Hello there everyone, I'm really happy to present you my new fanfiction you know. I'm a newbie, no suprises there, but I'll try to make this up to you by trying to update as much as possible. BELIEVE IT!
P.S = That Kishimoto genius owns this whole manga series and anime called Naruto...there! U happy now? xD
"Wow, so it is official that Konoha's entire kunoichi youthness are a bunch of fangirls" a new genin named Kaidamaru Urukari said as he walked by the academy corridors to meet a certain scarred chuunin named Iruka.
How come did these all happen then?
FLASHBACK NO JUTSU!
"Sasuke-kuuuuun!!!" cried a bunch of girls( well, a horde of them actually) whilst they were chasing the number one rookie of the year and the sorriest emo that five nations had ever seen - The Great, Almighty, Superb and TEME Sasuke Uchiha.
Well, at least that's what Kaidamaru was informed by Shikamaru.
He and Shikamaru went way back. He was his best - and only - friend apparently, not just because they both liked lying out on the spring sun, napping around, watching clouds, which by the way, Kaidamaru always insisted watching the sparkles and little rainbows that thousand waterfalls of Konohagakure no Sato posessed within its borders.
No, no it was more than that.
Kaidumaru was always...well, cyriptic, to be exact. He had no other ninja skills than Genjutsu, hell, he didn't even carry a kunai pouch, which he stated the reason was "too pointy and sharp to carry upon his fragile body" (NO HE'S NOT GAY!!!)
As many of the ninjas were taught, or somehow got the knowledge by experience, working on Genjutsu always strained one's mind to work even harder, to increase imagination and creativity.
So, when Kaidumaru was found, broken and BLINDED by Kumo ninjas when he was mistaken for a certain Hyuuga, he was only 5 years old. Bleeding, instead of crying, he pleaded for help to the closest person he was standing to.
By chance, or call it, a strange twist of fate, Shikaku was the closest one to that fragile soul, so there.
He was raised, along with Shikamaru, and by the protection of Nara clan, to try to become a normal person, to overcome the neglecting effects of his blindness, by only one way possible - becoming a Shinobi.
Shikaku and Yoshino discovered his mental "gift", let's say, when he was training along with Shikamaru, a year later when that misfortunate event occured.
They were instructed to mold chakra, as the first step to chakra control and an understandement upon ninja basics. They were children, after all.
Whilst Shikamaru, even if it was very little, succeeded in molding chakra as his chakra level spiked up a little, Kaidamaru couldn't do it, even when he concentrated harder and harder.
"Aww c'mon, why is it not working? C'mon, C'MON!..." he suddenly stopped making the seal, furious at his first failure.
Well, not exactly.
His head jerked up when he felt a surge of energy rushing, channeling from his brain, to his eyes. His clouded, light-green eyes opened up wide, when suddenly, he felt a sense of relaxation and power.
Shikaku sensed this unusual occurance, and stood up from where he was, and went near Kaidamaru, only to see that...
He was molding chakra...WITHOUT any hand seals.
Shikaku was VERY suprised, to be exact. Only a very few ninjas like Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya the Gama-Sennin and Itachi Uchiha could do techniques that required chakra without any handseals to shape or control it.
He knew that this child would go through a very secluded time of training, probably not joining the usual routine taught at the Academy.
He also didn't know a lot of things, like he was going to be trained by a certain Itachi Uchiha, as he was a master of Genjutsu's that required doujutsu ability, then Kurenai Yuuhi, when Itachi massacred his entire clan.
Anywho, the child went through the same procedure as Shikaku had imagined. After a brief talk with the council, along with the support of Yamanaka-Nara-Akimichi union, the Hyuuga clan, because they felt indebted to this child, the Aburame clan, because they respected his stoic and philosophic attitude, and with the objection of the Inuzuka clan, because they didn't thought a blind ninja was any good at all, and of course, the favourite of everyone, the Uchiha clan, just because Fugaku didn't want this child to be a hindrance to his clan if the kid went angry at them. the child was instructed to train with Itachi Uchiha (Anbu soldier, not captain yet).
He wasn't taught any jutsus at all, for in his case, he couldn't understand and do any hand seals.
Instead, whilst Itachi taught him in the ways of chakra and increasing his sense of hearing and smelling, he taught himself in the ways of jutsu.
