8 2 Years (1/2)
It was a fresh morning in Konoha and people started waking up, neighbours greeting each other and stalls being set up for the hecklers to sell their wares, shops preparing to open for business and children going to school or train. It was on such a day when the peace was disturbed.
*BOOM*
Everyone turned towards the direction of the explosion only to see pink smoke rising from the left side of the Hokage Mountain, none of the villagers seemed fearful or panicky, instead they had a expression of pity.
A shopkeeper started to talk ”That fellow is up to it again ey, didn't they catch the culprit yet, they don't even have face anymore, poor fools” , everyone around him started to nod with amused smiles on their faces.
At the explosion site you could see ANBU running out of a building shouting and screaming, it looked like a beehive that had its honey stolen. The strange thing is that their masks were replaced with clown faces and theirclothes were a variety of colours with a pink tutu over their shinobi gear.
”DAMN SHADOW, ONE DAY I'LL CATCH YOU AND SKIN YOU ALIVEYOU FUCK, FAN OUT AND TRY FIND THE BASTARD” The rest of the ANBU complied with the furious voice that came from inside the building and spread out in the surrounding to try and find the culprit, some tried to take off their masks or tutu but were unsuccessful, others had a resigned feeling at that and chose to give up, obviously whoever did it made it so that it wouldn't come off.
Such an occasion wasn't new to the ANBU, it had started 6 months ago,with pranks on selective shops and merchants such as repainting their whole store different colours that wouldn't go off for days on end, or making some of their products stuck on the aisles or too heavy to carry, the only thing that was left behind was a painting resembling the shadow of the victim.
After that it escalated into the clans, especially for the Uchiha and Hyuuga compounds, they had it the worst. Inuzukas would find their compound sprayed with pepper making their noses itchy and sneezing could be heard constantly. The Aburame would find their compound laced with a chemical that made their colony agitated and created chaos, it would also be followed by words being strewn all over the place such as ”We're silent but deadly” or ”Baby, You can come inside me anytime you want, these flies aint going nowhere”. The Nara would find their deers in different colours, and the Akamichi had their Food Warehouse locked for half a day, the Yamanakas would be the only one that haven't had a prank made on them, they just found a shadow painting of their clan head with a ”You'reBoring”, they didn't know if they were relieved or insulted.
Uchihas would have it the worst, they got pranked weekly, it would go from stink bombs to having a picture of a crosseyed sharingan with a ”Im Special” tag over their heads constantly following anyone that leaves the compound. Hyuugas only got pranked with having a pole tied to their backs, words such as ”I got this pole because of fate” or ”We're all pervets, we can see through your clothes” would be seen. Everyone agreed it was the worst for a conservative clan like them. However, no matter what happened they couldn't find the culprit which made most of them furious. Best prank of all was watching the Hokage drown in paperwork, making him scream bloody murder and staying overtime.
While the ANBU were searching for the culprit, one spotted a figure standing on top of the 4th Hokages head, he shunshined there to ask, when he arrived he saw a young kid with mixed blond and red hair, crystal clear blue eyes that made you feel like you would lose yourself in them if you stared too long, and fair skin that would even make a lady jealous, he wore standard shinobi sandals with black cargo pants and a blue jacket that is zipped up, he had a red scarf covering half his face and one end almost reaching the floor.
”Oh its you, have you seen anyone suspicious going through here?” seeing him shake his head he clicked his tongue and disappeared. The village had come to know of their demon being mute and some had tried to attack him, but all the people who tried would find their bones broken in different places the next day not knowing what happened. They had started calling him ”Shizuka” or Silent Night.
The boy standing there is Naruto, he turned back looking towards the whole village with amusement, its been 2 years since he started training with chakra and a lot happened since then, he trained everything he had on the list that he could, he mastered all the Ninjutsu on the list but the Rasengan variations and the Summoning techniques, He can make a Rasengan with a single hand thanks to his chakra control exercises and he mastered all his techniques to use them without handsigns, he learned how to mould chakra internally according to the technique, and he doesn't need to call out the name even though he couldn't because he already has control over his mental faculties so he doesn't need a name trigger to procure a mental image for the techniques.
He managed to commit his Taijutsu Elemental Art as muscle memory though he hadn't perfected the stances or created the Lightning stance, he didn't have anything to reference it with since he can't access any taijutsu style other than the academy one that he found in the Genin section of the library when he snuck in.
He couldn't work on Genjutsu with a lack of partner.
