The Village Hidden in the Leaves
Daichi and the 4th's fusion clone appeared in front of the check in station shocking the two Chunin who sat behind it. It wasn't every day that you saw someone who was supposed to be dead.
The clone put Daichi down. He was finally in Konoha, but he couldn't care less about that. He just fell to his knees and stared at the 4th's fusion clone until it dispelled. His father was dead. It was at this point that he broke down crying. It was also at this point that the Chunin began to move.
One of them, a man with a bandage on his nose, exclaimed. "Izumo! Get the Hokage and tell him what's happened! I'll stay here and keep an eye on him!"
The one he addressed, a man with brown hair, started running towards the Hokage's tower. "I'm on it!"
The one with the bandage on his nose carefully approached Daichi. He felt sorry for the kid, but his training made him weary of anyone he didn't recognize. Daichi noticed him approaching.
He pulled himself together knowing that their would be time to mourn his father later. For now he had to deal with the situation at hand. Daichi's father had told him all about the 4th Hokage, so he knew that this must look strange to everyone.
Daichi stood up, wiped his eyes, and pushed his emotions down determined to keep a level head.
The Chunin commanded, "Stay where you are and wait for the Hokage to arrive."
"I understand." Daichi replied solemnly.
Fortunately, Daichi didn't have to wait long as an old man wearing a white robe with a red undershirt appeared. He was accompanied by men in gray armor with white mask and swords as well as the bandaged nosed Chunin.
Daichi knew from his dad's story's that the one in the white robe was the Hokage, and the men where Anbu. Despite the situation, the Hokage was calm.
He looked at Drake before turning to the Chunin. "I assume this is the boy you told me about."
The Chunin replied, "Yes Lord Hokage."
The Hokage addressed all the villagers that had gathered since the boy arrived. "You may return to what you were doing prior to this child's appearance. I will handle the situation from here."
The villagers began to disperse per the Hokage's orders. He then turned his attention to the child that was before him. He could guess who this child was because he looked so much like his father except for the hair which came from his grandfather. Still, he needed conformation on Daichi's identity before anything could be decided.
"Right, come with me. I must hear your side of things." The Hokage commanded as he began to walk back to his tower.
Daichi's father had told told him that the Hokage was someone that he trusted so Daichi didn't hesitate to follow him. The Anbu filed in around the two of them.
As group walked towards the tower, the villagers stared at Daichi. He ignored them and instead observied his surroundings until the group walked inside the Hokage's Tower.
Hokage's Office
"You may return to your duties and leave me with the child." The Hokage said causing the Anbu to file out.
He then addressed Daichi. "Please take a seat and tell me how you came to appear in the village."
Daichi sighed. "My name is Daichi Ryu…"
From there Daichi recounted everything that lead to him appearing in the village. He then told The 3rd a bit about himself. The 3rd listened to Daichi never interrupting him except for the occasional question.
"You claim to be the son of Mara and Hagane, but can you prove this claim? Could you perform your blood limit for me?" The Hokage asked curiously.
Daichi replied, "My father is the only person I've spared with up to this point. I can't perform the Jutsu until I've spare with someone who's closer to my level of Chakra. I do have proof though. Before my father… He gave me this letter and his ring."
He took both objects out and gave them to the Hokage. The 3rd could immediately authenticate the that the ring belonged to Hagane as it was emitting his Chakra. The Hokage then looked at the letter.
"I see this letter is unopened. Would you mind if I read it to you?" The Hokage asked
Daichi nodded his head in agreement.
The letter said,
"Hokage,
I've sent this letter ahead with the Chunin because you know I was never big on meetings. I request that you allow me to reestablish the Fusion Clan. I was angry that my wife was dead and afraid of what I might do… What I might do to his kid. I didn't want to hurt his legacy.
I've lost that anger in the years that followed. My son has been brought up to know the full truth. I know that my son and Naruto will become friends as Daichi takes after his kind mother. Sometimes I think he only inherited my blood limit and my looks as I see so much of her in him.
In addition, I know it's a little late, but I hope you'll let my son join the current last years at the academy. I've trained him to the best of my abilities, and I know he will excel at the academy.
Signed,
Hagane of the Leaf."
Tears fell from Drake's eyes because that letter just reminded him of all the times his father said he was like his mother. Every time he said that, his father would smile at him with that warm, loving smile
The Hokage put the letter back in it's envelope and handed it back to Drake with the ring. Daichi just put them both away before getting his emotions under control.
"You are the son of Hagane and Mara. I wish it was under better circumstances, but as of now you are the sole member and head of The Fusion Clan. In order for me to place you in the last year of the academy, you must show me what your father has taught you. Only then can I consent to the request." The Hokage explained.
Daichi couldn't believe what he was hearing. He had a feeling that the Hokage would let him set another date for this test of his, but his dream was conflicting with his sadness. In the end, his dream won.
