Now. The biggest principle in this clan is family before strength, correct? Well you need to understand. Family is strength. They help you get stronger do that you can protect each other~ Shiba Uzumaki to a 5 year old Kira uzumaki
It had been a week after everyone got back to Konoha from the wave mission. In that time, Kakashi, and Shiba had gotten used to the fact that their family/teachers had switched genders. Minato, decided that the name Mina would be fine, while it wasn't to original, she wanted some connection to her old name so Mina was fine. Kushina, on the other hand, decided that the name Kuon was a good idea. Most of the time people called him Ko, so the name kuon was irrelevant, but he needed an official name. The only time that both of them were flustered, was when Shiba gained a suggestive look and told them that they could have a 'first time' again, and that Mina didn't know just how bad it was for a woman.
When it came to the other members of the joint team, they were given a cover story, instead of the original, and they also stated that Mina, was a Namikaze as well, so anything that minato had, she would be allowed to have as well. Course, with the gender change, the DNA sequence of Mina's was not exactly the same as Minato's. By this point, the two had also accepted that they were no longer who they used to be, even if they accepted themselves as Naruto's parents still, as well as Naruto doing the same towards him. Though he did get really embarrassed the second they were back, when both of his parents gave him the talk. By the end of that conversation, he realized that his crush for Sakura, was stupid, though he still liked her in a friendly sense, but his eyes opened up to what Kira and Shiba were trying to say to him about Hinata. He didn't think he was ready for a relationship yet, but he did tell, Hinata, that he was more than willing to date her once, he was ready. Hinata's immediate response was to faint, before she got back up not to much later, and kissed Naruto full on. It surprised the boy, but he did respond back.
After that Kira had said that she was happy that the two finally got together, much to the embarrassment of the two, and their protests about how they were going to wait. Kira just gave a happy nod, before she threatened to neuter Naruto if he tried anything with Hinata without her consent. Hinata fainted from the implications of the words, while Naruto just paired and nodded to her about the fact that he wouldn't try anything. Well that and the fact that Shiba threatened to do the same thing if he tried to force himself on any woman. Needless to say, that particular day was full of 'happy' conversations that left Naruto in tears about how everyone was against him in the relationship. He pailed even more, though, when Kira reminded him of Hinata's father, who was the clan head of the Uzumaki. She had told the whole clan about how Hinata's parents still cared for her, and that the elders were the ones responsible for her banishment. That said, it meant that Her parents were still debating whether or not certain things would be good for their daughter.
The day Hiruzen had been introduced to the new versions of the fourth and spouse, it was amusing for anyone who was watching. Hiruzen started by questioning the two, to see if they were who they said they were. Next he started to cry in joy at the fact that both of them were alive and well again. Lastly he started to cuss out Mina for leaving him with so much paperwork, even though he had learned the secret of defeating the cursed enemy. In all it was very amusing to see, even though Ko decided to intervene before the third tried to attack Mina.
Currently, however, Mina and Ko were watching as the four Uzumaki in the rookie 12, a name given to the fact that all of the newly graduated genin were going to be in the chūnin exams, were training with each other, while Shiba was looking at the caged bird seal, that Kira was trying to make a counter seal for.
"Karin! Blitzkrieg!" Kira yelled as she was starting to form hand seals for a water Ninjutsu.
Karin nodded in response as she started hand seals for a lighting jutsu. When the two finished their hand seals they yelled "Suiton: Mizu Tatsumaki(1)!/Raiton: Raikyu(2)!"
The two attacks hit each other dead on, while also hitting the other two Uzumaki in the area, sending them into a twister of water, that was soon charged with lightning. Thankfully for the two who got hit, this was only practice, and not a real fight, so the two that got his, were actually shadow clones, to test the destructive power a collaboration technique could deal. The two supervising this, was of course Mina and Ko, but the two had also stated that the genin needed to be carful, Uzumaki or not.
