Hello! Sorry for the weeks of delay for this one chapter, but I... no no excuses this time! I think I got a bit of a longer chapter this time, and it's been progressing nicely I think. Maybe a little fast and abrupt, but hell, it's like that all around me so please accept it folks! Anyway, I'm already planing the next chapter nicely in my mind, just polishing it a bit before I hit the keybord! Anyway...
Warning: This chapter contains several 'serious' fluffs, a slight dirty talk and... Enjoy ^^
His eyes roamed her profile against the moon light (1). The copy ninja's masked face was hidden in his book, the one he hadn't read the last month or so. But he didn't read it now either, because –even though it couldn't be noticed- his eye were glued to the beautiful woman next to him. His memories of the once blonde girl ran through his mind, and he could only try to imagine how she would look like if she was blonde again. The silver haired shinobi sighted softly, the sound getting muffled by his mask into a mere outtake of air. His only exposed eye closed and he leaned his forehead on the top of the book. The feel of that woman's skin, hair and lips was still glued to his memory, but to him, they were too faint. He had always been an expert in hiding his dreams, desires and true dark emotions… but he felt like he was hanging on a rubber band from a cliff. She was so close. So close that she possibly wouldn't have time react if he did something.
Her scent hadn't changed much since when they were brats. It pulled him close, swept him off his feet and embraced him like sweet poison. It begged him to take her, and have his sweet way with her. She sifted softly in her seat, her legs slowly straightening. Her chunin west was open and the sleeves of her shirt were pulled up to over her elbows. That sapphire blue orb were hid under her eyelid and long bangs. They curled slightly, making her slender face appear softer. She really looked like her mother, Uzumaki Kushina. They shared the same face and peaceful expression when they smiled. And when that woman was younger, she had had long hair, just like her mother. But he hated what she had done to her hair. He wanted to feel those sun golden locks lacing around his fingers. But her now dull brown had felt soft. Not completely like silk, but he missed the feel of her damp hair.
He most of all missed those lips. Those curves of pastel pink soft skin against his own. But also how her petite body so easily fitted in his hands, in his embrace. Her hips, her back, her waist, her legs, her chest, her neck. It was like she was sculpted to fit him. To him, she was the dream character in his favorite book series. Actually, he had to admit that the book only was his cup of tea because the main character's love interest was a splitting image of his own. A look-alike of his only beloved.
A soft yawn made him open his eyes and once again look at the little form next to him. She had curled herself together and was so close to lean against the slightly older man's shoulder. Soft wrinkles appeared on his mask, telling about an equally soft smile hidden under it. He could touch her, hold her and kiss her at that moment, without her knowing. Without her ever waking up. He closed his book and looked at the fire. It had nearly died out, but the warmth and light somehow still remained. He sighted again, looking over at his beloved. The earth coloured hair fell somewhat wavy down her chest, ending not too abruptly just under the curves of her breasts with slight curls. The bangs that usually framed her face so softly now covered her upper face. Only her baby pink lips shined in a dangerous mix of the light from the moon and fire.
"Neko-san!" I shot up from my bed, fully awake and looked around the bedroom. Jumping off the bed, I quickly walked out of my bedroom. "Who is it?" It fell silent for the longest second before quiet huffs and puffs echoed in the apartment. "Neko-san, it's Nezumi, Hokage-sama wants to meet you!" I nodded as I saw the dark figure; the only thing 'glowing' was the white and black rat mask. "Hai, I'll meet him shortly." The figure bowed deeply, than vanished in a whirl of wind and leafs. I sighted when I knew I was alone and walked back into my bedroom. Once I was there, I got out my anbu uniform and underwear. When I finished showering, brushing my hair and teeth and changing into the clothes, I grabbed my mask and attached it over my face before I shunshined to jiji's office.
"Forgive my intrusion, Hokage-sama." Bowing deeply while kneeling, I kept my eyes close. The familiar sound of suckling on a pipe, and breathing out clouds of smoke were the dominant sounds in his whole office. "Rise." I did as ordered and got up, opening my eyes. "We're so glad you could join us, Neko-san." I silently crossed my fingers for not being the last one to arrive, but didn't get my hope too high. "So let me make the announcement…" He cleared his throat and blew a few rings of smoke out before he put down the pipe.
