In the Elemental Nations between the Land of Fire and Wind, there is a school of gifted youngsters. It is called the Chikara Home for Peculiar Children. It was created by Valara Okonkwo, Princess of Wakanda. She herself was a mutant and possessed the ability to manipulate botanical life similar to the fabled First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. Currently, she was talking to one of the most famous mutants. His names was James Howlett, better known as Logan or the Wolverine.
"So, are you enjoying your stay here?" Valara asked, pouring water into her glass. Logan nodded his head.
"Yes, this place reminds me a lot of Japan," Logan answered as he poured himself a glass of water.
"What do I owe the pleasure of the great Wolverine?" Valara asked, smirking. Logan chuckled at his superhero name.
"I wish to give Laura a more stable lifestyle away from the superhero life and America," Logan answered.
"Why here?" Valara asked.
"This place is similar to Japan. I thought Laura would fit into an environment like this," Logan answered. Valara nodded her head in understanding. Then, they heard ruckus outside. The two turned to see the shouts of "Look out" and "Watch where you're going, Shiori." Logan looked at Valara for explanation. Valara just sighed before the door burst opened.
"Lara-sama, she has awoken," a young girl shouted as she barged into the room. Her names was Shiori Hyuuga. She had hair as black as a raven. Her eyes were light blue not lavender like traditional Hyuuga. She wore a long, white dress.
"Who is she talking about?" Logan asked.
"Nariu Uzumaki," Valara answered.
'Who's she?" Logan asked again. Valara ignored him.
"What happened?" Valara asked Shiori.
"A bright blue pillar of light pierced the sky. Then, I heard a telepathic message from her. It sounded like she was in a lot of pain," Shiori answered, worry clear in her voice.
"This isn't good," Valara muttered. She then walked to a plant in her room.
"Inform Andrew Lapush and Chisao Arashi that Operation: Flying Thunder is a go," Valara ordered the plant. The plant nodded and sunk into the ground. She then turned to Logan.
"Logan, I need you to get Narui Uzumaki as soon as possible. You have thirty minutes to prepare," Valara ordered.
"Why?" Logan asked.
"Shiori will explain on the way," Valara answered. Shiori widened her eyes.
"W-W-W," Shiori stuttered. She then felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up to see a smiling Logan.
"Don't worry, kiddo. I will protect you," Logan smiled.
"Yes, Logan is part of the fabled X-men. He will protect you during your mission," Valara stated. Shiori nodded her head unsteadily.
"I can trust you to keep Laura safe," Logan questioned. Valara nodded her head.
"Good, let's go, kiddo," Logan instructed. Shiori nodded her head and followed Logan as the duo left the room. Valara looked out the window. She saw thunder clouds appear.
'I wonder if she is as powerful as you," Valara thought as thunder struck the sky and rain started to fall.
With Gaara and Rock Lee
The duo looked at the darkening sky. Thunder clouds were forming at an alarming rate. Rain and lightning struck the ground. Thunder boomed all around them.
"We have to get back to the village," Rock Lee stated, but felt pain flood his system. Gaara looked at him.
"It's too dangerous," Gaara stated," The storm is coming in too fast and from the looks of it, we are too exhausted to move. I have a feeling that the area will be flooded very soon."
"What do we do then?" Rock Lee asked.
"I have enough chakra to form a shield around us," Gaara answered, moving his hands," It should protect us until the storm passes." Sand started forming around the duo.
"You said the area will be flooded. How will we get out?" Rock Lee asked. Gaara looked at him.
"We cross that bridge when we get there," Gaara answered. The duo were soon covered in darkness as the sand protected them. True to Gaara's words, the area was soon flooded by the heavy onset of rain water. Unknown to them, there were two individuals, watching them. The two wore black cloaks with red clouds on them.
"This is the perfect chance to capture the jinchuuriki of the one-tails," one of the men stated.
'No, Deidara," the other man ordered.
"But Sasori," Deidara pleaded.
"Look, Deidara. The current is moving too fast for us to do anything," Sasori stated," I don't have a doll to withstand a current and you don't have enough chakra to explode a hole in the flood."
"Really, just watch me," Deidara responded before jumping," WATCH MY ART." Deidara then threw something. Then, an explosion could be heard. It was the size of a house. Deidara smiked, but watched in shock as the hole was quickly filled by the water.
'H-H-How?" Deidara asked as he landed back with Sasori.
"This isn't a normal storm. I have a feeling something is making it like this," Sasori stated," it has something to do with that pillar of light."
"What do we do now?" Deidara asked.
"Sooner or later, the storm will end. The jinchuuriki will be weak for maintaining that dome for so long. That is the moment we strike," Sasori answered as he sat down.
