A/N I do not own NARUTO... There I said it so please no Being legal eagle on poor little ol' me.

ON to the story ...

Chapter 10

The room emptied out as they used the doors and the windows. Soon the source of the voice was located on a tree nearby. The army of clones that patrolled the area for their Boss had caught and strung up a young man in full shinobi sneaking gear. His head covered in a full face mask. The clones were waiting as everyone else arrived. "Hey Boss, got a live one here and guess where he was looking?" The group watched as the boy was unmasked.

"Anyone know this one?" No one answered as confused as the rest. The Inuzuka took a couple sniffs as did the nin-kun. "We got your scent. We will track it and get answers...(Sniff..sniff..sni) OH SHIT!" Both Inuzuka and nin-kun jumped to the side saluting Naruko. "Ma'am this is the one we discussed earlier." That was all she needed to hear as she reached out and grabbed his balls.

"I was told that someone was in my room and in my dresser. I was also told they laid in my bed. If that is how you get your rocks off then let me help remedy that problem." she squeezed tighter as the boy screamed. "I have been hunted, I have been beaten, cut burned, stabbed, poisoned. My last house exploded with me in it. And recently I nearly blew my fucking hand off. So please give me one good reason not to pull you into my personal torture bubble and literally peel your skin off for invading my personal space?"

The boy looked at the girl trying to tell if she was joking but the pale and panicked people around her made him believe it. "I..I was... I was dared to do it. The dare was to get a pair of panties from this place. I was told that the third floor was the best ones. I didn't go through with it I swear..." The boy started to blush heavily as he looked at the hand holding his nuts. The squeeze pulled his attention to the blond. "Then please tell me what you did do." He started to panic knowing he was going to die. After a deep breath he looked right at the woman. "I Saw the target but a scent hit me and.. And I sniffed them.. I never smelled a scent like that before and it … I sorta.. Please just kill me for my sins. I deserve nothing less."

Naruko let go of the boy as she turned to the onlookers. "Did you keep them?" "I did. I wanted to see the one who they belonged to." She sighed. "Dark told me what you did in my room and that you were dared to. So I will only make you suffer a little but I think you will do me a favor. As punishment. Girls." The clones all cheered as they cut the clothes off the boy leaving him hanging naked on the tree. "I will let you down in a couple hours. By the way. You will be doing chores around the Inn as punishment as well."

She headed in side and asked for tea as everyone stared at her. "What, he got off easy. Damn pervert took a nice pair of my panties and even jacked himself in my bed. A clone had to disinfect the whole room. Oh and Kiba...pick a room on the second floor." Every one laughed as the Inuzuka was speechless. He ran up to see what was available. "No one tell him but that kid had actually nutted when I grabbed his balls. I think he is more Masochist than Kiba."

Three hours later a clone cut the boy down and handed him a blanket. The two Inuzukas escorted him home to inform his parents of the punishment. They were just glad he was still alive. They were heard chewing him out a block away. The ANBU watching this was grinning evilly behind the mask.

The morning came and Naruko was slow to get out of bed, her clones were still active. Her arm was still healing. And her room had been fully cleaned the night before. Why was she not feeling fully rested? Her mind ran through lists and theories as she slowly headed to the kitchen. The others had headed to their homes to spend family time and even she was glad for the quiet... the scent of a male hit her as she headed to the bath area. She glared at the person till it hit her she was watching the boy from last night cleaning the toilet.

"Well this is a surprise." The boy turned and blushed before dropping his head to the floor. "Gomin, I did not mean to wake you. The other you said to start in here and...Um... do you sleep in that?" He had turned really red as Naruko looked at her night gown. The sheer fabric hid her flesh but not her curves. The woman laughed as she turned away. "Keep cleaning and stay off the third floor. If you need something else to do then ask one of the clones. OH and do not go in any assigned rooms. If you truly value your life you will obey those rules." He happily returned to the task.

She ate her breakfast in piece as a clone filled her in on the boys parents coming to drop him off personally. They also asked if she would teach him how to properly act toward women." "I think the dog boy is better at that lesson. Hey what gives with the attitude. Your becoming...tame." Naruko let her mind flow inward as she left her body on auto pilot to finish eating.

"Dark. When you told me about the boy and what he did...Was that a test?" Silence filled the space. "Did you want to see if I would react to it like I do the hatred?" Silence again...

"I see. You wanted me to see for myself how I would act in a situation that didn't involve anger at me, but from me instead. Thank you."

