Oddson and possibly endanger both him and his parents. Her eyes widened while she felt her heart drop to her stomach once her eyes landed on the sight of Kusha with a large gaping hole in her stomach. It only dropped deeper down as she saw a dead manato hugging her from behind while a crying baby was held in her arms. "Kusha! Oh god! I I can try and help you. I I won't let you die," she stuted out as she shakily walked towards her, tears building up in the corners of her eyes. Despite all of this, she forced herself not to be affected by the sight of blood or the fear she could feel from it. Chiunade, I cann<unk>t, though I am glad you made it. Kusha strained out as sununade crouched down to Kusha<unk>s side and was shakily handed the small baby in Kosa<unk>s arms. I I can you say my creation rebirth and pump it into you. I don't care if I die from it. Your baby needs his mother. Nad cried out before Kusha silenced her by her weak handcuffping her cheek. "Huw quiet, sununade, I am too far gone. P please just len to me," Kasha weakly said as sununade nodded weakly. She could see Kosa barely staying alive through sheer willpower while she held the now sleeping baby closer to her. "Pe, please look after Narudo for me and Monado. Love him first and a allow h him into your heart," she said as she shakily moved her hand down to Naruto<unk>'s head. K Kasha I I don't know if can be a mother. I I know I was your choice as godmother due to me being your sensei in the past but I lost Dan and Nawaki. What if I lose Nar? She whispered out as Kusha let out a laugh though it was more coughs than laughs. I I know you can d do this. Why you won't l lose him? I I chose Wu as his G godmother because I saw that Yu could if anything happened to us. D don't let the village use him as a weapon. PR protect him and love him for the both of us, she said before she smiled at her and turned her attention down towards the now quiet baby. I I love you, Nar, my pecious baby, Kusha said with a weak but happy smile as her eyes finally closed and her chest stopped moving, her hand still on the sleeping baby's head. I'll try my best, Kusha. I promise. Ei will look after Narut and try my best to be a mother to him. Sununade thought as she gently took Kusha<unk>s hand off Nar, giving it one last squeeze before she stood up just as her sensei and a squad of ambu appeared behind her. I didn't expect you to be here. I thought you were back with Shazun. Hi said with a frown as he noticed the scene before him. She's safe back in Konaha near the Senju compound. I should get back to her, she said as Hirozen pointed towards the sleeping Narudo in her arms. Is that who I think is and is he what I think he is? He asked as Sunsunade narrowed her eyes. His name is Narut and yes he is but as his godmother. If you think I'm going to allow him to be used as a weapon because of it, then you have another thing coming, Sensei. She growled out before Hiro and frowned and sighed. I understand, but we still need you and him present for the council meeting before you leave, he said. Even while sununade wanted to object, the look on her sensei's face told her this wasn't a request. Plus, as an active ninja and son, she didn't have room to argue. "Fine, send Anbu when you need us," she said bluntly before she started to walk back towards Konaha. Holding the sleeping Narudo close to her, she didn't slow down as she speedwalked through the forest, unable to jump, but made sure that his blue blanket wrapped around him to protect him from the cold wind. It surprisingly didn't take her long to return to Konaha. She moderately chocked it up to her being so focused on everything she would need to raise and take care of the little baby that slept calmly in her arms and against her chest. She was brought out of her thoughts as she heard a familiar voice calling out to her. Lady Sununade, Lady Sununade, thank goodness you are all right," Shazun, her 14-year-old student and the niece of her dead lover, said as she rushed up to her before stopping and looking wideeyed at the baby in her arms. "As that," she asked before nodded, stopping her question midway through. "Yes, it is Kusha and Manato<unk>'s son. His name is Narut. Now because of a terrible tragedy, I am taking up my role as godmother to raise him sooner than I ever exacted. She said with a frown as Shazun, who was rather close to Kosa, who she saw as an aunt or even a sister, teared up but nodded. Well, we better get him inside and cleaned up. We the young girl asked as she turned away. Most likely to hide the tears heard in her voice. Yes, you are right, Ladyad. I'll go and look for a cradle and some blankets for him, Shazun quickly said as she hurried back into the compound with Sununade slowly behind her. I will have to leave soon with Narudo for a council meeting with Hirozen. So get everything ready for Narudo and pack our things. As I plan to leave tomorrow by noon latest, she said as Shizun nodded. Understood Lady Sununade. I'll get our things ready, her student said before she rushed off to look through some of the large Senu compound. Though couldn't help but sigh softly before a slight smile grew on her lips as the still sleeping Narut nuzzled against her chest more, seeking out any warmth nearby to him. Shish e wouldn't consider herself fully into the thought of being his mom so quickly, but Kusha trusted her and with her last breaths asked her to care for him, so she was determined to protect him and try her best. Though the sight of a rather adorable baby nuzzling against her for warmth was enough to stir something in her chest, as much as she wouldn't admit it. "Ladysunade, I found a cradle and s own blankets for him," Shazun said as she poked her head out from the main living room of the building they had been staying in for the last few months. "Sunady shaking off the odd feeling in her chest, walked into the room to see the small wooden cradle on the floor that was just the right size for Nar. Great timing as I think I can sense Anu coming our way, Sununade said with an annoyed Sig h. As she accepted the blankets from Shazun to wrap Narudo in more just as she was about to pick up the small wooden cradle, three Andu bearing a tiger, dragon, and bore mask appeared behind them, silent as ever. Did sensei get the council put together that quickly? She asked as the dragon nodded. Well, I shouldn't be surprised since he does have a way of gathering people quickly when it is needed, she said as she pointed to the cradle. One of you carry that back with us so I don't have to hold him the whole time as I have a feeling I might have to punch or threaten. Someone she growl d out slightly before the tiger and picked up the cradle and the others motioned for her to follow. Shazoon, you stay here and continue packing. Hopefully this shouldn't take long, she said as Shazoon. E nodded and went back to packing whilesunade followed the Andu out of the compound and towards the Hokag building. As they entered the hoage chamber, she had to struggle not to glare at Danzo as he sat in the middle of the elders. Homier Midokado and Kaharu Utitain on one side of the table. The other side was all of Konaha's dominant clan heads as Hiashi Hayuga, Fugaku, Uchiha, Ininoi, Yamanaka, Chosa, Akamichi, Shikaku, Nara, Shibi, Abarame, and Sum Inazuka all sat together. And of course, at the head of the table was her sensei, Hisan Serbi back in his hokag garb, which told her he add taken back up the mantle of Hokag after Manato's death. She didn't mind that since she'd rather have him back in power than allow someone like Danzo to slip into power. Sununade, sorry to call you. So soon after everything, but with you planning to leave as soon as possible, this meeting had to be called. Here isn't frowned as she shrugged her shoulders, directing the ambu to set the cradle in the room. Whatever. Just let's make this quick since I have a lot to figure out and plan because of this little guy, she said as she gently set Narut down in the cradle, making sure he was safely wrapped up and warm. I'm sorry, but I don't believe it is best for the village if you take Argenturi from the village. Danzo quickly seemed to chime in as the other elders who were basic. Lee, his parents that went along with whatever he said, nodded alongside him. Well, I'm sorry, but as his godmother and closest living relative, seeing as my grandmother was Midito Uzumaki, I don't believe you have say over what I do with my godson. Sununade growled out as Hirozen quickly cleared his throat to stop the two from starting any arguments. Wait, the little guy over there is actually the new gentury of the Kaobi soon said in shock since to place a burden like that on a newborn baby was a bit much. I figure it was the only way for Manato to subdue the Kaobi as it is n impossible to kill a Biju. And it goes without saying that this bit of info is an S-rank secret and not to be repeated under any means unless with my approval, Hisan said, ending with a very serious tone. Tat left for no argument as the others nodded. Look, Sensei Kusha tasked me with the job of godmother. Hell, she told me with her last breath to do it. I don't care if I am labeled a missing nin for leaving with him. I will raise him and I won't do it here. She said as she slammed her hands on the table and stared her sensei dead in the eyes. There is no need to go that farsunade. No one is go in to label you as a missing nin. He said a small barely visible smirk on his face as he watched the shocked looks on the elders while a few of the clan heads frowned slightly. Here is you can't be serious. If our village loses our genturi, it will greatly weaken our village. Kaharu said as Hirozen sighed. Really? And how is a little newborn baby going to keep our village strong right now? What better person to train him than his godmother who is a son? He asked Kaharu who frowned before he turned to sununade. Which is why I will let sununade take Narudo to raise him how she sees f it. But there are two conditions. He said asunade knew there was always a catch. And these conditions are she asked with a frown before hiren held up one finger. First is that you will train H. I am as you see fit and by the time he reaches 16 when he would graduate the academy you bring him back to Konaha. This does not mean you have to train him but knowing you you'll want him to at least be able to defend himself. He said asade frowned. Do we really have to return to the village? She asked as her inside. Yes. I would think his parents would want him to have some ties to tea. He village at least, he said as she groan, but nodded as she was in no place to argue right now. Fine, whatever. What is the second condition? She asked as her sensei chuckled and held up a second finger. You must keep in constant contact with either myself or Jeriah, who I will send from time to time to check in on you, Nar, and his seal, he said as Homer stood up, slamming a hand on the table. Here is you honestly can't be considering lettingsunade who has a problem with drinking and gambling to raise a child let alone our "Jurki" he yelled in outrage as Sunsunade slammed her hand down on the table, creating a rather large crack through the middle from the force of it and the strength behind it. "I believe I can raise a child since I am a world-renowned medic. Plus all, have you know since living here for the last few months, I have gotten my drinking and gambling in check. How about you shut up about what you don't know? She growled as Shikaku sighed. How troublesome. Just let the woman take the kid as the benefits outweigh any downsides I can see. In the end, we get a possible shinobi trained by Asanine. If Jeriah's last student became a Hokag in her curry NT student is shaping to be a skillful medic, imagine how serious she will be training her godchild. Shikaku said as he sighed, crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. I have to agree with Xi Kaku here as I do not see a large enough downside to make any objections to this especially since he will be returning at 16 in. Shibi Aborame said as he adjusted his sunglasses. I still object to this. We need to make our Genturki strong, strong enough to defend themselves as I doubt he will be if he is trained to be solely a medic. If anyone is to raise and train a child, I would best be someone. Who can ensure he will be powerful? Danzo said, narrowing his lone eye ever so slightly towards Sununade. You may object all you want, Danzo, but I approve of this and have the utmost faith that Sununade will protect and care for him. Plus, this will be a great opportunity for Narut to see more of the land of fire and grow compared to just being stuck in the village. Hi said as sununade grew. Smile on her face from her sensei's words. So, I am free. Leave with the kid tomorrow. She asked as Hirozen nodded. Yes, but do come with me to my office as I have some things I would like to give to you privately and this was the final topic of the meeting. he said before sununade nodded already expecting her sensei to have things prepared for her as he was the kind of man to think fast and get things set up even faster even in his old age you all know what is needed to fix up the village if there are any troubles please contact meen said as the shinobi clan heads nodded before d sappering via shunshin and the elders just slowly got up and walked off though Danzo had a thinly veiled glare directed towards her and Nar bore can you careully Y carry Narudo and follows Sununade and me to my office. Hi asked as the Anbu nodded and very carefully picked up the cradle before walking off beside them up to his office. "Please set Narut down and return to your post," he said as the Anbu nodded, setting the cradle down next toad's chair and disappeared via Shanhen. Hien could only sigh with a sad frown as he looked down at the sleeping baby in the cradle. four Manato and Kusha to die so quickly after little Narudo was born as a tragedy. I do not know who could have possibly released the Kaobi from Kusha, but I will find out," Hisan said, his eyes fill. Ed with a fury Sununade had seen very rarely, and it always ended with someone gravely injured or dead. "Do you have any idea who could have possibly done it?" asked as she sat down in the chair next to Narut, slowly rocking the cradle while she watched her sensei sit down behind his desk. "The only ones possible to control a Biju and pull it out as an uchiha, but my gut and everything." Ih avenue scene and felt tells me it isn't an uiha in the village, Hisan said as nodded along, trusting her sensei's judgment since he wasn't called the professor for nothing. Well, that just breeds more trouble, she said with a frown as Hirozen nodded but waved it off. I can look into it more in depth later though. Right now, I have some things to give you. Some things Manado and Kasha l behind for either you or Jeriah should one of you take up your mantle of Godparent, he said as he inserted a small glass cylinder into a drawer, making it pop open before putting the two scrolls inside on top of the desk. This is the bank documents for Kusha and Manato's account, totaling in enough Rio to take care of you, him, and Shazun for the foreseeable future. Kusha had a sizable e fortune that her family gave her before sending her over, and Monado saved up a lot while working as Hokag, he said as he handed it over to Sununade. Well, that solves the expenses needed to raise a baby right off the bat, Sununade said as she was thankful for it since while she might not be in debt from gambling anymore, that didn't mean she had that big of a fortune to keep her and Shazoon aloat, let alone a baby as well. Hi couldn't help but chuckle a bit at his students comment before picking up the second one. This though is empty. Kusha instructed me to tell whichever godp parentent that accepted the role to seal up every weapon and scroll in their house and to use this. He said as he put a small vial of blood up on the desk to unlock the house as it is locked by an immensely strong blood seal. He said as will this thing seriously be able to hold everything in it? She asked as she wasn't too well-versed in seals as the extent of her knowledge of the topic extended to her yin seal on her forehead. Manado made sure of it. It might look small, but it has the storage strength and capacity of the highquality larger scrolls. It is also only able to be opened and sealed. B. Why Naruto and one other person that I add to the seal matrix which I have already done for you? Hi added asunade let out an impressed whistle as she looked over the scroll. Manado really went all out with this didn't he? She said as Hisan chuckled. Well, he did want everything of both his and Kashinas put in there, both weapon and technique scrolls for their son. You can give the co and tense of it to him when he eventually becomes either a jennon or chunin depending on your call. Here said asunade nodded understandingly before slipping the items into her pockets. I'll be sure to go and seal up everything after I get the little guy back to my compound where Shizun can watch over him for a bit, she said while her nodded. I am surprised you are so quick to take the role e of godmother even if it was somewhat forced by Kusha's last wish. Does this mean you are welcoming the role as godmother and mother? He asked as sununade sighed and frowned. No, in fact I'm ter ied. Sununade said as she clenched her fists and stared down at the sleeping baby beside her. I'm afraid I won't be a well enough mother to him or that you might lose him like you did Dan and Nawaki. Here finished for her as the sight of her fists clenching tighter was an answer on its own. Kusha trusted you before her death and she had faith in you until her death. You are stronger and wiser now. With every loss we suffer, it makes us stronger in its own way. Today I lost my dear wife Boako by the hands of the one who led to the deaths of Naruto's parents. he said as sununade. S eyes widened at the death of her sensei's wife, a woman that had been like another mother to her. But I will not allow her death to weaken messunade. It will only strengthen my drive to protect ti closest to me and grow stronger to make sure I can protect them. Please, I believe in youade, so believe in yourself, her sensei said with such a caring tone that she couldn't bring herself tea. Oh, look him in the face or else she knew she would possibly start to cry again. I<unk>ll try my best, Sensei. I really will, she said as he chuckled. That is all I can ask. And remember, you aren't alone. You have me, Jeriah. Shazun, and now Nar standing beside you when he can, he said, smiling as he heard Sununade chuckle with a smile of her own on her face while she crouched down beside the cradle. I know, she said with a soft sigh before picking Narut up out of his cradle, careful not to wake him as she adjusted him in her arms. I really better get the little guy back as he is bow n to be hungry soon and I still have to figure that out. Plus the whole packing my stuff and his stuff to leave tomorrow is going to be a chore. She said as her and nodded and motioned for an ambu to appear. Go take the cradle back to the Senju compound main building for sununade please as she has to carry Nar. he said as the ambu nodded and disappeared with the cradle before he turned back to sununade. "Do let me know if I can help in any way. I know I am going to be busy tomorrow with the full aftermath of the attack, but I always have time for my students," he added as sununade smiled and nodded before walking towards the door. "I know, sensei. Thanks again as always," she said as she and Narudo left. As much as she liked talking with her sensei, she had a lot of stuff to do before Dabria K and she needed to get started so she could at least get some sleep in before they left. "Come on, little guy. Let's get you in a bassinet or something for the night," she said in a soft whisper as the small baby in her arms nuzzled closer to her for warmth. Next day, thankfully, they had been able to get everything packed and get him fed with enough time to let them get a good night's sleep. thanked fully. Nar seemed to be a heavy sleeper after getting a full meal in him. Though to feed Nar, she had to somewhat modify her body a bit with a medical technique she had learned back when she was wi than for the case of if ever they had kids and she couldn't naturally