Chapter 2
The Beauty of Uzumaki Women
Kushina woke to wonderful smells she could only assume were coming from the kitchen. She took the time to let her eyes adjust as she stared at the unfamiliar celling.
Sighing she rolled out of bed and walked into the bathroom brushing her bed hair and taking care of her hygiene.
My first day at the Konoha academy I wonder how this will go
She thought as she decided to wear a similar outfit from the day before instead of all black she decided to go with a white pants and undershirt with the black jonin vest.
When she entered the hallway she just followed her noise which led her directly to the kitchen where she saw her mother and Mao cooking breakfast without turning around both woman spoke
"Good Moring Sweetheart"
"Good Moring Kushina, I hope you slept well"
She just huffed her reply sitting and waiting for both adults to grace her with breakfast to her delight the woman had made her some ramen
Maybe this won't be such a bad day after all
She procced to devour the breakfast earning laughs from the older woman who said they were glad someone was enjoying their meal.
"Now Kushina don't get use to ramen for breakfast I only allowed it because Mao begged me to let her make some because she heard it was your favorite "
Ro said to her daughter smiling as Kushina looked at her with understanding as she slurped a noodle into her mouth.
"Thank YOU, MAO, you're the best ya know!" Kushina said before stuffing her mouth back in to the bowl
Both woman watched in amusement at the young Uzumaki eating manners or lack of that is.
Soon they were joined by Tsuande who huffed just like Kushina did earlier before diving in to breakfast just as animalistic as the Uzumaki girl.
Both mothers sweat dropped at the sight of their daughters both thinking the same thing
How will they ever get a man with such poor manners at least they are beautiful
Shaking her head Mao told tsuande that the hokage had requested her appearance the younger Senju said bye to everyone before disappearing out the door.
Mao and Ro insisted on walking Kushina to school that day even after the young Uzumaki requested serval times to be allowed to walk alone but her mother insisted that she would never get this opportunity again and Mao said that she wanted to make sure her first day in her care went smoothly.
Embarrassing the young Uzumaki more when she thought they'd stop just outside the school to say their goodbyes they insisted on taking her all the way to class!
She was almost beat red at the looks the kids were giving her she didn't even notice the envious glares of the girls and the romantic stares the young boys were giving her, her mother and the Senju.
They reached her class which was on the second-floor room 211 and she decided enough was enough
"Mom Mao you guys are embarrassing me please go "She said looking at a young boy with blond hair who had walked past them and into the class room he caught her attention because he was taller than her easily 5 feet 7 inches tall she was used to being one of the biggest, but this boy towered over her. She couldn't help but feel drawn to him he was just so handsome to her.
Her mother smiled noticing her daughters eye had been caught by the young boy but said nothing to her about it.
"Now my dear we just want to make sure everything goes over well. Surely you won't deny your mother and Aunt the pleasure of meeting your academy teacher."
She sighed her response just turning and entering the class room sitting in the first seat she saw. She watched in horror as her mother and Mao entered the class and walked directly to her new sensei desk.
She couldn't hear their conversation but in the middle they all turned looked at her and she saw her teacher nod his head and offer her a warm smile.
A few more minutes past the other students were gossiping amongst themselves trying their best to figure out who the newcomers were
"I've never seen them in this village before."
"what's up with the red hair?"
"Damn why are all of them so hot?"
"I wonder if they're married"
"I heard they are from another shinobi village my father told me they were."
She heard all types of rumors and sighed again shaking her head softly she just wanted to fly under the radar do her time and get out her mom and aunt were soon making this mission impossible.
She was brought out her thoughts when her teacher said, "Hey everyone we got a new student please direct your attention to the front and Lady Kushina will you please come up here and introduce yourself."
She felt the sweat in her palm as she looked up to her teacher she didn't know if it was a blessing or curse but her mom and aunt where still there!
She got up a little too fast and was light headed grabbing the first thing she could reach which so happened to be a shoulder of another academy student.
To her shock she had sat right next to the blond she saw walking in to the class and he was now looking at her intensely his ocean blue eyes staring into her lavender colored one.
She felt a blush rising to her cheeks at his gaze but brushed it off muttered a sorry that she sure he didn't hear or comprehend before moving quickly to stand between her mom aunt and teacher.
She now gazed upon the classroom which was almost completely full only a few seats were left unattended.
All eyes were on her and the ladies next to her she noted that like at home most of the attendees were male.
But unlike at home the males were obviously infatuated with her and the woman she was with. Back at home people were not only use to seeing the beautiful Uzumaki woman but they knew that you were to only look at them because you cross a Uzumaki death or extreme pain was bound to be afflicted on you.
She noted that most females only held curious looks at her some looked envious while others look indifferent but nun where obviously hateful.
She sighed and took a deep breath remembering she is and Uzumaki and first impressions are everything.
She will carry herself as an heir to such a clan, so she straightened her back and spoke as clear as she could.
"Good morning class, I am Kushina Uzumaki, I am from Uzushiogakure or land of the whirling tide, I am the daughter of the Uzukage and heir to the matriarch of the Uzumaki clan. This is my mother Ro Uzumaki matriarch of Uzumaki and wife to the Uzukage"
Whispers and recognition were held by some students as they obviously had heard about Ro Uzumaki from stories from their relatives of the war
Supposedly a Ro Uzumaki was the most feared kunoichi to walk the planet single handedly winning many battles in the most recent war. She was rumored to have made dozens of male ninjas kill themselves off her beauty along. Rumored to have told them if they wanted her hand in marriage they were to kill themselves or fight her in order to prove it. Many believed that she was a witch who tricked them into killing themselves with a hinge to make her so beautiful. Because no ninja could have the kill numbers that she was rumored to have.
