Sharingan No Kami
Chapter Four: Welcome To Hell
Okay and now onto the next chapter of Sharingan No Kami.
All of you please thank my BETA reader Zimbolical, other than that have a nice day.
"Talking"
'Thinking'
Jutsu when in use not just being talked about.
Story Start-
Naruto let his body sway backwards as Mikoto's kick flew over him. The blond reached up grabbing the leg, before pivoting and throwing the black haired girl at Nawaki. The Senju heir's eyes went wide as he saw the Uchiha flying towards him, he abandoned the hand seals he had been making and got ready to catch the girl. Mikoto hit the Senju with close to bone shattering force, sending both of them flying. Naruto felt the ground under him rumble and jumped, deliberately leaving his arms hanging low. A pair of chains erupted from the earth, snaking around his out stretched limbs. The blond smiled as he spotted Kushina, who was smirking at him triumphantly. "I got you sensei!" The red head declared, Naruto sported a smirk of his own and Kushina's blood ran cold.
"You know Kushi-chan there is a difference between catching someone and me allowing you to catch me." Naruto stated, the red head looked confused before Naruto gripped the chakra chains and swung them with all his might. Kushina's eyes widened with horror as she was lifted from the ground by the force of Naruto's swing, and she found herself flying through the air. Naruto smirked before slamming the unfortunate Uzumkai into her team mates sending all three of them flying as the chains dissipated from the impact.
Naruto leaped on to a tree branch which was overlooking the three downed Genin before leaping into the air. He rushed through the seven hand seals with a speed that only a veteran could, 'horse, tiger, ram, monkey, boar, horse, tiger! Naruto inhaled deeply air saturating his lungs"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu"Naruto yelled, expelling the orb of flame from his mouth, the attack raced at the Genin.
Mikoto looked up at the fire ball racing towards Kushina, Nawaki and her. It was at least three body lengths across and four high. She could hear water running behind them, her sensei must have dumped them there for them to be able to defend. Mikoto was about to begin her hand seals when she realized, the defense she was planning wouldn't work. Her defense Suiton: Mizurappa wouldn't cut it, her sensei was smart, scary smart. He would have to know that her first defense would be Mizurappa, the jutsu was only a C rank but would defeat the fireball, that was when it clicked, the trap was the fire ball.
Mizurappa would put out the fire but then what, Mikoto's eyes widened. It would leave a large amount of water in front of them, something a skilled opponent, such as her sensei, could take advantage of. Probably by sending the water back at them with a Fūton: Daitoppa then electrifying it with a Raiton changed her plan of defense, Mizurappa would not work it left too much water in front of them, so she just needed the water to be spread out enough that her sensei couldn't take advantage of that fact. Mikoto's hands blurred, she saw Kushina and Nawaki doing the same in her peripheral vision, she just hoped they all had the same idea."Suiton: Suijinheki"All three Genin announced spraying a huge volume of water from their mouths, Suijinheki was a B ranked Suiton Ninjutsu so it would defeat the fire ball in both nature type and in Ninjutsu rank, but more importantly it forced the water away from the three with such force their sensei wouldn't be able to send it back at them.
Naruto smiled as he saw the water wave crush the fire ball sending upwards, a giant gout of steam. The Jonin smiled that had been some good thinking by all three of them. The Suijinheki prevented him from turning the Jutsu back at them and with the force the water was launched with allowed them a means to counter attack as well, they were getting better. Naruto jumped and stuck to the underside of a branch smiling at his Genin's progress, their ability to attack and defend at the same time was impressive but they really should have thought ahead a bit more, after all. With all of the steam hanging around the battlefield right now he could easily pull off a sneak attack, the three should have dispersed the steam it with a Futon technique the moment the fire ball was put out. Still for a bunch of Genin that was more than passable, Naruto smirked, as he held his hands up."Kirigakure no Jutsu"With all the steam his team would not be able to tell the difference, the mist mingled with the steam making it harder to see. The blond stayed silent as he crept toward his Genin over the branches.
