For a fellow Shinobi
Ok, old story of mine I've been playing with, had 'something' planned for the gender swap but for the life of me I honestly don't remember and doesn't really affect the story. Other then that hope you like. Sorry about the inconsistent or wrong suffix's but I'm probably just going to abandon them entirely in later chapters.
I do not own naruto
Pain, that was the girl's world right now. It was all she knew in a world of darkness other than the faint sent of grass of all things. That was until a light formed in front of her. It was bright enough that it also hurt and warm enough to be uncomfortable.
It began to fade and it scared Naruto that it would leave. Painful or not it was at least something different. It only faded to a dark orange, revealing a massive creature of the same color, nine slowly moving tails behind it.
"They did a number on you this time kit." The creature stated dryly.
"What?" The girl asked, confused and simply wanting to sleep. Without the creature going of course. Being alone seemed even worse than being in pain.
"You don't remember?" The creature seemed almost as confused as she was before its eyes closed for a moment. "Awe," it said, as it opened its eyes again. "That crack to your skull did more damage than I expected, though a blessing shouldn't be given a cross eyed look and after what happened, not remembering will certainly be just that."
The girl didn't understand what the creature was talking about but it at least distracted her from the pain so it didn't really matter. Anything was welcome at this point. "Can you make the pain stop?"
The creature nodded. "I've already started but it could be awhile, fare warning though, I'm the reason this happened to you if indirectly."
"Why, what did I do to you?" The girl asked pitifully.
"I did say indirectly didn't I? The people who did this to you thought they could hurt me through it. Fools wisdom has its gems but that one was certainly not listed among them."
"Why do they want to hurt you?"
"Revenge, I'll give you an in depth lesson in just how much good that is later. For now I simply wished to offer you a choice."
"What is it?"
"Right now your body is in a hospital healing rapidly but there is only so much I can do." One of its massive tails came about and brushed against the girl's face. "Your eyes were sliced out with broken glass. I can't regenerate such complicated organs accurately but I can offer a compromise."
While the girl didn't quite understand everything the creature said she got the gist of it. "What do I have to do?"
A massive gate appeared in front of the creature. Multiple different seals covered it. "Remove the ones I tell you to. It will allow me to work the changes I need to your body." The girl didn't hesitate to obey. A rush of uncomfortably warm wind followed by the pain increasing tenfold, making the girl scream.
The creature diminished in size, turning in to a tall man with large fox ears and swirling tails still present. He pulled the girl against his chest. "I'm sorry, but rewriting some ones DNA is never easy. Bear with it and it will all be over soon. Be happy the worst was already taken care of by him."
The Hokage
The journey through the hospital was never an easy one for Hiruzen. Decades of practice meant little where this was concerned and this time was especially bad though. Not only had Minato's child been injured critically, blinded and something even more disturbing had been discovered. Naruto, who the Hokage clearly remembered as a boy when he had discovered him, was a girl.
Hiruzen had ordered his most trusted anbu level medics to take over caring for the blond including their leader, Mitarashi Anko who had expressed that other than the girl's traumatic injuries she was a completely healthy six year old girl with massive amounts of chakra.
Whatever had changed the boy had been efficient and left no sign of the change or original gender behind. It was as if it had always been so.
Hiruzen stepped into the room to find something he didn't expect. Naruto was sitting up gazing towards the window. Her once glorious sun colored hair had darkened and looked more like the sky on a rare sunset then the sun now. Every scar was gone. Every scar but the ones where her eyes had been.
It wasn't until Naruto looked toward him thought that the Hokage's breath caught. Milky white eyes stared blankly at the wall not blinking even in the slightest. No trace of Minato's innocent blue eyes remained. Hiruzen's fists clinched in anger at the sight.
"Hey Jiji," Those two words did more for the old man's hear than seeing the girl's father assume his mantel.
"Naruto, how did you know I was here?"
The girl shrugged. "Kurama showed me you were here, plus I could smell you coming down the hall."
"Kurama?"
Naruto scratched the back of her head with an innocent smile. "The kyuubi, he's pretty much spilled the beans about just about everything you've been hiding Jiji. Must not be easy keeping secrets like that."
Sarutobi could not have been more shocked if Naruto's head had decided to walk off her shoulders for a trip to ichirakus on its own. Gravely, he sat down beside Naruto's bed. "I'm sorry I hid it from you, but I couldn't risk losing you as well, not after everything else that happened."
Naruto nodded. "I understand jiji and I'm not going to go yelling it on the roofs." Her smile darkened. "I am going to track down who did this to me though."
"How?"
"Kurama remembers who they are. He'll lead me to them."
"Naruto he can't be-"
"Yes he can Jiji, he already chose to be put back in the seal once, now he's given me a new chance at life."
The hokage could barely keep himself from gaping at the girl. "Chose to."
The girl shook her head. "Sorry Jiji but he's asked me not talk about it yet." The girl didn't need eyes to convey the fact that Hiruzen wasn't getting the answer's from her any time soon.
"I'll let it slide for now Naruto but eventually I will need the truth eventually." He looked towards the door and watched as a purple haired young woman stepped into the room. "This is Uzuki Yugao. You'll be staying with her from now on."
Naruto nodded his head directly to the woman. "Nice to meet you Uzuki San."
"Call me Yugao Naruto, formality will just get in the way of our friendship." Yugao said gently as she took the seat on the far side of the bed. According to the doctors your healthy enough to leave at any time."
The girl snorted darkly. "As if they actually care about my health," She tossed aside the covers and stood easily. "But their right and I can't stand the scent of this place with my eyes. Without them it's a thousand times worse."
She ripped the gown off without a care and quickly changed into the simple sweats and shirt provided for her. Both the Hokage and Yugao were given a fine demonstration just what they had done to the girl. Such actions belonged to a war hardened veteran concerned only for the next battle. Not a seven-year-old child.
"When can I start learning to be a ninja Jiji, my chakra is apparently already mid jonin level according to Kurama."
"Are you certain you want to spend the last of your childhood training Naruto?" Yugao asked gently. Hiruzen already knew better.
"The last of my childhood ended when I lost my eyes Yugao."
"What do you want the power for Naruto?" Hiruzen asked firmly, his decision completely hinging on the girl's answer.
She faced him a glare on her face despite not having eyes. "What other path do I have jiji?" The girl was right. No civilian would give her the time of day much less a job and even the most peaceful ones under his command still required she be a ninja.
