Author's Note:This is the last chapter about Naruko/Akane, I was planning to put it in the last chapter, but found that writing about Akane's training/past, was running away from me and so had to do this in a new chapter. But from the next chapter on, all of the chapters will be mainly about Naruto, but every so often there might a chapter or two for the side characters when needed.
Now because I had a problem with my muse and the mood to write the last chapter, I wrote two chapters about Naruto before I wrote this chapter and the last. So all I need to do is to edit them before posting them. But I was thinking that unless I have at least twenty or more reviews, I might wait two weeks or so before posting them, to build up the reviews.
I would like to ask that when it comes to the end of the story, I would enjoy it if you could leave some feedback, as I would like to hear your thoughts and ideas for the future chapter. Also, I would like to ask how big should I make the harem? I'm thinking about fifteen to twenty females, maybe more, but I would like your thoughts about it. So please think about it as you read.
After a review saying that some of the females would be better for this story than others, as some females are too good to be in an evil harem. Whilst there are some females who have very little development, so I can work on them or those who are evil or have reason to join the dark side. But I want to explain that some of these females aren't going to be lovers or treated as equals, no, some will be treated like slaves/pets. And those who were good in the story, I'm hoping to turn evil if I can do it right, otherwise they'll be slaves/pets.
So you know, this chapter isn't Beta Read, so please bear with it. But this leads me to ask you this, if you got the time, I'm looking for a Beta Reader/Editor to help to make the story better. If you think you got the time, please let me know. If not a Beta Reader, I want someone who could proofread the chapter and let me know what they think of it and give me ideas how to make it better, or what I can add before I post the chapter. You don't have to edit the chapter if you don't want to.

Naruko Uzumaki - Part 3.
(Return to the Leaf Village.)
28th of February 1914 - Hidden Leaf Village:
It has been over twelve years since Akane Kyūshū, formerly Naruko Uzumaki, started her train, and she was now standing outside the Hidden Leaf Village. The village that she hadn't seen in twelve years, a village that took everything from her, and a village that she hoped that she would never have to come back to. But the thing is that before she could turn her back on the village for good, she had two important missions: find her mother and train and protect her brother Naruto before leaving the village for good.
She walked up to the entrance of the village, she was stopped by two Chūnin who were guarding the entrance. The first Chūnin had brown hair and dark eyes. His hair was combed down to cover his right eye. He was wearing his forehead protector like a bandanna, and he was wearing the standard Konoha shinobi outfit which goes all the way up to his chin and wore a flak jacket.
The second Chūnin had long, spiky, black hair and dark eyes. He had a strip of bandage running across the bridge of his nose and a light-coloured marking on his chin. He was wearing the standard attire of a Konoha Shinobi complete with a forehead protector and a flak jacket. This one looked like he didn't want to be here, that he was bored out of his mind, whilst his partner seemed to enjoy working here.
The brown haired Shinobi greeted her, "Welcome to the Hidden Leaf Village, how can we help you today?"
"My name is Akane Kyūshū, and I seek refuge and possibly a place to call home." explained Akane, using the cover story that she and her grandfather created.
"Oh?" asked the black haired man with interest, it wasn't often that someone came to the village for refuge, not since the end of the Third Shinobi War. So it's no surprise that his interest was peaked. "Why do you need refuge for? We haven't heard of any big attacks on villages of late."
"No, my family has been without a village since the Third Shinobi War, and instead of finding another village to call home, they have been travelling the Lands, only going into villages for work and buy items they needed." Akane told her fake story to them.
Her grandfather said that the Leaf Village was soft, and if the story was sad and believable, they would more than happy to help them. She just had to be careful around people like Danzō and those who work in the Intelligence Division, but namely Ibiki Morino. As if she acted anyway that was suspicious to them, they would be keeping a close eye on her.
Anyway, she went on with her story, "But sadly about a month ago my family was attacked by some Rouge Shinobi, and killed all my family apart for me. With his dying breath, my grandfather told me that I should find a Ninja Village and set up home, so I would be protected. So I've started to search for a village to set up home in."
"I'm sorry for your lose Ma'am," the brown-haired Shinobi told the young girl, feeling sorry for her, "But if you want refuge, you'll need to see the Hokage and talk to him about it. So if you follow Kotetsu, he'll lead you to the Hokage."
"Do I have to Izumo?" asked the now named Kotetsu.
"It's either that or you stay at the gate for the rest of the day." Izumo smirked, know what his friend would do.
"Fine, I'll take the young lady to the Hokage." Kotetsu gambled a bit.
"Thank you for your help." said Akane.
"No problems, and once again I'm sorry for your loss and I hope you can find what you're looking for here in the Leaf Village." Izumo said with respect and sincerity.
And so with that, they checked her for any hidden weapons, and as they did they registered any person effects she might have on, to make sure she didn't leave anything behind. Once they were done with that, they had her sign into the registration book, before Kotetsu lead Akane to the Hokage's office.
They didn't get far when a flash of orange, crossed the roofs, at a closer look, Akane could see it was a boy looking around thirteen years old. He had blonde hair and was wearing a kill me now orange jumpsuit. Following him were five Chūnin, looking pissed off with him for some reason. Akane watched for a few moments, as the blonde jumped down and in a few seconds used a Hidden Jutsu to hide before the Chūnin jumped down to follow him.
However, because the boy was hiding, they couldn't find him and so split up to try and find him. But once they were gone, the boy removed the cover that he was using to help him hide, breaking the jutsu, and he was smirking as he knew he got away from those who were chasing him. Having one good look round to make sure the Chūnin won't still around, the boy walked away smiling at whatever he got away with.
"Who was that?" asked Akane as the two started to walk again, already knowing who it was thanks to the photos her grandfather got from Orochimaru's spy within the village.
"Oh that the dem-" but Kotetsu stopped himself from saying more, as he remembered he wasn't allowed to talk about the boy like this to anyone who didn't know. Even then they had to be careful those who didn't think the same way wasn't listening, or they could end up going to jail for talking about the boy like that. So he corrected himself by saying, "He's the village's problem child, it would be best if you stayed away from him or he could give you trouble." What he didn't say was that it wasn't that the boy would make trouble for her, but that getting close to him would get her into trouble with the rest of the village.
