A/N: Yes I know... another one. Live with it lol. A friend's OC just spoke to me so im trying to make a fic revolving around her, Naruto, and Hinata. If you don't like it, don't read it. Thanks again to Leonineus for ghostwriting a few sections for me.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
"Monster..."
That was the only name Moyasu had ever known in the orphanage, except for the one she had been give by the wrinkly old man in Hokage robes: Moyasu. Ever since the day she had developed bizarre mouths on the palms of her hands, ever since she had been naive enough to show them to the matron and ask what they were, her name had simply been, "Monster".
And so it was that at meal times that she and another child named Naruto whom was dubbed 'Demon' were given less food than the other orphans and even given rotten or rotting food with the claims that 'monsters and demons don't need food.' It was this mentality that caused the pair to often go hungry but on the flip side, it caused the two to bond closer as friends than the other children.
More often than not the two wound up sleeping in the same room where Naruto learned a secret his friend would rather have kept hidden: she wet the bed at night. Of course, this little fact meant little to Naruto as Moyasu was still his best and only friend, and the only one who gave him the time of day. Despite the matron's best efforts to keep Naruto and Moyasu apart, the two continued to play and eat together until age six when they were thrown out of the orphanage in a last-ditch effort to make the two miserable, once more citing the old adage 'Demons and Monsters don't need a place to live.'
However, not even this was able to stop the two as it only pushed them closer together as they were all the other had to rely on in order to stay alive. At least until the Third Hokage came along and supplied them with an apartment of their own and a small stipend to keep them afloat financially. This of course did little to no good as most places would deny them food for the same old reasons. Shortly after they had moved into their new home, they received a guest in the form of an Iwa Nin named Deidara who turned out to be Moyasu's biological father. He told the children about her mother who had fled from Iwa after a baby Moyasu had been subjected to a bloodline test where it was determined that she had inherited his Explosion Release kekkei genkai and was to be forced into the explosive corps. Her mother however, had died as a result of injuries inflicted upon her by Iwa's version of ANBU and had apparently left her in the care of Sarutobi asking that she be cared for.
Once he had completed the story of what happened to Moyasu's mother, Deidara provided her with four special pouches filled with various grades of explosive clay and instructions on how to use the mouths on her hands to chew the clay and imbue her chakra into it. His final words before he left being that he had gone missing nin in order to find Moyasu, had been for Naruto to protect her and for neither her nor Naruto to ever trust Iwa.
Timeskip: Six Years
"Hahaha! Run Moyasu-chan!" A twelve year old Naruto laughed as he and his best friend in the world ran from the regular mobs of ANBU and Jounin level ninja after their latest prank: painting the Hokage Monument.
"Slow down, Naru-kun! Not everybody is a stamina freak like you!" Moyasu called after her friend as she did her best to keep up with him while her hands chewed on some clay to distract their pursuers.
"Got you, Naruto!" The academy teacher Iruka Umino declared as he grabbed the young blonde by the back of his jumpsuit only to have 'Naruto' explode on him causing both blondes who were ahead of him to laugh loudly before making their way towards the academy where they took their seats looking totally innocent. Moyasu flipped her pony-tail out of her face as she and Naruto caught their breath from their little excursion, grinning at each other.
Before they could congratulate each other on their scheme, Iruka stormed in looking singed and cast both a nasty glare. "Tomorrow," he growled, casting all of them a burning look, "All of you will sit your final exams. I would think that all of you would be at home studying, instead of messing about with the ANBU."
As one everybody turned to look at Naruto and Moyasu, who looked utterly unrepentant.
"But Iruka-sensei," Moyasu protested, "We need to keep ANBU on their toes! Who knows when Iwa will choose to invade us!"
Nodding along with his friend, Naruto decided to add in his two cents. "Yeah, shes right, Iruka-sensei. If ANBU can't catch a couple of twelve year old kids how are they supposed to catch full grown ninja who have trained for years?"
"This exam," he continued in a low growl that reminded some of them of an angry bear, "will decide your careers. For some of you," he looked up at Moyasu and Naruto, "it will be your LAST chance to pass to become ninja."
"Bah! Don't worry about it Iruka-sensei! Moyasu-chan and I will ace that test easy!" Naruto boasted. "You saw her clay clone after all!"
"Yeah that's right! My clay bunshins are far superior to those craptastic illusion bunshins they teach here." Moyasu huffed.
"Shut your mouth, dobe two." Sasuke sneered. "If your clones were so great you would have graduated your first try."
"Cha! That's right you flat chested bimbo!" Sakura echoed her crush. "Stop trying to look cool like Sasuke-kun."
"WHO'RE YOU CALLING FLAT AS A TABLE YOU FOREHEAD FREAK?" Moyasu exploded at the comment about her chest.
Naruto sweat dropped at his friend's outburst and pulled her back into her seat. "She didn't say that, Moyasu-chan." He then turned his attention to Sakura. "Ne, Sakura-san, if you want to keep your limbs attached I suggest not insulting the girl who constantly blows up ANBU for fun."
With a heavy sigh, Iruka dismissed the class to go home and prepare for tomorrows exam.
Upon leaving the Academy, Naruto grabbed Moyasu's arm and began dragging her off towards their favourite food stand. "C'mon Moyasu-chan. Let's go get some Ichiraku Ramen..
The next day Naruto and Moyasu arrived early at the Academy and waited patiently while Iruka and Mizuki passed out the written tests. It took several hours for everyone to complete them but once they had, the two sensei began calling in the various students in to take their jutsu portion of their exams. Most of them came out grinning and sporting new Konoha hitai-ites, there were a few however who exited frowning without a hitai-ite.
After a while, Iruka came out of the exam room and called, "Moyasu!"
"Wish me luck, Naruto-kun." Moyasu said with a grin as she got up and headed towards the exam room.
"Good luck Moyasu-chan! Not like you need it though." Naruto responded, grinning back at her.
"Alright Moyasu." Iruka began. "Please preform a Kawarimi."
Nodding, Moyasu quickly preformed the jutsu, switching places with Mizuki before switching back.
"Good." Iruka praised. "Now preform a henge. Transform into Hokage-sama, please."
Making the proper hand seals, the pony-tailed blonde was engulfed by a poof of smoke. Once it cleared, where Moyasu once stood was a perfect replica of the Third Hokage.
"Excellent job." Mizuki commented, making notes on his clipboard. "Now make three bunshins, please."
Taking a deep breath, Moyasu reached her hands into her clay pouches as the mouths on her hands got to work chewing and moulding the clay before she made a few hand signs and called out "Jibaku Bunshin no Jutsu!" With another poof of smoke, three identical copies of Moyasu appeared next to her, all grinning. "And now... Art is an Explosion! Katsu!" That said, her three clones charged forward and exploded, slightly burning Iruka and giving Mizuki a few first degree burns.
Coughing a bit and sighing at her antics, Iruka handed Moyasu her hitai-ite before sending her out to call in the next student.
When it finally came to Naruto's turn, Moyasu waited outside the room for a while before Mizuki and Iruka walked out without Naruto. "Ano, Iruka-sensei? Where is Naruto-kun?"
"He failed the test, Moyasu-chan. He couldn't make a simple bunshin." Iruka explained to his student.
"That's impossible! Naruto-kun and I worked on that technique for years! He was able to do it, Sensei! I know he can! I saw him do it last night when we were training!" Moyasu protested.
"Be that as it may, Moyasu, he could not preform a bunshin today during the exam so he failed and ran off." Mizuki said.
Upon hearing that, Moyasu ran off in search of her friend. 'Naruto-kun...'
