Chapter 6: Graduation

Flashback: 3 years ago

Day 15 of Capture

"I'm so...so...Cold" Naruto stutters as he has been placed in a large ice box and shackled inside.

"Well since electricity doesn't work we've moved onto freezing the temperature is -32F and the water is at his waist is even colder. Let's leave him for a few weeks and see if he still lives." Mayuri says with a grin

"Please someone...help me...help me...help" Naruto sobs

Back in the present:

Naruko is waking up from another flashback and is surrounded by a sleeping Ino and Sakura. She gently gets out of bed and prepares breakfast for her girls. Who wake up to the smell of breakfast they jump up from the covers naked and head to the breakfast table where they begin to eat. Naruko grins since, the food is surprisingly good expecting a loner to only know basic cooking.

"Wow this is great it's almost orgasmic" Sakura says

"She is right you know how you got so, good at cooking." Ino asks

Naruko shrugs and says "No idea maybe I have it in my genes you never know"

Naruko sits down in her birthday suit and eats along with the rest of the girls.

When they finish eating they get dressed and go their separate ways as it has been two weeks since they last saw each other. Visiting in the daytime was so annoying since the hyuuga always had eyes on her when she ever came by. This time it was just a social visit to see Hinata who had warmed up to her in the past few weeks and they spent their spare time together along with Sakura and Ino. She requested that Hinata teach her the gentle fist since with her pression of acupuncture she might be able to learn it to disable opponents limbs even if she couldn't use it on tenketsu points to still be able to use it at pressure points on the body. Hinata happily accepted the offer in return she would be taught in the medical knowledge that she possessed which, she intended to pass onto Ino and Sakura as well. The training was hard on Naruko since, her chakra control really sucked but, that is where the hokage came in and taught her tree climbing and water walking without too much complaint which, considering how he used to not play favorites with anyone came as a surprise but, she read him pretty easily and figured that they had finished the investigation into her origins. She could also, sense waves of guilt rolling off of him but, knowing that confronting him about it would only make him sadder so decided to let the status quo remain. She eventually asked to see the scroll of seals which, he only allowed provided she didn't look at the kinjutsu section of it. There she found what she was looking for the exploding clone jutsu and shuriken shadow clone technique. That she could add to her repertoire of fighting skills now she needed some elemental jutsu but, would hold off on that until she could get some chakra paper. Besides she still needed to master that damn clone jutsu so, decided to splurge on clones and summon 200 of them to find a place to train on getting the clone jutsu right. Meanwhile, the real her went back to the Jutsu library to look up on more seals since they have been coming in handy as of late.

3 months pass and Naruko a prodigy when it comes to seals having finished reading the last one in the library. So, she turned to the forbidden art of juinjutsu in order to come to a mastery of that field as well. Sadly she still hadn't gotten chakra control strong enough in order to perform the clone jutsu but, that was to be expected but, she continued to send out 200 clones to try and perform the stupid jutsu anyways. Fortunately the girls have picked up on their medical knowledge and are trying to prepare to become medic-nin. Which makes her proud of them for having found a path in their pre-shinobi careers. Meanwhile, Naruko got a piece of elemental chakra paper and was surprised that it crumbled and became soggy. Which, showed that at least one of the experiments they did on her managed to become a success. So, she got to work mastering earth release first that required training in how to split the earth using chakra using 100 shadow clones to train in it. As she continued to study juinjutsu which took up most of her time when not out at night stealing peoples expensive shit. After about 3 months she was ready to take the next step which, compacted a pile of dirt in one's hand into a rock using the same routine of a 100 clones that took up time for the next 3 months when she could finally use some Jutsu and of course she start with the earth clone and snagged several d-rank jutsu and a handful of c-rank jutsu for earth release. That was how her year played out and she could have passed a year early but, she wanted to pass with her lovers in the same year. So, she started the new year with trying to master water release starting spinning water in a cup without spilling a drop. She of course used 100 shadow clones to do this while, she sent 200 clones to learn that clone jutsu. In 3 months she mastered the first step of water manipulation and moved onto the second step generating water within the stomach using 100 clones and 3 months time she mastered that as well as picking up several c-rank jutsu. She also finished the juinjutsu instructions in the jutsu library and was ready to graduate.

The time for graduation had come as the shinobi hopefuls lined up to take their tests which consisted of transformation, clone, and body replacement. The group of 30 all passed including Naruko who manages to make a regular clone after so much effort. As everyone was celebrating with their parents Naruko sat at the swing set enjoying the cheerful faces of her fellow graduates. Sensing a sinister intent she turns to find Mizuki.

"Hey Mizuki-sensei how are you doing?" Naruko asks innocently

"Just fine Naruko-chan i'm just wondering if you heard of the special test that could get you promoted to chunin." Mizuki says smiling

"Really sensei! What do I have to do?" Naruko asks cheerfully

"All you have to do is steal the scroll of seals and learn a jutsu from it that's all and I'll meet you at a designated location." Mizuki says happily

"Alright Mizuki-sensei your on!" Naruko says

Naruko goes straight to the hokage about Mizuki and just as she suspected it was a ruse to steal the scroll. But, she planned to follow through with it with Hokage's permission.

She takes the scroll and heads to where Mizuki directed her with an hour to spare. She starts copying down the kinjutsu on the scroll for later study at her Leisure. After an hour passes Iruka arrives so she decides to play dumb.

"Hey Iruka-sensei did i pass the test or what or should we wait for Mizuki." Naruko states

"What test Naruko I have no idea what you're talking about." Iruka says until he realizes the truth about Mizuki too late as he arrives.

"Run Naruko it's a trap!" Iruka shouts just as Mizuki kicks him away

"Naruko hand over the scroll right now!" Mizuki states

"Sorry no can do Mizuki this isn't for you." Naruko replies and performs the shadow clone jutsu to fill the area with Naruko's that prepare to beat Mizuki senseless.

Once the clones dispel a badly beaten Mizuki is lying in a pool of his own blood so, Iruka ties him up and carries him back to the hokage tower followed closely behind by Naruko who is grinning happily. When they arrive at the tower Ibiki takes Mizuki with him as Naruko returns the scroll to the hokage.

"Well jiji everything worked as planned even though I didn't count on Iruka showing up but, whatever."

"You did well for your first b-rank mission and I will see that you are paid accordingly" Sarutobi says

"Thanks jiji i really appreciate it." Naruko says

"With that you both are dismissed oh and Naruko try to remember tomorrow is the day you meet your sensei so don't be late" Sarutobi says

"Alright Jiji I can't wait!" Naruko says merrily
