Honestly when I first started thinking about the future of the story I thought I might have been making my OC'S too powerful but I have two reasons for that, one being even though they've been removed from the world for many years now they're still a clan that existed within the warring states era where power was the rule of the land and children were expected to die in battle just as much as anyone else, the Monogahi are the only protection for their village so to me it kinda makes sense for them to be powerful, also the way most chunin and jonin in canon are just fodder really always annoyed me. Even genin should be capable of more than most were in the anime so in this fanfiction everyone from genin to elite jonin will be amped to the level I feel it'd make most sense for them to be on. Itachi and Shisue being low chunin level is probably how it really was at this point in the real story, my OC'S may seem overpowered for now but as I build the world around them and you begin seeing canon characters progress and come into the story they won't seem so OP anymore but the entire fanfic maybe seem OP compared to the canon Naruto verse lol hopefully you'll find it enjoyable though.
Hatsue's POV
The day after Nubutaka was standing outside the compond just like her grandfather said they'd agreed on and Hatsue felt her heart start doing leaps. "I'm really going to start learning the wiring arts today!" She thought with barely contained joy.
"Hello." Hatsue greeted shyly playing with the hem of her sleeve in an attempt to calm her nerves.
"Glad you could make it. Today I'll be training you and five others, but for now I'll be training most of you separately. I sent shadow clones to pick up the rest of my new trainies and I'll be switching places with one when your training starts since the others will be undergoing combat training. If you're all set we can begin making our way towards the training field." Nubutaka said looking at her curiously.
"Of course." She smiled remembering her grandfather's words and trying not to pay them to much mind, this was about learning the wiring arts not seducing a man she hardly knew.
Around twenty minutes later Hatsue and a clone of her new teacher stood at one of the leafs many training grounds discussing all the ways in which she figured out how to use the ninja wire she still had wrapped from her wrist to her forearm.
"Very good. If you don't mind me asking, what's your motivation for learning the wiring arts?" Nubutaka asked staring at her curiously.
"My mother was an anbu who saved my dad when he was pinned down and separated from his squad on a mission. Dad would always talk about mom and her wiring techniques with so much admiration in his voice, before I knew it it was something I wanted to learn. Both of them referring to it as the most beautiful of all ninja art. I've always been entranced with the art but since my mother is no longer a shinobi and refuses to teach me I've never had a way of satting that hunger."
"Makes sense...how come you've never sought shinobi training before, it'd probably make finding a willing teacher easier." Nubutaka asked politely.
"I'm only half Uchiha which most of the clan see's as a liability. My grandfather forbade it for fear of me one day meeting an end on a mission or worse. My mother and father respect his word so they agreed I would not become a shinobi and no one wants to train someone who's never even been to the academy." Hatsue felt her mood dampen a little till Nubutaka placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Well first we'll teach you how to throw shurekien and kunai, once you've got a solid grasp on them we'll move on to quickly preparing and utilizing ninja wire." Nubutaka smiled at her gently. "R-right!" Hatsue grinned ready to learn.
Elsewhere in the training field Shisue Itachi and Hamura were getting their asses handed to them by Nubutaka in a sparing match.
Hamura's POV
"Why does he seem so much more powerful than last time?" A panting Shisue asked standing between Hamura and Itachi.
"It's not just that he's using the magnet style to it's fullest now along with his yin style." Hamura replied trying to think of a strategy that might possibly work against his brother.
Nubutaka clone POV
"Now since this training is all about the mind we could have done it inside but the reason I say outside is because Imari you posses the bone manipulation bloodline and Inoha you posses the crystal style kekkei genki I think the best way to open your first two points would be having you two focus on them in battle, I'll give you both a brief description of them and as you two fight me focus on them as you feel the need arise."
"Right!" The twins yelled excited knowing they had something rare even among their clan.
Two months later: Hamura's POV
Hamura walked around aimlessly hoping the Uchiha clan meeting both his friends were forced to attend would be over soon.
