Chapter 2~*
Naruhi's sobs grew softer as the ice replica of the Nine-Tailed Fox took her further and further away as those who knew of the blonde genin cried for her, the remnants of the Rookie 9 who weren't in the hospital, several ABNUs, jounins, and chunins, along with Tsunade, Jiraiya, the Rookie 9 senseis, and Iruka watched as Naruhi disappeared over the horizon.
Sasuke growled as he watched Naruhi move further and further away, 'Just you wait, dobe. You will soon be mine and you will give birth to a new race of Uchiha children!'
Sakura smirked thinking, 'Finally that baka is gone! Now, I can have Sasuke-kun all to myself!'
Inner Sakura was shaking her head as she settled in disappointment as she whispered, unheard by Sakura, 'Be safe, Naruhi...Don't let them catch you.'
Kakashi was still in shock that the dead last that he mistreated and brushed off as a joke, thinking that he wouldn't be anything more than a failure in skill minus his massive chakra was actually his sensei's daughter who he neglected. She even hid that she could control ice which was a mix of Minato's power over wind and Kushina's power over water.
He kept his head down as he thought, 'Sensei...Oh, God, please forgive me for everything I did to your daughter...'
Kakashi suddenly felt cold eyes glaring at him and he looked to the side and saw it was Guy who's eyes read, 'I told you so.'
[Flashback]
Kakashi was staring at the memorial stone and Guy asks him, "What are you doing?"
"What does it look like I am doing?"
"You know exactly what I mean, Kakashi? Why are you neglecting Naruto?"
"Naruto needs to learn how to be a proper ninja and then I will train him."
"How can he be a proper ninja if he had no one to train him? You are his teacher, shouldn't you-"
"Guy, I don't tell you how to train your students. You don't tell me how to train mine. Sasuke needs the most help from the trauma of the massacre, Sakura is the Kunoichi of the Year as she can take care of herself. Naruto just needs to focus on what I give him and then I will teach him more."
"You will regret it, Kakashi. Naruto is not going to be there forever and when you realize the truth and you will want to train him, he will spit in your face."
Kakashi snorted at the thought and then immediately left with the wind, leaving Guy alone at the memorial stone.
"I'm sorry, Lord Fourth...I think your student and my friend are too far gone... He doesn't even see what is right in front of him," Guy whispered
Minato appears behind the memorial stone looking sad as he shook his head at his wayward student before disappearing once more.
Guy turned around and whispered to the wind, "I just hope you realize your mistake, Kakashi before it is too late. Naruto will not be there to bail you or your favorite genins out forever."
[Present]
Kakashi quickly turned away from Guy, knowing exactly what he was thinking as Tsunade and Jiraiya called off their summons.
Tsunade looked like she wanted to rip off someone's head while Jiraiya wasn't that far off.
Danzo called out, "Tsunade! You have to get her back!"
"Shut the fuck up, Danzo. This is all your and your cohorts fault. All because of this massive hard-on you have for the cum-sucking Uchiha!" Tsunade snapped
"Tsunade, how dare-" Koharu was interrupted when a rough sound filled the air and it was coming from the statues that Naruhi created.
"What the hell?" Jiraiya whispered as the four Hokages started to move.
They shrugged their shoulders like they waking up from a nap as they started to move, some of the ninjas in the group prepared themselves to attack but they didn't start smashing the village like everyone thought they would.
They just started to walk towards the gate of Konoha, settling down to stand in the middle of each one.
The First Hokage stood at the West Gate wearing his Senju armor wielding his sword he used to battle Madara Uchiha, stabbed into the ground beside him, his head was bowed as if he was saddened by the state of the village he helped create.
The Second Hokage stood at the North Gate wearing his Senju armor wielding his katana stabbed into the ground in front of him, his face just screams his disappointment, his lips were pursed and his eyes squinted as if he was holding back his disgust.
The Third Hokage stood at the South Gate wearing his own armor with the symbol of his clan wielding his bo-staff on his shoulder. His face makes him looks older as he was looking at a massive disappointment the village has become during his reign.
And the Fourth Hokage stood at the East Gate wearing his jounin vest underneath his flame cloak, clutching his tri-pronged kunai. However, his face wasn't like the rest, it was like he was livid at the village he protected from the Kyuubi. His face was torn between both despair and rage at what the village has become.
Jiraiya whispered, "Even now she looks after us, even though most of us don't deserve such a blessing..."
