A Naruto Fan-Fic

Chapter 25 - 25!

"How's the situation inside the clan, Itachi," Shisui asked.

"I am afraid it is not good. Although I have been talking less and less with our father, he would often mention to me how the Uchiha will rise to the top and reclaim our glory. He must be planning on making a move. If this goes on..." Itachi did not need to continue anymore. The three can easily tell what would happen next.

In the near future, the Uchiha Clan might finally erupt and b.a.r.e their hidden fangs.

The three may be young, but they could easily put a.d.u.l.ts to shame. Strength, intellect and creativity, these three Uchiha Brothers got it all. Talent? That is something they did not lack at all.

"I see. I have been hearing some things, and I can tell that a storm is brewing. Sigh... Don't worry, it would probably take some years before it happens, but it would be best if it doesn't happen at all." Shisui smiled. As an elite Jounin, he would often hear his comrades talk about the Uchiha Clan behind his back. And the attack of the Kyuubi can't be avoided. It made him feel bitter.

"But I have been feeling eyes staring at our every movement since a couple of years ago. Ever since Ken started bringing Naruto on out compound, I can feel them. The Hokage and the elders do not really trust our clan." Itachi said.

Just because of what happed years ago, the Uchiha is being easily accused. Distrust is slowly but surely forming between Konoha and the Uchiha Clan. After all, Uchiha Madara was the one who started this Kyuubi manipulation trend among the Uchiha.

"Indeed. I can vaguely feel that something is wrong with one of my squad members. I am also being monitored. I don't know if it is the Hokage or Danzo who planted the spy on my squad, but they certainly don't trust us." Shisui agreed.

"You two worry too much. If worst comes to worst, we can just subdue them. Three years! In three years, I am confident that I can master my 4th Restrictive Gate. If you keep up your current speed, then you should also be able to open your 3rd Restrictive Gate. At that time, not many people should be a match for us." Ken declared, which surprised the two.

Of course, he had been feeling eyes stare at them for the past couple of years. To be more precise, after the Kyuubi attack. But what can they do? The Uchiha Clan is still one of the fangs of Konoha, the Council won't dare to do anything too outrageous other than keeping watchful eyes.

"That's true."

The three went silent. It took a full 2 minutes before Shisui finally opened his mouth.

"Sigh... I know we all have secrets, but, how do I say this... Why don't we all just come clean?!"

"Huh?"

"What?"

"What I am saying is, since we all are in this together, why don't we just reveal our secrets! For a long time, I have been dying to know who you really are, Ken. This way, we can also know how we will operate." Scratching the back of his head, Shisui proposed the idea.

However, Ken flinched. This was the topic he wanted to avoid the most. Thoughts ran through his head, and he came to a conclusion almost immediately.

"Haha, I guess it can not be helped." As calm as he could be, Ken agreed with a light chuckle. Ken believed that as long as he does not tell them about Glutton, then it should be alright.

"I also agree." Itachi nodded.

"I will go first then!" Shishi stood up.

"As you already know, I was a Genin during the Third Great Shinobi World War. Back then, I was teamed with my best friend. The Village was running out of personnel and manpower! So, we went to war! Heh!" Beginning the story, let out a self-deprecating sneer.

"Mission after mission, we completed them without fail. We delivered and escorted supplies for our allies on the battlefield. During that time, the war was reaching its peak and the enemy was also getting desperate. The higher-ups started to send children like us to fight their wars. To put it simply, it was hell!

"We couldn't even get a blink of rest and the stress was catching up to us. With my team, we fought small battles and won them. We ran if we knew we would lose, and fought back with our lives on the line. Fortunately for me, I had my Sharingan and my teammates were very powerful."

"The last weeks of the war was especially taxing. During that time, large scale battles started to occur. And our team and two other teams were tasked to escort the supply. However, we did not expect that we would get ambushed.

"The enemies got us surrounded, intending to burn our supplies. Thankfully, we were not outnumbered and we fought back. In the end, the enemies retreated. However, we moved forward without my best friend. And... this is what he left behind..." At this point, Shisui was already in tears, his calm and confident bravado was gone. They could feel a strong sense of self-blame coming from Shisui. Even Ken did not need to look that Negative Energy increased around Shisui.

Suddenly, under the shocked gazes of Ken and Itachi, Shisui's pupils turned red and the three tomoes connected with each other to form a four edged pinwheel pattern.

"!!"

"The Mangekyou?!" Itachi exclaimed.

"Yeah!" Shisui blinked, deactivating his Mangekyou Sharingan. "My Mangekyou has a strong, if not the strongest Genjutsu. It is called Kotoamatsukami. I can cast them in both of my eyes. However, each time I cast it, it needs a decade before I can use it again. But after unlocking my First Restrictive Gate, I felt like the cooldown can decrease.

"It should have the power to control anyone under my sight without them even knowing that they are under my Genjutsu, I can probably control more or less a hundred people. If we really can't do anything about a possible rebellion, then I can use my Kotoamatsukami to control Lord Fugaku or possibly everyone, even if you went against it!" With a determined expression, Shisui declared.

