- Village of Ichinawa-
The sun was burning brightly over the smaller village, Ichinawa was one of the four villages aside from Konoha that held a hospital or clinic of any sort. Which is where we now find Ryuu (Naruto) and his 'savior' and sensei now. The room was white and smelled of cleaning supplies as Neara looked at the several young men and women who staffed the Hospital. " Now, the Hokage has sent me here to help organize and supplement some additional training to you. All of you have had some form of chakra training in order to utilize Iryō Jutsu or medical Jutsu. As well I am going to have Ryuu pass out to each of you a copy of the Herbalism training guides to help expand your knowledge of medicine." She looked to the younger boy and nodded as he hopped down and passed out the stack of green books, having one left for himself. He was happy the Neara-chan was with him the whole way here and would be with him the next couple of months, she had really helped him out on their way here.
/ Flash-back/
they had just made camp after leaving konoha, "Neara-chan... since I am suppose to be Ryuu now, do you think you could teach me Ninja stuff until we get back? Since I'm going to be koining the academy late?" He asked her as he helped collect water for their meal. The woman looked over to him as she thought about it, she didn't know anything outside of Iryo jutsu and the Hyuuga clan jutsu but maybe it would be a good idea just so he could have the basics, after all he is suppose to have been a survivor or a clan massacre on the outskirts of Iwa. "It's a good idea, I will teach you something every night we rest. Tonight, I will show you how to access your chakra, and the twelve handsigns. But no jutsus until you can perform all the hand signs in any order that I give you with out pausing or thinking about it." He just smiled and quickly came over and sat down. She ruffled his hair and sat with him. " Alright, This is going to be different than what they tell you at the academy when you start, since this is how I was trained by my clan you have to promise to never tell anyone how you learned this alright?" He just nodded," Hai Neara-neechan." She began explaining in detail the chakra system and about the tenketsu and how everything flowed through his body, and that chakra could be pushed from any of those points. Going into how chakra was an energy that was created from their physical and spiritual energies. Teaching how to feel the flow inside himself and how to tap into it. Neara watched as he seemed to absorb everything she had said like a sponge."Now, I am going to activate my eyes and watch you as you try and connect with your chakra. I'll tell you when you have done it." She pushed her chakra into her eyes, and watched his pathways seeing that the two sets she had seen earlier had merged, leaving the blue and red chakra to swirl calmly through the boy.
Ryuu took a deep breath, and felt for the energy slowly as he was told. He felt the tingle like last time when he tried to show his seal, this must be it. It was calm and gentle nothing like he was told the first time would be. Since he didn't have control it should have been stronger and forceful."Good Ryu, what does your chakra feel like to you?" He sat there for a moment,"Calm like a pond, but it feels like it's huge." She smiled, even though she wondered how it was so calm but then she remembered the seal on him that forced him to use chakra. It if the Hokage was right was a control seal to teach control to academy students in the Uzamaki clan. But having it on for five years seemed to have given him near perfect control and only increased his reserves beyond anything. "Good, that's much better than we could hope for. It just means that you will learn and be able to perform jutsu much quicker though you always need to make sure to use exactly the right amount of chakra for everything. Now if you feel along your chakra you will find places that feel slightly larger. Those are your tenketsu. I want you to focus on pushing chakra out of each one. One at a time when you find them. Sending Chakra to different parts of your body. IF you mess up or miss one you have to start all over again." She was going to be hard on him, but it was the Hyuuga method of chakra control and training.
