Last time
Still walking slowly to them Naruko's grin grew wider and her eye's turned gold. Naruko sang out in an all too sweet voice sending shivers down everyone's spine.
"Let's play~"
Now
Chapter 7:
Each step Naruko took, fear increased within the thugs some had already wet themselves. The thug closest to Naruko dropped his weapon shaking and sweating in fear. Dropping to his knees was the final trigger as a blur of yellow flew past him.
Screams of pain, crunching of bones and the sound flesh being pierced, he could hear each one clearly. To make it worse there was a gap between each one, a gap long enough to know exactly what happened.
As quickly has it begun it ended. All nine of his friends were dead expect for him. To overwhelmed with fear to move, to breathe and even to think. He sat there on his knees tears starting to roll down his face as he heard footsteps heading towards him.
Forcefully turned around he saw what was left of his friends. Looking upon his friends he saw that they were either mutilated or just a blood stain spread across the deck. Using one of her tails Naruko gently and lovingly caressed the thugs face leaving a blood smear as it traveled across his face.
Naruko circled him a few times before kneeling down face to face. A tail positioned itself where the thug's heart was before slowly adding pressure. The thug produced a silent scream as he felt the tail pierce his chest slowly.
The strain from too much pain and fear his body shutdown slumping to the ground before Naruko's tail could completely pierce his body. Standing up slowly the gold colour in Naruko's eyes slowly faded into her normal blue eyes. Blinking several times while shaking her head, Naruko looked down only to see a dead thug with a hole in his chest.
"W-w-what happened? D-d-did I do t-t-this?" Naruko asked with a shaky voice.
When Naruko turned around she dropped to her knees while a few tears rolled down her face. Naruko turned and buckled over throwing up into the river below her. Naruko saw the once brown deck, which leads to Tazuna's house which was standing over water, was now covered with blood and body parts.
Getting a good look at her reflection in the water Naruko saw that see was covered in blood. Gasping and holding her mouth Naruko started crying and shaking in fear of what she had done or possible become.
"I did this but why?" Naruko said between sobs.
"Kit can you hear me dammit?" Kurama said loudly making Naruko jump.
"Kurama? W-w-what happened to me?" Naruko asked still shaking.
"Finally I've been trying to get to you. It seems you were taken over by your emotions as to why most likely because you are still new to this," Kurama replied not entirely sure of what caused this.
"For now clean yourself and head for the bridge your team might need your help. We will talk about this later now is not the time," Kurama told while sensing a fight at the bridge.
Naruko nodded slowly before running closer to the house and jumping into the river away from the carnage. Naruko quickly washed herself removing the blood from her clothes, tails and hair. Slowly pulling herself back on to the deck that held the house Naruko started running at full speed to the bridge.
Shortly before arriving at the bridge Naruko shifted into her eagle form and flew high into the sky. Looking on to the bridge Naruko saw that the area was covered with mist and her team were in a bit of trouble. Sakura was guarding Tazuna while Kakashi was on the defensive due to Zabuza.
A bit further to the right Naruko saw a dome of some sort and what she saw inside it made her worry. Inside the dome was Sasuke with many senbons sticking out of him. Flying to help Sasuke Naruko saw Sasuke collapse.
Naruko returned to her human form, while still flying towards the dome, she took off her wrist weights and through them at the dome. The weights hit a part of the dome each and creating a deep crate when they hit the bridge.
As Naruko got close to the dome she took her ankle weights off and just in time as she landed making another smaller crater. As soon as Naruko landed she through the weights, towards the direction of where Kakashi was, destroying another part of the dome.
Naruko quickly made a clone to pick up Sasuke and run outside the dome with him on her shoulders. As soon as the clone left the dome, the destroyed sides regenerated leaving the original trapped inside.
Finally taking a look at the dome Naruko saw that it was a dome made of mirrors with a picture of the Oinin they met a week ago. There was another row of mirrors above the first row that were tilted inwards with a single mirror as the roof. The mirrors were a bit less than double the height of Naruko.
"I see you were able to allow your teammate to escape this place. It makes no difference you will not escape," a voice said from all around Naruko.
"Please surrender I do not wish to kill you," the voice continued.
"No need, you couldn't kill me even if you tried," Naruko shot back.
