What's up everyone? How are you all? Today we are back. Wit t another blazing Narut story. What if Nar was Indra's son and neglected? If you enjoy then please like, share and do comments and also check the description to Origal creator of this beautiful creation. Sasake heard screaming and yelling from down the street and he wandered that direction over the rooftops wondering what the hell was going on. He reached it and looked down only for his eyes to widen in horror as blood sprayed across the ground. Nar lay against a building with a pitchfork through his gut and a huge puddle of blood beneath him that connected to a trail that led away like he'd run here and been trapped. The spray of blood had been when a nin jumped forward and slashed his blade across his friend's throat. He gasped and then jumped down. What are you doing? Get away from him. He ran over to Nar, who wasn't moving, and he fell to his knees, quickly, checking for a pulse. He found none, and he spun to the crowd. How could you? He was my friend. They backed away from the angry Uchi, and then a brave one stepped forward. He's a demon. He deserved it. He killed our families. He's an innocent idiot that I couldn't even see squishing a fly, much less killing anyone. The people growled, and the nin spoke again. I don't care if he is the last. He's a demon lover. Kill him. Sasake's eyes widened and he got into a ready stance. He didn't want to kill and he was only a jennon and not even fully that. But he sure as hell wasn't going down without a fight. He drew two canis from his canai holder and readied himself for a fight. Then it started. He slashed left and right, trying not to fatally wound anyone as he cut through them. Many fell to the ground in screams being civilians. But then he got to the Junan that hated Nar as well. He was surrounded with no way out when a smooth, deep voice spoke loudly in a commanding tone, "Enough!" He turned and saw Nar standing from the ground. He yanked the pitchfork out and threw it to the ground, never taking his eyes off the jun, his black eyes cold as ice. The wounds in his torso healed, and he straightened up, looking dangerous. They watched as his hair lengthened past his waist and black streaks spread through it. He grew taller and his features more delicate. His skin pad to look the same shade as Sasake, who was staring in shock. Long bangs formed in the front and tape wrapped around them. His clothes changed to a white and black outfit that had wide flowing sleeves and tomos on it. He held out his hand and a long black staff formed in it. The cold eyes focused on them clearly and then to all of their absolute shock morphed into fully matured Mangeku Sheringan. He spoke again in the same commanding tone. Leave the boy or I will kill you. The Junan<unk>'s eyes were wide. H how do you have the sharing demon brat? Naruto<unk>'s eyes narrowed. How indeed? But does it really matter to a future corpse? I wonder. They all edged back at the killing intent that flowed off of the boy. He came forward smooth like a panther. He reached them and pulled Sasake behind him, looking at them in challenge. His eyes narrowed and then widened and the design started spinning. Sukuyomi. Seconds later, they screamed and fell to the ground in heaps. He waved his staff and they were blasted away from them. He sighed lightly and turned to Sasake who was looking at him with wide eyes. He smiled and then the exhaustion hit him. He'd been killed and then revived and then thousands of memories added to his brain. It was a surprise that he'd managed to stay up this long. His eyes faded back to black which revealed itself to be more of a navy blue before his staff dropped from his hands to clatter to the ground. His body gave out and he collapsed forwards hitting the uchiha with his body. Sasake quickly wrapped his arms around him to hold him up and he slumped unconscious. Sasake quickly turned him and saw his eyes closed and he hesitated a minute still in slight shock before he bent down and picked the staff up off the ground. He then moved his unconscious friend to a better position and jumped up onto the roof. He headed towards Naruto's apartment and he saw the third Hokag running towards where they'd been. The man didn't notice him and he sighed in relief, adding on a burst of speed. He reached Naruto's shabby apartment and then went to the blondes, well used to be blonde room. He laid Nar down on the bed and then put the staff next to him and sat down. He watched as Nar slept lost in thought. How did Nar have the sharing? Not just that, but he had been dead. So, how was he alive? What had happened to his looks? Since when had he been so cold and ruthless? His voice had held the air of a very powerful man, commanding and deserving of attention. It had held an undertone that meant, "If you don't listen to me, you won't live to regret it." He sighed. So many questions, and the only one to answer them was the unconscious blonde boy in front of him. Also, Sukuyomi, the way he used it, it reminded him of Itachi. The killing intent he'd exuded had been powerful. He'd never felt that powerful other than his brother. What had he done to those men? What had he shown them? He sighed again and decided that he would just stay here tonight. It was already late, and he was worried about his friend. He had been dead, stabbed, and he didn't want to leave him until he knew he wasn't going to die on him. He stood and went to the living room where he took off his shoes and laid down on the couch. He grabbed a folded blanket from nearby and moved to a more comfortable position, staring off into space as he thought. The test with Kakashi sensei was tomorrow, so hopefully Nar was awake and ready to go by then. He didn't want to tell anyone that Nar was weakened, so hopefully he would bounce back quickly. He had felt burning in his eyes since he'd seen Naruto<unk>'s dead body on the ground, but he just set it aside in his worry for his only friend. It wasn't too painful, though. He'd had a sharp spike of pain as he screamed at the mob before they'd attacked him. He closed his eyes and tried to relax, best be in good condition in case someone attacked again. He was asleep a few minutes, having no idea that his friend's death had transformed his eyes to their most powerful form so far. Three blades swirled in their depths with designs inside the blades. He had awoken the Mangeku sharing. Nar woke up with a major headache and feeling a bit sore in the abdomen, probably from the pitchfork he pulled out after he'd come back to life. He groaned and sat up, rubbing his head and looking around. He was in his own room. That was a surprise. And there was no one else in the room. He sensed another presence in his living room and was confused to recognize it as Sasake, but he set it aside and stood up a bit unsteadily. He swayed a bit and then gained his balance before he looked down at himself. He was wearing Indra<unk>'s old outfit, and he could see his long black and blonde hair around him, not tied up. He sighed and went to his closet. This was a bit obvious. He looked at his orange jumpsuit and then waved it away and dug through until he'd found the package he'd gotten on his graduation day with a note that said, "Happy graduation day, Nar. Here's some supplies. Your father would want you to have them." It had no name, but he'd sensed the old hoage's chakra on it. He opened it and smiled as he saw the clothes in it. They were a pair of loose black pants and a long-sleeved black shirt. The shirt was high- necked and had spots around his elbows and wrists that were tight. The pants were just standard ninja pants that were meant to tuck into tape wrapped around his ankles. With all this was a strange cloak that had flames on the bottom in red, while the rest was white. There was nothing written on the cloak, and the sleeves were short meant to go over his clothes. He put on everything but the cloak before he grabbed his weapons pouch and tied it to his thigh. He brushed his spiky hair and then tied it in a low ponytail that hung down the middle of his back in a slightly messy way. He nodded in satisfaction before he grabbed his staff and went into the living room where he could sense Sasake. He reached him and prodded him with the staff. He got no response and he prodded him again. This time he groaned and opened his eyes before his hand went above him quickly looking for the enemy that had woken him. He saw Nar waving and pulling back his staff and he stood before he turned. Explain. Oh [ __ ] They jumped over the roofs towards the training grounds at as immense speed, allowing people to only see their black blurs. Sasake had been shocked, but he hadn't flipped out as bad as Nar had thought he would. He had, of course, asked to be trained by Nar in the use of the sharing in Narut had agreed, stating that as the last named Uchiha besides Itachi, he needed to be powerful enough to revive his clan. Sasake had been very happy with this. Now they were going for their genine test with their junan sensei. Nar had his staff hooked to his back diagonally as well as the katana thei had given him with his clothes. This was hooked to his waist. They arrived at the training grounds and landed so quickly that it took Sakura a few minutes to realize that they were there. She immediately hooked to Sasake's arm, looking at him with hard eyes. Nar chuckled at Sasuke's irritated look, drawing her attention. She looked him up and down and then spoke. Who are you? Let me guess. Nar flunked out. And you were sent in that loser's place. Well, it doesn't matter anyway. You're probably just as bad. Sasake is definitely better at fighting than you. Sasake scoffed, giving him a knowing look. He smirked. Oh, I'm a loser then. How about a small spar? Just a little one between you and me, Miss Sakura. She smirked. Watch me beat him. Sashkun. Sasuke smirked. "If you manage to beat him, I'll give you that date that you asked for." Her eyes became hearts again. "Really? I'll definitely beat you, Baka." Nar just chuckled and looked at Sasake. "Betting a lot, aren't you?" Sasake waved his hand. "I don't<unk>t think that I need to worry now. Die." Nar smirked. "No, I wouldn't say that you do." They got into ready stances and Sakura immediately charged him. He easily dodged before his fist met with her stomach. She was sent backwards and then he was in front of her again in a black blur. He kicked her in the chest, sending her flying into a tree and then she fell to the ground unconscious. He smirked, "Foolish girl!" Sasake chuckled and sat down on the ground while Nar sat on a tree branch above him. He leaned against the trunk and closed his eyes, simply listening to the sounds of nature. Sasake just sat there brewing over his own feelings, and Sakura was just plain unconscious. Sakura woke up about an hour later, but then they waited two more hours before a silver-haired man appeared in the clearing. Sorry, I saw a black cat. And you see, to avoid bad luck, I had to go around alone. [ __ ] He quickly dodged the canine Nar had thrown as the blonde spoke again. You're just late. There's no such thing as black cats bad luck, and you and I both damn well know it, Kakashi sensei. Kakashi looked up, and the boy jumped down, landing in front of him. His eyes widened as he saw the familiar clothes of his old sensei. And then he went over the boy's features again. Um, what happened to you? Me? Oh, I was killed and found a way to come back to life and I ended up like this. You died? Of course I did. You think me a liar? I was stabbed through the stomach with a pitchfork and then had my throat slit with a canai. Sasake here came across my dead body. You can ask him. Kakashi pald as Sasake nodded. The Uchiha spoke. I heard screaming and I went to see what it was. I was horrified. Nar was slumped against a building with a pitchfork through his stomach. I arrived just in time. He took a deep breath like it was hard to speak to see his throat get slashed. Kakashi gasped and Nar unconsciously rubbed his throat. Yeah, that hurt a bit. Wait, you're lying, you idiot. I don't know how you tricked Sasukeon, but you're lying. Narut turned to her and his eyes flashed with the sharing for a moment. Really? You think me a liar? Tell me, when have I ever lied? Um, well, you are. I know you have. Just admit it. Nar shook his head. You can't even think of something. Well, that's your problem. So, Sensei, when is the test starting? Kakashi regained his composure. 