The third Hokage sat in his office, he had just finished assigning his Jōnin to their genin squad. He sighed as he looked at a form of Ayato Uzumaki.

while the boy was destined for greatness as his raw talent stood out in his generation, Hiruzen was worried for the boy, he seemed to be hurrying into a world filled with lose, pain and suffering.

"Sandaime-sama.." an anbu said appearing from thin air.

"I have a new mission for you, but you will not be needing your mask." Hiruzen said moving his hand before the unbu and with no words the unbu gave his superior his musk. revealing a teen with short, unkempt, dark-coloured hair, black eyes and a relatively broad nose and well-defined eyelashes.

hiruzen handed him a file, the teen smiled as he read the name on that file.

"you will be mentoring the Ayato Uzumaki until we find him a team."

"Hai Sandaime-sama." the teen said before vanishing into thin air.


Ayato was sitting in class with 21 other students whom managed to pass. he was looking out side the window once more, starring at the chirping-playful birds envying their carefree nature they reminded him of his brother and him.

he sighed as he looked at his scattered classmates minding their own business.

the suddenly door opened earning the attention of the entire class. a teen with short, unkempt, dark-coloured hair, black eyes and a relatively broad nose and well-defined eyelashes wearing standard Konoha-nin uniform.

"I'm here for Ayato Uzumaki." Ayato raised his hand, onyx-black eyes meet violet eyes.

"aren't you too young to be graduating." the teen asked with an eyebrow raised.

"age doesn't determine ones skill, I might be only eight years old but the fact that I'm here shows that I am more skilled then those my age." he said as he approached the teen.

"well I guess so." he said chuckling. "let's go then kid." he added with a smile.


The duo walked in to the Uchiha compound. Ayato was aware that they were going towards the compound but he thought they were going to the training grounds near the compound.

The boy looked around this was new Territory for him, no matter how much they tried, he and Naruto could never sneak into the Uchiha compound they were either stopped by anbu or the police force.

"why are we here anbu-san." the teen looked at his newly appointed student.

"seems you noticed." he said with a smile.

"your chakra sold you out and besides you are way comfortable around me like you knew me." Ayato said as he folded his arms at the back of his head.

"impressive, well with that out of the way you can call me Shisui." he said with a smile as they walked to the door of a fairly big house.

Shisui knocked and a woman opened the door. "Shisui-kun." she said with a smile before turning to the figure next to the teen, her eyes widened for a split second she could have sworn she saw her friend.

'kushina's boy. he has her eyes.' she thought as a little smile formed on her lips, her eyes never leaving the boy.

"uhm.. Mikoto-san." Shisui said with an awkward smile. this was the third time he called her name and Ayato was not doing anything better the woman just stared at him as he awkwardly waved at her with a sweat drop.

"huh? ohh, my apologies." she said with a small blaush Dusting her cheeks out of embarrassment. "I am Mikoto Uchiha and you are?" she said offering her hand.

"Ayato Uzumaki, nice to meet you Mikoto-san." Ayato said shaking her hand.

"is Itachi in??"

"uhm.. yes at the back watching the fish." Mikoto said before turning to Ayato. "you may come in."

"hai." the boy said looking at the retreating figure of his new sensei before following the woman into the house.

"do you want some tea??." Mikoto asked as she headed to the kitchen leaving Ayato setting at the dining room.

"no. thank you mikoto-san." Ayato said calmly.

"okay... So how have you and your brother been." Mikoto asked as she came back with a cup of tea. noticing the curious yet cautious look from the boy she quickly added. "I have seen you with him in the Village, running around."

"ohh.. we've been well." mikoto bit the inside of her cheek. the kid was already being cautious.

the two sat in silence. Mikoto had been staring once more and she noticed the boy looked more like Minato then Kushina, he inheritate his handsomeness. before Ayato asked.

"is something on my face mikoto-san??." he said searching his face with his hands.

"huh??..no..." she said with a sweat drop. " you remind me of an old friend of mine, you have her hair."

"ohh..." the due sat in silence before Mikoto spoke again.

"with those looks, your exotic hair and whisker marking, I bet you were popular with girls at the academy, eh?" she said with wink, making the boy blush up a storm as he turned red as a tomato.

"me? n-no.. they were far interested in Sasuke, hehe..." Ayato said with an awkward laugh as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. Mikoto smiled at the boys antic. 'easily flustered just like his father.'

"speaking of which why did you graduate early?" she asked taking a sip of her cup.

"ohh.. well, the academy is kinda boring if you know most of the stuff they are teaching."

"ohh.. what about your brother?"

"he'll just have to tough it out without me there." Ayato said with a small smile. 'he has to if he wants to be hokage.'

"Oi!! Ayato let's go!" Shisui called out from outside. Ayato turned to the women before her. " thank you for inviting me in Mikoto-san." he said with bow before leaving.

"you're welcome to visit anytime." she said with a smile as she waved the boy off.

Mikoto watched as Shisui, Itachi and Ayato left with a smile on her lips.


The three boy stood at a clearing where Itachi usually trained with Shisui. Itachi was standing A couple of meters from the duo as they stood toe to toe.

"Itachi is going to help me monitor your capabilities." Shisui said as Ayato nodded before jumping back creating space between then. A gust of wind blew through the clearing as the two stared at each other intensely. in a split second Ayato charged full speed with a kick aimed at Shisui's head. he ducked under.

once his leg returned to the ground, Ayato used the momentum to follow up with a side kick that Shisui evaded be jumping back. Ayato charged again with a palm strike with his right hand, only for shisui to shift his head to his side evading the blow, the boy rotated his body as he delivered a spinning heel kick with his left leg only for shisui to duck under he followed up with a leg sweep forcing shisui to jump over as he quickly used his arms to balance himself he delivered a kick with both his feet.