"But who is he?" asked the red head once again, "Why is he a problem child?"
Seeing that the young women red head didn't seem to move away from the subject, the Chūnin said with a sigh, "That was Naruto Uzumaki, he is nothing but a troublemaker, who loves nothing more but to create chaos and pranking people. He is dead last at the Academy. In fact, he failed his first attempt at passing the Academy last year, and if the rumours are right he is going to fail again this year too. So it would be best if you stayed away from him."
Akane couldn't believe it, her brother was known as the dead last at the Academy, and people were still calling him demon if Kotetsu was any sign of things. It took everything she had not to kill the ass for doing so, if she did, everything she and her grandfather had planned would be ruined. So with a deep sigh, she said, "Are you sure he is dead last?"
"What do you mean Ms. Kyūshū?" Kotetsu asked confused, from everything that he has seen, the damn brat was nothing but trouble.
"If he was dead last, can you tell me how he was able to escape five Chūnin who looked like they were years old than him? Not only that, how could the Chūnin lose him when he was wearing a kill me now orange jumpsuit?" Akane enquired, hiding her smirk at his confused look. "If he's dead last, what does that make your Chūnin if he could escape so easily? I heard that this village was the strongest and the best of the Great Five Nations, which is why I came to this village first. But if the dead last of the Academy could escape five experienced Chūnin with ease, either this village isn't as good as it let people believe they are. Or Naruto isn't the dead last everyone thinks he is, and something is up at your Academy of yours."
Kotetsu was godsmack, with the way Naruto acted, he thought the demon was nothing more than trouble and a dead last. But for someone outside of the village to say that the demon might not be what he seems to be, and the reason for it, got the Chūnin thinking. Could everything he knew about Naruto Uzumaki be wrong, and that there was something more going on with the young boy? It would seem he would need to keep a closer eye on the demon and see what happens.
Either way though, the two continue to walk in silence and as they did, Akane thought back over the years. As she was learning to create her mindscape, her grandfather taught her two things, chakra control exercise earlier than normal, because of her extra chakra and ki. ki was life energy and comes from within a person, where chakra was everywhere, the trees, water, animals and anything else that was alive. The main thing that she had to do to master was to meditate and connect to her life energy.
Once she was able to connect with her ki, she had to try and find a way to control it and use it. It was difficult seeing that no one in the Elemental Nations were able to use this, and she was learning it from scrolls. Not only that, but she had to make sure that she didn't use chakra instead of ki. It was hard, but over the years she was able to do so. Sure ki doesn't have as many branches as chakra in terms of what it can do, what it can do though, is on much higher levels. What it excels in is giving a person superhuman strength, speed, durability, and reflexes, and in some cases, enabling the use of enhanced awareness, energy blasts, elemental manipulation, and sometimes invulnerability.
Now thanks to ki, she had superhuman strength, speed, durability, and reflexes, better than any ninja. Although she knew that she would have problems with samurai should she cross any, as they too study in ki, so that they would have an edge against the ninja, seeing that their armour stops them from using chakra? She didn't need to work on enhanced awareness, as thanks to Kasumi, she had them in spades, but for energy based and elemental attacks, she didn't want them. At least not when she started with her training, as she wanted to work on her chakra powers first. It was only in the last few months, now it was time to get her brother and mother, that she decided to work on them. She wasn't able to do much, but she was able to summon some energy in the palm of her hands, which was a good start. Only time will tell what she could do.
As for her chakra control exercise, she had hope that she could do the exercise with ease, but she didn't realize that with her age and how much chakra she had, it would be harder than she thought. Like with Ki, she had to meditate to connect with her chakra, but then she had to float a leaf over the palm of her hand for a few minutes.
It took her a month before she could float a leaf over the palm of her hand for more than a few minutes, but another month before she could keep the leaf floating on her palm longer than ten minutes, and be able to spin the leaf clockwise for a few minutes. It took her over a year before she could do this for both of her hands, as she had to do at the same time and spin them anti-clockwise, which was harder than she thought.
But once she finished her first hand, whilst she was walking on the next hand, her grandfather had her do the next control exercise: tree walking. Now unlike normal tree walking, after she mastered how to walk up the trees, her grandfather had her walk up the trees with her hands instead of her feet. It was hard work, but if she wanted to help her brother and mother, she had to make sure that her chakra control was at the best. She just hoped that when her brother was old enough to train, he too would start chakra control exercises.
But she feared that it wouldn't be the case, because from what learned as she got older, he brother was feared more than he should be. It would seem that the Hokage didn't want to train her brother until he started the Academy, as the Hokage wanted him to have a normal childhood, even if he knew that as an Uzumaki and with the fox's extra chakra, he would need more training in chakra control than a normal child.
She couldn't understand why the Hokage wouldn't want her brother to get that extra training, it wouldn't hurt anyone and would have helped her brother. But there was some who didn't want him to be trained at all, as they feared he was the Nine-Tails reborn or something, and they didn't want him stronger in case he turned on them. As she thought about it, she believed that the real reason that the Hokage didn't train her brother, was to keep those who feared Naruto happy. As little training as possible, would mean he would be as strong as he should be.
Whatever the case, she vowed that once she was strong enough to protect not only herself but her brother too, she would go to him and train him herself and fuck what anyone else thought about it. And once he was strong enough, and proved to him that the Leaf Village wasn't all good should he thought that they would make them pay for what they did to them - that she vowed.
She vowed a lot, but the main thing she vowed was that she would protect her brother, and as she got older, she promised to herself that she would do whatever it took to make him happy, no matter what. She would kill and die for him if that's what it took to make him happy. Over the years, she became obsessed in making sure she was strong enough to protect her brother, and make sure he was happy and may Kami have mercy on the poor soul that gets in her way in doing so, as she would have none for them.
Once she had a decent mindscape, and good chakra control, her grandfather taught her the Shadow Clone Jutsu. This one jutsu was a godsend, as whilst she trained her body physically, she had her clones go to the Sound Academy, trained in chakra control exercises and learn any useful jutsu. It also gives her time to try and make friends with the Yin Nine-Tails with.
