Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or the characters. I simply own the story itself. Naruto belongs to Sasuk…. I mean Kishimoto.
Just in case: Due to Naruko being the name created by fans, therefore being a fandom name, it is not required by me to use 'Naruko' as the name for female Naruto. Kishimoto was not the one who created this name for that version of Naruto. I will however, place any and all female Naruto stories I have within the 'Naruko' category due to the story being about the FEMALE Naruto. {Since previously I was complained to for placing my stories in the Naruto Character category; since the story was about a Female Naruto.}
I do realize that I am not the characters however I write my stories in first person perspective. If you do not like first person stories, then feel free to leave if you are not willing to give it a shot. I can understand people's preferences towards stories. Third person is more centered on description, whereas First person is more centered on feelings/emotions.
No Criticism, Flamers or any of that. Don't like, don't read. That is why they invented the "X" at the top of your browser and the back key in the address bar. Do not leave the story via the review section, seeing as that keeps you within the story that you possibly didn't give a chance.
Warning: I speak more Japanese than I do English; therefore you will find some translation errors or possibly a few grammar or spelling errors floating around. I don't have a beta reader and, honestly, I do not want one. The last time I tried to have a Beta Reader; they tried to change everything that would happen in my story. It takes me a while, but I do go back to older chapters and rewrite them or check them for errors.
I'm getting ridiculously tired over the header and footer I have to put into my story chapters… I wish that people learned to read the Author notes when it's there for you to read rather than skipping over it then complaining.
I'd love to revert back to my old way where I just leave my random comments at the header and footer then leave… But apparently I had a few idiots that never read any of the information I told them to read… Instead I got left complaints over stuff that was explained in the Author Notes.
Now the footer… that is actually more so… for the people who skipped chapters and didn't see that I now have accounts for people to add me on.
Aside from that… Me attempting to get back on track like I had planned to before December… not going as planned. So I had my teeth pulled yet again without any complications… minus the fact that apparently my wisdom tooth grew in very fast within a month and grew out the side of my gums. Coz of that, I am now dealing with more reasons to BE medicated than me trying to refrain from taking the medication.
So presently… when stories will be updated won't be exact for a bit… you will have to forgive me on that one, since I still have 2 more extraction trips to deal with before I am completely done and over with the medications and stuff. After that, I should be able to resist sleep long enough to work on chapters past their due dates for easy updating.
YnK and NUA won't be updated next week… I get another tooth extracted and am once again going to be on meds. I hate wisdom teeth… ugh.

I looked over to see a man with long white hair standing nearby. "The runt will be alright." He stated. I glanced over to Sakura, who was just as confused as I was. "How do you know? They haven't even started the surgery…" I asked, possibly adding venom to my comment. He shrugged as he leaned against the wall.
"Tsunade is the top medical ninja and invented many medical principals that medical ninja follow. There is no way Tsunade would give up on the runt… and the runt… knows not when to give up." I narrowed my eyes at the man. "And you are?" I asked. "I am the Legendary Sanin… Jiraiya." Yet… another name that I heard Akuma say… what the hell?
"You seem to know about 'the runt'… Why does every adult's attitude change when you mention the name 'Akuma'?" He waved his hand, as he pushing my question away. "You don't need to worry yourself in the matters of adults." I glared as I went to go hit the guy but was grabbed quickly by Sakura, who held a firm grip on my shirt.
"She is our teammate! Not knowing about our teammate ruins the trust between everyone! We grew up with Uzumaki NARUTO not Uzumaki AKUMA. Who is this Uzumaki Akuma and how does everyone who is higher up know her?"
"Because brat, she had rank." I turned to the new voice and noticed a blonde haired chick with jugs that were as big as 10 Mt. Fuji's. "The brat made it through surgery with ease." She stated as she punched the Jiraiya guy, who was staring at the chick's hoo-has. This just validated that the woman was Tsunade… and she IS the devil.
"Excuse me… what did you mean by 'she had rank'?" Sakura asked as she let go of my shirt and walked closer to the woman. "I mean exactly what I said. The brat had rank."
"How? And what made you change your mind to come help her?" I asked. She stayed silent before turning to face me. The look in her eyes was deadly, yet they meant no harm. It was as though she was remembering something. "You want to know about your current teammate?" I glanced over to Sakura who nodded to me. "Yes."
"Then we will speak." She turned away and began walking down the hall. Sakura grabbed my arm then dragged me with her, heading to wherever this woman was taking us. She stopped in front of a room then opened the doors. We followed her inside to see the fact that we had entered the food area.
She continued into the room and stopped in front of the person handing out the food. It appeared that they kept the food shifts at 24 hours incase other teams came in during the night. I wanted to question why we were here but noticed Tsunade grabbing a hefty amount of food and tossing it onto a tray.
