Ch 11: Family Ties
That night Novera and Sidra were just finished dinner when their dad spoke up.
Edmond Anshu was an ANBU at the moment working along with Ibiki who was the head of Interrogation. Edmond was also known for his laziness and loved eating which was a big surprise for the Anshu clan because they were so not lazy.
"Novie and Siddy please stay behind." Edmond told them.
Their seven year old brother Alcott snickered hearing his sisters baby nicknames. If one thing was for sure, his sisters were daddy's girls.
"Alcott honey, why don't you go practice throwing shurken's in the Dojo," Nanao said to her son.
Nanao Maito Anshu was a former Jonin until she was pregnant with the twins. Nanao had black hair, which always happen to have some sort of silver in it. It was obvious to everyone that Sidra got her looks from her mother. While in the other hand, Novera got hers from her father.
"Sure mum, but later you have to teach me that Justu you promised" Alcott yelled.
"Dad is everything okay? You look a bit pale," Novera said.
"Yah daddy, what's the sudden talk about?" Sidra asked.
"Ed, I think it will be better if we go to the den and talk," their mother said.
"Sure, let's go girls."
Once everyone was seated in the den, their father started talking, "Novera and Sidra I want no interruptions until I am done talking." Edmond said in a very serious voice.
Both girls nodded their head.
Then Edmond started talking, "A century ago, your great ancestor Lai Anshu realised that there was more to wind then known. He soon started to form what we now call a Bloodline. Lai soon was able to take wind and make form them into different shapes, borders and control the wind. One day in heaps of a battle, he lost most of his chakra and was on the verge of dying. With no other choice, with what chakra he could master, her pushed wind into his body and emerged it into his blood. The winds healed all his wounds and he was able to fight the battle with full force.
A year later Lai got married to a women name Nana Sakura. When their first child was born, Lai realised that controlling the wind came very easily to his son even though his original element was water. From then on, the Anshu's were known for being able to control the wind, the Master of Wind.
However, fifty years ago, during your great-grandfathers time, a very powerful Justu was cast on our family, and it cut all our ties with the wind. Still, something strange happened when your mother was pregnant with you two. Somehow, the Justu was broken. How it happened was never known.
For the past year, I had Ibiki follow you two around here and there. As I suspected, you have ability to control wind, only a month ago, I felt wind follow you two around." Edmond finished.
Sidra sat shocked on the couch, while Novera said, "I guess it all makes sense now."
Nanao looked at Novera and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Novera blushed and said, "Mum I was researching the family history for a while now, and I found these strange stories about the wind."
"That's right," Sidra, said when she finally came out from her shocking position. "I remembering reading something like that a few years back."
Edmond shook his head, "How on earth can I stop you two reading so much?" he asked himself.
"They get that from you" their mother snickered.
"I have one question thought," Sidra said.
"Shoot love," their mother said.
"My natural element is lighting, while Nova's is wind, what does that mean?"
"Well you will awaken your Bloodline soon, so you will be able to control wind, and at the same time, use it with lightening. And for your sister, she will have almost perfect control of the wind if not all perfect because her element is wind, and so is her Bloodline." Their father said.
"I see," said Novera as she went into a deep thought.
Kinamori's House
Iqra just finished dinner with her parents Lea and Abash Kinamori when there was a sudden knock at the door.
"That must be Kurenai" Iqra's mum said as she cleared the table.
Lea Yuhi Kinamori quitted her ninja courier when she got married to her husband Abash Kinamori who was a Jonin from the Hidden Village of the Rain who soon after became a Konoha ninja.
"Wasn't she supposed to join us for dinner?" Abash wanted to know.
"Yah, but she probably was too busy." Lea answered.
Iqra went and opened the door for her aunt.
"Hey sweet heart! How was your first day as an official ninja?" Kurenai wanted to know.
Iqra hugged her aunt and said, "Tomorrow we have our mission, a C-Rank mission Auntie"
"So we've heard," Abash said as he entered the family room. "Sorry Kurenai, but the little devil was on and on about how good of a ninja she is"
Kurenai chuckle and bent down to give Iqra a small box.
"What's this?" Iqra asked.
""That is your genin present from all of us" Lea said as she entered the room.
Iqra opened the box to see a beautiful bracelet with the words 'Iqra' on it.
"Thanks daddy, mum and Aunt Kurenai" Iqra whispered. "I love it"
"I'm glad" Abash said, "Kurenai, what happened to you, weren't you suppose to come here for dinner?"
