Rene-Phoenix of the Uchiha

Chapter 4

Rene made his way to the academy, for today was the day of team placements. Where the genins that passed would meet their sensei's and teammates. For some this day was met with fear, or excitement, Rene felt a little arrogant, because of his "talk" with the Hokage he knew what the teams where going to be. Most of them he didn't care about, but the ones Rene had a hand in making, he knew they would achieve greatness and that was his goal. So it was with a big smile that Rene entered the academy, only to run into an extremely angry Ino.

"RENE UCHIHA! How dare you not come to my graduation party, because you were training with Naruto? I thought you were doing something a little more important than that. "
He was caught by surprise, "Training?" He took a quick look at Naruto who gave him an embarrassed grin. That was the cover story for last night; Rene gave a quick smile to say he understood. Unfortunately Ino took that smile as something else,

"You find this funny, while I thought seven years of friendship meant more to you than a laugh."

Rene placed his hands on her shoulders. "Ino I'm sorry, I did train with Naruto, but that was after I went to visit my mother okay? I had to work through some things ." This wasn't a total lie, after seeing the Hokage he did go to mother's grave to talk to her. He was just changing the sequence of events. Ino had the foresight to look embarrassed. Rene gave a gentle smile, "Tell you what, after our team meetings today well go shopping for new ninja clothes and weapons ? I'll even ask Naruto and Hinata to join us, and I'll pay for everything. Am I forgiven?"

Ino gave him a big hug as she said yes, then she whispered in his ear, "She's proud of you. You know that right?" Rene just nodded.

They made their way to where Sakura was sitting, and as he sat down in-between Ino and Sakura, Sakura took his hand and gently squeezed it, and gave a small smile which he returned. A few moments later Iruka appeared and began his end of the year speech, "It has been my privilege to teach, each and every one of you. Some have been harder than others. (His gaze shifted to Naruto) but in the end I believe every one of you have the potential to be great ninja. Now to the teams." Team 1-6 weren't very special and Rene ignored them. It was when Iruka got to team seven is when things got interesting, "Due to certain conditions" there will not be a team seven this year but instead we will move to team eight which will be, Naruto Uzumaki, Hinata Hyuga, and Shino Aburame. Under the command of Kurenai Yuhi. Team nine is still active so we will move on to team ten which is Kiba Inuzuka, Shikamaru Nara, and Choji Akimichi. Under the command of Asuma Sarutobi. Team 11 is Rene Uchiha, Ino Yamanaka, and Sakura Haruno. Under the command of Anko Mitarashi. Sasuke Uchiha as rookie of the year you a special privilege, you are to be apprenticed to Kakashi Hatake for a time until he either ejects you out of the ninja program or you prove to worthy of the rank of Chuunin. You are dismissed." As he walked out Rene saw his cousin give a smirk of superiority. That will keep you out of the way for a while cousin. As teams eight and eleven walked out of the classroom, Naruto was fuming on how Sasuke got special treatment. Rene sighed, "Naruto before you started training with us how good were you honestly." Naruto gave an embarrassed smile. "Exactly, you got stronger by working with others. Not to say that training alone can't help, but it does help to have someone tell you what you are doing wrong, and test your strength against, as well as giving encouragement. All of us now have teammates and sensei's to help. Sasuke only has a sensei and from what I have heard, he may not be the most reliable. Another big part of growth is the goal you set. Take you for example you want to be Hokage, which is a lifelong goal. What's good about it is it gives you direction and you can set up little goals for it like becoming a Chuunin, which keeps you motivated. Now take my cousin his only goal is killing his brother Itachi for what he did to the clan. It's shortsighted and foolish, shortsighted because he has nothing planned after, and foolish because Itachi was not only a prodigy but of the strongest Uchiha. Sasuke acts as if Itachi has just sat around the last six years waiting for Sasuke to kill him. But knowing Itachi he has only gotten stronger, and as he is now Sasuke will never catch up to him."

"Do you want to kill him?" Shino asked as the rest of them jumped a bit forgetting that he was there.

Rene got a somber look on his face. "No Shino I don't, I don't want to kill anyone unless I have to. That is not saying that if I met him I wouldn't try. He is a traitor to the village so I am duty bound to at least try to kill him. He also did nearly wiped out a clan which is horrible, but if I did kill him it would be because of what he did not who he did it too." Team eight gave a confused look. Rene sighed, "The Uchiha clan treated me and my mother like dirt because my father wasn't an Uchiha. We were cut off from the rest of the clan. The truth is the day Itachi killed the clan was the day I was set free, and was able to finally start on the path of becoming a ninja." It was silent as the others digested his words. Rene smiled "But enough of that sad stuff Naruto, Hinata, Shino, do you want to join us in a little shopping spree, of ninja clothes and weapons." They all agreed. "Okay after your team meeting head to the center of the village square." Again they all agreed and headed back to class to wait for their sensei's.

