This is my newest chapter, due to the fact this is still sort of a prologue and nothing has really happened so far because they are so young, the chapters will be kinda short...but I do need some help here, I hate having my chapter titles named: Chapter 1, Chapter 2 ect... it's so boring. And I can't think of any good chapter titles at this moment. If you have a good title for any of the chapters, please send it to me, the best title will be used. And someone wanted YahikoxKonan, yeah, I was thinking that as a pairing as well, so this chapter is setting up the YahikoxKonan and a little bit of NejixOC as well as NarutoxYugito. Pairings for the others are largely undecided, I have a few pairings in mind but I'll take to though any suggestions. Now enough of my rant, I'll continue at the bottom, enjoy the chapter!
Edit: I realized that instead of Hizashi, I had put Hiashi for the whole time in this chapter, who is Hinata's dad so I had to change it back XD.
Time skip: 4 Years Later in Sorauzugakure...
A four and a half year old Naruto chased a five year old Tsubasa, er... Tobi around in the courtyard of the Uzumaki Compound. Earlier that year, Tsubasa had been diagnosed with MPD, multiple personality disorder, this wasn't helped at all when the Sorakage, whom they found out was Uchiha Madara who founded the village once he was exiled came to visit them. A couple stories about him becoming Tobi to hide from anyone who wanted to hunt him down, boom, one of Tsubasa's personalities had become Tobi, complete with the original swirly orange mask, courtesy of the Sorakage.
Neji sat on the side, content to just watch the two half-brothers play. Hizashi and Kushina had started training the three earlier than usual, with the Seikon lurking around, it was always better to be safe than sorry. The two were constantly away on missions so often, Itachi, Shisui, Obito or the thirteen year old Konan, Yahiko and Nagato had to watch them and make sure they didn't get killed.
Right now, Itachi watched the three fondly, they had become quite close over the years, the three had taken place of his younger brother, Sasuke who was about two months old when Itachi left the village with Kushina. They became the younger brothers that Itachi had never got to train or play with, but that was alright by him.
"I'll get you nii-san!" Naruto yelled from the familiar cross handseal, there were two poofs as two Kage Bunshin poofed into existance. The three Naruto's closed in on Tobi, but when they got too close, Tsubasa melted into a puddle of water. "Mizu Bunshin?! No fair nii-san!" Naruto complained as the real Tobi dropped out of the tree next to Neji.
"And it's fair for you to use Kage Bunshin?" Tobi chirped cheerfully, leaning on the tree he was just hiding in.
Itachi sweatdropped at that, they were only four to five years old and using jounin level jutsu's? These kids were insane, "Naruto, dispell your clones, Kushina-sama wouldn't be very happy if she came home and found her son dying because he kept two Kage Bunshin out too long." While Naruto could use the jutsu, his inner chakra systems were still developing, so he couldn't put too much strain on them. With a sigh, the two other Naruto's vanished in a cloud of smoke.
"Go wash up, the clans' dinner is tonight," Itachi told them, ruffling the blonde's hair as he walked by into the house to do as told. The clan dinner was when all the clans of Sorauzugakure got together for a dinner and disscussed things, their children would usually be in a seperate room where they could eat, play and whatever. Three showers and a splash later, coming from Naruto, the three of them had dressed up in nicer clothes than the ones they were wearing before and met Itachi at the front gate.
Naruto was dressed in a dark orange t-shirt with the red swirl on the front, the Uzumaki Clan symbol, along with a black pair of shorts which also had the symbol. Neji had a white polo shirt on, being the Hyuuga he was and a tan pair of cargo shorts. Tobi, had his mask on still and a sky blue t-shirt, his shorts were a dark indigo with a crescent moon and a few clouds on his right leg.
Once Itachi had given them a once over to make sure they were as clean as they were supposed to be, did they walk the couple blocks down the streets to the restaurant where the dinner was being held. Hizashi and Kushina had already arrived earlier, being older and clan heads and all. On the way there, Itachi had told the three firmly not to create any mayhem using any jutsu or any mayhem at all, but gave up halfway through telling them, knowing that they would get into trouble of some sort either way.