produce milk. Originally, it was a technique made for maids or mothers who adopted so they could still feed the children they cared for or adopted. She knew she had to do it for Narut considering he was a newborn and formula was something she wanted to get him on eventually. "Are you okay, Lady Sununade? If you want to rest more, I can look after Narudo for you after we find an inn," Shazun said as she shook her head. "No, I'm fine. We really need to keep moving so we can reach the town I have planned for us to stay in for AW." "Hiland, get settled down before it gets too late," she said as they had left Konaha an hour or two ago. After a farewell from a shadow clone of her sensei, something she understood since the whole vil. Lege was hectic to repair and recover, meaning the hokag was even busier. They continued through the forests of the land of fire towards the village she had in mind until she started to notice Naruto's fussing in Shizun<unk>s arms. "Naru Chan, what's wrong? You don't need a diaper, and you were just sleeping," Shizun said confused as Sununade chuckled and gently took the fussing baby from her students arms. Relax, Shazoon. The little guy is just hungry. Isn't the right Nar? She asked in a baby voice as she rubbed his cheek, settling him down in one arm as she began nursing him discreetly. S he wasn't too worried about others, seeing as she couldn't sense anyone nearby. She did though chuckle at her students embarrassed and nervous look as Shyun looked away. A relaxed Shazoon. It's<unk> a perfectly natural thing. No need to get embarrassed, she teased as Shazoon only got redder. Shazun mumbled as she stared down at her own still developing chest as she was only 14. She said as she no te ced. A look of hope in Shazoon<unk>s eyes that made her laugh a bit before Shazun looked over at her. S. So how does it feel? Does it hurt? Shazun asked as her curiosity got the better of her. It feels weird but doesn't hurt, especially since the little guy doesn't have any teeth. He does definitely drink a lot though, she said with a chuckle as Shazun nodded while they continued walking. By the tea, Eay. They had reached the towns had set up for them to stay in, which had taken a few hours. Narudo had finished eating and gone back to sleep in Shazun<unk>s arms as all newborns did mostly was eat, sleep, and go to the bathroom. Thankfully, he wasn't messy when it came to the last part. So why did you choose this town for us to stay in Lady Sununade? Shazun asked asunade unlocked the large house in front of them. Well, it's a good distance away from Konaha, so we don't have to worry about the bothering us. And this is one of the Senju compounds that were set up long before Konaha was formed, so it's a rent-free house, and it like the others around the land of fire have been locked so others can't enter them. Though it's<unk> not like there is anything of value in them, Sununade said as she pushed open the gates to reveal the slightly dusty insides. We might have to do some cleaning before we bring Naru Chan inside, Shizun said as the dust was quite thick. I'll make some shadow clones to do it. For now, let's<unk> go out to the courtyard and maybe start unpacking there, Sununade said as Shun shielded the sleeping Naruto's mouth from breathing in the dust while they walked through the house and out into the inner courtyard. Well, this house looks very nice and large. How long will we be staying here? Shazun asked as she watched the shadow clones of her sensei go through and see. Lean up the house while they unpack the boxes of their stuff. Well, with a baby, I don't want to move around all that much. So, for the foreseeable future, we will be staying here and settling down. asked "Er, we unpack. We can go to the market and stock up on some food and set up our account," she said as she crouched down, smiling down and fluttering her fingers at a giggling Narudo that laid in a cradle next to them. "I want to give him a moderately stable upbringing, Shazun. So, let's<unk> get comfy here," she said as Shazun smiled and nodded before they continued unpacking their things, looking forward to their life in this nice little town. A month later, "Here you go, Katsuyu. You can now take this to Sensei. Thank you for doing this for me, she said as the small portion of her main summon. Nada nd allowed her to slip the scroll into the pouch she had put on her. Of course, sununade sama. It is a small task to ensure you may look after Narudkum, Katsuyu said as she looked down at Narudo from on top of the short desk used focus on work and Narudo at the same time. He is an adorable child. Do you plan to have him sign the slug summoning contract? Katsuyu asked as Sunsunade frowned and rubbed her forehead. I I don't know, Katsuyu. Sensei said, "I have a choice whether or not to train him, but a part of me wants to and doesn't want to. I want him to be able to defend himself." But Ano the is scared he<unk>ll end up like the others, she said as Katsuyu knew she meant Dan and Nawaki. I understand and whatever decision you decide, I'm sure it will be for the best. After all, I think raising him will awaken your mother's intuition. Katsuyu teased before disappearing in a puff of smoke, leaving behind a grumbling tsunady. Her grumbles stopped as she narrowed her eyes in anger. Sensing three chakra sources heading their way that were trying their best to stay hidden. Though with her level of sensing, the only one she figured could slip by her senses were either Orochimaru for sure. And D, possibly Jeriah, if he was actually being serious. Acting as fast as she could without waking Narudo, she carried the sleeping baby out of the room and towards his room, which thanks to Jera sending some seals back via Katsuyu. Was the most secure room in the house. Lady Sununady, are you okay? Shun asked as she entered the room to see her student cleaning up Naruto's room a bit. Stay here with Nar. I think I feel some pests heading our way, she said as Shun frowned, but accepted a sleeping Narud into her arms. Do you need my help? Shazun asked as she shook her head, putting a paper tag on Naruto's forehead, which harmlessly absorbed a very small bit of chakra before pulling it off him. You look after him while I use this to lure them out,"Sunady said as she headed out of the room before stopping and looking back at them. "If anyone slips by me to you, then you know what to do," she added as Shazun nodded, gaining a nervous but serious look. "Oh, of course, Lady Su nod." E, her student said before Sununade grabbed one of Naruto<unk>'s extra teddy bears and blankets before she closed the door behind her. She continued heading out towards the courtyard as she felt Shazun act. Ivet the security seals on the room before deciding to wait for whoever were clearly heading their way through the back of the large compound. She quickly slapped the tag on the bear before wrapping it in a blanket in hopes to fool those coming. Thankfully, she was able to do it just in time. As the next second, three ambu clad in dark cloaks appeared across her in the courtyard. Immediately, she Kay knew they weren't sent by her sensei as the long dark hooded cloaks were not regular ambu attire. That in the blandness of their masks screamed something wrong. Sununade senju were have orders to read her. I have the child in your care from you and return them to ensure they get the proper training to be of use to the village. the center and said as sununade narrowed her eyes immediately aware who sent them after her. I hope Danzo knew he was sending his route to their deaths after sending them after Asanine. Though he<unk>ll figure that out once I send your heads back to him and senseiad said bef or she quickly tossed the bundle towards them causing one anu to leap up to catch it only for it to explode in his face and send his limp body falling back towards the ground. She didn't waste any time before she leapt towards the anu on the left, drawing her fist back and charging up her super strength as she seemed to have caught them off guard. She heard a somewhat sickening crunch as her F. East collided with their sternum and sent them crashing into the courtyard wall, leaving a deep imprint from the force of the crash. As the last one realized the quick deaths of his two allies, he made a quick choice to retreat before a familiar chakra flared above them both. summoning art, food cart destroyer." A familiar voice yelled out before a large toad appeared above the last Andbu before it crashed down. Instantly, killing them under the toad's immense weight. So, I made it just in time, it seems. The voice said as she looked up to see Jeriah smiling down at her before dispelling the Toad and stepping to the side to avoid the dead body. I could have handled them. They were severely overwhelmed and not ready for me to attack. Guess they figured I would be on the defense concidering. They thought Narudo was in my arms, she said before her eyes widened. I need to check on them to make sure Narudo and Shazun are safe, she said as she wanted to make sure. Absolutely 100% that tea. Here weren't any fourth and that sneaked in another way. What should I do with the bodies? Jeriah yelled understanding why was rushing off like she was. Send them to Sensei. Tell him Danzo sent them. She yelled before she deactivated the security seal to see Shazun holding a crying Narudo in her arms. Both completely unharmed and safe. Are they taken care of lady? Shiz. Un asked before nodded and she handed Narudo over to her. Good because I think Naru Chan is hungry after being woken up by the crashes. She said as sununade chuckled and accepted Narudo into her arms. Of course the little guy is hungry. He just had a super long nap, didn't he? She said using her baby voice that made Nar giggle and clap his hands happily. "Stop being a pervert," she yelled before stopping as she heard Nar giggle louder, which made her start laughing. "All little Naru, do you like it when I hit the pervert?" "You are just so adorable." She squealled a bit while she nuzzled her cheek against his. She stopped though as she heard Jeriah get back up behind her. Did you at least send the bodies to Sensei before you came over to perve out? She asked as Jeriah gained a serious look on his face and nodded. I sent them express delivery with the toads with a clear message. Sensei should be having some Yamanaka go through their minds and charging Danzo with whatever crime he can make stick. I'm just glad I sensed them while I was making my way over. Jeriah said as he personally would have liked to hit that old war hawk with a reengon, but decided Sensei would get him for both him and "Good. I expected that man to try something, but I didn't know he'd be that upfront with it," Sununade said before looking towards Jeriah with a raised brow. "Well, are you going to leave the room? I have to feed Nar," she said as Jeriah waved it off. "Don't worry, please continue. Act like I'm not even here. He said before he was sent flying again by a strong kick, allowing her to close the door. Pervert, she grumbled as before calming down the giggling Narudo enough so that he could start feeding. Konaha. A few hours later, Hisen was beyond furious as he looked over the reports from the three attackers minds that Jera had delivered to him via toads. Danzo, you had absolutely no right to ever do any of this. sending three of your rude ambu after. My student and a child is enough to have you imprisoned for treason, Hisan said as he glared across at his former teammate. To him, Danzo still had the cold and calm appearance, but he could see the man sweating on the inside. I did what I had to for the vil. You don't get to decide that. You do not get to go behind my back and decide to do whatever you want. Here interrupted him as the last thing he wanted to hear was Danzo trying to weasle his way out of this. As of an hour ago, your route has been disbanded. Every base of yours, both above and underground, have been cleared, and any route that resisted was captured or killed. "You will be under constant watch for the foreseeable future, and your title as elder has been removed," Hien said as Danzo narrowed his soul eye. "You cannot do this, Hirzen," Danzo growled out as Hirzan glared back. "I am the Hokag. I hold the final say about anything in this village with only the daimo above my word. You should be counting your blessings. I am only putting you under severe house arrest and not executing you here and now, he said in a cold tone before motioning for his ambu to appear. Take this man away and ensure everything is taken care of. I don't want him in front of me anymore. His said before the ambu nodded and guided Danzo out of the room. The elder Hokag let out a long and slow tired sigh before handing a scroll to a toad that hopped back up onto his desk after Danzo had left. Please get this back to Jeriah. Tell him I hope he understands. But with that incident, I'd feel safer with him closer to Narudo for the tea. Eay being he said as the toad nodded and disappeared in a puff of smoke. I hope this didn't upset you too much, but your quick actions should have proven to you how serious you are taking things. I just hope this was an isolated incident, Hisen thought while he lit his pipe, desperately needing it to relax after everything that had just happened. But in the end, at least Narudo was safe. Four years later, Narudo smiled as he held his sissy's hand while they walked through the market. Over the four years, he had grown to be a healthy height. For his age, while he wore a pair of blue shorts, a black shirt, and some blue sandals that his mama had picked out for him. Now, Naru Chan, you make sure to stay close by and hold my hand at all times. I told your mama I'd look after you and K. EP, you safe. and you said you'd be a good boy for her and listen to me," Shazun said as he nodded with a big smile. "Okay, [ __ ] I'll be super good," he said with a serious look on his little face. "That only made Shazun giggle and pat his head. That's my little guy now. Let's go before all the good stuff is gone." She said before he nodded and walked alongside her with a happy smile. He enjoyed spend ding time with his [ __ ] and shopping was fun whether it be with his mom or her. Plus, whenever he went shopping with them, they gave him candy if he was a good boy. Everything was fun as he helped car. Rye bags for his [ __ ] before he frowned as she and everyone around him froze and they all became gray. [ __ ] are you okay? He asked in a worried tone as he set down the bags and poked his [ __ ] on her cheek. "It is okay, young boy. I merely made it so we can talk alone, a voice said before he turned around to see an old man smiling down at him with weird purple eyes and what looked like horns on his forehead. My mama told me not to talk to strangers. "Can you fix my sissy?" he asked with a frown, slightly moving behind his [ __ ] to put some space between him and the old man. "She has raised you really well, Naro. Better than you would have lived alone," the man said as Nar frowned. How do you know my name, mister?" he asked while the man chuckled and stroked his beard. "Well, you can say I'm a friend of someone close to you," the man said, pointing towards his stomach, which made it get all warm and his head hurt a little bit. "Not now, my son. Let me get to what I came here for," he added before the headache disappeared. "Naro, I came here to offer you something," he said as he reached into his odd coat while crouching down and pulled out in one hand pulled out two scrolls. one a dark gray color and the other a soft red with red swirls while the other hand held a small fruit. The fruit like the scroll was red with swirls on it. It was also the size of a strawberry and in fa court looked like one but was also the shape of a heart. What is that? Is it a strawberry? He asked as the man chuckled and looked the fruit over. I guess it does look like a strawberry but unlike one, it is much more special. This is a very special fruit I grew myself for you to eat with your mother training you in mind. Since she is a doctor, she'd be the perfect person to help you use its powers, he said as Nar couldn't help but widen his eyes. Powers? He asked as the man smirked and nodded. Yeah, powers that will help you protect those special to you. You can keep your mother and ceased. Are uncle safe as well as those you meet in the future? He said while Nar frowned, contemplating eating the small fruit. Take it. A deep voice spoke before Narudo looked around erratically. Who said that? He asked nervously before the old man smiled softly. Thank you, my son. I do hope you'll help this boy as he is going to be the one I told you and your siblings about. He said before N. Aruto frowned and felt another warm feeling in his stomach. Take it Nar. This man can be trusted. I promise. And I'll explain who I am later. If he is showing up, then this is something serious. Th e same voice spoke only much quieter and calmer. Nar wasn't sure, but something about the voice made him nod and step out behind his frozen [ __ ] Okay, mister, but will the fruit taste? Good, he asked Ed as he took the scrolls from the man's one hand, slipping them in his pockets before the man handed him the small fruit. You just need to eat everything of it up to the stem. Leave a bit behind so you can show it to your mother," the man said as Narut nodded and accepted the fruit into his hand. "Okay, but what is your name, mister?" he asked before the man stood up just as Nar bit into the now gross tasting fruit. "Hagurromo Oatsuki," he said, just as Narut started to pass out and fall backwards. "Use that power well, my young boy. I know you will change things in this world for the better, and my son will help you do so." He finished before his form faded and time started again. Thinking back, she figured the time she fully accepted the role and term as mother was when Narut first called her mama. Even just remember that scene brought a smile and happy tears to the corners of her eyes. Flashback. I'll keep his attention. Lady, Shazun said as she held up his little slug plushy that instantly got his attention in the form of trying to reach out to grab it. Now you are going to be good boy for your mommy aren't you? She asked little Nar as he giggled and clapped his hands. Ma Nar cooed out as he turned around trying to look towards Sununade. The second the words left Naruto's mouth both Shazun andsunade froze before sununade quickly rushed over Nay XT to Nar to see him smiling up at her and grabbing for her asking to be held. D did he Jay just say what I think he did? asked as Narut tilted his head in slight confusion and tried to make his little hands reach her. "Mama," Narut asked as sununade was frozen solid before a strong warmth grew in her chest and she just felt something click or fall into place. She smiled as she gentl why picked up him up from his chair and held him close to her, the smile growing as he patted his tiny hands against her cheeks with his little giggle. She couldn't stop the tears as they poured down he our face as Shazun watched with matching tears. For these last six months, she only felt a terrible feeling in her gut every time anyone referred to her as Naruto's mother, fearing that each time it would endanger Nar more. That or it gave her the feeling like she had stolen Kusha's role from her despite being asked by Kusha to raise Nar. Yes, I'm your mama, she whispered as she no longer felt a pang of guilt associate with the word. Flashback end. Ever since then, she had basically taken up the role as mom, even more so, and so far hasn't regret a single moment of it. She honestly loved Narut like he was her own. Of course, due to her past, this made her somewhat of an overprotective mother, though not like anyone could blame her. She frowned, sipping at her sake as she was a buy t nervous about Shazun and Narudo out at the market, but she trusted her student to look after her son. But as Shazun burst into the room with an unconscious Narudo in her arms, her world froze and she ran towards them. What happened? She yelled as Shazun fell to the ground, tears in her eyes before sununade crouched down and accepted Narudo from her. I I I don't know. Oh, one second. and Naru Cha N was H holding my hand as we were shopping and the next he fell over unconscious. I I dropped everything and Rushed