Chapter 4 is done. After Fanfiction decided to randomly refresh and I lost all my work, here it is!
I'm not very good at fight scenes, so these next few are going to be me trying my best, sorry if they suck
I'm also gonna start typing numbers as words. I thought it would look dumb to only do that for the smaller numbers, but it's driving me nuts looking at the small numbers as actual numbers rather than words

"Alright kiddies, the sexy and single Snake Mistress of Konoha, Anko Mitarashi is here to help with your genin test!"
Anko simply receives odd looks from Sakura and Sasuke, though Naruko and Kakashi were expecting her
Kakashi sighs and walks forward "Hello Anko, I'm guessing she passed your own odd exam with flying colors?"
Anko smirks proudly "Hell yeah she did, and now she's gonna be helping out these three by pounding teamwork into their heads. Simple, she and Naruko will be taking you on at the same time so those two can see where teamwork can get you if you try hard enough"
The masked jonin simply takes out her book and starts to read it "Come at me whenever you wi-AGH!"
She was cut short by the two friends burying their chakra encased fists into her stomach and sending her flying, speaking in synch "Don't underestimate us, not for a second!"
Kakashi catches herself after sailing through a few trees, putting her book away and smirking "Ok, as you wish"
And with that, she disappears in a burst of speed and clotheslines the girls, sending them flying this time. Or she would've, if they hadn't turned into small poofs of smoke "Damn, Shadow Clones"
Ryuko suddenly appears in front of her and puts her arm out, catching Kakashi with it and throwing her "Lariat!"
Naruko them appears behind her and kicks her up into the air using shadow clones for assistance "U-zu-ma-ki"
She then appears above her with three other clones, kicking her in the head and sending her crashing down to the ground "Barrage!"
Kakashi jumps out of the small crater a few seconds later "Ohhh-ho-ho-ho, you're so gonna pay for that Uzumaki"
"Worry about the one you can't see first!" Ryuko suddenly comes out of the ground to deliver a punch to Kakashi's head that rivaled the strength of even Tsunade Senju, sending her flying up again
Kakashi regains her wits and makes a few hand symbols "Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu!"
She sends a huge fireball from her mouth in the direction of the two friends below
They smirk and start blurring through handseals, before speaking in synch once again "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"
Twin dragons of water shoot from their mouths towards the fireball, the attacks canceling each other out and simply creating steam that blows away in the wind
Kakashi lands, panting slightly "I'll give you two some credit, you're a huge pain in my ass"
Ryuko chuckles and bows dramatically "We aim to please~"
Kakashi simply shakes her head and moves her headband up, revealing a Sharingan eye "Definitely Anko's student. I won't be holding back anymore"
"Oh cool, then we can take off our resistance and gravity seals"
Her eyes widen "Excuse me, did you say-"
She's cut off as Ryuko and Naruko glow faintly for a second, before going back to normal
Naruko smirks and pounds her fist with Ryuko's "Time for our teamwork to pay off"
They run at Kakashi, delivering punches and kicks on either side of her, though they suddenly start spinning around her as well, forcing her to cover all angles
They blur from sight once again, reappearing in front of her with the fist closest to the other cocked back and cloaked in chakra "Whirlpool Smash!"
They drive their fists forward into Kakashi's stomach, hitting her with the force of a raging whirlpool that suddenly stoped spinning and directed it's power in one direction
Her eyes widen in pain rather than surprise this time, before they gain a very pissed off look in them "Alright, that's it!"
She makes a seal-less Shadow Clone and goes to work on Ryuko and Naruko, showing just how much she was holding back by pummeling them into the ground
Once Kakashi's done, she huffs and jumps back "That's why you don't challenge a jonin without a very good plan"
Ryuko chuckles and looks up at her, her EMS spinning "And you really think we didn't? Susanoo!"
The white ribcage, spine, and arms form around her, before one of the hands picks up Naruko and tosses her at Kakashi "Surprise bitch!"
Naruko starts to spin like the Inuzuka's Gatsuga, but she's suddenly surrounded in flames as she flies towards Kakashi extremely fast "Fire Style: Flaming Vortex!"
