A/N: Well, here we go again with yet another new story because it is a necessary process in the writing of my other stories. I can't help it, I read a story and an idea will come to me and I can't focus on my other stories until I write it down and get it out my head, so forgive me if you don't like it. Anyways, I noticed that Naruto is read as Naruto U. so in a sense, this is a perfectly logical thing. Also, because I still haven't found a way to 'properly' translate jutsu, I'm still writing them in English, sorry. This chapter is in essence, a collection of spoilers for later in the story, however, parts of this chapter are relevant and non-spoiler like. I'll try to put all spoiler stuff in bold.
-Old Memories-
Naruko breathed calmly as she stared at her opponent across the field. He stood in a non-caring way as if this exercise was below him, which it was until Naruko could actually hit. His stance was fluid, allowing for flexible dodging, and smarting slaps that whipped out from the corner of her eyes.
Sighing, he closed his eyes before reaching into his jacket and pulling out a book on chakra control, he was still not satisfied with his level of chakra control. Without looking up, he leaned back, ducking under the chest level swing from his sparring partner.
"If you want to hit me, then follow the stances that I gave you, otherwise I'm just going to keep on dodging." Her partner said as he looked up and met her eyes, violet glaring at black and blue as Naruko nodded before jumping back a short distance.
"Are you ready now?" Naruko's partner questioned as she nodded in assent as she raised one foot in the air.
"Aye, Naruto-sensei." Naruko answered as Naruto nodded and created a shadow clone that ran around the girl to trap her in a pincer attack.
The real Naruto charged at Naruko, following what a normal shinobi would do as he went for a low sweep, and Naruko leaped over the kick. Naruto drew a kunai as he thrust it up towards the floating Naruko, who simply dropped one foot on top of him and pushed herself away, landing behind the other Naruto that was charging from behind. Using her advantageous position, she followed through with the second stance, and thrust her sword forwards, like a pecking bird, and was rewarded as the clone was trapped between his team mate and a sharp blade, the latter of which dug into his back not a second later.
The clone disappeared in smoke as Naruto rose from his crouch, and smiled at his apprentice. As she sheathed her sword, it made the unique sound that it produced as it struck a piece of metal; for some reason it made a animal call instead of the traditional 'clang'. The only one that it didn't produce this sound with was its brother blade, which rarely left Naruto's side.
Naruto grabbed his sister by the shoulders before bringing her in for a hug, which turned awkward when she turned her head and the two collided with a 'clonk'. Naruko let loose a string of half-curses which turned into low mumbles.
Naruto looked at his sister once again, recalling how she had started her training trying to draw out her chakra a little over a month ago. Tomorrow would be a week since she had managed to call on it and free her blade, a fact which she relished in. Afterwards, she had asked Naruto for more training which the blonde said he had already agreed to train her to his level, or at least to the point where she could protect someone, namely, herself.
After a little digging around, Naruto had found a book on the Uzumaki clan, in the History of Konoha text book that they gave to Academy students. He had 'borrowed' the book from the local library, after which, he showed Naruko, who practically snatched the book from his hands and drank the knowledge of her clan, which originated from a village called Uzushiogakure, who happened to be Konoha's biggest allies since the First Hokage was married to their clan head at the time. Their bonds were so strong that the swirl in the middle of the Konoha symbol was the Uzumaki clan symbol, something that Naruko deemed worthy of her cry of 'awesome' which had caused particles of the roof to fall into their apartment.
Soon after, he had gotten a chance to question Mikoto about Naruko's parents, which she answered by tossing him a Bingo Book, one that still had both parents in it. Naruto had thanked her by kissing her cheek, an action that caused Mikoto to blush, something that amused Sasuke and Itachi.
After handing the book to Naruko, she had began begging for sword training since her mother was considering so skilled and she wanted to prove herself as her mother's daughter. Eye smiling, Naruto had dragged her to a training field and began teaching her a stance that suited her blade. The Crane Style, a style that seemed familiar to Naruto before shaking the thought from his head. However, since there was no sword stances to fit the Taijutsu style, he had worked with Naruko to modify it to fit her uses of her two chakra natures, wind and water, neither of which she could use yet.