5 minutes. The task is to get these bells from me. He held up two bells and then continued. The people that get the bells pass and the one that doesn't goes back to the academy. The two males nodded, but Sakura screeched in anger. Wait, what? That's not fair. We passed the test. Nar stepped forward. Tell me, you learned three jutsu, right, Sakura? Yeah. What's it to you, Baka? Naruto's eyes narrowed marginally in anger, but he continued, if in a big colder voice, "How many jutsu do you think a tunin knows?" She thought a moment. Well, about the same as us. He shook his head. No, a tunin must know at least 10 jutsu or he will die in the field. You may not need to show the jutsus to become a tunin, but if you do not have more than three jutsus, you will be killed in battle. She looked a bit nervous now, but that must not be true. If it was, we would have to do more to become jennon. That is the job of your junin sensei. They teach you more jutsus. Kakashi sensei, also known as copy ninja Kakashi, knows over 1,000 jutsus. Kakashi's eye widened. How do you know my name on the field? Gagi, you think that I wouldn't investigate all of my possible teachers? No, I know. I see. Sakura spoke. Well, then you'll die. You could never learn that many jutsus. You're a loser. Sasake cs better than you. Nar pinched his nose and then suddenly made a rapid series of hand seals before putting his fingers to his mouth fire style. Great fireball jutsu. A giant fireball spat from his mouth, lighting up the entire clearing. It sped towards Sakura, but then Nar sped in front of her and made more seals water style. Great wall of water jutsu. A giant wall of water rose up in front of them, stopping the fireball. Once the steam cleared, everyone was staring at him in shock, including Kakashi. He shrugged. I know more than that, but I think that it's not wise to use more chakra with the test coming up. Kakashi's eye widened. More chakra. You made that water wall out of nothing. Even I can't do that. Only the second Hokag was that powerful. Nar shrugged again. I only used a small portion of my chakra. I have large amounts. Kakashi's breath caught in his throat. Was he using the fox's chakra? He shook his head to clear his thoughts. Well, then let's get started. He pulled out an orange book. Go. Naruto's eyes caught on the book and his eye twitched. Indra had not been able to stand perverts. He shook his head and pulled his teammates into the bushes. He pulled them farther away and then stopped and sat down. I think that we can agree that this is about teamwork. Sasake nodded, but Sakura shrieked. What makes you think that, Baka? There's only two bells. Sasake [ __ ] and I will get them and you'll go back to the academy where an idiot like you belongs. Naruto<unk>'s eye twitched again and he sighed before he spoke. One, I have never seen only a twoman jennon team. Two, the bells are meant to separate us so that we can't properly use teamwork, which is the only way to beat a Jun as Jennins. Three, shut up. He probably knows where we are now. She growled. You shut up, Baka. He shook his head. Now, if you'll listen, I've got a plan. She turned her head away. I won't listen to an idiot like you. Sasake had had enough. He stalked up to her. Listen here. Nar is completely different than you think. I will not have you speaking to my friend like that. So either shut up or else. She gasped. You You agree with the idiot. Sasake [ __ ] It's Sasake, not Sasuke [ __ ] I am not close to you. I never plan on being close to you. Nar is the only one that I plan on getting close to anytime soon. I can't stand everyone else with their muttering about the last duchiha and how to gain his money and genetics. It's ridiculous. Now, if Naruto's got a plan, we will listen and that is final. She looked between them with wide eyes and then nodded. A all right. What's the plan, Nar? It goes like this. It had been a month since the test. They had, of course, passed due to their teamwork. They had been doing Dank missions since. Nar had gained patience with Indra<unk>s memories, so he didn't throw a fit. He knew these missions helped their training by making them closer as a team. He was no fool. He snuck from behind the tree he was hiding behind and sensed his teammates's chakra coming. So, he did his secret move none of them knew about. They were catching Torah, so he simply pulled a can of tuna from his weapons pouch and opened it with a cany. He heard the rustling in the bushes stop and then pick up and the gray cat came from them with her nose up. She saw the tuna and ran over to it, eating it quickly. He saw the pink bow on her ear and smirked too easy. When she was finishing the last drop, he snagged her, holding her where her claws couldn't get him. She hissed and tried twisting, but he held firm and she stopped, looking as angry as a cat can about her imprisonment. His teammates arrived and looked at him in surprise. You caught the demon cat. Nice one, Nar. Thanks, Sasake. Let's go turn her in. AC rank, Lord Hokag. But they're only month into being Jennon. You can't send them on AC rank so soon. Kakashi looked at the tunin. Listen, my team is very skilled. If I say that they can do this, then they can probably even do a B rank and be fine. I'm very cautious. Aruka was about to speak when the Hokag broke in. If Kakashi says his team is ready, I'll believe him. Now, yes, here it is. The mission is to guide a bridge builder by the name of Tuna to Wave Country. It should last 2 weeks, but maybe more as he isn't trained to travel like a shinobi. Kakashi nodded. Hi, Hokag Sama. Where is our mission? Come in, Tuna. An old man that smelled of alcohol walked in and looked at them. This is my team. I asked for shinobi, not a bunch of broads. Pinky over there looks like a strong wind could blow here over. Sakura growled. I'll have you know that I was the smartest person in my class, old man. Nar put a hand on her shoulder. The smartest, not the strongest. Now, please stop your yelling. That is an inappropriate action in front of a client. Shut up, Baka. I don't listen to idiots. Tuna spoke. You called him an idiot. He was the intelligent one in that conversation. Her jaw dropped and the Hokag stepped in. Enough. Now the mission leaves in two hours at the gates. You are dismissed. Narut, Sasake, and Kakashi all fisted their hands over their hearts and bowed, "Hi, Hokag Sama." Sakura stayed silent, pouting, and they stood before they disappeared. Serbi sighed, "What is wrong with the door these days? First Jeriah, then Manato, then Kakashi, now Nar and Sasake." Nar sighed as he saw the puddle. He knew it. Ever since they'd left the village two days ago, Tzuna had been jumpy and wary like he expected to get attacked. Now this puddle, it hadn't rained in a week. There shouldn't be a puddle. He heard movement and then two figures busted out of the water. The ins snared Kakashi, or rather Kakashi's substituted logs and then destroyed Kakashi in a spray of blood. Nar sped forward and the first man fell quickly with a slash of his sword. The next man was smashed into the tree and he crumpled to the ground in a heap. Nar stalked over to him as he tried to get up and slammed his throat into the tree before he caught the man's eyes and activated his sharing. "What are you doing here?" The man seemed to fight his sharing in a minute and then he gave in. We were to eliminate Tzuna, the bridge builder for God for a million yen. Naruto's sharing deactivated and he stabbed the man through the throat, letting his lifeless body go. He wiped the blood from his sword on the man's trousers and then turned back to the others who were looking at him in shock. Kakashi dropped down from the tree above and looked at Nar in curiosity before he turned to Tzuna with a glare. Explain. Tzuna gulped, but Nar made a show of sheathing his blade and leaving his hand on the hilt ready to draw. He finally spoke. God is trying to stop me from building a bridge from the wave to the mainland because it will ruin his illegal cargo shipments. Our country is too broke to get the proper rank, so we sort of cheated. This is at least a B- rank mission. Do you want us all dead? These ninjas are fresh from the academy, not ready for B rank. Are you trying to get them killed? Um um no, but please, we really need your help. Nar sighed. We should help him. Kakashi sensei. You did say that we were capable of doing a B-rank mission, and he obviously needs help. Kakashi looked at him a minute and then sighed. All right, we continue the mission. Let's go. The next attack was of a more powerful foe. Nar grabbed his team and threw them to the ground while Kakashi grabbed Duna. Nar then darted his hand up and grabbed the hilt of the long blade as it spun over his head. He caught it with a small grunt and then flung it back at its owner. It was caught by a tall man with bandages covering the lower half of his face and upper part of his shoulders. He smirked. So, one of you is able to wield my Kabikira Bojo. Impressive. Tell me, boy. What's your name? Narut Uzu Maki. Yours? Zabuza Mumichi, the bloody demon of the mist. Kakashi gasped. He's out of your range, Narut. Move aside. I'll take care of him. Zabuza looked at Kakashi and gained an evil grin. Copy Ninja Kakashi. I wanted to see you. I want to kill you. Kakashi fell into a ready stance and lifted his hide eight to reveal a sharing gin eye. I won't let you pass. I won't let you hurt my team. The team stepped back though Narut watched wearily in case he needed to intervene. Then the battle started same as in canon. Don't want to rewrite that. Sorry sad face. When the battle was over, Nar watched the strange hunter nin take the body away in suspicion. In Indra<unk>'s days, the hunter nins had destroyed the body then and there. He didn't have time to ponder this when Kakashi collapsed from chakra depletion and he had to catch him. He hefted the man on his back and looked at Sasake. Can you carry Tzuna? I want to travel the ninja way with Kakashi sensei out of Kamizen. Sasake nodded and turned to the bridge builder. Get on my back and tell us where your house is. Sakura, guard the back. Sakura nodded and Tzuna climbed onto the Uchiha before they took off again. Tzuna led the way until they arrived at a small village a few hours travel away. He led them to his house and Sasake set him down. He led the way in and offered the guest room for Kakashi to be placed. Narut nodded. Thank you. Sensei needs rest, but we will guard you until then. Rest assured. I have not yet shown my true abilities and neither has Sasuke. Tzuna nodded, looking away. Thank you for convincing your sensei to continue with the mission. I would be dead if you hadn't, and this really is the only way to save my village. Nar shook his head. Don't thank me. It was the right thing to do. Therefore, I did it. Tzuna sighed. I think that I've underestimated you, kid. Oh, why? You seem wise beyond the years of a teenager, and I saw how easily you took care of those two ninjas that first attacked us. Nar was silent for a moment. Then you're right. I'm holding back a lot. Not even my team knows what I am truly capable of. Now it's late. May we stay in here with Kakashi sensei for at least the night? Of course. My daughter would have my hide if I didn't allow that. Nar nodded. Thank you. Tuna san. Come eat dinner. I'm sure Tsunami has already made enough. Nar smiled now. All right. Sakura looked at Kakashi in confusion. Tree walking. We can climb trees easily. I said tree walking, not tree climbing. As he said this, he walked up the side of the tree they were in front of and then threw canai at their feet. Mark when you feel like you're going to fall. Nar picked his up with a smirk. Hey, Sasake. Look, two new canis. Thanks, Kakashi sensei. Um, what? Oh, Sasake and I already know this ability along with water walking and leaf balancing. Kakashi's visible eye widened in shock. What? Yeah, we have excellent chakra control. Say, can we train on our own on something else instead? Um, sure. What? A secret ability of mine that I've offered to teach Sasake. It's<unk> rather private, so I prefer if we could do it in private. Kakashi seemed uncertain, but he nodded. Nothing too dangerous. All right. There's no good hospitals nearby. Nar nodded. All right. I promise it won't affect us that badly. Go ahead then, Sakura. Let's get started. Nar led Sasake off into the forest until they arrived in a small clearing filled with flowers where Nar sat down and gestured for Sasake to do the same across from him. He spoke. Now I don't know if you've noticed, but when you saw me die, you awakened what is known as the Mangeku sharing. Sasake gasped the eyes heachi has. Yes, but all Mangeku are different. Now there is a couple powers the Mangeku hold. One is amiterasu or unquenchable flames. They will burn and burn and never die out unless you will them to with your eyes. A second ability is sukuyomi or the perfect illusion. It holds you in a world that the sharing user created and it will hold you there for 72 hours which in reality is 3 seconds in the real world. The user may do whatever they wish as it is their created world. Sasake gasped like what it did to me. Yes, that was Sukuyomi. Now another ability is Susano. Susano is a warrior that cannot be pierced. Each Susano holds a sword that will put your enemy in a permanent genjutsu for the rest of their lives. They will be in a coma forever. The next power is kamui or the ability to manipulate space and time. It essentially allows you to create a bend or ripple in space. It will allow you to travel to places immediately or be untouchable, phasing people right through you. The last is Koto Matsukami and it is the ultimate illusion. It goes into the minds of whoever it is used on and change their memories, making them see whatever the caster wishes them to see, making it seem as if it actually happened. It can change someone completely. However, it is a very strong technique and can only be used once every 10 years unless you have the DNA of Hashiama Senju. Sasake's eyes widened. I remember Itachi and Shisui mentioning that ability. Shisui had that ability with his eyes. Is there any way to find out my abilities? Yes, but all of this comes with a warning. Unless you are me, you will eventually go blind with the overuse of your eyes. There is only one way to reverse this. If you implant the Mangeku of a brother or brother-like figure, it will grant you the eternal mangu sharing and you won't go blind. Sashik gasped and touched below his eyes. I'll go blind only of overuse. You needn't worry if you only use it in emergencies. Sasake nodded. All right. So, can we find out what I can do? Activate your eyes as far as you can go and look into my eyes. Don't freak out. I will not use any illusions to trick you. Sasuke nodded and pushed Chakra into his eyes until they swirled into his Mangeku sharing. Nar did the same and then looked into Sasuke's eyes and pushed Chakra into the ability only he had. Only he could divine the true powers of a sharing without