Chapter 2: Avoidable Consequences (3/3)

Seiryu: It all started on a sunny morning about an hour after mama went on her trip with aunt Shizune.

Seiryu Senju was sitting down in a lotus position right under the waterfall of the Senju Estate, wearing nothing but white swimming trunks. Controlling his breathing as the cold and refreshing water fell on him as he attempted to achieve maximum concentration.

He stayed like that for a few minutes. Until he eventually opened his dark eyes and proceeded to lift both of his hands up.

Performing a Snake hand sealwith his left hand and a Boar hand seal with his right hand.

Seiryu: "I was practicing some of the Ninjutsu combinations that grandpa Hiruzen taught me."

Hiruzen: "With your gift for performing single hand seals, it gives you a very unique edge when combining techniques."

Kakashi: "Alongside the fact that I taught almost all the Jutsus that I know, meaning that you might have a thousand or more combinations at your disposal."

"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu" Seiryu performed his favorite Water Release technique, with the water of the small creek moulding into the shape of a dragon. However , as it began to take shape. "Toad Oil Bomb" Seiryu spit it out as a huge mass of extremely sticky oil into the water dragon, mixing the two of them together.

At a rapid speed, Seiryu performed a Tiger hand seal with both hands.

"Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu" With him spitting a powerful flame from his mouth that quickly traveled forward in a straight direction right into the mixture of oil and water that formed the shape of a dragon. The end result was a unique variation of the technique, with a dragon made of flames forming itself in it's place. "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Jutsu"

Konohamaru: Woah! Woah! Woah! You actually did that?!

Naruko: Is that even possible?

Hiruzen: You would be surprised with the unique results that can come when mixing techniques together.

Minato: Still... I'm quite surprised that you were able to use the Toad Oil Bomb.

Seiryu: Gamatatsu taught me.

Naruko: Wait, Gamatatsu taught you?

Seiryu: You were there when he taught me, remember?

Naruko: No, I don't remember.

Sai: It was precisely on the day when you assaulted Chōji Akimichi for eating your plate of ramen.

Naruko: Oh! Now, I remember. (Naruko gives Chōji a furious glare that painfully resembles Kushina's.)

Chōji: (Looks away in fear because Naruko beat him up so bad that he had trouble chewing his food for a whole week.)

Once the dragon made of fire took shape, Seiryu performed a Snake hand seal once again. "Water Style: Water Wall" Where the water surrounding him rose upward to create a wall. Just as the Fire Dragon charged forward right into it, and completely dispersing upon collision.

Not quite what I wanted, but it's close enough. Seiryu thought as he stood up from his sitting spot. Moving away from the waterfall until the spot where he left the towel for him to dry himself. Maybe if I use some Wind Release as well, I could increase the potency of it. As he dried his long hair with the towel, Seiryu picked up his notebook that was identical to the one that his father uses. Though, while his father used to write down ideas for his books, Seiryu uses it to write down techniques.

So he began to write down the details of his Fire Dragon Jutsu, alongside possible improvements or combination ideas for it.

Kakashi: I must say, I actually read that notebook of yours once and I was baffled with the contents of it.

Sasuke: Wait a minute? (Sasuke and everyone moved their heads to look at Kakashi.) He let you read his notebook?

Seiryu: No! (He was surprised as well because he never lets anyone see it.) When the hell did you read my notebook?!

Kakashi: Ummm... Well...

Sai: He took it due to apparently mistaking it for the notebook that belonged to the Toad Sage.

Rin: (Gives Kakashi a very apprehensive look because she was more than aware that he did that to try to get a glimpse of the next Icha Icha book.)

Kakashi: (Sweats a lot in response.)

Naruko: So? So? What did you see in it?

Kakashi: W-well, there was a very interesting technique that resembled the Hyūga Clan's-

Seiryu: (Points at him.) IF YOU SAY ONE MORE WORD, I SWEAR THAT I WILL TELL RIN WHERE YOU HIDE YOUR ICHA ICHA COLLECTION!

Kakashi: Ummm... (Immediately stops talking.)

Rin: Where do you hide your Icha Icha collection? (If it was hidden where she thought it was, he was in serious trouble.)

Guy: Kakashi, you should have more respect for your woman.

Asuma: I literally don't understand the appeal of those damn books.

Hiruzen: Well, there are lots of single man tha-

Asuma: I don't really wanna hear that from you and Kakashi doesn't qualify as a single man anymore.

Sasuke: Can we please go back to the story?

Neji: Wait, what was that about a technique that resembled one from the Hyūga Clan?

Seiryu: Forget about it.

Neji: But-

Seiryu: FORGET IT!

"Hmmm..." Seiryu continued to write down the details of the Fire Dragon Jutsu for almost half an hour. He was sitting down, enjoying the peace and quiet since he was alone at home.

Seiryu: A little off topic, where were you guys that day anyway? (Because he didn't really see anyone that day.)

