Okay Third chapter, to start this off I give a cyber cookie and round of applause to NarutoKushina for guessing who the second voice inside Naruto's head is, also I'm giving a shout out to Bcsclaymore for allowing me to use a part of his story for this chapter, you will know when you see it as it involves a emotional part from Kushina, next I will admit that this chapter did take me some time to write out because of certain circumstances, but hey, that's life for you. Anyway expect the next few chapters to come at really slow updates after this, because I am putting together the academy years, coming up with a plot-line and subplots for how he will meet some of the girls who will be part of his harem later on, so that's going to be a bummer.
But never fear the story must go on, so without further ado here is the next element for Elemental Manipulation control techniques: Water
Water Manipulation
1. Leaf absorption - (So you want to master water do ya, well these exercises will see you through) The first water manipulation exercise, to do this grab a leaf and with your chakra, drain the water out of the leaf until it becomes dust (or whatever a leaf does when the water is drained from it), and the key to this exercise is to drain the leaf as fast as possible
2. Absorption carving - this exercise is similar to leaf carving but instead of cutting shapes out of the leaf, you have to absorb water from the leaf to make the shapes, the key is to use precision with the least chakra possible while doing so
3. Water current reversal - in the third exercise the user has to reverse the current of the water from a tiny creek to a large river, the key to this exercise is to do so with the least chakra usage as possible (This helps greatly in controlling your chakra, along with the fourth exercise)
4. Water current carving - Similar to the leaf, and waterfall carving methods for the wind release exercises, the user has to carve shapes into the water current, starting from simple ones to complex ones while moving the complex shapes as if they were part of a motion picture, the key to this exercise is to carve the shapes precisely as fast as possible, while using the least chakra usage possible
5. Water orb creating - in this exercise the user has to create an orb of water out of the element available to them, and be able to move it without making ripples in the water orb while doing so with the least chakra usage possible
6. Water orb shaping - in the sixth exercise the user has to now expand or contract the orb at will, while also turning it into different shapes from various animals that are semi-sentient to help them fight, to weapons, or armor while doing so with the least chakra usage possible
7. Water orb controlling - in this exercise the user now has too be able to create multiple orbs of water, then be able to change the viscosity of water to make it heavy enough to be used as iron so that the orbs can be used as cannon balls to cause massive impact damage which also helps in strengthening the water animals, weapons, and armor from the sixth exercise, or have the pseudoplasticity of a bubble, and be able to cause explosions at will ranging from ones that temporarily stun to massive blast charges that explode with kinetic force, that can also be able to use as a prison for your adversary, if you make the bubble to be able to stretch like rubber without popping
8. Waterfall reversal - the final beginner exercise on your way to mastering water, in this exercise which is like the water current reversal, you need to be able to simply reverse the direction that a waterfall is flowing, the key to this exercise is to start from a small waterfall to reversing a large one while doing so with the least chakra usage possible (doing this exercise helps with controlling your chakra)
9. water absorption - good job in reaching the intermediate stage of water mastery, you must really like water. Anyway this exercise is like wind absorption, only you leak your chakra into a body of water then you start out with absorbing water one digit at a time, until you can do it with your limbs, followed by your whole body. The key to this exercise is to absorb water from a body of water then gradually be able to absorb moisture from the atmosphere, and in doing so you well be able to use the moisture in the air for your jutsu. Also you have to use the least chakra usage possible to do the exercise.
10. Fog forming - with this exercise to control water the user will be able to form fog, and could make it thick enough to mute sound and render doujutsu based-sight useless, and if they wanted to, the user could use it to suffocate the opponent by drowning them, or create clones made out of the fog, that hide within it and could automatically attack the opponent
11. Fog shaping - The user can form animals, or weapons out of the fog to attack the opponent, or create B-ranked ninjutsu based illusions while also cloaking themselves in a illusion, also the fog can't be canceled
12. Fog controlling - The user can use up to A-ranked ninjutsu based illusions that can use chakra to attack, or at the cost of using illusions the user can manipulate the PH levels within the fog, in order to melt the opponent with acid
13. Cloud forming - The user forms clouds, and can make them as thin as a thick mist, or thick enough to be solid enough to grab onto the adversary, and could also use the solid clouds as a platform to stand on (Nimbus), and can also drain chakra from the opponent
14. Cloud shaping - The user can shape clouds into armor as hard as steel, as well as different types of animals that are semi-sentient that could drain chakra away from the opponent and give it to the user, as well as making different weapons that are as hard as steel, yet be as light as a feather and be razor sharp, also the user could be able to propel themselves through the air, and achieve a pseudo form of flight
15. Humidity controlling - (you've proceeded to the level of expert water manipulation, congratulations just like the wind user who has reached this stage in manipulation the water user who has reached this stage can also tell the other water users that they know something, and brag about it) In this exercise the user has to be able to control the amount of water vapor in the air, from low humidity which can increase the risk of the opponent getting a virus or flu, to high humidity which can promote the growth of mold, or fungus.
16. Ice forming - In this exercise the user cools down the temperature of a body of water and can create snow, or ice, and can use it in various techniques to attack the opponent, the key to do this exercise is to freeze the water with the least chakra usage possible, and gradually be able to use the moisture in the air to create snow, ice, from (And as a side effect the user can use the snow, and ice releases)
17. Ice shaping - the user shapes ice or snow into armor that can be as hard as steel or into different shapes that range from simple creations to complex sculptures that can amaze the viewer, to even animals, or weapons that can be used to attack the opponent, the key to this exercise is to create the objects precisely with fine detail, while using the least chakra usage possible (This exercise helps in controlling the user's chakra)
18. Ice controlling - the user can create multiple ice constructs that are semi-sentient that can cause frostbite when they touch the opponent, the user can form ice that is resistant to heat, and if they are lucky the user can form a giant chakra entity that protects them, and can attack the opponent at will
19. Water molecular compression - in this exercise the user has to be able to compresses the molecules that make up water, making the user be able to use water constructs, and form a hardened layer of water to either shield their bodies from most attacks, or smash with concussive force that is even greater then mastering the water orb exercises.
20. Weather controlling - (Welcome to the adept level of water manipulation where your journey to becoming a master is almost complete) In order to do this exercise the user has to be able to be able to control humidity and be comfortable with manipulating water molecules, as well as being able to form massive amounts of clouds, so that the user can either make lightning storms, snow storms, rain storms, wind storms, and create tornadoes, and hurricanes, and use them at will while the key to this exercise is to use the least amount of chakra while doing so. And as a side effect of this exercise the user will be able to use their own form of lightning release and wind release
21. Blood Absorption - In this exercise the user can Absorb blood can convert it to their own, this exercise is like water absorption, only you absorb blood instead of water, and while you can absorb blood that is out in the open, you have to come in contact with a living thing whether it is animal or human to absorb blood from them, a side effect of this exercise is that the user can absorb water from any plant that is around them
22. Blood Controlling - In this exercise the user can turn their own blood as well as the blood of other animals or people into different types of weapons that the user can use to attack the enemy, the user can also do a type of healing with this exercise, and can control the bodies of other people to bend to their will, and do anything that the user desires within the bodies capacity
23. Liquid Controlling - Well since you can control blood, try this exercise, in which the user can change the properties of water into other liquid substances like oil, acid, ink, nitroglycerin, or even liquid nitrogen to name a few and manipulate them
24. Water telekinesis - In this exercise the user must make the nearby water itself around them bend to their will, and make it act like a extension of their own body (As a side effect the user can create water that can heal others, and have their sight enhanced to the point that they will be able to use telescopic vision, Microscopic vision, Blood flow vision, and Night vision)
25. Blood of Susanoo - (Congratulations, you are now at the master level, and you must be some piece of work to waste so much time controlling your water element, like the Air master does for Air) In this final exercise the user with all their accumulated experience can summon for brief amounts of time the true form of the Yamata no Orochi as well as a weak shade of Susanoo to fight for them (Legend of the Millennium Dragon), which can also heal people and purify them of demonic taint.
Now here is what the Battle Wolf summoning clan roughly looks like, as well as how much chakra each classification of them it will take to summon, along with what the hierarchy is like. And a few other bits of general information about them.
