A freak accident during the 5 point seal of Orochimaru had an unexpected result. Instead of one Naruto there are now two; one male and one female. The girl was forced to change her name to Narumi. The boy remained as Naruto but something is off about him
Secrets Revealed
Sakura was scared as she and the red headed Narumi were escorted into the Hokage's office. This was something she had not expected only a short time before when the girl had run into her on the street near the Academy. Seeing the Hokage was a major issue. In the mission hall, it was considered somewhat normal to see the man a few times a week as he would help assign genin to D-rank missions.
However, being taken into his office for an issue was something else entirely. Echoes of Morino Ibiki's warnings about S-class secrets and the penalties for breaking silence on them sounded in her mind. She gulped as the door opened and the light from the window behind the Hokage seemed to be brighter than normal.
She blinked as her eyes adjusted. Even her limited security knowledge made her realize that the large window behind the Hokage was a security measure as well. The darker hall and waiting room caused the eyes to adjust and any ninja who entered the Hokage's office would be partially blinded by the light on the room. That split second would allow the Hokage and his bodyguards to react to a threat.
She was pulled from her thoughts as she focused on the village leader when he smiled at the two girls before him.
"Ah, Narumi and Haruno Sakura isn't it?" the aged man asked casually.
"Yes Hokage-sama," Sakura said with a polite bow. She figured if she was in trouble, a bit of courtesy would not hurt her any.
Narumi just stood quietly. She was still shocked and nervous from the past half hour. She couldn't understand her own actions. Those boys had beaten up Naruto a couple of years prior and he, now she, was still afraid of them. Without some other person involved to make her overcome her fear, Narumi just reacted to that fear. Her shyness over her new body was still evident and that made things worse. The boys had taken her fear and shyness as compliance to their wants.
The part of her that was still thinking like a boy had expected a fight, not the near molestation that had followed. It took the boy trying for a kiss to make her react. Then, as she ran, the shame and fear compounded with something else she had felt, excitement. Narumi's body had reacted to the incident in a way her mind could not and would not accept yet.
Finally, running into Sakura had been the final straw to break her spirit. Memories of an enraged Sakura poured into her thoughts as Narumi had stared deep into the green eyes of the girl he had crushed on since before the Academy days. The beat down she thought was coming on top of everything else left her a cowering mess in the street.
The anger in Sakura's eyes when the pink haired girl asked Narumi her name still burned into her mind. The desire to fob the whole thing off and grin was still strong but now it seemed just the wrong thing to do. So Narumi had cowered once more under the glare.
A man clearing his throat startled Narumi from her introspection. She looked up to see the Hokage and Sakura both staring at her with concern.
"Narumi, are you all right?" Sarutobi asked.
"I … I don't know," Narumi whispered.
"What happened?" the leader asked.
Narumi just started spilling out the events that brought the pair of girls to the Hokage's office; the practice, the boys, the assault, Narumi fleeing and running over Sakura, that whole mess between the girls and being brought there.
For her part, Sakura blushed and felt ashamed as she heard how she seemed through the eyes of another person. It confused her. She could see now that this girl was in fact truly a girl. But somehow, she was certain from looking into the red head's eyes that she was also Naruto.
"Sorry, Naruto," Sakura said in a low voice. "Have I been that terrible to you?"
"My name is Narumi," the red head said as she looked down, a tear sliding out of her eye. "He is Naruto," she finished in a voice Sakura could barely hear.
The Hokage listened carefully and gave a quick order to Cat. The ANBU left to carry out the commands.
"Sakura, you need to understand something. You saw the event happen. So did Sasuke and the person who caused this. Narumi and Naruto are two separate people. Naruto can get along fine since nothing about him has changed. Narumi is a special case. She is essentially a babe in the woods if you pardon the pun. She has only a few weeks of experience at being a girl and everything she comes across is new to her as a girl," the Hokage said.
