Legacy of the second Hokage: Raiden
Hey guys! Amaterasu_Blazing here with the next chapter of Legacy.
Also note, another AU announcement. I am changing team Jiraiya so that it now includes Sakumo Hatake (The White Fang), an OC, and Minato Namikaze (The Yellow Flash) with Jiraiya (The Toad Sage) as sensei.
E-rank - Learned by Academy students. Are the basic and most fundamental techniques for all ninja. Also here is the jutsu ranking system
D-rank - Genin-level techniques. Can be achieved by all genin, though many ninjas only learn their "type" of technique.
C-rank - Chunin-level techniques. Sometimes learned by genin who have trained extensively.
B-rank - Jonin-level techniques. Require high levels of chakra to use.
A-rank - Kage or jonin-level techniques. Require great control over one's chakra and may be forbidden.
S-rank - Secret, extreme level techniques. Are typically unique to a single user.
Now I show these because of one factor, the descriptions for A and B rank. Now since Aizen will be the team's medic and second heavy hitter he will have a lot of B and A rank medical Ninjutsu early on because my understanding is that all medical ninjutsu requires perfect control and complexity, not because of chakra consumption.
So normal disclaimer. I own NOTHING! Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 6: The Raging Waves
Fenrir's point of view
Fenrir finally reached the clearing in training ground 32, tightly clutching the scroll as he dropped down to the edge of the clearing. He smiled as he saw his team practicing. Raiden was attempting to learn a new storm release technique from one of his father's scroll. The young Senju had decided to focus on his strong releases and kekkai genkai for ninjutsu.
Aizen was training with some gentle fist techniques on a clone that Fenrir had left behind. The Hyuuga had quickly become interested in combining ninjutsu into his taijutsu and learning to use medical jutsu in combat. Sariah was trying to manipulate her sand and push lightning chakra into it to try and use it as a conductor for the lightning release technique.
"Okay guys we have a mission!" Shouted Fenrir as the genin perked up and stopped what they were doing. As the stood around him he began to explain the mission. "We'll be joining team 7 in escorting a bridge builder to wave country. We leave in an hour at the front gates of the village, don't be late." Instructed Fenrir before he body flickered away.
Raiden left first of the three, disappearing quickly after their sensei left. The remaining genin wondered what there was for him to pack as they to shot off. He had been carrying what was now unofficially called the scroll armoury by the team after they had seen Raiden unseal everything in the scroll at once. Afterwards there was almost no space left in the area to stand.
1 hour later
Raiden's point of view
The young Senju walked to the gate, waving to the two chunin on duty as he met up with his team mates. Sariah had three small sealing scrolls on her right leg whilst Aizen had a medium sealing scroll strapped diagonally to his back. The trio were soon joined by their sensei.
The team began to become agitated as they waited for team 7 as Raiden pulled out a stack of cards and indicating to his team mates for a game, Fenrir surprisingly joining in as they began to play a game of go-fish to pass the time. The members of team 7 began to show up soon afterwards, first Sasuke and Sakura, who decided not to join in.
Naruto was the last genin to arrive, walking in to a scene of Raiden schooling his team in the card game, Sakura fawning over the Uchia and asking him for a date. Naruto began asking his 'Sakura-chan' for a date as she continued fawning over Sasuke, ignoring the blond. Raiden shook his head in annoyance at his cousin's infatuation with the pinket.
They continued to wait for Kakashi for another hour until he walked into view, followed by a grey haired, bespectacled man who must have been the client. "Your late!" Screeched Sakura at their sensei as he walked up to the gate.
"Sorry I got lost on the rode of life." Answered the silver haired jounin as he walked up to the Tenpura, shaking hands with Fenrir as he continued talking in a low tone to his friend and fellow sensei. "Sending two teams on a simple C rank mission, the old man suspects something, doesn't he?" Questioned the Hatake as Fenrir nodded in response, just as concerned.
The two teams quickly departed the village, going at a decent pace but going slow enough for the drinking Tazuna to keep up with the shinobi. Naruto took point of the group, with Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura on one side of Tazuna and Fenrir, along with Aizen and Raiden on the other. Sariah brought up the rear of the formation as they travelled.
Sakura was the first to break the silence. "Say, Mr Tazuna?"
