Chapter 6

As Tsunade resolved to teach this little boy a severe lesson, her instincts kicked in, making her spin around with a devastating roundhouse kick which destroyed two stone tablets heading straight for her.

Her instincts kicked in once more, causing her to leap from the broken tree she was on just before a group of earth spike rose from the ground and stabbed into the position she was just at, one of them even predicting where she would jump and emerging there.

After she punched the earth spike that tried to catch her in the air, a strong gust of wind came and blasted her through the air. As she tumbled and spun through the air, she eventually grabbed a branch which stopped her midair and allowed her to regain her footing.

But, just as she regained her footing, 4 arrows from each cardinal direction was soaring towards her, giving her a slight surprise before she smirked and looked to a specific direction.

Hyto watched as each arrow exploded on Tsunade's position, but his gut told him that he was fucked somehow, he just didn't know in which way. With the nekogan still activated, but quickly draining chakra, Hyto's danger sense went off, as he exploded a fireball on the branch he was standing on, causing flames, smoke, and debris to fly in random directions, and a split second later, Tsunade appeared and punched the tree to pieces.

'How the fuck does she keep finding me with my stealth on max?!' Hyto thought to himself as he started to freak out a little.

Tsunade was far more beefy and tanky than what he remembered from the anime, and made him curse that he to wasn't born with both Senju and Uzumaki blood in his veins. Just those two bloodlines together seemed like a cheat from God himself.

As Hyto was leaping to another tree, his whole body ran cold, as he turned his head to the left and saw Tsunade right next to him with a devilish grin.

"I finally found you, brat!" Tsunade yelled as she twisted her body midair and kicked Hyto, sending him rocketing backward as he broke through multiple trees.

Luckily, he blocked with his bow, but his arms were both in pain and numb as he crashed into the ground roughly, forming a long, deep crater.

'This damn bitch didn't bother holding back! If I was any other 10 year old, I'd be meat paste by now!' Hyto complained internally as his body healed at a visible rate.

"Oooh, so you do heal pretty quick. This is going to be fun!" said a familiar voice in his ear which sent chills down his spine.

Before Hyto could even turn his head, a powerful kick landed on his sides, crushing his ribs instantly as he crashed through the ground, creating more deep trenches before finally landing in a deep river.

Under the water, Hyto was barely breathing, as it seemed one of his ribs had painfully punctured his lungs, which were currently filling up with water. Though he has a healing factor, he can die from drowning as easily as the next person. Also, all of his limbs were broken and healing too slowly for him to swim to safety.

With no other option for him left, Hyto thought about Iroh using his fire breathing technique, and thought to do the same thing, but with water. Using the water already in his lungs, Hyto contracted his stomach and shouted, blasting a powerful jet of water from his mouth, as he flew out over the river and landed roughly on the destroyed shore as he gulped mouthfuls of air down.

As he laid on his back and his body slowly and painfully regenerated, Tsunade walked into his field of vision with her hands on her hips, wearing a smug grin.

"You're not bad, kid. Maybe now you'll learn to watch what you say to women." Tsunade said looking down at him.

With a defiant glint in his eye, Hyto looked back at Tsunade refusing to stand down. It wasn't like she could do much worse to his body.

"I think you're forgetting something important, beautiful. My attack landed at the very beginning with the water arrow. That would've definitely have been a kill shot if I wanted it to and you know it, you were just being a sore loser after that." Hyto said plainly. Though his body was mostly healed by now, he was still too exhausted to move a muscle.

Hearing this, Tsunade was completely shocked, as Hyto was right. Arrows are very uncommon if not extremely rare in the shinobi world, so when you ran into one, it was naturally hard to deal with. Most of all, Hyto has near impossible aim and can shoot different elements which took Tsunade by surprise at first.

Right when she was about to deliver her rebuttal, they heard familiar laughter coming from the tree line and looked to see Hiruzen walking out smoking his pipe.

"He's right you know, Tsunade. That first shot would have killed or seriously maimed you were this a real battlefield. Still, what an impressive shot it was. I don't know anyone but a Rasugi who could pull it off." Hiruzen said proudly, like he shot the arrow himself.

"Wait, Rasugi...Why does this name sound so familiar? No! This kid is part of that extinct clan?! No wonder he's such a headache!" Tsunade said looking down at Hyto with sense of realization.

Tsunade distinctly remember a particular Shimo kunoichi who gave her plenty of trouble back in the day. The kunoichi was gorgeous with a full figure and light brown skin, and midnight black hair. The kunoichi was none other than Kaiko Rasugi, the terrifying woman who was called, Frost Huntress, thanks to all of the widows she made from the shinobi who became her prey on the battlefield.

Tsunade and the rest of Team Hiruzen had faced against her a few times when they were younger, but only Hiruzen was strong enough to combat her, as their fights always ended in a draw. Those nekogan of hers were truly terrifying when its golden glow shined through the night.

