---Three weeks later, Ichiraku Ramen Bar, Nayukis POV---
"Hey Ayame!" I said
"OH, you're not henged" she said, noticing that I was a girl
"Ya… I wish I was, I've already been grabbed six this week, and what's more is that Uchiha keeps trying to 'redeem his family's name'" I said "Ten miso"
"Comin' right up" Teuchi said, he was already done with the first bowl
"What do you mean?" Ayame asked
"Remember what his clan did…" I said, and she gasped
"OH, well, I hope he can, but knowing what happened, it might be hard for him" Ayame said, then made that face that says 'OMG BRILLIANT PLAN!' "Dad, can I take a break for a moment, I want to go talk with someone, don't worry he's not close to me, he's close to Nayuki, well… sort of close I guess…"
"Go on, but don't get into trouble" Teuchi said, and Ayame ran off
What was she planning?
---Sasukes POV---
If only I knew what that idiot had done to defile our clan in her eyes, then maybe I could do something about it
"Hey, kid!" A woman called
"What do you want?" I asked, it was the woman from that ramen bar that Nayuki went to
"Nayuki said you were trying to redeem your clans name in her eyes, would you like to know what it was that made her angry with your clan?" She asked
"YES!" I said, finally, an explanation
"well, first of all you need to know this, DON'T tell her that you know, if you remind her of it, she might go into shock" the woman said, and I nodded "When Nayuki was young, she had a brother, she was the brains and control, he was the strength and power, they were inseparable. Anyway, they found a way to 'fuse'. When they were like this, they both had each other's abilities, making them both extremely good at ninjutsu and genjutsu, the day before… the incident… Naruto had given her a Lyre and a small Harp, the lyre you've seen, it's silver with golden strings, the harp is golden with silver strings, to this day we don't know how he was able to pay for them" the woman said, the she sighed "Then Inabi Uchiha decided to do something horrible, he did the two things that turned her into the girl she is today, he killed her brother in cold blood and basically bathed in his blood while he was at it, then he… stole her virginity…"
I simply gawked at her; an Uchiha had done such a thing "What happened afterwards?" I asked
"Itachi Uchiha killed the man, and saved Nayuki from even more humiliation that day" she said "However, he didn't help her, he left her there in the rain, me and my father found her freezing, she was past the verge of tears, but she wasn't crying, the rain made makeshift tears for her though"
I got up, tears filled my eyes, how could an Uchiha, no, how could ANYONE, have done this to an innocent person, I ran to the ramen bar she usually hung out at, I would protect her from anyone who would even THINK about doing such a thing to her
"NAYUKI!" I cried out, and she turned around
"Sasuke?" she asked, and I pulled her into a hug, I was crying
"I'm… so sorry… for what… they did… I promise… no-one… will ever… have the chance… to do that to you again!" I said in between sobs, she always had a smile, even if it was small, despite how she was treated, and she knew what it was like to have at least some family, we were the same, only I never smiled, and her life was worse
She returned the hug and was patting my back "There, let it all out" She said, can I kept crying, she was still trying to help me, why wasn't she selfish
When it was all over with, I actually felt better than I had in years, is this what she meant when she said that you should release your emotions
Maybe I should listen to her more often, she seems to know what she's talking about
"HEY, YOU!!" a girl cried out, it was one of the girls I hated most, she was always bugging me, even more so then Sakura and Ino COMBINED…
It was Tumia
---Nayukis POV---
"What do you want?" I asked the girl, she was wearing a shirt that had Sasukes face on it, where the HELL did she get that thing
"I'll want to fight you for Sasuke!" She screamed, and I tilted my head a bit
"What are you getting on about, he's not mine, I was just helping him get over some of his pain" I said, only for her to slap me
"HOW DARE YOU, YOU CAN'T HELP HIM, YOU'RE NOT RIGHT FOR HIM!" she screamed, then she threw another punch, which I dodged while I summoned the small harp my brother had gotten me, I plucked a single string, it was still in tune
"HA, you're gonna fight with a HARP!" the girl laughed, so I played a small piece of music, and her eyes got bigger, I keep playing, she started to scream for me to stop, but I didn't, she started to claw at her eyes, then she tried to cover her ears, but nothing would save her, this technique was my most powerful genjutsu, nothing could end it
"Lyric of The Ultimate Nightmare" I said as I finished the song "Complete"
The girl collapsed, she was going through extreme mental trauma, my music to any bystander would be beautiful, but to my targets, it was their worst nightmare, literally
"Wow… can you show me how to do that?" Sasuke asked, and I shook my head
"You would torture all your fangirls with it" I said smirking, and he frowned
"I understand, but what did she see?" He asked
"Heh… I don't know, my genjutsu changes depending on the target, and since my eyes are closed while I use it, I never actually watch the torture, but if you want to find out" I said, then I whispered in his ear "Listen to her, she's mumbling about it" then I walked off, Sasuke was blushing like mad because of how close I had gotten to him
