12 The Home of Raijūs (Part-1)
Team 7 and Yasaki sat under the tree in the training grounds.
It was a few days before the start of the Chunnin exams and to Yasaki's and Sakumo's Pride, Kakashi is getting ready to enter the exam at the age of mere 6. If he succeeds, he will set a new record.
"Screw you" Yasaki shouted as he landed on the ground once again and glared up at the tree, the rest of Team 7 sitting under another tree, watching the show as they ate.
Yasaki walked back up the tree and on the underside of a branch yet again as he held a stupid water balloon in both hands, closing his eyes to concentrate.
"How long has it been now?" Obito wondered out loud as all eyes were glued on Yasaki.
"One week," Minato said smiling.
"Sensei, what is it?", Rin asked
"Something, I thought would help him, It's called Rasengan"
Yasaki jumped down gracefully with a look of rage on his face as he held the balloon in one hand and it exploded as his face twitched.
"Looks like mashed potatoes for dinner again." Kakashi sighed as he put his lunch down, losing his appetite.
Minato chuckled, "This type of food is good once in a while"
Kakashi looked at Minato rolling his eyes, "I am eating that for a week now"
Yasaki turned back to the tree with a yell of rage as he punched it and it shattered, and all of Team 7 shivered at the force as the tree was destroyed.
"What kind of training does he do at home? He is so scary now" Obito asked shivering by Yasaki's raw strength.
"From the day he took Tou san as his sensei. They don't train at home anymore, so, I don't know it all. But these days, He is always tired and beaten from head to toe. Tou san is driving him very hard" Kakashi pointed out, "His training must be very hard"
"Seems like he's done for the day," Rin said as Yasaki walked over and sat down with them, looking pissed off.
"Minato san, Rin, Obito, Kakashi, Train hard for the exam, I need to go, Tou san will be angry if I play too much, during my training break"
"You weren't playing, You were training!" Rin said out with concern and surprise and Yasaki grinned and shrugged.
"That is playing to me", Yasaki said and Rin sighed.
"What kind of training do you even do?"
Yasaki grinned and pointed at himself, "Aren't I cool?"
"No, you are not. and you've to learn the importance of rest." Rin said sternly and Yasaki rolled his eyes.
"I thought you are your mom, for a second Doctor Nohara." Yasaki laughed and Rin scoffed.
"That's my kaa-san's name, so you're trying to tell me I'm old now huh?" Rin asked, putting her hands on her hips
"And laugh a little more genuinely, Than doing these fake laughs"
She grabbed Yasaki's soft cheeks and pulled them into a smile. "Mn. You have to smile at least this much"
"Hih-, Hin, it hurff."
"It's fine, it's fine. But your Cheeks are so soft, Not only your face is prettier than me, but you also have a skin to die for, Huh? I am so jealous"
"It Hurff so Huch"
"Rin, if you pull his cheeks that much, he won't be able to say a thing", Minato tried saying but it did not affect her.
"They are close", Obito muttered as he kept on staring at them
"Yea, They are very close", Kakashi said as he eats his food
Minato sweatdropped trying to diffuse the situation between Jealous Rin and Yasaki

(1 Month Later)
On the outskirts of Sunagakure, Yasaki was standing with black clothes and a Bandana over his head. As he was surrounded by numerous shinobis.
"Speak, Who are you, Brat", one of them asked
"Step aside" Yasaki stated as he began walking towards the exit of the massive walls. Just as he took several steps, a Suna jonin flickered in front of him.
"You aren't going anywhere..!!" he stated as he pulled unsheathed his katana, dashing at the Bandana covered little Boy, seeking to bisect the boy across the waist.
Yasaki stopped the blade with his bare hand, as blood drops from it. Yet, Yasaki didn't show a single emotion
!!!
'What is this Physical Strength', Suna Jonin tried to pull his sword back, but no matter how much strength he put into it, He can't pull it out from the Brat's hand.
