Chapter Twelve: Chunin Exams Intermission Two


[2 Weeks Left Until Final Exam]

[Konoha]

[First Person View]

[Anko]

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7" I pulled the last ball out and stabbed the stick into the table

"8"

"Anko-san what did I tell you about stabbing those sticks into the table, you know I might end up making you pay for them" came the familiar voice of the owner

I smiled at her "Hehe"

"Anko"

I turned my head and saw 2 ANBU members

"Hm?"

"Hokage-sama needs you at his office"

I raised my eyebrow but then nodded "Right"

They left in a blur. I left my money on the table and made my way to the meeting place. I eventually arrived at the destination and saw Kakashi there.

"Ah Anko, you're here, this meeting can begin" said the Hokage

He gave a signal and the ANBU dispersed

"I'm sure you both know Sasuke Uchiha took this recent Chunin Exam."

He said as I nodded wondering where he was going with this

"According to Kakashi here it seems he was marked by Orochimaru" he said as he closed his eyes and blew out smoke

I widened my eyes "WHAT?! Orochimaru?! He was here?! Why are we barely being told? SHOULDN'T THIS BE A LOT MORE WORRYING?" I uncharacteristically yelled.

He was calm and so was Kakashi. What's going on here?.

"Kakashi shouldn't you be a lot more worried?! This is your student were talking about!"

"Anko I'd appreciate it if you let me finish"

"Right my bad Hokage-sama" I said and hold my tongue

"His Mark has been sealed, completely, Kakashi here has double and even triple checked as well as Jiraya. And every time he did he felt no trace of Orochimaru's chakra"

"WHAT? HOW?" I exclaimed

I couldn't believe my ears,

Did Kakashi or Jiraya finally manage to learn how to completely seal it?' I asked myself

Sarutabi smiled "Naruto sealed it, it seems he is quite proficient in Fuinjutsu, it runs in his blood after all"

"Naruto?! You mean the brat?"

"Yes, I mainly called you here to inform you"

I felt the mark on my neck pulse

'Can I really get rid of this mark? Can I really get rid of this? The one thing that connects me to him? Will I finally be free?'

I bowed "Thank you Hokage-sama, may I be free to go"

"Yes"

Before I left I turned to Kakashi.

"Kakashi where does he live"

He eye smiled and told he the location

I left as fast as I could, I felt my heart race in anticipation, now to find him.


[First Person View]

[Naruto]

I closed my eyes, breathed in and out. In. Out. In. Out. In. Out. I-

I stopped myself and responded to my instincts and jumped out the way, all I heard was the slight quiet whistling of the senbon.

'More'

I smiled and pulled out one of my father's kunai to attempt to block all the additional incoming senbon

'1,2, 3, 4, 5- gah, one of them hit"

I pulled it out and twirled it on my hand before returning it to its source and hoped to hit it

I felt a presence rapidly appear next to me, with barely enough time to respond I blocked the hit

'Gah, I feel slow' I didn't like it by the way

With barely enough time to gather my thoughts Haku appeared next to me again with the follow-up

Haku was fast, no doubt about it, I attempted to catch her kick, I did then threw her and the nearest tree I sensed

CRACK

Tsk, an Ice clone

Before I realized it Haku was in front of me.

"Boop" she said as she poked my cheek

I finally opened my eyes and Haku smiled at me

"I still don't see the practicality of this, you said it yourself, I have the perfect eyes" I asked inquisitively

"This isn't about it's practicality Naru-koi, this is about honing your instincts, if you somehow lost your eyes what will you do? The world of the shinobi is a tough one, one can never be too prepared" she said as she walked up to me and grabbed my face, she brought her face closer, I could feel her breath on my face

"And I will never forgive myself if anything ever happens to you" she said as she didn't give me time to respond as she closed the distance between our mouths

We separated to the sight of a Haku with a full-blown blush on her face

Kurumi turned to her "Hehe, sorry Haku-chan" she said sheepishly as a grin grew "Were you waiting for your turn?"

You could audibly hear her face sizzle "M-me?"

She looked down unable to respond

"Stop teasing her Kurumi, she'll do it when she feels safe"

"Hai hai no need to tear my head off for this" she waved it off

I looked over at her and gave her a smile "Glad to see your speed is still as impressive as ever"

"No such thing Naruto-sama, you were simply severely handicapped"

I instinctively patted her head "No, your speed and techniques are undoubtedly impressive, who's to say that maybe one day you'll be faster than me"

Her eyes widened "No no that's impossible" she waved it off

"You need to be more confident in your abilities Haku-chan, I know you can do great things"

She looked sheepishly at me "Are you sure?"

I smiled at her "That's not for me to decide"

"Right"

I felt a familiar sensation then turned to them

"Someone is outside"

I said as I left in a flash and they followed suit shortly after

When we arrived Kurumi turned into a small fox the same size as Miyako and Haku sat down on the nearest couch to wait.

I walked over to the door and already had a general idea of who it might be due to her chakra. I opened the door and to my surprise Anko immediately tried to pin me into the wall.

Before she realized it she was paralyzed and had 3 senbon sticking out. A fourth one hit and she fell on the floor unconsciously.

I looked at Haku with a slight deadpan

"Was that last one really necessary? I didn't even find out what she wanted"

She sheepishly looked at me "Sorry Naruto-sama it was just instinct"

'Anko was barely able to grab a single hand before she dropped I looked at Haku proudly, I was simply going to let her to see what her plan was, She's good'

"Hope you know that was a clone" I said as I walked behind her and the clone that was standing next to Anko dispersed

She got even more embarrassed when she realized I wasn't in any danger

[Two Hours Later]

After patiently waiting I noticed Anko start to stir. Her eyes started to open and she quickly stood up.

"What happened?" she asked slightly groggy

Her eyes once again widened as her memories shot back

She ran up to me and got on her knees and bowed all the way down until her forehead hit the floor

"Please" she said her voice slightly cracking

"Please remove my mark"

I looked at her inquisitively

'Mark?'

