CHAPTER 1
Beginning
Hello, everyone!
This is my first fanfic. In general it's about Naruko added into original story.
Warning: I know my English sucks. English is not my native language. But my friend helped, so maybe it's not so bad. Well, I warned you. :c)
Disclaimer: I really don't own Naruto.
„Sorry, if I'm wrong, but shouldn't you sit in class right now?" Sounded over the head of blond boy with bright blue eyes. He was dressed in orange sweat pants, black T-shirt and a sweatshirt in the same color as pants, last one tied around his waist. Everything was stained with paint, but he obviously didn't mind.
„Same for you." Naruto glanced up, where his sister was sitting. She looked almost like him, but her features were softer and her long hair were tied in two pony tails. She wore fishnet undershirt, blue miniskirt and sleeveless west. Black knee-long leggings and long fingerless gloves.
They both had whiskers like marks on their cheeks.
„Why are you doing this?"
"Because one day I'll be Hokage and..."
"...and some brat will do the same thing to your portrait."
"Then why don't you stop me?"
"Because you're obviously enjoying yourself." Naruto smirked at her, on which she answered with her wide smile.
"You have a minute before they are here."
Naruto finished his artwork. His sister pulled him up and a chase started. One of the best. But...
"Iruka-sensei!!!" Whole class cried.
"Say your thanks to the twins."
The said twins were showered by silent scolding by their classmates as they lined up, so they could perform transformation jutsu. When Naruto's turn was almost at hand, blond whispered following words into his sister's ear: "Join me."
Naruko was used to such situations. She knew, she will understand eventually. Naruto on the other hand knew Naruko's reaction won't be a failure.
„Henge!"
Instead of Naruto young, well curved and very naked girl with provocative look stood in front of Iruka. Under Iruka's nose appeared two red lines.
From behind girl silent 'puf' sounded and Iruka's copy came out of smoke. It seemed to be troubled and said: "Not here, Naruto." Then embraced blond girl, one hand on her chest, other covered her lap. Iruka fainted along with a few boys. Other boys were laughing. Thick concentration of killing intent appeared around girls.
Twins returned back with 'puf'. Their faces were lightened up with wide smiles. That was until Iruka woke up...
They both had to wash the Monument. After all those years Iruka knew that most of their pranks were Naruto's doing, but Naruko never stopped him. It wasn't because she agreed with him, but because she didn't want to take the fun from him. He was her only relative and somehow the only friend, and she wanted him to smile and be happy. To ignore all those looks and spiteful words, their everyday company. Naruto was the same. They had each other. Together faced up hatred of Konoha villagers. They never pleaded or cried. Together they walked on the path toward the day, when Konoha will see them as Naruko and Naruto, not as trash or something worst. Another step was right in front of them.
Graduation Exams and Bunshin no Jutsu. Naruto came out of class with his head down. Naruko should have come next, but she never came in. In the end, twins were only students, who didn't graduate. They were alone again, together, on a swing, were listening to silent comments of student's mothers.
Naruko stood up first.
"Come, Naru. I'll make us lunch."
Naruto just waved on her.
"I'll come later."
"As you wish."
An hour later, Naruto burst in the kitchen. "Naru, I have a plan so we can graduate. Mizuki-sensei told me about..."
It wasn't hard to get the scroll. Naruto distracted Hokage with his Sexy no Jutsu and meanwhile his sister was searching the archive. She didn't like this idea at first, but when they agreed, they will give it back later, she couldn't let go an opportunity to learn new Jutsu.
By the time they found out about Kyubi and beat Mizuki.
"You let him have most of fun."
"A few tens were enough for me. I don't have his stamina."
Naruto ran away for help. Naruko tried to treat Iruka's wounds. Forehead Protector glanced in fer hair.
----------------------------------------FLASHBACK--------------------------------------------------------------
"You two, come here."
"What is it, Iruka-sensei?" Asked Naruto.
