I do not own Naruto

Tristar…I thank you for your compliment as to research I do have a friend currently residing in Japan. I bribe him… The rest is entirely off the top of my head…

Moiya Hatake… I am glad that you are enjoying it and it wasn't my advice to begin with it was simply something two of my favorite authors had said once.

Rasengan86… actually you kind of make a valid point there… about Gaara at the exams…I never thought about it that way…hmmmmm

Fatal Wolf… Don't worry I don't think anybody has on fanfiction …I haven't on any of the stories I like that's for sure…

Chapter 47

Although Fate is predetermined, it is believed how we get there is what makes us human. It is the same for demons and all beings alike that come under the rules of the gods. But sometimes…sometimes a being knows of its fate and fights against it…

Those are the times when Fate himself, wishes that he could be like Life and Death and just wink the person out of existence…

Konoha, later that night…

Temari giggled as Arashi wrapped his arm around Naruto and put the youth in a headlock. The young woman had just finished telling the older blonde about, what Naruto had done from the eyes of not just her, but Kankuro and all of a Suna when he fought Gaara all those years ago.

Kakashi who was also invited to dinner, by Umiko, was sitting beside her amused at this as the housekeeper watched from the doorway with a warm light in her eyes.

“That's my son!”

“HEY! LET GO!”

Amusement in their faces, it rapidly disappears as a red chakra surrounds the youth. Temari frightened and a little wary, because through Gaara she knows Naruto's secret, prepares to flee. But he is held back as the youth looks at her with one red eye and one blue. A struggle of a sort going within, the blue eye disappears slowly to red and the fox speaks…

Do not flee mortal girl, through your elemental affinity and that of the one who sealed me, I have a need of you on behalf of this brat's one-eyed sensei.

Confused as the demon speaks, they watch as the eyes turn to look at the Copy Ninja with curiosity. Arashi grinning a little bit, the ninja narrows his gaze on the grinning Hokage.

“Don't look at me, he just told me, that you earned his respect.”

Son of the White Fang of Konoha, if you wish to use your father's sword, go and get it. I will help you become stable, so that you do not end up like your father.

Looking deep into the possessed vessels eyes, Kakashi makes a few jutsu signs and teleports. In the meantime, the vessel turns to look at Umiko with a contemplative look and says nothing. But it is not missed by her or by the older blonde man, who is now wary of this event.

“Are you sure my son's body can handle whatever you are planning?” Arashi asked, the paternal need to protect strong and flowing, that the Kyuubi can't help but soothe him in a reassuring if not platonic tone…

Do not fret mortal it is simple with your aid and that of the other young one, he shall not feel anything.

“What is it will we be doing?” Temari asked curiously. Her mind just in awe of the fact that despite it being Naruto as her mind tells her, she is in fact really speaking with the Kyuubi no Yoko. The strongest of the tailed beasts….

Grinning, the Kyuubi let them know something about the Hatake bloodline, which maybe the Copy ninja didn't even know.

It is simple; we will be restoring the balance of the demonic blood within his body….

Eyes widening and a shock appearing on the faces of not just Arashi and Temari, but Naruto as well, the three of them were in stone cold surprise. For at that moment, the Kyuubi had chosen to leave until Kakashi had returned with his father's sword.

Umiko having heard this was actually not surprise at the least by what the Kyuubi had said. Somehow, he knew that her bloodline skills were a result of something else…

Although not sure on the origins of the Hyuuga clan, the Tanaka clan did have one secret. They were descended from demons…

Umiko knew that demons could take on all shapes and sizes, and that sometimes they chose to be human. Each of the tailed beasts, including the Kyuubi himself according to her ancestors at some point had made love with a human and had a child with him or her.

That must be the source of the Hatake Bloodline…but still she is confused. What does the Kyuubi mean by restore the balance?

Puzzled by this, she does not notice Arashi approaching her with a calm and yet wary expression upon his features.

“Why did the Kyuubi look at you?” The older blonde asked as he had left Naruto to keep Temari company as they waited.

“I don't know…” Umiko replied hastily and a little nervously. She had long since accepted the fact that the Kyuubi was in her charge. She didn't care either, for unlike most with that kind of power. The young man did not let it go to his head…

“Something tells me you do Umiko…” Arashi whispered. The eyes widening as she turns to look at him, his blue eyes study her with a mixture of indifference, anger…and maybe sadness?

That image of Arashi sad, made Umiko's heart hurt. She genuinely liked the older blonde man, and if it wasn't for the fact that she supposedly looked like his dead wife, she thinks she might have done more than just talk with him in her time here.

He was warm…funny…and sweet. He tried to be a good father to his son, who resisted from time to time. But Arashi had a patient way about him, one that reached out to the youth to quietly draw him in.

Lost in thought, she did not know how something seemed to overcome the older blonde. Or that the way she looked at that moment…soft…vulnerable…

“Oh hell!”

Startled by his exclamation, Arashi strode right to her and pressed his lips down upon her in a passionate kiss that curled her toes with a heat she has never truly felt before…

Pulling away after a few minutes, they find themselves looking at one another with trepidation. Her skin is flushed and her lips are kiss swollen, and for Arashi. A painful agonizing need feels his heart as he reaches out for her again…

“No….” She whispered. “We can't…”

“Why not?”

Looking at him with a quiet sense of longing as a part of her wants it to, she is saved as a familiar whirl of smoke and leaves arrives with a package wrapped in purple cloth. Gazing at the two in the room, the Copy ninja is puzzled…

“Did I miss something?”
