5 Chapter 5- Konohagakure

It has been a week since the Grand Elder and other Council Member decided to send me to Konohagakure for training. It is a logical thing to do if considered properly; currently 3rd Shinobi War was at its peak stage. With him being an Uzumaki entering Konohagakure won't cause many problems and with the group of Uzumaki and Grand Elder not wanting to them to become know, sending him as a survivor was a good play. And if he was to withdraw they can just spread the fake news of his death. Kushina Uzumaki was already told of the plan with her being a Royal Uzumaki Blood; she was tasked to take care of him.

The 200+ Survivor of Uzumaki decided to live in darkness, making them unknown to the world. The reason being, they will be killed by others if they show their face in public, Konoha was their ally but they didn't help them when they were going to be destroyed so they didn't fully trust the Konoha. Though Konoha was fighting with other Hidden Village and not being able to join them by sending reinforcement, the reason for them participation in the 3rd Great War was for Konoha support, so their anger was not unjustified.

They wanted Lycan to go to Konoha because though they could train him, many scrolls and Jutsu were lost. Though they secured 80% of the Jutsu the 20% Jutsu they lost was not a joke. They wanted Lycan to learn in Konoha for a few years, before training him in their Clan Jutsu. They didn't want to admit it but Konoha Jutsu were better suited for Lycan than there, and with him not having enough cultivation for training in Fuinjutsu (Sealing Arts) they decided to give Kushina the Work of training this child.

She was one of the strongest among the surviving Uzumaki Clan member, who was skilled in chakra manipulation, Sealing Arts, Taijutsu, and Healing Arts. With all these reason not sending him to Kushina for Six years was already a Tough decision.

As Lycan was thinking about information about the world and Konoha, he heard Ben (Ai) Voice.

[Beep] [Task 2 is completed]

Lycan said "How's the progress, can my body grow stronger by repeatedly breaking and regenerating method."

What Lycan tasked Ben wasn't about any knowledge but a pure Masochist technique regarding breaking his body. Since he had obtained an unbelievable Healing power he tasked Ben to check his body if he could grow stronger by hurting himself. The Process of Breaking and Regenerating can make a bone or muscle stronger, this he had learned previously but was it true or false was the question. So his task 2 for Ben was finding this.

Ben replied [With Host data for last 2 months, Host hypothesis of Breaking and Regenerating is proven to be correct]

[There may be some problem breaking and Regenerating process with a normal human body but with Host Body and Vitality, There is only 0.1% chance of having any abnormality during the process.]

[There is 99.99% chance of host body being stronger than last time by .2% every time the process happens in any part of the body, but important part like Brain or Heart only have 75.3% chance of success.]

Looking at the Data he said "As my Vitality increases can the Abnormality decrease or end."

[Negative] [More Data Required]

After seeing his data he was not sure of his path. He asked "What the progress of Task 1."

[Task is 42% completed. Need more time, data and Analysis]

Seeing all his data he needs currently he started focus on his other skills. The Ai can help him with his knowledge in how strong he is which a huge advantage to him. He then asked "Skills Status"

Uzumaki Taijutsu – (C-)

Chakra Manipulation – (D-)

Chakra Reserve – (E+)

Throwing Arts (Shuriken, Kunai, Senbon) – (C)

Body Control – (C-)

Looking at this he nods his head, this status page gives his data on his skills level. There were categorized in "F, E, D, C, B, A" and higher the number stronger the person data. He didn't know how high his mastery was but he learned simple things as how the system worked.

E was categorized as Beginner. If this skill was categorized in Data then Genin would be a defining feature for it.

D was categorized as Trained. If this skill was categorized in Data then Chunin would be a defining feature for it.

C was categorized as Skilled. If this skill was categorized in Data then Weak or New Jounin would be a defining feature for it.

B was categorized as Advanced. If this skill was categorized in Data then Elite Jounin or Weaker Kage would be a defining feature for it.

A was categorized as Mastery. If this skill was categorized in Data then Elite Kage would be a defining feature for it.

With all things short out, he was waiting for people to pick him up. Today he would be send to Konoha for training. As he waited for a few minutes he heard footsteps coming toward his room. The footsteps stopped near his door and a voice was heard.

"Young Master if you're ready you are to go downstairs, the preparation for your travel is done."

Hearing this Voice He replied "I'll be there in a minute."

