DISCLAIMER:I IN NO WAY OWN NARUTO! THOUGH I WISH I COULD.
Chapter two: Let's just get through this.
Sasuke
"Looks like you actually found an interest in girls." A familiar voice came from behind me. My fist balled and I felt my temper rising.
"Itachi." I said low with anger on my tongue. I hated my older brother's guts. He thought he was the best in everything and anything. I would prove him wrong when I beat him. I will no longer be his shadow. I would surpass the baka. I would be great.
"I will say she is beautiful for girls around your age, though she is way out of your league if you're spying on her." Itachi said as he held a smile to his lips.
"Hn." I added.
I wasn't interested in the Usuratonkachi. She was useless to me. Though I wanted to know what she was doing and how come she could walk on water when it seemed so impossible.
"Looks like she mastered how to walk on water; not only by her hands but on her feet. It's a tricky exercise. Have to have a lot of patience and control of chakra flow." Itachi added as he watched the blonde twins. "She must have exceptional skills. It's no easy to do that."
"Hn." I said as I crossed my arms. She didn't look that great. I could beat her and I will eventually beat Itachi.
"You know Baby brother; you should take some tips from her. She looks like she can teach you a few things," I spun around so fast to look at my older sibling.
"I take command from no one!" I said enraged.
"It's your loss brother. She shows great skill. The man who ends up with her will be one lucky man. She is a total package. She is beautiful; skilled that's a no brainer. Her personality may be a bit off but two out of three isn't so bad." Itachi said with admiration for the blonde.
"You know nothing now get out of my way!" I snapped at the older Uchiha.
What could Itachi possibly know about girls?
He never showed relevant concern for one so I wasn't worried. Itachi would one day become a failure and I would see to that.
"Looks like we have company!" the blonde girl said to her sibling. Her cerulean eyes looked in the direction in where I stood with Itachi.
How could she even know we were here? We were a great distance from her.
"I am impressed she can read Chakra signatures from a ranged distance." Itachi said as he stepped out from behind the tree and into sight of the blonde who waved at Itachi with a smile.
They knew each other?
Said blonde ran across the water and over the grass to jump on Itachi wrapping her legs around his waist. My jaw dropped. I wasn't one to show emotion and was glad no one was around to see my expression.
This was odd. Don't tell me she was part of my older brother's fan club.
Things just kept on surprising me.
I couldn't keep my eyes away though. I watched the interaction.
"Can't believe you're here!" the blonde girl said with a smile on her lips. "I thought you said you were going on the 'trip' with Jiraiya?"
"Well that's the thing a certain woman called said man. She said something about a Kyuubi?" Itachi said. I was confused.
The blonde girl dropped her position from Itachi with a frown on her face. "Do you know what they said about Kyuubi?" the blonde asked in a serious tone.
"No the toad sage was kind of secretive about it. Do you want to talk about it?" Itachi asked the younger girl.
"No! Naruto! We have to go." She said in a rushed tone as she put her shoes on Naruto followed with a similar expression on his face.
What the heck was a Kyuubi? Toad sage? How did Itachi know this girl?
I was confused.
"I hope to see you around Itachi-kun." The blonde girl said. Itachi blushed? Since when did Itachi blush over a girls comment?
"Sure will Naruko-chan." Itachi added. It gained him a genuine smile from the blonde.
In that she and the dobe bolted off.
"How do you know her?" I asked Itachi.
"That girl is special." Itachi said with a sparkle in his eye.
I rolled my eyes and ignored the older hormonal teen.
"You didn't answer my question Itachi." I said starting to get angry.
"Well it's sort of a long story, when it's not. It's complicated." He said with a blush. My eyes watched the older Uchiha. He was holding something back from me.
I couldn't help but be curious. I was never curious it was something completely odd by my standards. I wanted to know more about the blonde girl. Actually deep down I needed to know more about the blonde girl.
Naruko
When I saw Itachi emotions swelled. The face was one of the familiar ones. Itachi was one person I could call my friend. He knew everything about me. Every last detail even to who was my father. He was an ANBU. He worked closely with my father. My father had sent Itachi on some strength mission with Grandpa Jiraiya. I knew because Grandpa told me he was leaving with the Uchiha.
