Village Hidden in the Leaves Training field

5:30 PM

Vin Uzumaki groggily rose to his feet as his opponent's laughter cut into him deeper than the superficial wound on his arm.

"What's wrong Vin? Don't tell me that's all you and that fox inside you have." his tormentor sneered as Vin wiped the small amount of blood that came from the wound that was already beginning to heal.

"Not by a long shot Sensei." Vin called back as he stooped down to pick up his knife. "I still got a jutsu or two up my sleeve."

"I'm sure you do Vin." Des said as his eyes changed from their usual brown to a scarlet red and three tomoe appeared around his pupil.

"The Sharingan? You really need that against your student?" Vin asked as he tried not to look into Des' eyes. His sensei was notorious for sneaking a genjutsu on his opponents.

"I just want you to know I'm taking this seriously." Des said as he dropped to a low stance. "Now give my your best shot."

"If you say so." Vin said as he started spinning chakra in his hand. As the spinning chakra formed itself into a perfect sphere he added more currents underneath its surface. Once the jutsu was ready Vin charged forward with a speed that shouldn't have been possible for a 14-year-old boy. Des smiled as his student thrust the sphere forward while crying, "Rasengan!"


As the master and student sparred with each other, both were unaware of the hateful white eyes watching their every move. He was however greatly surprised when he saw the little kyuubi brat perform an A jutsu out of the blue like that.

"That brat is maturing too fast." The white-eyed man cursed under his breath. "Time to get rid of our village's little monster."


Des' hand shot forward and grabbed Vin's wrist and yanked it down so the spinning sphere of chakra drilled into the ground instead of his chest.

"Nice try Vin." Des said as he retracted his Sharingan. Despite his defeat Vin began to chuckle. "What's so funny?"

"Fooled you." Vin sang with a fox like grin. Des' eyes widened as he turned to see another Vin mere inches away with a Rasengan in his hand.

When did he have time to make a shadow clone?The thought echoed through Des' mind as the Rasengan dug its way into his jonin jacket. Vin smiled grew even wider as Des flew back and crashed through some bushes. He waited for Des to come back into view. 4 minutes passed and nothing happened.

"Are you alright Sensei?" Vin called out, feeling a bit concerned.

"Fine, why do you ask?" Des said from behind him. Vin spun around on his heels as Des delivered a swift debilitating kick to his stomach. As Vin flew through the air he felt something grip his belt, followed by a sharp tug.

Des watched with an amused grin, as Vin was pulled underground by his mudclone. 30 seconds passed before Vin clawed his way out of the dirt. Vin sent a defiant glare at Des before adopting a strange fighting stance.

"That's enough Vin." Des said holding up his hands as a sign of respite, however his hands quickly dropped to the wound he'd received on his chest thanks to his student. Vin almost seemed disappointed as he dropped his stance and ran his fingers through his dirty blond hair and took out the rubber band that kept it in its small ponytail.

"How was that?" Vin asked while shaking the dirt out of his shoulder length hair.

"Perfect." Des said walking toward his student, "Fight like that in the Chunin Exams and you're sure to pass."

Vin felt a sudden growing pride, until he felt something wrong in the air.

"What's up?" Des asked, right before his chest exploded in a gush of blood that sprayed all over Vin. Vin watched with a horrified expression as his sensei dropped to the ground, dead before he ever hit it.


"Vin what have you done?" a voice called from behind the young genin. Vin spun around a found himself looking into the blank, emotionless Byakugan eyes of Satzou Hyuga.

"Satzou-Sensei, I didn't mean to I swear." Vin started babbling as the jonin shoved past him and examined the body.

"You killed him." Satzou said darkly while turning to face Vin.

"It was an accident I swear to God." Vin said tears forming in his eyes. "He seemed fine just a second ago." He thought desperately. "I have to tell someone."

"No, Vin!" Satzou said quickly grabbing the boy by his shoulders, "You tell someone that you killed him and they'll think either you did it on purpose or you lost control of the Kyuubi. Neither scenario ends well for you."

"Then what do I do?" Vin asked desperate for help.

Satzou smiled fiendishly.


Village Hidden in the Leaves

6:25 PM

Vin sprinted as fast as his legs could carry him to the village gate. His body ached as more blood spilled from the wounds he'd received from his jonin pursuers.

