Chapter One.
"-Children tomorrow is the big day, the final exam will be held at 8am don't be late! Remember that if you want to become Konoha's Ninja you will have to pass successfully."
"-Hai !"
The bell rang to their happiness, they all rose hastily except Jiraiya who remained seated, his eyes fixed on his shoes. Minato and Heaven noticed the absence of the pink and returned to the classroom. The brunette went to sit beside him, she placed a comforting hand on his shoulder to get his attention and made him her best smile, Jiraiya returned it before going back in the observation of his sandals, which seemed very interesting right now for him. The blond raised an eyebrow and gave a questioning look to the future Kunoichi who replied with a shrug. An anxiety sigh escaped the mouth of the Uzumaki with ocean blue eyes.
"-I will fail ... I 'm not a genius like you Minato." Jiraiya said with eyes full of sadness.
"-Jiraiya-kun, you shouldn't worry about that, you're very good at Ninjutsu you'll pass, and I'll train with you tonight."
"-Heaven-chan! Thank you, you're an angel."
"-And what if we start now? Heaven, I will help you with Taijutsu and launch shuriken, and you Jiraiya for Genjutsu and Taijutsu."
"-Minato you're the best!" exclaimed his two friends in chorus.
He gave them a warm smile as an answer before asking them to follow him. The three children went to the training ground of the old team seven.
"- What are you doing here?"
They turned hastily in fear but were relieved when they saw that it was just one of the new Jonin of their village. The jonin was tall and muscly, he has blood red eyes and black crows hair with the headband front of Konoha to retain some flyaways, his beauty was equal to his strength, Sora the son of Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi was one of the best shinobi of his generation. He leaned against a tree and gave them a smile to greet them.
"-We came to train, the exam is for tomorrow." said Jiraiya while staring at him.
"-I see. You have trouble with some jutsu?"
"-I suck at Taijutsu, and throw Shuriken is not my strong point either." confessed Heaven lowering her grey eyes.
"-For me it's like Heaven-chan for Taijutsu and I'm really an idiot with Genjutsu." said Jiraiya crossing his arms behind his head. "actually no one is worse than me."
Sora started laughing which provoked the laughter of the three children. However all went in a flash, a loud cry escaped the throat of Heaven, the Jonin fell down on his knees, his lungs pierced by a weapon. Jiraiya pressed himself against the tree by withdrawing himself terrified by this show, Minato widened his beautiful emerald eyes and pulled out a kunai. A half smile appeared on the face of a Ninja hidden by a cloak, pulling his sword he licked the blood of the Sarutobi. In a low voice, he said :
"-You will all die. One by one."
Ensued a cruel laugh that froze the blood of the three children, he disappeared in a cloud of smoke and Sora's body fell to the ground. Jiraiya strongly bit his lower lip tapping the ground with his fists and then everything went black, he was immersed in a far away world and he heard Heaven screaming his name.
"-Haaaaaaaaa !"
Jiraiya stood looking around him, his watch showed 3am. He ran his hand over his face and realized it was just a nightmare, he heaved a sigh of relief and went back to bed, he took the frame that was on his nightstand, a picture of his team. The team number 2, Sarutobi Sora had a hand on the shoulder of Minato and the other on Jiraiya while Heaven was in the middle and showed her biggest smile, all four had the headband of Konoha. He touched the picture with his fingers and whispered :
"-A nightmare ... That day Sora-sensei helped us and we passed the test ..."
Flash back.
"-Okay children, we're going to start the exam, we will call you one by one. Those who have already took the test can wait outside so they won't reveal the technique that you have to perform. Am I clear?"
"-Yes Udon-sensei." all his students answered at the same time.
"-Moegi-sensei will call you, I'm waiting for you on the other side of the academy."
"-So we will start by Uzumaki Minato."
"-Hai!"
Minato stood up from his seat under the screams of some girls who encouraged him, Jiraiya grimaced and stuck his tongue out at his brother who replied with a smile, Heaven simply nodded, confident that her friend will succeed.
"-Ah Minato, so are you ready ?"
"-Yes Udon-sensei." he said calmly, crossing his arms.
"-So for this year we have the Ninjutsu. It's simple you must successfully control a Ninjutsu in connection with your affinity, for you it's the futon and Doton, no ?"
"-Ninjutsu ? Okay." he cast a smile. "don't close your eyes sensei, you'll miss the show."
Udon wore his glasses and stared at Minato, wondering what he was going to do. Minato focused his chakra in one of his hands and with the other hand he was doing rotations with his chakra he then added some of his wind affinity in his jutsu and formed a tiny version of the rasenshuriken, Udon's eyes widened in surprise.
"-Futon : Rasengan!"
"-Minato Wooow ... you ..."