"Close your eyes and pull out a hand." They did as he said. Iruka untied his Protector and laid it on their hands. Twins opened their eyes.
"Congratulations, you graduated." Iruka smiled. "Sorry, I have only one."
But Naruko smiled back and gave Iruka's Protector to her brother.
"You have this one, I'll get trophy."
Iruka and Naruto looked at her questioningly. She stood up, went to Mizuki and took his Protector.
"This one is mine."
---------------------------------------END OF FLASHBACK----------------------------------------------------
Naruko spoke again.
"I always thought, that people hated us because of our parents. That they done something bad, betrayed village, or something else, because no one ever talked about them. But this..."
„I don't know anything about your parents. And about Kyubi..., that was a wish of Hokage-sama. He hoped, people will calm down, if they were forbidden to speak about it. But those events were too tragic. Most of people lost their family members and all of us lost Yondaime. There are not many, who are able to accept, that Naruto was just innocently pulled in."
„I'm sorry for your parents, sensei."
"Please, don't say that as it's Naruto's fault."
Iruka caressed her hair. Naruko repaid with light smile. After few minutes Naruto came back with couple of shinobi.
Naruto fell asleep as soon as he hit a bed. He was so much exhausted from new jutsu. Naruko smiled for herself. 'I could describe it repeatedly, and he doesn't get it. But he tries it few times, and... '
"One day you will be the best Hokage, this village ever had. You just need some time, it'll be hard to surpass Third and Fourth."
Naruto mumbled something in sleep.
"Good night, bro."
She didn't go to sleep. Her head was full of thoughts and events of that day.
So Naru had Kyubi inside of him. Why did Yondaime choose him? Did he need newborn? Was it because of their parents? Were they already orphans? Parents. She didn't think about them since she decided villagers hate them because of them. But who were their parents? Why did they allow Yondaime to take their child and make him Demon's vessel? Did they allow it? Did he ask? In that moment, she saw picture of Yondaime in her mind.
A moment later Naruto was alone in their flat.
Sarutobi headed into his bedroom. The Scroll was back in archive, mess in village calmed down. What will come out of this day? He will deal with it, when it comes. Iruka told him, what happened. He was sad when founding about Naruko's presumptions about her parents. That was the last thing he wished for.
Deep in thoughts, he almost didn't notice light under one door. 'That's strange, I thought I turned off all lights.'
What he saw inside made him stunned. "Naruko."
She sat there on a sofa. Her chin rested on knees, her eyes locked on a row of four pictures. Rather on last of them. There was a legend under it: 'Yondaime, Namikaze Minato.'
When she turned around toward Sarutobi, her eyes were full of tears.
"This time, will you tell me about my parents? Please."
'So she found out.' There was no point in denial anymore.
"Your parents were wonderful people."
New wave of tears came into her eyes. Yes, that's the most important thing she had to hear. After years of doubt and suspicion, she needed to hear that her parents deserved her love.
Sarutobi sat down beside her and embraced her shoulders. She accepted that with gratitude.
„Iruka told me what you thought. I'm sorry how it all ended. How did you find out?"
Young girl calmed down and uncurled herself.
"My head was full of thoughts after today's events. I thought about day of our birth as well. Then picture of Yondaime flashed through my mind and everything fell on its place. Naruto looks like Yondaime's copy and I differ just in gender."
Old man smiled. "That's accurate."
"Don't villagers know or don't they just speak about it?"
"Minato and Kushina, you mother, weren't married, that's why you have her surname. They lived in secrecy, so only a few knew about them. And even fewer knew about pregnancy. I thought it would be safer for you, if I don't tell. Your father had many enemies."
"And mother?"
"She died soon after your birth. It was a long delivery and she lost lot of blood. No one could help her." Naruko saddened again.
"What was she like? I heard a lot about my father but nothing about her."
"Beautiful, energetic, cheerful,..."
Sarutobi spoke about her, but then a question came to him.
"Does Naruto know?"
