Chapter 9: Of Angels and Myths
Timeskip: A few days later...
The three of them stood in a small clearing at the base of an unidentified mountain about five and half kilometers from Kohona. A small waterfall quietly feed a small lake that was on western side of the mountain The area that the old man chosen this particular place was out of the way of Kohona patrols or passing nins. He watched the two young blonde brothers explore the area that they were in. One side of the clearing was 2 wooden stumps and 2 stone pillars, all of which had marks from use. A overhanging rock jutted out about several meters from the ground and a couple of bushes and boulders tall as the old man hidden a cave entrance to the new home of the Uzumaki brothers. Though, they didn't have much choice in the matter didn't they. Not really considering of what might happened if they had stayed in Kohona at the moment.
"So old man, why we here?"The loud blonde said in a huff."Why can't we stay in Kohona to train? Why out here in the middle of no where?"
"Hmm...you should have guessed why we are out here Naruto."The old man chuckled before turning a serious face on the matter at hand."I know you two don't want to be away. This the best in this situation as of now you know."The old kage took out his pipe and took a couple of drags from it.
"We don't have to like oji-san!"Mouka now shouted before plopping on the ground dejectedly. He was being forced along with his brother to live out here and knew it couldn't be helped. A crucial time, which Naruto and Mouka believed being away from the girls they had fallen in love with will worsen the situation."I know why we are out here, we both understand. It just difficult for me to be away from her ..."
The white and blonde haired boy only sighed nothing cheerful at the situation. The blonde whiskered brother stood a few feet behind Mouka, arms crossed his chest stubborn anger. The Hokage could see a hint of sadness and regret in their eyes not for leaving Kohona itself. The reasons for behavior to the old man was understandable from their perspective, to leave someone precious to them, that they would done anything. A cherry blossom that was in mourning and a lilac weeping missing her companions was their determined reason not to leave, but they have at the urging of the old man. The man himself had doubts he should take them to this place. The consequences of courses that happened a few days ago didn't allow it.
Flashback Begins:
Two ANBUs appeared after the light show and the chakra spike that happened. In the lead was a silver spiked haired man in a wolf mask, next to him was a green haired woman in a eagle mask. They saw the Hokage standing over the two boys passed out from the exhaustion of their new ability. Luckily for Naruto and Mouka, their wings have retracted into their bodies after they had they them out a few moments before the ANBUs arrived. The use of the charka earlier that formed the wings have cause the exhaustion to set into to the two brothers.
"Hokage-sama, you alright?"The silver haired man spoken first and saw the two boys on the ground unconscious."We saw the light show then a felt strange yet familiar chakra when we were reporting for duty, are they alright?"
"Yes I am alright."The old beared man knelt down to check their vitals before turning to the two ANBU present."If you saw and felt it, then others will be coming soon."The face of concern appeared on his face before looking at the two present nins."Wolf, Eagle. Take the brothers just outside the North Gate and wait for me there."
"Are you sure Hokage-sama? Shouldn't we take them to the Hospital?"The man in the wolf masked asked as picked up Naruto."Are they one that sent out that chakra spike, if they are, it seemed they used quite a bit."
"Yes Hokage-sama, they are the only one here other than you, sir."The green haired woman went to pick up Mouka's unconscious form agreed with the wolf's observation."They couldn't have that much, could they? They are only young boys...who are they exactly."
"They are nothing to worry about so let it be. As for not going to the hospital, do you think it would be safe for them, you two know how the Village Council acts."The old man stared at the both ANBU that were holding the two demon containers."More than anything they are not to know understand?"
"Hai, Hokage-sama, the council in their 'infinite' wisdom, heh. We understand, sir."The silver haired man sarcastically said before bowing as he and his companion puffed out of the area.
'Damned, the council will want answers for the chakra spike. At least, no demon chakra this time nor anyone can tell since no witnesses.'Hokage quickly nodded to the two departing ANBU.'Raikoh-san, where the hell you go. Last report you were far north. These boys need you and I need answers still.'
Flashback Ends:
"So where are we exactly oji-san?"Mouka glanced at the surrounding before looking at the old man who puffed away on his pipe."How you know this place?"
"Yeah old man, this place is too far from the village. No ramen in sight!"Naruto pouted from the fact they were away from favorite eatery Ichiraku's back in Kohona. He plopped down next to Mouka waiting for the old man's answers.
"Heh, this place is kinda special, nobody knows about this actually. This place was originally a safe shelter long time ago during our dark period of Kohona."The old man paused shaking his head in thought before going on."This place was later found by your father abandoned and unused. So he changed this place into a training ground. He showed it to me one day to show me how he trained using his wings.
"This place as he called it Tenshi Saiden."The Hokage sat down cross-legged from the two boys."Since this place was a bit out of the way from Kohona, so few people came this way it allowed your father to train in peace. Sometimes he would leave this place under disguise while in flight to train or travel. Normally he told me he trained his Houyoku at night primarily without fear of someone seeing him in flight."
"So that's why you chosen this place. I noticed the training stumps and pillars over there."Naruto excitedly pointed at them."Our father actually used them! Cool, now we following out father's path."Naruto made a huge foxy grin since the first time they left Kohona. Only with Mouka followed suit with just a smile.'So this place was used by our father to become strong. We will do the same thing.'Mouka smiled inwardly for once since the incident.
"Inside, the cave has the basic bedding, cooking area and such."The Sarutobi rubbed his chin trying to remember what was left since the last usage."As for the food I will bring them to you for the first couple of weeks..."
Before the old man could finished, Mouka shouted interrupted the old man before giving him a uncomfortable glare."Wait! How long are we supposed to be out for training anyways?"
The old man just ignored the young X scarred boy before chuckling."Your father took almost four months before he knew the full extent of the wings ability. So I will have assume the same for you two, maybe slight faster."
"You know he is right fledgling. This area is perfect for both Tenrai Jutsu and Houyoku training."The great lord of birds added to the facts.
'But four months???...You know how feel about her and what happened...'Mouka mental screamed back, only to have the demon-sensei flinch at the volume if a demon could flinch.
"Look fledgling, even though I am a demon."Shujaku replied back in the usually calm manner when Mouka was not."I know of your kind before I changed, when someone close to you dies, they mourn for their loss until their emotions comes to terms with it."
'I know, but...I broke my promise to her...she will forget me because of what happened that day.'Mouka mentally said sadly to his 'inner friend'.
There was no response from the big feather friend for a moment then he sagely said."Fledgling give her time, she just needs it. She will not forget you I am pretty sure. Besides you will have to become stronger to protect her in the future okay?"
'What you mean she will not forget, she is trying to forget me...'Mouka didn't know to say, maybe his feathered friend was right. A person needs to heal from mourning. As for the second comment, Mouka never received a reply because Naruto stuck on the back of the head lightly.
"What the hell was that for bro!"Mouka yelled at his blonde whiskered brother then glared at him.
Naruto only rubbed his neck sheepishly before answering."Heh, nii-san, you spaced out for awhile. At least got your attention."
"Before you were hmmm...speaking to your friend. I will bring you enough food for the week, scrolls and visit every other day first couple of months."The Hokage laughing at the antics of the Uzumaki brothers before continuing."After the first month, I think you will be able to fly to and from Kohona, just don't get caught okay when flying, only do it at night if possible."
