I love how I hadn't given Naruto a second glance until a few weeks back.
Now I'm hooked!
Enjoy
Chapter One
I had been beaten more times than I could count. I remember each strike, each blow, each impact that I had ever received; the bones that shattered, the bruises that formed and the cuts that blossomed forth.
I was being beaten right now, the villagers had cornered me when my back was turned. The first strike always hurts the most; the crushing blow sends a pulse of pain through my body before I simply lay down and turn it all off.
Turn off the pain and the emotion, just leave my body and let it take the brunt of the damage. I always heal, it doesn't matter about that; I just lay and take it now. I didn't accept it before; I would fight back, injure them more than they could injure me, but that just made things worse.
They didn't stop, they never will; so, I just accept it now and try to avoid everyone. However, in a village of ninja, that's not the easiest thing in the world. I even left school because of the hatred, nothing but pure, raw hatred.
I hear them leave, bored with my current state and lack of reaction to their actions.
I sit up slowly and mentally check my injuries. Dislocated shoulder, broken thumb, black eye, blood nose and broken foot. Dozens of bruises and scratches all over but those weren't that bad; I cross my hands and a single shadow clone appears before me.
I had stolen a forbidden scroll from the Third Hokage's office to prove myself to my class, but all I got were more insults and another beating.
The clone grabs my arm and punches my shoulder, I scream out in pain and black out for a second, dispelling the clone in the process. However, I had relocated my shoulder; the black eye I couldn't do much about and the broken thumb would heal by morning.
I hopped through the village, avoiding the more populated streets and hiding when necessary. I turned onto my street and had to leap to the side into a nearby bush, as a group of villagers were coming toward me; they had previously beaten me and I wasn't up for another today.
I waited for them to pass before attempting to move; that's what would have happened had my good foot not lost its grip on the ground. I found myself sliding down a muddy slope, before I landed in a damp and dark creek.
The cold water stung my scratches but I didn't attempt to move, I simply sat and thought. Thought about who my parents might have been, thought about what my life could have been had I not been born as myself.
"You'll get a cold young one"
I didn't even turn to look at the source of the voice.
"Don't worry, I heal quickly" I say through a cracked voice.
I feel something drape over my shoulders before a pair of small hands drag me out of the creek and onto the side of the hill.
"Look at you boy, battered and bruised" sighed the voice.
I finally turned to see the stranger but all I saw was a small green frog with a purple cloak.
"You're… a frog?" I ask softly.
"A toad actually, my name is Shima" said the toad with a smile.
"Naruko…" I said with a tiny smile.
"Just Naruko?" asked Shima, as she wiped some dirt from my face.
I'd read about the toads of Mount Myoboku, they were supposedly rumoured to be hundreds of years old. There were massive ones that wielded weapons and smaller ones which could use ninjutsu to the highest degree, I didn't realize that they came to the Hidden Leaf though.
"Yeah… I didn't know my parents and no one says anything about them" I say, keeping my tears in check.
Shima seemed to be thinking something over.
"Would you like to come with me Naruko-boy?" asked Shima softly.
I sigh to myself.
"I'm actually a girl, I just cut my hair like this cause it's easy to manage" I say with a red face.
It's true that I look very much like a boy but I was most defiantly a girl; probably the result of my stubborn attitude and short, spiky, blonde hair.
"Oh… forgive me for assuming" laughed Shima.
"That's quite alright, wait… did you say go with you?" I ask in surprise, my mind finally comprehending her words.
"Yes, I am one of the two great toad sages. My husband and I would be more than happy to take you in and teach you, you'd be fed and protected in our mountain range" explained Shima with a toothless grin.
"That sounds… nice actually… I get beaten up here. I'm not complaining though, but this is home for me" I say with a sad sigh.
Shima nodded, before placing a small hand on my shoulder.
"Listen Naruko-girl, I can tell that you have great potential simply by looking at your chakra. If you stay here then it will never be nourished, come with me and we will teach you to become strong" said Shima with a stern nod.
I thought it over, she was convincing; I wanted nothing more than to just up and leave this place behind; but deep down I was scared. Scared to leave the one place I had called home for all my life, sure it might have been hell but it was still home.
"Okay… Grandma-Sage" I say with a small, nervous smile.