over. Shazun choked out as she wiped her tears, the fear of something being wrong. G with the kid she saw as a little brother being too painful for her. Mystical palm over him in search of anything that could have caused him to pass out. Was there anything on him or around him we and he passed out like a sunb on the ground or anything? Sununade asked as there was no poison or anything in his system. Jay just this in his hand and these in his pocket, Shazun said as she handed tea. "Son ate a halfeaten strawberry and two scrolls." I I wasn't looking away from him for more than a second to place an order at the deli before he fell over. I I Oh god, I'm sorry. Lady, Shazoon choked out before calmed her down by pulling her in for a hug. Sh. Shazun, you did nothing wrong. and he isn't hurt only asleep. The only thing worrying me is the fruit and how he ate it. Wii without you noticing which makes me think a Jenjutsu might have been used said calming Shazun down as her student hugged her tightly. Can you please take Naru Chan to his room? I need to loo K over this fruit and scrolls you found on him. Can you also call Jera back from his research at the bath house? Sununade said having a bit of a hiss at the end before Shazum who had just finished wiping away her tears. Nodded and gently picked up Nar. Our right away, Lady Sununade, she said before walking off with Nar in her arms while Sununade frowned and stood up. She didn't waste any more time before she hurried off to her office of sorts in this house and set down the scrolls on her desk with the strawberry next to it. She didn't need to waste the time analyzing it as it was the wrong color, had odd designs on it, and its stem was irregular. "Maybe these scrolls have something about it," she thought as she unrolled the scroll with the same markings as the supposed fruit o nly y to widen her eyes as she read what was in the scroll. "This can't be true. This is just insane." thought as she reread through it several times until she got to the point she lost track of the times she read it. a voice yelled behind her as the person tapped her shoulder, snapping her out of her days before she spun around and slammed her fist out of instinct into Jeriah with a furious glare. Ow! What was that for? I was trying to get your attention since you didn't respond to anything else. Jeriah yelled before she strengthened her glare. That doesn't mean cop a feel. Especially not when Naru Chan passed out earlier today. she yelled before Jeriah held his hands up in surrender. "Sorry, I understand the seriousness and I'm sorry," he said as sununade side and sat back down at her desk. Which made him let out a sigh of relief. Shazun told me what happened to the kid. "Is that the fruit he ate?" "Was it poisoned?" he asked as shook her head and handed him the red swirled scroll. No, just read and tell me what you think. Cause apparently that is what he ate. She said as Jeriah rose an eyebrow but sat down on the ground and opened the scroll. While he read the scroll, she poured them each a saucer of sake which she passed to a shocked looking Jera who downed it in one chug. This can't be true, Jeriah said as held up the bit of leftover fruit that Narudo had kept. From what is leftover, it looks like this supposed OP no am I fruit. I haven't read the other scroll yet as I'm still trying to wrap my head around olive tea. His first sun said as she found it almost unbelievable. The op no mi according to the scroll was something called a paramea type devil fruit. She in all her years has never heard of an why thing remotely close to a devil fruit. But then again the elemental nations was full of odd things. What made her unsure of the fruit was the supposed power to have whoever ate it be able to create a space around them where they had complete control over the placement and orientation of everything inside. The applications and benefits a fruit like this could have under the control of a medic like her or any highclass surgeon were astronomical. It honestly made her all the more unsure of it since it felt like someone gave it to Nar knowing he was with her, someone who could train him to be a medic. So, do you think he really ate it or that this is even real? Jeriah asked as he started to reread the scroll, holding up his saucer for a refill which she filled for him. I don't know, four. Now, we consider it both real and fake until solid proof is shown, she said while Jeriah nodded and sipped at the sake. Does this mean you are going to train him? Jeriah asked in a low tone. Naui ing it was a sore topic forsunade given her fear of losing Narudo. I guess now I have to. so I can at least make sure he doesn't end up accidentally using this perennial youth operation on someone accidentally. It goes without saying that that specific technique is never to be mentioned, not even to Sensei. I will not have Orochimaru hunting down my son because of his desire to be immortal. She saw it with a deadly glare that Jera nodded along to without even looking up at her. I agree. That is the last thing we need. he said before the door opened as Shazun stood at the door with head down. "Ladysunade, I have laid down Naru Chan in his room. I would like to again apologize for allowing this to happen while I was watching him," Shazun said before sununade quickly pulled her into a hug. "It isn't your fault, and I don't want you to blame yourself." "Naru Chan isn't in any harm, and he<unk>ll be fine, or better than fine once he wakes up, so please don't be hard on yourself." Sununady s aid before Shazun hugged her back and cried into her shoulder relieved that Narudo was safe and okay. I'm going to go check on Naru Chan. So please, if you can, can you go back to the market and get our food? Jeriah or a clone of Jeriah. Can you go along to help her? Said before turning to Jeriah, who had already summoned a shadow clone in a henge as was normal whenever he went into town to avoid being noticed. I'm going to read the next scroll to see what it says. When he wakes up, see what happened and how he got and ate this fruit. Jeriah said asunade nodded and rubbed she zoos back before she and Jeriah's clone left the house. She sighed as she sat on the edge of his bed, petting his head softly while she waited for him to wake up before he did start to finally stir after a minute or so. Nar grumbled as he turned towards her with a frown, his eyes opening slowly before he saw her and his frown changed to a smile. "Mama, you<unk>ll never believe the dream I had a bout of fruit and an old man," he said before she frowned with a sigh. "If the fruit looked like this," she said, holding up the leftovers of the op. "No, am I, then it wasn't a dream," she finished in a stern tone, making him frown and stare down at the bed. "You had me and Shazoon worried sick." Shazun thought something had happened to you under her watch and I was scared that you were in danger. I've e told you many times not to take things from strangers or eat things given to you from strangers that myself or Shazoon don't say if it is okay beforehand. She scolded him as he started to sniffle and cry. I am s sorry mama. I I knew I wasn't supposed to be but the old man knew my end name and this voice out of nowhere said I should. Narudo sobbed out while he tried to stop his tears as he w sad that he disappointed his mom and made both her and his [ __ ] worry. "I am sorry, mama," he said. His voice muffled into her chest before she smiled softly and kissed the top of his head. "It's okay. I but I don't want this happening again." And you owe Shazun an apology as well. "Now come on. And your pervert of a godfather is worried about you as well. She said before she gently picked him up, moving him so he was crying into her shoulder before he nodded and wrapped his arms around her neck. There is no way there can be any decay on it this earlier at all. His seal is the strongest genturi seal out there. Plus, there is the name of the old man Haguro Osatsuki. That is the name of the sage of the six paths in all recorded legends of him. Jeriah said asunade sighed and downed the saucer of sake in her hand. Not being one to drink nearly as much as she used to with Narut around. But after a day like this, she needed a little extra. What did you find in the second scroll? She as Ked as Jeriah rubbed his forehead with a groan. According to the scroll, the boy might have another power in him called haki. Apparently, it can allow its user to sense spiritual energy, use life force to defend oneself and overpower enemies with your willpower. Those are the basic things as sensing spiritual energy also acts like the sharing<unk>s ability to predict the movements of others among other things, he said. Already feeling a headache from everything this changed and could bring on for the young kid. I also looked over the op Nomi<unk>'s powers and based on the notes made by Hagaro Mo himself. It might be best if later down the line we teach Narut how to use a sword alongside being a medic and a surgeon, Jeriah added, expecting a refusal from Sununade only to get a nod from her. He<unk>ll use Kusha's sword and we<unk>ll look for a teacher, she said, not needing to even look at Jeriah to know the somewhat shocked look on his face. You can stop looking at me like that. It's not surprising when you think about it. If he really has all of these powers, it would be more stupid if we didn't train him to handle them or use them. My main concern is keeping my son safe. Jeriah, if t reigning him ensures he won't die like Dan or Nawaki, then so be it. She said before she stood up and cracked her neck. We start really training him when he turns six, giving us 10 years after that, too. Get him to a level to ensure he will be safe. until he becomes six. We'll focus on awakening his chakra and chakra control. We'll both train him and he'll sign summoning contracts for both slugs and toads. You use your network to find a teacher to train him with a sword and we'll bring him here. Sununade said as if she was going to do this, then she was going to pull out all the stops as this was one person she refused to lose. Four years later, 8 years until Konaha. Early on in their training, she had been open with him about everything, about the fruit, his latent hockey powers, and even being a gentury. All of which he had accepted better than they had thought. She also made it clear that he didn't have to, as she was not going to force him to do anything he didn't want to do. But duh, NK fully, it seemed being a medic was something he wanted to do, and the fruit only magnified it. You are doing really good, Naru Chan. Your mystical palm is doing great," Shazun said as she watched Narudo focus on keeping a fish alive. Something he had been doing for the last 5 minutes. Sununade at first was a bit unsure how his chakra control would be with him being the Caobi's genturi as well as an Uzumaki, but two jeras in her surprise his chakra control was as good as any normal kid his age or even better. It made them recall how the Kaobi had told Nar it would help him back with Hagur Romo gave him the op no am I. Okay, but let's see how your room is coming along. Sununade said as Narut stopped his mystical palm and nodded before holding his open hand above the fish. Naruto closed his eyes as he focused his energy in his hand before a circle of what was best described as blue energy spun under his hand. It took a couple months at first to create, the first time being very difficult and taxing. But now he had gotten the hang of creating his room. Room, he said as the circle expanded from his hand, casting the area around him in a thin and faint layer of blue that always showed up inside the room. How does it feel? Sununady asked as he smirked and shrugged his shoulders. It feels fine, Mom. Not really like how it used to be where it was tiring to hold up. I think I even made it larger than last time, he said with a smile, as every time he made a room, they had him do it at this exact spot so they could track the size. "Go check and see how far it reaches." "Last time it was just out to the courtyard. Check the marker we have up," she said before. Shazun nodded and went out to check. "Don't push the size too much, Nar. Focus on keeping it up and stable rather than further out. Once it becomes second nature, then you can spread it out. Better to have it stable than large right now, she warned him as he nodded before Shazun came back. It is a bit larger, at least by a yard or so. I moved the marker now, Shun said while nodded and turned back to him. Now, I want you to amputate the fish, keep it alive, and use tact to manipulate it before piecing it back together perfectly. This time, like the last couple times, I will not mark the fish. amputated in more than once," she said as he nodded and picked up the scalpel next to the fish. He didn't hesitate as he cut the fish into three pieces, its head, body, and tail. There was no blood from the cuts as his amputate ability allowed anything cut in the room without actually harming them. "Tacked," he said as he lifted his two of his fingers upwards, causing the pieces of the fish to float into the air in front of him. tacked alongside another technique of his called shambles allowed him to manipulate anything inside his room. The others watched as the pieces floated in front of him. This exercise helping extend the length of time he can control tact while in his room. Over the years, he had basic control over all of his powers. The only ones that he had true trouble with a few abilities, and the last one was more that he couldn't form it larger than a sunb needle. Okay, that has been 5 minutes. a good two more than last time. I don't want you to tire yourself out yet as you still have hockey training with Jeriah. Now all you have to do is piece them to ethersunade said as he nodded and lowered the pieces of fish back so that they now hovered inches above the table. Narudo focused as he slowly made the pieces move closer before he had the head reattached with the body. He felt his forehead dampen a bit as he was focusing hard on lining them up correctly before he finally connected the tail with the rest. He let out a sigh, dispersing his room B. E for his mom walked over to inspect the fish before she ran her mystical palm over the fish. He was a bit nervous before she nodded with a smile. You pass again. You lined it up greatly. None of the scales seem off like last time, and everything inside the fish lines up and is reconnected as well. We<unk>ll move up to more pieces tomorrow, but you are progressed greatly, she said as she kissed the top. Oo. F his head since while he might be training and growing, he was still her son and little boy. Thanks, Mom. I've been working really hard, he said as she ruffled his hair with a chuckle. I can tell no. Won't push yourself too far with Jeriah as I don't want you to get too tired, she said before he nodded and left the room after giving her and Shazun a hug. He is really progressing greatly. It Inky's well past needing to practice the mystical palm on a fish lady. Shazun said as sununade nodded and sealed away the practice fish before rolling up the scroll. I know but I don't want him using his fruits powers on others yet as he still needs to move up to it. I figure if the Kaobi pitches in the burden will lessen, but from what Naru Chan has said, I think he still needs to talk with it more before it sinks together with him. she said as Naruto's relationship with the Kaobi was odd. The two of them had met a few months ago and while it seemed less than thrilled about being sealed away, it did say it would lend him chakra once the two had connected. According to the Kaobi, because he had only been in Narudo for 8 years, it wasn't enough time to connect their two chakra pathways or acclimate Naruto's to its chakra. It said that forcing the process would make Narut lash out in rage as the body of most genturiki reacted in rage from the raw power of a Buju<unk>s chakra. For now, Narut could access a tailless cloak that could last for about 5 minutes. The Beiju also mentioned how its other main focus would be negating his weakness to water by keeping his body energized as it liked to put it through the seal. Though by doing this, it had unintentionally messed with his chakra nature, giving him not only his natural wind affinity, but an insane water affinity, one that through a message carried to them by Nar could theoretically make him. How her great uncle Tobber was with water. I'm sure he'll grow even more as the days go by. And who knows, by the time he turns 16, he could very well become a medic on your level, Shazun said before smiled and sat back down in her chair. A mother can only hope, she said as she knew he had a long road ahead of him when it came to his training. Two years later, 6 years until Konaha, Narut groaned as he dodged another paint pellet that Jera and his clones fired at him through some launchers in an attempt to train his haki, more specifically his Kbanchoku haki. It was the only of the three haki that he had awakened so far. It more or less was, as Jeriah put it, his observation hockey, and it allowed him to sense others, even those concealed are too far away when he got better at it, as well as limited precognition, which was what Jeriah was training right now. Over the last two years, he had continued training under his mom, sister, and uncle. He had even signed the slug and toad contracts. The slugs being mainly for helping his healing and toads for combat. Mainly over the years, he trained more in his fruits powers, tai jutsu, haki, and even some chakra exercises that would help him use wind and water jutsu. Another thing that had progressed over the years was his in the cube eyes connection to where he could now use one tail of its chakra. This one tail was a major boost, especially when he channeled it into his devil fruit abilities to power them instead of summoning a cloak around him. Right now, he was training in his speed alongside his hockey as being able to see the attack ahead of time was only useful if he could dodge it. It was a bit difficult to see the attack as apparently it worked better with attacks that had murderous intentions behind them. Seeing as Jeriah couldn't make it believable they were training him to sense any attack, hence why he was Javi in trouble and being hit by so many of them. Okay, I think that's enough for today, Jeriah said as he stopped, dispelled his clones, and walked forward. What? I can do more, Nar said as he still felt he had some energy left in him to continue for another 5 minutes or so. No can do. Your mom hates it when I bruise you up too much. You are doing better though, as you are getting hit less and less each time we do this, Jeriah said as he counted at least 10 less hits than last time. He knew it wasn't lucky dodges or him memorizing a pattern as he always made sure he attacked with a different pattern than before. And relax kid, you don't have to push yourself. You are 10 years old. No need to go crazy on the training. Now come on, go wash up before sununade yells at me for ruining yo clothes. Jeriah said as Narut groaned but nodded before walking off towards the baths of the minor compound. Jeriah chuckled as he was impressed by Naruto's progress as not only had he dodged more of the hits, but from what he could see, the kid was in the process of awakening Busushoku Haki or armament haki to protect him a few times subconsciously. He noticed how a few times wear the hit s didn't leave a mark even though Narudo didn't dodge the pellet. It wasn't to the point of hardening, but it was enough to protect him from a few hits. The kid keeps surprising me, he thought with a chuckle before a slug appeared on his shoulder. Oh, lady Katsuyu, what can I do for you? He asked as the slug nodded. Milady needs Naru Chan. Apparently, it's<unk> really important. The rakage found ma die and is requesting her help, but she is unable to, so she decided to call for Naru Chan. Katsuyu said as Jeriah frowned, not liking how a cage from another village not only found them, but was requesting her help. Should I come along with him or keep an eye on them? Jeriah asked before Katsuyu shook her head. Milady said everything is fine as he seems more frantic to get the patient he brought healed than anything else. The boss slug summon said as Jeriah rose an eyebrow. Who is the