As the children gazed upon her it was not too farfetched because she was easily the most beautiful woman they had ever seen. To them Kushina was a spitting image if not more beautiful.
"And this is my aunt Mao Senju matriarch of the Senju clan"
Everyone recognized this name the Senju were popular in the village and well known and respected for their history and also more recently producing one of the legendary sannin trained by the hokage himself. The rumors of Tsuande strength was well known so it's obvious that her mother would be just as strong if not stronger. They were surprised though by the beauty and elegance the Senju woman were known to be pretty and more provocative showing off their better qualities their well-endowed breast.
This left some of the boys with runny noses as surprisingly both male and female had hands above their noises.
Her sensei nodded and clapped making his students clap as well
"It's an honor to have you apart of our class, Lady Uzumaki is part of a program started by the First Hokage and First Uzukage that provides the top ninja from Uzushi middle academy class the opportunity to come be a liaison for her village and learn train and study amongst another shinobi village."
Heads of the students nodded in understanding final realizing why such an esteemed shinobi was in their presence
He motioned for her to sit and she watched the eyes of the room follow her back to her seat.
She saw her mom and aunt talk a little more with the teacher and they all were surprised by a sharp take of massive killer intent was placed in the room Kushina recognized one as her mother's massive killer intent but the other was unfamiliar but by the looks of it. It was rolling off her aunt. They both had their teacher shaking but before too long the killer intent disappeared and the women smiled thanked him for teaching their beloved niece and daughter and disappeared out the class room.
Their teacher visible shaken up turned to them plastered on a false nervous smile before speaking to the class
"W-we will all do our best to make our new student feel welcomed to our academy."
"yes sensei" was heard and Kushina shook her head figuring that her mom and aunt must have threatened the poor teacher if anything were to happen to her in their absence.
The teacher called roll and she paid no attention to the names until the boy that was sitting next to her responded when his name was called.
"Minato Namikaze"
"Present"
His voice was so firm yet soft at the same time it sounded like music to Kushina ears and she felt her face go red as she hadn't realized she was staring at the boy's mouth.
What is wrong with me snap out of it Kushina
She was glad he hadn't turned to her and hoped no one noticed her stare. The teacher began a boring lecture on history of the shinobi villages and she knew all about this subject having been the daughter of a kage her study and curriculum was over stressed.
She began to take interest in the class looking around she realized a lot of the girls still held envious looks and she for the life of her couldn't figure out why until she noticed a lot of loving gazes placed upon the blond next to her
Oh, I see they are jealous that I am sitting next to him and not them, if that is the case they should have taken this seat before me not my fault
She felt a little better knowing the reason for the looks she was getting and didn't really stress herself out more about it. When she met eyes with another boy who was looking at her his gaze wasn't like the other males. Not lustful or romantic, more curious and excited like he found something he thought lost.
She noted that he had blackish brownish hair that reached to the end of his face. He wasn't ugly by far and had a rather handsome face. She just didn't understand why he seems so interested in her.
Her attention was drawn away from the boy when she heard two favorite Uzumaki words.
"After lunch we will be going outside to spar and practice our techniques."
She loved sparing and training days almost as much as she loved lunch so to be dismissed to eat then come back and spar was a great first day in her eyes.
She proceeded to the cafeteria thankful that she packed the ramen from breakfast for lunch pulling out three decent size bowls she sat at a table by herself and dove into her food.
To her annoyance she felt a presence standing in front of her and looked up to see the boy from class who had been staring at her.
"May I help you?" she said not being able to hold the annoyance out of her tone.
The boy looked a little displeased at her tone but didn't let it falter him from speaking.
"I am Fugaku Uchiha, and I would like to take you out to show you around the village."
He said with a confidence that she liked.
She hadn't noticed but everyone was watching their interaction even the boy Minato she swore she saw looks pass through his eyes, but she couldn't tell what they were.
She was a little surprised herself no one dared ask her out back home because of who she was. And she was not dumb she knew of the Uchiha clan they were a noble clan of Konoha rumored to be the most powerful clan around their village.
But she's and Uzumaki and rumored power does little to satisfy her.
"I will have to politely ask if you'd give me time to think about it Fugaku kun."
This obviously surprised the Uchiha having expected her to say yes everyone in their class wanted a date with him, but he found the fangirls annoying and had little interest in them he was only interested in a few kunoichi in his class. He was more interested in an older kunoichi from his clan than any of his class mates but when he saw Kushina he even had to admit she was far more beautiful than any Uchiha girl.
Slightly disappointed he nodded his agreement, At least it wasn't a no he thought taking his leave from his new classmate.
She noticed now she had received several hateful glares from the girls in her class and even some that weren't. She guessed that the boy Minato was not the only boy sought after and figured the girls were just jealous.