"Oh? A powerful Genjutsu, huh. Wait, can't we just use it to control the Hokage and the three elders? You know, and we can be the leaders?" Ken proposed.

"I thought about it, actually. However, it still won't end the people's distrust against our clan. There are numerous people who basically hate the Uchiha's to death. Even if Hokage tries to convince the people otherwise, it won't be easy and people will start to notice. We will also be unable to quell the anger of the clan easily, now that it has acc.u.mulated. In the end, we will have to wait and observe before taking action." Shisui explained. He had already understood many points and studied every angle.

"If you say so. Since that's the case, I leave the planning to the two of you. I don't really understand how general people's thoughts work. Well, I guess it's time for me to tell you the truth!" Itachi and Shisui tensed up.

Finally!

"To put it simply, I... am a person from another world!" Ken curled his lips. Their reaction satisfied him.

"Nani?!" Both exclaimed with a single expression, shock!

"As I said, I reincarnated to this world after death. In my previous life, I was one of the best assassins in that world. However, unlike here, we can not really use chakra..." Ken started to tell about his story. However, he made sure to leave out anything related to Glutton.

Of course, Ken also revised it here and there. Telling them that the Nine Restrictive Gates was a technique he stole in his clan leaving him to be hunted and killed by the Itoi Clan.

It took Ken nearly an hour to narrate about his life. He also enjoyed the variety of expressions from the two.

"There you get it, fascinating, isn't it?" Ken smiled. "Also, since I am technically older than you, you should start treating me as the older brother!"

"No way!" Itachi.

"Okay... In your dreams!" Shisui.

"Tsk." Ken.

"That explains everything." Itachi sighed. However, he still accepted the reality and let out a relieved smile. "Don't worry, LITTLE BRO, we will surely keep this a secret."

"Right, LITTLE BRO, we will have to keep it a secret!" Shisui said with a cunning smile.

"Tss! Just shut up if you don't want to get beaten!" Ken sneered but eventually also let out a smile. He was satisfied and relieved by their reaction.

"You two already know everything about me, I don't really need to tell you anything. But, I feel really at ease now that I heard you talk about you." Itachi.

"Me too!" Shisui.

"Since everything is settled, I think I am already prepared enough to open the Second Restrictive Gate. Since you're free in these two days, you should come and watch me tomorrow and get some idea's about it." Ken expressed.

"I see. Then you can just wait for me at your house."

"Alright." Itachi agreed. "Let's go home now and rest early."

"By the way, how are you doing with your teammates? Your professor is quite famous within the ANBU, I heard he was asked by the Hokage for 4 consecutive years to lead a team but was declined because the students were lacking. Looks like your other teammates are not that bad?" Shisui.

"Yeah. They are quite good. Our squad leader is also strong. I have never seen him use his Byakugan but I can feel that just like Maito Guy, I am no match against him regarding Taijutsu. Just who is he?" Ken asked. It was shocking that someone powerful was never known by people.

"Hyuuga Kyo, the Team Leader of the number 1 ranked ANBU Squad. They are the most powerful ANBU Team under the Hokage. At least that is what I know." Shisui.

"He's that amazing?" Itachi.

"ANBU, huh." 'So that explains the dense amount of Negative Energy around him!'

"Yeah, pretty shady people."

"Heh, aren't you one of them?" Ken sneered.

"That's true."

As they went home, the three made small talks and some jokes with each other.

...

Two months before Ken became a Genin, he already mastered the First Restrictive Gate. At that time, he judged that Itachi and Shisui's Chakra reserves were already enough, so he finally taught them the method of unlocking the Gates.

Ken did not think that they would take a full week to finally get used to manipulating their Chakra Continuously for over a hundred cycles. So he now knew the benefits of his large amount of White Chakra.

Finally, after three months, Shisui reached 55 percent, while Itachi reached 50.

This was his advantage, a grown-up body. So Shisui was able to adapt faster.

As of now, Ken already had a month of experience as a Genin. This time, Ken needed to personally join the team on the missions instead of sending a Shadow Clone. It was extremely boring, and the so-called missions were ludicrous such as cleaning someone's backyard and finding someone's lost pet.

Ken understood that this was just a way to make the teamwork of the team better. In the end, he had to bear with it.

His powers also increased these past eight months.

Ken already mastered his Sharingan, however, progress on his Energy control was extremely slow. Still, Ken could already last 15 minutes using his Invincible Mode.

He had already concealed his real ability. He rarely used his Chakra derived techniques and instead used his Natural Energy which was 40 percent weaker. It concealed his true power tremendously but it was still enough to get him called a monstrous genius.

Because of his promotion to Genin, Ken also could not find time to meet Naruto and Hibiki. He could only encourage them to continue working hard and become a Genin as fast as possible.

...

Please help! I need some ideas on what to write next. Can you please suggest some missions our MC can take, At least C Rank and B Rank. Of it should also match the current timeline.

Thank you!
