Naruko POV
I woke up in four in morning headed for the shower.
I stood in the shower for a good twenty minutes, allowing the scalding hot water to cascade down my body. Allowing the water to run down my face a moment, I turned the water off, grabbed my towel, and stepped out of the shower.
Drying off in my room, I picked out the new clothes I was going to wear today. I decided on a sleeveless blue hood shirt with pockets in the lower center, dark blue shorts, and some blue Ninja sandals. I carefully tied my forehead protector around my forehead this time. As I walked out of my room and saw Kurama in the kitachen. "Umm Kurama could you help me with my hair." I said as he turned around and looked at me with a smile and said "sure thing Naru."
Once kurama was done he had tied my hair into a high pony tail and handed me a box lunch that hold my breakfast and sasuke's. I smiled and hugged him and walked out the door as I could hear kurama "Idiots beware, retribution is coming," Kyuubi repeated out loud, an evil smile showing his sharp canines. As he was now on my shoulder. As Naruko took a bite of a rice ball that kurama had for her to eat on the way to the training ground.
3rd POV with Sakura
Sakura stretched her arms, closing her door behind her. Suppressing a yawn, she bit her lip to keep it in. Yawning, as she deemed, was such an ugly thing. And ugly things would not catch the right kind of attention from Sasuke. Bending forward to stretch some more, a yawn slipped past her lips, and she yawned again for good measure. Rubbing her face in aggravation, she adjusted her forehead-protector-turned-headband. Glancing briefly at the sky, she noticed how the false dawn cast a wan light over the sky, real dawn still an hour away. The sky was still black, resembling the color of Sasuke's eyes, she thought dreamily. There was a tiny, dull light on the horizon, a pale yellow in color. The yellow made her think of the dumb blonde and she scowled instantly.
'No need to get riled up so early in the morning,' She thought to herself, rubbing her eyes and walking down the street.
After a few minutes of silence, she heard a loud growling. Looking around frantically, she recognized it was her stomach and not some feral dog.
Rubbing her stomach mournfully, she continued on her way to the training ground. "I shouldn't have skipped dinner last night," She moaned to herself. "But it's whatever, I started this new diet last night that only allows me to eat salad once a day, and I wanted to look good for my Sasuke-kun."
Trying to stifle another yawn that threatened to escape her lips, she ran her fingers through her smooth, soft hair. Taking a lock of hair between her fingers she examined it critically for any spilt ends or other faults. 'I wonder if I should change my hair? I know Sasuke-kun likes long hair, but does he like it straight or wavy?'
Flipping her hair back over her shoulder, she paused in her step. 'Oh, shit!' She sprinted back the way she had come. She'd forgotten to apply make-up.(wow what useless girl)
Sasuke POV
I stood with my back turned to the front door, my eyes taking in the abandoned household I could see from my vantage point. To the left was the living room, and I only saw the vague outline of my couch in the inky blackness of my house? My kitchen was to the right, and I could see the soft glow of the time.
Four thirty AM.
Turning my back to my house, I yanked open the door and stepped out into the predawn light. My eyes adjusting to the small amount of light, I stepped forward and jumped onto the roof closest to my house. Looking over the vast regal emptiness of the Uchiha District, a look of longing flashed underneath my eyes. Shaking the thoughts of want away, I turned my back. And headed to the training ground. Arriving after the short sprint, I found Naruko already there. She sleeping against a tree, watching her chest rise when she breathed in. I walked towards her and tucked a little piece of hair away from her eyes, revealing her full face, and he let the tiniest smile take over my lips. Naruko soon opened her eyes and here was light blush on her cheeks. She looks cute when she blushes. I thought as I said "Good morning Naruko,".
"Hey Sasuke and good morning!" Giggling Naruko stood up. Allowing herself a few moments to stretch, and hearing the loud cracking of her back, Naruko spoke up again. "So, are you ready to start training?"
"Now?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow, folding my arms. "Yes now, sasuke." Naruko sdaid with a small pout on her face.
"But Kakashi is going to-"
"He'll be two and a half hours late. Remember how we waited for him yesterday? Trust, it's a habit of his." Mockingly smiling at me, Naruko hit my shoulder playfully. "So, ready?"
