I hid on a nearby tree as I eavesdropped on Shisui and Itachi.
"Big Brother Shisui, Can you teach me a jutsu? I have already unlocked my Chakra and I am ready to train in Ninjutsu.
Father promised to teach me a jutsu, but soon after he went on a mission. Mother seems to be sick.
She told me that she is pregnant, and I will be a big brother soon. So, she can't teach me jutsu."
Itachi requested Shisui.
"Shisui scratched his back and smiled.
"I think you should probably learn your first jutsu from Uncle Fugaku. I will train you in Shurikenjutsu if you want to learn it."
"That seems fair too, then Big Brother Shisui teach me Shurikenjutsu." Itachi cheered up a little bit.
'Oh! Shisui is about to flex in front of Itachi. I am interested, it has been a while since I last saw Shisui's skills. I wonder how much he has improved with Shurikenjutsu.'
Shisui puts many targets on nearby trees and rocks. He draws out a large number of Kunais from his holster as he held them in his hand. He grips the tip of the kunais between his fingers and flicked his hand.
The kunais vanishes as Shisui turns his palm over and shows them to Itachi. He flicks his hand again and kunais re-appear in between his fingers.
'Oh! He learned some party tricks.'
Shisui throws all the kunais at target. All the kunais hits the bullseye, and Itachi is surprised to see it.
Shisui grabs more kunais from his pocket and throws them randomly in the air. He draws out more kunais and hit the previous kunais to redirect their trajectory. All the kunais hits the bullseye. Itachi's eyes are shining at this point.
"After some practice, you will be able to do the same. Izuna Nii-san is even better than me. I learned this trick from him."
"Oh! I would also like to get trained by Izuna nii-san, but he is always on his missions." Itachi complains.
'Oh! I guess I should give them a surprise then. It is time to test my new cool jutsu.'
Winds start to blow in the training ground as many particles start to gather in front of Shisui and Itachi. They are surprised to see this, and both of them raise their guards.
All the particles start to combine as they form a humanoid apparition. A figure starts to form within the particles and they finally shatter like glass to reveal my figure.
Tadaah…
I appear in front of Shisui and Itachi as I wave my hands at them. They are shocked to see me as they stare with wide-eyes at me for an entire minute. Their jaw is wide open as they gawk at me.
"Are you guys surprised at me? You guys missed me, right? So, here am I." I speak to them to hear their response, but they point at me with shaky hands.
'Did my new jutsu surprised them to this extent? Well, I got the idea of this jutsu from one of my favorite games from my previous life. So, I thought of putting it to use and created this new jutsu.'
'Light Style: Transmat'
"Hey! Are you two listening? Answer me, boys." I try to calm them down.
"Are you really Izuna Nii-san? You aren't a ghost right?" Shisui steps back and looks at me with wariness.
Bonk…
I bump my fist on Shisui's head as I angrily shout at him,
"I am your real Izuna Nii-san. That was my new jutsu. It is rude of you Shisui to label me a ghost."
"So, you really are Izuna nii-san. It has been a while since I last saw you." Shisui smiles sheepishly.
"Izuna nii-san, what was that jutsu you used now? It is so cool, can you tell me about it?" Itachi asks me in enthusiasm.
"That's a new jutsu, I created Itachi. You know, the normal Substitution jutsu with a log appears dull to me. There is no creativity in that jutsu, so I replaced it with my brand new creation."
"Can you teach this jutsu to us?" Shisui and Itachi ask me in unison.
"Hmm…how to say it to you? But this jutsu is unique to me, I can't teach this jutsu to you." I burst their bubble of excitement.
Shisui and Itachi dejectedly hang their neck. I try to appease them,
"Although, I can't teach it to you. You can create your own Substitution jutsu. For example, you can use summons to create such an effect. Shisui, if I heard it right; you recently signed a summoning contract with Crows. Uncle Yagami helped you with the summoning contract.
