Hello and welcome back I hope you enjoyed the last chapter. Like I said in the last one I am still new to writing so please mind any spelling errors you may see as I do miss some. As always constructive criticism is welcome.
Girls in the Harem: Pretty much up in the air open to suggestions and any you don't want will be taken into account as well as any you do want.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
My eyes open heavily only to see a dark room with a single light overhead illuminating only me. Trying to move but find I am unable to since my arms and legs are bound by wires to a metal chair, attempting to shake anything loose as strain my muscles against the wires only to draw blood around my wrists. Seeing as it is no use I give up and decide to take in a bit more of my surroundings I can only see a table to my right with various blades, blunt objects, and many other items seemingly used for torture from the look of blood that stained them but, what really unsettled me was the large mirror in front of me portraying 6 year old self completely.
After god knows how long I am sitting bound I hear a shuffle, looking in the direction of the noise I see a man walk out of the corner of the room that was shrouded in darkness before. "Was he there the whole time?" I think to myself as the man gets under the light I see him fully. He is an elderly man with bandages covering his left eye, a X like scar on his chin and a cane in his left hand with his right out of view hidden in his kimono.
"What are you gonna do to m-" I attempt to say before his cane hits my head splattering blood across the floor.
"Gaah!" shouting out in pain and tears threatening to spill from my eyes.
"You are here to become your perfect self." The man says stoically.
"What ar-"
CRACK* The cane once again comes down on me hitting my forehead splitting it open releasing a fresh flow of blood pouring into my right eye.
"Ah! Sniffle*… Sniffle* stop hitt-" the words once again die in my throat before I could finish.
CRACK* This time the cane strikes my throat crushing it as blood flows freely from my mouth.
"You no longer need to talk…" the mans emotionless mask betrays no emotion.
"Pl… ea… se… l… et… m… e…go…" I struggle with great effort as I beg for the man to stop as tears flow out of my eyes with one stream heavily diluted with blood.
"You are not ready, begin the process." He says as another two figures with masks and Anbu uniforms drop from the ceiling, one with ash-grey hair in a ponytail and the other with short blonde hair. The bandaged man turned around disappearing into the darkness of the room saying only a few final words.
"Don't die, you have no use to me dead."
"… -nsa… Ten-… Tensa! Are you alright, you were groaning in your sleep." My eyes flicker open seeing a snickering Naruto and a worried Sakura.
"Yeah… just a bad dream." I say shaking my head to clear the rest of my drowsiness.
"Are you sure it sounded like you were in pain?" Sakura says as with a skeptical look but agree begrudgingly.
"Any sign of our Sensei?" I ask as the door opens revealing a man with silver gravity defying hair.
"Your late!" Naruto and Sakura say in unison.
"Ma ma, Sorry I got stuck on the road of life." He says with a sheepish eye smile sheepishly scratching the back of his head.
"Well now that everyone is here let's start introductions... on the roof." He says disappearing in a swirl of leaves leaving Naruto and Sakura face faulting.
On the roof
"Alright I guess let's start with everyone introducing yourselves, you first pinkie." Kakashi says pointing to Sakura.
"Oh, uhm why don't you start us off since it will give us an idea of what to say." She says nervously
"Very well, my name is Kakashi Hatake my likes are not important, dislikes I don't feel like telling you and my dreams are none of your business. Ok now you go Pinkie." He says with an eye smile as everyone sweatdrops.
"My name is Sakura Haruno, my likes are Tensa-kun and studying, my dislikes are Ino-pig and that duck-haired bastard. My dream is to be the best medical ninja in the world." She exclaims with confidence.
"Hmm are you willing to even go against Tsunade Senju of the Sannin for that title?" Kakashi questions with an unreadable expression towards Sakura who falters a bit before gaining a confident attitude.
"Yes!" she says resolutely.
"Interesting, she has a good attitude I think she will go far." Kakashi thought.
"Now the blondie." Kakashi points at Naruto lazily.
"Right! My name is Naruto Uzumaki, my likes are Ramen and training. My dislikes are those who hurt my precious people. My dream is to someday be the greatest Hokage who ever lived! Datteboyo!" Naruto shouts out as if letting the whole village know with the biggest smile he can muster while doing so.
"Quite the honest kid eh?" Kakashi inwardly sweat drops before turning his attention to me and pointing.
