Sorry that this update came a bit later but my previous laptop broke. Anyways, this chapter is more of a transitional Chapter that sets up a small arc that I have planned after Daichi's Dual with the Hyuga and before he possibly goes to the Western Continent. I hope you enjoy and don't forget to review.
What ability or abilities should Sasuke have when he gets the Magekyo Sharingan?
Do you want The Western Continent Arc or should I skip it?
Skip it: Kajan comes in a bit later in the story. We time skip after the Dual to when he becomes a Sensei. A few movies may not b e included.
Don't Skip it: I have an arc with dragons planned (admittedly could be later in this story) The Western Continent Arc would be a big character arc for Daichi. Now, I already have Naruto visiting the village (Coming up before the Jonin Exams) but he would also appear on the Western Continent for a longer period of time. I'm talking for the arc and two of the movies I want to rewrite (Happening sort of in the arc. You'll know what it means when the time comes).
I'm hesitant to do such an arc. After this arc, you wouldn't see many of these people (At least not for a really long time.) Which would make you think that this is filler yet people like Kan exist and the Akatsuki are going to move to recruit Benders as well. This is why I leave this in your hands. Though it could be explained away. Please read and review.
Hatake Home, A Little after Dosu Left the Waterfall Village…
Kakashi walked into his home only to be confronted by Shizune. "Okay mister, you gave your report and checked on Daichi. Now it's time to treat your wounds."
Kakashi had refused treatment at the hospital. He always did hate them. Not to mention he could receive better treatment at home. The only reason he hadn't returned with Shizune was because he had some lose ends to tie up. Before Kakashi could speak, he finally passed out with Shizune catching him.
Yuichiro, who had been standing nearby, calmly asked. "Father used the Mangekyo Sharingan, didn't he?"
Shizune sighed. "He did. I'm just surprised he managed to stay conscious this long."
Yuchiro walked over and took his father from his mother. He then put him on the couch.
"If you need me, I'll be in the backyard training." Yuichiro said with determination in his eyes. "Father's Sharingan is powerful. I must train hard to become as strong as him."
Yuichiro walked away as Shizune shouted. "Dinner will be in two hours."
Yuichiro held up his hand. "Alright mother."
Land of Fire, Next day…
Dosu, still carrying an unconscious Fuu on his back, was leaping through the trees with Shibuki who'd dropped his robes revealing a simple, short sleeved blue shirt and tan pants.
"I'll give your village credit. I didn't think they'd send out Shinobi after hearing what I did to one of their Jonin."
"How far is it to the Leaf Village?" Shibuki asked already thinking of ways to stop their pursuers.
Dosu closed his eye and slightly smiled. "I was simply making a comment. Just because I didn't expect your village to chase us so soon doesn't mean I don't expect others of tailing me. Never can be too careful."
Shibuki wondered what Dosu meant until he heard the distant sounds of trees toppling and explosions going off.
"Paper bombs?" Shibuki asked.
"It's a habit of mine. For the longest time I've worked alone. Over time I learned how to set traps enabling me to capture quite a few of my targets, who thought they could turn the tables, or those that wanted their targets back." Dosu explained
Shibuki nodded. "So we should arrive at the village before they get to us."
Dosu confirmed. "Exactly; however, it would still be in our best interest to pick up the pace. Are you able to do that?"
Shibuki placed a hand on his abdomen. The truth way that his ribs had been bothering him ever since they left the Waterfall Village. His gaze then shifted to Fuu.
He removed his hand and clenching his fist before passing Dosu. "Let's get to the Leaf Village."
Dosu nodded and together they picked up their pace. Then Dosu stopped forcing Shibuki to do the same. He passed Fuu to the Rouge Shinobi and Faced the left.
"Take Fuu and make your way to the Leaf Village." Dosu firmly stated.
"What's going on?" Shibuki asked.
"A group of Shinobi have just walked into the radius of my sound seals. They're on a direct course for the Waterfall Shinobi. I suspect that they're a group of Leaf Shinobi." Dosu explained.
Shibuki nodded. "I understand."
"And don't think of coming after me." Shibuki was shocked. "Don't act so surprised. I've seen your type many times before. Just get to the Leaf Village and leave the fighting to me."
Shibuki closed his eyes. "Very well."
Dosu continued. "When you arrive ask for Daichi Ryu or Kakashi Hatake. If neither of them can come, then ask to meet with the Hokage and explain your situation."
The Fusion Clan member took off heading straight for the Waterfall Shinobi.
Shibuki went in the other direction heading for the Leaf Village. "Thank you Dosu Kinuta. May you come to the Leaf Village unharmed."
