Chapter 8:

Team Seven spent a week on the water walking exercise and getting dunked. Sakura had completed the exercise on the third day but was then forced to do her normal training on water instead of land. This had Sakura getting dunked a few more times.

Sasuke had achieved the exercise on the fifth and had to join Sakura in training on water and not land. Sasuke had bragged that he had beaten Naruko in the exercise but Kakashi had said that it was irrelevant has Naruko has a lot more chakra than the rest of her team combined.

Sasuke now wanted to do some kind of chakra capacity training to which Kakashi said they were already doing that. Naruko had completed the water walking exercise on the seventh day and joined her teammates in training on water instead of land.

Though unlike the rest of her team she may have taken longer to get the exercise down but now she had yet to get dunked from training like the rest of her team. This confused her teammates as they still got the occasional dunk.

Kakashi had told them that tomorrow that they will start with the seishitsu henka training. All three genin were very excited for tomorrow, Naruko more so as it meant that she will be learning more jutsus.


-Next day-

"Yo," Kakashi greeted appearing out of nowhere again and still reading his orange book.

"Yip still not used to you arriving early," Naruko deadpanned.

"Kakashi-sensei you are always reading that book, surely you have finished it by now," Naruko said wondering why Kakashi is still reading the same book.

"Oh this is the second edition to the Ichi Ichi series, Ichi Ichi: Violence," Kakashi explain in all too happy voice.

"This is a clear master piece of writing, the plot, the romance and action are just perfect. The timing…"

"Alright alright I get it! Now can we start with the training please," Naruko said half begging not wanting to listen to Kakashi explain as last time she asked, Kakashi didn't stop talking about thing for days.

Kakashi stopped talking and gave a depressed look and mumbled something about youth now days don't give the time to understand literature. Naruko heard this and got a tick mark on her forehead but chose not to say anything as she wanted to train in ninja stuff not on how to argue with someone.

Coming out of his depressed state Kakashi got his team's attention by calling them all over to him.

"The main thing you must take note is that each element is stronger against one element and weaker to another. The order goes as follows: Fire is stronger wind; wind is stronger than lightning, lightning is stronger than earth, earth is stronger than water and water is stronger than fire," Kakashi explained.

"So if someone uses a katon jutsu use a Suiton jutsu to counter it or use a Fūton jutsu to make the katon jutsu stronger," Kakashi explain further.

"You should train yourself so that the only weakness you have as a team or ninja is the lack of imagination. Learning to use seishitsu henka opens up many ways to do things so get creative," Kakashi continued.

"You will be learning how to use your primary element first. But first you three go and do your normal fitness and strength training. Naruko increase your weights to 200kg, Sasuke, Sakura increase yours to 30kg and 25kg respectively," Kakashi told them and they went off to go and do as told.


-Two hours later-

All three genin slowly made their way towards a tree to rest under from their intense training. Naruko didn't look as tired as Sasuke or Sakura, this made them both re-question as to how much stamina Naruko has.

The genin saw Kakashi returning with another person. This person was wearing the regular jōnin outfit but instead of the usual blue or black shirt and pants his was grey. On his head though he was wearing a weird metal helmet only surrounded the sides and top of his face with the Konoha symbol on it.

He had brown short wild hear and black eyes. All three were confused as to way this other guy was here. Naruko recognised his scent but couldn't remember where from or why.

"Yo, this is Tenzō he used to be on my ANBU team, Tenzō meet Sasuke, Sakura and Naruko," Kakashi introduced the guy next to him.

"Kakashi-senpai, you know it's Yamato when I'm outside from my ANBU post," Tenzō said with a bit of a sigh.

"Nice to meet you, though could you please call me Yamato," Yamato said to the genin to which all three nodded in return.

"ANBU? Hmmm I think that's why I recognise your scent but still can't place you," Naruko said while still trying to figure out who he is.

"Well maybe you will know me as Tora. I replaced Taki after he left ANBU," Yamato explain.

"Tora-san? Oh I remember now though you never showed yourself like rest but oh well," Naruko said remembering now.

"So why are you here? You going to help us with our training?" Naruko asked.