Battle Wolf Size, Hierarchy, and Chakra cost.
Newborn: 1 meter by 2 meters - Low chunin amount of chakra
Cub: 2 meters by 3 meters - Mid chunin amount of chakra
Youth: 4 meters by 5 meters - High chunin amount of chakra
Adolescent: 6 meters by 8 meters - Mid tokubetsu jonin amount of chakra
Adult: 20 meters by 22 meters - High tokubetsu jonin amount of chakra
Omega: 30 meters by 32 meters - Mid jonin amount of chakra
Gamma: 40 meters by 42 meters - High jonin amount of chakra
Beta: 50 meters by 52 meters - Mid Anbu amount of chakra
Alpha: 60 meters by 62 meters - High Anbu amount of chakra
Alpha male and female hybrids: 90 meters by 92 meters - Mid Sannin amount of chakra
Lieutenant's mate 100 meters: by 102 meters - High Sannin amount of chakra
Lieutenant (Ginesu's Beta): 110 meters by 112 meters - High Kage amount of chakra
Ginesu: 190 meters by 192 meters - Nibi amount of chakra
The battle wolf hybrids are randomly born among regular newborns, and what tells them apart from regular battle wolves is that they have colored highlights in their hair, along with different colored eyes and markings that are under them. They are also born with a power that is unique to themselves (For Example: Rias and Akeno are hybrid battle wolves)
Oh, I should also point out that the barrier/dimension that the wolves were in works like Blue grill from Toriko where anyone from the surface wouldn't be affected by Blue grill's slowed down time, and age at surface time, or in this case Naruto aged by normal time physically, and chronically, but mentally he is twenty-two or something like that.
Also Theia as I mentioned has three forms, as well as the second being that NarutoKushina correctly guessed that is inside Naruto's head whose name I will reveal either in this chapter or the next one also has three forms, and I will reveal the sizes of Theia's forms now.
Theia:
Beast mode (100% power) - Bijuuish form that looks similar to kohaku's dragon appearance from spirited away, only it is completely white and has wolf legs instead of bird like legs with the addition of dragon claws, as well as sky blue, silver slitted eyes, it also has 14 whiskers that it can freely control, and is around 250 meters high by 650 meters long, with only one tail giving it the appearance of being weak to anyone "Knowledgeable" about bijuu. Even some of the bijuu themselves will be fooled by it's appearance.
Normal mode (50% power and control) - Wolf anthro form she is most comfortable in and is the only form where her tails and wings are out, and since she was in Naruto's mind she was affected by the wolves dimension time and is twenty-two or so and is around 5'11" and is wearing something like this at the moment (h t t : / / dsngsfm . blogspot . ca / 2011 / 05 / exploring - dsng - part - 10 - katarans . html) (there is supposed to be a p after the first two t's and h) and it's the second colored picture of the female white wolf anthro you see
Control mode (100% control) - Picture Tuskiumi from sekirei only she has white hair and has sky blue, silver slitted eyes, and the black parts of her clothes are a dark navy blue color, also she is around 5'11" or so, and that she has a bust which is a little bigger than when she is in her normal mode. Lastly, a bit of her possessiveness towards Naruto in this form as well as her tsundere personality bleeds over to her normal mode
And now here is the first stage of his doujutsu the Shizengan that I'll reveal to you in different parts of the story, when the requirements for awakening the different stages come up.
Stage one: Awakening - Shizengan (Nature eye) This is the doujutsu of the shizen clan, and the hybrid mutation doujutsu of the Chinoike clans eyes along with the Tensiegan, and the Red eyes of the Mibu, along with the chakra of the Otsutsuki, and the Uzumaki clans all converging together to create the Shizen clans doujutsu. To awaken the doujutsu the user must experience a traumatic realization, that changes the outcome on how they view something or someone. Also you can tell what level the First stage is at by seeing the doujutsu's color that goes from a dull green to a bright neon green
Level 1. Increased perception
level 2. Immune to genjutsu
level 3. Can cast genjutsu through eye contact that can fool the byakugan (Also the first of four genjutsu genetically encrypted into the doujutsu called Saimin-jutsu (hypnosis) awakens)
level 4: Can hinder abilities of other doujutsu (Second genjutsu called Kiseki no mei (Miracle eye) awakens)
level 5: Sees chakra (Third genjutsu called Yume Taberu hito (Dream Eater) awakens)
level 6: Can enter people's minds (The final genjutsu called Saikokatto (Psycho cut) awakens)
To activate it the user must form a dragon seal, but with training the user can activate the doujutsu without a hand seal.
Also for those who are wondering what Kushina did while she couldn't sleep, she either was doing exercises to condition her body for Taijutsu, and getting used to her new weapon in the second basement, or in the library learning new jutsu, and deepening her knowledge of Fuinjutsu.
Finally, here is the next chapter enjoy
Chapter 3: The beginning of Academy life and a Mothers determination
Hokage's office
Silence . . . It is paradise for some and torture to others, and can both last for an eternity or shortly be killed with the softest of whispers.
For in one moment, all was silent in the Hokage's office, not even the Secretary's 'lucky' cricket she got from her superstitious mother that she named Jimini (Hypocritical much) outside the office on her desk was chirping.
Hiruzen couldn't believe what was in front of his eyes, the very boy whom he had just been thinking about was standing, not fifteen feet away, right in front of him. Along with two 'large' wolves standing on either side of him. He also saw that despite living in such a 'dangerous' place, Naruto had grown well and had the look of a professional shinobi about him, which was easy to tell just by looking at how fit and muscular he became, though Hiruzen was saddened by the fact that Naruto seemed to have 'lost' an eye in that forest, judging by the fact that there was an eyepatch that was over where his right eye should have been. Though it was odd that there was the kanji for suppression on it, but Hiruzen shrugged since he thought that Naruto had it for fashion purposes. He then looked at the boys 'lone' eye and saw nothing but cold indifference, that showed no happiness, joy, anger, resentment, sadness, fear, or even pain, but he inwardly winced when he thought that pain was a better alternative to the cold indifferent expression in Naruto's eye. But the small frown that graced Naruto's face, along with the indifferent expression in his eye at least made Hiruzen somewhat relieved that he wasn't abducted by Danzo and turned into an emotionless child drone.
"Naruto . . ." the old kage began to say, only for him to be cut off.
"If you are thinking that this is some type of a reunion of sorts, don't even bother, for I am only here to say that I wish to sign up for the Academy, nothing more . . ." Naruto said in a cold voice, not wanting to be in Hiruzen's presence for any amount of time longer than what was necessary. He didn't want to be anywhere near the man who felt that the civilians and shinobi were somewhat justified to use him as some sort of personal punching bag to relieve their anger, and frustration out on.
Hiruzen was silent for a few moments, Naruto's interruption shocking him greatly, before he managed to find his voice.
"Y . . . Y-Yes. But . . . Naruto, what happened to you in the forest, and . . . can you tell me why there are wolves following you?" he said motioning to Rias and Akeno who were giving the Hokage and his personal Anbu slight glares, making the people on the receiving end, feeling a bit nervous, and the slightest bit uncomfortable.
Naruto then closed his eye, and looked to be in deep concentration before he opened his eye and spoke, "Ummm, let me see . . .I hope I don't appear to come off as rude and all that, but I am sorry to say, that I'm going to have to tell you that I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request." Naruto said, causing everyone in the office besides him and his Battle Wolf familiars to gain a look of confusion, until he said, "Means, No." Causing Hiruzen to frown a little and the Anbu to become tense slightly.
Not caring that he refused the Hokage's question/demand, Naruto then continued, "After all Hokage-dono, it's not as if telling some secrets could cause harm to anyone . . . what with them being 'Harmless' and all that" which caused Hiruzen to flinch and recoil as if he was hit by something, while getting a saddened look on his face.
"W-Well . . . then, would you consider moving back into your home, at least?" Hiruzen asked, hoping that Naruto would go back to his families house. And saw that Naruto was thinking again before he replied,
"To answer your question Hokage-dono, I think . . . if I were to put this situation into perspective of our current society, and see that since I have not yet attended the ninja academy, nor have I graduated from said place and received a forehead protector making be by law an adult, that means I'll have to go back there, since technically I am still classified as a child . . ." Naruto said, as he placed his hand on Akeno's head. Which made Hiruzen inwardly sigh in relief at that, but then Naruto continued speaking, "However, if Kushina for any reason won't allow my friends to stay in the house. Then I will seek an apartment to live in, or a plot of land to buy and build my own house on it."
