Chapter 2

With Kaito

Kaito didn't stall when the mysterious armored figure fires at him, he blocks the incoming shot with his sword and deflects it into the sky before it explodes 25 feet into the sky, like a cyan firework.

"Wait, stop this, please" Kaito begs to his attacker. "It's me"

But his attack did not response and aims its arm cannon at him, charging another attack. Kaito bit his lower lip at this, as a rational thought is telling him something he does not want to do.

"Damn it all, I swear that you'll suffer for this Yubel!" exclaims Kaito as he charges at his attacker.

Kaito begrudgingly charges to attack, he slid low the moment the energy shot was fired, and he dodges it with ease. Kaito then swings his sword and destroys the arm cannon so that no more shots can he fired at him.

The armoured figure jumped back from this and removes the damaged part of the cannon. The arm cannon shifts and modifies until it's become a rocket launcher. It aims at Kaito and fires a rocket; the rocket launches but Kaito misses while the rocket hits a nearby house.

BOOM

Kaito pays no attention to the destruction the rocket caused, for he must stay focused on surviving the battle he is now in a middle of. A battle he does not want to be in, ever.

More rockets were fired but once again Kaito dodges them again, resulting in more explosions on the streets, forming fires and smoke which will undoubtedly alert everyone in Konoha.

I better leave or all of Konoha will be here thought Kaito, unfortunately that thought of concern got him distracted when another rocket was fired and finally made it's mark.

BOOM!

AGH!" exclaimed Kaito as he collapses on the floor, the rocket would normally blow up a person but it the only damage it caused on the dark protector is horrible scorches on his clothes and parts of his body. "*cough* damn it, Yubel must've gave you stronger rockets to use against me. How cruel of her to sent you to kill me."

The dark armored assassin modifies its arm cannon and aims it point blank at the fallen Kaito.

"Go on, finish me off" said Kaito with defeat in his voice.

The Dark Armored figure hesitates for a moment, which Kaito noticed. But before Kaito could speak, an array of blades flies towards the stranger and caused it to jump back.

"Huh?" said Kaito as he turns to see where those flying blades are coming from. There stands a strange boy with auburn hair and golden eyes, a pair of daggers with a Yin-Yang design.

"Begone, puppet of Yubel" said the red-haired boy as he tosses his daggers at the dark armoured figure, forcing it to retreat.

"Wait, don't go!" said Kaito as he tries to get up but is too injured to get up. "Xion!"

Kaito's pleas only reach deaf ears as the dark armored figure didn't respond, much to Kaito's dismay as he drops on all fours, grit his teeth to stifle an angry roar. He then angrily turns to the boy and glares at him.

"Who the hell are you?" exclaimed Kaito

"No time, I need to get you back to the Nexus" said the boy "Chaossonic will explain"

"Chaos?" said Kaito as the boy mentioned his fellow world maker. But before he would ask more questions, the Dark Protector collapses and falls unconscious.

Meanwhile

Naruto and Samus are in a middle of a friendly spar when Samus suddenly stops with a expression of worry and dread on her face.

"Samus?" said Naruto noticing the look on his sparing partner's face. "What's wrong?"

"I sensed a disturbance; my Master is not conscious" said Samus "Something's gone wrong."

"Do you want us to stop and check on him?" said Naruto

"no, your Phazon training is important" said Samus "Disregarding my master's status, you must be ready."

"But what of Kaito?" said Naruto

"My master has friends, they'll help him" said Samus "I'm sure of it."

Nexus

Chaossonic is in the middle of arranging scrolls and books containing dark tales, some told and untold. While he's busy, he didn't notice that the Nexus is gaining a new quest.

"You shouldn't be here, Shirou" said Chaossonic while putting away a few more scrolls and books, not turning away to see Shirou with an unconscious Kaito over his shoulders.

"Is that anyway to greet an old friend, Chaos-san?" said Shirou "If I hadn't come, Kaito would've died"

"Don't confuse Kaito with any of those feeble mortals" said Chaossonic as he finished arranging a shelf and turns to properly greet the auburn-haired teen. "but you do make a fair point, thank you for saving him."

