Chapter 2: Moon Fang

"Never moon a Werewolf."

~ Mike Binder

"Nī-chan, we're going to be late." Nariko shouted from the bottom of the stairs, her outfit now consists of Knee-length grey-colored shorts, grey arm-warmers, and a white vest with a high collar over a tube top, and grey thigh-high, fur-lined boots, Kunai and Shuriken holster attached to the rear of her belt. The remainder of her hollow mask is in the form of stretching from the back of her head around to the eyepiece on her left eye, with the flame pattern changing to emerge from the eyepiece and follow the mask fragment around to the back of her head while the mask itself is connected, by two chains, around her right eye.

She tapped her foot impatiently as she stood in the hall of a very spacious clan compound, 'Ten families could fit in here' she walked over to the large portrait hanging on the wall showing the happy couple of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, 'Would you two care for me the same way you cared for Nī-chan.'

"Of course they would you worry way too much girl, soon your hair will be turning grey and your face and boobs will sag…" a female voice echoed in her mind, Nariko twitched and shook her head "Quiet Lilynette-chan, but thanks for the reassurance."

A thud drew their attention to Naruto who stood at the bottom of the stairs who threw her a box shaped package, "These came in yesterday night, and yes they are the perfected version."

She opened the box to reveal two ornamental pistols along with a brown belt and holsters "The black one's Yin and the white one's Yang."

"Their great…in fact perfect, Dattebane." She said rubbing her cheek against one, Naruto opened his own to reveal a steel grey belt and holsters along with one black pistol and one crimson pistol. Naruto during this month along with Nariko figured out the secret to Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clones) and soon immersed themselves in learning as much as they could, Kakashi popping in once in a while to get Nariko to Genin level and training them both as well; both had taken to Fūinjutsu like fish to water, causing Kyūbi to have fits of laughter and Naruto to be very annoyed with it.

Soon they learned the Chakra control technique Leaf Balancing and Tree Walking, they would begin on Water Walking later, but what they understood was that Nariko not only had great Chakra reserves like Naruto but also control inherent of a girl. Kyūbi had stated that Nariko could possibly gain perfect control but the control she had now would be sufficient for now and the fact in bringing her to life the seal split into equal parts separating half of Kyūbi's chakra reserve and giving Nariko a blob of self sustaining Yōki that with the help of the seal Lilynette could control.

Kyūbi recovered from the loss of half its chakra quite quickly and soon began helping Lilynette and Starrk train the two young Namikaze's, Naruto and Nariko first learned the basic defense of an Arrancar (Broken Mask), Hierro (Iron Skin) a technique that condenses a users energies to create Iron-hard skin strong enough to block any weapon, allowing the two to fight opponents barehanded but they had no idea if chakra powered weapons could be blocked or not. But due to their immense reserves they could easily use this technique and even use it as a constant chakra control exercise.

The second technique they learned is High-Speed Regeneration (Chōsoku Saisei) a supplementary ability, according to Starrk High-Speed Regeneration allows Hollows to recover from any damage that they sustain by causing them to heal at an increased rate, closing the wounds on their body and causing any limbs that they have lost to grow back. Despite the many benefits that it provides many Hollows chose to abandon this ability for greater power, While high-speed regeneration is indeed a powerful ability, it is not without its flaws. Despite the extent to which it can heal the body, certain internal organs such as the brain cannot be regenerated; if such irreparable damage is sustained, the rest of the body can continue to regenerate, though to no avail. This is where Kyūbi cut in stating that due to its Yōki' presence in both of them, this ability is powered to a whole new level, but its only flaw now was the fact so long as the head/brain is intact any wound received could be healed.

Pesquisa (Inquiry) is an Arrancar's ability to sense, detect and gauge the amount of Reiatsu (Spirit Pressure) in his or her vicinity. The technique was adapted to gauge the both Reiatsu and Chakra levels, which due to it being similar to sonar it unfortunately when used for the first time knocked both the siblings out with the overload of information due to the fact that their range with the ability was very impressive, Now both could use the technique without shorting out due to information overload and could even lock on to certain targets.

