Hello again guys, this is the chapter that I had been really looking forward to write, firstly because I get to show a cool new jutsu that Naruko and Natsune will be able to use, and secondly because I have chosen the OC that will be used in this story, and they will appear later on. And I will say this now, I received some great submissions, so don't feel down, it was a hard decision, but something about the one I chose gave my creative mind a boost. I hope you don't stop reading this story now ( _ ; )
Also, I will add Naruko and Natsune's character files at the bottom of this page, in case any of you were interested, and also the OC's.
But without further adiue, here's the chapter.
"Hey, Naruko, get up!"
"Natsune?" Naruko shuffled in her bed, stifling a yawn as she stretched her arms out.
However, she did not expect one of her hands to meet something firm yet malleable as well. She opened an eye to find Natsune on her hands and knees above her, and her left hand groping Natsune's right breast, while the red-head just smirked.
"Well, you're daring this morning Naruko."
Quickly retracting her hand, Naruko blushed and blurted out a hasty apology, but stopped when she noticed a change about her foxy twin. "Ah! The change suits you, Natsune."
Natsune's style had changed, but only slightly. Instead of the bangs of hair either side of her head, she had a fringe that swept slightly over right eye. Her clothes were basically the same, except the colours were switched and she had fishnet shorts running out below her black and orange ones, that ended above her knees.
"Thanks I guess, but let's continue." With that, Natsune moved to lick Naruko's chin-line, only for Naruko to grip the side of her head and throw her off the bed, Natsune shouting in pain when she hit the floor.
Normally she wouldn't have been able to do so, since the incident with Mizuki two days prior of today, Natsune had given Naruko a quick crash course in the basics of taijutsu, so she had learned how to control her momentum and gained a little strength.
"It seems being in a kid's body has also made you more childlike...I'm going back to sleep." Naruko told the crazy girl as she pulled the covers over her head.
Natsune's head popped up from the side of the bed, flailing her arms. "Wait, you can't! We have to be at the academy in half an hour for the Genin team selections!"
At hearing this Naruko shoved the covers away from her face and looked straight at Natsune. "You woke me up early for once!?"
"Well it's not like we can miss this, is it!?"
"Oh yeah, good point."
"Whatever, now get ready!" Natsune ordered her former jailer, tipping the bed so that the blonde rolled out and onto the floor.
Picking herself up, Naruko ran to the bathroom. "Yes ma'am!"
It was nearly half nine in the morning now, the scheduled time for the Genin team selections, and most of the new Genin had arrived, including Sasuke and Ino, who sat by each other at one of the desks. While everyone around them chatting ecstatically about who they would like on their team, the two were just sat in silence, until Sasuke broke it.
"You know, this class doesn't seem the same without Naruko in it, somewhat."
It was clear that the lack of Naruko was affecting both of them, and a sad smile grew on Ino's face.
"Yeah, but she'd probably be late anyway."
At the exact moment after those words escaped her lips, the door to the classroom was slammed open, and two girls barged into the room, one of which was Naruko, the other a red-head that looked just like her, but whom they had never seen before. The whole class stopped at the sudden intrusion of the room, and Sasuke and Ino stared at Naruko, jaws dropped.
Naruko thrust her right fist into the hair. "On time!" She turned to the unknown red haired girl next to her and grabbed her by the shoulders, shaking her back and forth, much the her protests. "We made it!"
"Naruko made it on time!?" Sasuke yelled.
"Naruko's even here!?" Ino followed up with a cry just as loud.
Naruko stopped shaking the other girl and turned to where she heard her friends' voices and waved. "Sasuke-san! Ino-chan!"
Sasuke facefaulted at the '-san' suffix, Ino just kept her amazed look as Naruko and the other girl headed towards them.
Finally breaking out of her stupor, Ino asked the question that the whole class was wondering. "Naruko, why are you here? Only graduates are meant to be here. And who's this girl? She looks just like you." She added at the end, pointing at the red-head.