Hiruzen sighed and nodded. "Very well, we'll discuss your inheritance soon, though I would prefer to keep the truth from the public until you're at least chunnin rank."
Naruto nodded. "That can remain hidden until I'm Jonnin or kage level as far as I'm concerned. It will make getting out from under their shadow so much easier."
Hokage laughed gently. "That is true, that is true." He glanced at Yugao who was completely confused by the conversation. "You have your orders Yugao san, it is Naruto's choice whether she informs you of her heritage. Until then, in your off hours you will instruct her in basic tiajutsu and chakra control and any other form of training you deem her suitable for provide you run it by me first."
She bowed politely. "Of course Hokage sama."
Hiruzen left the room wondering just how far Naruto would go with her efforts. The daughter of the yellow flash and mistress of the scarlet chains would certainly give the world something to think about in the coming years. Of that he was certain.
Yugao
Yugao watched as Naruto staggered into her house. It was fairly small, only really big enough for two people, maybe three, but it was more than enough for the woman and her student. The girl had done nothing but study hand seals and proper tiajutsu stances all day.
Now she staggered over to the couch where Yugao was busy reading and sat down. If not for the lifeless milk colored eyes staring out at the world, Yugao would have found her unbelievable cute as she simply sat there in a daze.
Without warning the seven year old blond collapsed, her head falling in Yugao's lap, already asleep. Yogao simply stared at her for a moment before a deep chuckling pulled her attention to the door to the back yard.
A pair of scarlet and black eyes framed in ebony hair met hers as Uchiha Itachi stared at her with a smirk on his face any devil would envy as his bloodline imprinted the memory permanently with in his mind. "I don't believe I've ever seen my little demoness look so adorable." He said with the same smugness that had always made her want to slap him and kiss him at the same time ever since she had met him.
She glared at him darkly but he only chuckled again clearly knowing she wouldn't disturb the sleeping girl. He knew he'd pay for the transgression later but at the moment he was safe. "With how adorable you look now, it makes me wonder what I'll think of you when I see you with our first child."
Yugao's breath hitched at the thought as her gaze snapped back to Itachi who had managed to get beside her with that freakish inhuman stealth of his. "You won't be able to assume your position of clan head if you marry me Itachi," she stated softly trying to put yet another barrier between them as she looked down at Naruto.
Itachi snorted softly as he hooked her chin and pulled her head back to meet his gaze. "Why would I ever abandon my beautiful demoness for something as stupid as that? Besides, I'll be making some serious changes to my clan with in the coming years anyway including to the members of the clan council."
Yugao smirked at Itachi's usual concept of family politics. "Am I worth the hatred of your clan? Your family?"
Itatchi had her gaze in his in the next instant, this time his finger was on her lips. "Ask me that when I'm actually paying a price." He replaced his finger with his lips. Yugao could barely suppress a moan out of concern for waking the child in her lap.
A sudden violent pulse of chakra and Itachi broke away from her and quickly looked away. She reached out her hand and touched her shoulder gently. "It happened again didn't it?"
He nodded. "My eyes are becoming increasingly erratic."
Yogau looked down at Naruto, tears not quite forming but close. "How dangerous do you think it is?"
Itachi sighed. "I don't know."
"Will it harm you?"
"My instincts tell me it's trying to."
A tear finally formed in the corner of Yugao's eye. She could hardly ask Itachi to stay with her if it meant his eyes and his career as a ninja. Her will vanished as his callused hand brushed against her cheek as he crouched in front of her this time. "If I give up my eyes what are you willing to give up?" He asked simply.
Yugao couldn't breathe under the weight of his midnight gaze. She hated the fact that he could use such sappy lines she normally hated and still turn her brain to mush. She simply kissed him in self defense. When they separated, this time slowly, she whispered her answer. "Everything."
He smiled and kissed her brow before picking up the exhausted girl and carried her to the room he'd helped make ready for her when the hokage had given Yugao notice she would be looking out for the blond.
As he lay her on the bed his brow furrowed and leaned in and sniffed before looking back at her. "She tore her hymen."
Yugao blinked in surprise. While it was nearly unheard of for a dedicated Kunoichi not to tear it during training eventually, she had never heard of one doing so at such a young age. "I'll get a rag and water."
An hour later had the girl clean and dressed in fresh clothes. Yugao pulled Itachi to her room where the two of them simply held each other at the pain of their final discovery.
Even in her sleep, Naruto had squeezed her thighs together in an attempt to keep Yugao from touching her. Whether she remembered or not, her body clearly held internal scars of rape. The fact that she even had a hymen at all only proved the ignorance of whoever had done it. Or that the change had occurred after the attack.
Itachi
Dark eyes watched as Naruto leaned against a tree as she gasped for breath from exertion. She'd been trying to master tree walking for the last two hours and was exhausted. He was impressed with her determination to learn such a basic skill though as fundamental to being a ninja as breathing was to humans.
"You're a determined one, I'll give you that." He spoke in a monotone voice. The girl jerked up and jumped away from as she pulled out the kunai she'd begged Yugao to give her earlier that morning. He arched an eyebrow at her impressive speed. "Quick to," he stated in the same monotone.
"You need something Uchiha san?" She asked clearly not pleased by his presence.
Itachi nodded. "You can put your training aside for several minutes and eat this with me." He held out a pair of bento boxes.
He got the impression she was looking for possible escape routes though she remained still. "Why would you do something like that for me?"
"Yugao asked me to and I'm curious about my girlfriend's new roommate." He stated simply.
Naruto snorted. "Yugao never told me anything about you."
Itachi shrugged. "No since our relationship is a secret due to my clan pointless restrictions. I trust you won't tell anyone about it without my or Yugau's consent ok."
"Then why tell me about it at all. Not the best way to keep a secret after all."
"True, but the best way to get someone to trust you." Itachi countered.
Something shifted within the girl and she slowly put away the kunai. "Very well but only because Kurama said so."
This caught Itachi by surprise as he easily attached the name to the only being it could belong to. "You admit to speaking with the Kitsune rather freely girl, that could land you in some serious trouble if you aren't careful."
"Trouble finds me on a regular basis, might as well give it an invitation if it's going to come knocking on my door any way." Naruto remarked snidely.
Itachi was silent before he chuckled. "An interesting philosophy, if not wise." Both of them sat and dug into the food in silence. Something that Itachi was especially happy for. Talking was not something he enjoyed even if the company was interesting.