Now that Tsunade took a closer look at Hyto, he did bear a striking resemblance to Kaiko, and when she looked into his eyes, realization dawned on her.

"You're trying to make a full team of dojutsu users. I guess we will finally earn our title of Hellion Squad now." Tsunade chuckled as she looked back at Hiruzen.

"Team of dojutsu users?" Hyto asked, confused. He wasn't a Naruto expert and didn't remember Tsunade or Orochimaru having their own team's. Only that Minato would eventually join Jiraiya's team.

"That's right, along with your Nekogan, there is Mikoto Uchiha with her Sharingan, and Hizashi Hyuga with his Byakugan. Every dojutsu in our village on one team." said Hiruzen proudly, as probably for the first time in history, was there a full team of different and powerful dojutsu users.

When Hyto thought about all of these dojutsu being on one team, he got a slight chill, as their team could be as legendary as the future Saanin would become. The mother of Itachi and Sasuke, the father of Neji, and then Hyto, a shinobi blessed by God and the last living member of a royal clan.

After that, Tsunade and Hyto patched things up and Tsunade double-checked Hyto's health to make sure he was truly okay. Seeing the best doctor in the world give him a check-up, Hyto figured that there was no better teacher to teach him medical jutsu, but that would be a different day, as he was spent at the moment.

After making plans to meet up the next day with the rest of the team, Hyto went home, ignoring the different chakra signatures he sensed around his compound. After cleaning himself using Waterbending, Hyto took the new bed he purchased out of his storage seal and passed out immediately.

The next day, Hyto woke up feeling groggy and sore, but pushed himself to get up nonetheless. It was still very early in the morning, leaving him plenty of time before he had to set out to meet his new team, after cleaning himself and stuffing his face with food since he was starving, Hyto set out to do something that had to be done now, as he felt he would soon be leaving for a mission.

Walking to his backyard and taking out the clan summoning scroll, Hyto looked at all of the names of the clan members before him who used this scroll as well, his eyes stopping at his mother's name. After taking a deep breath, Hyto bit his finger and went through the necessary signs before slamming his bloody hand on the scrolling and screaming, "Summoning!"

In a poof of smoke, a tiny baby kitten appeared before poofing away. Hyto felt his cheeks grow hot as he blushed in embarrassment.

'Dammit, it's that same problem that young Naruto had with the tadpoles! No! I am not like that idiot, I just need to pump in more chakra and I'll be fine!' Hyto thought, trying to convince himself that he's not a failure.

Trying once more, Hyto pumped in way more chakra this time, resulting in a bigger and denser poof of smoke. When the smoke settled, Hyto was looking at a big fluffy cat laying on it's side, smoking a long cigarette. It slightly reminded Hyto of the Cheshire Cat from Alice In Wonderland, only this one was obviously female with it's long lashes and a big pink bow on it's head that went well with it's all white fur. Lastly, it's smile was more seductive and mischievous than silly and psychotic.

"Well, well, well, it's been quite some time since someone has sought to contract with us. Oh my, and what an adorable little cub you are!" the cat said as it teleported in front of Hyto and started pinching his cheeks.

Startled, Hyto jumped back and swiped at where the cat was, only to find it not there anymore. Then he heard a female giggle come from behind his ear, only for his to spin around with his kunai and find nothing there.

"My oh my, this cute little cub has some claws. Mmm, yes, you remind me just of your mother, Kaiko." Hyto heard from behind him again. Just as he was about to spin and attack again, he paused as he heard his mother's name.

"You knew my mother?" Hyto asked, somewhat skeptical that this weird cat knew his late mother.

"Why, of course! Who do you think it was who facilitated her contract being signed with us Neko?" the cat asked redundantly as she flew around in front of Hyto lazily.

"Then, that means you could also get my contract signed, right? I'm a Rasugi as well. Hyto Rasugi." Hyto said in a respectful tone, hoping that he didn't ruin his chances at a contract by being hostile.

He knew a cat would come out, but this cat had a weird, overwhelming aura about her that screamed danger.

"Hmm, well you did entertain me with our little dance. Plus, it was Kaiko's last wish that we look after you should you seek us out. We have been watching you for your whole life, and our leader has long approved your contract, Hyto. My name is Cherr, and after you sign your name and your seal it, me along with everyone else will be ready to assist you when you need us." the cat, Cherr, said as she floated up to Hyto and started rubbing against him.

(Cherr like cherry, but without the 'Y')

Feeling her fur against his skin, Hyto's love of cats from his past life was awoken as he giggled at her antics and started petting her, Cherr purring happily in response. After a quick petting session, Hyto quickly signed his name and pressed his his bloody fingerprints under his name, and the contract disappeared in a poof of smoke.

