It was the usual with Naruto; he was doing his own things and a ghost showed up. Except this was no ordinary ghost. His eyes widened in awe and respect, "Hamura-jii-sama,"

Otsutsuki Hamura looked at his nephew's descendant and was surprised to see Ashura, reborn and aware, standing in front of him with eyes blue instead of black and hair gold like the sun instead of the brown of earth. The child bowed, "Hamura-jii-sama, welcome back,"

Hamura was amused when he saw a strange spirit coming closer to the boy. He raised a brow at their similarity. The man bowed, "I am Namikaze Minato, Naruto's father,"

Hamura looked back at the blond, "Naruto...you go by that name now, Ashura?"

Ashura, now Naruto, grinned, "Yeah!" His smile sobered, "How can I help you, Hamura-jii-sama?"

Before Hamura could say anything further, he froze. A familiar chill came closer and he turned to see Indra, as dark and sombre as he recalled, "Indra,"

The wayward son of his brother bowed, "Hamura-jii-sama. Welcome home,"

Hamura studied the boy, "Your madness has disappeared...for now," He looked around and sighed, "I would like to know more but my chakra aren't as strong as Ani-ue. I need your help," He gestured and a sleeping child appeared in the moonlight, "This is Otsutsuki Toneri. He is the only one left from my clan on the Moon," He looked at them, "I sensed a great upheaval in the future. Besides, no child should be as alone as he is at the Moon," He grimaced, "He has started to have dangerous thoughts. He needed guidance, not mindless agreements,"

Before the brothers could say more, Hamura started to dissipate, "That is all I can say. Good bye...and good luck. Treat him well,"

Indra blinked, staring at the child their age on the ground before coming close to pick him up. Naruto stared at where his former Uncle once floated. He looked at a bewildered Minato, "Well...can we adopt him into Konoha?"

Minato sighed, "Let me talk to Hiruzen,"

When Hiruzen was successfully fetched by a confused Kakashi, he was shocked by the sudden appearance of the strange pale child in the Hatake house. He looked at Kakashi who just shrugged, "I came home and saw him and they told me to get you to explain anything," He then narrowed his eyes at them in mocking suspicion, "You didn't kidnap him, did you?"

Indra shrugged with his usual passive expression while Naruto shrugged, "Hamura-jii-sama came and told us to take care of him. Apparently he's the only one left on the Moon. I think its right to worry. Anyone can go crazy with just yes-man,"

Hiruzen sighed, "So he's family?"

Naruto and Indra nodded before Naruto dropped a bomb, "He's also related to the Hyuuga, considering he's of Hamura-jii-sama's line,"

Hiruzen sighed, "Please don't tell me. Does he have the Byakugan?"

A quiet voice answered, "I don't have the Byakugan,"

They turned to see empty eye sockets looking in their general direction. Naruto screamed in shock and Hashirama-ki reacted like he would have screamed had he a voice. Indra looked horrified and Kakashi was gaping in utter horror. Minato frowned silently. Naruto scrambled to Toneri's side, "What happened?! How? Why?! HUH?!!"

Indra quickly grabbed his brother's shoulder, "Naruto, calm down!"

Naruto screeched, "How can I calm down?! He's...that's...!" He flailed voicelessly, unable to say the word everyone was thinking. In the end he squeaked at Toneri, "What happened?"

Toneri was confused, "It is a tradition to give up our eyes to the Energy Vessel to be sealed away,"

Naruto looked ready to cry, "And I'm still not strong enough to recreate it with Yang Chakra, 'ttebayo,"
