Shinobi Through The Ages

Got some private messages requesting the explanation of how Hitaro used a banana, paper clip, chicken blood, and alot of blackmail to get Umi into academy :3 Find out a the end of this chapter.

Shija Naka, Konan Yokan, and Alison James. These 3 had been friends since birth, their families shared a similar bond as the Nara-Akimichi-Yamanaka clans with much less fame of course. Shija Naka, slightly shorter than average, black hair messy (much like obito's hair) a mixed complexion skin tone, wearing dark green shorts and a grey shirt.

Shija looked up as he noticed the kid who'd been looking at them suddenly show the most emotion he'd seen from him in the time he'd been watching Shija and his friends. Grunting a bit to get the girls attention he nods in the kids direction and drawls lazily "our shadow looks happy and I don't like it, troublesome enough to warrant checking"

Konan Yokan laughs at him. She's a dark blue haired girl, the tallest of all 3, she has dark skin similar to Umi's, she wears glasses and her hair is a hime cut, she wears mixed grey and white long sleeve shirts and pants. "You're so fake Shija you just want a chance to ask him how he watched us so long without you noticing"

Alison James simply looked over and kept her face impassive choosing not to respond. She is of average height, blonde haired and tan skinned, her family is foreign obviously and her hair follows that trend as she puts it up in a pony tail. Alison ignored their sidechat and left them behind as she started walking toward Umi and Hitaro, the others quickly followed.

Hitaro noticed the 3 approaching and wondered if Umi had stumbled upon some friends at last. 'These would be the first' he thought smirking slightly.

"Pencils, paper, notebooks, new clothes, gear, backpack" Umi was verbally listing everything he'd need to stea- obtain legally for his new role at the academy.

Alison and Shija stood behind Umi with Konan next to him, she reached to tap his shoulder and gain his attention. Upon feeling her hand he grabbed it and yanked her forward twisting his shoulder under her arm and causing Konan to flip onto the ground faceup as he crouched over her. All traces of his earlier excitement gone he stared at her coldly as if waiting for an explanation.

During the attack- retaliation- ..altercation Alison and Shija had stepped to either side of Umi and had attempted to grab him before Hitaro picked them up by the scruffs of their shirts. "Let go of me you awkwardly strong weirdo" grumbled Shija, Alison quickly followed suit "You're clearly a pedophile in this situation I'll scream!" He smiled with both his mouth and eyes (^-^) as they struggled and slung curses his way.

Ignoring all 3 of them Umi was in full panic mode, he'd just judo flipped one of the kids he'd been wanting to be friends with and had no idea what to do next. 'What if they hate me now?' 'Oh god is she hurt?' 'Shit shit the blonde one looks pissed' The thoughts swirled around his head as he held the blue haired girl down out of instinct.

Konan had been extremely surprised to find herself on her back with the wind knocked out of her after she'd tapped the boys shoulder, and at first his cold stare had scared her. However the longer she looked the more she noticed he seemed to be extremely nervous rather than angry and she decided to try to calm everyone down. Konan smiled widely up at Umi "umm I didn't think this through at all can I try again?"

Shija and Alison stopped struggling and stared at their friend with the generic "What the fuck" face, Hitaro let them go and watched Umi to see how he'd handle it. This is the longest interaction he'd ever had with kids his age before after all.

Umi was shell shocked, nodding dumbly he got off of her and offered his hand to help her up. Konan took it and thanked him quickly. Umi shook his head firmly as if to clear it and made his decision. "Hey, don't go sneaking up on trained shinobi next time kid you'll actually get hurt" Umi said coldly looking at Konan.

Shija walked over to Konan and made sure she was okay before scowling at Umi "You call attacking an innocent kid "trained" I guess killing her would be mastered huh?"

Konan cringed a little and tried to defuse the situation "It's okay he was just warning me not to surprise people"

Alison was annoyed with all of them seeing the chance of making a new friend fall "Konan let's go, these 2 are clearly having a macho moment, not to mention that jerk might've made you bruise"

Umi continued glaring at the 3 of them until Konan and Alison left, at which point Shija clicked his tongue and turned away "if this is how you treat people then no wonder everyone hates you" he says out of pure spite.

On the outside Umi was unphased by all of this and walked off just as quickly, he was refusing to regret his decision knowing he'd made the right one. The moment those 3 had come over he'd immediately realized his dream of having friends was too far-fetched. They were too normal, their whole body language screamed innocence. However it was the girl that sealed it, she forgave him too easily, he realized he would never be quite as normal as them and decided to push them away.

Hitaro having expected this simply sighed and silently cursed the Raikage and the Ketsuyagan leader. He hoped Umi would only be mentally hurting himself this time.

****Omake****

Hitaro cackled evily as he looked at the headmaster of the villages shinobi academy. was tied to his chair, however this was the most normal and least problematic condition of his situation. He was pressing all of his weight towards his left causing the chair to lean that direction slightly because under his chairs left hind leg was a banana. Were this banana crushed it would cause the paper clip next to it to fall over, doesn't seem horrible.

But...THE PAPER CLIP WAS BALANCED SO PERFECTLY, that it was steadying a string, which lead to the handle of a bucket of chicken blood placed directly over his wife who was also tied up in the corner.

Once again...doesn't seem too bad, what would chicken blood do anyway? :D

His wife is allergic to chickens, throughout her childhood no one could figure it out, even chicken grease from rice cooked in a pan also used for chicken would cause her lungs to collapse and her breathing to restrict severely.

Hitaro smiled into face as he pleaded for his wifes life. "All you have to do is accept the child , is it really that hard?"

-wright shook his head vehemently "I'd rather die than betray my Kage's orders"

Hitaro shrugged and moved to the left side of , placing his hands on his shoulder. "On the count of 5 I'm going to push you and squash that banana"

screamed in fear and finally cracked, agreeing to Hitaro's terms he signed the papers for Umi's acceptance.

However before he left Hitaro said one last thing. "I know your son is allergic to chocolate :)"
