Note: Grab your groin cup. Also, no Naruko/Hinata in this fic other than what's already in canon. There might be Naruko/Hana friendship, but only to embarrass the hell out of Kiba later.

Chapter 6: Sensei swap
"Ebisu is a closet pervert?" Kakashi asked. He never would have guessed.
"He's weaker than me!" Naruko shouted, "I beat him with my Harmmm mm mumu!"
Ebisu halted the rest of the phrase that would rob him of all his standing in Konoha, if not the world, by getting the girl in a modified sleeper hold. "Keep quiet about that and I will treat you to as much ramen as you want later," Ebisu whispered. Naruko nodded, still angry. She would clean him out and then some because she was starving!
Ebisu went to say something, but suddenly slumped over.
"I cannot allow such a bold pervert to train Naruko-san."
Kakashi and Naruko turned to see what took out the pervert and found Haku standing there, a leaf forehead protector holding back his hair. "Haku! It's been a long time," Naruko happily cheered. Haku was one of the few people that Naruko could identify with. Both had been viewed as something they weren't as well as both having been persecuted for something that they were and had no control over. Haku didn't choose to be born with his Kekkai Genkai, just like Naruko didn't choose to be born a bijū, nor was she evil.
"Zabuza-san told me to take care of you and that is what I intend to do," Haku said, "I noticed you had a lot of trouble with chakra control, we can start with that." The two walked away, Ebisu forgotten as the needles kept him unconscious. Kakashi thought about it for a few minutes, then decided it was for the best to leave the man like that. Nobody noticed Kakashi smirk as he left, mainly due to his ever present mask. 'My plan worked perfectly.'
Sadly, it wasn't until four minutes later that the needles were removed from Ebisu by a kind nurse, who he promptly fell for.
[Hot springs]
Naruko was staring through the hole in the wooden fence at the women who were bathing. Even though she was a girl herself, she still enjoyed peeking on women. While in the baths, she felt sleepy and was too self-conscious about her own body to look around at others. Like this, she could enjoy herself without worry. If she had any tails, they would be swaying around at hyper speed!
"Naruko-san," Haku deadpanned, "we are here for training."
Naruko wanted to say it was part of her training, but she needed real training to take on both Gaara and that Hyūga prick. She could always go and peek on the girls, but she probably only had this one chance to beat some sense into Neji and get back at that Gaara guy. Those two struck her as the types who would become chūnin right away, taking them out of her reach forever. She already knew that, no matter what, she wouldn't become a chūnin because of the village's dislike of her. The least she could do was make a pair of strong fighters who became chūnin look stupid for being beaten to a pulp by a genin who didn't get promoted.
"First thing we will do is water walking," Haku said as he stepped onto the spring and walked into the center of it, "it is a modified form of tree climbing. Since water is a surface that always changes, it is harder to perform." The black haired boy then explained how to do it. Naruko grinned and gathered her chakra, then stepped on the water.
SPLASH!
"HOT!" Naruko howled as she scrambled out of the water. She glared at the water, then tried again. Over and over, she tried and kept getting drenched. Luckily, she seemed to be getting the hang of it a bit. On her latest scramble back to the shore, she pulled off her dress. She was wearing her tight black shorts and a black, tight vest type of thing that Anko had handed her, saying Naruko needed to wear something unless she wanted to win by distraction. Naruko highly doubted that Neji or Gaara would care if she stripped naked during their fights, so she knew she couldn't count on winning via them taking the crimson express to Perv Town, population: Ebisu, Sandaime Hokage and Iruka. (Maybe Kakashi-sensei too.)
Naruko was on the water and doing quite well when she heard a perverted giggle, causing her to fall into the water again. A man with long white hair was at Naruko's favourite peeping hole, giggling as he watched the women bathe. Haku wanted to deal with the man, but the feel of the man's chakra was stopping him from attacking. Naruko didn't feel it, probably because she had a lot of chakra, and her control of it so poor that it blocked up her tenketsu. She ran at him and jumped, delivering a kick that was too high to hit the pervert.
"HA!" said pervert cheered as he watched the redhead fly over him, "you missed me!"
Naruko's foot hit a board that was in front of the white haired man. The board flipped over on the pole in the center of the fence and the other end slammed into the man's groin with a dull thud that couldn't have been wood. Said pervert's mouth shot wide open in a silent scream as he crumpled, gripping his smashed groin as he writhed in pain. Naruko stood over him. "This is my spot," she warned. The man nodded as much as he could, tears streaming down his face like waterfalls.
Fifteen minutes later, the old pervert was sitting on a rock. "I hope you're happy," he grumbled, "because of you, my research is ruined!"
"That was peeping," Naruko growled.
"Same thing. I needed that experience to help me with my writing," the man sighed, then winced as he shifted the wrong way.
"Who are you?" Naruko asked.
The old man smiled as he went through a few hand seals, a large frog appearing behind him. The old guy jumped on it, assuming a weird stance, as did the frog. "I am Myōbokuzan's master sennin. Jiraiya the Toad Sage!" the old creep shouted. Okay, so it was a toad that he was standing on.
"Lame," Naruko deadpanned.
