Chapter 2: the truth
In Myobokusan
Naruto grabbed the towel and walked to the bathroom. She needs to clear her mind, and of course to clean her body. She felt little relieved as she felt the water that fall from the shower to her body. Maybe it's because she felt like the water took away all her problem. It just too big to faced, and now he couldn't imagine how to live her new life. Well, even though she was born as a girl but then she realized that she definitely never knew the feeling to live as a girl.
Those were terrific things that happened to her life as if she ever asked something big and made a big mistake whether it hurt people or not. It's not her fault when the Kyubi –which is now inside her- attacked the village and killed many people. She hadn't forgotten about the way the villagers treated her with those hatred and yet she thought that she already became a nice girl who is not tried to make any revenged toward the villagers' actions because of the hatred. Then why it has to be her who bears the entire burden? It's just not fair and neither had she ever asked to be the kyubi container.
'So, you are rejected me?' The deep voice startled her.
'Kyubi... I didn't mean to...I'm sorry...'
Kyubi sighed. 'I know its hard kit, do as you like now, you deserve to be happy. Choose any part in your life. I'm here to support you. And I do apologize for all the mess you felt in your life because of me'.
Naruko surprised. 'Apologize? No...No... It's not all your fault. Its because you are under control by Madara when you destroy the village, that's why Otou-san had to put you on me. I should not to be so selfish, just think about my own suffer. Gomen...'
Kyubi smiled slightly, he knew his kid is a good girl.
'Ano..Kyubi..Uhm..Actually, do you already know about my gender?'
Kyubi sighed again. 'Yes... at first, I was happy to wait for seeing you suffer when the secret revealed. But, back then... I felt guilty...I'm sorry Naruko...'
Naruko gave him a sad smiled. 'That's okay nii-san...'
No more voice, she knew that mean the kyubi has left. Naruko feel little relieved when she knew that kyubi will stand behind her and that would help to cheer her up. Kyubi is like her onii-san now and they could talk each other like friend just after the last battle with Madara. Kyubi became so nice to her since then and always try to cheer her up when she about to fall down because of she lost hope.
She turned off the shower and then grabbed her towel, wrapped it around her body and walked out from the bathroom. She took the clothes which are on her bed. It was a short kimono. Just like a battle type in orange and black color. She put the tank top first and the short kimono then she put the short pant along with the skirt and just after she got the most comfortable way she tied up her hair which is now about her waist which is become very long in a short time.
She left the room and walked to the living room. When she entered the living room, grandmother toad looked at her and gave her a smile. "Come on Naruko-chan, you should eat first" she said.
Naruko nodded, she took the nearest chair and sat. Facing the disgusting meal. Well, it's Toad Village actually and she used to eat this kind of meal, and also she just too lazy to say something about the food. She took the first bite. Not bad at all... or maybe I just become so familiar with this food. She chuckled because of her own mind. "What up's Naruko-chan?" Asked the grandmother Toad. "Uhm... nothing, I just think this is delicious" She smiled. Grandmother Toad's eye slightly widened and then smiled to her. "I'm glad you like it, Naruko-chan". They keep ate in silence for a few minutes.
"I'm home" said Fukusaku. "Ah, welcome home honey, come join us here" said his wife. Fukusaku looked at Naruko and smile "Do you enjoy the food Naruko?" he asked. Naruko smiled "Yes" she said.
After they ate, Naruko help grandma Toad cleaned the plates. "Come to see me in the waterfall after you finish" said Fukusaku. Naruko nod then she quickly help to clean the table and left to the waterfall.
Don't bother... it just a line breaker
Naruko's POV
I walked toward to the waterfall with my heart won't stop pounding because I know this is will be an important day for me. My heart kept beating faster as I come closer to the waterfall.
"You are here Naruko" Said Fukusaku as I walked toward him. "Come on, sit down here and just relax, I could see your face become so pale now. I guess the food is suiting you" he tried to make a little joke. I gave him a slight smile "Well, actually I kinda like those foods now" I said with grinned. Fukusaku smiled at me.
"Then we just need to go on the main purpose why we are here, what do you think Naruko?"
"Y...Yes... I think so..." the only thing that I said, Fukusaku took out some scrolls in front of me. "These are what your mother had left for you, she asked me to give you those when you turn back to your true form and explain everything about the truth" said Fukusaku with serious look on his face. I took one of the scrolls and slowly open it. "Those are clothes and all the equipments which is you need while you turn back to your normal form" he explained. I nodded.
"Naruko... now ... the reason why your parents put those henge to you is because... they are trying to protect you..." He paused and seek some clues how to explain the problem.
"But why? They didn't need to put the henge just to protect me for 17 years. I actually feel ashamed with this condition. But still I believe that my parents would not make me suffer because the henge" I cried the words.
Fukusaku sighed. "Your mother is a beautiful konouchi, she was born with different cakra, which is made her being admired by many people and also feared by many enemies..." he paused, then looked to the sky trying to remember the past. "She had been kidnapped by the enemies who wanted her power, but your father saved her when nobody knew where she was. That was the moment when she finally fell in love with Minato. Your mother with her different and special cakra was always being a target for the people who wanted power. That's why she always being kidnapped. Fukusaku smiled to the sky, he still trying to catch the past.
"But, the worst moment came over to their life. Your mother was kidnapped for the umpteenth time, but this time, the culprit was a man from Akatsuki, his name is Kisame. And then... your mother... had almost got raped by Kisame... " I could feel that my eye widened as I heard those words. "That happen when she was seventeen, even though she was one of the best kunouchi, she still felt fear and she didn't want that happen to you..." I couldn't believe what I just heard. "When Kisame failed to raped her, he was so vindictive to her and your father... because they almost killed him..." Fukusaku looked at me, and then gave me a sad smile.