Mina, seeing that the attack was finished, walked over to the four genin, and said "You see what a collaboration technique can do? This is part of the reason why teams are mode of four, and not any less. If you can get four people together that have abilities to match each other, you can have a destructive force that can take down most people's defenses. Take Kira's mother, and Shiro's mother. Those two, together, we're more dangerous then me by myself. That being said, those two are masters of water and lighting element manipulation. Me myself, I am an expert in wind manipulation. Do you understand?"
The genin nodded, and Min started them up on teamwork exercises involving collaboration techniques. Normally, none of them would want to deal with teamwork exercises, but considering what it was they were teaching, it didn't come as a surprise that they were willing to sit down, shut up, and learn what they were being told. It also didn't come as a surprise when the two groups started to deal massive damage to the landscape. Guess it was a good thing they were in a remote are behind the village, instead of in the actual village.
Once the actual training was done, a loud growl came from Shiba, as she finished looking over all of the components of the caged bird seal. With a single punch after that, she uprooted a tree "Damn Hyuga basterds! Those elders are idiots, and so is whoever came up with this seal! They obviously can't see that they are causing more harm then good!"
Mina looked at the seal in slight confusion, before she looked at it in disgust as well "Shen I was Hokage, I tried to reason with the Hyuga's about this... Seal, for lack of a better word. I'll help whenever I can to make a counter seal to this thing, but I won't be able to as much, since I have duties at home that I need to learn. I've never actually cooked much more then eggs before."
Ko sighed at his wife's statement "That's because you usually ate take-out. It's not healthy to eat so much take-out, and I'm going to need to regulate Naruto's ramen consumption as well, I love the stuff just as much as he does, but if that's all he eats, no wonder he's so short."
Everyone in the clearing, except Naruto, laughed at that stamens while Karin said "It's true. Everyone in this clearing is taller the. You Naruto. You need to eat healthy if you want to be tall."
Shiro gave a nod as well before he said "W-well, you c-can't really b-blame him though. C-considering h-how he grew u-up and a-all."
Kira nodded and said "True, true. But your going to eat healthier now aren't you Naruto?"
Naruto gave a quick nod towards Kira, as she gave him a sweet smile that promised pain if he disobeyed. It was an interesting sight to see and Ko elbowed his sister while saying "Guess she takes after mom just like I do."
Shiba gave her brother a blank look as she said "That's what I'm worried about Ko. You know how mom was. Imagine if Kira becomes like that when she's older?"
The two thought about it for not even a full second, before they both shivered, causing Mina to stifle a laugh at their reactions. It was honestly a nice sight to see when you thought about it. Ko with her family again, and both of them happy with their son. While Naruto still gained glares every now and again, it stopped when Ko had walked with his son to the hokage's tower, and when he noticed someone glaring at Naruto, she glared back with equal force, that also had some killing intent in the gaze. The same thing happened when Mina walked through Konoha, but her killing intent was given through a way to sweet smile, that seemed to send shivers down everyone's spines.
When Kurenai had signed everyone up for the chunk exams, she had also stated that the teams were supposed to be at most teams of 3 so that meant that the other sensei's a
Had agreed to let Mina, who was apparently Jōnin rank, to nominate the three Uzumaki into a team together. Kira didn't complain about it, and it seemed the other two didn't either, but this was the reason why they were training together, though Naruto was there so he could learn some Fūinjutsu that could help him during the actual exams.
When the three Uzumaki walked into the academy where the first part of the exams where, they were all excited in their own way. Kira, being used to leading, was in the front with a small smile on her face, but she kept a cautious hand on Her sword. Karin, who was wearing something similar to Kira, except it was more red then anything, was beside her with a tired look on her face, as well as a yawn starting to form. Finally Shiro, who had a plain blue hoodie, and a pair of jeans was walking beside them with a nervous look that his his excitement for being able to take the exams.
The first thing they noticed was the fact that everyone was crowded around a single door, that said 301, but that wasn't actually the case. All three Uzumaki were extremely observant, something they gained from a life on the run, and they all knew that they had only gone up on flight of stairs, showing they were on the second floor. Not saying anything, Kira motioned for them to walk away towards the next floor without even looking at anyone else. Before they could however, one of the boys in front of the door jumped in front of them "Where do you think your going?"