He was wandering around the village looking for anything that'd distract him from the lack of anything fun in his life besides training, developing new justu, and being around his clan mates.
Most of his clan mates were away on missions or seeing to the training of the younger Monogahi. Hamura would help with that occasionally but mostly he stuck to training with Shisue Itachi and Nubutaka who upon the Uchiha's request held weekly spars with the boys as a way to help develop their combat abilities faster.
Besides Shisue Itachi and a few other young Uchiha, Hamura didn't have any friends in the village so when he wasn't training he just walked around taking in the sights he still wasn't fully familiar with.
Walking through one of Konaha's poorest residential districts, a place he hadn't been before Hamura began feeling bad for the people he saw laying about or walking the streets, most of whom between feeding themselves and their families would never be able to move out of the poverty stricken slums.
"This is messed up people shouldn't have to live like this." He thought watching as a group of small children tried to rob an old man who appeared to be homeless.
"Stop! Leave that man alone, he's done nothing to you!" The Monogahi shouted as he came to stand behind the children he could now see had sunken stomachs as if they hadn't eaten in a while or just didn't eat much period.
"Mind your own business baka! It doesn't matter what anyone did, you'd do this too if u didn't eat anything in three days!" The tallest kid in the group, a boy with dirty beige hair and brown eyes spoke shocking Hamura with his statement and the desperation in his voice as he said it.
"That doesn't mean it's right to rob other people of their own food money!" Hamura yelled back feeling more sorry for the people in these slums than before but unwilling to let these kids no older than him steal from other poor people.
"What do you know about being hungry look at you! I'm pretty sure back on the pretty side of konoha they consider you some kind of noble or your parents are loaded! You probably only came here sight seeing. We're here because we can't eat or live anywhere else!" The boy spat turning slightly away from the old man who seemed to be stunned by the fact someone was speaking up for him.
"Jusino, he look like he might has money." A small girl with white blonde hair no older than five said from behind the boy hardly being able to form the words she spoke but knowing a good meal ticket when she saw it.
Jusino looked between Hamura and the old man for a second weighing his options.
"Fork over all your money and we might just let u keep those fancy clothes of yours." Jusino said scowling at Hamura and slowly moving closer as his gang followed him surrounding Hamura who sighed and formed a single hand sign.
"Shadow clone justu." Half of the entire street filled with smoke as realization of attempting to rob a ninja dawned on the group who panicked and tried to get away quickly running through the smoke.
When it cleared Jusino stood at his same spot in the middle surrounded by a dozen clones some of which had kunai pressing against the necks of his associates.
"Okay okay! I'm sorry we tried to rob you just please let my friends go and we'll be on our way, this is the only family we have!" Jusino said referring to himself and the girl who was trying even harder to hide behind his leg now.
"Look dude, I'm really sorry you guys have to live like this. I really wish there was something more I could do to help you." Hamura said signaling for his clones to let the children go and tossing his wallet to Jusino when they dispersed.
"Do me a favor please, and make sure you guys feed him too." Hamura pointed to the old man who still seemed stunned.
"My name is Hamura Monogahi one day I'll try to help everyone in this part of the village but until then if you guys ever find yourselves hungry again head towards the Monogahi clan compond and tell them Hamura sent you, they'll make sure your needs are taken care of."
With that Hamura flickered to a low roof top nearby smiling when he saw Jusino apologizing to the old man and ask him were he would like to eat. Slightly satisfied with himself but sad all the same he couldn't do anything for the people in these slums he turned to make his way home stopping and rushing in the opposite direction when he heard a screem.
Kakashi POV
It'd been two months since they'd left the village and Kakashi was pleasantly surprised to find Amaris seemed to have completely forgotten her infatuation with him and focused solely on the mission.
They'd been tracking Jiriya of the sannin for two weeks now since picking up his trail which lead them to a small civilian village known for it's hot springs.
Kakashi entered the room his ninken told him Jiriya was in and spotted the white haired toad sage relaxing in the water his head laid back against the rocks with his eyes closed.
