Chapter 5 - Results Of Training and New skills
HOKAGE'S OFFICE.
"Mission completed Sir." The hooded man was already done with his security detail.
"Well done, Uchiha-san. Congratulations on your first mission completion." He nodded.
"Mission report?" a file was placed on the table along with twenty others at the same time. The aged leader's eyes narrowed…
"So it was you who took those D-ranks" A nod acknowledged the claim. An eyebrow raised at this.
"I needed the missions for my record" he shrugged non-committedly.
"You get some of those pesky D-ranks off and I get mission credentials. I don't see what's wrong"
What the boy said was perfectly true. The D-ranks were cluttering up and he did not have enough Genin teams to deploy for each of them and he wanted missions on his file. Also, every job he had done had gotten rave reviews.
"Very well, I'll wire over the payment for all of it"
3 YEARS LATER
THE FORESTS OF KONOHA
Since he had started going on missions he had deployed Naruto and Hinata on simple D ranks so that they could earn some cash as well as get some experience under their belt. The henge was a very useful technique in times like these and sustaining it was a good exercise in chakra control for both of them. He did make sure to send a shadow clone regardless, to keep them safe. He also encouraged them to walk through the village and observe ninja and civilians.
Naruto had met a determined young Genin hopeful named Rock Lee. The boy was determined to be a shinobi even after he had been written off by most of his peers, the boys struck up a friendly relationship and they occasionally sparred together. He had also met a certain copy cat ninja who while appeared laid back and always reading, never objected to the blonde's company. Occasionally they could be seen just sitting together reading their own books.
Hinata had spent more time around medical ninjas in the hospital. She often brought flowers to the ailing patients and spoke to them kindly, the nurses seemed to appreciate the calming influence the girl had on even the most unruly ones. Even though nurses and most medical staff were nowhere as talented as someone like Tsunade, there was much that could be learnt from everyone if you listened closely. A frequent visitor to the hospital was a snake user named Anko, who complained of pain in a strange seal on her neck. Hinata had offered her medical cream which seemed to help a little. Speaking to her, Hinata learnt much about poisons and antidotes.
"Do it again"
Both of them were exhausted, but they went through the forms once more. It was important that the base be strong. Sparring without a target was useless if you did not grasp how to keep your balance first.
"Okay let's move on to shuriken jutsu and kenjutsu"
"YEAH finally!" Naruto said getting out his Bokken, while Hinata readied her short swords. It wasn't exactly safe to practice with live weapons, so both of these were made with wood. They did have the real thing but it would take more time for them to be comfortable sparring with it.
They had grown stronger for sure.
Naruto seemed to be a prodigy when it came to Ninjutsu. With Kurama guiding and teaching him every step of the way it was no wonder he was getting stronger at an unbelievable rate. Sasuke had made sure to teach him a simple medical jutsu for a quick fix, something his grandmother thought was vital to increasing success on missions.
His Taijutsu was proficient, more intuitive than sticking to a regimented style but he usually stuck to Classic Uzumaki forms. His weakest point was his Genjutsu but for now, he could identify them and release himself from them. He also was fascinated by Kenjutsu. Maybe it was his Uzumaki genes but he really did pick up sword skills intuitively.
Before, Naruto had been stunted and had shyly admitted that he could barely read and write. Sasuke had taken great pains to ensure that the boy was now functionally literate and could read to his heart's content. Naruto had found great joy in literature, he enjoyed how books were always fair, giving everyone the same information.
Hinata seemed to soak up Taijutsu as well as weapon handling. Apart from Jyuukken training with her clan whose principles while simple, he was not privy to, Sasuke had started teaching her other styles of Taijutsu. She wasn't as inventive as Naruto but her strong fundamentals made her a difficult opponent nonetheless.
Apart from this she could break out of Genjutsu easily and had little trouble casting it. Her Ninjutsu was average, though she was very keen on medical jutsu. She was constantly trying out new things and improving her medicinal cream and concoctions.
Like Naruto, Hinata loved to read and had made a game of using her Byakugan to sift through different thicknesses of books so that she could read at any time she wanted.
"Charmeleon" a shout snapped him out of his thoughts and he turned to see what the commotion was about with his pokemon. Charmeleon was glowing and growing bigger as well as sprouting wings.
"Rawwwr" a new fully evolved Charizard stood in Charmeleon's place. Variearies had finally evolved. I turned to see Forrest, who was a Venasaur now, Poseidon, who was a Blastoise and Raijin, the Pikachu, congratulate Variearies.
