Naruto: Rise of Uchiha-Senju Naruto
Chapter 2: Shopping and Training, Academy Begins, and Massacre: There Can Be Only One!
AN/ YOSH! What up peeps, yes I stole the last part of the chapter name from Highlander, the TV series. NaruRikudo back, , of course since I posted this at the same time as chapter 1, hasn't been that long has it. Now the reason I did this? Twofold, first I still feel kinda guilty for disappointing all my NHSP fans who wanted it to continue, I just didn't have the heart to give you the dreaded AN/ chapter unless I had something really good to show for not continuing. Two I want to get the pre cannon crap out of the way quick as possible, so this is it then it is to wrap up of academy days, graduation, team placements and jonin test, which I shall use to bring Naruto closer to his sensei and you shall get some in-sight into the past I've made for FemKakashi. That's right! FemKakashi is one of the two definite girls in the harem, the other, hint she is a red head, but not an Uzumaki.
Now to Naruto. He is going to learn many techniques of his grandfather Tobirama's, and will have both Tobirama's and his father's contracts( although the Toads won't be for a while). Now I know what you're thinking, Tobirama had a summoning contract, the answer is no! But I gave him one so we're good(Nice guy pose!). I'll give hintsies, think Marine reptiles, not that many non-prehistoric ones, which is what it is, non-prehistoric, I'll just say I think they are badass.
I'm on the fence on whether to give him one from Madara/His Mother, if he does I wouldn't mind suggestions, but I'll say right now I am leaning towards Ravens because of his mother's nickname.
Now onwards my readers, with the powers of YOUTH!

Chapter 2: Shopping and Training, Academy Begins, and Massacre: There Can Be Only One!
-Koharu's Mansion, Next Day-
Naruto woke up to the unusual sensation of an extremely comfortable bed. He scrunched his closed eyes tight in confusion. Comfy bed? His bed at the orphanage was old and worn, not comfy! He then recalled the dream he had last night. He found out his parents were the Karasu no Oojo and the Kiroi Senko, and his grandfathers were Uchiha Madara and Senju Tobirama. His Baa-chan on his father's side was alive and she took him to live with her, and she was going to train him for the next couple years before the academy! Too bad it was just a dream. Although there was the fact his bed was softer than he remembered.
He sat up and opened his eyes and blinked once, twice, thrice. Yep there it was, he was in a luxurious queen sized bed. The room he was in had fancy walls and other stuff that belonged in a mansion. Then it hit him.
"Holy crap it wasn't a dream!" He shouted. His cry attracted the houses other occupant who was dressed already. She stepped into the doorway and looked at him.
"What wasn't a dream Naruto-chan?" Koharu asked in confusion.
"You, my parents, my grandfathers! I thought it was all a dream." He explained. Koharu gained a look of understanding.
"Ah, well I assure you, it was no dream Naruto-chan, you live with me from now on an I will be training you in all the various techniques left by your grandfather." She replied with a warm smile. Naruto jumped out of the bed and rushed over to her and hugged her around the waist while repeatedly thanking her. Tears of joy were leaking from his eyes.
Koharu smiled as she knelt down and lifted his chin to look into her eyes. She wiped his tears away while smiling before she spoke.
"Naruto-chan you never need to thank me for doing what any good grandparent should. Had I known who you were you would never have gone to that orphanage, duties as an elder be damned I would have raised you, but for now I will make up for lost time, starting in a half hour. First we are going to go eat a quick breakfast then go shopping, then the part you are probably looking forward to most, your first taste of shinobi training." She told him with a warm smile as she hugged him close to her.
Soon enough they broke apart and headed to the kitchen. They ate quickly then headed out for a shinobi store owned by an friend of Koharu.
-Higourashi Shinobi Store-
Koharu walked into the Higourashi Shinobi Store holding her grandsons hand. She watched in amusement as he looked around in wonder at all the different shinobi gear on display.
"Go ahead and look around Naruto-chan, see if you can find some clothes you like, if you choose wisely I might get you a special gift for your training." She told him. His eyes widened and he grinned before dashing away from her to go look at cloths
Koharu nodded in approval when she saw him looking at mostly black and grey clothing that was durable. She then turned and walked up to the counter where a large muscular man was waiting at the register. He had a unique hair style and facial hair(Think Hugh Jackman in X-Men).
"Hello Kota, it's good to see you." She said cheerily.
"Good day Koharu-sama, who's the gaki over there giving the stink eye to my merchandise." He asked in amusement. Koharu looked back and sweat dropped when she saw Naruto was indeed glaring at an orange jumpsuit as if wishing for the monstrosity to combust. Then they heard him mutter to himself.
"What kind of dumbass ninja wears that, that thing?" He asked in rhetorical disgust. Kota chuckled as he did agree with the boy, it was meant to be delivered to a civilian clothing store but was given to him on accident where as the black combat jacket and matching pants he ordered went to the civilians.
"Smart gaki realizing that it has no business being on a ninja, again, who is he? I'm curious because he looks like a mini-me of Minato, strange thing is he has Hitomi's eyes." He mused. Koharu didn't react, it figured Kota would figure it out, he was Minato and Hitomi's teammate. She figured he might as well be the first to know.
"He is my grandson, I only found out yesterday." She replied. Kota's eyes flashed in triumph as his assumptions were correct, now to settle one more theory.
"Tell me, this wouldn't happen to have any connection to the witch hunt on Danzo and his 'disbanded' ROOT, would it?" He asked in barely restrained rage. He never trusted Danzo when he was in Anbu, and to see he might have had something to do with his teammate and best friend not having a family, well let's just say he was contemplating gathering some ROOT and using them as dummies while teaching his daughter how to throw kunai and shuriken. Koharu's lips quirked as she guessed what he was thinking.
"It does." She answered simply.
"Ah, I think I'll get some new dummies for Tenten's target practice this evening." He said.
"Very good, now I need all the items on this list please, and if you don't mind I'd also like this." She told him as she wrote down something extra on the list. Kota looked at it and smiled.
"Very well, I will get it, shouldn't be even 15 minutes." He replied as he left to get the desired objects.
Koharu ambled over to the books and looked at them, an idea slowly forming as she looked at them more.
'Yes that should give him a great advantage if I'm right, which I'm sure I am.' She thought as she got all the books required for academics and theory for all 5 years in the academy. She then took them to the counter just as Kota came back with the items she asked for.
At this time Naruto came up as well. In his arms he had Several high-collared black shirts(Similar to an Uchiha's). besides that he had dark grey shorts and black ninja sandals as well as several equipment pouches. Koharu nodded in approval, it was perfect for an ninja in training his age.
"Very good Naruto-chan I will get that special gift for you." She complimented and smiled as he beamed at the praise.
"Alright, how much is all this Kota?" She asked.
"All told it comes to 3000 ryo." He answered.(I am having 1 ryo = 1 American dollar)
"Um Baa-chan isn't that a little too much to just waste on me?" Naruto asked nervously.
"Nonsense Naruto-chan, this is an investment for me to ensure you can protect yourself all the better when you become a ninja, besides I have plenty of money to spare." She replied as she waved off the blondes concerns.
After handing Kota the money for the merchandise she sealed it all into a scroll and took Naruto's hand as they left the store.
They walked along the streets of Konoha and Naruto noticed the direction they were headed.
"Baa-chan, are we going to go see Hokage-jiji?" He asked.
"Yes Naruto-chan, I want to ensure all the Senju clan treasures are transferred into a into a vault in my estate that can only be opened by you or I, they are very powerful and many people have sought to steal them over the years, but now that they belong to you I want to ensure that only you could possibly access them." She told him. Naruto's eyes widened at that. He hadn't really considered it but with him being heir to the clan the forbidden scroll of seals, the Raijin no Ken, all the Senju library and artifacts were his!
Arriving at the tower they began to ascend the stairs to his office.
-Hokage Office-
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed to himself. There had been no sightings of Danzo but his Anbu had 'stumbled' upon an entrance leading to the ROOT secret compound and found it empty except for about forty children in varying degrees of neglect who had clearly begun being 'conditioned'. That was not the only thing they found, they found roughly 180 ROOT ninja dead, no other traces were left. y his estimation he figured Danzo got wind of the hit out on him and decided to take only his most loyal and veteran ROOT and kill the rest, the children weren't worth killing.
If this was not enough six Uchiha had been found dead, one of them being Uchiha Shisui. The most disturbing thing was he was informed that every single Uchiha killed had a fully matured sharingan and both eyes missing. Except for Shisui who was found by the Naka river with his right eye missing.
