Warning: I do not own RWBY, that belongs to Oum & Rooster Teeth. Nor Naruto that is shonen and his creator.
KONOHA
Naruto stared at the damaged roof of the Hokage tower as some chunin began using some suiton jutsus to dose the flames.
He was working on paperwork when the sky started to darken and rumbled before a lighting bolt tore through his office. His ANBU quickly acted and pulled him out and before he knew he was suddenly placed in an emergency bunker as all nearby ANBU units were put on high alert. It took four hours before the guards calmed down as the chunin there confirmed whatever happened would not occur again.
At least his guards were not taking any chances since the suna invasion. But it would be nice if they didn't stuff him in some random room.
"I'm sorry lord hokage but we checked with all ration users, most were on duty or not even in the village when the attack happen. They are checking the scene but they haven't found any sign of the attacker" one chunin reported.
"I see, well have them check with any of the civilians and see if they had saw anything before the attack" he ordered as the chunin vanished to relay his orders. He held himself from pinching his nose, so it seems that someone was out for him apparently. The first thing that came to mind was those that still hated that kurama was sealed inside of him. But he found himself doubt that, since the reveal of his heritage no one has ever raised a fist at him for that reason.
Even before his heritage was revealed no one ever attacked him, broad daylight or not. After seeing the sealed files about the multiple public executions of people that attempted that he doubted that was the case. Another idea that came to mind was some that hated his parents, a shinobi from a different nation? He knew that Iwa still held a deep grudge against his father.
That idea was fell through as neither Iwa or Kumo wanted a war. Both nations were prospering and any war at the moment would do no good for the villages economic future. He could write it up as a rogue nin or individual ... if that was the case than he needed Jiraiya to look into this or the intelligence committee. An attack like this was begging to cause a war and one that konoha did not need.
"Naruto I heard what happened and came as a fast as I can" said Jiraiya, the large sannin clothing looked more ragged and he could see a few buries on his head, seems he has peeping on the women side again "So we have some rouge ration wielder causing this ruckus huh."
"Apparently, but I have my reservations about it" Naruto mused to himself.
"Reservations? You think this was an inside job?" The man narrowed his eyes. If this was one of Danzo's games, loyal or not—
"—I don't think it was a ration wielder that caused the attack" Naruto broke Jiraiya from his musings. "From what I have heard ration chakra tends to leave trace remains due to the static nature of the element. When I had my Hyuga observe the sky they found no such sign. It was as if no one used any jutsus"
The sannin remained silent but even he admitted that was odd. His godson was right on the lightning nature, he remembered the old stories from past comrades about using lighting jutsus. All elemental jutsus left some trace of residue chakra and even the masters of an element could only minimize it, this residue chakra could be observed and someone could figure out what kind of elements were used in a battle.
For ration this was even harder as the electricity always wanted to get out of the users control and always left a bigger footprint. It was also why it was so easy for konoha shinobi to figure out if kumo shinobi were in the area, the static energy was so bad even their hairs would raise when getting near.
"People can also store jutsus within scrolls and their exist seals that can suck away the residue chakra that is left. A smart assassin would have two seals with him to make sure no one would find out it was them" said Jiraiya.
"But to attack the hokage in daylight? When security is at its most strongest? The only ones that would do such a thing are either fools or naive people" the immortal question. "Besides the jutsu was far crude to be used by an assassin, the lightning bolt completely missed my desk and hit the center of floor. If this was a professional than he/she would or should know where my desk or even my head would be. Plus the attack was too slow"
"You think that whoever did this wanted to make a scene?" the sannin asked.
"Precisely, but what kind of message did they want to send? To say that the hokage is never safe or that this was just the beginning?" Naruto wondered. His wondering would come to end when he heard a chunin yelling something. Looking to the side it was none other than team 8 of all people. Kiba was pushing back against the chunin and looked ready to bite him. Shino was trying to persuade the other chunin and hinata was trying to help.
Walking up he said "Chunin-san you can leave this three to me" the two guards looked unsure but when Naruto pointed to the sannin with him they bowed and left.
"Yeah that's right. You're lucky that naruto was here because next time—" Shino lightly wacked Kiba on the head "—Ack! Oh Shino what was that about!?"