It was clear now how the face of the boy from class was familiar. He had to be related to Itachi.
When Itachi mentioned Kyuubi, I was scared for my life. I was afraid that my fear would come true. Itachi knew nothing about Kyuubi. The information on Kyuubi was kept extra secret since it was a possibility Kyuubi would go Rogue. It was my father's biggest fear.
It was my biggest fear. I didn't want to lose my big brother. Kyuubi was dear to me and I would do anything for him. I would do the same for Naruto as well, but I knew Naruto wouldn't do anything Kyuubi was capable of.
Kyuubi had confessed some really screwed up things to me.
We were close.
And I would do anything to protect Kyuubi.
Naruto and I ran. Naruto knew what was at stake he lived with Kyuubi all his life. He knew that Kyuubi had tendencies. That were just plain sinister.
We ran as fast as we could until we were getting closer to the grandparents cottage. To the place I knew as home. We needed to know what was going on and there was no time to waste.
We reached the front yard and jumped the fence without hesitation. I opened the door and stared at the people I loved, Grandma Tsunade, Grandpa Jiraiya, Father, Mama, and last Kyuubi.
He looked different. He no longer had his long mane of hair. He had only stubble on his scalp of what used to be his luxurious spiky red hair. I ran to him and hugged him. He was only four years older than Naruto and I.
"What did you do?" I said as I squeezed him making sure he couldn't move.
"Nothing." He answered blankly. His voice was cold.
"You're different." I said as I couldn't believe my eyes. His hazel eyes looked at the ground. He knew I knew something.
"Not that much. I couldn't keep anything past you." He gave me a genuine smile. I hadn't seen a smile from Kyuubi in a long time. Something was wrong.
"Naruko calm down. It's nothing bad. We are just happy to have your brother back in the village after so long." My father smiled. "Glad to see you again son. I'll be keeping tabs." Father said. "I'll see you soon ok. I have to go now." Father said with a smile and walked out.
We couldn't be in the room together more than a few minutes. Father had become extremely busy. I understood that, but for his presence to actually be here. It meant something.
"How did you know Kyuubi was here?" My mama asked.
"Itachi." I answered truthfully.
"That kid." Grandpa said as he crossed his arms.
"Oh the Uchiha boy, he's such a nice boy." Grandma said with a smile.
"Not you too?" Naruto said with annoyance. I turned to look at him. He was annoyed. "It's either Itachi or Sasuke. I hate those two." Naruto said again as he huffed.
"You're not the only one." Kyuubi added with annoyance.
"What is so bad with Itachi?" I said feeling the vein on my forehead begin to pop.
"Don't tell me you're a fan girl Naruko." Kyuubi said.
"No I am not. Itachi is a good friend of mine." I said.
"Really?" Mama asked.
Grandpa and grandma nodded their head confirming the information.
"The Uchiha kid used to train with Naruko all the time, on his free time of course. That kid is something. He is quite talented."Grandpa said.
"It's helped Naruko strengthen. They're good friends. That Uchiha is so polite, and so handsome." Grandma boasted.
It earned a growl from Kyuubi and Naruto. They weren't quite fans of the Uchiha children.
I couldn't help but blush at the way they talked about my best friend. That was all we were friends.
~~~…~~~
The day of the final exam was here. I taught Naruto all I could and was happy to know he could finally manage to do the clone Jutsu. I was proud of him. He managed to control his chakra too. I was proud of my pupil.
"Ah Naruko Uzumaki." Iruka-sensei called me in.
I walked in to see I was being observed by more than one teacher. I was skeptic but continued. They had high hopes by all the recommendations, especially by two sages and the Hokage. That is saying something for the young girl. To have Tsunade, the toad sage and the fourth Hokage vouching for her was superb.
I swallowed. I felt my palms sweating. I knew they expected high expectations. I couldn't let my grandparents or my parents down. Plus this was a large step in becoming the kunoichi I dreamed of.
