Rene-Phoenix of the Uchiha

Chapter 1

In the ninja village known as Konohagakure or better known as the village hidden in the leafs (or just Leaf Village for short) while one blonde hair ninja hopeful was painting the Hokage Momunet as his master prank. Another had just finished his breakfast and was leaving the once busy Uchiha compound. The silence that followed him as he walked was a reminder that six years ago Itachi Uchiha had massacred the entire clan leaving only his younger brother ( and Rene's cousin) Sasuke alive. It was pure luck that Rene was training at a far away training ground on the other side of the village that spared him from his older cousins wrath. Over the years his cousin withdrew into himself and swore revenge. Rene on the other flourished learning and mastering new justu and reading scrolls that were withheld to him before. The reason for this had to do with his mother Camilla Uchiha. She had died when Rene was six due an incurable illness. The story goes that years before Camilla had left the Uchiha to purse Rene's father( whose name she never mentioned), she had returned a few years later, heavily pregnant and saying that his father had been killed. She had been let back into the clan (under heavy protest) and less than a month later she gave birth to Rene. But they were both avoided like the plague, they were shunned and lived farthest from the rest of the clan. This did stop Camilla from teaching him the way of the ninja, from the time he could walk she had taught him taijustu styles and charka control exercises.

But as he walked to the ninja academy all of this was in the past for Rene. The academy had been a few odd but enjoyable years for Rene. While most of the class was a random mishmash of names and faces a few stood out.

One was Kiba Inuzuka and his nin puppy Akamaru. He was from the Inuzuka clan who lived with and used there nin dogs for combat purposes. He wore a jacket with a hood (which Rene thought for the longest time was his hair) and had red fang markings on his cheeks. His puppy Akamaru was small enough to fit in the hood of Kiba's jacket and had a white coat of fur. Rene thought that Kiba was a fun if sometimes reckless person, he was a challenge to spar against and his sense of smell was good for stealth training.

Another person was Shino Aburame he had brown hair but his face was covered by dark sunglasses, and a long coat that covered his body. He was from the Aburame clan which used insects for their justu. Rene liked Shino they sometimes studied bugs together, and he swore that he saw Shino smile once when Rene saved an ant that was about to be stepped on.

Then there was Choji Akimichi a rather "big boned" boy who enjoyed snacks. With markings on his face. His clan the Akimichi clan could exapand there body parts. Choji was a nice guy and sometimes shared his snacks with Rene and vice a verse a.

Next was Shikamaru Nara who had hair shaped like a pineapple, and was Choji's best friend. The Nara clan was famous for being geniuses and there shadow justu. But the way Shikamaru found everything "troublesome" and slept in class , he was uncertain of the "genius" part of the clan. On a side note one thing Shikamaru did not find "troublesome" was playing games such as chess or go against Rene, which normally ended in a stalemate.

The next two people where special to Rene, the first was Ino Yamanaka. Who had long blond hair, and blue eyes, and she wore a purple shirt. She was part of the Yamanaka clan that used mind Justus for interrogation purposes. The next was Sakura Haruno who had long pink hair green eyes, and wore a red dress. The thing that stood out most about her large forehead which she hated, Rene on the other hand thought that it only added to her beauty. Yes those two were important to him, as they found him crying the day after his mother's funeral. They had comforted him and soon after they all became frieds. They were always together and they were his truest friends.

He was taken out his thoughts by two shouts of "Rene-kun" he turned to see both Ino and Sakura running up to him. With smiling faces they greeted him and all three made their way to the academy. As they entered Rene stopped as he saw his cousin in the front row.

Sasuke Uchiha and Rene's cousin had hair shaped as some would say like a duck butt (Rene chuckled at that) and he was wearing a gi with the Uchiha fan on the back. In the six years since the massacre he and his cousin had hardly even spoken, Rene had tried but all had gotten in return was a cold stare. While most of the female population thought of him as "cool" and "mysterious" and fought for his attention, Rene knew the truth Sasuke's only goal was his brother's death, and nothing more. Rene gave a sad sigh.

"Are you okay Rene-kun?" Sakura asked Rene turned to her.

"Yeah, Sakura-chan. I'm just thinking." Sakura smiled and turned back to the class.

As Rene returned to glancing over the class room, he spotted Hinata Hyuga. She had short blue hair and pale eyes and always wore a jacket. She was part of the Hyuga clan which had the bloodline of the Byakugan which allowed a person to see through solid objects and in a full 360 degree angle. The thing that interested him about Hinata was that she was shy and timid but all the other Hyuga carried themselves with an air of superiority. (That reminded Rene to much of the Uchiha) He wondered why, but the thing that he could not figure out was why she was carried a (dare he call it) admiration for the resident class clown Naruto Uzumaki.