"Kakashi told me you were able to remove Sasuke's Curse Mark" she said as she still bowed

''Hn, can't say I'm surprised Sasuke told Kakashi'

I looked over at Kurumi

"I'd say do it Naru-koi"

'Are you sure? This requires your chakra'

"Yes I know but we can't simply leave her like this, she's breaking down as we speak, plus tee hee, you are the one who said we need to gather more allies, I see this as the perfect chance"

'Very well'

I looked over to her and was about to respond when she cut me off

"Please" she said looking up seeing my face for the first time since she arrived

"I'll give you anything, I'll give you money, my body, my soul, anything, please" she said as her voice cracked and tears slowly escaped her eyes

"All I want is to get rid of this mark, it connects me to him and reminds me of those days, it disgusts me, I hate myself for even living with this mark, I hate that it connects me to him, everyday I live knowing knowing fact that I'm still connected to him through this vile mark. I hate it. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it" she continued as tears continuously fell to the floor and she began to grit her teeth and kept looking down in shame

I walked up to her and lifted her head.

"Don't worry Anko-chan, I can fix you, I can get rid of this seal, the seal that connects you to that vile man, all I ask for you is your loyalty"

She looked at me in anticipation

"Can you really?"

"I gave her a reassuring smile "Yes, don't worry" as I instinctively rubbed her head and pulled her close to me until her head rested on my chest

"Please… I'll give you anything and everything I'll give yo-" she said but she could no longer continue her sentence as she broke down

I continued to hug her as she let loose

"Thank you.. thank-" she said, unable to finish.

I gave her a while to cool down then explained the process.

"In order to complete this seal you'll need to be completely bare by the way" I told her

I saw her face slightly light up

She then shyly nodded and began to undress ignoring the presence of Haku and the 2 foxes who simply watched in curiosity

As she undressed I summoned my ink and brush and began to mark down the symbols around the floor so that they circled her.

I looked at her

"Lay down here so I can finish the circle" I said to her and she nodded and layed down

I looked down and her and had to admit, she most certainly had an attractive body, just the right amount of muscle. By the time I finished ogling at her body the circle was complete.

"Ne, Anko-chan, just a small warning, this might feel slightly odd"

She meekly nodded not saying anything, I assume it's because she didn't want to possibly say anything that would change my mind.

I infuse more chakra into my ink and began the process

The moment the brush touched her she I heard her slightly groan at the cold ink.

I saw her face getting more and more flushed as I continued. She began to slightly squirm

'It seems it has a similar effect it had on Sasuke' I mused to myself as I looked at her nether region

After a while she lost consciousness and fell into a slumber

'Hm I remember Sasuke losing consciousness a lot faster, maybe it's because she's had the mark for longer?'

'Should I tease her about the mess she's making?' I mused to myself. I don't remember Sasuke leaving this big of a mess. I smiled slightly and shook those thoughts and continued to dye her body in ink

After I had finished, I looked down at her, at my piece of art.

"Beautiful"

Her body was full of markings, the majority of her body was covered in ink and something about it, something about the fact that I made this gave me a sense of pride, on not only my skills but my clan

I ran through a series of 8 seals and the ink began to glow and react

"Fuinjutsu: Tamashi no jokyo [Sealing Art: Soul Removal]"

I closed my eyes in preparation then smirked

I opened and saw a dark endless room

A dark chakra hit me and I immediately knew who it was

I laughed maniacally "So tell me Orochimaru, how does it feel to lose to me? I'm sure as a sannin it must hurt, it must destroy your pride, that a small little genin like me has been ruining your plans."

"You!" I heard his disembodied voice boom all throughout her mindscape

"You damned brat, you have no idea who you're messing with, once I gain Sasuke's body. I'm coming after yours, I am Orochimaru, the best of the great Sannin if you think a small brat like you is going to stop my plans you're severely mistaken"

I gave an all knowing smirk. This was kind of fun "I already stopped your plans, The Cursed Mark give a lot power but at the cost of their sanity, an impressive seal if I had to admit, the fact that someone like you knows such a vile seal doesn't surprise but you forget, I'm an Uzumaki, taking care of such seal is no issue for me, it's in my blood."

Orochimaru materialized near me

"Same mistake as last time, you cannot beat me, you were only able to run away like the little cockroach you are. And believe me, next time I fight you. You will not make it out alive." I said as I appear next to him in a blur and grabbed him by the throat

"Guh- T-trust me bhr- brat I will end-"

"Yea yeah whatever you say" I interrupted then squeezed his throat until he exploded, the area I was in also was cleared of any darkness and off to the distance I saw an Anko laying on the ground rolling around in pain. I walked up to her but it seems she wasn't responded to anything that happened in here, before I realized it her mindspace began to shake and rumble, we had to hurry

"Kurumi"

"Hai"

She showed up next to me in human form

We put our hands together and began to run through hand signs. I felt a portion of Kurumi's as well as a portion of my chakra leave my body. The two chakras played around with each other then both eventually combined and condensed into a small tight ball then began to rapidly expand like an explosion, the shaking stopped and I looked over and saw Anko sleeping soundly in her mindscape

I contently smiled and closed my eyes, upon opening them I was back in the outside world

"Wow! As amazing as ever Master!" Miyako said excitedly

I inwardly sighed as I felt 2 familiar chakra signatures near my house "I just can't seem to catch a break huh"

As I finished that sentence my eyes widened, I then smirked "Hmmm interesting, I'll definitely that to check that out"

I made a mental connection to a clone who was in Kurumi's storage room

'Don't dispel, stay put and grab that scroll, I'll be there in a bit'

I mentally felt the clone nod

"Kurumi, Haku, grab Anko and lay her down on my bed, don't put her clothes back on her skin is still sensitive from the process, instead grab her clothes and fold them neatly near her, she won't be waking up until a few days" they both nodded. Kurumi grabbed Anko and Haku grabbed her clothes

I made my way towards the door readying myself to greet my incoming guests

I waited until they knocked to open the door

"Yo Naruto, I'm here to deliver Sasuke"

"Tsk, don't say it like that" I heard them from outside

I inwardly laughed. I opened the door and was met with the sight of Kakashi and Sasuke

"Yo, teme, sensei" I waved at them

"Shut up"

"Yo" finished Kakashi with an eye smile

"So Naruto-kun, what have you learned?" he immediately asked

"Ah, Kakashi-sensei, a magician never reveals his secrets"

He rolled his eyes "Yea yea, whatever, It was worth a shit, well I leave Sasuke in your care"

Sasuke scowled at this "I'm not like some dog"

Kakashi simply waved it off "Hai hai" then left in a Shunshin

"So where is Haku?" asked Sasuke as she walked in

"She's attending to a guest"

She raised her eyebrow but decided to not pry any longer

I closed my eyes and took a large breath

'Here we go'

"Don't worry about it Naru-koi, I'm sure she's ready to know, she is similar to you, she lost her family and had no one, remember what I told you"


[Flashbacko]

"Naruto, I need to talk to you"

My attention was immediately captured, she never called me that.

