THIS IS A REBOOT OF THE ORIGINAL STORY!
Chapter 1: The Unconventional Legacy (1/2)
The darkness that surrounded the area was dense, but that wasn't important as the two individuals that were standing there didn't care. Both were standing in front of a shrine, staring menancly at one another.
One of the individuals was a tall and noticeably muscular man with light grayish skin, short spiky black hair, dark brown eyes, and small eyebrows. He was wearing bandages like a mask over the bottom half of his face. He was shirtless, with his chest only covered by a belt, wearing baggy pants with the striped pattern typical of Kirigakure and mimetic wrist-warmers extending up to his elbows, with matching leg-warmers. But the most noticeable thing about the individual was the weapon in his hand, a large broadsword, as tall as a full-grown man, shaped like a butcher knife.
The other individual was a young boy that had his face covered by a porcelain mask which was fashioned to resemble a toad orange markings on the cheeks. He wore black jumpsuit , metal arm guards and gloves, ninja sandals and a black cloak over the outfit. But what really stood out the most about him, was the weapon in his hand, a strange looking sword hilt that mimicked the symbol of the Senju Clan.
The boy wearing the mask held the hilt up and to his opponent's surprise, a strange looking energy blade that glowed bright white and was apparently infused with pure electrical energy emanated from the hilt.
"Come on then." His opponent called out for him as he assumed a combat stance with his own blade.
With that invitation, the boy charged at him and leaped forward, swinging his blade dowards at him. Upon impact, the man was sent sliding backwards as a result of the immense raw strength that came from that attack.
But the man stood tall and delivered an attack of his own, swinging his massive blade horizontally towards his opponent.
Only for the boy to easily dodge by ducking before he performed a spin attack, missing his head by an inch due to him moving his head back to avoid the attack. Using the momentum to attempt a second attack, the masked boy easily blocked the attack with his sword.
Before he delivered a backfist strike to the man's face. "AHHH!" With the impact sending the man to the ground, sliding to a considerable distance.
Wasting no time, the boy held his blade in reverse grip and charged towards him, proceeding to jump into the air in order to stab the man from above with the sword. But the man simply rolled to the left, barely evading the attack. As the strange looking energy sword pierced the ground.
The man stood up and quickly resumed his stance.
"I'm disappointed." The boy commented as he pulled his blade from the ground. "I was expecting more from one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist ." He pointed in clear dissatisfaction. "It looks like that big sword is the only thing even remotely special about you, Zabuza Momochi." The man who he was battling was Zabuza Momochi, also known as, the Demon of the Hidden Mist.
"You know, I thought the exact same thing when I saw you." Zabuza pointed out. "That's the Sword of the Thunder God, isn't it?" He asked the boy, since that peculiar sword was hard to go unnoticed..
"Yes." He bluntly answered.
"That means you are who I think you are." Zabuza spoke as the rain fell over the two.
"Probably." The boy replied, before lifting his left hand up. With Zabuza widening his eyes as he sees the boy performing a single hand seal with a single hand. "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu" A flat hand with all fingers extended except the index finger, which is put under the thumb.
Once he did, he moulds the water from the rain drops into the shape of a dragon, which then he directs at his target. It was clearly shocking to Zabuza since this was a very complicated water Jutsu. The water dragon immediately charged towards Zabuza. With the Demon of the Hidden Mist barely having time to evade it by jumping to the side as the water dragon collided with the shrine.
Unfortunately, he didn't realize that it was simply a distraction and the moment he jumped out of the way. The boy jumped forward and gave him a jumping punch, which sent him flying all the way towards the shrine's door. Passing through it as soon as he collided, practically destroying the sacred place's door.
The boy then charged towards the door and made his way inside where he saw Zabuza standing up. The boy then charged towards him once again, with both starting to trade blows in a very brutal exchange. With Zabuza clearly being in the disadvantage as the boy not only possessed a very unique weapon but his Kenjutsu skills were clearly high-level. With him delivering lightning quick and heavily precise strikes that were accompanied by an immense amount of force that Zabuza was having trouble defending it from. Despite doing a decent job at first, it was clear that the boy had enough stamina to go all night long, while Zabuza was starting to lose speed at each defence. Not only that, but his sword was being damaged by the attacks from the Sword of the Thunder God as several chips were visible each time that their blades connected with one another.
Eventually, that made the difference. As the boy was able to find an opening and deliver a stab into Zabuza's torso, but the blade didn't pierced him, instead it released a strong electrical shock. "AAAAHHH!" Causing Zabuza to stumble backwards and nearly lose his footing, but he fought through and was able to resist it. Unfortunately, it left him open for an additional attack, which came in the form of several kicks in quick succession before finishing with a powerful kick that sent him flying away.
Only for the boy to once again, perform a hand seal with a single hand. " Wood Style: Giant Forest Jutsu." Which changed his arm into big trees with sharp stakes, turning them into countless, sharp, spear-like piercing weapons.
Zabuza saw that he was about to be on the receiving end of it and quickly used his massive blade to counter the attack, though, it only partially worked because some of the stakes actually did hit Zabuza, letting out a considerable amount of blood that fell into his blade, repairing from the damage that was made from the masked boy's attacks.
The boy's arm reversed back to normal and Zabuza landed back on the floor, bleeding considerably from the attack.
"Look," The masked boy decided to speak. "Just hand the Kubikiribōchō over and I'll let you go." In truth, all that the masked boy wanted from the Demon of the Hidden Mist was his sword.
"The only way you're taking this from me, is if you loot it off my corpse." Zabuza stated, clearly showing no intention of giving up the blade.
"If you insist." Yet again, he performed a hand seal with a single hand. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu." With him expelling a giant orb of fire from his mouth afterwards. Launching at the Demon of the Hidden Mist, who simply stood there, bleeding from the wounds that were just inflicted at him.
However, as the orb of fire was about to hit him...

Everything was interrupted by a strange flash of sunlight on his face. "Hmmm..." The boy grunted as it was too bright, covering his face with his arm to keep the sunlight off his eyes.
"Morning." And a voice accompanied the light on his face.
Causing the one who just woke up from the dream to immediately sit up and look around. He was inside of a nice looking room, decorated with well made furniture. Moving his head to the right, he caught the sight of someone familiar. A fair skinned, green eyed, and pink haired girl, wearing a red qipao dress with short sleeves with slits along the sides accompanied by a zipper and white circular designs. She was also wearing tight dark green shorts with blue sandals, and the standard Konoha forehead protector worn as a hairband . "Good morning, Sakura." The girl was Sakura Haruno.
"Sorry to wake you up, but I'm gonna have to leave soon." The pink haired girl informed him in an apologetic tone as she stood in front of the glass door that leads to the terrace outside.
In truth, the two of them were inside Sakura's room. With him sitting down on top of her bed wearing nothing but black boxers. She was nice enough to let him hide there and spend the night.
