Hyuga, Uchiha, Aburame, Amakichi, Inuzuka, and Nara if asked clans such as these would be the first to come to mind; and why not they're the clans of Konoha, a village with a military so powerful it would be hard if not impossible to overlook; but beyond that their was one clan, a clan long forgotten and far overlooked; a clan that held itself in close power next to Hyuga and Uchiha, the two most powerful clans of Konoha
"Get back here"
In this clan, located in an ordinary branch family, birth would be given to a boy with surprising potential…
Along with the sounds of footsteps, and chuckling, the voice of young boy called out "Losers"
…In a world of Ninja, a world of silent, unforgiving killers.
Two men dragged behind with a glare of intense anger, and one, the one with the most hate in his glare yelled out with fury "How dare you do something so horrible!"
The surprising thing is…
"You won't catch me" the boy responded
This boy is only fourteen years old; this is the chronicles
The Chronicles of Tatsuke Saisasu: The Legacy Begins
Tatsuke Saisasu was a young talented boy, but unlike most above average kids he wasn't exactly the most popular, especially to the adults of Konoha; both his bashful attitude towards women, and tendency to pull unnecessary pranks earned himself a reputation near the border of bad; his one redeeming quality his Shinobi skills. Physically he was an average young boy, though the village swarmed with much more outstanding looking kids, he himself was considered to be a farely handsome young boy. Unlike every Konoha villager, Tatsuke was a young black male; his hair was faded bald black; he wasn't ridiculously muscular, but he held the body of a basket baller, his shirt was a long sleeved black shirt with designs of the Konoha swirls on the side, and his pant were long enough to reach about two inches down his zori sandels. On this Friday afternoon Tatsuke ran through the village with a smile on his face and two other men coming from behind, he cut a corner and continued on the path along with his goofy grin, after the course of ten steps he took a screeching halt and jumped into the air, sidestepping off of a building with his right leg; he stopped off in the middle and then dashed off. The two men stopped at their tracks and examined their surroundings
"Damn where did that little mischief maker go!!!"
"I'll find him and break his neck, you search one way and I'll search the other!!!"
"Alright"
True to their words the two split apart at the scene, ignorant of the fact that Tatsuke; the actual Tatsuke had be resting with slight fatigue between two buildings mearly a foot or two away from the spot of the event
"Hmph, we'll, looks like my work here is done" He said "No reason for me to stick around and get killed". He sighed, brushed off his left shoulder and dashed off with out so much of a further notice; his direction North-East, the direction of his school; his Acadamy.
The Ninja Acadamy; an Acadamy at which young children, who birthed with the destiny upon their back, would learn the secret arts, and fascinating skills that would one day carve them as the ultimate warriors; the silent killers known as Shinobi. He walked inside and dashed towards his assigned room. He sidled to the entrance, and peard through the entrance and as the young adult male (clearly his teacher) turned to the chalkboard to write a problem down, he slipped through the door and ran to his seat
"What I miss Ten"
The girl he addressed this comment to; Tenten, the young girl who sat directly next to him, she wore green pants that cut off at her ankles and a pink shirt, and finally she wore her hair in an Odango Hairstyle (Panda Puff Hairstyle)
"Not much, I'm definitely more interested in what you were doing"
"I'd like to say I did something interesting, but it's the same thing every day, it would be a lot more fun if these idiots posed even the slightest challenge"
"… I see...well class is almost over so, you wanna hang out after school, we could finish our homework and then train for the test on monday"
"Crap that's this Monday, I'm nervous"
As they made their way to her house Tatsuke suddenly halted, "Hey Tenten, do you have any food at your house, I'm starving"
"Tsk, not this again, do you ever stop eating"
"Sorry bout that but I'm almost hungry after school"
"It's cool I'll see what I can manage to carve up"
And with that and a goofy grin on his face Tatsuke followed Tenten home.
The Next Day
The next day marked the beginning of the weekend, usually a very peaceful time, when work was not much of a concern, but to the kids of Tatsuke's age group this was a very important day in their lives, knowing it was the weekend before the big graduation exam, which meant even the laziest Acadamy kids began working hard in order to graduate and become marked in their lives as Genin (Junior Ninja), Tatsuke and Tenten were no exception to this hard working frenzy. They began with their usual training routine, mostly involving weaponry training, which at mark had been Tenten's strong point. Tatsuke shot to the left, while Tenten shot to the right, and as they zipped by each other, they shot their kunais towards the center target in unison, hitting them directly
"Score one" Tatsuke yelled out,
Tenten sighed and wiped the sweat from her forehead, with a smirk on her face.
"So, you think were ready for the exam?"
"Of Course, we'll rip this exam up" he responded "C'mon, you're like the smartest girl in the whole damn school, how could you not."
Without any control Tenten began to feel her face turn bright red
"You r-really think I'm that smart?"
She then looked up to see Tatsuke no longer focusing on his conversation with her but instead practicing his substitution jutsu (A technique with the power to replace a ninja's physical body with that of a inanimate object; usually objects provided by the earth; mostly logs if not all the time logs are used)
The weekend passed by as quick as possible and with the blink of an eye, Monday had arrived. School functioned as if it were another day to the kids all the way up to Tatsuke age group, who were specifically instructed to appear at their classes one hour earlier then usual; as expected the fields were not as filled as they would appear on a day at which they would arrive early. Tatsuke and Tenten roamed ambly
"It's her!" he said, with a dazed tone in his voice.
