Chapter 98: 96. Back to Konoha
Izuna appears on top of the Hokage Monument.
He looks around and inspects the village.
"The air is a bit chilly here. I can see the tension in the village. I guess Uchihas' dissatisfaction is apparent to the villagers. I will pay a visit to Mom and Dad and then I will talk with Tsunade.
I will look upon Itachi and Shisui too, they would have progressed a lot this year."
Izuna disappears from the Hokage's monument and re-appear outside the Uchiha clan.
-------------
Inside the Hokage's Office,
Hiruzen stares at Hokage Monuments and murmurs,
"Tobirama-sensei, it has been a while since Danzo disappeared from the village. My suspicion is, he died in a battle; but I am not aware of the culprit.
There are no clues or traces of Danzo anywhere. Even the Root Shinobis have no information on this matter. All of them were trapped in a powerful genjutsu. I suspect the culprit is the same person who attacked the village during the Nine-tails incident.
But Danzo had done plenty of dirty deeds and schemes, and I unknowingly supported him. I am not a competent leader. If only I could notice it earlier."
Hiruzen sighs and looks at the report.
"Recently, there have been increased reports and complaints from civilians regarding the mistreatment by Uchiha Police Force. The Uchiha Police Officers continue to harass civilians and shopkeepers.
They even had some skirmishes with Anbu and caused some mutual damage."
Hiruzen sighs and places down the scroll.
-----------------
In an underground hideout,
Achoo…
Obito sneezes and looks around.
'It's a bit chilly here.'
He stands up and walks towards Black Zetsu.
"It's time to start the next phase of our plan. We failed to capture the Nine-tails in the previous attempt. Our strength is not enough to collect all the Nine-tailed beasts together.
Konoha has various powerful shinobi. Obito looks at the pinned pictures of Hiruzen, Sakumo, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Fugaku, Minato, Kushina, Hiashi, and Izuna.
There is a cross on Minato, Kushina, and Orochimaru's pictures.
"We can deal with the rest of them. Nagato's Six Paths of Pain are sufficient for them, but our major concern lies with Izuna Uchiha."
Obito stabs a Kunai in Izuna's picture.
"He is way too strong for us to handle. Even Nagato with his Rinnegan was struggling against this monster. He is a Genjutsu, Kenjutsu, Ninjutsu, Shurikenjutsu, and even Fuinjutsu Master. He doesn't have any weakness…. Maybe except for his family members."
Obito contemplates on the matter. He turns towards Black Zetsu and speaks,
"It is time for you to officially join the Akatsuki. We need to recruit more members for our plan to succeed. I will discuss our plans with Pain.
I will infiltrate Hidden Mist Village and will seek a way to gain control of the Fourth Mizukage. Their Mizukage is quite young, and he is a jinchuruki as well.
We need resources to support Akatsuki and initiate the next step of our plan. I will control Hidden Mist and gain funds for our operations."
Obito swirls out of the hideout. Black Zetsu looks at the disappearing figure of Obito and thinks,
'Mother! I am one more step closer to your revival. All Chakra shall be reunited again and form the Chakra tree. That foolish Hagoromo distributed the Chakra to mankind and wasted it.
But I will soon reunite it. Mother shall see this world once again. All Chakra shall return to its Original Owner.'
Black Zetsu enters the ground and moves out from the hideout.
--------------
Izuna enters inside the Uchiha compound and strolls in the market. He observes the passer-by and notices a lack of Non-Uchiha citizens.
'The Uchihas are isolating themselves. Even the Uchiha Police Force appears to be cold and distant. I suppose Fugaku is pressured by those Old geezers of the clan. After Grand-uncle passed away, there is no one to keep them under tabs.
It was their ambition paired with Danzo's manipulation, which leads to the downfall of the Uchiha clan. I have dealt with Danzo, but these old senile geezers are still persistent.
I don't want to step in early to involve in the conflict as it is too much of a pain in the ass and the ambitions of these old geezers will only increase.
