Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Marvel.
Hello everyone I need to address something; I just want you guys to know that this story is loosely based on Marvel's Black Widow, that is why Naru is a red head in this story.
The First Week:
The first week of Koharu's venture was to put into one word, chaotic. For starters, Koharu now had the responsibility of caring for three infants, which she had no idea how to do. Sure, Koharu had a son, but she had had a nanny raise him while she was busy helping Hiruzen run the village.
To put it simply, she didn't have the first clue on how to care for a baby; fortunately, Danzo helped her out by assigning three of his female Root operatives as caregivers. The term caregiver should be used lightly here, as all they did was feed and change the infants, they did not provide the infants with any love and nourishment.
The second problem was that the Hokage was in an uproar over the fact that not one, not two, but three! Infants had disappeared from the village under his watch. He had immediately put the village on lockdown; no one could leave or enter the village, which made it impossible for Koharu to visit her new charges.
Of course, she wasn't too worried since she had the help from Danzo's soldiers looking over them; however, the Uchiha, Nara, and one Hatake threatening to burn down the village if the babies weren't found concerned her. The anger and pure range radiating from them over the infants almost made her change her mind; however, she reminded herself that this was for the greater good of the people and threw that thought from her head.
Hiruzen suspected Danzo right away and just as she had predicated searched his base. Of course that searched turned up nothing as neither Danzo nor her were dumb enough to leave a paper trail behind.
The fact that there wasn't evidence didn't stop Hiruzen from pointing the finger at the old war hawk. Only after he threatened him did he leave Danzo alone; never once did he suspect Koharu of wrongdoing.
By the time Wednesday rolled around, things had calmed down enough that she could breathe again and stop worrying that a team of Anbu was going to crash through her window. Once that fear was gone, she focused her attention back on her plans.
It dawned on her that she would be unable to train the brats until they were three, that didn't mean she couldn't start conditioning them. First, she would have the babies placed in cages to condition them too-tight spaces, when they were older she would move to handcuff them to their beds.
Furthermore, when the children reached the age of three, she would start putting them in abusive situations where the three would have only each other to rely on; this would ensure the team's work ethic.
Koharu knew, however, she couldn't have them be abused all the time, as this might cause the children to defect, which would mean failure, and she did not want to fail.
The second issue she needed to figure out was what kind of team she wanted the brats to be. In the shinobi world, each team had its purpose; some were hard hitters while others were trackers. Yes, Koharu wanted her team to be primarily an assassination unit; however, she also wanted her team to be able to do it all.
Shikamaru had the potential to become a hard hitter and now that he was away from the influence of his family Koharu was sure she could give him a work ethic. He would also serve as the teams' strategist and back up genjutsu user.
Sasuke would give the team a genjutsu and kenjutsu user and Koharu also planned on developing his Sharingan for all it was worth.
Naru though was her real prize. Koharu was aware of the girl's heritage, and she also knew enough about the Uzumaki clan thanks to Mito Sama. The number of possibilities that opened up for the girl was astounding, and she planned to pursue and train all of Naru's gifts to their full potential.
The road ahead would not be an easy one; however, in the long run, it would be worth it.
