Hi , this is my first story on the site and I hope it is enjoyable to anybody who reads it.
-Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of it's elements, I only take credit of Shin and Hikari-
Sasuke Uchiha lied motionless in the clearing, unmoving as the wind slowly lazed along, shifting his raven-colored locks in the wind. Naruto kneeled above him, the legendary Rasengan dissipating as Naruto finished drilling it into the last Uchihas' abdomen. "Now, I can finally take you home Sasuke." Naruto said solemnly as he closed his eyes.
"That was cheesy as hell." Another teen coughed out from his slumped position against a nearby tree, a small amount of blood following his callous sentiment.
Naruto rolled his eyes and turned to the other boy there, "Shut up, I was trying to have a moment here." He then performed the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, after he conjured a copy of himself, he slumped against the same tree that the other boy was leaned against. Naruto looked at the wound the other teen had, debilitating in its own right. "Shin, you're pretty messed up man." The blonde ninja muttered.
"Yeah, no shit." The now identified Shin said painfully. The boy had earlier been caught by Sasuke's Chidori EisÅ , the technique extended and pierced him messily through his right shoulder, the lightning technique burned his nerves, causing an extreme amount of pain and damage to the young man. His currently unusable arm was dangling limply as he turned his head away from the clone that had now beheaded Sasuke and toward the orange-and-black ninja next to him. "We won't make it the entire trip to Konoha right now, will we?" Shin asked, as he looked at the gaping hole at the area connecting his arm to his torso.
"Honestly? No. I don't think we will, and I don't have enough chakra to summon any of the toads to get us help." Naruto sighed out, hoping that; somehow, Kami would help the two of them.
Shin reached up with his left hand, swiping across his wound, the summoning tattoo present upon his palm as he placed it onto the ground, 'Kuchiyose no Jutsu.' He thought to himself as he wordlessly summoned a small hatchling.
"Shin-sama! You're hurt! Why did you summon me?! Why not anyone else who could fix you or carry..." the young snake hissed out quickly until Shin put his hand upon her small head, quieting her down almost immediately.
"Kasan-chan, quickly go to get help for us from the ninjas that have this sign on their heads, they should taste like him." Shin said as he gestured toward Naruto. "I'm trusting you, do Manda-sama proud, we believe in you, okay?" Shin said warmly to the young snakette. She seemed to nod as she vanished in a puff of smoke.
"I didn't think you could speak to anyone or anything with something other than disdain or sarcasm." Naruto sniggered as he observed the interaction between the boy and his young summon.
"Naruto, shut the hell up. You want to talk about me, what did I see you doing to Hinata while you were using the Orioke no Jutsu?" Shin shot back causing Naruto to immediately become red and sputter.
"I-she-Hinata wanted to see my Orioke form! It was her idea, I can't tell her no." Naruto stuttered and pouted causing Shin to wave him off while smirking.
"Don't talk shit to me then. I get enough of that from Tayuya." Shin mumbled as he sighed and closed his eyes, focusing on relaxing until help arrived.
Naruto laughed at the plight of his childhood buddy, "She seems to be a bit rough sometimes. I've been afraid of her for like 2 years now." He then looked over to Shin , only to see him staring back at him hauntingly.
"Don't talk bad about her. She'll know, she always knows." Shin said seriously causing Naruto to gulp and nod. The two scared males slowly turned and look around the clearing as an ominous feeling overcame to the two of them. Once it passed, they each turned to the scroll that rolled between the two of them.
"Sasuke's body was burned, the head is in the scroll, and his eyes were crushed and burned. Anything else boss?" The clone said as he plopped down in front of the two.
"Um...You could carry Shin." Naruto said as he scratched his head in wonderment about what else to do with the clone. With a nod, the clone assisted Shin to his feet and the three began their journey back toward Konoha, though before they could continue, Kasan slithered from under the bushes in front of the group and into Shin's hand.
