ultima-owner: Battles DO run in his blood.
DZ2: Really? I was just mimicking Itachi's seemingly emotionless motions in battle. Looking back, it IS pretty similar to Mewtwo's apathy.
Zero543: It WILL happen….just later on.
duskrider: No idea if that will happen yet.
Jewlbunny: Thanks!
RHatch89: Thanks.
New Links have been posted on my profiled. The link to the Uchiha Clan Symbol was faulty, so it was replaced. My attempt at drawing Ash's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan is also up, along with the outfit Ash receives in this chapter-a copy of the armor worn by the legendary Madara Uchiha (except it will be blue.)
The Fist of Susanoo
Ch4: A Father's Legacy and the GS Ball.
Ash pulled off his hood and wiped sweat forming on his forehead. The Orange Islands were a tropical region, and his current outfit proved to be too warm for the region.
'What I need is something that will protect me and keep me warm, yet also cool.' Ash thought, looking at Latios and Latias, who were training outside the boat. They had improved by leaps and bounds under his tutelage with Mewtwo's help, and had actually learned their respective signature attacks-Luster Purge and Mist Ball respectively.
Seeing Valencia Island approach in the distance, he recalled Latios and Latias and smirked to himself. "Today is the start of a new journey. A new chance to prove my strength as an Uchiha." He said.
"You're already pretty strong." Misty said next to him, with Brock nodding.
"I only recently re-discovered the Uchiha name. This way, it will spread across the Pokémon Continents." Ash said; leaping off the boat and landing on the island, scythe drawn.
"MY NAME WILL BE KNOWN TO EVERYONE ACROSS THE WORLD!" He shouted, Pikachu yelling his name as well.

"Ash! Good to see you!" a familiar voice called out, and Ash looked up, Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan active. "Mom?! Professor Oak?"
"Sorry about the short notice meeting. I came to pick up the GS ball itself. Word of your capture of two Team Rocket Agents that infiltrated Alto Mare has spread all over Kanto and Johto." Professor Oak said, rubbing his head. "If I had known Team Rocket…."
Ash cut him off by holding up a hand. "It was more than a pleasure to capture those scum….They were responsible for Ayumu's death!" With that he glared into the water, unintentionally paralyzing a Tentacool with his Genjutsu: Sharingan. Misty, however, capitalized on this and used a poke ball to capture it.
Wiping off more sweat, Delia walked up to Ash with a package in her hands.
"It's something Itachi had made before he left. There are more copies at home for when you get older." She said.
"Dad made this?!" Ash said pulling on the wrapping, but Delia placed a hand over his.
"No peeking until you get inside." She said. At this, Ash ran inside with the package in his hands. In a few seconds, a shout of "WHAT?!" was heard from inside the building.
Once the others got inside, they were greeted by three girls who all ended each other's sentences (much like the Weasley Twins).
"If you're looking for the boy"
"He went into a room of to the side"
"To change for some reason"
"A very good reason. This outfit is perfect!" Ash's voice came from the hallway, and the others turned and their eyes widened-except for Delia, who smiled at the outfit.
Ash stood there in black boots and pants, with bandages on his legs over the pants going up to his knees and around his upper right thigh, where his kunai pouch was. He wore a long sleeve black shirt with black gloves that had the Uchiha Clan symbol on the back of them.
Over the shirt were numerous blue metal plates, forming protective guards over his chest, back, waist, shoulders, and thighs. The Uchiha Clan symbol was on the upper-back of the metal armor, with Ash's scythe strapped to his back under the symbol. A metal and leather belt was around his waist, holding his poke balls.
His hair was still pulled into a ponytail, and he still had the grey armguards on the back of his forearms, however.
"This armor is perfect." Ash said, brushing some dust off the left shoulder plates.
"Professor Oak! What a surprise!" A woman with purple hair wearing a lab coat over a swimsuit said, walking through the door.
"Yes. I know I said a trainer would come and pick up the GS Ball, but I decided to pick it up myself." He said, as Professor Ivy-the woman who walked in-moved to her desk and pulled out a gold and silver ball with the letters "GS" on it.
"Well, that explains the name." Ash said, glancing at it.
"And who might you be, young man?" She said, as she handed the ball to Professor Oak.
"Ash Ketchum-Uchiha." He said, Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan glowing as he stared her in the eyes.
With a minor Genjutsu: Sharingan, he seemingly made the Uchiha Clan symbol appear behind him, floating behind him.
Brock moved in front of Ash and bowed down. "Professor Ivy. PLEASE take me on as a student so I can learn more about being a Pokémon Breeder. I beg you!"
"What?!" Misty said in shock. "Brock's leaving?"