Yasaki folded his leg and kneeing the man in the stomach. Making him Fall over in intense pain.
Yasaki Strength these days under Sakumo's training is of no joke.
"..."
Seeing their comrade like this, the other jonin rushed at Yasaki all at once. as a lone Black cloth shinobi watched all of them.
The first Suna Jonin materialized two blades composed of wind as he crossed his arms and jumped towards Yasaki.
Taking several Steps back, Yasaki leaned to the left as the shinobi sliced his wind blades creating powerful winds above Yasaki that could tear him apart, The attack missed.
As Yasaki put his hand on the sand and sideswiped the Jonin's face. with his gymnast agility.
He does the spinning side flip to dodge the attack from the back, as he trusted both palms forward and knocked the shinobi backward
At that moment two puppets closed in from both sides as Yasaki's back was against the wall.
Streaming Chakra Threats from both palms, they waive both arms towards Yasaki from the opposite sides, the puppet user skillfully manipulated the chakra threads in hopes of making this Unknown Shinobi's last act.
Eyeing the puppets and the pace at which their arms moved, Yasaki back flipped up the wall before kicking off the wall towards the puppeteer as he close-lined the puppeteer, The Suna shinobi could do nothing as a Black sword appeared in Yasaki's hand, as he slashed it, detaching his neck clean off from his body.
The other Puppeteer tried to attack using his Puppet. Yasaki merely stood there holding his One-handed Black sword pointed downward with the main hand.
"DIE"
The puppet reached Yasaki, But Yasaki merely took a step forward.
Everyone's mouth was wide open when the Puppeteer dropped dead with his neck rolling on the sand.
"You don't have much time, Once Suna forces are here, you'd be dead meat, End this quickly", Came the voice from far away
!!!!
"White Fang"
"White Fang"
"White Fang"
Everyone looked at Sakumo and then at Yasaki and muttered, "Are they related?"
"They must be, Look at his white hair"
"Let's end this!" Yasaki stated as he took a single long "step" extending way past the opponent, and appear behind Suna Shinobis. when he comes to hold, An enormous shockwave rippled through the pathway in its wake, making Suna Shinobis fly in different directions, completely ripping open their chest area and exposing their Vital organs.
"Bravo..." a man stated, standing at the end of the exit to the village. While Clapping his hand.
"While I don't support the act of ambushing a guest in this village, something tells me you aren't here on vacation..." he added.
"..."
The Man smiled, "You are related to White Fang, Mind telling me who are you?"
"Hatake Yasaki, Hatake Clan's Heir"
"Konoha?"
"I don't fight for Konoha, I fight for White Fang"
The Man chuckled, "He fights for Konoha, Right?"
Yasaki shrugged, "His decision"
"Ah, I heard the treatment they gave White Fang, Since they decided to forsake you guys, Do you want to fight for my village?"
Yasaki chuckled, "I only follow White Fang and no one else. But then again, I doubt he will fight for you guys"
The man chuckled as well, "Thought so"
"And you are?" Yasaki asked.
"I'm Hikaru. Sorry for talking before introducing myself, but I can't let you leave the village without knowing why you are here."
"And you think you can stop me?" replied Yasaki.
"Yes..." Hikaru giggled
Yasaki giggled as well
Suddenly, Hikaru was five feet away from Yasaki with his Katana already drawn and to his throat.
"Impressive... but not good enough... You are far too slow than Tou san" Yasaki states, with White Chakra armor over the area where Hikaru's blade was and a sword to the heart of the intrusive man's chest.
"When did he place chakra armor over his neck..." he muttered as he jumped back.
'And when did he move his sword next to my heart?...'
As if out of nowhere, Yasaki took off at immense speed, running past Hikaru and dashing for the desert plains.
"I won't let you escape!" the blond-haired Hikaru exclaimed.
Hikaru quickly-paced behind him as he closed in.