"You know I have to save him, he's crucial to both of our objective" said Shirou

"And I thought you came to save him out of the goodness of your heart." Said Chaossonic with an amusing sarcastic tone.

"I have no goodness, Overlords aren't good, kind or heroic" said Shirou darkly as he remembered of the past lie he lived before discovering his true destiny.

Chaossonic laughs amusingly at Shirou while patting his shoulder.

"This is why I like you, kid" said Chaossonic. "Anyway, I think I can guess why you are here."

"Hai, Julien Ainsworth is here" said Shirou frowning at the name. "And I must stop him from interfering with…"

"Ok, no need to go on, I'm fully aware" said Chaossonic "My skills of prediction do not compare that of YinShadow's but I know about your connection with the Ainsworth family. Bastards, the lot of them especially Darius Ainsworth. That fool is no different than Zouken Matou, that maggot infested creep *shudder*." Chaos then spat on the ground since he has a huge hatred to the two, but he couldn't help but shudder in disgust about the latter for remembering what he is now.

"Don't remind me, they made my adoptive little sister Miyu and my first mistress Sakura Matou suffer." said Shirou disgusted with what those two old bastards did to some of his loved ones "So will you help me?"

"As much as I want to kick the living shit out of Julian Ainsworth, but unfortunately my schedule is full up. I'm at neck's length of work here in the Nexus, plus I must pay my part in this event with Naruto."

"I understand, I can wait…beside I must return to the Gates of Hell and start my other quest out of Konoha."

"Rodin made you pay for telling you the Nexus's location, did he?" said chaossonic

"Hai" said Shirou "anyway, please think about it, ok?"

"I'll see if I can squeeze our appointment in" said Chaossonic. "Oh, before you go I need to give you some things." Chaos then brought out a pack of what look like tarot cards only instead of the normal tarot cards it had what looked like classes on them

"The Ainzworth cards?"

"A different version of them ones that I made since you did use one to fight the Ainzworths I am giving you some more incase. Archer (this card you are familiar with), Saber, Ruler, Avenger, and … Assassin

"Why did you nearly stop at assassin?" Shirou asks when the worldmaker hesitated to speak of the Assassin class.

"Trust me" said Chaossonic with a grim expression. "You will see what I mean Shirou."

"Thanks" said Shirou he then took the pack while leaving the Nexus.

"Now then…" said Chaossonic as he turns to an unconscious Kaito lying on the floor. "What am I going to do with you?"

Next day

With the help from Chaossonic, Kaito is fully recovered and returns to his Shrine to supervise Naruto's training. The Dark Protector's thoughts are troubled from last night's attack by the Dark Armoured figure whom he claims to be Xion, his believed to be dead sister/wife.

The nerve of her, to use my beloved whom I mourn against me thought Kaito while watching Naruto spar with his student. No, don't dwell on the past. Chaos is right, it's just some sick trick Yubel has played to demoralize me.

(Flashback: yesterday)

"Wakey, wakey!" said Chaossonic tapping Kaito's face to wake him, all wounds are healed and believed that Kaito has rested enough. "Oi! Wake up! Yin is posting a new fic."

"Huh?" said Kaito as he starts to wake up and finds himself within the Nexus "How did I get here?"

"Never mind how you got here, tell me how you hurt so easily" said Chaos crossing his arms. "Seriously, you're a world maker and the Dark Protector. How can you get hurt so easy, how embarrassing?"

"You weren't there, so back off!" exclaimed Kaito

"Whoa, easy I was only kidding" said Chaossonic holding his hands up in defense. "I already know, but I want to hear it from you, ok?"

Kaito groaned with annoyance at Chaossonic at his inappropriate teasing and sighed.

"You should know well how many battles I fought in my time and what scars I got from them." Said Kaito "But the one scar that hurts so much is the one on my heart."

"Oh jeez, not this again" said Chaossonic rolling his eyes at Kaito. "Look, Xion is dead you got to accept it."

