Iruka, Naruto and Hinata walked peacefully to Ichiraku's Ramen Stand, a thank you from Iruka for Naruto and Hinata saving his life. Iruka got injured by the shuriken rain but Hinata did a wonderful job healing them. Naruto, Iruka and Hinata sat down at the ramen stand.
"OI, Old Man, come here I'm hungry" – Naruto yelled.
"Oh, Naruto glad to see you and Hinata" – Teuchi said and both nodded.
"OK, since Iruka-sensei is paying you can start with 10 bowls of pork ramen for me" – Naruto said and Iruka widened his eyes thinking if it was a good idea offering him dinner.
"I'll take 2 bowls of vegetable ramen" – Hinata said.
"I'll take one bowl of shrimp ramen. Say Hinata?" – Iruka said getting her attention "Were you faking with Naruto since the beginning?" – Iruka asked.
"Of course, you actually don't know but we are boyfriend and girlfriend" – she said giving Naruto a kiss on the cheek making the blonde blush.
"Who would've thought? DAMN, you are some good actors" – Iruka said getting chuckles from both of them. "Why did you hide your strength even your relationship?" – Iruka asked.
"You know that I'm the kyuubi jinchuuriki right?" – Naruto asked and Iruka nodded "And pretty much all the villagers and almost all of the shinobi hate me for carrying him. To them I'm a painful reminder on that night. You know that they tried to hurt or kill me many times. If the civilian council knew how strong I was they would do everything they could to stop that the 'demon' from getting strong." – He said
"The reason I decided to hide our relationship was pretty much the same reason. They would try and hurt her as well. I've already heard some calling her 'demon whore', and I'll be damned if I would let anyone hurt her, I would faster burn this village to the ground than allow anyone to place their hands on her. So we decided to stay in the shadows until we were strong enough to protect ourselves" – he concluded.
Iruka was surprise how the number 1 knucklehead thought of everything. He would never in a million of years think the Naruto was so clever and insightful.
"You certainly fooled me" – Iruka said and everyone laughed. They started eating calmly. "And you Hinata, I get the feeling that you are not the shy girl" – he said pointing to her. She giggled and answered.
"I was shy when I first met Naruto but over the years I grew out of it thanks to him. Also who did you think helped him in his pranks" – she said laughing and Iruka jaw dropped. "Actually I kinda liked acting shy and letting everyone else brag about how good they are".
"How strong are you really?" – Iruka asked in a serious tone.
"Well we've never matched against anyone other than ourselves but the furball says we are around jonin in terms of Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, I suck at genjutsu so around low chunnin in that. Other than that I'm level 10 seal master." – Naruto explained and of course Iruka didn't even know what to say, poor guy.
"Wait, if you are jonin level how the hell can't you do a single bushin" – Iruka asked and Naruto chuckled.
"Well, you see one side effect of having a bijuu sealed in you when you are young is that you tend to develop large chakra reserves. I estimate I have about 4 times more chakra than jiji so ,even though I have jonin level chakra control, I still have too much chakra to perform a single bushin." – Naruto explained.
Iruka didn't know what to think or do. The academy dead last was jonin level, had 4 times to hokage chakra reserve and was a seal master, besides all that he had a matured sharingan. Iruka did what he could do and fainted.
"Oioi wake up sensei, you still got to pay up" – Naruto yelled trying to wake the fainted Iruka.
## Council Room ##
The hokage was approaching a room. Standing near its double doors was an Anbu guarding it. The Anbu bowed to the hokage and opened the doors. The hokage entered the room and to his left were seated the clan heads of Konoha also knows as the shinobi council and to his left were a few important civilians known as the civilian council.
Near the shinobi council were also seated 3 people. They were Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu and Shimura Danzo. They were formers teammates to the hokage in his gennin days and are currently his advisers or elders.
The hokage made his way through the room and sat in a small table in front of the Konoha council.
"Good evening to everyone. Now, may I know the reason why the council has been summoned?" – the hokage asked in a bored tone. After dealing with all the paperwork he still has to put up with the damn council.
"Yes Hokage-sama" – said one merchant of the civilian council as he stood up "We heard that the dem… Uzumaki Naruto graduated from the academy. You cannot allow him to become a shinobi, he's too dangerous"- he said.