"-I found it strange that you asked us to work our Ninjutsu since the begining of the year, I thought that it could only be the subject of the final exam, so I asked my father to teach me the Rasengan, this is not really a futon technique but I was able to personalize this jutsu with my affinity as you can see. Now, I'm working my new jutsu, Futon : Rasenshuriken but my father forbade me to use it. It is an S rank jutsu." he explained annulling his rasengan.
"-After all, you're a genius ... just take your headband you deserve it, congratulations. Uzumaki Minato you are officially a genin of Konoha."
"-Thanks Udon-sensei."
Minato tied his headband on his forehead and left the room under the cheers of his comrades, he made them a hand sign while smiling before going near the entrance and sit on the swing where his father had passed his childhood waiting for the others.
"-Uzumaki Jiraiya, you're next." announced Moegi .
"-Hmm .. yes" he replied, swallowing his saliva.
Jiraiya walked slowly and hesitantly, he kept swallowing and imagining scenes where he failed. Shaking his head from left to right he whispered to give himself courage, if his brother had succeeded why not him? But Minato was a genius, he tapped his forehead and drove all these ideas of his head and entered the room.
"-Oh hello Jiraiya, as you see your brother has passed the exam, are you ready?"
"- I do not have a choice Udon -sensei ..."
"-Come on, don't be so worried. So the theme is Ninjutsu ..."
"-Really? you are serious sensei ? Ninjutsu !" He cut him while his eyes were sparkling with happiness and he was jumping everywhere.
"-Yes Jiraiya , a Ninjutsu related with your affinity Suiton."
"-Yataaaaaa ! Admire sensei !"
Jiraiya, a big smile on his lips began to make some sign then said aloud :
"-Suiton : Water bullets!"
"-Amazing Jiraiya."
"-Hinata-san taught it to me. Not bad eh?"
"-Uzumaki Jiraiya, congratulation, you're officially a Konoha's Genin take your headband."
"-And who's the best? The great Jiraiya-sama eh eh!" he said while fixing his headband and laughing.
Jiraiya went to join his brother, the two twins congratulated each other then waited for Heaven.
"-Well, Uchiha-Hyûga Heaven."
"-Yes Moegi-sensei, I'm coming."
Heaven crossed the room under the gaze of her comrades, she heard some murmurs about her eyes. Heaven had both Sharingan and Byakugan making her an enemy to fear and a prey to every village outside the alliance Ninja, but she only use the Sharingan for now, being unable to control the Hyûga's Taijutsu. Her hair was now long and straight, the same haircut as her mother, she wore a red top above her navel with night blue pants and standard Konoha's sandals besides a long black jacket with the symbol of the Uchiha on the back which looked like the one Tsunade wore.
"-Ohayo Udon-sensei."
"-Heaven what a pleasure to see you, well the theme is Ninjutsu, but you have two affinity?"
"-Yes I have Raiton and Katon."
"-And which one do you want to use?"
"-Katon for sure."
"-Okay, go ahead." he said , smiling at her. "she looks so much like Sasuke I see she has more Uchiha's blood." he thought.
Heaven nodded, relieved not to have to use Taijutsu. She closed her eyes for a moment. She turned to her right and put her finger near her mouth.
"-Katon : Great Fireball justu!"
A huge fireball came out of her mouth and struck the wall which was destroyed by it, unlike the Rasengan this jutsu could not be canceled. Udon's face turned blue while pulling the collar of his top.
"- If this technique touches me I'm dead." he thought.
"-Oops ..."
"-Wahouu ...that was great ... Uchiha-Hyuga Heaven, congratulations, you're now a genin! here take your headband."
Heaven bowed her head and thanked him, she took her headband and rushed to her two friends, Jiraiya took her in his arms while Minato gave her a smile full of pride.
"- Go, go to Ichiraku everyone!" said Jiraiya , all happy.
"-Yes but don't forget that we'll know our team and meet our Sensei at 13pm."
"-Don't worry bro, we will be on time."
Flash back end.
A smile appeared on the lips of the shinobi, that day they ate more than four bowls each and arrived late to the academy, but they were so glad when they heard that they were on the same team and their Jonin sensei was a newly appointed one but he certainly was one of the best. He put away the picture and closed his eyes to be lulled into sleep.
"- Jiraiya ! Wake up you lazy."
Sunlight came to tickle the sleeping face of the Uzumaki who narrowed his eyes before getting up hastily looking at his alarm clock, he stretched then crossed the emerald eyes of his twin who was near the door of his room, already dressed and ready to go.
"-Hello Minato you're such a morning person." he said while closing his eyes wanting to sleep a little more.
"-We have a mission, did you forget?"
"-Huh ..."
His beautiful ocean eyes widened, he threw his blanket and got out of his bed at full speed, Jiraiya stumbled on his pillow and fell back under the laughter of his brother. The pink haired Uzumaki cursed while getting up and running to the bathroom to change. The blond left the room and went downstairs to wait for his twin, Jiraiya joined him fastly while tying his headband and taking his backpack, Minato laughed while staring at his brother who was having some troubles to get ready.