Why do females here behave so fan girlish that's disrespectful to kunoichi across the world
The rest of her lunch went by without interruption, but she had noticed that a lot of boys were looking at her kind of defeatedly while others lustful glares seems to intensify she noticed even Minato was giving her more open attention. She watched and felt her heart thump as he approached her as she was throwing away trash from her lunch.
"Hello Kushina Uzumaki, my name is Minato Namikaze I sit next to you in class" He said smiling as he reached his handout to introduce himself.
She was again driven into a state of hypnosis by his mere presence. She felt something about this boys' mere presence that not only calmed her but made her Uzumaki blood boil she felt the energy to fight a thousand opens and wrestle with the mightiest off demons.
She felt her thoughts begin to take a dark sinister more provocative direction something was urging her to try to dominate this man.
But she was soon dragged back into the real world when the poor boy laughed awkwardly pulling his hand back and moving it behind his head as he offered an uncomfortable smile. She quickly realized her mistake and grab his opposite had with both of hers shaking it and surprising enough his hands lacked the strength she thought it would hold.
"I'm so sorry for my rudeness. It is a pleasure to meet you Minato Namikaze."
She saw the blush creep on to his face and she felt a sense of contempt knowing that she was the cause of it.
"would you like to walk to the academy training grounds together?"
He asked her with a glint in his eye that showed he wanted her to say yes. She nodded her head and saw his face light up.
He began talking about the history of the academy and all the different training they were undergoing she even heard him mention he wanted to be the Hokage one day.
So, he must be strong
Yes, kit there is no other explanation on how you feel. You may not understand but your Uzumaki blood finds its self the strongest of potential mates.
Most people would be shocked to hear a voice other than theirs in their mind but being the jinchuriki to the kyuubi named Kurama she was used to having the strongest demon known to man in her mind and body.
They had a mutually understanding relationship. And she knows that the kyuubi likes her even though she refuses to admit it. That's another thing most history books got wrong the strongest demon known to this realm was a female.
He doesn't seem impressive to me though Kurama
I thought I've warned you about judging people off their looks. I have no other explanation to explain the changes happening to you
What do you mean changes?
She was a little concerned other than feeling a little warm in his presence she hadn't noticed any changes
Aha you have yet to notice but I know everything that happens in your body. You are going to experience growth into woman hood I believe you Humans call it puberty. As all Uzumaki's you are a lot like animals not to different from the Konoha clan that uses ninja dogs. You both have more animalistic instinct and urges. Your change has been activated due to your proximity to not one but two potential mates
Kurama I don't know what you're talking about but I'm not having sex with no one here.
She was a little frightened by the laugh the demon gave her mocking her attitude.
Yes, once you are of age I'm sure we will be laughing at this discussion because you are in fact being courted by males as we speak you just aren't aware. As a Uzumaki woman your body will never lead you wrong you will pick the strongest male and have strong off spring.
Kurama shut that shit up. I don't want to hear your lies who is the other male I am attracted to then if you are so smart.
The Uchiha
WHATTT
She was brought out her thoughts by Minato who was standing directly in front of her they had walked their way to Konoha training ground for their academy students was meant to be an area that allowed students to train 24/7.
Kushina now noticed that all the students had gathered their teacher was just starting to walk in to the fighting ring.
Minato still had his eyes plastered on Kushina this Uzumaki girl was the most beautiful girl he ever seen.
He struggled to find words to say to her when he first seen her outside the classroom with her mother and Aunt. What's crazy to him is that her mother and Aunt were beautiful. He had already heard the rumors of both woman from his ninja sensei Jiraiya.
He started taking care of Minato after the war, saying he had owed his life to the Namikazes' they had sacrificed their lives for him. Only Jiraiya knows but Minato's mother's last words were his name.
He was alone and always came sometimes even sleeping on the shinobi training ground. Minato trained 24/7 he never wanted to not be strong enough to protect his loved ones. Jiraiya took him as his student and they have to this day trained hard day in and day out.
He noticed that Kushina had gained a lot of attention from everyone in the school not just the students. He had overheard the teachers even speaking of the arrival of the Uzukage's daughter. That's another reason why he was curious about her she seemed to be related to a lot of important people.
He knew Jiraiya was famous and was used to people looking and being around important people, it was just that he could tell that the ninja was all exactly that ninja. He had never seen a female carry themselves as those three did and he liked the strength coming off them.
He normally felt motivated by Jiraiya but now Kushina and he hadn't even seen her fight. But there's no way the family member of such important people was weak. Because if she was she would act more like a princess believing more in others strength than her own.
No Kushina Uzumaki carried herself like an Uzumaki. Because even her mother had the same air about her a sort of confidence and dominance. He just wanted to be close to her learn and grow with her. It was so strange to him after all he just met her! After seeing her not fall head over heels for the Uchiha heir he was sure that she was different.
Every girl their age fawned over them He would be the first to admit that Fugaku fangirls outnumbered his but not by a lot. It surprised him that Fugaku had the same level of interest in Kushina. The girls in their class didn't take to kindly of that and he feared that he was also adding to her list of enemies by talking and standing so close to her.
But he couldn't resist the urge to befriend her and get to know her.
He listened to his instructor tell them the rules of today's spare. They were always the same fight with in the arena and if your opponent was moved out the circle they lost.
He was the strongest in the class only the genius prodigy that was Fugaku provided him with any challenge. It was almost even but Minato did have the upper hand with his latest win streak. The tournament was as usual a boys and girls separate tournament."
