Author's Note: Here is the second chapter. One my first chapter, I got over a hundred views. Woo Hoo! For the next couple of chapters, each one will focus on an Orihara. Please favorite and follow. Reviews will be good.

I do not own Naruto.

"So your clan has this Kekkei Genkai called Kinesis, and it allows each member the ability to create and manipulate a certain element?"

"That is true Konan," replied Trystan. He recently told the Ame orphans the history of his clan, including the tale of his ancestor Takashi Orihara.

"The story of your ancestor is amazing. Too bad he gave in to corruption," complimented Nagato.

"Every member of the Orihara clan that had umbrakinesis were said to gone corrupted," Trystan explained. "I'm afraid that it might happen to me. People said I already became corrupt from birth because of my eyes. Members of the clan usually have dark brown or onyx colored eyes."

"I think your eyes are super cool," said Konan. Trystan smiled at the compliment. Konan was the second person to compliment his eyes.

"Don't worry Trystan. When I become the god of this world, I'll make sure that you'll never be corrupted!" exclaimed Yahiko.

Trystan snorted. "No man can become a god. I probably can defeat you in a fight. Hell, Nagato has a better chance of being a god than you. He has the rinnegan, which were owned by the Sage of Six Paths himself and are known as the eyes of God."

Yahiko frowned. "Okay then. Let's have a spar. You against me against Nagato. We'll prove who's capable of becoming a god."

"Wait, why do I have to participate?" asked Nagato. This caused Konan to giggle. Now she began to become curious on who would win in a three way fight. She was eager to see Trystan's moves. They haven't had a training partner since Jiraiya, and it has been a year since he left them.

"Because. Trystan complimented those eyes of yours and how special they are. Because of that, you are automatically part of the spar." Yahiko explained. He became determined to win this match and prove that he can become a god of the ninja world.

"Fine, fine" Nagato said with a sigh. He obviously didn't want to participate, but he now knows he doesn't have much of a choice. The three boys walked outside of the cave where they have been occupying. It was still raining outside.

"Can't we fight when it's not raining? It's been a long time since I've seen sunlight," Trystan said. He wasn't used to this much rain. Sure it rained back in Whirlpool, but it never rained this much.

"We are in the rain country, where it rains constantly. Now stop complaining already," said Yahiko as he got into fighting position. Trystan and Nagato also got into fighting position. The three of them were at the same distance apart. Konan was at the entrance of the cave, as she was eager to watch the match.

"Suiton: Mizurappa! (Water Release: Wild Water Wave)" Yahiko cried out. A gush of water came out of his mouth and was shot at Trystan. Using his umbrakinesis, Trystan condenses shadows into forming into a shield, blocking the water that came after him. Trystan then forms shadows into a giant shuriken. With his might, Trystan threw the shuriken at Yahiko.

"Shit," Yahiko muttered. He barely managed to dodge the attack. Taking advantage of Yahiko's distraction, Trystan unsheathed his sword and ran toward. Shadows attached themselves onto the sword, covering it. Trystan didn't want to hurt Yahiko and Nagato at a serious level. Yahiko saw Trystan come at him and took out a kunai to defend himself.

However, what Trystan did next was something Yahiko didn't expect. Trystan pointed his sword at Yahiko and shot a piece of shadow at Yahiko. Yahiko managed to dodge, but the shadow knocked his kunai out of his hand. Yahiko shot another burst of water at the Orihara, but Trystan used the shadows on his sword to construct a shield. Creating more shadows, Trystan used them to create small shurikens and threw them at Yahiko. The Ame orphan managed to dodge, but Trystan unexpectedly shot another piece of shadow. This piece hit Yahiko square on the chest, knocking him down.

Yahiko tried to get up, but the shadows starting to wrap itself around him. "What the?" Yahiko asked. Before he knew it, his arms were pinned as he was in some kind of shadow cocoon. "I can't move! Can you get me out?"

"Wait till the spar is over. I still have to go up against Nagato," Trystan replied. "You know I can solidify shadows into weapons, shields, and tools." Nagato had observed the fight between Yahiko and Trystan. From what he understood, the young Orihara can manipulate the shadows and turn them into solid weaponry with his mind, but he does need to use his chakra. Nagato finally believed how he can overcome Trystan's moves.

