Xyru's plotbunny reserve.

A.N.:Greetings.

I really need to stop playing Blazblue.

Or I need to get lobotomized.

Whichever makes these plotbunnies stop coming to my poor insane mind

Here it goes:

Uzumaki Naruko was staying on her bed in a hotel room. Jiraya had just left her to go skirt-chasing instead of acting like the godfather he was supposed to be.

It really was pathetic.

She sighed before moving to the table which she had turned into a temporary workshop for her to upgrade her puppets. The chuunin exam had been an eye opener.

Although she had managed to beat Gaara, she had been forced to summon Gamabunta to do it.

It wasn't enough, not if she wanted to…

Her thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking on the door. She frowned, it couldn't be Jiraya. He wouldn't be back yet, after all, their mission, finding Tsunade so she could become the Godaime Hokage, wasn't as important as the pervert getting laid.

She promptly prepared her puppet, just in case, and went to answer the door.

She opened it and was greeted by a man that looked like an older version of Sasuke. She knew who it was, Uchiha Itachi. She also knew she stood no chance against him.

She was about to run when she saw the Uchiha's teammate.

Immediately, memories came back to her. The same memories that constantly plagued her mind. Memories of past times, happier times, when she lived with her mother and older brother. Until the Namikaze/Uzumaki matriarch was killed. And now, her mother's killer was right in front of you.

Her puppet moved to stab the man with a dozen different weapons.

He escaped without much effort and she rushed after him.

The outer wall of the building exploded and they both jumped out leaving Itachi to deal with his just arrived brother.

They landed on a nearby rooftop and the Uzumaki girl's target used chakra strings to send a few civilian at her.

She ignored them all, using her doll like weapon toe dodge and attack her enemy.

He had a satisfied smirked.

"It's been a while, Uzumaki Naruko." He greeted her mockingly.

He stood there, the wind moving neither his Akatsuki coat, which was hiding his left arm, nor his slicked back spiky blond hair. His blind eyes hidden beneath a mask were staring at her. She knew he couldn't see but his sensor abilities made him far more dangerous than any other seeing people.

"Nii-sa- No." She interrupted herself. "Uzumaki Naruto, I will kill you." The loathing in her voice was almost palpable.

He scoffed elegantly. "With this puppet? It was merely a toy I built. No matter what change you made to it, it won't be enough."

The puppet was a basic human torso possessing bladed wings instead of arms. The legs were two weapons launchers containing many tools from the simple senbon to the paper bomb. The head could spit poisoned senbons and a larger spike.

All of this had little chance of harming him, she knew that. Yet she still tried. Moving the doll with chakra strings from both hands, she attacked.

He unsealed a snake like puppet and protected himself, using only three of his fingers to move the wooden serpent to catch every strike and projectile.

After a while, he got tired and the snake opened its mouth showing that within was a tube. Said tube was made to absorb a massive amount of chakra before releasing it in the form of a massively destructive beam. And with a whispered 'Ningyodama' from the male puppeteer, that is what happened.

She stared at the remains of her weapon. Shards falling around her. She hadn't been able to do anything. Tears of frustration fell from her eyes as she punched the roof she was on.

"Why? Why? Why why why why why why why?" She cried.

He went near her resealing the serpent while walking.

"Why? Why did I defeat you? Why am I here today? Why did left Konoha? Why did-" He was about to continue but she interrupted him.

"Why did you kill Kaa-san?" She finally asked the question that she had asked again and again and over again for the past six years without receiving any answer.

"Is that all? I just needed her to create the perfect puppet." His 'simple', almost bored answer made her rage.

"What? You…you what?" She couldn't believe it she was getting even angrier. "You killed her for .. for that!"

He 'looked' at her confusedly, seemingly wondering how she couldn't understand.

It made her even angrier.

So angry that she decided to use something that the Sandaime had forbidden her from ever using, judging it too dangerous for her safety.

She unsealed another thing. It looked like a giant sword but Naruto could 'see' that it was made of many different parts.

Naruko sent her strings on the different part before crossing her arms in front of her chest. Her move sent each parts of the weapon somewhere on her body. A puppet used as an armor. That was what she had unsealed.

She had protection on her legs; to her arms were attached blades that doubled as shields, her shoulder blade bones and her back were protected as well by a simple plate. Another part went on her head, covering her eyes and defending her skull. Her red hair attached at their tip around a blade shaped like an arrow's head.

The last parts were six swords that fell on the ground behind her. The plate on her back took some of her chakra and created strings to hold the 'petals' as the weapons were called. It was deadly and cool.

"You completed the Murakumo? Impressive." He smiled a bit. "This is a good opportunity to collect data. I haven't been able to test it since I completed it."

Naruko's eyes narrowed at that. She wondered if he was talking about his 'Ultimate Puppet'.

He snapped his finger and called out: "Kushina."

The puppet was unsealed and the red-head's eyes widened.

"You… You… Insane bastard!" It was their mother. Her arms longer and ending with claws, her face pale, most of her body covered in red and grey shade including the hat which had two long piece of cloth falling behind her but it was their mother.

She did not think she could get any angrier.

She was wrong.

With a hateful cry, she rushed at her monster of a brother, gliding on the floor like she was skating, ready to kill him at the first chance she got. He sent Kushina to intercept her with the puppet's curved blades.

Naruko managed to dodge and was about to continue her rush toward her foe when her leg was caught by Kushina who threw her in the street below.

The older sibling walked to the end of the roof to look at his sister, Kushina following behind, floating with her hand joined in front of her thighs.

He was about to attack her again when Itachi used shunshin to get beside him.

"What is it?" Naruto asked.

"We have to go, Jiraya just came back." The dark haired nuke-nin answered.

"Oh? What a pity… Oh well, I'll just have to get more data later." He turned, placed his hand on Kushina and sealed her back. After that, they both left.

Naruko held her hand in the direction they both were, tear falling down her face.

"Okaa-san… Onii-san… don't leave me a…gain..." She lost consciousness soon after being caught by Jiraya as he arrived.

Astral "don't do anything more" finish.

I still have a few of these.

Expect more.

You know, when I started writing I told myself: "I won't do like every other author and their dogs and start way too many stories. This way, I won't delay any update."

I should have shut my mouth.

I really want to write a Puppeteer Naruto fic. I have lots of ideas.

Oh well, maybe another time.

So yeah, Naruto's look is based on Relius Clover, Puppet!Kushina on Ignis and Murakumo!Naruko on Nu(ν-13) and Lambda(λ-11), all of them from Blazblue.

Also, it's twice I turn a Blazblue character into a puppet for an Uzumaki to use. It really work well, doesn't it?