seeing it in action. After a few minutes, he pulled away. You have the ability to use Susano, a perfect Susano. You can also use Amiterasu and you have a very small ability for a weak sukuyomi. Don't be disheartened by the small number. Most Sharing user have only two abilities with their Mangeku. I am the only one that can use all of them. Sash nodded and Narut smiled. Would you like to try some of these abilities out? A small amount of use will not harm you and it's better you know how to use them for an emergency. Sasake smiled and nodded. Yeah, all right. Focus on that rock over there. Imagine it being enveloped in black flames, burning it to nothing but ash. I'll try, Nar sensei. Nar grumbled about smartass friends, and Sasake smirked before he did as his friend had said. The rock caught on fire and burned until nothing remained, and Nar smiled. Perfect. Next is the Suzano. Now, we don't want it to be seen by anyone, so just focus on your torso being wrapped in unbreakable armor that wraps around you. Obeys you. Sasha nodded and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. A moment later, there was a purple glow that turned into the skeleton of a large warrior. Waist up, holding a sword. Nar clapped. Great job. Now, drop it and we'll move on to the last one. Sasuke smiled. Yes, I'm doing great so far. Nar smiled. I am going to deactivate my sharing and lower my barriers. Try to cast an illusion on me. Anything you wish. Sasake nodded and Naruto's eyes returned to dark blue before he looked at Sasuke's eyes. Sasake pushed an illusion forcefully out and Nar looked around to see crows on the trees around him. The grass had turned brown in death and the trees were barren. He looked and saw Sasake smirking, "I got you." Narut flared his chakra, destroying the genjutsu, and clapped again. Great job. You're a natural. If I didn't have the sharing, I would have been trapped. Sashik nodded and then swayed. Wo, I'm dizzy now. Nar caught him as he fell. Deactivate your sharing. The first time always takes the most chakra. Great job, but let's get you some rest. Sasuke nodded again, and his eyes darkened to black. Narut supported him until they got to Tazuna's house and Kakashi stopped them. What's wrong with him? It's nothing. He's low on chakra because of the technique we were practicing, though he did do an amazing job. It's always the most chakra draining on the first time. Kakashi looked at Sasake worriedly and the Uchiah waved. Yeah, just tired. I want to hit the sack. Nar nodded. Let's get you to bed and I'll wake you up for dinner. Sasake acquiesced and Narut took him to his room. He walked back out and was about to leave the house when a little blur ran up to him. You're just going to die. It's no use. God's too strong. You should just leave. Nar looked down to see an angry boy by his feet and he looked at him with a raised eyebrow. Excuse me. You're just going to die. God is too strong. You don't even know pain. You've probably live a pampered life. Naruto's face grew cold and his voice sounded colder than the Arctic. What you little brat? I said you've never known pain. Naruto's killing intent skyrocketed. You think that you know pain? My parents died the day I was born. Murdered by a demon to save me. Then for my entire life, I was told that they had abandoned me because no one wanted a demon brat. I was hated, scorned, crucified, stabbed, beat, starved. And you think that you know pain? I know of your dad. I heard. But at least you had him for a small amount of time. I never knew my parents. Sasake. Sasake's entire family was murdered by his big brother when he was eight, right in front of him, and then he was tortured as he was forced to watch it over and over again. Kakashi Sensei's father committed suicide because he had put his team in front of a mission and he didn't want his son disgraced. So don't tell me that we don't know pain. Get over yourself. I get it. Your dad died doing what was right. So did mine. So did Kakashi's. So get over that. No one's felt my paw and [ __ ] right now. I will not accept it. I won't listen to some little brat tell me that I don't know pain. The kid's eyes were wide in shock. That that happened to you. That happened to all of you? Yes, it did. Every word I spoke was the truth. I don't lie. The boy's eye grew watery and he ran away and Nar closed his eyes and pinched his nose, breathing deeply in and out for a few minutes to control his temper. He finally calmed down and left the house, leaving a shocked bridge builder that had heard the whole thing behind. That night, Tzuna approached him while he was staring out the window. Hey kid. Nar didn't even turn. Yes. All of what you said to my grandson was true. Nar sighed. Yes, it was. All of it. Tell the little gaki that I'm sorry for yelling, but I can't stand when people act like they got the worst of everything when they have no idea. Tuna was silent a moment. I'm sorry that all of that happened to you. It's fine. I get it. The world is cruel. It's nothing. The few friends that I've made helped me through all of that. Tzuna sighed and nodded. All right. It's nice to see that some people can rise above all of that and be as kind-hearted as you. It helps restore my faith in humanity. I'm glad. Good night, Tzuna san. Tuna nodded and left, leaving Nar staring out the window and one awake Sakura crying silently. She had heard what Narut had said to the boy, and she realized that she had the best of their entire team. At least she had a mother and father. Kakashi watched the house in a tree, and he sighed as he saw the lone figure sitting in the window, his blonde and black hair highlighted in the moonlight. What had that boy been through? He'd heard of Naruto's life, sure, but not all that. He'd stayed away from the boy when he needed it most, only to avoid getting hurt. Now, Nar had become a great person, but he knew that his happiness was only partially a mask. He was lonely and hurt. Manato's sensei wouldn't have wanted that for his son. He'd wanted him to be seen as a hero, and he'd been seen as the opposite. He didn't even know his parents. He thought a moment, hesitant about the decision he just made. Should he tell the boy? He'd seen him fight. He'd taken down two Chunin level opponents and gotten information. He still didn't know how he'd done that. Plus, he'd caught Zabaza's blade as if it was a normal katana before he flung it back. He was powerful, that was for sure. Kakashi knew that he'd only seen a small amount of Naruto's power. For some reason, he felt as if the boy was hiding his true power. Why? He didn't know, but it was a gut feeling that Nar was more than what he was showing. He jumped to the window and Nar looked at him. Hello, Kakashi sensei. Is it my shift? No, but please come with me for a minute. Nar. Nar nodded and stood before they both jumped down and Kakashi took him to where the occupants of the house could not hear it. Listen to me, Nar. I am not supposed to reveal what I am about to tell you until you're at tunin. However, I see that you're holding back. How much? I don't know, but definitely tunin level. Nar nodded looking confused. What your parents' true identities? Nar froze in shock and looked at Kakashi in hope. Kakashi nodded. Their names were Manado Namakazi and Kusha Uzumaki. Nar, your father was the Yandami Hokag. Nar gasped. The the fourth Hokag was my father. Yes, he was. He was a brilliant man. He was gentle, kind, caring, strong, and he cared for you deeply. The night that he was forced to seal the fox in you, he was crying. Manato's sensei never cries. Never. For him to be crying. What he had to do broke his heart, but it was the only choice. Naruto's eyes teared up. He He cared about me. He didn't hate me. No, Nar. He didn't. He loved you very much, as did your mother. The tears fell and Kakashi wrapped his arms around Nar, letting him cry against his chest. It lasted for about an hour before Nar sniffled and relaxed into his arms. He felt more than saw the blonde fall asleep and he sighed before he picked him up and carried him to his bed. All in all, he was glad he'd told the boy about his parents. The way he'd reacted, it hurt Kakashi's heart. He thought that Manato had hated him when in reality he was. To Kakashi's sensei, his life, his sunshine. They decorated him a room, named him ahead of time, listened to him as he grew in Kosa's body, celebrated their child, and then had it all ripped away. He looked up at the moon through the window and then to the stars before he spoke in a near silent whisper. Manato, I hope you can see the man your sons become. You would be proud, Sensei. I hope you're happy. Cammy looked down as the oneeyed man told the boy of his parents. And then she went down to earth. She touched the blonde boy's forehead and watched his memories, all of them, including Indra Odetssuki's. Nar had indeed lived a hard life, very hard indeed. Indra<unk>'s life had been filled with loss and the search for revenge. But Nar had somehow overcome this with only his 12 years of life. He'd changed Indra<unk>'s entire perspective on life. She tapped her chin and the boy shifted lightly, muttering the word, "Dad!" in his sleep. She heard, "Miss miss you, Dad." and she sighed. Oh, Shinagami was right. She was too soft. She didn't meddle in the world of the living often. But this boy's destiny was to defeat the greatest danger the elemental nations had ever faced. She should help him. He would go through a lot of stress and pain in the future, and he could have at least this. She went back to the realm of the gods and found Shinagami waiting for her. The male death god sighed. Let me guess, you want the soul of Manato Namakazi? She smiled and blushed. Um, yeah. I was hoping that you'd give it to me. You're too soft, Cammy. I know, but you know that I only meddle in the mortal plane when there's a very big threat coming, which is only once every thousand years. Shinagami crossed his arms. He gave his soul to me. It's<unk> mine. Cami sighed and put on her sad face. Please, I really want him. You wouldn't refuse your wife, would you? Please, Shinny. Shinagami was indecisive, and his wife looked up at him. You get to choose dinner for the next hundred years if you do this. Please, Shinny. This is when I want to meddle. It's been since the sage of six paths that I've had my fun in the mortal plane. Shinagami sighed and slumped. Damn his wife. He was too soft on her. But who could refuse that sad face? Certainly not him. Besides, she was right. She hadn't done her fun in the mortal plane in over a thousand years. Fine, I'll do it. Damn, he was my favorite, too. Oh well, here Cammy dear. He reached into his mouth and pulled out a man-shaped form that he dropped to the ground. It groaned and sat up, rubbing its head. That was disgusting. Where am I? Cammy came forward and pulled him to his feet. You are in the realm of the gods, Manado Namakazi, because I am granting your son a gift. His attention immediately snapped to her. Am Nar, is he okay? Calm down. He's fine. Watch what I show you and you will understand why I wish to grant Narut a wish. A scene appeared on a screen floating midair. It showed a little blonde boy getting chased by a mob, beat, stabbed, tortured, and starred. Next, it showed the same little boy crying on the ground under a scraggly blanket with a picture of a man, a woman, and a child held in his hand, obviously handdrawn. The woman had long red hair and the man had blonde hair while the boy had blonde hair and was holding the other two figures hands. He was whispering little words to his mommy and daddy asking if they'd really abandoned him. Manado's eyes teared up. Oh no, Nar. No, we didn't abandon you. We never wanted to leave you. You were our sunshine. I'm so sorry, Nar. So sorry. The scenes continued. The boy running through the streets chased by an angry mob. the people teaming up against him, the cruel words and harsh punishments, the fear, the anger. He watched as a shop owner threw him a mask and called him a demon and told him to leave. He watched as the boy cleaned up a mess he made and someone called him a that. He ran away crying. He watched as he was purposefully taught wrong to make him the dead last of the year. He watched as he was forced to catch his own food and live on the streets when the orphanage kicked him out repeatedly. They still continued and Manato fell to his knees. No, no, no. I'm so sorry. So sorry, Narut. Please, please. I'm so sorry, son. So sorry. Tears ran down his face and dripped to the ground below. But he watched his son's pain, feeling that it was his duty. It was his fault. He watched as even through all the pain and suffering, the abuse, his son became a bright and happy boy, loyal to his village. Nar graduated the academy and no one congratulated him besides Sasake, his Uchiah friend and fellow orphan. Nar died and was brought back. Kakashi, the pink-haired girl, Sasake, what they had gone through in their first mission so far. Naruto's words, his speech to the boy. Cammy came over to him and he looked up at her, his eyes red from crying. What have I done? What have I done to my son? He He doesn't deserve this. No, I'm sorry, Nar. She reached down and grabbed his chin, tilting his head. Manato, I'm sending you back. Manato's eyes widened. W what? I am sending you back to be with your son. Your life is a gift to Nar for what he's gone through and what he will go through. And yet, he will persevere. You will be reunited with Nar. Manato gasped. I I get to try and fix what I've done. I get to see my son. Say sorry. Yes, I am going to revive you in Naruto's apartment. He will be back from his mission in a week and a half. What you do is your decision. I I'll stay hidden until he returns home. I want him to be