When the food was done she stood and bowed her head lightly to him. "Thank you Uchiha san."
He nodded in return as he stood. "Of course Uzumaki san," He turned to leave but looked. "Oh, when trying to do tree walking it helps to mentally picture your chakra connecting yourself to the surface as well as supporting yourself at the same time. Why don't you try that?"
She considered it for a moment before nodding her head. "Thank you Uchiha san."
"Anything for a fellow shinobi." Was all Itachi said as he walked away.
Hiruzen
Hiruzen signed off on Danzo's idea to start giving orphans the chance to learn ninja skills at the age of six. Brutal yes but Konoha was still feeling the wounds from the Kyuubi and while it was an extreme act it would still be their choice.
He looked up at the man who had been saving the village from the shadows for decades. "So tell me, just how old does this make you feel."
Danzo snorted and lifted the glass of saki he'd been sipping in a mock toast. "I won't say but I sure as hell look good for my age."
Hiruzen laughed at and raised his own glass. "Here's to that." His office doors opened as they both down their cups, admitting his former teammates.
"Every time their within ten feet of me I feel like putting out rat traps." Danzo muttered not caring that the two would undoubtedly hear.
Hiruzen managed to keep a smile off his face. Danzo's inability to keep his vicious tongue still at times had been what had kept him in the shadows. A fact he had very much preferred. Talented or not, the man had no taste for politics and considered the civilian side of the council a joke meant only to keep the Hokage's desk free of completely unnecessary paper work.
He looked towards his former teammates. "What can I do for you today?"
"We were wondering why we received reports that the De- it was spotted practicing tree running today? We thought we had discussed our concerns over its growth in such areas?"
Danzo, still facing Hiruzen mouthed the word 'it' with a roll of his eyes. Hiruzen more than a little testy about his former friends callus attitude to his all but formally adopted grandchild focused them with a look he'd only used on his most annoying enemies. "You can either use her name or you can start taking mission again seeing as how you won't be receiving the pay from your current position."
The two gaped at him giving Danzo enough time to fill both their cups again and salute the windbags before he downed the cup and spoke, cutting them off completely. "My reports state that after aye brief discussion with Itatchi, Naruto's attempts at tree walking progressed almost tenfold with her being able to even hold herself in place for almost a minute at the end."
Hiruzen raised an eyebrow at the knowledge and also spoke before his supposed advisors could speak. "That's fairly impressive. Not quite as soon as Itachi but without clan support and larger chakra reserves."
The game continued as Danzo spoke while Hiruzen filled their cups. "Not to mention the fact that that child was already causing trouble for the orphanage when she was three."
"You read the report about where she was last attacked."
"I did, I believe the estimated numbers were somewhere between fifteen to twenty, at least three of them shinobi of undetermined level."
"At least, and Kakashi swears that the chase was at least eight blocks long, half of which Naruto made while having a kunai lodged in her shoulder."
Danzo shook his head. "Truly a frightening ordeal for one so young, the fact that no one saw it even if it was in a less patrolled sector is really surprising. How many have you caught by the way, I've been so busy with Jiryia's reports that I haven't been able to keep tabs on the investigation."
"The civilians have all been caught but the ninja are still at large. They managed to hide their tracks rather well."
Danzo shook his head with a tired sigh and knocked back the last of his saki as he stood. "I feel like taking a walk. It's been a long time since I've breathed fresh air and I feel like it would do me some good."
Hiruzen glanced at the clock. "I believe I'll join you. Nothing much happens around here this time of day after all."
The two vanish from the room, ghosting around the too elders who simply stand their ground unable to do anything."
The two old warriors shared a laugh as they exit the building. Despite their mirth the seriousness of their conversation still weighs heavily on their shoulders. Hiruzen looked at Danzo. Your root will be a valuable asset in the future though it will be almost as difficult to find your replacement as mine will be."
Danzo waved his hand to brush aside the worry. "Itachi will be ready in the next five years, as for yours, well, unless you can get Tsunade's pretty ass back here your fucked."
The two of them shared a look over the comment before laughing and continuing their walk. It remained uninterrupted until a presence in one of the ally's drew their attention. "Itachi, you have something to tell us?" Hiruzen asked softly.
"Yes Hokagae sama. Whoever attacked Naruto was not responsible for her change." Was the whispered reply.
"How can you be sure?" Danzo hissed back.
"The first day she spent under Yugao's tutelage she tore her hymen during her training. Unaware of it she trained until she passed out and was unable to bathe properly so Yugao attended to the problem only to discover and instinctive muscle reaction to her hands presence."
Both Hiruzen's and Danzo's eyes narrowed at the information and the only possible connotation it could have. "None of the civilians had such memories according to T and I." Danzo hissed, having lied about his ignorance of the investigation. "It had to have been the ninja who did it after they left." Hiruzen felt a tear fall from his eye as he thanked Itachi for the information.
"Hokage sama, I would like permission to train her personally. I believe I could draw out her maximum potential."
Hiruzen nodded. "Granted."
"Thank you Hokage sama." The boy was gone in the same breath.
Sasuke
He watched as his brother pulled on his shoes. "I thought you were going to help me train to day?" He tried not to sound like he was whining and still convey his disappointment at not being able to be with his brother. Itachi looked back and gestured for him to get closer.
When he did, Itachi poked him in the forehead. "I've got a short mission this morning, I'll be back by the end of lunch. Meet me at training ground twelve around lunch time, I'm bringing a sparring partner for you."
Sasuke's eyes widened comically at the thought, a wide grin on his face before he ran off in excitement to tell their mother.
"Kaasan, Kaasan, Itachi's bringing someone for me to spar against when we train together later," He all but yelled.
Mikoto smiled happily at, though she wondered who her eldest could possibly be bringing to spar with his brother that he couldn't do a hundred times better. Itachi was a genius simply put, at whatever he put his mind to. "That's good, where are you meeting up."
Sasuke told her happily.
Yugao
She leapt across the roof tops, with a grin on her face as Naruto raced behind her. The girl was a firebrand of energy and being blind only made her more dangerous as far as Yugao was concerned.
Supposedly the fox in her gut could see everything just fine, at all angles, and simply passed the needed information to Naruto.
The two of them landed outside of training ground twelve ran inside instantly starting a game of ninja tag, in which Naruto would chase after Yugao while trying to hit her with kunai and shuriken. Early yes, but the girl healed so quickly they might as well capitalize on it.
