A/N: Sorry about the long wait but between writer's block and real life stories did not want to flow. When this story started only Xiaolin Showdown existed but I will integrate some elements of Xiaolin chronicles.
Chapter Two
The night that Naruto became the heir of Chase Young another spirit chose to act by appearing above a girl the same age as Naruto. The girl is Hinata Hyūga, her hair is dark blue cut in a short leveled hime style with chin-length strands framing her face and fair skin. Floating above her sitting cross legged as if meditating the spirit is wearing a black martial art coat and white martial art pants. He is bald with yellow tinted skin.
The spirit reaches out and taps Hinata's forehead "Wake up little one." She begins to stir revealing that she is wearing a simple girls night dress and her eyes are solid white with a hint of lavender. As her eyes fall upon the spirit the beginning of a scream forms. He quickly places his fingers on her lips to stop the scream while saying "Shh, I am not here to hurt you little one. In fact I am here to help you grow stronger so that you may be with the one you wish to be with." When he is sure she will not scream he moves his finger away from her lips.
The first sound out of her mouth is a question. "Who are you Spirit-san? And why do you want to help me?" Hinata asks in a quiet voice.
"I am Grand Master Dashi and Xiaolin Dragon of the Wind. As to why I wish to help you I see great potential in you. Also your destiny is closely tied to the one that an old friend has chosen as his heir. And with that act a window of opportunity opens to let me help restore the balance. So I am here to bestow upon you my knowledge. Will you except it?"
Hinata sits there for several moments as she tries to take in all that has been said. Her eyes gain a look of determination as she looks the Dashi in the eyes "Yes, I will except your knowledge Dashi-sensei."
"Good, now rest little one for you the world will be different in the morning." He places his hands in a ram seal and becomes a ball of yellow energy that quickly speeds into Hinata's chest knocking her unconscious with the only sign that something has changed is the slight yellow tint Hinata has gained to her fair skin.
In the morning Dashi was right for with his help she began to except the display of power of the Jūken (gentle fist) that her farther made to save her life when she was three and began to understand the sacrifice her uncle made shortly after. With these revelations firmly set in her mind her training in the way of the Xiaolin Dragon can start with the way of earth to aid in her training of Jūken.
Since her father has all but giving up on her training for sister Hanabi's. Hinata was able to progress through Earth style quickly and all but mastered Water style by the end of the first year. Half way through the first year after a sparring match with Hanabi that was refereed by their father. He called Hinata into his office and was surprised which he quickly hide behind the Hyūga stoicism at the fact that she did not go into her usual submissive 'I have done something wrong' way of kneeling but instead kneeled with her back straight and looking him in the eye with a determination he had not seen in her for many years.
"You called for me father." Hinata spoke pulling Hiashi from his thoughts.
"Yes. I saw in your last spar with your sister that your proficiency in Jūken had made a significant jump since your previous spar with Hanabi. I want to know what caused it because such a jump is unexpected giving your previous rate of progression in our families style." Hiashi spoke the question more as a statement with an intimidating stare.
"All I can say is I have recently come to understand Jūken in a way I had not understood it before." she responded seemingly unaffected by his stare.
"Oh, and what brought about this new found understanding of Jūken, Hinata?" asked Hiashi with a little bit of his curiosity bleeding in to his voice for a moment.
Hinata closed her eyes as she thought how to answer the question. After several moments she opened her eyes with a calming breath. She responded "When I was looking in the taijutsu section of the ninja library I found a very old taijutsu style that shares several elements with Jūken. It was a style primarily used to focused ones energy with combat as a secondary use. In learning this style I learned something about Jūken that seems to be untouched or ignored in all of the scrolls for Jūken in the clan library and yet is the key to mastering Jūken."
"What pry tale is this key that our ancestors who wrote those scrolls left out my daughter?" Hiashi asked with a hint of curiosity and amusement bleeding in to his voice once again.
"That key farther, is that Jūken is a taijutsu style that is alined with the element of earth and only one who has an affinity for earth chakra can truly take it to it's limit and beyond. An affinity I seem to lack but this understanding has allowed me to take my skill in Jūken closer to where it should be." Hinata responded.
"Hmm, and what is the name of this style?" Hiashi asked as he closed his eyes in thought.
"The name of the style has been lost to history so it is simply known as The Way of Earth." She quickly responded.
"Thank you. You may go daughter." He said as his attention seemingly turns towards the paperwork on his desk.
"Hai farther." Hinata spoke as she stood followed with a bow and left the room.