"Heh, earlier you said our father used a disguise when flying and traveling?"Naruto scratched his left cheek with a wide grin."Do you think Mouka and I could do that?"
"Actually, we will need new clothes when we do fly and to make sure nobody recognizes us, a disguise of sort is cool."Mouka caught on Naruto's train of thought."Besides, would that allows us to return to Kohona like a weekend or something where nobody recognize us."
"Hmm..."The Hokage tapped his bearded chin in thought before smiling."That might work actually. Also, I think you two are old enough to chose a sword that you will use in the future. Your father used one when he resurrected the Kohona no Senjin after your great grandfather created the group."
"Hey old man, who are the Kohona no Senjin? Who's going teach us to use a sword? We don't even know how to use kunai or shuriken yet!"Naruto said loudly causing the old man to cringe at all the questions while Mouka just smirked.
"Naruto, if you are flying, fists will not reach past your wings while in the air."The Hokage raised his hand to stop Naruto from rambling on."Also, I will tell you about the Kohona no Senjin since it is part of your family's history."
"Oh, I guess it cool if you say so old man since our father did and I guess we will learn kunai and shuriken as well."Naruto just glanced at his brother before asking."Hey bro, do you this is the right for us to be away from them..."His voice trailed off.
"If we are to get stronger, we have to train here don't we."The question that Mouka put forth was more rhetorical than the meaning of the question."We will train hard to protect every thing close to us Naruto, we were born to protect."Naruto nodded in agreement and both turned to the Hokage.
"Good, so, at the end of the month we will get you two some new clothes, weapons and supplies for you two."The Hokage smiled at the two brothers as they started down the road much like their father."Maybe it's time for your two to become legends like your father."
"Hai!"The two brother shouted excitedly.

Timeskp: One month later...
The two brothers stood in the clearing facing each other with taijutsu stances ready for another round of sparring. Over the month, with the help of the old man brought scrolls that explained a little by their father what the new ability Houyku could do. It also helped that at night their 'inner friend' and senseis also contributed to answers that happened after the changes.
Flashback:
Four days ago,
The two were asleep in their beds within their cave, it was nearing midnight when they settled in for sleep. They were exhausted and tired from the days activities that their demonic senseies put them through. They started early morning with sparring in taijutsu followed by regular ninjutsu training in the afternoon while after dinner was Tenrai training along with Houyoku.
Standing in the middle of the cherry blossom fields were the two and their senseis were again discussing their progress with kekkei genkai, The two brothers were sitting on the ground while one of them had a scowl on his face while the other sat their with blank expression
"What the heck was that for?"Naruto was yelling at the fact the former fox lord spirit sighed at the sight. The other blonde laughed only to stop when Naruto glared at him that could have made hell freeze over several times."I was doing aerial manoeuver when you distracted me earlier and made me crash Fokkusu-sama!"
"Hn, at least nobody saw you little stunt."The former fox lord only scowled back at the young student."Anyways, the abilities that you have are not for showing off. Remember what I have told you two."
"Hai sensei. Power is respected and not scorned."The two blondes said in unison.
"Now that out of the way."The demonic bird master shook his head at the antics of his former leader and Naruto."Anyways, you know when your Houyoku activated, several things happened to your body which we told you. You bones have been strengthened along with your muscles to allow you to fly, you still have to get used to them. Though the wings on both of you should have been gold color. It seemed you have adopted different colors instead it seems."
"Yeah we noticed it though."Mouka looked at the fox lord before turning to Shujaku."Why tell us this when you told us already?"
"Ah, straight to the point."Shujaku chuckled for a moment."Well, you two have come along ways. Right now you two have been doing well with your flight training. We do have a suggestion that you might want to take in consideration."
"What is it?"Naruto now spoken up."Shouldn't we be training right now on our Tenrai Jutsus?"
"Since you two are fairly proficient at flying and will be making longer trips to build up your flight and speed endurance. We suggest you two take up alternative names when you get you new clothes."Shujaku stated the facts out plainly before moving on."You should keep it simple and something significant yet hidden from people."
"Hmmm...I know ."Naruto's face lit up brightly, his eyes shone with excitement."Because my wings are black, I think my alternate name under disguise is Shoushi."
"That fits you bro."Mouka now smiled before thinking what to call himself.'What should I call myself. My wings are crimson red, so...'His thoughts were interrupted by some loud coughing.
"So...?"It was the two former spirit guardians that gave a raised eyebrow waiting for an answer. Mouka smiled at the name he found himself that fit him well like his brother.
"My name is Shinku."Was the only thing that the scarred boy said. He received smiles all around.
Unknown to the two Uzumaki brothers that the names Shinku and Shoushi will be remembered as legends.
Flashback Ends:
Nearby the two sparring brothers was the old man Hokage who watched from the sidelines checking on their progress. It was the white and blonde haired boy attacked first moving almost in a blur. Mouka threw a punch that Naruto blocked easily with his right arm. He countered quickly with a left kick aiming for Mouka's head who bend backwards a bit to avoid the attack. Naruto saw this and stopped mid kick to swing his leg down in a axe kick. Mouka on reflex blocked the incoming attack with his arms crossed above his head and shoved his brother back who flipped backwards a couple times to stop a few away.
Not waiting for his opponent to recover, Naruto went through a couple hand seals before screaming."Doton: Doryû Teppoudama!"
Four bullets of head sized mud was spitted from his mouth straight for Mouka. His reflex allowed him to dodge thanks to Shujaku's training. Mouka zigzagging through the bullets made of earth causing miniature craters on impact behind him. Countering his brother attack, Mouka flew through several hand seals as just like Naruto."Suiton: Suidan Teppoudama!"
This time it was Naruto was the receiving end of the attack as Mouka spitted three cantaloupe sized bullets made of water from his mouth. Naruto on reflex from his own training with Fokkusu leapt backwards out the incoming attack to land a few meters away as the water bullets tore up some of the areas were Naruto stood before.
'Amazing, the two boys did a C-ranked jutsu. I wonder what else they learned.'As the old man watched in awe as the two boys went at it again. This time he noticed boy boys smirked for a moment before both use Shushin no Jutsu and with both their fists collided then broke off to settle opposite to each other.
"Shall we take it up a notch nii-san?"Naruto panted a bit from their sparring before make a wide foxy smile.
"Sure."Mouka only smiled in return. Mouka raised his arm crossed in front of his face while in a slight crouch. Blue chakra began to form around him as wind began to pick up slightly as it grew larger, the flicker of white chakra began to envelope Mouka. Crimson wings sprouted from his back as the flicker from the tenrai chakra died down, his eyes now had horizontal slitted white glowing pupils. Opposite to him, Naruto mirrored the same thing and his wings of pure black appear from his back and yellow chakra swirled around for a moment before disappearing. His own eyes had vertically slitted pupils with low yellow glow.
'That is some chakra they gathered...your sons are becoming powerful like you Minato.'The aged kage smiled inwardly.'I say they are half way to mid-chunin...'
