Legacy of the second Hokage: Raiden
Hey guys! Amaterasu_Blazing here with the next chapter of Legacy.
Again, shout out to Scarease. Now I already corrected my story for your point on Hizen's eyes, thanks for that, I have no idea how I missed that when I was proof reading. Secondly, on the point about the flying thunder god, I agree entirely. This is why I have placed heavy restrictions on his use of it at the moment. First, you definitely won't see Raiden teleporting from Konoha to Kumo, or something equally ridiculous, and spamming it at the speed of light. At least not until near the end of Shippuden. Also, don't worry about the chakra requirements! He has far more than needed. I won't say anything more at the moment on this topic, but let me say this. There is a reason he was able to understand the complex Fuinjutsu seals for the flying thunder god. And finally, on the point of Tsunade, she still has left the leaf as it is necessary to the plot of the story and I will explain why she still left even though she still has family in the leaf. Just a note about something that happens in this chapter, Raiden is the fastest Genin in his age group and the second smartest but was only at the high-middle end of the class, below Sasuke, as were Hizen and Sariah. Also note that Sariah doesn't have an instinctual defence with her magnet release and that is why she wasn't higher in class rankings.
So normal disclaimer. I own NOTHING! Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 3: The test part 1
The three genin quickly left the classroom in different ways, both Raiden and Sariah through the windows and Aizen through the door. Raiden quickly jumped from the windowsill to a nearby tree branch, acrobatically free running at top speed from tree to tree before taking to the rooftops, constantly moving towards his personal favourite weapon store and the meeting point, the Okame weapon store.
Sariah had used her bloodline to control silver sand that she had released from her storage gauntlets to form a silver cloud that moved her towards the meeting point while Aizen ran towards the meeting point from the front of the Academy, being nowhere near as insane as his team mates so as to decide to jump out a window.
Raiden arrived within three minuites because of his ridiculous speed advantage over his teammates, with Aizen and Sariah arriving at around the same time. "Good you're here. Come inside and I'll start introductions" Spoke their sensei as he entered the store, disappearing before any of the genin could get a good look at him. The three entered the store and got their first good look at their new sensei.
The man was fairly tall standing at 6'4" with pale skin only a shade or two darker then Raiden's own. He had predominantly white hair with two black lightning bolt designs on both sides of his face, starting from the beginning of his hairline and being four inches long. He also had black tattoos below his grey eyes and on his chin, designed as three thick wavy lines ending in points getting incrementally smaller below his eyes, with the largest being a cm under, and slightly larger than, his eyes and the smallest being half that size and in line with the bottom of his ear, with the third equally distanced between the other's, as well as a sharp, thin spike starting from the centre of his chin and ending below his lips.
He wore black anbu style pants and three layers of clothing on his chest. The first layer being a skin tight and sleeveless black undershirt and the second being a black gi top with a white outline. His final layer was a brown coat with short, elbow length sleeves and a long V-neck ending below his chest where the coat had a thick black ring around his waist with two tails, one in the front and one in the back, that ended mid-calf. His final features were his Konoha symbol on his left shoulder and the black hand guards covering the back of his hand and full wrist.
"Take a seat guys, I'll start introductions. As I've already told you, my name is Fenrir Tenpura. I like night time, the colour black and quite, I dislike noise, traitors and idiots pretending to be shinobi. My hobbies are star gazing and hunting. My dreams… well that's something you don't need to know." Said their sensei, an impassive look on his face as he described himself to them. He motioned towards Hizen to describe himself.
"My name is Aizen Hyuuga, as you already know. I like training and learning new fighting styles and dislike my clan's idiotic beliefs that the byakugan is all we need. My hobbies are learning new fighting styles and listening to music and my dream is to show my clan how severely they limit themselves and become a hunter nin." Spoke Hizen softly, but with a strong conviction in his voice as he described his dream to the other's in the room.
Fenrir's point of view
'Surprising, this is the first time I've ever met a Hyuuga who didn't believe that their bloodline wasn't completely and utterly perfect. Well, except one… this must be Renna's son.' Thought Fenrir as he gave a slight smile after hearing the young Hyuuga's description of himself. 'Well, at least I don't have to teach a self-centred bastard. That is, if they survive…'
Sariah's point of view
'He always did believe that his clan limited themselves with their views. I just hope that this doesn't blow up in his face when his clan elder's find out about this.' Sariah shook her head, a smile on her face as she worried about her friends dream.
