AN-1: Hello. Hello. Hello. I bring you another chapter. I've decided on Sasuke's MS and EMS skills one will be similar to Shinji Hirako's Shikai Sakasama no Sekai called Hanten Sekai or Inversion World or simply Inverse. The other is a blue flame to rival Amaterasu called Kagutsuchi, his Susanoo a six-arm titan with six blades one being the Sword of Totsuka. Itachi will have the Yata Mirror, Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi but no EMS or does he? Thank you to those who have Reviewed and let's continue on.

"When did you get a tattoo Sasuke" naruko says, her blue eyes widening with curiosity as she notices the intricate design on sasuke's left arm. It has been a few days since team-9 formed and each were working on their new weapons courtesy of their sensei's shop. Sasuke is wearing a tank top showing off his ink on his left arm, "Got it yesterday and Anko healed it for me" he says with a hint of pride.
"It looks good on you.. Like your arm is fake underneath" yugao says, tilting her head examining the tattoo. Sasuke covers his mouth with his left hand both see the skull jaw tattoo on it, "That's pretty cool" shin says, as he approaches and sasuke says thanks. Shin looks over sasuke's chakra metal knuckledusters and makes some touch ups to the design mold, "It'll look interesting once it is done" shin says, his expert eyes catching details the others might miss.
"Alright team.. We'll head to take some D-rank missions" tenten says, clapping her hands and getting her team's attention. Team-9 bid shin goodbye and make their way towards the hokage tower's second floor or the mission hall. Iruka and hiruzen were sitting at a long desk with a board near them having various missions on them, "Team-9.. Ready for your first mission" hiruzen says, his voice gravelly but kind.
"Yes we are Lord Sandaime" tenten responds respectfully before moving to examine the mission board.
"I'm making a Chakra metal Bo-staff Jiji.. Sensei is letting us use her shop" naruko says and hiruzen puffs his pipe.
"I see.. I'll have to show you some Katas" hiruzen says and naruko smiles with joy, "What about you Sasuke.. Yugao" he adds, a twinkle in his eyes.
"A pair of Knuckledusters" sasuke says succinctly.
"A pair of swords" yugao says and the former hokage nods, taking a puff of his pipe.
"Team.. Our first mission is relatively simple as we will catching a lost pet" tenten says with wry smile and the three nod. However said pet is a two-hundred-pound black bear named Tiny but such were d-rank missions as villagers used genin as cheap labor. Though tenten would chose missions to test her team's stamina, coordination and thinking skills, also many taught them skills they could use. Tenten is strict but fair sensei and it warms sasuke's heart to see panda happy with her family. Three months would go by pretty fast for team-9 and the rookie teams as sasuke's clique would meet at least once a week to see one another. Shinobu enjoys being on kurenai's team despite having hinata on it as the heiress seems to pine for boruto and take her frustrations out on her team, something kurenai tries to curb but it is slow going. Ino on the other hand manages to find a way to shake up the standard ino-shika-cho by using her perfect chakra control to learn a little of Tsunade Senju's medical skills but also a way to strike pressure points from her mother. Noriko taught her how to use various plants in various manners allowing ino to not just be a sideline kunoichi and solely rely on her clan's techniques.
"It'll be fun for us to move into Sasuke's place… We can see each other more often and play with Bond whenever we want" anko said with a mischievous grin, during one of their weekly meetings to keep up with one another. Naruko and ino immediately latch onto the idea, rushing to their fathers with the proposal. To their surprise, one father vehemently opposed the idea while the other gave his approval with barely a fight but they soon discover that anko has beaten them all to it, moving in right after graduation.
"You sneaky snake!" naruko exclaims, a mix of admiration and frustration in her voice.
"We'll get our revenge Anko.. Just you wait" ino says, nodding in agreement and a determined glint in her eye. Sasuke watches the playful banter with amusement, realizing that his life had become far more lively and unpredictable. Sasuke now has four new roommates with a fifth only allowed move in once she becomes a chunin. Speaking of chunin the exams were another three months away and would be held in konoha, with rumors that all of konoha's rookies would be entered as a way to show off to the other nations. Through the boys sasuke learned a few things outside of konoha like danzo and orochimaru devising ways to get their hands on his Sharingan. This intrigues sasuke as he could test Mangekyo abilities Kagutsuchi and Hanten Sekai on the snake sannin as a precursor to itachi, pein, tobi and whoever comes after. He also learned that bandits were migrating to Mt. Nagumo to the northwest under the banner of the Bandit King. He suspects the hokage would use this as an opportunity to stay in good graces of the Oda family, who were the royal family of fire country.

Teams seven, eight, nine, ten and the previous year's team three lead by Might Gai were standing in front of the hokage in the mission hall. Team-7 were exuding arrogance and it seemed kakashi didn't stamp it out or was too lazy to do it. Gai's team were made of his adopted son Rock Lee, hinata's cousin Neji and Sumire Shigaraki one of danzo's plants. She has long purple hair and matching eyes wearing a purple sleeveless halter neck shirt with a lavender sash around her waist and dark pants with a shuriken holster around her right thigh, long fingerless black gloves, also bandages wrapped around her wrists and footwear.
"Krhmp.. Now All of you have been Genin for three months and Team Gai for a year.. However I have test for you all" minato says and looks over the fifteen genin and five jonin, "The Fire Daimyo has tasked Konoha with dealing with a Bandit threat" he adds, his tone serious but also grave.
"Bandits Dad?!" boruto says, his voice a mix of disbelief and eagerness.
"It is not Simple Bandits Son.. These Bandits are amassing in numbers on Mt. Nagumo.. They have harassed several merchant caravans.. Even one the Royal Princesses' caravan as well" minato says, his expression remain serious.
"Wouldn't this be something a team of Jonin or Anbu be dealing with" kurenai asks, ever the voice of reason.
"True but Our Genin Need to be tested.. We started with fifteen teams this year and only Four remain.. The Bandits are high in number but I believe these Five teams can handle this" minato says, acknowledging her concern. His blue eyes scan the room while gauging the reactions of the young shinobi with some looking eager, others apprehensive but all were attentive.
"Sure we can Dad!... Some of us can beat some Weak bandits" boruto exclaims, his voice brimming with confidence and casting a sidelong glance at his sister, and a hint of challenge in his eyes.
"This will be considered an A-rank mission and will be reflected as such.. Do well and you may curry favor with the Royal Family" minato says and sees some smirking faces but mainly team-7, "Genin Dismissed and be ready to leave in One hour at the main Gate.. Jonin remain" he adds, ignoring his son's bravado. The genin slowly trickle out as minato clears his throat, "Now these Bandits are being lead by someone called The Bandit King.. Sensei wasn't able to find out their identity.. So be prepared as they may have some Skill" he says and the five nod. One hour later all five teams were assembled but team-7 were giving team-9 or rather the weapons of two members looks. Naruko has her bo-staff coated in black having red spirals and outfitted with hidden blades on both sides. Yugao has her dual swords across her lower back with round guards and each hilt purple and black, their sheaths a sleek black having the phases on the moon on them.
