Chronicles of Jikamaru

Jikamaru woke up in a cold sweat. The same dream again, he thought.

He was having this reoccurring nightmare, in it he had black chidori activated and he pierces some woman's chest. He could never see her face because it was blurred out. He checked his alarm clock, Five o'clock. Today is the day, he thought.

Jikamaru has been training since he was 13 for this day. The day he would kill his father and avenge his mother. He got up out of his cot and got dressed. His skin was tanish(like kumo nin) his hair was a lot like madara's in length and the shape his face was a blend of Madara, X, and his mother, Masumi. His build was lithe, He was wearing a black tight no sleeve undershirt with a black and red uchiha robe over it (much like madara's). He had fingerless black gloves with a metal plate across the back of the hand. He had on black shinobi pants with bandages wrapped around his ankles with ninja tabi on his feet and black socks.

He grabbed his kabuki oni mask and stared at it. The oni mask was a steel black and had tusk like fangs and two horns. If you thought of a demon this would be it. This mask would be his only way to conceal his identity, he put it on and grabbed his prized weapon, Yami. Yami was a black bladed katana that was spiritually connected with the demon inside him, Hakai. Yami's hilt was gold with two dragons wrapped around it fighting each other. The handle was black with a gold bottom and demons were painted on it, they looked as if they are dancing with glee. He strapped Yami onto his back and walked out of his private room, He walked out into his living room. He walked into the kitchen area and opened the cupboard.

Jikamaru's mouth began to water as he eyeballed the delicious spicy beef shrimp cup ramen. He used a small fire jutsu and started boiling some water then he put the boiling water in the cup ramen and did pushups while reading Ninja Tactics, the new edition by Kakashi Hatake. After the ramen was ready, he inhaled then left his small but Comfortable home. He walked down the steps of the apartment like area of the Uchiha compound. He was in the village hidden in the darkness. Even though everybody in this village knew who he was he still decided to keep the mask on because he wasn't sociable, he'd rather be left alone.

He was on his way to gather his team. The first person he was going to fetch was his Sensei. Jikamaru was walking through the peaceful village of Kurayamigakure. It was founded by his ancestor Madara Uchiha after his "death". The village was now led by his grandfather and his great uncles, they were the council and shogunate of the village. Jikamaru arrived at a small but comfortable looking cottage, he knocked on the door and it swung open. Jikamaru stared with an expressionless face at the man he came to look up to as a father. Hakuza, He was about three inches taller than Jikamaru with a bald cut and wore a Kabuto mask(only covered the bottom of his face) so Jikamaru only ever saw his eyes. He always wore bandages because his skin was scarred from burns from the past. As he breathed in and out Jikamaru could hear it and a white mist left his mask.

"Good, you're up early. I hope you perform well, All the teaching and training will be for nothing if you die Youngling. If you can defeat your father We will then contact Hakai and get you both on good terms." Exclaimed Hakuza.

"Then it's a plan Hakuza-sensei, I'll be waiting at the front gate. Collect the rest of team Hakai and meet me there in an hour and a half." Stated Jikamaru expressionlessly.

Jikamaru was at the front gate with a cup full of ramen when his team arrived. "Jikamaru-senpai!" Exclaimed Tsuki while squeezing the life out of him. Her actions made Jikamaru spill some of his ramen and his face grew cold instantly.

Tsuki was a vibrant ball of energy who had an obsession with Jikamaru. Her skin was pale with hair tied in a ponytail and was as black as the night sky. Tsuki was from the village hidden in the mist, so naturally she was just as dangerous as her teammates. She had a fishnet outfit on with an anbu chest plate and anbu pants over it, she also had shinobi sandals on and two ninjato strapped to her back. Her anbu mask looked like an unhappy witch or a terrified woman.