I turned to her and she was standing with a slight smile, I could read a serious undertone to her smile though.

"I know that you know you can't achieve your dream alone, but you need to open up to the other girls a lot more, mainly Hinata and Sasuke, they need to know about us, about our plans, hiding this for any longer will possible make them feel like they've been lied to. They are both extremely reliant and not to mention loyal on you."

I looked down and sighed "Yes, I know, but- I don't know"

I heard her talking towards me. I felt her pull me into her large bosom

"You're strong" she slightly laughed

"You're definitely strong, but not even you can take on the world, physically yes but mentally... you still have a lot of work left, you may be strong, heck you are the strongest being in Konoha, but I know you care about those two, more than you let on."

"You know Kurumi" I said with a slight chuckle

"I can never win against you"

"Fu Fu Fu of course Naru-koi, I know you better than even you know yourself, I know you inside and out" she suggestively said as she rubbed her hands on my chest on my back

[Flashbacko End]


[Third Person View]

"Sasuke, undo your genjutsu" said Naruto

"Hm? Okay"

She undid and she stood in all her female glory, I examined her for a quick second

"You know, you're a lot cuter this way, why do you keep on going back?" Naruto asked

"Wh-what?! Cute?!" she exclaimed and a blush formed on her face

"Don't sprout idiocies" she tried to glare at Naruto, however a glare with a blush didn't mix well, for intimidating at least

"Who knows of you being a female by the way?"

"Only Hokage-sama, Kakashi, and a few clan heads know my true gender"

"I know the issue of getting turned into a breeding stock still stands, but you're strong enough to defend yourself, plus you have me, if anyone tries anything I'll have them deleted before they even realize it"

"Hn" she smirked "As if anyone would even be able to touch me"

Naruto sighed but a small smile made it's way to his face

"Well Sasuke, it's time" he said mysteriously

Kurumi and Miyako walked towards Naruto, Haku was still tending Anko

Sasuke was about to retort something when Naruto grabbed her arm and disappeared in a flash

Upon arrival, Sasuke looked disorientated and confused, she looked around herself clearly stumped

"Naruto where are we?" she asked as she grabbed her head slightly nauseous

"Sorry about that, that'll take time to get used to"

"Naruto what's going on?" she asked and put a bit more force into her voice

"I think its time for me to tell you about, everything"

"Just spit it out!" she was beginning to get impatient and slightly nervous, she hadn't seen him this serious

She noticed something, the second fox began to morph, a deep red powerful chakra surrounded it and began to morph then finalized into the shape of a female. Sasuke was more certainly 100% straight, however even she was in awe at person's beauty

She smiled at her

Her mind was running at one thousand miles per hour, she didn't know what was happening

She then looked at Naruto in hopes of getting any semblance of an explanation

"Sasuke"

Her eyes widened

What? Huh?

She stared at his eyes, they weren't the same beautiful blue eyes. They were red with ripples surrounding his pupil, and 9 tomoe spinning wildly

"You're eyes, they're similar to the Sharingan yet.."

She was flabbergasted, she didn't know another Dojutsu besides the Sharingan and the Byakugan existed

"How'd you get it" she asked

"It's a pretty long story, we have a lot to go through. Okay where to start, I'm a Jinchuriki, I hold the Nine-Tailed Fox inside me, well, not so much now" Said Naruto as he looked at Kurumi

"14 years ago when a masked man took control of Kurumi and attacked the village, my father fought him, and my mother who was the previous Jinchuuriki, had the Biju extracted out of her, normally that would kill someone but my mother was an Uzumaki, known for their longevity."

"Wait, father? You mean.. your father is"

"Yes, he is" is all Naruto responded not letting her finish her sentence

Sasuke's day was getting weirder and weirder she felt that any minute now she was going to wake up and this dream would end

"They both sealed Kurumi inside of me, as a child I would get ostracized and many attempts on my life were done, one time it became so bad that I almost died, I would have. If not for Kurumi here who saved my life I would have been dead. She explained everything to me and activated my eyes, I have the blood of the 2 children of Hagaromo, the blood of an Uchiha and the blood of the Senju, or specifically the Uzumaki who were blood relatives of the Senju. Due to this Kurumi was able to awaken the Dojutsu Hagaromo had, the Rinne-Sharingan, it has the same capabilities as your clan's Sharingan and the Rinnegan."

"You said you have Uchiha blood in you, are you..."

"No, not necessarily" Naruto interjected

"The Namikaze were derived from the Uchiha, there was a time where Uchiha's who didn't awaken their Sharingan would get outcast and be put in the lesser "branch" family, the Namikaze. I wouldn't have under normal circumstances been able to awaken a Sharingan even though I had Uchiha blood inside of me, but thanks to Kurumi even a little Uchiha blood inside my stream was all I needed for her to jump start it"

Sasuke has at a loss of words, she didn't know what to say, or even think

"Now my goal, I want to restore my clan, the Uzumaki resided in Uzushiogakure but every nation besides Konoha feared them because they were too strong and banded together to bring it down. However I intend in leaving Konoha to accomplish my goal"

'No, no, no, no, no'

'I can't let Naruto leave me as well' she felt horrible

First Itachi, now Naruto. She felt like breaking down.

Her Sharingan flared and she glared at Naruto with pain evident in her eyes "Are you going to leave me as well"

She tried to hide it, she really did, but the pain didn't fail to make itself present in her voice. A single tear ran down her eye.

Her vision blurred, another tear ran down. Before she realized it her vision was clear, clearer than ever before, she saw everything, she saw the bug that was 1 mile away as if it was right next to her. This was however short-lived as she winced

The surrounding world blurred, she heard Naruto speak however his words were muffled, they didn't go through. A loud constant ringing rang throughout her ears, instead of 2 tomoe Sasuke's Sharingan now had 3 and they danced around her pupil angerly

Sasuke went through enough mental distress at the thought of Naruto leaving her. Even she didn't realize how much she had gotten attached to the blond, the thought of him leaving her was too much pain to bear, she could handle it once, but twice was where she drew the line.