"You mean it's not some kind transformation?" Sakura pressed.
"In the same sense of a henge; no it's not. Both whatever was done to her has made her a female," Sarutobi said close to amusement as he saw various expressions cross over Sakura's face as the girl worked through the information.
"Even, down there?" she asked.
The Hokage chuckled at another look on the pink haired girl's face.
"Even there and everything that it entails each month I am told," Sarutobi said with a finality that said he was familiar with such things occurring. After all, he had been married for over 30 years before his wife was killed.
Sakura nodded. She understood now. Narumi was not being a pervert. But something else the Hokage said made her look up at him.
"But Naruto is different, Hokage-sama. I can't explain it precisely but he is different than he had been before. His skills seem better. He is using his head and helped us figure out the whole Tora thing. His whole attitude is different now as well. He is, oh I don't know, just not like acting like Naruto anymore," Sakura huffed in frustration at being unable to express her thoughts clearly to her leader.
Sarutobi listened to the teen and thought for a minute before he replied.
"Would you say Naruto now is more masculine than he had been? Angrier, kind of hostile perhaps?"
Sakura frowned. "Well, I never thought of Naruto as being masculine but maybe. I guess you could put it that way. He has been kind of rude and confrontational since coming back. A little intimidating even."
Sarutobi nodded as he continued to think.
"And what would be your take on Narumi? Is she anything like the Naruto you remember?" he asked.
Sakura looked at the red head. "Well, she seems kind of tentative, sort of shy. Naruto would have stood up to the bullies but she ran. I guess some reason for that could be just being a girl but still."
"So both would be almost Naruto but not quite right?" the Hokage asked in a firm voice.
Sakura pondered for a moment before nodding. "From what I have seen, yes Hokage-sama."
Before anything else could happen, Tsunade arrived and went up to Narumi and started a medical scan.
"Are you okay? The ANBU told me you got assaulted," the buxom blonde said as she ran a glowing hand over Narumi.
"I'm fine, "Narumi said a bit confused by all the talk about her as well as Tsunade's excessive concern.
"I am so going to hurt those boys when I get a hold of them," Tsunade growled.
Sakura was amazed at seeing one of her heroes standing there fussing over Narumi. She just stood quietly until Tsunade noticed her there.
"And who are you?" Tsunade asked with an angry tone in her voice.
"Haruno Sakura, Tsunade-sama," Sakura replied with a bow.
"That name sounds familiar," Tsunade said.
"I am on Team 7 with Naruto. I was there in the forest during the, um, incident," Sakura supplied in a careful voice.
"You seem to be near a lot of incidents. I guess your luck is as good as mine," Tsunade said with a snort.
Sarutobi cleared his throat to get the attention of everyone else.
"Sakura, you must know that all of this falls under the S-class ranking along with the rest of the incident. As far as anyone will be told, Narumi returned to Konoha with Tsunade and is Naruto's twin sister. Do not fail in your charge to keep the exact details a secret."
"I understand Hokage-sama," she replied.
"Good, now why don't you take Narumi for some ice cream, my treat. I need to talk to Tsunade for a little while," the aged leader said as he held out some money.
The pink haired girl knew the Hokage wanted her and Narumi out of the way so she took the money, grabbed Narumi and hustled out over the sound of the redhead's complaints. No matter what, ice cream on someone else's money was the best ice cream of all.
"Sakura knows all about Naruto and Narumi, Tsunade," Sarutobi said bluntly.
"Sensei?" Tsunade said confused.
"Sakura is a bright girl, Tsunade. She was top kunoichi of her class mainly due to her intelligence. I felt it would be better to tell her the entire truth rather than merely give her pieces and let her make the wrong connections," Sarutobi said as he lit his pipe and leaned back.
Tsunade frowned at the pipe but said nothing. Her sensei was nearly 70 years old now. She would not begrudge him his pleasures at the hope he might live an extra day or two at this point.