With Neji's Group
Neji, Kiba and Akamaru, Shino, Tenten, Tayuya, Yakumo, and Sasame were walking along the road with Kan Mitarashi bound in chains.
"You know, this is actually kind of fun. It's been a while since I've been in chains." He then fell to the ground. "And… now I'm bored again."
"I told you he'd just end up doing this again." Tenten stated completely used to this.
"I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt." Kiba stated as he picked Kan up and slung him over the shoulder.
Kan chuckled. "I'm only out to make this fun for myself. You're just an idiot"
"Can it!" Kiba shouted as the group continued on their way.
"Are we even sure that we should take this guy in? He doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would know anything about Orochimaru." Yakumo stated.
"That's what I've been saying. I was just a hired mercenary for one job. I saw one base, and it's likely that Daichi guy you've been talking about has either blown it up or it's abandoned." Kan simply stated.
"As much as I would love to leave him here, we can't. His last name is Mitarashi, or so he says. Clearly there is something here the Leaf Village doesn't know, and…" Neji stopped and activated his Byakugan.
"What's wrong?" Sasame asked.
"There's a Shinobi with a Leaf Village head band. That I've never seen before, fighting a squad of Waterfall Shinobi." Neji stated.
"You think this Shinobi is trying to stir up trouble between our two villages?" Tenten asked.
"It's possible." Neji thought about it for a moment. "Kiba, you take Tenten and Tayuya East of here. Capture this Shinobi and we'll bring him in for questioning like our mercenary here."
"So you guys want me to have a buddy. You're so thoughtful." Kan stated from atop Kiba's shoulder.
Everyone ignored him and Kiba passed him to Neji. "Alright, let's go."
Tayuya was grateful. "Finally I get some rest from him."
Kan smiled. "But I was really enjoying our date."
The three Leaf Shinobi took off into the brush while the remaining Shinobi, and prisoner, continued down the road.
With Dosu
Dosu put his blade in the ground before lifting a waterfall Shinobi, who was still conscious off the ground. "What is your village thinking? None of you brought any Hero's Water?"
"Fuck… you!" The villager angrily shouted.
Dosu sighed and shook his head. "Honestly, why did you even come after us. Your village should be overjoyed. The 'monster' is finally gone. You can just…"
He ducked while slamming the Shinobi into the ground as shuriken flew overhead. He then straightened up, removed his sword from the ground, and blocked a punch from Tayuya with it. He then took a good look at her.
Currently she was using her Uzumaki Curse Seal at Stage One meaning she had white lines all over her body. Her usual blue Chakra was a deep, blood red and fury was evident on her face.
Next he took notice of her vastly different look comparing her to the Tayuya he'd once known. Her red hair was more tamed and longer. It was held in a ponytail. Her Leaf Head band was on her left shoulder.
She wore a dull black, short sleeved shirt with orange lines done the sides and sleeves with matching pants and boots. She was slender and had filled out a bit more. She had some muscle to her.
"Tayuya, it has been awhile. I see you did in fact join the Leaf Village." Dosu stated.
"Kinuta." Tayuya spat. "How are you alive? I was there. I saw your dead body before we took Orochimaru away."
"Is that why you are trying to kill me? Because I'm supposed to be dead." Dosu plainly stated.
Tayuya growled, "I'm trying to kill you because you're wearing a Leaf Village head band."
Dosu sighed and looked passed her. "You two mind stopping her. I have no intention of fighting back and will gladly come with you to the Leaf Village."
Kiba shrugged. "Tenten, you do it."
"Why me?" Tenten asked.
"Because I learned early on that it's never a good idea for me to try and stop an angry woman. It always ends poorly." Kiba plainly stated.
Tenten sighed. "Tayuya, stop fighting him. Neji clearly told us to take him in for questioning."
Tayuya glared at Dosu before backing away. "Try anything, and I'll kill you."
Dosu sheathed his blade. "Like you could."
"Don't test me." Tayuya began.
Dosu eye smiled. "That wasn't the rule you just made."
He then started walking towards the Leaf Village.
"I'm already missing Mercenary?" Tayuya huffed.
The small group moved back onto the road.
With Shibuki
Shibuki could see the Leaf Village gate in the distance as Fuu slowly came to. She was too weak move anything but her head enabling her to look around.
"Lord Shibuki, did we win? Is Dosu okay? Where are we?" Fuu asked.
Shibuki turned and smiled. "Good to see that you're up Fuu, but I'm afraid it's just Shibuki now. We've official left the Village."
Fuu was too tired to act like she usually would. "What, but you loved the village."