"Congratulations, Variearies" the ravenette pulled out his father's Pokedex.
New Moves Learnt - Blast Burn, Fire Fang, Fire Punch, Wing Attack and Sky Attack.
Side note - Egg moves: Thunder Punch and Focus Punch unlocked.
Congratulations.
"Nice" he whispered, "Very Nice".
"Okay guys, return for today" he returned them with a glance toward the sky estimating it was almost 5 PM.
He turned his attention back to Naruto and Hinata. Hinata was clearly more drained than Naruto as Naruto had almost inexhaustible stamina, being a Jinchuuriki. So all things considered Hinata was doing very well keeping up. Hinata focused a little wind into her palm and threw it forward but Naruto was unprepared, scoring a 'critical' hit.
"Ouch" Naruto coughed out rubbing his eyes.
"I knew you could do it, dattebayo!"
"Thanks, Naruto-kun," Hinata said with a pleasant smile.
Naruto looked down and blushed while murmuring an "any time" back beneath his breath. Sasuke laughed at the change in volume.
"Okay guys, that's it for training today, meet me for training next week. Same time, Same place," he said with an eye smile.
"Awww, you going already Sasuke?"
"Yeah I have to leave for today Naruto" he replied with a slight chuckle jumping on a nearby branch.
The crunch of gravel underneath his boots was a welcome sound as he made his way to his old home. He had rebuilt it over the years and it was good as new. As he walked he pondered over his uncle's whereabouts.
Tsunade had rushed over when she had heard the news. She had spent two months keeping an eye on him and being there for him. Eventually, he had convinced her to go back to her own life and she had done so reluctantly. They still sent each other letters to keep in touch.
Finally, his old house was in sight, and he welcomed the view. He clutched the doorknob and with the familiar key turned it open.
Pale yellow walls hung with picture frames. Tears misted his eyes as memories came back to him. He did not know how but his feet just automatically carried him to the room where he used to spend the most time with his mother.
His eyes went over the instruments before settling on the Grand Piano that was placed in the centre of the room. A sad melody soon filled the room.
His hands just glid along the surface of the keys as his eyes closed and painful memories flickered across his eyelids and tears streamed down from his face, flashes of scenes greeted him as he remembered the strong earthy scent of his father and the delicate cherry scent of his mother. He lost track of time, all that mattered was the melody as his finger glid over the keys.
His hands stopped as he sensed another presence. He checked once more and there was definitely someone here. His hands firmly gripped into fists he pulled his mask up and went outside to see who was there.
A long, chestnut-haired woman, was holding a sword in her hand, from what he could tell, the type of sword was referred to as a Rapier. She seemed to be working on speed as her strikes were built around them more than sheer power. He looked around and felt nothing out of the ordinary. It was probably just an honest mistake. As he watched, his Sharingan activated and instantly copied it without his own command so he just sat there and watched as she flew through this graceful dance like she had done it before countless times. Once her dance was completed, she abruptly turned.
"Who's there!?"
The only thing her mind registered was black and silver.
Kirito
Without pausing to think, she instantly rushed in wanting to catch him off guard. Even though they were close friends they still enjoyed duelling it out like this. Her Rapier already handed, she started out her normal barrage attack, before she knew it Kirito was parrying smoothly. They clashed back and forth until finally, they jumped back into the clearing she was just in, that's when she saw his face in the sunlight.
It was Kirito's face but this was not him, his eyes were different, but this boy was 10 at best.
"Who are you?"
He blinked. And he blinked again. Wait a minute, first, she's attacking him, they spar, they get to the clearing and she says "Who are you?" What the hell!
"I could ask you the same question. You are on my family's island after all," he replied his face as stoic as ever, his sword still gripped in his hand.
The reaction was quite amusing, her face seemed to turn red and she was trying to sheath her rapier as well as bow in the same motion.
"I-I'm so sorry, it's just your stance was so similar to Kirito's and..." the boy cut her off.
"Kirito?" he asked suddenly interested, his guard down. The woman just blinked in confusion.
"Yes, Kirito. The funny thing is you look just like him" she laughed.
But before he could ask another question, he was struck with something in his neck. The child pulled it out and it revealed itself to be a dart coated with a solution, his eyes widened.
"Sleeping poison" was the last thing he said before his sword clattered on the floor, and the world went dark.
"Huh?" She ran forward to catch the mysterious boy before he fell to the ground.
