Dear readers this is my first ever fanfic and you've been warned it's going to feature a lot of OC'S also my spelling and grammar might not be the best but I try. Throughout the beginning of the story it'll be OC'S who are getting the majority of focus I feel like after a while they'll complement and fall in well with the story, they may seem to be out of place from the start and they may seem OP when they're first introduced but there's a reason behind that as well and the story will get better as it goes along I'm open to any questions and comments you have for me. Hope you'll enjoy the story.

The dead bloods reawakening
13KWords
Hiruzen Sarutobi reclined in his chair sighing loudly. Kami knows he was tired, not just from today's paperwork but from running the village as long as he had.
With the nine tails attack being three years behind them Konoha had slowly started to recover, just recently finishing fixing the last of the property damage the village was still reeling from the death of the beloved fourth Hokage, and all the others who lost there life in the tragic incident.
Iwa still held great resentment for Konaha after being completely wrecked by the fourth Hokage in the war they so foolishly started 5 years ago. If not for their current lack of Shinobi Hiruzen was sure they would've already convinced Kumo into launching a joint invasion before the village was back to full strength.
The Hokage was starting to feel the stress of his job more and more as the days went by and the threats made by Kumo began to look more and more worrying.
Minato was dead, no one in the village even came close to his skill, his own students left the village for various reasons he tried not to dwell on, dark rumors were starting to spread about the Uchiha, little Naruto who was practically starved for love and attention was seen as some kind of second coming of the Kyuubi by the foolish visitors who ignored the fourths wish, and once again Danzo was off the leash.
Hiruzen looked up from his usual paper work and lately depressing thoughts sensing someone approaching his door.
"Come in." The aged Hokage spoke addressing the person on the other side before they could knock.
"Lord Third, some man claiming to be of some clan known as Monogahi request an audience with the Hokage." Came the voice of a brown haired anbu with a woodpecker mask who stood just halfway in the office blocking the door.
Sarutobi's eyes widened slightly. The Monogahi clan were once one of the most powerful in the elemental nations. They were said to have been wiped from the face of the world halfway into the warring states era. their name however still touched all corners of the nation's.
"Where is he?" Hiruzen questioned deciding he'd see the man.
"He's still just outside the northern gate Hokage sama."
"Bring him to me." He commanded not wanting to waste time on the matter.
If the Monogahi clan did still exist they could be invaluable allies or perhaps a fearsome enemy. Best to see why a member of the long extinct clan if what this man claims is the truth would seek an audience with the Hokage for.
A few minutes later a tall male came into view and the Anbu flickered back to place in one of the shadows or enclaves in the room.
The man looked to be in his late forties with the build of a shinobi and striking golden eyes laced with brown flecks floating in the gold around his pupils giving his irises a contrasting golden brown look. Black hair, dark brown skin and a large tattoo of a dragon that started on his right cheek and went down his neck seemingly widening before it went down the mans coller.
He wore black Shinobi sandals, black Shinobi slacks of the finest quality, a brown and black patterned shirt with what looked to be real golden trim matching his eyes. On the shirt he wore was the shape of a diamond with three drops of blood inside, the famous and forgotten emblem of the Monogahi.
He respectfully bowed to the Hokage and Hiruzen nodded in reply before addressing the man.
"I'd be lying if I said this isn't a surprise. To what do I owe the pleasure of meeting a member of the famous Monogahi clan?" He remarked eyeing the emblem suspiciously. He certainly had the look of a ninja of noble bearing but deception was a ninja's greatest tool.
"Allow me to introduce myself Hokage sama, my name is Yoshikawa Monogahi and I am the current clan head of the Monogahi clan. I come to Konoha seeking an alliance between your village and mine."
"Your village?" Hiruzen questioned wondering what village could have possibly been harbouring a clan thought to have been long extinct.
The man grinned before taking a seat in the chair one of the Hokages anbu had just brought in for him. "Allow me to attempt an explanation. I warn you it can get quite confusing at times."
Hiruzen nodding wanting to hear the man's story regardless of how confusing it might be.
"My clan went into hiding shortly after the combined assaults on us started. The elders knew we wouldn't be able to hold out forever so they called upon the sealing prowress of our Uzumaki allies to create a large barrier of spacetime time ninjustu that completely removed the village from the world as we know it, and suspend it in a sort of pocket dimension."
Hiruzen resisted the urge to look at the man as if he thought him stupid. He decided if this was all some sort of elaborate ruse he might as well see where exactly he was going with it.
"When the seal to move the village to it's own space was formulated we added a seal that took the time and space of the area around the village and transported them with us. As a result of us taking the flow of time in that area to ensure our success time never flows onward in the area where the village once remained which is why everyone so easily believed my clan had perished."
"Where once our village stood strong inside a beautiful Valley now lies an uninhabitable wasteland."
"I choose to contact you of all people dear Hokage, because the ideals and the cause of your village spoke to the members of my clan since the day it was established. We may have disappeared from the eyes of the world but we still try to keep an eye on everything."
"And what is it you see exactly?" Hiruzen questioned knowing he was going somewhere but he just hadn't gotten there yet.
"We see that Konoha's enemies are now more numerous than ever and your village still has yet to recover from the nine tails attack or the war. I'd like to barter an agreement that would be rather beneficial to your village." Yoshikawa smiled.
"And that agreement I take it is this alliance between us you mentioned earlier?" Asked a cautious Hiruzen. Wolves were most dangerous when under the cover of sheeps skin.
The man nodded happy that the Hokage was easily following him and hadn't taken to immediately shooting down the offer.
"I've selected a handful of Shinobi from my clan and I would like for them to move here and become Shinobi for your village. Of course they will still be a part of the Monogahi clan but they will be their own clan independent of us, and in return all I ask is Konoha be allies with our village."
Well Hiruzen could definitely say he wasn't expecting the leaf to be offered one of the most powerful kekkei genki in the elemental nations. He knew this could be a trap to destroy Konoha from the inside, espionage and infiltration were some of a shinobi villages greatest tactics against other villages.
Not only that but clans were really protective of their kekkei genki and the head of one of the most powerful clans in history was not only offering their's but also an alliance. Kami knew the village could definitely use one with the way things were right now. He was honestly surprised Kumo hadn't declared war yet with all the political disagreements and threats exchanged between the two villages lately.
"Why is it you choose this time to seek an alliance? What benefit for you and your village are you truly seeking an alliance with my village for?" Hiruzen asked gaze growing from stern to hard.
He wouldn't have someone claiming to be something long gone waltzing up to his village gates and attempting to sell him a dream for whatever reason. Monogahi or not, if Hiruzen saw the man to be a threat to Konoha he'd destroy him here and now without the slightest bit of mercy or remorse.
"I wish for the name Monogahi to once again be known among the corners of the world so that when we do decide to resurface few people will think it smart to challenge us." The clan head replied looking and sounding as if he really meant what he said.
"My village has thrived and expanded greatly over the years. Like I've mentioned though, the village itself is removed from the world. However our clan members have moved around discreetly in the shinobi world helping others less fortunate and taking in those who had no where else to go but would follow."
"Our clans connection with our blood keeps it pure even after generation upon generations of comingling with others. When mixed with the blood of one with a special kind of kekkei genki our blood can integrate and even modify said bloodline." As he said this his golden brown eyes took took on a pale hue and viens spread out from around his eyes.