"Alright Trystan, now it's my turn to face you," announced Nagato. The young Uzumaki already knows some of the six paths abilities his rinnegan allowed him along with some wind style jutsus. Konan was eager to watch the match between Nagato and Trystan. She was a bit surprised that Yahiko lost due to the fact that she and Nagato always trained with him, but she knew Trystan would have some tricks up in his sleeve.

"Okay Nagato. Show me what you can do!" yelled out Trystan. He knew that Nagato would be a challenge due to his rinnegan. Fighting a person with the rinnegan was exciting for Trystan, especially when the rinnegan user is an Uzumaki. Trystan haven't sparred with an Uzumaki, but he would always get into fights with a particular member of the clan. 'I wonder if you survived Kushina. You were always a hot tempered girl,' Trystan thought as he chucked to himself.

"Your move, Trystan." Nagato responded. He got himself into fighting position as he prepared for whatever move Trystan would use. Konan leaned forward for a slightly closer view of the fight. Trystan told the orphans earlier that the Uzumakis and the Oriharas always had a competitive rivalry with each other. This is the first time she would see that rivalry. Yahiko watched the two boys, but he still struggled to get out of the shadow cocoon.

Trystan ran toward Nagato with his sword pointing at him. Trystan shot a couple of projectiles of shadows at Nagato, who had his arms forward and hands wide open. "Shinra Tensei!" Nagato cried out. The projectiles were instantly repelled and shot back at Trystan. The Orihara used his sword to absorb the incoming shadows. 'Great. Projectile weaponry won't work on him. Guess I'll have to get close,' Trystan thought. He shot more pieces of shadows from his sword, but at the ground instead of Nagato. Nagato raised an eyebrow as he wondered what Trystan was up to.

Trystan shot a piece of shadow below him and melted into it. 'This is new,' thought Nagato. He went into defense position and waited for Trystan to strike. Konan watched as she wondered how Trystan will attack. Yahiko, who was still struggling to get out of the cocoon, was also curious on what Trystan is up to.

All of a sudden, Trystan popped out from a shadow behind Nagato and swung his sword at him. What he didn't expect was a third arm that caught him by the wrist. 'What the hell?' he thought. What he also didn't expect was two right arms punching, with one at the chest and the other at the stomach. The double punch set Trystan back through the air, making him let go of his sword in the process. When he got up, he saw Nagato with four arms.

"What in God's name? Nagato, I think you gave me a concussion or something. For some reason, you have four arms," Trystan said. Trystan didn't know what to think of it. For him, it's very unnatural to see someone with for arms.

"Don't worry, I was using my Asura Path. It allows me to create mechanized limbs, armor, and weapons like these," Nagato explained as he pointed his extra arms at Trystan. Their hands popped opened and missiles were shot out, heading directly towards Trystan. "Holy shit!" the young Orihara cried out. He created some more shadows and constructed it into a dome. It was able to shield him from the missiles but got destroyed in the process. "Shinra Tensei!"

Trystan felt his body being pulled forward and saw that he was heading towards Nagato. As Trystan was getting closer, Nagato spread his right arm open and waited for the young Orihara. When Trystan was close enough, Nagato punched him. The hardness of the punch and the speed he was being pulled was able to knock Trystan out.

Nagato smirked as he knew he won the outcome of the match. Konan came running towards them, smiling. "You guys were awesome! Congratulations Nagato."

"Thanks Konan," He said with a smile. "You could have joined the match. Maybe you could have changed the outcome?"

"I would have, but you guys made this match over your God complexity," Konan said with a smirk. Nagato laughed. He had completely forgotten why they had this spar. He was so focused on the match, he was oblivious to they started it in the first place. "Help me get him back into the cave. Konan nodded and picked up Trystan's legs while Nagato picked up upper body. Together, they carried the unconscious Orihara back into the cave.

"Huh, guys?" Yahiko called out. "I'm still stuck inside this cocoon. Anyone going to help me? Hello?" Yahiko wiggled his body but still struggled to get out. "Nagato? Konan? Trystan? Anybody? I'm still in this cocoon. My legs fell asleep, and I can't move them. Guys? Can someone please help me out? I'm starting to get hungry. Can anybody come and get me out? It's still raining. Come on guys, it's not funny. Please help me?" He sighs. It's going to be a while until he gets out.