Kakashi just barely manages to dodge to the side, getting a few burns on her left side, before a fist from Ryuko's Susanoo tears through the smoke Naruko's jutsu had made, catching her in the chest and sending her flying through trees
Ryuko can be seen panting heavily as the smoke clears and her Susanoo disappears, with Naruko in the same condition "Hey Naruko.. You.. ok? "Y-yeah.. Just feeling.. A little.. Drained"
Two hands suddenly shoot out of the ground and drag the girls into the ground up to their heads, and they watch as Kakashi comes out of a hole in the ground with an eye smile "The Headhunter Jutsu, very good for sneak attacks if you know what you're doing"
The girls pout since they were caught off guard, but soon start to smirk, making Kakashi feel slightly on edge "What's so funny?"
"Oh nothing~" "You just forgot what we were supposed to grab this whole time~"
Kakashi's eyes widen yet again and she checks her belt for the bells, only to find them gone "Oh god damn it, when did you grab them?"
Ryuko giggles "When we used the Whirlpool Smash on you" "Yeah, though we need to work on a follow up attack for that. We only just used it in combat today"
Her eye twitches as Ryuko and Naruko say that "You mean to tell me that wasn't battle tested?"
They nod, and Kakashi punches them both on the top of their heads "That would've killed anyone below jonin rank you idiots!"
They nod sadly and break through the ground, climbing out of their holes and bowing in respect "We're sorry Kakashi-Sensei, we tried our best to hold back, but it wasn't enough"
Kakashi starts to sweat a little 'That was them holding back?! Takeda what're you teaching them?!'
She simply sighs "Alright, you two have passed the test in both ways, you grabbed the bells and no doubt figured out the reason behind the test"
They nod "Yep, teamwork. Me and Ryuko have been working together since we started training, that style was something we created together, it can't be used without the both of us there, which is why copying it with the Sharingan is useless too"
Kakashi chuckles and ruffles their hair "You created a style that nobody could copy unless they trained hard under you two, good job, that's pretty sneaky"
They beam, before Ryuko starts to walk away "Well, now that that's over, I have to leave with Anko-Sensei to do some D ranks, see ya later Naruko"
She walks over to Anko and they both shunshin away, leaving Sasuke and Sakura simply dumbfounded at the display of skill, and laving Naruko and Kakashi, both of which were still injured, but healing thanks to a seal Ryuko had stuck on them when they weren't looking

Timeskip: a few weeks later
/
Things had been going smoothly for Ryuko and Naruko so far, having completed plenty of D rank missions and they had been practicing their techniques together when Ryuko wasn't training with the Fox Summons. Ryuko had even set the record for the least time taken to capture Tora the cat, who had jumped into her arms when she called for him, shocking everyone who was present, the new record was 5 minutes, faster than even the Yellow Flash of Konoha
Ryuko was currently waiting patiently for Naruko to come back, when Anko sneaks up behind her and grabs her dick through her pants "Hey there sexy!"
Ryuko jumps away from her and rolls for a bit since she panicked and didn't focus on her landing "W-what the fuck Anko?! Why are you even here?!"
Anko's smile turns into a serious look "Well, the Hokage has a mission for us. Team Seven has run into trouble on their first C rank, and it's not turned into an A rank"
Ryuko's eyes widen "What the hell happened?"
Anko sighs "Zabuza Momochi happened, and apparently he's got two friends with him"
Ryuko nods, though she seems tto be thinking about something "Ok, let's go immediately Anko, I wanna make sure Naruko's alright"
/
Timeskip: one day later
/
Ryuko and Anko had just arrived at Tsunami's house, and Anko walks up and knocks on the door "Hello? We're the reinforcements sent to aid Team Seven, may we come in"
Kakashi's voice comes from somewhere in the house "Anko, what's your favorite food?"
She huffs and crosses her arms "Dango you one eyed jackass, everyone in the Land of Fire knows that, now let us in!"
