New Whirlpool
Author's Notes: I'm actually surprised to get his chapter done this quick, my shoulder is throbbing a bit but surprisingly my arm isn't hurting that much after all this typing. The pain will probably come when I stop all the way LOL guess I'll find out soon. Anyways here in the next chapter and to warn people who may not have realized it yet this is a female Naruto story. The beginning of the first chapter made it sound like she was a he because of the point of view. Naruto looked like a boy to any outward appearances so didn't state that until it was shown otherwise, I am sorry about any confusion in that area.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or anything to do with Naruto but I did create the two sisters that will end up being on Naruto's team unless I decide to use someone else from cannon for the role.
Now The Story:
It was hard to believe that it had already been two months since leaving Konaha. During the time Kyu had kept her promise to teach her. So far Naruto had learned to survive off the land by gathering fruit and hunting for food while cooking it over a camp fire. She also learned that a lot of the techniques taught to her at the academy where she worked on the one on one spars with teachers was faulty. Her taijutsu left so many holes open it was easy to see how someday it could get her killed. The chakra exercises was somewhat right since it was taught as a group but that didn't stop the teachers from trying to sabotage her. There was just so many holes in the blondes techniques it wanted to make Kyu cry at how bad the young girl was treated.
Luckily she was able to fix some of the most glaring problems as the girl was eager to learn and had a lot of potential. Since a lot of the training had to be done in the mindscape though it could take a little longer than it normally should. Kyu had all the time in the world to work on helping the girl and since she was able to teach Naruto to meditate and change the mindscape everything was much more comfortable. Kyu loved the lush new forest that populated the mindscape and the large comfortable mansion by a lake right in the middle of it made it even better.
They were coming up on a town though, one that wasn't on the old map that the blonde had though they have heard a lot of good things about it. It was supposedly a newer town that was built mainly for merchants to stop and rest but over the last ten years since it was supposedly built it grew well past that. Many people loved the peaceful setting of it and settled down there while some merchants built permanent shops there though they still traveled. It was built maybe a days travel from Wave which was a plus as it was far enough from Konaha that it should be rare seeing leaf shinobi.
They traveled through several towns but they didn't want to stay long any of them because they saw one leaf ninja or another and they didn't want to run the risk of being taken back or attacked. Kyu tried to convince Naruto to drop the boy disguise but the girl was just too scared after the lectures Sarutobi gave her and past experiences.
"So what do we do when we get there, Kyu-Chan?" Naruto asked in her mind.
"First off we need to look around and get he lay of the land and decide if it looks okay." replied mentally, once again thankful for the ability to communicate like this since the seal was broken. "If you feel safe here we should probably look for a place to get a job at."
"Maybe I can join the ninja here." Naruto said mentally smiling a bit more.
Kyu felt a little bad at hat statement, she knew how much Naruto wanted to be a ninja but even if this town was a decent size it was still much smaller than most ninja villages and without any walls surrounding it there wasn't much of a chance of it having a ninja force.
Naruto kept walking for a bit only stopping to look at some of the shops after getting into the heart of the town. The smiling shop keepers was a welcome change from the harsh words and thrown objects that often happened back in Konaha. There was so many cool things that Naruto wanted to buy so much but she didn't really have the money to buy anything yet but if she could find some kind of work then maybe she could come back later and buy some of the things she so wanted.
Waving goodbye to another shop keeper Naruto kept exploring until she came to a large building right in the center of town. It was an inn and bar that had a sign sitting out front advertising their specials as well as letting people know that they were hiring. Smiling she walked into the door to find a dim lit room filled with booths and tables as well as a bar. There were several people sitting around eating but it wasn't crowded which made Naruto wonder why they would need help.
"Hey kid, here to eat?" A short woman with black hair tied back in a ponytail asked from behind the bar.
"Actually I was wondering about the job." Naruto said as she moved over to sit on one of the stools in front of the bar. "My name's Naru."
"Sorry Naru, I doubt the owner while hire you, she normally doesn't hire boys." The woman said with a sad smile.
"I don't know about that." A red haired woman said coming out from a door behind the bar. "Welcome to the Yellow Flash, I'm the owner Kushina and this is my assistant Karina."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Naru." Naruto said staring at he woman in front of her. There was something so familiar about her but Naruto couldn't place it. Her hair wasn't as bright as Kyu's own but it was also long. Her eyes was a dark blue and almost looked like they were violet. She was wearing a light blue plain kimono styled top tied closed with a black sash and fell just above her thigh. She had on tight black pants and had an elegant look about her yet she gave off a dangerous vibe for some reason. "I'm new in town and I was hoping to find a job."
"Well I already have two servers and Karina runs the bar. I usually do the cooking but I need somebody to help out when I have to take my two girls on trips out of town for...business purposes." Kushina said, "When we are all here I could use help out in the kitchen and also removing people who may have had just a little too much to drink."
