The Sister of Madara Uchiha
Hey guys I'm back with another chapter. I'm glad everyone gave me their honest opinion and like the fact that my version is a lot better than the former authors. Also there will be no coup against Konoha from the Uchiha Clan they are good in this fic. As for Sasuke, he will be arrogant in this fic and will hate Naruto and you can all guess why. Now then here is the next chapter.

Chapter 4: Friends, Enemies, and Training pt. 2
3 years have passed since Naruto entered the academy and already he was above the other students but he never let it go to his head but instead trained even harder. His training has improved a lot thank to Himegami's and Ichigo's training. When he turned 10, Himegami decided to start teaching him the basics in fuinjutsu and had him read about the designs and complexity of different seals before having him work on intermediate seals.
The female Uchiha was impressed to see how well adapted he was in understanding seals and how they operated but then again, he was the son of the man who created a jutsu that allowed him to wipe out an entire army in the blink of an eye. So far the young blonde was intermediate at best but had a long ways to go before he could be on par with his former mother or Minato for that matter.
Speaking of which at first Naruto was angry and confused why the man would condemn him to such a life without knowing the repercussions of his actions but after having it explained by Himegami and Ichigo from their point of view he started to understand a little more.
Also there were times when Kakashi and Rin would visit the young blonde and talk to him about what kind of person Minato was like when they were his students and even talked about the powerful shinobi that came from Konoha and other nations like Kakashi's father Sakumo Hatake for example.
Naruto was really interested in knowing about the Shiroi no Kiba (White Fang) who was said to be even stronger than the Sannin. During those three years, Kakashi and Rin had a baby girl whom they named Takara. She looked like Rin with the difference being that she had silver grey hair like her dad but was in the same style as her mother's and had her eyes.
The little girl was a ball of energy much to her parent's surprise and was always curious. When they brought her over, Takara was instantly attached to Naruto and called him Naruto-nii. Right now the three were at the Kurosaki Complex where Rin was playing with Takara while Naruto and Kakashi watched.
"Hey aniki." Naruto spoke up.
"Yeah?" Kakashi asked reading the latest edition of Icha Icha which made the blonde sweat drop.
"From what I heard, you possessed a fully mature Sharingan in your left eye." The blonde stated which made the man lower the book and look at his surrogate little brother.
"Yes I do why?" The Copy Ninja asked.
Well I was just curious why you always covered it up?" Naruto asked Kakashi who eye smiled.
"That's because I got it from my friend Obito Uchiha as a parting gift. Rin was the one who transplanted it into the eye I lost when we went to go look for her when she was kidnapped by an Iwa-nin. I can use it but I have a limit since it takes a lot of chakra from me plus there's the fact that I'm not an Uchiha by blood like you and your mother are so I can't use it at its fullest. I heard you gained a fully mature Sharingan during the blood ritual she performed to make you her son in blood." Kakashi said getting a nod from the blonde and he activated his Sharingan.
Kakashi whistled lowly while Naruto deactivated his eyes. "That's pretty amazing."
"Yeah. Kaa-san showed me how to use it the correct way and not just to copy other's jutsu. No offense to you though." He said while the man chuckled.
"None taken otouto. I only copied the techniques of my enemies and from my comrades with their permission of course." He replied.
"So that's how you got over a thousand jutsu in your arsenal. Do you think you can teach me a few of them?" He asked with a grin on his face while Kakashi eye smiled and nodded.
"Sure. Say how far in your training are you?" Kakashi asked.
"Me? Well I already got the tree walking and water walking exercise down, I know my elemental affinities which are all the main elements and sub elements due to my body based bloodline and I'm also learning how to use different weapon varieties. My Tou-san Ichigo is teaching me his form of taijutsu and kenjutsu as well as techniques he created and I'm learning fuinjutsu from my Kaa-san." He answered which cause Kakashi to go wide eyed and drop his book until he snapped out of his stupor and rub the back of his head.
"Wow Naruto you keep this up and you'll more than likely be at Itachi's level by the time you graduate." He stated while Naruto shrugs and that was when he was glomped by 3 year old Takara.
Naruto-nii." She squealed out while the blonde chuckles and picks her up while standing up. Rin walks over to the two and sighs.
"What's up squirt? Are being a good girl for your Kaa-san and Tou-san?" He asked while Takara nodded her hair enthusiastically.
"Uh huh. Takara-chan's a good girl." She said with a big grin on her face while he placed her on his shoulders. She wrapped her legs around his neck and buried her face into his hair. "Nii-chan's hair is so soft." She said which made the blonde blush a little while Rin giggles and Kakashi snickers.
"Well isn't that cute?" Said a voice and the three looked up to see Ichigo on the rooftop crouching down and grinning. "Hey Kakashi-san, Rin-chan." The two married couple waved back at him.
"Tou-san? Where's Kaa-san?" He asked his step father.
