A New Face – The Story of Inuzuka Ashi
Foreword:
First off, I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto does. Secondly, this story is a bit odd, mostly because it includes a whole host of characters that don't exist in the manga or anime. And they aren't crossovers, all out of place characters are made of whole cloth. The changes are as follows:
First, the main character of this fic is Inuzuka Ashi. He is Kiba's cousin; orphaned while young he and Kiba grew up as brothers. He befriended Hinata shortly after his parents' death, seeking comfort from outside his family. Ashi was as much of a friend to her as her father, Hiashi, would allow and they are somewhat close. Also in Konoha are:
Koryuu Sato - an extremely silly and juvenile Taijutsu specialist
Morino Teru - younger brother of Ibiki Morino by 15 years, Teru is a usually calm and collected genjutsu specialist.
The silent ninja – nicknamed "Silent" (for simplicity sake), his dark brown cloak drains him of any energy that would go towards emotions and stores it in a series of special blue lines tattooed all over his body, he can transform into any kind of animal in the blink of an eye and uses fuuton, or wind release, a little more proficiently than would be expected of a genin. His name comes from his lack of speech and a lack of knowledge of his family, eliminating the possibility of referring to him simply by his family name.
Hagane Kobu - a harsh, cocky brawler who wields a giant spiked ball and chain. Held back a year, he is the biggest member of his graduating class, standing at 5'10" and 185 lbs, all muscle. His only close friends are Myuuki and Hanzou.
Nakamura Myuuki - a pretty genjutsu user whose bloodline enables her to interact with the chemicals in her opponent's brain.
Hanzou - a grim, determined ninja, he possesses a Sharingan-like doujutsu, due to his ancestors breaking off from the Uchiha Clan just one generation after the sharingan developed in their family. His parents were killed at an early age, and the rest of his family lives in another country. He dropped his last name after that event, and as such, no one knows who his family is.
Hikaru Musashi - a traditional swordsman who wields a Katana, wears red samurai armor, and can see possible futures, his eyes are purple. His sense of honor is almost unrivaled.
The Zenma Clan - a noble clan that has a raiton, or lightning release, bloodline. They are the bitter rivals of the Hyuugas.
Zenma Jiitri – son of the matriarch and the heir to the Zenma clan, Jiitri is very arrogant but has a sense of honor and dignity. He is extremely loyal to his clan and an excellent fighter.
In Suna, there is one new team. It is made up of Sabaku no Haro and Sabaku no Jin, the identical twin sons of Yashamaru. Haro can cause metal to be attracted to or repulsed from a certain spot or object and Jin has a direct control of metal. There teammate is Yamamoto Iso, a deadly kunoichi who uses metal boomerangs to complement her teammates style of fighting.
In sound there is ninja from the same homeland as Musashi who has the same power. His name is Hikaru Hatori.
Furthermore there are three rogue villages. Each of them calls their leader Kage although the other villages do not recognize this. Wind village, which is made up mostly of sand renegades, is constantly on the move to avoid Sand. They have fuuton jutsus usually. Heaven village is made up of people from a huge mix of backgrounds. They have doton and can affect the earth they use with a piercing white chakra. Finally, Specter village is mostly made up of renegades from leaf. It is led by a powerful ninja call Jimaru, seconded by Niisan. All of Specter has a special bloodline that allows them to become ethereal.
Shinobi were renegade ninja, usually jounin level or higher, who, because they have no affiliation to a village, simply refer to themselves as "Shinobi," instead of ninjas.