"Well, through some haphazard way which, to be honest, I don't fully understand, me and Natsune were promoted to Genin. This is Natsune by the way." She indicated to Natsune after explaining why they were here, who just gave a grin and a small wave.
"I didn't really follow that, but I'm just glad you're here!" Ino threw a friendly arm around Naruko.
"Who is Natsune exactly?" Sasuke inquired, eyeing the girl. "I've never seen her around here."
"Well you see..." Naruko paused, giving Natsune a side glance, to which she replied with a shrug. "Aaaahhh... She~'s my transfer student cousin from another place?"
Both Ino and Sasuke looked at her blankly, making Naruko sweat slightly, while Natsune coughed to hold back a laugh. Eventually their looks subsided.
"Ok whatever." Sasuke said. "I'm sure she's not dangerous."
Naruko stiffened. "Ah, yeah..."
Natsune pushed past Naruko and moved towards Sasuke, their faces almost touching. "You're cuter in person, Sasuke-chan."
Sasuke held back a small blush and look past the red-head and at Naruko. "You told her about me?.."
Naruko began to sweat again. "Ah...pff...well, erm... you may have come up once or twice?"
"Right..."
Before anything else could be said, Iruka walked through the door.
"Alright guys! Settle down and keep quiet!" The scarred man shouted to the class, clapping his hands, gaining most of the class' attention, and the others just followed suit when they saw people move.
Naruko sat down at the same desk Ino and Sasuke were sat at, with the two either side of her, and Natsune behind her, who was scaring the Genin next to her.
Iruka clapped his hands once more. "Ok, starting today all of you are real shinobi, but, you are still Genin. Your long winded journey has only just begun. From now on, you complete real shinobi missions to help the village, so today you will all be placed in three man teams, each with a Jounin sensei. Follow their orders to complete your missions successfully." He pulled a clipboard hold some sheets from behind his back. "I will now read out the teams. Don't be surprised if you end up in a different team to your friends. They have been chosen in a way that would benefit each team." This received many unhappy cries and whines.
Naruko turned round to Natsune as Iruka started reading out the names for each team, a happy smile on her face. "We're guaranteed to be on the same team because of what the old man said!"
Natsune grinned and nodded in reply.
Naruko then turned to Sasuke. "Ne, Sasuke. Do you think we'll be on the same team?"
The raven haired boy leaned back and shrugged. "Who knows. As Iruka-sensei said, we can't get our hopes up."
"You're such a downer..." Naruko told him with a flat voice.
"... Team Seven: Naruko Uzumaki, Natsune Kurama, Sasuke Uchiha-"
Naruko shot from her seat in glee as she punched the air. "Yes! I'm with Sasuke and Natsune!"
She began a small victory dance while waving two small flags that appeared out of nowhere in her hand.
Natsune also showed a reaction, leaping into a sitting position on Sasuke's shoulders and holding his head, pressing her small but noticable chest into the back of his head, causing a small trail of blood to run from his nose. "Hey, we're on the same team cutey."
She ignored the glares from the fangirls.
Iruka cleared his throat to get the girls', and their new teammate's, attention. "I hadn't finished Naruko, your team will have four Genin in it."
"Eeh, why's that?" Naruko asked.
"This is due to the new face that suddenly appeared..."
All eyes swivelled to Natsune, who gave everyone the peace sign while giving a confident smirk, still sitting on Sasuke's shoulders.
Iruka shook his head. "Anyway, the final Genin in Team Seven is Kuro Tsukuba."
"Oh? Kuro-chan?" Naruko looked around the class, looking for the the girl she knew only slightly, catching her pitch black eyes on the other side of the room. Kuro was a short and skinny girl, with pitch black irises and a pale complexion, marred by a black burn scar on the right side of her face, which also seemed to run the entire right side of her body, long white hair that, as Naruko last recalled, reached her knees, and was tied by a bow a few inches from the bottom. She had a messy fringe that reached her nose. Her physical shape matched that of a lolita. Kuro gave Naruko a short wave, a blank, if not marginally stern look on her face.
As Naruko returned to facing the front, Ino hugged her from the side. "Naru-cha~n I'm not on your team~..." She cried.
