A detour and monsters in the dark
This fanfic is totally based on my day dreams and crazy ideas. Mostly everything will be OC, except this fanfic is based off the Naruto world and starts years after Naruto because Hokage.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto in any way or form. All of the new jutsu is either insane thoughts from my head or borrowed from other fics which I will give credit for if I remember who's they are. If something in this fic belongs to you tell me and I'll give you the credit. Also, if I think something up and it just so happens you thought of it first. I will give you the credit if you just tell me so. All jutsu will be in English so get over it.
Btw I'm writing this for fun, since I have some down time during college. Either read it or get the hell off the page it's just a fun story so if you don't like it. Don't read it. I'll accept any ideas for the story and help if you notice I did something wrong, just don't be a dick about it. Reviews are welcome and most importantly I AM NOT an English major or very good at the subject. So don't constantly nag me about grammar and such, it will be fixed later so just enjoy.
Also this story takes place after Naruto is the Hokage and has been for some time. This story is a fantasy story for fun to see what could happen to the kids of all of those you love most! New abilities, jutsu, plot, villians, love stories and new secrets! Like I mentioned before if you want to see something happen just message it to me, remember just don't be a dick about it.
Story will be rated "M" for violence, language, concepts, and possibly lemons like I don't know fifty chapters down the road if I feel up to it.
Thanks for reading!
Bold- jutsu
Italics - Mental monologue
Also all jutsu are in English it saves time for when I make jutsu up and Im lazy ok

Locking his door he left his apartment. Another night of good sleep and another good night he thought to himself as he put his hand into his pants and walked down his hallway to the stairs. It was quiet just as he liked it. He had his headband tied to his forehead and his combat gear on. All of his kunai , explosive notes, and scrolls were accounted for as he made his way down the stairs and out of the building.
As he walked out of the building he noticed it was cloudy today it was a first since he'd been here. He calmly walked down the street towards the main gate. Walking was such a nice change of pace instead of the regular roof hoping which was nice but he wasn't in any hurry right now. He got up early to start his day and head to the field to meet his time. As he walked he thought about the chunin exam and what it was like in this country. Usually in his homeland you were born into the battle field and your experience and skill gave you the rank through combat. Lazily walking he through the main streets of the village and soon set his eyes upon the village gates. As he walked he heard someone calling his name. Glancing over his shoulder he saw his purple haired teammate running to catch up to him.
"Hey Zacc you excited for today?" he asked you could hear the joy in his voice he must be a true shinobi at heart.
Continuing walking with Haruto by his friend "I guess so it's now or never right?" To which Haruto simply nodded to him showing his agreement. It was amazing Haruto didn't come off as dumb as the other shinobi. Together they passed the guards station at the entrance to the gates and walked outside onto the dirt road. As they walked a few meters before talking a road to their right which led to a large area of training fields.
Haruto only smiled at his teammate "So you and Kamin huh?" he asked as he chuckled "Who would have guessed I mean you were such an ass when you first arrived."
Zacc sighed "I guess so and it happens besides purple still isn't a real hair color" he said knowing what would happen.
Haruto scowled "Your hair is silver you have no room to take!" only for Zacc to smile. "Whats so funny teme?" clearly confused at what was happening since he seemed out of character.
"You are so predictable dobe" he said as they entered the clearing of training field 37. In the center of the field near the three posts stood the blonde and the raven who were talking about something. Walking closer to them the two seemed to be talking about something important if they were being so quiet. Once they got within hearing distance the two immediately stopped talking and looked to the pair entering the field. Kamin smiled sweetly at her boyfriend.
"Good morning Haruto-san, Zacc-san" she said brightly as if a rainbows and sunshine were all she ever thought about.
"Now Haruto I need your permission slip that was delievered to your house for your parents to sign, I already have Kamin's." This left Zacc in a confused manner. "Permission slip? But I never got one.." he thought to himself before his sensei spoke again. "Don't worry Zacc the Hokage signed yours since he is your charge technically till your of age." Zacc loosened up at the mention of that since he was worried he wouldn't be able to go. "Now I know its sudden but we will be leaving today for the exams since they are so far away and we will have to make a detour on our way there."
"A detour sensei?" asked Haruto who had Kamin giving their sensei a look of agreement that she too wanted to know.
He simply smiled "We will be passing through the place I had my first real mission and someone will be taking us to our destination from there."
