I do not own Naruto (i am not that smart).
"Talking" will be done with the normal font.
'Thoughts' will be done by Italic.
I have decided to do the Shippuden timeskip. I feel as if this will be better suited to how i want to tell the story and even though there are a lot of part i will have to flashback to, i still feel that this way will work better. Also the story will have a lot of thought sections from the main character (Who's name is revealed this chapter) so we can get more in depth with him.
Chapter 2- True Vision.
'Finally making a move on the tailed beasts after all this time. I've gone through so much to get to this point. Almost 3 years of training and I'm now ready to assist my comrades.'
"We are almost at the Hidden Sand"
'I awakened my Rinnegan powers thanks to Nagato and learned how to use my other abilities with Itachi.'
"Are you listening kid?"
'I couldn't have done this without Itachi, he saved me after all.'
"I don't like to be kept waiting you know."
'I'm just happy I'm helping no-'
"Kazumu!"
Hearing his name snapped the young man out of his delirium but then it made him remember the day he was named. It had been a while since the boy had been found by Kisame and Itachi, but he couldn't speak much and his muscles we barely developed. It was as if he was only just born. After a week or two he was able to walk just fine but his speech was still hindered, but his main source of speech was saying 'Itachi' over and over. All the Akatsuki members were meeting to discuss the training needed for their new member. For him to be a valuable asset to them, he needed to learn how to use his abilities to the fullest. "How do you suppose we handle this?" Pein was first to question the method of his training.
"Well you'd think that the one with the Rinnegan would teach him." A grey haired ninja with a three-pronged scythe snapped at Pein.
"Shut your mouth Hidan, that's not only thing he needs to learn you know." A tall man with bright green eyes stepped in to tell his partner off.
"But Pein could teach him the basics as well. There is no problem with that is there!" Now standing, Hidan was yelling back.
"Enough. Hidan and Kakazu be silent." Pein had heard enough. He wasn't on board with teaching everything there is to know about being a shinobi either. "Does anyone want to actually volunteer to teach the child?" At the very start of that question everyone was silent. No one seemed to be interested in taking on the responsibility. Until a hand was raised.
"i'll do it. Until he is ready to use the Rinnegan i will train him." The one who stood up was Itachi.
"I had a feeling you would want to do this." Pein looked at Itachi, who was avoiding eye contact with him.
"I have a condition." The room was completely silent. Itachi wanting something for this seemed very unlike him.
"Speak your demands Itachi." Pein was starting to regret this.
"I want to ..." He muttered the last half of his sentence under his breath.
"Want to what?" Itachi stood up and said.
"I want to name him." Itachi had a very serious look on his face.
"That's a small demand for all your effort. Are you sure that is all you want?" It seemed like Pein was a little confused that Itachi only wanted that much, but he didn't know how much it meant to Itachi.
"Yes."
"Then it is decided. Until his Rinnegan is active and can be used at will. You will train him." Pein got out of his chair and walked over to a door. "Come out here boy." The door opened to reveal the young man that was found that night. "He's all yours Itachi."
"Itachi?" The boy said. As if he was questioning everyone about what just happened. Itachi approached him and placed his hand on his head.
"Lets go." He began to lead his new student out of the room as he muttered the boys name. "Kazumu."
"I'm tired of waiting Kazumu!"
"Oh, sorry about that Sasori." He bowed to his partner. "I was just thinking about this being my first mission of sorts"
"Don't let it go to your head kid. How did you become so upbeat by hanging around Itachi anyway?" Sasori looked as though he weighed a ton. Lugging around his huge hunchbacked body.
"I guess I am who I am." Kazumu looked at himself. he had changed a bit. His build was small but muscular, he was a fair bit taller, his hair was still long, black and untamed and he was wearing the same black robe as all the other members of the Akatsuki, he was also wearing the same straw hat along with Sasori, but one thing in particular stood out with his new appearance.
(Flashback two and a half years ago)
"Ok Kazumu we are going to start today's training." Itachi was surprised with the progress of his student.
"But i'm still tired from yesterday training!" Kazumu didn't seem to be to interested in his teacher.
"Well we need to go over a few things. Come here." He beckoned Kazumu to him. He sighed.
"Fine then." Itachi was beginning to regret letting him hang around Hidan and Kisame. "What do we need to go over?"
