Hello everyone.
I have been enlightened by this pairing and decided I wanted to try something new completely because this is the pairing I have found myself reading and loved them so here I am writing a story for them.
Pairing: Tobirama and Naruko.
Enjoy the chapter.
Naruko Uzumaki the holder of the legendary nine tailed fox. All she has ever wanted was to be accepted by the village she loved so much. But not one person would give her the time of day. It was sad and it was beginning to eat away at her so she began to wonder was there any point to living at all or maybe just maybe she was born in the wrong time frame.
"Naru, we should get going before they come back and do more damage." Kurama the nine tailed fox said to his host and also his friend.
"What's the point Kurama? They will just find me anyway and no one cares to stop them." Naruko said feeling defeated.
"If you don't get your ass up right now Naruko Uzumaki I will take over your body and run away for us. I'm not ready to die and neither are you." Kurama threatened.
She got up knowing that Kurama would actually do what he said he would do. He wasn't the type to make ideal threats. She moved herself as fast as she could through the forest of death. The problem was that she felt someone coming after her and she knew they were going to hurt her so she sped up. A kunai flew through the air almost hitting her if not for her ducking out of the way.
"Kurama, I need some of your chakra." Naruto said hearing a grunt in approval and put the extra chakra in her feet so she could move faster.
It was too late though the person caught up knocking her into the river bank. Then she felt a few more chakras coming and knew she was going to get hurt.
"Stupid fox," a man said while hitting her in the face.
Naruko knew any retaliation would be futile because she knew she would get in trouble for it. The beating went on for an hour and she knew she was bleeding everywhere at that moment. She just wanted to die.
'I just want to die.' Naruko thought hating her life. 'If only I wasn't born in this era.' Naruko thought to herself.
She didn't understand why she deserved this even if the fox was inside her.
"Let's just leave her and let her bleed out. No one will find her here." another person said making the guy on top of her who was hitting her move off her.
She felt spit land on her face and didn't bother to move her arm to take it off her face. It was a good thing she locked Kurama up or they all would have died. When she knew everyone was gone she wiped the spit off her face.
"Kit, I am sick of this if you don't do something about them attacking you then I will. I don't care if they are afraid of you because of me you don't deserve the treatment you're getting. If your parents were alive they wouldn't stand for this shit." Kurama growled out. "Back in the day it used to be a prior when someone hosted me now it's a curse. The foolishness is getting highly unsettling. If we were in the past this wouldn't even be happening." Kurama said as he paced in the cage.
"Kurama… just… calm… down." Naruko whispered out as tears started to fall from her eyes.
She could barely breathe and she was using all her chakra and his to heal herself so she would at least feel better but it wasn't changing how she felt inside her heart.
"Stop healing me Kurama just let me die." Naruko whispered softly.
"What in the hell are you talking about? I will not let you die. Not only are you MY host but you are MY friend." Kurama growled at the outrage of his only friend.
"I can't live like this Kurama." Naruko said sadly.
"Just go to sleep I will handle everything." Kurama said as he planned to heal and then go to sleep himself.
Kurama took over her body and walked her to a place to sleep in the woods and then put up a barrier so no one or nothing could get to them. Then went to sleep along with her.
Naruko wasn't sure what was first to wake her. The rough body against hers or the fact that she heard the talking around her.
'Who is by me? No... Who is carrying me?' Naruko thought.
"Kurama?" Naruko called out.
"No, my name is Tobirama. This is my brother Hashirama and my best friend Izuna." the man that was holding her answered.
Naruko couldn't believe her eyes she was staring at two of the previous Hokage's of her village.
'Where the hell am I? Holy shit that guy looks like Sasuke.' Naruko thought completely freaked out.
"Just calm down. We're not going to hurt you." Hashirama said calmly sensing her uneasiness.
"This is fucking crazy." Naruko said jumping out of Tobirama's arms then crumpled down in pain because her body was still healing.
"You might not be able to see yourself but you are severely injured and we're taking you to the doctor to get healed." Izuna answered calmly as he watched the girl wither into herself.
"I will be fine." Naruko answered but it was like she whined out the words as she held her ribs.
Tobirama didn't take that as a good answer and just picked the blonde up again and started walking. He made sure not to touch any of the bruises.
"Let me down." Naruko growled out but he ignored her.
Naruko just stopped trying to get him to put her down because it was starting to get a little too painful to move and started looking at her surroundings.
