(Cue: Bring Me the Horizon-Can You Feel my Heart Sonic Area Remix) The ground was stationary but everything was spinning. Several silhouettes stood in a circle, arms crossed with their backs to the center of the ring they made. At the center, stood a smaller group of silhouetted figures. And she knew that each one represented the leaders of the nations and their respective hidden village. She was staring at each individual figure as they passed her by in their spinning.
Slowly, the spinning stopped and she was staring face to face with one familiar silhouette. "...Gaara..." Out of the shadows stepped her baby brother, a blank expression on his face, "Can you hear the silence?" She was then in front of-"...Fuu...?!" The young woman's eyes were insectoid and, in some strange way, appealing in that regard. "Can you see the dark?"
Yagura was the next one to be spoken to, his shell-like armor that grew from his arms and legs was cracked and falling apart. "Can you fix the broken?" Utakata rose his voice now, "Can you feel-Can you feel my heart?!" Suddenly, fighting ensued. A war was being fought before her eyes with everybody she knew dying horribly.
The next person she saw was Amaru, "Can you heal the helpless while I'm banging on my knees?!" That revealed a terrified Reibi jinchuuriki banging her fists on her knees at the side of a corpse that looked like-"UMARA!" Amaru's tears made her look to the shinobi's hitae-ate to see it was Soragakure's insignia.
Naruto appeared next to her, his eyes slitted and redder than ever as he sent her flying at a mountain. "CAN YOU SAVE MY BASTARD SOUL?!" Temari's eyes widened as she hit the mountain when Naruto appeared standing above her with his smile that sent chills running up her spine. He leaned down to her ear, making her eyes widen as faces flashed before her eyes. "...will you wait for me...?" Her eyes shot open. (Uncue music)
Waking world, Temari's room
(Cue: Iyaz-Replay) She awoke with a gasp and shot up, waking a now perturbed fox that had decided to sleep on her. (Not in that way-Well, yes-but not at the moment) Her bedmate, a single tailed Naruto-fox, gekkered at her for waking him up before she took a few calming breathes before stroking his fur like he was a house pet or like this wasn't unheard of for the two of them. "Sorry, Uzumaki-kun, I just had a..." He looked to her innocently with those canine-yet-feline eyes that just melted down her defenses as she hesitated.
"Really, bad dream." Her eyes kept averting from his adorable stare as her bangs hid her eyes from his gaze. To combat her hesitance, he rose up with a feline stretch, making her groan as his claws sank into her tender flesh, before he crawled up her form from her stomach to place a paw at her heart while resting his brow upon hers. Eyes closed, she placed her forehead to his, allowing her to transmit her thoughts directly into his mind. You tried to kill me, and you held nothing back. It's really unnerving having a killer laying on my stomach, you know?
If it were possible, Temari was sure a cheeky smirk was on Naruto's vulpine face. Phrasing, my dear Temari, phrasing. We don't want the children to hear us, now do we? She pulled back to look him in the eye as she mumbled, "Now who's talking dirty?" Fox purring was her only response as her bedmate started rubbing his face against hers, opting to act more domesticated for the moment or until the better opportunity to cause trouble arose. Still you, Mari-chan, and that ain't gonna change. You can't win an argument with this kitsune, no ser-ee!
Deciding to change the topic before the fox started flirting, Temari asked, "Why'd Flat Chest No-More call you 'Lover', Uzumaki-kun? You've been sneaking yourself into my sleeping bag and now bed for the past few months after training started, so I'm pretty sure I've a right to know what's between you and that chick." The fox purring became louder, almost forceful in nature, as he rubbed his face more against her in a succeeding attempt to interrupt her every now and then. Does it really matter, Mari-chan? I mean it's just Fuu being playful, after all.
That made her forego the baby mittens, "If you want to keep sleeping with me, you're going to have to pay up, Fucker. So what'll it be: the floor or answers?" She said this with her arms crossed and a serious look on her face while Naruto whined with his Koinu Me no Jutsu at full power, causing Temari to raise her hand in front of her face as she looked away to resist those pleading, lovable orbs of innocent mischief. "It's either answers or the floor, Fucker, so choose one now before I do."
He whined one, last time in defeat as he yawned and padded in a circle before curling into a ball on her chest, making her lay back down as he pressed his forehead to hers. Fuu and I were friends with benefits during the three years I was away with Ero-Sennin... Several thuds were heard on the other side of the wall at the head of the bed in the moonlight, making them separate their heads from the other's and look to the wall questioningly like they'd be able to see through it before deciding that they weren't worried about it for the time being.
"So," Temari said slowly, processing everything. "You and the bitch from Taki are fuck-buddies...Okay then, you can stay on the bed." He barked happily with his tail wagging energetically as he got up and started licking her face in a show of gratitude, making her laugh lightly at the sandpaper-like tongue of the fox in her bed. "Cut it-hahahaha-cut it out!" You look nice with your hair down, Mari-chan, why don't you wear it down more? His thoughts heard, he slowly and reluctantly stopped the 'tongue-lashing'.
"Because," She said after catching her breath from the laughter. "I like having my hair up like-" Butterflies! Getting a look of confusion and desire for him to continue, he explained. When we first met and I didn't care what your name was, A crooked grin crawled along her lips at that comment as she started planning how to hurt him. I called you 'Butterfly-Locks' 'cause of your butterfly wings-like hairstyle. He then padded in a circle before curling up into a ball on her chest, making her smile at how cute and innocent he seemed. I can hear you both, you know?! Ino's projected thoughts made them look to the wall once more, Floozy/Ino-chan?
On the other side of the wall was one irate Yamanaka Ino with some of the other girls with her in her room, deciding that they wanted to chat while they had the chance. NO! IT'S THE YONDAIME, OF COURSE IT'S ME! I've heard all of your mental chatter and now the rest of us girls know what you two've been up to for the past few months...! Suddenly, the sound of squealing and girly-giggling was heard on Ino's side of the wall, making Naruto return to resting while Temari just kept staring at the wall like she'd be able to see through it.
In Ino's room, some of Naruto's foxes had somehow snuck in and were tickling Hinata, Sakura, Tenten, the 'smuggled' Isaribi and herself. "Stop i-hahahaha-it! Please, hahahahahah, Sensei!" (I know that seems a little bit too soft for Naruto's personality, but he doesn't wanna kill his friends. He's a protector an' a father, so he's just gonna teach them a lesson they'll never forget while nothin' dangerous) His foster-daughter's pleas fell on deaf ears as he kept rubbing his furry face into her neck, armpits, stomach and feet which made her laugh even harder. Ino, Tenten, Sakura and Hinata were no better as their giggling and squealing got so loud that the others from Konoha were woken up. "It's always fun seeing you squirm, Bitch!" Inner's words would have been dignified with a coherent answer, had a fox not decided to use it's tail instead of its face, making Sakura laugh even harder.
Inu got his earplugs out with a sigh and a tired expression on his half-masked face. "What's so damn funny?!" Anko growled, her eyes closed as she tried to get back to sleep with no success. Kiba, Akamaru, Shino and his insects were all wide awake, sleep just out of their reach when Shino came up with the only method that made sense, "We're going to have to knock each other out then." Nodding, Akamaru and Kiba hit Shino since he was tougher to send into unconsciousness before doing the same to each other with content looks on their faces.
