Fox: Thank you all, and here's a special shout out to War WereWolf for being the first to favorite and follow this story! You're all so awesome! As soon as I saw the awesomeness of it all, I wanted to keep righting to say thank you! On another good note, Gramps started buying healthier food and it only took me getting ten stomach viruses in a month and Grams shouting at him for putting me through that to get him to do it :)! So now my mind will think of even better things for my stories!
Naruko: Nee-chan owns nothing but my little sisters! On with the story!
Fox: Well said Naru, well said!
After the celebratory Ramon at the expense of Dad's wallet, I mean jeaze; all three of us have Mom's Bottomless stomach. I refused to let Sasuke go back to that creepy compound where he watched his family die! Not tonight. I hate it any other time, but todays special!
"Sasuke! Where're you going?" I asked.
"Home. I need to sleep." he replied all emo and stuff.
"Oh no you're not. You are coming with me to get your mom's favorite flowers, and visiting your parent's grave to tell them how awesome you are. Then, you are coming to spend the night in our guest room. Let me just tell Dad. Don't you dare move! Do. You. Understand." I lectured.
"Fine! But just because I was going to see mom anyway. That and I don't want to sleep on the dock tonight."
"Yeeeaaahhh... right." I said all sarcastic and what-not just because I knew that he was lying and I ran to Dad.
"DAD!"
"What? Naru? We got to go."
"Ya I know, but I just wanted to ask if me, Kurama, and Sasuke can go visit Mikoto-ba-chan and if Sasuke can stay in our guest room tonight? Please Daddy!" I decided to use the puppy-eye trick to add to the effect of 'Daddy'.
"Well... fine. But you have to be home before nightfall. ok?"
"YAY! Thank You Daddy!" I then dragged Sasuke to Ino's flower shop. Ino was the only girl, other than me and Hinata, who wasn't a fucking fan-girl!
"Naruko-chan? What are you doing here?" Ino asked as we stepped in her family's flower shop.
"Hugh? Oh, I'm dragging Sasuke here to get a rose for his mom. We're going to visit her grave and talk to her. Mom loved Mikoto. She was like an aunt to me. I miss her to. Anyway, two windflower roses please. I and some seeds, I've wanted to see if I can't try my hand at growing them."
"Of cores! I think that you'll do a great job with the roses! I mean, we have the best lilacs, lilies, and tulips because of your garden. I can't wait to see how they turn out! here." she said handing me the seeds and flowers.
"How much?"
"They're on the house! Tell Mikoto-ba-chan I said hi!
"Thanks Ino-chan! We will. Bye!" Sasuke said, and he, Kurama, and I left for the cemetery.
Kurama I stood back while Sasuke placed his wind rose in one of the flower containers in front of Mikoto-ba-chan's grave and talked.
"Mom, I hope you're doing good wherever you are. I miss you. I promise that I won't go looking for revenge; Naru beat some sense into me. Anyway, I made it to genin. We're finding out our teams and sensei on Monday. I hope I make you proud. My new goal is to get as strong as possible to protect my family and friends. Nothing will come out of revenge, but if Itachi attacks my village, I won't hesitate to kill him. I will become strong for the right reason. I love you mom. I'll see you when it's my time. Bye," When he got up and went to his best friend's grave, me and Kurama stepped up having a few words to say as well.
"Mikoto-ba-chan, I wish you were still with us. I'm just glad that me and Sasuke got to say good bye. I still keep an eye on him for you. At first I couldn't handle it, but then when I found Kurama, one of the kyuubi no kitsune, can you believe it! Anyway, she, being the sly fox that she is, wormed her way into Sasuke's heart and got him to open up to people. And then I got him to stop obsessing over his brother. Well, onto the real reason I came here, I got the Rooky of the Year tidal! I hope Sasuke's not too mad. Well Kurama wanted to meet you, so I'll let her talk. Bye ba-chan." as I finished and placed my flower, I couldn't stop the tears from streaming down my face.
"Hello Mikoto-san, I'm Kurama. I wish I was lucky enough to know you, but I have to say, from what I have heard from Naruko and Sasuke, you remind me of my own mother and baby sisters. I don't know if my little sisters are alive but if they are I hope I can find them. Mom was strong, kind hearted, and most of all, the best mother I could have hoped for. If you go to the same place foxes go, please look for my mom, her name is Amaya she has bright red fur, and she's blind, but she knows a secret to visit one loved one once. And if you find her, please tell her I love her and miss her very much. Thank you. Good bye."
After that I broke down. It was just so beautiful and sad, and it gave me hope that Mikoto would visit Sasuke and give him hope. When I was done with my little outburst, we went to the Uchiha compound, got his stuff, and got the hell out of that damned creepy-ass place. We all walked in silence to my house and thanked Kami for what we have left.
