Many people have been P. me asking how to say Kiara's name so I thought that I would leave it for you here.

(Key-air-uh)

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I suck at drawing, so you can see the problem with that. Besides I don't think I ever would've come up with a slug as a companionable animal. However, I do own this story.

I don't really like this chapter much, but it was necessary to allow you to understand each person's role and explain why they decided to leave Konoha.

Chapter 5: Explanations

With Kiara

"Kiara-Sensei, the people from Konoha have arrived. Who would you like me to send in first?" Inari questions from the door.

"Well, first tell each of the clans where the compounds are. They will be able to choose which one they want. They're empty; it makes no difference to me, as long as they don't fight. Send in Ibiki, Anko and the clan heads in first, if you would." Kiara ordered lightly, still pouring over forms for said people.

Hearing the door open and close, Kiara looked up to see the very people she asked for. I did well making Inari my assistant and secretary, not to mention, my student. "Good afternoon, everybody! Thank you for joining me. Down to business, shall we?" Getting a collective nod, she turns her attention to Ibiki and Anko. "I'm going to assume that you will want to join the Intelligence Division of my TSY (Tokushu Sakusen Yunitto [Special Operations Unit])?"

"Actually we want the Torture and Interrogation Division." Anko corrected.

"My Intelligence Division is my T & I division. The I.D handles all interrogations and reconnaissance. It is divided into two cells, Interrogation Cell and Recon Cell. However you have to apply into the I.D, then my TSY Commander will assign you to a cell based on your 'talents'. Don't sweat guys; I'm sure my commander will put you into interrogation." Kiara giggles lowly.

"Then yes, we want to apply for your Intelligence Division." Ibiki replies gruffly.

Handing them two forms, she adopts a serious expression. "The first form is your Village Acceptance Form and you only need to sign and state your business, plain and simple. The second form is to apply for the TSY. Fill it out and then I will call for my commander, once I have seen everyone."

"Just for the information benefit, who is your TSY Commander?" Ibiki investigates.

"To name my commander, a story must be told. My commander is Uchiha Itachi. Now before you go off on me for allowing a 'traitor' and 'murderer' of Konoha to enter my ranks. Listen to his story. Uchiha Itachi was just named an ANBU, when his father, Uchiha Fugaku requested him to help with a coup d'état. He wanted Itachi to use his position in ANBU to 'spy' on the defenses of the village. Itachi went along with it until he became the ANBU Commander at the age of 13. He began spying on his fellow clan members and passing information to Sarutobi-Jiji, along with the Elders and Danzo. Though Jiji had conclusively decided to discourse the Uchiha from starting a civil war and eventually the Fourth Ninja War, Danzo met privately with Itachi and manipulated him into choosing between the lives of his clansmen or that of his little brother. Against Hiruzen's orders, Danzo and the Elders ordered Itachi to get rid of the Uchiha Clan." The shocked faces of all in them room met the end of her speech. "You may go fill out your forms now, Ibiki and Anko. I would like to speak with the clan heads."

Bowing slightly out of respect, the both of them took their leave.

"Now I'm not sure what any of you were planning on doing when you came here, but I have a few ideas that I would like to run by you, if that would be acceptable?" Kiara offered, again nods answered her.

"My council is only made up of three representatives at the moment. They are Tazuna for my civilians, Hideaki Katumo for my ninja and Uchiha Itachi from my TSY agents. I would like to give each of you a spot in the council since you have brought your clans with you. However there is something else. I would like a few of you to take up positions at the academy to teach the younger generation. This goes to Inuzuka Tsume and Nara Shikaku. The rest of you, I have other ideas available. Shibi-San, if you could have your clan harvest things from your insects like honey for profit, it would be much appreciated. Inoichi-San, I have a place that you could set up a flower shop available with a climate control seal. Akimichi-San, there are plenty of places to open restaurants around the village. I will have my contractor, Tazuna get with you and Inoichi-San and show you around. Hyuuga-San, I would like for either you or someone in your clan to also be a part of the academy. With the Byakugan, you would be able to better teach the students about their chakra and how to control it." Kiara looks to each clan head as she finishes her suggestions. "What do you say?"

"What would Tsume-San and I be teaching at the academy should we accept?"

"Well Shikaku-San from what I know about you, you are an amazing tactian and strategist. I would like for you to teach the students to think of a plan for traps or tactics on how to do certain objectives. Inuzuka-San would be teaching tracking and how to use a person's five senses to be better aware of their surroundings." Kiara clarified. "You don't have to start right away, get settled and explore the village. Nevertheless, I would like for you to consider. Inari-Kun, please find a spot for the clan heads to wait comfortably while I speak with the rest of our guests!" Handing each of them their acceptant forms to fill out while they wait, she dismissed them.