Gai and Lee were exercising themselves to unconsciousness like every night. Neji was using his Byakugan to see what was going on and all it did was irritate him more before he took the Lotus Position and shut everything out, sending himself into a restful reverie-state of sorts. Shikamaru only muttered a quiet 'mendokusei' before going back to sleep while Choji pulled out two earplugs, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face as he plugged them in. Sai was silent as he painted, waiting patiently for the noise to go silent before he could go to sleep. Yamato was right now dealing with one of Naruto's clones that had slipped into sleep while it was trying to kill him with a Rasengan. Tsunade, Tonton and Shizune were sharing a room and were right now grimacing frustratingly at the noise, planning the demise of each of those who'd decided sleep was for the weak.
Jiraiya was at the moment trying to seduce women in the lobby, so he didn't care. Naruto then got up, off of Temari's chest and scampered away before transforming as he came back, a strange piece of armory in his hand. He sat at the foot of the bed, a nostalgic smile on his face as he let the moonlight shine onto the mismatched-materials clawed glove. "...Uzukaze..." She looked to the object and then saw the swirl in the middle of the palm and at the center of the back of the hand, "...'Eddy Wind'? Why do you call it that?"
"He, not it, he. When I make weaponry, I give it my all and more, making it apart of me and I apart of it. And in a way, each of my creations has a mind of its own. Uzukaze's power is to generate tornadoes and whirlpools, hence the 'eddy' part of the name. When I first made him, I had no idea what to expect because I'd never used him before, but I knew he was special. To give him his power to create tornadoes, whirlwinds, eddies, whirlpools and the like, he needed a basis for him to know what those even look like. I'd no intention to give him the power he has, but I don't regret it. I was still relatively new at using seals..."
Flashback: Three years and four months ago
A younger Naruto and Jiraiya were walking along an old dirt trail, both feeling tired and hungry. "Ero-Sennin?" He only received a resigned 'hn' of acknowledgement as he stared ahead. "Why are you always trying to get laid? I mean, I understand that sex's nice and all, but it's like you don't...Oh you've gotta be kidding me! You're a-?!"
Jiraiya clapped his hand over Naruto's mouth as he stared at his student irritably, "That's none of your business!" Naruto started emitting a baby whine-like noise of amusement that foxes did when happy. The Toad Sannin, although staring ahead, would give sideways glowers at his student. He started making 'nark'-like noises, as if making snarky comments to rub it in. If it were possible, Jiraiya would say Naruto had an ecstatically- wagging tail behind him as he smirked knowingly at his teacher.
"Hey, Ero-Sennin, where are we heading anyway? I know I'm still working at disrupting Genjutsu and how to make my own Rasengan since that connects to it, but is there a Genjutsu master we're gonna meet or something?" Barking laughter was the Super Pervert's response before he caught his breath and answered with hearty tears in his eyes. "Ahhh, we're heading to a village where the forest's trees generate a magnetic field and create a Genjutsu of sorts. It's not unheard of that you haven't heard of it, considering the villagers aren't known to leave the village often and that few outsiders are able to get through it since it's not like any other Genjutsu."
"How's it different?" The young Kitsunin asked with his eyes squinted in confusion. "The magnetic field doesn't just affect the chakra in your mind, it affects your natural senses too, making it extremely hard to dispel. Normally, I'd have you practice with Gamariki-san, but since your chakra control's basically only focused on Ninjutsu and Youki Control, I'm betting that the trees will make it both harder and easier to deal with. Plus, you can't really knock trees out, now can you?! Hahaha!" Naruto started making the happy-whine noise at the idea of knocking a tree unconscious, as impossible as that was.
Suddenly, a fog surrounded them with a light buzzing in the air. "I'll take it this is the place, then?" Although Naruto couldn't see his teacher all that well, he knew he was right in his assumption when he heard Jiraiya grunt in affirmation. "Yeah, there's a path. This is where we use those fabled tracking skills you won't shut up about." "WHA?! YOU DRAG ME OUT HERE SAYING YOU'LL TRAIN ME JUST TO STUFF MY NOSE IN THE DIRT?!" A silence was the answer he was given as Ero-Sennin punched him over the head, knocking the fox-boy to the ground.
"Pretty much." Naruto fox-growled at the older man, his eyes turning slitted while he sniffed the ground and started transforming. He shook himself, a chill running down his spine, making his human qualities seem to shred and reveal a three-tailed fox. Jiraiya knelt next to his kitsune-hearted student, "Got the village's scent yet?" Growling, Naruto thwacked his teacher in the head with one of his tails. "Alright, I deserve that for shoving your face in the dirt, but do you have the scent?" A bark was his answer before the fox loped ahead for a few meters before yarping in surprise and mild pain, making Jiraiya chuckle knowingly.
Coming up on his student, whom he found on the ground with tears in his eyes as he twitched in pain at the large swelling on top of his head. "Karma's a bitch, huh?" That's when Naruto rose and leaped at the stronger shinobi, before he was hit head-on by a ball of strong smelling gas. Naruto's eyes watered and his nose started dripping at the strength of the gas, whimpering pitifully. "Yeap, Togarashi Bakudan have quite the kick. You okay, Naruto? More importantly, why's a wall here?" Whimpering was all he received as an answer until a voice called down to them, "HIT THE ROAD OR I'LL BE FORCED TO SHOOT!" Looking up, Jiraiya saw-"Tanishi?! What's going on to have a wall around the village?!" All he got was a chilli pepper bomb to the head.
"If you don't leave, the others will be hurt, so LEAVE!" A few more bombs were shot, making Naruto yowl in nose-related pain which forced Jiraiya to cover his muzzle as he carried the distressed vulpine away before the voices of others were heard. "...Damn, this isn't going at all how I'd planned it out. Looks like we're going to need those foxy skills of yours to get into the village. Eh...?" Naruto only whimpered as his eyes and nose dripped from the strength of the bombs' gas.
In the village
Tanishi closed the door to his house, only for a large fox to land on him, snarling at him with angry, blood-red, slitted eyes that promised torture if he didn't stay quiet. The village boy quivered underneath the twin-tailed beast, terror in his eyes as he resisted the instinct to scream in fright. "Go easy on him, Naruto, we don't wanna rouse the whole village's attention." Naruto didn't stop snarling quietly, his hormones and prisoner egging him on to make the impudent brat pay for what he'd done back at the wall.
"Naruto!" Finally looking to Jiraiya, he saw the stern face he wore, making his snarling wane before he just stopped. Picking the boy up by the collar of his shirt in his mouth, Naruto sat him down in front of his teacher with an irate and on-edge look on his furred face as he growled lowly at the walls like there were people there. But the interesting thing was, there were. "Why'd you have to scare my son?!" The large fox growled at him, his voice being heard as words.
"Fine, I'll tell you what you want to know about our village and the men who took it over, but don't hurt my son." Naruto nodded, sitting down next to his teacher with his mouth closed and his ears picking everything he needed up from both conversations. "Kandachi is the man who's taken control of our village, and not only that, he's Hanzo of the Salamander's righthand man. If you have even a shred of humanity left in you, Fox Trotter, then you will kill him." Naruto's happy whining ensued, deeper and quieter as well as happier than before at the idea of bloodshed.
Tanishi was bowing in desperation after explaining what he knew to Jiraiya and the fox-that-he-was-certain-was-a-kitsune, "Please just leave. If you leave no one's going to get hurt..." Naruto transformed back to normal, his slitted eyes and broad whisker-marks making him an intimidating person indeed. He growled at the boy as he said, "So you'd throw aside everything your father did to protect this village just 'cause it's hard...No surprise, considering how old you are, Runt!"
