I do not own Naruto. I do own some braised chicken.
As two shinobi clashed after a brief intermission in which the blonde haired boy named Naruto Uzumaki smirked at his progress, the kunoichi he was staring down smirked as well thinking of how Itachi would meet his demise sooner or later. Hopefully sooner. For the past two weeks since they first met, Naruto had constantly returned to visit and train with the girl he had an almighty crush on. Naori Uchiha.
It hadn't taken any effort whatsoever to practically put the young blonde in the palm of her hands, and the Uzumaki had been immediately overwhelmed by the subtle touches she would use every now and then while showing him some of the Uchiha clan sword techniques. While the boy would never really need able to use the style she used to its full potential because of his lack of sharingan eyes, he still was overjoyed to be learning another two sword style besides the one he had been practicing. The "Illusion Blade" technique philosophy centered around telegraphing swift cuts to gain a reaction from the opponent, and then at the last second when they tried to counter the trajectory would change and strike an opening. Naruto hadn't managed to even get close to her not even once, but his steady improvement was notable and something that Naori constantly praised him for. After spending so much time with Naruto for the last two weeks, the future Hunter nin ha come to genuinely care for the young Uzumaki, and despite the fact that she had initially only expressed interest in him because of his potential to help her that had changed.
Naruto was a one of a kind person who was ambitious, funny, and very endearing as she quickly found out, and a couple times she had to keep herself from lightly blushing when he looked at her in admiration and adoration. Naruto seemed to just enjoy looking at her for long periods if time, and he always seemed to be intoxicated simply because of her presence. She was a bit surprised to hear about his rivalry with her second cousin Sasuke, but She constantly assured the boy that all Uchiha weren't like he was and even gave the example of Shisui Uchiha who she had once been close to, before Itachi was rumored to have killed him in cold blood. The clan killer deserved to die more than anyone in her eyes, and she had managed to persuade Naruto into despising him more so than he ready had.
Naruto had managed impressive feats in the short time thanks to his clones, and had learned the underground fish technique, the water encampment wall, the force lightning jutsu, and recently the Phoenix flower technique and flamethrower jutsu with her help. He had much difficulty with the fire techniques especially, but he could now perform then both at the cost of a lot of chakra. He had to use two handed seals with all the elemental jutsu he learned, and while he practiced day and night he just couldn't manage to use them one handed. Naori had already managed to use all of her techniques with the single handed seals, and so she had recently opted to adapt her kenjutsu to a single sword style for actual combat. She still practiced with Naruto using two however, and the boy had displayed a natural talent unlike anything she had ever seen.
As Naruto burst forward with his swords held waist level pointing toward Naori, he crossed his arms and attempted a horizontal X cut as if he held scissors. Naori sidestepping the attack that she learned was from the Uzumaki style, was forced to leap away when Naruto jumped with his back toward her and spun into a sideways twisting attack mid air.(He did this during the Haku fight when Haku tried to finish him from above after he used kyubi chakra)
As the spinning blonde landed with a blade in front of him and the other behind his back to guard it, he suddenly found Naoris swords near his neck and he laughed sheepishly knowing he had lost again. Truth be told Naruto had become infatuated with her due to her skill along with her beauty, and even though he still liked Sakura the pink haired girl wasn't normally the one inhabiting his dreams for the most part.
