I finished my own Original Story, it is entirely free and on Wattpad. Check it out, Destiny Rebellions- A Queen's Champion... if you love A Mortal's Might you'll love it. It was inspired heavily by that story and this one. Please check it out and tell me if you love it. I will be publishing it one day, so check it out before I pull it off of Wattpad.
This is my first time making it to Shippuden!
Short but a fun chapter!
"Wow... this place hasn't changed much at all..." Shin muttered, walking past the front gate.
"Sir!" He turned and saw Kotetsu and Izumo looking at him. "You need to sign and identify yourself."
He smiled at them, though they could not see it through his mask. "That is fine, good men. My name is Shin Uzumaki. Lady Tsunade knows I am coming..."
"Shin... Uz... the Pale healer?" Izumo said, eyes wide. "The infamous healer with an S Rank bounty, the one Shizune kept on checking up on?
He nodded. "That would be me. I have proof, a scroll provided by Shizune filled with a trace of Tsunade's chakra." he handed them the very scroll, and they sensed Tsunade's potent chakra within it.
Kotetsu bowed to him. "It is an honor. Go straight to the Hokage's office, she is waiting for you.:
"Thank you."
And so, gently, he strode into the village, He made it maybe half way to the Hokage's tower before he ran into his brother... just in time to see Sakura moving to sock Naruto in the face. It pissed him off so much that, with a fraction of his speed, he blurred right in front of Naruto and blocked the punch. It hurt, Sakura was very strong, but he had been hit harder by Tsubaki's tail. "Why are you hitting my kin?"
Sakura recoiled as he squeezed, trying to get her arm free. "Stop, please, that hurts!"
"LET SAKURA GO!" Naruto went to hit him, but a simple burst of chakra stopped that. Everyone, even Jiraiya gasped. "Naruto, I love you my dear brother, but if you hit me I will break your face." Turning, he sent out a snap kick that sent Sakura flying several hundred feet until she stopped, landing on her side, gasping for breath. "Touch Naruto again, and you will find your spine shoved down your throat." Turning to Jiraiya, who moved to act, he held out the same scroll he had shown the gate guards. "I have permission to enter this village, and I am going to see if this village is worth my full allegiance."
"What do you mean IF it's worthy?" Naruto growled out. "This is the greatest village ever, of course, it's worth it!"
"Naruto, they hated you for something you never chose, they neglected you, mistreated you... Iruka was barely a teacher, Kakashi was less of one. Jiraiya threw you down a canyon. Why exactly is this village worth anything?"
Naruto was gaping. " How do you know all of that?"
Smiling behind his mask, Shin shrugged. "That is for me to know and you to find out later today if all goes well. Lady Tsunade and I have an accord. First I am to see you and your skills, Naruto. I too am an Uzumaki, trained in the old ways of our clan."
"Clan, wait your family?"
"Yes, as is Tsunade but enough of that, to Tsunade we go." Turning he smiled at Konohomaru, Moegi and Udon who were shivering in terror at his chakra burst. "I can't belive I am saying this, but I missed you Konohomaru."
"I've never met you, Mister!"
"Yeah, you have in a way... but don't worry, it doesn't matter. We will bond later."
Jiraiya gaped. "Wait, you wouldn't happen to be the S rank , Pale Healer would you?"
"S rank, but he's like our age!" Naruto said alongside Sakura.
Shin laughed. "We share a birthday, Naruto, we are practically twins! Now, off to Tsunade, it is time we see what you can do." And with that he started back towards the tower, walking past a cringing Sakura.

"It is an honor to meet you officially, Lady Tsunade. Shizune, it is a joy as usual." He nodded to them both, sizing them up. Tsunade's chakra was like a force of nature, as was Jiraiya's and Naruto's. Reaching out, he realized Naruto's chakra was actually equally as high as his own but far less potent oddly. Kakashi, who he sensed from the outside, paled in comparison to any of their chakra bar Sakura and Shizune.
Tsunade nodded to him. "It is an honor to meet such a capable healer and powerful ninja. Your reputation is quite a fierce one, Orochimaru is still quite determined to kill you."
"Let him try, cocky though that sounds I put my money on myself in that match."
Tsunade nodded. "It is possible, you are very powerful... now, Naruto, I hope your training has produced results?"
"Mission accomplished, Granny!"
"Call her Lady Tsunade, Naruto... it is basic procedure, Call her granny in private but her title in public. If you want to be Hokage it is really that simple..."
Naruto frowned but Tsunade continued. "Naruto, you will need to prove your strength.
"What, right here?"
Sighing, Shin walked over to the door and opened it, just as Temari and Shikamaru were about to knock on the door. He had sensed their presence and wanted to show off to Naruto. "Hello you two, it has been a while Shikamaru. Naruo, these two are the ambassadors for the Leaf Sand alliance. Oh that aren't your opponents, Kakashi is, he is outside of the window. I sensed him earlier. Now, if it is alright, I need to set up a place to stay. I will be there for Naruto's evaluation you mentioned in your letter, Lady Tsunade. I will see you all later." In a blur, without any smoke or leaves, Shin vanished, moving to a distant location to find a place to stay the night.

Naruto frowned. "What is his deal? He hit Sakura and he is so weird."
Shizune sighed. "Did Sakura try and do something dumb like hit you?" Naruto nodded. "Then she deserved it, I have been talking to Shin for a few years, he hates abusers and mean people. Sakura you need to lay your hands off of Naruto, Shin is strong enough to beat Tsunade I think... today, after you and Naruto are tested, he will fight against Guy, Kurenai, Kakashi and Asuma, all A rank Ninja, all at the same time so we can evaluate him. You do not want to mess with him... ever."
"How is he so strong?"
"He trained really hard, Naruto... harder than you have by far..."
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was a fun chapter,
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