"What is it?" Grumbled the grey haired bridge builder in response as he glanced nervously to the arrow head shaped knife with strange markings that Raiden was spinning around on his index finger.
Sakura continued as she glanced at the man. "Your country id the land of waves, right?" Questioned the pink haired Haruno as the other shinobi began to listen in on the conversation.
"Yeah" grunted the bridge builder in response. "What of it?" Asked the old man as he continued looking at the road ahead, throwing glances at the now interested genin to his sides.
"Kakashi-sensei, there are ninja in that country too, aren't there?" Questioned the ex-civilian as she glanced at her silver haired jounin sensei.
"No, there are no ninja in the land of waves" responded the jounin as he looked at his female student. Seeing the confused look on her face he elaborated "but in other countries there are hidden villages. Each with their own different customs and cultures where ninja reside."
Fenrir picked up Kakashi's line of thought and continued on behalf of the silveret. "To the people of this continent, the existence of shinobi villages means strength, military strength. In other words, that's how they protect themselves and maintain the balance of power with neighbouring countries. The ninja villages are not controlled by any government, their independent and have equal status." At this Raiden snorted as Kakashi picked up from Fenrir
"Now a small island like the land of waves has natural protection from the sea so there's no need for a ninja village. The five ancient lands that poses shinobi villages are the lands of fire, water, lightning, wind and earth. They each occupy vast territories, together they are known as the five great shinobi nations." Explained Kakashi as Fenrir again picked up where he left off
"The land of fire has the village hidden in the leaves, the land of water has the village hidden in the mist, the land of lightning has the village hidden in the clouds, the land of wind has the village hidden in the sand, and the land of earth has the village hidden in the stones." Explained Fenrir as, unsurprisingly, Raiden picked up from the two jonin.
"Now, at this point in time, only the leaders of these five hidden villages are permitted the name Kage, which means shadow. Hokage for leaf, who is currently Hiruzen Sarutobi, Mizukage for mist, who is a man named Yagura Karatachi, Raikage for cloud, which is a shinobi by the name of A, Kazekage for suna who is currently Rasa no Sabaku and finally stone with the Tsuchikage, Onoki" Explained Raiden. Kakashi and team7 were quite surprised by Raiden's knowledge while the rest of team 6 just sighed.
Sakura was the first to question the jounin on what he meant. "Kakashi-sensei, what does Raiden mean when he says at this time?" Kakashi sighed before responding.
"Well, you see Sakura, the thing is that the 5 main villages aren't the only hidden villages. There are other such as the village hidden in the grass or the village hidden by a waterfall, which is an ally of leaf. Because of this the lords have always argued on which villages should be allowed to call their villages Kage officially, as some, such as the village hidden by stars, which calls its leader the Hoshikage do it without permission." Explained Kakashi as Fenrir continued
"Now there has only been two exceptions to this rule. These were the village hidden by whirlpools, who were allowed to call their leader Uzukage until it's destruction in the second shinobi world war and the village hidden by rain because of a man named Salamander Hanzo, so they called theirs the Amekage until it was revoked for unknown reasons about a decade back." Continued Fenrir as the genin's eyes widened at varying degrees, all showing surprise at the intricacy of the system.
Sakura squealed after she got over the shock "Then lord hokage is really important" Exclaimed Sakura as inner Sakura screamed "Hmm, id that old man really such a big deal? I'm not buying it."
Naruto thought back to when he was getting his ninja picture taken 'I got him with my sexy jutsu! He can't be that great, believe it'
"That explains a lot" muttered Sariah as she thought back to times she had seen ninja greet the hokage with looks of both respect and slight fear, Aizen having a similar thought process as the Jishaku.
"Hey" Shouted Kakashi, startling almost everyone minus Sasuke, Raiden and Fenrir as he broke them their thoughts. "You all just doubted lord Hokage, didn't you? That's what you were thinking." The jounin phrased as a question, although the anyone who listened would think of it more as a statement.
"Umm" said a surprised Naruto, his voice raising an octave out of surprise and fear of being caught. Sakura and Naruto began to shake their heads madly in the negative in response while Aizen and Sariah didn't move a muscle.