I thought over the invitation for a moment before allowing a smirk to remain on my otherwise blank face. "Let's do this. What will you teach me first Naruko-chan?" "Today we'll start with chakra-control." Naruko said while rubbing her hands together in a sinister manner, a small chuckle slipped past her plump lips. Naruko lead me to the wooded area behind the three posts staked into the ground.
Naruko POV
I and kurama were staring at something on the ground. So I poked it lightly with my foot, before I slammed my foot into its side. Flinching with a start, Sasuke shot his death glare at me, the glare intensifying as he noticed mine and Kurama's look of enjoyment. Sasuke was sprawled on his back, trying to regulate his breathing once again. Two hours of nonstop tree-climbing made him extremely exhausted. Through that feeling, however, another feeling quickly blossomed and overshadowed the tiredness. Accomplishment. He was grinning, realizing that all of this was worth it.
I looked down at him, blocking out the morning sun, and gave him a blinding smile.
"Well done sasuke," I praised, extending a hand towards him. Sasuke considered my hand for a moment, contemplating if he would take my hand. Face going blank for a second, Sasuke realized the large symbolism from the small gesture. He grabbed my hand, hauling himself off the rough forest floor.
"You're almost there Sasuke, but your progress is amazing! Being able to reach half of the tree in only two hours-" I trailed off, at a loss of words. While Kurama was yipping in an agreement. As I offered Sasuke a bottle of water. Sasuke eagerly took the bottle, gulping down the refreshing liquid and basking in my praise. He directed the conversation to me, praising me. "It's nothing compared to how you've already mastered it," Sasuke replied easily, thoughts drifting to the fact that he would be able to walk up trees with little problem in no time.
I smiled at him as I was about to speak when a large growl broke the silence. Looking at Sasuke's stomach, I giggled and unsealed the lunch box kurama had gave me this morning.. opening it I pulled out a few onigiri.
"Here, have some." I held out one to Sasuke, taking a bite out of my pork flavored one. As I gave kurama a bite too as he was wagging his tail. As he enjoyed his food.
"Kakashi said we shouldn't eat breakfast, Naruko." Sasuke said as He looked at me. A sly smirk appeared on my face as I chewed thoughtfully. "Are you sure? Kakashi suggested that we should skip breakfast, not that we couldn't eat at all." I said as I took another bite.
3rd POV
Sasuke said nothing else as he took the proffered onigiri and took a bite. Soon he held a smirk as well. It was okaka and tomato onigiri, which was his absolute favorite. He briefly wondered how Naruko knew what his favorite food was, but quickly brushed it aside.
Few mins later
Naruko laid on the ground peacefully with her eyes closed while Kurama was sleep on her chest. Sasuke took a seat beside her and stared at her face, watching her chest rise when she breathed in. He tucked a little piece of hair away from eyes, revealing her full face, and he let the tiniest smile take over his lips.
He felt lucky to have someone like Naruko looking out for him he could even call her, his best friend, and she was lucky to have him as hers even though they only hang out for two hours. They now the best of friends and she was the closest to family had left and vice versa. He gently placed her head on his lap, looking down at how her eyes squinted together tightly. Sakura, seeing her longtime crush, immediately perked up, wiping away any traces of her momentary sleep induced stupor. But only for her hope to crash down when she saw when her eyes landed on the blonde she snarled in loathing. When she saw Naruko sleeping on Sasuke's lap.
Kakashi approached them while he scratched his neck sheepishly. "Sorry I'm late, a black cat crossed my path so I had to take the long way."
"You're late!" Sakura screeched, enraged at her sensei's behavior. She then began ranting about proper etiquette and how being on time showed respect and willingness to be at the place specified. While Kakashi didn't listen to her as his eyes then landed on the sleeping Naruko, who laid peacefully on Sasuke's lap, letting out quiet snores. His breath hitched, but he managed to cough, making Sasuke look up at him before shaking Naruko gently waking both Naruko and Kurama. The small fox jumped off Naruko chest as the blonde teenage girl sat up and rubbed her eyes drowsily before looking at Kakashi, who already looked at her.