"Jiriya sama?" Kakashi inquired standing on an opposite end of the spring wrapped in his towl.
"Indeed it is I...the great toad sage of Mount moboku, conquerer of the unknown, defender of the just and slayer of women..." The sannin smiled at at the last part causing Kakashi to sweat drop.
"So you here for my autograph kid or what?" Jiriya asked still not opening his eyes.
"Uhhm actually no sir, I'm head of the tracker squad lord third appointed with delivering this message to you." Kakashi tossed the scroll to the sannin who opened his eyes to catch it at the last second.
His eyes now open and his face serious Jiriya read over the scroll before sighing heavily and closing it.
"Guess it can't be helped then, I'll return with you to the village." Jiriya stood up out of the water and Kakashi averted his eye glad his sharingan hadn't seen that.
"Geez ever heard of modesty old man." Kakashi said mad at not even receiving a warning first.
"Pffft you wish, modesty is for losers. If you've got it might as well be proud of it am I right." Jiriya smirked loving to piss people off that way.
"Flashing people indiscriminately is nothing to be proud of." Kakashi said frowning, walking in the other room to put his clothes back on.
Nubutaka's POV
Nubutaka ducked low avoiding a few shurekien that flew behind him hitting a tree.
"Crystal release deadly spikes justu." Inoha said going through hands signs already at the speed of a genin.
Nubutaka leapt high in the air avoiding the large spikes rising from the ground. He quickly twisted in the air his kunai clashing with a sword of bone Imari held in her right hand. She quickly twisted swinging with the blade in her left, Nubutaka parried her strike with the same kunai and was caught by surprise when in an incredible display of acrobatics and speed she flipped in the air and kicked him sending him speeding towards the ground.
"Crystal release: Javelin grave!" Inoha slammed her hands into the ground creating a large field of long crystal spikes which in a way all resembled Javelins, Hatsue in the same motion hurled a number of shurekien at the falling clan head who began forming one handed seals as he used his kunai to block most of the shurekien.
"Yin style: Shadow shroud teleportation."
Nubutaka disappeared in a swirl of darkness reappearing behind Inoha who reacted quickly twisting her hand in the ground causing spikes to shoot from the crystals javelins surrounding them.
"Earth style: Solid dome justu!" Nubutaka shouted forming no seals as a thick dome of earth rose around him stopping the crystal spikes.
"Kaguya style:Bone grave!" Imari yelled as she fell from the sky and landed on top of the dome slamming both her palms down causing many bones to erupt from the large rock. Before she had a chance to remove her hand Nubutaka rose from her shadow but was quickly forced to flicker away as he caught the faint glimmer of ninja wire maneuvering in the wind.
As soon as Nubutaka reappeared he threw five shurekien with impeccable precision cutting the wires Hatsue had attached to the kunai still embedded in the tree. He did a quick analysis of the area seeing Imari to his left Inoha to his right and no sight of the surprisingly stealthly Hatsue.
"Hhaaaa!" Both girls shouted charging the man they called cousin. Nubutaka prepared himself pulling out another kunai, he noticed too late the small shadows on the ground getting bigger and found he had no room to get out of the immediate area where the rain of kunai would land as Imari and Inoha charged him from the only clear openings.
Smiling at Hatsue's effortless coordination with the girls who'd been training two years before she ever picked up a kunai, Nubutaka blocked Imari's bone blade his shadow rising to block Inoha's crystal dagger. The falling kunai all landed in the ground around them in a pattern Nubutaka didn't recognize.
Two tangles of simmering ninja wire came into view, one tangle horizontal and the other vertical, before Nubutaka had time to ponder the purpose of this trap flames started to quickly race down every single wire creating an inescapable prison of flaming wires that surrounded them and seemed to be casually closing in.
Nubutaka saw Inoha and Imari quickly forming different hand signs. Before he could think of his next move his feet and arms were locked in place by crystal arms which had risen from the ground.