Kurenai blushed a bit then said, "Sorry, but I had to kick Anko's but first and Gai joined me. Then Asuma chased after us and kidnapped me for dinner so I wouldn't kill Anko. Kakashi-idiot had to save Anko from getting her ass kicked by Gai, and yah"
"Asuma dinner? Kakashi is an idiot, and he saved Anko, while Gai tried to kick Anko's ass?" Lea asked.
"Basically yes" Kurenai answered.
Abash shook his head."Crazy bunch I live with" he muttered, while Iqra giggled.
"Okay" he said, "Now to business, why don't we all have a seat."
After everyone settled down, Abash started, "Iqra, we've noticed you tend to take after your aunt in almost every way."
"Kurenai Aunty is cool" Iqra said.
"And" Lea took over, "your ninja moves and techniques are alot like hers. So, we've asked your aunt to train you in the Yuhi family tradition. When you are free, and Kurenai is free, she will be training you."
"YES!" Iqra yelled.
"But Iqqy" Lea said using Iqra's baby name, "When Kurenai is busy, which will be most of the time because she has her own team, I'll be training you."
Iqra sat speechless. Never in Iqra's eleven years of life did she see her mother train herself or Iqra.
"Serious mum?"
"You know, Kurenai and I asked your mum the same thing when she told us that," Abash said.
"I am sweetheart; also I'm getting out of shape." Lea said.
Everyone chuckled while Iqra bombarded her mum with questions about training.
Uchiha Mansion
"Hey dope" Sasuke said, even tho its been about a week that Naruto and Sasuke were living in the same house, Sasuke still called his cousin 'dope' while Naruto called Sasuke 'Sasgay or tame which annoyed Sasuke to no end.'
"What?" Naruto asked. Naruto and Sasuke were having Sasuke's favourite dinner, Tomato Soup.
"When do you think we're going to activate our 'Sharingan?" Sasuke asked.
"I don't know, nor do I really care are Sasuke." Naruto replayed.
Sasuke shook his head. 'I guess I wouldn't if my own family disowned my parents.' Sasuke thought.
"Naruto, how did you know what our genin test from Kakashi was about?" Sasuke asked suddenly.
Naruto grinned and shook his head, "I'm not going to tell you tame." And took some salad from the table and threw it on Sasuke.
Sasuke who was totally caught by surprise when that salad landed on his hair yelled, "NARUTO you DOPE! I have salad on my hair."
Naruto who was now rolling around the floor laughing said, "Well it's about time you get a new hair style for you 'Chicken Butt' hair Sasgay!"
"How immature for someone is who happens to an undercover ANBU. Anyways, when is my training gonna begin. I have to get training you know." Sasuke said.
"Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke, I really need to get you a girlfriend or something. I mean you're always so serious about everything. Hummm... I think I'll start your training when you loosen up a bit. "
Naruto seem to think a bit then smirked "No I think I change my mind, I'll start training you that day you actually find the perfect girl and get married."
Sasuke's face was unreadable, but if you look closely, you would notice slights of pink on his cheeks. "Naruto you are so dead!"
Sasuke stood up ferrous at Naruto, took a spoonful of Tomato Soup, and threw it at Naruto.
And seconds later both cousins were having a full fledge food fight.
Now if anyone was to walk in the main Uchiha Mansion and looked in the kitchen, they would have seriously thought that a bunch of toddlers was in there.
Nara Household
"Congratulations Shikamaru on becoming a fresh genin" Rayn Nara told her son. (Rayn pronounced Ray-ean. I don't really know the real name of Shikamaru's mother. If you do, then please tell me. Thanks*)
"Shikaku aren't you going to congratulate your son?" Rayn asked her husband.
"Huh? Sorry what was that?" Shikaku asked his wife as he woke up from sleeping on the table.
"How troublesome" Shikamaru said.
"I agree son," Shikaku agreed.
"GOD! What on earth am I suppose to do with you two?" Rayn asked herself as she went out of the kitchen.
"It's troublesome to ask dad, but why on earth did you marry such troublesome women?" Shikamaru whispered to his father.
Shikaku have a low chuckle and said, "Your right, it is a very troublesome question. However, when I married your mother she wasn't so troublesome. My guess is that she's pretty annoyed with two lazy people in the house." Shikaku whispered back.
"That's right and you know it sweetie." Rayn yelled from her bedroom.
