Within the Village Hidden in the Leaves it was normally very active but at the moment most of the area was quiet and waiting for news from the hospital. At that very moment Kushina, the wife of their beloved Yondaime Minato Namikaze was in labor with what the entire village called their 'miracle' child. The reason they saw him as a miracle was because Kushina had been told that she would never be able to have and carry children. She was told that if she were to get pregnant her health would decline and she would most likely die before being able to carry the child to term. Both she and Minato knew that it may cost her her life and he did not want to chance losing her but she went and got herself pregnant instead of taking her normal precautions. The other reason it was quiet was because ANBU was all around the village scouting because they did not want what happened to the Uchiha Clan, the Nara Clan or the newly established Sabaku Clan happen to their Hokage.

When little Gaara was two and baby Sasuke as well as baby Shikamaru were one the three somehow disappeared during a council meeting and despite all of the searching they had not been seen since. There was also a civilian family, the Kurosawa family that had lost their two month old baby Sai in the same way as the others: "Minato-sensei I am proud to tell you that you have a baby boy but am sorry to inform you that Lady Kushina did not make it." Minato dashed past Rin and ran into the birthing room where his beloved Kushina lay, her face looking as if she were sleeping and her hair spread around her and sticking on her face with sweat. He left the room and was holding his son tightly when a little hand reached out from the blanket and grabbed his finger, deep sapphire and amethyst eyes wide in curiosity. Minato smiled softly and sat down in a rocking chair as a tear rolled down his face: "Hello Kazuki Daisuke Arashi I am your daddy Minato. Your mommy and I have been waiting..." before he could finish speaking the baby squeezed his finger and actually smiled at him before disappearing in a bright white light: "No...NO..NOOOO! Kazuki!"

Old Whirlpool

At their recently built house in the middle of the abandoned Whirlpool nation Vincent had gone to gather vegetables for lunch while some of the others had gone to Wave to take care of the Gato problem. Inside on the second floor Gaara, Shikamaru, Sasuke and baby Sai were asleep because it was their nap time: "Berias! Berias he is here! He is here!" Vincent dropped what he had been doing and dashed up the stairs to the nursery where he found the three little boys looking into the large crib to see a sleeping blond haired baby next to Sai, who was sleeping as well. Berias slightly stroked the hair of the blond baby and said in a soft voice: "Isis, Anubis, Nikolas we should go back downstairs so Osiris and father can get their rest. I have the cameras set so we can keep an eye on them in case they wake up and we are not on this floor." The three year old and the two little two year boys nodded and Berias walked ahead so he could make sure that the three made it down the stairs safely since they were so small.

The little boys went into the living room to draw and color while Berias went to continue making lunch, his mind wandering to when Osiris had arrived at their home while they were building it: "Berias! Chibi-tachi we are home and brought fish, spices and breads!" Vincent turned towards the back door and saw Lamius, Marius, Kaerius and Rolo coming in with things in their arms: "Please do not be too loud. Father and Osiris are sleeping upstairs in the nursery." Their eyes widened and they all went upstairs to look into the crib, Osiris having woken up and was drinking his bottle while looking at the new sleeping baby next to him. Kaerius put a hand on the forehead of the baby and after a moment he removed his hand with his eyes wide in surprise: "I just cannot believe this! Not only did I find out his name I also found out he is our father and the reborn form of the Rikkudou Sennin!" They all froze and left the room quietly to think, Rolo lifting Osiris out of the crib to change his diaper before going downstairs to join the others, all of them talking about the training they would put the children through so that they could control the powers that they held and not have to worry about hurting anyone if they went out of control.

16 Years Later...

"Kazuki! Where have you gone this time?" Osiris walked through wave and was looking through Wave with his basket of herbs in hand and a large pack of vegetables that he had bought to restock their kitchen until their garden was ripe again. He walked through the marketplace and was looking in the traveling booths when he finally found Kazuki at a stand that was selling musical instruments from all over the nations; "There you are Kazuki! I have been looking everywhere for you." Kazuki looked at him apologetically and turned back to the instruments so he could pay for his guitar, violin, cello and flute. He sealed them in a scroll, smiled in a way that made the owner of the stand blush and then the two walked back to their boat that they would take back to Whirlpool: "Arashi-san and Osiris-san can I talk to you for a moment please?" The two stopped and turned around to see Tazuna dashing towards them waving so he could get their attention and to say hello.

