You know death, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Everyone always bemoans about it not being their time, and what not in movies and shit but, I couldn't really complain. Other than the fact that I died on my birthday and I was still single, I died protecting one of my friends, even took the bastard with me.
I guess I should explain. I was out with a couple friends, one of them wanted to throw me this huge party at a club but we managed to convince him I'd have more fun at a small party at a bar. That is all beside the point though, I died on the way home. I was always kind of a lightweight when it came to alcohol, so I hadn't drank much. As we were leaving the bar a man in ragged clothes tried to rob us with a knife.
My friends as much as I love them are pampered rich kids, they froze. They had no clue what to do so the guy started getting impatient, he went to try to force my friend Chris to pay up or else when i acted. I grabbed his wrist and twisted it around, burying the knife in between his ribs.
Unfortunately his elbow slammed into my nose and I stumbled backwards into traffic, I was hit by a passing truck, it clipped my right shoulder and flung me around with enough force that when my body collided with the telephone pole beside me my rib cage collapsed. I'm pretty sure a couple of my broken ribs punctured my lungs, as I lay there breathing my last as my friends panicked calling for help. I looked over just in time to see the life fading out of the would be muggers eyes.
I knew I wouldn't make it, so with what little breath I had left I asked my friends, Chris and Connor for one last favor. "Tell my family… I'm sorry, and that I love them." And then the world became void. I saw nothing, I felt nothing, I heard nothing… until I didn't. And that leads us to my current predicament.
Please select a Gender
Male or Female
I just, well I could totally believe what was happening but I just don't understand why. Well I suppose I shouldn't postpone the bull shit. I am a dude, so I press male. And what I wasn't expecting was for another screen of whatever this was to appear asking me to input where I would like to be reborn. But I don't even know what the hell is going on.
Would you like to access the tutorial?
Yes or no
Seeing no harm in it I decide to use it. Pressing yes causes multiple screens to appear in the pitch black expanse.
Thank you for accessing the tutorial of The Game, as you know from your life reading several fan fictions regarding this ability, as well as lightly researching the subject on your own time. It is a power bequeathed by the divine, well mostly by the divine. You do not know who I am and it is of little consequences at the moment.
I will be sending you to a world that, well too put it simply is one of your favorites of all time. Naruto the world of shinobi, precisely 3 years before the kyuubi attacks. So now the question stands, which village would you like to live in?
Konohagakure no sato
Kirigakure no sato
Kumogakure no sato
Iwagakure no sato
Sunagakure no sato
? I have so many questions, but I could contain them and ask them later when I'm in a more clear state of mind. Part of me wanted to go to Kiri since it is where a couple of my favorite items are in the series but given the whole bloodline purges that wouldn't be the greatest plan. So putting all that aside I go to the safest place for me to be with all this going on.
You have selected Konohagakure no sato. Are you certain about your selection?
Yes or No
Pressing yes I had simply assumed that would be the end of it but no, yet another screen appears before me, this one with a list of clans.
Please select your clan heritage or lack thereof before proceeding.
Uchiha- gain the ability to unlock the various stages of the sharingan, a doujutsu capable of learning ninjutsu by seeing it. Can not copy kekkei genkai jutsu.
Hyuuga- gain the byakugan, capable of seeing through all solid objects as well as the innards of the human body. Grants unique 359 degree sight.
Inuzuka- gain a unique beast style taijutsu as well as a nin hound partner to fight alongside you. Improves the teamwork stat at beginning levels.
Aburame- gain a hive of parasitic chakra devouring bugs. Learn unique bug styled ninjutsu, decrease social interactions by 50%
Nara- lazy geniuses with unique shadow style ninjutsu. Increase gains in mental stats by 50% decrease gains in physical stats by 50%
Yamanaka- gain the mindwalker trait, which allows access to the yamanaka's unique mind based jutsu. Allows for faster development of mindscape and all related features.
Akimichi- a clan of loyal folk who have unique body manipulation jutsu. Increase gain in physical stats by 100% must eat excessive amounts of calories or suffer debilitating debuffs.