"Grandma-sage? I suppose I can live with that" laughed Shima before she jumped on my shoulder and clapped her hands together.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"Reverse Summoning Jutsu"
That's the last thing I here before I feel my body fold onto itself, I fall for a few seconds before landing firmly on the ground. Shima is still on my shoulder and smiling at me; I shake my head for a few moments before looking up.
"Ma? Who is this young boy?"
I see yet another small green toad standing before me, he has a deep grey goatee and matching hair. His hair reminded me of the third's and I couldn't help but giggle.
"Pa! This is a young girl, don't be so rude" said Shima with a swipe to his head.
"Really? My apologies girl, I simply assumed" apologized the toad quickly.
Shima sighed before gesturing to the toad.
"This is my husband, Lord Fukasaku; he is also the other great toad sage" explained Shima and I nodded lightly.
"I'm… Naruko" I say through chattered teeth.
I finally realized how cold this cave was, my rages were barley covering me, let along keeping me warm. Shima and Fukasaku seemed to notice and Grandma leapt off to find me some spare clothes whilst Grandpa started a fire.
"Alright Naruko-girl, I understand that you want to live her with us toads" said Fukasaku curiously.
I simply nodded, too cold to speak.
"Well then, I'm not going to refuse a soul that's been hurt in the past. Tell me, do you know any jutsu? Genjutsu? Taijutsu?" he asked me.
I nodded lightly and he gestured for me to demonstrate.
Bringing my hands up, I pulled off my shadow clone jutsu, a perfect replica appeared next to me; waving at the old toad before vanishing in a puff of smoke.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu huh? Very useful" noted the sage, "Would you like to learn Senjutsu or Sage Jutsu?"
Once again, I nodded.
"Oh Naruko-girl, let's get you changed. You can discuss training tomorrow, now you need a bath and some food!" declared Shima as she arrived with a cotton towel.
My chest suddenly contracted, I couldn't help it. I grabbed the two toads and hugged them as hard as I could, I couldn't stop the tears and I didn't want to. I simply cried and let all my emotion out; I was safe and had people who cared for me.
Ten Years Later
"Naruko-girl! Get up now!"
Those words startled me out of my nap and in my panic I rolled off the head of my napping statue. The sudden lack of solid surfaces woke me up quicker than a bucket of ice water and I channelled my chakra into my feet, grabbing onto the statue before I hit the ground.
"Pa! You scared the hell out of me!" I yell to the old toad below me.
"Language girl… Ma and I are going out for the day, just letting you know. Practice some Fuinjutsu if you're bored. Jamie-girl left you more than enough supplies last time she was here" said the old geezer with a smug grin.
"Fine!" I say with a wave of my hand, waking back up the side of the statue.
It's been ten years since the two toads took me in, ten years of gruelling training in the art of being a sage. I'm quite proud to say, with the help of some shadow clones of course, that I mastered sage jutsu in only half a year.
However, that wasn't the only thing they knew how to do, I even managed to hone a few of my natural jutsu. Wind, fire and water were the main three associated with me and both Ma and Pa had taught me some sweet advance techniques.
The only human contact I've had is with Ma and Pa's former student, apparently, she's one of the legendary three Sanin, whatever that means. She calls herself Jaime and helped me practice my frog kumite along with Pa.
She's nice and kind, even taught me my Dad's signature move!
Oh… and she told me about my parents, I was upset at first but I understood where the Third's mind set was at eventually. She also told me about the tailed beast sealed within me and that it was the reason why all the villagers were so scared of me.
Despite knowing who my parents are, I decided to forgo both of their last names. Instead deciding to craft my own name based off my love for my new parents. Gone are the days of the weak and unfeeling Naruko, now I stand strong as Naruto Nishikawa.
"Summoning Jutsu"
I place my bit finger to the ground and summon forth my contracted toad.
"Hey there whiskers! What's up?"
I smile as Gamakichi appears, he and I had formed a contract early on, since I couldn't continuously summon a massive toad like his father; we signed a deal and would grow in strength together.
That was the idea, but sometimes I just liked to summon him for no reason.
"Hey Gama, just wondering if you've got any news from the Leaf" I say with a wave.
The toad thought for a moment before shaking his head.
"Sorry Whiskers, nothing but rumours and whispers. A couple of rouge ninja have been stirring up trouble around the other main villages though, nothing serious but the Kages are making sure they keep security up" explained Gamakichi.
I nod in understanding, I didn't really care for news outside of the mountain range but Ma and Pa had made me take an interest, since I would probably return one day.