He noticed the shocked look on Kushina face and her mouth moved as though she was going to say something, but she then fixed her face glanced at him he could see fire in her eyes, but it wasn't so much anger as it was determination?
The first two contestant were called up and he was surprised when it happened to be him. He had been called to fight a young boy who he knew was a Hyuga known as Hiashi. Now Hiashi was defiantly no push over and easily the third strongest in class. Minato just felt confident he was better than their gentle fist and the bloodlimt with it. Hiashi had recently activated his clans bloodlimt and was now utterly dangerous so he would need to make sure he stayed on his toes.
He looked at Kushina and she was looking at him reading him and judging his reaction she obviously wanted to see if he was nervous about the spar. But he just gave her a confident smile and asked her to wish him luck before heading to the arena.
Kushina was shocked at the discovery that the boys and girls didn't fight each other during training events.
She thought it was stupid that the Konoha academy would have a rule to make such strong ninja shed assume that they understood you cannot predict who a ninja opponent would be a female vs male likely hold is very high at least from the females' perspective
But there are very few legendary kunoichi and she knew that Konoha was not well known for their female ninjas. She was surprised when her teacher had called for Minato to fight she was curious how he felt about it his opponent was a Hyuga and she knew they were famous for their byakugan all seeing eyes
When she tried to read Minato though his mind looked deep in thought and she was wondering if he had even heard his name, but she received her answer when he turned to her a flame of conviction in his eyes
"Wish me luck"
"of course, kick his ass" She watched amusement in his eyes as he laughed and proceeded to enter the fighting ring
She was feeling anticipation butterflies in her stomach like as if she was the one about to fight.
This should be a good battle then Kurama we shall see if he is as strong as you predict.
Yes, we shall kit
Both fighters got into their stances and she watched as the teacher asked both fighters if they were ready both heads nodded, and he started the fight. As soon as the teacher was out the way Minato was at the Hyuga hitting him with combs trying to make it a taijustsu fight.
She felt a shockwave of a shiver flash through her body at the intensity of the fight. She was impressed by the Hygua's determination because he was getting hit with all types of combos and refused to back down. Minato was by far the fastest boy she's seen around her age other than her brother. But watching the speed in which the Namikaze moved she had no doubt that Minato was faster than her brother.
She wondered why the Hyuga was not using his bloodlimt in this fight, but she figured that was probably because he hadn't activated it yet.
Without those eyes he is at a disadvantage.
She saw what appeared to be a misstep which slowed Minato's movement enough for the Hyuga to block his attack then push Minato away.
The Hyuga quickly made a hand sign and said "Byakugan" and his veins around his eyes bulge out.
So that's why his bloodlimt wasn't own he didn't have to capability to use it without his hand sign
"That was a smart tactic Minato to attack me before I had a chance to use my byakugan but now this fight is over."
Tough talk
Kushina thought curious now to what Minato would do. She was impressed even more that Minato seemed to have created a strategic idea for fighting the boy. Now she was wondering if he had a plan b.
As soon as the thought popped up the Hyuga was pulled in to the ground as Minato came launching from under the ground standing above the Hyuga who now was buried up to his chin.
"Match over" Said their teacher stepping up "winner Minato Namikaze."
She could she the anger in the Hygua's face he must be wondering how Minato bested him.
She had seen when as soon as the Hyuga had pushed Minato away he had summoned an earth clone that buried himself underground
Smart poly to use the clone just in case the Hyuga had seen it with his byakugan he may have caught on that it wasn't the real Minato in front of him.
He is a capable fighter
I think he is more than capable
She knew Kushina was right Minato showed excellent taijustsu, battle strategy and showed that he could use physical clones which was a jonin jutsu.
He was not to be underestimated, Minato joined her smiling the whole time he walked to her "How did I do?"
He asked her she smirked saying "Aha you did okay"
She saw his playful pout saying "Awh you hurt my feelings"
She laughed at his face and his antics as he grabbed at his heart pretending to be heartbroken.
They sat and talked about the fighters of the following competitions Minato was telling her about their classmates who was from clans and who wasn't.
She let him talk even though she honestly knew most of the noble clan names but was told of other clans, so she just kept quiet and listened to his angelic voice.
She noticed that the Uchiha Fugaku had dominated his opponent who was a member of the same clan as the hokage. She also had heard the tension in Minato's voice when he said that the Uchiha was just as strong as him.
She was a little surprised and looked at the Uchiha who was staring at them when they met eyes he smiled but for some reason to her it didn't seem to fit his face, but she still gave him a friendly smile before turning her head to her sensei who had called for her match.
She didn't recognize her opponent's family name so figured that she was not from a noble family. But she was not going to let her guard down she would test the strength of these woman.
Minato saw the interaction between Fugaku and Kushina and felt a little tug on his heart he wasn't sure why he wanted to keep his knew friend to himself and knew that Kushina has no part in the rivalry between the two boys. Minato had nothing against Fugaku, but they weren't friends per say they just respected each other and went about their lives.
He was starting to notice the hard stares he was receiving for the Uchiha now and understood that they definitely both had their eyes on the same girl.
Said girl had just gotten her name called and he recognized her opponent as a girl who wasn't from a noble clan but actually was probably the strongest girl in the class. But she was also the leader of his fangirl group, so he hoped that her mouth would not get her into trouble.
