Chapter 1: Jutsu Success
Rei's POV
I sat up, rubbing my head. "That fucking hurts. Hikaru, next time, create a jutsu that doesn't hurt like hell." The red-headed boy sat up as well along with Aito.
"Quit complaining. This is the first time I used that jutsu. I didn't know the outcome, and I didn't know it would hurt," he responded.
"Did the jutsu even worked?" asked Aito. He was already standing up, stretching his arms and legs. The boy loves to stretch, mostly because he can transform to a part cat part human person.
"The flash of white light indicated that it did work. I sent us back to the time when the Nanadaime Hokage was training with Jiraiya of the Sannin," Hikaru answered.
"If I see Jiraiya, I'm going to freeze that pervert's genitals off!" I declared. I fucking hate perverts. They have no shame when it comes to peeking on women. I'm also planning on beating the snot out the future Nanadaime. When we went to Konoha to steal the reports and documents, we saw boys using a jutsu to turn themselves into naked women. Apparently, it was the Hokage who created the jutsu. Since then, I always wondered how he and Hikaru are related.
"Okay, that's enough talk about mutilating people. We need to go. When we came here, there was a flash of white light. We are still near Konoha and if any of their shinobi saw it, they'll be coming after us," said Aito.
Shit, he was right. It's very likely they'll send either elite jonin or numerous ANBU at us.
"Do you guys have your storage scrolls?" Hikaru asked. Aito and I nodded as we held them up. Each scroll contains our forehead protectors, an Akatsuki cloak, food, supplies, and the stolen reports and documents. "Good, we're going to need them. Take out your protectors and put them on. We can't wear the cloaks, and we can't let them see the reports and documents," he explained.
Aito and I nodded. The three of us unsealed our forehead protectors and put them on before putting away our scrolls. We began running towards Ame. As we ran, I began to notice that Hikaru looked a bit tired. Aito noticed it too because he turned to his direction.
"Hikaru, are you alright?" he asked. Hikaru stopped to catch his breath.
"The jutsu used up most of my chakra. I won't be able to run that fast," he answered. That won't be much help.
"We need you at full strength. I think I see a cave up ahead," I said. "We'll stop there so you can rest. He nodded, and we continued running.
A little while later, we arrived at the cave. There, Hikaru rested while Aito and I kept watch for any enemy shinobi. Hopefully the white light didn't draw any unwanted attention. After a hour has passed, Hikaru got up fully rested.
"Okay then, let's head back to the village," he ordered. Aito and I nodded and turned to the direction we were heading. Suddenly, four figures appeared. Shit, they were shinobi from Konoha. I narrowed my eyes and frowned at one of them.
He had gray hair and was wearing mask that covered his nose and mouth. Kakashi Hatake, the Copycat Ninja and the future Rokudaime Hokage. From what I learned from the archives, he's a pervert due to the fact that he loves to read erotic novels, specifically the Icha Icha franchise.
However, I hated him due to the fact that he killed one of my relatives. He killed a boy from my clan named Haku when he was a jonin sensei. Despite the fact that it was suicide, he still took away one of my family members who I'll never get to meet. I tried restraining my anger, but I couldn't. I'm going to make the man pay, future Hokage or not.
"Who are you, and what do you want?" asked Aito. Of course we know who they are, but we couldn't let them know that.
Kakashi's POV
I stared at the three shinobi before us. As I can see, they were just kids who are probably around the same age as Naruto. Their forehead protector's each has three vertical lines, indicating they were from the Hidden Rain Village.
"I'm not going ask again," shouted the boy with black hair and purple hair. "Who are you and what do you want?" I frowned at the question. He should tell from our forehead protectors that we're from the Hidden Leaf Village.
I was on a mission to wipe out a band of bandits who were causing trouble. Joining me on the mission was Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee, and my student Sakura, who is currently training under our Hokage Tsunade. We were on our way back to the village with our mission being a success until we saw a large flash of white light.
We decided to investigate the source of the strange light. Using his Byakugan, Neji said that he saw three chakra signatures. We decided to follow the signatures, which led us to these kids. I assume they are the reason of that strange light.
"We are youthful shinobi of the Hidden Leaf!" Lee shouted. Both Neji and I sighed. I can already tell the Gai rubbed off on him too much.
"There was a strange flash of white light, and we want to know if you were the cause of it!" Sakura demanded.