"Oh, of course." He immediately pulled the covers off and proceeded to leave her bed. "Aaahh..." Only to feel a considerable amount of pain on his torso.
"Hey!" Sakura rushed towards him. "I told you to take it easy." She helped him up gently and placed him on the bed once again. "You really should go to a hospital and have a Medical-nin take a look at that." The pink haired girl was clearly worried.
In truth, the one sitting on the bed had his torso covered in bandages due to an injury that he received. "I will... Later..." He replied while looking away. Honestly, I'm still a little confused, usually, it takes a day at most for my injuries to heal completely, but this one is taking longer than usual for some reason.
"Seiryu..." The one on the bed was called Seiryu . He was a very beautiful boy with waist-length white hair styled in a side parted fringe, dark eyes and fair skin.
"Listen, don't worry about me, I'm fine." Seiryu replied to the worried girl.
Only for her to sigh in clear frustration. "Seriously, going hunting for a Missing-In, what the hell were you even thinking?!" She asked him in visible anger of his very reckless action. "Everyone was worried sick about you!"
"You didn't tell anyone that I was back at the village, right?" Since no one actually knows it yet, despite the fact that the Hokage has clearly placed guards on watch for his return.
"No." She folded her arms. "But maybe I should have." Sakura was visibly just as annoyed as everyone else by the looks of it.
Seiryu just sighed in response before saying. "I knew I should have stayed in Sasuke's house." Despite knowing that he would have probably received an even worse scolding.
"What?!" Sakura clearly took offense over that. "You rather stay with him than with me!?"
"Right now, yes." Despite still feeling pain, Seiyru stood up from the bed and moved towards his clothes that were on the floor. Which were a white short shirt kimono with matching pants, hand guards, a black belt and black sandals. Some bandages that he likes to wrap around his fists, his Konoha forehead protector in the color black that he actually wears on his left wrist, and the First Hokage's Necklace.
Only for Sakura to stand in front of him with her arms folded. Giving him a very serious expression.
...
...
...
...
"Sakura..." Until that expression melted into a sad face.
"I was worried, okay?" The pink haired girl spoke in a low voice before she gently touched his chest and pressed herself against his torso. Seiryu was taller than her, so the height difference honestly made it easy.
"I'm sorry," And Seiryu wasted no time in hugging her. "I didn't mean to make you worried."
In truth, Seiryu wanted to avoid encountering his friends because he felt really bad for making them all worried like that. The only reason he went to stay at Sakura's home was because her parents were out of the village on a business trip and he knew that Sakura wasn't going to tell anyone that he was there.
As the two continued to hug each other tightly, a strange looking shadow appeared in the place where the sunlight was. Causing Seiryu to actually move his head to the right to see what it was. Only for him to widen his dark eyes as he saw someone at the terrace, staring at the two.
"I knew it!" The "someone" opened the door and stepped inside of the room. A fair-skinned girl with light blue eyes and long, platinum blonde hair with bangs framing the right side of her face.
"AH!" Sakura reacted accordingly. "Get the hell out of my house, Ino-Pig!" The one who entered the room was Ino Yamanaka.
"Happily, Forehead Girl!" Suddenly, Ino hugged Seiyru's right arm and said. "Come on, Seiryu?!" She clearly intended on taking Seiryu with her.
"What the hell?!" Sakura wasted no time in hugging Seiryu's other arm. "He isn't going anywhere!"
"Dammit, I knew you were going to get hurt." But Ino ignored Sakura and checked the bandages on his torso. "You should have come to my house instead." Hearing that caused Sakura to give her an even more hateful stare.
"Ummm...Your dad would have delivered me to the Hokage with no mercy." Since Ino's dad detested Seiryu.
"Well, he isn't home now." Ino really wanted to take Seiryu out of Sakura's home.
"Like hell he's going with you, I'm the one nursing him back to health!" Sakura stated as she hugged his arm even tighter. "How the hell did you know that he was here anyway?!" That was something that Seiryu wanted to know as well.
"Kiba said that Akamaru got his scent, and then I just knew it." Ino explained .
Dammit... That means that the others know, so it was just a matter of time before the rest of the village and the Hokage figured it out as well.
"You stupid moron, you probably lead them to him!" Sakura let go of Seiryu's arm and pointed her finger accusingly towards Ino's face.
"Which is why, he should just come with me, because they will be here at any minute!" She folded her arms and gave Sakura a smirk in response to her. "Right, Seiryu?" Only for the two girls to move their heads and realize that Seiyru was nowhere to be seen.
Because as they were arguing, Seiryu simply put his clothes back on and sneaked out through the terrace.
"WHERE DID HE GO?!"
After leaving the home of one of his closest female friends. Seiryu simply decided to just find another place to hide. That place was none other than his best friend's home. So he secretly made his way to the Uchiha Compound.
Letting out a loud sigh as he stepped inside that dreadful place. No doubt, the place looked decent at some point, but now it looked like nothing more than a barely habitable place. With buildings and houses that seemed to be in the blink of collapse. Some people were on the street, either trying to clean up the walls or eating something that didn't look good at all.
They all noticed Seiryu walking by and gave him strange looks. With Seiryu doing his best to avoid eye-contact. Part of me always wondered if they could tell or something like that. The Uchiha Clan didn't exactly have a pleasant story with his own clan.
It only took a short walk for him to arrive at his destination. It was simplistic but well kept home that stuck out like a sore thumb. Mostly because of how clean it was in comparison to the rest.
Is there anyone home? Seiryu asked himself, before he got his answer. "Ouch!" Which came in the form of someone grabbing on his ear.
Moving his head slightly to the left, the white haired boy saw a brown haired woman with bangs framing her face and onyx eyes, with a mole under her right eye. "Seiryu!" She angrily yelled his name.
"H-hi... Izumi." The woman's name was Izumi Uchiha.
"Get your butt inside the house, now!" She ordered as she harshly pulled him by the ear, forcing him to enter the Uchiha household.
"Ow, ow, ow!" With Seiryu whining in pain since his ears were his weak area.
The woman dragged him by the ear into the house, which had a simplistic and minimalist interior with little to no decoration. Seiryu was dragged all the way to the living room, where she pointed at a small table there. Clearly indicating for him to sit down.
"Sit there, they'll be back at any moment." By the looks of it, the two other people that lived in that house weren't home.
"Oh, if that's the case I'l-" He attempted to stand up and suggested that he would come back another time.
"You sit right there and don't move a muscle until they come back." Izumi made it clear that he had no choice in the matter.
"Yes, Ma'am." He placed his head down and complied.
With that Izumi left the room, leaving Seiryu alone in the Uchiha home. Oh boy, Izumi is clearly furious. Which was kind of obvious. I can only imagine how they must have felt when they heard the news.
