A/N: Hello all! Been a VERY long time since I updated so I stopped this chapter a bit earlier and post it. I also changed the first chapter a little bit to make yup for some last minute details that I want for this story. The Data Bank for this chapter will be sparse, waiting for much more indepth articles later when the characters mentioned have more light.
Warning: this chapter contains cursing, gore, rape, and sexual content.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto and I started Mune-hime, don't believe me? Read Entwined Tails.
Chapter 2
"The village of Konoha had once been intensely beautiful. At once a place of harmony and prosperity. However, with all such things it ended at the death of the one who began the age of beauty. When Shodaime Hokage fell to the blade of Uchiha Madara's mad lover, in a manner ironically similar to how the apprentice of his brother and himself would die nearly one hundred years later, his brother took his position. In such a case he tried to follow his brother's will, but he was too much of a soldier. Sadly, because of the Niidaime many people died in a senseless civil war.
"The remnants of the many sides of the conflict rose up and sent their leaders to negotiate what has been known as the 'Separation Pact.' This was the treaty that assured for the next one hundred generations a continued and unending conflict of emotions and ideals would reign over all politics."
Tsunade belched softly and wiped her lips with a handkerchief. "Thank you for that riveting retelling of history I lived through," she snorted. What most people didn't know was that he signed the paper after gutting Uchiha Madara's lover and used her blood as the ink. Tsunade didn't reveal she had just been born when these events took place, but that in truth did not matter. "What does that have to do with anything I asked you? Are you wasting my time? Are you really a Jounin?" She asked, in an obviously bored manner as she jabbed a piece of steak with her fork and bit into it as slowly as she could.
Iruka mentally calculated the needed force to spank Tsunade and live. He decided that his normal measure for making bad girls (which usually including only Naruko) to behave wouldn't work if said girl was old enough to be your mother-in-law.
Mixed with Satan.
He coughed into his hand. "Well…yes," he sighed. "But it explains why Naruko, who is the child of Namikaze Minato, the Fourth, may travel freely throughout the entire village. No boundary may be erected to force the Hokage to submit to any one member of the council," he quoted.
Tsunade leaned forward. "I don't give two shits about any of that," he voice had become dangerously low, almost a hiss of air between her teeth, "Tell me about Naruko."
Sweat collected at Iruka's temples. "Very well. Naruko, no surname, was born Namikaze Kaede. She is the bastard child of Yondaime Namikaze Minato and one: Reikoko."
"Reikoko? Cute name." Tsunade said as she took a rather large bite of her steak.
Iruka grinned, signally back to smile that he shared with Naruko more than a week earlier, "You won't think the name is so cute when you know who it is attached to."
"Oh? And who, may I ask Great Teacher Iruka, did the name mark?"
Iruka smiled even wider and clapped his hands together. He undid the vest he wore and threw it to the ground. With a quick succession of flicks of his thumbs he unhooked his sword from his belt and laid it beside his foot. Finally he removed his shirt and showed her the giant scar that dominated the left half of his torso.
"The same one who gave me this scar," Tsunade's left eye twitched. Iruka took note that different things made different parts of her face react. He made sure to remind himself to tell Naruko, who enjoyed 'messing' with people. "Reikoko was the name chosen for herself by the last lover of Yondaime, an insidious woman who disguised herself as Uzumaki Kushina, wife of the Yondaime and caused his death. Reikoko is the name of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox."
Tsunade coughed and nearly choked on a piece of her meat. After sing healing chakra on her throat to allow for a normal tone of voice she directed her surprise at Iruka, "What?! The girl is a hanyou?!" she screeched. Iruka nodded as he put his shirt back on. "Then the way she looks…"
"She'd look completely different if she had full access to her power," Iruka explained as he placed his sword back into the apparatus on his belt.
"What do you mean?"
He rubbed the back of his head and sighed. "I guess I better explain the collar next…" he sighed.

Earlier that evening, moments before Naruko's outburst…
The woman panted. She tried to scream but the rubber ball gag forced into her mouth kept her from even squeaking. She was barely able to breathe, let alone make any sounds to indicate her peril. She was a beautiful young woman from a fourth generation clan, meaning only four generations (from one main family or a branched one where two brothers and their children would add together) had been successful ninja. This was demonstrated by the 'Star' emblem on her round rump. Whatever majesty the mark once signified was disrupted by the long slashes and lumps around not only the tattoo itself but also her back.
A recently added mark that was bleeding from her rough treatment depicted a young celestial maiden, or angel, being bound by dozens of chains. The chains twisted around her shoulders, breasts, and side and converged on a space where a large ring had been ingeniously pierced into her rib cage. She had shoulder length blonde hair that was sweat stained and grimy with other types of filth, the least of which not dirt or regular grease. Tears poured from her bright green eyes and she tried to reach out to one of the many on lookers.