Why don't you partner with crows to create your own substitution jutsu and arrival? You can teach that to Itachi. Also, if you successfully completed this jutsu, then I can promise to do one thing for you. How is it, do you like my idea?"
Shisui contemplates for a while before he nods to me,
"Ok! Nii-san, you must promise me. I will create this jutsu very quickly."
"Ok! I promise to you. Now, what are you guys doing here?" I ask Shisui.
"Oh! I am just teaching some Shurikenjutsu to Itachi. Nii-san, why don't you show your new Shurikenjutsu technique for us? I have already mastered all the previous techniques and I even created a trick of my own."
Shisui demonstrates his party trick technique as he flexes again.
'Now, it's time for me to flex.'
"Ok! Watch carefully."
I throw out many kunais randomly in the air. The kunais starts to fall down after reaching a certain height. I take out a shuriken from my holster and throws it towards a kunai.
The Shuriken collides with the kunai and deflects its trajectory. It then collides with another kunai and deflects its trajectory too. This continues for a while as Shuriken continues to deflect all kunais. Finally, it hits the bullseye on one of the targets together with all other kunais.
Shisui and Itachi are shocked by this development. Both of them start to clap as they praise me.
"That's too awesome, Izuna nii-san. Please teach this to us."
"I will teach this to both of you. But Itachi you have to master basic techniques first, then only you can move to advance stuff.
Also, you need to unlock your Sharingan to predict their trajectory and aim accordingly. Once you get the hang of your Sharingan, you can repeat my feat without Sharingan just like me. It will become muscle memory for your body, and your normal perception will also increase.
Shisui, I will teach this technique to you. Itachi you can watch me and learn something from observation."
I start to teach them the advanced techniques of Shurikenjutsu. The training lasts for a while as the sun sets on the horizon. We decide to return to clan compounds as all of us walk together.
"Itachi, you are going to join the academy soon?" I ask Itachi.
"Yes, nii-san, I will apply for the academy after father return from his mission. It is going to be a new session by then." Itachi replies.
"Ok! Once you join the academy, I will teach you Shadow Clone Jutsu. You can send your clone to academy and train with Shisui using your real body."
Itachi nods to me. Shisui starts to grumble,
"Nii-san, you used Shadow clone to skip academy too. Now, you are teaching this bad habit to Itachi."
"Shisui, think about it. Academy is a waste of time for talents like Itachi. Academy is only meant for civilian kids to learn some jutsu and know more about Ninja's life. We are from the Uchiha clan, and we have already learned this stuff in our clan.
Besides, Itachi will send a Shadow Clone to the academy. Whenever he will dispel the Shadow clone, all the information gathered by the clone will appear in his mind. So, technically, he is still attending the academy." I try to convince Shisui.
"Well, you have a point there, Izuna nii-san. I will keep this a secret from Uncle and Aunt then.
We reached Uchiha clan compounds as we conversed. Soon, we reached the clan head's residence.
"Oh! If it isn't Izuna-kun and Shisui-kun. So, all three of you were training together." Aunt Mikoto looks at the dirty clothes of Itachi and Shisui.
She had a big bulge in her stomach, and she took support against a wall.
'Oh! Sasuke is about to be born. So, I have one year's worth of time to prepare for that incident. I won't allow anything to happen to you Minato and Kushina nee-san.' I remind myself.
"Mom, you should rest inside the house. The doctor advised resting to you." Itachi supports Mikoto and leads her inside.
"Itachi-dear, I was waiting for you. Izuna and Shisui, both of you come and join us. It has been a while since you visited us."
Aunt Mikoto invites us inside the house, and we follow her.

A/N:- Ok, stop complaining. We will deal with Sin Seal now, It won't hinder Izuna in anyway. But some of you might not like the way I dealt with it. I am writing this story with Boruto in my mind. Isshiki Otsutsuki cream-pied Full power Naruto and Sasuke with only a kick while only using around a tiny bit of his power. I need to add some other elements to make Izuna more Op.
