Hey guys, whats up? Usually I would be writing the next chapter of Intertwined Fate but then I decided, this new fanfic was too short, I want it to be at least 10k before I decide to have people see if they like it. Thus I started this chapter in order to see if it's actually popular or not.
On a side note: I'm thinking of writing a Cage of Eden/Naruto Fic, not sure how or if itll go through but just an afterthought for my obsessive rambling.
Anyways, lets get to it!
I do not own Naruto, I do however have a theory about why Hinata likes Naruto. I think Kishimoto gave Hinata the crush for Naruto knowing she would have a big chest. He wants to make it up to Naruto for making him an idiot on planetary proportions, but whatever, its his way or repenting so let him have it.
"Thanks umm...is your name Kyuubi or Yoko or what?" Kasumi wondered as she felt herself leave the mindscape.
"Oh right, its been a while since I told someone my name. The last person that called me by my name is long gone but I guess I can tell you." Kyuubi said.
She was waking up but she could hear his name clearly.
"My name is Naruto."
Kasumi woke up with a startle, she was soaked in sweat, the bright light that illuminated the room signified that it was the morning. How long was she out she wasn't sure, but apparently the bandages she had on weren't properly taken care of. Her thoughts strayed to what happened before she lost consciousness
She was fighting that guy...girl Haku. Apparently she was getting her ass kicked every way possible, clearly outmatched and out skilled. She didn't know why she even felt angry seeing that Uchiha-prick 'die'. Then she apparently tapped into the Kyuubi's chakra, and apparently she made contact with the Kyuubi. She also remembered the mob that showed up after the Mist-nin's defeat, she used Kage Bunshin to take out the mob but proceeded to faint due to the exhaustion of the Kyuubi's chakra.
As it turned out, the Kyuubi wasn't a homicidal maniac that wanted destruction and doom for every living being on earth. Also to add injury to insult, he treated her better than the villagers and any other person in that damn village. She wondered if she was imagining things, after all, a 'Demon' treating her better than 'humans', it was almost unreal, the irony of that statement.
'Must have been a dream' She thought.
"Afraid not kit, we actually did meet. I should probably remind you not to act more differently than you were before. I'll tell you this in case your memories are interfering with your 'dobe' memories. There's no one in the village, except 3 people that wouldn't kill you in a heartbeat. Those people are the Ichiraku's and the Older Uchiha. Don't trust anyone else." Kyuubi said.
"Kyuubi? What the hell, where are you? Wait, never mind, why should I trust you anyway? I told you not to call me Kit remember? And why the hell are my memories all warped? You didn't do anything to them did you?" Kasumi accused.
"It's your choice whether you trust me or not, we can make our lives easier or worse for each other, and I for one would like a bit more freedom, not out of the cage, just someone to screw with and maybe change your damn mindscape, a sewer is not a place that inspires kindness and bubbly personality. I call you kit as long as you call me Kyuubi. Sure I have nine tails but so what, dogs have one tail, will you call it Ichibi? Titles are just a thing Ningen came up with in order to control your own kind.
They try and call themselves superior because they give themselves a higher standing on top of another and they think they control them. As for your memories, last time I told you that I fixed your brain remember, your past thoughts were thoughts of when your brain was mentally broken, right now this is your true personality, not that obnoxious, knuckleheaded idiot that forgave every fucking assassination attempt because they said 'I'm sorry'. Seriously, though no offense, that 'dobe' you was horrible. Oh by the way, remember to talk with your mind, you were talking outloud before." Kyuubi said.
'Gee, how can I not take offense to being called a retard. But seriously, since your an all-knowing ball of fur, why did you attack Konoha? Do you know who my dad was? Who was my mom exactly? What did you mean before when you haven't been called Naruto in a long time, and Naruto, that's a stupid name.' Kasumi said mentally.
"Slow down Kasumi, I'll answer all of those questions eventually but first, we have to be in a secure location before I tell you anything. Also, screw you, my name is awesome, sure it means 'Fishcake' but it also means 'Maelstrom'. At least mine doesn't mean 'Mist' or 'Flower' and 'Clear'." Kyuubi/Naruto said.
"Hey, I might not have a cool name but at least it isn't a food.' Kasumi yelled mentally.
"I'm a food that goes into Ramen, so it's awesome."
'Damn, you got me there. Ramen is awesome.'
"Anyways, we'll talk later, you might start thinking differently, no scratch that, you will think differently than before. You'll see people's true colors and not the way the 'dobe' you saw them. Be careful how you talk to them." Naruto said.
'Thanks I guess. We'll talk later.' Kasumi said.
Just then the door swung open, revealing her so called 'teammates' Sakura Hauno, Uchiha Sasuke and her 'Sensei' Hatake Kakashi. Now remembering her previous thoughts of her teammates, she found it amazing how much of an idiot she had become.
Hatake Kakashi, the chronic lateness was annoying upon itself but with his hobby of reading porn in daylight, it was no wonder he hadn't gotten laid yet. Apparently he was an Anbu captain but he lost against Zabuza so easily and he even revealed his Sharingan the 'ultimate' dojutsu. He seemed to inherited the Uchiha arrogance from it. His affection towards her was insane, it was like he was constantly trying to get her in bed, probably because he was his 'Sensei's daughter and she resembled her mother who apparently he was crazy about. How did her 'dobe' self miss that? Its fuckingn disgusting. He probably wanted to marry into the Uzumaki Namikaze clan or some crap like that to gain power in Konoha. Not to mention he was Sasuke's butt buddy.