"Thanks Gama, I'm going to go and get some larvae for dinner, you wanna join us?" I ask with a stretch.
"Not for me thanks, I gotta watch my figure!" laughed the toad.
"Please, you look the same as always!" I say with a laugh of my own.
Bidding farewell to my summon, I make my way back toward my house and leap in through my bedroom window. Jumping into shower, I quickly undress and let my hair out of their twin pig tails; I activate the seal and a powerful water jutsu erupts from the canvas, instantly cleaning me.
It had originally been my idea to store a standard water jutsu in a scroll and use it for cleaning, I had Jaime write up the seals for it and the rest is history.
I bring my hands together and summon two shadow clones, I have them both create a Rasengan each to dry my body. Once I'm dry from the wind based jutsu, I pull out my outfit and lay it on my bed. Looking at myself in the mirror I sigh at the size of my chest; it wasn't small by any means, but it wasn't as big as Jaime's.
Pulling my bra and underwear on, I hop into my standard orange and black jumpsuit that Jaime had bought for me. Before tying my leaf village forehead protector around me head, yet another gift from Jaime, apparently, it had been my Dad's.
Speaking of, I grab my pouch of special shuriken, each based around his Flying Thunder God technique; before finally pulling on a pair of black flats and tying my long, golden locks back into twin tails.
"Alright, let's go get some grub you know!" I say with a shout before leaping back out my window and dropping to the forest floor quickly.
Later that Day
"Wow! That smells great Ma!" I say with wide eyes.
"Well, you got me some fine grubs to work with so it's not all me" said Ma with a smile.
I can only drool as she sets the bugs, grubs and larvae out onto the table. I still remember the first time they made me a meal, I was so hungry I didn't even notice what I was eating, but five years of eating all manner of bugs built me up a large immunity.
We tuck into the food, silence descends on the room and I notice straight away that something is up with Ma and Pa. They weren't eating nearly as much as they normally did, in fact they had barely touched their second plates.
"Ma? Pa? What's up? You feeling alright?" I ask in confusion.
The two toads look at one another for a moment before nodding.
"Naruko-girl, Ma and I were talking with the Great Toad Sage and were wondering if you would like to return to the Hidden Leaf" said Pa honestly.
"Return to the Leaf? Why? You getting sick of me?" I say with a smile.
"Of course, not Naruko-girl, we simply want you to make friends with some of your own kind" said Ma softly.
"Fine…" I say with a shrug.
"Really? Just like that?" asked Pa in shock.
"Yeah, I've explored almost everything here, I was kinda getting bored. Besides, no one can hurt me now that I'm a sage" I say with a giggle.
Ma and Pa both smile and sigh in relief, they obviously assumed I would be hesitant to return.
"Very well Naruko-girl, we'll set out in two days, pack everything you need tonight" said Pa with another smile.
"Alright, now eat up, you were scaring me before" I say before topping up their plates with my grubs.
Two Days Later
"Bye Gama! I'll make sure to summon you!"
I yell out to my toad and wave goodbye.
"Bye Whiskers!"
"Ready Naruko-girl?" asks Pa.
I nod firmly and follow he and Ma through the water portal. I feel the world pull me into myself and brace for the solid impact at the end, I roll lightly and catch the two toads on my shoulders.
We set off at a brisk pace, jumping between trees on our way toward the leaf village. Ma and Pa simply doze lightly on my shoulders, comfortable there due to their years of meditation training. I speed up our journey by using the FTG technique and dash through the forest at an even higher speed.
I throw one final shuriken before Pa tells me to ease up, we arrive at the tree line, about twenty meters off from the main gate to the village. I sit down and enter sage mode, scanning the gate, I see a dozen guards positioned at the front of the village.
Technically I should be allowed to just waltz in with no repercussions, but I knew from Ma and Pa that I shouldn't go crazy around trained killers. I drop down form the tree and walk slowly toward the main gate.
"Halt! State your name and purpose"
A man with a cat mask appears right before we enter the gate.
"Naruko Nishikawa" I say clearly, "Returning home and meeting with the Hokage"
"Lord Fukasaku" says Pa clearly, "Meeting with the Hokage"
"Lady Shima" says Ma, "Meeting with the Hokage"
The man simply stares at us for a few seconds before nodding his head and vanishing.
"That was easy enough" said Ma with a small smile.