"It's ok Ino. I'm sure your team will be just as good." Naruko said, trying to comfort the platinum blonde, patting her on the back.
Ino sniffed, and retracted from Naruko. "I guess you could be right, as long as I'm not with my dad's friends' sons, lardy and lazy."
"... Team Ten: Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara and Chouji Akamichi."
"Pfft. What was that you said?" Natsune said patronisingly from atop Sasuke, as Ino slammed her head into the desk, cursing her life.
"Ah, Ino-chan!" Naruko proceeded to fuss over her female friend until all the teams were read out.
"Right!" Iruka placed the clipboard on the desk behind him. "There'll be a fifteen minute interval. Come back after that to meet your Jounin sensei."
Kakashi Hatake, a man dressed in standard shinobi gear and a Jounin vest, with a mask over his face and his hitae-ate slanted on his head, covering his left eye, was walking away from the Hokage tower, recalling his one-to-one meeting with the Hokage he'd turned up late to. He'd had to save a black cat from a tree then walk in the opposite direction from it, which happened to be away from the place he was meant to be, and then he had to help an old lady across the street.
Of course, the Old kage poo-pooed his excuses. Kakash never understood why everyone thought he was lying. He was just a kind and superstitious person.
Setting that thought aside, he though back to what they discussed.
*Flashbackish*
"Kakashi," the Hokage stood from his desk and faced the window, "I understand that you are not eager to take a Genin squad, but I can only say that you are the only one I can trust. There's someone extremely capable within that team."
Kakashi nodded lazily. "I know, the Uchiha, right?"
"Wrong."
This caught Kakashi's attention. "Then who?"
The Hokage turned to face him. "The Kyuubi."
Kakashi frowned. "Hokage-sama I thought you yourself disapproved of called Naruko that."
"No. I am talking about Naruko. Naruko may hold some of Kyuubi's chakra, but she holds the Kyuubi no longer. The Kyuubi is free, and also your pupil."
*End flashback*
Kakashi thought to what the Hokage told him after that.
'I assure you, Kakashi, she is no longer a threat to Konoha.'
Kakashi frowned as he reached the academy building. What could he mean?
"What the hell's taking this guy so long! It's nearly lunch!" Naruko growled out as she paced back and forth along the floor of the classroom.
When all the Genin had returned from their break, the Jounin senseis had all turned up to take their team away. All except for Team Seven's sensei.
"I'm sure he has a reason for being late." Sasuke told the angered girl, trying to calm her.
"To be honest, I doubt he does..." Natsune said as she sat beside him leaning on one hand while picking at her teeth with her other.
Kuro remained quiet, sitting on the teachers desk, following Naruko around the room with her eyes, wearing the same face as before. She was wearing a red V neck T-shirt that only had an hollow, black outlined circle on the chest, black shorts, and black, slightly high-heeled shinobi sandals. Underneath the T-shirt she wore a fishnet long sleeved top, the sleeves disappearing into a pair of fingerless shinobi gloves similar, and the neckline visable behind the V-neck.
"Isn't there anything we can do!?" Naruko asked, throwing her arms out infront of her body. "Like, make a trap that flings kunai at his head as punishment for being late?"
"Good to know you're trying to kill me before we've even met." A sarcastic voice said from the doorway.
Naruko turned, as her back was facing the door, and the other occupants of the room looked to see who was at the door, while the smallest turned her head away when she realised who it was, wide eyed with a light blush gracing her face.
At the door was Kakashi, leaning on the side of the door. "Well seeing as that was what you were planning, my first impressions are..."
The four Genin waited in earnest.
"... I... don't like you."
The three girls and boy all facefaulted at this.
"Meet me on the roof." That was all Kakashi said before he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
"Now, why don't we start by introducing ourselves?" Kakashi suggested once everyone had gathered on the roof.
Kakashi was leaning on the railing at the edge of the building, while the Genin were sat on steps a few feet away.
"Eh?" Naruko looked confused. "In what way?"