As I walked down the alleys, I remembered exactly where I was, I could tell, because every time I came here, I could still smell his blood, my brothers blood, it overwhelmed my senses, memories flew back into my head
I felt my breath become much more rapid and shallow, but it felt as if I wasn't breathing anymore, I screamed, hoping that someone, anyone, would hear me and help me
Then everything went black
---Sakuras POV---
I was training with Kakashi-sensei when we heard a scream
"Nayuki!!!" Kakashi cried out, then we ran towards where the scream had come from, we found her laying on the ground in an alley, Kakashi looked for any thieves, but there were none
I checked her pulse, she was alive, but
She wasn't breathing
"KAKASHI-SENSEI, SHE'S NOT BREATHING!" I said, fearing that Nayuki was dying
"Crap, now I know where we are, this is where Naruto died" Kakashi said before he started to give Nayuki CPR
"That doesn't make any sense, why would that have to do with her being unable to breathe?" I asked
"She's going into shock" He explained, soon Nayuki was conscious again
"Kakashi, Sakura?" She asked, as if she couldn't see very well
"ya, it's us" Kakashi said, Nayuki latched onto him, she was whimpering a bit, and Kakashi was trying to comfort her, it also started to rain when she did
"Shh… it's ok, it's ok…" Kakashi said repeatedly, but Nayuki kept crying without tears, and I started to cry, how could people call themselves HUMAN after traumatizing someone like this, how could someone force her to forget how to cry
"Nayuki, I'm sorry for your loss, if you want, I can be your friend" I said, and she turned to me, if her face showed surprise and confusion, Kakashi was looking at me as well, but his face said 'Thank you'
Then the rain stopped as suddenly as it had come, and she latched onto me, holding me in a bear hug like she had with Kakashi
"Thanks Sakura" she said, and I hugged back
"Maybe we should go see Ino and Hinata, you need more than just one friend" I said, and she nodded, releasing me from her hug
"Ok, let's go!"
"Now be careful Nayuki" Kakashi said to her, and Nayuki waved him off as she pulled me towards the Yamanaka flower shop
Today was going to be fun
---Inos POV---
"Hinata, what's wrong?" I asked, Hinata had seemed a bit down since Naruto turned out to be Nayuki
"It's just, I liked Naruto" Hinata answered "And now it's like he never existed"
"Well, why not talk to the Hokage about it, we can't ask Nayuki about Naruto after all, it might make her sad" I said, I wasn't really sure, but Nayuki would most likely be fragile when it comes to that subject
"Hey, Ino, Hinata, just who we were looking for!" a voice rang out, I turned to see Nayuki pulling Sakura towards Hinata and I, she seemed happy
"Nayuki, Forehead, what's going on?" I asked, they both scowled when I said forehead
"I was hoping we could all be friends here" Nayuki said, she seemed annoyed
"Why would I be friends with a forehead?" I asked, and Nayuki slapped me, hard
"Stop calling her that, I watched as you two became friends, and a guy who ignores the both of you made you two enemies, can't you two be friendly rivals like I was with Sasuke when I was under the guise of my brother?" she asked "Did you two ever think of that, I mean, come on, it's just a guy, get over it, so he has The Sharingan and is one of the last living members of the Uchiha Clan, that doesn't mean he's perfect, true love has to do with personalities, not good looks and prestige" She said, how dare she deny my love towards Sasuke
"Nayuki, c-can I ask you something about y-your eyes?" Hinata asked, and Nayuki nodded "What does chakra look like for you?"
"Actually… that's an interesting one, I can see a person's chakra network, much like you can, but instead of seeing the chakra points, I see what type of chakra a person has, for instance, if you have lightning based chakra, your chakra is white, if your water, I see a deep ocean blue, wind is regular blue, earth is orange, and fire is red, and if you have two or more chakra affinities, I see both colors next to each other, an example would be Kakashi-sensei, he has both lightning and fire, and when I look at him, he has white on one side of his chakra veins, and red on the other"
"What's my chakra affinity?" Sakura asked, and Nayuki shrugged
"When I activated it in class, I wasn't paying much attention to you guys, for the most part, I was examining Sasukes chakra, it was white, but didn't have ANY red to it, so I was trying to figure out how the fireball technique was even possible for him, maybe I missed something" she answered, then she backed up
"AKAGAN!" her irises turned blood red again, like during the team announcements "Sakura, you have a water affinity, Hinata, you have earth, Ino, you have water as well, basically you and Sakura are capable of all the same techniques, but Ino seems to have a slightly larger system, indicating more a larger chakra reserve"
"So I'm better?" I asked, I turned towards Sakura and stuck my tongue out
"That's not what I said"
"But you said I had more chakra"
"True, but Sakura's system is more balanced, indicating better control, in practice, you're about equal, but Sakura would be better for medical techniques, as it requires a lot of control"
"What about my techniques, what am I best for?"
