CHAPTER I
The Opening

Six years have passed. She is now known as hyperactive happy idiot ramen lover boy, a dead last moron. After she went into academy, the villager is not chasing her around anymore, but they still booing and sent many death glares every time she walked on streets. They don't know that, a dead last student is having ability more powerful than the kages. Yes, Uzumaki Naruto, in the real name of Uzumaki Minami is already mastered seals that she learned from the secret forbidden master sealing book that is said was lost, which she founds in the deepest darkest most forbidden part of the basement in the Hokage Tower. With the Sandaime's permission, she takes it with her.

She has mastered ninjutsu, kenjutsu, taijutsu, and even genjutsu. She also has many of her own techniques, which is sharingan free. She is very powerful. Her main affinity is wind and water, which she already mastered. Her other affinity is light, a veryveryveryvery rare special element, and fire, which almost mastered. She is also having a little thunder and earth, but just a little.

Because she's already mastered seals, she managed to repair the seal that is sealed the Kyuubi. Her soul and the Kyuubi are still connected, but she can materialize the Kyuubi in her fox form or in her human form. Yoko agree to let her borrow her chakra when needed and will give it automatically to heal. She also has changed the view and type of her 'cage'. The cage is no longer a cage, but more of a red transparent wall of energy that only Minami can pass, and the Kyuubi, if she wanted to get out in Minami's permission. The view insides the Kyuubi's cage is changed into forest-like scenery, so the Kyuubi felt 'homey' in there.

She's also finds out that she has bloodlines, which is an ability to bend water and ice, and a doujutsu called Eyes of Space, which have seven levels of it. The eye's iris will be colored midnight blue and black pupils, with small tomoe ring it, half size of the tomoe on the sharingan, and the tomoe is colored white instead of black. The amounts of tomoe that appears on the eye represent every level she already gained.

The first level of the Eyes of Space has the ability to see the spirits in the spirit's world and summons them for aid in battle. It can be also seeing through everything.

The second level has the ability to have all of the affinity, except the combined one, like wood, and the special one, like time.

The third level has the ability to understand animals. It is kind of Inuzuka clan with their dogs, but it more universal. So, it works with every kind of animal.

The fourth level has the ability to manipulate people's minds, kind of like Yamanaka's clan jutsu, but more powerful.

The fifth level controls over time, stops it, slows it, or even makes time go faster.

The sixth level has started to begin scary. It has the ability to bend blood and chakra flow inside the target's body. It's very deadly and a bit evil depends on the holder.

The final level is the Eye of Void Space. In this state, the iris will be colored space-like. All tomoes on the eye will be turned into thousand stars-like in space. The pupils will be turned into sun colored. The eye is seems like representing the void scene of space, with sun that always be the center of a galaxy. It has all the power in the universe. Whoever got the final eye, can be someone to end or change the world. However, there's a price for it. When you activate the final level, it's not only drains chakra, but also the life energy of the user.

Right now, Minami already gained her fourth level, and of course, her bloodline is still a secret, except for the Sandaime Hokage, which Minami made him to keep the secret for himself, so the council didn't even knew.

She even had her own weapon, two swords that can slice even if it just touched a little. It so sharp, you'll be sliced into two before you even know it. It was made by Yoko and Minami herself. Using the finest quality of strongest steel, and infused it with the Kyuubi chakra and her own chakra, bond it with her own blood. The holder part is shaped as dragons, and at there's nine flame tongue and a shape of fox as the symbol on the swords. Those two swords, the design are exactly just the same, but the colour of the blade were different, one is blue-silvery, and another is red-gold. Those swords are only beaten by their sheer elegance and beauty.

When the swords are united, the sword will became one, and the color will change to reddish white flame. When the sword is united, she called it Soryuuha, Wave of Two Dragons. In this state, the sword is having the ultimate sheer elegance and beauty that swords can have. Those weapon itself can turn into two short sword, as the temporarily shape, and will be back into the real shape when she's activating it.

The sword will grow stronger and unbreakable as she became stronger herself. Her swords are following the strength of its holder, which makes them really unique. It's the result of her and the Kyuubi's research and learns of weaponry for two years. The sword is bonded by her own blood, so she's the only one that can use the sword.