"Alright listen up Mt. Nagumo is about three days away from here.. So we'll travel by day with two Genin and one Jonin on five-hour watch rotation at night.. Also we'll be tackling strategies as well" asuma says, his gruff voice cutting through the murmur of conversation.
"This mission will involve Killing.. So be prepared.. Killing animals is Much different than killing humans" kurenai says with a soft but firm tone and sees sakura turn a little white.
"We won't be holding your hands either.. The Hokage has entrusted this mission to you.. Don't mess up or it will lead to your death" tenten says with her eyes sharp and sees a few gulps from the young genin.
"However we will protect you if things breakdown" kakashi says, giving his patented eye-smile and gai giving a good-guy smile with a thumbs up. The combined group take off at high genin speed but it is not without complaints from sakura. Sasuke and his clique bunch up slightly but remain with their teams as they travel northwest. The first day soon becomes night and the combined team make camp which sees sakura and even hinata trying to go sleep in boruto's tent but both were shut down by their respective sensei. Sasuke with kakashi and sumire would get the last watch before dawn, "So Sasuke.. I hear you have your Sharingan" kakashi asks casually, looking down at his book. The crackle of the flames and the darkness hide sasuke's face but slowly those haunting red eyes come bare with three black tomoe.
"They're fully mature?!.. Danzo-sama must know" sumire thought with her mind racing and keeping the shock off her face.
"Interesting.. We'll have to spar one day.. I'm sure Tenten will allow it" kakashi says, giving the uchiha an eye-smile.
"We'll see Kakashi" sasuke says, his voice calm and measured. The dawn soon comes and everyone has breakfast then break down camp to continue on towards their destination.

Kiba's nose twitches with his sharp canine senses picking up something unsettling, "This place is eerie" he mutters, eyes darting around the dense forest. Akamaru whines softly at his side and sharing his partner's unease. Sasuke adjusts the communication device around his neck and slips the bud into his ear as the others were doing the same, then adjusts zetsuei on his hip in a belt sword holster and lastly the glove on his right hand.
"Listen up.. The Bandits have claimed the mountain for themselves and according to the map and militia.. A medium sized temple should be near the top but expect them to maybe making encampments along the mountain" asuma says, his tone serious and his voice cutting through the air.
"Maintain line of sight with your teammates as the trees look thick.. All of us will be on Line Five.. We don't know the Bandits exact number.. So don't take on more than you can chew" tenten says firmly, her eyes scanning the group.
"Again.. We'll save you if needed" kakashi says, nodding solemnly and not looking up from his book. The genin nod and vanish into the forest to head up the mountain, "Should we have told them about this Bandit King" kurenai says, a hint of concern in her voice.
"We'll handle it if necessary" kakashi says, his tone calm. The forest is indeed thick with the canopy sealing off light in some areas as the teams spread out, "Beating the Losers is number one" boruto says, a hint of competitiveness in his tone.
"What about the bandits" kiba says and akamaru barks to punctuates kiba's words.
"We can handle some bandits!" boruto shot back, his voice dripping with snarkiness. The forest seems to swallow his words, leaving an uneasy silence in their wake as the teams continue their cautious advance up the mountain.
"How are we doing this Sasuke" naruko says, her blue eyes scanning the dense foliage around them as they perched on a large branch.
"First.. Yami.. Kaze.. Tsuchi... Go" sasuke says, his shadow flickered almost imperceptibly, a small breeze rustles through the leaves and a few specks of dirt swirl at their feet.
"That takes care of Ino and Shinobu but why Tsuchi" yugao says, itching to use her swords.
"Boruto will cause the most ruckus and draw attention to themselves.. Tsuchi will make sure they aren't overwhelmed.. We'll head up the summit by using the trees.. Taking out bandits covertly.. If there is a large number.. I'll use It or explosive tags" sasuke says with a low but calculated tone and both nod. Team-9 move through the trees above a path and soon find three bandits smoking but standing guard, before sasuke uses some handsigns to not alert them.
"Think the Boss will let us have some leftovers" one says, missing one eye and a few teeth.
"Probably not.. He goes through Pussy like a Broke Dick Dog in a pound full of Bitches in Heat" a second says, scratching his large belly and doesn't see sasuke crawling down the three above them. A third having a few scars takes a drag on his cigarette and looks up to see a pair of red eyes to exhale, "Hey guys" he says but words were cut short as in a blur of motion. Kunai whistle through the air to find their marks with deadly precision. The first two bandits crumple to the ground, the weapons buried deep in their forehead but sasuke holds up a hand, stopping naruko and yugao from finishing off the third bandit.
"Tell me about your Boss" sasuke said, his voice low and commanding as he catches the third bandit's gaze.
"H-h-he is called the B-bandit King.. H-he's as Powerful as a Shinobi" the bandit says, trembling as his eyes were glazed over and sasuke's eyes narrow.
"Bandit King?!" naruko says, her blue eyes widening in surprise.
"Well this could explain why the Bandits are amassing" yugao says, her hand tightening around her sword.
"Where did the Bandit King come from" sasuke says, his voice calm.
"Don't know.. H-hatori may know" the bandit says, his face contorting with effort.
"Hatori.. What does he look like" sasuke says and could see the strain starting to form on the bandit's face.
"D-dark skin.. Handsome and F-fiery red eyes.. A-a a white scarf around his waist" the bandit says, before his eyes roll in the back of his head and his breathing stops. Sasuke lets go of the now dead bandit, "This presents a problem.. We need to find Hatori to learn more about the Bandit King" he says, looking to his teammates.
"I can use my clones and Henge them as some Bandits" naruko says, her face lighting up with the idea.
"Right.. We'll continue up the mountain" sasuke says, nodding approvingly and patting her head affectionately. Naruko creates about a dozen clones and each of them henge into a combination of the three dead bandits.
"Alright let's go" sasuke says and they vanish. The three continue on their trek on the mountain but they could hear on the radio the other teams have encountered bandits and were doing battle. They come across a small clearing where several women were being held captive, guarded by a group of leering bandits. Yugao and naruko's eyes flash dangerously and without a word, both spring into action with some righteous female fury. Naruko's face contorts with rage as she sees the frightened women, "You creeps!" she snarls, her hands already forming seals. In a puff of smoke, several clones appear and charge at the bandits with fury in their eyes. Yugao draws her swords in one fluid motion with their blades gleaming in the dappled sunlight, "You'll pay for this" she hisses, her purple hair whipping around her face as she engages two bandits at once and within minutes, the clearing is silent save for the soft sobs of the captive women. Naruko creates some more clones to escort the women down the mountain to their sensei and the local militia as they continue on.
