Mirror Love
Chapter 6: Graduation.
A sound of heavy breathing pierced through the air of a private training ground, one away from the eyes of both civilians and ninjas alike. The breathing came from a boy who was thirteen years old, sitting in a meditation pose with his eyes closed.
His most distinctive traits was a spiky, sun-kissed hair with a set of three lines that marked both of his cheeks, lines that are now enlarged. He wore a dark red shirt with a pop-up collar and its sleeves coming down to his elbows, and black pants with a red stripe that ran down the side and black sandals. He also had a pair of metal bracers that sat on his wrists, which will grant him protection in close combat.
His name is Naruto Uzumaki, jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi and pariah of Konoha.
He's also not the only one in the training ground. The person, a female, with him looked as if she was his twin sister, having the same blonde hair and facial markings. She also wore something similar to what Naruto was wearing, with the same fashion and color. The only differences were her sleeves hung over her shoulders and her pants were rolled above her knees.
The girl's name is Naruko, unofficial guardian of Naruto and enemy of the hateful fools of Konoha.
She sat in front of Naruto with her legs and arms crossed, her blue eyes showing worry as she gazed at him. Naruto's breathing grew ragged and his fingernails were turned into claws. She looked back at his face just as Naruto opened his eyes, showing red eyes with cat-like slit.
Naruto let out a gasp and dropped out of his stance, his claws retracting and his eyes turning back to its original blue. The marks on his face grew thinner to simple, thin lines. He no longer looked as feral as he was before.
"Oh, man." He took several deep breaths before gulping and smiled at Naruko. "Who knew using the Kyuubi's chakra was so tough?" He gave a loud sigh and laid his head on the ground, looking up at the sky.
"Be thankful you even have access to my power, brat." An arrogant tone rang out in his head. "You are the first container to attempt in using it. Damn Mito and Kushina, they never saw the purpose of having the power in their possession."
Another sigh escaped Naruto's lips as he felt something settling over his stomach, causing him to look up to see Naruko straddling him. She gave him a large smile and leaned over to peck his lips.
"Don't worry about it, Naru-kun. You only began learning to control it a few weeks ago, you have to learn to crawl before walking and to walk before running." She smiled at him. "Look at me, I was pretty much weaker than everyone at the academy since I was originally created when you are dead last, but after both you and Kyuubi helped me with the basics, I'm a lot stronger now!"
"Even so, it's still a pain in the ass to try and control a bijuu's chakra AND suppress it so the ANBU won't go on frenzy. It's nearly impossible." Naruto sighed again and tried to ignore the pain that this kind of training left in his chakra coils, goddammit it hurts!
"Look on the bright side Naru-kun! Once you manage to master using Kyuubi's chakra AND making it unnoticeable, it will be a lot easier to sneak in full power and also, it should be easier to use the unrestrained version." She reasoned, earning her a confused look, to which the giant fox grumped.
"It takes a LOT of work to contain my bloodlust brat, if you can make it to two tails without making Naruko notice it, then you can easily make it to version two without worrying about losing your mind. As it stands though, you can barely even reach one tail without losing your mind! Naruko! Get off him and let him go back to training!" The beast barked in their minds, making them wince and, in Naruko's case, wince and glare mentally at him.
"I want my Naruto time! We trained enough for today!" She whined, which made the nine tailed fox snort.
"Not for today! You two will have team placements tomorrow, remember? I will be doomed if you make me look weak in the outside world! You two represent me, alright? So I can't have weaklings as the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki!" He yelled again, and it caused Naruto to sigh as his twin and the fox got into yet another argument about 'managing his time'. Really, couldn't he decide for once?
"… And you go back to training using your eyes!"
"What?! I just recovered from a massive headache not even five minutes ago!"
"No slacking! Remember what I told you about your eyes being weak?!"
"They are not weak! They just don't have all their abilities yet!"
"Exactly! So go back to your fucking training!"
"Fuck you!"
Naruto sighed again as the two keep yelling at each other, it was giving HIM a headache. Honestly, couldn't they stop?
"Hey Kyuubi? How about a ten minute rest before we go back to training? I'm exhausted too you know?" Naruto said, hoping to make things calm again. It worked as both Naruko and the beast stopped arguing.
"Hmm… If it's only ten minutes of rest I shall allow it, but no more than that!" After he declared that, the giant beast have gone silent, probably to calm himself down a little, again.
"Ahh… He is such a slave driver!" Naruko sighed, lying down in the grass besides Naruto again after she got up to argue with the fox.
"Hey, at least we get stronger that way, right?" Naruto asked, which made her sigh and roll to rest her head on his chest.
"You're right Naru-kun… I just want to spend more time like that…" The blond girl declared before dosing off, which made Naruto chuckle at her affection obsession. He put a hand on her hair and decided to take a brief nap too.
As for the Kyuubi, he just snorted again at the twins and their diabetic inducing closeness. Really, they already expended all of the 24 hours of the day together, and a good percentage of this time they spent saying and doing things that would left even the biggest romantic on earth with diabetes, and he had to tolerate this day after day! Oh, whatever possessed him to save that girl from being absorbed back into his consciousness?