The hokage sighed he knew that this day would come. "Naruto is not dangerous, he's already proven to be a loyal shinobi but also graduated as rookie of the year along with Hinata" – the hokage said and Hiashi raised an eyebrow hearing Hinata was kunoichi of year. "This year's batch must be weak, to think that she was the best" – Hiashi thought.
"He's clearly a demon, he stole the rookie of the year title from the Uchiha-sama"– a pink banshee yelled making everyone shiver from her freakish high pitched voice.
"You should choose your words carefully CIVLIAN" – the hokage said raising his KI making her sweat "My law is still in effect".
"But hokage-sama you cannot allow him near the clan heirs, he could hurt them all" – a fat merchant said while the shinobi side rolled their eyes.
"ENOUGH" – the hokage said in a serious tone "Many of you civilians may not know but Naruto has already saved his village today" – he said getting confused looks from everyone. "As you don't know, today one of the academy teachers Mizuki, broke into the hokage's vault and stole the scroll of seals. He was intercepted by Umino Iruka and they engaged in combat. If Naruto and Hinata didn't show up Iruka would be dead and the village without the scroll. Hinata managed to heal Iruka and Naruto defeated a chunnin." – the hokage concluded and everyone gasped. A fresh rookie from the academy defeating a chunnin is almost unheard of.
"You see hokage-sama he's already becoming too powerful, we must kill him now and finish what the yondaime started" – the fat merchant said trying to reason with the hokage and put an end to the demon.
"You keep forgetting that this is a shinobi village and I, THE HOKAGE, am in command of my forces, my word is law, remember well. This meeting is adjourned" – the hokage said rubbing his temples. "I'm getting too old for this shit" – he thought as he watched everyone leave the room.
## Later that Night ##
Later that night everyone in the village was sleeping peacefully including our favorite pair Naruto and Hinata. They were sleeping like usual cuddled together, Naruto had his chest pressed against her back pulling her closer to him.
Two figures were seen dashing through the roofs. They wore the standard jonin outfit for Konoha. The hitaiate in the forehead, the jonin flat jacket and black anbu pants with white strapping in the ankles.
"So you remember the plan?" - one of the jonins asked getting a nod from the other.
"Let's get this over with so we can collect our pay" - the other said and rushed towards the destination. They arrived at the red light sector and very quietly made their way into a house. The house itself seemed old with a few patched holes in the outsides walls. They approached the window and saw the sleeping pair, the demon and it's whore.
They decided to make entrance through the roof seeing that their bed was too close to the window. They quickly and stealthy entered the house and made their way in to their bedroom. They were approaching their bed and one said "This is your end demon" and quickly drove two kunais through both of their chests.
The jonins smiled in victory until there was a poof of smoke and reveled two logs with kunais, they turned around and didn't like very much the view. They saw a sharingan blazing and the byakugan activated. "Oh the demon has the sharingan, he probably stole it when he killed the Uchiha clan, let's kill them" - one of the jonin said and dashed to the pair.
"Ok, Hinata you take one I'll take the other, be careful they are jonin we might be skilled but they have more strength than us" - Naruto said. "Hai" - she replied and dashed to intercept one of the jonins.
WITH NARUTO
"Why are you attacking us? It's a crime to attack a fellow shinobi of the leaf" - Naruto asked knowing pretty much the answer.
"You no partner to us, die demon" - the jonin responded and took the kunai and slashed horizontally. Naruto ducked and using his foot he stroke the jonin foot making him tumble forward. Using his momentum Naruto lifted his knee and manage to strike him in the gut. The jonin quickly recovered and jumped back.
"Not bad demon, let's take this up a notch" - the jonin said and quickly made a few hand signs and yelled "Doton - Tsuchi no Yoroi (Earth Style - Earth Armor)" and enveloped his body in strong earth shell. "He's using an earth shell, good thing my main affinity is lightning" - Naruto thought.
They dashed forward and exchanged a few blows. Thanks to the sharingan Naruto managed to block or dodge every single one of them, however due to enemy's armor his strikes were ineffective and he couldn't attack any pressure point. Naruto switch to his own nintaijutsu style the lightning fist. Naruto charged his hands and feet in a coat of lightning chakra.
He dashed forward and went for low kick, the jonin jumped up to avoid it. Naruto quickly recovered and sent a massive punch to jonin chest destroying his armor and sending him against a wall.
"That hurt you damn brat" - the jonin yelled.