"I found him" naruko says, after they dealt with several more groups of bandits.
"Lead the way" sasuke says, as they head towards the east. Team-9 would find hatori in a clearing with a dark red spear in his hand and a faint smile on his face. Hatori is indeed handsome with fiery red eyes and wavy whitish-blond hair, dressed in dark blue pants with black boots and a leather top, a white scarf around his waist creating two tails.
"Hoh a bunch of kids from Konoha it seems" hatori says, his voice rich and smooth.
"So you knew we would come" yugao says, her voice tense.
"Sooner or Later Konoha would try to stop us.. However sending children is bothersome" hatori comments, his tone almost bored and his smile never wavering.
"Maybe so but we were sent.. Tell us.. Who is the Bandit King" sasuke says but hatori simply laughs.
"You wish to know who the Bandit King is.. Hahaha.. Interesting" hatori says, his tone mocking.
"Naruko.. Yugao.. Take to the trees... Kori" sasuke says, as a small ice flurries form another sasuke.
"We'll go on ahead instead.. Don't take too long" yugao says with her tinged by concern, as she and naruko kiss his cheeks before leaving with the clone. Hatori's eyes gleam with malice as he watches the girls leave and cruel smirk twists his handsome features, "Hahaha.. Are they your Women.. I wonder how their Pussies will taste after I kill you Shonen" hatori says his voice dripping with venom. Sasuke slowly draw his other half but vanishes once she is drawn, forcing hatori to block from the left with his spear into a furious rush of attacks, clangs and sparks with each parry or strike. Sasuke breaks the clash with a back leap as hatori drives his spear into the dirt to pole vault and swing, forcing sasuke to block the full swing but pulls back enough to send a roundhouse kick into the spear. However hatori uses the added lift to spin and swing downward again as sasuke dodges, "Impressive Shonen But..." hatori says with a hint of respect and sasuke leans back avoiding a spear thrust from his right. Hatori's eyes widen as he sees sasuke's Sharingan eyes, "So you're an Uchiha.. I heard they were wiped out" hatori says, his gaze fixed on those damnable red eyes.
"They were.. By my older brother Itachi no less.. My name is Sasuke" sasuke says but closes his right eye, as his left shifts into a red five-petal flower.
"And this is the Hanten Sekai" sasuke says with a smirk and hatori jerks as his perception flips before his very eyes.
"What is this?!" hatori says, panic edging into his voice. Sasuke says nothing and shoots forward but hatori's danger senses go off behind him, before his left shoulder opens up with a spray of blood as he meets the threat.
"It must be hard to overcome one's instincts" sasuke says with his voice calm, before moving again and flickering around hatori as he tries to counter but this time it is his right leg opening up. Hatori attempts to go on the offensive but with his perception so off and his instincts are forcing him to act in a certain manner as his wounds increase.
"Such is Hanten Sekai.. It throws your perception askew.. Right is Left.. Up is Down.. Even Forward and Backwards are reversed" sasuke says, his voice echoing strangely in hatori's ears.
"Speak Properly Shonen!" hatori shouts with frustration as sasuke cut his spear in half.
"So even my words are Askew.. Interesting" sasuke says before hatori's head leaves his body, "Now you'll Never know how Naruko and Yugao taste" sasuke adds, as things return to normal for hatori and his head hits the ground with a wet thud.

"Ara-ara.. How do you like my Little ones" shinobu says, her soft voice echoing. Team-8 made it about a quarter of the way up the mountain before encountering bandits. Team-7's actions over the radio serve as a distraction and allow them to move easily despite hinata wanting to go aid boruto. Shinobu's time in team-8 is informative as kurenai is a motherly teacher and being on a team with shino allows her better use her little ones. The kocho family were similar to the aburame clan with their Kikaichu insects and the Kamizuru of iwa's bees but her little ones were butterflies. Her parents died during the kyubi rampage and her older sister Kanae on a mission gone wrong but they left her the tools to use her butterflies.
"One your left" hinata says, her Byakugan active. A swarm of kikaichu emerge from shino and a cloud of pollen from shinobu that form butterflies with glowing wings. The bandits try to fight off the swarms and hinata rushes towards them with several precise strikes to their hearts. Shinobu uses her little ones to create illusion allowing her to strike with a dagger and kicks but for a moment sees sasuke in the high trees, "I wonder who Sasuke sent to protect me" she thought, a smile playing on her lips as she continues her assault.
"Hey Guys" choji says, as the rest of team-10 arrive.
"Didn't know you all were so close by but I saw the pollen" ino says, her gaze lingering on the shimmering butterflies still dancing through the air.
"Mendokusei.. You were looking for Sasuke" shikamaru says and ino shoots him a dark look.
"Did you encounter the other teams" hinata says, being the peacemaker as the six take to the trees.
"No but team-7 has been loud on the radio and I think Asuma-sensei or the other Sensei may have to get involved.. Team-9 and Three have been quiet.. Hence we were looking" ino says, her blonde hair swaying with the motion of her head shake.
"Team-3 have a year's worth of experience compared to us and Team-9 has Sasuke who is contrary to the popular belief of some.. The Strongest of our year" shikamaru says, his tone matter-of-fact.
"He may be as strong as the Hokage or more so" ino and shinobu thought, a mixture of admiration and curiosity coloring their thoughts. Shinobu's butterflies swirl around her, their delicate wings catching the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves. The shimmering insects seem to dance in response to her emotions, creating a mesmerizing display as the group continue their ascent up the mountain.
[Music: Duel of The Fates - Two Step From Hell Version(Loop)]
After killing hatori and sealing his head for a possible bounty sasuke creates a clone to inform his team before using flashstep to reach the summit of the mountain. There is a wooden torii gate slowly rotting away and about fifty stone steps leading up to what appears to be a shinto style temple with a long path having statues depicting snarling lions. Sasuke also feels the area has dropped a few degrees and he sees the temple has fallen into complete decline. At the end of the long path sits the haiden but one could see the remains of the shinden behind it. However sitting on the steps of the haiden is young man but he didn't look one bit like a common bandit. For one the young man is dressed in white pants and black dress shoes, a dark blue dress shirt and white suit vest with matching tie. His white hair partially slicked back on the left and his ice-blue eyes filled with confidence.
"You must be the Bandit King" sasuke says, his tone calm.
"Perhaps and you" the supposed bandit king says, a hint of amusement in his voice.