the first to see me. She nodded. Good choice. I wish you a happy life with your son, Manado Namakazi. Treasure him, protect him, show him love and kindness. He needs a father's love. I I will. Thank you. Thank you for giving me this chance. Do not thank me. live. Live for your son. Goodbye. Nar sighed as he felt Zabaza's chakra again. He'd known it. The man was still alive. That was too easy of a death for someone so powerful. He looked at Sasuke. He's here, Sasake. So, he was alive. Yes, I knew there was something suspicious. You ready? Sash cracked his knuckles. Born ready, Narut. Good. This will be a pain and I might be forced to reveal my special ability. If that happens, you will be joining me. Kakashi looked between them. You guessed it as well. Yeah, we knew Zabuza had to still be alive. That hunter Nin should have killed him straight out, not taken his body. Kakashi nodded. I thought the same thing. Well, well, well, if it isn't the little ninjas again. Nice to see you once more. I look forward to seeing you dead at my hands, Kakashi. Let's get started, Haku. The bridge builder. A female voice spoke. Yes, Zabuza sama right away. Naruto's eyes narrowed. Guard Tuna Sasake. Let's take down this fake hunter. Of course, Nar, you won't be able to. You'll die. Ice style ice mirrors. Mirrors of ice formed around them, and Naruto's eyes narrowed further, watching as the girl sped from mirror. She thought he couldn't follow her. Foolish. His eyes activated. Let's destroy her quickly. Sash Kakashi sensei may need help. Right. Sasuke's eyes swirled into the sharering as well and Haku's eyes widened. How How do they both have fully evolved Sharing? How is this possible? I heard there were only two Uchihas left and I've seen Itachi Uuchiha. Neither one is that man. So, how is this possible? [ __ ] I won't be able to beat them. No, I have to try for Zabuza sama's sake. The blonde pulled a katana out and watched her as she sped around. A small amused smile made its way onto his face. I can see you, Hiku. I can follow your movements. You think you can win? Foolish girl. Nothing escapes my eyes. I am the first wielder of the Sharering, Indra Odetssuki. Nothing is out of view for these eyes. Her eyes widened in shock and horror. This was Indra Oditsuki, the eldest son of the sage of six paths. How? She couldn't win against that man. Indra Oditsuki was known as the fastest man alive when he wanted to. She gasped as a fireball hit the mirror she was in and sped to another one. Your fire can't melt my mirrors. Nothing can. He pointed at where she'd been. Really? She turned to see that wherever the fireball had splashed across the ice, it had melted it completely. How? How did you do that? No chakra can melt these mirrors. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ahead of yourself, aren't you? I used nature chakra, which I have gathered in my staff the entire time I've had it. There's quite a store there and nature chakra is the most potent of them all. So potent that if you do not control it, you turn to stone. [ __ ] I can't win. I can't win. Another blast melts the mirror she was in, and she barely dodged, gaining a few burns as she does so. She saw the black-haired boy watching this with Sharing active, not helping. Could Indra really take her on alone? She had no doubt. He didn't have a scratch and four of her mirrors had been melted as well as taking injuries. She pulled out her senbon and started throwing them just trying to keep moving so that he couldn't target her. All she needed was to gain time for Zabuza sama until Kakashi and Tuna were dead. The Senbon were blocked and another fireball hurtdled towards her. She dodged, barely missing again as her mirrors are destroyed. She was down to half the original now and he still wasn't even scratched. She was so outclassed that she could feel her death getting closer each second. One of these times he would catch her and she'd be a goner. There was a crack and a cry of pain and Naruto's red eyes narrowed. That sounded like Kakashi. He would end this quickly. He started making hand seals and he looked at Sasuke. Use Susano or this will hurt. Sasake's eyes widened and he was immediately surrounded by a purple warrior that shielded him. As Narut finished his seals, he slammed his hands into the ground, fire style, great firewave of annihilation, fire spread around him in a huge tidal wave that destroyed the remaining mirrors and sent Haku flying away, smoking. Sasake dropped his Suzano so that all of his abilities wouldn't be revealed right away. The fire died down and he looked at Nar in shock. That was amazing. Nar smiled, panting a little heavily from chakra drain. Yeah, I know. Maui invented it. And since Indra<unk>'s soul was in him, he learned it as well. That's great. Now, let's help Kakashi sensei. They rushed forward and saw Kakashi lying on the ground with a broken leg and a gash across his chest. Since there was blood, they knew it was a real body. Nar went over to him and bent down, checking his pulse. Finding a steady one, he stood. Hey, Zabuza, you wanted a copy ninja. How about I give you two? Zabaza's voice came from the mist, sounding slightly surprised. Two. Narut smirked. Let's go, Sasake. First real enemy. Let's have fun. Sash smirked as well and got ready, his sharing gun spinning. Let's But first, let's clear away the mist, shall we? Wind style. Wind side. He blew outwards and the mist all blew away in a big gust to reveal Zabuza standing on the water, looking at them in shock. Their heads lifted where he could see them and his eyes shrunk to pin pricks as he saw two fully evolved sharing users. His skin went sheet white and he gasped. How? I heard that there were only two uchihas left and I've seen Itachi. You're not him. The blonde smirked. Well, I might not be Itachi, but by the time I'm done with you, you wish I was. Zabuza Mumichi, let's dance. Somewhere in the afterlife, Moa sneezed. Hm. Someone must have used my favorite phrase. Wonder who? Back to the fight. Nar held out his staff and twirled it. A ball of energy started forming in the middle in front of his hands, and Zabaza's eyes widened as he felt pure chakra wash over him. The ball suddenly shot forward and smashed into his chest, sending him flying backwards to land in the water. Nar spun and before the man could react, threw a canai that pierced Zabaza's shoulder. Just then, he heard a scream and he spun to see the bridge covered in thugs. One of them had just buried their blade in the helpless Haku's stomach and twisted. Naruto's eyes narrowed. That wasn't going to happen on his watch. He sped forward and started ripping through the thugs, snapping necks, bissecting bodies, slitting throats, burning people alive. He reached Hiku and grabbed her before he jumped back. He started making hand seals, and the water rose up behind him, coming from the river, water style, tidal wave. The wave crashed down and washed most of the thugs into the river where they drowned, not knowing how to swim. Now Nar fell to one knee, panting. He had used two major jutsu today, and his chakra was running low. He hadn't gained access to the fox's chakra yet, still having to speak to the demon about it. He felt movement, and he spun to see a blade coming down on him. His eyes widened and it slashed across his chest. He cried out and fell backwards, landing on the ground, still panting from the jutsu. His vision started growing dark and he saw a large form appear in front of him and start fighting the bandits defending him. Blackness encompassed him. Zabuza spun at the sound of Haku's scream. And so did the man he was fighting. The man's eyes narrowed and he flashed down there and started cutting through the men to get to the injured Kunoichi. Holy [ __ ] he doesn't act like a jennon. A genine wouldn't kill so effortlessly and ruthlessly. Hiku, I had to save Hiku. The Kunoichi girl was like a surrogate daughter to him. He treated her like a tool in case he ever needed to leave her. She would be able to survive. But now she was injured and his enemy, his enemy was rescuing her. He saw the man grab Hiku and move her before he started doing hand seals. Suddenly, a giant tidal wave rose up around the bridge and smashed into the mob, killing many and sending many to their deaths of drowning. He saw the sharing user fall to one knee, supporting himself with only his hand as he panted. His eyes widened as he saw a bandit approach the unsuspecting man. The man spun and his red eyes widened before the blade went across his chest and blood sprayed to the ground. He collapsed to his side, breathing raggedly, and Zabuza sped forward, pulling Kabiki from his back. He slashed his sword across the enemy Nin's chest, and he saw the sharing user close his eyes and fall limp, breathing weakly, he started cutting through the enemy, and then the second boy that had been with the blonde nin rushed in and started helping him, cutting through them quickly. When all that was left was God, Zabuza sped forward and bisected him before he went back to see the black-haired kid picking the other one off the ground gently. He checked for a pulse and then sighed in relief, obviously finding one before he looked up. Why did you help Naru is like my daughter and he defended her even if she was his enemy? The blackhaired kid eyed him a moment before his eyes darkened to black and he gently stood trying to avoid jostling the injured man in his arms. He walked over to Kakashi and found the man awake, wrapping his leg in bandages. Kakashi froze as soon as he saw the unmoving form in Sasake's arms. Nar. Sasake, what happened? We were fighting Zabuza and then a band of thugs came and stabbed the girl, so Narut rushed in to help her, but he used two energy draining jutsu today and he collapsed to his knee in chakra exhaustion. One of the thugs took this chance to wound him, but Zabuza stepped in and saved him before killing Gado. Nar is unconscious. Let's get that wound wrapped. He heard a delicate voice speak. Zabuza sama, can I heal him? Go ahead, Haku. He saved your life. The girl nodded and staggered over before she placed her hands over the wound. They glowed green, and the wound started healing together until it was finished, and Hiku smiled. Done. Nar groaned and opened his eyes partway, looking at them blurrily. His eyes opened further and he blinked a few times before focusing on Kakashi. Kakashi gasped as he saw the two red eyes looking at him. Nar hadn't gotten a chance to deactivate the sharing before he'd passed out, and he was too groggy to notice right now. Sasake looked at him and tapped right below his eye, and Naruto's eyes widened before they darkened to navy blue again. He clutched his chest and sat up with a small groan of pain before he found Zabuza and cocked his head. You helped me. Yes, Hiku is like a daughter to me and you saved her. Both Hiku and Narudo<unk>s eyes widened and then Narudo smiled. I see. Well, thank you, Mr. Zabuza. What are you going to do now? Don't you want to capture us? You helped me. I helped you. You broke Kakashi Sensei's leg, so it's up to him. I know that I can't chase you. Sasake would put up a good chase and probably win with you weakened like this, but I don't see why. Sure, you tried to kill our client, but you're not anymore and are no longer considered a threat in my eyes." Zabuza blinked a few times. Hm. I see. Well, is there any way to join a village? Huh? Well, even though we're your enemies, you helped us, and I want to live in a village with people like that. I'll become a nin if you want and fight for Konaha. Naruto turned to his teacher, Kakashi. Sensei. Kakashi thought a minute and then sighed. Yeah, we can try to get you as part of the village. Let's<unk> rest at Tazunis until the bridge is complete and then we'll head home. We should be healed up by then if Hiku helps. Nar, we need to talk. Nar sighed and turned. Yes. Kakashi sensei, I think you know what. How do you have the sharing and even fully evolved and I know they're natural because you can turn them off. Narried again. You're right. They're natural. Kakashi sensei. You know how I died? Yes, you told me. Well, I have the soul of Indra Osatsuki in me. He brought me back and he gave me his sharing. Kakashi's eyes widened. Why you have the first sharing in existence? Yes, and all of Indra<unk>s memories. Please don't tell anyone. Only Sasake knows. Kakashi was silent a moment. I will make that promise with one exception. Nar looked uneasy. What is it? You tell Hokag sama. He needs to know. Narut sighed in relief. I was already going to do that. Kakashi sensei. Kakashi nodded. All right. I think that you should at least tell Sakura of your eyes because she's your teammate. But that's your decision. I'll think on it. Kakashi sensei. Good. Thank you. Nar sighed as he finally arrived home from that mission. They had stayed another week and a half until the bridge was done, but then they'd come home. Serbi had allowed Zabuza and Hiku in and was testing them in a week to see what rank they would be. They had a week off, though of course training didn't count. Kakashi had given them one say, but that was it. He opened his door and was immediately wary. He sensed someone else in his house and he didn't recognize the chakra. His house was also clean, completely spotless. He crept in and heard humming from the kitchen as well as the sound of water and his eyes narrowed. He suddenly flipped out and threw a canai and he saw a blonde head of hairspin and then duck behind counter with a [ __ ] Whoever it was stayed there and he spoke, "Who are you and why are you in my apartment?" He heard a gasp and then a deep male voice. I'm going to slide my weapons pouch and canai holster out and then I'm going to stand. Please don't attack me. I can explain then do it. He heard movement and then a weapons pouch slid out along with a canai holster. A headband with the leaf symbol came next and then a cloak that looked like the one the third had given him, except for the kanji for fourth hokag on it. His eyes widened in shock as he saw the cloak and his eyes fastened on where the man would be rising, filled with hope. This this had to be a dream. Hands rose up and then a blonde head and then the rest of a tall broad body that faced him. He gasped as he saw the familiar features and then activated his sharing to make sure this wasn't a henge or a genjutsu. It wasn't. The fourth Hokag stood in front of him looking a bit worried at his lack of response so far. His eyes filled with tears and the canai in his hand dropped to the ground. Dad. The man's eyes widened and Narut threw himself forward. He hit the man in the chest and grabbed him tightly. Is that really you, Dad? Please tell me this is real. Arms wrapped around him, supporting him and holding him tightly. This is real. Cammy sent me back so that you could have your father. She answered, "Your wish." The arms tightened and Nar felt wetness hitting his head as the man in his arms started shaking and his voice lowered to a cracked whisper. