Chapter 12
Naruko was nervous very nervous she had just spent the last hour getting ready for her date that was in a few minutes. Her pacing around was starting to annoy Sakura.
"Calm down Naruko he will be here," Sakura said trying to calm down Naruko.
"Yea I know I'm just worried I might do something stupid or embarrassing or…"
"Naruko you will be fine, just be yourself. You have nothing to fear," Sakura said standing in front of Naruko to stop her pacing.
*knock* *knock*
"He is here. Go on, go answer the door," Sakura said hearing the knock on the door.
Naruko nodded before slowing making her towards the door. Looking back Naruko saw Sakura give one last nod before turning back to face the door. Naruko took a deep breath before opening the door.
Sasuke gasped lightly when the door opened. Naruko was still wearing her normal clothes just except that her hair was down not in the usual ponytail. Sasuke blushed he hasn't seen Naruko with her hair down yet and honestly thought she looked prettier with it down.
"Hey Naru-chan, ready to go?" Sasuke asked still blushing slightly.
"H-Hai," Naruko replied blushing a bit herself.
"Let us go then," Sasuke said holding out his arm.
Naruko nodded while interlinking her arm with Sasuke's before heading out for their date.
Naruko and Sasuke walked around the village for a few minutes talking mostly about how life in Suna seems different to Konoha. Shortly afterwards they arrived at the carnival they found earlier that day.
"Oh wow," Naruko gasped looking at the carnival lights and decorations.
"It's beautiful," Naruko said softly admiring the carnival.
"Yea it is," Sasuke said also admiring the carnival.
For the next few hours Naruko and Sasuke went from store to store, buying food treats here and there. Playing any and all games they came across. At one of the games Sasuke had won a small fluffy red toy fox and gave it to Naruko.
"Aww it's so cute," Naruko squealed tightly hugging the small fox.
"Thank you, I really love it," Naruko thanked Sasuke.
"Pleasure. I thought you would like it," Sasuke replied with a smile, happy that Naruko loved the gift.
"Oh it's nearly time, come they starting the fireworks soon," Sasuke said grabbing Naruko by the hand and leading her somewhere.
Naruko blushed when she realised Sasuke was holding her hand. Naruko just followed Sasuke having no clue as to where they were going. They both ran for a few minutes before Sasuke came up to a building.
Naruko yelped and instinctively put her arms around Sasuke's neck when he picked her up and held her bridal style. With a deeply blushing Naruko in his arms Sasuke jumped and quickly scaled the wall of the building.
When Sasuke reached the top he walked to the edge on the opposite side and gently placed Naruko back on her feet. Letting go of Sasuke still with a blush on her face Naruko turned to where Sasuke was looking.
Naruko instantly lost her blush and froze while her eyes widened and she silently gasped at the view she was presented with. Naruko was able to see the entire carnival, they were in line with the main wide road of the carnival.
They both could see all the lights, decorations and all the people wondering around from store to store. They could hear the slight vibe of mummers and laughter coming from the carnival.
"I saw this spot when we first found the carnival earlier today. I wondered what the view would be like from here," Sasuke said after a few minutes of silence from admiring the view.
"It's… it's beautiful. Thank you Sasuke-kun this is really amazing," Naruko said softly, eyes still wide and looking at the view.
"Yea it is amazing. Wait here I'll be back in a few seconds," Sasuke said before quickly jumping back down the building.
Naruko walked until she was right on the edge still looking at the view. When she heard footsteps she turned and saw Sasuke holding a basket. Sasuke walked to where Naruko was and put the basket down before taking out a blanket and placing it down.
A bit of the blanket hanged over the edge of the building. Naruko sat down with her legs also hanging over the edge while Sasuke emptied the basket. Sasuke had brought some snacks and cool drinks with.
He placed them a bit behind them before sitting down next to Naruko letting his legs swing back and forth over the edge. A minute later they both saw lanterns raising high towards the sky. Both gasped at the sight of the lanterns.
"Wonder what the occasion is?" Naruko asked.
"Not sure, I didn't ask though am quite curious," Sasuke replied.
The lanterns continued to sail into the sky for around fifteen minutes before disappearing from view. The first firework went off in the sky shortly afterwards bringing a smile to both Naruko and Sasuke.
"Wow," Naruko gasped.
Naruko had never since fireworks before. She has heard them go off but never bothered to look as they only went off on the day of her birthday, the worst possible day for something so beautiful.
