Chapter 2: Tsunade's Return and The Genin Exams
Rayne's POV
And so it begins, Tsunade and I were heading to this village called Hidden Leaf or other words Konoha. It was in the fire country. It took us three days to finally reach it, I never realised we were so far from this village.
Before we entered the village, there were large gates that blocked the entrance. Two ninjas were on guard, as they should be. But I knew that I could get passed them without even having to pass these gates. They weren't all that great if they only allowed two ninjas to guard the front entrance to the village.
I looked at Tsunade with a annoyed look on my face. 'Are these ninjas even elite? Even a girl of my calibre could get passed them without the need to pass the gates.' I thought my eyebrow twitching.
"You better not be thinking about using your skills to pass the gates Rayne. We need to be civilised understood?" Tsunade hissed into my ear as she leaned over.
I growled, well there goes that plan. Tsunade I'm sure would be able to catch me if I did try. Then again I've out ran her millions of times during training. She may be a sennin, but she was nowhere near as fast as me.
"Who goes there?" a guard demanded, his arms crossed over his chest.
"I am Tsunade, and this is my student Rayne. We're here to take the genin exams." Tsunade stated.
The guards nodded opening the gates. Well that sure was easy. When I could finally see what the village looked like. I couldn't say that I was impressed. The villagers I've noticed were focusing their glares at one individual with blonde hair brighter than the sun, sky blue eyes brighter than my own, sun kissed skin, wearing kill me now orange.
There was something about this boy that called out to me. I didn't know what it was, maybe it was familiarity, like I knew him or something. That couldn't be possible I've never met this boy in my life.
He was seated in front of a small building. In front of him was a bowl of ramen noodles. I wanted to roll my eyes at the predictable notion there. I knew someone who absolutely loved ramen, because Tsunade a number of times told me about him. She also told me that he sacrificed his life to save the village from Kyuubi.
I think she called him Minato Namikaze, the fourth Hokage. I wanted to call him stupid. I wanted to say he was reckless, fighting a battle that couldn't be won without sacrificing a life to seal it away.
I knew about the ultimate death reaper seal. It was the very seal that sealed the Kyuubi within a boy. Looking closely even though he was covered in kill me now orange, my eyes were able to detect a seal on his body, just above his novel.
My eyes widened. Oh my dear god, he's the fourth's son isn't he?
"I guess you've figured it out, Rayne. Yes, that boy at Ichiraku's Ramen, is none other then Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, the fourth's son. But as law dictates we cannot say a word until his eighteenth birthday when his inheritance would be given to him. Rayne I want you to protect him." Tsunade said her arms folded behind her back as she looked at me.
I raised an eyebrow. "Why should I? The boy is nothing to me." I said with a frown.
"That maybe, but that boy believe it or not, is your twin brother. I took you away and raised you as my own for your safety, no one is supposed to know that you exist. You are the second last Namikaze alive." Tsunade stated.
I sighed, "Okay I will protect him. I think being his sister would be a different change but I can handle change." I said with a smile.
Tsunade nodded, with that she vanished with quick flashes. I knew she was going to the hokage tower where Sarutobi was. I walked up to the boy who was eating his noodles alone and took a seat beside him.
"So, you are Naruto are you not?" I said after a moment of silence.
It wasn't that I didn't know what to say to the kid. It was the fact that he's on his fifth bowl already. Like how much can he possibly eat? Not to mention that it was gross at his eating habits when he shoves it into his mouth.
He stopped eating for a moment to look at me. He nods. "Yes I am. Who are you?" He asked.
"I am Rayne Senju, it's nice to meet you." I told him, I wondered why I used only half my name.
My real name is Rayne Senju Namikaze. The second last Namikaze, or so Tsunade told me. What if there were some still alive? They just didn't live in this village.
Then I leaned over and whispered into his ear. "Don't tell anyone, but I'm your twin sister. I may not look like it, but I am. I also was told to protect you should I need to."
Naruto's face was comical. His eyes were widened, and looked like was about to cry. Before I had a chance to move, his arms were around my waist, and he was sobbing.
My face softened, as I wrapped my arms around him. It must have been too much for him. I knew he grew up without a family, and that the village every year on October 10th, would hunt him down. Sometimes they nearly kill him in this hunt.