But I won't allow the mindless slaughter of the clan. If Obito touches my family, I will end him. I don't care about the future. I am a selfish person and I don't have any thoughts regarding other Uchiha clan members, but my parents are my bottom line.'
He enters his house, and his mother greets him.
"Izuna dear! It has been a while since you last showed up. Mother missed you a lot. You will be a big brother soon. Are you happy about it?"
Izuna tilts his head and questioningly looked at Aiko,
"Mother! But your womb?" He points towards Aiko's stomach.
"Oh! That! We followed Tsunade-san's procedure, and your Aunt Fumiko agreed to be the adoptive mother of our child. She is two months pregnant now and soon you and Shisui will become a big brother."
"Wow! That's great. I can't wait for my sibling to be born. I want a cute little sister." Izuna smiles in happiness.
'So, Tsunade succeeded in the procedure. That's a genius for you. I have to thank her for her hard work. I will gift the expensive honey wine from the Land of Honey to her. I got it during one of my Anbu missions and I preserved it in one of my scrolls.'
"Where is father?" Izuna looks around and notices the absence of Akira.
"There is an important clan meeting held in the Naka Shrine. Your father is attending the meeting. I am not sure of the issue, but it is regarding the attitude of higher-ups of the village against the Uchiha clan.
This politics and all, I don't want to be a part of it. I will cook your favorite dish tonight." Aiko enters the kitchen.
"Guess I will check up on Shisui, Itachi, Sasuke, and Naruto. I haven't seen their progress in a while."
Izuna closes his eyes and enters Semi-Sage Mode. He senses the Chakra of Shisui and the rest of them.
"There you are, Uchiha training ground 5. Big Brother will like to see your progress."
Izuna walks out of his house and flickers towards the training ground. He reaches inside the training ground within seconds.
Izuna hides his presence and eavesdrops on them. Shisui is training Naruto whereas Itachi is training Sasuke.
"Naruto-kun! You have large amounts of Chakra. I haven't seen such amounts of chakra in any shinobi except for Big-brother Izuna. His chakra reserves are vast, but for some unknown reasons, big-brother was always low on chakra. Maybe he was working on another of his new techniques, which consumed an enormous amount of Chakra.
Anyway, my point is you have terrible Chakra control because of your large reserves. I have taught you Shurikenjutsu, some simple wind jutsus, and basic taijutsu in this past year.
Now, it is time to train your chakra control. If you have a good chakra control, you will be able to use several jutsu using the same amount of Chakra."
Naruto tilts his head in confusion and questions Shisui,
"Big-Brother Shisui, That's quite complicated. I don't quite get it. I hate complicated stuff. Can you explain it in simple terms? Dattebyo!.."
Shisui thinks for a while before he replies,
"Naruto, consider your body as a bowl of ramen. Your Chakra is the broth of Ramen. Now your body has lots of broth… I mean chakra in it, which means your bowl is bigger than the rest of people."
"But isn't it a good thing? I have a larger bowl, then I will get to eat more Ramen. Dattebyo!" Naruto licks his tongue.
"It is a good thing, but there is a catch to it. Naruto imagines if your ramen has lots of broth, but there are fewer noodles in your bowl. Will you like your ramen?" Shisui questions Naruto.
"No… I want more noodles in my ramen. Dattebyo!" Naruto complains.
"Exactly, that extra broth in your body… I mean chakra is wasted. To fully enjoy the extra broth, you need extra noodles and toppings.
Such is the case with you, to make use of that extra chakra and to not waste it, you need more noodles… I mean more chakra control. Then, only will you be able to enjoy your ramen… I mean you will efficiently use your chakra." Shisui holds his breath and stares at Naruto.
"Do you understand, Naruto?"
"Yes, I understand a little. Next time, I will ask Old Man Teuchi to add more noodles in my ramen." Naruto nods to Shisui.
"Damn!" Shisui clutches his head.
Haha…
Izuna chuckles and shakes his head,
"This Naruto! He only cares about ramen. I have to step in. Shisui must be going insane in this past year. Standard training can't teach Naruto, he requires specialized training. Let me take a look at Sasuke's progress.