Hiruzen sighed at Naruto's condition to moving back, and saw that the two wolves had faces which looked like they would try to dare Kushina to say no, but he eventually nodded anyway. "Fine . . . If Kushina won't allow the two wolves, I will help you find accommodations. And before you meet them, I should tell you beforehand that you might not recognize them at first, for your . . . departure was . . . hard on both your mother and sister." he said, and saw that Naruto didn't even flinch or react at the news concerning his family.
However, unknown to Hiruzen at that moment, Naruto was indeed thinking about what the old kage had just said.
'So . . ., they finally realized that I actually exist and now they acknowledge the fact that I do matter to them. "Sigh," still that doesn't mean I will just forgive or forget what they have done to me so easily.' he thought, as Theia spoke up.
"You know husband, if you had left a note, I bet that they wouldn't have taken you leaving so hard." Theia said, only to be rebuked by the second voice.
"No, they would have felt even worse if he did . . . Bitch, Husband was in the right to do what he did." The voice retorted, which made Theia get really irritated.
"No you're wrong, you whore! If he would have left a note, they probably would not have automatically assumed the worst case scenario possible. And I already told you skank, do not to call my Naruto-kun, your husband! I am his real wife! Not you, you slutty concubine charlatan!" Theia shouted at the owner of the second voice, who retaliated to Theia's shouting at her, by flipping the bird at her, which enraged Theia, and once again they started to fight, and just like last time, Naruto drowned them out again.
And upon seeing that Naruto wasn't going to speak again, Hiruzen opened a desk drawer and brought out apiece of paper and began to write into it. "This letter will let you into class 201-A. Give it to instructor Iruka Umino, he's a good person. I will also let you know ahead of time that this class has the clan heirs in it, . . . including your sister."
Naruto nodded as he then approached the desk and accepted the letter from Hiruzen, which was after the old kage had wrote something down on it, and then placed the Hokage seal on it, which he then gave the letter to Naruto. Who had then proceeded to walk out of the room, with the two wolves following behind him.
Hiruzen then let out a sigh, that he didn't know he was holding as he looked at the now unconscious chunin still embedded in the wall, as well as the door that was on the floor.
"Someone please get him, and whoever else was outside, along with Hanako (the secretary) to the hospital, and have a repairman to fix the door." he ordered and the Anbu nodded, and one of them went to the embedded chunin and got him out, after struggling to do so for about ten minutes, while the others went out of the office and gathered up Hanako who had fainted while Naruto and him were talking, and the other chunin who was knocked out, then headed to the hospital.
After they were gone Hiruzen went back to doing the paperwork, but stopped, for during the time his eyes were off of it, the paperwork magically quadrupled. Making the old kage think to himself, 'How the hell, did this get here.' And then, after thinking for a few seconds, 'I curse you Minato, for taking the secret of defeating this monstrosity called paperwork to your grave!" he thought, while beginning to break down and cry.
Ninja Academy
Classroom 201-A
The Academy, one of the largest buildings in Konohagakure and located directly at the base of the Hokage Mountain. It was for decades, and still is the place where prospective ninja are trained to become genin, and where official ninja receive their assignments from the Hokage's office, which is also located in the Academy. And was also founded by Tobirama Senju the Nidaime Hokage out of military necessity, to produce shinobi for the first shinobi world war.
Now inside the Academy, is a classroom, 201-A, now it wasn't different then any of the other rooms on the first and second levels which were large and had high ceilings that were made that way, based on the theory that larger classrooms lead to expansive education, which carried over to the blackboard itself, for some reason. And placed in front of the blackboard was a podium, situated far from the students' desks and put in a position where the teacher could view everyone. But what separated this particular room from the others, was that the famous shinobi of konoha such as the Sannin, Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, other less known shinobi, and even the famous Yondaime Minato Namikaze all graduated from it. And this generations shinobi hopefuls, were inside the class, including the clan heirs, which consisted of: Shino Aburame, Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, Sakura Haruno who despite not being a clan heir, was the daughter of Mebuki Haruno the Head of the Civilian Council which was unfortunately for Hiruzen and the Shinobi Council still around, Sasuke Uchiha dubbed the "Last" Uchiha by the Civilians and Elders of the village, even though his mother Mikoto was still alive. (As for what the clan heirs and Sakura are wearing, just imagine pre-shippuden clothes on Shino, Kiba, Hinata, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Sakura, and Sasuke) Lastly in the back-left corner which was mostly abandoned since the other kids didn't want anything to do with her, was Natsumi Uzumaki-Namikaze the Namikaze Clan heiress, the friendless class loner and current dead-last due to being ostracized by everyone which included her one time friends in the class due to certain events that happened over the five years that Naruto had ran away. She was currently the tallest student in the class standing around 5'4", and her hair reached between her shoulder blades and was tied into a low ponytail, with two bangs hanging down both sides of her face. She was wearing a burnt orange, kimono-style blouse, held closed by a broad black obi that matched her black mini-shorts and black thigh high tights. Her blouse was deliberately closed quite low, revealing her sizable cleavage of her mid D-cup breasts that she had got due to getting an early form of puberty (She also beat by two size's a certain Hyuga who had high CC's by also having an early form of puberty, and whom was rather jealous of Natsumi for having a larger chest than her). Which Natsumi was proud of, and wore her blouse that way due to her mindset of wanting to be a real Kunoichi and use her natural looks as a distraction to use against Shinobi, and other Kunoichi. She also wore open toed, Kunoichi high heeled sandals, and had a pair of clear goggles (The wrap-around ones that Kaname Tosen wears) that had seals applied on them so that they wouldn't fall off her face once she put them on and used a minuscule amount of nature chakra to make them stick as well as a specially crafted Zatoichi sword that she used as a cane, due to the fact that she was now . . . blind, due to an event that happened two years previously.
And in front of the closed door of classroom 201-A was none other than Naruto, who had his hand on the knob, debating to himself whether to go in or not. Sighing to himself, he felt as if hours passed by so that he could come up with a decision, but in reality it was only a few seconds, and his decision was to open the door, so he turned the knob and with Rias and Akeno following, he walked in.
Flashback A few minutes ago
Five years . . .
It had been five long years, since that one day, that one horrible day where everything in Natsumi Uzumaki-Namikaze's world had changed. And the first sign of that change, was the following second day after the first day where she had cried her heart out, because she had learned that her Onii-chan had run away from Konoha to the forest of death because he had been neglected and felt unloved, and unwanted while also being Abused by the villagers, which she had unintentionally been a part of; by pulling pranks, vandalizing private property, to even stealing from various people with her friends or kids she hung out with and using him as a scapegoat to not get into any trouble, where when she told anyone who came up to them and asked who was responsible, she just pointed out her brother, then the person asking them would get a sudden gleam in their eyes and thanked her before sending her and whoever she hung out with on their way, but not before hearing that her bother would get what was coming to him. Which now that she looked back on the times she said that he was responsible and heard that phrase, she would often wish she could go back in time and strangle her younger self. And on that second day, out of guilt that was tearing her heart apart from the inside, she told her mother everything that she had ever done to her Onii-chan; which ranged from the unintentional abuse she gave him (by using him as a scapegoat so that the civilians would have an 'excuse' to beat him even though she didn't know that), to telling him a few times that their mother loved her more than him, and lastly that she had banned any child their age from befriending him, so that she could have all of his attention for herself. When she had finished telling her mother what she had done, Kushina had collapsed, but as she did so, Natsumi swore that for a second she saw nothing but pure hate in her mothers eyes that looked like two glowing red orbs in black pools, which from that night onward still continued to give her nightmares, before returning to their purple color.