---------------------
A month passed by, Sasuke is finally born.
Fugaku threw a large party to celebrate the occasion. They invited nearly all clansmen and other clan heads to the party.
I attended the party together with my family. Even Minato and Kushina got an invitation. Well, Minato is Hokage and Kushina seemed to be a close friend of Mikoto.
Baby Sasuke looked way too cute. Itachi carried Sasuke in his arms and Sasuke giggles.
'Bro-con! Itachi is a bro-con.'
I remarked at their interactions. I have grown up from the stage of molestation by the frantic group of aunties and Grandmas. Itachi can avoid this because of Sasuke.
'I won't allow Sasuke to turn into an Emo again. Look at this cute child, some schemes of Danzo or Obito can 't ruin him.'
I tickle Sasuke slightly on his cheeks. Sasuke grabbed my finger and giggle.
"Nii-san, he likes you." Itachi and Shisui remarks.
Itachi seems to hesitate on something as he silently mutters to himself,
'But I am his real brother!'
I sweat-drop at Itachi.
'I can hear you, Itachi.'
We are interrupted by some disturbances; I turn around and get freaked out by creepy Hyugas. Hiashi and Hizashi appeared with a bunch of Hyuga elders.
I spot two pretty Hyuga women with them. One of them is holding a small kid in her arms.
'If my guess is correct, then they are the wives of Hiashi and Hizashi and that small kid is Neji. He is about to turn a year old.'
Mother, Aunt Mikoto, Aunt Fumiko, and Big Sister Kushina welcomes them as they form a lady union of their own.
'There are only two creepy things in the village which can freak me out. First is Hyuga with their Byakugan and second is Aburame's with their insect littered bodies. I still can't get used to them.'
Another commotion occurs and speaks of the Devil. Aburame clan members have arrived. Shibi walks near me and asks,
"How are you doing, kid?"
"You remembered me, Shibi-san," I question him.
"You were too outstanding to be forgotten. Also, everyone in the village is aware of 'Silent Shinigami'. You are quite famous kid." Shibi answers me as he moves on to greet Fugaku.
Similarly, Choza arrived with Akimichis and greeted me. With the arrival of Hiruzen, the party starts as it turns quite noisy.
Sasuke cries in agitation. I tickle his cheeks to cheer him. Itachi grudgingly looks at me. I ignore him as we walk to a quiet corner.
The party continues as the celebration lasts until midnight.
-------------
The next day,
I pay a visit to Big Sister Kushina. Kushina is surprised by my visit and she pretends to be upset at me.
"Big Sister Kushina, how are you? I really missed you."
Hmph…
Kushina snorted as she ignored me. She starts to mumble to herself.
"Izuna has been a bad boy recently. He has already forgotten about his Big Sister Kushina, if not he would visit her often. Sob…sob…I missed him so much."
I try to appease her,
"It wasn't my fault, Big Sister Kushina. It is all Minato-san's fault. He has given me lots of missions recently. I hardly have any vacation in between them." I sigh and puts all blame on Minato.
'I am sorry, Minato-san. Bite the bullet this time.'
"That Minato. Wait for him to return home. I will give him a piece of my mind. There is no dinner for him today."
Kushina angrily gnashes her teeth.
'A moment of silence for Minato-san.' I close my eyes to pay my respects to Minato's poor soul.
"Anyway, Izuna-kun, what brought you here? You aren't here to just meet me, right?" Kushina glares at me as she questions me threateningly.
���Have she figured out my lie? I have to act natural.'
"What are you talking about, Kushina Nee-san? I just came here to pay a visit to you, since I was free." I try to convince her.
She smiles at me and walks up to me. She grabs and twists my ear.
"Aww…aww…it hurts Kushina nee-san."
"Give me a hug and I will consider it even."
I grudgingly comply with her. She hugs me tightly and snuggles with me.
"You are the only person left after Obito and Rin's departure. Don't die too early." Kushina hugs me, a drop of tear falls from her eye.
