The second chapter, enjoy!!
Chapter two.
Naruto groaned. He felt as if he had been turned inside out and then back again… slowly. He opened his eyes and blinked. He was in a forest of some kind.
'What the?' He thought.
Are you alright kit?
Naruto jumped at the sound of Kyuubi's voice and then smiled.
Yea, I'm okay. I just feel weird. What happened?
You died.
I what!-?
You died. The virus was slowly killing you. There was nothing Tsunade and I could do, so they had to shut off your life support. So you died. And in a desperate measure I merged with you. Congratulations… you are now half demon. You have my chakra, senses, skills, power and knowledge… And I made a few changes.
I got all your abilities… cool. Wait, what do mean 'you made a few changes'?
Er, go look in the river. Its a few metres from you.
Naruto narrowed his eyes suspiciously and stop up. On slightly shaky legs, he went over to the river and looked in the river. When he did, he made a strangulated noise and silently screamed,
KYUUBI! WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE!
Don't you like the changes?
I'm a woman!! AHH!!
Yes, the reflection was indeed a woman's. She had large sky blue eyes with long curvy eyelashes, a small yet perfect nose and full luscious lips. Naruto also didn't have the whisker marks any more. Naruto scowled; silently thinking of the many was in which to kill that damned fox.
I can hear you, you know.
Why did you make me a girl?
Well, I didn't want to be merged with a male body, so I made you female.
What was wrong with my male body?
Several things… And stop complaining as you cannot change back.
Naruto sank to the ground and ran a hand through his/her hair and found it long, really long. It felt silky and nice to touch. He looked closely at it and saw that among the blonde strands, there were red hairs, which glinted in the morning sun. Naruto sighed and threw it back over her shoulder.
Great. I don't know where I am with a crazed demon and just had a sex change. I feel like hitting my head on a brick wall.
Don't. I know where we are. On the outskirts on Konoha. We will be staying here for a few months training you. Then we will go back to Konoha.
But I'm supposed to be dead!
Uzumaki Naruto is dead, not you.
But I am Uzumaki Naruto!
Not any more. You are a Kazama, the Yondiame's daughter.
I'm the forth's daughter? Cool… except the daughter part.
Do you have a name suggestion? Naruto is a boy's name. You can't have it.
Ok, fine. Erm, how about Natsuki?
Sounds nice. Kazama Natsuki. Yes, that will do fine. Oh, and I have unlocked your bloodline limit as well.
Bloodline limit? What does it do?
It's a doujutsu, like the sharingan. It's called the Kokugen. You can slow down time around you, but you can still move at normal speed. That's what gave your father the name 'Yellow Flash'.
That is so COOL!
Yes, well. Lets get on with training, okay?
OKAY!!
Tsunade sighed as she worked through the never ending piles of paperwork. There was no end to them! She sighed and decided to give herself a little rest. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the clock. 10:30 in the morning. Damn, and she already tired?
She then looked over at a picture that she kept on her desk. It was a picture of Naruto. It had been three months since his death and Konoha had seemed rather dull without him. Tsunade sighed again, closing her eyes. She reached for the sake bottle that what near her, only to find it not there. She opened her eyes and blinked. The bottle was gone.
She heard a small clink and looked at the source. I was a girl, and she had her sake bottle.
"Give that back." She snapped irritably, though she was wary of this stranger. She looked vaguely familiar. She had features similar to Naruto's, but hers were more….perfect. Her blonde hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and even then it reached her waist. She wore a tight black leather vest and trousers, showing off her mature curves. She also wore a deep violet leather coat that reached mid shin. She wore combat boot with spikes covering the end.
The girl smiled slightly, placing the sake bottle on the desk.
"Who are you?"
The girl cocked her head and grinned an infectious grin. Tsunade had seen that grin before. Tsunade narrowed her eyes at the girl.
"I'll ask again. Who are you?"
The girl blinked and asked,
"Don't you recognise me?"
Tsunade blinked. She did not, but the girl seemed really familiar.
"Have I really changed that much obaa-chan?"
Tsunade froze. The only one that she let call her that was…
"Naruto…?"
"Yes."
Tsunade stared at the girl with her mouth open.
"Is it really you?"
"…Yes…"
"You're dead!"
"Correction. Was."
"What do you mean, 'was'?"
"Well, after you turned off my life support, I did die. But Kyuubi, as a measure of desperation, merged with me and bringing me back to life."
Tsunade sat there, her mouth open and blinking.
"Are you telling the truth?" She demanded, although she was wishing with all her heart that it was.
"Yes. If you don't believe me, look."
She lifted her vest up and showed Tsunade the faint outline of the seal that held Kyuubi, or used to.
Tsunade stood up and moved around the desk, and looked intently at the seal. It was not fake, which could only mean one thing…
"Oh my!" Tsunade said in a low cry, surprising the girl by taking her in a bone crushing hug.
"Ah! Tsunade-obaachan, can't breathe!"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just so happy to see you. I really thought you were dead!" Tsunade said, letting go of Naruto. Tsunade then paused and asked,
"Er, Naruto. Why are you disguised as a girl?"
