Author's Notes

Been a few days, I didn't get to finish this when I first started writing so I kinda put it off for a bit. I'm hoping to start the first phase of the exams next chapter, unless you guys want a chapter dedicated to Dinner at Shisui's.

This next part doesn't have anything to do with the story (at least not yet), but a cool concept came to mind not long ago, this is just a what if situation. So, what if someone from our world got sent to the Naruto world, and due to their lack of chakra they act as a sort of vacuum and absorb nature energy, now what if that causes a similar reaction to those from Jugo's clan, turning them into some sort of beast? Just playing around with that idea, let me know your thoughts. I might include the concept in this fanfic in it's own arc with another OC, or I could write a new fanfic dedicated to the concept with a different MC.

Anyways that's all for now. Feedback is always welcome.

I don't own Naruto.

Please enjoy.

Chapter 13

Tenseigan Telekinesis. Probably not it's actual name but it's what I call it cause that's basically what it is. An ability that's most easily compared to the Deva Path of the Rinnegan, but there's a major difference between the two. While the Deva Path gives the user the ability to manipulate the forces of attraction and repulsion on objects and people, the Tenseigan's version is more like traditional telekinesis, far more precise.

It's not without its limitations of course. For one, it's far weaker, no flattening entire villages, and while it is capable of picking up living beings, it's rather useless if it's used on somebody who can use chakra. It is possible to use on a chakra user, but it's easily fought off, the only reason I was able to throw Jūzō was because I caught him off guard.

Although when used on things incapable of using or without chakra, like say… the cat of the Fire Daimyo's Wife, Tora, it's quite convenient.

"C'mon, it's just a cat~" Shisui teased. I was currently using my telekinesis to hold the cat in the air about 6 feet away from me and my face.

"I'm not a cat person," I responded dryly, "especially not with this cat." Because I know this cat. This cat has been escaping since Kakashi was an academy student and will keep escaping for at least another 16 years. I swear, capturing this cat will become a C-rank mission one day.

"Oh come on, it's not that bad," Shisui said as he moved closer to Tora, "Isn't that right kitty?" He moved in to pet Tora, and was promptly scratched across the face. Seriously, how did this damn cat manage to scratch Shisui? He's famous for being so fast you can't catch him. I sighed

"This is why I avoid D-ranks, that and the chores," I directed my dry gaze at Shisui, "and the idiot teammates."

"Ugh, your words wound me," he said in mock hurt.

"I'm pretty sure it was the cat that wounded you."

Over the past week there have been a few things of note. For one, me and Shisui get along surprisingly well, and I think I understand why. Even though Shisui is a pretty social guy, it's hard for him to have actual friends, being the top prodigy of the Uchiha Clan makes him hard to approach for most people. There are people like Itachi, but not many people his age, and then suddenly I show up, same age, complete indifference towards his clan and prodigy status, and to top it all off we're of similar strength levels, most of the spars we've had have ended in draws. Although that's mostly since we can't fight seriously in spars, if we were to go all out I have little doubt he would destroy me.

As we made our way to the mission desk we passed by a group of shinobi from Suna. That was the other thing of note. Shinobi from the other nations have begun showing up for the Exams.

There are groups of genin from all the major ninja villages and many from the smaller ones. There are multiple reasons for why so many showed up but it mostly comes down to two big ones, if any of the Five Great Shinobi Villages didn't show up it would come across as opposition to peace, and tensions are still high from the Third Great Ninja War, it would be like putting a target on their back.

The second reason is, frankly, to show off. Since there are representatives from every village it provides a great opportunity for each village to show off their younger generation. It's also the secondary reason for why I was sent in, to add another 'genius' for our village to show off.

The council isn't stupid enough to believe the other villages won't in their own overrankers. As a part of my mission I'm supposed to find the examinees who are most likely hiding their actual rank.

The easiest to spot was Kumo's most likely false examinee. He was the same age as me and rather inconspicuous all things considered, but I knew him from the anime. Darui, currently the only living user of Black Lightning. Add a kekkei genkai, and kenjutsu that rivals one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist on top of that, and he's definitely someone to watch out for.

The other false examinees were a bit harder to spot but it didn't take long to find out the most likely ones. They were a few years older than the rookie genin, but still well within the age to take the exams. I didn't recognize them from the anime but I could easily see that they weren't genin. The way they held themselves and the appearance of their chakra gave it away. They were good at hiding it though, if it weren't for the Tenseigan I wouldn't have noticed.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when we finally reached the mission desk. Lord Third would usually be there but because of the exams he's been too busy to, leaving only a single chunin on desk duty.

We handed Tora off to the Fire Daimyo's wife and watched as she took the demon cat in a suffocating hug. How does that cat live so long with an owner like that?

"That's all for today," Shikaku lazily said. He had been accompanying us on the missions but he mostly just sat off to the side watching the clouds, "The Chunin Exams are tomorrow so make sure you guys get lots of rest, you have to be at the academy early," and with that Shikaku disappeared in a shunshin.

"I know!," Shisui clapped, and I swear I could see a lightbulb turning on above his head, "We should have dinner at my place!"

"That's a great idea!" Suzu chirped. That's another thing I noticed, Suzu has a crush on Shisui and he's oblivious to it, or he just doesn't care, I have my bets on the former.

"Um," I quickly chimed in, "I'm pretty sure the Uchiha don't like the Hyuga."

"Yeah and?" Shisui asked, Suzu just gave me a confused look. I blinked, did they not realize?

"I'm a Hyuga," I stated. Shisui blinked.

"You're a Hyuga?!"

"Technically."

"Technically?" he repeated curiously.

"Technically." Because that's all I'm gonna say about that. He gave me a curious look for a second and then shook his head.

"Anyways, I'm sure it'll be fine," he said optimistically.