When she first met Kyūbi, it was understandable that it was angry, as it was not only trapped once again but this time its soul was split into two thanks to her father. But over the years, she slowly showed that she could be trusted and that she too wanted to make the Leaf Village and the one behind the attack all those years ago pay. She also mentioned that if she could, she would try and reunite it to its other half of its soul as long as it doesn't kill her or her brother.
Over the years the two got closer, and as Akane proved to Kyūbi that she wasn't as useless as it thought it she was, Kyūbi told her a bit about its past, or now she knew Kyūbi better, her past. That's right, Kyūbi thought itself as a female, and that she called herself Kasumi.
Kasumi informed her jailor that before she was imprisoned in Mito Uzumaki and then Kushina Uzumaki, she was and the rest of the Tailed Beasts they were genderless. But yet their 'father' the Sage of the Six Paths, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, called them by male names and before she changed her name she was known by Kurama. But after being trapped into a female's body for over a hundred years, the Tailed Beast considered itself as a female
She told the young Akane that when she first came to bring, her father sent her to live in a temple that was built for the purpose of protecting it in a forest region with mountains that would later become part of the Land of Fire. But over time, she gained a fearsome reputation as a natural disaster that can desolate areas where the darkest aspects of human nature collect and fester. As she realized that the human races was nothing but a dangerous race, and decided to try and get rid of them before they could destroy the world and each other. But she was caught with the rest of her kind by the first Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village, and imprisoned into people who would later become known as a Jinchūriki, to be used as weapons. All because they were considered as dangerous and evil, as so should be imprisoned and used as weapons. But the truth was that other than her, as long as the other Tailed Beasts were left alone, they would have nothing to do with humans unless they attack them first.
Akane couldn't believe it, the Tailed Beasts were created none other than the Sage of the Six Paths, a god-like figure who was regarded as the ancestor of shinobi, for his act of founding ninshū which led to the creation of the Ninja World. She knew about the First Hokage capturing the Tailed Beasts and giving them to the other four of the great five villages, but she didn't realize that other than Kasumi, the rest won't as dangerous as she was lead to believe unless they were attacked first. So it was no wonder that Kasumi hated the human race, and the way things were going Akane believed that the world should be changed, but to do that they would have to destroy the old system and rebuild from there. But that was for later.
As time passed and she started the Sound Academy, things got busy fast. Not only did she have training with her grandfather, but with the Academy, time went by fast. Although she could admit that with the training that her grandfather had her doing, the training at the Academy she considered as boring, as most of it she already knew. Although she did make a few good friends, one being a kunoichi by the name of Tayuya Uzumaki.
Tayuya's mother came to the village shortly after the Hidden Sound Village was founded, with Tayuya, as the village she was in was destroyed by the Akatsuki. Her husband was killed during the raid of her village. Sadly, an illness took her life, leaving Tayuya behind to look after herself.
Tayuya was occasionally very quiet, like to keep to herself, she was an overbearing and abrasive, sharp-tongued individual. She was very blunt and foul-mouthed towards most people, even towards her teammates, though they were apparently used to her behaviour and usually responded with nothing more than slight irritation when insulted. Although Tayuya had a close friendship with Akane, she was one of the few people that Tayuya would be somewhat nice too, unless angered. Akane often called her friend a tomboy, as she loved to dressing like a boy and act so masculine. Tayuya also hated to lose a fight, and so would not back down from a fight, even if the best thing to do at the time was to retreat. She believed that she was better than her opponent and thought of them as trash. The only one she would listen to was either her team leader Kimimaro, and Akane, be it fear or respect.
Before she knew it though, time passed by, and soon enough she had become a Genin, and see finally one more step closer to getting her brother back. She knew she had to become a Jōnin before she could do go and get her brother, as if things got bad and ended up in a fight, she would need to be as strong as a Jōnin or stronger. As much as she hated to admit it, the Leaf Village seemed to have many strong ninja, and she had to be stronger than them if she wanted to bring her brother and mother home. As she didn't think that the Leaf Village would let Naruto go without a fight, even if they hate him, as the powers that be wouldn't want to lose their most powerful weapon.
Over the first few months or so, Akane found it boring as a Genin, as the only missions she could do was D-Ranked Missions. Like gardening, home repairs, cleaning the drain pipes and the like, jobs that the villagers either didn't want to do themselves or just needed help as they were busy or just needed help. Oh don't get her wrong, she understood why they had to do them so that if they had some kind of undercover job that needs them to lay low to gather information, they would need to get jobs to help with that. And these low ranked jobs would help with that. But Akane wanted a mission that would push her, to let her know why she stands against other ninja. But she didn't have to worry about it too much, as she soon found out that she was allowed to do at least one C-Ranked mission after doing so many D-Ranked ones, and proved that they were ready for the next C-Ranked ones.
These C-Ranked ones were mainly protecting merchant caravans, making sure they got to the next village. It wasn't what Akane was expecting, she was expecting a few bandit attacks, but in fact, during her time as a Genin, she only got into a fight with bandits about a handful of times. And because they were only bandits, none of them knew about fighting a ninja so they were easy to defeat. She had hoped that by doing some C-Ranked missions, she would, in fact, face some ninja to show what she was able to do against another ninja, but it wasn't to be.
The other C-Ranks mission she had done was to deal with these elemental Chakra Bugs that appeared a few years ago. The thing was they won't all that powerful, the only problem they have is with how many there were. When they appear, they appear in swarms, twenty to thirty of them. Akane knew there were more powerful elemental Chakra Beasts out there, which appeared over the last few years, but she had to become a Chūnin to fight them. There was a rumour that there were Chakra Beasts that was as strong as the One-Tailed Beast.
During her time as a Genin, when she wasn't on mission earning her own money, she was training with her teammates, Tayuya being one of them. The training was too somewhat boring, seeing that what she was learning, her grandfather already taught her what they doing. But to get rid of that boredom, she helped to train her friend in the things she learned from her grandfather.
However, there was something else that helped with getting rid of her boredom, her grandfather taught her what her Elemental Affinity was. To her's and her grandfather's shock, she had three Elemental Affinities instead of one most people had at the start. Only a rare few had more than one at the start, and that's normally one or two Elemental Affinities not three. It was shocking to bother, as not even an Uzumaki had more than one at the start. Sure there had been a few, but not too many, one being her own grandfather, who had Water and Lightning Release and with training with the two, learned to combine the two to get Storm Release. And over the years learned and mastered the other three main Elemental Release.
