The Greek Kunoichi.
Specifics of the challenge and prologue.
Author's notes: Yes, a new story. Don't worry I won't abandon my other one. I just had so many ideas with Naruto in it that I realized that I must write them down to try and make a good story with it. This one will be more light hearted and with more humour, but it will have some heavy moments. I did take a few liberties with some characters and locations though. I hope you will like it.
Requirements:
- Naruto MUST be born a female demigod and become the third Jinchûriki of Kurama shortly after her birth. With Kurama inside her, it gives her shape shifting abilities, giving her the ability to pass to one gender to another, like the Kitsunes are described in the Japanese folklore. Accepted.
- Naruto is a serious kunoichi, absolutely not a fan girl. She uses anything to survive or to complete her mission. Be it her feminine wiles or her ninjutsu repertoire. Don't get me wrong, she can be rather feminine in the proper mood or the proper situation, but she won't wait for her knight in shiny armour to rescue her. Accepted.
- Naruto's main chakra affinity has to be wind. I love Wind Style: Rasenshuriken and the way you can sharpen a blade with wind chakra. You can give her affinities with other elements if it pleases you, but wind is her main one. Accepted, Wind and Water are her affinities.
- I want a hypocrite Super Pervert Jiraiya! He still peeps on other women at the hot springs or other watering holes, lakes, rivers, etc. But he refuses categorically to peep when his goddaughter is in the vicinity and he enter ''super protective father mode'' in place of Minato when he see a boy flirt with her. XD Probably won't be in the main story, but will be mentioned.
- I also want a scene where Naruto ask Sarutobi where babies come from and see the old man sweat and try to get him off the hook by sending her to Anko when she got her first period. To his great horror, The Snake Bitch becomes her role model! XD Imagine the chaos she can cause with Anko's teachings! XD Accepted. She won't be able to ask her mother because she will be on a mission out of the village at that time.
- Even as a female, Naruto is not respectful of authority figures and is the prankster queen from Hell, she's still blunt and direct and gives people nicknames. Sarutobi is still Jiji or Old Man or Gramps, Jiraiya is still Ero Sennin or Pervy Sage and the last but not the least, Tsunade is still Baa-chan or Granny! : P Don't forgets to make her cause chaos and mayhem for the fun of it or to get rid of her frustrations if sex or violence isn't possible at the moment. ;) No problem.
- If Naruto is a daughter of Aphrodite, you have to choose between charm speak and the adamantine chakra chains, if she has both then in my sense, she would be a bit too overpowered. The chakra chains are available if she's another god or goddess daughter. As a trained Kunoichi, she can seduce without a magical gift. Yes for the chakra chains, she won't be related to Aphrodite.
- Toad Sage Naruto/Perfect tailed Beast mode. Of course! I probably won't put Six Paths Sage Mode though.
Forbidden:
- Dumb! Naruto. I've seen it a thousand times, as a girl I think that some things would enter her mind and stay there better. Yes, A.D.H.D and Dyslexia causes her problems, but as a little girl susceptible to be kidnapped and sold as a sex slave, the guard around Naruto is a lot more noticed and vigilant, as such, the biased teachers can't sabotage her or the Hokage will have their heads. So Naruto's problems are noticed quite early and her caretakers act on the information acquired to solve the problems as much as possible. She will be well taken care of and won't be left to fend for herself.
- Killer Mobs who want the Demon girl's blood. I've seen way too much of them. The civilians can be short with her and not like her at all, but remember people; Konohagakure No Sato is a Shinobi Village! Shinobi are military. Even if some people are resentful of the girl for what she contains, they will act as professionals. They don't have to love her or even to like her, but on the clock they are professionals. Off the clock, they just ignore her. No problem, killer mobs are bad for stories.
- Advanced Bloodlines limits such as Mokuton, Hyoton, Shoton, and others. I don't intend to give her anything like that.
