So here we are again you guys! This update was quicker wasn't it?
I have decided to make the story of the Hyō siblings into a Trilogy! My siblings and I (who the characters are based on) made this elaborate plotline of what happened to the clan. So instead of making it into one of those 75 chapter stories, I have decided to make it into a trilogy in order to keep you interested and not overwhelmed!
Now on with the story *Gives everyone a bag of popcorn*
~Just so everyone knows there is a 5 year timeskip.
Chapter 5 –
A 15 year old girl with bright red hair and purple bangs crouches in the bushes with her large red eyed panther above her in the trees.
She adorned a pair of short black spandex shorts and a short sleeved Kimono top. The top was blood red, just a couple shades darker than her hair, the lining was black as well as the Obi. She also had a thin white sash that she tied around the Obi. Her Headband was tied around her neck like a choker, and her thigh high black combat boots that have the Hyō clan symbol in red on the side.
"Come on Oni we need to move before Bito finds us." Dairin sighs as she stealthily gets up.
She sniffs the air and heads west towards one of her teammates. She climbs a tree and sits next to one of her teammates, Asuma Sarutobi. He had spikey black hair and a slender face. He had big brown eyes that seemed bigger when he was surprised. He wore a sleeveless black shirt with a high neck and a baggy brown vest with a hood. He had chin length bangs that he kept under his headband worn proudly on his forehead. His upper arms had binding wrapped around them, for who knows what reason. Then he wore standard black sweats and shinobi sandals.
"Did you see anyone on your way over here." Asuma asked in a hushed tone.
Dairin sighed in boredom, Asuma was Kakashi and Rin's age which just so happened to be 17. He had gotten placed on her team after his sensei didn't comeback from a mission and was later found dead. They only had two team members at the time and it was a perfect match for them.
"I'm bored no one has made a move to attack the other team for an hour and a half. I want to take someone out already." Dairin whined softly in annoyance.
"You know if you just start fighting without thinking that Sensei will just lock you in another genjutsu again." Asuma chuckled and gave Oni some jerky.
"Why do you always give him food?" Dairin questioned.
"So that I don't end up like the Uchiha you sick him on."
"Smart." Dairin commented and then turned to watch in the opposite direction from her teammate.
"Dairin!" Asuma whispered harshly.
Dairin sniffed the air and turned her head to the North. "Sensei is fighting two of the enemy, which leaves us with the other two."
Dairin smirked and began to make her way down the tree with Asuma right behind her.
"We need to regroup." She stated.
"Yeah but where is he-"
"Hey, guys did you hear Sensei start the battle?" Their last teammate said enthusiastically.
Dairin liked that about him he was always up for a fight, and majority of the time their Sensei paired them together to spar.
Shisui Uchiha was their last teammate, had the gorgeous Uchiha genes. But a head full of short wild curls, much like another Uchiha she knows, and a round face that always had a smile on it separated him from the others. He was the youngest of their team, being 13 years old, and a major player/pervert.
He wore a high collared black shirt that had the Uchiha clan symbol on the back on the neck, and black pants. He had a brown harness across his chest and fastened over both shoulders that held his tantō. He had bindings wrapped around his shins down to his ankles with black standard shinobi sandals. His headband was also worn across his forehead.
Both Dairin and Asuma face palmed, and turned to begin their search of the other two enemies.
"I'm guessing that's a yes. So what's the plan?" Shisui asked.
Their team was very leveled out. Dairin was a tracker and Taijutsu type. Asuma was strategist and Ninjutsu type. Shisui was a sensory and Genjutsu type.
"We need to dispatch of the other two enemies and then help sensei." Dairin answered.
"No we need to draw them to the battle Sensei is in. Then we can just take them down with team effort. They still have problems fighting as a team, so we can use that to our advantage." Asuma stated. "Dairin can you smell them out for us?"
"Sure."
Dairin stopped and closed her eyes. She smelled the air around her twice and then took off Northeast about a mile away from their Sensei's fight. The other enemies seemed to be going to join that battle.
"We need to go help Sensei. The others are moving toward her battle. Shisui you can get there faster than us go ahead, and keep them at bay until we can get there." Dairin demanded with a straight face.
