Chapter 45: Island turtle
Naruko after a days rest Hiraishin's everyone back to the leaf village where everyone but, team Kakashi go their separate ways to tend to their other duties. While, team Kakashi goes to the hokage office. Naruko knocks on the door receiving a brisk enter.
"So, how did the mission go?" the hokage asks
"It went well and we stopped Kabuto and a man named Disonasu from awakening the power of ama no hoko." Naruko says
"I see what happened to Kabuto and Disonasu?" the hokage asks
"I'm afraid that Kabuto managed to escape while Disonasu was killed." Yamato says
"I see is there anything to add?" the hokage asks
"Yes Kabuto is using Edo tensei as his personal army." Sakura says
"Damn it! My granduncle really made such a troublesome jutsu that anyone with a lack of morals would abuse." the hokage says with a sigh
"I wouldn't worry Baa-chan it seems he hasn't perfected it yet since he didn't have some of the heavy hitters that he would have access too." Naruko says
"That's a small comfort I suppose. Good work team you're dismissed except for Naruko." the hokage says as the team besides Naruko leave the office.
"What is it Baa-chan?" Naruko asks
"It's been decided by the kages that you and Fu are to be relocated to the island turtle of Kumo for safe keeping." the hokage says
"But, why we're plenty strong and our strength will be needed for the upcoming war." Naruko says
"I've pointed as much out to them but, they feel it's best to keep the remaining jinchuriki safe by isolating them on the island." the hokage says calmly
"You can't expect me to sit out the war hiding out on an island while my friends and family fight for the sake of the world!" Naruko says outraged
"I know but, that's what the kages have decided and I couldn't change their minds, so for now we'll go along with their decision." the hokage says firmly
"But what do you expect me and Fu to do while we're there." Naruko asks stunned
"Simple do what you do best and that is train until the alliance has no choice but to send you and Fu out." the hokage says with seriousness
"Fine but, this still sucks and is a bad decision and you know it." Naruko says with firmness
"Don't I know it but, it's the best we can do now go see your family and prepare to leave later today." the hokage says with a sigh
"Very well I'll follow your lead for now Baa-chan but, if things go south I'll enter the war regardless what the other kages think." Naruko says with seriousness as she makes her way out of the hokage office.
"That's what I'm counting on." the hokage says to herself. As she selects shinobi who will be going on the trip along with Naruko. Later on that day Naruko and Fu along with Yamato and several other shinobi head for the coast of the land of fire to set off to sea. Two weeks into their journey they finally arrive at the island turtle having picked up some kumo nin at their last stop to guide them. When they are about to arrive they're attacked by a giant squid. But, it is attacked by the Hachibi.
"Yo you see can't beat me the hachibi Killer bee ya dig." Killer Bee says to the squid as it's sent flying. Bee then lands on the deck to introduce himself.
"I'm me the Hachibi Killer Bee. It's a pleasure you see." Killer Bee says with a rap
"I'm Fu. It's a pleasure to meet you ssu." Fu says trying to rap
"I'm Naruko you know you see Killer Bee." Naruko says trying rap
"Call me Bee ya fool." Killer Bee says
"We've been sent here and hope to get some training in can you help us?" Naruko asks
"Sure you see that me killer Bee has tamed the Hachibi." Bee says
"Do you think you can teach us how to tame our Tailed beasts?" Fu says
"We'll see as it's not easy peezy you see." Bee says
"Good when can we start." Naruko asks
"Right away if you follow me." Bee says as he escorts them and the konoha nin to some to a waterfall.
"What's this place?" Fu asks
"The falls of truth you sit and meditate and you'll see your real self." Bee says not rapping as Fu takes a seat on a spot of ground next to the waterfall and meditates.
"We'll look at who we have here." a voice says inside Fu's subconscious
"Who's there!?" Fu asks as she looks around.