"Sasuke Uchiha.. Genin of Konohagakure no Sato" sasuke says, his hand resting casually on zetsuei. The supposed bandit king smiles with a wolfish grin as a dozen or so bandits appear out of the haiden, "Well Konoha Genin.. I am the Bandit King.. My name is Toshiro Aisu" he says, his voice a hint anticipation. Sasuke moves forward and the bandits rush him but his Quicksword makes short work of them, the technique created by using refining his reiatsu to sharpness of a blade and slashing through anything in its path. Toshiro rises as the last bandits crashes to the ground, while slowly slipping on black gloves and grabbing a nodachi. It has a white and dark blue hilt but sasuke could feel this air about the sword, "Perhaps its similar to Samehada" zetsuei says, referring the legendary of the hidden mist.
"Well Sasuke Uchiha.. Do well to entertain me" toshiro says, drawing his nodachi from its sheath. Sasuke draws zetsuei and shifts into a Gatotsu stance as toshiro does the same with a smile but sasuke notices this ice-cold aura around toshiro. Both move forward with mirrored gatotsu strikes as the tips of their blades meet and both push on their swords. Both blades break off one another and slide pass their faces and cut their cheeks but don't draw blood as sasuke uses his sheath as a second blade, however toshiro dodges back with a smirk on his face. Sasuke moves forward with an upward slash but toshiro sidesteps and counters with a downward slash.
"Good" toshiro says and shoots forward with his attacks becoming more concentrated but also more relentless. Sasuke keeps up the pace and notices something as things were getting colder to the point of his breath becoming visible with each puffy breath but toshiro wasn't.
"Could he know something similar to the Hinokami Kagura" sasuke thought, breaking the clash and sending toshiro back a few paces.
"Hatori said you were as Powerful as a Shinobi but your skill with the sword scream Samurai" sasuke says and toshiro chuckles as it sounds amused but also condescending.
"You would correct.. Unlike you Feckless Shinobi who use their chakra for Jutsu.. We Samurai use chakra in conjunction with our swords" toshiro says and spins his sword with a flourish, before driving it down.
"Sword Art: Glacial Garden" toshiro declares and the ground flashes freezes around him but also expands. Sasuke's eyes widen as glacial flowers form after the area freezes but a smile forms on his face, "How Intriguing" he says, activating his Sharingan.
"Ahh.. The famed Sharingan.. Now things will become more interesting" toshiro says, slicking the rest of his hair back. He closes the gap with ice breaking speed into a furious clash and forcing sasuke on the back foot as the former naruto analyzes.
"He's using the cold to give you Hypothermia or Frostbite" zetsuei says, her concern filling him. Sasuke suddenly breaks open toshiro's guard and grabs his tie into a headbutt, staggering toshiro and allowing sasuke to send a heavy roundhouse into his stomach. Toshiro crashes through one of the glacial flowers, the delicate ice structure shattering around him but he bounds to his feet quickly with his smile gone before holding his sword horizontally and resting his left hand on the blade.
"Sword Art: Ice Partisan" toshiro says, his voice cold and sharp. Sasuke's eyes narrow as ice pole-arms form from the broken ice and fire at him but he tosses zetsuei up into a flurry of signs, "Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu" he thought with a large inhale and unleashing a large flame. Both attacks collide with a cloud of steam but toshiro emerges through it with his sword aimed for sasuke's chest, piercing him and ice forming to freeze sasuke from the inside.
"Hinokami Kagura: Enbu!" a familiar voice calls out, slashing toshiro's back and sending him tumbling across the icy ground. Sasuke stands with his beloved sword in his hands and her blade on fire as toshiro slowly gets to his feet, "Hinokami Kagura.. H-how can you know such a Sword Art" toshiro hisses, his composure cracking for the first time.
"My mother taught me the Hinokami Kagura.. Who was taught by my Grandmother.. Who was taught by my Great Grandmother who was an Onna-musha from Iron Country.. It was passed down in secret as most of my clan looked down on Samurai" sasuke explains and toshiro grits his teeth in rage. He shifts his sword over his right shoulder and behind his neck with both hands on his hilt, before lowering his legs and sucking in a large breath.
"Secret Sword Art: Ice Pheasant!" toshiro shouts, rocketing forward and creating an ice pheasant complete with wings. Sasuke raises his sword high as the flames become hotter, "Hinokami Kagura: Enkai Hibashira" he says, swinging down in a powerful and burning arc. A pillar of flames erupt from the blade to engulf toshiro's ice technique but the heat is so intense that it not only melts the ice but continues on to consume toshiro himself. The clash of fire and ice create a spectacular display visible even to team-7 and team-9 in the distance as they were the closest. Sasuke stands amidst the scorching earth as the flames begin to die down, steam rising from the melted ice and before him lays toshiro's burned form. [song ends]

The air is thick with the scent of smoke and melting frost, creating an eerie atmosphere around the temple grounds. Naruko, yugao and kori arrive suddenly via the latter's flashstep to see the remains of sasuke's battle with toshiro, seeing the slowly melting glacial flowers and the scorched earth.
"Wow we missed a battle!" naruko says, her blue eyes darting around the devastated landscape.
"We did" yugao says, her brown eyes on toshiro's nodachi that lays near his charred corpse.
"Team-7 should be coming soon.. I'll check inside.. Keep them occupied for a bit" sasuke says seriously and both nod. He makes his way up the steps to enter the haiden and says a silent prayer to which ever deity this shrine belonged to. The shrine has several sleeping bags and also numerous chests but one has a medium size scroll. Sasuke creates some clones to look over things as he kneels to the scroll and slowly unfurls it, "The Raptor Clan.. Hmm" he says, his eyes scanning the ancient text.
"Like Birds of Prey" zetsuei says, offering a possible interpretation.
"Possible or Maybe it's something else" sasuke muses, his mind already racing with potential implications.
"Just a lot of money or weapons" the clones say, as sasuke picks up the scroll after furling it back. He makes his way back outside to see team-7 arguing with his team, "Looks like you're all late!" sasuke says, his voice carrying a hint of amusement as he descends the steps. The bickering ceases immediately as all eyes turn to him, taking in his slightly disheveled appearance and the destruction surrounding the temple.
"What happened here Sasuke?!" kiba shouts, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"I fought the Bandit King and Won" sasuke says simply, his statement sending shockwaves through team-7.
"No way Sasuke!" boruto shouts but sasuke simply points to toshiro's body.
"The evidence is not five feet from you.. I'm sure Kiba's nose can smell scent despite the smoke" sasuke says and shifts the scroll under his right arm, "We should contact our Sensei or head back down and finish off the other bandits" he adds, his tone matter-of-fact.
"Why should we listen to you?!.. Boruto-kun should've fought the Bandit King" sakura says, her green eyes flashing with indignation.
"Ah So" sasuke says with indifference, grabbing toshiro's nodachi. Naruko and yugao follow sasuke down the steps as sakura complains or kiba calls out to them, "Can I have the sword.. After Sensei gives the go ahead" yugao says, her voice filled with barely contained excitement.
"We'll see" sasuke says in a noncommittal tone.