patient? He wondered since if it was enough to make a cage get frantic, it must be someone related to them. It's<unk> his niece. Apparently the only bloodrelated family he has left. Katsuyu said while Jeriah nodded with a frown, understanding the frantic attitude of the cage. I'll send him as soon as he gets out. I'll tell him to hurry. Shouldn't be too long, he said before she dispelled. He What have you got yourself in this time? He thought with a sigh as he went off to tell Nar he had to hurry. Best not to keep a cage waiting. Minus 30 minutes later, Narudo frowned, a bit unsure why his mother called him down to the clinic his mother had set up in the town they lived in, deciding she might as well help around while she was there. It had also allowed him to practice on living people when it came to the mystical palm. Normally, he either went with her in the morning or not at all as she also didn't like interrupting his hockey training with Jeriah. Are you sununady Senju's son? Akumo Anbu said before Narut nodded, a bit unsure why an ambu from one of the major ninja villages was in their small town. "Please then come in," the amboo said, slightly bowing as he moved away from the door, allowing him to walk in the room. "This is your son," the medic you said could help my niece where you couldn't. "He's as young as my niece." The man Nar quickly figured to be the rakage by his outfit and appearance alone, yelled before his mom pinched the bridge of her nose and let out a sigh. Yes, and now let me explain. She yelled before the raikage glared at her, although she was unaffected. I called my son because you wouldn't leave and demanded I save your niece who has a condition that I cannot cure. My son, on the other hand, can cure and if it gets you out of my hair before your being here causes too much trouble, then I might as well call him, she said before turning towards him. Mom, what's going on here? Nar asked as he was confused how he could cure something his mother couldn't. though. After thinking about it more, his eyes widened as he came to understand what she meant. "Wait, you want me to?" "Yes," she said, interrupting him as she sat down in her chair. Shazun standing beside her as the rakage stayed standing beside the girl on the bed with a blond-haired man next to him. "I want you to use it. Find out what is wrong with her and heal her. But before that, Rakage, I want you and your men to swear never to tell anyone what you are about to see. She said as the rakage's bodyguard, a man named C, glared at her. Why should we? We owe you nothing, Konaha dogs, C said as sununade shrugged her shoulders. Then I guess the patient won't get cured. This isn't something you can negotiate. Either you agree to my terms or I send a message to my sensei who was acting hokag. She said as she had no problem threatening them as her main concern above all else was her son's safety. The only reason she was even remotely going along with this was because how the rakage was acting. He wasn't the stern and militarized thinking man that she had heard about is re ght. Now he was a concerned uncle scared about losing his niece as she was all he had left. Something she could understand. You dare threaten, I'll do it, the rakage said, interrupting C as he looked up at sununade. I the fourth rakage of Kumogak swear no one here will repeat anything they see. That goes for myself, C and the ambu outside. I don't care if the brat has the sharing by augan or whatever other thing that made you call him down. If he can save my niece, that is all I care about, the rakage said, his tone cracking as he held the small hand of his niece as she laid sleeping on the bed. Good. Now that we have an agreement, Narut, make a room," she said as Nar frowned before a nod from his mother told him it was okay. Over the two more years, he had gotten to the pee oint where making a room was like second nature. It no longer took that much energy to make her keep up, and he had extended it to the point that he could enclose the whole compound in it if he wanted to. "Now scan her and figure out what is wrong. It should be obvious when you take a look, she said before he nodded and held out his hands in front of him. He took a calming breath, trying not to let the rakage's gaze affect him before he channeled his fruits energy into his hands and waved it across the room before he frowned as he looked over at his mom. "She has tumors littered throughout her body." "None of them seem cancerous, but they are still harming her, especially the one near her heart," he said before his mom nodded. "She has 10 tumors." No doctor has been able to remove them due to where they are all located. The one near her heart is the most dangerous as others were too afraid to try and remove them. The rakage said as he sat down next to his niece's bed. Please, if you can save her. I know Konaha and Kumo hasn't been on greatest terms, but she's my family besides my adopted brother. She is all I have. I've raised Maboui since her parents died in the third Shinobiw a and I can't lose her now. I said before Narut nodded. I'll do my best. I should be able to help her, but you will need to stand back as I need a lot of space. He said as a nodded and stepped back with a still glaring sea stepping back with him. He frowned as he looked over the girl. She was undoubtedly pretty and if he had to guess a year older than him, most likely she had dark skin and light gay hair that went down to her shoulders with two bangs framing her face. Now, please don't freak out at this next part. rakage, but she will be fine, Nar said before he furrowed and summoned a small Elson Bonsized construct of green energy from the tip of his finger. "Take your time, Nar. Go slowly and carefully with your gamma knives," Sununade said as Nar nodded and slowly inserted it into Maboui's stomach where he could see the first tumor. "Gamma knife was always the most difficult of his fruits powers to manifest, but thankfully he could at least summon one without passing out afterwards. didn't mean it wasn't still exhausting, but with the Kaobi's help, he should be able keep this up for nine more times. What is all of this? Is it some new Kekai Jenke? C asked before Sununade frowned and rolled her eyes. It isn't a Kekai Jenke. It's<unk> more of something he acquired when he was young. For now, be quiet and let my son work, Sununade said as they watched Narut one after one poke the gamma knives into. Maboui threw out her body before only one tumor remained. He knew he had to be careful with this one since it was dangerously close to her heart. "I'm going to have to use at technique of mine to make sure her heart isn't damaged in this. So, please stay calm," Narudo said as the confused rakage nodded before he slid his hand under Maboui's back, putting his hand everywhere he "Our heart was before he furrowed his brow and tapped her back." "Me," he said before. to the rakage and sees shock. Maboui's heart popped out of her chest, leaving behind a hole in her chest while her heart was encased in a glass case. Still beating, "What did you do to her?" A yelled before Narut held up her heart. Rakage, it is still beating and she's still alive. Mi is a power I have where I can remove someone's heart without actually harming them. It is still pumping blood through Maboui and keeping her alive. Removing this last tumor is the most difficult with her heart being so close to it. This way I don't have to worry about harming it. If you want, you can hold it to ensure nothing happens to it, he said as a gingerly accepted the glass encased heart, allowing him to return focus to Maboui. With the heart out of the way, this made the last tumor much safer to handle and easier to access before he too got rid of it like the others. panting in slight exhaustion before he held his hand out towards a asking for the heart back. I got them all removed so I can put her heart back in. He said before a nodded and handed him the heart again. Now this might wake her up as insertan. G back in her heart might give her a jolt and my mom can do her checkup then he said before he placed her heart back into her in the correct orientation. He stepped back as Maboui's eyes shot open and she took a deep breath of air as if she had lost her breath, allowing the rakage to rush to her side and check her over. "You, uncle, what's wrong?" Maboui asked before her uncle hugged her close to him. "Nothing, dear. Everything is great. Your illness, it's<unk> gone." A cried out as Maboui also started crying as she hugged him back. "Thank you, sununade sama. Thank you." Mabui cried out before sununade shook her head. It wasn't me. Thank my son if anything, she said as she pointed towards Narudo, who was sitting next to Shazun, exhausted beyond belief, as that was the most times he had ever created gamma knives in a row. It was also the first time he used miis on a human before, though he wasn't about to admit that to the rakage. Why you cured me? Maboui asked as Narut weakly nodded. Yeah, but don't worry about it. I'm just happy to be of help you, he said before she got off the bed with help from her uncle and sat down on the ground in a deep bow. You saved me when no one else could. For that, I promise to be of use to you and stay by your side. I will repay your act of generosity, Maboui said as both Sununade and Narut widened their eyes in shock. Wait, there is no need to do that. Honestly, Narut said, unsure of how to react to all of this. No, I cannot sit idly by and not do anything in return when you saved my life. Uncle, please, you must let me stay with, she said before trailing off. Realizing she didn't even know his name. Nar, he said, making her smile and nod. You must let me stay with Narut sama to repay what he has done for me. My honor as a Kumoger native depends on it. We do not let debts go unpaid, she said before a started laughing and pet his niece's head with a smile. If that is what you wish, then I cannot deny you it. But I'm sure some conditions will have to be set up beforehand, he said as Maboui smiled brightly and sununade went pale. Consider this an official alliance between the two nations as I'm sure you wouldn't want to insult our villa. GE. By denying my niece this or denying this alliance, A said before sununade groaned, knowing full well she can't deny this as much as she wanted to since if she did, it would make things even worse for the two nations. Why does my bad luck still screw me over? Sunsade thought as she swore it could be the only explanation why things were going like this. She just hoped this didn't turn out as bad as she was thinking it would. Chapter end. Sorry for the delay, but with not being able to think up anything for the original story I had planned to write yesterday paired with me getting over a really bad stomach problem, it made things difficult. So yeah, a few time skips in this chapter as honestly there isn't much to write in between all of this. He can use most of the opi abilities be as you saw he can't use them repeatedly or nearly as proficiently as law could. He is also slowly unlocking his hockey wear. By the time he is 16, he'll be much better at it. His sword style will be revealed next chapter as well as more dialogue with Kurama who will work along with Narut more. Plus, Maboui is now part of the group as she wants to repay Narudo for saving her by being by his side. And I am happy to reveal that a de age is the first member of the three girl pairing. Don't worry, it'll work out and be interesting next chapter. Also, I haven't forgotten about the uchiha kua ttempt and I have something planned for it since with Danzo no longer having any power in Konaha, it'll go a lot differently. Rate and review. Bye-bye. An beginning author notes are rare for me, but I'm adding this because I want to explain that the reason why these last few chapters have had time skips is because the real story starts when they reach Konaha. This is training and it's hard to writ e this all and not time skip to stop the story from droning on daytoday until they arrive in Konaha. Plus I feel like I do a good skill recap each chapter so it hopefully is okay. Also don't worry th are the last few time skips as I officially plan for them to arrive in Konaha this chapter. She could already feel a headache coming on as she watched the small girl that her son had just saved hug onto her tired son's arm. With a warm smile, "Okay, that's enough." Sununade said as she pulled the two apart. "Shazun, can you take Narudo and Maboui out of here?" Rikage, "You can send Sei with her, but we need to talk alone." She said as a nodded and motioned for Se to go with them, leaving the two of them alone in the room. I know you must have some issues with this, but I hope you can have an open MID about it. I said while sat down with a sigh. Open mind is a bit hard considering how your village in the past tried to kidnap an uzumaki and a hauga in the past and with the haug your village demanded the body of the person who killed the kidnapper although you had no right. So I'm sorry if I'm very skeptical, she said as a frown and sat down on the edge of the bed. I know my bill. Age in the past has made many mistakes in the Hauga incident has been one of my greatest regrets so far. The supporters of my father's strict reign devised the kidnapping event and whispered in the e of the head ninja of Kumo to make him do what he had done. When I figured out what my elders had done, not only did I strip them of title and power, but I have tried my hardest to make up for it," he said. Clenching his fists tightly before he reached into his pocket, pulled out a scroll, and handed it to her. "For the last seven years, I have been carrying around this scroll in hopes to finally be able to return this body to Konaha and make amends. I refused to let them touch it after they tried to break the seal on his forehead." Now with me meeting you and my niece becoming infatuated with Yo Er son, I hope this can allow me to atone for the sins of my nation and return this to you so you could return it to their clan and be given a proper burial. A said, surprising sununade immensely as she accepted the scroll. I know this doesn't immediately fix things, but with how my niece is dead set on staying with you, I hope this will allow things to slowly heal. a added asunade pocketed the SC. Roland crossed her arms under her chest with a slight frown. This will mean a lot to the Hyuga clan, but I agree it will take time to fix things. Right now though, I am more curious why you are allowing your niece. The only family you have to stay by my son's side, Sununade said since she found it especially odd how he was willing to have her leave Kumo and stay with them. My niece has always be and a quiet girl that rarely asked for anything or if she could have anything. She's been like this since her parents died. And for the first time, I saw a fire in her eyes when she declared she wanted tea. "Oh, stay by your boy's side, and I just couldn't deny her." I said while he looked up at sununade, a serious look in his eyes. "So please think about this, and if you do decide to allow this, you will have." Kumo and my full support. If you are ever in need, I said before sununade waved him off with a sigh. Fine, if she and you are so serious about this, then there is nothing I can do to stop this. That end, I know it's<unk> for the benefit of both sides at least, sununade said as she stood up and a followed suit as he smiled at her. I am in your deadsunade for not only your son saving my niece but also you allowing my niece to be by his side. A said as he held out his hand for her to shake before she accepted it with a smirk. At least stay long enough to see her moved into my place and say goodbye to her. She said as a nodded before they both headed out of the room to see an exhausted Narudo in a waiting room chair with a smiling and perky Maboui sitting in the chair next to him while Shazun and Se were standing nearby. Uncle. So, am I allowed to stay by Narut Sama's side? Maboui asked as she looked up at her uncle with bright eyes that made the gruff rakage chuckle as he nodded. Yes, though. I won't be leaving you alone just yet, as I want to make sure you are settled in nicely. Before we leave, I said before he quickly caught the hug from his excited and somewhat squealing niece as she hugged him tightly. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, uncle. And don't worry, Narudo Sama. I will make sure I train hard so that I may be able to fight by your side. Maboui said as Narut chuckled nervously, a bit unsure how to handle that the girl he saved was not only calling him sama was going to live with them. Good because the last thing I want is a fan girl to be beside my sons as she patted Narut on his back with a smile. You did great Nar. Now, let's just get back home so you can relax as the rakage and I figure a few last things out about Maboui moving in. Once at the house, Narudo was quick to head to the baths to wash off the sweat that had caked onto him from using so many gamma knives as well as mi for the first time on a living person. Maboui though was more ex cited to be shown around the compound by Shazoon with C tagging along allowing A andsunade to share a drink alone where she explained her situation. She was thankful though that Jera was now her e to be seen as it allowed her to have some more one-on-one talk with the rakage. If Maboui is to stay by his side, I figure she would join him as a ninja in which I'd hope to make her a kumo reprie. Nat ti and kumo ninja as well to solidify things though it still depends on what the third hokag says about this situation. A said as he shot back his saucer of sake before getting a refill. Mai say nsei is a reasonable man so he shouldn't have a problem if I explain everything to him she said as a nodded so is your son going to be a medic like you or are you making him an all-around type shinobi a asked before sununade side and set down her saucer medic is the main focus for him as well as taijutsu but I also need to fight a kenjutsu teacher for him as with his abilities it will be w l suited for himsade said before a perked up with a smirk I might be able to help given how other than Kiri Kumo has a handful of powerful swordsmen that and if needed I can use Kiri's all eians to ask them if they have someone suited for him a said as sununade nodded thanks that'll be a major help when it comes to getting him ready and up to par by the time he turns 16 as long you keep us a secret for the most parts said before an excited Maboui rushed back into the room with a huge smile I love it here uncle I going to love living here. "See even helped unpack all my stuff into my room," Maboui said as a chuckled, then got up, ruffling her hair with a chuckle before frowning as he noticed how low the sun was getting. "I'm glad you like it here so much, but I think I te is about time I start heading back, but before that, I want to talk with you and give you some things," I said as Maboui nodded and followed her uncle out into the courtyard of the compound. The young G IRL didn't come back until a few minutes later and was holding two scrolls in her hands. With them being from the rakage, she knew it would make the girl more than strong enough to make sure someone was watching her son's back. "Well, I hope you're ready for everything up ahead. As if your uncle is putting you in my care and training, I am going to make sure you can handle the world," Sununade said as she eyed Mabui while sipping her sake. "I am ready, Lady Sununade. I will ensure I can stand beside Narut sama. Maboui said with such conviction that sununade couldn't help but chuckle. We start once. Why? Oh, you fully recover from everything, so be ready. For now, you can help Shazoon with dinner. Sununade said before Maboui nodded and hurried off, making her somewhat look forward to the Kumo native and everything she had in her. Three years later, three years until Konaha, Narut let out another grunt of pain as he was tossed back by a powerful strike to his gut from the back of a sword. Over the last t Wo years or so, he had finally started kenjutsu training after Maboui's uncle came through on how he said he'd help them with a kenjutsu teacher. The man though hailed from Kyrion and was told according to rumors around the elemental nations to be a natural master without any teacher. The