"My father died a fool, prote-" Naruto's growling stopped him as a dark aura enveloped him. "Don't badmouth your father...He was thousands of times the man you think yourself to be! I've run into plenty of idiots who think themselves greater than others 'cause their father's dad and all that shit, but you're not getting any pity from me. I just spoke to the wandering spirit that is your father, and he's a good man, so don't you dare disrespect his memory or," He grabbed the boy by the collar of his shirt as he brought him to eye-level, "I'll end you...!" Dropping the boy on his ass ungracefully, he dropped the heel of his combat boot on his head hard, knocking him out as he looked to his teacher with a blank expression on his face.
"Let's go. It turns out that Kandachi's the head honcho behind the take over of the village and we should be careful around here." Jiraiya nodded as he painted a tag with some seals and got some rope ready to be tied. Naruto, noticing the seals on the tag, transformed into his four-tailed form, seeing as they wanted to be convincing. Tying Naruto's legs, tails and muzzle with the rope, the Gama Sannin henged into Tanishi as he picked the large fox up fireman style. "You could learn to gain some weight there, pal, 'cause you're lighter than a beast your size should be." His only response was a menacing growl from the kitsune on his shoulders.
The duo slipped to the gates quietly before 'Tanishi' groaned in effort to carry the 'heavy' beast on his shoulders. "Hey! I found this thing in the woods, what are we gonna do with it?!" Slipping, Tanishi felt to the ground facefirst before he caught himself and shifted the large fox to his upper back and slouched his way forward until a man ran over and knelt down to look at the beast Tanishi had snagged.
Catching sight of the four tails, the man beamed proudly as he grabbed the boy's head and ruffled his hair while saying loudly, "Tanishi, you genius-minded, little brat, you've caught yourself and all of us a kitsune! And a descent powered one too, no less. Four tails, wow, who knew these even came out this far into the forest. I know that there are demons and spirits in the forest, but I never thought that there'd be four tailed kitsune out here, since they're always in more secluded areas to avoid people as much as possible unless it's for learning. Man, when was the last time someone brought in a kitsune...?"
Tanishi groaned again, "Maybe sometime before I fall on my face, possibly?!" Breaking from his nostalgia, the man lightened the boy's load when he realized-"This beast's underfed. Poor thing's probably starving, considering the lack of game recently since Kandachi-sama and his men came and took over our peaceful village. We should feed this one or it's not gonna make it." Nodding, the group entered the village and found some old meat to feed their guest.
Laying the beast down on the ground near the lake, one of the men brought out an old and sickly pig. "This should fill his, or her, stomach long enough for Kandachi-sama to make use of it." Nodding, the man who'd carried the kitsune snapped the pig's neck, rousing the large fox from hunger-induced sleep. Slowly, the fox opened its red eyes, exhaustion evident before it realized what was around it, eliciting struggles until its stomach growled and it saw the pig. "Here," Carrierman, as Naruto had nothing else to call him, said as he offered the pig to him. "Eat this, it'll stop the hurting."
Doing as he was told, Naruto started eating the dead pig with slow gusto at the horrid taste until the growling increased, making him eat it like the ravenous beast he was. Once he finished eating the pig, he looked to the lake and felt the presence beneath it, getting him to struggle even more furiously. "KANDACHI-SAMA, WE'VE CAUGHT SOMETHING FOR YOU!" Out of the water came seven masked shinobi, each bearing the insignia of Amegakure no Sato.
One of them removed his mask to reveal a man who had seen many battles and won each one of them. On the upper righthand side of his face was a blotch of bruise-purple colored facepaint. He had a grin on his face that seriously pissed off the last Uzumaki. "What have you brought me that's of-" One look at the large fox as it thrashed and he was near speechless. "Is that a...Four tailed kitsune?!" Tanishi nodded, a nervous look on his face at close proximity to a dangerous shinobi.
"Yes it is, Tanishi was the one to capture it and we humbly present you with this powerful creature in hopes that you will spare us and our families." Naruto yowled in protest before biting into the man's leg, making him scream in pain and cause the Ame shinobi to restrain their prize. Kneeling down to look into the eyes of the muzzled beast, Kandachi said, "You're going to make a lot of doors open, you just don't know it yet..."
Naruto and Jiraiya smirked inwardly until they heard the one voice they didn't want to. "WAIT! THAT'S NOT ME IT'S SOME IDIOT IMPOSTOR! Besides, shouldn't we eat that thing?!" Tanishi's words made Kyuubi and Naruto's eyes shrink in fear, no one wanted to be eaten after all, and got Jiraiya to release his henge.
"Damn it. We were so close...Ah well, can't go crying over spilled milk then." Naruto reacted instantly, breaking his binds and launching himself at Kandachi's throat, hungry for a human corpse. Suddenly, a whirlpool appeared underneath his paws, making him slide into its center where he stood unevenly. Out of the water, came a gigantic conch shell with two horns protruding from the top of its shell. "Now that's a beast!" Jiraiya's words were heard by a now droopy-eared Naruto-fox, who had a cloud of depression over his head.
Transforming quickly, a seal formula appeared in his palm before it spread up his arm. He then slammed his hand down onto the center of the whirlpool, sucking its energy motion into his makeshift clawed glove. A swirl began to form in the pal of its hand and at the back of the hand while the materials fused and made one wierdass piece of armory! Giving the man on the conch a shiteating grin, he made a couple kage bunshin that began to form a large Rasengan in the original's hand.
Everyone was frozen stiff as the ball became twice the size of Naruto's head while he ran at the conch's opened mouth-like entrance, which gave him the opening he needed. "OODAMA RASENGAN!" Just as he entered the Conch King's maw, it closed behind him like a doorway, silencing him until the sound of him saying the word 'yow' to the tune of Nyan Cat and shredding shell was heard. On the other side of the conch appeared Naruto who then ended up on the water's surface, where he started spinning around on the orb of constantly spinning chakra.
At that moment, Jiraiya pulled out a video camera and started recording Naruto's spinning. "Around and around he goes! Where he stops, nobody knows!" The orb of chakra then exploded and imploded all at once, sending Naruto flying at Kandachi with speed no shinobi could match from a dead stop in a second. Hitting the bastard in the head so hard he snapped his neck, Naruto kept flying onward, making Jiraiya say, "AND IT'S GOING! GOING!...GOOOONNNNNEEEEE!" And with that, Naruto was just a twinkle in the sky...
Flashback end
Temari stared at him as he stood at the window, gazing at the moon like it held all the answers to the world. "To this day, I'm able to use Oodama Rasengan and have used Uzukaze in many of my escapades. I didn't ask for his help during your training 'cause, well let's be honest, he'd have killed all of you." He said this with a soft, warmhearted smile that left Temari a frightened mess. Blue, vertical lines were on her forehead while her eyes seemed so wide that there was only white.
"He and I've been through a lot these past three years, plenty to form a bond as strong as my other weapons..." He looked to his creation with tears at the edges of his eyes before he turned his teary, blue, slitted eyes to his bedmate. "And I'd like you to have him." That one sentence caught Gaara's older sister completely by surprise as she froze in even more shock. It was at this moment that she realized that a guy was looking at her with her in only a tanktop and panties, making her blush as she brought the blankets up to her chest while Naruto happy whined amusedly with a soft and toothy smirk gracing his lips.