I knew the village wanted him dead, but it wasn't something he could control. He was a baby when the seal happened. He didn't kill anyone, he was a innocent boy. Now I see what Tsunade was talking about. I will protect him from harm. This village will get what is coming to them just wait.
Not too long after we took the genin exams. We had to do three things, Shadow Clones, Substitution, and hand to hand combat. If we did excellent on all three we passed.
It was a rather easy test. One that I could pass with ease. When it got to my name I went up.
"Okay Rayne, make three shadow clones, a substitution, transform into the hokage and then hand to hand combat with one of the chunnin in this room." Iruka the academy sensei said.
I nodded, without using hand signs, three clones appeared at my side. They were all solid, I never made the kind that were just illusions. Then I replaced myself with a chair, then I transformed into the hokage, then came the hand to hand fight.
I was fighting against Mizuki, a chuunin. And from the looks of it he constantly sent glares at Naruto. I glared at him he will get what is coming to him. There was something about him that I didn't like.
Within not even a minute, I had beaten Mizuki, by knocking him out. I wouldn't kill him, at least not yet.
The students in the room had looked at me in awe. Most likely wondered how I defeated a chuunin.
Finally Naruto went up, he did shadow clones, unfortunately they looked dead. Then he replaced himself with a chair, then fought a chuunin named Kazuki. Naruto won that fight, but he didn't pass.
Naruto was sad, and was sitting on the swing that was outside the academy. I had my headband tied around my arm. The students and parents of those students were saying awful things about Naruto. Calling him a monster, and hoping he dies.
I growled, glaring at all of them. However they didn't notice my glare, I walked up to Naruto.
"Hey Naruto. Why don't I train you?" I said to him.
"Why would you train a failure like me? I can't do anything right…" Naruto whispered but I could still hear him.
"It's because I'm your sister, Naruto. I will protect you like I've told you. I will train you, you need to learn how to do a proper bushin." I told him with a smile.
He nodded, then grinned. Now that was my Naruto. Always happy, just the way I liked it. I took him to a training ground, just behind Tsunade's house. For hours I trained him, in ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu. I also trained him in kenjutsu, which is swords.
He really was a fast learner. But because the teachers at the academy were always holding back on his education, not really wanting to teach him anything. They wanted him as weak as possible.
I taught him a few jutsu's that would prove to be very powerful against certain enemies. I created one jutsu that works against Orochimaru Tsunade's ex teammate. I called it Poison Release: Toushin Hisoka.
It was a attack that used any surrounding, turning them into poisonous objects. Now take the grass for instance, I could turn a single blade of grass into the most deadliest of objects just using my chakra. Now imagine a thousand of them, but all covered in the most toxic of poisons, that were so poisonous that not even one who was obsessed with the snake look would be able to fight it. Not even a med nin who worked for him, what was his name? Ah yes Kabuto.
Since we were surrounded by grass, those blades of grass became deadly sharp needles covered in a very potent poison that can kill you if your hit. I wondered why I taught Naruto this attack.
I dodged them all, even if I was hit by one of those, I have the antidote that runs in my blood.
When I created this attack, at first I didn't know how to beat it at it's own game. But then I got the idea to always have the antidote run through my blood so I could never get poisoned by it.
I taught him Katon: Lava stone blast. A bunch of stones were encased in lava. Now this attack allows the rocks to burn through anything they touch. Raiton: Lightning Strike, another powerful attack, Suiton: Water Dragon, Suiton: Water Bullets, and Suiton: Twin Dragon Twister.
I taught him Doton: Mud Wall, Doton: Rock Spear, Doton: Rock Dragon. The last two I created on my own.
One might ask if I'm obsessed with dragons as most of my attacks have dragon in them. But that isn't the case, because one I love dragons sure but it helps with enemies that have the advantage. They would never see it coming and wouldn't be able to dodge the attack.
I could see Naruto getting tired so I stopped training for the day.
"You did great Naruto. You are a fast learner." I told him with a smile ruffling his hair.
Naruto grinned. Now I just wondered when they'll hold the genin exams again. The next day another genin exam was held for those who didn't pass. Naruto was the one who had to attend that one.
Hours later he exited the academy with a headband around his forehead. He passed I was so happy and proud of him.