Uzumaki- gain extra hp and cp as well as a bonus 100% exp toward any fuinjutsu skill. Though you excel as a shinobi you distinctly lack in a social environment, any reputation you gain or lose is doubled.
Civilian- while they aren't very powerful where chakra is concerned, civilians do happen to have a way with money and increased drop rates for rare items.
Mysterious past- no one knows who your parents were or even where they lived before you wound up at the village gate all those years ago. Extra 100% exp and skill increases, but your past will come back and when it does you must be ready.
Blinking at all the information in front of me I couldn't help but sigh, the mysterious past was clearly the best benefit short term but it was a trap plain and simple, so moving on from that I was torn between two… and it probably wasn't the two anyone was expecting. I found myself torn between the Nara and the Inuzuka clans, I was always told I was smart but I knew that I was by no means a genius and their jutsu are amazing as well as useful. But I am at heart a pack animal, I am a wolf as a couple of my friends have often pointed out, and I always kinda liked the idea of a ninja hound partner.
Would you like to combine two heritages at the cost of a random flaw?
Yes or No
I couldn't… I couldn't believe it. The game was willing to adapt for me, give me the chance to really recreate myself in this new world. Of course I jumped on the opportunity. Pressing yes so hard I think I broke my finger.
Please enter which heritages you would like to combine.
I tremble in excitement, this was going to be a game changer. Pun totally intended, typing in my chosen clans I hear a faint chime.
You have decided to combine the Nara and Inuzuka bloodlines. Are you certain this is the choice you would like to make. (Note- once you select this option there will be no way to change it)
Yes or No
With no hesitation I hit yes and was greeted with a new popup.
Thank you for completing the character customization, before I send you on your way there is some information I feel will be necessary. First you are an academy student who has just begun their second year of academy. Second in three years time the night of the kyuubi's rampage will happen unless you find a way to stop it. And lastly if you die again, that is it game over. There are no save files, no reloading if your hp hits 0 you die end of story. This is your second chance, do with it what you will.
You will awaken in three minutes. I would suggest you take this time to familiarize yourself with the various menus and screens of the game system. Goodbye for now gamer.
Blinking I see a clock in my peripheral vision counting down. Well I can see where this is going.

While I was honestly surprised I was starting out so good I crushed the naive sense of hope that swelled within me, any game that starts you off relatively strong will suck ass late game. Bringing my attention to the Flaws on my sheet, one of them was all question marks so i was assuming i wouldn't find out about it till later, that would be safe to assume that it was the random Flaw given to me by the system, the others seem to be well basically straight forward even though i know they aren't. I could guess at what [Overly emotional] and [Short attention span] did but it was always safest to see if you could get the most accurate information possible.
As I looked around the screen in front of me for possibly an info tab or something of the sort causes another of those infernal Dinging noises to go off throughout the expanse.
Congratulations you have successfully created your first skill based on repeated actions.
Skill created- [Observe] active- Lvl 1
Allows the gamer to gain information from only the smallest glances, as Observe level increases the amount of information gained, and the detail within, increases as well.
See the basic stat pages of anyone as long as they are not 40 levels higher than your own
Allows the gamer to see the detailed information of items, traits, and flaws.
Can be used to see the subject of a book or a scroll without having to touch it to find out.
My eyes widen, that was quite different than the [Observe] i was used to seeing in stories, it is more than likely retooled to fit better with the world i am going into by the entity that gave me this power. Wasting no more time i look at my flaws and use [Observe] on all of them…. Needless to say, I hate this bastard.
Overly Emotional- Flaw- You wear your heart on your sleeve and everyone knows it, makes it easier for you to fall victim to [Taunts] but also allows you to connect to people easier who can see the real reason behind all of it. (can be removed over time with minor difficulty.)
Short Attention Span- Flaw- Due to being raised by two accomplished shinobi has led to you becoming used to the "intense" training your parents have put you through, this flaw makes it twice as difficult to sit still and pay attention in classroom and meeting situations. (can be removed over time with difficulty.)
Thick Skulled- Flaw- While being stubborn isn't a bad thing in and of itself you take it to the extreme, once you have something set in your mind not even the combined might of your family can change it without a fight. (can be removed over time with major difficulty.)