Zacc raised an eyebrow at this. "If we were going to have someone take us somewhere we would have to be a place like the ocean…" instantly the dots connected in his head. "Sensei are we going to Kiri?"
This made Sasuke smile even bigger than before. He was proud his genin was able to figure it out only by that one clue he said to them. "Why yes we are." At this Kamin started to jump up and down since she has never been to Kiri. They knew that before she started to scream about going to a new place. As the raven covered his face with his hand clearly annoyed at the girls antics "You are dismissed you have three hours to meet at the main gate before we leave for the exams" he said before poofing out of existence. With that Kamin took a hold on Zacc's hand and Haruto stood next to Zacc as they walked back into town. As they walked Kamin was humming happily to herself as she would get to go to another new place. She playfully squeezed his hand every few steps.
"SO how did you know we were going to Kiri? I thought this was your first time to this part of the world." Haruto asked his silver haired teammate as they walked back into town.
Zacc smiled slightly "You see before I came here I studied the map of the elemental nations so I know where I would be going and the other places I may have to go on missions. I wanted a general idea of what was where I guess." He shrugged to his friend.
"O.." Haruto mumbled to himself as he turned forward again. They walked a little bit before another question hit him. "Wait what gave it away we were going to Kiri? Sensei only said we were going to meet someone to take us to our destination." The snake boy asked his teammate.
Zacc turned to Haruto and blinked as if he wasn't expecting the question. "O that, well you see when he said that the only reason we would need someone to take us somewhere is if it was in a remote place in the mountains or somewhere by sea." He said before poking Kamin in the ribs to make sure she wasn't a hundred feet deep in another day dream of hers. She simply responded with a jump and a giggled as she slapped his hand. Haruto only nodded for his explanation as they reentered the village gates. Quickly flashing their IDs to the guards they progressed further into the village.
They stopped in the middle of the street. All three faced each other "Well Im already set I have all of my gear I would need on my and my backpack and all of the changes of clothes and money are sealed in a scrolls." Zacc said as he patted a small pocket on his right leg.
"Well I need to go home and pack my things and grab a few more items if we're going to the chunin exams." Said Kamin as see turned away from the group but not before pecking Zacc on the cheek. "See you guys soon!" she said as she walked away from them.
Haruto rubbed his neck with his left hand "Well I need to go buy some more weapons and look into an ace for the exams." He said when he turned away from Zacc expecting him to go off on his own or go meet up with the blonde.
Zacc caught up to him and walked next to him. "You know I got time and we never hangout" he said to his teammate. "Besides I think I have an idea for an ace for us" he said with a devilish smirk. With that the two walked down the streets into the business district of town. Haruto thought it was odd how Zacc was acting; only a week ago he was the village's biggest ass. Then he concluded it must be because of the blonde. He only sighed which didn't go unnoticed by Zacc he just didn't decide to say anything. Together they walked past the numerous shops until something caught Zacc's eyes. Stopping in the middle of the street to look at a large shinobi shop with a gaint sign saying 'Scroll Shop' Zacc decided to walk into the store before Haruto realized where he was he saw Zacc walk into store. Any second later and he would of lost him. Briskly walking to catch up he spotted Zacc down an aisle.
Zacc was reading all the labels on the cubby holes the scrolls were in the aisles. Without turning to Haruto "Hey whats your affinity anyways how much chakra do you have?" he asked as he started to fingers through the scrolls.
He only raised an eyebrow he figured Zacc came in here for himself since he had the Omniton. "Well I have a earth affinity with a secondary fire affinity but I haven't even tried to train the fire one so if I tried one I could seriously injure myself." As he finished speaking Zacc started to think of a jutsu that would greatly help his teammate.
As they were standing in the middle of an aisle an elderly man came up to the boys. "You two this is a shop for shinobi" he said in a demanding voice. He was an older man in his forties if he had to guess he didn't know Zacc wasn't the greatest with this thing since of his family's life expectancy. The man was dressed in a nice pair of khaki pants and a nice white button up shirt to appear as business casual.
Haruto only stood there dumbfounded could the man not see the headbands. Before Zacc spoke was a laugh in his voice "Sir we are shinobi, were genin looking for an ace for our chunin exams that were going to" he said looking to man in the eyes showing he meant business.
The man raised his eyebrow "That may be so but this shop is for chunin or raised ranked ninjas. You younger ninja are supposed to learn jutsu from other ninjas or your sensei's." he said quickly annoyed that the two were still trying to push the issue.
