Komachi-san's blood was taken before she left Kumogakure," Samui said and Shi widened his eyes.

"Normally I thought you guys would be more happy than this," Shi said and everyone glanced to each other. "Well it's not that we're not happy. It's just...what are we supposed to do now? Do we leave for our family and forsake our village? Dwindling the village's numbers and then they're invaded they will kill them all because the five of us weren't there to make a difference while we try to live off happily? Or do we forsake our family driving an even bigger wedge between us causing a family feud that will span for generations to see who was right and who was wrong inevitably laying waste to the very foundation of fuinjutsu practice?" Omoi asked. Samui said nothing and rubbed her shoulders while Karin groaned. She lightly bopped him on the head while Shi shook his own head.

"What are you guys talking about?" Shi asked confused while they glanced to each other. "Well aren't we going to have to leave Kumo?" Karui asked and Shi raised an eyebrow.

"What makes you think that? You think you'd have to leave? I'm still here aren't I? If you're planning on leaving Kumo then you should just do it appropriately, but I'm sure Raikage-sama would understand if it was for family. I honestly find myself hesitating with the decision, but I know that whatever decision I make both my home and my family will respect it. You just need to calm down and think about it," Shi said and Karui looked down with a slight nod of her head.

"We haven't even known about them until just a few weeks ago. We can't act all family-like just based off that. That's stupid! Also why do we have to leave?! Why can't they come to Kumo?" Karui asked and finally Shi found the problem.

"So it's not that you guys are indecisive...you're just selfish," Shi said bluntly getting Karui to widen her eyes. Omoi did the same and Samui raised an eyebrow. "The first thing that you need to learn about our Uzumaki family is that above all else the family comes first and we think about our each individuals wants and needs. Course you haven't seen how we operate so I suppose that's understandable," Shi said while Karui snarled.

"Don't you want them in Kumo?!" Karui asked and Shi sighed as he ran a finger through his hair. "Of course I do, but I know that they would want me in Konoha officially so that I never had to leave them, but they know of my attachment to Kumo so they respect my wishes of still being here. You need to remember that," Shi said to them. Team Samui looked down at the ground before they heard the clatter of footsteps.

"Shi-san, are you ready to go?" they turned to see Fujikaze coming up to them all and Karui widened her eyes. Samui and Omoi were pleasantly surprised also as Karui gaped at the swordsman. "Do you know who you are?!" Karui asked/yelled and Fujikaze blinked.

"Yes I do know of my identity. What is it to you young one?" Fujikaze asked while Karui pointed towards him. "You're supposed to be the swordsman who trained Mifune-sama in the Land of Iron. You were the one who made a standard for kenjutsu wielders and samurai to live under!" Karui said while Fujikaze closed his eyes.

"Mifune huh? I wonder how he's doing these days. However he has his life. I hoped not to intrude, but I couldn't help myself. Young ones, let me ask you a question. What is needed for a swordsman to be at his strongest?" Fujikaze asked. Shi raised an eyebrow at the question, but didn't say anything. There was probably a meaning behind it.

"His sword," Karui said instantly and Fujikaze frowned. He shook his head and Karui remained confused. "His techniques?" Omoi asked and Fujikaze shook his head once again. Naturally those were...technically right answers, but they weren't right in the lesson that he was trying to give to the three.

"His life," Samui answered and Fujikaze gave a light smile, but shook his head once again. "It seems that the three of you don't know this question, but you seem to have potential based on your answers. It's not too late for you. Think about it and you will come to your decision with your family," Fujikaze said, then bowed and walked off with Shi right behind him.

"What kind of question is that?" Karui asked, but Samui only narrowed her eyes in response. Looks like she would really behaving some thinking to do when she was alone. This was a question that would be haunting her for quite a while.

Konohagakure, Underground

Sakura placed some notes on the table while Koharu opened her elderly eyes. "Yes, this is it. More than enough Sakura-san. You have done well," Koharu said while Sakura suddenly nodded with a slight nod of her head.

"What are you two doing down here?" Homura came into the room while Koharu and Sakura turned around. "Oh nothing Homura. Just finishing compiling the last of the articles. It's enough to get started," Koharu said while Sakura sighed.

"I can't believe that Naruto would do something like this. Did he really want to bring Sasuke-kun back so much that he would resort to a kinjutsu to deceive him? What happened to him?" Sakura asked and Koharu patted Sakura's shoulder.

"He desperately wanted to keep his promise to you so he went to extreme means. However there is a line and he had crossed it. Heir or not, he will be held accountable for his actions. I'm sorry Sakura, but for the village it is best if he was...terminated," Koharu said rather sympathetically while Sakura held her head down with a nod of her head though it was very much heavy. Almost too heavy from the shame to lift it up.