Raiden's point of view
'I'm happy that he has the confidence to go against his clan's elders but I worry for what will happen when they find out. He is my friend even though he's a sarcastic bastard at times' Thought Raiden as he looked towards his friend, a smile on his face.
Sariah went next, "My name is Sariah Jishaku, I like my silver, friends and new things. I don't like traitors and the cold. My hobbies are practicing with my bloodline and making new silver sand. My dream is to become a strong kunoichi that future ninja can look up to." She said with a look of determination on her face as she said the last part.
Fenrir's point of view
'This is great! She's not a f***ing fangirl! That's two for two so far, a non-arrogant Hyuuga and a committed, serious semi-civilian! Hopefully I can get three for three.' Fenrir mentally cheered.
Aizen's point of view
'She always has believed that the ultimate goal for a ninja is to become a role model for the next generation.' Thought Hizen with an inward chuckle at the maturity of the goal.
Raiden's point of view
'She's changed a lot from when I first met her at the start of the academy' Thought a smiling Raiden as he looked towards his, not so secret, crush. "It's your turn now kid" said Fenrir as he motioned to Raiden to introduce himself to the group.
"My name is Raiden Senju. My likes are my friends and family, my sword and my scroll. I dislike traitors and idiots who can't tell the difference between the scroll and the kunai sealed within. My hobbies are reading and training and my dream… it's to become an anbu captain and hopefully the anbu commander and to protect those that I care about." Whispered Raiden, the others barely being able to hear what he said.
Fenrir's point of view
'That point about him not liking people who can't tell the difference between a scroll and the kunai sealed within, he's talking about the kyuubi jinchuriki, isn't he? How does he even now about that? The third's law forbids any from telling the younger generation about Minato-sama's actions on that night.' Inwardly questioned a surprised Fenrir glancing towards his Senju student as he thought over these questions. 'At least he's not an idiot who believes the Uzumaki kid is the Kyuubi reborn, as dumb as that idea is.'
Aizen's point of view
'Of all things that he could want to be, his dream is to become an anbu? Seriously, why doesn't he aim higher?' Thought Hizen, mentally face palming at the simplicity of his friend's goal.
Sariah's point of view
'He always been one to care about others before himself' thought Sariah, a smile and blush creeping onto her face as she looked towards her mutual crush, although neither of them new that they shared the same feelings for each other.
Raiden's point of view
"Okay, now that waste of time is out of the way I've got a little bit of very important information to share with you. You aren't genin…yet." Stated Fenrir, a cruel smirk on his face as he inwardly chuckled at the shocked expressions on the trio's faces.
"Then what do we need to do" Said Aizen, his face changing back to its usual impassive state as he sat back down after accidentally knocking over his chair in his shock.
"He's right! You said yet, so what do we have to do to prove we're worthy to be genin!" Shouted Sariah looking expectantly at her sensei, waiting for him to tell her what they needed to do.
"Smart girl, your right. The test you completed two weeks ago was to weed out those with no possible talent, that's why it was so easy that even those that never really were focused on shinobi training. Your true genin exam is a combined survival retrieval mission in training ground 44, the forest of death." He said, a smirk on his face as he moved towards the door, motioning for his students to follow him as he left the shop.
The three shinobi hopefuls glanced towards each other before Raiden made the first move, walking towards the door, throwing a small piece of encouragement over his shoulder as he walked out the door. "Come on guys, let's show him that we deserve to wear this symbol!" he said as he motioned towards the leaf carved onto his happuri.
Looking at each other, the two remaining occupants of the shop ran to catch up to their sensei and teammate, Aizen muttering to himself as he exited the room after the silver clad Sariah. "The forest of death, well that doesn't sound at all foreboding" He shook his head as he followed his team mates, taking to the rooftops to try and catch up with his teammates.
15 minutes later
Team 6 stood in front of the fenced of forest that made up training ground as they waited for their sensei to explain the mission parameters. "Okay you three, your test is a combined survival and retrieval mission. Your task is to find a scroll in the forest. You have two days to find, retrieve and return with this scroll." Said Fenrir as he outlined the parameters of their mission, indicating with his hand to ask any questions they had.
Aizen spoke first, an emotionless tone in his voice "How do we tell when we've found the scroll? You haven't told us what to look for." He said calmly, obviously preparing himself for the test. Fenrir nearly facepalmed at the fact he forgot to tell them what they were looking for.