Daichi asked, "What do you wish for me to do?"
The Hokage thought for a minute before saying, "Just show me anything you can do that won't destroy my office.."
Daichi said, "Very well."
He stood up and thought for a second before deciding to begin with a demonstration of his Chakra control. He walked over to a wall in the room, concentrated his chakra to his feet, and walked up the wall until he was standing on the ceiling.
"Impressive. Not many students know about Chakra control. Most of those that do know about it can't apply it as well as this boy can." The Hokage thought amazed.
"Let's move onto something else. Can you show me any jutsu's that you can do?" The Hokage asked, curious what else Daichi had been taught.
Daichi stopped the flow of his chakra and landed on the floor. "Well my father taught me a few. low leveled, lightning jutsus like 'Lightning Beast Tracking Fang' and 'Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop'
(Lightning Beast Tracking Fang allows the user to create a lightning wolf and control it in battle while the Horizontal Chop is where a user jumps from a high vantage point and performs a simple chop coated in lightning.)
Daichi said, "Oh, I can also perform the Shadow Clone Jutsu, but I'm only able to create two clones for now." He made the hand signs. "Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Two, solid clones of himself appeared. He waited a moment before dispelling them.
The Hokage folded his hand on his desk. "Are you aware that's a forbidden jutsu?"
"I am. My father told me that performing the jutsu before you were ready could lead to severe chakra exhaustion and in some cases death. He only taught me the jutsu after determining that my Chakra control was good enough." Daichi replied.
The Hokage smiled. "It is clear that Hagane trained you well." He thought it over for a moment. "I will allow you to attend the academy as a last year student. Classes start in two days.
Now, it's been a long day. For tonight, I'll have you put up in the village inn. An Anbu can escort you. Tomorrow, I'll send someone who can show you around the village and to your clan's home."
"Thank you sir." Daichi said as he stood up.
The Hokage summoned an Anbu member that appeared in the office. Before letting him go, the Hokage had one last thing to say to him.
"Listen Daichi, I know that you have gone through something terrible, but as you progress from here remember what I'm about to tell you. You are defined not by what happens but how you react to it."
Daichi nodded his head before following the Anbu out of the office.
Leaf Village Inn
Daichi entered his room and immediately locked the door. He fell onto his bed not even bothering to take off his shirt. He then buried his head in the pillow and cried himself to sleep. Images of his father plagued his dreams.
Late Next Morning
Daichi woke up and for just a moment he thought he was home. That he had just slept in and his father was going to tell him that he's missed hours of training. They'd have breakfast together before going about the rest of the day.
Then the the events of the day before came rushing back to his mind. Daichi would have cried if he hadn't already cried so much yesterday evident by the tears stained pillow.
Daichi sat up and sighed. His attention was soon drawn to the door as someone was knocking and speaking with a loud excited voice. "Daichi Ryu, I was told this is your room. My name is Might Guy. The Hokage sent me to show you around the village. He also sent me with some clothes for you."
Daichi was taken aback by the man's voice, but he soon opened the door to see a tall weird looking man standing outside his room. His hair was bowl cut, he wore a green spandex, and he wore a Jonin flak jacket over that.
Guy said, "Here you go young Daichi."
He passed Daichi the clothes. "Thanks. Just give me a moment, and I should be ready."
"Right, I'll be out here waiting until then." Guy said before flashing a smile and giving Daichi a thumbs up.
Daichi closed the doors and laid the clothes out to look at them. There was a pair of dark blue Shinobi sandals that came with a dark blue, short sleeved shirt, over shirt, and pants.
He quickly put his new clothes on before throwing his old, training clothes in the trash. Once he was done changed, he left his room to find Guy standing to the right.
Guy said, "Daichi Ryu, It is my pleasure to be the second person that welcomes you to Konoha."
"So you're the one the Hokage got to show me around?" Daichi asked, still taking in the odd appearance of the Jonin
Guy replied, "That is correct. I will show you all of Konoha, for I believe one can only use The Power of Youth if they are comfortable with where they will be staying. Follow me and we shall begin the tour."
Daichi nervously chuckled before following Might Guy.
.Streets of Konoha
"What would you like to do first Daichi? Do you want to see your house, go to the bank, or are we going to see the other sights of Konoha?" Guy asked.
Daichi knew they'd have to do all three just from the man's cheery disposition. "I guess we should do the third option first."
Guy happily said, "Let us go forth then."
The two of them went all over Konaha. Daichi saw Hokage's Faces, the academy, the various markets, restaurants, and black smiths. He made a note to go to one of the black smiths to replace his sword and pick up the tools he'd lost.
Training Grounds, Some Time Later…
Guy suddenly ran off heading straight for a a man wearing a mask. The man had medium length, sliver, spiky hair, and wore a Leaf head band that covered one of his eyes. He was holding and orange book that Daichi couldn't quiet make out the tittle of.
