Izuna was staring at blank paper that was in front of him. He somehow managed to ask black Zetsu for a it and a something to write down. And black Zetsu asked him what it was for, however he didn't answer, he said that it didn't matter, it was about something he heard and that he wanted to see if it is true. What it really was, well he wanted to remember rabbits words about this story, if he really was in it. Also he knew that this wouldn't help him too much, but he had to start from something. He also asked black Zetsu :" are there any history books i can use. I don't know when in time i am."
Black Zetsu was troubled for a moment as he said :" can't you determine that from Mitos age."
Izuna answered honestly :" i don't know how old, rabbit is."
Black Zetsu spoke :" i was wondering, why were you calling Mito that. By the way she is turning 15 or maybe she already is. I am not sure."
Izuna frowned :" that doesn't help me. I don't know how old rabbit was when i died. " Izuna thought so rabbit deaged. That also makes no sense. What now. Izuna asked :" is this body old as my soul. "
Black Zetsu was amazed by the question. He answered :" i think it is, i wasn't able to make it younger. "
Izuna then spoke :" so i am eighteen. And rabbit is 15." that doesn't make sense.
Black Zetsu was surprised :" so you are older than Mito, which means you were dead for a long time."
Izuna thought about it, maybe he was brought here some other way than rabbit.
Izuna asked :" when did you first find about Mito."
Black Zetsu answered the question with ease :" that would be around 5 years ago. "
Izuna asked :" was rabbit shinobi then. "
Black Zetsu nodded.
Izuna then asnwerd :" i have been dead for more than 5 years then."
Black Zetsu smirked :" so you know Mito before her being shinobi."
Izuna nodded :" yes, i know only of weak rabbit, that didn't know what it needed to do to survive. Rabbit was so pitiful that i thought that it was cute, i ended giving him this nickname."
Izuna then turned around and said :" it would be nice if i could those books, because i need to study. "
Black Zetsu smirked :" yes you do. "
Black Zetsu was satisfied with how suddenly Izuna had changed his attitude. At first he seemed disinterested and black Zetsu thought that he made a mistake calling this soul into this body. However since he showed that dream, Izuna started to change, he wasn't just doing things that were told and expected from him but rather he was getting self interested and doing some research on his own. Black Zetsu was afraid that the man would be problematic when it would come to learning diplomacy of all of the countries, but he seemed interested in that by himself. Which left Black Zetsu more time to think about his future plans rather than to check constantly on Izuna.
Meanwhile Izuna was remembering the plot line of the story, or at least what he could remember. He could remember the main character that rabbit had talked passionately about, that one time. What was his name, Na, something with na, ah yes, Naruto. Naruto was the main character, he was somehow special, he was an orphan. He also know that he would chase after his friend Sasuke, was it, for few years, and then they would together bring worlds peace. That was whathe remembered about a war. But which war was that. And were those guys already chasing each other, maybe this was after story, however what amazed him was the Uchiha name. If he remembered Sasuke was the last Uchiha. And now he was Uchiha. However Uchiha, all of them he heard about were in the end enemies of main character, in some sort of way. He was stooped from his mussing when a Zetsu brought 10 books. What was weird that he didn't recognize those letters but he could read them. He realized that he used his previous worlds writing when he took down his notes, so there was no way that Black Zetsu could read them, but also this could mean that Black Zetsu would realize that something was wrong.
He took first book, history of Konoha, he read it slowly, he came across Uchiha clan there. He took out every possible note he could about Uchiha. Few names were familiar. Like Madara, then he noticed Izuna, that was something that bothered him, why was he called that way, was it to honor this man, on closer look, they seemed pretty similar. He continued to read through, there was part about creating the village hidden in leaf. The clan that made it was Uchiha and Senju clan. That clan aslo sounded familiar, and then there was third clan that sounded familiar. Uzumaki clan. Then it clicked to him. Naruto Uzumaki. The rest was more or less about the wars. He read through all of them to see if anything he could remember was there, unfortunately there wasn't much. Actually there wasn't anything. The last war was third shinobi war, which ended few years ago. He concluded that by seeing when the book was made and by seeing when the war had stopped. So he didn't know if they were in post story. Until he remembered a key part of information. The thing that is controlling him, wasn't it sealed in final battle. So that means they weren't in post story but rather they were most likely in past. However how back in past, and what had rabbit do, here was important. Maybe the end of the world is close and he even doesn't know that, he will be forced into participating.