"Every well you leave me no choice," the voice said.
With her senses Naruko dodged the set a senbons that were thrown at her from behind. While dodging Naruko noticed a blur head from one mirror to another. Sending chakra to her ears and nose Naruko increased her hearing and smell capabilities.
Naruko dodged another set of senbons while trying to see if she could see that blur again. Though she didn't see the blur she heard water splash behind her along with a single foot step. Dodging another set Naruko turned to face behind her and saw the blur this time along with hearing the single footstep.
"You are fast I'll give you that, but I'm not anywhere near my full speed," Naruko boasted.
"Your bluffs don't affect me. You won't be escaping this place so please give up," the voice replied.
"Bluff? Why don't you find out for yourself if it's a bluff or not," Naruko said while taking off her jacket and dropping it.
When the jacket hit the ground it made a mini explosion and covering the inside of the dome with dust and debris. The debris made a few cracks in most of the mirrors that surrounded Naruko. If it weren't for the dust and the Oinin's mask Naruko would have seen the ninja's eyes go wide.
During the dust Naruko made a dozen kage bunshin. When the dust cleared thirteen Naruko's stood there each with a grin on their faces. The twelve clones rushed to destroy a mirror, though none made it close as they were all destroyed by a set senbons.
"Numbers mean nothing in here, it's pointless to continue," the person said the voice still coming from all around Naruko.
Naruko just grinned and made another dozen kage bunshin which each charged towards a mirror. Each clone was destroyed again. While Naruko had the clones attack she focused on tracking the ninja.
Smiling that she was getting closer Naruko made another dozen but they were all destroyed before they could even charge.
"I told you. You can't win so please surrender," the ninja said again with a sigh this time.
Naruko said nothing and her grin turned into a smirk. The ninja seeing this was confused as to why then realise that Naruko was directly staring at him. Before the ninja could do anything Naruko appeared in front of the mirror while cocking her fist back preparing to punch.
As Naruko sent her fist forward the ninja slipped out the mirror only to be hit by a tail sending him crashing through the mirror. As the ninja recovered twisting their body mid-air to land Naruko was upon him again.
Naruko punched the ninja in the face making the mask crack and sending the ninja flying and landing a few metres in front of Kakashi and Zabuza. As Naruko went in for another punch she saw the face of the ninja and stopped inches from punching the ninja.
"Haku?" Naruko asked recognising the ninja.
"Why did you stop," Haku asked.
Dropping her fist Naruko replied, "Haku you're with Zabuza? Why?"
"He saved me from hell and as such I am his weapon to do as he sees fit," Haku answered.
"Weapon?" Naruko repeated.
"Where I come from having a kekkei genkai is forbidden and when my father found out about this he killed my mother right in front of me. As he moved closer to me saying that he 'will rid this land of us' I panicked."
"He called my mother and me a curse that plagued the land and the reason for its destruction. Out of fear I killed my own father. I was forced to leave and run. No one took me in or even cared to look at me," Haku said softly.
"The last thing I remember my father saying replayed in my head over and over. 'You are an unwanted plague,' shortly after I started to believe what he said was true and that's when Zabuza-sama found me."
"He gave me reason to live and to feel wanted again, so I will do anything to protect him and his dream. He is my precious person," Haku said with a smile.
"Haku, you…" Naruko said sadly.
'He is like me, hatred for something beyond our choice and control,' Naruko thought sadly looking to the ground while a few tears rolled down her face.
"Please kill me I have no use now," Haku asked.
"What why? What do you mean?" Naruko said quickly looking at Haku.
"I am Zabuza-sama's weapon. Now that I have been defeated I am useless. Zabuza-sama has no need for weak tools. So please kill me I have nothing left to live for," Haku said softly.
"THAT'S BULLSHIT! YOU ARE NO TOOL! I WILL NOT KILL YOU!" Naruko shouted in anger to Haku.
Before Haku could say something both Naruko and Haku heard a chirping sound. Both turned and saw Kakashi's hand covered in blue lightning sparkling around Kakashi's hand. Haku saw Zabuza trapped and held down by a pack of dogs and Kakashi charging with his hand lighting covered extended.
Without hesitation Haku made a mirror before slipping into it. Haku flew out the mirror to intercept Kakashi. Naruko seeing what Haku was doing chased after her. As Naruko got close it was already too late.
