The figures white eyes narrowed “you know me, woman?"

"Not personally, no, but the Senju's have known of you for centuries, in fact you and your 'father' are the reason the Hidden Leaf exists in the first place. Wait a minute..." she backed up a bit more "If you're here, you're the kids brother, that means..." she sucked in a sharp breath, grabbing the figures arm and clutched it tightly "tell me, is it Lord Kain? Kain-san is the kids adopted father."

"He is" the figure nodded.

"He's awake, how? We were never able to find you both, despite looking for AT LEAST five generations. How did it happen?"

"Come, sit, we will explain what happened. After which you will tell us what you meant by we are responsible for the founding of your village."

The Sanin followed dutifully over to the lake, sitting beside the Buji. The two explained what happened as well as the fox explaining what happened the day she attacked the village.

Then it was the Sanin's turn "my clan has been around since the Sarafan...." when the Wraith tensed she made an relaxing motion as she went on "however when one of my clan's life was saved by the Vampire Lord during his purge of his kind, he decided from that day on, our lives belonged in the service of the Vampire Lord, but after the purge he disappeared.

It took centuries for us to learn where he went, and the next few generations looking for him.

Then in some ancient documents we found an ninja mentioning being gravely wounded and finding a strange cave that told of the location of "The Sion Of Balance." My great grandfather found the same cave, but instead of telling of the location it gave only a general idea. So we set up an temporary camp in an ideal area as close as we could get to where it was supposed to be so we would be able to search in comfort. Soon other clans encountered our camp and in return for aiding our search they were allowed to join camp with us.

Soon that camp turned into a small village and it continued to grow and while the next generations moved on to become ninja's and forget about their agreement with our clan, ours never forgot and kept searching."

She hung her head in shame and sadness "I stopped looking after the Kyuubi attack and then my ani died. I no longer believed in the stories or legends. I apologize Lord Raziel for leaving you and Lord Kain to sleep so long."

"I understand child, you could not find our location. If you can not find us, you can not wake us. Sometimes life gets in the way. Besides, if you had of, we would never have met and became family with Naruto. Can you imagine his life of loneliness without us?"

Tsunade agreed he had a point. Her head snapped up as she heard a familiar voice calling her name again and again, summoning her back. But she didn't want to go, she had so much to say to the Wraith.....

"You are being summoned back, I think." there was some amusement in the mental voice.

"WAIT!" she called "how do I help Naruto?! What do I do for him?!"

She felt the Wraiths cloven hand rest gently on her shoulder as he said "just be there for him, you do not have to be or do anything else but that and he will be happy. Be there with him when he needs you."

"Start by healing the boy" the buji advised "his friendship to him and connection to another friend is important to him. Heal him and you will make him happy and win some trust and favor from him."

"I don't want favor! I want...." she found herself snapping, only to open her eyes to find herself crouched beside the bed and hands to the boys head still.

Shizune was crouched beside her, face concerned, repeating her name over and over again. Clearing her throat she spoke to her as she lowered her hands from the child "I'm fine, Shizune."

The younger woman frowned at her "are you sure? You kind of went vacant for a few minutes there."

"A few minutes?" she frowned "it seemed longer than that." Shaking herself she looked up at the lawyer "I understand now, they explained everything to me. I'll do everything I can to help."

"THEY?" her assistant frowned.

"Yes, Shizune, there is something about me and the Hidden Leaf you should know about."

By the time she had finished telling the legends of the ancient vampires, Kain and his 'son' Raziel, the purge and the founding of Kohona she was sitting on the bed with the child curled up and asleep in her lap, her necklace hanging from his own neck.

"Tsunade" Jiriaya's eyes were wide "you never told me ANY of this."

"It was our clans legacy, Jiriaya, not yours."

"But," he protested "I would have helped you look!"

"Would you?" she asked firmly.

"When we were young, definitely and then between Missions later, yes."

"Well, it's too late now" she sighed "and thanks to Naruto he's awake now, so......"

Before she could finish there was a brisk, authoritive knock on the door, instantly waking the boy as he looked excited "Chichi!"

Tsunade's eyes widened, he was here, she was going to meet the legendary Scion Of Balance and the one being her clan had worshipped and searched for for centuries.

As the lawyer unlocked and opened the door, the child maneuvered out of her arms and ran to the doorway, jumping into another's arms. She heard a voice softly speak to the child to which she heard him speak back proudly "look what obba-chan gave me for being a good boy!" to which he showed the necklace around his neck to the other in the doorway blocked by the door.

