19 4 Years Later (Part-1)
Yasaki couldn't become stronger here anymore, He was already reaching the peak of swordsmanship before the event with Old man happened in the first place.
Right now, the only way to grow stronger faster is through Thunder Mountain.
He said Goodbye to everyone. Prepared everything before his departure, And he disappeared with the poof..!! of smoke
XXXXXX
(1 Year Later)
On the top of Thunder Mountain, a young man with a naked upper body was practicing his basic sword moves, swinging his sword out and then brings it back to its sheath one time after another.
His upper body was full of burn marks and well defined with Abs and muscles.
A Huge Old Dog was sleeping beside him, opening his eyes watching the young man swinging his sword and then close his eyes again.
It Casually lifted a finger on its paw.
*Rumble*Rumble
A single Thunderbolt fell on the young boy's body. That single Thunderbolt was a complete disaster, Quacking the entire Mountain, But Other than a few cracks, The Mountain stood tall there.
The Young man stood with his body half-burned, and almost on the verge of Broken Body. Before Continuing his swinging.
Hah
He swings his sword once again.
The Sleeping dog smiled and nodded
Day or night, sunny or rainy, whatever day whatever time, the young man was always practicing on the same spot. And time to time, A disastrous Lightning Bolt falls on him.
Over time, Lightning comes and goes, seasons came and left; but no matter what, the swordsman never stopped his training.
Other than sleeping and eating some dried herbs that were covered in lightning. He never stopped.
The first time he came here, He nearly chocked from these dried herbs. And died from excessive lightning coursing through his body. But eventually, he managed to survive somehow.
Not to mention, these dried herbs were his only food in the mountain.
He wasn't fully fed in a year now. But no matter what, the dried herbs covered in Lightning provide him enough energy to last for a day.
And because he ate the food made solely for Raijus and Raijins. His Lightning Element was simulated and slowly began to mutate.
...
(1 Year Later)
He started from 3,000 swings, then increased to 5,000. When he was at the end of the day, he was already doing 10,000 swings a day.
Even Elders of the Thunder Mountain were shocked by the level of growth this boy was having.
Awooooo
The Dog cried, and a Powerful Lightning bolt fell on him, The Boy coughed some Blood, and his legs quiver, His body was little burnt once again. But this time, he managed to stand up.
The Elder Dog frowned and called for multiple Lightning bolts.
Boooommmm
Boooommmm
Boooommmm
The Thunder Mountain Quiver with the power of those Lightning Bolts.
In the end, the boy was lying there with his black and charcoal body. Most of his bones were broken from this attack.
The Dog went to sleep.
And the body of the boy twitched, as he grits his teeth to stand up. With his fractured Leg. He wanted to sleep badly at this point. Attend to his Injuries.
"Start swinging", said the dog, interrupting his thought process
The Boy grit his teeth and picked the sword, before started swinging it once more. But his hands were quivering as they no longer function the way he wanted.
At the end of the day. Once his training was over, and he was sleeping on the top of the hill.
The Huge Dog sleeps, covering the entire peak. Except for little space in between its Huge Tail and its huge body. Where the Tiny Human sleeps.
It lifted one of its fingers and sends a good amount of Yang chakra into the body of the young boy.
And like a snake, the burnt body of the boy began to shed, and in a mere few moments, The entire body of the boy was shed, and the black and charcoal boy became pretty again, No he was prettier with his skin glowing like a baby. Even his bald head has hair beginning to rapidly grow.
The boy woke up with a sudden jolt of pain.
RAAAAGGGHHH
He yelled because his bones began to break and reform again and again.
This Torture went for Hours.
At the time, when the night passed away and the day came. He was fully healed from head to toe, Brimming with energy and strength like never before.
"Start swinging", said the dog lazily
"Yes", the boy grinned and nearly skipped there.
The Elder Dog smiled.
Every day, he would swing his sword out forward and brings it back to his waist, and repeats the same action for another 99,999 times. At some point, his sword turned virtually invisible, one could only see a blank space filled with the afterimages of the sword.
Thunderbolts fall on him during this time, Tempering his body, Nearly killing him, only to revive him using Yang energy again and again.
Increasing his Physical stats to greater heights... It was to the point that the thunderbolts were not doing enough damage at this point anymore...
His Lightning mutated during this point of time as well, It became red, Making it so lethal that its destructive prowess goes way beyond anything else. Overpowering the destructive Fire and powerful Lightning. Making it so potent that it could destroy any simple Jutsu.