"It really is something else," Sasuke commented also finding it very beautiful. This time it seems more beautiful to him than all the other times he had seen them even with his family.
Sasuke gasped Naruko's hand soon after the fireworks started going off. Naruko blushed before tightening her grip and wrapping a few of her tails around Sasuke's waist. They both sat like that for a long while even after the fireworks had finished.
A few minutes after the fireworks had stopped Naruko rested her head on Sasuke's shoulder while both sat there in a comfortable silence. Sasuke looked at Naruko while placing a hand on her head and rubbing it softly.
Hearing Naruko purr softly Sasuke continued to rub her head softly. Naruko closed her eyes enjoying the affection while her purring increased in volume slightly.
"You're really cute when you purr," Sasuke said making Naruko blush deeply.
"T-Thank y-you," Naruko thanked softly feeling a little embarrassed.
After a few minutes remaining of sitting in comfortable silence Naruko started to feel tired and yawned. Sasuke seeing this picked up Naruko, giving her a piggyback ride. Naruko smiled when she felt herself being picked up and wrapped her arms and tails around Sasuke.
Sasuke jumped down the building leaving a bunshin to clean up.
'Glad she took her weights off, don't think I could have carried her with them on,' Sasuke thought not wanting to try and carry her with them on.
'I can barely handle 40kgs a piece but 215kg a piece is nuts,' Sasuke thought trying to imagine him with a thousand kilograms weighting him down.
Eventually Sasuke and Naruko reached their hotel for the week. Walking into their room Sasuke saw that both Kakashi and Sakura were not there and must be already sleeping. Sasuke stopped in front of the door that leads to Naruko's room and gently let her down.
"Thank you Sasuke-kun that was the best time of my life. I really had fun," Naruko thanked softly looking into Sasuke's eyes.
"Glad that you had a great time. You're not the only one who had the best time of their life," Sasuke replied looking back into Naruko's eyes.
"So ummm what now? Are we boyfriend and girlfriend?" Sasuke asked not to sure as to what happens.
"I honestly don't know, I guess so," Naruko replied also having no clue.
"How about we have another date when we get back and go from there?" Sasuke suggested.
"Sure I would love that," Naruko replied.
"I guess I will see you in the morning then?" Sasuke said while rubbing the back of his head.
"Yea see you in the morning," Naruko said opening her door starting to walk in.
"Sasuke-kun?" Naruko called turning around and facing Sasuke.
"Yea? Need anything?" Sasuke asked turning around to face Naruko.
Naruko quickly made her way to Sasuke and brought him in to a tight hug also using her tails to wrap them together.
"N-Naruko?" Sasuke asked a bit confused while blushing.
"Good night Sasuke-kun," Naruko said softly getting comfortable with the hug.
"Good night Naru-chan," Sasuke greeted back returning the hug.
"And thank you," Naruko thanked before ending the hug and heading into her room.
Sasuke watched Naruko enter her room with a smile on his face. Sasuke stood there for a few minutes staring at the door before coming back to reality and heading for his room feeling very happy inside.
Naruko didn't fall asleep right away as she spent sometime in the seal talking to Kurama about her date and how much she enjoyed it. Kurama smiled through the whole ordeal extremely happy for her.
Though Kurama silently vowed to find the best way to slowly and painfully kill the Uchiha should he ever break Naruko's heart. He will show no mercy to anyone who would break her heart, be it the Uchiha or anyone else.
-Next day-
Naruko slowly woke up from the best sleep she ever had. Naruko had never slept so soundly before. Naruko felt a lot more energetic this morning than she had ever been. Sakura wasn't too impressed as she still wanted to get some sleep.
After having a shower and getting dressed in a fresh set of clothes Naruko left her room and saw Kakashi sitting on the couch and reading his orange book. Naruko rolled her eyes as he was forever reading that book.
"Ohayō Kakashi-nii," Naruko greeted happily walking past Kakashi and getting something to eat.
'Nii? She hasn't called me that since graduation day. She seems a lot happier than normal, must have gone well last night,' Kakashi though hearing Naruko call her Kakashi-nii.
"Ohayō Naru-chan, I presume everything went well last night?" Kakashi asked slightly curious about last night.
"Yip, it was the best time ever," Naruko happily replied blushing a bit at the memory while sitting on the couch, crossing her legs, across from Kakashi.