"It's me the real you." a Fu with dark eyes says
"You can't be I'm the real Fu." Fu says surprised at her double
"You're a fake, a mask to hide the pain of being a jinchuriki." the dark Fu says
"What do you mean?" Fu says confused
"You know what I mean deep down you resented the people around you especially Taki those that feared and threatened you. That's why you kept getting in trouble to spite them for neglecting you." the dark Fu says with a smirk
"That's not true I just wanted to have fun and make friends like I have now." Fu says nervously
"Please, the only reason you pursued friends is because that fool Shibuki wanted you to have ties to the village so, you wouldn't run off." the dark Fu sneers
"That's not true I wanted to have friends of my own to play with." Fu says solemnly
"Yeah now you're part of a harem with Naruko's other bitches that she keeps around to repopulate her clan." dark Fu says angrily
"They're not bitches they're my friends!" Fu shouts back
"Please they're nothing more than competition for Naruko's affections and she'll let you go as soon as akatsuki is dealt with and leave you back in taki alone without anyone to call a friend." dark Fu says confidently
"You're right they may be competition but, what friends aren't when you seek the attention of someone you love." Fu says with resignation
"You see, even you admit it." dark Fu says
"I know I may have to return to taki someday but, that means my time with them and Naruko is even more precious and I don't want a chance to miss any of it." Fu says with a sigh
"What?" dark Fu says puzzled
"As for her using us to repopulate the clan I wouldn't mind having a child with Naruko after seeing the happy faces of her children I can't help but desire one for myself." Fu says with a smile
"You'll be just another baby factory whore for that woman!" dark Fu says enraged
"We're not baby factories, we are her family and do what all families do. They grow and I look forward to the day she gives me a child and am another proud mother of the clan." Fu says smiling
"You'll be just one of many just as your child will be!" dark Fu says as she lunges at Fu who takes her in an embrace.
"I know but, that makes my fellow mothers my sister's and my child will have many older brothers and sisters to play with like we always have wanted when we were young and besides it means I'll have plenty of nieces and nephews to spoil something we ourselves always wanted." Fu says happily as dark Fu starts to fade
"We'll never be alone." dark Fu says faintly
"Yes our family will be together forever." Fu says with joy as dark Fu disappears and Fu awakes and gets up from where she is sitting and goes to Naruko and gives her a soul searing kiss.
"What was that for?" Naruko asks confused
"That is for giving me a clan and someday a family." Fu says with joy
"You did it without even needing me." Bee says pleased
"I guess it's my turn." Naruko says as she heads to sit where Fu once did and Meditates.
"Well you've finally come." a voice says in the void of her mind
"Who are you?" Naruko asks
"I'm the real you." a dark Naruko says with black eyes.
"So, you're my inner self." Naruko says in thought
"No I'm the real you not you the fake that's the village lap dog." dark naruko says angrily
"What do you mean?" Naruko asks
"It's simple you do everything for the village including forgiveness for something that shouldn't be forgiven." dark Naruko says with rage
"What I do for the village is out of love and for the sake moving forward." Naruko says with firmness
"Really is it necessary that you knock up and tame those Kunoichi you call family or was it because you wanted a family you could control." dark Naruko says with a smirk
"I did that for the red tide project for Menma's sake and so, we wouldn't be alone." Naruko says on edge.
"For Menma's sake or really for your own you were afraid of him taking over if you didn't work towards his goal of reviving the clan." dark Naruko snorts
"It's true I feared him my own brother because of his strength, but it doesn't mean I didn't take pride in what I was doing." Naruko says frustrated
"Pride in raping a bunch of women and knocking some of them up just like what was done to you." dark Naruko says flippantly
"I gave them a bond with me that I've cherished and one they've come to cherish as well." Naruko says nervously
"Please without your smoke they wouldn't have even bothered with you." dark Naruko says flippantly
"Maybe not before but, they have stuck with me in spite of everything that's happened and that wasn't my doing." Naruko says with sigh
"And what if they do decide to leave will you give them up or decide to control them some more." dark Naruko says with a smirk
"I would honestly let them go because a bond kept through force is nothing more than enslavement something despite how things started out with them I refuse to do." Naruko says firmly
"What of the women you knocked up certainly had other options than you and yet you stole their choice." dark Naruko says with disgust
"They would be capable of leaving me for someone else even with a baby if they were loved by someone else enough." Naruko says with confidence
"It still doesn't change the fact all of this is so, you wouldn't be alone like Naruto something you were terrified by the mere thought of." dark Naruko shouts
"True I'm afraid of being alone but, who in their right mind wouldn't be and I took steps to mitigate that by using my smoke to seduce Kunoichi." Naruko says with a shrug
"We wouldn't have to be afraid of being alone if the damn village had a shred of humanity." dark Naruko rages
"We wouldn't be afraid if we embraced the village like we should have in the beginning when our secret was safe." Naruko says calmly
"The secret of our jinchuriki status hanging over our heads guaranteed that we would always live in fear of being discovered and be treated like Naruto again." dark Naruko says frustrated
"We shouldn't have feared an eventuality and should have strove to prove ourselves so, when the truth came out that we had established ourselves in the village." Naruko says
"Established ourselves in a village that tortured Naruto to death." dark Naruko says through clenched teeth
"The village was controlled by anger and fear they weren't themselves." Naruko says sadly
"It doesn't excuse their actions as you have done!" dark Naruko screams
"It doesn't change what they've done and they have suffered for their actions thanks to Menma." Naruko says with resignation
"They still haven't paid for what they did to us. They murdered our babies, raped and experimented on us, and to top it off stole our son!" dark Naruko screams with tears in her eyes
"The ones responsible for that are dead from the second kyuubi attack and Danzo is dead he'll never steal or harm another innocent." Naruko says with sternness
"What's to stop the village from acting against our clan just like they did Naruto and us!" dark Naruko shouts out
"We will if they threaten our family then, I will act but, I won't let our fear dictate our actions as it did with Menma." Naruko says firmly
"We won't always be around to protect them." dark Naruko says as she charges Naruko but, Naruko catches her in a hug.
