TPO…chapter 10: Kaaru's Past!
"Why…why does Kaaru-sensei have a kekkai genkai?" Sakura asked.
"I'm curious too." Hinata said. She and Naruto never knew Kaaru had a doujutsu.
Kakashi's eyes suddenly lit up in realization. His brain was going a million kilometers per hour. "That's the ancient doujutsu! The Seishingan or the mind's eye. It was said that the Seishingan was on of the first kekkai genkai. It has 2 stages, the Seer stage and the Rose stage. The Seer stage makes the wielder's irises purple and makes a silver moon appear on his forehead, it grants the wielder the ability to read the mind of the enemy thus making them know what the opponent's next move is and gives the wielder telepathy." Kakashi told them.
"What does the Rose stage do?" Chouji asked.
"Well, the Rose stage makes the user's irises turn pink and make a gold rose mark appear beside the silver moon. It grants the wielder the ability to hypnotize the enemy, go into their dreams and even destroy the enemy's mind." Kakashi said.
"Whoa…" Naruto said

Kaaru looked at Yuki and Mai and tried to read their thoughts.
(Mindscape)
Kaaru was inside Yuki's mind. 'Hmm…where's the door of thoughts.'
He walked in a long hallway, searching for the door of thoughts.
'Is it this one?' 'No' 'No' 'Uh uh' 'Nah' 'Nope' over and over again, he searched the last hallway and found a big door with a lock on it.
'Now I just have to unlock it.' Kaaru started to form handsigns. He raised his finger and inserted it into the keyhole and it snapped open.
Instantly, Kaaru was being bombarded with Yuki's thoughts.
(Exit Mindscape)
Kaaru unlocked Yuki's thoughts in less than 3 seconds and then moved onto Mai's thoughts.
(Mindscape)
Mai's mind was a bit more trickier, she had set up mental defenses and barriers to protect her mind. He approached the mental wall and started to find a weak spot.
To set up mental guards, the simplest way to do it was concentrate on someone or something. It seems that Mai used her childhood memories as her barrier.
Kaaru looked at a scene where Mai was being teased.
'What's up with your forehead?' a boy said.
'Wha-what do you mean?' Mai asked.
'Oh nothing you flowerhorn.' The boy teased.
Mai cried in a fetal position. 'There!' Kaaru said and slipped into the barrier's weak spot.
Kaaru instantly found the door and opened it.
(Exit mindscape)
Just as Kaaru opened her memories they both attacked. Yuki and Mai began to form handsigns. Not wanting to be outdone, Kaaru also began to make handsigns. Mai and Yuki jumped away from each other and flipped in the air. "Niruida suzume denryuu! (Double sparrow electric current made up)"
Two sparrows made of electricity materialized above the two's head and soared towards Kaaru.
'Heh, I knew that was coming.' Kaaru smirked and finished his handsigns. "Suiton: Mizu no Muchi! (Water styke: Water whip) Water condensed around his fist, he shot it towards the two sparrows and sent an electric current through it, the two sparrows were absorbed by the whip and the electricity shot towards Kaaru, just as the electricity was about to strike him, he let go of the jutsu and the electrocuted water splashed on the ground.
'Maybe we could trap him in a genjutsu and then knock him out with a Doton jutsu.' Yuki thought.
'Oh, so that's what they're planning.' Kaaru smirked again. But he didn't know that it was a trap, he was took on surprise as the two suddenly slammed both of their palms onto the ground and created a chakra shield around him.
'Rats, they knew I could read their thoughts and tricked me.' Kaaru thought.
Kaaru made handsigns again. "Mizu no Tatsumaki! (Tornado of water)" A vortex of water burst the shield apart and knocked Yuki and Mai away.
Kaaru molded his chakra into a complex seal pattern on the ground below his feet which suddenly appeared. He was surrounded by an aquamarine light, his hair was floating in the air even though there was no wind. He finished the last seal which was ram and yelled. "Hikari chakra: Tengoku Nami(Light chakra: Heaven Wave made up)" and then the light expanded and blew Yuki and Mai away.
"Ugh…retreat!" Yuki ordered and the disappeared in a swirl of bubbles. When the two left Kaaru fainted from chakra exhaustion.

When Kaaru woke up his saw the faces of team 7 and 10. "What's up?" He grinned.