"Good to hear, must have been a good time seeing you're like this," Kakashi said while still reading his book.
"Ohayō Kakashi-sensei, Naru-chan," Sasuke greeted appearing from behind Naruko.
Naruko's ears perked up before turning her head around.
"Sasuke-kun," Naruko replied happily while her tails happily waved from side to side.
"Sleep well?" Sasuke asked looking down at Naruko.
"Very and you?" Naruko replied back.
"Yip, thanks," Sasuke replied, he had slept well but took him awhile to calm down enough to get to sleep.
Soon after Sasuke finished eating Sakura walked through her door looking like a zombie.
"Ohayō," she greeted tiredly while dragging her feet to the kitchen.
"Well someone didn't sleep well," Naruko commented seeing the zombie like Sakura with her hair being all over the place making bad hair days look like it's a perfect hair day.
"What happened to you?" Naruko asked.
"Training," Sakura replied while heading to the couch with a bowl of cereal in her hands.
"Training?" Naruko raised her eyebrow while watching Sakura sit next to her.
"Yea I asked Kakashi to help me with some training yesterday after you left. Had me do the full fitness routine before making me do it again while trying to get rocks to stick to my forehead," Sakura groaned.
"I think I have sand in places I never knew I had," Sakura continued groaning.
"As soon as Sakura here finishes getting ready you will be training again. After the normal part Naruko you will continue with your kaze no yoroi, Sasuke with that jutsu I taught you," Kakashi said making Naruko perk up a bit at the jutsu Kakashi taught Sasuke.
"Jutsu, what did Kakashi-nii teach you?" Naruko asked hoping she might get to learn it.
Sasuke looked to Kakashi who nodded giving him permission to say what it was.
"It's Kakashi's original jutsu Chidori. It's a Raiton jutsu, you saw him use it when he killed Haku with it," Sasuke explained.
"Oh that jutsu, the one which made Kakashi-nii look like he was holding lightning?" Naruko said remembering the jutsu.
"Yes that one, though I don't think I or Kakashi will teach it to you," Sasuke said a bit sad that he might not be able to teach Naruko it.
"Wait why?" Naruko asked, sad that she won't learn a new jutsu even though she knows a fair few thanks to Kurama.
"You definitely have the speed required for it but that speed is what will be your downfall. It's a jutsu that needs the Sharingan to help co-ordinate with it."
"This is because the speed you will be moving at will prevent you from seeing and reacting to counterattacks to the jutsu," Kakashi explained.
"Wait so you mean the tunnel vision effect?" Naruko asked.
"Yes those without the Sharingan will suffer from tunnel vision while using the jutsu," Kakashi confirmed.
"Well if that is the problem than I won't need to worry about it, I don't suffer from tunnel vision. The only thing I might suffer from is reaction time," Naruko said while remembering that she's never suffered from tunnel vision even at her top speed.
"I won't teach it to you unless you can get you reaction down to lowest time possible even then if I am not happy with it I won't teach it to you," Kakashi said. Naruko nodded sadly but understanding Kakashi's reason.
"Besides you already have your kaze no yoroi which as the same effect as Chidori and the way you have mastered the transformation part, it might be even more powerful than Chidori," Kakashi said trying to cheer up Naruko a bit.
Naruko was surprised to hear that. She really didn't know the full extent of the power of her kaze no yoroi.
For the next three days Team Seven trained a bit harder than usual as Kakashi said that the chūnin exams are a month away. Kakashi increased Naruko's weights from 215kg to 230kg a piece and both Sasuke's and Sakura's from 40kg to 55kg.
Sakura thinking that because she had already did fitness training last night thought that she wouldn't have to do it this morning. Never had she been more wrong she was forced to do it again while still trying to get rocks to stick to her forehead.
Soon after Kakashi had Sakura running up and down the village wall from top to bottom while she still had to get rocks to stick to her forehead. By the end of the day Naruko had to carry a passed out Sakura back to the hotel.
Halfway through the second day Naruko had finally managed to cover her entire body including all five tails with her kaze no yoroi. Kakashi said that for the rest of the day she may continue or start with her lightning seishitsu henka training.
By the end of the day Naruko had mastered the first step which Sasuke said that she now had to make the chakra resistance paper into a ball just like with the leaf. Lucky Naruko had brought a lot of leaves with her as Suna didn't have a single leaf anywhere.
