Hey guys, back with another chapter. Hope you enjoy! Oh, and I do not own Naruto.

Aimi quickly clothed herself, excited to see her team again. She had been practicing her medical ninjutsu all night yesterday, so she was very tired today. That didn't stop her though, as she absolutely loved being a ninja. Also, she was glad that she was in the same team as Soul. She giggled to herself, Matatabi rolling his two geat eyes. She stepped outside and took a deep breath, her long brown hair flowing in the wind. She ran over to the training field, meeting up with Soul and Naruto. Naruto waved at her, smiling. Soul, on the other hand, put his index and middle finger to his forehead and then threw it out a bit, kind of like a salute. "Hey guys!" Aimi said, waving back.

"Hey Aimi." They both said, wondering why she seemed so excited.

"I wonder what we are gonna do to test our power…" She said, tapping her chin.

"Probably simple tests, but they might be rather difficult, knowing Kakashi." Soul said.

"Yeah, I guess you're right…" Aimi replied.

Kakashi appeared three hours late again and eye smiled. "I had to help an old lady with her bags…"

"Dangit Kakashi, stop making excuses and deal with your pitiful life!" Naruto said, pointing.

"Calm down Naruto, or else I might give you a difficult mission…" Kakashi replied.

"Wait, a mission?" Soul said, perking up.

"Yeah, after I check your power I will assign you all a mission."

Soul nodded. "Let's get it started then!"

Kakashi had them line up, Aimi first. She smirked, being a master of shurikenjutsu. She threw each of her shuriken with expert precision. Kakashi nodded and guided her to a ninjutsu test area. She hesitated, being lackluster in her ninjutsu. She performed a few hand seals, summoning a slight wind. If they hadn't known any better they would have assumed that it was just a change in the wind. She then walked over to the genjutsu practice. She smiled evilly, her hair covering one eye menacingly. Her score? She got a perfect score, enough to rival the Kage's themselves. She even damaged her test subject, something almost unheard of. Kakashi's eye widened, surprised at her expertise in genjutsu. "Guess that's supposed to be expected of the legendary genjutsu specialist's, the Kurama clan…"

Aimi smiled and glanced at Soul. He was giving her a thumbs up, smiling happily. She smiled and went to the taijutsu area. She performed the basic stance and performed a few attacks. Kakashi nodded and took Naruto over in the same order. He did rather poor in everything. The only thing he had was his immense chakra. He walked over to Soul, sulkily. He patted Naruto in the back, unsure of how to deal with this situation. Soul walked up for his first examination. His shurikenjutsu was good. He walked over to the ninjutsu test and performed the hand seals. [Katon: Kuro Endan], burning down each of the testing logs with his unbelievably hot flames. Kakashi's eye widened, never expecting a child to use S-rank fire jutsu. He quickly straightened his face, though Soul did glimpse his surprised face. He went over to the genjutsu test. Needless to say, he excelled due to his Sharingan. Then came the taijutsu test. First he tested his overall physical strength. He looked down at the simple twenty pound weight in front of him. He reached for it and pulled up. The weight only lifted slightly. He laughed nervously, and tried again. I was never any good when it came to physical activities… Finally, he gave up. He fiddled with his fingers as endurance testing came around. He was hit with an attack most genin would consider only painful enough for a quick "ouch". To him it felt like he was being punched as hard as he could by someone of equal power, right in the gut. He fell to the ground, saliva spilling to the floor. The other three stared down at him. "Uh… that's not good…" Aimi said, looking at Kakashi.

"Yeah, definitely not good." He responded.

Kakashi quickly picked him up and took him to the hospital. Soul stayed there the whole day. Aimi was so annoyed with him. He made himself out to be some kind of god, but couldn't even handle a single weak punch? What kind of god was that! She shook her head and stormed into his hospital room. He lay there, sleeping peacefully. Apparently though, he drooled when he slept. Aimi, due to some instinct, felt like cleaning up his saliva. She took a napkin and cleaned up, though she scowled at him for making her have to do this. But upon looking at his peaceful face, she softened, not being able to stay mad at him. She sat on the bedside and combed her fingers through his head. A thought struck her, which she quickly threw out. "Come on Matatabi, I won't do that!" She said within her mindscape, scolding him.