Sakura Haruno, how she detested the girl. She gave Kunoichi a bad name, her fangirl-ism was in insane levels and she thought she was better than her. She didn't even do jack-shit on the mission and she would be taking the credit for herself and her 'Sasuke-kun'. Apparently, she also saw Kasumi as a 'Rival' for Sasuke's affection, the thought itself made her want to barf. Her personality was awful, she might as well have been a prostitute with her behavior, she hit on every male heir in the Academy. Nara, Akamichi, Aburame, Inuzuka, all of them she tried to go after. Her clan was no different either, they tried to get her into prostitution so she could 'repay' Konoha. What bull.
Sasuke Uchiha, the most horrific abomination of a human to come out of Konoha, he was arrogant from the beginning and after the Uchiha Massacre, he had a stick up his ass so far that not even the strongest person in the universe could pull it out. He was swimming in his own self pity and demanded even more and he still wasn't happy with it. He also treats his mother like she's beneath him and tells her to do women stuff, poor Mikoto-kaasan, she's been broken will ever since her other son, Itachi killed most of the Uchiha clan.
Sasuke even had the nerve to ask the Council to make her his wife because she didn't listen to him, the council almost agreed to it but Sarutobi told them that wait until she's older because she would be useless after she had kids, and they agreed. How bad was Konoha, the 'Greatest' hidden village in the Elemental Nations.
She was about to snap at them but she kept her facade easily.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Kasumi said with a smile.
Just then, Sakura came up and smashed her head, "Kasumi-baka! You've been sleeping for a day now, its about time you got up." Sakura yelled.
"Pfft, dobe's too weak to even get up on the right time." Sasuke said.
"Now now, even if its her fault, lets get to work." Kakashi said, dismissing the little fight of her team.
'I was hurt and you're blaming me for recovering fast, what a load of crap Kakashi. Why do I have a crappy team again...oh yeah, I was an idiot and I doubt anyone would volunteer. Fucking Pedophile.' Kasumi thought.
"Sorry sorry, so, what do we do?" Kasumi asked.
"YOU go help tazuna with the bridge, I'm going to go train Sasuke and Sakura, have fun." Kakashi waved before grabbing the other genin and dissapearing with a Shushin.
"Fuck you too, Teme's." Kasumi mumbled.
Kasumi got her stuff together and went downstairs to find Tsunami cleaning up the table. Tsunami looked up to see a slightly disheavled Kasumi.
"Oh Kasumi, your up. How are you feeling?" tsunami asked.
"Fine, do you have breakfast?" Kasumi said.
"Eh? Your team just told me you didn't want any." Tsunami said.
'Of course.' Kasumi said
"Its Ok, tsunami-san, I'm not that hungry anyways." Kasumi said with a nervous laugh.
Kasumi proceeded to work on the bridge with Tazuna. With the help of a few hundred clones, they got the job done faster. It didn't take long to complete the bridge, it took about a week. Kasumi was becoming pretty popular around town because of her clones that went around repairing homes. She learned how to fix minor problems because of her shitty apartment. After what seemed an eternity with the idiot threesome known as her teammates, they had finished the bridge and were ready to leave.
Luckily they missed the conversation when they decided to name the bridge, they named it the Great Kasumi bridge.
On there way back to Konoha, she stayed quiet for the trip, but she was actually having a converstaion with the Kyuubi.
"So what are you going to do kit?" Naruto said.
"What do you mean?" Natsuki thought.
"Are you going to stay in Konoha, that place is a hell hole you know. That monkey is just trying to find a way to make you loyal to that place. I'll tell you this, besides 3 people, there's no one in that village that doesn't want to kill you."
"I know, but if I leave then they'll sent Anbu, hunter-nin and squads after me. I might have better thinking process now but I'm no idiot. I'm going to leave that village but I don't have the power for it yet. I'm stuck there until I get more training, which is never in that village." Kasumi said with a growl.
"Then I'll train you." Kyuubi said.
"What?" Kasumi said surprised.
"I said I'll train you." he repeated.
"Umm...that's nice of you and all but I doubt I can use any of your moves and your Youki is too dangerous for me to use." Kasumi complained.
"Kit, how old do you think I am?"
"I dunno. over a millenium?" Kasumi said.
"Exactly, I've had over a millenium of your human's pitiful attacks you human's call Jutsu's. I probabrly know most of the Jutsu's in the entire world. Also, I'm not teaching you how to control my 'Youki', it's not even demon energy." Kyuubi said.
"Wait, how can it not be Youki? Aren't you a demon?" Kasumi said.
"Well I once was but not anymore, I look like a fox because of unfortunate circumstances. But understand this, I am not a demon. I'm just a mass of Chakra, more specifically living chakra." Kyuubi said.
"Living Chakra?" Kasumi wondered.
"Yes, the difference between your chakra and mine is that your chakra is essentially 'dead', which allows you to manipulate it to your hearts content. However, living chakra such as myself has a will. Why do you think your Jutsu's don't hurt us. your throwing dead chakra at a living organisim, it can't fight the chakra. You can't control my chakra because it moves too much in your chakra coils, it prods for any release because it seeks to get out into the open. I think you can call it a variation of Nature chakra, its more like emotion Chakra I guess."
"Ok, now your confusing me." Kasumi said.
"It's probably over your head right now so I'll just say it simply. My chakra is alive, yours is dead. You can't manipulate living chakra and it hurts you when you try."
"Oh."
"So anyways, I can train you. Compared to that monkey that's known as Kami no Shinobi(God of Shinobi), who supposively knowns over a thousand jutsu's, I probably know 10 times as many(Exagerrating but this is Godlike Naruto). So, do you want to train?" Kyuubi said.