Once again Naruko had to carry back a passed out Sakura back to the hotel who didn't even wake up for supper. Sasuke still hadn't mastered Chidori yet, Kakashi said it would take a month before he could get it right.
During the third day Naruko was told to keep her kaze no yoroi active the entire training routine. Naruko thinking that it would make her training easier gave Kakashi a confused look. Kakashi slapped a piece of paper, with strange symbols on it, onto Naruko's arm.
"Kakashi-nii?" Naruko asked looking at the paper very confused now, Sasuke was also curious while Sakura was too tired to care.
"Resistance seal, makes it nearly impossible for your body to move. You will be doing you training with that and your kaze no yoroi on. The seal is to stop your jutsu from making it easier to move."
"Your jutsu will be active so you can get used to it being active allowing your body to get accustomed to it. This will allow you to refine the amount of chakra you will need to keep the jutsu running," Kakashi explained while making a half Tora hand seal and activating the seal.
Naruko instantly felt the effects and battled to get her hands in the Tora seal to active her kaze no yoroi.
"One more thing, if your jutsu drops you will restart today's whole training routine from the beginning and will not return until you do the whole routine without dropping the jutsu once."
"When you get to your lightning seishitsu henka training you can figure out how to train while still keeping your jutsu active. The earlier rule still applies so if you drop it during your lightning seishitsu henka training you will start again, starting with the fitness training again," Kakashi explained with a clear grin that could be seen through his mask.
Naruko had to restart her training quite a few times. Once she had just started her lightning seishitsu henka training but then dropped her jutsu so had to start from the beginning again.
Naruko was starting to get annoyed but Sakura got her to calm down saying that getting angry or annoyed will only make it harder to concentrate. Sasuke had to carry a passed out Sakura back to the hotel this time as Naruko still wasn't finished with her training.
Kakashi remained behind to keep an eye on Naruko in case she too passed out. Kakashi was expecting her to pass out anytime soon now. Naruko had ended up doing seven full fitness training sessions.
Both Naruko and Kakashi had lost count of how many times she had to restart during her fitness training session. Naruko finally managed to do her lightning seishitsu henka training for the three full hours required. Naruko dropped her jutsu before walking to Kakashi.
On the way to Kakashi Naruko stumbled and would of fallen face first but Kakashi caught her. Naruko landed on Kakashi's back who ended up giving Naruko a piggyback ride back to the hotel.
Shortly before arriving at the hotel Naruko had fallen asleep.
'So she does have her limit. This might be the only way to get her much stronger from now on. She needs to surpass her limits she has only been reaching them for the past few months,' Kakashi though no doubt going to increase her training to a much higher level.
-Next day-
Naruko woke up slowly while releasing a few groans and moans. Sakura was already awake getting changed into fresh clothes.
"Wow know I know how you feel," Naruko groaned while holding her head and shaking it.
"So the stamina freak does run out of stamina, that makes me feel slightly better," Sakura said a bit surprised to see Naruko extremely tired from training or anything for that matter.
"Yea I don't think I have ever passed out from training so hard," Naruko said getting up before heading to shower.
"You lucky…" Sakura said but choosing not to complete her sentence knowing how sensitive Naruko's hearing is.
"Yea yea," Naruko shouted through the door proving Sakura's point.
When they got to the training ground Naruko headed to the base of the wall and sat in the shade starting to feel the effects of the new moon.
"Naruko?" Sasuke called running to Naruko seeing her slump down.
"Sasuke-kun I'm fine. It must be new moon in a few minutes," Naruko said feeling her strength leave her.
"For today Naruko you can just rest here as much as you can. The rest continue with your training," Kakashi said before taking a seat next to Naruko while reading his book.
"How you feeling?" Kakashi asked.
"Weak. I can feel my strength leaving me," Naruko said in a tired voice.
"I see well take it easy," Kakashi said while removing Naruko's weights.
"Oh thanks I forgot about those," Naruko thanked feeling her weights being removed.
"Sure. I don't think it's a good idea to keep them on while you're like this," Kakashi said while putting the weights in a sealing scroll.
About two hours later after Sasuke and Sakura had completed their fitness training they both went to check if Naruko was alright. When they got there they saw Naruko's breathing rate start to increase.
Shortly afterwards her breathing returned to normal while her body seemed to shrink slightly. Naruko's ears disappeared into her head along with her tails shrinking in size before completely disappearing.