6 days later was where we find Naruto recalling the events of the past month. Something else they had learned was that the blades were drawn towards each other, and could detect their users emotions such as when Naruko was almost beat one day and Naruto was able to find her through his blade sensing its sister in need.
"Well, I guess we can continue this tomorrow with three, and up clone to help you get accustomed to the springy movements. Tell me, how goes progress on that jutsu?" Naruto said as he walked in front of Naruko who was stroking her blade in a soothing manner.
"I can hold it for the first two in most any circumstances, and three without my blade drawn, but what is the use in that. My legs just can't deal with the sudden impact and bounce in rapid alternations." Naruko said, hooking her blade to her side.
"What about if you use the Kyuubi's chakra in tandem with it, so that it could brace you and strengthen your bounces so you can achieve terminal velocity faster?" Naruto asked thoughtfully, as he turned around to see Naruko with a grimace on her face.
"I haven't been able to call on Kyuubi's chakra at will just yet, in fact only when I jumped off the cliff after you was I able to draw out the beast's chakra, never before and never again. I still don't know how I got it to do what I wanted, I just thought it and it obeyed. Sorry." Naruko apologized.
"It's fine." Naruto answered as the partners continued home.
-(Later That Night)-
Two figures entered Naruto's and Naruko's apartment silently as the door swung open with nary a squeak or a creak like normal, a sign that Naruto had began remodeling and fixing up the apartment. The two figures stalked quietly to the couch where Naruto slept in peace. Seeing the young blonde asleep, they began using hand seals to converse.
"Think this is the one?" The taller of the two signed.
"Most likely, he looks just like that accursed Yellow Flash." The other signed back as he removed a kunai from his pack and lifted it over Naruto's body. However, his partner grabbed his hand as quietly as possible before whispering.
"The report said that the child has the Kyuubi in it, which means that he probably isn't treated too well by the village. He's still young, so maybe we could convince him to join us, and then we could force him to breed and make more little Yellow Flashes. We would climb the ranks and be able to finally conqueror this accursed village!" He whispered, the last part becoming more of a hiss than a whisper though.
Snickering, the shinobi pulled a chakra suppression seal out of his pocket, and placed it on Naruto's back before binding his hands and legs, and placing a gag in his mouth to stop him from alerting anyone to their presence. Snickering one last time, the shinobi exited the room, his partner leading the way back to their rendezvous.
Landing in a small clearing, the two that had just kidnapped Naruto saw their partner, and team leader. Breathing heavily, the one carrying Naruto handed him over to his friend that had remained behind.
Looking at the small child, the youngest one of the four, put their opinion in, "Are we positive that this is the one that we need?" The person said, their voice commanding with a caring undertone, a female.
"Of course this is the one, look, wild yellow hair, whisker marks, and he was living in the apartment that was listed, it has to be him." One said to their team leader.
"And you checked the rest of the area for any possible witnesses?" The team leader asked with a tone that suggested you was raising an eyebrow.
"No, why should we, this kid is supposed to have the Kyuubi, who in their right mind would want to live with him? I mean we got the tip off from one of their own shinobi." The one that had carried Naruto answered as he began to walk off back to the team's village.
"Because the rule book says…" The team captain began before being interrupted.
"The rule book says, bah, you're such a goody-two shoes all the time. You think because you're a Jounin and we're only Chunnin that you can order us around, well let me tell you this. The only reason that you're a Jounin and we aren't is because you have an in with the Kage. You couldn't hope to beat us with your pitiful skills, you aren't anything more than a place for men to put their cum and the only thing you're good for is sucking cock!" The last one said in a mockery of her voice, before ranting in his regular tone which made him sound all nasally.
"Humph, fine then, let's get back to the village, I'm ready to be home." The captain ordered, taking the lead so that none of the three men could see her grit her teeth.
"Just you wait, one day a woman is going to attack you and put you three in your place, and I can only pray to Kami that I'm their to see it happen." The captain thought as she continued leading her team away from Konoha at a rather sedated pace.