None even made a gesture to her, as if she was merely a piece of furniture. Currently the poor female was on the main floor of the Inuzuka household, before the throne of the clan head. Her position was on all fours, being sodomized by a member of their enforcement group. This particular enforcer, a quite fearsome warrior named Routeru, was grinning, his mind set entirely on the task of breaking the girl in his charge. Most of the marks upon her belong to his claws, the gashes made by his claws on her perky breasts the smallest of indicators.
He bent down and nibbled, almost lovingly, on her ear before sinking his fangs, added by a special clan made bone powder, into her neck. The girl finally managed a scream as her spine was pinched.
Inuzuka Tsume, the current head of the clan, snorted as she watched. Her throne, made in the shape of a pack of wolves sitting back-to-back-to-back-to-back, was forged from bones and steel. The bones were fabled to be of a giant fox demon (no not that one) her ancestor, the progenitor of the clan, fell with his bare hands.
Tsume herself was decorated in the tribal decorations of the clan's head position. Industrial bars, placed to form twin 'X' shapes, were the most prominent. She also had five studs in her left ear and over ten small rings in her right. Tsume was wearing only a pelvic shawl and short pants, as her body was more muscular than the normal woman as well as the fact both children ceased breastfeeding long ago, she saw no discernable need to cover her breasts. Also because of the piercings she had added to her rank she decided the indecency was affordable.
To count her piercings from top to bottom they number at thirty-three. Nineteen were the mentioned ear decorations, followed by her tongue stud, then her nipple rings, the four notches she had run through her collar bone, the three horizontal bars between her breasts, her navel, her clitoris, and finally both labia were pierced twice (two at the front and two at the back).
The second strongest woman in Konoha sighed and held her head up using on hand. Her tongue lolled out of her mouth and she played with her stud with the pinky of the supporting hand. Her eyes, disquietingly identical to that of a wolf's, flashed with each rough grunt from her enforcer.
She sighed, louder this time, causing the other Inuzuka to look at each other with a slightly worried gaze…So boring. Can't a member of the Hoshi clan do better than this? She's just taking it.
Her wolf hound, Kuromaru, looked up at her with his remaining eye from where he lay beside her, "For the love of Inu-Kami, if you hate it that much let him stop. Her body smells so bad it's making my dead eye tear up. Get some clothes for the bitch." He was a huge black sire; at his tallest (with neck and ears raised) he was four and three quarter's feet tall. Stretching over six feet long he was the greatest hound born from a bitch of the clan. Oddly enough because he was born a mutt, his sire was a black wolf from the mountains of Kumogakure no Sato, he had become the best pup from his litter. The most obvious indication was his ability to speak because of his mutated vocal chords. The second was the documented seventy five kills on his record with Konoha's Intelligence Division of ANBU.
To further the oddity that was Kuromaru, if Tsume was not the head of her clan, Kuromaru's bounty and renown would be greater than her own.
Tsume let out a large hiss of air, "Fine. OI!" she cried. The enforcer stopped mid-thrust. "Get that wrinkled shrimp you call a cock out of her and clean her up! Send her back to her father with a ring in her damn nose!" The ring in the nose was a mark of inferiority within the Inuzuka clan, who believed their powerful sense of smell was a gift from Inu-Kami the Shinto god they worship. She yawned and covered her mouth, "If he doesn't like it then he can come here and kiss my ass," she ordered. The enforcer nodded and motioned for several guards to take the girl away. "The people of this village are pathetic."
She stood and walked down the small flight of stairs that lead from her throne's platform to the floor. With a flick of her hands the room emptied of all but her and Kuromaru. The sounds of her footsteps resounded softly within the all wood and steel of the main viewing room. Tsume did not wear sandals and would not wear clothes if it were not for the scars on her abdomen. One of her only shames was the rape that produced her oldest child, Hana. To this day Inuzuka Tsume rages at the man who dared defile her.
Despite how others feel upon the matter the Inuzukas' main family has always lost their virginity to their canine partners. And that privilege had been stolen from her and Kuromaru.
Pushing the aggravating thoughts aside she crouched down at the spot the girl had been and put her fingers in a small puddle of wetness on the floor. The examined the gummy residue between her fingers. Raising it to her face she lapped at it, opening her mouth in a degrading and quite disgusting manner to wrap her exceptionally long tongue around both digits. After testing the taste she bent over and started licking the rest off the ground.
"You're disgusting," Kuromaru called to her. She spanked her ass in his direction.
"It doesn't matter what I am." She stood and wiped her lips on the back of her arm. "It's not like anyone will do anything." She mused what Sarutobi would have done if he was alive. Unlike the other clan heads, she had liked the old man. He had looked at her and the ideas she had for her clan as actual innovations, especially the closer communion with nature, if that was what one can call it. "What number was that?"