Naruko's claw like nails retracted and started to look like normal human nails. Her canines could be seen shrinking to the normal size of a human's canines. Her hair remained the same length though what happened next shock Team Seven.
Her hair colour seems to change like it was fading in colour before turning a orange red colour along with her eyebrows. When Naruko opened her eyes Team Seven could see them changing.
Her eyes turned into a slightly greenish blue colour while her pupils became circular in shape. This confused Kakashi greatly as he expected her hair and eyes to return to the colour they used to be before Naruko was turned into a hanyou.
'Red hair? Green eyes? What's going on she had blue eyes and yellow hair before her transformation. Looking at her now, if it weren't for her whisker birthmarks and the slight orange tint in her hair one would think she was her mother,' Kakashi thought still rather confused.
'Naruko has red hair?' both Sasuke and Sakura thought at the same time seeing the red hair.
"Hey guys, what's with the looks you giving me," Naruko asked in a tired voice.
"I didn't know you had red hair or is it orange can't quite tell," Sakura said thinking that Naruko actually looks prettier with the orange red hair.
"Huh red hair? What do you mean," Naruko said not feeling as week as she did earlier.
Sakura pulled out a mirror and handed it to Naruko. Naruko looked into the mirror and saw that her hair was an orangey red colour though red being more prominent. Naruko was surprised she didn't think that her hair would change.
"So I do have red hair. Wow it's pretty," Naruko admiring her new hair colour.
'Hey Kurama why do I have red hair?' Naruko asked Kurama.
"I don't know kit, you had yellow blond hair before you changed into a hanyou. The change might have made one of you parents genes stronger than the other," Kurama thought recognising that hair anywhere.
"I heard that the hanyou transformation is like being reborn but I didn't think they meant literally," Kurama added.
"Hmm I still feel weak and a bit drained but not as bad as I was earlier," Naruko said standing up and fumbling a bit.
"That may be so but still, you should still take it easy," Kakashi said not wanting her to do anything drastic.
"Kakashi's right you should take it easy and sit down for a while," Sasuke said catching Naruko and pushing her back down so she can sit.
Naruko sighed and complied while letting Sasuke sit her down.
"This doing nothing is going to drive me made soon," Naruko said with a sigh while crossing her arms.
"Get used to it, maybe we should send you to Shikamaru for lessons," Kakashi said going back to reading is book.
Naruko just huffed before entering the seal.
"Hey Kurama you said that this was the perfect time to defeat my evil self, can we do it now or should we wait for the next new moon," Naruko asked.
"When to do it is up to you, we can do it now if you want. I have no idea how long this will take so if you choose to do it let Kakashi now," Kurama replied.
Naruko nodded before leaving the seal.
"Hey Kakashi-nii there is something I need to do. I will be trying to defeat my evil self, I don't know how long it will take," Naruko said turning to face Kakashi.
"Evil self? Ok be careful, you sure this is safe?" Kakashi asked partly understanding what Naruko asked.
"Yea Kyūbi says nothing will happen and if I lose I will just have to try again until I get it right," Naruko replied.
"I presume the new moon as something to do with this?" Kakashi asked as the timing couldn't be a coincidence.
"Only that it will make it easier to defeat my evil self," Naruko said while nodding.
"I see. Good luck and see you when you wake up," Kakashi said.
"Thanks and be sure to take good care of my body. Don't do anything too naughty I don't think Sasuke will like you doing something with it. Though please do tell Sasuke-kun he is more than welcome to," Naruko said seductively giving Kakashi a small nosebleed at the thought.
Naruko relaxed her body before entering the seal again.
"I take your returning is saying that you're going to attempt it." Kurama said seeing Naruko return.
"Hai I'm ready. Any last tips?" Naruko asked sitting herself in the lotus position.
"Just be yourself and don't let what she says get to you," Kurama said giving a last piece of advice.
Naruko closed her eyes for a few minutes before opening them again after hearing the usual seal's ambient noise come to an end. Naruko saw that she was in a similar place as the seal just without the walls and the cage.
"So you finally came to meet me," a voice said from behind Naruko.
Naruko quickly turned around setting herself in a stance.
"So you're my evil self," Naruko said seeing a replica of her.
"Though you look like my normal self," Naruko commented seeing a minor difference.
Her replica had her usual gold blond hair and had gold eyes instead of her usual blue.
"Evil self? No no, I am your true self," the evil Naruko said in a sweet seductive voice.