The aburame ignored his teammates and kneed before Naruto as his teammates followed suit "Forgive me Hokage-sama but we did not come here to waste your time. It is about our sensei ... Kurenai-sensei has resigned from her post as team eights sensei. When we tried to find here we couldn't find here her anywhere"
"Yeah what Shino said Naruto. Please don't tell me you signed off on it, Kurenai is a great sensei and she has never done anything to warrant her not being our sensei anymore!" Kiba pleaded Akamaru nodded too.
"Kiba, I never signed off any paper that said she was to no longer be your student. In fact this the first I've heard about it at all" Naruto stopped Kiba.
"Maybe the paper was in the tower when it was attacked" said Jiraiya. That could have been the case indeed, Naruto was still working on the more mundane paperwork when the lightning bolt came. "Now I may not fully know about your guys teacher but I know enough to say there shouldn't be any reason she would have resigned herself. She is a powerful shinobi with no black marks on her record."
...
Sending a flare of chakra an ANBU wearing a pigeon mask appeared "Pigeon, find me all files on Kurenai. I want to know what reason could make her quit team eight"
"Y-You mean you help us!" Kiba exclaimed.
"Of course you guys are close comrades and comrades should always help each other least they be considered less than trash as Kakashi-sensei would say" Naruto answered. "And you Jiraiya can go find Kurenai and bring her back."
"Wait what!? Hold on a sec why don't you have someone else go do it for you. This seems like a waste of my time!" Jiraiya objected.
"Considering you have plenty of time to spy on the women in the hot springs I think you can handle this task. Hm ... now that I think about it ... yes, I'll make this a mission as well. Jiraiya, your mission is to work with team eight and retrieve Kurenai Yuhi and find her reasoning for leaving her position as team eight's leader/sensei" Naruto ordered.
"But ... Wha—"
"And if you failed to do so I'll make you team eights new sensei until they become jonin" Naruto added.
...
...
"God da—Fine. Alright you brats come on let's go find your sensei. Last thing I need is teaching a bunch of brats again, Minato was a handful alone" Jiraiya grumbled as team eight followed after him.

"We already checked sensei's house lord Jiraiya she isn't there. Shino even had his bugs check if she was hiding" said Hinata
"Really, damn and here I thought this would be more easier. Bah, well it is clear you guys weren't trying hard enough" the man shaked his head. Pulling out piece of paper chakra appeared on his thumb as he traced it over the paper and than putting it on the door knob. A few second passed as black kanji came out and covered the door before receding.
He twisted the knob as the door opened "A simple unlocking seal mixed with a disabling trap matrix on top" he explained as he entered into the house.
"Oi! This sensei's house we can't just go through her things!" Kiba objected.
"Our job is to find your sensei, not worrying about her opinions on breaking in her house. Some of the best clues are left in the most obvious locations anyway, look around the house and bring me anything that looks odd. I'm going to check on her room" he ordered as the three teammates splitted up. Going over to her room Jiraiya locked the door as his hands moved to the women drawlers.
"Score!" Jiraiya opened the drawer. Golden light came out as a perverse smile formed on his face, oh yeah this should make up for all ladies in the hot springs.
With Jiraiya ... busy. Hinata opened the door to small shrine at the end of the apartment. "Byakugan" her eyes bulged as her eye's veins became visible to the naked eye. Everything in the room looked perfectly normal until she focused on something behind the shrine. It was some kind of box but she could not see what was inside it.
Carefully pulling away the objects in front of it she pulled out the box. It was a black box that had no visible markings and it was locked. She looked around for any keys but the box was the only thing there. Looking at it she remembered Jiraya's actions and thought back on it. Sometimes you have to take a risk or break certain laws if you want to achieve your goals.
Steeling herself she channeled chakra into the tips of her fingers and jabed the lock breaking it in the process. Turning offer her bloodline she opened the contents and it was a small dairy. Looking at it the dairy was worn out as the pages had a yellow stain on them. Opening the book her eyes widened in shock as she kept going through the pages, even her byakugan was turned off.
She ran out, her team needed to know of it.
As Hinata read the diary Kiba let out a frustrated sigh. The only thing he found was that his sensei ate way to much outside food for her own good, not that he could blame her. Being a shinobi meant you rarely had time to cook for yourself and sometimes you never knew how long a mission can be meaning any stored food could spoil quickly.
It was why shinobi tend to have canned or instant food in their cabinets and why there are restaurants around any corner.