He was now curious of Kushina and how she would fight was she as strong as he assumed? Or was she just another girl who didn't take the life of a ninja serious. The teacher asked to see if both girls were ready to spar and they both indicated they were. So, he started the match.
Minato was shocked at the hand speed in which Kushina hands were moving he had only seen Jiraiya hands move that fast. He cast a glance at Fugaku who had activated his sharingan obviously also surprised at the girls' speed.
Kushina called out Earth Style: Land Tsunami he watched as a massive wave of Rock at least 12 feet high and as wide as the circled arena launched itself at her opponent and before she could even blink a loud smack was heard and all he saw was the poor girl go flying out of the ring and smack again hard against the trunk of a tree twenty feet away.
Blood was dripping from the girls' skull and everyone, but the teacher stood shocked. The teacher rushed to the girl providing medical aid to her head as he picked her up after a few minutes of healing charka from his hands. Standing with the unconscious girl in his arms he said
"She will be okay she is just unconscious I am going to run her to the nurses' office and come right back stay here."
And he disappeared into the school.
The class immediately broke in to conversation all the males saying pretty much the same thing that Kushina was strong as shit.
The fangirls of both boys were silent all thinking that there was no way to compete with the girl who was not also prettier but stronger than them.
Kushina looked disappointed as she approached him.
"That was too fast."
Minato looked at her and could tell she was genuinely disappointed with how the match ended
"Well sorry but that was actually the strongest girl in the class."
Kushina looked confused "wait are you serious?"
Minato nodded his head and Kushina just face palmed herself there was no way she was going to be able to improve today against the girls if that was the best Konoha had to offer.
The teacher came back and restarted the tournament the fights with Minato and Fugaku were extremely one-sided and all the girls who were called to fight Kushina forfeit before fighting the girl.
Minato could feel the pressure from the angry coming off the Uzumaki as, yet another girl forfeits she had begun calling all the girls cowards to which none of them had a reply and this seem to make her angrier.
The champions round final came and the girl yet again forfeit from fighting Kushina who by now was all but exploding from anger. She stomped her way next to him and he was trying to think of something to say to make her feel better
Abut as soon as he went to open his mouth the teacher had called him a Fugaku to the ring,
"I'm sorry you didn't get to fight much today" Minato said to her
"It's okay just focus on your match good luck "he nodded and headed into the ring. If he was honest he was nervous not because he had to fight Fugaku, but he could tell that although she was made Kushina was interested in this fight.
He felt that if he lost this he for some reason would lose his chance with her. Little did he know that his opponent was thinking the exact same thing.
Minato got into his fighting stance and waited for his teacher to begin the match. Both of them told their sensei they were ready to fight he told them they may begin.
Minato watched staring at the Uchiha looking for any sign of his first move.
Kushina was indeed watching this fight closely she kept getting those excited shivers that to her dismay Kurama had told her that was her body reacting to the two "alphas" presence and the fight that was going to commence. Kurama said her body was reacting and giving her almost the same time of feeling as one would get when sexually turned on and a sensitive nerve was hit.
She tried her best to ignore the demon and focus on the fighters who still hadn't moved they weren't still from fear but watching and looking for the tiniest of weakness in their opponent's defense. She noticed that Fugaku had activated his sharingan and was surprised most young Uchiha don't activate theirs till later in life. But Minato had mention that Fugaku was considered a genius by his clan.
"You scared Namikaze?" Fugaku said breaking the silence between the two fighters. He wanted to lure his opponent into attacking him since his family style of fighting excelled in countering their opponents due to their bloodlimt.
But when he was met with no response his anger took the best of him and he had launched himself at Minato determined to punch the man in the face.
Kushina watched the taijustsu fight that acquired in Awh both boys were flawless in their movements and counter blocks. Nether was able to land a hit, but she noticed that Every time Minato hit the Uchiha was pushed back a little. This told Kushina that Minato was the stronger of the two which swayed the taijustsu battle to his advantage,
As if hearing her thoughts, the Uchiha jumped back and signed some hand seals yelling Fire Style: Fire ball jutsu as a large ball of fire was blown from his mouth. Minato acted quickly forming his own hand seals and yelling Earth Style: 5 Pillar walls and 5 thick walls were stacked to stop the fire ball.
The walls were successful in his defense and Minato quickly formed some seals saying Earth Style: Avalanche jutsu and the 5 walls cascaded down falling to crush the Uchiha
Kushina watched Fugaku had no choice but to jump high in the air over the tsunami wave, only way he could have been able to jump over that was through channeling chakra into his legs
Impressive but that's a mistake
Kushina thought as soon as Fugaku leaped into the air Minato was going through a set of hand signals.
Wind Style: Hurricane Winds a huge wave of wind came blowing from the east knocking a few of their classmates who were unexpecting off balance.
The wind was strong enough to blow Kushina back a few steps as she had to cross her arms over her face and bend her knees in order to withstand the push of air.
As soon as the winds came they left and Kushina looked to the arena. She noticed that Minato and Fugaku were both in the arena but only her and the teacher had saw him land and his left heel had stepped out of the Arena.
"The match Is over via ring out, winner Minato Namikaze"
Fugaku tried arguing his case with the teacher yelling at the man saying he had made a mistake.
