Chapter 1: War Never Changes
Incoming! Yelled a konoha soldier as an artillery shell burst over his squads heads, killing one of his comrades on impact.
"Set up another wood barrier Suki" Arata yelled as he heard more artillery shells bursting in the distance.
"What that's the fifth one today, what the hell!" Suki yelled as he did the correct hand signals for the protective jutsu.
"Stop complaining soldier unless you want all of us to die, if another one of those shells hits us where as good dead"Arata yelled as he sat down in the abandoned building that he and his squad now occupied.
"This is ridicules Arata!" one konoha solider yelled as he sat next to the group of tired soldiers.
"Our troops cant push further past the no mans land, the damned enemy has every way blocked off not to mention, that they keep firing shell after shell on not just our location but every other squad in the we cant even move 100 yards without a sniper picking us off, admit it this recon mission is going to hell" Suki said as he took another bite of his granola bar that he often kept in the pockets of his body armor for a time such as this.
"We have to keep pushing Suki and we have the orders from the higher ups, this is one of the last remaining city's in the Shinobi alliance if this city falls than it's safe to say that our lives as we know are dead along with our families back home. Arata responded as he took a long hard sigh remembering his wife and kids at home, he longed to see his small sons smiling face and his wife's beautiful face and long hair. When Arata first enlisted to be one of the Jonin assign to this mission,he had no idea how long it would take to recon ahead of the city, well at least that was the plan, the high ups had no idea that the enemy had taken so much territory ahead of the city that there was effectively an no mans lands between Sunagakure and the lands farther north.
"Well look at the bright side at least where not freezing to death, heard a rumor that B company in the south froze to death along the front line, once reinforcements arrived they spent more time recovering dead corpse than fighting" responded a soldier as he took another soldier pill to give him the energy he would need to hold out.
"Who would of thought that the great lands north of Suna would look like a hell hole twenty years later, nothing but dead corpse lining the streets while the hot sun bakes them like an oven." Gorou said as he sharped his lighting sword. Gorou often did this to take his mind off of war that was just a few yards outside of the abandoned house his comrades resided in at the moment.
"How did this war start anyway, I heard just about everyone say that the last war,was the one to end all wars and that one seemed impossible to win with Madara and his almost unbeatable power, the zetsu's and the ten tails and not to mention his forces of undead Shinobi!That bastard made me cut down my own brother after his body was resurrected. I don't know about all of you but I am tired of fighting."Gorou said as all of the soldiers turned around and looked at him with uneven eyes, all of them did not want to admit it, but they were tried of fighting , most of them had fought in the forth ninja war when they where just in their teens and that war alone seemed like hell and now with the addition of a fifth war it seemed it was to much for them to handle.
" To answer your first question, no one know how it started, some say that they suddenly came from the sea and started to devastate the land, others say that the enemy started of as a city state in a far away land and over time developed technology that could be infused with chakra therefore eliminating the need for hand signs in jutsu. Its really hard to make a blanket statement on where they came from, the shinobi alliance intelligence corps is almost decimated and all the information that they did gain died along with them." Arata said as he heard another order come from his com link.
"Alright men that enough campfire stories for now, we just got another order from command there is an enemy command tower north of no mans land at point A. Our Job is to secure the area while team B takes out the enemy inside." Arata said, as he saw the rest of his soldiers gear up for the mission, what he did not tell them is that the likelihood of them accomplishing this mission was at least 5% minimum. Even the higher ups told them that they would most likely die in the process, Arata knew that the Shinobi alliance was getting weaker and disparate by the day as the war was beginning to slow to an stalemate . Most of the Supply lines had been destroyed and most of Shinobi alliance capitals and city's had been destroyed and taken over and the only city's that still stood was Suna and the Konoha. The shinobi alliance last hope was to hold out in Suna while the kages and and generals in Konoha would come up with a plan to push the enemy back. Then again Arata knew that their great hokage Naruto Uzumaki and his Second in command Sasuki Uchiha would destroy half of the world before letting the enemy take Konoha. Arata was brought back from his thoughts as he heard one of his soldiers ask a question.
"Sir, how are we going to get past no mans land and not to mention the forces that are behind no mans land ?" the soldier asked while popping a solider pill into the side of his anbu mask.
Arata grind as he thought about the soldiers that stood before him, this soldier in particular always asked a lot of questions before missions. He was the model soldier, obeyed orders and never slacked on his responsibility's. However one thing that plagued Arata mind was that he kept forgetting the soldiers name.
"Yes I am glade to answer your question ah 'Im sorry your name escaped me at the moment son"Arata said embarrassed as he looked at the masked soldier who sighed a little.
'My name is Daiki sir, I am the anbu assigned to your squad for the recon mission that suddenly turned into a full blown take and control mission. Daiki said as he saw Arata's eyes light up with amazement.
"Oh yes now I remember, I am so sorry son their are four more of you anbu assigned to our squad. You know you guys always wear similar mask and the only way we can know your names is by your voice. As for your question, the boys at the command base gave us these scrolls that once activated will give us invisibility for up to 2 hours plenty of time to get to the location don't you think son"Aarta said as he patted Daki on the shoulder while walking away to prepare the rest of his soldiers.
"Of course sir" Daki said, he to wondered if this was indeed a suicide mission as the rest of his anbu comrades said it would be. Once hearing the order from commander Aarta,Daki wasn't an Anbu for nothing, they were the best that Konoha had to offer, they were trained harder and learned more than your average times they expected to go on suicide missions and seldom made it out alive, however anbu were use to that, not regular grunts on the front line. At this point Daki knew that the Shinobi alliance was grinding to a halt ,although most of the anbu knew it for months, however Daki did not want to believe it, after surviving the forth ninja war Daki thought that no force or enemy would ever bring the shinobi world to its knees again but like many times in life he was dead wrong.