"Sorry." Kakashi looked at her with a soft expression as she sent him an apologetic smile. "It's okay." He paused, watching how Naruko's eyes opened completely, and he felt drawn to her Sapphire orbs yet again.
He cleared his throat, awkwardly before turning to his new team. "Now, as for the test." Team 7 turned to him, listening to whatever the silver haired jōnin had to say. He held up two small bells. "Your assignment is very simple. Just take these bells from me. You have 'till noon. If you don't get a bell, you don't get lunch."
"So that's why you said not to eat breakfast!" Shouted Sakura, grimacing at the sharp hunger pang. Next to her Naruko and Sasuke shared slightly guilty looks while Kurama made small whimper, though underneath both Naruko's and Kurama's mask of sympathy was an evil joy at the pinkette's misery.
"There's only two bells, sensei." Sakura's expression was a cross between pain and confusion, the pain slowly winning out.
'Thank you, Captain Obvious.' Both Naruko and kurama thought bitterly, as Naruko narrowed her eyes a little. "Exactly, then at least one of you will fail and be tied to a post while watching the others eat. And also will be sent back to the academy." The two Genin widened their eyes in shock, will Naruko and Kurama merely rolled they're eyes.
"Scare tactics?" She asked bitingly, inspecting a chipped nail. Sakura and Sasuke glanced in her direction before turning back to Kakashi, who was currently inspecting the blonde before him.
"Uh, you can use any weapons, skills, and jutsu you know. If you don't come at me with the intent to kill, you won't be able to get a bell."
"B-but sensei, that's too dangerous! We could seriously hurt you!" Sakura shouted in bewilderment, green eyes wild and fearful.
Kakashi chuckled at the naivety of the pinkette. "When I say start we begin."
"Start!" He exclaimed lazily, face still hidden behind the book.
Dropping a smoke bomb at her feet, Both Naruko Kurama jumped away, the thick smoke obscuring her movements. Sasuke used the smoke to hide as well, rolling away to take cover in the trees. Quickly walking up one, Sasuke thanked Naruko repeatedly for helping him with the exercise. Naruko landed on the tree branch beside him, shushing him with her finger when he almost yelped in surprise. While kurama was on her shoulder looking at sasuke with an amuse look on his face.
Sakura, not knowing what to do, fled from the area. She ran towards the shrubs outlining the field, hiding behind a random bush. She was panting heavily and looking around for her precious Sasuke-kun. Not finding him in her line of vision, panic soon seized her movements. She stumbled through the bushes, calling out his name. "Why is he just standing there reading? Is this a joke?" Sasuke whispered to Naruko, a thick undertone of irritation flooding his words.
Naruko didn't say anything, instead eyeing the Jounin before her critically. 'I can change this test to my favor, since I know what happens next.' Kurama get ready Naruko said through their mind link as Kurama nodded his head and disappeared.
Kakashi soon disappeared out of the clearing.
'I could help Sakura from the mental turmoil she's about to go through, but…I don't feel like it.' Naruko jumped from the branch she was perched on, beckoning behind her for Sasuke to follow. She soon picked up the familiar scent of Kakashi, and followed it silently.
Naruko POV
A terrified scream tore through the air, making Sasuke and I flinch from the intensity. Stopping in our pursuit of Kakashi, Sasuke turned his piercing gaze onto me. "What the hell was that?" Sasuke said as he looked at me. I blinked. "I think that was Sakura." "Well should we help her?" Sasuke asked he looked at where the scream came from.
"No, because I have a plan. We need to distract him long enough for Kurama to get the bells I said as I looked at Sasuke. I can tell that Sasuke was slightly put-off by my disregard of Sakura, Sasuke harbored a look of doubt and that's when he noticed that my Fox is gone.
"Don't worry sasuke," I consoled, shaking my head, "She'll wake up soon. She just saw something…disturbing." biting my thumb and forming some handsigns. A large puff of smoke out my puppet the Shinigami. Sasuke looked at it, in shocked and bit scared.
I'll send shinigami to ambush him from the back. Then Kurama will swoop in and take the bells."
Sasuke nodded before him and I dashed out of their hiding place along with my Shinigami puppet close to me.