"Got it!" Shisui nodded his head and then began to flicker past them and out of sight.
"You ready to slide Asuma?" Dairin smirked as she did a simple few hand signs and blew out a steady stream of water from her mouth. The water hit the ground and the two shinobi and ninkin jumped on the puddle and glided their way to the battlefield.
As they began to go a distance Dairin stopped blowing water from her mouth and used her chakra to keep it moving under her feet.
"I don't know why you just can't do that Shadow teleport thing you do when we train." Asuma sighed as he jumped over an uprooted tree trunk
"Ugh, I haven't perfected it yet. I can only teleport a couple feet away from where I originally was, and the only time I can teleport massive distances is when I panic. Even then I don't end up where I want to be, I end up in the complete opposite direction!" Dairin huffed with annoyance.
Oh she was going to kick some serious butt today.
They finally made it to the battle and seen Shisui holding off the two enemies they were after and doing a pretty good job.
"Dammit! Quit ogling the fight and get over here!" Shisui yelled behind his shoulder as he dodged a flying senbon and kunai.
"I'll go help him. You go and help Sensei." Dairin said as she took off for the lesser of the battles.
"Got it!" Asuma took off for the greater battle and stopped an oncoming attack headed for their Sensei's ninkin.
Dairin slid into the battle and stopped a kunai in mid strike clashing it into her own. She looked passed the blade and stared into a Sharingan eye.
"Hey there Bito, yah missed me?" Dairin grinned as she pushed back his blade and flipped back onto her feet.
"I don't know, maybe." He replied as he started hand signs, "Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!"
A few small fireballs blew her way, but she doused them with her own water balls. Though she wasn't expecting the kunai hidden in the fireballs, luckily Shisui flashed in and blocked them with his own kunai. They switched Opponents and she got to go after her rival.
"Hello again Rin." Dairin lazily greeted as she begun a series of kicks and punches heading for the mid ranged fighter.
"Dairin, you know you won't get him, all he sees is me." Rin smirked while dodging purposely trying to anger the redhead.
"Yeah, but you keep giving your attention to The King of Ice. I'm always there for him." Dairin grinned and jumped back as Rin threw a senbon at her.
Rin weaved a couple hand signs as Dairin came rushing at her. A wall of earth came forth from the ground to block the path of her assailant. Dairin charged her body with her lightning chakra, since she couldn't pool it into one area of her body yet, and barreled through the wall.
Rin went to throw a kunai at her rival, but the redhead just dodged it again. They exchanged a few more punches and kicks before Oni joined in the fight from nowhere.
The brunette was beginning to have a difficult time, but as she looked to the side she seen her teammate was trying to keep up with his speedy little cousin.
Oni hit her in the stomach with his massive tail and knocked the wind out of her. Dairin came up on her and was going to deliver a punch to her chest, but she grabbed her kunai and slashed Dairin in her left shoulder.
Dairin grunted and kicked Rin's feet out from under her while she was still slightly disoriented. As the older girl fell back Dairin jumped up, and straddled her to the ground quickly pulled out a kunai, and stabbed the blade into the ground next to Rin's head.
"You're dead." Dairin smirked and took off to help their sensei as she noticed that Kakashi took down Asuma.
Shisui and Obito joined into the big fight as well. Then everyone decided to go all out.
Everyone sat down on the grass as Anatsu and Rin began to heal all of the cuts and bruises everyone had. Anatsu always healed Minato last, because he insisted that the students were to be healed first.
She had healed the black eye that both Kakashi and Obito sported, courtesy of an annoyed Dairin. She giggled when they both winced at the contact she had to make in order to heal it. Dairin got tired of them both catching her in small genjutsus that she pulled her headband up around her eyes and slugged them both in the eye. Taking out a stunned Kakashi, whose Sharingan is still very sensitive and surprising Obito.
With how hard she hit them Kakashi's eye ended up bleeding from the old scarring around his eye and the tissue connected to his tear duct. He didn't feel anything at first because of the adrenaline and shock, but after sitting on the sidelines for a bit and Rin noticing his eye, he felt the pain surge through him. Rin had already begun to stop the bleeding and lessen the pain but she couldn't do much because she didn't have enough experience.