He then read again the third shinobi war. He wanted to see if someone or something would catch his eyes. And there was nothing. When he was done with reading all of the 5 major books of history, the five great nations had. He realized something, there were few places that stories didn't add up. Which was surprising as on most things there were same informations, but they were delivered differently, however here they were aome informations of combat that weren't written in other books, maybe that was because there wasn't a way to follow every shinobi. But that would be understandable if there weren't so many detailed stories.
Suddenly he felt presence behind him, he spoke :" you are back."
Black Zetsu smirked :" I see you are getting better at sensing, did you like the books."
Izuna nodded :" they were extremely helpful. I still didn't find when i exactly died, however i think i am close, but rather than that, i am curious about some things, that are written here and there but left out in other books. "
Black Zetsu took the page where Izuna was pointing at, and at another one. Amd spoke :" ah, that, i think it was my first actual meeting with Mito, we fought and she managed to escape. The reports aren't in same, because the shinobi that attacked here were under my control and the country they belong didn't know about them, after falling to get for what i came for i got rid of evidence. However the fact that Mito isn't said to partake this mission is also political and trying to hide her from public eyes, but she took spotlight later on so it didn't matter that much. "
Izuna was surprised by answer, and he was curious :" what wad your mission there. "
Black Zetsu smirked, thinking if he should reveal the truth :" my mission was to take a Uchiha boy there. "
Izuna was confused :" is Uchiha blood important for your plans."
Black Zetsu had his evil smirk on :" extremely."
Izuna asked :" who was the one you tried to take in."
Black Zetsu asnwerd :" Obito Uchiha."
Izuna froze, that name was familiar, why, he didn't know, but he had to ask :" do you have plans to use him. "
Black Zetsu smirked :" no, i have you now, he isn't needed anymore. "
Izuna wasn't sure what to think. He didn't question it anymore. He looked at black Zetsu who was looking at him and it spoke :" it is time for training. "
Izuna nodded and went to darkest place in cave. His eyes glowed red and he began with what he learned. Soon he felt Black Zetsu leave.
At the night after exhausting his while body him sat on his bed leaned on his bed and look at his notes, he added Obito Uchiha. If only he could remember why it was so familiar and why did it make feel uneasy. It was obviously important person if rabbit had protected. However how did rabbit protect it. There were pieces that he missed, actually he only had some small pieces and he needed to get whole picture. He knew that another term was familiar, it was jinchuriki, however he didn't know what it meant, also there were some kind of godly creatures that are called biju. He didn't understand that paet6. However he noticed that in the books he still didn't read through were more detailed information about terms. He knew that most likely the great 5 nations had better understanding of such terms and that everyone knew what those meant. However smaller countries had less educated people so they had to explain.