"Shin-sama, a team was sent out before you had summoned me. It would seem that the Hokage wanted to make sure you made it back. They are about 30 minutes from this location." Kasan hissed happily, now that she knew her favorite summoner would be fixed up soon. The boy nodded toward the small snake and she slithered up his good arm and curled herself into his dark hair. Once she was settled, they continued at a brisk, but leisurely pace to meet up with their backup and make their way to Konoha.
As the trio traversed through the dense forest, they began to feel an impending sense of dread. Suddenly a shuriken flew by and lodged itself in the tree next to Naruto's head.
"Kuso! We got company. How long will you be around?" Shin muttered to the clone, it turned to him and shook its head.
"I've only got enough chakra to make it back to the recovery team, there's not nearly enough to fight off a squad of Oto-nin." The clone whispered back.
Naruto looked around, and before he could do something else, he dropped to the ground to dodge several kunai that came from a different direction. "Where the hell are they?!" Naruto growled.
Kasan nuzzled her head into the top of Shins' in an attempt to quell his rising anxiety. She knew that she wouldn't be much help, if any, in this fight. While she was one of the most venomous in the Hebi clan, her reserves of venom were quite small.
"Kasan-chan, go home. I want you to stay safe. There won't be any arguing on this." Shin said sternly to the summon, she nodded and vanished.
"Shin, we have a problem on our hands, and...I don't think we're going to make it out of this one." Naruto whispered as they continued to move through the forest, now dodging the random kunai and shuriken that continued to rain upon them.
"Yeah..." Shin started only just barely ducking under a kunai that embedded itself into the temple of the clone causing it to pop into a puff of smoke. As the now-severely injured teen stayed close to the ground, he picked up one of the kunai and made his way to Naruto, his vision blurry from the loss of blood.
Naruto helped his friend to his feet and the two stood back to back, watching for another flurry of kunai and shuriken. 'This is really bad, neither of us are in fighting condition. He's almost dead on his feet and I'm tired as hell.' The blonde thought as he held his own kunai in a defensive position.
"Naruto get out of here. I know they're going to keep up an assault, because I know too much about Orochimaru. They're here to kill me, I knew it was coming and it's time I stop hiding in the shadows and face the light." Shin said as he warily looked to the treetops while the flying pointy objects of doom were previously coming from.
"I will not leave you behind. We're frie..." Naruto started before he was interrupted.
"Dude, I know that! We both don't have to go down, I'm trying to make a heroic sacrifice here, I know I'm not gonna survive the trip to Konoha, I've already lost too much blood. Hell, the only chance I have to survive is for Tsunade to come with the retrieval team and we know she ain't leaving her office. Now get the fuck on and get to help." Shin growled at him.
Naruto knew that everything that Shin said was true, and sighed as tears began to surface. "What will I tell Tayuya?" Naruto asked sadly.
Looking over his shoulder with a smile that completely betrayed his previous attitude and the pain of his wound, Shin said "Tell her I died with a smile on my face, a kunai in my hand, and I took a group of these fuckers with me."
Naruto nodded and created a Kage Bunshin with the last of his chakra to help his friend before dashing into the brush toward Konoha and the retrieval team.
Shin watched him and turned forward again, just as a group of Oto-nin landed around him in a large circle.
-With Naruto-
Naruto kept running for about ten minutes until he he saw a large white dog. In front of him was the retrieval team, which consisted of Shin's mother: Anko Mitarashi, Kiba Inuzuka and his dog: Akamaru, Hinata Hyuuga, Sakura Haruno, and Shino Aburame.
Naruto quickly told the group of the situation as he received the memory of his clone. It crushed him like a hit from an Akimichi. "Um, let's just go recover his body, and go back to Konoha." Naruto said somberly causing everyone to go wide-eyed. Various reactions played out in front of him as he looked across the group.
Akamaru let out a low howl, Kiba shook his head, Sakura bowed her heads and said a small prayer for the fallen friend, while Shino still appeared stoic his bugs buzzed loudly in anger, Hinata had begun silently crying, but the worst of all was Anko.