The Sarutobi's thoughts were broken when he felt backlash of wind as the two blond brothers took off into the air. Only the kage could see was a pair of speck began to follow one another before the two brother quickly swooped down low that forced the Hokage to dive for the ground.
"SORRY OLD MAN!!!"Naruto screamed as he pass overhead causing the kage's hat to fly off.."SORRY AGAIN OJI-SAN!!!"Mouka yelled as he chased his high speed brother was the only thing the old man heard.
The old man slowly got up to see the two brothers hovered over the training area staring at each other. He didn't know what was going to happen until he saw both Mouka and Naruto flashed through hand seals at chunin speed and finished with."Tenton: San Kasei!"
Each boy sent three white sheets of flames at each other using their mouths. The white flames converged at a point mid-way between the two boys, on contact causing a big explosion as dust and the smoke envelope the field. This caused the old man cover his eyes from the dust and smoke as he feared for the worse that they gravely injured themselves from their spar if you could call it that. Two shadows crashed to the ground from the force of the explosion. The bearded old man yelled."You two all right! Mouka-kun, Naruto-kun, speak up please!!!"
As the dust and smoke slowly cleared, he noticed two figures slowly emerging from different directions towards him until could see them clearly. Naruto was supporting his right arm with his left as some blood dripped to the ground while he limped on his left leg. Out of the smoke not to far was Mouka, his lip was bleeding as with a huge gash on right leg still managed to limp to the other two people. Cuts and bruises on them that could be seen always happened when they sparred. Naruto and Mouka only smiled at each other before each one fell on their butts exhausted from their fight. Their clothes they wore completely dirty, bloody and torn up. Of course it didn't help that their jacket and t-shirt were damaged since they had no holes to allow their wings to come out.
"What they heck you two think you are doing?"The old man's right eye twitched in annoyances that both boys could have been killed, yet they smiled if nothing happened. He sighed, that they always done it."Since you two are done, very impressive indeed."
"So how we do old man?"Naruto fell back on his back as he panted slowly to regain some strength."I hope we are doing well."
"Yeah, sorry if we kinda went overboard with sparring."Mouka rubbed the back his head sheepishly."Didn't expected to be that close when we did our Tenrai Jutsu, hehe."
"You boys should be more careful from now on, okay."The Hokage gotten nods from the two brothers though he knew they won't follow it."Anyways, I say very impressive. You two have been progress quite well, I say about halfway to mid-chunin. Now, since it has been almost a month, I would like to reward you for your hard work.
"Not only that, I have something to ask you before you enter the academy which I think is very important. For now, get some rest and some sleep, I will return later tonight and show you your reward okay?"The Hokage smiled as he notice the two boys have fallen asleep on the ground. So he picked them up and took them back into the cave for some well deserved rest.
---
It was late night when the Hokage came back to get them. By this time, both Mouka and Naruto have already awaken from their sleep, eating some instant noodle, vegetables and meats that the old man brought the last time he came. Most of the injuries healed except the few bruises they received from the days spar still have not gone. Shujaku and Fokkusu stated it was punishment for doing something 'dumb, stupid and dangerous' in the first place and not to do it again.
"Ah good, you two are awake."The Hokage walked over the two boys and sat down in a chair across from them."So, I will give you the reward that is befitting your progress."
"Heh, what is it! What is it!"Naruto shouted happily until he noticed that the old man didn't have anything when he sat down."Oji-san, you're lying, you don't have anything with you!"Naruto pouted that made his face like a cute angry fox.
"Yeah old man, my bro is right!"Mouka slurped loudly that last of his soup."You didn't bring anything."
The old man only chuckled for a moment before taking a couple puffs from his pipe."Mouka-kun and Naruto-kun, well, considering that your clothes are pretty much destroyed. I assumed that you will need some new clothes that you could use. Also, it is the time of the month I have told you earlier remember."
The eyes on Mouka and Naruto widen when the old man was telling them. They didn't realized that it was the end of the month already and the old man came to get them some new gear for their work.
"Alright!"Both Mouka and Naruto did high-fives in front of the laughing Hokage man who noticed the two boy's eyes shone with happiness since they began living in the cave. Ocean blue eyes that seemed to shiny while sky blue eyes seemed to glitter silver.
"Ah, so you do remember. Well, we have to go back to Kohona to buy your presents."The old man gotten up and headed out the cave entrance stopped when he realized the two boys didn't move from the 'kitchen area' of the cave.
"W...we going to back to the village?"Naruto eyes was downcast from the happy mood before."You know what happen if we go to stores."
"You know we don't want to make trouble for just presents oji-san."Mouka said in a somber sad voice."We don't wantl cause you trouble or the store."
"Hehe, don't worry. I have place in mind. Besides, I need to ask you something special when we go buy your new presents."The old man Sarutobi gave a reassuring smile as he left the cave followed by the blond Uzumakis.
---
It took about thirty minutes to return to the village of Kohona. Since it was close 10:30 pm, North Gate was normally pretty quiet at this time of night when the old man returned with his two visitors. The gate entrance was man by two ANBUs that originally helped moved them outside the village nodded in silence as the three passed through the entrance. The Hokage thought it was best the ANBUs to supervise the gate for that night so no one witness the boys arrival and departure for this particular night.
"So where we going oji-san."Naruto said loudly, only to slap in the back of the head from Mouka."Ow!"
"Bro, keep it down. Remember what the old man said!"Mouka hissed at his brother for his raised voice.
"Oi! Gomen nii-san!"Naruto quietly said while sheepishly rubbed his head forgetting that they were to be discreet about returning to the village as the Hokage wanted. Mouka sighed and shook his head with a small smile.
Both knew they where excited they were getting knew stuff in the village for tonight before they had to leave again. The three now silent figures moved swiftly up and down several streets until they ended up near a nondescript building not too far from the tall Hokage's Tower. A simple wooden sign hung of the entrance way with kanjis for 'Hondo's Uchimono'. The Hokage entered the store followed by the two blondes. Inside the store, the two young brothers were surprised to see the difference. On the outside of the store was nothing fancy or even make it stand out to what was on the inside was an understatement. The interior was fairly large and quite clean. One side of the store was several rows of shinobi sold clothing while the other side of the store was more cluttered but in an organized fashion with many weapons of different kinds set about. At the front cashier was a burly man with short thick brown hair with black eyes wearing a white t-shirt and black shinobi pants. He twitched the corner of his mouth upwards underneath his moustache as the Hokage motioned the two boys to browse the shop as the old man Haokage approached the owner.
"Hello Hondo-san."As the bearded kage bowed as the scruffy looking man behind the counter smiled."It has been awhile since I been in here you know."As the Hokage pointed to large number of stocks that lined the store.
"Hokage-sama, you are always welcome, considering that you helped me open this store and get recommendation for business."The owner flashed his clean white teeth in a smile before nodding to the two boys currently looking through the clothing rack."So those two are..."
The old man nodded at the two oblivious boys before glancing back at Hondo."Yes, Mouka-kun knows everything and told Naruto-kun, but that something else next time. The Uzumaki brothers are very much like their father with some smart attitude of their mother I should say."The bearded old man took a couple puffs from his famous pipe before chuckling."They have started to exceed their father much faster than I have thought."