"True self? What do you mean?" Naruko asked.
"Why, don't you remember what happened outside Tazuna's house?" said the evil Naruko.
"That was you? You made me kill them all in cold blood?" Naruko asked with wide eyes.
"Made you kill them. You have that wrong that was your deepest desire, to kill them slowly and painfully while smiling and laughing throughout it all," evil Naruko said with a giggle.
"You're wrong I would never desire that," Naruko shot back.
"No point trying to lie to me I know everything about you, your every thought is my own just a little more open," evil Naruko laughed.
"More open? How is that more open, you're just sick," Naruko said a bit disgusted.
"You and I are more alike than you realise," evil Naruko replied while circling around Naruko.
"I am nothing like you," Naruko shot back harshly.
"Say whatever keeps you asleep at night. So why are you here? No doubt to 'defeat me'," evil Naruko said rolling her eyes at the end.
"Yes I'm here to defeat you and get rid of you," Naruko said with a grin.
"You can never get rid of me for I am you. When I take control of you I am going to have some fun," evil Naruko said licking her lips with a hungry look in her eyes.
"Don't give me that look, surely you have thought about it," evil Naruko said seeing the look Naruko gave her.
"Thought about what?" Naruko asked.
"Oh come now, you should know? Don't you just want to ride that Uchiha cock till you pass out and more? Let yourself feel what it's like to slip that warm cock in you? What it's like to feel full while connected to him?"
"And to feel him spray his love all over you, in all of you? Give him the ride of his life?" evil Naruko said seductively while releasing a few moans in between.
Naruko face went completely red at the rather descriptive fantasy.
"Don't also want to give that pink haired girl a try? Your tails can be quite useful you know? I'm sure that girl would love, even beg, to let you keep her suspended in the air while you full and ravage all of her holes," evil Naruko continued while the real Naruko's face got redder by the second.
Naruko had to admit she did find herself turned on slightly making her wonder if she is straight or into other girls. Naruko frantically shaking her head tried to clear it from all the rather erotic images.
"Hmmm I wonder what Shikamaru-kun could do with that kage jutsu of his, maybe make a few more fun toys. Even Kiba and his pet could give us some fun," evil Naruko continued while imagining all the scenarios in her head.
Naruko's face went a deeper shade of red though was rather disgusted by the idea of going at it with Akamaru.
"I'm guessing you blushing hard like that means you're wanting to give a try?" evil Naruko asked with a smirk.
"N-n-no I don't," Naruko said frantically shaking her head.
"Spoil sport," evil Naruko said while pouting.
"Or maybe we can have a go?" the evil Naruko said appearing in front of Naruko and groping her breasts with both hands.
Naruko gasped silently at the sudden spark of pleasure. Quickly hitting evil Naruko's hand away Naruko jumped back getting some distance between the two.
"Don't deny you didn't like that. I know I would," evil Naruko said licking her lips again.
"Enough I am here to end this," Naruko said firmly before charging in towards the evil Naruko.
The two traded blows not being able to land a hit on each other. Both were able to easily predict each other's moves and counterattacks. Naruko through a right hook shortly followed by a left uppercut. The evil Naruko easily dodged the hook and uppercut.
As soon as Naruko's left hand past the evil Naruko's head, she twisted her hand around and grabbed the evil Naruko's head before pushing it down. Naruko stepped back a bit before pulling her right knee up trying to knee the evil Naruko in the face while pulling her face down.
The evil Naruko used both of her hands and easily blocked the attack. Using her strength the evil Naruko shoved Naruko's leg back down before continuing her momentum letting her hands rest on the ground and doing a hand stand.
The evil Naruko brought her legs up from behind her letting one continue forward aiming to hit Naruko's shoulder, using her momentum from the hand stand to pass into her leg. Naruko reacting quickly grabbed the leg before turning and using the evil Naruko's momentum against her.
Naruko through the evil Naruko over her shoulder close to around twenty metres in front of her. The evil Naruko sailed through the air head first while waiting for her speed to slow down. With her speed slow enough the evil Naruko twisted in mid-air so she was facing up before arching her back backwards landing on her hands.
The evil Naruko used her momentum and did several reverse summersaults, her hands landing on the ground after every flip, before gracefully landing on her feet and skidding back a few inches and coming to a stand still.
Naruko returned to her stance before trying to think up something that will let her beat this 'cheap knock off' as Naruko put it.
