They reached konoha & went to report back to the hokage tower.
"I've read your report, you four did great work handling more than 2 dozens of chunin & jounin level shinobi while keeping the client save & completed your mission. As a token of appreciation, you'd be getting 2 weeks off from missions but will be paid moderately during your work off." Hiruzen answered.
"Yes the hard work finally paid off I'm going to go to ichiraku's everyday!" Naruto cheered while others sweatdropped.
"Yes, I'm sure you'd enjoy it Naruto-kun but as I was saying; you four have good skills for genin rank so I'm going to offer you to participate in the upcoming chunin exam that'll be held in konoha. As other teams from the 5 great elemental nations will be present I'd like our one of the best team of the new generation to represent us." The genins smiled at the offer widely.
"As for your Daichi Tuu welcome back glad to know you're doing good. I'm appointing you as genin rank as I've heard your skills too rivals team 7's, if you wish to participate in chunin exam I have a team in mind just for you." Daichi bowed & nodded.
"Yes, hokage-sama I'd be proud to call myself a konoha shinobi & keep my parents name up." Hiruzen nodded.
"You're going to be Teamed up with Haku & other boy, he was in anbu root previously Kakashi, Zabuza, Asuma rescued him & few others who were kidnapped at young age. They've all been sent to academy, rehab & others place as they needed it. But please keep in mind that the root is an evil organization they train little kids to be emotionless killing machine, if you'd all show them what normalcy feels like it would be very great." Hiruzen finished.
"Why would they do something so cruel to little kids? That's just unfair."Hinata said anger clearly evident on her face like the rest.
"Danzo is the man behind it, I've been waiting a long time to prove it but everytime he manages to get off as he's also an elder & a part of the council. The rest I can't say you anymore" the genins nodded.
"We'll try our best to make sure he's comfortable." Haku answered.
"Thank you my dear children. Okay so this we now know another new team of genins came to form which includes Haku Yuki, Daichi Ryu & Sai. Your jounin sensei will be Zabuza Now demon of konohagakure." Hiruzen stated.
"What!? How do they get Zabuza-san as their sensei even I want to him. He won't train me now that he has his own team!" Sasuke gritted knowing that his kenjutsu master & inspiration wasn't gonna train him anymore.
"Don't worry Sasuke-kun, Zabuza will train you him being sensei to another team wouldn't hinder you." Sasuke sadly nodded.
"Now team Kakashi & Zabuza will have further mission together bec it would help both teams to make better acquaintances. I also give team Zabuza two weeks off to get to know each other & the village along side team 7." They all nodded & dismissed.
"Should we head to ichiraku's for ramen?" Naruto asked.
"We have ramen all the time I want bbq" Sasuke interrupted.
"While you guys decide what to eat we'll leave because we have to pick mine & Haku's new teammate from training ground 3." Daichi answered while haku nodded.
"We'll tag along you guys to welcome your teammate." Hinata smiled at the two boys.
"What!? Why I wanted to go get ramen not welcome some stupid guy." Naruto yelled while Sasuke agreed.
"Dobe don't call someone you don't know stupid but Yes even I want to get food after than I need to buy groceries too." Sasuke said.
"I wasn't asking Naruto-kun we are gonna go with them & welcome him." Hinata rarely used her voice of authority but when she did Naruto sweatdropped scared agreed.
"Sasuke-kun if you tag along I'll help you buy groceries & I'll also make some tomato soup & stuff for all of us." Hinata smiled while Sasuke enthusiastically nodded at her.
"Does that mean you'll cook hina-chan -ttebayo?!" Hinata nodded at him.
"Yes! I can go to ichiraku's anytime but I won't get hina-chan's cooking anytime can't miss the golden opportunity. Let's go get your new teammate then go to Sasuke's & eat the beautiful good hinata makes." Naruto said drooling.
"Yes please I'm tired of Naruto forcing us to eat ramen everyday. Im in much much need of Hinata's cooking." Haku agreed.
"Wow hino looks like your cooking is still as good as ever." Daichi smirked while Sasuke scowled.
"Thanks? I guess." Hinata answered confused.
They all freshen up & met near training ground 3 walking together to meet the new member. They saw a skinny pale skinned guy with short dark hair that could match the nightsky & equally dark eyes, he had few scrolls tied up near his waist & a small equipment box. He wore black cropped jacket & had a cropped tank top inside it, which showed off his milky white pale torso, he had black pants, ninja sandals, bandages wrapped around his thighs
with kunai pouch & black index & thumbless gloves. He had a bit chiseled stomach which was a result of training but was still quite built up at their young age.
While Naruto was muscly & a bit buffed, Sasuke had broad shoulders & lean, rigid posture but haku on the other side was lean & skinny he stood the shortest from all the boys; Daichi was almost as tall as Sasuke, he had broad shoulders & muscly arms he was lean & not too skinny.
They walked towards him as he was talking to Kakashi & Zabuza while Yugo stood besides silently. They saw the genins walking over so they stopped & looked over to them.
"Ahh my cute favourite genins are here." Kakashi cheered.
"That's creepy sensei stop." Sasuke said while Naruto & Haku nodded Hinata just giggled.
"Ettoo you boys are so mean, even after spending so much time with little one you're still a bunch of brats. You should learn from her, she's so sweet & polite unlike you uneducated monsters." Kakashi scowled.
"Sensei, that was uncalled for!" Hinata scolded Kakashi for comparing them.
"Oops sorry you all are still my favorite don't worry." Kakashi reassured them nervously.
"Yeah sensei we know hinata-chan is your favourite you don't need to pretend." Naruto said with a bored expression.
"Phew! I thought I'd have to lie to you boys." Kakashi said in relief while the genins stared at his bluntness.
"Anyways, this is Sai he's your new teammate as is Daichi." Zabuza introduced the black haired boy.
"Hello, it's nice meet you all." Sai said with a smile which was very fake. Zabuza gestured them to go through it behind sai.
"Hello sai I'm team 7's jounin instructor Kakashi Hatake." Kakashi introduced himself.
"Ah yes I've heard a lot about you Kakashi senpai or should I say sensei. You're Kakashi of the Sharingan the copy ninja who's a huge pervert. Those gravity defying white hair makes you look like a grandpa." The boys laughed when then heard it while Kakashi's eye twitched as Hinata pretended to ignore that her sensei was just now called out as a pervert. Zabuza stood behind him with a huge proud grin.
"I already love him." Zabuza snickered.
"I'm Naruto Uzumaki-ttebayo! Nice to meet you too I already like you man." Naruto grinned.
"Yes I've heard about you too as well. You're the unpredictable knucklehead ninja who has an unhealthy obsession with orange colour." Sai said smiling.
Naruto was about to punch him when Zabuza hold him off.
"You're nothing special dimwit." Naruto yelled trying to free himself from the demon's grip.
"Just like between your legs, dickless." Sai said with a fake smile. The boys laughed again especially Kakashi knowing that he wasn't the only one who had insults his way.
"You must be Sasuke Uchiha." Sai saud turning towards him.
"Hn" Sasuke replied.
"Ou yes the infamous Uchiha hn. I forgot you were the last arrogant Uchiha why ofcourse." Sai replied.
Instead of being offended Sasuke took it as a compliment & smirked while others sweatdropped at him.
"Hi I'm Daichi Ryu. Nice to meet you." Daichi said.
"Nice to meet you too I've not much heard about you but I look forward to being acquainted with the last of Ryu & their annoying habits." Daichi's eye twitched but he didn't react.
"Names Haku Yuki." Haku said smiling slightly.
"Ah the genius prodigy of now extinct Yuki clan. I've heard much about you, although I did found it hard to believe you're a boy." Sai answered.
"Ahh yes I am." Haku too smiled instead of being offended.
"I am Hinata H-hyuga nice to meet you." Hinata said nervously thinking he'd say something offended or bad about her too instead he just smiled at her it wasn't a fake one from previous ones it had a hint of genuineness behind it.
"Nice to meet you too, hinata-hime. I've heard many things about you." Hinata's face saddened at it 'so he's heard how weak I am' Hinata thought to herself.
"You have?" Sai nodded.
"Yes, you're one of the strongest kunoichi of the generation if not the strongest of them all. The rumours of Hyuga heiress who's beauty could rival the greatest of kunoichi's from the past. Although the rumours don't do justice to your beauty, it reminds me of my nee-chan." Sai muttered the last part.
The boys didn't heard it as they were busy glaring at him for beautifying their precious baby genin but Hinata didn't missed it. She had a small smile on her face after hearing it making him known that she heard it.
"Kakashi Hatake, Zabuza Momochi I am Daichi Ryu, it's great to be of your acquaintance." Dai bowed while Zabuza nodded in acknowledgment.
"It's good to see you too Daichi, Aiko-san & Misaki-san would be proud of you."Kakashi answered.
"You knew my parents?" Daichi asked.
Yugo cut him off " yes, your father sometimes alongside Fugaku, Minato, Hiashi, Jiraiya, Kushina & myself use to train Kakashi & rest of Minato's team. They were all good friends since the academy but as they grew older into clan heads & higher offical they didn't had much time though they still would try to." Kakashi smiled at the memory.
"You knew my & Hinata's father, Kakashi Sensei?" He nodded.
"I know Jiraiya the toad sage, Yondaime, Yugo-san, Tou-san, late Fugaku-san but who's Kushina sensei?" Hinata inquired.
"Kushina Uzumaki, red hot habenarro of the leaf." Sasuke answered.
"Yes, Sasuke's right. How do you know of her Sasuke?" Kakashi asked.
"She, my mom & Hinata's mom use to be good friends since the academy " Sasuke answered.
"Another Uzumaki? Who is she? Why haven't I heard of someone with the same last name as mine? Is she in Konoha?" Naruto asked.