? revealed to be Extreme Pervert- Flaw- You are on the path to becoming the next super pervert. You are enchanted by the feminine species, Increases the effectiveness of [Seduction] skills used against you by 75% (Can be reduced to Pervert and MIldly Perverted after years of hard work finally removed, but be warned can easily become Super Pervert as it is simply easier to keep digging than it is too begin climbing.)
"Fuck you too Game. I mean I will be the first to admit that I admire the female form. I never went out of my way to stare at or even peep on women." Sighing in defeat as it seems that I will suffer much at the hands of Kunoichi in the years to come. "Great well i suppose that is everything i need to do huh." As soon as I finish asking myself that question the timer in the corner hits 0 and the loudest most obnoxious alarm begins blaring as I fall out of a bed and land on solid ground.
Groaning i roll over and chuck a scroll that was on what i can only assume is my new bedroom floor at the cursed alarm clock, i was rewarded with the alarm turning off as a set of feet appear before me, "Glad to see you are awake now Juso, come on your mother should nearly be finished with breakfast." My father's voice was like the sound of wheels traveling down an old country road, just scratch and gravel. Like damn, if he didn't sound so lazy that would be intimidating, shaking my head. I rise to stand and find that I am a little taller than the average 7 year old. Huh that is a bit different for me, i had been short for most my life til around the time i turned 10, then i went through growth spurt after growth spurt, smiling ruefully as i remember how i acted as a child, i make a solemn vow not to let my soon to be coming teenage angst get anywhere near that bad.
Chuckling to myself as I got dressed in a simple pair of grey cargo pants and a black tee-shirt that had the Konoha symbol on the front in gold. Looking in the mirror I see that the blue eyes I had back in my first life are still prominent though slightly duller… almost Steel blue, as opposed to the ice blue I was used to. Thankfully my hair was still brown though darker than I was used to, with the red fang like marking on my face. I certainly looked like an Inuzuka, but if anyone was to look closer they would see the Nara plainly visible in my face. The way that no matter how I contorted my face I still looked apathetic at best, oh well I was still an intimidating figure… or at least I would be in the future. Backing away from the mirror i leave my room and walk lazily down the stairs, from the way my parents react this was a common occurrence, luckily for me it was the weekend so i didn't really have to go out into the village which means i can take some time getting used to everything before rushing head first into everything.
For making a logical decision about the path you are set to walk you have gained 2 Wis and 1 Int.
Casually dismissing the window with a thought actually causes me to raise an eyebrow, the window went away when i wanted it too with just my mind… does that mean i can think my actions and not have to say them. Worth a try.
"Status" and I was rewarded with a small window popping up to the side of my vision with my stat page, as well as another point in Wis. Then I blink as I sit down…. I had unspent points, 20 of them, did i miss those earlier or had they just shown up. Fuck it i am not looking a gift horse in the mouth. After dispensing those points where i feel i need them most currently my page looks more like this.

Turns out you can't increase Luck with stat points so I put 10 in Vit, and then split the other 10 between Dex and Wis, which had an immediate effect on my HP as well as my Control. I could only assume that my HP was directly correlated to my Vit as my Control appears to be with my Wis. Looking over at my parents as they eat, absentmindedly shoveling food from my plate to my mouth, I ask my Parents what is on the agenda for the day.
"Tou-san, Kaa-san, what are we doing today? Am I studying more of the family techniques or am I just brushing up on what I know?" looking over at them expectantly i notice their names and titles for the first time, even as i suppress the sigh at the fact that they are both level ?
Kensai Nara LV ?
[Blade of the Shadow]
Shinzo Inuzuka LV ?
[The Titaness Wolf]
Oooook I kinda guessed that my parents weren't married seeing as in the memories floating around in my mind that was one of the things a lot of Civilian born Academy kids loved teasing me about. But damn those titles sound frightening, good thing they love me, i would not want to piss one of them off. They both look at each other and from the fact that i'm sure an entire conversation took place in the three seconds they looked in each other's eyes that they did in fact love each other.