Zacc simply took out his ninja ID card and handed it to the man. He looked at it clearly confused at what he was supposed to be looking at. "Ya its your ID I already understand you're a genin." Zacc smiled at the old man before signaling with his left hand to flip the card over to the back. He quickly read the back and say the kekki genkki line was filled in. "The Omniton? What kind of kekki genkki is this?" the man thought until he saw the clearance level next to it. The level was high enough to buy jonin level items. Looking up at the boy as he handed back his ID clearly confused by what was happening to him.
"You see sir I possess the Omniton kekki genkki, it allows me to master almost all ninjutsu with great skill and eventually becoming a grand master in one of the elements or combination of them." He said smugly to the man. The man was wide eyed now he remembered why it seemed familiar. "Now if you would kindly show us where the earth scrolls are keep."
The man simply complied with the request and walked them to a different place of the building where a massive amount of scrolls were in cubby holes on the wall. All of them listed with an earth jutsu. Leaving the two alone they started to go through the scrolls. Haruto was looking through a few and even pulled two out of the wall he clearly wanted to learn. Zacc called over to Haruto "You forgot to tell me how much chakra you have it will help us decide" he said as he looked through a few more.
Blinking stupidly as he thought "Umm…I guess somewhere high chunin level my mother always made me do chakra exercises through the academy" he shrugged as he looked through a few more.
As Zacc thumbed through scrolls only to pull two out "These will do very nicely…" he spoke as he turned to go pay with Haruto quickly following his lead. As they set down the scrolls on the counter the man quickly realized which ones they were since hes the one who wrote them. He only sighed he had to sell them to the boys since of the clearance the silver haired one hand. As they paid for the scrolls Zacc quickly hid the two he picked from his teammate.
"Hey why can't I see what ones those are?" Haruto demanded clearly a little mad that his teammate was being so secretive. To which Zacc simply smiled.
"Well one is a higher level jutsu you can't learn so it's my ace and the other is a technique I want you to learn as fast as you can." He said as they walked back to the training fields. "We need to practice those as quickly as possible before we live or we won't be able to learn them in time." They quickly ran down the street and out the gates to the training fields.

Kamin was approaching her house as she ran up to the door. She didn't want to be late and made sure she packed everything she could possibly need. As she walked into front door she heard someone was in the kitchen. As she walked through the living room and into the kitchen she saw her parents sitting at the bar top eating lunch.
"Hi honey are you here to grab your stuff?" her mother asked her as she gave her husband a dirty look as he was eating as if he was a toddler again.
Kamin simply smiled at her dad's antics. "Yes why?" she asking her mother.
Sakura got up and picked a bag up from the other side of the kitchen island and handed it to her "Your father and I already took care of it, we figured you wouldn't have time so we did it for you." All this time her father didn't stop stuffing his face.
Her mother gave a dirty look to the Hokage "anyways your clothes, weapons, money, and scrolls are all in the bag so be careful with it dear" at this her father stood up.
Hugging his daughter in one quick motion "Good luck sweetheart Ill be there to watch you in the finals" he said before kissing his wife and flashing out of the house. Leaving only Sakura to sigh as she did the same leaving Kamin alone before she left also. Grabbing a quick snack she left to hurry to the gates or she would be late.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The raven stood alone in the middle of the street as he waited for his genin to arrive so they could leave on their journey to Kiri. As he waited there he soon saw Kamin who was running down the street.
"Sensei where are the others?" she asked him as she stood next to him.
As Sasuke continued to look down the street looking for them "I have no idea Kamin" Kamin decided to look down the street for the two in case sensei missed them by accident. This was until a pair of arms wrapped themselves around the blonde. She panicked until Zacc laughed at her.
"Ha got you!" he teased her and Sasuke simply smiled. Her cheeks puffed up again as she realized her sensei was a part of this prank since he must of sensed them. She just glared at him until he started to shrink backwards. "Im sorry Kamin-chan…" he trailed off knowing she was mad at him.
Sasuke looked over the two boys "Haruto why are you so dirty?" he asked noticing he had dirt and some mud on his clothes only for the two boys to grin widely at him.
"Nothing sensei" they said in unison which caused him to raise his brow. Sighing as he turned around and started to walk out the gates with the three genin to follow behind him.
Squad four made its trek through the forests of Konohagakure they made their way through the tree tops as to travel at a faster pace than walking on the ground. Sure they could run on the ground but that was way more tiring than tree hopping.