"She died protecting konoha alongside Yondaime during the kyubi's attack. Sometimes i heard my mother saying how she missed her both friend before she died." Sasuke answered saddened at the memories of his own mother.
"Now that I think of I remember her visiting graveyard before she died, when I asked her who it was she said it was her red hotheaded Uzumaki friend. I use to laugh at the name she gave her." Hinata stated.
"During the kyubi's attack huh? Jiji said even my parents died during the kyubi's attack. He never told me who they were or their names, they must've known the other Uzumaki that was also in the village." Naruto answered.
"Are you sure Naruto? Because the only casualities during the kyubi's attack was Yondaime & his wife I guess. Because Yugo-san made sure quiet strictly that I know of the village's history even though I don't stay there after my parent's death." Daichi asked.
"Wait a minute if the only 2 casualities was Yondaime & his wife then how did Naruto's parents died. I'm guessing the other Uzumaki was Yondaime's wife, as she's the only other who died alongside the fourth." Haku muttered his face in deep thought.
Kakashi & Yugo sweatdropped at the genins who were close to knowing the secret of Naruto's parents.
"Wow, I'm glad I had this team. Look at all of us, we're all orphans who had dysfunctional family. While you guys knew yours me & Naruto are still unknown to it but it's good to know that I'm not the only one who's without parents." Sai fake smiled while everyone saddened at it but couldn't do anything knowing it was true.
"Sai-kun that was a little insensitive of you." Hinata said masking her sadness.
"Oh it was? I didn't knew of it I apologise for my insensitivity" others nodded.
After a minute, Haku spoke up.
"Are you all thinking what I am thinking?" Haku asked while Hinata, Daichi, Sasuke nodded.
"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked.
"Dobe we just might've figured out who your parents are." Sasuke answered.
"Sasuke-teme, make jokes & pranks on whatever you want but don't drag my unknown dead parents in it or I swear to god it'll not end good for you." Naruto growled at him.
"Ne Naruto-kun wait, he's not joking or pranking around. We're all very serious, we know the pain of losing parents we would never joke about it." Hinata tried to reason with her teammate.
"Naruto see you said that sandaime told you your parents died during kyubi's attack & you said you're sure he didn't lied." Naruto nodded at haku.
Daichi continued "So if the only two casualities were Yondaime's & his Uzumaki wife. As long as I know, the previous jinjuriki, kyubi's container was also an Uzumaki & before that it was First hokage's wife Mito Uzumaki."
"Where are you all getting at with this?" Naruto said annoyed at the mention of kyubi.
"Naruto-kun think about it the fourth was a Namikaze but he was still an expert in seals & Uzumaki's were known for seals experts & huge chakra reserves which helped them seal the tailed beasts into the people. You have huge chakra reserves even if you're an Uzumaki it's still too much it's 3 or more times than all of ours combined & the chakra rampaged around you during our first C rank mission we figured it was the nine tails." Hinata answered.
"You guys knew I had the kyubi inside me?" Sasuke & Hinata nodded.
"But you still were friends with me even after knowing the truth?"
"Dobe just because you have an annoying fox inside you doesn't mean that we'd think of in a different way. You're still our teammate, our friend although I never thought I'd admit but you're like a brother to me." Sasuke said with a small smile.
"Yes, kyubi or no kyubi you'll still be my best friend & my teammate. No beast or demon can make us think of you in a bad way. You'll always be the unpredictable knucklehead ninja who's gonna be hokage one day." Hinata said while the her two teammates were trying not to cry. Naruto hugged his teammates & thanked them for being with him.
"Enough of this as I was saying Naruto the only possible outcome is that Yondaime's your father while Kushina Uzumaki is your mother, I think she was the previous jinjuriki but when she died during the attack we don't how the fourth sealed the kyubi in you who were a newborn." Sasuke answered.
"How can someone as great as fourth be a father to someone like me some demon brat? There's no way he's my father." Naruto cried.
"Naruto, this about it Konoha's yellow flash the great fourth he had the exact same shade of blonde hair & blue eyes. Your whiskers of birthmark is the only thing that differs in the looks." Haku questioned
"If the fourth was my father why would he seal a demon fox within his own son." Naruto said as tears rolled down.
"Naruto-kun, if your mother was the previous jinjuriki & an Uzumaki then no one else other than you was more suited to be the next jinjuriki. Maybe Yondaime thought to continue & respect the Uzumaki legacy therefore he sealed it in you as so it'll help you get stronger even if they're not here." Hinata answered while him & Sasuke tried to console him.
They soon decided to ask the hokage himself about it hoping he'd answer truthfully while Yugo & Kakashi decided that it would be best not to interfere with the genins solving mysteries
They reached hokage's office 2nd time on the same day forgetting all about their little food mishap.
"Oh to what do I owe the pleasure of meeting genins of team Kakashi & Zabuza twice a day while their sensei & legendary younin himself." Hiruzen smirked.
"Jiji I have a question. Can you promise to answer it trustfully & not to disband it without answering it?" Hiruzen squinted his eyes at his prodigal grandson.
"I'll think about it after you state your question." Naruto hesitated but still asked him.
"Are my parents Konoha's Yellow Flash the fourth Minato Namikaze & Red hot Habenarro Kushina Uzumaki?" Naruto asked.
Hiruzen's eyes widened a bit at it but he quickly gained his composure.
"Yes it is true Naruto-kun." Hiruzen said politely not wanting to hide the identity of the poor boy's parents anymore.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" Naruto asked while his lips quivered.
"Minato was a genius prodigy he was the hero of 3rd shinobi war. His name struck fear in the enemies mind & they lost the battle before fighting. He had gained many enemies in order to protect konoha. If it was known to everyone that Minato died & left his offspring behind it would've meant your death, as thousands or lakhs would've came behind your life when you were just s defenseless baby that's why it was decided you'd take your mother's last name & your identity as his son will be hidden until you're strong enough to protect yourself." Hiruzen stated.
"Okay I understand. But why would he seal kyubi in me even though it was sealed in my mother before?" Hiruzen was surprised how Naruto knew so much.
"The only time a jinjuriki's seal naturally weakens is during birth. When Kushina was pregnant with you she was a jinjuriki but somehow the enemy knew the seal weakens during the childbirth so after minutes you were born the enemy attacked your mother capturing the kyubi inside her, generally the jinjuriki instantly dies when the tail beast is extracted but being an Uzumaki resulted in strong lineage of huge reserves & great stamina so she survived. The Yondaime was quick to get hold of the fox with the help of Kushina before it completely annihilated konoha after he saved you from the man who attacked & extracted kyubi. He fought the man off injuring him greatly but still he got away, as kyubi was about to attack you to spite Minato, Kushina & him jumped in front of the attack. He decided to seal the half of kyubi within him & the other half in you. To make sure that kyubi wouldn't hurt you he performed a deadly jutsu which summons Shinigami the god of death who takes the soul away of the summoner & the one he wishes to be killed alongside him." Naruto tried to process everything as did the other genins.
"Do you have anymore questions Naruto-kun?" Hiruzen asked.
"No jiji not at the moment." Hiruzen nodded.
The sandaime looked over to see Kakashi & Yugo with sad faces as he glared at them.
"Might I know how Naruto discovered about his parents within few hours of last seeing me?" The both men sweatdropped.
"Ne jiji don't scold them they didn't said anything. My teammates helped me figure it out they did all the work." Naruto said thankfully.
"They did?" He looked over at Kakashi as he nodded.
"No offense hokage-sama but what'd you expect when you put together a bunch of annoyingly smart brats together as a team. They would've figured it out sooner or later." Hiruzen sighed & nodded in understanding.
"Now that I know you have a great team, can protect yourself & others. I'd propose to announce to the village of your real identity after the chunin exams during the upcoming Sakura festival which is about 9 -10 months away." Naruto nodded with a slight smile feeling happy knowing that he actually had parents & have friend's who cared about him & look out for him.
•••
After the whole parents revelation, the genins carried onto their food plans & decided to meet the next day for training.
Hinata got up early in the morning & went to make herself & others breakfast. After she was done she made few bentos for her teammates & friends as they were training today.
She got ready in one of the new ninja gear Hanabi forcefully bought for her, she was about to leave when she heard her father calling.
"Hinata"
"Hai Otou-san?"
"Come here & sit daughter I want to hear about your recent mission." Hiashi said in a strict usual voice.
Hinata made her way towards her father & discussed about her mission & formation of a new genin team.
"You did good daughter, keep it up." Hiashi said in a soft tone.
Hinata was shocked by the miniscule acknowledgment her father gave, she was happy that he finally didn't see her as a burden.
"I'll try my best Tou-san"
"I'm sure you will"
Hiashi was about to dismiss her when she spoke again.
"Father? Were you friends with Late Yondaime & Fugaku-san?" Hinata asked.
Hiashi narrowed his eyes at her & gave a small nod.
"Yes I was, how do you know about this?" The Hyuga patriarch asked curiously.
"Well, My team & Team Zabuza were talking yesterday & somehow the topic drifted off to you, Yondaime, Fugaku-san, Kushina-san, Lord Jiraiya, Yugo-san use to teach Kakashi-sensei's genin team."
"Ahh yes we use to, it was mostly an excuse for all of us to get together sometime between the hectic lives as shinobis, clan heads & stuff." Hinata smiled at this.
"I recently came to know that mom & you, Sasuke-kun's parents & Naruto-kun's parents were all friends." Hiashi gave her the look.
"How do you know about Naruto's parents? Do you know who they are?"
"Hai Tou-san, yesterday my teammates & others figured out that Naruto-kun's parents were late Yondaime & Kushina-san. Poor Naruto-kun never knew who his parents were until yesterday, he went to hokage-sama to confirm it & we were right, he also explained why it was important to hide his Lineage & legacy from the horrors of the world. He also informed that he will announce everyone of this information during the finals of chunin exams near the sakura festival." Hiashi nodded at this.
