Uchiha Change

Chapter 26- Fate and Destiny

Naruto, Kushina and Natsumi looked at the crowd, the ones that paid to see which country was the strongest. Who do go to when they need the help of a shinobi. Natsumi was looking for Sasuke, but Naruto just looked at her, telling her that he wasn't there and to look at the crowd.

"Thanks for coming to the hidden leaf chuunin selection exam," Hiruzen said while looking at the group of genin "We'll start the tournament, between the twelve participants. Please stay and watch until the end!!"

"Alright guys," a Jonin said with a needle in his mouth, his headband was around his head, covering the top of his head "The arena is different, but the rules are the same, so I don't need to explain them, but I will. You fight until one of you dies or surrender, I can step into any match and stop it, got that,"

The elven teens just looked at him. Naruto was trying to remember his name, but he hadn't said, so he deemed it not important.

"Now the first match, Neji Hyuga and Naruto Uchiha,"

The crowd started to talk among themselves. The famed Uchiha clan against the Hyuga. The two boys just stared at each other, Naruto was waiting for Neji to try and tell him about fate and destiny.

"Neji, not going to try and tell me about fate and destiny... or do you fear that I'll do what Kushina did?" Naruto mocked while making five shadow clones. Naruto sent his clones to fight Neji, it was a good way to get information about your enemy's skill level. With a quick genjutsu to make bend the light around himself, so Neji couldn't see him. An Akumu genjutsu, he wouldn't know what it was nor would he be able to break it. He didn't make the clones strong, since he knew Neji could get a big head.

So when all his clones were destroyed by the gentle fist, he somewhat knew his weakness. That one spot above his shoulders.

"Is this all an Uchiha has, no wonder they were killed off," Neji mocked. When training Natsumi, Kushina and Naruto, mostly trained with Tenten and Lee. So Neji didn't know his skill set. A hard knock to the head, sent the brunette to the other side of the field and into the wall.

"Is really a place for that?" the raven said looking at the brushed Hyuga "If we're bring up the Uchiha's failures, why don't I bring up the Hyuga's. You make the Uchiha look like social butterflies, all of you have sticks up your asses, so please tell me... how does it feel to be part of clan, that's more paranoid than the Uzumaki?"

"You know nothing," Neji shouted

"The Hyuga curse of hatred? And here people thought it was only the Uchiha who suffered it," Naruto said his voice blink, but he was laughing, he was pissed "The Uchiha was hated for that curse of hatred, too see that one of the most loved clans, also suffers it. It's far too funny,"

"You know?"

"There are time I hate my grandfather," Naruto said "It seems that he loved making seals to make other people's lives shitty as all hell. The Caged Bird seal was just another one. The Akumu clan loved scaring people, but others loved mind control... my grandfather was one of them,"

"Is that true Kushina?" Natsumi asked the raven next to her. She knew Naruto and Kushina were siblings, but no one else did, since they went by different last names "Did you grandfather make this seals?"

"Naruto and I are siblings," Kushina said while looking at the two arguing boys, Neji was shocked. She didn't blame him. Her grandfather was the reason, he lost his father, lost his freedom "Our grandfather made seals, yes. However until like the Uzumaki, his where about controlling the mind,"

"So the Akumu clan were into seals," Shikamaru said the girl's eye darkened for a second and she looked at him with a blink stare.

"We're cousins to the Uzumaki clan... and the Akumu were good with seals, that this until they were wiped off the face of the earth," Kushina told him, she was going to have to change some facts, like how many got away from the attack "A few got away, not many went by the last name, not wanting to be killed. It's the same with Uzumaki these days, sadly, both clans have been forgotten and their history means nothing,"

"Come on Neji, let's forget this talk and come fight me," Naruto told him, he had already set up a genjutsu. He would know the Uchiha genjutsu, but not the Akumu. He and Kushina had put on Hiruzen and Jiraiya.

He didn't think about when he ran to the raven, but then he was looking at his dad. No one knew what was going on, besides he fact that Naruto was called the winner, since Neji had fainted.

--

Naruto went to the infirmary, he had to leave the two. To make sure that he didn't lose the match, but now he could help Neji. Make him see that it wasn't fate and destiny that controlled things, but your own actions.

"Hello... you must Hizashi Hyuga," Naruto said as he went back into his Mirana. Seeing Neji's father, a copy of his twin, he could understand why cloud fell for their trick. A soft smile was on Hizashi's face as he looked at his son, but when he saw the deep rooted hatred he stopped.

"Neji... guess, I can tell you my reasons," Hizashi said while looking at his son, the boy hadn't moved "The main family didn't kill me, I chose to save my brother,"

"I see,"

"Neji, he didn't want it to happen," Hizashi sighed wondering what he could to do to help his son "He wanted to be the one who died. Hiashi never cared about the main family, he didn't want me to go, because I had you to think of,"

"Hizashi, I'll just show him,"

--

When Neji woke up, his injures where gone, but so was Naruto. Hiashi walked into the room, but he already knew what the man wanted to tell him "Don't worry, Naruto has already shown me,"

"I'm sorry, Neji, I should have stopped him," Hiashi said. It was one of the things he never forgave himself with "Also, Hinata wants to start training with you, I hope you don't mind,"

"Of course not,"
