Once a Captain and Hokage but now I'm Sasuke?!
#First Person Monologue#
I remember the day Kami and Yami asked that I Naruto Uzumaki or once known as Mitsuomi Kiriyu to be reborn into a third life with my wife and fellow Shinigami Anko Mitarashi-Uzumaki, I said what the hell but the Goddesses had to have an ironic sense of humor. I was actually reborn into house Uchiha as the second son of Fugaku and Mikoto, meaning I was Fucking Sasuke Uchiha. An emo bitch who I killed after tanking his strongest Jutsu but fuck it I would deal with it and be better than him. The Kyubi incident would happen a few weeks after I was born with the same song and dance but the Yondaime sealed the fox into his twins at the cost of his wife Kushina or truthfully the fox was sealed in his daughter Naruko.
The noble yondaime explained things but the naive sheeple of konoha would believe naruko was the fox reborn but for some reason her twin Boruto was some hero for not holding Kurama. Another was my clan being moved to the outskirts of the village and being blamed under their collective breath for the rampage. A stranger thing was Itachi as he was very distant with me and looked at me as if he knew something was off about me. I met naruko when I was about six going on seven during a kyubi festival as a few adults were trying to harm her. I broke one guy's leg with a kick and beat up the other adults before the uchiha police arrived.
#Konohagakure - Kyubi Festival - Sasuke Age: Six#
Sasuke follows behind his mother as people were in full swing for the festival, "Do you want something sweet Sasuke" mikoto says, wearing a dark kimono with flowers on it.
"I guess Mom but can I explore" sasuke says, wearing white shorts and a dark blue hoodie. He could see a few people whispering about them but none having a set to do anything or say it to their face.
"Don't go too far Ok" mikoto says and sasuke nods, heading off into the crowd. Sasuke moves through the crowds getting some sweet buns or dango from the various stalls but a sight catches his attention as a few people were harassing a little blonde.
"It has to be her" sasuke thought, finishing his food quickly.
"L-leave me alone" the little blonde says, fear in her ocean-blue eyes and her little body trembling.
"Shut up Demon!" one of them says, his face contorted in a snarl. One makes a grab for the little blonde but another sees sasuke, "Look the Demon summoned one of her Uchiha minions" he says, a sneer on his face. Sasuke stares at the men before shifting his eyes towards the little blonde that has tears in her eyes, "Grown men picking on a child... How Pathetic" sasuke says, his voice calm but sharp and looks of anger erupt on the men's faces.
"You little brat!" one snaps, his face contorted with rage as he lunges at sasuke. But sasuke is ready as his body moves with a grace that belies his young age. He swiftly pivots and his foot connects with the man's leg with shocking precision and force but there is a sickening crack that echoes through the alley.
"Ahhh!" the man screams, falling on the ground with leg bent at an odd angle. He writhes on the ground and clutching his shattered leg.
"Get him!" the ringleader shouts, his voice thick with fury and a hint of fear. Sasuke uses his smaller stature to his advantage with his attacks precise and brutal, striking at vulnerable points. Knees buckling under well-placed kicks, groins meeting painful jabs. The blonde girl watches in wide-eyed amazement, her fear momentarily forgotten as she witnesses this display of skill. Once finished sasuke approaches the blonde and extends his hand, "Are you Alright..." he says, his voice gentle and firm.
"N-naruko Uzumaki" the blonde says, her blue eyes still wide with a mix of awe and lingering fear.
"She's using Mom's name instead of His" sasuke thought, filing away this curious detail for later consideration.
"Sasuke Uchiha.. Come on let's not be here when the Police force get here" sasuke says, leading naruko out the alley.
"Thank you for helping me" naruko says, her voice thick with gratitude.
"Not a Problem" sasuke says, his casual tone belying the intensity of what has just transpired. He steers them towards a familiar ramen shop with the aroma of broth and noodles growing stronger as they approach.
"Naruko?!" a young girl sasuke recognizes as Ayame says, as they enter the shop.
"Hey Ayame.. This is Sasuke" naruko says, some of the tension leaving her shoulders in this familiar environment and gesturing to her companion.
"Made a new friend on your birthday" ayame's dad Teuchi says and naruko nods. They would eat a few bowls of ramen and sasuke would learn about her life, how her father lavished things on brother and she got nothing. How the village praised his existence and cursed hers, something that pissed sasuke off with boruto showing up.
"There you are Baka" boruto says, walking in the shop like he owns the place. Sasuke glances to see the blond and he definitely resembles the hokage. Boruto didn't give his sister a chance to introduce sasuke and berates her which leads to sasuke breaking his nose.
#First Person Monologue Again#
My father, brother and hokage lectured me for breaking boruto's nose while making me apologize but my mother and naruko were happy. I started bringing naruko to the uchiha district, something my mother was happy about as she got to see her best friend's daughter and often joked we looked like a cute couple. It would sort of be like selfcest as naruko is the me of this universe but I didn't rule it out.
For my seventh birthday I became a proper uchiha by performing the fireball ritual and allowed to wear the clan's fan but also begin training in clan techniques. Fugaku was more concerned with itachi due to him being such a prodigy and that worked to my favor. It was around this time I would meet anko and she laughed for a solid half hour about me being sasuke. I learned anko was ten years older than me and went through even worst shit with Pedomaru but she endured. She helped me reawaken my reiatsu and by extension Zetsuei, also helping me in applying seals to increase my reserves.