"I'll explain now once I've have told Sasuke and Sakura what they have to do," Kakashi answered before turning to Sasuke and Sakura.

"Sasuke go get some leaves and try to make the leaf wrinkle so it becomes a ball. Sakura do the same but instead try to get the entire leaf covered with water. Go train somewhere else around here, return if you need help or have completed the task," Kakashi ordered.


With the two gone and Naruko left Kakashi sat down followed by Yamato and Naruko.

"Now before I explain why Yamato is here I need to explain the kage bunshin no jutsu," Kakashi said making Naruko a bit confused.

"I will tell you straight. The technique was created by the Nidaime Hokage, Senju Tobirama. It was originally used to scout out positions. When a kage bunshin dispels everything that it has learnt will transfer to the original and any other active bunshins," Kakashi explain.

Naruko's eyes went wide at this now thinking of all the things she can now do with the kage bunshin. Kakashi saw Naruko's eyes widen before a grin appeared. Kakashi could see the gears in her head turning.

"By that reaction I see you can see the implications for this. Yes you can use this to train and to learn," Kakashi said while Naruko's grin got wider.

"Now for the reason as to why Yamato is here. Using this training method requires a lot of chakra, which you have plenty of. The concern though is that when you run low on chakra Kyūbi's may start to leak from you and you may lose control of yourself," Kakashi explain this confused Naruko.

"Wait Kyū-chan wouldn't do that!" Naruko said firmly.

"What Kakashi says is true, but seeing as we are close to each other, my chakra may still leak but you will remain as yourself. I have no need or desire to control you anymore. My chakra releasing will if anything helps you in your training as you will have more chakra to use," Kurama told Naruko making her happy.

'Thanks Kurama. You are the closest friend I have and thanks for the help,' Naruko replied mentally to Kurama.

"Kyū-chan?" both Kakashi and Yamato asked confused.

Naruko hadn't told anyone about her relationship with anyone not even the Hokage. There was no reason for this just that the topic was never brought up so she never said anything.

"Yea. Kyū-chan is my best friend. He says that his chakra might leak but he won't take control of me," Naruko said with a smile.

"Naruko you must be careful with Kyūbi, he might be tricking you," Yamato said.

"I know you have had contact with Kyūbi before but I didn't know you could openly communicate with it," Kakashi said a bit suspicious.

"It's a 'him' not an 'it'," Naruko said rather unhappy by Kakashi calling Kurama an 'it'.

"Besides you haven't bothered to get to know him, I have. He has feeling just like everyone else. And he is not tricking me."

"I can prove it by the fact that I know his true name. Demons only tell their names to who they see is worthy and as a friend," Naruko said in a very clear disappointing voice while crossing her arms while standing up for Kurama.

Kurama was rather happy to have someone stand up for him for a change, though didn't let Naruko see or know. Naruko was quite protective of Kurama as she can relate to the loneliness and pain of being seeing as a weapon or something that's not alive or not who you really are.

After seeing and hearing what Haku had been through, Naruko only strengthened her vow of making sure she would do anything to help others in the same situation. Kakashi felt bad at not considering that Kyūbi might just be like all other life forms.

"Kyūbi has a name and is a 'he'?" Yamato asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yes he does. This just proves that humans are the real demons. I'm not surprise though you humans barely respect your own race so how do we expect you to respect others," Naruko said sadly and softly.

"I'm sorry I didn't realise, though I am still not quite used to life and the way thing work. Didn't exactly have a normal childhood or what little I can remember from it. That is a story for another time though," Yamato said calmly.

"Well enough with the gloomy talk. So basically Kyūbi will still leak chakra but won't do anything to you?" Kakashi asked trying to diffuse the gloomy atmosphere and getting them back on track.

"Yip he says I can use it to help with my training," Naruko confirmed.

"Well then Yamato you don't really need to be here anymore, though you can still stay and help out and for in case anything does happen," Kakashi said with an eye smile.

"Naruko make as many clones as there are leaves on this tree. Have each clone to try and split the leaf in half using your chakra," Kakashi ordered to which Naruko nodded and did as told.