-(With Naruko)-
Naruko awoke to the sound of her sword humming in its place beside her bed. Grasping the grip as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, she was treated to a flash of Naruto thrown over a man's shoulder as a group of four walked through the trees along a trading road that she recognized from being chased from Konoha occasionally before Naruto showed up.
Gasping, she did what she knew she shouldn't do, and climbed out of bed and got dressed to pursue the group carrying her brother. As she pulled her shoes on, she grabbed her sword as it spun around in her hand to point towards the leaving kidnappers, a direction that she took off in, determined to catch up to those that took her brother.
-(With Naruto: Dream state)-
Now normally, Naruto would've been awakened by the general jostling that came with being carried, but he was currently locked in a dream state. As visions passed by him, he vaguely realized that these weren't dreams, but F. Naruto's memories.
"Nibi, they got Yugi-chan!" Naruto shouted as he flung open the massive door to Nibi's throne room, the shout echoing around the room as Nibi just met his gaze with a cool control.
"Oh, and what would you like me to do about it?" Nibi answered as she rose from her throne, a throne constructed out of bones, and flames, and as she no longer touched it, the throne dissolved into ash.
"I want you to tell me how to master my Sage training!" Naruto retorted as he continued a walk towards Nibi's throne, a walk with purpose and dignity, but a walk nonetheless.
"Oh, well, there is a way, but it is rather unpopular and a double-edged sword. In fact, I feel obligated to instead just tell you to give up on Yugito." Nibi said as Naruto paused in front of her for a second before…
SMACK
Bijuu or not, Nibi couldn't even see the open palm coming as it impacted her cheek with the resounding sound of flesh hitting flesh. Even so, she knew that her fur that covered the majority of her body was burning as hot as any hellfire she could conjure, she also knew that Naruto knew this as he restrained himself from showing the pain in front of Nibi.
"Now then, as your summoner, I command you to tell me how to quickly master my Sage Mode." Naruto hissed through gritted teeth as his skin fell away from his hand.
"Haha, I don't need to, you've already done it." Nibi said, confusing the blonde as he tilted his head before his whole world tilted as well, his cheek slamming into the floor.
"You will now become something more, my son if you will. A cat hanyou, basically, you'll be eternally stuck in your Sage Mode now. Also, you'll become a lot more cat like as per you becoming a cat. Your fangs will elongate, your ears will be replaced with cat ears, and you'll most likely sprout a tail. You might also find yourself lounging about, drawn to high places, or saying Nya. The positives are that you'll gain a sensor ability, the fur that grows will protect you from all manners of flames, and you'll become exceptionably flexible and balanced. You'll also be able to speak with my associates. Of course, there is something else I can do for you." Nibi said as she picked Naruto up who almost thanked her before she sunk her fangs into his neck.
Pulling them out as the blood poured out of the wound before forming a seal between his shoulder blades.
"That should block out my youkai in a sense, kind of like a Genjutsu. Be careful though, as long as you're in my presence, you'll be forced into your Hanyou form, but that seal will still block off your abilities, so you'll look like a demon and be powerless." Nibi finished as Naruto began squirming on the floor once again.
"NARUTO!" Sasuke yelled as he dashed towards Naruto, Sharingan blazing in its three-tomoe form.
Naruto turned as he saw the attack coming, however, he was too drained to dodge as the attack came within 5 feet of his chest.
"RAIKIRI!" was the call of the attack before Naruto found himself throw sideways, as blood splattered across his field of vision.
Naruto forced his eyes open as he saw Sasuke fall to the ground, a massive hole straight through his chest from where he had took the hit for his brother. Kakashi stood over his body, a scowl on his face as he spit on Sasuke's body.
"SASUKE!" Naruto howled as new life flooded his body as he rushed towards his brother. However, a backhand from Kakashi knocked him away as he stood between Naruto and his now dead brother's body.
"YOU KILLED HIM! Why, your orders were to bring him back to Konoha alive?" Naruto asked as he picked himself back up as his glare met Kakashi across the small distance.
"True, but they just want him for breeding stock, something that you can do. Besides, no one will ever know that I killed him, you'll be branded as a traitor and Sasuke died trying to stop you, you killed him." Kakashi said as he disappeared for a second before he was in front of Naruto, holding him up by his neck. "Because that's how it is, right. He died for you, therefore it is your fault that he is dead now, you killed him!" Kakashi admonished vehemently.