So not knowing what else to do at the moment, she with the help of a few shadow clones, put her mother in her bed and ordered one to stay in the room to notify her of any changes in her mother's condition, then spent most of the day in her room, where she came up with two more ideas for the new taijutsu style she was coming up with, where for the first idea she had to increase her strength and speed to the point that she could send out a compressed air blade by kicking that she called Taifukikku, or use a variation with her arms that could potentially send out air blasts and had come up with the name Taifuiatsu for the technique. While for the other idea, which she based off of the fundamentals of the first idea of the taijutsu style she was creating that she had dubbed Kiru, was that she had to kick the air hard enough to jump off of it, where she could stay in the air for much longer than usual which she called Tengoku Aruku. When she woke up the next day, after experiencing her first nightmare about her mother having those red and black eyes, her clone who had been in her mothers room the whole time popped, giving her the memories of her mother about to awaken, when she got to her mothers room, and asked her mother when she woke up how she was doing, Kushina wouldn't answer her except with only a blank stare that made her want to crawl under a rock, and that blank stare which also haunted her dreams, even if she didn't know it yet, was the first sign that her world changed.
Flashback End
Inside Classroom 201-A
Natsumi Pov
Currently the Namikaze heiress was listening with a bored expression to her class' Chunin Instructor Iruka Umino drone endlessly on about the history of Konoha, which she had heard about TEN different times, for this month alone. Sure, it was informative and very interesting for her to hear about the history of her home that she grew up in, the first time that Iruka had lectured about the subject. And somewhat nice to hear the history of her village the Second and Third times that Iruka had talked about it, but as time went on, Iruka had for some reason began to speak really long lectures about the subject, and she became less interested in it, until she like the rest of the class, with the exception of a certain flat-chested, pink-hared howler monkey fangirl (Who at the moment almost every part of her being was thinking about doing something cough raping cough the resident duck-butt haired 'last' Uchiha in Konoha although his mother Mikoto was still alive and living in the village, though that meant nothing because the Civilian council, along with the Elders had constantly pampered him, giving him a spoiled rotten attitude, that coupled with his massive arrogance, elite-complex that was staring to develop, and his mindset of an avenger which developed because his Sister who he was thinking about how to kill currently, had massacred the Uchiha, when in reality she only went after the men and Uchiha elders plotting to overthrow Konoha, while a certain masked man went after the rest, except for a few that were targeted by certain blank masked Anbu and had their eyes taken, also in a very small part of his mind, he was thinking about the third legs of the male species he was apart of that he saw when he went to the hot-springs the other day, and was fascinated by them), bored to the point, that they were on the verge of falling asleep, also it didn't help that Iruka was a person who spoke in a tone of voice that made the lectures he was saying B-O-R-I-N-G, boring! She felt like, she was at the point where she was about to rip her blonde hair out of her own head in frustration if she continued to listen to Iruka's long winded lecture.
'Please Kami-sama, help me! Please give me a distraction so that I don't have to listen to this torture!' she thought, and just at that moment, while Natsumi was inwardly praying the door knob turned, followed by the door to classroom 201-A opening, making Iruka stop his lecture, and turn his head in befuddlement towards the door, then go over to it.
'THANK YOU!' She shouted with joy as well as crying anime tears of happiness in her mind, however she became shocked, and her bored expression from the 'lecture' turned to surprise, as she used her sensing ability that she was trying to hone to the point where she could 'see' everything in various shades of blue (ib4 . huluim show _ key _ art / 25894 ? size = 1600 x 600 & region = US) only without the colored woman and words with the NBC logo) with pinpoint 'clarity', that she was training her ability to try and use it on a subconscious level where she could use as a form of 'sight' and at this point she could 'see' everything in a thirty-five foot radius around her with good clarity and fine detail while the rest of her range which was up to six and a half kilometers at this point was somewhat blurry and could only use it even with her large chakra reserves for only about eleven hours a day since the technique drained her at a moderately fast rate that she could control when to use it and when to turn it off, which had evolved due to the 'event' which caused her to became blind to sense chakra that had merged with her negative empathy sensing creating something that was almost like a basic version of the Mind's eye of the Kagura technique that some members of her clan used in the past, to 'see' and sense the person on the other side of the door enter, and then her expression began to morph into shock. 'O . . . Onii-chan?'
She couldn't believe what her own sensing ability was 'seeing' and sensing for her, as she could feel the familiar emotions, as well as the extremely potent chakra reserves, that she felt were huge, and were about quadruple that of her own, (But something deep inside of her, made her believe the reserves were a lot larger than they appeared) of her own brother, Naruto. Even though it had been five years, and because of a certain 'event' that happened to make her blind where she had been depressed for weeks afterward since she would never be able to see with her eyes again, she still remembered the familiar emotions, including the presence of him. She also recognized the three scars underneath his left eye, though he was taller then when she had last seen him and a lot more muscular and beautiful which made her blush which deepened when she smelt a certain odor coming from him: a salty musk reminiscent of dry juniper, cedar, and pine wood, oiled leather, and smoke, though she was saddened that he apparently only had one eye judging by the eye patch he had over his right eye. However, she became confused as she 'saw' through her sensing ability what she thought were two 'large' dogs that looked like they had manes, enter behind him.

"Excuse me? But this is classroom 201-A, right? Because I was told to come here, to this classroom, also are you Chunin Instructor Iruka Umino?" Naruto asked, and said Chunin who had a horizontal scar on his nose, blinked in confusion.
"Uh, yes, that's right." Iruka said. "How can I help you?" He asked, wondering who the 'Teen' with the cold voice was, even though something about the boy made him think, he saw the boy before.
Naruto then walked up to the Academy Instructor and handed him the letter that Hiruzen gave him. Iruka opened it, and read the contents before his eyes widened, and his face went through several different expressions, and one of the expressions among them was anger, before Iruka's face settled on neutrality, that supported a very small smile that was strained.
"Well Naruto-san, I must say welcome back from your training." he said, while the silverette just shrugged at Iruka's gesture at trying to be friendly at him. "Now, if you would take a seat next to . . . let's see" Iruka paused as he looked around the room and saw a bunch of seats open around Natsumi his sister which was somewhat of a shock to Iruka as well as one vacant by the Hyuga heiress, Hinata and then continued " . . . ah! You can sit next to . . . Natsumi if you want, or . . . Hinata if you wish to."
Said girl, after hearing her name, began to blush, then turned a darker shade of red, when Naruto looked in her direction for a brief moment, but became sad when Naruto looked away from her and began walking in the direction of where SHE was sitting, which made her angry, and in her mind the Hyuga heiress promised to herself to make sure that she would stop, HER the lying kyuubi spawn, from making friends with the new boy, who in her own opinion was really beautiful, and hot, who greatly reminded her of the lying kyuubi spawn's brother that she still had a massive crush on (though admittedly she was a little ashamed that she allowed the kyuubi spawn to drag her into using her crush as a scapegoat), that the lying kyuubi spawn drove away.
All the while, watching this from Natsumi's seal was the kyuubi, also known as Kurama, though no one but her fellow bijuu knew that. Her eyes then narrowed behind the cage as she sensed something from the silverette, and smelled an odd scent.
'He smells like the forest, wolves, something alien to me, as well as something . . . similar to myself, and something else a certain odor coming from him: a salty musk reminiscent of dry juniper, cedar, and pine wood, oiled leather, and smoke which smells really pleasant, and his chakra feels partly similar to my own, but at the same time it's different. What is this?' She thought and just when the silverette passed bit Natsumi, an image assaulted her mind briefly, which was that of a wolf-like creature with only a single tail, fourteen whiskers, and sky blue eyes that had silver slitted pupils was staring back at her, along with another creature hidden in the first one's shadow that she could only see an outline of, which reminded her of some sort of creature that reminded her of a spider, since it had eight limbs that had some sort of mask, with a crown on it.
As soon as the image showed itself, it then vanished, leaving the vixen shocked, as she gasped in surprise.
"W . . . What was that?" She said, completely taken off guard by what she witnessed.
Outside the seal, Natsumi suddenly shivered as she felt the seal on her stomach turn cold all of a sudden and placed a hand on it.
'W-What is going on?' she thought
"It appears that the fox, or should I say vixen sensed the wolf and Her." A cold voice, suddenly said.
Natsumi tilted her head and 'looked' up in the direction, where she 'saw' her brother looking at her with a cold indifferent expression and heard the direction he spoke from which made her inwardly cringe when she 'saw' his face, though she also slightly blushed as his eye passed over her body and paused while at looking at the direction of where her useless eyes were for a second. The words he had also just said had confused her, and she wondered what he meant by that.