They stopped when they realized they were no longer the only ones with in the training ground. Yugao drops to the ground in front of the dark haired woman and young boy. "Apologies Uchiha san, we expected this training ground to be clear."
The woman held up her hand to fend of the apology. "None needed shinobi san, my eldest promised to train his brother today and I had some free time so I chose to come along."
Yugao only needed a second glance at the boy to realize that he was without a doubt Itachi's little brother.
Her response was cut off when the debated person dropped from one of the many trees. "Awe good, everyone's here. Kaasan, this is Uzuki Yugao and her student Uzumaki Naruto. You two this is my mother Uchiha Mikoto and my brother Uchiha Sasuke.
The air was tense for about a minute before Mikoto started to laugh. "So this is the girl you've all but abandoned us for."
Yugao gaped at the woman while Sasuke looked confused. Naruto snickered and Itachi simply nodded while putting his arm around Yugao's waist. "Yes Kaasan, she is my girlfriend and I'm happy you approve."
"What's going on brother?" Sasuke asked in confusion. Naruto snickered again at the boy's ignorance. Yugao smiled at him while Itachi gestured for his brother to get closer. When he did Itachi poked his forehead again. "She's going to be you big sister someday, you'll figure out the rest on your own." Sasuke rubbed his head and pouted a little while he looked up at his brother.
Mikoto laughed again before composing herself. "You wanted these two to spar right; you certain that's a good idea, Sasuke has been training for over a year now." Naruto glared at her but Mikoto ignored her.
Itachi rubbed the girl's head and got slugged in the leg for it, only making him smile. "She's got better instincts and motivation."
"You're going to train us both brother." Sasuke's former pout wasn't completely gone, unhappy idea of sharing his brother with anyone.
Itachi nodded. "That's the idea." He looked down at Naruto. "Don't go overboard Naruto, my brother's never been in a real fight before."
That day, those present learned one very important fact about the villages blond pariah. Very few things were listed as overboard from her perspective.
Mikoto
Part of her was laughing as she treated the multiple scrapes her youngest had gotten from being thrown into a tree. The other part was trying not to cry for what the girl must have gone through if that was her taking it easy, and she had been. Mikoto's sharingan wasn't the most powerful in the clan but even freshly awakened one would have caught her hesitation.
The blond had spent five minutes trashing Sasuke and Itachi had let the blond. Even held Mikoto back saying that this would be an important lesson for Sasuke as well.
Sasuke had proven surprisingly accepting of his utter loss and remained remarkably stoic as she brushed the last of the bark and dirt from the small laceration on his cheek.
"What happened?" Her husband's deep voice made Sasuke jump but to Mikoto he had sounded like and donkey trudging down the hall.
"Sasuke had a very important lesson to day," She responded. "He learned the Kunoichi are exceptionally dangerous opponents."
"Hn." Was the reply. "Which one of the branch members was it?"
Mikoto looked back at her husband. "Why do you think it was a branch member?"
He shrugged. "Who else would it have been?" Mikoto was almost impressed that he hadn't said could with how the Uchiha pride was becoming more toxic by the day.
Before she could come up with some other kind of excuse though Sasuke answered innocently. "A blond girl with whisker marks named Naruto. Sasuke said he was going to teach both of us." Mikoto was incredibly proud that he didn't show and sign of anger at losing so badly no doubt thanks to Itachi's calm explanation to him how Naruto much stronger reason to win then pride.
Sasuke certainly looked up to his father but Itachi was the sun to him. Warm and kind no matter how distant or gone.
She did however whish either of them had remembered not to tell his father about her. Fubaku had always been a hardliner for the girl's death or brain washing under harsh training. The idea that his eldest would be giving his considerably valuable time to train her would go over only slightly better than the fact that Itachi would marry not only outside of the clan but to a shinobi of common undistinguished blood.
Predictably Fugaku unleashed a bit of killing intent at the news. "Those fools Hiruzen and Danzo are behind this." He growled. "That creature should have died years ago."
Mikoto looked at her husband. "Careful dear, such talk is border lining the thirds law." The unspoken threat that she would enact said law rested between them for a time before he stormed off. The shouting match would come later.
"What was that about Kaasan?" Sasuke asked in terrified confusion. Having never experienced true killing intent before it was understandable.
Mikoto hugged him tightly. "Your father simply isn't able to look underneath the underneath Sasuke. Something you will have to learn someday if you ever want to be as strong as you brother."
Sasuke nodded though he was clearly confused, the fact that he was only six meant he was allowed to be. "Ok Kaasan."
"Very good, now I need you to promise not to speak of Naruto or Yugao san to your father again ok. He won't approve of them."
"Why, Naruto's cool and Itachi really cares about Yugao." Sasuke's innocence was adorable to his mother. The fact that Naruto was the first person his age who didn't shy away from him clearly over shadowed the thrashing she'd given him and while he was still too young to understand he could read his brother's happiness better than probably anyone.
"Because your father won't approve and will fight with Itachi about it. He'll loose and that will make him even madder."
Sasuke grimaced at the idea of lying to his father but nodded. "Ok Kaasan but can I still train with Naruto?"
Mikoto smiled. "Even after the thrashing she gave you?"
Sasuke shrugged. "She's more interested in training than touching my hair like the other girls are." Mikoto struggled to keep from laughing at her son's reasoning. Only seven and he already had more than his share of fan girls.
Her only fear was that he would start to crush on the girl. Only a miracle would end that painlessly
Yugao
She watched as Naruto studied the picture of the human anatomy and the different joints. The text book was excellent but lacking her opinion. She would most likely have to study the real thing to get the proper experience in such a field as far as Yugao was concerned.
Naruto clearly agreed as she set it down and grabbed a spool of wire walked out of the house. Yugao followed knowing the girl would work herself to absolute exhaustion once again. This would be the most important lesson she would most likely ever teach the child.
Hours later saw her collapsed in the middle of a clearing drenched in sweat. She'd managed to get a grasp of each of the basics though which was already high genin level. It seemed almost a crime but didn't stop Yugao dropping into the bushes beneath her perch. The blond girl quickly tried to get to her feet. The sudden movement however only warranted a great deal of pain if the expression she made was anything to go off of.
Yugao stepped from the bushes. "Naruto if you want to train away from the house than make certain you have enough energy to get back after." Yugao stated firmly.