Once inside the restaurant, they were lead to a seperate room for the younger ones so they wouldn't get bored or disruptive at the adults dinner. Shisui was already seated at one end of the long table, along with Konan, Yahiko and Nagato. Several empty seats between them, indicated that seats had already been saved for them. The four settled in to the four seats while Naruto chatted enthusiastically to Yugito about kami knows what, who came a little bit over a year ago along with her adopted-father, Kira and Roushi, the Hachibi and Yonbi jinchuuriki respectively. Both of them knew of what they contained and shared a special bond because of it and the fact Naruto saved her life helped too
Flashback Start:
"Tou-san! It's so cold," a three, almost four year old Yubito shivered under all the layers she was wrapped in, hearing this, Kira protectively, held her closer to him, trying to share what little warmth they had. Rumours of Sorauzugakure a haven for nuke-nin, outcasts and more importantly, Jinchuuriki, supposedly hidden in the sky had reached their ears all the way in Kumo. Hearing this, they seized their first chance and escaped the village, heading in the general direction of where Sorauzugakure was supposed to exist.
By mere luck, had they encountered Roushi, they found out that he was also a Jinchuuriki headed for the haven known as Sorauzugakure. He had met a shinobi on a mission from Sorauzugakure just a little bit over a month ago, one of Konoha's prized warriors as well, an Uchiha. (AN: I'm guessing you guys have figured out who the Uchiha is...if you don't know...well then you're really dense...) The Uchiha had described the village in great detail, speaking every word with a spark in his eye and great excitement in his voice, as if he was describing heaven.
It had taken Roushi the rest of the month to prepare and make a map from what he could remember from the conversation he had with the Uchiha. While the map was still sketchy and rough, it gave him a general idea of where to head and such. He met the two former Kumo-nin in the land of Rice, where Otogakure was slowly taking place. There, they followed the roughly drawn map through the mountains into the snowfield beyond them.
All of them were battling the cold and chakra exhaustion as they fought their way through the driving snow. Eventually, it became too much for their bodies to handle and they collapsed, the only thing keeping them alive was the Bijuu sealed in their guts who were furiously working to keep their jailers warm. But the gods were smiling upon them today, as today, Naruto, Neji and Tobi had gotten permission from Keiji that they could play outside, because the snow was fluffier outside than inside, where it was all slush. Itachi and Shisui had been sent to make sure nothing terrible happened to the three. Naruto was running through the snow when, thud, he tripped over something and landed in a snow drift.
Everyone immeadietly, stopped whatever they were doing and hurried over to see if he was okay. "Wah!! There's snow down my back!!!" Naruto cried, jumping up and down on the spot, attempting to get the snow out. While Shisui helped Naruto get the snow out of his jacket the other three wandered over to where the blonde had tripped, finding a paticularly lare snow drift. Curious about this huge snowdrift, Tobi began digging through the snow until he came across some black fabric. At this point, the others joined in, and they were able to dig out the three and safely bring them to the village, where they spent a week in the hospital, recuperating, where Naruto visited Yugito everyday, seeing how the lump he had tripped over was her.
Flashback End
Halfway through the main course, which consisted of a wide variety of meats and side dishes, Neji and Yahiko had enough, enough of what? Well for Neji, a little bit away from where they were sitting at sat a girl, her name was Hari Kouseki, the heir to the Kouseki clan, she had shoulder length black hair and chocolate brown eyes. She was soft-spoken and quiet, shy if you really wanted to put it that way. Although Neji didn't know it, he had the beginnings of a crush on her, although he was a little young. And right now, he couldn't stand it how that Seikon boy, Meibana was it? Kept teasing her and stuff.
Yahiko had the same predicament as Neji except well since he was thirteen, hormones were raging and he's had the 'talk' already, which made him unable to look at any female without well, 'you know' for a whole month. He liked Konan he suddenly realized...a whole lot too... So when some chuunin Seikon who thought that they were all that and like a good ten years older than Konan began hitting on her, repeatedly, Yahiko fought to stay calm, but when, he saw his hand quickly snake around and grope her ass...well that blew it, Neji's fuse had burned out as well.
Simultaneously, both of them stood up, which was kind of odd for Neji, since he was usually the most calm out of all of them. Neji simply leapt over the table and with a yell, tackled Meibana to the ground, half-developed Jyuuken palms flying. Yahiko simply leaned around Konan and slugged the chuunin guy in the face with a viscious right hook, this proceeded to become a full out taijutsu battle.
"Do something Nagato!" Konan yelled at her other team member who remained in his seat, eating and watching Yahiko fight at the same time.
"I wouldn't get involved if I were you, if I were to stop Yahiko now, he would feel like..." Nagato paused, thinking of how to phrase what he was about to say to use here in a situation like this, he had long figured out that the two liked each other, only both were just as oblivious as the next, "he hadn't done his duty, he would be ashamed of himself."
"What?! Why would he ever feel such a thing?!" Konan exclaimed, her mind half on what Nagato just said, and half on how cute Yahiko looked when he he was fighting. Did she just think that?