"This is why the Uchiha and the Hyuga were willing to work together to eradicate us so long ago. Their dojustu among others are in our blood. I'm sure you can imagine the natural greed a clan with this ability would have for kekkei genki and more members in the warring states area. It's why many Shinobi clans united in an effort to destroy us and they might have succeeded if not for our numbers and the help of the Uzumaki."
Hiruzen looked at the man critically studying him closely for any hint of dishonesty.
"I assure you Hokage sama. Me and my clan in no way intend to be in a threat to your village, quite the opposite actually. If you'd like to prove my allegations you're are more than welcome to accompany me to my village to assess the shinobi I'm offering you, and to also prove I'm not wasting your time."
"Hmmm..." Hiruzen thought over the man's words. His intentions seemed good and his words also true enough.
"I find the terms of your agreement acceptable. I hope this will be the beginning of something of a friendship between our villages." The Hokage said standing to take hold of the man's hand in a personal agreement.
He would still have to have the necessary paperwork brought up and consult the clan heads but he was sure most of them would be in agreement. The men shook on it and developed small smiles as all tension left the room.
"Maybe we could do a bit of trading with each other too?" Yoshikawa asked sounding curious. "My village produces a lot of materials and products not found elsewhere and we could use a bit of variety after being secluded for all these years."
Hiruzen nodded in understanding seeing he was coming from and more than willing to jump at the opportunity.
"I can get those trade agreements written up along with the alliance and the clan papers if you'd like."
A lot of Konaha's trade lately was with Ame who had little money to begin with. Due to the hostilities with Iwa and Kumo their was no major trade between Konoha and either of the other great villages who meanwhile still traded with each other.
With Kiri's recent isolation no trade could be made with them, leaving Konaha's biggest trade partner the village of Suna which was also facing a financial crisis. If not for civilian and minor villages Konaha's economy wouldn't be very far from looking like Suna's or Ame's right now. The war along with the nine tails attack right after had done a number on the village, new trade could be just what they needed.
"That'd be excellent actually. Monogahi women love Konaha and Suna style clothing but due to most of our villagers never leaving the village they can only read and dream about them from catalogues."
"Where was that relief for me when I needed it." Hiruzen sighed into a smile thinking fondly of his wives shopping habits before she passed.
Yoshikawa grinned thinking he knew what that sigh was about.
"Oh how my wife used to nag me about increasing trade with Suna so she can increase her exotic dress collection...ahhh women." Hiruzen sighed again.
"Tell me about it, my wife told me she'd kill me if I don't bring back a number of souvenirs. She's probably serious too." Yoshikawa laughed nervously earning a few laughs from Hiruzen who gave him the address of his deceased wives favorite dress shop.
"I'm going to get those papers written up, it'll take me about a day or two to clear it with the councils as well. Even though the final say is mine they still need to be informed of these things. Please feel free to enjoy the village while you're here."
"Thank you Hokage sam-"
"And please no more Hokage sama. Hokage dono if you feel the need to be formal at times but I'd just prefer Hiruzen or Sarutobi." The Hokage cut in.
"Got it Hiruzen, thank you for your hospitality. I'll take a look around as I await your summons."
"Its no problem, I'll see you then and enjoy yourself in the meantime." Hiruzen replied going back to his paperwork as Yoshikawa exited the office.
The day after-Hokage tower council room 2:07pm
Yoshikawa walked into the room and took note of the people and the way they appraised him.
There was Hiruzen at the front of the table noding his head in greeting which he returned.
Next to Hiruzen on his left side was a man with bandages covering his arm and the side of his face. He appeared to have his one good eye closed but Yoshikawa knew the man to be closely analyzing him.
On the left of that man were two elderly members lookin at him with suspicion and to the right of Hiruzen sat his chief advisor Shikaku Nara who looked at him curiously.
Seated around the room randomly were people Yoshikawa figured to be Konaha's respective clan heads and civilian council members who Sarutobi invited to inform on the matter and ask of on opinions. They all too looked at Yoshikawa with curiosity besides the Uchiha and the Hyuga clan heads who to him seemed to be scowling in his direction.
"Now that we're all here let's get started. You all know what this meeting was called for and where I stand on the situation. What we're here to figure out is where you all stand." Hiruzen stated crossing his hands under his chin letting his gaze wander over the room.
"I guess we'll start with the question's, you may begin." Hiruzen finished.
"What is it you really intend to gain from a relationship with Konaha?" Danzo Shimura of Konaha's elder council and leader of its anbu NEE branch spoke up.
"Exactly what I'm sure your Hokage has either told you or showed you in a report of some kind. There is no deception in my words." Yoshikawa answered easily.
Danzo practically accused the man of lying with his gaze alone. "You don't seriously expect us to believe your reasons are so simple do you?"
"Actually I do, if I was plotting something against Konaha it would be more towards my interest to side with Kumo who undoubtedly is doing much better than the rest of the world in terms of economical stability right now and would surely jump at the chance to aquire a bloodline of which I am offering."
"I hear their greed for bloodlines has always exceeded Konoha's which is what makes you their number one enemies, their jealousy and greed. Iwa only became your enemy because of their own foolishness as wanting to be seen as the most powerful ninja village in the elemental nations, a title still held by Konaha though just barely at this point."
"I wouldn't be surprised if Suna became your enemies soon too seeing as they started way laying missions to help the leaf recover from the nine tails attack three years ago and you haven't returned the favor or clientele to the now poverty stricken village." Yoshikawa added casually looking at his finger nails.
Sarutobi looked surprised at the knowledge the man held on matters that should only be known to the upper echelons of the leaf and sand villages, and his knowledge of Suna's financial depression. Really it was no wonder their trade was decreasing rapidly of one was to take the man's words into consideration.
There were a few gasp and whispers around the room as a few clan heads and councilers talked among themselves quietly.
"Kiri is in a very dire situation within itself right now hench their recent isolation. The minor Shinobi villages will not ally with any of the major villages. They'd rather fight a losing war themselves rather than have their own troops pushed to the front lines to fight for a foreign country."
"Your point is?" One frustrated Danzo Shimura in.
"I can offer you trade that'll assure a quick rise back to your former economical status and eventually even greater than before. I want to enact a trade pact between Suna and my village too. One that will also help to boost Suna's economical status." Yoshikawa continued.
"The pact will be enacted as a new trade agreement between Konaha and Suna that the Kazekage would surely be blind to refuse. My village will offer some of our finest goods. Such as clothing and jewelery, along with large quantities of food and material for a low price. Enough to boost Suna's economy back to where it was before their nine tails attack relief effort."
"In exchange my village will only ask for a few rare desert plants animals and the usual goods here and there for every shipment of exotics and supplies we send. This gesture will be seen as payment for Suna's efforts and will also benefit Konaha as you'll also be trading with our village and there will be a large influx of rare goods coming in Konaha and Suna drawing the attention of the minor villages and Kumo who still trades with Suna."
"The goods Konaha and Suna will be receiving will be for the most part different. The fine clothes they get won't be the same as the fine clothes you get, same goes for food jewelry material and anything else we decided to later add to one of the trade agreements."
"The different exotic items popping up within Konaha and Suna will increase trade among you two as well as making you both richer as you also trade with the minor villages, and get richer." Yoshikawa finished grinning at the elder.
No one in the room could deny that if it was one the man could deliver on that offer would prove to be very beneficial.