The darkness formed as a copy of her. "Exactly. I was showing you that you have more control and that you could do so much with out killing first. Besides we all know the clones and yourself would bitch and moan for hours about cleaning a toilet so I see this as a big win. The laughter from Kurama only added to the good mood. "Your both assholes when you want to be."

The next evening Naruko was having fun team sparring with her friends, until the nin kun started growling. Naruko turned to see 6 Root ANBU heading to the Inn. Her world froze. Her mind flashed the last attack and soon she was covered in the red cloak. Hinata used Byakugan and grabbed Shino as she shunshined. The others counter attacked the enemy ANBU. After a few seconds Naruko let out a savage growl as her body started to change. Her eyes turned crimson red and slitted, her fangs sharpened, and her very poster screamed of a demon of rage. The ANBU were distracted by the sudden swarm of bugs as the tried to get near the house. The jumped back right into Naruko's path.

The fight lasted five minutes as Naruko systematically butchered the invaders. NO one got near the bodies as the last one were rigged but this time they were all unaffected. Naruko growled at them as she looked toward the Inn. Hinata called out to her that none got near it. With deep breaths the blond released the rage and passed out. The different chakras flared around her again.

Kiba took off his coat and picked her up despite the lashing from the flares. He entered the Inn and sat her on the couch then stepped back to the other side of the room so Sakura and his sister could heal him. "Brother, I love your craziness but why did you do that?" His eyes looked at her with more pain than he was feeling. "She did not deserve to be left outside, nor does she deserve to be attacked when all she wants is happiness."

The real ANBU arrived and collected the bodies as Kakashi stayed in the hall way watching the events. He felt the anger and sorrow from the others. Naruko was lost in side her mind again but this time was different. This time she was pushed into becoming the monster everyone feared.

…..In side her mindscape...

"...Naruko...safe...home is ok...come back...Naru...NARUKO!"

'shut up. I cant be safe. They tried to...again. Why did they do this? Why can't I feel safe and happy?"

"Damn he is insane, dog boy carried you to the couch. He will be feeling those burns for a week." "What burns, what happened to Kiba?" Naruko started to fight her way out of the dark thoughts. She reached out for some thing to pull her into the real world. She called for Hinata and Kiba. Her hand felt something, no someone...two someones holding her hands.

...the Inn...

'Hina... Kiba..."

they both jumped and held on to the outstretched hand. "Come back Naruko...please come back."

Her eye slowly opened as she saw Hinata bawling into her hand and Kiba grimacing in pain trying to smile. "Welcome back. Have a nice trip?" His smile slowly faded as his eyes rolled back and he passed out. She remembers hearing Sakura cussing about reopened wounds. Then she slowly let sleep take her as the flared died away.

Outside the Hokage watched as Kakashi hand signed the outcome. Soon a female med nin slowly entered the room to help with Kiba. The twin sister looked like hell as she walked out of the Inn. The others soon follow save for Hinata who refused to leave the girls side. Kiba was stabilized and shunshined to the hospital. No one really spoke while close to the Inn but they all headed to the tower.

In the meeting room as it was bigger than his office the Genin were giving their accounts. Soon a message came from T&I. Some how Naruko's demon form had neutralized all the seals on the enemies. The had everything they needed to stop further attacks. They even knew where the extra ROOT bases were.

The month went slowly as they did more missions and after some time passed, Kakashi asked the team to meet at Ichiraku's. Naruko knew it was to keep her in a good mood but she wondered why. Dark refused to answer. So she started to head that way but detoured to a residential area. The woman who opened the door froze.

"Good morning. Could I ask you for a favor. Your son did an amazing job with the cleaning for his punishment. Could I have your permission to hire him on occasions to do it again?" The mother blinked and let it sink in. then nodded. "Great, so I have about 4 bathrooms, 21 guest rooms need dusting, and the hallways could use a good once over. Ill let you figure out what is a good pay and we can negotiate. I get very busy on missions so one of my clan friends can watch over him if needed. Well I'll let you think over any terms you have so have a great day, bye." She bowed and left as the woman just blinked.

The Ramen stand was empty besides the team and Ayame kept looking at the bandaged hand. Naruko however was lost in the heaven known as ramen. Kakashi was explaining about the Chunin exams and how multiple villages were to attend. He looked at Naruko and sighed. "Due to only visual evidence in a fraction of a second. We could not prevent Oto from participating." The room darkened as Naruko glared at nothing. (Thunk) "Bad Naruko, no ramen if you do that in here." everyone sweat dropped as the room brightened and Ayame was holding a ladle. "Gominisai Ayame-kun. I'll be good. But Oto started it." The cute pouty face caused them to relax.