Kira gave a bland look towards the obviously disguised chūnin "The next floor, where else? Does this hallway lead anywhere else?"
"Your here to take the exams aren't you?" The other one asked, still standing front of the door.
"I don't think that's any of your buisness. Besides, if someone can't see through this obvious trick, then why should they be in the chūnin exams?" She stated, before she walked away with a wave of her hand.
Everyone in the hallway, just watched as the three redheads walked away without even looking back. The next thing that happened, however, was what made everyone weary of the three redheads. One of the disguised chūnin grunted before he sent a kick straight at Kira. The next second, no one knew what happened, but the discussed chūnin was on the ground, with a sword against his neck, while two Kunai, were above his eyes, held by Shiro and Karin. The sword held its eerie purple glow to it, as the sword stayed on his neck.
"Now that was just a stupid move. By your standards we are way above chūnin in power. By our clans standards, were grunts in power. Know your enemy before you attack" Kira stated, before she lifted her sword and sheathed it, while the other two put the Kunai back into their weapons pouch's.
The group of three walked away at this point, no one stopping them, and instead kept their distance from the three Uzumaki, that had proved that they were a treat in this years exams. Though they had done what they were hoping for, the three didn't feel happy, as it seemed that there were a lot of people that were stupid, when it came to this exam, as they didn't do anything to show that they knew there was a genjutsu there. When the group made it to the room where the exams were, the ignored the looks that everyone gave them, and waited near the front row, so they knew who was coming in. Eventually Neji, and Tenten had walked in, and almost right away, Neji walked up to Kira.
"Kira." Neji stated in his normal tone, though he seemed to be happy to see her.
"Neji." Kira stated in an equally normal tone, that was still happy.
"Have you finished it yet?" Neji asked in his normal tone, though there was an obvious hint of hope in his pale eyes.
"Not yet, but the whole calm is working together to figure it out. These two are helping as well." She stated while motioning to Shiro, who shrunk under Neji's gaze, and karin, who looked at him in mild interest.
"Do you know her Neji?" Tenten asked with a confused look.
"Yes. I've seen her in the Hyuga compound once, as well as on the streets." Neji stated.
"In essence though, my whole clan is trying to help a few caged birds spread their wings." Kira stated with a knowing look towards Neji and Tenten.
She didn't know if Tenten knew about the caged bird seal, but it didn't matter. Neji just gave a small nod towards Kira in recognition towards what she was trying to do. Kira didn't know it, but Neji was more then grateful for the Work that she was doing for his clan. There were more then a few people that were hoping to get the seal off of their forehead. If it actually worked as well, then it would allow a small coup within the clan, so that things could change for the better. Hiashi, and his family, would end up unharmed, as they were actually planning with Hizashi, even if Hanabi didn't know it to get rid of the caged bird seal.
Neji walked past Kira and went towards where he was going to sit, while he said "We should get ready. We don't know what this test will be about after all. This test is deferent every time."
Kira just gave a nod before she leaned back in a way that was similar to Shikamaru going to sleep. When she heard some yelling, however, she was woken up to the sight of the team's 7, 8, and 10 all arguing about something. With a deep from, Kira walked up to them just as a silver haired leaf genin said "Hey, you guys should be more quiet. You guys are rookies just out of the academy, right? Screaming like school girls... Jeez. This isn't a picnic."
"Who are you?" Sakura asked with a suspicious tone.
"I'm Kabul, but instead why don't you look behind you." He stated and they did to see all the other genin glaring at them " Those guys behind you are from Amegakure, and they have short tempers. Quiet down before you cause a scene. Well, I can't blame you, because your clueless rookies, kinda reminds me of how I used to be."
"Kabuto right?" Kira asked, as she walked behind the group, making all of them jump "Is this your second time?"
"Nope. This is my seventh. These exams are held twice a year, so this is my fourth year. Why don't I help you a bit with these Nin-info cards. Basically they are cards that have info burned into them with chakra." Kabuto explained, before he pulls out one card that was blank "They look blank, but when I use a bit of chakra, they have info on them."