She knew she would regret it, it would haunt her, and she would probably not make it out of here, her mind was hazy, nothing made sense, all she could hear in her mind was Naruto's voice telling her he was leaving

'Why why why why'

Everything was blurry, but one thing was clear

"CHIDORI" she jabbed her arm at him

He luckily caught her wrist and yanked her

"SASUKE"

She broke out of her daze and realized what she had done, or was about to. The Chidori in her hand began to fizzle out and her hand began to shake, soon enough her entire body followed suit. Tears kept running down her face, had she just- Her hand began to shake

She felt Naruto grab underneath her chin and forced her face up.

Her eyes widened as she felt the blond close the distance between their mouths, she froze, she didn't know what to do. It felt right.

She closed her eyes and melted into his kiss, she fully submitted into it and let him take full control.

They eventually separated due to the lack of some pesky thing known as oxygen

Kurumi inwardly laughed "He's done it, he managed to tame an Uchiha, a female Uchiha at that" she said to herself in amusement

"Sasuke" he said firmly

She was still dazed everything has been happening too fast

"I'm sorry Naruto.. I don't know what happened.. I- Kill me"

Naruto knew she didn't mean it "I wouldn't do that to you Sasuke. I care about you"

Naruto inwardly was thankful Haku wasn't here, there was a high change she would instantly try to kill Sasuke

She looked at him and begged "Please don't leave me, I can't have another person I hold dear leave me"

She knew what she was saying, right now her feelings were in deep turmoil but if there was one thing she was positive of, even as much as she tried to previously deny it, she was undoubtedly and hopelessly in love with the blonde standing in front of her

"I don't want someone I love to leave me once again" she said in a pained whisper

Both Naruto and Sasuke fully knew what this entailed.

Sasuke has always thought of herself as an avenger, she believed that all there was in life was to get stronger and kill her elder brother. But, after meeting Naruto, her path became slightly blurred, memories she had locked deep within resurfaced and she wasn't sure what to believe. However right now, she knew her path, she will follow Naruto wherever he goes, attaining the power necessary to confront Itachi and force him to tell her the truth, of what really happened that night. She looked up.

'Then I will be able to restore my clan'

She faced Naruto with determination present on her face

"I will follow you Naruto, I simply ask of you to make me stronger, and when the time comes I want you to help me find the truth of what truly happened that night, but please, don't leave me"

"I won't, come there is something I need to show you"

She meekly nodded and followed him

"Look" said Naruto as he materialized a bit of water, the water was clear enough for her to see her reflection. She saw that instead of 2 tomoes she previously had, she now had 3, a fully matured Sharingan.

"H-how?" she asked stumped

"Do you know how your eyes work"

"Whats that supposed to mean?"

"Do you know how one normally would awaken their Sharingan and mature it"

She shook her head then paused. A memory broke though, she slightly shook

"My brother, he told me that night. "If you want eyes like mine. Kill your best friend, then come seek me"

Naruto shook his head "No, you see, everyone seems to believe the Uchiha are cold ruthless unloving people. But that is simply not true, in the contrary, they awaken these eyes because they love something so dearly. The Uchiha are one of the most loving people, but once they lose that person they held dearly something in their mind snaps and awakens their eyes. There is a stage after this Sharingan, when an Uchiha with a fully matured Sharingan experiences a deep negative emotion such as the death of a loved one, or of a best friend like your brother said they unlock the Mangekyo Sharingan, these eyes give you one of the following, the Susanoo, Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, Kamui, Kotoamatsukami, or Izanagi."

*wall of text incoming*

"With the Susanoo you can create a humanoid avatar that works as a shield and is made out of your chakra and fights for you on your command. With the Tsukuyomi you can cast a powerful genjutsu, said to be the strongest and can only be dispelled by the Rinnegan. With Amaterasu you can create the strongest flames that burn through everything as long as you can focus on your target. With Kamui you can travel to the Kamui Pocket Dimension you can move objects in and out of it at will and it said to be superior to The Yondaime's Hirashin since you don't need seals, however it isn't instantaneous. Kotoamatsukami is a subtle but powerful genjutsu that allows you to modify and change people's memories and replace them with false ones. However this ability can be used once every 10 years, but as your eyes grow stronger you can shorten this time. With Izanagi you can cast an illusion over reality allowing you to decide what is and isn't while it's active, neglecting any injuries, even fatal ones, even after death. Although it has its limitations its is mostly used defensively or avoiding lethal wounds. But I recommend not using it as it will remove your ability to use one of your eyes."

Sasuke instinctively felt her, they knew they were powerful, did her brother have those eyes? If so she was still leagues away from matching him. She grit her teeth, then breathily sighed

'No matter, I have Naruto'

"These eyes come with their own drawbacks though, this power isn't free, when you use these eyes they deteriorate your vision until you become blind. However, there is a way to counter-act that. when you take the eyes of someone whole also awakened their Mangekyo and implant them they turn into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, not only do they remove the blindness they also grant you the abilities of the abilities I mentioned."

"These eyes we have, are powerful. There is no doubt that people will try to take them from us. That's why I tried to get us into a habit of using these masks." said Naruto as his mask began to out of the leaves that were floating around

"Hinata's Byakugan, your Sharingan and my Rinne-Sharingan, all dojutstu"

Sasuke looked down at her mask. She grabbed it and put it on, she held this mask dearly, it is one of the first things Naruto gifted to her.

"Right"

"Let's start with something I've been learning myself"

She nodded

"First we're going to start with you closing your eyes"

"Huh?"

"Did I stutter? I said close your eyes"

"You just went on a huge monologue on how my eyes are powerful and you want me to not use them?!"

Naruto simply laughed "You see my cute little Sasuke, yes, your eyes are powerful, but tell me, when did you ever see me use my eyes?"

Her eyes widened, she hadn't. Naruto is one of the strongest people she knows, and he hadn't even used his trump card yet

"Yes, you have powerful eyes, but what happens if you somehow manage to lose those eyes?"