"I know this seems a bit sudden and unconventional, but I don't know any other way..." On the other side of the wall at the head of the bed was an empty room where the foxes and girls had been not three minutes ago. The bedmates didn't catch on of course, too caught up in their conversation, but on the other side of the door were the mentioned noisemakers and gossipers. They'd only gotten to the door for eavesdropping a minute ago and had heard the 'sudden and unconventional' bit of the conversation, making all of them blush in shock, excitement and hints of misguided jealousy. Naruto's foxes had already forgotten about their creator's orders and reasons, so they were feeling kind of left out and neglected with the door in the way.
One of them went to scratch at the door until Ino pulled him into her arms, wrapping her fingers around his muzzle to keep him quiet long enough for them to hear Temari's reaction to their favorite kitsune-hearted bastard's 'proposal'. Inside the room, Temari was quieter than a church during prayer-time. (I've been to a church durin' that time, it's pretty fuckin' quiet when I went there) It took a moment for it to sink in, but after it did she reached out and took the glove from Naruto's outstretched hands.
"Are you sure? I-I wouldn't want you to have second thoughts or have me break it-him-I mean him." All she got was a simple, kind nod from a slightly teary-eyed Uzumaki Naruto. After his nod, she said, "Let's see if this son of a bitch fits." That made the girls and foxes blush even more and snicker conspiratorially, the girls leaning more into the door with cups to their ears and the foxes doing the same with tails wagging spastically. Their snickering made Naruto's pointed ears twitch before he dismissed it and held the glove open with youki-diluted-into-chakra flowing in the piece of mismatch-materialed armor in case it needed to be adjusted in size.
Tentatively, Temari slipped her hand into the glove as it seemed to engulf her hand like a second skin, making her freeze up and 'eep' quietly. Her eventual-Jonin companion smirked kindly at her reaction before saying soothingly, "Let your chakra flow through him, into him and give him a chance to get used to you." She nodded and got out of bed, unknowingly giving Naruto a perfect view of her sweet ass and fine legs. Taking position in the middle of the room, she coursed her chakra into the semi-sentient glove she wore which created a small twister in her palm before she directed her palm towards the door, not wanting to wake anyone up if the wind picked up and broke something. (It's either the door, the walls with people on the other side, the floor/ceiling with people there too or the windows. Either way, someone might be woken up but hotel doors are harder to break let alone unhinge than windows or hotel walls.)
A twister escaped her palm, making her mouth open in surprise while her eyes widened in shocked excitement. Naruto looked around the room, an impressed look on his face as he nodded at the flying papers and knocking window shutters when he started clapping lightly, "Well done! Well done! You've got quite the affinity there, Mari-chan!" The sound of papers flying, shutters creaking and banging as well as the clapping created a...'vivid' image in the minds of those at the door before said wooden barrier splintered into nothing and revealed the would-be eavesdroppers. Naruto, ever tactful and flirtatious, spoke up.
"Hey girls," Those at the door looked to him in fear as his eyes glinted red for a moment. "What are you planning to do on your knees at the door I'm behind? Perhaps...-BALLS!" Before he could continue with his torture Temari slapped him once, sending him flying out the window. "SHUT UP, TEME!" Her aggressive attitude made everyone at the door inch away before she turned to them, an evil grin on her face as she cracked her knuckles and walked ever so slowly towards them."And what the fuck were you bitches doing outside my door?!"
The foxes then did the smart, and somewhat asshole-ish thing to do: they ran behind the girls and pushed them towards the pissed sandy-blonde before running past, and some over, her to leap out the window towards their creator. Temari turned from the window slowly, her eyes gleaming evilly as she created a whirlwind in her palm. "Uzukaze, watashi wa korera no bakas ni fukushu o kyoju kanosei ga aru koto o watashi ni anata no chikara o kashi!"
The whirlwind then imploded, sending all of the ladies into the walls and into unconsciousness. On the roof, Naruto was laying down with a stone mirror in his hand that he kept turning around while his other arm was behind his head. Picking up the other two objects he had, a magatama and a greatsword with two hilts side-by-side, What am I gonna call you...?
Competitors waiting room
(Cue: DanParthenis-Instinct of Battle III. Watch this guy's videos, they're awesome and I'm paraphrasin' some of what he said through the vids as dialogue) She paced, stood and sat down while wringing her hands. The roar of the audience, the stomping and clapping of applause, and the knowledge of who she'd be fighting drove her to the brink of insanity, where she right now wanted to be so the fear would stop. Naruto's words from the trip to Kiri rang in her head again, 'We all live quite a normal life. We've all lived inside a giant bubble...but at one point or another...' She looked up now, her eyes serious as she repeated what he had said, "The bubble bursts and we're shot to the ground!" A Yukinin fell to the arena floor as Amaru shot at her with a kunai launcher before dropping down to land on the woman's stomach.
"There are three choices," Naruto had said months ago. The other words floated before her eyes and passing by her ears. "Oaths...Promises...You can either lay on the ground, waiting for death and be forgotten like a coward..." His hostility was still fresh in her mind as Utakata created several Bijudamas simultaneously before firing them at Kusanin he'd been assigned to fight. "You can surrender and change sides like a pitiful selling-out turncoat...!" Those blue, slitted eyes were right before her again like the time he gave them this speech. "Or..." That devilish smirk was fresh in her mind like the day he'd spoken..."You can stand up, step forward and push your body to its limit! Pride. Solitude. Revenge. Greed! POwer! LOVe! PROTect! LIBERTy! DREAMS! JUSTICE! REDEMPTION! Whichever drives you the most, take it and burn it into the inferno of your soul, 'CAUSE WE AIN'T WALKING OUT AT THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE AND ALL OF YOU AIN'T LEAVING 'TIL THE JOB'S DONE!"
"'You always have a choice...'" She whispered through joyful and somewhat scared tears. "'Hunted...or Hunter?!" Gaara ran across the arena, his body being engulfed in sand until he was a miniature Shukaku running on all fours with bloodlust in his eye. Fuu kicked one of her opponents in the groin and sent him flying into the air, where she appeared and slammed the back of her heel into the guys stomach as they rocketed to the ground when two swords formed in her hands from the dust her beetles created as she flew passed her enemies and stood still until they fell as a heap of flesh. Kiba, Akamaru and Shino were working in a tag-team battle, spinning through the competition and eating away their chakra.
Tenten slashed through the bombs thrown her way by the Soranin she was fighting, an aura surrounding her as she held the sword in her right hand in a reverse grip while the left hand held it properly. "Are..." Temari stood up, eyes focused and fists clenched as the tears dried up. "You..." She grabbed her fan until her eyes befell the weapon-like armor she wore with surprise. "Ready...!" It tightened around her hand, as if reassuring her and telling her they'd be alright-Kaa-san. "To experience Hell!" Her eyes widened at that, "You can talk?!"
"And fight against all odds! Get stronger and live on," I've always been able to talk, Kaa-san, you just haven't heard me. Her stare became even more confused before she smiled at the child-like endearment spoken towards her, "I think I like the sound of that name..." Naruto's words stopped ringing with the words, 'To tell your tale. It's your choice...' Tou-san said it once when you were training, did you know that you need to work on your form, Kaa-san?
(Uncue music. Cue: Rise Against-Savior/My Darkest Days-Save Yourself/Rihanna-Disturbia) Her left arm was then holding her right, the arm and hand that wore the being who called her mother, as she looked to the right awkwardly. "Not until now...Anyway, our fight's up next, so try to keep the chatter down, we don't want to give away that you're alive and I need to stay focused as much as possible. Okay, baby?" Wait, why did I call him that? Naruto's voice once more spoke to her, this time in real time. He's absorbed your chakra so that he could bond with you and assist you in combat. Also, since I made him I'm basically his dad and now that he has feminine chakra fused with his very being, you're his mother in a sense. And now that your chakra flows through him, he's also somewhat bonded to you in more ways than just power. His energy is now fused with yours and I'm guessing your subconscious mistook that for being a mother.