"Yes, very easy, stay on guard Naruko-girl" said Pa cautiously.
It was very early in the morning, so there weren't very many people around. Some shops owners setting up their stores were the only signs of inhabitancy. We made straight for the Hokage's main office and I was pleased to find that nothing had really changed in terms of the layout, a few new stores and homes but nothing too massive.
Two masked guard stand outside the door to the Hokage's office.
"Umm… hi there! I'm here to see the Hokage" I say nervously.
They both look at me before nodding sharply and pushing the doors open.
Ma and Pa both give me concerned looks but I enter with my head held high. I recall every corridor in the building, right down to the secret passage ways. I make my way toward the main office, sage mode keeps me informed of any possible threats.
I arrive at the door to the main office and knock lightly, I can sense the chakra of only one person within.
"Come in"
Upon hearing the invitation, I gently push the solid oak doors open and step into the Hokage's office. I see the third sitting in the traditional Hokage garb before me, he looks slightly older than last I saw him but that was about it.
"Naruko, it's good to see you again… you've grown so much" said Sarutobi softly, "Lord Fukasaku, Lady Shima, lovely to see you again"
"Lord Hokage, it's nice to see you're still holding your position" I say with a short bow.
This earns a chuckle from both him and my adoptive parents.
"Yes, well no one else seems to want this bloody job, so I'm stuck here for now" laughed Hiruzen.
"You're still the little whipper snapper I remember Hiruzen-boy" noted Pa humorously.
"Maybe, we humans aren't as resilient as you toads" sighed the third.
We all share a chuckle before his eyes go dead serious.
"Naruko, I'm very disappointed in your for leaving the village. I assume Jaime has filled you in on the details of your existence" said Hiruzen.
I simply nod.
"Hiruzen-boy, don't blame Naruko-girl for her leaving, she was in a bad place…"
However, I cut off Ma before she can finish.
"You're right, I shouldn't have left without a word or even a note… but I made the decision and have become all that much stronger for it" I say with a firm nod.
Hiruzen, Ma and Pa look at me with wide eyes.
"I see, you've become far stronger than any of our current ninja your age" stated the third with an impressed nod.
Hearing that bought up a sense of pride, to hear that I had surpassed my fellow class mates and become stronger was awesome.
"Even Sasuke?" I ask in surprise.
I didn't like the douche bag, but I couldn't deny that he was damn strong. Especially with his Sharingan bloodline and natural affinity for complex jutsu; I figured that he had gained even greater strength since my absence; I really hoped he had since I was itching to test myself against him.
Hiruzen seemed disturbed by my comment and didn't say anything.
"Probably, considering the son of a bitch left the leaf village and joined Orochimaru"
I turn to toward the new voice and my eyes widen in surprise.
"Pervy Sage!" I exclaim in surprise.
I leap at my snow haired tutor and embrace her tightly. It had been just a few months since I had last seen the lecherous sage but it felt like forever. She had been a massive part of my training in Mount Myoboku and was the only reason why I could pull of the Rasengan so easily.
"Hey there little sage, how's it?" asked Jaime with a wide smile, hugging me back just as tight.
"Good… wait, what did you just say? Sasuke left?" I ask in confusion.
"Indeed. About three years ago, his brother, Itachi Uchiha came searching for the nine-tails, Sasuke tried to fight him and was terribly beaten. He left in search of power from Orochimaru, one of the three legendary Sanin and Jaime's former teammate; we sent a squad after him but all but one of them were killed in action" explain Hiruzen.
I swallowed nervously, this was serious.
"Fortunately, Orochimaru attempted an attack on our village a few months before hand and was critically injured by myself and lord third. He had no choice but to transfer himself into a new body and thus is unable to use Sasuke's body" explained Jamie.
"Wait, you said that Sasuke's brother was after the nine-tails… you mean the one inside of me?" I ask suddenly.
"Yes… it would seem as though a group of rouge ninja called the Akatsuki are working toward the assembly of all nine of the tailed beasts for still unknown reasons" said Hiruzen sternly.
I felt a flicker of pain race through my heart, the nine-tails was trying to use my emotion to gain a margin of control over me. I quickly quelled that and took a deep breath, controlling my feelings for my fellow Jinchuuriki's.
"Well, we've got to help them you know" I say urgently.
"Indeed, we believe that they are going to target the one tailed beast, sealed within the current Kazekage" said Jaime.