"Then explain to me why I fought an assassin in HER armour?"

"Yubel is a sick bitch, she thought it'd be funny for her to mess with your head" said Chaossonic "Many sadistic assholes use that technique, even I do it"

Kaito frowns at this, but he may have a point. Yubel is cruel to use that cowardly trick on him and not face him like a warrior.

"Look, don't let Yubel get to you. When the time is right, you'll give that bitch what's coming to ya and avenge your family" said Chaossonic as reassures Kaito with a pat on the back. "Just don't drop your guard down this time, alright?"

"Alright" said Kaito

"Good, you best return to your shrine and continue your duty as a Sensei" said Chaossonic "I'll be waiting for mine to start when he arrives as he needs my knowledge to help his goddess get more powerful. Especially since I his son is also my student."

"His son?"

"you already meet him, his name is Shirou Emiya or as I prefer to call him Shirou Uzumaki."

Kaito nods at this and takes his leave.

(End of Flashback)

Kaito sighed and rubbed his head with annoyance, the incident with whom he believed to be Xion is giving him a migraine, and the fact that training underground is not helping and the thing about him meeting Naruto's son raises even more questions.

He stands up and spoke up to his 2 students.

"Time to put this training on hold" said Kaito "Naruto, you've been out of Konoha surveillance for too long that will bring the Hokage AND the Censored Justices' attention. You need to be seen and survive in the village for a while."

Naruto frowned at this, he doesn't like the idea of being exposed and being a walking target by those spiteful villagers. Not only that, Naruto grew suspicious about this and leers discreetly at Kaito, but Kaito noticed the leer but ignores it. Wishing not to antagonize the Overlord and jeopardize the event quest bestowed by Yami.

"Is this about last night?" said Naruto

Kaito retorted by that the turns to Naruto

"What do you mean?" said Kaito, trying to play ignorant.

"Last night, Samus sensed something is wrong and believed you were in danger." Said Naruto

Damn it, I forgot that Samus's Phazon Sensitivity Kaito mentally cursed, he sighed at this and turns to Naruto once more.

"The suspension of our training has nothing to do with that, what I say about you being unseen for too long is true." Said Kaito "DO not forget, the Censored Justice does not know that you're a Gamer or have knowledge of Darkborne yet. This gives you the advantage, but to maintain that advantage you must be witnessed out on the streets daily as possible."

"Even if it meant getting hunted by those bastards without fighting back?" said Naruto

"I am sorry, but those are the conditions of the quest" said Kaito

Naruto groans at this and tries not to lose his temper.

I'm starting to HATE this quest, especially when I'm wearing THIS GARBAGE! Thought Naruto angrily as he is still wearing that horrendous orange tracksuit. But he remembered that he has other objective in his quest, so he might go do one of them instead.

"Ok fine, but this better be worth it" said Naruto before leaving the shrine.

"Trust me it will" said Kaito before Naruto finally leaves the shrine. He then turns to his student, who is stood still and silent for a while. He appreciates the patience from Samus. "I have a mission for you Samus."

"What is it?" said Samus

Konoha

Naruto sighs inwardly while walking the streets of Konoha, once again getting not do discreet glares from the villages, and he can sense very discreet spying from the ANBU hidden in alleyways and rooftops but he remains nonchalant while walking the streets.

"Demon scum!" exclaims a random village who thought it was smart to jeer at Naruto and throw a throw at him. Naruto took the hit that struck his temple, but no pain was felt on him and a small bleeding cut is gained.

You saw who threw that? Thought Naruto to Juubi

"Hai" said Juubi angrily "You want me to inform Naomi-chan?"

No, remember the quest thought Naruto. Let either Scanty or kneesocks punish the bastard.

Speaking of which, the demon sisters saw the minor attack on Naruto and they saw the bastard that had the gall to wound him. Thankfully for their demonic status they are hidden of the plains of limbo and are now on pursuit for the bastard village. Waiting for the right moment to drag him into limbo and have their cruel inhumane fun.

No one will ever miss him. Well…apart from his friends and family, but who gives a fuck?