And, there's a girl with same age as her, joining her four years ago. She is Hyuuga Hinata, the one and only friend she had. She has the same hate like Minami, but her hate is towards her clan. Her clan was so arrogant. The thing that she hated most is the caged bird seal, which divide the clan into two, the Main House and the Branch House. She hated it because it makes their own brother or sister or cousin or nephew or niece, as slaves of the Main House. She hated it with all her heart. She hate all the Main House members, except her sister, since she's still pure, not yet corrupted by the typical minds of the Main House members. Hell, she even hates her father!

Four years ago, she can't stand it anymore. At that time, she is still a weak girl that has no self confident. She has the thought of being useless. Her father tests her, yet she still failed. She already let out her best, yet her father say nothing but, how weak is she and she should have been in the branch house. He's not even appreciated her hard work. He then said that she's not his daughter. That's snaps her. She makes a fast run towards the door and leaves. When she's running away from the Hyuuga estate, she met Naruto. He asked why she's running like that. She told him the reason, and he's willing to help her. She was led by Naruto to the Forest of Death, to the beautiful spring she never sees before. At that place, Naruto told her who he really is. A girl named Uzumaki Minami, with ability level at high chuunin, and a demon vessel. She was friend with Naruto, and she gladly accept her for who she is, which makes Minami very happy. To have a true friend that receives her with open arm.

Four years training with Minami, out of her father knowledge, of course, makes her really strong. She learns how to use many other jutsu, out of the family jutsu. She mastered kenjutsu, ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu and high advance medical jutsu. The Kyuubi even said that she have potential to even surpass Tsunade, the Slug Sannin. She also has her own techniques, like Minami, and also sharingan free. Her main affinity is water and thunder, and she's mastering it perfectly. Kyuubi said she may be able to surpass the Nidaime. Her other affinity is earth, that in progress, and a little fire and wind, very little.

From the Kyuubi, she now knows another secret about her bloodline. Her bloodline is not just a mere improved line of sight, a 360 degrees field of vision and the ability to see the inner coil system that transports chakra through the body, but more. There's another series of Byakuugan, called Byakuu Tsukigan, or White Moon eye.

It said that the Byakuu Tsukigan is a very rare one, and only comes once in 100 years or more. The appearance will change slightly from the usual eye, when activating it. When activating the Byakuu Tsukigan, the eye's color will be seemed like the moon itself. It has the ability to, not only see and change the flow of the target's chakra, but also drained it, once the user's chakra and the target's chakra is connected. It can also be drained by direct skin contact. For someone that already perfectly mastered it, they can drain it just by eye contact.

There's another power of Byakuu Tsukigan, which is a mysterious one. The mysterious part of the power said to be different to each holder.

The power of Byakuu Tsukigan is will at the maximum state in the night of full moon. The only Hyuuga that ever gained this eye is the founder of the clan. After he died, no one ever gained it and it lost in history.

In the middle of her training with Minami, she awakens her Byakuu Tsukigan. She kept it hide from her father and other family member. She knows that she will be only to be a breeding stock if she told them. She already trained her new ability, and now she can drain someone's chakra just by touching their chakra with her own chakra that burst out from their body. As for the mysterious power, she didn't have or knew it yet.

She does also have a self-made weapon too. Her weapon is a sword that can absorb enemy's chakra and use the chakra to strengthen itself, for temporarily time. The more chakra it absorb, the time before it wears off is longer and stronger. She called it Shoushiryuu, Midnight Dragon. It was made by Minami and Hinata, with help of the Kyuubi, also bonded with Hinata's own blood. The design is not too different from Minami's, but instead of flame tongue and fox, there just a magatama planted. The coma-shaped pearl itself was shockingly beautiful shiny white, as if it was fall right from the heaven. It was Hinata's last birthday present that she ever received from her beloved mother before she passed out, after giving birth of Hanabi.

The sword blade was silvery white, the color that matches perfectly with the pearl. Her sword also can be hiding as a short sword, and the sword also follows the strength of the holder, just like Minami's Twin Dragons. Her sword is the same like Minami, stunningly beautiful and very elegance.

Both of them not only have power, but also speed. They put up gravity seal on their clothes, and in total, their clothes is weighing about 600 lbs on each one of them. Because they used gravity seal, not a real weight, their body is still slender and not muscled too much. In other words, they carried 600 lbs clothes all the time, and their body is stays the same, slender and flexible. Even so, they have monstrous strength like Tsunade, almost.

