Chapter 6 - chapter 6

In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen is looking out the window at the village when he feels a presence."Yato, come in!" Hiruzen says.Yato Hyuuga appears and kneels in front of Hiruzen. "I'm ready to give you the test report!""Tell me!" Hiruzen says.Yato begins. "I tested the boys using the strength limit of an elite chunin, as you requested. Hideki is at the level of a normal genin, considering the way he moves and the traps he set. Shisui, I'll have to test him a little more, but I estimate that he's already at the chunin level, considering the traps he set, the precision of his attacks, and the fact that he already knows fire-elemental ninjutsu and has a sharingan with 1 tomoe. As for Itachi, I can guarantee that he is at the level of an elite chunin at the very least. His strategic planning is on par with any chunin and can present difficulties even for weaker jonins. His shurikennojutsu is something that even jonins would not be a match for. Just like Shisui, he is also proficient in the use of fire ninjutsu and has a complete sharingan. His chakra is enormous, equivalent to the chakra of a one-tailed biju. He does a great job of suppressing his own chakra, but during the battle I could see at least that amount and I suspect that his chakra is even greater. Honestly, the potential he possesses is monstrous."Hiruzen opens his eyes wide in shock and thinks. 'I already knew the information about him having a gigantic chakra equivalent to a biju and already having the Sharingan, but the fact that his chakra can be even greater but cannot be felt because he is suppressing it shows that he has an incredible ability of control chakra and that he is also a great sensor because he can normally suppress his chakra to levels that, despite being high, are not monstrous. But apparently, when he enters into battle, he loses some of this control that he has and his true volume of chakra begins to appear.It is as Yato said, his potential is monstrous, but if it is well directed, he will be an essential ninja for Konoha, who knows, even a future Hokage. From what we observed throughout the year he spent at the academy and in the places he visited, he has a mentality and knowledge far above his age, and his discernment in the special tests that I personally asked Kuroshi to apply to him shows that he can see the forest behind the trees and does not have the temperament that is normally found in other Uchihas.My colleagues, especially Danzou, are extremely afraid of another Madara Uchiha coming into existence, but I think differently. If someone with Madara's potential has the first lord's heart, Konoha will have a new golden age, just as it was when lord first was still alive and before the first ninja war.'While Hiruzen was lost in thought, Yuto continued his report."I believe we can skip the phase of applying D-rank missions to the team within the village, as they only serve to increase the teamwork they already have, and send Team 1 to one of the camps on the borders, there they can do D-rank logistics missions within the field and gain experience by exterminating some groups of bandits who take advantage of this time of war to plunder villages while our attention is focused on the enemy nations."Hiruzen nods in agreement with such an analysis and says: "You are right, normally in times of peace I would do it differently and give more time for the children to develop slowly, but in this time of war it is a waste of Itachi and Shisui's potential if we do not give them the experience they will need with the potential they have. I will send your team 1 to the Field on the border of the Mist Village, the commander in charge of that combat front is Dan Katou, report to him as soon as you get there, dismissed!""Yes sir!" Yato says disappearing.After some time, Hiruzen heads to the conference hall where a meeting is being held to discuss the current state of the war. Shikaku Nara, the village elders, and some elders and heads of all the clans are present."Lord Hokage!" everyone greets in unison.Hiruzen: "How is the situation on the battlefield?"Shikaku: "The samurai have decided to remain neutral in this war, as has Amegakure. Danzou reported that Hanzou is focused on dealing with a group of rebels in his country and will only decide when that is over. Orochimaru is the Commander in charge of the Sand Village's borders and reported that although some conflicts are occurring, Suna's focus is on Iwa. Jiraya is the commander in charge of the border with the Stone Village and reported that the conflicts are intensifying. The Tsuchikage sent the 5-tailed jinchuriki to the combat front against Suna and the 4-tailed jinchuriki to the combat front against Konoha. He has not yet made any major attacks, but Jiraya is prepared to intercept him when necessary. Minato is the commander on the border against the Cloud Village and reported that the conflict is also intensifying on his battlefront. The son of the Third Raikage and the eight-tailed jinchuriki are very active on the battlefield and there are rumors that he is a perfect jinchuriki. The two-tailed jinchuriki is busy on the Kiri border against the current 3-tailed jinchuriki. Dan is the commander on the border of the village in the mist and reported that the conflict has also been intensifying, the six-tailed jinchuriki and the current formation of the seven swordsmen of the mist are proving difficult to deal with so the decision was made to send Tsunade as support. Fugaku is in charge of protecting the feudal lord and reported that only minor incidents with spies have occurred so far. Thanks to Minato's Raijin we have a great logistical advantage in that he can send clones to transport important people to other battlefields, himself or Lord Hokage if necessary."Hiruzen nods: "Great, it seems in this war the