The girl nodded as she raised her arm with a painful wince. The abused muscles certainly didn't appreciate the effort obviously. Yugao pulled her up and waited for her to respond.
"Yes Yugao." Naruto replied meekly clearly understanding how foolish to exhaust herself when she knew she still had enemies with in the village. The mistake could have cost her dearly if she wasn't more careful.
Yugao sighed and ruffled her hair. "You've got a drive that many your age can't even comprehend. If you don't temper it with patience it will destroy you. More quickly than any hateful villager or shinobi." Naruto simply nodded. Yugao caught her chin and raised it up. "Eyes or not Naruto I still expect you to face the person who is teaching you."
"Why?"
Yugao smiled. "Because it shows that you are at least listening. Humans are uncertain creatures at the best of times and facing them is a way of showing that you are interested in what their saying, understand."
The girl nodded.
"You have plenty of time to learn. As for tomorrow you'll be taking the day off so we can get you some proper clothing. Something durable considering your favorite past time I think."
Naruto instantly started to protest. "Yugao you don't have to, I can purchase my own clothes just fine."
Before she could continue Yugao placed her hand over the orange haired girl's mouth and smiled. "I'm not buying a single thing. Itachi is planning to send the bill to his clan so there's no need to be shy."
Her hand dropped to reveal a grin baring the girl's multiple sets of fangs. "Tomorrow is going to be a lot of fun. Can I get more equipment to?"
Yugao pretended to think about if for a moment. "I do believe he suggested something about that as well."
The two girls left the training ground smiling widely. As they walked the streets back to their home every civilian gave them a wide birth, their survival instincts warning them though they weren't quite certain why.
Mikoto
She watched as Sasuke practiced his forms against the training post as she sipped a cup of tea. By now it was a well-known fact that he was not a second Itachi. Mikoto honestly wondered how anyone could have expected such an occurrence. Truly gifted individuals such as her eldest were nearly unheard of and fewer still recognized.
She was proud of him and pleased that despite his early acceptance into the ranks of Anbu he had maintained and even honed his rather unique sense of humor and had even found someone worth opening his heart to. She would however grill him for details on how she caught his attention before too long.
As for Sasuke, his growth while slower than Itachi's was still far above that of any other child with in the clan and most likely any other aside from maybe the Huyga boy Neji and Naruto of course though few of that age had experienced so much as that girl.
She was simply happy that her son would be the guiding hand to the girl's early progress. The girl's future was uncertain at best and calamity seemed to follow her as a hobby.
Her musings were interrupted when her eldest appeared via a shunsin next to his brother. Sasuke jumped back on instinct before running to hug him happily. "Your home early brother."
Itachi poked him in the forehead earning a pout which Mikoto was certain had been his goal. If Sasuke had one thing that Itachi didn't have it was an adorable pout. "I've been assigned to a long term mission with in the city so I'll be around more often. I've got some time to spare so I'd thought I'd show you the best equipment shop in the city."
Sasuke perked up at the thought. "Really?"
Itachi favored him with a rare smile. "Of course little brother, now I need to speak with Kaasan for a moment."
Sasuke nodded and ran off towards the main gate to wait for him. Mikoto favored her eldest with a sly look. "You're up to something Itachi and I certainly doubt you father would approve."
Itachi cocked his head to one side, his expression blank. To most this was a random act meant to drive them insane. Mikoto however translated it to, "Of course I am so why did you bother to say it out loud." Mikoto sighed knowing the jokes punch line would come out all too soon.
"Have him home before dark if you're planning on any training."
Itachi nodded and vanished.
Itachi
The Forge didn't look all that impressive, something Itachi was certain Sasuke was capitalizing on at the moment. After he pushed the doors open he was happy to see his brother's jaw drop. The shop took up nearly the entire bottom floor of the building and the rows of shelves were filled with everything from weapons to books.
Behind the desk a man was splayed across the counter amidst multiple sharp objects fast asleep and snoring loudly. Most of his features were obscured by his long unkept grey hair and all Itachi could gather was that his skin was almost as dark as Naruto. He was glad that the counter was wood instead of glass since the ratty purple robe didn't look like it was tied.
Sasuke hesitantly moved to wake him but Itachi caught his shoulder. He looked up and Itachi shook his head. "Karite isn't very good with wake-up calls, so it's usually just best to leave a note saying what you took." To add to his word, he pointed towards a sign.
Rule one, leave a list of what you take
Rule two, do not forget to leave a list of what you take
Rule three, do not try and come up with excuses about forgetting to leave said list
I will collect payment at 'my' earliest convenience, yours is hardly required.
Don't like the rules don't shop here
Sasuke nodded slowly clearly not understanding how anyone could manage a business in such a fashion when their number one clientele were renowned thieves as well as killers.
Itachi smiled at him. "People have learned very quickly not to try anything funny with Karite after he turned up. Something about voices and eyes."
Sasuke seemed to decide he didn't need any more information. A movement behind Itachi distracted him. Itachi looked to see Naruto smiling at his brother. "Hey punching bag, ready for a rematch?"
Sasuke nodded eagerly. "Any time crazy."
Itachi couldn't help but wonder at their rather quick if bizarre comradery. "Let's get you two equipped first then we'll find a training ground." Itachi stated firmly. Both children looked at him eagerly.
Twenty minutes later saw them armed training sets of both kunai, shuriken, and wire. Naruto got a book on sealing basics while Sasuke got one on chakra control. When they reached the armor and clothes section the two children were all but drooling at the possible prospects. Naruto quickly looked through the available mesh but none were small enough.
"Karite doesn't bother making anything that small considering the low market and how quickly you'll outgrow it." Itachi explained. Naruto slouched a bit and Itachi figured this was probable the closest she would ever come to pouting. He ruffled her hair and went to see what Sasuke had discovered.
He vaguely watched as Naruto instantly started going through the shelves. He was pleased by the fact that she remembered she would indeed be growing out of everything almost as quickly as she could most likely destroy it so she picked out multiple pairs of loose shinobi pants and skin tight long sleeve shirts of varying earth tones, greys, and blacks.
He approved only to frown. Determination or not, the girl was all but ignoring the fact she was a girl outside of choosing to let her hair grow out. The spiking mess it had been was starting to droop but even with his girlfriend's constant combing it seemed determined to have its own form of chaos. He'd bring it up with Yugao. She'd have a much better perspective the he ever would genius or not.