- Sharingan/Byakugan/Rinnegan/Rinne Sharingan Naruto. These dojutsus come from Indra Otsutsuki except the Byakugam which came from Hamura Otsutsuki. They're not in Naruto's pedigree.
Recommended:
- Naruto makes her debut in our world after the Second Titanomachy. I don't want to steal the thunder of the main characters. It probably will be after the second war against the Giants or close to it.
- Female Kurama. Hum, maybe.
- Naruto bitch slap Apollo when he hits on her even after telling him to sod off and manipulate the feminine fury of Artemis and her hunters to chase the womanizing god like a deer. That one won't be there but I have something special in mind for Apollo. *Evil smirk*
- Naruto trains the girls at Camp to become Kunoichi, even if they don't have chakra. Only for those who are willing to follow her training regimen.
- Bisexual Naruto. Yup! Olympian practiced and approved!
- Daughter of Aphrodite Naruto. Nope!
- Daughter of Ares Naruto. Nope!
- Legacy of other gods. Yes.
Warning: The time lines won't be as set in stone as canon because I can't find the dates of the first, second and third Shinobi world wars and compare them with the important dates of the Percy Jackson universe. I will then use real world dates. Naruto will be eighteen when she goes to Camp Half Blood at the request of her grandparents who will reveal that her father is indeed alive in another form; around 2009 once she will be done with the Fourth Shinobi World War and had time to recuperate, thus she was born on October 10 1991. Kushina was 24 years old when she gave birth to Naruto, it will mean that she will be born on July 10 1967. Minato Namikaze is Apollo (Greek Mode) in human form with his godly powers and memories sealed, punished by Zeus who was sick of his immaturity even more than the other Olympians. Yes, there are elements of both series of Bonesboy15, but I asked permission before hand and he gave it. I also give you a big thank you for letting me play with your ideas. Minato was 24 years old when he was ''killed'' by Kurama and his pact with the Shinigami, thus he would have been ''born'' on January 25 1967. The wikis are really practical for stuff like that.
Explanations and prologue
In this story, Kushina Uzumaki is a twice born Demigod. I give my kudos to DZ2 for the idea and the term. Wanting a child and being fervent followers of the Greek God Poseidon and his court, Kazama Uzumaki, Uzumaki clan head and his wife Kimiko both prayed the deities of the Ocean, pleading for a child for because of a nasty wound during a battle in the closing of the Second Shinobi World War, he was left sterile and his wife was equally barren. Poseidon, King of Atlantis and with a plethora of others titles and Amphitrite, his wife and Queen, answered the prayer. They infused Kazama and Kimiko with their own essence, healing them enough for conceiving one child and only one child. The mortal couple, shinobi or not, could not endure bearing the essences of two Gods more than once. Thus Kushina was conceived. She would be mortal, but would have two set of parents. One set mortal, on set divine. One set to raise her, on set to watch her from the water kingdom below.
Uzushiogakure No Sato (The Village hidden into the whirlpool) was the Shinobi village of Uzu No Kuni (The land of Whirlpools). Said land was an archipelago of a dozen isles roughly located in a circle around the main island where the shinobi village was located. Uzu No Kuni was at large into the ocean, of the coast of Hi No Kuni (The land of Fire), but still considered part of The Elemental Nations as called by the locals, or Delos by the rest of the world, the moving Island of the Letoides, the birth place of the twin archers' gods. Originally, the island was not the size of a small continent but Leto had wanted to let the human population have more place to evolve, she then used a large amount of her power to enlarge it to what it is to this day. Uzu No Kuni's borders where very hard to breach as they were at sea and protected by large maelstroms. Nobody but a god, immortal or a creature of the sea could bypass them without the locals' help; it was a secret of state and very harsh punishments were visited upon those who breached that law. In fact, Uzu No Kuni was a strange place; the culture was a savant mix of Greek, Polynesian and many Asian ones. The language used was also a mix of different Asian based one, very similar to the mainland, but Japanese and Polynesian were the dominant ones. You want someone to blame for the variety? Blame an easy to impress and influence, Apollo. Well, that's what Artemis does usually. We just find that it works. Yes, it's a Blame Apollo Day. Tomorrow it will be Zeus' turn. The day after tomorrow will be Ares'.