"The scroll your looking for is the same size as the one Raiden is carrying and is predominantly black with the words 'team 6' on it in red ink." He described as he wondered why Raiden even had the scroll on him. He shook his head and decided to ask Raiden after the test. "Good luck, if you return in time then you'll have passed, but I don't expect you all to survive"
The three genin trainees sprinted into the forest as Aizen and Sariah wondered what Fenrir meant when he said that he didn't expect them to survive. Raiden though… his mind began to work a hundred miles a minute as he began to strategize for the fastest way to find the scroll.
Once the trio started to disappear from view Fenrir started to laugh as he whispered to himself, an evil smile on his face. "Let the games begin." He continued chuckle as he formed a single hand sign as the trio disappeared from view.
As they passed into the thicker areas the forest, Raiden's mind clicked as he thought through a plan for the fastest way to find their objective. "Aizen, Sariah stop!" Shouted the white/red haired shinobi as he stopped moving, taking a seat on a large tree root. Hizen and Sariah stopped and moved towards Raiden, Hizen taking a seat on a low hanging tree branch while Sariah took a seat on a tree root near Raiden.
"Why did you stop?" questioned Sariah as she caught her breath. Aizen nodded, showing that he was thinking the same question.
"We need a plan and I think I have one." Said Raiden as he looked towards his team mates, who both nodded in agreement to the fact they needed a plan of action. Hizen sent him a questioning look, asking for him to describe their plan. "Okay so we have just over thirty-one square kilometres of forest to cover in two days. I think the best method would be to split up and search the forest." Sariah nodded seeing the logic behind the idea, but Aizen had a problem with this idea.
"Are you sure that is a good idea? I know you have Kenjutsu and Fuinjutsu to protect yourself, Sariah has her abilities with her silver and I have my own skills with my byakugan and the gentle fist, but is that enough to be able to protect ourselves from anything we run across if we're alone. Unless that's your plan, split us up so we all die" Argued Aizen as he worried for his friends and his own safety, with a bit of his bastard side shining though.
"It's a fair argument Aizen, but it's our only choice. Yes, we have two days to find the scroll but we have a huge area to cover. We'd be extremely pressed for time if we went as a group." Sariah argued back as she tried to reason with Aizen's innate fear of the deadly forest ignoring his snipe at Raiden's plan.
Aizen sighed as he nodded his head in agreement to Sariah's logic. Raiden, Sariah and Aizen agreed to split up and went in separate direction, Raiden north-east, Sariah north-west and Aizen south. Unbeknownst to the Genin below three black clad forms stood in the upper branches of the trees. The three figures split up, one following each of the genin.
Three hours later
Raiden sprinted through the trees, jumping over roots and using low hanging branches to swing himself forward. He slowed down and stopped to catch his breath, taking off his scroll and unsealing a water canister to take a drink. As he was resealing the canister his danger sense kicked in and caused him to through himself forward while grabbing his scroll. Raiden landed on his hands and again flipped forward. Raiden clipped the scroll back onto his back while in the air and twisted his body to land facing the direction he had just been standing.
He noticed three kunai knives imbedded in the ground he was just standing. He drew his sword as he looked up into the tree branches, catching a glimpse of black against the brown background of the tree trunks. Raiden quickly dropped to his knees to dodge another barrage of kunai as they sailed over his head.
Raiden quickly sent a pulse of chakra into the ground to form a mental map of his immediate area, including the location of his assailant. He quickly rolled forward to avoid another barrage of kunai. As he came to a stop he returned fire with a trio of his customized arrowhead kunai towards his assailant's location. Quickly forming the tiger seal as the kunai embedded themselves into the surface of the tree.
"Kai!" shouted Raiden, activating the explosive seals carved onto the kunai. The resulting explosion caused large amounts of wood shrapnel to shoot from the tree and blasted straight through the relatively small, for the forest of death at least, tree and caused the top half of the tree to fall to earth, bringing Raiden's black clad assailant.
The falling figure quickly snapped a bladed whip around the trunk of a nearby tree, causing the blades to cut into the bark of the tree, causing the attacker to swing to the tree. As the figure hit the tree feat first he let go of the handle of his whip, not bothering to try and remove the embedded blades from its surface. Pushing of the tree with his feat, flipping in the air and landing in front of his target.
His assailant unravelled a second bladed whip as Raiden stood up, flinching slightly at the slight headache from using he sensory ability. His opponent snapped his arm forward, sending the whip flying towards the young Senju. Raiden rolled to the side to dodge the weapon, not expecting his attacker to quickly switch the direction of the whip.
