Answer To Last QOTC: The final fight between Naruto and Sasuke

The boost in power from the curse mark is better than I could have ever hoped for.

I expected the power to be lowered after the removal of Orochimaru's soul, but it wasn't.

Though it might be annoying to explain why I have a curse mark shaped scar on the left of my neck if anyone ever were to see it.

And honestly, I'm surprised Orochimaru was even able to get into the village, after all, security is high right now as Kumo is coming over to sign a peace treaty.

Though right now I don't have time to think about how Orochimaru got into the village, as I have to deal with a Naruto begging to be taught a jutsu.

"I'll teach you a jutsu when you master water walking, and I'll teach you water walking when you master the tree exercise, and I'll teach you the tree exercise when you master the leaf exercise," I told him as I tried to perform one of my old jutsus I used to know.

"But the leaf exercise is boring," whined Naruto as a leaf dropped from his head again.

"Well no one said the first steps were fun," I told him, "Now I have to go as my shadow clone in the academy just got popped."

Thinking of Naruto and the academy though there are 7 other people who will be in the same year as Naruto that have some importance.

Ino Yamanaka who is the heir to the Yamanaka clan.

Sasuke Uchiha who is the son of the clan head of the Uchiha clan.

Shino Aburame who is the heir to the Aburame clan.

Kiba Inuzuka who is the son of the clan head of the Inuzuka clan.

Hinata Hyuga who is the heir to the Hyuga clan.

Choji Akimichi who is the heir to the Akimichi clan.

Shikamaru Nara who is the heir to the Nara clan.

Though there are examples of complete nobodies that become important later on.

The Sharingan may not have ocular prowess as good as the Byakugan, but I could still see the Kumo ambassador carrying a bundle with a chakra signature inside while running across the rooftops of Konoha.

Not suspicious at all.

So I teleported in front of him before slamming my knee into his chin, then I grabbed his head and made his eyes look at mine.

And while I may not be the best at genjutsu, I still had a pair of goddamn Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

So I was able to trap him in one long enough for me to grab the bundle.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough"

Before blowing him away.

And unwrapping the bundle I saw a small Hyuga girl whose mouth was duck taped.

An unsealed Hyuga girl.

Meaning it was Hinata Hyuga, the heir to the Hyuga clan.

But before I could do anything I had to quickly dodge a barrage of kunai and shuriken thrown at me by the Kumo nin.

Though I didn't need to worry as Hiashi Hyuga arrived onto the scene and knocked out the Kumo nin.

"Did Kumo just send a Shinobi that had a 6-year-old steal the mission objective from them?" asked Hiashi with a twitch in his eye as he took Hinata from my arms.

"Well, to be fair I am quite a skilled 6-year-old," I answered with maybe just a bit too much arrogance.

"Yes I know, you are known as the greatest prodigy in the village," responded Hiashi with a deadpan, "Well, anyways I thank you for saving my daughter, the Hyuga clan owes you greatly," said Hiashi as he gave a small bow.

And as he turned around to leave I stared into the eyes of Hinata, and as she stared back she cocked her head.

And an image of a chocolate haired girl in a skin-tight astronaut suit popped into my mind.

Ochaco...

Even as 3-year-olds the Ino-Shika-Cho of this generation's team dynamic is almost exactly the same as the last.

Even as a 3-year-old Shikamaru is incredibly lazy and also incredibly smart.

Even as a 3-year-old Choji is focused on food 99% of the time and very kind.

Even as a 3-tear-old Ino is extremely bossy and screams at the other 2 all the time.

Though as I stood there in a tree above them I thought about going down and introducing myself, after all, it can't hurt to at least know the next clan heads of the Yamanaka, Akimichi, and Nara.

"Hey, you guys wanna play ninja?" I called out as I dropped down from above.

A small body crashed into my own before falling over and crashing into the ground, then a small puppy ran over to them and started to nudge them.

I extended a hand for them to pull themselves up with, and the small boy (compared to my mental age not physical) took it.

"What's your name?" I asked as I pulled him up.

"Kiba, Kiba Inuzuka! And this is Akamaru!" he exclaimed as Akamaru licked me.

~A~

"You're a freak!" yelled a boy who looked to be either 6 or 7.

"Yeah! A bug freak!" continued another boy who looked about the same age.

"You're disgusting! You have bugs inside of you!" shrieked a girl who again looked to be the same age.

"Eww," went all of them at the same time.

And the person they were bullying?

An Aburame (presumably based on their comments) boy who looked to be 3 or 4.

But then a girl who looked the same age as me came running onto the scene, "I don't know why you're bullying him, but you won't bully anyone while I'm around!" she yelled as she put herself between the Aburame boy and his 3 bulliers.

It was at that moment I recognised the 4 kids who were about the same age as me.

They were all in my class, and because of that, I knew that the girl would get destroyed.

She was the second to last in the class, while the other 3 were the 5th 7th and 3rd respectively.

"Yukie-san, do you really think you can take on all 3 of them?" I asked as I stepped out from my hiding spot.

"Ah- well, umm, SHUT UP!" she huffed in indignation.

"I-Its Infer! Run!" screamed the other 3 before running off, yeah most of the other kids in my class are kinda scared of me after I took down the entire class once when a taijutsu fight got derailed.

"Hey, are you alright?" I asked the Aburame kid while the other kids took off running.

"Yes, thank you for the help Infer-san," the kid said stoically, he really was an Aburame, being that stoic as a kid.

"Your welcome, uhh?" I said before realizing I don't know his name.

"Shino Aburame" he told me.

"Hey I helped too right!?" yelled Yukie as she ran up to us.

~A~

Now, I think the main question on people's minds from this chapter is Nasu seeing an image of Ochaco Uraraka from My Hero Academia in his mind, don't worry it will be addressed, and it's not just a reference, its a real plot point about him don't will be fully explained near the end of the story.

And yes Yukie is an OC, but don't worry she'll be the only OC.