Kakashi leaned back. "You know, simple stuff, your name, likes, dislikes, dreams, hobbies. Stuff like that."
"Can't you go first?" Naruko asked with surprising politeness.
"Sure. My name is Kakashi Hatake. I have no desire to tell you my likes and dislikes, my dreams for the future..." He paused. "... I have lots of hobbies."
Each Genin sent him an equally potent glare.
"All he told us was his name..." Grumbled Natsune.
Kakashi clapped once. "Now who'll go first? Boy with the duck butt hair."
Sasuke glared at Kakashi, and also Natsune who had laughed at the name, but shook it off. "My name is Sasuke Uchiha, I like my friends, sushi and training. I dislike it when too much soy sauce or wasabi is put on the sushi. My hobbies are training and hanging out with my friends. My dream..."
Kakashi listened intently as Sasuke paused.
"... My dream is too revive the Uchiha clan and have them lead a new lease of life."
Kakashi blinked. Not what he was expecting from the boy who had suffered the loss of his entire clan at the hands of his own brother. Recovering he looked towards Kuro. "And you?"
Kuro nodded, pulling out a large notepad out of seemingly nowhere and began to write intently on it. After about a minute of writing, and everyone looking at her oddly, she held the pad up at a page that was titled name. It turned out that each page was titled by one of the categories.
'Name: Kuro'
'Likes: Ice cream, chocolate milk'
Kakashi blinked again at the girls odd way of communicating. "That can't be all you like can it?"
All he received was a blank stare that seemed to look through his body, before the quiet girl looked away, hiding most of her face with her pad, also hiding the blush that was creeping on her face, while Kakashi looked on cluelessly. She lifted the paper to the reveal next page.
'Dislikes: Those who look down on me, bandits, and missing-nin'
'Hobbies: Training'
'Dreams: To be able to live in a peaceful world.'
Kakashi nodded. "Nice dream."
Kuro's blush intensified.
"Kuro-chan, why don't you speak?" Naruko asked as an added question.
'My vocal chords have been ripped.'
Everyone, even Kakashi winced slightly after reading that.
Next Kakashi turned to Naruko. "Blondy?"
Naruko growled at him. "My name is Naruko Uzumaki. I like strawberry flavoured pocky, when Iruka-sensei buys the pocky for me, and Natsune! I dislike the plain biscuit bit that you hold the pocky with because if the pocky is bad then it tastes like sawdust. I also dislike being physically weak. I don't really have a hobby. I guess it's going to become training with Natsune, and my dream is to make people recognise me as a human being and treat me with respect, and I'll do anything to achieve it!"
'Focused on her shinobi career, unlike most kunoichi of her age. Admirable.' Kakashi nodded and looked towards Natsune. "Lastly, emo fringe."
Ignoring Kakashi's evident poke at her new hairstyle, Natsune filled the categories out.
"My name is Natsune Kurama. I have few likes and dislikes, but I really like the look of fear in a human's eye. The rest of my likes and dislikes are best of not being mentioned. My hobby WAS to go on a small slaughter session every once in a while, and I have no dream."
Sasuke wore a freaked out look after he heard that, and Kakashi frowned once again.
'She must be the Kyuubi. Is Hokage-sama sure she's not dangerous?' Kakashi thought to himself. 'Anyway, better wrap this up.'
"Well you're definitely all... unique. I guess that's the word. That's all for today, tomorrow we start missions!"
"Really!?" Naruko said excitedly. "What kind?"
"Just something between the five of us. Survival training."
"Wha~t?" Naruko wasn't impressed, and by the looks of it, neither were her teammates, as Sasuke held an unimpressed gaze and Natsune was pretending to yawn but Kuro seemed indifferent. "We had tonnes of that training at the academy."
"Oh this isn't a normal survival exercise. In this exercise, I'm your opponent."
Kakashi paused to observe their expressions. Naruko was grinning in anticipation, Sasuke's eyes held a firm and confident look, Kuro was blushing and looking away, but Kakashi was disturbed by Natsune's reaction. A wide grin split her face, her teeth on full show as she shivered with battle-lust at the prospect of fighting a strong opponent, similar to her grin in the forest.