3rd POV
After tormenting Sakura, and enjoying it immensely, Kakashi Shunshined into the clearing the test began in. He was still holding the orange book, giggling every few moments. The giggling was soon replaced by a tired sigh, eyes flicking to the rapidly approaching chakra signature for a moment, before concentrating on his book once more. But one to jump back when giant scythe came Crashing Down in the same location where he was standing not just moments ago. Kakashi looked at who attacked him only to be in shock when he saw the death god stand there. Hearing the slight whiz of kunai zipping through the air, Kakashi lazily stepped to the side to avoid the barrage.
When suddenly the ground exploded behind him and an ANBU puppet rose out ready to strike Kakashi with his sword.
He pulls out a kunai and blocks the sword, and then he ducks as a scythe flies over his head, cutting off a few hairs. He jumps back and watches as the 2 puppets regroup. Only to jump back again when heard "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Making a ring with his index finger and thumb, Sasuke expelled the large fire from his mouth towards his sensei, who ran straight into the blaze, disappearing. The hot stream ignited the grass and tore out a crater in the dirt. Rushing forward, Sasuke covered his face with his arms and jumped straight through the lingering flames. "That was very impressive. You have a great deal of chakra for one so young," an amused voice called out seemingly from every direction. Whirling around, Sasuke came face to chest with Kakashi, whose book was held almost protectively against his chest. "You almost burnt my book!"
A kick slammed into Sasuke's right side, completely unexpected. When out of nowhere The 2 puppets then speed forward and slash and swing their weapons in his direction, Kakashi was hiding pulls out a second kunai and block both swings, and receive a double kick to the gut, knocking him back. But to only stop when they heard the sound of charming Bells fill their ears. Kakashi and Sasuke turned around to see Kurama Naruko's fox holding the two bells. As he ran towards Naruko jumping in the air as Naruko caught the small fox and smiled and kissed his forehead and said "good boy kurama, you got the bells for me and Sasuke." Naruko turned to Kakashi and said "Looking for these?" Naruto held up a pair of glinting metal balls, a mischievous smile on her face, a twinkle in her eyes. As Narko tossed one to Sasuke, and kept one for herself. Petting kurama who now was resting on Naruko's left shoulder. "Check inside your pouch," she stated, nodding towards the container. Followed by all her puppets.
Surreptitiously feeling inside his pouch, though he knew Naruko was watching him like a hawk, his hand only brushed against his Icha Icha, a few kunai, some medical tape, and some soldier pills. Never the bells. While we were fighting I had Kurama get the Bells from you. While me and Sasuke were distracting you in our fight. Sasuke use his Fireball technique while I use my puppets to keep you busy. While Kurama took the bells without you knowing. Naruko said, with a smile. As She resealed her puppets.
Sakura was still passed out on the ground when Kakashi and his two new students plus fox, found her. Kakashi shook her gently, not getting a response, before roughly shoving her shoulder. Sill not rousing the out cold Kunoichi, Kakashi nodded to Naruko. Naruko handed kurama to Kakashi as Naruko walked up to Sakura and yelled.
"SAKURA, SASUKE NEEDS YOUR HELP! INO-PIG IS TRYING TO TAKE HIM AWAY!"
Sakura woke with a start, gasping and bolting upright, before feminine fury seeped across her slightly pale face. "INO-PIG!" She screeched, startling the Jounin and two other Genin plus fox. "I'M GOING TO KI-" In that moment her eyes landed on Sasuke, and she promptly grabbed onto him.
"Oh Sasuke-kun!" She blubbered, taking in huge gulps of air after her little…lapse in sanity. "It was so terrible! You were bleeding so much, and you were broken almost everywhere with weapons sticking out, and I…" She gibbered on, unaware that no one was really listening nor really cared.
"Stop hugging me." Sasuke grumbled, using all of his strength to get out of Sakura's death grip. The silver haired Jounin turned his piercing gaze on all of them. "Naruko-chan and Brooder, and fox" Kakashi addressed, Kurama growled at him, "You will stay and have lunch. Sakura, I'm sorry but you will have to go back to the academy for another year. After lunch I would like your Ninja License and Forehead Protector so I can return the items," Kakashi said solemnly, though his eyes showed otherwise.
"But, but it's not fair!" She cried in despair, not wanting to let Sasuke and Naruko be alone.