"What's under your arm" naruko asks, her curiosity getting the better of her.
"I think it's a Summon Contract.. I'll need to speak to Kakashi-sensei or the Hokage about it" sasuke replies, his tone low.
"Yosh!.. It is Team-9!" a loud voice says and they see lee with his team. Neji scrutinizes sasuke and his team while sumire maintains a meek facade, "Is something wrong Hyuga" sasuke says, his tone challenging.
"You live up to the rumors.. However Hype don't compare to Facts" neji says, his pale eyes locking on sasuke's dark ones.
"Hn.. I am the Hype" sasuke says coolly, continuing his descent down the steps. His casual demeanor seems to irk neji as pale eyes narrows slightly. Rock Lee suddenly appears before them as his round eyes blaze with determination, "Wait one second Sasuke Uchiha.. I wish to fight you.. Many speak of the Uchiha's greatness.. I wish to see if it is true" lee says, his voice brimming with enthusiasm.
"We're still on Mission.. Another time Rock Lee" sasuke says with a level but there is a tinge of annoyance, as team-9 vanish.
"He seems pretty determined to prove himself" yugao says, referring to lee's challenge.
"We'll see during the Chunin Exams" sasuke says, his dark eyes gleaming with anticipation. Team-9 would find tenten around the mid-point of the mountain and would explain things, even about toshiro's sword arts and this immediately catches the attention of their sensei. Sasuke would hand over toshiro's nodachi to tenten's happiness and to yugao's horror asked to keep the sword as it is an immaculate blade from iron country.
"Don't worry I'll make it up to you" sasuke whispers, sensually in yugao's ear and she blushes brightly with her heart racing. Tenten also allows sasuke to keep the summon contract but he would try it under her supervision and the former blond agreed. The mission at large is a success and the number of bandits reaches a hundred and twenty. The local samurai militia would handle any stragglers and bury the bodies with the teams' help, much to the disgust of team-7.
#Konohagakure no Sato - One Week Later#
"All you have to do is sign you name in blood.. And then perform the Handsigns I showed you" tenten says, her voice instructive but her eyes gleaming with anticipation. Team-9 were in training ground forty-three near anko's playground, "Any ideas on what the Raptor Clan are" sasuke says, curiosity evident in his tone.
"We'll see once you try" tenten says with a slight shrug. Sasuke runs his fingers through his pulled back hair and then bites his thumb, before beginning to write his name in blood and slowly weaves the signs of boar, dog, bird, monkey and ram.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" sasuke declares but vanishes in a large puff of smoke. He looks around finds himself inside long grass with a cloudy sky, "Is this the Summon Realm of the Raptors" sasuke says, moving cautiously among the tall grasses. Above sasuke one can see the grass parting as if something is moving through the grass towards him. The former naruto halts in his tracks with his eyes closed but leaps with his reiatsu as several bipedal, feathered carnivores with a long tails and enlarged sickle-shape claws on each hind foot, also having a long and low skull with an upturned snouts attempt to tackle him.
"How did he leap so High?!" one says, having a bluish-grey feather pattern.
"Were those Velociraptors?!" zetsuei says, remembering those movies from their original life. Sasuke looks around and in the distance sees a flat top pyramid with several tiers and ascending stairs, "But some with feathers" he says, heading towards the pyramid with flashstep. On the top the pyramid is massive coiled snake having feathered wings of gold, red and white with its scales a darker color. Sasuke lands at the base of the pyramid as numerous large, flightless birds with long hind limbs, narrow pelvises, proportionally small wings, and huge skulls having a tall, long, sideways compressed hooked beaks appear.
"Human.. Human here.. Fresh meat" several of them repeat, their voices a mixture of excitement and hunger. The velociraptors from before emerge from the long grass behind him but a loud roaring stops them, "No harm comes to the Human" a regal voice says, echoing over the landscape. Sasuke sees the massive feathered snake slithers down the steps with its green eyes on him, "Are you the Boss" sasuke asks, his voice steady despite the extraordinary situation.
"I am the Goddess Quetzalcoatl.. Human" the feathered serpent says, its voice both ancient and powerful.
"Greetings Goddess Quetzalcoatl.. I am Sasuke Uchiha and I found your summon contract in a desecrated shrine" sasuke says, bowing his head in respect. Quetzalcoatl glows and transforms into the form of a beautiful blonde young woman with feathered clothing(fgo quetzalcoatl). She grabs sasuke by the face and locks eyes with him, "Show me" she says and sees everything, "I see.. Then you will be our Summoner Mitsuomi Kiriyu" she adds with a smirk. Loud footsteps echo and sasuke looks back to the long grass as a large creature with dark eyes, its hide a grayish white with spikes on its back and developed long forelimbs with strong, slashing claws. The other is smaller than the first but having black skin with a golden-yellow streak running from the base of the neck to is tail, even the same sickle-shape claws on its hind foot. However it also has hands with four fingers, an opposable thumb and three main digits, its head resembling a t-rex to sasuke.
"Indominus.. Indo.. Good of you to join us.. We Finally have a Summoner" quetzalcoatl says, her voice carrying a hint of amusement. Sasuke fully turns to the pair and indominus roars in his face, buffeting his hair and showing its jaw can open nearly vertically.
"Interesting" indo says with an unsettling tone, its mouth flaky and peeling away in some areas and is also sickly-looking, with ragged teeth but also two crests above its eyes.
"He's unafraid" indominus says, a deep feminine tone to its voice compared to indo.
"He's Powerful you two.. He will bring us to Prominence like the Summons of the Sannin" quetzalcoatl says, her eyes gleaming with approval.
"That would nice" indo comments, a touch of weariness in its voice.
"Well Sasuke.. I'll send you back but summon one Raptors to explain things.. Just use Velociraptors" quetzalcoatl says and sasuke nods, before she pats his chest and he vanishes.
"Sasuke?!" naruko says, filled with concern and curiosity after sasuke reappears in a puff of smoke.
"What happened.. You were gone several minutes" tenten says, her brow furrowed.
"I ended up in the Raptor's summon realm.. Here I'll summon one of them explain things" sasuke explains and pricks his thumb, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Velociraptors" he adds and a puff of smoke erupts. The other members of team-9 gasp at the sight of a raptor with a bluish-grey feather pattern. It is 13ft long and 5.6ft tall with a white stripe having a metallic blue in the middle going horizontally from its eye orbit. One side has blue around the eye, while the other side's stripe stops at the head and down to the tip of its tail.
"Greetings Summoner" the raptor says, having a feminine tone.
"Hello.. This is my Sensei Tenten Higarashi and my teammates slash girlfriends Naruko Uzumaki and Yugao Uzuki... Your name..." sasuke says, realizing that it never gave one.
"I do not have one" the raptor says, tilting its head.
"How about Blue.. Matches your feathers" naruko says, her voice brimming with enthusiasm.