But back to Akane, she found that like her grandfather, she had Lightning Release, but she also had Earth and Fire Release. Her grandfather told her, her grandmother had Fire Release too. The first part of her training was Lightning Release, but seeing as it was one of her grandfather's main Elemental Affinities, so he already knew how to teach her in that element.
So she started her training with lighting a light bulb, where she had to channel her chakra through a screw of a light bulb to light it, too much it would either burn the filament out or make it explode, too little and nothing would happen at all. Now normally for normal people this could take months to achieve this. But thanks to her being able to use Shadow Clones, and many blown light bulbs, she was able to master it in about two weeks.
The next step was creating a stream of lightning between each of her hands without getting them numb or damaging them. She thought that once she was able to light the light bulbs, the next step wouldn't be as hard, but the problem was that she didn't take in count that she could easily damage her hands, nor that they could become numb should she drop her concentration even for a few seconds. With the pain and numbness of this exercise, it took a few weeks to get it right.
Now, this would be the last step of being the chakra control exercise for Lightning Release, from that point a ninja would use those skills to power up their lightning jutsu. Not only that, but they would try and design their own jutsu related to their Lightning Release, normally to generate electricity around their body, not only to create a shield but to allow them to go faster. But for her grandfather, he had her take the lightning training feather, as he wanted her to try and make it so that she could turn her body into lightning itself when she wanted so that she could as fast as lightning itself. Not only that, but she could use other lightning attacks and abilities
At first, she didn't think that it was possible to do such things, but her grandfather informed her that each country had their own monks who trained in their elements in ways that make what ninja do look sick. They could make it so if they had earth element, they could make their body solid so they were harder to hit or turn arms into earth like weapons. Or if their element was water, they could turn their bodies into water so that punches and kicks would go through them, or pulse water out of her hands to either put fires out or push people away. Akane found these skill interesting and was happy to learn them if it means an extra skill in her arsenal to protect her family.
But lightning wasn't the only Elemental Release she was working on, the other was earth. Masato allowed her to pick the next one, and she picked earth. The reason for this was that after learning what the monks could do, and what she was training to do, she thought learning earth would be useful for her Shadow Clones. As she was hoping that if she could create some sort of earth armour, her clones could use it and so they can last longer than normal. As with normal Shadow Clones, a few good hard punches would disperse them, so having that sort of armour would be useful.
For the Earth Release training, her grandfather had Akane gather her chakra in the palm of her hand to pick up the dirt off the ground and stick it to her hand. It took a while so that the dirt stayed in one place and not go all over the place. The next thing she had to do was to shape the dirt into different shapes so that once she mastered, she would be able to create weapons and other things she needed. The last step before training the Elemental Release like she was with the Lightning Release, was to learn how to harden and sharpen the earth and turn into back into soil again.
For Akane's final Elemental Affinity, fire, with all the training and missions, and training to become a Chūnin, she couldn't do as much as she would have liked. All she could do was the basic training in Earth Release training, the first step was to burn the leaf and the second step was to keep the flame at a consistent size and don't let it go out or burning the leaf or whatever else they were burned. The last step she worked on was to be able to touch and get near to flames without getting burned or feeling the heat. But that was all she could do until recently.
Over the years other than Elemental Training, and other training that she had with her team and her grandfather, she learned the Summoning Jutsu. She found the Summoning Scroll when the team was doing a mission tasked to guard a merchant back to Land of Iron. But during the mission, Akane trapped and slipped down an ice path, and into a crevice. As she and her team were trying to find a way to get her back up, she found an ice cavern filled with many items. It was like the place was like a bandit hideout, where they hid the stolen items, not a bad idea seeing that it would be hard to get to. Which meant there should be a way out of there too, so she searched for a way out, but as she did, she found the summoning scroll was for the Eagle Summons. It called to her somehow, so she picked it up and kept it as she found her way out.
Thanks to her training with her grandfather, it didn't take long to summon the eagle and signed a contract with them. Doing so she gained two personal harpy eagles that she could summon any time for help, one was male and the other was female: Arios and Kyrios.
Either way, she and her team were the first ones from Sound Village to took the Chūnin Exams, in which only she and Tayuya were able to make it as Chūnin, but not their other teammate. Over the years, the two trained and done missions together and with other teams, in fact, Tayuya joined another team, the Sound Five as they were known. And because of the plans that her grandfather and she had, Akane wasn't put into a new team as she worked hard to become Jōnin, which a few months ago she became one. Since then, she prepared for returning to the Leaf Village, by reading up and remembering all the maps and notes that Orochimaru's spy in the Leaf Village sent them.
Speaking of Orochimaru, or Orochiko as he was calling herself these days, that's right her. As a few years back, her grandfather tracked the former male into becoming a female. Her grandfather did this as he didn't trust the Snake Summoner from not betraying them down the line at some point, so he planned to turn Orochimaru into a female and use Fūinjutsu to make the Snake Summon loyal and devoted to the Uzumaki Clan and its future.
At first, her grandfather admitted he wanted to use a female from their clan to entrap the Sannin and make him loyal forever. Akane wasn't happy to hear this, as she told her grandfather, they wanted to rebuild their Clan, and if they started to sacrifice their people, it would take longer to do so. Not only that, but at the time they couldn't find one Uzumaki, it would seem the ones that her grandfather knew about, were either dead or they had moved on to escape those looking for them. So by the time they found one Uzumaki female, Orochimaru would be ready to betray them and there was not much they could do about it other than to react and kill the man.
Akane remembered that her grandfather smiled at her when they talked about this, and admitted that she was right, they had to do something about the Snake Summoner sooner than later. So he had to come up with something new to make Orochimaru submit to them. And that's when he came up with the plan to create a new body for him, one that would have everything that the Snake Summoner wanted, but with a few extras that he wasn't expecting, like been forced to submit.