0530 somewhere past no mans land
Daki had been past Suna before and at the time he was just taking his chunin exams at that time the land was dry and regulated by the government of suna but it still captured the beauty of nature. Now it was a scrape yard full of dead soldiers and civilians. The first time Daki had seen a dead body up close was when he was sent on a mission with his new team. It was supposed to be a simple body guard mission however it turned really ugly real quick. The ninja academy had been lax when the forth war had ended, most people had thought the time for war was over ,therefore the academy had neglected to give the proper training needed to survive in the ninja world. But who could blame them after the war had ended the only jobs ninjas could get was being a body guard or bounty hunter. He along with the Jonin attached to the team were the only survivors, the other Genin panicked and where killed quickly by the bandits.
"If it wasn't for my experience fighting in the forth war shortly after I graduated from the academy I would have died to" Daki thought as he saw the other soldiers moving ahead of him, the invisibility scrolls worked wonders they went right past no mans land ,careful not to make a lot of noise and the enemy soldiers barely flinched. From Daki calculation they were three miles away from the objective,Daki knew that as soon as they set of the explosives around the tower that every enemy soldier with a 2 miles radius would be on them like white on rice, everyone in the squad had hope that they would be in and out with the Intel before that could happen. Within an hour every soldier in Daki's squad had took their positions around the tower while hearing the order form commander Arata.
"Alright boys as soon as Team B arrives we will attack the enemy full force, after that we well only have minutes to secure the position and allow team B to handle the tangos inside, they will immediately send a messenger fox with the intel usb directly to the command base to suna after they get the intelligence. Our job is to hold off the enemy and give them enough time before the shells start raining" Arata said as all of the soldier took in what he just said.
"Yes sir' All of the soldiers said before they went there separate way to prepare for the coming battle
"Fire!" Arata yelled as some of his solider rained down lighting jutsu on the enemy,while the rest of his soldiers charged the positions. The battle was fierce and violent. Aratas troops moved in quick,as they cut down the enemy in front of them with every kind of jutsu anyone could have ever imagined. Team B was just as impressive and roofless as their troops used the sand around the enemy to constrict and crush them under its weight. The soldiers all around the battle field heard the screams of the enemy troops as there bones and organs were crushed like egg shells. Just as quick as the battle begin it ended, all around Arata lay scattered the enemy corpses, however he knew that he would not have time to savior this victory as he saw team b move into the tower.
"Your troops work quick commander" a female voice said as a shocked Arata turned around.
"You're a female?" Arata said shocked as he saw a very attractive sand female ninja walk towards him while she cleaned some blood from her sword
"Your surprised?" the female ninja said as she chuckled a little.
"Well with the new law in affect I thought it would be long time before I would see a female on the battle field or in war period",Arata said as he eyed the female. It was common knowledge in the ninja world that during the middle of the fifth war the kages passed an act banning females from the front lines it was mostly due to the fact that an increasing number of troops were killed therefore lowering troop counts across most of the shinobi forces. The plan was supposed to keep the females off the front lines so they could birth the next generation of men, so the Shinobi alliance could have a fighting chance somehow in the future. Yes it lowered troops counts even more but at least the birth rates back home where going up some even called it a baby boom. Of course most female ninja did not take the new law so well calling it sexist and ignorant however after a while it became understandably correct after the kages had explained that they needed a new generation to fight or face defeat. Apart of the new act also stated that the men that enlisted had to have children ,which lead to early marriages and large birth rates across the ninja world which had a least ensured a new fighting force in the future allowing the shinobi alliance some time. Arata was pulled form his thought as he heard the female respond to him again.
"I was chosen for my lighting abilities that can rain down a jutsu almost as powerful as one of those buji bombs in the last war."The female ninja said as she heard some more orders come through her com link.
"Ah yes I see, that is very incredible indeed and what is your name?" Arata asked as he barked out order to his troops.
"Aiko sir and you must be commander Arata I have heard so much about you " Aiko responded as she position herself being on the the towers bunkers
"Oh really?" Arata said surprised that anyone outside of his company had heard about the many battles that he was been in.
"Yes the soldiers in team B said you had a knack for being over positive during battle"Aiko said as she and the rest of her comrades prepared to enter into the tower
"Well you always have to have a positive attitude even when facing certain death"Arata said as he chuckled.
"That is true indeed" Aiko said as she entered the tower followed by the rest of her soldiers.
The enemy soldiers in the tower hardly put up a fight, acknowledging that they were already dead even if they managed to defend the tower. It was common for the shinobi troops to find already dead copres after they successfully taken an objective during the war. Most had suspected the enemy had a death before dishonor mentality,which really made it hard to get any Intel out of captured troops due to the fact that 99% percent of the captured troops would kills themselves or not say a singe word to the interrogators period. Even the yamanaka families jutus did not yield any intelligence due to the fact that when they dived into the minds of the captured soldiers minds ,all they saw was a dark as if their minds had been wiped clean before capture. Aiko was pulled form her thoughts as she heard her commandeer bark order to the tec that was in there platoon.
As soon as she was done killing another enemy soldier she moved into the war room of the tower, wbere she saw an already blood drenched room full of her comrades trying to get any Intel they could from the computers.
"They have tons of fire walls you know, its really a pain the butt' a tec ninja said as he struggled to type all the right commands into the computer.
