I walk on a path with blood tracking my footsteps.
I will battle for those important to me.
Promises kept, some yet to be fufilled.
A fate, written in blood.
The fate, of a Hokage.

Chapter 1: Protect! Fight for the Sacred Scroll!
“Itadakimasu!”
It was almost night in Konoha, and Azuke was the ramen shop, slurping away at a nice bowl of pork fillet ramen, his favorite kind. The steam from the ramen was blowing up against his face, and it only made him want to eat more, Azuke now hypnotized into a ramen-eating frenzy. As he was about to finish his 3rd bowl of ramen, someone came in. It was his sensei.
“Old man, the usual.” said Naruto, as the old man nodded and gave him the ramen he always ate, as Naruto took out his chopsticks, and began eating. Azuke stopped to look at his sensei.
“What took you so long, Naruto-sensei?” said Azuke, and Naruto suddenly stopped eating. He had an uneasy look on his face, as if he was dealing with something serious. But when he turned to look at his pupil, his smiled.
“Just had to deal with some business. It’s alright now.” said Naruto, as he finished his bowl. Azuke gave him a suspicious look. It would be wise not to question it, Azuke thought. Naruto got up, and Azuke mimicked him.
“Now...Let’s see the move.” said Naruto strictly. He was always like this in training, but Azuke didn’t mind. It forced him to do his best. But they were ever so interrupted once more by two Jounin, with another thing to report.
“Hokage-sama, the sacred scroll is...gone!” said one of the Jounin. Naruto had a shocked look on his face, as he looked at Azuke, and looked back at the Jounins.
“Where did the thieves go?!”
“To the west. We brought along someone to help you.” said the Jounin. A person emerged from the shadows. He had long brown hair, and wore a robe with sleeves that covered his arms, the robe stopping at his knees, and wore black pants. His forehead protector was wrapped around his neck as well, his distinguishing feature: his white eyes.
“Hyuuga Neji here.” said the white-eyed person. Naruto raised his eyebrows, and crossed his arms with a cool attitude.
“Old friend, its been a long time.” said Naruto. Neji smiled.
“No time to waste, Hokage-sama. We must go now!”
“Let’s go Azuke. You’re coming.”
“M-me?” said Azuke excitedly. His sensei nodded, as all three of them leaped onto the rooftops of the village, and headed west outside the village.
“You’re the legendary Hyuuga Neji?” said Azuke nervously, while they were advancing. Neji gave him a somewhat cold stare.
“Apprentice of yours?” said Neji.
“Indeed. Don’t underestimate him Neji-kun. He has great potential.” said Naruto. Neji nodded solemnly.
“I’ll keep that in mind. Byakugan!” said Neji, as veins near his white eyes pulsed out, his white eyes were activated. He saw three people running through the woods using the Byakugan(White Eyes), Neji being able to see their chakra circulatory system.
“They’re near. Hurry!” said Neji, as they all picked up the pace. Finally, they caught up to the three thieves, all hidden underneath black cloaks, Azuke and company coming up from behind. Naruto put up two fingers from his hands into a cross-like seal.
“I have them! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu**!” said Naruto, as nearly 50 shadow clones surrounded the thieves, the thieves having no place to hide.
** = Kage Bunshin no Jutsu means Shadow Clone Technique, the clones created from this technique real, and can deal physical damage.
“Who are you people?” demanded Neji, as he stood in his Jyuuken stance(Gentle Fist style), One hand extended to the enemy, while the other hand was made into a fist, the fist close to his side. But Azuke stood in front of Neji defiantly, in the Tekken stance(Iron Fist style), with one arm behind him, while one arm was out to the enemies, his hand flatly open.
“Please let me deal justice to these thieves.” said Azuke with a somewhat politeness to his request. What he said rung a bell with Neji, as if he heard it before. Then he remembered a comrade saying it, long ago. He smiled and stepped back until he was beside Naruto.
“Time to put my training to work. Prepare yourselves!” commanded Azuke, as he set his feet apart.
“Taijutsu user?” said Neji, as Azuke charged at the three, and Azuke disappeared. He appeared behind the three, and took out the two on the side with two kicks, and when he tried a sweeping kick, the person in the middle, who had the sacred scroll on his back, noticed his movement and leaped from the attack.
“Azuke has talent in ninjutsu and genjutsu, but if there’s one thing he excels at, its taijutsu. Consider him a triple threat, Neji.” said Naruto proudly, Azuke now in a handstand position and attacking the enemy with his feet, the enemy hardly keeping up with Azuke.