The idea came about when her grandfather read a few old research papers to create something called a test tube baby, where an egg from a woman is placed in a test tube and played with until the desired product is designed and then placed into a surrogate womb. Where in about nine months later, the test tube baby would be born. But what Orochimaru wouldn't know was that when the child was about seventeen weeks in at development, her grandfather would carefully open up the mother and carefully place a few Fūinjutsu arrays on the developing child before closing the mother up again.
The arrays would make it so that once Orochimaru takes over the body, he would feel loyalty and devotion to the Uzumaki Clan, and its future to become stronger and whatever else they needed. Not only that but with the newborn been a blank slate designed only for Orochimaru to take over, Masato could do what he wanted to it and as long as he didn't get caught, Orochimaru could do nothing about it.
The thing her grandfather feared the most was that the Snake Sannin would find out what he did and undo most of his work, which he could allow. So he created a few arrays to make it so that once Orochimaru took over the body, he wouldn't discern himself that there was something different with his or her psyche. Even if the arrays didn't fully work and realized that he/she had been changed somehow, they would stop him/her from doing anything about it. They would only break when she truly becomes loyal in heart and mind to the Uzumaki Clan, on to Naruto mainly.
For Orochiko to agree to go for the idea, her grandfather knew he had to create the ultimate child, one where when she was still a man, he wouldn't think twice about wanting to take over. So with the mixer of Orochimaru's blood, used the three bloodlines that her grandfather knew the Snake Summoner wanted and would do anything for Uchiha, Uzumaki and Senju. The Uchiha's blood for their Sharingan, the Uzumaki's blood for their huge chakra reserves and longevity, and the Senju's blood for the Wood Release.
The blood from the Uchiha and Uzumaki was easy for her grandfather to get, seeing that one of the bloods he needed he could get from one of them, and the Uchiha blood he could get from the spy within the Leaf Village. But it was the Senju's blood that her grandfather had problems getting, seeing the only know reminding Senju, Tsunade Senju has disappeared for a while now and no one knew where she was. And if the rumours were true, Tsunade had become an alcoholic and a gambleholic and became known as the Legendary Sucker.
Many thought that she was a sucker when it comes to gambling, but there was much thought she got her title on the way she got rid of her debts. There were a few who thought who believed she whore herself out to clear some of her debts, and this was how she got her title, as she was good at sucking.
Whatever the reason, she and her grandfather didn't have to worry about finding her for her blood, as Orochimaru was able to help them. To there shock, he had some simple of the First Hokage's blood already, as he was testing on it to see if he could give Wood Release to others. So far he only knew of one test subjects that survived the tests to gain the ability. So with the three DNA samples that her grandfather now had, he created the egg for his plan.
Akane learned that when the child was born, Orochimaru asked why was it a girl and not a boy. Akane smirked at the lie that her grandfather told the Snake Summoner, he told him that whilst he was able to band the three bloodlines together and create such a child, he was unable to tell if the child was going to be a boy or girl until it was born. But the truth was that her grandfather could, but he wasn't going to admit that now was he.
Once the child was born though, her grandfather placed seals on the child to make her grow faster than normal. And within a year, the child was from a newborn to a full grown twenty-three-year-old - which was like a female version of himself, pale skin, snake-like tongue and eyes along with long black hair. But now she also had e-cup breasts. During the years, her grandfather placed seals on her body so that the muscles would be strong so that when the Snake Summoner took over the body, he would be able to move without problems.
When Orochimaru took over the body, liked planned he wasn't able to transform it back like he used to, he was now a female. Nothing he could do would change that. But unlike her grandfather hoped, she realized that something was wrong, that she wasn't meant to be female but at the same time she was. It was confusing, to say the least. But surprisingly the now named Orochiko seemed to get used to the fact that he was a she.
Akane wasn't sure if it was the seals that her grandfather done, or her own experimentation with her new body or a mixer of both Akane didn't know. But what she did know was that after a few days a female, Orochiko didn't seem to mind being one and didn't look into how it happened or how to return to a male again.
Now with Orochimaru or Orochiko as a female, her grandfather was able to look for the rest of their Clan without worrying about Orochiko backstabbing them. And so he went out searching for them, so far over the last few years, he was only able to find a small handful of the Uzumaki Clan. They were back at the Land of Whirlpool, rebuilding their old homeland with better defence - although they did keep the whirlpool defence. But this time it would be different, as no one but a select few would know and even then they would have seals placed on them so they couldn't tell anyone unless she, her grandfather, or when the time comes Naruto, tell them that they can tell someone.
Another change was that the woman who can give birth would have to stay on the island to give birth to the new generation of Uzumakis. Akane knew that her grandfather didn't like the idea, seeing that the women were expected to give birth a child every year or two, to rebuild their Clan, but it was needed for the Greater Good of the Clan. Akane knew she was lucky, as if it wasn't for her need to protect and train her brother, she might have ended up the same way. Some of the children would be created by her grandfather, as the new and improved Uzumaki that he wanted with them.
As for her grandfather, he has been travelling for the last year, leaving a Shadow Clone to train her. The Clone would take Soldier Pills to keep it goings whilst her grandfather was away. The reason that her grandfather was travelling, was to search for anything that would help to make their Clan even stronger than before. Like there was a rumour that the Land of Snow was experimenting on samurai equipment, like with the samurai chakra armour.
The samurai chakra armour was able to create a barrier, around the wearer that utterly negates any foreign chakra that enters their surroundings. It also provides strong protection against blows. In practical terms, it makes the person wearing the armour immune to illusions, elemental powers, and most other ninja techniques. Those in the armour can afford to simply ignore them. A ball of fire would stop and fizzle just short of them, lighting vanishes into the air rather than touch them, even walls of earth raised by chakra crumble at their approach.
Now whilst it sounds useful to have, a ninja would unable to use the armour, as it diverts the wearer's chakra to power the armour. As any chakra that the ninja manifests outside their body, the armour would take and use for itself, powering that shield that protects the samurai. Now add the fact that they have chakra blades and shields and use ki, a samurai can be a deadly force to deal with.
And whilst it was illegal for anyone but a samurai, it would seem that the Land of Snow's Feudal Lord lax enough to not care about the law, and he had some ninja from his village there obtain and practice experimenting on samurai equipment. He was hoping that they could modify it so it does not prohibit the use of ninja skills, but actually enhances them. At the moment they have drawn up blueprints and started to create a few prototypes to see if they could work. For this reason, her grandfather copied the blueprints of this new equipment and sent it to Orochiko.
