Life of an Uzumaki prologue

"Kyuubi speech"
Kyuubi thoughts
It was just a normal day in Konoha when Naruto woke up, but it wasn't, not for him anyway. It was Naruto's fifteenth birth day today. 'Hinata-chan should be coming over soon; after all, it's my birthday. Better go wash up.' Thought Naruto as he made his way to the rest room, about to relieve himself. He didn't notice that he had one problem. (A/N I'll tell you what it is later)
Hinata had just woke up, after all of her morning stuff, she left the Hyuga clan house to visit Naruto, after telling her father about her plans for the day with Naruto. Hiashi didn't really mind. So Hinata began her trek toward Naruto's house.
Hinata arrived there at exactly eight, like they agreed on. She knocked, but the door was open. 'I told him to lock his door!'
She opened the door, and walked around, and heard someone in the rest room.
'Why is there someone in Naruto's restroom? I don't think its Naruto, but I'd better go check…'
Hinata opens the restroom door, and is greeted by a beautiful blond haired girl, who didn't notice Hinata, before she turned around.
"Ah! Hinata-hime, I'm naked!"
"Oh sorry! I didn't mean to walk in on you. I'll just wait outside."
'Wait a second; Hinata-hime has seen me naked a few times, so why was I so embarrassed this time? Hmm, maybe something is wrong with me. Where's that mirror?'
Eventually finding the mirror, Naruto starts to step up to his mirror, but before he can reach the mirror, he faints, slumping to the floor. Hinata heard a body slam onto the floor, and went back in to get the girl more comfortable. Having nothing better to do, Hinata grabs a hair brush, and begins brushing her hair.
-In Naruto's mindscape-
The place was not the unpleasant sewer like it once was. It had changed into a meadow of lilacs, carnations, and sun flowers, but there was no sign of the Kyuubi.
"Hello kitling."
'Where are you?'
"Ah, about that, well, thanks to Yondaime's seal, when you reached the age of fifteen, I merged with you, and I have no idea where I am right now, but by me merging with you, there were some interesting side effects. As you should have realized by now, I am a female, but you are a male. But by merging with you, you essentially became…female."
'NANI?! But…never mind, is there a mirror here?'
"The only mirror is in the real world. You have to leave, go ahead and look at yourself, Natsuki."
'Natsuki? I guess that it's my new name…I like it.'
The newly christened Natsuki left her mindscape.
The first thing that Natsuki noticed was that Hinata was doing her hair.
"Ano, Hinata-hime, can I get dressed?"
"Sure, but I want to know who you are, and what were you doing in Naruto's rest room? I'll keep doing your hair."
"OK, to understand who I am, I have to tell you a secret, but I'm afraid that if I do, you'll leave me forever. I don't want that."
"Of course I won't leave you. I may have just met you, but you provide a soothing and relaxing aura around yourself."
"Good, Hinata, do you know the story of the nine tailed fox attacking this village 15 years ago?"
"Yeah, the great Yondaime, at the cost of his own life, killed the demon."
"That's not it. Sure, he defeated the demon, but demons can't be killed by mortals. Rather, at the cost of his life, he sealed the demon into a new borne, me."
Hinata gasps.
"But that's not the whole story. Let me tell you about the boy named Naruto. He was abused at a young age, and he was so lonely. He made friends with you, and he has never been happier, until today. You may not know this, but Kyuubi was a girl, so on Naruto's fifteenth birthday, which happens to be today, Kyuubi and the demon brat, as Naruto was called, fused together. Hinata, I'm Naruto, but I fused with Kyuubi. Unfortunately, the side effect of that is…this. I'll understand if you want to leave me now…for being a monster…"
Instead of Hinata leaving, Hinata hugs him, shedding a few tears.
"No one should have to live a life like you did! If only I had known sooner, I could have saved you from a life of loneliness. By the way, Naruto, happy birthday, and nice birthday suit."
"Oh I'm still naked? How embarrassing. Can you help me dress? Oh and by the way, I'm not Naruto anymore. Now I am Natsuki."
"OK, Natsuki-chan. I suppose that you'll need to borrow my clothes…luckily, I brought some with me, let's go and get you cleaned up."