Itachi even proclaimed once that, if the kid was stronger than him, he could beat all of the Uchiha clan, included him.
So, when Itachi went exile after his genocide of the Uchiha clan, Kaidamaru was furious with him. He always considered Itachi like an older brother and his best sensei, but he never got to understand why he betrayed his clan like that.
At that accursed night, Kaidamaru smelled the blood sprayed on his uniform, and heard the screams of the dead Uchiha's. When he felt Itachi's singature closing by to his, he got up from his usual training grounds to feel what he was going to say.
"We won't be seeing each other as much as usual, Kaidamaru. You probably know what had happened." Itachi said, his usual emotionless façade up on his face.
"As if I ever really saw you, sensei." Kaidamaru breathed out with a low chuckle. "I really shouldn't be asking you why, since I'm used to learn everything by myself, but still, knowing you, there is more to it that you have done today." He suddenly said, with a serious tone.
"..." Itachi was suprised, yet still, not suprised. The 10 year old kid had learnt his way of selecting words from his example. That's why Kaidamaru saw him as a big brother; he always managed to learn from him, willingly, and mutually.
"I'm not going to say the same things to you, Kaidamaru, for you are more aware and judicious than my foolish little brother is, or ever will be. So, when I say that I don't want you to chase me, I hope you'd know what I mean..." Itachi was suddenly stopped.
"...that there is more than underneath the underneath? Yeah, I understand if you want to run away from me. Darn my inability" Kaidamaru joked. He was told that his Ninja abilities would be disasterous to any Uchiha whom fought him.
Itachi put on one of his rare smiles. He always knew that Kaidamaru would remain his little brother, if not by blood. He was a rare breed indeed. "Goodbye, onii-san. Truth be told, I will miss you...tripping on stones on the road." Itachi joked back(OMGZ!!!)
Then with a flicker of leaves, he was gone...
Two years later, along with the same kind of training Kaidamaru had gotten from a hot-sounding kunoichi named Yuuhi Kurenai, and games of shoji with Shikamaru that SOMEHOW always got tied in a stalemate, the blind kid managed to grow up as a genin by the help of the Hokage after a very untasteful event, that involving a genjutsu which created a HOKAGE'S TOWER loads of illusionary paperwork which even Hokage couldn't dispel.
Kaidamaru was becoming more and more adept on mind-distorting genjutsus, unlike Kurenai, which rather was specialized in offensive Genjutsu. He was getting help from the Yamanaka clan about that, for their clan abilities depended upon that. And since Inoichi lost that one bet which Shikaku won by bringing on three Brothel woman at his house and actually managing to hide them from Yoshino for an entire bleedin' day, Inoichi was debted to afford Shikaku's a year of tea service (yeah, he's a tea freak. Thanks to my brother for that one), or helping Kaidamaru improve in his innate talents.
Needless to say, Inoichi chose to help Kaidamaru.
Ino was getting more and more fond of Sasuke each day, and this got Inoichi nervous. He didn't want his girl to become another soldier of the endless army of fangirls of Sasuke Uchiha. Kaidamaru was aware of this, and after a training session, he approached Inoichi.
" Excuse me, Inoichi-sama, but I can sense your anger, your sadness that involves your daughter. This hinders my concentration, since I don't want one of the greatest Genjutsu user in the world and a great man to be sorrowful over such a trivial matter. If you wish, you can let it all out on me." he suddenly said, then he turned his back on him and slowly started walking back to Nara household.
"WTF???" Inoichi was thinking, and even then he was scared if Kaidamaru could read his mind. He held Kaidamaru by shoulder, and turned his face on his. "How come did you know, Kaidamaru?" he said with a low chuckle. "Sometimes I'm scared of you, you know. At least soften it a bit" he said.
"But I am but a blind kid, Inoichi-sama." he smiled up, his blind gaze never leaving Inoichi's blue eyes. "How can I scare YOU?" he questioned. At that moment, Ino came in.
"Aww maan, I couldn't find Sasuke-kun after that moment that Forehead girl went after him. Oh well, I'll find a wa...hey Dad." Ino said, ignorant of Kaidamaru.
"Ino, where have you been this whole time? It's past curfew for two hours already!" he said, angry at the matter that Ino obviously didn't gave up on Sasuke.
