I do not own Naurto. I do not own Darkstalkers.

The Cat

Naruto woke up the day of his Team Announcement with boobs.

"Oh, damn," the young man turned young woman said to herself, "I better go see the old man."

Team assignment would end up being put off for a week. It took four days for genetic tests to prove that, yes, she really was still Naruto. It would have taken two, but on the first day they realized that the girl he had become was a demon. Not a half demon, but a full blooded demon. The rest of the week was spent making sure that she wasn't a fox.

It was bad enough to find out that the demon container really was a demon. There would be riots in the streets if it was found out that she was now a fox.

Now, comparing the DNA of a monster made out of the embodiment of entropy and malice to a human was hard enough. To compare it animal DNA, something the ninja of the Elemental Countries never really had the time to catalogue, was all but impossible. They decided to take it at face value that she had cat ears and tail, making her a cat instead of a fox.

So, with the Team Announcements put back a week, Naruto got used to her new body.

One surprising discovery was how fulfilling a nap in a warm sunbeam could be. Naruto wasn't quite sure how it had happened, but she knew that, upon waking up, she had never felt better in her life.

It was a godsend when the supposed ten minute wait for her sensei turned into three hours. Sasuke, the douche, just sat at his desk and glared at the blackboard, so he was boring. Sakura was… well, it was odd, but Naruto had received more attention from the studious girl than she could have possibly dreamed. She just wished it would have been on dates rather than the girl constantly taking measurements and asking questions about her bodily functions.

As it was, while the blonde cat demon lay down in the light and began to doze off, she could see the pink haired girl switching back and forth from swooning at Sasuke and reviewing notes on Naruto diligently.

It was to this that Kakashi eventually walked into.

Naruto blearily opened one eye, a single slit pupil focusing on the Jounin, and he resisted the urge to shiver. Kakashi reminded himself that the demon girl that lay before him was actually the son of his late sensei, and that she wouldn't be trying to kill him and everything he held dear. At least, he was pretty sure she wouldn't.

"You should meet me up on the roof," the man said, before disappearing in a puff of smoke and leaves.

Languidly, Naruto stood. Her tail lashed back and forth for a moment as she considered the door, then looked to the large windows.

"Meet you two on the roof," she climbed out of the room through the window and proceeded to claw and leap her way up the side of the building, until a final jump let her grab, and do a handstand on, the handrail at the roof, then flip into a standing position in front the jounin.

"That was creepy," Kakashi said, then flipped a page in his book.

Naruto shrugged and sat down. It took only a couple minutes for the other two members of her team to make it to the rooftop.

Introductions were made then, each describing their likes and dislikes, their dreams for the future. Naruto was glad when Sakura said that she didn't dislike the catgirl, but it felt about as warm as a scientist saying he preferred one test subject over another.

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki," the girl said, "I like Ramen, naps, sunlight and Old Man Hokage. I like the Ichirakus, too. I dislike loud things, and being ignored, and the stars. I…" she paused, "I used to want to be Hokage, but now I don't think so. I'm not afraid of hard work, but that just looks tedious."

After their brief introductions, it was explained to them that there would be another test, the next day.

The three Gennin hopefuls had shown up at five in the morning, just as requested. Kakashi showed up five hours later.

"Alright, here is the deal," the grey haired man said as he pulled out two silver bells tied on red strings, "This is your goal," he noticed the way that Naruto's eyes became instantly focused on the bells and almost grinned, "If you get one, you pass. If you don't, you go back to the academy. Now, you'll have to come at me with the intent to kil-"

Kakashi blinked and Naruto was in his face, claws extended, eyes wide and pupils dilated. The man was the top Jounin in Konoha. He had done things that few other ninja could imagine. He had learned personally from the best ninja of an age.

He was easily able to dodge this sudden attack.

"Now, now," he chided the blonde girl creature, "I didn't say-"

"Hmm?" Naruto looked up at him, her blue slit eyes having been locked onto the bell she had between her claws!

"What?!" Sakura exclaimed, then whipped out a notepad and pencil, rapidly taking down notes, "Agility and dexterity extremely enhanced. No signs of chakra reinforcement. Subject does not appear winded and has, with surprisingly little effort, managed to best a Jounin. Observation continues."

"Deadlast," Sasuke almost barked at her, "Give me that bell. Now."

For a moment, Kakashi thought that his students were going to fight. Naruto began to pull the bell closer to her chest, closing her fist around it. Sasuke slid one foot forward, pulling his hands out of his pockets.

Then, Naruto blinked and shrugged, "Sure. Here ya go." She tossed him the bell then turned back to Kakashi with a grin as she crouched down on all fours, her tail whipping back and forth behind her, "I'll just get that one, too."

Kakashi's eye widened and he brought his hand up quickly to form a seal. Naruto was already moving, but he managed to get away, leaving a log in his place. Naruto's claws shredded the log like so much rice paper. She sniffed at the air then dashed off to the right, zigged to the left, leapt into the trees and disappeared from view.

Only a few moments later, there was a manly wail of absolute terror, Naruto's voice shouting 'Be a man! Stand still and take it!', and three trees fell over in quick succession. Finally, there was a huge, fiery explosion.

Sasuke stared at it all, then at the bell in his hand, feeling somewhat… let down. He had kind of hoped to fight against the Deadlast. It might be an interesting measure of his worth.

Sakura began to run towards the fight, "I have to observe this! Who knows what kind of data I'm missing, just standing around!"

Deciding he'd like to see this himself, but not willing to run towards the Deadlast, no matter what, Sasuke began to calmly follow in the path of his teammate.

Later that day, Kakashi limped into the Jounin meeting. It was an after action report, really, to find out the combat prowess of the current crop of the Gennin Corp.

Kakashi happened to be right on time, for once. People might have commented on that, were it not for his appearance.

His mask was cut open with four diagonal lines, his vest was half gone, he had bloodstains all down his left side, was using a crutch to walk and was missing his right shoe.

"Holy hell, Kakashi," Asuma said, "You look like you've been put through a meat grinder."

"Yes, well, one of my little Gennin is actually a hellspawned demon that has strength nearing my own and speed like I've never seen before. It happens," he shrugged. The others all gaped at him.

"So, Naruto is strong then? Physically?" The Third Hokage asked.

"By and far. She isn't well trained yet, but her sheer speed makes up for a lot, and…"

"And?" Kurenai urged him to continue.

"This next part will be filed as an S-Class secret. Privileged Information," Kakashi invoked his right as an Elite Jounin to classify data that wasn't necessary for civilians and ninja of lower rank to know. Everyone there nodded with appropriate severity.

When the Third finally nodded, Kakashi lifted his headband off of his left eye. Underneath was not the red eye of the Sharingan. It was instead as black as coal.

"I attempted to use the Sharingan on Naruto. She expressed a unique Killing Intent, and the eye reacted by deactivating," he let that sink in for a moment, "I have been able to turn it on and off since then. But the ramifications…"

Again, the other Jounin nodded.