"Himegami-chan? Oh she went out of the village to get a few things she kept hidden and should be back later on today." He answered and then hopped off the roof and landed next to Naruto and Takara. Said silver haired girl looked up at the man's hair and grinned.
"Hi Uncle Strawberry." She said cheekily which made Ichigo stumble over at being called a strawberry. Kakashi chuckled, Rin giggled, and Naruto laughed and said orange haired Kurosaki glared at the trio and rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment but then walked over to Takara and ruffles her hair.
"Real cute kid." He replied with a small smile while Takara giggled.
"Hey Naruto-nii can we get some ice cream huh can we?" She asked and gave her parents the puppy eyes and pouted.
"Yes you can go Takara-chan but you have to stick with your and Naruto, make sure she doesn't get stuck in a tree like she did the last time." Rin instructed due to the fact that when Naruto took her to the park she ended up climbing a tree but when she looked down, she freaked out and started to cry her eyes out. Naruto managed to get her down from the tree and calm the scared girl down.
"Okay. Let's go nii-san." Takara said excitedly bouncing up and down on the blonde's shoulders.
"Hey hey now calm down squirt." Naruto said humorously. "I'll be back later on tou-san." Ichigo smirks and waves him off.
"Sure thing kiddo just be sure you come back before the lights come on or your mother will have my head." He said back while the blonde snickers and heads out with Takara on his shoulders.
In the market district, Naruto was carrying a happy Takara who was on his shoulders eating an Ice Cream Cone on his shoulders. Most of the civilians that saw him either had looks of surprise or shame on their face due to the fact that most of them had treated the boy wrong when he was younger thinking he was the nine tails and that they dishonored their late Yondaime's wish for him to be seen as a hero.
Some were neutral because they didn't know how to react towards the boy. "You enjoying that cone Takara-chan?" Naruto asked the 3 year old who nodded happily.
"Uh huh. Thank you for buying it for me Naruto-nii." She replied gratefully.
"You're welcome." He said and that was when Kakashi appeared.
"Yo Takara-chan it's time to head back home." He said and the girl pouted.
"Aww tou-san do we have to?" She whined performing the puppy eyes jutsu and got a nod from her dad.
"Sorry but yes. Thanks again for taking her out for ice cream Naruto." Kakashi replied as he took Takara off Naruto's shoulders.
"No problem Aniki. See ya later squirt." He said and got a goodbye wave from the girl and then Kakashi shunshins away. Naruto started to walk away but the next thing he knew, he was pulled into a bear hug by non other than Anko Mitarashi.
"Hey Yondaime-Gaki!" The grinning snake user said as she hugged the blonde close to her body.
"C-Can't B-breathe." He strained out but he manages to 'phase' out of the hug and then regain his breathing and glared at the snake using Kunoichi who was blinking in shock and surprise. "Please stop doing that Anko-chan." Naruto muttered.
"How did you do that?" Anko asked the blonde who smirks.
"My kaa-san taught me. Say where's Kurenai-chan?" Naruto asked as he looked around while Anko scowls and folds her arms.
"She'll be here soon. Say why are you always anxious to see the ice queen and not little old me? What I'm not pretty enough." She asked with a pout on her face.
"Because she doesn't try to use me for target practice." He replied as he folded his arms. Anko on the other hand smiles sheepishly.
"Oh come on now that only happened once and your mom said I could help you work in improving your reflexes." She stated and now Naruto had a tick mark on his head.
"She said teach me in improving my reflexes not turn me into a living pin cushion." He growled out glaring at the Snake user who shrugs which only ticked him off more and was tempted to use Tsukuyomi on the snake user.
"Hey whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger Yondaime-Gaki." She said nonchalantly.
"And what have I said about calling me that? I know I look like my old man but really it's starting to get annoying." Replied a peeved Naruto.
"Still harassing Naruto-kun huh Anko? Have you no shame?" asked a calm and feminine voice. They turned their heads to see Kurenai Yuhi. She had long and wild black hair, and very unique eyes that are red in color, with an additional ring in them. She was wearing the standard Konoha shinobi outfit with a flak jacket and a simple sleeveless red shirt and black fitting pants underneath it and standard shinobi sandals.
" Hey Nai-chan." Anko called out waving at the red haired beauty while the young blonde blushed a little and averted his gaze at a store. Anko saw this and her grin grew. "Man gaki I knew you had a crush on my best friend here but wow. Your face is close to matching an apple."
Naruto glared at the grinning snake user while Kurenai rolled her eyes but a small smile formed on her face. While she was known as the ice queen due to the fact that most men would only leer at her or ogle her body, Naruto was a different case and found it 'cute' that he developed a crush on her even though she was in her late teens especially when he drop kicked a drunken man in the face when he attempted to grope her rear and threaten to castrate another with a heated up pocket knife. "Anko knock it off. Hello Naruto-kun how are you doing today?" She asked in a warm and kind voice.
