Hello in new chapter. Then, without talking let's begin.
Training ground number 12
The sun was high in sky. Only few small clouds could be seen on it. A calm wind was blowing quietly making trees leaves rustled a little. But between these calming sound a shouting could be heard.
On training ground were two women training. Older was standing and watching as hundred clones were training Taekwondo. She looked at them careful and seeking any flaws. Soon she shout.
"Higher these legs! Or you won't be able to hit head!"-clones respond with one 'Hai!' and start again. She then turn around and saw true Naruko who was making push-ups on hands with vase full of water on foots.
"26! 27! 28! 29! 30!"-she shout and throw vase in air. Quick spin and she landed on foot. When she stood up she looked up to catch vase. Juri said.
"Good. Now, in my style of Taekwondo I use more legs that arms. Because they are stronger and they got more range."-she said. Naruko nodded. "So now 100 sit-ups. Vase on head and one in each hand, for balance and stamina. Come on we got only month for you to prepare!"-she shout. Naruko sigh and put vase on head and in hands and start doing sit-ups. Juri thought.
"At this rate her Taekwondo would be average. But these clones surly are useful."-she looked at clones. Right now they were trying do double kick. Juri continue. "Good she is flexible. If not this could take more amount of time. But I should see how she paint this mountain without anybody notice. Especially ANBU. Hehe"-she licked her lips. "She is truly interesting. Not single complaining about training. She truly want to be stronger."-Juri giggle a little.
Naruko made already 20 sit-ups. A sweat was gathering on her forehead. Juri walked to clones and taking their attention said.
"Ok, now something different. I wanna you all to spar. Using only kicks, from Taekwondo. Let's see if this help."-she said with smug. Clones looked between themselves and start sparing. When half clones disappear she said.
"Not bad. Only two days and you already can do satisfiable kicks. But it's still not enough. I will Increase the level of training. When you did one hundred kicks, you do now three hundred. Every exercise from now on is tripled. And not single complaining. If you wanna beat that Hyuuga better try harder. I don't tolerant weak people."-she said with evil eyes. Clones felt chill down their spine and start doing training.
Back to Naruko she was almost done with sit-ups. Juri said.
"After you finish, make another clones. As much as you-!"-she stopped and looked at one place. She grab stone with foot throw it in the air and with air spin she kick it in the bush.
"GUAHH!"-Someone yelled. Juri shout.
"Better have a good reason to peek. You got three second."-she threatened clenching her hand in fist. Naruko finished her exercise and looked at person who walk out of bushes. A vase was still on her head and in hands. She literally forget about the one on head, but her arms were burning from pain.
A person have long, white, spiky hair. His hitai-ate got two small horns. He got two red lines under his eyes. He wear red haori, gray outfit under it with probably light chainmail. Pants reaching his half of his tibia and traditional Japanese sandals on hill. On his back was scroll. His name was Jiraya. Infamous pervert.(Jiraya: I'm SUPER PERVERT!)
He rise his hands in surrendering gesture and said.
"Dammit, you got really hard kick."-he whine. Juri said.
"Didn't I tell you. Explain why you peek on us."-she demand. A purple energy start appearing in her eye. Jiraya frown but said with lewd smile.
"Ohhh. Only beautiful women got my attention so you shou- AHH!"-she said as Juri feet was few inches from his nose. Juri said with frown and serious voice.
"If peeking women is only thing you can do then better get out, or you will fell new definition of 'Beaten to bloody pulp'.- She threatened. Jiraya frown and jump away and get in stance.
"That women is fast. And what with this energy? It's first time I see something like this. Let's check her out."-he smiled and said.
"I see you're hot head. Ok, if you wanna settle this in hard way."-he move his right leg behind and left in front as well arms and said with confident smile. "Then come!"-he said and with gesture he provoke her to attack. Juri said to Naruko.
"This guy maybe will bring some fun. Look careful and remember what you will see."-she said and charge at Jiraya. He smiled and start preparing jutsu. Juri jump left and right and jump in air to prepare kick. Jiraya slap his hand together and shout.