"So what's your name?" Hashirama asked.
"Naruko," Naruko answered.
"Weird name," Hashirama pondered and walked further ahead.
"He's weird," Naruko muttered making Izuna chuckle.
"Where are you from?" Tobirama asked.
"I don't even know how to answer that. I fell asleep in the woods and woke up in your arms." Naruko answered honestly.
"HASHIRAMA! TOBIRAMA! IZUNA! WHERE IN HEAVENS HAVE YOU BEEN?" Madara screamed making Hashirama jump back.
"I think I need some water." Naruko said softly getting a nod from Tobirama.
"How did you get all these injuries?" Tobirama asked as he walked past a seething Madara and a pleading Hashirama and a chuckling Izuna.
"I was attacked by some villagers." Naruko responded.
"Why didn't you just fight back? I can feel you have immense amount of chakra." Tobirama asked as he handed her some water and sat her down.
"I was told to never attack the villagers or I will get punished even if it's to defend myself." Naruko answered honestly.
"Kit, where the fuck are we? I was asleep along with your ass and now we're in the fucking past. What the fuck?" Kurama screamed waking up suddenly when he felt Madara's chakra.
'I don't know Kurama.' Naruko thought to him.
"That is insane. So you're supposed to take abuse then. How old are you?" Tobirama asked as he noticed she zoned out for a moment.
"That's how they are in my village. I just turned eighteen." Naruko answered.
"Your mine and Izuna's age. The Hokage to be is my brother so we should talk to him about what is going to happen with you. Do you plan to go back to your village?" Tobirama asked.
"Your brother is the Hokage to be? How old is he?" Naruko asked shocked.
"My brother is five years older than me. Why does it matter?" Tobirama asked turning his head to the side.
"I was just saying… was it even safe for the Hokage to be out and about?" Naruko asked not sure where she was going with this one.
"I was safe. My brother and my best friends little brother was there so nothing would have happened to me." Hashirama said coming into the room Tobirama set Naruko down in so she could get water.
"Why the hell did you three bring a stranger to the village? You damn idiots." Madara yelled making Naruko flinch by the sudden loudness and the sound of his voice alone.
"Calm down Madara. She is injured and was in desperate need of some healing." Tobirama said brushing his brother off of him.
"Who are you?" Madara asked aggressively.
"Can you not look at me with your eyes? They freak me out." Naruko said turning away from the red that reminded her of Sasuke Uchiha her long time crush that was cruel to her when he found out how she felt.
"How dare you?" Madara screamed appalled.
Izuna was on the brink of tears trying to hold his laugh in. Tobirama didn't bother holding back the smirk that appeared on his face. This girl was funny and he was starting to like her.
"Sorry I just knew someone with your eyes and didn't really have a good experience with them." Naruko said and Tobirama could see the pain in her eyes as she spoke.
"Madara get out. Hashirama and I will talk to her." Tobirama said making Naruko look up to him with a grateful look and relief.
"And would if she attacks one of you?" Madara asked irritated.
"We will be fine Mada, just wait outside the room and when we're done I will talk to you about what was said." Hashirama said calming his friend down.
That made the Uchiha brothers leaves the room rather quickly. Both brothers just sat there expecting her to just start talking.
"Where should I start?" Naruko asked looking at the expectant Senju brothers.
"Start by why you were in the forest to begin with." Tobirama answered.
That was the main question he knew his brother was curious by despite Naruko already telling himself.
"I was attacked by a group of people. And before you ask no I don't know who did it because I didn't bother to look up. I don't know who the people were. I don't even know if they were a guy or a girl. I only heard two voices talking and they were both guys. Kurama decided that we would stay the night there so we could heal our body and then I woke up to you carrying me in the woods." Naruko answered.
"So why didn't you defend yourself? Or did you defend yourself?" Hashirama asked.
The look in Naruko's eyes went hallow and both brothers were taken back by the look unsure of what to do.
"The elders of my village said that if I ever did I would get punished instead of them. I defended myself once and was publicly punished." Naruko answered as she felt her body healing faster.
"What a preposterous thing to do. Are you a ninja?" Hashirama asked as his brother just listened.
"Yes, I'm not really sure how good though seeing as no one ever wanted to teach me anything." Naruko answered.
"So you don't know any jutsus?" Hashirama asked.
