Chapter 1: Raiden
The sun slowly rose over Konagakure, the village hidden in the leaves, illuminating a 5'6" tall figure training on the Hokage monument. The figure had a black jacket with a giant Senju clan symbol on the back of the Jacket.
As the figure spun his sword, a katana type blade, being 2'5" long with a black blade and red seals along the length, and spun on his heel, his jacket whirling around him, revealing the figures fair skin and face.
The boy, as he was now revealed to be, had a pointed chin, high cheekbones, deep violet eyes and predominately white hair with blood red streaks in a ponytail that reached to below his shoulders. Framing his face was a white happuri.
Underneath his jacket the boy wore a white shirt and had on black pants. On the boys left hip he wore an extremely large weapons pouch While he had a large sealed box, half the size of his thigh on his right leg. On his feet he wore a pair of white shinobi sandals.
Once he was finished he calmly walked towards a large scroll, about 60 cm long and 15 cm in diameter, resting against a tree. He quickly unrolled the scroll and bit his thumb, swiping it across the first seal and storing away his sword whilst unsealing a smaller scroll.
He picked up the larger scroll and strapped it to his hips horizontally and placed the smaller one in his pants pocket before walking towards the edge of the cliff before jumping onto the second Hokages head.
As he landed he took again bit his thumb before swiping it over the smaller scroll now in his hand, unsealing a fuinjutsu calligraphy set. As he began to draw the seal, a customised gravity seal, he heard the sounds of metal hitting metal and looked over the edge of Tobiramas' head. The boy smiled when he saw the village pariah, and his best friend, Naruto Uzumaki climbing up the side of the monument with buckets of paint.
"What are those for Naruto?" The figure shouted at the orange clad boy.
Naruto didn't even bother looking up as he knew exactly who was talking to him. He was the only person he knew that would be awake this early. "You tell me Raiden!" Yelled Naruto in response.
The now named Raiden just smiled and shook his head before finishing the last part of the seal. As he rolled up the scroll and packing the calligraphy set before placing both into his jacket he shouted back to his friend, a knowing smile on his face, "I know, please try to be artistic this time. And leave my great grandfather out of this!" As he stood to go he left Naruto with a warning "Try be on class on time today. Otherwise Iruka-sensei is going to be pissed!"
With those words Raiden headed home to the Senju clan compound to get a shower and breakfast before heading to the academy.
4 hours later
Raiden chuckled as Iruka dragged Naruto into class tied in ropes. He tuned out Iruka's lecture before he heard the part about reviewing the transformation jutsu, at this he just face palmed as he watched Iruka call out names. Each person turning into a copy of Iruka. He watched as Hizen Hyuga, his friend and rival, was called up.
Aizen had a black pair of wraparound sunglasses covering his white eyes and long spikey dark blue hair that hung to the bottom of his shoulders, he wore a black long sleeved shirt with the Hyuga clan symbol on his left shoulder and black ANBU style pants with a weapon pouch strapped to his left leg. He also wore a sleeveless white coat with a tribal design on the back of two tigers roaring to the sky on either side of a six pointed star on the back. Once he completed the task perfectly, transforming into a perfect copy of Iruka, he returned to his seat.
Raiden once again zoned out as more people were called until he again focused as Iruka calls Sariah Jishaku. She too had dark blue hair in a random, 360 degree, spiked style at the back of her head and long bangs at the front and covering one of her golden yellow eyes. She wore a steel mesh shirt, silver lose fitting pants and a belt with a decorative metal buckle in the shape of the kanji for silver and magnetism. On her forearms she wore a pair of silver gauntlets with large, intertwined blue lines forming a powerful storage seal. Over all of this she wore a dull grey coat that split above her waist and only had a single sleeve. She also wore dull silver combat boots on her feet.
Raiden smiled at his crush as she performed a transformation of the third kazekage, Fujin Jishaku, her grandfather. She caught him smiling from the corner of her eye and returned the gesture as she returned to her seat.