"Katon: Gokyakyu no Jutsu."-he send a fireball at Juri. She snorted and kick her leg, releasing wave of energy which collide with fireball. An explosion cover area between them. Juri landed on the ground and charge at Jirayia. He make another hand seals and shout.
"Daiendan."-from his mouth a massive wave of flame flew at Juri. Biting her lip she try avoid wave of flame. She make few kicks with energy to destroy flames at side. Which success making her field to escape attack. She stopped and licking her lips she said.
"I see you're in good shape. Perhaps you can entertain me."-she grinned. Jiraya snorted and said.
"I'm poet. It's my duty to entertain people with my art. But right now I will entertain you in different way."-he said and charge at Juri. She smiled widely. They both charge at each other. Jirayia prepare to punch her right in face. Juri as well. When they were few meters away from each other Naruko shout.
"STOP IT YOU TWO!"-Juri and Jiraya lost balance because of how loud she shouted and almost collide with each other. But Juri manage to flip above Jiraya who ducked. Juri make few flips and landed on the ground with grace. Jiraya on the other hand eat dirt. Literally. Juri frown and said to Naruko.
"Hey, gaki! Why did you stop us?!"-Juri was angry. Naruko put down vases and said.
"I'm sorry, Han-sensei, but I wanna continue my training. I need to be prepared to Finals and playing with this pervert will only slow us down in progress."-Naruko said and looked at Jiraya with frown. He shout.
"I'm not pervert! I'm SUPER Pervert!"-he shout with pride. Juri want to beat shit out of him, but she lost interesting. She looked carefully at Jiraya and notice big scroll behind his back. She ask-demanded.
"Hey, pervert! Are you maybe familiar with seals?"-her tone was giving hint to don't give her 'no' for answer. A tick mark appear on Jiraya face.
"I told you I'm Super Pervert! And to your knowledge, I'm not only familiar with seals! I'm Seal Master!"-he said while crossing arms on chest and puffed with pride. Juri start thinking and said to Jiraya.
"Hey make 9 gravity seals!"-Juri demanded. Jiraya raised eyebrow, and looked at Juri like she could demand something from him. Jiraya stood up and said.
"Why should I? It's not like you can demand something from me."-he answer. Juri smiled and chuckle. She get idea to get what she want.
"I see. So you're not a Master after all. You're just pervert, who want to peeping woman, right? You just talk a lot, and do nothing."-she said with smirk and mocking tone. A more tick marks appear on Jiraya face. He pulled charms and ink and said.
"I will show you, what kind of Master I really am!"-he said and start making seals. Juri smiled and turn to Naruko.
"See. Men are so easy to convince. You just need to know, where hit."-she said with sadistic smile. Naruko felt a cold chill ran down her spine. Juri walked to her and said.
"By the way, gaki..."-She whispered to her ear, before she kicked her right in the stomach and send her straight in the tree. Naruko gasp from hit and fall on the ground, trying to catch breath. Clones stop doing the exercises and Jiraya stop making fifth seal. Juri walked to Naruko and said.
"Remember, don't stand between Spider and her Pray."-she said with scold. Naruko looked at Juri and said.
"I'm sorry… Han-sensei."-she mutter. Juri just looked at her and turn away and said.
"I hope you are sorry."-she said and turn to clones. "Who said you can stop. Everything from the beginning NOW!"-Juri shouted. Clones start doing everything from the beginning. Juri sigh and looked at sun. It was already past noon. She looked at Naruko over shoulder. She was trying to do squats. She scratch her head and sigh.
"Naruko. Take break."-she said with small hint of apology. Naruko looked at Juri surprised and ask.
"What?" Juri start to shake with anger and shout, stomping hard at ground and pointing at Naruko.