Jiraiya made the toad disappear. He landed with a smirk. "If that doesn't impress you, then my writing skill will," he said as he pulled out a very familiar book. Naruko gasped as she pointed at the book. "I see it's popular here too," Jiraiya mused to himself.
"That is the dirty novel that Kakashi-sensei won't let me read!" Naruko shouted. Haku made a mental note to find Hatake-san later and 'discuss' his willingness to corrupt his students.
"Like a mole hill brat like you could appreciate my novels," the white haired Sannin said as he turned to go back to peeping at bathing women.
"Stop doing that you pervert!" she shouted.
The man turned around. "I am not a pervert!"
"What are you then?" the redhead growled.
"A SUPER pervert!" Jiraiya proclaimed proudly as he did some weird clutching motions with his hands.
Naruko chose to not say anything about that. "You interrupted my training," she growled, "now you have to help me with it!"
Jiraiya quickly scanned the girl before him. "Come back in five years and I'll consider training you. In more ways than one." He giggled to himself.
Naruko was pissed off. "You damn Ero-Sennin!"
"Don't call me that!" he shouted in the girl's face.
"That is what you are!" she roared back, "a perverted old sage!"
Jiraiya backed off and pointed at her with both hands. "This is why I don't like brats! They don't respect their elders, can't appreciate good literature, yell a lot, disrupt everything around them and are as curvy as a two-by-four!"
Naruko's eyes narrowed. "I know how to deal with someone like you."
"Bring it on brat! Nothing you can do will change my opinion of you!" the white haired man challenged.
"Oiroke no jutsu!" the redhead shouted before transforming into a tall, leggy, busty redhead. As an added bonus, she was only protected by wispy smoke and stray strands of his knee length hair.
"I LIKE YOU!" the man yelled as he gave the girl two thumbs up with blood spraying from his nose. He started looking at her from all angles, critiquing her jutsu and calling her a genius. Naruko was thinking that all adults were idiots if they kept falling for this jutsu. That and she felt like she needed a shower now...
"So~" the transformed girl said in a shy, cute tone, "do you think you can help me train?"
The man nodded his head so rigorously that Naruko swore he was going to break his own neck. "Of course I'll help train you," the man said as he turned his back on her, "but on one condition..."
"What's that?" was the cute sounding question from the redhead.
"You must," he turned to reveal the perverted grin on his face, "remain like that the whole time!"
Poof!
Naruko glared at the man, pissed off at him. "Ero-sennin."
The man sighed. "Never mind then, I'll help out," he looked over to Haku, then back at Naruko, "I was here for something else, but I can help out here first."
Naruko, being the way she was, went back onto the water and promptly fell in. Jiraiya noticed something odd and beckoned her over. "I am going to check something out," he said, "first, mold some chakra."
The girl looked at him oddly, then did as she was asked. Jiraiya noted right away that the fragmented remains of a seal appeared on the girl's stomach. 'No way...' he thought in shock as he realized what he was looking at, 'it can't be. Naruto is a guy... To have this particular seal and be a girl... Wait!' He examined the seal a little closer, noticing that there were differences with this seal that made it a completely different one. It looked like the Eight Trigrams Seal, but it wasn't. The most glaring difference, or what remained of it, was that the central spiral was in the opposite direction and composed of two curved lines rather than one. The exterior seals were also different as well, being designed to hold something inside the girl that he couldn't identify due to the damage to the seal. From what he could see of the seal, it appeared to have been designed to slowly erode until it could be broken by the person it was placed on. Quite simply, once the person had enough power, they could dispel the seal themselves. This girl was clearly not ready yet.
"Uh..." the girl stepped back slightly, "don't tell me you got a thing for little girls..."
"I am not that kind of super pervert!" Jiraiya shot back, "but I figured out a way to help you out with this little exercise."
"Really?" Naruko chimed, happy that it wasn't a lack of talent that prevented her from mastering this skill. For a few moments, she wondered if she had hit her limit as a ninja.
"It is a massage that helps relieve stress on the chakra coils and makes it easier for the patient to mold chakra," Jiraiya lied. What he was intending to do was obliterate the remainder of the seal. While it was no longer doing whatever it was originally supposed to do, the ruins of it were interfering with her coils.
"Don't do anything perverted," she warned. Jiraiya just sighed as he slammed his hand into the remains of the seal, destroying it completely and knocking the girl over.
"There, now try water walking again," the old pervert stated. The kitsune walked onto the water, not falling in the slightest. Jiraiya smirked, figuring he would go see the old man and then find Minato's kid.
"Oh Jiraiya, what are you doing here?" Hiruzen asked as he walked up. It was rhetorical, the only thing Jiraiya did around hot springs, hotels, high schools, colleges, shopping plazas and anywhere you could find young women was his 'research.'
"Just doing some research, helping this redhead out with her water walking," Jiraiya said, "I was wondering where Naruto was..."
Hiruzen wished he had a camera. "SHE is right behind you," he informed his student while pointing behind him at Naruko. This was going to be so good!
Jiraiya's face was priceless, eyes wide open and his mouth resembled a fish out of water. He just kept turning back and forth, his finger switching from Naruko to Hiruzen. "B-b-b-b-b-but Naruto's a guy!" he shouted, finally finding his words.