When Naruko made around a thousand bunshins Yamato stood there with his jaw on the ground at all the bunshins Naruko made. Kakashi just laughed at Yamato while saying that Naruko easily can rival a low-tailed Bijū in terms of chakra.

Kakashi also said that he will never get used to seeing Naruko create so many bunshins Yamato just nodded with a dump expression on his face in return. For the next hour Naruko, Sasuke and Sakura carried on with their seishitsu henka training.

When an hour passed Kakashi told Naruko to dispel the all bunshins. Naruko did so and got a lot of information overwhelming her a bit. Kakashi prepared to step in as Naruko should be suffering from chakra exhaustion even with all her chakra.

When Naruko just stood there for a while trying to processing all the information and got ready to go again showing no signs of chakra fatigue. When nothing happened Yamato's jaw returned to the ground while Kakashi just sweat-dropped and shook his head.

Kakashi wasn't even surprised anymore he just gave up trying to understand Naruko. Naruko made another thousand plus bunshins and carried on. About half an hour later a bunshin walked up to the sitting Kakashi and Yamato underneath a tree that still had leaves.

"Kakashi-sensei do you have any tips for me?" Naruko asked.

"Hmmm. Nope sorry Naruko wind is my weakest element. Wind is one of the rarest types in Konoha. I can only count about five people who are wind type but only one still lives," Kakashi said while thinking.

"You mean Asuma?" Yamato asked also thinking of who was a wind user within Konoha.

"Yes, Naruko you can go ask Asuma he should be by training ground ten or seventeen," Kakashi said thinking of where Asuma would be.

Naruko said thank you before bolting off surprising Yamato again as he didn't expect that kind of speed from a genin let alone a chūnin.

"Kakashi-senpai just what the hell is she?" Yamato asked.

"Not sure though I'm not surprised she is turning out a lot like her father a real genius when it comes to training and being a ninja," Kakashi replied.


-Training ground 10-

"Glad I found him," Naruko said happily seeing Asuma spar with his team.

Asuma was wearing the traditional jōnin uniform but had a cloth on his right leg hanging for his jacket. The cloth had the symbol for Hi no Kuni. Asuma had black hair and eyes and closely resembled the Hokage in looks.

"ASUMA-SENSEI!" Naruko shouted making Asuma and his team stop and look towards Naruko.

"Naruko? Wonder what she wants?" Asuma asked wondering seeing Naruko jogging to them.

"Naruko? That's Naruko? I don't recall seeing her with tails and fox looking ears?" Shikamaru said confused.

"When did Naruko get into cosplay?" Ino asked while quietly thinking that Naruko looks very cute with the ears and tails.

"So I see she is no longer hiding one of her secrets, wonder what changed?" Asuma said noticing that Naruko has her features out and showing.

"Secrets?" both Shikamaru and Chouji asked not knowing about this.

"What that she is into cosplay why would she hide that?" Ino asked very confused.

"I don't think that's cosplay Ino, they look real," Shikamaru said noticing how Naruko's tails moving too naturally to be fakes.

"They are real, you may ask about them but not how she got them," Asuma said seriously.

Shikamaru started thinking about this hopefully with a few questions he might figure it out. Ino though was really wondering and confused. Chouji was also curious but left it to Shikamaru to figure it out.

As soon as Naruko got there she was about to ask something but Ino cut her off.

"Naruko are those really real?" Ino asked.

"You mean the ears and tails? Yes they are," Naruko said while letting her tails move around randomly.

"Were you born with them?" Shikamaru asked.

"I can't say without telling a certain secret but will tell you after the chūnin exams," Naruko said sadly not wanting to hide this from her two best friends.

"I see, seems troublesome if you asked me," Shikamaru sighed.

"Why do you have them and how are they real," Ino asked.

"Well that's because I'm not human. I'm a hanyou," Naruko answered with a smile.

"Hanyou? Half demon half human. See why you said you kept to yourself," Shikamaru said with a raised eyebrow. Shikamaru thought he had figured it out but would ask Asuma or Naruko later.

"Can I touch them please?" Ino asked sweetly.

"Y-y-yea sure, just be gentle please," Naruko said not too sure about this.

