Tohsaka as an Uchiha Quest (Naruto/FSN)

First attempt at an Omake ever. Enjoy @AoMythology

---

Your name is Uchiha Suiho, retired Jounin of Konoha, Husband to Uzumaki Korin, proud father of Shisui and Rin.

Rin continues to astound you. Hampered on creating a normal clone due to her high chakra density she made a water clone. And an earth clone. While hearing how Rin pranked her mother was amusing and assuaged your heart that she still had her childhood, it is also cause for worry.
For now Korin believes Rin to be waternatured. It is only a matter of time for that lie to be revealed. And Korin was never one to downplay achievements. More likely she'll brag about her genius daughter during her next shopping trip with Yui-San. Once she finds out Rin already has finished all five elemental transformations it won't be long and the whole Clan will know.

Which is why you and Shisui are keeping it a secret. Fugaku would pressure you more than he already does to get her trained faster.

What you fear most though is what happens once Korin finds out you have deceived her. The woman has a temper as you have just recently been reminded. It turns out Rin found a relative with her sensory talent. The explosion upon Rin telling Korin about him was completely unexpected. It seems the Hokage has lied about him to Korin. You have never seen her so furious - not even when Shisui had accidentally destroyed a keepsake from her mother - and barely managed to keep her from doing something shortsighted for now. You only hope that her newfound anger does not drive her to extremes.

Meanwhile Rin continues to befriend her newfound relative who turned out to be the host of the Kyubi. While you do not hold the boy accountable for what the beast did, you know not all share your sentiment. There certainly will be coming some trouble from this, but you will not forbid her from seeing a - however distant - relative. And it is amusing to watch her fail to find the boy hiding inside the leaves. You smile at remembering that sight. Maybe you should teach her how to hide better though. Especially how to hide her chakra from sensors. It has increased by quite a bit the last year after all.

-----

You had been warned.

Your sister, who has a preternatural intuition, warned you off one-eyed men. And what do you do?

You pretty much get killed anyway!

You were on guard even after you killed Danzo-sama, which saved both your eyes after his Izanagi, though it had you off balance. Then, you very nearly fell victim to a Yamanaka's kinjutsu, which forced you off balance further; finally, THAT FUCKING ABURAME!

There's no time; you have to reach Itachi and write a letter or two. You can't warn the Hokage- no, wait. Your infection by the Aburame's Nanoinsects isn't as bad as it could have been, thanks to Rin's warning. It will accelerate your death, but....

Shadow Clone jutsu!

-----

You reach the Hokage's residence, avoiding every ANBU, since they might be compromised by Danzo-sama- no, Danzo. When you reach his room, Hokage-sama is awake and anticipating you; he is a better sensor than you are, that's for sure.

He says, "Shisui? Why are you here at this hour? Did the Uchiha...?"

"No," you say, out of breath, "Danzo-sama."

The Third Hokage straightens up and says, "tell me everything."

"Mission failed, Hokage-sama. Danzo... intercepted me, then tried to steal my eyes. The- then, he had an Aburame infect me with Nanoinsects," you tell him, barely keeping from dispelling.

"I see. Should I assume that you are a Shadow Clone, then?" The Hokage says.

You nod.

He asks to examine you medically. You nod again, and his hands light up green.

He checks the damage to your 'body' and says, voice full of grief, "your original should have come straight to me. There was a chance-"

"Heh. We both know that only your female student could ha- have done anything against tho- those things Hokage-sama," you say, your vision starting to fade.

"Wait, Shisui. Is there anything else you can tell me?" Hokage-sama says, sounding a bit shaken.

"His... arm... felt... many... Sharingan... and superb... life-force," you manage to get out of your mouth.

"Rest, Shisui. You have earned it. Once I can pin something on him, Danzo will be dead or at least an S-class missing-nin," the Hokage says solemnly.

There's more words from the man, but you can't manage to make them out except something about Mokuton and Orochimaru.

Poof!

-----

You are in front of Itachi; it was very easy to find him, near the Naka river, where you first taught him about Genjutsu and how to throw shuriken.

You explain what happened as quickly as you can, and ask for something extremely important. You say, "please, Itachi - make sure that my sister comes out of this situation intact. Promise me."

"I promise, Shisui," Itachi says, very shaken.

"I want you to swear it on what you hold most important," you say, very much serious.

"I swear on Sasuke's life that Uchiha Rin will come out of this situation intact," Itachi says, voice solemn and slightly less broken.

"Thank... you...," you say, and remove both your eyes, your pain tolerance being enough that you barely react. "Give them to Rin, when she's re- ready for them (cough)," you then say.