"Sensei are we almost there?" Kamin asked as she was clearly as impatient as Haruto except he wasn't annoying on long trips it seems. She continued to pout and throw a fuss until she realized no one was paying attention to her.
Sasuke sighed "Yes Kamin we are almost there it will be a few more minutes." Sasuke did a lot of sighing these days as he got annoyed easily by those who were more annoying than others. Naruto placed Kamin on his team not only because he was a great shinobi and his eternal rival but as one last way to piss him off.
At their sensei's signal they hopped off the tree branches and landed on the ground. They must have been close to where they were going because they were now walking on a dirt road in the direction of their destination. Soon after same silence their path opened up to a fantastic view of the sea. The ocean breeze was gentle as they rolled passed them. Being out of the protection of the tree line the wind was able to reach them now. The sea salt was able to be smelt in the air and the earth around them was different to Zacc since it was eroded by the ocean. Walking further towards the ocean they soon saw a magnificent bridge. It was made out of a dark grey stone material that looked like it was made by a master architect. Smiling as wide as he could the raven saw the most important thing about this bridge.
On the ends of the bridge at the entrance there was a statue of a large dog similar to a dog he talked to earlier in the week. This dog was holding a fan, however this was no ordinary fan if you looked close enough it was the very fan of the Uchiha crest in his hands. Covered by the shade created by a master piece sculpture of a cherry blossom tree their sensei could only smile.
"Sensei why are these statues here?" Haruto asked clearly confused by what the symbolization meant here. Zacc was even confused but he knew it had to stand for something. However their blonde comrade had an idea of what they were from here parents stories but she decided to stay quiet on the matter.
Sasuke looked to the Uzuamaki girl who he figured would have blurted out what they were by now unless she forgot. She is the dobe's child after all so he wouldn't put it passed her. "Well this is where team seven which was made of myself, Naruto Uzuamaki, and Sakura Haruno along with our sensei Kakaski Hatake had our first real mission. It started out as an escort to the Land of Wave to deliver master bridge builder Tarzuna to the safety of his home. However along the way we ran into some trouble that started out with two chunin level ninja who was dubbed the Demon Brothers of Kirigakure. Soon after defeating them Zabuza Momochi along with his son Haku attacked us." Sasuke paused trying to remember all the details of the fight for his own pleasure in this matter before continuing. "After defeating them we took down the crime boss who took control of Wave and sent it into chaos in the first place. " The raven waved for them to follow him as he started to walk onto the bridge and head across the bridge to island of Wave country.
"You see after defeating those two ninja I unlocked my sharingan and Naruto discovered something himself. We also learned firsthand the hard ship of killing another person and learning to care about the enemy in certain circumstances. This was our first real mission and the one that built our foundation for everything we became today oddly enough. Those statues resemble those of team seven." He finished as they made their way across the massive bridge. Passing over the construct they realized they were the only ones on it or in sight as they approached the town in the distance.
The sun was starting to fall over the horizon and into the vast sea of blue. It was almost time for the sun to set since they had been traveling for a few hours. Konoha wasn't that far from Wave as you would think. An eerie feeling came over Zacc as the town became closer and closer to them. "But sensei there was only three statues by the start of the bridge but there was four members to team seven including Kakaski" questioned Kamin as she clearly forgot her parents own story.
Sasuke only closed his eyes for a moment while he walked "Kamin your standing on it" he said coolly as they walked. At this the girl went wide eyed she couldn't believe her father had a bridge and a national land mark named after him. Zacc could only sigh at his girlfriend's antics and his sensei clearly agreed since they did it at the same time. He was starting to worry that he was developing a habit of being annoyed by the simplest things like him. That made him worry slightly as to which he didn't want to find Kamin annoying since they were together.
As Kamin started to cool down they finished their trek across the bridge and into the first part of town. There were people a hustle in the streets of the town. Nicely paved streets were everywhere allowing faster and cleaner travel then the last time he was here. Houses were built more nicely and none were in bad shape in the slightest. It seemed the bridge really was a great thing for this country. Going from a country of poverty to one of great wealth in only a short time was amazing even he knew this what he was seeing wasn't anything new to the country only to him.
Walking through the town square he attempted to remember where his old client Tarzuna lived. He decided to walk to the northwest side of town in hopes that he remembered correctly. It had been sometime since he had been here and its changed so much. Walking around some more only to stop and curse to himself as he chose another direction. His genin certainly noticed this.