Still, it did have its perks. He could still remember the discussion they had after he revealed the name of the abilities her eyes gained.
Flashback…
"Mystic eyes… Of death perception? What the hell?" Naruko questioned while looking up at the giant fox.
"It's exactly as I've said, Naruko Uzumaki, you've got an ability that normally only the Shinigami possesses. You can see the death of things and kill them regardless of how strong they are, their defenses, their jutsus, even if they are immortal or have multiple bodies or lives, if you can recognize their end, you can kill them." The Kyuubi declared with narrowed eyes, trying to see any differences in the female clone's eyes.
"Wow! That's so cool! Does that mean that we can easily kill anyone?!" Naruto asked excitedly.
"Yes. It actually makes me afraid, as those eyes have enough power to shred even a bijuu apart, though it may put you in a coma if you ever try to see a single line in my body." He answered, making both blonds even more excited.
"Hah! We are the best!" Naruko declared with a big grin, before a question came up to her mind.
"Hey, Kyuubi, what are those lines I saw in the walls anyway? I know they allow me to cut things apart, but what are they?"
"Those lines, Naruko, are the end of the wall. In an easier way to explain, it means that it's the end of their 'life', where they became useless little corpses in the ground. And in this case, rubbles. If you saw any dot, this means the 'end of existence', it means that if you stab that dot, the entire building may cease to exist. What I mean by this is, the building will fall apart, but it may be just the wall that will fall apart, it actually depends on what you want to end. Tell me, do you see any lines around here? Or on Naruto?" Kyuubi asked Naruko, who tilted her head in confusion.
"I don't see any lines here, and didn't see any one on Naruto, only on the walls, in the shelves, on the bed, the curtains and so on." She said, which made the fox open his mouth, before closing it again. Then he laughed, loudly.
"Hey you dumb fox! What's so funny!" Naruto shouted in indignation while Naruko just pouted.
"BWAHAHAHA! To think…. To think that you get got the most powerful eyes in the entire universe… AND THEY ARE COMPLETELY USELESS TO KILL EVEN AN ANT! BWAHAHAHA!" The Kyuubi continued to laugh his ass off, while Naruto kept asking what is funny and insulting him, before Naruko got fed up.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" She shouted, in chakra enhanced voice, which made both Naruto and Kyuubi, who had sensitive ears, flinch.
"Fine, fine, I will stop. But what I've said is true. Your eyes can't kill a single microbe."
"What do you mean?" Naruto and Naruko asked of the bijuu.
"Exactly what I meant. Your eyes are more like a "Mystic Eyes of Object Destruction", it seems you can only recognize the death of things that are not alive. You can only destroy inanimate objects, a wall, a sword, armor, maybe the ground, and so forth. Your eyes, they are incomplete." The fox had to contain himself not to laugh again seeing the twins visibly deflating at his statement. Oh, he didn't have fun like that ever since he dropped Shukaku on the ocean.
"Then, is it useless?" Naruko asked with dropped shoulders.
"Oh, I didn't say that, it has its uses alright, just not as good as a complete Death Eyes. Let's say the enemy is one of the Seven Swordsman of the mist, who loves to swing those big knives around. If you can trace the lines of their swords, they turn into useless sticks. The shock should be enough for you to kill their owners. Or, if you need to open a treasure that can't be opened no matter what or is it protected by some trap, you can 'kill' it too and take whatever is inside without hurting yourself. It can even be useful if you want to leave your enemy completely naked and defenseless in the battlefield. You are the intelligent one, right? Use the brain the other doesn't." Kyuubi ignored Naruto's shout of protest and continued on his explanation.
"From what I remember, the Shinigami uses a knife to help cut the lines and stab the points he sees, so I think it's better that you focus on training in fighting with a knife, a kunai or whatever, it can even be an sword if it suits your fancy." At that, the bijuu actually gained a thoughtful look on his face.
"You know what girl? I need to understand those eyes of yours better. Be proud, fake human, for I, the great Nine Tailed Fox, will train you with my eons of knowledge." Naruto and Naruko actually got surprised that the arrogant fox grinned down at them.
End of flashback…
After that explanation, the fox had Naruko (discreetly) go into Konoha and describe where she saw the dots and lines. As he said, she only recognized death on inanimate objects, the civilian's clothes (to which she made a few go naked in public due to unexplained clothing failure) and somehow, on the trees, despite them not being exactly objects.
After that, when they had gone to one of their random desolate training grounds, Kyuubi made Naruko cut a tree apart with her eyes and he discovered that her eyes somehow recognized a tree as an inanimate object. After a while, she complained of a huge headache after tearing a single tree to shreds, and also commented on feeling her chakra reserves emptying.
Kyuubi made many experiments with her eyes whenever the two weren't sparring and reached the conclusion that: Her eyes could cut inanimate objects with ease, a tree seemed to make her lost more mental stability and chakra than a non-sentient target, which made him make Naruko grab a random squirrel and try to see lines on its body.