Suna Entrance Guards observe two unknown figures exiting Sunagakure's entrance. Both figures appear to be running at speeds not seen of typical shinobi to date as both, appear to be engaging in Kenjutsu.
Hikaru dashed at Yasake and stabbed at Running Yasaki with a grin.
Yasaki sighed, and turned back, as he merely swings his sword in a pendulum-like fashion to parry that attack.
*Tink
Hikaru's attack missed as he stumbled to the side by the force of that parry.
"If all you do is a strike, it is impossible to threaten your foe's life in the true meaning of the word. When engaging the opponent in battle, you must reach out and touch their heart"
"Shut up"
"It's useless to strike me", Yasaki sighed
Taking several strides towards his foe, Hikaru swings his sword at Yasaki.
Simply standing there, Yasaki tilted his body as he twisted, dodging the man's sword as he noticed black sand begin to scatter around the area, taking unique, but as of yet formless forms.
The mass of black sand sprung into action as it leaped into the air before crashing down harshly on Yasaki.
!!!
Hikaru looked down at his Heart that was pierced from behind.
'How did he'
*Puke
He vomited blood as Yasaki pulled his sword back.
"I told you, If all you do is a strike, You can not hope to touch me"
XXXXXXX
Sakumo looked at Yasaki who spent the better part of half an hour throwing up with the mental image of killing people into his thoughts.
"The first Kill is Always the Hardest, But you were prepared", Sakumo said
"..."
"Why did I do that? They were innocents. This is not right", He asked with Hollow eyes
Sakumo nodded, and kneel in front of Yasaki, "A warrior has only one job on the battlefield. And that... is to win. There is no such thing as a "good side" or a "bad side" during a conflict. When at war, both sides are in the wrong. You must shed the childish thoughts of respect and fair... and become a demon. That is the only way to survive on this battlefield."
"But--- why?"
"To make you famous"
"What?"
"Third War has taken too many Innocent lives, There needs to be a single target for them to stop killing each other"
"And I am that target"
"Yes, And This ambush would make you instantly famous throughout the elemental Nation, as someone people will fear enough to sign a temporary peace treaty"
"But this will only rise to bigger conflicts Later"
Sakumo nodded, "You don't have to worry about that, Jiraiya has found a way to end all this war, We just need to wait for the child of Prophecy"
"Child of Prophecy? Who is it"
Sakumo laughed, "I have no Idea Kid"
"Will he end all of this?"
"I trust it"
"..."
Sakumo smirked, and Ruffled Yasaki's hair, "Come on, let's go, Suna's army should reach here any moment. We have taken what we wanted here anyway"
"What we wanted?"
Sakumo nodded and took out a Giant Scroll
"What is that?"
"Reverse Summoning scroll to the Thunder Mountain. The Home of your summons"
XXXXXXX
(1 Week Later)
"Alright, Before you go, there is something you should know, This is a Reverse Summoning scroll to the Thunder Mountain. The Home of Raijūs"
"Yes"
"Raijū, better known as the "thunder beast", it is a legendary creature. Its body is composed of lightning. And it's a very fierce dog. So don't be afraid, It's going to alright. They won't become your Companion until unless proven otherwise"
"..."
"It may also fly about as a ball of lightning. Its cry may sound like thunder, it's power rivaled by few. Its movement is as fast as lightning, thus claiming the title 'Lightning Rider'.
"..."
"Just don't show any weakness to them, No matter the condition, Use this seal on your arm to forcefully reverse summon yourself here in case something goes wrong"
"Yes"
"If you don't come out, in 3 weeks, I will come looking for you"
"Yes"
"Good Luck", Sakumo kissed Yasaki's forehead
XXXXXXX
(Outskirts of Thunder Mountain)
Yasaki stood there unsure of what to do.
Suddenly a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky a few feet in front of Yasaki,
"Holy Shit!" screamed Yasaki as he was blasted away from the spot.
