I hope you liked my Story this far, share your opinion.
Now I need your Help: I want Pītā to invent one or two original Jutsus, but I got no good Idea. Also I wanted him to have an Rival. I already have an Idea who I could use but, I wanted to hear your Opinion. It has not to be one of his classmates orone of The Konoha 12. It could be already a Jonin, Adult like Kakashi, Asuma or maybe even Kurenai. Also maybe a good Mentor to.
I would be thankful for every advice you could offer.
Chapter 5: Parker Luck
"Did you understand everything I said?"
In a sunlit circular room, with one half of the walls made of windows and pictures hanging on the other. The ones that stand out the most are four pictures showing the different leaders of the village.
An old man, standing at a large desk with mountains of paperwork on it, looks questioningly at the young boy standing next to one of his most loyal kunoichi.
"Yes, yes everything understood. I will have my own apartment, I have to take care of myself AND my two companions. I have to meet with a therapist once a week and I will be guarded by an Anbu for the next few years until either a) I am neutralized as a threat or b) I have shown myself to be a trustworthy shinobi. So really that's not so hard to remember, hehe." chuckling yet slightly tense Pītā lists everything.
He is now washed and dressed in different clothes than when he arrived. ' My goodness, what are they all so professional about? It's like they have a stick up their ass...well that wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. Maybe I shouldn't mention it out loud either.'
The old Hokage just sighs and says "Did you also remember that you will be joining the academy starting tomorrow?". And that you're forbidden to tell anyone where you're originally from?"
It's like the kids are taking everything way too lightly these days. I still don't understand how a child who has been through such a trauma can be in such a good mood. I know grown men and women whose spirit would be broken by these experiences. And here's this kid, he seems to be doing well. He's only 6 years old. The same age as Naruto.'
"Yesss, I haven't forgotten, (mumble) have been discussing this whole thing here for 3 hours too!" already slightly annoyed the spider replies. The children of his clan have always had too much energy, partly because of the Kekkei Kenkai and partly because of the high chakra reserves. After all, the Shukeikō clan is said to be the only clan that can match the chakra reserves of a Senju or Uzumaki. The children of these clans never manage to sit still for long.
However, this does not seem to be the problem of the budding shinobi. Dude please hurry up a bit I have to go for little tiger'.
It seems that the young hunter has a problem with the bladder.
Hiruzen Sarutobi just looks at him amused. He sees very well that the boy is annoyed even if he tries to hide it. The professor is old enough to remember the children of the Senju clan, especially their hyperactivity. A certain Uzumaki in the village has the same problem, much to everyone's chagrin.
"Ha ha don't worry soon we'll be done," the god of shinobi tells the boy with a laugh. Just as he exhales in relief, the door opens.
"Hiruzen, we need to talk," the newcomer addresses the Hokage. It is an old man probably between 60 and 70, with the right half of his body bandaged down from his head.
His eye, sharp as a hawk's; roam the room and stop on the youngest in the room. He looks deep into his eyes.
Pītā looks into the eyes of the old man without fear. 'Every one of my senses tells me I must beware of this man. Besides... what is this?' Confused, the young warrior does not understand what he senses with his perception. 'Something is...odd in his Chakra, something powerful'.
"Danzo, whatever it is can wait, as you can see I'm busy right now, with our guest here." the Hokage directs the attention to himself. 'Danzō, what are you up to now?'
"No it can't wait Hiruzen, it's about the boy here. What do I hear about him being the last survivor of the most dangerous and deadliest clan in Kiri?" Danzō, representing the shadows of the shinobi world, questions his old rival.
"Watch your tone Danzō, don't forget who I am" warned the strongest of all five Kage replied. "In addition, I see no reason to inform you about the decisions of one of MY shinobi"
The old friends stare into each other's eyes. The tension in the room has increased so much that even Neko is starting to sweat. 'That's unbearable, what kind of strength do they both have?'
Meanwhile, Pītā is thinking about 5 different things at the same time, his brain is working at full speed. He has already heard of Danzō, the Yami no Shinobi, one of the few people said to be able to rival the Sandaime Hokage.
"Hiruzen, if the boy is not a double agent, you should hand him over to me and I can assure you that he will become a loyal shinobi of Konohagakure.", the old war hawk tries to convince his friend.
Hiruzen just sighs, tired of the eternal rivalry between them and annoyed by Danzō's callousness in turning a guiltless child into an emotionless weapon. "There's more than one good reason why I can't let THAT. This is one of them."
With that said, he handed Danzō a piece of paper. "Is that a...?" he asked when Hiruzen replies, "Yes, that's a DNA test, which confirms the boy's right to live in this village, even if only as a civilian."
A few minutes of tense silence as the old, scarred man suddenly looked at the boy. "My old friend, even more so to put him in my care. He has the potential to be one of Konoha's finest shinobi."
"For what? For sacrificing his childhood? His humanity? That's not the way we were trained by Hashirama-sensei and Tobirama-sensei. That would be spitting on their teachings, on their legacy." the old Hokage reacts fiercely to his old teammate.
The two men start arguing vigorously, arguments flying around like "You're too soft-hearted Hiruzen..." and "I won't leave his future to you to..." and so on.