I hear Tous-san. Temari looked even more awkward-feeling, You do realize that your logic isn't very dependable right, Uzumaki-kun? Naruto's mental voice was silent for a moment until the sound of the announcer calling out the next fight, "TEMARI VS. HANAKERO TAYUYA!" We'll figure this out later, right now I've got a fight to win. The silence that followed was broken by Naruto, for the last time, Funny you should mention that, Mari-chan, hehehe!
She walked out of the competitors waiting room and beheld a sight she didn't exactly want to see. Tayuya was standing there in Stage 2 of her Cursed Seal with her Doki summoned and her flute grew into a sword. "Never thought I'd have to use this technique, but I clearly should've used it back in the forest, eh?!""HAJIME!" "WAIT, WHAT?! I JUST GOT OUT HER-!" Tayuya appeared in front of the shocked-with-blue-lines-on-her-forehead blonde and slashed at her with her katana-flute, making Temari raise her fan up in natural, reflexive instinct. All of a sudden, Uzukaze began to glow a sunbeam-bright light, "WHA?!" The entire crowds' roars were heard the whole world over when the light faded, revealing the glove on her right hand to be now fingerless and metal-knuckled. Why'd you change, baby? Uzukaze answered with, The claws Tou-san made when he created me at first were for offensive qualities, but since you don't get close and personal like he does, I decided to change into a shape I like and won't hinder your movement for swinging and holding your fan!
"WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT-EATING MOTHERFUCKING WHORE-BANGING CUNT-BLUNDERING SLUT-SLAYING TWAT-SCREWING KAMI DAMNED FUCK WAS THAT?!" (Three guesses) Tayuya's rant made Uzukaze give off a frightened aura and whimpering thoughts, making Temari rub the back of her hand reassuringly with mutterings of 'it's fine baby' and 'you're alright sweetie'. LOOK OUT, KAA-SAN! Heeding 'her boy's words, she leaped above the cudgel belonging to the long haired Doki that Tayuya had.
Appearing behind the blonde, Tayuya roared out, "'SUP BITCH!" And Uzukaze was done. DON'T CALL KAA-SAN A BITCH, SLUT! Naruto sat up straight and glared towards his son on his bedmate's hand, "UZUKAZE!" Isaribi stood up and waved down to Temari with a school-girly expression on her face as she called out, " Everyone in the arena and in the Elemental Nations looked to him expectantly, even the Doki Tayuya had summoned, for an answer as to who or what had sent that wave of thought. "YOU'RE ONLY THREE YEARS OLD, NO SWEARING, DAMN IT! GGGAAAAHHHH! NOW ANY CHANCE OF REFINING OUR SKILLS JUST WENT OUT THE WINDOW 'CAUSE YOU COULDN'T LET YOUR MOTHER SCREW UP YOUR DISTANT AUNT, DATTEBOYO!"
Everyone was frozen stiff in shock of what he'd just said. Gaara and Kankuro were processing everything, Fuu was laughing nervously while thinking DAMN THAT BITCH, I WAS SUPPOSED TO BEAT HER UP BEFORE HE KNOCKED HER UP!. Tsunade was kind of scared and excited at the idea of Naruto having a child. On one hand, if I get my hands on the brat before Jiraiya or he can corrupt it, I can finally get some respect aside from Shizune and Tonton. But if either of them get the thing before me... She shivered at the thought of a perverse, destructive, demonically-inclined and basically everything she'd learned to hate in a man.
Tayuya had mixed feelings about what Naruto said. On one note, she was called an aunt and that meant the clans from Uzu no Kuni weren't going to go extinct anytime soon. But on another note, he said 'beat up your distant aunt' like the sandy-blonde even had a sliver of a chance. Isaribi was just ecstatic that her technical sibling could be heard finally. Hinata and Ino were just...frozen. There was nothing else to be said. They just sat there, wide eyed and open mouthed with their entire bodies white with shock. N-N-Naruto-kun has...ch-ch-ch-ch-children...?! As soon as it processed, they started crying melodramatically while Sakura had happy tears flowing down her face, I'M AN INDIRECT AUNT AND I'M GONNA MEET MY NEPHEW!
Kiba, Akamaru, Choji, and Shikamaru were just standing there, blank expressions as they all muttered, "...We should've seen this coming..." Temari was blushing at the looks people were sending her while Uzukaze was getting nervous from the tension in the atmospheric pressure. Kaa-san, why's the air feel so harsh when I bring it into myself? Holding her right arm reassuringly, she looked to nothing in particular as she said quietly, "Easy, baby, you're safe 'cause your Kaa-san's here." Although they hadn't been together long, he had this effect on her that made her want to protect him with every fiber of her being as he wormed his way into her heart with his loyal, mildly innocent and endearing nature.
Deciding to fight dirty, Temari started a twister in her palm before throwing it at Tayuya, sucking the pinkette and her Doki into the vortex. The Doki returned to wherever they originated from in puffs of smoke, leaving Tayuya to fight her enemy womano-a-womano. (Not sexist, it just seems interestin' that no one really says it so I decided to say it.) Temari spun her fan around, its journey travelling around her neck and all over her arms before resting on the back of her right hand over the spiral symbol. It started spinning again, this time in a twister of energy, leaves, dust and wind with a figure appearing above it in an ethereal fashion.
This being looked about fourteen-fifteenish and was male. His eyes were hard to make out but they were leaf green, his hair was a windy sky-blue and reached to between his shoulder blades while his clothing consisted of sweatpants and a fishnet shirt which emphasized the idea of wind in his nature. A swirl was tattooed into the back and palm of both his hands as well as in the center of his muscular yet lean chest. He had a soft face, the total opposite of his father and much more like his mother, and he had an honest look on his face. An honestly pissed look on his face! He glared at Tayuya, his loyalty kicking in like a bitch.
LET'S KICK HER ASS, KAA-SAN! And a tickmark appeared on her face as she yelled back, "YOU'RE ONLY THREE FUCKING YEARS OLD! LISTEN TO YOUR FATHER, DAMN IT!" And the entire world who heard her went pale as they facefaulted at the words she'd spoken. The words 'you're three fucking years old' rang in their heads confusedly while the phrase 'listen to your father, damn it' was also traumatizing. Hinata and Ino's crying became even more dramatic, although Ino would say she was doing it so that Hinata didn't feel ostracized or embarrassed when she was actually quite heartbroken at the knowledge that one of her friends had been nailed and had a kid already. The old friends of the last known Uzumaki looked down to the arena floor in even more shock before they just smirked softly and chuckled, "We really should've seen this coming, isn't that right, Jinchuuriki of the Ninth One?" Kiba turned around as he was zoomed out of to Naruto's right shoulder as he sat there with his arms behind his head calmly and his legs crossed on the back of the seat in front of him while he looked at his old friends curiously.
"Whatever do you mean, Kiba?" Akamaru spoke, finally remembering how to although vaguely, "Our memories arrrn't as fogged anymorrr-ruh!" (Bad bark sound, sorry) Naruto, Inu, Anko, Gai and the others who knew what the dog was talking about had wide eyes at that as the Kitsunin stood up slowly to look his old friends in the eye, "So the seal's waning, should've known indeed!" His slitted eyes bore into theirs as they glared at him for what he'd done, or what they barely remembered.
