Chapter 09

Projectiles

Disclaimer:

I do not own Naruto or the characters. The only characters I own the ones that will be listed at the end of the chapter. This story is a rewrite of an older story that I had posted called 'Fallen Angel'. It was made and the character was a huge Mary Sue. Despite having gone away from writing these characters, I wanted to keep true to the story so the character may seem (at least in appearance) to be a Mary Sue. This is also going to be hugely comedy based, though serious times will be thrown around.

Rated M for violence, language, graphical depictions of death, and other things.

I hope you enjoy reading this and don't forget to leave a like and review on how you think I can improve on this story, or my grammar, as I still have a lot to work on. Thank you!


By the time Gai came back from his mission, he was probably surprised to see that I had a collection of new books. I was flipping through one about two ninja lovers from different villages when he came back home. Keep in mind this book was made for teens, so it didn't have any erotic content inside.

"Katsuko, where'd you get all those books?" Gai asked and I looked up at him. It had been, as he said, three days. Three days too long. It was nighttime already and I had finished all my work and had been waiting for him to come home. The moment he did I couldn't help running up and hugging him.

I totally didn't miss him.

"Kakashi got me some books. Welcome home." I answered his question and managed to give him a cheerful hello as he returned the hug.

"That was unexpected of my rival, but a kind gesture. Want to see what I got you?" Let me guess, more weights? That seemed to be a common theme of what he bought me. Still, I was curious to know what I had gotten.

"What?" I asked while giving him a huge grin, waiting ever to patiently for him to just come out and tell me.

"More weights." He said as he held up some of the weights and I couldn't help but laugh as I had totally expected it.

"Thanks, Gai," I said and we were quick to put in the new weights. I nearly fell from it, though. This had been more than I expected.

"Gai…what are my weights up to now?" I asked and the number he gave me made me pale. I was at about one thousand pounds. I was seven. The ninja world was a crazy place to be in.

It had taken me two months this time around to get used to the weight. Normally it would take me about a week or two, but never any more. Whatever he did was slowly killing me since I was once again last in physical education at the school.

I had begun to think I would never be able to handle more weights until a beam of light came shining through.

I had been called out of class and was sent to the Hokage tower, where Gai, the Hokage, and Jiraiya were. I smiled at the sight.

"Gai," I said while running up to him. I was beginning to realize I was becoming attached to the man. Almost like he was my father. That couldn't be it, though. I couldn't be getting that sentimental.

"Hello, Katsuko," Ai said while ruffling my hair and I turned to Jiraiya that seemed confused that a seemingly normal kid would want to be anywhere near that man.

"So what's going on? Why's Jiraiya here?" I could only assume that the moment Gai had come back he was briefed on the situation at hand. Jiraiya coughed and got our attention.

"I called you here because I finished the seal," Jiraiya explained and I perked up. The thing that would let me use chakra to enhance my fighting abilities? Oh, golly I couldn't wait!

"Where's the seal going? How is it going on?" I asked quickly, far too quickly as for a moment I wasn't sure if they had even heard me. After a second, though, Jiraiya answered me.

"Typically a person has a chakra system throughout their body, however, you don't seem to have one. The seal I made can replicate a chakra coil system, so we'll have to put the seal on the center of your body. Just because this will give you a chakra system, you still won't have any chakra of your own. You'll need to learn how to utilize nature chakra in a different way than how I do." Jiraiya was speaking and everything was making my head spin.

"So, as you said before, Justus are a no go…right?" I asked and Jiraiya nodded before adding on something.

"Unless you somehow manage to become a sage that is." Judging by how the Hokage, head honcho of the village, had to wait months for this sage guy to pop in…I could only assume they're a big deal and I probably wouldn't reach that status ever.

"Okay, let's do this then…are we going to be doing this today?" I asked while looking over at Gai and then back to Jiraiya who only nodded.

So the first part of putting on the seal to me had been fairly simple, though a bit embarrassing. I was given something to help me cover but my torso and chest had to be exposed.