"Forgive me for being ignorant, but where are we going?"

I need to do something, and I thought this might be the right time. thought Naruto before he accidently bumped into someone. "Er…sorry"

Naruto didn't bother looking at who he accidently bumped to, if he did he would notice that whom he bumped is Saigo no Ha, the Last Leaf. Saigo, in a convincing disguise took a quick glance and discreetly glares at Naruto.

"No you're not, Naruto" said Saigo as his onyx black eyes flashed an Eternal Mangeykyo Sharingan for a brief moment, resulting in blood seeping from his eyes. "But you will be."

Hokage Tower: Office

Hiruzen Sarutobi is in the middle of his ridiculous pile of paperwork, signing and stamping repeatedly, trying not to lose his temper after being the Sandaime Hokage for 40 years and 11 more years after his successor died which forced him out of retirement. No rest for poor old Sarutobi, and no one yet worthy to be the Godaime to take his place.

And I be darned than let Danzō-baka be Hokage thought Sarutobi snarling at his old rival. I know what he did, plus Orochimaru's gone crazy and traitor. I need a proper candidate, so I can return to blissful retirement.

KNOCK

KNOCK

"Yes?" said Sarutobi as the door opens to reveals to be Mrs. Deggle, the Secretary "What is it, Mrs. Deggle?"

"A Naruto Uzumaki is here to see you" said Mrs. Deggle with an uncomfortable look on her face..

"Oh right, let him in them" said Sarutobi

"H-Hai" said Mrs. Deggle still trying to look calm but failed. "The Hokage will see you now"

"Thank you" said Naruto as he enters the office, he took a quick glance at the secretary, noticing her hateful glare at him. But that doesn't bother him as he remembered what cruel fate befalls her. Can't wait to see that again.

"Scare her the fuck out of the window" said Juubi, which she at which Naruto laugh inwardly.

Shh, shh, please I'm trying to be serious for this meeting. Thought Naruto trying not to smile or laugh, but the Hokage noticed this.

"Something funny, Naruto?" said Sarutobi "You mind sharing the joke with me."

"Oh...er, this is was just trying hold my excitement, that's all" said Naruto quickly making an excuse, fortunately his Silver Tongue skill made it convincing. "You see, the reason I came here is because I wanted to enroll for the Shinobi Academy."

"So, you want to become a ninja?" said Sarutobi "Makes sense, considering you being Hokage and all that."

"Y-Yeah, dattebayo" said Naruto smiling at the Hokage, but deep inside he feels himself cringe at his verbal tick. Oh Yami, I feel dirty saying that.

"It's ok, I'm here" said Jūbi

Naruto smiled calmly by that and continues.

"Not just that, due to my…reputation around Konoha." Said Naruto, trying to refer about being hated in Konoha without exposing the reason why. "It would by doubtful to get any civilian work in the village."

"Makes sense" said Sarutobi, feeling guilty now. He makes a fair point, they all know about the Kyūbi inside him disregarding the law I enforced just after that incident. Ususually wise coming from Naruto, but it looks like he's maturing.

"It would be understanding, and I would be happy to enroll you to the academy." Said Sarutobi as he rummages for something in the pile of paperwork. "Let's see…there we go."

Academy Application Papers Obtained

"Just fill in the paper and present it to chinning Iruka Umino at the academy." Said Sarutobi "He's the one with the scar across his nose."

Naruto remembers Iruka, the man who passed him but only out of pity when Mizuki exposed the reason of Konoha hatred of him. After that, Naruto has mixed opinions of the chunnin.

"Thanks, I'll fill it up immediately" said Naruto as he takes his leave until suddenly the door knocks again by Mrs. Deggle

"Hokage-sama, Hizashi Hyūga is here to see you."

"He must be here on Hiashi's behalf" said Sarutobi "Let him in"

The door opens and Hizashi enters, this man looks identical to the current Hyūga patriarch, but he is wearing the standard Jōnin uniform and Hitai-ate on his forehead.