Her relationship with Minami is much unknown to people, since in academy she pretending to be a shy stuttering girl, and Minami as usual moron Naruto. Outside the academy, they've spent their time in the hideout. Hinata also makes some animal friends, the white tigers and wild pigeons. Minami's animal friend is, obviously, the wild foxes, wolves, and the wild eagles. They already trained them to be ninja fox, aid wolf, and spy eagle. Hinata have hers trained also, to be battler tiger and scout pigeon. Thanks to Minami's ability to understand animals, it makes them easier to train.

Minami have five foxes, three wolves and ten eagles. Minami's foxes are Aqua, medical specialized fox. Her healing techniques were taught by Hinata, and her defensive and offensive is taught by Minami. She is high in chakra control and she is very smart, but she is low in strength. She has sea-blue fur. She was calm yet friendly. She was the calmest of the other foxes.

Next is Aero, tracker specialized fox. He is fully taught by Minami, his high speed, also with his offensive and defensive. His fur is forest green, perfect to blur in his surrounding.

Next is Pyro, attack specialized fox. His strength is the highest, but a little down at defensive. Minami also taught him fully. His fur is red, as if made by flame, like the Kyuubi's. He is the hyper one, as if a mirror image of Naruto's hypering acts, but Pyro is smarter.

Next is Terra. She is high on defense, but low in speed. She has brown color fur. She is a little stubborn sometimes, but she is loyal. She also taught fully by Minami.

The last fox is Rai. He is the second in attack. His only weakness is in his temper. He's gotten mad very easily. His fur is bluish purple. He also taught fully by Minami, but taught to hold his temper by Hinata.

Minami's wolves are also a very great aid, but the foxes are more can be counted on in battle. The wolf is usually used just to guard or to aid outside the battlefield, since in combat, the foxes do better.

Minami's wolves are Rikku, as thief specialist. Her fur is golden yellow, kind of like Minami's golden blonde hair. Her ability allows her to steal possession of the enemy, such as scrolls or any other carry able items.

Second is Peach. She is the nicest one, but get really scary when she is angry. Her fur is peachy color. Her ability is in her hearing. She could hear sound of bugs from 500 meters away. Her ear is very sensitive.

Third one is Gale. He is a stubborn one. His ability is in sending messages. He can finds his target easily, that's why he's perfect as messenger. His fur is oak-ish brown.

For the eagles, they all have been trained as messengers/spies . Minami sneaked in all her eagles, to make them seemed like Konoha's messenger eagles. Every time the eagle is sent or back with messages, it all will be stopped by Minami first, before reach the destination. So, you can say that no news or incoming news that Minami doesn't know.

As for Hinata, she has six white tigers and four pigeons. Her tigers are Shun Ran, as healer. She is kind of like Aqua, but more active.

Second is Mai Rin, as defender. She is kind of like Terra, but softer.

Third is Qiu Quan, as partner of Mai Rin, he is also a defender. He is cold hearted, and only softened near Minami, especially Hinata. But, the other tigers do not hate him, since they know he is loyal.

Fourth is Zhaobi, as attacker. His strength and stamina were great, although still beneath Pyro, but he is still great. He owned his life once for Hinata, so he vowed that he will be Hinata's eternal guardian.

Fifth is Yingyue, as Zhaobi's partner, as an attacker also. Her stamina is above Zhaobi, but still beneath Pyro. But, his strength is lower than Zhaobi. She is Zhaobi's sister. She also vowed to protect Hinata with all her live.

Sixth is Xiao Xu, as tracker. She can track danger and sense other presence from 500 miles away. She is very calm, yet the very dangerous one. The only one she respects is Minami and more Hinata.

The four pigeons, is all for scouting and spying, they all Hinata's eyes. They scout throughout Konoha, and all of the fire country, and no one suspicious about them. They gained information throughout Konoha even better than the Hokage and even Jiraiya their self.

In other words, they have grown into a very strong shinobi. Their pets is also even smarter and stronger than Kakashi's nin dogs and they all most loyal. Hinata and Minami always treat their pets very well, and they really are care about them.

Their live in Academy, in town, even at home, almost all of it just an act. To hold their power and their chakra amount, both of them using two kinds of seal. They call it Phoenix's Chains seal and Dragon's Grasp seal. They use it to keep their power in 20. Even like that, Minami still in high-Chuunin level and Hinata in mid-chuunin level.