"WHAT'D YOU DO TO US, YA TEME?!" Kiba's shout made Naruto release a pulse of Killer Intent, which the four of them were able to barely withstand while the others fell to the ground. "WHAT HAD TO BE IF YOU'RE TO LIVE AND SEE ANOTHER SUNRISE! IN THIS WORLD THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS 'CUT CLEAN' OR 'BLACK AND WHITE', THERE ARE ONLY SHADES OF GREY THAT WE CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT! WHEN WE FOUGHT AS GENIN I MADE SURE THAT ALL OF WHAT'S MINE WOULD BE SAFE AND I'M NOT ABOUT TO LET THAT BE IN VAIN!" He glared heatedly at the four of them, their eyes filled with hurt and hatred.
A smirk grew on Naruto's lips, "THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR! HAHAHA! Took you years and a few months, but you finally hate me, that means I won't have to babysit you anymore..." The Kitsunin stomped his left foot onto the seat in front of him, elevating him slightly, before he took one leap and landed on the arena floor with a smirk as he strolled up the wall casually until he stood above the rest of the arena and watched as the fight resumed like nothing had happened. Damn good thing my Kiragenjutsu held for so long or I'd be interrogated by the public about that. Good news is that the cameras never saw me down there, meaning I'm safe from questioning and the audience thinks I ranted something until this all seems like a distantly remembered dream...
His slitted eyes, although seemingly full of joy, were actually welling up with emotional pain at what he'd had to do for his former classmates. I hate what I've been forced to put them through, but at least they'll be safe for when the war rolls around 'cause we all know it's coming. When and where it starts is anybody's guess at this time. Jiraiya walked the ramparts until he stood at his godson's side, "So you feel better?" A shake of the head was his only response, "Not really. Not when I've taken so much from them: their memories, their hopes of having a relatively normal life, of living a war-less life, of getting the chance to raise families, of..." He sniffled slightly, tears welling in his eyes after all this time. "Knowing what it means to be happy..." Isaribi ran up to the ramparts and hugged her foster-father compassionately, "Hey, Kiddo, how goes your Fuinjutsu training?" She nodded into his chest as she smiled at her parental-sensei's codephrase.
"Just peachy-swimmingly-keen, Sensei, just peachy-swimmingly-keen..." He nodded, understanding what was on her mind. "I'm alright, Kiddo, just a little tired is all. Tired of all the waiting for the war to start, even though we've tried and will keep trying to stop this one," His attention turned to a downcast Jiraiya, knowing how his teacher hated war. "It's still coming and when it does..." A tear rolled down his whisker-marked cheek as he looked to the sky. "...I won't win it this time. I've won so many battles and I'll keep winning, but that battle...That battle's one I can't win." His student started to quiver, tears trickling down her face as she knew he wasn't going to stop fighting to run away, and knowing that he'd never come back from the war when it comes around.
"I know you'll say no, but I have to try at least. I beg you, Sensei, don't fight the war! Don't go to your death willingly! Don't fight, Run! Please!" Her sobs were heartfelt and the two males knew it, but Naruto didn't answer, preferring to purr and rub his cheek against his foster-daughter's head compassionately. "Alright," Their eyes widened at Naruto's-"get back to your seat before the fight gets too far ahead. Uzukaze's gonna want his Aneki to watch him win his first fight alongside his mother." She sighed in resignation at that, as did Jiraiya who'd actually had high hopes that his student would listen to reason, before nodding and heading back to her seat in the crowd.
Down in the arena, Temari and Tayuya were engaged in a half-Kenjutsu battle. The dark skinned pinkette slashed over, under, left, up, right, left, down, spun and stabbed at her opponent while Temari was on the defensive. She blocked, ducked, jumped, dodged and rolled away from danger with her fan still spinning around her body like an elegant dance that would never be learned by anyone else. Her fan ended up on the back of her left hand, getting her to hit one side and send it up into the air, distracting Tayuya for a split second that let the former-Sunanin roll under the pink-haired woman and kick her in the stomach. That kick was accompanied by her son sending a twister out of her palm, making the only known Hanakero go flying into the air, when the twister stopped and let the fan hit Tayuya square in the spine as she plummeted to the ground with the fan weighing her down harder.
She landed flat on her stomach and chest, hurting worse as her ribs cracked before repairing. Temari ran over and grabbed her fan before sweeping it under the Cursed Seal user, sending her into one of the walls at the far side of the arena where the sandy-blonde appeared and went to impale the blunt weapon in the flute player's stomach had Tayuya not spoken. "I didn't wanna show this off yet, seeing as not even Pedo-sama's still unaware of what I can do and since he's watching that's even worse..."
Temari stopped at that, confusion in her face as she slammed the end of her fan on one of Tayuya's horns, breaking it off before shattering it against the wall. "What are you blathering about?" The suspicious tone in her voice was met with a smirk on the amber eyed beauty Tayuya had become by using her Curse Mark while her dark pink locks overshadowed her eyes as she chuckled darkly, "I'm not the strongest physically of the Otogakure no Shinobi Gonin Shu, but!" She looked up, her eyes crazed and pupils shrunken. "I'M THE ONE WITH THE MOST TIME PUT INTO TRAINING! SO I'VE GOT SOMETHING THEY HAVEN'T THE DREAM FOR HAVING! hhhhhAAAAAAAHHHH!" Tayuya slammed her hands together into a tiger seal before her body began to change again as she screamed in pain.
Her horns grew longer and unmanaged, jagged edges going along them as they grew with some of them going upward like devil horns. She made a handseal only Akuton users recognized, which was Naruto and Isaribi from time to time. "SAME?!" (Japanese word for 'shark', not the English word 'same', 'kay?) Her left hand was curved downward like she was holding something on her fingers while her right hand made a half tiger seal. The next change was that the jagged lines of her Stage 1 Curse Seal became apparent on her skin, her maniacal smirk never leaving her face as her skin color seemed to become darker and yet turn into a light red-brown. Rubbing her fingers along her jagged horns, she cut her fingers and smeared the blood on her hands in kanji and seal formulas before making another Akuton handseal. This seal was just her hands with her fingers spread out widely like they would if she were waving excitedly, her right hand over the left before her fingers curled in towards her palms until her hands looked like an upside down flower bud.
"TAKO?!" The shout was then accompanied by a piercing, earsplitting, pained scream from Tayuya as her back sprouted two large, tattered-looking, butterfly wings. No more handseals were made as the transformation continued. A cord-like tail similar to Fuu's in fusion state sprouted from her tailbone, only this one was made of bone, flesh and blood instead of chitin. At the end was an arrowhead-like ornament that was just as jagged as her horns. Her wings began to glow an unearthly light, making her seem otherworldly in a very fitting respect. She looked up from her place on the ground after falling to her knees in pain, her smirk becoming that much more disturbing with her teeth becoming shark-like. "SURPRISE, BITCH!" She said clearly, once again no lisp with the sharp teeth that would seem appropriate.
Temari, the Sound Four, Orochimaru, Kabuto who'd finally stepped out of the shadows, of course Naruto for not having caught scent of the larger amount of Senjutsu Chakra while any sensors were feeling fear at the strange and 'unnatural' chakra they felt. "WHAT IS SHE?!" Ino's fearful cry was met with one man shouting, "HOT THAT'S WHAT SHE IS!" Whistling ensued, making everyone with a hint of common sense sweatdrop while Jiraiya started writing what she looked like before Naruto took the Super Pervert's notebook away. Tayuya, no longer hurting to all Hell, flew at Temari and slammed her fist into the blonde's stomach before swinging upward, which sent her skyward. Temari was in a daze, trying to understand what just happened, when Tayuya flew above her and slammed her feet down into the stomach of Gaara's sister, sending Temari-with-Tayuya-on-her-stomach plummeting to the ground.