She complained of a massive headache, but said that like before 'dying', she could see very, very faint bluish lines on its body if she forced her eyes enough. He had asked her to try and cut one, only to hear Naruko whimpering in pain and releasing the squirrel, before dispelling herself to recover. On that day, he noticed that her eyes may have the ability to evolve into true mystic eyes of death perception in the future.
Another thing he noticed when he had Naruko activate her eyes in a spar against Naruto is that they increased her reaction time and speed a lot, it actually reminded him of the chakra gates some humans in the past opened to gain massive power. Also, they had the ability to see 'residual chakra', it may be useless since her sensor ability can do the same thing miles away, but they still allowed someone to see if there is chakra in a place or someone and even identify if it's theirs or foreign. He had yet to experiment its usefulness against genjutsu though.
The massive downside of her eyes however, is that they drain a LOT of chakra from her. Let's say that Naruko has about 10000 Chakra Units in her coils, the amount a mid-level Jounin would have. If she was an Uchiha and had the Sharingan activated, it would cost about 30 CU per minute, if she has fire natured and used a great fireball with average input, it would cost about 300 CU per use. If she used the opposite element, a Water Dragon, it would cost a great 1000 CU per use.
The Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, or, as they decided to call it, the Shinome costs the same as a Water Dragon, 1000 Chakra Units… per minute. That would kill the mid-level Jounin in about ten minutes, that is, if he didn't die because his brain turned into mush first. You see, for whenever Naruko had her eyes active for a long period of time, or worse yet, strained them like she did with the squirrel, she would get a migraine and would be forced to dispel herself in order to recover. If she used the Kage Bushin, and all of them had their eyes activated she would get into a week long coma due to the massive mental strain, so, she had been forbidden of using the eyes along with the clones, though she still could create clones and activate her eyes AFTER creating them.
Speaking of activation, the fox had used his chakra to get a look into the internal workings of her eyes, and this is what allowed him to both know the chakra cost AND train her on how to turn the ability on and off at will. One advantage of Naruko being a Chakra construct is that he could easily understand how her abilities worked if he used his chakra to analyze her body.
To get a better use out of her eyes, he had trained Naruko both inside the orignal's mindscape and on the real world. He taught her a knife using taijutsu that he saw an ancient demon slaying clan that specialized in assassination to turn their enemies into bloody messes in the ground. Granted, they didn't use only a knife, having many taijutsu styles, but this one seemed to make Naruko happy the most. Especially since a lot off the moves had the potential to draw a lot of blood, and one thing that learned after a certain series of incidents, is that the girl loved blood.
It consisted of using a single knife to fight, the other hand being used to deflect attacks and to create openings so she could either painfully stab or slice her enemy. The legs are also used to great effect, assisting in kick strikes of as follow-ups of previous attacks, focusing on hitting the enemy on parts on where they hurt the most and on unbalancing them so they make easy targets. It was pretty neat, and the girl seemed to love it, she even started to occasionally daydream on using it on real combat and to create original moves with the help of her kage bushin and Naruto. She can even use her chakra to extend the reach of the kunai or knife she uses to make it even more deadly.
The boy himself learned a variant of it that focused on dual wielding of knives that had a more defensive nature, though it had no less number of crippling and painful moves. His free hand is sacrificed so that he could use another knife to better cripple an enemy and to block attacks, though the legs have the same use as Naruko's style. He gets even more deadlier if he uses chakra to extend the blades AND combines this style with his seals.
The boy became a genius on sealing, having surpassed the Sandaime already and probably being close on the level Jiraya of the Sannin if not on the same. Ever since he discovered that Naruko wouldn't vanish, he started to focus on creating combat seals. The things he managed to created baffled even him, which was not an easy thing to do.
For example, he had seals spread all across his body, which somehow are invisible and don't make him look like a tattoo fanatic. Two of those are on each of his hands, on his palms to be exact, which allow him to draw kunai with great speed or heck, shot them at high speeds from his palms, something which Naruko copied so that she could have better access to kunai and have more ranged attacks.
There is also the barrier he is able to make with his seals, as well as the traps and things that only the Fourth seemed to be able to do. Naruto is actually determined to one day be able to make a perfect, if not better, copy of the Hiraishin no Jutsu and to awaken the Uzumaki Chakra Chains. The boy is already much stronger than most Genin and a few Chuunin already, his only weak point being close quarters combat since much of his focus is on his seals, and even that is more than enough to keep him alive. Naruko covers that weak point however, as she is a beast in close quarters.
And besides those abilities, both of them had stolen scrolls from the library, Jutsu scrolls. Most of them being only low ranked, but still added a lot to their arsenal, making them more deadly. It actually intrigued Kyuubi slightly, as Naruto seemed to have proficiency with those jutsus, while Naruko seemed to struggle. So far the boy had mastered two D rank a C rank, all of them being mid to long range wind jutsu, while Naruko so far had managed to master two D rank close range wind jutsu.