Hiruzen sighed as he put his pipe out. "That is right, Naruto was a boy. This is Naruko, daughter of the Nine-tails."
Once again, Jiraiya spun in circles while pointing between the Hokage and the kitsune. Hiruzen wondered which would take the perverted author down first, the shock of Naruko's identity or the rapid spinning.
"Jiraiya... Isn't that my godfather?" Naruko asked. Jiraiya snapped in her direction, stared at her for a full minute, then fainted. Hiruzen chuckled, Naruko really was unpredictable.
[A few days later]
"You have ZERO talent!" Jiraiya shouted at the girl.
Said girl wanted to shout back at him with the same yell that had shaken the windows back during the first exam, but she refrained from doing so. The old guy was useless enough with him peeping all the time rather than monitoring her. Putting him in the hospital would be too much. "I'm trying my best," she growled back. She started up again.
"Stop! Just stop right there!" Jiraiya ordered. The girl stopped and glared. "Listen to me now. I know that you should have more than enough chakra for this, being the new Kyūbi and all, so why ain't it working?" He thought for a few moments. "Hey, back in Wave and against mutt boy, did something feel different to you?"
Naruko thought for a few moments. "I felt very hot. It was my chakra, it felt like liquid fire flowing through me."
"That's it! That must be what is wrong," Jiraiya stated. A blank look told Jiraiya he needed to explain himself. "My guess is that you can access the power of your tails' chakra separately from your regular chakra." Further explanation was needed due to the dim look on Naruko's face. "Geez, you don't know anything at all. The bijū were ranked based on how many tails they possessed, the nine-tails being the strongest living one for obvious reasons. Since you can't use your tails, in more ways than one, you are relying on the chakra your body creates naturally and not the power of your tails. To put it simply, you are a tailless fox demon right now and that is why you can't perform the summoning jutsu. We need you to use that fiery chakra, the chakra from your tails. I guess that means that each tail of a bijū has its own coils and chakra system, though it would still be connect to the main one. Hmm. Maybe it is more like a chakra booster system..."
"But I don't have any tails," Naruko protested.
"You also look nothing like a female fox demon of the highest calibre, but it's still a fact," Jiraiya pointed out. He thought for a few moments. "I got nothing right now, so go into the village and relax for the day while I think of a solution." He shunshined away.
Naruko's expression became flat. "Yeah right. You just want to go eye rape some women, pervert." She turned and walked away to go do as the man said. Maybe Haku could help out, but first, lunch!
She wasn't even able to make it to Ramen Ichiraku for lunch. She ran into a certain pinkette before reaching Heaven on Earth.
"Naruko!" Sakura called out, "get ready!"
"For what?" the kitsune dumbly asked as the girl stopped running in front of her.
"Shopping," Sakura replied. The pinkette grabbed the redhead and dragged her towards the flower shop of all places. There, they picked up Ino and they dragged the poor kitsune off to the clothing stores. Not an easy feat, but still doable.
After a brief whirlwind of girl talk, clothes being held up to her for comparison and her own clothes being yanked off, Naruko found herself stuffed into a changing room with a few sets of underwear. Wasn't that sexual harassment? She remembered how Ino turned red when she saw Naruko's underwear, just as she was pulling them off too, calling them a 'tong' or something like that. What did that mean? Did Anko give her something strange to wear?
"They...took...everything!" Naruko muttered out as she stood in the raw. She quickly pulled on the underwear, taking pains to make sure they only went where they belonged. Hey! These ones weren't so bad! She then looked down at the bra, wondering how the heck someone put that thing on. The thing Anko gave her was perfect since you just pulled it on. The thing the girls wanted her to put on looked like a piece of torture equipment. She picked it up and started trying to work it out.
Ino and Sakura were idly chattering about nothing in particular (Sasuke) when they heard a pitiful whine come from the stall. Ino got up to see what was wrong. Sakura, curious, moved closer so she could hear what was going on.
"What's your problem now?" Ino questioned irritably.
Naruko whimpered. "I can't get this thing on."
Ino sighed. "Geez. Here, I'll help you out."
"Hyaa!" Naruko yelped, "where are you touching me!"
"Just stay still or I might end up hurting you," Ino growled. A bit of shifting was heard along with some muffled moans and a light thump or two.
Sakura felt her cheeks heat up. This sounded so wrong...
"Ino~ Those won't fit in there~ Ahh!" Naruko moaned loudly. By now, a few guys were interested in returning with the girl they were escorting in case this kind of thing happened often. Even a few girls were glancing over with blushes on their faces.
"J-just don't move to much or it may hurt going in," Ino grunted. More sound of a scuffle and then Ino cried out, "I don't believe this!"
Sakura couldn't take it and pulled the curtains open to poke her head in. "What's the matter?"
Ino looked at Sakura while holding up a panting, blushing Naruko. "She's even bigger than me! The bra is too small!"
In the end, the two girls had to get a shop keeper to help out since they felt a little inferior to the redhead's bust. Luckily, they didn't hear the woman mention anything about needing a bigger tape measure, like they did with Hinata during their last academy physical. They did hear something about a small C being needed. Ino growled, knowing that she wore a smaller size, which she wouldn't disclose.