"That's true, that's why we need to embrace and become part of the village, so that if they try they will only hurt themselves." Naruko says as she hugs dark Naruko as she begins to fade.
"But, who in the village can we trust to stand by them." dark Naruko says weakly
"Simple our friends that we have made through hard work and effort." Naruko says as dark Naruko disappears. Naruko leaves her mind and appears among the falls of truth once more.
"You did it." Bee says
"Yep" Naruko says
"Good, let's move on." Bee says as he walks underneath the waterfall followed by Fu, Naruko and Yamato. They enter to find a temple inside that is huge. They walk past some broken statues to the entrance of the temple and step inside where it's all white.
"Now we confront the tailed beasts one on one." Bee says as Naruko and Fu sit down
"Now who'll be first." Bee asks
"I guess I'll go first." Fu says
"Be careful Fu and remember I'm here for you." Naruko says as she gives Fu a fist bump along with Bee. As Fu enters the seal she sees the insect jar that contains Nanabi.
"This is it there's no turning back." Fu says as looks at Nanabi
"What're you doing Fu?" Nanabi asks
"I'm releasing you Nanabi." Fu says
"So, you've decided to try and tame me." Nanabi says
"Yes hopefully if I succeed we can become friends." Fu says
"Friends?" Nanabi says
"Yes friends everyone needs one and to be your friend I need to prove myself by defeating you." Fu says
"You think you're ready to face me Fu?" Nanabi asks
"I won't know till I try." Fu says as she begins turning the seal as it slowly opens
"Then let us begin shall we." Nanabi says as he charges out of the gate and flies over Fu's head. Fu jumps away with wings on her back. She then attacks with wind release: wind cutter slicing the air toward the Nanabi but, Nanabi counter with wind release: drilling air bullets sending them flying at Fu who barely dodges them. Fu forms her thunder release: thunder armor and flies straight toward the Nanabi who tries to sweep her away with its legs but, they can't hit Fu who is moving too swiftly and quickly. Fu makes quick swipes and chops against the Nanabi exoskeleton forming cracks but otherwise doesn't do any permanent damage. Fu is suddenly swiped to the ground by Nanabi's seventh tail. Fu is dazed from the blow and is slow to get up as Nanabi fires a tailed beast ball. But it's caught by a hand in the form of the hachibi that catches it and absorbs the blast. Fu clears her barings and flies up toward Nanabi holding thunder release: Sonic orb that she aims for Nanabi face. It hits causing some severe cracks in the faceplate of Nanabi. Nanabi knocks her back down with her horn sending her flying towards the ground as Nanabi swipes its seventh tail at Fu with its tail coated in thunder release chakra and is about to hit her when a wooden hand appears from the ground and takes the blow slowing down for Fu to dodge and get up. Fu gets up and flies toward Nanabi with thunder release: twin sonic orbs that strike at Nanabi's abdomen causing severe cracks in it's armor but its legs grab her and flick her towards the ground as the legs begin flicking gust's of slicing wind down at her. Fu flies through the swipes receiving many cuts but, she put her chakra into one last attack and forms thunder release around her arm extend with her fingers extended and flies toward the cracked armor of Nanabi's abdomen and uses thunder release: thunder splitter and pierces through nanabi's abdomen and pierces through its back and it begins to fall towards the ground. Fu quickly descends and grabs onto Nanabi's form and begins to pull it's chakra out but Nanabi though wounded resists and a tug of war begins between it and Fu. Just as Fu is about to lose the tug of war Chakra chains shoot out of the ground and bind the Nanabi to the ground.