"Well I'm glad the boy now knows who his parents were." Hiashi said in a soft voice.
Hinata smiled "yes me too I hope now he'll be treated like he deserves to be not as how villagers put him as."
"You know of what's inside of him?" Hiashi asked slowly as to not let other's hear it.
"Yes, me & Sasuke-kun came to know about it when we were in Kiri."
"So you don't feel anything about that like the villagers do?"
"Why should I? He's still our teammate my bestfriend just because the villagers don't understand the difference between a kunai & a scroll doesn't mean I don't." Hiashi looked at her with a gleam in his eyes.
"You're right. Everyday you act more & more like your mother, even thought she had kekkai genkkai of ice & crystallization like you, you both have the warmest of hearts ever. You remind me of her everytime I look at you." Hiashi said sadly.
Hinata had tears in her eyes as she couraged herself to embrace her saddened father. They both sat like it for a few minutes then they part their ways.
Hinata got her gear & the bentos for everyone & went towards the training grounds.
She saw Haku, Sasuke, Daichi, Sai & Naruto already there with Zabuza as Sasuke & Daichi were talking with Zabuza while Haku was sharpening his weapons while arguing over
something with Naruto, Sai was sketching in the corner away from everyone. She was reminded of her academy self who use to sit alone in the corner doing her own work or something.
She made her way towards him & sat down beside him.
"Ohayo, sai-kun" Hinata smiled.
"Ohayo hinata-chan" Sai replied back.
"What are you drawing?" She asked as she tried to peak at his Sketch book.
"It's not ready yet but it's about my life when I was in ROOT."
"Oh...I'm sorry sai-kun you had to be in a place like ROOT, I really wish now that you're away from it's claws you'll have a life you deserve."
You don't have to apologise for anything hinata-chan. As brutal as ROOT was I'm happy I was there because I found my first friend, my nee-chan there. I don't even for a minute regret being kidnapped by ROOT because I got to meet someone like her."
"Oh that's nice you met someone. What was her name? Is she still in ROOT or did she got out like the few ones with you?" Sai saddened at the question.
"We didn't had any names we only had stage name, her stage name was Shini as mine was Sai & no she's not there she bacame very sick with an uncureable disease. We had a surprise test there in which the one you're most close with out of all is the one you're suppose to fight till one of them dies we didn't knew of this until the test. She was the closest to me as I was for her so she ran straight into my attack. I didn't even knew she was sick until she told me while she was dying in my arms."
Hinata gasped at this as she was reminded of Hanabi, the mere thought of losing her dropped her stomach. She hugged him tightly, he was shocked for few seconds but soon embraced her back. They didn't realise that the rest of their genin team & Zabuza were staring at them.
"Don't worry sai-kun, you'll lose no one else anymore I promise. I cannot replace Shini, no on can but I'd love to have you as a brother." Hinata whispered while rubbing his back.
"Hai, Arigatou.." sai smiled in her hair.
After they break their embrace they turn towards the rest of the boys staring at them. Sai knew they heard his story but was worried inwardly that they'll hate him for killing his friend, his sister just for an examination.
Naruto & Daichi grinned at Sai while Sasuke smirked & Zabuza nodded & Haku gave him a small smile. Sai was shocked by their reaction & gave them a genuine small smile for the first time.
Kakashi decided to grace everyone with his presence by proofing suddenly in front of them with a salute & "yo"
They all started with few warm ups then Zabuza took Sasuke for training kenjutsu as his clone was helping Daichi for taijutsu. Kakashi trained Naruto with few wind style jutsu while his clone was watching over Sai & Haku's combat. Hinata was practicing her new modified Hyuga jutsus.
Sasuke improved his snake's mantle to 30% as did Naruto with his fox sheen. They both added few other elemental jutsu in their arsenal as Daichi used fire based ninjutsu & mediation for awakening his kanjōgan. Sai was perfecting his taijutsu & his ninja art, Sasuke started to use more g more weaponry & customising them in deadly way with help of his toxicology study. Naruto worked on his taijutsu & ninjutsu while learning & practicing more about fuinjutsu after he learned about Uzumaki legacy. Hinata practiced taijutsu with her father, basic kenjutsu with Zabuza & Sasuke, ice style with Haku & ninjutsu with Kakashi & Daichi, while learning about fuinjutsu with Naruto.
She perfected her crystal release while making new Hyuga techniques & incorporating them as well. She taught others basic medical jutsu for any emergency & continued her own study of medical jutsu & herbs.
She created few new techniques in one of them she forms chakra sword & use it to incapicate the opponent chakra points while implementing external damage, she named it 'gentle fist - 64 twin swords' She couldn't perform rotation to save her life so she made an alternative technique 'Protective 8 trigrams- 128 plams' (this is canon so you know what it does) when she showed this technique to her father he was impressed & decided to make it a official Hyuga jutsu.
They all continued to train till it was late noon when everyone took a break to eat as they were starving. They all ate the bentos Hinata bought for everyone while she stuffed her face with cinnamon buns Kakashi bought.
"Arigatou sensei they're delicious." Hinata said with a mouthful.
"Little one you have the manners of a princess while doing everything but when it comes to cinnamon buns you act like Naruto." Everyone laughed while Hinata grew red in embarrassment but still stuffing her face with cinnamon buns.
"I'm full with Hinata's cooking only, I don't have any space for buns Hinata you can have my share too." Sasuke said
Hinata gave him a puffed with buns cheeks smile & a thank you look.
"Have mine too little one I bought it for you only." Kakashi said.
"Hehe thank you, you know what you all must be very full from the bentos so don't worry I'll finish all the buns myself" she smiled innocently while trying to make a run with buns box.
As the rest understood what she meant & realising she was running away they went to chase her.
Kakashi & Zabuza chuckled at their antics while Sasuke sighed.
"I'll go make sure they don't die or something." Sasuke said & went off to them.
As Hinata was running with box in her hand she realised that she needed more speed, she had agility & flexibility of the best for combat but her speed was above average as Haku was closing in on her her fast. She decided to work on it better once she finished all the goodness in a box she had.
While thinking & running like crazy she didn't realised she ran into somebody as they both tripped down. The box in her hand was flipped in the air as she was like watching it in slow motion while the boys chasing her gasped knowing that they'll face scary Hyuga heiress because her buns will be all spoiled. Half of the buns landed on the floor while others were dumped on a certain pink haired girl's face who ran into her.
Hinata stared at the heavenly goodness dumped on the ground with wide eyes while ino who was with Sakura laughed at her cinnamon bun filled face. Sakura twitched as she heard laughter erupting.
Sasuke arrived & fully understood what happen & was scared for his life now. Sakura pointed her long, skinny, bony finger at Hinata.
"You! It's because of you I'm soaked in all this shit. Do you have any idea how much time it took for me to look this good! What if my Sasuke-kun sees me like that?" Sasuke cleared his throat to show he already did saw her, she turned & saw Sasuke & gasped.
"Sasuke-kun my darling, look what Hinata did to me, she ran into me purposely & dumped this ugly sweet sticky buns on me." Sakura whined trying to get Sasuke's attention.
Sasuke was about to give her a snide remark when Hinata got up slowly she made her way towards sakura. As she did she released heavy killer intent of was worse than Naruto's kyubi mode. Everyone around stopped & stared at the sight while fearing for their lives. Civilians around trembled & paralysed by the aura in the air. Naruto & Ino gulped so did Daichi while sai tried to keep an emotionless face & not show any fear. Sasuke & Haku felt the intensity but smirked Knowing how pissed hinata get's when it comes to her cinnamon buns. They were just happy that they had no part in it & were safe from her wrath.
Sakura shivered & visibly trembled as she made eye contact with Hinata's activated byakugan. To say she was scared was an understatement but she kept her Brave demeanor as Sasuke was watching but failed miserably. Hinata leaned in her mouth was near Sakura's ear as she said sharply making everyone flinch at the cold voice.
"They're not ugly or sticky. The only things that's ugly & sticky her is you. Don't you dare call them that ever again or I will kill you." Sakura paled as a white sheet & began to fear for her life.
Even with the intense & deadly aura Ino began to laugh at Sakura's paled face as soon others joined in. Sakura gritted in anger & left running away leaving everyone there laughing.
Hinata instantly felt guilty for threatening her but then she remembered that sakura called cinnamon buns ugly & sticky. As Hinata's mom use to make cinnamon buns for her every week while she helped it was like a mother-daughter thing the only thing she remembered about her mom.
"Damn Hinata I didn't knew you had it in you. Gosh her reaction was priceless." Ino laughed while others chuckled.
Then her eyes landed on team Zabuza as she eyed them all her eyes lingering longer on Sai.
"Who are you boys?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Ahh they're a new genin team that recently formed, this is Daichi Ryu, Haku Yuki & Sai their jounin instructor is Zabuza sensei." Naruto explained.
"Ohh okayy nice to meet you all I'm Yamanaka Ino, from Yamanaka clan my family owns a flower shop just down the street feel free to visit anytime I'll also give you your first order for free." Ino smiled at them.
"So where are you going?" Naruto asked ino.
"Ohh I dragged billboard brow with me so we'll train or something but she ran away as you know" ino replied
"We were also training you could join us if you want." Hinata asked smiling.
The boys sweatdropped at the smiling girl who was just give death threats 3 minutes ago.
"Oh yes I would like that, if that's okay with you." Ino asked not wanting others to be uncomfortable because of her. Everyone nodded in approval of the addition & went to the training grounds.
As they were walking Ino & Sai started small talk with turned into full blown conversation while others smirked at the development.

Team Kakashi, Team Zabuza & Team Asuma were called by the hokage after their 2 week off.
"Hokage-sama, you summoned us?" Shikamaru asked.
