Uchiha Change

Chapter Twenty-Seven- Seals and Bugs

The crowd were exited after the last battle. Hinata just wondered of her cousin was okay. Naruto had told her, that he had a way to help him. She also asked her father, if Neji would be allowed to join her for training.

“Natsumi and Shino, please come down,”

Natsumi looked at Shino was slowly making his way down. She just wanted to wait for Naruto, who appeared before she put her foot on the bars. She smiled at him and mouthed ‘good luck’ to her. Natsumi just jumped from the platform and faced her enemy.

During the month of training, Jiraiya had showed her some new seals. Ones that she was going to show Kushina, she didn’t care if they were for Uzumaki’s only. She was the clan head and no one was going to tell her, what to do with her clan’s seals.

“Natsumi, I don’t want to hurt you,” Shino said when he looked at the blonde. She just smiled and laughed. Shino used bugs, ones that ate at chakra. She wasn’t going to kill any of them, unless she can’t help it.

“Shino, we’re both stranger than people thought we were,” she said going into defence. Fighting was like a dance, but one you had to lead or your death was sure to follow. Natsumi was planning to lure Shino into a false sense of security and then she was going to get him “let’s dance, Shino,”

“She’s been around me too much,” Kushina muttered. It was how her father explained fights to her, so it was how she explained it to Natsumi.

Natsumi ran to the glass wearing boy, aiming a kick to his head. Shino ducked, but the girl quickly changed her path and hit his stomach. She quickly jumped away, but felt like something was taking away her chakra, she just smiled and unsealed one of her bracelets.

This gave Shino enough time to kick Natsumi in the ribs. No one saw this coming, since it was out of character for Shino. Natsumi landed on the ground, she wasn’t going to let Kushina or Naruto down, she was going to win this fight. Getting up, she felt bugs on her skin. Carefully, she used her wind nature to get them off.

“Shino, you won’t win,”

If anyone asked Shino or the crowd what happened next, no one would be able to tell you, since a ray of chakra blinded everyone and he was on his back, the girl standing one his back. He had failed, simply because he didn’t know any jutsu outside of his family’s style. This was something that he would have to change.

Kushina and Naruto just smiled. Natsumi was on her way to becoming a true seals master. One with the fourth, Jiraiya and most of the Uzumaki. The crowd cheered when Natsumi was called the winter, however, the next match had to wait, since the crowd would want to get something to eat. There would be a break between very two fights, for anyone who needed to do something.

“Well done, Natsumi,” Kushina said while pulling the girl into a hug. Shino was being taken away by the medias, they just wanted to make sure that the boy was okay. Tamari just looked at the raven, she was her enemy and she knew nothing about her.

The blonde tried asking around, but none of the villagers could say anything about her. She just popped up one day and started hanging around Natsumi, staring the Akumu clan. No one even knew who the Akumu were. She tried asking her father, but even he drew a blink.

There was nothing in the library, Suna or the Leaf. It was like the Kushina was the only Akumu, or her clan was thought to be killed off and no one thought of keeping records of them. Kushina on the other hand was smiling at the girl’s fuming.

The Uzumaki clan had some records, but they were also forgotten. So no one thought twice about the bat that was on one of the caves. If the Uzumaki were forgotten and they were gone since the beginning of the third shinobi war, then they weren’t going to know one from the Warring Era. With a smile, Kushina waited for her battle to be called.
