"Kyuubi Speaking"

Speaking
/
Akira sat in the room he had rented, he had a ton of money saved up from years of working so the one he had gotten was pretty nice, not as nice as his mansion in Kumo, but still nice none the less.
At the moment he was writing a letter to the Raikage to inform him of the situation and ask for his forgiveness. He told him that he would be home soon and that he should keep Yugito under close watch as HE had begun to move again.
When he was done he handed the letter off to a clone and it disappeared in a small flash of light.
He sighed deeply, This place just isn't for me, I miss home... He thought with melancholy as he rested his head on one of his hands.
The Kyuubi laughed, "If we're stuck here, you might as well have some fun." The massive fox suggested.
Hiro smirked at the idea, I have been wanting to work on THAT, and being here would make it perfect... He replied cryptically.
He decided that was exactly what he was gonna do, and stood up from the table. Grabbing his cloak he jumped out of his window and landed lightly on the street below.

As he strolled down the main street of Konoha, he noticed that those around him looked at him with a mix of curiosity and fear. Smiling, he continued on his way towards the training grounds.
A little ways up the street a young man walked with two young women and the three were caught up in conversation.
"Jin there is no way you're stronger than Sasuke!" The young women with pink hair said angrily to her friend.
Jin looked upset for a moment before saying, "Sasuke is strong, no doubt about it, but I'm much faster than he is so his strength is useless if he can't even hit me!" He retorted.
Ino just sighed to herself and looked at the people passing by them. No one in particular caught her attention until she saw this man with jet black hair, red eyes and a white cloak.
She stopped for a moment to stare at him as he passed by, He reminds me... of Hiro... She thought to herself as the impressive man walked further and further from her.
Her friends had stopped walking when they had noticed she had stopped, "Ino what's wrong?" Sakura asked, concerned for her friend's weird actions.
Ino thought for a moment before responding, "That man that walked by just now, he reminded me a lot of Hiro." She explained.
Jin looked confused, "Hiro?" He asked, "But Hiro's in Kumo how could he be here?"
Ino shook her head exasperated, "No I didn't mean that he was here, just that that man reminded me of him for some reason."
Sakura stood up on her toes to get a better look and try and see if she could see the man Ino was talking about, "I don't see anyone that special." She said blandly.
Ino turned around to look again, "He's probably gone." She explained.
Jin sighed, "I wonder what Hiro's doing now?" He asked no one in particular.
Ino looked up at the sky and thought for a moment, "Whatever he's doing I bet it's amazing." She said almost dreamily.
Sakura smiled mischievously, "I figured you felt that way about him, even knowing who he is, he's still pretty amazing."
Ino nodded in agreement, and Jin just looked confused, "C'mon guys, we have jobs to do, we are Chuunin after all." Ino said, wanting the group to move on part the topic of Hiro.
They all agreed and continued on their way.

Back with Akira
/
He stood in the center of the training ground, not far from where he had trained Jin two years previous.
He sat down and began to concentrate, These visions, do they mean what I think they mean? He asked the Kyuubi.
The Kyuubi nodded, "You're blessed kid, that's an unrivaled power you've been given there, and I know first hand." He said smiling.
Akira grinned in response, Why me though? He could've given this power to anyone, what did I do to deserve it? He asked again, still bewildered.
The Kyuubi thought for a moment before responding, "You're meant for great, big, important things that's the only explanation I can think of." He explained before continuing, "You've always felt the same as him to me, so it makes sense that he would choose you as well."
Akira nodded and thanked him for explaining before returning to the task at hand.
During the past two years he had been receiving visions of first an elderly man with what appeared to be horns and a third eye in the middle of his forehead, and then of a man with tanned skin, dark eyes and jet black hair, wearing red battle armor. They spoke to him in bits and pieces, but it was hard to make out in some parts, but what he did learn was that he would awaken a great power. A power said to be unrivaled in shinobi.
As the visions continued and the days passed, Akira soon realized what the power was.
"Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees!" Akira said, and before him began to grow a large dense forest.
Akira had been visited by Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, in his dreams and had been informed that his Kekkei Genkai would be passed on to Akira for reasons unknown.
The other man who had visited Akira was still unknown to him however.
Akira opened his eyes and before him the forest grew even greater. This power was something very great, and Akira had longed to be able to try it out in battle.
In addition to his mastery of Kyuubi Mode, he had begun to work on Sage Techniques under the tutelage of Hashirama in his dreams.
While in Kyuubi Mode, his power over Wood Release was greatly multiplied, and then once he activated Sage Mode in conjunction, his power may have come close to that of Hashirama Senju's. But he was still working on it, but even at the level he was at, not many ninja could come close to rivaling his strength.
Akira wanted to be able to implement these techniques in battle, so he devoted all of his time to working on them.

