6 Waking Up at an Opportune Time

Sarutobi was in the middle of reading through Asuma's report, every time he read a new sentence more and more dark lines formed on his fore head. "Hahh!" This kid does have some secrets, but he meant what he said when he spoke about building a prosperous relationship with Konoha." He rubbed his fore head and sighed "I can only hide this from Danzo for so long, I wonder if this was part of his plan take more pressure off of the Uchiha. This really isn't your regular kind of genius, he's more like the kids that were born in the feudal era. Thankfully his pursuits seemed to lean towards peaceful resolutions."

"Shikaku!" The Hokage shouted as a tall man with black hair pulled into brushy pony tail, and a pointed beard appeared. His face had two scars across half his face, one just below his eye and the other above his cheek. The lightly tan skinned man wore his Konohagakure's standard Jonin uniform and held himself quite loosely. Sarutobi handed him the report and watched him read it. "Is this true?" Shikaku said with a look of surprise on his face.

"Give Danzo the run around as long as you can." The Hokage said as he sealed the scroll.

"So I take it we're helping the kid?" Shikaku responded.

"Yes, he and his clan will become great allies to Konoha in the future; we have to buy him as much time as we can, at least long enough to settle in their clansmen." Sarutobi said standing up.

"How about we give them the land the Uchiha left behind, since their not using it anymore we can give it to the Hoshi Clan. That way we don't have to waste funds building them new houses." Shikaku said offering his advice.

"Good we'll go with that then. How is little Kibo's condition?" Sarutobi asked.

"All the medical reports say the same thing; he's mentally exhausted, and they don't know when he'll wake up. On a side note for some reason after a week of bed rest, his body is showing signs of getting stronger; rather than suffering from muscle dystrophy." Shikaku sighed, "A child shouldn't have to deal with all this drama at such a young age."

"Yes, however he knows what this will bring; it's the path he chose of his own free will. Who are we to stop such a talented youth from shinning?" Sarutobi had finished speaking, as he headed out of the office Shikaku looked at the scroll and sighed. "What a drag!"

Shikaku did as the Hokage asked pretty well; he managed to keep Danzo from finding out about the incident for almost four and a half months. During that time his clan had moved in quite nicely, Jun the previous Hoshikage now acted as Clan Leader for his people, although they only had 263 members, and only filled in around a third of the vacant houses on their new land. Jun saw a bright future for his people here; he and the Hokage were old friends so he could look forward to visits as he watches his clan grow.

They had also dealt with coming up with their clan symbol, it was a solar eclipse, that showed a bright golden corona surrounding the edges of a pitch black moon, and single Azure Dragon forming a ring around the corona. The image of the dragon's tail and the head intersected, showing the image of it eating its own tail. They named the symbol the 'Eternal Azure Eclipse!' Jun and his family wore the symbol proudly on the backs as it also represented their hope.

Kibo still rested at the family's new estate, but he had constant visitors one being Karin and the other Naruto, the two had met shortly after and Karin commented on how the Uzumaki name sounded familiar. Since Kibo said he was Naruto's friend, during her most recent meeting she decided to make friends with him as well.

Meanwhile in a cramped dimly lit room an elderly man with a cane and most of his entire body in bandages, sat at a circular table. He wore a two part black and white yukata and hid his other arm inside the inner white yukata. A sharp x shaped scar sat on his rustic face telling a tale of his early years. Two people shrouded in dark cloaks and Anbu masks stood beside him, on the other side was a younger looking boy also wearing similar attire. His had pale white hair and complexion, the lenses of his glasses reflected the oil lamps light giving him an ominous presence. Next to the child was a thin looking man with even paler skin than the boy, he was wearing makeup around his snake like eyes, and he had shoulder length long black hair with bangs that parted in the middle of his fore head.

"It's been a while Danzo, I hear things aren't working out well for you. Your plans concerning the Uchiha being a big one; how am I to run my experiments if you can't provide me with those Uchiha who supposedly went missing and have died on missions."

"Be careful of whom you threaten Orochimaru, you wouldn't want the locations of several of your labs to be leaked, now would you?" Danzo stomped his cane down and let out a grunt, "Sarutobi's forces are in full motion right now, they've been watching over the Uchiha like hawks, and are keeping me from being able to interfere at the moment."

Orochimaru released his Killing Intent "I don't care what your excuses are Danzo, until I receive the next specimen I'm cutting you off!"

Danzo's men stood in front of him brandishing their kunai, when he placed his hand in front of them, "Don't be so quick to act Snake! I have a bit of information that will cost you, even if you gave me anymore Uchiha eyes where would I put them."

Orochimaru lifted his eye lids and curiously asked, "If you're trying to leverage the Uchiha with information than you must have something good."

"Yes; but I want you to resume your bio-clone research again. This time put all your effort into it, not just your half assed attempts. What I want isn't new eyes, what I want are replacements for the eyes I already own."

"I told you before, that technology bores me. Even if I somehow stabilize the clones aging problems, as soulless puppets they can hardly activate a Sharingan." Orochimaru said in an all too mocking tone.

Danzo threw out two folders; on the cover of each were a picture one of Minato Namikaze, the other of Kushina Uzumaki. "You found their corpses?" Orochimaru smiled then relaxed, "I'm sorry although this information is good, it's not worth what you want!"

Danzo smiled like a senile old fool and laughed, "What I was offering for our deal isn't this, what I wanted to trade is information on a new clan. They apparently have a Do-Jutsu that rivals the 3 great ones."

The room was silent, when Orochimaru spoke in a creepily seductive tone "Danzo old friend you wouldn't happen to be making things up know would you?"

"Do we have a deal?" Danzo said pulling out a scroll from his yamaka, on the cover was a picture Kibo.