"Yes Please!" Kasumi chrped mentally. A chance to get out of Konoha just appeared, how wasn't she going to take it.
"Excellent, you even said the magic word. But I should tell you this, you have a jutsu you could exploit to train faster you know." Kyuubi said.
"Really? Which one is it?" Kasumi wondered.
"Sigh...which one do you think. Shadow clones Kasumi. Every time you make one and have it do something, once it dispels, you get all its information. So if you have 2 clones working on a jutsu, you will have it down in half the time. So if you use over a thousand..." Kyuubi left the question hanging.
"Holy Shit!" Kasumi said outloud, drawing the attention of her teammates.
"What is it dobe?" Sasuke said, not really caring what she would say.
"I...just thought off the best ingredient for ramen." Kasumi said like it was the best discovery in the universe.
"Hn..."
"Baka."
"(Perverted giggle)"
Thus they proceeded to ignore her.
"Have I ever told you that you are the best mass of chakra that has been sealed inside my stomach?" Kasumi asked.
"Yeah Yeah, I'm awesome. Alright, when we get back to Konoha, I want you to get some food, get all your money, buy equipment and go to the Forest of death. No one goes there and even ninja are afraid to go in there." Kyuubi said.
"Why?"
"Because it's crawling with big ass insects and gigantic mutation of animals."
"And why would I want to go in there? I'll get killed!" Kasumi screamed.
"Relax, they'll run away from you because they can sense me. Animals are much more self-aware of the planet than humans. Besides its good training, if you can't kill insects, how are you going to kill. And don't give me that crap about not wanting to kill. Your a ninja, its your job to kill. In fact you already killed so there's no problem with that is there?" Kyuubi asked. He wasn't sure honestly. First kills are always a pain to deal with.
"I am...I hope. You're right. Ninja's job is to kill. I'd rather not but sometimes people have to die." Kasumi said, imagining people from Konoha that tortured and beat her.
"that's my girl. Your an Uzumaki through and through. As expected of the Uzumaki clan. They're the only ones that have won my respect. There never die attitude always gave me tingles whenever I saw them in action." Kyuubi said.
"There was an Uzumaki clan?" Kasumi said in surprise. She just thought of the extent of her heritage.
"Hmm...oh yeah. I might as well tell you your whole heritage. Your parents were Kushina Uzumaki of the Uzumaki clan and Namikaze Minato of the Namikaze clan. The Namikaze clan was famous for its wind jutsu's but they were few in number. Uzumaki however was basically wiped from the face of the earth from the 2nd shinobi war. They were related to the Senju clan and they were related to the Rikudou Sennin, whose decendents were also the Uchihas. So to summarize, if I put all those names on yours, you would be Uzumaki-Namikaze-Senju Kasumi, cousin of the Uchiha's, decendsnt of the Rikudou Sennin and related to 3 of the 4 Hokages." Kyuubi said.
"..."
"Oye, you still there?"
"What's...Whats up with my goddamn heritage! Damn, I'm relate to fucking powerful people yet somehow the gods chose me to be the worlds fuck toy! God Damn it!" Kasumi snarled.
'If only you knew Kit.' Kyuubi thought.
"Anyways, take out your frustration on training. If you feel like it, I'll tell you more about things the village has...neglected to tell you." Kyuubi said.
"Damn, I reallly need to vent. Can't wait to kill mutated insects."
"That's the spirit."
"...Hey Kyuu-I mean Naruto..."
"Hmm?"
"Thanks." Kasumi mumbled smiling. She had never thanked anyone honestly without having to do her fake smile, at least not when her brain wasn't fried.
The Kyuubi brought his tail forward and proceede to rub the top of her head with it, it was awkward but the feeling went through. "Anytime Kit."
When arriving at Konoha, she noticed all the glares and murderous eyes fixed on her. Did she honestly think she could change their minds? That she wasn't the demon? She laughed internally at the idiocy of the civilians of Konoha. When they arrived at the Hokage Tower, Natsuki took a moment to access her thoughts on the Hokage.
Sarutobi Hiruzen. The waste of space whose manipulation extend to the very roots of Konoha. He calls himself the Hokage but he hasn't trained a day in more than a decade. He's lost his 'Will of fire' as he tends to put it and tries to force Natsuki's thoughts on. He acts all grandfatherly but never took her serious or even cared for her. He's scum on earth and deserves to be in the stomach of the Shinigami for all she cared. He'd take his frustration out on a child who didn't have any control of the situation, and he's supposively called 'The professor'. His own student betrayed his home, he's pathetic.
She shook of her thoughts and played her 'dobe' mask.
"Hey Hokage-jiji, we're back. Mission accomplished." Natsuki yelled before being bonked in the head by Sakura.
The Hokage growled quietly because she did not die but didn't show it. "Good job Natsuki-chan. Now, why don't you go collect your payment while I talk to Kakashi about your mission." Hiruzen said.
"Ok." Natsuki said, quickly getting her money and went to get ready for her training. Sasuke and Sakura calmly by which meant they went yelling and brooding all the way, proceeded to get their own money.
"Now Kakashi, could you tell me why she's still alive?" Hiruzen said.
"Apparently, she tapped into the Kyuubi's chakra." Kakashi said.
"What!" Hiruzen yelled, almost calling Anbu.
"Hold on Hokage-sama, she clearly hasn't been in touch with the Kyuubi, while she was sleeping, I checked the seal, its perfectly normal." Kakashi said. Unknown to him, he didn't know that she hadd an extra seal put on her so all he knew is Shiki Fuiin, and thus because of the unknown act, Hiruzen did not take action.