"No. It's too soon for him. I think it would be better, if he found by himself. He is that type of person."
Sarutobi smiled for himself. 'So one of them inherited Minato's brain.'
After that none of them spoke. Naruko rested beside him and eventually fell asleep. He didn't wake her. Instead he brought her a blanket from another room and let her sleep on the sofa.
Naruto was surprised, when Naruko came in the next day morning, but he let it be, when she started to prepare a breakfast.
Next day.
„Hey, I'll make you my boss. And in exchange... Please teach me that Sexy no Jutsu which you defeated gramps with!"
Twins looked at small boy in front of them, confused.
"This is not my business." Said Naru.
"Naru, don't let me alone with him!"
Naru just waved to them and left.
"If you want an incredible title like Hokage that everyone will acknowledge, there ain't going to be any shortcuts."
"Blah, stop lecturing me like you know everything... I'm not letting you be my boss anymore. From now on... we are rivals."
"Sorry, but starting tomorrow I'm taking my first step as a shinobi, but one day I'll fight with you for the Hokage title! I'll be looking forward to it, Konohamaru."
In his tower, current Hokage smiled. Same smile was on a face of blond girl who sat on a branch of a nearby tree. They both said to themselves: "Good luck, you two."
Naruko couldn't hold in laughing. It started with unexpected kiss of her brother and Uchiha Sasuke. Right now she tried to protect her brother from furious Ino and Sakura. Fortunately Iruka entered the class and all of them sat down. Naruko sat next to Shikamaru.
"Naru, why are you up there?"
"Don't want to be in your way, doves!
Naruko was saved from Naruto with Iruka's: "OK, calm down everyone. Today we will form teams. Every team will have a Jonin sensei. Normally teams have 3 genin members, but this time one will have four. Let's begin..." Iruka started calling genins names.
"Team seven: Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki Naruko,...: Naruto glanced at his sister. "...Uzumaki Naruto,..." Sakura's head fall down. Naruto celebrated. "...Uchiha Sasuke." Naruto's and Sakura's reaction interchanged. Naruko laid down on her desk with silent sigh.
"At least it won't be boring." Commented Shikamaru cynically.
Naruko didn't listen to Naruto's arguing with Iruka. She didn't hate other two, but among girls she liked Hinata's type more and even so she liked Sasuke's intellect, she liked Shikamaru more, who was intelligent as well, but didn't show it so much. So she didn't hate them but with Naruto they formed one beautiful love triangle.
"No, it won't be boring..."
Their Jonin sensei came late and Naruto didn't like waiting...
"My first impression is... I don't like you guys."
"Kakashi? I'm not sure if someone likes us, or on the contrary hates us." Said Naruko. Other three didn't know, if they should react on sensei's or hers statement.
"We know each other?"
"I heard about you, sensei."
"Only truth, I hope."
"You tell me..."
They didn't say more and all five of them moved to the rooftop.
„Fine, let's start with introductions."
"What do you want to know?"
"Your likes, dislikes, dreams, hobbies. Something like that."
"Why don't you start?"
"Yes, you look quite suspicious..."
"Oh... me? My name is Hatake Kakashi... I'm not going to tell, what I like or dislike... Dreams... hmm... I have a lot of hobbies..."
"So only thing he told us was his name?"
"Let's start from the right."
„Yosh! My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like Ramen, I like even more, when Iruka-sensei treats me for it and Naruko here I like the most. I dislike when I have to wait three minutes for instant ramen. And my dream is... surpass the Hokage and then have the people of this village acknowledge my existence."
Kakashi thought: 'He's grown in an interesting way.'
"Hobbies... those would be pranks."
„Hmm, next."
„Uzumaki Naruko. Number one for me is my otouto, second would be Ramen and then... hm, probably cooking. I don't like people, who gloss over others. My dream is to become ANBU and never repent anything. Hobbies? Training and walks outside of Konoha, where nobody can see me."
„Interesting, next."