"You can do this Oda just remember as soon as this mission is over we can finally get some of that fried fish that you like so much" Aiko joked as she leaned over the computer console, Aiko was no expert on computers but she could see just by how hard Oda was working that it was not a easy task.
"I would love that" Oda agreed as another bead of sweet dropped down his face.
"Oda recon has just reported that we have about two minutes left until enemy reinforcements arrive!" a soldier yelled as he began to hear artillery shells in the distance
"Get of my back give me about -" Oda said as an artillery shell hit there position rocking everyone in the room over.
"well that was a quick 2 minutes"Aiko said as she recovered from her confused state, as she stood up she saw through the gaping hole in the wall more enemy soldiers than she could count over running team A down on the ground.
" Im going to buy us some time!" Aiko yelled as she suddenly felt power feeling up chakra tunnels in her body, she released a huge lighting powered attack on the enemy effectively destroying around fifty plus enemy soldiers but causing collateral damage in process.
"That could have went better "Oda! yelled as he pulled out the usb from the computer console.
"Im going to prepare a messenger fox keep them of me until- " Oda never finished his sentence as another artillery shell burst through the building killing him instantly.
Akio was blown back a into a wall as she felt consciousness leave her again , she came to a few seconds later as she surveyed her surroundings she was the only one alive in what remained of the war room in the tower. Most of it had been blown sky high while her most of her comrades had either went down to the ground to give Oda time or had been blown apart in the tower. She suddenly saw a small plastic object laying next to what remained of Odas body.
"If I could just get the usb and use my last scroll to summon a messenger fox I can send the intel back to base camp and all of our deaths would not being in vain." Akio thought as she crawled over and reached for the usb but as she was just about grasp the usb a foot stomped on her hand causing her intense looked up to see five enemy solider fill the space of what remained of the war room.
Akio knew that at this point it would be the end, she had heard stories when the war first started about what they did to female prisoners, it was sick and disgusting and she would rather end her life before they did those things to her,in Akio mind they would have to kill her before that happens.
Akio was suddenly pulled up by her neck as she could hear the soldiers around her talking in a language she had never heard before like gibberish to her ears. She felt the soldiers hand tighten around her neck, choking the life out of her.
"At least they will kill me"Akio thought as she felt the life drain from her body. However just as her eyes where about to close she suddenly saw blood splatter from the soldier onto her as she felt her body droop along with the soldier. Akio could vaguely see all the other soldiers die in the same way as fear started to overcome her.
"What is this thing"Akio thought to herself has she saw a tall figure at least over six feet dressed in a black cloak along with an odd blank white mask with two eye slits. The figure started to walk towards her but she started to crawl backwards afraid of what it or he would do it her. The man noticed this and suddenly put his hands up as he spoke.
"Its the mask right, I always get this reaction from people, my mother said it looks odd while my father said it looks super cool and my brother and sister said it looks dorky" the man said with a sigh as he removed his mask.
Akio could not believe her eyes this man was known as a hero in the war, suddenly appearing when platoons where in need,he was like a super soldier defeating army's by himself and not even taking a break he is one of the biggest reasons why the war is not completely lost . Some say he has surpassed his father while others say he is not there yet. Aiko would never think she would meet him in a million years. The figure offered his hand as Aiko suddenly took full grip of his hand
"Hi my name is-"
"Your Shinachiku Uzumaki" Akio finished as Shinachiku suddenly pick her up bridle style.
"What are you doing you creep!" Akio yelled blushing a little.
"Sorry mame but I have to get you back to base camp quickly,there are a lot of enemy reinforcements and I cant protect you and kill them at the same time" Shinachiku finished as he prepared to use his grand father fast travel jutsu.
"Wait before we go I have to get that usb it holds the intelligence that was this whole busted missions goal" Akio said as Shinachiku let her down.
"ready?" Shinachiku asked as he saw Akio nod
Akio suddenly felt as if the whole world was passing her by as she was suddenly ported unto the top of a building in a city she would not recognized ,if it where not for the large faces carved unto the side of a mountain.
"Why are we in Konoha?" Akio asked as she saw Shinachiku face drop.
"Great, dammit son of a toad, sorry I am still getting used to this jutsu I just learned it about a week ago the first two jumps I had no problem with but for some reason with this one I just port back home!" Shinachiku said clearly frustrated as he saw Akio face light up
"Wait there were survivors I thought I was the only one?" Akio asked as she saw Shinachiku face turn very serious when she had asked him the question.
"I should have got there sooner but I managed to save an anbu named Daki and the commander of Team A named Arata they where the only one left when I arrived, Arata in a positive tone said that I came just on time while Daki sighed and shook his head." Shinachiku said as he saw the surprised look on Akio face
"Well a least you managed to save us other wise you would have stumbled upon a mass grave and for that I thank you, by the way my name is Akio" Akio said as she held out her hand.
"Nice to meet you Akio, if you want to I can port you back to your base camp in Suna."Shinachiku said as he shook her hand.
"No thank you I have had enough of this war, you might call this desertion but I think I have earned it after the battle I just took part in. However can you give this to your father I am sure his generals would like to see it. By the way has anyone ever told you that you look like your grandfather but with green eyes" Akio said as she chuckled a little at seeing Shinachiku sigh while looking at his grandfathers face carved into the side of the mountian.
" Yes all the time matter of fact most of my mothers and father friends call me little minato as a inside joke,not to go off topic , but where will you go now ? Shinachiku asked as Akio handed him the usb.