"you would be a better choice for burst based techniques, where you don't need persision control, but you need more chakra, a good example of a burst technique would be this" she said, she placed both of her hands outward
"REPLUSE!" She cried out, suddenly I felt like I was being shoved backwards by a burst of wind
"Wow, what was that?" Sakura asked
"Repulse, you pump as much chakra as you can into your hands and release it, depending on your element, it will change, my chakra element is wind, so it created a gust of wind, with water it creates a small wave of water, and with earth it makes the ground in front of you shake"
"C-could you show us h-how to do that?" Hinata asked
"Ya, that was awesome!" I said, and Nayuki smiled
"Sure, but I want to teach it to the others too, let's go get our teams, we'll meet up at Training ground number… ten, I'll get Anko as well, she acts mean, but she's ok, well… she's ok SOMETIMES, but she won't hurt anyone, unless you comment on her style of clothing…" Nayuki explained, then she grabbed Sakura to go find Sasuke
"I don't like her" I said
"W-why not?"
"Um… HELLO, she just DENIED the fact that I love Sasuke, when I DO love him" I said, but Hinata just shook her head
"No, what you have is a crush, she's right Ino, love is more than good looks" Hinata said, she was being completely serious, and she didn't even stutter, then she went to get her team
---Ten minutes later, Training ground Ten, Nayukis POV---
"Hey guys!" I said as Shikamaru came into view, Choji was eating his chips, and Ino was followed the two of them, she seemed annoyed about something, next to them was Shino and Kiba, Hinata was close behind them
"Hey, what did you want to show us, and what's with all the training dummies?" Kiba asked, pointing at the twenty or so training dummies
"It's a technique I developed, I showed it to Hinata, Sakura, and Ino, now I'm going to show you guys" I said, then I built up chakra in my hands and thrust them out towards one of the dummies
"REPULSE!" I cried out, the dummy was hit by the gust of wind I created, and was thrown into a tree
"…Wow…" Kiba said
"What was that?" Shikamaru asked
"It's a burst technique, it's only useful for people with at least a normal level of chakra, Shino might have trouble with it, but he might be able to pull it off with his bugs creating the wave instead of his chakra" I said
"But what if we don't have wind chakra?" Choji asked, and I giggled
"Then it will adapt, it changes according to your chakra type, for example, Sakura, Ino, can you guys give it a try?" I asked, and the both nodded, Sakura tried first
"REPULSE!" they both created a simple wave of water that hit their targets, smashing both targets
"Wow… that was cool!" the both said, then they glared at each other
"Don't fight about it, anyway, this style of technique can be used to work on chakra levels as well, if you train with it on a regualar basis, and don't overdo it, you can increase your chakra levels, but it's not as effective as other styles like the Akimichi techniques for chakra build up" I said, and Choji just gawked at me, the chip he was about to eat falling out of his hand
"You know about that?"
"Why else would you eat so many bags of potato chips, a high calorie food, and still look like that, if I ate like that, even with my training regiment, I would be a freaking blue whale, no offence"
"None taken, but do you know HOW to do it?"
"If I did, I'd have a pantry full of nothing but potato chips at home, and it would be part of my training regiment"
"Oh, good" Choji said "People outside of our clan aren't supposed to use that technique"
"I know, that's why I didn't examine the technique further, otherwise I might be forced into an arranged marriage, I'm not into those" I said, and Choji laughed
"So anyway, let's start trying out this technique" Sasuke said, he put his hands out "REPULSE"
He sent a wave of lightning at the dummy, it looked like a classic Star Wars scene, and the dummy was thrown into a tree
"Wow, that was cool"
"Kiba, your next!" I said, and Kiba jumped up
"Alright, let's go!!" Kiba said, he put his hands up "REPULSE!"
He created an earthquake, shaking the living crap out of his target and knocking it over, for a person, that would be disorientating as hell
"Ok, you're turn Choji"
"Ok!" Choji said, "REPULSE!"