Kurumi who was hearing everything deadpanned "He stole what I said word by word"

Sasuke thought it over then sighed

"Fine"

"Before we start, there are some things I want to ask you. You can't just drop multiple bombs like that on me without expecting questions"

Naruto laughed "Yes, yes I know, well, go ahead shoot" He said as they both took their masks off,

She didn't know where to start "You said that your mother was the previous Jinchuriki, and that this masked man released "Kurumi", is this Kurumi person her" She said as she pointed at Kurumi

"Yes, she's my lover, I released her not too long ago, she's the one who has been training me, I almost died as a kid, that's when she was finally able to break through and contact me when told me everything"

Sasuke's stomach slightly dropped at the lover part

"If she's your lover, then" she felt her face heat up and she brought her fingers to her lips "What does that make us?"

"Hm? We can be whatever we want"

"No idiot, I meant like..." her voice was barely over a whisper "romantically"

"As I said, I plan on restoring Uzushiogakure my clan along with it. But in order to restore my clan I'll need offspring. Multiple offspring, so I plan on having multiple women"

She slightly smiled "I knew you were a pervert"

Naruto replied with "It was actually Kurumi's idea"

She looked surprised and looked at the redhead, she gave Sasuke a foxy grin and flashed her canine "Yup, I don't mind my Naru-koi having multiple women, but they must all understand that I'm number one in his heart" she said darkly

She then smirked at Sasuke "Why, do you want to be part of it"

Sasuke meekly looked at Naruto as if asking if we wanted her to

"I wouldn't mind you being one of them, I love strong women after all and you most certainly meet the criteria"

After Naruto said that Sasuke began to look smug "Hn, of course I'm strong"

"You know Sasuke, have you ever thought about staying female?"

Sasuke thought about it "Hokage-sama never forbid it, plus if you prefer to see me like this, I'd rather be like this"

Naruto laughed "It'll definitely be a shock to our old classmates"

"I still have more questions, when do you plan on leaving"

"I plan on making more connections to Konoha before leaving, I ideally want to leave sometime after the Chunin exams because there is someone I want to meet, while I have someone there helping me make connections, I want to go there myself because, its personal, someone I hold dear was affected by it"

"Do you mind me asking what it is?"

"I want to go help Zabuza fight in the Kiri Rebellion"

Her eyes widened "Zabuza?"

"Yes, when we were at the wave and I left for a while I was meeting with Zabuza, he was working as a mercenary to get money to help fund the rebellion. The reason it's personal to me is because Haku was affected by them"

"So I take it Haku wasn't a civilian after all"

"Right, she was the Hunter nin, she was working under Zabuza because he saved her after being homeless and familyless and gave her a purpose"

"Why are you telling me all of this? Aren't you being too trusting?"

Naruto laughed "I know you're smart enough to not betray me Sasuke, because if you do I wont hesitate to kill you" he said sternly his Rinne-Sharingan flaring

"Plus you wouldn't only be making yourself an enemy of me, but of Kurumi and Haku"

Sasuke turned to see Kurumi who smiled darkly and let a bit of chakra out to show she would stand no chance. She also heard Miyako yip, it had been a while since she heard her

"Right, you would also be making an enemy of Miyako"

She looked smug after that comment

"Don't worry Naruto, I won't do such a thing" she said as she bowed

"Yes I know I trust you enough

She smiled 'Also, who knew I was this submissive... I kind of like it' she thought to herself. Her personality was so different when it came to Naruto, he made her experience this feeling for the first time

"I now have a question for you Sasuke"

"Hm?"

"What's your name?"

"Sasuke" she said dumbly not understanding

Naruto faulted, he kind of walked into that one

"No idiot your real name"

Ohhhhh

"It's Satsuki" she said curtly

Naruto nodded "Sounds cute"

She blushed "H-hai, let's get to training then" she said as she put on her mask to hide her blush then Naruto followed suit

"Right, start by closing your eyes and taking deep breathes. In and out"

She obeyed and starts to take deep breaths, before she realized it she knew Naruto had moved, he made no noise but she knew he was on the move. She lifts up her right arm to intercept something. It hits and she gets knocked back. She gets up rapidly because she felt him on the move again. Her senses betrayed her and she felt a punch on her gut, she grabbed her stomach in pain but was soon launched by a hook to her face

She groaned 'God I forgot how much of a slice driver Naruto was, even worst than Kakashi, he at least held back so he wouldn't injure me but not Naruto. I just confessed my love to him and we shared a kiss couldn't he have held back even a little'

"Hm, is all the great Uchiha can do, damn, I thought the legendary clan would be better"

Right, he would also get a bit sadistic

As soon as she got up she was barely able to sense him coming 'Behind'

It was too late because he already had kicked her sending her once again flying

"Focus Satsuki"

"I can't focus with you tossing me around like a ragdoll" she retorted

"You're too focused on trying to focus on me"

"What the hell is that supposed to mean"

'Shit'

He appeared in front of her again and punched her gut again, this time a bit harder.

She definitely felt this one, the impact forced her to open her eyes in pain

"Satsuki, eyes"

She was on the ground "I know I know sheesh" she said as she attempted to get back up

These were going to be a long 2 weeks.

[3 Hours Later]

A beat and battered Sasuke laid on the ground

"Okay, I think that's enough for today. Tomorrow we will change your seals, each level will now add 100 lbs, I will also increase it to level 4"

Sasuke was too tired to properly protest "What level are your seals?" she managed for force out

"28"

Still too tired to be shocked.

Naruto walked up to her and took her mask off then held her bridal style and smiled at her "You're making progress Satsuki, I felt you getting more and more responsive. Keep this up" she mustered enough energy to flash a small smile.

Satsuki amove all loved it when he praised her.

She then fell into a deep slumber.

Naruto Shunshin'd back to his house and laid Satsuki in a different room

Naruto sighed

"Now to the issue at hand" he said as he began to disappear in a swirl

He appeared at the place where all the scrolls were, it, however, looked different, instead of scrolls scattered around the ground he had his clones organize the place, on the walls there were multiple sections, one for each of the elements, one for subelements, one for genjutsus, even one section that had a few summoning scrolls.

Kurumi and Miyako showed up next to Naruto in a flash.

