* The mission went south fast. 3 of the 12 guardians Ninja tasked with protecting the fire lord are dead. 2 turned traitor, and now, both kushina and anko were in a safehouse, waiting for Ibiki to come out of the basement, with the information that they needed. While the other guardians were in different warehouses, protecting the family of the fire lord*

Anko" I'm gonna murder a bitch by the end of the night, I swear to Kami"

*Anko thought, since she couldn't help Ibiki, and now had to protect the fire lord, with kushina next to her. And it only gets worse. *

Seto: So, kushina. How are your daughters doing?

Kushina: There fine

*Kushina said, as she kept a serious expression on her face. Seto just nodded and kept talking, not taking the situation seriously at all.*

Seto: Lovely, I haven't seen them since their birthday, I hope they liked my present

Kushina: Oh, they loved it. The kimono sets were simply beautiful

*Kushina said with a kind smile to the emperor. Meanwhile, anko frowned softly, Naruto's sisters got top of the line, expensive presents. While she couldn't even give her son a plate of dangos. She hugged herself a little as she heard them speak*

Seto: I'm glad to hear it, only the best for the future uzumaki and namikaze heirs

Kushina: I know. Jiraiya and Tsunade already want to train the two. Still haven't decided who'll train who, but they'll be ungodly strong by the end of it. Heck, they already learned how to properly use a kunai

*Kushina said with a happy sigh, her daughters were gonna be such strong individuals. While anko pursed her lips. In her opinion, Mito and Narumi, just like Naruto, were too young to begin training. They should be enjoying their childhood. Not training to be killers. Before she opened her mouth to speak, but the emperor beat her, do it*

Seto: Ah, they grow up so fast. How's Karin doing, the poor flower?

Anko" Karin? "

*Anko thought with curiosity, wondering who this girl was. She glanced at kushina, who had no problem talking about this karin girl. With a happy smile, she spoke up*

Kushina: Oh, their cousin is doing just fine. She's becoming more outgoing as the days go by.

Seto: Ah, how marvelous.

*Seto said with a smile, and kushina nodded, remembering when she first found the girl. All dirty and malnourished by orochimaru. While the snake got away, kushina was able to at least save, at least one person from, from her nearby extinct clan*

Anko " So, Naruto has a cousin? I'll have to tell hiruzen this when I return"

Seto: You there? Do you have any children?

*Seto said, looking at anko, anko looked at the emperor, surprised by his words. She thought about it for a second before she spoke up. There was a bit of a shake in her voice*

Anko:... I do. He's my whole world

*Anko said, knowing that she could never lie to her fire lord. Seto nodded with a smile as he kept talking. Completely ignoring the fact that someone was coming for his life*

Seto: Ah. That's lovely. Does he have a name?

Anko:.... My lord. You do realize the situation we're in, yes? Someone made an attempt at your life

*Anko said with a sigh, kushina glanced at the purple haired girl , and she didn't realize she had a child. Seto, for his part, just shrugged as he looked around the small room. There wasn't even a window to look out of. for being such a powerful ruler, he had the attention span of a child *

Seto: I know. Simply another day that ends in Y. So! About this son of yours? How old is he?

Anko: He's... He's 5, my lord. But please. Just because you deal with this every day, it doesn't mean it's any less serious. I just want to deal with this so that I can go back home to my boy

*Anko said with a strained smile. It's been almost  a month since she left Konoha. She wanted to be there when Naruto went back to school. But with how things were shaping up, she won't be back by then. Seto nodded in understanding*

Seto: My apologies. Please, don't mind me..... So! You still haven't told me his name

Anko: My lord....

*Anko said with a sigh that turned into a smile. Kushina chuckled a little since she used to do this. The emperor was like that grandparent, who loves to talk about grandchildren. Seto, for his part, chuckled softly, waving his hand dismissively*

Seto: Sorry, sorry. Please don't mind me....after you tell me his name

Anko: Oh my God. My lord here. Why don't you distract yourself with this

*Anko said. As he took a scroll and unsealed it, he put on the table animal crackers, juice box, crayons, and a coloring book. Kushina's eyes widen at the brazen disrespect that anko just did. Seto looked at the stuff on the table and then at anko*

Seto: Are you treating me like a child? I'm the Lord of this nation, higher up than your hokage and God I'm...