Her eye twitched at being called grandmother, but she couldn't move to do anything else, too apprehensive of meeting such an legendary and ancient being.

The wonders she could learn just by examining him....She immediately cut that thought off, this was-if not her god-her lord at least, it was blasphemous.

She'd ask him later.

"It's alright" she heard the lawyer murmur to him "she's an Kainite as well, apparently. It turned out ALL the Senju clan was. I think you can drop the spell once secured inside."

So, he was using his Beguile form, or at the very least the Human Guise, that explained things. She probably past him on the street or in the lobby downstairs and didn't even know it.

As the figure moved into the room, the lawyer moving aside to allow him entrance, the female Sanin rose, eyes wide in awe and excitement.

The figure who entered the room carrying the child was tall and muscular, But also plain looking, so he was wearing the 'Human Guise'.

As the lawyer closed the door behind him the figure did what could only be described as a full-body shudder and the true vampire lord appeared.

Jiriaya sucked in a shocked breath and backed away, eyes wide.

Tsunade snorted "he's no threat, idiot. I TOLD you he wasn't human anymore!" she muttered under her breath "sometimes you don't listen."

"Lady Tsunade?" Shizune seemed unsure.

"It's alright, Shiz, he's a great warrior and won't hurt us unless we threaten him or Naruto. Right Lord Kain?"

"Indeed. Have you decided on our offer?"

"Of course, my Lord. Even if you weren't paying my debts, even if you didn't get rid of that damned council, if you weren't my families god..." she looked at the child "he's my godson. I didn't know he still existed. Now I KNOW he's alive, if it takes the healing of this kid to make him happy..." she looked determined ".....I'll do everything necessary to win his trust and confidence in me."

The 'man' nodded his understanding.

It had taken them five days to return to the village, the Hokage overjoyed at their success. After looking over the young man, the two Sanin's locked themselves in a room with the older leader to "give him a peace of our minds for keeping our godsons existence from us".

By the time they left the room the Sanin's were satisfied and looking smug while the old leader was obviously very shaken up, he was even trembling when Kain saw he leaving.

While the female Sanin busied herself healing the boy with herbs, medical equipment and technology as well as chakra, Jiriaya concentrated on teaching Naruto all he needed to know about chakra, genjitsu's and taijitsu's, reading and writing, whatever he felt he lacked.

Kain listened for a while, then grew bored and went looking for other things to do.

He found time to learn his own things in the village, from reading all the Hokages records on enemy ninja, visiting Naruto, the boy and the young human woman in T&I he was enjoying taking too and talking with Ibiki-head of the department. He even helped with some interrogations, the specialist said he had a nack for it, he even in return taught him about the various attacks the enemy might use against him, teaching what each attack did and why and how to avoid or even stop it.

They received a shock on one of Naruto's new 'abilities' during this time, something that both surprised and then again didn't surprise everyone but Kain.

His son could see and talk to souls who hadn't 'crossed over' to the spectral realm yet, ghosts-the others called them.

It began when Naruto had finished his studies for the day with the Toad Sage and Kain was taking him home. The boy had wanted to visit his friend in the part of the Uchiha Compound he and his badly injured brother still occupied, so Kain had consented, but not for long, Naruto needed to still eat dinner, bath and sleep.

Although Kain himself could not cook and neither could Naruto, they had found there was a kindly old lady in the building willing to do so, and in return Kain gave her and her disabled ex-ninja husband an generous pay, the pensioner now able to afford professional help for her husband that she was too old to give him herself.

A problem soon arose with the youngest heir.

Apparently the child friend of his son had found out about his brother being badly injured and had sneaked away from his guardians and carers, only to cause and outright panic when he was gone, but soon found-by the female Sanin-fast asleep curled up in bed next to his brother in the hospital room.

When he had awaken later the child had seriously told the Sanin that his brother had been protecting him all his life and now it was his turn to protect his brother.

The child was home now and even though they kept telling him his brother was improving and would be home soon, he sneaked away as often as possible and was always found by his brothers side.

Naruto wanted to visit his friend before going home, he wanted to check on him.

So Kain had allowed the two children to run into the Uchiha's room together for their 'kids play privacy' while he spoke with the child's guardian about possible ways to keep the boy from running off. They still had no idea who the other danger to him was and as of yet-despite his improving condition-the older Uchiha hadn't regained consciousness.