Speaking of zetsuei her base form looked like a guard-less chokuto with a dragon design stamped on the hilt. She was so happy to see me again but like anko laughed that I was sasuke. I hit the ground running to train my ass off and prepare for the shitstorm to come as dear daddy and the clan were planning for a coup, while itachi played snitch but also meeting Tobi on the side as well. I unlocked my Sharingan at the time but kept it hidden from itachi and fugaku, even my mother didn't know. I used it to memorize quite few things from the uchiha library but also the Sacred Scroll of Sealing.
I entered the academy at the age of ten like all students and would be here for the next six years. It was actually a place that would prepare konoha's ninja for the future but favoritism for the hokage's son and sabotage for his daughter occurred. However naruko would have me to help her, even my mother helping behind dear daddy and itachi's back. Boruto tried to show me up or have his flunkies do it but a few more broken noses kept him at length from me. The usual suspects were here of Kiba and Akamaru, Hinata, Ino, Sakura, Shino, Shikamaru, Choji, new additions of Shinobu Kocho and Yugao Uzuki. Hinata was a shy mouse who followed boruto like lost puppy and that hurt, also ino and sakura seemed to swap personalities as the blonde was very smart with the pinkette being very shallow. Sakura also seemed to follow boruto around like she did sasuke in my previous life.
The issues between the village and the uchiha continued to fester until the village decided to be done with the uchiha or keep some namely me and my mother. I was eleven and it started with the death of Shisui who was a goofy uncle to me and taught me few things. Danzo was the culprit as the old crone and yes you heard that, old crone wanted shisui's Sharingan and got one but mysteriously the old bat lost it. So the stage was set for the coup as itachi, the hidden tobi and Ne operatives would commit the genocide of the uchiha behind the hokage's back or some believe.
シーンブレイク
Sasuke leaves ichiraku and makes his way back to his clan's district, "Naruko is endlessly optimistic" zetsuei says, a hint of fondness in her observation. The former captain and hokage mentally nods, "She's like the Sun.. Though one could go blind if staring at her too long" sasuke thought, as the villagers give him a few looks. The village by large were cordial to a point with his clan but the higher-ups were apathetic at best. Years of mistrust and the machinations of certain old crones have seen to that.
"It should be happening soon" zetsuei says, her voice is somber now and a stark contrast to its earlier lightness.
"Yeah and I need to play my part.. How broody should I be.. Batman levels or maybe Hei or Hiei" sasuke says and zetsuei giggles, "I should at least prevent Mom's death" he thought, soon reaching the district. The usual bustle of the clan's streets is eerily absent and replaced by an unnatural stillness. An ominous air is about as he steps in and his eyes narrow, "Yami.. Release your seals and Begin" sasuke says with his voice low, seeing the first body and his shadow flickers. He races home as more bodies lay in the streets and as a founding clan, once proud and powerful, were being wiped out due to the foolish decisions of those in power.
"Should we go after Tobi" zetsuei says, a hint of urgency in her tone.
"Not at the moment.. I'm still too young" sasuke thought while rushing through the eerie streets, reaching his house and rushing to find his mother. He slides open the door to his mother on her knees and his brother looming over her with their father already dead, "B-brother.. W-what you doing?!" sasuke says, infusing his voice with the shock and fear of a child who doesn't understand what's happening. Itachi stares at his little brother with his Sharingan glowing in the shadows, "Foolish little brother" itachi says, as his eyes shift into its Mangekyo form of three spiraling curves around the pupil.
"Tsukuyomi" itachi says and sasuke gasps as he witnesses his clan's slaughter over and over for three days straight but only seconds pass. Sasuke falls to his knees and vomits up his ramen as itachi raises his sword, "Now bare witness our Mother's death" itachi declares, his voice cold and detached.
"Shit this did more damage than I thought" sasuke thought, staggering up as time seems to slow. The tanto pierces mikoto's back and nicks her heart as sasuke crashes into itachi but both boys vanish while a clone pops to life and catches her. Itachi gasps as they were now on the street, "It seems my assumption were correct" he says, a hint of curiosity creeping into his tone.
"I could care less about your assumptions.. Why slaughter the Clan?!" sasuke shouts, dropping all pretenses and bringing out zetsuei as itachi's eyes narrow.
"You've been keeping things from me Little brother" itachi says with his voice calm, gripping his bloodstained tanto tighter. The moonlight glints off the blade and casting eerie shadows across his face. The brothers stare at one another as the clouds move lazily across the moon, "You asked me why I destroyed the clan... It was to Simply test myself.. They failed and I killed them" itachi says, his lips curling into a mirthless smile. Sasuke rushes forward and draws zetsuei with a wide swing but itachi parries and counters to slash open his brother's left shoulder. However grunts in pain as sasuke's sheath cracks his side and causes him to stagger back, "Did he take that blow deliberately" itachi thought, reassessing his younger brother capabilities.
"To test yourself.. You slaughtered everyone.. Even Izumi?!" sasuke says, blood seeping from his wound.
"Even Izumi.. I even killed Shisui to attain these eyes" itachi says, referring to his Mangekyo that swirls ominously.
"What?!" sasuke says, disbelief coloring his tone. He goes for a side-sweeping strike but itachi parries once again, their blades clashing with a metallic ring.
"To attain the Mangekyo Sharingan.. One must kill their best friend or witness their death" itachi says with no emotion, slashing sasuke across the cheek. He staggers back with blood running down his face as itachi locks eyes with him, "Even you in the future will kill your best friend.. Perhaps I can return and kill the Hokage's daughter for you if you can't.. You seem quite fond of her" itachi says, his voice laced with certainty. Suddenly sasuke bolts forward with a speed shocking his older brother, putting him on the back foot but itachi's eyes widen as sasuke has his Sharingan with three tomoes.