In slow motion Naruko watched Haku appear in the path of Kakashi from another mirror he placed in front of Zabuza and take the hit to his heart. Before his last breath Haku clenched his hands around Kakashi arm that was in his chest.
"Haku well done, what a useful thing I've picked up. Kakashi it looks like you can't tell the future," Zabuza praised while lifting his sword with his left hand and holding it above his right shoulder.
Kakashi saw that his arm was stuck and Zabuza was about to strike. Thanks to the slight hesitation Kakashi escaped unharmed while holding Haku by jumping back. Haku though got a nasty slash across his back.
Kakashi freed his arm from Haku before closing the kids eyes. Kakashi slowly stood up and looked to Zabuza with a hard cold stare. Appearing in front of Zabuza instantly, Kakashi round house kicked Zabuza towards Sakura and Tazuna.
While Kakashi was beating Zabuza Naruko had retrieved Sasuke and placed him by Sakura. Looking back to Kakashi, Naruko saw him standing behind Zabuza with a kunai in both of his hands. Zabuza using his left hand swung his sword behind him.
Kakashi ducked letting the sword sail over his head. As soon as the sword past his head Kakashi rose and stabbed both kunai into Zabuza's bicep. This made Zabuza lose his grip on his sword and sent it flying towards Haku. The sword was lodged into the bridge near Haku's head.
"Zabuza this fight is over. You are too distort to continue. Clearly Haku's death has affected you," Kakashi said declaring the fight.
"Shut it Kakashi. This fight isn't over yet," Zabuza shot back while the mist surrounding the area dispersed.
"Well what do we have here. Zabuza you useless fuck, can't you do anything right?" a voice suddenly made itself known.
Kakashi, Zabuza and Naruko turned to the voice and saw brown haired man in a suit with a pair of sunglasses and a cane in his hand. Behind him there was a few dozen thugs all fully armed and with their weapons drawn.
"Gatō? What the fuck are you doing here?" Zabuza asked.
Walking up to Haku Gatō rammed his cane in to Haku's face and kicking him a few times.
"Take that you shit stain. That's for breaking my hand," Gatō cursed.
"He is already dead, leave him alone!" Naruko shouted.
"Don't care!" Gatō said while kicking Haku a few more times making Naruko grit her teeth.
"I never planned to pay you after this. Why hire a nukenin when I can hire all of these guys for the same price," Gatō said while using his hand to show all the thugs behind him.
"Kakashi our fight is over I have no reason to fight you anymore," Zabuza stated while walking towards Gatō.
Gatō stomped Haku's chest before saying, "Zabuza some demon you were."
"Are you going to just let him disrespect Haku like that!" Naruko shouted while running up to Zabuza.
"Shut up kid. He is already dead," Zabuza calmly said back to Naruko.
"DO YOU NOT FEEL ANYTHING!" Naruko shouted back getting angry.
"No I don't. Just like Gatō used me I used Haku. I only used Haku for his kekkei genkai. In this world shinobi are only tools to do as we are told. I have no regrets," Zabuza simply replied.
"Oi, do you really mean that?" Naruko asked softly.
"Who the hell is this annoying brat?" Gatō asked getting annoyed.
"Shut it!" Naruko shot back while Gatō gritted his teeth.
"He loved you! Do you really mean that!" Naruko shouted to Zabuza.
"Naruko enough he is not the enemy anymore," Kakashi said while placing his and on her shoulder.
Naruko just knocked Kakashi's hand off her before walking closer to Zabuza.
"Do you really feel nothing?" Naruko asked again.
"…"
"YOU WERE PRECIOUS TO HIM. HE LOVED YOU. HE THREW HIS LIFE AWAY FOR YOU!" Naruko shouted while tears started to run down her face.
"He died without his own dream. To die as a tool…" Naruko said softly but enough for Zabuza hear.
"HOW CAN YOU NOT FEEL ANYTHING?" Naruko shouted while crying.
"Kid…" Zabuza said softly.
Naruko looked up to Zabuza and started crying more when she saw him crying.
"You don't need to say anymore," Zabuza continued to say softly.
"Blah blah blah. Shut it already you making a noise" Gatō said giving Haku a final kick hard enough to send him rolling a metre or two.