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry that I wasn't here until now, Nar. I wanted to be Oh, God. I wanted to, but I couldn't. I'm so sorry for what's happened to you because of the fox." Nar just hugged him tighter. "It's okay. It's okay, Dad. You're here now. I've wanted a father for so long. I always thought that you abandoned me and now I know you didn't. I'm so glad that you're back. So glad. Manato gasped and then just held him tightly, letting him cry into his chest. He hadn't been there before. He sure as hell would now, even if it cost him his life again. His son needed him. When he was done, he pulled away and wiped his eyes. Sorry about that. I just I haven't cried in years except about not having parents and to finally have my dad. It was too much. No, don't apologize. I should be apologizing, not you. You're never too old to express your feelings. Never. Nar smiled weakly and his father smiled back. The younger blonde sniffled and then finally saw his dad's outfit and his eyes lit up in amusement. Is that apron pink? Hey, it's light red. It's my favorite apron. Nar chuckled, breaking the mood. It's just you're one of the most feared shinobi in the world, and you wear a pink apron. Manato pouted and crossed his arms. So mean to me. Nar smiled brightly. Odd. Just like me. I like it. Manato looked startled for a minute before he chuckled. Yeah. All right. Now, I've been here for about a week and a half and I've hidden that I was here because I wanted to surprise you. Unfortunately, I can't cook. So, how about you change into something cleaner and we'll go get ramen from Ichiaku's. Naruto's face lit up, his weariness immediately gone. Yeah, right back. Then he was gone. Manado chuckled and finished wiping the counters down, which is what he'd been doing when his son had gotten home. The state of his apartment was deplorable. Empty ramen cups, trash, dirty clothes, and dust had been everywhere. The hot water didn't work. There was graffiti on the walls. The windows looked to have been replaced multiple times. And his bed was in the worst condition Manado could imagine. He'd of course gotten these faults fixed, and he planned on moving them both to Namakazi Cottage as soon as possible. His son wouldn't live like this while he was alive. That was for sure. He took off his apron that he'd gotten from his cottage and dried his hands before he combed through his hair with his fingers to at least try and smooth it a little bit, but it of course didn't work. He grabbed the stuff he'd slipped out when Nar had first gotten home and re-equipped himself with it before he pulled the well- aimed kana that had barely missed his head from the wall. He set it on the counter for Nar when he came out and then slipped on his shoes and waited. He didn't have to wait long. Soon Nar came back out with a clean version of what he'd just been wearing. And Manato noticed that his eyes were still red and not from crying. His sharing gin were still activated. Your eyes are still active. Nar blushed and they turned navy blue again. Sorry. It seems like they're not even activated because I don't notice the drain on my chakra and I don't go blind with them. I did the same thing during the mission. That was a pain to explain to Kakashi sensei. Manato chuckled as his son put his shoes on. I see. Now, are we revealing me or waiting? Nar froze for a minute. Him? That's up to you, Dad. Do you want to get mobbed? Manato's face pald. Um, no. So, a henge then, at least for now. I want to spend some time with you at least for a while before I have anything to do with the people of this village. I'm not very happy with them right now. After seeing how they treated you, I'm actually quite disgusted. Nar chuckled. A henge it is. Now, I'm hungry. Let's go. Manato smiled and put up a hench that changed his hair to the same length as Naruto's and completely black. His facial features altered slightly and his clothes changed to a regular tunin outfit. With this done, they left, heading towards Ichiaku's. Manato watched with thinly veiled disgust at the angry, accusing glare's cast at his son. He knew that Nar felt them. The boy was as stiff as a board, but he studiously ignored them and kept going forward. The next time he saw a glare, he released some killer intent, and the villager paded and turned away quickly. He continued this the entire time they were walking and he saw Nar loosen up a small amount and give him a smile of thanks. They reached the ramen stand and Nar smiled brightly. Hey old man Tui. I've come for food. Tui turned and smiled. My best customer. Hello Nar. How are you? First mission a success. Yeah, it was so cool but really dangerous. It was actually a B-ranked mission but we finished it. Tui gasped. already a B-ranked mission. My lord, boy, you sure attract a lot of attention. I bet it was that sunshine hair of yours that drew the assassins. He said this with a joking smile, and Narut pouted, "Not my fault. I like my hair, though. I bet my dad's was the same." Tui chuckled, and Manato saw a flash of sadness cross the old man's face. So, this man knew of Naruto's parentage. The next words out of his mouth confirmed it, at least to Manato. I bet he did. Nar, I bet he did. Manato smiled. Hello, my name is Arashi. I met Nar a while ago and he said this was the best place in town. It's nice to meet you. Tui's eyes widened. He was one of the few that knew of Manato's old nickname during missions due to him being a retired Anbo. He saw Arashi's eyes narrow in recognition and then a quick wink confirmed his suspicions before Arashi spoke again. I'll have miso. What kind do you want, Nar? Nar smiled brightly. I want pork. Tui smiled. Right up. You heard them. Ayame. Yep, papa. Sure did. Coming right up. Manato turned to Nar and caught the boy's eyes before he leaned down. I know Tui from when he was anu. Nar nodded as his confusion was cleared up, having caught the quick signals between his dad and the ramen cooker. I thought it was something like that. Makes sense. Now, let's eat. Ooh, there's Sasake. Manato turned to see the black-haired Uchiha walking down the street. Nar hopped up and forcefully dragged the boy over to the ramen stand, much to his indignant yelps. Nar, put me down. What the hell? Nar smiled. I want you to come eat. I know that you can't cook worth crap. Besides, old man Tui just perfected his tomato ramen. Sasuke's eyes lit up at the thought of tomatoes, and he allowed Nar to drag him over. He was sat down on the other side of the young blonde and Narut ordered some tomato ramen before he turned to Manato. Arashi, this is Sasake. Sasake, this is Arashi. Sasake looked at him with narrowed eyes, but he held out his hand. Hello, my name's Arashi. I met Narut a while ago and I saw him wandering, so I brought him to get food. Sasake seemed to accept his excuse and shook his hand. Sasake Chiha. Manato narrowed his eyes in thought. He had done some exploring his old village for the past week and a half with nothing else to do and found some disturbing facts. One was the Uchiha massacre. He knew that Itachi had been forced to kill his clan by Danzo. The man had given the older Uchiha an ultimatum. Either he kill his family and Sasake would live or Danzo would kill his family and Sashake would die with the others. He still had the file he'd stolen, disgusted in the man's acts. He looked at Sasake a moment. Can you come to Naruto's apartment after this and we can talk? Sasake looked confused. Why? Nar looked at his father in surprise. You want to tell him that and more? Nar nodded and turned to Sasake. Your eyes. Sasake activated his eyes and looked at Arashi and they widened in shock. Why yada? Nar put a hand over his mouth quickly. Yeah, but we don't want people to know yet. Sasake nodded and pulled his hand away, staring at the deadforth Hokag in shock, able to see through the hinge with his eyes. He looked between them and his eyes widened further as he saw the resemblance. Narut nodded. If you come over, we<unk>ll explain. All right, I'll come over. I want answers. Nar nodded again and you'll get them. Now, here's our food. Their food was placed in front of them and Sasake looked down, hiding his eyes and deactivating them. They all ate their food quickly and then they went to Naruto's apartment. Time for some secrets to be brought to light. They reached Naruto's apartment and stepped inside, closing the door behind them and locking it before they went over to the couch and sat down. Sasake looked at Manado who dropped his hench and started in immediately. Your eyes are correct. I am Manado Namakazi, the Yandai Hokag. I am also Naruto's father, though it was kept secret from him until Kakashi told him. Cammy sent me back to the living realm after she'd seen Naruto's hardships to be a father for my son. Sasuke's eyes widened, but then he grew thoughtful. And why did you decide to tell me? Manato sighed. One was your friendship with Narut. The other is a lot more difficult and a lot to take in, but I think that you can handle it. Sasuke's eyes narrowed. What is it? Manato wordlessly unsealed the file he'd stolen. Read this and you will understand. I'm sorry if this hurts you, but I felt that you deserve to know. I beg of you not retaliate against the village. It was all Danzo Shimura to blame for this. Sasuke's eyes widened and he hesitated before he opened the file and read through it. As he went, tears rose up in his eyes and his hands started shaking as water dripped down his cheeks. This This is it all true? Manado nodded. Yes. And as I said, please don't retaliate against the village. It was Danzo Shimura and I plan to end him very soon. This Manato's hands started shaking in rage as his face became angry. His voice turned to a spit. This is disgusting and unacceptable. I knew he ran rude. I disbanded it and as soon as I was dead, he restarted it. That damn man will get what's coming to him. The yandimei yellow flash of Konaha Manato Namakazi swears that much. The file dropped to the ground and Sasake collapsed forwards crying. Narut quickly caught him in his arms and let him cry against his chest as he picked up the file. He read through it and a burning rage rose up inside of him. Tears rose up in his eyes as he realized what Sasake was going through. Damn Danzo. Damn him. He would pay for causing this much pain to his friend. He would pay. He put the file on the table with a look of disgust and wrapped his arms around Sasake completely. He hugged him tightly. God, I'm so sorry. Sash, you don't deserve this. Danzo will pay. I won't let this this crime go unpunished. Never. And I never go back on my word. Sasake laid in his arms, tears dripping down his face, and Narudo held him tightly, wanting to somehow comfort him, somehow help with his pain. Manato watched this with sadness in his eyes, and he leaned forward. I I'm truly sorry that I had to cause you pain to read this, but I felt as though you deserved to know that your brother loved you more than anyone else. He loved you so much that he killed his family and left for a life of loneliness and betrayal to help you survive. He showed you what he did because he wanted to give you a reason to live. He wanted you to chase him and kill him so that he would pay for his sins. Itachi is a good man. He's stronger than me. That much I know. Sasake was silent a moment and then he spoke in a cracked whisper. All along, all along he cared. He loved me, "Brother, why? Why did you have to go? Why are you so far away?" Nar clenched his fists and looked up at his father. He didn't know what to do. Sasake was in pain, and there was nothing that he could do for his only friend. Manato's face grew hard as he saw the distraught boys, and he picked up the folder. I am going to deal with Danzo. I think that it's about time he got what was coming to him. Nar, Sasake, I'll be back. Nar nodded, but Sasake was unresponsive, still shaking in near silent sobs in his friend's arms. Manato jumped from the window silently, not even raising a henge. It was late and he was fast. After a bit, Naro grabbed his friend and took him to his room where he sat on the bed against the wall and held Sasake in his arms tightly. After a bit, Sasake looked up. Nar. Yes. You You don't think me weak, do you? Nar grew confused. Why would you think that? I haven't cried in years, and I just cried over this. Oh, Sasuke, no, you're not weak. This was something that me, not even knowing your brother well, cried over. You both had to go through so