"Hello! This is heinzearnoldfanficition2, I am updating! Muahahahaha! Anyway, I just wanted to say... wait..."
walks away, and a fight is heard in another room,
'get over here you!'
'NOOOOOOO!'
Comes back in with a crying Itachi, and a stick of pokky.
"Ok Itachi, you will get this back, if you disclaim."
"Heinzearnolfanfiction2 does not own Naruto, or any of its charectors, only her verison of Naruto. He is also broke. NOW GIVE ME THE POKKY!"
"Ok, ok, ok! And you didn't have to say I'm broke!"
"You are, though."
"...sigh..."
Chapter 1
Two people walked into Konoha. One was easily recognizeable, he had spikey white hair pulled into a low ponytail, and he wore red robes with a grey shirt underneath, and grey pants. He also had a red hitai-ate with the kanji for 'oil' on it. At his waist was a scroll that he was famous for holding; he was Jiraya of the Sanin.
However, the young girl with him was not as easily recognized. She had red hair pulled back into a high ponytail, she wore a black trench coat with navy highlights, and a fish-net shirt underneath, along with black ANBU style pants, and black shoes. She had violet eyes, and she also had a sword at her hip in a black sheath, and three giant scrolls strapped to her back, along with some smaller ones at her waist.
"Hey, Jiraya-sama!" Shouted one of the guards at the gate. "What are you doing here today?" asked the other one. "I am here to drop off my god-daughter here. I have been training her for about five years, and we decided that it was time to come back." He said, his usual boisterous personality in place, the mask that covered his true, serious and calm side that he only showed to the people that he truly trusted; his god-daughter and the Sandaime.
"Well, welcome back! Uh, what was your name?" the first guard asked the girl. "...Natsuki." She said in a flat voice, making the guard a little nervous at the tone. "Uh, ok. Well, I'll see you later then!" He said, and allowed them through. As the two left, the first guard turned to the other, "She was a little cold, don't you think Kotetsu?" He asked, and Kotetsu responded, "Well, how would you respond to some random person who asked your name from a place you hadn't been to in five years, and probably don't remember much of, Izumo?" Kotetsu responded, and Izumo shrugged.
/Retirement Home,er, Hokage's Office/
Hiruzen Sarutobi was doing the thing that he hated more than anything esle in the world: paperwork. 'Gah! I have survived two wars, and a demon attack, but I swear; this will kill me yet! Hmm, wasn't Natsuki-chan supposed to come back today?' he thought.
Suddenly, something came in through his window, but being used to it by now, he just looked up. "Ah, Jiraya! Have you come back with Natsuki chan?" Hiruzen asked. "Yes I have, old man. She has decided to use the more conventional means of enterance." Jiraya responded, earning an eye twitch and a nod from Hiruzen.
A minute later, there was a knock on the door, and Jiraya opened it, gaining a little more serious face as he did. "Hey kid. I told you that you didn't have to knock since I would already be here, didn't I?" Jiraya said, a slightly chastising look on his face. "I would have, but the secratary was looking over my back the whole time." Natsuki said, loosing the cold expression she had had in place while walking through Konoha, and adopting a smirk.
"Hello, Natsuki-chan." Hiruzen greeted, a smile on his face. "Hey, old man." Natsuki said, making Hiruzen get another tick-mark, and getting Jiraya to laugh at his expression, but Natsuki just kept her smirk. "I'm not that old, why does everyone call me old..." Hiruzen muttered, not expecting anyone to hear him, but Natsuki responded with, "Yes, you are that old, old man." Hiruzen was shocked, not even Jiraya or Tsunade could have heard that, and Natsuki was only twelve!
"W-well, ehem, moving on." Hiruzen said, ignoring Natsuki's comment, getting the other two to snicker in amuzement. "Natsuki's progress, where would you say it's at, Jiraya?" Hiruzen asked. "Well, since we left THAT night, I have trained her to use chakra sensing, which she is VERY good at, better than the average sensor-nin, and she is almost a master fuinjutsu user. She has kage level chakra, and if there were anything above kage rank, she would be three levels above kage for control. She is ANBU level in genjutsu, mastered med-jutsu, kage level ninjutsu, kage taijutsu, ANBU level kenjutsu, kage stealth, and she has a few kekai genkai that came as a suprise. Oh, and she signed the Toad, Slug, Dragon, and Pheonix sumoning contracts. The toads, dragons, and pheonixes even gave her the summoning contracts to carry on her person." Jiraya said, shocking Hiruzen, who said, "Oh, is that all." faintly. (Jiraya groaned when he didn't faint, and gave Natsuki five-thousand yen; she just smirked a little more.)