Matatabi chuckled, "I didn't send that idea! You wanted to kiss him!"

She blushed, backhanding the man made of blue flames in front of her. "Ow! I may be the legendary two tails, but that hurt! I'm weaker inside you, you're much too weak." He said, rubbing his cheek comically.

She scowled and got up in the real world. Suddenly, though, a hand grabbed her wrist. "Don't leave me alone here…" Soul said, looking up at her with his crimson eyes, "I hate hospitals."

She smiled. "Alright fine. But you owe me one!"

He nodded as she sat back down and used his body as a pillow, staring into the sky. "You know, I think I could help you with your endurance." She said.

"I… would like that."

A few hours later they were out of the hospital. Soul glanced behind him. "What's wrong?" Aimi said, nervous.

"I think I sense someone coming towards us, but it might just be a passing ninja…" Soul replied.

They continued walking when an Anbu appeared in front of them. The Anbu turned around to reveal he was a member of ROOT, a secret part of the ANBU that worked under Danzo and the Hokage alone. The Anbu grabbed out the tanto in his back and slashed at them. Aimi and Soul jumped back, Aimi taking a defensive position while Soul showed no sign of intending to attack or block. Soul turned around to see even more ROOT member's. The one thing he knew was that in a 2v1 fight with ROOT members against him, he was done for. So these odds were definitely not meant for him to win. He scowled to find Aimi had run away. He sighed in relief, glad that she didn't do something stupid. Suddenly one of the member took a punch to the face, falling onto his back. He cursed and the ROOT members were aware of the invisible enemy. Soul cursed under his breath again. He knew it had to be Aimi, who else could it be? As he attempted to use the hand seals for a defensive wood style move, he was hit in the back of the head, stepping forward a bit. As he did, another attacked him as well, throwing him around like a ball. He was ultimately in intense pain, having already been injured. He turned around and saw that he could no longer see the ROOT members. He saw black shapes of people, with lines running through their body. He realized what it was the second it happened. He had awakened the Byakugan. "I… I can see everything." He said aloud, making them realize his eyes had changed to a pure white, with the veins around his eyes becoming prominent. As one of the ROOT members attacked him he blocked it. Soul smiled and went on the offensive, striking each of them at their chakra points- areas where they hold more chakra then others. He blocked and dodged all of the attacks, but was still injured from the earlier beating. After this, he would probably be out for a few days.

He quickly spotted Aimi's invisible form and escaped with her. He found a safe spot and sat down, pain racking his body. "Argh… You gotta tell Hokage about what happened… I don't think he would order this." He said, wincing.

She nodded and left to find him. Suddenly, Soul felt his eye pulse. It hurt as if the he was hit in the face. He doubled over and looked up again. His eyes were a pale blue, with flower designs emblazoned on it. He groaned, realizing he had activated the Byakugan. Or at least that's what he thought. He looked at himself using his All-Seeing Eyes (Is this possible? I can tell you girls would probably LOVE this ability then, lol. Well guys too, us little pervs, hehe…) and saw the eyes he had. "Tenseigan..." He whispered.

He smiled and deactivated his new ability. He was giddy with excitement. Then his adrenaline ended, his body racked with the pain of the beating again. He screamed a curse, surprised by the sudden pain. He lay there in pain, waiting for help. Aimi was, at that moment, at the Hokage's place explaining what happened. He nodded and personally rushed over to the specified location. He arrived there, seeing him in pain, he used medical ninjutsu to heal him. A few minutes later Soul was in slight pain, but more than bearable for him. "I hear the ROOT attacked you. By chance do you know why?" Hokage said.

"Yeah, I cast a genjutsu to look inside their head. They want my eyes because he hopes they will be a very powerful Mangekyou Sharingan, though I already know my powers. In my left eye I hold the ability Amaterasu, black flames that burn for seven days and seven nights. I haven't found someone I trust enough to implant my father's Mangekyou into mine. Would you help me with that?"