"You should be grateful to me Asuna" A familiar voice greeted her and she turned to see Kirito himself. Walking up to him briskly she smacked him over the head.
"Owww, what was that for?" he whined.
"Idiot, I was the one who attacked him because he was dressed like you and standing in the shadows and now you knocked him out?!"
He just blinked innocently.
"Oh," He scratched his head a little sheepishly. "Guess I should think a bit more before I act?" he offered.
"Geez, Oh my god, Oh my god, what am I going to do?! If his family finds out I attacked him They'll..."
"That will not happen" a voice interrupted the bickering not-a-couple.
"Huh!?" both Asuna and Kirito looked to see that the boy in Asuna's arms was stirring and in a second was shaking his head as if to gain consciousness.
"What! that's not possible, That sleeping poison was made to last for at least a couple of hours, not for a few minutes..." Kirito shut his mouth seeing the death glare Asuna was giving him.
"What will not happen?" Asuna questioned her head turning to the side, the boy in her arms simply shrugged.
"My family will not do anything to you, just because you attacked me" the boy stated his face still eerily calm.
"Why not?"
"They're dead," he said drily.
He pulled himself out of Asuna's grasp, picked up his sword and ran away. Kirito's eyes narrowed before a flash of recognition pooled in those dark orbs.
He remembered that shade of red.
Red eyes…
Izumi...
Itachi...
Shit
"Thanks for that Ryuu"
"Any time child"
"Damn it, Damn it, How could I have let my guard down? Why did I tell them? What is wrong with me today?"
he dashed through the forests with speeds that could easily rival an Arcanine.
"I need to train some more and cool off" he decided and dived in deeper into the forests where he grew up.
As the black swordsman was running through the forest with Asuna he couldn't help but think about this mysterious boy, who he suspected was his nephew.
"The only way somebody can wake up from the effects of the sleeping poison so easily was if they concentrated Chakra into that particular spot to neutralize the poison or if they possess special healing abilities".
He was snapped out of his thoughts by Asuna's cry of frustration.
"Why is this one kid so hard to find?!"
He sighed and quietly nodded in agreement. He hadn't used it for many years but it seemed that this kid's stealth was so high I would need it this time. He closed his eyes and concentrated.
"Sharingan"
"Asuna" he called out releasing his Dojutsu. "He's this way" and he grabbed her hand and ran through the forests of the island.
The duo eventually reached the clearing that Kirito had directed them to and the kid was there, well you could say he was there if you could see him. Kirito looked around, he had not missed a single target. Kirito quickly took aim once more the same sleeping solution in his dart again and he fired once more, but it seems this time he was ready for it as it was split in half by his long sword. As he stood on guard, he more than resembled his father.
"Hello Uncle, How have you been?"
Ichigo [Kirito] looked at the boy in front of him with wide eyes. Suddenly he disappeared in a burst of speed. Ichigo looked alarmed, and in a flash, the boy appeared right in front of him. He raised his hands ready to block the hit. The sheer force however ripped right through him.
"KIRITO-KUN!"
He crashed through the trees. Before he could open his eyes he felt another sharp kick aimed from behind cracking at least one rib. That didn't end it…
In a barrage that forced him to activate his Sharingan, he almost ended up a heap on the floor. But the moment he regained his balance with one foot he was ready to counter. Ichigo might have been rusty with ninjutsu but his Taijutsu had been his bread and butter for several years. The experienced man was able to exploit his size advantage over the younger boy.
Only when they reached a standstill did the boy's face become sufficiently visible did Kirito notice his fully developed Pinwheel patterned Sharingan. Kirito's eyes widened…
Mangekyou Sharingan at this age?!
The boy dashed forward again and the seasoned shinobi raised his arms to defend but the attack didn't come. Kirito looked down to see the boy hugging him, trails of wetness staining the fabric of his cotton mask.
"I finally found you, Uncle". There were tears streaming down his face as it hit the ground rapidly.
"I tried so hard and searched the entire region of Kanto and I still couldn't track you and now the day I go to see them, you appear." he started banging on his chest.
"Where were you?! Did I mean nothing to you?!"
Kirito just wrapped his arms around the sobbing boy. How could he have been so blind, why didn't he check if his nephew was still alive? He should have been there for his nephew. He should have protected him and comforted him all those days but yet he wasn't. He had failed his older brother. Again.
"I'm so sorry..." Ichigo startled, he didn't even know his own nephew's name.
It's Arion," the boy said sniffling.
"I'm truly sorry Arion, I should have been there for you, but I wasn't, could you ever forgive me?"