They both engaged again but Naruto had the upper hand, deciding to end it and going to help Hinata, Naruto sidestepped a punch, and infused his fingers with lightning chakra and pressed hard against the jonins head near the hear discharging the chakra in his vagus nerve sending the jonin to cardiac arrest. (A/N: By the way, the vagus nerve does exist and if pressed with enough strength messes up with hearth's rhythm or something similar. I'm not a medic rather an engineer but I know a few things xD).
Naruto left the jonin shaking in the floor and left him to go help Hinata. He turned around to see Hinata having the upper hand until she made a mistake and the jonin took the opportunity and went for a horizontal slash.
"HINATA" - Naruto yelled, he deactivated his gravity seal and dashed at the top of his speed to help her, knowing that he wouldn't reach her in time he did the only think he could and substituted himself with her.
Naruto now in the place of Hinata was seeing the blade coming closer and closer, his sharingan could be seen as a curse for it was showing his death in slow motion. He tried to bring his kunai to block the sword but it was too late, just as the blade was about to make contact Naruto unwittingly channeled a massive amount of chakra to his eyes until they started spinning and reversing its colors, suddenly everything became even clearer and time seemed to slowdown even more.
Naruto was watching the blade come closer and closer and just as it was about to make contact with his skin, the strangest thing happened. The blade continued in its path as if slicing cleanly through him but Naruto didn't feel any pain.
The enemy jonin didn't know what was happening, his blade seemed to phase right through the demon as if he wasn't even there. The blade left his body as if nothing ever happened, it was then he looked at his eyes. Instead of the blood red eyes with black tomoes Naruto's eyes switched to being pure black and in the middle a glowing red cracked circle with 3 red orbs on it. The jonin didn't know what it was but it was too late. (A/N: Check Profile for image)
Naruto caught the jonin's hand as it left him and broke his wrist making him drop the sword. Naruto looked him in the eyes, with his sharingan spinning and said "Genjutsu - Forced Sleep", as he said the jonin fell to ground unconscious.
Naruto turned to Hinata who was too stunned with what happened that she didn't even saw him approach. "Hinata are you alright, are you hurt?" - Naruto asked concerned with her.
"I'm not hurt thanks to you" - she said and hugged him and cried. "I can't believe they would drop so low to attack us in the night, I guess I was too optimistic." - Naruto thought. They separated until Hinata looked at him and gasped.
"Naru-kun, your eyes" - she said, Naruto didn't know what she was talking about and went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror and raised an eyebrow. "What the hell is this?"- he thought.
"That kit is the next form of the sharingan, knows as the eternal mangekyou sharingan, you are very lucky to have awakened it. That particular eyes only awakens in life and death situations or through intense training" - the kyuubi explained
"So that's why that blade passed right through me, it must be a power of it" - he thought.
"I guess, but I never seen that one in particular. I've seen Madara's techniques using those eyes but I don't know how to use them so you will have to figure it out. Deal with the intruders, I'll explain something about those eyes later" - the kyuubi said and Naruto nodded and quickly went the jonin that survived and tied him up, placing a chakra restricting seal in him.
Couple of minutes later the body of the dead jonin was sealed in a scroll that Naruto would later take to the hokage, he picked up a glass of water and splashed it on the jonin's face awaking him.
"Hi there buddy, let's talk now" - Naruto said in a sweet voice that sent shivers even to Hinata that had her byakugan active to see if he would lie.
"Damn demon, i'm not saying anything you might as well kill me now" - the jonin said trying to hide his fear at being at the mercy of the demon after trying to kill his lover.
"Where's the fun in killing you." - Naruto said and activated his normal sharingan and said " Magen - Jigoku Gouka no Jutsu (Hell Fire Technique)" the jonin was trapped in the genjutsu and felt like he was being burned alive, since he was tied up and had chakra restriction seal he couldn't break the illusion. This went on for a few minutes until the jonin decided he couldn't bear it anymore.
"O-OK, I'll talk... please stop" - he begged until Naruto ended the jutsu and looked him with his sharingan along with Hinata checking for lies.
"Listen well, I'll only say this once" - Naruto said with his sharingan glowing making the jonin nod quickly. "Why did you decided to attack us?" - Naruto asked, he wanted to know why all of a sudden they decided to take such a direct approach against him.
"It was a deal, me and my friend would kill you for a payment." - the jonin explained looking at the corpse of his friend and thinking it was a mistake to accept it, but it was too late now.