The inuzuka couldn't help but huff out in anger. He could not fathom any reason kurenai sensei would leave them, it infuriated him! Team 8 was a pack and if one pack member was to be lost the others would do all they can to find the lost member. That was what his mother taught him and his sister, but Kurenai was doing something else.
A pack member doesn't leave abruptly without any reason. It went against everything in his nature it went against—
"Kiba, Shino, I know why sensei left!" Hinata said aloud as she raced in.
"E—Eh!? You do!? What is it?" Both teammate snapped to her.
Hinata raised the dairy to them "Because Kurenai sensei knows who could have caused the attack on the hokage tower. It was her own student ... the one before us"
"Ho? Your own sensei taking in a student before you guys. Well the mystery is getting more thicker, don't hold back kid kept talking" said Jiraiya as he entered the room.
"Before sensei took us she had a another students, this was when she had recently gained her jonin promotion. She was told to teach a Yakumo Kurama genjutsu under the orders of the third hokage. Yakumo was gifted with a powerful bloodline that boosted her own genjutsu abilities however she struggled to control it.
However, she failed and Yakumo wasn't able to control her powers any better. Even the hokage had to get involved as her powers got stronger and out of control. It says here the hokage sealed away her powers in hopes that it would not come up again. Something about it an ido?"
"But what does this Yakumo have to do with this?" Kiba asked still not getting it. If her powers were sealed away than she shouldn't be a threat, unless her seal was weakening.
"Kurama eh? So the seal really is breaking down huh" said Jiraiya.
"You know about this person lord Jiraiya?" asked Shino.
"Yep, I was the one that made her seal. Look I won't say this twice so you better listen closely. You see the kurama clan is well known for genjutsu but more specifically their bloodline, it allows their genjutsu to become so realistic that people will believe it to be real and die from it. However, it is rare for any member to inherent it and Yakumo's is the strongest they have ever seen in recorded history.
What people don't know is that their is a darkside to this power. The power is so great that the user isn't able to handle it by itself, as a result the mind creates and id, a second personality, to keep the power in check. Most times this isn't an issue ... until Yakumo was born. For some reason her id was malicious and cruel from the start and wanted nothing more than to destroy everything around it.
When she was young child she momentary lost control of her powers and made everyone in the manor think the place was on fire. Yakumo lost her parents on that same day. Sensei told me that he had found someone willing to train her but months later said he needed a bloodline suppressing seal. I guess the seal is finally weakening and her powers are returning" Jiraiya explained.
"So that is why she attacked the tower. She wants revenge" Shino stated.
"Well than what are we waiting for! Let's go find that bitch and beat her till she is black and blue. She attempted to take Naruto's life, that the death sentence right away. And if her powers are returning we need to stop her before she decided to do something worse" Kiba argued as he ran out of the apartment. Right as Jiraiya grabbed the back of shirt and lifted him up.
"Calm down their kid. I understand your anger but don't let it cloud your thoughts. First of all we don't have any evidence to show it was her at all" The sannin raised his hand stopping them from speaking "All you guys read was what happened years ago. No one knows if it was Yakumo at all and you all are jumping to conclusions if you think so. Take a moment and calm down, while it is an interesting piece of news we haven't checked all of our options yet. Besides, this mission is to find your sensei not go after a clan heir. "
...
The front door was busted open when a Jonin rushed in and bowed before jiraiya "Forgive me lord Jiraiya! The hokage wanted to inform you he needs you at the kurama manor. We have reports of the kurama clan trying to break into their own clan compound and the hokage needs you immediately!"
...
...
"See I told you—"
"—Not one word brat!"
xxx Hokage Tower xxx
"Something doesn't feel right" Izuna Sato said aloud. He and his team were around the hokage tower looking for any clues about the one responsible for the attack.
"You said something Izuna?" called one of his buddies.
"I said something feels off. The higher ups are saying this is some kind of advanced ration attack but it doesn't add up at all. Remember how you, I, and Shin were stationed in the land of frost during the third war? How we had to deal with disarming genjutsus and traps kumo may place?" Sato asked.
"Yeah it was a pain in the ass but what about it?"
"Well remember that one time how Shin got trap under that genjutsu that made him think we were being attacked. I remember sensing faint traces of chakra in the air afterward, I can't help but get the same feeling here" Izuna muttered. Jumping off to the rooftop and ignoring his teammates demands to get down. He channeled chakra into his arms, his chakra than stretched resembling much like a net.