"Your turn."
"My name is Tensa, my likes are breaking my limits and getting stronger. My biggest dislike is weakness. My greatest ambition is to be the strongest." I say with a resolute tone.
"That could be a problem in the future." Kakashi thought. "Ok, with introductions over meet at training grounds 17 tomorrow morning at 6:00 and remember don't eat or you with just puke it all out. Ja ne!" Kakashi said waving with an eye smile before disappearing in a swirl of leaves.
"H-Huh did he just say a test, what test…" Naruto says with a confused expression.
"I don't know but I guess we will find out tomorrow… and eat breakfast I have a feeling he will be late tomorrow too." I say jumping off the roof and speeding to the direction of my home.
Once I make it to my doorstep I quickly broaden my senses as far as I could feeling for any chakra signatures. Finding none, I walk in and move into my hidden lab looking to the center of the room to see a bloody Yodachi with a blank expression and dull eyes.
"You died huh, that's kind of disappointing." I say with a frown before gaining a thought.
Never mind this I might as well get started with my with my path to power. Looking behind me at the various lab equipment I move to move to the shelf and take a jar containing a pair of Sharingan and place it on the table. Carefully taking one of the Sharingan out of the jar and placing it on a tray I take a syringe out of the drawer I pierce the eye and extract a clear fluid out of the before draining it into a vial. I do the same with the opposite eye producing another vial of the same clear liquid. Placing the eyes back into the jar I hold the vials up to the light inspecting them for any impurities.
"Now let's see if I can extract the genetic material of the Uchiha's bloodline." I think to myself. While I can simply just implant the Sharingan but I would rather avoid that route if I can because of the extreme toll it takes on the body that isn't of Uchiha descent so I will assimilate the Uchiha bloodline into my own body and be as if I was born like any other Uchiha and like any other Uchiha awaken my very own eyes.
As I get absorbed into my research I work well into the night not even noticing that the time was approaching the morning. I look up while stretching as audible pops flow throughout my body finally noticing the clock I have on the wall. Widening my eyes, I see that it is already 9:30 on the outside. I chuckle to myself before placing my work down standing up. "And I was so close to extracting pure Uchiha cells." I say to no one in particular.
Leaving my lab, I get into a fresh pair of clothes consisting a form fitted black long sleeve shirt revealing my muscular torso and loose fitted martial arts pants with a black sash around my waste, and finally black bandages covering my feet. My Shinobi head band is fitted around my neck with the hidden leaf logo facing forward. I make my way out to the meeting place for my team with my Jonin sensei. Once I land at the training ground I see my two teammates with no sign of Kakashi looking furious as they notice me walking up giving them a swift waive.
"Yo."
"Where have you been! Do you have any idea how late you are!" Naruto and Sakura shout furiously.
"My apologies I was doing research and time got ahead of me. Besides it looks like I arrived on time anyways." I say pointing to the Silver haired Jonin approaching while reading an orange book.
"YOUR LATE!" Naruto and Sakura shout simultaneously.
"Sorry, sorry I got lost on the road of life." Kakashi says with an eye smile sheepishly scratching the back of his head.
"Ok team with all of us here we will take the test, and I am sure your curious about it since you just passed your Genin exams but bottom line if you fail this test I will send you back to the academy no ifs ands or buts." Kakashi says in a serious tone.
"You can't just send us back to the academy! We passed the Genin exam!" Naruto exclaims while pointing at Kakashi.
"Actually, I can because your true test to become a Genin is not at the academy it is with me. You see the test at the academy was to see if you had the aptitude to be Genin." Kakashi says without looking up from his book.
"What is the test Kakashi-sensei?" I ask inquisitively.
"Well all you have to do is take these to bells from me. If you get one you pass if you don't you get sent back to the academy." He says holding up two bells.
"But there are only two bells and three of us." Sakura points out.
"Oh, how unfortunate." Kakashi says while attaching the bells to his waist.
"Starting now you have until 10:00 to take the bells from me. Make sure you come at me with the intent to kill." He says as Naruto and Sakura disappear into the bushes leaving only me in the training grounds staring directly at Kakashi.
"Oh? Not even going to hide? I don't know if you're brave or foolish." Kakashi says with no sign of him turning his attention away from his book.