As he was summoned he looked for everything he needed checking if he had forgotten something. After being sure he looked at the mirror. The Boy in the reflection was wearing a Black Kimono with Wave like lines of silk patter all over his dress. He had Long and beautiful red hair which reached his Shoulder. He had tied them in a pony tail like style. He had sharp eyes with golden pupil and looked like an eagle eye for the person who saw it for the first time. He had a short height of around 3 feet tall; though he still had a bit child like structure if looked closely, he would be mistaken for a guy with low height. For a Child of six year old he could be said to be a handsome guy and anyone could tell in the future he will have lines of girls flooding him for his attention.

Carrying his bag he arrived downstairs in his hall, there all the 200+ member of Uzumaki clan were waiting. When he arrived they all looked at him with a hint of worship and expectation.

The Grand Elder Mark and current leader of the Refugee was in the front of the group. Looking at him he said "Lycan you're our clan future, we have done everything possible to make you stronger, though you faced many difficulty it was all for your own good. Today we are sending you to Konoha to learn their ways and grow stronger. This guy here is Bickey who will look after you in Konoha." He said as he pointed his hands toward a Guy with short Red hair with Height of around 6 feet tall. This Guy had half his face covered with a mask like Kakashi, and had Red eyes that looked like it was made of blood.

Mark continued "Bickey will look after you as you're body guard for few years and will also train you Ninjutsu which you wanted to train for past few years. I only hope you can grow stronger and lead our clan to their peak once more. And for the most important thing, your fake story is a child who is an orphan, you were later found by your uncle (Bickey) who is currently protecting you and have decided to join Konoha for protection due to war. That's your cover story, you don't have family and you don't know we Uzumaki Refugee survive. You're intelligence is over the chart for your age so I don't have to mention why this cover story is created. So we all wish you luck." After a long speech Mark gave Lycan a hug.

After Mark, his parents Kuzan Uzumaki and Maya Uzumaki arrived in front of him. Maya grabbed him and started to cry as she said "Son I know it was difficult for you all this years and it will continue for some time but you're our clan hope so I really hope you can forgive us. We haven't given you enough love we should at your age. Please be safe and I will always love you."

His father didn't say anything he just stayed there looking at him with eyes filled with love. When Maya was done with crying he said "Remember you are my son, my flesh and blood. No matter what happens I'll always love you." Saying this he put his hand on my head.

After a lot of drama and crying as I was departing for Konoha with Bickey, all the 200+ Member of Uzumaki said in Union "Stay safe and we'll always love you."

At that time Lycan looked at his face and saw few drops of tear floating out of his eye unconsciously. He could understand what cause this, he wanted warmth of a family for many years and with their words he finally fueled their feeling for him causing the tears.

Bickey looked at the scene in a detached way, when Lycan appeared in front of him he asked "Are you ready?"

Lycan looked at him and said "Yes"

Bickey and Lycan then proceeded to walk toward the end of the cave. When they arrived there Bickey created few Hand signs and created an opening in the ground. When they got out, they were in a cave. After they walked out of the cave, they appeared in middle of a forest with small Rocky Mountains with the small cave in one of the nook from which they surfaced. After looking around to see any observer or scout, Bickey looked at him and said "We have to move and fast." With my nod we both started to run toward the forest. After an hour of running, Bickey stopped us near a bush. When I looked inside there was a cave nicely hidden perfectly by the tree and bush, which without knowing its existence beforehand a person needs to have a Byakugan or other similar technique to find it.

After arriving in the Cave, Bickey started creating numerous seals and when he was done he said "Stand in the circle, I am going to teleport us both to the ground near Konoha." After saying this he started to make many hand sighs. After that Bickey teleported both of us to a ground filled with trees and a huge lake.

After a few minutes he said "We have arrived in Land of Fire, this is a place around 30 minutes away from Konoha. So let's move, we don't want to be in crossfire between ninjas especially during the war."

After that we started to move. After half an hour we saw a huge wall in front of our path. Looking around we saw a gate in a right side of our destination.

When we arrived in front of the gate, 2 Ninja wearing Konoha Symbol in their Forehead arrived in front of us.

"What's your purpose for arriving in Konoha?" said the 1st ninja with a beard. His tone was wary, and considering the 3rd War was currently happening it wasn't a surprise.

Bickey replied with a neutral tone "We're survivor of Uzumaki Clan; we would like you to report to your Hokage of our arrival."

They were first shocked and after processing the information they said "Wait for a few minutes, I will provide you're news to Hokage as soon as I can."

Saying this, the other Ninja ran away with the 1st Ninja keeping an eye for us. After waiting for 10 Minutes the Guy returned. He looked at us and said "Hokage is requesting for you audience."

With a nod from me, both Bickey and I started running toward the Hokage Tower in the middle of the village. An Anbu also followed us all the way towards our destination.

When we arrived in the tower, a female came towards us and said "Please follow me."

