Chapter Two: An Uchiha Returns to Konoha

Naruto and Shiro appeared at the training grounds exhausted and surrounded by smoke. They looked around for Sakura and finally found her leaning against a tree. "Where's Kakashi-Sensei?" Shiro questioned Sakura.

"Late as usual," Sakura snapped, "I'm surprised you'd even ask by now."

"Ok, ok what's your problem?" Shiro answered.

Sakura apologized, "Sorry I just wish that Kakashi-Sensei would show up on time for once." The team of teens waited for their sensei to arrive. An 10 minutes became half an hour and half an hour became 45 minutes. When finally he showed.

"Sorry I'm late a little girl had her cat stuck in a tree and I had to help her out," Kakashi lied.

"Shut up Kakashi-Sensei! Your always late. You made me and Shiro think we were going to be late!" Naruto shouted.

"Ok do you want the real story?" the gray haired sensei asked.

"Yeah lets hear it," Shiro chimed in while he thought to himself 'this ought to be good'.

"Well it turns out that the Hokage thinks that we should have a four man team thanks to the difficulty level of the missions we will be taking in the future. We're supposed to meet him at the north gate. So lets move out." Kakashi replied.

-----------------------------------------------

Kakashi and is students slowly walked to the north gate. When they arrived Naruto heard a rumble and looked down at his stomach. 'Crap I was in such a rush this morning that I forgot to get some breakfast,' he thought to himself. As he was about to mention it to Kakashi a kunai came by a fraction away from his face. It imbedded it's self in the wooden floor next to Naruto's foot. Everyone turned there head to see the source of the kunai. Standing on top of one of the north gates two towers was a young man.

"Sakura, Naruto, Shiro I'd like to introduce you to our newest team member Ryuu Uchiha," Kakashi calmly said with his normal bored stare on his face.

"Uchiha!" Sakura cried, "But I thought you said that Itachi and Sasuke were the last of the Uchiha clan."

"As far as I knew they were but, some how Ryuu here survived," the sensei said from behind his face mask as Ryuu appeared next to them in a puff of smoke. He wore his head band as Naruto did. Behind the head band you could see his spiky black hair. It looked almost exactly like Sasuke's. He had bandages wrapped around his hands as if mimicking Rock Lee. He was wearing black sandals with dragon symbols on them, black jeans shorts with pockets and holders for different weapons, a black shirt with a red flame insignia, and he had an odd scar on his cheek. Sakura looked in to his jet black eyes. She almost couldn't take her eyes off them they reminded her so much of Sasuke.

"So this is the team my cousin Sasuke was once in," Ryuu commented, "none of you guys look to tough. I could beat the three of you."

"Hey!" Naruto and Shiro yelled in unison, "Shut up. I could beat you with my head band over my eyes," Naruto finished.

"Guys stop this. I don't won't another incidence like when Shiro arrived here," commanded Kakashi.

'Oh, yeah I remember that. It was kind of fun. I wonder how strong this guy is.' Shiro thought to himself, 'Wait a second I recognize that face. I know I've seen it somewhere I just can't quite put my finger on it. O well I better keep this to myself.'

"Ok, now that everyone has been introduced," Kakashi began, "lets head back to the training grounds and get some training in before dinner."

--------------------------------------------------

A few hour later a the training grounds

Sun beat down on the hard training teens while there grey haired sensei sat with his back against a tree looking up to see how they were doing every now and then. As Naruto and Shiro were taking a short break they watched Ryuu as he practiced jutsu on random wooden dummies that popped out of the ground. As he finished of the last one of the dummies he took a windmill shuriken and tied it to a string. He spun the shuriken around him using the string and smashed the dummy. 'Wow that was very creative,' Kakashi thought to himself, 'Know lets see how he does sparring.'