Later that night, night before the graduation exam, the two girls (from outside, one of them is a boy, actually. Since Minami doesn't release her henge yet) sit near the spring. They were just done practicing and just successfully mastering their own newest original techniques.

"So, Nami-chan. Tomorrow the genin exam will be held. Will you pass with flying colors, or staying with your mask?" Hinata asked. Minami then chuckled. "Nah, I think I'll just keep on with my mask. It's kinda fun to see their faces if I pass with flying colors, thou. But, no."

"Yea... love to see their faces too. On to another matter, do you still going to stick up with the plan?" ask Hinata suddenly, Minami then lowering her head.

"I don't know, Hina-chan. I'm starting to like Iruka-sensei and that old man at Ichiraku ramen stand, even his daughter, Ayame. They're nice. Also, now I know that Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime, is my father. He protected this town very much, and I can't destroy it, for my father's honor," she said unsure. She just found out about her father two months ago; when she sneaks into the Hokage's Tower, to finds information about the Kyuubi's attack, since the Kyuubi is too stubborn to tell. She didn't finds anything. Instead, she finds a scroll that tells about her. She is the daughter of the late Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime Hokage, also the last one of the holder of Eyes of Space doujutsu.

She is shocked realizing the truth. The one that sealed the greatest tailed demon, the Yellow Flash, the Yondaime Hokage of Konoha, is her own flesh and blood, her own father. She then finds out that he actually wanted the villager of Konoha treated her like a hero, but yet they treated her worst than they treated trash.

He may have thought that the villager will do his last bidding, due to he did save the village many times, or maybe he was so naive. But, anything he might think is, the real was they couldn't even do something as simple as that. The villagers owe the Yondaime and her big time. He is saving the pathetic village, even from the last war, but yet they couldn't do his only one last wish, that is treated her with respect.

"I understand, Nami-chan. I hate Hiashi and my clan, but yet, part of me is still having a little bit of respect to them, and even him, as a father. I know that in my actual power, I can defeat him easily. But, I can't do it. Part of me still seeing him as a father, and I can't hurt him," Hinata confessed. She wants to beat his father, but yet, she can't hurt him either.

Hinata knew that she is so naive, to hope her father will change. But, that never happens. Even though she is mastering ninjutsu, taijutsu, kenjutsu, and advance medical jutsu, she suck in family jutsu, since she rarely use her byakugan and rarely practice the Hyuuga's family jutsu. She used to use sword, ninjutsu, and sometimes taijutsu. She often uses water element jutsu, for any jutsu. Now, she can convert her chakra to water, like the Nidaime Hokage, and to thunder.

"Then, we just have to wait the time pass by. Maybe then, we don't have to do our plan, although we are having more than enough comrade and allies hiding here and outside the village. They all just need to wait for the cue for the plan. Even we cancel the plan, they will be willingly help us anyway, right weasel?" Minami said as a figure appeared beside them.

"Long time no see, horse tail. How's your day?" Hinata asked friendly and mockingly at the same time. "Nothing much to do and I'm bored to death, pearl. And please, don't call me horse tail," the figure said with boring tone. "Your hair does looks like horse tail to us. For your boringness, that Mummy is wanted to play, and that ice boy just has to always tailing him. Don't blame us if you felt that boring. At least, you can still practicing with others," Minami said. Then, the figure then look at Minami (Naruto, actually) and rolled his eyes. "Can you just release that henge? It's already three years since you release it I wonder how'd you looked like now, Nami-chan," the figure said, but still in the darkness. Minami seemed thinking, but then she does a seal and releases her henge. "Kai!" she yelled, and then there's smoke surrounded her.

Inside the smoke, there stand a beautiful girl with golden blonde long hair that ended slightly above her knees, bright blue eyes and whiskers birthmark on her cheeks. Her body posture is... quite curved well for twelve years old girl. In short, she is hot, very hot in near future. Her skin is still tan. She has slender and long legs and arms. Her skin is smooth like silk, also with her hair.

"..."nothing the figure can say. "Well... this is me. I leave my hair long since I... don't know. I never cut my hair since in henge, my hair is short, so I never really thought about cutting it," she explains. "Well, Minami-chan, even your whiskers mark in place, you still beautiful," Hinata tell her. "Thanks, Hinata. You do have a cute face as well. If not because of your baggy jacket that hide your body, you'll look hot as well. I know. Isn't that right, Ita-kun?" Minami give a smile and smirked to the figure. The figure realizes it and, if not because of the shadow, you can see his face blush, a little. "Whatever do you mean?" the figure asked in annoyance. "Aww, you know what I mean," she said in sing-song voice. "That's it. I'm leaving," he said.