"We are so lost.." Zacc deadpanned as he gave his sensei a dumb look clearly disappointed a S ranked shinobi and jonin sensei couldn't even find one person's house.
Haruto was doing the same as was Kamin but at least she was. "Sensei you have no freaking idea where were going to do you…" This is when Sasuke was about to turn and scold his genin for being so immature and being rude to their sensei will a young man with a strong build but yet wasn't bulky stood in front of him. He had a dirty brown hair color as a large smile on his face.
"You look lost" he said with a laugh to which only Sasuke was about to reach his breaking point for this nonsense. The genin realized how quickly he was getting annoyed and slowly started to inch away. He was about to slam his fist into this man's face until "You know Uchiha if you couldn't find our house you could of just asked someone in town." He said with another smile.
Sasuke's eyes went wide "Inari?" was all he could say in amazement. Inari had grown up into a respectable young man different from the little cry baby he met when he had his mission to Wave all those years ago.
"In the flesh! Now let's go you guys grandpa is getting really impatient" he said as he motioned for the others to follow him. They walked in silence as the two men chatted about things recent in both of their lives. They didn't not to get involved since he was so close to exploded just a few minutes ago. Until they arrived in front of a nice wooden style house it was built very nicely as you could tell from the grain texture layout and how it was put together or at least Zacc could. As they entered the house they smelt a heavenly smell as they walked into the living room of this man's house.
"Mother I brought them!" he yelled to his mother who they guessed was the one making the smell so she must have been in the kitchen. Just as they thought an older woman with lovely autumn brown hair stepped out into the room. She was almost as tall as Sasuke she was tall for a girl. Wearing herself like an honorable woman she was in her fifties now it seemed. At the found of the noise an old man stepped into the room, he had long grey hair unlike Zacc's silver hair. Looking brittle in his old age he still looked as if he had a strong back.
"Sasuke good to see you may boy" he greeted the raven as he shook their hand. He rose an eyebrow to his students "You're a jonin sensei now? Seemed like only a few days ago you were a snot nosed brat escorting me" he said as he remembered how short Sasuke really was when he was a kid.
Sasuke only laughed "Its good to see you to Tarzuna" as he interrupted the old man from his thoughts. "These are my students Haruto Unimo" he said while gesturing to the purple haired snake boy. "This is Kamin Uzuamaki" he said to which Tarzuna about fell on his face.
"Naruto had a kid?" he asked him about in shock. To which Sasuke only smiled, "Well go figure I thought he was gay since he was so set on talking to that Haku boy" Tarzuna laughed. This only made Kamin angry as she grit her teeth until Zacc grabbed her hand to comfort her even though he was about to die of laughter it was the funniest he's certainly heard in a while. Thankfully she was so set on them she didn't know it.
"And this is Zacc Grimm hes a western shinobi" he said finally introducing him. Tarzuna, Tsunami, and Inari only looked at him funny. They clearly never met a westerner before but he ignored their glares.
Inari's mother was walking back into the kitchen but not before she directed them to sit down and get ready for dinner. Moments later as they sat around the table she brought out a few dishes of food. Among them was a plate of meat cutlets, a bowl of rice, some fish, and a few other things Zacc didn't recognize.
They said a small prayer and quickly got into eating. As they ate Sasuke and Tarzuna were telling stories and catching up. Inari was talking to Haruto and Kamin was stuffing her face as usual. Zacc could only look dumbly at her "Great my girlfriend has the table manners of a little child.." he thought to himself with a sigh until there was a shriek outside.
Blooding curdling as it pierced into the night and rung out to reach their eyes. In an instant all four shinobi were on their feet and looking around. Inari ran to the windows and doors to lock them in a hurry.
"Shit we forgot!" he said in a panic as he returned to the group, turned out the lights and sat quickly. Sasuke was listening to the sounds outside there was something shuffling in the streets of the town and clearly someone was hurt.
"Please sit down or else it will find us" Tarzuna pleaded. This is where Sasuke looked at him as if he was crazy.
"Tarzuna, Inari what is going on" he demanded in a tone that told everyone he wasn't asking more than once. He hasn't heard noises like this since his days in Oto it reminded him of the mutation experiments that Orochimaru and Kabuto would have locked up in cells for research.
The old man looked at him with weary eyes as the genin watched "Sasuke recently at nights there's been a creature that appears and kills innocent people….we cant stop it we have tried and even shinobi have come and been killed to…" Sasuke narrowed his eyes at this something was wrong here. He knew monsters didn't exist then only monsters that did were those in human skin or those trying to escape it.
