Alright, here it is, the new story! The Next Carriers of the Will of Fire! Sorry it took a while to start this and get it up! Just a reminder that I do not own Naruto. I do own Hoshi, Haku, Nobuyuki, Masaki, Chiasa, Sora, Taro, Cho Azami, Yuichi, Kohaku, Shika, and Akio.
Full Summery: Haku and Hoshi have already started to grow up. They're just a few months away from joining the academy. Their father and the sixth Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto with his wife Hinata have already started to train both of them to become amazing shinobi. He has only told his daughter about the Kyuubi sealed within her because she has the whisker marks just like her father. It's still unknown to Haku. Her grandfather is still telling Hoshi that she is weak and can never be a leader. While she struggles through the judgment of her clan she also must endure the village, as they are fully aware of the demon within her. She also must live with her brother who knows that the demon is within her and will usually side with the bullies that pick on her so they won't hurt him too. She's felt alone for so long but she finally comes out of her shell again when she meets a new boy and his sister that have come to the village. While Hoshi is finally making friends Haku is busy trying to surpass his sister in basic training. His goal already is to be recognized as himself and not just the son of the Hokage and the leader of the Hyuuga clan or the brother of the heiress and a demon. And yet, he's too scared to tell anyone about a person he sees in his dreams that keeps telling him to "release the seal". Together they will learn to become close again, stay loyal to the ones they care about, and train to become the next leaders of Konoha.
The Jailer and the Ignored
Haku and Hoshi are both six and will soon be turning seven and Nobuyuki is three
Hoshis POV
I'm running down the streets of Konoha as fast as my legs can carry me. When I'm inside I see kids running as fast as they can too. But they are never chased like I am. They run and laugh and smile. Me, I run out of fear. If other kids trip, they might cry but someone always helps them up and makes sure that they're not hurt. If I fall, the people chasing me will come and hit me. They call me names like "monster" and "demon". They tell me I should die and more than one demon in the village is too much.
I understand them. When I was little Otou-sama told me about what had happened. He originally was the one that held the Kyuubi within him because the fourth Hokage sealed it. But when were very small the demon let it's chakra slip into me and Nii-san. I was the only one allowed to know. Otou-sama said he wanted to try and let us have a better childhood than he did. So he kept it a secret. I had to know because people could see the marks on my face. Because I was forever going to be the victim of the attacks Otou-sama and Okaa-sama both started to teach me ninjutsu.
Nii-san hates me because of it. He is upset because he has me as his sister and I'm stronger than him. Otou-sama and Okaa-sama try and teach him too but he always has problems learning. I think he just has a lot of chakra and isn't able to control it. I've been forced to learn so I won't hurt myself or anyone else. But it's still hard. I hear them gaining on me. I'm scared; at first it was just the usual bullies. Now it's grown-ups too. I hear them getting closer to me.
"Don't let the demon get away! Quickly get her! We need to kill her!" I hear them shout. I am already starting to tremble. I try to look around and find a place to hide. They're already starting to figure out some hiding places I have in the village. I would have to be careful. I quickly turn a corner only to run into someone and fall. Most kids my age would cry. I can't do that anymore. I stopped doing that when I was four. I look up to see men standing over me with belts and planks of wood. Tears rush to my eyes as I look at them. Knowing that if I don't figure out a way to escape they'll beat me until I die.
"You demon. We were fine with one. He has earned his right. You haven't. You need to die before you infect more people and they become demons too!" they say. I want to run. I want to escape them. But I'm too scared. I can't move my legs. I'm trembling so much and tears are running down my face. I just look away try not to look any weaker. I see them raise their weapons. I can't do anything to escape now. The only protection I can give myself is putting my hands over my head and scream for someone to help me. I close my eyes and wait for the pain. It never comes. I feel myself being picked up and hugged. I open my eyes to see Otou-sama holding me and glaring at the villagers.
"H-Hokage-sama! We know the girl is important to you but really, she's a demon and we need to get rid of her!" one of them yell. I hold on to Otou-sama tight and just pray that both of us will be safe.
"She's a six year old girl. She really isn't a threat to anyone. She was just out playing and she has to run away from this!?" he yelled at them. The villagers seemed scared. They all slowly started leaving but they shot glares back at me. Otou-sama just smiles. I know he would protect me no matter what. I hug him and he carries me down the street.
"O-Otou-sama, I'm alright, I can walk…" I tell him. He just smiles and holds me tighter.
"No Hoshi-chan, I saw you fall earlier. Rest a little bit. Okaa-sama would be upset if she found out you had to walk on a bad leg. It's fine." I smile back. I thought we were going home. Instead he instead he took the path that goes to the Hokage mountain. I like it up here. I feel safe and I like looking down at the village. Even though there are so many people in the village that don't like me and want me dead. When I come up here I always feel safe. I guess it's because Otou-sama's face is on the mountain. Otou-sama let me down and I sat down with him.
"Hoshi, I know this is so hard for you. I would do anything to go back and make sure that you didn't have the Kyuubi in you like me." He says while looking out at the village. I sit close to him and hug him. When we come here we always stay up here for a long time. As we sit there I feel tired. Otou-sama smiles and picks me up. He lets me fall asleep in his arms and I wake up a little while later here in my room.
