Chapter Two
Six years have passed, Shisui trained by Zetsu was close to being Jonin level. Being their assassin when the Akatsuki needed someone dead, yet could not get involved. As for Wasure, he was an interesting case for Obito and Zetsu. He would seem to be able to control chakra easier than his brother, when tested he had an affinity to fire and wind. By age four he had a great fireball technique. As for Argos, the pup was not an immediate gift, if a wolf cub showed up out of nowhere there would be tons of questions. Argos was discovered by Wasure while training his fireball jutsu. He would then spend two hours to convince Obito to allow him to keep him. He would on one condition, Wasure commits to awaking his sharingan by age six. For that, Wasure would train nonstop, he would work on fireballs, he would work on shurikenjutsu thanks to scrolls Obito "barrowed" from the Uchiha archives. While he was not a master he had a start. Now Wasure was six years old, for the past months he had a dream of him standing in front a giant cage and just saw nothing but the breath of a large animal. It would end there, he never understood it. But he more important things to worry about, he was six now. It was time for him to awaken his sharingan, he knew it could be from combat or emotional stress. He just wondered how it would work for him.
"Wasure!"
Zetsu yelled the boy's name in an effort for him to come down from his room.
"Coming!" Wasure put on his blue jacket as he ran out of his room, as he did Shisui was coming out of his room as well. He was putting on his Akatsuki coat, he became an official member today.
"Hey bro." Wasure had idolized him, he knew him as a great big brother. Not the Akatsuki's secret assassin.
"Good morning Wasure." Shisui waved at his brother ran by.
"Wasure!" Black yelled the boy's the name again, as he did Wasure appeared.
"Hey Zetsu." Said the smiling Wasure.
"Good morning Wasure." Replied White.
"Morning." Replied Black.
Wasure was pumped for today, he was ready to prove himself.
"So where is Obito?" Wasure knew he would be back overnight from a meeting for the Akatsuki.
"He is in the training room, he is waiting for you." Replied White.
"Okay, hey where is Argos?" Wasure usually had the wolf sleep with him. Argos was bigger than a pup but was more in a middle stage growth wise. He was gone when Wasure woke up.
"He is off hunting, he's been like this for awhile now you should know this." White was right, Argos has been acting more like a wolf lately.
"Okay, well wish me luck." Wasure ran off to the training room, when he arrived he saw Obito. He was in his Akatsuki coat, he was in his Tobi persona.
"Ah, Wasure. Today is the day, are you ready?" Obito was smiling under his orange mask. He was happy for Wasure, he had been training hard the past year. Now was when Uchiha boy's become men, Obito got in a readied stance.
"Yep, are you Obito?" Wasure was ready for this, he had a move he wanted to show Obito for awhile now.
"Yes, now make the first move." Replied Obito.
"All right then." Wasure started a dead sprint to Obito, moving his hand for the fireball jutsu.
"Fire Style Fireball Jutsu!" Wasure channeled the fire through his throat creating the great fireball. Launching it at Obito, Obito was impressed the fire ball was under control. The form was great, he just needs time to create variants off it. Obito dodged it just to see Wasure have shuriken in his hands. He saw three in total, when he threw them he performed hand signs for a wind jutsu? Obito was caught off guard, pockets of concentrated wind wrapped around the shuriken. As Obito thought of just using Kamui to dodge them. He saw Wasure grin as he held some powder in his hand.
"Got ya." What did he mean by that? Obito took another look at the shuriken and noticed black powder in the wind pockets.
"Fire Style Blazing Shuriken!" Wasure threw a fourth shuriken on fire, using wind to give it a speed boost. It caught up to the other three and ignited the other three making three small fire balls.
"What!" So, he can use gun powder huh. Good to know, he is improving. Sadly, Obito kamuied away just land behind him. When he went land a hit, Wasure dodged with and threw two more shuriken. One cut up the coat Obito had and the other left a small cut to this hand.
"Well done Wasure, now it's my turn." Obito activated his regular sharingan. He grabbed his katana, unsheathing it Obito looked at Wasure to see he went to a defensive stance with Kunai in hand. Obito laughed a little inside, he must have ten kunai with him. He really did prepare for today. Obito lunged at Wasure, Wasure now had to parry back with his kunai. Pushing back each blow from the katana, Wasure then had an idea. He could channel wind chakra in his hand like the air bomb jutsu in the last Uchiha scroll he read. Then ignite it with fire and gun powder! He just needed an opening, he would step back and back deflecting the blows. He waited and kept waiting for an opening, he finally saw on where Obito reared back for a swing. Wasure then quickly channeled as much wind chakra as he could into a condensed ball. The scroll mentioned it looked like a move made by the Sannin Jiraiya. He couldn't remember its name.