"Impossible?!" itachi thought, deflecting his brother's increasingly rapid strikes. The clash of their blades echoes through the empty streets, a deadly dance illuminated by the pale moonlight.
"Hinokami Kagura!" sasuke shouts, suddenly and itachi's eyes widen in surprise as zetsuei catches fire. The fiery blade illuminates the night and casting long shadows across the blood-stained streets of the uchiha district.
"How could he know the Hinokami Kagura?!... Unless?!..." itachi thought but cries out as sasuke slashes through his guard and Anbu armor to burn his chest. The soon to be kin-slayer glares at his young brother while clutching his wound but a swirling distortion forms into a person with a mask having black flames on it and a single eye-hole.
"Having trouble with your little brother Itachi" the figure says, his voice powerful and almost mocking. Itachi clutches his chest with his eyes going back to a normal Sharingan, "He's more dangerous than I thought" he says, his voice tight with pain and surprise.
"No matter.. I agreed to spare him but seeing he has a fully developed Sharingan... Perhaps not" the figure says, his tone casual yet threatening.
"No Madara.. We had a deal" itachi says with urgent but sharp tone, shocking sasuke on the surface but he shoots forward with zetsuei burning more intense.
"Foolish Boy" madara says, a smirk behind his mask. Sasuke phases through madara with his flaming sword and itachi kicks him hard into a wall before he could counter swing, "Hate me Sasuke.. Curse me.. Then one day when you have the same eyes as me.. We'll do battle" itachi says, as madara grabs him and both vanish.
"Now he knows you know the Hinokami Kagura" zetsuei says, a mix of concern but also pride.
"And now he'll have a permanent scar from it" sasuke thought with a grim smile, dispelling zetsuei and beginning the final phase. He receives the memories of his clones and most of the clan who possessed the Sharingan were outfitted with a seal to destroy their eyes but madara or obito got a few. However the worst is that mikoto didn't survive her wounds and this sends pain through sasuke's eyes with bitter tears of scarlet.

The hokage, elders and Anbu would find sasuke among his massacred clan, bringing him to the hospital and preparing to deal with the bodies but also preparing to announce the horrific event to the village. Danzo would indeed try to steal some of the Sharingan but failed as each time she tried the eyes were destroyed in the process. Sasuke's clones would safely remove his mother's eyes and replace them before danzo attempted things. The village would learn from the hokage about the newly dubbed uchiha massacre and itachi regarded as an S-class missing-nin. Sasuke would listen to the hokage fret over him and plan to coddle him to make him loyal but also activate the CRA once he graduates from the academy. Sasuke would pretend to awaken three days later to a village ready to get on his good side.
"Well you don't have to kill anyone to gain the Mangekyo" zetsuei says, her voice echoing in her mind. Sasuke rubs his eyes with a sigh and looks out the window to the night sky but senses someone, "Have you been here long" he says, snapping his fingers. Anko Mitarashi appears from thin air with her violet hair in fanned ponytail and her brown eyes filled with concern. She wears a thin bodystocking with jean short-shorts, a low-cut corset vest and dark trench-coat.
"I only watched you sleep a few times" anko says and pulls his head into her ample chest, "Sorry about your Mom" she adds, her usual bravado softening and her voice gentle.
"I secretly sent Tsuchi to the Funeral and it was interesting.. The same people who were weary of us.. Are now weeping for us" sasuke says softly and his voice tinged with bitterness.
"True.. The people of Konoha are so two-faced.. Save a few.. Naru-chan came each day" anko says with a slight sneer on her face.
"She's a ball of sunshine.. Her brother and father though not so much" sasuke says with a smile concerning naruko but his face darkens on the rest of her family and anko snorts.
"So what happens now" anko asks, after a moment of contemplative silence. Sasuke opens his eyes shows his new Mangekyo in the form of three intersecting ellipses to anko's shock, "Losing my Mother was the cause" he says and sighs, "She had it too and told me replace my eyes with hers to gain the Eternal Mangekyo once I start to go blind" he adds, his voice thick with emotion.
"So Itachi could want your eyes" anko says, her voice barely above a whisper and sasuke nods.
"For now I'll be training even harder and prepare to face Itachi.. Tobi.. Pein and those after that" sasuke says and looks into anko's eyes, "The Hokage will want the CRA" he adds, his tone neutral and calm.
"So we'll become public once you graduate.. Since you'll be Konoha's Tragic Hero.. Though choosing the Ultra Sexy and Older Anko Mitarashi will be looked upon with horror but they'll see me as a Baby Factory for more Uchiha" anko says, a mischievous smile on her face and leaning closer.
"Anyone who says it will feel my wrath" sasuke says, his voice low but intense and anko smirks. He would be released the next day after the hokage came to give platitudes and lip-service but it would be a week before he would be allowed to return to the district. Naruko would come see him each day at the hotel provided by a civilian council member, attempting to cheer him up and he was grateful for it. Once back in the district did his training ramp up but had to deal with elders, civilian council members and villagers beginning to try and butter him up. It was worse at the academy as fangirls tried to weasel their way into his good graces, chief among them sakura.
Teachers tried to curry his favor like they did for boruto, something that pissed off the blond namikaze and would make them rivals for life. However this was one-sided as sasuke didn't worry about boruto but stuck close to naruko as the blonde was real with her feelings the same with ino, shinobu and yugao. This would make them a small clique to the horror of the fangirls and boruto but also the elders. However they didn't push too far as not to upset their last uchiha but impressed on various girls to unseat him from naruko, ino, shinobu and yugao.