'She did not tell me everything about the source of her new found understanding of Jūken. Though I saw no lie, so what she did tell me was true but it was not the whole truth. Hmm, I must look into this Way of Earth style perhaps then I will better understand the change in my eldest.' He thought as he looked at the paperwork on his desk but not at it
Deep in the forest of the Land of Fire the same night Chase and Dashi chose their heirs a third spirit appeared before a girl about the same age as Naruto and Hinata. The girl has black hair in a top-knot like bun with two bangs framing her face. Her fair skin has a light tan to it. She is wearing a faded blue and gray kimono that would be found in the Land of Water. As she sleeps with a bag as her pillow, the flames of her camp fire rise and fall in time with her breathing.
The spirit is a tall muscular good-looking man with a bald head and square jaw. He is wearing orange monk robes with the right arm and shoulder bare. He takes in a large breath and yells "Wake Up!"
Her eyes snap open causing the flames of the fire spike blue for a moment and sees the spirit standing there looking at her with a smug smirk on his face. She suddenly throws a kunai at his face then rolls away from him into a standing ready stance with a kunai in each hand in an ice-pick grip. "Who the hell are you? And what do you want?" she asks with a hint of fear in her voice.
Pleased with her reaction to the sudden awakening, he takes a closer look at her and sees that her eyes are gold in color and seems to have a rounded diamond shaped pupil instead of the normal round one. 'So that is why I was pulled to her, dragon blood flows through her veins.' he thinks as his smirk goes from smug to amused.
Emitting a low growl "What's so damn funny and who the hell are you?"
"Tsk tsk tsk a child like yourself should not be using such language. As to who am I. I am Master Monk Guan. And to what I want. That is to help you."
"Why do you want to help me? And what do you want for this help?"
"The why is simple. I am a spirit and can no longer affect this world" his form shimmers and wavers for a moment "but someone I once called friend has chosen an heir in this world making an opportunity for myself and another to do the same. So I have chosen you to bestow my knowledge upon and in doing so I will change the ability of your eyes so it is truly yours and will not need the dark act to reach their ultimate form. And all I ask in return is for you to help the other two restore the balance of this world."
"Balance there is no balance in this world. If there were that man would not have done that thing to my mother or that mob that took my mom away from me." her rage causes the fire to become blue and almost double in height.
Guan's eyes focus on the blue flames as they calm back done. "Your mother named you well. It is sad what happened to her but the purge that took her was caused by the one who acts to destroy the balance I speak of. That is why such drastic action as letting three spirits affect the world for this night is happening at all. Now will you take my help child?"
As she adsorbs his words she stares in to the now low flames remembering the happy times with her mother. Followed by the memory of the faceless mob that took the once proud woman from her and the scorched earth and trees that marked their passing. She raises her eyes to look at him with a mix of cold rage and determination in her eyes and form. "Yes I will accept your help and I will restore balance to this world."
"Good, follow this road and you will soon reach the Fire Temple. When you get there knock and show you have patience by waiting for them to answer. Tell them that Master Monk Guan sent you and when the time comes you are to go to Konoha to become a kunoichi."
"Why the village hidden in the leaves?"
"Because that is where you will find the other two who were touched this night. Also when you speak with the Hokage you must tell him who your father is. I know he has no right to claim the title but you must admit that is what he is. Feel free to tell how he is also. Will you do that when the time comes?"
"Yes." she responds as her body stiffens for a moment.
"Good. Now wake up and run." he says as the fingertips of his right hand touches her forehead. Which causes her to jerk awake as if it was a dream but unknown to her five dots in the pattern of a five pointed star appear on her forehead for a moment. Then she hears a sound of someone or something coming her general direction causing her to heed the spirits advice by grabbing her bag and running.
How long she was running she couldn't tell you but when the Fire Temple came in to view she redoubled her efforts. 'Maybe it wasn't a dream but lets see if what he said gets me in the door.' she thought. As she approached the main gate she saw it was about as tall as three or four men and wide enough that four men could walk through it shoulder to shoulder. 'There is something weird about this gate beyond the tengu on the sides. So lets see what that is.' with that thought she closes her eyes and focuses her chakra. They snap open revealing the chakra infused in the gate and tengu forming a barrier. 'Hmm, better hid my eyes before anybody sees them. Also if I am going to admit who my father is I better get as close to mastering my eyes as I can get before I show up on his door. Now lets see if that dream was real or not.' With a calming breath she knocks on the gate and then steps back to sit and wait for someone to open it.
She wasn't sure how long it was before the gate opened but when she looked at who had opened it she had a look of determination on her face. The monk who opened the gate is a bald man with thick eyebrows and is wearing a white loose-fitting kimono with a gray sash over his left shoulder but what caught her attention was the sash on his hip with the kanji for fire on it marking him as one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja.