"I said you can take break! What are you?! Deaf!? If you want I can give you such intensive training you won't be able to walk for week!"-she shouted. Naruko jumped from fear and run away to get something to eat. Juri crack her arms and sigh. She looked at Jiraya and asked.
"Hey, are seals ready?"-Jiraya sighed and with tiredness he said.
"Yeah, they are ready for use. Just put some chakra in them. The amount of chakra which put the seals will be equal to their weight.."-he explain. Juri smiled and took the seals. He said to Jiraya.
"Thanks."-she said and walked to clones. They were in the middle of a workout. She said.
"Ok, you can dispel."-The clones sigh and gratefully dispelled themselves. Right now Naruko got. a quite strong headache from knowledge of Taekwondo. But this was just beginning. She still has whole month to prepare.
Two weeks later
Naruko was walking down the street to Ichiraku Ramen. She just finished her workout with Juri. She was tired, and hungry and beaten. Today, she was sparing with her. Juri literally, make her eat dirt. But she also praised her. She was getting better and better. And because of this Juri bought her new outfit few hours ago. It was the same outfit which Juri wear but instead of purple, she got orange version. And Naruko absolutely love this outfit.
It was comfortable, light and very durable. Nor training or beating couldn't destroy this outfit, but sharp weapons could damage it. But Naruko was very happy, from her skills in Taekwondo. She really fit in this style. Her long legs and flexibility she has only helped her in training. And right now, a nice body could be seen. Her muscles are getting bigger and harder, and without losing agility. Also her speed increased. In previous week Juri began to tell her to run with seals. Right now, even after training she still use them. And right now she got additional 60 kg on all 9 seals.
Naruko enter the Ichiraku Ramen and sit down. She grab the menu and looked at all delicious flavors of ramen she can choose. A salvia start dropping from her mouth. She was really hungry. Ayame rise her head from under the counter and smiled brightly. She said.
"Hey, Naruko, how are you today?"-she polished a dishes she just washed. Naruko looked over the menu and scratched her head.
"I'm fine. Beaten but fine."-she said with shy smile. Ayame frown and crossed her arms. She pointed at him with finger.
"You better don't allowed to be used you like some kind of punching bag. Or you will deal with me."-she said with insane smile and red glowing eyes. A purple aura appear behind her giving her devilish look. But it was just imagination of our poor Naruko.
Naruko rise her hands in defensive position and said.
"Don't worry Ayame-chan. It was training. That's right. Training."-sweat was gathering on Naruko face. Ayame aura vanished as quick as it appeared. She asked.
"So, The usual?"-Naruko nodded. Ayame shouted to call her father. When Teuchi went out from supply base, he greeted Naruko with smile and with surprise when he notice Naruko new outfit. Ayame then notice this as well, and slap herself several dozen times in forehead. Naruko laugh at this. Sometimes Ayame was clueless. After short time, Naruko start eating her favorite ramen.
When Naruko was eating her fifth bowl, someone entered. Naruko didn't bother to look, but voice of person grab her attention. Naruko look over his shoulder and notice someone, she wouldn't expect too see where she was now.
In enter stood girl with short dark-blue or semi-purple hair. Her eyes were without pupils, but it wasn't seems she was blind. She maybe got better sight than Naruko. She wore gray-purple blouse and dark-blue pants. Also, she wore black shinobi sandals. Her name was Hinata Hyuuga, the former heiress of Hyuuga clan.
Naruko notice she was very shy. But, seriously, she couldn't talk with her more than 10 minutes before she would faint. But beside that, she was girl, who was very kind and always ready to help if needed. A real pearl in sea of trash. Because mostly, everybody care only about themselves.
Hinata looked at Naruko who also looked at her. They were looking at themselves for about minute before Hinata face turn into bright red. Ayame seeing Hinata face, couldn't help but giggled. Hinata after calming down a little sit down next to Naruko with face still red. Naruko finished eating her ramen and turn to Hinata.
"Hey, Hinata. What are you doing here?"-she ask with smile. Hinata yelp a little and start wriggle. Naruko looked at Hinata confused. She replied.