"Alright, since the Chuunin exams are coming up in a month, train Sasuke, train Sakura if you want. But make sure you don't let Natsuki see or hear that you're training them." Hiruzen said.
"I understand Hokage-sama." Kakashi said and left the room.
'If we're lucky, that demon will die in the Forest of death, if not then she'll surely be slaughtered during the next part of the test. She's pitifully weak, there's no way she'll even reach Chuunin rank.' Hiruzen thought.
How wrong he would be in the coming months.
After Kasumi got lunch and picked up any and all supplies she could, she created a shadow clone with half her chakra, it would last a while. She snuck into the Forest of death at night and proceeded to set her equipment and build a little home for herself that was well hidden and close to a water source.
"Ok Naruto, what should I work on first?" Kasumi asked.
"Well first you need to get your chakra control to be better, since I'm actually cooperating with you, your chakra control should have improved but you still need more training with it. Make about 50 clones and send them to the water and have them practice chakra control. You have to release a steady stream of chakra, remember that." Naruto said.
Kasumi made a cross shaped hand seal and 50 clones popped. They all went to the watering source. "Now what?" Kasumi asked.
"Next you need to practice your taijutsu and Kenjutsu. You humans have pathetic styles and kata's its an embarrasement. Make 200 clones and have a battle royal. Make 100 clones and have them swing a sword you have until they pop. Shadow clones can help you with muscle memory but not with physical conditioning. After you fight the clones, do 500 punches and kicks, 200 push ups, 300 sit ups, run around for an hour and then rest. That will be the starting exercises." Naruto said.
"What the hell! That's way too much!" Kasumi complained.
"Yeah yeah. But you can't expect to get better without any pain right? The best train themselves non-stop under worse training to get better, don't complain about this simple training." He said.
"I wasn't complaining." Kasumi mumbled before she got to work.
'The girl is too stiff with her movement, no kenjutsu at all and has horrible chakra control with no prior training from anybody. She's going to be a piece of work alright. But still, she's going to be great, anyone that could take the abuse she's been through can become one of the most legendary shinobies out there.' Kyuubi thought as he watched his container training. A small smile crept upon his face looking at the young girl giving it her all before collapsing in exhaustion.
"Good job kit. Eat something and go to sleep. Dispel your clones but not all at once, the information will probably knock you out. We'll see how far you are tommorow." Kyuubi said.
"Fuck...you." Kasumi said.
"Famous words spoken by apprentices everywhere." Kyuubi said as he started healing the girls tired body. Oh yeah, she was going to get stronger fast. He couldn't wait to torture the girl. No he didn't mean training, he really meant torture as in the level of training so high that it looks like torture. After all, there can be no gain without giving up something in return, something her knew...all too well.
(After Kasumi's training finished)
Kasumi was on the floor, panting hard. Her body was pulsing with pain but she was oddly proud of herself that she managed to complete the training. A few seconds later, she got the memories of the clones she sent to practice Kenjutsu and Chakra control, now her whole body AND mind hurt.
"I...so...hate you right now. Dattebayo." Kasumi said panting.
"Hahaha, feel the burn kit. You can't expect there to be no pain, that would be a total waste of time, your going to have to endure a lot of torture and you'll be glad you did." Naruto said.
"Torture? Don't you mean Training?" Kasumi asked, a bit hopeful to avoid the torture.
"It is training. My training makes training seem like torture. Suck it up kit. If you want to be strong, you got to do stupidly exagerrate things to get stronger." Naruto said.
"Right, right...Hey Naruto..." Kasumi said.
"Hmm?" Naruto responded.
"You said there was a person long ago that called you by your name. Who was it?" Kasumi asked.
"...Kit, there are just some things that you have to earn, and my past is one of them. I'll put my trust in you eventually, just give me time. I will tell you this though. Her name was Riku." Naruto said.
"Riku?"
"Yeah, that's enough training for today kit. We'll pick up from here tommorow, your control improved greatly so I'll teach you a few jutsu's tommorow. Get some sleep. Night." Naruto said.
"...Yeah...Good night." Kasumi said. She was worried she hit a sore spot, but she decided to follow his advice and go to bed, lots of things to do, and so little time.
(Next morning)
"Alright Kit, your training will be the same as yesterday, when you finish it I'll teach you the Jutsu's. Have your clones do any and all chakra exercises you know, tree walking, Water walking, senbon and kunai balancing, and combine them. Practice your kenjutsu the same as yesterday." Naruto said.
"You slavedriver!" Kasumi complained.
"Whatever, hurry up and complete the crap I told you to do." Naruto said.
After her hellish training she finally finished her warm up and proceeded to teach Kasumi Jutsu's. He taught her basic jutsu's that would help with simple jutsu's that are really convinient. He taught her Shushin no Jutsu(Body flicker), taught her to sense chakra, and retaught her the 3 basic jutsu's. It also turned out that she needed to be taught how to read and write. Thus he told her to bring the books and any study material she had and taught her from the beginning, much to his chagrin.
He started teaching her about her elemental affinity. Due to being inside her, she actually had all the affinities, but they were all weak except wind. He started teaching her how to use her wind chakra. It was astonishing how well she did when someone was actually giving her sound and clear advice. She cut a leaf in less than a day and proceeded to cutting the leaf in complex shapes. She went on to cutting boulders and to the point where she could make a breeze whenever she wanted to. She learned how to do that in 4 days, needless to say, she was giddy and ecstatic at her new teacher, Kyuubi-sensei or Naruto-sensei.
After that, she left her clones to do the rest of the elemental exercises while Naruto taught her various wind based ninjutsu. Fūton: Renkūdan(Drilling Air Bullet), Fūton: Reppūshō(Gale Palm), Futon: Kaze no Yaiba(Blades of wind), Fūton: Daitoppa(Great breakthrough) and wind release: Spiralling wind ball.