"What's up!? Well for starters you could tell us why those two were looking for you!" Asuma shouted.
Kaaru sighed and motioned them to sit down, this was gonna be a long story. "It all started…"
((FLASHBACK))
In the Island of Cresent Moon, King Daisuke and Queen Pei looked at their son, 4-year old boy with black hair and brown eyes, Hyujiko Kaaru.
"Wait, hold up, so that means you're a prince!?" Naruto yelled.
"Yea, now don't interrupt me." Kaaru said.
Kaaru was playing at the beach behind the castle, swimming in the crystal clear water. He dived into the water and found a clam. He excitedly went to the shore and opened it, inside there was a beautiful blue gemstone. He ran back to the castle and showed his parents the stone.
"Mommy look!" Kaaru said bubbly and showed his mom the gem.
"Wow Ruru-chan, where did you find it?" His mom asked.
"I found it at the beach, inside a clam under the water." Kaaru said enthusiastically.
"It's looks very pretty." His mother said.
"I'll make it my treasure!" Kaaru said happily.
Kaaru smiled and fingered the necklace around his neck. He looked at the blue gemstone that was carved into it. "So that gem is the one you found?" Hinata asked. Kaaru just nodded.
Kaaru was once again roaming around town, he spotted to children in the park.
"Hi! My name's Kaaru, what's yours?" Kaaru asked them.
"My name is Toyoshi Yuki!" The dark-haired boy said.
"And I'm Sekumi Mai!" The brunette girl said.
The three children played for hours until, Yuki's parents and Mai's parents came to pick them up.
They were shocked to find Kaaru was there. They bowed at him "Hello Kaaru-ooji." (Ooji means prince) "Prince Kaaru?" Yuki asked curiously. "Yeah, I'm the prince! And I want you two to be my friends!" Kaaru said happily. Yuki and Mai grinned and nodded their heads. "When you become King, I'm gonna be the AQUA captain." Yuki said. "And I'll be a special jounin and a great medic-nin!" Mai said. The three bade each other goodbye and left.
"So those two were your childhood friends?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes, and I see there wishes had come true, Yuki is an AQUA captain and Mai is a special jounin and I bet she's a great medic." Kaaru said wistfully.
(Timeskip Kaaru 15)
To mother and father,
I am sorry but I cannot stay here anymore, I cannot. Things are getting complicated and I think it would be best to leave. This is for the benefit of the kingdom, I am just too incapable of leading a kingdom and I cannot marry someone I do not love. Please give Keitaro the crown because I cannot accept it. Goodbye my dear parents.
Respectfully yours,
~ Hyujiko Kaaru~
PS: I love you.
A 15-year old Kaaru was wearing a cloak over his head, he ran towards the dock and snuck into on of the boats heading towards Sea Country. He hid under the deck of the ship as the boat was thrown be the waves, the sky was dark and the sea was furious. In all the terror he felt he managed to fall asleep.
The next morning he opened his eyes and found out the boat had docked. He snuck out of the boat and took off. He traveled far and wide until he resided near the border of Fire country when he was 18.
"So that's how you got to the border." Naruto said.
"Yes." Kaaru said still staring at space.
"Why did you leave?" Kakashi asked.
"It was because I felt like I couldn't rule the Island and I was forced to marry a snobby noble. I hated it and ran away." Kaaru said sadly. "A coward's way out."
"Don't say that Kaaru-nii, I still think you're the same nii-san I know!" Naruto said and everyone agreed well except Sasuke, Kakashi and Sasuke who chose to stay silent.
"We should tell this to the Hokage." Kakashi said.
"Actually, I told him before I took the jounin exams." Kaaru said.
((FLASHBACK))
"Hokage-sama, I need to tell you something." Kaaru said.
"Well take a seat and we'll talk about it."
…………
"Hmm…oh well, it would be best to keep quiet about this, but you have to tell Naruto & Hinata sometime." Sarutobi said.
"I know…"
((END))
Kaaru smiled and said "Well then, let's head back to Konoha! But before that, I heard the Chuunin exams will take place in Konoha." Kaaru said.
"Yea, I recommended my team." Asuma said.
"Well, Kakashi and I decided to make you take the Chuunin exams." Kaaru said giving them the forms. "It's three months from now so be prepared!" Kaaru said.
The teams left the village and headed back to Konoha with a new secret to keep.