"Can you activate your Rinnegan at will yet?" For some reason Kazumu seemed surprised at his question.
"What's a Rinnegan?" Itachi couldn't believe what he just heard.
"It's the same thing Pein has in his eyes." Itachi said this sounding disappointed.
"Oh i have that!" He seemed too surprised about this. "I thought i had the same thing as you?"
"Why would you think that you have the Sharingan? Itachi was getting a little agitated.
"Because i do!"
"I don't believe you." As he said this the young man had his hands together in the Ram hand sign, gathering chakra. "You won't be able to do it by concentrating more." Itachi looked at him like he was an idiot until.
"Sharingan!" Sure enough they boys eyes turned red and two Tomoe surrounded each pupil.
"How did you do that!" Itachi was stunned. This boy possessed the Rinnegan and Sharingan.
"I've always been able to do it I think." he seemed unsure when Itachi placed his hand on his head.
"I guess I was always the best choice to be your teacher." Kazumu looked up and smiled.
(Flashback end)
Kazumu had fully developed Sharingan eyes now. Itachi really was the perfect teacher for him. "So where are we going again Sasori?"
"Use your ears Kazumu! We have to get the One-tail from the Hidden Sand." Sasori was sick of him by this point.
"Oh yeah!" It looked like Kazumu had finally woken up. His facial expression turned very serious. "How far away are we?"
"We'll be there in an hour or so." Sasori liked the level of attention he was paying to his mission now.
"Anything important i should know about the target?"
"He is no easy target. He's the Kazekage."
"What! My first target is a Kage?" Kazumu was stunned by this. 'A Jinchuriki was hard enough let alone be one of the five Kage.'
"Problem?" Sasori glared at him.
"well this is the first time I'm fighting so i'm a little concerned."
"Get over it. I won't have my partner freezing up over something so trivial. He's a target, nothing more."
"Ok i'll cool down." Kazumu settled down and kept on walking.
"That's better. Get ready we are almost there." On the horizon you could see an enormous village. "I'm letting you take the lead on this one kid."
"Is that a good idea? Don't you think i'll need help at all?"
"Besides a 'puppet' that's been working for me on the council of the Hidden Sand who can clear the gate for us, i won't be assisting you." Sasori was very serious about this.
"Ok, i'll remember that." Kazumu was beginning to get nervous.
"Just remember your training and you'll be fine." Sasori said as they arrived at the Village Hidden in the Sand. They looked at the entrance and it was littered with dead bodies. A Sand shinobi with black hair and a goatee approached them. He had an odd expression on his face.
"Is this the 'puppet'?"
"Yes. You've done good work. Do you remember who I am?" Sasori looked looked at the man.
"How could I forget, Lord Sasori." The man then got down on one knee bowing to his master.
"This is a good way of getting in isn't it?" Kazumu commented. "Lets get going." He had already taken charge. Just like he said
"Just don't keep me waiting Kazumu."
"Gotcha." Kazumu then closed his eyes. After a few seconds he opened them again. "Deva Path!" His Rinnegan was active when he opened his eyes and he began to float. "I'll do a check of the security then attack at sundown." He said as he flew away.
'I wonder if he's ready for something like this' Sasori though to himself.
"Ok I've waited long enough, time to strike. I need to eliminate most of the guards at once so i better gear up." He floated higher and set himself up in the middle of the village. "It will be interesting using this thing for real, but there is a first for everything." Kazumu closed his eyes again and readied his hands to the Ram handsign. "Byakugan!"
End for Chapter 2.
Yes Kazumu is the name and having all three Dojutsu is the game. The reason behind all this will be explained through the course of the story, i didn't just give him random jutsu for fun. Even though that is a lot later in the story. I replaced Deidara for the first Akatsuki appearance in Shippuden because it is the main one, especially with Gaara in the picture, Which means Deidara is already paired with Tobi i guess. I am making Kazumu's main partner Itachi because of the bond they share (this is not a pairing, i mean a brotherly bond nothing more) but again if anyone has any suggestions just let me know, i actually wrote this pretty fast. The reason for the title is that the name Kazumu stands for True Vision, Kaza and Mu. Feel free to send me a message or review.
Anyway thank you for reading and see you next chapter.
