Ok here's the second chapter of my new Dark Ronnin fic. Btw thanks for the reviews I think this may be my favorite story. Anyway to The darkend dragon I like the idea you had about the third bloodline, but no that's not what it is. It's a modified cannon bloodline. Tell you what though if anyone guesses it correctly I'll give you guys a little hint so everyone can figure it out since I don't intend on giving it out any time soon. Oh try to guess the other two aswell. Oh yeah and if anyone guesses all three of them right I'll give you a little surprise. Oh btw I started thinking about the pairing and while I originally thought I could get it to work I don't see it so I'm making Mei a close friend of Naruto's while I'm changing the actual pairing to Anko and an OC. So yeah go snake people And Fuck the pedophiles!

After Naruto killed Yagura he and Yugitio stayed decided to stay in Kiri for a while. They were basically herald as hero's. When questioned on what that weird jutsu he used on Yagura was Naruto outright refused to answer, saying it was one of his secrets. A few months into the rebuilding and reformation of Kiri, Mei was elected Godaime Mizukage. Naruto and Yugito set up a base of operations in Kiri, while they weren't official members of Kiri they were welcome there and so they decided to set up a semi-permanent living arrangement in the actual village hidden in the mist. Word got out about the Shikki Fujin not only single handedly killing the Mizukage when he transformed into his bijuu, but his entire army aswell. Most villages were in an uproar as such a thing had not happened since the last ninja world war where the Yondaime Hokage single handedly massacred Iwa's entire army with his Hiraishin no jutsu. Considering the Fujin was a ronnin most started seeking him out hoping to get him to join their respective villages.
Konoha council chambers
"We are gathered here to converse about this... Fujin character." said Minato Senju, the Yondaime Hokage.
"Yes he has become a very powerful player in recent years." said Homaru.
"So what information do we have on him exactly?" Shikaku asked.
"Nothing, absolutely nothing besides the basic bingo book description. And even that is outdated now." Minato said throwing a bingo book onto the middle of the table. It was opened to the Fujin's page.

"Well I guess it's a good thing I'm back ne?" said the perv as he hopped in through a window. Minato smiled.

Everyone was dumbfounded after reading the new entry. The only reason they were the most powerful nation was because Minato was the only SS class shinobi...until now that is. It was Danzo that spoke up.
"We must find this Fujin and convince him to join Konoha before he joins someone else." everyone got out of their stupor and nodded their heads in agreement. Except Minato.
"There's just one problem with that Danzo."
"And what might that be?" Minato sighed. This was was not going to go over well.
"We've actually tried to hire him before." This piqued most people present intrest. Minato continued.
"The thing is he outright igonores and denies our requests no matter how much we offer him. It's like he has some personal grude against us." Everyone thought for a moment before Jiraiya spoke up.
"Well even if he does have a grudge against Konoha, if we meet up with him maybe we can find out what it is and make peace with him." The council men and women all agreed that sense they were dealing with one of the most dangerous men alive this was probably the best option.
"Well if that's all this meeting is ajourned."
At the Senju compound
After the meeting Jiraiya and Minato decided to head home to their family compound.
"Kushi-chan I'm home!"
"I'm here to Hime!" Two women came out of the next room over. Both were rather short and had bodies most women would kill for. One was around 5'4 with waist length blond hair done in low pigtails. She had honey brown eyes and a pale skin complexion. She also had rather large...assets.
She was wearing her usual outfit of a kimino shirt under a green jacket with the kanji for gamble on the back. The other was slightly taller than the first at 5'5 with knee length blood red hair that fell loosly around her. She had exotic bright violet eyes and was also fair skinned. The redhead was also rather gifted in her chest region. She was wearing a white t-shirt and a black skirt. These women were the matriarchs of the Senju and Uzumaki clans respectively. Tsunade Senju and Kushina Uzumaki, they were also the wives of Jiriaya and Minato, aswell as the mother and grandmother of Minato and kushina's daughter Nayumi Uzumaki Senju.