Through the chakra net he could feel any chakra that comes in contact with it. With it he pushed the chakra net to its very limits trying to see if his gut feeling was right. After stretching it out to its limits he felt worry as nothing was being caught.
Until a moment later.
And his suspicions were proven true.
xxx Kurama Clan Manor xxx
"Jiraiya, Team 8. Well I expected one of you but not the other" Naruto greeted the four.
"Your the one that saddled me with the brats" the sannin retorted.
"Fair, but that is not what I am here about. I will get straight the point, about an hour after you left my ANBU reported that a majority of the kurama clan members had began attacking their own clan compound headed by the current clan head. And during the battle team eight's sensei slipped by entering into the clan compound. We only just finished dealing with the last members when your arrived. "
"Shouldn't we go after her N-Nar—Hokage-sama" Hinata asked.
"You would be right Hinata, if the situation was not as dire as it is. You see I learned some rather unfortunate news about the clan heir, Yakumo Kurama. It seems our young heiress was the one responsible for the attack on the tower and the reason the kurama clan is trying to break into the clan compound. They want to kill their own heiress."
"See, I told you" Kiba smirked.
Jiraiya smacked the inuzuka on the back of the head "So what is the plan?"
"I was hoping to send you in there with a team of Hyuga to find Kurenai and stop Yakumo form attack konoha furthermore. The girl created a powerful illusion over the manor but I can break it using the Kyuubi's powers. After that I will try to suppress the genjutsu and allow Jiraiya and his team further passage in" Naruto explained.
"... Yeah I'll pass on that team. I'll take this one instead" Jiraiya pointed at team 8.
"You do know that this is far beyond what they can do" Naruto warned, what was his godfather thinking of.
"This is their sensei your talking about. If anyone has a chance of bringing her back it is them. A true bond between student and teacher is something no authority can hope to oppose. If anyone can save their sensei it is them, once we bring Kurenai back you get in here and we take care of the girl together" Jiraiya offered.
Naruto remained silent as his personal guards looked at him. Under normal circumstances he would rebuked the sannins request. This was a serious matter and if they don't stop her who knows what kind of damage Yakumo could unleash. Than again ... when has being cautious ever help him, sometimes the best anyone can do is throw a gamble and hope you win.
...
"Very well, I'll try it your way Jiraiya. I hope I am making the right choice" Naruto relented.
"Trust me, you did. All right you brats come we have to save your sensei" said Jiraiya as the team approached the manor. At first glance nothing about the building seemed off but when Jiraiya reached for the door veins and thorns came out of the building as the man jumped away. Looking over to naruto the immortal walked up to the building as the kyuubi's chakra began leaking forming a cloak around him.
A tail slammed into the building as entire place started to waver in form and shape. Naruto motioned the team to enter into the room.
xxx
The Kurama manor looked like a traditional household expected from a clan. Looking around the group found nothing off about the place.
Jiraiya step in first as he bit his thumb and began forming hand signs. Slamming them down a summoning seal formed as smoke came out and a small toad "alright I need you to find a female Jonin that goes by the name of Kurenai" Making sure the kids can only see his back he pulled out a pair of pantie and showed it to the toad. Said toad nodded before hopping away.
"Alright, now all we have to do is wait for the toad to return back and we should be all good" said Jiraiya.
"But shouldn't we still search for Yakumo?" Shino asked.
"Eh, fine why not. Alright kids stick close to me and we should be fine" with that team 8 began looking over the rooms. they were small connected by a long hallway and on the hallway were paintings showing the previous leaders of the clan that came to abrupt stop when it showed young looking man next a pregnant women.
"That must be Yakumo's parents" Hinata whispered.
"Yeah, to think she killed her own parents with her own powers. Seems crazy to think about it" Kiba muttered. Akamaru only whined at the news.
"No Kiba, it was her ido that caused it not the girl herself" Shino added.
Looking around the team still found nothing as they attempted to go up the stairs.
Key word, attempted.
Kiba picked up the smell of smoke and ash as the team saw a rush of fire come out of from above. They jumped off the stairs as they fell right on top ... the roof!? The team looked down in shock as they were on the manors rooftop. The fire from before was spreading and the smoke/ash made it hard to see what was down. They all tried to yell at the people below for help but none of them noticed what was happening.
"Kiba, Hinata, this must be her genjutsu powers. We still must be in the stairs or first floor, hinata can you break the genjutsu with your byakugan?" Shino took control and ordered the hyuga.