By the time 3 weeks rolled in, her speed, strength and jutsu arsenal increase exponentially. The only problem was that she needed to be able to think ahead. Thus, Kasumi and Naruto played shogi in the mindscape, seeing as how inside the mindscape, time slowed down. Her analytical abilities increased by leaps.
She had also grown taller and developed more because she was getting a steady diet from the forests vegetation and the meats she hunted in the forest. Naruto went as far as taught her how to cook, he complained that she had no idea how much effort he made to convert all the ramen into nutrients she could take in. She would have died prematurely if he didn't act.
It was amazing that no one noticed that the Shadow clone Kasumi that was sent to her home wasn't Kasumi. The only ones that noticed were the Ichiraku's and Mikoto. The clone stayed inside the whole time and when she needed to go to team training, she just told them that she was busy and needed to leave. They didn't even know she was there.
Naruto couldn't teach her any taijutsu because he actually needed to show her the work, he also couldn't teach her Fuinjutsu, it had always been his favorite but he was stuck behind the blasted cage.
Genjutsu was out of the question, not because of her control but because it actually distorted reality. Being a fox, who are speciallist in illusions, they have an uncanny ability manipulating reality, so much that it could transcend time.
One thing Naruto noticed about Kasumi was that she was getting very close to him. It might be because he's the only one that has actually help her as much as he did but he was coming to like the kit. He didn't know how but the kit had wormed her way into his mind but she did.
(Days before exam)
Kasumi was walking randomly in the village. She had been in the forest for close to a month already and Naruto told her to go back because they were setting up for the Chuunin Exams. Apparently there were already many foreign shinobi in the village. She wandered around before she heard the irritated voice known as Sakura. Normally she would have ignored it but apparently someone was doding something to her and she'd be pissed if she died BEFORE the actual exam. She proceeded to go to the disturbance and noticed 2 sand ninja's holding a kid, she knew the kid, he hated her but seeing as how the Sandaime is probably watching her, she had to act.
After a little exchange and Sasuke attempted to look cool, she recognized a familiar chakra, it was similar to a Bijuu.
"Who's there?" She said, looking up towards a tree.
"Baka, its just a tree." Sakura said, apparently blind and had Sasuke-vision.
Just then, sand started to form a body structure which revealed a red-headed boy.
(Canon crap)
"Kit, that's the container of Ichibi. Be careful around him, he's the insane one around the family. Make contact but make it coded. Just call him Mr. 1." Kyuubi said.
"Hey you." She called out Gaara, who turned around, "Hello Mr. 1, I finally get to meet a brother of mine who carries the same burden." She said, as Gaara's eyes widen a bit.
"I see, who am I talking to?" Gaara asked.
"I'm Ms. 9, or Uzumaki Kasumi, a pleasure I'm sure." Kasumi said.
"Ms. 9...Uzumaki...You shall prove my existence...Kankuro, Temari, let's go." Gaara said as the sand siblings looked at the exchange and left.
"What the hell was that about Dobe?" Sasuke asked.
"It's dobe stuff, you wouldn't be interested." She said. Sasuke grunted and left. Sakura departe shortly.
"You know kit, Kakashi is probably going to put you in the exams even if you don't want to." Naruto said.
"Yeah, do you think I'm good enough to get away yet?" Kasumi asked him.
"Your fast enough to outrun Chuunin out of the country but Jonin and up would catch you eventually. I say stay until they give you a reason or force them to, like banishment, they can't add you to the bingo book if they do." Naruto said.
"Probably, we'll see how it goes." Kasumi said.
As predicted, Kakashi signed Kasumi up without permission and was forced to take a 'Mock' test by Iruka, who tried to kill her before he knocked him out. Later in the Chuunin exams she noticed the Genjutsu but stayed quiet. After the little fight in front, Sasuke got into a battle with Rock Lee, who called her the most unyouthful person there was in existence.(Damn, it hurts to talk about Lee like that, he's awesome.). After he got beat up, they went into the exam room, where she saw several familiar faces.
Kiba Inuzuka, those bastards tried to rip her to shreds on more than one occasion. Kiba tried to 'exert' his dominance on her only to recieve a kick in the nads. He has no self control and will try to come onto any women that will let him. He's a dog in constant heat to put it bluntly.
Hinata Hyuuga. After She haved her from being picked on, she goes ahead and attacks her in fear. After learning that her family praised her for it, she focused all her time on making her life worse to get more praise from her father, ignoring her ninja training. She's a meek girl that tries to find any form of acceptance from anyone.
Shino Aburame, he's not bad but he's not good, he prefers to stay out of it but he and his clan are still involved in the periodic beatings that she dealt with.
Ino Yamanaka, damn Mindwalker always messing things up. She's also a fangirl, enough said.
Nara Shikamaru, he's suppose to be a genius but he can't even realize he's been corrupted into thinking the way he thinks. He's a lazy bastard and he's used his clan jutsu's to hold her from running away from bullies.
Choji Akamichi, fat piece of crap is freaking bipolar, one second he's nice then she comes into the picture and he's a total jerk, not even worth the crap they shit out. He and his clan need to eat to be able to use there jutsu's, that's just wierd.
(Canon stuff till Forest of Death.)
Kasumi was familiar with the forest so she had no trouble locating an noticing any unnatural movement or traps that might have been set by the enemies. Naruto had told her to watch out because there was a snake in the grass, but she didn't get the meaning until it was too late.