"Good thing she isn't after Sasuke with those things..." Ino muttered angrily.
"How do you know that?" Sakura asked. She was even angrier than the blonde. Forget not disclosing what size her bra was, she hadn't even worn a real one yet! The shop keepers always said that it was 'too soon for her' and helped her pick out training bras.
"While I was helping her out, she kept blushing, shivering and moaning at every touch," Ino stated, "she might have a girl's body, but her heart is still that of a perverted boy."
Sakura gave Ino a flat look. "What right do you have calling her a pervert? You groped her on the first day of the exam. Who knows what you did to her just then in the stall!"
Ino turned red from anger and embarrassment. "HEY! I thought it was some stupid henge at first. And I was only helping her out because we, unlike you, aren't stocking stuffing all year round!"
That signalled the end of any civil conversation. When Naruko finally came out, mumbling about how all women were perverts as she watched the oddly happy shopkeeper walk away, she was treated to the sight of Sakura and Ino rolling around on the ground, spitting insults and yanking at each other. The kitsune idly wondered if clothing would come off before she started wondering if it was safe to continue being trained by perverts. She broke up the fight when she heard a few buttons pop open.
[Ten minutes later, Ramen Ichiraku]
Ino and Sakura were still pissed at each other, but Naruko had said that the first sign of a fight, she would toss both of them out of her sacred temple to ramen. Yes, she actually called the small stand a sacred temple. So here they were, sitting with the redhead between them, eating the noodles while the girl gleefully inhaled them. A stack of fifteen bowls were set by the sink and it looked like Naruko wasn't going to slow down soon.
"How much can you eat?" Ino asked.
Teuchi chuckled and pointed to a wall. Both girls looked over and saw that, during a ramen eating contest, Naruko (right after wave) had managed to scarf down twenty eight bowls of ramen. "The only reason she didn't eat more was because the others gave up," the old man informed the girls, "and they only gave up because we were out of ingredients."
Both girls looked at the one between them and wondered if any blood was found in her ramen streams. Even more importantly, where did all that ramen go? She should be as huge as an Akimichi after that. Right then and there, the two girls decided to eat more ramen. It must be going to her chest! It was the only reasonable explanation.
"I'm done!" Naruko cheered as she put down her eighteenth bowl. She then dug out her wallet, still Gama-chan, and paid for all the ramen. Ino and Sakura idly wondered if that frog wallet had a bottom since the tidy sum Naruko pulled out did nothing to the size of the wallet. "Let's go find Ero-sennin!"
[Hot springs, half an hour later]
"Ohhh yeah! Just an inch further to the left... Right there!" the perverted sage muttered to the girls on the other side of the fence, "oh you are all sooo naughty. Show it all to Jiraiya-sama." The man was blushing up a storm and already had soaked tissues stuffed in his nostrils. He was panting a bit too. He suddenly jerked, feeling the most potent killing intent he had ever felt, even more than that time his Tōton jutsu gave out when Tsunade and twenty other kunoichi in the bath decided to remodel Jiraiya's face and body. He turned to see his apprentice and two other girls glaring at him, all of them getting ready to attack him.
Three minutes later, Jiraiya was crying over the remains of his notepad. "You didn't have to go and kill my most faithful companion," the man pitifully wailed.
"Don't go doing perverted stuff in front of ladies again," Ino huffed out.
Jiraiya decided he wanted to die. "What ladies? All I see is a slightly warped black board, a set of mole hills and some tissues..."
Two minutes later, the white haired pervert was nursing some new bruises. "Well, it's time to get back to training," he looked at the other girls, "is your harem staying to watch you work up a sweat so your dress clings to your every curve? Maybe you should use that oiroke jutsu again. They're sure to love it!"
Ino blushed while Sakura glared at the man. "We like boys!" the two girls shouted.
"Ooh! A tsundere harem too," he nudged the redhead as he leaned in and whispered to her, "you got good taste. The blonde seems interested. Pinky may take a little while to come around though. Her kind tend to be a little wild in bed."
Naruko nervously chuckled, but shook her head. "They like Sasuke, not me."
Jiraiya got a sour look on his face. "Oh him, the sharingan brat. Ah whatever, I'm not interested in geniuses. I prefer idiots like me." He smirked, remembering how much of a goof ball he had been. Look at him now, one of the Leaf's most powerful ninja and a man loved by women the world over! "Now that I have thought about it, I know a way to help you out with," he glanced at Ino and Sakura, "with using some of your full power."
"Really? Tell me! Tell me!" Naruko cheered.
"First, I want you to keep summoning until I say otherwise," Jiraiya ordered. Naruko nodded and went off to start summoning until told to stop.
Sakura and Ino walked a bit closer to the perverted old man, but not close enough to be in danger. "Summoning... You mean to tell me that Naruko, of all people, is a summoner now?" Sakura asked.
"What's so special about summoning?" Ino asked. She had heard about it, but paid little attention to the subject. It required lots of chakra and time to master, so she had no need for it.