In an explosion of smoke and flame Kuromaru became a human version of himself, oddly similar to his mistress (marking their difference only by gender and the missing ear and eye of the male dog), and pulled a clipboard from under the cushion he had been sitting on. He flipped through it, looking for the girl's name. "She was the fifteenth this month."
Tsume roared in frustration and struck the ground. A crater two feet wide formed from the impact. "This is bullshit! I want strong females for my son! Not these sad little bitches who can't even keep their asses closed! We didn't even bind her hands! THAT WASN'T EVEN ONE TENTH OF THE SEXUAL PAIN AN INUZUKA CAN DISH OUT AND SHE GAVE UP THREE THRUSTS IN!"
Her partner merely blinked, "You can't expect females like you to be born every generation. You're an exception to the rule." He grinned, flashing unnaturally white fangs, "If push comes to shove you can have Hana mate with him."
"If that was a joke it wasn't funny." Tsume was more aggravated at the possibilities for birth defects than the implication of incest.
His grin became a gruesome smirk, "I'm sorry…I forgot you've decided to take that burden onto yourself!"
Tsume threw him a passive, but violently charged glance and swiftly bit her hand, drawing blood. The droplets slipped down to the floor and left large dirty splashes. "The blood of Tsukimaru, the greatest animal warrior in the history of ninja…reduced to this. I should have dozens of females lining up to be his mate…and all I really have is…" She spat at the residue her tongue had not lifted from the floor. "THAT!"
Kuromaru was about to say something when his eye moved from his mistress to the door. "If you're going to stand out there making rude hand gestures you might as well come in."
The great doors that lead to the main courtyard opened at their sluggish pace to reveal Aburame Shibi, current head of the Aburame clan. As per usual he wore the long grey over coat and ceramic bug jar of his clan. The only marks that showed he was different than his fellows were the dangling jeweled beetle earring in his right ear. His left hand bore the kanji for 'Kabuto' while his right showed 'Kuwagata.' Hanging from his right hip was a holster. It was bound by seals and bandages with a paper talisman proclaiming 'FORBIDDEN' in over five different languages. The glasses he wore also had a similar jeweled bug hanging from the left arm. This one resembled a moth.
He walked into the parlor and immediately dropped to one knee before Tsume. "To my mistress, Inuzuka Tsume-sama."
Tsume sauntered up to him and stroked his face with her hand, a faint smile on her lips. She removed it and put the hand on her partially bare left hip. "Shut up and stand up you buggy bastard." The insult was said in a friendly tone, "I didn't make you or your clan my servants…" she sighed turning from him to lap her self-induced wound. "We are a pack, separated only by rank within the pack."
He did as he was bid, but still stood at attention with a subservient air about him. "There is something of interest I believe you should know about."
She looked at him out of the corner of her left eye, "Well? Don't keep me in suspense. I'm not in the mood."
He nodded, "At once. It appears someone of interest to the Union has arrived."
The Union included the clans in Konoha that lived under the protection the Aburame and Inuzuka. Its true name was the Unification Above Gaia, in reference to the mother of earth. Currently it contains over twelve clans and commands over three hundred ninja and four hundred civilians, the majority of the former from the Aburame and Inuzuka and the rest civilians.
Tsume's eye brow rose. She looked at Kuromaru who sniffed the air. He changed back into his wolven form and bit at his haunches. "I don't smell anyone. My nose recognizes every enemy and target of our clan, and my range is over one thousand meters, so who could it possibly be?"
Shibi bowed his head as if to complement the dog's skill, "It appears, the one who caused the Incident that took place ten years ago, has been released."
Tsume's eyes widened. "What…? That girl? She's been let out?" A grin came to the features of the wolf woman as she turned to Aburame. "You mean the child of Yondaime and the Demon has been released and is in the village right now?! Of COURSE! She's the child of a Hokage! She can go to any area of the village she wants!" Tsume licked her lips. They can't send Kakashi or Asuma so she's their only option left for getting revenge! Yes…it seems Mune-Hime isn't all Mune after all!...She had suddenly become aroused. Her entire body was hungry. She rolled the nipple of her left breast between her thumb and index fingers almost instinctually. "KUROMARU!"
The dog stood to all fours. "Find me the softest most succulent cow you can, I'm so hungry for some beef I could actually stand to pet a cat! Shibi…use every resource at your disposal! Keep one eye on that girl at all times! I want to know everything about her in the next four hours! What her hair color is! Her eye color! Hell, even her piss color! AND IF YOU LEAVE EVEN THE NUMBER OF TEETH SHE HAS OUT I'LL GUT YOU! NOW GO!" She swept out her free hand in the same gesture that sent her other clan members scurrying and roared laughter.
"HAI TSUME-SAMA!"
Both vanished in a flurry of flame and smoke leaving Tsume to herself. She scratched the underside of her chin and looked around. "So Blondie-kun…will you daughter taste as good as you did?"

