Caution: Before you read any further, be warned that there may be spoilers for those who aren't fully updated. I'm up to date on both the manga and anime.

Time: This takes place somewhere, I'm not sure where, but there has nothing to do with his seal and he hasn't left yet. Also, they know all their jutsus shown in the manga and anime. I'm sorry if some of it is hard to understand because some of the information comes late in the manga/anime. Tsunade is now Godaime.

Last Notes: I put some Japanese in this fanfic so if you don't understand, just look to the bottom of each chapter and it'll show the relative translation. As for jutsus, I put the English in parenthesis, but it might not describe a whole if you're not familiar with it. Hopefully it's all easy to understand though. Thanks for reading and a review would be nice. I like both encouraging comments and constructive criticism as well. Again, thanks everyone!

Chapter Two

Haro woke up to the smell of breakfast. Dashing out the door still in his pajamas, he immediately sat down, tied a napkin around his neck and held a knife and a fork in his hands. Keiji was found on the couch with a pillow behind his back, leaning on the armrest with a book at hand. Without looking up, Keiji greeted, "Ohayo, Haro."

Kirisu walked out of the kitchen with a plate of steamy eggs, sausages and pancakes. Haro's eyes bulged and his mouth watered as the plate was placed before him and without even responding to Keiji's greeting, he cried, "Itadakimasu!" and dug into his plate.

Keiji put down his book and walked over to the table and sat next to Kirisu, who was silently eating without a sound. When everyone was done eating, Haro went to his room to get changed, while Keiji helped Kirisu with the dishes. When everyone was ready to go, they put on their hats and cloaks and left from the balcony instead of the door. Arriving at their meeting place with the inspector, they waited.

To pass time, Haro skipped rocks across the river, Keiji ran and did flips upon the water to control his chakra and Kirisu ran her hand through the water creating currents with her chakra. After a while, the three heard voices coming towards them. The three of them silently muttered, "Henge (Transformation) no Jutsu."

Keiji had become a fish in the river swimming upstream, Haro had transformed into a frog at the bank of the river and Kirisu, a small bird pecking at the ground.

----------

"Sasuke-kun, tell me! What happened yesterday night? Why are you all bruised up? Speak to me, please!" cried Sakura. She had noticed Sasuke's cuts and bruises and wondered if anything happened last night.

However, Sasuke wouldn't answer her, all he did was continue to walk, ignoring the noisy voice. Naruto however, walked with his hands over his head with a disapproving face of how Sasuke was ignoring Sakura. Finally, Sasuke spoke, "Sakura! Stop it, you're annoying."

That got Sakura to shut up and they finished walking to the bridge in silence. Waiting, Naruto whined, "Man! Why do we even bother coming on time if Kakashi-sensei is only going to come late?"

Before anyone could even answer, Kakashi appeared standing on the edge of the bridge. "Hello everyone, look who I brought."

Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto all looked up to find a lady with a beige cloak and a black veiled straw hat. Naruto yelled and pointed, "Aah?! The inspector?!"

The inspector removed her hat, "Ah, so you remember me. Please, the name's Tirasu."

Kakashi laughed, "Indeed, she wanted to see how a typical four-man team trains and completes missions."

Tirasu laughed heartily, "Well not only that Kakashi-san, but I wanted your team to get acquainted with my team."

Everyone looked at her. "You have a team?!" they cried simultaneously.

Tirasu laughed again with amusement, "Last time I checked I do. They're actually watching us right now."

Everything then grew silent as Sasuke eyed the area with sharp eyes, Sakura observed every object around and Naruto scratched all about crying, "Oh crap! I hope they're not on me!"

Kakashi leaned against the bridge post and read his perverted book, "Let me know when you guys spot them."

Naruto stared angrily at his teacher, "Kakashi-sensei! How can you just stand there reading your book when we're being watched this very instance?"

Sasuke then threw a kunai, hitting a butterfly, "There!"