"Air Bomb!" Wasure looked at his hand felt the wind in his hand it's force. He raised his hand landing the blow to Obito, when the ball hit Obito a force of wind so great was released. That it sent both of them flying back into the opposite sides of the room. Obito kamuied to land safely, as for Wasure he went into the wall.
"Wasure!" Obito sprinted to check on the boy, when he arrived he had to pull the boy out of the wall. When he then had to kamui him out, having him land in Obito's arms. Obito then kamuied to the medical room where Zetsu was restocking supplies.
"Zetsu! Set up the medical bed now!" White took control of movement while black talked.
"What happened?"
"He did some air bomb jutsu, the force blew back into a wall." Replied Obito.
"An air bomb?" Black never heard of the before.
"Yes, it is a ball of a massive amount of concentrated wind. I'm surprised he was able to control it to begin with." Obito laid Wasure down on the new set up medical bed. As they connected medical equipment, Wasure was alive and well inside his mind staring at the large cage yet again.
"This place again…" Wasure was not expecting to end up here again, then again. He never expected how much force the air bomb had.
"Well kid, that was interesting." Wasure looked at the cage, did he just hear a voice?
"Wait can you hear me now?" Whatever was in the cage sounded divine.
"Yeah…" Wasure was trying to be cautious about this.
"Thank god, you finally can hear me! I have been bored out of my mind, now I can finally talk." The figure moved up, when he did Wasure was a giant Wolf standing up on its back two legs like a human, then he noticed the wolf has…. Ten tails." "Anyway, the names Fenrir the Ten Tailed Wolf."
"Uh what?" Wasure was lost, One why he is here with a giant wolf. And Two how is there a Ten Tailed Wolf? Aren't there just Nine Tailed Beasts?
"Oh, that's right you don't know. Okay summed up version, originally there was the Ten Tailed Beast. The Sage of Six Paths, who can be pretty chill actually. Anyway, he and his brother sealed it away. He then using the idea his sons gave him made Nine Beasts from the Ten Tails. Bad thing is, if they were captured the Ten Tails could be revived. So, after five years he in secret made four more. Me the Ten Tailed Wolf and my Brothers a Bear, a Dragon, and a Phoenix. I was the first and only one let in the world. I could communicate with the other three and in spirit form we could meet. Then the Fang village found me and sealed me in your ancestors. And so, every first born in each generation would host me. You are my twentieth Jinchuuriki."
"Still lost here."
"Okay listen, I'm inside you. Mainly where those green seals are, I'll explain more over time but listen. You suffered from a major blow, you would be in a coma if not for me being able to save you." The wolf sat down now, he then channeled a massive air ball he then just tossed it around as he talked. He was still bored out of his mind.
"Kid let me tell ya, you have tons of potential. Your mother would be proud, and I promise you this. I will help you avenge her."
"Wait my mother's dead…" Wasure was told she was kidnapped, why would Obito lie to him.
"Wait they didn't tell you!?" The wolf's eyes went from blue to red, he slammed his fist into the ground. "Those lying, conniving..." The wolf took a deep breath in and out, his eyes went back to dark blue. "Sorry about that, I'm normally calm and relaxed. Your mother was my former Jinchuuriki, she… she well. For a while I did not care for the world. I was simply bored, I missed my brothers. But your mother showed me the light of humanity again, it wasn't like I would try to kill you all. It was more like, leave me alone or face my wrath then again. I probably just fall sleep in the woods just be rediscovered. At least that's what you mother would say…"
Wasure was tearing up, he never met his own mother and according to the Fenrir. She sounded like a perfect angel, and he could never meet her.
"Kid I'm sorry I didn't mean to do this to you, listen I." The wolf was cut off by Wasure.
"It's fine, I rather now the truth rather than a sweet lie. Thank you for that." Fenrir looked at the boy, his eye's changed red for a second. He almost got the sharingan, he just needs something more. As the wolf thought of ways, he sensed the two outside were readying to inject some healing serums into Wasure.
"Wasure I'll talk to you later, you need to wake up now. And don't worry I'll answer any question you have, and don't mention me to them."
Wasure nodded back just to see a light surround him he had to close his eyes from the brightness. When he opened he saw he was in the medical room.
"Wasure!" Yelled White. "You're okay."
"Huh, your still breathing impressive." Stated Black.
"You idiot." Obito was not mad in a sense of anger but of a father seeing his son do something stupid. "You could have killed yourself."
"I'm sorry I just wanted to" Obito held his hand out.
"Stop right there, yes I know you were excited but you don't pull stuff like that. You could have killed us both, or worse." Obito was disappointed and happy at the same time. He was happy to see Wasure make such progress, he shouldn't have been able to make that air bomb. He was disappointed because he thought Wasure was smarter than this.
"Yes sir." Wasure had his head down now.