The first two markings both went onto each of my temples. They were words or something, but I could only go off feeling. Another was right where my heart was.

Then you had the big one. It was this swirl shape right on my stomach that had words and symbols all around it. Confusing, yes. I didn't know anything about…fuinjutsu I think they referred to it as.

Once all the markings were in place came the not so magical part. It was actually the painful part. I'd admit I don't remember a whole lot, as I blacked out from the pain. All I remember is that it felt like there was a fire in each of my veins and my lungs felt like they were collapsing.

Then it all went black and I felt like I was floating. There was a buzzing all around me, but that was about it. Then I began having a weird dream again.


Pacifist of Genocide?

How is one supposed to respond to something like this? Especially when you don't know the full story.

Benevolent or Malicious?

You need to choose one soon. Time is ticking away. Your choices will soon start taking effect on the world around you.

Angel or Demon?

You'll soon have to make your choices and make them wisely.

Life or Death?

It's all resting on you.


"Bawls." I said as I rolled out of bed and hit the ground. This was not a good idea, as it sent a jolt of pain through my body and I groaned in pain, rolling over to my back.

"Katsuko!" I heard a familiar voice and was enveloped in the arms of my guardian, who seemed to be a bit shaken up. I blinked a few times and realized I wasn't in my room, instead, I was in the ever so familiar hospital room.

"How long was I out?" I said as I pat Gai on the shoulder and he separated from me and it was clear he had those overly manly tears as he had been worried about me or something.

"A day." He said and I sighed. If I had been out for a week I'd be more worried, but a day is nothing. Everything felt a bit weird, though, as though I was standing in water or something. I looked around and didn't notice anything different. Then I remembered the markings.

I lifted up my hospital gown enough to see the new swirl symbol there. So it was going to look like I got a tattoo. Jolly.

"So I can use chakra now?" I asked Gai and then I noticed someone else in the room. It was good old Jiraiya.

"I'd take it easy for a few days, maybe even a few weeks. Eventually, you should be, but your body just went through a lot." Jiraiya explained simply and I nodded.

"That felt…I don't think I'd want to do that a second time." I said and Jiraiya laughed as he probably had seen others react in the same way since he's probably done seals on others.

"Well, thanks to me you now have a makeshift chakra coil system. Nothing flowing through it until you learn how to collect the energy, but it's there alright." Jiraiya said and I looked over myself. I didn't feel any different other than that weird, clouded feeling.

"Everything feels weird," I told him, wondering if he would know what it was.

"That's to be expected. Now that you can collect chakra you can obviously feel it around you. Most of us are born with a chakra system so we get accustomed to it as infants. This is your first time experiencing it, though, not to mention you feel nothing but raw nature chakra. It'll take a while but you'll get used to it." Jiraiya talked me through and I felt a little better knowing he had expected that would happen.

"Okay then," I said before looking at Gai. I was still on the floor, as I had fallen there, and I didn't exactly feel like staying on it for much longer, "Can we go home…oh wait can I get a stuffed bunny on our way home?" I asked suddenly wanting another stuffed animal for my collection to help commemorate the day. I should get a stuffed animal for every milestone in my life. Ya, that makes sense.

"Of course, let's get you checked out by the nurses first," Gai suggested and inwardly I wanted to run the moment I was Matsuzaki coming over to me with some things in hand.

Once she had successfully tortured me during my check-up, Gai came through and I got an overly fluffy stuffed bunny that was pink. I named it Chalk.

Coming home was a relief for me. It was still day out and I all but crashed onto the couch and called Ningame over so I could tell him everything that happened. With this, a new part of my life was beginning, one where using chakra was a possibility. I was so excited about it.

Before I even knew it a year had passed since I had come to live with Gai and Ningame. I would say it was pretty horrendous with the training and all, but after doing so every day you came to look forward to those morning runs.

Not to mention school. It was actually a lot of fun. Having a lot of friends in school made it seem like you were just going to a friend's house every day. Naruto and Hinata were my main click, but I also hung out with just about everyone else, except Sasuke. I had an odd feeling he didn't much like me.