Out of the smoke came out a titanic Dog, thrice the size of Yasaki himself,
"Human, what courage you must have to enter my clan's domain!" snarled the Dog as is crept closer to where Yasaki lay on the ground.
"Uh... I can explain!"
"Explain you shall human, why you have intruded on my clan's lands"
"To... Contract you guys?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
HAHAHAHAHA
Yasaki gulped, With every Laugh the Clouds Rumbled, and the Lightning strikes. He has never seen such a terrifying summon in his entire life.
"You have guts Human, I like you"
"..."
"Ok"
"..."
"..."
The Big Dog coughed by the awkward silence between two
"Since you want to be our Contractor, you need to meet our elder, Once you pass his test, You can become our Contractor. Be careful that he does not kill and eat you beforehand"
"..."
"You see that mountain over there, It's called Thunder Mountain. You shall find the Elder at the top of the Mountain"
Yasaki looked at the Humongous Mountain, where the clouds formed in the shape of a dragon. Lightning cracked through those. Yasaki gulped, Entering that Mountain means sure electrocution.
The Big Dog chuckled, "What is it Human, Are you afraid?"
"Yes"
"Then--
"But I will do it anyway, I have been told that I can't show any weakness here"
"Hoh? Then Proceed Human"
The Titanic Dog Disappeared in the mist, along with Yasaki.
...
"We're here", Yasaki said
"Indeed! Can you feel it", The Titanic Dog said
"Uh... Feel what?"
"The Thunder Energy of my ancestors? Truly, it is a marvel to feel, to smell, to taste... mmmm...
"Nope, I'm-- *ahem* My apologies, but I cannot. My human senses are not as highly developed as yours, oh great Raijū"
"No? How dreadful! Living through life without experiencing such joys?"
"Woe and alas! How inadequate my senses are..!!", Yasaki rolled his eyes
HAHAHAHAHA
The Thunder Rumbled, making Yasaki jump back to protect himself.
Especially, now that they are at the foot of the mountain.
This big-headed dog could seriously Electrocute him at any moment. Even unintended
"Don't worry, if you somehow manage to acquire our Contract. You shall be able to feel it as well"
"Yes, In the name of your ancestors, let us ascend the mountain and talk to them?"
"Oho, certainly! Ascend the Mountain, Human. I am waiting for you to fail"
Yasaki chuckled, as he climbs the Humongous Mountain path.
...
"Well, that went better than expected. I didn't expect him to just hand over the loot, but being dropped off at its doorstep is better than nothing", Muttered Yasaki
*ahem* Hello, peoples of Thunder Mountain! I come requesting your services! I can trade, or--
Suddenly, a flock of voices in the distance can be heard simultaneously.
???: "Intruder? Intruder..!!"
???: "Sound the alarm..!!"
???: "Rally the defenses! We shall not fall"
???: "Gather Our Armies"
???: "Chop the woods, We must build ourself a bunker"
"..."
???: "Let's build ourself Heavy artillery to defend ourself"
"..."
???: "Let's build a ship as well"
???: "You idiot, what's the use of ship anyway"
"Uh... Am I meeting some kids or something like that?", He forgot that he is only 9 this year as well
Yasaki kept on ascending the mountain but only after a short walk, He comes across a litter of Thunder Puppies on the mountain.
"Hello, Puppies..!!"
The Puppies turn around and simultaneously say
Thunder Puppy: "The invader"
Thunder Puppy: *Ruff*Ruff
Thunder Puppy: "Inform Dad"
Thunder Puppy: "No Idiot, what's your dad even gonna do at this time, Inform Lord Svadilfari..!!"
"I--
Thunder Puppy: "ATTACK! Get him while he's confused..!!"
"..."
"I Just---
"CHARGE"
*Rumble*Rumble
The Thunder in the clouds, Rumbled Loudly as three Kids Puppies turned into a Blue Thunder Ball as they charge at Yasaki.
"..."
What a Great and Intelligent Beast these are.