“Where did you get such an apprentice?” said Neji in amazement. “You know of the Konoha Massacre 7 years ago, right?” said Naruto with a grim expression on his face, as if he was remembering it.
“Yes...seven years ago, many great Jounin and innocents were all killed brutally one night, with no signs of a killer, the villagers assumed it was a curse or some sort of cruel punishment. But the way they were killed...it’s too unbearable to think about.” said Neji. Naruto nodded.
“But in the midst of the bodies and blood, I found a little boy, no older than 5, bathed in the blood of the villagers...” said Naruto. Neji looked at him, and then realized the truth.
“You’re trying to tell me..Azuke is the one responsible for the Massacre?!” Neji yelled. Naruto solemnly nodded.
“That’s only part of the truth, Neji. But then I realized that it wasn’t Azuke’s fault, but the power he had that was the true killer.” said Naruto, Neji’s white eyes no limping pools of eagerness.
“Azuke is able to freely use and control...Soul Chakra.” said Naruto. Neji stepped back from Naruto, Naruto’s words making Neji falter.
“..Impossible!”
“At first I couldn’t believe it as well, until I saw it first hand. Normally, to access Soul Chakra, one must open the 8th Chakra Gate, also known as the Death Gate. When the user opens it, they are able to use Soul Chakra, but die shortly after, due to the fact that you’re dispensing the body in order to do it. But this is not in Azuke’s case.” Naruto said, as he explained Azuke’s power.
It seems Azuke was born with a Bloodline Limit, him being the only one who has it. The Bloodline Limit is called the ‘Soul Gate’. It’s like a 9th Gate of Chakra, so to speak. When Azuke opens this gate, he is able to use Soul Chakra freely without the fear of death. Like my Nine-Tailed Fox Chakra, Soul Chakra is like a second source for him. It seems the more he uses it, the more Soul Chakra fuses with his own, and who knows how powerful he may be. But the drawback to this is that, if he uses too much Soul Chakra, he may lose himself in it and become an unstoppable force that could destroy anything in its path. So it's needless to say that Azuke has a limit to how much Soul Chakra he can use. That’s why I’m teaching him to keep his Soul Chakra in check, so that won’t happen.
“Incredible...I’ve never heard of such a Bloodline Limit.” said Neji, astounded by this information.
"I know...I didn't believe it too, until I saw it first hand. With his Soul Chakra, he was able to master the Rasengan at the age of 9."
“Asshou!” said Azuke, as he clapped his fists together, and slammed them into the ground, the ground splitting, jagged edges bursting from the ground. But the enemy stood at the top of a jagged peak and smiled.
“You’re pretty good. But now end this!” the enemy said, as he quickly formed a few hand seals.
“Dark Ninja Art: Snake Bind Constriction!” he said, as a sea of snakes bursted from his hands, as they wrapped themselves around Azuke, and started to constrict him greatly.
“Looks like you die here.” said the enemy, as the snakes twisted and constricted even more, as Azuke gagged from it, and closed his eyes.
Naruto- sensei...
....No! I’m not dying here!
As the enemy was about to do maximum constriction, the snakes around Azuke were soon vaporized by Azuke’s field of Chakra, as dark blue and green chakra swirled around him intensely.
“He’s activated it! He's activated his Soul Chakra!” said Naruto, for he's seen this chakra field before during their training. Azuke formed a few hand seals, and faced his palm at the ground, chakra gathering in his hand, the chakra now visible. The ball of chakra now made the chirping of birds, and Naruto knew what move it was.
“Chidori!” said Azuke. But he wasn’t finished yet. He used his other hand, and chakra gathered there as well. Only this time the charka rotated, as he formed a ball with chakra spinning inside.
“Rasengan!” said Azuke. Naruto and Neji were baffled by Azuke’s actions, while the enemy froze in fear.
“Now for the final step..” Azuke said, as he brought the two balls of Chakra together. The chakra that was surrounding him now transferred itself into the middle of the two balls of chakra, as the Rasengan slowly fused with the Chidori, Azuke now holding one complete ball of chakra. Lightning rotating around it, the chakra rotation still visible, the ball a blue and green colour, the sound of chirping birds still heard.
“Success. Soul Technique: Rasendori!(Typhoon Edge)” Azuke yelled, as he charged at the enemy with great speed, his hand with the Rasendori aimed straight for the enemies’ stomach.