"Hai, Kiara-Sama!" Inari acknowledge walking through the door, then turning back to the door. "Please follow me. And Kiara-Sensei, who would you like next?"

"Send in Team Ebisu and after they leave it will be everyone else, okay?"

"Hai! Come on, I have a place for you to rest and relax while waiting." With that figured out, Inari lead the clan heads out of the room and sent in Team Ebisu.

"Good day, guys! How was your trip? Look at you, Konohamaru. You've gotten taller." Kiara stood up moving to the front of her desk, showing off her outfit. It consisted of black thigh-high boots over a pair of dark, burnt orange, tight pants and a black long-sleeved Japanese style shirt with orange accents (similar to Tenten's first top only different colors and sleeves). A whirlpool headband matching her pants sat proudly around her neck.

"Kiara-Nee-Chan, You became a Kage. That's so unfair!" Konohamaru exclaimed, loudly.

"Yes, I became a Kage, but don't let that stop your dream of surpassing me, Noha. Now, back to the task at hand, you will not be known as Team Ebisu. That isn't how our teams are named and registered. They are named for their abilities. So, what are your abilities? And how many missions have you completed?"

"I will answer those, Kiara-Sama. Konohamaru is quite proficient in traps, speed and analytical thinking during battle. He has high-level speed and evasive skills and some have mentioned that he might have inherited his grandfather's natural skill for Jutsus. Moegi's abilities lie mostly with Genjutsu and she is currently working on Iryō Ninjutsu. Udon's abilities lie in smarts and strategies with Taijutsu. They have completed 25 D-Rank missions. My abilities are around average on all bases, Kiara-Sama." Ebisu explained.

"Okay, so after filling out your acceptance and ninja forms, you will be known as Team Subete (All). Your team will be focusing on learning to improve their skills in all ninja subjects depending on your skills. You will be given high D-ranks to Low C-ranks." Kiara announced.

"My apologies, Kiara-Sama, but I do not think my team is ready for C-ranks, at the given time." Ebisu interrupts.

"Well then, Ebisu, I'm sorry to hear that. I will give them the forms to enter into the academy until such time that they become ready for C-rank missions." Kiara started pulling out three academy attendance forms.

"I didn't say that they should be returned to an academy, Kiara-Sama." Ebisu stated hastily.

"But you did, Ebisu-San. All genin take C-rank missions and high D-ranks. The low D-ranks are given to the academy students, who are in their last year, to build teamwork, skills and the importance of hard-work. If your team is not ready for C-ranks, they will be sent to the academy for a year."

"Sorry for the misunderstanding, Kiara-Sama! My team is ready. They don't need to be sent to the academy." Ebisu croaked out.

"They will be on a trial run, then. I will let the Mission Officer known that Team Subete will be limited to high D-ranks until you are positive that they are completely ready. Fill out your forms and get situated into the rooms provided for you at the apartment building you passed on the way in. A Chuunin by the name of Zaltory, who has turquoise blue shaggy hair and brown eyes, will be standing by the door. You can't miss him and he knows to look for 'newbies'."

Ebisu and company left and were immediately replaced with the teams of Konoha 12, Iruka, Jiraiya and Tsunade. Iruka immediately hugged Kiara and started fussing over every little thing, like a mother hen or an over-protective father. "Kiara is that really you? You look so different and your hair is braided." Ino doubted.

"I still have my orange, just darker and easily hidden. And my hair is braided in a high ponytail instead of into pigtails. They got in the way too easily." Kiara spoke up, and then turned to Iruka, "I'm fine, okay? Nothing happened to me. I didn't get caught by an enemy or well I didn't get caught by an enemy for long, I should say."

"What happened? Tell me everything!" Iruka demanded frantically.

"It was nothing much, Iru-nii. Itachi such got lucky during a fight, caught me off guard and started dragging me off to the Akatsuki hideout. I got to talking with him about being banished from Konoha. I told him about rebuilding Uzushiogakure and how I knew the truth of the Uchiha Massacre. He agreed to leave the Akatsuki and join my village. After five months of probation, Itachi joined my ninja ranks. He climbed up the ranks and gained trust quickly until now, he has become my second in command, my Commander. How about you tell me why all of you decided to leave Konoha instead of just getting rid of Danzo?"

