The Golden Shinobi
Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Masashi Kishimoto does.
From the lightning-split tree, I made my way over to Kakashi as nonchalantly as possible.
"What's up?" he said, looking up from his Icha Icha.
"Not much. I followed them around for a while, and I can assure you that you aren't in a lot of danger. Their teamwork is absolute crap. Something I intend to change." I replied.
"Good. Glad someone is taking responsibility. Where are they now?"
"They split up a while ago. I got Sakura in a D-Rank Genjutsu and freaked her out. Naruto I just lured into a simple rope trap. Sasuke took a little bit of work, but I got him with a Fuuton Jutsu. Eventually, they'll snap out of it and come at us again." I lied, distracting him as my Genin charges, who I had taught to conceal their presences earlier, snuck up behind him. I leapt away as they struck, catching the legendary Sharingan no Kakashi by surprise. In that instant, Kakashi pulled some impressive taijutsu moves and knocked them all out. His single visible eye widened as the Genin melted into a puddle of water, crumbled into a pile of dirt, and exploded into flames.
"Katon, Doton and Suiton Bunshin? That couldn't have been my Genin. Dang it, that means that Kogane has sided with them, probably to help them with their teamwork. A nice sentiment, but that means that I have to pull out all the stops." Casually, Kakashi reaches up and shoves his hitai-ate up, revealing his blood-red Sharingan. I walk into the clearing again, and he tenses. I snap my fingers and my famed sword, Ryuukiboken ((Dragon Scale Sword)) pops into my hand in a puff of smoke. The sword is as big as myself, gold-tinted with a faint pattern engraved on the blade that resembles scales. Kakashi draws a kunai and lunges at me faster than the eye can follow, looking to slash my side. Just as quickly, I swing Ryuukiboken to block his strike. His eyes widen, almost imperceptibly, as I follow through with a blazing fast series of blows. 'My Sharingan almost can't keep up!' he thinks as he barely blocks my attacks. As one, we leap away and stare at each other, him wondering how I can keep up with his Sharingan. I raise Ryuukiboken and a circular pattern glows on its blade near the hilt. Then in a puff of smoke, its twin popped from it, and I catch the clone. Kakashi draws a second kunai to match my dual weapons. I point the tips of my twin swords at him, and the blades break apart at the darker lines, separating into small golden scales, which fly at Kakashi at extremely high speed. His eyes widen, but then he smirks as he deflects all of the projectiles. They fly past him, then as I pulse my chakra through the hilts, reverse direction and fly back at him. He manages to avoid or block most of them, but a few pierce his legs. Then at another pulse of chakra, all of the scales fly back to the hilts and reform the blades. I walk casually away as the real Genin team take advantage of Kakashi's momentary immobilization to snag the bells from his belt loop. I chuckle at Naruto's elated shouts of victory and Kakashi's strangled groans of pain, confusion and defeat. I place my twin swords together and the seals glow, merging the twin blades into one, which I store in my skin seal with a snap of my fingers, a pulse of chakra and the customary puff of smoke. Naruto and the other see this and their eyes widen.
"How'd you do that?" Naruto asked excitedly.
"A process much too completed for Genin. But, maybe I could tutor one of you in fuuinjutsu, which is what that was." I replied. I already had Naruto lined up as the fuuinjutsu master, as the last Uzumaki. I would never be as good as my sister, the seal genius of my family, but if I teach him what I know, he might prove to be a true master of the art and surpass both of us. It seems that Naruto knows something of his heritage, because at the mention of fuuinjutsu, he perks up and his azure eyes seem to glow with excitement.
"Really? You know fuuinjutsu?THAT'S SO COOL! TEACH ME SO I CAN USE IT TO BECOME THE NEXT HOKAGE!" He screams. I wince as my abnormally sensitive ears are nearly destroyed by the sheer decibels of his excitement.
"Yeah, sure gaki. I'll teach you what I know of fuuinjutsu. On one condition." I state in a calm voice. Naruto visibly deflates at the mention of a condition.
"What's the condition?" He asks.
"That you take your position as a shinobi and the position of Hokage seriously." I intone.