Haku: I was requested to provide aid to a team that was tasked with an A-Rank mission by the Hokage.

Karin: I was delivering some materials that Tsunade asked me to give Sakura.

Anko: I was having lunch with Kurenai.

As the boy with long hair finished writing down his notes, he moved his head up to look at the waterfall and noticed something strange. "Huh?" There was something on the small creek, right on the spot where he made the water rise in order to put out the dragon made of fire.

Closing his notebook and placing it next to the towel, he decided to go over there and see what it was. It was odd, because Seiryu has been in that spot thousands of times before and he never noticed that. As he got closer, he realized that it seemed to be some kind of scroll holder.

Shizune: A scroll holder?

Tsunade: Inside the creek?

Seiryu: Yeah... I have been in that creek a thousand times and I never saw that there.

Haku: You think someone purposely placed there for you to find?

Seiryu: I don't think so.

Karin: Maybe it was washed up there by the waterfall.

Tsunade: Whatever it was, what exactly was written in it?

"Hmmm..." Seiryu picked up the very old and rusty looking scroll holder and proceeded to bust it open with brute force. What was inside wasn't really a scroll, just a rolled up piece of paper. Upon opening it, he realized that it was some kind of map.

Naruko: A map of what?

Seiryu: I'm getting there.

After finding the mysterious map, Seiryu returned it to his room in order to inspect it better. He was sitting in front of his coffee table sipping a nice cup of iced green tea with honey and lemon. Normally, he would simply dismiss it like it was nothing, but what really caught his attention was the fact that the map was very detailed, visibly the handwork of a very skilled Cartographer. Which begs the question why was that inside of an old scroll holder considering that it was in perfect condition.

"Hmm..." Seiryu drank his iced tea as he observed the map. This is a map of a very specific area, but there is no indication or mention of it in any existing map. That was the detail that peaked his curiosity. But by the coordinates though, I think it is located at... Wait, is this right? Once Seiryu figured out where that map leads to, he realized something. Okay... This is too much of a coincidence, but at the same time, it could be something else entirely.

The boy gulped down his drink and proceeded to think deeply.

Kushina: So instead of actually talking to someone about it first, you simply decided to follow a map that you just randomly found without telling anyone about it?

(Almost all of the adults and some of his friends gave Seiryu very apprehensive looks in response.)

Seiryu: I know that on the surface, it was an incredibly dumb decision but... It actually paid off because I actually got something out of it.

Tsunade: Mind sharing what that is?

Seiryu: Well... It was actually-

Before Seiryu could actually tell everyone what exactly was he found by following that map. He noticed that someone else had entered the room where everyone was listening to his story. It was a man wearing sunglasses, the standard Konoha shinobi outfit, albeit without the flak jacket, and He was also the forehead protector like a bandanna.

"What are you doing here?" Seiryu was quick to speak to him, causing everyone to turn around to look at him. "I didn't invite you."

"Not this perverted loser again..." Naruko was quick to speak as well.

"Go away, Ebisu!" Konohamaru yelled at the man in annoyance.

The man was Ebisu, a Special Jōnin, who specialises in training elite ninja. "My sincerest apologies, but I was ordered to inform both Lady Tsunade Senju and Seiryu Senju that the Hokage is expecting them."

"Is something the matter?" Tsunade asked the man in concern.

"I cannot really say, Lady Tsunade." He was clearly clueless about it.

"Turn around, go back to the Hokage Office and tell my uncle that we are busy right now." Seiryu was really not in the mood to talk to his uncle right now, or ever to be completely honest.

"Umm... Forgive me, but the Hokage said that it was urgent." Ebisu insisted nervously.

"Uncle Nawaki's definition of urgent is the polar opposite of everyone else's, so just leave." Seiryu just shoo the man as he really didn't want to see his uncle.

"Seiryu." Tsunade spoke to her son apprehensively due to his rudeness.

"Didn't he use the word urgent as well when he sent you on that pointless trip?" Seiryu was quick to point that fact out to his mother.

"Ahh... " Tsunade grunted because it was true. "Go back and tell Nawaki that we will meet up with him in an hour."

"Make it two," Seiryu corrected her. "I wanna eat something after finishing up the story."

"Fine, two hours." Tsunade agreed with his request.

"Ehhh... Right away, Lady Tsunade." Ebisu was smart enough not to question his mother's orders and immediately left the room.

"Umm... Are you two certain that you want to keep Nawaki waiting?" Hiruzen spoke right after Ebisu was out of sight. "Maybe it is indeed urgent."

"It's not." Anko was quick to respond to the former Hokage. "Nawaki probably just wanted to chastise Seiryu some more and then complain to Tsunade about it."

"And I can speak for both myself and for mama that neither of us are in the mood for it." Seiryu added as he gently caressed Tonton's head.

"Can we get on with the story?" Hanabi asked.