"Hey boys so how'd the meeting go?" Kushina asked as she sat down on the couch next to Tsunade. Minato sighed.
"Looks like the rumors are true." he said throwing the girls the new Iwa bingo book. Their eyes grew wide as they read it. After they were done Tsunade had a thought.
"Who's this Makai Neko?" Both men blinked. They were so caught up in trying to think of what to do about the fujin that they didn't even bother to check out the hellcat's page.
"We don't know." Jiriaya said. Kushina turned to her page and read it outloud.

They were all mildly surprised by the fact that someone like this managed to slip under their rader, especially when she was travelling around with the Fujin. Just then an ANBU shunshined down and handed the hokage a sealed message. Opening it he read it with interest after seeing it was from Kiri.
"Hey Kaa-chan, Tou-san, how'ed you like to go to Kiri?" their eyes widened.
"Why would we go to Kiri?" asked Jiraiya.
"Because the new Mizukage is requesting an alliance and we can dig around for info on the Fujin." A few nods of understanding later and it was decided that they would leave in two days.
A few days later in Kiri
"Nee-san don't bee so mean nya!" Yugito was currently trying to get her freshly cooked salmon from Naruto. He was holding it above her head, and due to the fact that he had actually hit a growth spurt since he killed yagura he was about 6'1. So he was about a foot taller than Yugito.
"Not until you say it." He said smirking. They were in their own seal protected house so they had their masks off. Yugito huffed, crossed her arms, pouted, and mumbled something under her breath.
"I didn't quite catch that imouto."
"I SAID I'M A FREAKIN LITTER SNORTER OK!" Naruto laughed so hard he dropped the fish which the younger blond caught and sent a death glare at her older brother.
"You know your going to pay for this right?" Naruto looked up at her, still laughing.
"I-it was w-w-worth it!" he laughed out. She stomped in frustration before storming off. Naruto finally calmed down and stood up.
'Hm what should I do today?' he thought. He snapped his fingers.
"I know, I'll get that date Mei owes me." He said while rubbing his hands together evily.
At the Mizukage's office
Mei Terumi currently in a meeting with the Yondaime Hokage and his advisors/bodyguard/parents, Jiraiya and Tsunade of the Sannin.
"So what exactly are the terms to the alliance you requested Mizukage-dono?"
"Well I was hoping we could get some supplys and support and in return we'd could give you some high level Suiton jutsu." Minato considered for a moment.
"Fair enough, I can agree to that, but what about the actual alliance?"
"What do you have in mind?" Minato though for a moment. He usually didn't do stuff like what he was about to but he had to do what he thought was best for Konoha. And having more bloodlines is always good.
"How about a marrige agreement?" Mei narrowed her eyes.
"With whom Hokage-dono?"
"Between our last Uchiha and yourself of course." Mei's eyes widened. Everyone had heard of the uchiha massacre last year, but to think he would suggest this. She had to find a way out of this fast. Luckily her favorite blond decided to provide such an oppurtunity.
"I'm sorry but you can't go in there." Everyone heard the secratary say.
"Does it look like I give a shit what you say?" They heard a voice say.
"HEY YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" *BAM* and with that the doors slammed open and all of the Konoha shinobi got into a fighting stance while Mei massaged her temples.
"Do you always have to break the damn door?" She asked. The Konoha ninja looked confused before the stranger spoke up.
"Heh what can I say Neko's habit of destroying stuff rubbed off on me." The Hokage and Sannin's eyes widened at the mention of Neko and looked the stranger over. What they saw shocked them. He was about 4 inches shorter than Jiraiya and an inch shorter than Minato. He had unruly spikey blond hair and icey blue eyes that were a several shades lighter than Minato's. He looked to about 15 and he carried himself like an experienced shinobi despite his obvious youth. He wore a pair of black cargo pants tucked into unlaced boots with the strings shoved into the bottom. He had on a light blue musle shirt which, despite his arms being wrapped in bandages from the shoulder down to his hands which had fingerless gloves on them, showed off his obvious muscularity. To finish the look he had on a black facemask with a skull teeth pattern that had elongated canines.