"It may be temporary." Ash said, "And beneficial to him in his choice of career. The Pokémon we've seen here have different patterns and colorations. It is a rare opportunity to study."
"I can prove myself worthy! Just watch!" Brock said, taking off to start cleaning the messy lab.
"Okay….now I'm worried about his mental health." Ash said, looking away.

As Professor Oak and Delia got onto a boat with Ash and Misty, mother and son started talking about all that he'd seen since they last talked.
Professor Oak, however, was studying Latios and Latias, who were flying around the boat.
Approaching the Island, Ash let out a sad smile. Professor Oak and Delia would stay on the boat to return to Pallet town while he would find another way to move onto the Orange Crew challenge.
Landing on the beach, Ash's vision turned red as he saw three kids ganging up on a Lapras.
Without a word, he sprinted towards them faster than anyone could follow and jumped between the kids and the Lapras, much to the Transport Pokémon's surprise. Someone was defending it?
Ash, looking back at it with his Sharingan, took in its condition. It was probably around the equivalent to a teenager in its age, and the Sharingan kept telling him it was a female, but was in bad shape.
"Three on one hardly seems fair." Ash said; flipping through three hand-signs and in a puff of smoke, six Shadow Clones appeared around the boys, three clones for each boy.
"There. Now it's a real three-on-one situation. Do you want the clones to use Susanoo?" Ash said, turning his attention to Lapras.
"While my clones teach those brats a lesson, what's wrong?" Ash asked.
Lapras cried out something in her own language, and his Sharingan broke it down into a language Ash understood.
"I see. You were kicked out of your pod?" Ash asked and Lapras nodded, "But the good thing is that you led the poachers away from the pod. It kept your little brother safe."
Ash closed his eyes and took out a Hyper Potion. "It may sting, but this will help you heal." Lapras tensed, but nodded and he started spraying her wounds.
Letting out a content sigh, Lapras settled off to sleep next to him, and Ash turned to see his clones with Susanoo's ribcage surrounding the boys, who were on the ground covered in bruises.
"Is that a Lapras?" Misty said, finally catching up to him from when he ran off.
"These three scums were ganging up on it. Speaking of them." Ash said, forming a hand-sign. The clones deactivated Susanoo and started glowing.
"Great Clone Explosion!" With that, the clones exploded and sent the boys flying into the distance.
At the explosion, Lapras woke up and Ash pressed a button on his poke dex, sending Wartortle's poke ball to the lab, leaving him with Pikachu, Mewtwo, Sylveon, Latios, and Latias. After that, Ash pointed it at Lapras.
"Lapras, the Transport Pokémon. Its high intelligence enables it to understand human speech. It likes to ferry people across its back."
"Known moves are Ice Beam, Water Pulse, Confuse Ray, and Thunderbolt. Not bad at all." Ash said, and Lapras let out a happy yell, right before it rubbed against an empty poke ball and was sucked in, the poke ball dinging after a moment.
"Well, at least we have a way to move between the islands." Ash said, shrugging.
A boy came running up right afterwards. He had a green shirt and red shorts, with a red band holding his black hair out of his eyes. "Wow. I never thought I'd see a person with such a healthy Pokémon around here!" He said, inspecting Pikachu.
"And you are?" Ash said, Sharingan constantly watching the boy's movements.
"Tracy Sketchit. I'm a Pokémon watcher. One day, I hope to work with Professor Oak."
Ash nodded, but still kept his Sharingan on the boy. "You just missed him. He left for Pallet Town."
With this, the boy let out a frustrated scream, pulling on his hair.
"Well, we can take you to see him after I compete in the Orange League." Ash suggested, and the boy got in his face literally begging him to take him with him.
"Alright" Ash said, "But first, we're all going to a secluded area of the island. I assume you want answers about my eyes." Ash said, and Tracy nodded in surprise, how had he been able to read him?

Unbeknownst to them, Jessie, James, and Meowth had survived by ejecting from their machine as it was launched into the distance. However, their careers at Team Rocket had been ended, especially since they couldn't stomach their Boss's latest orders. They were currently following them in order to find an explanation for the kid's powers.
The latest order for Team Rocket: Kill the Trainer with the blood of the Uchiha Clan.
"Alright. Now that we're out of the public eye, I can finally explain some things." Ash said, releasing Mewtwo, Sylveon, Latios, Latias, and Lapras. Pikachu sat down next to the other Pokémon.
"In the Elemental Nations, the people known as Shinobi, or ninja, didn't always have the ability to use ninjutsu or genjutsu techniques. During this time period, a massive monster ravaged the lands. It was known simply as the Ten Tails."
"Ten Tails?" Misty asked.
"Imagine this, a monster with humanoid limbs and spikes protruding from it and a single, red eye with ten tails that's larger than many skyscrapers turning everything around it to rubble." Ash said, and everyone shivered at the imagery.