After a quick stop in the shoe section and three pair of basic shinobi sandals later he noticed she'd started to browse the more select items held with a long glass case. Everything here could only be described as expert if not master craftsmanship. Nothing about any of them were all that flashy. In fact most were rather sedate but Itachi had more than enough experience to tell high quality work when he saw it and could only assume the fox did as well.
He was certain as he came up behind the girl who was gazing far to attentively at six vaguely oversized black senbon. "You like or is it the kitsune that has your looking at six of the most desired weapons in the elemental nations."
The blond didn't jump like most people he came up behind did. Unfair advantage or not he respected that. "He says that they're only a step beneath soul imbued weapons."
Itachi could only assume the beast was referring to weapons such as the second Hokage's lightning blades or the seven swords of mist and couldn't help but agree. The matte black needles all but begged to draw blood. "Oh yes, I watched Karite put one of those through an inch of steel with only a touch of regular chakra, what they could do with an element attached is a complete mystery."
Naruto looked at him before sprinting towards the front. Curious, Itachi followed. He was only vaguely surprised when the girl jumped on counter and kicked the man sleeping there. The man snarled and launched himself over the counter in a manner more befitting an animal then human, before. Despite his sharp movements, his shaggy hair never moved enough to reveal his eyes. His open robe however did reveal the faded pink boxers with white bunnies underneath and beat to shit faded grey slippers, a pair of fake eyes crudely glued on both of them. Itachi couldn't help but notice they were colored like a sharingan.
His growling stopped and he glared at the blond girl staring at him blankly. "You need something brat?" He asked sternly.
Naruto crossed her arms. "What do I have to do for you to give me those black senbon?"
Itachi figured if he could see the man's eyes he would have seen him blink several times before a wide smirk grew across his unshaven face. "Prove you know what to do with them."
Naruto seemed to think about it for a moment. "You have any practice ones?"
Karite scratched his cheek as he thought absently. "Nope but I'll make you a set, I'll even throw in a discount for have the balls to kick me awake."
"I'll have to talk to jiji about my inheritance but I'll definitely get them." Naruto stated firmly.
This time what the man scratched was lower and one of the few things covered by clothing while smiling widely. "Ok brat deal but no promises, a lot of people are after them and I'm not one to pass up on the right deal."
Naruto glared at him but jumped off the counter and went back towards the clothes section. Karite favored Itachi's with a grin. "Quite the firebrand that one."
Itachi nodded in agreement. "She's going to have this city jumping through hoops begging for her forgiveness soon enough and I'm going to enjoy watching every minute of it.
Yugao found that taking care of Naruto was more akin to tending to a volcano with legs. She did what she wanted when she wanted including stealth training involving dodging anbu patrols. Good training but anbu had enough problems already.
Adding the village's apparent genius pariah to them was just asking too much. The fact that the girl 'was' trying to avoid attention made thing unusually complicated.
Sounds of a fight reached her ears. Leaping across the roof tops she stopped to the sight of Naruto dodging around a kumo nin who was trying his hardest to put her down. Naruto certainly wasn't having an easy time of it but the girl could dodge Itachi already, something the Kumo nin certainly didn't appreciate.
The large bag strapped to his back was certainly hampering his movements and certainly didn't give his presence within the city any points.
"Mind telling my why you have a little girl in that bag." Naruto asked as she twisted around one of the man's knife strikes. The fact that she spoke at all told Yugao Naruto knew she was here and was passing information to her, not trying to get the man to divulge anything to her.
"None of your business brat, now die already."
Yugao saw red. Naruto was a pain in the ass on a good day but she was never boring and Itachi liked and respected the girl which raised the percentage of people on the list by double digits. Bastard was going to pay for that.
Drawing her sword she leapt down and sliced the man's leg deeply. Naruto was more than pleased to shove her kunai through the man's shoulder while planting her knee into his stomach in the moment he was distracted. Ruthless of her, Itachi would approve. She probably would have gone for the groin if their height wasn't so different.
Naruto didn't bother talking to the man as she cut the bag open carefully revealing the young girl she'd spoken of. Yugao instantly understood everything when she realized that the girl was a Hyuga and more importantly Hyuga Hinata.
The man started to move. Before Yugao could do anything Naruto's kunai was opening his throat.
"Damnit Naruto, we needed him alive."
Naruto kicked the man's hand of his uninjured arm revealing his own kunai he'd slipped into it without her realizing it. "I couldn't risk it, the girl and I were to close, any hesitation would have left us open to being used as a hostage."
Yugao sighed, the girl wasn't wrong if a little hasty. "Very well, we'll discuss capture techniques tomorrow though."
Naruto's grin looked out of place on someone who had just killed for the first time. "Cool, so what do we do with the girl?" The blond asked as she untied the gag around the girl's throat and slit the bindings on her wrists.
"You do realize you're the same age don't you?"
"Detail, I'm not the one shoved in a sack."
The girl clearly looked unhappy, "I-I'm s-s-sorry." She said as she looked at her hands. "He a-attacked m-me w-when I-I was a-asleep."
Naruto ruffled the girl's hair. "I'm not judging, he was at least a jonin so it's not surprising he caught you so easily. Don't beat yourself up over it."
"Y-you managed t-to s-stop him t-though."
Naruto shook her head. "I managed to delay him, Yugao gave me the opening I needed."
Yugao put her hand on the girl's shoulder. "You should listen to her child, it's rare for most chunin to have the same instincts Naruto does and having you on his back hampered his movements a great deal."
The rest of the night was spent juggling the Hyuga's now tattered egos and Naruto acidic mouth which Yugao would have found immensely entertaining if she wasn't so exhausted. Needless to say she was happy when the Hokage and Danzo showed up simply ordered everyone to go to bed after the body was cleaned up.
Everything else could be sorted in the morning when what passed for sanity in a ninja village had returned.
Sasuke
Trees were not comfortable. They were rough with multiple blunt protrusions. Sasuke had more than enough experience slamming into them to have cataloged at least a dozen different trees in his favorite training ground and which of them he most preferred to be slammed against and at what angle. Sparring with Naruto for three years was a very good way to learn such information.
At the moment Sasuke was not in their usual training ground but a completely different one. The trees were not even remotely softer here and at the moment he was on his back groaning as Naruto pocked him with a stick sadistically.
"Owned that pretty ass of yours again little brother, you'd better get faster if you ever want to be able to protect me." She taunted mildly. Sasuke simply favored her with a withering look. She gave him a sunny grin in return.