"I might hang around Konoha and go where ever the wind takes me but ill see you around ok" Akio smiled as she quickly kissed Shinachiku on the cheek which was no easy task because of how tall he was and just as quickly jumped off of the roof leaving a red Shinachiku.
"Well I better give this to dad" Sinachiku said as he headed to the Hokage tower.
"Hey dad I got something for you!" Shinachiku said proudly as he burst opened the Hokages door surprising the three men that where inside the room
"Shina how many times have I told you to knock before entering, you never know what important Hokage things I could be discussing"Naruto said as he looked at his youngest son of seventeen years.
"Dad everyone with half a brain knows you hardly do any work, heck half the time you are with mom or training with Bolt or himawari and Sadara preparing them for leadership of some kind" Shinachiku retorted as set the usb on his fathers table.
"He is right naruto you hardly do any paper work, most of the time you leave a clone or I'm stuck doing it, really troublesome"Shikamaru said with a annoyed look on his face as he eyed the Hokage.
"Hey now Shikamaru, they don't call you the most intelligent ninja on the face of the earth for nothing, I am sure paper work is nothing for you" Naruto laughed as as he put up his hands.
"Dobe you need to take responsibility as Hokage more serious, we have a war to win and you slack on paper work" Sasuke retorted as he sent a glare at his best best friend.
"Hey if you want to, you can be Hokage and do all this paper work, hell ill even give you the keys to the city ,would you like that you one armed prick!" Naruto yelled as he begin to argue with his long time friend.
"You have one arm to Dobe!" Sasuke yelled back as Naruto retorted.
"At least I have a zetsu like arm that's better than no arm at all" naruto said back as they both stood up from their seat.
"I am going to take a lunch break ill be back in a few"Shikamaru said as he exited out of the room.
"Hey you are just going to take a nap I am not going to fall for that again!" Naruto said as he saw Shikamaru walk out.
"You might as well join him dobe you don't do anything else!" Sasuke retorted back as he sat back down to finish reading a war report completely ignoring Naruto.
"What did you say Sas-" Naruto was going say as he heard he son speak
"Now that you two are done I would like to discuss my mission" Shinachiku said as he sat down on his fathers couch which for some reason had raman cups on it which shina just slide aside.
Suddenly the two man took a more serious posture as Sasuke put down the war report and Naruto sat back down in his chair.
"Go on Shina"Naruto said as he heard Shinachiku explain the ins and outs of his whole mission, after about two hours of Shinachiku explanation on the mission. Naruto sat back in his chair taking it all in while Sasuke did the same. It was a lot to take in Shinachiku was a big driving force in the war at first Sakura and Naruto had not been for Shinachiku going on missions by himself into horrible war zones due to obvious reasons, however who could argue against it Shinachiku now at his power level was on par if not stronger than his himself and Sasuke even with the sages powers. Growing up Shinachiku was similar to Itachi in strength only one hundred times greater. Naruto tried to find answers on why his sons power was so great for a kid his age. At three Shinachiku had unnatural strength for a child at that age Naruto could recall at time he had told his son to put down Sasuke's sword,after several attempts of telling his son to put it down, Naruto then went to grab it however he could not take come physically close to takeing sword away from his son even with help of sage mode. Naruto thought it was crazy to even go that far to take a sword away from a toddler. Eventually Shinachiku let it go on accord but Naruto never told anyone for fear it would cause panic among the people just like there was fear of him when he was a child. However in the academy Shinachiku would also cause the rest of his class mates to go to the hospital for broken bones and muscle tears ,after a while the teachers had told Naruto and Sakura that Shinachiku could not spare with his class mates which made the young Shinachiuku sad. So eventually Naruto and Sasuke /Shina siblings took on the responsibility of sparing and teaching the young Shinachiuku and yet even for two of the most powerful ninjas in the world they often had broken bones and fracture but with their ninja abilities they held within hours if the injures were not life threatening .Naruto was taken away from his thought as his son asked him a question.
"Dad did you hear what I said?"Shinackiku asked.
"Oh I am sorry son what was that?" Naruto asked as he saw his son sigh.
" I was saying do you mind if I go?" Shinachiku asked as he heard his father respond.
"Oh yes of course go ahead son ,however come back here tomorrow around 9:00am sharp I have another mission for you, but for now get some rest I am sure your mother and siblings well be happy to see. Head to the bar Bolt and Himi are supposed to have a big walcome back dinner for you" Naruto said as he saw his sons face light up with excitement.
"Thanks Dad" Shinachiku said as he ran out the door.
Sasuke waited until he was sure Shinachiku exited the room to speak again.
"He is getting more powerful he took down the entire no mans lands in suna which would a have conventionally forces a year to take if that."Sasuke said as he saw Naruto sigh and look out the Hokage window as he saw his father face carved into the mountain side.
"Sasuke we could have done that by ourselves also at his age" Naruto said as he turned back around to see Sasuke fold his arms over his chest.
"What he did would have taken us a week, yes we have the sages power however we still needed to take breaks,recharge plan out things we had took out that front line in thirty minutes or less, I had recon troops posted and timed I am willing to bet my other arm that he could take us at the same time at full power and not even have trouble, there are not many things that scare me in this world Naruto but your son is one of them"Sasuke said as he saw an angry look on Naruto face.
"Do you think my son is some kind of monster Sasuke, if so I suggest you keep that to yourself!" Naruto yelled as he felt his hands tighten into fist.