Orochimaru. An S-class Missing-nin from Konoha. Apparently he was Sarutobi-teme's student but up and left the village because they couldn't see eye to eye. Serves the Teme right for favoring a single student then the whole team. Come to think of it, right now team 7 was pretty much the same thing. One will betray, one will stay, one will be caught by personal turmoil. It was almost a cursed fact by that time.
Here she was, alone, while Sakura and Sasuke left her to die, but not before giving Sasuke a hickey. She cursed her luck, honestly with gambling she was Lady luck herself but with these situations, it seemed like some sort of Karma backlash was out to get her for some reason.
"Ah, Kasumi-chan, so nice of you to join. But what about your teammates?" Orochimaru asked, watching her team leave.
"*sigh* They're useless honestly, one of them mops about how his life is so pathetic and how he needs to be emo to get stronger while the other one just follows and nods and repeatedly asks for her to get laid, its pretty sad. They prefer the easier way than the harder way, they even abandon their teammate, do you really need to ask about my crappy team?" Kasumi said.
"Point, but lets see how well you do, I'm sure that the Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki will be a great warm up." Orochimaru said.
"Why would you think that? Instead of training me, they try to kill me. But still, that doesn't mean I won't hold back." Kasumi said. Charging the Snake.
Although she said that, she knew she stood no chance against Orochimaru, but she was hoping for an opening to run away.
She put chakra into a weapon storage seal and withdrew a Kodachi and started to cut Orochimaru down. Orochimaru with his snake-like movements flowed around it, she added Wind chakra to give it some sharpness and increase its length but to no avail. She jumped backwards and shouted.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." She said, making a single clone. the clone went through some handseals and yelled "Katon: Gokakyuu no Jutsu(Grand Fireball Technique) and she herself yelled, "Futon: Daitoppa(Wind Release: Great Breakthrough). The wind boosted fireball expanded in size before Orochimaru used, "Doton: Doryuheki!" (Earth Release: Earth Style Wall.)" and blocked the fireball. Orochimaru decided that he couldn't let the girl get lucky because she was far more skilled than he thought, he thought it was the Kyuubi's doing.
"Kit, use my chakra, he's too fast for you to keep up." Naruto said.
Instantly her eyes turned red and even with the boost from the Kyuubi, she could barely see him moving. Kasumi jumped to the air and brought her sword up before yelling, "Raiton: Shuurai!(Lightning release: Lightning Strike)". A yellow glow came from her sword as she swung down, immediately sending a strike of lightning towards Orochimaru's body who Kawamiri'd out of the way, the strike caused a deep thin crater to form on the ground. She looked around for any sign of Orochimaru.
She heard a noise coming from under her to see a snake with its mouth open already trying to eat her. The snake clamped down on Kasumi and swallowed her whole. From inside the snake Kasumi yelled, "Futon: Kaze no Yaiba." Cutting the snake from within, she crawled out of the snake covered in its saliva. She recieved an impact to her stomach which sent her rocketing towards a tree and making a dent in it. She got up and looked at the source, Orochimaru was standing unscathed.
"It seems that the Kyuubi's power is giving you extra strength, better put a stop to it." Orochimaru said, appearing in front of Kasumi and slamming his hand into her stomach. "Gogyu Fuuin!(Five Prong Seal.)" He said, causing Kasumi's feral look to recede and faint.
"So much potential, too bad the village forsaked it. Oh well, might as well leave the body to the animals." Orochimaru said, throwing the body to the ground, he was under the assumption that the Kyuubi gave her all her skills.
Kasumi was losing Consiousness.
"Sorry...Naruto...after we finally got to talk to each other..." Kasumi muttered as the darkness began to claim her.
"Oi! Kasumi, don't fall asleep god damn you! Shit! Shit Shit Shit! Your doing this on purpose aren't you Kami!" Naruto yelled from inside its cage, not being able to help Kasumi out. He growled and tried to force himself out of the cage, to no avail.
"Crap, again with the double seal, I can't get chakra to her, can't contact her, I CAN change the seal again but there's no telling what it would do. Sorry Kit, your on your own."
Kasumi lay asleep for a while, luckily there was still residue from the Kyuubi's chakra surrounding the place thus no animal was stupid enough to attack. Kasumi woke up hours later, wondering what happened.
"Kyuubi, are you there, what happened?" Kasumi said.
...
"Naruto? You there?"
...
"Are you mad at me?"
...
"Fine, be that way, who needs you, you stupid furball!" Kasumi exclaimed.
No reply.
"...Ne? Come on Naruto, I'm sorry just...just don't leave me alone again...
...Please?" Kasumi said. Her fear was slowly growing inside of her, the person/chakra being she had come to rely on was now ignoring her, Kami was playing with her now, she was convinced of it. Kami gave her hope to finding a friend, she got trained by him, she was starting to think of him as something more but what does Kami do, takes him away from her, puts her against an S-class ninja and left her alone.
She was actually a very lonely girl.
She dusted herself off and proceeded to find her 'teammates', at the very least they had to stay with her for the time. By the time she found her team, they had been attacked by the sound team, Sasuke activated his demon hickey and was convinced he was kami's gift to the world. They collected a earth scroll from a Ame team and proceeded towards the exam.
(Canon except Iruka was a bastard, everyone gave Kasumi a death glare for survivng, Fights the same until Kasumi's fight.)
"Uzumaki Kasumi vs. Inuzuka Kiba."
"Alright Akamaru, now we can kill that demon." Kiba said, while everyone was screaming for Kasumi's death.
Kasumi herself was so out of it that she wasn't wearing her 'dobe' mask. She was wondering why Nar- Kyuubi hadn't talked to her yet. He hadd never been mad at her before or dissapointed in her but what changed since then.
