Chapter 4
Team 7 missing a certain blonde member arrived at the Uzumaki compound. The compound itself was completely sealed off from Konoha with it's own gates and private Shinobi squad that patrolled the area and two of the Uzumaki Elites stood by the entrance gates.
Out of the two guards one of them was a very entrancing woman in her late twenties with long blonde hair that draped down her back in overwhelming length. She had deep blue eyes and a slim figure, the oddest thing was the Daisho that hung at her hip in a Samurai fashion. Next to her stood a young boy of maybe eight or nine years old, He also had the short Uzumaki blonde hair, but unlike Naruto, the only had one eye while the other was sewn shut. .
As they neared the boy stepped forward. "Please, Konoha Shinobi, state your name and business," he said in a low voice with a bright smile. "Jounin Hatake Kakashi escorting, Genin Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura, we are here to pickup fellow Genin, Uzumaki Naruto, " the boy nodded and motioned back to the older woman to open the gates and allow them passage.
As they stepped forward through the gates, with the speed of a viper a sword sat lightly at Sasuke's neck. Not even Kakashi had seen her draw the sword "The Uchiha will not be allowed on Uzumaki ground Hatake Kakashi," Sasuke turned to her with his Sharingan in a fury. "You bit…"
He was interrupted by Kakashi glaring at him roughly. "We have permission from the Hokage and Uzumaki-Sama to retrieve Naruto," Kakashi said as Sakura look on in shock. The much younger boy nodded to Kakashi and suddenly the blade was gone. Waving the woman off the boy walk forward and signaled for Team 7 to follow him.
As they drifted in the Uzumaki compound the boy started talking to them. "As you can guess Uchiha-San your clan is not welcome nor allowed on these grounds and as Mariko-Sama has showed, the rule is kill first ask questions later," he said coldly. Sakura looking back and forth between finally just ask. "Why is that?"
"Uzumaki Kiyoshi," he smiled at her but before he could answer Sasuke spoke up first. "Uchiha Itachi, before his attack on the clan he invaded these grounds and killed Uzumaki Sachiko the heir of the Uzumaki Clan,"
"And Naruto's older sister," she said in comprehension. "But why would he do that?" Kakashi laid a hand on her shoulder in comfort. "When he defeated me he told me it was to test his abilities," Sasuke said quietly. "My mother laid on the floor dead next to my grandfather and my uncle, Itachi wanted to see how strong he truly was," he shove his hands into his pockets and the wind appeared softly hiding his eyes under his hair.
Kiyosha nodded slightly this was also the reason he gave to Master Ryuu as well. Finally he stopped short and turned to face the downcast group. "Just ahead is the Head families dojo, it is here that we will part and I wish you all luck," and just like that he simply turned and walk off. Ahead of them was a large structure created in a ancient Japanese architecture that was used before the great war. With the shogi doors wide open they could easily see Naruto, knelling in the middle of the floor. Outside of the dojo stood a taller older man with broad shoulders and wild gray hair.
"Begin" they heard the older man say. Suddenly Naruto was surrounded by at least four beings in dark clothing. "Defend yourself Naruto, hand to hand only, Begin." A man charged in with his sword held high and suddenly Naruto was a hurricane as he attack, parried and counter attack his enemies.
"His skill is impressive no?" Sakura nearly jumped as a man whispered in her ear. "Y--Yes he is," barely catching her breath as she look up and saw it was the man who was outside the dojo a second ago. 'He's scary' she thought to herself.
Sasuke who had been watching the sparring with attentive eye finally turned to the older Uzumaki man. "How does he do that, Uzumaki-Sama," The older man turned to him and gaze at him as if seeing him for the first time but the look was gone just as quick as it came.
"That is the result of the Bouseigan, one of it's special abilities that we use, during a battle is the 'eye' that can 'see' and learn the technique of any individual." The older man chuckled slightly. "Naruto has fought these ninja before and could probably defend himself with his eyes close," Suddenly he clapped loudly. "Does it copy their techniques?" He asked as they watch Naruto disable a man twice his size with a well place open palm.
"No, the technique is not copying." he sighed. "It's more like remembering something, if you punch 1000 times you will always remember how to punch and that technique will become reliable, The Bouseigan works the other way if someone hits you and it connects, that pose and tightening of the muscle, the way the chakra increased will be remember and countered," Suddenly he clapped loudly. "Even if it's Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, if Naruto lives through it will never be a threat again," He nodded towards Kakashi slightly.