Everyone ended up stopping the fight so that Anatsu could tend to his eye. The burgundy haired woman was surprised when she got a medical look at Kakashi's eye, because the brunette had healed more than she thought. She healed the part of the damage done to his eye and stopped the bleeding in the scar tissue.
Anatsu sighed as she went to work and healed the rest of the damage done to his eye. It took longer on the scar tissue because it had healed on its own and was more resistant to healing than a fresh wound. She finished and healed the rest of the silver haired boy's wounds.
Rin had healed Shisui and Asuma, but she was about to heal Obito who had a pretty nasty cut down his leg. Anatsu noticed that Rin was slightly sweating and her hands were shaking.
"Rin did you eat before heading out to our training battle?" Anatsu asked the young girl who paused and looked at her superior.
"No I hadn't Anatsu-Sensei at the time I wasn't hungry." Rin looked down with a guilty blush on her cheeks.
"You should always eat before going on a mission or just simply sparring. As your body breaks down the food it gives you a steady flow of energy and replenishes your chakra. Take my water bottle and ration bar from my bag and eat. I'm proud of you for how far you have gotten, but disappointed in not taking better care of your body Rin." Minato told her with a light frown.
"You did a great job in healing Kakashi's eye. You heal almost half of the tissue and stopped the bleeding of the scar tissue. Good job Rin-chan." Anatsu praised her with a smile.
"Now as for you Dairin what were you thinking punching them in the eye like that? The Sharingan in more sensitive that the normal human eye, heck even Aruma's eyes. Besides that you know it's only been three years since Obito gave Kakashi his Sharingan. It took a full year for his body to get used to his eye, and another year for him to finally be able to see clearly out of it. He just learned how to deactivate it!" Anatsu yelled at her younger sister with disappointment.
"I'm disappointed Dai-chan, you know better than to let things get you angry so quickly." Anatsu sighed as she healed the last small wound on her sister. "Minato will get to decide your punishment because it was his student that you hurt."
Dairin just frowned and moved away from the group a few feet. She didn't want them to stare at her after she just got scolded by not only her Aneki, but also her Sensei.
"That's a pretty nasty wound their Obito. I think I'm gonna have to stitch it up and let it heal on his own." Anatsu sighed as she went through her bag pulling out a needle and thread.
"NO! Please just heal it Anatsu-Sensei, we don't need to stitch it up. It doesn't even hurt." Obito whined as he held back tears.
"I'm just kidding Obito." Anatsu laughed as she healed a now frowning Obito.
"Ok Namikaze, it's your turn." Anatsu stated as she let the green glow light her hands and placed them over Minato's chest.
"You didn't heal yourself, or Rin?" Minato asked confused about the lecture they both just gave Rin about poor self-preservation.
"Medics learn how to heal themselves without the use of their hands. Rin healed herself right after Dairin got her out, and I healed myself as I made my way over to heal Kakashi. How would a medic be able to heal others if they cannot even heal themselves." Anatsu smirked as understanding crossed Minato's features.
"Ok, I'm all done everyone is healed and good to go." Anatsu declared as she stood up and dusted off her khaki shorts.
"Alright now, both teams did a great job today." Minato announced.
"But there were still some problems that need to be worked on." Anatsu finished.
"But next time it's Students verses Senseis." Minato explained while Anatsu grinned.
"Anatsu –Sensei you're getting that look in your eye again." Asuma stated.
"I'm just excited to see how much you guys have grown. I haven't sparred against you three since the last teamwork test. But the catch to this next battle is that you will be training with the other team for two weeks. That is more than enough time to learn each other's battle strengths and weaknesses. Because you won't always be partnered with your team and you will have to learn how to work with someone on the battlefield. In two and a half weeks is our next battle so be prepared and see you guys first thing tomorrow morning." Anatsu informed the two teams.
"You six are dismissed." Minato smiled.
The teens all walked off together and the last thing that the two teachers seen, was both of their female students punch the youngest Uchiha from either side.