In a year, though, a lot of things about me changed. First off I became eight. Huge milestone there…not. My weights were now at one thousand and five hundred, something I didn't think I'd ever be able to possibly do. Heck, I'm sure it was impossible where I had originally come from but apparently, physics don't exist in this world.

Gai and I also found out I'm a wizard with senbon needles after practicing with them every day for months. To those who say they aren't a good weapon don't know how to utilize them. I didn't know anything about making poisons, so I couldn't fall back on that, but with proper aim and precision, you could cause paralysis or even death. Not to mention due to their slender appearance they're a bit harder for people to dodge than a giant kunai.

I'd also like to think I was pretty good at taijutsu for my age. Doubt I could hold my own against a genin, but against an academy student, I'd cream them. As long as they didn't use any genjutsu or ninjutsu. It's amazing how hard work and dedication could get you huge results since I was no prodigy in the strength department.

Not to mention my body was changing due to all the working out. Initially, I thought with all this training I'd get some massive gains and be body builder status, but then Gai said the workouts he has be do is for lean muscle since I had to be flexible and a small target. Like excuse you, my height already makes me a small target, thank you very much.

The only thing I have yet to do is learn how to use chakra. Gai said we'd have to wait for when Jiraiya was in town for me to practice safely. Sadly as soon as he had done the seal he left a week after. He said he'd be back in a year or two to check and then train me a bit, so I couldn't be too upset.

Now that I managed to explain my amazing year, I should let you know where I currently was. The first day of a new school year. Well, the morning off.

I woke up far too early for most people, but a perfect time for me, to do my morning routine. Gai was out of the village for the week (he had been apologizing to me for who knows how long since he wouldn't be here for my first day of a new school year) so I was on my own.

I did far too many laps for what was normal for a kid and then did my yoga routine and posed far too awkwardly for any human being. Made breakfast and lunch for both me and Naruto, since he never had any, and then made a mad dash to the academy where I put my stuff in my seat then went to the roof so I could watch the sun rise.

Yes, I got up so early I could do all that and still be able to sit back and enjoy the sun rising. Who would've thought I'd become a morning person?

I sighed as I just laid there, pushing the bangs out of my face. They were getting long again but I had to keep them this way so the markings on my temples wouldn't be obvious. Then I waited. Waited for just about every person in the school to be inside the building before I made my way into the class.

Despite having the same people in my class, as was typical of the school, apparently there had to be new seating arrangements. When I walked into the classroom, Iruka had just begun assigning them.

"You're late," Naruto said as he walked over to me and put an arm around my shoulder. I just smirked as technically I had been here before the instructors were. Okay, that's a lie someone had to unlock the school gates, but I was here pretty early.

"Sorry," I said and then heard my name being called and waved to him, skipping over to my new seat. Then I noticed who was right next to me. Sasuke. I almost grinned evilly at the thought of annoying him throughout the school year in revenge for being so antisocial but thought against it. Perhaps I could use this as a way of becoming friends then officially being on good terms with everyone in class.

I leaned back in my seat and watched as everyone got their seats and I had totally scored. Kiba sat right behind me while Naruto sat right next to me. Amazing. Once everyone had their seats Iruka said we can get caught up with one another so it would be out of our systems.

Immediately I turned and looked at Kiba, making the grabbing motions.

"I wanna see Akamaru," I said and the small dog yipped as he ran over to my arms and Kiba just frowned.

"Where's the love, Katsuko?" Kiba asked as though offended that my first thought was to get to hold Akamaru. I just stuck out my tongue before we began chatting.

We all got up and began wandering around the classroom to greet everyone else. I had been with Hinata when I felt a small bump and turned to see Naruto smiling a bit. I was about to say something when something happened.

As we were talking I noticed some of the guys who hadn't exactly gotten along in the past were bickering with one another. Probably over something was done. It never turned physical…or at least it normally didn't. Naruto also noticed, as did some other kids, and it must have egged one of the guys on to assert his dominance because the next thing we knew he punched the guy right in the stomach.

