Chapter Four
As Kakashi with Naruto and Iruka returning to the village they immediately went to the hospital where they had Wasure put in immediate care.
A doctor ran up to them asking about the boy's situation.
"We don't know we found him in a battle and rescued him, we brought him here for any internal damage." Replied Kakashi.
"I see take him to the room on the left." The doctor steered them into the room where he and some nurses began to connect medical equipment to Wasure.
"So, doc how long till official exams?" Kakashi was doing what the could not to break down mentally. He was reliving his nightmare, the night he killed Rin.
"It may be an hour or two, the Hokage has been called over to." Kakashi cut him off with that.
"Wait why did you do that?" Kakashi was puzzled by this.
"He ordered us to, after…" The doctor had said too much.
"It is alright Doctor Tojo, I will tell him."
They both turned to see the Third Hokage walking up the hall.
"Lord Hokage!" Kakashi bowed out of respect and old habit.
"Kakashi, Doctor you may tend to the patient." Lord third had his normal smile on his face.
"Yes, lord third." The Doctor bowed and went inside the room.
"Lord third, what do you need to tell me?" Kakashi had stood up now.
"Follow me, I'll show you." Lord Third began walking to the stairs and went up. After ten minutes, he stopped at a random step. He then pressed his finger against a brick revealing a secret hall.
"What!" Kakashi took a step back, how long was this here?
"This way." Lord third pointed his staff to a room down the hall, as they walked down the hall. The "wall" closed behind them, there were no other rooms. Kakashi was making notes about the hidden hall. When they arrived to the door there was a nameplate for the patient.
"Emi Uchiha."
"Another survivor! How many escaped?" Kakashi was losing it, they went from two to five in one day. And unknown to him Obito was still alive making six.
"She showed up two days ago, she had torn clothes and battle scars. She had the sharingan when we found her, they had one tomo. I know…. you found two others, Iruka told me earlier. Do you think this is a related incident?"
"I don't know, the boy may have his sharingan. We didn't check, but his brother had Mangekyo and a Susanoo. Meaning we have new players in the world. They were from an organization called the Akatsuki." Kakashi was doing what he could recalling the event. His shock had taken over his mind, the nightmare couldn't stop.
"Iruka told me what the masked man said, I can see your barely keeping it together. Go home and rest, I will handle the boy and girl. This may be our chance to redeem ourselves for sacrificing the Uchiha clan.
Inside Wasure's mind, Wasure wakes up in front of the cage of Fenrir.
"Fenrir! Wake up!" Yelled Wasure.
The wolf was snoring, only moving to get an itch.
"Fenrir! Fenrir!" Wasure yelled again.
"What?" The wolf yawned as he opened his eyes, that was a good nap too.
"Where are we?" Wasure had no sense about where they were.
"Give me a sec, were at…. What the! Why are we in Konoha?"
Wasure knew the name, the village hidden in the leaves. The wolf was right why were we here?
"What's happening now?"
"There… looking for any severe injuries. It seems I left some wounds unattended nothing too serious though."
"Okay, anything else nearby?"
"Let me see, the Nine tails is somewhere nearby and… huh there is a female Uchiha close. She is in a hidden room!? Interesting, other than that… hmm well there is a ramen place nearby. Hold up new person nearby, old man. He's wearing this fancy get up, I can hear the conversation somewhat. Oh. he is the local Kage. The Hokage, he is the third."
That was a lot of information for Wasure, so there is a girl Uchiha in a hidden room odd. The Nine Tailed fox was close, an old man was nearby. There is a joke around that somewhere, oh and a ramen place that is important.
"Thanks Fenrir."
"No problem, now I think I owe you some answers."
That's right, Wasure remembered what the wolf said earlier.
"Okay where did my mother come from?"
"The Fang village, her full name was Hanea Karoi. She had a nickname for being the Jinchuuriki of yours truly, the Mother Wolf. Every Jinchuuriki had one, the first was The Alpha Wolf. You were to be the Hidden Wolf due to your secret to be me."
What are the other one's like?