Shibuki frowned, "I loved what the village was not what it become. The Village I knew wouldn't ostracize someone just because of what they contained." He pointed forward. "That's why we're going to start over in the Leaf Village."
"The village Daichi is from." Fuu stated as she looked at the nearing gates.
Shibuki nodded. "Yep. Dosu gave me the idea with how he described this Daichi. Honestly, it'll be nice to be a normal shinobi once more. As for Dosu, he'll catch up soon. You should just get some rest."
Fuu's eyes became heavy. "That sounds good."
Fuu fell asleep and Shibuki smiled. "I have a good feeling about this. Things will be better for you here."
Daichi's Mind
Daichi was sitting in the grass looking at papers that he'd materialized. "Look deeper into Itachi Uchiha." He picked up the next one. "Your father is alive and it's likely that you will face him in combat."
Daichi closed his eyes for a moment before turning around and looking at six summoning scrolls on the ground. 4 of them were small and the other 2 were large.
"Lion, Dragon, Bear, Wolf, Tiger, and Rashamon." Daichi thought as he looked from one scroll to the other.
He then stood up and conjured a shelve containing the various Kenjutsu forms he knew.
Then an idea came to him. "That's it!"
"What's it?" A female voice asked having appeared behind him.
Daichi turned around and found himself looking at a young girl in a white sun dress. Her hair was sky blue as were her eyes which were that of a dragon.
Daichi raised an eye brow. "Vonyess, what happened to your black dragon eyes and hair?"
"That's the same as asking why you've gained an orange stripe in your hair or how your eyes became that of a dragon. Simply put, I decided to change my appearance which means I've altered my Dragon Form as well." Vonyess replied.
Daichi nodded. "Fair point." A question then came to mind. "Are you here to tell me that I've lost the Dragon contract?"
Vonyess gave him a comforting smile. "Rest assured that Jinchuriki doesn't count as a Dragon. Summons and Tailed Beast are different entities after all. Not to mention that you had to take that Tailed Beast in or many lives would have likely been lost."
Daichi laid down in the grass as the objects around him vanished. "That's a relief."
"Now that we got that out of the way, what were you doing?" The dragon summon asked.
"I've been using this time going over my gathered information and thinking about my clan. Really, it's the only thing I can do right now. I've reached the conclusion that my clan needs to evolve into something more.
We need something besides our symbol and name that can tie us together. Originally, it was supposed to be the Fusion Clone Jutsu, but that can no longer be the case. Though I do believe that I know what out clan can stand for now.
The Fusion Clan is comprised of Shinobi with varying skills, but what skills tie us together are that of the sword and summons. That is what we will bring to Konoha. On that note, I wish to know if the dragons would like to have a clan summon them once more?" Daichi asked.
Vonyess replied with a smile. "It has been so long since we belonged to clan. We would be overjoyed to be of use; however, my services, which you will eventually have, are only for Clan Heads and Heirs."
"Thank you. Now I assume you didn't just show up by chance. Is there something you wish to say?" Daichi asked as he closed his eyes.
The dragon sighed. "Unfortunately, I must give you a warning."
Daichi sat up. "What is it?"
"Have you ever wondered why the dragons, except for me, are all the same size. Especially when every other summon all vary in size?" Vonyess asked.
"I just thought that it was something unique to the dragons." Daichi replied.
"Many have thought that. My kin's size is the result of five dragons all called Genryu. They roamed the earth well before the Shinobi, Sage of Six Paths, or Kaguya. They planned on killing humanity and ruling over the remaining life.
The 1st Lord of the Dragon prevented this by sealing them in Mount Koryu with a seal that no one has ever broken. Before they were sealed away they used their massive amounts of Chakra to curse the dragons and shape there forms into what they are today.
She shook her head. "Of course, this seal was never meant to last. It was meant to weaken the Genryu bringing their Chakra, strength, and size down. This would enable to Dragon Sage to kill them with the blade infused with the 1st Dragon Lord's Blood."
Daichi's mind focused on that last line. "The Dragon's Blade."
Vonyess nodded. "Exactly."
"Why…" He shook his head. "Why didn't you say anything before now?"
"Because you did not need the warning until now. Even then, you cannot enter the mountain until the seal is broken. We will only know that the seal has been broken when the Earth Dragon comes for you." Vonyess replied.
"Because I'm the sage. Okay, so this dragon will come for me. Can you at least tell me when this will happen?" Daichi asked.
"About one month after your Jonin Exams." Vonyess replied.
"I'll just need to be away from civilization then." Daichi took a deep breath. "Where is this Mount Koryu?"