He nodded and called over a medical ninja. She nodded acknowledgment to him and performed the transplant. After doing so Soul let out a deep breath. He widened his left eye, activating his flames. The tree he was looking at burned to ashes, faster than he would expect. At that very moment, his old favorite jutsu became useless. His favorite element was always lightning, but his affinity for fire was slightly stronger, though only slightly. Now he could go ahead and use lightning. He suddenly felt like his eye had more room for chakra, but only in his left one. He hesitated before filling up his eye. "Did… my eye change in any way?" He said, turning to Hiruzen.

Hiruzen gasped, looking at Soul. Soul's eyes had turned gray, schelare and all. His pupil, though, remind black. Multiple rings surrounded it, with two tomoe in the ring closest to the pupil, two above that, and one above that, forming a triangle. "The Rinnegan…" He whispered.

Soul smiled to himself attempted to turn off the Rinnegan. Attempted being a keyword. "I can't… turn it off." He said, "My eye has no chakra in it but I feel the Rinnegan still in my eyes."

"That's unusual…" Hiruzen said, looking into his eyes, "Bah, whatever. It looks cool at least."

Soul smiled and a thought entered his mind. "Is it possible I can still get a mission?"

Hiruzen nodded reluctantly, leading him towards the Hokage Tower.

"I'll be giving out a simple C-rank mission into the Village Hidden in the Mist. Shouldn't be too much of a problem." He said, smoking his pipe.

Soul nodded and flickered away, bringing the news to his team. "Aimi, Naruto!" He said, seeing them come into view, "We got a mission!"

He quickly went over the mission then found Kakashi and explained to him as well. Soon they were on their way, heading towards the Hidden Mist. Soul and Kakashi both became aware of the two ninja following them. The bridge builder, who they were escorting said "So, girly, whaddya say we go have some fun." His cheeks red from too much alcohol.

This is why I don't drink Kakashi thought, scowling at the person they were meant to protect. "Sorry, I'm actually not by the way, but no. I'm kinda annoyed with you right now." Aimi said, attempting to keep her temper in check.

"Dirty little brat! You gotta do what I tell you, I hired you!" He responded, pointing a drunken finger at her.

She shook her head and continued to ignore him for the rest of the journey. Suddenly, Kakashi turned around and threw a barrage of kunai towards a tree. At the same time, Soul put his back against Kakashi's, saying "Alright, circle together. Someone was about to attack us."

They quickly joined together into a circle, the drunken bridge builder in the middle, having no idea what was going on. He blabbed away about home troubles or something, eventually shutting up realizing they weren't talking. Aimi spotted the enemy through a bush and warned the group. He jumped out of the bush and ripped Kakashi in half, only to find him replaced with a wooden log. (The rest took place similar to canon, Soul taking the place of Sasuke and being less of a jerk to Naruto.)

Aimi looked at the two ninja tied together and put them under a genjutsu. They suddenly got to their feet and walked sadly back to Konoha. The rest of the journey was uneventful, arriving at the village with no damage done. They took the bridge builder toward his bridge that he was creating. He left, without thanking them or anything. Needless to say, they scowled at him. He was oblivious, shouting at the people working on the bridge. Some of their eyes lingered on him before getting to work. Aimi's group sighed in relief before realizing that Zabuza, the Demon of the Mist himself, was standing before them. He stood before them, his blade barely touching Soul's throat. "Look who's back…" Zabuza said, looking at Kakashi. "Let's get this party started, shall we?"

Soul instantly flickered away, Zabuza smirking. He complimented Soul's speed, before Soul suddenly found himself with a blade through his heart. "Wh...what?" He said, before falling into the river.

Zabuza was speechless. He definitely hadn't done that. Haku, though, did. He turned towards the rest of the group, the bridge becoming a battlefield.

Hai :D. So uh... That's that. Sorry for that ending though :P. No I'm not. Bai!
