Chapter 13
AN: Kishimoto owns all except my characters-Kiminari, and Kimiko, and later characters. Also I'm probably not going to follow any of the story line except a few small things. I may take the characters outside their natural personalities, but that's because it's my story, and it'll add to it. Another thing: since I'm not following the story line of the series- All main (good) characters will start out the same age as they should be, but even though the Akatsuki will be around, the war will not happen until later; if it does at all. Again this is because I'm making up my own story line; it gets kinda boring when nothing has changed and, you readers would be able to guess what was going to happen all the time. So, enjoy, and please comment, review, rate, whatever you wanna do. :D
"Hm. Maybe you should teach me how to cook a little better, since I'm training you." He said jokingly.
"Deal." I said taking his hand and giving it a shake.
Kakashi's P.O.V.
About an hour after Kimiko had gone to bed, I heard a soft knock on the door. I opened it to see and already tired looking Tsunade. "Good afternoon, Lady Hokage-sama." I greeted with a smile.
"Good afternoon, Kakashi." She replied.
"You aren't hungry, are you? We still have some steamed vegetables, and Kimiko made the best Inarizushi I've ever had." I said as I led her to the kitchen to sit down to talk.
"Hm, a couple pieces of that does sound pretty good right now." She answered with a small smile. "Has she gone to bed."
"Yes, about two hours ago." I sat the Inarizushi on the table.
Her eyes widened a little after she took a bite. "Wow, this is good. I'll have to see if she'll give me her secret." A small chuckle. "So, let me see the paper work." She said holding out a hand.
I retrieved them off the counter and handed them to her. "Like I said, we can't be sure which Kekei genkei she has unless we can compare the blood works to someone we have access to. We can start with the Hyuuga's, though it's highly unlikely that she'd have the Byakugan. I think the only real possibility is Rinnegan, though I doubt she'll ever learn to use it."
"Well, I want to try to figure it out first, then we can decide whether to tell her or not. That all depends on what I get from the results, and her attitude; we don't want another kid with issues." I let out a small bitter laugh; she'd been referring to Sasuke, no doubt. "I'd also like to find out more about her family if I can." She finished.
After a small pause, "So, how is she doing so far; and why on earth did you have her blind folded earlier?"
I chuckled, "It was only a small exercise so that she could learn to sense things around her. Believe it or not, she even made the Inarizushi blind folded too."
"Hm, well then she's a quick learner. What else?"
"Well, she's got remarkable aim, -good enough to hit a target in the dark- very high stamina, she figures out ways to get around her weaknesses and to improve them and even use them to her advantage. She's also quite stubborn, which proves she's at least part Uzumaki -her mother's name was Kiminari, by the way. She's also very quick to change her battle tactics, not to mention, she's a vicious fighter; she even managed to get me down. All in all, as long as she doesn't get too arrogant, power thirsty, or go crazy, we've got a wonderful upcoming kunoichi." I finished with a smile. I only hoped Tsunade would let her advance as she could.
"Hm, well I will come to watch her train tomorrow, and we'll see if she's ready to attend the academy, or if she can go ahead and take the genin exam. Tonight, however, I'd like to get home and get started trying to decipher her charts. Tell her when she wakes up that I quite enjoyed the Inarizushi." She said with a smile as she stood to leave.
Oh, boy. I hope she'll be ok tomorrow. I don't want her to overdo it just because someone important is around.
Tsunade's P.O.V.
When I got home I pulled out my computer and started to pull up the charts of several Hyuugas who had married outside of the clan. It was short work since there were only nine in total-and only five who had children or were old enough to be a grandparent. Once I'd found the children of those, I narrowed my search to the ones who had inherited the Byakugan. Then I narrowed it again to those who had children. There was only one, the only problem, was the child was a boy.
"Great." I said aloud to myself. "If she's not got the Byakugan, then she probable does have the Rinnegan. Let's just hope that doesn't become a problem." There hadn't been a Rinnegan wielder that we'd known of since Nagato.
My next search was of all the Uzumaki charts we still had; there weren't many of those either. Kakashi had said that her mother's name was Kiminari, so I searched to see if we had anything on her. When I finally found someone by that name, I was relieved to see that she had married a simple villager. But that meant that she'd inherited her kekei genkeis from her mother's side. It didn't make any sense, though, because other than the natural characteristics of the Uzumaki, there was nothing out of the ordinary about Kiminari.
I went to bed that night stumped. There were only two explanations as to why Kimiko was different: one-that she inherited a recessive gene from her mother's side, or two-that her father was not the man her mother had put on her birth certificate. I could believe it either way. There were several cases where a child would not inherit a kekei genkei from their parent, but then that child's child or children would. I could also believe her mother changing her father's name. This happened a lot in villages that were attacked; although the mother could not lie about her name, she could still protect her child by changing the father's name, so that if he was a sought after shinobi, their child would not be in as much danger of becoming a hostage.
I decided that I'd wait to see how she trained and see what physical and mental traits, as well as talents, she had inherited.
AN: Don't forget about the drawing entries! If you would like, I'm starting a competition. Just send me a link in the reviews, or on private messaging of a drawing, sketch, or painting of your favorite characters from my stories. You may include characters that are from the actual universe, but all entries must include at least one of the stories OCs. I'll start the first drawing on March 1, but if you're just reading, don't worry. I plan to continue this for a while