Vonyess brought out a map and handed it to Daichi. "It is located on this island to the South of the Land of Fire."
"Is there anything else that you can tell me?" Daichi asked.
"The 5 Genryu will be halve the size of the Great Beast King. They will be guarded by the Mugonhei which are soulless husk. After the 1st attack, you will have one week to make it to the island or the remaining dragons and Mugonhei will move on all nations.
Daichi stood up and grinned. "I'll just have to make sure my clan is ready. After all, who better to deal with dragons than a clan that summons them."
Vonyess smiled. "Well put. You are becoming more worthy, as each day passes, of the Dragon Sage tittle. Soon you will be able to summon me, and afterward you will learn a new ability from us befitting your tittle."
Vonyess left Daichi with that.
Daichi sighed, "Troubling times lie ahead for me and my clan." He brought forth all the information available to him in scrolls and folders. "I should use all the time I have, sleeping, refining my jutsus and ideas for my clan. I should also look over all the information I've gathered and formulate plans on how to use it."
Reviews from Fusion Clan Shinobi
Guest: daichi gave Mara a scroll? isn't she blind? sorry I might be missing something like her ability to read or something but I m sure I read she is blind or something.
Quillion9000: Her senses are sharper than most blind people (Probably know why or have guessed it) I didn't think it was to far of a stretch to think that she could read inked words with her hands.
Guest: i would like to point a few things from your last chapter that seemed a bit off to me.
1 i find it highly unlikely that a member of hyuga clan out there.I mean hyuga elders may have power among the clan but they dont have direct power over the main house so the hyuga cannot be of main house .i.e. he must have been a branch house member. Although uchihas wont agree with this type of scientific breeding at all it doesnt seem unlikely that one cannot try..so if you go along with the story where his mom dad were killed on orders of hyuga elders and he turned out to be a failure so hyuga elders muat have killed him too .Hyugas were stoic with stick up their butt but they werent fool if it meant protecting their bloodline in anyways possible.
2 of all the clans in konoha ..i feel Nara's are least susceptible to corruption and are way to lazy to get up and the guy in your story said that he is just pretending to be a Nara but i felt this is one thing that i would like to say.
I know its too late now that you have written a second part to this story..but i m still expecting a bit of explanation for my first point in the coming chapters.
other that this you are doing an awesome job and i loved this story.
And i loved that fact that the story have 98 chapters with each chapter having good enough length and a story weaving through it.
Most fanfics are either veeery long chapters ending abruptly incomplete within 2 or 3 chapters or if there are any long stories they are more like 10 lines chapters which finish in less than a few minutes(i am a really fast reader..i m sorry but i dont pickup much details while reading..but i am used to fast reading so most of the stories finish way too quickly ..so i always look for longer and longer stories that actually take time..its actually my second day reading this and most probably i will finish 1st part by night(and i do all this in my breaks) so yeah i am expecting either a proper end to the story or keep the story going as long as you can..plz dont abandon it suddenly if you can help it
Quillion9000: 1 The elders in this alternate universe have more power than they do in the canon one. I did explain how he was alive
2 I think you're referring to Dean Nara. Yes he has the name Nara; however he is also half Explosion Stylist he's not to lazy.
I'm glad you like story and do not worry for I intend to continue and finish this trilogy. I also plan on doing my own next Generation which you can tell will already be different and in more ways than one
4 Year Gap Reviews
Zach: I hope you can start ch 29 soon
apoorv3108: i have finished its part one..it was awesome i gave a few reviews too..dont know if you got it or not .anyways loved it and have started on this one too.
hope u ll continue this one to its proper ending and not abandon it .
Quillion9000: I plan on it and thank you for your reviews.
shisui3108: i liked the invasion but even i wont forgive you for kankuro and choji.i even liked akana could have atleast made their deaths meaningfull by killing the enemies..example kankuro ending iwana along with himslef..ok i understand kuma and mizuki(even he wasnt that strong..mere byakugan cannot give him access to hyugas can do so because they acan emit chakra for every pore in their body) escaping but iwana should have died.
Quillion9000: Glad you liked the invasion. I had to kill some people off. Do you realize that Neji is practically one of the only main secondary characters to die in all of Naruto. (Asuma was a Sensei and a secondary character). Mizuki and Kuma became experiments about 2 years ago. I mean Shun does know them quite well. iwana escaped because he did so once before. He supposedly died to Daichi, yet he didn't. He survived and grew stronger over the years until he faced Kankuro. This is all to prove a point. The people Iwana work for aren't just a small army but are also strong.
