Hello, I'm here to write a challenge or a story if I feel like it, also it is inspire by hama of atla and the skills of blood bending arts, anyway this here is about a time where orochimaru remembers a lesson told by his former sensei sarutobi hiruzen about tobirama and his one escourt mission that he himself had learned about was simple old man wearing a noble samurai clothing, and from there is where it gets interesting like say that old man is dead but was observing the world as he is an avatar of death carrying a watch and a hourglass on his person since he read the timelines of the world give a lesson about all things life having a dark side.
Oh the disclaimer - I do not own naruto as it belong to kishimoto.
Like so:
On this day, one person is getting ready for his mission of escorting an old man of sixties years of age to his destination as he waits in the beginning of a gate and walls being built around the forming village, then an old man arrived with his pack over his shoulder with a kasa on his head, kind eyes and gentle smile on his face wearing a formal robes of a samurai then as soon he's in sight of the young adult in his early twenties with white hair, hard eyes and markings on his face wearing armor over his black clothes and fur around the armored collar then the old man say to him "Morning, young lad tobi-kun." said with a soft voice like a breeze in the wind and a gravely tone, and the now named tobirama as tobi-kun just grunted with a hn embarrassed at being called like that which cause the old man to laugh at the blushing young man, as they walked out of the open space where the gate doors should be but there were sentries and workers hard at workin their task.
A few days out on a road the old man had checked his watch to see which time would be ready to camp since the sun was setting then said "Well, we should camp for the night as gets dark soon tobi-kun." with tobirama nodded with a grunt as he could not corrected the old man for his name shorttened with formalities. At the camp found both men sitting on fallen logs in front of a bonfire that smokeless with the old man making stew asked tobirama with a question "Tell me young lad, what are the elements in life?" which cause tobirama off guard since he haven't heard such a question out of the man's mouth so he says in a thoughfull manner "Well, umm, there are wind, fire, water, earth and lightning that all I'm been tought about." with the other man shaking his head and say "That's true but it's not, there are more elements than those main ones." said the old man with a face of a teacher and continue from there "The main elements of life are indeed the fire, water, wind, and earth. But the wind and lightning are replaced with air and thunder or energy then we have other elements like sound, void, wood, metal, light and dark, and ice. Do you know that there's a dark side to these elements?" lectured then asked to tobirama as he reply "No, I haven't." with the old man nodding as he gave him a bowl of stew to eat and himself having one as well then say "It is because, nature in life itself have one like for example around this camp have things that can be use in poison wheather it be in liquid, gas, or solid and there can be predators where animals like wolves hunts at night on unsuspecting preys. But then how can the elements be having one such as it? Because they are, like fire here like this one." gesturing toward the bonfire that was still smokeless "It can bring light in the dark, cook us some food, and bring warmth as we sleep but then it can also burn down into ashes, bring destruction, and giving smoke and smog in our lungs as we breathe as well as toxic smokes as it polluted the air we breathe as fumes do in factories and volcanoes."
And this was an example for when orochimaru's former sensei has told in his lesson to him and his former teammates, then in process made project of having a dark side element of water into naruto of which was taken away from then alive parents and twin brother (sealed the kyuubi inside by sarutobi to give the parents a chance to live) to be in oto in rice field country.
Asid from that, the old man must told tobirama about all things in life having a dark side even the elements themselves, along telling him about another energy source like say chi, ki, mana with body, mind and soul (spirit) in physical energy, mental energy and spiritual energy along with the already there chakra like those of guru, monk and priest (shinto, onmyoudo), and the spiritually aware people who practice in occult and supernatural.
Now as for pairings, be forewarned as this may be enter in the realm of yaoi meaning boyxboy and slash however the pairings itself can be like say zaku with naruto as they both are pretty much an obsnotious and rash, and head-on approach with one arrogant and other loud, or dosu with naruto as they both are well compare each other where one is silent and observing with analitical mind and reserved with the other loud and quick on his feet, crazy plans on the field and trap making, or both with naruto as they balanced each other out with their personalities as well as being the best of friends in oto. Or this can be a hetero pairings with either kin, karin, or tayuya of oto and ex-kusa.
Then onto the elemental affinities that naruto may be having while naruto will still have his main affinity toward wind but his secondary would be water, as wind is powerfull as his main then water would be high enough to equalize the wind as it balanced itself up then going on to the dark side as bending blood arts either black, regular or red enough to be dark red, or reddish black blood either his own or the enemies' spilted blood.
And then naruto's skill in water affinity and its related element such as ice and snow, hot and cold, warm and cool, boil and steam, acid and poison, healing and regeneration, freeze and frost, storm and weather, winter and sub-zero (below zero, absolute zero), thermal energy, mist and fog, ocean and sea, bubbles, oil and petrol, slime and goo, liquid/gas/solid, chemistry, and more.
Well then, that's all I have at the moment in time, so please read and review, as well as if you want you can pm me for permission.
Sorry for this being short, it's all I could do for now.
Farewell.