"I…killed him?" Naruto struggled to speak as his vision began to grow black, before he felt a burning fire rushing through his veins, through his chakra pathways as it flooded his eyes as he glared straight into Kakashi's eyes, who recognized this.
Jumping back, Naruto fell to the ground, but not before Kakashi caught a glimpse of his half-closed eye, which was now in a new design, the design of the Mangeyko Sharingan.
"This power, this burn, I know this feeling, Itachi-Nii-san, is this what you felt that night?" Naruto wondered aloud as he made a choice.
Kakashi's eyes widened as he flew from his place towards Naruto, hoping to stop him. Naruto's lips moved so slowly, however Kakashi just couldn't reach him in time as Naruto raise his arms, as if praising the sky and called out his attack.
"Forbidden Mangeyko Sharingan Technique: Devouring of the Sun" Naruto called out as black flames erupted from his body as seemed to consume the very sky that had begun to rain.
Naruto just gazed across the threshold at the young girl in front of him. Long blonde hair, coal black eyes that looked ready to burst into flames at any second, a slightly pudgy face suggesting a well-fed background. A simple black tee covered her upper torso, while a lavender skirt was draped over her hips and legs which were flawless in their creation. Creamy skin without a blemish, a small dainty nose that upturned slightly which made her appear to be giving a haughty expression. Overall, Naruto would rate her an 8.5, to Naruko's 10.
As she steeped forwards, Naruto put out a hand to stop her as he asked for papers and identification.
"Haha, don't you recognize me, Minato? I know that such beauty must be blinding to the lower class, but surely you can remember me, especially after the way you practically undressed me with your eyes." The girl said as Naruko came out of the nearby building where she had been getting redressed after yet another of her's and Naruto's 'secessions'.
"*sigh* I f only Kushi-chan would share, then I might be able to embed myself in that thick-skull of yours." The girl said as Naruko smirked before answering for Naruto.
"Who says I wouldn't, I just don't think you want me to." Naruko said, causing Naruto to at least have the decency to blush at the implication of another girlfriend.
The girl on the other hand, just grabbed Naruto's face before capturing his lips in a kiss, which caused his eyes to widen as she pulled away, her cheeks red, while his were probably red enough to be Hinata's blush.
"There, now then, I have to get home!" The girl said as she bypassed the stunned Naruto before shouting as she roof hopped towards the Uchiha District.
"I'm back, Konoha, Mikoto Uchiha is back!" She shouted as Naruto's blushed made a new color of red.
"Well, techniquelly, it isn't incest until she has you, then it's just awkward." Naruko retorted as she pulled Naruto back into the hut.
Naruto pulled his sword out of yet another body as more surrounded him. Holding his sword with one hand, one made a set of one-handed seals before breathing fire all over the group of strange men who simply dissolved into white piles of sludge.
Sighing, he shushinned back to the camp to take a nap. Appearing in a swirling of metallic shards, he immediately flopped down on a bed.
-(5 Hours Later)-
Naruto awoke with a yawn as he pulled himself to his feet and exited the tent before preparing to jump back into battle.
However, just before he finished channeling the chakra, a man ran into the camp yelling, "Wait, it's over, the war is over, Tsunade-sama is down!" The man shouted as people began dropping weapons.
Turning around with disgust, Naruto used chakra to project his voice over the whole encampment.
"Shut up, the enemy won't care if we forfeit or not, and I'm certainly not giving up. Did you forget why we're in this war, Naruko, Yugi-chan, Temari-chan's brother, all of them didn't ask for this burden but they bore it all the same. My brothers are out there fighting for their wife's brother, and to repay his debts, and I'm going to join them whether you do or don't!" Naruto shouted as returned to pulling the chakra to go to battle.
However, as he left, he heard a cry go up among the people. "Follow the Seventh, to battle or death, he goes, and we shall follow!"
"I just don't understand why you're so defensive of him." The blonde in front of him said, shrugging her shoulders.