"If I am to be believed you wish your clan name to be known as you one day hope to establish your own hidden village I must ask...why not just form all of these trade agreements on your own?" The elder pressed taking every word with a grain of salt.
"If your goal is for your clans name to once again be well respected and feared throughout these lands wouldn't destroying the most powerful hidden village help you towards accomplishing that goal?" Danzo threw the words at the man like an accusation before he continued speaking his mind.
"I don't believe for a second you plan to just hand away a bloodline as powerful as yours, no matter how pure the intention may seem." He finished throwing the ball in the other man's court.
Yoshikawa found himself grinning again in awe of the man's tenacity and untrustworthy nature. The shinobi world ran on men like Danzo Shimura and he found he could respect the man for attacking his intentions as he was. Although if his intention was to unmask him he'd be dissapointed when he realized there was no hidden intention to uncover.
"Well that is only because I trust Konaha's leadership. You are also welcome to accompany me to my village if you'd like, Danzo Shimura." Yoshikawa said inwardly beaming at the man who was making this fun for him.
Apparently everyone else was content to allow Danzo to test the man's words without interference. Surely if anyone in the room could root out a hidden agenda it'd be the Shimura.
"If your claim of wanting to be a benefit to Konaha is to be believed I'd like for one of your clan members to be placed under my care."
The Monogahi raised an eyebrow.
"To be placed in your NEE program I take it?"
Gasp and murmurs filled the room again as Danzo stared unfazed at the man challenging him with his gaze.
"How exactly did you come onto possession of the knowledge of my organization?" He questioned with ice in his voice.
"Let's just say I was sure to look into Konoha's military, political, and economic structure thoroughly before deciding to extend an invitation for an alliance." The clan head said rather plainly.
"That doesn't answer my question." Danzo said with a bite to his tone.
"A little birdie told me." Yoshikawa grinned.
Danzo's eye narrowed on the man but he said nothing else deciding since he wasn't likely to get a straight answer it'd be best to just get back to the matter at hand.
Seeing Danzo relented to asking no more questions about it the man moved on to reply to his suggestion.
"I usually wouldn't agree to such a thing but I think it'll be fine as long as you agree to a few deviations from how you treat your usual agents."
Danzo began to find his patience with the man wearing thinner than what it already was.
"This is not an option! How am I to ensure you mean what you say about being a benefit if you aren't willing to agree to my terms?" The man growled clearly fustrated with the Monogahi's continues counters to anything he asked or said.
Yoshikawa's face became serious and he started to actually look his age as he returned Danzo's hard gaze.
"I don't think any respectable clan head would willingly subject one of their own to being broken down by different types of mental psychological and physical torture till their mind breaks and their just living tools."
The room was silent for a moment as all eyes shifted back and forth between the men.
"What exactly do you mean by deviations to my usual treatment of agents?" Danzo spoke after a long silence scowling at the man.
Yoshikawa's smile returned but it wasn't smuge, it was casual as if the man was one who smiled regularly. Danzo found it still was irritating to an extent.
"I will give you two twins who lost their mother and father who happened to be in Konaha during the nine tails attack. They will never become full fledged NEE operatives, they will be raised by you personally as your daughters Imari and Inoha Shimura and trained by you and whoever else you see fit."
Gasp from the various councilers and clan heads filled the room again but Yoshikawa continued as if obvious to them.
"They'll go to the academy when they reach the proper age. They will not be allowed on NEE operations until they're both at least Chunin in rank not skill. I don't care if they want to join NEE they are never permitted, but they are permitted to accompany them on missions and operate as special members, but only after they reach the rank of chunin. They will not be breeding machines for you to produce more and more bearers of our bloodline or I will hunt you down and kill you myself. Also...you will not try to promote a relationship or an arranged marriage of any kind between them."
Most of the rooms occupants were gazing at danzo with wide eyes, fully conscious of just how much the man was likely fuming on the inside.
"They're to be treated as normal girls who's father happens to be on the council while running a top secret sect of anbu blackops on the side. They are not to undergo any mental conditioning and or programming of any kind and if you don't mind I'm sure their kin wouldn't mind training them in the use of their kekkei genki." Yoshikawa finally finished to a room that was deathly silent.
"Fine." Danzo muttered much to the surprise of everyone in the room besides Sarutobi who knew Danzo would never pass up on such a bloodline if it provided him the chance to add it to his arsenal, even if it meant taking on two daughters and possibly apprentices.
"Anymore questions?" Hiruzen asked knowing the answer.
"How did your clan come to aquire the Hyuga clan bloodline? Do all of your members have this trait?" Hiashi demanded an answer more so than asking a question.
"It was aquired long ago in the warring states era when a few members of the Hyuga's abandoned your clan and joined ours, which I'm almost sure is what started the practice of the caged bird seal and yes and no. I'd say about half my clan has the Byakugan in their blood just as we do the sharingan but it's actually very rare for most to unlock them."
"Those who have a strong connection with the blood and actually have the gene for dojustu can try to force them awake but some have died doing that. Generally only those who are very talented awaken one or the other but it's still a small percentage. If you'd like, you all are welcome to a tour of our village as well."
"I'd very much like to take part in this tour." Danzo remarked receiving nods from all of the gathered clan heads as well as the rest of the council.
"Very well, shall it suit both councils a tour of the village will be available for all curious parties before the final decision is agreed upon." Yoshikawa finished unable to help his grin. The moment they began considering accepting the deal was all but agreed upon.
Hiruzen looked around. "Very well we will set out tomorrow for the land of moon. Travel will take two to three days. Pack for a two week long trip and make whatever preparations need to be done for your clans to function in your absence."
3 days later
"We're here." The party stopped and Yoshikawa began forming a long chain of hand signs Fugaku discreetly memorized with his sharingan.
Suddenly it felt as if they were flying and then they were in the middle of a large circle inside a beautiful green valley with seals spreading outwards from a large stone circle running in the middle of the clearing. In the near distance were buildings that by design looked to be older than the leaf itself.
"Welcome to my village or as we like to call it, Darsula." Yoshikawa smiled to his guest as they took note of the several shinobi and civilians crowded in front of them smiling.
The crowd called out to their leader in joy at his return. A lot of shades of various colors seen lying on top of the normal eye color of a large portion of the crowd a larger portion of the crowd having normal eyes of various colors.
The entire crowd had the finest clothing the Shinobi had ever seen, real rubies and gems being embroidered to the fabric. In front of the crowd stood four Monogahi with gold or yellow shaded eyes like Yoshikawa.
They had robes seemingly made out of different kinds of gems and crystals that also happened to look very comfortable.
"I have returned my family!" Yoshikawa called out to the entire crowd earning another set of cheers and shouts.
"As you all know I left the village in hopes of forming an alliance with the leaf village that would prove beneficial to us in the future, and earn us some long time allies in the present. The man you see behind me is none other than the third Hokage of the leaf village Hiruzen Sarutobi!"
The crowd let out another round of cheers for the legendary shinobi who smiled and scratched his cheek shyly at the welcoming villagers.
"He has accompanied me here per request to assure that our little village can hold up our end of the bargain. I expect you all to treat our visitors just as family while their here. The celebration for my return and the beginning of our beautiful new alliance begins in three days."
"I'll be helping to settle in our guest and tending to matters I have missed since I left. Thank you all for showing up to my welcome home. Let's be sure to enjoy our celebration and the company of our guest!" Yoshikawa shouted with enthusiasm causing a group of people in the crowd to do something that put all the leaf Shinobi on edge.
