It was a warm morning in Tsumegakure. Shops were opening and birds were singing.
At the same time, we can see two young genin practising their ninja skills. Those two ninjas were
Hyohito and Tetsuga. In the past year, their teamwork have greatly improved, right now Hyohito was teaching some of his techniques to Tetsuga.
"Phantom Fist" Hyohito yelled and he punched tree, destroying it. Pieces of tree flied over ten meter radius and Hyohito stopped. This tree was destroyed completetly.
"Wow, that was awesome, that tree is now bunch of toothpicks!" Tetsuga cheered
"Now you try the same" Hyohito said
Tetsuga concentrated his chakra into his right fist and when he was ready he punched tree. Pieces of tree flied all over the place and suddenly Tetsuga stopped his move. Tree was not destroyed completetly but there was a big hole in it, about a size of football.
"Not bad from beginner" Hyohito said as he was watching
"Just watch, I'll be better than you in no time" Tetsuga said pointing Hyohito
"It's true that you've gotten better, but so do I" Hyohito said smirking
"Then I just train even more..." Tetsuga said but Hyohito stopped his speech
"Better not, if you train anymore than that you're gonna die due to exhaustion"
"I maked a promise when I first met you. I will not die before I'm better than you" Tetsuga said
"Well, I don't think you're gonna live 5000 years" Hyohito said laughing
"Damn you, stop playing with me!"Tetsuga yelled
Soon Maneki arrived at training-ground. She looked very nervous and exhausted due to running.
"Maneki, why are you so busy. Did something bad happened?"Hyohito asked conserned
"Sensei wanna meet us all at the Covernment House immediately" Maneki said while she panted
"Then what are we waiting for, let's go guys!" Hyohito said and trio started to run towards the Covernment House. While they were running Hyohito asked from Maneki
"Hey Maneki-chan, did sensei told why he wanna meet us"
"He told something about important mission" Maneki said
"Important mission eh, can day start any better?" Hyohito said smiling
About 5 minutes later
Team 4 were at the Covernment House waiting orders.
"I'm glad that you're all here. I called you, because I got a important letter from Hokage-sama.
He want us to come to Konoha and meet him personally. " Shinku said while his students nodded.
" If you don't have anything to ask, then lets go. Meet me at the gates in 30 minutes" Shinku ordered
About 10 minutes later
Hyohito was at his room searching for his stuff he will take to his journey
"I can't believe I'm going to meet Minato-san again. It have been over two years since I last saw him. Maybe he will teach me some cool techniques" Hyohito thought
Hyohito searched all his stuff he might need. Kunais, shurikens, medical-pills etc.
Then Hyohito went to talk to his parents. Chita was cooking while Toramaru was reading a book.
"Mom, dad I'm going to ..."
"...go to Konoha to meet Minato. I already know, Shinku told me " Toramaru said without raising his head from the book.
"Damn, this journey was supposed to be a surprise, thanks a lot, uncle" Hyohito thought
"Remember to say hi to Minato from me" Toramaru said
"Yeah I will" Hyohito said as he leaved from mansion.
"It seems Hyohito don't know yet about Kushina's pregnancy" Chita said
"Well, he will know soon" Toramaru said back
About 25 minutes later
Shinku, Hyohito and Maneki were waiting at the Tsumegakure's gates. Tetsuga haven't appeared yet. Hyohito was walking back and forth while Shinku and Maneki were standing calmly
"God damn it, what is keeping so long. Tetsuga should have arrived already" Hyohito murmured
"Be calm Hyohito, he will be there soon" Shinku said
"Be calm?! How can I be calm when that idiot is late! This mission might be extremely important!"
Hyohito yelled
"Don't worry, Konoha is not far away. We have time."Shinku said trying to calm him down
5 more minutes later
Tetsuga finally arrived at the gates while Hyohito was looking at him with strict look.