'It can't be him can it?' The hokage thought. Just then Mei had a devious thought.
"I'm sorry Hokage-dono but I can't accept your marrige contract do to the fact that my boyfriend is in the doorway." They all looked at her like she grew a second head.
'Did she just say the Fujin is her boyfriend?' thought Tsunade and Jiraiya while Minato was thinking of how to use this. Naruto on the other hand was glaring at the Hokage as if he was hoping his gaze would set him aflame. After a few minutes Minato noticed the glare and decided to find out as much as he could about the guy.
"So would you by chance happen to be the famed Shikki Fujin?" With a more intense glare that actually made Minato flinch he answered.
"Yes, now what do you want treehugger?" Tsunade and Jiraiya tensed at the racial slur for people from Konoha, but Minato just became more curious.
"Do you have something against Konoha Fujin-san?"
"As a matter of fact I do teme."
"Could you by chance tell us?"
"It's you assoles that ruined my friends life." Everyone's, eyes widened at what he just said.
"Who might this friend of yours be Fujin-san?" It was obvious to everyone he was treading in thin water, and a fight between the only two living SS rank shinobi wouldn't be good for anyone. Naruto stared at him for a few seconds before answering.
"Naruto, Naruto Senju Uzumaki." Minato jumped out of his seat.
"How the hell do you know that name?!" He demanded. Naruto glared at him.
"Not that it's any of your buisness but he was my first student."
"He was your what?"
"Don't play stupid with me, you know that Neko is my student. Naruto was my student before her. He was a good kid, reminded me of myself." Minato looked at him. Mei was confused as to who they were talking about and Tsunade and Jiraiya were listening intently.
"What happened to him?" The Hokage asked
"He died on a job, but not before he told me all about what happened to him." Jiraiya let his curiosity get the better of him.
"What do you mean what happened to him? We all thought he was dead." Naruto looked at him curiously.
"What the Hell are you talking about, he told me that you all disowned him so he left." All three Konoha nin looked shocked.
"We'd never do that. H-he just left, we were going to help him with his disability and he just left." The blond kage said shocked at what he heard. Naruto on the other hand was deep in thought.
'What the hell? Did someone fuck with their memories? No. Are they lying to cover themselves? They must be it's the only explanation. But they don't look like they're lieing.' Mei was also deep in thought.
'Who's this Naruto they're talking about. As far as I know the only person that's a Senju Uzumaki by blood is the Hokage's daughter. So who is this guy?'
"If you don't mind me asking Hokage-dono who is this Naruto you all are talking about?" Minato looked at her and sighed.
"He is-was my eldest child and only son."
"You had a son?" Mei questioned.
"Yeah until an accident when he was nine. Well Enough of this if you can't take the marrige contract then we'll just sign a regular standard alliance Mizukage-dono." Mei nodded. After the signing the Konoha shinobi got up and left in a depressed mood. Mei turned to Naruto after they left.
"So what did you need?"
"Well I was going to cash in on that date but seeing them has got me all worked up so if you could give me an A or S-rank mission I'd appreciate it." Mei looked down that she had to wait longer for their date, but understood. She looked through the pile of missions.
"Well considering we're still recovering from the war we don't have many high rank missions, but there is this one S-rank."
"What is it?"
"A small town inbetween Konoha and Kiri is being assaulted by a group of monstrous demons that live in the mountains nearby." Naruto took the file from her.
"Ok I'll take it, if Neko asks where I am tell her that I saw the bastard. She'll know what it means." Mei nodded and Naruto jumped out the window to go to his and Yugito's house to get his gear.
"Can't he ever use the door without breaking it?" The redhead asked no one imparticular as she looked at the wooden fragments on the floor.