"I'm sorry, dad, I'll be more careful next time...hey, what does that blind boy doing around here Dad? He's looking at me strangely..." Ino came close to his Dad.
Before Inoichi could answer, Kaidamaru took up words "Nice choice of words, hime, I am blind, but that way I look at you, well, maybe it's because I have this curiosity about fangirls and their stupid obsessions with useless guys." he said with a smile.
"DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT SASUKE-KUN LIKE THAT!" Ino shouted up, clearly upset that with his father around, he couldn't just beat him to a bloody pulp, wtih the help of the UNHOLY POWER OF EMO-FANGIRLS (insert spooky music here).
"Calm down Ino" Inoichi said to his daughter, with a serious expression. "His name is Kaidamaru, and I'm suprised that you didn't know him. Shikamaru is like his brother, right Kai...damaru?" Inoichi and Ino looked around, only to see that Kiadamaru was out of sight.
His white, waist long hair was winding up with the warm spring breeze when Kaidamaru was on his way to the Nara household. He had to learn more about this Sasuke.
Shikamaru was not happy to hear, the least, to hear, or even talk about the last Uchiha. He didn't even like the boy when he entered the academy, and his moody attitude was no better at all. Ninjas were supposed to have decency and reason to deal with the changes in life. Needless to say, Sasuke didn't.
He told Kaidamaru all about him, even though it was too troublesome, about his current position in the Academy, the exact number of fangirls his fan club had which, by the way, that knowledge was really difficult to learn as their speed of growth were unmatched (lolz), and most suprising of all, his relations with Itachi Uchiha.
Kaidamaru was shocked, not about the knowledge, but the matter that Itachi didn't call him "foolish little brother", but to Sasuke. "That teme didn't deserve someone as revered and great as Itachi for a brother anyway" Kaidamaru thought, depending upon all the things he learned about Sasuke.
And then, the day came at last that he was ready to enter the genin teams, and begin his career as a ninja. Shikamaru and Kaidamaru excanged one more shoji match, which most suprisingly, the winner was Kaidamaru. He eventually passed in strategical depths of training by beating a lazy-super-genius bum in a match of shoji.
"He must be at least chuunin level in thinking about war strategies by now. Maybe he'll defeat me after all" Shikaku thought before walking up to two new genin with their Konoha hitai-ates worn, one by shoulder and one by forehead.
"Well, well. The years to come will be very interesting with you two together shaping the webs of destiny in Konoha. I know it's just too troublesome to have a final talk with you, so to make the long story short, good luck boys." Shikaku ruffled their hair.
"Troublesome" was all Shikamaru could say.
"Will Ino be there too?" Kaidamaru asked, all too suddenly.
Shikaku raised an eyebrow, holding laughter inside " Why do you ask?" he asked.
Kaidamaru suddenly sulked. "Aw great, that woman is just far too much..."
"Troublesome, right?" Shikamaru asked.
"Indeed, brother, indeed." Kaidamaru sighed.
Along with sending their regards, the two went off at the academy.
PHEW... FLASHBACK NO JUTSU...KAI!!!
He had just seen Sasuke being chased by that horrendous mob of fangirls, mostly being threatened about being glomped down and squeezed cute to death. "I'm glad that I'm not Sasuke" he thought...when at last, he heard some shouting from a class that involved a lot of usage of the words "BELIEVE IT!", monstrous munching of chips, peppered potato flavoured, probably, buzzing of a hive lots of bugs, fangirls screaming about Sasuke as usual, and a real - life banshee that threw some punches(hard ones) to a guy named Naruto apparently.
Shikamaru just sighed and said "That's our classroom. Let's go in."
Kaidamaru had a hysterical look on his face, making him more like a ghost, along with his pale skin and white hair "You've got to be kiddin' me you lazy genius..." he muttered when he was entering the classroom.
END OF PROLOGUE - (insert ending theme here)
YAAYZ! I actually did it :):):):) I can't believe I had it in me. There you go, it's just the prologue, but still, it's actually not boring at all xD
I'm sorry if you guys thought I'd enter at the team selection, but hey, I had to get rid of this introduction my OOC deserved.
Thanks for your future reviews to come. If you guys have any bright ideas, or wishes that concern the Zabuza saga, well I'm all ears xD
Signing off, The Enlightened Florist...
