Prologue
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, Kishimoto does. I only own the OC that I came up with.
A/N: Hello, this is a work in progress. This is my first story. I know there will be many mistakes and issues. If you find any please comment and let me know. For this this story I found inspiration from another story on here a few months back. I would link the story here but I have not re-found the story. I have had this written out for a few months and I have only now gotten to really do anything with this. English isn't my first language, so I apologize for any grammatical errors you may find in this rendition of the story. Feel free too let me know what you like and dislike and any constructive criticism you may have.
Death comes for everyone. The one thing that every living creature under this blue sky has in common. The fear of death has driven mankind to unparalleled heights. Pushed fellow man to do amazing things.
Not me. I was a coward in the face of death. Death stares at me in the face. I didn't fight back. All I did was stare back too scared to even breath. Bang! I was fated to death before I even saw the flash of the gun. Before I even heard the gun my life was sealed to death.
Laying on the floor with a hole in my chest all I could think about was if I had taken out the trash. It was funny truly it was. In my last moments of life I wasn't thinking about my wife or my family. No I was thinking about the trash. I was thinking about how I had just given my wife more work to do that day.
It had been a sunny day. Regular enough, nothing out of order to make me believe that it would be my last. I had gotten up early hugged my wife goodbye and walked out the door heading for my car. It was the usual routine, open the car door, throw in my lunch bag , get in start the car.
I had made my way to pick up my usual morning coffee from My local café before I headed into work. Who would have known that my favorite drinking place would have been robbed that day?
With the light fading out, I saw the people rushing above me trying to save me. Out of all of the shadows only one stood out. A creature that I could only make out it's eyes. His cursed yellow eyes with black pupils.
He reached out and grabbed me. Pulling me off of the floor. Nobody reacted to what the man was doing. It hit me then that they couldn't see me or the man. I looked down in horror when I realized I was being pulled out of my own body.
"Do not worry child, I'm here to guide you into the next life" it snickered out in a deep voice.
"Who are you?" I managed to croak out.
Looking intently into his eyes, I started to take the man in as a whole. It had purple skin, long wild white hair that covered most of its head. It had a blade bite down in between his large sharp teeth. It wore what looked to be a large white robe that hanged off the creature.
"I'm your savior. Your second chance. I'm your God. I am the Shinigami"
Everything around me seemed to explode into a fiery hell. I was surrounded by a wall of flames that touched the darkening sky. With a twisted smile the Shinigami plunged it's blade into my heart. The fire seemed to seep into me through his sword.
Feeling the fire as it ravaged its way through my body, I screamed a soundless cry. All I heard was the twisted laugh of the entity in front of me. It found pleasure in my unfathomable pain.
"This is only the beginning of your pain, only the beginning. It must be done in order for your body and soul to be adapted into this world."
Those words were the last thing I heard before I was plunged into the darkness.
I had awoken to the startling cries of a baby. I tried looking around me but all I felt was the pain radiating all over my unresponsive body. It was then that I realized I was the one who was crying. My realization feed into my cries when I fell into a despair.
It was then that I was being lifted up by a strange woman in white. I was being handed to a woman laying in bed. Her long black hair covering half of her face. She had a soothing smile. A radiating warmth.
I felt myself calming down. I felt intrigued by the women in front of me. But it was her eyes that turned my intrigue to pure curiously. This woman had pearl white eyes and no pupils. As I was delivered into her warm arms I gave into the warmth and fell asleep.
For the next 6 months it felt like a drowsy stupor. Fading into sleep and eating. Everything was a blur. I found myself weak. I couldn't do the most basic tasks.
After those first few months I found myself able to look at the world around me. There were many people constantly coming and going checking in on me and and what I figured was my mother. It took me almost 5 months to realize that my name was Hiroaki. I still couldn't understand most of what the people around me said but I was getting better at deciphering what the were saying to me.