"You passed out during the test from a weak genjutsu…Something an Academy Student could dispel. Also, I'm afraid you won't get lunch either, and I'm going to have to tie you to a training post." Kakashi grabbed the pinkette by her scrawny arm and dragged her to the middle training post, pulling out some rope and tying her there. While Kurama was laughing his ass of in seeing this.
Turning away from the silently sniffling girl, Kakashi held out two bento boxes. "Here is your food. Go ahead and eat, as you will need your strength." With a small wave he turned and began to leave. "Oh, one last thing." Turning his head, he glared fiercely at the two attempting to eat under the sudden wave of killing intent. "Sakura doesn't get any lunch. If you give her any food I will fail you two immediately. Do you understand?" once Kakashi was gone Naruto, completely disregarding her sensei's orders, unsealed her own box lunch and toward Sakura with the one kakashi gave her case kurama cooking taste soo much better than store bought ones. "Here, you shouldn't have to go hungry. Plus, starting a new diet drains a lot of energy, especially your kinds of diets Sakura." Naruko said with Venom in her voice.
"I don't need it!" Sakura hissed, wondering in the back of her mind how Naruko- 'The dobe', she stressed- knew about her eating habits.
Naruko stepped back, a mock hurt expression on her face. "Your loss…" she trailed off, backing up some more. But smiled as she saw Kurama yipping and trying to open her box lunch. As Naruko giggle in see how cute he looks when he trying open something a bit big for him in his small fox form. Having been eating his lunch quietly, Sasuke huffed in frustration. In one fluid movement he had put his chopsticks down and glared at Sakura. "Why are you being so rude to Naruko. she trying to help you, you idiot? Just take the damn thing and stop being a bitch." Sasuke said as he smiled in seeing Naruko feeding her fox how looks like it's playing tug of war with a piece of meat Naruko was holding
"Sa-Sasuke-kun…?" Sakura flinched at her idol's scold, a wounded expression overtaking her reluctance. As soon as she looked at Naruko, hate just manifested in her eyes. While Naruko was too busy playing with kurama as she thought 'I hate you too.' As she nastily, pushing the ball of rice in her face. Sakura rolled her eyes, the hate dissipating, then took a tiny nibble from the rice ball in Naruko's hand.
"YOU!" A sudden thunderous voice from above made Sakura yelp and Sasuke freeze. Naruko dropped the ball in her hand and letting go of piece of meat she was holding in her mini game of tug of war, thinking kurama who have one of his moods looked down at the fox who looked happy as he got the piece of meat from Naruko. "You disobeyed me." Dark, ominous clouds began to manifest in the once clear sky, thunder crashing, and lightning striking a nearby tree and setting it aflame. Amidst the roiling clouds a shape began to form, which morphed into the vague outline of Kakashi and his gravity defying hair. More features began to appear and sharpen until it resembled Kakashi's masked face. "Ninja who disobey orders are scum," the now identified Kakashi roared, his voice echoing all around. Waves of killing intent, much stronger than what he sent before, began radiating from its intense visage. "That means…"
"You pass!" As if it had never been there, the storm passed. The clouds went back to their peaceful white, the thunder and lightning ceased, and the inflamed tree was back to normal.
Kakashi stood before the Genin with a big eye smile and a peace sign.
"What?" Sakura squeaked.
"You pass." Kakashi repeated while looking at his students "I don't understand." Sasuke blurted out while Naruko stayed quiet while looking at kurama who was chasing his own tail. "Ninja who disobey orders are scums." Kakashi paused for emphasis. "But ninja who abandon their comrades are even worse than scums. You chose to help each other, and Sakura you chose to accept that help. That is why you pass."
Sakura cheered happily. Sasuke gave a smirk at Naruko. Naruko just smiled while picking up Kurama. "Well, that's for today." Making an eye-smirk Kakashi continued. "Tomorrow we'll start missions."
With that Naruko got up while holding a pouting Kurama and smiled "See you tomorrow, sensei." Naruto spoke up, her breathtakingly deep blue eyes shining gently. "Yeah, see ya." Sasuke waved his hand at his sensei. Waving her hand Naruto walked away, soon followed by Sasuke. Kakashi blinked. 'Hoh, what a surprise..' thought as he looked Naruko and sasuke walk away while not noticing Sakura murmured something like farewell before she quickly dismissed herself. She had to check her make-up and hair.