"Ahh yes yes I did. I have a mission for Team 7, 10, 11 (zabuza's team is 11 made up ik but fanfiction logic) You all are supposed to go to Land of Tea as they've been having problems regarding the fertility of the land due to lack of rain. That's why they asked for our help, your work is to deliver the grains & rations they ordered from leaf & make sure it reaches them safely. Your mission will be of a week including the traveling time. As Kakashi & Zabuza will be leaving for another mission I gave them that's why Asuma will be your only jounin instructor" they all nodded while Naruto yelled in anticipation.
"Meet me near the gate in 2 hours pack accordingly." Asuma smiled at the genins.
They all nodded & went back to pack their stuffs & meet later.
Naruto was working on gravity seals after he was done packing to help the load of the grains & rations be lessened. When he was done he saw Haku & Daichi waiting for him at his window. He packed up his sealing material just incase & went off towards the gate with them.
Sai, Ino & Hinata met halfway through & started walking off towards the gate. As they reached there they saw Asuma talking with Sasuke who's admiring his brass knuckles with literal sparkles in his eye which was quite weird but eh. Choji was munching on his chips while Shikamaru dozed off. Naruto & others came & joined others as well.
As they were about to cross the gate a blur of silver & dark hair came hustling through.
A very panting Kakashi & Zabuza stopped the genins & the jounin.
"Kakashi- sensei are you okay?" Ino asked.
"No I'm most certainly not okay" he exasperated.
"What happened Kakashi we have mission to do! Hurry up!" Asuma asked.
"Asuma my friend promise me you'll protect my & zabuza's team with your life as they're your own genins." Kakashi asked pleading the wind user.
"Of course I would protect them even though they're not my team. What do you take me for?" Asuma asked.
"No no you don't get it, we're talking about team 7 C rank curse." Zabuza answered.
"What curse?" Shikamaru asked.
"Team 7 of all generations including mine, legendary sanins & this generation have C-rnk curse. It means that their C- rank mission never stays the same, there's always something that happens which makes it A or S rank." Kakashi explained.
"Kakashi-sensei they're just myths I'm sure there is no such curse." Choji answered.
"Yeah he's right sensei, it's all bull." Sasuke agreed.
"Is it though? You've been on 3 C- rank mission haven't you? They've all been changed into A rank, didn't they? I thought the first mission to save was just a coincidence but now I'm very sure it's a curse." Kakashi answered.
"A-are you telling me that we've b-been cursed?" A pale Naruto asked while Kakashi nodded.
"Don't worry Kakashi Zabuza I'll take care of all your genins." Asuma assured.
"Eh, it's okay if the boys are injured or something they'll live. Nothing should happen to Hinata." Zabuza growled.
"I agree I agree the boys can jump off a cliff but nothing should happen to the precious little one here." Kakashi said while hugging a pale & confused looking Hinata with Zabuza & crushing the poor girls life out of her.
The rest of the genins & Asuma watched the 2 men who are feared by nations blabbering about how cute their little genin is.
"Man they really don't care bout us at all do they?" Naruto asked.
The rest of team 7 & 11 nodded in agreement.
"Your sensei's are weird." Shikamaru said.
"Tell me about it" Said an annoyed Sasuke.
"Sensei I can take care of myself thank you so much for worrying about me." a confused hinata answered.
"Oh we know you can, I had the first hand experience" Zabuza & Kakashi said creepily together.
When the Asuma & genins finally peeled off an overprotective Kakashi & Zabuza off of Hinata they went along their journey.
They reached their Destination after 3 days without any problem except the puny bandits which Asuma took care of. Their stay in the village for 2 days after distributing the rations was delightful. They left in the morning to return to Konoha.
As their were jumping through branches faster than before as they had no extra loads, Haku & Asuma noticed few violent chakra signatures near by they all paused at the signal & decided to check the situation out. As they made their way towards the strangers, Hinata activated her byakugan & began to search off.
"I see 21-22 people, t-they're all rogue ninjas from their headbands it seems like their surrounding another m-man, who is fighting them off alone. We need to help him!" Hinata explained.
"If as you said is correct then we have to help him; Shikamaru, Ino, Sai, Chojiyou three will be hidden while using your skills to take out the enemies from there. Daichi & Naruto I want you to defend the man in danger while helping the others fight from sidelines. Sasuke, Hinata, Haku & I will fight from the frontlines as their dōujutsu will help & Hinata can heal the injured too." They all nodded in understanding.
Soon they began to piece together their plans as everyone took their positions while using Ino's mind jutsu to help everyone communicate.
As they neared the situation everyone saw how skillfully the lone man was taking out the rogues as much as how skilled he was, he was also low on chakra & wouldn't have lasted few more fights. The man had dark raven short unruly curly hair with a bandana on his forehead, he wore a grey pants, fishnet gloves wrapped with bandages & navy blue High collar t-shirt with standard blue shinobi sandals, he had a leather tanto holder on his back. Hinata informed them of this as she took notice of it with her byakugan & Asuma signaled them to start the plan.
'Fuck Team 7's C-rank curse' Asuma thought.
Asuma saw as a rogue was about to make a beeline for him with his kunai & aimed his brass knuckles on the rogue impaling his chest. Others came out & started attacking the rogues as few helps from the bushes. Sai was making his drawing into attacking the rogues while Ino used her Mind jutsu to screw them into killing each other while Shikamaru used his shadow to lead choji's boulder form towards the enemies.
Haku used his superior speed & accuracy to fight the rogues off swiftly, Sasuke used his swordsmanship to defeat the ninjas while using his customized poisonous weapon every chance he got. Asuma used his blades & swiftly took out hoards of rogue ninjas as Hinata crystallized blades pierced through the rogues while she noticed another wave of rogues incoming.
"We have another batch coming over from 2'o clock & 6'o clock. They're all jounin level or more." Hinata exclaimed.
The unknown man despite being los on chakra kept fighting Ino saw this & used her mind jutsu to tell Hinata to heal him. As she got the message she nodded towards Daichi.
"Cover me" he nodded & got into position.
She made her way towards the man & used her blades to swiftly impale the ones he was fighting. He turned towards to see the one who did it & saw Hinata running towards him.
"Don't worry, I know bit of medical jutsu I'm just here to heal you you're extremely low on chakra." He narrowed his eyes but nodded. She made 2 shadow clones of her as they activated their 'gentle fist : twin wolf fangs' to absorb the chakra from the rogues all she needed was few touches to deplete them completely of their chakra. She started healing the man as she was healing with a strange purplish glow on her hand she used another one to do handsigns & create a mild mist to heal her teammates injuries & replenish their chakras. A shadow clone full of absorbed chakra poofed away giving her real self the extra chakra.
As she tended his wounds she saw the blue-ish tint skin around she gasped & immediately looked for her teammate.
"Sasuke! I need your help your help he's been poisoned." Sasuke grunted & used his sparked snake bite on the incoming hoards with help of Haku's melted ice needles.
Naruto's clones defended any incoming rogues towards the unknown man & his teammates while Daichi used his tanto & earth style to bury them all underground.
Sasuke made his way through to Hinata & started examining the wound. As he got closed he looked towards the man who looked strangely familiar.
"The poison is level 3 I have few antidotes but not the one perfectly suited for this. I could go old school & mismatch but it'll take time about more than 5-7 mins." Hinata nodded.
"Why are they behind you? I mean alk these rogues you must've done something or have something for it to be so bad." Sasuke asked.
"Ahh yes, they recently discovered bout my dōujutsu & they want it for themselves." The man explained.
"Dōujutsu? You don't look have byakūgan or Kanjōgan for you to be part of Hyuga or Ryu? I'm aware of how Rinnēgan looks like. Which dōujutsu are you talking about?" Hinata asked, Sasuke nodded at this.
"Looks like I'll have to show you." The man hesitated for the second before activating his dōujutsu. The two uchiha-hyuga duo stared in shocked at this eyes & wondering how was it possible.
Dark obsidian orbs changed into Crimson blood with 3 tomoes spinning. Sasuke jerked away from the man with shocked filled wide eyes. He was suddenly enraged at the man & got up to grab his collar with his poison laced sword next to his throat. Hinata finally snapped & decided to save the unknown man from Sasuke.
"Sasuke stop! You're not suppose to hurt him. I'm sure he has a reason for it." Hinata tried calming the scary Uchiha but to no avail. She finally decided to lock up his chakra points to
stop him. His hand went limped as he glared at Hinata for the first time with pure rage, he realised what he did & his face softened with guilt consuming him.
"How do you have did? Did you steal it from the the Uchiha before the massacre?" Sasuke growled the man shook his head calmly.
"I didn't steal anyone's eyes" Sasuke was taken aback by the answer, Hinata gasped in understanding.
"He's telling the truth I see no implantation around his eyes, it his own natural eyes only." Hinata answered with her byakugan activated.
"Does t-that.. mean y-you-re..?" Sasuke asked trying to process everything.
The man gave a small smile & nodded.
"Hai, I'm Shisui Uchiha Konoha's Body Flicker." Hinata gasped remembering the name of the man she heard with praises when she was just a child.
"S-shi..shisuii...?" Sasuke asked.
"Hai, Sasuke I almost didn't recognised you." Shisui smiled.
Suddenly Sasuke pungled his non-poisonous kunai into his arm & removed it harshly. Shisui flinched at the pain with embarassed face, Sasuke hugged Shisui suddenly. Hinata smiled at the reunion of 2 Uchiha as she left a clone with them to cover them while joining the front lines.
Soon they defeated all the rogues & the few ones with list as B & A rank rogues in bingo book. Naruto stored the ones with bounty on their head in scroll while the rest buried the dead ones. When Asuma & others got to know about shisui's identity they were shocked. They all decided to report their mission to hokage.
They reached Konoha tired, battered, stinky, dirty as they made their way to hokage tower. The hokage was beyond shocked at Shisui's identity.