"Ah…" Sakura let out as she stared at the tray that Tsunade was holding. "What?" Tsunade asked, looking over to Sakura, who was looking at Tsunade's tray. Tsunade veered her eyes at her own tray then rolled her eyes. "I'm hungry brat. Those messengers didn't even let me grab a bite to eat." Sakura simply nodded as we followed Tsunade to a table.
"I assume you know that brat as Uzumaki Naruto." We nodded as we sat down. "That is her true name. However, she was known as Akuma for a long time. That was the name that her mother called her when Akuma was still in her womb. The name is due to the influence of…." She trailed off as she stared at us.
"We know about Kyuubi." I stated as Sakura nodded. "We accepted it, despite what the elders told us with the history of Konoha…." Sakura added to my comment. "I see…" Tsunade stated as she tore a food off a bone with her teeth. "Then you know that she is influenced strongly by the power of Kyuubi… a sight to fear."
"That isn't true!" Sakura shouted as she slammed her fist into the table. "Naruto is very kind and gentle! He… She would do anything for the people that she cares about! I only see Naruto, not a demon!" Tsunade sighed as she leaned her head on the palm of her hand. "Shut it brat." Sakura sat down quickly; unsure of what Tsunade could actually do to her.
"How is she influenced strongly by Kyuubi?" I asked; mainly to prevent a rocket to launch from Tsunade's fist. She leaned back as she put her food down on the tray. "Those dark wide whiskers? That is a strong influence from Kyuubi… if she were a male it would be thinner due to the males natural ability to resist many infections. We are left with a runt with the influence of Kyuubi and the endless supply of chakra that only a Bijuu can have."
"She can't use her chakra though." I pointed out. Her gaze quickly met with mine. "You would be surprised, Uchiha. She has a huge chakra supply however… if the move she needs to use takes only a little chakra, it fails. A larger amount allows her to use the Jutsu with ease. For example… the Kage Bunshin she uses… that is an A ranked jutsu that naturally only Jonin can use."
Alright, I had to admit, I didn't even know this. I just assumed that Naruto was stupid and that was why he could never logically pull off any of the simple academy level ninjutsu. Now it explains why he was suddenly able to use shadow clones… he learned a high ranked move on his own. Maybe… maybe there truly was a possibility of Naruto living a double life…
"I know what you are thinking, Uchiha, however that is incorrect." She narrowed her eyes at me. "Uzumaki Akuma existed in Konoha for the first five years of her life. We knew her to of died; so the name frankly brings up a lot of concern between the adults. It was 7 years ago…" She leaned back.
"What was 7 years ago?" Sakura asked. "7 years ago was when Konoha lost their youngest prodigy. Because of losing her, they completely wiped her out of our history. It left Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi to be the youngest prodigy. The thing about prodigy at such a young age… is the damage they receive due to their weak bodies."
If she was a prodigy that was younger than Kakashi and Itachi… she would have had to of been under 5 years of ag-… Dear god… I slowly understood what was going on. When Naruto got hit by that ninjutsu… he was reverted to the real him, the him that had 'died' when it was 5…
It wasn't that Naruto couldn't turn back because the user couldn't do it… it was because it was who Naruto really was… He never lied to us about whom he was, how could he? He never had a chance to know what we do about this side of him that we call Akuma. It is like a split personality… Akuma is the younger gentle side, while Naruto is the bold annoying side.
Now… now things were slowly explaining itself towards Naruto.

This year is not going to well for me on keeping track of stories. I've been dealing with way too much the past few months and it certainly isn't helping me at all. To make it worse… each time I see an email come in saying I have a new PM or Review… my heart sinks uncontrollably. The reason for this is because the past few months, I've had people trolling me hard on my stories and putting me down. They have even been spamming all of my other accounts with the same stuff.
I feel someone is trying to make me quit being a Fanfiction writer… I don't know who it is but I know it is the same person… because just a year ago, they did the same exact thing to me saying the same exact stuff. It's always the same lines of "I'm tired of seeing your stories spamming the search feed. Your stories are childish and have poor grammar and are filled with endless spelling errors." It goes on… nothing related to my story itself. Each time I check those stories, I read through them and only see about 2 spelling errors and maybe 1 grammar error caused by my writing program… and this is about every other chapter, sometimes several chapters.
It's been making me question recently, if I should even continue my stories or if I should put it on hold again and give myself time to calm down about this… to finally put effort into my stories rather than sitting there tossing out chapters filled with bullshit so the few who read my stories, actually have something to read so they don't quit on me. I try to make all my readers happy but in the end… I lose a lot of people. No one talks to me when I ask questions, I naturally find myself talking to myself in the end.
So far, only polls have ever been answered… and it has made me wonder so many things…
I can't keep up with you guys… I always do something wrong that causes you guys to give up on me and it causes me to give up on myself. I never thought I would even get this far in any story when I first put up a story… when I first put up a story I simply thought "Since I barely gave effort on this, no one will even bother reading it. People always had problems with First person anyway." And next thing I knew… I had someone messaging to continue the story. That's how that story ended up getting nearly to Chapter 80… I mean… it should have ended a long time ago, meaning I should have given up on it before hand… but I continued because people wanted it.