"Is he dead?" the woman asked lowly, already knowing the answer. Naruto said nothing as he turned around and began to make his way back to Shin. "I asked if he's dead?!" the now completely distraught Anko growled. When Naruto still said nothing, she decked him.
"The last thing my clone saw before was Shin lying in the middle of a group of dead bodies...He wasn't moving." Naruto finally said, unable to look at the mother of the teen he was forced to leave behind.
"Tell me which way." Anko ground out, the others still quiet as they watched the scene play out in front of them.
Naruto stood up and led the group to Shin's location. When they arrived in the clearing, they saw Shin still lying as Naruto remembered from his clone.
Anko was silent as she stared down at her only child. As she began to reach for him, tears starting to stream down her face. As soon as she reached his hand that was tattooed with the Hebi summoning seal. When she grasped his hand, she called over the medics. "Haruno, Hyuuga, check him." she said professionally, completely dissimilar to the broken, tear-streaked, visage once belonging to the the infallible and psychotic Anko Mitarashi. The woman that ran the interrogation and torture division alongside world-renown Ibiki Morino, the woman that could kill someone with a smile on her face, the woman that showed no sympathy or remorse as she assassinated a man in front of his own mother. She was never one to show real emotion, and now, here she was; disheveled and crying over the loss of her child.
The stunned kunoichi moved into action and ran a diagnostic test on the boy. Hinata activated her Byakugan after she felt a pulse from the boy. "His chakra is still flowing in his system, he's still alive." the Hyuuga heiress told the group, Sakura proceeded to heal the most glaring of wounds, while Hinata began tapping various chakra points on his body to keep them open and his chakra flowing.
The group gathered around as the girls worked on Shin, Anko still held a blank expreesion, though her eyes now had a spark of hope within them. "Let's move him to the village once you get him stable." Anko ordered.
As they stabilized the still unconscious teen, Shino created a Kikaichu Clone and Akamaru kneeled so that they could carry Shin on the broad back of the Nin-ken.
"He's going to be fine as long as we get him back to the village soon." Sakura said as the group began to make the trip back to Konoha.
-Inside Konoha Hospital-
"WHERE THE FUCK IS HE?!"
Anko and Naruto didn't bat an eye as they continued to go over the details of Naruto and Shin's recon mission and assassination of Sasuke Uchiha. Hinata briefly glanced back as she heard the sound of her sister-in-law.
"After that He summoned Kasan-chan and she found you guys then you know the rest." Naruto finished as Tayuya kicked in the door. With a nod, Anko turned to her son's wife.
"Hey Red, calm down a bit, he's not awake to take a beating right now." Anko drawled as she leaned back in her chair. Tayuya sighed as she walked over to the unconscious patient and proceeded to slap both Shin and Naruto.
"You explain what the fuck happened or I will rip your nuts out your mouth." Tayuya growled. Naruto hid behind Hinata, who'd made no move to protect him from the raging redhead. Naruto proceeded to explain the previous events to Tayuya, who had sat down and adopted a similar look as Anko. "So, you're telling me, this fucking idiot attempted to heroically sacrifice himself so you could get away?"
Naruto nodded "Yeah, he told me to let you know that, he had a smile on his face and a kunai in his hand as he took out an entire squad by himself."
"I'd be proud of him, if I wasn't so pissed by his stupidity." Anko sighed out as Tayuya turned to her.
The redhead snatched Shin's pillow from under his head and joined him in the bed as she made herself comfortable in the room.
"I guess I'm just gonna relax until this fucking baka wakes up." Tayuya said as Hinata finally coazed Naruto out from behind herself.
"I'm finished now, good night Obasan." the bluenette smiled to Anko before turning to Tayuya. "Tayuya-Nee-chan, please don't exacerbate Shin-kun's wounds once he wakes, it would really be upsetting to heal him all over again. Naruto-kun, come." Hinata said softly, but sternly. With a nod from both Naruto and Tayuya, she turned on her heel and walked out of the room with Naruto in tow.
