Kain allowed himself one of his evil grins as he watched the disgruntled council members file into the room, annoyed and angry that they were being told what to do instead of giving the orders. However they had cut their-own throats over the last week by making excuse after excuse after excuse to delay this while they manipulated people to try and kill Naruto.

However the boy was safe in the Hokage’s own bedroom in the tower, under ANBU guard that the old man trusted more than anyone.

During the week they had dawdled Kain and the Third had been busy. First they had worked out the contract for Naruto’s custody. Then the Hokage had sent a copy to the council. Then while Kain was tested and evaluated by Ibiki, demanstrating his abilities, powers and skills, the Hokage received the proof from the traitor and checked it over before sending it to Ibiki for authenticity.

Once confirmed the Hokage sent his fastest most trusted and skilled ANBU with the proof, Ibiki’s reports on Kain and transcripts of the meeting with ALL the information straight to the Fire Lord.

Kain grinned again.

They had gotten word back days before this meeting, along with a private letter for Kain from the Lord himself.

Kain’s evil grin took a predatory edge.

It seemed that centuries ago when Kain killed off his kind to preserve the human race, a small group of humans choose to worship Kain as a kind of god. That group, having heard of ALL Kain’s deeds, even the bad ones, continued to see him as their king. They taught their kids and their kids taught theirs and so on down the line.

And it just so happened the Fire Lord’s wife was one of their current descendants.

After learning Kains name from her husband, the wife had told her husband about everything, the vampire’s deeds, her family and everything. When it linked to what he had received it had intrigued the Lord. After a long decision he signed and authorized the adoption and all Kains terms, overriding the councils need for consent. He authorized the dismissal of the corrupt council members and their replacements and sent a personal letter to Kain himself.

Feel free to come visit me at any time you wish, Kain-san. Skill and experience like yours would be well valued here. I would even be willing to accept you as an advisor, or personal bodyguard. If you find you can no longer stay inside the village due to too much trouble, would be more than welcome to move here with us. I think someone who has lived so long would prove more....stimulating conversation then the bores and yes-men around here.

You are free to take young Naruto Ukumaki as your child, without the council’s interference, and he will receive his rightful inheritance at the age of fifteen, whether he has reached maturity or not.

I hope one day to see you and the warrior your new son will become here in my home, every ninja in my kingdom is as important to me as the rulers are.

As my advisor you would be legally my voice and any action towards my advisor or his ‘family’ is seen as treason, and punishable as such.

Hope to hear from you soon

The Fire Lord, and hopefully soon to be your friend

Upon giving the letter to the Third to read, the old man had advised the vampire to accept the position. The Fire Lord would call on him only occasionally and it would not only give him certain...advantages but mean that not only would he and Naruto would be protected but the only person Kain had to answer to was the Fire Lord, NOT the council.

So Kain had written and signed a letter back to the lord, consenting to take the position as advisor in return for the protection and privilege. They had, mere minutes before the meeting, received the reply, The Fire Lord was pleased, sending the forms and identification needed to legally officiate his position, along with a temporary home in the Leaf village for him to raise Naruto in until his fifteenth birthday.

Kain would still live in the village as an ninja and assassin for the village, but he would only answer or take orders from the Hokage.

The Hokage had, at this, wanted to cancel the meeting since it was no longer necessary, but Kain had changed his mind. He wanted to continue the meeting so he could 'meet' the council-whether they would soon be arrested and loose their positions or not-and evaluate them for himself.

He told the Third this way he could figure out who would be a threat and who would be sneaky. Centuries of being manipulated and meeting even the sneakiest people let you eventually learn how to spot them.

Soon they were waiting for the members to settle into their chairs, Kain standing in front of the long table behind which they sat.

The vampire's eyes slowly roved over each in turn, identifying each by the general description given to him by the Third.

Shibi Abrahume, current clan leader of the Abrahume Clan, one of the most powerful clans in Konoha, but also the most emotionless. Emotions to them meant the risk of loosing control of their hives, living Beatles inside them who, in exchange for feeding from their chakra, obeyed their commands, even if it meant dying in the process.

The Abrahume could be counted on their side if Kain appealed to his logical mind.

Next was Tsume Inukuza. Patriarch of the Inuzuka clan, the dog oriented clan valued loyalty and family, fiercely protective of those they saw as clan.

This clan would also side with them if he played up his love for his 'son', both Naruto and Raziel. Apparently the clan was so loyal to the deceased Fifth, they had tried everything in their power to adopt Naruto, but had been rejected each time.