Those two have come a long, long way. And they are Kyuubi's best hope of gaining eternal freedom and finally killing THAT man.
On the next day…
The blonds have woken up in their usual way, cuddled with each other in their pajamas on their now bigger bed. After waking up, both of them prepared themselves for the day with a bath, Naruko's being quickier as she doesn't have to worry about the call of nature, and a nice and surprisingly balanced breakfast, they took off to their final day at the academy, or rather, Naruto did, Naruko just dispelled herself.
You see, during all those years, no one managed to find out about Naruko, not even his ex anbu guard, Kakashi, who just dismissed it as an oddity of his training regimen and mostly stayed too far from him to see whatever they're doing or Sarutobi who had a crystal ball that could see all of Konoha. The old man rarely used it to observe Naruto though, as he trusted his guard AND because most of its uses were to peek on women. Thanks to the laziness of one and the other being a pervert, she managed to be a secret only Naruto and Kyuubi knew of. So, as to not have their sanity questioned and possibly lose their shinobi status or their 'loyalty' questioned, they just kept it that way.
"Ahh, what a nice day! Naru-kun, come here with me later so we can have some time together!" He heard Naruko comment in his head, to which he chuckled again.
"Don't worry Naruko-chan, when the bell rings, we will spend some time just relaxing together!" He ignored the sound of the Kyuubi slapping a hand on his forehead to reply to Naruko mentally.
"Alright!" The female clone yipped in joy, making Naruto smile, which creeped some civilians the fuck out.
Naruto paid them no mind, but not too long after the twins began their training together with the Kyuubi they began to act funny around him, instead of glaring and whispering or even yelling hurtful things at him, they began to cower in fear, avert their eyes, run away, cry, piss their pants, hide behind objects, get paler than ghosts, beg for forgiveness and hell, a year ago one of them actually committed seppuku in front of him! That one had Naruko laughing maniacally in his mind.
You see, that is actually the fault of a serial killer. Corpses of civilians have been found, mutilated and showing signs of having been tortured before their horrible demise. Over two hundreds have been killed that way over the years and the killer simply left absolute no proof or evidence behind, the perfect killer. He has been dubbed 'The Nightmare' due to the fact that all his killings happened to be at night, when all of his victims had been asleep.
The thing is… All of the civilians killed had done at least one evil against Naruto, either being the ones who have thrown him out of the orphanage, raised the prices to him, sold him spoiled food or tricked him in a hurtful way. All of the victims are people who wronged Naruto, though all of them are civilians.
Heavy suspicion arose around him, forcing the Sandaime to use his crystal ball to observe him, and much to his relief, always found Naruto sleeping soundly in his bed by the time of the murders, that always happened at night. Of course, they have checked for evidence of the killers being shadow clones of his, but even Kage Bushins left evidence behind in the form of chakra residue. This killer left none. So, much to the outrage of many civilians, Naruto had been declared innocent. All of this happened in secret of the boy in question of course.
Civilians who mistreated Naruto before are now in constant company of Anbu guards… Though it's still useless as even now the occasional civilian shows up in a mangled mess in some random part of Konoha.
Naruto of course, knew of the murders, and had a suspicion Naruko had something to do with it. As she sometimes would disappear in the middle of the night and return hours later with a very cute, creepy and bloody smile on her face. The boy actually managed to get a liking to this particular expression of hers and would sometimes kiss her upon her return. Good thing the blood on the ground and on him disappeared alongside her once she dispelled.
Yes, she definitely had something to do with the murders.
"Don't know what you talking abooout!" She giggled in his mind.
"Sure you don't." He chuckled at her in response.
"Nope, not at all." Come Kyuubi's sarcastic reply.
Naruto didn't care in the slightest about the murders, and has kinda grateful for his lover to do such a thing for him. While he would've loved to kill the civilians himself, it would only make him land in trouble. And besides, Naruko loved to do those things, so he let her. She said that if they ever get a solo assassination mission or something like that, that they should kill together, to which he agreed. She got so happy that day that the next civilian was found arranged in a heart shape.
Arriving at the school, Naruto went up to his seat, stopping only to give acknowledging nods to his few friendly acquaintances: Shino, Kiba, Shikamaru, Chouji and Hinata, who blushed at him. For some reason, he could feel Naruko grinding her teeth in the back of his mind when he looked at her.
Sitting down at his seat, that happens to be in the very back of the room, he looked around the class.
"Come on! All of them are weaklings! Look at that one over there, he is drooling, he is fucking drooling! He is supposed to be a Ninja or Neanderthal? And that girl over here! She is putting make up on her face! The only make up a ninja needs is the blood of his enemies!" Naruko yelled in his mind, going on yet another rant about the uselessness of future konoha shinobi.
And then, Sakura, Ino and a legion of girls entered already in a catfight over who is going to sit beside the 'great' Sasuke Uchiha. He looked around trying to find the reason for their fight. Where is him anyway? He looked to his side.
Shit. He just noticed that Sasuke is just besides him, looking at the window while brooding. Why him?