Natsuki looked at her reflection in the mirror, and a beautiful girl was staring back at her. She had shoulder length blond hair that Hinata draped over her left shoulder, a small yet perfect nose, full luscious lips, the largest blue eyes that you would ever see, and long curvy eye-lashes. She also didn't have the whisker marks anymore. She wore a light purple skirt over some black spandex that went all the way up to her hips. Her bra was fastened underneath a sky blue open necked tank top, exposing a little bit of her breasts. Natsuki also had on a lavender colored hooded jacket, that was also open necked, that was too small for a boy, but just right for a girl. Her body had all the right curves, and ample breasts, and she seemed to have shrunk in body mass. After she was done admiring herself in the mirror, she turned around.
"Listen Hinata-chan, no one is to know that Natsuki and Naruto are the same person, except maybe Tsunade."
"All right, Natsuki-chan."
"Hmm, I have to learn everything about females, especially since I essentially am one now."
Uh, forgot to mention one other thing…
'What? What is it?'
You have become the girl. Through the next half hour or so, you will become Uzumaki Natsuki, mind, body, and soul, with all the regular female hormones and everything, but you'll know what boys go though, as you will still have a piece of Naruto's mind within you.
'Great, just great.'
Over the next thirty minutes, Natsuki and Hinata talk about what it means to be a girl, as Natsuki was slowly, but surely absorbing the knowledge given to her by both Hinata and Kyuubi, while her hormones were starting to activate.
"So, Hinata, Naruto, my other self, was going out with you, but he's gone now. So who are you going out with now?"
"Naruto-kun was the only one for me, the one who inspired me to change. I'm afraid that I won't have a boy friend now, but I can have a girl friend, you Natsuki."
"Yeah, Hinata-hime, I'll be glad to be your girl friend. I'm not interested in boys like your cousin Neji, who already has Tenten anyway, Sasuke-teme, who is going out with Sakura, Shikamaru, who is going out with Temari, Choji, who is going out with Ino, Kiba, who is probably boy friends with Shino, and knowing Rock Lee, he is probably seeing Gai-sensei as a couple. Plus, I don't want to go out with Gaara, Kankuro, or any other boy for that matter."
"That's understandable. Come on, let's go see the Hokage."
Luckily, Natsuki and Hinata encountered no one on their way to the Hokage tower. They arrived almost at the same time as Tsunade, with Natsuki hiding behind some trees.
"Ah Hinata, why don't you step up to my office in a little bit? I need to get my morning coffee."
"Hai, Hokage-sama."
"Now, what can I do for you?"
"Actually, it's got nothing to do with me. I'm here because of an incident that happened with Naruto this morning."
"What? What happened to him?"
"See for yourself. All right, you can come in now."
"Oh why kami-sama?!" Exclaimed Tsunade.
"What? What's wrong?"
"Natsuki has developed all of her assets and is the perfect example of a woman, while I was called flat-chested until the age of twenty."
Natsuki and Hinata both sweat drop.
"Now, to make this more believable, Uzumaki Naruto is MIA, presumed killed, after he found his twin and only living relative, you. After we hold a funeral for him, we'll introduce Uzumaki Natsuki as the recently found twin sister of Naruto."
"OK, Tsunade-obaa-chan."
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" POW
Natsuki quickly used kawarami on the ANBU officer outside her office. The poor ANBU was knocked through the wall, leaving Natsuki laughing her butt off, and leaving a fuming Tsunade behind.
"Uzumaki Naruto was declared MIA from a routine A-rank mission that he was required to do alone. His body was found at 20:00 hours yesterday. The doctors did all that they could, but it was too late for him. He died an hour later. We are gathered here today, to mourn for the loss of one of our best shinobi." Said the pastor, Tsunade.
Everyone, even the rookie nine (minus Naruto and oddly, Hinata) were there. Even team Gai was there, accompanied by all of the jounin sensei and one chunnin, Umino Iruka, who was like a father to him, Hatake Kakashi, Naruto's sensei and uncle figure, who surprisingly, didn't have his perverted novel with him today, Maito Gai, who for once was completely silent, Yuuhi Kurenai, Sarutobi Asuma, and Shizune. The sannin Jiraiya, was also there. Even the families of the rookie nine were there. In fact, the only one not there was one Hyuga Hinata.
"Where is Hinata-sama? You would think that she would be here for Naruto's funeral."
"I think that she's mourning too much."
"Come to think of it, Hinata-sama didn't come home last night."
"How odd."
Tsunade allowed everyone a moment of silence, then made an announcement.
"On a brighter note, before Naruto died, he found who he was assigned to locate on this mission. You can find her at Naruto's apartment."