However, nothing happened and the butterfly's movement was quieted. Tirasu smiled uneasily, "You're Sasuke right? I'm sorry, but that was just an ordinary butterfly."

Sasuke gritted his teeth, "Kuso."

Tirasu clapped her hands together, "Okay everyone, come out!"

Keiji stood without a single drop of water dripping off his clothes, as he was the first to change back, standing calmly on the river's surface. Haro changed next; his posture was that of a wolf, ready to strike it's prey. Lastly, was Kirisu, who flown into the air, changed and come down softly, the dust gracefully parting way for her as she landed.

Sasuke's eyes widened, "You!"

Naruto began to laugh, "Aha! Looks like they fooled you again Sasuke!"

Sasuke's hair covered his eyes, "Shut up, Naruto!"

Kakashi was amused, "Oh, very obedient group you have there."

Tirasu placed a hand behind her head as she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "No, they just have their moments."

Kakashi nodded in complete understanding, "Well, I guess we should introduce ourselves first, since you're our guests. I'm Hatake Kakashi."

Naruto pointed at himself with his thumb, "I'm Uzumaki Naruto, the future Hokage of Konoha!"

Sakura bowed to the group, "I'm Haruno Sakura."

Sasuke didn't even look at the group as he spoke plainly, "Uchiha Sasuke."

Tirasu clapped her hands together, "That's splendid, okay everyone, you can take off your hats now. There's no use wearing these things if everyone already knows who you are, oh and introduce yourselves. I'm Orikasa Tirasu."

Keiji removed his hat to reveal his face, "Tsuki Keiji."

The next to do so was Haro, "Uchiha Haro."

Sasuke sharply turned his head and stared at the boy in the dark blue cloak, "You! What did you say your name was?"

Haro stare at Sasuke and repeated plainly, "Uchiha Haro."

Sasuke was taken back, Impossible, 'I'm' supposedly the only Uchiha survivor, how did a bastard like him, come to survive?

Sasuke wouldn't believe it, "You're lying. How could someone like you be a part of the infamous Uchiha Clan?"

Haro grinned, "Yeah? I should be asking 'you' the question, considering we fooled you twice with our jutsus."

Sasuke flared with anger, "Don't you EVER underestimate me!"

And with that, Sasuke activated his Sharingan and dashed towards the boy who claimed to be a part of the Uchiha Clan. However, before Sasuke could even lay a hand upon Haro, the third member, who still hadn't introduced herself suddenly appear between them. Nani? I didn't even see him! The figure threw Sasuke's outreached arm to the side and hit him violently with a flat palm. Sasuke hit the ground on his back and rolled over several times. Grasping his stomach with blood coming from his mouth, he proclaimed with realization, "You!"

The shadowy character nodded and removed the hat. Tirasu spoke for her, "And this is Makana Kiri."

Sakura covered her mouth from the astonished sight of this Kiri girl being able to surpass the sight of Sasuke's Sharingan and also, being the girl they saw last night on the balcony. Naruto's mouth dropped open as he yelled, "Naaaani?! A girl cuter than Sakura is faster than Fuzzy Eyebrows and stronger than Sasuke's Sharingan?!"

Kakashi whispered something in Tirasu's ear and she nodded, "Haro, Keiji, Kiri! Kakashi-san and I are going for a walk, don't be brutal to each other you hear?"

Kakashi looked over his shoulder, "Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura! Don't be picking fights while we're gone."

And with that, Tirasu and Kakashi left their students at the river bridge.

----------

Sasuke stood with the help of Sakura having his arm around her shoulder. "Kuso," he muttered, stilled clutching his stomach.

Naruto stared at Sasuke's condition and how sad Sakura looked to see him that way. Feeling sorry for Sakura, he glared at the team of three, "Kuso, you're all going to pay for what you did to Sasuke."

Keiji took a step in front of Kirisu, "Well your arrogant Uchiha boy started it, and didn't your sensei tell you not to pick a fight with us?"

Naruto growled, "I don't give what my sensei said about picking a fight, all I know is that you'll pay."

