Review at the start.
No Hating- I am most likely going to write Naruko's backstory when Itachi and Kisame come for Menma. I thought it would fit since in my AU Naruko, Itachi, and Shisui all went to the academy and got on the same team. When Itachi's teammate dies and he gets the sharingan at the mission to escort the Daimyo, instead of his male teammate, Naruko fumbles a bit and almost dies, but because of her natural healing and having a medic nearby, she was fine. Amy is not related to Tsunade in any way other than them both being Senju. Her father was a pure Senju and was not closely related to Tsunade. Her mother was a half Uzumaki who survived Uzushiogakure's destruction, but never knew of her Uzumaki family. Naruko couldn't take Menma as a kid because after the Kyuubi attack, Menma's heritage was kept a secret and if Naruko started taking care of a random orphan out of the blue then people would grow suspicious because he looks exactly like Minato. (P.S Naruko looks like Kushina, but with Minato's smarts and eyes.) Also Naruko thought that if the son of their precious Yondaime had started taking care of the "Kyuubi brat" they would think that she was brainwashed and that the fox was trying to take control of their last living relative of Minato.
Guest #1- Other people don't know that Naruko has half the Kyuubi sealed away inside her. It was covered up with the canon events of Minato putting half in himself.
Guest #2- Sorry if she knows too mcuh about the Sharingan. I thought that since Itachi and Naruko were rivals and best friends with Shisui they would all be interested in the history of the world. Madara is pretty important to the shinobi world history in my opinion and they would eventually stumble on Mangekyou and Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan explanations. I don't think that Kakashi originally knew of his Mangekyou until after the timeskip, but I think that after the incident with Itachi and her finding about the Mangekyou she would ask Kakashi if he had his because Naruko and Kakashi were close so she inevitably knew about how Rin and Obito died .
blanche-d - Itachi does know that Naruko is telling Itachi, but most events will remain the same because if out of nowhere, Sasuke stopped going for revenge and Itachi left the Akatsuki then they would be suspicious. Sasuke is trying to open up since he knows the truth now, but will pretend to be sour because Itachi is still a spy for the leaf in the Akatsuki and the full reason of why Itachi killed the clan is still a strict secret.

"Zabuza Momochi. Well it seems that you are a bit outmatched here. I don't take you for a fool and I think you know that as well. So if any backup is here you might want to come out unless you want to leave right now."
Zabuza knew he was outmatched so he knew Haku being in the trees as a fallback was a necessity for him to live. "Well it seems that I am by myself. I know that I can't beat you Naruko, but I have always wanted to fight the copy ninja so would you mind us having a duel?"
Naruko glanced at Kakashi who nodded "All right Zabuza, but if things get too hard for him I will interfere."
What followed next amazed the genin. A battle of two high Jonins wasn't something people saw everyday. They started to panic slightly when Kakashi got trapped in a water prison. Luckily or unluckily Naruko used this as an opportunity to gain experience.
"All right team! You can take care of this. I will not help you unless you are in immediate danger so have fun and remember what I taught you." That was a hidden code they made that meant "Think about it logically and come up with a good strategy."
Menma made an army of clones that went to pursue Zabuza. Zabuza let out a snort and summoned a water clone that used a destructive jutsu to blow away all of Menma's clones. Once they were all dispelled Menma took something out of his backpack and handed it to Sasuke. At first Sasuke was staring at the Blonde like he was an idiot.
Menma was persistent in giving the object to Sasuke who didn't know what the hell that was going to do until he held it in his hands. A knowing smirk came on his face and looked at Menma with a nod. Zabuza gave out an unimpressed sort. "Brat! What do you think a demon wind shuriken is going to do against me?"
Sasuke didn't give him the answer he wanted because he threw the shuriken at Zabuza. Zabuza caught the shuriken, keeping his unimpressed stare. He was caught a bit off guard when a second shuriken came underneath. He jumped over the shuriken without so much as a thought causing Sasuke to smirk which went unnoticed by Zabuza. "This Namikaze brat must have been a horrible teacher if this is all they could think of." He was caught completely off guard when he heard a poofing sound behind him.
Zabuze quickly turned his head to see the Menma brat throwing a kunai at him. Shit I can't dodge without releasing the water prison, so I guess I have to." Naruko was proud of her little brother. She had to admit that it was a pretty genius plan and she would have to give him props for his performance by giving him extra training. The thought ended with a sadistic smirk from Naruko.
Zabuza was fujing slightly. He had captured the copy ninja and was going to kill the little genin with clones, but the damn yellow haired gaki had ruined his plan. He knew that he wasn;t going to get out of this situation without Haku, but he didn't care so he battled to see the strength of his opponents.