They began running through a chain of hand seals all finishing in unison and turning towards the sky. A huge wind picked up around the valley as a giant balloon that had the words welcome home broke free of the strings that'd been keeping it anchored to the ground.
Everyone in the crowd, even some small children pulled out silver kunai attached with explosive tags and hurled them towards the balloon.
They all started detonating one by one as they all strangely started redirecting themselves as they neared the balloon. Instead of the usual bomb and explosion they blew up in a sparking display of colorful fireworks who's light hovered in the sky as certain seals in specific places held their own letters which hovered in the air unlike the light from the other fireworks which quickly dissipated.
All of the kunai instead of falling back to the ground hovered in the air and danced around where they had started coming together and began forming all shorts of things like flowers and animals. As the fireworks attached to a kunai went off the resulting light would reflect off of the rest of the silver projectiles lighting the sky up with a myriad of dancing animals and plants that constantly changed colors.
This lasted for six minutes as the Hokage and those who accompanied him could only stare in amazement and wonder. As the last of the fireworks went off, underneath a fire breathing hawk, a roaring gorilla pounding his chest, and three drops of blood inside a diamond were the words Welcome Home Yoshikawa!
The Hokage couldn't believe a village could set up a coming home celebration of this magnitude. The words hovered in the air for a few seconds before slowly disappearing from the starting letter.
Yoshikawa had tears in his eyes as he told the villagers how he couldn't thank them enough for their heart warming welcome home and awesome display.
A chorus of cheers and thank you Yoshikawa sama rang through the crowd before all of them began shouting their farewells to their leader and dispersed with smiles and cheery faces.
Yoshikawa turned back to his guest as his family approached him and he received a hug from two little girls who both looked identical, and a fair skinned women heavy with child who the Hokage assumed to be his wife.
"Oh how I've missed you guys. Hey..how did you pull off that display it was amazing! Who planned it?" The man asked smiling at his wife and girls as a young boy around the age of five or six who looked just like the man approached and grinned at his father.
"Me and Nubutaka came up with it and he got the best magnet release users to help him, I knew it was gonna be awesome!" The boy beamed proud of what he helped to accomplish.
"Is that so, that was quite the brilliant thinking. I don't wanna ask how much the silver kunai cost to make but at least we can use them again later. I'm proud of you boys Hamura." Yoshikawa rubbed his son's head affectionately causing him to pull away embarrassed.
"Where is your brother anyway?" Yoshikawa asked looking around.
"Up there." Hamura pointed towards the huge balloon in the sky.
"So that's how they used the magnet style so accurately, brilliant!"
"Hey Nubutaka!" Yoshikawa called up to the sky as they saw a figure leap off of the balloon that had to be over 30 meters in the air.
"Is the boy mad, there's no way to survive a fall of that height." Danzo spoke for the first time since being there as Yoshikawa grinned.
"Here comes big brother!" One of the young girls cheered happily.
As the young man approached the ground he began forming hand signs and much to the shock of the leaf Shinobi as soon as he hit the ground he dropped into his shadow which quickly moved along the ground to the front of the family.
"Welcome back dad." Said the young man smiling as he rose from the shadow.
He wore a black and white long sleeved jacket over a mesh shirt with black shinobi pants and white shinobi style boots with white ankle wraps the likes of which the leaf shinobi had never seen before. White finger less gloves with metal plates, and a long katana on his back, the snow white sheath matching the boys hair as his bright golden eyes shone completely identical to his mothers who's fair skin complexion he adopted instead of his fathers.
1 day later
Yoshikawa walked through the shinobi training district of his village along with Hiruzen, Danzo, Fugaku, Hiashi, Inoichi, Shikaku, Choza, Tsume, the civilian council and the leaf advisors with the leaf shinobi who'd come to serve as a guard detail.
Leaving the village as such with so many important shinobi wouldn't be considered by most to be an intelligent move but if Hiruzen expected the village to be attacked at the moment he would've never left. He knew things would be fine during their short absence and when they returned it'd be as if they'd never left.
They came to an area with a large arena many Shinobi seemed to be battling in at once while many spectators sat off to the sides. The arena was nothing more than a large plot of land surrounded by stone walls and wooden benches for spectators and people waiting their turn.
Yoshikawa told them this was their dueling arena and something of a training field. He intended to give the Hokage a demonstration of what three of his new shinobi would be capable of.
"Nubutaka I'd like you to spare with Amaris since if the Hokage agree's to our alliance she'll be going to Konaha along with you. This will be a good chance to show them just what you two are capable of and why you'd make invaluable assets to the leaf."
"Right away." Nubutaka said walking over to a girl with long silver hair and deep blue eyes yellow specks could be seen floating inside.
She wore a short white kimono that stopped at her thighs and had blue and yellow flowers on it matching her eyes. Underneath the kimono she wore mesh body armor and a pair of black leather shorts she had a dagger and kunai holder strapped to. Black knee high konochi sandals and a katana with a blue gaurd with a white blue and gold hilt that matched the black and gold on the sheath.
Nubutaka stopped in front of her and exchanged a few words while Yoshikawa ushered the leaf Shinobi to the benches made for spectators.
By the time the leaf Shinobi were comfortable Nubutaka stood in the arena across the the girl named Amaris.
A man with the build of a shinobi who lacked the Monogahi eyes stopped walking as he spotted the two and ran up to the side of them.
"May the Third match between Nubutaka Monogahi Herald of steel and shadows, VS Amaris Monogahi mistress of lighting and wind...begin!" The man signaled bringing his hand down between the two and backing up.
"So you keep an official referee here at all times?" Hiruzen asked not taking his eyes off the fighters in the arena which had cleared out once Nubutaka and Amaris took their places inside it.
"No, anyone who's around at the time and knows score acts as a referee. The man who's doing it now just so happened to have known this will be the third fight between the two and also was the first to get there." The clan head replied.
"What about the nicknames?" Tsume asked the question the others had been thinking.
"In our clan we like to give our own nicknames when their level of skill with a certain things reaches heights beyond the average. You'll see why both of them earned theirs." He finished looking towards the two fighters who still hadn't moved.
"So I take it you want me to go first again?" The girl with the blue and golden eyes spoke looking at the man before her curiously.
"Naah I can go first if you'd like." Nubutaka smiled and took out a handful of shurekien he hurled at the girl with all the speed and skill of a jonin.
She just stood there seemingly ready to face the attack head on when suddenly a gust of wind picked up and knocked the shurieken to the ground harmlessly.
Nubutaka smiled and pulled his right arm back making the ninja wire he'd attached to the ninja stars visible as his shadow began travelling through the shadow made by the wire emerging from the ground in a flurry of spikes where the girl had once been standing.
She was in the air now falling towards Nubutaka who pulled out a Kunai and blocked the downward slash of her blade. Pushing down her weight and flipping off the handle the konochi landed a few feet away from the man who apparently fought like a Nara.
"That girls speed and acrobatic ability are impressive." Hiruzen commented impressed at the way she'd flipped off her own sword and the speed she briefly demonstrated in doing so.
Shikaku who'd done his research on the Monogahi didn't need to ask how one of them knew the Nara's Justu.
Yoshikawa smiled. "You haven't really seen anything yet."