"Yeah, I wanna know where that map leads to." Konohamaru, who was sitting besides Hanabi, said.

"Okay... But I'm gonna skip ahead a bit because the trip there was very unremarkable." Nothing actually happened during the trip.

Seiryu: Okay, after snuck out of the village, I travelled on foot until I was able to find another means of transportation.

"Hey, kid, wake up." A shirtless man wearing a straw hat spoke to the sleeping boy.

"I wasn't sleeping..." Seiryu spoke in response as he sat up.

Both Seiryu and the man wearing a straw hat were inside of a relatively large rowing boat that belonged to the man. He was roaring the boat from behind while Seiryu laid on the front.

"There it is..." The reason why the man called the boy with white hair was because they were about to arrive at the destination that was located off of the coast of the Land of Fire.

Itachi: You... travelled on a boat?

Izumi: Seiryu, just where exactly were you going?

Seiryu: Just keep listening.

"Leave me in that spot over there..." He pointed into the distance as the man continued rowing towards an island.

"Kid, why exactly are you going to the Land of Whirlpools?" The man asked him.

Kushina: What?!

Karin: You went to the Land of Whirlpools?

Naruko: Oh man! (Naruko was clearly annoyed with that information.) Why didn't you invite me?! I wanted to go there too!

The Land of Whirlpools is where the Uzumaki clan originates from. It no longer exists, having been destroyed by other villages and the rest of the survivors scattered across the world.

Seiryu: The moment I realized where that map led to, I knew that I had to check it out for a very specific reason. (Everyone, except for Shikamaru, looked at him with deep curiosity.) There was a spot marked on the map, and I really wanted to see what it was because of what was written in it.

Tsunade: Seiryu... What exactly was written on the map.

Seiryu: The spot marked on the map said, "Miko Uzumaki's treasure".

(Everyone was immediately surprised by what Seiryu just revealed. Mito Uzumaki was Seiryu's great-grandmother, the wife of Hashirama Senju and the first jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails. The idea that she had a hidden treasure was surprising to say the least.)

"Wow... It's... Ummm... Much larger than I was expecting." Upon arriving at a spot that was basically a beach, Seiryu Senju stepped out of the boat and observed the village where the Uzumaki Clan originated from.

"Everything looks bigger when you're closer to it." The man with the straw hat stated, despite the fact that Seiryu doesn't necessarily agree with it.

"Anyway..." Seiryu reached inside of his pocket and gave the man 5,000 ryō for the trip. "Thank you very much for taking me here."

"Kid..., What exactly are you looking for?" The man asked in curiosity.

"It's a long story, and I'm sure you have better things to do." Seiryu wasn't really in the mood to speak about it, at least not until he got back to the village. "Don't worry about me, I can find my own way back."

"If you say so..." The man adjusted his hat before preparing to turn back.

Seiryu on the other hand , stepped forward and took a good look at the island. All he could see was a considerably small beach and a dense looking forest up ahead. The ruins of Uzushiogakure must be in the center of the island... However, the map is pointed towards an area located on the outskirts of it. Seiryu contemplated where he should go. I mean... I have time so... Why not check the entire place anyway?

That was his decision as he proceeded to step forward in order to explore the Land of Whirlpools.

Kiba: So you basically went on a treasure hunt?

Seiryu: Yeah, but at the same time, I genuinely wanted to explore the ruins of Uzushiogakure .

Karin: Ohh, did you find anything interesting in the ruins?

Seiryu: You could say that... (He scratched his cheek after saying that.)

As soon as Seiryu left the beach and entered the forest, he realized something relatively strange. The air felt relatively strange, it was hot and somewhat dry. Something that didn't make much sense.

"Hmmm..." Causing Seiryu to take a few steps back until he returned to the beach. Being greeted by a nice and fresh breeze from the beach. Before taking the exact amount of steps forward and once again being greeted by the hot air. This heat is definitely coming from somewhere... An unnatural heat that certainly had an unnatural source.

Slowly, Seiryu continued to move forward with his eyes moving around to check his surroundings.

Seiryu: On paper, that island had not been inhabited for a long time, but that didn't exclude the possibility of someone or something living there.

The boy continued to journey through the forest , following the strange heat that was in the air. The forest was considerably dense and the trees were as high as his eyes could see. He contemplated climbing on them, but first, he wanted to see if the path he was taking was going to lead him somewhere.

Unfortunately, he got his answer. "Huh?" As he actually felt a strange tremor, and noticed the trees dropping a considerable amount of leaves.

Lee: Was the island habited by some kind of beast?

Tenten: Uhh... Did you fight it?

Seiryu: Not exactly...
,

Once the tremors began, Seiryu decided to climb on top of one of the high trees, running all the way up using the Tree Climbing Jutsu. As soon as he reached the top, he realized that his suspicion of what was causing that tremor was correct. What is that? From afar, he could see something large moving through the dense forest. But he couldn't take a good look at it. Okay... Normally, I would avoid that but... Seiryu knew that it would probably get in the way of his hunt, so it was better to just confront it right away just in case. I need to take a better look...