You hear an, "I will," from Itachi, before you plunge a kunai into your own throat, using the ANBU-style jutsu for elimination of your own body seallessly afterwards.

Itachi's panicked cries and 'evolving' Chakra assure you that your gambit worked.

-----

You've been Head of the Uchiha clan from the age of twenty-six. You've lived through two World Shinobi Wars, one as a child, one as a Clan Head.

You have viewed the entire Clan as your family since a young age, so this situation... this- clusterfuck, hits you all the harder.

It's not like you set out to engineer a Coup d'Etat.

At first, you tried to make the rest of the village, especially Sarutobi and Danzo, see sense, only to be blocked and practically spat at at every turn.

Now it's Sarutobi who is trying to make YOU 'see sense'.

Now, if only Itachi listened to you! Perhaps that is the burden of having a genius as a child.

On the other hand, Sasuke reminds you of yourself the most. You weren't a natural genius either, and struggled to get your parents' attention.

Unfortunately, you can't afford to give him that attention with the situation as it is. You've turned into your father, or maybe even Hiashi. The old Hiashi, before his eyes were opened the year before last. Now that's a man who saw his family as shogi pieces.... Hah! When is the last time you smiled?

Either way, you can tell Sasuke is smart and has heaps of talent -in some (many?) ways, more talent than Itachi; Itachi couldn't manage a Great Fireball of THAT level of power after a week when he was six, even though it only took him a single try to get it decently powerful- but Sasuke has to work hard for his achievements first, unlike the incredibly fast learner who is his brother. Not that Itachi doesn't work hard - he simply has never struggled with a new concept like you often did.

You wonder if Sasuke inherited Mikoto's incredible Lightning affinity - he is quite good at using the Fire element, unlike her, which he proved by learning the Great Fireball so quickly. You are so very proud of him….

He is the future of the Uchiha clan - as is Rin, for that matter, even if she's more similar to Itachi and Shisui both than you are comfortable with.

And speaking of Shisui... what the hell! You know that his loyalties were divided, but to kill himself, leaving his sister and parents behind...?

There is something more to this, and it has nothing to do with Yashiro's idiotic claims. You just hope the idiot will listen to your warning and won't provoke Itachi; you know what an Uchiha in the grasp of grief is capable of, and Itachi's skill is undeniable.

Yashiro -and whoever he brings with him- will likely be ripped to pieces if that scenario comes to pass.

-----
-----

"Not a squirt," you say, "and I had a great teacher."

"Aww, shucks," Shisui tells you, honestly blushing.

Too bad you don't have a camera on hand to capture the moment, but those things aren't exactly… stealthy, anyway.

You still have a really bad feeling for Shisui, though. You tell him to be very careful, and to beware of one-eyed men; Kakashi can't be the only one with an implanted dojutsu covered by something.

He looks at you seriously, and promises to be very careful with such people.

-----

Fugaku-sama has made you and your father an offer: he is going to teach Sasuke the Great Fireball, and would like you to join the two of them to learn it too. You look at your father, but he tells you it's your decision. You decide to decline; the rite of passage is supposed to be done with one's close family, right?

You say, "thank you Fugaku-sama for the offer, but I feel I must decline - I know it is a great honor, but I'd rather follow tradition and learn from my father."

Fugaku-sama looks taken aback, but the expression changes to a small smile, the first one you've ever seen form on his face. He says, "perhaps I should have expected this; very well. Would you two be opposed to learning together, the four of us, instead? I would still teach Sasuke, and Suiho would still teach Rin; though, if you two are afraid of being shown up by Sasuke, I won't blame you," Fugaku says, this time smirking.

You nod at your father, and he nods back. You say, "we accept, Fugaku-sama," then cheekily add, "please tell Sasuke not to cry when he falls behind, though."

The last part makes Fugaku-sama chuckle, and he leaves you and Suiho to your devices.

Once the Clan Head leaves, Suiho puts his hands on your shoulders and says, "that was very brave, and very foolish, Rin - I'm not sure if it's more brave, or more foolish."

"Are you talking about me declining, or my taunting Fugaku-sama?" You ask him with a smirk.

"Both. Either," Suiho says, pacing around the living room. He then says, "be glad that he was amused rather than offended."

"Should I have accepted his first offer?" You ask in a small voice.

Suiho shakes his head and says, "I honestly don't know. Your decision is your decision; I left it up to you, so I feel I've forfeited the right to tell you if it was the right one, even if I had a strong opinion on this."