On the way to the town
Naruto was now wearing his flak jacket and traveling cloak and had his boots laced up. He was heading to a small mining community on the border of Hi no kuni and Mizu no kuni. The report had said that a group of about 3 or 4 demonic creatures were attacking it nightly and whenever anyone went up into the mountains. Naruto was about halfway there when night hit, so he decided to make camp for the night. Being the paranoid bastard he is, Naruto set up a perimeter around a 20 square foot area with a barrier seal that only a level 9 or above seal master could break. He had gotten through level nine and was starting level ten in the months after Yagura's death. He found an old log and set it up as a makeshift seat. After that he got together some fire wood and started a fire infront of his makeshift seat. Sighing he sat and pulled down his mask. He pulled out a pack of smokes and a lighter. He lit one up and took a puff.
"What the hell was up with the bastard? He acted like he didn't disown me." He looked at his right arm and started to get mad. He stood up and took out his anger by shoving a wind covered fist through a nearby tree.
"He was full of shit. He had to be." A few hours later the blond decide to go to sleep.
Naruto's dream
Naruto was currently in his room in his old house back in Konoha. He was 8 years old again and today was his baby sisters birthday. Naruto had never really had much special attention growing up. It was true that he was the heir of the Senju and Uzumaki clans aswell as the only son of the Hokage, but he didn't get special attention for it. He was treated the same as everyone else and that's the way he liked it. But when Nayumi was born everything changed. His family started paying more attention to her and less to him. He didn't really care, I mean sure it was a little sad at times but he loved his baby sister to much to be mad or blame her. Hell she's the one that he put on his knee when she was born and promised to always protect her like a big brother should. Naruto got off his bed and walked over towards his closet and got a gift he had been hiding out of it. Nayumi was turning 2 so he couldn't really give much to her, so he was giving her a toy set of spring kunai. He set the gift on his study desk and jumped out the window to go meet his friends at the academy training grounds. When he got there he took them all in. First there was Hayate Gecko. He was average in the height department and had a slim frame. He had scraggily brown hair he kept under a bandanna and was constanly coughing due to a disease he had contracted at a young age. Next was Genma Shiranui. He was taller than Hayate but shorter than Naruto and had shoulder length brown hair. He had a more muscular frame than Hayate and also had a bandanna on, but his was turned backwards. He was forevermore chewing on a senbon. After him was Yugao Uzuki. She was a girl of average height with waist length purple hair and a lithe body frame. She was cleaning her tanto obsessivly. Next came Kurenai Yuhi. She was the shortest one there and had black hair that went to her shoulders. She also had exotic looking red eyes. She was obsessed with genjutsu. Second to last was Hana Inazuka. She was the same height and frame as Yugao and had a tight brown ponytail that went to her midback with two strands framing her face. She had a red fang mark under each cheek and her ninken, the Haimaru brothers, were at her feet. She had a thing for alphas. Finally there was Anko Mitarashi, the Granddaughter of Orochimaru of the Sannin. She had shoulder length purple hair that she kept put up in a fanlike pattern and unique brown pupiless eyes. She was taller than the other girls since she was the same height as Hayate and had a tight muscular frame similar to Naruto. She had a weird fetish for blood that freaked most people out. All in all they were a weird group of friends, which is probably why they got along so well.
"Hey guys, so what're we doing?" Genma turned to Naruto.
"Well blood sucker over there wanted to spar with someone but we all refused since your the only one who can actually take her."
"I AM NOT A BLOODSUCKER DAMNNIT!" Raged the future snake summoner.
"Well then what are you?" Asked Hana as she pet her pups. Anko smirked.
"I am a blood connoisseur."
"More like addict." Yugao said without looking up from her tanto.
"Screw you purple girl!"
"You do realize you have purple hair aswell?" Asked a humored Kurenai. Anko spluttered something incoherant.
"Alright *cough* shut up and fight already *cough* before Anko slits our throats to satisfy her fetish *cough*." Anko glared at her sickly friend before giving her trademark smile that struck fear in even her normally stoic grandfather.