"Interesting, they know most of it?"The mustached man whispered back so the boys didn't hear as the Hokage only nodded."So you told them what their father did before he became Yondaime?"
"No not yet, only the name, I was going to ask after they gotten their new presents."The Hokage smiled as he watched Naruto picked something black out off a rack while Mouka nodded then smile at Naruto.
"Those two are going to be interesting you know."The brown haired owner smirked."If you say they are like their parents. Let me go introduce myself."
The older ninjas left the counter and made their way to the two boys. Naruto held up a black muscle t-shirt and pants looking over them a couple times putting it with the rest of the clothing that he chosen. Down at the end of row of shinobi clothing was Mouka who had his own small pile on a chair. Taking mostly crimson red that befitted his alternative name as Naruto chosen black.
"So how you boys find the shinobi clothing so far?"The old owner stood with the Hokage. The two boys nodded in some apprehension."Don't worry you two. Hokage-sama and I go back a long ways. So feel free to chose what you need."
"Thank you Hondo-san!"Both boys nodded and smiled at the kind owner. Only the second such person. The other was the old man Teuchi from the ramen stand."Don't call me Hondo-san. Makes me feel like an old geezer."The owner returned the smile with his own.
"Let's see what you two have chosen so far shall we?"The old man Hokage smiled that the two brothers found someone to accepted them as humans.
---
It took almost an hour and half for Mouka and Naruto have chosen the new clothing they would be using. The store owner checked out the shinobi clothing that the two boys picked out and told them the modifications were needed to allow their wings to emerge without damaging the clothing itself. It wasn't a difficult process as Hondo explained as he had experience in that part. It only took about an hour to make the changes.
"So here you go boys. I add the slits and cover where your wings will emerge."Hondo smiled and pointed to a t-shirt."This is your first set, so I could guess you will need a couple of more when you get bigger and older later on which I will send to you."
"Thank you, Honda-san."Naruto bowed in respect."How we are to can we repay you?"
"Actually, Naruto before we come to that. There is something I would like ask you and your brother."The old man walked up next the store owner. The '-kun' dropped from his name meant something serious that caught the two boys attention."What I am going to talk about to you must stay between us only."
"Hai."The two boys didn't know what to reply in return and only nodded in a 'yes' to the old man's request.
"This is about your family history and Kohona. After the First Shinobi War, Kohona was founded by the 13 clans and the Shodaime was chosen. The village flourished but soon after the two main clans believed that the village should be ruled by the strongest clan."The Hokage puffed from his pipe before continuing."It was the Uchiha and Hyuuga clan that sought to rule for Kohona. Fighting broke out between the two clans. Fights, killing and assassinations escalated to a point where small clans and families began to chose sides in a civil war that broken out."
"Why didn't the Shodaime stopped the fighting or the killings? Didn't they have the Police or ANBUs?"Mouka asked in surprised that a civil war erupted in the same peaceful village of Kohona.
"It was a dark period at the time, there was no ANBUs, only the Military Police. Loyalty to ones clan or family above the good of the village when it came to power."The old man sadly shook his head just as the store owner lowered his head."The Shodaime couldn't not do much as things spiraled out of control. A man approached the Shodaime about the crisis and told him the village he fell in love was dying because of lust of power. The man suggested to make a group that was dedicated protect the people but the ideals that created the village. The group operated independently, they will show up as a ghost when needed then disappear, but the members hidden their identity so nobody can target family or friends while working as a Kohona no Senji. The group was able to halt killings and the assassinations containing the civil war until it was settled by the Shodaime. They were nins who held similar ideals to that of the Shodaime and that who commanded them. The only thing that was recognizable as a member was a symbol of a sword conjoined with two wings."
The Hokage paused for a moment to let the story to sink in as he continued."This group continued to operated even after the ANBU was formed until the Nidaime, they disbanded until they are needed by the Hokage or the descendants who created the group. It was not until the Third Great War erupted the group was reformed under one particular person before he became a Hokage. This group protected Kohona from its greatest enemy at that time from within and out..."
"You're talking about Kohona no Senji aren't you oji-san? Our father commanded for a time against Iwagakure."Mouka gaped at the fact presented by the old man."The history you wanted to talk to us about."
"Yes, your great grandfather created the Kohona no Senji and your father resurrected it during the war."The Hokage smiled to see Mouka realized what he was talking about."The rumors of angels in Kohona also existed. Thanks to your great grandfather and father. Hondo-san knew your father and his wings."
"So that's why Hondo says he knew how to modify our clothing so easily."Naruto said loudly as he looked at the store owner who sheepishly grinned in returned.
The middle-aged store owner he looked at the Hokage and back to the two boys."Yup, I knew you father."
"What does this have to do with us oji-san?"Mouka turned to the old man with confusion on his face.
"Actually, there are a couple reasons I am talking you about this part of your family history."The old man looked at the two boys to make sure he had their attention."The first reason, your father left an account with Hondo-san's store when he resurrected the Kohona no Senji. The second reason, I believe you two are ready for which can help you in the long run when you join the academy."
"Heh, what you mean more important thing you talking about oji-san?"Mouka looked at the old man with a raised eyebrow before he caught sigh from the store owner."What's the matter Hondo-san?"
"The account your father setup as Hokage-sama said was to be used by the members of the Kohona no Senji when they need supplies."Hondo sighed before making a faint smile under his mustache.
The Hokage only nodded to the store owner's statement before continuing his earlier reasons."Mouka-kun, Naruto-kun, I know that both of you declined to assume your parent's inheritance because you want to earn the respect of the village, correct?"The Hokage asked as he observed the two brothers reaction and receiving none."So, may I suggest you reform the Kohona no Senji instead which is your right which as the Hokage I approve of. As leaders and members of the Kohona no Senji, just like ANBU, partake in missions gaining experience, earn respect until you decide to reveal yourselves. Also, you will be able to earn money on the side for missions."
"Hey oji-san, how can we do that since we are not genins let alone academy students!"Naruto pouted and looked at the two older men ."Wouldn't that be bad for my nii-san and I? Even if we did, are we even ready for it?"
"Yeah old man, my bro is right you know."Mouka sighed at the solution, but the old man was right about two things. First, they could earn mission money without 'tainting' their parents name. More importantly, they will be able to protect those closest to them, experience as a shinobi and respect of the villagers without them knowing until he and Naruto ready to do so.
'Are we really ready to do something like this?'The thought came to Mouka's mind when the Hokage presented his solution.'Maybe we could, the old man did say we did well. At least, I will be able to protect Sakura-chan and stand by her even from a far.'
Mouka was pulled out of his thoughts trying to piece the pros and cons when Naruto poked him in the ribs."Hey nii-san, I think we should do this! Believe it!"
"That hurt bro, so you think we should don't you?"Mouka rubbed his rib for a bit looking as Naruto rubbed his neck sheepishly."So, my bro says we should do it. Question though, how we take missions, who will be our contacts, will be getting a team or something and..."
"Let me answers those and others."The hokage raised a hand to stop Mouka's hail of questions shaking his head."The two of you will be given acting rank of genin or even chunin under special field commissions, this will allow to do a given mission. Also, if certain condition are meet during your acting assignment, a full commission is granted. Since I considered you were home tutored and meeting basic requirements of academy students that you showed today during your spar this is allowed. All of this will be only known those present. As for contacts and teams, I will be your contact, as for teams, you two will be a two man cell, but will be given back-up, I know who are perfect for that."