Sonído (Sound) an Arrancar technique which allows them to move at extreme speeds something which Naruto and Nariko knowing their father's renown for such speeds caused both to focus everything on this technique, which Starrk or Lilynette couldn't help the two in any way because this technique was more instinctual than knowledge based, Kyūbi laughed again because both found themselves highly proficient in it, Starrk even showed them a former comrades power in this field called Gemelos Sonído (Sound Twins) causing the Espada to gawk in shock as both of them got it on their first try.

Cero (Zero) and Bala (Bullet) are two techniques they needed more control over, while they could fire off a Cero they couldn't control the amount of power they put into it and hence they might make it more destructive than intended and Bala needed even more control as it is similar to creating a Cero only compressing it to further its power and speed. Both were very lucky that their father created an underground training field which shielded them from being sensed because the amount of destructive power they unleashed would have prompted the entire village to break down their door and lynch them.

They also learned a few jutsu from the clan library, nothing significant, Nariko some Genjutsu and Naruto some minor jutsu that the academy instructors sabotaged him in; both learned the basics for Starrk's Garou (Hungry Wolf) Taijutsu and Kenjutsu style.

Kyūbi stated that it would like to teach them its own fighting style but unfortunately Naruto and Nariko were missing a few appendages, Tails, which its style took advantage of. But told them that it would teach them control over its Yōki at a later date and perhaps even how to use the Bijū Imari (Menacing Ball) which was a demonic version of a Cero and more potent. Kyūbi taught them other things along with the two Arrancars such as strategy, patience which both needed, the right way to use Killer Intent and how to block it.

Soon Naruto began experimenting with seals and the like to recreate Starrk's pistols for himself and Nariko to use, after days and days of using Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clones), what he held in his hand was that work, he had asked Tatsuo to forge them and Naruto used his seals to create a connection between them and his chakra network along with many security seals.

The Black one he holstered had a wolf etched onto its grip and the Crimson one had a nine-tailed fox, both were named 'Wolf' and 'Fox' respectively, Naruto now stood in grey hakama pants and a grey jacket outlined in black, though altered with the collar upturned. A black sash is worn in a manner similar to a matador around his waist. He wears white gloves. The remains of his Hollow mask consist of a fanged bottom jaw that is position along his neck as if it were a necklace.

Now wearing both their belts and securing their swords and pistols, smiled at each other then they heard the clock chime 9:00 am, both rushed to the door "WE'RE LATE!"

.

.

Just outside the academy classroom, a buzz of static masked by the chatter of the 12 year old Genin hopefuls inside revealed two figures, Naruto and Nariko whose face was hidden by a cloak, "I still don't get why you're wearing that stupid cloak."

"It's not stupid and I'm wearing it till our sensei arrives otherwise we would have to deal with too many questions." Sensing two measly presences closing in on their position quickly, she rushed inside Naruto close behind.

Seeing two empty seats beside Sasuke Uchiha, they headed towards them ignoring the odd looks from the class members, Nariko sat in between and Naruto sat at the corner seat. Sasuke just ignored them, but Shikamaru walked down the aisle and noticed Naruto "Hey, Naruto didn't you fail the test."

Naruto pointed to his forehead where his headband was tied signifying his Shinobi status, "Get your eyes checked Shikamaru, there is no way I couldn't pass, Dattebayo!"

"You couldn't even perform a simple clone, Naruto." Shikamaru stated, Naruto countered "Well, it's a simple reason really, I couldn't perform the clone technique because I simply have too much chakra; I overload the jutsu." Seeing everyone's skeptical looks "You can ask Iruka-sensei and Hokage-sama if you don't believe me. Hokage-sama was the one who gave me a different clone technique to use."

Shikamaru nodded accepting the explanation, Naruto asked "Hey Shikamaru, where is Iruka-sensei its past nine already."

"Mendokusē (Troublesome) your clock's too fast, it's only eight thirty." Shikamaru walked away seating himself on a bench behind Naruto.

Naruto sighed but was quickly interrupted by the screeching of two Kunoichi in training, fan girls of Sasuke Uchiha about who came first into the class, 'Glad we accepted Kyūbi's training on how to control our senses now, Nariko.'

'I still say it was hell, but now I'm seeing its advantages, Kyūbi sure was generous giving us a link like this.' Naruto could see her grimace under the cowl, now she understood what he dealt with for years, 'Are those two really the top of this class, C'mon their reserves are not that great, the pinky's is even more pitiful, the Hyūga behind us has more chakra than both of them combined. You can sense it too can't you the Hyūga's strong so is the Akimichi he's got more physical energy, Nara's got spiritual, probably very smart and Uchiha is pretty decent.'