He could only sit there quietly, waiting for them to return. Thankfully, the quietness didn't last, because Izumi came back to the room.
"Here, you clearly didn't have breakfast." She slowly moved towards the table carrying a cup of milk and some buttered toast.
"Thanks." He thanked her right away since he was indeed starving. He immediately gulped down the milk once she put it on the table.
Izumi then sighed and asked. "Seiryu..." She made a very upset expression. "Do you know how worried we were?"
Seiryu only looked down in shame before he took a small bite from his toast. "How did they react?"
"Both of them wanted to go after you and I wasn't going to stop them." Izumi informed him while folding her arms. "However, the Hokage forbade them."
"Why?" He was actually a little confused about that.
"Do you have any idea how many people wanted to go after you, he knew that if he let one go, he would have to allow everyone else to as well." Izumi informed him, despite the fact that Seiryu knew that she was probably exaggerating.
"Hah!" So he didn't take it seriously. "Come on, be real, like he could stop anyone from disobeying and going anyway."
"He didn't, some of your friends actually tried." Hearing that, caused Seiryu to nearly choke on his toast.
"What?!" He was shocked to hear that.
"Are you seriously surprised?" She asked him in clear disbelief. "Hell, Sasuke didn't try it because we were able to stop him."
Seiryu let out a very loud sigh. This keeps getting worse... He thought in deep annoyance.
"That's what you get for having so many loyal friends." She commented sarcastically in response to his frustration. "When you do something stupid, it affects all of them." She was right about that. "Especially Sasuke."
Seiryu looked down once again.
"Listen, he... We have all already lost a lot since what happened..." Izumi reminded him of it as she affectionately touched his shoulder. "So please, don't put yourself at risk like that." The former Kunoichi practically begged him. "We can't really take anymore lost." She spoke for both herself and the two.
Seiryu opened his mouth to reply. But when he did, another voice was heard.
"We're home." It turns out that the other two that lived in that house have arrived.
So instead of replying to Izumi, he said, "Welcome home."
The moment he said that, he heard steps rushing towards the room that he and Izumi were in.
The first one to enter was a fairly tall man of fair complexion. He had black eyes, jet-black hair that was pulled back in a low ponytail and his face was framed with centre-parted bangs that extended to his chin. He was wearing a black shirt with the Uchiha clan symbol on the back, bandages around his ankles, tan pants and black sandals.
The second one was a boy near the same age as him whose overall appearance was very similar to the tall man standing beside him. He had black eyes and spiky black hair with a blue tint, he was wearing a black, one-piece outfit with many small belts adorning his left arm and similar bands around both legs.
The two reacted with an expression of relief upon seeing him sitting there. However, it was quickly replaced with angry expressions.
"Hi Sasuke," He greeted Sasuke Uchiha first. "Hi Itachi." Then he greeted Itachi Uchiha next.
"Seiryu..." Itachi was the first one to speak. Giving him a very apprehensive look. Causing a large sweet drop to appear at the back of Seiryu's head.
"Seiryu..." Sasuke on the other hand looked furious and clearly wanted to hit Seiryu.
The boy with long white hair could only gulp down his cup of milk as he prepared himself to be scolding.
However, he ended up getting more than he bargained for. Because Sasuke immediately rushed towards him and grabbed him by the collar of his short shirt kimono. "You stupid arrogant moron!" He yelled at Seiryu's face angrily. "What the hell were you even thinking!?"
"That's the third time that I heard that today." Seiryu pointed out with his hands in the air.
"I doubt that it will be the last time." Itachi added as he approached them. "Does the Hokage know that you're back in the village?" Sasuke's brother asked him.
"Well..." Seiryu scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
"You actually think he would come here if it wasn't to hide." Sasuke pointed out angrily.
"Seiryu, I am not going to hide you here, the least you can do is face your-" Itachi was quick to shut off the idea of Seiryu hiding there.
"Alright," Seiryu then pushed Sasuke's hands away with great ease. "See you three some other time then." Before he quickly stood up in order to make his way to the exit.
Only to get death glares from the three in response. "Sit down, Seiryu Senju." Itachi made it clear that he was going nowhere.
Seiryu grunted and rolled his eyes before sitting back down.
Then Itachi sighed and said, "You can stay for a bit, but you will go to the Hokage's office before nightfall, am I being clear?" Those were his terms and it was kind of clear that he was going to drag himself otherwise.
Seeing that he had little choice in the matter. "Fine."
"When did you get back anyway?" Sasuke asked him.
"Yesterday, at noon, I think." The sun was going down when he arrived.
"What?" Sasuke seemed to be confused by that answer. "You didn't go home yesterday, otherwise your cousin would have warned everyone."
"First of all, there's no way that Karin would have warned any of you." Since his cousin would want to keep him to herself for as long as she possibly could. "Second, you're right, I actually went to-" He stopped himself from saying it, because he would probably give some very unfortunate implications about his stay at Sakura's home.
However, him stopping in the middle of it, clearly gave all the answers that Sasuke needed. "You went to the house of one of those dumb girls that keep crawling over you, right?" For some reason, Sasuke sounded considerably angry for some reason.
"I was originally going to come here, but I wanted to avoid a scolding from you guys, so I went to Sakura's home." Unfortunately, he ended up getting what he was trying to avoid, which were looks from the three of them due to the unfortunate implication. "I just slept there, nothing else happened."
"Are you sure?" Sasuke asked in curiosity. "That annoying girl could have tried something while you were asleep."
"Okay, now you're just being paranoid, Sasuke." Izumi pointed out
"It wouldn't be the first time." Sasuke was referring to the time when his cousin sneaked into his bed and pressed her lips into his while he was asleep.
"Ah..." Seiryu simply waved it off . "She was way too worried about my injury to tr-" By pure and complete accident, Seiryu revealed something that he didn't mean to reveal.
Which caused the family that was standing in front of him to immediately shoot him looks of concern. "Show us." Itachi was quick to demand.
"Ehhh... It wasn't-" He tried to argue that it wasn't something serious, but Sasuke wasted no time and opened his kimono shirt. Making the bandages in his torso visible.
"Dammit Seiryu!" Sasuke yelled at him in response.
"How deep was that?!" Izumi asked as she inspected the bandages.
Itachi touched his face in deep frustration. "I'm taking you to the hospital."
"Guys, that's really not-" Seiryu tried to argue but he was interrupted right away. By Itachi literally picking him up like he was a little kid. "Hey! Put me down!" The long haired boy immediately yelled in response.
"You don't have a say in this, moron." Sasuke spoke in clear agreement with his brother.
"Make sure he doesn't run away before the Medical-Nin actually inspects his wound." Izumi advised them as she watched both her husband and brother-in-law leave with the boy that they all considered family.