"How are you doing this?!" Nanabi asks
"It's simple, it's my friends that are here to help me." Fu says as she manages to pull out chakra from Nanabi. Fu begins to glow and takes on a yellow shroud. Nanabi begins to break free from the chains but, Fu begins to close the seal locking Nanabi up once again.
"You did well Fu you've earned my chakra and the right to know my name it's Chomei." Nanabi says
"Thank you Chomei. I hope we can be friends in the future. I promise I won't let anyone take you." Fu says kindly as she exits the seal to see Naruko and Bee.
"You've done it." Bee says with a smirk
"Awesome Fu I knew you could do it." Naruko says happily
"It's thanks to both of you and your help." Fu says cheerfully
"I guess it's my turn." Naruko says as she bumps fists with Bee and Fu. Naruko enters her seal and spots the Kyuubi sitting waiting for the seal to fail.
"So you've come where's the real you?" Kyuubi asks
"I'm right here and I've come to face you." Naruko says calmly
"You think you're strong enough to face me at full power." Kyuubi says
"I'm not sure but, we're going to find out." Naruko says as she lifts up her shirt and begins to turn the key to the seal. As the seal begins to open the kyuubi waits for the moment the lock is completely open before it slams the doors open and lets out a mighty roar. Naruko is flung back even in sage mode. The kyuubi then charges a tailed beast ball and fires it. As it heads straight toward Naruko a fist of the hachibi catches it and absorbs the blast. Naruko then performs the hand signs for wood release: wood dragon jutsu and launches it at kyuubi wrapping around it. Kyuubi struggles and manages to break free just as Naruko forms the hand signs for wood release: wood human jutsu. The wooden giant appears with Naruko standing on its head and begins to form a super ultra big ball rasengan in the hand of the wooden giant and charges the Kyuubi who blocks it with its tails. When the rasengan fades the wood human is pushed back by the tails and the kyuubi begins to form a tailed beast ball and fires it at the wood human but, the wood human catches it and pushes it back against kyuubi who crosses its arms to block the tailed beast ball as it explodes as the smoke clears the kyuubi launches it's tails at the wood human and swats the wood human down and begins firing several tailed beast balls at the wood human heavily damaging it. The damaged wood human gets up slowly and extends a hand and launches adamantine sealing chains at kyuubi pining it to the ground as a wood dragon forms around the wood human and opens its mouth to spew out a wooden bokken. The wood bokken covered in wind chakra is swiped at the Kyuubi but, the kyuubi fires a tailed beast ball quickly at the wood human's hand blowing it up causing the bokken to fly into the air but, the other hand catches it and brings the tip down at the Kyuubi impaling it in the stomach causing the kyuubi to cough up blood. The kyuubi fires a beam of chakra slicing through the bokken and hitting the wood human through the chest leaving a hole. The kyuubi manages to break the chains holding it and pulls itself off the bokken's broken tip to stand again and lunges at the wood human. The wood human throws a punch to kyuubi's face sending it flying back as the kyuubi wraps its tails around the extended arm and pulls when it lands with its tails causing the wood human to fall forward. The kyuubi fires a tailed beast ball at the head where Naruko is and the ball hits an insect shell encasing the head of the wood human taking the blast. The wood human gets up and launches chakra chains at the kyuubi entangling them with its tails and pulls causing the kyuubi to fly toward the open hand and grabs kyuubi around the throat. The kyuubi claws and lashes out against the wood human but, the wood dragon moves and binds its wrists and uses its weight to pull the kyuubi's arms down. Naruko runs down the damaged arm of the wood human and forms a super ultra big ball rasengan that she launches into the open wound on kyuubi's stomach and drives it in. The spiralling wound leaves a deep gash that shreds the kyuubi's fur off and leaves a mark against the skin with blood dripping from the exposed wound. Kyuubi manages to snap the chains off it's tails and swipes them with wind chakra against the wood dragon shattering it. With its arms free it channels wind chakra into its claws and shatters the hand that holds it by the neck. With it free it fires a tailed beast ball at point blank range blowing off the top half of the wood human jutsu causing its lower half to fall to the ground. The kyuubi lets out a mighty roar.