"Now, Samui, you don't understand." Yugito tried to say before Samui turned a threw up a hand as if she was stating the obvious.
"I think I do understand, you're having an affair if a emo, traitorous, and generally rude boy who has done nothing but hurt you. Why else would you defend him?" Samui said before a blip of chakra appear in the small clearing.
"Because he is my brother, that's why!"
"I will tell you the truth, Itachi murdered the Uchiha clan as an S-class mission. The Uchiha clan planned to overthrow the Leaf, and Itachi was more loyal to his village than to his family. He was their spy before he volunteered to kill them all to stop them from causing a civil war. And how did the village repay him? By declaring him a S-class Nuke-nin and running him out of the village." The masked man said to the Uchiha brothers.
"I would like to view my brother." Naruto requested as Sasuke contemplated the revelation.
"Of course, but what can you hope to get from the body now, his eyes are gone, and he's dead." Tobi asked.
"Maybe you didn't get the memo, I asked to see my brother, not his body." Naruto said as he left to see Itachi's body.
He found him laying on a slab, as lifeless as the many people who had fought against Naruto.
Throwing his body of his shoulder, Naruto walked back into the room. Walking towards a wall, Naruto snapped his fingers as a swirling portal appeared in front of him.
"See yah, Tobi. Oh, and next time you try to turn us against the Leaf, don't bother. Also, just for the record, I already knew about the mission, after all, I was the one who killed Tou-san." Naruto informed the masked man as he walked through the portal, Itachi thrown over his shoulder, with Sasuke rushing after him.
Naruto's eyes fluttered as he heard the whispered cry of, "He's my brother!" Forcing his eyes to open wider and his ears to detect sound, Naruto rolled sideways off the tree he was propped up against. As his eyes opened, he saw the shadowed figure of someone standing over him, but the moon peeked out from behind a cloud just long enough for him to catch a glimpse of her long dark hair.
-(Several Minutes Earlier: With Naruko)-
Naruko could hear the mildly silent footfalls of the group she was in pursuit of as she landed behind them in a medium clearing. As the group turned around, Naruko took in each one in their turn as three of them tensed up, and one handed the bundle over his shoulder to the only loose one. Judging from their stances, these were Chunnin, while the one now holding Naruto was a possible Jounin. She had learned from Naruto that a loose stance is better suited for high-speeds and quick reactions since your body could absorb the impacts better.
"Who are you, and why are you chasing us?" One of the battle ready ones asked as he stepped in front of the other two.
"Well, I couldn't very well let you take my roommate and friend." Naruko answered as she shifted slightly so as to grab her sword if necessary.
"Ha, friend, nice try, but we know the truth. No one would honestly want to be friends with a demon like him." The one on the left said as Naruko could envision a slimy man with dirty hair and cuts all over his face.
"What do you mean?" Naruko asked as rage began seeping out from her soul.
"Oh, you don't know, well, I guess that since your about to die, you should know who, or rather what, you're about to die for. This brat is the container for the Kyuubi, a murder that attacked your village. No one would want to be friends with a demon brat such as this, and we will do just what you asked us to and take the problem off your hands. After all, a demon child doesn't deserve to continue living, don't you agree?" The center one informed Naruko as the small rage and indignation billowed up and out.
"Shut up, I refuse to let you take him, he's not a demon and he certainly doesn't deserve to die!" Naruko yelled as the one on the right 'humph'ed before the three ran towards her, surrounding the girl.
"Why would a cock sucking whore like you try and beat three trained shinobi just for a boy?" The one from the right asked as the moon peeked out from behind a cloud, providing the light for the coming battle.
"BECAUSE HE IS MY BROTHER!" Naruko yelled before whipping her sword out and charging at one of the men, her eyes glowing a crimson red the same shade as her hair.
"Brother? Kuso, he had two kids, and from the way she's handling that blade, I'd say she has some degree of training with it, but…" The center one said as he pulled out a kunai and stopped Naruko's blade before kicking her back into the circle.
"We'll beat her and bring her in for breeding!" The left one said as he charged towards Naruko before being stopped by the impromptu leader of the trio.