"You're late, you know" Hyohito said
"I'm sorry, I had a trouble finding my stuff"Tetsuga explained
"You're lying!" Hyohito yelled and squeezed his fist
"Calm down. The most important thing is that he arrived and we can start our journey. Besides it's
better to arrive late than not arriving at all" Shinku said
"Don't try to defend Tetsuga."Hyohito yelled at Shinku
"Let's just start our mission, we will talk about this when we're back home" Shinku said
"Fine" Hyohito said and group started their journey
Team 4 was running towards Konoha when Hyohito shouted
"I can't wait to see Minato-san again Shinku-ojisan. I wonder how he will react when he will see how much I have progressed"
"Well actually, I have told some of it already so there isn't much to surprise him"Shinku said
"Damn it you, ojisan, you weren't supposed to tell about it" Hyohito shouted
"I'm sorry, it just slipped from my mouth" Shinku tried to calm Hyohito
"Hyohito, you know Fourth Hokage?" Tetsuga and Maneki asked simultaneously
"Of course. My father is his old friend. I have known Minato-san ever since I was a little child"
Hyohito said.
"Just remember to act casually, he's a Hokage now" Shinku told to Hyohito
"Yeah,yeah,I know" Hyohito said as Team 4 continued their journey towards Konoha
About 8 hours later
Team 4 had just arrived to Konoha's gates. There they meet guards, who stopped them.
"What are your business in Konoha" one of the guards asked
"We have come here to talk to Hokage-sama" Shinku told to the guards
"Okay, follow me" guard said and they started to walk towards Hokage Tower.
While walking through Konoha's streets Tetsuga noticed that peoples looked at Shinku and Hyohito with fear in their faces.
"I know that Shinku-sensei and Hyohito are scary-looking, but I don't think that they're that scary"
Tetsuga thought
When Team 4 arrived at Hokage Tower, doorguards escorted them to Hokages room. Doorguard knocked the door and voice said "Come in". Guard opened door and there was large room with lot of windows.
There was a table where some blond-haired man sit. That man is known as Namikaze Minato or as Konoha calls him, The Fourth Hokage. There was also woman with red, long hair. Judging from the size of her stomach it looked like she was pregnant. That woman was Minato's wife, Kushina Uzumaki.
Shinku slowly entered into room and said "It's nice to meet both of you, Minato-san and Kushina-chan"
"It's nice to meet you too Shinku-sama. Have Hyohito-kun arrived aswell" Minato asked
"Yes he's right behind me"Shinku said and Hyohito appeared and runned towards Minato yelling
"Minato-san" and hugged him. Minato hugged Hyohito back and said "It's nice to meet after long time Hyohito-kun".
Hyohito looked at Kushina "Kushina-chan, you've eated too much ramen, you've become fat"
After hearing this, everybody (except Hyohito and Shinku) started to laugh. At the same time Shinku thought "You're stupider than I thought, Hyohito"
"Kushina haven't gained fat, Hyohito-kun, she's pregnant" Minato explained laughing
"Pregnant?! Why haven't you told me about that?!" Hyohito asked
"I thought it would be better if we keep it as surprise" Minato said
"About that baby, do you know its gender already" Shinku asked
"Yes, we're gonna have a baby boy" Kushina answered
"Do you have thinking any name for him"Shinku asked again
"Yes, we decided to name him as Naruto" Kushina answered
"Naruto? Why didn't they choose some cooler name?Like, Menma, for example." Shinku thought
"Kushina-chan you really have eaten too much ramen, you name your son after ramen ingredient"
Hyohito said
"Actually, we didn't name him, Jiraya-sama named him" Minato said
"What, that Perverted Hermit gave him a name?" Hyohito asked
"Yes. We decided to name him after the protagonist of Jiraya-sama's book"Minato answered
"Book? Have Perverted Hermit wrote a book" Hyohito asked
"Yes actually. Its name is ''The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi''. You should read it sometime"
Minato said as he started to search his tablebox and there he found some book which he gave to Hyohito
"Well,thanks" Hyohito said
"Let's go down to business. I called you to here because I have a mission to you." Minato said
"What kind of mission?"Shinku asked
"I want you to go to search Forest of Death. Some of our ninja saw foreign ninjas near that place" Minato said
"Huh, that's a pretty simple mission. Why didn't you hired your own ninjas to do the job? Shinku asked
"Most of our ninjas are already at mission. And I don't think it's gonna be easy mission. My ninjas saw dozen of foreign ninjas." Minato explained
"Dozen? That's a lot of ninjas. Guess that mission is not gonna be so easy as I thought."Shinku said
"You're right. This mission will be B-rank. I want you to search them and take them out."Minato said
"You heard what Hokage said kids, we meet at the gates." Shinku said as they all disappeared from room.