Shikamaru shook his head and both the father and son thought, 'Troublesome but how does she do that? Well it's to troublesome to think about it now.'
"Here I found it!" Rayn exclaimed as she entered the room with a fat album. "Now why don't you tell Shikamaru the good news while I put in the new pictures."
"What news?" Shikamaru asked. Usually what was good news to his mum, was very troublesome news.
"It's very troublesome to tell, but I will start training you the Nara clan ninja way, while your mum will be working with you in your fighting technique." Shikaku told his son.
"That is very troublesome." Shikamaru agreed.
Just then Rayn burst into laughter. When she saw the question glance that her son and her husband gave her she said, "Maybe you should listen to your own conversation once in awhile, with all the troublesome stuff, it sounds like a drag."
Both Shika's shook their head, 'Women'
Hyuga Clan Main Household
"F-father yo-you called me?" Hinata asked trying not to stutter to much as she entered her father's study.
"Hinata sit down" Haishi said to his eldest daughter.
A member from the branch house brought tea into the study and left.
Haishi looked at his daughter and said, "Hinata you are now a genin. No longer a child, so I will want progress on. Also as the Hyuga clan princess, you will have to work on your stuttering more. It's getting better yes, but I want it better even more. Okay?"
'Father thinks my stuttering is getting better, I will not let you down father, nor you Naruto!' Hinata thought with a faint blush.
"Yes father," Hinata replayed.
"One more thing," Haishi said to his daughter, "Hinata I don't want too many reports on you fainting. You are a Hyuga clan heir, the most feared clan in Konoha. I don't need reports on you fainting."
"Yes father," Hinata replayed solemnly knowing full well how much she fainted.
"Also now that you are a genin I don't what to hear that you keep you other comrades falling behind. You are from one of the most feared clans in the hidden leafs, and I to see you keep up the Hyuga name."
"Offcorse father" Hinata said trying not to studder.
"Your dismissed Hinata."
'Damn, why the hell is she so much like her mother, the looks, the behaviour etc.' Haishi thought. 'Now not only that, she has a crush on Uzumaki of all people. Well its better then the Uchiha kid. Where is Hina (A/N: I don't know the name of Hinata's mum. Tell me if you do. Thanks) when you need her. First the crush on Uzumaki, then the PMSing. I really am too old for this.'
Haishi's thought was about to wonder off to his second daughter, when a faint knock was on his door.
"Come in."
Yamanaka House
"Princess!" Inoichi called his daughter after dinner.
Lately his daughter Ino was training more and more, and caring less and less about her looks and to his relief Sasuke Uchiha.
"What is it daddy?" Ino asked as she came down the stairs.
"Why don't you and I go for a walk, get some ice-cream and then have a father and daughter talk." Inoichi asked Ino.
"Sure, but can I have double fudge chocolate ice-cream?" Ino asked.
Inoichi did a double take. Double fudge chocolate ice cream was Ino's favourite, but it has been about a year that Ino even ate ice cream, but Inoichi sure wasn't complaining. Personally, he was happy that is Ino loosened about her weight and looks.
"Are you sure princess? Sure you don't want to get some of the diet yogurt?" Inoichi asked. 'Please say no, please say no' Inoichi thought.
"Dad I want double fudge chocolate ice-cream okay! Or else I'm not going" Ino pouted
'YES!' Inoichi thought. "Okay, okay princess. Now let's go tell your mum and get some double fudge chocolate ice-cream.
"Honey, Princess and I are going for ice cream!" Inoichi yelled.
"Don't be late" Ino's mum yelled back. (A/N: Again what is Ino's mum's name?)
Outside the Ice Cream Shop
"Okay Dad what's up?" Ino asked.
Inoichi looked surprised again, "What are you talking about?"
"Daddy" Ino said, "You wanted to have a father and daughter talk, so what's up?"
Inoichi shook himself silly, "Sorry Princess, the ice cream must have melted my brain ice."
I giggles and said, "Daddy when are you going to stop calling me Princess? You know that I'm not five years old anymore, I am a newly graduated genin!"
Inoichi looked far away in his mind and said, "Princess you may be fifty years old, but as long as you and I am living you will always be a baby girl to me."
Ino frowned at her father, "Daddy what do you mean 'You and I are living?'"