"Round Uzumaki vs. Inuzuka Kiba, begin!" The proctor yelled.
Maybe something the snake guy did, last thing she remembered was him saying something about a seal.
Kiba rushed Kasumi with his nails sharp and jagged, he took a swipe at her when Kasumi just side stepped it. Kiba continued his onslaught while Kasumi was ignoring him, it made him angrier.
Maybe that guy did something to the seal. He couldn't talk before because there was an extra seal on him, maybe the snake did the same thing.
Kiba and Akamaru attacked with their clan Taijutsu, Kasumi just jumped evaded and kawamiri'd out of the way, surprising everyone and further outraging the Inuzuka berserker.
Then Naruto wasn't ignoring me, maybe he can't contact me.She thought, her mood considerably brightened and turned her attention to the battle.
"Time to end this. Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." She shouted, making 6 clones. All of them rushed the Inuzuka and Kiba was blindsided and was kicked into the air, then he was kicked again, and again until he was halfway towards the roof. He felt something on his shoulders and then felt the world spin.
"Take this! Uzumaki-assaiki!(Whirlpool crusher!)" Kasumi yelled. She dragged the body into circular motion in the air and it started spinning faster and faster, the spinning attack dropped to the floor and when it hit the floor it let out a thunderous crash with the sound of bones breaking, leaving a imprint of the heavily injured kiba.
The audience stood in silence before the proctor called the match. "Winner...Uzumaki Kasumi."
The room erupted in dissagreement and outrage, but Kasumi didn't care at the moment, she was still on the thought of that naruto didn't hate her, she was happy. Unfortunately, she gathered the attention of people she didn't need.
'The demon must be acting up.' Sarutobi thought.
'Damn that demon. She should have died at birth.' Asuma thought.
'How dare that demon harm my student. She should have died long ago.' Kurenai thought.
'The demon is getting stronger.' Thought Kakashi.
Everyone else just glared at her, the Chuunin exam fights finally drew to a close and they chose who would fight who.
Uzumaki Kasumi vs. Neji Hyuuga
Uchiha Sasuke no Gaara
Temari vs. Shino
Dosu vs. Shikamaru
Kankuro vs. Rock Lee
After they assigned who was fighting who, she went to the hospital to get some bandages, it seemed that Kyuubi's healing was cut off. When she got there, she saw kakashi, and decided to be nice and say hi. But Kakashi took it the wrong way thinking she was asking for training and mouthed off to her how she wasn't worth the air she was breathing and tossed her to the stupidest Jonin he could, who was Ebisu.
Ebisu was a strict Kyuubi hater but seeing that she was technically his charge decided to tor-train her at the hot springs with water walking.
She learned that something was definitely wrong because her Chakra control was off by a lot. Just then, Ebisu spotted an white haired guy peeking on the women's side of the hot springs, being the 'non-pervert' that he is, he attacked, only to be beat down by the old pervert. The man looked at her and then sneered at her. Then he walked up to her and told her he would train her to compensate for kicking the crap out of her sensei. Kasumi was already suspicious of him but went with it.
"Alright gaki, all you need to do is make as many clones as you can and fight." Jiraiya said.
"Why?" She asked.
"Will you do it or not, I don't have to train you, you know." Jiraiya said, not wanting to spend a second more in her presence. 'Damn demon, you killed Minato and Kushina. I'll make sure you'll die.' Jiraiya thought.
Kasumi proceeded make as many clones as she could, but it was less than half of her usual amount, but proceeded to fight nonetheless, all her clones witheld their jutsu's because they didn't trust him. After the clones dispersed and Kasumi was tired, Jiraiya had her sign the Toad contract.
Naruto had taught her about summoning contracts. Apparently there were 2 ways to use chakra, one was to gather it up, mold it and release it in one go, but the alternative way was to constantly release a steady amount of chakra and keep doing it until the desired effect. But the problem right now was that the seal that she had no idea where it was, was interfereing with her Jutsu molding and control making her chakra less focus and generally evaporate before activating the Jutsu.
The result was a tadpole.
After a few tries she got sick of it.
"Damn it, what's up with this technique?" Kasumi yelled, drawing Jiraiya's attention.
"Hmm...as I thought. You need to draw on your prisoner's chakra." Jiraiya said.
"But I can't access it." Kasumi said.
'Must be because she can't contact the kyuubi.' Jiraiya thought. He was partly right but unfortunately for him, it was from different reasons. Thus he thought up a intelligent, well thought out way to draw the Kyuubi's chakra, and if she failed, well there goes the demon, no harm done.
"Alright brat, come here." JIraiya said, walking away towards the forest. Kasumi just got up and followed him, after a long trek, they stood in front of a large fissure in the earth.
"Why are we here?" Kasumi asked, in the back of her mind, something was telling her to go away.
"I'm going to teach you how to draw on the Kyuubi's chakra?" Jiraiya said.
"Why? I already know-how are you going to teach me?" Kasumi asked, something sending shivers down her spine.
"To access it, all you need is to be put in a life threatening situation, and for that, I'm going to throw you off this cliff." Jiraiya said grinning.
"Wha-"
"Good luck!" Jiraiya said, hitting Kasumi and sending her into the gorge.
'FUck Fuck Fuck. I can't channel the Kyuubi's chakra. Gotta put as much chakra as I can into it." Kasumi said, performing the handseals neccesary to summon.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" She screamed, and smoke surrounded her.
Only for her to pass through it.
It failed.
'Am I going to die?" She said in her head.
'All alone?'
'Someone...Please...
Naruto..."
She closed her eyes waiting for the end.