The door opens to reveal Naruko at the door, making Ryuko sigh in relief "You scared me half to death! Your luck sucks more than mine, at least I knew my first A rank mission was going to be an A rank!"
Naruko giggles and pats her head "Glad to see you too Ryuko, welcome to your first A rank"
Ryuko huffs and flicks her forehead 'Yeah yeah, shut it. Now are you going to let us in or what?"
Naruko giggles and steps to the side, leading Ryuko and Anko to the living room where the rest of Team Seven is
Anko chuckles when she sees Kakashi laying down on the couch "Looks like someone's gotten a little rusty~"
Kakashi simply sighs and gives her a dry look "You don't say?"
After some playful banter Kakashi informs Ryuko and Anko of what happened during their run in with Zabuza Momochi "Two people dressed up as hunter-nins from Kiri huh? At least now we have a two to one advantage in numbers"
Naruko smiles and nods "That's a reassuring thought actually, and not to mention how strong Ryuko's probably become after training while we were here"
Ryuko blushes slightly "H-hey, I'm not that much stronger, though I've been working on my kenjutsu a lot lately"
Anko smiles brightly at that "Hell yeah she has, she can even lift a sword as heavy as Zabuza's Beheading Sword!"
Kakashi eye smiles at that "Glad to hear we have some amazing backup"
A voice is heard from upstairs "Why bother? You're just going to die anyway if you stand up to Gato"
They all look up to see a young boy glaring at them from the stairs

Scene Change: same fight with Inari as the anime, except it's Ryuko who leaves after yelling at him
/
Ryuko is currently sitting in the middle of the forest meditating. She had sent out Shadow Clones to scout the surrounding area so she would know if someone was approaching her. She was currently trying to mold nature chakra, as the foxes had instructed her to do so, and she was doing a decent job so far since she was at least able to feel it in the forest around her
She sits there for a few hours, before one of her clones is dispelled by a girl with blonde hair, red eyes, and some very sharp fangs. She seemed to be enjoying herself while another girl with black hair and grey eyes shook her head "Who the hell were those two?.. Wait..."
Ryuko finds herself moving on auto pilot, quickly taking out a flute from a storage seal on her body, before starting to play a beautiful song she had made up from her childhood that echoed throughout the entire forest (Listen to Kaze ni Naru, but the vocals are Ryuko's flute)
After she finishes her song, the two who had dispelled her clones had shown up, panting quickly as though they had ran as fast as they could
The blonde speaks up first "Who are you? How do you know that song?"
Ryuko raises an eyebrow "I made this song myself, how do you know it? I only played it for certain people back when I was five..."
Her eyes widen as memories come flying past her eyes, memories of these same girls her age back then, along with a strong looking woman with a large sword leaning against her house from when she was little
She gains tears around the edges of her eyes as she looks at them, her EMS subconsciously activating and making them gasp "M-mina... H-haku.. You're both a-alive"
Their eyes widen as they realize who Ryuko is, running at her and hugging her "RYUKO!"
They cry for a little while, never letting go of their embrace, before Mina decides to speak up "Where the hell have you been? We thought you died when we found your house burned down!"
Ryuko smiles softly "I-I don't have much memory of my childhood, I remember a flaming beam from the rafters hitting me in the head in that fire, but nothing else. Well, until now that is, I remember you two and Zaza now"
They laugh happily and hug her again, before they suddenly stop. Haku speaks up this time "Wait.. Are you the backup for the Konoha ninja?"
Ryuko nods sadly "Yes, yes I am. It seems we'll be fighting soon"
The happy atmosphere suddenly turns to one of sorrow "You know that we'll fight to complete our mission, right Ryuko?"
She nods and smiles softly "Same here, don't hold back on my account girls"
They all smile softly, before going their separate ways to where their allies currently are
/
Timeskip: 10 minutes

Ryuko sighs as she sits on a rock close to where Team Seven was training, still thinking about what happened in the forest
Anko notices that her usually smiling student seems down and walks over, sitting down next to her "Hey Ryuko, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
She simply looks at Anko with a look she had never seen in her eyes "If you knew that your best friends were the enemy, and you may have to kill them to complete your mission, would you still do it?"