Jiraiya dropped into teacher mode. "Summoning is a time/space ninjutsu where a ninja has signed a contract with one of the great animal races. Think of it as calling on intelligent animals that can use jutsu like us," he then remembered Sakura's sensei, "your sensei can summon dogs, me and Naruko summon toads, or at least she's trying to."
"That seems...appropriate..." Ino muttered, remembering Gama-chan.
Jiraiya looked over and noticed that Naruko was completely messing up the hand seals. Instead of being a good teacher and point out the error, Jiraiya wanted to see what happened with those hand seals. After all, Minato accidentally created the Rasengan from a training exercise he was developing.
"Kuchiyose no jutsu!" Naruko shouted as she held her hand close to the ground. A large smoke cloud burst away from the spot, nothing abnormal with her poor control. What happened next was hilarious.
The cloud blew away to reveal a woman. She had white hair that reached her lower back, a black kimono held shut by a blood red sash. She had nothing on her feet and a pipe held in one of her delicate hands. Her right eye was closed, the left being covered by an eye patch with a fox made of silver on it. Jiriaya noticed the arm guard on her right forearm, but who cares about that kind of thing? She had a nice figure and seemingly nothing under the kimono!
"That doesn't look like a toad..." Sakura and Ino deadpanned.
"YOU'RE A GENIUS!" Jiraiya bellowed as he flew at the woman, arms held out to...grope her or something, "to the promised valley I go!" His face was lined up perfectly with her chest.
The woman opened her right eye, a sharingan spinning at the sight of a man flying at her. She sidestepped the flying pervert and swung her pipe down to hit his nose. Jiraiya grabbed his injured nose and smashed into a rock, face first, breaking his nose. "None other than Kyūbi-sama may touch me without my master's leave," the woman stated coolly with a deceptively soft voice. The sharingan scanned everyone until it landed on Naruko. The woman got down on one knee and bowed to the redhead. "Kyūbi-sama, I am at your service."
"W-who are you?" Naruko managed.
"I am your faithful vassal, Shiratama. Call me Tama if you wish," the woman said, "what do you require of me?"
"Strip!" Jiraiya shouted without thinking. Women who hit him tend to hit him more if he was a pervert.
Nobody expected Tama to ask, "do you wish for that, Kyūbi-sama? Shall I remove my clothes for you?"
Naruko shook her head. "No, please don't!" the girl was silent for a few moments, then asked, "how did you know I was the Kyūbi?" She didn't realize what she said until the replay went through her head.
Ino and Sakura stepped back a slight bit. "Y-you're the nine-tailed fox?" they shouted.
"No need to act like that ladies," Jiraiya said as he appeared behind them, stopping them from running off, "I can assure you that the attack thirteen years ago was not the will of the Nine-tails. It was forced to attack. Also, Naruko is the NEW Kyūbi. None of the bad things her mother did have anything to do with her."
"But she's a demon!" Ino shouted.
"And you're clan robs people of their bodies, invades their minds and temporarily disrupts the connections between their minds and bodies. Does that make you any more normal than her?" Jiraiya shot back. Ino looked away. "If this uncute brat wanted to do any of the things her mother did, then she would have done them already. Think of it for a moment. Would a terrible demon take half of the shit she went through without fighting back? I don't think so." He glared in the direction of the council building. "If you want to find the true demons in Konoha, go look for the adults that made her younger years a lonely hell. Had she been cared for properly, she would be the elite rookie, not that sharingan brat."
Sakura had an image of her aunt flash through her head and felt shame in being related to the woman. Just like those born into shady families or clans, Naruko had no choice in her birth parents or race. Wait, birth parents. "Who's Naruko's father?"
Tama cleared her throat. "Sometimes, the Bijū decide to end their rule and give birth to an heir to take over. The Nine-tails has done this twice already. The females do not require mates because they can choose whether or not to become pregnant. Naruko-sama's mother impregnated herself, so there is no father. Of course, she could have allowed herself to be impregnated. Human blood would have been overridden by the power of the Kyūbi's blood, making her child a full demon. Once the heir has lived for over an hour, the previous Kyūbi will cease to exist and pass their powers on."
"Sounds boring," Ino and Jiraiya said at the same time. A life with the possibility of no sex but still getting pregnant... that had to suck.
"Though they do not require a mate, the Bijū sometimes select one or more life partners. They can will these life partners, if both are female, to be pregnant was well. The child will be a half demon, bearing the blood of the human and Kyūbi. Of course, the heir must be a full blooded demon," Tama finished.
"What's with that sharingan? Did you take it from an Uchiha?" Jiraiya asked. It had been bugging him for a while now.
Tama's sharingan spun and changed shape. It was now a ring with four points sticking out to the corners of her eyes and two pointing inward to her pupil from either side. "One such as me stealing from those honorless cutthroats? Don't make me laugh. It is the traitorous Uchiha who stole the sharingan from us demons." She took a deep breath, making her sharingan revert to the basic form. Oddly enough, her basic sharingan possessed two rings, the second ring having three tomoe arranged in reverse of the smaller ring. "A demon clan made a contract with the Uchiha when they first started out, then they summoned one who possessed this dōjutsu and stole the eyes for their petty revenge on the noble Senju clan. Thankfully, Kurama-sama, the Ichiban Kyūbi, cursed the eyes they stole, making the Uchiha clan as a whole turn into murders and thieves who stole from their own kin and allies for power."