"I-I was..pas-passing by wh-when I n-noticed you."-she mutter. Naruko nodded and said.
"How's your training? I heard you started training, when you leave hospital."-Naruko said and order water to drink. Ayame nodded and went for water. Hinata looked at Naruko and said.
"I-It's going well. But Father is s-still strict. But I doing my best."-she said with small smile. Naruko smiled and said.
"That's good. I also train hard. You will see when, I beat everyone at Finals."-Naruko said while pointing with her thumb at herself. Naruto giggle and nodded. They were talking for another five minute, when another present appear behind them. Naruko and Hinata looked at person and Naruko frown immediately. The person was no other than Kakashi Hatake.
Naruko looked at him with poisoned sight. Hinata noticed this and looked at them with worry. Naruko tightened her fist behind her, ready to smash it at Kakashi's face. He on the other hand, looked at Naruko with bored expression. He said with bored.
"Yo, Naruko, you not training?"-he looked at her with calculating eye. Naruko was on edge of anger. She really don't want to be near him right now. He said again.
"If you won't training, then there is no chance that you will become a Chunin."-he said clearly in provoking tone. Naruko gritted her teeth, but give deep and long sigh and said to her so-called 'Sensei'.
"I have break. I will go back to training in few minutes. And speaking of training, how is Uchiha? Did he already finished his training?"-she asked. The last sentence was in really mocking tone. Kakashi frowned but it quickly vanish. He said.
"He also have a break. I will give you advice."-he said as he turned away ready to leaving. "You better forfeit when you will face Sasuke."-and he left. Naruko frown and turn to Hinata.
"Sorry about that."-she scratch her head. Hinata shocked her head and said.
"Don't worry. I wish you good luck in training. I will come to Finals to cheer for you."-she said with smile. Naruko couldn't help but blush slightly. She laugh nervously and said.
"Well. It will better If I go back to training. See you soon Hinata."-She said, quickly drank her glass of water and run off to the training ground where was Juri. Hinata only waved at Naruko and sigh. But suddenly her face turned red and steam left her head.
"I talked to Naruko and didn't faint!"-she thought with happiness and run as fast as she could to her home. After dust settle down, Ayame looked around confused and shouted.
"And who is going to pay bill!?"-she sigh and start washing the dishes.
Training ground number 12
Juri was sitting under the tree, looking at eye. The more precisely, her left eye. She lost it in fight when her family was killed by undefined shinobi. From that moment she hated shinobi. Every single one of them who stood in her way, was killed in fight. And Juri laugh at their struggling when they try run away, with broken bones.
She beat them to the bloody pulp, and used them, like they are a mere toys. Sometimes she waited in one place, when another group of shinobi appear. And she smiled when they appear. She was like spider. Sometimes she waited in one place, when another group of shinobi appear. And she smiled when they appear. She waited and sometimes lured them into traps.
They couldn't stand a chance against her. But one time, she overreached. This was one year earlier. She was sitting under the tree, just like today. The sun was high on the sky, and wind was slowly blowing, giving fresh air to breathe with. Juri was looking at her hands, thinking what to do now.
One year early, unknown location, midday
Juri heard breaking branch and jump away from her location. Soon after that two kunais were in the ground where she was. Frowning she shouted.
"Hey, get out of those covers! There is no point hiding now!"-she looked around. For few seconds no one came out, but soon, shinobi start surround her slowly. Smiling she said.
"Oy, oy, oy. I think I will have a lot of fun with you."-she get in her stance and said. "Let's start, huh?"-she notice that shinobi didn't do anything. She frown and looked around. Soon from the line of shinobi came another one.
He was tall, well-built men with mask over his face. He have red hair and dark skin. He also wear the same gear as his fellows shinobi. From his forehead protector, she could guess, that they are from Iwagakure. The men said.
"So you're that infamous women, who killed almost one hundred shinobi, through pass these years. I must say I'm impressed. But enough of this chit-chat."-he said and pulled kunai and prepared himself. Juri smiled and said.