"Hokage-sama, I am here to pick up the application papers for Hiashi-san" said Hizashi bowing to the Hokage, he then sees Naruto nods at him. "Good afternoon, Young Uzumaki."

Naruto was brought back by Hizashi's greetings, normally Hyūgas wouldn't bother greet anyone outside their clan apart from the Hokage, and the elders.

"G-Good afternoon" said Naruto, still unsure about Hizashi

"Hmmm, interesting" said a rather suspicious Jūbi

What, what is? Thought Naruto to Jūbi

"I'll tell you later" said Jūbi

"Ah, there you are, Hizashi" said Sarutobi as he gives Hizashi an application paper. "I just hope young Hinata will be fine in the academy."

"Oh I'm sure she'll be fine" said Hizashi chuckling at the Hokage "I may look identical to Hiashi, But I am not like him. The clan segregation is nonsense if you ask me."

"Hai, I still don't believe that Tobirama-sensei approved it" said Sarutobi "I wish I could abolish that law."

"Hokage's word is law and it can't be unmade" said Hizashi shrugging his shoulders.

"If that were true, I wouldn't be doing paperwork" said Sarutobi until he noticed Naruto still in the office. "Is there something else you want, Naruto?"

"No, no I'm fine" said Naruto as he is about to leave.

"I best be off too" said Hizashi as he pockets the papers. "I best return or Hiashi will lose his temper and activate my seal to punish me."

With that, Naruto and Hizashi left the office at the same time, leaving the poor Hokage to deal with the thrice grown paperwork.

"What the…when did it get that big?" said Sarutobi in shock at the immense size of paperwork he must do.

With Naruto

Naruto left the Hokage Tower while with Hizashi Hyūga of the Hyūga Side Branch. Naruto doesn't know much about the segregation of the Hyuugas and normally he doesn't care about it. But what's strange is that Hizashi was not hostile to him like the rest of the Konohites, be them ninja or citizen.

Naruto is now suspicious, only his allies were respectful to him and Hizashi is not one of them.

"So…" said Hizashi, breaking the awkward silence between them while they conveniently walk on the same path. "You're going to the same academy as Hinata-chan, eh?"

"Obviously, there is only one academy" said Naruto with a deadpan expression.

"Yeah, sorry about that" said Hizashi rubbing his head sheepish. "Not use to talking someone outside the clan."

"Well you best not get use it around me." Said Naruto frowning "I'm the most hated boy in this village"

"Oh don't exaggerate, not EVERYONE hates you" said Hizashi

"Give them time, when they discover the truth about me" said Naruto darkly.

"Which one?" said Hizashi "You the truth about the demon inside you, or the fact that you're Yami's champion."

Naruto widens his eyes at this and tackles Hizashi into the back alley and held him down with a kunai on the neck. Hizashi merely chuckles at this with his Byakugan active, meeting with Naruto's Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Ha ha ha, you're just like him." Said Hizashi before poofing into smoke and reappear behind Naruto.

"Who are you?" said Naruto after he rolled back to distance from the Hyūga.

"I am who I am, but with a minor difference" said Hyuuga "But I'll explain later, I have a "mission" to do for Hiashi."

Naruto noticed the sassy attitude from Hizashi when he talks about Hiashi, also Hizashi took off his Hitai-ate off for a moment to wipe his bare forehead.

"Anyway, good luck on the academy" said Hizashi "I'm sure Iruka-sensei will be very supportive with you."

"Ha, doubt it" said Naruto

"Oh, I'm serious" said Hizashi "I know Iruka more than you do."

Naruto is confused by the Side Hyūga's words, but he shook it off and pulls out his application paper. He sighed as he remembered he use to fill up this, and he desperately asked for help with it, which wasn't easy as no one would bother helping a "Demon Brat" progress as a ninja. The only one who somehow helped reluctantly was…

"I might as well go to him, I suppose" said Naruto gritting his teeth. "Let's see if he'll be more supportive, doubt it."