"Wanna say that again ?" Naruto decided to intervene before his best friend killed his other friend.(A.N. Anko is Naruto's best friend at this point)
"Ok vamp calm down, you can take out your anger in our fight." The blond said with a smirk. Anko turned to glare at him for the vampire remark and Hayate breathed in relief.
"Ok blondie come at me." Naruto Charged her and went in for a right hook. Anko blocked it with her left forearm and brought up her knee up to his chest. The blond got knocked back a few feet from the hit, but rebounded fast and did a forward handspring aiming to drop kick his purple haired friend. She saw intentions and aimed a punch to his crotch in midair. Naruto balled up so she hit his shin and sprang his feet out kicking her in the shoulder. Anko grunted and went to slam her fist in his gut, but Naruto caught it threw his own, which Anko caught aswell. They then headbutted each other while smiling.
"Your getting better blondie."
"You to vamp." Naruto brought up his knee and hit Anko in gut. She let out a gasp of air and the blond took advantage of it to grab her left arm. He twisted it around her back and held her a few inches off the ground.
"You wanna give bloodsucker?"
"No, but how about you give?" She said as she backflipped over him and caught him around the throat with her right arm . Naruto smirked and stomped on her foot which casued her to loosen her grip when she flinched. Using the oppurtunity, he sweep kicked Anko off her feet and pin her on the ground.
"I believe I won this round." The purplette stuck her tounge out at him and took his hand to help her up.
"I belive that brings the grand total to 49-45 in Naruto's favor." Said Hana with a shit eating grin as her blood crazy friend scowled. Naruto laughed as he watched the two girls argue over how it was a fluke that Anko lost.
The next morning
Naruto got up and looked at the cinders in the fire.
'Why the hell did I dream of my old friends?' Shrugging it off he got up and put his mask back up. He lowered the barrier and headed towards the town. When he got there the first thing he noticed was that pretty much all the shops were closed and next to no one was outside. He quickly found the town hall and knocked on the door. He saw someone peek through the shutters.
"Who are you?" The person demanded. Naruto raised the mission file.
"I'm the shinobi taking your mission." The persons eyes widened before they let go of the shutters and unlocked the door. Naruto walked in and was suprised to see that there was a makeshift hospital in the town hall. He saw an old man in a suit that he assumed was the mayor walking towards him.
"Ah so are you all that was sent, I believe the request was for a full team?" Naruto shook his head.
"No there aren't any others but I assure you I'm more than enough." The old mans eyes narrowed.
"Well what rank are you son?"
"I don't have an official rank such as gennin, chunin, or jonin as I am a ronnin." The old man nodded in understanding.
"Well then if what you say is true then how do we know your worth paying?" Naruto a bino book out of his flak jacket's pocket and threw to the old man.
"Page 104." The old man Curiously turned to said page and read it. When he looked at the picture he gasped and looked back up to Naruto.
"Is this really you?" Naruto nodded. The man let a smile on his face.
"Well then I think our problems are over, though I hope you do realize we can't afford to pay anymore than what we listed in the mission request." Naruto eye smiled, it was something he had perfect with years of practice.
"Keep the money, I don't need it and to be honest the only reason I'm doing this mission is because I need to get some shit off my mind." The mayor stuttered a little in shock. Here was this SS-rank shinobi that was offering his town his services for free. FOR FREE!
"Well I thank you young man." Naruto just waved him off.
"Well lets get down to buisness, I assume your the mayor?"
"You assume correct." The old man said as he and Naruto sat down at a nearby table.