Shisui quickly crossed his arms on his chest blocking the kick that was still powerful enough to send him fly a few feet back. Ayato quickly got to his legs taking out a kunai before lunging at Shisui.

Shisui moved his head out of the sharp end of the Kunai aimed at his face, Ayato swiftly shifted his grip into a reverse grin on the Kunai as he swinged his arm back toward the teens face.

Shisui caught the boys wrist, stopping the Kunai an inch from his cheek. Ayato dropped the Kunai catching it with his right hand as he planned to slash Shisui's abdomen.

Shisui jumped away dodging the slash mere inches from his stomach, he quickly took a Kunai out deflecting the shuriken coming his way.

'he is quite persistent, and he is quite fast.' Itachi thought as he watched shisui defend himself from the genin's slashes as sparks flew from the clashing blades.

The two clashed as they played tug of war with Kunai. "What now? " shisui asked with a smirk.

Ayato knowing he can't overpower Shisui, matter of fact he was losing to him as he slowly pushed him back. he smile before kicking shisui's leg, knocking him on to his knee, Ayato followed up this a kick to the face only for his foot to connect with Shisui's forearm.

He used Shisui's arm as a spring board sending himself in the air, making a very familiar seal to all three boys he whispered. " Kage Bunshin no jutsu (Shadow clone jutsu.)" and clones puffed into existence in a big, thick white Cloud. the the memory of the plan already in it's head one of the clones ran through a series of hand seals. "(Katon: Homuranagase)Fire Release: Blazing Meteors" the clone said before expelling a myriad of small fire balls. Shisui evaded the sea of fire balls sent his way as he jumped away from them.

Shisui jumped to his left avoiding another fireball and a clone of Ayato attacked with a kick, he side stepped it and aimed a counter punch at the clone only for him to jump back as a fireball landing where he was.

Shisui landing a few feet away from the crater in amazing speed ayato appeared behind with a leg sweep, jumping up he cursed at the kids persistence bring his arms in front of him as Ayato and his clone delivered kicks sending him a few feet back.

the clone attacked with a punch, shisui grabbed him by the arm as he tosed him over his head. the clone maneuvered himself in a more pleasant position as he threw a Kunai at Shisui only for him to move his head, the Kunai missed and landed on the ground.

shisui moved his attention to Ayato, who was nowhere to be seen and in that moment two hands popped from the ground grabbing his angles as the Kunai puffed into Ayato holding a Kuna to his throat with a grin.

" so that was plan from the beginning." Itachi thought as he watched.

shisui smiled and within a blink of an eye he was gone.

"shinshun" ayato said as a copy of him jumped out of the ground with a smile. this was getting exciting.

shisui jumped out of the trees going through a series of hand seals. (Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu)Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique" shisui said before expelling a big fireball towards the group of Ayato identically beings.

Ayato and his clone sent through a series of seals themselves. "(Doton: Doryūheki)Earth Release: mud Wall" they said simultaneously as a thick big wall erected from the ground. the two jutsu collided creating a thick cloud of smoke and dust.

a couple of Kunai and shuriken shot out of the cloud going straight for Shisui, the teen jumped out of the way.

Ayato and his clone jumped out the clearing cloud, they threw shurikens at shisui seconds apart, before he went through hand seals. "(Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu)Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu" he said as the 3 shurikens turned into 21 shurikens.

Shisui prepared himself to deflect the shurikens, mere inches from colliding the two shurikens threw first turned into Identical Ayato duplicates. one grabbed shisui's left arm and the other one went for the other arm.

shisui's eyes widened as a storm of shurikens huddled towards him with both his arms incapacitated.

in a blink of an eye he disappeared once more as the shurikens impaled the clones making them dispell in the progress.

in a safe distance Shisui appeared but in that said split second Ayato appeared behind Shisui with a kunai on his kidneys shocking both Itachi and Shisui.

Shisui smiled replacing his shock before he dispersed into a bunch of crows, appearing behind Ayato.

"well that's it for our spar." shisui said with a grin. "what do you think Itachi? is he cool or is he cool."

"He is quite talented in Ninjutsu, the ability to use both doton and katon Ninjutsu at such a young age is something that takes most shinobi years to achieve." the stoic Uchiha said.

"you could have just said he is cool Itachi. " Shisui said with a deadpan expression before turning to Ayato.

"looks like you got what it takes kid, from now you will refer to me as Shisui-sensei and congrats on learning the (shinshun) body flicker. " Shisui said as he ruffled the boys hair.

Ayato rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment as he grinned.

"but.. I couldn't land a hit on you and you were on the defensive." Ayato said as he looked at the teen.

" I am jōnin kid, if I retaliated this would have ended the moment it begun plus I hate you to break it to you but it will take years before you could land a hit on me." Shisui said with a smirk as Ayato nobbed.

"now let's go get something to eat." Shisui said as he walked towards Itachi.

staring at the hokage rock Ayato tightened his fist. ' I still have a long way to go.' his thoughts were disturbed he quickly turned to Shisui and Itachi.

"what are you waiting for?? let's go eat." Ayato nobbed before running towards them.

"where do you think we should go eat kid. "

"how about ichiraku ramen."

"I'm game. how about you Itachi? "

"it's fine." the stoic Uchiha answered. and with that that the three boys headed to ichiraku's