"And here they come! The bane of all Kunoichi in the world! Fangirls!" Naruko declared with spite. Naruto also wans't fond of them, specially the Haruno.
"NARUTO! GET OUT OF THE SEAT SO WE CAN SIT NEXT TO SASUKE-KUN!" They yelled, though Sakura's voice was the loudest. Naruto sighed.
"Let's see…" He got in a thinking pose. The classroom got quiet for a whole minute while waiting for his answer.
"What about no?" He finally replied, giving them his middle finger. To which they roared and yelled at him. Sakura actually had the nerve to try and grab him by force. Naruto simply slapped her hand away and glared at her, sending a bit of killing intent.
"Unless you want me to seal your vocal cords forever, I suggest you to leave me alone." Sakura looked ready to piss her pants, he intensified his glare, and she quietly went to her seat without a word.
"Anyone else want to try to make me move?" He asked of the horde, but they cried and backed off, much to his relief. Sasuke just grunted, hiding a smile at the fate of one his biggest tormentors.
"I fucking hate them! I fucking hate that girl! I will save her for last!" Naruto momentarily felt sympathy towards the girl, but quickly brushed it off, he wanted to murder her too after all she was done to him.
Iruka finally arrived after ten minutes. He looked around, it was strangely quiet. Then he noticed Sakura looking ready to cry, he sighed.
He looked at Naruto with a questioning gaze, to which he just nodded at him, which made the teacher sigh and shake his head. Why did fangirls have to be so narrow-minded?
"Okay, now everyone, congratulations on passing the test! From now on, you are shinobi, the arms of the village, you all make us proud!" He looked around, the whole class seemed proud of themselves, even Sasuke seemed to be smirking a little and Shikamaru looked motivated for once! The teacher didn't even have to look at his favorite blond to know that he must be grinning like a fox right now.
"Okay, now everyone, I will say which teams you belong to!" He once again declared, and Naruto, noticing that he wouldn't be called for a while, zoned out and kept talking to his twin.
"… And Team 7: Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno" A yell of happiness. "… And Naruto Uzumaki!" A cry of unhappiness. "Your sensei will be Kakashi Hatake!"
"Dammit…" Naruto just HAD to be on a team with the em- no, he is an insult to emos, the brooder god and the fangirl goddess.
"Just our luck… Maybe we will be able to 'off' them in a mission with enough luck…" She started to plot, but Naruto highly doubted it would work anyway, besides, it would just be a wasteful use of a good knife.
"You have a point…" The blond twin sighed sadly after he told her as such.
"Team 8: Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame and Hinata Hyuuga, your sensei will be Kurenai Yuuhi! Team 9 is still in circulation from last year… Team 10: Chouji Akimichi, Shikamaru Nara and Ino Yamanaka, your sensei will be Sarutobi Asuma! That is it, you are dismissed to wait for your senseis to arrive in a hour's time!" And so said, he left the classroom, with a lot of newly made ninjas not to long behind.
Naruto himself stayed in the classroom to each a sandwich Naruko made to him earlier, and then, he closed his eyes as if to nap, entering his mindscape.
Naruto's Mindscape…
A giant green field with a forest not too far away, there is also a small wooden house that Naruko liked to stay whenever she was inside him. That is the new appearance of his mindscape after both Naruko and Kyuubi complained that the sewer is ugly and didn't have enough space, sure enough, it's a lot more beautiful now.
And there Naruko is, she hearing a beautiful pink dress with her hair down while taking a walk around a field of flowers, she saw him and waved.
"Naru-kun! Over here!" Naruto smiled warmly at her, and closed his eyes, his own clothes changing into more normal looking clothes, a black shirt with blue pants. He grinned and ran in her direction.
Naruko yelped as Naruto embraced her in a run and started to spin around with her in his arms. She started laughing alongside him. This was their paradise, the heaven both of them wanted to spend the rest of their days, no, the rest of eternity in.
After spinning around a little, he put Naruko back into the ground and kissed her deeply, savoring her scent and her taste, over the years, all feelings of awkwardness of her being a clone vanished, he started to treat her as both himself and her own person now. He loved her more than anyone else, he was pretty sure that even if all the girls in world threw themselves at him, he would want only her.
Both of them laid down on the groud, looking up at the sky of his mindscape, it was a beautiful blue with a few lazy clouds floating around. It was truly heaven, Kyuubi is probably sleeping in the forest, so they had all this time to themselves. So blissful, he wished this never ended.
As both of them spent they time either cuddling with each other, kissing or talking about random things, they completely forgot about time and that even as everyone returned to the classroom to wait for their teachers, they still stayed in their happy moment together with each other.
Even as the senseis of other students arrived, they still were in their bliss, even as only him, Sasuke and Sakura remained in the classroom, Naruto and Naruko only wanted to know about each other. Even as three hours of waiting passed, they still kept in they own, literal little world, just loving each other. Even as Kyuubi woke up and started walking around, they paid him no mind. The only reason that they broke out of their bubble is that, after snorting something about diabetes, he reminded them that they were there for three hours.