"Eh, who will be our backup considering we only kids oji-san, all shinobi will not help us if we get into trouble, let alone follow our orders or such."Mouka lowered his head solemnly while Naruto only nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry about that. I have some people in mind. Also, I will make sure that ANBU to be aware Kohona no Senji are back."The old placed a hand on each of Mouka and Naruto' shoulders."So what you two say."
Mouka looked down at the floor for a moment his eyes closed in thought for a moment before looking up in to deep blue eyes. There was no hesitation in his brother's eyes, only determination and pride to be a Kohona no Senji, a protector like their dad before he became Hokage, the same route that Naruto was taking caused Mouka smile before looking back at the two older men."We'll do it like our old man! Count on it!"
"It seems they are like their old man."Honda laughed at the two boys cheerful disposition at the moment from before.
"So you two have chose a sword yet? Why don't you guys chose one and will order stuff you will be needing as well. Okay?"The Hokage motioned to the weapons section of the store. The blondes didn't wait as they quickly disappeared into the racks of weapons.
---
Mouka and Naruto wandered through the first two aisle of weapons. There were many kinds of weapons that the white and blonde haired boy recognized, some he didn't. One thing for sure, they were definitely many to choose from.
"Hey nii-san, what kind of sword do we need?"Naruto examined the racks of weapons they slowly went up and down the aisle."What should we be getting?"
"Hmm..."Mouka stopped in his tracks for a moment thinking of the answer.'Good question. The weapon have to long enough to use in flight and on the ground, but in close quarters. Smaller weapon would be needed.'Mouka thought of weapons he could use.
"Good thinking fledging. A large weapon for open areas and a backup weapons."Shujaku commented on Mouka's thoughts."Maybe, you might to ask Fokkusu a couple elemental sword techniques or ask the old man later."
'Okay Shujaku-sama.'Mouka returned the thought.
"Hey Naruto, we need a large sword we can use in flight and on the ground but also a smaller weapon as well."Mouka noticed that Naruto was down at the end of the aisle who stopped in front of particular stand that obscured Mouka's view."You seeing something interesting bro?"
The blonde whisker brother slightly nodded, not to Mouka's question but to something else. He reached with both hands taking a particular large sword from the display rack."Do you mean something like this nii-san?"
The only thing Mouka did was stood dumbfounded, his jaw hit the ground looking at what Naruto held with both hands in front of him. It was something he thought never made in this world only fantasy, then again, what happened to Mouka was real, so why not the weapon. Naruto only grinned at Mouka's lost of words. The sword was very large compare to Naruto, it had a 30 inch blade with an eight inch width and eleven inch handle. The blade itself was dull grey with a black cutting edge. Six holes ran down opposite to the cutting edge and three holes at the base of the blade. Mouka realized the sword was awfully similar to something he saw long time ago from a show. What was the character's name? Sky? No. Air? No. It was Cloud!
Mouka now smirked at the sight of Naruto holding the sword that was tall as him."That somehow suit you very well bro. Let me guess. Fokkusu told you to chose that sword for it's size?"
"Hehe, not exactly, size was part of it, he said, I might be able channel chakra into it. Maybe our affinity, whatever Fokkusu-sama means."Naruto smiled at the smirk from his brother."I guess go looking for a smaller weapon now."Naruto sheathed the sword again and took it with him as he went to search of a smaller companion.
It was Mouka turn to look for a weapon that can channel chakra or elemental affinity that Fokkusu-sama pointed out to Naruto. It took another 15 minutes, Mouka wandered to the back of the store that something caught his attention from the corner of his eye. It was another weapon he seen vaguely from a different anime he seen that looked like a cross from a halberd and a sword. He wondered if the animators from his second life and blacksmiths here were the same people. The large sword what Mouka figured was about 44 inches in total. The blade itself was little over two feet and nine inches wide with a slightly wider guard. The handle was almost foot and half long with a crescent moon pummel. The name of the user was Inuyasha? No, if he remember correctly belonged to another fictional anime character who lead the Shichinintai. What caught his attention was the blade was red and the bladed edge was white. The handle was also wrapped in a red leather bindings.
"What are these?"Beneath where the sword hung was two weapons that were different but recognizable to a shinobi. He reached out and pulled the two weapons from there sheathes. Holding a weapon in each hand he took noticed that they looked like kunai only that the blade was just under a foot long and flatten out similar to a sword. Mouka peerless looked along the silver edge of the crimson red blades. The ends of each kunai blade had the signature o-ring. The kunai or sword what ever they were, quite well balanced in his hands as he held them.'These are nice along with the sword.'Mouka thought as looked at each weapon.'Wonder if old man will allow me to get these. Along with a bow for hunting?'
His thoughts were interrupted by a cough. Mouka turned around to see Naruto holding a kodachi sword, the old man Sarutobi and Hondo standing there. The store owner noticed Mouka holding the two blades in his hands."Be careful, those weapons are dangerous if you don't handle them properly."
Without warning, the blonde with X-shaped scar twirled the left one followed be the right one then both at the same time. The light from the store ceiling played off the crimson blades before Mouka stopped twirling the two blades holding them in a reverse grip in front of him arms crossed in a guard stance. He failed to noticed the three people in front stood gaping at what Mouka just done, the Hokage almost dropped his pipe, while his brother did the goldfish face and the owner stood like a his brain went into meltdown.
"H..how you do that?"The hokage was the first to ask the question.
"Yeah, nii-san, you got to teach me that!"Naruto said cheefully to find Mouka knew how use swords as clasped a hand on Mouka's shoulder
"How you do that with the dueling blades?"The owner broke out his stupor as Mouka put the dueling blades back into their sheathes."Only two other people I know who can dual wield blades. One is not here in Kohona and the other Sarutobi Asuma, the Hokage's son."
"So that's what they are? Very cool."Mouka said nonchalantly."Actually, my former sensei taught me how to use single and two sword fight for four months using wooden swords for practice."
"Interesting, I assume you would like the those three particular weapons along what your brother has chosen?"The owner smiled to see the weapon now have use for someone.
"Hondo-san, I will need four packs of shurikens, kunais, one pack of exploding tags and about ten yard of ninja wires as well if you don't mind."As the Hokage turned to Hondo glancing at Mouka.'Is he keeping secrets still or that just something he forgot to mention.'The Sarutobi thought, then again it could just that. Something just simply forgotten.
"Is that all Hokage-sama? I will be able to get everything ready in about three days after I add the emblems for our new Kohona no Senji, ne?"The younger man looked as he wrote the order down on a pad.
"Before I forget, could you add something to my swords and jacket? Hondo-san?"Mouka now turned to look at the owner furiously writing down the orders."Would it be possible put picture of a blossoming sakura tree on the back with a an angel underneath the tree if not to much trouble? Also could you add a hankyû to the list, for hunting purposes."
"Not at all, I assume Naruto, you want something different?"Hondo looked at Naruto who eagerly nodded."Well, I think it will take me about extra three days. As for the other stuff, I will have ready for you in about two days.