Inoha looked at him hesitantly as if unsure but shook her head and started forming another set of seals as Imari kept at hers slower as to build more focus.
"Yang style: Sanctuary of light!" Inoha finishing with gusto, the Justu erasing all minor traces of shadow within the constantly shrinking ball of heat metal and fire that hardly contained any shadows to begin with, also looking like it took it's tole on Inoha who quickly stumbled over to her sister who just finished her chain of seals Nubutaka had recently taught her upon the girls awakening their secondary affinities.
"Yin style: Walker of darkness!" Imari shouted for extra help focusing to assure she'd get it right.
Much to Nubutaka's pleasure her and Inoha began sinking into her shadow which Inoha had somehow excluded from her justu.
"Good luck Nubu sama, see you sooon cousin Buta!" Imari and Inoha shouted over the roaring flames disappearing into Imari's shadow as Nubutaka smiled and took in the results of Imari and Inoha's teamwork with Hatsue.
Nubutaka knew earth style was out of the question for escape without the use of his hands as was the shadow walker technique without any shadows to manipulate and sink into.
He felt great pride budding in his chest the twins under his tutelage had already grown skilled in the use of their kekkei genki as well as proficient in the use of their yin and yang style. Hatsue was proving to have a gifted mind for strategy and natural capacity for combat and stealth.
He'd expected her grandfather as well as her parents to be absolutely shocked with the progress report on her growth over the month he gave them and indeed they were shocked each month he reported on her progress and natural shinobi skill.
With their permission he was attempting to pull a few strings and have her skip the academy and just be placed on a team with Inoha and Imari when they graduated in a few years. His biggest standpoint with the Hokage on this was they'd already be training together for the next couple of years anyway, they already showed impeccable teamwork and they all seemed to adore each other.
Hiruzen said that he would first need to discuss it with the council as it went directly against normal protocol.
Nubutaka smirked thinking of the council. "I wonder if Danzo is proud of his daughters, or does he expect more?"
Feeling the heat actually starting to singe his skin Nubutaka left his thoughts and took one last mental picture of the master piece of teamwork the girls didn't know the Hokage and the councils were observing right now through a crystal ball.
He smiled knowing the girls had made him resort to his last safety option which they didn't know about but still trusted him enough to escape. "Lightning style flash teleportation!"
Outside the flaming death ball
"Are you sure he'll be able to escape that? I mean...we did kinda devise this plan as a way to defeat him. In the shinobi world defeat also means kill right?" Hatsue asked fearfully staring at the ball of flames she held control over with eight fire resistant ninja wire she held in her hands.
"I doubt we killed him, Buta sama is stronger than Yoshikawa sama." Imari said sounding sure of herself.
"But why hasn't he come out yet?" Asked a slightly distressed Inoha.
"He's probably admiring our team work and Hatsue's fire prison. You know cousin Buta he's weird like that." Imari said placing a hand on her sisters shoulder.
"I'm not that weird." Nubutaka said from behind causing both girls to whirl around moving to give the man a hug but found they'd been beaten to it by the shy Uchiha girl.
"Are you okay Nubutaka!? We didn't go too far did we?" She asked checking him over for injuries blushing when she finished and found he was staring at her curiously.
She took an involuntary step back nervous under his gaze only to develop a furious blush when he stepped forward and pulled her in returning the hug she'd given.
"I'm fine thanks for worrying, and no way you went too far. The three of you were incredible your teamwork was amazing felt like I was up against a solid team of chunin with jonin level tactics. You guys have no idea how proud you made me." Nubutaka said letting Hatsue out of his brief embrace and bear hugging his little cousins who complain about lacking oxygen.
Hatsue stood to the side giggling till she felt a tug on the ninja wires that'd been wrapped around her arm since the day she'd meant Nubutaka.
"Don't think we forgot you." Nubutaka said his hand extended towards her wrist as the twins stood smiling mischievously at her. Without warning she was pulled to the ground and found herself being mercilessly tickled by the twins who's distress she was just chuckling at seconds ago.