In a flash of what Tsunade could have considered shunshin speed, team 7 (Or what's left of them) and Neji immediately went to the blondes house. They found the door to be unlocked, so they step in, to be greeted by an eyeful. There were two girls in Naruto's bed room. One was a familiar midnight blue haired girl, which Neji immediately recognized as his cousin. The other was an unknown blue-eyed blonde. This girl had full luscious lips, long curly eye-lashes, and hair draped over her left shoulder, with a perfect figure which both Neji and Sasuke saw, but seemingly ignored.
"Hey, who are you?" Asked Sakura.
The girl and Hinata broke apart. "How rude, introduce yourself first!"
"Oh sorry, my name is Sakura, the heart throb over there is my friend, Sasuke-kun, and he is Hyuga Neji."
"Cousin to Hinata. Now get away before I make you."
"Yeah right. My name is Uzumaki Natsuki. I'm the twin sister of Naruto. According to my brothers will, all of his possessions, including his girl, are to be given to me. It's nice to meet you all."
"Twin…sister? My apologies, the loss of your brother must have been very hard on both of you, and you found comfort within each other."
"Yeah, now leave us alone!"
Natsuki shows them to the door, and slams the door in their faces, locks it, and continues to make out with Hinata, who on Naruto's 'death', became a lesbian.
Hinata didn't come home that day, rather, she spent the night at Natsuki's house. Neji found that out the hard way, as he walked in on Natsuki and Hinata after their evening shower, right when they stepped out.
"HENTAI!"
Neji, acting cold and indifferent outside, only grunted as he was once again, showed to the door. However, on the inside, he was very red.
'Damn, Natsuki is hot! But it seems that my cousin has already claimed her heart, according to the will of Naruto.' With those thoughts, Neji left.
After Hinata showed her cousin the door and slammed it into his face, they both started giggling.
'Boys will be boys…' They thought at the same time, then put on their nightgowns, and played a quick game of Hide and Go Seek, with Hinata as the seeker and Naruto using kage bunshin to hide through out the house. Hinata was not allowed to use her byakugon, and she was counting. "Ninety-nine…one hundred! Ready or not here I come!"
Of course, one problem for Natsuki is that the apartment was too small, so the 5 kage bunshin hid in plain sight under a henge. Hinata began her search for Natsuki.
"Found you."
"Wow, your good, but unfortunately, I'm a kage bunshin, 1 of 5. See you."
The kage bunshin dispels itself. 4 kage bunshin later, and Hinata still hasn't found Natsuki. The real Natsuki was hidden on Hinata herself, as a wristband, which Hinata wasn't wearing.
'Where is she?'
Hinata searches well into the night, ended up very tired, and started dragging herself to the bed. Laying down on it, she was surprised to see Natsuki appearing beside her.
"Your arms, they are so soft, Hinata-hime. I should know, I just spent the last hour as a wristband that you were wearing."
The two girls giggle, then snuggle while going to sleep while both of them had happy expressions on their faces.
Chapter 1:
Life of an Uzumaki
Hinata was very comfortable for some reason, as she hugged the fluffy appendage harder. "Hmm, Hinata-hime, that feels so relaxing…" Hinata opens her eyes, to find herself in Naruto's apartment.
"Good morning, Nat…su…ki-chan." Hinata said, obviously failing to stifle her yawn.
"Good morning, Hi…nata…hime." Obviously, Natsuki also had difficulties stifling her own yawn as she got up.
"I got a tail!" Natsuki exclaimed.
Cough, another side effect, all of these changes are having a negative effect on me…my energy is being drained, and I'm slowly fading away, but I wouldn't worry about that, I can come in your time of need.
"Not only tails, but you have ears too!"
Indeed, when Natsuki ran into her rest room, a young girl stared back at her, still without the whisker marks, full luscious lips, long curly eye-lashes, and a small and perfect nose, but she also grew a purple tail tipped with blonde, and two blonde ears on the top of her head. Of course, Natsuki didn't really mind, but she had a feeling that everyone else will.
'Oy Kyuubi, are you still there?'
For a while, I'll be gone by tomorrow.
'Do you have a jutsu or something to cover my furry appendages?'
Yes I do, why don't you take a look at all of the kitsune jutsu in your mind? One of them is Kitsune henge no jutsu. You could use that.
'All right, arigatou, Kyuubi.'
"Kitsune henge no jutsu!"
A cloud of smoke temporarily surrounds Natsuki. When it cleared, Natsuki looked normal. 'This jutsu is only temporary. It only lasts for twenty four hours at the most, I have to dispel it while in bed, and do it again when I wake up.' Natsuki thought, as she still had to take her shower. She didn't even have time to turn on the water before she was tapped on the shoulder by Hinata.