"You know what I mean Naruto don't be so naive, you know he has self control problems and once he gets going,its almost impossible to stop him, hell you even had Sakura slip him drugs when he was a kid to calm him down because he was getting out of control. I worry about the safety of this village
along with him, he is my nephew of course I care about him and love him. But I also recognize the fact that he has a great power inside of him that one day will control him or he will control it" Sasuke finished as he saw Naruto let out a great Sigh while setting back in his chair.
"You are right,hell to tell you the truth even at fifteen he was able to take me on at full power and I only won because of my experience, his ti jutsu is the best I have ever seen period and at times because he thinks regular jutsu are boring he just uses ti jutsu to beat his enemy's to death. I'm sure he has killed far more men than you or I will before we die and he is only seventeen years old". Naruto finished as he lanced his finger together under his chin.
"You think this new Jutsu will work?" Susuke asked as he began to leave the room.
"It will work, but the real question is can Shina stop the infinite empire before they begin in the past, we have lost so much in this war and Shina has had to do things I could never have done even in the forth war, with the launch of this mission, this war can come to an end before it even starts" Naruto said as he saw Sasuke leave.
"Shina your back!" Bolt yelled as he greeted is younger brother as he walked towards the table in the bar.
"Hey bro, how have you been?" Shina said as he he gave he brother a hug.
"what thats all you have to say, tell me about the mission, I heard a rumor that said that the black death helped the Shinobi alliance break the empires hold on Suna no mans land" Bolt said as he rubbed his brothers head.
"It was nothing" Shina said as he scratched his head embarrassingly.
"Oh come on bro your a hero just like dad was during the war. I wish I could join you but you know dad has me doing all this paper work in preparation for Hokage leadership position, man it seems like when I was a kid all I wanted to be was Hokage just like dad, but now that I am going to be Hokage it seems like it sucks" Bolt said sadly as he heard his younger brother laugh.
"Well this is what you wanted, I never wanted to be Hokage all it took for me was one time to see all that paper work, its safe to say that I changed my mind really quick" Shina finished as he downed another glass of lemonade.
"Yea well your going to find out one day,how about ill be Hokage for 10 years and you can take the other 40 years right Shina." Bolt laughed as he joking elbowed Shina in the ribs.
"Gezz leave him alone Bolt he just got back I am sure that he does not want to hear your annoying mouth"Sadara said as she sat next to her husband of five years.
"Well excuse me honey, can I not have some brother time with my bro" Bolt said with a fake annoyed look directed towards his wife.
"You know you want me here"Sadara said as she kissed bolt on the cheek.
"I guess"Bolt whispered under his breath with a fake pout .
"So how was your mission Shina,I heard you took out a major front line" Sadara said as she drank some water.
"It was ok sis, the regular, nothing to big I just followed orders" shina said quietly as he looked at his brother and sister, although it was a little odd and weird to know that his brother married his sister when he was young. Of course they were not blood related and for most of there childhood and teenage years they grew up in a completely different household but it was still weird and some times when he was a kid it made him gag whenever he saw them kissing. But he never put to much thought into it after he grew up after all they are thirty years old now.
"I heard you rescued some people, the report even said you rescued a fair haired princess ,ehh Shina soon you will be like fighting dragons"Bolt joked as he felt Sadara's glare come upon him which made him stop laughing within seconds.
"Really bolt it was not much really, I did rescue a girl from certain death but she was not a fair haired princess"Shina laughed as he heard a female speak behind him.
"Well I am not much of a fair haired princess but I know for a fact that I am very attractive, am I right Shinachiku" Aiko said as she leaned over Shinachiku teasing him a little in the process which made him redder than blood.
"Aiko what are you doing here?"Shina asked surprisingly as he jump out of the chair.
"I told you I go where the wind takes me, I saw you walking in here a few minutes ago,so I thought I would just hang out with you" Aiko said as she sat down next to Sadara.
"Shina you did not tell me you had a Girlfriend and man she is smoking I mean really-"Bolt never got to finish his sentence as Sarada kicked his shin under the table.
"Baka" Sadara said as she asked her brother a question
"Yes shina why don't you introduce me to your friend" Sarada finished as she eyed Aiko.
"Oh yea well Aiko this is my brother Bolt and my sister Sarada"
"Nice to meet you"Aiko said as she shook Sarada hand.
"Gezz Sarada why did you do that, you are a mean wife you know that" Bolt said as he downed another glass of beer.
"Wait Shinachiku just said your his brother and sister so how..."Aiko begin to ask as Shina explained.
"Its a long story basically Bolt is my half brother while Sadara is my sister due to the fact that we were raised by the same mother , but you get the picture"Shinachiku said awkwardly as a odd silence came over the table.
'Oh yes I see complicated indeed 'Aiko said as she drank the last of her soda.
Suddenly the group heard a loud female voice sound, as said female run towards them.
"Onee san!" Himawari yelled as she grabbed both Shina and Bolts heads under her arms for a big hug
"I missed you so much Shina I heard your mission was a big success, I even heard you freed a princess along the way, you have to tell me all about it Shina please"Himawari said cheerfully as both Bolt and Shina turned red from lack of oxygen.
"I will tell you Hima just let go, please I cant breath"Shina said as he escaped Himiawari grasped.
"I agree"Bolt said as Himiawari let go of Bolt as well.
"Oh yes Akio this is my sister Hima or Himiawari she is also Bolts sister as well " Shina said as Himiawari suddenly hugged Akio which made her feel kinda uncomfortable.
"Well she is very bubbly"Akio thought as she heard Himiawari speak.