main reason he was picked was because like Narut, he too had an insane water affinity. The man was Yamamoto Tiki and a master of a sword style called Sugaro and Ryu which was hailed as an invincible sword style. It was also why he was a prime candidate to become a seven swordsman of the mist according to the info Jeriah's spy network had on him when he first showed up having given the info of what town they lived in by after his mom was given the okay by Konaha they expected someone fearsome looking instead though they were met with a man Shazun Nchan<unk>s age with spiky black hair light brown eyes and a constant warm and cheerful smile on his face even while in a spar he mainly stew ck okay to wearing Kamashimo and Hakima pants with his two swords sheath sitting on his hips. "Nice try there, Nar, but you need to move quicker than that to get past your opponent's guard." Yamamoto saw it with a smile as he rested one of his two unique blades on his shoulder. "It's hard to get close to you when you've already got my scent with that sword of yours," Narudo said, pointing his basic cat. Anna that Yamamoto had lent to him until he got his own from his mother once he turned 16 towards the sword in Yamamato's left hand with the dog-shaped pommel. Yamamato's two swords, one having a dog pommel and the other a swallow pommel were a set that when used in unison was absolutely deadly and a true candidate to the seven swordsmen of the mist. Oh, don't worry Nar, just consider this training with weights. If you can get a scratch on me, then that means you passed this level and we can move on to the next," Yamamoto said as he waved off his complaint, making Narut groan before they both heard a boom of thunder. He worriedly turned around wanting to check up on Maboui as she was the only one with an affinity towards lightning. It's<unk> okay Naraboui is fine as sunade told me to express ect. Some noises as they are apparently making progress on teaching Maboui her super strength. the swordsman said, only making Narudo worry more as he knew. How difficult and at times painful, learning that technique of his mothers could be. Although deep down he knew Maboui could handle it. Maboui, while still quite clingy to him, was a skill and powerful kunoichi. His mom had decided to teach her tea. He basics of medical njutsu, but she had also realized her focus was mainly tai jutsu as her uncle had given her a rather powerful set of parting gifts. the main one that she was having the most troop. Lith was her uncle's lightning release chakra mode that she was determined to master enough to at least be able to use it in battle by the time they reached Konaha. He too had things he wanted to G Te some mastery over by the time they reached Konaha. Thankfully, they were welcoming towards Maboui enough not to refuse her passage into the village after the Hokag explained things and returned the body of the Hyuga member that those going against the rakage's wishes had demanded. All in all, he was a bit excited and a bit nervous to head there once he became 16. Excited because of the new peep, Leah meet and help with the training his mom gave him and nervous about how they all will react to who his mom is and his powers. In the few years since curing Maboui's tumors, he had increased his sea entr over his fruit even more to the point he could create a room with minimal difficulty and he could make it large enough to almost cover the entire town they lived in. Though they had done the tea est at night to hide the blue tint his room brought forth. His hockey training with Jera had allowed him to get to the point he could use his Kbanchoku haki much easier to use and he had even unlock k his busoku haki and some minor busoku koka a technique that hardened his body even more than normal busoku haki although the most he could coat in it so far as was half of his forearms or half of his calves. Right now though, according to his mom, training in kenjutsu and learning to use it in conjuncture with his fruit was the last step of his training besides elemental njutsu, both of which Yamamoto was teaching him. How about instead of getting a hit in on Miyu, show me at least one offensive and defensive stance starting now? Yamamoto quickly said before he charged at him with incredibly speed, leaving Nar little to no time to react, immediately putting him on the defensive. Narudo gritted his teeth as he tried to use his haki to help predict his teachers move him. But while he could see them, he wasn't nearly fast enough to react in time. Thankfully, his haki was also helping defend him against his attacks. Stop being so tentative and block better and attack for once. A familiar voice yelled out as Narut grit his teeth and started with help from the kaobi started to summon water around him from the moisture in the air. Over the years, whenever he got the time, he meditated in an attempt to get closer to the beast he held inside him. The two of them got along well enough to the point the Kaobi was willing to lend him a hand with his chakra much more willingly. They even worked together to the point he could handle two to three tales of his chakra without losing control. Shaguro and Ryu second stance rolling rain. Narudo thought as he waved up the water around him with his sword, blocking Yamamato strikes before crouched down and dove through an opening in the walls of water. Now from defensive to offensive, the Kaobi urged on as he went into his next stance. Using the water walls as a mirrors to reflect his image. Shaguro and Ryu ninth stance duplicate rain. He thought quickly as he used the mirrors as a distribution action to attack from above only for his sword to clash against Yamamato's swallow pommel sword. Very good, Narut. While it was a bit slow to gather water and create the walls for rolling rain, you moved into duplicate rain very skillfully. That should be enough for today. Tomorrow we<unk>ll work on your speed at drawing water and ways to fill your battlefield with it without wasting any time. Yamamoto said, his usual laid-back smile adjourning his face as he ruffled Naruto's hair, making him groan, but nod. "Why don't you go check on your mom and girlfriend and see how they are doing?" Yamamoto said, making Nar blush a bit as he coughed into his fist, a bit caught off guard with the girlfriend comment. As she's not my girlfriend, s she's just someone that feels they owe me something due to me saving them, he said as he struggled not to slug his teacher as he started to laugh and pat him on the back repeatedly. Whatever you say, Nar, I'm going to go take a dip in the hot springs. And u Yamamoto said with a smile as he walked off, leaving Nar alone before he started to walk off towards where his mom and Maboui were training. He has a point, kid. She is basically your girl. Fr i n d with how much she follows you around and hugs on your arm. The kaobi said as Narut groaned and felt his cheeks heat up as he remembered how much she did that a blush that only grew once he too. RNE the corner and saw Maboui crouched down panting as she wiped sweat from her forehead. Nar sama, are you done with your training? Maboui asked seemingly forgotten about her exhaustion as she are and over to him with a warm smile on her face. Yay Yamamoto sensei said I was done for today after a good few hours of training. How goes your training with my mom? He asked as he saw smoking craters littered around the courtyard. It went well. She's handling my strength better than I thought and even more so in conjunction with the bits of lightning armor she can conjure. His mom said as she wked over with a smile before she ruffled Maboui's hair which made the 13-year-old girl smile and blush at the compliment. So, where did Jeriah train you like he was supposed to today at all, or was it all Yamamoto? Asked, "Does Narut chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck with a sweat drop?" "Well, he was there in the beginning of it, but then ran out, claiming a research emergency." He said, "Assunade groaned into the palm of her hand before she cracked her knuckles. You two stay here and relax after training. I'm going to break his skull." She growled out as he chuckled and watched the e ve familiar sight of him mom going off to beat up his uncle for being a pervert or super pervert as Jeriah himself always announced himself as. I swear it is still surprising for one of the sonin to be such a pervert. Maboui said as she remembered the first time she had taken a dip in the hot springs with sununade and Shazun only for the medic to suddenly throw a small basin at the corner of the room which resulted in Jera falling from the ceiling. I'm sorry that was your first meeting with him he said as Maboui giggled and waved him off patting his arm with a smile. It is fine Nar Yudo Sama as you got revenge for me by using your powers to swap his arms with his legs for the whole next day. she said as she remembered howsunade had used Jeriah's punishment as a training exercise for him. "To be frank, I was going to do something like that to begin with after my mom told me what he did as peeping on you was just messed up," he said with a light blush that grew as Maboui hugged his arm tightly with a big smile. "Well, I'm just glad I have you looking after me like that," she said as she hugged his arm tighter before letting go with a smile. I promise though that by the time W E moved to Konaha, I will be able to stand by your side and keep you safe as well. Since," she said before stopping and staring down at the floor before she shook her head. "Since what?" he asked as she looked up with a smile. "It's nothing, Narut sama, but if you want to know, you<unk>ll have to wait until we make it to Konaha." And we both pass the test, she said as she stuck out her tongue slightly before hurrying off, leaving him confused while the Kaobi just laughed in his head. Relax, kid. Don't let it get to you. Just focus on training for the next few years and getting your powers fully under sea. Entrl. The Kaobi said as Narut frowned, confused, but nodded as with only 3 years left. As long as that seemed, he knew it passed by faster than he figured. So, he needed to stay on course with his training. 3 years later, finally to Konaha. Her boy was now easily 6 feet tall. his spiky blonde hair still defying gravity with two spiky bang framing his face and the sapphire eyes that looked over everything in his bag. His choice of outfits was nice considering it was the outfit Shazoon bought for his recent birthday. The outfit consisted of a pair of black sandals, dark blue cargo pants, a long sleeve black shirt and an orange vest jacket with a black furlined hood. On each shoulder of his shirt bore the symbols of the clans of both his mothers, hers on his right and Kusha's on his left. Also around his neck and strapped to his waist were two very important items. Hanging from his neck was her grandfather's necklace as she had finally decided to give to him. As for OC e, it felt right where the necklace couldn't curse him. While her necklace was special, the item strapped to his waist was much more special as it was his birth mother's sword, the same one she used to gain herself the title of Konaha's crimson shinagami. The blade itself was an odachi length katana that was sheathed in a black sheath decorated with red circles split evenly into thirds. The hilt W as wrapped in black silk with a subahad flower-like edges. And if he were to draw it, he'd reveal its blade was pitch black with red hammond decorating the blade to give it the appearance of a saw or sharp teeth. It was a legendary sword passed through the Uzumaki for generations before it was gifted to Kasha as she left Uzu Shioaker as a kid and its name was Shoui or clear autumn water and give Naruto's insane affinity towards water. It all seemed to fit into place. This sword and necklace were the last two gifts of his given to him on his birthday a few months ago. And they were also used as a window to tell him who his real parents really were. Flashback. Assunade told Nar the events around his birth, she couldn't help but feel a pit of fear rise in her stomach as she grew afraid of how he might react. I'm sorry I never told you this until now. I just felt now would be the best time considering we are leaving for Konaha soon. She said as Narut looked up from the sword in his hands and smiled before surprising her with a hug. Mom, you will always be my mom in my eyes. You raised me, loved me, cared for me, and trained me my whole life. I am grateful that my birth mom chose eu to look after me as I'm somewhat afraid what would have happened to me if you hadn't. I love you and I will always see myself as your son, he said as sununade hugged him back with a smile as tear. S of joy silently streamed down her cheeks. Thank you sweetie. This means so much to me. Just promise me you will be careful once you become a ninja as I don't think I'd be able to handle losing you. She said as she kissed the top of his head, making him nod before she set her hands on his shoulders. And you can still back out of this and just stay a medic. Your training wouldn't go to waste as I would have still trained you this much even if being a medic alone was your plan all along. She said while she looked her son dead in the eyes. Thanks mom but I feel like I need to do this and that I can do this. I'll be fine as Maboui Chan will always be watching my back. He said as he put his hands on top of hers and gave them a squeeze. I'll make you proud and put everything you taught me to use. I promise. He said before she chuckled and kissed his forehead. I'm already proud of you and I will continue to be with everything else you do from now on. Now, how about we get back to the part? Why, as you still need to eat some of the cake, Shazoon, Maboui, and I baked, she said as Narut nodded, slipping her necklace around his neck and carrying his sword in his hand. Sounds great, Mom. Nar s aid as he and his mom left his room to go back and enjoy his 16th birthday party. Flashback end. You got everything packed and ready to go? She asked as her son looked over his shoulder with a smile before nodding and standing up, draping his bag over his shoulder. Yeah, I double checked everything to make sure everything not mainly important is in the main scroll. I did though decide to keep the scroll keeping everything from my birth parents house as well as the scrolls listing my powers. He said as while she should have saved the scroll containing everything from Kusha and Mina Chu<unk>s house for his birthday. She had instead given it to him after he had passed all of her Jeras and Yamamato's tests. He had passed hers by showing the extent of his master over his fruits power, his medical njutsu skills and his ability to summon the slugs. He passed Jeriah's by showing off his hockey skills, elemental njutsu, and the ability to summon the toads. And finally, he had P, said Yamamato's tests by using all 11 stances of the Shaguro and Ryu that he had shown Narudo as well as his ability to summon water from thin air. While he might not have all of his fruits powers or his hockey mastered, they were at a level where they felt he could easily defend himself. All in all, over in the past 3 years, he was more than at the level of a Chunan due to their intense training over the years. That's smart for now, but once we get to Kona Hajaraya is going to put it in a sealed safe that opens only to your blood and chakra too. Keep it safe since that scroll has the instructions for the horizon inside it. Plus, I don't want your fruits powers being leaked somehow. She as he nodded and looked around the room once more. "You know I'm going to miss this place considering how I've lived here my whole life so far," he said as sununade patted his back with a smile. I know what you mean as I've learned to like this place, but the main Senju compound in Konaha isn't too diff from here. She said before he nodded and followed her out of the room and towards the front door of the compound where Jera, Shazun, Yamamoto, and Maboui were waiting for them. "Did you make sure you didn't forget anything Narut sama?" she asked with a smile. Assunade as well as the other adults hid their smirks as Narut blushed slightly. As Maboui moved closer to him, she knew her son well enough to know that puberty had hit him hard around 14 or so. And since then, he had noticed Maboui as a girl, which they figured would happen sooner or later given how much she hugged on him and h how much she had blossomed over the last few years. In the past three years, Maboui had grown some curves that came in the form of a rather full rear from sun had seen while they were in the hot springs, as well as a developing chest that was easily DD going on Eup. All in all, they all had been trying to get the two kids together since it was clear Maboui had strong feelings for Nar besides devotion and Nar while a bit dense had some budding feelings for her. Why yeah, sorry it took so long, Maboui Chan," he said as he rubbed the back of his neck with a chuckle as Maboui blushed like she always did. At the addition of Chan to her name ever since he started adding it a year or two back, "It is fine," Narut sama. I'm just excited to finally visit Konaha after all these years with Yo. "You," she said with a smile as she hugged his arm, making Naro blush darker before Jeriah chuckled and clapped his hands. Well, love birds, let's<unk> get a move on, Sensei is waiting for us to arrive this afternoon and we can't<unk>t delay. It is the academy graduation test is tomorrow, Jeriah said as he ignored the glare from the three women around him. Yeah, I'm excited to see Konaha as well since I've never visited it before. Yamamoto said as he smiled, excited to go along as since he wasn't a shinobi or registered as one in Kiri, he could go wherever he wanted as long as they were willing to allow him in. Okay, yeah, come on kids. Konaha isn't that far away, so we won't be traveling long. But still, the sooner we arrive, the more time we have to get settled in, Sununade said as everyone nodded and follow wed her lead out of town and towards the direction of Konaha. A few hours later, Narut as they walked up to the gates of Konaha couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed from it all in the large sea. Ity behind the gates as they walked in didn't help. Whoa, this place is huge, he muttered as Yamamoto led a whistle. You can say that again, he said before sununade smiled at the figure ahead of them. 16 years and you still look old as ever, sensei, she said as crossed her arms under her chest with a smile as she and Jeriah stared down their elder sensei. It's great to see you too. as W L as you jera Hisan said as he smiled happy to have his two students back as well as have Naro finally home knowing from just one look the boy was something special chapter end so the situation between A andsunade in terms of Maboui was explained better and I figured I could make a less shady than he was in canon also I decided on a sword style for Narut that fur perfectly considering his insane water affinity shagur soen Ryu is a go to style of mine But in this case, it was the best without my favoritism of it weighing in as it can be used with one hand and uses water in its attacks. Plus, it allowed me to add in Yamamoto to the story as his teacher, which I thought would be cool, and he might be paired with Shazoom. Not sure. Nar will be a bit stronger than the Oth Aron a bit due to having training from Tusan, but in hindsight, it makes sense considering his fruit powers as well. Also looking back at the pairings, I decided to swap one of the two mystery GI rls out with another girl that I felt might fit better given who his mom is. Plus, I am sorry if the time skips annoyed you all. They annoyed me too. But I had to so that I could get to the real story next chapter. For the entire walk from the gates the village to the hoage main office, both Narut and Maboui were amazed by the size of the city. Although it was more so Nar than Maboui is, unlike her with her past in Kumo, this was the first time he had ever been in a big city. Wow, this place really is huge. Nar commented again as he looked out from the window of the Hokaj's office and took in the view. Well, Konaha is the most populated of the five great ninja villages, so the size is expected, Sununade said as she patted her