Three weeks later, Trystan has been living with the three orphans at their hideout. Whenever they would get hungry, Trystan would always help them out on stealing food. Ever since they have been taught ninjutsu and shinobi training by Jiraiya, Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko were able to successfully steal food without getting caught. Although they still felt bad for stealing, they would always make up for it.

Trystan actually made it easier for them to steal food. Due to the fact that he can travel through shadows, Trystan used that ability to quickly steal food without anybody noticing. This never failed to impress the three orphans as they were thankful for Trystan and his Kekkei Genkai.

During the time that Trystan stayed, the four of them would frequently spar. Most of the time, Nagato would beat Trystan. However, the young Orihara would always catch the rinnegan user off guard from time to time. Sometimes, they would fight in pairs. Usually they fight as Yahiko and Trystan against Nagato and Konan. Konan's ability with paper closely resembles to how Trystan manipulates shadows. This benefited Yahiko because of the similarity. However, he would always be the first person to go down thanks to the combination of Konan's paper made projectiles and Nagato's wind style jutsus. Plus, Yahiko's water style techniques would always be absorbed by Nagato thanks to his Preta Path ability.

With Yahiko being the first one to go down, Trystan would always have constant trouble with both Konan and Nagato. Trystan couldn't help but wonder if the two of them were meant to become partners. Trystan could easily dodge the projectiles threw by Konan just by traveling through shadows, but Nagato would always predict where Trystan would pop out thanks to his rinnegan. This would help Konan as she would shoot multiple projectiles at places where Trystan would pop out. However, sometimes Trystan would shoot out projectiles of his own from the shadows and would eventually wrap her with shadow chains or tentacles.

However, this would always leave Trystan against Nagato. The young Orihara couldn't figure out how to overcome Nagato and his rinnegan. Trystan figured out that Nagato cannot use his paths at the same time, and he can only use his Deva Path abilities every five seconds. While this gave Trystan enough time to use his shadow traveling ability to get up close to Nagato, the rinnegan user would always be prepared by switching to his Asura Path which drove Trystan crazy. He couldn't handle all those missiles coming after him.

However, Trystan finally created a way to beat Nagato. It took place during a spar the group had recently. Trystan has already took down Konan. He was already in the shadows as Nagato was waiting for him to pop out. Trystan came out of the shadows with his sword drawn.

"Shinra Tensei!" Nagato cried out. Trystan was sent back flying, but he dispelled into smoke in midair. "What?" Nagato was confused as Trystan has never done anything like this before. Both Yahiko and Konan were also confused and surprised as well. Unexpectedly, Trystan came out from Nagato's right.

However, Nagato managed to jump back at the last second, dodging the punch. To his surprise, black chains shot out from the shadows and wrap themselves around the rinnegan user. Nagato squirmed and wiggled to get out of the chains, but Trystan manipulated the shadow chains to tighten around him. Nagato sighed and smiled. "Looks like you win this one. You definitely caught me off-guard."

"That was amazing," Konan said. "When did you learn the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu) Trystan?" Both Nagato and Yahiko looked at Trystan as they too were interested in their friend's answer.

"Well, it is known as the Kage Bunshin. In order to keep the name true, I used my shadows to form a perfect duplicate of me," Trststan explained. He knew about the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu because he has seen shinobi use that technique. While Trystan was thinking of a way to distract Nagato, the technique came to his mind. "However, I knew Nagato can sense me, so I had to divide my chakra into the clone just like the technique does to the user."

"Impressive," complimented Nagato. "You are truly someone I can call a rival." Konan giggled and Yahiko smirked. Nagato wasn't always competitive, but it was always amusing when he was.

"Thanks," Trystan responded. "I can say the same thing with you." Nagato gave a smirk. "So, what do you guys feel like eating?"

"I'm in the mood for fish," Nagato responded. One of Nagato's favorite foods is grilled fish, and he was definitely in the mood for some grilled fish even though he lost to his new declared rival.

"I'm also in the mood for fish," declared Konan. "Same here," said Yahiko.

"I guess we're having fish then," said Trystan. "Yahiko, I'm going to need your help on catching the fish."