"I've read your mission report, good work everyone you all can take next 4 days off. As for the ninjas you captured with bounties on their heads, you'll get 75% of the total bounty equally debited to your ninja paycheck & the rest will be used for village wellfare." They all cheered at it while Naruto & ino yelled.
"As for you Shisui it's a pleasant surprise to know you're still alive may I ask how?" Hokage asked as everyone turned towards the older Uchiha.
"I'd like just Sasuke-chan's team here while I talk to you." The rest got the message & dismissed themselves. Shisui turned towards the hokage.
"Let's start from the begining, you see during the kyubi's attack 12 years ago where Yondaime lost his life to seal it after that there was a rumour that the kyubi was under the control of an Uchiha. Which directed the suspicions towards the Uchiha clan due to this the Uchiha clan were closed off & shunned by everyone as you're aware. We shifted near the outskirts of the village living independently as you're already aware because of this seclusion & isolation the Uchiha were forced to plan a Coup which myself & few others never supported." Hinata & Naruto gasped at this while Sasuke kept quiet.
"Somehow the planning of coup came through to the elders but instead of talking & sorting out the problem in a civilized way they started targeting the uchiha's more. Around the same time many Uchiha children & women went missing, the clan wasn't very stable at that time. When we came to know about the coup & everything we tried to dissolve the matter but it went extreme. It forced to use my eye's ability Kotoamatsukami to manipulate the clan head into dissolving the coup. Before I could do it was called in by Danzō Shimura, I was attacked by him & his anbu ROOT members & stole my left eye before they could get their hands on another one I quickly flickered. I knew that as long as I was alive they'd chase me for my eyes but at that time they didn't knew that it could only be used just once every decade." Everyone was just staring at Shisui the whole time.
"... Therefore I decided to end things, I called Itachi to meet me near the naka cliff, when we met I gave him my other eye & jumped off the cliff as to end my life there. I trusted him with my other eye, after that I had no knowledge of what happened to the clan & everything. All I remember is waking up in a cave a year back where a really old lady who called herself Yamure healed me & my eyes back. I'm forever in her debt. I spend the whole of last year getting back on to my feet & training while getting my body to jerk back up. When I was training a few rogues saw me & my eyes since then they've been chasing after my eyes. Any dōujutsu is worth mountains of golds & something like sharingan or byakugan is what people will kill for." Shisui finished.
"I'm sorry to pry but how did the woman named Yamure as you said heal your eyes you'd need an implantation if your eyes were stolen off, healing the nerves around it for the implantation is already hard but healing the nerves into formation of another pair of natural eyes is impossible." Hinata asked wide eyed.
"Yes when I woke up I find it quite strange too. But Yamure-san said she use the old methods of healing with her byakugan everyday she'd send miniscule amount of chakra to heal the nerves near the eyes to form it's natural growth & development due to which even after the nerves being severed it was easy to joined the back by healing & developing the natural state if the eye back." Hinata stared in amazement.
"You said the lady had byakugan? Isn't she suppose to be a hyuga then?" Sasuke finally asked.
"Yes she does have byakūgan but she isn't a Hyuga she's an Otsutsuki who's descendant is Uchiha & Hyuga. Uchiha's & Hyuga's have the same ancestors you could say they're sisters of dōujutsus."
Shisui finished.
"Even if she's mine & Sasuke's ancestor would she be too old to be alive?" Hinata asked.
"Yes when I said an old lady I mean it she's 800 years old." He answered
"800!? ARR YOU KIDDING?!" exclaimed Naruto.
"Yes 800, you see as sharingan has different evolving stages so does byakugan. Byakugan can evolve into tenseigan under right circumstances which I still don't know, she's a sage user due to which she uses natural energy to keep herself alive. At first I thought she was evil old bitch who just wanted power to keep living on forever but she's waiting for the another byakugan user to take care of the Okami wolf spirit & pass on her studies then she could die easily." The hokage & everyone tried to absorb all the knowledge regarding everything
"She healed me in exchange to find the perfect byakugan user of this era who is born with otsutsuki chakra she gave me a seal which directs me to the source of chakra." Shisui explained.
"Well did you managed to find the source of thar certain byakugan user." Hokage asked intrigued.
"I did I was following the source of the chakra only before the rogues started chasing me but luckily the source came to me itself." He smiled hokage smirked & nodded in understanding while the genins were confused.
"What do you mean?it came to you?" Naruto asked.
"I meant the chakra source was Hinata itself. She's the one born in this era with otsutsuki chakra & almost perfect byakugan."
"M-me? How's that possible? I never sense anything different with my chakra source." Hinata asked shocked & confused.
"Well you see you need sort of activation to get & develop the chakra which can be given just by an Otsutsuki itself. Which is why I'm supposed to take you to learn things there after the next eclipse." Shisui explained.
•••
"Are you sure it's me? The seal could be damaged you never know." Hinata answered.
"Wait a minute- why would that crazy super old lady want to do with Hinata-chan after the Eclipse dattebayo?" Shisui face palmed himself.
"You see Naruto-kun, Yamure-san is Hinata-san's ancestor it is her duty & heritage to learn more about her lineage & legacy. Just like yours & Sasuke's is to learn about Uzumaki & Uchiha respectively." Both boys nodded in understanding.
"Thank you Shisui for giving us your time. I'm really glad you're back, as for your request for konoha shinobi title. It is granted to you with your previous elite jounin position. Although before continuing your active duty make sure you get a body check up done at the hospital just incase." Hokage ordered.
"Hai" shisui answered.
"As for you three, whatever that was said in this room except the fact of Shisui's identity should be kept as an S rank secret." The 3 genins nodded in understanding.
"You're dismissed"
"How about I treat you three something for lunch?" Shisui asked.
"Hehe, yes! Let's go!'' Naruto exclaimed.
"We are not going to ichiraku's" Sasuke scowled.
"What!? Sasuke-teme no! How can we not go to ichiraku's?! I need ramen -ttebayo!"
"I said no already we're gonna go get dumplings Naruto-dobe"
"Teme!"
"Dobe!"
"Teme!"
"Dobe!"
"Teme!"
"Dobe!"
"Teme!"
"Dob-Where's Hinata-chan & Shisui-niisan?" Sasuke asked.
"They left us!" Naruto cried frantically.
Sasuke dragged Naruto by the collar to search for his cousin & his teammate.
"Are they both always like this?" Shisui asked.
"Pretty much" Hinata smiled.
"I pity you hinata-chan." Shisui sighed.
"Ne ne, they aren't always this bad. I mostly just lock up f-few chakra points before it escalates too much. I didn't feel like using tenketsu today s-so I just left them." Shisui laughed.
"That's one way to handle them-.."
"Shisui!? Is that you?!" Shisui was cut off by a female voice.
"You little bastard! I thought you were dead or am i seeing things!?" A jounin dressed in fishnet bodysuit with tan mini skirt & mustard trench coat made her way towards Hinata & Shisui who were sitting in the dango parlour.
"You are actually alive you sly fox..you can see him too?" The jounin asked Hinata.
Hinata giggled & nodded.
"No need to get so worked up Anko. I'm alive & you're not seeing things." Shisui smirked.
Anko took a chair & sat at their table.
"Damn you slut you look good. Guess death did you good." Anko patted his back rather harshly.
"I'm not a slut Anko, you don't look too bad yourself." Anko snorted.
"Of course, I look like a fucking goddess i know that, that's why most of the jounin can't keep their eyes off of me... anyways you've always been my favourite slut don't worry." Shisui scowled.
"I'm not a slut Anko.." shisui muttered.
"Anyways so shisui how are you alive?" Anko asked.
"Can't say, classified." Anko nodded.
"So what are you doing with this slut, Hyuga shrimp."
"We are actually waiting for my teammates & Shisui-san's cousin to find us." Hinata smiled.
"Find you? They're what? Lost-..." Anko too was cut off.
"WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU LEAVE ME ALONE WITH THAT DOBE/TEME?!" They both exclaimed.
"Yeah I get it now" Anko gave a pitiful look to Hinata & Shisui. Both boys made their way towards the trio.
"Who is she?" Naruto asked referring to Anko.
"Hey squirt I'm Mitarashi Anko, I'm here to meet my slut Shisui after so long." Anko answered cheerfully. Sasuke choked & coughed up on Hinata's hot tea which he was sneaking to take a sip, Hinata smirked & slapped his arm.
"slut?!" Sasuke asked.
"I'm not her slut or a slut in general, she just like to tease me or something." Shisui answered in a bored tone.
"Oh okay"
"So what are your name shrimps? Or do you want me to name you myself? Oh la la I like the idea hehe... You're Emo shrimp, you're idiot shrimp & you're..umm..cute shrimp." Anko nodded to herself in contentment.
"We have names we don't need you to give us stupid names with shrimps." Naruto scowled.
"Okay so tell me your real name then shrimps."
"Uzumaki Naruto,"
"Hyuga Hinata,"
"Uchiha Sasuke."
They all answered.
"Oh my, one of last Uchiha, Hyuga heiress, Uzumaki jinjuriki all three in one team. Who's your sensei squirts?"
"Hatake Kakashi" another voice cut Sasuke off who was about to answer.
"Ahh, Kakashi my other slut, did you miss me?" Anko cooed.
"No I did not miss you & no I'm not your slut." Kakashi answered bored
"Haww, Shisui look he's cheating on me! Are you also cheating on me?" Anko asked.
"That's bad, shame on him. I could never cheat in you Anko... but for that we need to have a relationship in the first place you dumb fool." Anko pouted.
"You're all weird" Sasuke voiced his thoughts.
"Not as much as your hair, duckbutt." Kakashi answered.
"You're the one to talk, Mr. Gravity Defying Silver Hair, sir." Naruto snorted defensive that someone other than him & Hinata insulted Sasuke.