"Cursed?" Naruko asked.
"In order for us demons to awaken the second form of the sharingan, the Mangekyō Sharingan, we need to form a life contract with a human. Our Mangekyō Sharingan also has no ill effects on us," Tama explained.
"I heard that Uchiha have to kill their someone in order to unlock the usage of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Sadly, using the second form and its powers eats away at their vision until they are completely blind, sealing their Sharingan and all related abilities away forever," Jiraiya finished up for the kitsune.
Tama smirked. "That is half our great lord's curse. The person they must kill is a person they are close to, but feel no fraternal bond to. The other half of the curse is that they can stabilize and reverse the deterioration of their vision, but they have to kill a person who also possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan and have the eyes implanted into their own. This normally causes the designs to mix into one, creating Eien no Mangekyō Sharingan, a Mangekyō Sharingan that will never destroy its owner's eyesight." Her eye shifted to its Mangekyō Sharingan form, then pulsed as the thick ring divided into three separate rings. The outside ring kept the outward spikes while the innermost ring broke into four pieces to surround her slitted pupil, the two prongs turning into four short spikes pointing towards her pupil. "Us demons can unlock the Eien no Mangekyō Sharingan by killing a wicked human, or an Uchiha with either Mangekyō Sharingan." She returned her eye to the standard sharingan form.
"Why did you appear?" Sakura asked.
"Are you dull witted? I was summoned by Kyūbi-sama," Tama stated.
Jiraiya decided he had enough history lessons. "Listen, Tama-chan, I was trying to help Naruko here use her tails to summon a toad to help her improve her chakra control. I was wondering if you could help us out?"
Tama scowled at him. "Next time you call me Tama-chan, I'll reverse summon myself while holding your genitals, taking ONLY them with me. I can't help her access her powers as a Bijū because she is far too young to use it." Jiraiya instantly covered his genitals in fear.
"I already used them a few times before," Naruko popped in.
Tama's neck cricked as she turned to look at Naruko. "Y-you already used your powers? But that isn't possible! You need at least fifty years of experience to even sense that power!"
Naruko thought for a few moments. "I was really mad the first time."
"That could explain it. Anger sometimes lends you the power of your tails, but you still can't use them at will yet." Tama started thinking to herself.
"But I used it again not too long ago," Naruko protested, "I used it against that Kusa-nin and Kiba."
"Three times? That shouldn't be possible... Did anything strange happen lately?" Tama asked.
Naruko frowned. "Yeah. That perverted snake woman bit my neck!"
"Anko bit you?" Jiraiya blurted out. He was thinking of a new novel: Icha Icha Mistress! His fans enjoyed the little bit of lesbian action in one of his earlier books, maybe they would like one whole novel of it! A bossy onee-chan character with her 'imouto' would drive the men (and a few women) wild! He knew it was getting him excited.
"No. That Kusa-nin did it," Naruko corrected. Jiraiya sighed, at least he had mental pictures.
"Can I see it?" Tama and Jiraiya asked. Naruko carefully moved her battle dress to show them the place she had been bitten. What they saw was a circle with four lines to form an endless 'hallway.' Four triangles stood outside the circle to form a box's corners.
"Hmm. It looks kinda like that curse seal Anko has, but it's too different," Jiraiya said, "that kunoichi must have been Orochimaru in disguise."
"Naruko-sama's body mutated the marking into something new," Tama mused, "it seems to be hyper accelerating her awareness as a Bijū..."
"One more time, in Japanese please," Ino said.
Tama muttered something about humans and their tiny minds. "This curse seal was changed by Naruko-sama's natural defences and it is now making her grow into her powers faster. That means that she will gain a few years of experience in a matter of months while idle. As for while she fights, it must be like she is almost old enough to use her first tail." She lit up her pipe with a breath of white flame and took a drag on it, then blew a stream of blue smoke into the air. "I might be able to assist you in getting Naruko-sama to perfect her summoning, but I need to train her as well."
"What does she need to do?" Jiraiya asked.
Tama took a deep pull on her pipe, then blew out a ton of smoke. When the smoke cleared, a long, ferret-like fox was there holding onto a white scroll with gold edges. "Kanko. There is a new Kyūbi-sama, I need her to establish herself as our mistress," Tama said to the small fox. It made a whistling/purring noise before it unwound itself from the scroll and allowed Tama to take it. "Naruko-sama. Just like with the toad contract, you must sign this with your blood."
"What is this?" Jiraiya asked. He had never seen such a contract scroll before.
"This is the Royal Line, a scroll containing the names of all our past leaders as well as choice humans who we recognized as allies or were taken as mates," Tama explained as she handed the scroll over to Naruko, "it also allows you to summon your kindred as well."
The redhead unfurled the scroll and saw a list written within.
Ichiban Kyūbi: Kurama (M)
Ally: Uzumaki Mito (F), Hashirama Senju (M)
Mate: Senju Mamori (F), Yamanaka Inomi (F)
Niban Kyūbi: Tsurenai (F)
Ally: Uzumaki Kushina (F), Namikaze Minato (M)
Mate: None
Naruko cut her thumb on one of her canines and added her own entry. She made sure to hide it from others.