"Nn-noo st-stop, hahahaha h-how did you, pfftt, bhwahaha, find m-my one weakness!" Hatsue said between laughs finding enough strength to launch a counter attack against the Monogahi girls at the end of her sentence.
Hamura's POV
Hamura landed on a roof top right above where he heard the screams wondering who it was behind them and why, in the small alleyway below he saw four men surrounding something small.
One of the men appeared to be in his late fifties with a pudgy face and a snide smirk that bespoke an arrogance only nobles and big shots possessed.
"See you don't seem to understand kid. You're mother was our property so by default you also happen to fall under that category. You can run around the slums of Konaha all you want my men always find you I run these parts of town. Knock the kid out so she won't do any screaming till we get back to the hole." The man sneered at the girl who looked at him defiantly but steadily shook revealing just how scared she actually was.
The two men who were probably just the man's hired muscle closed in on the girl who Hamura noticed had a gleaming metal object in her left hand, he could sense her fear her anger and her killing intent.
Before the men could reach for the girl who was backed against the wall Hamura appeared in front of her in a flicker of flames his usual brown and gold flecked eyes shinning a bright predators yellow.
The old man raised an eyebrow as his body gaurds took an involuntary step away from the boy who just appeared out of fire that appeared out of thin air. "Who are you boy?" The man spat more than he asked looking more than a little upset at being interrupted.
"Who are you and why do you refer to this girl as property?" Hamura asked trying to calm himself as his brother had taught him. Unlike Nubutaka who in a way Hamura tried to emulate in being a controlled confident and calm ninja with the skills to back up the attitude Hamura wasn't so good at always controlling his emotions.
"That's none of your business boy! Stand asi-" The old man's words died in his throat as both of his body gaurds fell unconscious. "Wh-wha!" The old man stammered growing fearful.
"Run." Hamura told the man with narrowed eyes standing behind his fallen body gaurds. The man stood frozen in shock for a few more seconds then proceeded to scurry away hurriedly. Hamura turned and walked back towards the figure on the ground.
"You okay?" He asked offering his hand. The girl looked at him hesitantly then took it using it to help herself up. "They didn't hurt you did they?"
She looked surprised at his question then slowly nodded her head no.
"Why were those men after you?"
"None of your business! Thanks for helping me and all but I don't need some random kid showing up out of nowhere playing detective, go save someone else and ask them questions!" The girl said getting mad out of the blue, her attitude irritating Hamura who honestly wasn't having a good day.
"I was just trying to be nice maybe I should've let them knock you out!"
"You should've I'd have delt with them!"
"What, you'd have caught them off gaurd killed them then what? Is the easy answer to all the problems in Konaha violence!?"
"Hell if I know but the answer to mine damn sure was!!! What now, they'll just come after me again tomorrow, I'm tired of running! I can hardly scrap together food I'm so busy trying to avoid being seen! My own street gangs sell me out to that bastard! I was finally going to kill him today but you just had to ruin it!" The girl stepped forward slapping Hamura hard then falling down clutching her ankle with a pained expression.
To her surprise the boy knelt down beside her and observed her leg seemingly ignoring the fact that she just slapped him.
"What's your name fireball?" Hamura asked sitting next to her and staring at the ground in thought.
"Fireball?" The girl asked tilting her head most of her anger replaced by confusion and frustration for the moment.
"You've got a hot temper so I thought it was appropriate, although I guess I do understand why you're mad."
"I do not have a hot temper I just can't let anyone see me as a weakling or a shy little girl. If I do they'll eat me alive." She said looking down in thought as well and for a moment both her and Hamura sat in silence processing their own thoughts and emotions.
"Anko." The girl spoke after a long silence.
"Huh?" Hamura said confused.
"It's Anko, my name is Anko Mitarashi." The girl said looking up from the ground towards the sky where the the sun was setting in the distance.
"What, like the dango paste?"