Sasuke maintained cordial approach to people and was somewhat taciturn to them but with his clique would show genuine looks. Time would pass and eventually each of the clique would confess their feelings for him. To show his trust in them revealed his origins, anko but also his eyes, something that would raise the ire of a certain fox but meeting sasuke quelled things. Time soon came for graduation and the beginning of sasuke's journey to avenge his mother but to be the strongest.
#Konohagakure - Seventeen Years Post Kyubi Attack#
Sasuke yawns loudly in the master bedroom and once his parents' room but completely changed to suit his needs in the future. The futon replaced with a large bed able to fit five easily, a long table with large TV and bookshelf. He heads to the bathroom and does his morning business, "The people of Konoha are truly two-faced" zetsuei says, as sasuke heads for his closet.
"You're right.. In one breath they want to do Everything to help me.. However in the other they want to do everything to Not help Naru" sasuke thought, running his fingers through his hair.
"Which is why she has Anko.. Ino.. Shinobu and Yugao" zetsuei says and sasuke smiles, genuinely happy for the small group of friends. They have have managed to cultivate a tight group amidst the sea of sycophants and opportunists. Sasuke starts to get dressed for the genin exams and rookie of the year to the constant protests of boruto, kiba and some teachers. He dresses in black running tights with fitted gray cargo shorts, a gray long sleeve shirt with a six-arm asura on the back and a sleeveless jacket with a hood. He makes a hearty breakfast of grilled fish, steamed rice and miso soup while creating some clones to tend to the chickens but also the garden.
"Bond.. I'm leaving" sasuke says, his voice echoing. The heavy sound of feet echo and a dog large in stature appears having a long coat, and snout resembling a Great Pyrenees with fluffy white fur and black paws, his eyes are small and dark, with small ears drooping down.
"Borf" bond barks, as sasuke rubs his head affectionately and the large dog tail's wags.
"I bet the Hokage calls you in and tells you about the CRA.. The moment you have your Hitai-ate" zetsuei says and sasuke snorts. He grabs his high-top shoes and heads out towards the village proper, taking to the roofs towards the academy at the base of hokage mountain. A few members of the civilian council attempted to persuade him to sell the uchiha lands to the village but sasuke's price was too rich for them and they didn't want to piss him off. He reaches the academy with the hokage tower adjacent and hears the whispers but also squeals from fangirls who would fail today.
"Even though the subject matter is more advanced.. Fangirls still exist" sasuke thought, hearing squeals of boruto or sasuke.
"Ready to lose to me Sasuke!" boruto shouts with his hands on his hips. He has spiky, blond hair, blue eyes and well-built frame, his hairstyle resembling a leaf with his ahoge serving as the stem. He wears a black tracksuit that has dark pink stripes on the jacket and black sandals, a white T-shirt and a lightning bolt chain around his neck glints in the light as his moves.
"Has that happened yet" sasuke says with amusement in his tone, holding up his fist and boruto covers his nose instinctively. He turns on his heels as boruto glares but a blur moves passes and crashes into sasuke, "Che.. The trash is here" boruto whispers under his breath.
"Sasuke" a chirpy voice says in the form of naruko and her face beaming.
"Why do you Always crash into me" sasuke says, regaining his balance.
"Because you're my best friend" naruko says with a smile, her blonde hair short and wavy. She wears a black and orange lined lace-up corset with four buckles hanging loose over a mesh sleeveless top, and a white low cut long-sleeve blouse. Black short-shorts with white stockings, knee-high steel-toe boots having orange soles and heels, lastly elbow length fingerless gloves.
"I know but we're graduating today" sasuke says, ruffling her hair affectionately. Naruko's eyes widen with a blush creeping across her cheeks as she looks up at him, "Then can I be your girlfriend when we graduate" she says, her voice a mix of hope and nervousness. Several girls nearby shoot venomous glares in her direction but naruko seems oblivious to their hostility.
"One of Five you know" sasuke whispers, his voice dropping low as he leans in close and naruko puffs her cheeks in a pout.
"I know" naruko says, her voice a mix of resignation and determination. The pair head up to the second floor to their classroom with a large blackboard and several rows of seats going up. Students were milling about and the pair see their little clique of ino, shinobu and yugao sitting on the highest row as sasuke nudges naruko.
"Ara-ara.. Sasuke.. Naru-chan.. Hello" shinobu says with a soft smile. She is petite with large, compound-like eyes that lack pupils, only a haze of gradient purple making her eyes appear similar to that of insects. She has wavy black hair that fades to dark purple, styled in a flat yakai-maki bun, center-split, ear-length, voluminous curtain bangs that flow down to frame the sides of her face, with two slightly thinner chin-length locks of hair in front of her ears below them.
"Hey" yugao says, her tone casual and welcoming. She has long purple hair in a high ponytail and warm brown eyes, wearing a dark purple sleeveless leotard with dark gray low riding cargo pants. A white tail-coat with two tails having a crossed swords design on the back and combat boots having dark purple strings.
"Hello" ino says, her long blonde hair in a high ponytail and bangs covering her right eye and glasses as she pushes them up. She wears a black, buttoned vest with coattails and a white, sleeveless, high neck, crop undershirt and black shorts with a zipper on the front of each leg. She also wears black low-heel boots and stockings with a color gradation from black to purple, black arm sleeves have a purple line wrapping around the length.