Naruto managed to look very embarrassed at that and mumbled,
"Kyuubi said that she didn't want to merge with a boy, so she made me a girl… and I can't change back, so I'm stuck with being a girl."
Tsunade blinked and then laughed, making Naruto blush and say,
"Shut up! It's not that funny!"
"Yes it is, but I'm glad you're okay. Are you going to tell the others?"
Naruto's face fell and she shook her head saying,
"No. Not yet. Can I be in the team with Sasuke and Sakura? That is, if you haven't already chosen a new team member."
"No I haven't. I thought that I would let them have a break before I do. What shall we call you; you can't go around as 'Uzumaki Naruto'."
Naruto grinned and said,
"Kazama Natsuki."
"Kazama!-?"
"Yes. I know that the Yondiame is my father, and I have activated the Kokugen."
Tsunade sighed, and then smiled, saying,
"Kakashi may be suspicious but we may find a way to get around him."
Natsuki smiled and then yawned.
"Ne, Tsunade-obaachan. Is there anywhere I can sleep? I need a home."
"Well, you can stay in your apartment. No one wants to buy it as they think it's cursed. Causing the land lord quite some grief. Oh, and no one will recognise your name as forth never let his name go around the village. So you won't be praised or anything like that."
"Oh, that's good. I was kinda concerned about that. Thanks. I'll go talk to the land lady now. Bye!"
"Be here at eight tomorrow, and you'll be but in Kakashi's team and you get to keep your Chuunin rank. Got that?"
Natsuki winked at her and slipped out of the room.
Tsunade sighed and sat down, thinking. She was the only person who knew. She smiled slightly. She wasn't going to tell anyone, though she would tell Jiraiya. Natsuki wouldn't mind and Jiraiya ought to know. Just then, Shizune came in with another pile of paperwork. Tsunade groaned and said,
"This job is going to be the death of me."
"But you need to do it Tsunade-sama."
"Hai, hai. Oh, and can you give this to Kakashi for me?" Tsunade said, writing a small note and giving it to the younger woman with a small smile.
Shizune blinked and then nodded, exiting. Tsunade smirked, thinking that it was going to be much more interesting with Naruto back around.
Sakura was bored…really bored. She and Sasuke were waiting for Kakashi… who was late… again…
Sakura just wanted to punch him into a wall and bury him alive. She then busied herself with thinking of various ways to torture and maim her sensei.
There was a poof of smoke and Kakashi appeared.
"Yo!" He said.
"Shut up." Sakura said acidly. She never complained about him being late anymore… not since Naruto's death a few months back. Kakashi sighed and said,
"Tsunade-sama wants to see us. She said that she has chosen a new team member for you."
"No." Sakura said.
"Huh?"
"No. No one is going to try and take Naruto's place. I won't allow it!"
Kakashi sighed and said sadly,
"Look. I know how you feel, but we must move on. What will Naruto say if he saw you like this?"
Sakura glared at the older man and growled, "Fine."
"Let's go then."
They arrived at the Hokage office and were immediately ushered into the office. Tsunade was sat there reading a scroll with a light frown on her face. When the door closed with them stood in front of her desk, she looked at them and gave them a half smile.
She put the scroll down and regarded them.
"I have found a new team mate for you. She is a Chuunin like you two and shows much promise. Her name is Kazama Natsuki."
Kakashi looked at the door and his visible eye almost popped out of his face. Sasuke also looked like was staring at something incredibly nice. Irritated, Sakura turned around and scowled. There, leaning against the door in a relaxed manner stood an extremely pretty girl who's body was far to mature for her age. Sakura felt the first stirrings of jealousy. Heck, even Ino would be jealous of her!
The girl opened her eyes and stared at them, and Sakura felt uneasy under the girl's intense stare.
Kakashi cleared his throat and said,
"Ah, well, erm. Nice to meet you Natsuki."
Natsuki cocked her head and then smiled gently at them, which seemed to increase her beauty ten fold. She gracefully walked over and stood next to Sakura and winked at her. Sakura huffed, but otherwise did nothing. Tsunade raised an eyebrow. She then said,
"And you should also know that Natsuki here is the Forth's daughter."
"What!-?" Sakura exclaimed, feeling the jealousy increase. 'Great, now this tart belongs to a really important family.'
"Yes. She is his daughter. She has been in hiding most of her life and I decided that you would be the perfect team for her."
Sakura felt as if Tsunade was saying a death sentence, and she glared at the girl, who paid her no heed.
"Sakura, be nice." Tsunade said sharply. Sakura gritted her teeth as Natsuki smirked.
"Oh, only just met you guys and I already have a rival. How fun!" the blonde said, and Sakura wanted to scream. Even her voice sounded beautiful!
"Now go train and leave me to do all this… paperwork."
Sakura gave Natsuki one more glare and stormed out the office.
Natsuki turned to Sasuke and asked,
"Is she always like that?"
Sasuke couldn't do anything but nod as he looked at her suspiciously. She reminded him of someone….
There, another chapter!!
Now, does anyone want to suggest any pairings?