But before she could ask, Naruto continued on his trek with the two 'large dogs' following him were he paused and looked at the desk beside hers with a strange expression on his face, he then shrugged and sat down at the middle of the bench belonging to the desk, with the 'large' dogs following suit.

And watching him was a boy with wild spiky dark brown hair covered by a hood with a puppy in it, with slitted eyes, fang shaped tattoos, and feral features about him. This was Kiba Inuzuka the second heir of the Inuzuka clan. He had taken one sniff at the silverette, and felt in his bones that he was a threat to his 'alpha male' status. And the two wolves accompanying the silverette, which he smelt what they really were, made him feel on edge. But despite this, he had seen the way the Hyuga heiress Hinata had looked at the new kid, and was jealous of him, and promised to himself to show the new kid his place so that she would see that he was the true alpha, and show an interest in him.
Kiba wasn't the only one who was watching the silverette, as Sasuke Uchiha, the 'last' heir of the Uchiha clan, until he passed on his white DNA to at least one woman of which there was no shortage of fangirls and had a child, though that seemed unlikely as he was beginning to show a preference in men, was also watching the silverette with rapt attention, and while he felt uneasy by the aura of power that the silverette was giving off subconsciously, he was also jealous of the silverette having that power and wanted it for himself, he also felt something else, and although the feeling of a part of himself getting hard was foreign to him, it felt good.
Another clan heir, Shikamaru Nara, had a bored look on his face, but he was in fact actually studying the new student. He wasn't the only one as the Aburame heir, Shino, was also studying the Runaway Uzumaki, who at moment was gazing at the student body with an indifferent expression, and came to the conclusion that most of them were weak, and decided they weren't cut out for being a shinobi.
Choji the heir of the Akimichi just opened a bag of chips he got out of nowhere and began to eat them, but on the inside was wondering if the silverette was friendly, and in another part of the class Ino Yamanaka who was arguing with Sakura about something to do with Sasuke took one look at the silverette and stopped suddenly, and began to slightly drool at the sight of the silver-haired Adonis, and decided that Sakura could have Sasuke to herself, as she would get that glorious hunk of a male specimen for herself. Thus the Naruto fanclub was born, which made Naruto shiver slightly and feel as if something somewhat good or bad depending on the situation was about to happen in the future.
Sakura on the other hand took one look at the new boy, and just thought that he was trying to steal Sasuke's spotlight (Deluded Much), and saw that Ino wasn't paying attention to herself, and decided that Ino could have the dobe, that she newly christened Naruto, which made her happy that she could have Sasuke to herself.
"Okay everyone!" Iruka said, "Now I know that this is rather sudden, but the Hokage has assigned a new student to this class. He has been, for the last few years now no a training trip with a Tokubetsu Jonin, So, why don't you stand up and introduce yourself."
Naruto then sighed in response, at how Iruka put the figurative spotlight on him (Even though he already had it when he walked into the classroom), since the whole class' individual attention was on him, he then stood up, and began to speak in a cold voice.
"Some of you may have heard of, or remember me, but for those of you who don't know of me, I am Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze."
He said, then saw the reactions he had expected to get from revealing his name to the children of those who had tortured him in his youth. As most of the boys began to stare at him with either anger, some sort of mixture between envy and jealousy, or hatred in their eyes, along with almost half of the girls (Sasuke's fanclub that was reduced to half of it's size), which included Sasuke Uchiha, Kiba Inuzuka, and Sakura Haruno though when Naruto entered the classroom, and had walked past her to his seat, he had felt that there was something strange about her, and made a mental note to examine this curiosity of his at a later date.
He then saw that the rest of the boys and a few of the girls had neutral looks on their faces, these were orphan children of Shinobi and Kunoichi who had died in the kyuubi attack, that just thought that he was a new arrival, but were curious about him, included in this category of kids were Shikamaru Nara, Shino Aburame, and Choji Akimichi, while the leftover group of children consisted of the other girls (They were the stronger, prettier, and smarter girls that used to be part of the Sasuke fanclub, but saw the new kid and subconsciously jumped ship for the new hottie), who weren't part of the neutral group.
Among this group were Ino Yamanaka, and Hinata Hyuga who were surprised, though the surprised look that they had on their faces turned to them gaining a pained and ashamed look on their faces, before the looks on their faces changed again, and for Ino it was replaced with her and the girls of the third group gaining blushes as well as hearts in their eyes, while a few of them began to drool. Making his left eye twitch, as he saw that a fanclub for him was beginning to develop.
As for Hinata, the pained and ashamed look she briefly had, changed to a look that she gave him that was filled with . . . lust, it weirded him out, and caused him to inwardly shudder a little with disgust at seeing that look on a twelve year old girl, who also happened to be the shortest kid in the class standing at 4'7". While Natsumi was different then what he had expected, as she was subdued, and had several emotions on her face with the most prevalent being sadness. He then wondered why she was different, but decided after a moment to continue on with his introduction.
"I have very few likes, and among them are training, my friends Rias, and Akeno here, gardening, as well as meditating. I dislike hypocrites of any kind, rapists, liars, people who commit public acts of vandalism and get away from it, as well as people who frame me for no reason other than to escape punishment, as well as a few other things. Also my dream is to be the strongest Shinobi in the world, and to surpass someone who I consider precious as they were like a grandfather to me. And to show a few people what they could of had, if they hadn't thought of casting me aside for temporary fame and false friends."
Natsumi, Ino, and Hinata winced at Naruto's introduction, hearing about how he disliked liars, and vandalists, felt like a slap in the face for Ino and Hinata, since those words brought up memories of times they had done questionable things with HER as children, where SHE had dared to call them HER best friends. But for Natsumi it felt like a stab to the heart, which made her heart feel worse since Naruto mentioned that he had also disliked people who had framed him, and when Naruto said the second part of his dream, she was almost in tears, as what he said made her relive every memory, she had of her childhood, and desperately wished that she could turn back time, and stangle her younger self, for causing her Onii-chan so much pain, even if she had only unintentionally, caused him to have so much torture during their childhood. That to the current moment she still fully blamed herself for.
Iruka nodded at that, while faintly giving a smile, and was about to speak up when Naruto cut him off, by finishing his introduction.
"Also, I will let you know beforehand that I am not interested in making friends at the moment, with any of you, for I know that the only thing some among you are capable of doing right, is to stab someone else in the back, even if it meant you were seen in a positive light by everyone else . . . that you thought were close to you . . ." Naruto trailed off as he had seen some of the kids, which included a few of the clan heirs flinch, which made him mentally note that these kids were the ones that he could rely on the most if he was teamed up with them on a mission, since they seemed to have some sense of morality about them. Then he spoke up, "And lastly, to finish my introduction. I would like to say that for those of you who have wronged me in anyway, I am willing to forgive you, but for me to do so, you must be able to earn my trust and some form of my respect beforehand, so that I can know that your motives for wanting me to forgive you are pure." Naruto said, and noticed he had left the whole room spellbound, and had also noticed that some of the kids who had flinched gained thoughtful expressions in their faces for a brief moment, then noticed that Natsumi, even though she tried to hide it, had a hopeful expression on her face, as she 'looked' in his direction, at him.
"Well, . . . that was . . . thank you, Naruto for sharing that with us." Iruka said, after he mostly regained his composure, "You can sit down now."
Naruto nodded, then sat back down, as Iruka continued with his lecture.
A Few Hours Later
The rest of the school day went by really slowly in Naruto's opinion, as the students began to leave the Academy. He and his familiars were heading for the gate, and were almost at it after getting away from his new fanclub and narrowly escaping a hormonally driven Hyuga who experienced puberty early, when a gruff voice got his attention.
"HEY!"
Naruto turned, and there stood the second heir of the Inuzuka clan, giving him a death glare, though it was quite amusing to him as the kid was almost a foot shorter, and whatever image he was going for, was kind of ruined because he had to stare up at Naruto's face.