They hit the ground, making a crater that had Temari laying there with broken bones all over and a triumphantly grinning Tayuya. Kneeling down to look the older sister of Gaara in the eye, Tayuya said proudly, "Sucks to get beaten, doesn't it?! To have trained for months-years-to defeat opponents that made you look like nothing, and still being beaten by someone weaker than you! I had trained for years, working to get to where I am now, and you just came along and made a fool out of me! Pedo-sama punished us horribly for getting beaten by you pieces of shit, going so fAR AS TO MAKE US WANT DEATH! AND YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA BEAT ME?! HAHAHHAHAHA! THAT'S HILARIOUS!" Tayuya stood up, glaring daggers from Hell at the woman who had made her look like a weakling.
"I worked hard to get to where I am, when you had it all given to you. FAMILY, FOOD, A HOME, CLOTHES, A PROPER EDUCATION AND MORE THAT MOST JONIN IN OTOGAKURE DON'T GET TO HAVE! WE HAVE TO SCROUNGE FOR FOOD AS WE WAIT FOR THE VILLAGE TO BE FINISHED BEING FIXED AFTER ALL THE EARTHQUAKES WE BARELY SURVIVED AND YOU'VE NEVER EVEN TRAINED HARD ENOUGH TO TEAR YOUR MUSCLES JUST TO SAY YOU'VE GOTTEN STRONGER! When I came here, all I could think about was how much of a challenge you'd be to fight, how much I'd love to see you humiliated. But apparently that was just a fantasy, 'cause you're WEAK! WE HAVEN'T FOUGHT IN YEARS AND YOU'RE NO STRONGER THAN WHEN WE LAST FOUGHT! When we fought the first time I wasn't serious, I was bored from how dull life had become, I WANTED TO HAVE A GOOD FIGHT! AND YOU GAVE THAT TO ME ON A RUSTY PLATTER! I WANTED A LONG, DRAWN OUT, BLOODY BATTLE TO PROVE I'VE HAD A GOOD BATTLE BUT YOU HAD TO END IT WITH YOUR WIND-PLAY!"
Tears were in Temari's eyes at how much pain she felt and how much Tayuya was screaming at her, expressing such disappointment. She felt bad, guilty even, for disappointing the woman who had trained so hard, expected so much and hoped with every fiber of her being to prove she was better by fighting her as a challenge. Tayuya's face had tears of pain, shame, and humiliation. "EVEN NOW, YOU PITY ME AND MADE ME LOOK LIKE A WEAKLING BY LOSING SO EASILY! HOW CAN YOU STAND BEING ALIVE WHEN YOU MAKE OTHER PEOPLE HURT LIKE THIS, YOU BITCH?! HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF?! I'D AT LEAST HOPE THAT FOR TRAINING SO HARD AND LONG THAT YOU'D DO ME THE COMMON COURTESY TO DO THE SAME! BUT NO! YOU HAD TO BE WEAK AND MAKE ME LOOK WEAK TOO, YOU BITCH! I WENT HALF STRENGTH, HOPING YOU'D GET UP TO PROVE YOU WERE A SACK OF SHIT BITCH WHO CAN STAND ON HER OWN, TWO, MOTHERFUCKING FEET!" This tirade was harsh, everyone in the audience all over the world felt sorry with tears in their eyes for this strong and proud woman who'd been let down and basically betrayed by someone she had such faith and respect for. Temari started actively crying silently, feeling like a horrible person for being weak enough to reduce this passionate and proud woman to a heartbroken and crying girl.
"EVERYONE THE WHOLE WORLD OVER'S WATCHING US AND RIGHT NOW THEY'RE PITYING ME 'CAUSE A CERTAIN BITCH DIDN'T HAVE THE DECENCY TO BE MORE THAN I CALLED HER! AND YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORST PART IS?! I can't kill you...I CAN'T MOTHERFUCKING KILL YOU 'CAUSE YOU'RE A MOTHERFUCKING PARENT, EVEN IF IT'S OBVIOUS HE WASN'T BORN FROM YOU I CAN'T KILL A MOTHER!...YOU BIIIIIIITTTTCCCCHHHHH!" Tayuya then reverted back to her Stage 2 and ran off, tears falling from her eyes while Temari was left in the dirt as she covered her crying eyes with the back of her arm, feeling like an enormous weakling, let-down and backstabber for having broken the heart of that young woman who had had such respect for her and had had faith in her that she would be stronger. But what had she done? What had she done?!
She broke that proud woman's heart by stomping on her dreams of proving she was stronger than her self-appointed rival by being so weak. Naruto stared down at the woman who had let him share her bed these past few months, guilt in his heart for having failed to train her enough to meet his ancestral friend's expectations. It wasn't Temari's fault, it was his for failing as a sensei to the Konoha no Juichinin. Angry and guilty tears fell from his eyes as he slammed a clawed fist into the stone bricks that made up the ramparts. I'M FUCKING USELESS! OF COURSE TAYUYA'D FIND A WAY TO CREATE A THIRD STAGE OF THE CURSED SEAL! SHE HAD THE MOST FUCKING REASON TO FUCKING TRY, WHY DIDN'T I-"RRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHH/RRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHH!" His roar was joined by a brokenhearted Tayuya somewhere else, revealing that her Cursed Seal wasn't just a Cursed Seal of Demons.
She's...NO WAY! Naruto transformed into his one tailed form, knowing he could slip through crowds better, and chased after his ancestral friend. Please tell me she's not gonna die! Please tell me she's not gonna die!(Uncue music)
Competitor's locker room
Tayuya stood there, looking at herself in the mirror, her horns wouldn't retract and every time they did it hurt worse than Hell. Her tears wouldn't stop, the tear-like slits under her eyes now serving a purpose as her tears were directed towards the sides of her cheeks and not directly on them so that they wouldn't drip and make a sound. (If you're a ninja, silence and stillness are key, which means that the tears being directed towards the neck would stop them from drippin' onto the ground where they'll make a sound. It makes sense y'all) That bitch, this is all her fault! This is the other reason I didn't wanna enter this form, it's nearly impossible to get out of! Why'd she have to-
Her tears and heartbroken sobs returned fullforce as she kept repeating 'why' angrily. She then saw her Stage 3 form, staring her in the eye as she(?) asked, "Why do you hate me so much? I'm trying to help you, ya know?! If you'd just fucking me I wouldn't be fighting you!" Tayuya glared angrily at her reflection, growling a primordial and unknown-animal sound. The sound of the door opening and closing made her turn to see-"A fox, that's your best fucking disguise for getting into the girl's locker room?!" Her risen voice got Naruto to transform, just when he realized she was changing, making him cover his eyes while she blushed and glared at him. "PERVERT!"
"AND," Naruto yelled back. "I WAS STUCK WITH A PERVERTED SAGE FOR THREE FUCKING, KAMI-DAMNED YEARS! WHATDYA THINK'S GONNA HAPPEN, DATTEBOYO?!" She glared at him even more at the fact that he uncovered his eyes when he saw her nude Stage 2 form, giving him a nosebleed and making him transform back into a fox. He leaped onto the counter and swatted at her forehead, making her growl in warning before she heard-Testing. Testing. Check: one, two! CAN YOU HEAR ME, TAYUYA?! "OW! YES I CAN HEAR YOU FINE, DIPSHIT, THAT HURTS! WHATDYA WANT?!"