'You missed Sakura, the pink head, she's got plenty of Spiritual and…what the heck you sensed that.' Naruto looked at Sakura in shock.

'She got a load of latent physical energy ready to burst out… Did you notice that Miss Hyūga can't take her eyes off you?' Naruto nodded to Nariko who looked at the two girls as they noticed the source of their affection, she turned to face Sasuke and she could tell the guy was strong but very arrogant just by looking at him, probably will think he is god-like once he gets his oh, so precious Kekkei Genkai the Sharingan.

"Move it Naruto your in the way!" Sakura practically screeched in Naruto's ear, Naruto cleaned out his ear lazily thankful that Lilynette and Nariko broke his crush on her and said one word "No."

"Naruto don't try to act all cool, just because you changed your dress style doesn't mean I'll go on a date with you, you can never be like Sasuke-kun. Now beat it and take your cloak reject friend with you so that I can sit next to Sasuke." Inciting a fight on who would sit next to Sasuke between the girls in the class, bar Nariko and Hinata.

A trickle of Killer Intent flowed from Nariko, who stood to her feet, "Maybe Naruto wasn't being clear, fuck off!"

"Who do you think you are? Coming in here acting like that, I bet you want Sasuke-kun all for yourself." Ino stated pointing an accusatory finger at Nariko who scoffed "Please I'm not interested in boy's who are weaker than me."

The boys just gaped and the girls gasped at her remark, Naruto began snickering seeing Sasuke's furious expression and twitching eyebrow but otherwise he did nothing and just ignored everyone, Sakura and Ino grew increasingly annoyed at Naruto's laughter, directed at their affection they both lashed out, only for Nariko to appear before Naruto and grab both their punches and in the process her hood fell off revealing to everyone her beautiful face, "Don't you dare attack my Nī-chan, you harpies."

She shoved them back and seated herself between Naruto and Sasuke, 'Y'know that their punches wouldn't even hurt me anymore, they'd probably break their own hands if they tried; you didn't need to do that, Nariko-chan.'

'I know but I wanted them to back off, seriously these girls…' She turned to the now silent group of girls beside their desk, 'Act more like prostitutes than Kunoichi, if they don't get it together they're gonna die.'

'Harsh, Nariko-chan, very harsh but I guess that's the truth, but now we have to deal with an assault of questions.'

'Huh…'

'…Nariko, your hood fell off, everyone is staring at us.' She then noticed the stares she and Naruto were receiving from all the students in the class 'Oh…'

Both siblings began counting in their heads '3, 2, 1'

In a blast of chatter, questions were thrown around aimed at Nariko and Naruto, though Sasuke didn't raise a question himself he was curious, why the girl seemed to resemble the dobe.

Sakura got up from the floor, "Naruto! Drop the stupid clone and perverted transformation jutsu, you're so annoying."

Ino joined her "Yeah we won't be fooled by your pathetic clone, we all know you have no family, you're an orphan."

"They probably abandoned you too, everyone in the village says it, you were so annoying that your family up and left you cause they couldn't stand the very sight of you, if I did half the things you did my parents would ground me for life." Sakura ranted not noticing Naruto's twitching hands, Ino feeling a little angered by Nariko for, still believing her to be a clone of Naruto, pushing her away before spoke "Yeah they said that your parents were cowards and ran and hid while the entire village fought the Kyūbi no Yōko (Nine-Tailed Fox)…"

Before either one could continue they were decked across the face by a furious Nariko, who was told just three words from Lilynette at that moment "Tear… Them… Apart!"

Everyone looked on in shock, including the Last Uchiha as the girl began unsheathing her sword the look in her eyes promising a painful experience for both Ino and Sakura, but stopped by Naruto's hand stopping her swords hilt pushing it back into its sheathe, Nariko looked at her brother a scowl across her face "Why are you stopping me, if you're worried about me killing them then don't, They'll still be breathing by time I'm through. I'll just begin by cutting out their tongues for their stupidity!"

"No you won't, I don't want you to get into unnecessary trouble and besides they're not worth it, bunch of mindless sheep." Naruto spoke in a cold tone scaring everyone on how much the blonde prankster had changed, causing a few classmates to wonder on his changes.