"Let's see… the bear is like me, except they love taijtsu and less ninjutsu, the Dragon holy crap. We had a joke that he had one purpose in the world. Make fire lots and lots of fire! The dude was a burn first ask questions later guy. The phoenix, man she was the more elegant one. When the Dragon would just go head first burning everything, she would make a plan then countless backup plans. And that sums them up."
"Okay, lets see… oh what elements do I have affinity to?"
"Um, I'm not sure if I can check it…wait I might be able to. Touch my paw with your hand." Fenrir raised his massive paw against the cage, Wasure placed his hand on the paw. "Let's see here, you have wind of course, fire Lightning, and hold up huh Plasma, and possible Scorch release. And before you ask the plasma and scorch is going to take a long while to unlock."
"Okay…" Wasure was thinking of other things he could ask.
"Hey can I talk to you without being here?"
"Yes, it takes training and strains me unless you open the cage."
"Huh?"
"The cage keeps me in check, it's usually gone by now. But thanks to the second seal on the cage I'm stuck."
"Can I undo it in here?" Wasure wanted to let Fenrir out as a thank you gift for helping him fight the shinobi.
"Yes, just twist the second seal left and I'll be out of the cage but still in you."
"Okay, anything else?"
"Well you will look more feral, other than that no. I mean I can give you some extra chakra reserves, I say give but I mean make some of my chakra more available for you."
"By feral what do you mean?" Wasure was little cautious now.
"Teeth looking like fangs, claw like nails. Eyes looking like mine, hair if left uncut could look like a wolf's hair. Giving you something like a maim like a lion but cooler." Fenrir was smiling at the kid now, he was doing what he could to not freak him out with the word feral.
Wasure took a deep breath in and out. "Here goes nothing." Wasure turned the seal, it acted like a machine turning on its own after the initial shift to the left. The seal like a lock being opened after eons hissed with it becoming lose.
"Finally!" Fenrir pushed open the cage door and walked out, he was pure white now. It looked as if the cage kept him weakened.
"Now what?" Asked Wasure
"Here, a gift from me." Fenrir channeled his chakra and gave it to Wasure. His eyes changed to that of Fenrir's his nails sharpened and his teeth grew somewhat. As he finished his transformation, Fenrir froze in place as if he made a terrible realization.
"Um, soooo remember the when I said we were in Konoha. I forgot to mention, where in a hospital room. Full of people who saw you just change. Be ready for questions soon." Fenrir looked back to see the Hokage having the medical personal leave. "Wasure you need to wake up now, we'll talk later."
Wasure blinked to open his eyes to see the man that must have been the Hokage standing alone in front of the medical bed.
"Ah, your awake." His voice was that of a grandfather talking to his grandson. "Can you please explain what just happened?" Asked Lord third.
"Can I trust you?" replied Wasure.
"Why yes." Lord Third could see the boy's emotions he is in a strange place, he would ask this.
"Then can you explain the hidden room with the girl in it?"
Lord third was blown away, how did he know that!
"What room?"replied Lord third trying to keep his cool.
"The one in the staircase." Replied Wasure.
He knows…. but how?
"Okay how do you know that?" Asked Lord third.
"I'm… I'm the Jinchuuriki of the Ten Tailed Wolf Fenrir. Son of Hanea Kaori." Wasure was nervous now, that was his trump card.
Wait? Hanea, the girl he met so long ago with his friend Izuna? Izuna was a Uchiha, he had three kids that were supposedly killed with Hanea. Wait that means! Shisui survived! So, one of the most powerful Uchiha survived after all and here is the little brother. Now where is the third?
"Hanea, I met her with your father Izuna Uchiha. I was heartbroken with him to hear that you were thought dead. So, your brother Shisui, why did he try to kill you?" Lord third was interested by this when he heard that part from Iruka.
"What? What do you mean!?" Wasure must have heard that wrong.
"He openly admitted to trying to kill you for security reasons."
Wasure was in denial, why would Shisui do that? He loved Shisui as a brother and looked up to him, why! Just why would they tell Wasure this lie?