"He needs to learn to control his mouth." Anatsu face palmed.
"He will don't worry about it. He has an amazing Sensei who has made him into a fine Genjutsu specialist and sensory type." Minato smiled at the now blushing Anatsu.
"Let's get you something to eat since you gave your food to Rin-chan, mister I am going to lecture my student but do the same thing I'm lecturing her about." Anatsu imitated Minato's voice in the, but failed in the end.
Minato chuckled at this and the two went off to find a restaurant.
They walked in compatible silence, it was comfortable and soothing. Mayonaka tagged along walking in front of the duo, but occasionally looking back.
Minato was reflecting over the years. He thought about all the times where just looking at the woman next him, just watching her smile, made his day. When he was confused about his feeling, and she would grab his hand in excitement and drag him along. His throat would get tight, and his hands would sweat.
There were times when he would blush around her, and he would tell himself she was just a little too close. When he longed to play in her hair, again he would lie to himself. He would think, "I just want to know if her hair is more purple than red."
~~~~Mini Flashback~~~~
Their students had cornered him one day, asking if he had feelings for the oldest Hyō girl. He had said no and that they were just really good friends.
Most of them sighed in defeat, but Obito and Dairin just shook their heads at him.
Dairin had walked off, but before Obito followed he looked to his Sensei and said, "You're a horrible liar Minato-sensei. You should just tell her how you feel."
"Did you forget that you have feelings for one girl, yet fawn over another?" Minato asked with a smirk.
"No, I'm not confused anymore. I came to a conclusion on my feelings Sensei. I'm just waiting to see if she feels the same way to. At least I admit I like her." Obito replied coolly and walked off.
~~~~End Flashback~~~~
Minato sighed as he admitted to himself after a village festival that he had feelings for Anatsu. They had talked about their futures after they had enough of the crowds, sitting on top of the Hokage Monument.
~~~~Flashback~~~~
"What do you want to do in your future? Where do you see yourself in seven years?" Anatsu had asked suddenly as she stared at the village below.
Minato looked over at her, watching how she hugged her legs to her chest. Her head resting on her knees, as her hair gently blew in the breeze.
"I'll be the Fourth Hokage. I will have surpassed my master, and I will have a small, but continuing to grow family. I will have a wife who will stand by my side, and kids to cherish. I'll continue to protect the village until my last breath. What about you?" Minato asked as he looked back out over the village.
"That's the thing, I don't know." Anatsu said plainly.
"So you can't see anything for your future. What about a husband, kids, a family, restoring your clan? Don't you want to move up in the world? Go places and see things that you haven't had the chance to?" Minato interrogated her, not fully believing she didn't know.
"I don't really see anything ahead of me because all I have done and know how to do is live in the present. I found out at a young age that something can be taken away from you in a flash." Anatsu chuckled at her own words. "My whole clan was massacred before my eyes. Everyone I loved had been taken away from me and my siblings, and I have no idea why. It hurts knowing I couldn't do anything to stop it. But it also makes it hard to let people in, sure I have friends, but I'm afraid to love someone for the fear of losing them too. Having a family would drive me insane with worry and fear of losing them too. Aruma and Dairin can, they are still capable of letting people in. Dairin was too young to fully understand, and Aruma has grieved all he can. I just can't let it go." Anatsu said as she gave a sad smile.
Minato looked at her and noticed that she was silently crying.
"Well wherever you make it, I'm sure your parents will be proud." He ended the conversation letting the woman cry, but also showing that he was there for her.
~~~~ End Flashback~~~~
They made it to the restaurant getting a booth and sitting across from each other.
Anatsu reached up and pulled her hair out of its messy bun and let if fall down. Her long bangs naturally fell down and covered the left side of her face. Her hair looked like a purplish-red waterfall with how wavy it was.
She sighed in relief and hazel eyes looked into deep blue.
"So is being a Sensei still fun?" Minato chuckled as Anatsu flung her hair tie at him.
"Well with the kids on my team, it never gets boring I can honestly say." She smiled at him.