"I see... and who 'requested' the mission?" - the jonin hesitated in telling him who asked for the death of the demon. Naruto deactivated his sharingan and locked eyes with the jonin, his cold blue eyes that seemed to penetrate his soul made him flinch.
"It was Tuno Konta a merchant of this village and belongs to the Civilian Council." - the jonin answered and Naruto already suspected it would have been one of the civilians with wealth enough to wire two jonins.
"Hinata, he's telling the truth?" - Naruto asked and Hinata nodded. Naruto turned to the tied up jonin and smirked.
"What are you going to do to me?" - the jonin asked in a fearful voice, he didn't want any more pain, he preferred a quick death.
"As much I would like to kill you now I won't. I'm delivering you to the hokage tomorrow morning with your friend over there and after that I'm calling for the execution of said civilian." - Naruto said and went behind him and knocked him out with a quick chop the neck.
"What do we do now?" - Hinata asked. They were too pumped up to sleep now.
"It's 4 a.m. The hokages office opens at 7 so in the mean time I'm placing a few security seals around the house to make sure this doesn't happen again" - he said. Naruto went to Hinata and kissed her. He hugged her and whispered "I'm sorry, it's my fault. They were after me" - Naruto said. He was sad and mad that the villagers would try to kill even her.
"It's not your fault. And besides, don't think this is enough to drive me away from you" - she replied and gave him a passionate kiss.
"Thank you" - Naruto said happy to have found the woman he would spend the rest of his life with.
Naruto went to the walls and quickly placed security and privacy seals, and a chakra detector seal lock at the door. With his kage bushin it only took him around an hour to fully seal his apartment making sure that whoever tried to break in would have a nasty surprise.
They both laid in bed with Hinata snuggled together until she fell asleep in the safety of his arms. This wasn't how he intended to start his day. Naruto drifted off to sleep and went to his mindscape to talk with the kyuubi.
"So kyuubi what did you want to tell me about my new eyes" - Naruto asked excited to have unlocked the eyes that made Uchiha Madara so powerful.
"Ok kit, this is going to be long story so shut up and list well" - the kyuubi said and Naruto nodded.
"It all began a few thousand years ago. The human race was living peacefully among each other until one day a fearsome beast appeared. No one knows where it originated but it was too powerful for humans to defeat. Many thought it was a punishment from the gods. The beast itself had ten tails and was knows as the Juubi (ten-tails). Nothing seemed to be able to stop until a man appeared and faced the beast alone.
The man managed to defeat the beast by sealing it inside his own body. He would later be known was the Rikudou Sennin the father of all ninjutsu. The man was hailed as a hero for defeating the beast and was considered by all a god among men. However he to aged and sooner or later came to his old age.
Knowing that in his death the beast would be set free, he split it's chakra in 9, thus creating what you know now was the 9 tailed beats, going from one tail to me, the nine tails. You are with me so far?" - the kyuubi asked, seeing Naruto nod he continued.
"During his life the Rikudou Sennin had two sons. The older son received his eyes and founded the Uchiha Clan while the younger one received his body strength and was the progenitor of the Senju Clan. In his death bed Rikudou Sennin had to chose which of his sons would carry on his legacy.
Due to the younger sons ideals he chose him, however this didn't agreed with his brother. His older brother thought that since he was the eldest, it should be him to lead the world in his father's place. Angered at his younger brother and father he tried to fight his brother for the place but he lost.
Having lost he realized that he needed to gather more forces and end the Senju line before it even began, but he realized that being alone it would take too long to build a clan so he did a blood ritual to transform, so to speak, ordinary civilians into Uchihas. OK the story ends here. You understood everything?" - the kyuubi asked and Naruto replied "Yes I think I got it. The Rikudou had two sons and older one did blood ritual to increase his clan faster so that he could defeat the senju brother".
"That's right, now about your eye. You see the descendants of the older brother are 'pure-blooded' Uchihas while the others that were born out of the ritual were known as 'half-blooded' Uchihas.Nowadays no one even knows that distinction anymore.
The key difference between the two is the activation of the mangekyou. If you were part of the 'half-blooded' side you would have to kill someone close to you and experience the emotion of that loss in order to awaken it and, even after awakening it, as you were using your eyes you were constantly losing sight until becoming permanently blind unless you removed your eyes and placed in its place the eyes of your brother, father or someone directly related to you, in doing so you would achieve the eternal mangekyou sharingan.