"Well then we need to go and protect him, take him to Mount Myoboku or something"
"Calm down Naruko-girl, we can't just walk into the hidden sand and ask to take their leader" said Pa gently.
"Sorry Pa, but we can't just stand back and wait for him to be taken" I say once again.
"That is why we are sending Jaime to convene with the Kazekage and explain the situation" said Hiruzen.
I sighed in relief, Jaime was a pervert of immense nature, but I couldn't deny that she was far stronger than she let on. Strong enough to train the forth Hokage and be feared as the number one spymaster across the globe.
"If it's not too much trouble, may I join Pervy-sage on her journey?" I ask bluntly.
Lord third seems to be lost in thought, his age clearly showing throwing the various wrinkles and lines in his face.
"Very well, but I require at least two others join you on your mission. I'll let Jaime decide that, I assume you will be joining them" said Hiruzen, gesturing to Ma and Pa.
"Of course, we simply must report to the Great Toad Sage" said Pa with a nod.
"Very well, I'll have you set off in two days from the main gates" said Hiruzen clearly.
"Yes sir" said Jaime and I together.
Dismissing us with a wave of his hand, we left the Hokage office and made toward the exit.
"I'm going to scout some possible team members, you can head to this address and stay there until we leave" said Jaime, handing me a piece of parchment with her address written on it.
"Alright then, see you later Pervy-sage!" I say with a laugh before our paths branched.
Making our way through the village, I was pleased to find that no one noticed who I was. Especially given the amount of attention I was receiving for not only my looks, which I couldn't deny weren't too shabby, but the two toads adorning my shoulders.
"Makes you wonder if they've ever seen a real sage before" noted Pa with a scoff.
I eventually arrived at the address given to me by Jamie and had to say it was very fancy. Although I really should have expected it, considering her reputation and current line of work, she probably could buy three of these homes and still have some left over.
"Wow, Pervy-sage is loaded" I say in wonder as we enter the house.
"Pfft… I doubt it, Jaime-girl spends all her money on alcohol and women. It was only after a right kick in the pants that she finally saved up enough for a place of her own" explained Ma crossly.
I couldn't help but laugh. Jamie was well known for her perverted nature, despite her being the very being she targeted. Her reasoning was that all female bodies should be admired to their fullest extent, hence why she was banned from many hot springs in the Hidden Leaf.
I set myself up in an empty room, what little I had. A large summoning scroll, a host of ninja tools and my clothing scrolls were all I really had to my name.
"Well Naruko-girl, we're going to head back to the mountain, think you could give us a lift?" asks Ma.
I simply nod and toss a shuriken onto the bed; Ma and Pa grab tightly onto my shoulders and I focus on the shuriken in my room back at Mount Myoboku. I close my eyes and feel myself slip for less than a fraction of a second.
"Thank you Naruko-girl, we'll make our own way back" said Pa with a smile as they hoped off my shoulders.
I wave them goodbye before relocating myself back to the shuriken atop my bed. I land lightly upon the soft mattress and moan in delight at the feeling of a real bed. Plant and flax were heavenly after a gruelling training session back at the mount but real bedding was almost too much for my body to bear.
I would have been happy to just lay there for two days but reality called and I slowly sat back up again.
"So, you're going to rescue my brother and sisters?"
I just ignored the voice.
"I do like it when you don't talk back, it means I'm annoying you"
"I told you to never talk to me fox" I say with a sigh, casually tossing a shuriken into the air and catching it again.
"You should know that that was never going to happen. You're amusing kid" said the nine-tails within my mind.
Sighing, I sit up straight and close my eyes. I pull of a series of hand seals before entering my own mind to talk properly with the demon fox.
"Why can't you just be happy that I haven't chained you to a rock?" I ask whilst sitting.
The fox simply glares at me through the bars of his cage, unable to do anything save for communicate. I had cut off every flow of chakra from him to me early on, I wouldn't let him tempt my mind or prey of any of my negative emotions.
"I am far happier being bound to you instead of your mother, however, I simply wish to know why you want to help the other tailed beasts" said the fox curiously.
I didn't answer for a while.
"I don't really care about the beasts, sure they don't deserve to be used for evil but it's the hosts… my fellow Jinchuuriki's that I really care about. I don't want them to die just because they were given something beyond their control" I say honestly.