"You know, ero-godfather, you could have just showed him the Bingo Book; it would have been much faster." Natsuki said nonchalontly, making Hiruzen pale, and Jiraya sweat-drop. "Er, yes, that would have been, erm, faster." he said, thinking 'why didn't I think about that!' He handed over his copy of the Bingo Book, and Hiruzen was shocked at what he saw, " Name: Natsuki Uzumaki

Recommendation: If your alone, piss yourself and try to kill yourself before letting her take a step. With a team, piss yourself, and try to kill each-other to avoid a messier death from her. With an army, piss your pants and try like hell to escape. There is no way to beat her."
Hiruzen was shocked, but he started laughing hysterically when he read the notes. He sighed, wiping a tear from his eye. "Do I want to know where you found an army to test the last one?" He asked, slightly annoyed, but found it too funny to even attempt to reprimand them. "Well, someone was trying to peep on me, and no it wasn't Jiraya," she assured him, and Jiraya pouted, 'I'm not that bad!' he thought, but Natsuki ignored the pout, and continued.", so I chased them to where they had been staying, and it turns out he was a soldier, and they all tried to stop me, but, well, I kinda, sorta, destroyed them all, and, uh, they are now all deathly afraid of red-heads?" She said, blushing slightly at the reason, and sending Hiruzen back into hysterics.
"Th-that sounds exactly like something that your mother would do!" He exclaimed loudly, laughing really hard. After he calmed down, he looked at them, and said, "Well, what rank would you like? The absolute lowest would probably be Jounin." He said, and Natsuki thought for a bit, before getting a gleam in her eyes. "How about Jounin sensei? I would love to mess with the kids heads-I mean-help the little genin grow up to be proud ninja of this village!" She corrected, nodding quickly to cover her slip-up, making Jiraya and Hiruzen chuckle. "Don't worry; that is exactly what most jounin-senseis think, so you don't have to hide it all that much." Hiruzen said with a chuckle.
"And I approve. It will be fun to see you mess with their heads; what with you being so much stronger than them, and at the same age too! Oh, this will be fun!" Hiruzen said with a gleam in his eyes, which went out after a few seconds, being replaced by a pout. "I won't be able to enjoy it as much because of this stupid paperwork." He said, and Natsuki chuckled. "Old man, if you let me pick the kids, I will tell you the secret to paperwork." She said, and Hiruzen nodded quickly in agreement. "Well, its quite simple really. Kage. Bunshin." She said.
Hiruzen got a blank expression on his face. Then he walked over to the picture of Minato Namikaze, moved it over, and took out a target and an envelope. He placed the target on his desk, then opened the envelop and read the letter inside, before banging his head on the target for a whole minute straight, then he wiped away the blood that had started coming out of his forehead, and continuing on as if nothing had happened.
"Now, I am guessing that you will be spying on the graduating class, right?" Hiruzen asked Natsuki, who nodded, amused by the show that he had just put on. "Yes, I will be doing that. I will find the gaki's that will work the best together; weather it be ninja related or socially, they will have to get along well." She said, and Hiruzen nodded. "Now, if I may ask, how good are your sensing abilities?" He asked.
Natsuki nodded, " You may, and they are so far above average that I can actually see the exact shape of all the chakra in the entire area, no matter where it is, and since buildings and such interfere with chakra, I can see where other things are too, like kunai, swords, the wind, and walls." She said, leaving Hiruzen impressed. "So, there is no way to surprise you?" He asked, and she nodded. "That is correct. Even repressed chakra is different from the chakra in the air, so I still sense it."
They talked for a bit longer, before Jiraya stated that he had to get back to his spy network, and since Natsuki had hit him for leaving her to go and do his 'research' as he put it, she knew that he was telling the truth. "Well, I guess that you would be wanting to rest after being on the road for so long, I will give you your hitai-ate and jounin flak now." Hiruzen said, giving her a black hitai-ate and a dark grey flak-jacket with purple highlights that she put on over her trench coat.