But Kushina had seen the ring out with her own eyes so she knew that Fugaku was just mad and trying to argue moot point.
Minato came approaching her just like after all his fights coming to ask how he did
"How did I do?"
"I would have been impressed if you won by forfeit." She said jokingly but Minato gave her a slight frown he knew she was upset about not being able to spar pretty much all day.
They were interrupted from the conversation by their sensei who had ended his conversation with the Uchiha who was so angry not even his fangirls were daring to approach him.
"Congratulations to everyone I am so proud of the skill shown here today"
A loud laugh was heard, and everyone knew it came from Kushina who had been expressing her disappointment in the Konoha female shinobi. But the teacher just continued to speak
"Our champions of today's tournament are Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze class is dis- "
Kushina was not going for that. Two champions no that's not fair for her she had to only fight one time she was not leaving till she got a good spar even if she had to fight her own teacher.
"Sensei I demand to fight Minato Namikaze"
Minato was shocked by Kushina statement if it was physically possible I'm sure his jaw would be on the floor.
Kushina saw him and gave him a smirk that he was beginning to associate it with her 'evil' smirk the smirk she gives him when she knew something he didn't or had something over someone.
He also thought that the smirk was extremely sexy.
"B-but Lady Kushina we don't usually let our female shinobi fight with the males here."
"BULLSHIT I demand to fight Minato Namikaze."
The teacher could tell she was serious and based on her jutsu which was easily a B ranked jutsu she would be able to handle a ninjutsu battle with his top students Fugaku and Minato he looked to said student who nodded his agreement.
He sighed and said, "Okay will next match will be Minato Namikaze vs Kushina Uzumaki."
Minato and Kushina both made their way to the ring all eyes on them. Fugaku had stopped his whining and was looking to the ring with curiosity, he figured the girl Kushina was strong but was she really on the same level as him and Minato?
All the girl shinobi were secretly hoping Minato would not hold back and beat the shit out of Kushina, but they see the way the two interacted and understood that the odds of a bloody battle was not something that was likely.
Both shinobi took their stances as their teacher asked if they were ready
Kushina nodded eagerly with a look of fire in her eyes. Minato was not aware that she was not only fighting for herself but to show here fellow female classmates that they were strong and could stand to defend themselves and be more than fan girls.
Minato nodded his head and the teacher began the fight.
Kushina was on him in a hurry forcing Minato to be on the defensive from the start. Her taijustsu was incredible each block he successfully had he felt the impact in his bones. He knew he would have serval bruises. After this no one hit this hard not even Jiraiya, so he knew not to let her land a punch.
He noticed when she threw her left hook it left her a little open and he counter with a quick uppercut that sent Kushina head flying backwards and stopped her advance. He had done it so quick he didn't even dial back the punch he threw by instinct, so he ended up hitting her full force.
Kushina had landed on her back a few feet away but was quickly standing he saw blood was trickling out the corner of her mouth but she wasn't furious just smiling at him like a mad woman.
She ran the hand signs so fast he only saw the Ox sign before she yelled. Wind Style: Air Bullet jutsu
He then felt hot hard air pockets hit his chest with a smack. They came with the impact of a 100mph baseball hitting him dead in the chest knocking the wind out of him. Before he could recover a kick was sent to the side of his head knocking him back just as far as she had been previously.
His head was thumping from the attack and he knew he had a cut on the side of his head. Kushina was looking at him deeply trying to predict his next move he knew he was not as fast at her with his ninjutsu so the moves he used would have to be powerful. Crossing his fingers in the sign like a plus. He made 3 shadow clones and charged Kushina.
He was surprised when she made three clones of her own and even more surprised to find out they were wind style cones.
Everyone was watching in awe as the clones were fighting a they could tell this wasn't just a spar but two actual ninjas going at it. The only sign that the two weren't trying to kill each other was the smile on Kushina face when she got the upper hand. Her clones both seen an opening throwing a kunai at the opposites clones opponent both of Minatos shadow clones dispersed and he was soon over whelmed by all three of Kushina.
He knew he was being pushed back and was close to a ring out. Thinking Quick he swept on clones' feet from under her sending her crashing to the ground and being replaced with a pile of dirt. Jumping over the remaining two opponents as he was in the air he ran through a set of hand seals.
And called out Earth Style: Stampeding Bulls four large bull shape rock figures emerged from the ground a ran toward the two Kushina and her clone both used a jutsu Earth Style: Great Wall Jutsu
Water Style: Water Dragon
In front of Kushina a large wall easily 30 feet tall rose right in front of the charging bulls who crashed into it destroying themselves. Behind the wall a large water dragon was seen and came crashing down on Minato who countered with a fire style jutsu
Steam was seen covering the contestants the spectators watched and waited for the steam to clear. A gasp was heard from everyone as the seen both competitors standing but Minato obviously looked exhausted he must have used a lot of charka to counter the jutsu he was faced with.
The Uzumaki girl looked a little winded as well but not in the same way as Minato did.
Fugaku was impressed by the level of ninjutsu displayed by both people. This looked like a chunnin battle not that of academy students.
Before to mush time was given for her opponent to recover Kushina was back on Minato throwing punches and kicks this time connecting on allot more strikes she managed to sweep Minato legs from up under him and followed it with a kick to his head which sent him rolling from where he was sliding to a stop just at the edge of the ring.