"Fine Kurenai-chan." He said still looking away which made Kurenai giggle at how he was acting. She especially remembered when Anko teased him about having Kurenai being taken by someone else when he was 9 years old and he proclaimed loudly that the only male good enough for Kurenai was him and he vowed to marry her one day which resulted in Anko falling to the ground laughing her ass off and Naruto and Kurenai were embarrassed due to the fact that he proclaimed that when they were at a store.
"Glad to hear that. So where are your parents at?" She asked.
"Oh dad is currently relaxing at the house and Kaa-san left the village to get a few things." He explained and saw a tuff of light brown hair sticking out behind Kurenai and he raised a brow.
"Hey Kurenai –chan who's that behind you?" Naruto asked the genjutsu user who blinks and turns around.
"It's alright Yakumo-chan, come out and introduce yourself." She gestures and uses her hand to gently push her in front so Naruto and Anko can get a good look at her. She was a little shorter than Naruto and had light brown hair that stopped to her mid back and light brown eyes. She was fair skinned and wore a purple Kunoichi outfit with a black sash wrapped around her waist as well as a mesh shirt and black ninja sandals.
"Hi. I'm Yakumo Kurama." She said shyly to Anko and Naruto.
"Aw how cute Kurenai got herself an apprentice." Anko cooed out only to be elbowed on the side by an annoyed Naruto.
"Quit it." Naruto retorted and walked over to the nervous girl. "Hey Yakumo-chan I'm Naruto Kurosaki and the lady with the bad fashion sense is Anko Mitarashi." He replied which caused Anko to stumble over and glare at the blonde while Yakumo and Kurenai giggled.
"I don't have a bad fashion sense! What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" She asked as she opened up her trench coat, revealing the mesh body that hugged her curved and well toned body like a second skin. Naruto blushed and pointed to his left and Anko blinked for a few seconds and looked over to where he was pointing at and sweat dropped when she saw most of the males passed out with puddles of blood seeping out their nose.
"Oh well they don't count because they're perverts." She said huffing up while Naruto shook his head and leaned over to Yakumo.
"Word of advice, stay away from her if you want to keep your sanity." He whispered which made her blink.
"Is she really that bad Naruto-kun?" She asked the blonde who nodded.
"I heard that gaki and no I'm not that bad!" Anko proclaimed. "I can be kind and nurturing like your girlfriend here." She stated with a smirk when she saw Naruto blush and glare at her.
"Kurenai-chan's not my girlfriend!" He yelled. 'yet'
"Anyways I didn't think you'd take an apprentice Kurenai-chan." Naruto stated and heard her sigh.
"I didn't either. I just hope I'm good enough to train her." The red eyed beauty said with doubt in her voice and apparently Naruto didn't like how she doubted herself.
"Good enough? You're one of the best ninja in the village like Kakashi-nii-san and Rin-nee-chan are. You'll make a great teacher for Yakumo-chan and anyone who says otherwise is just jealous of you." He stated with a grin on his face. Kurenai smiled at the praise he gave her and it was true since she was the best genjutsu users since her skills in the art rivaled that of the uchiha's and members of the Kurama clan.
" 'cough'kissup'cough'." Anko coughed and then leaps away when Naruto pulls out a black bokken(wooden sword) out a seal from his wrist where he keeps his weapons and attempts to hit her side and she lands on a rooftop grinning.
"I give you an A for effort but an F for your timing and precision Naru-chan." She jeered at the pissed of blond who had a dangerous grin on his face and his now activated sharingan eyes were twitching like crazy.
"Stay right where you are Anko Mitarashi." Naruto said in a calm yet deadly voice until Anko gave him a raspberry and shunshins away. Naruto then turns towards Kurenai and Yakumo eye smiling. "If you ladies will excuse me I have a snake to skin." He said and Shunpoed away.
They remained silent for awhile until Yakumo tugs on her teacher's sleeve. "Ano Kurenai sensei will Naruto-kun be alright?" She asked while the red eyed beauty sighs.
"Yes. This is something that occurs whenever they meet. Anko teases us until Naruto snaps and chases her around Konoha until nightfall." She answered while brushing a strand of hair back.
"Oh. So he actually has a crush on you?" Yakumo asked Kurenai who chuckles and shakes her head.
"Sadly yes and has had it since he was 8. When I first met him he asked me if I was an angel in disguise." She explained while scratching the tip of her nose with her index finger. "Anyhow let's get you home. I don't want your Uncle getting worried."
After hunting down Anko for about 5 hours, he appeared in a training ground with a peeved expression on his face. "One of these days I swear I'm gonna get her." He muttered but then ducked when a kunai whizzed past him and hit a tree branch.
"What the? Oi! Who's throwing Kunai?" He yelled and out of the bushes came a girl who seemed to be a year older than Naruto. She had brown hair that had two buns on the sides of her head and was wearing a pink sleeveless Chinese shirt with forest green pants and blue sandals and was rubbing the back of her head in embarrassment.