Same time, same village…
The single most impregnable spot on all of Konohagakure no Sato. It is guarded not only by the lavender eyed Hyuuga of the Branch Family but also by an incredibly well armed battalion of Nin-Neko (Ninja cats) that belonged to the Uchiha. The Pure Bred Alliance, as it is called by those of less noble persuasion, was formed shortly after the genocide by Uchiha Itachi and his mysterious partner who was rumored was to have been from Kirigakure no Sato. The entire reason was the only remaining members of the Uchiha clan included Uchiha Mikoto, her two sisters and her younger son Sasuke, the alternative to the unification was to be raped and tortured on the now lawless streets of their once proud land.
At one time the Uchiha had controlled almost more than half of the economic center, as well as the city guard. Most of this was due to the combination of not only Uchiha Madara's early machinations but also the ambition of Uchiha Fugaku, the last head of the clan. But now they barely held onto one small mansion inside of the Hyuuga's territory.
Mikoto swallowed her pride and begged Hyuuga Hiashi to allow them sanctuary. In his one and only show of compassion he allowed it, only on the condition that Sasuke marry his heir when the two came of age. And the first arraigned marriage of such prominence in nearly fifteen years was established.
The Hyuuga mansion was quiet as always. At least that was what Hyuuga Hibana wished it was. Currently Uchiha Roiyaru, one of the last remaining Uchiha women, was visiting. And because of the previously mentioned situation she was constantly yelling at Hiashi or any other clan council member that would listen.
"WHY IN THE NAME OF HELL SHOULD I ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE?!" her bellowing voice reached even to the tower where Hibana was currently ascending.
At this place, the very center of the village rests, is Hyuuga Tower. Famed throughout the ninja world for once having contained Hyuuga Hinote, from the first age of ninja. By legend it was said her singing prevented demons from reaching her family and that her eyes were granted to her by Tsukiyomi the moon princess to reward her for her stalwartness.
Hibana, a beautiful young woman related to Hiashi through his first wife, sighed sadly as she reached the top floor of the tower. She was wearing the traditional long battle kimonos of the clan. While they appeared to be restrictive and unfitting for combat they were in truth designed to part at any extensive activity. To make one needed some of the rarest and most prized silk in the world, a substance akin to elastic spider silk.
As such they were awarded only to the personal guard of the main family.
She knocked softly. "Hinata-sama? It's time for your dinner." The door flashed with a dull blue light and opened. Hibana was greeted by the retreating back of her princess. The older of the two Hyuuga daughters. Her long black hair almost a cascade of ink down her back. The moonlight from the single window of that particular room reflected like a blue sheen off of her hair.
She was wearing a ceremonial kimono, a version of the one worn by Hibana, but made to bind Hinata's movements, not accentuate them. The pattern was one that had always disturbed Hibana in its content. Hiashi did not truly care about his daughter, with her mind and body as they were now. But at one time he had bent to her every will if it had the chance to make her happy, the robe she wore was just one sign of that fact.
It showed a tremendous golden fox embracing a celestial maiden. In Hibana's eyes the only redeeming factor was the special kunai clamped in the fox's teeth. The shape was the three pronged kunai of the Yondaime.
Hinata stopped walking and sat, more akin to fell by Hibana's eyes, into a cushion under the window and before a short desk with a book and inkwell on it. She turned a page in the book and then scanned it before marking it with a normal pen she had kept at the desk.
"What would you like tonight? The stores are full I can make you anything you wish for," Hibana said, trying to imitate happiness.
Hinata appeared to ignore her for a few seconds before she finally spoke, "Nothing, I am not hungry."
Hibana frowned and stamped her foot, almost like a child. "You have to be! You try and pretend but I know you are not eating! You have to eat Hinata-sama!"
The younger girl looked at her guardian, "Is that an order?"
Hibana, though ten years Hinata's senior, was far less powerful than the girl had proved to be, "No. Forgive me Hinata-sama. It has been a very trying night…" She thought to the ranting Uchiha below them.
Hinata returned to whatever she was reading and then looked out the window. "Hibana-san."
"Yes?"
"Does Tsunade-sama have children?"
Hibana put a finger to her chin, "Not that I know of. From what I've been told she has done everything in her power to prevent it."
Hinata's eyes bulged as she accessed the power of the Byakugan. "Then the girl climbing…no…"
Hibana felt something, a dreadful ache in her gut. "Hinata-sama?"
The girl suddenly shrugged the left side of her kimono off. There, marking her perfect porcelain skin, was a thick and red bite mark. Hinata began to message it lovingly. Hibana gasped and fell back against the door. No…after ten years it's back?! But how?! Tsunade-sama herself looked at and sealed that wound!
"Hinata-sama…don't tell me that she is awake?"
Hinata began to pant as she rubbed the mark, "No. Not yet. She's in the process. It won't be as violent or even as majestic as before…but it will still be splendid!"