The boy had calmed down now and was completely still.
"I know it wasn't your fault uncle, but I still can't help but feel cheated" Ichigo's heart broke at the young one's cracking voice.
"I know now Arion, I really do, but I'll make it up to you, I promise I will" Ichigo promised as well as hugged Arion, his nephew, tightly.
In all this Asuna was standing awkwardly, feeling like a third wheel of sorts. When he had calmed down, Arion observed as Asuna knelt and comforted his uncle, she was chiding but in a gentle way that reminded him much of his mother and father.
"Y'know, From where I'm standing you guys seem pretty tight. Uncle, is she my Aunt?"
If Kirito or Asuna were drinking something, they would have spat it out in sharp succession.
"WHAT?! NO, he's not my boyfriend!"
"Huh?! No, she's not my girlfriend!"
They were both hyperventilating from denying it so furiously. The youngest of the three just shrugged,
"You know this just further proves my point right?" Arion said amused. The adults were progressively turning redder.
"No, Really we are not a couple" Asuna and Kirito exclaimed, looked at each other blushed and looked away.
"Your behaviour patterns suggest something else, but if you say so" he just shrugged out. "Now I need to be somewhere so thank you" and with a quick bow, he disappeared into the forest.
Asuna and Kirito just watched him go.
"So, Asuna-chan" Kirito started gaining Asuna's attention.
"Yes, What is it Kirito-kun?" Asuna asked with a slight tilt of her head looking undeniably cute.
Kirito just blushed at her adorable expression.
"Um, I was wondering if..." Kirito stammered.
"What's the wrong Kirito?"Asuna frowned concerned, Kirito was always so smooth with words. It was uncharacteristic of him to be fumbling over his words.
"I just wanted to know, do you want to you know, Hang out?" he asked rather nervously.
"Why in the world would he be nervous about this unless," Asuna thought and with a sudden intake of breath due to the conclusion
Kirito-kun, are you asking me out?" Asuna asked rather teasingly.
"Hai" was his reply.
His honest reply stumped her for a moment, but she quickly gained her composure and answered back flirtatiously.
"Well then, I accept your offer Mr Black Swordsman" she winked and lightly patted his arm.
Kirito had his own smirk on too "I'll pick you up at 7.00 pm today, Viridian city, Miss Lightning Flash".
"It's a date then" Asuna declared and with little to no hesitation kissed him on the cheek, released her Pidgeot and flew away.
Kirito grinned goofily holding the cheek Asuna just kissed.
AUGUST 16th X100
Blurs were racing around as the nearby foliage was ripped out of the ground and being cut off left and right.
"Why in the world is Sasuke attacking us?!"
Naruto and Hinata knew that without Hinata's eyes and Naruto's clones, it would be really hard for them to dodge let alone have time to think. Blades started deflecting off each other as Shurikenjutsu was calmly thrown into the mix.
1 word, Sharingan.
Naruto and Hinata let loose volleys of Shuriken and Kunai as well, they were however simply blown away or redirected effortlessly. Things got even more dangerous when the Uchiha started adding ninjutsu to the mix.
Hinata went through the options in her head. Running away wouldn't do them any good, they would be easily found. They had no binding jutsu that could help apart from Jyuuken, but she couldn't get close enough for that to be a possibility. As she scrolled through all the lessons the prodigy had given them, something came to her in a flash.
"Look underneath the underneath"
The more she thought about it, the more it made sense. She couldn't see any irregularities in his chakra, this was clearly not a Genjutsu.
"...this is a test, that's it!"
"Naruto-kun!" She said out loud as the boy nodded and made a beeline for the cover of the trees.
"Do they finally have some idea why I'm doing this?" secretly the prodigy smiled.
"Good," he thought as he pulled out a new book.
"Not long now"
They might not have a binding justu, but maybe a decisive large jutsu where they could direct the chakra flow? Naruto and Hinata went over the pros and cons.
"...this would be our best shot" Naruto admitted while Hinata nodded.
"I'll activate my Byakugan so we can match chakra levels, that way we can take advantage of the synergy"
Naruto looked delighted at the prospect. Both ran through the hand seals quickly.
"Raiton - Rairyūdan no Jutsu [Lightning release - Thunder Dragon Bullet Technique]"
"Suiton - Suiryūdan no Jutsu [Water release - Water Dragon Bullet Technique]"
Two enormous dragons burst out into the clearing as they swirled together to form an even huger dragon.