"I can handle that." Naruto said smiling a bit as she realized she may just have a job here.
"Are your parents okay with you working here?" Kushina asked giving the blonde an appraising stare.
"I don't have any parents." Naruto said looking away a little hiding the pained look that briefly flitted through her eyes.
"Okay, I may give you a shot. You can stay in one of the rooms and have three meals a day and as much non alcoholic drinks as you want. You will be paid normal server wages and you may keep any tips you get when you help serve." Kushina said, "My girls are very special to me, they are my daughters and I don't want any funny business. Last guy I hired thought he could have his way with one of them until I cut his dick off for daring to touch her. I expect you to act much better around him if you don't want yours cut off to."
"Heh, not a problem." Naru said trying not to laugh as there was no worries there since she didn't have one in the first place.
"Good, well welcome to the Yellow Flash then. As I said I am the owner Kushina Uzamaki and I look forward to working with you."
"U-Uzamaki?" Naruto choked out in disbelief. "Have you ever been to Konaha?"
"I used to live in that hell hole." Kushina said narrowing her eyes and staring hard at he blonde. "My husband gave his life for that damned village and I lost my baby all so those bastards could turn on me blaming me for it."
"You lost your baby?" Naruto asked as so many things flew threw her head while looking into this woman's eyes as anger quickly filled them. An anger was filling Naruto too though as she realized this could actually be her mother and if she was the bitch abandoned her.
"My husband took my baby as soon as she was born, I didn't even get a chance to hold her. The funny part was that all the medics swore to us that he baby was going to be a boy so we already had her named and everything." Kushina said, "The asshole sealed a demon inside our baby killing both himself and my little girl for an ungrateful village."
"I'm sorry to hear that." Naruto said trying to be cordial even though she wanted to demand answers. It sounded like the woman thought Naruto was the demon just like everyone else and just left her there. The blonde wanted nothing more than to run out crying but Kyu was keeping her calm. She needed a job and this was probably going to be the best she could do.
"Are you from there? I swear if I find out hat you are here spying on me I'll..." Kushina said on the verge of growling.
"I hold no love for Konaha either, I was trying to be a ninja but they screwed me over at every turn." Naruto said in an even voice while trying her best to stay calm as she could feel Kyu trying her best to soothe the blonde. "I still want the job if I can have it."
"I already said you can have it but I will be keeping my eye on you." Kushina said just as evenly, "I swear though if you even think about hurting my girls you will live to regret it."

Disappointed? Sorry if you are but disappointed in what? The grammar? Punctuation? The story type? Where it is going? Life in general?
Shadow-The Black Queen:
Glad you did like it and I do love female Naruto stories too, I love normal ones to but there are so many female Naruto stories out here that I love I had to give writing one myself a try. Here's your update hope you liked it. To answer your question it will already be made though it is even more hidden than most other Ninja Villages using the right under your nose method. The ninja force isn't big yet but it will grow and they will be participating in the Chunin exams where Naruto will be able to show her stuff and prove to everyone she is much better than they gave her credit for.
Unit Fox-Hound:
Sorry you feel that way, you are missing out on many great stories using a close minded approach such as that. It isn't the all the different stories that you are missing out on loss but your own as some of the best stories on this site is a female Naruto story while there are plenty of stories where Naruto is a guy. I was planning to put female Naruto in the summary but I ran out of space.

I am sorry you feel that way, as I said earlier when approaching a new story with close minded ideas it can make you miss out on some great stories. People write stories like these because they are a fresh new twist in a different universe where anything can happen. I shouldn't even respond to this after being told to go to hell and I have half a mind to ream you for it but here is your explanations behind Hinata, Kiba and Shino.
Hinata-While the Byakugan can see through solid objects it doesn't have to. And as seen on the picture showing the chakra flow posted on Naruto-pedia where Naruto is shown with the chakra lines he is still fully dressed just showing the lines of energy. While Hinata can see through clothes if she wanted I don't believe that she is a pervert or would try to.
Kiba-Kiba is young and while a girl may have a different scent to some extent it is easier to mask the scent before puberty. Of course in the story Naruto just hit puberty not long before the beginning and when she is on her period she is staying the heck away from anyone else including school because she can't deal with them. Kiba knows that here is something weird though about Naruto's scent but just chalks it up to her being a freak like most of the people in town says she is.
Shino-Like most of the others he doesn't particularly care about Naruto beyond the fact that the blonde keeps killing any bugs that land on her and try to drain her chakra. Like a mosquito sucking too much blood and popping Shino's bugs pop from Chakra overload. It would take a large amount of his bugs to drain her without killing most of them and Shino isn't that aggressive towards her, just indifferent.