So far Orochiko was unable to do much, as she wasn't able to work out how to do it. It would seem that the blueprints were missing a few details. It would seem that the designers of this new equipment were worried that their ideas might be stolen, and so they left out some details so that if it did, whoever stole the plans couldn't use them. It didn't mean that Orochiko was going to stop, it might take some time, but she believed that one day she would be able to create the equipment.
That's not the only blueprints that her grandfather got from the Land of Snow, another blueprint that her grandfather stole was one from something called a train. It was something that only the Land of Snow had. The land had an eternal winter, no spring, summer, or autumn just winter, so they had to create a way to get around and at the same time keeping warm. This is where the trains come from, they created steam trains to get to point a to point b, but at the same time, they created carriage where the steam from the main train to keep them warm and safe from the cold.
Until about nine years ago, the tracks could be used at any time, as the Feudal Lord of the land kept them clear of ice. But then there was a coup d'état, Dotō Kazahana started a war with his brother Sōsetsu Kazahana, who was the lands Feudal Lord. Why Dotō Kazahana done a coup d'état no one knew, but Akane knew it wasn't for trying to make one's Clan better like the Uchiha, seeing that the land was kind and Sōsetsu did everything he could to make sure his people's lives better. So the only reason Akane could think of for Dotō wanting what his brother had was for power, to take what he wanted.
Since the death of the last Feudal Lord, things got worse for the Land of Snow. Dotō used his newfound power to control the land the way he wanted and destroyed anything and anyone who got in his way. And to make things harder, and make sure no one could use the train tracks against him, Dotō kept the tracks iced over and they had to use chakra to melt the ice, so their train can use them.
But setting up a few trains in the mainland of the Elemental Nations, not only would it mean that they can get around much faster, they could earn money too. Something that they need if they want to destroy the Leaf Village, and put all the villages under one leader.
Right now though, Akane didn't know where her grandfather was. Her grandfather wanted to check the lands on the other side of the world, as they heard that they have the technology to deal with the fact they don't have chakra as the people have in the Elemental Nations. Her grandfather informed her once that he heard a rumour about those across the seas use something called guns that shoot out lead bullets to kill people. These bullets were faster than anything and it was believed that they could kill a ninja before they knew what happened.
So her grandfather wanted to see if this was true, so he left the Elemental Nations a few months ago to check to see if this was true. As if it was, he wanted to gain a few of these guns to see how bad it was, and if it was truly bad, find a way to deal with it just in case these guns ever got into the Elemental Nations. But at the same time though, her grandfather also thought about using the guns for his own gain, make it part of the Uzumaki Clan's new equipment. He knew that he was bringing them in himself, and knew that once he did so, there was the risk that the other Lands would want these guns too.
Her grandfather knew that in doing this, there could be a change in their world, and the balance of power might change, but he didn't seem to mind that much. In fact, he said that it might be a good thing, as those who can't control chakra were at risk from Rogue Ninja who had no problem injuring people. So these people would need a way to defend themselves against these Rogue Ninja, as they can't always pay other ninja to defend them, as they might not have the money to do so. So these guns would not only help defend those who can't use chakra but at the same time bring in money to the Uzumaki Clan and help pay to rebuild their land and help pay other projects that they had.
So far Akane wasn't didn't hear a thing from her grandfather, it could be he wasn't able to send a report back yet seeing that it only been two months since he left the Elemental Nations. So far he could still be looking for information, or he could be keeping a low profile for now. Akane knew her grandfather could look after herself, but that didn't stop her from worry about him though. She just hoped that he was okay.
Now before she could think more about her past, and how she got to this point in her life, they arrived at a huge brown building based in front what Akane knew as the Hokage Mountain. There was some plant life surrounding the building, and a sign with the kanji for 'Academy.' Behind the build was two other buildings, a white tower-like building and the other was a red building with a giant sign with the kanji for 'fire' on it.
From there Kotetsu led her to the Hokage Office, where he left her to talk with Lord Hokage. Thankfully the Hokage wasn't busy that day, and so was able to arrange a meeting for the end of the day to talk to him and the Ninja Council to talk about her wanting to seek refuge within the village. At the meeting, she told them the same story that she told the Gate Guards, but also added that her grandfather was also a ninja and had trained her in becoming a ninja. And should she decide to join the village, she would join the Academy and become a ninja for the Leaf Village. She even showed some of the basic skills, and that she had Lightning Affinity, to show that she was skilled but not too skilled to make them suspicious.
Sure they were suspicious of her having Lightning Affinity, but she put that down by saying that her grandfather wanted to know. As her grandfather wanted to see what it was and trained her in the basics, so she could learn what elemental jutsu would be good for her and train in it. She never told them she had another two, as that would make them suspicious for her to know another one, or at very least two like she had. As no one of her age would think of learning another after getting the first, and it is hard to get another unless you trained years to do so.
Either way, after answering questions, the Hokage allowed a temporary residence to the village, which would be reviewed in two years. Here Akane asked for a cheap place to stay, as she didn't want to spend too much money to live until she knew she was staying. She admitted that she would be willing to live anywhere as long as it was cheap to do so. This led them telling Akane the cheapest place to stay was the Red Light District, seeing all the troublemakers and other ruffians that are often found there. And so the Hokage called for a Chūnin to take Akane to the Red Light District so that she could find a place to live for now.
o0OoO0o
7h of March 1914 - Hidden Leaf Village , Red Light District:
It has been a week since Akane arrived at the village, and she was forcing herself not to attack the whole village and showed them not to fuck with an Uzumaki. The reason that she wanted to attack the village was one they overcharge him for everything he needed, food, clothing and so on, the only ones that don't seem to is one or two weapon/armour shops, as he doesn't go to them just yet, so she wasn't sure about them. The other who don't overcharge her brother was the people who ran the ramen shop the Ramen Ichiraku. They don't seem to care what Naruto was, just that he bought their food and treat them and others with respect. This made Akane happy that there were at least two people who seemed to care, or at the very least respect her brother.