Deciding to get a better view of the strange creature, Seiryu decided to jump into another and did it again and again and again until he reached one that was close enough but in a safe distance from it. Luckily, it was just as the mysterious went into an open area that didn't have many trees. "What the hell...?" It was Seiryu's immediate reaction once he saw the thing.

It was a great insect-like creature that resembled a silkworm moth, but it was larger than an elephant. It had saucer-like eyes, a gaping mouth full of sharp teeth, eight legs, enormous wings that seemed to be broken, and a long stinger protruding from the rear of their segmented abdomen.

Shino: You found a Shinchū?!

Seiryu: I was half-expecting for you to actually know what it was.

Shino: It is one of the rarest insects in the world, I cannot believe you actually encountered one.

Seiryu: If it is indeed rare, I'm glad that I didn't actually kill it.

Shino: You did the right thing, while they do have a ferocious appearance, shinchū do not attack humans.

Seiryu: I figured as much, because it actually just moved along and left me alone after it spotted me.

Shino: You said it's wings were broken, it must have been attacked by something.

Seiryu: It was more likely someone, because the wings seemed to have been sliced by some kind of blade.

Shino: Was it still on the island when you left?"

Seiryu: I don't think it could leave even if it wanted to.

Shino: Hmmm... (Seiryu could tell that Shino was probably going to go speak with his clan about it.)

After pretty much getting confirmation that the giant insect wasn't actually dangerous, Seiryu continued his journey through the island. Unfortunately, the night arrived without him even noticing, so he decided to camp and continue in the morning since walking around a forest at night is hardly ever a good idea.

"Wood Style: Four Pillar House Jutsu" So by sending chakra into the ground, converted the roots of the plants into raw materials, allowings him to construct a building by forcing accelerated growth. With a very simplistic house being constructed right in front of him. I better get some rest, then I'll continue searching tomorrow. After entering the empty newly constructed house, Seiryu decided to set up to eat some dinner and go to sleep. Planting several traps around in order to avoid any unnecessary danger.

The next day came quickly enough and Seiryu resumed his search, however, he had just as little success as he did the previous day. Which was considerably odd since that Island wasn't that large, so it was strange that he was having so much difficulty in finding Uzushiogakure.

First, he went to the south, where the beach which he had arrived was located, mostly to check it more closely to make sure that he didn't miss anything.

Second, he went to the east of the island, where he came across the nest of the Shinchū that once again simply ignored him, so simply Seiryu let it be again.

Shino: (Clearly memorized what Seiryu just said.)

Third, he went to the west of the island. There was a strange looking temple that was in ruins that Seiryu spent almost the entire day checking, but found nothing of value there. He did find a few strange trinkets that he decided to keep for himself.

Naruko: What kind of trinkets did you find?

Seiryu: Stuff like talismans but there was nothing really special about them.

Karin: Can I have one then?

Seiryu: Sure, I left them at our home.

Last but certainly not least, Seiryu went to the north of the island. But halfway there, he realized that there was something off. Because as soon as he reached a certain point, the dense and flourished forest changed into a dead and decimated one. "Wow..." Only a few steps of difference, between a fully alive and green forest and a gray and bleak one filled with dead trees. "I guess this is the right path." So he continued to move forward until he actually saw it.

Looking around, Seiryu could tell that an intense fight had occurred there, because that kind of destruction could have only been caused by powerful ninjutsu. More so since each step that he took, the destruction became more and more apparent. Eventually, he reached what appeared to be a landslide.

"There it is..." And right at the end of it, he could see what he was looking for.

The sight was just as bleak and depressing as the dead forest behind him. If this was a lively village once, it was a long time ago. Now all he could see were destroyed buildings, decimated landscapes and an aura of death in that place. The sight bothered Seiryu just as much as the sight of the Uchiha compound. Especially when he remembers that there are few Uzumaki left, even if you include Naruko.

Naruko: Is it really that bad?

Seiryu: Think of the damage that occurred during the Uchiha revolt, plus three.

Mikoto: (Sighed.)

Sasuke: (Held his mother's hand.)

Itachi: (Gently touched his mother's shoulder.)

Izumi: (Gives Seiryu a sad look.)

"Better get started." Seiryu memorized the map, but he really wanted to explore the ruins. So the first thing he did was slide down the landslide to reach the bottom of it.

Upon reaching the ground, Seiryu just looked around, letting his imagination run wild so he could actually imagine what the place looked like before it's total destruction. I wish I could have seen it... Due to Seiryu being connected to the Uzumaki Clan through his great-grandmother, alongside the fact that three very important women in his life were part of that clan.