Ino smiled and slowly started gently rubbing Naruko's ears. Naruko's ears twitched the first time Ino touched them making her jump a bit. Naruko started purring soon after Ino started rubbing her ears.

"Aww, how cute! She even purrs!" Ino squealed making Naruko blush.

"S-s-so you're not afraid of me?" Naruko asked softly making Ino and her two best friends raise an eyebrow.

"No why would I be? I think its terrible cute kind of wish I had them," Ino said with a bit of jealously making Naruko blush quite hard.

"Well its part of the main reason why I kept to myself as the villagers don't think so," Naruko said sadly while Ino moved to pat one of her tail.

Asuma clenched his first at this, he knows about Naruko's life. Asuma was one of the few people wanting to adopt her but the civilian council prevented this, pissing off quite a few people on the ninja side.

Shikamaru noticed the tone in Naruko's voice and Asuma's sudden mood change partly confirming his theory.

"Well you are still you and the villagers are stupid. You will always be our friend right Shikamaru?" Chouji replied.

"Yea it would be too troublesome otherwise," Shikamaru said with a small smile.

This brought a big smile to Naruko while Asuma smiled as well happy that his students are open minded. Ino smiled as well while patting a different tail.

"Thank you Chouji, Shikamaru and Ino it means a lot to me," Naruko said softly.

"So Naruko why did you come here I doubt it's to reveal your true self?" Asuma asked wanting to know why she was here.

"Oh right. I came to ask tips on using my wind element as Kakashi said you are the only other person who is a wind user," Naruko said remembering why she was here.

"Oh so you are a wind type?" Asuma said happy that there was another wind user

"Yes a long with fire and lightning. Kakashi says I might have a kekkei genkai," Naruko responded.

"You have three types wow, you most likely do have a kekkei genkai," Asuma said surprised.

"Asuma-sensei how do we find out what type we have?" Ino asked.

"You will find out tomorrow. I can't have Kakashi upping one on us," Asuma said seriously making Shikamaru grumble and mumble about how troublesome things have become.

"So Naruko you came here for tips, seeing as you are also a wind user I'll tell you if you take my team out for a barbecue," Asuma said trying to make a deal with Naruko.

"You're cheating Asuma-sensei," Shikamaru scoffed.

"Not really. So Naruko do we have a deal?" Asuma asked.

Naruko paled slightly know how much she and Chouji could eat.

"It's for training so it's a deal," Naruko said shaking Asuma's hand.

"Now for wind you have to think thin and sharp. When you apply your chakra fold it and make it as thin as you can," Asuma advised.

"I see that makes sense, but what can wind type be used for Kakashi said it's the best type for me?" Naruko asked.

"Good question. It is mostly used to enhance the cutting ability of your weapons," Asuma answered.

"Wait why? Surely that won't make too much of a difference sure your weapon will be sharper but," Naruko asked wondering why.

"Another good question. The sharpest weapon will always win and will render most defenses if not all useless as the piercing power is greatly increased. Here take this and throw it has hard as you can at this tree," Asuma said while hand Naruko his weapon and point to the tree.

"Are you sure I should throw it as hard as I can? I don't want to break this, it's quite the cool blade," Naruko said admiring the blade but scared that she might break it.

The blade was a small thick curved blade making it like a dagger but the handle and blade was one piece. The handle had holes in it and a pointed side making it look like a knuckle-duster.

"Don't worry that blade is made from a special metal that allows to channel your chakra through it easier and makes it more effective," Asuma explained.

"All the more reason why I doubt I should throw as hard as I can," Naruko asked still a bit worried.

"If you break it I will forgo the deal and let you have the tip for free," Asuma said confidently.

"If you say so," Naruko still sceptical about this.

Naruko cocked her arm back and then through it hard at the tree. What happened next left Team Ten with their jaws on the ground even Shikamaru had his on the ground. When Naruko through it at the blade went straight through the tree and the three behind it before it lodge itself to the handle in the fourth tree.

"Wow that's quite the awesome blade sensei!" Naruko said amazed at how far the blade went.

Every other blade Naruko through like that could only pass through one tree and not even stick into the second. This one went through three and went quite deep into the fourth.