"You did fed Bond before you left Sasuke" shinobu asks, her voice soft and melodious. She wears a knee-length strapless dress with faint color gradation from turquoise, pink and pale blue at the hem, fishnet arm wear and low-cut corset vest over the dress. Black fishnet stockings and calf-length boots having butterfly designs.
"I did" sasuke says with a nod and taking a seat. Soon all the students were in class as their teacher Iruka Umino enters with another teacher named Sasame. Iruka gives a boring speech and sasame passes out the tests while sasuke glances to naruko as the blonde seems determined as were ino, shinobu and yugao. The genin hopefuls start the test and sasuke breezes through as does ino as this raises the ire of boruto and sakura. Naruko soon finishes and feels hopeful along with shinobu and yugao. After another forty-five minutes all the tests were finished.
"Alright.. Follow Iruka-sensei outside from the Accuracy test" sasame said, clapping her hands to get their attention. Sasuke and his clique follow the others outside to ten dummies in a row and a long table with kunai and shuriken prepared for them.
"For the Accuracy test.. You must get at least five on both to pass to the final tests" iruka explains, his voice carrying across the training ground.
"Will you get a perfect score Sasuke" shinobu says, a teasing smile on her face and her eyes twinkling with mischief.
"That is the goal" sasuke says simply and shinobu giggles softly.
"How about whoever does the best gets a Kiss on the cheek from Sasuke" ino suggests, adjusting her glasses with a sly grin. Sasuke sighs as this fires up the three other girls as the test begins in order of their last names. All the clan kids were getting high scores with shinobu getting eight to start, "Haha Beat that Teme!" kiba boasts, after his turn of seven but boruto outshines him with nine. Naruko would be the next of the group but got eight like shinobu, same with yugao to ino's amusement.
"Good luck Sasuke-kun" several fangirls cry, as boruto and kiba glare at him.
"Mendokusei.. Why don't those girls realize Sasuke won't ever reciprocate their feelings" shikamaru says, as choji eats chips. Sasuke does his shuriken first and gets a perfect score as the fangirls cheer but everyone eyes widen as sasuke throws his kunai with enough force to completely destroy one of the dummies, splinters flying in all directions. A hush falls over the crowd and everyone's eyes were wide with amazement.
"Way to stun the field" ino says with a small smirk but sasuke shrugs. Naruko, shinobu and yugao would glare daggers at the platinum blonde as she gets a nine on her scores and with it a kiss from sasuke.
"Unfair" naruko crows, her voice a mix of frustration and jealousy. She crosses her arms with her cheeks puffing out in a pout that would be adorable if not for the fire in her eyes. Ino remains unfazed by naruko's outburst with a sly smile on her face, "Fair.. I was Last among us.. So I simply needed to do better than all of you" ino says, tapping her cheek and a teasing glint in her eyes. Sasuke gently grasps ino's chin between his fingers and turns her head, "Then.. Thanks for the food" he coos, his voice low and playful. Sasuke leans in and places a soft kiss on ino's cheek as the effect is immediate. Ino's face flushes a deep red and she lets out a small squeak of surprise. Steam seems to rise from her ears as she stands there, momentarily stunned by sasuke's bold move. The other girls watch this display with a mix of emotions as shinobu's eyes widen slightly, a faint blush coloring her cheeks. Yugao tries to maintain her cool facade but there's a hint of jealousy in her eyes and naruko is far less subtle in her reaction.
"No fair!" naruko repeats, her voice rising in pitch. She launches herself at sasuke with her small fists pummeling his back in a flurry of mock punches. Despite her frustration, there's no real force behind her attacks, just the playful indignation of a close friend. Sasuke realizes he might have sparked a bit more drama than he intended, decides to diffuse the situation. He turns to face the group and gently catches naruko's wrists to stop her assault, "How about this.. You all pass and you'll get the same" sasuke says, his voice calm and reasonable. His words have an immediate effect on the girls. They exchange glances with a mixture of excitement and determination sparking in their eyes. The prospect of earning a kiss from sasuke seems to light a fire under them, renewing their focus on the upcoming tests. Naruko's pout transforms into a wide grin with her earlier frustration forgotten in the face of this new challenge, "You're on!" she declares, pumping her fist in the air. Shinobu giggles softly with her eyes twinkling in amusement and anticipation, "Ara-ara.. Sasuke... You certainly know how to motivate us" she says, her voice melodious and teasing. Yugao tries to maintain her cool demeanor but there's a newfound determination in her stance, "We'll hold you to that Sasuke" she says, a hint of a smile tugging at her lips.
シーンブレイク
In the hokage tower minato, numerous jonin, clan heads and elders were watching the exams through his crystal ball. The room buzzed with hushed conversations as they watched the graduation exams unfold. Many were still reeling from sasuke's display of power with his kunai and the shattered dummy replaying in their minds, "Becoming a Genin is simply a forgone conclusion" Asuma Sarutobi says with a long drag from his cigarette and an exhale.
"I agree" anko says but sees Inoichi Yamanaka getting upset at sasuke's kiss on his daughter. The protective father's hands clench at his sides and his jaw tightening visibly.
"All the children from the clans should pass with a few civilian standouts" danzo says with her voice cutting through the whispers, gripping her cane and a hidden scowl on her face.
"The question now is who will get him" Kurenai Yuhi says, scenarios running through her red eyes as the potential of having such a prodigy on her team is both exciting and daunting.
"He'll need to be monitored in case he like his Brother" danzo says, her implication hanging heavy in the air and reminding everyone of the tragedy that has befallen the uchiha clan.
"I think he's proven he's not like Itachi by his actions and the friends he's made" Shikaku Nara says, his tone lazy but sharp.
