Author: It's me again with another genderbent Naruto, but this time it's a crossover. Like my previous fic this is a proof of concept and a test to see whether people would be interested in such a nuanced crossover. I know it won't be to everyone's like but for those who want strange and out there settings and plots, here it is. More at the end.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and/or Jujutsu Kaisen, they belong to their respective creators Masashi Kishimoto and Gege Akutami.
Chapter 1: The Monkey King
The day had been slow and uninteresting. The silence of the school grounds was almost deafening to one Itadori Yuji as he tossed and turned in his bunk trying to alleviate his body's unrest. His eyes occasionally settled on his phone hoping to see it light up with the anticipated message promised to him and his two peers by their teacher, unfortunately for them Gojo Satoru had eccentric punctuality. It had been nearly a day since he informed them of a pending mission one that would take them out to the outskirts of Tokyo, the man had insisted on scouting the area before they rushed into confrontation of a rumoured Curse.
Yuji had begun to think that Gojo-sensei had already exorcised the Curse and just forgot to tell them, it would not be the first time it happened nor would it be the last.
He groaned and rolled over onto his stomach, burying his face into his pillow. He could have been keeping busy in the city, doing something to keep himself from the clutches of boredom. Megumi had dismissed him earlier claiming he was preoccupied, and Nobara was off somewhere possibly shopping.
Thump. Thump. Thump
"Oi Itadori, open up."
He perked and nearly leapt out of his bed, his excitement almost shoving him into the wall. He swung his door open with vigor to meet the awaiting gazes of his friends, bothing looking ready to set out. He blinked seeing their looks of irritation and he could only wonder what he did to bother them now.
"What's the deal with making us wait?" the lone girl of the trio asked with a fierce intensity in her eyes. Once again he could only flutter his eyes in confusion, a small 'eh' leaving his lips.
"Gojo-sensei sent us a message almost an hour ago telling us to head out to Shinjuku station. We've been waiting for you at the gate!" She took a hold of his collar and he yelped, shielding his face from any incoming attacks Nobara may have planned.
"W-what message?! I've been waiting and nothing has come in!"
"Huh?!"
Megumi pinched his brow. Of course Gojo-sensei would let something like that slip, but in hindsight they should have retrieved Yuji a few minutes into their wait instead of waiting for an hour. Sometimes he hated that man and the troubles he brought.
"Let's just go. We don't want to keep Uzumaki-senpai waiting." He intervened, more so due to the concern of his own safety rather than to save Yuji. Nobara huffed and released her hold.
"Uzumaki-senpai?" He asked, unfamiliar with the name.
"One of our seniors, she's a third year student and we don't want to keep her waiting."
The prospect of meeting another student, let alone a third year, excited him and thus he wasted no time in gathering what little belongings he needed. Locking his door and standing within the circle they shared a look before setting off to their destination.
Outside of Takaosanguchi Station - 18:30
The trio of first years stood huddled together, all three wearing varying expressions of impatience and annoyance. Two hours had passed since they left Shinjuku station and arrived at Takaosanguchi station, their senior nowhere to be seen. They had all attempted to contact Gojo-sensei in an effort to inform him and receive some feedback and instructions but the man was predictably unreachable so they were left stranded.
"Why is everyone in this school so tardy?" Nobara practically growled out as she began to pace back and forth, long abandoning her spot next to the two boys. Yuji withheld any comments fearing her wrath and instead scouted the area, watching as the crowds slowly dispersed. The street lamps had gone on a while ago and the moon had replaced the sun. If they stayed any longer they would miss the return train and would need to find alternative transport back to school.
"Eh, Fushiguro, have you managed to find Uzumaki-senpai's number?" he asked, looking over his friend's shoulder as he scrolled through his phone. A grunt of frustration told him otherwise and sighed slinking back to his corner. A pause of silence was shared between them before Megumi hummed, grabbing their attention.
"I think I got it." Their eyes lit up as they scurried over to the dark haired boy and watched as he dialed the number and brought the phone to his ear. The phone murmured, a second turned into two and then three, just as he was about to drop it and try again, an audible click was heard followed by the ambience of footsteps.
"Hello, Uzumaki speaking."