Kushina looked around, was it just her or was the steam getting denser? Her eyes widened, oh shit Kirigakure no Justu. The red head blurred through hand seals, she wasn't really one for Ninjutsu but her sensei had forced her to become at least proficient in the art."Fūton: Daitoppa"The young Uzumaki yelled at the top of her lungs, the wind technique pushing the combined mist and steam away. Kushina whirled looking for her team mates, her eyes widened, Nawaki was already on the groun out cold and Naruto was right behind Mikoto. "MIKOTO!" yelled Kushina in warning, Naruto's hand descended and the Uchiha's eyes rolled into the back of her head as she was rendered unconscious.
Naruto blurred out of Kushina's sight, the Uzumaki heiress felt a stinging sensation before everything went dark.

Naruto looked down at the fallen figures of his three students, they were getting better. Not quite ready to survive the hell that was war, but they were getting better. Naruto wasn't even sure that he would ever feel that his Genin were ready to face war, he had gotten far too attached to them to even want to consider them put onto a battlefield. Naruto knew the horror of war, the third shinobi war was coming, the blond knew that, Naruto just hoped that he had a bit longer before he had to put his students to the test in that hell.
The blond picked Kushina up in a bridal carry while creating two clones for Nawaki and Mikoto. Naruto took to the trees, jumping back towards the entrance to training ground five, Konoha, the blond hadn't really spent much time around the village. He was always either training to improve his own skills, training his Genin or taking missions. Besides he knew the layout and the families well enough that Naruto didn't really need to spend much time inside Konoha.
The Naruto's laid his Genin team down of the soft grass at the entrance to the training blond sighed, they did good. Nawaki had a good feeling for Ninjutsu and was above average at Taijutsu, though he did need to learn not to rely on his clans forms so much. Things like that would make him overspecialized and ridged, like the Hyuuga, Naruto would not let that happen to one of his students. Next was Mikoto, the girl showed a strong aptitude for Ninjutsu, then again that was something he expected from an Uchiha, but also for Genjutsu. Naruto couldn't use Genjutsu though he could break just about all of them, so the blond really wasn't much help there. He had made a mental not to ask around the village for a Genjutsu user so he could ask them to train Mikoto, but Naruto wanted to get her above the Genin norm first.
Finally there was Kushina, the red head was definitely not a Ninjutsu user. It wasn't that she was bad at using Ninjutsu per-say, but rather that in comparison to her other strengths her talent with Ninjutsu was negligible at best. Not that Naruto hadn't pounded the basics of several Jutsu into the Uzumaki's head, Kushina may have not held a great amount of talent for the art. But Naruto would not let her neglect her training in the art just because of that. That being said the girl's aptitude for Tai and Ken Jutsu was amazing; in addition to that the red head was always getting better with those chains of hers. Naruto had not yet started teaching Kushina the art of the sword in earnest just yet, preferring to bring her other forms up to scratch first, that being said what he saw when he did train her was amazing. The girl was a wonder with a sword just waiting to be discovered, Naruto guessed that was something he had inherited from his mother, a love of blade work.
The blond looked up at the sky and sighed, it had been almost two months since his match against Kouken and since then the Uchiha clan would not leave him alone. They were trying, and quite desperately, to get Naruto under their thumb. Trying everything from bribing him to offering marriage contracts, at one point a contract for Mikoto herself was offered to the blond, hell the Uchiha clan offered to adopt him as one of their own. Naturally Naruto turned them down, he was an Uzumaki to the bone even if he wasn't using the name, he would not be joining another clan unless it was by marriage and even then it would not be for a political marriage. His students had also not stopped hounding him over the Rasengan, Naruto knew he shouldn't have used the attack. After all his father had been made famous for creating it along with the Hiraishin no Jutsu, Naruto really hoped he hadn't screwed up the time line too badly with that little stunt. Though knowing that because of his luck, that was probably a vain hope.