"Atleast his hair doesn't scream brightly in a stealth based mission 'kill me, kill me I'm here' "Shisui snorted.
"He has natural straight spiky hair & doesn't seem to take hours to get his 'perfect unruly messy curls' to look natural." Hinata muttered.
"Says 'Miss I have a hime-cut hairstyle with two perfect side bangs faming my face is all natural'" Anko smirked.
"Well hers doesn't look like someone dumped sweet violet or grape juice on it." Sasuke scowled.
"Team spirit at it's best I see." Kakashi smirked under his mask.
"Shut up Kakashi Sensei!" The boys growled
"Anyways I'm here to inform you three that there's going to be change in your training regiment, so whenever we're not going on mission we'll train & I've asked Shisui he's too more than willing to make you work your butts off." They genins sweatdropped.
"Ahh even I want in, I mean torturing bunch of genins under the name of training so my cup of tea." Anko giggled.
"Okay we'll add you too."
"What changes will be there sensei?" Hinata asked.
"Ahh good thing you asked little one. So here's what you will do first-

"That much all day, everyday?" Kakashi nodded.
"If you want to be more skilled & stronger for the upcoming exams in 3 months you gotta do it. I'll try to just get C rank or above mission only from the hokage to not waste more of your time & focus on training more. I'll also hold a session for you guys with Gai for weight training to gain more speed, it was a request by hinata-chan so I thought it would be a great idea for all of you to do so. I asked my friend Yugaō Uzui from anbu black ops & Yugo-san also agreed to help you brats." all the genins banged their heads on the table rather harshly.
"Okay so next is Hinata.

Hinata looked conflicted between screaming in happiness for getting more training or crying for what's in store under the name of training. Kakashi chuckled at her expression & continued.
"Okay as for you Naruto-

When I ask you to follow the training regiment I expect perfection if anyone of you are late to a session except when it's an emergency of life & death you will be punish so severely that you'll wish you'd die instead. There are many people removing their precious time to train & teach you brats stuffs so make sure you don't let them down or I'll make sure you're sent back in the academy & this time it's no bluff or jokes." Kakashi said in a very serious authorative voice sending chills down their spine while releasing strong killer intent to match his words.
"Understood?" All the genins nodded rapidly
"Okay so we'll start from day after tomorrow. I'll let you all have a day to yourself to get prepared now let's order more I'm famished." Kakashi said cheerfully while everyone sweatdropped.
After they were done they began to walk out of the dango parlour.
"Where are we going?" Sasuke asked
"I don't know" Naruto replied
"How about we all go shopping to get the stuff we need for training & get prepared for it? We have enough money from the bounties & missions to last us till next 6 or more months without missions." Hinata suggested.
"I agree let's go" Naruto started to drag both his teammates.
They all spend the rest of the day shopping for weapons, wires, brushes, ninja gears, scrolls, storage bottles, herbs, cloth for headbands, etc.
When they were done it was already night fall. Hinata gave Naruto a nudge to which he yelped & looked at her. They both shared a knowing look & nodded to each other.
"Sasuke-kun, Naruto-kun do you mind if we have dinner at my place I'll cook & you guys can even stay the night. I'm sure father wouldn't mind." Hinata proposed.
"I'm in." Naruto grinned.
"...okay I don't see why not but why should we stay the night it'll be just a hassle for you more" Sasuke asked skeptically.
"It's just now when we start training & everything I don't think we'll get more time for us three to just hangout without any tension of missions, exams or training." Hinata said saddened.
"..yes you're right." Sasuke gave in after seeing the big sad doe-like white-ish lilac eyes.
They all walked towards the Hyuga mansion when hinata disappeared in the kitchen to make them dinner.
Hiashi & Hanabi made their way to the duo & exchanged greetings.
"Hi Sasuke-niisan, Naruto niisan what are you doing here?" an overexcited Hanabi asked.
"Hinata offered us to make good food & asked us to spend the night here as we have more harsh cruel training regiment starting so to spend more time before that" Hanabi nodded.
"I'm glad you three are training hard to get more strong & skillful. I expect the best from the heirs & heiress of the Uchiha, Uzumaki, Namikaze & Hyuga clan. Make sure to keep your clans name proud" Hiashi said with a relaxed expression.
"Uzumaki..? Namikaze heir..??" Naruto asked confused.
"Oh you didn't knew? Your mother was the heir of Uzugakure but soon after she was born it got caught up with second shinobi war & she was supposed to be clan head of the nation when she was of the age but the nation was no longer standing so she came over to Konoha where she was transferred of the kyubi's container after the death of Late shodaime's wife Mito Uzumaki. Nevertheless she was still a clan head that'll make you an heir & as well as for Namikaze your father was the Hokage & Clan head but Namikaze clan was killed during the Second ninja war too. So that makes you as an Namikaze Heir of a clan & the title of Yondaime's son & Heir of the nation uzugakure & Uzumaki clan, offspring of Konoha's yellow flash & Red hot habenarro." Hiashi explained while Naruto stared at him wide-eyed.
"Naruto-dobe looks like our team is made up of Heirs & Heiress only." Sasuke smirked at the revelation.
"So was the past team 7" Naruto raised an eyebrow for Hiashi to elaborate.
"You see me, Minato-baka & Mikoto were all heirs of our clan. The difference was Mikoto married Fugaku & gave him the title of clan head as she thought she wasn't the one suited for clan politics." Hiashi explained.
"I thought Tou-san was the heir & he married to kaa-san later." Sasuke said deep in thought
"Did you just called Yondaime/my dad Minato-baka?" Hanabi & Naruto asked at the same time.
"Yes I did he was a baka, after we became genin he wouldn't leave Kushina alone he was such a simp. It's either training & learning new things or Kushina only in his life." Hiashi said
"Your dad was a simp Naruto." Sasuke snickered
"You should be laughing too much Sasuke, if Minato-baka was a simp your mom was a double simp she had her eyes just for Fugaku-teme." Hiashi explained
"Did you just called Late Uchiha clan head Fugaku-san, Fugaku-teme?" Naruto asked
"Yes that's what me & Minato-baka use to call him." They all chuckled.
"You were more like a team of simps than team of heirs." Hanabi snorted in a very non-hyuga way.
"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked.
"Well my mom use to look exactly like Hinata-neesama just that she had grey eyes instead of byakugan. You cannot not imagine tou-sama not being a simp." Hanabi smirked.
They all started laughing while Hiashi was scolding Hanabi for calling him as a simp.
"You all talk I'll be back I need to go to bathroom." Naruto said.
"I'll show you the way" Hanabi answered with a knowing glance.
They both went off to show Naruto to the 'bathroom' while Sasuke & Hiashi talked about his skills his clan, family etc. Hiashi got the signal he needed from the corner of his eyes.
"Well it was nice talking to you Sasuke but I'll have to go to my office for some work I'll escort you back to Hinata's room so you don't get lost." Sasuke nodded & followed Hiashi in the maze of Hyuga mansion.
Soon they stopped in front of a dark room with no light whatsoever contrasting different from rest of the well-litted Hyuga compound. Hiashi shoved Sasuke inside while went stumbling over then suddenly the lights switched on & there was a yell of 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY SASUKE' Sasuke stared at them in shocked when he saw Hinata, Naruto, Haku, Daichi, Zabuza, Sai, Kakashi, Shisui, Anko, Hanabi, Shino, Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji, Asuma, Gai & a few Hyuga members & kids who were friendly & nice to him during his time over at Hyuga training grounds. They all had party hats & the room was filled with balloons & party decors. Naruto & his clone had a birthday banner while hinata had a birthday in her hand.
They all smiled at him waiting for a reaction. Sasuke stood their feeling content with his teammates, cousin, senseis & his friends, he felt hapoy knowing that there were people who cared about him when he lost his family. Sasuke gave them a rare big smile with unshed tears in his eyes. They all erupted in chaos & started singing a birthday song where Asuma lit the candles & hinata made her way through to him.
"Happy Birthday Sasuke-kun." Hinata smiled & handed him a knife.
After few hours everyone gave their gifts, they all had a great dinner played few games while the adults drank sake. When most of them left it was just him, Hinata, Naruto & Kakashi, The Hyuga's left too end their day.
"Why don't you open your gifts" Kakashi proposed.
Sasuke got new weapon set from Asuma, different restaurant coupons from Choji, books on toxicology intermediate series from Shikamaru, an Uchiha necklace from shisui which belonged to his mother, Senbon collection from Haku, A painting of him & team 7 by sai, nunchucks by Gai, a snake summoning contract & his to learn it coupon by anko, A crossbow by Zabuza, Scrolls of ancient rare Lightening jutsus & fire jutsus by Daichi which he got from Yugo, A dogtag by kiba, a set of new communication device by shino, a basket of fresh tomatoes by hanabi, books on toxicology advance series by Kakashi, rare poison collection from Naruto, a photoframe with picture of his mom & dad as kids & another one in which they were adults & held a baby Sasuke with them by Hinata & few other stuffs from other Hyuga's like ninja sandal, gloves, dango, perfume,etc.
When they were done with the gifts Sasuke turned towards his teammate & for the first time initiated a hug with both of them, he then pulled Kakashi in too.
"Thank you all." Sasuke said with a small smile.
"Your welcome Sasuke-teme but it was all hinata-chan's idea." Naruto said grinning.
"Yes she managed the whole party & it's planning herself." Kakashi nodded.
Sasuke turned towards smiling Hinata & hugged her again her smile never faltering away.
"We have another gift for you Sasuke-kun." Hinata muttered.
"Another?" Hinata nodded.
She went into & brought a long wooden box with delicate carvings embedded into it & handed it to him. He slowly ran his fingers through the carved wood tracing over it & slowly opened the chest.
"Wow" Sasuke breathed.