"Well then can you give me a briefing on the situation? The request was kinda vauge, all I know is that your town is being attacked by some kind of demonic creatures that live in the mountains." The man nodded and started explaining their predicament. Evidently this had been going on for around 8 months now. It started with a few isolated events here and there but escalated into all out attacks on the miners on there way to and from the mountain mines. Eventually the demons started growing bold and came into town. They would kill a few people and head back up into the mountains. The thing was they were only active at night. From what the mayor said there were 3 in total. One was around 8 feet tall with huge muscles. It looked like a cross between a human and a crocodile. The second was about 6'4 and was lithe due to the fact it was like a cross between a human and a panther. The last one was a 5'10 human wolf hybrid. After getting all the info Naruto decided to head to the demons lair and headed for the mountains. A few hours into his hiking he started noticing odd things. Like he found a campsite that had been hidden in the most half-assed way he had ever seen. There were strange footprints in wore down paths that more or less signaled that these trails were being used by the demons. About half way up the mountain he decided to make camp. When night hit he started looking for signs of the supposed demons. The blond didn't find any signs for several hours. But then he heard a snap of a twig. Using his sensor skills he picked out three chakra signals. They were all around the level of a rookie jonin, but they were laced with a foul evil chakra. It was purple and felt almost snakelike in origin.
"You three can come out now." The blond ronnin said calmly. When the three came out he noticed that they met their descriptions fairly well.
"So are you three the supposed demons that are terrorizing that town below the mountain?" The croc hybrid growled and ran at Naruto. The reptile raised his fist to puch him, but the blond just sidestepped it. The fist made a large crater where it hit. Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Nice punch." The croc-man growled again before crouching on his haunches and jumping towards Naruto. Our pale haired protaganist just caught the scaley bastard by the throat and slammed him down, creating an even larger crater than the first. The reptile hybrid groaned in pain. The other two 'demons' watched in a mixture of horror and shock as Naruto lifted his foot up and brought it down on the croc-man's head, sending blood and brains everywhere. Naruto turned to look at the other two and smirked under his mask.
"Ok, who's next?" The panther like creature growled and ran on all fours at the blond. When it got close it reared back it's claw to make a swipe. Naruto caught it's arm at the elbow joint and ripped it off. The cat-hybrid looked at it's arm before screaming in pain. The ronnin created a black wind blade in his right hand and shoved it into the panther creature's heart. The cat-man coughed up some black blood before falling over, dead.
"And then there was one." The wolf creature, which actually looked female, started sniveling after watching the mystery man kill both of her companions. Naruto looked at the 'demon' curiously.
"Your not really a demon are you?" The wolf shook it's head.
"Can you talk?"
"Yes." The wolf-girl said in a girly voice.
"Ok, can you tell me why you killed those people?"
"I didn't, it was Nijo and Tumi. I just kept watch." Naruto nodded.
"Ok now can you tell me why your like this?" The wolf-girl hesitated.
"Do you know about Orochimaru of the Sannin?" Naruto's eyes narrowed.
"Yes I've had the unfortunate... pleasure of meeting the hebi-teme a few times."
"Well this is the result of one of his curse marks." Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Go on." She nodded.
"He used to have a base in the mountains here before he abandoned it. The only people in there were me, Nijo, and Tumi. When we got out I had nowhere to go, so I stayed with them. They were mentally unstable and actually enjoyed killing, which is why they would attack the townspeople." Naruto thought for a moment before an idea came to him.
"Can you show me your curse mark?" The dog-hybrid nodded and pulled some fur around her shoulder, which revealed a stange pentagram like design. Naruto studied it for a moment, his Uzumaki blood kicking into overdrive. He deduced the inner working of the seal in a matter of moments.
"What's your name?"
"Hikarai." The girl said.
"Well Hikarai I'm not gonna lie, this is gonna hurt a lot. But I'm gonna remove your seal OK?" Hikarai was shocked at what he just said so she nodded dumbly. Naruto started unraveling the bandages on his left arm. When they came off it revealed a strange and intricate pattern of constantly morphing seals that covered his entire arm from the shoulder to the wrist. He pumped some chakra into his arm and the seal morphed into a particular pattern and stayed while pulsing black and blue.