Naruko stopped crying when she saw this. Her head tilted towards the ground hiding her eyes while slowly releasing her chakra. Both Kakashi and Zabuza turned to look at Naruko after feeling her chakra slowly increase.
"This talking is wasting time. Where is the group I sent to pick up that whore the builder calls a daughter. I need some new entertainment, she will make a great whore," Gatō said with a laugh.
Hearing this set Naruko off and made her release her full power. Kakashi and Zabuza were pushed back from the force of Naruko releasing her chakra. Sakura went wide eyed when she could see chakra flowing around Naruko in between the dust that was flying away from Naruko.
Kakashi and Zabuza had to cover their eyes from all the dust and wind that was blowing outwards from Naruko.
'Naruko?' Kakashi thought surprised at the power radiating of Naruko.
'Just what the hell is this kid?' Zabuza thought also feeling the power coming from Naruko.
Naruko started walking to Gatō and his gang still hiding her eyes. Each step Naruko made, the ground beneath her feet cracked. Her tails were dead still pointing upwards and her ears were flat on her head. Gatō along with his gang saw Naruko edging closer. The thugs were getting worried but Gatō was laughing.
"Did something get you upset? Men get her it seems there is another whore up for the taking," Gatō laughed.
Naruko instantly appeared in front of Gatō scaring the shit out of him. Naruko grabbed him by the throat with her tail before throwing him behind her. Gatō landing roughly in front of Zabuza who looked down to see Gatō slowly getting back up.
Zabuza used his teeth and shredded his mask apart showing his mouth and sharp shark like teeth. Zabuza used his foot to stomp on Gatō's head repeatedly making him scream with each stomp. This lasted for around a minutes before his screams stopped.
Zabuza took one final stomp making Gatō's head cave in. Seeing Gatō get killed Naruko looked back to the group of thugs' right in front of her.
"You damn bitch that was our meal ticket!" a thug shouted.
"Kit here use this and make them pay," Kurama said giving Naruko the memory a jutsu.
Naruko nodded before jumping back about five metres.
"Mi, hitsuji, ushi, inu, i, u, tora" Naruko said calling out the hand seals while performing them and building up chakra in her lungs.
"Katon: Eien-en no jutsu" Naruko called out before breathing out a blue hot flame from her mouth reducing all the thugs to nothing only leaving a black mark in the shape of the flame on the bridge's surface.
The end of the bridge had melted due to the heat of the flame, everyone there was amazed at the jutsu Naruko just used. Sasuke had just woken up a few minutes before and when he regain his bearings he saw Naruko perform the jutsu silently thinking when did Naruko learn to do that.
Zabuza walked up to Naruko who was still looking to where the thugs used to be and put a hand on her should.
"Thank you kid. You reminded me that shinobi are also human and can't completely kill their emotions," Zabuza thanked.
Naruko just turned her head to look at him with a small smile. Kakashi at this point walked by to Naruko while Zabuza had walked over to Haku.
"Haku, I am sorry and thank you for everything," Zabuza said kneeling over Haku and picking him up gently while a few tears rolled down his face.
It started snowing which only lasted about a minute.
"Snow? Haku are you crying?" Zabuza asked softly while the rest were confused and amazed by the sudden appearance of snow
"I would like to bury him," Zabuza said looking towards Kakashi.
"Sure my team will clean this up, Naruko you may go with him if it's alright with you," Kakashi replied while looking to Naruko before Zabuza.
"Sure kid. I'm sure Haku would of liked that," Zabuza said while jumping off the bridge and walking the short distance to land on the incomplete side of the bridge.
-Burial site-
Both Zabuza and Naruko sat there in silence praying their wishes and respects for Haku for about half an hour before Zabuza spoke up.
"Haku was a kind and gentle kid. It pained him to fight you as he wished not to harm anyone but show them love and compassion. He fought both for you and myself," Zabuza said softly while standing up.
"He fought for us?" Naruko asked a bit confused.
"Yes it's the reason why your teammate still lives," Zabuza said explaining what he means.
"Is what you said true about being a ninja?" Naruko asked quietly.
"I can't speak for Konoha but in Kiri we are not meant to purse own ambitions but to become the village's greatest weapon and tool," Zabuza answered.