Naruto Uzumaki, now there was a person that Rene couldn't figure out. He had blond hair and blue eyes and always wore an orange jumpsuit. He was a puzzle wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a ramen loving body. The times he followed him only added to his confusion, as he saw the majority of the village giving him cold looks of fear and hate. (Again this reminded Rene to much of how the Uchiha looked at him) All of this was a mystery that Rene was determined to solve before the Genin exam in two weeks.

Finally there was Rene himself, he had his long black tied in a ponytail and two long bangs that framed his face and wore a simple black gi and blue shorts. He was Rene Uchiha, and the Uchiha clan were the proud co-founders of the Hidden Leaf Village, and also had the blood line of the sharingan which (Unlike the Byakugan which can be used at birth) once activated (It is activated by a life or death situation) gives the user the ability to copy a person's justu, and the user sees things in slows motion. Once it activates it has one tome but through hard work you can get the max of three tomes which improved the sharingan's ability's.

Rene was brought out of thoughts by the door to the classroom busting open to reveal a tied up Naruto and there teacher Iruka Umino. Iruka threw Nartuo and he bounced the stairs until he got to the front. As Iruka got to the front of the class, he spoke.

"Good morning everyone because of someone's foolish antics we are doing to have a pop quiz, and that is to the henge justu. Naruto you're up first."

Naruto rubbed his head and got up with a scowl which changed to a smirk. "Not cool Iruka-sensei, but I'm going pass your stupid quiz. Sexy Technique!" Naruto transformed into a teenage blond girl with blonde pigtails and "her" private areas where only covered by clouds.

The effect was immediate most of the male population got nosebleeds and where thrown back into their seats, even Shino and Saskue had blushes on their faces. The female population was getting angry (minus Hinata who was blushing like mad) so angry that a bit of killing intent filled the room. Iruka was just about to yell at Naruto for being an idiot, when a loud laughing filled the room. He looked up to see that Rene was laughing like mad. Naruto transformed back to himself , and jumped on the desk in front of Rene.

"Hey, why are laughing at my awesome justu!" he shouted at him.

Rene took a moment to control himself. "Look around, you took out a good part of the class with that move, and even got my duck haired cousin to blush, if they were enemies they would have been killed. It's genius!" he finished with a large smile.

"But, Rene-kun why weren't you effected?" Ino asked Rene turned to her

"Why would I want an illusion, when the real thing is right in front of me in an even more beautiful form?" Ino was blushing like mad.

"Rene-kun." She said quietly

"What about me Rene-kun?" Sakura asked

Rene turned to her, "Do you even need to ask, when you my beautiful cherry blossom have a heart as large and beautiful as your forehead."

Sakura ducked her head blushing redder than a sunset. "Rene-kun stop teasing" she complained.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw one of the boys get up from his nosebleed and bump into Naruto, and he fell forward, on a crash course for Rene. Instead of Rene Naruto and his lips smashed into a surprised Hinata. It took her a few seconds but her thoughts came to one conclusion Naruto-kun is kissing me. She fainted on the spot with a goofy smile on her face.

Everyone was silent for a few moments until Naruto shouted, "Iruka-sensei, I think Hinata needs to go to the nurse!"

Iruka shook his head ,a small smile of his face, "No Naruto she'll be fine, just return her to her seat."

"No need Iruka-sensei, I got it." Rene said he used the "Replacement" justu to go back to his seat and send Hinata back to hers.

Iruka coughed into his hand. "Impressive use of the replacement justu Rene, now Naruto find a seat and we can finally begin todays lesson." Naruto hurried to a seat.

At the end of the day Rene, Ino, and Sakura were leaving Rene asked.

"Do either of you two want to train with me?"

"Sorry Ren-kun but I have to watch the flower shop." Ino said

"And my parents are expecting me home sorry." Sakura explained

"It's fine see you two tomorrow." They each gave him hug and a kiss on the cheek and left. When his blush faded (which he was glad that neither of them saw it) he spotted Hinata leaving and ran to catch up to her.

"Hinata!" he yelled as she turned and stopped. He caught up to her, "Hey about today, I swear I didn't mean to embarrass you or anything. It's just that while we both know that Naruto is a lot of things and dense is one of thiem, I hoped that the kiss would make him a little less dense. Are we okay?" Hinata was tapping her fingers and was about to answer when they both heard.

"Hey I have a bone to pick with you ass-" Naruto stopped when he saw Hinata, and he started rubbing the back of his head. "Hey Hinata sorry about today, but hey it was this jerks fault right." His finger pointing at Rene.

Hinata blushed, " I-I-It's fine N-N-Naruto-kun. But I-I-I have to get back for t-t-training bye."

As Hinata left Naruto's gaze landed on Rene. "We still have a score settle."

Rene smiled, "Fine follow me to a training ground."

They both made it to a training ground and took taijustu stances. Right away Rene knew something was up. "Hey Naruto who taught you that stance?"