With that we followed the women through the hall we arrived before a hall. She turned toward us and said "Please go inside."

With that Bickey and I entered the room. The room wasn't anything like I expected of the leader of the Village. There were racks and scrolls all around the room, and there was a mountain load of paper piled up in a table. There an Old guy was sitting with a pipe of tobacco in his mouth with him, looking at the paper and signing or discarding paper with a tired expressing. When we arrived there he looked at us and said "Good Day meeting you guys, I was really happy to hear that few surviving members of Uzumaki clan arrived here. There were not many people who survived the war and those who did most went to hiding."

Bickey looked at him and said "Konoha was our ally in the past, so we arriving in this village is what we should do."

3rd Hokage Looked at him and said "Oh I am sorry, my emotion took over I have yet to ask for your introduction."

Bickey looked at Hokage and said "I am Bickey Uzumaki, and this is my nephew Lycan Uzumaki. With the War going on it was really difficult to find a safe place so we arrived a bit late."

Saying this he looked at Hokage, Hokage also looked at Bickey and said "I know what happened to Uzumaki was a really sad thing, and I really wished we had been able to help you guys. I won't make any excuses, but you are a citizen of our Konoha and if you ever find any members of your clan then you can bring them in our village and create a new clan like Hyuga or Uchiha clan in Konoha. "

Saying this war cry of someone started to appear in the street downstairs as they looked form the window of Hokage office. Hokage looked at them and said "It looks like Kushina also arrived; I had called her after receiving the new of your arrival. And you're already a Konoha citizen and the Kid over there can join Ninja Academy or Any faculty of our village if he wants. You have my full support."

As Sarutobi was talking a red figure kicked the door and arrived in the office. When they looked at the person who arrived, Lycan could already see that she was an Uzumaki. She had Long Red Hair that reached her waist, blue eyes and was wearing a standard Shinobi uniform of Konoha.

When they saw her she also saw them, she looked at Bickey and Lycan as her eye began to tear up. She jumped and caught Lycan in her grip, and started to cry muttering "I have found you, I finally get to see my family."

As Kushina was crying with Lycan in her arms, a guy with yellow hair in the same dress as Kushina appeared in the office. He looked at Kushina and smiled, and shook his head.

After 5 minutes of crying Kushina looked at Lycan who was still there and finally calmed down. She looked at Bickey and said "Do we know each other, I feel like I know you?"

"It's been Eleven years Kushina, it's me Bickey." The moment the words were spoken she dived into him, giving him a bone crushing hug.

After a few minute Bickey said "I think you should let go now, or your boyfriend will kill me if you continue to do this." He said in an amused fashion.

After which Kushina let go of him with a bright red face. Then looked at him and said "You have the nerve to teach me, it seems like not meeting you for some time have created a huge confidence to you. Should I show you how strong I am like the old times."

Bickey looked at her and said "Ok Ok I am sorry. You really haven't changed much from the past I seen you."

Kushina looked at him and said "You're also the same, hard on the outside soft in the inside. Huff, I really missed you guy, not know who was alive and who was dead, and who is this champ here."

"He is your friend son, do you remember Kuzan he married a girl and gave birth to him after the war, and sadly his parent died 2 years after his birth that. I found him in a village and it wasn't hard to identify him with his father bracelets in his hand along with our Clan Hair. I then trained him and after six months we arrived here."(The Lie they though before hand, Kushina Knows the situation) Bickey said the already practiced story regarding Lycan origin.

After telling Lycan history he asked her "Aren't you going to introduced you're boyfriend to me?"

Blushing Red, Kushina looked at him and said "Minato this guy here is my 2nd Uncle son Bickey, but I have cared him no less than my own brother. This little guy there is my nephew or something, His father was my friend, my 4th Uncle's Grandson to be exact if the bloodline is measured."

After that she pointed to Minato and said "He is Minato Namikaze, my close friend. I have studied with him for the last 8 years."

Bickey sneered and said "You really don't have the guts don't you. If someone speaks ill of you, you're anger face will kill them but even a child can tell of you guys relationship you still try to hide it. You have my condolence brother." Saying this he looked at Minato with eyes with pity. Both Kushina and Minato blushed red by Bickey statement.

As for Kushina it was hard to say her redness was from blush or anger after a moment she roared "Damn it Bastard, you're making joke of your sister, you're dead."

With the outburst Kushina hair divided in 9 sides like a Kyubi and started chasing Bickey, with him running away or dodging.

From start to end Lycan didn't say anything. Minato looked at the child they left alone and said "Let's go I'll show you your new home. Saying this he and Lycan went toward an apartment near Kushina house."