Hyūga Compound

Hizashi returns to the Clan compound, he glances at the Hyūga's at the main branch and tries not to glare maliciously at them incase they sense his killer intent. Especially at Hiashi, his fortunate older twin who for to be born first. Hizashi bites his inner cheek at his misfortune, but he then chuckles inward as he has to remind himself something important.

Stay calm Hizashi, remember you are NOT under their control anymore. Thought Hizashi My dear old friend, may Yami bless you, has freed me from it ages ago.

"Hizashi"

Hizashi turns to see his father, the Hyūga Elder, the very man…or rather a version of the man, who personally placed the Caged Bird Seal on him. Forcing Hizashi to serve as a Side Branch member, Hizashi begrudgingly smiles at the Elder and bows to him.

"Have you got the application form?" said the Elder

"Hai, I am about to deliver it to Hiashi-sama right away."

"Please do" said the Elder sternly "we will not tolerate idleness in this clan"

"Sure…" said Hizashi painfully smiling at the Elder

"And stop smiling, you're still a Hyūga despite only being a Side Branch member." Said the Elder walking away without a second glance.

"Hai" said Hizashi with a snarl and his Byakugan active. But jokes on you, I'm not the same Hizashi. I had the real pleasure of killing my own father, killing you and that fool Hiashi is just a bonus for me once I'm done with this façade.

Hyūga Dojo

Knowing Hiashi, which Hizashi does, the clan patriarch is sparing with his eldest daughter Hinata. Hinata is hesitant as she doesn't want to fight or be a ninja, born a pacifist is an insult to the Hyūga Clan, who has been the oldest and dangerous shinobi clans what rivals the Uchiha.

To Hiashi, Hinata is a disappointment, seeing her hesitation as a sign of weakness.

"Enough, that'll be all" said Hiashi as he immediately dismisses his daughter. He then turns to see Hizashi kneeling down and presenting him the application papers for the ninja academy. "I just hope the shinobi academy would teach you better of begging a ninja."

Hiashi took the papers to fill up.

"You are the next heir of the Hyūga clan, act like it" said Hiashi harshly at Hinata, causing the poor girl to flinch.

"H-Hai, tou-san" said Hinata looking down with sorrow and shame on her face.

Hizashi bites his inner cheek at this, to see his niece being treated like this.

Inexcusable, but don't worry Hinata-chan thought Hizashi giving Hinata a discreet glance of assurance and secretly winks at her.

"Hizashi" said Hiashi to his twin. "It's late for Hinata, take her to her room while I fill this up."

"hai, Hiashi-sama" said Hizashi while he offer his hand to Hinata

"and after that, take this to the academy."

"But isn't the academy closed tonight?" said Hizashi

Hiashi glares at Hizashi and makes a single hand sign, Hizashi knows it and collapses on the floor, clutching his head and screaming.

"AAAGHHH!" screams Hizashi

"Never talk back to me, I gave you an order!" exclaimed Hiashi harshly to his brother. "I am the Clan Patirarch and you are my servant, you will do as I say. Stay the night outside for all I care, but I want you to deliver this once it's filled, got it?!"

"H-Hai!" said Hiashi in pain

"Good" said Hiashi cancelling his handsigh, ending Hizashi's pain. "Now send my daughter to bed."

"Hai" said Hizashi making his leave with Hinata. But what HIzashi and Hinata didn't now is that Hizashi is chuckling silently with a smug grin.

Think you have me under your control? Thought Hizashi as he lifted hi hita-ate slightly to reveal nothing but a bare forehead. I'm no longer a caged bird to forcefully sing for you, Hiashi.

For Hinata to witness that pains her dearly, to see siblings bully another, reminding her of Hanabi who her father favors more than her.

"Don't be concerned, Hinata-chan" said Hizashi smiling at Hinata "I am fine"

"How can you say that, that horrible seal is breaking our family apart." Said Hinata with tears in her eyes.

"The Clan is already broken, I'm afraid" said Hizashi "But I wouldn't worry about it."

"Why?" said Hinata

"You'll see soon enough" said Hizashi winking at his niece as he and reached the bedroom door. "Now get some sleep, the sun is setting."