(The next day no one's pov)
"Great picture Meiyo no Musume!" a photographer exclaimed while handing Naruko the picture that he just took. It was of Naruko smiling and holding a kunai in the middle of a piece sign in a new kunoichi outfit, the usual twin tails, and Kurama on her shoulders. The outfit was a black hoody with dark blue flames on the bottom that she kept unzipped unless she was on a c-rank or higher, a light blue shirt, a dark blue kunoichi skirt, black leggings, weapons pack tied to her right thigh, and a pair of black kunoichi sandals.
Naruko and Kurama left the shinobi id photo booth; they headed to her dad's tower to get her id verified.
"Good picture Naruko-chan. alright! Congrats kiddo! You are now a kunoichi of Konoha!" Minato said with pride. Naruko smiled but then she noticed the door open a crack and the sparkle of a shuriken. Then the door burst open reveling a kid not older then 8, with a stupid looking helmet on and an overly long scarf around his neck.
"Hokage-sama! Fight me for the tittle!" he shouted then ran two steps before falling on his face.
"Itee! Who set that trap?" he asked sitting up rubbing his head.
"Wow kid. Talk about stupid." Naruko said. Then the little brat stomped up to her and started talking nonsense.
"You! You set that trap!" he shouted in her face. That pissed her off. Multiple tick marks appeared on her head and she grabbed the kid by his caller.
"Stupid kid! You tripped over your own scarf! Don't go around blaming random people for your mistakes!" she shouted just as a man with sunglasses ran in the room screaming, 'Meiyo no Mago'.
'It's that brat.' he thought. The man hates her for who knows what.
"You! Unhand the Meiyo no Mago! He's the third's grandson!" he shouted. Naruko paused and looked at the man like he was stupid.
'Keh. This girl's just like the rest of them' the kid thought then said something extremely stupid.
"What? I thought you were going to hit me. Did you stop cause I'm the third's grandson?" that really pissed Naruko off. She hated it when people used tittles to make themselves seem strong.
"I COULDN'T CAIR LESS IF YOU WERE HIS GRANDDAUGHTER!" she screamed punching him in the head, "Kid you want to play the heritage game, we'll play. I'm Namikaze Uzumaki Naruko, the eldest daughter of the forth, I'm also the harries of the Uzumaki clan and the Namikaze family so I beat you in the heritage game, and just as a fair warning, my partner, Kurama, is possibly the last of the kyuubi no kitsune. Dad's the Konoha no Kiroii Senko (yellow flash), mom's the Akai Chishio no Habanero (red hot habanero) and the other kids in my class call me the Kasai Kami Shinigami (fire haired Shinigami). Don't. Piss. Me. Off." she said to the boy, dropped him, and left.
'Cool' was the only thing the kid could think.
"Sigh. Konohamaru-kun. I would appreciate it if you would not insult mu daughter. It will just earn you an early death." Minato said before the two kids left.
As Naruko and Kurama headed home, they walked past a square of tree bark on a fence.
"Kid," Naruko said as she kept walking, "if you're going to use camouflage, at least get the right sheet." at that, Konohamaru jumped out of his crappy hiding place.
"You're just as good as they say to be able to see threw my disguise!" he shouted, pointing a finger at her, "I'll let you take me on as an apprentice."
"no." she said flatly. Then Kurama hopped down and pointed a tail at the boy.
"Kit, you need to go back home and get your mom or dad to teach you how to hold a shuriken. We have training to do. I'm trying to learn a fire Jutsu so I can earn my third tail." she said and went back to her perch on Naruko.
"WOW! The fox talks! Can I please be your apprentice?"
"No."
"Please! Oyabun!"
"Oyabun?"
"Oyabun! Oyabun! Oyabun!"
"Fine gaki. But after, tell me why you tried to attack Dad."
"Deal!"
"Now before you get all pouty on me, I'm only gonna be able to do this until this Monday. But if you ever have trouble on something and I'm not on a mission, I'll be happy to help." she said with a smile.
The three went into the forest that randomly has a snack stand; witch Naruko thought was really weird.
"Alright kid. I'm going to have a shadow clone teach you wile I practice with Kurama. Don't worry, shadow clones are not like normal clones. They're solid, have a mind of their own, and they are exactly like the original. alright." the fire-haired girl stated in a way that said 'argue with me and I won't help you at all.'
"Hai, Oyabun!" Konohamaru responded with a salute.
"Oh ya, before I forget, here kid. I used to weir this when I was in the academy. It was like a good luck charm of sorts." Naruko stated as she toot of a bracelet wrapped around her bicep under her jacket and handed it to the boy. The bracelet had a black, chakra-infused cloth that adjusted itself to the wearer and a medal fox medallion that had an inscription on the tail sown into it.
"May the Will of Fire reside in you." Konohamaru read, "What does that mean?"
"Konohamaru, it means something different to every person. You have to find out what it means to you."
"What does it mean to you two?"
"Well to us, it means that you get what you want only when you work hard at it, and you are never alone. You always have a friend to help you." Kurama answered.
"Yup! Now, let's get training!"
Fox: alright! I hope you enjoyed!
Naruko: please don't forget to revue! We love to know what you think!