Gaara interrupted the silence by giving Tsunade a stack of letters and canceling their contract and said, "...Come Temari! Kankuro!"
The three immediately left Konoha as they knew where Naruhi was heading and they were going to meet her there.
[At Wave]
Gaara arrived with his siblings and waited along with the rest of the Wave Country and he thought, 'Naruhi probably warned them that she was coming and that she was going to make an entrance.'
Naruhi arrived a few minutes later on top of a massive replica of the Kyuubi as the people gasped and chattered with excitement. The fox bowed allowed Naruhi to jump off as she patted the ice fox's nose before it shattered into a bunch of beautiful pieces before disappearing into the air.
'One hell of an entrance, indeed...' Gaara thought before he walked up to Naruhi
"Now, you were going to give me my answers?" Gaara questioned
"Yeah, but first..." Naruhi rolled up her sleeves, undoing the bandages she placed on her arms and said, "Can you help me get these seals Danzo placed on my off?"
[Back in Konoha: Hokage Tower]
Tsunade called the Rookie 9 minus Sasuke and Sakura and those that were the hospital were discharged but placed in wheelchairs because they were still injured. The Sasuke Retrieval team was on one side of the room, while Kakashi was on the other and everyone else was in the middle.
"Why have you called us, here?" Shikamaru asked
"Before you answer that question, why isn't Sasuke and Sakura here for this?" Kakashi asked
Tsunade's honey brown eyes glared into Kakashi's lone eye as she coldly replied, "They are not here because the letters didn't reference them, now either shut up or get out."
Kakashi immediately silenced himself, knowing he was on thin ice with the woman that was fully willing to crush his rib cage and the glare of the Toad Sage told him he was not going to receive any help from him.
Tsunade looked at Shikamaru and told him, "Naruhi wrote letters for all of you guys and wanted me to give them to you."
She gave out of the letters, besides Kakashi who was confused as the Rookies read their letters and most of them started to get misty-eyed, but Ino who yelled out, "She's the Kyuubi?!"
Before anyone to could calm her or berate her, a harsh Slap! echoed throughout the office shocking everyone.
It was Shikamaru who slapped Ino who enough force that she fell on her ass as she looked up at the cold eyes of Shikamaru unaware that her body started to tremble.
"Shikamaru?" She questioned
"Don't you dare call, Naruhi that. She is not the Kyuubi. Is a sealing scroll a kunai?" He asked
"W-what?" She stuttered
"Answer me! Is a sealing scroll a kunai?" Shikamaru repeated
"N-no! Of course not!" She replied
"Then why do you think, Naruhi is?" Shikamaru asked
"But he-she-" She stuttered
"Nothing. You, know nothing. Ino. But, I swear I will slap you again if you say that Naruhi is the fox again because she isn't."
As the rest of the retrieval team nodded in his actions as their gazes bored into the blonde fangirl on the floor.
"Wait! How do you guys, know?" Tsunade asked as the senseis were curious to how they came across Konoha's darkest secret.
Kiba was the one who answered, "She told us before we all split up to take care of the Sound ninja and take back the Uchiha bastard."
He explained how Naruhi told them that she was actually a girl, shocking all of them first and then how she showed the seal on her stomach saying that she contained a monster and had Shikamaru figure it out when he concluded that her birthday was the same day the Kyuubi was killed. Except it was not killed, it was sealed into a baby and that baby was her.
Everyone of them growled as they clutched their armrests on their wheelchairs as some of them tried to hold back tears as they looked at the Hokage as Kiba continued, "Do you know how horrible it was to have the friend you thought you knew for so long was silently suffering underneath your own nose and she hid it not to put her problems on anyone else?"
"Or think you were going to be just like the idiot villagers that despise her for something that is not even her fault and how she actually prepared for us to beat her or even kill her!" Shikamaru yelled as he thought he was going to be sick
Ino looked down in shame clutching her cheek as tears fell down her cheeks while Kakashi could only look to the side, not wanting to look at anyone.
Before the mood was broken by a chunin who knocked on the door and said, "Tsunade-sama. The council demands your presence."
"They do don't they?" She growled before she stood up and said, "Everyone please follow me."
[Council Chambers]
Tsunade along with all the Rookie 9 entered the chambers while Sasuke looked smug while Sakura looked like she swallowed a bad lemon laced with salt.
"What the hell do you fuckers want?"
"What is being done to bring Naruhi Namikaze back to Konoha?"