Karin: (Looked down while blushing at the declaration.)

Naruko: (Scratched her head while trying to hide her own blush.)

Kushina: (Just gave him an affectionate smile.)

Sadly, all that was left were ruins of what was once a beautiful village. But he couldn't help but wonder. Especially when you pay attention to the interesting looking architecture. Konohagakure had a distinctive architecture since most of the village's infrastructure was produced by his great-grandfather's Wood Release, but there are few similarities to the ones he was seeing.

Seiryu walked around the ruins for a few hours, exploring every inch of the village in curiosity. The more he saw, the more unpleasant it became as he considered it a waste. The ninja of Uzushiogakure were famed for their fūinjutsu. In times of war, the power of the village's fūinjutsu earned fear from many, ultimately leading to it being targeted and subsequently destroyed by other villages. A fact that always left a bitter taste in Seiryu's mouth.

Standing in the center of the ruins, Seiryu Senju bowed. Wishing that all of the souls of those whose lives were unjustly ended during the village's destruction rest in peace. After a long silence, the boy decided to continue with his objective, which was to search for his grandmother's treasure.

So he pulled out the map and began his hunt for the treasure. According to the map, which apparently was created when the village was still intact, Seiryu was able to see that the spot that was marked on the map led to a place called, the Room of the Ancient.

Kushina: The Room of the Ancient?

Minato: By your reaction, I can tell you know what that is.

Kushina: It was a secret room where all of the ancient scrolls of Fūinjutsu were kept since the village's foundation.

Naruko: If it was a secret room, how do you know about it?

Kushina: The room's existence was common knowledge, but very few people actually knew it's location.

Tsunade: And apparently my grandmother was one of these few people.

Hiruzen: Mito Uzumaki was exceptional at fūinjutsu, so it isn't really surprising that she is one of the few to know the secret location.

Seiryu: I'm almost certain that she made that map and hid it on the waterfall of the Senju Estate. (Seiryu is almost certain that she hid in a random spot inside of the waterfall and that he finally made the map come out after repeatedly practicing ninjutsu on the waterfall.)

Shizune: But... Why would she hide it?

Seiryu: The location of a secret room that may contain scrolls with more than hundred of years worth of fūinjutsu from a clan that was destroyed because they feared the power of their fūinjutsu.

Hiruzen: I agree, if the location fell on the wrong hands, it might cause a calamity of trouble.

Konohamaru: Why make a map for it then?

Seiryu: Because the room being lost forever would be a shame as well.

It took him a long while to actually find where he was supposed to go. The map was well detailed, but trying to figure out where it was from the map was a real trick due to how damaged and out of place everything was. For example, there was a specific building marked on the map that he found collapsed on the ground and he used it as a frame of reference. Only to later find out that the building was practically four yards away from his original position. Which meant that he practically was searching the wrong spot for several hours. And that continued on for more that he would like to admit.

Sasuke: Are you telling us that the reason why you spend a whole month away is because you couldn't figure out where was what in that map?

Seiryu: Actually, it took me two days.

Hanabi: But, did you actually find it?

Seiryu: Of course I did.

"Okay..." After two long weeks of navigating through the ruins, Seiryu was able to actually make some changes to the map after figuring out where the ruins were. Marking the spots where there was a particular building or street that wasn't there anymore, etc.

Eventually, he was able to read the map clearly and actually follow a proper path towards where it was marked on the map. The destruction was way worse than I thought, I saw ruins before but for this amount of damage to cause the village to become this unrecognizable in comparison to this damn map.

Holding the now altered map, Seiryu decided to follow through in order to finally reach his destination. First, he walked towards a crater that was originally a street, walking at least forty-five steps until he reached a building, a building that was barely visible due to being buried deep into the ground. Jumping over in order to get to the other side, where a pathway that was basically a small pond of dirty water now, that Seiryu walked on using the Walk on Water Technique. After passing through it, he eventually reached a spot that was supposed to be a large wall, but now there was a gigantic gaping hole in it that showed the dark interior of a building that was filled with rocks. Turning to the right, Seiryu walked through an almost intact street, it should be easy enough, but the street was covered with the remains of the people that lived there. Skeletons almost everywhere, some of them were Hanabi and Konohamaru's sizes, which bothered Seiryu beyond belief. After enduring that walk, he eventually reached a stone wall that appeared to be a dead end.

Until Seiryu actually placed his hand one inch away from the wall, and delivered a one inch punch into it, destroying the entire wall completely. Revealing a secret passage right behind the wall.

Seiryu: The map actually had instructions on how to open it but... I kind of ran out of patience at that point.

Right in front of him, it was the entrance that led to the Room of the Ancient. "Alright, let's see what you have for me, great-grandmother." The boy spoke out loud after he stepped inside the room.

Seiryu: I'm gonna be completely honest right now, I was expecting the room to be filled with old scrolls of powerful fūinjutsus, but instead, it was actually filled with... (Seiryu's left eye began to twitch.) WHY DID YOU CAME BACK?!