"Seven days from now. On the first day of the seventh moon, the chunin selection exam will commence!" I smiled under my mask and did my best to suppress a loud and girly squeal. "Later today, I'll do the announcement with the jonin senseis, but for now you all will get your assignments." It remained quiet as he took a breath and sighted, took a deep suck from the pipe, blew out a whole cloud and finally started to talk again.
"Hyo-san and Taka-san your teams will watch the training grounds on the eastern side the coming weeks and Uma-san, your team will watch over the western training grounds. The rest of you will be given shifts shortly. For now, go back and get some rest and prepare for more than a month with hard work. All except Neko-san are dismissed." I looked at the old man, my fingers itching to take off the rather heavy porcelain mask. "Naruko, there's something I'd like to talk to you about…"
I sighted, popped out my joints and ruffled my left bangs as I walked out of my apartment. The sounds of birds, people in the distant main district seemed to calm my somewhat fried nerves. Fried you may ask? Or why I needed to be calmed down anyway? Well, it was because of the old man who can call himself the strongest man in the village, Hokage-jiji. That old fool wants me to find someone to… "KONOHAMARU-CHAN!" "KONOHAMARU-KUN!" I shook my head and looked around. Indeed. Behind an ally, where the calmer walk paths were fenced in, were Naruto, Sakura, Konohamaru-kun, Moegi-chan and Udon-kun and some other kids I hadn't seen before. I sighted and started to walk over there, ignoring the shouts, pleads and mere screams they made. "What are you bastards doing in our village?" Oh great, Sasuke came to their rescue.
I itched the back of my head and ruffled the high pony tail I wore. "Great shot Sasuke-kun, have you secretly been practicing at home to earn praise?" He huffed in the tree and looked away, grumbling and mumbling something about 'stupid', 'women' and 'senseis', but what do I know? "Naruko-sensei!" I ignored both Naruto and Sakura, and hoisted Konohamaru-kun up on my hip and looked over the two teens in front of me. They were definitely Suna genins here for the exam. "N-Neko-neechan?" I smiled at Konohamaru and nodded. "Yup, Hisashiburi Konohamaru-kun." I giggled, than looked back at the Suna genins. "So, what were you guys doing? Acting like that in an foreign village and country?" The one in black gulped, then backed away a bit. The girl –probably the oldest of the two-no three- sighted and glared at the one in black. "Kankuro! I told you that you shouldn't have done anything to that brat. Just what would Gaara do if he-" "Gaara-kun is the one in the tree isn't he?" They looked a bit paler, then looked up at the tree. "G-Gaara!"
I sighted and put Konohamaru-kun down. "Well, be nice towards each other, before, during and after the exam, can you three promise me that? It was, Kankuro-kun, Gaara-kun and…?" I looked at the girl, who looked at the ground. "Temari…" I smiled and placed my hands on my hips. "Kankuro-kun, Gaara-kun and Temari-chan, please be kind to us during your stay, ne?" The two nodded, but when I couldn't see or hear the other one, I walked up to the tree and up the tree trunk, up to him. Once there, I looked at him while he just plainly glared at me. "I'm not going to leave until you at least nod in agreement Gaara-kun. Oh, cool tattoo.. 'ai', but I don't like the meaning of it though. (2)" I placed my palm over the red tattoo and felt cold skin against the palm of my hand. "Remove your hand." I giggled at the boy's quiet threat and moved my hand so only to fingers were on the kanji. They covered two thirds, leaving a little red mark, which was important to me. "You know, if you take away two thirds of the kanji for love, you'll get the kanji for power. And power can be so many things. It can be physical power, mental power; power over people, power as in powerful… but my favorite is power to save people. The kind of power you get for wanting to protect someone close and important to you… You know, love is a power too. The power to love, is as important as to breath, if you lack that power, your nothing more than something. A thing not worth calling by a name." I straightened my back popped a few joints, then looked back at the red head who by now gave out strong killer intent. "But then again, everything given a name, everything who can hate… can love. Even one of the Biju can love, because they can hate. Don't you agree, Subaku no Gaara?" He flinched visibly and I grinned with my head on the side. "Just remember to be kind to us while you're here. Enjoy the rest of your stay!" I sang and jumped down to the kids. "Let's go somewhere to eat!"