The evil fox let them panic for a while before saying that their sensei haven't show up yet and that both of their teammates are feeling murderous for having to sit around doing nothing for three hours. This actually got them a good laugh, before Naruto hesitantly kissed his other half goodbye and returned to the real world.
…
Just as Naruto opened his eyes, his sensei arrived, looking bored out of his mind.
"Hey! I remember this chakra signature! He is the Anbu who kept guard around us!" Naruko declared in a somewhat surprised voice, their Anbu guard is going to be their teacher?
As for Kakashi, he lazily looked around. The pink (pink?) kunoichi yelled at him about being late, the Uchiha boy looked both relieved and ready to murder him and Naruto looked like he just woke up from a very good dream. Oh well.
"My first impression of you is… You're boring. Anyway, I think since one of you is comfortable enough, let's do our introductions here." He ignored the pink harp, no, harpies are beautiful (especially since the release of the monster girl version of the Icha Icha came around), the pinkette yelling at him and sat on the teacher's table.
"Alright everyone! Let's introduce ourselves, shall we?" He started with an eye smile.
"Uhh, what do you mean sensei?" The pinkette asked. Kakashi, Sasuke, Naruto and Naruko blinked. Kyuubi tilted his head. Seriously?
"Uhh, how about your name, likes, dislikes, hobbies, dreams for the future, something like that?"
"Why don't you go first sensei?" She asked, completely oblivious to his sarcasm.
"Ahhh… Well, My name is Hatake Kakashi, I have likes and dislikes… Dreams for the future… As for hobbies… You're too young to know them. Anyway, pink menace, your turn." He said, making Sakura glare at him before replying.
"My name is Haruno Sakura! My likes are…" Looks at Sasuke and drools. "My hobbies are…" Looks at Sasuke and giggles, the males all sigh at this. "My dreams for the future…" Looks again at Sasuke and squeals. Naruko wanted to turn her into mush.
"And dislikes?" Kakashi tempted.
"NARUTO!" She screeched, and Kakashi could've sworn he heard glass breaking. Naruto just replied with a middle finger towards her, to which she started to growl at him.
"Alright alright, calm down. Walking Black Cloud, you next." He said, pointing at Sasuke, who glared bloody murder at him.
"My name is Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha. I have few likes and a lot of dislikes. My hobbies are training and my dream… No, my ambition… Is to revive my clan, and to kill a certain man." He declared with hate when he mentioned his brother. Sakura though he was cool, Kakashi looked in understanding and Naruto looked unimpressed though he had a raised eyebrow because Kyuubi said that they should kill him and burn his eyes.
"Okay… Whiskers, you next." He pointed at Naruto, who didn't take offense at the nickname.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like ramen, training, studying and creating new seals and I like, no, I love myself, and only a few other people. My hobbies are training, engineering new seals, spending time with myself and pranks. My dream for the future… Would be to find a way to bring a clone to life, become the strongest in the world and then, find heaven, a place where I can spend the rest of my days in peace." Naruto declared, and while Kakashi though that while slightly narcissistic, it was kinda deep. His companions however…
"Ha! He can't find anyone to like him and had to stick to being a narcissist! What a loser!" She laughed at him while Sasuke just looked at him like he was crazy.
Naruto's eyebrows started to twitch, both in irritation towards his teammates and that Naruko kept yelling in his head how much useless they are, how much she hated them and the many, many ways she could kill them.
Kakashi looked unimpressed, but inwards, he was crying in despair, this team is doomed to failure! A fangirl, an avenger and a narcissist! Could it get any worse?!
"Ahh, anyway, meet me up at training ground 10 tomorrow. We will be having a survival training." He declared.
"Survival training? We already them at the academy!" Sakura yelled again.
"Well, this is not your typical training, for you see, it's a test, and if you fail, you WILL go back to the academy!" He exclaimed in sadistic glee at the expression of his students.
"B-But what about the test the academy gave us?" Naruto asked in confusion.
"Oh, it's just something to ward off the hopeless cases. For you see, this is the true genin test. There is a failure rate of 66%, meaning that out of 9 teams, only about 3 teams will pass." He said to the still shocked genin, this is fun!
"Meet me up at the training ground 10 at 7 AM o'clock, oh, and I suggest you don't eat, for if you do, you WILL throw up! That is it! Bye!" And thus, Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving his charges to themselves.
Sasuke snorted and got up, determined to pass this test. Sakura went after him in a daze, trying to ask him out for a date. Naruto also got up, walking slowly towards the exit.
"Don't worry Naru-kun! You are more than ready to take him on! You can count on it! He will not realize what we've got in store for him!" And Naruko's encouragement was enough to make the blond smile. Of course, as long as they are together, they are unbeatable.
"Thank you Naruko-chan… We WILL pass this test and we will prove that we can become shinobi!" He looked up at the sky outside his school. Yes, he needed to become stronger to ensure their peace together, and the first obstacle is passing this test.
Chapter 6: END!

