Caspian-The Lost Senju

Chapter 4

Today was the day that Caspian was going to start the academy, and as he and Tsuande stood in front of the building Caspian took a deep breath. It had not been a good night for him he had barely gotten any sleep. Sensing his discomfort Tsuande kneeled down to his level.

"I know it's hard, but remember how I told you the senju had to remain strong? Well this is one of these times. No one knows what happened to you and for right now it has to remain to that way. I hate it, but just have hold it together until later tonight okay?" She said with a sad smile.

Caspian hugged her and she felt a few tears wet her gi, "I love you Auntie." He whispered.

"I love you too." With one last smile Tsuande gave him a kiss on a cheek, his lunch and left.

Caspian took on more deep breath and entered the academy. He took a few seconds to look around the room, most of the kids look average, but Caspian recognized some of clan kids. There was one child from the Aburame, Hyuga, Akimichi, Inuzuka , Nara, Yamanaka, and Uchiha clans each. The only other person who caught his attention was a girl with pink hair sitting next to the Yamanaka girl; he was brought out of his thoughts by a shout near the front of the room.

"Hey brat!" Caspian looked toward the front of the class and saw Anko who was smirking.

"I'm going to be teaching you this year." She said

Caspian raised an eyebrow, "What can you teach me? I beat you." His voice was full of innocence.

With speed faster than his rank of chunin Iruka grabbed Anko and held her back from attacking Caspian. It took a few moments for Iruka to calm her down. During that time a few things happened. The first was that the kids sweat dropped at Anko, the second was some of the boys looked at Caspian in awe knowing that he had beat a chunin, Anko's outburst proved that it was true. The third thing was that some of the girls were looking at him ranging from blushes to hearts in their eyes thinking he was "cool" for beating a chunin level ninja. Yes it would take less than a day before the "Caspian Fan Club" was formed and the fan girls would start. How I pity the poor boy. But all of that was in the future in the present Caspian had spotted the blonde haired boy he had saved form the mob but as he started to walk over Iruka told them to find a seat, and all the seats close to the blonde haired boy were taken.
As Caspian sat down Iruka introduced himself and Anko and said that each student would introduce themselves. Caspian tuned them out and decided that he would meditate having missed his morning session. With a deep breath he began to feel the charka around him, most of the students felt normal and the only difference being the level of charka. It was when he started to focus on Anko that things took a turn. For the most part her charka felt normal expect for a part near her right shoulder, probing deeper it felt a bit that the charka of the trees and flowers. But it was twisted, quite frankly it felt evil. But a source of charka from the blond boy pulled his attention away from Anko. The boy's charka felt happy and energetic, but as he probed deeper the darker the charka got until all Caspian felt was anger and hate. He let the charka wash over him, and next noise he heard was the sound of dripping water. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a dark sewer. Getting up and pushing down the fear in chest Caspian started walking to the right. It was a minute later that he came upon a giant cage with a seal in the middle of it, as he got near a giant red eye appeared causing Caspian to fall. Soon the darkness left and what was left in its place was giant orange fox with nine-tails waving behind it.

It spoke and it's voice that of a growl and it held anger in it, "Who are you boy? You aren't my jailer. How did you get here?"

"My name is Caspian Senju and I felt your charka in the blonde boy and I guess it took me here?"

The fox looked at him, "Yes he is a senju I can feel that through his charka, but he isn't part of Hashirama's line, this charka feels different maybe he is part of the younger brothers line? How was he able to enter my jailer's mindscape? He must be a powerful sensor, but I also feel nature charka? Enough questions it's time I get answers." "Do you know who I am boy?" The fox asked.

"You are the Nine-Tails fox or the Kyūbi. You are one of nine tailed beasts or bijū that the Sage on Six paths created from the Tentails or Jūbi." Caspian replied

"Do you know when I was first sealed?"

Caspian nodded, "Madara Uchiha summoned you against Hashirama Senju during their battle at the Valley of the End, and Madara controlled you with his eyes. After Hashirama defeated his former friend fearing for the safety of the village he sealed you into his wife Mito Uzumaki."

The fox raised an eyebrow, "You are very well informed how do you those details?"

"I read them in my Granduncle's journal." He replied "So it that why people chase the boy? Because they think he is you?" The fox nodded. So that is what that dog ANBU meant. The people really are fools. A couple moments passed and Caspian got a smile on his face, "Hey I just thought of something, since the Senju are descended from the Sage of Six paths and since he created you that kind of makes us cousins. We're family." Caspian said happily.

The fox growled, "Family? Family doesn't lock away each other. Family don't use each other as pawn in their DAMN WARS! If we were family then why did he seal me into his wife, and then a young girl, and finally this ramen obsessed fool, if I was family why have I been locked away for close to a century? Answer that boy." The fox challenged.