They stopped walking and Tazuna went up to them: "I am glad that I was able to find the two of you today. Me and a few of my workers need an escort to Konoha to get some more building supplies for the new Wave Daimyo and then an escort back. Do you think that the Whirlpool Guardians will be able to help us with this?" The two looked at each other for a moment and then Osiris said with a small smile on his face; "We will go and let the others know and we will send our hawk within the next two hours if that is satisfactory." Tazuna breathed a sigh of relief, grinned and said: "Thank you so much Osiris-san and Arashi-san. Now please say hello to the others for me and Inari would like to play with you again when you have the time." The two nodded and jumped into their boat after waving good by to their friend. They rowed a safe distance away and then they disappeared from Wave and appeared a short distance from their small dock on the island of Whirlpool. They rowed to the dock, tied their boat to the side and walked down the path to their home that lay in the middle of the old village: "Well you two are home way later than expected."

The two turned around and saw Berias standing there with Lamius next to him, both of them having serious looks on their faces. Berias looked almost the same as when he first arrived but he now had short hair with the headband of Whirlpool in place of the one he wore before. And now that Lamius was no longer wearing his henge he had shoulder length emerald and black hair in a pony-tail, emerald and gold eyes and was as tall as Berias: "So where have the two of you been and why are you late?" Kazuki showed them the scroll with his new instruments in it and Osiris said: "Tazuna stopped us on the way back to the boat and said that he and some of his builders would like an escort to Konoha to pick up some building supplies for the new Wave Daimyo." Their faces cleared and they walked to their home where they saw the others outside training to keep their skills from getting rusty. They had started the Whirlpool Guardians nearly 16 years ago and they were known all through the Elemental Nations. But no one, including their friends in Wave knew where they were from or where they lived since the only way to get to their island is their powers. They wore pure crimson outfits with the headbands of Whirlpool that they had found in some ruins they found when they were building their home. And since they had made Kazuki the leader when he was old enough his uniform was pure white and the plate on his headband was gold while the others were silver.

After they had discussed it for quite awhile they decided to send Kazuki, Osiris, Isis, Anubis and Nikolas since Konoha was three days away and they were going to escort at least five other people. And they did not want anything to happen to their friend Tazuna who was the father in law of the Wave Daimyo Kaiza and may have enemies out there because of his status. The five went upstairs to shower and change into their uniforms and when they went downstairs they saw the other gathered by the door with their travel scrolls in hand. Kazuki saw the worried looks on their faces so he reached into a seal on his cloak and pulled out ten razor phones that worked by focusing their chakra instead of needing a satellite to bounce off their signals. Berias took Kazuki into a big hug and said as the five left the house to get to their boats: "Please be careful father and good luck on your mission Osiris, Anubis, Isis and Nikolas." Four of them waved but Kazuki struggled for a moment before waving happily: "B...b...bye!" He walked to the boats and did not notice the tears starting to fall from their eyes and especially from Berias.

When they got on the boat Nikolas and Osiris started to row a safe distance from the dock and Isis said: "So you can speak again Kazuki?" The young man shook his head and put up one gloved finger that signified that it was only a one time thing. Isis nodded and closed his eyes when a bright light flashed to transport the small boats to Wave. Once the group had docked the boats went back to their home and they walked through the streets with their robes covering their heads and their masks hiding the lower half of their faces, which meant that nothing of their faces could be seen because of the headbands hiding their eyes and foreheads. They walked to the largest house in the area and knocked on the door, Tazuna answering with a smile and relieved look on his face: "Oh thank you for coming my friends. If you would come in for a moment I just need to grab my supplies from my room and we will be able to go and meet with the others."

The group nodded and they stood in the main receiving room, the servants looking on in surprise as many of the guards looked at them with stars in their eyes because the Whirlpool Guardians were extremely well loved among all of the people and the leader was a well respected samurai that trained in the Land of Iron and made all of the samurai in the house look upon him with respect. The group stood at attention for a few moments longer and then Tazuna came into the room with all of the things that he would need: "I am ready and the carts are as well so we should go so we can make good time to the village." The group nodded and they left Wave in three carts so they could bring the supplies that they needed to finish building the school and hospital for the village that was growing every day.