"That is quite easy to answer. Well, sort of. Anyways, Danzo has the approval of the Daimyo, the Elders and most, if not all, of the civilians. They believe that he can bring the enemies of Konohagakure and Hi no Kuni to their knees, that he can make them the most feared and powerful nation. His supporters and his ROOT agents wouldn't have backed down had we named him a traitor and executed him. A civil war would've broken out. It was safer to leave. Some like the Chuunins, the Uchiha-Brat and Sakura-Chan decided to stay because I'm pretty sure they don't see the danger Danzo can cause. The Uchiha-Brat might be okay in the long run with Danzo because he's powerful and Danzo will want to make him a weapon for Konoha. He can take care of himself for a while, but it will be quite some time before he can get rid of Danzo and his posse." Tsunade explained as a person dressed in all black with a pure black mask of a panther landed beside Kiara. "Anyways getting rid of Danzo would've solved one problem, but cause so many others. Besides a civil war, without Danzo there is no proof of the traitorous acts preformed the Elders and Danzo would never sell them out while he needs them."

"Kage Hyō (Shadow Panther), it's nice of you to join us. Please, remove your mask." Kiara ordered the masked figure behind her.

"Hai, Kiara-Sama!" The figure replied, while removing his mask to reveal none other than, Uchiha Itachi.

"What are you doing here?" Kakashi growled lowly.

"Now, now, Sensei! Let me explain." Kiara placated. "Everyone, I like to introduce you to Uchiha Itachi. You all know him as Konoha's Top Criminal and the murderer of the Uchiha clan, but here in this village he is my TSY Commander."

"Why would you let a murderer into your village? Also, what is TSY?" Kiba hollered while Akamaru growled.

Kiara stood up straight with a dark look in her eyes. "I am Alpha here, Kiba. Do not question my decisions!" Kiara growled threateningly, while leaking killer intent.

Kiba and Akamaru bowed their heads and whimpered in a sign of submission to the Alpha.

"However since you asked and Itachi's reputation is questionable, I will explain." As Kiara explained the truth about the Uchihas', Itachi's was analyzing each of his Kage's guests to make sure they were not a threat to her.

"Now that that is cleared up, how about we talk about what you guys plan on doing while here. Let's start with the two Sannin, shall we?" Kiara moves back to her original position of leaning against her desk and folds her arms. "I'm guessing that you, Jiraiya would like to continue your spy network, am I correct?"

"Yes, Kiara, that is what I want. That's my specialty." Jiraiya proclaimed loudly.

Kiara turned to her door, "Inari, I need Ibiki, Anko, Homuda Mayda and Shikute Warui."

"I will get them right away, Kiara-Sensei." Inari calls through the door.

The four requested individuals walked through the door a few moments later. "Mitarashi Anko, Morino Ibiki and Jiraiya, I'd like you to meet my Captain of the Intelligence Division. This is Shikute Warui." Turning to Warui, Kiara continues. "They would like to join our Intelligence Division. Ibiki and Anko are proficient in Interrogation and Jiraiya is a recon specialist. I would like for you and Itachi to decide whether or not they should join and what field they should be in."

Itachi and Warui exchange a calculating glance, and then Itachi speaks up. "Morino-San and Mitarashi-San may join the Interrogation Division. Their abilities in it will be a refresher for some of our more compassionate interrogators. Also, to keep Jiraiya-San from being an infiltrator would be highly foolish, Kiara-Sama."

"Well, there you have it. You three and Warui may leave now and get you settled into how we do things here in Uzushiogakure." Turning to Warui, Kiara dismissed them. "Give the ANBU that came with Ibiki hell and run them through a few dozen paces. See if they are up to par with our standards. If by chance they aren't, send them to me and I'll register them as regular ninjas."

"That seems like an excellent idea, Uzu-Sama." Warui ushered Ibiki, Anko and Jiraiya out of the office.

"Now, Baa-Chan, I'd like you, Hinata and Ino to meet my Chief of Health, Homuda Mayda. Mayda-Sensei, this is Senju Tsunade, Hyuuga Hinata and Yamanaka Ino." Looking at Tsunade, "Mayda-Sensei has graciously recommended that you be put in charge of the hospital and training our medical staff in higher medical procedures. Our staff isn't incompetent, but there are certain advanced diseases and surgeries that they are unfamiliar with. Mayda and I would like you to fix that. I hope you won't mind that she will still be your leader. The only paperwork that you would be responsible for is the daily reports from the hospital. Is that to your liking, Baa-Chan?"

"No mountains of paperwork?" Tsunade questioned.

"No mountains of paperwork, just simple daily reports and records of patients." Kiara answered, shaking her head.

"Then that is to my liking, so deal!"

Kiara then turned her attention to Hinata and Ino. "Don't get nervous, girls! I'm not going to separate you from your teams. All I need from you two, is for you to train in more advanced in-the-field medical procedures. Mayda and I have come up with more effective techniques that can save the members of your team when you're away from hospital facilities." Kiara looks around the room quickly, gauging all their reactions. "You're all dismissed."

"I would like to speak with you, Kiara-Chan." Kakashi speaks up, lazily.