"Sorry. I didn't know there was someone else here." She apologized while Naruto sighs and stands back up.
"It's fine, I didn't get hit though I did lose a few strands of hair." He stated as she approached him and blinked.
"Say I remember you. You and a man who wore black and had orange spiky hair always came to my dad's shop." She stated and Naruto blinked.
"You must be talking about my step dad Ichigo. I'm Naruto." He said holding out his hand.
"Tenten Higarashi. So you're the academy student all the teachers were talking about. My teacher mentioned a blonde with black streaks in his hair was the top of his current class. That must be you." She said while Naruto shook her hand in return.
"Yeah that's me. You're in the advanced classes right?" He asked and got a nod from Tenten and she noticed Naruto's bokken.
"So you're learning how to use a sword as well?" she asked and Naruto nodded.
"Yeah I am but my mother is also teaching me how to use other weapons like a bo staff, kusari-gama, scythe, and other weapons." He answered which made her gawk.
"Wow your mom sounds like a slave driver." She said grinning while he rubbed the back of his head.
"Tell me about it but hey if I want to be a great ninja like she is, I have to go through a little pain no matter how torturing it is." He said nonchalantly which made her sweat drop.
"Okay…." She said rubbing the back of her head. "Well it's getting late and if you ever want to spar in weapon katas let me know. I could always use a partners." She said and then left the training field waving back to the blonde who waves back and was about to leave until he sensed something nearby and activated the Sharingan.
"Is there a reason why you're spying on me Kushina-san?" Naruto asked in a dangerous tone and the red head walked out of the forest. Naruto narrowed his eyes at her and held the bokken tightly in his hand not letting his guard down for a second and channeling wind Chakra into it. Kushina noticed this and brought her hands up as a form of peace.
"Wait please I didn't come here to try anything I only came to talk I swear." She stated while his eyes glowed red for a while to see if there was any form of deception in her eyes.
"Is that right? And why should I believe you?" Naruto asked harshly which made Kushina flinch at his tone and look at the ground in shame and that was when Naruto felt a gloved hand on his shoulder and looked up to see Ichigo who had a stern look on his face.
"Because she knows that if she tried anything she'd have to deal with me. I witnessed your chase with that Anko lady and I have to say you're getting better at Shunpo." He said smirking but then got serious. "So Kushina mind telling me what you want with my son?"
Kushina looked up at Ichigo and knew he was the Kyuubi and has been taking of Naruto along with Himegami ever since that day and found out that a masked ninja was responsible for him attacking the village and the death of her husband. "I only wanted to give Naruto what is rightfully his." She answered and got a raised brow from the man.
"And you didn't give it to him earlier because?" Ichigo asked.
"Because your wife is very cautious of me and doesn't trust me to go near Naruto and would think I'm trying to pull something." She answered while the orange haired man folded his arms.
"Can't say I blame her." He replied which made her flinch again and then she reaches into her vest and pulls out a few scrolls and places them on the ground.
"These scrolls contain the Namikaze Clan's techniques including the ones your father made. The others are from my side of the Uzumaki Clan and they each contain jutsu for the different elements as well as well as the other ninja arts." She said as she backed away from them. Ichigo walked around Naruto and towards the three scrolls and eyes them for a while and then looks up at Kushina. "They're not booby trapped Ichigo-san as I know what the consequences would be should I attempt to try anything." Kushina assured them and Ichigo looked for any form of deceit in her eyes and saw none. He then picked them up and tossed them to Naruto.
She then started to turn around and leave afterwards until she felt a hand grab her wrist and turned her head to see Naruto looking up at her. "Thank you Kushina. Even though I can't see you as my mother, I will not let what happen in the past cloud my judgment. If you want we can start off being friends." He offered Kushina eye smiled while tears fell from her face and she nodded.
"I'd like that very much Naruto-kun and if you can do me a favor and look out for Kasumi-chan for me when I'm not around I'd be very grateful." She asked and he nodded back. He was mostly neutral to Kasumi but would make small talk whenever he met her in the districts. "And if you need any help on those jutsu I gave you feel free to come by the Namikaze estates." She said and vanished in a swirl of wind.
Ichigo placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder and said blonde looked up to see the man smiling. "That was a very mature thing you did Naruto. Wallowing in the past is not healthy for anyone and doing so would ruin not only your life but will also affect the ones you care about. Now the scary part is explaining this whole thing to your mother." He said.
"Oh there's no need for that." Said a feminine voice behind them and the two jumped up in surprise and turned around to see Himegami who had an amused look on her face.
"Kaa-san? I thought you would be gone for another day." Naruto stated.
"I know but I manage to find the certain items I had stashed away a day earlier and headed back." Himegami then noticed the small scrolls in Naruto's hand and raised a brow. "So Kushina gave you your inheritance huh sochi?" She asked and the blonde nodded.