He ran toward the yellow haired gaki with the weird whisker marks. "Menma" his brain helpfully replied. The gaki was pretty smart and came up with a decent plan with the help of the Uchiha brat. He knew that he wasn't going to be able to kill Kakashi or Naruko so he decided to kill one of their genins so that he could at least get something accomplished.
He ran toward Menma intent on cutting his head cleanly off only to get stopped by a kunai. He looked up to see a furious kakashi who was drenched in water. His next words were only a whisper, but they were spoken in a tone colder than a block of ice. If you ever put a hand on my comrades ever again, I will rip you apart!
From there it was mostly uphill in Kakashi's favor. He was able to copy the hand signs and perform an identical water dragon jutsu. The two dragons collided and equalled each other out. This is starting to get bad. I am getting dangerously low on chakra. Kakashi thought frantically.
Zabuza started doing another set of hand signs while giving Kakashi a rant about how he will be victorious because copycats will never be better than the original. Kakashi perfectly mirrored the peach and Zabuza faltered in the hand signs when an identical version of himself appeared behind Kakashi. Water style, Giant vortex jutsu! Kakashi yelled and a stunned Zabuza couldn't dodge the giant vortex of water that hit him head on.
Zabuza lied on the ground when Kakashi came with a kunai. "Can you see the future?" Zabuza managed to get out weakly. "Yes and your future is death." Kakashi replied as two senbon came and crashed into Zabuza's neck.
"You were right, he did die. A person said getting all of their attention. It was a black haired person who they couldn't figure out the gender of who was wearing a blank mask. Naruko and Kakashi narrowed their eyes at her, but Kakashi was a bit more relaxed than Naruko after coming to the conclusion that this person was a hunter nin.
"You're a mist hunter nin, correct?" Naruko asked before Kakashi could say it before her. "Yes. I have been hunting Zabuza for quite some time now and you made my job much easier. I thank you, but I must be going now." The mysterious person replied, but before she could leave a cry of "wait" was heard.
All eyes turned to Naruko as she said "Since you are a hunter nin, why aren't you cutting the head and burning the body. I know that hunter nins normally cut the head at the spot and not try and drag them away." The masked nin started sweating and came up with a decent lie that would probably get them a small amount of time for them to get away. "Well you see, this body has a lot of secrets. It is believed by our Mizukage that Zabuza has information on another missing swordsman that we need information for. I have been ordered to interrogate Zabuza for the information so we can find them."
Naruko wasn't entirely convinced, but she knew that there could be quite a bit of trouble if she was telling the truth and was a true hunter nin. "Fine then I guess you will be on your way now. Please leave. As soon as they were gone, Kakashi passed out on Naruko who sighed before making two clones to carry him back to the house.

Hi guys! Sorry for the late chapter. I have been feeling pretty lazy, but am trying to get back on schedule. I have a lot of ideas and I will try my best to keep this going and not abandon.
On a separate note. I was wondering if you would want me to continue solely on this series of start a new one to do as well as this one. I have a lot of ideas for other stories that I want to do, but I know that if I get into too many stories I will eventually forget about some and leave them abandoned. If you want I will start a new one. If you decide for me to post that story then I will give you a small spoiler below
Spoiler warning:
A blonde girl that looks no older than the age of 6 is running to escape a mob. She is six years old and today was his birthday. It was the day of the kyuubi festival. The day where she would be chased and beaten to near death. When she asked the Hokage, or as she liked to call him, jiji, he would always say that he didn't know.
He outran the mob for a couple seconds and took shelter inside of one of the oly reliable hiding spots that he could count on. The library was a place that Naruko loved to visit. It always felt great to learn something new. The librarian's name was Ken. He came from a civilian family and was a shinobi before he decided that being a ninja wasn't for him and became a librarian.
He was Naruko's only friend and let her take refuge in any book she wanted because as someone who lost his parents at the age of four, he knew how hard it was to be an orphan. He soon discovered that Naruko would be his best visitor to his library because he was so interested in books, he once caught her reading on the way out of the library to close up for the night. He told her that she could stay which she happily thanked him for.
The next day he came in to see her on the ground with a small stack of books still reading in the same spot he left her the day before. "Naruko, did you stay up all night reading?"
"Huh? What do you mean? I didn't stay up all night. I thought it was almost midnight."
Ever since that day, Naruko would spend all her time either at the library reading or eating ramen at her second favorite place in the entire world. Ichiraku ramen. He had a large hunger for ramen and it was the only thing he ever ate.
"Psst Naruko over here" Ken called to Naruko who was running as fast as she could. Naruko ran over to Ken only for him to puff into smoke and turn into a random chunin. "Guys I got the demon!"
Naruko was horrified when a large crowd came. The beating that followed was by far the worst thing that she had ever felt. Once it was over, she could barely move, but that was when she stumbled into a man who looked as pale as a ghost and yellow slitted eyes.