Seiryu sighed in defeat. In truth, his injury was hurting and he was still very tired from the trip. So he really didn't have the energy to escape Itachi. But he was still quite ashamed of the fact that he was being carried by the older shinobi, but it was better than walking, so he decided to just suck it up and enjoy the trip. "Is it true that you two tried to go after me?" He asked as they all passed through the front door of the house.
"Yes." Sasuke confirmed. "But the Hokage stopped everyone from trying it."
"Strange, knowing him, I'm surprised that he didn't send anyone after me." Seiryu pointed out in a slight confusion since the Hokage is possibly the third person in the whole world that would worry the most about his safety.
"He tried, but the amount of people that wanted to go after you was just way too immense and he knew that sending a single person would make a bunch of people leave on their own as well." Itachi explained to him. "So the council pretty much convinced him to just wait for you to come back despite his deep reluctance."
Seiryu closed his eyes for a second and considered an horrendous possibility. "Do you think he told my mom?" That would have been the worst possible outcome in this mess.
"Your mother would probably murder him for allowing this to happen before she kills you, so I doubt it." Sasuke pointed out, and he wasn't wrong.
"Yeah..." Seiryu could imagine how he and the hokage would suffer his mother's wrath if she found out about this little escapade. Funnily enough, the whole reason why he pulled a stunt like this was because she was on a trip with his aunt Shizune.
Eventually, the trio left the Uchiha compound, and walked through Konohagakure. With Seiryu being considerably embarrassed by the sights that he was receiving due the fact that Itachi was carrying him in his arms. Though, the embarrassment was mixed with annoyance as some of the villagers were giving very hateful glares at the Uchiha brothers. Something every member of the Uchiha clan had to endure since the Uchiha Clan's revolt. Neither Sasuke or Itachi really cared about that, mostly because the villagers were smart enough to not mess with them. Especially considering that Itachi was Head of the Uchiha Clan.
Seiryu decided to close his eyes and enjoy the trip.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?!" But he was forced to open his eyes once again after he heard someone speaking to them. Then he catched the sight of a familiar face. A young girl with long, dark-brown hair, that reaches down to the middle of her back, with long parted bangs with a single lock of hair falling into her face. She also has large, white eyes with a hint of lilac in them. She was wearing a sleeveless, blue v-neck shirt with mesh armour underneath; blue shorts and sandals. "Put Seiryu down right now!" She ordered the older Uchiha.
"I would like to, but if I do, he's going to run away again." Itachi pointed out the obvious to the girl with a smile.
"What exactly are you doing here, Hanabi?" Sasuke asked the girl with a bored expression.
The girl was Hanabi Hyūga, the heiress of the Hyūga clan. "I'm helping everyone look for Seiryu, but by the looks of it, you were hiding him in your home all this time!" She accused Sasuke with no mercy.
Seiryu had an urge to speak, but he decided to stay quiet to see where this was going.
"What if I was?" Sasuke made no effort to counter her accusation.
Hanabi seemed to be about to reply to Sasuke, but she was interrupted. "Hey, did you find anything!" By someone rushing towards Hanabi. "What the hell! Put Seiryu down right now!" It was a small boy with short spiky brown hair, blue eyes, and a small chip in his tooth. He was wearing grey shorts and a yellow shirt with a red Konoha symbol printed on it.
Itachi just let out a chuckle. "My brother and I are taking him to the hospital because Seiryu was hurt by..." He tried to explain to the two, but then he realized something. "Ummm... Who did this again?"
"Long story, I'll tell you later." Seiryu replied since he wasn't in the mood to talk about it now. I still can't figure out what was that thing that attacked me after my fight with Zabuza. Whatever it was, it was something unique, because I never had an injury like this before.
"Big brother, are you alright?" The little boy rushed towards the white haired boy to inspect him.
"I'm fine, Konohamaru..." The young boy was Konohamaru Sarutobi, the grandson of the third Hokage and Seiyru's honorary brother.
"How could you run off like that?!" Konohamaru asked with a sad expression. "You made everybody worried!"
Seiryu rolled his eyes in deep annoyance. He was really starting to get annoyed over how nearly the entire village is super possessive towards him. "I was only gone for a bit, stop being so dramatic." Saying that clearly angered everyone.
"You were out for a whole month, that's way more than a bit, Seiryu!" Hanabi was quick to rebuff as she approached Seiryu as well.
The moment he heard that, Seiryu had an awful realization. Oh crap, has it really been a whole month already?! He really had no idea. That means that my mom could be back at any second! It was a deeply terrifying thought.
Which caused Seiryu to actually leap off Itachi's arms. "See you guys later." Before he performed the Teleportation Jutsu and disappeared right in front of them.
"Hey!"
"Get back here!"
"Wait, Big Brother!"
"Don't run off again, you jerk!"
The four of them yelled as Seiryu basically ran off again.
After pretty much escaping Itachi, Sasuke, Konohamaru and Hanabi. Seiryu Senju made his way to a spot that he really wanted to visit.
Ramen Ichiraku, because he was starving since he couldn't finish the breakfast that Izumi made for him due to being carried away by Itachi.
Unfortunately, going there attracted a lot of attention as several of the villagers noticed him approaching the place. You know, it's kind of hard to be a Shinobi at times. Because Seiryu was way too easy to spot.
"Excuse me?" Seiryu spiked as he entered the stand.
"Ah," And the owner, who was cleaning up the counter,was quick to notice him. "Seiryu, you're back."
"Yup," He took his favorite seat, which was the last one on the right. "And I'm hungry." The white haired boy leaned forward. "The usual please." The usual was basically Tonkotsu Miso Ramen.
Seiryu noticed that it was only the owner, Teuchi , today and his daughter, Ayame, was nowhere to be seen. He gladly took his order and proceeded to prepare it as he waited.
The young Shinobi then pressed his face on the counter and closed his eyes for a bit, since he was a little tired due to being abruptly awoken by Sakura earlier that day. This is going to be a difficult week, but... It was worth it. That was his opinion about the whole ordeal. Though, now I'm gonna have to deal with my friend's clinginess , my mother's wrath and my- Before Seiryu could finish that thought, he felt a very strange vibration coming from the counter. Which caused him to move his head up. Only for him to realize that someone was standing on top of the counter.
"Hah!" A boy with shiny black hair in a bowl-cut style, round eyes with prominent lower eyelashes, and very thick eyebrows. He was wearing a green jumpsuit, orange leg warmers, and a red forehead protector worn as a belt "I finally found you!" He declared with a big smile on his face while pointing at Seiryu.
Seiryu on the other hand just had a bored expression. "Lee..." The one standing on top of the counter was Rock Lee, his self-proclaimed eternal rival.
"I have awaited your return since our last battle and I'm here to challeng-" Lee spoke in a completely over the top fashion.
Until he was interrupted.