Nubutaka POV
After seeing his students home Nubutaka used his walker of shadows technique to rise from a dark corner in the council room where both the shinobi and the civilian council had gathered.
Nubutaka nodded in greetings towards the clan heads whom he'd gotten to know a bit after a year in Konaha. The clan heads all nodded back besides Fugaku who preformed a weird rhythm of taps with his finger indicating to Nubutaka that he'd like to talk later.
Nubutaka's eyes flashed a brighter golden than usual for a moment when he looked in Fugaku's direction as the clan head nodded imperceptibly and stilled his finger.
The clan head walked to the center of the room and stood waiting for someone to give their opinion on his students.
"It seems you were right about their teamwork and their bonds with one another already. Admittedly I didn't expect two five year olds and an Uchiha who only started training to be a shinobi two months ago to show such skill. Part of the civilian council moves that all of them be allowed to skip the academy and be made special chunin seeing as a unit their already at the level of a low chunin unit capable of jonin level tactics, justu and traps." Hiruzen stated.
"However the shinobi council the rest of the civilian council as well as my advisors and myself think it best that Inoha and Imari finish their training at the academy while you catch Hatsue up on what they're learning during the day." He continued and Nubutaka nodded in agreement with this.
"We have also come to the unanimous decision to allow Hatsue to be placed on a team with those two and even become a full fledged shinobi if she agrees to take part in the graduation exams of her future team mates." Nubutaka smiled at this and bowed in gratitude to the room.
"Now that the matter you inquired about has been fully addressed the civilian council has something the they wish to address to you." Hiruzen finished looking towards the civilian council as if they'd offended him somehow.
For a moment all of them looked around till a short pudgy man with pale skin and expensive robes stood up and looked challengingly at Nubutaka who folded his arms and stared at the man curiously.
"It has come to the attention of the civilian council that Imari and Inoha Shimura are no longer members of the Monogahi clan but are now members of the Shimura who only have three existing members." The man paused wondering if Nubutaka was following.
"Go on." Nubutaka said waiting for the man's point.
"Well you see, those two now being the only remaining Shimura in the leaf village and possessing rare kekkei genki places them both directly under the CRA on the day that they reach chunin and are at least fourteen years of age, a matter lord Danzo when asked assured us you would not let come to pass."
"What's this CRA?" Nubutaka asked curious as to why Danzo said he'd be against it.
"The clan repopulation act is a clause written by the second Hokage that states: any clan who has bearers of a specific bloodline or kekkei genki who's number drops below ten members must partake of the CRA. Which is when said persons bearing said bloodline ability or kekkei genki must only take low risk missions and produce offspring as a way of assuring the village doesn't lose an asset. The potential mates of the individuals under the CRA will be selected from either the village nobles or the village shinobi and voted upon by both councils who must be in agreement upon them." The man finished looking smugly at Nubutaka who's facial expression hadn't changed the entire time he listened to the man.
The room was completely silent as everyone waited to see how the man would react to the man stating under law his cousins were to be made into breeding machines as to assure the village didn't lose their bloodlines now that they were their own clan.
"Danzo...what do you think of this?" Nubutaka asked still staring at the pale man who began to shrink under his increasingly cold gaze.
"I am indifferent to this suggestion. While it may be a prudent move to raise Konaha's number of rare kekkei genki users we already have tones of shinobi of the same blood only of a different name and compond." Danzo said plainly probably already expecting the question.
"What of you lord third?" Nubutaka asked looking towards the Hokage who sighed tiredly.
"What I think doesn't matter, what the councilman is suggesting can be considered just as prudent as it can be barbaric and wrong. How this matter is resolved will be between you the councils and Danzo." Sarutobi said not wanting to get involved.
"There is no issue to resolve or thoughts to be taken into consideration! This clause was written by Lord Tobirama himself you will n-" The man found himself cut off as his own shadow rose from the floor binding his arms mouth and legs.