The bite moved. It moved. It moved! The bite became a vicious set of fangs and seemed to grate and gnash in Hibana's direction.
Hibana quickly drew a syringe and removed the plastic cover before forcing it deep into the back of Hinata's neck. The girl gave a start and fell forward, slumped over her desk. The guardian watched as the mark, in the perfect shape of a young beast's mouth, moved, opening and closing, before widening and roaring at her.
It blazed red and vanished.
Should I tell Hiashi-sama…I could never lie to him…I'd better…she thought as she removed and recovered the syringe and replaced it in her robes. "Good night Hinata-sama."
The princess of the Hyuuga, branded over ten years ago as property of some malevolent force, smiled in her sleep and dreamed once more of that boy from so long ago.

After her orgasm Naruko had crawled down from the lightning rod of Hokage Mountain and then proceeded to begin her hunt for Mizuki. She stood in front of the Hokage Tower courtyard and looked at the directional sign. While she did have Mizuki's scent she knew that there was no way she could be able to find him from where he had killed the Third. It had been seven months after all.
Standing in the main street made her ill. She despised the village, but thanks to the chronic overcast the lightning was similar to her cell so at least her eyes were fine. A quick glance around afforded her the realization this village had taken a dark turn. Nearly all of the citizens were shambling about, some carrying objects they bought, others carrying objects they sell.
She looked at each of the signs detailing which road led to which section. Slowly she ticked off each area in her mind and tried to find the best one to look into first.
Inuzuka compound…with only one hand he'd be captured and butt plugged. But then again if he was able to sneak into Ojiji's tower than he may be able to avoid the dogs that patrol the area. And Inuzuka members are always stoned or drunk…I'll go there only if the other places don't look like any place better.
She looked at the next sign. Hyuuga Compound…Naruko scrunched up her face and took on a pompous air, "only the most pure blood of ninja may step foot within this place!" she scoffed. I'd rather talk to a corpse than those assholes. Plus their security is too tight for a wounded human to get through.
Naruko's nose curled at the next sign. The Industrial center…that place smells worse than Mune-Hime's panty drawer. Naruko is assuming here.
Slowly she ticked off the civilian centers such as the shopping and transport district before she saw something that made her eyes widen. "It's in kanji…dammit…" she pulled a small dictionary from her back pocket and quickly flipped through it. "For-forbidden area?" She looked at where the sign directed and made out a familiar sight. She turned her body and started to walk that way. Even as she moved her body seemed to be submerged in jell-o, or something else equally hindering.
The girl once known as Kaede walked past dozens of people, all who had dark looks on their faces. One man stopped and grabbed her arm. "Wait." She glared at him out of the corner of her eye.
"Wanna lose that arm old man?" she hissed.
"Only if you want to lose your soul girl." Naruko's eyebrow quirked up. "The forbidden area is called that because it's cursed."
"Cursed?"
"Yeah. Almost eight years ago the children of the Yondaime were lost. The boy, Naruto, was killed because he was defending his sister from his mother. I heard she was a half demon or something, even if it was true I saw the girl once. No demon was ever that shy or quiet. After he died she blew up."
"Blew up?" Naruko asked.
"Yeah, emotions, chakra, all sorts of stuff. 'Blew up' and killed about one hundred and eighty-seven people. Wounded thirty more. Seriously wounded two other girls before they put her down and sealed her away. That place is still covered in blood, it's a bad place."
Naruko removed his hand gently. "Thanks anyway old man. But I have to check it out."
He sighed, "Suit yourself. But I'm warning you girl, this town's gone to hell since it happened. And you're walking toward the epicenter." He moved on, the slight concern on his face fading into the same dark look that the others had.
Naruko felt it before she saw it. The world was…darker…as she stepped into the place known as the Forbidden Area. The air thickened. It was akin to the nature of a hurricane or tornado. She tried to breathe and found the air was stale. Her eyes swept the road and found that what the old man said was true. The blood remained.
She crouched down, sitting on her knees and touched a black spot on the road.
WE FINALLY GOT HER!
Watch out for the tails you fool!
GYYYAAAARGGH!
Naruko bared her fangs and clenched her fists.
She stood and continued into the darkness of that place. The sound of nothing filled her ears. She was actually used to it. The demons and sealed beasts in the Hall where she had spent the last eight years would lapse into periods of slumber, not speaking and doing nothing for days at a time. The first time it happened Naruko, already half mad from lack of contact and barely any food screamed for hours for someone to talk to her.
Compared to that, this was nothing.
She walked for nearly two hours before she reached the place where it all began.

"The collar. Designed and created by Jiraya of the Sannin. The collar's primary focus is to contain and separate her demonic based energy from her human based energy. Do you know the difference between the power known as 'youki' and chakra?" Iruka asked.
Tsunade wiped the last of the steak sauce from her plate with a piece of bread and tossed it into her mouth. "No. I've never had the pleasure."