"We were sparring," the girl said in a deadpanned voice. However, I can tell that she was lying. They were definitely hiding something. I also noticed that the girl was staring at me with pure hatred in her eyes. I never met her in my life. However I did kill people, so maybe I killed a relative of hers. Maybe that's why she seems to hate me.
"Don't lie to us," I said in a serious tone. I can't really tell if they are a threat or not. Thankfully, they're not Akatsuki members.
"We were the cause of that white light. What's it to you?" said the other boy. My eyes widen when I saw him. He has the same red hair as Kushina Uzumaki, sensei's wife. Is it possible that he's an Uzumaki as well?
"What were you doing that created that light?" Neji asked. I can tell that he's beginning to lose his patience.
"Why should we tell you? We don't trust you," the boy with black hair hissed. I narrowed my eyes. Obviously, things are not going end well. I continued to stare at the possible Uzumaki. Maybe he doesn't have a family. I bet Naruto will be very excited to learn that he has a relative.
"Hey kid with the red hair. What's your name?" I asked. He turns to look at me. It seems he is debating whether to tell me or not. I can actually feel the stare of his amber colored eyes.
"Hikaru…Uzumaki," he answers. The rest of my group gasped in surprise and shock.
"Another Uzumaki? Looks like Naruto does have a family!" exclaimed Sakura. She smiled knowing how happy Naruto would be.
"How youthful!" shouted Lee. I swore I saw the Ame teens cringe. Lee then ran towards Hikaru with his hands spread opened.
"Lee wait!" Neji shouted. I watched Hikaru as he closed his eyes before reopening them. His eyes changed from amber to purple with rings. Is that what I think it is? Hikaru had his palm toward Lee.
"Shinra Tensei!" the Uzumaki shouted. Lee was immediately sent back, crashing through trees.
"Lee!" Sakura shouted. Neji and I looked at Lee before looking backing at the trio.
"Man he was annoying," Hikaru commented. Neji narrowed his eyes and ran towards the Uzumaki. Lee is his teammate, and he wasn't going to take the attack lightly. Hikaru simply raised his palm towards Neji.
"Shinra Tensei!" Hikaru shouted. Just like Lee, Neji was sent back flying. Before I can go catch him, a bright blue beam was shot at me. The attack forced me to jump back. The beam hit a tree instead, leaving it frozen. Another ice user?
I turned to see the girl holding both arms towards me. "I can't believe I missed," she said.
"You didn't miss. He dodged the attack. There's a big difference between missing an opponent, and an opponent dodging an attack," the black haired boy explained. I guess he is smart.
"Shouldn't you be helping?" the girl asked the boy.
"Hikaru already knocked out two of them, and the girl is already healing one of them," he answered. Using the Shunsin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique), I appeared in front of the girl. I lift up my forehead protector, revealing my sharingan. I readied my Raikiri (Lightning Cutter) to deal with the girl.
All of a sudden, I felt someone holding my attack arm. I turned around and saw the boy with black hair. How was he fast enough to stop me? Suddenly, my eyes widen as I saw that his appearance has changed.
His ears now resemble a cat's as well as his eyes. He also grew claws and a tail. No matter what, the world never fails at surprising me. The boy smirked. With one hand already holding my arm, he used his other one to help break it. I yelled out in pain as my jutsu deactivated. Then, he suddenly threw me like a rag doll. I landed painfully on the ground.
"This is the great Kakashi Hatake?" he asked. "This is my base form, how pathetic." He was right. Just like Neji, I underestimated them. That boy has great speed and strength, but what does he mean by base form?
"Aito, that's enough. It's not time for them to die yet," Hikaru said. The black haired boy, Aito, nodded.
"Besides, killing Kakashi Hatake is my job," the girl said. She turned to me. "Remember my name Kakashi. It's Rei," She said with a smirk. After that, the trio left towards the direction they were heading.
"Rei…" I said before blacking out.
Hikaru's POV
"We barely got here, and we already ended up in a fight," I said.
"Hey, you're the one who made the jutsu a little too flashy. Get it?" Aito said with a chuckle.
"I get it. Now, Konoha will send their shinobi after us," I groaned.
"I doubt it. Konoha strives for peace. I don't think they'll want a war with Amegakure," Rei explained. "Also, didn't your dad level Konoha with a single jutsu?"
"Yeah," I answered. "Maybe there's nothing to worry about."