"Right that wasn't supposed to happen," Asuma said dumfounded.

"What was supposed to happen?" Naruko asked confused thinking she did something wrong.

"Well you were supposed to throw it and it would remain in the first tree. Then I was going to throw the other one with my wind chakra and have it sail through the tree effortlessly," Asuma said still staring at the tree.

"Naruko how hard did you throw it?" Ino asked coming out her stupor state.

"Well to be honest I through it fairly hard but not at my full strength because I doubted that the blade wouldn't break," Naruko said while rubbing the back of her head.

Team Ten just dropped face first into the ground and laid there with a sweat drop on their heads. Getting back up Asuma shook his head trying to figure out if she was lying or telling the truth.

"Even more so why wind type is the best for you. If you can already throw it like that when you add wind chakra, pretty sure ten trees wouldn't stop the blade," Asuma said still partly dumfounded.

"Wow really that's awesome!" Naruko cheered.

Asuma quickly fetched his blade to see if it's still intact. Asuma return with a sigh of relief showing Naruko the blade. The blade was still in perfect shape though might be a bit blunt from the throw.

"Wow that's one tough blade I can't count the number for kunais and shurikens I've broken throwing them like that," Naruko said amazed to which Team Ten just sweat-dropped at this again.

"Well it looks like you still owe my team dinner so better pay up soon," Asuma said still happy that his blade is still fine.

"A promise is a promise and I don't take back my words," Naruko said proudly with a grin.

"So there is a tip for you come back later for more tips right now I have a team to train," Asuma said with an evil grin scaring his team.

"Thank you I shall see you around then," Naruko said before dispelling the clone in a poof of smoke confusing Ino and Chouji.

"Kage bunshin? When did she learn that?" Shikamaru asked surprised.

"Tou-san must have taught her that and it looks like she figured out how to use it properly," Asuma said also surprised.

"How does a bunshin help?" Ino asked.

"It's not a normal bunshin. That bunshin has a physical form and shape and the user learns what the bunshin learns," Asuma explained.

"Wow that's cool can we learn that jutsu?" Ino asked.

"Nope sorry it's a kinjutsu and with the amount of chakra you have it would kill you if you used it to make a single bunshin," Asuma said.

"How much chakra does she have?" Ino asked wondering seeing that Naruko can make one.

"No idea and from what I hear from Kakashi, Naruko can make a thousand of them effortlessly," Asuma said still not believing this.

All three genin were very surprised by this though Shikamaru and Chouji not as much as they know from experience how much stamina Naruko has.

"Surely he is just bluffing there is no way she can make that many," Ino said not believing it at all.

"I'm not sure Kakashi isn't the one to lie or brag about anything," Asuma said knowing Kakashi.

"I believe it, she is a stamina freak ask Chouji he has seen her go," Shikamaru said agreeing with Asuma to which Chouji nodded to Ino confirming what Shikamaru has said is true.

Ino still didn't quite believe this though wasn't sure as Shikamaru also isn't one to lie about these things.


-Training ground 7-

When the bunshin popped all the Naruko's stopped what they were doing before a grin grew on their faces and going back to work.

'Looks like Naruko is using the kage bunshin to its full potential, she will learn things like this at an alarming rate. We may just have another Kiiroi Senkō,' thought Kakashi seeing all the Naruko get the tip from Asuma.

Over the next week Team Seven trained hard. The morning would be fitness and strength training. Afterwards for an hour they would do chakra control exercises though under more stressful situations like dodging shurikens from Kakashi or get chased by dogs and if they stopped they got chewed on.

Then for the rest of the day they would focus on seishitsu henka training. When Sakura and Sasuke eventually come for tips they tripped seeing the hundreds upon hundreds of Narukos. Kakashi explained to them about Naruko's training method.

Sasuke being Sasuke asked but in a more demanding tone if he could learn the kage bunshin. Kakashi said he would but he would only be able to use two to three bunshins max as it will leave him several drained.

Sasuke was able to make a dozen and still function normally but could only manage two bunshins for the seishitsu henka training. Sasuke wasn't too happy about it but made do with what he had. This also really made him question as to the amount of chakra Naruko had.