"But, Sakura has helped enlighten me on a few points we did not know. The girl has known Naruto for a couple of years now and been on his team for the past six months. She was there when the attack in the Forest of Death happened and watched the event take place. She has met both Naruto and Narumi now and she told me just before you arrived that neither one seems quite 'right' as far as being the original Naruto. This has me worried. I now think this is something more than merely a split into two bodies."
"I believe the split is much deeper than that. Yin and Yang is the only thought to come to mind," the Hokage finished and let Tsunade think.
"So, Narumi would be the Yin part of the original and Naruto would be the Yang portion?" she supplied.
"Yes, I am thinking that. What Sakura told me is making me believe that. Before this all happened, Naruto had a tendency to hide his feelings from everyone and present a fake smile whenever he was hurting. So, people tended to stop seeing the real boy. But this split has changed everything. Sakura has confirmed a few other items I suspected and they all fit my hypothesis."
"Naruto, the Yang is acting out in a more direct fashion. He is not hiding his frustration or anger any longer. I have reports from ANBU that he has been making problems for a few people but nothing that could get him in trouble. He is all drive and little restraint."
"Now Narumi, on the other hand would be the Yin. She has Naruto's gentleness and overall character but little of the drive that made Naruto who he was. This latest incident has put a spotlight on her mental changes. Before this, Naruto would have stood up to the bullies and fought. But Narumi fled. That is a major change. A good portion of it could be the shock of having a gender change but it is something we need to watch."
"If she needs watching, why did you just send her out for ice cream?" Tsunade queried.
"She also needs some friends that are not her caretakers. The Haruno girl might not be the best choice considering how she treated Naruto in the past but she will get Narumi reintroduced to the other kunoichi her age. Narumi will end up working with them eventually."
Narumi just followed along as she was dragged out of the Tower by Sakura. A few minutes later, Sakura turned into a shop Naruto had never been allowed into before. Narumi pulled up short and stood in the doorway as the pink haired girl looked at her strangely.
"You act like you have never been in an ice cream shop before," Sakura said.
"I haven't," Narumi said in a voice that could rival Hinata for timidity.
Sakura frowned as the clerk wiping tables looked to the girls. "Come in, we have a special on sundaes today," he said warmly.
Narumi stepped further into the shop warily. She was waiting for the owner to call her 'Naruto' and tell her that she was not welcome.
The clerk smiled as Sakura pulled Narumi up to the counter.
"I've never seen you in here before." the girl behind the counter said with a smile.
"She's new," Sakura said grinning. The Hokage had given enough money to buy them both deluxe sundaes.
"Well then, welcome. What would you like today?" the girl asked.
Narumi was at a loss at what to order. Sakura noted her confusion and spoke up.
"Give us both a Super Deluxe Triple Scoop Sundae. Um, Moose Tracks, Chocolate Chocolate Chip and Rocky Road with hot caramel and the works."
The girl just nodded and started scooping out the ice cream. Narumi looked wide eyed when the sundaes were placed for them to take. Sakura grabbed one and gestured for Narumi to grab the other. The pink haired girl led the red haired one to a corner table.
Sakura dug into her ice cream while Narumi just sat and stared at the bowl and back to Sakura.
"So I just eat it?" she asked Sakura.
"Duh, yes you just eat it. What, you've never had ice cream before or something?" Sakura said with a smirk that quickly faded as Narumi shook her head.
"No, I haven't. They never let me in here before and this is the only place in town selling it," came a low reply.
Sakura paused for a second before smiling at Narumi.
"Well, you're here now and under Hokage's order so eat up," she said with fake cheer.
Nodding slowly, Narumi took a small spoonful and tasted it. The cold and sweetness of the ice cream were almost magical on her tongue. Before Sakura could stop her, the redhead was inhaling the ice cream like it was ramen.
"Careful," Sakura chided. "If you eat too fast you're going to get…"
Narumi suddenly winced in pain and grabbed the bridge of her nose.
