Six months after Uzumaki arrive in Konoha:
Kira, Shiro, and Karin were all walking towards the academy with Naruto nowhere to be seen. They didn't know where he was, but they didn't worry about him in honesty. In the six months that the Uzumaki had arrived they had taught him man different things, including the Uzukai taijutsu style, which consisted of quick and agile spiral like motions that was like flowing with the wind. The Hyuga in many cases had accused the Uzumaki of 'copying the Juken stance' ,but it was honestly the other way around. The Uzumaki had been around a lot longer then the Hyuga in a clan environment, and the Uzukai was the base for Juken. Of course the Hyuga didn't believe it and they continued to think that they were superior compared to 'the low born fools' know as the Uzumaki. Of course the only Hyuga that the three Uzumaki knew that wasn't like that was Hinata and she seemed to actually struggle with the Juken in a way that seemed like she was doing something that her body didn't want.
When Kira saw that she almost right away decided to talk to Hinata about it. As she asked Hinata questions about the Juken that were not invasive about the actual style of fighting she found out that the Juken actually wasn't natural or correct for Hinata. After a few more questions Kira told Hinata to channel some chakra into a piece of paper that she had with her. When Hinata did, it became unsurprising when the paper ripped in half.
"It's just like I was thinking. Hinata the Juken is based for an earth style isn't it?" Kira asked nicely to Hinata.
"H-hai. B-but what d-does t-that have t-to do w-with t-that paper?" Hinata asked.
"Your a wind affinity. The Juken is hard for you because it is more for an earth type. Do you get what I'm saying?" Kira explainer with a soft tone.
"B-but if I don't l-learn the J-Juken t-then-" Hinata started, but Kira interrupted her.
"Don't worry about expectations. If you worry about them you'll never grow. It may take awhile, but I think you should make a new fighting style by incorporating agility and speed instead of solid blows and strong stances." Kira said with a smile.
Hinata took it to heart and not even two months later, Hinata had started to use the new style of the Juken at she had created. It was obviously still a work in progress, but it was also obvious that it was by far better for her then the other style. In honor of the Uzumaki who helped her even Hinata called it the Uzuken (spiral fist), not to be mistaken for Uzukai. The styles were similar as well, but not the same. The biggest difference was the the Uzuken focused on quick movements and speed, while it still did use spiraling movements to dodge, or get behind the enemy. The Uzukai on the other hand was completely spiral movements that also mixed in solid hits, speed, and a couple of other factors that were hard to see.
The first time Hinata used the in progress version of the Uzuken it was against Kiba Inuzuka. After first Kiba, as always, boasted about how he had gotten better and that he was going to win. That was quickly shut down when Hinata spiraled to the right out of the way of the punch Kiba sent, and she hit the three major Tenketsu on his back, temporarily paralyzing him. The whole school yard was silent at the fight that didn't even last four seconds as Iruka slowly stated that Hinata had won in an unbelieving tone. After that Kira had confronted her about the fighting style, and Hinata told her.
"I w-watched you a-and the o-other Uzumaki f-fight, a-and it seemed smooth. I I-incorporated t-things I s-saw you d-do into it... I-I'm sorry if I -shouldn't h-have." Hinata stated in an apologetic tone.
"No! No it's fine really. It's just I didn't expect that. It's a good idea, but you should incorporate more of the Juken into it so that you can still have quick and solid strikes with your quick movements." Kira stated with a smile which Hinata returned slightly.
In honesty, Hinata was a lot better then she was thinking she was, but that didn't help that she was lacking in self confidence. With Kira's help though she did help Hinata enough that she didn't care about what the elders of her clan thought about her. What surprised Kira though was the fact that her mother had picked her up at one point from school. While Kira didn't express it, she knew her own mother had something to do with it. In honesty it was a good thing, as hanabi, who had joined her mother, acted nicer to Hinata then what was normal in the original timeline. With a soft, but sad smile, Kira walked away from the area after saying goodbye to Hinata.
Getting back to the present however, today was the day of graduation. Kira had noticed multiple times that one of the teachers was Sabotaging Naruto's test's, and she was determined to stop the teacher this time. After teaching Naruto how to get out of illusions she told him to be careful today. The only problem now though was the fact that Naruto was nowhere to be seen. With a deep from on her face, Kira walked into the school, and the second she did, she, along with the other two Uzumaki who were accompanying her, had been grabbed by their ankles, before they were pelted with paintballs. By the time they were done, all three of the Uzumaki were hanging upside down colored bright blue, pink, and green respectively.
"Naruto~..." Kira said in a sing-song voice that promised pain when she got him.
After a couple of minutes, and a change of clothes, Kira, Karin, and Shiro had all walked in with a beaten up Naruto tied up behind them. When Iruka saw that, he sweat dropped and asked "What did he do this time?"
"Painted me green, Kira pink, and Shiro blue. He deserved it this time." Karin stated with a angry tone.