Sanban Kyūbi: Uzumaki-Namikaze, Naruko Kyūbi (F)
Ally: Konohagakure
Mate:
Naruko left the rest blank, hoping to add other bits (cough- Sakura as her mate -cough) to it later. She rolled it up and handed it over to Tama while whispering, "don't show Ino or Sakura-chan." Tama nodded and told Naruko how to summon kitsune. It was strange because she was to focus chakra into her hands while holding them before her chest, then summon. Whatever she summoned would appear in front of her.
"Summon me again tomorrow. I must share the news with your kingdom, Empress Naruko-sama," the blue haired kitsune woman stated as she dismissed herself.
Naruko was about to go back to training when she remembered something written on the scroll. She glanced over at Ino, remembering that a Yamanaka had been mated to the first demon fox. She also remembered how the Kyūbi could choose to impregnate their mates if both were female, or have children the normal way. Did that mean that males could impregnate a female human too? Wait, how did a woman get pregnant? If the foxes could impregnate human women, that meant that Ino might be related to her somehow! Well, that would explain why they looked similar...
A/N~
For those wondering, Kanko are "Pipe-foxes." I lost one reader in the form of an anonymous reader. Oh well, I'll chalk him/her off next to Arina. Tsurenai means 'Loveless.'
Also, this is the last completed chapter I have for this fic. Luckily, I'm finished writing Part I for Two Demons. I still need to QC it and maybe do some minor alterations here and there, but it is done for now. Expect new events soon and badass Naruko.
Funny Note: This fic's little appreviation is KKIT, not to be confused with Duke Nukem's KTIT. They are two completely different things, though KKIT does sort of involve some KTIT. (Kitsune... you know the rest)
Responses-
chm01: I did that too. I broke a guy's rib and knocked another buy out (along with two of his teeth) by slamming him into a steel fence post. Still didn't help me much since it just reinforced people's belief that I was one of those crazy people who seems quiet and withdrawn until I finally snapped. They only left me alone after I bit into some jerk's arm who was trying to choke me out, then threw him face first into a concrete wall and kicked him into it when he started to slide down. Yeah, I can be downright vicious when pushed. Thankfully, I have left such violent outbursts behind me. I just go wild in video games instead.
SuperNeos2: For now, you're safe. As soon as Ino wants her, back off or you'll suddenly find yourself in the dead center of a busy mall with no clothes. When Sakura wants her too, you'll be able to go to the moon for free with no rocket AND no clothes.
Overlord of the afterlife: That was planned too. Nothing huge, just Sakura and Ino trying to 'girl up' Naruko, like they did in this chapter. Never works out well though...
God of all: Continuing.
Sky Zepherus: Neji's beatdown... Oh sh- Wait, I did plan it. Naruko's second fight is something else entirely, so look forward to that! And what did you say before? You didn't post a review for chapter 4.
Nairojam: I know. It just seems unnatural to go from 'idiot teammate' and 'stupid prankster' to lover in such a small amount of time. Add to it that Sakura and Ino have been straight their entire lives would make it very strange for them to suddenly develop an interest in another girl. Arina must love those stories where Sakura is bashing his head in one moment and practically mouth raping him the next.
Ah well, this chapter introduced a bit of NaruIno yuri for people to enjoy. Actually, it also introduced a tiny sliver of Naru/Shopkeeper too. Sorry to all women who read this, it just seems hilarious that girls call boys perverts for looking while girls can practically grope each other to assist in getting dressed and it is almost always nothing but slightly embarrassing.
As for poking fun at Ino and Sakura's lack of bust...Sorry again, I just couldn't resist. Like I said before, it is not Oiroke Naruko. I composed Naruko's appearance from three sources: Ino (slim body type), Sakura (clothing style) and the third is my own twisted imagination.(hair style and slightly increased bust size) I would lay out Naruko's three sizes, but I don't think I could get the proportions right. They'd just seem way off or odd. Let's just say that her hips are decent, her waist is trim and she has small c-cup breasts.
Spazzyninjafish: Your strength is probably from surfing, since it requires a lot of power to maintain your balance on those boards. My ability to move has been somewhat limited due to an injury I suffered. (go see Konoha's Two Demons, chapter 18 for details)
As for my fighting style, I never bothered to name it. Yeah, I created it. All torque based fighting styles, other than boxing styles, are self created. Don't bother learning one either unless it is boxing. They require a very high pain tolerance and often lead to joint issues later on in life. Unlike most people though, I've advanced my style to the point where I can drag out all that power with little to no risk to my joints now.
A good way to test pain tolerance, though it may seem slightly masochist, is to sit in seiza and see how long you can do it. It is one of the most uncomfrotable, painful positions in the world since it stress everything. By the way, seiza is to sit with your legs tucked under you so you are literally sitting so all the weight of your upper body is on the backs of your ankles.
What you are talking about when you mention the organ donations is called 'cell memory.' It has been used often in many movies. It doesn't occur that often with blood, unless you have a major transfusion.