Sakura analyzed the team as Naruto dashed forward with a kunai at hand. Suddenly realizing something Sakura called out, "No Naruto! Don't! You're no match for them!"

But it was too late. Naruto had already run forward and would not have been able to stop. Sasuke wiped the blood with his sleeve and spoke with Sakura, "It's okay, Sakura, you can let go of me now. We're going to fight these three whether Kakashi-sensei approves of it or not."

Sakura whimpered a little bit, but nodded, "Okay, whatever happens, I'll fight by your side."

Sasuke tried to ease his stomach a little bit. "Just don't get in the way," he retorted as he dashed after Naruto, with Sakura following closely behind him.

----------

Kakashi and Tirasu were walking alongside the river about a mile away from the bridge. Kakashi stare at his book while he talked, "From what I've seen your students are well-trained are they not?"

Tirasu chuckled, "Well don't be so surprised, I have the confidence that my whole team could pass the Chuunin Exam 'and' the Jounin Exam in one year alone."

Kakashi looked at Tirasu, "Oh? So why don't they?"

Tirasu sighed, "Because it is forbidden in our village for an outsider and an illegitimate child to take the Chuunin Exam in a place other than the Hidden Village of Mist, and it has been a while since the Chuunin Exam has been hosted at our native village."

Kakashi nodded, "I see, so your Uchiha, was an illegitimate child.

Tirasu nodded sadly, "It's sad really, since he's so talented and gifted, but really, he has no parents since his mother died early after his birth and his father ran away."

Kakashi had a hand on his chin as he continued to stare at his book, "Was the Uchiha the mother, or the father?"

"The mother was the Uchiha, I believe. She was so ashamed that such a thing occurred that she ran from Konoha with Haro in her arms and came to the Mist, or so the story goes. It's been heard that his father went to become a gambler and wasted tons of money at bars and clubs. Whereas his mother died from an illness coming from the misty air, which at the time wasn't as clean as it is now due to the advanced technology. Luckily, an old couple took Haro in and he's been fine ever since, though at times the couple tells me that he runs out at night to be alone."

Kakashi nodded again. "I see," he said, while thinking, he's almost like Naruto… almost, Kakashi continued, "And the outsider?"

Tirasu sighed at the thought, "That's Kiri, she came on her own as a child. She hasn't spoken a word since, but we've had our best hypnotists, mind readers and observers to try and predict her. However, our all of the hypnotists can't seem to conquer over her mind, nor can they get her to talk. Our mind readers always pry through her mind, but either find nothing or shrink back in fear of trying again, though they can't exactly explain why, but they get chills all over their body after. As for our observers, they always come back with the same basic information: she does not or cannot speak, she lives alone, in solitude and holds the advanced bloodline similar to that of one that used to be found in the Hidden Village of Light, but things can only be hypothesized so far, they can't be proven."

Kakashi looked up from his book, "The Hidden Village of Light? Wasn't that the one that got caught in the Eclipse War with the Hidden Village of Darkness?"

Tirasu nodded, "So you've heard the story."

Kakashi smiled nervously, "Well not the entire story, I fell asleep when hearing the details."

Tirasu chuckled, "Well, the war was between the Light and the Darkness only, no other village was involved. The side effect of the war was full out days and nights where everything would just look gray. Eventually, Light won and Darkness was wiped from the map. However, a few runaway Dark Nins survived and later ambushed the Hidden Village of Light for revenge and that was the end of the Hidden Village of Light. The Dark Nin however were wounded badly and later died from their wounds. Just goes to show that there can't be light without darkness in a way. If Kiri is really an heir to the village, we can't explain why or how she was able to survive."

Kakashi looked up at the sky, Kiri… and Sasuke? Perhaps.

Kakashi thought about the rules to the Mist Chuunin Exam, "And what does your third teammate say about this whole rule about strangers and illegitimate children?"

Tirasu smiled gratefully, "He doesn't care and continues refusing to take it with another team until his teammates are permitted to take it with him."