"Well, anyway, there are no ninja battles in a C ranked mission. So, you can relax" said Kakashi as he placed a hand on Sakura's head. His voice was calming with a soothing tone, but Fenrir and Raiden picked up on an underlying tone of uncertainty in the cyclopean jounin's words. Raiden's Eyes narrowed as he watched his sensei tense as they continued Walking.
Time passed quickly for the group as the continued along the path, as they were walking Raiden noticed a puddle in the centre of the rode. He narrowed his eyes as he thought, 'it hasn't rained in weeks, so that puddle couldn't be natural.' Glancing to his teammates he noticed they too had noticed the puddle. Raiden signalled Sariah with a nod a she began to release a tiny amount of silver from her gauntlets.
Once they were a way's in front of the puddle with the two sensei lagging behind the group slightly two clocked figures rose out of the puddle. One of the two quickly flung his partner forwards into the air, a bladed chain that connected them wrapping around the two jonin. "Do it!" Shouted one of the figures as they ignored Sakura and Naruto's exclamations of surprise.
The two pulled the bladed chain apart, shredding the sensei into pieces. Raiden was able to notice a glimpse of wood before the jounin were shredded. He inwardly sighed in relief as he realised the jounin had used the replacement jutsu to avoid the technique. The two enemy shinobi suddenly appeared behind Naruto as he shouted in surprise and horror at the 'death' of his and his cousin's sensei's.
The two moved towards Naruto as one of the shouted. "Now it's your turn!" he exclaimed as they raced towards the blond Uzumaki. Naruto froze up as Sariah formed the serpent seal, a cold look in her eye as she shouted. "Magnet release: Reverse Polarity" As she said the technique the silver she dropped earlier came racing back towards her, causing the ninja to need to pause for a moment to avoid the technique.
That moment was long enough it seemed as Sasuke launched himself into the air, shuricken and kunai in hand. He capitalised on the Shinobi's pause as he threw the shuricken, catching the bladed chain and nailing it to a tree. The Uchia quickly followed up with a kunai through the hole in the shuricken before the two could pull the chain free, effectively stopping them in their tracks.
"I can't get lose" growled one of the nin as Sasuke landed on the pair's gauntlet's. He grabbed the two thick ninja tools and used them to balance himself as he kicked backwards into their assailants faces, sending them reeling back in opposite directions. This forced the two to disconnect the chain from their gauntlet's as they regained their footing.
The two split up as one raced towards Tazuna and Sakura and the other to Naruto, Aizen and Raiden standing between the two groups. Raiden shot off towards Naruto as the enemy nin closed in on his little brother. Raiden quickly formed a tiger seal, "Kai" whispered Raiden as seals formed on his body before disappearing. He suddenly picked up speed and seemingly disappeared.
"Magnet Release: Silver Wall!" shouted Sariah who stood near Naruto, her sand shooting up and forming a silver barrier between the nin and Naruto just a second late as the claws of the gauntlet scratched Naruto's hand.
The shinobi turned to see a furious Raiden standing behind him, katana in hand and a red glint in his violet eyes. The nin didn't have time to blink as Raiden attacked him. "4 layered mirage" growled Raiden as he dropped down and attempted to sweep the enemy nin who dodged by leaping into the air. He soon realised his mistake as the genin below him seemed to fade and reappear behind him, delivering a vertical strike to his back.
This sent the shinobi forwards as he again appeared in front of the nin, slashing at his hip as he narrowly avoided, flinging himself to the side. He was about to get up and attack again before Fenrir appeared unharmed from the treeline and knocked him out with a chakra enhanced blow to the head. He nodded at his students before looking over to the bridge builder.
Aizen's point of view
Sakura jumped in front of the bridge builder in order to protect him, Sasuke to appearing in front of her as he readied himself to defend the client. Aizen activated his byakugan as he ran, his bangs and sunglasses again covering the tell-tale sign of their activation. He flipped over his opponent and landed in a crouch, throwing his hand backwards until the palm made contact with the shinobi's chest.
Aizen smirked as he spun and shouted his technique. "Directional rupture pulse." Exclaimed Aizen, a note of arrogance in his voice as his palm was overcharged with chakra before he blasted it into the nin's chest sending back a couple feet. He immediately switched into the gentle fist style as he stated a line few ever want to leave a Hyuuga's lips.