"Hmm.. I like it" the raptor says, a hint of pleasure in its voice. Blue starts to explain that quetzalcoatl is the first of their clan and she was their mother, mating with various animals to create the likes of the terrorbirds or Phorusrhacids. The raptors like her with some not having feathers even, lastly were the siblings indominus and indo. As their summoner sasuke could become more agile with strong legs but also an increase of his katon ability. Raptors were ambush hunters and hunt in packs as well, something they would be able teach him.
"Summon my pack sisters and give them names too.. When you summon me again" blue says and dismisses herself.
"Quite the Summons Sasuke.. I'll inform Lord Yondaime and have them registered with the village" tenten says and sasuke slowly nods, "Now lets take a few D-ranks" she adds and the three follow her.

"Kukuku.. Are you That afraid of Sasuke-kun" orochimaru says, his snake like yellow eyes pinned on danzo. The dim light of their secret meeting place casts eerie shadows across his pale and angular face. The Kunoichi no Yami clutches her cane with her lone eye narrowed, "He is very much like his brother.. One of my agents has reported his Sharingan is Fully mature" danzo says, her voice low and gravelly. This information seems to intrigue the hebi sannin greatly and a slow but predatory smile spreads across orochimaru's face as he considers the implications.
"Itachi will still be stronger.. Considering Itachi has the Mangekyo.. However Sasuke having his Sharingan fully at the ready will do nicely.. My new Body will very powerful once I give him my Gift" orochimaru thought and smirks, "Then what do you propose.. You failed in attaining the Sharingan from Shisui and from the Massacre" he says, clearing amused by the old woman's failure. Danzo knows all to well her failures to gain shisui's Mangekyo, her goal of gaining the use of Izanagi by grafting numerous Sharingan but things did not end up like she wished.
"Will Suna's Jinchuriki reek enough Havoc for you to Kill Minato" danzo says, changing the topic.
"Kukuku.. Gaara will do what is needed.. However killing Minato is no easy feat.. I will do enough.. Perhaps involving Iwa or Kumo would be prudent" orochimaru says, his eyes gleaming with malicious glee.
"Never!.. I will not see Konoha completely destroyed" danzo snaps, her voice rising with sudden vehemence.
"Yet you wish to see Konoha lose its Hokage for your aims" orochimaru says with sarcasm, before slinking into the shadows.
"Why do you indulge him" a voice says, from the shadows with their tone calm and measured.
"He is a usable pawn.. His ambitious nature has given me much" danzo says, her voice steady.
"Indeed and I have as well.. Kawaki should be ready for your Chunin exams.. He.. Delta and a Pure Uzumaki will pose as another team from Kusa.. The Uzumaki is my gift to you" the voice says, still hidden in shadows.
"She will prove useful indeed" danzo says, her surprise evident. The voice says nothing but chuckles softly at how useful danzo is for their plans like a few others.

Shinobu sits on the back porch at sasuke's home and looks up at the luminous moon with wonder in her eyes, ever since she was a child the moon fascinated her. Her sister kanae told her that their parents were thinking of naming her kaguya for the moon goddess but settled on shinobu.
"Sister" shinobu whispers, her voice barely audible but thick with emotion. Kanae had been killed on a mission in the country of Ishvan near southern border of water country, her teammate claiming she sacrificed herself after the enemy killed their other teammate.
"Yet she couldn't give a Proper answer" shinobu thought, her brow furrowing slightly. The teammate who returned couldn't provide a satisfactory explanation of what transpired, leaving shinobu with more questions than answers. A blanket is draped on her shoulders and she looks back to see sasuke with concern in his eyes, "Thank you Sasuke" she says, gratitude in her voice. Sasuke wraps his arms around her small form with his chin on her shoulder, "What are you thinking about" he says, his voice low and gentle.
"My Sister.. I just wish to know what really happened" shinobu says, her tinged with sadness.
"I could use my Sharingan" sasuke says with a cautious but sincere tone and shinobu softly giggles.
"That would be bad.. Though I could get my answers" shinobu says, shifting to look into his dark eyes. Sasuke runs his fingers along her cheek and shinobu softly blushes, before slowly moving closer until their lips were nearly touching but a certain blond interrupts.
"No fair!.. No kissing!" naruko says, full of playful indignation. She stands there in her bright orange pajamas and her blonde hair slightly disheveled.
"I agree" yugao says, wearing booty shorts and a sports bra with bond next to her.
"Ara-ara.. Jealous" shinobu says with a teasing smile. Sasuke sighs and creates two clones for the pair, "I plan to summon Blue and her pack sisters" he says, changing the subject.
"Awesome I can name them Dattebane" naruko says and shinobu giggles at naruko's verbal tick.
"I look forward to meeting them" shinobu says warmly, petting bond and the dog's tail wags happily.
"Me too" anko says, appearing in front of them with shunshin.
"Well we'll have to go bed for that to happen" sasuke says and promptly naruko yawns loudly.
"Well off to bed Kiddies" anko says and naruko sticks her tongue out, as everyone says goodnight but leaving anko and sasuke.
"Did you find her" sasuke asks, once the girls gone with his tone low and intense. Anko pulls a slip of paper from her coat, "Her name is Megumi Hotaru.. She lives on the Westside.. Nice place" she says, her voice is equally low. Sasuke rises to his feet and rubs bond's head, "I'll make her Acknowledge what happened to Kanae" he says, his eyes gleaming intently.
"Chibi deserves to know what happened to her Sis" anko says, grabbing sasuke by the backside and pulling him closer.
"Careful though.. She's Fucking someone on the Council" anko says, her warm breath against the shell of his ear. Sasuke presses his lips to anko's beautiful lips with a deep kiss as bond sees a butterfly, "Borf" bond barks and they see the butterfly. He lifts his right hand and lets it land on his hand, "Tell your Mistress.. I'll take care of it.. She doesn't need to worry" sasuke says and it flies away back inside. The butterfly makes its way back to shinobu's room and lands on her finger as her eyes are a little misty, "Thank you" she whispers, her voice low.
[Music: Darkside - Neoni]
Megumi Hotaru sips her wine in her apartment paid for by her sugar daddy from the civilian council. Ever since a mission gone wrong on the island of ishvan she's been living the high life and all it took was letting her teammates die to ensure her sugar daddy got his hands on some wealth. She gave some bullshit sob story that her teammate who's name she's forgotten was killed by one of the factions on the island and then that kanae sacrificed herself so she and her sugar daddy could escape.
"Better some no-name and a Freak die instead of me" megumi says, swirling the last of the wine in her glass. The traitorous young woman finishes her wine decides to head to bed and await her sugar daddy, "Well after he deals with his Simpering wife and their crotch goblins" megumi says, imagining her sugar daddy's domestic struggles. She enters her bedroom and lays on her bed with a giggle at the thought of that fool of a woman who is her sugar daddy's wife.