"Nothing..." Tsunade smiled
The civilians shouted that they needed her back before Tsunade cracked her fist on the reinforced table as she yelled, "Why do you want her back, now? Because you realize she is the daughter of 4th Hokage you love so much. Considering you love him so much that you beat the shit out of his daughter, the very one he wanted you all to see as a hero."
"That is a moot point, now. We will recognize our mistakes when she gets here and she still needs to marry Sasuke Uchiha," a council member said, directing a hand towards the smug look on Sasuke's face
"Haven't you done enough to her, you sick fuck!" Kiba roared from his seat
"She is one of many to restore my clan," Sasuke shrugged
"You are so fucking lucky, I am in this chair, Uchiha," Neji growled, subconscious activating his dojutsu
"Like you could do anything-" Before he suddenly found himself unable to move
"They can't but I can," Shikamaru said as he used his shadow to bash his head on the floor, knocking him out.
"Nara-san, control your son! Look what he did to Uchiha-sama?!"
"Oh? Good job, son," He said, giving Shikamaru a thumbs up, making Shikamaru smile
While the civilians gaped at the scene and one of the more stupid ones said, "This must be the work of the Kyuubi!"
Before he could be silence, Hinata chucked a kunai at him, making a cut on his cheek as she said, "The next you make such a stupid remark, I will not miss..."
Hiashi looked at his oldest daughter in shock as she stood beside her hurt cousin.
"How dare you? Don't you know that the brat is the Kyuubi?"
"You damn fuckers are idiots..." Shikamaru drawled as most of the Rookies rolled their eyes at the man's statement.
Shikaku finally sat up and asked his son, "How do you know, son?"
Shikamaru looked down and said, "She told us on the mission. She fully expected us to hate and attack her as she just stood there with her head down, waiting for the barrage of insults and glares of disgust. Do you know what the worse this was when we said that we didn't hate her and she looked up to see us, she looked like she received the greatest present ever."
Neji looked like he was going to become sick once more as he added, "She was extremely happy that we didn't hate her. It was like she was fighting not to cry with relief and joy that we didn't hate her."
"But why did she hide that she was a girl?" Choji asked, "She never told us that..."
Choza replied to his son's answer and said, "She disguised herself with help from one of the ABNU because she as almost raped as a child that's why. It was during the first year of the academy, you all remember a girl that was really smart during your first year, right?"
"Yeah..." Shikamaru asked before his eyes widen and he slapped his forehead
"It seems your son's got it, Shikaku..." Inoichi said with a grim smile
"That girl was Naruhi, wasn't she?" Shikamaru said
Tsume kept her gaze on the desk as she recalled every foul thing she did to the boy she thought took away her best friend, but it was actually her daughter and she was actually in hiding.
'Oh, God...I ignored her screams as she was beaten by mobs, I didn't do anything, hell I even chased her away from eating garbage! to Kushina's pup of all people. Please, Kushina forgive me...' She mentally prayed
"So my dobe of a wife has a demon inside of her. No matter, it just makes her more desirable to impregnate with my seed," He leered, much to the disgust of most people in the room.
As everyone basked in the silence, Danzo interrupted seeing no better time like the present as he called down his Root ninja, all surrounding the Rookies, their parents, and the civilain council members.
"Danzo! What is the meaning of this?" Tsunade snarled
"The start of a new ear for Konoha. For too long, this village had been ruled by peaceful idiots. Under my rule, Konoha will thrive!"
"Do you truly think your emotionless bastards will be able to take us?" Jiraiya growled, his dark eyes boring into Danzo's lone one
"For you and Tsunade, maybe not, but your clan heirs can't," He said as the clan heads growled their massive displeasure.
But before Danzo could order his root ninja to attack, something happened, it started with the letter that Hinata still had in her hand, several words dripped off the page along with everyone else's as they looked on in shock at the letters given to them by Naruhi.
'What's happening?' Everyone asked before the ink turned into a black spear, impaling all of the Root Ninja surrounding the Rookies while one spike flicked thin needles towards Danzo getting his bandaged eye and destroying the brace he made on his 'stump' of an arm, showing the monstrosity he made of the Uchiha and Senju bloodlines.
Tsunade's fists glowed blue as her eyes grew harder as she glared at Danzo while Sasuke gave him an icy glare with his Sharingan.
"You sick fuck..." She spat
"It is for the good of Konoha," He said in a haughty voice before he moved to attack Tsunade with a speed that was unknown everyone as Tsunade braced herself but Danzo's attack fell short when her cursed necklace shined and flashed creating an ice shield protecting her.