'Hokage-sama, are you sure she's safe?'
"And lastly," Kakashi continued, "out of the twenty-eight original Genin, only three teams will make it as real Genin, the rest are sent back to the academy. This training is an exam with a 66% failure rate."
The expressions on the young Genin's faces changed. Naruko's grin fell, the light of confidence in Sasuke's eyes dimmed, Kuro's blush disappeared, her eyes snapping back to Kakashi, eyebrows raised, and Natsune's maniacle look morphed into that of minor worry, lips pursed, a frown growing.
Kakashi stood from his slouch. "Bring all you shinobi equipment tomorrow, see you at training ground seven at 6 o'clock." He turned to head off, but paused. "Oh, and don't eat breakfast, you'll throw up. Bye!"
With that, he was gone.
There was a brief silence amongst the new team, until Kuro stood up and headed for the stairs.
"Ah, Kuro-chan, where're you going?" Naruko called after her, and the pale girl turned after writing something down on her pad that once again appeared out of nothing.
'Training'
"That doesn't seem like a bad idea." Sasuke said, standing up as well and heading for the stairs, not far behind Kuro. "I'm going to train as well."
Once the two left and were out of earshot, Natsune looked to Naruko. "So, you want to perfect that jutsu we were working on yesterday?"
Naruko nodded. "Alright!"
The next morning, Sasuke arrived at training grounds seven at exactly 6 in the morning, as he was told, and Kuro arrived not too long after. It was now nearly 9am and neither the lookalikes or Kakashi had shown up. Sasuke was sat leaning against a tree, and Kuro was sat in a high branch of the same tree. Not much conversation had been exchanged between the two except the initial greeting. They were sat by the edge of a grassy clearing, near three blocks of wood that were planted into the ground. There was a small pond at the other side of the clearing.
"I wonder who'll arrive latest, Naruko and Natsune or Kakashi-sensei..." Sasuke spoke up.
Kuro held up her pad. 'My bet is on Sensei.'
Sasuke gawked at how she once again grabbed the pad out of nowhere. "Where do you keep that!?"
'Secret'
Sasuke stared at her blankly, and she returned the same stare that she always wore, but their staring competition was interrupted by Naruko bursting onto the scene.
'I win'
Kuro's victory was ignored by Sasuke as he greeted Naruko. "Hey Naruko, you're late." Sasuke then noticed the lack of Natsune. "Where's Natsune?"
"She, er... couldn't make it." Naruko told him and Kuro, who was also listening in. "She had... stuff... to do."
*You're a horrible liar* Natsune's voice rang out in her head.
'Shut up...'
"What did she have to do that was more important than becoming a Genin?" Sasuke asked bluntly, Kuro nodding in agreement.
"Er... Really important stuff! Secret stuff!"
*Urgh...*
'Sorry~...'
Sasuke eyed her suspiciously, but before he could say anything else, Kakashi appeared in the clearing, wearing a backpack and with his hands in his pockets.
"Yo."
Naruko spun to meet him. "You're late!"
"And you're a hypocrite." The Jounin countered. "You only just arrived as well."
The blonde glared at him, but he payed no notice as he pulled an alarm clock from his backpack and setting it down on the middle wooden block and hitting the top to set it off.
'He was carrying an alarm clock...' The thought past through everyone's head as they stared at the man in disbelief.
"The alarms set for noon." He said, gaining their attention as he held up two bells. "There are two bells, your objective is to get one before time runs out. Whoever gets a bell will get lunch."
'That's why he said not to eat breakfast...' Naruko groaned in her head, and she was sure her teammates were doing the same.
"Hold on, there are three of us." Sasuke informed Kakashi, who nodded.
"Exactly, wait... three? Where's Natsune?" Kakashi questioned, looking around the clearing.
"She not here Sensei." Naruko told him, rubbing her neck. 'This is risky Natsune.'