It had been almost 10 months after I was reborn before I could begin to move around by myself. On my first expedition out of my nursery I found myself face to face with a tall man. With Long black hair. He kneeled down looking into my eyes with his pupiless eyes.
It hit me like a truck. I was facing Hiashi Hyūga. THE Hiashi Hyūga from one of my favorite shows that I grew up with as a child. In my horror, I had fainted before I had a chance to process what had happened.
I had awoken mentally cursing the Shinigami. He had doomed me into a life of servitude and death at the hands of what people might call gods in my own world. He had spoken of a second chance. A new life where I might be able to live a peaceful life. Instead he had thrown me into a world in cycle of constant war and peace. A world where only the strong survived.
Needless to say my mother had not left my side since I had fainted. She looked sick with worry. Cradling me in her arms as I cried for days at my misfortune. After the 5th day I stopped crying. I had barely noticed my mother did not have the seal across her head!
Relief washed over me in seconds. I was getting my hopes up once again. I might not be forced into a life of servitude to the Main Branch of the family. As soon as my stubby legs could take me I made my way to a mirror. Lo and behold there was no seal on me either!
I laughed in pure excitement! The possibilities were endless! I wasn't tied down into slavery I could do what I wanted! I was only tied down by my own willpower, to my own desires. Only my strength could hold me back.
In my previous life, I lived an underwhelming life. For all of my potential, I was forced to squander away my youth helping my family by working odd jobs here and there. I was always held down by responsibilities to help get the family by.
I was truly blessed in this life. I wouldn't have to work to prove my existence to the world. Everyday wouldn't be a struggle just to survive.
I would have time to figure out what I wanted, I would get to truly live.
Time Skip: 1 year
Beginning of 3rd Shinobi War
Kakashi:10 Chunin
Obito-Rin:10 Genin
Itachi:3-4?
Author's Note: The war has not yet reached the point where Obito dies. Countries are beginning to prepare for war. This is more for Reference sake. The timeline Is really fucked up and trying to decipher it accurately without plot holes is near impossible. Kakashi is supposed to be 10 years older than Itachi. He was 12 when Obito died and Itachi would have been 2 . When The Kyuubi attacks Kakashi is 14 making Itachi 4-5. The Wikia states that the war traumatized Itachi into his goals for peace. Except he would have been too young. So by making Itachi 2 years older it gives him a bigger time frame to be in the war. So when Naruto graduates Kakashi will be 26-27 and Itachi would be 17-19. Hiroaki would end up being 15-17.
"For god sakes, He's only just turned two! Please he's not old enough to begin any training! Hiashi-kun please!"
"Enough Haru-chan! There's war going on. We can't risk there being any weak links in the Hyūga! They cannot get a hold of one of us.. Not again. Hiroaki will grow up in an age of war. We need to get him stronger..The Third Shinobi War won't stop to let him grow up with a normal childhood."
I turned and looked at my mother. With deep sorrow in her eyes she turned away. Hiashi grabbed my hand and escorted me to the training ground. As we walked the other Hyūga looked down upon me. With pity in their eyes they continued on their way.
Time Skip: 2 years
Hiroaki: 4 years
In those two years, my mother in this world had been sent on to the front lines. She hadn't made it back. Her team was ambushed escorting supplies back into an outpost near the Land of Fires border.
After that day I was left orphaned. Hiashi took it upon himself to take me into his family. As soon as I turned three years old he began to instruct me in our clans katas and stances. I'm not going to lie when I say I was a huge disappointment.
Compared to the likes of Itachi Uchiha I was a failure. Hiashi had not sent me to the academy. He wanted my growth to be as fast as possible. Stating that the academy would only slow me down.
As driven as I was I simply could not perform the katas as he wanted me too. In my previous life I was not much of a fighter. To be exact I had been in zero fights. I had always found my way out. I had an athletic build, I just didn't have the proper flow to my movements.
"Run them again. This time I want you to go as fast as possible."
I went through the stances for the hundredth time that day. Half way through I messed up the follow through and tumbled to the floor.