He was broken from his musings by a knock on his door. With a holler of 'come in'. the door opened to reveal his teammate and her grandson. Seeing them brought a smile to his face until he remembered that both she and his surrogate grandson seemed to delight in causing trouble for him.
"Ah Koharu, and Naruto-kun. How can I help you." He asked kindly as the two sat down. Koharu cleared her throat before speaking.
"Well Hiruzen I was reviewing some things last night and then I came across the security plans for the Senju clan artifacts...or lack thereof." She deadpanned at the end. Hiruzen started to sweat as he suspected what was going to come next wouldn't be pleasant, it would cause allot of paperwork.
"I was appalled at how lax the security is on such important items-"
"Yeah Jiji your security sucks! I bet I could walk right in and take whatever I want and leave without anyone noticing!" Naruto interrupted with a bold declaration. Koharu smiled at her grandsons antics. Hiruzen sweat dropped with a sheepish chuckle because he couldn't exactly disagree.
"- so I would like to give you two options Hiruzen. The first is that you ignore my warning and one or both are stolen, Or two, me and Naruto-chan will take them to the place they are most secure at. We will move into what was meant to be our home when I was pregnant with his father...the Senju clan compound!" She declared. Hiruzen sighed in relief as he had meant to ask her about moving into the compound, there were many scrolls there that could help train Naruto, as well as it being the most secure compound in the village. It could repel a boss summon successfully so anyone they don't want getting in wouldn't.
"I believe I like the sound of the second option." Hiruzen replied with wry grin. Koharu grinned back, and then looked at Naruto who was cheering. Then Hiruzen pulled open his drawer and pulled out a scroll with the Senju clan crest on it.
"This should hold all the items you want moved." Hiruzen told her as she took the scroll.
"Now, is there anything else I can help you with?" Hiruzen asked. Koharu wasn't surprised Hiruzen could tell there was something else she wanted. Koharu gave a nod at her teammates observational skills.
"Yes there is, I am...concerned." She began, getting a raised eyebrow from Sarutobi and a confused look from Naruto.
"Well the Senju clan is a very prestigious and well known clan, that alone would warrant an attempt to kidnap him if they knew there was an heir, simply to restart the clan in their village, if not just outright kill him." She stated getting an understanding nod from Sarutobi. Naruto looked upset at either prospect.
"And if knowledge of him wielding the mokuton...well you saw what Kumo would do for bloodlines just yesterday." She finished. Sarutobi now had a look of concentration as he tried to think of all the outcomes and solutions.
"I believe it would be smart to not let it become public knowledge until he is about to graduate the academy, the very last before making genin." She supplied. Naruto didn't look to happy about not being able to tell everyone how kickass his family was. Hiruzen thought it was a good idea as well.
"I find that a very reasonable request." The Sandaime replied.
"Now Naruto if you could step out there are some things I would like your grandmother." He said as he turned to Naruto. Naruto nodded reluctantly and pouted. He waved to them before walking out.
As soon as the door was closed Sarutobi activated a privacy barrier. He looked at Koharu with a grim look.
"There are several things you should know of. I will start with the simplest and least worrisome." He began, getting a nod from Koharu.
"The Kumo ninja who attempted to kidnap Hyuuga Hinata was not sent by the Raikage but rather the Kumo civilian council. It seems they wanted to have more bloodlines, especially the byakugan. However A, unlike his father, refused to resort to kidnapping like his father, he would not budge on this ever since he became Raikage, so they took advantage of the recent alliance treaty to pay off the ninja sent to deliver it. As such I have no intentions of ending the alliance with Kumo, but rather trust that A will take care of this matter on his own accord, he always was one who didn't tolerate treachery and this is a rather serious one." Sarutobi explained. Koharu nodded, it made sense, she had met the Raikage, and while he was a rather combative man he was loyal to his comrades.
"The next piece of information is worse. Danzo caught wind of the search it seems, he appears to have fled Konoha with some of his ROOT-" What he was about to say was halted by Koharu's angry voice.
"What! That bastard got away!" She yelled in outrage. Sarutobi waited for her to calm down before he continued.
"What is more six Uchiha were found dead, one of which being Uchiha Shisui. All of them had a fully mature sharingan; And all of them save for Shisui were missing both eyes, Shisui was only missing the right eye." Hiruzen told her. Koharu paled at this, it was well known Shisui's eyes were special even among sharingan users. Then she remembered what eye was missing.
"Wait right eye? You think this is connected to Danzo don't you?" She asked, although it was more of a statement.
"Hai, I do. The timing is just too perfect for it to be a coincidence." He replied. Koharu grit her teeth in frustration. Then she remembered Naruto's smiling face and how it felt when he called her Baa-chan.
She would let this go, right now he needed her, and they were a family now which is what mattered. Her thoughts now turned to the Senju clan artifacts and she began to grin deviously as she got an idea.
"Say Hiruzen..."
-Kumo, Raikage's-
Looked at the letter he had gotten from the Hokage earlier that day. That god-damned council had nearly ruined the alliance with Konoha, and could have started a war because of their greed and cause they figured since his father didn't face any repercussions they wouldn't either. The dumbasses didn't realizethe only reason he didn't face any was because they were already at war.
"Mabui! Get me the entire Civilian Council now!" He shouted to his sex-err, attractive assistant over the intercom.
"Hai Raikage-sama." She replied via intercom.
"As soon as I give the signal come out and kill them all." A stated to his invisible Anbu guards.
It was a half hour before the council members started to file into his office. After the last one filed in the door closed and unknown to them a privacy barrier was activated, as well as one to prevent them from leaving.
A looked the council over. They looked far too arrogant, as if they were humoring him with their presence instead of he demanding theirs. The council had been started to appease civilians who were irritated by all the militarization the village went through after the first shinobi war, a mistake in his opinion. It started out good, with honest people simply wanting to help the village thrive, now it had degenerated to fat greedy assholes.
"Why did you ask for us Raikage-sama?" The person in the front asked.
"I ordered your presence because I just got a most interesting letter from the Hokage. He says he has the Kumo shinobi sent to deliver the treaty for him to sign in custody for attempting to kidnap the Hyuuga clan heiress." He began, watching as they started to show unease at hearing that the shinobi was in custody.
"He says when they broke the prisoner he admitted to being paid by the you to kidnap the Hyuuga heiress. Thankfully he was understanding enough to not end the alliance, understanding it was not by my orders, so we are safe there-" here he stopped as they seemed to be relieved thinking it was over.
"-However I don't appreciate you giving any orders/missions to my shinobi, but when you do it for something like this? Something that could have very well caused war between the cloud and leaf-" He paused for dramatic effect as he enjoyed seeing them now visibly sweating.
"-Well I call that treason, and you know how I deal with traitors. Anbu execute them!" he finished, yelling at the end.
"We are the civilian council you can't do thi-ack" One of them tried to shout before being silenced, followed closely by the rest of the council.
A sighed in relief. They really dodged a bullet here. The Hokage stated in his letter that he trusted him to handle things on his end, which he did gladly.
-Konoha, The next day, Senju compound training grounds-
Koharu watched Naruto doing his warm-ups with a smile. She let him do one more lap before calling him over.
"Ok Naru-chan before we start I want to know if you know how to access your chakra yet." She told him. Upon receiving a nod she continued.
"Good, now I want you to try and use your chakra to stick this leaf here to your forehead, try to use as much as you can." She encouraged as she handed him the leaf.
Doing as his grandmother told he tried to stick the leaf to his forehead by using as much chakra as possible. The leaf blew away from his forehead and tore to pieces because of the force. Naruto looked dejected, Koharu however nodded in satisfaction.
'Just as I suspected, he has massive reserves, even this early I would guess he has more than most high level jonin.' She mused to herself.
"Very good Naru-chan." She complimented. Naruto looked slightly better but still disappointed.
"But I failed? How was that good?" He asked in confusion.
"No you didn't, I wanted to test how much chakra you had, if I wanted you to make it stick I would have told you to find the right balance of chakra, not as much as you could." She informed him. Naruto was still confused.
"So why did you want to know how much chakra I had?" He questioned.
"I wanted to make sure you had enough to handle the jutsu I am about to teach you." She answered. Naruto looked ecstatic at learning a jutsu.
"Now this jutsu is very useful. It's calledthe Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(1). The shadow clone is an advanced clone technique, requires allot of chakra to use it, however the benefits are great. You learn everything that the clones do, this is the gift I promised to give you, it will accelerate your training by leaps and bounds." She explained. Naruto's excitement increased at this.