"Raiden Senju." Called Iruka. Raiden sighed as he walked to the front before preforming the required hand seals. With a cry of "Transformation jutsu" Raiden was surrounded by a coat of pure dark blue chakra before it burst outwards, pushing Iruka back and surrounding Raiden in a puff of smoke.
As the smoke cleared it revealed a perfect copy of Tobirama Senju, the second hokage, where Raiden had once stood. "Perfect as always Raiden" said a smiling Iruka. The Tobirama clone nodded before ending the technique, again pushing Iruka back. "I will never get used to that" muttered Iruka as Raiden headed back to his seat, a smirk adorning his face.
As the last few students completed the task Raiden began to worry about what Naruto would do as, knowing his friend he was likely going to try to get back at Iruka. "Naruto Uzumaki!" Iruka called as the orange clad boy stepped up. Raiden sighed as he waited for Naruto's next prank.
"Transform" shouted Naruto as he was covered in a cloud of smoke. As the smoke dispersed it revealed Naruto as a busty female version of himself, with long blond hair in two pigtails and smoke covering her breasts and most sacred parts. Raiden began to bang his head on the table, only vaguely hearing Naruto's statement.
After Iruka had again berated the boy after he transformed back, and Iruka recovered from his nosebleed, he continued until the end of the day. As Raiden walked out of the room he sighed as he watched Iruka drag Naruto towards the monument, likely to clean off the paint from his prank. As he left he wished his
friend luck for the exam tomorrow.
Next day, after exams
Everyone crowded outside the academy, parents congratulating their children for passing the exam, as easy as it was. Everyone was celebrating, except for a certain blond haired pariah. As Raiden walked out of the academy he saw his depressed friend sitting on a swing under a tree not far from the academy entrance. He sighed as he walked towards his friend whilst eating a stick of pocky or, as he called it 'god's gift to mortals' trying to figure out a way to cheer up his friend.
Raiden stopped when he saw Mitsuki leading his friend away. Raiden became worried as he didn't trust Mitsuki with Naruto as he always seemed to be exceptionally prejudiced against Naruto. He followed them closely but lost them as they moved towards the rooftops as he got lost in the labyrinth of roofs after a while.
"Damn, lost them. I only have one option, sensing. Hell this won't end well, I always get a bloody headache when I do this" He grumbled as he leaned down, placing his hand on the ground and sending out pulses of chakra at regular intervals, creating a sonar like effect as some of the chakra reflected back creating an image of the village and most of its inhabitants.
His head began to pound at the sudden influx of information but pushed through and, after a couple minutes ordering the flow of information, began to search for his target. He eventually found him going towards the forest surrounding Konoha that gave it its name. Shaking of the headache he shot of in pursuit of Naruto.
Going at ridiculous speeds, at least by genin standards as he had always been the fastest in his class, it only took him a couple minuets to reach the spot he had predicted Naruto was heading. He rushed into the clearing and slid to a halt not far from where Naruto was sat reading a giant scroll he recognised but, for the life of him, couldn't remember where from.
"Naruto, what the hell are you doing here? And where did you get that scroll?" Raiden questioned as he walked forward and sat next to his friend.
"Oh, hey Raiden! I'm taking the special exam that Mitsuki-sensei told me about! He told me that anyone who learns a technique from this scroll automatically becomes a genin, believe it!" Shouted Naruto, a foxy grin plastered to his face.
This didn't sound right to Raiden but filed this away as he wasn't one to let a chance to learn a new technique pass him by. "Oh really, well let's see what else is on there." Said Raiden as he sat next to his friend. He further unrolled the scroll searching for a good technique until on caught his eye. It was a technique based on two of his greatest skills, Fuinjutsu and speed.