"Ok here it comes." He said before he slammed his hand onto the curse mark. Hikarai screamed in pain as the seals transferred from Naruto's arm to her shoulder and were absorbed by the curse mark. A few agonizing moments later the seals receded back onto Naruto's arm, where they started morphing again. Hikarai's form had changed. She was now a young girl of about 14 years of age, with waist length black hair that had a bluish tint to it. She was now shorter by a few inches but kept her petite and muscular build. Her eyes were now a bright red. She had high C-cup breasts and a firm ass. Did I mention she's butt ass naked? The blond got rubbed a nose bleed into his mask to keep from choking on the blood and pulled a spair set of Yugito's clothes from A scroll he had on him. Hikarai got dressed in them as he turned around.
"Thanks." She said blushing.
"Your welcome." Hikarai nodded before she noticed something.
"You never told me your name." Naruto looked at her.
"And I won't unless you earn my trust, but you can call me Fujin." She nodded in understanding.
"Hey Hikarai, can you show me where this base of Orochimaru's is?"
"I guess so, but why do you want to go there?"
"He has had dealings with a man I want dead and I'm hoping to find a lead on the bastard."
"Makes since I guess." She lead Naruto further up into the mountains in silence. When they got there Naruto jsut kicked the door open. Hikarai looked at him weirdly.
"You know it was unlocked right?"
"Yes I did."
"Then why did you do that?" Naruto glared at pieces of the door.
"I have a vaste hatred of doors in general."
"Has anyone ever told you that your weird?"
"Yeah, my imouto frequently tells me that." The ravenette cocked her head to the side in a cute way.
"You have a sister?"
"Yeah, she's annoying at times but I love her." He said as he walked into the base. Hikarai shook her head before following. After exploring for a few minutes they found a room with several reports. Naruto looked through until he found what he was looking for. After reading through it he slammed a fist onto a nearby table in anger.
"So the hebi-teme gave that damn cripple my Great-great grandfathers cells in his arm eh. Just another reason to kill him." Naruto was about to leave when he saw another two files that caught his attention. One was on Hikarai, but the other was the one that caused his eyes to widen. He picked it up and read it. When he finished his eyes flashed into red slits in anger. He grabbed Hikarai's file and left. The next morning Naruto and his new companion went down to report that the 'demons' had been dealt with before leaving. On the way back to Kiri Naruto decided to ask what was bothering him.
"Ok why are you following me?" Hikarai rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.
"Well I don't have anywhere else to go and you were nice to me, so I was kinda hoping I could go with you and maybe learn from you, like a student." Naruto thought about it for a second. He had never thought about taking on a second apprentice. Hell Yugito was more than enough for him.
"Well tell you what I already have an apprentice in my imouto, but when we get back we're leaving since we are ronnin. If she decided that you'd be a good addition to our fucked up little family you can come and I'll teach you also, deal?" Hikarai smiled and nodded.
"Deal." A few minutes later the ravenette asked the question that had been bothering her.
"What was in that file you had earlier?" Naruto sighed. and handed her the file.
"Oh yeah I rember that girl, she was the original prototype for the curse marks. I think her curse mark was based around bijuu yokai." Naruto perked up at that but returned to his normal lazy but alert posture almost instantly. The ravenette continued talking.
"So what exactly made you so mad about her?" Naruto looked at his right arm in a daze.
"She was my best friend before I became a ronnin." Hikarai was now curious.
"What was her name?" (A.N. the files only have numbers and pictures on them)
"Anko, Anko Mitarashi. She's the hebi-teme's only granddaughter."
Well there you go hope some people are happy about the pairing change. Next chapter we get to know Hikarai a little better and yes she is the OC. Anyway Hikarai has a bloodline aswell. It just so happens that Naruto has the same bloodline. *wink wink nudge nudge* So yeah next chapter is more training and traveling. You'll also get a little more about Nayumi and her family. There will be 2 timeskips next chapter as it's the last one before cannon starts. Again my little challenge from above applys until the next chapter is realesed. Anyone guesses all three of Naruto's bloodlines correctly and I'll give you a little surprise next chapter. Well that's all so until next time Ja Ne!