I wanted to please them.
Now I just find myself cowering in a corner when I see email notifications… I was spammed with hateful reviews and PMs since July… and it never ended. I don't know who the person is… but they aren't giving up. They always do it as a guest, using different names each time… I'm only lucky that they have this review moderation thing for guests… otherwise I wouldn't allow anonymous reviews.
I'm not a popular writer… so why troll me? I'm just a ground level writer, digging around in dirt to find a story I could tell. Not one of those writers in the clouds that can put up millions of stories that everyone adores.
Tired of living in fear of Emails…
So JohnStang asked a good question.
"About the xmas gift – you mean one massive one for all readers in general? Or is it by individual which I doubt?"
I used to do massive things but no one would put in a vote; so instead I am doing it individually. I am giving everyone their own choice towards a Drawing, a Story or whatever. I just need more people to tell me what they want before it's too late. This is obviously because I have to work on my normal stories and some Christmas drawings for family and friends between all of this.
Dear Readers,
Christmas is right around the corner. It is once again your time to shine! This year… YOU choose what you want for Christmas from Daemon! It could be stories, drawings, specials… anything! You can PM me on here or leave a review with your idea of what you want. Or! You can go to one of my other accounts and leave your idea there! (Like Facebook in a message or wall post or Deviantart with a comment or Note)
It is every INDIVIDUAL; not a mass group vote!
At random, I get to this point in life where… I like when people question me. So, Daemon is willing to answer any questions! Stories, personal… anything! The questions can be done on the same sites as your idea (If you have one) for Christmas. Or! As I nearly forgot, you can e-mail me with the e-mail I specifically made for you, my readers!
I only had two people (or 1 person…) who actually asked me some questions.
Q: You look like a wide spread of nationalities, why?
I am what you call a 'mutt.' On my mother's side of the family I have Japanese, Native American, Irish, German and Welsh… at least I think that is all. My Native American blood is dominate inside me for some reason, so I look very pale because of it. I like keeping up with my Native American culture because it is very intriguing. Yes, I have been to an Indian Reservation… My Uncle (apart of family through marrying my one aunt) has a father who is(or was) a chief of one of the reservations in New Jersey.
Q: What is your favorite food?
Oh an easy question! Well I don't have just 1 favorite food because I don't hold back on trying new things lol. I love Italian pastas and pizza… I thank Italy for that delicious delight! I love my Native American culture… I've had so many types of food from there… And… to kill my heart, I ate a fox… I know… So cruel! I didn't know it was a fox though until after I asked what it was… at least… foxes are delicious… I love cheesecake and cheese steak; I am highly addicted to cheesecake lol. I do like Fajitas and tacos… and guacamole! I obviously love sushi, dangos and omusubi considering I write about those a lot. I do eat ramen, but I try to avoid it due to certain ones being high in sodium.
If you guys have suggestions towards dishes you think I should try; suggest them! The only thing is… they can't be spicy. If I can cook them, send me the recipe!
Q: Why do you make us wait so long for chapters?
Oh… I think you are actually a new reader if you are asking this lol. I normally update a chapter weekly. Monday is Uzumaki Twins, Tuesday is HS Fikushon, Wednesday is Not another HS Fic, Thursday is Naruto no Bunshin and Friday is Namikaze{Uzumaki} Akuma and Yogen no Ko. On the third week of the month, I put up a new story or an extra chapter for "Saturday Special." Now… the reason that this isn't happening recently was actually stated… but I'm medicated right now… If I get frustrated or stressed… well, the change in my heart pace or blood pressure causes the meds to act up. I get stressed sometimes at my stories when there is one word I cannot remember.
My internet isn't playing fair with me or all my stories I wanted to catch up would have been up earlier in the week. I got lucky on this Chapter because I put it up on my doc manager before I lost internet again. I am writing the author note through my phone right now, then I will post it up lol. I should do that more often…
I know that the fact that I am Native American will make people go "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!" But yes; I am. Lol… Side note: Yes, I do love Assassin's Creed III because Conner is Native American… can't blame me!
What relationship standing would you like to see between Naruto/Akuma and Sasuke?
Akuma returns to her older self and Sasuke and her get together as a couple. [8 1/2]
The relationship stands as a fatherly Sasuke. [1 ½]
Akuma and Sasuke just stay as friends. [0]
Hey guys… so my extraction area is infected… I might be missing for a while… fun. Just thought I'd let ya know…
I have created accounts on Tumblr, Twitter and Facebook for you guys to follow me so that there isn't as much confusion on when chapters will be posted or information like that. You do not have to ask for permission to add me, as long as you aren't a troll or something like that.
My username for Tumblr and Twitter are also DaemonDeDevil but for ease, I have the links to my accounts for those sites in my profile at the top.
That is all.