"Thanks Papa," you say, and smile at him tentatively.


-----

You are waiting at the pier, at just the right distance not to hear the instructions Fugaku gives Sasuke while at the same time being able to see clearly.

Your eyesight has improved recently, for some unknown reason; you have looked for what might be the reason exhaustively, but couldn't find it.


Fugaku makes a very large Great Fireball as a demonstration, but you can tell this is far from his best; his Chakra barely gave any indication he was putting in effort.

Sasuke tries… and he manages a very small flame. Fugaku shakes his head, murmuring something, walks towards you and tells him, "your Chakra is most likely not developed enough yet. I shouldn't have rushed you. Come on, let's watch Rin," sighing.

Sasuke stifles his own protests and stands further from the pier, his pride wounded; it's your turn.

Your father looks at you and says, "know that I'll be proud of you Rin, whether you manage it on the first try or in a year; try not to lose to Sasuke, though."

You simply nod without speaking, preparing yourself for learning the spell- uh, jutsu.

Suiho shows you what the Great Fireball jutsu looks like from up close, with a lot more effort than it took Fugaku to make a similarly-sized ball of fire.

Your father's instructions are like this, "first, the hand-seals. You already know them. Then build up your Chakra, focus it in your lungs and hold it for a bit, force it through the throat, out the mouth suddenly. Turn it Fire-natured as it leaves your mouth, no sooner."

Snake, Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger! You go through the hand-seals; mold a lot of Chakra, concentrating it in your lungs; push it out of your throat, and- there! You give the Chakra the properties of Fire by imagining you are rubbing it against itself to cause friction, like a stone and a stick, or a matchstick and the corresponding surface, as you exhale.

What comes out of your mouth is a fireball about half as powerful, and half as long-lasting, as your father's.

When you stop exhaling, you look at the rest of the people present, expecting to be greeted with awe.

You see envy in Sasuke's eyes, which disappears, only to be replaced with determination; the expected surprise and awe in the Clan Head's face; and, in Suiho's case, pride but no surprise.

Suiho congratulates you and tells you how proud he is, while Fugaku compares you with Itachi. "No," the man says, "Itachi was left panting the first time he made a Great Fireball, while you are mostly unaffected. Rin, you are the future; I expect you to make the clan proud," and leaves.

After Fugaku has left, Suiho says, "shall we head home now?"


You shake your head and say, "I'd rather improve my Great Fireball until it's stronger than yours."

Suiho looks at you more carefully, with a badly hidden smile, then says, "suit yourself. Just don't come back home late for curfew."

You nod.


Sasuke sticks around too, and the two of you practice at the same time.

As if by silent agreement, he takes position in a somewhat smaller lake, close to the one you both were taught the Great Fireball.

For the next week, the two of you train like crazy. Sasuke manages to use the Great Fireball just as well as his father showed him.

As for you… you manage it even better than Fugaku and Suiho.


-----

You spend time with Shisui; he continues teaching you the Body Flicker and Genjutsu.

He gives you a hint about something he has hidden… somewhere, and gives you the basics of how he uses the Body Flicker, then you two start training. What a mysterious older brother you have.

From what you got out of his instructions, incredible, trained reflexes are necessary to use the Body Flicker to its fullest.


Shisui kisses you on the brow and says, "you've been a great sister and a genius student, Rin. Never forget that I love you, okay?" Almost tearing up.

Why does this sound so much like a final goodbye? You say, "nii-chan, what have I told you about doing reckless things?"

"You worry too much, Rin," Shisui tells you with a smile.

These are the very last words you hear from him while he lives.

-----

Shisui's funeral is a somber affair. What looks like the entire clan is gathered there, and Fugaku-sama makes a speech. You simply feel numb. The service passes by like a blur; someone nudges you, and you realize that the funeral service is over.

There isn't even a body to bury; Shisui most likely destroyed it, ANBU style. Korin is crying, and her Chakra has been affected by grief. As for Suiho, he is outwardly mostly calm, but his Chakra is even more affected, by far.

You remember something your grandmother has told you: she said, "the process of grief for an Uchiha is a strange thing; you will understand one day, hopefully not anytime soon."

As for Itachi, his Chakra is well-hidden. You focus your Chakra, and….


What's going on with Itachi's Chakra is on a completely different scale from Suiho! It's far 'darker' than before, as you would call it, and there's an addition to it - you aren't certain what. You look at him, outwardly completely stoic. What the fuck! Is he even human?! How much control can one have over their facial muscles, even when the storm of the century is going on below the surface?!

