CHAPTER SEVEN: Operation: Paintball

(6 years later

Time: 5:22 am

Location: Uchiha Sasuke residence)

Static. "Come on Sand Devil, it's almost time for Sasuke to wake," Naruto said over the comm.

Static. "I'm almost done," he evilly replied. "How do things look with you Souseikigan Shadow?"

Robert activated his bloodline, which was pretty much what the Byakugan originated from because the DNA in Robert was similar to the Hyuugas but far older than the Byakugan. (A/N: if they can do diagnostics with Chakra then they can check DNA as well) Robert's Souseikigan (Genesis Eye, Genesis meaning Beginning) could do everything a Byakugan but it could not see the chakra holes. He could copy Taijutsu, and could also copy Ninjutsu like the Sharingan but it takes a lot of chakra to do so. (A/N: Thought it would be fair for Robert to have a Bloodlimit as well. Still working on how it looks but there is a clue in this chapter.)

However, the Hokage made this an s-ranked secret and ordered him not to show anybody the eye but he could tell people he was close to, which was Tyler, Naruto, Hinata, and Hiashi.

Static. "Everything looks good so far. All I'm seeing that would be a problem is the SFC (Sasuke Fan Club)," Robert told them. "How's the target White Eyes?"

Static. "The target is still asleep," Hinata replied.

Static. "Okay I'm done. You think he will notice after his shower?" Tyler asked them.

Static. "If he doesn't it would make it funnier for us. Now let's head back to the estate, mission accomplished," Naruto said from the tree he was sitting in outside of Sasuke's window.

"Roger."

"Hai Naru-kun."

"You got it Orange Fox."

(Time: 5:28 am

Date: 5/29/12 AK

Location: Hyuuga's estate main house kitchen)

"How long do you guys think it will take for him to figure out what we did to him?" Robert said at the small dining table in the Hyuuga kitchen. Other than activating his bloodline in the past 6 years since he went to the academy, he hadn't changed much except for his height. He was frikishly tall for a twelve year old because of the SPARTAN implants now and he still had the same armor, claymore and all.

Naruto had an evil grin on his face and said, "I'm guessing when he gets out of the shower to brush his hair." Out of the 4 of them Naruto had changed the most. He had grown as tall as Sasuke thanks to the ramen restriction, which he still despised. He wore the same clothing in the magna and anime but instead of orange it was now a navy blue. He said that when he finally gets his Kohoka headband he is going to change the cloth to orange. Also instead of the spiral that used to be on the back of his jacket was now the Hyuuga symbol.

"How much do you want to bet he tries to wear a hat?" Tyler asked. Tyler had grown and was alsofrikishly tall for a twelve year old because of the SPARTAN implants, he wasn't as tall as Rbert but he was still tall. His armor had stayed the same except now he had a few small dents in it.

"Maybe if we are lucky we won't see him today in class," Hinata stated in between sipping her tea. She wore the same type clothing she had been from the beginning of the Naruto series. She started wearing her coat about a year ago after the Health lesson. Several months ago another student had asked her why she wore it. Unfortunately for him she was in one of her 'phases' at the time and he ended up in a bloody pile. It took Robert and Tyler to stop her from doing any permanent damage to him. (A/N: poor sap)

"Okay, what did you four do this time?" Hanabi asked them while leaning against the sliding door frame. Hanabi was born a few months after Naruto, Tyler, Hinata, and Robert at the academy. Unforchanetly Tenshi died after giving birth because she had lost too much blood. Hinata and Naruto took it pretty hard, while Tyler and Robert's SPARTAN minds said "She will be missed." Tenshi was the closes to a mother for Naruto, and Hinata, well you get the idea. (A/N: Remember Tyler and Robert had Spartan minds so it barely affected them, they know how to coup with loses.)

Naruto smiled evilly and replied, "That's for us to know and you will find out!"

"But don't worry you will quickly find out who our target was in about," Robert paused and looked at his internal clock, "5…4…3…2…1." He then pointed in the direction of Sasuke's residence.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH!" came the yell from Sasuke which was loud enough to wake the whole village. The four in the kitchen began to laugh their heads off.

"Looks like he figured it out quickly enough," Tyler gasped in between laughs.

"Yeah, a little bit too late though," Naruto replied holding his side which hurt from the laughing.