Inoichi bent down so he could meet his daughter's eyes. "Ino listen, from today and onwards you are a ninja of our beautiful village Konoha. Each time we go to do a mission, we ninja's never know if we will return home alive. Because of this, we should spent time with our family as much as possible, and when we do fight we should fight for our comrades, never abandon them, fight for out village, and more importantly fight for the ones we love. Each person should be able to fight for love, and those who can't, like the missing ninjas out there, they are not considered as humans. You understand that now Ino?"
'Wow' Ino thought as she lowered her eyes and said, "Yes daddy, and I promise not to disappoint you. Also can we get another ice-cream, mines is melted."
Inoichi laughter at his daughter and they went off to fulfill Ino's wish.
Haruno House
Aiko Haruno sat down by the fire place sipping tea while listening to Sakura go on and on, on how she passes the genin test and how she is one step closer to get Sasuke's love.
Finally Aiko put down her cup, "Sweetheart you know boys are not everything in the world?"
Sakura frowned, "what do you mean mum?"
"Sweetheart, listen. Girls and women are looked down upon. We are used for sex, man toys and things that are too horrible to be said. Because of this, we women tend to let the guys to chase us instead, we become strong to prove that we're stronger then boys!" Aiko told Sakura gently.
'What the hell?' Sakura thought. "So we're not supposed to like someone mum?"
Aiko laughed at her daughter, "No honey. If you're meant to be with someone no one in the world can stop you. For now become a strong female ninja, make me and your father proud. One day you will meet your match, until then Sakura become strong, unlock your inner power. You get what I mean?"
Sakura shook her head. "Yes mum!" 'What the hell, this is very confusing' Sakura thought as she thought back at her mother's words.
Aiko took a look at her daughters face and chuckled to herself. 'You will get what I mean one day sweetheart.'
Aburame Main House
Shino and Shibi was sitting on the back porch of the clan leader house enjoying the show that the fireflies put on.
"You know Shino, the whole clan expects a immense deal from you?" Shibi suddenly asked.
"Yes father," Shino replayed.
"But..."
Shino raised his eyebrows at his father and asked "But?"
Shibi looked at Shino very seriously and said, "Shino whatever occurs, always remember to follow your heart. Do what you think is right, not what everyone else thinks. Follow your heart and become a leader not a follower."
Shino thought for a minute and slowly said, "Father what if my thought is wrong and leads me to a disaster?"
Shibi smiled at his son's thoughtfulness. "Shino we are humans not angles. No one is perfect, and what's a life without any faults? But always choose the best idea by doing pro's and con's. I am sure you will catch on."
"Yes father."
Inuzuka Main House
"Look who's a genin? My very own baby brother Kiba. Seems like yesterday he was running around the house yell that he didn't want to wear his dippers." Kiba's sister Hina teased.
"MOM! Tell Hina to shut up. She's been going like that since the moment I got home. If she dosen't shut up right now then I'll have to show her what's it like to be a man." Kiba yelled.
"Ohhh, I'm so scared Kiba. You a man? What a good laugh. You can't even get a girl to date you if you pay them." Hina said pretending to sound scared.
"I too can get a date if I wanted to. Girls just love me. I don't see you going and dating. Lets see why... Oh I know, your way to violent." Kiba smarked.
Hina smiled at Kiba and said, "Well how come I just to happen to date Genma now, before that it was Izumo."
"WHAT? You're still dating Genma? I swear if he did anything..."
Hina and Nidaho (Is that Kiba's mum's name? If not, tell me please) tuned Kiba out in his usual speech about beating up his sister's boyfriend.
"You know mum," Hina whispered. "Kiba is gonna be one loyal dog to his team. But I fear for the girl he starts dating. I don't think he's gonna let anyone take one look at girl unless they want their eyes curved out."
Nidaho smiled at Hina ans said, "Lets hope he never has girls, 'cause they will always have an ANBU follow them around"
Nidaho and Hina looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"Okay, what's do funny?" Kiba asked.
"Nothing." Came two innocent voices of his mother and sister.
Akimichi Main House
Choji and Chouza were sitting on the front porch of their house when Choji suddenly asked, "Dad what's it like to be a genin?"
Chouza looked at his son then said, "A genin is the first step to crossing the bridge and becoming just who you are. Genin, Chunin, Jonin, are only steps of the person you become. Some people go the old tradition and follow others, some follow the wrong path and become criminals, many of the criminals sometimes find the right path and become good. And some make their own path.
The genin teachers are only the guide to the path, but only you can cross the path and become who you are. Just remember to follow your heart and you will be where you want to be Choji." Chouza got up and went inside leaving his son to think.