"Ok, night Jiji" said Hinata as kissed her uncle on the cheek before goinig to bed.

"Good night" said Hizashi before closing the bedroom door. His expression turns cold and closes his eyes.

Calling: Head Remnant

Sir, I might need you in the academy tonight, my idiot brother is sending me to deliver the application for Hinata-san

Alright, I'll be there. But I won't be alone

Er…sure said HIzashi now confused at this, he's only delivering the application once Hiashi is done. Nothing major about it.

"Hizashi, I'm done with the application!" called out Hiashi

"Hai, Hiashi-san" said Hizashi gritting his teeth. Makes me wonder why I'm not born a few seconds early, I'm smarter than that bastard. And I would even treat Hinata-san well and respect her wishes…like her love for Naruto.

"HIZASHI!"

"Hai, I'm coming!" said Hizashi trying not to lose is temper or he might act out in pain to trick his idiot brother again.

Ninja Academy: Evening

Hizashi arrives outside of the academy in no time, waiting by the door is Iruka with someone Hizashi hasn't seen before, not one of the remnants of Ombré. This worries the remnant as he cautiously approaches Iruka and this stranger.

"You got the papers" said Iruka

"hai" said Hizashi presenting the application paper to his commander. "The applications for Hinata Hyuuga."

"Excellent, that fool has no idea what we've got in planned for her" said Iruka "his damn pride just gave her to us."

"Hai, he is a fool" said Hizashi snarling at the mention of his brother. "Anyway, who is he?"

"Oh, how rude of me" said Iruka "Hizashi, say hello to our recruit to our guild, temporary of course until his quest here is done."

"Hello, Hizashi-san. My name is Shirou, Shirou Emiya"

Shirou Emiya bows to Hizashi with respect.

"It is a pleasure to meet the famous uncle of Hinata Hyūga" said Shirou

"Eh?" said Hizashi tilting his head, no one knows about him, his renown was erased back in his original world by the purging light of YangSun. "Iruka, what the hell is going on?"

"It's a long story, but it involves Naruto AND Hinata." Said Iruka with a pleasing smile.

Academy: Morning

Many applicants are approaching to the academy with their application papers, and Naruto is among the crowd. Many familiar faces are in the crowd, but Naruto decides to not get their attention as he just wants to send in his application and leave to continue his quest.

"Thank you for enrolling, next applicant please"

Naruto leans aside from the queue and sees Iruka Umino by a table, taking application papers from the applicants who are enrolling for the academy. Naruto is still unsure about Iruka, his mind is debating to decide on Iruka being a potential ally or another enemy to kill in his potential invasion of Konoha once he and his armies are strong enough.

With Iruka are Mizuki, the bastard that once tricked Naruto into stealing the Sacred Scroll of Sealing from the Hokage Tower. A lie about a secret exam just to give Naruto false hopes of passing. Naruto would love to get a chance on that silver haired bastard, even torture him relentlessly until his very soul is broken, void of any hope. But then Naruto noticed a third next to Iruka, a teenager with auburn hair, golden eyes and dressed in a chūnin uniform.

Who's he, I never saw him before in the academy thought Naruto

"Next" said Iruka dismissing an applicant and next facing Sasuke Uchiha with his sister Izumi, her face is stern and apathetic. "Ah, finally an Uchiha enrolling this year"

"Hai, here you go" said Izumi presenting Iruka the application papers. "All ready for Sasuke"

"Thank you" said Iruka taking Sasuke's papers and the two Uchihas leave the line.

Naruto took a quick but discreet glance at Izumi, wishing that he could have her company once again.

Soon, Naruto, soon thought

Izumi noticed someone staring and saw Naruto who quickly looked away. She couldn't help but chuckle slightly, which Sasuke noticed instantly.

"Onee-chan, what's funny?" said Sasuke

"Nothing, dear brother" said Izumi as she flicked him on the back of the head. "And you should focus on your own business, not on others"

"Hey, that's mean" said Sasuke pouting at his sister's teasing.

Izumi said nothing after that as she and her brother head home.

