The five sisters were born healthy and didn't show to have the boil release their father had, however unlike their brother none showed to have the dreaded Healing Curse.
Shinta showed to have far more talent than expected. Emumi watched him throw kunai with exact profision. "That impressive kid! Now while it's moving." She hit the target to make it swing just for Shinta to instantly hit it in the middle. "Wow, not even I could do that at six!" Shinta smirked, yet he was simply bored without a challenge, he looked at Haruna training kenjutsu.
Okei dueled with him fighting with a kunai. He made multiple hand signs and pressed his hand into the ground "Earth release: Man eating sand!" The earth under Shinta turned into quicksand, he countered and breathed out a steam cloud , Okei answered this by throwing kunai and once the cloud lifted Shinta had disappeared, having melted the sand holding him and used the substitution jutsu. "What the-" Shinta fell out of a tree and held a kunai next to his older cousin.
Kushina blew a whistle. "It's clear, Shinta won." She declared Shinta letting go of Okei. "Got lucky with that steam cloud." Shinta glared, which made Okei jump back. While all the Uzumaki thought "Scary." His sisters however all dogpiled on him. Ruka spoke first. "You're so cool!" Rimi placed a demand on her brother "Horsey ride!" Rika "No, he said he would show me how to climb a tree!" Rimi "Nope, he's playing with a dolly with me." Rina crossed her arms. "No, he's going to show me how to swim!" The girls argued, pulling on their brother from limb from limb Risa pulled on his head.
Kushina sighed. "They're never going to agree are they?" He asked Chitose and he shrugged as he held the two year old naruto. "It's going to be good to have one kid in the academy right?" Chitose asked to which Kushina nodded. "Maybe the girls will be less competitive?" Chitose shrugged as Naruto Joined in the Shinta pulling match, he got his shirt.

Shinta sat in the same class as Itachi and then they were sent to spar. Itachi started punching while the Shinta blocked studying the style Itachi used and there saw the weakness of it attempting a slide kick to ruin the Uchiha only for Itachi to do a backflip recommence his attack only to get punched in the face with Shinta no letting Itachi get uperhands again til Shinta got kicked in the face. Shinta fell to the ground and the Academy teacher pointed to. "Win goes to Itachi" Shinta was frustrated, he never lost, when he came home he ran past his sisters and went to the oldest man of the house. "Ojii-San, teach me how to use the eye of Kagura!" He spoke with determination.
Chitose however was meditating and didn't know he wasn't. "Ojii-San!" Shinta sat next to him and decided to sit next to him until he ended his meditation.

Chitose sat in front of the sealed beast pouring a cup of sake. "Come on, I gave you a bottle, just drink it until you're either drunk or in my case blind!" He laughed as the beast growled at the old fool. "I will rip your body and skin you Uzumaki!" Chitose shrugged and drank his tenth cup. "Why aren't I getting drunk?" He asked the nine tails growled. "You're in your own mind, idiot!" Chitose drank again. "Yes, however this is the only place where I can taste Uzumaki umi sake." The nine tails took the bottle and tried it out. "It's salty, yet not overpowering the sake." The nine tails relented taking another gulp of it before placing back. "Feeling better now?" It simply roared at him in fury. "Let's talk later." He opened his eyes to find something on his face.
He sensed Rika and Risa painting his face. "Run!" Ruka screamed and fled, only leaving Shinta and Chitose. "Alright what did they do to my face?" Shinta didn't laugh even though we looked like a messed up kabuki actor. "Teach me the eye of Kagura!" Chitose sighed. "Ok, first it's Mind's Eye of the Kagura and second learning it is annoying and I don't get why you would want it. Just steal a byakugan and relax." He grabbed Chitose by shirt. "Because I lost a spar, and I never lose spars!" Chitose rolled his eyes and Shinta continued. "He was an uchiha and I need something to equal the sharingan when we get older so I can best him." Chitose snorted. "Jealousy much?" The boy started shaking him. "Teach it to me!" Chitose sighed.
Shinta took the 'sigh' as rejection and started shaking him violently. "Ok, I will teach it just stop that, you little jerk!" Shinta let go of the only elder in the Uzumaki clan. "Ok what do you know about Mind's Eye of the Kagura?"
Shinta became serious. "It's a uzumaki technique that surpasses all Dojutsu in visual powers!" Chitose sighed even if the boy was correct.
"Yes, that's true, however there's two ways of gaining it. Be born with it or learn it." Shinta nodded excitedly. "To learn the jutsu you simply have to concentrate chakra into your pineal gland and do it for five years straight." Shinta looked shocked. "The pineal gland is in your brain, not in your pants." The shock disappeared and just looked annoyed. "Yea it's not a kekkei genkai it's a Kakkei tota. Which just means it's more complex than your average jutsu." Shinta sighed in a depressed state. "Why couldn't I be born with it?"
Chitose glared and yelled. "You were born with every other Uzumaki kekkei genkai and one from your dad! You just need to concentrate everyday, every second even while you sleep you feel chakra flowing into that pineal gland." Shinta was impressed. "Is that how you learned it?"