The day after Sasuke had tried to challenge him Sakura had shown up to class and the girl was a wreck. Her eyes looked puffy like she had cried all night and morning before coming to class, and even though Naruto had defended her again from some fangirls that made fun of her lack of make up saying she needed beauty sleep, she hadn't been as uplifted as he had hoped. It turned out that Sasuke had chewed her out after he had recovered from Chouji slamming him, and while Naruto didn't know what was said he was sure it wasn't pretty. As a result he had attempted to fight him for Sakuras honor, but not only did she Still fucking object but the Anbu for involved after being ordered by the Hokage to keep them separated. That wasn't what was unbelievable though, but somehow the teme had landed a famous jonin as a private tutor that had apparently mastered a thousand jutsu. A thousand!? It just didn't make since to Naruto! How the hell did he always get what he wanted when he was obviously fucked up in the head and treated everyone like garbage. Why did Sakura still defend him!? Why wouldn't she just let him sweep her off of her feet!? At least Naori treated him with respect and dare he say...love. The older girl was constantly on his mind even while he studied seals and practiced shunshin. She had been helping him learn to use the high speed jutsu inside of combat, and she had even said that Shisui was once hailed as the strongest Uchiha in their clan and famous for using it. While she had endurance issues and couldn't use it that much, Naruto didn't have that limitation and she had made sure to make him focus on it more than anything else. As a result the boy could now damn near teleport all around her almost to the point of leaving after images, and he had begun trying to use it and the shadow clone jutsu simultaneously. If she were to be honest with herself it wouldn't be long before he was stronger than she was thanks to his clones and devotion, and the boy NEVER stopped training since he always had clones out and about. His talent with genjutsu was pretty non existent, but after she told him that was her specialty he had vowed to learn to use it as well wanting to impress her. He was so easy to manipulate but she wasn't complaining. It just meant he'd be that much more loyal to her and be a great husband when she decided to rebuild her clan. She didn't know who Sakura was or Hinata Hyuga, but She mused that the two other kunoichi he told her about didn't hold a candle to her in any way. After a little prodding she had managed to take the majority of his time after he left the academy, and the boy had also begun getting her interested in sealing after telling her how his grandfather used then in combat. If the Uzukage could do such amazing things with his swords and seals, she figured she could too, and she already had learned calligraphy since her eyes made precise brushstrokes easy. Despite displaying a little jealous at how easy things came to her, Naruto still congratulated her and even got her a book on sealing from the library after he copied it and gave her the copy he made.
As far as sealing went for him, his handwriting was improving quickly although he was far from the perfection that was required in fuinjutsu. He still practiced rigorously 24/7 though, and he also improved his taijutsu style with her hell after she showed him several styles she had copied during her life time. The one he like the most was the tiger style taijutsu she had picked up during an ongoing mission to Iwa, and he seemed to take to its powerful claw striking grabs instantly. He integrated it into his wing Chun style along with Muay chaiya, and despite the flaws in his new style it was still affective. The main flaw was that it was too straightforward, but considering his personality at least it fit him. As the boy she was thinking about began speaking to her in a subdued tone of voice that was particularly unusual, she paid close attention to his soft words.
"Naori hime...I have something I gotta tell you, and I hope you'll understand..I'm not very well liked in the village, and there's a reason why everyone hates me so much. When the kyubi attacked all those years ago the Hokage couldn't kill it, and so he sealed it inside of me. I'm a jinchuriki, the power of human sacrifice, but They don't see it that way. To then I'm just that damned demon Fox, or a weapon to be used and tossed to the side when they're finished. I..."
Her eyes wide as Naruto trailed off with his voice becoming weaker and weaker, the Uchiha didn't really know how to respond to the fact that he had an all powerful demon inside of him. It made sense though, since she had often seen and wondered what the red specks of chakra that circulated within him were. She Began feeling very guilty thinking that I'm essence she had been thinking of using him as a weapon as well, and looking into the eyes she had started to love so much in the short time she said." Naruto...I..didn't know.. I can't imagine the pain you've been put through. A hero shouldn't be treated like dirt for saving the same people that hate him. I don't know what to say.."
She had Saud enough as the boy surprised her latching onto her and burying his head in her chest while looking downwards. Hugging her for dear life, Naruto finally blurted out the words he didn't even have to think about saying." Naori chan I love you.. So much!"
She just stood there dumbfounded at his admission, and eventually she pushed him away with a pained look in her eyes saying." Naruto.. I..can't lie to you. When we first met here.. I only really wanted you to help me kill Itachi.. But now there's something more..I.."