At the gates
Team 4 had arrived at the gates where Shinku was waiting for them.
"Do you have everything you need?" Shinku asked
"Yes sensei" genins said simultaneously
"Then we will go. Everyone, lets go to Forest of Death" Shinku said
About hour later
Team 4 was walking at the road when suddenly Maneki asked "Sensei, what is that Forest of Death"
"Forest of death is a place where Konoha usually keep second phrase of their Chunin Exams, that place is just like its name. There is many traps and dangerous animals. That's why they called it Forest of Death" Shinku explained
At the same time there was someone hiding in the tree. This person had a brown short hair, black eyes and headband which had a Iwagakure symbol. He also had official Iwagakure-ninja's uniform.
"So they send Nekoshiro Shinku and his team after us. This should be interesting." this person thought
While Team 4 was walking, Shinku observed the area. Then he told his team to stop
"I think I sensed unknown chakra" Shinku thought. Then they heard a noise. "Demon Nails"
Suddenly thousands of senbons started to fly towards Team 4 but they managed to dodge them all.
"Reveal yourself. I know you are here somewhere!"Shinku ordered
Enemy obeyed the order and revealed himself. Shinku started to speak
"Well, Iwagakure-ninja. I quess you're here to take revenge because of Third Ninja World War"
"You're right. We're gonna kill Fourth Hokage. Because of him, we losed that war" Iwagakure-ninja spoke
"I'm sorry but we can't allow that" Shinku said
"Rock Bullets" Iwagakure-nin shouted as he launched several rockspears towards Shinku. Shinku jumped aside and dodged them. Tetsuga used wire strings to tie opponent. Enemy tried to struggle but then Maneki used Poison Mist to paralyse him. After opponent was defenceless Hyohito used Phantom Fist to knock him out. When opponent was unconscious Shinku said "Good job everybody, now we can get some information out of him."
They tied Iwagakure-nin into tree and Shinku used Mind Reading to get some information. After several minutes he stopped the technique.
"Okay I got enough information out of him. Shadow Clone Technique!" Shinku shouted as he created a copy of himself. The clone grabbed enemy-ninja into his shoulder and started to carrie him towards Konoha.
"My clone will carrie him to Konoha and they will interrogate him. In the mean time we will found some resting place. It will be dark soon." Shinku said
Team 4 found some resting place and they set a camp in this place. When camp was ready Hyohito started to read a book Minato gave him. Hyohito immersed into the book.
Meanwhile in Hyohitos imagination
''Hyohito'' was hiding behind a tree while he heard his opponent shouting
"Why don't you just give up? I'm tired of playing hide and seek"
''Hyohito'' searched his tools. He found two smokebombs. ''Hyohito'' throwed them at the enemy.
Bombs exploded and they covered enemys sight.
"Smokebomb?" Enemy thought. He saw ''Hyohito'' getting near him. There was few clashes and then there was a scream. As smoke started to fade there was ''Hyohito'' on his knees and enemy pointed his knife at Hyohito.
"Give up" Enemy said to ''Hyohito''
"Can I say just one thing? ''Hyohito'' asked
"I don't want to hear it! Now die!" Enemy shouted and pushed ''Hyohito'' against tree
"You should give up..." ''Hyohito'' said as he disappeared. Enemy was shocked as ''Hyohito'' appeared behind him.
"Trying to make me give up." ''Hyohito'' said and hitted enemy into back of his head. Enemy falled into ground.