"Brain freeze," Sakura finished as she arched an eyebrow. "Well, that killed the last remaining doubt I had about who you are … or were, Narumi. You can't eat ice cream like you used to eat ramen."
A few minutes passed before Narumi stopped rubbing her forehead. That gave Sakura a chance to think this over while she ate. This redheaded girl Narumi was Naruto but was Naruto as a girl. Then there were another Naruto as blonde and annoying as ever. But he had a new attitude problem.
Could she accept this one for who she was now? There were a lot of preconceptions she had as far as Naruto was concerned. But looking at the girl rubbing her head across the table, she could see many of them not applying to her. Sakura put down her spoon and just looked at the other girl. She could see a true resemblance to Naruto in the girl.
Narumi caught Sakura staring at her and flushed. Sakura smirked and relaxed her stare a bit.
"Relax, I'm not going to hit you. I only hit your 'brother' and that is when he is being stupid," Sakura said.
Narumi looked down and replied in her soft voice.
"Or when he showed up Sasuke. Or asked you out so you wouldn't feel bad about being rejected by Sasuke. Or when you just felt like it," she said in a low hurt sounding voice.
Sakura bristled under the accusation but the hurt in Narumi's eyes stopped her from doing anything. The pause made her thoughts wander enough to see that the redhead was telling the truth.
Sakura paled as she thought or how shallow she had been. 'No wonder Naruto is so cold to me now,' she thought.
The girls ate in silence after that until the sundaes were gone.
"So what now Narumi? Are you going to be on Team 7 with the rest of us?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know. Tsunade has me on off duty for more training until next month so that I learn all I can about being a girl first. It's all so weird to me," said Narumi.
Sakura just nodded. She figured she would have a similar feeling about suddenly finding herself as a boy. There were so many things she found that she wanted to ask Narumi but so many of them concerned Naruto now. Just by asking the girl about a person she wasn't anymore would be cruel to the girl. Sakura had not ever thought of her actions as being cruel or abusive to Naruto before. But now she realized she had abused the blonde boy this girl used to be a part of and she felt ashamed for that.
She thought this could be a second chance for both of them. "A second chance," she muttered.
"What?" asked Narumi when she heard Sakura mutter under her breath.
"I said 'a second chance'. You get to start over as a new person, don't you? No one knows who you are or where you came from. You get a second chance, a new start," Sakura said as she smiled. 'And I can make up for some of my abuse to you, Naruto ... Narumi… whatever,' she added in her head.
"Um, Narumi, you want to practice with me tomorrow?" Sakura asked.
Naruto sneezed as he walked into his apartment. He carefully checked the traps he had laid and was pleased that no one had sprung them. Even so he made a quick inspection of his things before he pulled out some ingredients for dinner. He smiled for a moment and wondered why he was doing all of this himself.
He lifted his fingers and made a hand sign speaking out the jutsu name and summoning a shadow clone. He staggered a moment after it was formed. He actually felt a chakra drain from doing that! He felt close to his normal strength but he knew that there was something different with him making his best jutsu. He made the seal once more and called out a pair this time. He panted once as the clones formed on either side of him. He wondered what was wrong with him. He felt like he had just done a full afternoon of training just from making those few shadow clones.
He ordered the clones to get to work making dinner while he went to rest for a few minutes. He had just lay down when a sharp memory hit his mind. He had spilled a large bottle of soy sauce into the stir fry a clone was making and that clone responded by smacking him on the head. Naruto frowned that he was certain he had been laying in bed when this 'incident' happened.
Naruto got up and hurried to the kitchen to find one less clone and a ruined stir fry being argued over by the two remaining clones. The clones both looked at the original and stopped arguing.
'How did I know the stir fry was ruined?' Naruto thought as he sighed and tried to salvage what he could of the dinner.