"Uchiha Sasuke. There are many things I hate and don't know about anything I would especially like. I don't know, if it's a dream, but I have an ambition. The resurrection of my clan and to kill a certain man."
'Cool.' (Sakura), 'He better not mean me.' (Naruto) 'Does he mean...?' (Naruko) 'Like I thought...' (Kakashi)
"Well, last one."
"Haruno Sakura. What I like..." Peek at Sasuke. "...who I like..." Peek at Sasuke. "... and, um my dream is..." Peek at Sasuke. "Yes! I dislike Naruto." Naruko's hand fisted. "My hobbies..." Peek at Sasuke.
'Girls of this age are more interested in love than ninjutsu.' (Kakashi)
„So far for the introductions. Tomorrow we will start our duties as shinobi. First we're going to do something with just the five of us. That would be Survival training."
"Survival training?"
"Why training? We've had enough training at the Academy."
"This isn't a normal training, this time, I'm your opponent."
"You? How many injuries are allowed?" Asked Naruko.
Kakashi just laughed silently.
"What's so funny, sensei?"
"Well... it's just that... when I tell you this you guys are totally going to freak out. Of the 28 graduates, at most ten will be chosen to become a genin. The rest will be send back to the academy."
Their expressions amused Kakashi. "I told you, you'd freak out."
All four had only one choice. To accept it.
„Naruto, if you won't stop with punching Kakashi's figurine, I'll tie you to your bed."
Naruko sighed and went on toward her room, when Naruto ignored her. But then he shouted out on her: "Don't help me tomorrow. I'll get him myself."
Naruko sighed again. "As you wish."
'Three bells, three lunches. Time until noon.And Kakashi is our opponent... Well. Maybe Sasuke. Sakura... no way. Naruto? He would need really a lot of luck. No, even with luck, he doesn't have a chance. Me? I'll wait what will Kakashi show me...' Those were Naruko's thoughts as all of them hid. Well, everyone but her brother. Word inconspicuous wasn't in his vocabulary.
'Naru didn't have a chance and I heard Sakura's scream not long ago.' Right now Naruko watched Sasuke's try. 'Gosh! So close. And now, Katon?! Well, Uchiha clan...' But even if he made Kakashi serious, there was no chance. 'Should I even try?'
When Naruko came to clock, others were already there. Naruto was tied up. Other two depressed.
„Naruko, may I ask what were you doing? I said, today showed who truly became genins."
"I'm realist, sensei. None of us has a chance to defeat you in direct fight. But I saw everything and will remember it for the next try." After that she smiled on Kakashi and sat down beside her brother.
'She was there?' Thought Kakashi.
"Fine, everyone looks hungry..." He noticed Sakura raising her hand.
"What is it, Sakura?"
"Sensei, where are the bells? None of us succeeded, right?"
If it was possible, you would see nervousness on Kakashi's face.
"I put them in my bag, they are not needed now. May I continue?"
„I'm sorry."
"Here, bro. Eat it."
"Don't do that, Naru. You will lose your chance of becoming genin."
"As I said, it doesn't matter to me. I won't let you be hungry, baka."
Sasuke also offered his lunch. "If you will feed him alone, there won't be left enough for you."
"Thanks, Sasuke.
"But, Sasuke-kun, sensei said..."
In the end, even Sakura offered her lunch. And outcome? They all passed. Teamwork was what Kakashi always searched for in his pupils and he finally found that.
Sakura and Sasuke were slowly leaving.
"Don't leave me behind!" Cried Naruto, still tied up. As soon as Naruko cut the rope, blond boy ran after other two. Naruko slowly followed, but Kakashi stopped her.
"You disappointed me. Sarutobi-sama said I shouldn't underestimate you, but you didn't show me anything."
"I said I'm realist. All four of us are far behind even thinking of defeating you. Well Sasuke touched the bells, but for how long? Second?"
"Then why are you even here? Other pulled out all their motivation in this test so they would do their best. Someone who one day says she doesn't want to regret anything, and other day just do nothing, doesn't have place in my team."