The majority of the country inhabitants where very devoted worshippers of Poseidon, his immediate divine family (wife, sons, daughters) and his court. Poseidon, Amphitrite and Triton had each their own temples build around the archipelago. Yes, the names of the Shinto deities would come around from time to time, but the pantheon worshipped was the Greek one. Romans Gods? What are you talking about? Oh, you mean when Apollo had his ego inflate tenfold and Artemis tried a new dress code! I was thinking it was just a phase, like the equivalence of teenager hood but for Gods. The fact that Delos could only be influenced at godly level by Apollo and Artemis and to a certain point by Leto was a boon for the rulers of Atlantis. On the mainland, they had no power, but in the borders of Uzu No Kuni, the worship and the food sacrifices made that country theirs, thus a great spot to go relax and enjoy the fine things in life without being bothered by others divinities. The fact that the locals were immune to the Mist and aware of their divine or immortal nature but weren't much fussing on them was a fantastic boon. A bow of the head and the respectful suffix "sama" added to their names was the most they got. It was really refreshing.
Of course, it also helped that divine and immortals children would come out of the ocean and play with the non divine ones, making a close knit community. It was as close as Elysium for the living. There was a rumor that Hades-Sama and his wife, Persephone-Sama both managed to obtain a weekend pass from Poseidon-Sama a few times, but as the custom was to not bother the Gods if there weren't any real needs to, nobody could confirm it. Of course, nothing last forever, for war was on the horizon on the mainland. Uzu No Kuni was usually neutral but had good relations with Hi No Kuni and the Shinobi Village Konohagakure No Sato. (The village hidden in the leaves) Uzushio was tasked into guarding Uzu No Kuni and took most police work. But they did send some help toward Konoha in the form of supplies and a few platoons of chuunins (Journeyman Ninjas) and Jonins (Expert Ninjas). After all, the first Hokage married an Uzumaki, Mito. Uzushiogakure No Sato was more known across the Elemental Nations for their top notch seals masters, the special chakra which gave special attributes to the Uzumaki and their potent life force permitting them to heal from almost anything and living up to two centuries if the life force was strong enough. The gods couldn't and wouldn't intervene into mortal wars, but the boon of the water nature chakra given in recompense for their fidelity and worship was another ace. Thus began the irrational fear and the unholy alliance of three of the five major hidden villages to wipe them out. Kirigakure No Sato (The village hidden in the mist), Kumogakure No Sato (The village hidden in the clouds) and Iwagakure No Sato (The village hidden in the rocks) managed to bypass the defenses around Uzu No Kuni and overwhelmed their defenses. But Uzu did not go down easily, many of the invaders paid their folly with their lives. The loss were catastrophic on both sides, with the ninja village destroyed, the riches lost. But the gods of the ocean helped indirectly where they could, creating a thick blanket of mist to hide fleeing civilians and children, making sure that those who escaped by boat would find safe passage.
In the end, the Uzumaki clan was scattered to the wind, survivors fleeing the fires of war. Kushina was such a refugee. In fact, she was sent to Konoha to become the second jinchūriki (Power of human sacrifice) of the Nine-Tails a few days before Uzu No Kuni had fallen. Mito was on her death bed and even among the clan; Kushina's chakra was special even by the standards of the clan. She was the ideal host for a tailed beast. Years would pass as time waits for no one. Thus after twelve years of being a Konoha citizen, that night, October 10 1991, she was becoming something only a woman could become. A mother. But even if the birth passed without problems and her and Minato's daughter was delivered safely, everything else went to Tartarus as the Greek expression says. A masked man kidnapped her precious newborn daughter after bypassing and killing all their security detail. The rest of the night passed as a blur. Kurama was unsealed forcefully from her and forced into a genjutsu to attack the village. Minato fought the masked man and managed to break his control over Kurama, but he was so mad that even free of control he was attacking everything that moves.