While it had been speaking the fox's killer intent had been rising and by the time it was finished Caspian was shaking from the force of it. "Maybe he did it to protect you? I mean if one Uchiha could take control of you then it makes since that another one could as well. Since he couldn't force the Uchiha to leave without starting another war, he could of thought that it was safer for you to be kept safe in a human being. As for the other thing you said about being used in wars my mom once said that "Sometimes we hurt the people we loving trying to protect them." Caspian finished with a sad smile. The fox's anger cooled after what the boy had said. For so long his mind had been filled with hate for the humans who had sealed him away. He had been trapped for almost fifty years only to be freed and once again be controlled by a Uchiha. Then when he had control of himself again he was sealed into a helpless baby. He would always hate humans but the boy's words had hit a cord that he had never thought about, could this had been a way to protect him? The boy had earned his respect, the fox put it head down on his its paws, "You are a strange but wise young human." Were its only words. A few moments passed. "Cousin Fox can I touch your tails they look very soft?" Caspian asked. The fox shrugged and put a few of its tails past the bars. Caspian touched them and they were indeed soft, and he was so tried. Just before he used the fox's tails as a pillow the Kyubi informed him that it was his turn to speak to the class.

As Caspian began to think about the classroom he started to vanish but the last thing he heard the fox say was, "My jailor's name is Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki. Mine name is Kurama"

With that Caspian awoke back in class, with everyone staring at him. Some of the girls were evening talking about how cute he looked when he slept. Gathering his bearings Caspian asked, "Sorry what was the question?"

"Tell us your name, hobbies, and goal." Iruka said

"My name is Caspian Senju, and I like to read and train, and my dream to be a great senju clan head." He finished with a smile. As Iruka went to the next student Caspian looked at the boy whose name he know knew was Naruto Uzumaki. Uzumaki that was his Grand Aunt's last name that made him family too! Since the Nine-Tails he meant Kurama was sealed in him too that meant they were both family, and he would help them both. But how was the question? Then his eyes lit up, seals were the answer. Since Naruto was an Uzumaki he should be able to take to seals easily, he could give Naruto a starter sealing book and make him his friend, and if Caspian helped then they could find a way to unseal not only Kurama but the other tailed beasts as well and they could be one big happy family. Caspian smiled his plan it was simple but it could take a long time, but he would be patient. It took close to three months just to make to the Leaf, because he had to wait for other ninja to past him with his camouflage justu. Not only in the Mist but in the other villages as well. He sometimes had to wait a whole day in his camouflage justu before he could move again. Caspian decided he would start his plan tomorrow, but as his mind focused on what Iruka was saying about village history his eyes started to close, this time from boredom. It was going to be a long day.

While Caspian was sleeping through his first ever academy class, Tsuande had been called to the Hokage's tower. As she entered her former sensei's office she saw him staring out the window looking at the village. On his desk was a letter.

The Hokage turned toward his former student, "Early this morning I got a letter from the Tsuchikage. He said that the ninja was in fact a missing nin. The man was to be executed for killing too many civilians while in pursuit of a target, with wild justu use. He foolishly thought that if he captured or kill the young senju that it would get him in the good graces of the Tsuchikage. From what we have been able to "gather" from the prisoner the Kage's story checks out. The Tsuchikage gave us his blessing to kill the prisoner, but he wishes for an audience with you and Caspian. His terms are in a weeks' time he wishes to come to the village with only himself, two bodyguards and his own granddaughter Kurotsuchi. Since this involves yourself and your nephew I wish to get your thoughts on it." The Hokage finished.

Tsuande put her elbows on the table. This could easily turn into another war if it wasn't handled the right way, she honestly had no idea what to do. "What would you do sensei?" She asked

The aged Kage sat down, "I believe this is a chance to start to heal the wounds from the war. But we must take precautions. A few Hyuga watching over the gates to make sure any army isn't on top us is a good place to start, as well as having them watched 24/7 by ANBU."

"Do you really thing he would stage an invasion with his granddaughter here?" Tsuande asked

"You are underestimating how stubborn the Tsuchikage is and how deep his pain goes. During the Third Great Ninja war Minato killed many ninja with his "Flying Thunder God" justu one of them being the Tsuchikage's own son. The war has been over for well over a decade but wounds like that are slow to heal, if they ever do. But I think the pros out way the risks, if we can forge an alliance even if it is a temporary one the wounds of war can start to heal." He finished.

Tsuande nodded, "Well I trust you and the village, myself and Caspian will meet with the Tsuchikage just send us a time and place."

The Hokage nodded, "I have also called back Jiraiya, if there is an invasion I want our best ninja here to defend the village. I told him you would meet him at a bar in a day or so. Finally, Tsuande I am glad to see you happy once again. It seems young Caspian is a good influence on you." The old kage smiled.

"Yeah he is, he loves the library. It's only been a month and he's almost gone through half the books already. His training is going well, I estimate his speed is low to mid jonin, charka control is mid to high jonin, taijustu low jonin, and ninjustu high chunin. I think he may have actually created a justu, the Hissing Water Palm. It shoots water at the target, but before it hits it evaporates creating a mist. I think it would be classified as a mid to high C rank justu."

The Hokage raised an eyebrow, "The boy may be a prodigy Tsuande. Will you let him graduate early?"

