Hello! Welcome to 'Heroine' I'm the author of this fic Angel and you are now at my mercy!
So ha!
Warning: If you don't like femNaru or the idea of 'Naruko' getting together with Shikamaru then turn back, if you don't mind then by all means continue
A/N: So the is a story with a female Naruto which is obviously a very unoriginal idea…but hopefully I will be able to give it enough original themes and those cool twists and turns that frustrates you readers to make it worth reading but only time will tell. Oh and the first chapter is short and most if not ALL of the chapters will be short, I can't promise long chapters but for the next week I can promise quick updates.
Also I wasn't exactly sure as what the rating should be, I think M is appropriate but if someone could tell me there thoughts that would be great.
Warning: Mentions of rape and abuse if you don't like them as stated earlier turn back!
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto does.
'I have to run!'
A small girl thought as she ran down the street in terror, the few streetlights not giving her any comfort as the footsteps behind her got louder.
'I have to get away!'
The light shines over her form for a moment as she rushes past revealing bright blonde hair with a single outlandish red streak shooting through it, tanned skin, whisker marked cheeks and bright blue eyes that might have been pretty if they weren't full of fear
'I can't be caught, not this time!'
Uzumaki Naruko hated her life.
In the daytime it wasn't so bad, sure she was pretty much ignored everywhere she went and only a few stores dared to sell stuff to her which is why Rin-nee-chan did most of her shopping for her.
But still being ignored was better then being attacked. And that was saying something because Naruko HATED being ignored. That was why she wanted to become Hokage, so that the whole village would stop disrespecting her and start treating her like she was somebody; somebody important! Not just a punching bag...
This is why by default the daytime is better. In the daytime she had Rin-nee-chan, Teuchi-ojii-san, Ayame-nee-chan and Hokage-jiji to watch out for her. Sometimes she even got the cool dog-masked ANBU to play with her when she was at the park! But at night; in the darkness she was all alone.
"Get back here demon!" One of the men shouted and Naruko let out a high-pitched scream as one of them grabbed the collar of her shirt and lifted her up of the ground.
"Thought you could run from us, Kyuubi?!"
"That's not my name!" Naruko cried desperately "You have the wrong girl, my name is Naruko! Not Kyuubi, Naruko!"
"You think you can fool us demon?" The man who held her growled and Naruko felt her heart drop into her stomach. They never believed her. Naruko didn't know why anyone would name there child after the Nine-Tailed Fox that had attacked the village a long time ago, but whatever this Kyuubi girl did it must have been bad. She must look a lot like this mystery girl because it seemed that almost all of the villagers mistook her for this girl that she had never met.
"Let's finish what Yondaime-sama started!"
Naruko let out a small gasp as she flew through the air and hit the wall of an alleyway and she crumpled to the ground, the wind knocked out of her. As the three men loomed over her Naruko felt tears come to her eyes. She squealed and screamed as they kicked and punched her. Maybe is she was loud enough this time someone would hear. Maybe someone would hear and they would call Hokage-jiji and he would send his ANBU to svae her!
'No one ever hears though...'
She felt something warm running down her forehead, mizing with her tears.
'Blood'
"Why don't we see how entertaining the demon girl can be guys?"
She screamed as loud as she could and struggled as they tugged and tore at her clothes. She met her attackers eyes for just a moment and Naruko realized their eyes were filled with something that at the time she could not comprehend. An emotion she could not recognize. One day when she was older she would learn that it was called lust.
'Lust'
"Where is she?!" Rin screamed as she ran through the halls of her own hospital. As the head of the hospital as soon as she had heard that the girl she considered her own sister had come in, in critical condition she had gone berserk. And no one gets in the way of an angry Rin.
'Room 209, room 209, room 209!' She repeated the room number like a prayer as she rushed down the hall and skidded to a halt in front of a white door, completely solid except for three ominous numbers at the top of it.