Next was Haishi, clan leader of the Hyuugas. Apparently it was HIS daughter and nephew who had become friends with Naruto and the two orphaned Uchiha's.

This clan however seemed to be broken into two sections, the Main and the Branch. Apparently the main ruled over the other like they were slaves, controlling them via an seal tattoo on their fore heads. While Haishi was the 'Main' leader, his deceased twin brother had been of the other, making the nephew lower than the daughter.

Which didn't make sense to Kain.

Other families he had known through the ages valued an male heir over a female because they could bring in children directly from their side, thus continuing the line.

Although it made sense to Kain the daughter being valued, he knew THEY actually gave birth to the offspring while the man could just go off and have a child to any idiot around.

But what didn't make sense to Kain was the fact that Haishi was valued as the leader of the Main house while his twin brother, someone born from the SAME parents, the same time and the same place was seen as lower, a slave.

What had he done to earn such a position?

What had he done that was punishable by becoming a slave and being murdered in his brothers place?

The only thing Kain could see with the limited information he had, was he married the wrong woman. By marrying an Branch member he lowered himself in the eyes of his brother and the Main house.

Kain was impressed with the man quiet frankly, willing to become a slave when he was raised as a leader, all for the love of a woman and his son.

Kain could sympathize with him. Now that he was cleared of corruption from Raziel's sacrifice he realized in his own way he had been in love with Umha, it was just hidden under all those negative feelings and thoughts. He had admired her dedication and loyalty to the Cabal and Vorador, her skill in battle and her fiery spirit. Her, when she wanted to, seductive charm.

If he hadn't of been corrupted he may have taken her as his wife and though he didn't know if he would have given up his quest for rulership of the entire world just for her, he KNEW he would have willingly given it up for her.

However Kain had seen someone here who already interested him.

He had met her while with Ibiki. Stubborn and hard-headed she spoke like one of the crudest people he had ever met, yet it intrigued him. She wasn’t afraid to speak her mind and tell Kain EXACTLY what she thought of him. At first he had been more than a little annoyed at her gaul, but it became interest after the head of the T&I Department told him a little of the woman’s past and actions. It meant the two of them were more similar than he thought.

The Hokage had given Kain a book to read after the arrival of his official papers, something called ‘The Bingo Book’, telling him if he was going to be a ninja or The Fire Lord’s advisor he had too know who was a threat and what they could and couldn’t do.

Turning his attention back to the group Kain looked to the next one.

A bandaged man leaning on a cane as he slowly sat down.

Danzo. The Third had warned him about this guy. Passed up for the position as Hokage in favor for him, the man was sneaky and manipulative of everyone around him, including his own council members, using the facade of an disabled, helpless old man as a cover for his traitorous deeds. He even had created his own force inside the Hokage’s own ninja called ROOT. Of course his excuse was it was protection for the council, but that fact of the matter was he was trying to slowly gain control over the village from the inside.

Even though he purposely kept his Ninja weaker than him so they couldn’t rebel it was still a threat. Just as well the information Mizu had given them gave them proof against him as well as most the hidden ROOT in ANBU.

Kain frowned at the man. He left the vampire with a sense of a snake. The man was oily and creepy to Kain more so than any other the vampire had met, in fact the guy reminded Kain of only one other being he had met in his entire life, and Kain himself had killed that ‘snake’ centuries ago.

He would keep a close eye on this one.

Add to the fact that through Kain’s new sight he could see something under the bandages. Power radiated from various spots under the binds, power that reminded him of the two boys his son had befriended, but he had no idea why.

He needed to ask the Third if the three were related somehow.

The next two council members Kain barely looked at, the two elderly people were representives of the villages civilian section and except for the stories they had spread were useless to him.

Next was Akeru Hatake. A distant relative of one of the Hokage’s most skilled ANBU, the man was sharp of mind but loyal as hell to the Hokage and the village himself.

After him was a couple of other nameless (to Kain) members who were going to be arrested, the next person was Ibiki Marino himself, smirking at the disguised vampire who smirked back. The two men had found themselves getting along excellently when the tests and evaluation was done, both baring an almost warped sense of humor and sense of self and sarcasm that came from their hard lives, being treated differently from everyone around them, Ibiki because of his scars and job, Kain for his race and destiny.

Last was Shikaku Nara, another clan head. His clan, while not as big and important as such as the Hyuuga, had a lot of influence and importance all their own. Apparently owning a vast forest property with plenty of healing herbs and various medical sources. These were essential to the running of the villages hospital and various healing packs the ninja’s took with them on missions.