Everyone watched to see Minato struggle to stand holding his head. Fugaku could see that Minato was worse off and before Kushina could attack their teacher came between them stopping Kushina's actions.
"This match is over Minato suffers from a major head injury and his chakra is nearly depleted you win."
Kushina lowered her fist and nodded her head walking away not even saying anything to Minato.
Minato felt disappointed in himself at the look he was given by Kushina it was as if she was disappointed with his effort. He hung his head and followed his sensei to the nurses' office.
Kushina on the other had after the match the Teacher had dismissed everyone to go home but she decided to go to the nurses' office to check on Minato, but the whole way there she was deep in thought.
I thought you said he was strong Kurama
He is my kit you both are way to advance for academy students.
Yet he is not strong enough to beat me? I thought you said my blood was activated by alpha males, yet I defeated the strongest of the two.
Your blood does react to strong alphas I have no explanation on to why your changes are happening, maybe it was just time and was a coincidence. Cause your mate as a Uzumaki should be stronger than you. Uzumaki woman are drawn to those that are strong. So more than likely the boy is not the one for you.
Kushina just sighed she was happy to have proven the demon wrong in one thing because Kurama was annoyingly always right.
She walked in to the nurses' office to see Minato and was surprised her heart no longer thumped as vigorous as it had previously to their match another sign that she was no longer attracted to him. She noticed he was holding an ice bag to his head and was deep in thought. She cleared her throat making noise, so he would notice her presence.
When he turned to her he offered a small smile and she returned his smile with one of her own.
She approached him sitting on the edge of the table he was laying on. "How you are feeling?"
"I am okay, you hit hard as a brick." They both laughed lightly she was glad that he seemed to be unaffected by his lost she knew she couldn't have the same type of relationship with the Uchiha because he would have been to mad about his lost to remain friends with her.
"I joke but seriously you're really strong, and I feel I didn't even see half of your power." Minato told her giving a look that was to be described as infatuated.
"If you are saying I was holding back I'm sorry but I wasn't. I tried my very best and was also impressed with your strength. Maybe you were weakened by the fact you actually had to fight multiple opponents today."
Minato laughed "I doubt that was the case. I'm sure that everyone in the school will be aware of my defeat by the new girl tomorrow."
Kushina brows flurried in confusion "are you ashamed that you lost to me because I am female?"
"What no no no of course not. I'm just saying word travels fast around here. I used to be the strongest in our class but now I have even more competition."
Kushina just nodded her head in understanding and they talked until the nurse came and released Minato who then offered to walk her back home.
When they arrived, he gave her a hug and went about his way to his house she assumed. But little did she know he was actually looking for Jiraiya to force the man to train him, so he could get stronger.
Kushina told her family about her first day and her mother and father were not surprised by their daughter who had won the championship fight. They were surprised by the fact that the female shinobi in her class didn't fight the males and that most them quit without even trying to fight. Tsuande Mao and Ro were proud of her for taking her stand and fighting the young Namikaze to show her fellow female and male class mates that kunoichi can be strong too.
Ro was surprised that it was in fact the blond boy her daughter first had eyes on. Who was her opponent in the championship round. She could tell that her daughter now felt differently about the boy since she had defeated him.
Cursed Uzumaki blood. An Uzumaki woman could never fall for a weak male it's just not in our genes.
Weeks flew by for Kushina who had indeed been the talk of the school. Her parents had left over a month ago, but she was doing fine with her cousin and aunt. She was loving her life. Her and Minato had begun to be insurable. They trained together and sparred a couple more times with the supervision of Tsuande and or Mao, sometimes even Minato's trainer Jiraiya who Kushina avoided at all cost do to his extreme pervert nature. But she never had to discipline him because Tsuande always handled that with the older ninja.
Minato had asked her out on a date twice to which she denied, if he took it to heart she never knew because he always just laughed it off and changed the subject. She was glad that he didn't let it come between their relationship. A lot of boys had asked her out in the academy even the boys from the older classes had. But she had denied them all nun had made her heart pound like Minato did when she first saw him. The most annoying boy by far was the Uchiha always demanding her time and him and Minato fought a few times because he kept bothering Kushina.
Minato made it clear he wasn't fighting for her because he thought she couldn't handle herself. He just was defending her honor as her friend and she was grateful to have someone to stand by her side. She had kept training with Tsuande and Mao learning a lot from the older two ninja Tsuande was making Kushina in to a good medic, while she was also learning the secrets to the super strength that the Senju woman had from Mao.
The girls were really close to each other spending every minute they could together and the only time they'd fight was over who ate whose leftovers. Kushina loved them very much they were even willing to suffer the pain and possible death that came with her practicing her secret Uzumaki clan technique, that was a water based jutsu that allowed upon mastery for and Uzumaki to control the water in their opponents' body. Serval times one of the poor Senju woman had been hospitalized by the Kushina but they always tried to help her and was one of the reason Tsuande and Mao were teaching her medic ninjutsu and the super strength of Senju, so her charka control will be good enough to do her clans technique.
Kushina Mother and Father before they left put seals on the two woman that would help with pain and protect them against the Uzumaki technique after the Senju had agreed they'd help teach their daughter how to do it. Leaving them secret scrolls as well to help teach Kushina. Mao and Tsuande felt a sense of pride that the Uzukage and Ro had entrusted them with not only their daughter but a deadly family technique to teach their daughter as well. So, they never thought about betraying their family.