Time passed quickly as the two friends practiced their chosen techniques, waiting for Mitsuki to come and test Naruto. Raiden stood in a tree a couple meters away from Naruto when Iruka entered the clearing, moving towards Naruto. At first Raiden believed that Mitsuki had sent Iruka in his place to test Naruto so he stayed where he was and waited. From where he was he could not here the words exchange by the two but from Iruka's baffled expression he figured out the truth, Naruto had been tricked into doing something that could get him killed.
Raiden shot towards the two. As he got into hearing range he saw Mitsuki enter the clearing and attack Iruka. "So that's the way it is, ha? I should have known!" Iruka exclaimed as he struggled against the kunai knives pinning him to the wall.
"Naruto, give me the scroll, now." Mitsuki ordered Naruto as Raiden entered the clearing from his blind spot, Iruka's eyes widening as Raiden jumped to the ground silently. As he moved towards Naruto and Iruka he was caught off guard by Iruka's comment about the scroll. 'That explains where I remember the scroll from, It's the scroll created by Tobirama-jiji! How did I not recognise it earlier!' ranted Raiden to himself. The next words he heard shocked him to his core.
"They've been lying to you your whole life, Naruto. Since the decree twelve years ago." Mitsuki said. 'Twelve years ago, the only notable event back then was the death of the fourth, Kushina-oba and the kyuubi atta…Wait Naruto is an Uzumaki and the fourth was a fuinjutsu master…Could he be like Mito-sama…' Raiden thought. Mitsuki's next words confirms his theory.
"The decree is that no one can tell you that the kyuubi no kitsune is inside you! The fox spirit that killed Iruka's parents and destroyed our village has taken over your body! You are the kyuubi no kitsune!" Shouted Mitsuki. 'So he IS like Mito-sama, a jinchuriki. That's the reason the villagers hate him? Idiot's! A jinchuriki holds the beast, it doesn't become it!' Raiden mentally shouted, nearly face palming at the villages stupidity.
Raiden noticed Mitsuki's hand moving towards the large shuriken on his back. Smirking to himself one thought passed through Raiden's mind as he palmed a kunai. 'Time to test out this technique in a fight.'
Iruka's point a view
"Die Naruto" Mitsuki shouted as he threw the shuriken he had grabbed from his back, throwing it at the boy Iruka considered a younger brother. This caused Iruka to hesitate. He started moving to late, knowing he wouldn't be able to save his student. He noticed a stylized kunai hit the ground in front of Naruto. It had spikes coming back from the blade, making it look more like an oversized arrowhead than a knife. On its handle it had a custom design, two hollow diamonds in a circle, overlapping each other with a six armed spiral overlapping it all, originating from the centre of the overlap. Three kanji shined in blue over the black pattern, space and time being in the two diamonds, and void inside the overlap.
As the shuriken was nearing the air above the kunai something happened he never thought he would live to witness. Something that haunted the dreams of every Iwagakure Shinobi. In a flash of white light, a figure appeared above the kunai, cleaving the shuriken in two with a black katana, causing the two halves to fall to the floor a metre behind him. Iruka was again shocked as the figure turned around to reveal the tied rookie of the year, Raiden Senju.
Raiden's point a view
Raiden ignored the shocked look on Iruka's face, turning to check on his friend. He saw a fearful and scared look pass onto his friend's face. He smiled at Naruto before speaking. "I heard everything Naruto and it doesn't change anything. Your still my ramen obsessed best friend" 'And practically my little brother' Raiden mentally added. Seeing the uneasy look didn't leave his face he continued "I may not be a master like the fourth but I know a lot about fuinjutsu. You can seal a kunai in a scroll, but that scroll doesn't become a kunai. The same with you. The kyuubi is sealed in you but you aren't it."
Naruto was still unsure and shot off into the forest, Mitsuki chasing after him Iruka not far behind. Raiden sighed to himself and shot off at full speed in the opposite direction, towards the Hokage tower. It would be more productive if he told the old man were Naruto was then to chase after him himself.