"Before you get carried away, we will not use this for anything but academics until you finish all the books I got you, they are the entire course of books in the academy curriculum. Until you've finished them you will be restricted to physical and taijutsu training." She told him sternly. Naruto pouted at this.
"Also you can only read one book at a time." She added.
"Now here is the handseal." She told him as she made a clone to go get the scroll with his books in them.
After that they started his physical training where he was introduced to the wonderful world of resistance seals.
The next two years were going to be hard!
-Time-skip, 2 years later, Konoha Shinobi Academy-
Children were rushing around in the courtyard. All were excited to start training to be shinobi. This class had the most promise in years. Why did it have so much promise? Easy, it was chalked full of clan heirs.
There was Shikamaru, a lazy boy who liked to watch clouds. He wore his hair in a pineapple style. Shikamaru was heir to the Nara clan.
Then they had the Yamanaka heir Ino. She was a platinum blonde haired girl who liked to gossip.
Next was Choji, a fa-err chubby boy who loved food, he was heir to the Akimichi clan.
There was also Aburame Shino, heir to the Aburame clan, he was a stoic boy who wore a long coat and dark sunglasses.
From the Inuzuka clan was Kiba, he was a brash boy with feral features common in his clan.
Next was the Hyuuga clan, who's clan heir was the shy bluenette Hinata. Hinata wasn't very good in her clans style, mostly because she didn't like to hurt people.
The Uchiha had two heirs. The twins of the clan head, Sasuke and Satsuki. Sasuke was an arrogant child who believed he was the best because he was superior because he was an 'Uchiha Elite', if only he knew that he was actually a commoner according to his clan, his duck-ass hair style didn't help. His sister Sayuri was a different matter all together. She, unlike Sasuke, subscribed to her mother and older brothers views. She was nice and also humble even though if someone were to be honest she had allot more reason to be arrogant than Sasuke, she was smarter than him as well as more skilled in the clan style taijutsu, plus she could already use the great fireball jutsu that made you a full member of the clan.
All the heirs were standing with their families who were there to see them off as Naruto walked into the courtyard holding Koharu's hand. Naruto hadn't changed much over the past couple years except for being taller and growing his blonde hair out so it now could clearly be seen it grew like his grandfather Madara, it was chin length with a bang that partially obscured his right eye. He still wore the high-collared black shirt with dark grey shorts and black ninja sandals. He had a kunai pouch taped to both legs.
As they walked in Koharu was telling Naruto her last good-byes until the academy was out for the day.
""Now remember Naru-chan I want you to do your best, if you get top score on the entrance exams today, I will have a training surprise for you when you get home." She promised with a smile.
Naruto beamed at this, the last time he'd gotten a training surprise it was a set of books on fuinjutsu all the up to the expert level; there were five books per level, and five levels being beginner, moderate, intermediate, expert, and finally master, which actually consisted of five extra books. At the time he had been asking to be allowed to begin learning seals for a while. He was almost halfway through moderate level.
Besides that his training was mostly chakra control, taijutsu, weapons training, and after he had gotten good enough in chakra control he had begun learning the basics of genjutsu, which was 8 months ago.
He was looking forward to starting the academy so he could kick all kinds of ass, the best part was that he didn't have to pay attention in the boring lectures they would give since he had read every book they had in the course, and also lots of scrolls and stuff on theory that supported and expanded on what they taught.
"Alright Naru-chan, have fun and make some friends."Koharu told him as she knelt down and hugged him.
"See you later Baa-chan, just you wait! I'll get a perfect score!" He declared with his foxy grin. Koharu laughed at her grandson's antics. She kissed him on the forehead before standing up and leaving.
Naruto waved after his baa-chan, he felt a tinge of sadness. This would be the first time he didn't spend the day with her since he first met her in the hospital.
He shrugged it off as a man dressed in standard chunin attire with a really deep tan and a scar over his nose. He wore his brown hair in a pineapple style similar to that lazy looking kid that he knew must be a Nara.
Beside him was a man with grey hair who wore his hitai-ate in a bandanna style. He too was dressed in standard chunin attire.
"Alright, everyone that has been assigned to classroom 401 come with us." The brown haired one said.
Several other teachers came out and said something similar. Once everyone else had gone inside Naruto looked around casually. He then walked around the building while whistling casually when he got there he put his foot on the side of the building and walked right up the side, once he got to an open window on the fourth floor he jumped through it and sat down in a seat in the very back. He put his feet up on the desk and leaned back with his hands behind his head.
He couldn't wait to see the teachers expression when he saw he got here before everyone.
A few minutes later the door slid in and the brown haired one walked in while looking over his shoulder just as he was saying something.
"-Take any seat you want and wait for roll call." he said.
"Already did that sensei, what took you so long?" Naruto called cheekily.
The chunin whipped his head around along with the grey haired one and blinked when they saw the onyx-eyed blonde sitting there casually kicking back in the back of the classroom. They did a good impression of fish at that point.
"Yo!" Naruto said with a wave, making the rest of the class, who had filed in behind the chunin, sweat drop.
"H-h-how did you get up here so fast?" The brown haired one asked.
"Umm well you see it's...a secret." He answered getting a round of face faults.
Once he was back up the chunin told everyone to sit down in their seats. A black haired girl with black eyes walked up the steps and sat down next to him. He discretely looked her over she wore a blue high-collared tank-top. She also wore some black shinobi pants tucked into black sandals. Her raven colored hair fell to the bottom of her shoulder blades and held back in a ponytail that left two bangs framing her face. He could see a fan symbol on her back.
'Interesting...an Uchiha, and a fully fledged one at that, pretty impressive at our age...course I would be too if Baa-chan would let me learn elemental jutsu.' He thought to himself. He shook his head slightly and took his feet of the desk and sat forward.
"Hey I'm Uzumaki Naruto, future Hokage! Nice to meet you." He said as he looked at her with a smile and held out his hand.
The girl hesitated as she looked at him. The boy had blonde hair that spiked outwards and a bang partially covering his right eye, speaking of which they were onyx like her own. he had six whisker marks on his cheeks and his face had less baby fat than most boys.
'He's cute.' She thought with a slight blush.
"Uchiha Sayuri, nice to meet you Naruto." She said as she took his hand, he would have something back but an arrogant voice interrupted them.
"Hey! Don't speak to my sister! You're not worthy to associate with an Uchiha elite like us!" Said a duck-ass haired boy with a blue shirt and white shorts. He noticed that he lacked the fan symbol. Naruto tried to ignore the boy as he noticed Sayuri had an embarrassed blush at her brothers actions.
'That idiot with his and tou-san's 'elite' attitude.' She thought as she took note of the fact Naruto was ignoring her brother, but not in the trying to avoid trouble way, but the way that said it was pointless to acknowledge the annoyance because he wasn't any kind of threat.
Annoyed with the blonde, in his mind, 'dobe', ignoring HIM and 'elite'.
"Hey did you hear me! We Uchiha elite don't associate with the likes of you, so stay away from her dobe." He said belligerently. Naruto simple turned his head and blinked owlishly. Then he burst out laughing.
"What's so funny dobe?" Sasuke asked.
"Hahaha, oh just the fact that you are calling me dobe and yet we haven't even taken the entrance ranking exam yet, which means if anyone is a dobe it's you for not knowing that there isn't a dobe yet!" Naruto laughed. When she heard this Sayuri started giggling as well, it felt good to see someone put her brother in her place. Naruto then go a mischievous gleam in his eyes, as he figured he would drive one more point home.
"But that is not all. I also was amused at the fact I know more about your clans laws than you, the Uchiha clan heir do, if you knew them like you should, you'd know you are not even a fully fledged Uchiha, let alone an elite yet, like your sister here who is a fully fledged member." Naruto finished with a grin. Sayuri was surprised at his knowledge her clans laws. She decided to find out more later.
After that Sasuke stomped back to his seat and sat down with a dark scowl on his face. Sayuri sighed at his behavior, he used to be nice. That was before he decided he wanted to be like their father and started to act just like him.
A few minutes later Iruka began calling role. After that was done he started to explain the test.
"This is the written portion of the entrance ranking exam, the rest will consist of weapons accuracy, and a taijutsu spar." He told them.
"Alright, Mizuki-san here will pass out the tests, then after they are all passed out you have 45 minutes to complete it, after which I will grade them while you go to lunch, then we come back for the physical portion." he informed them as Mizuki took the papers and began passing them out.