"Shadow Clone?"Enemy thought
As enemy was laying in the ground he started to speak "Ugh...! E-even if you kill me, another assassin will attack the village... Hehehe... There will be no peace... as long as we live in this accursed world of ninjas."
''Hyohito'' looked at him and started to speak "Then... I will break the curse. If there is such a thing as peace, I will find it. I won't give up."
"Enemy looked at him and asked "Wh-who are you...?"
"My name is... Naruto" ''Hyohito'' said
End of imagination
"So that's why Minato-san decided to name his son as Naruto. I really hope he will grown up to be just like the maincharacter of this book" Hyohito thought smiling
Meanwhile Shinku was sitting in stone when Tetsuga came to same place
"Sensei, can I talk to you" he asked
"Yes, sit down and talk" Shinku answered
" I saw at Konoha that many peoples stared at you and Hyohito fear in their face. Why is that" Tetsuga asked
"You seem not to know about my clans secret powers." Shinku said
"Secret powers...?" Tetsuga asked
"Yes. Nekoshiro clan have a kekkei genkai. That kekkei genkai is called 'Kitora'. That technique allow us to transform into monster-cat. When we are at monstercat-mode we can use powers we can't normally do. However, because of that power, Nekoshiro clan is feared.
"So that's explain why people fear you" Tetsuga said
"Yes. Hyohito is one of the children who have experienced Third Ninja World War. During the battle, he awakened his kekkei genkai. After this incident, he had known as hero of Tsumegakure" Shinku said
"That war must have been traumatising to him" Tetsuga said sad look in his face
"Well, that's true. Many of our clan members died during war. That war is the reason why he want to revive Nekoshiro clan and clean its name" Shinku said
"What does he mean by cleaning its name" Tetsuga asked
"Basically, Hyohito want that other peoples would start to see Nekoshiro clan as equal, not as owner
of terrifying power. We have gained the trust of Tsumegakure, but that's it so far. But, I think Hyohito will eventually gain all peoples trust, I just have that kind of feeling" Shinku said
"One last thing. Why does he hate Uchiha clan?" Tetsuga asked
"Hate towards Uchiha clan have inherited in Nekoshiro Clan. Do you know about ''Era of the Warring States'' Shinku asked
"You mean those past days, when there were no ninja-villages and clans fighted against eachother" Tetsuga answered
"Yes. During that era, Nekoshiro clan fighted against Uchiha clan in several occassions. That is why we don't like Uchiha clan" Shinku explained
"There is one thing I have always hated. I always feel that Hyohito is better than me. He was Rookie Number 1 and he had a lot of admirers while I was Dead-last and no one admired me." Tetsuga said sighing
"You don't need to feel that way. I know that sometimes Hyohito can be a little cocky, but deep in his heart, he sees you as an equal"
"Really, have he said it to you" Tetsuga asked
"Yes. When he's home he always talk about your guts and how you never give up no matter what. I can say that Hyohito admire you as rolemodel" Shinku said
Tetsuga looked at Hyohito who was still reading his book. Tetsuga thought in his mind "Hyohito, what I'm to you?"
About hour later
All members of the Team 4 were sleeping. There were two Iwagakure-ninjas walking towards teams camp. One of those was bald and he was big guy while other had short black hair and he was smaller.
"Do you really think this is a good idea?" smaller one asked
"Yes. If we capture them and take them to leader, he will reward us" big one answered
"Would it be better if we just kill them?" the smaller one asked
"No. If they're alive we can interrogate them. Doing that way, we can get some very good information about Konoha defence and weak points" the big one answered
"I guess you're right" the small one said as they started to get towards Hyohito. When they tried to tie him up, Hyohito suddenly rised and kicked them both in the face. They falled into ground and they saw that other members rised aswell.
"Damn, you weren't sleeping. You were feigning" the big one said
"That's right. And now that you're here, we can start fighting." Hyohito said and then he took some scroll, bit his thumb, did some handseals and slammed his hand into scroll shouting "Summoning Technique" There was a puff of smoke and when smoke faded away there was big white tiger in front of Hyohito.
