"What have you found on this Naruto Kazama?" An elderly man with bandages covering his right eye and right arm asked.

The man wearing a blank mask, "Nothing much, Danzo-sama. Naruto Kazama was the son of Minami Kazama. Graduated from the civilian school in the village of Colors with a medical degree and business degree, but did a little training in his mother's family's nomadic jutsus. Even though he is great in seals and medical jutsus his only other talent is in shadow clones. His father is unknown, but his mother was friends with Hikaru Sho, a resident here."

"Hmmm ... it may be a coincidence that he is here and looks like the hokage ... " Danzo pondered as he tapped the arm of his chair, "Continue keeping an eye on him and keep digging for information ... what is it?" Danzo glowered as his ninja didn't leave.

The ninja shifted awkwardly, "Umm Danzo-sama, if I may ... can we have more shifts watching Kazama-san? It's just he's very virile and it gets problematic watching him with his partners for long periods."

The leader sweat dropped, "Yes ... add two more ninjas to the rotation." The masked ninja bowed and left the chamber. "Sparrow was a fool for trying to defy me. If she just brought me the baby from the beginning we wouldn't be in this mess. Having the hokage's son under my command would've been another step to taking full control of Konoha, but now with these new defenses it's not easy even for my subordinates to move as freely as before."

"Danzo!" A person in the shadows snapped angrily and ran towards the old man only to be stopped by six guards with blank masks.

Danzo glanced indifferently at the person, "What are you doing here?" He waved dismissively and the guards backed off.

"You said I could take what I wanted, but look at what happened!" The person snapped furiously as they stepped into the light revealing that Danzo's enraged guest was a brown haired woman with a tattoo of a blue sun on her hand that was slightly hidden by the sleeve of her black jacket.

"My subordinate got you passed the seals so the fact that the hokage's child got away from you is not my fault, Jen." The old man glared as the woman stepped towards him, but he relaxed as she sighed in defeat.

Jen put her brown hair in a bun removed her jacket showing off the blue sun tattoo and pulled out a cigarette. Danzo removed a silver lighter from his robes and flicked the switch letting the glowing flame touch the cigarette setting it ablaze. After a couple puffs she sighed again, "Fine, nothing can be done about it now anyway ... back to business, I'd like to use two or three of your ninjas. I have an extra large shipment coming and I need everything to move perfectly."

"Of course, as long as you hold up your end my services are at your disposal. Men, women or children if I may ask?" Danzo asked politely. With a simple gesture a masked ninja appeared with a chair for Jen who sat ready to calmly chat about business.

"Mostly kids this time. Some people have odd tastes, but to each their own. I will cater to all tastes as long as they pay." She commented with a few drags of her cigarette.

The old man raised an eyebrow with a noticeable spark of interest in his eyes, "You have more buyers for young merchandise then. So that's why you wanted the hokage's brats so badly all of a sudden."

A smirk formed on the woman's lips, "Of course. If I can get an auction lined up between my buyers from Cloud and my new clients from Stone I'll have a bidding war for the brats. Just the thought of the money one of them could rake in is positively mind blowing." She spaced out for a second on the wisps of smoke fluttering through the air as she pondered the money making venture.