'Tell me, does my opinion really matter? Do they think they can decide everything in my life?'
Just when it looks like it's about to get physical, Pītā starts to clear his throat and says "Can't we just find a compromise? Or do you want to keep fighting like two little kids about MY future? You're keeping a secret about my ancestors ok no bad, I mean, it doesn't bother me now either, they're dead, you talk about something, but have you ever thought about it, that I'm in the room too? Or are you so senile by now that you've forgotten that?"
The two men stop their discussion and look at the boy. Neko meanwhile has a very pale face under the mask 'Kid do you actually know who you are dealing with here, these are perhaps the strongest men on the continent.'
'Shit, shit oh you damn shit what was I thinking yelling at them? Tell Pītā what an idiot you are. Okay, ok, what was Uncle's first lesson? Never ever lie to my wife? No, that wasn't it, what was it? Umm... oh yeah: never show them you're scared.'
Despite the all-penetrating eyes that were directed at him, he didn't change his face. Maybe it helped that he wore a mask over more than half of his face.
"Haha look at that old friend, a child has to correct us to make us act like adults. We're getting old. But he's right. I agree we mustn't waste his potential. So I suggest you train him BUT under the surveillance of some of my Anbu." Hiruzen laughs that it took Pītā to yell at them to think of him.
Danzō looks at his old friend and the child for a long time, deep in thought. Then he says "At least you see things a bit clearer now Hiruzen. I agree with this compromise."
While the two men were still discussing the details of the deal, Pītā had something else going on in his head, ' Good news: I'm not dead. Bad news: I'm being ignored once again, typical. More bad news: I have to train several hours a week with the scar face.'
2 Hours later
" Yes, it's ok Takeru, I'm here. Don't worry, Chikumo, I haven't forgotten you. Oh, stop whining, it can't have been that bad. Hey Takeru, stop it, you.."
After he was finally allowed out of the room (and was finally able to empty his bladder), he was finally able to go to his brothers.
Who, from their point of view, had to endure a horrible procedure when in reality it was just a routine investigation.
"They probably treated you better than me, do you have any idea what they did to me?" trembling, he tells the two what they did to him. The two animals then immediately stopped whining.
"Ok so Takeru this is your corner" the Pāka said pointing to a corner full of skins and a bowl of water and one of meat, "and this is your chikumo" pointing to another with a nest of blankets and a pole hanging out of the wall.
"Let's go, this is our new home now." nodding to them encouragingly, he supports them.
They run timidly or fly towards their places. They examine everything before, exactly at the same time, lie down to sleep.
"Sleep well you two, you deserve this" After that was said, he set out to make the preparations and plans for the future.
'Tomorrow is my first day at the academy, I hope they don't have such a stupid final exam like in Kiri' were the last thoughts before he fell asleep at the desk, exhausted from the day.
The next Morning in the Academy
"So my dears, today we have a new classmate please be kind to him." A man with a chunin vest and brown hair in a ponytail and a long scar under his eyes said to a group of children.
"Sensei, why is he only coming to our class now?"
"What's that unfair, we're almost in the middle of the school year, why can he just skip the beginning?"
After Iruka said that, the class immediately became restless and some even started to complain. "SILENCE! So like I said we're getting a new classmate, the reason he's only coming to class now is confidential. And before you start complaining, don't forget later on as shinobi, sometimes you won't know all the facts either, and you have to still complete the mission."
After that the class was silent. "It's good that we understand each other. Pītā please come in" Iruka called when he saw that the class wasn't going to get loud again.
"How troublesome, a new classmate," said one child to another.
"Oh come on Shikamara it can't be that bad. Who knows maybe he's quite nice." answers a boy a bit fatter, with brown hair, to the statement of his friend.
Then the door is pushed open and a boy runs in. 3.11 ft (1.17 m) dressed in a black... red robe-like attire, his entire face, except under his eyes, covered by a deep black mask.
His build, bearing and gait showed authority.
He stopped in the middle of the room and turned to face the class when suddenly several people inhaled. His eyes were a deep red. It was kind of...beautiful.
'My kikaichū tell me he's dangerous. It's like he's a...predator' was the thought of one of the children wearing black sunglasses and a very high collar sweater.
'Akamaru is oddly a bit nervous about the guy's mere presence, but somehow it's also like he's taking it. But every instinct I have is not to piss him off... it's like he's a...alpha' thought a boy in a hoodie and a white puppy on his head.
"Hello my name is Pītā Pāka, I am pleased to make your acquaintance. I hope for good cooperation", said the newcomer as he started to bow.
"Hello Pītā, please have a seat here, don't worry, you can get to know each other later." while Pītā proceeded to the place indicated by Iruka, the teacher began to teach.
"Shh, hey how are you?" Pītā's next seater asks him as soon as the latter sat down.
The boy looks at him briefly and then answers in a whisper, "Fine, you, and what's your name? I don't think I need to say my name, hehe."
Giggling, the boy replies, worrying whether he'll get caught by the sensei or not, "I'm fine too. And who am I? I'm the Fifth Hokage, Dattebayo, Uzumaki Naruto!"
I know a few things are to fast but somehow this looks right for me. Till next Time.