"You called me, Hyohito-san" creature asked
"That's right Byakko-sama. I want you to show those Iwagakure-nins who is a boss" Hyohito said
"Well, I haven't tasted a human flesh for a long time" Byakko said as he licked his lips
Iwagakure-ninjas watched terrified as Byakko attacked. He jumped on top of them and scratched them.
"Oh my god, make it stop! We will do anything! they screamed
"Byakko, stop" Hyohito ordered and Byakko obeyed and stopped scratching them
Those Iwa-nins clothes were ripped onto pieces and they got several scars in their chest. Hyohito walked near them.
"You said you will do anything. I heard you talking about your leader. If you two escort us to your leader, we will not kill you." Hyohito said
"Oh thank you, thank you, we will show you the way" two nins said and falled on their knees and nearly kissed Hyohitos sandals
"Got to say Hyohito that was a very good plan" Shinku said
Hyohito cancelled his Summoning Technique and Byakko returned to his own realm.
"Okay show us the way" Hyohito ordered
"Okay, follow us" Iwa-nins said
About half hour later
Team 4 plus 2 Iwagakure-nin were walking inside of Forest of Death. They avoided many traps while they walked. Soon Iwagakure-nins tolded them to stop.
"Our hide-out is inside that tree" One of the Iwa-nins said and pointed a huge tree.
" How many members do you have" Shinku asked
" Including us there is twenty members" smaller one said
"Twenty? That's more than I excepted. Maybe we need to call some help" Shinku said as he used Summoning Technique to summon an eagle. He wrote a letter and gived it to eagle.
"Fly to Konoha and give this to Hokage-sama" Shinku said to eagle. Eagle started to fly towards Konoha a letter tied into its leg.
"Okay, now we just need to wait reinforcements" Shinku said
"Why wouldn't you wait them with us" said a voice and everybody looked up and saw another Iwagakure-ninja. That one was tall man and he had green hair, brown eyes and he had official Iwagakure ninja-uniform.
"It seems you two escorted those here, am I right?" he asked from his fellow ninjas
"We are sorry, Leader-sama, but they maked us to show the way to our hide-out" they said and get onto their knees begging for mercy
"I can't forgive you two for betraying me, I have to punish you." Leader said
"Okay boys, lets take them to our hide-out" Leader said as many other Iwagakure-nins came for hiding and took Team 4 to their hide out.
At the same time in Konoha
Meanwhile, Minato was fighting against every kages worst enemy, paperwork. Everytime Minato got one paper done, there came two new one
"Argh, I hate paperwork" Minato shouted as he was frustrated
"But honey, you have to do it, you're Hokage after all" Kushina said
"Unfortunately you're right" Minato said as he hit his head against table
Soon, Shinkus eagle arrived at Hokage Tower. It chirped and knocked window. Minato opened window and let eagle inside. Minato noticed letter in its leg and thought
"This is Shinkus eagle. Do they have a problem in their mission"
Minato started to read a letter. In the letter was written
"Hokage-sama. We figured out that there's even more enemys than we thought. There is twenty enemy ninja and they're all from Iwagakure. They're here to revenge the loss of war. Send us reinforcements and fast."
"Damn, Iwagakure, I should have know." Minato leaved his office and started to run all over the village. Soon he found two young boys. Another of boys was silver-haired and he had a mask which covered his mouth and he had a Konohas headband which covered his left eye. That boy was Hatake Kakashi. Another boy had black shiny hair, thick eyebrows and green jumpsuit. That boy was Might Guy.
"Kakashi, Guy, I wanna talk to you!" Minato shouted and boys noticed him
"Minato-sensei?" Kakashi thought
"This is an emergency! We need to go to Forest of Death and take out all Iwagakure-nins! We better go fast, there is our allies in trouble!" Minato said
"Yosh, we better go fast, so we can save our youthful allies from trouble!" Guy shouted as he was excited from his new mission
"Good let's go" Minato said and they started to run.
"Hold on guys, we will come to save you" Minato thought as he runned