Iruka sat in a chair before her desk causing Tsunade's eyebrow to quirk up. He blinked at her as if he was expecting her permission and sighed, "The difference is very simple. Chakra can only be made when spiritual and physical power merges."
"Are you saying demons have no physical form?" Tsunade asked.
"Yes. The body of a demon is made of their own chakra. The reason youki is so much more potent than that of human chakra is because it must make up for the loss of the physical form's energy."
"Then how do you explain footprints of the Kyuubi only now that have been covered?" She swung her arm out angrily.
Iruka didn't even bat an eyelash at the meaningless gesture, "Easily, the chakra of the Kyuubi, of any tailed beast, is at least two or three hundred times as potent and powerful of that we've seen from others. It ate away at the very dirt, melting or disintegrating it."
Tsunade stood and looked out the window. Iruka took a moment to trace the shape of her rear with his remaining eye. "So…the collar keeps her youki from flowing into her physical body?"
"Yes. And out of it."
"What effect will it have if she did not wear the collar."
"Before I answer maybe I should continue on describing what it does." Tsunade looked at him. Her eyebrow quirked again. "It also holds her in check. Using three different systems," he held up three fingers to prove his point. He retracted two of them. "The first is it limits the amount of chakra she can use as well as the amount of youki."
"How?"
"The collar cuts off her spiritual energy from her body in effect making her incapable of molding chakra, no spirit, no youki." He raised a second finger, "Next it contains an electric shock box on its outer slide that delivers a jolt directly to her brain in any case where she tries to pull youki or chakra without authorization. The remote I gave you can also trigger it remotely."
Tsunade had returned her gaze to the window. "And the third method?"
Iruka grinned his madman's smile, "It regulates how crazy she is at any one time."
"What?"
Iruka intertwined his fingers, "During the Incident when her brother was killed Namikaze Kaede broke. Her psyche, in basic terms, shattered leaving only her baser instincts to take over. It was a defense mechanism. Her brother was what kept her essentially human through all of the abuse she suffered at the hands of the village and her stepmother. He also protected her from both. When he died that last shred of what made her human left her for but a single instant allowing the inbred tendencies of her demon side, a normal base animal instinct with a malevolent urge.
"In short a dog that wants to kill a rabbit. Or even more simply when an animal feels joy at doing what it does naturally."
Tsunade looked at him, noting the odd smile, "What did this entail?"
"Heightened strength and speed, the revealing of her tails." Tsunade blinked, "They were made of chakra. I believe once she reaches a certain point in her level of power she will actually grow one. But moving on, her sense of smell and hearing were permanently raised to the sensitivity only seen in ninja animals. Also her base urges were sent into a spiral. Hunger, sex, everything. She was a miniature form of her mother.
"It was frightening on a level I have never known before."
Tsunade returned to her chair and fell into it. "And she'll revert to this state if the collar is removed?"
Iruka simply nodded. "However…I cannot accurately state it would be the same reaction."
"Why not?"
"Well…now she's crazy."

Aburame Shibi stood solidly overlooking the section of his village known as the 'Forbidden Area.' His hands twitched ever so slightly as he watched Naruko retrace the same steps she took eight years ago. His own memories resurfaced gradually. How many of his men had died to the girl standing before him. He remembered grasping the forbidden weapon at his side and aiming it at the girl.
If it wasn't for that thrice damned Kakashi and Iruka he would still have his hands.
At his side were two men from his clan. Both wore clothing eerily similar to his, except for the bandaged limbs and weapons. He turned to them, "Merely observe I do not wish for-"
Both men had been about to nod, but now they froze. An intensely powerful aura fell on Shibi like a stone. He turned and saw him.
Silver hair that was upright, close to the shape of a wave. A mask obscured half of his face. The clothing he wore was somewhat ragged and marked by dozens of wounds as if it was his skin. A short dagger hung at both hips. A small orange book rested in his left hand.
His right rose causing all three of the men flew backward and drew a weapon.
He merely flipped the page.
His visible eye, as the other was blocked by a metal headband, swiveled up to Shibi.
Without a word he projected his will, his desire, upon the three men. As clear as if he had spoken it did the meaning reach them.
Shibi righted himself and sheathed the kunai he had drawn. "You have no right to give me orders child. By the command of Tsume-sama I have been ordered to observe that child."
He turned another page without moving his eye.
"You don't scare me Kakashi."
The cycloptic jounin closed his book and took a slightly less lazy pose.
Shibi stiffened and his hand flew to the bound weapon. A crack of thunder split the air. The older ninja stopped at once.
"Fine. We are in a forbidden area. You are a guard for it. So we will depart. But know this," he said moving his head to glare at the one eyes ninja, "Tsume-sama will not enjoy this." With those final words of warning he dashed back toward his home.