"Any friend of Shinas is a friend of mine, by the way you know you look like Mei temari you know the past Mizukage"Himiawari said as she released Akio
Everyone in the group perked up at what Himiawari said now that they looked at Akio she did look like Mei temari expect of course the youthfulness but still they resemble each other.
'Well you see she is my Aunt, shortly after the war my mother and father moved to suna from Kiri"Akio said as she blushed and looked down at her thumbs.
Shinachiku remembered Mei termari all to well,when was around sixteen he remembered going with his father to a kage summit in found himself being bored and walked around the village. Shortly after he bumped into a woman that was very attractive and did not look to be a day past thirty,Shina found himself talking to the woman for a long period of time and Shina could have sworn that she was flirting with him,but he really wasn't sure. Suddenly she asked him if she could charge her phone in his hotel room,Shina did not see anything suspicious about what she said so she he lead her to the room his father had shared with him for there time in Suna. While in the room the Mizukage had remarked I about it being really hot in his hotel room, "But I have the AC on full blast so why would she becomplaining that it was hot" Shina thought .All of a sudden she loosened her top and shina panicked which caused a lot of commotion, Naruto bust down the door and lets just say things did not go so well as he had to explain to his father why a Kage was in their room half dressed. His mother was highly angered with Shina and grounded him while his father called him rico suave but at the same time reprimanded him about being disrespectful to woman,which did not make his mother any less angry. So at the end it all,he was grounded for a mouth for something that was completely blown out of proportion. Although Mei did give Shina her number before she left, he did talk to her every two weeks and she gave him great advice and always looked out for him when he went to kiri before it feel to the enemy. Although now Mei along with some of the other kages moved to Konoha after their city's feel. His mother told him to stay away from Mei for fear that she would seduce him and get pregnant although Shina did think his mom was a little crazy for thinking was pulled form his thoughts as he heard his sister Sadara speak.
"So how was the mission Akio , I know you were there before Shina, I heard a rumor that it did not go so well"Sadara asked as the mood got serious.
Akio and Shina both took a deep sigh before explaining the long and sad story of how they came to meet each other ,while Akio also explained the mission she was on.
"Wow that's something guys, most of the ninja world knows how brutal the war is but with people trying to keep it out of there minds in konoha, it was a little easier to forgot about the horror that stand just a few miles outside of the protective gates" Bolt said as he heard one of the men setting at a bar stool walk towards the table.
"I have a buddy of mine that described the scene in no mans land after the black death ran through it, he said only a monster could cause this destruction, he also said the body where torn apart limb by limb" the drunk man said as he pointedat Shina.
"I think you had one to many buddy" Bolt said as he stood up a little but sat back down as he saw the look on Shinas face.
"Common boy it must be fun to be a monster, no one can stop you, just go around raping and ravaging the land, killing the empires strongest , you know we should just call you beast boy for now one freak don't do it anymore" the drunk man said as more men joined him
"Freak"
"beast"
"Animal"
Shina could only sigh as he was called the worst names in the book by these men,but he was use to it by now. If he reacted the way they wanted he would just prove them right , however Shina knew it was not easy for his family. After all his brother and sisters could barely contain themselves as they heard there brother being ridiculed.
"Comonon guys lets just go" Shina said,as he was about to get up from the table one drunk man hit him over the head with the barely felt it thanks to his abilities, however it did not stop Bolt from grabbing the guy by the collar and punching him nor did it stop Himiawari from using her reverse palms to fend off another attacker.
"Guys stop!" Shina yelled as another drunk man Punched him in the jaw which caused the mans hand to shatter on impact.
"Ahh you damned freak"the man yelled as Shina grabbed the mans hand and started to mend his injury which amazed everyone who saw the scene.
"Good day to you sir, lets go guys" Shinachika said as he released the mans hands and walked out of the bar followed by the rest of his Siblings and Aiko.
"Shina you should have knocked that guy a new one" Bolt said angry as he walked beside Shina.
"If I would have hit him Brother he have died and dad would have to clean up the mess with the police, also I dont want to kill the man just because he was druck, he could be a nice guy when he is sober"Shina joke as he stopped and look at the concerned face of his siblings.
"Shina this has been going on since you were in the academy, people looking at you as if you are a monster but then they are happy as hell when you go out and slaughter the enemy and all of a sudden when you get back home they treat you like your not even human"Sadara said as said saw a smile on Shinas face.
" I am sure they will come around Sadara ,once they get to know me they will like me, they might even want to become my friend" Shina said as he heard Himiawari speak
"Shina this is not a joke every since you where a child kids would be scared to touch but they would say hurtful things ,some kids even called you a bastard child.I cant tell you how many times I have heard people say these things and it takes everything in me to not ring there neck"Himiawari yelled with teared filled eyes as Shina put a hand on her shoulders.
"Himia its ok, I still have to love everybody even when they say hurtful things,it helps me connect with people even though they don't want to connect with me. But look guys ill see you tomorrow before dad gives me another mission,mom is more than likely worried sick about me so I have to go home, Oh I almost forgot Aiko do you have a place to stay,if you want you can stay at my house we have tons of guest rooms?" Shina asked as he heard Akio responded.
"No, ok Shina, I am renting an apartment at the moment but ill see you around before you leave Okay"Aiko said as she saw Shina turned around to leave.
"Aiko you be safe ok" Shina said as turned to go home.
Aiko waited until Shina was out of sight before asking his siblings as very personal question concerning Shina.
"Have they always treated Shina like this in your village?" Aiko asked before she heard the trio respond.
"Yes sadly every since people started to notice they Shina was not your normal ninja they started to fear him, just like they feared my father when he was groing up, because he had Kumara inside of him.