You knew that they were close, but this is far more than you expected! Could they have been… uh, together? No, Shisui wasn't a pedophile, or gay; you had seen him look at girls his age, though he had tried to be subtle.

Itachi looks at you, sees you making a hand-seal, and his Chakra is suppressed further.

You'll solve the mystery some other time! Right now, it's time for diving into your memories!

You find a quiet spot to meditate in a training ground, and look for memories of using the Second Magic. You ignore the rest… there!

You have surpassed Edelfelt at using the Second Magic without a channeling Mystic Code. You never had a doubt you would manage that. You open a minuscule portal to an alternate world… and draw Mana from it. Then, you draw Mana from a second world, at the same time.

Not enough.

You learn how to go to alternate worlds on your own, and-

Not. Enough.

You learn how to go back in time in the same world. That's a very advanced technique of the Second Magic, though it does overlap with the Fifth. Zelretch has told you he suspects that the Fifth Magic is about control of entropy-

Not enough! Too much useless information!

You manipulate the very fabric of the world, and go back in time; it's your first successful journey in time that goes back by more than a few minutes. The Counter Force is pressing down on you, but-

There it is. Now, how to unlock your Circuits…? 'I know,' you think, 'I'll take my cues from a moron - Shirou, before I… corrected his behavior. So, craft a fake Circuit out of my nerves. O, how the mighty have fallen…!'


The level of sheer agony you feel is on par with inserting a hot rod into your spine. But you persevere and manage to make a fake Circuit. After you've recovered from the pain, you run Od through it, turning it into Prana… and use that Prana to make a tiny portal into an alternate world.

You put the small amount of Mana you gather from the alternate world into your actual Circuits and, miracle of miracles, they activate! Oh, how you've missed the capability of using Magecraft! You check their integrity, and they are just fine. You believe they can channel about four times as much Prana as you used to be able to, despite only being three times as many, and freshly activated besides.

So far, so good. Trigger off.

Your Circuits deactivate. Then, you bring to mind your Trigger, and they activate again. You open another portal, to multiple alternate worlds, and bring in plenty of Mana. As it goes through your body-
It tries to combine with and overwhelm your Chakra! You quickly separate the Mana from your Chakra drawing it into your Circuits, but you're left shaken by the experience.


Still, you use the great amount of Mana the way Zelretch taught you to turn back time.

(Pulse)

You encounter no resistance from Alaya, and Gaia-

A giant tree, capable of thought; an abomination with a giant red eye, with concentric circles in it and nine tomoe similar to the Sharingan's-

I SEE YOU

Nope - Alaya is a no-show, and Gaia seems to exist, but is not as powerful here, apparently.

I am intrigued, my descendant. But I can't have you messing up my world

You turn back the clock-

Shit! Something went wrong!


Wait… what were you doing? Oh, yes, you were trying to go back in time and save Shisui. You managed to unlock the ability to draw Mana from a few worlds, and activated your Circuits. Then… you failed to go further.

Damn it. Damn it! DAMN IT!

You start destroying the training ground you're in. You remember something your grandmother told you, about how to use Chakra Reinforcement. So, you put Chakra into your body… and slightly increase the amount of damage you are doing.

You thank God- er, the gods that overdoing Reinforcement with Chakra doesn't kill you, but you're pretty achy when you are finished.

-----

You've never seen Nanako so solemn before. Her Chakra is disturbed the same way Suiho's was, and her expression is pinched in a way you've never seen on her.

She says, "this is a long shot, but do you have any idea what really happened and why?"

You-

[]Tell her about what Shisui said
+As a reminder, he said that if his loyalty to the village and clan ever clashed in a serious way, he's sooner kill himself than choose one
[]Tell her you only know the official story

The old woman says, "I see."

Then, she decides to simply teach you Sealing and First Aid. You take to first aid like a fish to water, partially because you knew some of that already.


-----

You are in one of the streets of the Uchiha District, and shit is going down!

Three shady individuals approach the just as shady Itachi, and start to unsubtly blame him for Shisui's death. Itachi says something about them overestimating his patience and proceeds to beat them up, removing one of the individuals' eyeballs with his bare hand and crushing it! You think that his hand was imbued with Fire Release Chakra.

Then, he makes two hand seals, very slowly for Itachi, Horse and Tiger-!

…And Fugaku-sama stops him, then prostrating himself in front of his son, saying, "please Itachi, forgive these idiots! I know they should know better than to provoke an Uchiha who's grieving, but-!"

Two of the 'idiots' protest, saying something about 'the ultimate insult to an Uchiha' and 'poor Tekka'; the third is too shocked by the loss of an eye to say anything.

