Strongest Shinobi

The following days were spent having a good talk with Naruto. Apparently Naruto knew clearly that he needed to be nice to girls, but he seems to have found it interesting how the older men reacted to p.o.r.n magazines and he made the technique with them in mind.

It would be a sure fire kill to the men as they all seemed to be vulnerable to the technique. They would all be too distracted to remember why they were chasing him giving Naruto an opening to escape. He just wanted to find a way to get back at all the people who were mean to him and this was a effective way to do it.

Izana decided to ignore Naruto's antics, as long as he didn't used the technique too often. He still needed to have an outlet after all. If people were mean or outright abusive, he wouldn't raise a hand and would probably even help Naruto, from the shadows of course. No need to let them know Naruto might have a helper. Naruto seemed to enjoy it after all.

If they took it too far, Izana wouldn't mind having them talk with his fist. Though he was sure they wouldn't like it one bit.

Naruto laughed and was just happy that he could spend time with Izana again. Naruto, like Sasuke, told him all about his live in the academy. He was still an outcast as most of the other children tended to avoid him.

There were a few though that played with him, those were the children from the major clans, like the Akimichi, The Nara, the Yamanaka and the Aburame.

The girls still avoided him though. There was one praticular girl that wouldn't even talk clearly to him, but she was still really nice to him. Whenever he could thoug, Naruto skipped the lessons as the teacher, a man named Umino Iruka, that only scolded him. He was like all the other villagers and seemed to hate him.

Izana rubbed Naruto on the head as Naruto seemed really bothered by it.

"Well, you've got some friends to play with now. They don't hate you, do they?" Izana said as he tried to cheer up Naruto. Naruto visibly perked up as he told them what kind of games they played.

Naruto nodded, followed by begging eyes from Naruto as he looked at Izana.

Izana had tried to ignore it the last few days, but Naruto didn't forgot the promise Izana made and constantly reminded him about it.

Izana chuckled as he rubbed Naruto's head again.

"Fine. I'll show you something, but know that you won't be able to do it until you reach a certain level of chakra control." Izana said as he Shunshined away from Naruto and was back within a couple of minutes.

In his hand, Izana held a piece of white paper.

"Do you know what this is?" Izana said as he held up the paper.

Naruto shook his head, wondering what Izana was going to do.

"This is chakra induction paper. It will let you know which chakra affinities you have." Izana further explained how it worked and handed Naruto the paper.

He showed his own with another paper to show him how it worked.

Naruto was excited to see his own affinities and did what Izana told him. The paper had a small cut in it.

"Wind affinity. Good." Izana said, handing Naruto some leafs.

"Try it when you have the time, try to cut the leaf with your chakra. Focus on you classes first and when you have time, try to practice." Izana said as he stood up and dusted his pants.

He had spent enough time with Naruto these days and he really needed to find out what was happening in the Uchiha residence. Naruto didn't seem to mind either as he focused his attention on the leafs, giving Izana a small wave when Izana left.

Izana came back to the Uchiha residence and again felt suffocated. The mood in the clan residence was still the same as when he came back, it even felt a bit heavier, as if something bad was going to happen.

Izana tried to find his uncle to ask him what was happening with the Uchiha, but he couldn't find him.

"Ryuujin, do you sense him?" Izana said as he had already scoured through the placed he might've been.

[Not yet. He might be outside the residence.] Ryuujin responded as he didn't sense Fugaku's chakra.

[You could try Shisui or Itachi. Itachi did seem a bit exhausted lately, so maybe he knows.] Ryuujin said.

They could always wait for the evening, in the hope that Fugaku would talk about it, but something told Izana that Fugaku would avoid to answer.

"Itachi it is then." Izana said as he went to search for Itachi.

Itachi was hard to find as he was out most of the time. The only way Izana could look for Itachi was roam around Konoha and sense his chakra. Hopefully, Itachi would be in Konoha and not on a mission.

When Izana had walked through half of Konoha the sky started to darken and the stars appeared in the sky.

"Shall we continue to look or shall we go back, your call Ryuujin." Izana said, attracting the strange gazes of the villagers around him. To them it appeared as if he spoke to himself or someone invisible.

[Let's look a little longer. You can always eat out, it's not like you're a kid. You are already a Genin who is almost a Chuunin, so you can make your own decisions.] Ryuujin said, not really caring if he went back at all. The mood in the Uchiha manor was so heavy that even Ryuujin wanted to stay away longer.

"Alright, then let's look a little longer." Izana said as he searched near the training ground and the forest near the village. It was a place where Itachi and Shisui often trained, so he might be there.

The thing that Izana didn't expect to happen upon was a fleeing Shisui who was chased by unknown shinobi wearing masks.

"Ryuujin, where did he go?!" Izana said as he was alarmed by the situation. He even saw Shisui bleeding from one of his eyes. That couldn't be good.

[The Naka River.] Ryuujin said as he had a bad premonition when he also sensed Itachi near it.

[Hurry, Izana. I fear something bad might happen.] Ryuujin said with urgency as he sped Izana on. He was a tad too late as they saw Shisui jump backwards down the cliff.

Without a thought, Izana transformed into full tailed beast mode and sped forward just above the water. Shisui fell at a fast pace and rushed at an increasing pace towards the violent currents.

Ryuujin sped up even faster, almost becoming a blur as he managed to catch Shisui with his mouth. Shisui was firmly hold as Ryuujin closed his mouth to protect him from the wind. Shisui himself seemed to notice his particular situation but didn't move.

[Izana, we need to find somewhere safe. Konoha is not safe for Shisui.] Ryuujin said.

[Agreed, we need to hide him somewhere.] Izana responded as he could taste Shisui's blood in his mouth. There was a slight acidic taste to it unlike how blood was supposed taste.

[Ryuujin, could he possibly be...]

[Yes, he's poisoned. It's time for you to show how much of my Yang release you've mastered.] Ryuujin said gravely as they flew even farther away, towards the Valley of the End, as there was supposed to be a small hideout made by Jiraiya in case of emergencies.