"No, I was born with it." Shinta glared at him. "I can teach you other jutsu our clan has, it's faster than any Kekkai tota." At that the boy perked up. "I know earth release, wind and lightning techniques." The Boy again looked annoyed because the only other release he knew was earth. "Fine Ojii-san, show me Your Earth Style techniques." The elder Uzumaki nodded and brought him outside of the village and far enough that no one could see them. "Ok what is this technique?" Chitose showed him the hand signs and pressed his palm into the ground causing a massive drill spike to erupt out of the ground. "How- What?" He said seeing the spike that was as high as the hokage monument mountain. "Did I over do it?" He asked, scratching the back of his head. "When would you need a giant spike?!" The nine tails growled inside his cage feeling the pain in his chest, arm and his snout.
"Can you place a rock somewhere open?" Shinta did and formed his hand seals. "Earth release: man eating Lotus!" The earth erupted and a lotus formed closing in on the rock. "This one slowly saps the target chakra and heals itself while the victim attempts to damage it. The more chakra it takes the more it opens, till the target is exhausted but still alive, does fully open." The Lotus completely opened as there was no chakra.
Shinta looked shocked at how fast that was. "That was awesome Ojii-san!" He smiled. As he attempted the same technique only for it not to fail as it only had one segment. "This is so cool. How does it know when to stop?"
"The chakra acts like glue. The less there is, the weaker the glue is." Shinta attempted it again, this time the lotus had two segments. "If you want any taijutsu tips go to Emumi, she's dating a guy with the open gates." Shinta looked a bit confused before realizing. "You mean might guy?" He nodded. "Thanks Ojii-san!" He ran back to Konoha.
"I'm never going to get used to that." He said before the voice of the tailed beast spoke. "You're old and you won't be around forever and then I will be free and burn your village to the ground!" Chitose sighed. "You're At Least fourteen years late." Chitose let images of the destruction of Uzushio play in his mind space playing the destruction and deaths to the fox. "Yea, that's my nightmares every anniversary of the day." The ninetails just watched in silence.
Shinta ran to ichiraku ramen. He saw her eating Miso pork ramen "Auntie, where is your boyfriend?" He asked pointing at her to which she kicked him on the head. After getting berated he sat down and ate his burning hot ramen which was the spiciest food on the menu. Shinta opened a hatch on the bottom of his gas mask and ate it without blowing on it. "So how is it?" Tuechi asked, "It's good, still don't get why, it's called burning hot." Tuechi let out a disappointed sigh. "How do you still have a tongue?" Shinta shrugged. "I mean most kids your age would be screaming out in pain! That is my spiciest recipe yet." Emumi laughed. "Don't worry Teuchi, you will figure out something to make him run out of town." Teuchi went to the back. "So what do you want from me?"
Shinta looked at her from the side eye. "I need to get good at taijutsu and I thought your beast could help me out." Emumi groaned because she didn't want to give him bad news. "Alright kid, Guy is on a mission and he won't be back for a month." Shinta's head fell on the counter. "But I might know something to help you. During the war I fought against a boil release user that combined his boil release with taijutsu, basically turned himself into a rocket. If you could figure out how you would be unbeatable at taijutsu." He thought about finishing the meal and went for a hot bath as it was the only place he could stay without his gas mask.
He knew two things: his taijutsu was crap, compared to most his main play was finding the weakness in someone's style and abusing it. Second he couldn't match against talent, Itachi was that talented and training turned a pillar of what a prodigy should be.
Now his boil release, unlike many, was constantly flowing. "My spit is almost like an acid. It's infused with boil release, but doesn't that mean any liquid he produced could be so?" He Asked Haruna who was painting into his scroll. "What about other liquids?" He asked bored toward the second youngest male. "Like my sweat! In that case I could fly if need be!" He jumped yelling before getting hit on the head by a sandal. "Get back to her or no dinner for a month!" Omoi ordered and the two marched back inside.
After the Academy he attempted his theory. His sisters watched so did Haruna as he hadn't gotten any assignments as of late, Shinta was in his swim trunks and focused his Boil release chakra in his feet and like a rocket he launched into the sky and with that into a tree. "Holy Buddha, it worked?" Haruna asked and the five sisters all stared shocked at the event as they watched Haruna jump on the tree to look at the currently stuck Shinta.
Everyone in the household came out either to berate, laugh or just figure out how he got stuck. "That's imagination for you." Omoi said impressed. "Emumi and Haruna, I know this is mostly your fault." The two about to sneak away sighed
"What were you thinking young man! You could killed yourself or worse! It's a miracle you didn't break your arm or lose a limb." Yet the academy student didn't care, no he had his edge now!
"You can't use that technique." The chunin sensei Said. "Huh?" The sensei blinked at him and answered. "It's an advanced taijutsu ninjutsu combination, so you can't do that but I will make sure you're set to end of the year class for this, I'm honestly impressed that an eight year old doing something like this is impressive." Shinta perked up. "Can I fight Itachi with the technique in the end of the year class?" The sensei shook his head. "Sorry, but no mixed jutsu fight till, I guess the chunin exams." Shinta scowled at the idea. There it wouldn't be any certainty that Itachi would fight against each other. Yet.
"Chitose sensei Train me!" Chitose closed his eyes at Shinta and kicked him into the garden pond.
"I want Rest you twerp! Come back when you're chunin! Also call your sisters, their study time starts in five minutes!" Shinta sighed well it up to himself to make sure he gets strong enough.
Author note: I want Shinta to be Itachi's rival like how Or Sasuke is for Naruto or Jiraiya and Orochimaru or Hashirama and Madara… Might Guy is for kakashi yea that's the best example! Hahahaha.