It was the sword of the legends it had structural design of a katana & wakizashi, the delicate shape of a katana with the wielding power of a wakizashi. It's sheath was made of fine, dark leather wrapped with chain made up of finest metal ever. It's hilt held an Amethyst with beads ending with a tassle, it's grip had the hand prints of the legends who wielded it. He slowly unsheathe the sword read the name engraved on it 'Kumon no hōkō' which meant roars of anguish. The metal of the sharp sword slowly changed it's color as Sasuke wielded it, it gradually changed from radiant silver to sharp crimson red. Sasuke eyed at the sword vibrated in his grip.
"It's the sword which is considered to be a legend around the world, it was wielded by your ancestor, son of Sage of Six path & Uchiha Madara himself. Legends are known for their fights with this weapon, it's name it 'kumon no hōkō' which Roars of anguish it's said that whoever opposes the sword & it's wielder are known for defeating their enemies with their crys of anguish." Kakashi explained.
"Where did you get it?" Sasuke asked mesmerized & fascinated by the sword.
"It was kept hidden under many seals under the Naka shrine of the Uchiha, after the massacre with no one to protect it the thugs & bandits sought it out & sold in the black market. It was fortune of a sold everyone wanted it but only an Uchiha or a worthy human can wield it, many died doing so. Hinata came to know about the sword in old uchiha-hyuga scrolls he got from the forbidden library. She asked me & Naruto to track it down & buy it or steal it whichever was easier for us. When we got to the auction we made the highest bid courtesy of the super Richie rich Hyuga clan & won but the auctioneer was a fraud & didn't sell it even after the bid too. So we killed him & his group of frauds then we came to knew that he was running a trafficking chain for kekkai genkkai of shinobi & sell women, so we freed them & cleaned it off. Hinata decided to make an orphanage to help the young shinobi, civilian girls & women with the Hyuga money we got back from the fraud, it's still under construction but it's named after Uzumaki -Hyuga-Uchiha clan names with a symbol with is combined of the three strongest shinobi clans. As an heiress of the strongest clan had it's perks with the money & other stuffs." Naruto explained.
"Wow, when did you do all that?" Sasuke asked.
"Uhh..about 3 weeks back we started planning the heist." Hinata answered.
"Thank you this means so much to me." Sasuke said with tears in his eyes hugging his friends & his sensei.
"It's okay we just wanted the best for you" Hinata answered wiping his tears & Naruto grinning while patting his head it reminded him of the soft touch of his mother & Itachi while Kakashi nodding his head reminded him of his stoic father.
"Sasuke-teme we're family in all but blood always remember that." Naruto said.
"Oh my god you three are so grown I feel like a proud parent. Oh my my eyes are sweating don't mind me." Kakashi exclaimed.
"You had to ruin the moment sensei." Hinata scolded they all laughed & ended their day.
•••
Team 7 with their new training regiment worked their butts off for the next 3 months all the while completing just few C- rank missions.
The trio who worked with Kakashi, Zabuza, Yugo, Anko, Yugaō, Gai, Shisui, Asuma, Hiashi (Asuma helped Naruto with wind style & Hiashi trained Hinata.) & members of team Zabuza.
Team 7 could proudly say that they've progressed more in the 3 months then they ever did during the Academy. Starting right off from the morning to late evening, hardly getting any time for themselves.
Naruto's speed & dodging skills were immaculate due to him practicing Taijutsu with his clones everyday, he started working on more complicated seals inventing different seals of his own. His Fox Sheen was more stronger & sturdier than ever, keeping most of the basic weapons & effect of medium rank jutsus to minimum. His knowledge in Fuinjutsu was a rarity to be seen after the death of many Uzumaki, Hiruzen could proudly say that his prodigal grandson would even surpass Jiraiya & Yondaime in sealing arts one day. His hand on weapons were far better now after proper teaching, he wasn't an expert in weaponry but he certainly knew how to hold his own against one. Working more on Ninjutsu with Asuma & Kakashi proved to be greatly helpful, he learned different C-rank to A-rank wind based jutsus, he still practiced one S-rank which no matter what he did couldn't get it right but it never falter him from practicing more. His skills & endurance level could make many jounins take a run for their money.
Sasuke perfected the Uchiha Fire based jutsu within no time, while still struggling with couple of S- rank lightening jutsu he mastered most of A-rank jutsu with precision and deadly accuracy which are only seen in Chunin & above. His taijutsu & speed were superior to manu chunin or low jounins. He incorporated Chakra seekers in his arsenal of weapons making them more deadly without the chakra strings, the variety of lethal poison he could create was astonishing. He even as a genin understood the beautiful art of poison & used it to his own gain, he could create poisons & antidotes faster than any poison spreading throughout the body. The way he could poison one with such precision & gracefulness fooled everyone, you wouldn't even know you've been poisoned until you take your last breath. He worked on his Snake Mantle to improve it even further that he could have minimum damage from medium to many high rank jutsu, he created a poison coated layer above his cloak so the attacker would have hardly a minute before they're paralysed in death like state. His genjutsu skills with the help of Shisui & Kakashi could even counter the strongest of genjutsu ever invented, infact the only respectful rival of Sasuke's skill in genjutsu would be his own clan's Tsukuyomi. He weilded his Kumon no hōkō with such grace it would put most of the infamous kenjutsu users to shame.
Hinata's speed & agility was a force to be reckoned with, even after finishing training she kept weight seals on, her's were much more than her teammates, while they all had 20 kg per limb, she increased her seal weight to 75 kg per limb, her speed now surpassed Haku's. She learned different type of close combat style from Yugaō which could easily throw off an Hyuga opponent, she had muscle restraint training from Gai, who drilled it in her head in a very youthful way. Working in Hyuga based jutsu with her Father while extending her byakugan range, it was around 50 km but still place for progress, Hiashi himself just had 35 km byakugan range 40 if he were desperate to risk blinding himself. Her healing Justus were much skilled than most of the Konoha's medical ninja. Her crystal & ice release were much more stronger & difficult to shatter, she used her mother's clan scroll to learn new techniques. She started studying Chakra & it's property more & more, she started to manipulate her & other's chakra & learning to change it's volume, density & charge. She could change the volume of chakra by simply absorbing it with her Twin wolf fangs,
manipulating it to change it's density so it'll act like Gravity seals, she could cut off the charge of the Chakra by simply locking up or destroying Chakra points.
Kakashi & everyone who trained them were proud of the drastic improvement they all had in matter of 3 months where it would take more than a year for average genin to improvise so much. He believed that they were truly ready for the chunnin exams, he informed the hokage of their progress & he was proud to call them shinobi of konoha.
As they all finally had a week & a half just to themselves to prepare & rest for the exams they all decided to meet up for normal warm up & random spars to keep them on their toes. Hinata made bentos for her teammates as they were done from their training. They sat in the park to eat while discussing strategies for the exams after they were done, the head out only to be followed by a square box. Naruto finally having enough of it snapped.
"That's the worst disguise of all the time." Naruto yelled there was a puff of smoke which revealed three academy kids who introduced themselves as Konohamaru squad.
"Just what I expected from my rival boss you're skilled." Konohamaru praised.
"Of course I am skilled I am a real ninja not like you playing pretend ninja." Naruto scoffed.
"Boss I know you're skilled but that doesn't mean I am not I'm your rival for Hokage. I even learned the strongest jutsu you have to compete you." Konohamaru yelled while team 7 duo & Konohamaru squad duo stared at the two bantering heads.
"My strongest jutsu?! Show me then?" Naruto asked narrowing his eyes.
"Alright I'll show you." The academy student challenged while doing the necessary handsigns, in a poof of smoke there stook a half naked lady with huge bosoms & cloud surrounding with a seductive smile.
"How's this Naruto-kun fufu?" The lady asked in a sweet tone.
"Huh you'll never grow up will you? I don't do petty transformation like yours..." Naruto said with disappointment evident on his face just as everyone thought Naruto was now mature & understood to take life in a serious way he continued after proofing in a smoke himself to reveal a blonde pigtailed naked girl with sweet voice & clouds covering the necessary parts,
"...your jutsu is weak Konohamaru-kun fufu, you'll have to do a lot better than that. You lack sexiness needed to master the jutsu." The cute naked girl scoffed.
Hinata's & Moegi's eye twitched in anger, while Sasuke & Udon stared in utter shock.
"Naruto!/ Konohamaru!" The girls gritted in anger while the last Uchiha & Algebra lover backed off. The two transformed duo noticed the killer intent & started running, Konohamaru ended the jutsu & ran faster for his life while Naruto didn't had the time to deactivate it while he started to run off giving everyone in the way a massive nosebleed.
While looking to see his pursuers Konohamaru ran into someone while landing on his butt in a yelp. Naruto ended his transformation & halted with Hinata, Moegi & Udon who were following closely behind.
A guy around their age or a year older stood in black cat costume, purple face paint with a bandaged luggage on back & a dirty blonde haired girl with 4 pigtails with a huge fan in her back. The boy gripped Konohamaru's neck lifting him of the ground with a rough grip on him choking him & thrashing him, Naruto gritted in anger trying to calm himself after Hinata gave his shoulder a squeeze.
"Huh, look at this Temari, this brat can't even free himself. Is this how all konoha shinobi skilled?" The boy scoffed.
"Leave them alone Kankuro'' the girl named Temari said.
"Oh c'mon Temari let's just mess with them." Kankuro answered.
"As if we'll let you mess with us, you catnip" Naruto scowled.
"What was that?" Kankuro asked tightening his grip on the young boy.
"Let him go he didn't ran into you on purpose." Naruto reasoned.
"But he still ran into me, that's enough for me to mess around." He smirked.
Naruto added chakra in his brass knuckles & charged towards him punching him square in the face breaking his nose. His grip on Konohamaru lost & was now clutching his nose. Temari was about to get her fan & show them off for hurting his baby brother when she felt something sharp at her throat.