"You've been getting a lot of wins lately lately so I'll fight you seriously from the start." The girl moved a strand of her long oddly colored silver hair out of her face.
"That sounds awesome." Nubutaka smiled pulling out a trench dagger.
A strong wind picked up around the girl making her hair move in different directions with it. Most of the leaf envoy wondered what she was doing and how she'd used the advanced looking Justu with no hand signs.
Suddenly the ground underneath her feet broke and she was in front of Nubutaka who smiled gleefully and faded into a shadow before a wind enhanced punch could touch him.
He resurfaced a few feet away and much to the surprise of the crowd the girl's wind armor became a storm that surrounded her in a way that was similar to the Riakages lighting cloak. She appeared right in front of the man seemingly teleporting. She swung a gentle fist style jab at the his torso quicker than most eyes could follow but her hand stopped less than an inch away from the man who's shadow was now connected with hers.
Nubutaka swung his trench blade at the girl with all the speed looking as if he was intent on going for the kill when suddenly in a flash of lightning she vanished and reappeared behind him swinging her katana at his back only to have it blocked by a clone of him that rose from his shadow.
Nubutaka capitalized on her surprise and began a fierce assault with a kunai and his trench dagger, his shadow popping up off of the ground to block or counter attack for him compensating for the massive speed difference but anybody with eyes could see he was beginning to get overwhelmed as the silver and purple streak that was Amaris only seemed to get faster kicking up dust and blurring as she moved.
The spectators wondered how Nubutaka could keep up with her.
Suddenly when she came in for another attack instead of letting his shadow rise to counter just in the nic of time Nubutaka brought his trench blade up to block the downward swing of the katana the speed difference allowing her katana to dig into his shoulder slightly before his trench blade stopped it from disabling or severing the now wounded limb.
His shadow stretched out paralyzing the girl temporarily as another clone rose from the line connecting them taking a swing at the girl with its replica trench blade, her surprise at his change in strategy wearing off quickly enough for her to gather the chakra she needed to use the lighting flash teleportation justu mentally without hand signs.
She reappeared a short distance away and saw a kunai heading her way as she soundly dodged the speed boast from her cloak making it too easy. Suddenly the kunai redirected behind her which she couldn't see.
It hit her lighting armor and was repelled sticking in the ground a few feet behind her as she smirked.
"Nothing gets through my malestorm chariot." She said confidently, the lighting and wind around her form giving the beautiful women a slightly intimidating look as the ground beneath her feet cracked as it struggled to hold under the pressure of the wind and the power of her lightning.
"It wasn't meant to get through." Nubutaka smiled as a ninja wire attached to the kunai came into view. Before she could run she was trapped in another shadow binding justu.
Nubutaka knowing she'd use her justu to teleport had his shadow place a small metal ball on her while she was distracted.
Sure enough as he predicted she teleported out of his binding a few feet away and began running through hand signs.
"Lighting style: Shock current!" Amaris held out her left hand as a powerful current of lighting struck the spot Nubutaka had been standing in a moment before.
Lightning style: Grand shock carpet!" Amaris slammed her hand into the ground causing a huge current of lightning to run around the entire field of the arena forcing Nubutaka out of his shadow.
She was upon him in moments attacking in a flurry with her katana. Nubutaka's shadow blocked a swing of the blade only for Nubutaka to end up having to block another blow from the opposite direction less than a second later as the girl began moving so fast Nubutaka and his shadows were becoming blurry as well trying to keep up.
Even Fugaku who had his sharingan active was very impressed with the girls speed and the boys reflexes as he seemed to be predicting her movements almost like he had a sharingan but Fugaku saw nothing indicating that assumption to be true.
The girls storm chariot seemed to be getting weaker as Nubutaka only got more precise with his defense and his counter attacks. His shadow blocked another lightning fast sword stroke but only a second later she'd found a weakness in his defense as he was about to be harshly slashed across his side. He lifted his hand and threw it to the side, the konochi finding her body pulled in the direction he indicated caught herself in mid air righting her self and skidding to a halt a few feet away.
She reached into her clothes and removed the small metal ball he'd used to magnetise and control her. She threw the ball far into the woods where it wouldn't be a problem.
Nubutaka pulled out a bunch of kunai, nine in total four in each hand and one in his mouth. He hurled them towards the girl as he made two shadow clones out of his shadow.
He and his copies eyes morphed into a deep crimson three tomoe surrounding their pupils. One clone started using magnet style to redirected and changed the path of the kunai so they all constantly rebounded off each other continuesly attacking the girl from various angles, keeping her distracted with evading the never ending barrage as the other began running through hand signs and Nubutaka watched the barrage not missing a beat.
Amaris while being bombarded and constantly pressured by kunai so she couldn't teleport called on something she hadn't used in a spare in years knowing one of the kunai would blindside her eventually if she didn't.
"Byakugan!" Her deep sapphire eyes took on a white hue as viens bulged out from them on the side of her face and she had an easier time dodging the kunai that seemed to be coming from all directions and never stopped.
The real Nubutaka threw his last kunai into the barrage and used the substitution justu to switch places with it without interrupting the barrage. With a speed few of the shinobi present could follow Nubutaka began substituting with the kunai that were still assaulting the girl disappearing and reappearing striking at the girl who surprisingly could always block his attack before he teleported away as if using the Harashin.
The clone he'd made was still on the sidelines preforming hand signs for the shadow clone justu replacing every kunai it's master switched places with and making sure the flow of the kunai barrage was not interrupted for even a second least the skilled konochi escape. His other clone was controlling the kunai barrage as well as using a visual link that came with these kind of clones to show the real Nubutaka where it'd be best to use the replacement justu amoung the barrage and to make sure the other clone could keep up with them both.
Nubutaka was wearing down the girl who found herself now struggling to keep up even with her storm chariot. With a yell her cloak of storm exploded outwards in a burst of lightning and wind knocking back Nubutaka along with his kunai and dispelling his clones.
What she did next surprised the leaf shinobi one in particular though as she held her left hand up putting her right hand around her wrist as lightning began forming on her hand and the sound of a thousand chirping birds filled the ears of the spectators.
"Let's end this shall we?" She said grinning challengingly at her opponent.
"Sure considering we're both doing a number on our reserves right now." Nubutaka answered back sounding more tired than he actually was as he pulled out his trench blade.
The girl smiled and moving her katana to her right hand. Nubutaka held his trench blade in his left hand and a kunai in the other.
She smiled as she charged, cracking the ground underneath her and creating a trail of destruction as she approached the man who stood still.
She reached him and attempted a round house swing with her sword which he quickly dodged, not wasting the momentum she kept spinning bringing the chidori around to graze Nubutaka's chest as he lifted one of his fingers and suddenly ninja wire sprung from the ground connecting to certain kunai in the wall or floor of the arena.
The wire snapped into place before the girl could react trapping her arms legs and neck as she attempted not to struggle least the bindings tighten and removed her head or one of her limbs.
Before she could use her lightning flash teleportation justu Nubutaka already had his blade at her neck, two shadow clones rising from the shadow of the wire on either side of her placing their blades against her too making sure she couldn't get away without great risk to herself.
"Winner of the match, Nubutaka Monogahi herald of steal and shadow!" The random Shinobi guy spoke as the crowd of locals and even a few of the leaf shinobi erupted into wild applause.