"You're in my field of divination" Exclaimed Aizen as a green, black and white eight trigram seal seemed to appear on the ground "Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms" Exclaimed the Hyuuga as he rushed forward, delivering the first two strikes to the still recovering opponent as he shouted. "Two palms!"
Aizen quickly continued as his next two attacks caused the nin to stumble back, "Four palms!" Aizen continued ruthlessly as the following four strikes sent the Shinobi skidding back "Eight palms!" They boy continued, strikes hitting with deadly precision thanks to his bloodline, causing his opponent to fall to his knees, "Sixteen palms!"
Aizen sped up as he delivered the final sixteen strikes, using another jutsu to enhance his effectiveness. He quickly formed the horse seal before he began the final strikes. "Fire release: Ignition palm" he split his hands and attacked as red fire chakra coated his hands, allowing him to not only close the tenketsu but slightly burn the chakra pathways and the man's skin, causing it to take longer to heal and reopen.
"Thirty-two palms" Exclaimed the Hyuuga as he sent his opponent flying backwards and crashing into the earth. He began to struggle to get up, his sealed tenketsu making it difficult for him to move. He was soon knocked out in a similar way to his comrade as Kakashi emerged from the forest and hit him with a strike to the temple, sending him into darkness.
Sakura shouted in surprise at the appearance of the jonin as Sasuke just deadpanned at Kakashi. Naruto though was staring at the scattered and cut laws that he had earlier believed was his sensei 'He used the replacement jutsu' realised Naruto as he stared at the spot his Sensei now stood. Kakashi brock him out of his stupor as he apologised.
"Naruto, sorry I didn't help you right away. I didn't mean for you to get hurt, I just didn't think you'd freeze up like that." Explained Kakashi as he walked towards Tazuna, Sakura and Sasuke as Aizen followed him. Tazuna sighed as he began to think 'They saved me after all' Thought Tazuna as thought what he had just seen. A well-oiled machine that was team 6 and the skills of the rookie of the year.
"Good job Sasuke, very smooth. You to Sakura." Congratulated Kakashi as Fenrir and the rest of team six joined them. Fenrir nodded in agreement as he spoke.
"Yes, I agree with Kakashi, well done. Sariah, good going on realising he trick and getting Sasuke that opening as well as defending Naruto before yourself. Aizen, Raiden well done to both of you for holding them off." Praised Fenrir as Sariah smiled bashfully at the praise and rubbed the back of her neck whilst Raiden smiled and Aizen nodded in thanks.
Raiden's point of view
Raiden glanced back at Naruto as he saw a dark look cross onto his face. He quickly figured out what was wrong. He walked over and kneeled in front of Naruto as he put a hand on his shoulder and smiled at him. "Don't worry about it little brother, I wouldn't have expected anymore from you after your first time in a life or death experience" Said Raiden, trying to calm the boy down.
Naruto nodded, knowing not to take it as an insult because of who it was coming from. "Hey" They turned to see Sasuke calling to them.
"Yeah?" Questioned Naruto as he and Raiden looked questioningly at the Uchia
"You're not hurt are yeah? Scardy cat" Taunted Sasuke as Raiden Narrowed his eyes and glared at him as Naruto began to growl behind him and was about to shout at the Uchia bastard until Kakashi stopped him.
"Naruto, stand still. These ninja had poison in their claws, we need to take it out of you quickly. You have to open the wound and remove it. It's in your blood so don't move around, that spreads the poison." Instructed Kakashi as Fenrir motioned for Aizen to move towards the blond. As he did Kakashi rounded on Tazuna.
"By the way Mr Tazuna" Said Kakashi as he turned towards the man.
"Yeah, what?" Responded the man, starting to sweat.
"We need to talk" Responded the lazy jonin. Fenrir and Kakashi placed the two nin up against the tree and tied them to it, they then woke up the two ninja as Kakashi told the rest of them who they were.
"These are the demon brothers, Gozu and Meizu. They're chunin from the village hidden in the mist. They specialty is relentless attack; they keep fighting no matter what the sacrifice." Explained Kakashi has he stared at the two nin, indicating the one on the left as Gozu and the other Meizu.