"I do," Naruko answered.
"Can you wait right here really quickly while me and my brother talk to the other two?" Hashirama asked standing up.
Hashirama was such a passionate man he couldn't help it. He wanted to help the girl that he barely knew. He could tell that his brother wanted to help her too and was determined to get Izuna and Madara on board before he went to his father about it. He may be just becoming the Hokage but his dad still held immense power over the people.
"Yes," Naruko said nodding her head making Hashirama nod his head and walk out the room.
Tobirama eyed her one more before following after his brother. He knew the girl was planning on running once he left the room but couldn't help but understand why she wanted to.
"So what's going on?" Madara asked once the brother's got out the room.
"She got attacked and told us that if she would have defended herself she would have been punished herself. How could any village head do that to their own shinobi?" Hashirama expressed irritated.
"Damn, why don't we try to incorporate her into our village?" Izuna offered.
"NO absolutely not. Would if she is feeding you two a sob story to get sympathy so we take her in and then she kills us because we believed she was an ally." Madara stated.
"Come on Mada, it's rather obvious that she is not an assassin. She was really banged up and still was when we found her. She was more scared of us when she finally woke up then we were of her." Hashirama defended.
"I agree, one look in her eyes said that she was terrified and unsure of where she was." Izuna agreed.
"Izuna, you're supposed to be my brother and agree with me." Madara complained.
"I'm just saying the truth." Izuna said shrugging his shoulders.
"Why don't we have someone watch her for a certain amount of time to see if she is here to harm or could be helpful to us?" Hashirama declared.
"That sounds like a great idea." Izuna said.
"Who the hell would do it? You can't because you will be Hokage in a week and I will be your guard." Madara declared.
"I can't do it father won't let me." Izuna said shrugging his shoulders.
They all turned to Tobirama who didn't say anything through the whole conversation.
"What?" Tobirama asked with a raised eyebrow from everyone staring at him.
"You have to watch her. She seems the most comfortable with you anyway." Hashirama said.
"What makes you think she is comfortable with me?" Tobirama asked.
The door to the room opened revealing Naruko.
"I don't mind if it's Tobirama." Naruko said softly then closed the door back up.
"There goes her answer. So it's settled then." Hashirama declared happily clapping his hands walking away with Madara, Izuna following closely behind them.
Tobirama grunted and walked back inside the room sitting in the seat in front of Naruko.
"Why did you choose me?" Tobirama asked.
"Because Madara freaks me out. Hashirama is about to be Hokage and Izuna looks like this guy I knew that makes me feel uncomfortable. You're also the only person I feel comfortable around." Naruko answered honestly.
"Why?" Tobirama asked confused on what he did to make her feel comfortable.
"I don't know," Naruko said shrugging her shoulders.
"Kit maybe we should tell him about me." Kurama suggested.
'I don't know if that's a good idea.' Naruko thought.
"But Kit he may be able to help us." Kurama said. "We need to get back to our time. We can't mess up the balance." Kurama said.
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT!" Naruko screamed aloud making Tobirama lean away from her. "Sorry, I wasn't talking to you." Naruko said raising her hands up.
"Then who pray tell are you talking to?" Tobirama asked tilting his head.
"Kurama," Naruko whispered.
"Who is this Kurama that you keep talking about?" Tobirama asked.
"My only friend." Naruko said softly with a gentle smile on her face.
"Where is this friend?" Tobirama asked looking around.
"Within me," Naruko said touching where her heart is.
"Kit," Kurama purred.
They been through a lot together and he grew to really love his host despite all the negative thoughts she had about herself. He would always make sure she lives no matter what or how she felt about life. He would never give up on her.
"What do you... mean?" Tobirama asked.
"Kurama, should we show him?" Naruko asked.
"Sure kit," Kurama said ready to show the other side of Naruko.
Naruko's eyes turned red and the aura around her was different than before and so was her chakra it made Tobirama take a step back.
"Don't fear, I won't hurt you. This is just the only way to show myself until we learn how to make me into a fox outside her body." Kurama said touching Naruko's cheek.
"What are you?" Tobirama asked curiously.
"I am her guardian and her fox." Kurama answered.
"And my only friend." Naruko said.
At the moment one eye was red and the other was blue showing the difference in chakra and people.
"Can you please not tell anyone about him?" Naruko pleaded.