"I wanted to test my capabilities and who better than the legendary Kakashi of the Sharingan." I said before vanishing.
"Huh? Where the hell did he go?" Kakashi thought before sensing a presence behind him quickly turning around eyes widening as he sees me with my fist about to strike him before dodging gracefully. Jumping back to distance himself I dash forward not giving him any time to recover throwing nine shuriken 3 to the left and 3 to the right and finally the last three above all charged with lightning chakra arcing back and forth between the shuriken leaving only his rear as escape route before I Shunshin behind him now fully trapping him in all sides.
"Raiton: Sandaboruto (Lightning Release: Thunderbolt)!" I say producing the appropriate hand seals releasing a high discharge through both palms targeting Kakashi.
Kakashi's eyes widening far beyond their capacity in surprise quickly performing a Kawarimi before the lightning strikes the spot he was standing creating a small crater kicking up dust blocking his field of view. Quickly putting his book away getting into a defensive stance. "This kid is scary, I better not underestimate him any further." Kakashi.
"Doton: Rokkusheruta (Earth Release: Rock Shelter)!" Kakashi yells as a dome of stone surrounds him blocking the previous attacks.
The stone dome crumbles from the might of the Lightning Jutsu kicking up dust for a moment until it clears finding an empty dome. Quickly surveying my surroundings looking for any signs of movement. Sensing movement below me I jump up revealing Kakashi surfacing in an attempt to hit me from below.
"Raiton: Gian (Lightning Release: False Darkness)!" I shout before emitting a large lightning shaped spear from my mouth heading straight for Kakashi at lightning fast speeds.
Kakashi's lone eye widens barely dodging the dangerous Jutsu before attempting clash of Taijutsu. Throwing a punch as I meet it with a counter with a flurry of chakra infused punches to Kakashi's torso. "This kids Taijutsu is insane. I have never encountered this style before…" Kakashi inwardly says.
"What style of Taijutsu is that?" Kakashi says as we separate from each other both still eying the others movements.
"I created it myself from watching the Hyuga's Juken style but instead of hitting the Tenketsu points I target the internal organs focused on rupturing them." I said
"That's a pretty terrifying especially how effective it is as I can feel that you got me pretty good." He says in a strained voice as he feels a piercing pain in his stomach.
"You did say to come at you with the intent kill." I say shrugging.
"Hehe that I did." Kakashi says with his infamous eye smile.
"Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" We both here suddenly as 20 Naruto's jump out of the bushes intent on attacking Kakashi for all he is worth. Sighing I walk up to a nearby tree and lean against it as I pull out a pair of bells with a smirk before putting them back to my pocket.
"You can come out Sakura." I say as I watch Sakura walk out of the brush with a sheepish look.
"How is your genjutsu?" I ask looking at her.
"I would say I am pretty good since my chakra control is near perfect."
"Ok then do me a favor would you cast a Genjutsu on Kakashi to make him think he still has the bells." While looking at Sakura in the eyes getting a small blush.
"O-OK sure." She says as I look back at Naruto getting pummeled by Kakashi
"Alright time is up, and it looks like you failed since you didn't acquire the bells from me." Kakashi calls out after a few minutes.
"Actually, sensei your wrong." I say pulling the bells out of my pocket shocking Kakashi.
"How did you get them?"
"In our bout of Taijutsu I swiped them. And I am not going to give these away since I know the true purpose of your exam. Teamwork, I initially stole the bells without you noticing then I moved away to let Naruto distract you further while Sakura cast a Genjutsu on you thinking you still had them. You first tried to create a rift between us by saying that only two of us could have a bell which doesn't make sense considering that all teams are 4-man teams." I say further shocking Kakashi.
"W-Well then congratulations on passing Team 7. You all have the rest of the day off, report back here tomorrow at 6:00" he says before disappearing in a swirl of leaves.
"Well I'll see you tomorrow guys." I say disappearing myself.
Hokage Tower
An elderly man with a white cloak displaying 3rd on the back could be seen sitting at a desk in the room. This man's name was Hiruzen Sarutobi and was currently nursing the stacks upon stacks of paperwork placed around him.
KNOCK* KNOCK*
"Sigh* Come in!" He says putting the stamp down taking a puff from his pipe. Watching Kakashi walk before stopping in front of the desk saluting.