They didn't have to wait long, because as soon as they entered the seemly empty classroom. A kunai was speeding toward them; Rene deflected by throwing kunai and drew his sword, as Ino and Sakura got in defenses stances with a kunai in each hand. Hinata had entered the gentle fist stance with her Byakugan active, Naruto had summoned six shadow clones, and even Shino had his coat buzzing full of insect's ready for a fight. All of this happened in a matter of moments

A loud female laugh echoed through the classroom, "Oh Kurenai-chan I think we got some good ones." The voice said as a woman in her mid-twenties appeared out of the wall; she had pupilless eyes and purple spiky hair, and wore a trench coat with fishnets covering her body.

"Yes, I agree their response time was good for their age, but I am a little disappointed that they couldn't detect a simple camouflage Genjutsu."

"Who said we didn't" a voice whispered in her ear and felt a sword in her back. Kurenai turned around and saw a copy of Rene smiling back at her instead of the kunai that ha d been on the ground. Then the copy popped out of existence. She turned to Rene.

He was smirking, "Naruto taught me that one, combining shadow clones with henge, it is quite impressive and works well. But it is annoying as hell when you are fighting someone who can do it. Right Naruto?" Naruto puffed out his chest in pride, and Rene smiled.

Anko was laughing now, "I really like this one."

Kurenai frowned, "Well any way Team 8 I am Kurenai Yuhi now if you would please follow me. Naruto and Hinata gave Team 11 a smile and Shino gave a nod as they left.

They turned to Anko, "Well my name is Anko Mitarashi and you kids have two minutes to get to Training Ground 11 before I feed you to my snakes. " She then disappeared.

"Is she serious?" Sakura asked

"I don't want to find out, let's get there double time." Ino said. All three raced to the training ground

When they arrived Anko was sitting on a stump eating a stick of dango. As all three arrived at the training ground she looked at a stop watch. "1 minute 45 seconds, not bad it seems my snakes will go hungry. Now sit down and tell me about yourselves, you know hopes, dreams that stuff. You pinkie start." Anko said as she pulled out another stick of dango and started eating.

"My name is Sakura Haruno, I like reading, training, and hanging out with my friends. My goal is to become a medical ninja."
"So we have a mini- Tsunade. You next blondie."

"My name is Ino Yamanaka, I like training, and flower pressing as well as hanging out Rene-Kun. My goal is become a great interrogator like my dad."

"Well, I guess you can come see me at work sometime. Now what about you tricky."

"My name is Rene Uchiha, I like training and hanging out with my friends. My dream is to rebuild the Uchiha clan in my own image, and help my friends achieve their own dreams."

"Rebuilding a clan huh?"
"Do you want to help sensei? You are a little old for me, but having the snake contract could be helpful. But unfortunately compared to the two goddess sitting next to me, you are as ugly as a hag." Ino and Sakura where blushing, but also fearing what Anko would do to Rene.

Anko licked her lips like a snake as it made eye contact with its prey, "You cheeky little brat, I'll make you pay for that remark."

"You can certainly try." Rene said with a smile.

"Any way, my name is Anko Mitarashi, I like interrogation, hanging out with Kurenai-chan, dango, and putting brats in their place." Her gaze shifted to Rene who just smiled. "Well brats you aren't actually ninja yet, you have to pass my test. My test is, you have to hit me once. You have an hour so go!"

Rene started laughing and when he looked up Anko was met with his sharagian. "Sensei, we've already won." He leaped at her with his sword drawn. Only to have her disappear.

"Shadow Clone?" Ino asked

"No Replacement Justu, Sakura right, Ino left. We flank her the forest isn't that large."

They ran into the forest, and after a few mintues Rene caught sight of Anko.

"I see her, get behind me." He made hand signs. "Fire Style, Grand Fireball Justu!" he yelled as a fire about two feet wide and high came out his mouth and sailed toward Anko. The fireball exploded and trees around it were burnt and destroyed

"Do you think you got her?" Sakura asked

"No, but that's why I put explosive tags in her jacket." Rene made a hand seal

An explosion was heard off in the distance and from the smoke came an angry Anko clothed only in her fishnet yelled, "YOU BRAT THAT WAS MY FAVORITE JACKET!" and rushed at them.

