Chapter 6

More Of Jord's Past Revealed

And A Hyuuga?!?

"Hmm, I thought that was just a frightening jutsu…", commented Jord.

"humph…well your rong…it is no ordinary technique…",Gaara replied.

"At any rate you are strong Gaara…", Jord then cut himself off.

"Jord what's wrong?", asked Minmin.

"Nothing…look…?", Jord answered.

Minmin looked where Gaara was once sitting. Gaara was gone, he disappeared out of thin air. Minmin and Jord looked shocked. They stood there for a few minutes.

"Man, I'm bored.", cried out Naruto.

Naruto disappeared from sight. A moment later so did Jord. Minmin then followed. Jord kept on leaping through the forest.

Jord fell silent.

"Jord, are you-", Minmin said.

"I'm fine..", Jord replied

"I have something to say about your past", said Minmin.

"What?", asked Jord in a mean tone of voice.

"I-I…", she couldn't bring herself to say it.

"WHAT IS IT?", Jord yelled.

"After you were knocked out from Itachi…I came in.", She said.

"Hunh?", Jord asked confused,

"I fought him… I couldn't let you know that…", she began," One, I couldn't tell you because you were gone for years, Two, because I thought you might get mad at me and everyone else…".

"No, I am happy Minmin, now I know about more about my past, I just cant believe you were apart of it… weren't you a chunin then?I really don't remember much of my past...", Jord explained.

"Yes, I was a Chunin.", she replied.

"You were strong back then…", Jord admitted,"Much stronger than me…you had a lot more chakra control than me as well."

"You didn't practice, but somehow you became stronger.", She said.

"Heh…", that's all he had to say, then fell to a small frown.

The kept on proceeding through the forest. They made it to the gates of Konohagakure by night fall but, the gates were closed. They looked up nodded at each other and jumped over the gates.

Waiting behind the gates was a person with blank eyes. Jord and Mimin were curious. They walked over to the boy. He looked at them sharply. Then, they knew immediately what clan he was from. The Hyuga!

His byakugan activated. He ran towards them with a katana hidden under his long shirt sleeve. He was going so fast They couldn't see what he looked like. He sliced Jord's sleeve and Minmin's sleeve off. Then persisted on fighting. Jord and Mimin went at him with no intent to kill. At the same time they knocked him out.

"What was that all about?", asked Jord.

" I'm not quite sure…", replied Minmin.

"Hmph I thought he was better than that", said a voice that sounded a bit old.

"Third Hokage?", Minmin and Jord said at the same time.

"Yes, it is me. I saw the fight. Very short, I thought he would have made a nice gate guard.", Third Hokage began to speak in short sentences, " Tonight was his first test."

"Really? We're sorry.", Jord apologized.

"Honestly we are!", said Minmin.

"No don't be, He passed.", Lord Hokage replied sincerely.

"What?", they were both confused.

"Look."

They turned around and saw the knocked out Hyuga on the ground poof away. Out of the dark came the boy he hit Minmin in the face and she flew past Jord. Jord caught her. She stood up immediately. She moved faster than ever and hit him in the face. He poofed away again. He came around and swung at Jord. At the speed of light he grabbed the punch, poked him in several places and threw him down to the ground.

The boy did a few hands signs. He tried to summon something but failed somehow. Then he realized his chakra points were closed. He ran at Jord and Jord didn't even glance. He knocked him out in one poke to the neck.

The boy fell.

"Now does he pass?", asked Jord as if he wanted the boy to fail.

"Yes, he does.", replied the Hokage.

"Why?", asked Mimin.

" I was grading him on a different criteria.", The Hokage replied.

"What criteria then?"Minmin asked once more.

" Persistence, strength, and most importantly, will... Will to stop his enemy."

"…why'd he want the job lord hokage?", asked Jord.

"His father wanted him too, he wanted him to improve his strength, besides training, he still does that.", The Hokage answered sharply.

They stood there for a while.

"I know somehow that it may sound parentish… but you need to get to bed… it's about midnight.", Lord hokage brought up," We really shouldn't be out at these times anyways, it is quite odd that the villages of Sunagakure, and Otogakure, have halted their attacks for now. We haven't rebuilt anything they destroyed, becasue we know they will come back soon..."

"What about him?", asked Mimin.

"He can rest outside tonight…heh?!", Hokage chuckled.

"Goodnight Lord Hokage!", Minmin and Jord said, walking slowly away watching Lord Hokage wave to them.

They walked separate paths. Minmin reached her house. Jord went an odd way. He walked down the road of the Uchiha clan's area. When he reached his house he began to remember his horrible past.He remembered his fight with Itachi.

"You may be strong enough…but do you really want to test that?", Itachi asked.

"You told Uchiha Sunori about that sharingan…that's why he wanted to fight me…", Jord began to sob.

"You're so annoying", Itachi began, " You are not strong enough to defeat little Sasuke…HA", He began to laugh.

"Well…well.", Jord couldn't think of a comback.

"Ha,ha,ha, you can't even think of a verbal comeback.", said Itachi in a very low tone.