"Listen this may be hard to take in but." Lord third noticed tears in the boy's eyes. He walked up to the boy, just to see a sharingan with one tomo in a pair of feral soulless eyes.
"You know nothing about my brother! He is not some killer, he is my hero. He took up for me on so many times. He would not kill me like some animal!" Wasure was losing it, his emotions were overflowing.
"Wasure calm down! It's true I'm beginning to remember hearing it all. I'm sorry, Shisui tried to kill you."
"No…no….no just why…." Wasure brought his knees up to head and began crying. His world was falling apart, his one role model tried to kill him. His only blood family member tried to kill his own little brother. "Who would do this to their family…."
"You are not alone in this pain, there is another Uchiha here. Sasuke his brother is the reason the clan is dead. Perhaps you two can sympathize with each other." Lord Third was kneeling down now, he hoped with the boy they could get out of this pit of depression.
"Sasuke Uchiha huh." Wasure was wiping the tears out of his eyes. "Where is he?"
"I'll see if he can come visit, other than that." The Hokage was cut off by a knock at the door. A young Jonin opened the door.
"Ah, Mitarashi what is it?" asked lord third.
"Lord third, word has spread about the boy. All the academy students have showed up, even some instructors as well." Replied Mitarashi.
"I see, Wasure would you like to meet the other kids?" Lord third had a smile on his face.
"Sure." Wasure then whispered. "What about the other girl?"
"We'll see about that later, for now let's go meet the main group." Lord third offered his hand to the boy. "What is your name, your father never said it around me."
"Wasure."
"Well Wasure follow me."
The Hokage with Wasure left the room for the main lobby where what looked like twenty kids and five adults stood.
"There he is!" yelled one.
They began to run over to Wasure when the instructors jumped ahead and held their hands out.
"One at a time." Said one instructor.
"Okay." Replied the group.
Wasure walked up the group, he was a little nervous. One kid made the first move.
"Hi, my name is Eizo Genzo." The boy motioned to a girl who walked up next to him. "I'm Inko Genzo the older sister."
"By only a few seconds." Barked Eizo
"Best few seconds ever, anyway your name is Wasure Uchiha right?" asked Inko.
"Yeah." replied Wasure.
"Cool, can we see your sharingan?" That got all the kids attention.
"Uh…" Wasure actually didn't have control last two times were emotion triggers.
"I'll help you." Fenrir helped by lending some chakra and using what control he had to activate them.
The crowd were awed by the sight, then two more girls walked up a blondie and a pink haired girl.
"Hi my name is Ino and the pinkie with the big forehead is Sakura." Said Ino.
"Ino!" Screamed Sakura.
"It was just a joke Sakura, anyway it's nice to meet another Uchiha. That looks, well different…" Ino noticed the looks after a closer look at the boy. He looked like Kiba but he had the sharingan making him a Uchiha.
"Yeah, its from my mother side." Wasure had forgot about his new looks.
"I see, well like I said it was nice to meet you."
Wasure looked around to see who would come up next when he looked at one girl who then hid her face when Wasure looked at her. Wasure walked over to her, she looked at Wasure with embarrassment.
"Uh, hi." Wasure saw the embarrassment on her face.
"Hi…my name is Hinata Hyuga." The Hyuga? Wasure remembered a lesson from Zetsu, "The Uchiha and Hyuga are two of the most powerful clans of Konoha thanks to their eyes. The Sharingan for Uchiha and the Byakugan for the Hyuga.
"Hi Hinata." As he tired to make the best of the situation, a boy walked up to him.
"Sorry about that, she can be like this sometimes. The name's Neji by the way." Neji raised his hand for a handshake.
"Nice to meet you Neji, you must be a Hyuga too?" Wasure notice their eyes were similar.
"Yes, I'm the older cousin." Replied Neji.
As Wasure continued to talk the doors opened, Wasure looked to see a boy with a blue shirt and white shorts walk in.
"Where is this Uchiha kid at!?" Man, this guy has anger issues thought Wasure
"Right here." Wasure walked up to the kid.
"How the heck are you an Uchiha especially with how you look?"