"Thank-you, old man. I appreciate this, and I will help you with the council during the next meeting. Since I am the last of the Namikaze and Uzumaki clans, and am a jounin, I have two seats, and will be able to help you quite a bit I imagine." She said, getting a mini happy-dance from Hiruzen. "YES! Thank-you Natsuki-chan! I will finally be able to take power back from the civilians, and make Konoha the place it was meant to be, even if I have to make it a dictatorship to do so." He said, getting a nod from Natsuki, and she left.
/Next day, Worst School in the Elemental Countries, er, Konoha Academy/
The next day was graduation day, so Natsuki went to the academy under Her own special genjutsu that not only made her transparent, it also hid any sound she made, and made her chakra look like the chakra around her to anyone who could sense chakra. Over the day, she grew more and more disappointed in the standards that Konoha set for their genin, but she found a few diamonds in the rough.
First there was a Hyuga boy, Hitatsu. He was a little timid, but his skills were very good, especially compared to the rest of the class. He just needed a little encouragement, and he would take off.
Next, there was a Yamanaka girl, and though she was hiding under fangirl tendencies, Natsuki could tell it was an act because her chakra was pulling towards someone else; a Nara boy. She also showed great skill, even with the fangirl facade.
And finally, the Nara boy. It took longer than usual (two minutes exacly) but she saw that he was merely doing average on purpose, so he could do just enough to pass. It was only confirmed when she saw that he answered half of the questions right away, then turned over the test and went to sleep.
There were also the average students. These would be the Aburame, Akimichi, and Inuzuka boys. They did well enough, and though they weren't the worst, they weren't the best either. There were other average students, but these were the top of the average.
Finally, there were the lost causes. There were a-lot of these, but the two most prominent were the Uchiha and Haruno. The Uchiha was arrogant, and didn't even have anything to back it up! The whole day she was at the academy she watched him; during the written test he got none of the answers right, and one of the teachers, (Mizuki if she remembered right) switched his test with one from his coat, During the throwing portion he was given magnetic kunai and shuriken, and magnets were put behind the targets, during taijutsu the instructor, (Mizuki again) went easier on him than on the other students, and during the jutsu portion he was let off with more than the others, and he still got a hitai-ate! What was going on here?!
The other total lost cause was the Haruno. She looked like she had never worked a day in her life, and she starved herself. The only thing she did really good at, (unlike the Uchiha, who did horrible at everything) was the academic portion. Everything else she did horrible at, but again, she was given a hitai-ate!
Despite those two, none of the other hopeless causes got hitai-ates (thank kami, she didn't know if she could stand any more) and everyone else was at least mediocre. Natsuki shook her head, and went back to the Hokages tower. "I have no idea what you are thinking with the academy, but-" she started before Hiruzen raised his hand. "I am not in control of the academy at the moment, so hold on. The council took control of it a while ago, and I have been unable to get it back. I hope to get it back in a meeting next week, so with your help we will have a competent ninja force within three years. Now, what is your estimation of the graduating class?" Hiruzen asked her.
"Well, I saw about three competent now-genin there. The rest were mediocre at best, but most were hopeless causes." She said, getting a sigh from Hiruzen. "I feared as much. Who was the worst?" He asked, bracing himself. "Well, to be perfectly honest; it was a tie between Uchiha and Haruno. Uchiha has unfounded pride, that is backed up by instructor Mizuki's meddling; changing the brats test scores, magnetizing kunai and shuriken, allowing him to get away with more in tai- and ninjutsu. I would say that if he had to do it at the other students level, he would be the 'dead-last' as I think it is called." Hiruzen winced, the supposed 'rookie of the year' was the actual 'dead-last'. That was bad.
"And Haruno?" He asked, almost afraid. "Fangirl. To the max. She looks like she hasn't worked a day in her life, and also like she starves herself, all for her obsession. The only good thing is that she is good at academics. That is it." Natsuki said, and Hiruzen winced.