Hiashi had also heard Sasuke yell. He was standing behind Hanabi and asked seriously, "Okay Naruto, what was the prank this time?"

Naruto's laughs slowed to a chuckle and he looked at Hiashi with a twisted grin. He told him "This wasn't my prank at all this time. It was all Robert's idea; I just made sure it ran smoothly."

Hiashi felt sorry for their target. Robert had only done two other pranks to people and the targets of those were so humiliated that they had left the village.

"Don't worry this prank isn't as bad as the last few. But it will still bring him down to size," Robert told Hiashi with a slight smile.

Hiashi raised any eyebrow and slowly asked, "Okay, so what did you do this time?"

Robert thought for a moment before answering him, "Hehe. . .You will find out when we get back from the academy."

Hiashi sighed and looked at the four Marauders as they were known to the villagers. "I hope you didn't braid Neji's hair again," he said as he also thought 'Even though it was very funny!' (A/N: Thanks for the idea Dragon Man 180)

Tyler snickered and said, "That is still not as good as the time we paintballed Sasuke two years ago." (A/N: Thanks again Dragon Man 180)

"Baka!" Bing, Bang, Boom! Tyler was instantly pummeled by Robert, Naruto, and Hinata for exposing another one of their tricks. They had only been caught in the act once, and only once, since they had started at the academy.

Hiashi's eyes grew wide and he started to laugh hard and long. "That was ….. you ….. four," he managed to choke out between laughs and gasps for air.

Naruto, Robert, and Hinata stopped pummeling poor Tyler, who was now almost a twitching heap of armor, and sighed together. They were all thinking the same thing 'BUSTED!'

Robert thought a minute before explaining, "Yeah, it was hard making the paint ball guns with the limited tech here. They could only fire three shots."

"However do you four do it?" Hiashi asked in disbelief while sitting next to the heap that was Tyler.

"Ok here how we did it," Robert started to explain as he sat down across from Hiashi.

FLASHBACK

(Time: 12:35 pm

Date: 2/4/8 AK

Location: near Ichiraku's in SFC Alley)

SFC (or Sasuke Fan Club) Alley got its name because it's a usual route Sasuke took for a walk after lunch. The route was actually a very narrow alleyway with small drainage gutters and sidewalks. On the other side of the sidewalks were six foot privacy fences. Two large trees were behind the fences but on opposite sides and ends of the alley – diagonal to each other.

The plan was to hit Sasuke with 12 red paint balls while his fan club stalked him. It took Robert two weeks to make the paint ball guns with the equipment that was available around him. He knew how to make them because before he ended up in Naruto's world Robert had a job working with and repairing paint ball guns. He made several guns for the Marauders and even though they could only fire three shots each they were deadly accurate. Two more weeks were needed to teach Naruto and Hinata how to aim and shoot the guns properly. They also needed to be taught when was the best time to fire to hit Sasuke with the most accuracy. Robert and Tyler would attack from the front because they had the most experience with shooting guns while Hinata and Naruto would fire at the same time from the rear.

Four long weeks of planning and training came down to a few minutes.

STATIC "Everybody in positions?" Robert asked from his station up in one of the trees.

STATIC "This is Sand Devil, I'm in position," came Tyler's reply from the opposite side of the alley from Robert. His bloodline was activated making him invisible and his gun was leveled at where Sasuke should be coming down the alley.

STATIC "This is White Eyes, I'm in position too," Hinata said after Tyler. She was up in the other tree at the other end of the alley from Tyler and Robert.

STATIC "I don't understand why I have to be in the storm drain," Naruto pouted unhappily from his station.

STATIC "Because Shadow and I can't fit down there with this armor on," Tyler explained to him.

STATIC "Um. . . guys, the SFC is coming," Hinata informed her fellow Marauders.

Before Tyler could blink almost every girl in the academy was in the alley lining up on both sidewalks waiting for Sasuke to make his appearance. Tyler felt his left eye twitch as he thought 'I don't know whether to be very jealous of him or feel pity for the sap.'

STATIC "Here comes the target," Hinata alerted them.

Sasuke had just got back from lunch and was on his usual way back to the academy when he heard his fan club squealing at his arrival in the alley. He sighed as he thought 'don't these girls have anything better to do?'