*It'll be fi~ne!*
"Well, if she doesn't turn up soon she'll be failed." Kakashi told Naruko.
*Oh...*
"As I was saying." Kakashi continued. "Yes there are two bells which means only two of you will pass and two will fail."
*He's trying to deceive you, it's a test of teamwork.*
Silently acknowledging Natsune, Naruko looked up to Kuro, who met her gaze and nodded, seeming to also understand the real objective of the test, and in the quick moment Kakashi looked away while he hooked the bells to his waist, she threw a wad of scrunched up paper at Sasuke's head, who gave her a small glare before reading what was on the paper, and nodding at both girls in understanding.
Of course, Kakashi noticed the small exchange, and smiled to himself. "You know." He spoke up, regaining their attention. "If you do well here, I might actually start to like you guys."
This brought a smile to both Sasuke and Naruko's faces, and a large blush from Kuro, who spun a whole one-eighty on her branch so that Kakashi couldn't see it.
"And also," Kakashi added, turning his back, "you must come at me with the intent to kill, or you won't get a bell."
With that he disappeared in a cloud of smoke, causing the Genin to look around in surprise, only to turn around at the sound of Kakashi's 'Yo' and finding him standing in the middle of the clearing.
The Jounin waved. "Come at me!"
Kuro jumped from her tree and landed next to the other two young shinobi.
"So." Sasuke said. "We know the main objective is teamwork, but I'm guessing we still need to grab at least one of the bells. We need a plan."
The girls nodded, Kuro quickly scribbling something down in her pad, then showed the two.
'I'm not good at taijutsu...'
The other two facefaulted.
'But I can provide good long range support'
They perked up at that.
"So I guess Kuro can be support." Summised Sasuke. "I think I'd be best at fighting him up close as I am the best at taijutsu between me and you, Naruko."
"Actually, could I attack Kakashi-sensei from close range?" Naruko asked, fidgeting slightly.
Surprised, Sasuke asked why, to which Naruko replied, "Natsune's been helping me out with my taijutsu training, I want to test myself. Plus you have better aim than me. You'd be better with support alongside Kuro-chan."
Sasuke nodded cautiously. "Alright. I'll support from the trees."
'I'd be better near the water'
"Alright, then you support from there." Sasuke told Kuro.
"Challenge begin!" Naruko cried, punching the air, and with that, the three split off different directions.
Kakashi was still stood in the middle of the clearing, and had been for around five minutes, in which he had been observing the three (secretly four) present Genin as they talked/wrote/read about their battle plan, then jumped away to their designated spots.
'Well, they've already proven successful with the main objective. Question is, can they pull it off and get one of the bells?' The Jounin looked around. 'They're also able to hide their chakra pretty well. I'm impressed.'
"Hey, Kakashi-sensei!"
The man turned around to the voice and found Naruko stood only feet away from him. "I've been wanting to test out my taijutsu since I learned some new moves."
Kakashi sweatdropped. 'Then again.'
"You seem a little off today, Naruko." Kakashi observed, placing his hands in his pockets while slouching. "Are you hiding anything?"
Naruko flinched. 'Do you think he knows?'
*How about we find out?*
'Alright.'
"Just fight me Sensei!" The blonde yelled, charging Kakashi, swiftly closing the gal between them and raising a fist.
Sasuke looked on from his spot in the trees at the edge of the clearing to see Naruko throw her fist forward, only for it to be caught easily by their Sensei. 'Naruko I hope you know what you doing.'
Back in the 'fight', Kakashi looked down at Naruko as he grabbed her other fist with his other hand. "If you were going to use taijutsu, I expected more. It seems I may have to get bo-"
He was cut off by a fist that impacted his solar plexus, knocking the air out of him. Confused as to how he had been hit, he looked down, to find an arm sprouting from Naruko's stomach. 'What in the-'
Sasuke saw the arm from his perch in a tree, also baffled as to what was happening, until he saw a fishnet sleeve that ended at the wrist, to which he gasped. 'That's...'