"I am Chiriku. Who are you young one and why are you here?"
"I am Azula and Master Monk Guan sent me here to train until it is time for me to go to Konoha and become a kunoichi."
Chiriku looks her up and down before speaking "Well then you have a lot of work ahead of you but first come in and lets get you properly cleaned, feed, and rested before we start your training. And welcome to the Fire Temple." as he opened the gate more to let her in.
Naruto began to awaken the morning after sealing the Kyūbi into a Shen-Gong-Wu feeling a level content he has never known existed. As he basks in this new feeling he becomes aware of the arm draped over him and his own hand holding the unknown person's hand. Old fears flood his mind before he squashed them down with a calming breath sensing that it is Wuya who holds him. He decides to enjoy the feelings of contentment and warmth that being in her arms brings him. Soon he began to drift back to sleep when his eyes snapped open in realization 'Shit with the influx of the fox's chakra I'll have to remaster everything especially my control. Hmm, I better get up then.' Naruto thought as he began a slow turn to face Wuya and give her a kiss to wake her up.
She stirred for a moment and then cuddled into him. "Five more minutes Naruto-kun. I'm comfy." she mumbled in response.
"Ok but I need to get up and start retraining in all my skills and I only have about two years and then some to remaster everything." he said as he reluctantly pried himself out off her arms to begin his long day of training.
'Six years. It has been six long years since Master Monk Guan came to me and showed me to the Fire Temple. And now I stand before the great gates of Konoha followed soon by my so called father.' Azula thinks as she looks at the line to enter Konoha. "Well Chiriku-sensei lets get this started."
"Yes, lets." Chiriku responded as he started toward the check-in desk gaining the attention of the on station chūnin. Who noticed that both Chiriku and the fifteen year old Azula are wearing the robes of the Fire Temple.
"How can I help you Monk-san?" asked the random chūnin stuck on gate duty.
"I need to speak with Hokage-sama concerning this young lady's situation." said Chiriku as he handed the chūnin their entry papers.
"Well everything appears to be in order. The Hokage Tower is down the main road here. Have a nice stay in Konoha." responded the chūnin.
"Thank you. Come Azula." he said as they began their walk to the Hokage Tower.
The Hokage is taking a break from the horror that is paperwork by reading a little orange book while giggling. Before he could turn the page his office was illuminated by a column of green fire causing the ANBU guards to take up the defensive stance they had taken the last time the green flames appeared six years ago. He quickly hides the book as the flames die down revealing Wuya in all her glory and who he hopes to be Naruto having grown almost as tall as Wuya and gaining black streaks with red highlights in his hair while wearing unknown but impressive armor complete with a mask covering the lower half of his face. "Wuya and Naruto I presume."
"Yeah old man it's me." answers Naruto as he removes his mask revealing his whisker marks.
"Good. ANBU back to your stations." ordered the Hokage.
"But sir." protested one of the ANBU.
"How rude." spoke Wuya as she gave the ANBU a closer look. "Wait, aren't you the one I through into the wall last time I was here for being rude." she said as she raises her the same way she had then causing the ANBU who spoke to disappear in a swirl of leaves. The others quickly follow suit using ninja speed.
"Well now that that's out of the way. How are you my boy?" ask the old man as he pulls out his pipe and lights it with a quick application of fire nature chakra.
"I'm good and a lot stronger then I use to be old man. Also I want what's mine." Naruto says as he sits in the chair in front of the Hokage's desk.
"Good good glad to hear. I expected as much." he said as he stood up and walked over to the picture of the Fourth Hokage. Biting his thumb hard enough to draw blood he quickly swipes it across the picture revealing a seal as it absorbs the blood before disappearing again. He removes the picture revealing a safe in the wall. Promptly opens it pulls some papers and a small case out and closes it back up and places the picture back. He sits down placing the papers on the desk in front of Naruto. "So I started the paperwork for you to take ownership of your parents' property and finances. However you wont have full access to the finances until you have either become a ninja or turn eighteen due to not being recognized as an adult until you have reached one of those points. I am curious when did you figure out that the Fourth was your father?"
"Just now when you told me." Naruto answered causing the old man to choke on some smoke from his pipe.
"What?!"
"Oh don't get me wrong. I had suspected that Minato Namikaze was my father for awhile. Take away the black and red from my hair and the whisker marks from my cheeks and he and I could almost be twins. But I'm not sure who my mother is."