Anko: The juice boxes are apple juice

*Anko said without missing a beat, Seto's mood instantly changed as he took the juice box and drank one, with a happy sigh. Anko sighed and went back to her position. With kushina looking at her as if she lost her mind*

Anko: Eyes at front. We're still on a mission

Kushina: Man, you don't have to be so cold towards me

*Kushina said with a sigh she had tried. God bless her. She had tried to get along with anko. But the woman wasn't making it easy, she was rude to her every chance she got, she was snarky, she was for all accounts and purposes, she was a bitch. Anko, for her part, didn't care, as she spoke in an almost angry tone*

Anko: Eyes. At. Front. I have nothing to say to you. And the longer we're together, honest to Kami, the more angry I get that I might just hurt myself.

Kushina: Fine fine

*Kushina said, feeling insulted by anko's attitude. She used to be her subordinate. When she was the head captain of the anbu, she would never talk to her with such disrespect. It took another hour of awkward silence before Ibiki came out of the basement*

Ibiki: Ok. First thing first, you've been bamboozled. Those 3 weren't real guardians and... Why is the Lord of fire drawing on a coloring book?

Anko: He needed something to distract himself

*Anko said with a shrug, Ibiki looked at the Lord drinking out of a juice box and then shrugged, going back to his explanation*

Ibiki: As I was saying. The 3 original guardians were captured, killed, and then replaced by those 3 moles

Kushina: Any clue as to who did it?

*Kushina asked as she walked to Ibiki, Ibiki went to the fire lord, taking the black, red and white crayons, and a white piece of paper. He started to draw on it*

Ibiki: I didn't get much of their plans, whoever they are. They know jutsus that can scramble the mind till it's almost unreadable. The most that I was able to get was a symbol and a name

*Ibiki explained as he drew the symbol. The paper was pure black, except for one shape, a red cloud with a white outline around it*

Ibiki: the Akatsuki...

Meanwhile, in konoha

Daytime

*We see Naruto and hiruzen enjoying a peaceful day, now that hiruzen was using the shadow clones. He could do something he hadn't done in decades, not even when he was retired, he was able to fully relax. He took Naruto to a private lake, Naruto was swimming freely on the water, while Hiruzen was sitting on a chair, with a piña colada in his hand. He sighed as his mood was suddenly ruined*

Hiruzen: You can't let me have a day, can you?

Danzo: Hm. What are you doing here?

*Danzo asked, as he walked next to the no longer relaxing hiruzen. Hiruzen sighed, putting the pineapple shell in the stump next to it. He got up and looked at danzo*

Hiruzen: Taking care of the Mitarashi boy

Danzo: You're the hokage. There is not some babysitter to a sleeper agent

*Danzo said with a small sneer. He glanced at the son of Anko Mitarashi. The boy didn't even notice him. He was too busy swimming in the pool.*

Danzo, "Just like his mother, this boy is just a disappointment, while he's here. Two potential prodigies are being wasted elsewhere. "

Hiruzen: We are not having this conversation again. And if you must know, I'm babysitting the boy since I owe Mitarashi a favor. Nothing more than that. Now, what do you want?

*Hiruzen said in a cold tone, showing a bit of the harsh war general Danzo knew when they were in their prime. Danzo hummed as he spoke with his usual smug cryptic tone*

Danzo: I figured out your little trick. Honestly, how could the second give it to someone so lazy

Hiruzen: Because you were not fit to be the hokage. It's as simple as that. And I know what you're gonna ask. The answer is still no

*Hiruzen said with a frustrated sigh, every week we would ask the same thing. When he gets a clue, hiruzen will never know. Danzo scowled deeply at that comment. Even after decades since the decision was made, the war hawk couldn't get over the betrayal of their sensei tobirama senju. He scoffed and stomped his cane to the ground*

Danzo: Their potential is being wasted with kushina's teaching. If you would just let me. I could make them into the most powerful weapons known in this village

Hiruzen: The reason you say this is just proving the second right in choosing me instead of you. Now leave us. Those two girls will not be trained by you. My word is final.