Itachi huffs, saying something about 'losing interest in burning away some trash' and losing his hope in 'this pathetic clan', throwing a kunai at a wall, exactly where the fan symbol lies. You can feel the unpolished Wind Release Chakra in that kunai, and it drives all the way into the wall, causing extra cracks to the wall and symbol due to being sloppily enhanced.

Fugaku-sama gets up and says, "Itachi. Itachi! What's gotten into you!"

You slink away, scared by Itachi losing control; he has an even temper, but when he loses it, he becomes a cold-blooded killer!

Your limbs tremble all the way to the Academy. Even Naruto notices, and asks you about it, though you brush him off… gently.

Ino tries to get you to go window shopping with her, possibly to cheer you up. You-

[]Say yes
[]Say no

-----

You want to cheer up Korin, but you don't know how. Maybe….

"Mama," you say, "would you like to meet Naruto?" Hiding your sadness at seeing her expression.

Korin pauses in the middle of making dough for cookies (Suiho left the moment he saw her taking out the ingredients. You don't blame him - Korin can't make cookies to save her life!), and says, "sure! Just let me finish the dough, though, and put it in the fridge; I'll give the cookies shape and put them in the oven later."

You hold back a sigh. When she finishes that abomin- uh, dough, you take her with you to the old playground in the park.

Naruto lights up as soon as he sees you, but regards Korin with suspicion. "Hey Rin! Who's this?" He says cheerfully, though you know better than to take his cheer at face value.

"This is my mother, Uzumaki Korin," you say, "Mama, this is Naruto," introducing them to one another.

Naruto bows and goes through the pleasantries; he now knows the consequences of being rude for no reason. His face changes expressions, though, when he realizes what her family name is.

Naruto says, hope apparent in his voice and on his face, "are we… related? I know that the Old Man said I got a random family name, but-"

"Yes, we are related," Korin says. Then, she scoffs and says, "I would like to have some words with the 'Old Man' too, but my husband is right - I can't just go to the Hokage and curse at him."

Naruto has a thoughtful look on his face. He says, "then, did the Old Man lie to me?"

"Probably," Korin says, a sneer on her face, "he told me that Kushina's child was dead - I wouldn't put it past him to tell a little kid lies about his parents."

Naruto looks lost, but he catches on to the name-drop eventually. He says, "wait, my mother's name was Kushina? Is she alive?" Looking slightly hopeful.

"Unfortunately, she's been dead for around seven years," Korin tells Naruto.

"Did- did she die in childbirth?" Naruto asks, looking devastated.

"No," Korin says, smiling tremulously, "she died fighting the Kyuubi no Youko."

Naruto looks relieved.

Korin and Naruto talk for a bit. She tells him about the Uzumaki clan, and about the responsibilities of a village leader.

She says, "if you ever become Hokage, you might have to lie to an orphan to protect him, or the entire village, too. A village's leader is responsible for everyone in the village," trying to keep him from being too hard on the Hokage.

Ironic, considering she is the one who wanted to kill him less than a year ago.

Naruto thinks it over a bit, then says, "if that's what being Hokage means, then I'd rather not become one. What if I have a family and ne- ne-… ignore my children, like with smokestack- um, Asuma-san?"

Korin says, "wait, that's not what I meant-!" Panicking a bit, but Naruto is immovable.

He has decided that his goals are to gain the acknowledgment of the village and have a family, and no force in this world or another is going to stop him.

Korin and Naruto bond, but Naruto suddenly says, "wait, does that mean that Rin is my cousin?! Hah! Take that, Sasuke!"


Korin takes you back home. She doesn't have as much time to teach you, but she makes sure to burn Fuuinjutsu into your brain; you learn as much as usual, despite the lessened time, for some reason. She also gives you the bare basics of the Adamantine Chains. You manage very little on that regard.


Your seventh birthday party is a somber affair. Everyone feels Shisui's absence keenly. When the party is over, you leave immediately, not able to stand the atmosphere even a single second more.

Your feet take you… to Konoha's orphanage? You know about it, but have never been here.

You see a silver-haired boy with glasses around the age of fourteen look at the place in… nostalgia, you think?

You can also see a short middle-aged yet still beautiful woman with an identical pair of glasses. She has honey-colored hair, and gives off an air of kindness. She is staring at the silver-haired teenager with longing; is he her son?

You approach-

[]The woman
+Her Chakra feels a bit off
+She looks and feels… Motherly?
[]The boy
+His Chakra also feels a bit off
+Maybe he's suppressing it for some reason?
