Dedication: I would like to dedicate this first chapter to the-hated-one2 and Bermuda moon on DA, thanks for being my peer editor. I Plan on dedicating on every chapter so the next dedication will go to the first review! This is my first fanfiction so I am interested to hear what everyone has to say. Enjoy

"Mass shadow clone jutsu!"

"Kid, this is not going to work, I'll just destroy them all like last time," said the sound ninja pulling out two kunai and starting to mow down the shadow clones one by one.

"Go ahead, before you find the real me I will have finished you off." Forming hand signs, he faced his palms at the sound ninja. "Diamond needle jutsu!" Suddenly, thousands of thin, long needles of diamond fired from his palms, impaling his foe.

"Now off to Kona…" Just as he started to walk off, the effects of his jutsu caused him to black out.

David woke up staring up at a white ceiling. "Ugh, what the hell happened?" he said as he started to sit up, his head still feeling a little light.

"You're in the Konaha Hospital," replied a small voice. David turned to his right and saw an ink-blue-haired girl sitting next to him.
She looked at him with curiosity, her lavender eyes examining every aspect of him. "I was training outside the village and I heard a scream. That's when I found you. The nurse said that you used up too much chakra and passed out."

She stood up upon hearing sudden screams in the distance "Hmm, better check it out, Byakugan!" About 50 meters away she saw a ninja about her age lying on the ground and another ninja that was pinned to a large tree. The ninja was wearing a black fleece and dark denim jeans. He was also wearing a headband with what looked like three small mountain peaks; he wore his headband cockeyed, covering his left eye. -I wonder what village he is from.- She pondered this for a while but couldn't think of any village that had that kind of marking. He was also carrying a backpack and two short swords with the top third of the blade doubling in width. Examining him further she found that his chakra was unique. The other systems she had seen had a blue color, where as his chakra was more of a green. She shoved the thought aside for now and decided to look further as to what else could have caused the screams.

Looking at the pinned ninja she saw the quarter note on his headband and frowned. -Damn it, I thought we were through with those sound ninjas.- She examined the body further and realized that the needle's tips seemed to have burst into each of the ninja's chakra points to cause him further damage. -Serves those bastards right- she thought. -Whoever this guy is he sure could be dangerous. Well, the enemy of my enemy is my friend right?-

-Damn it, I did it again.- "Thank you, umm, what is your name?"

"My name is Hinata Hyuuga."

"Hinata-chan, thanks for saving me, I am truly grateful," Bowing in respect, he continued. "My name is David Uzumaki; I come from the village hidden in the mountains. I need to meet the Hokagae as soon as possible."

"She thought you might say that so she asked me to stay here with you until you woke up. If you want, I can take you to her now."

"Thanks, lead the way." He grabbed his backpack and they walked out of the hospital, headed toward the eastern side of the village. They finally arrived at the Hokagae tower and climbed up the flight of stairs, stopping at a door.

"Hokagae-sama, David wishes to speak with you"

"Enter."

David's face lit up at the familiar voice. –So she is the new Hokagae, interesting.- They entered a room with a panoramic view of the whole village. There were a few other people in the room but the Hokagae asked them to leave for a moment.

"David, it is so good to see you again. What news do you bring from the hidden mountain village?"

"Nothing much has changed Tsunade-sama, most of the villagers still hate me, but that's their problem." He opened his backpack and pulled out a scroll and handed it to her. "I do have a scroll for you though."

She read the scroll quickly and looked up at the young man. "I see. I figured something like this would happen. David I have made arrangements for you to have an apartment in the village. Hinata will take you there."

"Tsunade-sama, I would like to talk to you about me staying here."

"I expected you would, but I am busy as it is today. Meet me here early tomorrow morning."

"Thank you" he got up and bowed in respect.

Leaving the room they entered the busy streets of Konaha. "Hey, Hinata-chan?"

"Yes, David-kun?"

"I was wondering if you would like to spar with me. You don't have to if you don't want to though," he quickly added. "I wouldn't want to intrude on anything you had planned for the day."

"Oh, actually I was looking for someone to spar with, and since Kiba-san and Shino-san— my old teammates—are on separate missions I don't have anyone else to train with."

"Cool, but before we do that could we still stop at my apartment? I want to drop off some scrolls there."

"Sure, it's on the way."

They stopped at his apartment and dropped off his pack. The room was empty except for a small bed and a couch. "Could you by any chance wait a few minutes? My village is in the mountains and it is much cooler there, but here it is the middle of summer, so right now I am sweating under this fleece." -Actually now that I think about it, that heavy jacket she is wearing must be really uncomfortable; she could get heat stroke or something.-

"Sure." leaning against the doorframe, she looked at him quizzically. "You have a set of clothes in that small pack of yours?"

"Well, technically I do." He reached into his already opened pack and pulled out a small scroll. "I like to be prepared," He opened the scroll, which had various runes and seals. "You see, all I need to do is put some blood on one of the circles I want and insert some of my chakra." With a quiet 'poof' there was a set of clothes on top of the scroll. "And, presto, I have a new set of clothes." Beaming he walked off to the bathroom.

He walked out of the bathroom wearing light pants, a tee-shirt, and a vest. It looked similar to the ones that chunins wore but not nearly as padded. It also sported a dragon on the back. He reached into his pack and took out a few scrolls before tucking them inside his vest. "Sorry to keep you waiting. Let's go."