"It's the same for Konoha. Each and every ninja has to live while dealing with that issue," Kakashi said appearing from behind.
Naruko and Zabuza turned around to see Kakashi standing there with a neutral expression.
"He is right you know, I can speak from experience," Zabuza confirmed.
"Is this what it means to be a true ninja?" Naruko asked softly and sadly.
"Unfortunately yes Naruko," Kakashi answered.
"You know what? Fuck that!" Naruko declared to which both Zabuza and Kakashi raised an eyebrow at that.
"I've decided. I am going to be a ninja in my own way!" Naruko said with pride and confidence.
'This kid…' Zabuza thought while his eyes widened.
Kakashi's eye also widened before doing his famous eye smile.
"Zabuza what are you going to do now?" Naruko asked.
"If its fine I think I will stay for a month or two to help defend the village for a while. When I've healed and rested I'll leave so I don't attract the wrong kind of attention," Zabuza asked still not sure himself of what he is going to do now.
"It should be fine right Kakashi-sensei?" Naruko asked looking at Kakashi who nodded in return.
-One week later on the bridge-
Thanks to Naruko and her clones the bridge was completed within a week. They had been attacked once by a group of bandits that wanted revenge for what happened to Gatō. The group had been unlucky as Zabuza had been guarding at the time of the attack. None were spared.
Naruko and Kurama were still not sure as to why Naruko lost it like she had. Naruko had told Kakashi about this who in turn had to give her the 'killing speech'. This calmed Naruko down a bit but was still frightened as it might happen again.
What truly had Naruko worried is that her friends might end up being hurt if she did end up losing it again. Her team had reassured her that they would be fine as no matter what became of Naruko she wouldn't hurt any of her friends and that they would always be there.
"From us and the rest of the village we thank you for freeing us from Gatō, we will be forever in your debt," Tazuna thanked.
"No need we were only doing our job. If you need more help Konoha will be more than happy to help," Kakashi replied earning a smile from his team and Tazuna.
"Inari be sure to take good care of your mother. Make sure you grow up strong and keep well," Naruko said to Inari while kneeling in front of him before pulling him in to a hug who nodded in return.
Standing up and walking to stand next to her team Naruko turned to face Inari once more.
"If you ever want to see all of me again, you're more than welcome to," Naruko said in a seductive voice before blowing a kiss to him and using her tails to caress her body.
Inari face went completely red before hiding behind his mother, too embarrassed to be seen. This of course made Tsunami quite curious and shot Inari a questioning look who only answered by hiding his face behind his hat.
If it weren't for Kakashi's mask you would have seen a drop of blood running down from his nose. Sasuke and Sakura were confused by what Naruko had meant. When Sakura saw Naruko caress her body with her tails, she instantly caught on and started blushing hard.
"Naruko you hentaiyarō," Sakura said turning her back to the villages sending them off and crossing her arms still blushing quite hard.
"Kakashi-sensei I blame you, this is your fault," Sakura said in a disappointing voice while Kakashi rubbed the back of his head and laughing awkwardly.
With the last few waves and goodbyes Team Seven headed back for Konoha. When Team Seven reached the end of the bridge they saw Zabuza leaning against one of the support pillars.
"Zabuza come to see us off?" Naruko asked happy to see him.
"Yea I am. There is something I must tell you though," Zabuza said seriously getting Team Sevens attention.
"I went to Haku's grave a few days ago and found that it had been disturbed. I found out that his grave was empty," Zabuza told them in a slightly angry voice.
"What!" the genin trio said while Naruko was clenching her fists.
"Don't worry about this I will investigate this myself and will keep in touch," Zabuza said while standing up with his arms crossed.
"If you need anything be sure to let us know," Kakashi said also quite angry by this.
Zabuza nodded back and disappeared with a swirl of dust and water. Seeing Zabuza leave Team Seven started walking again back to Konoha.
-Hokage's office few hours later-
The trip back was uneventful and with traveling at normal ninja speeds Team Seven returned to Konoha within a few hours. Team Seven were now standing in front of the Hokage waiting quietly while he reads over the report.
"I must say well done to you and your team. This will be recorded as an A-rank mission and you will be paid accordingly," the Hokage praised.
"Thank you Sir. I would like to speak to you in private. Naruko you may stay if you wish the rest you are dismissed for now. Normal meeting time tomorrow at ground seven," Kakashi said before turning to his team.