He looked down at his Genin, they were ready. While he had been working the group's basic skills and team work over the last two months, that wasn't all he was doing. Every now and then Naruto would throw something different at the three, such as a lesson in Fuinjutsu or Kenjutsu. Just to see the kind of aptitude the Genin had in that area, any time they excelled Naruto filed it away so he could teach them later. Now that they had the basics and team work above Genin level Naruto was ready to start teaching them some new skills, the blond knew that Nawaki and Mikoto's families were teaching them on the side, so the blond planned to pay some more attention to Kushina. Not that he would neglect their training only that Naruto would allow a little more freedom to Kushina in what she learned, for example. When the members of his Genin team met they did so every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The other two days they had off, Naruto knew for a fact that Mikoto and Nawaki's families trained them in their family arts on these days, Naruto would extend the same offer to Kushina. Since there were no Uzumaki in Konoha besides her Naruto would offer the red head some extra training on the days off so that she wouldn't feel left behind when the Uchiha and Senju started upping Mikoto and Nawaki's training in the clan's arts. Something that Naruto suspected they would do soon as the two were starting to show a lot of growth as ninja and as people.
The blond heard a groan and looked down as Nawaki woke up. "What the hell hit me?" The Senju heir asked blearily, Naruto smiled, the Senju reminded him a lot of himself when he was younger. He had reflected on that in privet once, he suspected it was that resemblance that had gotten Tsunade to come back to Konoha.
"That would be me Nawaki-kun." Naruto said smiling down at the brown haired boy. Who looked at Naruto for a second before sighing.
"Knocked us unconscious again eh sensei." The Senju said with a small chuckle, this was how all their spars ended after all. Rather than try to beat the blond the three Genin used it as a test to see how long they could survive for.
Naruto nodded at the Genin's statement, before smiling at his young charge. "You guys did really well, two months ago you couldn't last more than ten mintues against me at that level now your up to forty five." Naruto said prising the Senju heir and his team mate's, who were still unconscious.
Nawaki blushed slightly under the blonds praise, Naruto always gave praise where it was due, but never when it wasn't earned. "Ah but we still can't beat you now can we sensei." Nawaki replied smiling at the blond.
Naruto shrugged and gave a mischievous grin in return. "I wouldn't be much of a Jonin if I couldn't take down three Genin Nawaki-kun, clan heirs or not." Naruto pointed out, the Senju cocked his head to the side for a second before nodding, the blond had a good point.
"Sooo thought about teaching us that Rasengan yet?" Nawaki asked innocently, Naruto chuckled. Before bopping the Senju on the head lightly, after displaying the attack all three of them had wanted to learn it. Hell he had other Jonin coming and asking if they could trade some of their own Jutsu in exchange for learning it, hell the Hyuuga had offered him marriage contract. Naturally Naruto turned them all down and went to Sarutobi and had the Jutsu registered as a personal Jutsu so that anyone caught copying it would be dealt with severely, not that Naruto was too worried about someone figuring out the Rasengan. The attack was just shape manipulation taken to its highest possible level after all, making it all but impossible to copy unless you already knew it's inner-workings, something Naruto was in no hurry to share. But something he was worried about some people making bastardised versions of the attack, which was something the blond would not tolerate.
"Not yet Nawaki-kun, maybe one day."
"But sensei that's what you always tell me." The Senju pouted as his attempt to gain the awesome Jutsu failed miserably, just like all Kushina, Mikoto and his previous attempts did.
Naruto sighed and laid back on the grass sighing, those three had come a long way. Hell they had even completed another twelve C rank missions, no D ranks. He had to go through that hell himself and would not make his Genin do so, though the temptation to see the looks of despair on their faces as they found out they had to clean kennels for the Inuzuka, or some such, was oh so tempting. He saw a hawk flying above and was instantly on alert, the bird let out three harsh cries and flew away, Naruto stood up and looked at Nawaki. "Nawaki-kun please tell Kushina and Mikoto they can go home when they wake up. I have something I have to take care of." Naruto said walking off.
"Did it have something to do with that hawk?" Nawaki asked, wondering if it was some kind of signal.
