Secrets of the Stranger Revealed: A Fight with Family?!
After a couple of weeks, things were seemingly back to normal. As normal as it gets considering that Sasuke is "guarded" by ANBU & everyone is wondering who that man Naruto was carrying is. Speaking of which, on this day, he is walking around the Hidden Leaf Village. "Wow, this place is so beautiful, it almost beats home.", he says to himself. Out of nowhere, the stranger hears a voice in his ear, "Where's home for ya anyway?", the stranger turns around to see a smiling Naruto, & a very stern, slightly older looking woman with long blonde hair. "Hey, well, I'm from the Village Hidden in The Clouds. I should thank you though, Naruto, right? You helped me out, so thank you.", he says. Naruto smiles wide & nods, "That's right, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, & you're welcome!", the stranger smiles back & replies, "I'm Tsachi, Tsachi Shiruba. Nice to meet you.". Tsunade clears her throat & states, "Tsachi, as nice as you seem, I can't allow you to stay. It seems as if you've healed, so Naruto will escort you out of my Village by sunset.". As Tsunade turns to walk away Tsachi calls out, "Lady Hokage, wait! Please! I'll do anything to stay, anything! I'll become your servant, I'll clean up the village, I'll fight your strongest ninja! I want to stay, please!". Tsunade turns back, with a large smile on her face, the kind that even Tsachi knows will spell trouble. "Interesting, I think I'll take you up on that. Tomorrow, you'll fight ninja of my choosing. If you survive, you'll have the chance to prove yourself. Have a good day Tsachi, I'll see you tomorrow.", Tsunade walks off, leaving a look of shock, awe & worry on both the boys' faces.
The next day, Tsachi walks into the stadium, the same one that held the finals of Chunin Exams. He looks around & sees that it's packed, & hearing that nobody gives a crap about who he is. Tsuande & another woman, named Shizune, are sitting together seperate from the crowd. The Hokage declares, "Today is a special match, 1 were 3 young men will prove their worth!", Tsachi looks up at her & screams, "3!?! WHAT THE FUCK!?", but nobody hears him. "The 1st is a genius, a master of the Gentle Fist fighting style, Neji Hyuga!", Neji walks out to massive cheers from the crowd & nods slightly as Tsachi. "Next, is a genius in his own right. He has a lot to answer for, & today he will. The last of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke Uchiha!", as he walks out, the crowd is silent. They all stare at him, as he's escorted by a couple of ANBU agents. Tsachi has a wide smile on his face as both Sasuke & Neji stare at him. "What are you smiling about loser? You aren't even a ninja.", Sasuke asks Tsachi. He gets into a fighting stance & replies, "You'll find out soon enough, cousins.".
"I AM NOT YOUR COUSIN!", Sasuke cries before charging the foreigner. He starts attacking Tsachi, who blocks expertly. This surprises both Sasuke & Neji, the former of which pulls back & stands next to Neji.
BYAKUGAN!
As Neji stares at Tsachi, a look of dread falls on his face. "Sssss...Sasuke. Don't hold back.", he says with a twinge of fear in his voice.
SHARINGAN!
With both Neji & Sasuke using their dojutsu, they begin to understand that Tsachi isn't a normal person. He's a ninja, & not a normal 1 of those either. His chakra is astounding, all the more reason to get rid of him. Sasuke charges again & attacks Tsachi, who blocks effectively. Neji comes from behind.
EIGHT TRIGAMS: 2 PALMS
The moment Neji goes for his signature Gentle Fist attack, Tsachi dodges it & the attack of the Hyuga hits Sasuke instead. Neji stops after 4 Palms, & checks on Sasuke quickly before turning back to the 3rd man & asking, "How, how could you...", Tsachi quickly responds, "I told you, we're cousins.". As he utters those words, his electric blue eyes lighten, turning solid white. "No...you can't...You have the Byakugan!?", Neji inquires in a state of shock. Tsachi nods & smiles before adding, "There's more, look at my eyes now.", suddenly, Tsachi's Byakugan becoms distorted, & what looks like blood flows into his eyes. It swirls around & around before small red irises form in his eyes. They grow slightly larger, & the look on Neji's face turns from shock to horror, he can't even get out what he's thinking. That somehow, he has the Sharingan too.
Water Style: Giant Vortex Jutsu
A burst of water appears, & blasts both Sasuke & Neji, sending them careening into the wall & knocking them out. Nobody would've believed it, especially the people who placed bets. The long shot, the guy that nobody thought stood a chance against 2 ninja, won. Tsachi goes to check on the other 2 when Kakashi & Guy jump from out of the stands & lands in front of their 2 students. A second later Tsunade is standing behind Tsachi, "You, we need to talk, now.", she points at the stranger from the Cloud Village & he bows to the 2 Jonin before walking away, following Tsunade & Shizune.
"I wanna know who the hell you are right now.", Tsunade demands as she sits down in her chair, in the office of the Hokage. Tsachi stands before her & replies, "Ok. I'm Tsachi Shiruba of The Village Hidden in The Clouds....", Tsunade interupts, "I know that shit. I'm talking about how the hell you used both the Byakugan & the Sharingan! I want to know more than where you came from, I wanna know your whole life story, right now or I take care of you myself!".
"Ok. My parents, they were Kyouran Uchiha & Yuuga Hyuga.", Tsachi states sadly. Tsunade gasps at hearing their names, "Lord, so you're their boy. After they ran away together, I heard they had children. Whatever happened to them?", he answers, "They were killed, along with my brother.", Tsunade & Shizune look away for a moment before looking back at Tsachi, "I'm sorry to hear that. Please, continue.", Tsunade remarks in a much softer & kinder voice. "After it happened, I didn't know what to do. For weeks I just stayed there, I thought they were just sleeping, or sick. Finally, I walked away. I traveled for so long, trying to find a new home, when I made it to the Cloud Village. At first they treated me like you did, worse actually. Until they found out what I could do. I was trained, they told me I was going to defend my new home. I did, for a long time. Finally though, the Raikage wanted me to do more than defend. He wanted me to attack the Lightning Lord. I refused & left before they could punish me.".
Their eyes are locked on Tsachi, who is shaking slightly, barely able to contain the tears inside him. "I refused to hurt someone so kind to his people. I warned him & left the country, refusing to go back.", he states before collapsing into tears. Shizune walks over & puts her hand on his shoulder, "Lady Tsunade...", she starts but the 5th Hokage stops her, "Don't bother, I've already decided Shizune. Tsachi, you can stay.". He looks up, tears running down his cheeks & asks, "Really?", Tsunade smiles & nods, "Yes, really. As long as you can earn your keep, you are allowed to stay. Everyone here helps the other, there might be clans & families & all that, but in the end, we're all family. Do you understand?", he nods as he wipes away tears.
"Thank you Lady Hokage, thank you so much.", he says gratefully. Tsunade smiles softly & replies, "You're very welcome. Now then, as for where you'll stay, I have the perfect place in mind, until you can get your own dwellings of course. Follow me.", they walk out together, Tsachi anxious to find out where the Hokage was taking him.