He had finally become quite proficient in the Hirashin, he even began to play around and experiment with the seals. He came up with a variant, it would work similar to the regular Hirashin but instead, it would teleport a person to one place, in a linear path. Naruto applied this to Kurumi, Haku and Miyako, all they would have to do is apply chakra to their seal and they would Hirashin to Naruto, even though they couldn't utilize it as well at the regular Hirashin it was still a useful tool.

"Woooow Master this place looks so cool" said Miyako excitedly as she ran around

"Ara, this place is coming along nicely, compared to how it used to look." said Kurumi as she looked around

"Boss" they all turned to look at the clone that was walking up to him, he gave Naruto the scroll and walked away

He looked at the scroll. It was a sealing scroll, however he needed a certain type of blood to active it, Uzumaki blood. Interesting.

He bit his thumb and smeared his blood on it.

"I hope it isn't anything too big" he said as he realized they were still in Kurumi's storage area. Something, or rather someone poured out of the seal and began to materialize. His eyes slightly widened in realization as the person form was nearly materialized and quickly called upon some of Kurumi's chakra

The person who came out was a female, she was wearing a long hooded black cloak with a small Uzumaki clan crest on her long sleeves that covered her arms and hands completely. She had relatively long red wavy hair that seemed to shine, it was tied up in a high loose ponytail, she had 2 locks that framed her face and even though her hair was tied up she still had bangs that covered her eyebrows and nearly covered her eyes. She had an eternal deadpan look on her eyes and held a large scroll on her back.

"Where am I" she asked to no one in particular

"In the Land of Fire a few miles from the Land of Waves" responded Naruto

"Land of Waves? I see, so we're close." she said, then turned to Naruto "You are the one who summoned me? What are your intentions?" she asked

She knew she was powerful, but even she knew that she would definitely struggle with him, she analyzed him, gravity seals, storage seals, chakra depletion seals, chakra masking seals,

'Impressive' she thought to herself

Before Naruto could respond she turned and saw the two who accompanied him, her eyes widened slightly

She bowed "Kyuubi-sama" She instantly recognized that chakra, her clan were the only ones who can hold her. In Uzushio it was an honor to be chosen to hold the Great Kyuubi, after all, it was a tradition started by Mito Uzumaki, wife to the famed First Hokage and one of the strongest Kunoichis to exist.

She turned to look at Naruto then Kurumi "I see, he is your holder"

She paused

"No, was your holder. What a surprise, it was Uzumaki tradition for all the holders of the Kyuubi to be female, however, it seems Kushina-sama didn't uphold the tradition" she said as she closed her eyes

"Kind of hard to choose the perfect successor when she's doing it on her deathbed" said Naruto and she simply nodded

"And who's this? A fox summon? Last I remember no one was allowed to sign it, and they tried they would get denied by Hikari-sama" she said as she opened her eyes again and looked at Miyako with an eyebrow raised

She bowed to Naruto "I'm Umeko Uzumaki, you are?"

Naruto smirked "I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and I am going to restore Uzushiogakure and revive my clan" he told her

Her eyes slightly widened and a small smile overtook her face "Is that so, are those your intentions?"

"Of course"

"It however seems we are not in Uzushio" she said as she looked around

"This scroll was hidden in Uzushio, how it ended up here is a mystery, speaking of, what is this place"

Kurumi responded sheepishly "You see, I commanded my foxies to gather every possible scroll they could and I didn't tell them to stop"

Umeko looked around "This place seems to be riddled with seals, if it wasn't for you I would have been dead" she said as she turned to look at Naruto

"Kurumi heavily sealed this place, if you don't have Kurumi's charka in you or on you, you would have been a goner, I luckily was able to coat you in a thin layer of her chakra to avoid this."

"I see, thank you" she said calmly

"Why were you sealed inside a scroll?" asked Naruto getting to the important parts. He felt like he could trust his person, Naruto considered himself to be a cautious person yet this person didn't alert him whatsoever.

"I was one of Ashina-sama's strongest personal ANBU, when we were attacked he sealed me in a scroll that could only be opened with an Uzumaki's blood, he ordered for me to find the intentions of the one who opened the scroll and if their path was an honorable one I was to guide them into restoring Uzushio, if not, I was to kill them and seal myself again until the next one came, it was a huge gamble, but it seems to have paid off as I found the perfect person" she said as she kneeled before Naruto

"Please let me help you lead Uzushiogakure"

He smiled, this made his plans so much easier "Very well"

"Have you been to Uzushio yet?" she asked curiously

Naruto shook his head "No, I have been meaning to go but I have been held up" he said as his mind wandered to Jiraya, Haku, Satsuki and Anko

"I see, then let us go" she said as she ran through a series of hand signs then they disappeared without warning

When they arrived she took a pause for a moment. Naruto looked at her and saw her glazed eyes, he also sadly looked down and around.

Wow, Master is this the place your clan came from"

"Yea, it is" he said as he turned to her and smiled

"Ooooh so this will be our new home" she said as she stared out at the ruins

Even though he wasn't familiar with this place he could still feel a connection to it, for a part of his life Naruto had thought he was a clanless nobody, and now here he is, in the Land of Whirlpools, the homeland of his clan, his people, he couldn't help but feel pride, pride that he is going to bring his clan back

He turned to Umeko and saw her take a large breathy sigh and began to walk around

For someone's who's face holds little to no emotion she seemed to be quite emotional at the moment.