Instead of answering, Naruto leaped onto her shoulders and looked at her seal before she shook him off. This went on for a while, him climbing up her body with youki-diluted-into-chakra control and her shaking of shoving him off. Finally, she said, "IF YOU'RE GONNA LOOK AT MY SEAL THAN AT LEAST DO IT AS A HUMAN BEING SO I DON'T HAVE TO FEEL YOUR CLAWS OR WET PAWS ON MY SKIN!" He then did as told, plugging up his nose with tissues to stop the blood from leaking out of his nose as he looked at her seal. "YOU TAMPERED WITH IT, ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE?! YOU COULD'VE KILLED YOURSELF, YOU STUPID BITCH, DATTEBOYO!" The glare she sent his way with her yellow eyes sending shivers down his back, and not out of fear. "YOU SICK-MINDED, DIRTY TEME!"
She then roundhouse kicked him, sending him into the lockers which made a dent since his weight grew with his vulpine form and the amount of youki he had naturally in his coils from training in youki control so much that his coils produced youki instead of chakra. Looking up from involuntarily staring at the spot he was kicked, he saw the descendant of his clan's ancestral friends rubbing her heel in pain, "...damn, what do you have under those clothes of yours...?!" A smirk grew across his face at that as he muttered loud enough for her to hear, "...Wouldn't you just love to know..." The demonic sound of his voice set something off in Tayuya as she launched herself at him with the intent to beat him into a pulp, before he extended one hand as it transformed into a claw of chakra. A claw of chakra that he stretched outward and had Tayuya's right Double D-cup breast land in, making him smirk at her blush as he squeezed a little bit just for kicks of pissing her off.
"Nice. Firm yet soft, large yet perky. In your casual form you're about a large C-cup to a small D-cup, but in your Stage 2 form and onward...I'd say that in Stage 3 you're about square for an E-cup. No surprise that the crowd was hooting and hollering when you've got these modifications going on. Your ass becomes bigger in the greatest of ways: sexually. I'd guess if I were to take a grab at your ass it'd be like your tits in firmness and softness. Your legs become even more well toned then they were to begin with, your hips widen and your waist becomes small enough that you're skinny while retaining enough mass to have something to hold onto." His words, although perverse and somewhat disturbingly accurate, were flattering and kind of a turn on for the last known Hanakero.
"And add onto the fact that your personality's a roller coaster of mayhem," She pulled back for a punch when he finished calmly, "which gives life a spice most people lack, any guy would kill for you, possibly literally. You're a fine, smart, most importantly strong, young woman Tayuya and you're wasting your time blaming Mari-chan for my mistake. I helped train those kids during our trip to Kiri and I totally forgot that Otogakure no Sato was allowed everywhere but Konoha so I didn't think to train them in fighting Cursed Seal users or anyone who can manipulate Senjutsu Chakra." He looked to the ground in guilt, his pointed ears somehow drooping while his cheeks still had tears rolling down them. Her body started reverting back to normal, but leaving her with a bit of a tan for some reason.
Naruto's claw fell to the ground from losing a cup size that was acting as a support which he was able to hold with his entire claw. Slowly, Tayuya strode over to him as he slumped to the ground with his eyes overshadowed by his hair, before kneeling in front of him and saying, "Naruto, look at me." Doing as asked, she saw he had guilty, empty eyes until the tissues fell out of his nose from too much blood and a short-lived geyser escaped his nostrils, shooting his head back. She groaned at that, Can't he focus for a moment, here?! He then looked at her again, straining against every instinct to look at or go after her breasts. "Thank you for the pep talk, and...yes, I did tamper with the seal..."
Her hand moved to the seal on her neck in guilt, "I wanted to beat her after all these years and I knew that if I wanted to since I'd held back when we were kids as well as that she was stronger than I was jutsu-wise, I needed to find a trump card over her. And I, well I found it..." Her red, rhombus-shaped irises were full of hurt and guilt for having tampered with the seal Naruto had helped heal her with. "I know I could've caused my coils seriously permanent damage but...But..." Tears filled her eyes as she hugged herself into his chest, hurt in her heart for having been made a fool for using so much power on someone who wasn't even half as strong as her.
"I fucked up, I fucked up bad, Naruto. And I don't know what I'm gonna do. Now the whole world thinks I'm a weakling for jumping the gun and using so much power on her when I didn't have to!" She held him tightly as his arms wrapped around her and held her close. There they half sat half laid, on the now busted lockers. Inside of Tayuya's Mindscape, her Cursed Seal started to lose its hold on her psyche, meaning her alter ego dissipated. "Thanks for the pep talk, Naruto, you're a grade A, good old bastard, ya know that?" Although a backhanded compliment, Naruto smiled nonetheless because it was the best he was getting from her. Or so he thought, "And for being such a pick-me-up, I'm gonna let you get something no one else does..."
His eyes opened at that and all he saw was, "My..." TITS!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
That's a motherfuckin' wrap ladies, gents an' other! I'm a perverted bastard an' I wanted this chapter to end with something light-hearted as well as arousin', to any of y'all who've got a boner, you're welcome. If ya somehow got blueballs, you're also welcome. Tayuya's a Hanakero, ancestral friends to the Uzumaki, that means they have similar proficiencies. Although the Hanakero were more skilled in Genjutsu, they were better than Minato at Fuinjutsu and were about as good as Tenten in canon in Kenjutsu(That's pretty, fuckin' good!). This chapter's pretty straight forward, but I know someone's gonna ask 'bout Uzukaze, so here it is: Naruto used the energy and motion of the whirlpool the Conch King unintentionally made to give Uzukaze his power with Fuinjutsu, but Naruto's chakra alone wasn't enough to give him life. He was alive yes, but not altogether a sentient bein' like y'all or me. Temari's chakra had feminine energy in it, whereas Naruto's had male energy. So when Temari's chakra flowed into Uzukaze, the male chakra and female chakra touched an' reacted as an explosion(The gust that knocked everybody out the night before the fight).
Uzukaze was able to talk to his wearer 'fore he received the final piece of his bein' but he was basically a child learnin' to speak, but Temari's chakra carried a feminine quality that was comprehensiveness of anythin' his wielder knew as information 'bout the world. That included language, how to read, write, geography, an' other kinda-basic things ya learn in school. That's why he's so coherent an' mouthy, he knows everythin' he generally needs to know 'bout the world. Any other weapons Naruto's created may have sentience, I'm thinkin' 'bout it an' Iunno if I should. If y'all're fine with it, I'll let it become normal, but I do intend to connect what I've planned with what Naruto can do with weaponry, seals an' such.
Also, when I told my sensei, Personalbooklog, 'bout this idea she thought I meant Soul Eater. But I'm clearin' that up for anyone who thinks that, that's not the case at all. Now, if there are any questions y'all've got that I couldn't think of, PM me or leave a review askin' 'the fuck's this 'bout Wyvertooth!', 'kay?
But here's the big thing for the question of why haven't I posted anythin' in a while: My first cat died recently an' I'm right now goin' through mournin' right now, that's why I wanted to end on somethin' upbeat an' slightly perverse this chapter. 'Cause perversion's fuckin' funny an' it lightens the mood, I'm gonna bring it in more an' probably gonna up the ratin' of this story so that children don't walk in on a chapter where somethin' sexual's goin' on.
As always: R&R, no flamin' my ass, constructive criticism an' SEE YA-GOOD NIGHT!