"Ranton - Raisyuridan [Storm release - Lightning Water Dragon]"
"This is even better than I thought it would be"
Breathing in deeply, he brought his feet into a wider stance. Quickly molding chakra, he ran through more hand signs.
"Katon - Adraimelec no Shīrudo [Fire Release - Adramelec's Shield]" a huge Fire Majiin erupted from his back, this demon king was wielding a sword and a shield. The chakra that was forming the demon king was so hot it was literally burning blue flames out of its neck and wrists. The Majin extended his shield and easily bounced off the incoming Ranton jutsu.
"Hmm, that caused quite the light show. Wonder how many people saw that?" The Uchiha clan head thought scratching his head. He turned to his students and with a smile proclaimed...
"You pass"
Both children whooped in joy, even though they were kinda bummed that their jutsu had been neutralized so easily.
"I was really impressed with that just now, did you guys think it up on your own?" which led Naruto to launch into a ramble about how he wanted a cool jutsu and Hinata nodding along.
The children spent the rest of their time resting and playing with each other.
"Sasuke nii-san?" red eyes met the younger girl's.
"Yes, Hinata?"
"Will...will you drop us off at the academy tomorrow? It's a new academic year" Sasuke was surprised. Naruto also seemed eager.
"Sure, why not?" Sasuke smiled.
"Someone's coming" Naruto announced. Hinata activated her Byakugan to see Ko approach. Sasuke looked thoughtful.
"Do you want to practice some forms Hinata? Look like you were training alone?" the soft girl nodded getting into position.
She started the methodical forms that Jyuuken followed. One...Two...Three...One...Two...Three. She opened her eyes Byakugan blazing.
"Hakke Rokujuuyonshou [Eight Divination Signs, Sixty-Four Palms of the Hand]"
"Two Palms "
"Four Palms "
"Eight Palms"
"Sixteen Palms "
"Thirty-two Palms"
"Hakke Rokujuuyonshou [Eight Divination Signs, Sixty-Four Palms of the Hand] "
Ko was having a hard time processing the information his eyes were giving him. Not only was Hinata considered one of the softest Hyuuga, but she was also not noted at any time to have any proficiency with Jyuuken [Gentle Fist style] unlike her sister Hanabi. She had naturally been excluded from intensive training in Jyuuken but did still have mandatory training sessions once a month. But there she was, with a firm stance and sure strikes.
"Hinata-sama?!" Ko called out and Hinata pretended to be startled and then looked down and blushed as if Ko caught her doing something she shouldn't be doing.
"Hinata-sama, Hiashi-sama is expecting you back for a spar today, we have to back now," Ko stated calmly, leading the Hyuuga heiress back to the Hyuuga compound. As they were going Sasuke sent a wind message to the heiress with an order...
"Show them a few tricks." Hinata smiled.
Hinata found herself in the dojo waiting for her father to arrive or one of her Jyuuken instructors. What she didn't expect is Ko, her father and the entire council of elders making an entrance. Hinata groaned secretly, now she would have even lesser time to spend with her little sister of 3 years, Hanabi. She stepped forward and bowed low.
"Father, honourable elders, I am ready for the spar today," she said softly as her opponent of the day walked out.
Hyuuga Kento was a member of the branch family of the Hyuuga clan, he was 11 years old and was considered slightly above average in Jyuuken for one of his age. He was cocky but overall more than a competent fighter.
"Both fighters come forward" the referee signalled and they did so.
"Begin" the command as Kento shot forward eager to finish this battle quickly not even bothering to activate his Byakugan. He had heard that the heiress was hopelessly weak. Hinata had her eyes closed and was in a perfectly composed stance, this gained Hiashi's attention. Hinata would usually be fidgeting in her coat, but now she was composed and as calm as a professional. For a second, Hiashi saw his wife in Hinata.
When Kento was close, he went for a huge obvious right swing. Dodging was a simple matter to Hinata, so was dodging everything that came after. She knew the exact combinations this Kata would take her opponent through.
"14...15...16 and pause" right on the money, the final stroke ended with Hinata twisting her upper body to avoid. Using the momentum she quickly moved her feet to begin the start of a rotation. Hinata opened her eyes to display her Byakugan blazing.
"Hakkeshou Kaiten [Eight Divination Palms of the Hand, Heavenly Spin]" and with that, her opponent literally bounced off the dome made of chakra.
Kento hit the ground and was knocked out cold. It was all over in one strike...
This got the desired reaction,
Ko's jaw seemed to be on the floor...