"Well unfortunately son i have to head out for a mission. I'll be gone for a couple months at most, but that is no excuse for you not to train so. This scroll has the next jutsu i want you to learn, you got [Shadow Possession] down pretty well, this is the next step, if you get it done before i come home i'll give you a special gift. Sound good?" my father looks at me with a lazy yet somehow mischievous glint in his eye.
"You bet, I'll have this down in no time." I look over and grin, the same way I always had my whole life and apparently this life too, weird i guess since I am Juso some of my mannerism as Jay carried over.
Quest alert- Training Training and more Training
Your father is going to be gone for the next few months on a mission, he has given you a scroll with the [Shadow Strangle] skill in it. Guess what that means… More Training whoopee. And that is just the tip of this iceberg baby.
Objective- Learn the [Shadow Strangle Jutsu] before your father returns from his mission.
Bonus Objective- Reach level 10 with the [Shadow Strangle Jutsu] before your father returns form his mission.
Bonus Objective 2- ?
Reward- 500 EXP, +500 rep with Kensai Nara, +1000 ryo, random C-rank item
Bonus Reward- +2000 ryo, +500 rep with Kensai Nara, +500 rep with Shinzo Inuzuka, Chakra Paper
Bonus Reward 2- +25000 EXP, +1000 rep with Konoha Shinobi Forces, +100 rep with ?, random Jutsu scroll
Failure- +100 EXP, Random E-rank Jutsu
Do you accept?
Yes or No
Accepting as soon as possible because i was probably going to start training myself as soon as breakfast was over and i had examined every skill that i already knew, i had been stupid too assume that i was starting blank. I had two shinobi for parents of course they had started teaching me things early, hell it is part of my motivation to get better. Even right now I can feel the urge to master the technique in front of me to make my mother and father proud.
"Learning it will have to wait for a bit dear, yes I can see the look in your eyes. Don't you remember what today is? You are just like your father, sometimes I swear, we are going to the Inuzuka compound to see if you will bond with one of the nin hounds. It's tradition to do this on your 7th birthday but your aunt and uncle were kind enough to wait because you had gotten so sick." my mother explains while looking both loving and exasperated at the same time somehow.
Quest alert- Man's best friend
Go with your mother to find the partner for you. Inuzuka's have a long standing tradition of bonding with nin hounds at the age of 7 which lucky you, you are, so go forth and get your partner.
Objective- Go to the Inuzuka compound and bond with one of the hounds.
Reward- A life long Partner
Failure- You don't get a doggie
Do you Accept?
Yes or No
For whatever reason the no option was greyed out, so accepting because I have no other choice, my thoughts linger on the failure option…. I don't get a doggie, So i wouldn't get a nin hound, it doesn't say that i won't get a partner. So does that mean that if i fail something else may come along.
For figuring out something using deductive reasoning and your natural eidetic memory you have gain +2 Wis and +5 Lck.
Well I'll be damned, so this quest isn't heart breaking, either i find the nin hound i was meant to bond with or i don't and later i'll find a different partner. Though if i don't bond with one i will have too feign hurt which shouldn't be too hard i mean of course i'll be upset if one of the hounds doesn't bond with me they are freaking awesome.
I look over at my mother and apologise for forgetting, promising that I'll try not to do it again. "So i'll be going and getting my partner today then learning this new jutsu and getting it down well and solid for the next couple months probably, anything else besides that?" To this question both of my parents shake their heads with matching grins on their faces, they always wear them when i say something they find amusing.
Wait how do i know that i just woke up here, man the memories of what happened before i took over are trickling through and well they feel more like my actual memories now that my… what was i saying? Oh yeah, it feels like my old memories are just a dream now, and well, i guess in a way they are. Only some of them will apply anyway, because i mean of course i'm going to try and stop Obito from getting his hands on the fox… but only Naruto can befriend Kurama, heck Kushina never even tried to befriend him. Shit, it has to be Naruto, well if that is the case then maybe just maybe i can find a way to cheat the game. I got 3 years to figure out a way to help Minato and Kushina survive while also still sealing the Kyuubi in Naruto. Fuck.
Priority Quest alert- Save the Date
You plan on Saving the lives of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze on the fateful night where Kurama gets sealed within Naruto Uzumaki. To do this will require you to fight against Fate itself in order to achieve the impossible.