I did all they told me to do. They stared and oo'd and ah'd at what they were experiencing. They huddled together after I was done to murmur amongst each other. I wondered if it was positive or negative. Never negative when it came to me.
"Congratulations on becoming a Genin!" Iruka-sensei greeted. I almost fell over on the feeling they made me feel before revealing the grand finale. They really knew how to make me sweat. Though I knew I was never going to show it.
"Arigato." I said simply as I received my Hitai-ate. I was excited. I finally accomplished something that would bring me closer to my goal.
I walked out the room. My little brother was waiting he would be called next. I hugged him and then kissed his forehead wishing him luck.
He walked in and I was nervous for him.
I was nervously waiting. Hoping he learned something from the training we did together. I trained nonstop with him until this day. I let him rest the day before, but I was sure he was ready. We didn't have much time. I didn't teach him all I knew. I wasn't going to. All I had to do was help him graduate. From there my job was done. He needed to handle everything else.
I waited patiently awaiting my little brother. I felt eyes stare into my very being and I tried hard to suppress the chill that emanated from said stare.
I turned to look at coal eyes staring at me. They held no emotion, I couldn't read him. He had his hands in his pockets.
"Can I help you Teme?" I answered. His reply was a grunt. I ignored him and turned around waiting for my little brother to finish his examination.
It was hard to imagine that the boy behind me shared the same genes as my best friend Itachi.
They were nothing alike.
The teme walked passed I felt as his shoulder brushed mine and I could have sworn I felt sparks? I ignored them and I ignored him. I was just waiting for Naruto.
After Sasuke passed my brother came out with tears and snot bubbles coming out of his nose. He looked so happy. He came and hugged me and I received it.
"How about we go get some ramen at Ichiraku's?" Naruto's eyes glistened and he was happy. "I think you deserve it. You did an excellent job and I am happy to have trained you." I said full of pride. "And don't worry I am buying." He jumped up and down and I knew he couldn't control it.
He grabbed my hand and pulled me through the hall way and out the door. I knew we were getting various weird looks. I didn't care I was proud that I could graduate with my little brother. We went through the village streets until we made it to my brother's favorite restaurant.
Today was a good day. I thanked the superior being for watching over us.
"Naruko-Chan!" I heard my name being called from a familiar voice.
"Itachi-kun?" after I said his name he came into view. I gave him a warm smile. I wasn't one for normal interactions, but Itachi was an exception.
"I heard you passed the final. Glad to hear you're a Genin now." He said in a un-Uchiha like way.
"Yea, Naruto did too." I said. Said little brother was still stuffing his face with roast pork Ramen. My brother was a pig.
"That's good to hear. Are you up for a spar? We haven't done so in a while don't you think?" he said. He was right we hadn't sparred in awhile and there was no way he would know what level I was on. I smirked.
"Sure. Meet me by the lake in an hour. I am going to go home and change ok." I said and gave him a kiss on the cheek which led him with a rosy tint on his cheeks.
"I'll be waiting Naruko-chan." He said as he swiftly walked away while all girls around swooned at his appearance. I hated that.
"Are you done?" I asked Naruto. He nodded as he slurped his last noodle. I paid the bill and we went home.
"You want to come?" I asked Naruto as I put my long hair in a bun.
"Sure. I would love to see you wipe the floor with that Uchiha kid." Naruto said with a smirk.
Kyuubi was on the couch flipping through the channels.
"You sure you don't want to come Kyuubi?" I asked the red head.
"Hell no, I hate Itachi." He said as he rubbed his stomach and continued to flip the channels.
"We'll be by the lake." I said with a smile.
Naruto and I went to the lake.
I wore my training shorts, old cut off shirt which left my midriff exposed and had my hands wrapped. I knew how my sparring sessions with Itachi got.
Well let's just say it never ended to pretty. Itachi was fair game with me. He was a good teacher as well.
We arrived to the lake to see a broody character sitting on a log arms crossed watching his brother. Naruto immediately ran and sat next to Sasuke earning a grunt from him.