Something one should know is Mizuki was one of the 3% of the village who disliked Naruto cause he knew he was the Kyuubi's container, or as he preferred 'demon brat'. He saw this as the perfect opportunity to mess up his education by putting a genjutsu on Naruto's test so it appeared to be an Anbu level test. He handed Naruto his test with an internal malicious grin. His plan worked perfectly! Until...
"Oi asshat what are you trying to pull, you think I can't recognize a genjutsu when I see one, my Baa-chan's the kami damn Sakkaku no Megami(1) bitch! I've been put in better illusions for not cleaning my room, true story!" Naruto shouted with indignant rage. Meanwhile the rest of the class froze, either from the shock of what Mizuki tried to do, Naruto's language, or both.
Quickly walking up the steps Iruka grabs the test the test he gains a grim expression as he looks at it.
"Mizuki, you better have an explanation." He stated dangerously with narrowed eyes, he knew exactly why Mizuki tried this, and he was pissed.
"Uh, hahaha, good job Naruto, you caught me, I was testing your observation skills." He chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head nervously.
"I call bullshit! No one else has an Anbu level test!" Naruto shot back. Iruka coughed.
"Language Naruto!" He cried.
"What of my language?" Naruto asked.
"Less colorful!" Iruka ordered.
"Ok." Was his reply.
"Now as for you Mizuki-" Iruka began.
"Aw let him go Iruka-sensei, I don't mind, it was worth the amusement of seeing his reaction to being caught." Naruto interrupted.
"Fine now everyone sit down and shut up!" Iruka cried in frustration. Everyone including Mizuki and Naruto sweat dropped, he and Naruto were the only ones talking.
After that it wasn't long until the test began. Naruto flipped it over and looked at the first of twenty-five questions.
'You've got to be joking me? This is all their asking?' He thought as he looked at the first few questions.
1. How many Hokage's have there been?
2. How many Shinobi Wars have there been?
3. How many different ninja arts are there?
4. What are jutsu?
'this is gonna be easy' Naruto thought. He quickly began jotting down the answers and was done in 10 minutes.
He walked down the stairs to Iruka's desk and handed him the test.
Iruka frowned thinking Naruto didn't know the answers. However when he turned it over all the answer spaces were full. Curious he began to grade the answers. His curiosity became shock as he graded all the questions and found that they were all correct down to the most little detail, granted they weren't exactly hard but they required you to at least have studied the first book before hand, Naruto's were text book.
Naruto simply went back to his seat and put his head down to sleep. Sayuri who was sitting next to him sweat dropped.
Soon after Naruto finished Shikamaru got up and dropped off his paper as well. He soon followed Naruto's lead and put his head down to sleep.
Forty-five minutes went by and eventually everyone had turned in their tests.
"Alright everyone, while you go to lunch I will grade whatever tests I didn't get to yet. Eat well because when you come back we begin the physical portion." He told them.
Everyone began to file out of the classroom slowly. Naruto an Satsuki were the last to leave the room and were walking next to each other. Satsuki was glancing at him out of the corner of her eye. She had to admit it was nice to meet someone who treated her like anyone else, instead of fawning over her like most people did. It didn't hurt that he knocked her obnoxious brother down a peg.
"Hey Naruto-san, you want to eat lunch with me?" She asked. She wanted to talk to him some more and this was the perfect opportunity.
"Sure follow me, I know an awesome place to sit and eat our lunches!" He declared as he took her hand and began running towards the stairs. Sayuri blushed at the contact but quickly got over it.
They went up another flight of stairs with the sound of their sandals making the *thunk* of sandal on wood constantly. Finally they came to a door and Naruto pushed it open and stepped through, dragging her with him.
Once they were through the door it became clear they were on the roof.. Naruto went to the bench at the end of the walkway and sat down. He took a scroll out from his pouch and applied some chakra to it. In a puff of smoke a bento appeared.
At this point Sayuri's stomach made itself known by growling loudly. She blushed in embarrassment as she realized she left her bento at home in her excitement..
Naruto looked at her as his onyx eyes twinkled with mirth.
"Forgot your lunch didn't you?" He asked/stated. Sayuri blushed in embarrassment but nodded her head none the less.
"Lucky for you I packed an extra bento today in case I made a friend and they forgot lunch." Naruto said as he set the bento on the other side of the bench and took out another bento from the scroll which he kept for himself, he motioned for Sayuri to take the other one.
She sat down and picked up the lunch and opened. Wordlessly she broke apart the chopsticks and began eating. Nothing was said for a few minutes until Naruto broke the silence.
"So you said you wanted to talk. What about?" He asked her curiously.
Sayuri poked at her food with her chopsticks for about fifteen seconds before she spoke.
"You said Sasuke didn't even understand our clans laws, what did you mean by that? Sure he forgot about the fireball test but that doesn't mean he doesn't know our laws. Also you sound as if you know allot about the Uchiha clan, is there anything you could tell me they don't teach us as children?" Sayuri asked shyly.
"Well I'll deal with the easiest first, the fact you have no idea what I meant makes it clear it's not so much don't know, but that the people teaching you your clans laws and history are actually actively misinforming you to make the clan seem more important." Naruto began, getting a confused look from Sayuri. Naruto saw it and decided to clarify.
"What I mean is there is actually no members of the true Uchiha clan left in your clan." Naruto stated.
"What do you mean, I'm right here aren't I?" Sayuri asked slightly angry.
"Well that didn't come out how I meant it to. I'll tell you the reason I say this goes back to the early part of the wars between the Uchiha and Senju. There were so few members at the time they were on the brink of extinction, less than fifteen members each. To solve this they each gathered up a couple hundred commoners and performed a blood ritual to turn the commoners in to Uchiha, well half Uchiha, their blood was allot less potent, and there were differences in between the two. The most noticeable is the potency and keenness of the sharingan.
Anyways, the point is that through the ages the Uchiha kept very close records of who was and who wasn't a descendant of the original Uchiha. It's generally accepted that this is simply because of the laws of your clan that make it very clear, if there is a pureblood Uchiha, they are the heir, the current clan head can continue until the heir is 18, at which time they must step down. However I always thought it was for a different reason, I'm not sure what but I just have a feeling." Naruto took a pause to think over what to say next.
"So there is the story of the origins, and the reason that I say they are misinforming you, because the last documented pureblood Uchiha was not too long ago, Sandaime-jiji even met him." Naruto stated.
"Who was it?" Sayuri asked in complete rapture from the information.
"A name I'm sure you know well, Uchiha Madara." Naruto told her with a hidden smirk at what he expected her reaction. He wasn't disappointed.
Sayuri's jaw dropped, her eyes widened and she involuntarily started to shudder. The Uchiha's most notorious missing nin, the man who challenged Senju Hashirama to a fight for the title Hokage. He was the last true Uchiha?
"What, that traitor was the last pure-blood Uchiha?" She practically screamed at him.
Naruto frowned at hearing her call his grandfather a traitor. He was not, Madara had been tricked, he was told that he had the support of the Uchiha to challenge him. Someone even framed him for summoning the Kyuubi, and he figured it was no coincidence that the father of the current clan head was the one to take the title almost immediately after Madara 'betrayed' Hashirama.
'I swear Jiji someday they will know the truth, and the pretenders will be seen for what they are!' Naruto vowed in his thoughts.
"Anyways, my point was after that the Uchiha, like Sasuke, started claiming themselves elites. The reason it only happened after Madara was gone, is because that was originally a term used to describe a pure-blood descendant. So all those claiming they are elites now are nothing but pretenders. Sasuke will never truly be an Uchiha elite, that is what I found so funny earlier, the title he is so proud of is forever out of his reach and he is completely ignorant to it." Naruto finished with a hardy chuckle.
'Well there is one way but I would never tell him that, he would probably do it just so he could be a 'real' Uchiha.' Naruto thought.
Meanwhile Sayuri was giggling hysterically at this. She knew her Kaa-san and Nii-san were right.
"Well we better get back to class." Naruto said as he stood up and began walking to the stairs. Sayuri quickly followed.
-Classroom 401-
Everyone was finally back in the class and sat down with Iruka standing in the front of class.
"Ok follow me out to the training field." He said before walking out of the classroom. Sayuri was about to follow the others but Naruto held her back.
"Come on my way will be funnier." He said as the last person left. He grabbed her and carried her bridal style over to the window getting an 'eep' from her. He jumped through the open window and clung to the wall using chakra. He calmly walked down the side of the building with the terrified girl clinging to him.