"They must've found Des-Sensei's body before Satzou-Sensei could reach them." Vin thought trying to find an answer as to why they were chasing him.

"IDIOT!" a loud dark voice cried from inside Vin's subconscious that nearly caused him to trip in surprise, "The Hyuga told them that we killed your sensei"

"What? Why?" Vin mentally asked the Kyuubi.

"How should I know, just keep running."The Kyuubi didn't have to tell Vin twice. Vin continued his sprint toward the forest, and kept running even after his pursuers stopped chasing him for some reason.

"Watch out!" the Kyuubi warned as a wall of fire suddenly erupted in front of him.

"Just where do you think you're going without saying goodbye Vin?" a familiar, angry voice called from a tree branch above him. Vin looked up and found himself staring into the eyes of Hyatsu Uchiha, Des's son and his best friend.


Vin watched as Hyatsu dropped to the ground. Vin and Hyatsu had a rivalry that went all the way back to their grandfathers, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. Hyatsu inherited the Sharingan from his ancestor and Vin inherited the Kyuubi sealed inside him. While the two didn't take their rivalry as serious as their grandfathers, things still got a bit out of hand when they sparred. Hyatsu eyes screamed for blood, Vin's blood.

"Why did you kill my father?" Hyatsu demanded as he punched for Vin's face. Vin attempted to duck under the punch but Hyatsu's Sharingan allowed him to predict his movement and kicked where his face would be. He was rewarded with his foot crashing into Vin's face.

"Come now Vin," Satzou said as he walked through the wall of fire "Where's that aggression you used to kill Des with?"

"You Bastard!" Vin yelled feeling a feral rage come over him. His eyes had turned from their usual amber color to the same shade of scarlet as the Sharingan. His pupils had become slits and his fingernails had grown into claws. The pain of his body was numbed as Vin leapt at the Hyuga. "I'll tear your throat out." he screamed with a different with a tone his voice couldn't naturally make on its own.

Vin was intercepted however as Hyatsu jumped into his path and kicked him in the side of his head.

"Your fight's with me murderer." the Uchiha said drawing a kunai.

"You can't win kid. RUN!"the Kyuubi ordered. Vin threw a smoke bomb on the ground and broke off in a mad dash away from Hyatsu and Satzou. They didn't follow.


Hyatsu started after Vin but was grabbed by Satzou before he could pursue.

"What are you doing?" he demanded, "I have to get him."

"He has nowhere to run now." Satzou explained, "He'll be put down as a rogue ninja and hunted down by every village out there."

"I don't want another ninja bringing him down." Hyatsu said yanking his wrist free. "I want to bring him down my self."

Satzou smiled fiendishly, "Then come with me."


Somewhere in a foreign forest

11:30 PM

When Vin finally stopped running he knew for a fact that he was horribly lost. The trees around him were foreign and unfamiliar. He doubted he was anywhere near the Village Hidden in Leaves, or even in the Land of Fire anymore. Exhausted he lumped down against one and fell asleep.


Somewhere in a foreign forest

9:15 AM

"Hey, wake up kid." a girl's voice roused him from his slumber. She was no older than he was, had long blonde hair, and a headband that identified her as being a ninja from the Village Hidden in the Stones.

"Village Hidden in the Stones!?!" Vin thought bolting upright, surprising the girl. "How did I get here so fast?" Then he remembered it took days to reach that village. He wasn't far from home, she was. And by the look of the rucksack she carried it looked like she wasn't going back. "That makes her a rogue like me."

"Who are you?" Vin asked noticing the girl's stare.

"My name's Evee, the jinchuriki of the Gobi." she declared with a smile. "And you are?" she asked extending her hand.

"Vin Uzumaki, jinchuriki of the Kyuubi." Vin answered taking her hand.


Vin Uzumaki: Grandson of Naruto Uzumaki and current jinchuriki of the Kyuubi.

Satzou Hyuga: Member of the Hyuga Clan and leader of an organization of people who despise the Bijuu and Jinchuriki

Hyatsu Uchiha: Grandson of Sasuke Uchiha, best friend and rival of Vin Uzumaki.

Evee: Jinchuriki of the Gobi who ran away from her home village out of fear and persecution.