It had been 2 years now since the Young Uzumaki had come to Konoha and today was the day of her graduation neither her mother or father said they were able to make the trip which kind of had the girl depressed But in the letter they wrote they said someone from Uzushi that she was in fact close to would be there to congratulate her so she had spent the whole week trying to figure out exactly who that was.
Mao and Tsuande were probably more excited than her about her graduation they had been looking after the Uzumaki for the past few years and were so proud in the ninja she was becoming she also seemed to grow more beautiful by the day.
When she arrived to the Konoha academy she was greeted by her only nut best friend Minato. Minato had made a habit of either picking her up from the Senju compound and walking with her to school claiming he was on the way to school and just happened to run into her. Almost every day he also lived the opposite direction of the Senju compound, so she knew the odds of that were not high, but she enjoyed his company he always managed to make her laugh.
On days where he didn't pick her off he always waited outside the school till she arrived and today was no different he had been posted up outside the school back against the wall one leg up and holding a book in his hand.
He hadn't noticed her until she had slapped hi upside the head after reading the perverted page in the book
"hey what was that for?"
"Why are you reading such a perverted book out in the open Min?"
"Jiraiya had asked me to read his rereleased book to make sure it was good before he released a published version, its actually really good has great action and yes there are some sexual content but overall is a great ROMATIC book Kushy. Apologize for hitting."
Through the years Minato had notice things about Kushina how she behaved. He had gone to Jiraiya about the young Uzumaki female and told him about his crush. After getting Jiraiya to calm down and act normal because he was shouting things about how proud he was and talking some nonsense about what base was he on with the girl.
Jiraiya had told him that woman like confidence, strength, honesty, and romance. All these were tenfold for Uzumaki woman who they read after doing some research were known to be like Inuzuka clan. They both loved strength and sexual preferences to the other gender were more along based on animal like qualities whereas most people are attracted by looks Uzumaki's and Inuzuka clan woman read more into their partners looking for strength and good health to insure health off spring.
So, with the help of Jiraiya who basically told Minato he had been friended after his sparring lost, and his continual loss to the girl was not helping him attract the girl. So, he created a plan to be her friend and get to know her more personally while training his ass off. It wasn't just because he wanted Kushina that he wanted to get stronger. How could he be hokage if he was not indeed the strongest it just helped she was his friend and always was willing to share her knowledge with him.
He noticed even though she was such a strong-minded woman she actually enjoyed being controlled in certain situation he could always tell because she would give him this look as though he was a piece of meat and she wanted to eat him. Which would leave him with a hard on.
She was indeed giving it to him right now challenging him "No I don't think I want too Min- Ah- Toe" She said his name teasingly trying to provoke a reaction out of him.
In a flash he had switched their position pining her to the wall and standing close in front of her not close enough that their bodies were touching but close enough to feel the others breath against their skins. "You hit me unprovoked Kushy I think I deserve an apology." He used the nickname she didn't like because she said it made her look weak.
He saw her arms cross and she look away stubbornly muttering a "Sorry"
He would normally press her for a better apology, but he felt this victory was enough he made his point if the blush that was on Kushina face was proof. He let off her and they entered the school.
Neither of them was worried about the testing process that included physical hand to hand combat, which Kushina won overall and Minato won again for the boys. Written test was again Kushina had placed 1st with a tie for the boys between a Nara and Fugaku. There was a stealth part where Minato had blown everyone out the water with Kushina and Fugaku a close second. The last part was basic ninjutsu which both Minato and Kushina had no problems passing.
They were awarded their hitaiate, Minato had forgotten that Kushina wasn't from Konoha but was reminded by her hitaiate which instead of having a bird like symbol had just a swirl on it. He frowned slightly when he saw it around Kushina's arm. But quickly perked up and smiled at her telling her congratulations. Their teacher walked in congratulating them all and said he was proud to announce that their class had the highest graduation rate ever in Konoha history.
Minato know there was only one person to credit that to and that was Kushina she had lit a fire within the kunoichi in the classroom who had all improved just by being around her. Minato figured that getting your ass kicked all the time got tiring so you were either going to quit or get stronger he also gave the girls who didn't quit credit for hanging tough. Kushina also lit fire in the boys too some who had asked her out had been told they simple weren't strong enough for her.
Their teacher started calling out the names for the teams Minato was hoping he was placed on a team with Kushina but knew the odds weren't in his favor. He had a better chance in being placed with Jiraiya who had recently been told that he had to take a Genin team this year by old man Sarutobi and wasn't too thrilled about it.
So he was surprised when his team was called "Team 4 will consist of Kushina Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze and Tsume Inuzuka your teams jonin will be Jiraiya of the sannin congrats,"
Minato was surprised to have the number 1 and 2 ranked kunoichi on his team Tsume when Kushina first arrived didn't take being a ninja to seriously although she came from a strong noble clan. She seemed to have been rebelling against her parents a bit sometimes even not coming to school. But after Kushina and her fought a month or two after Kushina arrive Tsume changed and her and Kushina actually talked and made conversation from time to time. Tsume was probably top 5 strongest in the class.
Minato was so happy about being placed on Kushina team he didn't even care if he had to deal with Jiraiya for the next few more years.
This might not be as bad as I thought