Tears instantly started to fall as Naruto realized she had been manipulating him like the others, and he couldn't believe that she would do something so full when all he wanted was to be with her. As she started to speak again, he rose his head with a look of utter betrayal that pierced her heart, and she never got the chance to say anything else before he disappeared in a swirl of wind without any hesitation. He had just been about to ask her to come away with Jim to whirlpool, but now he didn't want to ever see her again. It pained his heart deeply, and after arriving in his apartment every step seemed to last an eternity as her betrayal stung him in the depths of his soul. Why couldn't he ever just meet a girl that loved him for him, without anyone or anything to get in the way. Hinata had been forbidden from seeing him, Sakura was stuck on Sasuke although she did still blush because of him sometimes. And now Naori basically said she only valued him because he showed a little skill that she wanted to learn or use. The fact that the first thing she had asked him was about his jutsu only reiterates that troubling fact. He honestly didn't want to have anything to do with this stupid village anymore, and since he had already sealed the few belongings he was taking to whirlpool he decided to finally do what he had been ready to do anyways. Leave.
Arriving in a swirl of leaves far outside the leaf village walls, Naruto didn't look back at its defensive walls and transformed into his Phoenix form after using a one handed seal. He had learned a while back that birds had hollow bones which made then lightweight enough to fly, and he had applied this newfound knowledge and created a cool orangish Phoenix transformation that combined the best features of different birds from the book. It was agile like a hawk, could swivel its head like an owl, and had sharp talons and broad wings that allowed for faster and further travel. Since whirlpool was easy of fire country, he set out in that direction hastily with a few stray tears flowing from his eyes as he flew.
~Many hours later~
Flying over the lush landscape of fire country and taking in the scenery to keep his mind occupied, Naruto tried his hardest to erase Naori from his thoughts and memories permanently to no avail. After a little while he started getting hungry but pressed on regardless not wanting to waste any time. It wasn't long before he passed over a humble village that was bustling with people and he decided to take a quick rest before setting n out again. As he landed and a little girl pointed at him in fascination, he didn't even care about the attention he was receiving as he looked for a small restaurant. At least he could still send a clone to Ichirakus he mused feeling guilty about suddenly leaving without telling them, and as Naruto created the doppelganger and sent it off he continued on a few more blocks before seeing a disturbing sight. There was a young girl his age that was searching through a dumpster with a look of desperation, and as he halted he was appalled when several villagers began shouting at her to get away and they even called her a worthless orphan. She ran off in tears at their harsh words, and Naruto getting angry gave chase to her and saw that she didn't make it far before getting winded. Appearing in front of her suddenly startling her, he looked concerned and said." Hey, I saw what just happened and don't listen to then ok!? I'm an orphan too and my village treated me like trash, but it turns out I'm the heir to the greatest clan of shinobi to ever live. I'm Naruto Uzumaki and I'm pleased to meet you Dattebayo!"
As the surprised girl wiped her eyes dry and sniffled a little she hesitantly took the hand he extended to her and was instantly mesmerized by his eyes that were blue just like hers were. She had long reddish brown hair, blue eyes, a worn kimono and a headband tied around her head that made her hair a little messy. Seeing Naruto beaming at her as he took her hands with his own she slowly told him." I'm..Amaru. I..."
She didn't get to continue before a few villagers approached the pair rudely saying." You should be careful and leave that homeless orphan alone boy! She has some kind of disease and it's contagious. If you know what's good for you you'd-"
A fist suddenly impacted his chest sending him sprawling as Naruto stood over him looking furious. The blonde coldly told him." And!? I've never gotten sick in my entire life so I'm not a coward that's scared of a couple germs like you are! Instead of making her life harder you should have the heart to help her if she is sick! You're the only one worthless here you bastard!"
Reappearing next to Amaru and grabbing the blushing girl by her waist causing her to blush more than she already was, Naruto looked into her eyes and confidently said." Come on, you're with me now, and I won't let anything bad happen to you ever again! That's my word, and I never break it! That's my nindo, my ninja way!"
After shunshining with an overwhelmed Amaru and arriving a little outside of the village Naruto let her go but the girl was quick to latch back on and she started sobbing. Naruto was at a loss for what to say when she started speaking through her son's saying." Thank you..so much Naruto kun! You're the first person to ever care for me ever! Please keep holding me!"
Naruto silently stood with her in his arms shushing her while he used a seal and created a clone to in seal some barbecue and instant ramen. As the clone began cooking and she finally noticed she looked hopefully into his eyes and asked." Y-You're a ninja...Can..you teach me to be a ninja too!?"