Haku's POV
I hear the sound of someone walking into the house. I just shrug it off. It's probably Hoshi coming home. I really hope she doesn't come here. I don't want to talk to her now. Right now, I just have to stay out here with these training dummies and practice until I finally can get some of the jutsu's I've learned right. Hoshi has always been better at this than me. I don't know why. I think it's because of the Kyuubi sealed in her.
I know she's my sister. She's always been my sister. But ever since I found out she has a demon in her. It's been different. I have friends; they all told me that their parents said they can't be with her. She tries to come with me sometimes and play. They always yell at her and call her names. It hurts but I do it too. If I didn't they'd turn on me. I usually deny that I'm Hoshi's big brother though. It's easy because we don't look alike at all. I know she's my sister. But sometimes I really do see her the way everyone else does.
And yet I don't care about the demon. But I still hate her. It's always about her! Otou-sama always is helping her. Okaa-sama is always teacher her jutsu I can't learn because I don't know how to use Byakugan. And even with the demon inside of her the Hyuuga clan still loves her because her kekki genki is strong. That's the only reason I think Otou-sama trains me. It's because he refuses to let the clan say I'm weak because I don't have the Byakugan yet. I hate being ignored. I'm never known as just Uzumaki Haku, I'm always the son of the Hokage, son of the leader of the noble Hyuuga clan, brother of the heiress to the Hyuuga clan or brother of a demon.
I am going to make that happen. I will be known as me. Even if I have to leave Hoshi completely I just want to make my dream come true. I suddenly hear a noise behind me. I turn and see Hoshi standing there hold our little brother Nobuyuki's hand.
"Nii-san, D-Do you mind… I-If I train too? Nobuyuki wants to watch." Hoshi says. Nobuyuki lets go of Hoshi's hand and runs over to me.
"Nii-san! I wanna see your cool jutsu! Nee-chan can do the jutsu Otou-sama showed her. I wanna see you do it too!" he yells as he jumps up and down. I look over to Hoshi who look a little embarrassed. I look down at Nobuyuki and gently push him back to Hoshi.
"No! I'm busy! Hoshi play with him. I can't have you here too right now! I'm having some problems on that jutsu and need to concentrate." I tell her. She just smiles and walks over to a training dummy.
"Which just Nil-san? I can help you." She says.
"Look it's nothing! Kage-bunshin-no-jutsu that's it. I can do it myself." I tell her. She just ignores what I say and makes the hand seals.
"Oh just this? Kage-bunshin-no-jutsu!" she yells and three of her appear. They all smile and Nobuyuki claps and hugs one of the clones.
"Nee-chan that was cool!" Nii-san you do it!" he orders. I nervously make the seals.
"Kage-bunshin-no-jutsu!" I yell. Only one of me comes and he looks dead. Nobuyuki laughs and Hoshi walks over to me.
"Don't worry, it just takes a bit more control. Just relax at first and then figure out exactly how much chakra you need for the jutsu. After that it's easy!" she says and smiles. I'm doing my best to not yell at her. Nobuyuki is still laughing.
"Nee-chan is better than you Nii-san! And she's a girl! Boys are supposed to be better ninja!" he tells me. Now I'm upset. Hoshi glares at him.
"Not true! A kunoichi can be just as strong as any other shinobi!" she tells him.
"No, he's right… I'm older, I'm a boy, and I'm supposed to be better than you Hoshi." I tell her. I refuse to look at her.
"Not true Nii-san! I can be just as strong as you even though I'm a girl!" she yells.
"You aren't that strong! You don't even have real power! You just have a demon in you and because of that you think you have power! Well you know what? You don't! I'm ten times stronger than you! I should just listen to the villagers! They're all right! You're nothing but a demon that just needs to go away!" I yell at her. She freezes as she looks at me. I can see tears by her eyes. I feel happy that I finally get to make sure she knows that I'm the big brother so I'm the one in charge. Nobuyuki is yelling something about how I need to say sorry. I just ignore him. Hoshi suddenly burst out crying and runs back into the house. I hear her crying for Otou-sama and Okaa-sama. It takes a few minutes but Otou-sama comes out and looks very upset.
"Haku, did you really tell her those things?" he asks me. I can tell he's trying to not yell. Nobuyuki runs over to him and nods.
"Otou-sama! Nii-san was being so mean to Nee-chan! He really did call her a demon!" he says as Otou-sama is trying his best to calm down.
"Nobuyuki, go inside. Go find Okaa-sama and try to cheer up Hoshi." He orders. Nobuyuki looks nervous and runs inside.
"Otou-sama she needed to hear it! I'm the oldest! I'm sick of her always being better at the training than me!" I start telling him.
"I don't care! She could be as strong as a Jounin and you could still be in the academy for all I care! If you ever tell her those things again won't train you Haku, and I'll make sure you get held back in the academy so everyone knows your sister is stronger." He tells me. I feel like crying now. It's not fair. I nod and look down. He takes me into the house. I can still hear Hoshi crying as I go to my room.
"Haku, stay here until I tell you to come out!" he yells as he closes the door. I just take my toy shrunken and throw them at the wall.
It's stupid! I don't care what Otou-sama says. Nee-chan really is a demon. I agree with everyone else! And I won't be related to her anymore! I was from now on only going to be known as me. Uzumaki Haku. As long as people would recognize me that's all I cared about.
Wow that was long! I am already in love with writing this! I just can't wait for what happens! Yes I know Haku sounds kinda evil and he's so mean to Hoshi. But trust me, he changes. He really will become close with Hoshi. Anyway, that's it for now! Please review!