But overcharging Naruto wasn't the only thing she wanted to attack her old village, the other was that the teachers at the Academy were sabotaging his teaching to keep him weak for some reason. It would seem that the village wanted to keep their Jinchūriki weak for some reason that Akane didn't understand. How would they deal with the other Four Great Villages, should they decide to use their own Jinchūriki to attack the village? Their Jinchūriki would be fully trained, and so neither them nor Naruto would be able to do much and the village could be destroyed.
Akane had wonder what the hell were they playing at, it was like they were too scared to train Naruto in case the Nine-Tails would take control of him? Sure that is possible, but that's where training the Jinchūriki comes into it. During that time they would interact with the beast within them and gain their trust, and depending on how much trust they gain, will affect how much of the Tail Beast's power they can use. She knew that her mother and the Nine-Tail's Jinchūriki before her didn't train to use such power, out of fear of allowing Kasumi getting too strong and giving her a chance to take them over. They had no trust in her, something Akane couldn't understand.
But thankfully as an Uzumaki, they didn't have to worry too much about it, as an Uzumaki as long as they trained in their Bloodlines and knew Fūinjutsu, they didn't have to fear the other Tailed Beasts too much. But thanks to the teachers at the Academy sabotaging her brother's learning, he wouldn't have much of a chance against another Jinchūriki, nor against these new powerful Chakra Beasts that have been appearing.
Now Akane could understand, but not forget nor forgive them, as to why the villagers the villagers wanted to keep her brother weak. As they feared what could happen, and they didn't know that he was a real Uzumaki, just an orphan who took the name seeing no one knew who his parents were. So they just feared the unknown, seeing that most people didn't understand Fūinjutsu and how Naruto and she was the Nine-Tails jailor, not the fox itself. It didn't help that her brother took in two orphan Kyūbi kits that he found a few years back.
But what she couldn't understand is why the Hokage didn't do anything, and why she could never forget nor forgive his actions. First off he knew that her brother was an Uzumaki, and so needed extra training than a normal student when it comes to chakra control, but yet he done nothing to help him and so made Naruto's life even harder. Not only that, but the Hokage didn't do anything to stop the mistreatment against her brother, people sabotaging his work, overcharging him for things, and treating him like a plague and the parents making sure their children don't interact with her brother.
For someone who believed in the philosophy of the Will of Fire, and that the village was like a family to him, the Hokage didn't seem to care for Naruto as much as he lets on. Sure he seemed to let her brother off most of the trouble he found himself in, but from what the spy in the village told her. the trouble he got himself in was to get noticed, respected and be acknowledged. Not only that but partly to repay those who hurt and disrespect him.
The thing was, most of the problems could be solved if the old man spoke up, and do something about how the village treated her brother. From what the spy told Orochiko when people learned that Naruto had the Nine-Tails, the Hokage outlawed about talking about the Fox or telling Naruto about it.
Akane had no idea why Naruto couldn't learn about this, it would help him understand why people hate and feared him. There was no reason as she could understand why Naruto couldn't find out, it was like the Hokage wanted Naruto as an outcast from the other villagers for some reason. It didn't help that the Hokage outlawed the villagers from talking about it, so they couldn't talk about their feeling and how they felt. If the old man told them what Naruto was, that he was the jailor of the Tailed Beast and not Kyūbi reincarnated as many believed.
If the Hokage did this and allowed people to talk and get used to this information, many things could be different. Sure there would be some would think that Naruto was Kyūbi reincarnated, but others who aren't controlled by fear would have seen him as a person and treat Naruto the way he should have been treated. But because this did not happen, Akane for not the first time wondered what the old man was thinking, and wonder why the Hokage was keeping her brother as an outcast. So because of him and how most of the village treated her brother, she would happy to see the village destroyed.
Either way, it has been a week since Akane returned to the Leaf Village, and since then she hadn't yet met up with her brother. It wasn't like she didn't want to, but she had to find a place to stay and somewhere to work first, so she could look like she was trying to fit into the village. But whilst she didn't meet him face to face, it didn't mean she didn't see him around as he outsmarted the Chūnin and Jōnin when he outrun them when he pulled a prank on them. And they call him dead last.
Sure he might not be the smartest and didn't learn the way others do, but that didn't mean he was stupid and couldn't learn in other ways. Akane only had to look at how he outsmarted the fools to know that he wasn't as bad as everyone thought he was, and only needed the right training to make him better.
Now she was living in the same flats as her brother, hoping that they could accidentally bump into each other. And if that didn't work, she would make it so they accidentally bump into each other when she got everything sorted. As for work, she was able to get a job at working at one of the sleazy bars in the Red Light District, as a dancer and barmaid. As a dancer,x` she wears next to nothing and ends up wearing nothing at all, and as a barmaid, she wears what she does as a dancer, but keeps her clothes on unless she asked to dance.
This was something that enjoyed, she found strapping whilst dancing helped her to relax and help her to think. And spending so much time in this village, she would need this relief to get by, or she would fear she would do something stupid before everything was in place. She wasn't the only one strange quirks, nearly all shinobi and kunoichi have some sort of quirks to help them relax and keep their sanity.
As a ninja the job takes a lot out of a person, some can lose they sanity with some of the jobs they might do, as killing people can take a troll. And if they don't find something to lose their stress, they can go mad and their sanity. Some become cooks, bartenders, hookers/geisha or some side-jobs outside of their ninja jobs to unwind, or they start up smoking, gambling or sleep most of the time when not working, or have sex with whoever. Which is why in the Red Light District, there are many places where one can go to unwind, casinos, fight clubs, whore houses, pubs and so on. And because of this, many shady people can be found here, who love to fight and make trouble.
Whilst Akane was used to this sort of place, she was pissed off that the Hokage would allow her brother to live in such an area. Although she was glad that as an orphan, the village has to pay the rent of the orphan's home if they don't live in the orphanage, until they become a ninja, or become of age at twenty. Otherwise, she feared how Naruto would cope with living in the Red Light District, as he might have ended up either homeless, living in a business (like a brothel or one of the bars,) or selling himself to be able to stay under customer's roofs at night. If that had happened, nothing would have stopped her from destroying the village herself.