* Hiruzen said, his voice left no room for disagreement. Danzo frowned deeply as he turned around to walk away, but something magical happened. Danzo was caught off guard by Naruto. The little boy somehow managed to walk from behind Danzo without him or Hiruzen noticing. Naruto smiled at the grumpy old man*

Naruto: Hi! I'm Naruto! Who are you?

Danzo:.....Danzo Shimura

*Danzo said slowly, he glanced at the lake, of course Naruto was gone from there. What Danzo wanted to know is  how he got here, without neither him nor hiruzen noticing. Hiruzen, for his part, grabbed a towel and started to dry Naruto. While Naruto didn't stop looking at danzo, having a bright smile on his face*

Naruto: Hi Danzo Shimura. Why do you have bandages on your body? Are you hurt ?

Danzo: I was... A long time ago. In the second Shinobi war, I got hurt to the point that I could never fully recover. So, every day, I have to change my bandages, or my skin will get infected

*Danzo said, that was the lie he told the world, the lie that even Hiruzen believed it. But in reality, we all know what secrets he keeps in those bandages, and after the Uchiha mass funeral, it was so much easier to collect his secrets*

Naruto: In-fec-ted. That's bad, I'm so sorry.

Danzo: Hm.

*Danzo simply said, as he gave a small pet of Naruto's head, before he walked away. Hiruzen and Naruto watched the man leave before Naruto looked at hiruzen, with curiosity behind his eyes*

Naruto: Is he a friend of yours, jiji?

Hiruzen: At one point in time, yes. But that was a long time ago

*Hiruzen said softly, as he looked at where Danzo disappeared to, he wished he could say that he felt sad, but he didn't. He knew Danzo sold his soul for political power. The friend he once knew was dead. Now, all he could do was to keep that monster at bay. He shook his head and looked at Naruto with a smile on his old face*

Hiruzen: Now come on, that's enough swimming. Let's have some much

Naruto: ok!

*Naruto said excitedly, as they went to the picnic blanket that the anbu set up for them. Those two sat down, and hiruzen waved his hand. The anbu relaxed and went on their break. Some of them even went for a swim. Naruto and hiruzen ate for a while, till hiruzen looked at Naruto with a question on his head*

Hiruzen: Naruto, my boy, I have a question for you. A question you already answered. But I want to make sure it wasn't a fluke

Naruto: fl-u-ke

*Naruto worded out the new word. Hiruzen that he got it correct. Naruto smiled and wrote it down in his little note. Whenever he spells a word that he doesn't know, he writes it down and shows it to his mother so that she can define it. Since Naruto's mother knew everything. Hiruzen chuckled softly, seeing the pure happiness only a child could have.

Hiruzen: very good. Tell me, who are the kings and queens of a village?

Naruto: Oh! The children, of course!

*Naruto said without having to think of it for a second. Hiruzen eyes widened a little, but then he smiled softly at the boy, as he threw at a curve ball, to see if he hit it*

Hiruzen: How can you be so sure? It could be the elders of a village

Naruto: No, that's wrong. The elders are old. They won't be here for long. The children are the ones that will be left this village to protect, and to make sure no bad people come in, and hurt it. The elders are.... What are the pointing pieces on the chess board?

*Naruto asked with curiousity. He even made a crude drawing of the chess piece. Hiruzen looked at the drawing and knew what it was.

Hiruzen: The bishop.

Naruto: Mhm! The bi-sh-op.

*Naruto worded out, and then wrote down the word on his little journal, that has a small drawing of a snake and a monkey in front*

Naruto: The bishops on the board. They're supposed to protect and teach us all that they know. So no. The elders are not the kings and queens. It's the children

Hiruzen: Naruto. You will be a great man one day. And when the time comes? I'll train you personally

*Hiruzen said with a proud smile. Naruto took a slow but very big gasp, with stars in his eyes. He was so excited that he jumped for joy and started to run around. Hiruzen chuckled while he ate calmly and just let Naruto tire himself out. While in the background, the goat anbu was in a state of shock*

Asuma" The children...."