You are one heck of a strong individual. Rather than emotional strength, which I was never able to obtain, I went for emotional neutrality. I am almost emotionless and it is not wholly by choice either. All I have left is loneliness, hatred and sadness. The rest of my emotions are faked, learned from watching others. The scariest thing is that I can feel love, but it feels like there is a hole through my chest where my heart should be. I guess that means that I am missing something important. I openly admit that I'm a screwed up, broken, incomplete human male. That's what happens when you suffer a crippling emotional breakdown.
ravenwingcorps: It starts up soon, but it won't fully flare up til Part II. I figure Ino and Sakura need some time to sort through their new emotions, though Ino decides to test them a little sooner and far more directly than Sakura does. I figure two years is long enough for the two to realize that they are, at the least, bisexual and they want some hot kitsune girl in their lives and bedrooms.
Pensuka: Me too. Just kidding. I've actually planned up to the Rasengan training, which Naruko will do fairly well at. Other than that...I'll try to have some fun with it.
Oxycoon: I know of a few fics that did the whole sudden relationship thing before. That's not my style. I've played matchmaker for more than two dozen people and none of them got together overnight. Since I have a third person's experience in how a relationship develops, I know when things go too quickly.
Angel Kiya: Thanks, I guess? Who's rating me, a Jūbi or Kyūbi? If its Kurama, then he's a dirty boy, reading yuri stories online. And its his granddaughter too. Ero-fox.
Dinian: So far, everyone seems to think that Arina is wrong, so I will do things my way. She/he/it doesn't like it, then stop reading. And I do agree, Naruto(ko)/Ino is sweet enough to cause diabetes. I decided for a more...saucy romance between these two, which I do believe fits Ino's forward personality. Doesn't mean I can't make Ino nervous about being with a girl.
Decdragon: December Dragon? Decimal Dragon? Sorry, I just like to try and guess where people's pen names/aliases come from.
(In case anyone is wondering, Excele has no origin other than my insane membrane, but Kurokami means 'Black God' in Japanese.)
Naruko/Ino will occur soon, around the Sasuke retrieval arc or just before Naruko leaves on her 2 year training trip. What you should look forward to is Sakura's reaction.
Gaara king of sand: I know. Spontaneous love doesn't always last. I prefer interest, friendship, love, then passion. Romance won't really begin til Part II, as always. Twelve is too young for anything other than puppy love when you only became friends two or three months ago. If Naruko, Sakura and Ino were childhood friends, then I would start the romance earlier, but they weren't.
Akane Mosoa: I think you misunderstood what I wrote. I can write a NaruHina, in fact I've got a one shot and two or three stories with NaruHina in them. What I can't write very well is Hinata's canon personality. In all the fics where I want Hinata to join the harem, she gets more confident in herself for Naruto or they have been friends for a while and she is slightly more resistant to fainting spells.
And about the fainting, I think its funny. I am also not going to hunt down all the anime episodes. I have a bandwidth cap and my hard drive space isn't unlimited. I do have all of the currently released manga though.
k4m3j0: That's what I say. I'm fairly certain that nobody is being forced to read my fics.
Friendship building...I'm doing that in Two Demons, but this fic will be slightly different. Ino's hand will be tilted slightly by a new, burning desire to maul a certain red yōko girl. Like I said earlier, saucy~ Sakura is just jealous, just like always.
Ladygodess8: Naruko will gain a tail, but not yet. She actually accesses a power before that. While I think it would be cute for her to run around with a rust red fox tail swaying around behind her, I think I'll wait until Part II.
I'm kind of dragging around in my head to make a new outfit for Naruko. For those who have played Skyrim, I was thinking of something like what the murals in Potema's catacombs display, the outfit of a Wolf Queen. Think of a skirt, leg warmers, skimpy shirt, arm warmers and a hat, all made from wolf furs. Like I said, those who have played Skyrim have probably seen the murals I've seen.
Karibanu: .Arina was saying that since there was no Naruko/anybody, I should stop writing and delete the fic. If that were the case, about 90% of the fics out there would never have been written. Evidently, a person who was relatively new to the site or loves those stories where love just suddenly explodes out of nothing.
Well, like you said, it's my fic so I'll write it the way I want. I'll take an idea from the reviewers here or there, like the possibility of Naruko/Hana friendship, but it's still my story!
deathgengeonous: Updated.
Irish Shift: A great story... Nah, its good, that's about it.
Jamie9696: What's with this ominous feeling? Could it be because of the 'so far' part?
Fai Senri: Updated.
NaruNamikaze: Glad you love this fic.
KTlovesmoney: Ohhh! My switch flipped. I'm performing some..EVIL! Kehehahahaha! (in Konoha, Kiba shivers from dread when he sees his sister reading a letter with a wicked grin on her face)
DarkLordK: It's true! Naruko is either hooking up with Sasuke, Kakashi, Itachi, Male Naruto (not always brother and sister) or her own father! The few Naruko/femcharacter stories I have found don't have the pairing listed, mostly Naruto(ko)/someone and the other girl/some guy(normally Sasuke). I just figured to knock off the two most well known Naruto girls with one swoop, er, one lesbian yōko.