"Ah, Uzumaki-senpai, it's Fushiguro Megumi. We're at Takaosanguchi station."
There was silence and just as he was about to speak again a voice called out from behind them.
"I'm here."
All three swiveled around to face the origin of the voice, two out of the three looking on in curiosity at the figure. Blonde unruly hair pulled into equally wild pigtails framed a masked face, only a pair of bright blue eyes being the only discernible facial features alongside the tan patch of skin of her brow. The girl was shorter than both Yuji and Megumi but trumped Nobara by a few centimetres. Her uniform mimicked a sailor fuku with modifications to match not only their school but her tastes as well; the navy blue blouse cut off at her midriff revealing a toned stomach, the sleeves were rolled up to her elbows to accommodate the wrappings concealing her forearms. A long pleated skirt sat around her waist, a single slit running down the side to reveal shy hints of the stockings she wore underneath leading into scuffed. The look was completed by an embellished black jacket with hints of orange, draped over her shoulders and held in place by a red cord.
'Sukeban!' was the shared thought between Nobara and Yuji.
"Uzumaki-senpai," Fushiguro was the first to greet her, "Not to be rude or anything, but why were you late? Gojo-sensei informed us you were waiting here already."
The girl scowled before snorting, "He said that did he? That man and his bullshit. I sent the message saying I would be here by this time, he was meant to tell ya that but I see he decided to mess things up."
All four could only envision the man snickering like the child he was, trapped in an adult's body.
"But forgetting about him, it's good to see you, Megumin." They didn't need to see her mouth to know she was grinning, her eyes thinning into rounded slits of amusement. The target of her teasing could only look away to hide his flustered face, muttering under his breath at the term of endearment.
"Megumin eh?" The other two butted in.
"Uzumak-senpai, please."
"Fine, not in front of your friends." She relinquished her teasing before eyeing Yuji and Nobara, "Uzumaki Naruto, and you two must be Kugisaki Nobara and Itadori Yuji." Respectively they nodded, accompanied by bows of recognition.
"We've got that out of the way now, let's get to business."
"Yes!"
"Some time during the week reports came in of suspiciously high concentrations of Cursed energy readings within the confines of Mt. Takao," She crossed the streets and they followed after her, paying heed to her words.
"At first intel thought little of these readings, after all a powerful Curse ruled this area in a bygone era so it was assumed some lingering energy had mingled with humans, ultimately benign in nature." All three had their own thoughts as they cut through the small town leading them towards the entrance of the mountain.
"But the workers have been reporting that the macaques have been acting strangely with a few found dead, their corpses charred and encased in a rubbery substance."
"Eh?!" Yuji leapt in surprise, how come they did not hear about this sooner!
"The public was informed that it was an act of vandalism and an act of a sick mind, but we suspect that another Curse has taken up residence here and feeds on the monkeys."
Naruto halted her briefing as they reached the dimly lit chair lift station. A man garbed in beige overalls met them.
"Uzumaki-san, we have managed to steer the employees away from the night. Although I have not seen it myself, I can hear the Curse loitering near the macaques." The man informed and the blonde nodded in thanks before turning to her juniors.
"Satoru holds you all in high regards, so I will assume you can take care of yourselves," She began, eyes peering deep into their souls as they stood before her, attentive in their demeanours, "However, if things turn south fall back to me and I'll deal with the mess."
They were escorted towards the chair lifts and Naruto took the lead with Nobara occupying the one behind her, Megumi and Yuji followed respectively.
Itadori squinted his eyes as he gazed out into the dark, faintly making out the outlines of the trees as they scaled towards their destination. This would be their second mission together and with the addition of Naruto he wondered how this one would turn out. The last one taught him to be ready for anything and everything, but also to trust in his teammates, Nobara proved that well enough in the aftermath. His thoughts wandered over to the outlier of the scenario, the blonde enigma that was Uzumaki Naruto. She was a third year student and from what little he heard, the third year roster was a powerhouse. Uzumaki carried herself with an air of confidence, the kind that Gojo-sensei gave off and speaking of the man, if he trusted her to lead them then he would follow her word without a doubt.
"Psst, oi, Fushiguro."