much. You're not weak. Never weak. I'm sure Sasake was silent a minute then. Do you think that Itachi will think me weak? Do you think that your father can get him back? I hated him all of these years, never knowing the truth. And now I want him back. I want him back badly more than anything. Nar smiled reassuringly. My dad will get him back. I know you will. I will always be there, even when he does. I don't think you're weak, and neither will your brother. Don't worry about that. You're very strong. Believe in yourself, Sasake. Sasake looked back down and rested his forehead against Naruto's chest. You think so? I know so. Sasake sighed in relief. Thank you for believing in me even when I've shown weakness. It means a lot, of course, Sasake. Always, Sarobi puffed on his pipe, looking at the last of the paperwork he had to finish before bed when someone rushed in the door. Hokag sama. Danzo Shimmer has been murdered. Serbi's eyes widened. What? By who? A file suddenly flew onto his desk and a cold voice spoke. Me for high treason against Konaha and the Hokag. His head whipped around and the amboo tensed into a fighting form. Serbi spoke, "Come out now." A tall man stepped from the shadows. First, the bottom hem of a cloak with red flames on it. Then, the light rose up to reveal that the rest of the cloak was white. It finally hit the intruder's face and lit up his bright blue eyes, though now ice cold, and his bright blonde hair. He looked at Serbi. I am disappointed. Here is an I am disappointed that the village I gave my life for fell to this. The last word was spat as he pointed at the folder. Saratobi gasped. Mmanato. How? I came back for my son. My son who didn't even know who I was. I came back to life for him and I came back to to this this an innocent 13-year-old was forced to kill his entire clan, his family, and torture his little brother. He was forced to kill all of them for godamn Danzo. He was forced to abandon his little brother who he cared about more than his life. Danzo told Itachi Chiha that either he would kill the entire clan, including Sasake, or Itachi would kill the entire clan and leave only his brother alive. I am disgusted. I am disgusted at this village. I don't even know if it's worth saving anymore. You tell me. You tell me why this village was worth my life. All my son's mistreatment, all his abuse. Tell me why I should have made Nar live without his parents for a village that would do this. Serbi's mouth was opened in shock and the amboo was frozen in horror as Manato finished. Serbi wordlessly grabbed the file and read through it, his eyes widening and then narrowing. Cat, tell the council that Danzo Shimura was accused of high treason and has been proven guilty. Tell them that he was executed. The Anvu unfroze and was about to leave when Manato spoke. Don't tell them about me yet and don't mention Itachi's situation. His life will be in grave danger if word gets out that he's not a missing nin anymore. I will contact the boy myself. The Anbu nodded. Hi, Yandai sama. Then she was gone. Serbi then looked at Manado to see him pinching his nose and taking deep breaths to calm himself before he sat down in the chair across from the third Hokag and spoke in a cold voice, though now more controlled. Why here is in Seru Toby did this happen? Why did this village go down so low? Why was my son treated like a monster? And most importantly, why did you not investigate the Uchiah incident further? A clan genius does not kill his entire family for power, as he put it. Answer my questions truthfully, and I might not horribly mutilate you when you're done. Serbi pald. You would have better luck escaping the Shinagami than Minato Namakazi's wrath, and he knew it. He'd seen it. He gulped and then sat forward. Nar was because you have many enemies. He was going to find out when he became at least tunin level so that he could defend himself. I tried my hardest to help him. I told the village he was a hero, but they did not listen. So, I passed a law not to mention the Kaobi in the village unless in history lessons. Manato's eyes narrowed. I see. While I understand your reasoning, I do not approve. My son has been through hell and back because you did not tell them who he was. Continue. Itachi. Serbi sighed. I'm afraid that Danzo fooled me in that account. I knew only that Itachi killed his entire clan and said that it was to test his limits. I knew of the rebellion they were planning, but Danzo<unk>'s words overpowered my gut feeling, so I did not investigate further. I see. That is disappointing. I want Itachi pardoned, but I don't want it announced yet. I will go to him myself and tell him. If word gets out that he was framed or coerced into doing it, his life will be in grave danger. Are you sure that's a good idea, Bonado? Yes, I want this writed. Sasake is at Naruto's house in pieces after hearing the truth about Itachi. He needs his brother. I will most likely leave tomorrow. According to Danzo<unk>'s files, Itachi is in rain at the Akatsuki headquarters. I will go there and get him. Serbi sighed. All right, if you insist, Manato. He suddenly gained a small smile. But you have to help me with the paperwork that comes with this. Manado smirked, the dark mood gone. Want to hear the secret to paperwork? Serby's eye lit up. What is it? Manato chuckled. Shadow clones. Serby's eyes went wide and that he wordlessly pulled out a small square of wood that had a chibi Tobarama on it. The Tobarama was holding up a target and little words in the corner said to use in cases of extreme stupidity. Serobi then started slamming his head into the target. Stupid stupid stupid stupid. Manato chuckled and stopped him. You're going to get a concussion. Well, have fun with that. Serbi nodded and Manato was gone. Narut looked at him. Are you really going? You just got here. Manato sighed. I know I did. I know, but I'm going to get Itachi back for your friend. I'll leave a shadow clone with you. How about that? It's not as good as the real me, but I'm the only one that can do this safely. Nar sighed and looked at the sleeping Sasake on his couch before he turned back. All right, it's fine. Sasake deserves someone to love him, too. Don't worry about the clone. I don't want you to waste your chakra. I'll see you when you get back, Dad. You better be back in one piece. Manato smiled and cast a henge. All right, I'll sure try. Sunshine, goodbye. Be good for Kakashi. Nar smiled as well. I'll certainly try. Manato nodded and then he was gone out the window. Nar immediately missed him, but he knew that Sasuke deserved a loving person, too. He sighed and went to take a shower, glad that his dad had fixed the water problem. Manato arrived at the edge of rain and looked to see a large tower in the distance. Now he just needed to find out about Itachi's location and find him. Hopefully he wasn't too far away or it would be difficult. He crept through the foliage quietly, hiding from all eyes until he arrived in a small clearing. He jumped into a tree and sat down, crossing his legs and closing his eyes before he spread his senses out. He was a very good chakra sensor, though he hadn't told anyone and had read sake quite well. Now he was looking for something similar. He finally found it along with one that sensed of water and large chakra stores and he hopped down and went that direction. He arrived to see two figures leaning against a tree. One was a fish-like man and he was sleeping and the other was watching around him wearily with black eyes. Manado could tell that he was an uchiha by his looks and his chakra. He thought a moment and then slipped behind a tree and did a henge. He needed to pull Itachi away from the other man. He crept out purposefully raising his chakra to levels that someone could sense, though just barely so to stop Itachi from studying his chakra and realizing right away that it was a strong opponent. He slipped out and went through the tall grass and he saw Itachi's head whip his direction as a kana left his sleeve and fell into his hand. The uchiha stood and came towards him and he quickly ran away, hiding his looks for now. Itachi followed him until they were out of the fish-like man's range of view and he stopped behind a tree. He heard footsteps and then they stopped behind the tree and he pulled out a scroll from his pocket. He tossed it around the tree and heard a gasp and someone jumped back. But when the scroll didn't blow up or anything of the sort, he heard it get grabbed and unrolled. He heard another gasp and he stayed silent before a deep male voice spoke. What is this? What is the meaning of this? Who are you and why have you come? He spoke, still staying out of firing range. I came to deliver that to you, Itachi Chiha. Only I had the skill to do so, and I felt it my job. Sasake wants you back. He was broken up at my son's house when I left to find you. He's very upset. Itachi's tone became suspicious. And how did he find out the truth? I told it to him, and then I went and murdered Danzo for causing you and Sasuke so much pain. Danzo never told the Hokag of his plans. He simply went through with them and forced you, an innocent 13-year-old at the time, to kill your family. It disgusted me. So, I went and buried a cannide through his cold heart. Then, I ripped the fake arm he had made that was filled with stolen sharing gin off. I sealed it away and left it for her. Serbi pardoned you as that scroll says, "But it's not common knowledge because I didn't want you to get killed." Itachi was silent a moment. I want to see your face. So you can use your sharing to prove that I'm not lying. Yes. Manado sighed and then stepped out from behind the tree to see Itachi standing there with the scroll in his hand. The uchiha<unk>s eyes widened when he saw him. Yandai sama. Yes, I was brought back to life for my son Nar. Nar is Sasake's friend and therefore I feel responsible for the boy. I want to see him happy once more which is why I came. Itachi's eyes widened further as his sharing revealed that this was the truth. And then he looked at the scroll again. Then this is real. I'm a Konahan again. Yes, you are a Konahan again, but only if you wish to be. So, I can tell you that Sasake wants you very much. And I can also say that I have a way that we can very convincingly fake your death so that you're not chased and Sasuke is not put in danger on our way back. Itachi looked at him with a newfound hope. You can help me see my brother again? Yes, Itachi. I swear that I will help you see your brother again. Itachi looked down at the scroll and then rolled it up and slipped it away and looked up. All right, let's do this. I want to see Sasake again. Manato smiled and nodded before he made a rapid succession of hand seals. A blood clone of Itachi appeared next to them, looking around, and Manato spoke. This is a real blood clone, a real body. It's your blood clone. We will destroy this and because of this certain jutsu, it won't disappear. Itachi nodded and then slipped off his Akatsuki cloak and put it on the clone. He slipped the ring off of his finger and then his slashed Konaha headband and they both went on the clone. Satisfied, he stepped away. Now what, Yandai sama? Please call me Manato. Now what? Manato sama. Manato groaned and then pulled out his canai. killing blows on the clone and we will send it back to your teammate on death's door where you will tell your friend that it was Orochimaru and then die. Itachi nodded and drew his own kana falling into a fighting stance. We need to destroy its eyes somehow so that leader sama cannot take the body for the sharing. Orochimaru has been aiming for my eyes since I left Konaha. So removing them would be the best option. Manato nodded. All right, let's do this. Kissame woke up to staggering footsteps and he whipped his head around to find Itachi. Sure, that kid freaked him out a bit, killing his entire family and all, but he didn't want him dead nonetheless. He didn't see him and then footsteps got closer. He stood eyeing the bushes near the footsteps he was hearing. His eyes widened in shock when the identity was revealed. Itachi had his clothes in tatters and blood pouring from multiple wounds spanning across his body. His eyes were closed and blood poured from underneath the eyelids, going down his face and streams. Kisame gasped and Itachi came closer before falling to his knees and speaking in a faint and slightly gargled voice. Ki saw me. Kisame rushed forwards and caught him as he collapsed forwards. Itachi, what happened? O R O Kai Ma Ru stole. M I eyes I I ma nagged T2 C crush th them B but he was T2 strong Itachi hold on leader can heal you and no too late Kisame stood quickly picking Itachi up with him as he went and started rushing back to rain tower. He felt Itachi shudder in his arms and then fall limp. He looked down to see his head all limply and his hand dangle from his arms, letting the small picture his teammate always carried of his little brother fall to the ground. He sami's eyes closed as Itachi's chakra disappeared completely. And then he picked up the picture of the little boy and tucked it into Itachi's cloak before continuing his journey with the body in his hands. He arrived and went upstairs where he knocked on Leader's door. "Come in," he stepped in and the orange-haired man looked up in curiosity. His eyes widened as he came across the dead body and he shot up. What happened to him? He told me I could take a nap and he would keep watch while we waited for the client. So I fell asleep. I woke up to hear staggering footsteps and I jumped to the ready but then he thought he came from the bushes looking like this. He said that Orochimaru attacked him and stole his eyes. He managed to crush the eyes so that Orochimaru