Naruto snorted, but on the inside he praised his student for his sharp intellect. "Hell no." Naruto dead paned to Nawaki, before smiling with a perverse grin on his face. "Today is the day the new Icha Icha comes out." Naruto stated drooling, before disappearing in a shunshin, not hearing Nawaki's grumble about stupid pervy sensei's.

The blond reappeared inside the Hokage tower lobby, his face in a pure business expression as he walked towards the Sandaime's office. The door was opened by an ANBU, Naruto nodded his thanks, the ANBU dipped his head in return. It was nice to see someone at least acknowledge that he had done something, most just ignored the ANBU when they did things like that. Naruto walked inside seeing the other Jonin present, he did note Hatake Sakumo, Tsunade Senju and Jiraiya. Three legends in one place, Naruto made a mental note to keep a close eye on Sakumo once Kakashi was born, he would make sure his white haired sensei kept his father this time around.
The Sandaime scanned the room, almost all his Jonin were here. His eyes fell on Naruto, the boy really was an enigma. That technique he used the Rasengan was incredible and he cared for his students before anything else. Yet he never walked around Konoha or got to know its people, but seemed to care for the village, but, how could the young man care if he didn't know the people? The Sandaime shook his head to clear it of his thoughts; he needed to focus right now. Hiruzen looked around the room again, yes all of the Jonin sensei's were here he could start his announcement, the others it didn't really affect, they could be told later.
"Thank you for coming." Hiruzen stated, his eyes surveying the room again. "As you all may know in six months the biannual Chunin exams will be held in Konoha."
Naruto's mind shut down, what the hell was going on? The Chunin exams weren't put into practice until after the third shinobi war. Naruto knew that as fact, Jiraiya had at least pounded some basic history into his head. He would need to consult with Akane about this, this changed everything. If his knowledge of the time line was this far out, who knows what else had been changed.
The Sandaime continued and Naruto shook his thoughts off and paid attention. "I would like the Jonin sensei's of all teams to come forward and please state if you will or will not be nominating your teams." Naruto, Jiriaya, Tsunade and several others stepped forward. Naruto ignored the first three but started paying attention again when he saw Tsunade step forward.
"I Senju Tsunade Jonin of Konoha do here by nominate Uchiha Teyaki, Junishi Ami and Kon of team four for the Chunin exam's as their Jonin sensei." Tsunade said confidently before stepping back in line, Naruto wondered why Tsunade had an Uchiha as a student. After what Kouken had said he honestly didn't think that he would let anyone but an Uchiha train his clan members. Then again Tsunade was a member of the Densetsu no Sannin, proud bastard probably made an exception and allowed her the honour of teaching an Uchiha or some such. Naruto sighed and stepped forward feeling all eyes on him.
The blond sighed, what can he do, on one hand letting his team into the exams would be a great way for them to gauge how strong they were and how far they had to go. On the other hand they would be indisposed for a few days and miss out on training, more importantly they could die and he would not be there to save them this time. Naruto sighed he knew what he was going to do, Kushina, Mikoto and Nawaki would kill him if he didn't nominate them. Man he wasn't even Kushina or Mikoto's boyfriend and he already felt whipped, now he knew what Shikamaru felt like when Naruto teased him about his relationship with Tenmari. Naruto took a deep breath. "I Narukami Naruto Jonin of Uzugakure do here by nominate Senju Nawaki, Uchiha Mikoto and Uzumaki Kushina of team five for the Chunin exam's as their Jonin sensei." Naruto stated drawing gasps from around the room. He sighed, was this how Kakashi felt when he nominated them as rookies. Geez you'd think that someone who could easily take apart an A ranked ninja like Kouken, would have their judgement trusted but no.
Tsunade rounded on the blond grasping the front of his vest. "What did you just say?" The blond asked in a low tone, Naruto just looked at her impassively.
"I said I nominate my team for the Chunin exam's Senju-san, do you have a problem with that?" Naruto asked coldly, Tsunade looked at him fire in her eyes.