" *Sigh* Do you even know the stances Hiro-kun? Your speed is impressive for your age but you mix up your stances with others and your strikes don't have nearly enough force behind them."
"I know them Hiashi-sama, it's just… I'm sorry. I'll do better next time.." I looked away feeling dejected that I still couldn't get the stances done properly after three long years of training.
"It's fine Hiro-kun, your training has been coming along nicely. You are ahead of everyone else in your Chakra lessons and no one rivals you with shurikenjutsu. You just have to learn how to apply all of your knowledge in the real world. Now go on, practice is over you can return to your studies."
I promptly took off running back to the Clans Library to continue on my Chakra theory. It had become by far my favorite subject to learn about. The way it felt using was exhilarating. It was like taking a Monster and a Red bull at the same time.
Whenever my body began to feel tired I just pulled chakra into my muscles and I felt better than new. I could run for much longer than I could in my previous life. When I first began to use it, it felt like nothing I had known before. Imagine the feeling of a warm liquid running along side your blood. Constantly running through your body.
" This must be why Naruto was always so energetic! If I feel so antsy and full of energy when my chakra reserves are high I could not even imagine what Naruto feels when he has an entire ocean of Chakra compared to my small puddle. I don't blame the kid for not being able to sit down and learn anything. I have to go through my morning exercise and Juuken practice before I can settle down to learn any book material."
Among the Hyūga I was an outcast. All main branch members avoided me except for Hiashi-sama and his wife. Even the branch house members had apparently refused to serve me. None of the instructors wanted to teach me either. It had plagued my thoughts when I had first begun to notice their behavior. It was the reason why Hiashi had to personally train me.
I had always thought it was because I was orphaned. I thought that they avoided me because I was a bad omen. I had even begun to think that they had found out that I wasn't meant to be in this world. Even the young Hyūga children had been instructed to only talk to me if it was required of them.
The only friend I had my age was a young Raven haired boy. I would often have to sneak out of the compound to meet him in the forest. We had always come to the same small clearing to do some training. He would help me fix my accuracy with kunai and shuriken. In exchange I would try and help him with chakra control.
It hadn't taken long for me to become introverted. I kept to myself because it was easier then having to deal with people who clearly didn't want me to be their. I had to teach myself everything. There was only so much time Hiashi had.
It also didn't help that I had not unlocked my Byakugan yet. Even most of the other kids our age could use theirs. That was the reason I was not very good with the Juuken. Even though my eyes were much sharper than they were in my last life it was not enough. I couldn't fix every small minuet detail that I was doing wrong.
While I had more than enough speed and power to execute the Jūken, I lacked the flow and grace that made the style work well. That's the reason I had decided to focus solely on Ninjutsu. I know how that sounds. A Hyūga abandoning Taijutsu and focusing on Ninjutsu?!
It made sense to me to learn as many useful jutsu as I could until I successfully awakened my Byakugan. Why should I waste my efforts on something I wouldn't be able to use correctly until I had my eyes? It made more sense to focus on things I could improve more than bog myself down. That's why I was so eager to get to the library today.
It was the first day I began to learn Ninjutsu.
Like everything else so far in this world, I found myself extremely disappointed. I began to curse the Shinigami for giving me this terrible luck of mine. Hiashi-Baka had told me he had handpicked amazing jutsu for me to learn. When I arrived at the Library, the old woman named Aki handed me the scrolls Hiashi-Baka left for me to learn.
The amazing jutsu he had left were Lo and behold, none other than the Kawarimi , Henge , and the Bunshin no Jutsu. In my infinite rage, I marched into his office and slammed the scrolls on his desk.
"HOW ARE THESE IN ANY WAY AMAZING?!"
Hiashi adopted a confused look on his face. Hizashi turned to face me and asked:
"What scrolls did you give him?" staring at Hiashi with a quizzical look.
"I left him the Academy Jutsu, but that's more than any child his age is learning."
Hizashi bursted into a giggling fit.