Many hours had passed and the sun was beginning to set, so Akira decided to call it a day. He had made some progress, not a ton, but progress none the less.
He wasn't tired as with the years passing his chakra reserves had grown greatly.
So with his training over he decided to get some food with only one place in mind, Ichiraku Ramen.
After not much walking he arrived at the stall and parted the curtain to walk in. He chose a seat on the far left side of the bar and ordered two miso ramens from the old man behind the counter before sitting down.
While he was waiting, a group of four Konoha Shinobi walked in and sat down not too far from him. At first they didn't notice him, but when he thanked the man for his food they all turned to look at him.
Ino looked surprised for a second, "That's him! He's the one that I saw on the street!" She whispered to her friends.
Sasuke looked him over, "I see it too." He agreed.
Akira looked over at them from his food and had to hold back a smile. Two years really does change people huh? He thought to himself.
Sasuke saw his eyes and was shocked, "Are those... the sharingan?" He asked the man.
Akira shook his head no, "I'm not quite so lucky to be born with those eyes, these are merely red with no added bonus." He laughed to himself.
Sasuke looked disappointed, "Oh..." He said defeated.
Akira had finished his food by this point so he stood up to leave, "Have a nice night." He said to the group of Chuunin before leaving the stall.
Seeing him leave Ino shot up from her seat and ran to catch up to him, "Do you know Hiro Tatsumi?" She asked him desperately.
Akira turned around and smiled a little, "I ran into him about a year ago, we fought some, devilishly strong that one is." He said nostalgically.
Ino looked curious so he continued, "Don't worry he's alright, he's actually the one who gave me this." He said pointing to his cloak with demon written on it.
Ino stayed firm, "Do you know where he is?" She asked, by this point her friends had caught up to her and they all looked to the man.
He smiled again, "Last I heard he had left Kumo, but you can never really know where he's gonna turn up next." He said sort of cryptically, "He might even show up..." He continued before looking straight at Ino, "Here."
Ino blushed a little and took a step back as the man turned to leave, "Who are you?" Sasuke asked.
He kept walking but raised a hand and used his thumb to point at the word written on his cloak.
Sasuke sighed, "Why does everyone always have to be so mysterious." He lamented.
Sakura nodded in agreement, "He's definitely connected to Hiro in some way." Ino said before continuing, "His eyes, look a lot like Hiro's..."
Jin put a hand on her shoulder, "We'll find out who this guy is, and what connection he has to Hiro, don't worry."
Ino looked at him and smiled, thankful for her friends.

Akira strolled up to the door of his new apartment and put his hand on the doorknob but paused for a second. He smiled and then opened the door.
Moving to the center of the room, he sat down in a chair at his table. Seconds later the room was full of Anbu.
Akira smirked, "I figured you'd come eventually, but so soon? That's impressive." He said laughing a little to himself.
One of the Anbu moved closer to Akira but he simply just held up a hand, "Don't worry, I won't resist, I actually have some things to talk to Hiruzen about."
The Anbu looked a bit taken back by this, they had prepared a large force to bring this man into custody, and all he wanted to do was simply walk into their arms without a fight.
Akira stood up and followed the Anbu out.

Alright, well that one took like no time at all haha
Hope it is worth it, I have some things in mind and don't worry Hiro won't change who he actually is, he will keep his personality the same or whatever
And as always LEAVE A REVIEW, it actually makes me write faster I promise
Hope you enjoyed!
