Disclaimer- I do not own Naruto..

A/N- Okay i know it doesn't seem right that naruto a 7 year old is already a genin.. the same for itachi who is 8 at the moment..
well according to the original series itachi graduated at the age of 7 and mastered the sharingan at 8..
As for them doing missions.. they will be doing low levels only.. i do not intend to let them have any high ranking missions until shisui gets friendly.. Right now id best describe his behavior as one who hates naruto as a senju member, but not as a person..
Yamato age 17- 18


Naruto and the rest of his team were on their way back from a D rank mission to remove weeds.. Both Shisui and Itachi were sporting grins that could make anyone laugh.. Naruto had burnt his face due to shisui burning the weeds with a katon Jutsu when Naruto was busy trying to pull out a nasty weed from its roots..

Each time they had any D rank Mission Shisui would end up using some jutsu which would cause damage to Naruto, Shisui's arsenal had grown under the guidance of some of the uchiha's from the konoha police force..
while they wanted shisui and itachi to join them they knew that as Genin wearing Headbands they would listen only to the Hokage and his shinobi..

Each time lies were fed into shisui's mind about how konoha was cunning to keep the uchiha as dogs while the other ninja had a chance to lead..
They always told him about how the senju were responsible for the war between the uchiha and senju, The only people they spoke about with respect was one senju known as Hashirama senju the Shodaime hokage...

One such Morning The Police force were training Shisui and the topic was out about the Uzumakis.. A clan Shisui knew Naruto was from, The topic led to the betrayal of Konoha to the Hidden Eddie village.. Shisui for once felt sad for naruto but was still angry about the senju side..

Yamato was on his secret mission while Team Shadow (Naruto, Itachi, Shisui) were given a D rank mission, they had to find a certain flower.. a flower that was linked to the last tree that the shodaime had grown with his Wood Style (Mokuton) ability..

They made it to the valley of the end and over the waterfall to where the flower was.. but apparently the flower was in a state that looked like it was going to die at any moment..
they had to get the flower as only one would bloom at that time of the year.. Each time that flower would be kept in front of the shodaime grave..
This flower was however a target to many villages as they wanted to discover its speciality and harness what once was the Shodaimes ability..

3 Bandit ninja with strange gauntlets stood in their way.. Shisui and Itachi both used a Katon Jutsu while Naruto used the Kunai Kage Bunshin Jutsu through the Fireballs.. Eventually calling it the Flaming Blades Jutsu..
The bandits however countered the Jutsu with a strange shield that formed from their gauntlets..
the kunai just bounced over it while the flames just died out..

team shadow knew they were dealing with a higher Mission level.. though not even one of the bandits were ninja their weapons were quite strong and could be a problem for their team..
their team would have to rely on taijutsu alone..

Naruto: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu! 4 clones stood beside him, itachi and shisui as well charged, the bandits however were well armed.. they had traps set up so they could capture anyone who got in their way..
Wires entangled around itachi trapping him but it was a genjutsu as he bursted into crows..
shisui on the other hand was doing his signature move... his body flicker move was so good he left after images, shisui quickly knocked out one bandit and was on his way to punch another when suddenly the bandit saw through his Body flicker..
Though it was somewhat of a guess the dagger would go right into shisui's chest..
blood flew on shisuis face, his face almost shocked and his body trembling.. but he didn't feel any pain..

The blood wasn't his it was Naruto's.. He had apparently used his Shadow clones to launch himself in front of shisui just in time to catch the hit with his hand.. The dagger stuck into Naruto's hand while Naruto's kunai made it straight into the Bandit's Head..

Itachi managed to kill the last bandit and rushed towards Naruto... Shisui on the other hand was frozen.. He couldn't believe that a senju would risk his life to save him.. It was contradictory to what the senjus had been Portrayed by the uchiha police force..
Shisui remained silent but Naruto knew shisui had considered him a friend after this..

To complete the mission they had to get the flower but it was dead.. they were too late.. The area was both life giving and fatal to the flower.. it had to be plucked immediately the flower had wilted.. Naruto tried using chakra to give it life.. but what happened was beyond team shadow..
the flower not only bloomed once again but also grew comparatively in size.. They plucked it and took it back..

While reporting Hiruzen was also present in the office.. while minato was somewhat doubtful about the flowers reaction hiruzen was sure it was the mokuton's ability.. he however said that it was probably because naruto had a water affinity..

after being dismissed Naruto went back to Kosuke (The eternal Genin) for his training..
when Naruto told him what happened to the flower.. Kosuke was really happy.. he got naruto a dead plant and asked naruto to use his chakra to give it life all the while thinking about it growing..
The plant grew a bit and then the roots took place in the soil making it grow larger in size..

This was the awakening of a long lost bloodline ability.. to control wood combining earth and water.. Kosuke knew he had to train Naruto in both elements before Naruto could use wood style as his permanent attack and defense form..
soon it would be time when Kosuke would send Naruto to the Senju brothers..

The only question was how?