...
Suddenly one day, the afterimages of the sword decreased in number from 100,000 down to 10,000, then 5,000, to 3,000, and eventually, just one.
Ever since then, the swordsman would stand on top of the Thunder Mountain, for a whole day just to swing his sword once a day.
...
"For your Lightning Release to Mutate, I can understand, Afterall, I am feeding you my Yang Chakra for nearly a year, making it come closer to the fraction of my Level of Destruction. But for you to achieve this level of swordsmanship in mere 2 years, it's unbelievable"
The Boy smiled, "Thank you"
"And the worst part is, You are still capable of growing in Kenjutsu by far"
"That means you can't train me anymore?"
The Dog nodded, "I can't, You learned everything you can from me, But I can make you grow stronger"
"Really?"
"..."
The Dog thought for a long while before asking, "You wanted to get the strongest swordsman right?"
"Yes"
"It's going to be very tough"
"I don't care"
The Huge dog nodded its head, "Very well, Then head to Valley of Legends"
"Valley of Legends?"
"Yes, Its where the last Raijin trained his arts. I will pull you back 2 Years Later, or you will go insane"
"What"
The Huge dog throws him off the Mountain into the deep abyss. without explaining anything else.
...
Before the Youth realized, He was standing in an unfamiliar place.
'What is this place'
He kept on walking, As he looked around the surroundings, a white house on clean soil came into view. He went inside, it was empty. There was nothing at all.
He shrugged at that time and happily kept on swing his sword, Day in and Day out. Never taking a longer break more than necessary.
After six months. He was tired, Not physically, but rather mentally.
Repeating the same thing day after day.
Swing the sword
He doesn't fall asleep, He doesn't get hungry, and the worst thing, as soon as he felt tired, He was full of energy in a mere second.
The same thing day in and day out for more than six months, with nothing else to do. Nothing at all.
He was mentally fatigued at this point.
The other day, He took a walk around the valley for a distraction.
He stepped out of the main gate.
He was here, in the house yet again
Again... same result yet again.
Surprisingly, this place was only limited to the house.
In conclusion, this entire Valley is nothing but a house itself.
More than a year later, He just kept on swinging the sword, 'Why do I swing it', He thought
"RAAAGHHH... please give me a person. I don't want to stay here", He Yelled to no one.
...
With despair in his heart, He continued swinging his sword today too.
Sometime Later, He forgot why he was swinging that sword. With nothing else to do or no one else to talk to, He kept on swing his sword without any intention what-so-ever.
...
Two Years in this hell, A Boy that was 15 Years of Age today, Raise the stick overhead and swing in downwards...
He became an existence that simply repeated that concept.
Why does he swing the stick instead of the sword you ask?
Well, the concept of Sword is meaningless to him now... All he does is swinging, in this brutal world, where there is nothing to do... He does not care what he swings anymore, he just swings.
'In the first place, what have I come here for?... oh I remember it was because some old man trashed me. It's so tough to remember these days'
Even when he fell into that state – he kept Swinging. Why? Because there is nothing else to do. He can't even fall asleep.
These days, He swings nothing but with his bare hands, with nothing in it.
'I must never let go', is what he thought.
'What Should I never let go?'
'It might be some sort of obsession'
He kept on swinging.
And after six more months. A white Light covered the entire area. Bringing him out of that Hell Hole.
He cried and hugged when he saw the Huge Dog.
....
After full 4 Years, At the age of 15, He was finally able to come back to the world of Humans. He cried and hugged Sakumo who was growing stronger during this time as well.
...
After a week, He chose to walk, since he didn't talk or saw a single human in 4 years.
It was during this time that he met Uchiha Itachi. The young prodigy that's marking his name in History.
He is young and wandered off from his mother. Searching for her in the crowd.
He didn't pay Itachi any attention as he walks through the crowd of people who do not notice the faint sparks passively coming out of his body.
The Boy feels a tug on his shirt and looks down and black obsidian eyes were staring at him
"Mama? Where?", Itachi is calm and does not cry like ordinary children.
"Just like Kakashi", The Boy felt overwhelming emotions as he looked at Itachi's eyes.
He smiles, a genuine gentle smile, "What's your name?"
"Uchiha Itachi"
The Boy smiled even more gently
"What's your name", Itachi asked a bit childly
"Hatake Yasaki"
Itachi bend a little, "It's nice to meet you"
Yasaki chuckled, and pinched his cheeks, "Aren't you cute?"