"So what are we going to do? Are we talking another Uchiha clan massacre?" Homura asked and Sakura stiffened. "NO! Despite what Naruto has done there are good people in his clan I'm sure. We need them! They haven't done anything wrong!" Sakura said not wanting know of someone else to be the way Sasuke was.

"Calm yourself Sakura. We don't want that. The Uzumaki are much more vital than the Uchiha are for the safety of the village. One Uzumaki is worth at least five Uchiha. However before his is dealt with we'll have to find a container for the Kyuubi to host in," Koharu said and Homura agreed.

"I recommend one of the orphans. It will do well that they have no parents and their loyalty will completely be to the village," Homura said while Koharu agreed.

"Very well. When Uzumaki finishes his business then he will stand trial. I'll bring these documents to Hokage-sama. She's much to lenient with him as it is, but even she won't be able to deny these facts. Let's go Sakura, Homura," Koharu said as they finished collecting documents and walked towards the door. For months Koharu had cross-reference her data and her evidence. She had been patient and she compiled notes. Everything was ready. All she needed was for the Uzumaki clan in its entirety to be put forward.

Uzushiogakure

Naruto was currently by himself training with his sword. Too many thoughts were roaming through his head as he performed the Uzumaki katas that he had learned those two years from his mother. The thoughts of the Akatsuki leader being a Uzumaki sort of shook Naruto up as the blonde wasn't sure how to react to such news. He knew he had to do something about it, but for what he didn't know. He knew that the Uzumaki leader was somewhere near Ame and that Jiraiya was heading back to the village to go and see Tsunade to tell her about what he was planning to do. Now Naruto couldn't even get angry at such a thing. Besides he knew that Jiraiya was strong. Maybe he could handle himself. He seriously hoped that he could. Naruto wanted to go, especially since one of the Akatsuki members was an S-rank who appeared in the bingo book and was sighted near Ame. The woman Konan, but then again Naruto knew next to nothing about here other than the things that Jiraiya told him about her which was that she was gifted with the use of origami-jutsu which Naruto still had a circular thinking about what it was, but that wasn't the only thing on his mind. No, he still needed the payment for Itachi and staying on the island wasn't really helping. Too many thoughts and not enough time training.

However one of the reasons that Naruto was out here was because Shin, late last night, said that he had something of vital importance to speak with Naruto about and Naruto was currently waiting for his summon.

"You seem...uneasy," Naruto shrieked and turned around to see Shin looking down at him with his arms folded and that same demonic stare as usual. His white robe and purple arms were still the same as Naruto remembered them. "How many times have I told you not to do that?!" Naruto growled out while the Shinigami narrowed his eyes.

"Never," The Death God said and Naruto nodded his head too fast to listen to the answer. "That's right. I have told you...never? Really? Never?!" Naruto asked and the Shinigami just looked at him while Naruto looked back. They seemed to be fighting internally over the answer before Naruto slumped his shoulders.

"Never huh?" Naruto said slightly depressed while the Shinigami decided that this was enough. "We're moving along from this Shikyō It is time for you to take on more responsibilities not only towards you summons, but also towards the Spirit realm," Shin said and Naruto titled his head to the side.

"Umm okay and how do I do that?" Naruto asked and the Shinigami pointed one of his demonic hands towards Naruto getting the blonde to narrow his eyes in seriousness. "You will learn the ability that no human has ever learned. In the world there is chakra as you realize, but for spirits there is Honshou. The spiritual half that makes up chakra to encompass the entire body of their being. You will take that ability and form it for yourself. Instead of going into complications then I will tell you that you will physically break. You will be in for a lot of hurt and pain, but it is for this purpose that you must succeed. Your valve must be at your side if you wish to survive. I believe that the terms you humans call it is 'Sage Mode'. You will become the first ever...Sage of Death,"

Land of Demons

A woman's shrieks could be heard across her home as lights in her temple, or mansion, whatever you wanted to call it, flickered on while the sounds of footsteps could be heard before one man quickly opened the door to the woman's room. "Shion-sama, are you okay?" he asked while the young woman named Shion panted as sweat dripped from her face onto her silky bed sheets. She held her head in her hand while her vision seemed weary.

That same dream again. Shion was a priestess. One who could see the future of a person's death. It would be anyone's death, but...but...not that man. The one who she had seen in her dreams at least fives time since that infernal swirl mark made itself apparent at the nape of her neck only being covered by her long hair. Why couldn't she see this person's death? Every time she dreamed of him then her vision was hazy as well as was his death. What was it that made it this way? His blonde hair, his whisker marks and that...symbol on his right hand. The priestess didn't know what to make of it, but she knew one thing. She would never like to meet him. She was sure that if she did then...then even she wouldn't be able to predict the outcome.

"I-I'm fine," Shion said while she was offered a glass of water, but she noticed that when the water was being delivered the man quickly backed away from her with the smile never leaving his face. Shion always hated that smile. Whoever this person was that she was destined to meet, she really hoped that it wouldn't be anytime soon.