-Days later three days from Ichinawa-
"Neara-sensei, How come my eyes tingle when ever I put chakra in them?" Ryuu asked. It had been bothering him since he started learning to mould the chakra to his body. She stopped walking and looked at him. "Keep your eyes open and push chakra into them slowly until you feel the tingle stop or I tell you alright?" 'This sounds like a Doujutsu, but none of the samples had them or any blood lines, we tested them all.' She watched as the sea blue eyes darkened and became solid black with a single blue swirl in them. Covering her mouth as she gasped,"Do.. do you see anything Na.. Ryuu?" Almost forgetting his new name in her surprise. "Yea.. I can see really clearly and I can see your Chakra this is soo cool... " Turning on her eyes, she noticed that his chakra pathways seemed clouded and distorted." Now stop the chakra to your eyes slowly." She watched as the flow stopped and his tenketsu reappeared. ' I'll have to test him when we get to the village and send the results back to the Hokage.' " Alright, now I don't want you to use your eyes like that until I can teach you more since it seems you share a trait with the Hyuuga. I will teach you the Jukken, which needs you to use your eyes, but you will ahve to find another style of Taijutsu to incorporate with it. So we don't get into trouble."
/End flash-back/
The several weeks here, and the training they did outside of the hospital had progressed evenly. He had picked up his control to perfection, hand seals were flawless (for his age) and really anything he seemed to read or study long enough became permanent knowledge. She was truly thankful to Kami that the boy was so compassionate and peaceful. Even the few jutsu that she had taught him, all of which were medical had come with out a hitch after the second or third try. It was the tests she ran once they had gotten here that were astounding. His I.Q. was nearly 200, between the Kyuubi's healing factor and his new Doujutsu that they called the Kagegan because if his his pathways when it was active, he would be a highly desired young man for any of the clans when they returned/arrived for the first time in Konoha. "Ryuu once you're finished reading I want you to work on your katta's and tree walking with 5 senbon." He just nodded, as he flipped page to page soaking in the knowledge the book offered. It was so much fun, learning. No one had ever let him learn. He wasn't allowed in school because everyone had hated him, But now he worked two hours a day writing, two hours doing push up, sit ups and several other exercises. Then two hours on chakra control, two hours on taijutsu and then he either studied books or played with the other kids.
The days turned into weeks and the weeks to months, before long the six months that Ryuu and Neara had spent in the village had come to an end and they were traveling back to Konoha. The young six year old could be seen wearing a nearly identical outfit to Neara. The Dark blue ANBU style pants, with closed toe shoes. A sleeveless blue mesh armor shirt over a long sleeve black shirt and a black jacket with several pockets with the the Tri-blue swirls on the back. Along with a bag with several books and scrolls in it. These were from the Hokage, as he sent them a few weeks before they left. They were 'falsified' records of the Namikaze clan, including the Doujutsu. Along with some 'Clan jutsu' and taijutsu scrolls. It was all Ryuu 'could save' as he fled Iwa with his mother who died from injuries. The last six months he had read all he could on Iwa and their history so that he could pull of his ruse. But the most interesting thing was the Shinobi Guide that he had recieved, listing all the 'rules' of being a shinobi. The most interesting one to him was the rule of deception. Neara and the Hokage were the only ones who knew the truth and would stay that way. To anyone else he was just a little above average in everything that he was taught. They were also told about the Massacre of the Uchiha, and that perhaps with Ryuu having a 'similar' history could perhaps befriend and help the boy Sausuke once they arrived.
-The gates of Konoha-
"Halt, please show us your papers." The two guards prompted, Near of course pulled her own and looked sadly down at Ryuu. "He doesn't have any papers, I wanted to bring him to the Hokage. To see if he could join our village as his clan was destroyed by Iwa." The two guards stiffened at the mention of another Massacre and then name Iwa. They both looked at the younger boy, " What's your name?" The boy smiled sadly as if he remembered the destruction." Namikaze Ryuu, I want to be a ninja so that I can stop people from hurting those who can't defend themselves." The guard froze at the name, before looking to Neara,"Now you can see why I brought him..." The guards looked to each other before the unsealed the gate to let them enter."Just report straight the Hokage." They all nodded to each other, but Ryuu and Neara could hear the whispers as the gate closed,"Namikaze..Iwa poor kid you wonder if that's why they hated us so much?"