Deciding to humor the Inuzuka, since he provided him some amusement, and that SHE taught him to be polite when meeting someone for the first time (And by taught, Naruto meant he had the manners to be courteous when meeting other people for the first time, pounded into him), Naruto asked "What can I do for you?" And Kiba's glare, if it could got more intense, which only made what the Inuzuka was doing a lot more amusing to Naruto.
"Stay away from Hinata!" Kiba growled out, and the silverette's left eyebrow rose at that.
"May I inquire as to . . . Why?" Naruto asked, and saw that the Inuzuka's face became red with anger at that, he was also quite confused about why the Inuzuka told him to stay away from Hinata as he was pretty sure, he didn't want to be anywhere near the mostly obsessed Hyuga.
"JUST SHUT UP AND STAY AWAY FROM HER, WOLF BOY!" Kiba shouted, and attempted to march up to Naruto and hit him, but stopped and paled as the two 'large' wolves began to bristle and growl at him. Though what was strange about this, was that Kiba's face didn't pale because of the wolves, no he paled in fear because of the intense stare that Naruto was giving him, and the image of a giant hybrid between a wolf and a dragon which was larger than the kyuubi was staring at him for a few seconds before vanishing.
"I wouldn't shout at me if I were you." Naruto said in his cold voice, but his voice had an added edge to it, causing Kiba to pale even more, and begin to leak liquid down his pants. "My friends are very protective of me, and if anyone tries to do more than speak or be friendly to me, they will personally take it as a threat and attack."
The Inuzuka who then tried to save what remained of his reputation, as the two were beginning to draw in a crowd of students gave Naruto a glare, and a 'Humph!' but it was a rather weak glare that looked rather comical, and when Kiba tried to grunt at him it came out more like a whine, which made the students begin to laugh, as the Inuzuka stormed off, at a moderately quick walk, while deluding himself to believe that he was the 'True Alpha' and not because he made himself look like a fool in front of his fellow students, while pissing his pants. Something that his mother and sister teased him about when he arrived home later, which made his anger for the Silverette pretty boy grow to new heights.
Naruto then sighed, something he had found himself doing a lot lately, and found himself randomly remembering what he knew of the rivalry between dogs and wolves. Which was that while dogs were loyal to their masters and would die to protect them, wolves had no masters, and were loyal only to the pack, and looked after one another like a true family should.
In his own view, Naruto believed that dogs and wolves were like Samurai and Mercenaries in a way, the dogs were the Samurai who served a lord until their last breath, while most wolves with the exception for outcasts, were like Mercenaries, the reasonable ones anyway, who fought had to earn a living to feed their family.
"How dare that mutt shout at you!" Rias spoke mentally as she watched as the Inuzuka began to run back to where he lived. "If I ever hear him shout in that tone of voice to you ever again. I'll hunt him down and -"
"Rias just drop it . . . " Naruto replied to her. "We're not here to indulge the children by picking fights with them." Which was somewhat ironic since Naruto was the same age as Kiba, but at the same time he was older mentally so he didn't consider himself as a child, and was above stooping to their level. However if Kiba and people like him were to suddenly get let's say pranked and no one found out who the culprit behind the pranks was, well that was another story altogether, and hypothetically speaking he also might have developed a few genjutsu which he developed when he was bored, that he could use which were a barrel of laughs to anyone but the victim and he believed that Kiba was a fine first let's say test run to use them in certain combat situations that he promised to hypothetically speaking prank him the next day in class. After all this was just speculation of course, it's not like he had tagged the clueless Inuzuka with a timed fart seal that might or might not go off tomorrow at lunch time when the Inuzuka was in front of a lot of students, which would signal Naruto to start the Genjutsu's to payback Kiba for what he just did by yelling at him, and disturbing his inner peace. But then again this was just speculation, so who knows.
Rias then sighed and gave Naruto a look, "Even though you hardly show it, you're too nice for your own good. You know that, right?" she said, and Naruto smirked
"Would you girls prefer if I was a complete and total sadistic ass of a dictator who wanted nothing more than the destruction of the entire Elemental Nations as well as Natsumi and Kushina? Rather than what I became today, and am now standing before you." He said, and Rias, Theia, as well as the other being inside of him whose name was Midna (round of applause for NarutoKushina), all thought of that, and all three of them became unnerved at the image of a insane, sadistic Naruto causing Death and Destruction everywhere.
"Not really Naruto-kun/Husband . . . " they each said in a deadpan tone, causing Naruto to chuckle slowly. However Akeno on the other hand was softly giggling in a perverted manner as she imagined her ultimate fantasy where a Sadistic Naruto kills an opponent in inhumane ways, then to her surprise grabbing her in her future human form, where then he would rip her clothes off of her defenseless self, and ravage her body for hours on end, and while doing so, he would use all manner of different 'tools' to do so, which might and might not include whips and chains.
"Besides girls, . . . I might or might not use THOSE GENJUTSU'S tomorrow as payback for what he did and might use him as a test run." he said and all four, which included Akeno, had paled (as what he had just said had ripped Akeno out of her sexual fantasies involving him) for a few seconds before they started to giggle and then burst out laughing, as they imagined what the Inuzuka might have in store for him, though Rias and Akeno had to struggle to keep there composure so as to keep the illusion that they were just 'regular' animals.
Tap . . . Tap . . . Tap " . . . O-Onii-chan?" Naruto blinked as he looked and saw Natsumi approaching him, with a nervous look on her face, as if she was expecting to get hit if she said even the smallest of wrong words to irritate him. But, although she unintentionally was the cause of him getting tortured so much in his childhood, he wasn't the type of guy who was a complete douche bag and would hit a blind person out of combat, least of all his sister.
"What do you want . . . Natsumi?" he asked, and his younger-twin fiddled with her hands while holding onto her Zatoichi with them, before she managed to speak.
"W-W . . . Would you . . . would you like to . . . umm . . . walk home with me?" she asked, while she 'looked' at the ground and found it interesting. Naruto gazed at her for what seemed like an Eternity before sighing as he shook his head. ". . . Do what you wish."
Her head then perked up at that.
"But . . ." he trailed off, while watching how she a supposedly blind person that he had noticed her condition when he had walked by her in the classroom acted as if she was 'seeing' him, and came up with a theory on the spot, and raised his hand, which she reacted to, proving his theory correct, that she had discovered an alternative way to use a form of sight (no matter how primitive it was to him), without the use of her eyes. Naruto then continued what he was going to say, "Don't cling onto me like some sort of . . . parasite, or else my friends will mistake you as a threat."
Natsumi deflated at the parasite comment, but she nodded anyway as she moved to walk beside her brother, the two 'dogs' watching her with wary but calm gazes, silently judged that she wasn't a threat. Natsumi was tempted to pet the closest one to her (Which was Rias), but the look it had gotten in it's eyes prevented her from doing so.
The two Uzumaki children then left the Academy Grounds, heading in the direction of the Uzumaki-Namikaze clan home.
Half an Hour Later
It had been thirty minutes since they left the Academy, and Naruto had noticed how some of the people in the crowd of those who were glaring hatefully, now acted towards him as they gave apologetic bows, greeted him as if they hadn't done anything wrong, or looked away from him in shame, and lastly their were the ones who stared at him, not with hate, but in jealousy because of how nearly every single civilian woman to Kunoichi was looking at him with lustful stares like he was a prime piece of meat, and were massively blushing, while some had hearts in their eyes, and others had blood leaking from their noses (Which reminded him of how the female battle wolves had began to react around him recently, as well as the males who were mated to some of the females as those males were more friendly around him for some reason saying that he was the cause of them having a fun time with their mates or something like that). Including the fact that when they looked at Natsumi, their eyes filled with barely concealed anger and hatred.
Natsumi noticed it as well, but didn't comment seeing as how she got used to it. And remembered, that this change in personality that the residents of the hidden village of Konohagakure (That she started to dislike greatly) did, had started after Naruto had left the village, and that the cause of their change was when the Known Truth of what actually happened on October the 10th, twelve years previously which to Natsumi, that ever since she could remember, was a joyous celebration of her father's triumph over the Kyuubi and was also her birthday, had turned into a horror filled walking nightmare that was in her own definition hell on earth, where the civilians and Shinobi had removed their emotional masks of being a peaceful, happy people who looked after one another, to show their real faces, that she was sure she had experienced only small part of what Naruto had to endure for so many years, alone. Was revealed to the village a week after the Civilian Council was suspended indefinitely from council meetings, and banned permanently from shinobi affairs while Kushina was put under house arrest. Which was about how the Sandaime confessed to everyone in the village about how he and Kushina had lied to them about the Kyuubi being sealed into her brother, and was instead truthfully sealed into her.
