Sarutobi Konohamaru: The altered legacy of The third Hokage.

"No!!.. Leave me alone... No!!! Don't come closer!!!"

A young boy of around 9 year-old said as he was moved constantly on his bed from left to right and completely drenched in sweat. He was having some kind of nightmare.The boy was Sarutobi Konohamaru, the grandson of the late Third Hokage of Konoha, Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen who just passed away two days ago.

"NNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Konohamaru woke up in a jolt with drops of sweat flying in the air from his short spiky brown hair. His blue eyes were very calm contrasting with his actions a few minutes ago. He moved his head from left to right to observe the room and got up from his bed and exited his room.

A few seconds later, he was in the bathroom of the huge house in which he live and stared at himself attentively in a mirror.

"Short, spiky brown hair... blue eyes... Small chip in the teeth... This body belonged to what some people would call a cute boy... This can be useful later on."

Then, Konohamaru stared at his hands as he repeatedly closed and opened his hands very rapidly. Then he closed his eyes for a few seconds, inhaled deeply and exhaled while opening his eyes.

"Not bad at all... No, this body is better that what an old ghost like me could wish of... It has a lot of untapped potentials and it still developing... Also the previous owner has done some training in both physically and spiritually... He would have at least been a greater ninja than me in my previous life...

To think that the technique of delayed soul possession that I devised before my death would finally be successful after many failed attempts... It was a good technique the only problems are the conditions for it to activate, if not for those conditions maybe I would have been immortal and have came back earlier. But I can't be too picky, l'm thankful enough that I'm back after god knows how much decades of roam the Earth as a mindless wandering soul as a side effect of the technique...

On top of that from the informations still vivid in the brain of this kid, I'm currently Sarutobi Konohamaru, the grandson of the late Third Hokage of the hidden Village founded by those two monsters... To think that those two monsters who'd fought again after obtaining peace... Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama were fools, but the strongest one I must admit.

So, I'm back after about five decades and many things sure have change... The Uchiha and Senju clans both have been annihilated with only two and one survivor respectively... hahahaha... That's ironic to think that the two strongest shinobi clan that stopped the warring state era ended like this...

The life sure is tricky... Anyway, I should get use to this body and assimilate its memories. Then, master the way of the ninja to become finally a being of the caliber of Hashirama and Madara. So, as of today onwards Kagemori Shinji is no more, I'm Sarutobi Konohamaru of Konoha and the grandson of Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen."

Konohamaru said as he smirked at himself as he looked at his reflection in the mirror.

Two years later

"Konohamaru!!!! Where are you!!! Konohamaru!!!"

A group of three individuals shouted from the top of their lungs in unison in the middle of a clearing. It was team Ebisu which Konohamaru was part of.

The team consisted of Konohamaru, Ise Idon, Kazamatsuri Moegi and Ebisu. Ebisu is the leader of the team and a special jounin specialised in training elite ninja. He wore the forehead protector of Konoha like a bandana, sunglasses with dark round lenses and the standard outfit of Konoha's shinobi. Ise Udon was genin of the same age as Konohamaru, with brown hair and black eyes.

He wore a black top, blue pants with regular shinobi sandals and a forehead protector of Konoha. Kazamatsuri Moegi is the only girl of team and had orange hair tied up, with red elastics, into two very large pigtails. Her outfit were Konohagakure forehead protector, a sleeveless purple vest over a violet t-shirt and a layered skirt with mid thigh boots.

They all had expression of fear and anxiety mixed together on their faces.

"Where can he be for God's Sake? Just when we finished our first rank mission outside of the village, damn it!!! Udon! Moegi! let's disperse and look for Konohamaru.

Udon, you go to the East and you, Moegi, go to the West. We will meet again here in 6 hours, if we can't find him... Dismiss!!!"

At Ebisu's words, All the three of them moved in their respective directions. Quickly they disappeared in the dense forest and silence once again prevailed in the clearing.

A few hundreds meters away from the clearing

Inside of a cave, Konohamaru stood in front of an enormous white snake of several hundreds of meters long with a calm and collected demeanour. He was completely different from how he looked two years ago both in terms of presence and appearance. Konohamaru had now jaw-length bang on both side of his face and wore a high-collar, greenish jackets with symbol of the Sarutobi clan on the back.

He also wore a long black pants with a pair of black ninja sandals, a blue scarf around his jacket's collar and Konoha forehead protector.

"Venerable White Snake Sage... I, Sarutobi Konohamaru, am here in front of you to request your guidance to right to form a contract with the snakes of the Ryuuchi Cave and to learn the sage art of the snakes."

The White Snake Sage sat on her sacred seat with her body wrapped in thick coil around it, eyed Konoha as silent before speaking.

"Kid... You have already gain the right for forming a contract with us and I think that you already know it... As for learning our sage art, it all depends on whether you survive or not... Tagitsuhime bring the contract scroll, please."

Without wasting any seconds, a beautiful woman with fair skin and dark hair entered the room with a huge in her hands. She wore a long, loose-fitting white and red robe as well as a longer red dress beneath that, along with a golden tiara and a necklace with three red tomoe. She placed the scroll in front of Konohamaru and went back to where he came.

"Kid... Open that scroll, write your name and put your fingerprints too with your blood... This will be enough for you to form a contract with us, the snakes of the Ryuuchi Cave."

Konohamaru without wasting time quickly did as he was ordered too and closed the huge scroll once again.

"What's next, White Snake Sage ...."

Konohamaru asked as he stared at the White Snake Sage who moved closer to him.

"Next you survive!!!"

The White Snake Sage said as she bite Konohamaru on his left shoulder with one he fang in jolt and let go of him. Konohamaru's body shoke violent, and he felt on his knees and hands, on the ground as soon as the White Snake Sage let go of him.

'I can feel a new type of energy in my body that definitely natural energy, it's huge and it keeps on rushing inside my body. If I can control it, I will definitely die for sure... I must meditate.'

Konohamaru thought as he tried to move his body with all his strength while his body started to lose its colour.

Konohamaru managed to sit down in his mediation position, after battling with his own body for a few seconds and closed his eyes. The White Snake Sage looked at him with a smirk and started to smoke using her smoking pipe.

'Most of those that came to me in order to learn sage art, either dead or couldn't learn it at all... Let's see what you are made of, kid.'

'I will not fail, I will endure any pains and sufferings in order to become stronger... In order to do that, I will subdue this energy and make it mine no matter what. It's either pass or I die, that's it... In my previous life, I stumbled on this place and I didn't qualify to learn that art, though I must admit that my summoning contract with the snake help me a lot.'

The body of Konohamaru which was rapidly transforming into a huge white snake with scales all over his body, starting with his limbs stopped midway. No further changes occurred for the past three hours, when suddenly his limbs slowly returned to their usual shape and the scales started to disappear. He was completely drenched in sweats and his skin retained its pale colour, almost pure white colour and the chakra surrounding his body became visible to the naked eyes.

Then, black pigmentations corresponding to tomoe appeared around each of his eyes with pointed ends upward, and reaching his ears.

"So, the kid made it...Hmmmm... It seems that there will be no snack this time... Hihihihihi..."

Konohamaru opened his eyes and his eyes had changed into pitch black vertically slitted pupils without visible irides. He stared at the White Snake Sage with a faint smile which made two pointed fang in his mouth visible.

"It seems that I survived Venerable White Snake Sage... Thanks for everything, it seems that it's time for me to go back."

"Hihihihihi... There's no need for you to thank me, it all happened because you were ready to do anything for more power... For your own thirst of power."