The silent jounin watched them leap off and sighed as he crossed his arms and shook his head. He turned his head and gazed down at Naruko as she came to stop at a large pool of dried blood. Kakashi felt a chill run up his spine as he heard her sniff the air until she found one place, marked by only a few scant drops, and crouched down there.
"Hello Nii-chan."
Xxxxx.xxxxx.xxxxX
"The…Incident." Iruka had been lazing into what could be called a waking sleep. He snapped up now. His remaining eye twinkled darkly in the waning light of evening. "What happened?"
"In short," he said righting himself in the chair. "Everyone who meant something to the Fourth Hokage died in a flash of hatred and sadness."
Tsunade's fist slammed down on her desk so hard it cause a crack to appear. "ENOUGH! I'm tired of your cryptic bullshit! Tell me what happened! Details man!"
Iruka snorted. "Fine. First we must analyze the two most important people in Naruko's life. The first is her younger brother Uzumaki Naruto. The bastard child of the fourth he was born exactly seventeen hours after her. He was used as a container for the soul and part of the power of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. Naruto was seen as a hero by the village and loved by everyone in it. However…I wonder how they would have reacted if his sister hadn't been here."
Tsunade made a sound akin to a pig and motioned for him to hurry up.
"Second is her step mother and m other of Naruto, Uzumaki Kushina. The woman was a powerful and beautiful-"
"I know Kushina well boy I was the one who brought her back from that giant hole in the ocean that used to be her home."
Iruka's remaining eye flashed some dark emotion, "Then did you know she was a child molester?"
Tsunade's face went blank for a second, "You…repeat that?"
"Maybe that was too harsh a phrase. But there are hospital reports that state Naruko has suffered some sort of trauma to her lower body. Especially around her back and legs. Kushina beat Naruko constantly. I believe she used the collar, much in the same way I did, to heal her before Naruto could find out."
Tsunade waved her hand in a dismissive gesture, "I do not believe that Kushina would ever do that."
"I know a lot of people who once believed Orochimaru would never violate another human being."
The female of the Sannin suddenly became very cold. "Was that a joke Umino-san?"
"No ma'am."
After a few seconds of silence Iruka poured himself a small cup of tea from a pot made earlier and sipped it slowly.
"May I continue?" he asked.
"Please."
"What caused the trouble was the fact Naruko's status as a half demon were broadcast by the damn gossiping ANBU. So she was beaten, assaulted, and attacked by the village. Soon Naruto began to curse the village that praised him and he became much darker, fighting against any who would strike at his sister. Shortly there was a lapse in the attacks, but not in the abuse she suffered from their mother.
"After he went to his sister's defense many began to view him as the fox he contained. Some even worried he was unduly influenced by the spirit. So he was ostracized. The two became paraiahs, but held strong for each other."
"So what caused the incident?"
Iruka took what had to be the longest and most depressing breath Tsunade had ever seen in her life. "One stupid little girl."
"what?"
"Naruto had a crush on her. But she had been poisoned by her parents and did everything in her power, which mostly were words and getting other kids to fight and beat them up, to break down Naruto through Naruko. There was one day…when she seemed to stop and accepted an invitation to be with Naruto. However Naruko interrupted and started beating the girl. When she was pulled of by the villager she was struck in retaliation.
"Naruko was so enraged she happily screamed she would kill the girl. This caused the village to decide her fate. Kushina at the forefront. They demanded she die, and Kushina happily provided her blade."
"What did the girl do to cause Naruko to be so angry?"
"She had stolen some medicine from her mother, a medic ninja, and was going to drug Naruto. Naruko overheard it. She knew what happens to drugged children in this village. And for once in her life she had the power to save her brother."
Tsunade was silent for a few moments. "So what happened?"
"Kushina held her blade aloft, Hatake Kakashi and I were only then learning of the danger and were moving as fast as we could to alert Sandaime-sama and stop her. Naruko was held by two men and Naruto was held back by a third. Kushina struck and drew blood, but not Naruko's."
"Naruto broke free then?"
"Yes. He used to power of the demon fox to give himself the strength and speed to become his sister's shield. The blow Kushina made would have sliced a child's body in twain, but because of the demonic energy flowing through Naruto's body he was spared death by sword to die from being poisoned by the corrosive energy."
"What did Naruko do?"
"Well after Naruto's injury there was chaos, especially considering the boy was unleashing waves of demonic chakra. The two men who held Naruko loosened their grip enough for her to fall to her knees and hold him. I arrived moments after that. I still remember what her screams sounded like. They ripped through the air and rattled my brains. It was the most horrible thing I've ever heard."
Iruka took that moment to realize everything bad in his life, or more accurately everything that could be described as horrible was because of that day.