"You can tell me tomorrow what this was about," Naruko before walking out with her team.
"I'll meet you guys tomorrow then," Naruko greeted to her team before walking off alone.
Sakura was about to chase after her but was stopped by Sasuke who placed a hand on her shoulder. Sakura turned to protest but saw Sasuke shaking his head.
"She just needs to be alone for a short while, if you are really concerned you can talk to her tomorrow. But for now she needs this," Sasuke said calmly stopping Sakura from saying anything.
Sakura nodded before leaving shortly followed by Sasuke. When they left the Hokage building they headed in separate directions.
-Next day training ground seven-
"Hey guys," Sakura greeted seeing Naruko and Sasuke sitting by the log posts.
"Sakura-chan" Naruko greeted giving her a smile.
"Are you feeling better? Everything alright?" Sakura said while sitting down next to Naruko.
"Yea I'm good thanks, feeling better. Thanks Sakura-chan," Naruko thanked.
Sakura blushed a bit at the adding of chan to her name. Sakura placed a hand on Naruko's shoulder giving it reassuring squeeze. Naruko turned to Sakura and gave a small smile in return.
"Yo," Kakashi greeted appearing from nowhere and still reading his book.
Naruko and Sakura blushed hard at seeing the book again while Sasuke had a faint blush.
"Do you really have to read that while you're with us Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked still blushing.
"Hey a good read is a good read," Kakashi replied, Sakura mumbled something about perverted teachers being a bad role model.
"Are you really Kakashi-sensei? You are here on time," Naruko asked not believing this. Kakashi just gave an eye smile in return removing all doubt as they were pretty sure no one else can do that.
"Kakashi-sensei what did you speak to jiji about?" Naruko asked.
"Not much, just about the lack of education the academy is failing to give to certain people," Kakashi replied still reading his book.
"Sensei you really didn't have to do that," Naruko said softly but very grateful for it.
"No I did, but don't worry I gave certain teachers a kind and polite talk," Kakashi said while the genin got a shiver down their spines at that the way Kakashi had said kind and polite. Naruko mentally thanked Kakashi.
"Normally after an A-ranked mission a genin team is given a week of rest and healing, but we have already had that," Kakashi explained.
"So are we still going to do missions?" Naruko asked not sure where Kakashi was going with this.
"No you are unable to do missions for a week, but that doesn't mean we are going to sit doing nothing. For the next month you will be training everyday till you pass out," Kakashi explained in a tone that made the genin gulp.
Sasuke and Naruko where extremely happy that they will be driven into the ground with training while Sakura was starting to get second doubts about this.
"You surely don't mean till we pass out right?" Sakura asked a little scared of what is to come.
"Nope, you will train till you pass out. I have half a mind of making you train while still unconscious," Kakashi said with an eye smile really scaring Sakura.
"Right, Naruko you go do your normal fitness and strength training once done return back here," Kakashi told Naruko who was about to start running off but was stopped by Kakashi.
"Oh Naruko I forgot. Double all you weights," Kakashi said sweetly.
"But sensei they are already at 85kg a piece," Naruko whined a bit.
This shocked Sakura and Sasuke greatly they knew about Naruko's weights but they didn't know how much they weighed.
"Hmm well add 5kg then double it," Kakashi replied.
"But…"
"Add 10kg instead then double it," Kakashi cut Naruko off.
Naruko kept quiet this time and did what Kakashi told her to do before running off.
While Naruko was doing her regular fitness and strength training the rest of Team Seven did similar training with weights included but not as bad as Naruko had it.
When Naruko returned she was really tired, 85kg was already a bit much for her but 190kg a piece was ridiculous. She was going to do her training in fox form that was until Kurama forbid her.
When Naruko returned to the training ground she saw both Sakura and Sasuke lying down on the ground breathing heavily and covered from head to toe in sweat and dirt marks. Naruko joined them and lay down in between Sasuke and Sakura.
"You guys look like you have seen better days," Naruko laughed a bit that their predicament.
"When Kakashi-sensei gave us that all that training to do I thought he would just sit by and read his book not join us," Sakura said still surprised that Kakashi had joined them.
"Kakashi-sensei joined?" Naruko asked also surprised.