"I hope you will be better than the previous group."-she said and charged at shinobi. He did the same thing and they run at each other, with blood lust in their eyes. Juri leg and Shinobi hand meet in the middle of battlefield.
"-sei… ri-sensei… Juri-sensei!"-someone called her.
Juri eyes snapped open when she felt someone was shaking her. She looked around and saw Naruko. She looked around again and asked.
"I fell asleep?"-she grabbed her head and felt she still got her eye in the hand. Naruko nodded and said.
"I just came back from break. And when I came you was sitting here, sleeping."-she looked little worry. Juri shocked her head and stood up. She shacked off the dust and said.
"Nevermind. I hope you're ready, because right now do 300 sit-ups with vase in hands and one on head with water. Come on, move!"-she ordered. Naruko jumped and run to prepare vases. Juri sighed and looked at eye, before she pushed her eye back to eye socket. She felt a little pain but nothing major. She blinked few times, so the eye could place itself and looked at Naruko who started doing sit-ups.
When Juri finished training Naruko it was almost evening and the sun was hiding behind the horizon. Naruko was exhausted, but satisfied. Juri walked to Naruko, who was breathing heavily and was laying on the ground. She was covered in dust and sweat. When Naruko notice Juri she said.
"Naruko you did well. I'm impressed. But still you're average in Taekwondo, but for now, this should be enough. In next two weeks, we will start another part of training, but this require something."-she said and crouched. Naruko looked at Juri with her eye little confused.
About what Juri-sensei talking about. Require something. She need to do something. They needed some kind of item. Naruko couldn't guess, but was terrified when she noticed how Juri wrenched her own eye. Naruko screamed from fear and shouted.
"Juri-sensei! What are you doing!? Are you-!"-she didn't finished, because Juri grab her by jaw. Juri looked little irritated. She looked into Naruko eye and said.
"Shut the FUCK up! Jeez, you want to make me deaf."-she said and without any warning she pulled Naruko eye patch off her face. Naruko couldn't do anything, not even struggle because of shock. Juri didn't stop there and pushed her eye in Naruko hollow eye socket. At first nothing happen but then Naruko scream from pain.
She felt like her left part of head was burning, like there was fire in her head. Grabbing her head, she start rolling on the ground but Juri grab and hold her down. Naruko was screaming louder and louder from each passing seconds. Juri cursed and smacked Naruko in the face, stunning her. She stopped struggle and felt numb. Juri sigh and sit next to her.
She looked at unconscious Naruko and mutter to herself.
"I hope you will wake up soon. I will got hell of explanation to do."-Juri complain and furiously scratched her hair. After second she looked forward and looked at sky.
In Naruko Mindscape
Naruko groaned and slowly opened eyes. She felt like her head was going to explode. And she still felt fire in her left eye. She slowly stood up and looked around. She didn't recognize the place. She notice iron pipes coming from around her. The walls also was made from what it appears, the iron plates. And mostly there wasn't light. The only place where light was, was where she stood. Grabbing by her left side of her face Naruko said to herself.
"Kuso, what did Yuri-sensei do? And she didn't even warned me. I hope I gets some explanations." she started slowly move forward to find the exit. Surprisingly the light was following her, so she at least saw what was before her. Also she notice, that there was water around her, which was enough to have whole foot in water.
The corridor was getting smaller and smaller, but she still could walking straight without getting hit by the pipe. After long walk she found entrance. Or so she thought. When she entered so-called 'exit' she entered big room. She looked around. The walls were also builded with the same iron plates. But what caught her attention was Iron bars, tall for maybe 10 meters. Maybe more. On the middle was charm with word "Seal" on it.
But after a second she felt massive Killing intent. It was so big she saw like she was crushed, turned into bloody pulp because of huge paw with claws. Her whole body stopped in track and her whole body started trembling. Her whole face was covered in sweat. She felt like something was holding her, squeezing life out of her.