And when the truth was revealed, only a small amount of the shinobi who hated Naruto, and some of the civilians that equaled a mere thirty-five percent became depressed after that, and of them a very small portion around two percent of them even committed suicide by seppuku.
Of course, there was still a huge amount of Shinobi, and Civilians about sixty-five percent of the village who still saw Naruto as the fox wanted him dead at the time, which to this day they still do, but back then when they had been told the truth, the people in their anger chose her as their new scapegoat for their pain. And at first, it was only glares and them whispering behind her back whenever she left the compound, but then all the kids she used to hang out with, including her friends left her, believing their parents' lies about how she was the Kyuubi incarnate and at the same time she also experienced the first of many times where she was forcefully kicked out of a store. Then after that, three years ago at exactly the same day, and month, where she had lost the use of her eyes a year later, a mob attacked her for the first time and while she was strong enough to handle the Chunin in them, the Jonin were another matter entirely also along with various rumors that sprung up about her from some sources (Ino, her mother the Yamanaka clan women, and a certain pink haired howler that was the head of the now less powerful Civilian Council), and some bribes that exchanged hands most of the thirty-three percent of the population that didn't hate her brother and didn't mind her, had began to hate her.
It wasn't until about four months ago or so that the mob attacks had stopped altogether for some reason, and everyone just settled for glaring hatefully at her, but even so, she avoided everyone and mainly stayed in the compound, but thankfully, not many people were out, however she still didn't let her guard down.
It took fifteen more minutes, until they had arrived at the front gate of the house and after passing through it, which made Naruto inwardly thankful that even though genetically he was mostly no longer a Namikaze in the traditional sense, the blood seals on the gate still let him through, which made him believe that the gate opened because of his Uzumaki blood. Then, the two twins, and the wolves, which were familiars of the older looking twin arrived at the front door.
Naruto then took a deep breath, which he let out in a sigh, knowing that their was bound to be some sort of commotion when he walked inside, and it all depended on his mother would react when she saw him.
'Might as well get this over with sooner, rather than later,' he thought as he stepped up to the door, and turned the knob.
In the house itself, Kushina and Mikoto were still talking, and Kushina was telling the Uchiha Matriarch about how she could've done a lot different and better with Naruto, with the Uchiha trying to assure her, that although what she did was horrible by most people's standards, she still regretted deeply, doing what she had done to him. Still, Kushina felt deep down that instead of being a favorist bitch, which she had come to the realization sometime ago that she was, she should have done something . . . anything more for him, and had no one to blame but herself.
The two heard the door open and Kushina realized how late it was since Mikoto had come by and had began to speak with her, and thought that Natsumi must have gotten back from the Academy. Which made her remember when her daughter became blind . . . that had been a stressful period for the both of them. And Kushina didn't know what she would have done if it wasn't for Yugao taking Natsumi under her wing as a temporary apprentice, and teaching her how to use a cane sword for a reactive/defensive Kenjutsu style, that also incorporated the use of some offensive techniques to balance it out, and had also helped Natsumi get over her handicap and used to her new condition, by teaching Natsumi how to use her hearing, and touch to get around and react to objects near her, as well as to help Natsumi get over her depression that she developed because she would never be able to see her brother, mother or anything again. Though it was a happy day for Kushina when her daughter had figured out how to use her evolved chakra sensing ability, as a form of sight to see which her daughter was extremely happy about since she could continue with her Taijutsu training to use her personally created Taijutsu style, that was still missing a few techniques to make it complete. Also when Kushina's house arrest had been lifted early, due to good behavior, the first thing she did was to secretly track down the ringleaders of the mob that took her daughters sight away, and brutally murdered them as a message, which somewhat worked, but to make sure that the people of Konoha would completely stop, she with the help of Mikoto, and Yugao went after the ringleaders of every mob attack that happened to Natsumi, and like the first time, Kushina along with the duo made sure to leave the bodies of their victims intact with as much damage as possible without them being connected to the crime scene, to leave a message, which bore fruit four months ago, which the message was for everyone to leave Natsumi alone.
She was about to say a greeting to her daughter, but stopped when she saw that Natsumi had entered the living room with a look that told her, that Natsumi was being apprehensive about something. Mikoto noticed it as well as she blinked in confusion.
"Kaa-san, . . . Mikoto-oba . . ." The young blonde had began to say nervously, now making the two women more confused.
"Natsumi? What's the . . . mat . . . " She stopped and her eyes widened as she spotted someone come out from behind the wall in the direction that led to the front door to stand beside Natsumi. A person who she had never seen in a long time, and was just talking to her best friend, and part-time pillow friend Mikoto about, now grown up, and dressed like a true Shinobi. The same silver spiky hair that was on the tame side, that had white highlights, and red tips, royal purple eyes, three vertical scars underneath the left eye that extended to the left ear, and though they were fainter than she had last seen them, six thin whisker shaped silver birthmarks, with three on each side of his face.
She then noticed the differences, he now had auburn highlights here and there in his now shoulder length hair, an eyepatch over his right eye which to her could only mean he had lost it, which made tears begin to well up in her eyes, but she forcefully put them away so that she could see the rest of him, and saw that his left eye now had two teal rings in it, also that the pupil was slitted. His cheekbones were slightly raised higher than when she had last seen him, which made him even more beautiful in her own opinion, she then smelled some type of musk emitting from him, that was really pleasant to her, enough so that her cheeks began to gain a healthy red hue to them, and lastly she noticed that he was taller than Natsumi by a good four inches, making him look like he was in his mid-teens.
Mikoto was also in the same boat as Kushina, when she saw her best friend's lost son, now standing right there in front of her, standing right beside his sister. Only, when she had smelt the musk emitting from him, in addition to blushing, Mikoto began to feel a sensation she hadn't felt since the last time she and Kushina released their pent up sexual frustrations with each other a few years ago, as her nether regions began to get warm, making her blush get even redder from embarrassment, that just by looking at and smelling the musk emitting from her best friend's son, he could without doing anything, begin to turn her on. And to distract herself from doing a hasty decision like for example jumping the silverette then and there, she took notice of the two 'large' wolves standing at his side. Admittedly she was a little nervous at the sight of the two Apex predators, but right now, her main concern was for Kushina, whose tears had returned, and were about to spill from her eyes.
(I'd Like to thank Bcsclaymore for allowing me to use parts from their fanfic titled Namigakure which the parts are in chapter 6 somewhere)
"N . . . Naruto?" Kushina asked, her voice barely above a whisper as she slowly began to approach her son. "I . . . I-Is it really you?"
Naruto didn't say anything, but as he looked at the woman who bore him into the world, he saw that the Sandaime was right. Him leaving really did leave some kind of impact on her, as he couldn't help but notice that she was now 6'0' even, her crimson hair had gained some white highlights and white tips and had also grown to her calf's from it's previous length which was a little below her waist. Her hips were wider, and overall she was now more muscular, but still kept her womanly form. Also her breasts grew from the FF cup size he had last seen her with, to a huge pair of solid mid J cups that defied gravity, and that her skin was paler, but still kept a slight tan to it, and he also saw faint shadows under her eyes that were now more of a dark magenta than purple with slightly slitted pupils which showed that she hadn't slept much for a long time, she also looked a little thinner, than when he had last seen her.
"S-Sochi . . ." he heard her sob, and when she was close enough, her tears began to fall freely, she then rose both hands shakily to her son's face and placed them on each cheek "M-My baby . . . " she uttered out as she began caressing each cheek with her thumbs before rubbing the skin of his face down to his neck. Her tears then began to stream down her face as she continued her probing.