Reaching the Hokage's office the both walked in once the secretary allowed it. Inside they found Sarutobi, and his two advisors. " So this is the survivor Hiruzen?" The older woman spoke. "It appears so, and the blood samples that Hyuuga-san sent back to us confirms a relation to The Namikaze of our village though a few steps removed as well as some ties to the Uzamaki and several other civilian clans of Iwa." The boy looked between all three of the elders, "Forgive me Hokage-sama, I am Namikaze Ryuu, the Heir to the Namikaze clan. Also... the only survivor. That I know of... " He sniffled a little, before he continued." I wish to restart my clan here, since I found out that your last Hokage was a Namikaze I would be honored if you would allow me to." Ryuu spoke slowly as if he had practiced his manners for this moment. The Three elders looked to each other, two of which only saw having the Name Namikaze again in the village, and if he could access the estate as a true Namikaze then they would loose control over the funds and have to return what was spent. The Hokage however smiled, " Seeing as you are a Namikaze, and we have held your clan here before I as Hokage welcome you as a returning Clan to our village. "Hokage-sama. Before my mother and I escaped,... we rescued as much of our clan records and scrolls as we could. Unfortunately none of our Doujutsu scrolls survived." The three in the know hid their smirks as they saw the double take from the two advisors. " Forgive us Namikaze-sama but did we hear you say that you posses a Doujutsu?" The salviating look in the two elders eyes was obvious. "Hai, it is the Kagegan. Did the Namikaze clan here not express this?" He asked as he activated his eyes, showing them what it looked like before deactivating. " However it's function and use is a clan secret."
After a few more questions and several glances at the documents that he would show them they eventually agreed to allow him to become a clan, and left. Leaving the Hokage, Neara, and Ryuu there alone. " Ryuu-kun, if I didn't know any better I would have believed all of it." they all laughed for a moment," Now here are the accounts, and keys to your estate as well as the scrolls left in my possession by the Late Hokage. Until you are 16 however you need someone to act as your council and perform the duties required as a clan head." Ryuu nodded and thought for a moment, " From what I have read, I would like to request either Aburame-sama or Nara-sama as they seem to be the most trustworthy and honest clans." Some where two men sneeze one simply raising a brow and the other muttering troublesome. "I see, that can be arranged. (cough) Now, as I have been informed (insert old man eye twinkle) you have been instructed in some of the shinobi arts am I correct?" Ryuu nodded slightly, " Hai according to Neara-neesan My control is perfect, my reserves are well you should figure that out easily. With the combination of two taijutsu styles my clan style is the Hachidoken. " Which caused the Hokage to raise a brown. "Explain please?" Ryuu flashed a fox like grin, " It's easy, my kagegan has the chakra seeing ability like the Byakugan but not the rest so Neara-chan taught me the Jukken, and after I got the Hummingbird style scroll I merged the two as for jutsu I know the basics and well neechan says I am a chunnin level medic " He blushed proudly as Neara mussed up his strawberry blonde locks.
"Very good Ryuu, I will enroll you at the academy, you start tomorrow at 10, also I will be offering you two long term missions that will end once you become a genin. One I would like for you too place yourself at the bottom of the class so that you may be teamed up with the Uchiha, and the second is I would like you to assist the Hospital under Neara-sans supervision." Ryuu smiled, seeing this as a chance to learn more and to spend more time with his Neechan. " Hai, not let anyone know about it either?" The hokage chuckled at this, " The first mission no, but seeing as Neara-san has taken you on as her apprentice it will be fine on the second one. Just no bragging." The boy nodded," Alright, then I guess I should go check out my house, and look at everything, plus get food, clothes, and my books and stuff for classes. Seeing as I only know Iwa knowledge. Oh could I get some books on Sealing?" He looked at the hokage with the infamous 'puppy-eyes no jutsu' The old man crumbled," Of course Ryuu-kun if you come here every Tuesday I will instruct you in sealing." Ryuu did a fist pump in the air, " Yosh...erm.. Sorry Oji-san.." As he rubbed the back of his head and flashed his grin. " That's quite alright, but I am sure you have plenty to do until tomorrow so get to it." The boy and Neara bowed and left.