As the evening progressed, Naruto kept thinking back on the incident. Somehow he knew what the clone had experienced. He could recall that months before he had only read the jutsu instructions of shadow clones but not the details of what it did or its overall effect. There was something important he had missed at that point and now he had a clue what it might be.
He had an idea on a test. He summoned a clone and sent it to the bedroom. He grumbled at the drain he felt creating the thing but he needed to know. A few seconds later the idea that he was putting his weapons pouch on his pillow along with a book of poetry. He hurried to the bedroom and saw the items on his bed.
'Somehow, I get the memories of the clones when they dispel,' he realized. He had also felt slight jolt of his chakra refreshing a bit at the same time as the memories. 'I think a little of my chakra in the clones returns to me carrying the memories as well. Before I had too much chakra to even notice but I guess since I don't have the chakra I did before it stands out more in my awareness. Like you wouldn't notice a cup full of water poured into a tank but you would if it was poured into a gallon jug.'
Naruto nodded to himself with this idea and it seemed ot fit. Going over the Academy books he had ignored before was paying off already. A large amount of his mental problems had little to do with his intelligence but rather his self imposed ignorance of facts from skipping class. Likely less chakra to work with explained his greater control since coming out of the hospital.
'One more test,' he thought as he made a jutsu he detested for years. A single illusion clone; a bunshin; appeared before him. The details were slightly off but it was better than any simple bunshin he had ever made. He cast it once more and now a perfect bunshin stood next to the slightly off one.
Naruto laughed at the sight before him. This had been unexpected but something he could deal with. He looked at his many scrolls he had acquired over the years. Various jutsu of many types and levels he had never been able to make work lay written in those pages. Oh, were the teme and Pinkie in for a surprise very, very soon.
Night settled on Konoha and a shadow moved away from the hospital. A brief glint of light flashed off his glasses as he looked around. In his pocket, copies of a number of files from the highest security section lay hidden within a scroll.
'Orochimaru will be pleased to have these files,' the thief thought.
Anko glared at the three boys who had just been thrown out of the Academy and sent to her interrogation room.
"So, I hear you like to go after unwilling girls and try to molest them," she asked her temporary playthings.
Tsunade frowned down at her student in the morning light. Narumi simply withered under the stern gaze but did not back off. The blonde woman nodded to herself as she recalled her talk the prior day with the Hokage.
"Narumi, I need to know a few things. The incident yesterday has me concerned," she began,
The girl under her gaze just nodded.
"Why didn't you fight back against those boys?" the Sannin asked directly.
"I … I don't know. I just never fight back against anyone. I normally would yell back if someone accused me of something or run off instead," she said.
"Do you realize what they could have done to you, Narumi? It could have quickly gone past them trying for a kiss or a feel. They could have kept on going and raped you if you did nothing to stop them," Tsunade growled out.
"Raped? But only girls … only girls get raped." Narumi paled as she made the connection she had been avoiding in her own mind.
"That's mostly right, Narumi. Captured kunoichi can get raped. And now you are one of them. I wish this lesson had been an academic one and not a near miss. You need to realize that at all times you are a girl and to learn to think as a girl does in all situations," the blonde finished with a frown.
"But what if this can be fixed?" Narumi tried grasping at that false hope.
Tsunade just arched her eyebrow at her distant cousin with a look of 'are you really that stupid?' on her face.
"I don't want to be a girl. I didn't ask to be a girl. I don't want to act like a girl," Narumi shouted in the beginnings of a hissy fit.
Tsunade stopped that quickly with a resounding slap on Narumi's cheek.
"Listen to me, missy," Tsunade said to the teen as she poked the girl in the chest. "You might not have had any choice in the matter but right now and likely forever that is what you are. You need to accept that and move on. You don't have a choice, Narumi."
I. AM. NARUTO!" the girl screamed as she slapped away Tsunade's finger in anger.
Tsunade smirked some at that. "Getting feisty now huh?" she taunted. The anger was a positive sign but the healer wanted to know what else was lurking below the surface.
