:::Author's Note:::
This update was done almost immediately after the first because after completing the first chapter, i realised that i just didn't quite feel complete, so here we are several hours later with the newest update
this chapter covers the first meeting of Naruto and Kurenai, it also covers the FemKyuubi questions that might be brought up later on and have already been brought up, though Kyuubi is quite OOC, so if you dont like that, the PISS OFF.
Now for the Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, nor am i making any money from this production ( an even if i was, i would still be as poor as i was about 3 hours ago)
:::3 years after meeting Kyuubi:::
Naruto had been trained by Kyuubi for three years, and at this point, he was confident in his abilities at using normal Genjutsu like other shinobi, despite the fact that he was only 8 years old. Throughout his training, Naruto continually pushed the boundaries of what Kyuubi thought was possible for a human to achieve. Every time she thought that he had reached his limit, his stamina and never say die attitude resulted in him surpassing that limit by great lengths.
Kyuubi had taught Naruto the basics of chakra control when they had first started out. She had gotten Naruto to stick leaves to his body with only his chakra. Eventually when he had finally managed to get the leaves to stick, she had him make the leaves hover over his body by an inch, this proved to a much greater challenge, but once the concept was explained, he managed to complete the task relatively easily. Although he could manage to hover one leaf over his body, when Kyuubi told him he had to start with doing the same exercise with more leaves until he could do it with 30 leaves hovering over his body at the same time, Naruto's confidence was slightly shaken but he pulled through and after several months of non-stop training, he managed to complete the task. Kyuubi kept intensifying each exercise making each harder to control than the last, until his control over his chakra was next to perfect for both small and large amounts.
Kyuubi also mentioned that using chakra, he could stick his body to any surface. In a n attempt to test this Naruto started walking up the wall of his apartment, before falling back to the ground and getting a large bump on his head. This ended up causing the Kyuubi to laugh at his expense.
By the time the Kyuubi considered Naruto's control to be at an acceptable level, a year and a half had passed. After that Kyuubi instructed Naruto in how to perform Genjutsu on other people, she then had him test his abilities by performing simple non obtrusive Genjutsu's over some of the villagers. Some of the Genjutsu's consisted of simple Invisibilty Illusion, an Illusion that caused people to overlook his presence entirely and a Transformation Illusion (Henge, one of the three academy basic techniques.)
By the end of the three years Naruto had finished the basic training (according to Kyuubi) for Genjutsu. Kyuubi explained that within chakra there was two core components, the Ki, or Body energy and the Chi, or Spirit/Mind energy. According to Kyuubi, the next part of learning how to perform Illusions was to learn how to separate the chakra within the body into its basic components.
It took Naruto the final six months, of these three years, to learn how to separate his chakra into its basic components. When he had completed that Kyuubi set him a task, he was to find a target and perform a genjutsu, using only his Chi to perform the technique.
Naruto had set out into the village and was almost about to turn in for the night when he came across a scene that he could not forgive.
:::Several hours earlier:::
Kurenai had just arrived back into Konoha from a long mission in Rai no Kuni (Lightning Country), and she along with several others had agreed to celebrate the missions success and much awaited completion at one of the taverns dedicated to Shinobi. The celebrations mostly consisted of drinking large amounts of alcohol and hoping to wake up in the morning with nothing more than a light headache. Kurenai had taken part in some of the festivities with her fellow Chuunins and Jounins, however she eventually started to feel light headed and decided that she'd had enough and left to go home.
Unfortunately for her, someone had spiked her drinks in the tavern and on her way home she stumbled in an alley way only to be saved from falling onto the ground by one of the Chuunins from the groups she had arrived with.
"Thanks for that, I don't know what's wrong with me. I know I haven't had that much to drink tonight." Kurenai thanked the man before trying to move out of his grasp. When she found that he was not letting her go, she insisted with an edge to her voice.
"Now, now Kurenai. We can't have the main attraction of tonight leaving when she has even been presented yet." A voice came from behind her and the man holding her. Kurenai was turned around and saw who had spoken, it was the Jounin that was in charge of the mission and the rest of the Chuunin as well. With the one many still holding her and having been drugged, Kurenai suddenly realised what was happening and what was about to happen to her. In an attempt to resist, Kurenai tried to scream, but before she could, the blade of a kunai brushed against her neck.
Valuing her life Kurenai chose not to scream, but just as one of the men was about to tear at off her Chuunin flak jacket, one of the men at the back was knocked unconscious. Seeing their friend fall to some invisible foe, one of the men called out for whoever did it to reveal themselves, only to be punched in the face with enough force to be rendered unconscious. After the man had been punched out, a disembodied voice covered the area.
"That guy wasn't serious, was he? I mean come on, you're ninja, I'm not just going to show myself simply because you asked for it. Though I would give you a thrashing if you asked for it, but that's just 'coz I'm going to do that anyway." Kurenai had to resist the urge to giggle at the statements that were made.
"Look, if you show yourself now, I promise we won't kill you." Snarled one of the remaining Chuunins.
When the Chuunin had finished talking he and the three remaining Chuunin that were unoccupied had several limbs severed from the body. When they saw what happened, the pain hit them soon after but no matter how much they tried to scream, no sound would come from their mouths. The Chuunin that had been holding Kurenai down paled at the scene and tried to run away, only to find that both of his legs had been completely severed at the knees. The Jounin that had tried to orchestrate this, formed the ram sign with his hands and channelled his chakra, calling out 'Kai', dispelling the illusion around their mysterious assailant, only to find a blue glowing blade burst out from his chest.