"-Help me instead of laughing!"
"-If only you saw your face... Come on, hurry up Sora-sensei and Heaven are for sure getting impatient."
"-Heaven-chan!"
Minato rolled his eyes and began walking followed by his brother. Arrived at the gate they saw the Ninja with blood red eyes against the wall while the holder of the Sharingan and Byakugan had crossed her arms looking at the sky, leaving her long dark hair bath in the fresh air. Sora was the first to notice the two remaining members of his team, he greeted them with a hand sign and Heaven gave them a smile. Both Uzumaki came near them and apologized for being late.
"-Sorry sensei it's because of this baka." said Minato pointing his finger at his brother.
"-Rhooo Minato ... I had a little trouble to get up, excuse me."
"-It doesn't matter don't worry, so now everyone is here we can go."
They nodded and threw themselves into the forest of Konoha jumping from one branch to another at full speed. Sora started the race and his three students followed him closely not wanting to lose his sight at any case. An hour later, the Jonin stopped putting his hand on a tree.
"-Hm ... There is something wrong here, Heaven please can you examine the place with your Byakugan?"
"-Yes Sora-sensei." she puted her finger near her face and focused on her chakra to awaken her hereditary bloodlimit, her veins began to appear. "Byakugan!" she finally revealed eyes as white as snow with a red pupil which let Sora speechless.
"-I guess the red pupil is due to the Sharingan" thought Sora.
"-Then Heaven-chan?"
"-Jiraiya, give her time to examine the place."
"-There is a group of four people in the North, they should be here in 15 minutes, their headband is strange I've never seen it before."
"-I see ... You three don't move from here, okay?"
"-Where are you going Sora-sensei ?" Minato questioned raising an eyebrow.
"-They are outsider, they may be enemies, I want you to stay here and wait I won't take a long time"
"-But Sensei, we can help ."
"-No Jiraiya you will wait for me here it's an order. I'll let one of my clones here.
Sora summoned a clone who went to stay near the three Genin then the Sarutobi made a few signs, muttering a jutsu between his lips before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.
"-Tsk ... I bet that it's all going to end badly." Jiraiya muttered, crossing his arms.
"- Boys ... something or rather someone approach ... I don't see them but feel a presence."
Neither one nor two, Minato armed himself with a kunai and kept watching all around them while Jiraiya scratched his head wondering how this person or these people could escape the Byakugan of the beautiful heiress but then he remembred that she wasn't very good at using it. The sound of a crack of a branch woke him out of his deep reflection, Heaven hastened to compose several seals activating her Sharingan instead of the Byakugan. Her eyes resembled those of all the Uchiha, the only difference is that she had a translucent red color because of the Byakugan.
"-Katon : Fireball justu!"
A fireball escaped her throat and hit a tree, four people fell to the ground. Two were almost unconscious in the arms of two women with a cloak hiding their faces.
"-Who are you?" asked Minato.
"-Geez it's just a bunch of kids ..." threw one of the Kunoichi pulling out a Katana and charging ahead towards Minato who dodged at the last second.
"-Wowowowow calm down, leave my brother alone. You have no right to be here young ladies."
"-I'll take on these kids of Konoha" said the second who appeared to be the team's leader.
She inspected her opponents in a mocking gaze at the first look they don't seem very dangerous she took a Shuriken and threw it on the clone of Sora, who disappeared without showing a sign of opposition. Jiraiya made some signs.
"- Suiton : Water bullet."
The woman made a backflip dodging the attacks with grace before counterattack with a Katon jutsu that Jiraiya merely avoided, she added a Doton technique to enclose the three Genin. Heaven calmly watched the fighting style of the woman and her techniques using her hereditary eye while Minato protected her from enemy's attacks.
"-Minato-kun, I have what I need. These women are not as strong as they seem, they are only Chunnin. I need 3 minutes and we'll be rid of the first."
Minato gave her a nod and went in a position to attack, he sketched a slight smile before rushing to the first Kunoichi, a fight with Taijutsu began and the blond had the upper hand, he didn't let any time for his opponent to form a seal, he hid two of his clones behind a tree.
"-Heaven now!"
"-Genjutsu!"
The pupil of the young Uchiha widened traping her victim in a deep illusion. She stopped moving and fell into the arms of Minato. Jiraiya looked at both his brother and his friend impressed with the plan that they had in such a short time. Minato looked at his brother and smiled.
"-The Genjutsu is one of the specialty of the Uchiha brother, and you should know that our heiress is very good with it. Heaven was watching the movements of the enemy in order to know when to use it and she didn't had any intention to copy her technique, she doesn't have the Doton style and knows a lot of Katon jutsus." explained Minato watching his friend who just shook her head in a positive answer.
"-Now, the second one." Heaven whispered to her two teammates.
The woman pulled out her katana and went on a defensive position.
"-I will not let you have them." she said, glaring at them.