(Everyone looked back and realized that Ebisu was at the door again.)

Naruko: Go away, you damn pervert!

Kushina: Okay, time out, why do you keep calling him a pervert?

Konohamaru: Because she once caught him spying on her and a few other girls while she was swimming on a lake.

(Kushina and Minato gave the man a death glare in response to what they just heard.)

Ebisu: I-I-I WASN'T SPYING ON HER!

Naruko: But you were definitely spying on the other woman there, so don't play innocent.

Seiryu: Anyway, what the hell do you do?

Ebisu: Fo-forgiveness but... The Hokage insists on speaking with the two of you asap.

Seiryu: The answer is no, go away.

Tsunade: (Sighed) Look, if he is calling us again, then it's probably urgent.

Seiryu: (Sighed) Fine...

Seiryu Senju placed his pet pig down and stood up from the floor.

"Wait, what about the story?!" Naruko was quick to object.

"Yeah, what did you find inside the room?!" Konohamaru was the next one to object.

"Let me just say that it literally took me a whole month to actually reach the room." Seiryu replied while scratching his head.

Everyone immediately looked at Seiryu with dumbfounded expressions.

"Just what exactly did you find after entering through that passage?" His mother was the first one to speak up about that revelation.

"I'm just gonna say, the Uzumaki clan really went overboard with the security of that room." And that was still an understatement.

The facial expression that Seiryu made when he said that really created more questions than answers.

"Can we go, I wanna get this business with uncle Nawaki over and then go grab a bite in Yakiniku Q." Seiryu told his mother, not even trying to hide his discontentment with going to meet up with his uncle.

"You really gonna leave everyone in this cliffhanger?" Sasuke asked, clearly wanting to know just as much as everyone else.

"Blame the Hokage and the pervert over there, not me." Because he was about to tell everyone until Ebisu showed up. "Come on, mama." With that, Seiryu unceremoniously walked towards the exit of the room, leaving everyone curious about what happened next.

...

...

...

...

...

...

"Just kidding..." Before he turned around and smiled at everyone. "I'll finish telling everyone later, now come on, mama." Then he called his mother out again.

"Yeah." Tsunade stood up. "I think I left my luggage at the entrance of the village, could someone pick it up for me?"

"Right away, Lady Tsunade." Haku stood up and bowed to her before moving towards the door.

"And you better get me a new bottle of sake before I get home!" Tsunade was quick to remind Anko that she still owned her.

Anko simply rolled her eyes in response to her sister-in-law's demand.

"Mama, don't yell at auntie. Seiryu was quick to say it. "And can we please just go."

"Fine..." Tsunade finally decided to follow her son, towards the door in order for them to go see what the Fourth Hokage wanted.


Q AND A:

Hope you update soon.

Here we go...

Well I'm curious as to what changes effected this world for so many characters to be kept alive. Nawaki being kage would likely lead to many changes with an additional kage level fighter in the Leaf, considering Kushina and Minato are alive that means no nine tails attack, it was prevented, or a split Kurama situation.

I'm guessing Orochimaru has gone rogue like canon so that explains his lack of appearance, I'm curious about where Jiraiya is and who Seiryu father is. (I'm assuming Jiraiya or Dan). Nawaki stopping Seiryu from making Jonin makes sense, yes he's stronger than most other Jonin if not nearly kage due to wood style but going on unsanctioned missions and Seiryu lack of self care for his injuries and responsibilities are solid reasons to hold him back.

As for Seiryu and the Konoha 12 how old are they? Is this around Part 1 or Shippuden era?

Well, one the major changes that occurred was the Uchiha revolt happening earlier, with most of the Clan being wiped out but with a considerable number of survivors. It won't be revealed which, but it will be signs.

He still went rogue but under different circumstances. Out of the village but he will show up soon. It's Jiraiya (Dan died just like he did in canon, but due to Nawaki being alive and there to give her support, Tsunade wasn't as crushed by his death as she was in canon.) That is pretty much it, Seiryu is a amazing shinobi but he is pretty irresponsible.

Seiryu is nearly 14, and he is the oldest of the Konoha 12. This take place a little while after Part 1.

Have to say as well good story.

Thanks.

For Haku why not have it be a case where Haku is biologically male but identifies as a girl so Haku is a girlfriend of Seiryu like every other girl in the harem.

Eh...