The Jounin looked behind him and saw who had attacked them, the man wore a long, blood red, hooded cloak with no sleeves, his pants were a pair of simple black ANBU style pants with closed boots on his feet. On the man's arms were black wrapping, so that now skin was showing, which disappeared underneath his cloak and a pair of black cuffed gloves of each hand. The only skin that could be seen on the man was the lower half of his face as the hood covered and shadowed the rest of his head.
"Ninja art: Illusion Blade Technique"
The single sentence that was uttered caused the Jounin to grin, he brought his hands back to the ram sign and began to channel his chakra, but when he called out 'Kai' to release the Genjutsu, his eyes widened to not only discover that the blade was not dispelled but that he was bleeding from his chest. Choking, he asked, "Who the hell are you?" The answer he received, however, chilled him right to the core of his being, "I am simply an agent of death and destruction, just like you." Once he heard his answer, the Jounin collapsed to the floor with the rest of the men who had now passed out from the pain of severed limbs.
The man let out a large sigh, wiping his forehead under the hood with the back of his hand, "That was surprisingly easy. No wonder they have to resort to rape to get their jollies, they're too weak and pathetic to get themselves a girl the normal way." Kurenai who was scowling at the start of the second statement that was made, couldn't stop herself in time and started giggling at the man's comments. Her giggling caught the attention of her saviour and her then started to approached her with an out stretched hand.
When the man got close enough, she reacted, but not in the way either of them expected, as she slapped the man's hand away from in front of her. "Okay then, don't accept my help. I'll just leave you here, incapacitated in an alleyway full of unconscious men who were just about to do goodness know what unspeakable things to you…"
"Wait." Kurenai called out to the man who had started walking away from her during his short monologue. "I didn't mean to reject your help, it's just I thought I could trust my colleagues, but they turned out to be less trustworthy than I thought, and then someone I don't even know, let alone that I've never even seen you before, I'm just a little agitated at the moment."
The man then suddenly turned around with a big grin and said, "Don't worry, I understand. I was just being a little sarcastic. Anyway, let's try this again; would you like some help there Miss…"
"Kurenai, Yuuhi Kurenai. And if you aren't going to take advantage of me then I would love you help. Although, I am curious about what you are going to do about the bodies, and why did you say that they were only unconscious?" The man touched two fingers to her forehead and called out, 'Kai', dispelling the Illusions he had placed, resulting in the men that once had missing limbs become whole and the blood that was painting the alleyway disappeared. Kurenai's eyes widened at the implications of what that meant but was quickly disturbed from her thoughts by the man in front of her once again reaching out to help her up, but the drug had taken effect and she couldn't move her body well. "But I can't move at the moment, so you're going to have to… Kyaa"
Just as she was suggesting an idea to help, the man pick Kurenai up, surprising her enough that she let out a small squeal. "What are you doing! Put me down, right now." Kurenai was red from embarrassment as the man carried her bridal style, and his comment next cause her face to flush even further, "Wow, you're pretty light. Well since you can't move, I guess I'll just have to take you home, uhh, to your home, that is."
At this point Kurenai had given up in trying to get the man to put her down and started directing him towards her home. When they reached the housing complex, she insisted that she could manage by herself now that she was home, only to collapse before even making a few steps. She was caught before she hit the ground and was laid down next to the down as the man took her keys and unlocked the door. The stranger then carried her inside and laid her down on one of the couches , as the man went to leave, Kurenai called out to him, "Before you leave, can I at least know your name?"
The man stood at the doorway before giving a sad smile, "I can't tell you my real name, but for now, you can call me Sakkaku, Tatsumaki Sakkaku." After he said that he left through the door and disappeared.
Since Kurenai could not move because of the drugs, she was left to think, especially of the mysterious man who saved her from a fate worse than death. "Illusion Tornado, ne. I wonder if we'll meet again, because I would definitely like to thank you properly." With that thought, the fatigue of the recent mission and her night caught up to her and she fell fast asleep.
Some distance away from the housing complex of Yuuhi Kurenai, the form known as Tatsumaki Sakkaku dissolved into the blonde haired and blue eyed form of Uzumaki Naruto. Letting out a sigh, Naruto started talking with Kyuubi about what just happened, "Whew, I was really nervous, I thought that the illusion wouldn't hold out and she would find out it was me."
Kyuubi simple laughed from inside him mind and said that if he didn't want to get found out he shouldn't have helped. That statement confused Naruto, "Ne, Kyuubi, I thought you would be more supportive of protecting women from rape and things like that?"
Kyuubi simply laughed again, "And why is that? Is it because I am in the form of a woman right now?" Naruto's nodding head gave away his answer the rhetorical question posed by the Kyuubi. "Well the truth is, being a Chakra Entity like I am, I don't actually have a gender to speak of."
This confused Naruto even further, "If you don't have a gender then why are you still in the form of a woman?" Naruto's question drew a slightly embarrassed chuckled from the Kyuubi, "Well, I guess it just, kinda, feels comfortable. It's most likely because my last two hosts were women, so I guess I just got used to being in a woman's body, despite the fact that while I was in each of my previous host's bodies I had less freedom than a slave of probation."
The answer placated the young boy and they started to continue talking about the continued training schedule they were trying to keep up. Several days after this event, Naruto found himself at the Hokage's office for a particularly interesting reasons, it was to be enrolled into the next year's class of ninja academy students. Naruto nearly jumped through the roof, mostly because his facade required him to act like a hyperactive idiot.
Coming years would prove to be interesting for the Blonde Illusionist.
