Scroll 1: The Lost Half

Wait What?!

"WHAT?!"

The children jump to their feet at the sound of the news, their jaws dropped to the ground. Their little eyes are opened so wide you could fit a soccer ball inside. As for Hiroko, she sits comfortably eating her blueberry pie, licking the extra blue goo on her fingers.

Naomi shakes her head, flapping her hair around. Then with her blue eyes, she looks at Jiraiya and points a finger at her teammates. "Wait wait wait. So you're telling me, that Katsuro and Daiza, idiot 1 and idiot 2, bonehead and birdbrain, have a secret power?!"

"Not only that, but Katsuro has a sharingan!" Hiroko says with pie lodged in her mouth. "And Daiza has Wood Style!"

Naomi stares agape at her Senseis, then at her teammates, then back to her Senseis. She hits her head against the table continuously since she doesn't know what else to do with the confusion revolving in her brain.

Katsuro and Daiza stare at the Toad Sage with wide eyes, blinking occasionally like in the cartoons. Daiza sits down since he is tired of standing, thinking about the information that was recently given to him. Katsuro, who continues to stand, rest his arm on Daiza's head.

"So what you're telling me Jiraiya-sama, is that I, Sakkaku Katsuro, have the Sharingan, one of the 3 dojutsus?"

Jiraiya nods his head. "Yup."

"And I, Chririku Daiza, have the Wood Style Jutsu?"

"Yup."

Naomi rubs her hair since she doesn't have a beard, thinking. "Wait. I thought the Sharingan and Wood Style were Kekkei Genkeis of the Uchihas, and the Senjus. So why do they have it."

Both boys nod their heads in agreement. Jiraiya sits up from his slouched position and leans forward on the table, resting his weight on his arms. "Well, I will have to tell you a little story."

The Genin sit down and lean forward with anticipation. Hiroko gave herself another slice of pie, acting like she wasn't listening, but really was.

"6 years ago, 3 days before the Uchiha Massacre," Jiraiya begins, closing his eyes, as if he is living it all over again. "A couple, Uchiha Mei and Kazuto, knew what that the Uchihas were going to attack the village. Being trustworthy Anbu's under the 3rd Hokage, they also knew that they would slaughtered along with the rest of the clan by Uchiha Itachi. The weird thing is that they never try to escape, they accepted their fate. But they loved their child, who was 7 years old at the time, and convinced the 3rd Hokage to spare him since they promised he wouldn't grow up like the rest of the clan."

As Jiraiya spoke, the children listen very closely, especially Katsuro.

"So 3 days before the slaughter, the parents let the Sakkaku clan adopt him. But they didn't want him to have any memories, or have any knowledge of any ties with the clan, so the Hokage sealed away his Sharingan and wiped away his memories, except the memories of his best friend, Chiriku Daiza."

Naomi blinks in disbelief. "Whoa. That was-"

"Intense." Daiza finishes off. "So that was the story of Katsuro, but what about me?"

Jiraiya shifts his position in the wooden chair. "Ah yes. Wood Style Jutsu that is unique to the First Hokage, the most powerful shinobi of all of time. He defeated Uchiha Madara in their Final Battle, bringing peace to the Leaf Village. The thing is, no one else in the Senju clan was able to use the Wood Style Jutsu. So the child's parents sealed away his power since they new that someone would eventually do experiments on him."

Daiza absorbs all the information that he just heard. "So hold on a second. What happen to the child's parents?"

Jiraiya gave a faint sigh. "They died putting the seal on you. The Foundation killed them for doing that, since Danzo wanted to know the secrets behind Wood Style Jutsu."