"Marvelous! The Rasugi clan is contracted with us again! This will be welcoming news to your cousins in the Izuno clan!" Cherr said happily.

Hyto felt like his brain just froze and rebooted, as he just had some major information just dropped on him.

"What? I thought all of the Rasugi were thought to be dead? Who are these Izuno??" Hyto asked slightly flustered, as this could potentially change everything.

"Huh? Oh my, I forgot you weren't told a thing. I guess Kaiko didn't have time to write it in the letter she put in your basket. I'm the one who dropped you off you know. Right in front of the gates, they didn't even see me! Oh, but I'm getting side tracked." Cherr said as she rambled important information and stopped to lick herself.

'Well, that explains how I was dropped off without anyone knowing, but geez can she be a scatterbrain!' Hyto thought to himself as he fought to be patient.

"Where was I? Oh yes, the Izuno! Well here's the best thing, they live right here in Konoha! They were a branch family of the Rasugi back in the Rasugi's heyday before they got into politics and the clan started dwindling. Anyway, the Izuno were somewhat weak and didn't prosper much in Shimo, so they migrated here! Though they still haven't prospered and are somewhat weak, they're still technically your family! Don't believe me? Go look at their eyes." Cherr said lazily as she started floating off in a random direction, presumably to show Hyto something.

After following Cherr, who made herself invisible to everyone else somehow, for a while, they stopped just outside of the slums at a rundown-looking house.

"Cherr, this isn't where I think it is, is it?" Hyto asked, doing his best to block his nose from the horrible smell of the surroundings.

Hyto wasn't boujee or anything, but he had gotten used to a certain standard of living, and this wasn't it. Nobody should live like this, even if they were poor.

"That's right! Though none of them have a contract with us, knowing they are your last family that we can trace, we naturally kept an eye on them. They all live in this house crowded together. You even went to school with one of them." Cherr said, shocking Hyto yet again.

If it didn't involve Minato, Nono, or avoiding the Uchiha bitch, Hyto blocked everything out, so he would have never noticed. He never even heard of the Izuno clan before from the anime.

(Thats because they get shown first in the Boruto series)

Seeing no other option, Hyto used Airbending to take a clean, deep breath, and then knocked on the door. Loud meowing was heard immediately which promoted Hyto to want to pet every cat he heard. A few moments later, the battered door slid open, and a short blonde girl with a cute face, long, flowing blonde hair, and dull, golden cat eyes opened the door.

When Hyto saw the girl, he was shocked by how cute she was, but even more so by the fact that this girl was in fact in his class throughout the whole academy! The worst part was, he couldn't remember her name for the life of him!

"H-Hyto? What are you doing here?" The girl asked shyly, rightly confused.

Before Hyto could get a chance to say anything, another person walked up behind the girl.

"Amagi? Who's at the door? Is it the milkman? The cats are getting restless." asked an older woman with blonde, slightly greying hair who looked like an older version of the girl, who's name was apparently, Amagi.

"It's just classmate from school momma. I was just asking him what he needed." Amagi said to her mother before looking back at Hyto, putting him on the spot.

'So direct! Well, at least this way I can get to the point. Now, how should I word this?' Hyto thought to himself as he bowed respectfully to them, giving himself more time to think.

"Hello, Amagi-chan, Ms.Izuno-san. My name is Hyto Rasugi, and I know this may sound strange and sudden, but I was informed recently that we are distant family." Hyto said plainly and directly, as this seemed the best way to deal with them.

"Kya?! Me and you are related?! Nooooo! That means I'll never have a chance now!" Amagi cried as she comically fell to the floor sobbing.

"Oh my, you truly are a Rasugi?! I heard the terrible news that they were wiped out. Everything was already said and done by the time the Hokage finally approved of us attempting a rescue, so we assumed the worst!" Amagi's mother fell to her knees in tears.

"I can see it, I can see Kaiko in your face! You look just like she did when we were younger and built snowmen in the palace!" Izuno-san cried as she touched Hyto's face softly, as if she were scared he was a dream and would float away the next second.

Seeing both of these girls getting so emotional knowing that Hyto was their family, although for different reasons, Hyto started unconsciously feeling a slight attachment to them.

This whole time, being in this world has felt like a vivid dream to Hyto, living alone and doing nothing but training by himself for most of his life. But now things were different, he had family now. People who shared the same blood as him, no matter how distant. They even bore the same golden cat eyes, which only further cemented them as family in his heart.

Seeing Amagi's mother still sobbing, Hyto stepped closer and wrapped her in a comforting hug.

"It is okay, Izuno-san. We are together now. The Izuno and the Rasugi can be a family again." Hyto said genuinely, making the older woman sob even harder, grateful that her dear friends son was alive and well.

This was it, a big moment Hyto needed to start rebuilding the Rasugi clan!