Years of sparing together had increased both their abilities to a degree both could easily join the ranks of genin as they were and surpass most of them without a problem. Itachi however had been firm when he said that both would go through all four years at the academy before they took the examine.
While they had both pouted about it they had conceded that Itachi had no small amount of regret not doing the same when he still had the opportunity. Swayed by the argument neither had said anything more about it.
Grabbing the hand she offered, Sasuke allowed her to pull him to his feet. "No you didn't bitch and stop calling me brother, its creepy."
Naruto favored him with a look a cocked head, a look she'd shamelessly stolen from his brother. A feminine laugh filled the clearly. They both looked at the purple haired woman looking at them. "To bad pretty boy, but she certainly owned that ass of yours."
Sasuke glared at her. "Shut up Anko sensei, no one asked you."
He easily dodged the kunai on reflex, but found his next dodge hindered by Naruto stepping on his foot giving the special jonin all the time in the world to get him in a head lock. She gave Naruto a high five before digging her knuckles into his head viciously. "You say something brat."
"Knock it off, crazy bitch," Sasuke yelled as he struggled to get out of her grasp. He glared at Naruto who was smiling widely. The smile vanished as she sank deeply into the earth leaving only her head exposed.
An all familiar masked jonin appeared in front of her. "What have I told you about comrades Naruto?"
Naruto stuck her tongue out at him. "Shut up Bakashi," before she looked at Sasuke. "Cash only," She stated. Instantly both vanished in small poofs of smoke.
Anko barely had time to register the piece of paper fluttering in front of her before the clearing was filled with a noxious smoke.
Both of the older shinobi appeared almost a hundred meters away from it gagging from the stink bomb seals.
Kakashi looked at Anko and shook his head. "I think we've been training those two a little too well."
Anko gave him a no shit expression. "I'm looking forward to when they get shoved into the academy. Hundred says it'll be three months before they kill someone."
Kakashi thought for a moment. "Let's get that one registered, I'm certain everyone else will want in on it as well." Anko grinned and the two went to work. Konoha's Anbu forces were notorious for three things. Completing their mission, flawless loyalty to their Hokage, and absolutely unashamed gambling over the most interesting gossip subjects available. As the unofficial mascots of their force Sasuke and Naruto certainly fell into that category.
Elsewhere Naruto was busy trying to get a genjutsu to work for her. She could create one that made her all but invisible and displaced her chakra signature all over the place making it nearly impossible to trace her without the Hyuga bloodline but she wasn't satisfied.
She'd had Itachi use them on her to many times not to envy their power on a battlefield and more importantly on infiltration and sabatoge missions which she found the most appealing. The girl loved to break shit, simple as that. Hells, she'd learned how to make her own explosive seals just so she could. The village also hadn't left mid alert status since.
Sasuke sat cross legged under a tree as he studied a jutsu scroll his father had given him in an attempted peace offering. . . or bribe. He'd pushed Sasuke a little too far several months ago when he'd demanded that his youngest stop training beside Naruto. He'd even gone as far as to call it pointless since he'd been unable to activate his sharingan. Sasuke had immediately stood and left only briefly stating that the majority of the shinobi world did not possess the sharingan either and still somehow made due.
Not one to let potential power go Sasuke studied the scroll intently before finally looking up. "Give it a break psycho, you're just going to blow something up again if you keep it up."
Naruto huffed but nodded. Stomping over towards him she pulled a stack of paper, multiple sets of ink and pens, multiple text books, and finally a thick journal from a seal on the inside of her jacket and opened up to reveal a large collection of notes on different sealing styles.
A dozen or so clones popped into existence as she did. Each of them grabbed a stack of paper one of the bottles and a pen before making for the most desolate training ground in all of Konoha. Seals were a dangerous subject and only Naruto could study them with any kind of recklessness.
She wouldn't have been able to afford it either if Karite didn't find the different ways she'd managed to kill herself so amusing. Despite having been unable to get the black senbon from him yet he had granted them both a rather generous discount on everything that he only gave his friends.
Neither of them talked, after so much time together they really didn't need to. Hell, they'd both spent a week trapped in a cave with nothing but each other a lantern and provisions and still had bothered to unless necessary. Itachi's idea of a joke and training wrapped up in one. They'd spent three months dedicated to getting back at him. The anbu headquarters still had the stains on the wall.
The sound of screaming came from the direction of the clones. Nothing new until Naruto stood up. Sasuke looked at her. Naruto didn't stand up unless whatever had happened had pissed her off. "What the hell did you manage to do?"
She snorted. "You're going to want to see this."
Sasuke was indeed glad he'd followed her. What had once been a desolate training ground used for katon jutsus was now a crater with a twenty meter radius and equivalent depth. "What the fuck did you do this time psycho?" He asked in wonder.
Naruto snickered as she pointed towards the white thing in the middle of the hole. "That clone was supposed to create a bigger storage seal but I think it managed to create something a little more interesting."
Sasuke arched an eyebrow at her. "No shit."
Naruto instantly summoned several clones. "Go figure out if that things stable enough for me to transport. If not take it to the lab, do not be seen."
The clones nodded and quickly ran down the slope. After several minutes of deliberation one of the turned back to look at her and shook its head. Naruto frowned. "Put a demolition seal on it the minute you get it to the lab. Get me a chakraless copy before night fall understood." The clones nodded and carried off the paper.
Sasuke looked at her. "Normally I'd say your paranoia is worse than my brothers but this time I'm not certain it's enough. They have to go through at least six crowded sections."
Naruto shrugged. "They have an Anbu escort already. There really isn't a lot more I can do." She turned and stalked away. "I've got to get more supplies now, you coming."
"Why not?" Sasuke stated dryly and followed.
They were just outside The Forge when Itachi appeared before them. "It's safely with in the lab Naruto though the Hokage is very curious on what caused that."
"Of course he is and before anyone asks, I'm not giving that seal to anyone. If I can make it functional I will be the only one who uses it for obvious reasons."
Itachi nodded his head in agreement. "Agreed, that kind of power is more dangerous than most forbidden jutsus."
Naruto grinned. "It has certainly made it to the top of my priority list."
Sasuke only barely suppressed a shudder at the eager tone his best friend had at the prospect. He had a feeling that hole was going to be getting quite a bit bigger if she didn't figure out how to release what was already trapped within it.