"Arigato, Honda-san!"The two blondes cheered happily.
"I am not that old!"This caused an eye twitched in the store owner while the Hokage only smiled as they made the final purchases.

Timeskip: Three months later...
The old man was happy that the Uzumaki brothers have taken the same path as is their father to be able to protect the most precious to them. As he said during the meeting in 'Hondo's Uchimono', the Hokage had given them acting rank of genin by simple probationary D-rank missions once a weeks, fly patrol over Kohona and observe any criminal activity, though Naruto and Mouka were tempted to engage a couple of time but the old man said they will be allowed to after a couple more missions were under their belt. Of course, already the old bearded kage told them that a rumor was spreading about two angelic beings with no clear description appearing over Kohona.
'Maybe this night they have action instead someone else catch the bad guys.'Naruto thought as he stood opposite to his brother.'At least we can watch and protect Hinata-chan and Sakura as the old man said.'
The two boys huffed as they attacked and parried each other with wooden swords that Mouka had fashioned together. Mouka and Naruto were able to start training with the weapons that Hokage had gotten them not including the swords. Though the white and blonde haired brother decided to wait before training with the large sword and focus on dual weapons training. Naruto didn't hide his stubbornness and disappointment they he could use his 'big' sword for training only to receive slap on the back of the head. The agitated brother explained the weapons were to big to wield effectively even they could hold them in two hands not one. The embarrassed Naruto only nodded that Mouka was right the weapons are still too large for to use. Mouka assured the will be able to in another half year or so at the earliest. In the mean time they began training which now included a kenjutsu style that Mouka's old sensei Raicoh taught, was part of their regimen. The Hokage even helped the boys learn to throw shuriken and kunais properly. As for the hankyû, Mouka told them he wanted more efficient way of hunting game. Of course nobody knew the basic of using a bow, it took Mouka almost two weeks of painful 'whap' the drawstring from the bow if not properly used until he learned the proper grip and stance. After that, Mouka and Naruto once a week went hunting for game.
"So you heard what oji-san said."Naruto stopped his kenjutsu spar with his brother and sat on the grass to cool down."Apparently, some high-strung people from Kumogakure are coming to visit."
"Wait did you say Kumogakure?"Mouka was panting from their two training session with single wooden swords."What they doing here? Did oji-san mention anything?"
The whiskered blonde only rubbed his chin in thought going through his memory of what the old man told him before shaking his head."Don't think he said anything other than important meeting with its kage."
"Hmm...maybe we visit the old man later tonight shall we?"Mouka gotten up from his place on the ground."I am going to take a quick shower, you do the same after I am done because you stink."
"Hey!"Naruto jumped up to chase Mouka who took off running for the cave.
---
Dusk has fallen and the stars started to slowly appeared over Kohona. Many residents have gone home for dinner or restaurants. A man of medium height stood in the shadow of the alleyway with a single observing grey eye, his hitae-ate covered his right eye he lost. The hotel where the rest of his party stayed courtesy of the Hokage was to his right. The meeting between his party and the Hokage have finished some hours ago. Of course this meeting was a two prong purpose for his village. The first was the distraction of the Hokage while certain members of the party had other obligations.
"So it took you long enough before you come."The left eye cyclops said in low rumble as felt movement behind him."So, is everything ready?"
"Yes."The conspirator stepped out from the shadows to see the cyclops with a black beard."I will be reward if this works?"
The conspirator wore a black ki that allowed him to blend into the shadows. His face hidden by a half-mask leaving his scarred chin exposed."I have completed my part of the plan for tonight. I assume you can do the rest?"
The one-eyed man nodded."You will be well paid after this as long you are not exposed in this pursuit. We might more profitable venture if this works out for you."
"Good, I get my revenge. They will feel the pain."The scarred man spatted venomously."I better get going before someone notices."
The black bearded man nodded before the other disappeared in a swirl of leaves.'This will be like taking candy from a baby.'The one-eyed man smiled inward evilly before he to disappeared in swirl of smoke.
---
They came in on silent wings as much as the wind blew. None took noticed of when they came. Only sound was the quiet flapping of wings and feathers as they flew through the clear night sky. The height they came in at was enough they could be mistaken the shadows for night birds as they approached the Hokage's Tower yet those who flew could see the ground quite clearly as day in partial to their 'tenants'. On the final approach to the tower, they glided the rest to minimize the noise until they landed on the balcony that lead into the Hokage's office. The two of them saw light coming from the office as one reached the door handle and strode in followed by the other.
"What you two doing here!"The old man slightly startled looked up from his dreaded paperwork as he quickly shoved his prized book into his desk."You guys going to give me a heart-attack you know!"
There stood in front of him were the two Uzumaki brothers. Only those two use the balcony entrance and nobody else. Naruto had on a open black long leather coat, a weighted black hood kept his blonde hair as well most of his face hidden underneath it. On the right shoulder of the leather jacket was the symbol of Kohona no Senji while on the left was Kanji for 'Protect'. On the back of the leather coat was a picture of a sunrise and a angel hovering over it and white flames on the bottom of the coat. A chunin style leather vest could be seen over his black muscle t-shirt and black mesh, hidden underneath the leather coat was his kodaichi strapped in a reverse grip on his back. He wore black leather pants with built in weapons holsters and combat boots. Both of Naruto's hands had fingerless leather gloves. A half mask of black mesh also covered the lower part of Naruto's face to hide his whisker marks.
Standing next to Naruto was Mouka who could not be recognized when looking at him. Mouka unlike Naruto, wore an open crimson red long leather coat. His weighted crimson hood obscured most of his upper face and hidden his white and blonde hair completely. A red mesh mask hidden the lower half of Mouka's face from view. The right breast of the coat was the symbol of Kohona no Senji, while on each shoulder was the Kanji 'Protect', on the back of the coat was a picture of a blossoming sakura tree, underneath was an angel with wings spread out. A chunin like vest was worn by Mouka and red muscle t-shirt clearly show his body's outline. Hidden underneath his leather coat strapped to his back was his dueling blades with the handles in the down position. He wore dark red leather pants and black combat boots with metallic buckles. On each leg was a kunai holster while on the belt was two shuriken pouches. He wore black fingerless gloves to complete the outfit.
Immediately, a pair of ANBUs burst into the room with their weapons drawn."What's wrong Hokage-sama!"A man with silver hair and wolf said with urgency."Hokage-sama, everything alright?"
"Intruders!"The green haired companion with a eagle mask pointed her kunai at the two young leather clad boys.
The Hokage held up his hand motioning for eagle masked woman to halt in her tracks."They are not intruders considering they are Kohona no Senji."
The two boys turned to see the bodyguards of the Hokage. In turn, the ANBU stared at the symbol on their leather coats that seemed to put the ANBU at ease. The crimson wearing boy turned to look a the old man."We would like expand our duties if that is possible Hokage-sama for our next mission?"
The black clad boy nodded to his brother's question. The old man leaned back chuckled at the two boys and smiled."Of course, the mission tonight is to patrol Kohona and ensure no trouble start. We have guests that have come to Kohona from important meeting earlier."