"I am not cute", Itachi pouted and folded his arms
Yasaki Chuckled and bends down till he is at his height. With two fingers he presses against Itachi's forehead.
"What are you doing so far from the compound Bocchan?"
Itachi scowls and rubs his forehead in the spot where this weird Nii chan has tapped, "Lost mama" His voice resembles a petulant child
"I'll take you home"
Itachi holds onto his hand with such blind trust like they know each other for years
"Just like Kakashi, so pure, so innocent", thought Yaskai as he brought Itachi back to Uchiha compound
...
He was not welcomed in Uchiha Compound.
Even after all these Years, People still didn't forgive Hatake's.
He handed Itachi to Mikoto before started walking out.
"Thank you", came a stiff voice behind him
!!!!
He looked back to see, a worried Fugaku and crying Mikoto hugging Itachi.
Yasaki smiled gently, "It was my pleasure"
Parents' love surpasses all hatred.
For the first time, He felt Uchihas weren't so bad after all.
...
That first meeting spirals into several meetings, with Itachi, started following him, At first Yasaki was slightly annoyed but soon grows used to Itachi following after him like a second Little Kakashi.
Itachi attempts to copy his movements with limbs too small and slow and delicate.
As fell on Mud, with his Clear Large eyes stare at Yasaki.
Yasaki laughed before Picking him up and wiping Itachi's face.
...
Itachi Uchiha was a genius, a pure and absolute genius. and, no matter what Yasaki throws at him, he learned it.
He taught Itachi nothing more than basics though. He is too young and too pure to be tortured yet. Besides, Uchiha Heir will be thrown into desperate training soon enough.
XXXXXXX
"Hahahaha... Guess what... I'm finally going on an A-rank mission!" Obito exclaims jumping in excitement.
Yasaki chuckled, as he calmly drinks his coffee, "Well, that's good and all, when are you going to tell Rin, Or are you planning to keep my best friend waiting for the rest of her life"
Obito blushed as smoke came out his ears, "After this mission, I will tell her. I think I might have a chance"
Yasaki smiled and nodded
"Even though stupid Kakashi is second in command of the team, we will do great"
"Oy, That's my brother"
"I-- I mean, we're going to Kannabi Bridge in a few weeks so I have to prepare!", He ran away
Yasaki chuckled, "Tell me about it when you come back"
Obito waived his hand from far, "I'll tell you all about it!"
Yasaki nodded, "I will be waiting"
"I will be back soon, I promise"
...
A week later, Sakumo picked the news that Iwagakure has set up an Ambush on the Kannabi bridge. And Minato was separated from his team.
Yasaki immediately breaks into Lightning and become the Thunderbolt, quickly traveling thousands of miles in mere minutes.
His arrival is greeted with shock and guilt and sorrow. Rin collapses into his arms crying and Kakashi turns away clutching his left eye.
Obito is dead.
Dead and gone.
Never to return.
'I will be back soon, I promise'
'Liar', thought Yasaki
...
His return back to Konoha is forgotten under the sorrow and misery that clings to the village.
Sakumo, Minato, Rin, and Kakashi meet him in front of the Memorial Stone where he is bent down, his fingers caressing the recent entry of Obito
"Did he die smiling?" his voice didn't hold a single emotion
Rin's voice chokes as she begins to cry.
"Yeah, like the idiot he was," Kakashi's voice comes out in a whisper, broken.
Yasaki chuckled and wiped the tears in his eyes. As he stood and turned back, He caressed Kakashi's cheeks. "Go Home, and sleep"
"But---
"Kakashi, Do it for me", Kakashi nodded
He gently looked at Rin as well, "Go home as well, Your Kaa-san must be worried", She nodded as well
He did not say anything else, as he took several steps out of the village.
Minato moves to stop him, but a hand of Sakumo stopped him.
"Go home Minato. Tell Kushina what happened, and sleep on it"
"..."
...
(Outside the Main Gate)
"Where are you going?", asked Sakumo
"..."
"Yasaki"
"Please stay with Kakashi tou san. He needs you. I will be back soon", He went outside the gates.
Sakumo sighed, "I will be waiting"
Yasaki flinched, and nodded, "I will be back"
Sakumo went back to take care of Kakashi. Who needs it more than anything else at this point.
[Age- Yasaki- 15; Kakashi- 12, almost 13; Rin/Obito and everyone in this generation:- 14-15. Depend on the Birthday]