small villages will only focus on protecting themselves, and the conflicts will only be between the large villages, let's focus on maintaining our advantage and minimizing the damage we will suffer as much as possible. I count on the help of all of you so that Konoha emerges victorious at the end of this war!""Yes Lord Hokage!!" everyone speaks in unity. Then they continue the meeting to discuss other details. Inside Itachi's house, a celebration is being held with all the members of Team 1. Mikoto has made a banquet to celebrate the graduation of all the members to genin and the fact that Itachi is the youngest genin in the history of Konoha.After filling their stomachs with food until there is no more room, the three genins sit on the porch to talk before going to sleep.Hideki: "Ahhh... I ate so much that I feel like I'm going to explode, your mother's cooking is so delicious Itachi, I'm jealous!"Shisui: "haha... I agree with Hideki, Aunt Mikoto is a great cook, it's a shame that we won't have as many opportunities like this from now on, soon we'll be sent to some battlefield and we'll have to eat only the rations they give us or what we hunt."Itachi: "I also think my mother is a great cook, and I don't think they'll send us to the battlefield any time soon. They'll probably make us do a lot of boring D-rank missions inside Konoha until we're bored to death. But even if I'm wrong and they send us to the battlefield, I don't think it'll be that bad. After all, we're just genins. We'll just have to stock up on some scrolls full of supplies and prepare them inside the camp we're assigned to."Hideki looks up at the sky with a thoughtful and serious expression and says: "Hey guys, what will our lives be like inside the battlefield? I understand that as a ninja we would eventually fight in various battles, but I imagined that this would be, I don't know, something that I would have to worry about in the future. But now we're in a war and being a ninja has become even more dangerous and everything seems so fast. You're both geniuses and can even defeat academy teachers, but I'm just a normal ninja. Will I be able to keep up with this team?" He looks down with a sad expression.Shisui puts his hand on Hideki's shoulder and smiles encouragingly and says: "You don't need to worry about that, just like we helped you at the academy, we will continue to help you now that we are ninjas, and being considered a genius is not all that you think, don't you remember how isolated I was before we became friends? You helped me fit in and did the same with Itachi, so of course we will help you too, each of us has our own qualities and we use them to make up for the other's defects, after all, that's what friends are for!"Itachi smiles and says: "That's it, if we support each other there is no war that can stop us!"Hideki looks at Shisui and Itachi with eyes full of tears, smiling and quickly gets up and starts to leave saying: "HAHAH... Look at that strong wind, throwing dirt in my eyes like that, I think I better go to sleep, see you guys tomorrow!"Shisui and Itachi look at each other and start laughing. Hideki has never been good at dealing with emotions.After that, they say goodbye and Shusui goes home and Itachi goes to his room to sleep. However, he can't fall asleep and decides to leave a wood clone in his room and go to the cave to train a little to get some sleep.Arriving at the cave, in the corner out of reach of the part where he trains, there are two statues made of stone. Itachi goes towards them to pay his respects. The larger statue is of a beautiful woman standing and smiling in his direction, and the other is of a boy running with open arms and smiling in his direction.A tear falls from Itachi's face as he looks at the statues of his wife and son that he made for fear of forgetting their faces. Itachi joins his hands and says a prayer, saying: "I miss you, I wish you all the happiness in the world, I hope you have a long, healthy and happy life."When Itachi is about to turn around to go train, a light catches his attention and before he can react, he finds himself in a different place where only he exists and the rest is empty. He activates his sharingan and looks around in shock.Itachi: "What do you mean?? I died?... But the feeling is different, what's happening?"Then he hears a voice, different from the entity he heard when he reincarnated.???: So this is what you look like now, dad?Itachi's entire body freezes and begins to shudder, tears begin to flow from his eyes without stopping, because before him an old man appears, the voice is different, the body is different, but I would recognize those eyes anywhere."Daniel..?" Itachi whispers.Daniel walks towards him, kneels and hugs him smiling and saying: "Yes, dad, it's me. I've always dreamed of hugging you like this again."Itachi returns the hug tightly, afraid to let go and his son leave, while crying into his chest.Daniel: "Father, unfortunately I don't have much time, so I'll have to explain quickly. It was explained to me that time is relative between universes, in our previous world I lived a long and happy life, raised my children, and took care of my grandchildren and great-grandchildren, I have no regrets in that sense, the only regret I had was not having lived longer with you and mom. So when I died of old age, I was given reincarnation options thanks to my karma, I chose to live together with you and mom again in a new world. But the entity said that for this to happen some of my advantages would be taken away (whatever that is), as they would be used to bring my mother to this world since she doesn't have the necessary amount of karma, send a message to you and be reincarnated with my memories intact.The message is to warn you, after all, it is necessary for you and my mother to have me so that I can be born, haha, and