"What about that green guy?" Deidara asked.
"Dispose of him anyway you want," Sasori answered. Deidara grinned and sat down to wait for the storm to pass.
With Kakashi and Narui
Kakashi was jumping from tree to tree. Thunder could be heard nearby. Rain fell heavily onto Kakashi and Narui.
"Dammit, the storm is coming in too fast," Kakashi thought," I need to find shelter." He spotted a cave nearby. He rushed in there. He took of his jonin jacket and laid Narui on it. He then turned around. He performed a sequence of handsigns.
"Earth Style: Mighty Earth Wall," Kakashi said and a wall of earth sealed the entrance of the cave. Darkness enveloped the duo.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu," Kakashi said in the dark and light illuminated the cave. Kakashi then looked over at Nariu. Her chest wound managed to close up, but she was still bleeding from other places. Kakashi sat down next to her. He started treating her wounds.
"What have I done wrong?" Kakashi thought," I thought I managed to convince Sasuke to move away from his path of vengeance. I'm sorry, Minato-sensei. If only I was a better sensei, your daughter wouldn't be at the door of the Shinigami."
"Kakashi-sensei," Nariu said weakly.
"Nariu, don't worry," Kakashi stated," Just rest. You have many life threatening injuries. It's only because of the Kyuubi that you're alive."
"Kakashi-sensei, what was that light?" Nariu asked.
"I'm not sure, Nariu," Kakashi answered," All I know is that it wasn't that the Kyuubi's chakra."
"I know," Nariu coughed out.
"How?" Kakashi asked.
"The Kyuubi told me," Nariu answered, smiling weakly.
"Wait, you can talk to the Kyuubi," Kakashi responded.
"Was the seal damaged during the fight?" Kakashi thought.
"Yeah, he pulled me into my mind when I was unconscious," Nariu explained," He too was curious about the light. He says he has only felt this power from one other person."
"Who?" Kakashi asked.
"The Fourth Hokage," Nariu answered.
"Yes, he did," Kakashi replied. Nariu turned her head to look at him.
"To be honest, there were only a few people that knew about his ability," Kakashi explained," Even to this day, we don't know the full extent of his power. Jiraiya, Tsunade, and his wife, Kushina, knew about his power. We thought he was the first of his generation. Sadly, he died, fighting the Kyuubi, before he could produce a child." Kakashi cringed inside as he lied to Narui, but he knew it was to protect her.
"Does that mean I'm the first of a new bloodline generation?" Nariu asked.
"It seems like it," Kakashi answered. Kakashi then noticed Nariu look at something.
"Don't do it, Nariu. You're still injured," Kakashi said. Then, he noticed movement behind him. He turned to his head to see a floating rock covered a blue like substance.
"ARGGHH," Nariu cried out, clutching her chest.
"NARIU," Kakashi replied as he could see fresh blood staining her torso. He moved her shirt upward to reveal a blood-soaked fish-net shirt.
"Crap, it is bleeding faster than I thought," Kakashi thought.
"Nariu, can you hear me?" Kakashi asked. No response.
"Nariu!" Kakashi called out. No response.
'NARIU," Kakashi shouted.
"Shut up," Nariu replied, in a different voice," She's not going to wake any time soon."
"Who are you?" Kakashi questioned," What did you do to Nariu?"
"Don't worry about the brat. She is unconscious due to the pain. I've taken this opportunity to talk to you," Nariu answered, in the different voice.
"How do I know that you aren't planning to take over Nariu's body?" Kakashi asked.
"Her body is too damaged for me to be able to do anything. If she wasn't in so much pain, I wouldn't be able to take over her mind. She is too strong-willed," Nariu answered.
"True, what did you want to talk to me about?" Kakashi asked.
"I will be using Nariu's new power to block out the nerves in her chest and to keep it together, so I can healt," Nariu answered," This will take months possibly years depending on what she does during this time. Tell her this will decrease the amount of power she has access to for a while until I fully heal the chest wound."
"I understand," Kakashi responded.
"Good," Nariu replied before falling silent.
"I wonder if they're going to come, Minato-sensei," Kakashi thought as he changed Nariu's now blood-soaked bandages. Outside the cave, there stood two figures. They too were dressed in black cloaks with red clouds on them.
"What do we do now, Itachi?" one of the figures asked.
"I want you to swim and retrieve the jinchuuriki, Kisame," Itachi answered.
"I can't," Kisame replied," The current is abnormally strong. I won't be able to grab her before she drowns."
"Then, our best option is to wait for the storm to die down," Itachi responded.
"What do we do about that Kakashi fellow?" Kisame asked.
"You decide," Itachi answered. Kisame smirked.