This would've been fine and dandy, Iruka would've broken it up after the first punch was thrown, but something else happened. Ever been punched in the stomach after eating? It wasn't a pretty sight. Projectile. All over the desk. I turned around and slammed my head on the desk I was currently hanging out around, pretty sure it belong to Hinata.

"Nope," I said, not even daring to look over at the area. Fun fact, I had this weird thing called emetophobia, which is the fear of vomit. I know it's stupid but it was so freaking gross and…thinking about it sends a shiver down my spine. Just no.

I was good at keeping fears to myself since I knew they could be used against me, but in the moment I didn't care. I was glued to that desk and I was not moving an inch. Like hell to the nah.

"Um…Katsuko. You alright?" Naruto asked while poking my side but I wasn't budging. If I was moving it would be out of the window to escape the classroom.

"I don't blame her…that's pretty gross." I heard Ino say and I nodded my head. Yes, it was gross. Totally not petrifying in the slightest.

Naruto was actually kind enough to tell me when it was all gone and cleaned up before I could lift my head again and I murmured a thank you to him. So gross. No.

Iruka came back into the classroom and instructed us to go to our seats. That's when it clicked. That guy got sick on my desk. I was pretty stubborn so if I saw someone get sick somewhere it was a good week before I could even go near that area again. So going there right after it happened…ya not going to work out.

I watched as everyone sat down in their spots and I just stood in the farthest corner away from it as I could.

"Katsuko, do you remember where I assigned you?" Iruka said as he noticed I wasn't budging and I had a blank look on my face.

"I remember I just thought that I'd learn better if I was standing today. Or sitting on the floor. You know…science and stuff." I went on about random things until Iruka was right in front of me.

"If you know where you sit then go there," Iruka said clearly losing patience as he wanted to begin the lesson and I shook my head. No way dude. Sorry, you'll have to drug me before I do that willingly.

I felt a tug at the back of my dress (Thank god I wore a partial bodysuit underneath still) and then I was in the air. My eyes widened as I knew what was going on. He was actually dragging me to my seat. An amazing feat in itself with how many weights I had. It brought me some satisfaction to see he was clearly having some difficulty.

"Hey, put me down. I ain't a puppy you can pick up and place at your will. Unhand me you heathen. I will perform Gai-chi on you! It's an ancient and very painful way to go, let me tell you that. Green spandex will be the last thing you ever see." I said as I struggled, trying to pry his hand off.

I was actually using him as a flat surface while pulling my dress from him. Then he dropped me in my seat. I could still smell it.

I paled considerably as my pulse began to quicken. Commencing panic attack due to throw up. My vision began darkening as Iruka walked away to go to the front of the class and I knew I'd pass out.

"But…someone threw up here…" I murmured and then everything went black. Hopefully, I fell backward and not on my desk.

3rd Person P.O.V

Sasuke watched at Katsuko was literally being dragged to her spot. Everyone knew the girl was a bit strange, but Sasuke really couldn't figure out why she was putting up such a fight since she was fine earlier today.

Once the almost white haired girl was in her seat, it was clear she was panicking. The blood rushed from her face, leaving her pale and she began shaking. A panic attack?

Sasuke was actually about to say something when she murmured something, 'But someone threw up here' before she fell backward. She hit the ground with a loud thud and immediately Naruto was on high alert, getting Iruka's attention.

"Iruka, Katsuko passed out!" Naruto said as he looked back and forth from his friend to his teacher. Iruka, who had clearly had enough of Katsuko just sighed.

"She's being a drama queen, let her be. She's fine." Iruka told Naruto who wasn't really believing what he was saying. Sasuke remembered how Iruka had a hard time dragging her over to her spot, and therefore he began to doubt he could carry her to the nurse's office or even the hospital. What did this girl eat to weigh so much a chunin had a hard time carrying her? She didn't look like she weighs a whole lot.