"THAT'S NOT FUNNY HIZASHI-BAKA!"
"Now, now calm down Hiro-kun. Believe it or not you have to learn the basics before you can move on to being a good ninja. They are there to teach you how to mold the chakra in specific ways and to teach you how to properly do hand signs. When you have completely mastered these academy jutsu I will allow you to learn another jutsu I pick out for you. If you can master these techniques in 3 months I will teach you the Shunshin no Jutsu with another D-Rank Jutsu."
" *sigh* Okay"
Picking up the scrolls Hiroaki walked out Hiashi's office and headed to his personal "training ground" in the forest. Reaching the grounds he set down the scrolls and opened up Kawarimi no Jutsu scroll.
"This is going to take forever..Hiashi had a point though. I need to start somewhere and what better way than to start with the academy jutsu. Hopefully i'm not as hopeless as i am in Taijutsu."
Time Skip: 3 months later
"The first thing you have to remember is to NEVER lose sight of where you are going. Since you are just beginning, moving this fast WILL disorient you. DO NOT lose focus or you can end up hurting yourself badly. Now this jutsu only requires the Tiger Hand Seal. Remember how the Kawarimi no Jutsu feels in terms of of trying to replace yourself with another object, think of moving to what you have locked on too. Remember, this Jutsu takes more chakra. Begin"
With the Tiger Hand Seal in place, Hiroaki began to mold his chakra. *Poof* Smoke erupted from Hiro's last position. *Splash* Hiro reappeared 10 meters too far ahead, he ended up puncturing the surface of the pond and embed himself into the floor.
Pulling himself out of the water, Hiro began to cough up water. " What did I do wrong, Hiashi-sensei ?"
" You performed the Jutsu well you just have to get used to the amount of speed that you are traveling at. That is why you missed your landing spot and crashed into the pond. You kept the jutsu activated for too long as well."
Hiashi turned around and began walking away.
"I have to attended to Clan business now. I'll come back and see how your training is doing by the end of the day."
Hiroaki began walking to his usual spot in the forest. "I have to ask him if he he can help me learn this jutsu like he helped me with the academy jutsu."
"Hiro-kun, how did your training session go?"
"Oh you know, about the same as usual. My sensei left me with the basic information needed. Do you think you could help me with this Jutsu as well?"
It had been a little over two years since I had ran into Itachi training in the woods. Seeing another instrumental character from Naruto was exciting. I could barely keep my excitement in check when I had approached him.
I had remembered how the Hyūga and the Uchiha did not like each other. So I had approached him with an offer. I would help him with his chakra control, if he could help me in other areas I needed help him. He was skeptical at first. After I taught him how to successfully stand on a tree he decided to help me as well.
"You know, why don't you train with your family Itachi-kun? I would imagine the Mighty Uchiha would help you get stronger."
"My father is busy with the Police Force and the others not in the Police Force are in the Frontlines. It's easier if I just train here and supplement things with the Academy teachings."
" When are you going to graduate Itachi-kun? The academy doesn't have high standards you know."
Itachi stopped throwing his kunai and looked at just stared at me for a moment and went back at throwing his Kunai.
" My father has forbade me from graduating until next year. When are you going to enter the academy? You are technically behind everyone else your age."
Dropping the smirk on my face. I glanced down at the scroll in front of me.
"Hiashi-Sama wants me to enter the academy when I turn 5 or 6. I think he wants me to completely miss the war going on. Especially after my mother's death.."
Picking up the scroll, I pocketed it and began to build my chakra.
"Shunshin no Jutsu!"
"Evening, Hiro-kun. How was your day?"
"It was productive Oji-sama. I was wondering. Could I join the Academy this year? Other Clan children are joining my age."
*Sigh* "Everything is not so simple Hiro-kun. You are the only male born to the male family this generation. We can't risk you being sent into a war. I promised your Kaa-chan that I would keep you safe when she left to the front lines. "
"Please Oji-sama, I can't bear to be here anymore. Everyone avoids me except for you and Oji-San. I want friends. Please let me sign-up. I'll do whatever you say!" I looked at him with a pleading look in my eyes.