Once everyone was seated and the grumbling were fading off the Hokage spoke "I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Third Hokage of the Village Hidden In The Leaves bring this meeting of the council of Konoha to a start."

Immediately the cries of protest went up. Cries from "why were we forced to come here at this time!?" To "you overstep your bounds, Hiruzen. You have no power past what we give you." And "there were clan matters I was attending to more important than this at this time."

Kain sighed, it was going to be a long day.

And he was sooo right.

Hours later Kain was struggling to hold his temper as they came around the same subject again. The council seemed to be obsessed with avoiding the subject of Naruto’s custody, despite the Hokage, Kain or even Ibiki’s efforts.

It was the minor council members doing so, it seemed Kain had won over the four clan heads rather quickly, they seemed willing to have him adopt Naruto if they couldn't. But four clan heads, one interrogator and one minor heir against four civilian council members, two minor retired ninja members and an retired ninjas-gone civilian was too little, they needed one more vote.

Not that it mattered in the least. Kain would, though, take note of who his 'allies' were in this.

However when the council found out he could make other vampires, Kain saw the greed fill the bandaged man’s face for barely five seconds before he covered it up, but it WAS there. Since then the man had been trying to manipulate the others to accept Kain as an ninja-or-at the very least, an civilian.

Kain would have to keep an eye on this one, MUCH closer than originally intended.

When the subject shifted again, THIS TIME to the state of the current ninjas uniforms, Kain had had enough and DID loose his temper.

Killing Intent leaked into the room, surrounding the council members, laying off the allies Kain had earned, and overpowering the others. Even the ANBU guards shrunk at the pure energy of the threat. Not one person in that room doubted Kain could slaughter the entire room with hardly the bat of an eye.

"ENOUGH!" he roared, mimicking his son of a little more than a week ago. "I have put up with enough of your distractions, sigh the damned contract!"

"How DARE you tell us what to do!" one of the minor civilian members shouted back "you have no authority here!!"

"On the contrary" the Third said "for a start Kain-sama rules his land of Nosgoth, making him not only a fellow Hokage but a foreign dignitary. Secondly if you had bothered to listen AT ALL when we spoke, you would have learnt that Kain-sama was and is a close personal friend of The Fire Lord and his wife himself. You KNOW how the Fire Lord would react to a close friend being insulted, not to mention another Hokage and foreign dignitary." He threw an edited copy of Kains letter onto the council table-minus the bits about being an advisor and the corrupted being replaced.

This shut the members up, a few scrambling for the letter to read themselves.

One frowned "this says that through the lord himself, Kain-san already has custody of the demon child. If this is true then why are you seeking custody through us? To deny you would make it seem like we were defying the Fire Lord himself."

"Kain-sama may have custody of Naruto Uzumaki through The Fire Lord already, as well as a home here, but he has to be approved of to live here, otherwise he'll just take Naruto and live with The Fire Lord, or take him back to his own land. Do you want to loose Naruto to another village? I know you think another village could use him against us. So think about it for a minute. Give Kain what he wants, ALL OF IT, and we gain not only the abilities and experience of the last vampire in existence and a new Naruto with new abilities we could gain as a ninja for the village, but he will work for and with us. All those highly dangerous missions no one in the village can or will do, we can. KAIN-sama can do with ease. Vast monies earned through their completion, straight to rebuilding and fixing up the village."

The council members seemed to realize the point the Third had and hesitated, thinking it over, eyes wide.

Kain himself spoke again, calmer this time "how about a test, a game if you will."

"What did you have in mind?" The Hatake asked.

"An example of Naruto's new abilities. Naruto will go out into the village and use his and Raziel's abilities to hide. YOU send out your best trackers and hunters to find him. If within say five days you still haven't located him, we win and you sign the contract willingly, agreeing to our terms."

"And if we don't?"

"Kain-sama goes and visits The Fire Lord with Naruto. What will The Fire Lord do when he finds out his council betrayed their word to his friend?" One or two members shuddered visibly, imagining their execution at The Fire Lord's hands, unaware of just how close they were to their soon-to-be fate.

“And if one of our ninja’s finds him in the time limit?”

“My abilities and vast fortune to the village. I will willingly make other vampire ninja for the village.”

The bandaged man nearly drooled “done!”

The other council members looked at the older man “Danzo?”