I gazed out in the air as I ate slowly from the enormous bowl of ramen I had ordered. My thoughts were glued to the boy called Gaara. It had probably shocked him –if only a little- that a stranger knew the meaning behind the tattoo, that he was a jinchuriki and that his full name was Subaku no Gaara. I chuckled at the thought, sipping some soup. But then my thoughts suddenly floated off to what Hokage-jiji had said. That old bastard had wanted me to… get friendlier with someone. So that I in time could let the Namikaze bloodline move forward! What an old pig! And then he suddenly got a grin on his face and asked me what I thought of Kakashi! (3)"Finished already?" I looked to my right, at Sakura with a questioning look. "What do you mean?" She pointed plainly down at my bowl, which indeed were empty. "Oh, yeah looks like it. Hehe sorry I was just thinking."
She smiled, then leaned closer and folded her hands. "About Kakashi-sensei?" She giggled as I felt my face heat up. My hands shot up to cover the blush, and at the same time, I shook my head. "N-no! What makes you think so!" She grinned and leaned even closer, her arms straight out and almost touching my arm. "Because… while we were in wave country, we heard the two of you upstairs…(4)" Her face had a slight blush, and I felt my face heat up even further. "P-pig! What are you talking about! I-it wasn't like that!"
"Not like what?" I covered my entire face and turned and faced my bowl. "Nothing!" I heard Sakura giggle, and then shifting in the seats. "Naruko, what is it?" I moved the bowl away with my elbow and laid my head down on the counter. "NOTHING!" How can a thirteen year old girl make so much trouble for me? And how on earth did she think we did that of all things!? I felt a hand on my back, and the size made me serten as to who it was immediately. "Whaaaat?" Kakashi sighted and patted my back softly. "I just wanted to talk to about next week." I nodded sluggishly and slowly raised my head, my hands folding on the counter. "Okay, where?" He got a thinking expression before he turned to the kids and –I guess- eye-smiled and waved before he grabbed me and shunshined away.
We sat silently in Kakashi's apartment. He was reading his little orange book and I read in my little beige-ish one. We had just finished talking about the chunin exam, a little bit of roaming memories, and then sat down to enjoy each of our favorite books. I felt so unbelievingly calm and at ease, which actually surprised me. I sighted in content and looked over at Kakashi, who sat silently watching me. …watching me? "Um…Kakashi?" He nodded and laid his book in his lap, never taking his eyes off me. "Something… you want?" He nodded again, this time leaving his book on the couch and moving silently towards me. I felt my body starting to tremble, but not inn fear, as he moved closer to me, not too unlike a carnivore going for its pray.
His hand quickly found its place on the couch back, close to my head, and the other on the seat, so close to my hip. His exposed face hovered over me, his lips in a –kami help me- super sexy smile. "There are lots of things I want... like…" He smashed his lips onto mine and climbed onto the couch, straddling me. His right hand moved down on my shoulder, and started to move my chunin west off. Blood shot to my face and I gasped as he groped my hip. Before I was aware of it, my west was off, and his hands had begun to slowly moving under my top. My heart missed a beat and I moved my arms around his neck, fisting his hair. He pulled back, taking deep breaths. I gaped for air and felt my entire being heat up. "Kakashi…" His hands continued to advance up under my shirt and I laid my head on his shoulder, trying to multiply my courage up. His hands, they felt so warm and nice against my skin, sending shivers up my spine.
Suddenly, they stopped dead in their tracks, and then moved down again. I sighted in surprise and turned to look at Kakashi. He still wore that sexy ass smile, but his visible eye held a comforting warmth I so often before had sought out. "Don't worry Naruko." He whispered gently in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. "I'm not going to de-virginise you just yet." My entire face probably lit up red, and I gripped his hair tightly. He just growled playfully, then continued to move his hands up and down my waist.
"But…" His voice suddenly sounded raspy and huskily and I turned my head to look at him. "I probably won't be able to hold back for too long." My whole body started to shiver as he suddenly gnawed on my ear gently. To say I was at a loss of words wouldn't even be an understatement. But soon, he moved down to my neck and started to kiss it gently. As he continued down to my collarbone, he started to lick and suck on my skin. And before I knew it, I leaned my head the other way and moans rolled out of my mouth. I felt his grin against my skin as he found a place that almost made my toes curl, and sucked and kissed down on it harshly. "But for now… It'll be enough with this." He moved back, stole a soft butterfly kiss and walked calmly back to his previous seat. I blinked a couple of times, then moved my hand to where he probably had left a mark. It was still wet from his treatment, but also a bit sore, so he probably intended it to be there a while. "When that mark is gone, probably will be the time when I give in to my inner desires too." I froze, and felt my whole face burn up.