When they got to the ground they were already in the training ground so he set her down. Sayuri was blushing from how he carried her and they walked to the center of the training ground in silence.
It was five minutes later Iruka showed up with the rest of the class.
"Hey what took you so long sensei?" Naruto asked with a cheeky grin. Iruka gained a tick mark on his forehead.
"Na-ru-to!" He ground out.
"Yo!"
"How do you do that?" Iruka yelled. Naruto motioned for him to lean closer, which Iruka did
"It's a secret." Naruto said in a loud whisper so all could hear.
The class minus Sasuke laughed at this interaction. Iruka struggled to regain his composure.
"Ok class, the first part is the weapons accuracy, remember you're not supposed to have to get it perfect, this is just to gauge were everyone is as far as skill." Iruka explained.
"When I call your name come forward and throw the shuriken and kunai provided, there are a total of five each." Iruka instructed as he began to read names.
The civilian kids did poor while the clan heirs did better.
Shino, Shikamaru, Kiba, and Choji all scored 7-10
Ino, and a\Hinata scored a 5-10.
Sasuke was the best so far as he scored 8-10. He had thrown all of them at once which impressed most of the class, and it was at this point the males found out that somehow he had developed a fan club over lunch. All of them were screeching at how awesome 'their' Sasuke-kun was. The most loud was a bright pink haired one near the front with a large forehead. Sasuke seemed smug at his accomplishment as he figured no one would score better than him. Oh how wrong he was.
"Uchiha Sayuri." Iruka called.
Sayuri walked forward from where she had been standing with Naruto and picked up projectiles.
She like Sasuke threw all at once, except different from him she hit 9-10 and while he hadn't even hit the edge of the targets with his misses, she hit on the edge of the fake human cutout.
Sasuke started brooding as he saw he would now have the second best score. He was once again wrong.
Meanwhile Naruto was loudly congratulating Sayuri for getting such a high score.
"Very good Sayuri, now last is Uzumaki Naruto." Iruka called.
Naruto grinned as he passed Sayuri on his way to the line in front of the target. Once he got there he picked up the projectiles and immediately noticed there was something off.
'Hmmm, these are twice as heavy as they should be, not to mention dull. Gee I wonder who prepared these ones?' He thought as he glanced over to a grinning Mizuki who had a malicious gleam in his eyes. Naruto had an inward smirk as he got an idea.
"Hey Iruka sensei, these feel off, can I use my own shuriken and kunai?" Naruto asked as he turned back to Iruka.
"Uh sure I guess." He replied confused.
Meanwhile Mizuki was seething at his plan being ruined once again.
Naruto quickly took out the projectiles and threw them all at once. All of them moved at great speeds towards the targets and landed ten satisfying 'clunks' as all ten projectiles hit dead center in the targets on the cutouts forehead.
Iruka and the males jaws dropped at him getting a perfect score. Meanwhile, Naruto heard a sound that had him shivering in fear, and filled him with dread.
"Eeeeek! Go Naruto-kun you're the best!"
"I love you Naruto-kun!"
"Back off, he's mine!"
Naruto was pale as a ghost as he realized he had fangirls. Iruka sympathized with Naruto's plight as he saw the look of horror on his face.
Quick Naruto dashed back to his spot next to Sayuri, this had the bad effect of making all his fangirls glare at her for 'stealing' 'Their' Naruto-kun.
"Ok with that we will head over to the taijutsu ring where we will have you face off, girls against girls and boys against boys." Boys he told them as he continued walking with the gravel crunching underneath his sandals.
The students followed except for Naruto who held Satsuki back as well.
"How in the hell are we getting there early this time?" She asked resignedly. Naruto flashed her a grin.
"Like this." He replied as he grabbed her shoulder and performed a Shunshin no Jutsu(3) to the taijutsu area which was a good four minutes away at the pace Iruka had been going.
The shunshin was a jutsu his grandmother drilled into his head because she wanted him to have a way to get to her quickly if there was an emergency.
They arrived in a swirl of leaves and Sayuri felt a slight rush in her head from the speed.
A few minutes later and Iruka arrived with the rest but he didn't know Naruto and Sayuri were there yet.
"Yo Iruka-sensei, how's it going.?" Naruto asked cheerfully.
Iruka once again had a tick mark. He tried hard to keep from shouting. So tempting! Awe fuck it. he took a deep breath then...
"Seriously, how the hell do you keep doing that!" He yelled in frustration. Once again Naruto motioned to lean closer, and he did it...again.
"It's a secret." Naruto said in a loud whisper once more. Iruka face faulted and the entire class minus Sasuke was laughing at the teacher falling for that twice.
Iruka got up and calmed himself before he began to explain.
"Alright the first match is..."
None of the matches were that good until the clan heirs started going. Kiba and Shino went at it and both showed aptitude however Kiba won because his family focused more on taijutsu.
The next was Hinata versus 'the pink haired banshee' as Naruto dubbed her. It wasn't much of a fight. Seeing how her opponent appeared to be shy and timid the banshee declared how she would win to impress 'Sasuke-kun'. She charged blindly with a fist cocked back and Hinata quickly used some juuken to completely disable her leaving the banshee, who Naruto heard was called Sakura when Iruka-sensei went to help her, humiliated and nearly crying.
Sayuri faced Ino and utterly decimated her using the interceptor fist.
Finally there was only two left and Naruto was itching to go so he could show his stuff.
"Ok the last match will be Uchiha Sasuke against Uzumaki Naruto." He declared.
Naruto walked over to his side where he stood and waited with his hands in his pocket and a lazy expression, he knew exactly how to get under Sasuke's skin so he would make mistakes right from the beginning.
Sasuke stepped to the opposite side and had an arrogant sneer on his face.
"Ready to lose dobe?" He asked in a tone laced with arrogance.
"Again, these tests are designed to rank us, so there is no dobe yet, and also I scored higher than you in the accuracy, and since we don't know the written grades yet that puts me at an advantage." Naruto explained in a voice that one would use with an slow witted person.
As soon as Iruka called to start Sasuke charged at Naruto with an enraged roar. Naruto watched Sasuke coming and to him he was going very slow. He waited till the very last second when Sasuke's fist was about an inch from his face.
He dodged his head to the side and planted a knee in Sasuke's gut. At this point Sasuke was unable to believe he had gotten caught like that. Before he could ponder any further Naruto used a chop to the back of his neck to knock him out.
Naruto sighed as he had hoped for more of a challenge, if only he could've fought Satsuki maybe then he would have gotten a good match. He turned around and walked back to where Sayuri was standing and couldn't help but smirk as he saw she looked amused at seeing her brother get taken down so easily after all his boasting.
"W-winner Uzumaki Naruto." Iruka said, slightly stunned at how fast that was.
With that the class began to walk back inside, this time Naruto decided to just do it with the rest of the class.
Mizuki ended up carrying Sasuke back to class as he was still out cold..
-The Classroom-
Once they were back in the classroom and everyone sat down Iruka cleared his throat.
"Okay, now that we've done all three tests I am going to announce the rankings." Iruka told them.
Naruto paid no attention to the names till they got to number three.
"and in third place is...Uchiha Sasuke." Iruka announced, getting shrieks of protest from his fangirls that he was number one. Sasuke meanwhile had a dark scowl on his face, not believing not one but two people scored better than him.
"Number two...is Uchiha Sayuri!" Iruka declared. Sayuri smiled at that as she didn't mind being second, she had a good hunch who was first. Naruto patted her on the back in congratulations, telling her how awesome she was.
"And finally number one with a perfect score...is Uzumaki Naruto! Congratulations, now that's all for today, I will see you tomorrow." Iruka said with a smile.
Naruto got up all the while smiling hugely. He looked at Sayuri who had just gotten up as well.
They walked outside together where Naruto saw his grandmother waiting, and Sayuri's family was there as well.
Naruto turned to Sayuri and grinned.
"See ya tomorrow." He said.
"Yeah I guess so, say Naruto why do you seem so excited to be going?" She asked in curiosity.
"Because my Baa-chan promised me a surprise with my training if I got a perfect score in the test, I can't wait to see what it is!" He replied in excitement.
"I suppose so, I wish I had something like that to look forward to." She said.
"Well isn't your mom like some famous S-rank kunoichi, why not ask if she could teach you something?" Naruto asked curiously.
Sayuri perked up at this, her mother would teach her something!
With a smile she said thank you and ran over to her family, more specifically her mother and began talking to her excitedly.
Meanwhile Naruto ran to his grandmother.