She led him to the Konaha training grounds and they started stretching. After several minutes of stretching David got up. "Are you ready?"

"Hai," she stated.

"Let's get started then." They both bowed respectively and went into their respective fighting stances, Hinata activating her Byakugan. David crouched with one arm up to guard and the other arm close to his side, ready to punch or defend. Hinata, on the other hand, had a more open fighting stance with both of her palms open. –Hmm. I wonder why she leaves herself so open.-

-Well, she said that she was a Hyuuga you dolt.-

-Oh shut it Uwibami, you are only bitter because you got sealed by someone from their clan.-

David waited several moments looking around the training field devising a strategy to defeat his opponent. –Well, I guess I'll start this then- he thought, preparing his first move. He formed some hand signs. "Diamond needle jutsu!" Instead of showering her with his needles he only sent a few needles at Hinata. She dodged them with ease. He charged at her getting ready to punch, but she pushed it away with her palm. He continued to attack her with punches and kicks only managing to land a handful of blows. This went on for an hour, neither of them gaining ground over the other.

He backed off to get some distance but she pursued him so he made several shadow clones to distract her.

"Shugohakke Rokujyuu Yonshou!" Suddenly beams of chakra shot through his clones.

"Rasengan!" He aimed just under her neck, but didn't let it connect, leaning closer to her ear. "You know what, you truly are a skilled ninja. In fact, if I didn't know the byakugan's only blind spot I probably wouldn't have beat you."

She turned around to see a glowing green orb in his palm, "H-h-how do you know my clan's secret, and how do you know the Rasengan? Only three people have ever used that move. Well, four, including you."

He absorbed the chakra ball back into his hand, his face growing somber. "Well, to answer your second question, the Rasengan is a technique that the 4th Hokagae developed. Since then, only the friends and relatives of the Uzumaki Family have been taught it. But considering it is the second hardest jutsu to learn there have only been, as you said, four people who can actually use it. If you haven't guessed it by now, Naruto and I are the only Uzumakis still alive, though Naruto most likely thinks that he is the only one left of his family. If you don't mind, I would like to be the one to tell him.

"The answer to your first question is a secret that only the Hokagae and I know, and I want you to promise me that you will not tell a single soul. Is that clear?" His face was dead serious now.

"H-H-Hai," she stammered at the mention of her crush's name.

"You may want to sit down, this may unsettle you." They sat down under one of the trees by a small pond.

"Well, it started 19 years ago. There was a dragon named Uwibami, and for the most part he was a peaceful dragon leaving the people in the surrounding villages alone. That all changed when men from some of the villages stole some of the dragon eggs from his nest. Needless to say, he was pissed off, as would any other creature be, but since dragons are prideful creatures, Uwibami took it personally, blaming all of mankind. So, for 2 years he attacked and killed many people, a number of them being elite ninjas. In his last fight he fought a woman from the Hyuuga clan; it was during this fight that Uwibami discovered the byakugan's blind spot. Seeing that she was about to die, the woman sealed Uwibami into a baby boy, me." At this he looked down at his feet. Would the first friend he made in this village hate him now? Well, he was used to it. The only people that didn't hate him were the Hokagae and a handful of the villagers back in the mountains. He looked back up at Hinata expecting her to hate him, but to his surprise she didn't run away or give him nasty looks. Instead she gave him a look of concern, not for her sake, but for his. He looked off into the distance to gather his thoughts, and then continued.

"As you have probably noticed during our sparing mach, I have a unique chakra system. One common misconception is that I am a jinjuriki, but there are differences between me and a jinjuriki. One being, the fact that unlike the jinjuriki, Uwibami's chakra has fused with my own; there is no possible way to separate us. Secondly Uwibami is not a demon; he is a dragon that was just misunderstood."

"B-B-but I thought that dragons were just a legend, a myth and nothing more," Hinata said, exasperated.

"Well, to the rest of the world they are. Many centuries ago dragons and humans used to live together in peace, but eventually people grew afraid of the power that dragons had. As a result, a war erupted. After many years of fighting, the dragons found it pointless and hid in the mountains never to meet mankind again. It wasn't until many centuries later that a clan found the dragons in the mountains. That clan is now known as the Dracamori clan. Ever since that day the Dracamori clan has been the safe keepers of dragon kind." He shrugged, "My mother was Dracamori and my father was Uzumaki, so I too have the responsibility of taking care of dragon kind." Pausing for a moment David reflected on his past thinking if there was anything he left out that may be relevant. "Damn, I forgot about Sakura. She is not going to be happy."

He quickly ran out to the field and formed a complex series of hand signs. "Summoning Jutsu!" he yelled. In a puff of smoke any doubt that Hinata had of David's story disappeared, because right in front of her was a dragon the size of a small car rubbing its head against David's shoulder. "Hinata I would like you to meet my best friend. Her name is Sakura." The dragon looked up at her and Hinata fainted on the spot. David ran to catch her but Sakura beat him to it, holding her by the jacket with her jaws.

–To tell you the truth Sakura, I half expected her to run away screaming.-

-Well, perhaps she is different, maybe she will accept you for who you are.- She placed Hinata against a tree and returned to David.

–I'll tell you one thing though Sakura, I am really tired. She is no push over. I almost needed to use Uwibami's power to get through that battle.- He laid his back against Sakura's warm chest keeping an eye on Hinata. –Hinata is really something. She is such a good friend too. I wonder what she will think of you when she wakes up.-

-Who knows, only time will tell.-