Iruka laughed nervously at that. It was a known fact that you don't mess with an Uzumaki, especially a female Uzumaki, unless you want pain. That said Iruka nervously said "J-just take your seats so we can begin the tests."
Kira sighed at his tone, but did nothing else as the other two walked to their seats and she did so as well. She didn't know what the test was going to be about, the she did know that she was going to do. She was going to make sure that no matter what Naruto passed. As far as she was concerned it didn't matter if she passed, but it did if Naruto passed.
"Alright. The first test is a written test. Once you are finished come outside so we can perform the Taijutsu part of the test." Iruka stated as he started to pass out the written test.
Once all the tests were passed out, Kira noticed Naruto flare his chakra just enough that he wouldn't be noticed by anyone but the Uzumaki, but also enough that he dispelled a genjutsu that was on his test paper. He must have not known that there was a genjutsu on his paper, but Kira had told him to perform the release in case there was one. In honesty thought, the test was really easy for anyone who remotely paid attention to the class. It was really easy for the rest of class to the point that Shiro, the resident Uzumaki tactics genius, who could give a Nara a run for their money, had finished almost a minute after the test had begun. Karin quickly followed as the third person to finish right behind Sakura Haruno. The test dragged on to the point that the last one to finish of the group that would eventually become the rookie twelve due to the addition of Uzumaki's, was Shikamaru, but that was only because he didn't want to work that hard.
Once everyone had finished with that part of the test, it was time for the next part. When everyone was finally out Iruka said "Alright. Next is the Taijutsu part. First up Uzumaki karin, V.S. Uzumaki Shiro."
Karin, who heard Shiro's name, groaned and said "I have to fight Shiro? Great... Does this test decide if we pass or fail Iruka-sensei?"
Iruka, who was confused as to why she was asking, said "Um... No it doesn't, why?"
"Because I'm going to lose." Karin said simply as she walked towards the fighting circle, while pushing her glasses up.
Shiro nervously walked up as well, before they boy looked towards each other and bowed. Once Iruka started the match, Karin rushed forward as she tried to attack him quickly. Shiro then, by what the others saw, barely dodged, before he moved in a circle and hit her in the back with both elbows. Karin stumbled forward a few feet, but she tumbled and spun on her back to face Shiro again. With a frown on both of their faces, Karin carefully walked forward again, but Shiro rushed this time and even before she moved, he ducked under her fist, and hit her three times in the stomach with palm strikes. While she was trying to recover, he moved forward once again and hit her in the chest with a palm strike, which in turn knocked her over. Shiro then finally jumped onto her stomach and put a fist a few inches from her head.
The whole fight ended in a little more then twenty seconds, but it left everyone, aside from Kira, speechless. Iruka, who was the first of the teachers to recover, said "That's enough. Shiro... Why don't you show this much effort in normal classes?"
Shiro, who had just gotten off of Karin, reverted back to his shy self as he said "B-because I know s-she can h-handle it. I d-don't like f-fighting allies."
Iruka left it at that as he said "Alright, you two can go. Next is Uchiha Sasuke-" when he said that a majority of the girls yelled about 'Sasuke-kun beating everyone', but Iruka just grumbled before he continued "V.S. Uzumaki Kira."
Kira walked up to the gym fighting circle, ignoring all of the insults from the girls in the crowd, just as Sasuke walked to the other side. With a small how Kira said "Let's do our best."
Sasuke simply glared at her as he said "Just shut up and get ready to lose."
When he said that Karin, who was in the crowd, said "He really shouldn't have said that."
Kira's whole demeanor shifted when he said that. Within a second her soft and gentle personality, turned into a cold, hard, and ridged warriors demeanor. Without saying anything she got into her Uzukai stance and made the 'bring it' motion with her right hand. Sasuke took the bait from that as he ran forward with a lot of speed and sent a punch towards her head. In response she spiraled to the right before doing the splits to dodge and overhead kick. She then fell backwards and spun like a top on her hands, and kicking Sasuke two times, thus sending him flying. Once she stood up she had to moved her head to right, as Sasuke sent another punch to her head, but she couldn't react fast enough to the second punch, which hit her in the stomach.
Once she slid back a couple of feet, she noticed the condescending smirk that he had that showed he thought he was above her. With a scowl this time she simply walked forward, before she literally fell backwards avoiding a punch, but right before she hit the ground she kicked off with her feet in just the right way that she was spinning almost like a gatsūga (fang over fang), but instead of cutting her fist plowed right into Sasuke's stomach in a not so gentle way. The blow didn't completely put him out of the fight, but it was enough to hinder him, as she ran at him and sent a flying kick into his head, while off in the distance a shout of 'Youth' could be heard.
"Enough!" Iruka yelled at the two when Sasuke fell to the ground from the kick "that was a bit much don't you think?"