"Of course! You have the son of the Hokage, and Uchiha, and your little sister. Two of which you didn't even want to have for a first team." Minato smirked as she pouted at him.
"Have you tried to teach Dairin a jutsu? She has mediocre chakra control, and gets easily distracted. Don't let your team walk by or I have to threaten to burn her Pocky in order to get her attention back towards the lesson. I didn't want an Uchiha because they are all snobs. Lucky I got an Uchiha, but one just like Obito. Although I was happy to know that he isn't habitually late." Anatsu slouched in her chair and through her arm over her face.
"Dairin told my team that you practically forced Shisui to be a genjutsu type." Minato laughed.
The older Hyō female smiled at the memory.
~~~~ Flashback ~~~~
Dairin and the new kid were walking towards the training grounds. Anatsu was waiting in the trees, far enough away from the training grounds so that she could watch them, but still go unnoticed.
Anatsu smirked to herself. She had laid out a genjutsu trap to test the new kid out, but at the same time train Dairin to be able to break them. The trap was difficult enough to throw a chunin off, but weak enough to that any jounin would have instantly dispelled it.
She really wanted to have a genjutsu type on her team. That way she could teach them all she knew, since she was a genjutsu master, and so that they could help their teammate out in the field.
When the two crossed over into the trap they seen Anatsu, but then enemy ninja would attack. Dairin fell for it and tried to fight them off, while her teammate instantly dispelled it. Well she could hope an Uchiha would be able to do that, with how early they train the children.
"Where is Anatsu-sensei?" Shisui asked as he looked around.
Dairin was still fighting off the enemy, and Anatsu dropped down from the trees and patted the boy on his head.
"Good job Shisui. You are a natural Genjutsu type; you were able to dispel my trap almost instantly. That would have thrown off most chunin, and it didn't even affect you." The oldest female said as she helped her sister out of the trap.
"But I don't want to be a Genjutsu type. I know I am a natural, my uncle told me that, but I want to be a Ninjutsu master." Shisui explained.
This caused Anatsu to halt in her next sentence, he didn't want to be a genjutsu type. Yet he had the ability to be the best in the world, even greater than all of his ancestors. The burgundy haired woman paused and thought over his words.
"Shisui, do you know how talented you are? You could be the greatest genjutsu type in the world, plus you have the Sharingan to make it even better. You could go so far and you could still be amazing at ninjutsu. You could surpass your ancestors and make a name for yourself, why would you want to give that up? Besides you could just copy Jutsu with your Sharingan and perfect them during training. I promise I will make you a genjutsu master and help you surpass me and any other." Anatsu lectured the boy.
Shisui thought about it for a minute and just looked at his Sensei.
"Plus I could get my twin to teach you some awesome ninjutsu." Anatsu smiled at the boy whose eyes just shined.
"Yeah I could be awesome and all the ladies will love me!" The boy fist pumped the air.
Dairin and Anatsu both face-palmed and shook their heads.
"Alright you two let's get started, since you both are ahead we will hone you talents. You will try to find me and then trap me. If you aren't going in with the intention to take me out you won't catch me." Anatsu smirked.
"How do you know that I could just find you with my Sharingan." Shisui stated smartly.
"She can trick a Sharingan and a byakugan. She's a sensory type and knows a ninjutsu to fool your doujutsu." Dairin replied with a sigh.
"If you don't catch me before lunch time I will allow you to have the help of a team." Anatsu smiled.
The two kids cheered, but she quickly killed the buzz, "But you will have to catch their sensei as well before sunset."
With that the burgundy haired female took off.
~~~~ End ~~~~
"I didn't force him! I just encouraged him to use what he has to make himself better than those before him. I just pushed him into the right direction." Anatsu shrugged as she looked over the menu in front of her.
Minato looked at her with a smirk. "That direction just so happened to land him a one way ticket into being your apprentice."
Anatsu chocked on air when she heard that. She didn't want to have an Uchiha as an apprentice. Majority of that clan was naturally gifted in genjutsu. The reason she was so adamant about Shisui becoming a genjutsu type was because he was a prodigy. His skill level was far above his clan, and he was SO YOUNG!