"Wait" Rene said to Ino and Sakura who were getting into taijustu stances. Rene made another handseal.

Anko felt her body begin to feel heavy and she dropped to ground, she tried to move but she was frozen. Rene made his way over to her. "What the hell did you to me you brat?!"

Rene smiled, "Nothing sensei, nothing at all."

Then he began to melt away and Anko was back sitting on the stump and the rest of Team 11 was standing before her. She looked at them, "When the hell did you put me into a genjustu?"

"When you looked at my eyes during the introduction, I already had a genjustu over my active sharagian. It also wasn't just me, Ino and Sakura also had a genjustu going on you. If you had broken out of mine, you would have had to face theirs. Oh and buy the way sensei." He lightly tapped her in the arm, "We win." He finished with a gentle smile.

Anko sighed, "Fine you brats win, but now that I am officially your sensei I will train you into the ground. Got it. Now be here by 7am tomorrow or I will drag you out of bed in your underwear and throw you into the lake. Dismissed. "

Rene smiled, "Okay time to meet Team 8 let's go." The three teenagers left.

Later that night Anko was on her fifth helping of dango and sake when Kurenai came into the bar and sat down next to her.

"So did your team past Anko?" Kurenai asked

"Yeah the brats pasted yours?"

"Yeah they did well they will make a fine team. Any problems? I thought both girls weren't the best fighters."

Anko put her sake and half eaten dango down. "No, the girls are fine. Pinki wants to be a medic so I might see if I can get someone to make her an intern at the hospital. Blondie wants to be an interrogator which is no problem between me and her dad we have that covered. It's the damn Uchiha, he seems too good. He put me in a genjustu and was able to paralyze me." She said bitterly

"Well he does have the sharagian-" Kurenai started

"That's part of the damn problem!" Anko shouted slamming her fist down on the bar. "I was looking for it, and sneaky bastard had already put a genjustu over his eyes!"

"Anko, I'm not seeing what the problem is. It seems to me that you have a prodigy on your team how is that bad?"

Anko sighed, "He just reminds to much of Itachi, just with more personality. That makes me nervous."

"I wouldn't worry about it Anko, he's a good kid, who just wants to help his friends. Now if it were Sasuke then I would be worried." A voice next to them said. Both of them turned to see a man with gravity defying white hair, a mask covering his lower face, and his headband was covering his right eye. This was Kakashi Hatake.

As he sat down next to them Anko asked, "Do you really think that he's fine Kakashi?"

Kakashi waved her off, "Yeah he's fine he just wants to help his friends. Remember he was trained by Camilla Uchiha who was a mistress at planning. She was so good that Shikaku Nara would sometimes come to her to ask if there was any way to improve on his plans. Also he had seven years by himself to train. He also stole ANBU files for every active ninja about a year ago." Kakashi said the last sentence as if it was an afterthought.

"He broke into ANBU headquarters! Why aren't they after him?" Anko yelled.

"First Anko, it was just a base they use, and second he not only did it when Naruto was doing a prank so had a great distraction, and the information wasn't really secret or that important. In fact I think you could hear more important facts on the street then what is in those files. Also the ANBU were impressed. Some wanted to recruit him there and then. He was just doing what he was taught. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a plan thought up for meeting everyone. Any way the point is he is fine Anko." As he finished he went to grab an orange book from his back pocket.

"Kakashi if you open that book, I will put you in the genjustu with Gai wearing a speedo." Kurenai said. The book quickly returned to his pocket. "By the way Kakashi how is Sasuke doing?

Kakashi eye smiled. "He'll be fine after I beat that arrogance of his into the dirt."

"A round of drinks for me and my friends." Anko said. After the bartender came back with the drinks Anko gave a toast. "A toast to our students, may they not screw up and die!" The other two repeated the toast and downed their drinks. Anko drank hers slowly, even with Kaskashi's assurances she still couldn't get the thought out her mind. Who is Rene Uchiha and what is his plan?

Well that is the end of the chapter. First off don't worry not every fight will be a genjustu trap. I just feel that genjustu is very much underappreciated in the Naruto-verse. Plus with the sharagian it is just begging to be used. Next chapter shopping and Rene's meeting with the council. I have been wanting to write that for a while. I also want to see if you think I am making Rene too powerful. The last bit of info I would like to talk about is Rene's summon. I would like to thank TheRealDeal44 for reviewing and saying that wolfs would make a good summon for Rene. I am going let the choice go another week so if you any good idea what you think would be a good summon for Rene please review. Again thank you for the support.