Gozu was the first of the two to speak. "How did you know about our ambush" Aizen snorted as he replied to the mist ninja.
"A puddle of water on a dry day and it having not rained in weeks, yeah that's a disguise no-one will see through instantly." Replied the Hyuuga, a mixture of a sarcastic and surprised tone in his voice. Sarcastic because anyone who thought for even a second would see something out of place and surprised at the level of idiocy it takes to even try that.
"In that case, why did you leave it for the genin to do the fighting?" Questioned Tazuna as Fenrir answered this one.
"We could have taken them out quickly, but then we'd have learned nothing. we needed to know who their target was, and what they were after." Explained Fenrir as he and Kakashi glared at Tazuna from the corners of their eye's.
Tazuna reeled back in surprise before he spoke "Mhh. What are you getting at?" Questioned the bridge builder, struggling to hide the nervous edge to his voice.
"This. We wanted to know if they were after us, ninja attacking ninja, or if they were after you, the master bridge builder. When you put in your request, you asked for standard protection, from robbers and highwaymen, you didn't say there were ninja looking for you. Hunting you down. If we knew this, it would be a B rank mission or higher." Said Kakashi as Fenrir continued as Tazuna bowed his head in shame.
"Our task was to simply get you to your destination and protect you while you finished building your bridge. If we knew we would be fielding attacks from enemy ninja we would have staffed differently and charged of the cost of a B mission. Obviously you have your reason's, but lying to us was not a good idea. We may know be beyond the scope of this mission." Finished Fenrir as he looked to the old man.
"We're genin, this is to advanced for our level of training, we should go back. And I really think we need to treat Naruto's wound and get the poison out as soon as possible. Back in our village we can take him to a doctor." Exclaimed Sakura as Sariah responded to her question.
"Two things banshee. First, I think we didn't do half bad in that fight so if stays like this it should still be in our level. And secondly, look to your left." Said the silver user as she pointed to Naruto. Sakura was about to screech at her for the comment but her curiosity won out and she looked over to her teammate and what she saw surprised her.
Naruto stood there, kunai buried in his hand. Raiden and Aizen stood next to him, shocked as they watched the blood drip from the wound. Most of the other shinobi, minus Sariah and Fenrir, and Tazuna gained shocked expressions as they looked at Naruto. 'Why am I so different? Why am I always, uugh?' "Naruto, stop that, what are you doing" Screamed Sakura as she looked at the blond Genin
'I worked so hardtop get here, pushing myself till it hurt! Training alone for hours! Anything to get stronger! To reach my dream.' Naruto thought inwardly as he began to speak out loud.
"I will never back down again and let someone else rescue me. I will never run away and I will not lose to Sasuke. Upon this wound, I make this pledge, believe it. I'll complete this mission and protect you with this Kunai knife. A real ninja never gives up and nether will I. Don't you guy's worry about me, I'll be just fine, now let's go." Exclaimed Naruto.
"Naruto" Growled Raiden as he walked up and hit his brother over the head, sending into the ground. "You idiot! What are you, a masochist? Aizen, close this thing before my fucking brother bleeds out." Sighed Raiden as Aizen bandaged the wound, not noticing the steam coming off as he healed.
They quickly finished and continued onwards with the mission soon afterwards, never seeing the contemplative looks on their sensei's faces
Somewhere in the Land of waves
You failed! You failed!" Screamed a short man wearing a suit he quickly continued on his rant as he faced the kneeling figures and a man sitting on a couch. "What is this amateur night! I put out big money for you! I thought you were supposed to be hot shot assassins."
The man sitting on the couch gripped the handle of the 6' on his shoulder as he lifted it up. "Stop whining" The man quickly suddenly swung the enormous blade so that it was just inches in front of the midget's neck. "This time, I'll go personally. And this sword will be the last thing he ever see's."
"You sure about that?" Questioned the man, fear evident in his voice. "Apparently Tazuna has a high level ninja guarding him. And since your first attempt failed they'll be expecting you back. They'll be waiting, watching. It'll take someone with very advanced skills" Said the man, gaining back his arrogant tone as he continued to talk.
"Who do you think you're dealing with?" Questioned the sitting man as he continued to hold the blade to the man's neck with little effort. "I am Zabuza Momochi, the demon of the hidden mist"
