The morning sun rose, and with it, Anko's eyelids. As she rubbed the sleep from her eyes, she looked at the sleeping form of her son. His blonde hair was streaked with lines of Uchiha black, and the new genes had even given his normally unruly hair a bit of a lean, causing the hairs on the top of his head to lean towards his arms, although it was slight. The whisker marks which adorned his cheeks seemed to fade with the incorporation of his new genes, but that might be a good thing. The less people recognized him, the better it would be.
The sleeping boy was awoken around nine o'clock by the entrance of the Sandaime Hokage, as well as the remaining Uchiha survivor.
“Once Tsunade gets here, we will be able to remove the bandages.” The old man explained.
While the group was waiting, Naruto had tried to start up a conversation with Sasuke. He knew the boy from the academy, but that was as far as his knowledge went.
Though it wasn't known to Naruto, Sasuke was doing the same thing. He wanted to find out all he could about his new `brother'. What he knew from the academy was limited, and it failed to do the blonde justice. Sasuke knew that Naruto had a reputation as being the dumbest boy in the class, who like to play jokes and was very loud. But after talking with him, he realized that Naruto, for all his apparent short comings, was actually quit smart. Thinking over his short experience with the boy, he realized that most of the questions Naruto received, and subsequently failed, were much too hard for most gennin to answer. Actually, Sasuke didn't even know the answer to the questions the `dobe' received. Sasuke came to the conclusion that Naruto's lack of skill was due to his lack of a family. He hadn't had anyone to teach him any techniques, or how to control his chakra. He had grown up alone, without the benefits or joys that family brings. The black haired boy's next thought caught him off guard. If Naruto had never been trained, than how good would he be with supervision? While Naruto was the dead last at the academy, it wasn't by much. He might even be a worthy challenge for Sasuke, maybe even better than the Uchiha. The thought of this made the Uchiha smile.
The boy's conversation was interrupted by the arrival of Tsunade and her apprentice, Shizune, who would be departing the hidden village immediately following Naruto's dismissal from the hospital. She muttered something about a hang over, and proceeded to unwrap the bandages surrounding Naruto's head. After the last bit of gauze was removed, Naruto slowly opened his eyes. At first the unusual sensation of bright light hitting eyes stung for a while, but slowly they grew accustomed.
The crowd in the room was looking at the boy expectantly, waiting to hear his reaction. Sasuke immediately saw the Uchiha eyes and noted with happiness, that the boy looked almost like an Uchiha, with his darkly streaked hair, and deep black eyes. He was happy that even if the person staring back at him wasn't a true Uchiha, that he had at least found some one who was like him.
Naruto was just happy to have his sight back; he blinked a few times before taking note of the people in the room. He recognized the Hokage and Sasuke. But there were three new people in his room that he had never seen before…including his mother. Naruto looked over his shoulder at the purple haired jounin and stared into her brown eyes. Although he looked nothing like her, he knew instinctively that she was his mother.
“Kaa-san!” The boy cried and quickly enveloped Anko in a fierce hug.
“How do the eyes feel?” She asked, returning the hug.
“They feel fine.” The boy replied. “Can I see what they look like?”
Tsunade pointed her thumb over towards a small mirror over the sink in a corner. Naruto leaped out of bed and quickly made his way over to the sink to check out his new appearance.
The black eyes of Uchiha Shisui gazed back at the former blonde. The look seemed…almost…natural. The only sign that the eyes were transplanted were small scars around the corners of his eyes, where the originals had been removed. The left eye had a cross running downward towards the bridge of his nose, and the right eye, had two scars forming a cross at the far corner. All in all, Naruto liked his new look, the eyes weren't his usual happy blue, but he liked them none the less. His hair was now streaked and more limp than before made him look a bit more mysterious, seeing as it actually hid some of his face. However, the thing he was most happy about was the fact that those ugly whisker marks had faded. Where there were once three lines, only two remained, making him look less like the fox that was trapped inside him.