Guy shouted, "My eternal rival Kakashi Hatake! I challenge you so that we may break our tie!"
Kakshi stopped and adopted a bored look on his face before addressing Guy. "I'm sorry Guy, did you say something."
"Why is my rival so cool!" Guy exclaimed with fake tears streaming down his face.
Daichi joined Guy causing Kakashi to glance at him before continuing on his way. Once he was gone, three other people, who seemed around Drake's age, appeared.
One looked like a mini clone of Guy, the other was a girl who wore a pink shirt, black pants, and her hair had two buns buns. The last one was a Hyuga who seemed even more serious than what his father told him.
Guy was his usually self once more as he addressed the newcomers. "My most youthful students, what are you doing here?"
The mini clone of Guy replied, "Guy Sensei, we knew you were going to be busy showing someone around the village, so we took it upon ourselves to train.."
Guy cried again. "I give my new students the day off, and they choose to spend it training. I couldn't have asked for better, more youthful students."
Daichi noticed that the Hyuga was looking at him with disdain, but his attention was soon drawn to the girl who was also looking at him. The only difference is that she was smiling.
She asked, "Hey Guy Sensei, is this the kid that you're showing around today?"
"My faithful students, this is Daichi Ryu. Daichi, these are my students Rock Lee, Tenten, and Neji Hyuga."Guy stated..
Lee approached Daichi with a smiled on his face, "I've heard that you're apart of the fusion clan. That is why I request to fight you."
Daichi was always up for a fight. "You're on."
"Excellent, let us head to the middle of the training field where our match can begin."
Lee walked off and Daichi followed him.
Guy excitedly said, "I shall referee this most youthful battle."
Tenten and Neji soon gathered around while Lee and. Daichi got into their stances.
It wasn't long before Guy shouted, "Begin!"
Lee moved first charging straight at Daichi. He crossed his arms in front of himself blocking the first attack, but he was surprised as the attack pushed him back a few inches. Lee clearly had some strength.
Now it was Daichi's turn to launch an attack. he uncrossed his arms and ran at Lee. He rolled to the right avoiding Lee's punch while also gathering electricity in his right hand.
"Lightning Beast Tracking Fang." Drake declared.
He created his wolf made of lightning that immediately went after Lee. Lee, to his credit, avoided it for about a minute before it hit the young Genin. It shocked Lee for few moments more. Then it disappeared allowing Lee to hit the ground.
Before Lee could get back up, Guy called the match. "I declare Daichi Ryu the winner."
Neji and Tenten left to continue their training while Lee stood back up.
Lee turned to his Sensei. "I see now that I must increase my taring." Lee dropped to the ground and began doing push-ups. "If I can't do 100 push-ups, I'll do 150 sit-ups."
Guy smiled and gave Lee a thumbs up "That's the spirit. Keep it up my most youthful student."
"Yes Guy Sensei!" Lee exclaimed
Guy approached Daichi and happily said, "Good job to you as well. I think now is the time that we should move onto the last stop of the day."
Daichi's Home (Fusion Clan's House)
Daichi stood outside with Guy stood outside getting the first look at his new home. It was a simple, two story house though that was to be expected as The Fusion Clan had just been his father and mother.
"I will leave you to settle in." Guy said.
He produced a key and placed it in Daichi's hand. He then took off running. Daichi could say, despite what happened with his father, that his first day in Konoha had been a good one.
Daichi sighed as he walked up to the door, unlocked it, and entered the house. It was clean, but he just assumed that it was kept that way thanks to the Hokage. Daichi walked around the house to get a good look at it.
on the first floor he found a kitchen, bathroom, dining room, and living room. There was a back door which lead to a big back yard perfect for training. He then walked up their stairs where he saw 4 well spaced doors.
He opened the first door to his right where he found a bedroom with a king sized bed. It had to be them aster bedroom, and most likely was used by his parents. He decided to walk down the hall and open the second door on the right.
Here he found a second bathroom. He then walked across the hall and opened the door to find a room that was bare and had been painted white. The last room, and the one across from his parent's, contained a crib and the walls were sky blue.
This must have been his room from the the first few months they'd lived here. Daichi stepped inside this room and knelt beside the crib. He spent a fair amount of time just staring at it before he walked into his parents old room.
He now looked around this room. There was much to see, but he did eventually come across a book that had his name printed on the front. He opened the book and quickly flipped through it.
Every page was blank except for the first one which held two pictures on its page. One was of him laying in the crib. The last one was a picture of himself, his father, and his mother. Daichi never got to meet her, but his father had described her well enough.
Tears fell from Daichi's eyes staining the paper of the book. He put the book back where he found it before climbing into the bed and crying himself to sleep once more.
Tomorrow he'd buy another bed and put it in the blank room. That way he wouldn't have to set foot in the other two rooms until he was ready.