She slightly smiled as if she remembered a fond memory when she walked near a building

"This was where I studied to become an ANBU, I remember Ashina-sama personally talked to me because I had been chosen by him to protect him, I remember the pride that swelled me that day." she said melancholically

She turned back to Naruto and saw he was placing a seal on the ground near the entrance

"What is that?" she asked him

She already had somewhat of an idea of what it was but decided to ask either way

"This is a Jutsu my father created, that he passed this jutsu down to me, the Hirashin"

'Mastery of a time-space technique at this age, he isn't much younger than me, 4 maybe 5 years younger than me yet has mastered a time-space technique, while not being taught in Uzushio, and fuinjutsu of that degree wasn't taught anywhere that wasn't Uzushio' she thought to herself as she began to wander on the search for something

Naruto had noticed that Umeko had gone quite far from them, they reached her and she seemed to be looking for a building, Naruto was about to ask when he saw her perk up and made her way towards a building that wasn't that badly destroyed. She kept looking around as if she was searching for something, she kept on looking until she found something

She picked it up from off the floor and wiped off some dirt then smiled, even though there were chunks of it missing and it was in horrible condition

"This is the ANBU mask Ashina-sama gave me when he appointed me. I was sealed without it, this was where the scroll I was in was supposed to be"

"Here, let me fix this" said Naruto as he walked closer to her

He began to gather Inton (Ying Release) Chakra on his palms and placed his hand on her mask, it spread around the mask restoring it back to it's former state

She looked at him slightly stumped 'Inton? Last time I saw someone use this was when Ashina-sama created her' she said to herself

"Thank you" she said and smiled at him, she pocketed her mask "Let us continue, we're almost at our destination" she said as they all nodded

They all eventually arrived at a torn-down building. They walked inside the building and immediately felt unable to move and enter the vicinity, not a moment passed before they felt themselves move

'What was that' it was unlike anything Naruto has felt before

They saw her cast 14 hand signs and the floor opened up revealing a staircase leading down opened up. They reached a dead end, but she poured chakra into the wall and it opened up

"Come this way" she said as they all followed, after a few minutes of walking they arrived to a small room

"This is the true test to see if you are fit to lead" she said and she walked up two swords that were hung up

"These are the two swords the Leader of Uzushio wield, one targets the soul and the other targets the body, these swords are the epitome of what the Uzumaki are capable of, Ashina spent countless years forging these swords for himself and his successor, countless seals have been added to make the swords be the best they can, the best Uzumaki blacksmiths the world had to offer had also worked on perfecting these. Come, attempted to hold them both, if she rejects you, you are not fit, she will see deep inside your soul, deep inside your entire being. The power of the Shinigami will be used to judge you, If not worthy you will die, and forever lie in the stomach of the Shinigami himself. But if you are worthy, you will gain the power to wield the 2 strongest weapons humanity has to offer" she said as she with an air of pride looked at Naruto then she slightly smiled

"But the fact that you were allowed to even enter this room is a good sign, I trust you will pass"

Naruto smirked "Well if the Shinigami doesn't deem me fit, then I will force it to" he said as he walked up to them confidently and grabbed both swords

Both swords shook in his hands and began to glow, everyone noticed the temperature was getting higher in the room, more specifically near the swords. However, Naruto didn't feel the heat, instead, he felt the swords invite him even more.

Chakra began to form around the sword, it grew and grew until it manifested. Before them appeared death itself, Naruto started it down, he didn't show but but it struck fear into his very core

"The next leader of Uzushiogakure." its voice rang deep, it wasn't loud but they could still feel the ground beneath them crack and vibrate in response

It stared Naruto down, he stared right back at it his resolve not wavering.

"Such a young boy, even in the face of death, even with fear running through his veins he continues"

"A worthy successor Ashina" it finished before disappearing again

"Heh, I knew I could trust you Umeko" a disembodied voice rang out

Her eyes widened and she kneeled "Ashina-sama" she said without raising her head even though she felt him manifest in front them

"I have found the one, your successor, I believe-" she paused

"No... I know he is the one who will restore Uzushio, he will bring it to its previous glory"

The old man looked at Naruto, he then closed his eyes

"Very well, I'm entrusting her to you, I trust you to bring back the former glory of Uzushio" was all his he said as he disappeared

He then looked down at the two swords, they changed from what they were before

He looked at Umeko who was kneeling before him

"You can rise Umeko" he said

'What's with everyone bowing to me today' he mused. He sort of liked it.

"The swords, they changed" he said as he inspected them

"Yes, she changes, she adapts to your ideal shape, if the situation calls for it, she will adapt however needed. I do not know every detail there is to her but Ashina-sama told me some things. I think he intended for you to discover her capabilities yourself. The sword is made to adapt to her owner, she is meant to grow with her owner, the sword is only as strong as the wielder it"

"Hai hai, and my Master is most certainly strong hehe" they heard a voice ring out. they all looked at the source of the voice, the swords

"WAAAAAAAAH Master! Did the swords just talk?!" exclaimed Miyako

"Yes, it seems like she did" replied Naruto inspecting them more. The handle was all black on both blades with multiple writing them. Seals. They had red lining and an Uzumaki crest etched onto it. One held the Kanji for soul and the other held the Kanji for body.

The "Soul" sword was a dark almost translucent color. He poured chakra into it and it flared. He attempted to pour elemental chakra into it and it didn't respond. He attempted to cut himself but it stopped, not allowing itself to connect to his flesh.

He looked at the "Body" was a deep Damascus black that seemed to shine. He brought his finger. It stopped again. The swords refuse to hurt their master.

The "Soul" can't physically hurt a person but it holds the power to cut someone's chakra, their soul. And the "Body" blade sharp enough to cut through the body no matter what.

The "Mind" and "Body" that make Eien.

"Kyaaaa my maiden heart can't handle my name being called out by a cute boy like that. It's so nice not having an old geezer as a master" she exclaimed

Umeko began fumbling over her words at hearing Ashina-sama being called an old geezer

Naruto didn't know how but he imagined her facial expressions, something akin to a seventh sense, nonetheless, he felt a smile creep his face, he felt like he was going to get long with her.

Umeko coughed into her hand in order to bring attention to herself and regain her composure

"Naruto-sama, you are a Konoha shinobi, they are your allies yes but how will you rule from there"

"I intend to leave Konoha, I will travel the world looking for scattered Uzumaki's and gaining connections that will be beneficial for Uzushio" he told her

"Master, master, I'm going to have a look inside your mind and soul, Kyaaaa being connected this deeply, is this what they call true love" he heard the Eien say before she became silent

Naruto grabbed the 2 scabbards laying near the sword each had their own scabbard, with their respective Kanji. He hung one piece of Eien on his back and another on his waist.

They began to walk outside and Naruto began to explain what he will have Umeko do

"Umeko, I want you to stay here and help me rebuild Uzushio, I will leave clones to help build, you are the only one who was familiar with Uzumaki architecture and I want to uphold that."