It was true, I knew now that the reason I was treated worse than dirt was because of the fox and what he did to the village; but the thought of a whole other eight people being hunted and killed for their beasts was just too much.
"I see; you're a strange one Naruko. Far kinder than my past Jinchuuriki's…" said the fox with a nod.
"Well that's nice to hear I suppose" I said with a shrug.
"No, it's more than that. Do you see the beasts as mindless creatures that you want to destroy?" asked the fox bluntly.
"No… not really, I mean; I know you did things in the past that hurt a lot of people; but you did that because humans tried to abuse your power for their own gain. You had every right to be mad at them" I said with a nod.
"Hmm… my name is Kurama" said the fox casually.
It took my mind a moment to comprehend what he had just said; I had read that a beast bonds with its host by revealing more about its true self. By giving me its name, I had built a deeper bond and could, theoretically, use the nine-tails chakra without it consuming my mind.
"What is this? Another game?" I ask suspiciously.
The fox, apparently called Kurama, shakes his head softly.
"I know you have no reason to trust me, and I won't try and convince you otherwise. Just let it be known that if you ever need my assistance, simply call for me and I'll lend you strength" he said simply.
"Well I appreciate the offer" I said with an honest nod before holding out my hand in a fist.
"What's this?" asks Kurama with a titled head.
"A fist bump, to signify friendship" I say with a nod.
Kurama simply laughs and puts one of his massive fists through the bars of his gate and bumps his enormous fist into mine.
I snap back to reality and smile to myself, staring at the mirror across my room, I notice that my whiskers have become darker and more prominent.
Two Days Later
"Morning Pervy-sage!" I say with a wave.
"Moring little-sage, you ready?" she asks with a smile.
I tap my scroll attached to the back of my waist and she taps her. Ma and Pa are both seated on my shoulders and I'm garbed in my sage outfit made for me by Ma. I'm fully stocked up with all my various ninja tools and full to the brim with sage chakra, having meditated heavily the night before.
"Who are the lucky ducks who get to join us?" I ask with a hint of excitement.
Two figures appear next to Jaime and bow to myself, Ma and Pa.
"Good day Naruko, Lady and Lord. I am Tenten and will be accompanying you on this mission" said a short, brown haired woman with twin buns.
From what I could remember, Tenten was skilled in the use of weapons and sealing jutsu. Judging from the amount of scrolls she had strapped to her body, she stored all her weapons via Fuinjutsu and controlled them via the chakra wires looped around her fingerless gloves.
"Hello Naruko, it's good to see you again. Hello my lord and lady. I am Hinata Hyuga, I will be joining you on your mission" said the other companion.
I was stunned to see that the small, shy, diminutive little girl I remembered, had grown into a beautiful, raven haired woman. I groaned at how big her breasts had become but didn't give it much thought. From what I knew about the Hyuga clan, they were incredibly powerful due to their Byakugan blood line, equal, if not more powerful, than the Sharingan blood line.
"It's good to see you to Hinata, how's Neji?" I ask with a smile, recalling her cousins name.
"Oh right… you don't know" said Hinata sadly.
"Know what?" I ask in confusion.
I see Jaime frown to herself whilst Hinata sheds a tear.
"The team sent after Sasuke was comprised of recently graduated ninja, led by Shikamaru. However, the ones accompanying Sasuke were highly skilled and killed those sent after them. Choji, Lee, Neji and Kiba all died in combat. Shikamaru only survived through the arrival of Kakashi" explained Tenten softly.
I was very taken back by this current revelation, I hadn't known any of them very well but I didn't wish any of them harm or death. It was unnerving to say the least.
"I'm… very sorry for your loss" I say with a hung head.
"Don't be, we've accepted the reality of the situation and moved on. It hurts that they're gone but we've learnt to live with the pain" sighed Tenten, slightly adjusting her forehead protector.
"You're very wise Tenten-girl" noted Pa with nod.
"Well then, enough sad talk! Let's get on the road!" exclaimed Jaime.
"Right! Let's go meet the Kazekage you know!"
A/N: Frankly I love the toads, they're just so awesome!
Updates for this will be incredibly slow, just saying.
Yes, with the absence of Naruko from the main story, a few minor changes occurred to the villagers.
Gotta keep up with the manga in order to keep events semi-canonical (doubtful though)
Read, fav, follow and review!
My name is Parradox and thanks so much for reading.
Bye!