The black clad figure whipped his arm across his body, causing the whip to change direction mid-flight. Raiden barely reacted in time to dodge the attack, throwing himself backwards to dodge it. Raiden cried out in pain as the razor blades tore through the light armour of his jacket and shirt, cutting a long but shallow wound diagonally across his chest.
Raiden rolled back to dodge the follow up attack, blocking the attack with his blade. His opponent may have been wearing a mask but Raiden could practically see the smirk on his face as the whip wrapped around both the blade of the sword and the handle, razor edges cutting into his hand. The figure savagely pulled his arm back, causing the blade to be ripped forward and out of his grip and savagely cutting up his right hand as the razor blade were ripped out. Causing Raiden to scream out in pain.
Raiden smirked through the pain as he saw the blade about to pass over his attacker's head. 5 meters, in his range barely. As his weapon passed over the enemies head a flash of white appeared next to the weapon, causing the attacker to be temporally blinded. As the flash dispersed to reveal Raiden in the air next to his blade, left arm stretched out, his hand opening to show the palm pointing towards his assailant.
"Uzumaki style: Chain Rose!" shouted the Senju heir as five white chains with sharp spike on the end of the chain burst from his palm, twirling around in a circle as the moved towards their target. The figure dodged the first and second chains by throwing himself back and jumping to the side, straight into the path of the third that buried itself into his left shoulder, stunning him for a moment because of the flash of pain caused by the spike going straight through the shoulder blade.
That moment was all he needed though as the final two chains buried themselves into both his chest and his skull. As Raiden hit the ground he ran at top speed to escape the area. As he got a good amount of distance between him and the clearing he was attacked in the adrenalin began to wear of, allowing the reality to hit him full on. "I-I-I killed him. I can't believe I killed him" Raiden continued to babble nonsensically as his body moved on its own, unclipping and using a small bit of blood from his ravaged right hand to unseal antiseptic and bandages from it. The sting of applying antiseptic to his wound shocked him out of his mindless mumbling, he quickly and methodically cleaned and bandaged his chest and hand.
As he resealed the medical supplies his mind began to think over what had just happened. He had just killed a man, he pushed that to one side of his mind for the moment. He had been attacked, so likely his team mates were also being attacked. He quickly belted the scroll back in place and again used his sensing ability to locate his team mates.
On his mental map he located the closer of his team mates. He sprinted of back south-west at slightly slower top speed than previously, due to his chest wound. 'Don't worry Aizen, back up is coming in.' Thought Raiden as he dodged, ducked and flipped his way through the dense underbrush. During this entire time, he never noticed the body of the man he 'killed' burst into smoke.
Aizen's point of view
Aizen ran from branch to branch as he moved through the forest, byakugan active, although one wouldn't be able to tell because of his glasses covering his eyes and hair covering the bulging veins widely associated with his bloodline. He twisted his body as he ran across a branch, allowing a barrage of shuriken to appear in his area of sight as they moved out of his blind spot. This forced him to jump of the branch to avoid the assault, returning with a cloud of senborn at the general direction of his opponent.
Aizen hit the ground in a backwards role, still focusing in the general direction of his attacker. His opponent dropped out the foliage, a bo staff strapped to his back as he threw a wide spread shuriken attack mid-air, making it near impossible to dodge.
Aizen got shallow cuts across his sides, left arm and right leg as he attempted to dodge as many shuriken as possible. Aizen charged towards his opponent to try get him in striking distance. His black-clad assailant saw what he was doing and unstrapped his staff while using his remaining to launch another flurry of shuriken at the advancing Hyuuga.
The third barrage was far more condensed, allowing Aizen to dodge it far more easily as he rolled out of the direct path of the discs with only a couple cuts on his back. Aizen accidently rolled right into the path of his opponent's attack as he spun his staff towards his head. Aizen pulsed chakra to his arm to strengthen his hand as he used it to block the staff.
Aizen flinched at the dull pain from blocking the attack. Aizen surged upwards from his crouching position to attempt to hit his opponent's chakra, but was blocked as his opponent spun the staff in front of him. His opponent spun the staff above his head and attacked Aizen by attempting to diagonally strike the boy across his face.
The attack was again blocked by the Hyuuga with his left hand while striking the tenketsu in his assailant's right hand, paralysing it. The boy's assailant growled as he began to wield his staff in one hand. The assailant again attacked the boy as he thrusted the staff towards Aizen's stomach. This time Aizen attempted to catch the staff, but the attacker rotated the staff at the last second to hit Aizen's chin, causing Aizen's head to snap back as he fell backwards.