Quickly regaining control of his ‘helpless old man’ act the man spoke softly to his fellow members “think about it. No matter the outcome, we are at an advantage. If he looses we gain an warrior better than the worse Nuke-nin and money to restore the village to it’s former glory. If HE wins, we still get a warrior of no equal, but he trains the demon and we gain it’s powers and abilities as well as.....” he looked at kain cautiously “.....those of his own sons.”

Ibiki looked at the vampire, "seconded."

"Agreed" the Hatake heir said.

"Agreed" the Nara said.

"Agreed" The Third nodded.

"Agreed" the Hyuuga and Abrahume said in union.

"I agree" the Patriarch of the Inuzuka clan added.

After a long silent pause one of the minor members spoke "agreed". Which started off the other members left on the other who merely glared at them with "I don't have to explain my reasons to you, but you know Danzo DOES had a point."

'Ah' Kain thought 'one of the mans sympathizers'. He would have to watch this guy as well. At least until the planned arrest soon.

But first The Third's trusted ANBU needed to weed out all the bandaged mans spies and double agents.

"Before we start the test I had an suggestion" The Third spoke out as his part of this "five days seems a little long to hide without food or proper rest and Naruto is just a child."

"What do you suggest?" Kain said his own line.

"Two days hiding then he comes out to eat and sleep for the day. Once the day is gone he goes back into hiding for a further three days."

The two knew just what the reaction to this would be, instant agreement. They would think, if they couldn't find the boy in the first two days, they would just have to track the boy when he went to hide the forth day. However The Third's own ANBU grinned behind their masks, they personally knew how even before merging with the fox and spirit the boy could not be found when he didn't want to be.

Now, with his new form and abilities, he would be impossible.

Especially if what they had heard about the land of the dead was true.

This test also provided The Third and his trusted ANBU with an opportunity. While the council and double agents were preoccupied with finding Naruto somewhere inside the village, the most trusted ninja warriors could pick off the traitors one by one. They would go out hunting the child and just....disappear.

Once secured the council members were next.

Of course the members readily agreed.

"Then might I suggest we start. Summon Naruto to the chambers now." One ANBU nodded and was gone in a swirl of leaves.

Ten minutes later he was back, one hand firmly on the Childs shoulder. "Chichi!" the boy ran to the vampire joyfully, arms wrapped around his legs as he hugged him.

Amused Kain pulled him from his body and knelt in front of him, allowing the arms to now surround his neck.

Once Kain felt Naruto had hugged all of it out of his system he pulled him back far enough so their eyes were locked to each other "Naruto do you remember that game I told you about I used to play when I was your age?"

Naruto nodded solemnly "Hide and go find, yes."

"Hide and go seek, yes" Kain corrected "how would you like to play a game of it?"

Naruto's eyes lit up "with you?"

"With the entire village" Kain.

"What do you mean?" the child frowned.

"I mean you go hide in the village and the ANBU and others will look for you. Once the game is over you and I will go home together and be a family."

"Forever?" Naruto asked softly, solemnly and Kain smiled "forever" he confirmed.

"Forever and ever" Naruto asked. Kain laughed "forever and ever" he confirmed again.

"'kay" Naruto smiled, satisfied.

Kain became serious and used the whisper to speak privately to the boy for a second. Despite not being a vampire and only sharing the ability with Raziel, for some reason they had discovered recently Naruto could do the same thing.

Ibiki theorized it was a combination of the demons ability, Raziel's own whisper ability left over from his vampire life-after all, he was made from Kain's own blood and soul-and Raziel's telepathic Soul Reaver ability.

After all, what use was an Soul Reaver who had no lower jaw and couldn't communicate? Simple, telepathic ability. That way he could talk to other then Kain or his kind.

'Naruto' Kain thought to him 'I need you to stay with your otouto until HE tells you otherwise. Understand?'

The blonde cocked his head at him "Why?"

'This is serious, but for now I'll just say stay where he tells you to hide and only return if HE tells you it's okay, even if you think myself or your grandpa or Yukiko is calling you. While you're there you can get your brother and sister to start training you and afterwards we'll go get ramen when this is over. Ok?'

Naruto's face lite up in pure childhood joy "kay!"

"Good" Kain gave him a last hug then stood, giving him a little push towards the door "now go, hide."

"See ya later father, grandpa!" Naruto gave them one last wave and was gone out the large double doors.

*********************************************************************
Mizu-Water

AN-can you guess where Naruto is going to hide? Even though Kain has been cured of his taint, that doesn't mean he's not as devious now as he was before.