Hiashi's eyebrow was now very prominently twitching...
Hyuuga Shin, one of the elders of the Hyuuga council rubbed his eyes in astonishment.
The dome had been cancelled by the user but the dust was yet to settle. The experienced Byakugan users saw the silhouette of the Hyuuga heiress still spinning softly and then coming to a stop as the dust cleared her Byakugan still active, though her eyes were closed. She stood back in the same position as before and opened her eyes deactivating her Byakugan simultaneously.
"Will that be all for me for today?"
The elders goggled dumbly but Hiashi nodded for the next opponent to enter. They were all no match for her. Not once did she falter or her form been destroyed. After all her opponents had fallen Hiashi allowed Hinata to leave. Later in his study, he thought about it.
Hiashi was a proud man, being a wielder of the Byakugan and the Hyuuga clan head, he naturally took great pride in the powers that resided in his eyes. The Byakugan allowed its user to have near 360-degree vision and the Hyuuga fighting style revolved around this fact. The Byakugan, of course, was nothing like the Sharingan, but a highly trained Byakugan master could read the movement and tensing of the muscles of a person and predict their next move with great accuracy. It could be used to analyze people. Hiashi had never been wrong about anyone, but clearly, there was one exception to this.
His eldest daughter, Hinata.
Ever since Hinata was three, Hiashi could tell she was a soft child. Who had ever heard of a meek Hyuuga with a stutter? And he was proven right for the 2 years that he had trained with her, she had shown no aptitude for Jyuuken whatsoever. So he had stopped training her personally. Even still, not once had there been any positive comment on her progress and Hiashi had lost his faith in Hinata. He just hoped that Hanabi would be stronger than Hinata.
But today, the person who he had seen, who had defeated Hyuuga Kento in one move and destroyed her opponents efficiently. That was not the Hinata he knew.
The Hinata he knew was timid and meek. She stuttered whenever she spoke and did not walk tall with pride. But the Hinata that he saw fighting today. Confident, strong, calculated and graceful strikes...
These were the strikes of a master of Jyuuken. Suddenly Hiashi wasn't sure if he knew his daughter at all. Hiashi oversaw the running of the entire Hyuuga clan, which was an arduous task in itself. Hyuuga Isamu was Hinata's Jyuuken teacher and he had never reported any improvement in Hinata's Jyuuken. On questioning him on this astonishing development, Isamu flat out did not believe his clan head.
Hiashi's mind was now overflowing with questions...
When did this change start? What exactly had Hinata been doing to improve so much, so quickly? How had he never noticed this change?
With so many questions and not enough answers, Hiashi decided to observe his daughter more keenly now. Hinata was starting a new term at school tomorrow and he was looking forward to seeing the results.
Sasuke was in front of Naruto's house the next morning with his usual Jounin henge. The blonde child bounced energetically waiting for his friend.
"So you ready?" he asked the playful brother of his heart.
Naruto jumped up all excited and anxious to get there quickly. They made their way to the Academy talking about all types of things. When they reached there, they found Hinata waiting for them. She joined the boys as they made their way to the open-air auditorium.
"Welcome back children" the voice of the Sandaime Hokage echoed through the field as all the students were seated. "I hope you are well on your way into taking your first steps into being identified as a ninja at The Ninja Academy. Over the next 4 years, you will be trained and groomed more intensively to be the best possible ninja you can be" He warmly continued. "So do your best. Now before you disperse..."
Uh oh, he didn't like the sound of that. He was feeling all the clan heads smirking and their eyes on him.
"We have a special treat for you, we are going to introduce you to some of the clan heads of Konoha"
"Damn, I'm going to have to be careful."
"This is the Yamanaka clan head - Yamanaka Inoichi " The T&I expert appeared in a swirl of leaves.
"This is the Akimichi clan head - Akimichi Chouza"
"This is the Nara clan head - Nara Shikaku"
"This is the Inuzuka clan head - Inuzuka Tsume"
"This is the Aburame clan head - Aburame Shibi"
"The Hyuuga clan head, unfortunately, couldn't make it"
"And finally the youngest clan head from Konohagakure no Sato - The Uchiha clan head..."
And when it was finally his turn, he held his breath. He knew for a while now that people wanted to see who the new Uchiha clan head was but never found out. He smirked a bit under his mask, if they were going to this to him, they were going to have a show alright, as he made a single half tiger seal...
"Uchiha Sasuke"
Signing Off,
The Aura Phoenix.