The attacker again spun the staff to attempt to hit the Hyuuga's stomach as Aizen rolled out of the way, sweeping his opponent as he attempted to get the upper hand in their fight. His assailant planted his staff into the ground to stop his fall. Using his arm strength, the attacker swung himself around the pole to send a double kick into Aizen's back as he tried to get back to his feet, sending him careening forward as his opponent flipped back to his feet.
Aizen quickly pushed himself back onto his feet as the two combatants stood across from each other in the dense underbrush. Aizen slid into the basic gentle fist stance as his opponent brought the staff to his side and placed his recovered hand in an open palm in front of himself. The two fighters charged each other as Aizen again went on the offensive, sending a barrage of strikes at his opponent, all of them being blocked by the staff wielder.
Then Aizen did something that surprised his opponent, he switched styles. Aizen fluidly changed from the swift palm strikes of the gentle fist to the heave fists of the iron fist, sending a chakra infused fist straight through the staff, causing his opponent to stumble backwards. Aizen quickly capitalised on this mistake and pushed forward, sending a combination of tenketsu closing gentle fist strikes and hard hitting iron fist strikes to incapacitate his opponent.
This was the seen Raiden arrived to as he moved into the area. "Well you dealt with that well. I'm glad my gift didn't go to waste." Raiden said a chuckle in his voice.
"Split up, you said, It'll be fine you said. Yeah everything just peachy isn't it, eh Raiden" Scowled Aizen, sarcasm dripping from his voice.
"Oh shut up you sarcastic bastard, how was I supposed to know we were going to be ambushed! But if both you and I were attacked then…" Raiden trailed off and instantly dropped to the ground before again pulsing his chakra to form a mental map, trying to locate Sariah. He quickly located Sariah's signature, and stood up his vision slightly blurry because of the multiple uses of the headache causing technique. Once his vision cleared he motioned for Aizen to follow him. Aizen complied having reached the same conclusion as his team mate.
The two quickly shot off into the forest, again being out of visible distance before the subdued figure burst into a cloud of smoke.
Sariah's point of view
The only female member of team 6 jumped from tree to tree as she travelled through the forest searching for their objective. She was interrupted from her task as a white clad figure dropped in front of her, quickly causing a crater in the thick branch. Sariah immediately unsealed a large amount of silver as she formed the serpent seal, "Magnet release: Silver Spike" shouted Sariah as she formed multiple spikes of silver and sent them towards the white clad combatant.
The assailant flipped backwards across the branch as the spikes embedded themselves into the branch were he had just been standing. He raced towards the kunoichi, quickly passing the impact marks left by the Sariah's jutsu, not noticing the silver still in the small craters.
Sariah leaped off the branch onto a platform of silver sand to dodge another bone breaking attack as her assailant hit the spot she had just been standing. As he brought his hand out of the crater he formed, she noticed he was wearing a pair of spiked brass knuckles.
Sariah smirked as she realised that her attacker was standing directly in-between her and her previous attack point. Quickly forming the snake seal again Sariah pulsed her chakra a she shouted "Magnet release: Reverse Polarity." The silver that had been left in the impact marks quickly shot towards Sariah, forming a single spike racing towards the nape of her attack.
Sariah's confidence quickly fell as her attacker ducked under the attack as the spear continued forward until joining the silver platform. Sariah quickly jumped back onto a tree branch, grabbing two of the poles from her back and commanded the silver be resealed into her gauntlets. As her opponent charged her she pointed one of her rods at the advancing figure. "Magnet release: Silver Railgun" whispered the kunoichi as the rod shot out of her hand, forcing him to dodge to the side and directly into her next attack. "Magnet release: Silver whip" shouted Sariah, swinging her left arm across her body as she released silver from her gauntlet's to form into a multi tailed whip. As the tails connected with her opponent the force behind them caused his body to change direction mid-air, sending him crashing into a nearby tree trunk.
Sariah was about turn away and go back to her mission, thinking her opponent had been defeated and barely caught the sign of movement from the corner of her eye. She barely reacted in time to release some silver to form a shield in front of her, preforming a fatal mistake as she lost sight of her opponent. The shield exploded backwards as his fist came in contact, creating a detonation of chakra on impact.
Sariah closed her eyes to protect them from the tiny particles of silver, only making her an easier target as she had no way of telling what was going on the area around her. The last thing she felt was being swiftly struck in the back of the head before her world turned black and she fell unconscious.