Halfway down the alley he got a funny feeling in the pit of his stomach. He paused and looked around – he had a feeling something was about to happen. No sooner had he thought that when he felt like he got punched in his left shoulder. He looked at his shoulder and saw blood red paint spilling down his uniform. He glanced up into the faces of the SFC. They looked horrified to see 'blood' on their precious Sasuke. Multiple pops came from different directions and Sasuke felt like he was getting hit from blunt kunais. Five strikes hit him in the back, six on the front, and one hit him on the back of his right leg causing him to stumble and land face first in the dirt.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "SASUKE-KUN!"

Multiple thuds.

After the SFC fainted Robert grabbed a flag with the Marauder's mark on it from his shuriken pouch. The Marauder's mark looked like a sharingan, but instead of three pupils circling a main pupil, the mark was shaped like an upside down peace sign spread across the iris. The upside down black "Y" replaced the main pupil and three comas were at each end of the "Y" shaped like boomerangs painted upside down. The iris was a blue green color. He took the flag and threw it toward Sasuke's head.

STATIC "Okay guys, mission complete. Now let's head back to survival training in the Forest of Death. Once we get there we can practice our rasengans," Robert said to the group.

STATIC "Roger," came the voices of the Marauders in unison.

End Flashback.

Hiashi's eyes were wide open in surprise at the end of the story. He asked them, "You four can do rasengans?"

Tyler snorted in disgust, "No. Hinata and I are still having trouble with them. Robert mastered it in four years while Naruto mastered it in only a week."

Hiashi looked at Naruto in disbelief. "You did?" he asked him.

Naruto gave Hiashi a toothy grin and raised his right hand, showed his rasengan, and said, "Hai."

Hiashi then turned toward Robert and asked, "Can I see yours Robert?"

Robert shrugged and said, "Sure, but it will be a bit weird." He raised his right hand and formed his rasengan. Hiashi saw why it was weird. Instead of the normal blue color Robert's was black with a neon blue center making it look like you were staring at a blue dwarf star in the deepest reaches of space.

Hiashi stared in awe and curiosity at the unusual rasengan. He wanted to reach out and touch the center of it but his knowledge of the technique yelled in his head, 'Are you nuts?'

Robert saw the conflict in Hiashi's face and stopped the rasengan. "See what I mean?" he asked Hiashi.

Hiashi looked closely at Robert and simply nodded.

"Hey Robert, wasn't there a new Jyuuken technique you wanted to show him?" Tyler asked Robert.

Robert snapped his fingers and stated, "Oh yeah, I forgot."

Hiashi's curiosity was peaked and he impatiently but jokingly blurted out, "Well what are we waiting for, Naruto's brain?"

"Hey! I resent that!" Naruto yelled back making Hiashi chuckle 'Naruto has the same buttons as Arashi's.'

(Time: 5:43 am

Date: 5/29/12 AK

Location: Hyuuga Jyuuhen training ground #2)

Jyuuken training ground #2 was a remake of team 7's ground except instead of three logs there were three dummies as targets. These dummies had special seals and coils running through them. They were specially made for the trainees to practice sending chakra through them to see how to practice on a 'basic' chakra system.

Hiashi, Naruto, Tyler, and Hinata were standing behind Robert who was about 10 meters away from the middle dummy. Robert made a one-handed tiger sign with his right hand and said, "Souseikigan."

Once his bloodline was activated he went into a pistol holding stance, as if his right hand was the pistol (A/N: the tiger sign is the pistol), and took aim at the dummy's head. "You may need your Byakugan to see it," Robert suggested to Hiashi.

Hiashi activated his byakugan and nodded at Robert, acknowledging he has it on.

Robert focused and built up his chakra at his two finger points and said, "Jyuuken dangan (gentle fist bullet)." He then released the built-up chakra causing it to spin in the attack. The chakra 'bullet' went straight through the dummy's main coil which supplies the brain with chakra, instantly 'killing' the target dummy.

Hiashi only glimpsed the 'bullet' for an instant before the chakra in the dummy's head went dark. He was impressed enough to ask, "Do you think I can learn this attack?"

Robert nodded at him and said, "Sure, I can teach you when we get back from the academy."

not my longest chapter but a good szde one more chapter then its on to the Genin exams, and Robert with his visor up. so until then, this is SPARTAN-251 signing off...(click).