The boy in question sighed before looking over his shoulder.
"Yes?"
"So, Uzumaki-senpai, is she strong?"
Fushiguro paused, gathering his thoughts and putting together an answer. It was no secret that Naruto was one of those Sorcerers that would grow up to fables and legends, Gojo referenced it whenever he went on his tyriads. He knew little about her abilities but having faced her in a mock spar he could attest that her strength was insane and monstrous, dwarfing even that of Yuji's natural physical feats. There was only one way to best describe her.
"She's a Special Grade."
"Huuuuh?!" Hearing Yuji exclaim in surprise told him he understood the scale of the third year's prowess.
Within the pink haired boy's being, the King of Curses hummed in interest.
Their ride came to a stop and with hurried steps they were climbing up the hiking trail. They could now sense the cursed energy pulsing in droves from its epicentre.
"We're almost there. Get ready."
As they reached the monkey park they saw plumes of smoke rising into the night sky. The stench of burnt flesh lingered in the air and the screams and chatters of the macaques broke the ominous silence.
"I am your king!"
A gravelly voice yelled followed by an eruption of flames. The team prowled closer to the enclosure, the bright glow of the flames growing more intense as they neared their target. Naruto was the first to peek over the railing, first noticing the number of burnt macaques and their dissolving carcasses. Their bodies laid a trail that she followed with her gaze up to a stack of boulders where the flames had pooled into a river of lava. The smell of sulphur was obnoxious and hard to bear, but the blonde Sorcerer ignored it.
"You insolent dimwits! You allow yourselves to be caged, and watched as entertainment by these hairless rodents!"
The voice boomed once more and she finally spotted their target. A monkey covered in crimson fur and grin skin. Its form muscular and hunched over with four tails swaying behind it. Horns protruded from its forehead like a crown of yellowed ivory, matching the blut tusks jutting from its mouth. In its hand it held a squealing macaque, the distressed animal clawing at the palm that held it. Flames slowly crawled up its body eating away its fur before devouring its flesh in fiery agony.
"We've got our guy." She whispered to the first years as they prepped for the confrontation.
Naruto was the first to act as she leapt over the railing, and before she could hit the ground she had to flip midair to avoid a glob of lava flung at her. She snorted glaring at the Curse as it returned the glare, standing at its full height.
"The hairless vermin make themselves known," It sniffed at the air, its face contorting into a look of disgust, "Sorcerers no less."
"You don't smell too good yourself," she remarked as she rose from her crouched position, "I love what you did with the place, the dying monkeys really bring out earthy browns." her eyes trailed from the corpses to where the first years were hidden. She narrowed her eyes and signalled for them to remain in position.
"You mock me? It seems you have some bark to you. I will enjoy using your skull to scrape my back!"
Flames tore through the surface, shooting towards her in rapid succession. The blonde managed to evade them, hugging the wall and rolling alongside its curvature. Once the attack died down she burst into action, using the strewn boulders as platforms to avoid the active flames and trails of lava. Pushing off the tallest boulder she could find she launched herself into the air, peaking just above the railings before descending towards the Curse.
"Tsūtenkyaku!"
She stretched her leg out, heel extended and poised towards the enemy. The Curse brought its arms up in defense, only to immediately regret it as they collided. A blast of air parted from the impact, followed by the shattering earth. The Curse cried in frustration and pain as a large crater formed in the wake of the kick.
"Yosh! Great job Uzumaki-senpai-" Yuji found himself dragged back to his hiding spot, Megumi furiously covering his mouth.
Below the dust cleared, Naruto left the crater to observe the kneeling Curse. It was angered that was certain, its arm bent at an awkward angle with a visible dent in its hide.
"Y-You! Mongrel!"
Lava quickly filled the crater and Naruto backed away. The Curse broke the surface of the pool, arm gradually putting itself back together.
"I am the great Son Goku! Sen'en no Ō! Seiten Taisei!"
"Oh, hi, Mark."
Silence.
"Bwaaahahaahaaa!" Yuji's laughter echoed from their spot, and his peers could only curse the boy, their cover had been blown.
"You three might as well join in now."
At her command and with last shared glare at Yuji, the first years leapt from their spot and joined Naruto.