couldn't use them but he was fatally injured. He died on the way here. Leader's face grew angry. I see. Orochimaru will pay dearly for killing one of our own. That much I will make certain. Since Itachi's eyes are gone, I can't make him into a body. So, we will bury him tomorrow. Leave me. Kiss nodded and left. Meanwhile, Itachi and Manato jumped through the forest towards Konaha. Manato had given Itachi his Arashi look to Henenta so that they wouldn't get attacked. Konaha was two days travel from here so they would get there shortly. The Uchiha was nervous. He had to admit he was worried that Sasake would hate him. He was worried that he would only be seen as a threat that had to be eliminated. But his main concern was his brother. He'd been alone for so long because of him been through so much pain. Would Sasake be able to forgive him? They finally arrived at the village and Manato stopped at the gates. The guards eyes widened in shock as he saw Manato and the Yandimei gave a small amused smile. Well, hello Katetsu. Never thought you'd see me again. I see. How are you? Why? Yandai sama? How? I came back to life for my son. Your son? Yandi sama? Narutzu Maki Namakazi is my son. Katetsu<unk>s eyes widened in shock yet again. I I see. You may enter, Yandai sama. Thank you, Katsu. They stepped inside and then jumped onto the rooftops, heading towards the Hokag tower. They jumped inside and Manato spoke. I have returned, Serbi. Serbi looked up and his eyes caught on the hangachi who was looking around wearily. He waved his hand. Anbu you may go. This is the real Yandami. I've already confirmed it. The hidden Anu left and Itachi relaxed a small amount before he bowed with his hand over his heart in a fist. Hokag sama, you can stand, Itachi. There's no need to bow. Please rise. Itachi rose up and moved his hand. and Minato put a hand on his shoulder. We don't want formalities, Itachi. I just wanted to let Saru Toby know that we got you back. I must say he was quite upset when he learned of the truth behind the massacre. Danzo has been publicly announced executed for his crimes, though no one knows what the crimes were except a few, and they won't share it." Itachi nodded and relaxed even more, sighing in relief. "Thank you for giving me this chance to make it up to my brother." Manato smiled. No need to thank us, Itachi. We couldn't let an innocent man be hunted for something he had no choice about. Now Nar and Sasake are probably at Naruto's apartment, but Serbi, if you please. The third nodded and waved his hand. A picture appeared in his crystal ball of the two boys. Manato indeed recognized the background as Naruto's apartment, and he nodded his head. Thank you. If there is nothing else, I think it's about time Sasake sees his brother again. Then they were gone, they jumped towards Naruto's apartment. And when they got there, Manato knocked. I'm back, Nar. Dad. The door opened to reveal Nar and the younger blonde smiled and wrapped his father in a giant hug. I missed you, Dad. Manato chuckled. Well, now I'm here and I brought a guest. Is Sasake here? Naruto's eyes lit up and he looked at Itachi and waved. Hi, I'm Narut. Itachi nodded. And I am Itachi. Come on, Sasake's inside. They stepped inside and followed Nar to the living room where a chessboard was sitting. Sasake looked up and his eyes immediately transferred over to his hanged brother. His eyes turned red and swirled with three tomos and then he gasped and was up in seconds. He crashed into his brother's chest and hugged him tightly and Itachi stumbled before he looked down to see Sasake crying into his chest. H's expression immediately softened and he wrapped his arms around the crying boy. Nar and Manato saw this and smiled before they left to get dinner, leaving the two Uchihas alone. Itachi sat down on the couch, keeping his brother tight and rubbing his back. And Sasake just cried into his chest, clutching him tightly. Nan, you're back. You're really back. Itachi smiled. Yes, Oto, I'm back. I'm sorry for ever leaving. I won't do it again. Not to you. Sasake sniffled and looked up at him with hopeful eyes. Really? Yes, really. Sasake smiled and laid his head on Itachi's chest, just listening and smiling happily. After a bit, Itachi spoke. So, when did you awaken the shering? He blinked in surprise and then smiled again and spoke a while back. Naruto's been helping me control it by training with me. Itachi thought a moment and then nodded. I'm glad. Sasake looked up. Want to see something cool? Oh, what? Sashik smirked and his eyes swirled faster before they blended together to reveal his mangyu. Itachi's eyes widened in shock. H how? When? A few months ago, right after I became a jennon, Narut was attacked and killed. He died in front of me. An angry mob pitchforked him and then slashed his throat. I blamed myself because I hadn't been quick enough to stop the blade and then my eyes started hurting. I'm glad that Nar managed to find a way to come back. He's my only real friend here in the village. Do you know how he managed to come back now? A new voice spoke. Yeah, I'm a reincarnated soul. You've probably heard of Indra Oatsuki. Itachi. Itachi whipped his head around to see Nar in the window with his father next to him. H. How did you manage to sneak up on me? My dad's the hokage and I'm just good like that. Wait, you said Indra Odetssuki. He's the first sharing wielder ever. Nar smirked and hopped down. I know he is. I mean I am. His eyes swirled into his own mangaku and Adachi's eyes widened even further. You mean that you have the mangaku as well? Yeah. And I was training Sasake how to use his. I already warned him about the blindness and he only uses his mangeku in dire situations. Itachi looked at Narut in shock. You're Indra Odetssuki. Yes indeed I am. That's wow. Amazing. Does that mean that you can use all the powers of the mangaku? Of course, all of them. And I won't go blind because of it. Now, Dad and I brought you back some food. So, here. He threw a bag of food and Itachi, and he caught in, opening it to reveal Pocky and tomatoes. He chuckled and handed Sasake the tomatoes, which were devoured like a rampid beast, before he started on his Pocky. Nar chuckled at their respective reactions and then smiled brightly. Guess what? Dad says that Namakazi cottage is repaired thanks to old man Hokag and we can go live there. There's four bedrooms so everyone will get their own room. Will you guys come stay with us? Sasake looked at Itachi and then back at Narut and smiled. Yeah, sure, Nar. Naruto's smile grew. Yay. Did you hear that, Dad? They want to come stay with us. Manato chuckled. Yes, I heard. the next day found the group at Namakazi cottage with all their stuff. Sasake and Itachi had gone back to the Uchiah compound together to get their stuff. Itachi's room had been left untouched since the massacre. Nar and Manato had packed Naruto's stuff up and got to the cottage early to change the blood wards a bit to allow the Uchihas in. Nar and Manado had rooms right next to each other. Sasake and Itachi were down the hall a bit and right next to each other as well. Once everything was unpacked, Narut smiled happily and then frowned. Oh, darn. Training with Kakashi sensei today. He looked up at the clock. Oh, it's only 8:30. He said to meet him at 6:00, so he should be just on time. Manato's eyebrow rose. Is your math a little bit off, kiddo? No. Kakashi sensei is always 3 hours late. Manato's eyes widened. Kakashi, as in Kakashi Hitaki, always late. Yeah, he's never on time. Manato gained a thoughtful look. I think I know where he's at. You and Sasuke, finish up here and I'll go find him. You guys can come around 9:00. I'll probably be with him still. Nar nodded with a smile. All right, Dad. We<unk>ll be there. Manato nodded and then he was gone. Manato arrived at the memorial stone silently and indeed there was Kakashi. The silver-haired man was kneeling in front of the stone with his fingers on a name. Manato crept closer, suppressing his chakra. He was right behind the junin, and Kakashi still had no idea that he was there. He looked down to see Kakashi's fingers on his own name, and a fond smile made its way across his face. It seemed training Narut was getting to him. He frowned then. He didn't want Kakashi sad if he was alive. He allowed his chakra to leak out and placed his hand on Kakashi's shoulder, squeezing gently. Kakashi froze and then his head slowly turned at the familiar chakra until he was looking at Manado out of the corner of his eye. Manado smiled gently. "Hello, Kakashi." Kakashi's breath caught as sensei. Manato crouched behind him and reached forward, brushing his fingers over his own name. Yes, it's me. Imagine my surprise when my son said that you were always late. What happened to Punctual? Kakashi's jaw dropped and then he blushed. Obido. Obido was always late. Manato smiled and pulled his hand back. I see. Kakashi turned all the way around. H, how are you alive, sensei? Nar. Cammy brought me back for Nar. She brought me all the way back. Not just a ghost. I'm really here. Kakashi's eye lit up. You, you're real. As real as you? Kakashi seemed hesitant about something and Minato chuckled before he wrapped his arms around the silver-haired Junan and hugged him tightly. He felt Kakashi stiffen and then melt into it with a small sigh. After a minute, he pulled away and stood back up, holding out his hand. "Now, since you're already 3 hours late, we should get to your Jennon." Kakashi blushed in embarrassment again and grabbed the hand, allowing Minato to pull him up. "Yeah, to my Jenn." Nar propped his feet up with a sigh. Kakashi still wasn't here, and he was bored. Sakura, who had gotten over her small spurt of actually caring for once, was clinging to an iate Sasake. Though the Uchiah was a bit less broody because of his brother's return. Kakashi finally arrived with a smiling blonde in two and Narudo jumped up. Dad. Kakashi sensei. Finally, Sasuke looked up and grumbled. About time, why are you always late? Sakura stood up. You're late. And what idiot did you bring with you? Manato was about to speak when Narut walked right in front of Sakura and slapped her. Gain some sense, foolish girl. That's the fourth Hokag. Look before you speak. Sakura looked at him in shock and he scoffed before turning away. She tackled him to the ground and started punching him and he quickly kicked her away and jumped up, pulling out his staff and spinning it. A glowing orb started to form and his eyes narrowed in anger. Training today is dodging, [ __ ] Manato snorted and Kakashi hit a smirk as she dodged the orb of chakra. Another started forming quickly. This would be an interesting training session. When they were done training, aka beating the sense into Sakura. Kakashi pulled them to the side. Now the tunein exams are in a week and I planned on entering you. Here's the forms. Bring them to room 301 at the academy in exactly a week at noon. You have off until then. They nodded and took the papers. and Minato smiled, sitting down and leaning back against a tree as Sakura and Kakashi left. Nar and Sasake walked up to him and a form dropped from the trees next to them. Manato leaned forward though he stayed sitting. I assume you're planning on joining the Tunin exams. Nar smiled. You bet we are right, Sasake. Yeah, I plan on it. Manato smiled. Good. Then if you are, Itachi and I have a proposal. Since we aren't known to be here yet, we will train you in secret. Itachi trains Sasake and I train Narut. I want to teach my son the Hirishin and Itachi wants to spend time training with his brother. What do you say? Both boys nodded gleefully and Manato chuckled. All right then. There's three secret training grounds around the cottage. We will each get one. And if Sakura decides to train, which I doubt, she can have the third with Kakashi. Nar and Sasuke<unk>'s faces lit up in joy, and Nared his fist in the air. Hey, he was still technically 12. Yeah. Nar tried again and then collapsed to the ground, panting. I used to be the fastest man alive. It has now been stolen from me. Manato chuckled. Well, once you master the hiishin, you'll get your title back. Nar groaned and stood, ready to try again until he could do more than three in succession. This would be a long week. Sasake yelped and dodged a fireball. Are you trying to catch me on fire, Nissan? You're too slow. You can follow my moves with the sharing, but you cannot counter them until you are faster. Now dodge, and another fireball hurled at him. He jumped aside, singing his arm hairs, and then growled. He would become faster. Sakura brushed her hair, humming to herself and thinking of ways to seduce her. Sasuke [ __ ] She was pissed at Nar for making her dodge all day a few days ago. Then there was that blonde that was pretending to be the fourth and Naruto's father. She had to admit they looked similar, but there was no way Nar was the son of the fourth. She stood up and wandered into her mom's room. The older woman looked at her. Hello, Sakura. What do you need? Is Nar the son of the fourth Hokag? Her mother froze. What? Where did you hear that? A man showed up at training that said he was the fourth Hokag. He said he'd been brought back for his son, Nar. Nar can't be his son, right? He's just a loser. Meabbuki slowly turned with wide eyes. Manato sama is back. You know him? I had a crush on him when we were younger. His wife was on my team. He's back. I think it's a fake. There's no way. What does he look like? Blonde hair that's messy with two long spiky bangs in the front. blue narrow eyes the same color as Naruto's tan skin about 6' tall lean frame leaf hit a ate in a strange white and red cloak with kanji on the back for yellow flashuki's eyes widened and her voice became