Naruto didn't do anything to stop her as he watched as she eventually moved her hands down his body to gently caress his chest and waist though his clothes, which felt surprisingly good. And although he was indifferent to her, and his trust with her was mostly gone, he could at the very least allow her to do what she was currently doing. And like he said during his introduction at the classroom, if she proved herself enough to regain his trust and earn some of his respect, that he used to place in her as his mother, (and even though he said he didn't hate her for doing what she had done to hurt him when he was younger he didn't forgive her for what she did), then he would forgive her for what she had done.
She then stopped a few minutes later, satisfied that he really was standing before her, then in a voice that broke as she looked into his face, said "Kami, it is you!" And immediately threw herself into him and started sobbing and wailing loudly into his chest, soaking his vest and shirt while she threw her arms around him, and clung to him as though he was her very lifeline. She tried speaking, but her words were unintelligible. She allowed her legs to collapse, dropping to her knees and sliding down his body. She was now crying into his stomach, while still uttering words that were incomprehensible through her tears.
And when Kushina threw herself into him, Rias and Akeno looked as if they would attack her, but Naruto told them telepathically to not do anything, as he let his mother hold onto him. Though he was slightly bewildered, by what she was doing. It was then that he noticed Mikoto who was both smiling and crying at the same time. She simply nodded at him, and looked at Natsumi who did the same thing and got the gist of what they were telling him to do.
So reluctantly, and to make sure he wasn't a complete jerk he knelt down to one knee while maintaining Kushina's grip on him, and wrapped his own arms around her. Kushina feeling this, clung to Naruto even more tightly and began to cry louder. And after a few minutes, she pulled her face out of his chest and rested her chin on his shoulder, and brought one of her arms behind his neck and held him to her by the back of his head.
"I'm so sorry . . . I'm so sorry . . . " She kept repeating to him over and over as she got quieter, her energy leaving her upon having cried so much, and so hard.
So after letting Kushina hold onto him for some time, he moved to let go of her, but stopped when she cried out "NO!" and clung to him even more tightly.
When he looked at her with confusion and slight apprehension, she then explained her action, "Please . . . baby . . . just hold me for a few more minutes. I don't want you to let me go yet, and I don't want to let you go, either."
He didn't fully understand her request, but nonetheless acquiesced with a slight nod. Kushina then leaned into him even more as he gently tightened his hold on her. He felt her hands then begin to roam his back and come around his chest, just rubbing both clothing and skin. And in a corner of his mind, he couldn't help but notice how the feel of her huge breasts were pressed up against his chest, and wondered why she wasn't wearing a bra, since he could also feel her hardened nipples pushing against him as well, which was something that he had never paid any attention to whenever he had received a rare hug from her before he left.
He then inwardly cursed his wolf-like instincts for being in the presence of a prospective alpha mate as his body started to react, especially a certain part of his anatomy on the lower half of his body, when she started to get more affectionate with him. She kissed his face several times, and he twice caught her licking her lips after kissing him. She also buried her face into his chest or into his hair several times, inhaling deeply as if to take in his body's smell, which she actually was doing since she couldn't get enough of that pleasant musk emitting from him. It also didn't help that she was wearing a knitted short sleeved indigo sweater dress with a v-cut that had a black belt with a buckle on and reached mid thigh as well as beige stockings, which revealed all of her curves as well as her toned legs and arms, as well as showing a large amount of her cleavage with some sweat running down it since it had been a particularly hot day out. He had also seen the 'Tattoos' on her right arm and left leg.
'What in the world is she doing?' Naruto wondered, confused by her actions, though he made no move to stop her. Eventually she pulled back a few inches and brought both of her hands into his hair, gently strumming her fingers through it while also clenching her hands in it as well. She did this while putting his head down towards hers, and touched her forehead to his own.
Mikoto and Natsumi both noted the confusion on Naruto's face, as did Kushina. She was still shedding tears, though she wasn't crying vocally at this point anymore.
Seeing his confusion, Kushina explained her actions to him once again, "I'm sorry . . . this must be rather strange to you . . ." And Naruto nodded in agreement seeing as he had never seen this kind of behavior from her, when he was growing up before he had run away, which kind of reminded him of Ginesu-jiji's Guinness Search but much weaker and different but before he could think further on it, she continued, "This just helps me get to know you, that's all."
"Hunh?" Naruto asked, being no less confused than he was before.
"What she means, Naruto-kun . . . " Mikoto (who had used the kun suffix subconsciously) elaborated with a smile and drawing his attention towards her again, " . . . is that she is very sensuous. This is one of the ways in which she can familiarize herself with you - she learns through her senses, much like the same way that you do through your body. What you feel like, your scent . . . even how you taste, if she can get away from it - these are things that stand out to her about people. This is her first step in really trying to get to know you."
Naruto looked back at Kushina who confirmed Mikoto's explanation with a nod. She then brought her hands from his hair to his face and started caressing his cheeks once more, this time using the whole of each hand instead of just her thumbs. The expression on her face was still one of desperation, though it was milder now.
Naruto than gave a very faint, soft smile, and closed his eye as he let her go while standing up. With Kushina responding in kind and stood up, but had not yet relinquished her hold on him.
He then sighed as he opened his eye, and for the first time, since he arrived in Konoha, "I know you don't want to hear this from me . . . but at this point in time, I can't trust you, or Natsumi." he spoke in a slightly warmer tone of voice, than his usual cold one, while Kushina just shook her head as she still held onto him.
"It doesn't matter." She said, 'You're back home, and that's all that matters to me."
Naruto blinked at that, he had expected some type of confrontation from her, but she surprised him by doing the complete opposite of his expectations, so lost was he in his thoughts over it, he continued to let Kushina hold onto him. And after a few minutes, he came to the conclusion that many expectations he had regarding her would be broken over the coming years, simply by living in the same house as her. Which made him inwardly sigh, since it looked like Rias, and Akeno and him would be staying in the Uzumaki-Namikaze clan house for the foreseeable future.
And unknown to Naruto, Theia and the second being inside of him known as Midna, were watching the whole thing, and couldn't but smile to each other, as they felt the love Kushina had for her son through him. They knew it would take a while, but from what they saw of the Kyuubi's memories, Kushina was a very determined woman, and would do anything in order to win her son's trust back.
However, what concerned them was that they felt, and smelt something different from Kushina when she had threw herself at him. And what they noticed, was that Kushina was no longer fully human, but something else, that the closest thing that they could compare it to at the moment was a hanyou of sorts where Kushina was currently two thirds human, five sixths of something that smelt like the Kyuubi, and one sixth of something that smelt similar to a demon but much stronger.
They didn't want to trouble Naruto with this information at the moment, so they both decided to just watch as a mother was reunited with her son once again.
Unknown Location That Night
After five years of slumber, IT had woken up, and IT finally knew how it came into being, as well as what it had been disgusted by, and IT also figured out where it was. And to start off, IT ha learned that it was the manifestation of Sakura Haruno's inner potential, and that she had manifested when she was disgarded by Sakura, when she had started to become a fangirl in favor of being a serious Kunoichi. Second, was that the manifestation of Sakura's inner potential now knew that it was disgusted with how the person that she manifested from turned out, in fact she was so disgusted with Sakura's existence that she had chosen to give herself a new name, Ringo. And lastly she learned that she was in the deepest part of Sakura's subconscious mind, where everything related to Sakura's common sense was thrown into.
It was also in this place that Ringo, also found out that she had not just been created solely from Sakura, but she had also partly manifested, because of the chakra of a silver haired boy, who had helped Sakura and gave her just a tiny bit of his chakra, when she was just a little girl, and was bullied by several kids, in which he had saved her, and upon seeing a cut on Sakura, he not knowing what else to do since the villagers hated him, had given Sakura a tiny portion of his chakra, which had the side effect of not only healing Sakura, which the silver haired boy intended, but also allowing Ringo to be created, manifest and awaken some years after that event had happened. It also caused Ringo to gain a slight interest in the boy, which turned into infatuation when Sakura's most recent memories of the boy whom had grown into a gorgeous stud in her own opinion, that Ringo found out was named Naruto, had introduced himself to the class.
Ringo, then thought to herself, that if she could somehow get Naruto's attention, then maybe he might somehow be able to help her get out of Sakura . . . she then began to think of what he might accept for helping her to get out of this disgusting place which was Sakura's head . . .
And done, okay this chapter was a tough one to write out, hopefully the next few chapters won't be as long