“This is so cool!” Naruto said, responding to his new look.
“I'm glad to hear that you like your new look, Naruto.” The Sandaime said. “I have a question for you, I want to know, how you would feel, having Sasuke as your brother.”
“You mean, since he's an orphan too, you want to him to live with kaa-san and me?” The seven year old asked.
The Sandaime chuckled to himself, seeing how intelligent Naruto could be.
“Yes, I would like for your mother and you to adopt Sasuke, so that all of you can have a family, even after such tragic events.”
“That would be so cool! What do you think kaa-san?” The loudmouth asked, heading back to be closer to his mother.
“I don't mind as long as you don't.” Anko responded, smiling at her sons, ruffling their hair.
“Now, I believe, there is the matter of getting used to your new eyes.” The Hokage said. “Naruto, you'll need help to use your eyes correctly and there isn't any real point in separating you two since it would be nice if you both activated the sharingan. I'll have some specialized training set up for the two of you starting next week. Until then, I suggest you get to know each other better.” The old man smiled and exited the door leaving the three person family alone for the first time since its conception.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
One week later, the two boys found themselves waiting to meet their new sensei. He was currently running a good hour and a half late, and both boys were beginning to wonder if he'd ever show up.
“Yo, sorry I'm late, you see there was this kitten, and it was caught in a tree…” A voice said, approaching the two young ninjas-in-training.
The two looked at the new comer with identical stares of both disbelief and anger. He was a tall man with grey hair, although he wasn't old, and it stuck up in many different angles, not unlike Naruto's old hair. He was wearing dark pants and a dark shirt under the standard issue jounin vest, as well as black fingerless gloves that had a metal plate on the back of the hand to block swords. The most peculiar aspect of the man was his Konoha head protector was pulled over his left eye, completely obscuring it, and he wore a mask that effectively covered his face and nose.
“You two are Sasuke and Naruto, I assume?” The silver haired man asked the bewildered boys.
They just nodded their heads looking at their sensei, he seemed…well they didn't know how he seemed, there was something about him, he seemed dangerous, even if he was an hour and a half late.
“Why don't we introduce ourselves, you can tell us your likes, dislikes, hobbies, dreams for the future, those kinds of things. I'll start off, my name is Hatake Kakashi, I don't feel like telling you my likes, or dislikes, my dreams for the future…I have a lot of hobbies.” He finished, giving absolutely no detail in his cryptic answer.
`Great, all we learned was his name.' The boys thought to themselves.
“Well, my name is Uchiha Sasuke, I like my family and training, I have a few things that I don't like, my hobbies…hm, I guess I don't really have any, as for my dreams…I want to start my own family…and I want to help my family accomplish their goals.” The raven haired boy said.
`Hm, he didn't mention Itachi; I guess that's a good thing.' Kakashi thought.
“My name is Mitarashi Naruto; I like my family and ramen. I dislike the three minute wait for the ramen to cook; my hobbies are training with my brother and mom and trying all the different types of ramen that I can find. My dream is to become the Hokage and help my family with their dreams.” He finished.
`Hm, ramen obsessed boy, but he's got a hard dream.' Kakashi thought. He stared at the boys before him, Sasuke in his usual blue t-shirt and shorts with the red and white Uchiha fan on the back, and Naruto, who had taken to wearing black shorts with a bunch of pockets on them, with a white shirt. The interesting thing about the shirt was the clan symbol on the back. It seemed to be a mixture of the orange swirl he had donned under the name of Uzumaki Naruto and the Uchiha fan. It was an orange and red swirl, divided just as the Uchiha fan was.
“Well, my job for the time being is to help you two learn to harness the power of the sharingan. Sasuke, since you haven't awoken yours yet, we'll be doing drills and exercises to help you and Naruto, since you have fully developed sharingan already, you just need to learn to use the correct amount of chakra to activate them. You'll be doing mostly chakra control exercises. Both of you will do drills with me until you get the hang of the sharingan.” Kakashi explained.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