Had a thought alongside one birthday Seiryu got Sasuke the Hawk scroll can another gift that Seiryu got for Sasuke be a Katana and Sasuke uses this Katana as his primary weapon

In relation to what Nawaki wanted the outcome of the Uchiha situation got a little revised guess of what he was wanting out of that whole mess outcome 1 simply the complete destruction of the Uchiha, outcome 2 Shisui takes control or the clan and simply disbands it making the clan members well no longer clan members and just regular citizens of the village and the final outcome he wanted was Shisui taking over the clan and making it very subordinate to the village like to the point where the Uchiha would go the way of the Senju in perhaps throwing themselves head long into danger to defend the village

So of course with the outcome of Shisui dying and the clan staying intact and under Itachi things did not go the way Nawaki intended

Also to throw Nawaki a bit of a bone say back along he fought and defeated Rasa in a fight back before either one became a Kage of course in the third Ninja war and despite their villages being on better terms these days officially Rasa does harbour a slight grudge against Nawaki not a massive one just a slight one but enough of one to count as another reason why Rasa would spot along with Orochimaru plans for the Chunin exam you know up till Orochimaru kills him haha

Oh yeah with Mikoto I hope going forward we see Seiryu openly regard Mikoto as the absolute Milf she is haha and hopefully Mikoto is flattered that Seiryu gives her the same sorta attention and compliments he does the other girls haha

Like say we get a beach episode chapter ( fingers crossed haha ) where it's just Seiryu and a whole bunch of woman in regards to any Milfs present like Kushina for example Seiryu would subtly admire the view of her in a Bikini while with Mikoto he'd openly admire the view of her in her swimsuit like hw would all the other girls in there's haha

As for what the other Uchiha Seiryu is close to would say about Seiryu attention to Mikoto

Itachi - completely unbothered
Izumi - finds it funny and sweet
Sasuke - has flat outside in the event Seiryu some how ( in his mind ) gets with his mother he would do his best to murder Seiryu if he pulled the you can call me dad line haha

Seiryu could also joke a bit about really wanting to be family with Sasuke, Itachi and Izumi haha

Still speaking about Sasuke in regards to the common belief of to unlock the Mangekyou one must kill there best friend and what not when Sasuke hears this or did hear it for the first time he just flat out said no

Honestly when it comes to Sasuke unlocking his MS hope it could come around by Sasuke thinking Seiryu is dead for a split second but it's enough to activate it say Seiryu takes what should be a fatal hit for Sasuke like he gets stabbed in the heart but then Seiryu just casually pulls out whatever stabbed him with a comment of "well pretty sure at this rate only old age is going to do me in ay Sasuke wait a second your eyes have changed" haha

A random thought I had is in regards to aging even with Seiryu gets older can it be remarked that looks younger than his age

As for Tsunade think it be nice to if her current looks aren't a permanently maintained henge or anything Tsunade just looks naturally youthful despite being in her 50s now say when she learnt sage mode to get stronger years ago in this having access to sage power mixed with her Senju and Uzumaki heritage lead to the fact Tsunade just looks naturally a lot younger than she is

But back to Seiryu for example when he himself would hit 50 he still looks like he's in his early thirties and does so for a long time after

Think of that as a sorta trivia question haha

He will indeed gift Sasuke a sword, though, the scroll might be a gift from Itachi instead.

What Nawaki really wanted from it will remain a mystery, but Seiryu does suspects that he really did wanted the full destruction of the clan, which causes yet more antagonism between the two.

You know, that is actually what lead to Seiryu meeting Gaara, Temari and Kankuro.

He usually just does it to tease Sasuke though..

Sadly, it won't be just Seiryu.

Exactly.

He technically already is, though, it would mean officially.

That is literally what is gonna happen.

Unfortunately, how he unlocks the MS will actually be much, much worse than you'll expect.

More or less, though...

I don't know about that but interesting...

Partially.

Haha...

But if Haku is Seiryu's exception to his preference for women as is his submissive fem boy lover in general I don't think that would raise many eyebrows everybody just sees as Haku being another lover of Seiryu haha

Mostly other girls outside of circle of friends. The others are more warded out by the Homoeroticism between the two boys.

Wait so the mc is going to have Haku as a Lover?

Well...

Yeah...

Well...

Well hope Seiryu has at least mild levels of annoyance with Minato for not teaching him flying thunder god.

Guess there's always next time for a chance of a preview of Seiryu enjoying both pussy from the girls and Haku bussy and both the girls and Haku enjoying Seiryu dick and maybe the girls enjoying Haku dick to.

I think it be funny next chapter if instead of a full flash back on what happened Seiryu is just incredibly succinct with what happened.

Pretty much.

Sorry, no preview this time.

There was a flashback but Seiryu left out the most interesting part.

Obrigado pelo capítulo incrível, Autor-San!

De nada...

Awesome chapter! I'm sorry I didn't review this chapter yesterday. I was so tired after helping my family set up dinner for Father's Day that I went straight to bed. I love how you had Tsunade hated going on missions that kept her away from home for a great deal of time amount of time. I also love how you had Tenten ask Seiryu if he took the Kubikiribōchō from one of the Seven Swordsmen. Will Seiryu have Asura's avatar of Kurama's avatar if he is able to use Kunitsukami? Will Seiryu be able to use Wood Style and Water Style like Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju? 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!