"Well yes. The fight with Zabuza showed that I have softened up over the past few years," Kakashi replied from above the genin.
Looking up the genin trio saw Kakashi crouching on a brunch in the tree above them. Kakashi shortly dropped from the tree while pulling out a stack of small paper. Team Seven slowly stood up and faced Kakashi seeing him hold a stack of papers.
"Umm? Kakashi what's the paper for? Please don't tell me we are doing a written test?" Naruko asked panicking slightly.
"Naruko I don't think we are doing at test. Those papers are too small," Sakura replied seeing the size of the paper not being bigger than Kakashi's palm. Naruko calmed down happy that she won't be doing a test.
"Sakura is right. These pieces of paper are made from a special type of tree that is grown and fed with chakra. When exposed to the slightest hint of chakra it will react accordingly to your chakra's latent nature," Kakashi said while giving his team each a piece of paper.
"All you do his channel a bit of your chakra into the paper. If it turns to ash its fire, splits in two its wind, wrinkle its lighting, crumble its earth and if it becomes wet or damp its water," Kakashi said while channelling his chakra into the piece of paper.
The page between Kakashi's fingers wrinkled while a less the half crumbled.
"Mine is lighting. Earth is a secondary for me. The more you train with other elements the more your body becomes used to using them," Kakashi said showing the paper to his team.
Sakura went next her paper become soaked while a small part of a corner crumbled.
"Water is your main. Earth is second but not all that strong but can change with time and training," Kakashi explain while Sakura was smiling happily.
Sasuke followed Sakura and pushed his chakra into the paper. His page wrinkled while about a half of it turned to ash.
"Hmm interesting. Your main is lightning and not fire like most Uchiha. Though you still have a strong affinity to fire," Kakashi explained while Sasuke smirked.
Naruko went last and push as little chakra as she could into the page know what happens if she is not careful. Her page split into two while one side wrinkled almost turning into a ball and the other half turned to ash.
"Now that is really interesting. Your primary element is wind the perfect type for you. But you show strong affinity to lightning and fire. That is rather unheard of," Kakashi explained amazed by this while Sasuke lost his smirk not being too happy about that.
"I think it might be because of my tails, it's the only reason I can think of," Naruko said trying to think why she has three elements.
"It could but it could also mean you have a kekkei genkai?" Kakashi replied.
"What is that?" Naruko asked.
"Kekkei genkai are abilities that are passed down through genetics so only a person of that clan can perform them. The Sharingan is a good example. Kekkei genkai can be jutsu based, or body enhancement based," Kakashi explained.
"Haku had kekkei genkai. By mixing water with wind he can create ice," Kakashi explained further.
Naruko nodded understanding what a kekkei genkai is.
"So I could have one, how would I find out?" Naruko asked.
"I will tell you when you get the hang of using your elements. So for now just focus on that," Kakashi said not wanting to get to far ahead, Naruko answered with a nod.
"So we now know your elemental affinities but before we get to them you will need to increase your chakra control. Naruko, Sasuke you already know how to use fire so it might go quicker," Kakashi said to Naruko and Sasuke who both smirked at that.
"The next chakra exercise you will be doing is water walking, using the same principle as the tree climbing only this time you must constantly release a changing amount of chakra to stay afloat," Kakashi said while walking to the nearby river.
With his team following him Kakashi walked on water a few metres out before facing them. The genin trio were amazed that they would be able to walk on water soon.
"So get to it. You may take your clothes off but keep the weights on," Kakashi said with a slight grin.
Naruko and Sakura didn't like the way Kakashi had said that while Sasuke removed his leaving him in his pair of boxers. Sakura blush hard at seeing Sasuke like this while Naruko had a slight blush at seeing Sasuke's slowly forming muscles.
"Sasuke-kun~" Sakura sang out creeping Sasuke out a bit. Now he wasn't too happy with the idea of stripping especially with Sakura around.
"Um Kakashi-sensei, can I please get my swimming costume first?" Naruko asked shortly followed by Sakura asking if she could go as well.
Kakashi nodded before Naruko and Sakura quickly ran to get their costumes. Kakashi secretly wanted to say no but held against saying it for fear of what might happen if he did. When they return they were still in their normal clothes this confused Kakashi.