"Yes she did. She offered to help me out with any of the techniques that are in the scrolls if that's okay with you Kaa-san." Naruto asked Himegami who pondered on this and nodded.
"It's fine with me now come on, let's head home because my feet are killing me." She stated but then squeaked out in surprise when Ichigo scooped her up in his arms and held her bridal style. "Wh-what are you doing?" She asked her husband who just grinned.
"What? You said your feet hurt so I'm gonna carry you home Megami-chan." He answered while she blushed at his lady killer grin.
"It was a figure of speech." She protested getting a shrug from him.
"So what if it was? I still want to carry you." He said cheekily and she looked away blushing. Naruto on the other hand rolled his eyes.
"If you two are done flirting can we go home?" Naruto asked the two.
"Alright kiddo. Bet I could race you back to the compound while carrying your mother." Ichigo challenged while Naruto grinned.
"You're one." Naruto said and they Shunpoed to the compound leaving a small streak of dust.
A week later
After the Academy classes were over with, Naruto was heading into the market district until he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned his head to see none other than Kasumi Namikaze. She looked the same as her mother but had a blonde highlight in her red hair. "Hey Naruto-kun." She said as she pulled her hand away from his shoulder.
"Hello Kasumi-chan what's up?" He asked the redhead who shrugged.
"Not much. I saw you heading to the market district and wanted to know if you'd like to get some ramen?" She asked Naruto. Said blonde thought about it and nodded.
"Sure, I don't have to be home for a while." He said and then ducked when a blur flew over his head and skidded across the ground, revealing Sukina Uchiha who stomped her foot in frustration. Naruto and Kasumi snickered at how she's acting.
"I almost had you darn it." She said and huffed up while Kasumi giggled.
"Sukina-chan I could smell you from a mile away. Plus your chakra was easy to sense. You should consider trying to suppress it more." He stated while she pouted.
"Shut up. So where are you two going?" Sukina asked.
"To get some ramen, wanna join us?" Naruto asked unaware of the tick mark that formed on Kasumi's face.
"Aw come on! How hard is it for me to spend some time with Naruto-kun?" She screamed in her mindscape. That was when Sukina appeared beside him with her arms wrapped around his arm with a grin on her face which only irked Kasumi.
"Great. Let's go then." Kasumi walked over to Naruto's other side and wrapped her arms around his arm.
"Yes lets." Sukina replied with a force smile on her face. Naruto blinked in confusion, wondering what was up with them while they made their way to Ichiraku's. As they entered the stand, Teuchi, the owner of the ramen shop saw Naruto, Akemi, and Kasumi and smiled.
"Well well if it isn't my favorite customers." He said getting a returned smile from them as they sat down on the stools.
"Hey Teuchi how's it going?" Naruto asked the man.
"Not much kiddo. Just selling ramen as usual." He answered. Ayame, Teuchi's 14 year old daughter, entered from behind the shop and saw Naruto and grinned.
"Hey Naruto-kun." She said getting the blonde's attention and Naruto grinned back.
"Hey Ayame-chan. You're looking well. I guess my kaa-san's remedy helped you with that cold that lasted for two weeks huh?" He asked the girl who nodded.
"It sure did. Do you think it's possible for me to get the ingredients for the cure from her?" She asked.
"I'll see what I can do. So is there anything new on the menu?" He asked as he grabbed one of the menus and opened it up.
"Well we just recently created a new Ramen flavor but we haven't tested it yet." Teuchi stated and then grinned. "Perhaps you and your company would like to test it out." He suggested with a glint in his eye which made Ayame sweat drop.
Naruto blinked a few times and shrugs. "Sure, I'll give it a try. What about you two?" He asked Kasumi and Sukina who thought about it and nodded.
"Sure we'll try it." Kasumi answered.
"Great! Just give me a sec to make it." He said and turned around and proceeded to make it. While he was doing that, Kasumi decided to start up a conversation.
"Naruto-kun can I ask you a question?" The redhead asked.
"Sure what is it?" He asked Kasumi who looked a little skeptic for a while and spoke up.
"Do you think you can ever forgive my Kaa-san for what she's done?" She asked Naruto who raised an eyebrow and sighs while brushing his hair back.
"Forgive? Yes but forget no. Right now Kushina's trying to make it up to me by offering to teach me how to use the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline properly and also gave me my biological father's techniques. And so that you know while I am still upset, I'm not the type to hold a grudge so I'll give her a chance to redeem herself. He said with a small smile on his face and she smiled brightly.
"Thank you Naruto-kun." Kasumi said gratefully while Sukina wondered what they were talking about. Teuchi managed to finish the order.
"Alright here it is." He said and placed three bowls in front of them. In it was ramen and a variety of meats and vegetables but the noodles seem to have a tint of red on them. "This is the new ramen recipe I came up with. I call it Curry Ramen and it's very spicy.