Zacc was sending out his chakra into the ground and air trying to sense movement of anything outside until something crossed into his boundaries he set. "Sensei seven o'clock approaching" he said waiting for what his sensei would say. Tarzuna was starting to shake he knew what the man was going to do.
"Team four follow me we are to search and destroy all possible threats" he said as he walked to the door and unlocked it.
"Hai sensei" they said in unison as he opened the door and ran out with the three following them.
Inari stood there in fear of them "My god what is going to happen here tonight…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Outside there was no one wandering the streets and there was no movement seen. Sasuke stood out further in the street while the genin stood back to back watching and waiting for a possible ambush. Quickly yet surely something caught Sasuke eye and he threw a kunai at it striking it in the head. The think shrieked something terrible before he lost sight of it chasing it into the night.
"Squad 4 recon and strike" their sensei commanded as he ran into the night after the thing that made the noise.
Following their orders with Zacc leading the group with Haruto trailing on his left and Kamin on his right they ran down the street running towards the loudest shrieking they heard. Upon entering the town square where no one was in sight and no movement was able to be detected but Zacc felt something moving and he didn't like it.
"Haruto light it up" he commanded and with him obeying the order dug into his pouch. Selecting out a kunai that had a note attached to it he tossed it high into the air above the center of the square. One it hit its high point the note went off but it wasn't an explosive tag it was a flare. The light lit up their surroundings. Kamin looked over to her right over by a few market stalls and saw something terrible.
Sasuke was in an alley way and found a clue to what was happening. On the ground there was a black ooze gel like substance on the ground to where he thought this thing could have been bleeding and it puzzled him. As he crouched down to look more closing at the substance something rushed him. Shrieking in a trouble manner it collided with him at a speed that would have trampled him if he didn't position himself correctly to roll onto his back for him to kip onto his feet again. As his feet connected with the things chest a blade of sorts slashed his cheek making it drip crimson. Pushing up with his legs as he was rolling past his shoulders the creature was pushed into the air where he launched a fire jutsu at it. Fire Style: Great Fire Ball as he burned the creature it screamed in pain until it melted away into a black substance.
"What is this.." he said as he bent down to and touched the substance. Bringing it to his nose and smelling it his eyes went wide. "It can't be.." he thought as he ran in search of his genin in panic.
There in front of the genin stood a terrifying creature. It resembled a bug like creature except it was humanoid with long blade like razors on the outside of both of its arms. It had what look like a thick shell surrounding its body with pale eyes. Only being shades of black and white it seemed odd for such a creature to exist. When it saw them it screamed in its terrible high pitch screech. Kamin tenses in fear of such a thing "I thought m-mo-monster didn't exist…" she thought as her knees were starting to buckle from pure fear of what stood in front of them.
It charged Kamin as it failed its razor arms towards her. She was frozen in fear she couldn't move and it was about to end her. Zacc threw his hands together into the ram seal Crystal Release: Crimson Fruit he shouted as a protective crystal shell encased Kamin protecting her. The monster collided with the structure but instead of it bouncing off or trying to cut through it the creature slammed into it at full pace. It simply turned into black ooze as it covered the shell and the ground as if it was a bug that ran into a window. Kamin simply blinked her eyes as she couldn't believe she was alive.
"What the hell was that thing?" asked Haruto with a slight quiver in his voice. As he looked around and the structure protecting Kamin broke apart letting her out she ran over besides Zacc.
"I have no idea and they aren't Oni so they aren't monsters.." he trailed as more scrambled in form the alley ways and rooftops of the building around them. They were being surrounded by these things.
Haruto took a hand full of shuriken from his pouch and threw thing in multiple directions at the enemy. Shadow Technique: Multiple Skuriken Jutsu he said as each weapon turned in ten more. Each one hitting a target making them turn back into black ooze.
"What the hell are these things?" Zacc yelled out hoping someone would give him a clue to what they were until their sensei landed I the middle of the field.
Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet he called as water from the air and the nearby well In the square joined together to form a colossal dragon that ravaged the black beasts. They all melted when the dragon hit them instantly as if it couldn't stand water. "They're ink constructs there is a shinobi nearby find them!" Sasuke yelled at them.