"Her name was Kushina Uzumaki and she was the container to the Kyūbi no Kitsune before you. They were both so happy when they learned she was pregnant with you. And since you are the last of two clans you qualify for the CRA or Clan Restoration Act. Which allows you to have multiple wives so keep an eye out for the ladies you might like. So if you could sign those papers. This case holds all you need to get in to the house you should of grown up in. And we'll talk more later about your parents and your enrollment into the academy." Naruto quickly looks over the papers before signing and handing them back. The old man looks over them one last time before adding the Hokage seal. "With that welcome home Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze Young. Though I do ask that you keep who your father is quiet from the general public until after I have announced it."
"Yes I doubt they would believe me anyway. So dinner at my place? We can have that talk then."
"That sounds good I shall see you then. Now would you two please excuse me I do have another meeting waiting for me." the Hokage says as he stands and shows them to the door to his office.
As they leave Naruto locks eyes with a young woman about his age with gold eyes and rounded diamond shaped pupils wearing the robes of the Fire Temple. All the while his instincts are screaming for him to claim her causing a fox like lady-killer smile to unknowingly appear on his face revealing one of his fang like teeth. In reaction she responds with a little bit of color on her cheeks and her own smile revealing one of her fang like teeth. Causing Naruto's instincts to scream even louder for him to claim her. Then as fast as it had begun the moment had ended leaving both of them with the thought 'I need to find out who he/she is.' As she entered the Hokage's office and he continued heading towards the home he should of grow up in. Naruto whispers to Wuya "Any idea why my instincts were screaming at me to make her mine?"
"Two actually one she is strong and appears to match your taste in women and two the blood of dragons flows through her veins. And no that does not mean she is a descendent of Chase. She is most likely the descendent of one or more Xiaolin Dragon warriors who took their dragon partner as their husband or wife." Wuya whispers back thinking ' Hm looks like she was touched by a spirit in a similar way to Naruto.' "Come lets see our new home so we can properly break it in before we entertain the idea of my possible new harem sister." she whispers in his ear before teleporting them outside in a column of green fire.
The Hokage is sitting back at his desk as Chiriku and Azula enter and close the door. "Greetings Hokage-sama I am Chiriku of the Fire Temple and this is"
"Azula Hayabusa"
"and she would like to become a citizen of Konoha and finish her training to become a kunoichi of the Leaf." With that said Chiriku and Azula sit as the Hokage and Chiriku begin discussing her situation in more detail including her training at the Fire Temple and their assessment of her skill level.
"Well that seems like a sound plan unless the young lady objects to spending a year at the academy?"
"I have no objection Hokage-sama but I do have a question. Who was that young man we pasted outside your office? Azula asked while she suppressed her new found hunger for the blonde with black and red streaked hair.
Chuckling at the look of hunger in her eyes the Hokage responds "That is Naruto Uzumaki Young. He has recently returned to the village and will most likely be in the same class as you young lady. You better stake your claim on him soon because you'll have competition for him soon enough." 'Ah to be young again.' thought the Hokage as he saw the dusting of color on her checks from his teasing. Though the piercing look she sent Chiriku for his laughter at her reaction caused him to stop his own chuckling.
With the two so called adults silenced from their teasing. Azula takes a deep breath to calm her nerves so she could ask the question that would start the chain of events that she has dreaded for six years. "Hokage-sama. Where my I find Shin'ichi Uchiha?"
"Hmm, what business do you have with Shin'ichi Uchiha?"
Taking another deep breath to calm her nerves she answers "He is my father by way of rape." The reactions were mostly shock with some killer intent mixed in from the hidden ANBU. Thou Chirku's was the most mild given he was only reacting to who her father is, as the subject of her mother's rape came up with the subject of "The Talk". The Hokage was coughing on the smoke he had choked down in his shock.
"That is a bold claim to be an Uchiha from outside the village. What proof do you have?" the Hokage asks as looks at her with a critical eye seeing no lie from her.
"My only proof is this." she responds as she closes her eyes then snaps them open to reveal a three tomoe Sharingan but instead of the normal red field with a black ring, black tomoes, and black pupils. Hers is a black field with a red ring, red tomoes, and red rounded diamond pupils.
"Well that certainly looks like a fully mature Sharingan but the colors are reversed. Care to explain young lady." He says before taking a puff out of his pipe.
"When I first unlocked it it was a normal one tomoe Sharingan but the stress of my mother's murder by mob and running from said mob awoke my Ryū-Ketsueki (dragon's blood). Which changed it to what you see now by the time I had reached the fire Temple. I call it the Ryū-Sharingan." She says as her eyes fade back to normal.