Now Naruto was in an unforseen situation that could possibly halt his journey to whirlpool, but wing the Lind of person he was he couldn't refuse the girl who obviously had nothing else to look forward to. He was sadly her only lifeline, and despite the fact that they had just met Naruto felt a strong kinship with her due to his own similar experience in Konoha. Running his hand through her long hair without even thinking about It he told her." Don't worry Amaru chan. I'll teach you and I'll make sure you can always take care of yourself from now on. Let's eat some food first though cause I'm starving!"
As both their stomachs growled in unison they blushed at each other before smiling genuinely and slowly breaking the embrace." She's actually pretty." He thought to himself as he examined the redhead girl that couldn't stop blushing at him." And she likes me..."
Then Naruto getting curious did something he never did before. Grabbing the girl by her waist with both of his hands, he leaned I'm and captured her lips with his own kissing a girl for the first time in his life. The experience was extraordinary as she moaned and stuck her tongue in his mouth on instinct, and his eyes going wide he wrapped his arms around her tightly and returned the tonguing full force. It was sloppy and wet, but Naruto loved the feeling as his member began bulging and pressed into her, and when she grabbed it through his pants moaned and began setting her down as he lay on top of her. His heart was pounding as he began undressing her and pulled down his ninja pants. His length was throbbing as she took hold of it and began lining it up with her moist folds, and Naruto grunted in ecstasy
As he entered her feeling the unique warm embrace of a girl for the first time. It was all Kiba had talked to him about besides training, and Naruto had been curious about sex but afraid to bring it up with anyone else. He hadn't been thinking when he kissed Amaru, and his body had been moving on autopilot when he took it further. In all honesty he had been removed of his mother a little since she also had red hair, and since Naruto wanted companionship more than anything else he had decided he'd make sure Amaru was all his from the start, even if unconsciously. As he slowly trusted into her tightness, he clenched his teeth because of how good it felt. He didn't last ten minutes before his legs began feeling like jelly, and this must have been what Kiba had called shooting his load. If he didn't pull out now, Amaru would more than likely get pregnant, and this turned him on even more as he exploded inside if her without warning with a roar of triumph. As she came from the feeling of his seed filling her completely, Naruto leaned in and kissed the panting girl who looked at him with love. Still twitching inside of her with his eyes lidded, Naruto leaned down and captured her lips barely noticing his clone had dispelled a while ago, and realising she must have still been hungry he created another and had it come back and feed her. The girl seemed to be in another world and they spent the rest of the day talking and Amaru told him her new dream. She just wanted to be by his side forever and make his clan great again when they had children.
~4 days later~
"Will she be alright!? Naruto exclaimed worried standing over the unconscious form of his girlfriend with a medic nin one of his clones had found when she suddenly collapsed while he was training her. He had been happy to see she could indeed mold chakra, but her stamina had been worse than even an elders because of her sickness, and although she showed fierce determination not wanting to disappoint her sensei and boyfriend she had pushed herself too far. Naruto had been worried but she had kept assuring him she was fine, but then a little while later this had happened. Her breathing was uneven and labored, and Naruto had never been as scared as he was now at this moment. Itachi and the masked man had been nothing compared to this, and he never wanted to feel so hopeless again. He prayed she would be alright, even if she couldn't be a kunoichi he would never abandon her.
~The next day~
As Shinno the kind man who had successfully healed Amaru gave Naruto the good news of her recovery and being illness free, the blonde expressed how grateful he was and decided to ask the man about the medical techniques he used. If he could learn from the medic along with Amaru, then he would never be helpless in this sort of situation ever again. The man seemed to beam at him and agreed telling Naruto that helping others was what life was all about. The two of them talked for hours about It until Amaru began coming to, and Naruto was instantly by her side and smiling brightly down at her saying." Hope I was in your dreams Amaru hime. You're not sick anymore isn't it great!? Everything's gonna be fine I even got us a teacher to learn medical jutsu!"
As the blonde ranted on and on while holding her close to him Shinno smirked thinking of how the two of them could prove useful. They both would feel indebted to him, and the boy had the most powerful chakra signature he had ever felt. All he had to do now was show them a bit and wait while his plan came together.
Don't assume pairings folks, many twists coming soon! Btw Naruto will still send clones to the leaf, but he will be travelling around and getting into trouble of course!