'How can I beat her? She knows all of my moves and tricks just as well as I know hers. Neither of us can land a hit. Might be able to tire her out but I might end up tiring myself out as well,' Naruko thought not being able to come up with a solution.
'She no doubt will be able to use all of my jutsus, so that is definitely a no go,' Naruko continued her thought and happy that the evil Naruko hasn't made a move yet.
"You can't beat me, I know your every move, trick, abilities the works I know all of it," the evil Naruko blurted out.
"You're in the same boat as me, you're not the only one that knows everything," Naruko replied back, proving her earlier point.
'If she really is my other half than I wonder how she feels?' Naruko suddenly thought sadly.
'She must be no doubt just as lonely as I was and probably still is," Naruko continued to think sadly.
The evil Naruko seeing the sad expression on Naruko's face smirked.
"Sad that you won't be able to beat me and that you know I will take control of you?" evil Naruko said cheekily.
"No that's the last thing on my mind. If you really are me than you should know what I am thinking right now," Naruko said standing up dropping her stance.
"Tch what do you know, you found someone now. So what, am I not good enough for you anymore? Just going to discard me now that I have no use?" evil Naruko said bitterly.
"So what, all that we have been through was for nothing or doesn't mean anything to you anymore?" she continued just as bitterly.
"No I would never think that. You better than most should know that what we've been through means something, you mean something," Naruko said shaking her head.
"I thank you for being the strength I never had, the will to continue on, without you I doubt I would be here," Naruko said with a small smile.
"You damn right you wouldn't be here. No just die and let me control this body," the evil Naruko said before charging in.
Naruko made no move only brought the evil Naruko into a tight hug with a heavy grant from the force of the charge and from the fist that found its way into her stomach. The evil Naruko was shocked and surprised by the sudden hug.
"What is the meaning of this?" the evil Naruko said trying to shuffle herself out from the hug.
"Thank you, thank you for everything," Naruko thanked softly.
"How, how can you just accept it like that, what gives you the strength?" the evil Naruko asked angrily.
"Because I accept you just as I have accepted what has happened to us. As for the strength, you are my strength and the hope that there is a chance that people will finally see us for who we are just like the few that already do," Naruko answered softly.
"So what you just going to discard me? Forget about me? Throw me out?" the evil Naruko asked starting to cry lightly.
"NO! I would never, just as you once helped me let me help you find peace, let us became one and help others that need it," Naruko replied shaking her head and tightening the hug.
"Just promise to never forget me," the not so evil Naruko said returning the hug.
"I will never forget you and I never go back on my word because that's our ninja way-ttebayo," Naruko replied promising to never forget her.
A blinding light covered both of them. When it disappeared so did the other Naruko. Naruko felt whole being the best word to describe how she feels. She can feel her other half within herself and can feel that she is stronger and calmer than she used to be.
Naruko was also at peace with everything that had happened in her life releasing any grudges she might have had against her village. Naruko closed her eyes before opening them again and finding herself sitting in front of the cage with Kurama staring intently at her.
"I can feel that you have changed and you're at peace with yourself. I take it all went well?" Kurama asked feeling that Naruko was a lot calmer than before.
"Yes it did and thanks Kurama don't think I could have without you," Naruko thanked standing up.
"I only sent you there you did the rest yourself," Kurama replied shaking his head.
"You helped me more than you think," Naruko said looking up to Kurama.
"If you say so. Now go on you have been in here the whole day," Kurama said kicking Naruko out the seal.
-Real world-
Team Seven had just started heading back to the hotel. Sasuke was a little worried as to why Naruko wasn't waking up. Kakashi had told them that Naruko was doing something but couldn't tell them what just yet. They understood but Sasuke was still a little concerned.
A few minutes away from their hotel Sasuke felt Naruko stir. Naruko slowly opened her eyes feeling very stiff. She noticed that she was being carried so blinked a few times to see who it was.
"Sasuke-kun?" Naruko asked finally seeing who it was that was carrying her.
"Naruko you're wake? Is everything alright and did you do what you needed?" Sasuke asked relieved that Naruko had woken up.
"Yea all is well and yes I did, it couldn't have gone better," Naruko answered before closing her eyes and falling asleep, today taking its toll on Naruko.
Sasuke smiled while Team Seven headed to their hotel to rest after another long day of training. Sasuke shook his head seeing a sleeping Sakura being carried by Kakashi having passed out again from today's rough training.