His notes were filled with useful information by the time he went to sleep. He had learned what those words meant, he had written it down just in case he had forgotten. He was too tired to dream about anything. He slept peacefully unlike last night. So when he woke up he did his usual stretching and he went immediately to study his notes. A few things had made more sense in his head. One was Uzumaki clan was famous for seals, seals were used to trap bijus, and create jinchuriki. Which means that Naruto was special because that. But wouldn't that make Naruto a villain, he didn't understand. Until he searched more about Uzumaki clan and had realized that first jinchuriki was Mito Uzumaki. There was two things that he realized here, one Uzumaki are jinchuriki, which meant that Naruto was probably one, and other was that Mito was in history books, but his confusion only began when he noticed that this woman had died 13 years ago, or so. Black Zetsu had appeared behind him. And spoke without warning :" ah you are looking into Mitos family tree. However you won't be able to find her there, as family tree of Uzumaki clan was stopped being recorded by Konoha upon fall of Uzushino, the Uzumaki clans home. I don't know how Mito survived, but apparently she was from royal blood and was one of last that made it. "
Izuna was surprised, so she was Uzumaki too, he pretend to be obvious :" so rabbit was really Uzumaki. I didn't know, but there were rumors about her red hair. "
Izuna thanked god that he remembered stuff, and that he didn't give himself away. He had to just come up with time when he had died, and his back story wouldn't be questioned. He should find some massacre that was recorded but Black Zetsu wouldn't be able to find about it. He still needs to figure in how much of a mess he actually was.
Mito on the other side woke up without problems, she sat on her bed the time was 10 am, which wasn't when she would usually wake up, but because she stayed until late, she slept in. She had to do something for a clan, few seals and she had a few people coming for a lesson. So she went downstairs to take a breakfast and then took change her clothes. She had to do a seal for, Uzumaki clan, and then she had to make as many as she could for the Uchiha weapon, she still refused to use its now official name :" the blessing of red goodness", really what was with that name, however named it didn't have any sense, she didn't do that much on the thing, in reality she only made a few percent of the whole process, as smelting and making the metal was 50 percent, and then there was seal she didn't make for it that were 35 percent, then Kushina putting down all the seals was 10 percent, so sh really didn't do much, but whatever, if everyone else was fine woth it, she couldn't complain.
Mito was done with the sealwork when the lunch was ready, it was unusual too eat lunch together as usually she would be out at this time, or someone would be absent, mostly Tamura, but today was one of those rare moments. Little Karin was eating happily with them. Karin would always make a mess around the table, Mito asked if maybe the child needed to go and see doctor, as it seemed that her eyesight wasn't normal. She obviously knew that Karin would end up getting glasses, but maybe if they started to treat her early enough she would get her eyes back to normal eyesight.
Mito was bored when she realized that the people that came were already good enough that they didn't need much help. She was looking at their works and knew that they were intermediate level, which was impressive however they lacked the will to experiment, they were a group of bookworms they followed the books instruction, but they didn't give anything theirs to the seal, which was extremely boring for Mito. She had asked them why they didn't want to experiment, and they answered that they would once they had all the theories down, which was admirable, but also foolish, the theories of seal were endless, but who was she to judge them, when she was similar in some aspects.
Finally after the study was over Mito could get out of her house and inspired by what Isobu said she could go and ask one person for a help. Someone that could understand what troubled her. She went to i&t, where she wasn't for few months maybe years, she didn't really know. Like last time there was both Ibiki and Tokara. They looked busy so she only greated them as they did same. She walked deeper into the building, that had many basement, however she didn't need to go down, she wanted to speak with someone in office. On the doors it said Yamanaka Inoichi. And Mito knocked 9n the doors. And soft noise was heard from inside, :" come in."
It was obvious that man wasn't expecting anyone as his desk was filled with paperwork he still didn't finish, however it wasn't that bad. Mito took a seat as Inoichi suggested :" take a seat, i must say that i didn't expect you."
Mito nodded :" ah, yes i am sorry that i didn't make an appointment, am i disturbing you."
Inoichi shook his :" not at all, i needed something to avert my attention fromthis mess. Did you need me for something. "
Mito froze for a second, she didn't really think about what she was about to say, she didn't know how to ask for help. She never did. So she spoke :" i think that i need some advices. "
Inoichi was surprised as he asked :" from me. "
Mito nodded :" yes from you, since you know most about thing that is troubling me."
A million things went through Inoichis mind, he usually was therapist for shinobi who have traumas, but he also could help with girl problems as long as it wasn't his daughter. He didn't know what was troubling Mito through. So he had to ask :" what is troubling you then."