If she had not been a twice born demigod of Poseidon and Amphitrite and an Uzumaki, she wouldn't have survived that night. Minato didn't. Kurama took his chance at freedom and tried to kill Naruto, needless to say she and Minato finished impaled trough the back on his claw. Minato called upon Thanatos with the Dead Demon Consuming Seal and in exchange of his soul, the Death God divided Kurama into two halves. The Yang half was sealed into Naruto and the Yin one was sealed back into Kushina. The formulas of both seals were put unto the scroll toad Gerotora and then sent to Jiraiya. Only the top brass of the village; Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado and of course her husband Minato knew of her half blood nature. When help arrived, she had only enough strength to beg Hiruzen to be immersed into water; she would not be separated from her baby girl! She may have lost her husband, but her sweet Naruto-chan needed her! As it is, without nectar and ambrosia to help the healing process, it took her water induced abilities, her Uzumaki vitality and Yin Kurama a week to heal her to a level of where she was functioning and able to walk with help of a cane.
In the week she was recovering, she learned that Minato was dead, that one hit her quite hard. She was married for only two short years and already a widow. Poor Naruto would grow up without a father. Next, Hiruzen retook the Hokage hat. That one was easy to see. He had already the skills and the experience necessary. His teammates wouldn't do the job; his old rival Shimura Danzô was far too much a war hawk to be allowed that much power. Jiraiya was needed to man Konoha's spy network. Tsunade was AWOL since the end of the Second Shinobi World War and would only come by Konoha a few times a year to visit. After the puppy eyes failed, just as all sorts of other techniques, all she had to do was telling her of what she did to Jiraiya when she learned he spied on her and Minato's love making as inspiration for his books. Needless to say, she still earned her nickname of the Red Hot Habanero after the beating she gave him. Seriously, if he could still father children after the trashing she gave him and bribing Minato to Hiraishin him to the hot springs on a Kunoichi day and the beating they gave him, she would be extremely surprised.
Thus the next bomb, she was wondering if Hiruzen had finally gone senile. She asked him in a voice that left no doubt of how foolish she thought of his actions
"Are you sure that the tobacco you smoke haven't rotten more than your lungs? You told a grieving populace that my baby girl contains half of the being that nearly crushed everything not a week ago? You expect grieving and angry civilians to understand the concept of jinchūriki? To see MY baby girl as the scroll and not the kunai? Di Immortales! Jiraiya's books have robed you of your common sense."
She exhaled loudly, took a better grip on her cane, shook her long red hair out of her face, then asked
"Where is my baby girl Hiruzen? She wasn't in my hospital room when I woke up. I even went to the nursery wing and she wasn't there. Nobody knew. I am her mother; it is my right to take care of her."
Hiruzen Sarutobi had aged. He was no longer as youthful as before, but with the stress of so much death and the aftermath of the attack and the death of his wife, his skin is lighter, his hair is grey, his face is gaunter, and he has the wrinkles and liver spots of old age. He initially had a single line running vertically under the outer corners of each eye, which stretched down into his face as he aged until they reached his cheeks. He was a tired old man but nobody else could take the reins and let him mourn. He finally answered
"I had her re localized to the A.N.B.U hospital, it is more secure. Kakashi is watching over her like a hawk. Only the nurse who brings the milk bottles to feed her and the diapers to change her and myself are authorized into the room. I also have a unit on guard outside of the wing with order to use deadly force on anything hostile approaching. I may be old Kushina, but I am not heartless. I would never separate you from your daughter. Come, let's go get her and you can go and rest. Take a few days to recover and then come back to see me so we can plan what to do next."
Kushina closed her beautiful sea green eyes and let out a relieved sigh. For a moment she was afraid that she would be forbidden to raise her child.