"The Kid is strong.. However push him too hard and he'll snap like his brother" Tsume Inuzuka says, her feral features twisted in a mix of concern and admiration.
"He shouldn't be coddled either.. He's the Last Uchiha.. We need to strike a balance of nurturing his talents and not overwhelming him" Choza Akimichi comments, while nodding thoughtfully.
"Kakashi should teach him once his Sharingan manifests" Homura Mitokado says, his voice carrying the weight of years of experience and his wizened face creased with concern.
"I agree" Koharu Utatane adds, her sharp eyes scanning the room for any signs of disagreement.
"Sasuke has already manifested his Sharingan.. He chose to reveal it to me when we play Chess together.. Kakashi would be a good choice but Sasuke doesn't need him" hiruzen says, shocking many in the room but none more so danzo.
"Then the Sharingan is not out of my grasp" danzo thought, careful to keep her face neutral and calm.
"If that is the case the CRA should be activated on him" Hiashi Hyuga says, thinking of his oldest but she was enraptured by the hokage's son and perhaps using his youngest to further the hyuga name. Minato raises a hand and silences the murmurs that have begun to spread through the room, "I have decided on such already.. Lord Sarutobi is correct Kakashi would be a good choice for Sasuke but I want him teaching my son.. For now I'll decide once the exams are finished" minato says, his tone firm but not unkind. The hokage's words left no room for argument but the tension in the room remains palpable. The future of the last uchiha is a matter of great importance and it was clear that the decision would not be made lightly.

"I want to challenge Sasuke for the Taijutsu test!" boruto shouts, his blue eyes blazing with determination as he points at sasuke.
"Me too!" kiba chimes in, his fangs bared in a competitive grin.
"Is that Truly what you wish to do.. Normally a teacher would be chosen" iruka says, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
"I want Sasuke" boruto insists, his glare intensifying as he locks eyes with the uchiha prodigy.
"Same here" kiba adds, cracking his knuckles in anticipation. Iruka looks to sasuke and back to both boys, "This will effect your grade" iruka says but both said don't care, "Sasuke" iruka adds, his expression torn. Sasuke slicks back his hair to tie it up and reveal the shaven sides of his head, "It's fine" he says with his tone calm and collected as iruka sighs.
"Alright.. The matches will be Full-contact with No Jutsu.. No Ninken and One on One" iruka says and kiba tsks, so does boruto but both agree. Sasuke stretches and points to kiba but also boruto then to himself finally pointing up and making a circle, slamming his fist into his hand as he shifts into a loose stance. Kiba wastes no time and lunges forward in a low tackle but sasuke connects with uppercut to his chin as kiba pushes through, grabbing sasuke with a wide grin and attempts to toss him. However sasuke doesn't budge and kiba's eyes bulge as sasuke knees him in the gut making him let go, only for kiba to eat a black mass kick to the face and knocking him out.
"Winner Sasuke" iruka declares, his voice a mix of awe and concern. Boruto clenches his left fist but marches towards the sparring ground as teachers help kiba off, "I won't lose like him" boruto says, his eyes never leaving sasuke.
"Get him Boruto-kun!" sakura shouts, her green eyes sparkling. Hinata is standing nearby and clasping her hands together nervously, "G-good luck Boruto-kun" she says, her voice barely above shouts of other fangirls. Boruto stares sasuke down and rushes forward with a rapid six-piece combo but sasuke blocks and boruto dodges the counter-punch, transitioning into a smooth five-piece combo. Both boys weave and dodge punches from the other adding kicks, knees, elbows but boruto wasn't getting through sasuke's defenses.
"Get him Boruto-kun!" his fangirls rave, their voices blending into a cacophony of encouragement. Just as boruto thought he might be gaining an advantage does sasuke's fist connect with his face as his head snaps back and he staggers while momentarily dazed. Boruto quickly regains his footing and shakes off the blow but his foes seizes an opportunity. Sasuke halts boruto with a knee feint and leaps into a guyver kick but connects with his right leg instead of his left. Sasuke quickly kips up into a roundhouse kick to the stomach into another black mass and boruto's legs give out.
"That's enough.. Sasuke you win" iruka says, as boruto collapses and raises his hand to stop the match. [song ends]
シーンブレイク
Sasuke stares at boruto and turns on his heels towards his clique as the blond's eyes flicker in anger, his fists clenching at his side. The taijutsu test finishes with decent fights from the other genin hopeful with yugao and shinobu facing civilian kunoichi, ino and naruko decide to face each other with a beautiful dance of skills. The final test is performing several jutsu and dispelling a Genjutsu and each girl does well with naruko even doing well.
"Alright Sasuke dispel this Genjutsu" sasame says, her hands blurring through signs and casting the illusion. Sasuke holds up a ram-sign and dispels it easily, performing kawarimi with a kunai, henging into his original self and five clones. He takes his new hitai-ate and heads for his clique as ino takes her turn, "You think we'll be on the same team" naruko asks, hope evident in her voice.
"Sasuke is Rookie of the year and by tradition Kunoichi of the year and Dead-last would be his teammates but there is no guarantee" shinobu says, her voice soft but matter-of-fact.
"That will mean Ino and Kiba" yugao says, her brow furrowed in concentration.
"If they follow tradition Ino would be apart of the Ino-shika-cho.. So second best Kunoichi could fill the role" sasuke says with a slight smirk, seeing ino approaching with her hitai-ate.
"Since we all passed.. Pay up Sasuke" ino says, tapping her cheek.