suspicious and what did you say to him or call him well he was late with Kakashi sensei that means he's an idiot and if he is Naruto's father which I doubt then he's a loser too did you tell him that yes slammed her forehead her head on her desk. You did? You called him an idiot and a loser? Yes, you're a fool. He is Naruto's father, and he is the fourth Hokag. It's not wellnown, but Naruto's real name is Namakazi, not Uzumaki. Sakura's eyes widened, and she pald. What? You called Lord forth a loser and an idiot. Sakura started hyperventilating. B, but I didn't mean to. I won't get like executed, right? Her mom sat up and waved her hands. No, Manato sama is kind. He won't do anything to you. You looked a bit beer bedraggled the other day, though. What happened? Um, it was the day I called Lord forth those names. Nar was mad and he made training into dodging. Dodging? Yeah, he wouldn't stop throwing chakra balls at me all day except for lunch. Meabbuki chuckled. Manato sama probably thought that a fit punishment and didn't interfere. He didn't stop him. Yep, sounds like him. Did they say where they were staying? No, just that Sasuke was staying with them. Did they say what they were doing? Training for the TuneIn exams that were entering in 4 days. They're training for the Tunin exams and you're not. Um, well, no. Meuki scowlled and then got an evil grin. I'll just have to train you then. I used to be a Kunoichi. I know some stuff and since you missed out on 3 days already, we'll have to be a bit rough. Sakura pald. She'd really screwed herself over. Kakashi was bored. He didn't realize how much time he spent training his jennon. Without them training, he had nothing to do but read his poor uh adventure books. Where were the boys? He'd seen Sakura training with her mom in the village training ground. Wasn't that a surprise? But the boys, he hadn't seen them since he announced the tunin exams. He was tempted to go to Namakazi cottage, but if they were there, they were busy or wanted to be left alone. He sighed and pulled out a new book. Soon, perverted giggling was heard echoing through his house. Nar sped around the training grounds as a yellow flash and laughed in exhilaration. He'd finally mastered the hirishin. He was finally on par with his father's speed again, and now he was even faster than the sharing could follow. It was amazing. Manato watched his son celebrate with a small, proud smile. His son was truly a genius to have learned the hiishin so quickly. It usually took longer. Now he could move on to the reengon. They only had two days left, so Narut might not learn the risen, but they could start. But for tonight, they could rest, celebrate, and have ramen. While Nar was ricocheting off the trees, Manato went to where Itachi and Sasake were, only to dodge a huge fireball with a yelp, "Oi, it's just me, Itachi. No one else can get in the grounds." The fireball cut off to reveal Itachi with a sheepish expression. Oops. Manato sama I told you just Manato. How's Sasake doing? Well, very well. We've been doing speed training and how to cast genjutsu's easier. His sharing had a low capability for Sukiomi as Narut said, so he focused on making that stronger. If you only have to look at an opponent to win, there is much less chance of dying. Yes, Nar finished the hiishin tonight and I wanted to celebrate with ramen. You know how he likes his ramen. I came to see if you two wanted to come. I'm paying. Itachi thought a moment and then nodded. We<unk>ll be down to the house in about 10 minutes to change and raise a hench. Is that satisfactory? Manato chuckled. Yes, that's fine. You don't have to speak so formally. I look at both of you like sons, just as much as Nar. Itachi's eyes widened. You do? Yes. Itachi was silent a moment and then he spoke in a quiet voice. Thank you. No problem, Itachi. 10 minutes. Yes, good. Team 7 walked up the stairs to the academy third floor with their papers in hand. Nar and Sasake were confident and hiding happy smiles. Sakura was excited, too, but she was also slightly fearful of Nar for some reason. Their outfits had changed to impress. Nar was wearing a replica of his father's outfit, except that his cloak didn't say yellow flash yet. He didn't want to boast too much. He would be announcing his heritage, however. He'd already had the Hokag change it on all the records so that his last name was Namakazi instead of Uzuaki. He also had a second kana pouch, this one with Hiishin Kana in it instead of regular ones. Sasake was wearing a high collared black and silver shirt with the Uchiah crest on the back. His pants were now long and was style black pants that tucked into shin bracers that looked like bandages that then tucked into his ninja sandals. He wore his wrist bracers underneath the half sleeves he'd kept as part of the outfit. He was also noticeably lighter since he's regained his brother. Sakura was wearing a long purple dress-like shirt that was split at the waist to allow movement. Underneath it was a mesh sleeveless shirt. Her bottoms were tight black shorts meant for action that only went about a third of the way to her knees. Her hair had been cut short and her hide aid rested on top of her head behind her bangs. They reached the second floor to see room 301. But they had only gone up two floors. So they knew it was Jenjutsu and continued to the third floor, deafly avoiding the attention of a kid with a black bull cud and was wearing a horrid green jumpsuit. He seemed to be looking for Sakura. So they crept up the stairs and reached the real room 301 to find Kakashi standing there. He lifted his hand and waved it. Yo, Sakura seemed confused. Why are you here, Kakashi sensei? You had to come as a team or not at all. This is a team exam. Sakura nodded in understanding and the two boys looked at her with raised eyebrows. She'd sure calmed down. What had happened to her in the last week? They pushed it to the side and handed Kakashi their entrance forms and he waved them in. Good luck. They stepped inside and were met with killing intent aimed at them. Naruto's eyebrow cocked and he released some of his own red Indra<unk>'s killing intent through the room. Immense pressure filled the room and many pald at it before he pulled it back without a word. A silver-haired teen came up to them. You know you shouldn't draw attention to yourself. I being a seventh year veteran know this. Nar scoffed. Seventh year. Seriously? He leaned close to the man and spoke in a low whisper. You feel of snakes. I can also sense your chakra at high junin levels. You're no tunin. I would bet. Orochimaru. The man gasped quietly and Narut gave a dark chuckle. Don't worry. I won't tell. I also won't tell that the grass nen over there is the man himself. What an interesting fight. Remember my name, Indra Osuki, also known as Narut Namakazi. Watch yourself, spy. He pulled away and the man looked at him wearily before clearing his throat and schooling his face to be impassive once more. He continued his act. Yes, I see. So, I know information on everyone here. Would you like any information? Sasake stepped forward. Yeah, him. He pointed at Nar. They planned this out. This would reveal Naruto's heritage. The Nin nodded. I am Kabuto. Let's see. Nar. Nar. Ah, here you are. He pulled out a card and it glowed red for a minute before words formed. Kabuto read them through and then spoke in a clear voice. Naruto Namakazi, a Jennon of the Leaf, though his skill is leveled above Jennine in rumors. Son of Manato Namakazi aka the Yellow Flash aka the fourth Hokag. Teachers Kakashi Hitaki and Manado Namakazi. Teammates Sakura Haruno and Sasake Uchiha aka the last Uchiha. Has completed 50 D ranks, one C rank, and one A rank. has fought Zabuza Mammochi, one of the seven swordsmen of the mist, and then managed to get Zabuza Mimochi to join Konahagakir Nosado as a completely loyal Shinobi Junan level. You could hear a pin drop in the absolute silence that pervaded the room and then shouts of anger from the Ewa teams who all despised Minato for destroying their army by himself all those years ago in the third ninja war. Nar turned to them and killer intent came off of him in intense waves. Is there a problem with my father, gentlemen? I'd love to show you that I am just as capable of beating your ass as he is. They were trembling under his killing intent, so he pulled it back just as a poof of smoke was heard at the front of the room. Then, all right, sit down, maggots. Let's get started. They jumped through the forest of death at top speed. Nar sensing for new chakra signatures. They had been in here for 2 days already and already had both scrolls and in Naruto's case the blood of several Ewan on his clothes, but they were looking to see if anyone from Konaha needed help. Orochimaru was in these woods after all. Nar suddenly sensed a snake- like chakra, and he immediately grabbed his teammates and held them anchored to the branch as a huge gust of wind slammed into them. It finally stopped and Nar immediately activated his eyes to Mangeku mode. darting around. He suddenly grabbed Sasake and Sakura and jumped into the branch above them, narrowly avoiding a giant snake. He turned to his teammates. I'm the only one who stands a chance against him. No offense meant. So, I need you guys to go to the tower. You can't go in without me, but there should be Anu guarding it. Tell them that Orochimaru is here and your teammate was trying to hold him off when you ran to get help. Sasake seemed hesitant. Are you sure? He's after your sharing, Sasake. Go both of you. They both looked at him once more before speeding off to look for help. He turned and jumped above another snake before he jumped down and stopped Orochimaru from chasing after Sasake. He pulled out his katana and narrowed his eyes. "You want to fight the shering so badly, Orochimaru? Then fight me. I won't let you have Sasake as a meatsuit, you disgusting filth." Orochimaru appeared in front of him on a snake and ripped off his grass nin face with a wide smile. If I were to get your eyes, Indra oetssuki, nothing could stop me. You're mine. You wish. The battle had begun. Sasake and Sakura reached the tower and immediately hunted down an ambu. Bear turned and Sasake spoke. It's<unk>s Orochimaru. Orochimaru's in the forest. Narut was trying to hold him off when we left. Bear immediately tensed. Stay here. I'll get the hokag. They nodded and Bear sped off, leaving them perched high in a tree. Sasake looked towards where he sensed his friend's powerful chakra. Narut, be safe. Helps coming. Bear, also known as Hiashi Hayuga, rushed into the tower and immediately went up to the hoage's level, knocking on the door rapidly. It's an emergency, sir. Orochimaru has been spotted in the forest. He's fighting a jennon right now, so he'll be coming soon. The door whipped open to reveal the Hokag there with wide eyes. Orochimaru. You're sure? Yes. Hokage sama. He was spotted by two jennon, Sasuke Uiha and Sakura Haruno, who said that Narut had stayed behind to try and hold off Orochimaru. Nar. Yes, sir. The Hokag turned inwards. Elite Anbu hunt down and retain Orochimaru of the sonning. Yes, Hokag sama right away. And they were gone. Serbi looked into the distance where he could now sense Naruto's chakra. Hold in there, Narut. We're<unk> coming. There was suddenly a yellow flash behind him and he spun to see Manato there with a hiishinian canai. Manato looked at him. I'm going to my son. Go, Manato. Be safe. I will. And then another yellow flash and he was gone as well. Nar cursed as Orochimaru managed to get a thin gash across his stomach. Since he didn't have all of his former prowess back yet, he couldn't just kick the traitorous snake into next week, though he wished he could. As it was, he only had the thin gash in his stomach from Orochimaru's sword, and Orochimaru looked worse for wear. But he knew it was far from over. Manato arrived where his sons Hiroshin Kana were, and he looked up just in time to see a body slam into the dirt in front of him. He looked down to see Orochimaru, and he jumped back as the sonin struggled to stand. Orochimaru sensed him and spun, his eyes widening in shock and then narrowing in anger. No wonder I haven't been able to resurrect you. You're always a thorn in my side, Namakazi. There was a blur and then a person in front of them, panting heavily and holding his stomach with one hand and a katana with the other. He glared at the sonning. Your blade was poisoned. No matter. I'm going to finish you off, you stinking traitor. Orochimaru looked between the two of them who were both falling into fighting stances and then he cursed and sunk into the ground disappearing. Nar punched the ground. Damn it, he got away. Manato slipped away his canai and walked over to his son who was looking pale. Are you all right? You said you'd been poisoned. I have. It hurts like a [ __ ] Caillou's healing it right now, though. I'll be back in tip-top shape in 2 days. What about now? Nar frowned and slipped his katana away, covering his stomach. He suddenly lost all of his previous anger and sagged, gasping as he finally let his pain get to him. I I think that I'm going to sleep now. Manato's eyes widened and he jumped forward just as Naruto's legs gave out beneath him and he collapsed. He caught his son in his arms and tuned himself into the boy's hirin kite teleporting to the seal on Sasuke's back. He appeared there and Sasake spun with a canai only to gasp as he saw the barely conscious blonde in Manato's arms. Manato looked at his son worriedly and then handed him to Sasake. Pass this part of the exams and I'll visit him as soon as he's in the medical wing. Sasake nodded and they jumped down, leaving the blonde man behind to worry over his son. >> That's all for now.