"Hokage-sama, are they from Kumogakure?"The crimson hooded boy looked at his partner before looking at the old kage."My partner told me they are in town?"
"Yes, they are here for a formal peace treaty? Why you ask?"The old man stared intently at the Mouka waiting for answer."Something the matter?"
'Wait they are here for a treaty? How come this event feels familiar?'Mouka went through his memories. Bits and pieces came only that a young black haired boy was crying over a body of man that oddly looks familiar to both him and Naruto. The body of the man had burnt holes in his head where eyes should have been. A symbol flashed in his mind that represented Kumogakure.'There is something wrong...'
"Hokage-sama, could you tell me if Kumogakure possess any Dojutsu in the village?"Mouka glanced in the direction of Naruto who caught the urgency in his brother's sky blue orbs, began to move for the balcony doors.
"Actually, Kumogakure don't have Dojutsu ever since the war."The Hokage was now puzzled by Naruto heading for the balcony without a word.
Mouka moved towards the door realizing what was going to happen from the old man's answer. The old Hokage's voice stopped Mouka in his tracks."There is something wrong isn't there?"
Already, Naruto unfurled his wings of midnight black against the glittering stars as he stepped though onto the balcony. Mouka stopped in the doorway before glancing over his shoulder once."I hope there is not because pain will follow for some people I know."
"I will have your backup ready then. Be careful Crimson. Midnight."The Hokage said as the ANBU watched in awe as pair of crimson wing sprouted from the mysterious boy like other as they both flew off to a unnamed location.
"Who are they? Are they.."The green haired woman in a the eagle stuttered to what she saw.
The silver haired man with the wolf mask finished the line of thought of his partner."They are Kohona no Tenshi aren't they?"
"Yes."The Hokage leaned back to take puffs of his pipes and nodded."Angel of Crimson and Angel of Midnight, of the Vanguard. Wolf, Eagle, assemble a ANBU squad for emergency standby."
"Hai! So the rumors are true, the Angels of Kohona."The green haired women bowed along with the man before they left the office in a swirl of leaves.
The Hokage waited until the two ANBU guards have left. He opened his desk drawer then pressed the intercom button and talked into it."Furukizu, Kuraku. An ANBU team is being put on emergency standby for Crimson and Midnight. I want you with the ANBU team."
Static could be heard for a second before a woman's voice replied from the other side."Hai, Hokage-sama!"
---
The girl was truly frighten for a second time in her life. The first was her mother almost dying for no reason but was saved by an unlikely blonde duo. She wondered if she will see them again, her Naruto was banned from her life. Yet she thought of him constantly as the friends she could see, namely Sakura and Ino. She worried about what Ino have said in private about Naruto being heartbroken followed by Mouka. Tragedy seemed to followed the blonde brothers in almost every aspect of their life. Now, she feared what had happened to her, that her father will hate her for letting it happen. Her father began to become cold since her sister was born, she didn't know why it started. First, she was forbidden to see Naruto. The second, she was began training as a kunoichi very hard by her own father.
Those were her only thoughts of love with a blonde boy, heartache of not seeing him and regret of disappointing her father. She only saw a blur in the night, not fast enough to alert guards or defend herself. Here she was blindfolded, gagged and bound being carried from her home.
"Too bad, a bet you will become a looker when you are older. More the better since you will be good breeding."The man's voice gravelly and low. She was now scared what will happen to her, being used to bred Byukagan from his meaning.
"Now time for us to leave this pitiful place."The man said roughly as he jostled his hostage. She knew she was being carried and seemed to be outside as she felt the cool night air and the smell of dew.
The young female hostage felt a powerful gust of wind before the man jostled her for a moment before he stopped in his tracks for unknown reasons until he spoke,"No...it can't be. You supposed to be gone and dead, no more than rumors. How?!?!"
From the wavering voice of her captor that he meet something he seen before in his lifetime.'Who could it be? Someone came to rescue me?'The young Hyuuga girl thought and was broken out of it by a voice that was familiar to her somehow.
"Stop, Kohona no Senji are here to arrest you for crimes against Kohona!"A young male's voice unwavering in it's command.
---
The crimson clad boy took lead towards one of the largest compounds in Kohona. Not far off was Naruto glancing every so often at his partner and brother Mouka."What's going on Shinku? Where are we going?"
"Trouble with the Hyuuga, I am sure of it Shoushi."Mouka replied to the undercover name used instead of their real names."That's were we headed right now!"
The red angel picked up sped with his partner close behind. They approached the Hyuuga compound above circling above to see if any thing was amiss that night were soon rewarded by shouts followed by screaming of 'kidnapped and intruders' as Hyuuga guards where moving south. Naruto caught sight of something below just within the shadows of compound wall heading in the opposite direction. Mouka saw Naruto nodded in the direction of a shadow that quickly hid itself against the wall trying to hide from the Hyuuga guards that were presently searching the grounds for the intruder. Naruto made a steep dive for the hidden figure along the wall followed by Mouka. At that speed at which he held, Naruto blasted above the man causing the man shield his eyes almost losing his balance while carrying his hostage.
The stunned man stopped his movement just as he left the shadow to head into the forest only to see Naruto hover over the ground. He pointed with a finger at the hovering boy."No...it can't be. You supposed to be gone and dead, no more than rumors. How?!?!"
The figure never saw them coming until heard the shout from Naruto."Halt, Kohona no Senji are here to arrest you for crimes against Kohona!"
"You are not going to escape."Naruto landed on the ground quietly his wings of black disappeared into his body.
The man regained his composure only to see Naruto standing there by himself and smirked."You just a boy. Nothing more, you can't stop me alone. I might kill you just for fun and take this Hyuuga heiress!"
The blood ran cold in Naruto when he heard the Hyuuga and heiress. He knew it was only one person that, it was Hinata-chan. The white-eyed girl whom liked him for what he was. He felt the same for her just as much. Now, she was in danger from this masked nin and he was going to save her like he promised to protect her. The blonde whiskered protector growled lowly was about to reach for his kodachi on his back stopped realizing he could hurt Hinata with his weapon.'I can't use my sword. I might hit Hinata-chan.'Naruto thought as he noticed something from the back shadows that only made him smile.
"So, it was true that Kohona no Tenshi are real."The man only sneered at the motionless boy in front of him. The hostage taker failed to realized a second body that was coming up behind him."So boy, how you going to rescue your heiress and arrest me before you die by yourself?"
"He's not..."A voice came from behind him that caught the kidnapper off guard who turned around. Only heard the words."Tenton: Taiyoufurea!"
The surprised nin turned around to face the voice only blinded by flash of bright light. The jutsu was only a D-class, mostly for defensive purpose to temporarily blind an opponent to either escape or in this case attack.
"Arrrgggg...You brats!"The man screamed once. As he put both hands on his face dropping his package only to be swiftly caught by Naruto when his brother's jutsu went off.
The hostage felt being dropped to the ground but never felt the hard ground only a strong chest and arms holding her up. Eventually she was put down on the ground by her savior, she couldn't see anything until her blind and gag came off only to stare into familiar blue eyes. His lower half of his face was hidden under a black meshed mask. She noticed that rest of his outfit was black like his mask hidden mostly his identity. His voice was soothing when he spoke."You alright Hinata-chan."