Naruko POV
I feel kurama chuckling when he saw Sasuke looked at the streaming water in front of him then back at me. As I was sitting comfortably on the rock.
Sasuke gulped before questioning. "Do you have any pointers Naruko?"
"hmmm, maybe few. Maintain a constant amount of chakra on your feet if you want to be able to walk on the water successfully. Unlike the tree, water is constantly moving. You'll have to account for that. "I said as remember what kurama told me when I was trying walk on water.
Sasuke nodded and tried it, only to fall straight into the water and jump out, wet and gasping.
I held back my giggles as I heard kurama laughing and saying. "He look like a rat who'd just escaped from the sewer." I looked back at Sasuke as he growled. "Don't laugh." he muttered. Nevertheless, he tried again…and again…and again.
Few mins later
"Hey Naruko, I think I got it." Sasuke said with smirk on his face.
I smiled as Sasuke who had indeed managed to stay standing upright on the water. I smiled and ran up to him and hugged "you did it Sasuke! That's amazing!" I said while I didn't noticed that Sasuke was blushing.
"Well that's for today. I'll see you tomorrow Sasuke."I said as picked up a sleeping kurama who fill asleep about 30 mins go. "ya see you tomorrow Naruko-chan." Sasuke said as he picked up his bag, and cocked his head towards his home. "kurama." I said as I looked at the Small fox in my arms. "Ya kit what's wrong". Asked as he looked up at me. "Do you think the council will try anything now knowing who my father and my mother is?" "I have no doubt kit and it seem like your right here comes anbu." Kurama said. And in that moment anbu wearing cat mask appeared in front of me and kurama. "My lady Namikaze, your need at the council meeting". said Cat, "Thank you cat I'll be there shortly". I said as Cat anbu nod her head left.
3rd POV
Sarutobi has been having one hell of a day since, Naruko announced her heritage, and the fact the Civilian Council Demanded a meeting this evening. He know started to reflect on why he took up the Hokage hat once again after retirement. "I'm getting too old shit." he whispered to himself as he had to listen to the complaints of the honorible Civilian Council but to him he just had to listen to them bitch and bitch about thing not being in their favor.
"Order! Order!" he announced but no one could listen, well maybe the Shinobi Council. "It seems that you're losing you're touch Jiji." said Naruko in a whisper to the old man as she was still holding kurama who wanted to bite off the heads of the Civilian Council. As she took a seat in the chair beside the Hokage meant for the Uzumaki/ Namikaze clan which was why the Civilian Council were in an up roar. "So tell me Jiji, is this a democracy or a Dictatorship?" Naruko said while Kurama yipped in an agreement while saying "do something you old fool." with her peace said, Sarutobi felt that his pride as both a shinobi and the hokage wounded, that was when he finally had no more of the insults from anyone he was the hokage damnit!
"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKING PIECES OF HOWLING MONKEY SHIT!" he roared while adding KI into his voice making every single Civilian quiet down. "good now that you all have finally shut your blasted traps we can finally start this meeting."
"Hokage-sama, It has come to our attention that the Dem- i mean Uzumaki,Namikaze-sama has come into some new prospects that could help the village." said Yoji of the reprehensive of the clothing market district. "Yes she has, but what she has gain, can only be used thanks to her bloodline she gain from her family." the old man had said while giving misinformation to the man. While Kurama was still growling at that this fools.
"Could you give us an example?" said Rika of the representive of the food market district.
"Only she could." he said as he turned to Naruko. "Naruko my dear would you please?" Sarutobi said as he looked at the girl who he sees as his granddaughter.
"sure thing Jiji, will everyone please meet at training ground 9." said Naruko as she got up while still holding a glowering fox who wanted to kill everyone in that room, and left the meeting room.
-training ground 9-
"Now listen up, I will not repeat myself. So if you miss anything I say it is your own damn fault." Naruko said as she walked to the open area while placing kurama down on the grass. "Now, I would like start off with the basics. I will start off with the simple stuff, so not to hurt your little minds with big words or lengthy explanations." Naruko said as most of the shinobi council stifled their laughter, at Hidden insult that Civilian Council members have took at as consideration on their part.