son on the back. Now come sit down as the sooner we get tea is over with. the sooner we can head to the compound and get things unpacked. His mom chided him with a smirk as he chuckled and nodded, sitting down next to Maboui. I'm glad though you are interested in your new home and I'll try and keep this quick so you may get settled down and maybe look around a bit before tomorrow. The third Hokag who had previously insisted to just be called Hirzen by both him and Maboui said as Narut nodded. So before anything, I figure everyone in the room isn't left in the dark regarding topics. Hi asked as sununade nodded. I told everyone here everything from Naruto's powers to his situation as Genturiki and both Maboui and Yamamoto have sworn not to tell either out of not wanting to endanger Narudo or because it isn't their place to tell. She said Maboui was incredibly serious about not doing anything to endanger Narudo and Yamamoto decided it wasn't his place to tell anyone something that wasn't regarding to him personally. Good. and you don have to worry about your sensei since the person I have in mind will be informed of his status as genturi if they are to know about your fruits power is up to you said looking towards sununade who nodded if this is all then I think it's about time we get settled into the Senju compounds said as she stood up before Hirozen stood up as well with a smile et both are excited for the test tomorrow and I personally will be watching with everyone else here head, tapping the crystal ball on his desk as Narut figured his mom and the others would. NT pass up the chance to watch and see how he did tomorrow. Though before you all rush off, Jeriah, can I speak alone with you and Sununade for a moment? Here isn't asked, making sununade frown slightly. Although she expected this from the start. Sure, Shazun can guide them home as I'm sure my loving son will be more than happy to help his mom unpack everything,"Sunady teased as she playfully pinched Naruto's cheek with a smirk. "Yeah, yeah, I got it, Mom. I know how much you hate stuff like that," Nar said with a chuckle before his mom ruffled his hair and pulled him in for a hug that he returned. "I shouldn't be long, Jeriah. and I will come the second we are done," she said as Narut pulled away with a nod before everyone else followed Shazun out of the room, the doors closing behind them. "So, what is it that you wanted to talk about that you decided not to let me walk with my son to our new house together?" asked, crossing her arms under her chest with a frown as to her this was a special event. It is important otherwise I wouldn't have held you back and I am sorry but it does involve Narut in a way said as he signaled for the ambu to leave and motioned for them to sit. Jeriah sitting down first before he looked towards sununade who side and sat in the chair next to him. Since you've been away there was an event where the Uchiah clan tried to usurp over the village due to the tensions and distrust towards them that followed after the Kaobi attack. Recently things have calmed down after the coup was ended before it started with the help. A vitachi and a few other loyal uchiha killing only those involved in it. His said as sununade frowned not particularly having any dislike towards the uchiha since unlike her great uncle Tobarama sheimore was neutral to them. I tell you this because it requires Narudo to be careful as someha who know why the others were killed are still harboring grudges. Another reason is because I have decided to give him a loyal and skilled Uchiha as his sensei when he and Maboui pass their test to ensure their safety from other uh interests. Hi said thankful that his student seemed to accept it as she nodded. So is this Itachi his teacher or do you have someone else capable in mind? Sununade asked as if her sensei said it was someone loyal and skilled. It was someone to be trusted. No, itachi right now is busy acting as a spy for my network after he willingly took the public image of an unstable murderer. He is working to infiltrate a dangerous organization that I pick. Dup on after I received news that Orochimaru joined it, Jeriah said as beside training Narut and Mabui, he had been incredibly busy with his spy network, even more so after Sensei had sent Itachi to him. Jeriah is right. Itachi is not available at this moment, but I assure you they are very capable, but it's best to wait until tomorrow to talk more as they will be able to answer any question you have. After they meet with Narudo and Maboui, Hisan said before sununade nodded and stood up. Good because I need to get to the house so I can relax after the journey here with my son and give him so. Me last bit of advice before tomorrow, she said as Hirozen chuckled and nodded completely understanding how she wanted to spend time with her son. Go on aheads, sununade. I have a few things left to talk to sensei about. Mainly my spy network. So you go on ahead and get home, Jeriah said as sununade wasted no time leaving somewhat making Jeriah sigh as he didn't know what to suspect, especially with tomorrow to look forward to. Next day, Narut felt a bit nervous as he and Maboui made their way towards the academy. He wasn't nervous that they wouldn't pass as the last real spar they had with his mom, Jeriah, and Yamamoto. They all had put Narut and Maboui easily highin to mid Jon and depending on the seriousness. He was more nervous of meeting everyone else since he and Maboui were new only just arriving on the final test day. The advice his mom gave him last night of not worrying too much about the others and mainly focusing on passing was helping him not worry too much. Narut sama, are you okay? Maboui asked as she snapped him out of his thoughts, making him look over to her as she smiled back at him. Even she had dawned a change of outfit for today, switching to an olive sea, a lord sleeveless vest with mesh armor underneath that was visible a bit due to the lowish neckline of the vest and an olive short sleeve jacket over it that bore the Senju symbol on one shoulder and Kumo's symbol on the other. Other than that, she wore dark gray kneelength skirt that allowed her to still move around but also look dignified. She had even let her light gray hair hang down freely high. Instead of the bun she normally kept it in, which he had to say looked great on her. Yeah, I'm good. Mabui Chan just a bit nervous, but it'll pass, he said as she nodded before they both entered the aka. Demi and were greeted by a man who was seemingly waiting for him. Autou must be Narut and Maboui, right? The man asked as the two of them nodded. Great. My name is Aruka Yumino. I was made aware. E of your situation by Lord Hokag and I am excited to see your skill. Aruka said as Narut nodded with a chuckle. I'm excited to pass and get to start helping out. Narudo said with a smile as Maboui nodded, making Ruka chuckle and motion for them to follow. The tests are going to begin in five or so minutes, but I need to arrive there early to keep things calm so you two came at the best time. foe. Army to introduce you all to the others," Aruka said as they continued to follow him until he stopped in front of one classroom that was rather loud until he burst open the door. "Okay, everybody, quiet down. I have two last minute students that I need to introduce." Aruka yelled as the class almost instantly quieted down, allowing him to motion for them to enter. "Everyone, I would like to introduce Narut, Senju, and Maboui. They will be joining us for the graduation exam as they have been traveling around and only just returned to Konaha. Oruruka said as Narut smiled and waved to them slightly as Maboui bowed slightly. A n to make things easier all of them will be in their shaputin outfits only with Sakura having longer hair and Sasake with his the last Narut the movie outfit minus the poncho and head wrap. Wait, Senju as in one of the main founding clans of Konaha Senju. Does that mean you are related to sununade? Senju one student asked as Narut nodded. Yashi's my mom she said me outside of Konaha but decided to return once I was of graduating age. He said as the class started to get noisy as everyone was either trying to ask him questions or were talking amongst themselves about him. Okay, that's enough. Aruka yelled over the commotion only for them to continue to be noisy, making a tick mark appear on his forehead. I said, "Quiet," Baroo yelled, his head seemingly growing to enhance his voice, which quickly got the class to be quiet. "And what about the gorgeous woman next to him? Why does she have Kumo and the Senju symbol on her?" One boy with a rather large dog next to him asked with a smirk that made Naru glare a bit, although he was a bit confused. Why? I am indebted to the work of the Senju for saving my life and I bear Kumo's symbol as that is my birth land that my uncle currently leads over as cage. I am here as a representative and to serve by Narut sama's side," Mabui said, making Nar grown inwardly as he didn't want her to use sama f or him around others, but figured she would end up using it. If he wasn't able to stop her from using it over the years, he doubted he could get her to stop at all. And before any of you start mabooies, situation has been approved by the hokag. Now everybody say settled as the exam will be starting in a few minutes. Or said silencing various questions before he motioned for both of them to go on and sit down. Here you can come sit down next to me sweetie. The dog boy said as he smirked and licked his lips before Maboui walked right past him seemingly ignoring him and leaving him shocked. Be four. Maboui looked back and smiled at Nar. Narut sama I found us two seats. Maboui said as Nar chuckled and followed her up the steps past the dog boy and sat down on the middle seat with Maboui sitting next to him. Oi, what's the big idea? Don't you know who I am? The dog boy yelled, planting his foot on top of the desk in front of Nar, making him sigh as he looked up at him. No, we don't. We literally just arrived at the village yesterday, Nar said, making the boy falter a bit as Nar slipped out the sword sheath from his belt and set the sword on his desk next to him. Due to it being awkward to sit down with it on his waist. Also, what is up with you? Maboui doesn't want to sit next to you, so just let it go, he said before a boy with circular dark glasses pulled the dog boy back with a sigh. Hea, please stop before you cause a dangerous incident. Please excuse him. He gets excited. My name is Shino Abarame. Shino said as Ka grumbled and sat back down at his seat. AFu rose down next to a pale-eyed girl who continuously snuck peaks up at Maboui before looking away whenever Maboui noticed. It's<unk> fine. Not like I'm angry, just confused, he said before Shino nodded in. D went to sit down before a few moments later someone else stood up from further up front and started walking up towards them. The boy had black hair and Onyx eyes that already seemed to be glaring slightly, although that more seemed to be his resting face at him before stopping in front of his desk. Senu, do you actually know how to use that sword? The boy asked as Nar looked up at him. W it of a raised eyebrow before nodding. I have a name besides my clan's name. It's<unk> Nar and yes, I do know how to use it. I was trained for a good number of years to use it well. Narudo told him, not quite sensing any real animosity in his tone, but definitely felt the guy was a bit rough around the edges. It was probably tied to how he heard from Jera that half of the Uchiah were killed by a man named Itachi. He didn't know why Itachi did such a thing, but it made sense it affected some Uchiah around. "We<unk>ll have to see about that. I'm interested to see your style, Sasake said as he reached behind him and moved the chakudo behind his back so he could see it more clearly. I guess we can spar a bit. Always up for a challenge, Narudo told him, getting Sasake to look him over before turning away without another word. Confusing Narud before he heard a sigh above him as someone walked down the steps of the classroom. Sorry about my brother. His social skills are a bit poor and he's guarded. He isn't as bad as he seems, I think, a girl said as Narut turned to look at her. The girl was rather slender and petite. Her hair Onyx black hair was shoulder length with a part of it tucked behind her right ear with a long narrow ponytail hanging behind her while her eyes also onyx black were behind a pair of red glasses. Her outfit was a two-tone blue keypo styled top that went a bit past her hip with a slit up to her hip and a regular triangle cut out on the chest to separate the blue tone of the top part from the light blue of the lower part along with two darker blue armbands on her arms. Under that was a pair of black shorts with a tool pouch on her left leg and a pair of almost kneeh high black sandals. He was also quick to notice a tonto behind her. My name is Sarata Uchiha. Nice to meet you, Narut. she introduced, holding her hand out to him with a smile before he shook it with a smile of his own. "Nice to meet you, too, but don't worry, I won't let it get to me," Narut assured her. Getting a nod from her before she walked off to her seat behind him. "Okay, everybody, sit back down. The exam is starting," the other teacher said as Aruka stood up and picked up a stack of papers. "The graduation exams is divided into three main parts: written, accuracy, and physical. The written is simple. Fill out the test to the best of your abilities and when you are done, flip it over. Accuracy, once this is done, will deal with how well you can hit a target with a variety of tools. And physical will be how well you can use the three staple jutsu of any ninja. A nd at least two elemental jutsu to prove you at least have a grasp of control over your chakra, Aruka said as he had went around and handed out the tests as Narut inwardly groaned but picked up the pencil. tests might not be his thing, but his mom at least ensured he wasn't an idiot with all the lessons she and Shazun had given him. All I have to do is get through this first part and the rest shish old be smooth sailing and the interesting parts will come, he thought as he quickly got started. Hoage's office. Well, so far we can't see much because it's only a written test, but that Inazuka boy is quickly starting to butt heads over Maboui. I wonder if this will help Nar get with her faster, Jeriah said with a smirk as he started jotting down some notes before quickly stopping as Sununade's glare sent a shiver down his spine. "Don't take notes on my son for your perverted books." "Though I do find this situation cute for them,"Sunady said as Jeriah quickly nodded and put away his notepad out of fear of being slugged by her. Thankfully, the written portion never takes that long, so we should be seeing the other parts soon. Here said as he let out smoke from his pipe. I too am X. Excited to see how well Young Narut and Maboui do and what elemental jutsu they show off to the instructors. Here added as he looked towards Sununade who merely smirked. Well, Maboui has a few lightning. With Narut being all water, but Yamamoto taught him a few that will make things interesting. Sununade said as the smiling swordsman in the room nodded. "Now I'm looking forward to it even more here." Usuzen said as he turned back to the crystal ball at top his desk. "Academy," Narut groaned as the test had finished and they had all been brought out to the training field behind the academy where numero as targets had been lined up with a large assortment of ninja tools lying on tables nearby to use. The next portion goes as follows. You will test your accuracy with these targets and a total of 10 tools of your choice. Your score starts at 100 and for each bullseye, no points are deducted, but the further the ring out you hit, the more points you lose. Mizuki, the other teacher that he had learned his name from a boy named Shikamaru, said as he motioned towards the tables. You can use Kana Sunban or even all shuriken if you want, but you must use at least 10 and there is no extra credit for the difficulty of tu or using more than 10. So use what is best for you and will ensure you do not miss. Barooa added as one by one they guided each student to a table with a target across from them. Other tun arrived to help take score of the students to speed up the process while Nar looked over the table. Please send pick whatever tools work the best for you. The random Chunan sid as Narut nodded and picked up five sunb as they were what Shazun had taught him with and five kana which were the basic tools. So I just have to hit the target and aim for the center right? Narudo asked as he lined up with the target that was several yards away holding the sunb in between his fingers of his closed fist. Yes, but in between each shot the tool must be removed for the canai. Due to the small size of the bullseye, the tunin said as Narut nodded and fired the first barrage of five shots, all perfectly hitting the center in a tight grouping. Sinbon were the easiest for him to use due to his steady surgical hand and training for several years. Perfect grouping, amazing job. Not many people actually succeed with Sbon, as we like to call them, the Jennon killers. As when others try to use them, their scores are dropped due to failures. I think one other student last year is the only one to succeed with them. The Chunan said as Narut chuckled as the sunb were removed. Well, they are my main projectile. Kana though are good as well. Narudo said as one by one he fired each of the five canai at the target easily hitting the mark as compared to Jeriah's F. Asked moving clones he was sure he could hit these with his eyes closed. Not that he'd do that for this test. Perfect score. Amazing job. The Chunin said as he finished jotting down his score before nodding and walking off. Narudo sama I see you got perfect as well. Maboui said with a smile as she too had passed this version quite fast as with the amount of people teaching them they were meant to be well-rounded. "It's a decent test with the distance of the target, but it was pretty easy, though we might be a bit biased due to how Jera used to train our marksmanship," Narut said with a chuckle as he and Maboui moved over to a nearby bench to sit down and wait for the others to finish up as he was looking forward to the next and final portion of the test. "Do you already have the jutsu you wish to reveal to pass? Maboui asked with a smile, happy to be so close to being able to finally stand beside him as a shinobi and protect and fight with him. I have a few in mind. One for sure that I am going to use as Yamamoto said it would shock some people, Narut said with a smirk as Maboui giggled slightly, already having an idea of what jutsu he was talking about before he looked over to her. What about you? Any ideas of which ones you will use? I doubt you<unk>ll show them the big guns though, he said as Maboui smiled and shrugged her shoulders slightly. I'll be able to decide easeier when it is time which looks like it is now. Maboui said as Aruka was now calling for them to group back up. Okay, with that the second portion is finished now stay together as the net part Rquir as us to make our way the arena in town since we cannot be firing off elemental jutsu safely around here especially with some earthstyle users amongst you all. Aruka said as they all started to leave the academy. So Aruruka sensei will we be given our headbands at the arena or will we have to wait a day to go over the results. Narudo asked as he and Maboui moved up to the front so they could ask. After everyone is done, we will be moving back to the academy to officially announce the results and hand out headbands one by one. Team placement though is tomorrow as the hokag has to go over the students that passed with the available Jonan to see who would benefit from which Jonan. Uruka said as Narut nodded and they continued to follow Aruruka until they arrived at the large arena. This AR ena is mainly used for the tunin exams whenever they are set to be hosted in Konaha. One by one you all will be called out to show off the three staple jutsu and at least two elemental jutsu to show you can handle using jutsu. You may show more to make up for points lost in the test and accuracy portion, but we only