"Make a move to help him, you die." Hinata said slowly, Temari was shocked to see the girl in front of her who in a blink of eye had a chakra scalpel on her throat. Temari started to struggles under her hold to pry her hands off as Hinata just poke her forearm slowly rendering it useless as it became limp.
"You little bitch what did you do to my sister!" Kankuro exclaimed.
Hinata calmly made her way to Konohamaru healing the bruise forming on his neck then turned towards kankuro. He backed off a little as she approached him, she hovered her hand over his nose as he felt the pain soothing away. She gave him a napkin to clean the blood spluttering around. Temari was furious as she was about to kick Hinata for doing something to her hands suddenly a kunai whipped around & pinned her skirt to wall. Naruto & the others whizzed their head to see Sasuke sitting on the tree swirling a kunai around with a bored expression.
"Watch your words & action next time." Sasuke glared at Kankuro & Temari.
"We don't want to fight or engage in anything else, I'm sure you must be tired from all the travel so I'd recommend you going back to your hotel. You can also take your friend who's sitting on the branch." Hinata said looking straight at the girl.
The all turned to see a redhead with no brows carrying a gourd while standing upside down on the beach above Sasuke's.
He jumped off in a second made their way towards his teammates.
"Ga-aara?" Kankuro whispered.
"You're a pain" Gaara glared hard.
"We didn't do anything, we were just walking but then these brats decided to mess with us. I was just showing them off." He answered fearfully.
"Shut up or I'll kill you." Gaara growled turning towards the konoha nins.
"I apologise for his behaviour, he's a stupid retard." Gaara muttered.
"It's okay." Hinata smiled brightly at him.
Gaara narrowed his eyes at Hinata then Temari's hands, hinata felt the need to explain.
"Oh, don't worry your hands will work as new in a few hours, I just closed off your chakra points to paralyse your hands." Hinata explained.
"How'd you know we travelled from far?" Kankuro asked timidly.
"Well you have Suna head bands, so I'm sire you're here for chunin exams. Sabakuno Gaara, Sabakuno Temari, Sabakuno Kankuro." Hinata answered.
"You know them? They're all siblings?" Naruto asked.
"Yes they're children of the Kazekage, we must treat them as our guests." Naruto nodded.
"You know awful lot about sand for a konoha nin." Temari asked suspiciously.
"Well we need to be thorough with our allies after all, knowing their names is the least of all." Hinata smiled.
"We'll be off." Naruto scowled.
"Wait a minute, tell me your name it is only fair for us to know the names of our 'allies' too " Gaara asked.
"Uzumaki Naruto,"
"Hyuga Hinata,"
"Uchiha Sasuke."
"Well we'll see you during the exams." Gaara smirked.
They walked off while Hinata sighed.
"You guys noticed it too?" Naruto asked.
Both dōujutsu users nodded.
"Notice what?" Konohamaru asked.
"Nothing squirt." Sasuke answered.
He suddenly felt a grip on his waist to see Udon clinging on him & hugging him.
"Sasuke-niisan, you're so amazing. I wanna be just like you when I become a ninja. You're the best" Udon said sniffing.
Sasuke broke a smile patting his head.
"You will be if you keep it in your mind, nothing is impossible with hardwork & practice." Udon nodded at his inspiration.
"Yeah, Sasuke-niisan might be cool, we alk know Naruto-niichan is the the best." Konohamaru countered.
"Shut up both of you, have you seen Hinata-neechan? She's the best of the three." Then they started arguing.
Team 7 chuckled & sighed leaving them to argue who's better with themselves.
They made their way to the town to get anything they'd like or need it for the next week. When they saw an old man trying peep into the bathroom on women. Suddenly another blonde woman with huge bosoms smacked him across the head.
"Stop being a pervert, Jiraiya." The woman said to Jiraiya.
"I was just seeing if they needed my help Tsunade." Tsunade scoffed at this
Hinata's eyes sparkled at the name exchanged as she ran towards the duo.
"Oh my, the legendary sanin Jiraiya & Tsunade. It's an honor to meet you both." Hinata exclaimed while bowing.
"Are they supposed to be some sort of important people?" Naruto asked confused.
"Dobe, they're legendary sanin, they use to be Third hokage's students. They're very important people because they're very strong & skilled." Sasuke face palmed.
"Ouu okay" Naruto said deep in thought.
"So you've heard about us? Haha that's good I guess." Jiraiya laughed.
"So what are your names brats?" Tsunade asked as they introduced themselves.
"Ah, Uzumaki, Hyuga, Uchiha together. What folly is sensei planning?" Tsunade snorted.
"What do you mean by that?" Naruto scowled.
" I meant that three of you could never work together or last as a team" Tsunade answered.
Suddenly the sanins felt a huge killer intent release from the genins, they froze for a second before Jiraiya smirked.
"Looks like you offended them hime." Jiraiya answered.
Before anyone could say anything an ANBU jumped in bowing.
"Hokage-sama summons your presence Jiraiya-sama, Tsunade-sama." The ANBU said while turning towards the genin team.
"You three as well." Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"Us? Now?" the ANBU nodded.
They all went towards the hokage tower while glaring at the sanins who just smirked in return.
"Jiji, why did you call us. I thought Kakashi-sensei already briefed you about our training progress." Naruto asked while making himself at home in hokage's office.
"Dobe, have some dignity" Naruto grunted but made no effort to move.
"Why'd you call us with these brats sensei?" Jiraiya asked.
"I have called you here to inform you I'll be soon retiring from my hokage position after the Chunin exams, I want you one of you two to become hokage after me." Hiruzen explained while the genins stared wide eyed.
"As much as I would want to be hokage which I can't because I have my own spy network to take care of. I'll still do anything I can to protect the village.x Jiraiya sighed.
"& You Tsunade?" Hiruzen asked.
" I was nicely on my own with Shizune when Jiraiya dragged me here because you wanted talk even though I had an idea about this but I thought you'd understand my reason to say no."
"Tsunade I get you have your reasons to say no, but if you don't accept this then you know a lot of others who just want the title of hokage for their own gains." Hiruzen reasoned.
"Yeah like Danzo-teme." Naruto muttered angrily while his teammates nodded scowling. Jiraiya & Tsunade's ears perked up at this but didn't react.
"Yes I know, I'll accept the position of hokage after your retirement." Hiruzen smiled at this.
"So you'll be like 5th Hokage?" Naruto asked while Tsunade nodded.
"Damn 5th's already taken now I need to aim for 6th." Naruto said with determination.
"Don't worry dobe we'll help you get the 6th hokage's title." Sasuke smirked which Hinata nodded in agreement smiling.
Naruto grinned at his teammates muttering a thanks.
"As for you three, I called you here to introduce you to my former students, Jiraiya & Tsunade Senju." Hiruzen introduced.
"Wait.. Tsunade Senju?! Senju as in the one Kakashi Sensei said while evaluating Hinata's skill?" Naruto asked to which Sasuke nodded.
"You trained Yondaime, didn't you?x Sasuke asked Jiraiya who nodded.
"Damn, you trained dad." Naruto said.
"So you two see Naruto has great potential in Fuinjutsu therefore I wanted to ask that will you train Naruto?" Hiruzen asked Jiraiya.
"I'll think about it but what's his skill level in the arts." Jiraiya asked.
"Well because of the lack of teacher he learned everything on his own from sealing books we have, even without practical knowledge he is good at what he does & even invented few complicated seals himself." Jiraiya nodded while Naruto smiled at Sandaime for praising him.
"What's the one you invented?" Jiraiya asked.
"Well the first one is Chakra absorbing & teleport it's like I have two seals place on different places if I send to chakra through one the chakra can be received to the other, then I created a seal to attract any of the jutsu laced with my chakra to aim on the seal itself so they won't have time to Dodge. The other one is for Sasuke-teme, because fire based jutsu & lightening
based jutsu have more handsigns the enemy gets more time to Dodge it so I created one to specially attract fire & lightening jutsus only regardless if they Dodge it first. Then I am still working on Hinata-chan's clan 'Caged bird seal' & to find an alternative to protect byakugan but stop the slavery which the seal causes." Naruto answered.
"That's something for a squirt. Good work. I'll train you in fuinjutsu & other stuff too, Kushina will murder me if I said no anyway." Jiraiya chuckled.
"You're working on how to remove Hyuga seal? They will take it as a threat to clan they knew." Tsunade asked.
"He was doing it on my request Tsunade-sama, I want to free the dividend in families & unit them as one family. If he's able to get an alternative it'll be on every Hyuga regardless their status & cannot be used by main branch to terrorize the branch family. If it works I'll be the first to get sealed." Hinata explained.
"You've got guts, kid being the heiress & doing the work which'll definitely cause chaos among the elders." Tsunade smirked.
"Yes we have a wonderful bunch this time." Jiraiya raised an eyebrow
"You see Tsunade, Hinata-chan's chakra control & medical Ninjutsu might've supassed yours when you were chunin or low jounin. Her mother's crystal release with Hyuga techniques & byakugan makes her deadly in battle, she might have smaller reserves but she has multiple chakra absorbing jutsus to help her." Hiruzen answered.
Hinata smiled while Naruto & Sasuke had a proud teammate moment & almost crying.
"Sasuke-kun is too on par with his skills as his teammates, his knowledge in genjutsu & art of poison makes him the sneaky one of three but just as deadly, his kenjutsu is as good as Kakashi's. His management of Weaponry by adding chakra strings & chakra seekers is truly a force to be reckoned with. His taijutsu could counter a hyuga himself, his Arsenal has deadliest lightening & fire jutsus." Sasuke smirked.
"That's good to know these brats are capable of something but I'd like to see their skills in the chunin exams." Jiraiya smirked while Tsunade nodded.
"We'll just have to show you then" Sasuke smirked with his teammates