She shook her head, "No I don't think so. From what I gathered he never had many friends, I think he needs friends, and having him graduates stops that." Tsuande said with a smile.

If Tsuande knew what Caspian had been doing to get a friend she would have been happy, maybe. Caspian had gotten tired of waiting and was just so bored at the academy, that he had sent a water clone to grab a sealing book. It was during the lunch break that the clone returned, with the book. Caspian had approached Naruto told him his name and handed him the book as a present. Then Naruto did something unexpected he hugged Caspian, and he felt tears hit the back of his jacket. Caspian returned the hug, and after the lunch hour had ended the two sat next to each other. Soon after Caspian was sleeping through another history lesson and Naruto was looking over the sealing book, which came with brushes and paper someone could use to make seals.

It was during the last exercise of the day which was running five laps around the field when something happened. Having been one of the first kids to finish his laps, (Five laps was nothing after dodging giant rocks, and fire Justus by his Aunt) Naruto came up to him and told him that he had something to show him. They both snuck out to a training field not too far away from the academy.

Naruto pulled out a seal that he had made, "Cool huh?" Caspian nodded, now he had read the book on sealing that Naruto had, and knew that a seal shouldn't look like what Naruto was holding, "Let's see what it can do." Naruto said. Before he could stop him Naruto put way to much charka into the seal. Caspian felt the charka expand and knew it would explode. He grabbed Naruto and with a burst of speed escaped the training area. Unknown to Caspian he had just used the justu that he had wanted to learn that when he saw the Dog ANBU and female ninja use, the "Teleportation" justu. Since Caspian didn't know that he and Naruto landed hard against the ground back in the academy yard. They arrived just in time to see the training ground they were at go up in an explosion. It seemed Naruto would need more help in sealing then Caspian thought. From behind them they hard a cough to see the scowling face of Iruka, and the grinning face of Anko.

Fifteen minutes later both boys sat in the headmaster's office, with the retired middle age ninja sitting at his desk, and Tsuande pacing back and forth as was Ton-Ton who she had picked up from Shizune on her way to the academy . She was angry, maybe even more so than when she caught Jiraiya peeping on her ( the first time )in the hot spring, and she hit him so hard he was sent to another female ninja hot spring in Wind country where he got beat up even more.

She turned toward the two boys who had lowered their heads. "How do you blow up a training ground your both six?!" She looked at Caspian, " What were you thinking giving him a book on sealing, not to mention that he isn't even family-"

Caspian got up so quick he knocked the chair over, "He is family! Naruto is an Uzumaki even if it is distant he is family and don't you dare think anything else Auntie! I won't lose any more family not again." As he finished tears entered his eyes.
Any retort she had died on Tsuande's lip after that last sentence. The way Caspian acted you tended to forget that he had seen both of his parents murdered only a few short months ago. She kneeled down and wrapped him a hug.

As he sniffled Caspian returned the hug, "I sorry I yelled at you Auntie."
Tsuande smiled, "It's okay I forgive you, but next time tell me what you're going to do okay?" Caspian nodded. Her gaze then turned to Naruto, "And you no more practicing seals without supervision got it." Naruto nodded franticly. "Now what should be your punishment?"

This is when the headmaster cut in, "May I suggest Lady Tsuande that there be no punishment, and that they simply leave for the rest of the day. We can start fresh tomorrow. No one was harmed in the explosion and the academy was thinking about replacing that training ground anyway. So no real harm was done."
Tsuande thought they were getting off scot free until she realized she could "train" both of them. Her face turned into a smirk, and then all four of them left including Ton-Ton.

As they all walked on the street, Caspian asked, "Auntie can we go to the park?" She turned to him and he had the puppy dog eyes, she then turned to Naruto who was doing the same. Tsuande then looked back to Caspian who was now holding Ton-Ton, and even the pig was doing his version of puppy dog eyes. She slapped her forehead in defeat, "Fine one hour then we all go home."

"Home?" an almost disbelieving Naruto asked.

Tsuande turned to him, "Your family Naruto and you're staying with us for a little while." Before she could react Naruto had her leg in a hug, and Caspian was doing the same." With both kids glued to her legs she made her way to the park.

When they got there the two boys and pig raced to the slide as Tsunade sat down on a bench. She watched the boy for a few minutes while they played. All three of them went down the slide at once with Ton-Ton in the front, then they went to the swings and they took turns pushing each other, both boys even pushed Ton-Ton on a swing well he squealed happily. It was a perfect end to a not so perfect day.

There goes this chapter. Next time there is the meeting with the Tsuchikage, maybe the Hyuga dinner, and meeting Jiraiya. Also I would like your thoughts on if I should give Caspian Wood Release, or would that make him too overpowered. On that note do you think his is too overpowered right now? One final thing, should I call Caspian's justu Hissing Water Palm or Hissing Wave Palm because I find myself typing wave instead of water. As always PM if you have any questions concerns, or suggestions on where to take the story leave a review about your favorite part of the chapter or story so far. Until next time thanks for the support