In one bowl they could hear sizzling and looked skeptic. "Is it suppose to hiss at us?" Sukina asked while the man chuckled.
"Just try it and trust your taste buds will be screaming afterwards." He replied. So the three took their chopsticks, scooped up some ramen and each took a bite and swallowed the noodles. Teuchi and Ayame watched with anticipation wondering how they'll react.
"Wow, this isn't so bad." Kasumi replied but then her eyes bugged out as did Sukina's and they dropped their chopsticks. Naruto paused for a second and steam escaped from his ears. A few seconds later the sound of screaming could be heard coming out of the ramen stand which surprised those who were passing by the stand and wondered what was going on.
A red faced Sukina and Kasumi came bolting out of the stand crying out in agony. "WATER! I NEED WATER!" Sukina cried out.
"MY MOUTH'S ON FIRE!" Kasumi wailed and shot a stream of fire from her mouth for emphasis causing everyone to sweat drop as they attempted to fan their mouths with their hands while anime tears fell from their faces. Naruto walked out with two large glasses of water and approached them. They saw it and instantly grabbed the glasses and gulped down the water.
Naruto on the other hand chuckled at this and when they finish drinking Ayame walked out of the stand looking sheepish. "I'm so sorry about that Sukina-chan, Kasumi-chan. The curry flavored ramen was a prototype and tou-san needed to test it on someone." She apologized.
"Apologize for what? I thought it was great." Naruto stated which made them turn bug eyed and look at him in disbelief. "What? I like spicy food especially the type Kaa-san makes so I'm use to eating stuff like that. You two on the other hand are lightweights." He teased which made them blush in embarrassment and glare at Naruto.
After that little scene the three of them just spent their time walking around and talking until they heard the sound of a log being punched repeatedly. "What's that noise?" Kasumi asked.
"Don't know. Let's check it out." Sukina stated as they went to the direction where the sounds were coming from. As they made it through the forest they saw someone who appeared to be a year older than them. He had bug eyes and two large eyebrows. His hair was jet black and cut above his shoulders and wore a chinese attire with blue sandals.
He was Rock Lee and was currently punching and kicking a log post repeatedly with. "I must be able to perform 1000 punches and kicks before nightfall and if I can't do that then I'll do 2000 pushups and sit ups before the next sun rise." He said to himself as he continued to strike the post with his fists and feet. The others were watching this and Naruto couldn't help but be impressed.
"Man whoever this guy is, he can sure push himself." Naruto stated. "Judging from the imprints on the training post, he's been at this for at least two hours." Kasumi's and Sukina's eyes widened when they heard his comment. Lee continued his exercise but started to get exhausted.
"No… I must keep going on… I must prove that hard work can overcome the skills of a genius." He said but the over exertion was too much and he collapsed onto the ground and goes unconscious. Naruto leaps out of the bushes and crouches down to check Lee's pulse while Kasumi and Sukina came out of the bushes as well.
"He's fine just suffering from exhaustion." Naruto stated and then hefted the unconscious boy over his shoulder. "Let's get this guy to a hospital and afterwards I'll escort you two home."
Night
The street lights were on and the shops were starting to close. Right now Naruto was escorting Sukina to the Uchiha clan district after taking Kasumi back to the Namikaze clan compound. "Thanks for escorting me back home Naruto-kun even though you didn't have to." She proclaimed while he smiled.
"I know but I'm just making sure you make it home alright." He replied while she smiled at how he was being a gentleman.
As they entered the Uchiha district Naruto paused and frowned while Sukina did the same. "What is it?" She asked Naruto who remained still.
"Something's wrong here. The lights in the district aren't even on yet and also." His eyes widened in shock. "The strong scent of blood and smoke is in the air." Sukina's eyes widened as well when she heard this.
"Wh-what? Then that means" She suddenly took off.
"Sukina wait!" Naruto yelled and went after her. She ran around a corner and gasped in horror at what she saw. The streets were littered with the dead and scorched bodies of members of her clan and she covered her mouth up. Naruto managed to catch up with her and he was horrified at the sight as well.
"My kami… who could've done this?" He wondered and that was when they heard a groan and saw one of the members lean against the wall clutching his bleeding arm.
"Uncle Kohaku!" Sukina cried out and ran over to the injured man. Said Uchiha looked up to see his niece and a blonde running towards him.
"S-Sukina…" He said and gritted his teeth in pain.
"What happened, who has done this?" She asked the man while Naruto's hand glowed green and started to heal his arm.
"I… it was…. Shisui" He answered. "He just appeared out of nowhere and started to attack everyone who was in his path."
"Wh-what? But why? Why would he do this?" She asked until they heard an explosion. "That came from … oh no Kaa-san… Tou-san!" She ran off to her family'c compound much to the protest of Naruto.