She burst into a room and saw her poor sister, blond hair a mess and covered in dirt lying still on a hospital bed. Dog-better known as her pain-in-the-ass friend Hatake Kakashi was standing off to the side with his head bowed and Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage and the so called Kami no Shinobi was sitting on a chair by Naruko's side a defeated look on his aged face. Rin let out a choked sob as she rushed over to her dead senseis only daughter, the tears making the tattoos on her cheeks appear striped.
"Why? Why is her life so Horrible?! Why is it that she just can't get a break?!" Rin cried clutching the little girl's hand knowing that there was no need to worry about the girl waking up right now.
"Rin…" Kakashi started but he was cut off by the enraged kunoichi
"No! I won't stand for this Kakashi! Hokage-sama the council has gone out of there way to make sure Naruko is all alone. They refuse to let anyone adopt her!" Rin growled as she stared at the leader of her village "Well not anymore! You can tell the council to bite me Sarutobi! Naruko is coming to live with me!"
Hiruzen was a bit surprised as this was the first time he had ever seen Rin get so angry but her anger was justified.
The Sandaime sighed and nodded his head; he had failed the girl he liked to think of as his own granddaughter. He had failed her, the Hokage was supposed to protect the village but somehow this bright, intelligent little girl who visited him almost everyday had managed to slip through the cracks. It was time he dealt with the council, Rin was right they had far too much power.
Not only Rin but the Ichiraku, The Nara, The Akimichi, The Inuzuka and The Yamanaka had all tried to adopt Naruko over the years but the council had refused. Ever since Kushina's tragic death when Naruko was two she had been all alone. She had trouble making friends because their parents told them to stay away from her, and at school her tests had all been sabotaged.
"How many times will this village fail you Naruko?" Hiruzen sighed before standing up, his eyes becoming cold as he stepped into his place. He was the Hokage and his word was law, no longer would others speak for him.
"Dog."
"Yes Hokage-sama." The ANBU member and Naruko's secret god-brother asked
"Where are the men that did this to Naruko?"
"Dead sir." Rin and the Sandaime both turned there heads towards him, Rin eyes being confused and slightly pleased while the Sandaime just seemed confused.
"How is it that they are dead?" Hiruzen asked quietly
"When ANBU were finally alerted it was already over…Naruko-chan killed them herself, she was surrounded by a strange red coat of chakra and her eyes had become purple. I believe it was the Kyuubi's doing" Kakashi explained coolly "There bodies had been torn apart; it looked like a battlefield and Naruko was just lying there…staring at nothing."
Hiruzen frowned. Most of the Shinobi in the village must have felt that chakra and the council would most likely raise hell. In the words of the Nara Clan this would be troublesome but...he had screwed up and now he would have to just deal with it. Anything for Naruko.
"Well…" He sighed "There is nothing we can do now; I will tell the council that they will no longer have any control over Naruko's life. Because of them she has lost so much…"
"I'm glad to hear that Hokage-sama." Kakashi replied in a dead voice and the Sandaime sighed again as he looked down at Naruko's broken body, already healing thanks to her tenant.
'Oh my child, how many times will this village you love so much fail you?'
As the sun rose a tiny girl lay in a hospital bed, the rise and fall of her chest being the only indication that she was alive, and trapped inside of that girl a once mighty fox demon let out a low growl of anger that was directed at Konohagakure no Satou, the village he had only started to hate AFTER he had been sealed away.
So there you go, first chapter complete!
A/N: Okay I know that this story is looking pretty dark right now but trust me when I say Naruto isn't going to be all angsty and broody (Sasuke is broody enough for the whole leaf village). She going to have a guardian and well…she's female so obviously things will be different. There will be some obvious changes but I'm going to be sticking with canon for a lot of things.
Anyway I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of Heroine.
~The Angel Hidden in the Leaves
Next Chapter: Naruto recovers with Rin and joins the Ninja Academy.
