Hey guys, I'm going to give you a quick rundown of who is who. Kosuke is Sasuke's descendant (Sasuke has a son as well as Sarada, and Kosuke is Sasuke's son's grand kid), Toshiro(yes, like from Bleach) is Himiwari's grandchild. This story ignores everything about Naruto Gaiden other than any characters I decide to use. It also ignores chapters 700/701 other than characters and who they get with. I will change the tiniest amount of canon/create things that were never shown, but technically it never said they didn't exist, such as Kakashi and Yugao having a relationship, and Sasuke having a son. Full family tree will be in my Bio. I don't own Naruto.
Nearly seventy years after the final battle between Sasuke and Naruto, the great grandchildren of a few legends were nearing their graduation from the Academy. Descended from some of the greatest shinobi the world has ever seen, Uchiha Kosuke and Uzumaki Toshiro were as good as they came in terms of academy students. They were on par with Itachi, but had chosen to stay in the academy until age 13 in order to maximize their intellectual capabilities. But the real question, the one that Namikaze Raiden couldn't wait to know the answer to, was which student would become the Rookie of the Year.
Raiden was a boy from a clan long dead, and he was genetically speaking the only remaining from said clan. He was born from an experiment that the son of a missing nin by the name of Yakushi Kabuto had done in hopes of reviving Minato himself and forcing him to teach the Hiraishin no Jutsu to him and his followers. Somehow, Raiden was born, and rescued by the Ninth Hokage, Uchiha Sarada. To prevent something like what Naruto went through from happening, Raiden was told at a young age exactly how he was "born", as well as the village. Because of his backstory however, people of the leaf village tended to hate him.
"The Kunoichi of the Year award goes to Yamanaka Inori, leaving our top three students. In third place in terms of class rank, we have…" Sarutobi Hiruzen, grandson of Konohamaru and teacher at the Academy, said.
"Oh, come on already, we all know it is Raiden, now get on with the Rookie of the Year!" An Inuzuka boy, Teru, could be heard in the back of the room, yelling what everyone was thinking, but they were shocked at what their sensei had to say.
"Raiden? Actually, third place goes to Uzumaki Toshiro. The Runner up this year is…" Cue the pin drop. "Uchiha Kosuke; the Rookie of the Year is Namikaze Raiden! Congratulations!"
The uproar in the room could be heard for miles, with cries of "He cheated!" and "There's no way the test tube baby could be Rookie of the Year!"
Raiden couldn't believe his luck was this bad. Not only did people hate him for something out of his control, but now his classmates would believe he cheated and changed his grades! Maybe he could forfeit his first place spot and play it off as a prank. Unfortunately, he wasn't a very good prankster, so he would probably get caught right away.
"U… Uhm, excuse me, Hiruzen-sensei? Could you explain to everyone about Raiden's special jutsu that allowed him to take first place? I saw it with my Byakugan during the final exam, and I belive that is why he is Rookie of the Year, correct?" Hizashi Hyuga, grandson of Hanabi, asked from the back of the room.
Now people are going to find out that I know the Hiraishin? I know Kosuke's dad deemed me a worthy enough heir to inherit the Hiraishin, being a clone of Yondaime-Sama, but what will these people think of it? Oh well, it's better if I show them it instead of trying to hide it..
Those close to him could have heard the whispering of Hiraishin had they not been yelling at Hizashi about how he was a liar and nothing Raiden did could be that strong.
A yellow flash lit up the room, and all was silent.

"Huh, I suppose that's why I didn't make rookie of the year, 'ttebayo!" Toshiro whispered to Kosuke.
"Hn. We really should have given him more credit. He always did seem faster than we were, I guess running is nothing in his eyes when he can just teleport." The Uchiha wanted to hate Raiden for taking his chance at Rookie or Runner up away, but he knew the kid had enough hatred in his life, and being an Uchiha, Kosuke knew all about what hatred can do if you don't have anyone around to be a friend.
"So, Sensei, when do we get our teams?" Raiden asked nervously. He didn't want to meet his team for fear of them hating him, but he also didn't want to deal with the stares of his classmates any longer.
"I guess I can tell you all now. Team one will be, as expected, the Ino-Shika-Chou trio. This will, obviously, consist of Inori, Shikaku, and Choujoku. Your sensei will be my cousin, Sarutobi Asuma." Hmm, that's funny. If my memory serves me right, that was also the name of the sensei of the strongest Ino-Shika-Chou trio to live, from Naruto-sama's generation. Funny how that turns out… Hiruzen thought to himself.
"Team 2… Well, it seems Hokage-sama doesn't want to balance out the teams in the traditional way with you guys, team 2 consists of Kosuke, Toshiro, and Raiden. Your sensei will be… Hatake Kiyoko. You guys are lucky; she's one of the strongest ninja in our village." Hiruzen continued to list off the other teams, one consisting of Hizashi as well as the Inuzuka from before, Teru, and another Nara, sister to Shikaku, named Shikama. The other squads consisted of civilian children, and most likely would be either back in the academy in two weeks, or in the civilian school on the other side of the village. He bid his students farewell, telling them to come back tomorrow to meet their Jounin Senseis.
"Hey, you guys want to come to my clan's compound and hang out? Mom's out on a mission, and my dad is at the office until late, so there shouldn't be anyone around." Kosuke asked his new teammates.
"Sure, I don't really have anyone at home to wait for me, so I'm free." Raiden said, not meaning to sound depressed but the way he worded it made his friends feel bad.