"But the rest of the ninja world sees him as a hero, not a monster he is looked to as a super hero by other nations"Aiko said
"Yes in other nations,however Konaha has had a history of fear, the only friends that Shina has had is us and Mei,hardly anyone inside of the village would talk to him, we always made sure to watch over him however we cant keep peoples mouth shut. They talk about him like a dog and a few times has even assaulted him, But Shina always responded in kindness and never hit them back he always had a smile on his face and kept a positive attitude"Sadara said
"At times I wonder how he takes it, dad has said that the way the village treats him now is worse than we he was a kid, but they would never dare say anything about him while father was around, I cant tell you how many times I have seen nobles and town folk lie about how they feel about him to his face when father was around telling him how he is such a great person and how he ia blessing upon the village"Himiawari said the group started to way there separate ways
"To hell with the village, ill be Shinas friend" Aiko said as she saw the surprised look on the siblings face as they went there seperate ways
" I sure hope so" Bolt said as he and Sarada walked back to there house
"Nice meeting you Aiko and thanks for being Shina friend he really needs more support after coming home from the missions. With my brother and his wife's training ,along with mine it has been months since we have talked to shina. Its wonder how he gets through the days while he is on leave". Himiawari said as she walked away
"Nice meeting you to Himiwari"Aiko said as she soon found herself alone in the busy street of konoha.
"Mom I'm home" Shina said as his mother ran out of the kitchen and give him a giant hug
"My baby boy your home its been months, iv missed you so much"Sakara said with tearing eyes as she looked at up he tall son who even towered over his father. Sakara always wondered how he became so tall with her only being five eight and Naruto being five ten its a wonder how Shina become six foot. She remembered when Shina was born he was so small and tiny, now he was a giant compared to herself, suddenly Sakura was pulled from her thoughts as she saw pieces of glass fall from Shina's hair.
"What happened?" Sakura asked as eye the small glass shards on the floor
"Nothing much mom, just a guy hit me in head the with a glass bottle mom nothing to big"Shina said nonchalantly as he got a broom and dust pan to clean up the glass.
"Nothing big! Shina you where assaulted, were going back to that bar right now so I can bash that mans head in you just tell me what he looked like son!"Sakura yelled as she headed to the door
"Mom just relax I am ok and I even healed his hand after he punched me, those healing jutus really help they came in handy mom"Shina said as he moved to stop his mom from causing a commotion in Konoha for the one hundredth time
Sakura sighed as she sat down on the family couch trying to find ways to clam her angered state.
"Shina this is happening way to much, Im going to have to talk to your father when he gets home every time you come home for leave,an incident happens and its not right they don't have the right to treat you like a dog after all that you have done for this village hell even the alliance without you we would have lost this war a long time ago!" Sakura said as she saw her come back into the living room
"Shina I dont care if I have to follow you around all day if it stops these animals from bothering my baby boy then it must happen I would like to see them try anything while Im around!" Sakura said as she crush the couch arm under her hand
"Mom you know your back has been bothering you lately, and its not very good for the head doctor in our village to not be on the job, its ok mom they cant hurt me but I can hurt them, one of my biggest fears is that I loose control and take a persons life who did nothing wrong "Shina finished as he gave his mother a hug
"I know Shina but bothers me so such, they treat you like a monster, my own baby is looked as a monster in the very village his father is the Hokage makes me so angry." Sakura said
"Dont worry mom once the war is over I can work on my people skills more then people wont be so afraid of me" Shina suggested as he turned on the family Tv.
"Shina you our one of the kindest and good hearten person I have ever known in my life. You take things even your father would have burst out in anger and rightfully so, but you have always kept a positive attitude and showed love to people who ridiculed you or even assaulted you"Sakura said
"Well mom I have killed more people then Dad or even uncle Sasuke heck some people even compare me to Madara"Shina said with a sad look as he heard his mother respond.
"Shina don't put that on yourself, you were in a war zone you had to take out the imperils, by your efforts on the front line you have gave the ninja world a fighting chance"Sakura said with a concerned look
"I know mom but still its like when I get in the fog of war its hard for me to stop killings almost to the point that I am standout side of my body watch myself doings these things and I cant stop it, every night I have nightmares and the most frighting part is that I see the look on my face and I'm smiling almost as if I enjoy it"Shina said as tear flooded his eyes
Sakura hugged her son close as she fleet his tears on her gown.
"Shh its ok Shina soon this war will be over and you wont have to go on a single mission again you can retire at a young age and live out your life no more killing"Sakura said as the truth soon hit her, when her son was growing up he could not spare with other children for fear that he may kill them. So Shina spared with his siblings or his father and Sasuke. Eventually Shina could single handily best his then adult siblings at the age of thirteen without much effort, often Sadara would come in with fractures and dislocations as was the same for Bolt and Himiwari. But the family kept it away from Shina for fear he would become sadden by the fact that he was causing such pain in his is siblings. Soon enough only Sasuke and Naruto could spare with Shina due to the fact that his siblings could not keep had just told Shina that Bolt,Himiwari and Sadra had other responsibility to attended to. At the age of fourteen Naruto had to use sage mode when sparring against his teenage son due to the fact that if he didn't he would have serious life threatening injuries. Sakura recalled at time to where Sasuke had used perfect susanoo to even keep up with Shina however even that did not protect Suaske form a perfectly wall aimed kick that went through susanoo like butter and broke Sasuke right arm in five places,dislocated his shoulder and collapsed a lung. Sakura remembered on a raining day Shina barging into the hospital holding a half dead Sasuke, Shina had tears in his eyes says he did not mean it.