Objective 1- Ensure that Kurama get sealed properly within Naruto Uzumaki
Objective 2- Save Kushina Uzumaki from certain death by any means necessary
Objective 3- Defeat the Shinigami in order to allow Minato to survive the use of the [Reaper Death Seal]
Bonus Objective 1- ?
Bonus Objective 2- ?
Bonus Objective 3- ?
Reward 1- +500 rep with Naruto Uzumaki, 50,000 EXP, [Sexy Jutsu] scroll
Reward 2- +1000 rep with Kushina Uzumaki, +5000 rep with Naruto Uzumaki, 100,000 EXP, S-rank Jutsu scroll
Reward 3- +1000 rep with Minato Namikaze +5000 rep with Naruto Uzumaki, 1,000,000 EXP, S-rank Jutsu scroll
Bonus Reward 1- ?
Bonus Reward 2- ?
Bonus Reward 3- ?
Failure- Naruto Uzumaki lives his life as a hated and feared Jinchuriki, oh and you die
Do you accept?
Yes or No
As if i would allow the same bull shit to happen as in the anime, i can figure out some way to do it. Just means that I have to learn Medical Ninjutsu or bring Tsunade back before the date of birth. Accepting the quest that I would have done even if the Game never officially made it one, though I have to admit all those rewards do sound amazing. With just a flex of my mind I close all the windows in my peripheral. I finish eating and look at my mom excitedly, "ready when you are mom."
She chuckles before standing up, "well help me clean up and we'll go after everything is taken care of. Say goodbye to your Father he is leaving right after this." With that said she walks into the kitchen with a handful of dishes, without hesitation I dash over and give my father a hug.
"Be safe dad, and kick butt. I'll make sure no one messes with us while your gone, and I'll totally have that jutsu mastered before you know. All my other ones too." I grin at him before grabbing my used plate as well as his and dashing into the kitchen to help mom clean up. Washing the dishes was a quick endeavor and before I knew it we had finished, walking to the front of the house where our shoes were located I noticed something odd. While there were two pairs of shinobi styled sandals for my mom and dad, what was next to them could only be described as boots. They had the same basic design as the sandals themselves but the toes were no longer exposed and they came up too about mid calf on me.
Laying against the wall was my mother's ninja hound, Yaseiko. He was a large hound with a red brown fur coat, and intelligent green eyes. He wore a konoha headband around his neck like a collar proudly displaying his village. I knew from my memories that while he was gruff and answered in short sentences he was kind and caring. Strapping on my boots I reach over and scratch Yaseiko between the ears, rising I look at my mom and smile, whether I get a nin hound or I don't, I was still going to be a ninja my parents can be proud of.
We walk through the door together and begin heading down the road, looking around I see that we don't live too far from the hokage tower. Neat, that means that we are close to the main road of the village meaning i can get anywhere relatively easily. It doesn't take us long to reach the Inuzuka compound and well i could hear the hounds from about a block away, must mean not many civilians like living around here. Waving as we pass by a couple clan members watching the gate, mom leads into the compound heading for my aunt's house.
"Hey there you are sis, glad you brought your pup by. How you feeling bud you were down and out for quite a bit, had me and Tsume worried. We want Hana to have a kickass big bro to look up to, you up to that?" My uncle Kiza comes walking out of his house, with his hound by his side, Akuja was a pure white hound with a black star like pattern over his left eye. Walking over and patting Akuja on his head I look up at my uncle and smile. I knew that in the show and manga, Tsume scares off her husband with her attitude but from the memories that I have floating around in my head Kiza isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
"I'll do my best uncle Kiza, but first I have to become a kickass ninja so I can keep my family safe. And step one of that comes today, so how do we do this?" tilting my head slightly to look at both my uncle and my mom hoping to get this over and done with so I can start on my quest and begin planning for the eventual shit storm.