"Are you here to destroy the village?" Tobirama asked making eye contact with Naruko which she couldn't break.
"No I'm not; honestly I don't even know why I'm here." Naruko answered.
"Then I will keep your secret. But if you prove to be the enemy I will tell about your secret and I will handle it." Tobirama said standing up going toward the door.
Naruko wasn't really sure what to do so she just sat there. Tobirama looked back at her and she made eye contact with him once again.
"Well aren't you coming?" Tobirama asked.
Naruko nodded her head and quickly followed him. Naruko followed him silently around the village without saying anything. She didn't really know where he was taking her but she was glad to get out of that room. She was starting to feel better the water really helped compared to this morning. Kurama healing her did a lot of good for her.
"Kit I will be hibernating for at least a week to heal you so be careful not to use too much of your chakra at the moment." Kurama said as the cage was dropped for their connection could be stronger.
'Okay,' Naruko thought as she tried to keep up her pace to stay near the water user.
"Tobi, who is this young lady?" a man asked as he approached them.
"This is Naruko…" Tobirama said just figuring out he never caught a last name for her.
"Namikaze." Naruko answered making Kurama raise his head not being able to believe what his host just said.
"Yes father, this is Naruko Namikaze. This is the young woman I told you was in the forest behind that barrier that I needed helping putting down with Hashirama and Izuna." Tobirama said.
"Ah… I understand now. The other three must have left you with watching her. Naruko Namikaze welcome to the village hidden in the leaf. My name is Butsuma Senju the leader of the Senju clan but soon to be just an elder to watch over the youngins of the village." Butsuma introduced as he gestured around the area.
"The Senju and Uchiha are joining forces?" Naruko asked.
"Yeah, once Hashirama becomes Hokage. It is all possible because of the friendship those four have. Brotherhood sure is strong. All I have to say is that Tobirama once your brother is leader you have to ask him whether it's okay for her to stay and become a citizen. But I'm sure he would love another clan to start in the Leaf aside from us two." Butsuma said patting his son on his shoulder.
"HASHI, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Madara screamed chasing after the hyperactive future Hokage.
"Butsuma sir, my father has been looking for you to speak on matters regarding the future of the elders." Izuna said bowing his head then making eye contact with Naruko for her to turn away immediately.
It by no means didn't go unnoticed by the three men.
"Okay then I will be on my way." Butsuma said walking toward the Uchiha area.
"So what are you two doing?" Izuna asked once Butsuma was gone.
"Just showing her around the village." Tobirama said.
Naruko didn't make eye contact with Izuna at all and started to move behind Tobirama not wanting to be in view of the other teen.
"Naruko what are you doing?" Hashirama asked her from behind making her jump on top of Tobirama.
"Wow someone is rather jumpy." Hashirama said trying to control his laughter.
Izuna had to turn around in order to not be seen laughing. Naruko was completely attached to Tobirama's back holding his eyes. This made Tobirama turn around to look at his brother and the glare he got would have terrified any other man but not these three.
"Hashirama, would you stop scaring her." Tobirama growled out as he pulled Naruko's hands off his face.
"Sorry little brother but that was funny." Hashirama said laughing.
Naruko still didn't remove herself from Tobirama's back holding on like he was her lifeline and in Naruko's eyes he actually was. He just let her be and walked away from the other two.
"Why is she on his back?" Madara asked.
"Hashi scared her and she wouldn't let go of him." Izuna said laughing hard.
"Doesn't it seem like they have something pretty unexplainable?" Madara asked.
If only Madara knew just how true that was. The two shared something neither could explain or bothered to even try to understand at the beginning because it was just the beginning.
"Sorry Tobirama," Naruko mumbled in his neck after moving his hair.
"Its fine, my brother is just like that." Tobirama explained.
"I used to be like that but it never changed so I just stopped." Naruko said.
Tobirama nodded his head to show that he was listening and kept walking to where he figured she would be sleeping until she became a citizen. He kept walking to his cabin and realized Naruko was sleeping on him. He could feel her soft breathing on his neck. It felt oddly nice for him and he couldn't really explain it. When he got inside the cottage he took her into the room to let her sleep while he got some shut eye too. He just put her on his bed while he took out a futon and set it by his closet door so he didn't get stepped on because he felt like she was a crazy sleeper. Oh how right he was.

Naruko has a harsh past back in her time but it will brush more into that as the chapters go on.