The three entered the weapons shop to be greeted by the traditional snores of its purple robed owner once again. Naruto quickly scribbled a note explaining what happened and what she was taking. Ripping it off the pad she wadded it up and proceeded to pry his mouth open and stick it in.
Despite having seen the sight before both Itachi and Sasuke only snickered. Naruto made for the section holding sealing equipment before making her traditional stop to see the copper blades.
Itachi and Sasuke waited for her patiently. She brushed by them mildly irritated that she was once again leaving without those blades.
The door had barely closed behind them when a loud retching noise and a scream of, "Fucking brat," filled the street.
Naruto snickered and shunsined away content.
Sasuke looked at his brother a little shyly and a definite blush. "Do I have even the remotest chance with her?"
Itachi sighed and crouched placing a hand on his brother's shoulder. "Sasuke, if Naruto ever expresses a romantic interest in you I want you to be afraid, very, very, very afraid. That girl's priorities don't have sanity listed anywhere on them."
Sasuke sighed and nodded. Itachi was pleased to see the last of the faint crush die a horrible death. Itachi considered it a merciful killing at this point.
The Hokage
Hiruzen found the look on Danzo's face as he read the brief report on Naruto's latest discovery well worth calling him from the depths of his usual office. "That psycho actually came up with something like this?" Danzo stated unable to believe the information in front of him.
Hiruzen shrugged. "It could very well be her way of signing her name on this worlds history though I somehow doubt it."
Danzo frowned. "How so?"
Hiruzen shook his head. "I'm not really the best one to say," He looked towards the shadows. "Itachi would you care to fill him in."
Itachi stepped from the shadows and bowed politely to both of them before beginning his report. "Naruto is driven but has no direction that is apparent. Her caution with seals is matched only by her recklessness. As for her other skills, she has no interest in jutsu's outside of her wind manipulation despite the fact that two are required for the rank of Jonin.
"I hear that she and Karite have a rather interesting relationship when it comes to a certain set of blades." Danzo stated absently clearly fishing for some of the more juicy details.
Itachi nodded though both Danzo's and the hokages jaws dropped at the sight of his smile. "They do indeed. Naruto's started the habit of shoving her note in his mouth. The first time she did it the ink ran and she made off with three months' worth of sealing supplies. Since she left a note though Karite stated he couldn't go after her for theft."
Several thuds from the anbu body guards in the rafters could be clearly heard and the hokage choked on his sake.
Danzo started to howl with laughter. "Bet he switched to water proof ink real quickly."
"Sure did but that didn't stop her from continuing to shove them in his mouth."
Hiruzen shook his head. "Do you think it was an accident?"
Itachi gave him a so so gesture. "Might have been or it could have been a test. I certainly won't be delving into her mind anytime soon. I like the slice of sanity I've got left."
The Hokage and Danzo simply nodded in agreement.
Sasuke
The class room was filled with chatter as he and Naruto stepped into it. Naruto was more focused on her sealing journal so she didn't really note the sudden silence as the two of them stepped in. He envied the level of focus she could put into her research and training and still maintain a certain level of clarity of the world around her no doubt thanks to the Kyuubi or Kurama as she called him.
One boy with clan tattoo's attempted to stick his leg out to trip her but she simply stepped on it instead. From the boy's cry of pain Sasuke reasoned that she had probably added chakra. He'd be limping for the rest of the day for certain. Sasuke smirked as he followed her and smacked the boy on the back of the head as he did. The boy snarled at him but Sasuke fixed him with an empty look. "You got of lucky."
He ignored the Inuzuka after he'd finished speaking and moved to follow his sister, only to have his arm grabbed by someone with a remarkably strong grip. Strong enough that when he pulled his arm away the pink haired girl came with it instead of slipping free.
Sasuke recoiled when he saw the shining look in the girl's eyes that reminded him far too much of a cat who had cornered a mouse. Her squealing voice though was nails on a chalk board. "Your Uchiha Sasuke aren't you, I can't believe we're in the same class."
Sasuke looked to Naruto for help in removing the strange creature from his arm but the blond was ignoring his predicament in order to laugh at him. She'd always told him his good looks would net him nothing but trouble.
He was so focused on trying to shake loose of the pink haired girl that he didn't notice when a blond trapped his other arm. "What are you doing billboard brow, you shouldn't be harassing Sasuke." She shrieked almost directly into his ear.
More than fed up with both of these girl's and pissed at Naruto, Sasuke substituted with the blond girl's note book. His blond partner cried out in dismay as she watched her precious notes go down in a heap of pink and blond. Sasuke's ear was still ringing from the blond all but screaming into it but his other worked well enough to enjoy their sounds of pain as Naruto threw the two on to separate sides of the room and retrieved her note book.
The sight of her scarred eyes and furious snarl when she faced him was enough to send a tremor up his spine but he hid it as best he could as he crossed his arms and glared back at her.
Iruka
Iruka was happy, he had a brand new class of potential ninja today and he was looking forward to meeting them. While he hated all the paper work that came with the job the sight of his students' cheerful faces was more than enough to balance out the negative sides.
What's more he didn't have to worry about any of them throwing kunai at him for at least the first couple of months. The though crossed his mind almost in perfect timing with one of his colleagues crying out as the familiar ring of a kunai hitting wood reached his ears.
He couldn't help but laugh as he slid open the door to his class room only to find two girls in unconscious heaps on opposite sides of the room and the blond pariah of the village ready to beat the stuffing out it latest prodigy. The killing intent in the room actually made his heart rate increase and that was only what the blond wasn't focusing on the Uchiha. Silently he close the door and held his hands together as he pledged to Kami that he would always check who he was assigned to teach instead of allowing himself to be surprised if he in turn would help him survive this school year.
With a single envious look to his colleagues rowdy but thankfully prodigy 'free' class he opened the door to the class room and stepped inside. He stopped dead when he realized that not only was the killing intent gone but that both Naruto and Sasuke were sitting at the same desk. While clearly ignoring each it seemed like both were really just pouting instead of ready to kill each other as they had been mere moments before.
The rest of the class were unbelievably quiet, all of them besides one boy with black hair tied back in a pony tail that resembled a pine apple who had his head on the desk clearly asleep displaying evident fearful disbelief.
With a final sigh to prepare him for what was no doubt coming Iruka cleared his throat. "My name is Iruka. I will be your sensei for the next three years. I hope to become good friends with each of you as well as help you become Shinobi of Konoha." Thus started the most dangerous academic achievement in the history of Konoha.