"They only just graduated, they are not ready for something like this. Don't you get it they could possibly die?" Tsunade practically spat in Naruto's face, who still looked impassive.
"Are you done?" The blond asked his voice cold enough to turn water to ice.
Tsundae looked at him taken back for a second before her rage returned full force. "Hell no I'm not done, I am not letting my little brother go off and get himself killed for your pride." Tsunade snarled at the blond, Naruto placed his hand next to his kunai pouch something all the Jonin noted and tensed.
"Senju get your hands off me before I remove them from you." Naruto hissed at Tsunade who seemed startled by his anger, enough so that she let go of his vest. "The moment that your little brother put on that Hitai-ate he so proudly wears he became an adult. He can drink, smoke, have sex and die for his home because he wears that Hitai-ate. More importantly when he put on that Hitai-ate he became my soldier, this is not a clan affair nor is it something YOU have any control overIam his Jonin sensei notYOUTsunade." Naruto finished and turned back to Hiruzen who looked a little taken back by the whole scene. "As I said Hokage-sama I would like to nominate team five for the exams." The aging Hokage nodded, Naruto's anger faded. The blond would admit that Tsunade's anger was reasonable, but he hated seeing people underestimating his student's. They had worked hard dammit and he would be damned if he just let other people, even if they were family, talk about his students when they had no idea of their full capabilities.
Naruto tuned out as they started nominating teams again, before turning back in when Jiraiya stepped forward. "I Jiraiya Jonin of Konoha do here by nominate Namikaze Minato, Hyuga Hiashi and Inuzuka Tsume of team seven for the Chunin exam's as their Jonin sensei." The white haired man finished and stepped back, Naruto was about to tune out again when he heard a whisper from behind him.
"Figures the Namikaze clan would have their golden boy put in the exam's, wonder how he'll do?" came the light voice of a Jonin from behind him. Naruto's mind stopped again, Namikaze clan? His father wasn't part of a clan only his mother was, what the hell was going on here, was it the time line that was out or was it something else? No it couldn't be the time line, even if the time line was out a little time wouldn't affect clan status, actually no it could. But his father was an orphan not a clan member and no clan called Namikaze had ever existed to his knowledge, so that just left one other option. The Kamui hadn't sent him through time but rather through dimensions. Well it wasn't like he hadn't thought that it was a possibility, still with the way everything had been going so far Naruto had just assumed he had been sent through time instead. The blond gulped, he needed to talk to Akane about this and fast.
Naruto's was pulled out of his thoughts as Hiruzen started to speak again. "Very well then teams four, five and seven will be entered into this year's Chunin exams. The exams start in six months have your Genin ready by then, the forms for enrolment can be collected any time from now until a day before the exams, you are free to leave." The Jonin's nodded as one, Tsunade turned to give Naruto another piece of her mind but found only leafs dropping to the floor as the blond exited via shunshin. Naruto figured he could pick up the forms tomorrow; right now he needed to speak to Akane and the faster the better.

Kushina walked through the front door of her apartment, it wasn't a large affair. Combined kitchen living and dining, a single bathroom and her bedroom, compared to what she had lived in when she was in Uzu it was small. Not that Kushina minded, at least there was no wasted space, the red head sighed as she collapsed down on her couch. That training session was beyond tiring, then again they always were. Naruto would push them to their breaking point then back off, then push them to it again and again, forcing them to improve faster and faster.
The blond was a slave driver when it came to training, even though he occasionally said he was a bad teacher. Kushina didn't believe that for a second, every lesson was easy to understand, then he expanded upon it let them ask questions and explained what they didn't understand, before summarizing the lesson. All the time a monologue was running, when fighting 'dodge then counter' if they were sneaking 'embrace the shadows, see but don't be seen' for Jutsu 'feel the flow of the chakra and direct it, never try to use a technique you don't understand.' and so on. The man really did make his lessons stick, no matter what.
