Shinta woke up a week later in the Uzumaki compound, the medical wing was covered in seals with Chitose snoring on a chair. "It feels like my entire body got punched." He whispered looking over his body. He then noticed the wires connecting to Chitose who was snoring, he realized that the old man was transferring his chakra to Him.
He looked at the ceiling going over the fight. "Did well, good job not dying," Okei said, throwing him a chunin vest. "Only two out of fourteen passed the exam, good job kid." He looked at the vest with a smile. "Now, try not to kill yourself boldy." Shinta was confused as Okei chuckled, Shinta felt his head and there were only short tufts of hair left. "Should have just body flickered!" Okei laughed and left the room.
Shinta lay back down and looked at the gifts and cards. One from Hana which was a plush dog, Ko just sent him his favorite ramen cup.
After looking at the cards all the younger Uzumaki ran in either in tears or just amazed at him which was only Naruto. His sister all came tearing up and Karin hugged him tightly almost strangling him, all in unison screaming. "DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!" They yelled at him after which Ruka started hitting him. "You jerk!" She said getting pulled away by Omoi yet she continued the struggle. While Rina cried into his chest, covering his shirt in snot.
Kushina put her foot down in the chaos. "Enough, the patient needs his rest." Shinta lay in his bed and sighed, he turned to look at the second person in the medical wing. "I bet Obito and Kakashi will visit you soon." The young woman didn't respond and Shinta sighed, reminding himself that unlike many she was in a never ending dream training her mind and chakra for when they finally can free her.
Haruna sighed, he walked out of the training arena and spat out his teeth. "It is good to see where your loyalties are," Danzo said, looking over the corpse. "You were a valued member, but your worth left you so easily." Haruna bit his tongue, as he was burning with hatred.
During the family meeting, all those of Chunin rank were ordered to meet, as Both Kushina and Chitose wanted the entire clan with experience there to converse. "The village has shown ire toward us," Omoi said looking toward the floor, Haruna felt strained as his mother was mourning her husband.
Okei spoke up. "The village knows about the details in Naruto and that we are keeping the three tails as well." They all looked shocked at the revelation. "The Clans have been annoyed as well, mostly because we're the ones holding two possible village killers in one place." Chitose looked to the side thanking Kami that no one knew about his little nightmare.
Omoi spoke up. "Any idea how it could have leaked?" All eyes turn to Chitose.
He looked annoyed at the rest. "What? Just because I sealed the beasts doesn't mean I would boast about it. Plus if it was me wouldn't they have known about the other half of the issue?" Then they all turned to Kushina.
She looked around and panicked. "I didn't tell Mikoto about Naruto or Rin. Just because we like to chat doesn't mean I tell her everything." They all sighed, with Haruna knowing the bastard who could have done this. "Okei what else have you heard?" He sighed going through his mind library.
Once he got the scrolls. "They know that Rin is comatose, they're happy about that, "it's better than the little bastard running around acting like he's part of the village" as they said." Kushina's hair was burning up like tendrils. "One of the Akimichi Clan said Naruto should die."
Omoi spoke up. "That's why an Akimichi was brought to the emergency room," Okei smirked at that. "That explains the amnesia, the explosive tags, and the burns." She then turned to Okei. "You shouldn't do that Okei, we're already the most hated Clan in Konoha, the only people who even talk to us anymore are the Uchiha, the branch Hyuga, and Teuchi." They all sighed in defeat.
Emumi punched the floor. "No wonder the store's profits are down! I have been Just supplying other weapon stores with explosive tags, better specialize on storage seals and tags, again." She said remembering when she first came to the village.
Kushina sighed. "How is Rin doing?" She hoped for some good news.
Omoi sighed. "Everything is stable, all attempts at a transplant have been rejected, the three tails and her blood type make it impossible to do a transplant successfully." They all knew what she meant with the seal on her heart. The cursed tag and the seal that every Member of Uzugakure Anbu received prevented all and any information leakage. "I have placed the individual curse tag on our old Anbu, there's no way of removing the tag without causing death or replacing the heart." Okei jumped up and spoke calmly toward the only elder of the clan. "Then why isn't Obito being affected by it?" He glared, biting back his rage. "I placed a second seal on him, that stops it from receiving chakra so it only follows its original orders of stopping the seal's victim from becoming a jinchuriki, but Rin's, however, is self-activating, forcing us to place her in this near-death state. We are keeping her at death's door to keep the three tails in Konoha and secure her safety" Okei sat back down as the clan all stayed silent Chitose was the first to stand and they all filtered out one by one.
Haruna still felt guilty as he returned to the root.