"I-I can see the genjutsu but I never seen such potent chakra around us!" Hinata activated her bloodline. Channeling her chakra to the tips of her finger she used her clan taijutsu style to let out chakra from the tenketsu near or around her. The flames and roof around her seemed to shift and move around as they could see the old room.
A hand grasp their shoulders and they turned to see a dead corpse, kiba reacted first as he slapped the hand away pulling a kunai out as well. "Hinata, Genjutsu or lord Jiraiya?"
"Genjutsu!" Her readied to dispel the illusion when the corpse suddenly stop before decaying away and in its place was an annoyed sannin.
"What did I tell you brats not to get to far from m—" He slapped the kunai raised at him as kiba and shino looked for Hinata for conformation. When she nodded the two relaxed. "—Seesh you get away from me and suddenly all of you become paranoid"
"We didn't think it will be that bad. I thought we were still close to you" said Kiba.
"Well this time try to stick close to me ok?" Ordering them to stay close to him "This time when we all go up the stairs don't do anything stupid and stay close to me. I will keep the genjutsus away. Yakumo will try to stop us and use any tricks she has, our best bet is to get in their fast."
With that in mind the four of them climbed the stairs as another rush of fire attacked them. This time Jiraiya raised his hand as the illusion turned to glass and shattered. Making their way up they saw vines, corpses, and other horrors all trying to stop them. The sannin held the genin tightly as they made their way through, Hinata let out her chakra repeatedly to and her gentle fist to keep her teammates from falling under the genjutsu.
They could hear random cries come from the hallway and shino noted seeing their sensei running through the hallway or screaming from somewhere else. He had to remind his teammates that none of it was their sensei.
Hinata pointed jiraiya to the largest chakra source besides them. Getting closer to the source Jiraiya slammed his feet into the door as it crashed open. The four of them fell into a some kind of world that was completely alien. The room was a hodgepodge of colors and shapes that shifted between dark hues to bright neon colors. Paintings of buildings, people, and events floated around.
And in the middle of it was their sensei kneeling before a girl.
"Yakumo I presume" Jiraiya mused as the the girl turned her attention to them.
"Kiba, Shino, Hinta!? What are you doing here?" Kurenai looked shocked at seeing her students here.
"So these are your new students than" the young girl narrowed her eyes "Just like the rest of them"
"Oi, release our sensei! We know what you did to the hokage tower" Kiba shouted.
"That?" She tilted her head "It was nothing more than a prelude of what is to come next. Konoha is nothing more than a rotting corpse that needs to be burned away. The village only exist to use me and others with great power they don't care about anyone but themselves."
"And you think you can fight the entire village?" Shino asked.
"What you saw was only a taste. Your seals can't hold me back any longer I will have my revenge!" said Yakumo. "After all if my own sensei couldn't stop me than who could?"
"You three need to get out of here! This is something only me and lord jiraiya can handle" kurenai ordered.
"Sorry sensei but I can't follow that order. This girl has really pissed me off already and it'll be a shame to let her get away with this" Kiba smacked his fist as akamaru barked in agreement.
"I agree with Kiba. As a shinobi of konoha it will be illogical for me to abandon one of my comrades" said shino pushing his glasses up.
"Yakumo, I can't say I understand what you are going thought but konoha is willing to help you ... I know naruto will help you" Hinata readied herself.
"Heh, seems like you raised good kids Kurenai" thought Jiraiya "However, Yakumo seems to be already damaged mentally. I need to seal her powers away again before more can get hurt"
"Fine, I guess I have to kill you all" Yakumo raised her arms. But before that her legs buckled and she fell onto the ground. Her chakra, she could feel it leaving her body rapidly as she struggled to find out why. A faint but growing buzzing answered as she pulled up her sleeve to show kikaichu bugs covering her shoulders and arms.
"Powerful genjutsu or not, all jutsu's require chakra to function and I doubt you ever had much training in chakra. Not after sealing away your bloodline" deduced shino as more bugs started cover her body "I cannot understand the struggles of having such a malicious entity leaving within you I know that our hokage, Naruto Uzumaki can help you. Like you he too bears a terrible burden as the jinchuriki of the kyuubi no kitsune."