"But when you introduce another participant into the dance the Bouseigan simply can not keep up enough with out the use of more dangerous techniques," On the engawa another ninja appeared launching kunai and shuriken at Naruto before she dashed in with impressive speed, Soon Naruto was completely on the defensive and losing ground the five Shinobi who he had been simply playing with before. "He's never fought her before and with all five of them attacking him at once, The Bouseigan can't process that much information all at once," The head of the Uzumaki clan said as Naruto retreated swiftly gaining several cuts on his chest and arms. He started heading back towards the Dojo leaving Team 7 behind.
"He's learning her attacking pattern, strength and range," Kakashi told them quietly "Every time a human being moves for anything there is a shift of muscles, as Ninja we are taught to conceal this movement, but even we have problems with it, Once his Doujutsu sees that movement, Naruto will know exactly what the technique is and how to counter it or avoid it," He look at them to see their stunned expressions. This was the legacy of the Uzumaki clan. "This is what they call the 'eye' of the future, the other three 'eyes' abilities are shrouded in mystery," Kakashi finished his lectured.
"That's enough Naruto your team is here," and suddenly the man was gone. The sparring section instantly came to a ending with Naruto bowing slightly to his sparring partners. Naruto wore a large smile on his face as he turned towards his team. His first team mission was today.
After a quick shower and gathering fresh clothes Naruto joined Team 7 outside the Uzumaki dojo. "Ready Sensei," They started walking back towards the Uzumaki compound until they were past the gates and back among the Konoha forest. Naruto turned towards them suddenly as if remembering something. "They let you guys within the compound without an escort?" Naruto ask wondering since he didn't remember seeing one. "No Kiyoshi Uzumaki escorted us through the compound but left when we came upon the dojo," Sakura said while sliding away the long pink hair that drifted into her green eyes.
Naruto nodded. 'That sounds like his normalcy' Naruto thought "Hey Naruto how did Kiyoshi become a guard when he's so young?" Even Sasuke grunted slightly at her question. "He's the eyes for Mariko-San," seeing their confusing looks he explained. "The Uzumaki clan unlike the Uchiha and the Hyuuga, we are born with the Doujutsu activated, we learn to deactivate it before we learn to walk if we don't it will eat through our Chakra reserves in less then a week, Mariko-San was born without the Bouseigan and thus when she came of age she was giving a choice on what she wanted to do with her life," Naruto grinned.
"She became a Samurai," He laughed at their incredible looks.
They continued talking amongst themselves with Kakashi chipping in on their conversation. As they approached the borders of Wave village, Kakashi signaled for a rest. Kakashi gathered them all around him and started explaining. "I didn't tell you about the mission in town because I didn't want it to leak our full intention," he reach into his Jounnin flak jacket and pulled out a small scroll. "Our original mission was to investigate a small labor dispute, rated as a low level C mission, but the Hokage received new information and our informant has told us this place could be handling the prostitution of children and even an illegal slavery auction," Kakashi glanced at the stunned looks of the children. To his surprise though Naruto look more then disgusted, he looked furious.
'I'll look into that later,' Kakashi thought. "Our first objective is to establish a small base which we can gather information and seek out our informant and maybe even give him a safe house if it goes bad, Our second objective will be to gather information about the prostitution and the slavery practices, Our third objective will be too shut down both illegal practices and too assassinate the leader who we have confirmed to be a missing Nin from Kirakagure," Kakashi rolled up the scroll and gave them all a serious look. "This will be a very dangerous mission and could even result in our death's, if you don't think you can handle it say so now and the ANBU team can take care of it," he swept his penetrating gaze over them each before he turned away.
Naruto instantly spoke. "I, Uzumaki Naruto, Carrier of the Bouseigan, Heir to the Uzumaki, will gladly risk my life to carry out the Hokage's order," He stepped forward. Sasuke followed with his Sharingan eyes narrowed in anger. "I, Uchiha Sasuke, will gladly risk my life to follow the order of the Hokage," Sasuke stepped forward as well.
Sakura look on in a daze as she processed all the information. 'There counting on me,' she thought to herself as Naruto look at her and nodded to her. 'Even with Kakashi-sensei here this is more then we can handle, what if we get injured or die,' suddenly she was assaulted by a memory of her mother.
"I, Haruno Sakura, will risk my life to carry out the will of the Hokage," and like that Team 7 disappeared into the Wave country.