"You never fought back huh? Even after they threw Naruto out of places or never ever allowed him past the front door? You never got angry at them?" Tsunade said in a tight voice.
"Of course I did!" Narumi yelled. "I just couldn't do anything about it!"
"Why?" Tsunade demanded as she flared her killer intent to cow the girl a bit.
"Because it would only make things worse for me. People would glare at me more and even the nicer ones got colder when I did. It … hurt," Narumi said as she calmed down slightly. "They mostly never did anything more than glare. Once or twice someone would try to do more than throw me out but they would get taken away for a few days and avoid me after that. I never knew why until recently."
"So it made you angry but you never acted on it. Are you still as angry now? Think about the last time you had to force down your anger. Are you still as angry?" Tsunade instructed.
Narumi thought about one incident and then another. "I can remember them and how I felt at the time. I know I was angry but I don't really feel so angry anymore," she replied confused.
Tsunade nodded. One more point confirmed.
"But you can still get angry. You showed that a minute ago."
Narumi nodded in agreement.
"But, that does not change the fact that you are no longer Naruto. Now you are Narumi. You need to react to all things as Narumi, a girl and kunoichi of Konoha. Any man or boy looking at you will see the pretty face and body of yours and think 'girl' and all sorts of other things related to girls as well. They are going to check you out and mentally compare you to other girls. They are going to want to touch you and possess you and have sex with you. You will need to deal with that. Not Naruto. You. Uzumaki Narumi will have to deal with those looks and lusts and all the other things," said Tsunade in a stern voice.
Narumi shuddered at any of those things or thoughts being directed at her. She had not considered any of that yet. It frightened her.
"How do you deal with all of that?" she whispered.
"Mostly through experience, Narumi. Don't forget, girls have an entire lifetime to get used to that kind of behavior and stares from men. You have had all of three weeks and not even a single day alone in public. That naked girl jutsu of yours Sensei told me about should have taught you something about how men think about women. You can use that knowledge and your own less than pure thoughts from when you were Naruto to know what men are doing and thinking and deal with it that way."
"If men try what those boys did yesterday, you need to do something. One thing you cannot do is be passive and just let them do things thinking that they will respect your wishes. You tell them no. If that doesn't work, you fight back or find another way out of the situation. You act in the knowledge that if you just stand there meekly, those men; those rapists; will have you on your back with your legs spread and doing as they want to you."
Narumi was looking sick now so Tsunade decided to stop and change the subject.
"Enough of that for now. It is time for dodging practice," she said with a new smirk.
Narumi looked up from her thoughts and ran for cover as the first rubber ball whizzed past her head.
A sore Narumi headed out of the Senju estate wearing her normal ninja clothes to see a pair of other girls waiting by the gate.
Sakura looked up and waved as the redhead came closer.
"Hey, Narumi," Sakura said happily. "I ran into Piggy on my way over and figured she could come along."
The blonde girl punched Sakura on the shoulder and spoke to Narumi.
Hi, I'm Yamanaka Ino. Just stay away from my Sasuke and we should be good friends," she said.
Narumi gave a sickly smile at the thought of Sasuke and replied, "Um, no problem. I don't think he would be my type. I'm Uzumaki Narumi." The redhead waited on the blonde's reaction to her name.
"That's the same name as that blonde baka Naruto," Ino cried out.
"Yeah, he's my twin brother. I just got back to town with Tsunade last week," Narumi said nervously.
"That's weird. It must suck having a brother like Naruto," Ino stated.
"Well, I'm sure he is not that bad. I only met him in person twice since I got here and he didn't seem too bad," Narumi said feeling nervous talking about her 'brother'.
"Well, I am not going to stand here talking about Naruto," Sakura grumbled as she turned to head off. "We were going to get in some practice, Ino. You're welcome to join in. Kaka-sensei is busy so I don't have team stuff today."