Kakashi simply watched as the blond devoured another bowl. He was glad the Hokage had advised about special sealing scrolls with Ichiraku's ramen for Anti Black emergencies. And after this little show He realized just how valuable this stuff was. "Naruko, can I ask that even if they do participate..." She looked at him smiling. "Let them strike first, but show no mercy after. Fair enough?" He nodded at the deal. Soon they were filling out the forms.

The day before the big first event was filled with lots of different people and even some shinobi that stood out to Naruko. She kept watching this red headed boy with a giant gourd on his back. "Good you found one. That's another jinchuuriki. Looks like its Shukaku the Ichbi. I would be cautious, He tends to drive his vessels...insane. Worse than you have ever been." She shivered at the thought but the amount of booldlust and hate oozing off of him made her believe it.

She watched as his followers headed away from him and ran into a familiar boy. 'Oh hell, Konohamaru.' The arguing started and as the face painted on raised is fist... Blackness.

"Put him down and I release you. Hit him and you will start something you don't want." The blond appeared in the blackness with the girl and boys. "So Who did I catch in my own little bubble?"

"We are the children of the Kazekage, who are you?" The arrogant sound of his voice made her twitch. 'no killing just scare.' "That's really bad. You were about to hit the Sarutobi Konohamaru. The Hokage's grandson. Are you trying to start a war?" The girl got the message. She made sure the boy obeyed and he dropped Konohamaru. The bubble faded. "Good boy. Hamaru..head to your lessons. Ibisu is probably looking for you."

The two other glared at her as her head was turned. "You two can't scare me and the other one is better at the whole hatred and death thing." They looked at each other confused till the gourd boy appeared in front of them. "I'm Gaara, she is Tamari and the other is Kankuro. You knew I was there. But you don't frighten. I find you interesting." Before the others could gulp the blond turned and looked Gaara in the eyes. "Tell that cranky Tanuki that Kurama says to chill out. And if you really want to start something save it for the Exams." Gaara was smiling as the blond walked away.

She met up with the Akimichi for lunch and talked about the exams. She heard that most of the teams who recently hit their mission mark were going to be there. Choji was excited for it. Even Shikamaru signed after being told by his mother the consequence for not even trying. It was a Nara thing to be lazy man and very determinedly scary women. Naruko enjoyed those visits.

The sun was setting as she made it home. Tomorrow the team would meet near the exam building. But first she had to deal with a very powerful presence. She walked out to the porch with ten clones who started their patrols. "Welcome to Uzumaki Inn. Sorry but we are not open for an business. However a chat is always welcome...Just stop with the damn KI you over inflated tanuki barer." Gaara just laughed as he walked to the porch. "Just who are you and who is this Kurama?"

"Oh yeah I did not tell you.. Uzumaki Naruko, Jinchuriki to the Kyubii. And if Dark is right you have one fucked up seal going on. I'll show you mine If you show me yours." That made the boy flinch but he was curious. He pulled open this robe to show the seal on his chest. She frowned and started cussing about some halfassed moron wanna-be seal maker. "That does it. Ask Shukaku if he minds getting a better seal." Gaara flinched again but soon half his face was covered in sand.

"Why the hell would you care about my opinion. And if you do fix that seal then also get this crazed asshole out of here." Naruko tilted her head and listen to the story of the mad monk. She felt sorry for the boy. But when Shukaku staed the 'training' his father had done to him she felt rage at Suna. After a few more minutes of the boy being held in place by Shukaku, she finished the new seal. And did a quick spirit purge jutsu with Dark's help.

"That...what happened..why are you not dead. He always kills when he...what..she did what?" He looked up to see Naruko's bare stomach and the seal on it. "So you fixed dad's seal and got rid or the lunatic. Why?" The girl handed him some tea and smiled. She then stood up and took off her shirt. The boy blushed at the barely holding bra then he saw them...he saw her past etched into the skin. He felt in his heart all the dark feelings he had for his father. "Who...what...No, why are we to be hated and blamed when they have been using the Biju as weapons?"

Naruko sighed as she put the shirt on. "Exactly, so Gaara-san will you let me be your friend?" He nodded and stiffened as she hugged him. A feeling in his chest caused him to worry. Till he heard the Ichbi laughing. He followed her as she lead him back to his hotel. Two ANBU landed in front of them."Uzumaki-chan, Your out late and why are you with this Suna shinobi?"