When he had asked Kakashi how it was possible for Naruko to have so much Kakashi replied that it partly had to do with her being a hanyou. Sasuke asked what the other part was but was told he would have to wait till after the chūnin exams.

Sasuke nodded knowing not to pry on it any further as it seems to be quite the touchy subject. With Naruko using her bunshins she completed the training on the sixth day while Sasuke was getting close and should be done within the next week.

Sakura was also getting close though would still be another two weeks she predicted. Sakura didn't have the kage bunshin but her grand control of chakra really helped her a lot. Naruko was made to try and cut the leaf as quickly as she can on the seventh day.

The next day Yamato had made a waterfall surprising Team Seven except for Kakashi. The genin had learnt that Yamato could use mokuton jutsus as he made a wooden beam for Naruko to stand on. Kakashi had explained that Naruko must now cut the waterfall in half horizontally.

Naruko had made about a hundred bunshins but when asked if Yamato could make the waterfall wider he said he would do that in a few days as it takes a lot out of him. Naruko complied and went on trying to cut the waterfall.

At the end of the week Naruko was getting close to cutting the waterfall but noted that it would take longer. Sasuke had completed his training and then was told to make a special chakra resistance paper into a ball.

Sasuke instantly noticed how much harder it was to channel his chakra through the paper let alone make it into a ball. Sakura not wanting to get left behind had asked Yamato for some tips. These tips allowed Sakura to increase the rate at which she got the hang of trying to make the whole leaf covered in water.

For the last week Team Seven had their weights increased to 40kg for both Sasuke and Sakura while Naruko's increased to 215kg. Sakura had to use her chakra to be able to cope with the amount of weight she had on her. Sasuke also had to but not as much as Sakura.

Halfway through the week Naruko had cut the waterfall in half and did it a few times to make sure. Kakashi had then told Naruko that she had mastered wind seishitsu henka. Naruko had then started with fire seishitsu henka but the first few times she cut the leaf instead of turning it to ash.

Naruko slowly started making the leaf turn to ash but still cut it a bit every time. Getting annoyed Naruko went to Kakashi for help. Kakashi saw Naruko heading towards him while trying to turn the leaf into ash.

"Kakashi-sensei, why do I keep on cutting the leaf while it I try and turn it to ash?" Naruko asked slightly annoyed.

"Here do it again so I can see," Kakashi asked while handing Naruko another leaf.

Naruko took the leaf, covered it between her hands and channeled her chakra into it for a few seconds. When she removed her hand that was on top she saw that the leaf's bottom half as ash while the top half and a cut almost straight through it.

"Hmmm, here place each leaf in each hand and do it again," Kakashi said handing Naruko two leaves this time.

Naruko shrugged before taking the leaves and placing one in each hand. Naruko channeled her chakra to both leaves and was surprised as to what happened. The leaf in her right hand completely turned to ash while the one in her left was cut in to many pieces basically shredding the leaf apart.

"As I thought the first thing is that you where channeling chakra through both your hands like you would with wind. With fire you only need one hand. The second thing confirms my theory you have kekkei genkai. You are able to combine both fire and wind," Kakashi explained.

"There was one either person I knew who could combine these two her name was Pakura from Sunagakure though I don't think yours will be the same as her shakuton," Kakashi continued, remembering the stories of Pakura and the trail of mummies she left in her wake.

"Awesome, so if it's not shakuton that what would it be?" Naruko asked happy that she as a kekkei genkai.

"Hmmm not sure enton maybe, will have to find out what you can do with it," Kakashi said not sure on this as it's a rare combination.

"To stop you from cutting it up at the same time only use one hand and think heat and vibrations or movement," Kakashi advised.

Naruko nodded and quickly did as told by taking a leaf and using one hand to channel chakra into the leaf. Within seconds the leaf turned into ash.

"Well it looks like you've completed this part. Now turn this into ash," Kakashi said handing him a stack of paper.

"It's a special chakra resistance paper. Turn that into ash and you will have mastered fire seishitsu henka," Kakashi said explaining what the paper is for seeing the confusion on Naruko's face.

"For this exercise only use three additional bunshins as I don't have a lot of that kind of paper," Kakashi said knowing Naruko would want to spam kage bunshins for the exercise.