"You will not dictate to me what decisions regarding MY family I'm allowed to have an opinion on. Last time I checked the civilian council were only allowed influence over matters pertaining to 'civilians' not our shinobi clans and the laws pertaining to them. The Hokage allows you to weigh in on these matters as a privilege...you aren't entitled to it nor do your opinions have any sway." Nubutaka said looking at the man but speaking to the entire civilian council who always seemed to take an unhealthy interest in all matters pertaining to shinobi that could further their own positions within the village.
No one spoke for a while as Nubutaka's comment sunk in around the room and the shinobi council smirked at the outraged and fearful expression that varied amoung the civilian council members.
"Release him." Hiruzen commanded pleased as the man's shadow let go of him receding back to it's regular form, as the man fell on the floor gasping and squirming to his feet.
"Lord Hokage I demand that this man be arrested under charges of assault against a council member and-"
"No." Hiruzen cut in sharply silencing the man.
"He is right in all that he's said and he could've easily hurt you but he didn't, you should be grateful." The Third Hokage said as he puffed on his smoke pipe.
"While I do think it a good idea to keep your side of the council informed on shinobi matters as to ensure you aren't unaware of the military state of the village, it is a privilege you are allowed not entitled to and as such you can only give your opinions. As the shinobi council is also allowed to take part and give their opinions in civilian council matters, all of whom besides Hiashi usually choose not to partake of this privilege."
"Besides, the CRA was never an enforced policy anyway more of a recommendation. Which the civilian council has no real say in anyway." Hiruzen finished taking another puff.
The man deflated and sat back down knowing he was beaten.
"Where do the members of the shinobi council besides me stand on this matter?" Nubutaka asked looking around the room.
"Like this was something that could've been saved till they were chunin. Just like the civilian council to waste valuable shinobi time." Tsumi commented getting a few bad looks from said council.
Hiruzen looked around the room seeing if she spoke for everyone.
"Well if most of the shinobi council is in agreement on this matter this can wait until it's appropriate time. We'll move on to the last matter of business for today." Hiruzen said motioning to the civilian council.
"Due to the excellent progress and close relationship you have with your apprentices-"
"Hatsue is my only apprentice the others I just spare with and teach through experience." Nubutaka said cutting the man off.
"About that lord Nubutaka." A civilian council women with pink hair interjected respectfully.
"Lord Danzo along with Fugaku Uchiha and the rest of the council have recommended you for head academy instructor. It would be a great honor if you'd accept the job." She said as many other council members nodded in agreement.
"What, why me?" Nubutaka asked confused.
"The academy instructors tend to be too soft on the kids. When observing the progress your current students are making in developing both their shinobi skills as well as their teamwork, the decision to ask this of you was unanimous." Danzo said referring to Shisue, Hamura and Itachi as well as Hatsue and his adopted daughters.
"Shisue Itachi and my little brother are all considered prodigies, they were brilliant as a unit before I started their daily sparing sessions and the girls are just gifted plan and simple." Nubutaka said unwilling to take credit for his naturally talented students.
"That may be so but both Danzo and Fugaku have said to see improvement in their children since you've started training them. If you're able to successfully teach prodigies even the academy can't there's no doubt you'd make a great instructor." Hiruzen said stating a point.
"You'd be more of a supervisor for the academy teachers as well as the one who gets to choose the subjects of study and the pace at which they're set. Of course any changes made in the academy's curriculum will have to be considered by the council and approved by the Hokage but mostly you'd just be directing the school rather than teaching the kids themselves." Shikaku offered hoping to help the man's decision.
"As long as it doesn't interfere with the kids I'm already training I suppose it won't be too much of a problem." Nubutaka said hoping this wouldn't be a boring thing involving more paperwork.
Most of both councils smiled glad the man who appeared to be a brilliant shinobi trainer agreed to train their next generation of shinobi.
Kakashi's POV
Kakashi, Jiriya, Amaris, and Enken Aburame stood in an open field watching curiously as Yukushia seemingly had a conversation with a bunch of flowers. After a couple of minutes she thanked the plants and walked back towards her group.