"Whoa there pal, I don't know who made you in charge of how we look but I'm an Uchiha.
"Yeah right, prove it to me."
"Jeez Sasuke relax a bit will ya?" Inko walked up next to Wasure.
"He already showed us a sharingan. He's legit." Inko was not one to see Sasuke have his emo temper tantrums.
"Likely story." Sasuke was not backing down.
"It's true Sasuke." Replied Ino.
"How is that possible!" Sasuke would not and could not believe this.
"Look Sasuke, I know why your angry and that certain person who betrayed you. I know that feeling, I was betrayed in a similar fashion we are alike. Please just trust me please." Wasure raised his hand to Sasuke offering a hand shake.
Sasuke just stared at the kid like some punk.
"Like you know anything." Sasuke went to walk off.
"I know about the true killer of the clan." That got Sasuke's attention.
"And how is that?"
"I told him." Lord Third walked up to the boys. "I figured it could help you become what you use to be Sasuke. Just give him a shot."
Sasuke just scoffed and left, this was going to be a fun friendship. Wasure went back to mingling with the other kids when he remembered something important. Wasure ran to the Hokage.
"Where is my Wolf." Asked Wasure.
"Oh, him he is a vet. I can take you to him." Replied Lord Third.
"Okay." Wasure waving goodbye went to the vet with the Hokage, back in the hidden room. Emi was reliving the events that transpired not so long ago. She was an experiment one of many. She was known as U Four Three Seven. She was one of the first successful one's her body had no defects, her eyes were fine. How she escaped was not so perfect. She was being let out of her tube, there the man known as Kabuto looked at her.
"Wake up Emi, it's time to train Miko." He was the one of the few that called her that. Yet he called her to gain her trust to lure her into false security. She would die soon, Miko needed a meat dummy Emi would do for now. But Emi was smarter than the other test subjects. She had learned how to trick the systems into thinking she was sleeping, so while Kabuto and his master talked free. She heard it all, how training meant death for the trainer.
"Yeah about that, she grabbed his kunai from his pocket and stabbed him in his gut catching him off guard. She then made a run for it, she knew the place thankfully by spending her free time wandering the halls. She knew of one weak wall she could break, she just needed to find it. After ten minutes she found it, preforming her hand techniques she readied her escape ticket.
"Fire Style Fireball Jutsu!" Creating a fireball and launching it, she broke though the wall. She did it! She just ran as fast as she could. Sprinting faster and faster running for her life, she would feel her stamina deplete and her body fatigued but she didn't care. She wanted her freedom that was when she felt the knockout poisoned tipped needles hit her neck.
Two Sound shinobi showed up from their hiding spot from the tree.
"Looks like a runner, good thing we caught her." stated one of the sound shinobi.
"Yeah, freaking Uchiha." Replied the other.
"You know she is a created Uchiha right? She may have new powers according to the boss."
"Is that so?"
The sound shinobi turned to see a man with a black cloak surrounded by crows.
"What do you want?" yelled one of the shinobi.
"The girl, now hand her over." The man was staring the shinobi down.
"Who in the hell do you think you are?" asked one of the shinobi.
The man scoffed. "The name is Itachi Uchiha and that was your warning." Itachi activated his Mangekyo sharingan. "Amaterasu!"
The shinobi burned, Itachi then picked up the girl and took her to leaf territory. Getting the attention of two guards he leading them to the girl, taking her to the village. As he walked away, a masked figure appears in front of him.
"Itachi."
"Obito." Itachi learned his true name when Obito told him about Shisui. Itachi was Obito's secret agent, he was the backup plan if Shisui went rouge.
"I see you did your good deed for the day." Sated Obito.
"You could say that." Replied Itachi.
"Listen, Shisui is getting more violent. You may want to keep an eye out for that. Other than that, stay hidden good luck." Obito then kamuied away leaving Itachi alone.
Itachi wonderd how Sasuke was doing now, he just hoped had hadn't turned to anger and true darkness to fuel his sharingan. The he thought about the girl, that made six survivors who knows if Orouchimaru has more.