"Okay," Yahiko replied. "Nagato, Konan, please get the side dishes ready." Both nodded and headed back to the base. Trystan smiled. Ever since the destruction of Whirlpool, Trystan thought he would never make any new friends. But now, he was proven wrong. He could still remember the time he made his first friend.

Flashback

A five year old Trystan Orihara was playing with his small, squishy ball. He would always toss it up in the air and catch it when it came down. Other times, he would throw the ball at a wall and would try to catch it when it rebound.

He was at the park, tossing his ball. His older brother Skyzor was supposed to be watching him, but he was doing something else. Kazuto already graduated from the academy and became a genin. Their mother, Kasume Orihara, had just become pregnant with Neo.

On his next attempt, Trystan threw the ball too hard into the air. He watch as his ball came down, and he moved around in order to catch it. Because he was too focused on his ball, he wasn't paying attention to his surroundings.

In the next moment, he crashed into something or rather someone. When he looked up, the first thing he saw was the angry face of a red headed girl his age. "You baka! Next time, watch where you're going!" she cried out.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to crash into you," Trystan replied. He grabbed his ball and held it up. "I was just playing with my ball."

"Well if you're going to crash into me again, I'm going to pound you dattebane!" she threatened. She held up her fist close to his face to prove that she will go through with her threat. However, Trystan giggled. The girl didn't know why he giggled, but she did not find it amusing. "What's so funny?" she asked.

"You," he responded. The girl was confused with his answer but didn't like it. She grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him closer. "What do you mean I'm funny?" she asked. Trystan chuckled.

"The fact that you think you can threaten me. I'm from a powerful clan. You can't hurt me," Trystan responded. The girl responded by punching him in his stomach. Compared to an adult's punch, a child's punch couldn't even remotely hurt. However, it caused Trystan to wince and bend over a bit.

"That's what you get for underestimating me. I'm also from a powerful clan," The girl said. She glared at Trystan as he got up. "Next time you insult me, I'm going to make sure that it'll definitely hurt dattebane."

Trystan looked up at her. "What clan are you from?" he asked. He recognized her hair because he saw people with the same red hair.

"I'm Kushina Uzumaki, and I'm from the Uzumaki Clan dattebane!" she exclaimed. Trystan eyes went wide open. He heard of the Uzumaki Clan. His father mentioned that the Uzumakis are the most powerful clan in Uzushiogakure, even powerful than the Oriharas. "Now who are you?" she asked.

"My name is Trystan Orihara, and I'm from the Orihara clan," Trystan answered. Kushina tilted her head. She heard of the Orihara clan. She was told they were a powerful clan in Uzushiogakure, but not as powerful as her clan.

"You have some weird eyes dattebane," said Kushina as she noticed his red eyes. Trystan looked away. He didn't like the way how people would talk about his eyes. It would always make him feel sad and different. He looked at Kushina and thought of a comeback.

"Well, you talk weird with that word dattebane. Also, your hair is as red as a tomato. Do you wash it with ketchup?" Trystan was hoping she would back off, but what he didn't expect was the scary and angry look Kushina had her face. She turned her hand into fist and drew it back, and then she shot it forward.

The fist connected to Trystan's face, knocking him down. Kushina cracked her knuckles and prepared to continue to more damage to Trystan, but the Orihara started laughing. "Why are you laughing? I just punched you dattebane!" she yelled at him.

"Because you're a fun person to be with," his answer continued to confuse Kushina. "You did punch me, but it was because I made you angry. I guess I deserved it."

Kushina smirked. "You did deserve it dattebane. I have to give you credit with that great comeback. Only someone that brave can say that to me. Also, you didn't run away after I punch you. Looks like you're a fun person to be with also dattebane."

"Want to be friends?"

"Sure."

Trystan smiled. Kushina became his first friend. Despite the threats and the punch, Trystan was glad this encounter took place.

Flashback end

Trystan smiled. He had good times with Kushina. He still wondered if she survived and if she did, where was she? 'Maybe I might get to meet her again. I wonder if she's thinking of me as well,' he thought. "Come on Yahiko. We have some fish to catch." Both boys left to get the group's dinner.

Author's Note: That was Trystan's chapter. The next chapter will focus on Skyzor and Neo. Also, every chapter will have a flashback scene of the Orihara's days back in Uzushiogakure (Land of Whirlpools). Please favorite and follow this story. Reviews would be awesome. See ya next time!