"That was quite the match. Your son and that girl are both exceptional ninja. I haven't seen speed like either of theirs since the fourth Hokage, and their skill in combat goes without mentioning." Hiruzen said sounding as if he wasn't shocked at the battle he'd just witnessed.
The way Nubutaka used yin and magnet style as well as the kunai shadow clone technique to trap the girl in an endless storm of kunai along with the way he used the replacement justu like a make shift harashin without ever making a necessary kunai fall out of place as he teleported around the barrage trying to find an opening in the girls defense as she seemed to be quick enough to keep up with what seemed like teleportation.
Needless to say she had impressed him too with her incredible speed mastery over wind and lightning the likes of which the only Kakashi could say he matched.
Her chariot as she called it was something special and given a few years it was possible it might even surpass the Riakages lightning cloak as his justu only used one element while hers used two. Not to mention the visual prowress the two just showed. An average Uchiha wouldn't have been able to replicate what Nubutaka had just done with or without magnet style, it took a lot of skill to preform that technique the way he had.
Hiruzen had never seen it before but he was sure Fugaku was just as impressed and for the girl to withstand the technique as long as she had spoke wonders of her skill and visual prowress. He also doubted most Hyuga would've survived that attack as they didn't have the speed to keep up.
He couldn't believe this man would just give him such talented ninja who both appeared to be no older than 24 and had their whole lives ahead of them to get stronger.
Danzo though as calm a man as he was was getting nearly giddy on the inside. To think he'd have the same bloodline these two held in the form of two daughters soon. He'd always wanted Uchiha and Hyuga ROOT operatives he wondered if his apprentices would awaken the ocular dojustu's.
It made him angry to think of all the possibilities Yoshikawa's terms had robbed him of but either way he could still use them to strengthen and protect the village and if in a few years one of his prodigies ascended to the seat of Hokage with his ideals then even better for the village.
Fugaku didn't know what to think really. He'd been highly upset when the man activated a sharingan and used it as if it was normal to him, but the abilities of the man spoke for themselves. If a third of the members of the Monogahi in this village possessed the capability to awaken the Uchiha's bloodline that was a problem but realistically he knew there was nothing he could do about it.
He did however contemplate the idea of an arranged marriage between one of the Monogahi and the Uchiha. Perhaps the boy who stood in the arena right now. An Uchiha clan with the magnet style would be the most feared and respectable clan to ever grace the elemental nations.
Hiashi was outraged to see someone who wasn't a Hyuga so easily activate a Byakugan as if it belonged to their clan rather than his. Then to make matters worse she lost to someone using the sharingan, but Hiashi was not so foolish that he couldn't see the value in this.
Perhaps an arranged marriage between the girl in the arena and one of his clan would be beneficial. A Hyuga with her storm cloak abilities would be the fiercest warrior to ever grace the battle field. The Hyuga would undoubtedly be the strongest clan in Konaha.
Tsumi was impressed by both fighters, she wondered if anyone here had abilities specific to her clan and if not what could they do if they did?
Shikaku was equally impressed but more so with Nubutaka's intelligence, his battle field strategy, and his use of the Nara's style of yang release it looked like he'd created new justus for.
"That guy fights like a Nara who actually likes and excells at combat. If the elders find out about this they'll want me to arrange a marriage with him and some consenting high up female within the clan, what a drag."
Inoichi was smiling ear to ear.
"This could be what the Yamanaka have needed so long to redefine our offensive capabilities. I've never seen the Nara's yang release used so offensively before. Perhaps I can arrange a marriage with this boy and one of our female higher ups. If only Ino was older...I'm sure this guy could redefine our justu if that was his work on the Nara's."
Choza's was impressed but his thoughts were mostly occupied with trying to remember what time they ate lunch.
Shikuro Aburames thoughts were similar to Inoichi's as he wondered how the kikka beetles would react to a lightning cloak or how they could be better used by someone possessing magnet style.
Kakashi who'd come as a bodyguard needed to exchange a few words with his fellow silver haired lightning user about where she learned that last Justu.
Might Gai was attempting to leap into the arena to challenge one of the impressive fighters but found three other leaf jonin holding him back.
"Nubutaka!" Yoshikawa called to the boy who looked up.
"I'd like for you to do battle with Yukushia next."
The young hier nodded his consent and walked over to a bench that had a girl with long white hair with a black streak and bright green eyes with yellow floating around in the irises. She wore a white and black kimono with green and yellow flowers, gold trimming and a grey and white obi, she had on black konochi heels which few could actually do battle in.
Unbeknownst to the casual observer underneath her kimono she wore a dark leather body suit which was covered by her mesh armor.
After the heir spoke with the girl for a short period of time they both body flickered to stand inside the arena on opposing ends as a random civilian women ran to stand in the middle of the pair raising her hand.
"May the fifth match between Nubutaka Monogahi the Herald of steel and shadows, VS Yukushia Monogahi Lady of beautiful death...begin!" The women dropped her hand and a man flickered to her quickly removing her from the arena.
The ground around Yukushia erupted as a small forest of tree's sprang to life around the beautiful brunette. Not even a second later a large amount of roots tore out of the ground giving chase to Nubutaka who quickly tried flickering away only to be followed.
He impressed a few of the onlookers, in thinking and reacting fast as one of the large roots almost crushed him but he quickly faded into the shadow it cast over his body.
As he reappeared a short distance away Yukushia stood in the same spot, her left hand going through seals, her right hand on the ground. Nubutaka's instincts told him to move and he followed as the jaws of a huge plant like creature rose from the ground and slammed shut where he'd been standing a second ago.
He opened a scroll and threw two large fuma shurekien at the creature which was barreling through the dirt towards him. Two clones rose from his shadow, one taking control of the fuma shurekien and the other using the shadow binding justu to stop the fast approaching roots in place with their own shadows.
The original pulled out 9 kunai 4 in each hand one in his mouth, he streamed chakra through all 8 kunai he held simultaneously and hurled them as far as he could into the air quickly forming a set of hand signs the third Hokage knew well.
"Multi kunai shadow clone justu!" Nubutaka yelled smiling as if he liked this technique as the hundreds of kunai now filling the sky continued on there way upwards.
The fuma shurekien the clone had speed up using the magnet style hit the speeding plant like creature rebounding off if it like steel. As the creature started giving chase to one of Nubutaka's clone the real Nubutaka pulled the discarded fuma shurekien back with the magnet style and began using them to tear apart the large roots the other clone still had in shadow binds.
The plant like creature finally closed in on the clone who smiled running through a quick chain of seals.
"Summoning: steel moon cage trap." The clone slammed his palms on the ground and the creature was trapped in a steel cage which only had the top open.
The creature banged against the wall only being able to tunnel or swim. Nubutaka knew from his past battles with Yukushia that the creature couldn't jump.
"Turning around after butchering the roots the original and the other clone used magnet style to pull on the now falling kunai while the clone standing beside the cage made chakra strings righting any kunai in the wrong position and streaming chakra to a few for added attack power.
He pulled hard on the chakra strings he now had attached to all kunai as the other Nubutaka's pushed down on them with the magnet style.
The resulting kunai strikes all hit the cage like a missle barrage, the entire cage being destroyed by the powerful rain of kunai as the creatures steel like skin couldn't endure and it was unsummoned.
Nubutaka and his clones then began rushing towards Yukushia who'd been standing in her make shift forest the entire time.
As they approached vines began to shoot out of the tree's at speeds chunin would be hard pressed to dodge while roots came from the ground.