Then there was what he focused on when they trained. Kushina was far from a stupid girl, no one would ever call her a genius, but she was no fool. When they had first graduated the academy Mikoto, Nawaki and her had been somewhere between mid to high Genin level, now they were somewhere between low to mid Chunin level. The blond had quite literally pounded the basics into them, the moment he found even the slightest deficiency they were drilled on it until it was perfect. Be the problem in strategy, battlefield tactics, Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, hell even Fuinjutsu or Assassination were drilled until their basics were perfect.
But for all his training Kushina had to ask one question about Naruto, why? None of the other Genin teams were training even half as hard as they were. Sure she could just put that down to him being a training manic but it felt like something more, Kushina had always trusted her instincts and right now they were telling her there was more to her, hell the entire teams, training the Naruto was letting on. Her musing was broken by a knock on the door dragging her exhausted body to the door she flung it open, this had better be good or else someone was going to be in pain. Kushina's eyes widened in shock when the blond whom her thoughts had just been on, stood there with a serious look on his face. "Hi sensei, what can I do for you?" Kushina asked nervously, she felt a blush creep up her face, damn these hormones.
Naruto looked distracted as he looked at his student. "Good afternoon Kushina, tomorrow's rest day has been cancelled please meet me at training ground five at six am tomorrow." Kushina nodded and Naruto smiled down at the girl, "Make sure to take care of yourself and eat well before you arrive tomorrow it's going to be a big day." Kushian nodded again.
"Thanks sensei." The red head said as brightly as she could in such an exhausted state. "I'll see you tomorrow then, but I have to ask what the emergency is?"
Naruto just chuckled. "You'll find out when you get there" the blond stated cryptically, before turning to walk away. "You have a nice night Kushi-chan" Naruto said walking away towards the stairs and to his apartment on the level above this one.
"See yah later sensei." The Uzumaki called out to the retreating back of the blond who just waved over his shoulder. Naruto heard the door close and felt a little bit of nostalgia as he climbed the stairs to his apartment, it seemed even when he was a child his mother had been closer to him than he thought. After all the apartment that Kushina was living in now was the same one that the third had given Naruto when the orphanage tried to throw him out.

Naruto sat in the centre of his apartment eyes closed in the lotus position, his breathing slow and controlled. He focused on the feeling deep inside him and allowed himself to be drawn in, he felt his consciousness slipping away to somewhere else, the blond opened his eyes the warm noonday sun warming his body. Naruto sighed; the area inside his mind was dense woodland. The warm sun over head and a clear lake nearby, the blond walked forward towards the small cottage at the centre of the clearing. Sure he could have made it someplace different but Akane had told him she actually preferred not being in her gigantic demon fox form. So she got a cottage in the middle of a clearing instead, Naruto knocked on the door, sure he could just walk in, but he kind of wanted to live.
The door swung open revealing a rather sleepy looking red head. Long and unruly hair that reached her lower back and was ruffled by her just getting out of bed, red eyes with no slit, pale skin, a tribal tattoo that stretched from her left ankle to right shoulder marking everything in between with a flowing and interlocking web of ink. The woman had long legs and round hips, her breasts were on the smaller side looking at around a B cup but it really just added to her allure, crimson red lipstick her rather pronounced canine teeth just showing. "Huh? Naru-chan? What are you doing here?" Akane asked sleepily, Naruto debated coming back later, after all Akane enjoyed her sleep. However this really was too important to wait.
"Sorry for waking you up Akane-chan but would you mind if I came in?" Naruto asked, Akane moved aside and gestured for Naruto to come in.
"That's fine Naru-chan, I'll put on some tea." Naruto just nodded, Akane had been very abrasive when they first met, but after seventeen years together they eventually managed to work something out.
Akane came back a few minutes later holding a tea cup and setting it down in front of the blond Uzumaki. "So Naru-chan what did you need?" Akane asked still looking like she wanted to go back to bed, Naruto sipped the tea for a second before sighing. He told her everything from the fact they were probably in a different dimension to that he was no longer sure how accurate their information was any more.