It had been a few days since the… incident, and the mark still looked fresh. So yes, it still had the colour of fresh blood and almost shined from my skin, so indeed I was happy for once that the chunin west was high collared. Today we had planned to give Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke their application cards for the exam, and because of another… incident, we suddenly got late (5)… Kakashi late that is.
"Morning people!" I cringed and looked down as I stood stiffly next to Kakashi. He –as always- sat hunched down and resting a hand on his knee as he lazily waved his hand. The trio on the ground instantly glared at him -probably me too though- and pointed. "Today we got lost on the road of life." "YEAH RIGHT! LIEAR!" "Anyway, I know this is sudden, but I've nominated you guys for the chunin selection exam." The kids shouted something unclear, then Kakashi and I moved down on the ground and I handed out the cards. Naruto suddenly grabbed the two of us, and pushed us roughly together –facing each other and squished together with nothing but cloths keeping us apart- and grinned. "KAKASHI-SENSEI, NARUKO-SENSEI! I LOVE YOU GUYS!" I smiled softly as my face heated up.
I didn't pay much attention to what he said next, but it was only about how the trio had to want to join and where they had to deliver the cards and when. "Well then… it went as expected, didn't it?" Kakashi asked off-handedly as he walked back to me, hands planted in the pockets of his pants. "Yeah... Naruto even said he loved me." I giggled and watched as he and his friends moved along, shouting between themselves. "And you get a heated face just for that? Or was it the fact that we-" My face heated up and I slapped my hand over Kakashi's masked face. "N-NO! O-Of course… n-not!" I felt his grin under the mask and instantly regretted whatever I had said. "Is that so?" I nodded and moved back, taking it as far as to walking backwards. But he kept up, and soon had me trapped between his arms against the reeling. "Really?" His masked lips loomed over mine, his heated breath sending shivers down my spine as it hit my face.
"WHOOOO! GO NARUKO-SENSEI!" I clapped my hands on my face and leaned back over the reeling. Sakura waved at me with a huge grin and the two boys looked down at the ground, faint blushes hiding behind their bangs. "S-SAKURA-CHAN!" "We'll leave you two all alone now!" I turned my face the other way and huffed, and unwillingly leaned against Kakashi to not fall. The trio walked away quickly, and I jumped slightly as Kakashi wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close. "Hum, where were we?" I shivered as he slipped one hand onto my bare lower-back.
Sasuke fell to the ground like a stone, and Sakura just in time reached him from being hammered into the floor. Gai's summon started barking at the miniature Gai. But when smoke covered the turtle, I sighted and decided to step in before my team got scarred for life. That man in green overalls just got the time to appear, before I threw my jacket over his head and crossed my arms as I stood in front of him. "Gai-san… you never change. (6)" I smiled at the three and un-crossed my arms. "Konichiwa." They wore shocked faces, which I really couldn't blame them for.
But suddenly, Gai's student stood right in front of me and puffed his chest. "Who are you youthful woman who knows Gai-sensei and treats him like a youthful friend!?" I sighted and ruffled the bangs on the left side of my face. "I know Gai-san because of missions we've shared in the past, and my name's Naruko. And please… stop calling me youthful." I felt a shiver run down my spine, and turned to find… Gai-san… "NARUKO! MY YOUTHFUL-" A quick chop to his side made him eat and swallow the rest of what he was about to say, and I clicked my tongue. "Hello to you too Gai-san. I suppose your team's here for the exam?" As he dragged himself up, he nodded and showed a tired but shining smile. "You haven't changed… Naruko." I nodded off-handedly and ran a hand through my left-sided bangs. "Suppose I haven't, but what's up with teaching your student 'that' move? It's not healthy and even you get a real ass hangover afterwards." I arched a brow and crossed my arms firmly.
"Ehm… Naruko-sensei…" Sakura and Naruto appeared to my right, which scared me with the blind spot. "..Yeah?" Naruto sweat dropped and itched the back of his head. "How do you know that person?" He pointed at Gai-san and I chuckled and cupped my neck with folded hands. "Work, missions, a mutual friend." Sakura looked up at me, like she was on the verge of crying. What have I done for these two to act like this? But then a big teasing smile grew on her face and felt myself flinch, recognizing that devilish look. "That mutual friend is Kakashi-sensei right, Naruko-" I looked outside and sighted loudly and crossed my arms. "I think you three should leave soon, the exam might be starting up soon." I rubbed my left eye and sighted, feeling ever so tired. "I'm taking my leave!"