"Well we don't really gotta do much, follow me the pups are this way. Go in there and let them sniff on you, you have to gain their trust. Once that happens you should feel some kind of connection that is how you know that the bonding process worked. Don't feel let down if one doesn't choose you. There have been many Inuzuka who don't get a partner until later in their lives, myself included." My uncle pats my head reassuringly, and in truth it does help settle my nerves somewhat. They led me into a building off to the side. I suppose it was essentially a kennel, inside all i could hear was the barking and yipping of excited puppies. With a grin nearly splitting my face in two I rush forward into the crowd of pups all over the floor, they were all different colors and all varying sizes.
As I stood in the middle of a ring of pups I knelt to the ground and well, nearly all of them came up to sniff me, some began rubbing their heads into my hands after just a couple minutes. As all this was happening my eyes were scanning the massive mountain of fluff surrounding me and I saw that one pup was trying so hard to come closer but she was so much smaller than the others. They weren't trying to exclude her but the sheer difference in size was making it impossible for her to get near me in all the excitement. Crawling along the ground the pups around me move but keep close to me, I gently move the ones that are in front of her and bend down to look at her. A small ash grey puppy stares back at me with her golden eyes, "Hi there, my name is Juso." I place my hand out for her to sniff, shortly after she tries to nuzzle my hand only for one of the other pups to shove her out of the way and attempt to nuzzle my hand instead. I jerk my hand away and in a swift motion scoop up the tiny grey pup that i now see is clearly the runt of the litter, "Don't worry i'll always have your back, that's a promise. So what do you say, partners?" the enthusiastic barks and licks all along my face seemed like a pretty positive sign.
Would you like to make this ninja hound your Familiar?
Note- Familiars gain Exp and Skills as you train and complete quests. You can only have three Familiars at any given time so if you want to gain another you must get rid of one of your previous ones.
Yes or No?
With no hesitation I accept and quickly turn around and smile at my mother, "Mom i did it, she likes me. What do i do now?" My mom smirks down at me and ruffles my hair, "Name her." Was her simple response.
Please enter the Name of your chosen Familiar.
Nozomu "Nozomu"
I speak at the same time that I enter the name in the system with my thoughts. My mom and uncle both smile at the name I had chosen and begin to walk away. Though as I follow my mind was focused on the stats sheet in front of me that my new Partner was also staring at. Looking down at her in my arms, "don't worry i'll explain later." I reassured her using the game system which just made her look directly into my eyes, and given that my voice just rang out in her mind she must be confused…. But then I was in for a shock, "We can speak without the noise? I trust you Juso, I will wait for answers but I don't understand what is happening." I nod and then play with her ears as I smile down at her.

I was knocked from reading the screens in front of me by my mother who clunked me on the back of my noggin. "Are you listening to me Juso?" she asked slowly in a very dangerous tone of voice.
Gulping i decide that it would be safer to not directly lie and merely admit that i had not been, "No mom, sorry i wasn't paying attention. I promise i'll try not to do it again." Finishing i flash her what i hope is an innocent smile, but knowing my luck it looks like a shit eating grin.
She merely sighs and shakes her head before saying, "Alright whatever run along, play with Nozomu or train whatever just be sure you are back inside and cleaned up by dinner time." I snap off a sarcastic salute with a classic 'yes ma'am' thrown in for good measure before running off laughing with Nozomu still in place on my head.
First things first to explain this whole situation to her, and then begin training. Man this was gonna suck.
Two weeks later
Two solid weeks of busting my ass off and for what a single damn level, at least I got [Shadow Strangle] up to level 9, only a single level left before the first bonus objective was complete. Though i find it odd that the second one is still in question marks…. After I brainstormed a game plan for that night, one of the bonus objectives for my [Save the Date] quest changed, what was once just question marks became [Discover a way to hold down the Kyuubi more securely].
Oh well I'm sure I'll figure it out, walking out of a little barbeque shop with Nozomu on my head panting contentedly from the meal we just had. My mind wanders to the training she and I have been going through… I now have no doubts within my mind that my mother is probably in the top three med nin in the world, and she is definitely one of the strongest Kunoichi that Konoha has to offer currently.
Though my thoughts turned out to be my downfall as I failed to keep my eyes on my surroundings. I felt a strong arm wrap around my neck and lock in tight as suddenly I was lifted ever so slightly off the ground and used as a human shield as 4 Anbu landed in a circle around us. I hear Nozomu start to growl but i just hold out my hand and she keeps from leaping forward. I am so glad that the bond between us has only grown stronger the longer we have been partners.