-With the Uchiha's-
Mikoto was having a normal day. She had been retired from being a kunoichi when the twins were born, so she had a pretty normal life now. She was excited to see how her children did on their first day. Sasuke had already come out and opted to speak to his father instead of her, they were standing a few feet away speaking in whispers. Fugaku seemed upset so she figured he didn't do as good as Fugaku expected.
She looked back towards the door and saw her daughter walk out next to a blonde boy with hair that spiked outwards and a bang partially covering his right eye. For some reason he looked familiar to her. Her daughter and the blonde were talking, and she noticed he seemed very excited as he spoke to her daughter about something.
Sayuri looked slightly depressed and said something to the blonde. The blonde said something back and then her daughter looked excited as she noticed they had been looking over at her.
'Wonder what that's about?' She thought.
Her daughter seemed to say good bye and then came running towards her, the blonde boy running off as well.
Her daughter arrived with an excited smile.
"Hello Satsuki-chan, how was your day, you seem a bit excited." She said.
"It was cool, I met this boy Naruto, he's cool, he knows allot about the clans, and he's really strong too, he got first place, I got second, but the really funny thing was when he sparred against Sasuke. He beat him like it was nothing, and even after Sasuke went through that whole, 'ready to lose' thing and all." Sayuri told her in an excited voice.
Meanwhile as soon as she heard the name Naruto Mikoto was only half listening, as she looked over to the blonde haired boy.
'I wonder...' She thought. Then the boy turned their way and she looked into his eyes and noted for the first time that they were onyx colored, an odd color for blondes.
"And Naruto kept doing this funny thing to mess with Iruka-sensei by getting there before everyone else, and then telling sensei how slow he was." Sayuri told her with laughter in her voice.
That synched it for Mikoto. He was definitely who she thought he was. His mother liked to rile up the teachers as well.
Pulling her attention back to her daughter she laughed at what she told her.
"He sounds like a nice boy, is he the blonde you came out with, the one with the whisker marks?" She asked. Getting a nod she gave a sly smirk.
"So has my little girl got a crush on the first day?" She asked in a teasing voice.
Sayuri blushed madly at her mother's question and tried to glare.
"K-Kaa-san it's not like that, he's just my friend." She denied.
"Ok, well what were you talking about?" Mikoto asked curiously.
At this Sayuri forgot all her embarrassment and got her excited look back.
"Oh yeah, he was telling me how his Baa-chan promised him a training surprise if he did good today, -and I told him how I wished I had something like that, then he reminded me you were and S-ranked kunoichi and suggested I asked you to teach me, so will you train me from now on Kaa-san?" Sayuri finished with a question.
Mikoto was surprised and touched that one of her children wanted her to teach them. She smiled at her daughter.
"Of course Sayuri-chan!" She answered.
-With Naruto and Koharu-
"Hello Naru-chan, how was your day?" Koharu asked warmly as Naruto ran up and hugged her.
"It was awesome Baa-chan, I met this cool girl named Sayuri and I got a perfect score, so can we go train now?" He said, slightly begging at the end.
Koharu chuckled as she heard her grandson speak excitedly, although she took special note of the part about a girl.
"A girl you say, was she the one you came out with?" Koharu asked as they both looked over to the Uchiha's.
"Yep, now can we go to the training ground?" Naruto asked slightly impatiently.
"Alright come on Naru-chan." Koharu conceded as she took his hand and they began to head back to the Senju compound.
-Senju Compound, Training Ground-
Koharu a few feet in front of her grandson who was trying and failing to control his enthusiasm. She smiled fondly at him. In the past two years since they began training he had not once complained about the training, training that would give a chunin pause. Even after doing grueling workouts for six hours, mention something new and he was right back to being full of energy.
"Ok Naru-chan, today I am going to explain elemental affinities." She began.
"What I mean by this is that we ninja can use chakra to control the elements, however we are each born with an affinity towards at least one affinity, some have more than one." She explained.
"Now the reason I said affinities for you is because we know you have at least two, however this could simply have been because of the mokuton gene in your blood activating, meaning the affinities that make it up were simply added to the one or ones, as it may be, that you were born with." She told him.
Now Naruto was really excited. He could have more than just two affinities? He could have three or even four!
"So how do we test my affinities Baa-chan?" He asked.
"With this." She answered as she took out a couple pieces of paper.
"This is chakra paper, you channel chakra into it and it shows your affinity." She explained as she took one of them and handed it to him.
"It shows you by its reaction, if it burns it's fire, if it crinkles its lightning, if it becomes damp its water, crumbles its earth, finally if it slices its wind." She told him as she channeled chakra into the paper.
The paper split three way, the first part burned, the second got damp, and the third crumbled a little bit.
"As you can see my primary affinity is to fire, while I also developed secondary affinities to water and earth." She said. Naruto was happy at this since she could help him with his own water and earth affinities.
"Now you try." She urged. He immediately channeled his chakra to the paper and the result was unexpected.
First it crumpled into a ball the size of a golf ball, then the ball had three different reactions, one third burned practically to ashes, another became extremely soggy, and the last crumbled away into tiny flakes.
"Well that is interesting, it would appear originally you had an lightning affinity comparable to Tobi-kun's water affinity, and a unusually strong fir affinity, not quite as strong as the lightning, but still very high nonetheless. finally the expected water and earth affinities which are slightly stronger than normal, but nowhere near your originals, which proves my theory they are purely from your mokuton gene." Koharu mused.
"Well make me 80 shadow clones, twenty to practice each affinity." She commanded.
-Time-skip, 2 Years, Konoha Streets, Near Clan Districts-
Naruto was walking back to his clans compound, which was ironically right on the other side of the lake near the Uchiha compound, ironic because the clans were once bitter enemies and now were neighbors.
So it was understandable that as he was walking back from the shinobi store to get some new cloths and also some supplies for sealing, of which he had now advanced to the intermediate level, almost at the end of said level.
He was enjoying the night and reflecting on the past two years since the academy started.
In the two years Sayuri had become his best friend and they were still ranked as they were at the beginning, which meant if it continued he would be rookie of the year and she would be kunoichi of the year, putting them in the same squad, which would be awesome in his opinion.
He then thought about her brother, the twin that is. Sasuke was in one word, an asshole. His attitude never changed, he constantly put others down and then sulked when someone was better than him at something, which with him and Sayuri in class was just about everything.
Sayuri had continued training with her mother and in the two years had awakened her sharingan, which infuriated Sasuke since now he was the only one of his siblings to not have awakened it.
Anyways, she had become very skilled in katon jutsu, as well as becoming pretty proficient in genjutsu. That along with learning the Kawarimi no Jutsu(4), she was turning into a mini-Mikoto.
Naruto then remembered meeting Mikoto for the first time, it was interesting since his mother was her best friend, and vice-versa.
-Flashback, One Year and Ten Months Ago-
Naruto and Sayuri were training in one of the training grounds for academy students, they were having a taijutsu spar. They thought they were alone but little did they know there was someone watching them, interested in seeing them in action.
Sayuri came at Naruto with the sharingan blazing in her eyes. She moved to strike with an high kick but he ducked down. She responded by attempting to kick him in the face with the other foot. Naruto however caught it. He then went to punch her in the gut but suddenly she disappeared and a log was in her place.
On instinct he turned to find her about to stab him with a kunai. Reacting on pure adrenaline and muscle memory he slipped into his best style of taijutsu to counter it, the interceptor fist.
Sayuri was so surprised to see him use it that she ended up having her momentum used against her and landed on her back from an arm toss.
She immediately jumped to her feet and stormed up to him furious, she wanted to know how he knew her clans taijutsu form! That wasn't the reaction of one who had seen it in action and decided to replicate it and was trying it out, no that was the reaction of someone who had worked at it for years and was very good in it.
"How?" She began in a pissed of tone, ominously quiet.
Naruto got nervous at this as he knew he needed a good explanation, otherwise he was in it deep.
"How do you know my clans taijutsu style?" She screamed.
Naruto was fumbling for an excuse when they suddenly heard laughter from the edge of the clearing.
"That's easy Sayuri-chan, he knows it because his mother was an Uchiha, isn't that right Naruto-kun?" Said a laughing Mikoto as she came out of the tree line. She was dressed in training clothes consisting of a high collar black shirt with the Uchiha crest on it, and black Anbu pants.
"H-hai that's right, but how did you know who my mother was?" Naruto asked cautiously.
"Yeah I want to know as well Kaa-san!" Sayuri put in, she had calmed when she learned his mother was an Uchiha, she would have left him scrolls with the forms, as to why he wasn't a member of the clan she had no idea.