Sasuke just looked away from her, as he didn't feel like dealing with her. All she ever did was annoy him, so he saw no reason to help her out unless she was actually dying. From how she was still breathing, he could safely assume she was alive. Passed out, but alive.

By the time the lecture ended, Iruka was more than happy to announce that everyone had to meet in the courtyard for their first obstacle course. Early morning PE, just to see how they had improved over the summer. Everyone got up and as Sasuke began to make his way out, he kicked something. Katsuko.

He looked down and Naruto had also noticed his dear friend was still passed out and turned to Iruka.

"Uh…Sensei? Katsuko is still passed out." Naruto said as he scratched the back of his head, not knowing if he should just leave her there or not.

"Someone drag her with us," Iruka stated and Naruto was more than willing to help his friend out. Before he tugged on her arm and she didn't move. At all. He gave it another tug.

"Why is she so heavy?" Naruto now was trying to drag her with both of his hands, to no avail. Sasuke murmured something under his breath before assisting Naruto. When the two of them couldn't manage to move her, they realized something was off about her. How did she weight so much that two ninjas in training couldn't carry her?

Kiba soon joined in the effort and the three of them were able to slowly drag her out from behind the desk and then outside of the classroom. It was odd because the moment she was out of the room her eyes snapped open.

1st Person POV: Katsuko

"Who, what, when, where, why?" I said as I snapped awake and jolted up. My head was spinning from the sudden act of that, blood rushing or something scientific I'm sure.

"Katsuko, you're alive!" Naruto shouted at me, catching me off guard as I looked around. Sasuke, Kiba, and Naruto were all there in the hallway that was now empty.

"Uh…ya. So what happened?" I asked while looking around, overly confused. Why was Sasuke here? Kiba and Naruto made sense but not the emo kid.

"You suddenly passed out," Naruto said and I sucked in some air. That's right. Some kid got…oh god nope not thinking back on it.

"Oh really…did you guys drag me?" I asked while looking between the three of them. It looked like they had all received a proper workout or something. Figures.

"Katsuko…how much do you weight?" Naruto asked and I had to stifle a laugh with my hand. I was surprised the three of them were able to move me just themselves. They just lugged around one thousand and five hundred pounds and they were only ten. Good for them.

"That's not important." I brushed it off before Kiba looked really concerned and looked me in the eye.

"Katsuko…why did you pass out?" Kiba asked and I sheepishly scratched the back of my head, avoiding eye contact.

"That smell was horrendous," I said, and technically it was partially true. I looked over and saw Sasuke…smirking. Oh gosh. He knew. He freaking knew why I passed out.

"It was pretty bad," Naruto admitted before he turned back to me and smiled and poked my shoulder.

"The rest of the class is outside, we need to get to them. Or we could ditch." Naruto suggested and I nudged his shoulder a bit while walking.

"Not on the first day. Oh and…thanks you guys." I finally said and with that, we all headed out to the courtyard to do whatever it was that Iruka deemed we should do.


Everyone needs a fear, so why not give Katsuko a random one that I totally don't have. Ha ha ha. Ya so don't have that. There's a reason I didn't describe any of it.

So how was that time skip? Eh? Eh? Ya, I can't do smooth time skips, I'm sorry. Did anyone get the genocide and pacifist reference? Does it make more sense as to why your input will help the story? Yes, the characters moralities will be decided on the actions she takes, which is decided by you guys. We already have one vote for what will happen to Zabuza and Haku. I actually have all these rules written down that nobody other than I shall ever see on how I'm doing just, but just know there's a reason for this madness.

I'd like to have a special thank you to everyone who reviews. Some are guests so I can't properly thank them, but to Deson and Tabue2000 I saw your reviews and they mean a lot to me. Also, I agree with Deson, Haku and Zabuza should totally live. It's all up to you guys, though.

If you liked this chapter please give it a favorite, follow, and review. It really does mean a lot to me. I hope you all have a great day, toodles~!