Naruko smiled and did the hidden hand sign for friend. "I'm taking him to the hotel, He has been a very good gentleman. Is there something wrong?" The ANBU both nodded and took off. "They care about my mental state. I kinda have a bad habit of..." Before she could finish a drunk glared at the pair. "Damn demon bitch, hic."

She was about to snap the mans neck but a wall of sand stopped her. When it moved out of the way the man was dead with his sake bottle shoved down his throat. "Hmm. The poor man most have tripped while drinking. What a sad way to go." Gaara smirked as he continued on the path. Naruko was trying not to let it bother her but the boy just killed so she did not have to. She was not sure how to handle it.

(A/N I hated the writen exams so I removed it for ...reasons)

The second exam was held in a training field that looked like solid flat ground for a square mile. The proctors were watching as the teams arrived. Gaara and Naruko had decided to help remove most of the opposing teams. She looked at the other two girls and her friends doing the hand sign for Kurama and dark and KI. They replied as ready. Soon she looked Gaara in the eyes and let loose her fox grin.

The chill swept through every proctor there as they looked right at her grin. It took years of training to not flinch when two massive waves of Biju chakra and KI collided. When a third one pulsed in the mix, more than half the teams were passed out or backing away quickly. The waves ended as Ibiki smiled at the blond. "Anko, remind me to have her offered a place in T&I if she wants it." Anko was just grinning. She loved the different states Naruko's victims were in but to impress Ibiki as well.

The two Jinchuriki looked at a girl about Naruko's age and smiled. They found another one and Naruko knew she wanted help. Dark slipped a piece of paper in the girls pocket as Ibiki started to talk. "Greeting. Welcome to the Chunin exams. Those of you who are so far back may now leave, and please take the unconsciousones with you. As you can see there are Chunin and jonin up here who stood there ground at the small display of true KI. Thank you Naruko for not actually killing anyone this time and not using your ...bloodlust either. OK so that made my job easier. Intimidation, determination, will power, and resolve. That is part of being a shinobi. But to waiver so quickly is not the path of a Chunin. All those still remaining please follow Mitarashi Anko to training ground 44. And will the three teams who participated in that event be ready to defend your actions.

They arrived for the next exam with Naruko a little worried. She did not want her team to fail because of that. But as the Proctors handed out forms and Anko advised of the killing rules, 5 more teams dropped out. Only the Suna, All the rookie Leaf teams as well as 2 Rain, 1 Kusa,1 Oto, 1 Stone, and 2 Waterfall, and a Kumo team were left. Anko was glad to see the numbers drop.

AS they got their scrolls, Naruko had to explain about the deal and about fixing Gaara's seal. The Hokage would be told but the fact of the matter is they were actually working together. She did warn that the third Biju chakra was unexpected however Kurama says it was a cry for help. When she left there was talk of how long she was in there. She smiled and walked to her team. Anko decided to try one last bit. "Naruko-chan, Just remember to not kill everybody. That is the way of Mist, not Konoha."

If they were not scared before they were now. Naruko had her fox grin on and even Kina was looking at the teams like pieces of meat. Sakura was standing by a tree cursing then punched the tree causing it to fall away. "Why am I stuck with this, do you know how long it takes to get that gore smell out of my gear?"

The gates opened and her team just walked in as if not caring. When they entered the tree line she laughed. "I really wish I could have seen that look on teme sooner. I swear he must have used a Genjutsu during the KI clash." Sakura shivered and collapsed taking deep breaths. "I.. I don't ever want to be in a battle against you and who every that other one was." "Who, Gaara-san, oh he is the Kazekage' son and his team is his brother and sister. He ...also carries the Ichbi..." "WHAT!"

They had relocated after that shout and Sakura apologized. "He was at your place last night without a shirt and you feeling him up while fixing his seal. Who's bright idea was the whole 'let use a lot of KI' plan anyway?" Kina was sniffing around as they jumped to the tree tops. "Mine but he added the part with Biju chakra. And now we know there is a third Jinchuriki here." Naruko tilted her head. "Dark says to head slightly East and not to follow the Suna. Oh and 1 rain team is down...He what?...Oh well then its ok."