Thanks to Chojis HUGE amounts of chakra, he actually got the ground to break open and swallow his dummy, and he jumping up and down because of how well he had done
"Hinata, your next"
"O-ok" she said, I went over to her before she used it
"Hinata, don't expect to do better than Choji, like I said, his clan has HUGE amounts of chakra, which makes them perfect for this style of technique, however, you have a lot more control, and would be better at other things, but I'm teaching everyone this technique to help with their chakra reserves" I whispered, and she nodded
"REPULSE!"
She made a small earthquake, not ground breaking like Chojis, or as powerful as Kibas for that matter, but still powerful
"Ok, Shino, your turn" I said, and Shino nodded
"REPULSE!"
As expected, inside of using chakra, he used his insects; they came out in a huge swarm, literally coating his target in hundreds of bugs
"Nayuki, that skill is perfect for my clan, we would be able to instantly send our insects upon our opponents, ending the battle instantly, if you don't mind, I would like to-"
"Go ahead, if it will help keep Konoha safe, then teach it to every member of your clan, I mean, it's not like it's a hiden jutsu" I said, and he nodded
"Shikamaru, your turn"
"Jeez, why am I doing this again?" Shikamaru asked, and I glared at him
"Do the technique, NOW!" I screamed, and Shikamaru flinched
"ALRIGHT ALRIGHT!!" he said, his hands up defensively
"REPULSE"
He caused a mass amount of shadows to shoot towards his targets rapidly
"Well, that was useless"
"not exactly, Shikamaru, use that on us and then use Shadow Possession"
"Fine… REPULSE"
We were all completely surrounded in his shadow
"SHADOW POSSESSION JUTSU!" he said, and all of us were captured, he soon released us "You're a lot smarter then you acted"
"what did you expect?" I asked, a little annoyed, and he gave a nervous smile
"Ok, so, anything else?" Kiba asked
"OI, NAYUKI!!" a very annoying, and familiar, voice rang out
"Oh… hi Gai" I said, turning around to see Gai running over here with Lee
"How's Kakashi?"
"Boring and lazy as usual, what are you two doing here?"
"Training of course, just fifty more laps to go!" Lee said exuberantly "Who are you?"
"Nayuki Uzumaki"
"How did you know my name?"
"Well… sorry Lee but, I've been the Naruto that you usually train with when Gai is busy with Kakashi"
"Oh, I understand, I would have at least tried to do that same thing, so, what's going on?"
"I was showing my friends how to do the Repulse technique I created" I explained, then I got an idea, something that would boost Lee's confidence if it worked "Say Lee, why don't you give it a shot, it requires very little control, maybe you could pull it off" I said, and Lee beamed
"You think so?" He asked
"I'm not sure, that's why you should try it" I said, and he jumped up
"OK!" he got into the right position, as he had seen 'Naruto' do this before
"REPULSE!"
Despite Lee's inability to mold chakra, it went well; he launched a pretty strong gust of wind
"LEE, YOU DID IT, YOU USED NINJUTSU!!" I said, and Lee was practically dancing
"WOOHOO, GAI-SENSEI DID YOU SEE THAT!!!" He said, and Gai was crying tears of joy
"You see what hard work can do Lee, now come on; let's get back to training!" Gai said, as Lee ran off, Gai turned towards me "Good job, thanks to you Lee with have plenty of new found confidence, but what inspired that technique?"
"Actually, it was The Hyugas Gentle Fist, which consists of precision controlled bursts of chakra, so I thought, what happens if you DON'T try to control, and just try to release it, and I came up with the Repulse" I explained, and Gai stared at me for a bit
"hmm… maybe you should show it to Neji and Tenten, it's a powerful technique, and I'm sure that Tenten will give it a try, but I'm not so sure about Neji, you know how he is"
"Ya, I understand, Fate and all…"
"Well, I'm off, tell Kakashi that I have a new challenge for him, so he'd better get prepared" Gai said, then he ran off after Lee
"Um… who was that?" Ino asked
"Maito Gai and Rock Lee, Gai considers Kakashi to be his 'Eternal Rival', while Lee is trying to prove that you can become a powerful ninja with Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, Lee's Taijutsu is off the charts because of it, it's all he ever trains in, but, then again, if he trained in Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, he wouldn't get anywhere" I said, and the others looked at me with confusion obvious in their faces "He can't mold his chakra, ever, all of his strength is brute force, and believe me, he's strong, those leg warmers have some seriously heavy weights underneath them"
"Hey, kid, you show them that technique yet?" Anko said as she jumped out of the trees, Kakashi was close behind her, same with Iruka
"Yep, Kakashi, would you mind showing them what happens when someone with two affinities uses it?"