She turned and gazed "Damn, its Hinata, y-know Tatsuke, I have no idea what you see in the shy girl"
Hinata wasn't the most beautiful girl in the Ninja Acadamy in fact some would go so far as to say she was unattractive; even ugly. Her skin was nearly as pale as an albino's, and the oversized coat she wore made her appear larger than she actually was, but beyond all that it was her shy attitude that labeled her, she was know to be Konoha's shiest person, shy amongst the shy, but through all that Tatsuke was able to see the beauty through her personality; she wasn't as superficial as most girls, she was kind and caring, and more determined than most. Despite their one year age difference, Tatsuke held a minor crush on Hinata, and attempted to ask her on date's numerous times; yet he was always shot down due to the fact that she was "in love" with a boy by the name of Uzumaki Naruto. One of the big misconceptions of Tatsuke and Tenten is due to Tenten's dislike towards Hinata; people believe that she is jealous that Tatsuke likes her. Tenten grabbed Tatsuke by the collar and pulled him back
"Alright stop staring and let's go Romeo…what's she doing here anyway, does she always come this early"
They stared blankly at the door that led to the classroom, which today would be the key to their destiny. They sweat in unison, and as the drip fell through their cheeks, they took a gulp, grabbed onto the handle of the door and pulled it open slowly, their sensei for the many years walked to the center of the classroom, cleared his throat and began, "As you all know, today is the day of the huge Ninja Acadamy Graduation Exam, which means all you kids that stand before me have entered students, and I have absolute confidence that you'll exit this room Genin", despite these comforting and incredibly encouraging words, tension circulated the air, even Tatsuke had a difficult time maintaining his nervous expressions
"You all seem pretty nervous" "But if you've trained hard I'm sure you'll find conjuring up Clone's are easy"
With the wo
"Let's go Romeo!"
As they entered the classroom the teacher, Shinar-sensei, began by clearing his throat.
"As you all know, today is the day of the graduation exam, which means, all of you entered as students, and I have confidence that many of you will leave as Genin. "
Tension started to fill the air of the classroom
"The graduation requirement is to conjure up the minimum of three, Clone, using your Clone Jutsu"
Tatsuke and Tenten passed each other smirks, as their anxiety faded away.
"Everybody will be required to wait in this room until they are called upon. They will then enter the small room next to me, where they will be judged in front of two Chunin teachers on their performance of the clone jutsu. Success will be determined on whether or not you can successfully conjure up three clones".
The participants seemed to zip in and out almost instantly; as yet another Genin exited the room, the Chunin, walked out the room to call upon the next student.
"Hyuga Neji".
A lot of things made this kid special. For the first part Neji was from the notorious Hyuga Clan. A clan filled with loads of powerful Shinobi warriors. Second Tatsuke and Neji were considered to be the most bitter of rivals, both being of nearly the same skill and talent; it formed a nearly unbreakable need to prove better then each other
"Did you here the news? Apparently Rock Lee was automatically graduated due to a Jounin request".
"Lee? He's pretty cool and loaded with potential" Tatsuke said "I admire his determination".
Tenten gave Tatsuke a look as if saying "are you serious?"
"M-maybe, but he chases after complex and impossible goals". Tenten took a seat next to Tatsuke and continued "he considers himself to be Neji's rival, but he could never beat Neji".
A vein popped from the side of Tatsuke's head as a sign of over frustration.
"I told you not to mention that jackass's name" he yelled "Neji's a prick".
"Is that so?" Neji said standing in front of Tatsuke with a shiny new Konoha headband, the second trademark that signed people as Ninja's, the headband contained a plate on the center that bore a leaf, Konoha's trademark symbol.
"Yeah! That's right prick; you're a prick, PRICK, PRICK, PRICK".
Neji grabbed Tatsuke by the collar and clenched his fist, in a threatening tone.
"I dare you to say it again".
Tatsuke sucked his breath in, and shouted out with all his might
"PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIICCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK"
The Chunin teacher again poked out the room, with a clipboard in his hand
"Tatsuke Saisasu, you're up".
Tatsuke pushed himself from Neji's grip and headed for the room; before he started he walked up to the two Chunin teachers
"Is it okay if I use a different version of the technique?" he asked.
The two teacher gave him a strange look, but quickly returned to their serious manner,
"As long as it falls under the Clone Jutsu category".
Tatsuke nodded and took five steps back, quickly forming five seals, ending with the standard Chakra molding seal
"Fire Style: Fire Clone Jutsu"
And with precise control of his Chakra, he easily formed not three but five perfect replications. His normal Chunin teacher smirked and walked up to him, handing a shiny, brand new, Konoha headband, which he swiped from his teachers hands, and ran outside. Everyone had a different style when wearing their headbands, some would wear them on their neck, some on their leg, or even as a belt, but Tatsuke's style was original, the knot faced to the right, and the metal plate faced to the left. He then walked up to Tenten with a smirk on his face
"Yo Ten, check it, I'm a Ninja".
With a straight face Tenten said "common, you actually doubted yourself, you're like the smartest kid in the class, how could you not pass, please"
"You know, you could be a little happier for me, I mean I did pass."
"Of course you did".
"Tenten!!!".
Tenten stood up from her chair, and before she entered the room, she turned to Tatsuke and with a large grin on her face said "wish me luck"