Nubutaka began slashing his way through any approaching vines and roots, his shadow blocking any he'd missed and he eventually felt both of his clones get taken out. Nubutaka finally reached the center of the forest and came to a stop a few feet away from Yukushia who'd drawn her katana already.
Vines raced from the tree's as Nubutaka smiled and began forming hand seals with one hand while the other threw a kunai with a flash bang attached to it in the air.
"Slicing shadows Justu!" Nubutaka finished his last one handed seal as the flash bang went off creating large shadows from the tree's. Shadows started to raced from everywhere in the arena and butchered the entire forest in seconds.
"Yin release: shadow stitching shadow prison technique." Nubutaka used the shadows he gathered and sent them rushing towards Yukushia who smiled.
"Yang release: Solar flare!" The kunochi started glowing like a miniature sun melting the shadows that approached her into nothingness.
Nubutaka closed the distance between them in one flicker hiding in the flash of light.
His kunai clashed with her katana as roots rose from the ground attempting to grab the man's legs.
He countered the girls smile with one of his own.
"Yin release: Walker of shadows." Nubutaka faded into his own shadow.
He reappeared a short distance away and began hurling kunai at the girl avoiding being skewered whenever a root got too close.
As she blocked kunai after kunai she closed in on him again as her sword continued to clash with his driving him back as she used the thing as if it were an extension of her being.
She began attacking simultaneously with her roots moving out of an attack letting her roots in and moving in quickly from another angle. Her attacks began becoming unpredictable as Nubutaka could only focus on defense.
Nubutaka parried blow after blow for three tiring minutes before his golden brown eyes turned a deep crimson three tomoe spinning to life around his pupils.
"Think the sharingan will help you?" Yukushia smiled as she continued her assault which she noticed Nubutaka was keeping up with easier.
"Oh but it will." He replied avoiding another root and ducking low to avoid the lethal sword swing that followed.
He jumped into the air in an arch over the girl and started hurling kunai at her faster than anyone who hadn't knew the fourth had ever seen kunai thrown. She deflected all of them and turned to face him as he landed.
Getting into her stance she readied to charge but Nubutaka flicked one of his fingers smiling as the ninja wire attached to the kunai which were spread around her became visible and snapped together trapping the poor girl in a make shift spider web that bound both her arms wrist legs ankles and neck.
Quickly with his other hand he ran through one handed seals.
"Shadow stitching justu."
Sharp tendrils rose from his shadow and the shadows of the large roots which were rushing towards him. The tendrils quickly drilled through the roots rendering them useless, and drilling into the entire ground around the immediate area making it impossible for her to create more roots to come to her aid.
"Winner of the sixth battle between Nubutaka and Yukushia Monogahi, Nubutaka Monogahi herald of steel and shadow!" The crowd went wild at the conclusion to the epic battle.
"We've really gotta start paying attention to your use of ninja wire." Yukushia smiled.
"Hey I'm not the only one. If I'd have tried to fight you inside of your forest I'd have easily like the last time." Nubutaka said loosening the wire and setting her free.
"Just consider yourself lucky I couldn't use my poisons with this crowd around us." Yukushia smirked as her and Nubutaka shared a laugh.
In the crowd
"What was that?" Danzo asked their host unable to recall a kekkei genki that let one control plant life besides wood style.
"Nature style, a kekkei genki that uses the same affinities as wood style but manipulates plants instead of wood. Though not as great for combat as wood style it's great for medical justu poisons espionage intel gathering and gardening." Yoshikawa smirked at his last statement which was meant as a joke but also true.
"Interesting." Danzo replied turning his eye back to the arena.
"Father can I go next?" Hamura asked looking hopefully towards Yoshikawa.
"Of course, try to find someone on your skill level Hamura." He said as his son ran down to the outer arena just outside the main battling area where most of the shinobi spectators stood.
To the surprise of the Konoha party Hamura started talking to a young Monogahi of around eleven who had been dominating another Monogahi boy of around his age while the small boy was only five. They made their way to opposite ends of the arena.
"I forgot to mention, Nubutaka, Amaris, Hamura, and Yukushia are considered prodigies among our clan."
Hiruzen nodded now understanding why the boy was choosing to face someone much older than himself.
For a second everyone looked around then a small boy ran forward to stand between the two sheepishly rubbing his head.
"May the 13th match between Hamura and Gaedon Monogahi begin!" The small boy flickered away to the surprise of the leaf shinobi and civilian council.
"Waters style exploding water shock wave!" Gaedon shouted spitting a powerful torrent of water from his mouth creating a large rushing wave of water that threatened to engulf an entire third of the arena.
"Fire style great fire anahlation!" Hamura breathed a massive torrent of fire that only got bigger as it went. The leaf observers were completely in shock and starting to think the battle between the insanely powerful boys may turn into a threat for those present.
A lot of the Darsula village spectators smirked noticing the two were showing off. This would be a short battle considering they'd both just used two over the top techniques.
The large Justus collided shrouding the entire arena in a hot mist the none Hyuga observers had no idea what was going on in as the sounds of clashing metal could be heard.
"Earth style rock bushine!" The crowd heard Hamura called out as more metal clangs could be heard.
"Lightning style shock sky net!" Gaedon called as the crowd saw a large spark of electricity go off then dissipate.
"Wind style hurricane armor!" Hamura called parting the mist as a vortex of wind swirled around his entire body and pushed it away.
"Lightning style lightning armor!" Hamura charged Gaedon his usual genin level speed that of an low chunin now.
Gaedon countered a kunai strike with a kunai strike of his own and for a while the two engage in a sort of kenjustu battle with their kunai till Gaedon saw an opening and swept Hamura's leg out from under him pinning him with a kunai.
"Winner of the 13th match between Hamura and Gaedon Monogahi, Gaedon Monogahi!" The little boy shouted quicker than most people had known he was back in the arena.
The crowd erupted into another round of cheers and applause.
"Those kids must be at jonin level in ninjustu, only Madara Uchiha could use that fire justu and the water style exploding shocking wave takes a decent amount of chakra and control." Shikaku thought.
"Amazing those kids would probably beat most of the genin in our village with ninjustu skills and speed like that. How did they get so good?" Inoichi asked looking towards Yoshikawa.
"Everyone in our clan is naturally skilled in ninjustu. Even some A ranked justu come easy to us if it's within our chakra capabilities and our elemental affinity." The clan head replied watching his son laughing with the boy he'd just lost to.
"Amazing." Shikaku said wondering what the hell they feed the kids here.
"About your clans natural affinity for elemental ninjustu. How come your oldest son hasn't used anything besides yang release and the magnet style?" Shikaku asked.
"Those of our clan with white hair usually have an affinity for two elements and a very strong affinity for something rare like magnet or yin or yang style. Those of us with black hair have a strong affinity for all elements and tend to have more chakra. My oldest gets his white hair and the genes that come with it from his mothers father. He has an affinity for yin release and yang release, which he really hardly uses and magnet style or course which he has in common with his grandfather."
"Surely he is an admirable man and a worthy adversary!" Gai commented with his usual enthusiasm.
"Leader sama, if you don't mind I'd like to speak with Amaris about one of her justu." Kakashi cut in.
"Sure, remember you guys are guest here. Please make yourselves welcome."
"Thank you leader sama."