He is smarter among the duo. I don't think he would face any difficulty with the training."
Izuna turns towards Sasuke and Itachi.

Chapter 99: 97. Spar
Itachi is training Sasuke in Shurikenjutsu.
There are a bunch of target places around them. Itachi picks up a bunch of kunais and tosses them up in the air.
He draws more kunais from his holster and throws them at the previous kunais. The kunais change their trajectory and hit the target.
"Look at the movement of my hand and the trajectory of kunais. Once your observation skills are good enough, you can perform the same feat as me."
Itachi reminds Sasuke. Sasuke looks at Itachi with disinterest.
"Big-brother Itachi, can you perform the Shurikenjutsu technique used by Big Brother Izuna....you know what I mean, by just using one shuriken he directed the trajectory of all kunais. Can you do that Itachi nii-san?"
Sasuke questions Itachi. Itachi hangs his head low in embarrassment and replies,
"I still can't do that. It requires very precise calculations, but I will be able to do it in a few more days."
"Then you are no fun, Itachi nii-san. Teach me something else, which I don't know." Sasuke turns his head away and walks towards Naruto.
Itachi sighs and looks at Sasuke's back.
"I am not a good big brother. I can't even train my little brother. What would big brother Izuna do in this case?"
Izuna laughs again as he clutches his stomach.
'This is way too hilarious. The genius Itachi is struggling to teach his younger brother. At least, there is something out there which Itachi is not good at.'
He jumps from the tree and walks towards the group.
Shisui and Itachi notice him.
"Big brother Izuna, you are back? It has been a while since I last saw you."
Shisui walks in front of Izuna and curiously looks at him.
"You must have trained away from the village for a year while doing your mission. I want to see how strong I am in your comparison. Let's have a spar Izuna nii-san."
Shisui proposes a spar between them.
"It's a good idea, Shisui. I also want to see the progress of both you and Itachi."
Izuna jumps back and takes a fighting stance.
"Come at me, both of you. Shisui and Itachi, both of you join fight with me together."
Naruto and Sasuke near a corner of the training ground and excitedly look at their fight.
"Sasuke, who do you think will among them? Dattebyo!" Naruto questions Sasuke.
"Is there even a need to ask? Even a retard could guess the result. Obviously, Izuna nii-san will win the spar. Even if he is fighting against Shisui and Itachi nii-san, Izuna nii-san is a lot stronger than both of them." Sasuke smugly folds his hands in front of his chest.
"Oh! Is that so?... Hey! What do you mean by this? Do you want to say that I am a retard?" Naruto grabs the collar of Sasuke.
"Do you want a beating, you knucklehead?" Sasuke clutches Naruto's hand.
"Oh! Yeah, you smartass. I will beat your ass." Naruto and Sasuke engage in a fight.
Boom…
Their fight is interrupted by a large explosion. Both of them leave each other's collars and look at the spar.
Itachi made some hand signs and fired a 'Great Fireball Technique' at Izuna.
Izuna jumps and avoids the jutsu. Shisui makes some hand signs and shouts,
"Wind Style: Vacuum bullet"
The wind amplifies the fireball jutsu and creates a much bigger Fireball.
Boom…
The fireball rams in Izuna. Dust and debris cover their vision. Shisui and Itachi take out their kunai and raises their guard.
Various kunais and shurikens attack them. Both of them skilfully deflect all kunais and shurikens.
"Behind you."
Shisui warns Itachi. Itachi turns around and folds his hand to block a kick from Izuna. The impulse from the kick sends him flying away.
'Shadow body Flicker'
Shisui disappears, and multiple shadow clones surround Izuna. They start to constantly attack Izuna as Shisui shifts his position within the real clones and the afterimage clones.
'So, Shisui has mastered this technique. He has officially become 'Shisui of the Body Flicker.'
Izuna continue to block Shisui's attack and praises him,
"You have come a long way, Shisui. You have successfully mastered this technique and even improved it to pair with shadow clones. Well done!"
"Thank you, Izuna nii-san. Victory will be ours."