I took a shaky breath as I walked towards where Kakashi was waiting for our team. He stood there, looking out of the window, his hands buried in his pockets. "What took you so long?" Shaking my head silently, I walked up to the window and leaned against it. "I met your 'rival', his student or reincarnation and our team on the way here." He still stood his ground and I sighted. "He's still tiresome, have you seen him lately?" Kakashi shook his head and his eye landed on me. All that greeted me was a soft lifting of his shoulder. But I chuckled and gently rubbed my right eye with my fingertips. "Does it hurt again?" My body stiffened slightly, but I shrugged it off and nodded. "Yes, don't know why though… probably nothing important."
Then three pairs of footsteps echoed in the hallway and Kakashi nodded silently in approval. Geez, he can be such a demanding person to please… kami did I know that well. Only luck that genes were on my side. "Oh… so Sakura came too. Now we can probably take the exam." Kakashi walked to the middle of the floor, still in a lax stance. "What do you mean?" I yawned and looked over at Kakashi. "The truth is that only teams of three can take the exam." They stared at Kakashi, their expressions turning more and more confused. "Huh? But then… You said that taking the test were an individual choice. Did you lie to us?" "If we told the truth, the boys would've pressured you to take the exam. And you would probably do as Sasuke asked of you, even though you didn't want it yourself, for his or their sake. If you didn't show though, and just Sasuke and Naruto showed up, the exam would've ended right here for the both of them. However, you came here with your own free will, you guys are my proud team." I smiled as Kakashi finished with a double smile; meaning a eye-smile and an actual smile under his mask. "What are you waiting for? Better times? Go." I smiled, and for the first time, they looked at me. Determent looks, accompanied by smiles graced their faces. They walked over to the door and opened it. "Good luck!" They smiled back at me, then disappeared as the door closed behind them.
"They grow up fast don' they?" I smiled and felt my heart swell up in pride. "They do don't they?" I giggled and cupped my face, looking at the door. Then, as a though popped up in my head, I kicked myself off the wall and walked up to Kakashi. Grabbing the skin-tight shirt of his, I brought his face close to mine. "I got something important to tell you."
"Ah Sasuke-kun! You made it!" Ino yelled in delight as she jumped on Sasuke, who plainly ignored her as he looked over the crowd. Sakura glared at the blonde, then sighted and mentally brushed it off. "Hey Ino-" She stopped for a second, then a small smile appeared on her face." –chan." Ino almost gaped at her, but soon nodded a greeting to her as well. "You guys taking this stupid test too? Don't die…" Shikamaru muttered as he and Choji made their way towards their blonde teammate. "Hey! The lazy trio!" Naruto grinned and laughed, earning himself what looked like a rough smack on the head, but actually were a warning about manners from Sakura. "Don't call us that!" Choji complained in between eating some chips. "YAHOO! FOUND YOU!" Kiba yelled and walked up to the other two teams. "H-Hello." The ever so timid and shy Hinata whispered from behind Kiba. Shino nodded a greeting silently. "Well well, everyone's assembled." Shikamaru sighted and rubbed his right shoulder. "Geez, you guys too?" Kiba grinned, his eyes landing on Sasuke. "I see, all nine rookie genins this year are here for the exam. I wonder how far we'll get… eh Sasuke-kun?" Sasuke grunted, then got a over-cocky smile on his face. "You seem confident Kiba." Kiba grinned and shoved his hands into his jacket pockets. "We did a lot of training, we won't lose to you." Naruto puffed his chest, then pointed accusingly at the brunette. "Shut up! Neither of us will lose to the likes of you!"
"You got to be kidding…" I shook my head and sighted, rubbing my eyes. "Unfortunately not… but I wish I was…" Kakashi ruffled his hair, looking at me as I leaned down with my elbows on my knees. "How did you find it out? I mean…" I nodded and grabbed my cup of coffee from the table. "Who do you think? Ero-chichi and his web. I contacted him about Naruto's training if he made it to the third round." Kakashi nodded and folded his hands behind his head and leaned back in the couch.
"You planned it that far huh?" I chuckled dryly and nodded, taking a large sip of the pure black drink. "Of course, I even found some scrolls and stuff so that I could train Sakura if she make it to the third round to. But I didn't include Sasuke, seeing you being the only person still alive and in the village with the Sharingan to teach him…" He nodded again and used a finger to peel of his mask. When I think about it, I have gotten kind of used to it, but the sight somehow mesmerizes me each and every time I get to see it. His sharp features, cool lips and even his nose. Oh gosh, I sound like some girl with an obsessing school crush, but kami do I love that face of his!