The two girls descended and Kina warned of blood in the air. Naruko shook her head, "Gaara ...remove one of the teams. They did try to kill him for a bounty after all." Kina looked Naruko in the eyes sternly then sighed as did Haru. "You said that like it was nothing. Is he as bad as you?" "Hmm. No he was worse. Start with a lunatic turned chakra spirit, a fucked up seal that allowed the Biju and spirit to effect his emotions, add insomnia, and his own father orchestrating their version of Fox hunts. OH and ordering his own uncle whom actually cared for the boy to assassinate him. Yeah, he outclassed me big time. But I fixed the seal and spirit so that cured the insomnia. Now he has control, Shukaku the Ichbi is working with him, and his dad is so gonna piss himself when they get home."

"Naruko, would you fuck me now. I am trying to find how you say all this as if its normal everyday things. So if you finger me into an amazing orgasm then I'll stop worrying." Kina had her lustful look going and Sakura just shook her head. "Great, the Inuzuka's in heat and Naruko is being weirder than usual. How do I ever get out of being corrupted around you two?" They headed on till Kina And Haru smelled fresh blood.

The Kusa shinobi were fighting the Sound and barely holding their own. Kina yelped as a high pitch hit her ears. Naruko watched the movements and realized were the sounds came from. "OK this will be fast so Kina, Haru, get ready. Sakura, I want you to flank the red head with the flute. Kusa is defending so they will not be a threat." She took a deep breath and focused her will over the shadows. All sound weapons stopped and the next thing heard was a pair of twisters flying at the enemy. They had no chance as Kina was pissed at the pain they caused her ears. When she looked at the devastation and the two wounded shinobi she smiled...Then stomped the closest one in the balls.

Sakura did her best wicked grin as she punched a chunk of tree toward the Sound girl. It hit her full force but she stood up. "What was that bitch. A slap. My Fucking Kage does that with his farts. What did you think that was going to do?" "Distraction."grined Sakura. "Hunh...SHIT."

Naruko was ducked behind her and in a quick movement the Sound shinobi went flying straight into a tree. Naruko holding the tiger sign.

Her team mate winced at the move knowing full well what it did. As they turned to look at the other team Kina tossed Naruko the scroll they needed. "Well this looks bad. Can you three keep going?"

The girl of the group looked at the blond leader and blinked. "Are you...did you give me this?" She held out the note. "Yup, Oh I see. Kurama says hello Chomei. He says I need to fix your seal soon, as it is repressing you own chakra as well as hers." The Kusa team looked confused but allowed Sakura to give them first aid.

"Fuu. My name is Fuu. Yes I hold Chomei and I have spoken with him but how did you know?" Naruko explained and even told about Gaara. "So he was the other one. OK that make sense but why help us?" That made Naruko upset as she explained about helping the Biju and their vessels from the Jinchuuriki fate. When they finished up both teams headed off in different directions. When the teams arrived they noticed that something was off. Soon it was down to the Leaf and Sand and Sound team. Fuu had told Naruko that her team would pull out. She cared for her team mate who needed more medical attention.

The second part ended and the teams were told to train for a month. The last part would be a tournament. Naruko was happy to get a brake and the next day Fuu came to visit. Kiba took a clone on a date so only the girls and Gaara was around. Kankuro stayed at the Hotel with their jonin,due to what happened with Konohamaru. And Tamari followed Gaara to the Inn. She had a hard time with the news but after seeing her brother curled up in a nearby bed sleeping peacefully, she just agreed to accept it.

Fuu looked at them nervously but trusted Naruko after the whole exam business. They watched as Naruko worked diligently to alter and fix the seal. Soon Fuu woke up crying with happiness. Her body was so light and the pains of chakra use were gone. The girl smiled as a beetle flew in to the room and landed on her hand. Naruko had the sudden urge to let her meet the Abarame . Soon it flew away and Fuu passed out. She was placed in a room nearby and the girls had a talk with Tamari about Gaara's past. Hinata saw the hidden rage when the girl spoke and remembered how she felt when it came to Naruko.

That day The Civilian council was in a panic. Inuzuka Kiba was seen holding Naruko's hand as they were resupplying at a weapon shop. At the same time that Hyuuga Hinata was seen cloths shopping with Uzumaki Naruko. And at the same time said Uzumaki was giving the 2 Suna shinobi a tour of the market distinct. Sarutobi heard the report of the day and nearly passed out laughing so hard. He did wonder about the part when a Kusa girl was seen at the Inn.

(A/N so I hope everyone is ok with this so far as I am doing a lot of updates at once due to working my hands raw all week(and weekend) but got bills to pay and family to care for. Alas I shall not be sure when next I post but be assured there is more waiting to be released to my fans.