Mikoto laughed slightly.
"Well I should hope I could figure out if someone was my best friend's son. Although I must admit, it took a few things to make me absolutely sure, the first clue was your name as she was always fond of Jiraiya-sama's first book, and said if she had a son she would name him after the main character. The second clue was your talent for pranking and annoying the teachers. But what really sealed it was your eyes and the way your hair grows out, just like your grandfather." She told him.
This got two reactions one was of shock at the fact she was a friend of his mothers and also because she knew who his Uchiha grandfather was. The second reaction was of confusion from her daughter.
"Y-you were a friend of my mother's? And you know who my grandfather was?" He asked in shock.
"Well let's sit down so we can talk." She replied as she sat on the ground with the other two doing the same in front of her.
"The answer is yes she was my friend, my best friend as I said." Mikoto giggled.
"Ok but how do you know who my grandfather was?" He asked slightly suspicious.
Before she would answer Sayuri cut in.
"I don't get it, why does it matter how she knows who your grandfather is? Is it some big secret?" Sayuri asked.
"First off it matters because of how few actually know as well as because of who he was, second yes it is a very big secret. Third how I know is because I met him a couple times before he died, in fact I was one of the ones to help bury him, along with her teammates." Mikoto replied. This caused Naruto to get even more shocked at this as he remembered his mother mentioning her best friend helping with the burial.
"I don't get it, who was his mother, and for that matter who was his grandfather?" Sayuri questioned.
"Well Naruto-kun's mother was Konoha's Karasu no ōjo, Uchiha Hitomi. As for his grandfather-" She was interrupted by Naruto holding his hand up as he wanted to be the one to tell her.
"I've actually told you about him before, well in an indirect way. He was part of the first story I told you." Naruto told her. Sayuri wracked her brain to think of that story and who it might be.
Then she remembered a particular part of the story
He was the last documented pure-blood Uchiha.
Last documented pure-blood Uchiha.
"Uchiha Madara." She said breathlessly. Then she did something unexpected. She laughed.
"What's so funny?" Naruto asked, slightly annoyed.
"Hahaha, I just finally realized why it ticked you off so much that Sasuke was claiming to be an 'elite'!" She laughed.
He couldn't help but chuckle sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head.
Mikoto started to giggle as well. After that they spent some time talking before they finally went their separate ways.
-Flashback End-
Naruto was broken out of his trip down memory lane when he noticed something odd. He was passing the Uchiha compound but there weren't any lights.
Before he could ponder further he heard a scream from within the compound.
Quickly using a trick his Baa-chan taught him he searched for any particularly large chakra signatures, he immediately sensed one, as well as a much smaller one that was very familiar none the less.
He used a shunshin to appear where they were and was just in time to prevent something that pissed him off.
-Inside The Compound, 10 Minutes ago-
While Naruto was meandering around an Anbu wearing a crow mask had just finished cutting down the final Uchiha besides his family, he knew that two out of four were home and his Imouto was most likely running terrified through the streets right now based on when she usually got home, his brother wouldn't be far behind.
He took off his mask revealing himself to be Uchiha Itachi. He put the mask on his belt and then shunshined into his house, outside of the dojo.
He slid the door open and his silhouette was framed in the door way dramatically as his shadow was cast across the room. There were two occupants in it and they appeared to have been in a argument a few moments ago.
His father was the first to speak.
"Itachi, what is the meaning of this!" He shouted.
Itachi simply blurred forward and stabbed his tanto into his father's chest.
Quickly he pulled it out and moved forward, stabbing his mother through the heart , or so he thought until she burst into a flock of crows.
Then he felt a kunai at his neck.
"Did you forget who taught you Sochi?" Mikoto asked.
"Indeed I did not, although I had hoped time had dulled your skills." Itachi replied.
"No, no it hasn't!" She exclaimed as she spun and blocked the tanto with the kunai. The 'Itachi' behind her burst into a flock of crows.
"Impressive, even without the sharingan you saw through it." Itachi replied. After that he disappeared in a puff of smoke. Then Mikoto's chest. Once again she burst into a flock of crows.
This disturbed Itachi greatly as she shouldn't have been able to detect it was a clone. Then it hit him like a slap in the face.
"Of course..." He muttered before pulsing his chakra just in time to see a kunai going towards his chest.
He deftly knocked it away and moved inside her guard stabbing her through the stomach. This time nothing else happened. He knew she was as good as dead so he simply yanked out the blade and caught her before gently lowering her to the ground.
"I'm sorry it had to be this way." He whispered.
He then stood up. But then he felt a hand grip his ankle. He looked down to see his mother gripping his ankle tightly.
"Please, don't hurt Sayuri." She pleaded as she sensed her daughter entering the house.
"I'm sorry but there can be only one survivor, there can be only one." He replied He then turned to face the door where a stunned Sayuri had just burst through.
For a moment she was shocked, until she saw the dead body of her father, that didn't bother her much, however the heaving body of her mother did, she saw the blood slowly spreading.
She screamed at the top of her lungs. Itachi cursed himself for not acting immediately. He lunged forward to try to finish her before Sasuke arrived.
His blade thrust forward...to be blocked by a kunai. He looked down to receive a huge shock. It was a boy that was about 4'6, an inch taller than his sister who was tall for her age.
The boy had blonde hair that was chin length and spiked outwards with a bang partially obscuring his right eye. He had six whisker marks on his cheeks with a face with less baby fat than normal.
But the fact that the boy had blocked the kunai that shocked him. No it was that the boy had clearly arrived in a shunshin, and reacted fast enough to block the attack which was going at high genin speeds.
The boys onyx eyes were hardened and held a rage in them fit to burn the world.
"You mind explaining what's going on here Itachi-san?" He asked in a voice of barely restrained anger.
"Yes I do." Itachi replied. Naruto saw the signs of him going to activate his sharingan so he created a seal less kage bunshin with orders given beforehand.
Itachi didn't notice that as his sharingan blazed to life and then spun rapidly until it blurred together to take the shape of a tri-pointed shuriken.
"Tsukuyomi" Itachi whispered.
-World of Tsukuyomi-
Suddenly Naruto was drawn into a world where the sky was red and everything else was black He was currently tied to a cross and Itachi was standing in front of him.
"This is the world o-" Itachi began only to be interrupted by the now apparently amused Naruto.
"Of Tsukuyomi, I know. The mangekyo sharingan Itachi, you have been a bad boy haven't you Itachi?" Naruto asked with a chuckle despite the situation.
"How?" Itachi asked in a rare show of emotion as his voice and face showed shock.
Then Naruto received the memories of the clone hidden behind the door who had knocked out Sasuke as soon as he entered the room.
"So tell me why you tried to kill Sayuri-chan, we both know you have plenty of time in this world." Naruto said casually. His calmness even knowing what he was in ...unnerved, yes unnerved Itachi.
"You certainly are interesting. I suppose you would be her friend Naruto, she speaks frequently of you, I am of the opinion she has a crush on you." Itachi stated, secretly amused at the blush that appeared briefly.
"But as to the why, it is very simple I wanted to test my capacity, and to prove myself to a masked man who has a sharingan eye, he claimed himself to be Uchiha Madara, with the strength he showed, I don't see any other person he could be besides Madara. I mean to keep Sasuke alive to come seek revenge for our clans m-" He was interrupted when he heard Naruto chuckling, which soon turned to laughter as he threw his head back and laughed to the skies.
"What is it that amuses you so?" Itachi asked, seemingly curious of this.
"Oho ohoho, heh It's just the fact you actually bought that masked guys bullshit about being Madara, just because he was more powerful than you, I thought you were a genius. Tell me, did he reveal the 'secret' to obtaining the EMS? About taking another's eyes" Naruto chuckled. Itachi was confused when he saw that Naruto was truly amused at him believing the man, and it was the kind of amused that you get when you know someone is being made a fool of. As for the last questions he nodded to confirm what Naruto said.
"What do you know?" he asked.
"I know for certain that the masked man is not Uchiha Madara." Naruto answered in an amused tone, but holding an serious undertone.
"But how do you know?" Itachi asked in frustration. Naruto secretly grinned, it was all going to plan.
"I know because my mother buried him, come to think of it your mother did as well, along with my mother's teammate's. Matter of fact she even met him a few times before he died." Naruto said in a musing voice. Itachi's eyes widened in shock.
His mother had met Uchiha Madara? She'd buried him? But that left the question of why she had even known or buried him.