"You don't get a second kiss Ino" naruko says, flailing her arms and her voice rising in pitch.
"That is true.. So how about this" sasuke says, giving the other girls a kiss on each cheek and ino her other cheek. The fangirls that have passed glare with envy and anger while boruto's fangirls were looking to their prince.
"You'll get yours Sasuke" boruto thought, still nursing his bruised ego and his eye shining with revenge. Iruka gives another speech and congratulates those that have passed and good luck next year for the others, all the while congratulating sasuke and ino on rookie and kunoichi of the year also that they need to return tomorrow for team assignments. Sasuke and his clique follow the others out after iruka dismisses them but one of the Anbu appears with a crane mask, "Lord Fourth needs to see you Sasuke Uchiha" he says, his voice muffled by his mask.
"Told you" zetsuei says, a hint of smugness in her tone.
"Alright.. I see you four at Ichiraku" sasuke says and the four nod, as neko vanishes with sasuke. They appear in front of the hokage in his office with the blond having a fake smile on his face, "Hello Sasuke and congratulation on becoming a Genin" minato says, his blue eyes studying the uchiha heir carefully.
"Thank you Lord Fourth" sasuke says, his tone respectful but guarded. Minato's smile falters slightly as he leans forward and his hands clasped on the desk, "I'll get straight to the point.. Now that you've become a Genin and that entitles you certain things but also since you are the Last male of your clan excluding your brother.. That means you qualify for the Clan Restoration Act... What that means you will have marry five women and have children" he explains., his tone becoming more serious.
"Am I able to choose who I marry" sasuke asks, with a raised eyebrow and is his only visible sign of surprise.
"Of course.. You can court the chosen girls but by twenty.. One must be with child" minato says, thinking of his daughter and her feelings for the boy before him.
"Then I would like your permission to court Naruko.. I will also ask Lord Inoichi about Ino" sasuke says, his voice measured.
"You will more than likely add Shinobu Kocho and Yugao Uzuki" minato says more than asking and sasuke nods.
"You can add Anko Mitarashi as well" sasuke adds and minato blinks slightly but frowns slightly as well.
"Many will look down on her inclusion.. She was Orochimaru's apprentice" minato says, a slight frown creasing his brow.
"True but hasn't she proved herself.. She was there for me after what Itachi did... I greatly appreciate that and I want to repay her for it by making her one of my future wives" sasuke says firmly. Minato sighs softly with a nod having his blue eyes on sasuke, "I will allow it but be warned.. There will be those who won't accept this and move to have their choice forward" minato says, before dismissing him. Sasuke bows at the waist and turns on his heels to leave the hokage's office, "He must be talking about the Civilian members of the council or someone in the Daimyo's court maybe" he thought, his mind racing a little.
"Maybe but they know to keep nice with you" zetsuei muses, her tone light. Sasuke leaves the hokage tower, making his way to ichiraku finding his clique but also anko laughing with each of them.
"Sasu-kun" anko crows, a mischievous glint in her eyes. Sasuke make a face at the nickname but couldn't help the small twitch of his lips.
"What did Dad want" naruko asks, between slurping of her ramen.
"He was telling me about the CRA and my obligations" sasuke says, his voice low and slides onto a stool next to her.
"Are you going to talk to Daddy" ino asks while twirling her bang and sasuke nods, "He might try to scramble your brains" she adds with a grimace.
"As long as he can still Go.. I'll be fine" anko chimes in with wink. Sasuke shoots her a look and anko grins unrepentantly but orders himself some ramen and the group enjoy a small party for graduating. The group soon part ways and head to prepare for placements the next day but sasuke heads to a tattoo parlor, "Can I help you" the girl working the counter asks, her tone friendly.
"I'm looking to get this done" sasuke says, pulling a paper out of his cargo pocket and smoothing it on the counter. On the paper is a design for his left arm of a damaged arm with mechanized parts revealed, culminating with the lower jaw of a skull on the hand.
"This is cool looking" the artist Godo says, walking up and his voice deep.
"Think you can do it" sasuke asks, a hint of challenge in his voice.
"I'll need a few days to work up an outline" godo says, stroking his chin thoughtfully.
"That's fine.. For the mouth I want to be able to cover my mouth" sasuke says and godo nods.
"That would look awesome.. Efa.. Set him up for next week early" godo says with a grin and efa nods. Sasuke thanks the pair and heads home to feed bond again with a walk to do his business. The next day comes quickly and sasuke leaves bond in the care of a clone heads towards the academy, dressed in black tights with white cargo shorts and a dark blue long sleeve shirt having the uchiha fan on the back, his hitai-ate hanging from his belt loop with some work boots.
"Daddy don't start!" ino shouts, her face flushed with embarrassment. Sasuke sees ino and inoichi near the gates of the academy and zetsuei giggles, "Doting Father" she says, her tone clearly amused. Inoichi marches up to sasuke with fire, lightning and brimstone at his back, his sky-blue eyes fiery and his thoughts on the red-eye devil trying to take his baby girl.
"Sasuke Uchiha.. Do you have feelings for my little Princess?!" inoichi says, his voice tight with barely contained emotion. Sasuke stares unblinking as inoichi glares at him but nods his head, "And I wish permission to court her" sasuke says with his tone calm.
"Nev..." inoichi says but halts as his eyes widen at the sight of his wife Noriko, "N-n-noriko.. Y-you have to understand" he says, completely ignoring sasuke. He walks pass inoichi and follows ino inside the academy, "Sorry about that" ino says, her cheeks still pink but sasuke pats her head. They enter the class and naruko crashes into him as boruto glares, before greeting shinobu and yugao as they sit down. Soon iruka arrives to announce each team and goes through the first six, "Team-Seven under the command of Kakashi Hatake is Boruto Namikaze.. Kiba Inuzuka and Sakura Haruno" he says and sakura screeches about true love conquering all, before he shuts her up.