"Teuchi literally just cleaned that counter." The long haired boy informed the boy with a bowl cut of the fact. "Would you kindly get your dirty feet off of it?"
Lee widened his eyes and immediately moved his head to look at Teuchi, who was giving him an angry glare, because he did indeed just clean that counter. "My sincerest apologies." Before he immediately jumped off the counter and bowed respectfully towards the establishment's owner, before apologizing.
Who just scoffed before returning to prepare Seiryu's order.
"How exactly did you find me?" Seiryu asked him in curiosity since Lee isn't exactly a tracker.
"Lucky guess." Lee answered with a smile. "You usually either come here or Yakiniku Q when you're hungry."
"True." He had to admit, that was a smart guess, especially coming from Lee. "What do you want?" Kind of pointless to ask that, since he was perfectly aware of it.
"I would like to challenge you in order to even our scores." By scores, he means the number of times that they competed in some type of challenge that he and Lee have challenged each other. The challenges are usually some dumb competition, like who can eat the most plates of a certain food or who can climb a mountain the fastest. Currently, his score was 37 wins and 36 losses.
"What is the challenge?" Seiryu wasn't really in the mood to do something dumb.
"I choose the last one, so it's your turn to pick." Lee was already enthusiastic and clearly eager to get started.
Well... I'm injured and have a lot on my mind in regards to the consequences of my little escapade. Seiryu pondered that doing anything right now was going to be a bad idea. "Let's have a Taijutsu match." He proposed with a smile. I could use a good fight to get my mind off my problems.
"Yes!" Lee was overjoyed since it was his favorite.
With that, the two eternal rivals made their way outside in order to proceed with the challenge. Taking considerable steps away from the Ramen Ichiraku and standing in the middle of the street with several villagers taking notice of the two boys.
The two stared at one another for a bit with smiles on their faces. Before they both gave serious expressions to one another as they assumed their fighting stances.
With Lee placing his hand behind his back and the other hand forward.
While Seiryu flexed his elbows, knees, hip, and neck, and clenched his hands into tight fists.
It only took a few seconds for Seiryu Senju to charge at Rock Lee. Delivering three haymakers that he was able to dodge with ease. With Lee attempting to deliver a jab at Seiryu's face after dodging the third haymaker, Seiryu easily parried with his forearm, however, that was simply an opening for Lee to use the Leaf Hurricane as a follow up. With him delivering a backwards high kick with his left foot , he clearly expected Seiryu to block in order to make him vulnerable to the second kick.
Which he didn't, Seiryu simply took the first kick which clearly was only meant as a faint since it lacked any real power, which surprised Lee. Unfortunately, that surprise was the opportunity that Seiryu needed, as he took advantage and pushed Lee's leg away after it connected to his face, causing the boy wearing a jumpsuit to spin around and be vulnerable to a spinning backfist from Seiryu.
The moment his fist connected, Rock Lee was sent flying into a nearby wall by the devastating blow that came from Seiryu. With him colliding with the wall, causing a considerable amount of damage as cracks that resembled a spider's web formed on it. With Lee falling on the floor right away but wasting no time in standing up and resuming his fighting stance.
Only for him to widen his eyes and move his head to the right to evade a punch coming from Seiryu by a few inches. With his fist connecting to the wall and causing it to collapse completely.
Once the wall completely fell apart, it revealed an old lady and a little girl on the other side, causing a massive sweat drop to appear on the back of Seiryu's head. "Ummm..." He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. "Send the bill to the Hokage's office and say that it was Seiryu's fault." The long haired boy instructed the old lady.
"Your monstrous strength never ceases to impress me, my friend." Rock Lee smiled and commented in response to what just happened.
Seiryu just smiled in response.
Before they resumed their serious expressions and proceeded to continue with their friendly match. With Lee attempting a Dynamic Entry at Seiryu. However, the white haired boy simply smiled in response because that move was only good as a surprise attack. Allowing Seiryu to easily parry the upcoming flying kick by pushing his leg down with both of his hands. However, Lee actually grabbed his wrist with the intention of pulling some kind of grapple move, but Seiryu easily trapped his hand and swung a backfist to his face, which he ducked just in time, but it left him open for a right haymaker to the face.
The punch caused Lee to fall on the ground and slide to a considerable distance. But Lee clearly had no intention of quitting and he stood up right away.
Seiryu smirked and prepared to continue.
Seiryu Senju and Rock Lee was a very interesting example of a contrast between Taijutsu styles.
Rock Lee had great proficiency in the Strong Fist fighting style, being trained in several taijutsu techniques and clearly being the more refined of the two.
Seiryu Senju on the other hand, was nothing more than a Styless Brawler. Or at least, he fought like one. In reality, Seiryu had advanced skill in several fighting styles, but he simply preferred a more blunt and straightforward approach to Taijutsu.
Lee smiled at Seiryu and immediately charged to continue their fight.
However, before they could.
"Hey, your order is ready!" Teuchi actually informed Seiryu that his ramen was ready.
"Pause!" With the boy with long hair turning around and making his way back to Ramen Ichiraku.
Lee seemed a little disappointed that they stopped right when it was getting good, but Seiryu was hungry and he didn't want his food to get cold. So he retook his seat in the ramen restaurant and prepared himself to eat. "Thank you very much!" He thanked Teuchi before he grabbed the chopsticks.
"There he is!" Only to drop them right away as he heard a familiar voice coming from outside. It took less than a second for someone to enter the restaurant. "So all this time, you were just here eating Ramen?!" It was a girl with black hair in two buns on her head with short fringe-bangs framing her face and grey eyes. She wears a pink sleeveless qipao-style with red sleeve trimmings and yellow fastening buttons and dark green pants. A pouch is adjusted to her thigh and her forehead protector and sandals are both blue.
"Not exactly..." Seiryu replied with a bored expression. "Shouldn't you be in your father's store, Tenten?" The girl was Rock Lee's teammate and one of Seiryu's many female friends. Tenten.
"Don't even try to change the subject!" She yelled at him angrily. "Seriously, you disappeared for a whole month and now you just act like nothing happened!"
"Yes." He bluntly replied before getting the chopsticks and preparing to taste his delicious ramen. Only for someone to actually grab his food. "Hey!" Moving his head to see who it was, he realized that there was someone besides Tenten.
"Do you have any idea how many sleepless nights you gave my cousins?" A boy with fair skin and long black hair, and featureless white eyes with a slight lavender tint. He wore a beige-coloured shirt, a dull blue shirt beneath that, and mesh armour beneath that. He wore dark brown shorts, blue shinobi sandals, and wrapped bandages around his right arm, chest, and right leg. He tied his hair back in a loose ponytail tied a few inches above the end. He wore a black forehead protector, under which was a smaller headband with two straps that frame the sides of his face.