"Find cover!" Zacc commanded his teammates as he usually did as he was going to perform a large scale jutsu. He hopped on top of a stall in the square to jump on the roof. After landing on the roof he started to seal. Pushing off into the air to climax above the space where to ink constructs were. Flipping so his legs were facing the sky and his face was towards the ground he took a deep breathe. Water Style: Water Bullet he said as he shot a jet stream of pressurized water straight towards the ground. Connecting with the ground the water rebounded off the ground making small waves that were washing over the constructs clearing the entire area from them. Kamin looked over to where something caught her eye and quickly gave chase.
"Kamin no!" Haruto yelled as he ran after here. Zacc flipped to land on his legs as he connected to the ground but to only for his legs to give out for him to land on his butt.
Breathing deeply between breathes "I hate water jutsu" he said as he threw up on the ground next to him. "If I didn't cheat to do that jutsu it wouldn't have been possible to do..." he thought as he attempted to get to his feet only to realize everyone else was gone. "Fine ill just sit here then" he said as he leaned up against the well in the middle of the square.
Kamin followed something to the edge of the village to an open grass area next to the cliffs of the village. There stood a man with his head facing down so you couldn't see his face. Wearing black spandex pants and a long sleeved shirt that was cut above his belly button, highlighted with red trim around the key points of the outfit. She could see his skin was deathly pale he looked like a specter from the children stories used to scare young kids.
"I see you found me" it spoke its voice deep but yet smooth and flowing as if it was the shinigami himself standing before her. She figured this person had to be male considering its voice even though its body was slender and small even though he was taller than her. Turning his head sideways as he looked up to her "I will rip the muscles from your bones!" he screamed as he started to laugh madly. Looking behind his back he pulled out a white cylindrical object and threw it opening revealing a blank scroll. Making an ink brush appear from behind his as well he must have had a pouch on his belt. Quickly and masterly drawing more creatures to aid him he put his right hand into the half tiger.
The creatures jumped from the scroll in the dozens growing as they landed. They shrieked something terrible as they rushed her. She was frozen again as they rushed her until she heard Earth Style: Great Earth Wall as a protective wall of earth rose to her aid. Haruto landed besides her "Are you ok Kamin?" as he squeezed her arm to make sure she was able to respond to him. She simply nodded.
"I cant be afraid anymore, What would father say….what would Zacc say?" she thought to herself completely ignoring the fact Haruto used an earth jutsu. Haruto looked into her eyes, he could see a spark of passion created in an instant. His eyes went wide at this. Before he could speak she ran out from behind the wall and started to seal Wind Style: Wind Bullet as she exhaled a highly pressurized jet stream from her mouth clearing a path to the man. Pulling out two kunai with a backwards grip she slashed through the remains of the crowd that attempted to stop her.
The man started to draw again until she threw one of her kunai that sailed through the air towards him. It ripped through the scroll like a hot knife through butter destroying his drawings. He looked up at her with a horrible twisted facial expression showing his madness even more. Reaching up past his shoulders he drew a short half sword. "Die" he said with a twisted smile as he rushed her. They met each other's blades with a series of sparks. With a quick jab he punched her in the gut stopping her defense. Quickly grabbing her hair he tossed her across the field into the frenzy of remaining creatures was Haruto was trying to slash down. The man was slowly walking towards her again with his blade hanging low it was clipping the grass. As he was in front of her he raised his blade.
"Now you die!" he screamed her slashed down on her. Nothing. The blade passed through nothing as the man opened his eyes in shock. "Where did she go?!" he screamed manically. Then he sensed it. Someone's chakra was flaring powerfully. Turning around he saw her briefly before a fist connected with his face. As his body was falling back from the hit he was struck again and again in multiple angles and positions. No one could have been this fast as Sasuke watched his student from the rooftops.
"Is that what I think it is?" he raised an eyebrow as he smiled at his student. His students were so full of promise.
The man was left battered and bruised standing in the middle of their mini battle field. Looking up at her with a twisted face "What are you?!" it demanded obviously clueless to why it was losing.
A dark look of battle ready confidence washed over her "I am Kamin Uzuamaki!" she yelled as she appeared suddenly in fornt of the man and stabbed him in the chest with a kunai. He fell to his knees look up at her and she could of sworn the madness had left his eyes as he neared death. Falling backwards the corpse moved no longer as Sasuke appeared in the field.
"Good job team lets go collect Zacc" as they walked away from the bluffs of the island and reentered town. They found Zacc laying up against the fountain. He simply smiled at them as Kamin helped him up he gave her a tight hug.