"Well, who do you want on your team?" He asked. "I would like to request graduates Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Hyuga Hitatsu. They seem to be the best of the best, despite what the official records say. Nara boy purposely does exactly half of his academic work, getting everything he does do right, and leaving the rest blank, the practical work, he also does the same basic thing. He sees no point in trying, as the rest of the class is mediocre, so he does the same, knowing he will pass." she said, surprising Hiruzen.
"Yamanaka is almost the same, acting as a fangirl to fit in with the other girls, as there is not a single non-fangirl in this class," Here, Hiruzen winced again at the glare from Natsuki, then she continued, "-however, she still actually tries, and she would have gotten kunoichi of the year, if instructor Mizuki hadn't tipped the scales in favor of Haruno." She finished, leaving Hiruzen simmering at the corruption in the acadamy.
"Lastly, Hyuga Hitatsu. He seems to have a confidence problem, but whenever instructor Iruka would try to help, Mizuki would stop him, and direct him to the floundering Uchiha, or Haruno, or at least that is what I assume happened, because Iruka kept giving him a look, and Mizuki looked smug. He has an unusual amount of skill, and an even more unusual lack of self-respect. If I had to guess, I would guess that he also has family troubles to increase the lack of self-respect. If he had the confidence, he would have easily gotten the title rookie of the year, even with the cheating of the Uchiha." She finished, and Hiruzen finaly snapped.
"I'm calling a council meeting, right now. Follow me, I will lead you there, and you can wait in my booth for me to introduce you, then we will immediately take back the council from the civilians and Danzo." Hiruzen said, and they left the room.
/15 Minutes Later, House of Corruption, er, Council Chambers/
"Hiruzen, why have you called us here?" asked Homaru. "You will no longer refer to me by my name, you shall call me Hokage-sama, as you are not equal to me, you are an ADVISER, which means that you have NO POWER! I have recently found out some very disturbing things about the academy that have led me to realize that the civilians and advisers have misused their power for to long." Hiruzen said, causing mass protest.
"SILENCE! YOU HAVE ABUSED THE POWER GIVEN TO YOU SINCE DAY ONE! NOW I LEARN THAT YOU HAVE LET UCHIHA SASUKE, WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD-LAST WITHOUT YOUR INTERFERENCE, PASS AS THE TOP OF HIS CLASS?! AND YOU LET AN INSTRUCTOR SABOTAGE ANOTHER STUDENT?! DID YOU KNOW THAT ALMOST EVERY GIRL IN THE ACADEMY IS A FANGIRL! IF WE LET THIS CONTINUE WE WILL BE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE ELEMENTAL NATIONS!" Hiruzen shouted, getting a range of shocked, angry and scared looks.
"Now, all in favor of taking power back from the civilians?" Hiruzen asked, and there was almost enough votes, only two more were needed, which is what he had counted on. "Hmm, two more needed, eh? Natsuki, I would say we have enough, wouldn't you?" he asked seemingly no-one, until suddenly a twelve year-old girl appeared, shocking everyone but Hiruzen. "Hmm, yes I would say we have this in the bag, old man." She said.
"Why are you here, little girl." Danzo sneered, getting sounds of agreement through-out the room. "Why Danzo, how could you have a council meeting without me? I am after all, the holder of the Namikaze and Uzumaki clan seats." She said, getting shocked looks from them, then they started protesting again, making Hiruzen sigh, then he shouted again, letting out KI this time. "SILENCE! She speaks the truth, and she is a jounin too, so she has every right to be here." After he said that, they calmed down. "Now that we have everyone here, how about we re-vote?" He said, and this time, there were more than enough votes.
"Ok, so the civilians and advisers should now leave-" he was about to continue before the advisers protested. "Hold on, you can't do that!" they said, but Hiruzen laughed, "Yes I can! You are counted as civilians until you quit! And as ninja, you are under my control! Oh, and by the way Danzo, I have already destroyed your root base, and killed all root troops. If you hadn't noticed, you don't have any with you at the moment." Danzo looked like he could have cooked an egg on his head, he was so mad. "You will regret this Hiruzen, I quit!" He said, but before he could do anything, he was suddenly hit by an ice jutsu. "Mission accomplished, old man." Natsuki said, smirking up at him. "Good job, Natsuki. Now, shall we get on with this?" Hiruzen said, smirking at the other two advisers, who scurried out of the chambers. "Now, on to other matters..."