"I thought you went to get your costumes?" Kakashi asked a little disappointed.
"We did. We aren't going to walk around the village in them," Sakura shot back not liking the idea of walking around the village virtual naked.
Naruko and Sakura removed their clothes while leaving on their weights. Naruko and Sakura where wearing an orange and pink bikini respectively. While Sakura had a descent body for her age, breasts still rather flat but well-toned stomach and legs.
Naruko on the other handed didn't look like she had a thirteen year old body more like a well matured seventeen, eighteen year old body. C going on to D-cup breasts, well-toned stomach with a six pack showing slightly and well-toned slender legs, carve muscles showing quite nicely.
While Sakura was a fair bit pale Naruko had a perfect sun tanned body. Sakura was quite jealous of Naruko's body shown by her mumbling about how unfair it was that Naruko could look so good.
When Sasuke saw Naruko he blushed rather hard which didn't go unnoticed by Naruko. Sakura thought he was looking at her. Kakashi in the mean time almost lost consciousness when he saw them.
"Sasuke do you like what you see~" Sakura sang out to Sasuke.
"Wasn't looking at you Sakura," Sasuke said softly but loud enough for everyone to hear while taking glances at Naruko.
Seeing Sasuke look at Naruko this got Sakura rather unhappy.
"Damn you Uchiha-bitch stealing Sasuke from me," Sakura said giving Naruko a glare who returned her own instantly.
"How can I steal something from you that was never yours in the first place? You Forehead-slut!" Naruko shot back.
Sakura just kept quiet at this and walked to the river to train. Naruko smirked knowing that she shut Sakura up for a good while. Sasuke and Kakashi just sweat-dropped at the bickering while both were thinking along the lines of 'Damn girls'.
'I thought they were over that by now?' Kakashi thought with a sigh.
For the rest of the day Team Seven practiced walking on water. All three getting the fair shares of being dunked.
Chapter 7
And that is the end of the Wave arc. Their will be two more arcs before the Chuunin exams. Though the first one can be considered a filler arc but it does hold importance.
Sorry about not releasing this sooner. I do have exams next week so I will update when I can but after next week I shall make up for it.
Thanks once again to all the reviews. Wow there are a lot of followers and favourites honestly didn't think much would come from this story.
Kurayami Kazuo Riddle: Glad you love this story and that's the kind of relationship I'm heading towards for Kurama and Naruko. Though I don't quite understand the last part of the list you wanted, google translate changes the grammar order so it doesn't quite make sense.
TheBeauty: You bring up a good point. It is quite the disadvantage in that Naruko can't do most things a human can but she will still be able to do most missions and will be a lot stronger while like this. As Naruko can shrink or increase her size while in fox form when she reports for a mission she will make her self smaller as not to scare anyone. When the clients see her they shouldn't react to differently as the Inuzuka clan do have dogs as their partners but still might be curious as to why it's a fox and not a dog. So the client will just peg it as a companion or a summon that belongs to one of the genin of jonin. The ninja world is unpredictable to most non-ninja.
When Naruko is human she will be drain from a lot of her chakra and strength as most of it comes from her demon half sure she will still be strong but she will feel weak and tired kinda like the same as InuYasha when he becomes human. Not sure if you have watched this series but in Young justice Superboy(Conner) when he uses those power up discs he gains the full powers of superman but when it runs out he becomes extremely tired and drained from using it, the same principle applies here.
Hanmac: You will have to wait and see ;p
ThunderClaw03: No no no don't want to think about that thank you. Screw how far they can fly more be like how long they can scream like a girl for.
BloodPokemon101: Nope not joking all twenty wives are lawfully wedded as there is this whole process in which the bride is bought using cows and not money, not kidding on this part, the whole wedding thing can last up to 3-4 days. But the parts about sex-slaves/sluts I wouldn't know could be a possibility. I think its more a power thing as in their culture the more wives you have the more power you supposedly have.
Kekkei genkai: Bloodline limit.
Katon: Eien-en no jutsu. fire style/release: Eternal flame technique.
hentaiyarō: pervert can be directly translated to damn pervert or perverted bastard. Yarō(ヤロー) doesn't have an english translation as its more an emphasis on the insult. Bakayarō being the common one. It can be attached to most insults Konoyarō being another common one.