"But when does Jiraya-sama plan to arrive?" I shrugged and put the cup back on the table, curling my legs under me. "The next few days or so… but no matter what happens, I'm going to meet up him, seeing it's been soon thirteen years since last time we actually talked face to face." Kakashi sighted and leaned over the table, his hand reaching out and touching my knee. "It won't be a problem, I'm sure." I smiled and laid my hand over his, rubbing it gently with my thumb. He turned his hand and laced fingers squeezing them gently. I giggled and looked down at our hands and fingers.
My heart skipped a few beats and then sped up. I got up, and walked over to Kakashi. My cheeks probably could be mistaken for tomatoes as I sat down, straddling his hips with my knees. I stroked his chest, pushing his open west closer to his shoulder. "Um… Kakashi?" He looked up at me, his eye looking slightly bigger than usual and a frozen look of shock on his face. I moved closer to his ear, nipping it softly once. "The… the marks gone now…"
...So? What do you think? I know it might have been too much of... fluffness but... but I just couldn't help it! I have the controll over those two and since Kakashi-kun is about twice my age I can't have my way with him *Grumbles* So I'll make Naruko have her oh so sweet way with him in my stead!
*Clears throat* Sorry for the rant, but seriously, what do you guys think? I'd love having some pointers as to what should happen sometime in the future (of the story ofc) and what you guys want to happen. 'Cus I'd like to make the story better and I don't think I can do it alone without someone else's help... so please, only a short review or pm would help a lot.
Anyway, let's give some explanation's:
(1)- Some more third-person training, 'sides, I've wanted a Kakashi's POV for a while now.
(2)- Ok, why does Naruko know about the meaning about Gaara's tattoo, that he's a jinchuriki and such? Well, my reasion for her 'phycic' knowlege is that she's in anbu. So at one point there's have to be an anbu who were in Suna and heard about this monster child, right? And as for the tattoo? In my mind, she... well she's a seal's expert on par with Jiraya-sama or even smarter considering her use of those. So in my mind (at least) it would be logical that Gaara's tattoo had some seal like properties to it, since it's not like carved into his forehead (Right? Anyway, that's my -the author's- opinion) and 'cus of her abilities she would just need to touch it or something. Also she has that seal in her eye so she can see the future somewhat, so she's heard it or will hear it sometime in the future. Sounds... logical? I think so...
(3)- Well, she's 25 after all right? And Kushina-san were ... I guess or think about 20 when Naruko was born, so Sandaime thinks it's about time for her to start a family. Also! NB! He plans to tell the public once Naruto becomes of age, so he think's it'd be nice for Naruko to find someone she loves instead of some mony/power hunter. Whoop spoiler material right there ^^
(4)- Remember their wrestling session after Naruko woke up from the fever? Well, the genins and the otehrs down stairs thought it was... itthey were doing... so 'eheh internal joke!'... if anyone thinks like me... maybe
(5)- Well, more fluffness that is. Kakashi's desire's growing and Naruko really doesn't put up a fight so... to hell with it, They want each other, and they can't keep their hands to theirselves. A truthful statement!
(6)- Ok, Naruko knows Gai? ai knows Naruko? Well (again) she's an anbu and Gai's and jonin and it would just we weird if htey never met before! 'sides, he don't know that Naruko is alive... You koow... as Minato's daughter that is, since Sandaime said she died during the Kyubi attack. So they know each other, but Gai only thinks Naruko's an orphaned anbu '.', finish and final!
Oh and as a side note!
Her hair colour! It's not coloured as in dyed, but with a genjutsu seal. Like she made an genjutsu which constantly uses chakra, even when she's asleep adn such to keep herself a brunette. As to the resion why, *points to 'My hidden eye'-chapter* just how many blondes with sapphire eyes have you seen in the series? Yes, she hadn't done it when she was 14 (Pictured age as to when she lost her eye) and then she later created the genjutsu and seal. Maybe I'll tell more 'bout it in chapter coming.
Well, as a last note, I've joined deviantArt! Pen-name's TheLittleVoca! And I've drawn a picture of Naruko there (I'll post the edited and coloured later and on my profile for you to view! ^^) and in different ages. One baby, another brat, teen and lastly now. Hope you'll like it and that it won't crush your image of Naruko!
Ja ne! LittleMyOwO