"I don't regret anything, sensei. I'm here because I graduated, want to be genin and want to assist my brother and the village. Well, maybe it's not much of a motivation, but what about others? Naruto wanted to kick your... you know what. Sakura doesn't want to lose opportunity of being with Sasuke. And mentioned Uchiha want to kill his own brother... wonderful, don't you think?"
"You're quite arrogant."
"As I said yesterday, I don't like people who gloss over others."
"You yourself said, you didn't have a chance."
Naruko smiled. She put her rucksack on her back and reached into her pocket. With fisted hand she smiled little too much innocently and looked at her sensei.
"Yes, in direct fight we have no chance... But it seems that little bit of sneaking is able to confuse even former ANBU."
She put three bells on Kakashi's palm and headed for Konoha. After few moments, when Kakashi recovered from the shock , she was already gone.
Three Jonin leaders of successful genin teams met an hour later.
"Kakashi, so you really let them pass? I couldn't believe it." Asked Asuma, leader of Team 10.
"He has rookie of the year, he probably motivated others." Noted Kurenai from Team 8.
"Hmm, surprisingly, they could work as a team in the end. But I would like to know, did you ever have a student who didn't correspond to their school records?"
"Well, I suspect one, but no more. Who surprised you? Please don't tell me Uchiha failed." Answered Asuma.
"No, not him."
"Then Sakura? Nice, clever, but I don't think she can surprise. But then there are only twins left... Don't tell me...?!"
"Kami, no!"
"Then who? Naruto is on classes end, but he always tries his best. So you mean his sister? I don't understand her, but..." Kakashi interrupted her.
"She stole the bells and I don't even know when..."
Jaws of other Jonins dropped and silence fell on the room.
Naruko was sitting on a rooftop of the building, where her and Naruto lived. It was night and her brother was already sleeping. Suddenly person appeared next to her. She didn't invite him but wasn't surprised with his arrival.
"When did you took those bells?"
"When you was controlling Sakura's situation. I was on the tree behind you."
"How could you failed in exams for three times?"
"I didn't attempt those exams. Naruto would have to stay behind. That's something I didn't want."
„Childish."
„We both have just each other, it's not time to be separated. Not yet."
„Yare, yare. Your team will be interesting. " Kakashi sat down beside Naruko and relaxed.
"Exactly my words."
"I'm glad, that Hokage-sama appointed me for this team. Brings back memories."
"Is that so?"
Kakashi reached into his pocket and pulled out framed photograph. Naruko's eyes widened when she looked up at her sensei.
„Hokage-sama told me everything. I cannot tell Naruto, so I will speak with you instead. Your dad taught me a lot and always had my deep respect. I'm glad that I can repay him this way."
After that Naruko stared for a long time at photograph of team with smiling blond behind them.
Later on, Naruko laid on the roof and watched stars. Kakashi was sitting nearby and telling stories of his old team. Suddenly he interrupted himself with a question.
"Tell me, are your physical statistics misrepresented in the same way as your knowledge?"
"I'm afraid no. I know techniques, I'm accurate, but my physical strange and stamina are my weaknesses.
„Then we will have to change it."
"I'll follow your lead, sensei."
Kakashi suddenly realized how late it was.
"Time to go to sleep."
He was leaving, when Naruko spoke to him once more.
"Sensei, I remembered something right now. Not long ago I read about nature of chakra and that my affinity can be checked with special paper. Don't you know where can I get it?"
"Isn't it too soon for you? Chakra nature is very advanced."
"Sensei, I don't want to cause a flood, just want to try it."
"Well then, I'll bring you some."
"Thank you, sensei." Naruko smiled lightly. "Good Night."
"Night..."
Thanks for reading. What do you think?
I was said Naruko is too perfect and so she is boring and annoying. Maybe it's true.
If you think so, but want to read more, please, help me and bring in some vices for her.:c)