Before he left, Minami called him. "Itachi, before you left, told them that there's might be a chance that we cancel the plan. For now, they still have to act like usual. And, please find the eight-tail for me in your free time. I heard that his tenant is having a veryvery bad treatment. Kyuubi also wants to meet her friend. He might want to join us," Minami said in a serious tone. Itachi know what it means, and he replied, "Don't worry. We'll find them. I'll tell them those things you want me to tell, Minami-san," with that, he left.

"Well, it seemed he's embarrassed," Minami said, back to herself. Hinata pretend to not care. Then an idea struck at her mind. "Hey, Nami-chan," she called. "Yes?" asked Minami. "Back to the previous conversation, we're going to take the graduation exam. I think that you shouldn't pass. Then, we can take that as an opportunity to steal the forbidden scroll," Hinata tells her. Minami seemed interested and let her to continue.

"We'll make it like this. It is obvious that Mizuki, one of the sensei, hates you as much as the villager. If we can take it as an opportunity to make him to make you steal it, you wouldn't get into any trouble. The Hokage will probably thinks that you only tricked. That way, we even can get Mizuki get what he deserves. Beside, we all knew that Mizuki only pretends to be friendly, even to Iruka," Hinata explains.

"Yes, you're right. Iruka-sensei deserves more than a low-life two-face ninja like Mizuki. I think I have an idea. Tomorrow I'll let you know. I'll meet you again tomorrow night. Sarutobi-jii san will be suspicious if I'm not in my room when the Anbu check up on me. Bye, Hinata!" she said, then she teleported back to her little old apartment.

"Well, bye...?" she tried to replied, but Minami already teleported away. Then, thinking nothing to do, she also teleported back to her room at Hyuuga estate. Before she leaves, she already leaves a kage bunshin. The only one that knows is Hanabi, her sweet little sister.

Hanabi is a shy girl, but she also has self confidence. Just say that her personality is well balanced. But, her problem is she has sister-complex syndrome. For her, her sister is everything. From her big family, all she trusted most is Hinata. For her, Hinata is not only a sister, but also a mother figure, a teacher. Of course, she is having treatments and attention like an heiress, when Hinata almost get none. All Hinata gets is just attention and treatments as heiress from the branch members. The main members? None. They see her as a worthless weak little girl. But, Hanabi loves her sister, and hate her father for being such a meanie. Although so, she still cared her father, but she cared her sister more. For her, Hinata is her role model.

For Hinata, Hanabi is a sweet little sister, but she feels a little jealous to her. She gets what Hinata always want to get, an approval by her father. She does have talent, even though not as smart as Neji, the Hyuuga prodigy. She is now get more attention from father, and deserted Hinata more.

Hinata loves her sister, that's not a lie. But, she also hate her sister, because of her jealousy and because her mother died because she gave birth to her. Her mother, the one she always loved, died because she gave birth to Hanabi. She blamed her for their mother's death. And, before Hanabi is born, her life is fine, although still not perfect. But, it's still fine, because her mother will be there for her. Her father is not yet comparing her to anyone else, except Neji. She still can accept it, because she still has her mother to encourage her.

But now, her father compare her to Hanabi, that Hinata have to bitterly admit, have talent like Neji in mastering Juuken. Even though she held hatred towards her, Hanabi doesn't know anything. She's still innocent, and that's why she's still can love her as an imouto.

"You're not sleeping yet, Hanabi?" ask Hinata softly. Her little sister is sitting in the corner of Hinata's room. "I can't, nee-san. I'm afraid..." she said as she walks towards her. "What are you afraid of?" ask Hinata softly again, when Hanabi is reaching her. "I'm afraid of darkness. I'm scared of the being lonely, nee-san. Can I sleep with you?" she pleads. Hinata hugged her, try to comfort her. "Of course, imouto. Why not? C'mon, let's get to sleep. We wouldn't want father to be mad again, just because we're late for morning training now, would we?" Hinata asked softly. Hanabi shook her head. "Then, come on," Hinata push her back gently and after the kage bunshin as gone, they go to a peaceful sleep.