The first thing that popped up was a graph chart that showed how many Shinobi from each village were here for the exams. Kira, begrudgingly accept that they were useful, but when Sasuke asked "Do you have info on individual's?"
"Of course. Why? Are you worried about someone in these exams?" Kabuto asked with a raised eyebrow "of course I even have info on you guys, even if it is incomplete."
"Gaara of the sands, Rock lee of Konoha, and Kira Uzumaki of Konoha." Sasuke stated while getting a narrow eyed look at him from the Uzumaki group.
"Ah, you know their names, it shouldn't be to hard." Kabuto stated before he pulled out three cards.
The first card showed showed Lee, and Kabuto said "Ok, first is rock lee. He's a year older then you. Mission history: he's completed 20 D-ranks and 12 C-ranks. His sensei is Maito Gai, and his Taijutsu has improved greatly, but nothing much else. Last year he gained attention as a talented new Genin, but he didn't participate in the exams, his teammates are Neji Hyuga and Tenten."
He then pulled out a card that had Gaara on it "Gaara of the sands. 8 C-ranks and, wow, a B Rank as a genin. Since he's a foreigner I don't have much info on him, but he's come from every mission without a scratch."
Finally he pulled out a card that had Kira on it "Kira Uzumaki, 18 D-rank missions and a C-rank, not bad for a rookie. She's the daughter of... Wow. She the daughter of the red mist of Uzu, an S-rank Kunoichi from wave country before it was destroyed. I have literally nothing on her when it comes to her abilities in Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and Genjutau, but it is noted at she is a master of Kenjutsu, and at such a young age. Her teammates are Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Uzumaki, who was formerly a Hyuga, and Shino Aburame, but during these exams she's teaming up with Shiro Uzumaki, and Karin Uzumaki."
Everyone who didn't know what she was capable of, just looked towards her with a new light, even some of the people that had eased roped on the conversation. Anyone who could see her face, would have expected her to be frowning about being found out, but instead she had a large smile on her face while she had a hand on her sword "I'm not to worried , if that's what you were thinking I was. I keep myself a secret for a reason, and I'm sure not to many people have heard about my mom. But as for my dad... Heh. That'll stay a secret for now. Just remember Kabuto, having an Uzumaki as an enemy could be your undoing."
Kabuto gulped at the implication, before he said "A-anyway, some many villages are here, but then there is also the new village of Otogakure. They are a new village so they are small, so there isn't very much info on them. Each of the hidden villages have talented youngsters here, that said it means people like Gaara and Lee are the elite genin of their villages. This isn't going to be easy."
Kira gave a small laugh at that "Trust me when I say this, more then half of these genin won't make it to the third round, some won't even make it back home. This isn't a game. You come here giving your all, or you go home with your tail between your legs."
Karin laughed a bit as well as she said "You rookies are going to have to give it your all if you want to make it you know."
Shiro finished up for the other to by saying in a cold tone and without a stutter "The chances of all of the rookies here to get to the third round is less then 15%. The chances of All of us passing the first test is even lower."
Kira gave one last nod, before all three of them spread out so that they could be in different areas as well as passing information between the three was easy for them. The Uzumaki, while they were on the run, had to have incredibly discreet ways of passing info between clan members. They didn't know what the test was going to be like, but they could still pass info between each other so that they could help with the test.
Kira watched in interest when Naruto yelled that he wasn't going to lose to anyone in the room. Seems like the chūnin exams are going to be really interesting.
So what did you guys think?
Ok to anyone who doesn't like the fact I genderbent Minato and Kushina, it's for a reason. Like I explained with the seal, things can't be the same between them and their previous selves. Instead of messing with how they look, which would still make them the same person just looking slightly different, I put it so that they had changed genders, for 1: so no one can recognize them 2: Minato was speed based before, now she will be even fast 3: Kushina was like Naruto, chargin in head first 4: just because I wanted to be a troll.
On to other buisness. I put up a knew poll. This one involves Shiba instead of Kira, and I have an option where I will start a new poll of you guys don't like the options. This is all I have to say for now.
(1): Mizu Tatsukmaki=water dragon twister.
(2): Raikyu: lightening ball.