"Sure, I got nothing better to do" Kakashi said, placing his book back into his weapon pouch
"REPULSE!" Kakashi said
A wave of fire blasted out of his hands, mixed in the flames was a wave of electricity, needless to say, the dummies where destroyed
"Wow…" Sakura said, everyone was gawking at the damage Kakashi had done
"Cool huh, anyway, Kakashi, Gai says he has another challenge for you" I said, and Kakashi sighed
"Oh boy…" Kakashi said sarcastically "anyway, we have a mission, C-class, so let's go"
"YES, FINALLY SOMETHING THAT WILL ACTUALLY BE DIFFICULT!" I cried out, the others sweatdropped "What, I'm sick of chasing that damn cat; I just wanna give it a cut and drain all its blood with my Akagan!!!"
That comment, gave them a 'WTF!?' face
"Ugh, nevermind, let's just go" I said, I aimed my hands at the ground "REPULSE!" I said, the result?
I launched myself about fifty feet into the air, and straight towards the Hokages window
---The Third Hokages POV---
"Three, two, one" I said out loud, the others in the room were looking at me with confused faces
The faces turned to shock when Nayuki burst through the window behind me and landed, on her feet, in the center of the room
"WOOT, I got a few flips and spins as I was going on that one!" Nayuki said giggling "So what's the mission?"
"You'll have to wait for your teammates Nayuki"
"Fine…" she said, she was frowning, then she got a devilish smile
"Pleeeeeeeeeasssssssssse" she said, her face had the puppy dog pout, the dreaded puppy dog pout
'Don't… give… into… the pout… don't… give… in…'
"You have an escort mission…" 'DAMN!'
"My Hiruzen, you're getting soft" Danzo said, and Nayuki scowled
Before anyone knew what was happening, Nayukis Akagan was active, Danzo had a cut on his cheek, and a kunai was stuck in the wall behind him
"Danzo, don't insult The Hokage, he was the first person to show any form of kindness towards me, and as such I am protective of him, insult him, and I'll drain every ounce of blood from your system with my Kekkei Genkai, then I'll slice your body in half with an axe made of your blood" Nayuki said, her voice was raspy and filled with hatred, even Danzo, The 'War Hawk' as other members of the council called him, shuddered at her voice
"Sorry it took us so long to get here, what's the mission?" Kakashi asked, then he glanced at Danzo "What did you do?"
"She used a puppy dog pout on Hiruzen, so I called him soft" Danzo said, and Kakashi sighed
"Trust me, whatever threat she made, she was being serious" Kakashi said "anyway, what's the mission?"
"Tazuna needs some guards to defend him from bandits as he travels back to his home in the land of waves and builds a bridge" I said "Tazuna, you can come in now"
---Nayukis POV---
When the old man called for this bridge builder guy, a drunken old man came into the room
"What, I asked for ninja, not a cyclops, a duckass haired emo, a pink haired bimbo, and an idiotic looking brat of a girl"
"What… did you call my friends?" I asked, this guy was pissing me off
"I said that they look stupid, can you understa" was as far as he got before I shunshined onto his shoulders with a kunai in my hand, he was instantly sober
"Old man, all I need to do is give you a small little cut, just small enough to draw blood, and you're at my mercy, as I can literally remove every ounce of your blood through that cut, insult my friends again, and I'll forget about the mission, and kill you" I said, I was pouring as much venom into my voice as I could
He seemed to grasp the fact that I was being serious
"Nayuki, stop hurting clients, that's the fifth one you've cut this week" Kakashi said
"Ok, the woman with the cat DESERVED her cuts, at least admit that, first she lost the cat for the billionth time, and when we brought it back, she nearly squeezed the life out of the poor thing, I think the mission should be getting the cat AWAY from her" I said, it was totally true, the woman nearly killed that poor cat
"All the same, stop hurting them" Kakashi said, and I sighed
"Fine… but if he makes one rude remark about us, I'll kill him"
"No, you won't"
"If Danzo couldn't stop my kunai, what makes you think you can?" I asked, and Kakashi sweatdropped
"Well… I'll just stop you from throwing the kunai" Kakashi said, and I rolled my eyes
This was going to be a long trip, but at least it would be quiet
After all, Sakura was usually quiet, for the most part, and Sasuke and Kakshi might as well have had their vocal cords removed, as for the now sober bridge builder
I think that he'll be quiet, so that I won't kill him
At least he's smart