Flashback three years ago
" Im so sorry uncle Sasuke I did not mean it, im so sorry!'Shina said as he saw the broken form of Sasuke flying across the battlefield, Shina suddenly ran to his uncles aid as he heard he uncle gasp for life
"Nice shoot kid its been a long time since someone has me that hard, now get me to a medic before I die!"Sasuke said before he passed out
Shinachiku picked up the broken form of Sasuke and ran to the hospital. Within seconds he was there placing sasuke on a nursing bed before a nurses took him into the operating room,All shinachiku could do was look in horror as the nurses rolled his uncle into the operating room. Shina sat down with his hands grabbing his hair as tears ran down his face.
"Is it true what they say am I a monster?"Shinachiku wondered as he heard his mother bark other to the other nursers in the ER wing of the hospital
"Quickly put a iv in him and keep him stable while I prepare for the operation also get me a-"Sakura said as she saw her son.
"Shina we have been looking all over for you after you brung Sasuke in where have you been?" Sakura
asked with a concerned look on her face as she heard her son murmur something under his breath
"I am a monster they are right"Shina said he turned to look at his mother
Sakura ran to hug her sons head between her arms as she whispered into his ear
"Your not a monster Shina, it was a accident, training accidents happen all the time your uncle Sasuke well be fine so don't worry about it ok just wait her for a few hours and then you can speak to your uncle 'I'm sure he will want to talk to you after he comes to "Sakura said as she whipped the tears from Shinas face
Shina nodded as his mom turned to leave.
"How are you feeling Sasuke?" Sakura asked as she saw the bed ridden Sasuke take a deed sigh with seemed to cause him a lot of pain.
"Iv felt better before, man it feels like I was hit with a giant toad" Sasuke said as he heard Sakura chuckle
"Well I'm glade you are feeling better my team and I worked hard to mend you back together but I once know what happen Shina wont discuss it with anyone until he talks to you"Sakura said in a serious tone
"We where sparring just like any other time and as the battle became ore intense I had to ramp up my powers just to even keep up with him as you know ti justu is his favorite and the way he was fighting reminded me of Gai's eight gates except Shina was one hundred times faster and stronger, he moved in for a precise kick. I knew that he would smash right through my perfect susanoo however I was counting on my rinnegan abilities to stop him'Sasuke said as he took another heard breath to continue.
" My rinnegan had no affect on Shina almost as if he was free from its gravitational pull, next thing I know I fell my arm shatter and my body is thrown over one hundred yards away. Last thing I remember is Shina running over to me as a passed out:Sasuke finished as he saw Sakura take a long hard sigh.
"well it looks like my Shina is getting stronger:Sakura said proudly as she saw a stern look on her friends face.
"Sakura that Susanoo, that I used was almost as powerful as the one I had to use when I fought Naruto, and it took Naruto all of his strength to break through that one with Shina it was like kicking air, while my rinnegan was useless this is not a and I are supposed to be the strongest people on the planet and at the age of fourteen Shina is forces even us to all all out to simple protect are selves and to him its little more than childs play!"Sasuke yelled as a coughed up some blood
Sakura quickly ran over to his side to assist him while he started to feel waken again
"You need to take it easy Sasuke, I understand my son is high powerful Naruto and I talk about it almost all the time and it is a great concerned the drugs I am giving him, to clam him down are not working anymore,.At first I thought he was born with a hyper active disorder but I soon found out that it was just his abilities manifesting" Sakura said as she threw the blood napkin in the trash
"I just hope as he grows he can learn to control his abilities and use them for the greater good I know my son has a good heart but thats enough of this for now you need to rest but before you do someone wants to see you" Sakura said as she opened the door.
"Shina your uncle is awake and wants to speak to you" Sakura said as she left the door open.
"Uncle im so sorry, I did not mean to hurt you can you forgive me"Shina said with tears in his eyes as he hugged his uncle.
"Its ok kid, matter of fact that was a great Hit shina only one man in this world came cliam to have put Uchina Sasuke in the hospital and now that number went up to two congratulations kid" Sasuke said with a grin on his face as he saw the young boys face light up.
"Thats amazing uncles Sasuke who was the first?" Shina asked with wonder
"Well a man named Naruto Dobe Uzumaki"Sasuke said.
"Wow really my father"Shina said with amazement.
"yes kid you will surpass your father soon enough but for now I have to rest so we can get back to your training Shina"Sasuke said as he saw Shina prepare to leave.
"Alright bye uncle Sasuke I hope you feel better ,ill be back tomorrow morning to visit you"Shina said closed the door.
"Alright kid"Sasuke said as sleep finally claimed him.
End flashback
Sakura was pulled from her thoughts as her son became to moved away from her.
"Sorry mom Im getting kinda sleepy so Im going to get some sleep, goodnight mom oh yea when is dad getting home?." Shina asked as yawned and stretched out his arms.
" knowing him he wont be home until five and sleep until three in the afternoon"Sakura said as she watch he soon walk to his room
"That dad for yea, always working hard to protective the village, Good night mom"Shina said just before he walked into his room.
"Good night my little Shina"Sakura teased as she turned of the Tv and lights in the living room
"Gezz mom please don't call me that is embarrassing" Shina yelled from his room as his mother chucked.
"Love you to son" Sakura said as she headed into her bedroom.
As Shina got under the covers and he felt sleep take over him he thoughts where mainly centered on the events of tomorrow.
"I hope this will be my last mission for a long time"Shina thought as sleep took him