When Itachi turn to look at me he was different his hand went directly to his nose. Blood?
I was perplexed.
"Itachi-kun are you ok?" I asked.
"Yea I am fine." He said putting his other hand in front of me.
I stopped before I got closer. Itachi was acting weird.
Sasuke
I was watching my brother as he stretched he forced me to come. Saying today was my lucky day that I was going to watch something amazing un-fold.
Itachi never invited me to hang out with him. Even when I was younger and asked if he would train me he would say no. Due to that I vowed I would surpass him. The two dumb blondes walked into view and the dobe ran and took the empty seat next to me I growled obviously annoyed by him.
"Hi Sasuke." Naruto greeted I ignored him until I caught eye of his Blonde twin. She was wearing little to no clothing. I tried hard not to get a nose bleed. This was the first time something like that happened to me.
I turned to Itachi who obviously now had his nose covered with his hand. The blonde looked confused. She tried to step closer, but Itachi stopped her. What the hell was going on with my brother?
I myself a bit puzzled.
Was this why my brother asked me to come?
To watch him fight… the dumb blonde?
I watched carefully, trying not to miss anything.
"Itachi-kun are you bleeding?" she asked again. I take back anything I might have previously thought about this girl. She was dumb. Of course he was bleeding, She had little to no clothing on I huffed again.
I took back anything I said about her being different than the dobe. They were the same and they were twins, typical dumb blonde.
"No I am fine. Want to get started?" he asked with a smirk.
"Thought you'd never ask." She said equally pumped.
She moved her feet apart in an accurate angle. Itachi took a similar stance. They had trained together before?
I couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy.
Itachi was willing to train with this stranger, but couldn't train with his own brother, his family? This was outrages.
She took a pose and Itachi mirrored her move, faster than fast blue emanated from her fists, as did from Itachi.
He didn't use the sharingan?
He purposely wasn't trying.
She moved and all I saw was a yellow flash?
She was fast. I'd give her that one. Naruto sat next to me cheering his sister on.
"Go Naruko! You can take that weak Uchiha." Naruto cheered. I turned my head just to glare at him. I might not like Itachi, but he was still a Uchiha and no one called my clan weak.
"I see your using speed." Itachi said. In that his eyes changed into red. He activated the sharingan and I smirked. This girl could not beat Itachi. I would give it to her she was fast. But Itachi could see her.
Itachi stuck his arm out and hit the blonde in the gut. I smirked. That was too easy.
The supposed blonde turned into a log.
Substitution?
"Not too bad Blondie." Itachi taunted.
Quick like a black flash Itachi joined her speed. I couldn't see either one. I cursed myself for not having my sharingan activated yet.
Said blonde stopped and smirked as she ran a finger below her nose. "Itachi-kun." She taunted sweetly.
Itachi stopped and smirked. When he stopped he was holding his gut and had a trickle of blood coming down his lip.
"You're good Blondie." He said. I watched in awe she actually hit my brother?
"You know you haven't even touched me. I am thinking your toying with me." She said as she looked at her nails and sounded a bit upset.
Don't fall for the bait she's toying with you Itachi.
Itachi fell for the bait as he opened his arms receiving. The blonde smirked mischievously and kneed him in the gut. I didn't even see when she did so. She was so fast.
Itachi couldn't be this weak? could he?
Maybe the dumb blonde was just strong, Tsunade strong. I questioned that as I blinked a few extra times.
"You're holding back Itachi!" She yelled at him.
"I am sorry, you caught me off guard." He said as he de-activated his sharingan. Itachi said he was sorry?
"Well this was a disappointing spar." She said as she crossed her arms and looked to the side.
"Sasuke!" Itachi yelled and I perked up. "I want you to spar with Naruko. You'll learn something from Yellow flash." He said with a smirk. I had heard that name before, Hearing him say that the blonde flinched.
Why would being called Yellow flash make her nervous? This girl was odd.
I stood up and walked over to where Itachi was.
"You're really going to make me fight this weakling." She sneered. I took that very offensively. I refused to be called weak.
"I am going to make you eat those words." I said with venom.