"Next" said Iruka after taking about 6 applicants afterwards until he faces Naruto. "ah, the troublemaker. "Finally deciding to learn some discipline as a ninja?"

Naruto rolled his eyes at this hastily presents his applications to Iruka

"Here" said Naruto without saying nothing else.

"Thank you" said Iruka "you should know, there will be an opening exam in a few days before you'll start at the scheduled date."

"Huh?" said Naruto "An exam?"

"Hai" said Shirou "It's just been updated yesterday, there's been many applicants wanting to be a ninja but we can only accept those who are capable of learning."

"Sorry, and who are you?" said Naruto to Shirou

"Pass the entrance exams, and you'll get your answer" said Shirou smiling at Naruto

Quest alert: Academy Entrance Exam

"Hold on…are you a…" said Naruto before Shirou puts his finger over his mouth to gesture a hush to Naruto.

"Careful" said Shirou

Naruto raise his brow at Shirou suspiciously but said nothing and walks away.

"Next" said Iruka as he took the next application exam "Thank you for the application…er"

"Saigo" said the man in a Jonin uniform with a dark grey haroi with a single falling leaf on the back. His hair is drooped down with a fringe covering the left side of his face and baggy tired black eyes. "Saigo no Ha, I'm a guardian for the 2 applicants. Julien and Angelica Ichigi."

"You…look familiar, have we met?" said Iruka

"Doubt it, I'm a Gaijin outside of the Shinobi Nations, my home was raided and their parents passed away. We came here to make a living, and Julien insisted to become a ninja while Angelica wanted to join to stay by his side.

"I see, well thank you for applying, you should know about the entrance exams" said Iruka "We got too many and we need to see who is capable to learn here."

"I understand." Said Saigo no Ha bowing to Iruka, while Iruka bows the same. But as their heads are close, Iruka whispers to Saigo, or rather Sasuke Uchiha from the same lost realm Iruka once lived.

"Don't think for a moment that you're safe here" whispers Iruka

"Likewise" said Saigo as he secretly glares at Iruka with his Sharingan. "Ombré will never rise"

"We'll see" said Iruka smirking at his final nemesis before returning to his act. "We'll let you know about the exams, good day.

Saigo nods at this and walks away, Iruka notices Shirou tensed up when the names Julien and Angelica is mentioned.

"Relax, it'll be alright" said Iruka "Let's get back to work, shall we?"

"Hai" said Shirou nodding at Iruka.

At the Hyūga Compound

Hiashi is walking across the compound, looking around and frowning suspiciously as if something is wrong. He then notices Hizashi crossing bay with a wooden crate in his hand.

"Hizashi, you know where Hinata is?" said Hiashi

"I think she is at the Clan Crypt, Hiashi-san" said Hizashi "Paying her respects to her mother."

Hiashi frowns at this

"Well get her out of there, I can't have her distract by meaningless things like grief of the dead." Said Hiashi

"With all due respect, Eva-san did pass away after giving birth to little Hanabi" said Hizashi "Greif is the best way to accept the such tragedy. Surely you miss her too."

"My marriage to Eva was beneficial," said Hiashi with a stern expression, betraying nothing. "She granted me an heir, pity they weren't boys but they will do once I marry them off. Anyway, what is in the box?"

"I was just clearing Eva's old room after 5 years of her passing" said Hizashi "I am about to dispose of it"

"Good, you do that" said Hiashi "And get Hinata out of the Crypt and seal it"

"Hai, HIashi-san" said Hizashi bowing to his brother, but he snarls at him once Hiashi walks away. "Baka"

"What was that?" said Hiashi turning to Hiashi

"Nothing, just clearing my throat. *HACK-AH*" said Hizashi

"Don't get smart at me, consider yourself lucky that you got work to do" said Hiashi narrowing his eyes in a frown. "Now get back to work."

"Hai" said Hizashi bowing once more before Hiashi leaves the area. He waits for the Patriarch to be completely gone and the opens the crate, which a mixture of green and white light beams out. "Now then…to the crypt"