"You tell me, " Nagato replied nonchalantly, stabbing another piece of food and putting into his mouth casually.
Meanwhile, on the otherside of the room, Itachi and Shisui leaned on the wall, letting Neji and Meibana fight it out, they would interfere if anything worse that a couple bruises and scrapes were to happen. Meanwhile, Tobi, Naruto and Yugito sat backwards in their seats so they could cheer on Neji as he beat the crap out of the snotty Seikon kid.
Five more minutes of fighting and it all ended adbruptly when Yahiko sent the chuunin sky rocketing with a sky uppercut and Neji KOed Meibana with a full force knuckle sandwich. This of course brought all the adults running in wondering what the heck happened. And of course Neji and Yahiko were scolded by Obito, Hizashi and Kushina who we were all trying not to smile and their eyes said, "I wanna know every detail when we get home." The two Seikons' were taken to the hospital for bruises, a couple broken ribs for the chuunin along with a concussion, and fake teeth as well as a concussion for the younger Meibana. Half-hearted apologies were made while trying not to smile and they were all sent home while the adults sorted things out.
Eventually, the Sorakage and Uzukage sorted everything out and put the chuunin on temporary probation doing D-ranks because he deserved it for what he did to Konan, the younger one simply had his hospital bills taken care of by the Kage's themselves. Neji and Yahiko were let of pretty easily, mainly because, Kushina hated the Seikons' as much as they did.
After that incident, Konan and Yahiko didn't talk to each other for a very long time, or when they did, they couldn't meet each other's eyes, like now for example.
"Tsubasa! Tell Konan that it's lunch time!" Yahiko called out from downstairs, the adults were all out on bussiness, Obito was the Yahiko's, Konan's and Nagato's team sensei, so he was off arranging things for the mission they would depart for in a little bit over an hour. Itachi and Shisui had taken the other two out somewhere, leaving poor Tsubasa at home with the two, nobody knew where Nagato went though.
Tsubasa was the other personality, while Tobi was cheerful, loud and happy-go-lucky, Tsubasa was the complete opposite. He was soft-spoken, calm, the smarter of all the personalities and occasionally a soft smile graced his face. When doing serious things, like making new jutsu, inventing things or playing music, like he was right now Tsubasa was in charge, Tobi sleeping in the back of his mind.
"Nee-chan! Nii-chan says it's lunch time!" Tsubasa yelled up the down the hall to where Konan's room was located.
Konan frowned, Tsubasa called all three of them Nee/Nii-chan, which means she couldn't tell if he was refering to Nagato or Yahiko. After thinking for a moment, she deduced it was Yahiko, Nagato wouldn't tell Tsubasa to go get her, but get her himself. "Tell Yahiko that I'll be down as soon as I'm done packing!" Konan replied, her voice carrying down the hall easily because of the chakra she put behind it.
"Nii-chan! Nee-chan says she'll come down after she finishes packing!" Tsubasa returned to the piano which he sat at, trying to remember where he was at before the two had interupted him.
"Tell Konan that she has to hurry, or else her food will go cold!"
"Nee-chan! Nii-chan says that you have to hurry, or your food will go cold!" Tsubasa growled, mildly annoyed at the two and how long this had been going on for.
"Tell Yahiko that I can microwave the food if it get's cold!"
That was it, "TELL EACH OTHER YOURSELVES!"
Here I am explaining the whole Tobi/Tsubasa thing: I really liked Tobi as a character and thought it would be a waste because he doesn't get much action in my plot, so to bring him out more, I've adapted him into my OC. Now, it's like how Sakura has inner-Sakura, there's more than one psyche inside Tobi/Tsubasa (There's actually three, but the third is a secret for now) , where as inner-Sakura can't control Sakura's body, Tobi can and can switch with Tsubasa at will.
I also have a few questions for someone who has really been keeping tabs on the Naruto plot currently.
1) In order to control the Kyuubi, do you need the Sharingan or the Mangekyo Sharingan or the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?
2) Can the Sharingan or what ever variant you need to control Kyuubi control the other Bijuu as well or only Kyuubi?
3) Does Danzo have the Sharingan? If so, which variant does he have, you know, Mangekyo ect...
Remember, I need suggestions for chapter titles, so send me any you might have thought of! Oh and should I further on how Uchiha Madara became Sorakage? I could do a whole chapter on it I guess. And should I further the part where Yugito, Kira and Roushi arrive at Sorauzukage? Please R&R I need help on which direction am I going with this story, so as the author, I pass the decision making power onto you readers. Until next time, ~AnimeClouds~
