Prolouge
There was a party in Konoha as the nine royal children of said ninja village walked through the streets with Namikaze Naruto leading. The blond tried his hardest to shut out the glares that pelted him without closing his eyes and keeping a straight face. His heart felt like lead, quickly sinking deeper and deeper. But he tried his best to seem positive.
"Here they come. I hear the horses' hooves!" One man said from the crowd. Naruto stopped, as did the other royal kids. Sure enough, the sound of horses trotting into the village could be heard from behind. And then, in an instant, the nine royal children were gone, without a trace, while Sandaime looked from his tower.
"It's going to be quiet without you here Naruto." He said, as if Naruto could hear him. The old man then sighed and turned to sit down in his chair and resume his duties as the Hokage. The ride was anything but quiet as ten 12 year olds, a thirteen year old, and a fourteen year old all attempted to get settled in a small carriage. Okay, so the carriage was big, but not when there are twelve kids trying to get a good seat.
"Will you brats shut up!!" One of the women in the front shouted, while turning back to glare at them. She had two blonde pigtails and green eyes. There was also a purple diamond on her forehead. She looked very young, in her mid 20s at the most. While the other children quieted down, Naruto and Gaara glared at the woman who glared back. Temari felt a lump in her throat.
"Hey! You can't just kidnap us and then treat us like we're a bunch of little kids!" Naruto protested. Giving Naruto a murderous glare, the woman stopped the carriage.
"Who do you think you are, you little brat? Do you even know who I am? I am Tsunade, the Sannin of the slugs!" The woman shouted. Naruto, having never heard of the Sannin, retained his glare.
"So! I'm Namikaze Naruto, son of the 4th Hokage and container of the Kyubi no Kitsune!" Naruto shouted back. Tsunade looked at him and then at the other kids. She then ordered them out of the cart, and they all listened without argue. Once all twelve kids were out of the cart, Tsunade looked over all of them.
"Right now, identify yourself. Go in reading order." Tsunade commanded (that means go right to left, since that's the way the Japanese read).
"H-Hyuga Hinata."
"Akimichi Chouji."
"Sunarashi Gaara."
"Sunarashi Kankuro."
"Sunarashi Temari."
"Nara Shikamaru."
"Inuzuka Kiba."
"Uchiha Sasuke."
"Kurama Yakumo."
"Aburame Shino."
"Yamanaka Ino." Right as Naruto was about to give his name, Tsunade stopped him.
"Do you realize what you all just said to me?" She asked. There was a moment of silence as the kids attempted to come up with an answer.
"You just told me your legacies. You told me the reason all of you are here, to repersent your clan. You are all here to become the leader of your clans. You are all here because your backrounds put you in positions of power. You are all here to access that power. That, is what you just told me." Tsunade said. Not even Naruto spoke as the Sannin made her way back to the carriage. Slowly, the twelve children piled soundlessly into the cart, which took off as soon as the door closed. About two hours later, the thirteen shinobi (including Tsunade) arrived at a large mansion. There were pale mountains in the backround, covered in thick fog. Trees were randomly scattered around the property and grass padded the steps of the incoming ninja. There were two incredibly large rock gardens that were symetrically placed on opposite sides of the grassy walkway.
"You are now in the home of Houou-san. He, his assistands, and I will be your sensei from here on out. You will come here with only the stuff in your bags and your name. Now, please follow me." Tsunade said sternly as she turned and walked towards the mansion. The kids followed behind her, with the creeping suspicion that there was something watching them.
"Welcome." Said a man who looked to be in his late 30s/early 40s. He had dark brown hair and a shaven face along with green eyes. "I, am Houou Yoshi, master of the Zenchigan."
Chapter 1
It was the beginning of their second week at Houou's Mansion, and the kids were in their normal individual training schedules. Their monthly goals were posted in each of their training rooms.
"Man, this is tough." Naruto announced, as he once again attempted to run up the wall. He was able to rise an extra step before he fell back down, falling back on his head. The blond growled in pain and irritation as he slowly got up. A soft finger barely touched his shoulder and Naruto turned to see Hinata looking down. The girl looked at him.
"I-if y-you want, I can help y-you with your chakra control?" Hinata said timidly. Ino almost felt sorry for making Hinata do this...almost, but she then remembered that it was for Hinata's own good. And so, Ino went back to learning a technique from a scroll. The technique was called Ninja Art: Battlefield Jutsu.
"Really? Thanks Hinata!" Naruto said, his goofy grin plastered onto his face. Hinata was blushing like crazy as she slowly explained to Naruto how to control his chakra.
"I know, but I just can't do it." Naruto whined. Hinata fought hard not to wince at Naruto's loud voice as she began to think, not something she did well when under pressure.
"U-um, I think I have an idea..." Hinata said quietly. "M-May y-you please try it one more time." With a sigh, Naruto ran towards the wall and attempted to climb up. Hinata meanwhile activated her Byakugan. She nodded as she confirmed what she thought was happening. As usual, Naruto came falling onto the ground, where Hinata came up to him.
"So, what did you find out?" Naruto groaned. Hinata couldn't help but to smile.