"lets go find Tarzuna" he said as they walked together back to the house which their host was staying. Upon reentering the home they all gave them a worried glance even though they were all ok if not a little exhausted.
"Tarzuna your little problem is solved" the raven said as the others got comfortable again. They could only blink at them.
"What? How did you do that? Those were monsters" he said in a shaken voice obviously surprised they survived those monsters.
He could only sigh as he looked over to Haruto who was laying on the ground obviously falling asleep and the two love birds leaning on each other in the corner holding hands. "You see after the last Great War Konoha's ROOT unit was disabled due to the fact I killed Danzou. He had many shinobi who were stolen as infants or taken from orphanages to be raised as perfect emotionless killing tools. What this was, was a shinobi who was from the abandoned ROOT unit those shinobi has been wandering the nations doing what this one has been doing. They were users of ink jutsu which created those monsters that have been attacking the village. He was obviously mad when he confronted him due to his training under ROOT." The raven explained to the family.
They only looked dumbfounded figuring it was pointless to argue with the man. "Alright then let's get some rest we will have a busy day for us later in the day" he said as he got up. Tsunami gathered pillows and blankets for the children and their teacher as they slept in the guest room. Sasuke had his mat closest to the door with Haruto next to him, then Zacc and Kamin. He didn't think anything of it if they slept close to yet other besides he trusted Kamin and Zacc to behave.

The sun was brightly shining as it soaked through the closed windows in the room. Zacc sat up and stretched as he noticed he was the last one up like usual. Collecting his things and leaving to look for everyone else he found them in the dining room. Everyone was sitting around the table eating except for Tarzuna and Tsunami who Inari said was in the market buying groceries.
"Good morning Zacc-kun" the blonde smiled brightly as Zacc sat down next to her. Inari handed him a bowl. Picking up his chopsticks and eating his breakfast no one really talked. Everyone had a late night and they were enjoying themselves before leaving to their destination.
"So Haruto where did you learn that jutsu you used last night?" their sensei asked them. Haruto smiled sheepishly at him and Zacc could only smile mischievously. "Could of guessed" he laughed as he sat down his bowl and excused himself from the room to gather his things. Zacc could only jab his friend in the ribs which made him jump. Haruto just glared at him.
"Didn't use all of the jutsus did you?" he asked with a small chuckle. To which Haruto gave him a dumbfounded look.
"Of course not I only used earth wall to protect Kamin until she decided to murder the guy" he said coolly as he finished his tea. Zacc looked over questioning to his girlfriend who looked ashamed. Inari just watched the scene unfold in front of him.
"Kamin is this true?" he asked wondering if it was her first time killing. Knowing how hard it could be on some shinobi he himself was a natural and didn't actually feel any guilt till later in life for it.
She only looked slightly down she clearly wasn't proud of it "It wasn't my first time killing but it still scares me every time I have to do it." She spoke softly knowing how fragile things were Zacc didn't want to make them worse. Inari was tapped in the foot by Haruto who stood up to leave the room and he followed his queue. With them being alone Zacc moved closer to her and kiss her cheek.
"Kamin you do realize how amazing of a person you are right? The first day I moved here you remember how I acted and look how I act now" he spoke softly to her trying to convince her she was ok.
She could only smile at him as you hit him in the chest "Your such a baka" with this Zacc stood up and reached down for her hand. As she gave it he helped her up and the two went to gather their things and head out to meet Tarzuna.
"Ready to go?" Inari asked as they exited the house together where Haruto was waiting for them with the man. The two simply nodded as they followed him to the docks in the port.
"Over here!" Tarzuna said waving his hands to gain their attention. He was standing on a large vessel that looked like a fishing boat. It was made of a dark cedar wood so it would float better. Stained wood showing it was newer then most boats but yet showed signs of use. Their sensei stood on the deck of the ship and smirked at them. The three genin boarded the ship with Inari who would be staying aboard to help work the ship to insure smooth sailing. As they boarded Tarzuna raised the board that connected them to the dock allowing them to board and he untied the ship from its dock.
The gentle waves of the ocean rocked the boat smoothly as if the sea was beckoning them to Kiri. It was their destiny to go this far and it meant for them to reach Kiri. As they stood on board the vessel Kamin reach down to grab ahold of Zacc's hand. They looked over the horizon together that soon they would be competing for their lives and each other's. Today however they could enjoy each other's company.