"No I don't want an apprentice! I want to teach all of my students, but I want to pass down my abilities to my family. If I had an apprentice they would be well disciplined and probably become a mini me. I couldn't have that; no one can take my place!" Anatsu declared with her fist pressed into her palm.
Just then the waitress came up and took their orders; she came back with their drinks and a plate of Dango.
"Here are your drinks and a plate of Dango." The waitress said, but before she could take off, "Um miss we didn't order a plate of Dango."
"Shut up Minato, this is a blessing and you need to count it. I know I certainly am!" Anatsu said as she picked one up.
"Oh this is on me, you two love bugs are adorable. Now enjoy your dinner."
"Um ma'am we aren't dating, we're just friends." Anatsu cleared the air as she put the stick of Dango back down.
"Oh I'm sorry for my mistake, but you two would be a cute couple. Oh I need to stop I'm making things awkward. Go ahead and enjoy the Dango my treat for assuming things. I'll be back with your food." The waitress said as she began to walk away.
It was silent for a couple of minutes before Minato spoke up. "She was right."
Anatsu's chest tightened, because she had already told him. Here he goes feeding off of the old waitress's ideas. She was scared of what was going to come out of his mouth next.
"She really did make things awkward haha." He chuckled.
Anatsu paused and burst with laughter, at herself and Minato's lame joke.
By the time the waitress came back with their food the burgundy haired female was in tears with laughter at all of the blondes lame jokes.
"Okay, okay we need to stop. The food is here and my sides hurt." Anatsu breathed after she finally calmed down enough, and decided to take a drink.
"Yeah we better stop before the chef comes over, and arrests me for rotting his food with my jokes." Minato laughed.
Anatsu tried to hold in her laugh but failed. Then Minato learned why not to make jokes while she was taking a drink. It came out of her nose and all over her shirt and his as well.
Dairin was at home reading a romance book that took place during the warring era.
She was lying in the middle of her bed, with her legs straight up resting on the wall. One hand was holding her book, while the other was pulling on Oni's tail when she got to the good parts. Otherwise it was softly twisting his tail around.
She was getting to the part she had been waiting for when the underdog came back into the picture and swooped up his love. With his amazing new abilities, and hidden potential finally reached and mastered.
"He was leaning forwards, tantalizingly slow. His breath ghosting over her lips, tickling them, yet making her shiver with excitement. Yuri closed her eyes waiting for their lips to finally meet in a long awaited reunion.
Daisuke pulled the back of her head closer to him until-,"
'KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK'
Oni nipped at Dairin, making her realize how tight she was holding his tail.
"I'm sorry Oni." Dairin called after her Panther, who jumped into the tree outside of her open window.
Another knock altered her to the culprit of her unfinished love story. She stomped down the stairs in a particularly irritable mood. She was at the climax of the story, and when she was done she was going to raid her ane-chan's bookshelf for something else.
Dairin wrenched open the door with force, scaring the person waiting on the other side.
"Obito, this better be good. You just caused me to stop reading right before the best part of this book." She fumed
"Well I was coming to ask you-," Just then Anatsu and Minato teleported to the house.
The older Hyō was running up the stairs, with what looked like strawberry soda, down the front of her shirt. It looked like Minato-sensei had a little bit on his shirt too.
"Anatsu hurry up, the waitress said she could only hold our table for 5 minutes." Minato yelled up the stairs.
"Well you go change at your house, then come back to get me!" She screamed back.
Obito was confused, but looked back at Dairin who was glued to the inside of her book.
"Dairin?"
"Yes Obito?" she replied, while still reading her book.
"Yuri I have waited for you for so long. Will you do me the honor or marrying me?" Daisuke proposed to the shocked bluenette.
"Dairin would you like to go on a date with me? Obito asked his crush.
And BAM! I will leave you all with a cliff hanger until the next chapter! If you have questions feel free to ask me. Aruma and Kushina will have their own chapter dedicated to them... So will Obito and Dairin! which will probably be the next chapter or the one after.
Thanks for the love and support. I am going to bed now... running on 2 hours of sleep isn't good for someone like me right now.