That voice, it can't be his could it. Hinata stared and blushed for a moment before she stuttered a bit."N...Naruto, is that you?"
The young black clad boy realized his mistake while under disguise had to quick fix it when he used her usual name."I am sorry, but my name is Shoushi, Kohona no Tenshi, one of two leaders of the Kohona no Senji."
"Y...your not Naruto?"Hinata still blushed at the closeness of this mysterious boy that saved her. The young boy was vaguely familiar yet he called his himself Shoushi and was completely dress differently then Naruto's orange jumpsuit.
Naruto watched with some amusement at the confusion on Hinata's face.'Wow, she still cute even more so with her stutter.'Naruto blushed but his mask hidden it.'I wish I could tell her.'
"Hey, Midnight. She alright?"A another voice caught the attention of Hinata and saw another young boy dressed all in crimson. They seemed to be about the same height and voices. The one in red called her savior Midnight. The boy in black returned with a nod as he untied the bindings from Hinata."She's alright Crimson."
She was helped up by the hands of Naruto who both blushed at the contact. They were still looking into each others eyes until they were interrupted by an angry yell."You brats will die! Raiton: Denkou Bakuha!"
The would be kidnapper was pissed that he lost his package, even worse, something he meet long ago that disappeared had returned that cost his right eye. Many hidden villages thought was no more than a myth started in Kohona, yet reports of an angel fighting against Iwa during the last great war. Now stood in front of him were two 'so-called tenshi and members of Kohona no Senji'. The aggressor blew a single large lightning bolt from his mouth at the interlopers. Without thinking or looking, Mouka used Shunshin no jutsu pushed both Naruto and Hinata out of the way of a thunderbolt only to hit by a strong explosion. The force of the explosion caused Mouka to disappear in the smoke and debris before landing on the ground from a distance. The cuts and bruises from that one attack seriously hindered Mouka. The price of not doing anything was too high and Mouka was not going let it stop him. The white and blonde haired angel struggled to get up as his injuries began to heal. His clothes were tattered and his body ached, falling a couple of times, but he put the pain out his mind.
'Some powerful technique.'Mouka thought, as he slowly tried to get up.'He's a jounin for sure. I need to get up! Naruto be careful!'
"Haha...I just killed two Senjin? That's pathetic."The man slowly began to move forward as the cloud and dust began to clear. Only surprised to see a the black clad kid had survived the attack and not see the other. The one called Midnight shielded Hinata from the blast but was not knocked unconscious from the force. "So you have survived, not for much longer."
Naruto stood up with his back facing the intruder. In a low growl almost like a fox"You will pay for that!"
"Like you ca..."Before the nin kidnapper finished his sentence. The black clad boy vanished and reappeared in front of him kicking him in the face causing him to stagger.
Nauto kept up his assault with flurry of kicks only to be avoided by the unknown nin before he lept away from the attacking boy."You will not get away with it!"Naruto went through his own hand seals before calling."Doton: Doryû Teppoudama!"
The nin intruder easily dodged the attacks as he charged the young inexperienced boy and struck with a might swing sending backwards Naruto onto the ground only to sit up in a crouch. Naruto growled realizing that he can't beat the jounin alone and already injured from the first attack from masked jounin.'Crap, I can't use any of Tenrai Jutsu this close, it will injure not only me but Hinata-chan to!'Was the only thought on Naruto's mind when he glanced at the unconscious heiress.
"Ah, it seems you have a thing for the little flower don't you?"The nin smirked at what he saw and charged for the unconscious girl ready to strike her with his fist only to hit Naruto who moved to intercept the blow sending him flying backwards into a tree with an audible thud.
"Haha. Such weakness."The nin laughed underneath his mask only to die down when he saw a bloodied Naruto stand up slowly falling a few times not giving up.
"You will not touch her you bastard!"Naruto yelled out as he struggled to get up onto one knee, his injuries were slowly healing. He reached behind his back underneath his coat but held it there ready to take out his kodaichi in a single move. Naruto felt chakra that was known to him. The man in front of ignored the faint chakra thinking the other is dead or no consequence. Naruto smiled underneath his mask who returned with an angry glare."You are going down."
"I am going to kill you, not strong enough to beat me brat!"The enraged nin flew through several hand seals."Raiton: Denkou Dokujuin!"A dagger made of lightning sizzled with sparks grew in intensity from the man's left hand. The man stalked menacingly forward raising the blade ready to strike with brutality."Your life ends here brat. Kohona no Senji are nothing more than a myth."
---
'No you don't you bastard, you will not harm my family or friends.'Mouka thought as he saw the unknown man approached his brother. Using his Shunshin no Jutsu appeared in front of the kidnapper just as he stepped back.
---
The blade of electricity came down at Naruto who didn't even move from his position from the assailant. In a quick swing of his kodaichi caused the unaware nin to backup from the blade, this left Naruto open to a counterattack the masked nin thought. He never felt any thing only splash of blood against his chest and face sprayed from the mouth of the kidnapper. In a flash of blades, Mouka was between Naruto and the unnamed nin stopping his attack mid swing. A dueling blade had pierced the left shoulder, the other struck low in the stomach. Only sound was the droplets of blood from the injured nin while his jutsu in his left hand fizzled out.
"H...how?"The wounded nin coughed up blood as tried to talk.
Everything was silent until Mouka pushed the nin kidnapper off his blades as blood gushed out of the wounds, the would be kidnapper fell to both knees before Naruto spoke for both of them."We are Kohona no Senji and also Kohona no Tenshi. We are the protectors of Kohona, that's we are born to do. That's are nindo, a promise we made."
The kidnapper only nodded numbly before sagging to the ground. Mouka turned to see Naruto shakily stand up with his kodaichi in hand."You alright bro? You look like crap."
"Heh, you don't look too hot yourself considering what hit you."Naruto put his kodaichi away before limped over to the unconscious form of Hinata and picked her up bridal style."What a bloody mess."
Mouka sighed cleaning his blades before sent out a chakra spike alerting backup and the Hyuugas, they heard shouting from the compound coming this way, several puffs appeared in front of the trio and motionless body of the kidnapper.
'What a fine mess I cause isn't it.'Mouka thought of his action and what might happened.'Hopefully the kidnapper does not die before hand.'

A/N:Another chapter done for this story. Sorry if it is a long one, but can't be helped for this part. The brothers are only a month or so before turning eight years old and reform what their father did before he became hokage. We found out something about what Mouka and Naruto great grandfather did. As for the weapons chosen, I hope people recognize what weapons are being used since the some clues I have left behind. It makes easier for people to picture what the Uzumaki brothers are using. Also, the two of them can carry the swords with two hands, but not actually swing them or use them until they are older. So the reason they chose smaller weapons for use until they get older. Not going to have little kids running around with mega weapons lol. I hope the fight with the Cloud jounin is reasonable considering that Naruto and Mouka are half way to mid chunin. I also put a tiny bit of NaruHina fluff even though Hinata and everybody else don't know who they are. You can see the start of rumors of the Angels and the Myth that do exist in Kohona where people seen and heard them but don't know who they are. Next chapter: Reunions and Academy years (not to long I hope).