Seiryu just raises a brow before leaning his head on his hand and replying. "By the looks of it, you also went a few sleepless nights yourself because of me, Neji." The one holding his bowl was none other than Neji Hyūga. "I'm almost flattered." That comment clearly hit a nerve on Neji, who simply frowned in response with a large vein appearing in his forehead.
"That would explain why Neji seemed to be a little tired during trai-" Lee walked into the restaurant to join his friends and seemed to agree with Seiryu's statement despite the fact that it was actually a joke. Causing Neji to move his head to glare at Lee while activating his Byakugan while grinding his teeth in anger. With Lee immediately shutting up and a sweat drop appearing in the back of his head.
However, Seiryu took that opportunity to retrieve his plate of ramen, swiftly grabbing off Neji's hand and placing it back on the top of the counter. However, as he prepared to eat, Neji moved his head to look at Seiryu and realized something.
"There is a massive cut on your torso." Neji pointed out, causing Lee and Tenten to look at him in surprise.
"Neji, didn't you get in trouble enough the last time you used your Byakugan to look under people's clothes?" Seiryu recalled with a smirk, causing Neji to blush as the accident in the Hot Springs still brings him shame.
"Wait a minute!" Rock Lee just realized something. "You were fighting me while you were injured!?"
Neji and Tenten could only look at Lee with dumbfounded expressions in response. Before giving Seiryu apprehensive looks that he was more than tired of receiving.
"What?" Seiryu asked while lifting his shoulders.
"Are you-" Tenten was about to scold Seiryu, while Lee cried tears of disappointment over the realization that he was getting his ass kicked by an injured opponent.
Before she could, however, Neji looked through the wall using his Byakugan. "The others are coming." He warned everyone.
"Great," Tenten was happy to hear that. "You better get ready to get-" She was about to warn Seiryu to prepare himself to get scolded by everyone over the whole disappearing for a whole month and getting into a fight with Lee while injured. Only to realize that he wasn't in his seat anymore. "Where did he go?!" Actually, he was nowhere to be seen.
Lee and Neji noticed as well and immediately searched around for him.
"He left as soon as you moved your head away from him." Teuchi informed them while pointing at the bowl of ramen that Seiryu didn't get to eat.
After evading his friends once again, Seiryu Senju decided to find another place to hide. Fortunately or unfortunately, there was nobody home.
So he decided to take advantage of the situation and have a nice shower. Feeling a bit refreshed as the hot water fell on his face. This day was longer than usual. It was noon and the sun was going down.
After two more minutes, Seiryu turned off the water and got off the shower stall. Drying himself with an orange towel before wrapping around his hip to cover himself and making his way to the sink in order to look at himself in the mirror.
Dammit... Seiryu thought in deep annoyance as he looked at the injury in his torso. This isn't a common injury, otherwise it would have been healed by now. Despite not being as good as his mother, Seiryu had enough knowledge in Medical Ninjutsu to know that there was something off about that injury.
Despite his desire to avoid confronting his family and friends as much as possible, he really needed to have that checked by a Medical-nin. Though, by the looks of it, his mother would be the only one that could have the answer. If I can't figure it out, I highly doubt that a regular Medical-Nin could.
The boy with white hair sighed and rubbed his eyes for a bit. "What the hell is that?!" Only to get startled by a voice coming from behind him. Opening his dark eyes and looking at the mirror, Seiryu saw a girl with yellow-blond hair with two pigtails and blue eyes. She was wearing an orange and blue jacket with a white collar, a white swirl with a tassel on the left side, and a red crest on the back. She also wore orange pants with a shuriken holster on his right knee, blue sandals, and a blue forehead protector.
The boy sighed in relief before turning around. "You scared me." Although, it's kind of silly since it was her home that Seiryu practically broke into.
"You're showering in someone else's home and you're the one getting startled?" She pointed out the silliness of the situation. "Seriously, where did that come from?" The blond girl asked as she poked his wound.
"AH!" With Seiryu reacting accordingly. "Don't touch it!"
"Sorry!" She immediately replied. "But that looks really bad."
"Yeah... But it's nothing my mother can't solve " Seiryu had to agree. Then he turned around to inspect it one more time. I really need to suck it up and go to the hospital, regardless of how annoying it will be to get scolded by my However, while he was in deep thought about his injury, the blond girl hugged him from behind. "H-hey..." With Seiryu blushing a bit since there was only a towel covering him.
"What's that I heard about you sleeping in Sakura's home?" She whispered into his ear in a jovial but somewhat menacing tone while she pressed her front into his back. With Seiryu actually feeling her blossoms pressing against his back.
"Ehhh..." Seiryu knew that it was a bad idea since her parents could be back at any second but he always had a weakness for when she did something like that. "You know, Sasuke had a similar reaction." He decided to joke to try to get out of that situation.
"Oh," She took a note of that. " That's just because he's secretly in love with you."
"What?!" Seiryu didn't know whether to be shocked, astonished, dumbfounded or mortified with what he just heard.
The girl bursted into laughter in response to his reaction, with him realizing he just felt for it.
"Why you..." Seiryu was annoyed that he felt that way. So he turned around and frowned in response.
"Sorry, I couldn't miss that opportunity." She said with a big smile on her face.
"I guess you couldn't." Her smile was so intoxicating that he couldn't help but smile as well.
But then he actually approached her and gently touched her face. "Hey..." She blushed a bit. "Not a good idea."
"Just one..." Seiryu requested as he gently caressed her cheek.
"I thought we agreed to just be friends." The girl reminded him of it as she moved her pretty blue eyes to avoid eye contact with him.
"Actually, we agreed to be just best friends." He corrected her while touching both of cheeks with his hands. "And I just wanna kiss my best friend."
"Then how come you never kissed Sasuke before?" She joked with a smirk as she made eye contact with him once again.
"Because Sasuke Uchiha is my best male friend." He clarified despite knowing that she was joking. "You are my best female friend, Naruko." The girl was Naruko Namikaze, Seiryu's best female friend.
"Damn right I am." She declared proudly with a big smile. Then she closed her eyes and parted her lips forward, clearly accepting his request.
Seiryu smiled and slowly approached his face to press his lips into hers. But before he could, he opened his eyes one last time, because the room suddenly got very hot for some reason. Only to make a very horrified face when he saw someone else standing in the bathroom door. A fair-skinned and slender woman of feminine build with violet eyes, and straight red hair that reached her thighs with shoulder-length strands that framed both sides of her face and a black clip that parts her hair to the left. She was wearing a high-collared, sleeveless blouse under a long, loose-fitting dress with a wristband on her left wrist and standard shinobi sandals.
"Are you gonna kiss me or not?" Naruko was getting impatient, so she opened her eyes, only to completely lose the color of her face when she saw the reflection of the mirror.