Slowly looking up, she saw red giant eye. The eye was looking back at her. Like the predator. She couldn't move. She could only stare back at the eye, with fear. She didn't even noticed, when claws rushed at her. Only to stopped few millimeters from her face. After a second she noticed what just happen.
Falling on her butt, she slowly start noticing giant, sharp fangs. A head started to revealing it's self, which was huge fox head with orange or ginger fur. Soon she saw fox in full of it's glory. Big, fox body and massive, nine tails swinging behind it. Naruko gulped didn't knowing what to do. Where she was, what happen, it was all meaningless. She wanted just run away. But she couldn't. Fear paralyzed her body.
Fox got huge grin on it's face. His eye was smiling, sneeringly. Naruko tried to stand up but, loud, deep voice of Fox stopped her.
"I see, that my jailor finally, showed herself. I'm honored."-he said in mocking tone. Naruko didn't know what to do. Killing Intent she was feeling were stopping her to do, say anything. Fox continued.
"What's the matter, gaki? Are you scared? Are you covered in fear? Hehehe. You should be. After all, you are standing, or sitting, before the mightiest of the Biju. You're in front of Kyuubi-no-Yoko it self!"-he roared with proud. Naruko was shacking with fear. She wanted to run away. To leave this place, and never go back here. Fox said to her.
"I see, you're quite strong. That Juri or who-ever train you now has her head on the neck. But still, you're weak! Maybe I could help you!"-fox offered. Naruko finally manage to say something.
"W-w-w why, s-sho-should I-I trust you?!"-she half shouted still feeling fear. Fox frown slightly but soon erupted in laugh. The water and the whole room start trembling. Fox looked at girl and said.
"Truth. Why girl, such as you, should trust a demon, like me."-he giggled. Naruko finally manage to stand up but she didn't move from her place. Blood lust was still overwhelming, but finally she could stand still. Fox looked little surprised but didn't showed this. He move his head closer to the ground, so he could better see the girl.
Naruko gulped and clenched her fist. She pointed at Fox and with angry expression she shouted.
"HEY! You Fur-ball! If You're in me, then for living here you will allow me to use your power!"-her sweat was falling from her face. She has nervous smile, while looking at fox. Fox didn't know, what to say at beginning. This girl just break free from paralyzing fear and now she felt just a fear. This caught him off guard. But soon he roared in laugh. Naruko didn't know what to say. She became more nervous.
After few minutes of loud laugh he said.
"You're interesting! Truly interesting! Very well! I will allowed you to use some of my power! But in return you let me see what you see and hear what you can hear. So I won't be bored! Deal?"-he asked with smile which was saying that there was catch. But Naruko didn't notice this. After few second she nodded.
"Fine, but try do something what will force me to do something I don't want to and I will shut you up for good!"-she said, again pointing at fox. He only giggled and said.
"Whatever. Now, I think your teacher is waiting for you. Say hello to her from me."-fox said and force Naruko to leave her mindscape.
Training ground number 12, border between evening and night
Juri was sitting in the same place where she was, next to Naruko. She was getting impatient. What could hold her so long. Maybe the beast in her guts. Or maybe something else. Scratching her hair she sigh. But hearing groans from behind she looked over her shoulder. She saw how Naruko was waking up.
Naruko opened her eyes and groaned. Looking around she spotted Juri and asked.
"W-What happen?"-she still felt burning sensation in her left eye. Juri said.
"I gave you something. Something which will help you in future."-she said. Naruko then noticed she could see on left eye. Wondering, why she could see, she was going to ask Juri, but she saw that Juri left eye was closed. That give her hint what Juri was talking about.
"Why? Why did you gave me your left eye?"-she was unsure. Juri sighed and said.
"Listen carefully, because I won't repeat myself. And wait to the end of my explanations, they you will be able to ask questions. Got it?"-she said with stern face. Naruko nodded. And Juri start explaining everything. From beginning to end.