"Hokage-sama."
"Report." The Hokage says gruffly.
"Team 7 has passed their exam." Kakashi says in a serious tone.
"Oh… This is the first team you have ever passed so they must be nothing short of incredible." Hiruzen says with slightly widened eyes.
"Well with Naruto the only notable thing about him is his abnormally large chakra reserves. Sakura with her chakra control but the incredible one is Tensa. He manipulated the situation into working together without them even knowing they were. He even went one on one with me and was managing to hurt me a bit and I am sure he still wasn't going all out. What I am worried about is that he seems to have a greed for power." Kakashi says frowning.
"Hm Tensa eh. Keep an eye on him his qualities are a matter of concern if we get to him to late we could end up with another Orochimaru." Hiruzen says with restrained anger.
"Is that all."
"Hai Hokage-sama." Kakashi says
"Dismissed!" Hiruzen says before Kakashi salutes and leaves the room leaving the Hokage alone to think about this potentially troublesome youth. "Let's hope it doesn't come to that, I would hate to have to resort to such methods again…" He says inwardly.
Back with Tensa
"Ah! I got it finally…" I say as I release a large breath and relax the tension in my muscles from the grueling process. Looking down at the finished production I see a blue tube with a white mass of cells inside.
"Now let's see if I can get it to a point where I can assimilate it with my own body." I think to myself as I prepare the necessary materials. "I should probably get some help to speed up the process." I say to myself.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" I shout summoning three clones of myself nodding to them as they already know what to do.
One month Later
After working on the Uchiha cells for a next month using all the free time I had that wasn't dedicated to perfecting the chimera jutsu that I finally finished a few days ago and doing the absolutely appalling D rank missions. I actually finished it a week ago but I wasn't satisfied with it so I ended up going above in beyond in the hopes the eyes I awaken rival that of Madara Uchiha's by increasing the potency of the cells several times over. I already know that the assimilation into my own DNA with be tough but in the end I think it will be worth it. Looking at the finished cells in the same blue tube in front of me I look at it in awe the color even changed from the white to a darker more sinister black. I think I can finally assimilate the cells as now would be as good a chance as any since Kakashi gave us the week off to rest from all the missions we had done.
"This marks the first step to my ultimate goal to be the strongest to ever live…" I say gaining a darker tone with a maniacal smile. I take the black orb out of the tube.
"Chimera no Jutsu!" I shout as the black mass seemingly absorbed into my palm leaving no trace. For a moment nothing happens until a monstrous pulse flows through my body bringing me to my knee until unbearable pain swirls throughout my body feeling my very cells being torn apart.
"GAAAHH!" I shout before succumbing to darkness…
Author Notes: Hello all I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I had to change a lot of things around since I basically went a little over the top with his power level so I had to rewrite a few portions, I also went a little crazy with the Uchiha cells to an unbelievable level so I toned it down a bit. I greatly appreciate the support and comments so far that have been helpful for me moving forward with new ideas and rethinking things.
Naruto009253- You commented on his appearance which while I understand that you don't like it, but I found that it was needed for his development as a character from his background and also explain why he is the way he is. Don't worry it is not permanent. I was thinking of having them heal from obtaining the Senju or Uzumaki bloodline (Or both) which might be a bit of a stretch, but I will make it work somehow. (I do agree, I might have gone a bit overboard with his scars). The reasons for why he is being tortured will come to light as I sprinkle in flashbacks about his past hopefully giving you more insight. I didn't want to Just give him the Rinnegan and make him way too overpowered in the beginning but bottom line he will get it.
Ragna- I agree with you in the fact that there are way too many female lead stories or yaoi pairings. Not saying that they are bad but me myself prefer a good strong Male Lead harem story. As for the comment about harem ideas I greatly appreciate since most of those pairings I was already thinking about. About Sakura she isn't really a harem member I am pretty much doing what happens in canon with her latching on to the strongest guy next to her. Harem girls are still up in the air since it is a early stage in the story I can do a poll with who to add but as of right now I don't think there is enough exposer to the story yet to get a good amount of votes as it is still early on.
Kevin J Rosario Cruz- I appreciate the feedback and am glad that you enjoyed it as it makes my heart feel good. I hope you will continue to read the story in the future. 😊