A large vein appeared on the woman's head, before her hair began to flow like some type of mystical beast. "So... You make everybody worried for a whole month, and when you finally get back, the first thing you do is try to fool around with my daughter."
"Ahhh..." Both Seiryu and Naruko were paralyzed in fear and they knew if they said anything wrong, it would just make her more angry. "K-k-kushina, I-I can explain..." The woman, of course, was Kushina Namikaze. A very, very distant cousin of his and Naruko's mother.
"Seriously, couldn't you just send a message or something?" Also stepping into the bathroom, was a tall, fair-skinned man with blue eyes and spiky, blond hair, with jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face . He was wearing normal attire consisting of a standard Konoha uniform with two bands on both of his sleeves, a green flak jacket, blue forehead protector, and blue sandals. "You know that I trust your capabilities, but I still worry about you."
"I'm sorry..." Seiryu apologized before he awkwardly removed his hands from Naruko's cheeks. "I was just a little too focused on what I was doing, I really didn't mean to worry anyone." It was true, but the opposite actually happened. "Especially you, Uncle Minato." The man was Minato Namikaze, Kushina's husband , Naruko's father and Seiryu's godfather.
Seiyru stepped away from Naruko and the two noticed something.
"What exactly is that on your chest?" Minato immediately shot a look of concern when he saw the injury on him.
"An accident," He scratched his white hair after saying that. "Small and stupid mistake, but..." Before he could continue however, Kushina approached him.
"You stupid brat," Kushina spoke angrily as she inspected the wound closely. "That is exactly what everyone was worried about!" She was furious, only giving Seiryu a small glimpse of what he will have to deal with when his mother gets back.
Minato sighed and also approached him to check. "I am not a Medical-Nin, but I can tell that doesn't look good at all." His godfather told him.
"Dad, can you just teleport him to the hospital or something?" Naruko requested her father, clearly sharing their concerns over the injury.
"Good idea," Minato spoke. "But..." He signalled the fact that Seiryu was literally wearing nothing but a towel around his waist.
"Sorry, I came here to meet up with you but no one was home, so I went to take a shower." He explained to him. "Then Naruko came into the bathroom while I was inspecting the wound and I didn't have the time to put my clothes back on."
However, saying that only made the two parents give apprehensive looks towards their daughter. With her having a massive sweat drop on the back of her head while giving an angry look towards Seiryu for snitching on her like that. Despite the fact that it was true.
"Come on, let's give him some privacy." Minato told his favorite girls before leading them out of the bathroom.
"Seiryu, I swear that if you try to sneak out, I'm gonna hunt you and that injury on your torso is going to be the least of your worries." Kushina threatened him and it was clear that she was more than willing to follow up on that threat.
"Aaahhh... Yes, ma'am." Besides his mother, Kushina was the only other woman that he had no courage to against it.
Naruko stuck out her tongue to him, clearly still mad at him snitching on her. However, Kushina moved her head towards her daughter, and Naruko widened her eyes in fear. "And you and I need to have a serious talk." She spoke in a calm but downright terrifying voice as she grabbed the back of her daughter's neck.
Minato sighed and touched his face in frustration. "You know, you have blessing, but please try to contain yourself until you two are a little older."
"You should be telling your daughter that, not me." Since Naruko was the aggressive one when it came to this kind of stuff.
"I think Kushina already has that covered." Minato spoke while he left the room.
Leaving Seiryu alone to put his clothes back on.
Once he put his outfit back, his uncle Minato teleported him using the Flying Raijin Jutsu. But instead of taking him to the Konoha Hospital, he took him to Academy at his request.
"Are you sure wanna do this now?" Minato asked his godson.
"I been trying to avoid this all day, but I really just wanna get it over it because I'm tired." Seiryu explained to him, it was already night, and he really just wanted to relax tommorow.
"Good." Minato wrapped his arm around him and walked him towards the entrance. "The soon we get this over with, we can get back and have dinner." He was clearly inviting Seiryu to have dinner with them.
"Yes please, I'm dying for some of Kushina's food." Since her food was beyond delicious.
The two quietly made their way into the academy, entering the place quietly making their way to the Hokage's office. The place was awfully quiet, but it was kind of expected since it was night. In truth, if he had to pick his least favorite place in Konohakagure, that was Academy. He never really knew why though.
After a slow walk, the two arrived at the door of the Hokage's office. However, the moment they reached, they heard some strange shouting coming from inside. Causing the blond man and the white haired boy to look at one another in clear confusion.
"OUT OF MY SIGHT, NOW!" A loud shout that emanated pure fury was heard by the two. It was clear that the voice belonged to the Fourth Hokage. Which clearly surprised the two since he was usually a very calm man.
Eventually, the door opeend, revealing a frail, old man, walking with a cane. He had black, shaggy hair, and his right eye was bandaged. With an x-shaped scar on his chin. He wore a white shirt, with a black or dark grey robe over the top of it covering from his feet, to just over his right shoulder.
The man gave the two a short look before he moved foward, barely acknowledging his presence.
"I hate that guy." Seiryu bluntly told his Minato.
"I don't blame you." Minato clearly wasn't a fan of his either.
"SEIRYU!" Suddenly, someone loudly shouted his name from inside the Hokage's office. Causing the boy to close his eyes for a second before moving his head towards the now open door. "INSIDE NOW!" Accompanied by an order coming from the Hokage.
"Good luck." His godfather patted his back, before Seiryu sighed and entered the Hokage's office.
Once he was inside, he saw the Fourth Hokage standing there with arms crossed in the middle of the large, oval room filled with stacks of unfinished paperwork. "Stand...Right...Here..." He pointed towards the spot on the floor a few steaps away from him.
Seiryu sighed and complied, slowly moving towards the spot where he pointed. Once he reached, he took a good look at the Hokage. He was a tall and handsome man, with hazel eyes and short light-brown hair. He was wearing the official uniform, the customary hat and haori with a red, full-length kimono that is tied using a white sash.
"What do you have to say for yourself?" The Fourth Hokage asked him in a calm voice.

After a very long pause, Seiryu Senju smiled and finally spoke up. "Hi, uncle Nawaki." He spoke with a smile while waving at him.
Well, it came much quicker than I expected, but I'm glad that I was able to put this together so quickly. This officially the reboot of Heir of the Senju Clan 100% written by me. Putting all my original ideas back into the mixture.
I'm sure some of them will be a little controversial, but don't like , don't read it.
Thanks everyone who has been on this ride since the start and I apologize for the sudden change of pace.
As always:
Q AND A:
Don't worry about replying to this bit this is just the stuff I forgot to say
Under his arsenal meant it include thanks to his heritage alone a immense amount of Chakra and flawless control over it
If Sasukes comment is anything to go by glad Seiryu growing up in the leaf will still be very popular with the girls haha
It's no problem.
Partially.
Polar opposite of his father in that regard.