I just allow her to embrace me for a while to calm her down. I console her for a while.
"Ok! Izuna-kun, now tell me the real issue."
"Big Sister Kushina, I want to investigate the remains of Hidden Eddy Village or Uzushiogakure. I have a hunch that it involves many suspicious things with the Uzumaki clans' extinction.
Also, I want to know more about Fuinjutsu as I have already reached the Grandmaster level in Fuinjutsu. I think there is much more to Fuinjutsu and I can still progress further."
Kushina immediately congratulates me,
"Congratulation! Izuna-kun. It seems that your talent in Fuinjutsu is even higher than many direct descendants of our Uzumaki Ancestor. It can be considered comparable to the Great Ancestor.
It took me around five years to reach the Master level and another seven years to reach the Grandmaster level. Minato surprised me a lot when he took the same amount of time as me. But you Izuna-kun, you reached Grandmaster level just in four years.
That is a monstrous rate of progress, even according to Uzumaki standards. You are such a little monster, Izuna-kun."
Kushina hugs me again as she snuggles with me. After snuggling for a while, she leaves me from her embrace as she continues,
"I had my own doubts, too. My Uzumaki clan got annihilated despite the protection of Konoha and Grandma Mito. I investigated this matter for many years, but I still couldn't figure out the identity of the Culprit.
If you can find something from your investigation, then sure I will help you."
I question many things regarding the Uzumaki clan from Kushina, and she answered all of them.
"I have one last question, Kushina nee-san. I would like to ask about the origin of the Uzumaki clan. From Uchiha's records, I came to know that Senju and Uzumaki were blood-related. At some point, they separated into these two clans.
I would like to know the exact details of the origin of the Uzumaki clan. If you are fine with it, then please answer my question."
I am really curious about the origin of the Uzumaki clan. There is no clear cut mention of their origin in the original story. I wonder what there origin story in this world.
Kushina nods and answers me,
"This is not much of a secret, as my clan is almost extinct now. There is no harm in telling you. Also, even I am not sure about the origin of my clan, but from various rumors which I heard as a child, I have some idea about our origin.
A few centuries ago, one of the direct descendants of the Senju clan left the clan as he had no talents for Ninjutsu or Genjutsu. The ancestor journeyed through the entire world and finally found his talent in Fuinjutsu.
There are various stories about his fortuitous encounter, one of the states that he found a certain artifact which granted him the knowledge of Fuinjutsu and was the reason for the long-lives and an extensive amount of Chakra of Uzumaki's.
Another story states that at some point during his journey, the ancestor made a summoning contract with Reaper which blessed him with large amounts of Chakra, a long-life span, and the knowledge of Fuinjutsu.
I am not entirely sure of the details, but these are the various stories and myths I heard during my short stay in the clan. If you want, I can give you the sealing formula to access the Uzumaki clan compounds present in Konoha. They were previously maintained by Grandma Mito, and I stayed there for a while before moving with Minato after our marriage.
There is also an Uzumaki shrine located on the outskirts of Konoha, which was built by Grandma Mito to honor our ancestors. You can also pay a visit to it. I will also give you a map to the location of Uzushiogakure as it is hidden in the Land of Whirlpools.
Without a proper map, you will get trapped in the whirling death pools of the Village. There is only one correct way to access the village."
After searching for a while, Big Sister Kushina hand over a scroll and a map to me.
"Use this scroll to access the Uzumaki compounds and the Shrine. Also, stay safe during your journey and inform Minato about your departure."
I walk out of her house as I start to inspect the key to the barrier formula of Uzumaki compounds.
'This is quite a complex formula, even more complex than the barrier of Village. It will take me a lot of time to decipher this formula. I guess Mito Uzumaki was at the pinnacle of Grandmaster level in Fuinjutsu.'
I stow away the seal and map as I return home. Tomorrow, I will start my journey to Land of Whirlpool and hopefully, I can find a solution to the 'Sin Seal'.