Naruto turned to the now cowering figures of Sakura and Ino, he continued in a cold tone his eyes becoming a sea of ice "Listen well, Haruno-san, Yamanaka-san, Never again speak of matters you know nothing about because the next time you speak about my family in such a manner or insult my sister…I won't stop Nariko from carrying out her threat, I'll join her." Naruto sat down but not before releasing a large amount of Killer Intent and Reiatsu for a few seconds. That blast of energy emanating from Naruto was enough to cause everyone to breathe heavily, the pulse of energy was felt throughout the village causing many to falter in their steps as they felt a ton fall on their shoulders.

That sentence sealed it, this wasn't the dobe they all knew throughout the class year, never would they have ever thought that they would hear Naruto threaten someone like that or the person he threatened would be his own precious Sakura-chan, though Shikamaru Nara thought it was about time Naruto got over his crush on the abusive Sakura Haruno.

Sasuke's thoughts were in a different direction though he was hiding his now shivering hands inside the desk 'What was that immense pressure, how can the dobe control something like that, how could a clan less dobe gain so much power in just a month and a half.'

'I need to learn his power's secrets then I'll be a step closer to killing HIM.'

Naruto sighed as he watched the two girls get up and run towards some empty seats, he flashed a smile to the young Hinata Hyūga before sitting in a reclined position and staring at the ceiling.

.

The aged Sarutobi sighed as he, the clan heads, a select few Jōnin watched the students in the classroom through the Hokage's viewing orb "As you can plainly see, there is another Uzumaki in town, Nariko Uzumaki age 13… by Kakashi and my estimate she is probably the strongest Kunoichi in that class and along with Naruto probably the strongest pair of Genin to come out of the Academy."

Kurenai Yūhi, a kunoichi with long and black, shoulder-length untamed hair, and very unique eyes that are red in color. She wears make-up consisting of red lipstick and purple eye shadow. Her regular outfit consists of a red mesh armor blouse with only the right sleeve visible. Over this is very broad material which resembles bandages with a pattern on it similar to those of rose thorns. Her hands and upper thighs are also wrapped in bandages and she wears the Konoha forehead protector and regular Shinobi sandals "Is she Naruto's twin."

"Yes she is, and before any of you protest to how it is possible, I've checked their blood work myself many times, she is who she says she is. All I know is that a relative of their father took her away after his parents died assuming Naruto perished as well, only to find out Naruto survived 12 years later and being bedridden with a disease and dying she informed Nariko of her brother's existence recently and as you all are aware of the incident of Naruto stealing the 'Scroll of Seals'" Seeing them nod, "Well as chance would have it she stumbled across him and helped him defeat Mizuki."

"Naruto seemed to have changed a lot over the month, any idea on how strong he has gotten." Shikaku Nara spoke, two scars on the right side of his face which are probably his most noticeable feature. Like his son Shikamaru, he has dark hair tied up into a spiky ponytail, dark eyes as well as a goatee. His ears are also pierced. Shikaku wore a meshed shirt underneath his flak jacket, a deer skin coat over that and hand guards.

"Before I answer that question let me tell you this, Naruto that night didn't just learn about the Kyūbi but also about his heritage as well. For those of you who do not know, Naruto is the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki." This revelation caused the ones who were not aware of Naruto's heritage to be shocked "and because of that, he saw me hiding the truth from him a grave offence to his trust and doesn't trust me right now, so for now all Naruto has divulged is that both possess a unique Kekkei Genkai he named VacíoLobo or Blank Wolf and certain abilities."

"Ah, so the pup withholds information, can't you just order him to tell you." Tsume Inuzuka grunted, having quite an animalistic look, she has long spiky brown hair, vertical slit-like pupils, elongated canine teeth and nails. She also has the clan fang markings on her cheeks as well as markings over her eyes and a dark shade of purple lipstick. She wears the standard outfit of a Konoha Shinobi.

"And risk losing whatever little trust Naruto has in me, no, the village isn't helping matters with him but if I were to push him to do something against his will, he'd probably leave the village, while I know that he would never attack the village his parents died to protect, he has already informed me that any attacks on his person or his sister outside of a spar or training he would retaliate violently, regardless of offender's status or importance." Sarutobi saw the realization dawn upon their faces, "Frankly speaking it's because of us he is so distrustful, there're very few people in this village that Naruto truly trusts, the only one in this room is Kakashi."