"Listen go eat and rest, I may have you go read up more on wind control. Then I will think of what to do about your sharingan next, understood?" Obito knew the boy was depressed, he probably feels cheated out of his sharingan.
"Yes sir." Wasure then got down from the bed, he went to the lounge room. Zetsu and Obito made it for Wasure and Shisui, there they stored food. Both human and Argos's kills. He looked in the cabinets to find some instant ramen, Shisui got both Wasure and Obito addicted to them. As he made it, Argos came in the room.
"Hey buddy, how was hunting?" Wasure knelt down to pet his wolf. He just barked back and lowered his head, nothing huh? Well looks like we both have come up short." Wasure went back to fixing his food, while he waited for it to finish. He tossed some meat to Argos, who then promptly destroyed it.
"Good boy." Wasure then grabbed his food and sat down, he finished it in five minutes. He went to his room soon after, it was carved into the tree. It was clean somewhat, there was the occasional piece of clothing or food wrapper. One the walls were a target for kunai and shuriken, a mask he made and one Obito made him. It was red with swirls into the middle with two eye sockets. He then took his jacket off, and then landed on his bed. He couldn't fall asleep given how he still had somewhat of a headache. So, he thought started reading a book from their own "Uchiha" Library. It was how if a shinobi could master both wind and fire control they could perform a jutsu called Fire Casket or what some Uchiha prefer, the Cremation technique. It showed a Uchiha creating a tornado around the target, picking them up. They would then compress the tornado into a giant sphere and ignite it. Burning and killing the victim instantly, it then mentioned a greater variant could be done with an ability called Amaterasu. He would read that for half an hour when Zetsu walked in.
"Wasure."
"Yes White?" Wasure like Obito and Shisui, called each one their color.
"Obito has a mission for you." White smiled saying that.
"What!" Wasure jumped off the bed with excitement.
"Yes, he needs you to take out three bandits close to the safehouse. He said it may help with your sharingan, Obito said he unlocked his in combat. You may unlock yours that way."
"Awesome! I'll ready some gear." Wasure went to get his equipment.
"No need, Obito had a bag packed. And he told me to give you this." White held out a Katana. "It was Obito's first one, now he wants you to have it." Wasure reached out to grab the weapon, it was already sheathed.
"Where is he? By the way?" Wasure wanted to thank him for this.
"He is preoccupied as is your brother, he will be available when you return."
"Okay I'll see you later then, tell him thanks for me." Wasure waved bye to them.
When Wasure was gone black spoke.
"I have more respect for you now since you kept your mouth shut."
"It was not easy black, last time I helped to this. Obito's child heart was destroyed and replaced by his heart of darkness. White recalled what Obito called him for earlier.
Zetsu was walking out of the medical room when Obito called him back and called for Shisui.
"What is it Obito?" Asked Zetsu.
"Wait he doesn't know. I'm shocked you didn't tell him Obito." Stated Shisui.
"Know what?" Asked black.
"We had a backup plan to activate his sharingan." Obito had a depressed tone his voice. "The Sharingan can be activated from extreme injury due to the emotion of pain the person feels. I have seen it when I had to deal with some rouge Uchiha."
"What kind of injury?" White did not like where this was going.
"Impalement, hit with shuriken. Life threatening…" Shisui could keep going.
"No, this is your own brother!" White couldn't believe this.
"I know that! It's why I have to do it. If he see's me do it, all the anger and pain will activate it. I will do it when he deals with the bandits, for now go tell him he has a mission. I will handle everything else." Shisui then walked out of the room.
"White, hand him this katana. Tell him it was my first one, and hand him this gear. I'm sorry but it must be done." Obito was holding back tears.
"I see… it will be done." Zetsu grabbed the bag and katana.
"Thank you Zetsu, you always have been there for me." Obito kamuied away to his room, he looked down at his desk a burnt picture from his childhood was leaning against the wall.
"Rin, what have I done."
As Wasure ran out, his wolf Argos joined him. They were a good team, with Argo's nose no one could escape them. Putting on the mask, Wasure felt like a powerful shinobi. Who if he showed his face they would run in fear when the recognized who their opponent was. As he ran through the forest, he kept an eye out for any signs of a campfire or any footprints. He would keep this up for an hour, when he stopped for a break he heard someone running towards him. Jumping into the bushes with Argos, he saw a blond kid run past him. What was someone doing out here? As he went to leave his hiding spot he saw three shadows follow him.
"Bandits, Argos you ready." The wolf nodded back. "Okay then let's go." They jumped out to follow the "bandits" unaware of the fact the bandits he was looking for were dead and behind the tree he was next to. As for Fenrir he was awakened as he felt the presence of a tailed beast.
"Wait was that… Kurama the Nine Tailed Fox, it's about time we met."