"Right now you're no doubt wondering why she and the others helped bury him. The answer is very simple, My mother was too heartbroken at the time to be able to bury her father on her own, And being his daughter she had introduced her most trusted friends to him of course." Naruto answered. You could practically feel Itachi's brain overloading.
Indeed it was Itachi's was confused, he was disoriented, and thus his control slipped over Tsukuyomi.
Quick as a flash Naruto snapped his head up with his three tomoe sharingan blazing and stared right into Itachi's wide eyes.
"Wait her fa-" was all he got out before Naruto's sharingan shifted into another form. Itachi thought it was Naruto's Mangekyo form, it was a black background with four red flower petals overlaid with a red four sided shuriken with red circles in place of point all connected to a thin red ring on the outside edge, however Naruto proved him wrong when he next spoke.
"This is my mother, Uchiha Hitomi's eternal mangekyo sharingan. It's in my eye because it is a reaction she inlayed into my eyes, to protect myself during extreme circumstances, it allows me to use her kotoamatsukami a total of 7 times until the failsafe is all used up." Naruto explained.
Itachi's mind was still too chaotic to react in time to try and stop it.
"Now, your mind is mine! Kotoamatsukami!" Naruto declared. Itachi's mind went blank as Naruto gained control and started implanting false memories with his words.
"You completed your mission, all Uchiha's except Uchiha Sasuke are dead. However the masked man is not Uchiha Madara, your mother buried him so it is impossible. Now you will continue as you planned, however you will discretely as possible seek the true identity of the masked man. When we leave this world you will immediately leave." Naruto commanded.
With that he willed them to return to the regular world.
-Real World-
As soon as they returned to the real world Itachi shunshined away and Naruto gave a sigh of relief. That was too close, he had no idea if that would work, it was pure luck. With Itachi having the mangekyo sharingan there was a good possibility he could've resisted, which is why he had to get Itachi's mind as chaotic as possible before he attempted to control him.
It was then that he remembered that Sayuri-chan had been crying, and Mikoto-chan was hurt!
Naruto then turned to Sayuri and looked at her as she cried over her mother who was struggling to breath. His heart ached as he didn't want Mikoto to die either.
'Well there is that jutsu but it has possibilities of side effects. Guess I will ask them' He thought to himself.
He walked over and knelt next to Mikoto right beside Sayuri.
"I have a jutsu that could save you Mikoto-chan, but it has risks." Naruto told her seriously.
"Wha-what does i-it d-do?" Mikoto asked.
"It's the second step of the blood ritual made to turn your ancestors into Uchiha, It needs a pure-blood to be the medium as well as two half-blood targets, a little of the pure-bloods DNA mixes with that of the two half-bloods, then divides the result and splits it into the two half-bloods, essentially making them pure-bloods. the changes occurring during the process would heal you
However there is a reason it was never used, there are varied reactions to the jutsu not unpleasant just strange, plus a pureblood can only use it e few times in their life, so you must be certain you want me to use it." Naruto told her, and Sayuri since she had to be the other half-blood.
"Ok then let's do it, if it will save Kaa-san." Sayuri declared.
Mikoto looked at her with wide eyes.
"Sayuri-chan are you sure." She asked uncertainly.
Sayuri simply nodded in confirmation. as soon as he saw that Naruto took the kunai and made a light gash on Sayuri's arm before beginning a long and complicated set of hand seals that had been drilled into his head by his mother.
It took him four minutes of precious time before he finished, as soon as he did he immediately made a cut on both palms and placed them over Mikoto and Sayuri's respective wounds.
There was a blue glow that came from the sights of contact. For ten minutes they simply sat waiting as the changes happened, over that time the females had been surrounded by a blue light. After fifteen minutes since it began the light faded and it left him able to see the two, girls? for that's what they were, Sayuri looked the same, however Mikoto was a different story.
Before she had been 38 but looked 30. Now she looked to be about 17 if he had to guess. Her bust and backside were the same, which made him blush thinking about it. However her waist which had gotten just a little bit thicker over the years and after two times of giving birth. Now it was very slender again like he imagined it was before that. It appeared one of the side effects was de-aging, he figured most likely it's because the DNA needed to integrate more with her since it had to try harder to repair the damage done by Itachi's tanto.
The girls looked around slowly as Mikoto sat up and looked at Sayuri. Sayuri looked blankly at her mother. She slowly pointed at her.
"You look young now." She said dumbly, ya not the best choice of words.
Mikoto gained an angry tick mark.
"Are you implying I looked old before?" She asked in a sickly sweet voice.
Sayuri quickly backpedalled as she realized her mistake.
"No no no no no, you don't understand, I meant you look like 17 or something" Sayuri said. Mikoto smiled at that.
"Oh, ok, wait what 17?" She asked. Naruto wordlessly passed her a kunai to look at her reflection in. Mikoto saw herself at 17 staring back at her.
"I suppose this is one of the side effects?" She asked.
"Yep." Naruto replied.
"Shockingly, I can live with it." She joked.
Naruto smiled at this.
"Well I guess we should go see Jiji and tell him what happened." Naruto suggested.
"*sigh* I'm afraid he probably already knows." Mikoto stated with a depressed sigh.
"Why would you say that Kaa-san?" Asked Sayuri.
"Because the Uchiha were planning a coup de tat, I tried getting Fugaku to see reason. That it wasn't going to work, but he refused to listen. It would have commenced soon. Itachi probably volunteered for the task when the idea was brought up, the little fool also probably decided to leave Sasuke alive to have him seek revenge." Mikoto told them. They were shocked to hear that the Uchiha planned something like that, and agreed with the result that occurred.
"I wonder how shocked Itachi will be when he finds out that you two are alive and he failed the mission technically.
"Why doesn't he know about it?" Mikoto asked in confusion.
"Well I got him hooked wanting a piece of info I had, then tricked him into torturing me for it so it would awaken my mangekyo, my mom set up another trap in my eyes to allow me to use the Kotoamatsukami three times prior to getting the EMS, to use for really hard situations, it only became available when I had awakened my mangekyo, so I made him do just that." Naruto explained. Mikoto made an 'oh' sound as she realized what happened
"So what did you make him believe." She asked, with Sayuri paying close attention.
"I made him think he simply tortured me and then completed his objectives, but since he let slip about a masked man claiming to be my grandfather, who I assume is the one who tried to do that to my father. I implanted suggestions to make sure he should be cautious with him and that he was not Uchiha Madara." He told them.
"So do you have any idea who the man is?" Sayuri asked.
"No but I now know for sure it's a half-blood, he told Itachi he way for him to avoid going blind and to obtain the EMS he had to do what he, Uchiha Madara did, take a siblings mangekyo eyes and implant them. Only the half-bloods who didn't know about the advantages of being pure-blood was." he explained.
"Well like you said, let's go see Hokage-sama." Mikoto said as they stood up, Naruto made a kage bunshin to carry Sasuke.
Chapter End!
AN/ Ok this chapter was WAAAAYYY longer than I wanted but I really wanted to get the pre-cannon stuff done quick, so next chapter as I said is graduation/flashbacks, also the genin test, and some history from characters.
So obviously Sayuri and Mikoto in the harem. Now I am going to explain some stuff so nobody starts yelling OP, OP, OP!
Naruto is not way powerful right now. The jutsu was just to get Sayuri and Mikoto to where they didn't need to take another's eyes, second the thing with Itachi was mostly just ingenuity in knowing what he had to work with and how to use it to survive, someone like Itachi is cool and collected, however take the mind games to him in his world
So I still got one slot I am wanting to fill so I would like ideas on who, I am going to make it an OC, but I want to know which clan YOU think they should be from, it will affect the decision. Will it be
Yuki
Terumi
Kaguya
Tell me what ya think, if it is Kaguya it will massively effect the plot, more so than the others, I won't be specific, let's just say that I haven't revealed EVERY advantage that comes with a more potent sharingan, combined with the TRUE, at least in my fic although I've seen it in many others, Senju bloodline.
NaruRikudo OUT!
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu - Shadow Clone Jutsu
Sakkaku no Megami - Goddess of Illusion
Shunshin no Jutsu - Body Flicker Jutsu
Kawarimi no Jutsu - Substitution Jutsu
IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ:
I am posting this chapter along with many others, possibly through chapter six, HOWEVER I would still like your opinions on the things I ask about in my AN's between now and the last chapter of the group I will be posting, should you wait to give them at the last chapter, it may be too later to have an effect because I will be moving to the part where I start employing the opinions only a little bit after these chapter are posted, SO please review, AS YOU READ!
