There is a legend. Ever since the dawn of the shinobi, they have fought unarmed and is said to walk the path of the undefeated. They are the Shura. The people call their techniques...Mutsu Enmei-Ryuu.
The dark skies rumbled ominously as the rain drizzled along the cold, hard ground. There was an air of urgency and danger in this night. A young man that couldn't have been more than 24 smiled carelessly during this night as he walked through street. He suddenly stopped to stare at the sky with up turned, closed eyes.
"Hacha hacha...it seems like I have work for me~"
As he said this, a man nearly invisible from the darkness of night came sprinting down. As he got closer it became apparent he wasn't doing any law-abiding work as over his shoulder was a young girl, no more than four years old. This ninja without knowing had chosen the worst possible route to take.
The Kumo-nin had spotted the young man and after making a split-decision decided he couldn't leave any witnesses. He reached into his clothing and deftly took out his kunai and flicked it at him with top speed as he came within a few yards of his position. Luckily that guy was totally distracted, just looking at the sky.(He actually thought it was just some loony at first considering it looked like he was talking to himself)
Suddenly in a flash he saw the world go upside down, felt a sharp piercing pain in the back of his neck, and then finally the blackness of death washed over him. The young man stood smiling at the little girl he was cradling in his left arm. His eyebrows raised slightly and said to her,"Hacha~~ A scary guy is coming~"
Hyuuga Hiashi came barreling down from a corner intending to surprise the kidnapper. As he turned sharply, he looked to see a young man in a traditional dogi(white top/blue bottom) standing above what looked to be the Kumo ninja with his neck protruding out from an odd angle. Hiashi slowly walked over to him keeping his guard up. He stood about a meter away from him and stared him down with cold eyes.
The martial artists with his mysterious smile and bright eyes said cheerfully,"Ah ah I guess this cuu~te girl is yours. I kinda went a bit overboard with this guy." Unamused, Hiashi stared down the man holding his daughter and demanded coldly to explain the situation.
Replying in a somewhat boastful voice he said,"Well he seemed to be a bad guy when he threw this knife at me" he lifted his left hand gently to show the kunai the kumo nin had thrown. "I had side stepped and twisted my body towards him so I was directly in front of him. Theeen I while holding the little missus here grabbed the front of his shirt flipping him around and kicked his neck which inadvertently broke his neck. Hacha~ nearly forgot, here's your girl."
He carried her gently with both arms at that point and caringly left her in the arms of Hiashi. Setting his back straight, the young man smiled despite his cold gaze. Suddenly the ice king broke his harsh expression, chuckling loudly and a smile was brought to his face. "Heh, I like you, now please tell me the name of my child's savior."
Smiling, the young man cheerfully answered,"Mutsu Akio."
Something seemed to tick in Hiashi's head and suddenly stared in amazement at Akio. This had become what history would later mention be the beginning of the Mutsu and Hyuuga relationship.
A/N: Going to stay with this story until at least I hit the shippudden arc which then i'll have to actually know's going on with the story x_x; Points goes to people that have watched or read this series. Anywho random tidbits of info about the fanfic.
Akio means Husband/Manly/Heroic.
This story will be changed in a variety of ways and will definitely have more closeness at the early stages of naruto and hinata's life. I just have a question / poll for readers who will be interested.
Would you prefer me to go straight to the start of Naruto or write /focus on their early life.
Want Akio to somewhat train Naruto/Hinata early on[which will be put in the category of option #2 for the first question]