"I'm not so sure," Aito said. "You did tell them that you're an Uzumaki. There's no doubt they'll be looking for you, especially Naruto. Didn't you hear the stories of him constantly trying to bring back his friend Sasuke Uchiha when he went rogue?"
"I know, but he might have to die when we extract the Nine Tails from him," I replied.
"You do know he survived," Rei responded.
I nodded. "That's because his father, who was resurrected by Orochimaru's Edo Tensei, contained the other half and gave it to him. Remind me to add him to the list of those who need to die."
"The list contains Obito Uchiha and Zetsu. They need to die immediately, plus Kabuto. Without them, Madara Uchiha and Kaguya won't be revived. Orochimaru can be taken care of by Sasuke. We're going to need Itachi to deal with Obito and Zetsu, but we could let him fight Sasuke," said Aito.
"According to the reports and documents, he's secretly a team player for Konoha. It's ironic since they don't know that. If he beats Sasuke, he'll become a threat. However, Sasuke will win due to the fact that Itachi is going blind and is dying," explained Rei.
"After the battle, we should burn Itachi's body while his brother is knocked out. That way, he'll become blind because he'll not obtain the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan," said Aito.
"What happens if he goes back to Konoha? Obito won't be alive to manipulate him. Also, how long does it take for an Uchiha to go blind?" asked Rei.
"The more he uses his Mangekyo Sharingan, the sooner he goes blind. When the time comes, we'll know what to do with him," I replied. "Honestly, I prefer having Itachi alive than Sasuke, but like you said, he is a team player for Konoha."
"We should be arriving to a forked road. One path will lead to Ame while the other will lead to Taki," said Aito. I nodded. I'm getting closer to finally meeting my birth parents.
"Hikaru, I will get the chance to kill Kakashi right? He needs to pay for killing Haku," Rei asked.
"Don't worry. When the Akatsuki invades Konoha to capture Naruto, you will get your chance. However, you'll have to be patient. We are capturing the tailed beasts in numerical order," I replied. Rei nodded, understanding.
"We're heading to the forked road," Aito announced. Rei and I nodded. We turned left, heading towards our home village.
"I wonder what the other Akatsuki members are like?" Rei asked.
"We'll, two of them consider themselves artists. One is Sasori of the Red Sand, who specializes in puppetry. The other is Deidara, who specializes in explosives. Another two are the famed Zombie Combo, because they are considered immortal. Kakuzu steals other people's hearts to extend his own lifespan, while Hidan is immortal due to his religion Jashinism. Kisame Hoshigaki is the feared Monster of the Hidden Mist and is a former member of the Seven Swordsmen. We all know who Itachi Uchiha, Zetsu, and Obito Uchiha is, because they will die," I said.
"We know who they are. I just want to know what their personalities are like," Rei said.
"Oh…."
"From what I read, Hidan swears a lot, so I bet we'll see a swearing contest between him and Rei," said Aito.
"Hey!" Rei shouted. I chucked. They're the best friends I could ever ask for.
Tsunade's POV
Two hours ago, I thought I saw a flash of white light from the windows of my office. At first, I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me because I drank too much sake. It wasn't until I saw two of my shinobi enter my office, with one of them being injured. "Report," I commanded.
"The mission on getting rid of those bandits was a success. However, we did meet a trio of Ame shinobi on our way back," Kakashi Hatake reported.
"What were Ame shinobi doing near Konoha?" I asked. Foreign shinobi near a hidden village sounds very suspicious.
"I don't know, but they were the cause of a strange flash of white light," Kakashi explained.
"I saw that white light. Do you know what they did to cause that light?" I asked.
"No Hokage-sama. They wouldn't tell us," he answered.
"What happened to Neji Hyuga and Rock Lee?" I asked.
"Rock Lee tried to hug one of Ame shinobi, which resulted to them attacking us. Lee received 6 broken ribs while Neji received a concussion and a sprained back. I healed most of their injuries, but they are still in the hospital. Kakashi-sensei received a broken arm," Sakura explained.
"They must be powerful shinobi then," I commented.
"Well actually, they're about fourteen years old," Kakashi replied. He looked away in embarrassment.
"You mean to tell me that you, Kakashi Hatake, got your ass handed by a bunch of kids?" I asked. I don't know whether to laugh or be really disappointed.
"In his defense Lady Tsunade, these kids have special abilities," Sakura responded. Kakashi nodded.