"Not a Care in the world" a distorted voice says, startling megumi from her relaxed state. Megumi shoots up in the bed but is slammed back down with a hand around her throat, "W-who are you?!" she chokes out, struggling against the iron grip. The figure on top of her is dressed in all black with a white mask on their face that looks like bone, no features adorn their face other than golden eyes and black sclera. The figure's head tilts slightly in an almost playful gesture that contrasts sharply with the menace in their voice, "Oi Oi Oi.. I'm an Avenger and I'm here to right a wrong" the figure says and grabs a finger in deceptively gentle gesture, "You have Ten Fingers.. Each time you don't answer.. I Break" they add, glee in their tone. Tears well up in megumi's eyes as she looks into the terrifying eyes of the figure, "O-ok" she cries, her earlier bravado evaporating.
"What happened on Ishvan" the figure says, their voice laced with a chilling glee.
"I-I don't know" megumi says, desperately trying to recall the lie she had crafted. A searing pain shoots through her hand as the figure snaps her right pinkie without hesitation, her scream echoing through the once-quiet apartment.
"Wrong.. Your team was sent to Ishvan.. It was a simple mission.. Why did it end up with your teammates Dead" the figure says, leaning closer. Their mask seems to glow eerily in the dim light of the bedroom and adding to the menacing atmosphere.
"Y-yes.. The Island is ruled by three factions.. One of the factions secretly contacted someone in Konoha to aid them by offering their Salt mines" megumi says, after swallowing hard with her throat dry. The figure's grip tightens slightly and this causes megumi to wince in pain, "I read the official report.. There was no mention of Salt mines" the figure says, voice laced with skepticism.
"M-my Daddy had me omit it.. Since He and I were the lone survivors.. No one would be the wiser" megumi says, her words tumbling out faster now and pain on her face.
"Why did your Daddy have you hide the fact about the mines" the figure says, their golden eyes narrowing behind the mask.
"H-he didn't tell me" megumi starts but screams as pain shoots through her like lightning, "He wanted the Salt mines for himself.. He had his contacts create a fake mission to Ishvan" she says, with her right ring finger broken and tears running down her face.
"So Two Konoha Ninja died for one man's Greed" the figure hisses in a dangerous tone.
"Y-yeah.. All it took was gaslighting my teammate into helping some slave and the powder keg blew.. Kanae sacrificed herself believing I would send help" megumi says and screams as her right middle finger snaps, "I-I-I told you" she says, her voice coming like a wailing cry.
"Don't care.. You helped your Daddy get the rights of Salt mines by cooking up some BS story and letting your teammates die.. I wonder did this break the stalemate of the three factions" the figure says, their voice sending a chill down megumi's spine.
"I-it did.. Two aligned and crushed the third.. Allowing Daddy the Salt mines as payment" megumi says, her words tumbling out in a desperate rush. The figure's golden eyes narrow behind the mask with a dangerous glint visible even in the shadows and without warning, places their thumbs on her eyes and applying just enough pressure to make her whimper in terror.
"Who's your Daddy" they say with menace in their tone.
"Ashitake Shigure!" megumi blurts out, her words barely coherent through her panic. The figure removes their thumbs and this allows megumi to blink rapidly, tears streaming down her face.
"Ahh Now it makes sense.. Shigure lost a Salt Mine due to a Sinkhole" the figure thought and forces open megumi's eyes, "You're going to go to T and Confess to Everything.. You don't and I Guarantee.. Your Death will Not be Pretty" the figure says and the room catches fire with blue flames. The eerie but supernatural fire dances along the walls and furniture, casting an otherworldly glow throughout the bedroom. Megumi screams with the sound raw and primal as she bolts upright in bed. Her head whips around frantically, searching for the masked figure or the all-consuming flames but instead, her eyes lands on a small blue flame flickering near her bedside table. The sight of it is small yet so reminiscent of the terrifying inferno from moments ago, sent a jolt of pure fear through her body. Megumi leaps from her bed without a second thought, nearly tripping over her own feet in her haste. She didn't bother changing out of her silken nightgown or grabbing any possessions. All thoughts of her luxurious lifestyle and ill-gotten gains fled her mind, replaced by a singular but overwhelming urge to confess. As she burst out of her apartment and into the cool night air. Megumi's mind races with the weight of her crimes, the lives she had sacrificed for her own gain, seem to press down on her with each frantic step. The masked figure's warning echoes in her ears, driving her forward towards the T department, where she knew her comfortable life would come to an end. But even as fear and regret consumes her, a small part of Megumi couldn't help but wonder.
"Who was that masked avenger and how did they know so much?!" megumi thought with the question lingering in her mind as she runs through the darkened streets of konoha, her bare feet slapping against the pavement and carrying her towards an uncertain future. [song ends]

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Velociraptors!" sasuke declares, echoing through the forest. Naruko, yugao, shinobu, anko and even ino were waiting with anticipation inside the forest of death. A large puff of smoke erupts and the group sees blue with three others but none have feathers like blue, "Hello Summoner" blue says, her intelligent eyes scanning the group of shinobi.
"He brought others" one says, her voice tinged with curiosity. She is a teal in color with no stripes on her back or tail, also having extra nodules towards the front of her nose and past her eye ridges.
"Where are we" another says, her voice having a little echo that seems to reverberate. She has forest green skin with dark green vertical stripes running down her back.
"It smells interesting here" the last says, her eyes narrowing and assessing any threats. She is brown with dark blue striping as well as having dark blue around her eyes with a scar on the left side of her muzzle, giving her a bit of a sneer on her muzzle.
"I'm Sasuke.. This is Naruko.. Yugao.. Shinobu.. Ino and Anko" sasuke says, gesturing to the others.
"Blue says.. You will give us names" the teal one says, her tone somewhere between a question and a demand.
"We will" sasuke says, glancing to see naruko thinking deeply.
"Ok.. First will be Hela.. Then Echo for your voice.. Lastly Idol for your scar.. You look a singer I saw" naruko says, pointing to each sister in succession.
"Hela is agreeable" hela says, testing out her new name and bobbing her head.
"I like Echo" echo says happily.
"Idol sounds similar Indo.. I'll be fine" idol says, her scarred muzzle twitching in what might have been a smile. The four raptors call out as one to acknowledge sasuke as their summoner, their voices blending in an otherworldly chorus that sends shivers down the spines of the gathered shinobi.
"So where are we" echo asks, her echoing voice carrying through the dense foliage.
"This is my playground The Forest of Death.. It has Forty-four locked gates with numerous wildlife and if one is not careful.. One can die in here" anko says, proudly but also fondness and mischief.
"If you want you can Explore" sasuke says, his voice calm and confident.