"I can't, my dad is teaching me how to summon toads, and I'm so close to summoning Gamakaru, I can just feel it, 'ttebayo!" Toshiro said. The toad summon contract was what really set Naruto on his path to greatness, so he felt that it could do the same for him.
"Good luck!" Both boys yelled to their over exuberant lavender haired friend.
"I find it funny that Toshiro is the first boy in his family to not have blond hair, don't you? Boruto had it, Naruto had it, and his father has it even though Himawari didn't. But, for some reason, Toshiro got the short end of the stick I guess…" Kosuke said, having teased Toshiro on his Hyuga-like hair, even though the boy had yet to show signs of having the Byakugan.
"Eh, I'm okay with it. It'd be weird to have someone with the exact same hair color as me on the team. So tell me, do you have the Sharingan yet? I don't really know how you get it, but I just know that it's your bloodline…"
"Yeah, I do. It's not mastered; it's only got two tomoe." Kosuke decided that if he was going to be teamed with Raiden, he might as well tell him personal things like that, seeing as secrecy doesn't really further your relationship with teammates.
"Wow, I guess the history books about the 'Silent and powerful Uchiha clan' were only half true. I think I've heard you talk more in the past five minutes than you did all through the Academy!"
"Hehe… I only really talk to my friends. Hey, do you want to train? I was thinking that you using your hiraishin would help me improve my Sharingan to the third tomoe pretty quickly."
"I'll train with you, but I don't think that'll help you much. Hiraishin teleports me to my Kunai, there is no movement in between, so how will you follow my movements?" Raiden asked.
"Well, I studied the Hiraishin a little bit," Kosuke started, "The way I understand it is that you link your chakra in your body to the kunai, which activates the seal and summons you to the Kunai right?"
"Yeah…" Raiden didn't really see where he was going with this.
"Then hypothetically I should be able to follow your chakra to the kunai you attach it to, and be able to react faster, right?"
"Damn, you're pretty clever! I can't wait to try that out! If this works, I'll have to train a hell of a lot more to be able to spar against you." Raiden was amazed that someone had, hypothetically, figured out a weakness in the Jutsu just from reading about it. While it requires one of the three legendary doujutsu, two of which only ever resided in the leaf, and one of which only occurred in like four people in history, it was still amazing that an academy student potentially just discovered a weakness in a Jutsu that allowed one man to end entire wars.

The boys arrived at the Uchiha compound a few minutes later. They went inside, grabbed a couple bottles of water, and went right back out to test Kosuke's theory.
"Want to test it first, or hop right into a spar?" Raiden asked.
"Let's test it in a spar, I want to see how battle effective my theory is, not just if it works." Kosuke said.
"No arguments here, let's go!"
Both boys dropped into a stance. Kosuke pulled out a plain kunai while Raiden grabbed two of his hiraishin ones. Then, he did something unexpected. He dropped a smoke bomb at his feet. Using this as a distraction, Kosuke closed his eyes. When they reopened, the boy had his Sharingan active. He opened his eyes just in time to see three special kunai coming at him from the smoke.
"I hope this isn't all you've got, this is the most predictable thing I've seen!"
He deflected one of the kunai, snatched the second out of the air, and dodged the third. His chakra string theory was correct, because he noticed the kunai in his hand was about to be used. Smirking, the Uchiha threw it back towards the smoke, followed closely by his own Kunai. He hoped that, because Raiden was still in the smoke, he wouldn't see the kunai chasing his, and so he would teleport only to get smacked in the back by the blunted blade. What Kosuke did not see coming was the kunai resting against his throat.
"Game over Kosuke, I got you." Raiden said in a somewhat serious tone.
"I concede, now how the hell did you do that? I saw chakra connect you to the kunai the whole time it was flying? So how di… Wait, what?"
Raiden was walking out of the smoke. "You see, the smoke wasn't to hide the kunai or the chakra strings, it was to hide me so I could perform the shadow clone and transformation jutsu. I henged my clone into a kunai, and threw it slower than the other two, hoping that you would choose to dodge it. I timed it so that the clone/kunai would be behind you when you blocked my second kunai with yours. I used the sound of the kunai hitting each other to cover my clone exiting the henge. Then, I began activating my hiraishin on the third kunai to distract you. "
"But, why didn't you teleport to it? Wouldn't that have distracted me more?" Kosuke still didn't understand that part, because Raiden couldn't have known about his own kunai being thrown.
"I planned on teleporting to it as soon as my clone transformed, but when my chakra connected to it I felt it moving back towards me. I didn't understand why you would throw it back knowing I could just teleport to it, so I chose to play it safe and dodge the kunai instead." Raiden said as Kosuke lowered his head in defeat.
"You really are a strong ninja, even at a fresh genin. I place you around Chunin level already!" At this Raiden raised his eyebrows. He hadn't thought much of this tactic, it was a bread and butter technique to mix shadow clones and throwing weapons, so why did hiraishin make it any different? "Why was that so amazing to you?"
"Think Raiden, use that Rookie of the Year head of yours! No other village is going to have a Sharingan, therefore, no one is going to anticipate which of those three kunai you'll teleport to. You could throw a fourth one in front of the enemy, and then use the henged clone to hit them from both sides!" Kosuke was watering at the mouth in anticipation for the Chunin exams, and they hadn't even passed the preliminary exam to become genin yet! Their team would rock the exams!