Omake
Konoha's Nightmare
The First Murder
*Warning! Very graphical scene ahead, if you don't like gore or seeing a preteen girl torture someone to death, I recommend that you skip this omake!*
This is the first step. Yes, she needed to protect Naruto from all threats, that is her purpose in life. The reason she was created, to heal his mind, give love to his heart and to protect his body. She, is his tool, his protector, his guardian.
He is sleeping besides her, he looks so cute like that, she wanted sooo much to just go back to sleep and cuddle up with him, but no, today, she was on a mission.
The first to suffer from her hands, the motherfucker, the man who managed the orphanage, the guy that threw them out at the street to suffer, to starve, for days on end before the Hokage found them. The man somehow managed to stay alive even after being brought in for questioning. The Hokage didn't punish him enough, so, that duty fell on her hands.
She got up quietly, not wanting to wake Naruto up. After that, she concentrated her chakra to change her appearance. In her face appeared a black laughing mask with blood running down its eyes and mouth (Look at my profile pic), a dark red mantle covered her body, that had a dark jacked and pants underneath. Her long blond hair fell behind her back. Yes, she truly looked like a nightmarish killer now.
She got to the door and opened it with all the silence she was trained in. Making sure that there were no Anbu outside right now. She got out and started to walk in the dark, dark streets of Konoha. She activated the Shinome, allowing for perfect night vision, another benefit of having those eyes.
"Oh? Going on a bloody rampage, are we? Sure want to do this?" The giant fox asked in her mind, by his tone, he looked excited at what she was about to do. She grinned mentally at him, and that was all the answer he needed before starting to laugh evilly.
So, where was she? Oh yes… There, she found the orphanage, and surprisingly, the man still worked here. No matter, karma would come to him today.
She killed the door with her eyes, making it completely vanish from existence by stabbing the dot she saw in the middle. Them, she followed his chakra signature. He is behind a room, so, she just killed the lock and opened it silently.
He is sleeping, how cute! Now, to seal the place up so his screams won't leak outside…
She took a brush out of a seal on her palm, and started stroking the door, covering the tip of the brush with chakra. She made an invisible seal, two actually. One made sure that the door was shut like an iron barrier and the other, a silencing seal. Luckily, for her, there didn't seem to be any window in his room.
She looked at him, and started to laugh, loudly. A maniacal laugh, filled with hate and spite.
The man woke up with a start. He had afro hair, a big mustache and was fat. Great, she is going to kill a pig, oh, how she is anticipating this.
"Who the fuck are you?!" He yelled in fear, at first he thought that she may be an Anbu because of the mask, but the way her killing intent rolled, made it extremely sure she is not.
"Hihihi, my name is not important… What is however old man… Is that you remember…" Like a flash for the civilian she got him and kicked him to the ground, making the fat pig grunt in pain.
"W-what do you want? Leave me alone!" He yelled once again in fear. What he got for his troubles however, was a kunai to the thigh in a non vital area, making it bleed heavily, but not enough to kill him.
"AHHHH! P-please, leave me be! I-I will give you everything you want!" He didn't understand why no one come to his rescue yet, maybe she killed them already? Oh no!
"Ahahaha, tell me, pig-san, do you remember the little boy, Naruto Uzumaki?" She asked in an innocent voice.
"That… That demon boy! I gave him what he deserved!" He yelled in momentarily moment of anger, forgetting that his life was on the line here.
"Yes… You made us suffer…" Using her eyes's ability, she 'killed' all of his clothes with her kunai, making the old man go stark naked. He yelped in fright and in humiliation. Naruko put a feet on his belly.
"Do you know… What is like to wander the streets, in the rain, exhausted and in hunger? Tell me… WHY DID YOU MADE US SUFFER LIKE THAT?!" She started to pound on him, making the fat man scream in agony as he begged for her to stop.
"You want me to stop? Hahahah, that's so funny! You are funny pig-san!" She exclaimed in childlike innocence, before getting her feet out of him and staring at him. She decided to take her mask out.
"Hiii!" She smiled cutely at him. But her face, the markings, the eyes… Oh god! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! She… She is that demon child!
"P-please, stop this! I-I beg you! Forgive meeee!" He shrieked like a pig, the only reason he didn't piss of disembowel himself being that he already did his business earlier, otherwise Naruko would have to deal with his stench.
"You want forgiveness… That is funny… We… We kept asking everyone to forgive us, despite not knowing what we've done wrong… and yet… NO ONE GAVE A FUCK! HOW FUCKED UP IS THAT, UH?!" She put her hand on the knife in his thigh, and pressed it deeper in his wound, making him scream again.
"Hahaha! Scream, scream! I like your screams!" She once again exclaimed in excitement, especially once she saw blood. She decided to yank the knife out, gaining another scream of pain. She looked at the blood on the blade, and licked it.
"Blood… It's delicious… Hahaha…" Her actions earned a frightened whimper from the fat pig man. She looked at him.
"Let's have fun, pig-san!"
