3 Chapter 3: Rikudo Sennin, Yang Power & Sword and Further Growth

## Previously ##

Senshi, who was shockingly still standing, stumbled backward and shouted in surprise from the sudden rush of memories in his brain, righted himself and gasped while pointing toward the old man, "You're... Ha-hagoromo O-otsutsuki?" Hagoromo then replied, "Indeed I am, Uchiha Senshi.

## Now ##

Senshi said in shock, "You're THE Hagoromo Otsutsuki!? The sage of the Six Paths!?" Hagoromo then nodded, then Senshi asked while bowing, "Hagoromo-sama, how and why are you here, if I'm not so bold to ask?" Hagoromo answered, "As to how I am here, you are my reincarnate." Senshi asked confused, "Reincarnate? Me? What do you mean by that, Hagoromo-sama?" Hagoromo began to explain, "You are my descendant, who will once again reteach the true purpose of chakra and who will, in the future, help the reincarnate of my son, Ashura, bring peace to the world." Senshi immediately asked, "Um, what?" Hagoromo said, "I guess I will start with the tale of my two sons, Indra and Ashura. After me and my brother sealed our mother away, which you saw in the vision I showed you, I wandered the world and shared chakra to everyone, teaching them to bond with each other through Ninshu. I then had two sons." Senshi said, "You mean Indra and Ashura, right?" Hagoromo said, "Yes. Indra was the prodigy while Ashura seemed to lag behind. Indra and Ashura cared for each other deeply. Indra was really the one who created ninjutsu, not me. Indra however, soon grew cold and unloving. Why this happened to him, I do not know. When I chose Ashura as my successor, Indra fought him for the position. With my help, Ashura won, but when I was on my deathbed, Indra promised me that he would eventually destroy Ninshu. Their feud is never-ending. Until one of them lets the other win, or dies by their hand, they will endlessly reincarnate to finish their battle. Do you understand now?" Senshi nodded, then asked, "So why are you here?" Hagoromo replied, "I am here to bestow upon you a part of my power." Hagoromo then showed Senshi the white circle on his right palm. Senshi said, "What is that!? It looks like the thing your brother had in my vision." Hagoromo said, "This is one of my powers, called the Yang Power. It grants the wielder greater vitality, a longer lifespan, and immense regeneration. When I say immense, it means you take a sword to the chest and keep fighting. However, this does not mean you are completely invincible, as Otsutsuki, Six Paths, Sage and Yin-Yang chakra can hurt you and will take longer to heal. And, if you are out of chakra, you will no longer have regeneration. Those are the drawbacks. So, do you accept this power?" Senshi said, "I do, in order to protect the world." Hagoromo then held Senshi's right palm, and placed his own right palm on Senshi's. A sizzling sound was heard, then Hagoromo released his palm. Senshi looked at it, then saw the white circle of the Yang Power. Hagoromo then pulled out and offered a single-edged black-bladed katana with its red, decorated sheath to Senshi. He said, "Take this too. This was the sword I used to fight the Juubi. As my descendant, it is now yours. You will be able to always summon it back to you. Use it wisely." Senshi took the sword and Hagoromo said, "When you unlock your true power, I will talk to you again. Goodbye." Hagoromo burst into light.

Senshi woke up, wondering if it was a dream or not. He looked to his right palm, which still had the white circle. He thought, "Yup, that was not a dream." He ate breakfast saying good morning to his family. He decided to keep his newfound power a secret, and he began training further, honing his senses to the point that he could win a spar against his father, while blindfolded. He was strong enough to break stone and crack bones with a punch, and fast enough that he practically disappears. He was pushing himself past his limits so that, one day, he could protect the reincarnation of Ashura who would bring peace to the world.

## 3 Years Later ##

Senshi had intensely trained throughout these past 3 years. He is now 3 feet 11 inches tall, weighing 43 pounds with a lean but slightly muscular body. A lot of things had happened over the last 3 years. At 4, he had awakened his elemental kekkei genkai, which was Shakuton, or Scorch Style. With his new sword, he had completely mastered the art of kenjutsu. At age 5, he had learned how to open 3 of the 8 Inner Gates during his Goken (Strong Fist) training, which he could use for a prolonged period of time due to his Yang Power. He had also made new Lightning and Wind Style jutsu, which are Raiton: Kaminari no Chita or Lightning Cheetah and Futon: Naifu no Mure or Flock of Knives. He had also bonded with his brother, Kenji and helped him grow. While his growth wasn't as rapid as Senshi's, he had still grown as a remarkable pace, having started walking and talking at 11 months and reading and running at a year and 2 months. Now we see him walking to the Academy for his first day. He is wearing black pants, a white shirt and a blue jacket with the Uchiha crest on the shoulders and the kanji for six on its back, along with sandals. As he arrived and sat down, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that people were staring at him. The reason for this was that practically the whole of Konoha had heard about Uchiha Senshi, prodigy of the Uchiha Clan. Senshi just simply ignored the stares and waited for the Academy teacher. When the teacher finally came in, everyone snapped to attention. Everyone followed the teacher outside, introduced themselves, and then the teacher said, "Alright everyone, it's time to start the spars between each of you." So the students grouped together, with Senshi staying at the back as to not attract attention. Once they calmed down, the teacher announced, "Alright, the first spar will be.. Hatake Kakashi vs. Uchiha Senshi!"

Senshi stepped forward and faced the boy named Kakashi, who was 4 years old. He was a young boy with spiky silver hair oriented to his left-side, dark grey eyes, a mask covering most of his lower face, and a relaxed, heavy-lidded expression. Senshi said, "So you're the son of the White Fang?" The audience tensed as the two prodigies stared at each other. Kakashi simply said, "Yes, so I am not going to lose." Senshi replied, "Remember, talk is cheap. The answer lies in the heart of battle." They both formed the Seal of Confrontation (half ram seal), then the teacher said, "Hajime!"