"Is this the best you can do Naruko? I'm not impressed!" the kyuubi shouts as Naruko takes cover behind the remains of the wood human. She catches her breath when she turns to her side to see someone.
"Menma?! What're you doing here in case you haven't noticed? I'm fighting the kyuubi and losing." Naruko says
"I know but, I came to offer my assistance just this once so, you can show this furball the power of the uzumaki clan." Menma says with a grin
"Alright you got a plan because, honestly I'm running out of ideas." Naruko says exhausted
"Of course, but you're going to have to give it your all." Menma says firmly
"Have I never been able to hold back." Naruko says with a smile
"I just didn't want you starting now." Menma says with a smirk
"I'll trust in your strength then." Naruko says
"No it's our strength now get going." Menma says as he stays behind as Naruko forms shadow clones while the real one launches chakra chains at kyuubi's feet pulling them out from under him as the shadow clones form Ultra big ball rasengan's that pound him continuously sending him flying back. As the kyuubi tries to right itself it sees Naruko flying at it. The Kyuubi fires a tailed beast ball at her but, it's blocked by the armor of susanoo shocking kyuubi. The kyuubi arms are restrained and pulled back towards the ground by chakra chains from the shadow clones. As it begins to fall back Naruko begins to fall towards it as she does behind her Menma begins channeling chakra into Naruko's hand as she forms a sage art: supreme ultimate spiralling ring rasengan. The kyuubi gets to its feet but, its arms are still bound to its sides by chains so, it launches it's tails at Naruko who leaps from one to another and begins to spin in the air as the kyuubi fires a tailed beast ball at her at point blank range but, the jutsu is simply blasted through by the sage art: supreme ultimate spiralling ring rasengan and makes it way to Kyuubi's chest as it slowly begins to burrow into its chest and explodes blowing a hole the size of its fist through kyuubi's chest and out the back Naruko flies through it turns toward kyuubi who is shaking and breaks the chains holding its arms to reach for its chest where the hole is. The kyuubi slowly turns its head to Naruko and falls onto his back as Naruko grabs one of its tails and begins to pull on kyuubi's chakra and manages to extract it. Causing Naruko to have a yellow shroud of chakra surround her. The kyuubi gets up and is enraged.
"Damn it Naruko you've gone and made me angry you will pay for what you've done to me I swear it." Kyuubi shouts as it begins to form an ultra big tailed beast ball.
"You're really something else to take all that damage and have your chakra extracted and still be able to do this much. You truly are impressive kyuubi but this victory goes to me." Naruko says calmly as she locks the seal that has become the torii seal. The seal stops the kyuubi from firing the ultra big tailed beast ball and pins him with torii gates and the seal locks itself.
"I won't forget this Naruko" the kyuubi says as the gate seals and closes and the kyuubi goes to sleep.
"Don't worry Kyuubi I won't treat you badly." Naruko says as she exits the seal and awakens to see Fu and Bee.
"Good job you overcame the kyuubi." Bee says
"You're amazing Naruko!" Fu says joyful
"Let's see what you can do." Bee says as Naruko activates her nine tails chakra mode.
"I sense something coming from your sword Bee" Naruko says pointing at Samehada.
"Now that you mention it I sense something too." Fu says
"I can't believe we didn't notice." Bee says as the sword jumps from his back to reveal Kisame.
"I guess you gained new sensory powers." Kisame says as he backs away
"I can sense negative emotions." Naruko says
"As much as I would like to stick around 3 jinchuriki is a little much for me, so I'll be going." Kisame says as he opens the door to the exit and escapes with Bee in hot pursuit. Bee meets Guy outside the waterfall and throws him in the direction of Kisame who is heading for the shore. When Guy arrives he attacks Kisame that summons sharks to take the information he gathered to akatsuki. Guy opens six of the eight inner gates and attacks with morning peacock that punches the sharks. He opens another gate to attack Kisame with afternoon tiger. The blast stops kisame's water release: great water shark bullet jutsu and hits him dead on knocking him out. Guy captures Kisame and takes him back to the waterfall where Aoba tries to read his mind but Kisame wakes himself up by biting his tongue off and summons sharks along with the water prison jutsu from a scroll, so that he is devoured by sharks ending his life. Meanwhile, Madara receives the information that Kisame acquired and makes his plans for the war.