Anything else she wanted to say was muffled by the beetle's buzzing. As jiraiya stepped forward the bugs were blow away when a massive gust of wind appeared out of nowhere. The gust transformed into a blaze as it burned away his bugs, the flames transformed in a massive snake that shot at the sannin and jonin. Both were forced to move away as the fire snake split in two.
Kiba grabbed his kunai and flung it to Yakumo as a large tree branch blocked the attack. Throwing a few more kunai these started sizzling as she moved away from the explosion as it pushed her on the ground.
Shino went next as he threw multiple shuriken. Many of them were stopped when the paints in the air raced to protect the heiress as the paintings themselves walked out of their frames. But as they started approached team 8 the boy twitched his ring finger as the shuriken suddenly moved and hit them in the back.
It did nothing at first as the paintings keep walking when they suddenly started expanding.
Massive beetles exploded out of their bodies as said beetles turned to Yakumo. "Kidaichu beetles, the more chakra their host has the bigger they become" Shino explained as he pointed the man sized insects at her. As they charged more paintings tried to stop them but all they did was feed the beasts.
Kiba aided his teammates as he used his Fang Passing Fang. He and Akamaru transformed into twin tornados that tore into the paintings.
Yakumo's paintings did not last long as they were turned in shreds as the girl was flung up. Hinata charged as she began attacking her tenketsus as the heiress gasped in pained. It was clear she never trained in the shinobi arts and hinata saw that the kurama clan had not intentions of teaching her how to fight shinobi, she relied to much on her still mostly sealed bloodline.
Hinata target the tenketsu in her arms and legs as they slackened and making her fall down struggling to move her unresponsive limbs "Please Yakumo, call off the genjutsu. Your limbs won't move anytime soon, you're defeated."
"No! I-I have to get my ... my—" Whatever else she wanted to say was stopped when Hinata knocked her out with a quick jab to the neck.
"Good job you three, with Yakumo knocked out she won't be able to create any more illusions" Kurenai looked proud at her students. It seemed she underestimated her students and their skills.
"But why is the genjutsu still happening?" Shino pointed out.
"It must be her powers. Even knocked out she never really had a grasp on it. Another reason for me being a terrible sensei" the women explained.
"Was it really that bad sensei?" Hinata asked.
"... When I was chosen to be Yakumo's sensei I felt both joy and fear at the prospect. I was still very young and only recently become jonin. I expected too much and demand to much from her. I saw her less as her own person and more of a means to gain the respect of my peers. Eventually even Yakumo cracked under the pressure and released her ido.
After that we were forced to seal her powers away and keep her in the kurama manor. That is why I cannot be your sensei. You can see the fruits of my action, if I keep training you than this is what could happen if I keep pressuring you. All of you deserve better sensei's than me ... I don't want to hurt any of you."
...
...
...
"Bullshit sensei" kiba spoke "You are one of the best sensei's I ever known. Because of you I learned so much of what it means to be a shinobi and being a soldier of konoha. I might not really understand your lectures on genjutsu but I got the jist of it, thanks to you I now know how to get out of dangerous genjutsu and recognise them right away!"
"I agree. Sensei, thanks to you my skill with my own insects have increased dramatically. Thanks to your training I have seen myself and my teammates get stronger in various shinobi arts that will help us in the long run. If it wasn't for you that I may not have become chunin" Shino softy added.
"Kurenai sensei ... you are the best sensei I ever had. Everyone in my clan always demanded the most from me ... but not you. No one cared about me and only cared about my failures and saw me as a waste of time. But when you took me under your wing that never happened, you pushed me forward and gave me the encouragement to go after my dreams. If it weren't for you I wouldn't be the proud kunoichi that I am.
I cannot begin to understand how much Yakumo must hate you. But it is clear that you have changed a lot since than and to keep blaming you for your past actions seems wrong. There is nothing but sadness and disappointment if you keep hating someone ... sensei, the best you can do is show Yakumo how far you have change and show you are willing to try again" Hinata spoke.
Before Kurenai could reply they heard groaning as the Yakumo's body suddenly started to move. They could see her formed transforming as her skin became blackened and sharp spikes coming out. In a instant jiraiya was above the girl and slapped a seal on her as the transformation receded.
"Whew, the last thing we need is her transforming. I heard about the rumors but didn't think it was true. Well your four look like you need to talk it out, I'll take Yakumo here to Naruto and we'll get this all sorted out" said Jiraiya.
xxx ANBU Prison xxx
"So you must Yakumo Kurama than" said Naruto. He entered into the ANBU cell as saw the girl chained up with chakra suppression seals over her. To his side was a Yamanaka ready to push her ido back into her subconscious if it tries to surface.