However the 'pure-blooded' Uchihas achieved the mangekyou differently. They activated those eyes in the heat of battle and in life and death situations and when they achieve it, it was already in its eternal form. The line of 'pure-blooded' Uchihas was Uchiha Madara's Line. Since he only had Minato and his brother didn't have any son that we know of, currently you are the last of the 'pure-blooded' line." - the kyuubi concluded.
"Does that mean that one day my sons would be able to have the mangekyou?" - Naruto asked
"Yes, since the sharingan gene is dominant only one of the parents is necessary and you being 'pure-blooded' your sons would awaken the mangekyou in its final form like you" - the kyuubi answered.
"It's good, I wouldn't even think about killing someone close to me for power. I have a question though. I've read that Madara stole his brothers eyes." - Naruto wondered
"You can't trust everything you read. He might have stolen them but he didn't need them" - the kyuubi replied.
"Now that I think about it, that baka is constantly bragging about being an Uchiha and he isn't even 'pure-blooded'" - Naruto said laughing.
"Thanks. It's almost 7 a.m. I'll see you later" - Naruto said and left the mindscape. Naruto got up and picked up the scrolls containing the two jonin. He and Hinata got dressed and made their way to the hokage tower to start the day by giving the old man a nice early, fresh headache.
## Hokage Tower ##
The hokage was currently leaning in his chair enjoying a cup of hot tea to jump start him in his paperwork. It truly was the nightmare of all kages. Suddenly there was a knock on his door.
"Come in" - the old hokage said. The door opened and he saw an unhappy Naruto carrying two scrolls with Hinata."This can't be good" - he thought.
"Naruto-kun, how are you doing?" - he asked
"We are doing fine, better than these two in fact" - Naruto replied and tossed the scrolls to the hokage.
"Naruto, what is this?" - the hokage asked
"Open them and see for yourself" - the hokage opened both scrolls and saw it was a sealing scroll. He channeled chakra through both of them and on the floor appeared a dead jonin while the other was tied up but awake.
"Naruto, what's the meaning of this?" - the hokage asked in a serious tone.
Naruto walked to the tied up jonin and removed the duck tape from his mouth and asked "Would you do the honors?", to which the jonin quickly replied.
"We were hired by Tuno Konta to kill the dem..." - Naruto didn't allow him to finish the sentence and it sent him a cold glare with his sharingan. The man gulped and continued "Uzumaki Naruto".
"Jeez, what a mess. The other is dead I suppose?" - the hokage asked and Naruto nodded. "I had to end him quick otherwise Hinata wouldn't be here" - he said and placed a hand on Hinata's shoulder pulling her closer.
"I should have suspected, yesterday council meeting was about you and didn't end well" - the hokage said sighing.
"At least neither of you got hurt. Don't worry Naruto the man responsible will be considered a traitor for attacking a shinobi and will be dealt with" - the hokage said glaring at the jonin. It was pitiful to see his shinobi fall so low that they would try and kill a fellow partner.
"You know old man, I actually find it funny" - he said chuckling. Seeing the confused face of the hokage he continued "They tried to kill me because they were afraid I would grow up too powerful and would someday attack the village. However they ended up giving me more power" - he said activating the sharingan and shifting into the EMS and showing it to the hokage.
"N-Naruto, is that what I think it is?" - the hokage said with his eyes widened.
"Yup old man, I present to you my eternal mangekyou sharingan" - he said smirking making his eyes spin. He started explaining everything he knew about the 'pure-blooded' Uchihas and the activation of this eye.
The hokage had his jaw on the floor while he was processing everything he heard. He snapped out of his stupor and said "So that means that Itachi will end up blind, unless he gets the eyes of Sasuke" - the hokage said.
"That's right, however Sasuke must have unlocked his mangekyou and knowing him, if he ever finds out about it, he probably wouldn't hesitate to end the life of someone close to him" - Naruto replied in a serious tone.
"I'll try to keep to a watch on him. Naruto in the mean time keep those eyes hidden, now even more. Uchiha Madara was one of the strongest shinobis to ever live because of the sharingan. You still need to learn how to use them so keep it quite ok?" - the hokage asked and Naruto nodded and left the room.
The hokage flared his chakra and in front of him appeared an ANBU. "Take the one alive to Ibiki and Anko. Also get Tuno Konta and send him to Ibiki as well" - the hokage ordered.
"I'm really getting too old for this shit" - the hokage thought.