She hates leaving the village here.

Tenten has a fascination with the weapons that Seiryu has.

Not quite.

Yes.

I always appreciate suggestions.

Thrilled to have a new chapter

Haha yep Seiryu is definitely a proponent of the idea that if I shall die let it be by being smothered in a pair of breasts haha really enjoyed his interactions with Tsunade this chapter and glad we got a little explanation for why Tsunade and Shizune where out of the village tending to the household of some overly worried noble and liked Seiryu getting to talk to Shizune to and it's cute how affectionate Tonton was with him to

For the scar and the poison again I love the idea that even if Seiryu wasn't taking that antidote treatment because of how absurd his body is it was naturally adapting to the poison and speeding up the recovery anyway in fact with him taking the antidotes now what I hope for is the poison and wound his healed faster than even Rin predicted it would by a large margin

The reactions to the wound where fun to though I'll admit Sasuke not even blinking an eye at said wound was fun in its own way to

While having the ointment applied when Itachi carrying him was brought up and thus how Itachi proposed to Izumi personally would have had Seiryu say "very anticlimactic but very on brand for Itachi haha"

It was fun having every continue to poor into the room will say Asuma was definitely talking shit when he said he'd lend his lighter to burn Kakashi icha icha book he definitely liked reading those books like the other 99% of the male population haha also thinking about it Rin should definitely know Kakashi is always reading those books haha there should just be a don't read those books in the house rule haha

Oh yeah and remember the thing with Asuma and Kurenai is it's not a case of they aren't dating it's a case of they are dating they just haven't told anyone and are keeping it private when in actual fact everyone around them can clearly tell the two have been dating for years

Happy we had Mikoto appearing to oh and with Sai at this point I think it would be fun if Seiryu just sighed and said alright guess helping you shrug off a lot of your Root ingrained habits can be a side project of mine

Oh yeah still don't get why Seiryu and Haku got some looks when they had a little moment again I don't think the people of the Naruto world would really blink at any boy and fem boy interaction haha remember the worlds most popular book series is pure smut the culture isn't a prudish one haha and everyone should know what Seiryu and Haku are like with each other by this point really Haku getting some moments with Seiryu shouldn't be seen as any different from one of the girls having a moment with Seiryu and again considering everyone has known Haku for ages by this point they all know just how intimate his devotion to Seiryu is haha

Also yeah the mental image of Seiryu walking towards a bunch of sound ninja and not even having to say a word for Haku to appear and kill all of them in a blink is way better haha and yeah curious what Seiryu will have to say in regards to Orochimaru

Looking forward to seeing one of Seiryu summons next chapter

I'm also really happy that you liked the idea of Seiryu and Sasuke bromance starting off with Sasuke planning for them to have this great epic serious rivalry before they meet but after their first meeting and becoming instant life long friends Sasuke initial plan just went out the window

Also you know Mikoto would have found Sasukes attitude before and after meeting Seiryu adorable as hell haha and glad you liked the idea that in this Sasuke got the Hawk summons thanks to Seiryu finding the scroll and gifting it to him for a birthday

Oh and with Sasuke I hope he and Seiryu once took a truck out to the Vally of the Ejd to see the statues of Hashirama and Madara and the vally their fight carved into the earth and the two of them made a promise that one day they carve their own mark into the Earth itself not due to them fighting each other but via a combination attack say they've agreed to do it when Seiyru becomes the God of Shinobi and Sasuke is called the Strongest Uchiha beating out the legend of Madara

I'm also glad you seemed to like the idea of Seiryu being a lover of history and having some shreds of knowledge when it comes to Kaguya and having some scraps of knowledge about the earliest days of the Senju and Uchiha clan

I'm glad to hear it.

As you can see, Seiryu has a deep attachment to his mother's chest. He is a prototypical mamma's boy, what you saw is basically what his relationship with his mother is like. To Tsunade's annoyance, since she actually hates going on missions. Tonton is Seiryu's pet actually.

Sadly no, he will have to wait.

Seiryu has a tendency of getting wounded, but due to his rapid healing, he usually just shrug it off.

That would have been pretty funny.

Asuma was indeed talking shit, especially since Hiruzen reads it as well. Well... That is the rule but the hideout of his collection is a direct violation.

That is kind of it, but people kind of tease them about it for keeping it secret.

Kushina and Mikoto are both motherly figures in Seiryu's life. Kind of it, but not right now.

They do, but the vast majority is still a bit weirded out by their closeness at times.

Basically.

Unfortunately, I decided to leave for a different chapter due to pacing reasons.

It was mostly because Seiryu didn't really care and completely ignored him due to being busy playing with Naruko when it happened.

Kind of, yeah...

Something like that happened but due to completely different reasons.

Yeah...

Fantástico!

Estupendo como siempre

Muchas gracias.