The girl did not reply back.
Letting out a sigh he pulled up a chair "I was given a report on what happened. Both of us know that under normal circumstances trying to attack a kage is a serious crime. However, in this case I think it is safe to say this is rather unique. Yakumo, do you know why you are here?" Naruto asked.
"... To kill me isn't it? Well? What are you waiting for" She answered turning her head away.
"I should kill you, after all trying to kill a kage and admit your attempts in trying to destroy the village is punishable by death. It wouldn't be that hard either, I could crack your skull with my cane, freeze you and shatter your corpse, use my mokuton to rip you in pieces, or maybe the kyuubi's chakra and watch you boil alive from the corrosive energies" Naruto listed off as he brought out his cane. Focusing more on the cane than her.
Yakumo's attempts at trying to keep a straight face were admirable but everyone could seen the fear in her eyes. She knew that anyone one of them could kill her without much work, genjutsu bloodline or not.
"But I don't think so" Her eyes turned back to him "Do not be so surprised. I know what you are going through, having an uncontrollable monster that threatens to hurt everyone around you. That feeling of being feared and hated, it consumed you and after having your powers sealed away you felt anger at the village. So I wish to change that. Yakumo, I want you to become a shinobi of konoha."
...
"You think I will join the same village that enslaved me!?" Her eyes filled with anger as the hokage's guard readied themselves "As if I would ever join the same village to betrayed me!"
"No, you were betrayed by sarutobi hiruzen the previous hokage. He failed to help you control your powers and keep your ido in check. That man is no longer hokage, I am. Where he failed I will succeed" Naruto assured her.
"And how will you do that?" she spat at him.
The immortal raised his hand as he motioned the guard to bring something in. As the guard did that he spoke again "You see I asked around and found that you seemed to enjoy watching a certain genin when his training routine passed by your home. Your mood also changed negatively when he vanished and the rumors about him during the chunin exam."
Outside the room the two heard someone coming in and when the door opened Yakumo's eyes widen in shock.
...
"L-Lee?"

Naruto let out a yawn as he stretched his limbs. Getting Yakumo to agree to his offering was rather difficult thanks to the girls distrust to village and hokages in general. It was a blessing to learn that the girl had some sort of infatuation with lee. The servants under her noticed it all the time and informed him of it seeing that this entire debacle should be ended.
He informed the genin under Gai about the situation and why he is needed. To say Lee was surprised was an understatement but at least he was willingly to help him in whatever way possible. After that he allowed Lee and Yakumo some time together before offering his deal to her. Under the deal Yakumo would be handed from the care of the kurama clan to Konoha.
In return she would receive private mental care for her ido as the Yamanaka clan would help her in controlling it or even getting rid of it for good. She would also begin shinobi training under strict watch until it was safe for her to be inducted into the shinobi corps. Jiraiya would also give yearly checks on her seal to make sure she won't use her bloodline until the hokage gives approval.
For most of the first few years will be focusing on dealing with the ido and doing what is possible to keep it under control. Yakumo agreed to the deal even if she was still unsure, but with only other option was death she galdy took if it meant spending more time with her crush. Right now he would watch Yakumo's progress and Kurenai surprising support will aid in that.
He hoped that the two could mend their relation, it would be a shame to see it grow weaker anymore. Kurenai herself even offered to take her as a part of her team. At the moment all anyone can do is see how this goes.
Rubbing his eyes he looked at the newest paper in front of him. It seems the world loved throwing more problems at him. Looking at the paper he saw the request on it.
To defend the famous actress Yukie Fujikaze and escort her to the land of snow
Hey there everyone. So before you saying anything yes I do read the reviews and seeing about this chapter I know that all or a lot of you really hate and personally I can agree with you. looking back I can see that I greatly rushed it as when I was making this chapter I was kinda of burnt out and wasn't really caring.
Looking back it was true and I had a lot of idea going everywhere without a cohesive goal in mind for that chapter. Because of that I decided to pause on working chapter 36 and make a new chapter 35 from the ground that is more of what I intended.
So anyone expecting chapter 36 I apologize and hope this is something that can make it up. If you see grammatic issues or missed pronunciation that I apologize for it.
I hope you all enjoy this newer and hopefully better chapter 35