Not long after their conversation started the clan head and new council member, husband to the woman Kain was talking to turned up, wanting to seriously discuss something with him, something pertaining to both their children.

They were deep in conversation when Kain then the parents became aware of something, raised voices, arguing from the bedroom. Naruto was insisting he "could" and was telling the truth while his friend was calling him a liar, and he was trying to hurt him, tears in his voice while Naruto insisted vehemently he wasn't.

Heading for the room they found both boys looking like they were going to fight, an girl child the same age between them keeping them apart, tears in her eyes as she tried to calm them down, pleading with them not to fight each other. She seemed very fragile, not just in mind but body, a spitting image of the woman with him, all her delicate beauty and Kain could see her beautiful soul and heart with centuries of jaded heart and Raziel's sight. She shone like a light-a beacon to his son.

Maybe her parents had been right after all. Maybe it WOULD work.

The girl looked up and saw them, her sudden distraction catching both boys attention as well. While the girl ran to her father's arms, Naruto came to Kain, burying his head in his chest while he sobbed out how his friend had called him a liar when he wasn't and he wouldn't believe him when he was telling the truth.

"What did you tell him, Naruto?" Kain gently asked.

"HE'S LYING!" the boy shrieked at them "HE'S SAYING IT TO HURT ME!!" the boy let out a soft sob himself and said in an softer, hurt voice "why would he do that? I thought he was my friend."

"I AM!" Naruto yelled back "I'm NOT lying!"

Before the other boy could speak again, Kain did "What did you say that he accused you of lying about?"

"I said I could see his momma, she was over there" he motioned over near the rice-paper window "she wanted to talk to him, but he can't see or hear her, so she wanted ME to tell him. But every time I tried to tell him, he yelled at me and called me a liar."

"You ARE a liar! My momma is DEAD, you CAN'T see her!"

"I'm NOT lying! She IS there! She's upset because you're denying her and calling me names!"

Before the boy could yell again, Mikomi stopped him gently "wait, Sasuke" she looked at Kain "is it possible?"

Kain thought about it before he answered "first, Naruto can travel to the realm of the dead. There he sees souls. While they are just shapeless or deformed energy, there is the occasional being strong enough to maintain their form. However the endlessness of their existence can corrupt. It wouldn't surprise me if he would gain the ability to see SOME souls in this realm as well..."

He was about to go on when Naruto looked up at him "chichi, niisan says what about Arial?"

It took a few seconds but the last vampires eyes widened "but I thought that was because of the pillars and my link to them!" When Naruto just continued to look blankly at him he gasped "If you are right, Naruto..."

"What?" the others asked him.

"If Raziel's theory is right, Naruto has inherited an bloodline ability from me, the ability to see certain spirits or souls in the material realm."

"Meaning he IS seeing Mikoto" the woman said.

"But he can't!" Sasuke cried "when people die, they don't come back!"

"Usually you are right, Child" the clan head spoke to him "but SOME souls need closure before they pass on. It seems your mother is one."

"But....."

The woman looked at Naruto "ask her to tell you something only she and I would know."

Naruto looked at her "she can hear you."

So the woman repeated herself.

Naruto looked like he was listening and suddenly giggled, hiding his face in Kain's chest in an attempt to hide it.

"What did she tell you?" they asked.

After a bit more giggling the boy looked at the woman "she said before you married Hyuuga-san and she married Uchiha-san, you told her you had such a crush on Sasuke's dad. You were always talking about how handsome he was and you both used to follow him around. She called you both 'fan girls'."

The woman went bright red with embarrassment and started to splutter, Yelling at her, "You didn't have to tell him THAT!"

"Mikomi-san?" Sasuke looked at the woman in confusion.

"He's right, Sasuke. Only she and I knew that" she bent to offer him her arms while her daughter wondered over to Naruto and Kain.

Naruto seemed to know immediately what she wanted because, with the simple love and openness of a child, he pulled her into his own arms for a hug that made Kain frown thoughtfully at the distinct protectiveness and possessiveness of it.

With Sasuke in front of her the woman knelt to eye level with the boy, looking him deep into the black depths she said gently "has Itachi been teaching you about bloodlines, more importantly YOUR bloodlines, the Uchiha bloodline ability the Sharingan?"

The boy nodded solemnly.

"What did he tell you exactly?"

"It is an ability only our family can have, because we're family. That's why mom and dad were cousins, because if anyone outside our clan has a baby with anyone else, they probably wouldn't get it and the ability will die out with us 'cause we are both male and brothers and can't have kids with each other. Only OUR family can have it because we are all related to each other."