"Four pests, I'll make sure to savour your disgusting flesh as I gnaw on your bones."
Son Goku raised its hand and the remaining macaques that were tucked away began to scream, clutching at their heads. Their bodies bled a crimson fluid that would burst into fire, their very forms twisted into devilish imps.
"That's much preferred. Minions, attack!"
Suddenly they were rushed by the small critters, hands ready to claw into their flesh.
"You three fend off the macaques, I'll deal with our big guy!"
"Right!"
The three were separated as they faced their own splinter groups of the corrupted animals.
Yuji ducked and weaved as the monkeys threw themselves at him, one managed to stay on his trail. The primate aimed for his abdomen but he lashed out with a knee, catching it by the chin before punching it away. More came his way, the first year could only fend off the assault with as much caution as he could muster. More and more of the macaques dropped to the ground, either dead or unconscious from the bout.
He eyed Fushiguro as the older boy had called upon his hounds, the Shikigami ripping into the mutated monkeys and tossing their lifeless bodies aside. He could not help but cringe at the sight, regretting lacking any means to help the animals. He could see it in Fushiguro's eyes as well as he avoided looking at the corpses.
Nobara was handling it better, her nails stabbing into the distorted macaques and ending them with a swift preciseness.
"Worthless rodents!"
Naruto cackled as she slipped underneath the swipe made at her. She was running circles around the lumbering Curse, waiting for an opening. There was no doubt about her capability to vanquish it, however she wanted to test just how hard the first years could hit.
"Oi, Itadori, with me!"
He rushed into the fray needing no instructions as they both circled the Curse, dodging its attempts to melt them. Naruto was the first to strike, her fist smashing into its back with a resounding crackle. It howled and staggered throwing its arms out to try and combat the pests, this left an opening that Yuji took advantage of, leaping and delivering a kick into its side.
"Argh! You are fortunate I have yet to reach my full strength!"
They had to back away as Son Goku slammed his fists into the ground, the earth crumbling before a pillar of lava erupted into the sky. They all eyed the column before retreating as it came crashing down, scorching the areas they once populated.
The group huddled and Naruto eyed the other girl, "Kugisaki, what do you need?" she asked, causing Nobara to perk up before pointing to her hammer.
"Get me some of its hair."
She nodded and turned to Megumi.
"You heard her."
His Shikigami rushed forward, leaping over the puddles of lava and flanking the Curse. Naruto followed after and was soon joined by Yuji, all four attacked at once. Son Goku tried to swat away the dogs first but found his arms trapped by the two humans, allowing the Shikigami to sink their teeth into his flesh. He grunted trying to shake them off only to toss them into the air leaving his head open.
"Tsūtenkyaku!"
Naruto's foot smashed into his skull, followed by Yuji's fist. The impact brought about another crater and this time forced Son Goku to collapse onto his stomach, crumbling up like discarded paper. The pools of lava fell back, filling up the crater and trapping their creator. The Shikigami had returned to Megumi's side, each dropping a mouthful of flesh and fur. They were joined by the retreating duo Naruto and Yuji, both pleased with their performance.
"Now it's my turn!" Nobara grabbed the fur and pulled out a strawdall from her pouch, two nails slipped in between her fingers. She sized up the Curse as it stumbled onto its feet, the crown on its head broken. It was furious, and she did not want to give it a moment to recover.
"Sūrei Juhō..."
She pressed the fur against the straw doll and drew her hammer back.
"Tomonari!"
A loud clang rang out as the nails pierced both the fur and the doll. Large black spikes ruptured from Son Goku's body, protruding mainly from his sides immobilising him.
"Nice one Kugisaki!"
Naruto took off in a burst of speed, her palm held out. A concentration of cursed energy gathering into a blue sphere about the size of a handball. The Curse could only watch in fear as the gap between them grew smaller and smaller.
"Mark my words! I will- no...you, it's you! Trait-" He pointed an accusing finger at Naruto whose eyes narrowed, she needed to end this.
"Rasengan!"
The technique slammed into Son Goku's chest, drilling into his chest and tearing away skin and flesh. He cried out in pain, trying to fight back but his attempts were futile. With a final push of her hand the orb found its way into the spirit's body, expanding before exploding in a display of gore and viscera.