"Sukina-chan wait! You just can't" He stated until Kohaku placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey kid you have to stop her before she gets hurt." The man replied and slowly staggered to his feet. "Don't worry about me… I'll be fine since only my arm was injured. Now Go!" He ordered. Naruto nodded and then he tapped a seal under his arm and a sheathed ninjato appeared in his hand and he took off.
Meanwhile
An explosion erupted from the wall of the compound and leaping through the explosion was Fugaku who was holding his wife in his arms and he crashed into the ground but with severe scorch marks on his clothe and he was gravely injured. Mikoto saw the state her husband was in and was horrified.
"Mikoto-chan are you okay?" He asked while blood dripped from his mouth.
"Fugaku-kun… your hurt badly." She said while tears formed in her eyes.
"I know… damn that Shisui." Fugaku growled out but then his body jerked due to the fact that he was impaled through the heart by a blade and his blood splattered on Mikoto's face.
"Weakling…. You don't deserve to call yourself the clan head." Shisui said in a cold tone before ripping his blade out of the man's back and kicking him away.
"FUGAKU!" Mikoto screamed out while tears fell from her face when she saw the life leave her husband's eyes."
Shisui on the other hand smiled evilly when he saw this and spat on the dead man's face. "God riddance. Trash like him has no right to call himself an Uchiha." He then set his gaze on Mikoto and raised his blade. "Don't feel too bad because you'll be joining him in the afterlife. He said and swung his blade down at her head.
CLANG!
Shisui's Katana was stopped by a ninjato and the wielder happened to be none other than Naruto Kurosaki. Said blonde's Sharingan eyes were glowing red and he gave the Uchiha a murderous look. Before Shisui could respond, a Kage Bunshin appeared into the air behind the man and threw a volley of Kunai and Shurinken at the man who leapt away and glared at Naruto.
"Beat it outcast. This is none of your concern." He said while Sukina ran to her mother and hugged the distraught woman.
"Shut up. You murdered your own kin in cold blood you bastard." Naruto remarked while Shisui scoffed not caring about what he did.
"So what if I did? Doing so gave me the power I needed. The true power of the Uchiha Clan." That was when a sick smile formed on his face. "Why don't I show you what this power is by killing you with it." His eyes changes and morphed into an atomic symbol and a maniacal grin was on his face. "Amaterasu (Sun Goddess). Black flames suddenly shot out of nowhere and headed right for Naruto, Mikoto, and Sukina.
"Dammit! I can't evade that!" The blonde said frantically as the flames got closer and started to go through some hand signs until…
"Kamui (Might of the Gods)." Said a calm yet deadly voice. A warped void suddenly appeared in front of them and sucked the flames in, surprising them and Shusui.
"Impossible who did that?" Shisui shouted and that was when a lone figure appeared in front of Naruto, Sukina, and Mikoto they realized who it was.
"Itachi-nii-san?" Sukina asked while said Uchiha looked back and his eyes like Shisui's were morphed and were in the form of a curved tri pronged shuriken.
"Itachi? What are you doing" Shisui started to ask until his eyes widened due to the fact that he sensed something behind him and he twisted his body and used his blade to block another from another Itachi who had a murderous look on his face. The Kage Bunshin scoped up a distraught Mikoto in his arms and also grabbed Sukina and shunshins away with Naruto following via Shunpo.
"You're gonna pay for what you've done traitor." Itachi said in a cold and murderous voice while Shisui smirked.
"I'd like to see you try." Shisui taunted as their Mangekyo Sharingan's spun wildly. The Kage Bunshin appeared with Mikoto and Sukina near a safe house away from the Uchiha Clan District where those who managed to get away from Shisui's assault were hiding. Naruto did as well with his ninjato strapped to his back.
"Itachi what's going on? Why is Shisui doing this?" Mikoto asked while the tears streamed down her face. The bunshin was about to speak up until it was hit in the skull by a kunai and dispelled surprising the group.
"Well well it looks like I found some stragglers." Said a voice from the shadows. Sukina ran to her mother and hugged her closely trembling in fear while a man with black spiky hair wearing a mask with odd markings, with a single eyehole, and a black cloak walked out of the shadows. Naruto instantly drew his ninjato and stood on front of Mikoto and Sukina.
"Who are you?" Naruto growled out which the tomoe in his eyes spun rapidly. The masked man paused as he saw those eyes and narrowed his. In a burst of speed no one could follow, he appeared in front of a surprised Naruto and swatted his blade aside like it was nothing and grabbed the blonde by his throat and hoisted him into the air.
"Naruto-kun! Put him down!" Sukina cried while said blonde struggled in the man's grip.