"Right, just like OUR bloodline ability and any other clan-like the Nara's or Hatake."

The boy nodded to show he understood.

"Well you see, Naruto is like that. His BIRTH parents were both the last of their clan, so he COULD of inherited THEIR bloodline abilities, but we won't know for sure unless he shows them or wakes them-like when Itachi told you any woman you or he has kids with MAY pass it on to their kids or not. Now since Kain-san has taken Naruto as his son, he passed his bloodline ability to him."

"But....." the boy protested "Naruto's not really his son! Not like me and my dad" he looked at the clan head "or you and Hinata-kun!"

"That's true" the clan head said "but this is a different situation, child. You see Kain-san had a son, a son who was...." he looked at Kain for permission to use the story, who nodded. "A son who was half Uchiha and half HIS clan. His body died but his soul hung around and is now inside Naruto. Apparently when you die you take all your bodies abilities as well, including bloodlines. Since Naruto and he are now becoming one person, Naruto is able to use his bloodline."

Sasuke thought about it for a few long seconds, then looked at the white-eyed man "you mean he can REALLY see my momma?"

"Yes, I think he can."

The others eyes turned to Naruto, tears in the depths and apology written on the face.

Naruto, pulling the girl with their hands locked together, made his way over to him and the three collapsed into a pile of limbs together, the black haired boy sobbing openly from the bottom of the pile, his two friends clutching him tight to him while they soothed him, Naruto telling him whatever his mother said-mainly of her love and feelings for him and how sad she was he and brother ended up all alone without their guidance-how she was happy he found family among the Hyuuga's and she was proud of him for taking care of his brother.

When it all seemed to calm down, Naruto left the Uchiha child and female Hyuuga heir on the floor and approached the clan head seriously "Hyuuga-san, Uchiha-sama says she has some things we need to know. She says she can't go join Sasuke's family on the other side until we know. She stayed to tell us, but also to help Sasuke and 'Tachi. But she couldn't tell before 'cause no one could see or hear her, even me."

The clan head frowned and knelt in front of the boy "what sort of things, Naruto? How important are they?"

"Very" he said solemnly "she knew about the bad man who hurt Sasuke when he was a baby and now 'tachi. She watched them fight. She said 'Tachi is not waking up 'cause the bad man drugged him with something bad when they fought. She called it a poison. She said baachan won't find it 'cause it is new and she hasn't seen it yet."

The clan heads wife gasped in horror "so he'll never wake up?! He'll either die or stay in it for the rest of his life?!"

The boy shook his head "she said she sometimes followed him around to find out what he's doing, and she saw who he got it off. You can catch him. He was supposed to meet him at a bridge in two days time...." he gave them the location.

The clan head nodded firmly to Sasuke "we'll organize with the Hokage an team of ANBU to catch the guy."

"Good" Naruto nodded this time "that's not all. She said in following him around she learnt some OTHER important things."

"Like what?"

"Like the names of the bad man who did things to Sasuke as a baby and the man who helped the man who hurt 'tachi. The one who sent neesan to hurt people and killed Sasuke's family."

"This is indeed important news" the man said gravely "I'll call the Hokage..."

"No time" Naruto shook his head "now she knows we'll take care of Sas and 'tachi, she's going away. She has only enough time to tell us."

"Then tell us now."

Naruto frowned and murmured "That's a weird name, I don't know if I can say that." Before they could speak he nodded "okay, niisan you tell them then."

When the boy looked up at the clan head and new council member, his eyes were as white as theirs, even more so because his didn't bare the hair-thin black circle to show the difference between pupil and iris, or the beautiful pale lilac color of the girl-child and her mother.

His voice was also older and different "The one who experimented on the child resembled a snake in many ways and was called Orochimaru."

The two adults gasped in shock and horror at this and Kain frowned "you know this man?"

"He WAS an leaf ninja years ago, one of the legendary Sanins along with Jiriaya-san and Tsunade-san. But he was cruel and dark. He was driven from the village when it was discovered he was experimenting on children. All but one of those children died from his cruel experiments."

"Then he appears to be doing so again." Kain reasoned "or perhaps he never stopped."

"With Danzo's backing all this time, he probably hasn't stopped" the clan head sighed and that is partly the rest of the council's fault, whether we knew what it was for or not."