"Ano, can we take a shower together?"
"Sure thing, what are girlfriends for?"
Striping down completely naked and enter the shower stall together.
After they got dressed, a breakfast for two was made by Hinata, scrambled eggs, toast, two buttermilk pancakes, and two cups of milk. Finishing their meal quickly, they left the apartment complex together, where they first went back to Hinata's home, then went to the market place, where they entered a place called the Women's Outlet for Kunoichi of Konoha, where Natsuki bought new clothes. She had on black sandals and black spandex leggings underneath a purple skirt. She bought a sports bra that had the top exposing some of it, a lavender open short sleeved shirt that was accented by sky blue, but exposed a bit of her belly, with the Uzumaki spiral on the back, some black metaled fingerless gloves, and a new shuriken and kunai holster tied to either leg. Her headband was going to be fastened around her neck, and not on her forehead. She styled her hair a little differently, she curled the front of it, giving her a bang on the right side, and the rest of her hair was draped over her left shoulder. Before putting on her headband, Hinata took Natsuki to the hot springs. Of course Natsuki/Naruto forgot that the hot springs were the number one hit spot for a certain pervert. Indeed,, Jiraiya was conducting research by peeping. He peeped while the girls were peacefully unaware of his presence, that is, until Natsuki looked around and saw a flash of white spiky hair. Growing suspicious, she tapped Hinata on the shoulder, Hinata used her byakugon to look in the indicated direction, and saw the toad sannin, Jiraiya. Getting a brilliant idea, she told all of the kunoichi in the room (Which was everyone) into doing a henge to become a boy, because Jiraiya doesn't mind peeping on girls, but he would not like peeping at his own sexuality.
"Henge no jutsu!" The perverted from hermit, Jiraiya, was caught completely off guard as all the hot women in the spring became man, and he was grossed out, and eventually passed out, leaving the beautiful women in the springs soaking peacefully, now perfectly aware of using henge to scare off Jiraiya.
Uzumaki Natsuki, after exiting the hot springs with Hinata, used henge on a rock to make it a man, then placed the man on top of Jiraiya. Laughing, they set off.
Jiraiya woke up, and felt a light weight on his back. Looking gleeful that he finally got laid, he flipped around to kiss the girl, only to find a male.
'Oh hell no!' Jiraiya immediately took off, flinging the man over his shoulder, and running away, past two ladies who were on their way to the Hokage Tower. When Hinata and Natsuki see a cloud of dust produced from Jiraiya, she dispelled the henge on the rock. Now, while the two girls were giggling madly, they made their way to the Hokage Tower, to Tsunade's office. After telling her about Jiraiya, she blinked, and then laughed hard. Putting on her forehead protector to officially become a shinobi of Konoha, she couldn't be happier, especially with a great best friend and girl friend, Hinata, Kyuubi, even though she was almost gone, and the perverted Jiraiya off somewhere, probably hiding, Natsuki took Hinata's hand and swung it upwards, ready to take on the world.
"All right, Tsunade-sama, I'm ready for a mission!"
"Good, but before that, I have to judge you in battle. For all we know, your skills have declined, or gotten better, to test you, you must defeat a genin of my choice. Hmm, your opponent is Uchiha Sasuke."
"The teme? We were both equally strong when I was Naruto, but as Natsuki, well, this is going to be hard."
"Uchiha Sasuke, he will meet you at training ground 7 in a half hour, remember that this is just a test to judge your rank, because you might be stronger or weaker then the average genin."
The brooding Uchiha was called to training ground 7. The only reason that he came was because the Hokage had promised him a 'worthy opponent'. However, to his disappointment, the blonde girl from yesterday showed up.
"So Sasuke-san, ready to fight?"
"Normally, I don't hit girls, but you remind me of Naruto."
"That's understandable, after all, I am his twin."
"Twin or no twin, you must be weaker then him." Sasuke assumes a battle stance, as does Natsuki. Tsunade arrived to judge.
"Contestants ready? Begin!"
Sasuke didn't expect Natsuki to immediately charge in, but he dodged her blows quite easily. Early on, he seemed to be winning, but that was before she got serious.
"Kage bunshin no jutsu!"
'What shadow clones?' Sasuke thought as 4 clones appear. Sasuke takes defensive measures to defend himself.
One of the Natsuki aim a jab at Sasuke's head, but Sasuke dodges by bending his neck to the left side, but was unprepared when Natsuki drops, planting a heel kick on Sasuke. "U!"