"The rules are no weapons only hand to hand combat." Itachi said as he held his stomach.
"Let me heal you Itachi." The blonde said concerned.
"It's alright I'll be fine."Itachi said with a knowing nod and an eye smile.
Itachi sure was acting weird.
"Don't worry about him. You're opponent is me!" I said. She waved me off and looked at Itachi. This girl made my blood boil. She didn't take me seriously. My blood was boiling and I came and I punched her in the face.
She held her cheek with her mouth open. She was shocked that I hit her while she was unguarded. Her eyebrows furrowed together and I could see her rage.
She was just another Itachi fan girl to me. That's why I had to hate her.
"I wouldn't have done that if I was you." Itachi said as he then quickly went to sit next to Naruto with anticipation on what was going to happen.
A blue aura went around her. Her chakra was massive. I could sense her into my soul. I felt a very selfish need, but I couldn't distinguish it.
"You're going to pay for hitting me." She spat out. Her words contained venom. I wasn't afraid though. I couldn't be afraid of an Itachi fan girl.
"Try your worst." I taunted.
She came at me full force. I felt her fist punch me in the gut; than a fist hit me in the back. Multiple blows at once, she was fast. I was smarter though I came and moved my arm and punched her in the gut. She didn't use a clone and she actually got hit. I had hit her full blown so she had to feel it. She held her gut than spat out blood.
I was beaten pretty badly too. I could see why Itachi came out the way he did. This girl was good. I would hand that to her.
I coughed and spat out blood. Itachi stood up. A tall muscled kid walked out from the trees.
"Naruko!" he said in a deep voice. He had to be around Itachi's age.
"Don't worry about me I am fine." The blonde girl said as she clenched her abdomen.
"This is your doing huh Uchiha." The mystery teen said. I looked at him but his focus wasn't on me. It was on Itachi.
"Well, well, if it isn't the nine-tailed demon." Itachi said.
"Nine-tailed demon?" the blonde girl said confused. I was confused just like her.
I was in a position similar to the girl holding my gut, but my knees gave out.
"Don't get into this Naruko."The mystery teen added.
I was surprised that Naruto stayed quiet but I looked at him and saw him swallow hard.
"Kyuubi! Stay out of this!" The Blonde retorted. "We're just sparring."
"You're hurt. Or you don't feel that. I shouldn't have let you leave the house, rough housing with boys? Dressed like that someone might think you're a sl…" he couldn't finish his sentence because the blonde came and was going to punch him. But the teen blocked her easily.
"You know that's not true. I just want to be like you big brother." She said my eyes widened. How many siblings did Naruto have?
"He's your brother?" Itachi asked just as puzzled. "The nine-tailed demon is your brother?" Itachi asked.
The blonde turned to look at Itachi and nodded. She looked…. Afraid.?
"Why is he calling you nine-tailed demon?" the blonde asked.
"It's a nickname." The darker figure retorted. "You know like Yellow flash, Pervy sage, Old lady." The blonde's brother said with a chuckle.
"Now I know." She said with a frown.
"You'd figured it out huh. You're such a baka if you didn't see it. Come on we're going home. Naruto!" The older teen called Naruto he got up and ran towards the two.
"Remember Uchiha. One day you'll seize to exist. I will exterminate you." The teen said darkly. I felt a shiver. His voice was pure evil.
They walked away and Itachi walked over to me and helped me up.
"Who was he?" I asked.
"No one good." Itachi answered.
Well something is arising. I will answer that Naruko for her age of twelve/thirteenish looks very much like a fifteen year old. She is very developed for her age. I'll say she get's it from Tsunade. ;]
It's okay for guys to be all like DAMN! She is a girl in the end. Kyuubi is just bad ass. He wouldn't be so if he wasn't. It goes to the whole I hate the Uchiha clan. Well I am sure you guys will be up to the twist and turns. It's going to be a interesting one I promise. Bunnies are still in my head and I am still not sure in where they would lead me. I'll just give them free reign of it means an epic story.
Any questions? feel free to ask.
Review. Thanks!