"Oh! Don't get too ahead of yourself. This is just warm-up for three of us."
Izuna throws a shuriken at the various afterimages and clones and makes some hand signs.
'Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu'
Several shurikens appear in front of him and attack Shisui. All of his afterimages and clones disappear. The real Shisui blocks the shurikens with a kunai and appears in front of Izuna.
Itachi also joins him, and both of them look at each other and nod.
"Wow, so awesome. Izuna nii-san, Shisui nii-san, and Itachi nii-san are so awesome. Dattebyo!" Naruto claps his hand in astonishment.
"They were just doing some warm-up. The actual fight hasn't even started. None of them have even activated their Sharingan yet." Sasuke chides Naruto.
"Oh! Is that so? I thought they were seriously fighting against each other." Naruto scratches his head in embarrassment.
"That's why you are a knucklehead."
"What did you say? Mind repeating." Naruto angrily glares at Sasuke.
Sasuke turns towards Naruto and looks him in eyes,
"Naruto, you are a big idiot!"
"You have done it, Sasuke." Naruto punches towards Sasuke. Sasuke easily avoids the punch. Both of them engage in another round of their catfight.
Itachi and Shisui seriously look at each other and nod.
"It's time to show our year's worth of extensive training to Izuna nii-san."
"Yes, Big brother Shisui. We have worked hard, it is time to test the results."
'Sharingan…'
Both of them activate their Sharingan and close the gap between them.
'Oh! Itachi has a three tomoe Sharingan. He must have worked hard to master his Sharingan.'
Itachi and Shisui engage in a Taijutsu fight with Izuna. He blocks their kicks with his hands and returns the favor by kicking them away.
Shisui and Itachi somersaults in the air and prevents their descent. Itachi makes some hand signs,
'Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu'
He fires off many small fireballs at Izuna.
'Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu'
Izuna creates a water dragon. The water dragon fires many water bullets at the fireballs and cancels them. Itachi jumps and avoids the water bullets.
'Oh! It's a distraction. So, where is Shisui?'
Shisui pops out of Izuna's shadow and tries to stab him.
'Shadow Assassination'
"Nice try! But I was a former Anbu Captain. So, I am still your senior."
Izuna kicks Shisui away.
"You can't use Anbu techniques against an Anbu."
"Got you," Shisui smirks and disappears in a puff of smoke.
Boom…
A large explosion engulfs Izuna. Shisui appears beside Itachi and stares at the explosion.
"Get ready to engage. It can't be over this easily."
Izuna appears unscathed from the explosion. Earth wall crumbles around him while he is holding a stack of paper bombs in his hand.
Izuna's left hand is coated in lightning chakra which nullifies the explosive chakra of paper bombs. He throws away the paper bomb and looks at them.
"Come on! Is this the best you can do? I have trained both of you in many jutsu and techniques, use them against me. If it is the extent of your growth, then I am disappointed." Izuna disappears from their vision and reappears in front of them.
He punches both of them in the gut.
"Finally, we caught you in our trap." Two of them smirks at Izuna.
Shisui's body turns into lightning and binds Izuna. Itachi turns into many crows and flies away.
The real Itachi and Shisui appear from the ground and cautiously look at Izuna. There is a sealing formula below Izuna that roots him to the spot. The lightning binds him with the sealing formula.
"We have laid this trap while fighting you. It was very difficult to pull off. But we successfully pulled it off…
How is it? That's our co-operation, Ninjutsu. It is still a work in progress." Shisui looks at Izuna in anticipation.
"Not bad! You got me. It is indeed an excellent technique. But there are many flaws to it. And I think you have forgotten one crucial factor.
Let me remind you, I am a Sealing Grandmaster. Such messy sealing formula won't be able to hold me."
Izuna riles up his chakra and the sealing formula crumbles.
------
A figure appears behind Naruto and Sasuke and pulls their ear.
Aww… Aww…
Both of them shriek in pain and look at the intruder. They are stunned to see the intruder and stutter. After stuttering for a while, only a single phrase escape from their mouth.
"How?"