accept one extra. You gain points for the show of control over," Aruka said as Mizuki let out a whistle. "Everybody make your way to the waiting room on the second floor. When the tunin waiting there calls out your name, you may make your way down. We<unk>ll be starting with Shino Abu Ray and be moving alphabetically from there with Maboui being grouped with the Senju name. Mizuki said as they had been a bit confused by Maboui's lack of clan name, not knowing it was a Kumo tradition. for the family of Cage to abandon any clan name to prove devotion to serving as Cage along with the name of a Maboui though at the thought of having Senu as her clan name blushed at what brow ght in her mind before Narut snapped her out of her thoughts to allow her to follow the rest to the waiting room. One by one students came and went for their tests. Narudo mainly relaxing beside Mabu. I as they patiently waited for their turn. So, Senu, what affinity do you and the Kumo girl have? Sasake asked from his seat at the far wall behind them. You<unk>ll have to wait and see for when we use them around others. Part of being a ninja is keeping skills hidden to get the upper hand on opponents, Narudo said. As with all of his abilities, from his fruit and hockey to his status as a genturi, he had been raised to never reveal anything until there was a time he had to. Sasake, despite the fact that he walked away, didn't really seem annoyed. If anything, he seemed like he liked the answer. A look over to Sarata, who merely shrugged, which was a sign that it wasn't anything bad. "Next up is Maboui Senu. Please make your way to the arena for your test," the Chunin said as Maboui smiled and stood up. "Wish me luck, Nar sama," she said as he smiled up at her. I know you<unk>ll degrade, so knock them dead, he said before she nodded and walked off to start her test. Hoage's office though, just before he was called down, a knock came at the door behind them. A you are just in time. Please come in, Hisan said as he sensed the chakra of the person behind the door. Oh good, I feared I am. I'd have missed the last portion, a woman said as she entered the room. The woman was easily the same age as Shazun with a slim and toned figure with long brown hair that flowed freely with two bangs framing her face. Her headband slightly behind covered by the hair that covered her forehead. She had onyx eyes with a mole under her right eye. Her outfit consisted of a high collar long-sleeved poo rpl shirt with a flack jacket over it and a pair of dark blue form-fitting pants that had a tool pouch strapped onto her right leg and a pair of blue sandals to finish it off. A Jera Shazun and Yamamoto. I would like you to meet Izzumi Yuchiha. The Jon and I have picked for Naruto<unk>'s sensei. Hi said as I bowed to them. It is an honor that I was chosen to be his sensei. And don't worry I know of his situation as Jurki as well as how he is adopted. Izzumi said with a smile asade looked her over. She didn't feel anything off about the Uchiah in front of her. So her in ste NCTS told her she was fine but she'd still wait a bit to fully accept her. And how do you know of his adoptions as not many are privy to that info? Sununade said as I rubbed the back of her head with a chuckle. Well Makoto Uchiah was best friends with Kusha and she knew of the situation of you being Kusha child's godmother as well as what name Kusha had in mind. But don't worry Makoto. And I have already been told by Lord Hokage not to mention anything. Izumi said as sununade nodded, figuring Makoto would want to see Nar sometime soon with her being Kusha's best friend and all. "Okay, okay, enough chatting." Narut is about to start," Jeriah said as he pulled up a chair for Izzumi next to Sununade, and they all sat back down, excited to see Nar pass the final portion arena. Narut smiled as he stood in front of Aruka, Mizuki, and another Chunin as they sat behind a table near the edge of the arena. Okay, first you will start with the three staples. A clone, coerami, and a henge. How many clones you make is up to you, but one is the minimum, and you may henge anyone you wish as long as they are wellknown, Aruka said as Narut nodded. The clones were simple to make as he created three with a one-handed hand seal. He chose to make simple clones and not shadow clones, as those were for different occasions. that in using simple clones helped his control since in the beginning they were almost impossible for him to make due to the size of his reserves. Nice work on the clones. They look incredibly solid and welldetailed. Mizuki commented as they jotted down his score. Onto the coami, please. We have scattered logs and other things around for your to swap with, so it shouldn't be a problem. he added as Narut nodded before the other Chunin threw a paint bomb at him, allowing him to substitute with a log to show that he was capable of swapping places. Good reflexes and nice smooth coami. Now, please return and show us a henge, Aruka said as Naru to swap with the log again with a smile and quickly thought over who to change into before deciding and transformed with a puff of smoke. As the smoke died down, he had decided to henge into his moss. She was the person he knew the best since she was his mom. "Is this good enough?" Narudo asked, perfectly emulating her voice before he crossed his arms with a smirk, unaware of the proud smi, left from his mom as she watched as he had gotten her appearance perfect. A lady, makes sense you'd choose your mom, and it is very well done. Even the voice is indistinguishable from when he ar her at the briefing Lord Hokag gave about her and Lord Jeriah returning to the village earlier today. Aruka said as they finished jotting down the scores for the three staple jutsu. Now you ma why lower the henes now? It is time for your two elemental jutsu. Mizuki said as Nar dispelled the hench. Before you start, we need to know your affinities so we can be ready to score you correctly on the element you use. Baruka said while Narut nodded with a smile. I have water as my main and wind as a sub affinity. I will though be showing you mainly water as it fits my style better. Nar said as the three Chunan nodded and Aruka motioned for him to begin. Nar smiled as he ran through the three simple hand signs for the first one before he took a deep breath and aimed his towards a nearby tree, putting his hand in front of his mouth in the shape of a circle made with his fingers. Water style. Water trumpet, he yelled as he fired out a large jet of water that crashed into and destroyed the tree it was aimed at. Very nice job. Quickly molded the water and the pressure of it was very good. A definite pass. Now, please move on to the next, Barooa said as Narut smiled, proud of how well he did. This next one was something Yamamoto had taught him as a stable to being a swordsman. The seals were simple as he took in a deep breath before steadily letting out a stream of mist that slowly started to fill the entire arena. Hoage's office. Oh my. You taught Narut hiding in mist. Isn't that something only passed really around to swordsmen of Kiri? Izzoomi asked as Yamamoto nodded, smiling as he saw the consistency of Naruto's mist. Yep. But I figured he was my student and with his affinity towards water, he is a natural with it. His mist is even better than mine due to how well he can draw forth water. Yamamoto said before sununade shushed them. Quiet. I want to see my baby pass. Sununade said as they both nodded with a chuckle and turned back towards the scene. Arena. Wo. This is definitely surprising. You never see this technique really outside of Kiri. Baruka said as he couldn't see even 2 in in front of him in his echol location. Jutsu was messing up due to all the chakra in the mist. Yeah, the teacher I had teaching me how to wield my sword taught it to me. He said I could find use of it with my sword style, Narudo said, his voice bouncing around through the mist, disorienting the three chunin as they couldn't tell where he was. Please dispel the mist as we can't write your score with it up. Mizuki said as Nar chuckled slightly making tea hem tense at the tone the mist made it sound. Got it. Wind style. Great breakthrough. Narut said before a powerful gust of wind blew the mist out of the arena, dispelling it as since it was made by his chakra. His wind would be able to blow it away without it coming back. The mist was very impressive and a definite pass. Plus the added wind jutsu was of passing quality as well and shows UCA nu's wind alongside water. Uruka said as they finished up jotting down the scores. It is safe to say you have passed this last portion of the test. Your final results will be revealed when everyone is finished and we head back to the academy. Aruka added as Narut smiled and left the arena excited to get his headband after all of this. Nar sama, how do you think you did? Maboui asked as she had seemingly been standing and waiting for him to return. I feel I did really good, but we<unk>ll have to wait and see when the scores are announced. Narudo said as all they had to do was wait now. Then k fully there weren't too many others after him as they were able to return to the academy by the time the sun had just barely went past halfway through the sky. The classroom after the teachers had left was buzzing with noise and talking as others talked amongst themselves wondering what ranking they got if they had been good enough to pass or making guesses of what teams they all would be on. So how do you think you did? Choji, if he remembered the boy's name correctly, asked as he snacked on some chips that he seemingly had in his bag. I feel I did really good, but we<unk>ll see. Nar said as after they returned to the classroom, Shikamaru, a lazy Nara, Choji, Shino, a girl named Eno, and Sarata from earlier had all chosen to sit around him in Maboui. Shikamaru had originally sad do WN near him as he claimed it was quiet around him and Shino Choji and Eno had all followed suit. Shino was a quit boy but nice when he did talk. Choji mainly snacked and talked about how he was going to celebrate and at which restaurant. Eno a childhood friend of Choji and Shikamaru was a nice girl who alongside Sarata was the first girl to talk to Maboui and be friendly with her. Sarata seemed pretty friendly and nice. A stark contrast to her quiet brother who seemed to have a bit of a fan club surrounding him due to his cool and quiet charm added on with the fact that he was the son of the head of the clan. Okay, everyone. One by one, Mizuki will read out your names and whether or not you passed. If you passed, then come down and get a headband. If you failed, then you can always try again next year as there is nothing wrong with that. Or said as Mizuki cleared his throat and one by one it was revealed if they passed or failed. Shino was the first of the group around Narut to be called down with a pass with Choji following suit. Shikamaru was next to pass before the names came around to s Maboui Sanenju pass. Mizuki said as Maboui smiled brightly and in her excitement hugged Narut. Who hugged her back before her face lit up dark and she quickly rushed off to get her headband. "Are you two make such a cute couple?" Eno teased as Nar coughed into his fist. "We aren't dating or anything," he said as Aruka talked with Maboui, congratulating her on passing. "For now, I'm guessing," Eno added with a teasing smirk before Sarata rolled her eyes. "Don't tease him, Eno. Not everyone is there for you to pair up. Sarata said getting a playful smirk from Eno that showed this kind of thing might be the norm with the blonde before Mizuki saved Narudo by going to the next name. Nar Sanenju pass. Mizuki said as Narut smiled and walked down the steps past Mabui who was holding a Konaha and Kumo headband. He quickly figured I probably sent it ahead of time for her to show he was still with her. Narut Senju, I didn't doubt for one second that you would pass given how your mother undoubtedly trained you, but from now on, you forge your own name. You may be a Sen Jew, but now you are a Konaha ninja and will represent the village. I wish you luck and that you grow even more from this day on," Aruka said with a smile as he handed him a blue clothed Konaha headband before they bowed towards each other. As Narut sat back down, he held the headband in his hands with a smile, excited he had finally taken the first step on his path of being a ninja. Both he and Mabu, I were a bit silent as they waited through more names. Sarata eventually being called before Eno was one of the last names to be called due to her name being Yamanaka. He even was in a day slightly tearro farewell speeches. All he knew was that tomorrow he was to be assigned onto a team with a sensei where it would all really start. and he couldn't be more excited. Chapter end edit. As of the 1st of November 20, I went back through here and made some big edits. First off, I removed Sasake's dick-ish behavior as honestly rereading it now just makes me grown as I don't know why I did that. Remo Ving Sakura as fang girl why lines were also a big thing. It's not that she isn't there. She just mainly stays silent fawning over Sasake. He may not be the last Uchiha, but he still has some fan girls as girls love the quiet loner. Next thing, and I feel the biggest thing is I added Sarata as Sasuke's twin. This story was made before Boruto was a thing. And honestly, I feel Sarat would fit perfectly in here. She'll also be the third member of Naruto's team, so there's that as well. Last thing, I'm changing the herm a bit. I'm removing the third girl who was supposed to be Haku and replacing her as Haku is someone I always make a girl with three others. Meaning now it is a herm of five girls. I am so incredibly sorry for the delay. Ended up having to get blood work done. Nothing serious, don't worry. And T had took up half the day yesterday and I tried my hardest to get it done before going to bed. staying up till 5:00 a.m. to attempt to get it out, but I wasn't able to in my computer was being crap and doing an extra long upload this morning. Skeptical smiley face. I will though be making sure the story tomorrow is posted on time for sure. I hope unless life annoyingly gets in the way again. Itachi being a spy in the Akatsuk. I will be delved on more later as I wanted to include it earlier on, but it was somewhat hard to fit in. Basically, he killed only the uchiha involved in the coup and let himself be the scapegoat before e leaving the village to be a spy in the akatsuki for jera. Naruto's sensei is the girl from the anime that had a crush on him and I am giving her MS as Itachi probably used sukuyomi to help her as they were somewhat close before he left. I really like the idea of her MS specialty like how Itachi's was sukuyomi and sasake was Amiterasu as it makes her unique and powerful. for Kiboui. LL has a thing for Maboui and Maboui literally only has eyes for Narudo, so that'll be interesting for future moments. Also, I wanted to make the test simple, but still a bit evolved with the use of Elm Ental Jutsu and the target practice being much farther away. I was debating adding a combat test, but I decided it was unnecessary as the test is about whether they have basic skills to be shinobi ant. Combat was something they covered long before a midterm test, if you will. Also, for the hint of the next girl to be introduced as part of the herm, I'll give you this. She graduated last year before Eneruto's year and was hinted towards during the accuracy test. That probably makes it obvious, but consider that as a present for this super late update. Raid and review. Bye-bye. As the next day, Ro lleed around Narudo was still excited to learn who his sensei would be. He already knew his team was just going to be him and Maboui from what his mom told him. But his sensei was still a secret that his mom told him to be patient and wait until tomorrow to see. But as he sat in the classroom waiting for the teachers to arrive, his excitement only grew more and more as each minute passed. He was Finn ally going to become a full-fledged ninja with a sensei and everything. He'd be able to go on missions and make a difference with things and use his abilities to help. So, who do you think is going to be on your team? Eno asked, snapping him out of his trance before he looked down to the new friends of his. Well, I know I am going to be on the same team as Narut Sama, but I don't believe we will be getting a third team member," Maboui said, blushing a bit as Eno sent her a teasing smirk and nudged her with her elbow. "Really, though, a twoman team makes sense considering you two have been trained." "Ed, together for a good while," Shikamaru said before letting out a tired sigh. "I just hope my teammates aren't too troublesome, though, knowing the Enoika Cho trio, I'm going to have quite the bother." he grumbled out before Eno grew a tick mark on her forehead. What was that, Shikamaru? She growled out, making Shikamaru sigh again. Troublesome, he droned out as Choji and a few others around him. Chuckled while Eno glared at him half-heartedly. I know we won't get any actual exciting missions off the start. But I still am looking forward to this a lot. Being an official ninja an actual team with a sensei is the real thing. Narudo said before sighing as Ka moved up towards them. So babe, you think we are going to be on the same team. I certainly hope so. Ka said with a cocky grin while Maboui could only roll her eyes. Ka, stop it. Maboui isn't interesting in your flea self and for sure isn't going to be on your team. Eno said as she shoved him away with a slight glare. Oh really? How do you know? Ha asked as Narut rose his hand. I talked with the Hokag the first day we got here and he said we would be on the same team since we've lived together for a good couple of years. Narudo said with a slight glare annoyed again by the Inuzuka's attitude. Oh, really? What makes you get special treatment? Ha asked as Narut rose an eyebrow at him. I don't get special treatment. My mom is his former student and wanted to meet him with us and he then told us with how since me and Maboui have been living together for a good while. It makes sense to keep us together. Naruto said with a sigh before Shino nodded. He is right Ka as they have been trained together while you have not. Hokag sama would of course keep them together. Shino said as to him it was the only outcome that made sense. And if I was on your team I'd ask for a change for sure. Maboui said smirking as Ka visibly became deflated before taking a step back. Whatever maybe when we go on am I seen together you<unk>ll see differently babe. Ka shrugged it off with a wink before Aruka walked in. All right, everyone sit down so we can begin. The Chunin said after clearing his throat to get their attention thankful that he didn't need to yell today. Today is a big day for all of you as today you will find out your teams. But before that, I must say how proud I am of all of you making it this F. A r. And from here on out, you are no longer my students, but my comrades of the Hidden Leaf Village, Aruka said, smiling as his class clapped at him with smiles. Okay, enough sappiness. Let us get started, Aruka said before clearing his throat and quickly reading through the list of names and listing their team number and sensei. None of the names, though, were any Nar recognized until they got to team seven. Team seven was Sasake Sakura and a boy named Sai with their sensei is Kakashi Haki. Team eight ended up being Shino Hinata which was the name of the girl who kept nervously staring at Maboui and Ka with a woman named Kurinayi as their sensei. Team 9 was still active and team 10 ended up being Shikamaru Eno and Choji with a man named Asuma Serutoi as their sensei. And finally Narudo Senju and Maboui Senju. You two will be a team of your own. Team 11 with Izzumi Uuchiha as your sensei. Normally, we don't allow two member teams, but you are new additions to the class, which is normally insured, so there are no leftovers, Aruka said before he closed his folder and walked over to the door to open it. You all can come in now, he said as one by one, the sensei walked into the room. From now on, these are your sensei, and they will continue to train you and ensure you grow stronger under their teachings. work well to get along and work well as a team from this