"She then looked at the villagers. And then she exploded. Six fox tails appeared at once. Any adult near her was shredded to hash in an instant. Kushina was attacked first. Naruko bit her face, taking her eyes and nose before ripping off her arms and legs and eating her organs. The girl then turned on the one who had plotted against her brother. By that time the chakra had ebbed to two tails and so Naruko resorted to her teeth. She scratched and clawed the girl's body, ruining her stomach and pelvis before biting her left arm off.
"She then attacked anyone who moved. One young girl had actually made it to Naruto's body to try and help him, but all she got was a missing chunk of her shoulder."
"Hyuuga Hinata?" Tsunade suggested. Iruka nodded.
"Kakashi and I went to intercept her, but she got my face. Kakashi was blown backward by some elemental blast. She killed almost two hundred people that day, and wounded nearly forty."
"Who was the girl that started it all?"
Iruka's face darkened and he took on the guise of one very angry. He gripped his sword's scabbard so tightly his knuckles grew white. "Haruno Sakura."
A/N: Ah, everyone's favorite whipping girl eh? Well I'd first like to say I don't hate Sakura, but she was the best choice for this little bit. The catalyst as it were. I'm sure any fan of dark narutos (an kos) will like the additions I'll be making to her. I want you all to be excited for the battle in the forest of Death. Remember this is a twisted version!
Twisted Sister Data Banks:
Tsunade of the Sannin: In the original Tsunade was the obvious choice for Hokage after the death of the Third, in TS not much is changed. Still a titanic beauty born and raised in the village TS Tsunade has larger breasts (by two sizes) and is more beautiful. Also while Tsunade in the original merely liked sake TS Tsunade is an obvious alcoholic and constantly has a bottle hidden on her person. She is also rumored to be a nymphomanic with an oral fixation. A master of both medical jutsu and Goken Tsunade is more proficient than Maito Gai at using chakra to increase physical power. Tsuande in TS actually dispises Naruko, for reasons that will be addressed later, and deems her a complete was of both time and energy, however the two are linked by a very odd line of fate. Tsunade in TS also prefers to wear western clothing, dress suits and skirts as well as stockings and high heeled shoes rather than the kimono and jackets of her original counterpart. She still has her 'bet' jacket though.
Side Notes for Tsunade: she enjoys talking about books, resting on warm afternoons, and business suits. She does not use an illusion technique to remain young, she has yet to naturally age.
Inuzuka Tsume: In the original she was a minor character who rarely appeared, but was noted for her skill. In TS she is one of the leaders of the village and a driving force in the plot. She desires both men and women, not only for sex, but also for strong companions. She wishes her son, Kiba, to have a good mate and so constantly kidnapps and tests the women of the village to find said mate. Before the Incident she had already decided Naruko would be her son's wife, but Kushina would never discuss arraignments. It was revealed after her death that legally Kushina could not, as she had no relation to the girl. She was raped when she was young by Kiba and Hana's father. This has caused her to be very protective of her bed and the loss of her femininity. As such she no longer has qualms about exposing her body. Claims she killed the man who raped her, but this is inconclusive.
Side Notes for Tsume: she likes looking at the moon, fuzzy things, having her ears scratched, and having her piecings played with. May be incestuous.
Aburame Shibi: Head of the Aburame Clan. In the original his bugs were able to extract poison and other invaders. In TS he has lost his original arms to Kakashi and Iruka after he tried to kill Naruko during the Incident. He now has new hands, but only Tsume knows how they work. He also has at his disposal a forbidden and dangerous weapon known only as the 'Tainted Steel Dragon.' This weapon is the third most dangerous in Konoha. There was a rumor that knew about the Uchiha massacre before it could happen, but decided to not tell anyone.
Side Notes for Shibi: He likes origami and tasting wines. To date he has tried over 5000 kinds of wine from all over the world.
Hyuuga Hibana: Hinata's attendant and consort. Born and raised as a main family member she is one of the more skilled kunoichi of her clan. Despite her seemingly happy and cheerful demeanor Hibana is actually quite petty and neurotic. She once locked herself in her room for thirteen days thinking she was pregnant while her hymen was still intact. She is more honest with Hinata because feels sorry for the girl. However, she is also frightened of Hinata.
Side Notes for Hibana: Enjoys when people worry about things for her, lacking control of a situation, and flower pressing.
Hyuuga Hinata: She has been marked by Naruko. What the mark does or means is not clear. Examination shows an increase in natural chakra capacity and healing ability along with inihibiton loss, and distinct habit of correcting mistakes in her own speech and writings. From recorded time of recovery to present Hyuuga Hinata has been kept under tight survelience. There has been no word on any other, more drastic, changes. As in the original she has an infatuation with Naruto. It is unclear if this infatuation has passed to Naruko. Hiashi-sama has also ordered that all Hyuuga must prevent Hinata and Naruko from coming in contact with each other.
Side Notes for Hinata: Enjoys flower pressing, listening to others talk, and Naruto. Rumors among the cleaning staff say she has an extensive pornography collection.