"God dammit! Dammit Dammit Dammit!" Kyuubi was cursing behindd his cage. Shit was coming down and Kasumi was going to suffer for it. She was going to die in a matter of seconds. There was only one way he could POSSIBLY save her. It could potentially solve the problem and save Kasumi, or it could end all life as they know it.
It was not an exaggeration.
Fuinjutsu is some seriously powerful stuff.
Especially one supported by the Shinigami.
He was only 50% sure he could save the girl. Being inside 2 Uzumaki's, his endless knowledge about Fuinjutsu was futher refined by the 2 seal mistresses. He had to do it, he had to protect her. It was strange how much he begun caring for her. But he had to face it, she grew on him. She was his friend, his container, his student, his regret. If he died in exchange, then it would be better.
Right now, he had all to gain and only one thing to lose.
His promisse.
But to save the girl, he would damn himself for eternity.
Because he made promise after all.
And Naruto doesn't go back on his word.
Isn't that right...Riku-chan...
"Its now or never!" Naruto shouted.
He released a flood of chakra towards the gate, the energies clashed with it, he forced his body through. Little by litte, he was gaining ground, the pain was excruciating but it was nothing he hadn't felt before. As his whole body passed, he noticed something from the seal, 2 chakra signatures that he recognised.
'So those two actually had a little trick up there sleeves before they sealed me, I'll flush them out eventually.' He thought as he exited the cage, turning back, he saw a huge glob of chakra floating in the cage, it was his chakra.
'So my chakra stayed behind, no matter, I still got my human chakra from back then, and that should be enough. I have to hurry while I still have this form.' He thought as he began to exit the Mindscape.
Kasumi was falling, she dared not open her eyes, she didn't want to see the ground where she would die. Seconds passed, and more seconds...waiting...waiting...waiting...
'What the hell?" She thought. She cracked her eye open and saw that she was covered in smoke, the smoke started clearing up and she saw that she was above the fissure, she looked down and made out the impression of what looked like Jiraiya inside the ground, and what seems like a huge paw print. She saw that she was above the trees and unconsiously looked down, there was orange. Her eyes looked back, 9 swishing tails were seen, all flowing everywhere, she looked down again and finally opened her mouth.
"N-N-Naruto?" She stammered out, not sure of what to make of it.
The figure tilted his head down, and made contact with the cliff that she had been previously on, she jumped down and saw the full size of her resucer. Kyuubi no Yoko, Naruto.
"Hey kit, hows it going?" Naruto said.
Kasumi would have cried there if she wasn't so angry. "You damn furball, where were you! Do you have any idea how worried I was! I thought you didn't want to talk to me, I thought that you were madd at me! Screw you, you damn fox! Basard! Ero-kitsune! Shithead!" She screamed at him, she didn't notice that his body was steadily shrinking.
"sorry about that, that damn seal was interfereing, so I couldn't contact you, I just took a huge risk to save you, you know." The shrinking fox said.
"I don't give a crap! You think you can just apol..logize...Naruto...are you getting shorter?" She said, ending her rant before it could start.
"Yeah, its a result of forcing myself through the seal, you're keeping all my bijuu chakra in you, my body is adjusting itself right now to an age where it can handle my body with minimal damage." The fox said.
Kasumi just stared at the ever-shrinking mighty Kyuubi who's form seemed to about even hers now. She stood impassively as the body started to form a was a boy maybe her age or older. He was 5'6 with reddish spiky hair with a tan complexion, He had whisker marks on his face while his eyes were a striking amethyst color while the other eye glowed a bloody red. He was wearing an orange sleeveless shirt with black pants, he was barefoot and his arms were covered in bandages while a mesh shirt hung down from under his shirt.
Kasumi stood agape, the fox had just turned into a boy with red hair and was wearing orange, defintitely earned points in her book. But what stood out were his appendages, he had orange colored fox ears and nine swushing tails, there was only one thing that he could have been.
Naruto.
"Yo." He said, his flat voice echoed in her mind, he had said it as if nothing was wrong.
Kasumi blushed.
In front of her was her Sensei and her friend, who she was thinking of as her potential best friend a while ago. But now as she stared at him, she couldn't help how handsome he was, for some reason she liked his red hair.
Her blushed increased.
'Oh no.' She thought. She was falling for Naruto. The Kyuubi no Yoko, her friend, her Sensei, her prisoner. Many thoughts were running through her mind, she did the only thing that she could do when a girl was confronted with a realization that her 'love at first sight' turned out to be a humoungous fox.
She fainted.
"Oh boy. I have a feeling she's going to wake up either pissed or demanding crap." Naruto said, his tails swishing happily. "Oh well, its been a long time since I got some fresh air, better take her to a secure place." He said as he walked to Kasumi and picked her up with his tails, he stopped and grabbed the Toad contract before Shushin'ing to a different location.
He appeared in the Forest of death and Kasumi's base and laid her in a patch of leaves. Kasumi ddin't let go of his tails until he brought something else she could squeeze to death. Naruto opened the scroll and channeled chakra into it, he got a distinct reading from it. 'Mount Myoboku...I guess I should speak to the toads for a bit.' He thought as he channeled more chakra into it and found the signature to the place. He made some handseals and dissapeared.
His destination, the mountain of the Toads...
Hey everyone, To tell the truth, I really tried to get this chapter up to par to my standards but I couldn't bring myself to focus on it. I had to think of stuff into the future and make sure they wouldn't cross at some point, it was annoying as hell.
Anyways, I think this chapter is substandard but...here you go.
Remember people, I probably won't update this until I'm sure it has some decent reviews, hope you review guys.
Ja ne.