Fair enough on wanting to rewrite of course interested to see where it goes
Of course some changes can already be noted from the preview of the first chapter namely Izumi Uchiha being alive and Itachi being in the village of course screaming the canon Uchiha massacre didn't occur
Saying that it's not to say a massacre didn't occur after all Obito might have blitzed through a good chunk of the clan before getting the hell out of dodge or you know that's the thought that first came to me
If I I might offer some tweaks and suggestions for the rewrite that I hope you like
First doubt even after a attack the Uchiha district would ever become less than habitual neither the surviving clan members or the village leaders would allow that to occur so I hope when the actual chapter is published the district while perhaps quieter than it had been still looks like it did pre massacre
Another tweak I'd make is instead of Seiryu immediately complying with Itachi telling him to sit down have Seiryu either role his eyes or just raise a eye brow before sitting down showing a bit of sass that he would have inherited from Tsunade and being scolded is something that should really just wash over Seiryu like he acknowledges concern for him and is touched by it but yeah scolding doesn't phase him haha
Also in regards to his apparent injuries thinking about it he shouldn't be still injured from whatever was able to hit him because of a few factors one Tsunade would definitely have trained him to be a medic ninja and I'd love it if he was her equal already in that regard and plus his a Senju and not just any Senju one that's a direct descendant or Hashirama a man known for his life force and regeneration and Mito Uzumaki who was namely a dam Uzumaki known for their even more absurd life force and regeneration and on top of that she was the Jinchuriki of Kuruma
All that together logically if you ask me adds up to a scenario where Seiyru shouldn't retain wounds or injuries for long due to his body's Deadpool like healing factor haha and the fact he could use the mystic palm to heal those wounds and what not nigh on instantly to so those bandages the Uchiha find on him well frankly they either shouldn't be there or Seiryu comments he forgot to remove those haha but yeah lingering injuries shouldn't be a thing for him haha
So I feel safe in saying unlike in the first go around instead of being raised outside of Konaha where no one was aware of his existence this version had Seiryu raised by Tsunade in the village and since Sasuke was described as near the same age not the same age as Seiryu is he in this a tad older than the Rookie 9 like this Seiryu was born a year or two earlier making him 14-15 years old ie the age Kushina and Minato where in the Minato chapter
For his abilities well of course he should be a absolute Prodigy being a Senju and the son of two Sannin and all that so a suggestion list for his arsenal
The Super Strength and Medical Ninjutsu of Tsunade
The Jutsu arsenal of Jiraiya and actually be cool to see him use Jutsu used by Kashin Koji to
All five basic Element Releases but his star element is of course Wood Release something he should be known and famous for
A big hope I have to is in terms of Funjutsu he's a master of it to the point his only comparison that could be made is Kushina
Summing Jutsu of course with a contract with the Toads and Slugs ( could have some fun where the Slugs call him young master respectfully and the Toads all call him Boss haha )
The Rasengan to of course heck he could even have already figured out adding a element to it or is in the process of doing so at the start similarly he could be learning to master sage mode to at the start oh and obviously give him the Thunder Sword at the start but yeah he's just a beast of a Ninja in terms of Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, Funjutsu, Kenjutsu etc fully living up to the Senju name of a thousand skills
So since he could be a bit older and stronger hope at the start he's equal to Itachi in power so still crazy strong but he's still got room to grow stronger if he wants to be able to beat Obito comfortably and obviously he would still have to get stronger to fight the likes of Madara and down the line the Otsutsuki but yeah needless to say hope he's a Jonin at the start to
Sensei wise hope instead of the plethora of Sensei's you planned to give him in the original in the rewrite it's streamlined to where only his parents and Kakashi where his Sensei's oh and the toads Ma and Pa of course so parents taught him everything they knew and Kakashi took him on as a apprentice right out of the academy
Glad to see Karin will be in the village from the start to and I'm glad Seiryu being raised in the village means he's immediately friends with a lot of people in particular Sasuke glad they are best friends in this and I imagine Sasuke would be thrilled to have someone like Seiryu declare him his best friend/rival haha so with that and Itachi clearly not going his canon route don't see Sasuke even thinking about ditching the village haha
Also hope in this Kushina is in the village to maybe even preparing to take over from Hiruzen as the Hokage and as for Kuruma one hope he's hole so he wasn't split in half like in canon and his Jinchuriki is either Kushina or Seiryu and if Seiryu hope we got a case where due to Seiryu interacting with him from when he was like four and trying to befriend him since Kuruma does actually like Seiryu he's just all Tsundere about showing it haha but yeah Kushina is alive regardless and is in the village
As for what caused Seiryu to seemingly dart out the village and get his friends all worried I'm going to guess either he ran out and got into a fight with Orochimaru or he went out and found Isobu and got into a fight with it and seemingly "captured" it in reality thought he befriended it after their fight and Seiryu is hiding his new turtle friend away till Isobu decides if he wants to find a Jinchuriki for himself or stay free roaming
Lastly hope Seiryu has been to other villages already and has meet the likes of Fu, the Sand Siblings, Samui, Kurotsuchi etc
I hope you like it.
Nope.
Partially.
Don't worry, it will eventually be fixed.
I like it.
It really shoudn't, that's why everyone is so worried.
He's nearly 14 actually, and yes, he was raised in Konoha. You saw the reason why at the end of the chapter.
Well...
Basically.
Well, you got a glimpse of how close he is with everyone, the rest will be shown in the next chapter.
Yup...
Not as cool unfortnuately.
Yup...
Obrigado pelo capítulo incrível, Autor-San!
De nada.
Err. I feel like we jumped to the middle of the story?
Middle of the chapter actually.
Awesome chapter! Honestly, I understand that you wanted to rewrite this story after your Co-writer actually plagiarized the story. I love how you had Seiryu know Izumi, Itachi, and Sasuke before the Uchiha Massacre. I also love how you wanted Seiryu main weapon to be the Sword of the Thunder God. Will Seiryu still have the Wood Style like before? Will Seiryu's Sage Mode have a chakra shroud like Mitsuki's? These are just suggestions since this is your story and you can write it however you want.
Anyway, awesome chapter and keep up the great work!
Actually... .
I just think it suits him better to have a sword that belonged to the second Hokage.
Yes.
Maybe...
Thanks.
dude, I'm excited for you. Make it your own story how you want to. I'm really looking forward to it.
I'm glad, and I hope you enjoyed.
And to enjoy reading this in what 5 years from today?
sigh... I know I'm being a total ass for bitching to a good damn fanfiction writer who delivers his imagination and ideas for literally free. So you just gonna do what you gonna do.
I'm sure as all of your other stories this will be awesome.
Nope, a week from today. (Dude, my job leaves me very little time for writting, the time it takes to update is not on purpose, trust me.)
Don't worry about it.
Thank you, that means a lot.