"What about Jiraiya-sama, does the boy know his connection with him." Hiashi Hyūga questioned, he had long dark brown hair and featureless white eyes like all members of his clan. He normally wears very traditional, loose fitting robes with a cloak.

Sarutobi sighed "Oh he knows alright…"

***Flashback***

Naruto and Nariko had just handed in their Shinobi Registration and ID Photo's to the Sandaime, who flinched at the cold look Naruto was giving him, "How have you been Naruto."

"Fine, just training something the Academy instructors bar Iruka-sensei never bothered to." Naruto spoke his tone angry, the Sandaime hung his head in shame then noticing Nariko "How have you been Nariko, Kakashi has told me you've made impressive progress in your fundamental training and are more than capable for the level of Genin."

"Hai, it's all thanks to Nī-chan and Kakashi-sensei." She said giving the Hokage a smile; he nodded smiling "Glad to hear that."

"Naruto, Nariko I need to ask if you both have gained any abilities, before you start blaming Kakashi know that he didn't inform me of anything, he doesn't need to; I can sense the different power flowing through both of you." The old Hokage leaned forward his fingers intertwining before him, "I'm sure Kakashi has told you about Kekkei Genkai and how they're treated with prestige in villages." Earning nods from both he pressed on "Then if you have abilities that could be termed as Kekkei Genkai know that it could secure your foothold as a clan in this village for there are many here who would love to see you stripped of your clan status regardless of whose child you are."

"We have certain unique abilities and a Kekkei Genkai (Bloodline Limit) named, uh…" Naruto cupped his chin thinking on what to name his new Kekkei Genkai which was quite recently confirmed by Kyūbi, as he thought hard on what to name it, Starrk's voice rang out "VacíoLobo (Blank Wolf), now stop thinking so much you'll break your brain."

Naruto let out a mental 'Hey' as he heard Kyūbi laughing to that, "VacíoLobo or Blank Wolf, that's all you're getting out of me for now."

"It is more than enough, thank you Naruto." Nariko saw the sad smile on the old man's face as he said that, she pulled aside her brother, whispering in his ear to give the old man another chance. Naruto studied Nariko's face before nodding and spoke to the old Hokage "Tell me Jiji is there something else you didn't mention to me."

"You have a Godfather, Jiraiya of the Sannin and your father's teacher…"

"Then he has nothing to do with me or Nariko from this day forth." Naruto spoke harshly, Hiruzen just nodded but still tried to defend his student "Naruto, he had a reason he couldn't take care of you, he had to oversee his Spy network and if he took you under his wing it would've been like flashing a neon sign of who your parents are."

"But he couldn't find five minutes to check on his own godson, Hell! Not even a single letter; I had to find out from someone else that I have a godfather. Clearly he has more important priorities." Naruto scoffed waving his hand "Anything else."

"Your Godmother is Tsunade Senju also one of the Sannin, before you jump to conclusions with her, I sense foul play involving her abandoning her post, you were her only connection to the village and she would've left with you if she had to, I tried to contact her many times but failed, please find out her reason before you cut your connections with her as well."

Naruto nodded to the wizened Hokage before smirking along with Nariko, "Say Jiji, Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clone) transfer memories and experiences right, so why don't you use them for your paperwork."

"…" The old Hokage slammed his head to the desk feeling extremely stupid for having a Genin school him on a Forbidden Technique, but was smiling because Naruto began to call him Jiji again.

~~~Flashback~~~

Of course then both Uzumaki siblings had a run in with his grandson Konohamaru, he began wondering what they've been teaching the boy. He turned to Hiashi and stated "As far as Naruto's concerned Jiraiya is nobody to him."

They nodded understanding the boy's feelings, but as they continued to watch the ongoing events of the classroom which left an irate Inoichi mumbling about setting his girl straight and shocking everyone the energy pulse that Naruto released, The Elder Nara and the newly graduated Nara spoke in unison what was on everyone's minds as the Team placements were announced,

"Mendokusē (Troublesome),really Mendokusē (Troublesome)."

Yo! Today's my birthday so gift me with plenty of Reviews.