'Uzumaki Naruto rendan?' "ZUMAKI!"
'Looks like it…' "Natsuki rendan!" Cries the final Natsuki as she plants both feet on Sasuke, making him spit out blood. 'My turn…' After the bunshin of Natsuki were dispelled, Sasuke replaced himself with the smoke that one of the bunshin dispelled. When Sasuke appeared in front of Natsuki, he planted a heel kick propelling her into the air, then follows her into the air. "Shishi rendan!"
Natsuki was pissed, and instinctively activated her bloodline.
'What the? Time seems to be slowing down. Better looks this up.'
Kokugen, a doujutsu. Allows slow down of time, but still allows you to move normally. Turns eye-color blue, with a hint of lavender irises.
(A/N I got this bloodline limit from YaoiRocks -One's true heart-)
'Kokugen…interesting…'
The trees stopped swaying in the wind, and Sasuke stopped moving. Smirking, Natsuki prepared the finishing blow.
-In Sasuke's and Tsunade's point of view-
One moment, Natsuki seemed to just be standing there, but the next instant, she disappeared. Sasuke briefly saw a flash of lavender irises, before a great pain was felt in his stomach, knocking the wind out of him.
'Wow I didn't expect that…' Thought Tsunade. 'Hmm, she appears to be high genin or low chunnin level…'
"Sasuke is unable to continue. Uzumaki Natsuki wins! Now come to my office so that I can assign you a rank, and maybe a mission."
"What? I'm still a genin in rank? By now, I should be a chunnin."
"Truthfully, Natsuki, you are chunnin level. However, you haven't passed the chunnin exams. Until then, you will remain a genin. Besides, it's better this way. Nara Shikamaru has become a chunnin, which means that we only have 8 rookie genin, not including you. I'm reorganizing the rookie nine squads. Call the rest of the rookies." This statement was directed at both Natsuki and an ANBU. The ANBU disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"All right, everyone is here, I am reorganizing your squads. Team 7 will be lead by Hatake Kakashi, and will consists of Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and Inuzuka Kiba. Team 10 will be lead by Yuuhi Kurenai, and will consist of Aburame Shino, Akamichi Choji, and Yamanaka Ino. Team 8 will be lead by Sarutobi, Asuma, and will consist of Hyuga Hinata, Uzumaki Natsuki, and Nara Shikamaru. In order for you to get familiar with your new team mates, I will assign simple missions."
"Team 8, your mission will be c-ranked, and will be to transport these goods to the small town about two kilometers from the Southern gate of Konoha."
"Troublesome…"
Team 8 did the mission by themselves, and they weren't accompanied by their sensei, Asuma. About one kilometer into their journey, they were ambushed by about 25 mercenaries. Team 8 swiftly form a triangle formation around the goods, and the leader of the mercenaries stepped up.
"Which one of you is the leader? Because I want to challenge him or her to a one on one fight."
"Our leader isn't…" Natsuki didn't get to finish as the leader was facing off against Asuma with his trench knives out.
The triangle formation was loosely broke apart, as team 8 split up and fought the rogue mercenaries.
"Kage bunshin no jutsu!"
"Kage mane no jutsu!"
"Byakugon!"
The enemy were a little intimidated at the skill level of their enemies, but got ready to battle anyway. With some well placed jyuken blows, ten of the enemies were knocked unconscious. 5 were trapped in Shikamaru's kage mane, then killed with a shuriken.
"Kokugen!"
Natsuki seemed to disappear as one by one, all of the remaining mercenary fell instantly. After that, the mission was accomplished rather quickly, and they finally returned to Konoha in the evening,, but they still had an hour for training. Asuma trained everybody hard, despite being very laid back and relaxed. They were tested on their chakra affinities.
"Each one of these papers respond to your chakra. Channel your chakra through the paper. If it is cut in half vertically, you have a wind elemental affinity. If it becomes wet, your elemental affinity is water. If it shrivels up, then it is a fire affinity. If it crumbles, your affinity will be lightning. Finally, if it is shredded into tiny bits, your elemental affinity will be earth."
Everyone grabs a paper, and channel chakra. Naruto's paper is cut in half vertically, signifying wind element. Hinata's paper becomes soaked, signifying a water element. Shikamaru's paper shreds, signifying earth element. Asuma, being a wind elemental user, plans to teach Natsuki, while he was going to politely ask for an earth master and a water elementalist to teach his other two students, Hinata and Shikamaru.
