3 Give and Take

I then utter the famous words.

"Thunder Breathing, first form." As Kakashi's sharingan spins madly, lighting begins to crackle off my body. His entire body was stiff, as if he expected me to make a move. Nobody would ever be prepared for this maneuver, unfortunately for him. As I tighten my teeth, an unnaturally frigid breath leaves my mouth.

"Thunder Clap and Flash!"

*ZRRRT* *CRACKLE* *CRACKLE*

When I vanish from my former spot, all Kakashi sees are remnants of lightning and an enormous dust cloud emerges where I used to be. When I appeared behind him, sheathing my blade in anime manner, Kakashi's eyes didn't even have time to expand. A very large gash develops on Kakashi's chest as he groans in anguish and kneels, gripping the wound's location. As an Anbu medical team appears and quickly vanishes with Kakashi, blood rushes from his wound.

To say the third Hokage was shocked was not doing justice at all to his facial expression.

His eyes were comically enlarged, his mouth open, and perspiration was dripping from his brow at an alarming pace. Even HIM, of all people, couldn't keep up with Tokimo. Countless years of combat skill were rendered meaningless in the face of Tokimo's quickness. The Hokage didn't realize it, but he was experiencing an emotion that he was supposed to have conquered years ago, when he first donned the Hokage's hat. He's been in innumerable conflicts and wars, yet not a single one of them has ever made him feel FEAR.

Although he was feeling fear, the Hokage quickly masked it. His experience in leadership for once, saving him from the wrath of this monster.

I return the Hokage's weapon after assuming a neutral posture. All the time, his inquisitive stare remained fixed on me. He had a strange expression while securing the weapon. He decided to find out what in Kami it was from this Monste-No, Tokimo. Because he believed he was an ally of Konoha, he never felt threatened when the Yondaime Hokage utilized the Flying Raijin. But, with a possible Konoha foe exerting this strength, the poor old man's fragile old bones were surely trembling.

"...Tokimo, what was that...?" The old mans tone was stern, but you could still hear his voice wavering if you focused enough. "Ah, the thing I just did? That was my Thunder Breathing first form."

"Okay, how did you do that?" Hiruzen asked.

"I'm going to keep it a clan secret." He'd gone too far this time. I can't say too much right now. He'll only receive snatches of information. But this is the only thing I'll provide. In any case, I intend to defy Konoha and carry out my own plans. If I wish to gain greater power, I can't be kept within the village's boundaries. I'm sorry if I sound like Sasuke right now, but it's for a good reason.

Hiruzen's eyes narrowed in response to this response. 'So the young man will, after all, retain some secrets.' I'll have to dispatch some high-ranking Anbu to keep an eye on him. If all goes according to plan, I'll be able to turn him into a valuable asset to Konoha, boosting the village's power and cementing Konoha's position as the strongest of the five great Shinobi villages. Then I'll be able to develop him as a Hokage candidate, ensuring the village's strength for future generations. But Even I wouldn't go so far to put this must trust in him after just one thing he's done. He'll have to prove himself.'

"Okay, you are dismissed." Said the Hokage. He was going to let him leave so that he would have more ground to monitor him.

I walk over to the Uchiha compound after leaving the Hokage's office. My gaze swept the area; there were children, adults, and teens. Everything appeared to be normal, but you'd be lying if you said it wasn't tense. Since the Kyuubi attack a few years ago, the Uchiha clan has been relegated to a corner of the village, and everyone has been skeptical of them because of the Sharingan seen in the Kyuubi's eyes.

The rich, azure sky was complemented by the wooden buildings. The kids would be playing just like any other kid their age. Their parents were spotted smiling, but you could sense the dread in their eyes behind those supposedly innocent grins. Worry for their future, for their children's future. The Uchiha clan understands love and agony better than anyone else, and it is because of this love that there are so many wicked and damaged people within their numbers.

The sharingan. Eyes that evolve under extreme grief, or great turmoil. These eyes, are what lead the Uchiha to it's path of dominance through out the years.

Despite this, Tokimo continued going around the Uchiha estate, soaking in the breathtaking scenery. He continued going till he reached the Uchiha compound's forest. It appeared to be much like any other forest, with rich forestry and vibrant fauna.

He then arrived in front of Clan head Fugaku's house.

He intended to utilize the breathing technique as a means of gaining Fugaku's support. As a result, he could have an easier time getting about the Uchiha property, as well as important information for his goals. There are a lot of plot holes in the anime, and now that he's here, they'll all be filled.

He'll be able to learn the whereabouts of numerous key persons who are crucial to his plan using this knowledge.

"State your name, and reason for being here." One of the guards said. The guard knew the man was an Uchiha from what he could tell, but it was standard protocol that nobody was exempt from.

"Tokimo Uchiha, I have a new clan technique I think he should see." I responded. Like I said, we're not hiding anything. I'm a regular Uchiha without any status, so obviously I would need a solid reason to actually be able to meet clan head Fugaku.

"Are you sure it's worth anything? I hope you're not squandering clan Head Fugaku's time." The guard had to double-check that it wasn't just some ineffective trick. He needed to be certain that the guest wasn't merely requesting clan head Fugaku's attendance for no reason.

"I am one-hundred percent sure of this. this technique will for sure change the Uchiha." I tell a half-truth. The reason it is a half truth is because the training to even begin using this technique is beyond ridiculous. Many Uchiha probably won't use it anyway and just stick to their sharingan. It's their pride and joy.