However, back to the present, Akane was coming home from her shaft from the club she was working at, and once again she passed Naruto's door in the hope of accidentally bumping into him. But as she did, once again she saw something on her brother's door and windows that made her blood boil. There was red paint all over them with words like 'die demon' and 'leave our village,' among other hurtful roads. This pissed her off big time, from what she heard from the spy, other than pranking people and defending himself, he had done nothing to deserve this treatment.
Before she could think more of this, someone bumped into her, and heard a male's voice apologize, "I'm sorry about that, I didn't see you there."
The person who bumped into her was none other than Naruto. He was shirtless and covered in sweat. He had some muscles developing. She could see his orange and blue jacket with the white collar, around his waist, on the left side was a white swirl with a tassel, and on the back of it was the Uzumaki crest on the back. He was also wearing orange pants with a shuriken holster on his right knee, and finally, he was wearing a pair of blue sandals and green mask goggles.
"No worries, I was to blame, I was standing in the way." Akane informed the younger teen, "I was wondering what sick people do such thing."
"I have no idea," Naruto admitted darkly, "I just wished that they stopped doing this."
"So you live here?" asked Akane, making it sound that she doesn't know that she already knew this.
"Yeah I do," Naruto told Akane, "I just don't know why they do this though. I have done nothing wrong."
"I'm sorry to hear that," Akane said sadly, "do you need any help with cleaning up?"
"Are you sure?" Naruto asked in shock, sounding like no one ever asked him this before. And if what Akane heard was true, with what she had seen so far, she did, no one did ever ask him for help.
"Yes, I am," Akane said kindly, "I just moved into the village last week, and from the little, I have seen and heard, you seem to be an ok person. They have no right to treat you the way they have been."
"But you don't even know me." Naruto told her.
"But I would like to," Akane told him, "if you want to that is."
Naruto seemed to be unsure about something, most likely suspicious about her wanting to be friends. Which she wasn't surprised about with the way the village treated him. But after a few minutes of thought, her brother said, "Okay, I would like that, my name is Naruto Uzumaki."
"And my name is Akane Kyūshū?" Akane introduced herself before she and Naruto began to clean Naruto's door and windows.
To be Continued!
Author's Note - PLEASE READ TO THE END: Here ends the next chapter of Ninja Overlord, I would like to thank you for reading and I hope that you enjoyed the chapter and the story behind Akane. Now after reading the story, I hope you can come up with some ideas for what I asked for at the start of the chapter.
Now I would like to ask for your help, I'm planning to have most of the ninja in my story to have some sort of quirks to deal with being a ninja. As they do have jobs that most people wouldn't like or do, like killing and kidnapping people and such. I was thinking that some of the quirks that they have to deal with what they go through, could be smoking, sleeping with different people and so on. But I was wondering what sort of quirks should Naruto and his sister Naruko/Akane could have? As shown in this chapter, Akane likes to dance and removing her clothes when she does so, but I was thinking of giving her another.
Now I'm looking for a fanfiction, the problem is I can remember much of it, so here's what I DO remember. First, it was a Dark Naruto, most likely evil too, and I think it was harem too. I remember that Naruto made friends with a female Uchiha or a few before the massacre. During the massacre, he and his friend(s) found himself at the Konoha Military Police Force. At the time I think Naruto faced Madara and might have killed him. Whatever the case, Naruto and his female friends leave the Leaf Village. I also remember a seer having a nightmare about Naruto, where she dreamt that she was part of Naruto's group. I also think that two of the Uchiha's were sisters, either twins or one was old than the other.
I'll be honest there was something else that I wanted to ask you, an idea that I got whilst I wrote this chapter, but for the life of me, I can't remember. So I ask, as you read this chapter, if you got any ideas that could fit into this story please let me know.
Lastly, I'm looking for time travel fanfics where Himawari and Sarada travel through time and end up in the past. I'm asking as I'm after ideas as to how they were sent into a different time and space. As if they win the poll, I'll be writing a chapter to explain how they were sent into the past, so need fics to get ideas. I'm after a story where it explains about their past before going back or at least explains what happened to that point. I hope you can help so that I can do a good chapter as to why and how they were sent into the past.
As you know, for the last three chapters, I have been explaining why I'll be somewhat writing three key players from Naruto, the Third Hokage, Kakashi and the last chapter Jiraiya, in a bad light. Now this last person that I'll be writing in a bad light is Yamato. Now the thing is I don't know if I'll be adding Yamato into the story or not, as he was added in the second part of the show, but he wasn't there much for it part for the start and some of the training. But from what I have seen of him, I didn't think much of him.
But what I have seen of him I wasn't too impressed. First, during his first mission with Naruto, Sakura and Sai, he informed Naruto what happened when his lost control of his powers. Don't get me wrong, Naruto should have been told about it and not kept in the dark about it, but NOT during an important mission like the one, they were on. Naruto could have easily broken down that he hurt one of his friends, and he would be no good to them during the mission or at all afterwards for a while.
The next problem I have with Yamato is that he told Naruto not to use his the Nine-Tailed powers, but his own, which to me is fucked up. I can understand that Naruto shouldn't rely on its powers, but like it or not the Nine-Tailed powers is part of Naruto, and so in a way is Naruto's power. So instead of being told not to use it, like the rest who were a Jinchūriki, Naruto should have been taught how to control the Tailed Beasts powers, not told to use them.
The last problem I have with him is that he seems to pair people who don't get along with each other on important missions. Like Naruto and Sai, at first, they didn't get along, in fact, Naruto wanted nothing to do with Sai and unwilling to work with the teen. And so there was major problems with the mission from what I remember. Another pairing that didn't work out and could have gone very wrong is Naruto and Sora, if things didn't end up the way that it did, things could have ended up a lot different.
If you add a new member to a group and they don't get along, you don't force them to work together on important missions until they can at least tolerate each other until their mission is done. That's what team-based training and missions are for, so that way lives aren't at risk or important mission wouldn't fail. You shouldn't those who can't stand each other if you have an important mission unless you have to, instead pair them with those who don't mind working with them, like Yamato/Sai and Naruto/Sakura or with Sora anyone apart for Naruto.
As for the poll, I have added a few more people to it and they are the following:
Female Orochimaru
Shion
Chino
Isaribi
So you can vote for these people along with those from the last chapter.