"He is managed to incite the villagers that she could be a threat and the villagers began to hate her, some of them tortured her, put her into the well, damaged her house, and even trying to raped her too... because they thought that she was a monster like what they did to you... but, Minato was always there for her..." Fukusaku showed his sad face. I couldn't say anything.
"W..What?" I gasped. "And I bet that you already knew about your mother, she is the latest jinchuriiki of Kyubi and she had became the Kyubi container when she turned twelve... but... you was born with Kyubi inside you. That's why your parents felt that you had to be protected at least not known as a girl. Your father had the feeling that you will experienced many bad events in your life... both of them are afraid that you'll had face those kinds of raped or something while you grew up to be a teenagers ... so they decided to protect you, which is made them think that they had to put the henge to you and believed that when you turned to seventeen, you can protect yourself now and also asked me to train you too".
I shocked, I feel like falling in the deep hole. I couldn't imagine how worst the reality that I had to face. I wish like I never heard those words and pretend that it's never happened. Mother... almost got raped? And because of that she made sure that I won't experience those things...
I could feel a single tear which is came down to my check." Why? ...Why it had to be my family who feel those nightmares? Why me? ". I started cry. Fukusaku could only show his sad face and sympathy. "I'm trying to be a good person in my life, I loved Konoha and tried to protect the Village while they just show me their hatred, put me in the worst condition, left me dying on the street until Sandaime jiji took me..." I paused my words while tried to catch my breath, I could tell that there so many pain inside my heart.
"Many of them tried to kill me and left me in loneliness. I took away all the hatred I had to them and keep showed my fake smile. I had no parents and never knew who they are for sixteen years in my life and almost believed that I had no one until I met my father and mother when I had to face the demon that the villagers always said about me. I accepted all those things and when I thought that the worst thing is that I was born as a girl and lived my life as a boy for seventeen years, now I know the truth that why my parents put the damn henge to me... I... I couldn't imagine what will come worst than this... now I just think that Kyubi is much better than the villagers... at least he's with me ... " I cried out loud, letting the pain came out. I felt miserable now and just think to let it out all the pain, hoped that everything will turned back to normal, even I didn't know how to turned all the mess in my life to normal things.
End of POV
Don't bother... it just a line breaker
Naruko lay on her bed, thinking how much pain that she gathered today and how could this will became worst than before. Her life is a mess as she knew that the first thing in her life was everyone blame her for the incident 17 years ago when Kyubi attacked the village, just because she is the container of the Kyubi and they thought that because of her, the Yondaime Hokage –her father- die to protect the village. But, she never thought that her life is just really a worst before she found out that she was actually a girl. But now she couldn't stand anymore for anything worst that will come again, her life is just a nightmare for her now.
'Are you okay, Naruko?'
Naruko startled as the Kyubi spoke to her. 'Nii-san... Yeah... I guess I'm okay...I just need some rest to compose myself'
Kyubi sighed. 'Listen my girl... I will make sure that there is no more worst thing will happen to your life, I'll guarantee that. I'm here for you... always',
Naruko gave a slight smile. 'Thank you nii-san... I'm glad you are here...'
'Ne.. Naruko... promised me...'
'Hm? What?'
'Be happy Naruko... you must... find your own happiness, you deserve it'.
She blinked slightly then gave him a smile, a true smile, with no fake.' I will nii-san...'
The conversation stopped by a knock door. "Naruko..." Grandma Toad called her name. She walked to the door and opened it. Grandma Toad stood in front Naruko with a small jewellery box in her hand then she handed it to Naruko.
"It yours now..." she said. Naruko looked at the small box. "Can I open it?" Grandma Toad nodded. She slowly opened the box and found a beautifully hair pin with golden colour. "This...is..." she said as she looked to the Grandma Toad seeking for an answer. Grandma Toad nodded and then explained. "It's your mother hair pin, her favourite one. She told me to keep it and then hand it over to you when you turn seventeen as a present for your birthday..."
Naruko looked at her with teary eyes. "Today is your birthday Naruko-chan, don't mess it with that stupid thought of yours for being so suffer. Now you deserve happiness. Your mother was so happy when you was born and either with your father. They loved you so much, and you knew it right? ... Well... Happy birthday... Naruko-chan..." Grandma Toad smiled at her.
Naruko let the tears came down to her check. She didn't know how many times she had cried today, but she ensured that this time she cried for a bunch of happiness. "Thank you ... Grandma Toad" She said with a smile on her face.
'It's beautiful! I can imagine when you wear it. It would suit you a lot. Hahaha. It's time to be more feminine!'Kyubi shouted with a large grin on his face.
Naruko chuckled.' You think so? Ng... Well, I will use tomorrow because now it's time to get some rest, nii-san'
Kyubi smiled to her. 'I'm glad you smile again, back then I was afraid that I wouldn't find your beautiful smile again'.
Naruko could feel her eyes began to teary again. 'Thank you for being here nii-san...' She cried again.
'Aww...No, don't cry anymore kit, smile! At least for me and for those Toads who's concerned about you'.
She smiled. 'Yeah, you right... I will be happy... I promise!'.
'Yeah! That's my girl!'
Grandma Toad looked at her with sad smile. "Ne... Naruko-chan... It's time to sleep. Get some rest honey. You need to gain your stamina." She said it before she excused herself.
Naruko closed the door behind her and walked to the bed then sat on it. She looked at the hair pin. It's beautiful. She thought then stored it in a drawer bedside table and went to sleep. Maybe... I could have some sweet dreams tonight.