I had gotten very bored at the compound. Everyday would be the same. Hiashi and/or Hizashi would give me a quick lesson and I was left on my own. I could only see Itachi on days he wasn't too busy at the academy. It would be okay if I was allowed access to more scrolls and more jutsu.
Hiashi had put a stop to that quickly. He imposed bans on all potential dangerous scrolls until I graduated from the academy. He reasoned that even though my chakra control was more than enough to learn many of the jutsu, he thought I would not be patient and responsible enough to be entrusted into handling the Ninjutsu.
"Fine, but I don't want you to graduate to early HIro-kun. There is war and not enough shinobi to be sent to the front lines. They would send you supply runs since your smaller and seen as a disposable assets. I will handle the forms tomorrow. Classes begin in a month's time. Use this time to review the basic skills you already have."
"Thank you Oji-sama! You have no idea how much this means to me."
Getting up Hiroaki went back to his room and layed down. "Okay, now that I'm in the academy I have to graduate faster than I wanted too. Now that I have been giving a second chance what am I supposed to do with it. Why did the Shinigami bring me here? I know I have to become stronger… What's my purpose here?"
Suddenly it hit him. "Why don't I just ask the Shinigami? Minato summons him to seal the Kyuubi! I just have to be there when he does! Then I can ask the damn demon in person! That means I have to survive until the Kyuubi attacks. I can't change anything that happens. Obito has to unleash the Kyuubi no Kitsune.."
*Sigh* "That can't be to hard right?"
Time Skip: 1.5 years
Hiroaki:6 Academy Student
Itachi:8 Genin
Kakashi:13 Jounin
Obito: "Deceased"
Rin: Deceased
Anko:10 Academy Student
2 Weeks before Iwagakure Massacre
"Hyūga-San report!" bellowed out a deep voice from in front of the classroom.
Lifting his head up from the table, Hiro yawned.
"What did you say Soka-sensei?"
Killer intent began to wash all around the small room. The tall, dark haired man grew angrier and angrier. In a smoky haze, the man appeared in front of the still yawning Hyūga. He reached and grabbed the boy.
"You will run 50 laps around the Academy for snoozing away in class. Now pay attention or you will have an 'accident' on your way home today. Am I making myself clear?"
"Y-yes sen-sensei"
"As I was saying, our shinobi reserves in the village have been at an all time low. Usually a Genin Team would be responsible for this next assignment given to us but it has been deemed to be safe enough for us to handle it. Next week we will be delivering food rations and water supply to a supply outpost near the Capital."
Silence reigned over the small classroom. Only 6 students remained in the advanced course. Many of the older students were put into Genin teams and sent out to the front lines. The ones left behind were to remain in the city to do D-ranks until there were openings in Chunin and Genin teams.
"Are we graduating early this year?" Spoke a purple haired girl.
"No, this is a real mission. Fortunately for you students, there is not an immediate need for you in combat. That doesn't mean the same for me. As a Chunin I still have to do missions, there is only one Genin team available in the village at the moment. Due to the size of the shipment we need more people to transport. That's were you 6 come into play. All you will be required to do is help move the supplies and help deliver them. With me and the Genin team it should be more than enough to provide protection. We are too deep in Hi no Kuni to be attacked."
A black haired boy quickly rose to his feet. " But Soka-sensei, my parents would never let me go on a real mission when we haven't even graduated yet."
"You are all here to be Shinobi of the Konohagakure! We need those who will be willing to lay down their lives for their village. If you don't want to do that then get out of my class. Now!"
The students all looked at each other. The black haired boy and two other got up and grabbed their things and left the room.
"Hyūga-San you need to get permission from Hiashi-Sama in order for you to go. Mitarashi-San you're an orphan the choice is yours to make. Kenta-San, ask your parents . Keep this in mind, if you all decide to follow through and complete this mission. I will recommend you all for graduation to the Hokage. Dismissed"
Leaving the stunned students in silence, Soka went to report to the Sandaime Hokage.