"What do you mean special abilities?" I asked. This got me quite interested.
"The trio was composed of two boys and one girl," Kakashi explained. "The girl, whose name is Rei, is part of the Yuki clan, meaning she has Ice Release."
I nodded. Sakura once told me of a mission she went as a genin. It was her first A ranked mission. During the mission, she encountered Zabuza of the Seven Swordsmen and his young partner Haku. Sakura explained that Haku can use ice jutsus. Apparently, he died protecting Zabuza by stepping in front of Kakashi's Raikiri. "Go on," I said.
"A boy, whose name is Aito, can turn himself into part cat part human. Because of that, he has great speed and strength," Kakashi said.
I nodded. "He must be part of the Neko Clan. The Neko Clan is a mobile clan. They are not affiliated with any village. They also have the ability to transform into part cat human creatures. During their transformation, their speed, endurance, and strength are enhanced along with obtaining a healing factor. These traits increase because there are four stages of transformation.
"It's better to kill them in their human forms, or they'll be much difficult to handle. They also have a tradition in which when a child reaches a certain age, they choose to either stay within the clan or leave." Both of them nodded at the information. "Now what about the other boy?" I asked.
"His name is Hikaru Uzumaki," Sakura answered. My eyes widened in surprise. As far as I remember, Naruto is the only Uzumaki left alive ever since Kushina died. I have to be sure if there are other Uzumakis.
"Are you sure he's an Uzumaki?" I asked. Kakashi nodded.
"He told me his name, and he has red hair," The copycat nin answered. Shit! Red hair is the most common trait for an Uzumaki. "Another thing is that the boy possesses the Rinnegan." Oh god. Just my luck, not only there's another Uzumaki, but he also possess the most powerful dojutsu of all time.
"What should we do Lady Tsunade?" Sakura asked. Frankly, I don't know. He did attack and injure three of my shinobi. Luckily Sakura wasn't injured because she was too busy healing her teammates.
"We put those three on the bingo book. They injured my shinobi, and that crime was left unpunished. Also, we need to know what that light they caused, whether or not they were trying to harm the village with it," I said. "If any of those kids are seen, I want them apprehended."
"Wouldn't that cause a war with Rain?" Kakashi asked. As much as I hate it, it could cause a war.
"I'm pretty sure that once they see them on the bingo books, they wouldn't let them out of their sights," I said to them. Both of them nodded. "Alright, you are dismissed." Both said 'hai' before leaving. I let out a heavy sigh before taking another sip of my sake.
The Senju and the Uzumaki Clans are related. Both clans have always been allies of Konoha. Did the kid know that? If he did, why did he attack them? He could become a dangerous threat to the Hidden Leaf. The way he injured Lee, Neji, and Kakashi, it was if he had some sort of vendetta against Konoha.
We need Naruto. Hopefully he comes back soon. He has the ability to change people. Once he knows that he has a cousin, he could get this Hikaru Uzumaki to become our ally. We need all the help we can get in our battle with the Akatsuki. I took another sip of my sake before going back to my paperwork. I hate paperwork.
Hikaru's POV
It's been a while since we entered the Rain country. True to its name, it hardly has stopped raining. It's a good thing we stored our umbrellas in the scrolls.
"How much farther is it until we get to the village?" Aito asked.
"It shouldn't be that far enough," Rei answered. It was true. We've only been to small villages only for C rank missions. The only major village we went to was Konoha when we were trying to steal the reports and documents.
"The future is so going to be different once we're done with our mission," Aito said.
"That's true," Rei said. "Once we kill Obito and Zetsu, Madara won't be revived, Kaguya won't come back, the 4th Shinobi World War won't likely occur, and Infinite Tsukuyomi will be scrapped. Because of that, the crisis with the moon won't occur as well."
"We'll be actually doing a favor for this world," I said. Both of them nodded in agreement. I smirked. Sorry Naruto, looks like I get to be the hero this time.
"After we kill them, what's going to be the plan?" Aito asked.
"The Akatsuki members were successful in capturing tailed beast number 1 through 7. I'm currently thinking of strategies on how to deal with the Konoha nin. The Akatsuki members who died are needed alive. Just like Mom and Dad, they were played by Obito and Zetsu," I replied.
"What happens once we get all the tailed beasts?" Rei asked.
"Either use it as a weapon or seal it," I answered. The village has finally appeared. I'm coming home.