"That can't be helped now, dear" the woman lay a gentle hand on his arm. "Finding out who killed the Uchiha's and putting out an KOS (Kill On Sight) order on the two of them is more important right now."

"You're right" the man turned back to the wraith talking through the child "Tell us who ended the Uchiha's."

When there was no answer but a thoughtful look of concentration, Kain asked softly "Raziel?"

"I am listening" the wraith sounded distracted. They realized he was listening to the woman's spirit and waited for them to finish.

Finally the Wraith frowned, asked "are you sure?" listened for a few seconds then gave an evil grin, which-on a child least of all NARUTO-looked unnerving "then it is fortunate his information on her is outdated, is it not."

"Raziel?" Kain asked again, this time in either alarm or chiding both-they couldn't tell.

The boyWraith looked up at them. "He was an Uchiha at least two hundred years ago. Somehow he gained the ability to possess an living body with his own soul and push the original out to make himself an new younger body. He's been doing it to cheat death for two hundred years. She thinks it has something to do with their bloodline ability. Apparently every Uchiha may have the same born ability, but when they unlock it, it is different for everyone. She had all this information on future dangers and weaknesses Naruto would never remember, but I will."

"What's this got to do with the Kyuubi and murder of the clan?"

"He tried to take leadership of the village two hundred years ago, but was not only shot down, but rejected. When he tried to forcibly take control, he was thrown out. He tried to persuade the current clan leader five years ago that they deserved to rule and should take control forcibly, but the clan leader refused to listen and punished anyone to even consider it. He seemed to know they could not rule without doing damage to the village and its heart. He even told her they could rule themselves, but they were too dark to rule anyone else."

This struck Kain, before Raziel's sacrifice HE was too dark to rule, but unfortunately didn't realize it himself. This man seemed to know it exactly and had come to face it in himself and his clan, so was determined to not make anyone else have to live through it.

He seemed to be stronger than he knew.

"When he tried to continue to persuade them, he told him they would never aid his Betrayal and as far as he was concerned, he no longer is their clan, he was struck from all records of the clan, he no longer existed and was not allowed to claim so, he was no longer allowed to even claim their name."

"Oh boy" the woman said "that was a bad idea."

“Undoubtedly. Just before SHE attacked the village the clan leader began to organize safety and insurance to ensure if anything happened to them, his sons would be cared for, some you have found out or seen yourself, others she has informed me how to access or use when the time has come. These I’ll only tell the Hokage as per her wishes. After the Kyuubi attacked HE himself slaughtered the clan, using the attack as a distraction for his deeds. She has been following him and THAT ex council member since she found herself out of her body.”

“What was that you said about the Kyuubi? The -then it is fortunate his information on her is outdated, is it not.? What does that mean?”

“The man has plans to make him the most powerful being here, the usual delusions of grandeur. But in order to do so he needs all nine tailed beasts. I was saying that it is fortunate that myself and Kyuubi are now merging with Naruto. Not only will he be unable to take her from him, but unable to access the power unless Naruto lets him. So his plans will no longer work.” He looked at the clan head “I suggest you tell the rest of the council and the Hokage that the longer this information is kept from but a few, the more chance you have of catching this human. Sooner or later he’ll come for Naruto and the other tailed beasts, when he does you can either catch him finally or at least stop him. Naruto and us may be merging, but Kyyubis’ brothers and sisters, THEIR hosts may not be too lucky.”

“Right” the clan head nodded.

The boys eyes moved towards Kain “I suggest you add father in those plans to catch him. Since father is immortal and his abilities and magic is not only unknown to your world but completely different to yours, he will have an unique advantage over him.”

“Right” the clan head nodded again.

“She has one last message just before she goes” he looked at the boy who was watching him from the girls arms, eyes wide “she loves you and your brother and is so proud of you both and the way you have selflessly loved and protected each other. She says your father would be proud also and loves you both as well and they will wait for you both when your true time comes.”

The boy sobbed softly and nodded “I’ll protect ‘Tachi, momma, I promise. I won’t let him get hurt again.”

“She is glad” he blinked, eyes changing, and body relaxing “she is gone.” He wondered over so both young children could clutch their friend together between them and comfort him while he sobbed brokenly in their grip. Even though the boy had been only around a year old when his family was murdered, it was that first year that a child bonded so tightly to his mother and sometimes father as well.

The three adults decided to leave the three children to their bondingcomforting and moved back to the kitchen where THIS TIME Kain listened readily to what they had to say.