"Are you going to go Anko-San? I know me and Hiro-san will end up going. We are the strongest students here after all" said Kenta ending with a smirk.
"Tsch, you're the oldest one here Kenta-Baka. I'm 10, Hiro-kun is 6 and you're 12. Why are you still in the academy?" Anko finished by giving a glare at Kenta.
"You know, fighting isn't going to get us anywhere. Are you going to be able to do it Kenta? I know civilian families are less willing to part with children."
"Oh please, I could say the same about you Hiroaki-SAMA. I doubt your Ojisan will be willing to let you go." Kenta said with a sneer.
"I'll be here when we leave, what excuse will you have civilian?" I quickly replied. Not giving him a chance to respond I began walking toward the door.
"NO! That's the end of this discussion. Now go to your room before I bar you from training!" Hiashi roared to the long brown haired boy in front of him.
"Ojisan, please if I can do this simple supply mission I will be allowed to graduate. If I do graduate this early it will only reflect brightly on the Hyūga dominance. Imagine what the village would say! A young Hyūga who hasn't unlocked his byakugan beat out the Uchiha with a younger academy graduate!"
The council members in the back started to whisper. " The boy makes a point. The Uchiha have been seen as superior with more of their children going into the shinobi ranks. With Hiroaki graduating, it would give us more leverage in the council meetings."
*Sigh* Hiashi looked over to his younger brother and then his wife. Looking back to Hiroaki, he adopted a serious and stern look. Hiashi began to speak out loud , silencing the whispers of the Hyūga council.
"Fine. You will be representing the entire Hyūga clan in this mission. Don't bring shame to us. Now run along Hiroaki."
Taking my leave, I went to the Hyūga Training Field to work on my new Jutsu. "The war should be ending soon. I wish the show would have gone into more detail in the war. I can't seem to remember much other than Kakashi losing his teammates."
The following morning, Hiro jumped up from bed and went to get ready for his day. Pulling his long brown hair into a ponytail, Hiro dressed in black Shinobi pants, a black long sleeve shirt and a white robe with a black sash around the waist. Putting on his standard tool pouch on his his left leg, Hiro pulled out his backpack and headed out to the academy.
While heading to the Academy, Hiro spotted Anko up ahead. Breathing in deep, Hiro shifted into the famous Hyūga mask. "Hello, Anko-san." Hiro continued walking at his idle pace.
"HOW'S IT GOING HIRO-KUN?! ARE YOU EXCITED FOR THE MISSION?" Anko basically screamed right into Hiro's ear.
"Please, keep it down Anko-san. If you keep talking that way you'll wake half the village. As for your questions. I'm fine. I'm quite excited to finally be able to go outside the village." As Hiro finished he let a small smile creep on to his face.
"That's good to know! At least you're not a coward Hiro-kuuun." She teased with a laugh. Pushing her bangs out her sight she bolts down the road toward the academy.
"I don't appreciate you trying to sneak up on me Kenta-San." Hiro said aloud to no one in particular.
"Those eyes of yours are handy Hiro-san." Kenta replied as he came out of the alleyway next to Hiroaki.
"It wasn't my eyes that gave you away. It was your Kami-awful smell." Hiro replied keeping the Hyūga mask on.
Kenta gave a scowl. "I didn't know Hyūga made jokes"
"We don't" Hiro ended with a smirk. Ending the conversation, Hiro leapt on the roof of a nearby building and leapt toward the Academy. Hiro still remembered when he first learned to leap from trees to trees. It had been a very painful experience.
"Now today is the first step toward the rest of your shinobi careers. You three won't be having a graduation ceremony. The Hokage has authorized a special decree. If you lot successfully complete this assignment, you will all be allowed to become Genin." Soka looked over his students with pride in his eyes.