Naruto placed a Hirashin seal on her "Pulse your chakra into this and it will alert me and I'll be here in a flash" he said as Umeko also placed a seal on him

"And the same applies to you"

"There is another thing" she continued

She applied another seal on him, she then touched her heart

"This allows us to speak" she said and Naruto heard her in his mind

"Touch the seal and attempt to talk to me" she told him

"I see, this is very useful, you'll definitely have to teach me this" he told her

"Right" she said with a slight smile

"Well, Umeko, I have to go, I will keep in touch with you"

She nodded and watch him leave in a flash along with his partners

She smiled and looked at the sky "Thank you" then turned to the clones Naruto left and began to order them


[2 Days Left Until Final Exam]

[Third Person View]

[Sora and Yune]

"Ne ne hurry up, I wanna go fight Naruto-sama already" Sora excitedly said as they neared a temple that was a few meters outside Konoha

Yune simply smiled at her partner's antics "Fu Fu Fu don't worry Sora, the time where we reveal ourselves to him will come soon" she said before continuing

"We stayed in the village for 4 weeks in hopes of seeing more of Naruto but in all our time there we couldn't find him anywhere, disappointing really"

Sora then pulled a blade out of the many she held and twirled it around her finger then looked at the shiny reflective blade "Only thing I'm disappointed in is the fact that I wasn't the one who fought him."

Her smile grew and a blush spread throughout her face as her eyes glazed "Hehehe can't wait til I can strain my blade with his beautiful blood" she laughed as she licked her blade

"Soon, soon I'll fight him" she shrieked in anticipation

"Ne ne Yune-chan, how good do you think his blood tastes" she asked with hearts in her eyes

"I don't know, I'm not a blood obsessed maniac like you Sora"

"Mouuu~ don't say that Yune-chaaan, that was mean" Sora childishly said

"Yea yea whatever calm down were almost arriving" said Yune as she looked at a small statue of The Kyuubi, both looked at each other and nodded, in synchrony, they both ran through a long series of 20 hand signs then poured their chakra into the statue.

Space around them kept on distorting and blurred until they saw they arrived at a breathtakingly large underground city. Scattered all around the village were endless statues of the Kyuubi. The village was swarmed with citizens, each armed in one way or another. They kept walking until they arrived at another temple and got to the center where someone was seated

""Fumi-sama"" they said as they bowed

"Ah, Sora-chan, Yune-chan, how did the mission go" she said with a smile

"He's powerful, more powerful than I had originally thought, his taijutsu is as strong if not even stronger than Sora's it seems like he's made contact with the fox summons, surprised Hikari-sama didn't alert you" Fumi raised her eyebrow at that

"Anything else?"

"He has knowledge of Fuinjutsu, he's is well adept with the sword, probably not at Sora's level but he held his own against me, he had Raiton (Lighting Release)and Doton (Earth Release). That was all I discovered before I forfeited the match. He is exceptional at hiding, in all the time we were there we couldn't find him, we're not entirely sure if he was even at the village"

Fumi pulled a fan out and covered her mouth then closed her eyes and nodded "Very well done, I'll send you guys back so you can compete"

She closed her fan and ran through some hand signs. Yune and Sora disappeared and Fumi smiled to herself and looked up"The amount of self-control needed to hold myself back" she said as she closed her eyes


AN: Surprise surprise, prolly didn't expect another relatively long chapter this early, but i felt like being generous for those who waited for an update for a while (Also putting this on the top so people can actually see it but tell me if you actually read the ANs because I feel like I'm DonoWalling myself, I do tend to ramble about my plans ideas and random stuff on these though)

I have this really crazy idea, I recently found out this exists and I enjoyed it, not sure I should be telling u guys this but I want feedback on what you guys think, so I want to have a gender-bend Madara, I like the Uchiha's after all and there aren't enough female Uchiha's, plus Madara is actually my favorite Naruto character, more I think about it the more I actually want to do it, tell me what u think.

I feel like a lot was done on this chapter, I had originally thought to skip over this month like a lot of fics do but I felt like I wouldn't be able to move the story the way I had wanted if I did. Ok, but first, hear me out ok, so Satsuki... I know it's realllllly overused for female Sasuke name but like come one it's better than anything I could think of.

I'm leaving an updated harem list, I'm still open to additions if I can figure out a way to add them, however adding any more will be both a blessing and curse a blessing because more scenarios to write and think about, but also a curse because... well more scenarios to write. But dw I'll do it for my cute little readers. Plus more girls for Naruto to gather like Pokemon seems like a swell idea

I finally decided to push Naruto and Satsuki's relationship. We all know Uchiha's are kind of unstable so I tried to depict that as much as I can. I has fun writing her part though.

I intend to give every girl their own moment, it might seem like Hinata specifically has been sidelined but trust me I haven't forgotten about her, in actuality, I was thinking of ways I can add a little bit of her in this chapter but I couldn't think of a good way without making it seem odd because in this chapter I imply that Naruto has been busy those past 4 weeks, instead of training I had Naruto do some other stuff because come on, he's busted rn, he's practically a day one League champ.

Speaking about overpowered Naruto got 2 broken overpowered sentient swords, surprise surprise, it's a female sword lol. Don't worry Naruto will keep on getting stronger, why do you think I have girls with Kekkei Genkais in there, Naruto is on a quest to revive Uzushio and make it the strongest village, and to do that he'll need lots of power, fame and allies, all things I have planned and envisioned already, and one that will happen relatively soon. Also I saw someone say to not nerf characters and I'll keep that in mind, I'll try to give characters their moment to shine or acknowledge their strengths.

I don't know if anyone noticed but I changed the synopsis for the story. When I came up with this story like 2 years ago I had originally had a completely different idea on where I wanted to take this fic. Also changed

To be fully transparent I took the Uzumaki's getting sealed and released by another fic, I can't remember which doe, if anyone has an idea can u tell me

I introduced 2 of the OCs I had planned and give a glimpse of one of the 2 mystery girls, I'm still working out on what I want the other girl to be like, on another note, can I say, writing emotions is more difficult than I had imagined it, I don't know how well I did with Anko and Satsuki's moment, I want to think I did fine but I honestly don't know, I was listening to sad Hiroyuki Sawano music while writing it to get into my feels, tried my best to convey how desperate Anko is to rid herself of the Cursed Mark. Please tell me if I did fine or if I didn't what I could improve on. Though I do have to admit I don't know why I enjoyed writing Anko's part.