"You know, Natsune." A voice rose from Naruko's body, which seemed slightly distorted, and just as Kakashi wondered what it was, a head shadowed by hair rose out of Naruko's stomach, followed by a pair of shoulders.
Red hair.
"I don't think he knows." The person that seemed to grow from Naruko looked up, revealing themselves to be Natsune, who was once again wearing that crazed grin. "Am I late, Kakashi-sensei? Let's have some fun."
Natsune sunk back into Naruko's body, her fist grabbing the cloth of the area it punched. Naruko grinned cheekily. "Got you sensei."
Kakashi's eye widened when he spotted shuriken, that appeared to be on fire, fly from the trees, forcing him to let go of Naruko's fists and knock Natsune's hand away, as he jumped back a fair distance to dodge three waves of the deadly ninja stars. He didn't have much time to recover as Naruko shot at him with newfound speed, one of her many fruits of training incessantly with Natsune over the past couple of days, and threw another punch, which Kakashi moved to block. It was too late when he realised what a bad idea it was, as two more arms sprouted from Naruko's shoulder, both Natsune's, joining the punching arm.
"Tarenken!" Naruko cried as the punches connected with Kakashi's block.
The Jounin's eye widened further as he met the unbelievable force behind the hit, being forced back even further, closer to the water. He then had to moved to his right when he sensed an projectile closing in on him from behind. He turned his head slightly to spot it, not realising how close it was to his face.
'An ice kunai?' He thought as the weapon flew past his face.
He didn't have time to dwell on it though, as he saw Naruko come at him with a kick, with two more legs coming out of her kicking leg's thigh.
"Tarenkyaku!" The blonde cried as she swung her leg in a roundhouse kick.
This time, Kakashi managed to dodge and grab the girl by her thigh, and use her momentum to throw her into the lake. However, before she hit the water, the area she was going hit froze over and rose up, acting as a ramp for her body, which slowly slid to a stop on the ice.
Kakashi looked on in interest. 'It seems that Kuro is a Hyouton user. I heard we had one in Konoha but I never believed it.'
Naruko shook her head after a small bout of dizzyness, looking to her side to see half of Kuro's head popping out of the water, and one of her hands sticking out, giving her the thumbs up, before she disappeared beneath the surface again. After sending a weird look to where Kuro had been, Naruko got up and jumped back to the land, throwing a normal punch at Kakashi, who jumped out of the way, while blocking more shuriken thrown by Sasuke.
When he landed, he was thrown back again by another 'Tarenken' from Naruko and Natsune. While in mid-air he sensed more ice kunai heading for his back, which he managed to arch his body to avoid them, but one of the bells weren't as lucky, the string they were attached to being cut by one of the three kunai thrown.
Kakashi reacted quickly, reaching down to grab it, but was forced to block a two footed 'Tarenkyaku' by Naruko, who had one hand on the ground at the time. Kakashi was sent flying back as Naruko spun on her hand, her other hand picking up the bell as it was in mid fall.
"We did it!" Naruko yelled in excitement, jumping up and down.
Sasuke emerged from the trees and went to celebrate with his blonde haired friend, Kuro turning up not soon after. Naruko stopped her jumping for a moment as, this time, Natsune's whole body split from her, freaking out Sasuke, who she winked at.
"Well done." Kakashi congratulated the four as he approached them. "You seemed to realise the true objective of this task instantly, and you teamwork was near impecable. It seems you pass. You're the first ones to pass my test." He stopped for a moment while the four celebrated. "Just one thing that intrigued me. Naruko, how was Natsune able to enter and leave you body."
"Ah well, you see. Natsune suggested we practise this ninjutsu called 'Sōma no kō' around two days ago. It let Natsune enter my body, and vice versa, but I haven't got the whole 'entering the other's body' thing, so Natsune did it. We thought we'd surprise you." Naruko explained, Natsune nodding sagely in agreement.
"Interesting. Anyway we start missions tomorrow, we'll meet at the small bridge that you crossed to get here. Other than that, see you around." Kakashi turned, but once again stopped. "Oh, and from what I said earlier, you guys are growing on me."