Orochimaru looked at Danzo again as he swiped the scroll, after reading a sadistic smile showed Orochimaru's fangs. "Old Danzo, you've really hit the jack pot! How soon can you get me one of them, I know you can't get the child right now but you should at least be able to get me one of their cadavers."

"Go to Hoshigakure they lost some high ranking Jonins, and buried them on site, as for capturing live ones, that's impossible for now."

Orochimaru frowned, "Danzo are you testing my temper? Oh! Wait wasn't it supposed to be patience; I get so confused when I lose my calm." The room was filled with such killing intent that the two Anbu members were shaking.

"They just moved into the village and are being watched by the Uchiha, not to mention there is a one year probationary period for the new clan, so they can't participate in any missions."

"So that means no new kiddies to go missing on missions? Hahhh!" Orochimaru stood up and let out a disappointed sigh. "It's a deal Danzo. Well I'm off to Hoshigakure, come on Kabuto!"

"Yes Orochimaru Sama." The pale skin youth replied.

Orochimaru stood at the edge of the room and vanished into the shadows, one of the Anbu looked at the wall intensely and spoke after awhile, "He's gone sir."

"I don't trust Orochimaru sir, that snake is too wild." The other Anbu spoke.

"Orochimaru is a means to an end, after he's served his purpose I'll dispose of him as well, after all he is an enemy of Konoha in the end." Danzo stood up and left along with his men.

"Contact Sai, have him and his brother Shin move into the Hoshi Clan's territory, keep an eye on that boy, the Hokage thinks he's fooled me by saying the boy has a contract summon as strong as a Bijuu, however I know there is no such thing. If that kid is a host for a Tailed Beast than I want to know which one."

After he proceeded up a narrow stair way he stopped, "Is something wrong sir?"

"I can't shake the feeling I'm playing to someone else tune right now. I must be getting old." Danzo replied.

Back at the Hoshi clan's estate, Naruto was sitting on a chair reading a scroll inside Kibo's room. As he placed it in his jacket he walked over to the unconscious Kibo and spoke "Hey pal, it's Naruto again, I don't know if you can hear this but I've been reading this whole time trying to get smarter, and you know what; it's working! At first I couldn't understand much, but thanks to Iruka helping me, and the fact I never gave up, can you guess what happened? It started getting easier!"

He sat on the stool and continued talking, "I got kidnapped again, Iruka said a guy named Inu saved my life, I mean what kind of name is that. It means dog, ahahahahha; but if I ever get the chance to repay him someday I'll do my best Datebayo!"

"Oh yeah I'm made my third friend! It's that Karin girl who keeps coming to see you! She's a little spit fire, but she seems like a good person."

Naruto was spinning on the stool when he heard suddenly Kibo's voice, making him fall over "Who was the second?" Kibo asked as the systems constant ringing was going off like an alarm clock.

[Killed F ranked Beast earned half a point.] This message started to repeat continually acting like an alarm clock, right up until Kibo woke up. "Navi Stop!

Unless it's pertaining to my safety or the situation at hand, filter all unnecessary information."

"Like I said Naruto, who was the second friend you made?" Kibo repeated himself seeing Naruto

Naruto jumped up and hugged his friend "You're awake, you're awake! Aunty Niwa, Uncle Aka, Gramps; Kibo is awake! Datebayo!" Naruto shouted causing a ruckus in the large estate.

Everyone ran in and rushed to Kibo's side. His mother jumped into his arms and began crying "I'm so glad my baby's awake!" His father and grandpa were crying and smothering him as well, he had been asleep for 4 months and 23 days.

The room stayed festive for a few hours, they had clued him in on the things that occurred during his coma, his mother teased him about Karin coming to visit him, and Kibo responded with embarrassment "She's a friend mom!" His family teased him for a bit when Kibo saw a sad look on Naruto's face, but it only lasted for a second until it turned into that innocent smile Kibo remembered. He was truly happy for Kibo, he only felt depressed for a moment when he sucked up the pain and expressed his joy that his friend still had his parents.

GROWL!

Kibo's stomach ached as he realized he had been on an I.V Drip for four months, his face turned red at the thought of his parents cleaning up his waste. "I'm Starving!" He shouted as his parents gave him some space, "I'll go cook some food; Naruto Chan will you be staying for dinner again?" Naruto blushed, Niwa had treated Naruto like one of her own, while he helped ease her worry during Kibo's long nap. Nobody was around to take care of Naruto they way Kibo's mother had, after hearing that his parents were unknown Shinobi that died during the Kyuubi attack, she demanded he call her Aunty.

She even asked if he wanted to live here, but Naruto said he was okay, where he was now. After all no one tells him what to eat, and when to go to bed. For a kid these things mean a lot, but the main reason was because he didn't want people in the village to start calling the Hoshi clan bad things.

Niwa hadn't given up yet, every day that he came to visit she would ask again, and he would refuse. Kibo thought for once Naruto's Nindo was working against him.

Naruto nodded his head up and down, accepting Niwa's offer when he said "Your cooking's great Mom!" The room grew quiet, when Naruto realized what he had said he bolted out of the house. Kibo got up and dressed himself in his Clans new Purple Yukata, it had the image of the Eternal Azure Eclipse and he found it quite suiting on his back.

"I'll go bring him back he's my friend, besides I need to walk. All my muscles need time to adjust to being used after so long."

Although that's what he said, he didn't seem to be having any trouble moving about, thanks to his Life Gate being open all his organs and muscled remained in peak condition. He headed to the door and was stopped for a short while by the maids and butlers that had been hired. They gave him an over coat because it was winter now, and the snow had already began falling, Kibo quickly tracked down Naruto to see him sitting on top of the Hokage Rock faces, ironically Naruto was sitting on top of his father's stone monument.