"Right you fucking trrehuggers, here is what's gonna happen. You are gonna let me leave. I am going to back up to the gate behind me slowly. Once I have crossed the threshold I will release the kid. Do you understand that you statuesque masked freaks?" the man behind me rambles on. His hold on me is tight and I know that the moment I try to make hand signs he would bury a kunai in my neck, but the Nara family techniques don't actually require hand signs… in fact no Jutsu really does they just help mold chakra. I just hope this idiot isn't a sensor.
Slowly building chakra to flow through my body and down to the soles of my feet is hard, honestly i don't think i would have had the time to do it if this idiot wasn't in a weird mexican standoff with the Anbu. Just as my chakra reaches my feet I grin, as the idiot behind me stiffens. I don't have to stretch my shadow if it's already inside someone's, "[Shadow Possession] complete." I hold my arms straight out even as the motion is perfectly mimicked by the Asshat behind me, I force open both my hands making him drop what looks like a broken spoon… he held me hostage with a spoon. Whatever taking slow and deliberate steps towards the Anbu I couldn't keep the smile off my face.
" How the intel said that only Nara's could use this jutsu, you... you're an Inuzuka though. You have a Nin Hound, how could you use that Jutsu?" the man was damn near belligerent when suddenly a figure dropped down in front of him and holy shit was he pissed.
The deep gravel like voice of my father rang out loud as day, "Because that is my son. And you are going to die now." thinking quickly mostly so my father wouldn't kill a potential source of intel.
"Oh dad check it out, I learned it, though I am far from mastering it." bringing my hands together as the enemy continues to mimic me, shadows begin crawling up his legs, wrapping around his torso. The man's breathing becomes rapid believing that a meer brat was going to kill him. Halting the shadow hands at his upper torso, I grin at my dad and wink, "So big bad shinobi… Who sent you? What were you doing running from Anbu?"
"What makes you think someone sent me? For all you know I could be turning into a Missing Nin."
"Doubtful, someone who lived here and served here wouldn't call any of our shinobi force Treehuggers that is a foreign slur for Konoha ninja. Also if you were from here you would have known that even if you made it to the gate you were a dead man." i say as my grin gets even bigger, this is perfect. They are here, I can just make out their hair in the crowd.
"Oh yeah Brat and why is that?"
"Well there are two very strong individuals that abhorre kidnapping and hostage situations… well not counting my parents. Their names are Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, and they are damn powerful. Oh that second name got a reaction out of you… you heard of him, or was he the reason you were in the village? So what are you a spy or a failed assassin?" as i plant the seeds i know it worked i hear a hitch in his breathing just as a feminine voice in the crowd growls out the word 'Assassin'.
Stomping through the crowd with a hand on her katana marches the fiery red-head herself, Kushina. "So big boy thinks he can come into Konoha and kill one of my comrades let alone my boyfriend and get away with it?" At this point I have to start pumping more chakra into my Jutsu to keep up with the asshole as he struggles like death itself was in front of him which I guess in a way it was.
Retracting the hand like constructs down from his chest, I lower them down and wrap them firmly around a certain point in his anatomy, "Keep struggling and you lose what makes you a man." My voice was hollow and apathetic, simply stating a fact. The man freezes in fear, his eyes are probably searching for some way to escape, his jaw tries to tighten only for a man's hand to grasp it and force it open. Minato tears out the cyanide capsule he had been about to crush spelling his quick demise. Now that he was in the hands of Minato, arguably the strongest shinobi, we have currently. I released him from my Jutsu.

Grinning over at my Dad I notice that he is eyeing me kinda strange, well shit he is a Nara probably saw me staring off into space for a while and thinks it's odd behaviour and now i'll have to tell him and mom about my powers. FUCK ME. I should have seen this coming, I walked up to him with a smile on my face as I bent down and grab Nozomu off the ground, just then her voice appeared in my mind, "Do not worry, your pack is strong and kind they will not leave you. Trust them."
"Dad we need to talk."