"If you really need to, have the rest of your bunshins try to turn a rock into ash," Kakashi continued.

Naruko thanked Kakashi before heading off. Sakura had just arrived saying she completed the first exercise. Kakashi told her to find a log and to make the entire log covered with water and when she did that move on to a bigger log until she can cover one as big as her.

At the end of the week Kakashi had gathered his team at the end of the day to explain a few more things. Seeing his team sitting under a tree Kakashi walked to them.

"Right we have had a hard month of training. As I can't completely stop you from doing missions for too long we will start with D-ranked missions again. You will have to continue your seishitsu henka training in your own time. Dismissed," Kakashi explained.

With a few moans and groans the three genin headed home.


-Later that night inside the seal-

"Hey Kurama," Naruko greeted tiredly while sitting and making herself comfortable against Kurama.

"Hey, so how was your month of training with Kakashi?" Kurama asked while covering half of Naruko with one of his tails.

"It was hard but awesome. Wouldn't have it anyway," Naruko replied while hugging and snuggling into Kurama's tail.

"Kurama do you have any other jutsus besides the one you showed me?" Naruko asked.

"Yes I have plenty mostly fire ones not so much wind. I shall so you them tomorrow when you train," Kurama replied more than happy to show her some.

"Is it possible to say cover my entire body with either wind or fire or both using my chakra?" Naruko asked wondering if she could hope it would do what she was hoping it would do.

"Either one yes it is. The Raikage from Kumogakure covers his body with lightning chakra increasing his speed, reflexes, defensive and offensive capabilities. But both I don't know, never seen or heard of someone doing that," Kurama replied.

"Awesome I think I will start on trying to do that next," Naruko said happy that it was possible.

"Hey Kurama I was thinking is it possible to open this cage?" Naruko asked wondering if she could open the cage.

"You are but you need the key for it, you will have to ask the old man if he knows where the key is. Though before you do that you need to defeat you evil self as you will lose control of yourself," Kurama explained quite surprised at Naruko asking about opening the cage.

"Defeat my evil self? How do I do that," Naruko asked not having a clue on how to do that.

"I can send you deep into your conscious where you will have to face yourself. Only you alone can do that I can't help you. I can only send you there. We shall start this within a week so you and I have time to prepare," Kurama explained.

"Is that fine as that is when it will be a new moon?" Naruko asked not sure about the timing.

"All the more reason as you will be fully human and will be less influenced from you demon half and both of you will not have your demon powers," Kurama explained.

"I see. Well then goodnight Kurama," Naruko said before falling asleep.

"Night kit," Kurama said before going off to sleep himself.


-Next day-

*Tap Tap Tap*

"Hmmph…"

*Tap Tap Tap*

"Hmmm Kakashi? What are you doing here so early," Naruko asked slowly sitting up while rubbing her eyes before stretching.

"Get ready quickly you have been personally requested by the Hi no Kuni Daimyō," Kakashi explained seriously.

"…"

"…"

"WHAT!"


End of Chapter 8.

And so the end of chapter 8 and the start of another arc. The Daimyou asking for Naruko personally what could this mean? Wait and find out.

Team Seven have started their seishitsu henka training. It may seem that they figured it out quickly compare to the so called years it is supposed to take them. Sasuke is a genius, Sakura is also quite smart and has almost perfect control of her chakra and Naruko is smarter and has the kage bunshin to help.

Revealed a kekkei genkai for Naruko, not sure as to what to call it yet as scorch and blaze release already exist within the manga. Blaze (enton) being what Sasuke uses during the fourth shinobi war and Pakura uses the scorch (shakuton) release.

Naruko will have two kekkei genkais. The second one won't be reveal for a few chapters. One is natural while the other is a gift from her tails.

Who will win between Hinata and Sasuke I don't know they are neck in neck. Though hope Sasuke will win, wanted Shikamaru but oh well. Please remember that the poll will close shortly before the chūnin exam arc as certain parings will affect the story line.

RoseeAnn: Reason why I used fire as it comes from Kurama and her tail, though she will still have ok water control. Reason?