'Well her story seems plausible. I have heard of kekkei genkai changing when they are blended and the Ryū-Ketsueki is said to enhance the body in all things.' "Well I am inclined to believe you because of the reports I have of his character and events from around the time of your siring. Though I am unable to investigate or punish him for the rape of your mother as he and the rest of the Uchiha were massacred about eight years ago. Leaving only the two clan heirs, the eldest of which is responsible for the massacre." In response to the statement Azula's and Chirku's eyes widen as they process the information.
Azula's only thought on her father at the moment was 'He was dead almost a full year before I awoke my Sharingan.'
After giving them both a couple of minutes to absorb the information the Hokage continues to speak. "As a result I am only able to give you access to the Uchiha compound and funds. Though I do have a jōnin with an implanted Sharingan that I can have touch base with you. To help polish up your skill with your Sharingan if you want."
"That would be nice to speak with an experienced Sharingan user. We can see how mine compares to the original."
"Good I will set up a meeting. Now on to a more pressing matter. We need to inform Sasuke Uchiha of you being an Uchiha."
"If you deem it necessary Hokage-sama." Azula said almost dreading the encounter.
"I do. I have some concern about his reaction. So I want the reveal done in a controlled environment. ANBU."
The rude ANBU known as Nezumi (rat) appears "Hai."
"Retrieve Sasuke Uchiha and bring him here."
"Hai, Hokage-sama." he responds before disappearing in a swirl of leaves.
"While we wait I have some forms for you to fill out." he says as he hands Azula some paper.
Several minutes later Nezumi reappears in a swirl of leaves with a boy about Azula's age. He has black eyes and spiky black hair with a blue tint. Two bangs frame his face. He is wearing a navy blue short sleeve shirt with a high collar, white shorts, and the standard blue sandals. He gives off the air of indifference. Nezumi disappears shortly after letting go of the boy.
"You wish to see me Hokage-sama?"
"Yes, young Sasuke. The reason is there was an unknown Uchiha living outside the village at the time of the massacre." At the word massacre several images of men and women dead in pools of their own blood flash before Sasuke's eyes before he pushes them to the back of his mind.
"Who? Who is it?" Sasuke asks with a hints of hope and fear coloring his voice.
"Why this young lady here." the Hokage says he gestures to Azula. Causing Sasuke to see the other people in the room for the first time. As his eyes land on Azula her eyes fade in to her Ryū-Sharingan to prove the Hokage's point.
"That's the Sharingan alright but why are the colors backwards?" Sasuke asks with his eyes still locked on Azula's.
"It's because of her mother's kekkei genkai the Ryū-Ketsueki or Dragon's Blood. And the Ryū-Ketsueki is why I believe Shin'ichi forced himself on Azula's mother. It said that the Ryū-Ketsueki grants stamina second only to the Uzumaki clan but all I know for sure is members of the Hayabusa clan are generally stronger and tougher then most other ninjas of the same level of training."
When the Hokage said that Shin'ichi forced himself on her mother Sasuke's rage sealed his ears to the rest of what was said. Unleashing a small amount of killer intent he says through clenched teeth "You dare accuse an Uchiha of rape."
Azula squashes his killer intent with her own. "There is no dare. Shin'ichi raped my mother and the reports the Hokage has about him support this." She calmly states as the tomoes in her Ryū-Sharingan spin triggering a flashback of Itachi standing over his parents' bodies.
Sasuke screams "Itachi!" and lunges towards Azula. With a quick flourish of movement his face met floor the hard way. Hands behind his back with Azula pinning them and him down. The sudden change of direction combined with the impact seem to have knocked him out of his blind rage. As evident by his breathing returning to a slower pace. "I am okay now ANBU-san. Now release me." Sasuke ordered.
"I'll take it as a compliment that you feel my skill is superior to yours enough that you would mistake me for an ANBU cousin. But one must wonder where does a civilian get the idea that they are able to order ninja that answer only to the Hokage."
"Yes, indeed." the Hokage's tone causing Sasuke to bite back his retort to Azula's comment. "You can let him up now Azula-chan."
"Hai, Hokage-sama." she responded as she let up.
"Now Sasuke, I want you to show Azula to the Uchiha compound so she can get settled. Then I want you to show her around the village so she can get a feel for the layout. Now go I have work to do."
"Hai, Hokage-sama." Sasuke responds haven returned to giving an air of indifference.
"Thank you for your time Hokage-sama." Chirku says as he bows. After leaving the office he says to Azula "I'll catch up to you later Azula. I'm going to see if I can find my old friend Asuma for a drink or two."
"Okay sensei." she responds as she follows Sasuke to the Uchiha compound.