"No, keep her surrounded. You, go back to the village and drop off the other brat and bring back reinforcements!" The center man yelled, not turning around. Not hearing an affirmation, he turn back with a glare only for the girl to return the glare with enough KI to make the man sweat.
"No, I don't take orders from you, and if she is the child of the Yellow Flash, then I doubt that Konoha doesn't know where she is right now, they could be waiting in the bushes to take down all of you the minute I leave, so I'm waiting right here." The girl said as she sat down next to Naruto, who noticed that she was grinning at the prospect of disobeying the man.
"So, you are the team leader I take it?" Naruto said keeping his voice level to mask any fear at the situation.
The girl jumped before turning to Naruto and glared, "What makes you say that, if I was the team leader then why don't I just take you back to my village." The girl said, her glaring seemingly unaffecting Naruto.
"Because if you did that, it would show deference to that man over their fighting my sister, and you don't seem to have one hint of respect for him. My guess that you are the team leader is because otherwise you would have some respect for him being your commanding officer, but you don't so more than likely, he and his friends are a high-ranking squad that you were placed in charge of." Naruto quoted his observations as if a child should've noticed them.
The girl tensed before both parties turned back t the fight as Naruko erupted in a vile red chakra which enveloped her as her rage took the wheel.
Rocketing forwards, she brought her blade down as the shinobi blocked it, her blade making its strange cry of "Sqwa!", her reactions were finely tuned though as she absorbed the impact and placed her feet on the blade before shooting off towards another of the trio.
"They've lost now." Naruto said, closing his eyes as he listened to the sounds of Naruko's battle.
"How can you be so sure, I may not respect them, but I know of their strengths, and I seriously doubt that a child can beat them now, after being worn down after such a battle and chase." The girl said, her clothes shifting as she turned to Naruto.
"Because I helped her fine tune that move into an exact science, the only problem is that she can't properly absorb the impacts into her legs, so she slows herself down the her blade. After which, she launches off from her opponent towards another one, keeping herself moving at a high speed except when striking, and they can't move or else she'll rip right through them now that she's got her speed." Naruto answered as he held up a hand, counting down with his fingers. The girl didn't seem to notice that his hands should've been bound.
As if on cue, the man on the left suddenly had a long, deep, red gash carved into his midsection from where Naruko had sliced through him when his guard fell after the repeated hits.
The other one quickly followed as his teammate abandoned him and ran towards the girl, who had wide eyes at the sudden turn around. Still, she felt a small degree of respect for the girl for killing two of her hecklers. She still had enough sense to notice that the man had grabbed Naruto and picked him up, holding a kunai to his jugular in a threat.
The thought of him killing a child, sickened her as she pulled a kunai out of her pack and stabbed the man in the shoulder, causing him to drop Naruto who whirled around in surprise at the sudden betrayal. His momentary distraction didn't last however as the man lunged at the child, who simply rolled to the side, grabbing the kunai in his back in the same motion as he spun on his heel drove the blade into the man's neck, effectively ending his life.
"You, bit…" The man started before interrupting himself with the blood welling in his throat. "I…hope that… he was worth it, you trai…torous girl, what...would you gra…ndfath…er think of you now, saving…his worst enemy's son?" The man managed to choke out before his body fell still and tumbled to the ground.
The sound of a falling body caused Naruko to turn her attention to the pair and noticing the extra person, rushed towards her with her bloody sword already in motion. However, Naruto took the blow as he stepped in front of the girl, protecting her from his sister, who simply kept swinging her sword.
Naruto stepped forwards, grabbing the girl in a hug which limited her movements as he brought his lips to her forehead, kissing it as she seemed to calm down. So calmed down in fact, that she fell forwards into his arms, asleep. Naruto turned to address the girl, only for him to meet an empty forest path, as she had managed to disappear into the night.
A/N: Well, after many days of hard work, I finally finished this chapter of 'The Forgotten Uchiha" and it's a doozy I think, maybe it isn't to you, but I certainly don't remember working this hard on any of the other chapters. Anyways, school has started back up, so my update schedule is messed up currently, I have Spanish projects to finish, college work, SAT preparations, and I'm just so overloaded right now that I don't know when I'll get to upload again. Have a good day.