"Team-Eight under the command of Kurenai Yuhi is Shino Aburame.. Hinata Hyuga and Shinobu Kocho... Team-Nine under the command of Tenten Higarashi is Naruko Uzumaki.. Yugao Uzuki and Sasuke Uchiha" iruka continues and gets a chorus of groans from the fangirls.
"Quiet!.. Team-Ten under the command of Asuma Sarutobi is Shikamaru Nara.. Choji Akimichi and Ino Yamanaka" iruka says and finishes the teams.
"We're on a team Sasuke" naruko says, grinning from ear to ear and eyes sparkling with excitement.
"And our Sensei is the Sword Dancer" yugao says, excited to learn from tenten.
"Good for Panda.. She's a respected Jonin and A-rank kunoichi" sasuke thought, a faint smile tugging at his lips.
"I am on a team with Shino.. Perhaps he can help me with my little ones" shinobu says, looking to the heavy clothed shino.
"You're lucky.. Another iteration of the Ino-shika-cho" ino says with disappointment but intrigue as well.
"Then Spice it up Princess" yugao says, a mischievous grin on her face.
"I plan to" ino says with a smirk on her face. Soon the jonin arrive to pick up their teams as shinobu and ino leaving with their teams, "What's our sensei like" naruko asks, practically bouncing in her seat with curiosity.
"She's a skilled swordswoman and fighting style seems like dancing.. She's also skilled in Raiton and can make it dance along her swords" yugao says, her eyes lighting up.
"I accept your praise.. Yugao Uzuki" a voice says and the remaining genin see tenten at the sliding door. She has dark brown hair and grey eyes with her hair in two panda buns covered by white lace. She wears a white sleeveless, high-collar qipao dress with red trimmings having a pink flame pattern on the left, wrapped by a maroon obi, fishnet stockings and black high-heel boots with black gloves.
"Follow me" tenten says, her voice carrying a note of authority that has the three genin immediately on their feet. Sasuke notices the glares from team-7 drilling into their backs but he ignores them and focuses instead on the path ahead.
"I won't mince words.. We're a Team starting now.. Your results and Pedigrees speak for themselves but that means I'll be expecting great things from each of you" tenten adds, her tone serious but not unkind.
"So we're taking missions already" naruko asks, unable to hide her excitement as they leave the academy.
"The other teams need to be tested by some of their Jonin.. So we have about two days of free time.. So I will introduce you to one of my Pride and Joys" tenten explains, smiling at naruko's enthusiasm.
"Anko did say she has a child and husband.. So it must be weapons" zetsuei says and sasuke mentally nods. Tenten leads her team into the village proper and towards the commercial district, "I Pride myself on making my own weapons.. Something I will pass on to you.. I will you have making your own custom weapon or weapons with myself or my hubby Shin" she explains and yugao lights up. Team-9 soon arrive at a weapons shop with several forges and attached home to the shop. The rising smoke from the forges fill their noses and the ringing of the hammers their ears.
"Follow me" tenten says, leading them towards one of the larger forges. A young man with spiky black hair and silver eyes is hammering a piece of metal but looks up in time to see his wife and her genin.
"Shin.. This my team of Naruko Uzumaki.. Yugao Uzuki and Sasuke Uchiha... Team this is husband Shin" tenten says and all four exchange greetings.
"So are you ready to begin plans for your custom weapons" shin says, setting down his hammer.
"What kind of weapons can we make" naruko asks, quick to voice her thoughts.
"I have a book of weapon designs inside the shop.. You can check it out as I check on Xiayou" tenten says, thinking of her cute baby.
"Who's Xiayou" yugao asks, her curiosity piqued.
"Our little Panda" shin says, affectionately and his voice filled with pride. Tenten guides her team into the shop, which is filled with an impressive array of weapons, ninja gear and clothing. Yugao's eyes immediately lock onto a display of finely crafted swords and her fingers twitching as if itching to test their balance.
"This way" tenten says, leading them into the back with a storage area and grabs a few thick books.
"Go through them.. I'll be right back" tenten adds and the three nod as their sensei disappears through another door. Each pick a book and start to look through but yugao is dead-set on a sword, "I think I want a Bo-staff like Jiji or maybe some daggers" naruko says, being a bit indecisive.
"You don't really need a custom weapon.. You have me" zetsuei says with pride and sasuke snorts.
"Jealous" sasuke thought and the sword spirit huffs with her arms folded, "How about some Knuckledusters" he thought, imagining how they could complement his taijutsu skills.
"What will you make Sasuke" naruko asks, leaning over his shoulder to peek.
"I think I'll make some Knuckledusters" sasuke says, his voice calm but tinged with a hint of excitement.
"I'm making a sword or maybe two" yugao comments, her eyes gleaming with determination.
"I can teach you some Dual swords techniques" tenten says, her voice filled with the excitement of a mentor eager to share her knowledge. Yugao's face lights up at the prospect, "Really Tenten-sensei?!.. That would be amazing!" she said, her usually calm demeanor giving way to genuine excitement. Tenten nods and is pleased with her team's enthusiasm as she claps her hands together to draw everyone's attention, "Now then.. Let's get started.. We have a lot of work ahead of us but I think you'll find it rewarding" she said, her voice taking on a more authoritative tone.