"Now I can use four out of the five elements without hand seals." Naruko said as she brought forth a ring of fire, wind, water, and earth. That seem to float around her. "As you can see this, is the basics of my bloodline this give me a high affinity for Water, fire, wind, and earth. Much like the Uchihas were they start off with a level one, two, and then finally the third level. The same could be said about my bloodline."
"I also gained Sub-elements, as a level two." "Like Sand manipulation abilities just like the One-Tail, Ichibi. Naruko said as sand form underneath her into a sand cloud and lifting her in the air. As Lava rose from the ground and became a Lava dragon. (Think how the water dragon looks like).I also have Lava Release and the Boil Release that's only seen in Iwa. I can also use ink basic attacks too." Narutko Said. This made the Civilians' eyes become filed with greed at the thought of her sub-elemental powers, or that fact she could destroy an enemy village into nothing more than a smoking creator. They even thought of breeding a new batch of shinobis with her power could bring Konoha as not just a strong nation... but the Leader of a world empire.
Naruko POV
"Now listen up I'll agree to the CRA along I get to choose will be my husband no if an's or buts about it." I said as sand cloud lowered me down as kurama jumped into my arms. "Well its been a long day for me I would like to go home." I said as I looked at Sarutobi how nodded his head I smiled as I left in yellow flash. I smiled as I got home but only to stop when I saw my summons animals where wait for me form what I could see some scrolls were wrapped around their legs. I smiled as Kurama turned into his human form and said he was going to make dinner. I sprung up and untied the letter from the fox's leg.
As I quickly opened it and read it.
Dear Uzumaki Namikaze Naruko,
My name is Gaara of the Sand, I am Jinchuuriki of the Ichibi, Shukaku.
I nodded to myself, seemed like the so-called bloodthirsty Gaara wasn't much of a talker, I didn't really care what others may say, they all had tough lives, Gaara must have had a terrible one.
I took the next one, and opened it.
Dear Uzumaki Namikaze Naruko,
My name is Fuu I'm the Jinchuuriki of the Shichibi! I'm happy that there is someone out there like me, and there are another 7? Woah, didn't see that coming! I'm from the Waterfall village, it's really... Wet? But that's to be expected. I live alone, in a treehouse that I made for myself, it's actually pretty nice.
Well, I hope you reply back!
From Fuu
Fuu sounds cheerful, but I know under that cheerfulness she was lonely, Fuu was younger than me, so obviously! I would definitely do something.
I smiled as I opened the third scroll.
Uzumaki Namikaze Naruko,
I am surprised you have contacted me, I am Yagura, Mizukage of the Mist village, Jinchuuriki of the Sanbi, but I'm supposing you already know of my status since you knew how to contact me and your dragon knew where to find me, my Mizukage office.
My village and I have a bad reputation, but that's mostly my fault, so don't be fooled when you hear stories of the bloody mist, my village are currently fighting against rebels who don't want me to rule them.
Perhaps you will write back, and maybe we could all meet, all 9 of us.
Yagura
Yagura definitely sounded... Formal? Yeah, formal, but he was a Kage, that comes with the job sometimes. He sounded alright, and that idea at the end didn't sound too bad, all 9 Jinchuuriki's meeting? It was a good idea.
I shook it off and read the last scroll.
To Uzumaki Namikaze Naruko,
My name is Utakata, I'm not sure how you found me, I'm a missing ninja, so I'm not in my village, maybe it was the tigers sense of smell? I'm not sure, but I'm glad.
I knew there were more of us, but didn't know who or where, I usually travel in bubbles so if you see someone above your village in a giant bubble wearing a blue kimono, it's me. I spend most of my time actually running away from Hunter-Nin's and ANBU, it's hard I guess, but I'm used to it.
I guess that's the end of this short letter, for now.
Thanks and I hope to hear from you soon.
Utakata
I smiled, this was a good start, most of the villages were far away and it took long for my summons to travel, so maybe that's why the other four didn't reply yet.
But I was definitely writing back. I smiled as I took out a pen and paper, and started writing.