"Apparently a woman with Senju chakra passed through here not too long ago and headed east." Yukushia said standing in front of the group.
Everyone save one person nodded and turned ready to head east when they all noticed the newest member of their party standing still for some reason.
Jiriya looked back and forth between everyone as if they'd all sprung a third head or something wondering if they were crazy or if he was.
"Let me get this straight. This girl can talk to plants?" The toad sage asked tilting his head slightly.
"Yes." Yukushia answered for herself.
The Sannin however crossed his arms and tilted his head further. "Do you know how crazy that sounds?"
"I don't exactly talk to them, I communicate with them using chakra. I talk to them physically to say thanks because the carbon monoxide will help them grow." Yukushia said, this not being the first time someone was skeptical about her ability to speak with nature.
"I don't buy it." Jiriya said disbelievingly.
"We were able to find your sent trail a few towns over because an old Oak tree told me you'd been hiding inside some bushes outside of a woman's bath house, where according to Kakashi's ninken your scent laid heavily on the ground mixed with that of sweat and se-"
"Okay okay okay!!! I believe you we can get moving now!" Jiriya shouted as he rushed pass the group and started quickly heading east.
Hamura's POV
"This is where you live?!?!" A surprised Anko yelled in her shock not expecting to see something this big when Hamura insisted she accompany him to his home so he could treat her leg.
"Yup, this is the Monogahi clan compond. Come on, we keep the medical supplies outside the training room." Hamura started walking but stopped when he noticed Anko looking at him with suspicion.
"What?" Hamura asked giving her look of suspicion a look of disbelief.
"This girls crazy."
"I'm not going any further inside, bring the bandages here." Her request sounded oddly like a command to Hamura who spared the girl his most tired look, going so far as to hunch his head and lower his shoulders.
"Don't pretend it's such a hassle, you live here don't you." Anko said frowning.
Hamura sighed knowing there'd be no convincing the stubborn girl.
"Fine, just wait for me here I guess." He said turning and walking towards the training area.
Anko's POV
Hamura had been gone for about five minutes now and Anko was getting more uncomfortable by the second.
"I don't belong here in this fancy compond or even in this part of Konaha for that matter, I'm just a street rat." She told herself looking in the direction Hamura went.
She quickly made up her mind and turned towards the componds entrance. As soon she neared the big set of double doors one of them opened, but thanks to her injured ankle she couldn't react in time and it ended up hitting her and knocking her to the ground.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry are you okay???" A female voice asked with worry.
Anko looked up and saw a fair skinned women with onyx black eyes that held a strong light and long dark hair that went all the way to her lower back. Beside the women was two young girls probably somewhere around Anko's age but a year or two younger also having dark onxy shaded eyes but oddly a tinge of violet inside of them and crazily enough stark white hair which Anko had never seen before, they appeared to be twins.
Authors notes
The pace won't be set this slow for long eventually they'll be a few time skips but I gotta develop the story a bit more first you guys might be hungry for a real plot by now since so far it's just been random character introductions and interactions along with the occasional fight scene but trust me the plots coming. As for Anko I don't know her past or exactly how she became a ninja but what we'll go with right here is if Hamura had never shown up she'd have killed the muscle heads and later ended up being placed in the academy since she had the capacity to kill two fully grown men at eight years old.
Hope you guys like the story so far it hasn't gotten truly interesting yet but we'll get their eventually.
Unknown: Thanks for the review :) sorry if the Amaris and Kakashi's meeting was exasperated but I thought a love at first sight thing would be kind of cute don't worry their romance won't be rushed.
Maya: They seem OP no doubt but once you see how the canon characters will be brought out of their shells it'll probably make more sense. I feel like a lot of the fight scenes in Naruto were done lazily so a lot of charecters appeared to be weaker than what they really were or most charecters were just weaker than they really should've been. I think the only truly OP character I've showed so far is Nubutaka.