Ino thought for a moment. She still had a bit more than a week before the Chunin Exam finals. She could use a little more practice. "Sure," she decided.
The trio made their way to Team 7's normal training area. They were surprised to see someone already there. A blonde boy wearing black shorts and no shirt was standing in the middle of the area. His back was to them so he had not seen them yet. His attention was focused on a scroll in his hands. As the girls got closer, the boy put the scroll down and made a series of hand signs before saying a jutsu name too quiet for them to hear. His hand pushed out and the grass in front of him flattened away from the boy as a blast of air came from his palm.
"Naruto?" called out Sakura.
The blonde boy turned to see the trio of girls behind him. Both Sakura and Ino were shocked for a moment as Naruto's body. The orange jumpsuit had always kept it hidden and both girls were stunned by how good the boy looked without a shirt. He was not heavily muscled but he was well proportioned for his age and had little body fat to hide it.
Narumi wanted to hurl. She would have never gone out like that 'before'. But just seeing the boy she used to be standing before her got her angry.
"Oh kami, put a shirt on before these two start drooling, little brother," Narumi griped.
Naruto was brought up short by the comment from the redhead. He narrowed his eyes at her as he realized who the girl was.
"Little brother?" he inquired warily.
"You already forgot meeting your big sister Narumi? After all Tsunade did bring me back here with her. But still, you should remember those meetings with the Hokage. It is already in the records that way," Narumi said in a snide voice.
"Oh, I remember the meetings. It was no one made mention of that fact, Narumi," the boy replied almost snarling.
Sakura and Ino had composed themselves by now. They stepped back as the 'siblings' were glaring at one another.
"In fact, I don't even see why you are even out here, Narumi," Naruto growled out.
"I met Sakura yesterday and she invited me to practice taijutsu with her today. We didn't expect to run into you," Narumi countered.
"Oh really? Well since I was here first I got the field. Unless you want to beat me at taijutsu and take it away, big sister," Naruto said in a cold voice.
Sakura looked warily at both Uzumaki and tried to break in, "We can go somewhere else, Narumi."
The two people who were once one both spoke in unison, "That's not necessary, Sakura."
Narumi stepped up closer to Naruto and got into her taijutsu stance.
"Are you sure you want to do this? You might get hurt and start crying again, big sister," Naruto said baiting the girl.
"Bring it, little brother," she snarled at the boy who had taken away her life.
Next Chapter: Sibling Rivalry
End Notes:
A little more education for Narumi and a really bad encounter for the twins. The ice cream bit is sort of something I got from watching some Ranma 1/2.
A reminder, Naruto is primarily the darker/yang parts of the original while Narumi is primarily the lighter/yin parts. But each still has some of the opposite within them as Narumi showed by getting angry. Naruto/Yami has redeeming qualities but they have not been highlighted yet but glimpses have been seen. His treating in kind those that are fair to him. His not leaving a passed out Hinata in the alley. Even at his darkest, NAruto/Yami is not an evil person, just angry.
The ice cream flavors used are my daughter's three favorites. She loves her chocolate.
Review Notes:
regarding the taijutsu teacher. He was there to help explain multiple characters having poor taijutsu. Sasuke had some training in his clan's style as well as having the resources and teaching materials left behind after the rest of the clan was killed.
Naruto/Yami is more of an anti-hero starting out than he is anything else. He did stuff the notebook he took from Jiraiya into Hinata's pocket but that was more of a gift than an attempt to get her in trouble
I have no plans to give anyone alternate forms or exotic weapons.
The power of the Kyuubi remains behind the seal which is on Narumi. It has no mind and is simply a mass of chakra. The consciousness/soul/essense of the Kyuubi is currently within Naruto's subconscious slowly regaining enough strength to become independent and start on the path to regaining its power from the seal, the Shinigami and any residual bits laying around like from within Sora.