Chitose was watching over the girls, mostly forcing them to tree walk. "The first one to reach the apple gets a prize." He told them and all went in a line before the oldest lost her concentration and they fell into a pile. "One by one or else I might die from laughing too much." The girls all glared at him as he snorted. "You're my students so you better expect the training to be hard!" Haruna walked to them. "Yeah the old man is insane, when I was his student he made me walk up a waterfall." The elder interjected. "Your enemy never expects you to run up a waterfall. You better believe it!" The girls all had disappeared while Chitose talked about a battle where he escaped by climbing up a waterfall and they couldn't find him. "That's why it's important to use whatever trick you can, honor is for fools, and always have a poison drinker seal just in case, it might not take in all of it but it keeps you alive long enough to get to a medic-nin." He sensed nearby, having noticed only Haruna was there. "Where did the girls go?" Haruna left too. "I know where you are, you little brats." He decided to kidnap Naruto for some calligraphy. "It's in your blood naruto!" He said looking at the drawing Naruto had made that looked too much like Kushina when angry. "I'm going to frame it." He did so and was glared at for a week by the head of the clan.
Haruna met with Danzo. "Is the curse ready?" Haruna nodded, showing the eye-killing seal. "Will this seal be shared with all Uchiha children?" He asked, looking at the details, a butterfly with shurikens on its wings. "And kill all who have awakened their sharingan sir." He took the scroll. "When will it be ready for mass production?" Haruna kept his head down. "Still a decade to produce enough sir." Danzo took the scroll and smiled as he believed he had a leash on the Uchiha, also a method of neutering the Sharingan without the loss of future potential nin. "You can leave."
Haruna's body flickered and went back to the laboratory, the lab rat was a captured Kiri nin to be exact from the clan of Hōzuki. The man had multiple nails piercing him and multiple seals on his body, not to mention the needle stuck in his head. "It's this a bit gruesome?" Orochimaru asked, looking at the poor Kiri nin. "You're one to talk sir." He said stabbing himself in the forehead with a needle connected to the Kiri nin and the chakra passed between the two Shinobi as Haruna looked through the Kiri nin's life, his dreams, fears, techniques, and hopes. That was when he pulled it out with a nosebleed and heavy breathing. "Well did it work?" Orochimaru asked and Haruna showed it off by expanding the water in his arm almost as if he was using Akamichi's technique. "It's a Hidan technique, still going to edit the framework to suit my preferences." He felt a sudden hit in his mind as his nosebleed grew stronger and fell to his knees. "Hell looks like I might develop something." Orochimaru helped him to his feet. "I assumed this would be the case, I expect from your Uzumaki constitution you're able to withstand the drawbacks of this technique." Haruna nodded looking at the now corpse. "Yeah, the technique is old, like not even Chitose sensei used it. I found it in my clan's vault and it was mainly used to steal seals from other clans if they couldn't get it willingly. Another reason why all the nations shit their pants about us." He spoke casually to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru nodded, smirking as if planning something.
Shinta was babysitting to be exact he was babysitting the two heirs, Sasuke and Naruto as they were fighting with sticks while the girls were…
Meanwhile in the forest of death.
Ruka was screaming her lungs out, cutting down clones with her new katana, while Risa carried her other three sisters who all had been knocked out. Chitose sat while his clones fought. "COME DOWN YOU OLD COWARD!" In an instance, Ruka was knocked out with a single pinch and Chitose stood over Risa with murderous intent causing the poor girl to faint.
Chitose picked the five up. "Welp looks like you're doing all the chores for a month." He chuckled while walking out of the forest.
Uzumaki compound.
Shinta watched the two start playing tag. Itachi came to pick up Sasuke and Shinta jumped to kick him, but Itachi dodged and his body flickered a few feet away. "How about a Spar it will take five minutes." Itachi shook his head. "You overdo it. Let's train at the A grounds." Shinta shrugged and turned to the backyard. "Naruto!" The two children turned to look at Shinta while they were wrestling in the dirt. "Sasuke's going home and saying bye after you two clean up or I'm calling Mom." Naruto and Sasuke ran at the mention of Kushina. "Ok ok! We're Sorry Nii-chan." Itachi looked between Naruto and Shinta. "What?" He smiled. "It's cute he calls you Nii-chan." Shinta shrugged. "I'm the only one he calls that. Haruna is always on something and Okei is a jerk so I'm the only big brother they need. I will do everything to keep their smiles up" He smiled at Naruto coming back. "See I washed extra clean." Sasuke jumped to show Itachi. "I washed even better than Naruto!" They showed their tongues at each other. "Time to go Sasuke." Itachi held on to his brother's hand and followed making faces at Naruto. "See you next week," Naruto said with a smile.