He poofed away, leaving three grinning faces and one blushing red one.
"Alright!" Naruko yelled. "Celebratory pocky. Sasuke's paying!"
"Wha-!? Why me!?" The boy cried in protest.
"It's traditional for human men to always treat the ladies, no?" Naruko inquired.
Kuro quietly nodded in agreement.
"Ugh, fine!"
The four, now official, Genin walked out of the clearing.
Well, there's the second chapter. Once again to the people who's OC I didn't pick, I apologise, and for Lilese, the owner of Kuro, how was it, did I portray her ok? Now, here are the character files:

About: She is a blood clone that was created by Naruko on the night Naruko stole the forbidden scroll, embodied by the nine tailed fox (fem) when the clone split from Naruko. Named haphazardly by Naruko, her excuse being it was Naruko and Kitsune combined, Natsune. The day after she was created she slightly changed her hairstyle and clothing so she looked different from Naruko. She sounds just like Naruko, except that her voice is slightly distorted when she's in a sadistic mood. Naruko is the only person she will not harm on purpose. She hates all people who caused Naruko grief, which is most of the village, and shows gratitude towards people who have helped her. She is indifferent to people who have done neither to Naruko.
Naruko and Natsune's abilities:
Extreme regeneration, can share the same body, they have a link similar to telepathy.
Shared jutsu:
Name: (Tajuu)Kage Bushin no jutsu ((multi)shadow clone jutsu)
Classification: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Allows the user to make multiple solid copies of themselves, but is very chakra extensive and usually only a few copies can be made. However, due her large chakra reserves, Naruko make hundreds if needed, and Natsune, being the embodiment of the Kyuubi, can create even more.
Name: Chi Bushin no jutsu (blood clone jutsu)
Classification: Forbidden, Supplementary
The user creates a single blood copy of themselves, cutting their chakra in half to share to the blood copy. Unlike shadow clones blood copies can take several hits before disspelling. In Naruko's case, when she first tried this jutsu from the forbidden scroll, she was low on chakra, so instead of splitting her own chakra, she transferred the chakra of the Kyuubi instead, creating Natsune's body, a permanent blood clone which can't be disspelled.
Name: Sōma no kō (Attack of the twin demons)
Classification: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Allows Natsune to hide within Naruko's body, and vice versa, where she is able to protrude any of her body parts from Naruko's body to defend her or reinforce her attack. They are able to split apart to double team their opponent. When one is injured, they move into the others body to heal faster.
Name: Tarenkyaku (Multiple connected feet)
Classification: Taijutsu, offensive
Natsune's legs sprout from Naruko's (or vice versa) and they kick the opponent, tripling the damage.
Name: Tarenken (Multiple connected fists)
Classification: Taijutsu, offensive
Natsune's arms sprout from one of Naruko's (or vice versa) and they punch the opponent, tripling the damage. This attack is strong enough to shatter solid rock.
Naruko's jutsu (knows):
Name: Kifu no jutsu (Endowment jutsu)
Classification: Henge
Similar to Naruto's sexy jutsu, except her body becomes the perfect hourglass figure, which she uses to tease or seduce people. Very effective on perverts.
Name: Suiton Teppoudama (Water Bullet)
Classification: Ninjutsu, offensive
After forming the necessary hand seals, Naruko manifests a large amount of water in her mouth which she can then spit at her opponent as a large spherical projectile.
Name: Mizu shūshuku no jutsu (Water contraction jutsu)
Classification: Ninjutsu, supplementary
The user is able to draw water out of any surrounding plant life and utilise it in their jutsu. Advanced users of this technique can draw out water from any source, including other humans.
Name: Suirou no jutsu (Water prison jutsu)
Classification: Ninjutsu, supplementary
Naruko forms the necessary hand seals which causes the water to form around the target into a spherical prison which only allows for limited movement. The ninja must keep their body touching the water prison to maintain its existence. If the contact is broken, the water falls away and their target is released. When combined with a bunshin technique, the ninja can imprison their target but still allow for a clone to attack others nearby.