Anko sughs and pats her head "Well, I'd try everything in my power to complete the mission without killing them obviously. What happened in the forest back there?"
Ryuko looks at the ground for a second, and then shakes her head "Nothing, just ghosts of my past"
After that she gets up off of the rock and unseals a massive sword, around the same size as Zabuza's sword as Anko said, though this one was covered in seals engraved into the blade, as well as the symbol of the Nakamura clan
Ryuko demonstrates great skill with the blade, twirling it around as if it was a lightweight staff and then making great slashes with it as if it was a heavy war hammer
Team Seven watches in awe, even Kakashi observes with great interest as Ryuko practices
Ryuko suddenly looks over at Kakashi "If push comes to shove Kakashi-Sensei, I will fight Zabuza Momochi alone. Just because she beat you once and you observed her doesn't mean you can do it again, even with Anko-Sensei's help"
The jonin's eyes widen, as do Anko's, though she's the first to respond "Hell no! What makes you think you can take on the Demon of the Bloody Mist alone and win?!"
Ryuko chuckles and takes out her flute "I'd prefer not to kill her honestly, so I've been looking into different ways to fight"
She brings the flute to her lips and plays that same tune again, though this time enhancing it with chakra and making sonic waves from the volume. She directs them towards the two jonin and they cover their ears in pain for a few seconds before she stops
"There, is that enough proof? Or do I need to stop holding back~?"
The two quickly get up and yell in synch "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE!"
Ryuko chuckles and nods, putting the flute and sword away "Well then, I guess I'll take that as a yes~"
Sasuke suddenly storms over and glares at Ryuko "Teach me how to do that"
She raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms "And I'd do that why?"
He growls and grabs her by the shirt she was currently wearing "Because I'm an Uchiha, that last Uchiha at that!"
Ryuko smirks and activates her EMS "The last Uchiha, that's such a damn lie. Me and my mother are both part Uchiha, and we've gained the strongest Sharingan eyes to ever be recorded in history, the same eyes grandma Madara had"
He backs away and huffs, going off somewhere to brood and sulk
Ryuko sighs and shakes her head "I'm not gonna hear the end of this for a while"
/
Timeskip: the end of the week
/
The day has finally come, and the day has finally come. Ryuko knew that Zabuza would be fully recovered by now, and she couldn't stand the wait. She had been itching to fight her since she has accepted the mission, to prove how far she had come since she was a little girl. She had started to remember more of her childhood, and how Zabuza had taught her to use a sword, and she couldn't wait to see her again
She smiles brightly as she sees the thick mist starting to roll in, something that catches the attention of Naruko "Hey, Ryuko? Why're you smiling at a time like this?"
She looks over at Naruko with an even brighter smile, catching the massive sword that was aimed at her by the tip with her bare hand "I've been waiting for this all week, I get to see them again"
Naruko's eyes widen as she watches her friend catch the Beheading Sword effortlessly "W-what do you mean by 'them'?"
She points over to where three shadowed figures were walking through the mist, tossing the sword back to the largest one and seeing her catch it "I've been remembering my past more and more after something happened in the woods"
She giggles and decides to let the cat out of the bag "Hey! It's great to see you again Zaza!"
The figures stop cold, before the largest one suddenly shoots out of the mist and appears right in front of Ryuko, revealing herself to be a very toned woman wearing a simple tank top that exposes her toned abs, and some baggy pants "How do you know about that name?! Only one person in the world was allowed to call me that, and she's dead!"
Ryuko continues to smile, looking over at Haku and Mina, who are looking down with shame 'I guess they didn't tell her, oh well' "Well, my name's Ryuko Nakamura, I am that one person"
Zabuza growls and jumps back, holding her sword out defensively "Impossible, Ryuko Nakamura's house burned down seven years ago, she's been dead since then! I will kill you for sullying her name!"
And with a loud battle cry, she runs at Ryuko with her sword aimed for her head, before it's stopped by Ryuko's own large blade "Then I'll just have to prove it to you!"