Naruto gave him a confused look, "The teachers why?"

Rene gave a dark look, So it's not just the villagers than. He then smiled, "Well it needs a little work here let me help you out." Rene helped Naruto fix stance.

"Why are you helping me?" Naruto asked

"It would be too easy for me to kick your butt if I didn't. I want a challenge." Rene smirked

Naruto gave a look of anger and then a smirk. Both boys charged at each other.

It was few hours later and both boys were tried and bruised, Naruto a little bit more than Rene. A thought popped into Rene's head.

"Hey Naruto, do you have any clothes that aren't orange?"

"Why?"

"Well it's just that if you are going to become a ninja than you need a darker wardrobe. Come on I know a place."

They both got up and headed into town, as they walked Rene noticed that the villagers glared at Naruto. Getting tired of it Rene glared right back and most people but their heads down. They made it to a clothing store where Rene got most of his clothes as he entered the store the woman at the counter smile as she saw him, but her eyes turned to slits as her gaze fell on Naruto.

"Uchiha-sama why did you bring that boy into my store?" she sneered

"That boy is my friend and I would suggest you treat him with some respect. Or I will take our business elsewhere. "

They both stared at eachother and the sneer never left her face.

"Fine Naruto lets go somewhere else." They both walked out. Rene's mind was going a mile a minute. What the hell is wrong with these people? Can't they see Naruto's potential I mean he escapes ANBU units for Kami's sake. He must have excellent sneaking skills, which begs the question how Iruka can find him, because if he can that means that he is better at tracking then an ANBU which then leads to the question why is he only a teacher if his skills are that sharp and-. Okay stop, take a breath don't go down the rabbit hole.

"Hey Rene?" Naruto asked

Rene shook his head, "Yeah Naruto?"

"Are we really friends?" he asked almost shyly

"Yeah we are, Naruto. Now do you know a place to eat I'm starving."

Naruto smiled and then his eyes lit up, "I know the perfect place."

Five mintues they were eating at Ichiraku Ramen with Naruto on his twenth bowl and Rene on his tenth. A voice caused them to stop eating.

"Do you mind if I join you?" Both of them turned to see the Hokage in his robes smiling do at them.

Rene smiled "Of course Lord Hokage."

"Go ahead Old Man." Naruto shouted. The Hokage just chuckled at the greeting.
The three ate for a little while longer and Naruto decided he would leave. They both waved to him, as soon as he was out of sight. The owner put the bill infront of the Hokage, and he sweated looking at.
Rene chuckled, "It's okay Lord Hokage I have this one. But I was wondering if I could speak with you in private."

"Of course." He replied

They made their way to the Tower and entered the Hokage's office, and both sat at the desk.

"What do you wish to discuss Rene?" Asked the Hokage.

"I have two questions, the first being. Would it be possible for me to become the Uchiha clan head."

"The Hokage sat up straighter, "Why?"

Rene sighed, "Because we both know, along with both sides of the council that my cousin only cares about his revenge, and we both know that he will do anything to get it. Even if it means betraying the village."

"You know that becoming clan head means you must think about repopulating the clan, so do you have any willing volunteers?" The Hokage finished with what Rene hoped wasn't a chuckle.

Rene whispered something that sound like Perverted old man. "That doesn't matter, but you know I'm right."

The Hokage took a few puffs from his pipe, "I will bring it up at the next council meeting I can promise nothing more, now what was your second question?"

Rene nodded, "Why does everyone in this village hate Naruto?"

The Hokage almost choked on his pipe, "W-W-What?"

"Lord Hokage I am no fool I see the stares and hear the whispers, I want to know why."

The Hokage's face turned to stone, "I am afraid I can't tell you for the safety of the village."

Rene smirked, "So it's an S class secret than, thank you that is all I need to know. But be warned Naruto is my friend and I will defend my friend." As got up from the chair and walked a few steps he chuckled. "He will become Hokage you know, maybe not the fifth or even the sixth, but he will get there and I can't wait to see these people's face when he does. " Rene walked out of the room.

As he did the Hokage was taken back to memory he had with his mother.

Rene had been five at the time and he was hitting a log under the supervision of his mother. Her long black hair was waving in the slight breeze, a small smile worked its way onto her face.

"Lord Hokage you are becoming more like your student watching women without their knowledge." The Hokage came into her field of view. "Hello Lord Third"

"Camilla" The Hokage said simply. They both watched Rene for a few moments. "He is impressive."

Camilla smiled, "Yes I am proud, he would be as well."

The Hokage turned to her, "You never say his name, you know."

Camilla smiled again, "That is because names have power Lord Hokage, take my son for instance his name is Rene meaning Reborn, because I hope he will be able to help the clan stop going down the path of destruction it is now, or if it comes to it, rebuild the clan from the ground up"

The Hokage took a few more puffs from his pipe, You might have been right about your son Camilla.