The demoness slowly looked more and more awake as Naruto explained. If that was because she was waking up or the subject matter was so important it made her wake up Naruto couldn't tell. The demoness look at him for a few minutes after he finished. "We need to plan our next move." Akane said seriously.
Naruto leaned back into the chair he was sitting on. "I'm all ears"

Naruto dropped in front of his Genin team, the three of him looking up at him curiously. "First things first I've entered you in the Chunin exams." Naruto stated, the three Genin just looked at him for about a second before Naruto was glomped by a red blur and a black blur. Kushina and Mikoto thanking him repeatedly while Nawaki just grinned like a mad man. After spending the next five minutes prying his team off him Naruto looked at each of them for a second. "This means naturally that I will be picking up your training as well." The three looked at him in horror when he said that, Naruto didn't even bother to acknowledge them and instead brought out three pieces of paper from his pouch. "Do any of you know what these are?" Naruto questioned, getting blank looks from his Genin in return. "This is chakra paper, I'm going to have you guys channel your chakra into it to find out what your elemental affinity is. If it burns it's fire, crumbles earth, crinkles lightning, gets wet water or splits then it's wind." Naruto finished his impromptu lecture and handed out the paper.
Giving the first one to Nawaki, the Senju channelled his chakra into the paper and promptly yelped and dropped it as it burst into flames. Naruto smiled a fire type which was good. Naruto was better at both wind and lightning but fire came in as a close third. He handed the second piece to Mikoto who sighed, all Uchiha were fire types after all, and those who weren't, were an embarrassment to the clan. She channeled her chakra and felt her mouth go dry, the paper crinkled. She was not attuned to fire but lightning, no, no, this could not be happening Mikoto started to hyperventilate. Kushian shook her friend back into the world of the living. "Mikoto what's wrong?" Kushina asked concerned, Mikoto got her breathing back under control.
"S-S-Sensei could I please have another piece of paper please. " Naruto nodded and handed her another, Mikoto channelled her chakra again, the paper crinkled. Tears began gathering in the Uchiha's eyes, Naruto wiped them away causing the girl to look up at her sensei who looked down at her with something approaching sorrow in his eyes.
"What's wrong Mikoto-chan?" Naruto asked concerned for his student.
The girl started to tear up. "I'm attuned to lighting" the girl said simply. Naruto still couldn't see the problem. "The Uchiha are fire users, to be otherwise is an embarrassment to the clan." Mikoto repeated the words that had been told to her by her tutors. Naruto shook her a little and forced the girl to look at him and Naruto smiled down at her.
"Well if you think you're an embarrassment to the clan, I'm a wind user." Naruto said in a joking tone, Mikoto looked affronted.
"But sensei that might be fine for you your not an Uchiha, but for me, they might discard me, throw me out unless I prove to be better than a fire user. I know your just trying to make me feel better but please don't say things like that." Mikoto finished, Naruto sighed looking down at Mikoto. He really hadn't wanted to tell them, at least not like this.
Naruto looked sternly at his three Genin. "What you are about to see will be told to no one unless I expressly give you permission am I clear?" The blond said, gaining a startled chorus of 'yes' from his three Genin. Naruto closed his eyes, when he opened them again they were no longer the deep ocean blue the three were used to, in there place were two crimson irises slowly being circled by three tome.
Naruto looked down at the two stunned Genin and a smug looking Kushina. "Sensei y-your eyes" Mikoto pointed out lightly. Naruto hugged the girl.
"See if you're talking about outcasts in the Uchiha clan then you really couldn't be in better company." Naruto said in a cheerful voice, smiling down at the girl who just nodded dumbly.
Naruto turned his attention to Kushina who channeled her chakra to the paper, which split in half. Naruto couldn't resist the smile that formed on his face. It was like this team was made for him a fire, lightning and a wind user, his three best elements. "Now then we are having a training session today it's about six thirty now and our training session will last until seventeen hundred understand?" The three nodded and Naruto channeled a small amount of chakra into a seal on his right arm a katana dropping into his waiting hand. "You have only one objective, survive." With those words Naruto charged the three Genin.