"This is the same boy who had Kyuubi sealed in him but now I don't even since a speck of the beats chakra and his eyes… the power emitting from them feels familiar." He thought. "Where is the Kyuubi boy? Tell me or I'll make sure you and those two suffer for this." He growled out and pulled out a kunai ignoring the protesting screams from Mikoto and Sukina while he raised the weapon. He was about to drive it into Naruto's shoulder but that was when a hand grabbed his wrist and stopped his attack. "What the?" Madara said in shock and turned his head to see the glowing red eyes of Ichigo Kurosaki and the man was beyond pissed. Madara dropped Naruto who gasped and sucked in air while Sukina ran over to help him.
"Hello Madara." Ichigo said venomously while the canines from his upper lip jutted out. "Remember me? Because I sure as hell remember you!" Ichigo roared and kicked the man in the torso so hard that he heard his ribs crack and was sent flying into a tree and leaving an imprint of his body. Madara gasped out in pain as he has never been kicked like that since he fought Hashirama and Himegami.
"Wh-who are you?" Madara wheezed out while clutching his broken ribs.
"Who am I? You should know since you forced me to attack the village and destroyed Naruto's family you bastard." Ichigo replied as he held his right hand out and summoned Tensa Zangetsu. Madara's eyes widened in surprise as he saw Kyuubi in human form.
"Kyuubi?" He asked in astonishment and then grinned behind his mask. "So my pet found a way to escape. Too bad you'll be doing a repeat in destroying this pathetic village." He said as his eyes morphed into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and attempted to force his influence on Ichigo.
Said former Shinigami smiled darkly and slowly approached the man. Madara's eyes widened in disbelief at what was happening. "Why aren't my eyes working on you?" he asked in frustration.
"That would be thanks to me." Said a feminine yet dangerous voice. Madara's blood ran cold as he heard the voice and slowly turned around to see someone he feared more than death. His older sister.
"H-H-Himegami?" Dread and fear was in the man's voice as he saw his eldest sister with her scythe drawn.
Hello little brother. How dare try to harm my son and force your influence on my husband." She said activating her Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and flared her chakra around the area. Madara started to step back slowly as the two glared at him and ready to tear him apart. "I should've killed you right after Hashirama defeated you in the valley of the end. You have caused nothing but trouble taking Naruto's chance of happiness from him when he was born and now you're attempting to massacre our kin and kill him?" Said asked coldly.
"This is bad. There's no way I can fight her of all people. She use to beat me and Izuna for fun when we were kids. From the looks of it she hasn't lost any of her strength at all. I have to get Shisui and get out of here." He thought. "As much as I would love to have a family reunion with you Nee-chanI have to cut this meeting short." He said and suddenly warped away while Ichigo attempted to decapitate him with his blade and curses.
"Dammit! Fucking coward." Ichigo said angrily and looked back at Mikoto and Sukina. "Are you three alright?" He asked and got a nod from them while Himegami checked Naruto.
With Itachi and Shisui
Shisui was not faring well against Itachi even though he gained the Mangekyo Sharingan. He has slash marks and burns on his person and Itachi seemed to be fine. Said future clan head eyes glowed with fury as he glared at his former best friend. "This isn't right. Even though I gained the Mangekyo I still can't beat him." He said in frustration and had to evade a volley of miniature fireballs that Itachi unleashed and deflected the other with his blade. He left himself wide open and Itachi appeared in front a surprised Shisui and delivered a chakra enhanced kick at his torso and sent him flying into a wall which left a large crater.
The master of Shunshin collapsed and coughed up a glob of blood and gave itachi a hateful look. "How can you still be stronger than me even though I gained the true form of the Sharingan?" He growled out in anger.
"Because you failed to expand your horizon. You believe that just because you possess the ultimate form of our clan's bloodline which you don't you are invincible. Such foolishness and belief is appalling and leads to arrogance and death. You may have bested the others but I am on a whole different level." Itachi vanished and appeared behind Shisui with his blade raised. "goodbye Shisui and may you suffer in hell for your crimes." He said with no remorse and proceeded to sever Shisui's head from his shoulders until he sensed someone behind him and leapt away from a Kunai slash and skidded back glaring at the cloaked figure.
"We've wasted enough time here Shisui. Let's go." Madara said and got a nod from the man who glared back at Itachi.
"Enjoy this victory while you can Itachi because next time you won't be so lucky." Shisui spat and they warped away. The eldest son of the late Fugaku deactivated his eyes and that was when a squad of ANBU appeared.
"Itachi-taicho what happened here?" Asked Neko while Itachi wiped a bead of sweat from his head.
"We were attacked. Inform the Hokage that need a fire in the Uchiha district to help put out the fires. The survivors were sent to one of the clan safehouses at the edge of the village." He explained and got a nod from her. Two of the ANBU shunsin away to inform their leader of the incident while the others assisted Itachi in trying to keep the flames from spreading outwards by performing some water jutsu.
And Cut! Here's the next Chap Folks and I apologize for the delay. The next chap will be another timeskip where I'll explain what Naruto and his new do after the incident, Until then Peace out ^^.