this message will also awaken my mother's memories, I was informed by the entity that this world is quite dangerous but that you have the skills to be very strong in this world, so I thought it would be a good choice to exchange some of my advantages so that I can have you and mom again and be able to warn you about what happened, the entity said that just telling you mom's new name is enough for you to find her, her name is Keiko Hyuuga, find her and explain the situation to her, considering the age you appear to have it will take some time until I am born again, hahaha, but I am looking forward to being a family again." Daniel begins to disappear.Itachi: "Wait, don't go!!!"Daniel says as he looks into his father's eyes, smiling as he disappears: "It looks like time is up, I hope to see you and mom soon, I love you!""I love you too!" Itachi says as he watches Daniel disappear and the scene returns to the cave with the statues he is used to. He looks back at his son's statue and says: "We'll see each other again soon, I'll make sure of it!"Then he looks at his wife's statue and remembers her name. 'Keiko Hyuuga, so that's your new name… Wait a moment... Hyuuga?'.Itachi's chakra explodes with intensity, causing a small crater and various cracks around it, his Mangekyou Sharingan activates and begins to shine brightly, while anger never felt before begins to run through his veins as he thinks.'If she is from the branch family and they dare to put that damn seal on her forehead I will exterminate that entire clan, they will see what a thousand-handed Buddha clad in a perfect susanoo can do and anyone who tries to interfere will also feel my fury, I will seal each and every one of them in my sword so that they suffer for eternity in a genjutsu, I will....'"Take a deep breath..." Itachi says to himself, and begins to take deep breaths and try to calm himself down, so he can think more rationally.'Okay, I need to think about it, a Hyuuga only receives the mark when he turns 4 or 5, which means I still have 1 or 2 years, and the Hyuugas who are part of the main branch who are the patriarch and 4 elders do not have the mark, like Yato Sensei who is the son of one of the elders. I'll first ask him if he knows any girls my age named Keiko, and I'll act on his answer.'After calming down, Itachi begins training and focuses his training entirely on senjutsu. Wood clones do not transfer information and chakra back to the original, but they are able to use shadow clones, and through them he can acquire the wood clone's information, and has been using this since the beginning of the year when he sends wood clones to do things in his place.50 wood clones are made and begin to sense and absorb natural energy. Recently he has succeeded in sensing natural energy, now he just needs to find the right balance to enter a perfect sage mode. Wood clones are a safe method of conducting experiments without running the risk of becoming a stone statue since he does not have a rod that disperses natural energy like the toads.If the wood clone starts to turn to stone, at least the natural energy won't go to the original, and if it succeeds even in an imperfect sage mode, it will exit the mode and make a shadow clone to pass the information to the original.More than half of the clones began to turn into stone statues under the watchful eye of Itachi's sharingan, only a third were able to achieve partial balance and enter imperfect sage modes, with branches growing from their bodies, these clones began to experiment with their abilities, and when the imperfect sage mode ended, they made a shadow clone for Itachi to understand what happened and complement his concussions.'Hmmm... I see! I think I'll succeed now!'Itachi made 50 more wood clones, and now 44 of them entered imperfect sage modes, but 6 managed to reach perfect sage modes, with marks just like Hashirama's in their faces."That's it, success, haha, finally, the part that took the longest was feeling natural energy without the help of the oil, it took almost a year to achieve it!"After receiving the information, He decided to try and after accumulating the necessary natural energy he transformed into his perfect sage mode and realized that even his sharingan had become stronger as well as his entire body and senses."This feeling of power is intoxicating! I have much more chakra than Naruto, so I can stay in sage mode for longer, but I'm going to take another page out of his book and whenever I need to, I'll use shadow clones to gather natural energy for myself during a difficult battle.Now I can be considered like a biju in the destruction I can cause, I have monstrous offensive and defensive abilities, but I don't have the necessary experience to use them efficiently, so S-rank ninjas are still a danger to me, but anyone with an A-rank or lower are no match for me if I use the big guns, unless they join several A-rank against me of course.A few days ago I also succeeded in fusing my fire element with the Rasengan, and of course I gave the technique a very unoriginal name: RasenBomb. I have only tested it in a small version, just like Naruto's mini Rasen Shuriken. The jutsu's appearance is as if I had a miniature sun in the palm of my hand, and it doesn't even leave ashes of anything in its area of ​​destruction. However, it is an incomplete jutsu, as it also hurts me when creating it thanks to its immense heat.I am sure that when I learn to combine Yin or Yang with my jutsus, I will be able to freely use the RasenBomb. Being able to combine yin or yang with natural elements is a symbol that a ninja has become Rank S and the jutsus used are taken to the next level. For now, I can only use the RasenBomb with a suicide clone.After finishing some tests with senjutsu, Itachi returns home to sleep and prepare to meet his wife again, by any means necessary.