"During its rampage, a human emerged who could use chakra-the same thing that the Ten Tails could use. After a horrific battle, the man sealed the monster into himself. Afterwards, he taught other humans how to harness their chakra."
"He was simple known as the Sage of the Six Paths. What many didn't know was that he had two sons. Nearing his death, he called his sons to him and asked them how they believed true peace would be obtained. The elder son believed the key to peace was power, and that if you were strong enough, others would be fearful to attack and that was the way to keep peace."
"The younger son, however, believed the key to peace was through love. The elder son received the sage's eyes-though it was not a copy of the sage's legendary eyes: the Rin'negan. The younger son received the Sage's powerful body and chakra. Reflecting upon their answers, the Sage named the younger son his heir."
"The elder son was infuriated and attacked the younger-a blood feud that would last for generations. The family of the younger son would become the Senju Clan, and the elder son's family would become the Uchiha Clan. Knowing that the Ten Tails would be freed on his death, The Sage sealed its body in earth and sent the orb into the sky-which became the moon. After that, he split its chakra into nine pieces, each peace becoming one of the nine creatures known as the nine Tailed Beasts: The One-Tailed Tanuki, The Two-Tailed Hellcat, The Three-Tailed Turtle, The Four-Tailed Monkey, The Five-Tailed Dolphin-Horse, The Six-Tailed Slug, The Seven-Tailed Rhinoceros Beetle, The Eight-Tailed Ushi-Oni; which resembles an ox with its lower half being its eight tails resembling octopus tentacles, and finally, The Nine-Tailed Fox."
"Nine beasts? How would that help?" Tracy asked, not seeing how taking one beast and making it nine would help.
"Each beast only has a fraction of the Ten-Tails' power." Ash said, surprising everyone.
"Knowledge was lost for many years, and for years, the world was embroiled in endless battles, an era of warring states." Ash said; stabbing the scythe he was carrying into a tree stump.
"It sounds terrible." Misty said, with Lapras, Latios, and Latias nodding. Ash sighed and nodded as well. "My dad had seen war, and told me the horrors of it as well. I can fight-and kill if I have to, but it's not my first option, which is why I mainly use genjutsus- the art of illusions. Anyways, moving on."
"The one-village-per-country system didn't exist then. Ninja organizations were militia groups, divided by clans. In this world of constant strife, power was everything. The Uchiha Clan was known all over the world as a warrior clan with remarkable chakra and the Sharingan." At this, Ash's Sharingan glanced over everyone as he pointed at his eyes.
"And then there was the 'Senju Clan of the Forest', said to rival the Uchiha Clan in strength. Their leader, Hashirama Senju, was the most powerful ninja of his time. Time and time again, the Uchiha and Senju clans battled one another. However...This endless fighting threatened to destroy both their clans. Members of both sides who believed it would banded together…and created a new organization. It was later known as the Village Hidden in the Leaves."
"So the village system was created by the Senju AND Uchiha clans." Tracy said, writing the things Ash said down.
"Indeed. However….both clans are nearly extinct. The only Senju I know of is Tsunade Senju-Grandaughter of Hashirama Senju. The only other living Uchiha….is my Uncle, Sasuke Uchiha- who is roaming somewhere in the Elemental Nations." As Ash stood up and strapped his scythe to his back, the others had their eyes widened in horror.
Only one other Uchiha living?
"Return" Ash said, recalling his Pokémon other than Pikachu, and turned his back to the others.
"One day, I will revive the Uchiha clan. In these peaceful countries, the criminal organizations like Team Rocket run amuck. The Uchiha Clan will take the role they once held in the Village Hidden in the Leaves….They will be a Police Force!" Ash said.
(Enter Naruto Shippuden OST 1-Shippuuden)
"My name…The Uchiha name WILL return! THAT is my newest dream!" Ash said.
As the sun faded on the horizon, Ash walked out over to a cliff and stared out at the water with his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan staring out.
"It is a beautiful scene" Tracy said, sketching the ocean sunset and the occasional Water-Type that leapt out of the water.
"Sunsets remind of why I keep fighting. This harmony in the world, where light and darkness are aligned. During this time, people and Pokémon alike relax. No worrying about criminals at all." Ash said, staring at the light reflected off the water.
Without a warning, the five Pokémon he had within their poke balls emerged and stood (or in the case of Latias and Latios-floated) next to their trainer, staring out at the water.
"Tomorrow, the Orange League challenge….begins!" Ash said, standing proudly with his arms crossed.
Chapter end!
List of ALL of Ash's techniques
For example "(Mangekyō Sharingan) X: Y" means that the Mangekyō Sharingan is used to start it. (Explanation of technique)