Kira gave a blank look towards Iruka as she walked away without saying anything. She continued to stay neutral towards everything, despite the insults that were hurled her way by the rest of the girls in the class. Eventually she turned back into her normal self, but that was after karin and Shiro calmed her down enough. Hinata was the second most surprised by the behavior that she was shown, with Naruto being the first. It really was shocking to see at first that her friend becoming cold like that, but then she realized that Sasuke was looking down on Kira, and by extension, all Kunoichi. Hinata didn't voice it, but she agreed with what Kira did.
"Anyway... Next is Hyuga Hinata vs Uzumaki Naruto." Iruka stated.
The result of the fight was honestly a tie, as Hinata kept outmaneuvering Naruto, but she refused to do so much more then tap him at times. Naruto on the other hand could only get glancing blows on Hinata, but that was About it. After awhile of nothing happening, Iruka called the match a tie. It honestly showed that Naruto had gotten a lot better then before, but he still had a ways to go before he was a proficient at the Uzukai as the rest of the clan was.
After that match was done it went on to the rest of the class with the highlights being the fight between Shikamaru and Choji, who both Gave half hearted attacks towards each other, and Ino vs Sakura, where this Sakura was more serious about her career and she beat Ino down with a direct punch to Ino's skull. Though after that, before anything else could happen a voice yelled "INCOMING!"
A few seconds later a red blur crashed into the ground right in the middle of the fighting area. From in the smoke a loud, but familiar voice, said "Whew! Thought I would hit a couple of Genin for a second there!"
Once the smoke cleared the area produced a small crater in the center of the sparing circle. In the circle whoever was a very familiar person, who Shiro paled at as he slowly asked "M-mom?!"
Kunia Uzumaki looked around for a couple of seconds before she spotted the group of four Uzumaki. With a large grin on her face she said "Kira! Karin! Shiro! It's been awhile hasn't it?"
With a sweatdrop and a nervous smile Kira said "Um... Kunia... You... Interrupted our exams..."
Kunia blinked a couple of times as if she just noticed the two surprised chunin instructors, as well as all the genin hopefuls around her. With a couple of seconds in thought, she laughed loudly as she said "Ahahaha! I'm sorry about that...?"
Iruka realizing what she wanted said "Iruka. I'm Iruka and this is mizuki. We're chunin instructors for the kids."
"Nice to meet Ya!" Kunia stated with a nice guy pose that was familiar to anyone who had met Guy, which also caused another shout of 'youth' to be heard "As is kinda obvious, I'm Shiro's mother. We can talk about his school progress later though. Right now I need to get to the Hokage's office. I kinda got off course. Oh and Kira. I was told to tell you 'The red, the mist, and the turtle will meet at the wave'. Anyway. See Ya."
It wasn't as obvious to the rest of he students, but when Kunia said that, Kira knew exactly what it meant. it roughly ment that her mother was waiting in Nami no Kuni for her along with whatever team she gets sent on. That honestly gave more of a resolve for her goals, as she now knew where her mother was, and she was bound and determined to talk to her mother again, along with getting her mother to come home with her. Even if she didn't 'belong' here it didn't mean anything. She was going to do whatever she needed to, to get to Nami no kuni.
"Anyway, getting away from our current interruption, we now need to go over the jutsu part of the test." Iruka said, getting everyone's attention "The test will be on the Bushin jutsu."
Kira, at this point, started to curse herself out. She had forgotten about the bushin part of the test! All three of the other Uzumaki knew the Kage bushin, but Naruto didn't! That meant he was going to fail, and- wait. This could end up as a good thing. For one it could help bring Hinata and Naruto closer, as well as having Naruto understand that having a beast inside of you didn't mean that you were evil, I mean looking at herself, Kira understood that she wasn't a demon just because she was a jinchuriki.
With a small sigh, Kira told the other two about her plan, and they almost immediately agreed. They both knew about the fact that her mother knew about things in the future, that and they agreed that Naruto and Hinata would look good together. Sure they didn't like the fact that Naruto wouldn't pass, but they understood why they had to leave him be. As it was not only because of the fact that if he didn't then he wouldn't find out about they Kyubi, and he wouldn't find out the truth about Mizuki.
Once the actual tests were done all three of the Uzumaki tried to comfort Naruto, but he wouldn't have it as he said that they were just like everyone else. That actually pushed Kira over the edge as she slapped Naruto and said "You think your the only one who feels like they aren't wanted? Think again. Maybe you'll find that someone cares for you more then you think."
Naruto shrunk under her glare, but it didn't last long as she turned and left without even looking back. When Naruto looked at Karin, she glared at him as well, before she ran off as well after Kira. Shiro was all that was left, and he said "Y-you've g-got it good c-compared to t-their c-childhood... I-I'll talk to y-you later N-Naruto."
Naruto just stared as the Shiro ran after the two female Uzumaki and he was left to think over what had just occurred. With an even deeper sad look, he walked away and ended up right in front of Mizuki. The bait was set.