"I-I t-think you're using too much chakra, and that's why you keep getting pushed off." Hinata explained, the stuttering slowly disappearing. Naruto looked at her blankly.
"I'm sorry." She said as she touched points on Naruto's legs.
"OW! What was that for?!" Naruto asked loudly. Once again, Hinata had to force herself not to flinch at Naruto's loud voice.
"I-I j-just cut off a b-bit of your chakra...s-so-"
"So that I won't use too much! Thanks Hinata, you are awesome!" Naruto giving Hinata a quick hug before he ran towards the wall. Ino walked over to her with a smile.
"See, that wasn't too hard, now was it?" Ino asked. Hinata didn't answer, but she was a deep red color, causing Ino to smile. Just as she looked up, she noticed something yellow above her. She looked up to see a grinning Naruto.
"Thanks again Hinata." Naruto said, standing upside down.
"Y-you're welcome." The Hyuga heir said before following Ino.
"Hey Hinata," Naruto called; Hinata looked back at him. "What are you working on?"
"U-um, -"
"YAHOO!! I did it!" Chouji suddenly shouted. All eyes wandered over to him, in order to see a skinny boy with incredibly baggy clothing. There was an odd silence.
"Who're you?" Naruto asked, just loud enough for the boy to hear him.
"It's me, Chouji!" Was the boy's answer. The other gave him an 'are-you-crazy?' look.
"I'm not sensing any GenJutsu." Yakumo stated. The boy seemed annoyed.
"I'm serious, watch. Secret Art:Body Fat Manipulation Jutsu." The boy said loudly. His body then expanded and there stood Chouji. The other twelve kids were awestruck.
"Amazing." Shikamaru mumbled. Chouji smiled as he reverted to his skinny form.
"Wait, doesn't that take up a lot of chakra?" Ino asked. Chouji shook his head.
"Not really. I could probably hold this up for a month and still use my techniques." Chouji explained. While everybody swarmed over to him, Sasuke stood in the back.
"Why are you upset, Uchiha-kun?" Came Houou-sensei's voice. Sasuke looked up at the man, taking in the man's eyes. Yes, today they were green, but they were always glowing and changing colors.
"I can't activate my Sharingan. I've been staring at this thing forever and it's not working." Sasuke complained holding up a spiraling board. Houou smirked.
"This is not to activate the Sharingan, Sasuke. It's to get you prepared for it." Houou said. Sasuke was about to say something, but noticed that Houou wasn't done speaking.
"Inuzuka! One of the Sunarashi! Kurama! Namikaze!" He barked. Kiba, Temari, Yakumo, and Naruto arrived quickly and then looked at Sasuke.
"Sasuke. These four will be your opponents. You four, you will not hold back, or else you get reduced rations. Sasuke, because of the board, your Sharingan should activate in an hour. You get an hour and a half. The rest of you, come with me." Houou said. The four looked at Sasuke and then at the retreating group of their fellow royals.
"Begin!" Shouted Tsunade. The five kids just stared at each other before.
"Jujin Bunshin!" Kiba shouted as his dog, Akamaru, transformed into a clone of him. Sasuke then began seeing a large vine shoot from the ground. The vine wrapped around Sasuke's neck, making him feel strangled. The vine disappeared when he got hit by Gatsuga. He barely dodged another Gatsuga, when Naruto appeared right behind him. The blond nailed Sasuke in the head with a kick, sending him tumbling forward.
"Dai Kamatachi!" Shouted Temari, swinging her giant fan. A huge gust of wind slammed into Sasuke, slicing him up and sending him backwards. The rest of the royals watched behind a chakra gate as Sasuke got pummeled.
Shit, another GenJutsu. Sasuke thought as vines began stabbing his body. Just as he cancelled the GenJutsu, Naruto had slammed his fist into the Uchiha's face sending flying into another Gatsuga. Sasuke slowly got up as the other four stood around him. Kiba charged again.
This is insanity, damnit. Sasuke thought as he dodged it, only to be met with another gust of wind, which blew him into a rose bush containing 5 inch spikes. It was getting harder and harder to distinguish the fake blood from the real blood and Sasuke again bit his tongue, causing it to bleed and releasing him from the GenJutsu. He then saw Temari's wind coming towards him. Suddenly, he could see blue strings being carried along with the wind and a maniacal smile broke across his face as he dodged it. He turned and was able to jump over it. A vine came speeding towards him and then it burst into flames.
This is it...the Sharingan. Sasuke thought as he performed some handseals.
"Katon: Gokakyu!" Sasuke shouted as he blew out a giant fireball at Naruto. He was shocked Naruto appeared behind him. Sasuke turned just in time to be able to catch Naruto's foot and fling him to the ground. The blond rebounded and Sasuke landed smoothly. Even Houou was surprise, although, he did know it was going to happen.
"Enough! Time for lunch." He said loudly. Sasuke smiled before collapsing on the ground. He felt himself being picked up and opened his eyes to see Naruto and Ino helping him up. Sasuke each arm around one of the blondes' necks and the Naruto and Ino pretty much carried him into the cafeteria.