Everyone looked at the transparent shield in shock as Danzo tried to pull his hand back, but a cold hand grabbed his wrist keeping him in place as the hand was attached to an arm which then came to form a replica of Naruhi who tossed Danzo back into his seat, sending him sprawling to the ground.
The remaining Root ninja made to attack her, but she released a cold breath, freezing the Root ninja in place and when she stomped on the floor they shattered with little to no effort.
Naruhi made to face Danzo as he picked himself up and he growled, "You... How are you here?"
"You are no position to ask questions, you shithead."
She looked at the Rookies with a smile, "I am glad that you got my letters, I am glad they worked."
"You damn brat, you should have just bowed to your betters!" He spat
"You are not my better and never will be."
"You will become my pet."
"How can I be without that stolen pink eye of yours? You know?" She smiled as she ripped out the Shushi's eye out of his socket.
"You little bitch!"
"You're a twat as well...Now, Danzo, do you truly think I would abandon those I care for? I am not you who thinks that people should be used as tissues."
"Ninja are tools you pathetic little brat."
"Who's the pathetic one, me or you? I think it is you, the poor bastard who can only steal from people who have the power to stand in the light you so despise. You don't even have supporters. You only have emotionless pawns."
"Only a person like me can become Hokage to lead Konoha to greatness."
"You would lead to its destruction. You only care about yourself. You don't understand even after all of your time alive, you still do not get it. You. Are. A. Coward. You can't do anything on your own. Your so-called ninja are nothing but puppets, even then they are cheap in comparison. The day you become Hokage is the day the Fire Country burns to the ground."
Danzo immediately flashed away as Tsunade called for the ABNU to go after him before she turned towards the replica of Naruhi.
"Naruhi..." She said, tearing up
The ice clone smiled as she handed Jiraiya a scroll and gave Tsunade a black book.
"Please come back..." Jiraiya asked
Naruhi sadly shook her head and said, "I can't. You know that."
"But, I overturned the exile order!" Tsunade yelled
"Danzo decided to make it more permanent along with Sayaka Haruno, as the Fire Daimyo signed it and even if he did overturn it, I couldn't be Hokage. It was one of the laws, Sarutobi accidentally slipped through the cracks of his paperwork."
'Damn it, Sensei!' Jiraiya and Tsunade internally growled
"I am glad I was able to protect you guys...well most of you," She said, glaring at Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura.
Naruhi pointedly ignored Kakashi who wanted to talk to her as she said, "I love you two very much. You are like the parents I always wanted as a kid, even though you weren't there for me in the beginning."
"I-" "Shh!" She silenced the two of them
"I forgive the both of you, I know you didn't mean to. You were just misinformed. I will see the most of you guys soon enough. And Tsunade, turn this village around. Make it into a village that your grandpa would be proud of. If you think that the village can't be fixed then it is your call to end it. They will not blame you and neither will I. Just remember I love you and I love you guys as well. Minus the traitor, the cyclops, and the traitor's cocksucker!" She finished with a yell at the end before flipping off Team 7 and shattering into a bunch of shining pieces.
Tsunade stared at the spot where Naruhi stood and broke out in a laugh with tears running down her face as she said, "She really is the most unpredictable ninja. All of you are dismissed!"
Ending the chapter! The next chapter will look at Orochimaru, Akatsuki, and Naruhi plans for the future. Before you guys ask, the Sandiame is not evil, he is just stupidly trusting and he allowed the civilians and Danzo free reign which made a massive fuck-up of Naruhi's childhood. The story will get better with each chapter. Thank you for following and favoriting this story and I will see all of you in the next chapter!
Thank you for reviewing!
bankai777: Yes, Naruhi will kill Sasuke but that will be after he does something unforgivable in her eyes and he will have a painful death.
(guest) justaguy: I know, I have looked and looked but I don't see an Empress of the West fanfiction and I am glad you will follow this story. And yes, I will use other characters from other franchises in the story.
DragonxLord: Thank you! I hope you like this chapter!
Pravus666: Naruhi will learn Nine-Tailed chakra mode, but she will focus on getting up to speed on training that was neglected by Kakashi so she doesn't rely on the Kyuubi to get her out of trouble and she will be traveling all over the elemental nations to get stronger. I was thinking about her wielding a war hammer but a kanabo sounds interesting, but I will have her with a war hammer for the beginning and I am going have her get the kanabo later.
Perseus12: Trust me, it will get worse for them before it gets better.