point on. He said before signaling for the Jonan to go on, Nar looked around for his sensei before he saw a brown-haired woman walk up to him. Nice to finally meet you, Nar. I am Iumiuchi and from now on, I will be your sensei, she said as Nar stood up with a smile. It is very nice to meet you, he said as he shook her hand before Maboui did the same. Well, we still need to introduce ourselves more. Esso, meet me at the front gate of the Uchia district. I'll be waiting for you so we can go to where I plan to talk with you two, she said before disappearing in a puff of smoke, showing that she was a clone. Best not to keep her waiting. Narudo samai said as Naru nodded and they headed to leave the class, waving to their friends as they left with the sensei ahead of them. It must boil your blood to have an uchiha as your sensei. Doesn't it send you? Sasake asked with a smirk, making Narut sigh and look over at him. Actually, no, it doesn't, as I don't<unk>t have an unrealistic hatred towards the Uchia like you seem to have for me and my clan. I look forward to what Maboui and I can learn from her, Narudo said, ignoring Sasuke's slight glare and huff before he and Maboui left the class. Ro and quickly made their way towards the Uchiah district. About time you all showed up as here. I thought I'd have to fail you. Izzoomi teased before she stood up from a nearby bench and threw away some dango sticks she had been snacking on while waiting for them. Sorry, someone stopped us just before we left. So, where exactly are we going? Maboui asked as they followed Izzumi through the Uchia district. A friend's house where I will ask my questions about you. Plus, my friend wants to meet you, Narut. She's an old friend of your mothers," she said. Making Nar raise an eyebrow before the wink from her made him realize she probably meant his birth mother. Maboui and he looked around the district as Izzumi led them through it. And for the most part, there were some of stairs, mainly directed at him. Do most Uchiha have an unnecessary dislike towards Senu? He thought with a sigh before I stopped in front of a large house. Come on. No use standing around and keeping her waiting. S he said as she opened the front door and led them inside. Makoto, I'm back and I brought Narut and his girlfriend. Izzoomi yelled out with a smirk which only grew as a blush grew on both his and M. Ui<unk>s faces, but before they could retort, a voice interrupted them. Oh, good. It's<unk> about time I see my best friend's child, another woman's voice said before the source stepped out into the entryway. T he woman had fair skin with long straight black hair that had bangs on either side of her face to frame her cheeks and black eyes. She wore a simple dark purple blouse with a reddish purple skirt and a pair of black calf high socks. "Oh my Makoto, if the name Izumi said earlier was anything to go by," said as she looked him over. "You look so much like your father, but it is so nice to meet you." Naruto, she said with a smile as she grabbed his hand and held it with hers. I It's<unk> nice to meet you as well, he said unsure of what was all happening before. Makoto giggled a bit and let go of his hands. Sorry, this must be odd to you. Please come in so I can explain and your sensei here can do the standard introduction, Makoto said before I walked past her. Welcome on my little Jennon, we see a n talk in the living room and ask the usual get to know you questions, Izzumi said as Narudo ant. Maboui followed Makoto into the main living room. "Please sit down. It is so nice to see you after so long," Makoto said with a warm smile before the woman sat down next to Izumi, slapping her hand as their sensei tried to reach for the cookies on the table. "So you know my mom, like my birth mom?" "Nar," Yudo asked as the subject of his real mom was an odd one since his current mom always came to mind when he thought of the word mom. He didn't doubt his birth mom loved and cared for him while he grew inside her. Butsunade was all he knew in terms of a mother. Yes, she was my best friend and rival. We even were on the same team as Jennon. We buted heads, but she was always someone you could rely on. Makoto said before moving the plate closer to the two of them and slapping Iumi<unk>s hand away again. I'll find Makoto. I get it. No cookies. Iumi grumbled before she cleared her throat. How about we get on to the team introductions? You like names, likes, dislikes, and dreams for the future. I'll start, I said before she motioned to herself. My name is Izumi Uchiha. I like Dango, my family, relaxing in the sun, sweets, and a certain someone that had to leave on a long-term mission. I dislike people who bear grudges, act cocky, disregard their teammates, and traders. As for my dreams for the future, I dream of having a family with the man I love and retiring peacefully when he returns," she said with a warm smile before motioning to Maboui. "Ladies first, you next," she added before Maboui smiled and nodded. "I'm Maboui. I like standing beside Narudo Sama, training, getting stronger, and repaying my debt. I dislike people who insult Narut sama, rude people in general, perverts, and dislike me just because I am from Kumo. My dream is to become a strong Kunoichi, able to bring pride to Kumo. And she said before trailing off and her eyes flickering towards Narut for a second before blushing, making both and Makoto giggle. Okay, we get it. How about you, Nar? Izumi said as teasing and getting the two of them closer was going to be really fun. Well, I am Nar Senu. I like training, spending time with my friends and family, and working to become a better medic and swordsman. I dislike rude people, perverts, traitors, and people who lear at my mom. As for dreams, I want to be a great medic and a great swordsman, make a name for myself, and maybe even have a family of my own, he said with a smile, not noticing the darker blush and smile on Maboui's face as she looked down at the ground. Very nice goals, the both of you. Now, normally I'd give you a final test, but honestly, I don't feel you need it, she said as she stood up and smiled at the two of them. T he final test is mainly to see if you can work alongside those picked to be on your team, but you've trained along the buoy for several years, so I doubt I have to worry. I said as she had already got any okay to skip over the test by the Hokag if she felt like it. Plus, I think you can listen to me well enough, she added as Narudo and Maboui nodded. We look forward to working with you sensei. Maboui said with a bow before Narudo did the same. Good because we start missions tomorrow. So go share the news with Sununade and enjoy the rest of the day as tomorrow we<unk>ll be going on a lot of missions. She said as the two of them nodded. I'm sorry that we have to leave. I'd like to talk to you more about my birth parents and stuff. Narudo said as Makoto nodded with a smile. That would be wonderful. Feel free to drop by whenever you want. My doors are always open to you and Maboui. Makoto said before picking up the plate of cookies. Please take some for the road, she insisted with a smile. As Narut and Maboui took a cookie before leaving to head back to their home. I swear he's as energetic and bright as Kusha. Makoto said with a nostalgic smile from remembering her best friend. And I can tell he'll be surprising just like how she was from your stories of Kusha, Izzumi said as she quickly snatched a cookie off the table while Makoto rolled her eyes but smiled, hoping her words to be true. Our missions tomorrow most likely will be derank but even then I find myself looking forward to them a bit. Narudo said as he held his hands behind his head with a smile. Same here as a Daunade did say. We all have to start at the beginning before getting to the more serious missions. Mabui said before they saw Shazun walking down the street, who in turn noticed them. Oh, hi. You two already done with your first meeting with your sensei. Shazun asked. Excited to see how it went for them both. Izzumi sensei was very nice and friendly. We met at a woman named Makoto's house and got to know each other. Maboui said with a smile as Shizun nodded, already having known that Iumi planned to introduce Narudo to Kusha<unk>s old friend. Makoto is a very sweet woman and I'm glad you get along with your sensei so far. Your mother is probably excitedly waiting for you too. Return, Shazun said to Nar before she looked at the time with a frown. What's wrong, Shazoon? Nar asked as Shazun sighed. I have to rush to the store for something and need some help. Maboui, can I maybe get your help? Shazun asked, trying to send Maboui a signal which the girl thankfully got as her eyes widened and she nodded. Of course, I don't mind helping you at all, Maboui said before looking over to Nar. I am sorry, Nar sama, but are you okay with going home without me? She asked as he nodded. Sure, but I can come along if you need the extra help, he offered before both of them waved him off. We should be able to handle it. Thank you though for offering. four. Now you should head back home and share the good news with your mom," Shazun said while he just shrugged his shoulders and watched as the two of them walked off, leaving him alone to head home. "Though as he headed home, he was distracted as while passing by a nearby training grounds, he heard the sounds of something hitting into wood rapidly. Curiosity got the better of him as he could hear the whoosh of things. Ly Ing through the air before hitting what he figured to be a wooden target and grew interested in how someone could be throwing weapons so fast. As he peaked into the training grounds from the leverage pe oint of a high up branch on a tree, he was surprised by the amount of wooden targets, all covered with metal weapons embedded into them, and even more surprised by the variety of weapons in the targets, as well as the fact they were still being thrown by someone. The person was a girl with soft brown hair done up in two buns with a pair of brown eyes that he could see were narrowed in concentration. She wore a white long-sleeved high-colored white blouse with maroon edges and a pair of maroon puffy Hakima styled pants and a pair of black fingerless gloves and black sandals to finish it off. Her body, not that Narudo was looking, was lean, her chest not too big but not small, being around a midb cup with a rather toned and bubbly rear. Though before he could watch more, he quickly had tea. O leap back to avoid a shuriken thrown from his right and a figure appeared behind him. What are you doing here? Spying on my teammate? A male voice asked as Narut turned around to face a rather annoyed looking Hyuga who had his Bakugan activated. Wasn't exactly spying, just curious what the noise was since I could hear it from the nearby street, Narudo said as the Haug didn't look convinced. Team 9 has this training field booked so best to go on your way before you get in trouble, the man said before they heard someone sigh. Neji no need to be so serious like that. He was just interested and came to check. The girl said as she stepped out from the bushes having heard her teammate rush off. Her sentence stopped midway as her eyes widened as she looked at Nar. Why your Nar Senu son ofSunade Senju? Right? The girl asked as Nar nodded and stood up dusting off his pants. Yeah, sorry about peeking in on you. I just heard so many weapons hitting targets and was seeurious to see it. Narudo said before the girl grabbed his hands and looked up at him with stars in her eyes. Oh my god, I can't believe it's really you. When I heard you and your mother came into the village a few days ago, I wanted to find you, but my sensei forbid me from doing it. I have to say your mother is my role model and an amazing person. The girl said excitedly making Narut chuckle as h e had expected something like this though was surprised by how less weird he figured it would be. Yeah, my mom is pretty great. It is nice to meet you, he said before trailing off as he hadn't gotten her name yet. Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Tenton and this is my teammate Nei, she said, adding in the last part off-handedly. Say, I heard you passed the marksmanship test using sunb. No one has gotten a pass. Using sunb since? Well, me? She said with a proud smile while Narut nodded. My mom and older sister of sorts taught me how to use them since being trained as a medic learning how to D. I sable opponents with the pinpoint hitting of nerves is a handy skill, he said as Tenton nodded understandingly. Say, if you have some time, do you want to show me some of your skills with Zenbon? I am training to be a weapon expert and I'm always interested in seeing more ways of using them. Tendon said as she mainly used Sunbon to make her opponents waste time blocking them so she can get the stronger weapons of hers ready to throw. Um, sure. I guess I have a few minutes to spare, he said as he knew they were planning something given by how odd Shazun was acting, so he might as well give them time to prepare. Great. Thank you so much for this. It's not every day I get to meet the son of my hero and see their skills, Tendon said before she started to drag him into the training ground. A disgruntled Nei following behind them. Quick question, why is my mom your hero? I mean, I know she's a sin and everything, but I'm just curious, Narudo asked as they entered the clearing where he saw two large storage scrolls unrolled on the ground where Tenton had been standing previously before. Nei had found him. You mom is just amazing. She is the epitome of what Kunoichi should be. Strong, smart, beautiful and independent while also being able to work with a team. I've looked up to her since I was a kid. Even tried my hand at medical ninjutsu and getting stronger like her. But being a medic just wasn't for me, Tenton said, ending with a frown before she shook it off. It was then that I discovered seals and fujutsu and decided to work from there where I then found out my knack for weapons and decided to become a weapon master. She said before Narudo smiled and nodded. Being a medic isn't for everyone, but I'm glad you found something you can work towards as by the amount of bullse eyes around us. I can see you are doing well with your goal. Naro said as with literally every target around them, the bullse eyes were the only part that the weapons were in. Thanks. That means a lot, Tenton said, quickly turning around to hide the blush she got from the son of hero complimenting her. Say, Senju, is it true you have a girl from Kumo on your team? Neji asked, "Does Narut nodded? You can call me Nar and yes, Maboui is originally from Kumo, but began living with me and my mom after I helped her. She is from Kumo but has permission to be here and be a ninja for Konaha as well. Narudo said having a reply ready as he figured many Hayuka wouldn't be too happy about Maboui though he understood why. After all the elders of Kumo who still had the last rakage's mindset and greed had brought a lot of pain to the Hyuga clan. But he had hoped that the return of the body as well as a formal apology from Kumo would help heal things. Whatever, just tell her to stay away. F rom lady Lady Hinatada Nei growled out before walking away to a nearby tree still watching but deciding to give them a bit of space. So Narut said as he pulled out some sunblan can be used to knock someone out. Instantly he asked as Tenton nodded excitedly and he spent the next few minutes showing Tenton some tricks he learned to do with Sbon. All in all, H E found showing his skills to Tenton interesting and the girl very friendly, especially since with him just getting settled in Konaha. He didn't know all that many people his age, so getting to know the weapon user was fun. I'm sorry, but I really must go. My mom is expecting me home. Well, she was expecting me immediately after I got done with meeting my sensei for the first time, Narut said as Tenton frowned, but understood. Well, don't want to keep your mom waiting, but maybe if it's okay, dot, can we hang out more some other time? Tenton asked with a smile. It's<unk> just nice to see someone with a thing for weapons as well. Plus, I'd like to see more of what you can do as well as that sword you are carrying around, she added as he chuckled and nodded. Of course, Tenton, I'll see you around, he said before he quickly headed off, leaving a smiling Tenton behind. Seriously, Tenton, why are you getting friendly with him considering his teammate? Neji said, making Tenton sigh. Nei Ellings towards Kumo, but she isn't Kumo and Narut isn't either. Plus, he is the son of my hero and is actually a cool guy. I mean, did you see his skills with son? She said, motioning to the straw training dummy that was basically a pin cushion due to the amount of her son the two of them had thrown into it. Mainly him though, plus his sword. I can just feel it's amazing. Don't judge him. Before Ryu actually get to know him, she added before Neji grunted and walked off basically meaning he<unk>ll try, but he won't like it. Thankfully for Nar, as he got home, it seemed Shazun and Maboui were still out. Mom, I'm home, he called out as he entered the house to see his mom waiting in the living room. About time you got home. Come here. Tell me how it went, she said with a smile, patting the seat next to her as she said her tea down. Iumi was nice, she took us to meet a friend of my birth moms named Makoto. We did the standard introduction and she sent us home after deciding we didn't need a test. We start missions tomorrow, he said excitedly with a smile, making his mom chuckle as she ruffled his hair. Glad you're excited, Narudo. But please, when you get to higher missions, be careful. For me, said as she had already told her son of the story of how she lost her fianceé, Shazun<unk>s uncle, and her brother. She always stressed to be vigilant when on missions when she was training him the years before, and still wanted to. I know, Mom. I'll be careful, and Maboui will always be watching my back. I promise I'll do my best not to make you worry, he said, smiling warmly as his mom draped her arm over his shoulder and pulled him in for a hug and kissed the top of his head. "That's my boy. So, did Maboui go off with Shazoon?" she asked before he rested his head on her shoulder. "Yashi went to buy stuff for the party," he said, makingSade grown. "I swear Shazun is terrible at hiding things like that. At least try and act surprised for her, Sununade said, making Narut chuckle and nod. I know, Mom. I have practiced from all the times she let the birthday parties slip, Narudo joked before the two of them laughed. You know I'm proud of you, right? And that I'll only continue to be more and more proud of you, Sununade said as she pet her son's head. Of course, Mom, and I'll do everything I can to keep it that way. I want to make a name for myself, he said. A you understanding since he was in her shadowed due to her last name. Just be safe. That is all I care about. I can't lose you. She said since from when he got his headband her old fears had been rising up a bit more. Even though she trusted him and believed he was skilled enough to stay safe. Old habits like worrying die hard. But she still had faith with all his training and abilities he'd be okay. For now, she'd enjoy the peacefulness of Dank missions before seeing how quickly he makes his way out of her shadow. And knowing him, it probably won't be long. Chapter end. Important. I have a poll out on my profile that I need your opinion on, so please vote if you have the time. Carrot Carrot. Sorry again about the later update. Honestly, I might make the decision I made the poll about at the end of this week. I'll try for an update on Thursday, but I have another kidney doctor appointment, so we'll see. I honestly couldn't think of a bell test like test for Maboui and Narudo from Izzumi as honestly they don't need it. Kakashi's test was to get them to work together and Maboui and Narut already can work together. Also from this chapter on I am happy to say Tenton is the next pairing girl. The pairing is now revealed to be the last one will be revealed in time. Next chapter I might show some missions before getting to the first real arc that involves fighting. finally right. Lol. Plus, it'll lead to the next girl being introduced. Until next time.