Later that day after a number of rather impressive matches and being introduced to the Monogahi shinobi who would be moving to Konoha to form their own clan the leaf villagers all went about on their own various adventures or endeavors.
Gai stayed at the dueling ground challenging random Monogahi all of whom he found more than eager to spare.
Danzo and his body gaurds were taken to be introduced to his new daughters.
Hiruzen and his personal gaurds went to go dress shopping for the Hokages daughter who much to his dismay shared his late wife's extravagant taste.
Shikaku laid in one of the villages many beautiful gardens resting.
Inoichi talked Choza's head off about the possibilities mixing the Yamanaka and Monogahi blood could carry as Choza stuffed his face at one of the villages best barbecues.
Tsume paid a visit to the village kennels that housed the nunken.
Hiashi and Fugaku discussed their mutual discovery that their clans dojustu weren't exclusively their's and what they thought of the Monogahi.
And Kakashi wanting answers flickered behind the silver haired girl who'd used his signature justu earlier.
The girl who felt as if someone was watching her all day after she'd left the arena turned around and saw the most striking man she'd ever laid eyes upon.
"Uh-uhm can I help you?" She asked nervous as he eyed her critically.
"Where'd you learn that lightning condensing justu? The one you used at the end of your match?" Kakashi asked in a serious tone.
"Well Mr. serious, if you really wanna know you'll have to ask me later, perhaps on a dinner date." The Monogahi smirked as the golden flecks in her eyes grew a bit brighter.
Kakashi searched his mind for a reason she would choose that specific condition for him to have his question answered when it hit him and he looked at the beautiful women in shock.
"Oh my gosh you're so cute don't make that face! I'm pretty sure a handsome guy like you probably has his fair pick of the ladies back in Konaha." She smiled stepping a bit closer to observe him closely.
Kakashi on his part only blushed harder and averted his gaze.
"Oh my gosh you haven't! Could it be you're a virgin?" The kunochi asked tilting her head and getting yet closer.
"What kind of question is that to ask a total stranger!" Kakashi shouted embarrassed.
"Oh my gooosh so it's truuue...Don't worry mask kun! I am too surely this must be fate! I mean we both have silver hair it's only right we end up having sex one day and getting married and having babies and- waaait mask kun!" Amaris called as Kakashi who'd already had his fair share of embarrassment and had started developing a nose bleed when she mentioned sex and babies and hurriedly bolted away across the roaf tops.
-5 days later-
Around 50 members of the Monogahi clan stood with the leaf party in the middle of the sealing array they'd been teleported to the place inside.
It'd been a glorious stay for all the visitors excluding Danzo who only wanted to return to the leaf to begin training his new daughters who despite his protest clung to his side since he'd been introduced as their new father.
The two day celebration had been an evening all that participated in would remember. The Monogahi were extremely welcoming a trait that also carried over to the civilian family's.
Tsumi and Choza had the time of their lives once word got out that the two had an appetite. They had been invited into home's or restaurants to feast or to dine more times than they could remember.
Staying over people's house's during their stay eating breakfast, going out to eat, sparing, going back to the house for lunch, going out to eat again, sparing, going in the house to eat dinner, drinking and playing cards sharing stories, wake up go over someone else's house for breakfast.
The two had never knew such hospitality in a foreign village or even in their own that made them so immediately comfortable. Some of the villagers loved them so much the first request for a barrier pass had been sent to Yoshikawa about them which he agreed to and told the two to feel free to visit any time as long as they kept the villages existence and location a secret from all but their most trustworthy family members.
Inoichi having also received a pass on his last day in the words of more than a few villagers was the life of the party. He'd gotten tipsy and next thing you knew he had everyone trying to out dance him.
He'd blacked out a few times during the celebration but always found himself cared for as if he was in his own home no matter where he had been by total strangers who considered it a pleasure to help him. Inoichi loved that such a powerful and wealthy village governed by a clan could be so hospitable. He hoped for strong ties between Darsula and Konoha in the near future.
Shikaku had slept through most of it often times waking up and finding people relaxing or sleeping in the field around him. He even received a scroll on the yin release techniques Nubutaka had learned so far as well as gotten a few good shogi games in. All in all he thought the village and it's inhabitants to be very peaceful and relaxing. Signing this agreement with them was definitely the best move for the leaf right now. He woke up to a barrier pass and a note inviting him to nap under the clouds of Darsula village again sometime.
Hiruzen who spent most of his time talking to shinobi and civilians alike about the world outside their village and his life as Hokage found the beautiful village and it's cheery people to be entirely charming. He hadn't known answering questions none stop for so many days would be enjoyable.
Danzo had spent his time learning more of the Monogahi clans kekkei genki and what abilities might manifest themselves in the new Shimura hier's in the future, as well as having a few talks on other matters with Yoshikawa and Nubutaka.
The councilers had just tailed the Hokage and his personal escorts or Danzo when they could find him for the majority of the trip.
Kakashi had found himself ditfully trying to avoid his new stalker, not that Kakashi didn't find her attractive, quite the opposite. He found her extremely beautiful and powerful as well which made him nervous when she'd talk casually to him of her romantic feelings or sexual desire's. Kakashi having never spared time to anything other than his ninja career in life and never finding a female he thought worthy of his time simply didn't know how to react.
Gai had brawled with a countless number of Darsula villagers, most from the Monogahi clan and gained himself a barrier pass and a few buddies who seemed to be as enthusiastic about training together again sometime as him.
Fugaku and Hiashi both spoke with Yoshikawa about an arranged marriage and an alliance of shorts between their clans which the clan head politely rejected saying that the fate and lives of those in his clan were their own to control.
Neither of the stern clan heads could have been said to have had enjoyed themselves but they both saw and opportunity in ensuring close ties with the Monogahi who'd be moving to Konaha as the villages newest clan.
The others who accompanied the group had spent the trip guarding the Hokage and council members just as a formality when they all realized they were completely safe.
Needless to say most of them would miss something they'd grown fond of during their brief stay in Darsula village.
"Nubutaka, Hamura." A tall fair skinned women with the brightest yellow eyes in the village and floor length black hair stepped away from the side of Hamura and stood smiling away tears at her sons who were all set to depart to the leaf village with around fifty more members of their clan.
"It has been an honor raising and watching you both grow into the young men you are today. Take care of each other and more importantly the clan. I know your father made the right decision choosing you to be its first clan head Nubutaka. You always were too smart for your own good." Nubutaka smiled sadly at his mother's complement.
"Hamura since your brother will be the clan head it'll be his job to protect and look out for everyone and as such it'll be your job to protect him, so you'll need to be the strongest in the clan maybe even the leaf village if u can be." Hanaha huged her sons wishing her children weren't among the most talented in the village and Yoshikawa did make a good point when he said it'd be cruel for them to ask this of others if they weren't willing to do it themselves.
Hamura teared up returning the hug promising he would. It was a sad event as everyone said their goodbyes and suddenly the return party to the leaf village was standing in a forest again five miles east of the place they would now all call home.
Fun fact #1
I never intended to upload this fanfic here or anywhere. I made it to help me cure my occasional boredom but when my note pad got full a couple words into the second chapter I realized all the time and thought I put into the story so far and figured why not, I might as well upload this somewhere. So I copy pasted and added words to make it all kinda make sense and that's where chapter one and two come from and why they have so many errors. Originally the fic was just something I'd work on when I was bored. I'm working on the errors in between writting chapters though.