Anko gave a small to Hinata's back and called out, "See ya later Hinata." looking back to her two favorite people in the world, Anko watched as Shin began to stir.
"Give me my fucking pillow, you bitch." Shin groaned as he turned his head to Tayuya. The redhead looked down at him and snorted in amusement.
"No. You have to learn a fucking lesson about how you can't do stupidly heroic shit now that we have a kid, and since I can't punch you in the fucking face, I will make this stay in the hospital the most uncomfortable ever, you asshole." Tayuya smirked as Shin turned to look at his mother.
"You're just gonna let her torture me?!" he asked frantically while Anko looked on amused at his plight.
"Of course, what kind of mother-in-law would I be if I didn't let your wife commit spousal abuse?" Anko responded as she rose to her feet and left the room while throwing a wave over he shoulder, "Good night sochi, and Tayu? Give him hell." she then vanished in a swirl of leaves and a puff of smoke.
After being abandoned to his fate by his sadistic mommy, Shin managed to sit upright and leaned back against the wall, "I honestly didn't think I was going to survive. Oto is really a pain in the ass to deal with." he said as he looked to his redheaded bedmate. "Those motherfuckers are a bitch to kill." he added with a sigh.
Tayuya looked over at the slightly older teen, "You are really a piece of shit, you know. Hikari was worried as hell, she almost came with me, but I left her with Mamushi and Kuikku."
"You left my daughter with two extremely venomous vipers? And that's not concerning to you?" Shin deadpanned, to which Tayuya frowned and turned up her nose to him.
"Well, it's either those two or leave her with a doki, those big motherfuckers would destroy the house. What would you do?" She mumbled out while still facing away from him. before he could retort a small white haired blur shot into the bed.
"TOU-CHAN! I was so scared." Hikari cried as she hugged the two. Shin and Tayuya smiled as they watched their daughter cry out her worries for her father.
Shin smiled as he looked over the little girl he'd found years ago, in one of Orochimaru's hideouts. Now at the age of 5, she only reached up to his knee and her bright hazel eyes shined with unshed tears for him. As her emotions began to unravel and her worry turned to anger she began to lose her control of her curse seal.
Her arms and legs started to gain lines that turned into swirls around her hands and feet, and on her face she gained jagged horizontal purple lines across her cheeks. "Why was you such a meanie Tou-chan? You made me and mommy scared!" she pouted angrily.
Shin smiled at the girl and began to pet her head, while ignoring Tayuya's rant about how she wasn't worried about him, "Hikari-chan, I'm sorry I made you worry."
Tayuya rolled her eyes at the happy display before picking up Hikari, "Let's go get some lunch, neh?" The former Oto kunoichi asked the young girl. With a nod, the two made their way out of the room and Tayuya called out, "Ja ne, baka."
"Ja ne, baka papa!" Hikari added as Tayuya smiled and hugged the girl.
"She's learning everyday! We're getting ice-cream and candy!" Tayuya proudly stated as she marched out with Hikari in her arms squealing happily.
Shin watched their retreating forms and said, "Fuck you guys." he'd made sure to say it low so they didn't hear. He then slumped back into his lying position and thought back on his life, because near-death experiences usually can cause a fellow to reflect on what's important.
-Hey, that was the first chapter, I know it focused quite a lot on Shin and establishing his character a bit, it will diverge onto Naruto next chapter. I plan on having the Y&Y: The Beginning, then two simultaneous stories for Yin: The Darkness of Shadows and Yang: The Purity of Light , and then a final story called Yin & Yang: The Balance of Life to wrap everything up. The Beginning won't be a long story, maybe a few chapters, this is because The Beginning is only the beginning of the final arc, Yin: DoS is Shin's backstory and Yang:PoL will be my version of Naruto's backstory. With Bo: to close all.-