"Excuse me Soka-sensei, but who will be our Jōnin-sensei?" Asked a clearly intrigued Hiroaki.
"That has not been decided yet. It may be some time before a Jōnin will become available to take on students. In any case, you three will be on call to substitute for other Genin until a Jōnin comes to lead your team. Met me tomorrow at the Hokage Tower 7:30 a.m. Dismissed."
Next Morning
Hiro looked into the mirror. "This life. I can't be a failure. I will get past this mission. I will come back. I won't die this time." Grabbing his supplies, Hiro walked to the Hizashi's house.
"Oisan what brings you by so early?"
"I just wanted to say goodbye to little Neji."
"Ah, please come in. He's in the nursery."
Hiro made his way over to Neji's room. Stepping inside, he made his way over to the sleeping boy's crib.
"I'll be going now little one. I'll come back and tell you if my adventures outside the village. I'll see you soon."
Hiro stepped out of his uncle's house. Performing the tiger seal, Hiro poofed out of the compound.
*POOF*
"Wow! You know Shunshin?!" Anko shrieked as I landed in front of the waiting team.
"I know more than I let on Anko-San." I turned away looking too see if Soka-sensei was anywhere in sight. "Has Kenta arrived yet?" I mused aloud.
"No. There both late." Anko said with annoyance in her voice. Pushing her bangs aside, she let out a huff.
2 hours later
The group had made its way through the Village gates with 2 wagon that held the supplies. The Genin Teams formed around each individual wagon. Hiroaki's team had the rear wagon. The other Genin Team were posted in front to react faster to any possible threat.
The wagons were covered completely with a type of special seal in the front that blocked out the contents of what they carried. Hiro had noticed it immediately.
"Sensei… Why are the supplies hidden if they were just supposed to be food and water..?" Hiro asked with a nervous chattering running through his small frame.
"It's classified. Now shut up and pay attention to your surrounding." Soka reached into his bag and pulled out three scrolls. Handing them to Hiro, Soka told him to give one to Anko and Kenta. Soka then picked up his pace and left the three in the back.
"They lied to us.. The Hokage lied to his own shinobi. What are we carrying that not even fellow Leaf Shinobi aren't supposed to know what it is…." Hiro began to feel anxious and scared. "Even in this life my luck is absolutely abysmal. Only I could have been put on such a task for my first excursion."
"Do you two feel uneasy with what we are transporting" Hiro said in whisper.
"Nope. Don't care what were transporting. All I know is that the Hokage wants this delivered so it will be delivered." Anko said in a bored tone.
"Not everything should be done that way. We should not have been lied to that way by the Hokage." Hiroaki spoke with more assurance in his voice.
"We are not even Genin. Should we be captured we would know nothing of this missions except our orders. The enemy would not know anymore than what they take and information is not one of the things they could take from us" spoke a bored Kenta. " I would assume you would know that...but then you're just a child aren't you." Kenta ended with a smirk.
Hiro stared at Kenta. "I might be younger than both of you but I'm stronger than the both of you." Hiro turned his attention back on to the road. "Maybe I'm just looking too much into it. Were about a day away from our arrival. This should be a piece of cake.
A/N 5/4/16: Here I just wanted to let any of the readers know that I do plan on continuing this story until at least 20k words. If enough readers want me to continue you it from that point on I will. I plan on advancing the story at a slower rate from when the 3rd Shinobi war ends. I will begin focusing on fleshing the characters out and building better relationships. I have also written most of the the mission by the time of this posting but i will go back and change some of the story depending on the reviews that I do get. For my first question, Do you guys think Hiro should unlock is Kekkei Genkai? I have thought of several scenarios for him unlocking this or maybe different dojutsu like the Kerryugan, or even the Tensiegan. I had an idea of a byakugan/kerryugan mix but haven't really fleshed out any of the abilities the eyes would do. Another question would be if i should have Anko and Kenta as Hiro's teammates? Thank you for reading and I'll update this sometime during the weekends.