"Alright, I'll go and get him." One of the guards leave while the other guard has his hands in his kunai pouch watching my every move. Like I said, this man is guarded to the max.

"Please stay still while he goes and gets clan head Fugaku. No sudden movements either." Unlike how everything was shown to be less guarded in the anime, they really didn't do the real thing justice at all.

After a while, one of the guards reappeared, accompanied by clan chief Fugaku. He had to keep up appearances, so he was dressed in costly Uchiha clan robes. He had a stern, emotionless expression on his face. With a 29-inch pole in their ass, it's only right for a real Uchiha. His eyes were drawn to the tiniest movements I made.

"Good day, Tokimo Uchiha. I haven't seen you around the complex, but I'm hoping that the new clan technique you described isn't a joke." The clan head spoke with a firm and unwavering voice. His tone exuded confidence, rightfully so. Not an ounce of any emotion really could be detected, but you can still see the man meant business.

"Do you mind telling me about what type of technique it is? If it's a jutsu, we already have plenty of those. The Uchiha have been trying to expand their arsenal recently, so I hope it's something interesting."

"Then, you have nothing to worry about. This is a Ninjutsu technique, that I've managed to combine with an element. It is a speed based technique that would work well in the Uchiha arsenal because only those with our signature doujutsu could ever hope to even hope to use it. It is too fast for the regular eye to keep up with."

"This technique of yours seems very intriguing, Tokimo. Then, follow me to the kinjutsu training grounds, where we train our Uchiha kinjutsu.

"Yes, Fugaku-Sama."

And so I followed him to their kinjutsu training grounds. If I was being completely frank, I never even knew clans had things like these. But it would definitely make sense. After a couple minutes of passing through a very complex and complicated path, we have made it to the kinjutsu training grounds.

"Tokimo, It's time for you to put the technique into action. Here Is the sword that you will be using for this demonstration.*Hands sword to me* You're going to use it on the dummy. *Points to a dummy that is incredibly durable and expensive* This dummy can withstand several fire-based ninjutsu attacks without getting burned. Go ahead and start if you're ready."

No words needed to be spoken as I leaned forward, positioning my left leg behind my torso. the positioning was comparable to if someone was about to get started on their one-hundred meter run in the Olympics, except for the knees touching the ground. I was clutching the sword to my

"Thunder breathing, first form." Like in the Hokage's office, Lightning began crackling off my body, as if I had the aura of a lightning celestial itself. Fugaku's stoic face slightly lessened, he hadn't seen a technique like this before. His worries were gone now, as this was one-hundred percent sure this was legitimate. He activated his 3 tomoe Sharingan, to make sure he could examine this technique thoroughly.

"Thunder Clap and Flash!"

*BOOM* *ZRRT* *ZRRT* *BZRRRT* *CRACKLE* *CRACKLE*

The lightning struck. As I vanished from conventional human sight and resurfaced behind the dummy, sheathing my blade as I had done in the Hokage's office. A dust cloud considerably greater than the last one forms, and the wind pressure nearly topples numerous trees. This was the initial form's actual power. When I was at the Hokage's office, I was holding back a lot. Fugaku's eyes widened as he realized he couldn't see the man's movement. It seemed as though he teleported, and then lightning replaced him. He was even more amazed when his incredibly tough dummy head fell off like a slab of butter.

The guards who were monitoring Tokimo just stood there mouths agape. It was a universal first reaction for everyone who witnessed a man seemingly as fast as lightning itself. The ground shook as the dummies' head was falling, forming an 12 foot deep crater on the grasslands. Fugaku was even more shocked that his 3 tomoe Sharingan couldn't even keep up with this random mans speed. This made him feel shock, and then pride as the Uchiha clan once again was rising in power. And who in their right mind wouldn't like power? Not Fugaku, for sure.

"That was an amazing technique, how did you do that?" asked Fugaku.

I just handed clan head Fugaku a scroll on how to complete the first form. I wasn't going to give him everything, after all. I can't let them get too strong. Plus, I just gained something amazing. The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan with all of its abilities. How, you may ask? With my perfect mastery. Once I saw clan head Fugaku activate his Sharingan, I unlocked all stages and Abilities of the Sharingan. And I can use all stages of the Susanoo with each form of my Susanoo being 12 times bigger than the original ones.

I've done great.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Meanwhile, Hiruzen and Danzo.

"Hiruzen, you should let me handle him. What's the use of keeping him around and being suspicious of him all the time? I could take him and use him for the greater good of Konoha."

Hiruzen slammed his hands on the table.

"Danzo! You must stop this foolishness immediately! I will not have a potential asset for the village be put in your care! What if he abandons Konoha because of what you do to him?"

"You're too soft Hiruzen! Just let me take care of him and nurture him into a true shinobi, a shinobi that is in the darkness so that the light can shine. And you think I wouldn't have a counter measure Planned incase he does defect? It's only logical!"

Hiruzen rubbed his temples. Danzo was simply getting out of hand now. He's waiting for the day he dies of stress. That damned paperwork, plus Danzo is simply Nightmare fuel! They are going to be the death of him, literally!

"Danzo, this is final! Stop this madness this instant!"

Danzo grit his teeth, and nodded. Hiruzen truly was getting too soft for his liking.

'Damn you, Hiruzen. It seems I have to do this the old fashioned way. By myself. I WILL make sure he will be ultimately loyal to Konoha, and Konoha MUST forever be the strongest Village. Yes, Yes, this is all for the greater good of Konoha. Just you wait Hiruzen...just you wait...
