Naruto is not mine
Personal theory project.
The story will change between past and present; Either be noticed by saying it is present or past, or if it is italicized or bolded.
Taking liberties with the story, and not owner of any besides characters.
During a quiet night at Konohagakure, there was a slender tall guy with silvery white hair sitting in the archives within the hokage tower, looking through the books of clan histories.
"I need to find something in here." He muttered to himself quietly, "I remember hearing about them a long time ago." Flipping through the history books slowly, scouring through the details of each page slowly and getting each detail absorbed swiftly.
"Kakashi, what may you be searching for so youthfully?" Spoke another rather tall man with a jumpsuit as green as the leaves and grass that surround them.
"Might Gai, I heard some strange rumors and searching for any leads." Kakashi spoke plainly, browsing through the books.
Finding the section soon after,
Many, Many years ago, Konohagakure still rather new in its creation and it was written about a young girl by the name of Hatake Saiko, and her rather unique experiences and the growth of her own clan, along with the growth of the Inuzuka clan itself.
Hatake Saiko was written as a random white haired girl who existed and helped the Inuzuka clan grow into what they are today, but is also known as one of the few outside of the Inuzuka clan to receive the mark as a inuzuka.
Although the Inuzuka clan was little more than a rather large family that existed, compared to the Uchiha clan or Hyuga clan where they were seen as an actual clan, or even Senju clan where there is only a few of them left now.
Hatake Kakashi looked over the book and the many pages written about this young woman, how through the pages there were blacked out parts or ripped pages missing and that only made his curiosity grow in what happened to his long lost relative, whether he had other relatives or if she was the only family left in Konoha so long ago.
"Heard of these three, Inuzuka Kori, Kizuki or Kin?" Kakashi queried to Gai, who was leaning over the silver haired friend to see the history book more easily and who the names belonged to specifically.
"Youthful friend, maybe we should ask Inuzuka Tsume about her clan history?" Gai asks, looking at the academy picture thoughtfully of the different students; more specifically the three on the ground playing together.
The three playing together showed to be mostly Inuzukas, but one of them was Hatake Saiko and the third Inuzuka was giving a toothy grin standing above their other siblings. Like a type of guardian for the younger two.
Kakashi closed the book and gave a gentle nod, before taking the book to the receptionist and asking to borrow it. He was not sure whether he would need the evidence for Inuzuka Tsume to take the investigation seriously or whether he would be able to actually get more information out of her at all.
The walk through the village with Gai was unusually peaceful, as Kakashi was headed towards the Inuzuka's main house. Gai was either extremely serious or unusually calm, to not demand a challenge right the moment outside the library, if not inside the library they were inside before.
"Okay, Gai, what is making you act so calm?" Kakashi finally asks after an unnerving while of walking beside his friend, who was rather quiet. The quiet was nice to Kakashi, but this was definitely not normal for Gai, and it was a slight concern for what was normal for Might Gai.
"Dear, Youthful friend, I am just as curious about this Hatake Saiko as you." Gai spoke with a voice that was generally quite loud that even when quiet, his voice was surprising to hear suddenly for some people.
Soon arriving at the Inuzuka home, Inuzuka Tsume was playing with her companion Kuromaru, who was rather shaggy from its gray top, and white underbelly, wearing its own eyepatch leaving a lone eye piercing at any who may approach.
"Hatake. Might. What do I owe this visit?" Inuzuka Tsume spoke gruffly, and gave a toothy grin, but it looked a bit stiff in action to where Kakashi wondered if Gai was not the only one who felt his own unease, or intensity on this relative.
"Inuzuka-san, may you have known these three people?" Kakashi queried, showing the old Academy picture of the three Inuzuka kids and the Hatake girl all sitting together, "They were called…"
"I know what they were called Hatake…" Inuzuka Tsume snarled at Kakashi as she stared intensely at the photo. Tsume lightly glared at Hatake kakashi, but remained silent, giving him a small signal to explain carefully.
"I discovered their fourth companion was Hatake Saiko, and am looking into her connection with them… Her connection as a Hatake." Kakashi was at a loss for where to go, and Inuzuka Tsume seems to be the only person who could shed light on this part of Konoha history, especially since it appeared to have happened during a time when The Sannin were still in the academy too, it appears.
Giving a deep, and almost exhausted sigh, Inuzuka Tsume left the yard, gave a small signal for Gai and Kakashi to follow her. Leading them to another part of her clan's home. She was quiet and cautious as she went through the house, which became slowly labyrinthine by its many rooms and halls hidden in the compound downwards, until they came upon a type of history room.
"The three Inuzuka's and Hatake helped make this clan into what it is." She spoke solemnly, as she opened up a large book that seemed to hold the history of the creation of the Inuzuka clan.
Tsume's gaze turned briefly to Hatake Kakashi and Might Gai, and widened the book for the two males to see the story. For a long time ago, there was a strange jutsu put on that almost effected the story visually, letting anyone who read it, see what was happening for the people written about.
"Please wait on questions or whisper as the effect goes on…" Inuzuka Tsume explains
Plan to start Hatake Saiko's tale, along with Inuzuka Kori (Ko- Rhee), Inuzuka Kizuki, Inuzuka Kin.
(I wanted to make a speculation on if Inuzuka clan is an EXTREMELY new Clan – The speculative creation, if Konoha was relatively new too?)
A type of this been in my head for a long time.