She started to stab him all over his legs, making him scream in pain and staining the ground in blood, oh, the beautiful blood! She stopped occasionally to lick her knife clean, just to creep the hell out of the man, even as he whimpered in pain.
She them, took hold of his feet. And started to stab it continuously in the joint, relishing in the pained sobs and screams coming from him, how fun! With a swift move, she cut his feet clean off, time to move on to the next!
Now, stabbed the bottom of his right feet, completely destroying it, so beautiful! She took a moment to allow him to suffer a bit then moved to his knee joint. She looked at it for a moment, before stabbing it painfully. She liked the pained scream and stabbed it again, and again, until she managed to completely severe that part of his leg. She did the same thing with the other joint, only this time slicing it as one does to a cake, giggling like a school girl at the blood coming out in waves and the whimpering and sobbing of the old man.
She looked at him and frowned, he is going to die too quickly that way!
She put a hand inside her cape, and there found a small bag, she took a blood pill and forced him to swallow it. This is going to keep him going for a good while. Naruko smiled at herself, what a good thing to do!
Now, she looked at his groin and wanted to puke, how ugly! She bet Naruto's was more beautiful! She looked at him in the eye, and smiled, making him go even paler and whimper a feeble 'please no', to which she paid no mind.
She took her knife, and jammed it up in his crotch, gaining a very, very loud scream of pain from the man, so, she did it again at least a good two times. This is fun!
She discarded the knife, leaving it buried up between his balls and unsealed another, clean one, time to have more fun!
Getting an idea, she unsealed another kunai, decided to stab them thorough his hands, pining them both to the floor in a bloody mess. Each time gaining a loud whimper of pain. Poor piggy, is he suffering? Does he need another blood pill?
She decided to give in to his wishes and gave him another pill with a cute smile. Good, now he is going to keep going even longer!
"Ahh… Ahhrhg… Sstoop… Stooopp…" He sobbed pathetically.
"Hahaha, no no pig-san! It's still too early to stop! Here, I got another idea to have fun!" She unsealed another kunai, and looked at his belly, my, he needs to lose weight! Let's help pig-san!
She gently stabbed the upper part of his stomach, making him yell in pain, and then, started to slice it down, making huge opening in his stomach. The man was starting to vomit blood now, but the two pills will keep him alive for her, so no worries.
Using both her hands, she widened the opening, gaining gurgled sobs of pain. She saw blood everywhere, but there are his internal organs! This is better than any anatomical classes she ever had! She lifted her knife up… And stabbed it right thorough his intestines, again and again. Blood and some other nasty things appeared, so she stopped, hmm, he is already a whimpering mess of blood, what to do now? Oh!
She sat behind him, putting his head on her lap, which made the man look up at her in absolute fright. The terror in his eyes, how beautiful! She lifted him and forced him to sit, even though doing so gave him terrible pain from his hands, crotch, knees and stomach. And then, started to trace her knife alongside his back, making sure to have it deep in enough to hurt but not enough to kill, his cries and gurgles are cute!
She didn't know for how much time she played with him, but at the end, his back was full of deep marks and stabs, and he stopped to breath, meaning that he is dead! Pity, she wanted to play more! Getting up, she took another moment to swiftly cut his head and arms off as a last insult, then released her seals, and started her trek back home, singing happily to herself.
The Kyuubi meanwhile didn't know whether to be proud or to be unsettled, this made Shukaku look like pacifist! Oh, yes, he did enjoy the man's suffering, but at the same time, is it normal for a human girl to act like this? Oh well, at least he got to enjoy the show, pity it had to end so quickly.
What he did not know at this time however, is that pig-san is only going to be her first victim of over a hundred, the terror reign of Naruko Uzumaki, The Nightmare, is just beginning! She is going to protect Naruto, she will never let anyone make him suffer again!
END!
*And here ends the gore part*

AN: Soo… How did you guys like the chapter? It's the biggest yet and managed to cover a lot of previous unknown parts. What do you think about Naruko's drawbacks so she is more balanced? And Naruto's so far described abilities?
He will get the chance to shine on the next chapter's test, so, if anyone have some opinion or idea as to what abilities that Naruto (Or Naruko if you want, though she probably won't fight for a while) should have, please, mention it on the reviews or PM me or TheWolfBoss06!
Aaand about opinions, we got one by the UltimatebadassOVERLODsayan, he suggested that since Naruko pretty much will use the abilities of the Shikis, Naruto should learns abilities like Fate/ Stay Night's Archer, projection of weapons and maybe even a Reality Marble (Unlimited Blade Works) and also use bow and arrow as a weapon, which was an earlier idea, though if you guys like it, it can still be used. So, any opinion on it?
Anyway, hope you guys liked the chapter! And the omake if you read it!
The Omake actually is pretty much a random idea, and a experiment for the future gore, so it can be decided if you guys want it to be graphic or just mentioned, or if you guys agree to Naruko's yandere squee personality, so if anyone got any complaints or suggestions, please, share them!
Thank you for reading, please, leave a review if you can, it help motivates us!