"We'll do that and dismiss ourselves once done" blue says, her feathers rustling slightly. With a series of chirps and barks, the four velociraptors take off into the dense forest, their forms quickly disappearing among the shadows of the massive trees. Anko sidles up to sasuke and presses her ample chest against his back, "Nice Summons Sasu-kun" she says, her voice laced with admiration and a hint of flirtation. Her action earn her glares from the other four girls, their eyes narrowing in barely concealed jealousy.
"You should see Indominus or Indo" sasuke says, unfazed by anko's proximity and a hint of pride in his voice. The clique make their way out the forest and head for sasuke's home but meet up on boruto and sakura, "Hey Loser" boruto says but sasuke raises his fist, causing the blond to flinch.
"Hey Boruto" naruko says, her voice neutral and firm.
"What do you want Blondie" anko says, her tone sharp and challenging.
"I can't talk to my twin sister" boruto says, a hint of defensiveness creeping into his voice. Yugao's purple hair sways gently in the breeze while crossing her arms, "More like make fun of her" she says, her voice cool and matter-of-fact.
"Which doesn't bother me anymore because I have Sasuke and the others" naruko says, her voice filled with confidence and sasuke pats her head that is sign of affection mirrored by the other girls.
"So unless you have something nice to say.. Then move along" sasuke says with a commanding tone and the blond with his minion slink off.
"So who wants a Philly Cheese Steak" sasuke says, his voice light and inviting. Naruko's eyes lights up instantly and she lets out an enthusiastic cheer, "Me!.. Me!.. I'm starving!" she exclaims, bouncing on her toes and the clique head for sasuke's place. The next three months go by as a few things happened both good and bad. Shinobu is called by the hokage and he revealed the truth about her sister's mission to ishvan, how megumi and shigure conspired to gain the rights of a salt mine for the latter. Minato assured he would contact the daimyo on how to tread in ishvan and attempt to recover kanae's remains. Shinobu soundly wept in sasuke's arms for the whole night and the others comforting her as well with soothing words or hugs. Shigure is removed from the council and taken to the capital to face judgment from the daimyo. On the good side blue and her sisters loved the forest of death, bragging to many and this causes sasuke to summon indominus and indo to see it as well.
"This place... It feels like home" indominus rumbles, her massive head swiveling to take in the towering trees and thick undergrowth. Indo nods in agreement with a low growl of pleasure rumbling in her chest, "The prey here smells... Intriguing" she adds, her nostrils flaring as she catches the scent of some unseen creature.
"Why don't you two stick around for a while.. You could add a little... Excitement to the upcoming Chunin exams" anko suggests, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"If you'd like to stay.. You're welcome to… Just try not to eat any of the exam participants" sasuke says, after considering the idea for a moment. Team-9 continue to train and take missions some out of the village but nothing of major note. However team-7 brags about saving the country of nami-no-kuni and defeating a missing-nin named Raiga Kurosuki and his gang, something team-9 ignored and one of team-8 praised. Also tenten tested their elemental affinities which sasuke having fire and lightning, while naruko has wind and water with yugao having earth, complimenting them on having a good mix as a team. She would start them on how to properly use their affinities and would further help them after the exams.

Sasuke sits on the back porch of his home as bond is laying next him as his gloved hand runs through his white fur. The last uchiha in konoha now has shorter hair with the sides and back shaved having the rest slicked back. He is wearing black running tights with blue jean shorts and a black belt having a skull buckle, a sleeveless black buttoned shirt with a red frame high collar and the uchiha fan on the back, lastly a pair of black work boots having white strings.
"Think Orochimaru will try to mark you" zetsuei says, a hint of concern.
"He can try and fail.. I'll play with him though.. Anko knows not to chase him if he does show" sasuke muses, his eyes glinting with amusement.
"Ready Sasuke" naruko says, having not changed her mission outfit but adds an orange scarf. Yugao changed her mission outfit to a black tank top and shorts with a black shoulder cape, all having purple trim like her hair. Arm sleeves that secure by her middle fingers, purple tights with black knee-high laced boots and her swords across her back.
"As I can be" sasuke says, grabbing a black bomber jacket having white flames down the sleeves and the six arm asura on the back.
"Be Good Bond.. Shin and Xiayou will stop by to walk you" sasuke adds, slipping on his jacket.
"Borf" bond barks, as naruko and yugao get a good luck rub of his head. Team-9 make their way through the village and it is very lively for the exams, many coming to see sasuke and boruto. The first round of the exams would take place at the academy and the closer they get more teams appear. Teams from suna, kusa, konoha, ame, kumo and a few minor villages including oto.
"Is that him Karin" a snide voice says, eyeing sasuke hungrily. Its owner is a teen with long, curly, blonde hair and light purple eyes with yellow eye-shadow, yellow lipstick and matching nail polish on her fingernails and toe nails. She wears a turquoise tube mini dress, white fingerless evening gloves, and a collared capelet fastened with a pink triangular clasp, along with black and red stripe tights, triangle earrings, and white long high-heel sandals.
"Y-yeah Delta" karin says, slightly afraid of naruko's chakra. She has long red hair and crimson eyes hidden by red glasses, wearing a long sleeve white shirt with a purple tie and black cuffs on her wrists, black boots, and black shorts.
"Do we kill him" their teammate Kawaki says nonchalantly. He has grey eyes and bushy black hair, the sides of which are shaven and blond in color. A tattoo of IX under his left eye, a pair of piercings on his right eyebrow and stud earrings. He wears a violet infinity scarf and belt, white overalls with his chest exposed, and a black vest trench coat.
"We need him alive" delta says, her eyes never leaving the uchiha heir. Another kusa team is also watching sasuke but one has sinister intentions for him, "Soon Sasuke-kun.. Your Body will be Mine" they thought, their intent a chilling promise.
つづく
AN2: I'll end it here as you got to see Team-9's first serious mission with the Bandit King. Originally this was gonna be a throwaway mission but it evolved and opens the door for another mission. Samurai will get a Mini Arc in this story and will be stronger than Canon. They use chakra in their weapons that will be called Sword Art or Sword Aura for non-elemental. Also we got to see Hanten Sekai and I don't know if I mentioned this but Sasuke already has his EMS. I may have to go back to first chapter and add some lines about it. We also got Sasuke's summons which are essentially dinosaurs with an Aztec Goddess as the boss. Danzo plotting with Orochimaru and someone who his sending her Kawaki, Delta and Karin for the exams.
Don't worry Sasuke will save Karin and Naruko gains a sister. We got Sasuke getting information about Shinobu sister's Kanae by mentally torturing her former teammate. Don't worry team-9 and Eight will end up on Ishvan after the Chunin exams. Lastly we have the beginning of said exams and fully begin next chapter. Thank you for reading, Leave a Review it helps motivate me to write. As always Stay Frosty, Byeeee.