A moment of silence was shared between them before Naruto broke it with an applause.
"Well done first years, you did well. Son Goku was not at a fraction of his power yet but do not let that undersell your performance. You're well on your ways to being powerful Sorcerers, dattebayo!"
Yuji and Nobara blinked before pointing at her, "Dattebayo?" Yuji was the first to ask.
"Dattebayo! That's what she said, Yuji!"
"Hey! It's a verbal tic! Dattebayo!"
"She said it again!"
"Argh!"
Megumi sighed, his attention drawn towards his Shikigami as they watched the humans interact in confusion. If only they knew how he shared their sentiments.
End of chapter 1
Juju Stroll #1 - Senpai chef
The team blinked as they were escorted down a dark alley in Tokyo. Their mission was a success and they were ready to sleep for the rest of the night, but Uzumaki-senpai stopped them in their tracks and hijacked their ride.
"Eh senpai, where are we going?"
"You're hungry aren't you?"
All three of their stomachs grumbled in unison.
A few moments later and they came upon an isolated stall, Naruto walked in and they all followed soon after, enticed by the scent of food.
"Teuchi-jiji, I'm back."
"Ho! Naruto-chan, we were just about to close."
An elderly man chuckled as he came from the back, greeting them all with a warm smile.
"Teuchi-jiji, these are my juniors, Fushiguro Megumi, Itadori Yuji, and Kugisaki Nobara."
He eyed them all and nodded as they bowed to him in greetings, "Welcome, welcome, I am Ichiraku Teuchi and this is my little shop."
They watched as Naruto flipped a portion of the counter granting her access to the back. She disappeared and returned a few moments later, her jacket now replaced by an apron.
"I'll prepare them my speciality, take the sum from my pay."
The man nodded as he left them. As Naruto worked in the kitchen the three discussed amongst themselves.
"Senpai is a chef?" Yuji asked.
"It seems like she works here."
"Can you two stop leaning against me?"
"Ne Fushiguro is senpai a chef?"
Megumi growled before slapping the boy over the head, electing a snicker from Nobara. Their conversation became miscellaneous as the minutes ticked by before Naruto returned, placing three bowls before them.
"Naruto Miso pork ramen!"
They looked at the bowls, all noticing the fishcake toppings.
"Uzumaki-senpai...Naruto...eeeeeh! Naruto!"
Why did they have to share the same brain cell, those two?
"Just eat already!"
"Itadakimasu!"
They all slurped up the noodles, their faces lighting up at the taste. Yuji and Nobara were more vocal about their surprise while Megumi muttered, a soft smile on his face.

Author: So there's chapter 1, what do you guys think?
Naruto is a girl in this iteration and she is a third year student. She is a special grade due to stuff that will be revealed in the near future. Will other Naruto characters make an appearance? some of them, but they won't play major roles with an exception of a few. This will stick to JJK canon for the canon characters, but that doesn't mean I'll sideline Naruto or her adventures she will get involved where I think she should, but for the most part she will be having her own adventures sometimes with the other cast.
Naruto does have Tsunade's insane strength kind of like Yuji hers is a "natural" so to speak. As for her Innate/Inherited techniques that's actually something I'm still trying to fully figure out but I do have an idea, however I will note now that Rasengan and the shadow clones will just be techniques that can be learned by anyone, but they'll be exclusive to her due to plot reasons and well the reasoning behind their existence. Is Kurama around? hm, yes, as we saw with Son Goku, the old monkey hinted stuff. On the topic of Son Goku he might or might not return fully powered up, who knows? me, me knows. So yes Naruto is crazy powerful, she has the potential to be even stronger but at the moment not on Gojo's level she can and will get her ass kicked when she runs into a tougher opponent.
And lets not forget the pairings, honestly not sure. Naruto has a crush on Nanami, but if you know you know, so that's not going anywhere. This will honestly have its time to shine, so it's not a big deal for the time being.
I think that's about it, I don't want to write paragraph upon paragraph here. Down below will be some Trivia on Naruto. With that said thank you for reading and having a pleasant day/night.