"Jikamaru, I hope you're prepared because I am ready to kick some ass." stated Yoru loudly. Yoru was Jikamaru's cousin, his most trusted friend, and second strongest rival (in his eyes the first). He wasn't a pale white, but he was white. His hair was spiked up like he went skydiving and he always had this cocky smirk on his face like he knew he was unstoppable. He was 18 but looked Jikamaru's age. He smelled of cigarette smoke and sake. He had the three tomoe sharingan and had unlocked the mangekyou but chose not to use it unless necessary. He was wearing a black and gray cloak with the Uchiha symbol on the back of it. Under the cloak he had on a black armor plate that covered his chest and back area. His pants we a dark blue shinobi pants and he had them tucked in his black lightweight combat boots. He had a large sword the looked like Zabuza's blade but it was a obsidian black and the metal it was made out of was much lighter, making it easier to use. His mask looked like a cyclops or a one eyed goliath.

"I want you all to know that there is a chance that none of us will return. We may be killed and studied for our power or we will prevail and crush my father and his village. Either way i want you all to know that I will die for any of you and wouldn't rather have anyone else by my side. Now let's go, there is a murderer waiting for us." Stated Jikamaru. They then disappeared as they started their journey.

X's alarm went off at five o'clock. He woke up groggily. Another day, he thought.

X got out of bed and did one thousand pushups and situps, he then did his daily 3 mile full sprint through the village hidden in the clouds. After he finished is morning workout he took a shower.

While he was in the shower he started thinking about his son Jikamaru. One day Jikamaru will come to me and i will convince him to join me and teach him how to control his darkness . He will be the ultimate weapon. If Masumi wouldn't have taken him so early i might have been able to get him under my control, but he was to young and the process could have killed him. Thought the Raikage.(means leader of the village of Kumo). He was in deep thought when he heard a subtle, but noticeable knock at his door.

"Raikage-sama are you ready to receive your first documents that need to be signed or rejected?" Asked X's assistant Akimi.

Akimi was beautiful and loyal with a light tan skin color and dirty blond hair that went down to her lower back. She was deceptive and one of the most dangerous ninja in the village and she was X's insurance plan. If he was to die or to be out for any reason, she would run the village and she was also his personal bodyguard. "Yes i am. I'll be out in a minute." Replied X.

X got out the shower and dried himself off and dressed himself in nothing but spandex pants, arm weights, ninja tabi, a white loincloth, and his kage robes. He walked out of the bathroom and went to his office. He sat down and began to look through his documents when an anbu shunshined into the room. "Hokage-sama, there are four unknown ninja who are on the way to the village. Three are anbu level with the fourth sitting right at kage level." Exclaimed the ninja

"Send B team to handle them, A team stays with me. I want you to also scout the enemy and bring back a report of their abilities." Stated X firmly.

The anbu disappeared and a team of four anbu appeared in front of X's desk.

"Hokage-sama are you sure you don't want us to handle it? We are the best team in kumo."Stated Raijin, the leader of the group.

Raijin was the leader of A team and the most skilled anbu in the corps. His mask was a smiling face with black streaks going down the eyes to the cheek with the kanji for lightning on the forehead. Raijin was Jikamaru's age, He was powerful and skilled with a blade, His talent was his natural affinity for Lightning Release. His codename was Puppet. Behind him was Sanda, the Lieutenant and second strongest of the group, his mask was a lion that had the kanji for thunder on the forehead. He was Raijin's brother and had the Storm Release ability equalling him with Raijin. His codename was Braveheart. Standing beside Sanda with his arms crossed was Arashi. Arashi was the most skilled swordsman in the anbu, not even Raijin could beat him with just kenjutsu. He had two katanas strapped to his back and he wore a dragon anbu mask with the kanji for storm on the forehead. His codename was Ronin. The final person in the room was Doshaburi. Doshaburi was leaning against a side wall in the kage office daydreaming. He didn't seem like a threat but his suiton jutsu could kill a squad of anbu in seconds. His mask was a crying face with the kanji for downpour on the forehead. His codename Kanashimi.

"No, I want you and your team to stay with me just in case B team fails." Stated X firmly.

"Hai Hokage-sama." Stated Raijin defeatedly.
