The Greek Kunoichi
Chapter 10: The Audience and the Solstice meeting.
Author's Notes: Here we are at chapter 10! I closed my last poll and the winner is the ocarina shaped like a seashell with pearls and corals. By a large margin at that! Well, Naruto will probably use clones to make her own orchestra, but her favourite will be the ocarina. She has the wind element from both sides of the family after all. For the stats we have 33 reviews, 156 followers, 162 favourites, 4 C2 communities and 11 235 views.
It was now Sunday and Naruto was expected at Hera's temple tomorrow at noon. So she had only one free day left to troll Camp Half Blood. In her den, Naruto in fox form was thinking quite heavily as to who to prank. Needless to say, Hephaestus cabin was no longer a bright orange since her paint was solvable in water, but the residents didn't appreciate the decoration. Now what to do as a Grand finale? An underwear raid on the girls of different cabins maybe? No, it was too much of a guy thing. She might be bisexual but she still didn't understand the fascination males got with the feminine underwear. Yes, it was sexy, especially on a good looking woman, but more importantly, it was supposed to be functional. Now what to do and who to prank? Annabeth and Clarisse were on the war path still so better leave them alone. The Aphrodite campers were such cry babies it wasn't even fun to mess with them anymore. If she pranked her siblings, her dad would probably take notice of her before the Solstice and it simply wouldn't do, it was her mom's show. Force Hermes' children to tell the truth? Hmm, that one had potential, but too risky. If she used her talents as a daughter of Apollo, the identity of the trickster/poltergeist would then be deductible. Bingo! A seal that would make a person's clothes fall apart and leave only the underwear for a little bit of modesty! But sealing each and every thing/people would be too much time intensive, so she had to draw the seals somewhere. She decided to draw the seals at the Mess Hall, it would be hilarious! Getting out of her den once night had fallen and everybody was in their cabins, she stuck to the shadows, scurrying like the animal she was impersonating.
Passing near the Hearth, she saw her Great Aunt Hestia in her child form tending to the fire and somebody else was with her. Curious, she took her time to observe who it was. When she saw it was Artemis, she bolted back into the shadows as fast as she could manage in that body. What was she doing here?! She made sure to not use natural energy or enter Sage Mode after her trolling on Olympus! She had erased all her trails, put even false ones all over New York! She couldn't have been found out, no?! No matter, better make her fox self scarce and make extra sure to not been seen. After dodging the Moon and the Hearth Goddesses, she arrived at the Mess Hall with no more problems. Letting her chakra pool discretely under her paws after making sure that it would not be sensed, she trotted all around the tables, weaving her chains of seals to obtain what she wanted. Once her job was done, she disappeared back into the night. She would sleep in her den as a fox tonight and tomorrow at dawn she would slip into the woods and use the Hiraishin to go back to the apartment. She would have loved to see the results of her last prank, but she didn't want to risk it. If the Goddess of the Hunt was in the camp's borders, so that was meaning Naruto had overstayed her infiltration. Thankfully her seals would only work once and that would be when everybody would be at breakfast and would activate when the meal would be over. They would fade after that, she hadn't feed them enough chakra to make them permanent. She could do it of course, but with Artemis here, she would get busted. There were four Greek/Roman gods and one titan who could feel and detect chakra. Artemis/Diana was one. Naruto was at the edge of her grandfather's cabin when a silver arrow was shot at her with no warning! With supernatural reflexes, she dodged the arrow with a back jump and let the momentum carry her a few paces backwards. Her transformed animal brown eyes searched and found the silvery yellow's of Artemis, who was watching her with evident curiosity. No normal animal could have dodged that. Something about that fox was not what it seems.
She notched another arrow, readied her bow and let the shot pass only to see the vixen jump to the side this time, letting the arrow embedded itself in the ground. The Moon rider blinked again in surprise. One time could be put down as coincidence, a second time not so much. A low snarl and the light of the moon reflecting on the beast's fangs were her only warnings that her prey had not appreciated been shot at. Unconsciously shifting her body close to a human one, she only had enough time to bring her bow up to deflect a lunge and a bite to the neck from the vixen! Without realizing it, a smirk graced her lips. A challenge! Finally! Then, one word slip out of her lips when she saw that her prey had gotten to the size of a grey wolf and that now there was two tails were now waving behind it.
"Kitsune."
Her prey was a fox spirit! What was it doing it here causing mayhem and chaos? Those were creatures of the East, not the West! With no more time for thinking, she took an adult shape since she had been nearly subdued in her child form with those tails in her inattention. Then, two bright golden fire orbs jumped into existence at the end of its tails, one lunging directly to her face, blinding her and the other to the hand holding her bow. Clever! It would have worked if she wasn't a goddess. With a flare of her power, she batted both fox fire's orbs away. She went to continue the fight, only to find out that the supernatural fox had disappeared! Extending her senses, she could not detect the supernatural essence of the creature at all! All she could find was the signatures of the dryads, satyrs, demigods, the unique taste of Chiron and Argus' essences and Dionysius, without counting on Hestia's. Damn! Her prey got away! Then she felt the wind on her skin where it shouldn't. She looked down to see her bosom free of her bindings and her tunic slashed trough! Artemis, who was now blushing a bright gold seemingly with all the ichors in her veins moving to her face, was quick to repair her tunic and breasts bindings and then assume a form where she wasn't as well endowed! And people wonder why she never stuck as an adult for long! She was always feeling awkward as a grown woman. She had urges in that form, that she had spent thousands of years suppressing! Damn, the trickster fox managed a good parting shot before escaping! She went to sulk near her aunt's hearth. Hestia was smiling serenely, as always. Glad to see such emotion in her niece. Sincerely, she wouldn't have called Artemis for only a trickster had she not owed a favour to Chiron. But the centaur had guessed well that the fox hanging around wasn't normal and he didn't want to take chances. With the Giants awakening again, she could understand. Though the goddess of family would have never guessed that it was a kitsune, a Japanese fox spirit of all things, which had taken a shine to her pantheon's demigods! That would explain the rash of pranks around here without being from Hermes' children. She got to admit that most were funny. The one on the Aphrodite children was kind of mean though. But well, nobody was perfect, not even the gods. She reassured her niece in saying serenely
"Don't sulk, Artemis. You are no longer a child. You did well by exposing the troublemaker, even if it got away from you. The trickster was a supernatural being; it probably had a plan to escape in place the second its cover would be blown. Chiron was almost tearing his hairs in frustration. At least we can now tell him that it was a female kitsune causing trouble. I swear I was about to fade from laughing so hard when I saw Hephaestus' cabin painted a bright orange yesterday!"
Artemis answered
"You don't understand Aunt Hestia! Its two beings that got away from me in the same week! The other day I sensed a presence using nature taking a stroll on Olympus. Said presence led me, me! On a wild goose chase! Then a few Olympians were pranked! You were there to see what happened to father, but Apollo said somebody sneaked in his temple and doodled everywhere on his portraits and statues! I've got to admit though it was amusing when he was horrified that someone would draw a heart on his wall and pair him with the Norse goddess Hela of all things! Ares had embarrassing graffiti drawn on the doors of his temple; Athena was literally swearing up a storm about a book series of all things and fuming about a childish drawing similar as the one in Apollo's temple, pairing her with Mars and the Norse thunder god, Thor, of all things! It was mostly childish stuff, but I never caught sight the culprit even once! If I had not been especially paying attention to the wild life around the camp tonight, the kitsune would have slipped by without resistance! I think...I think that the Shinto pantheon is not as isolationist as we may think they are."
Hestia became worried also. Her little brother's ego made it very difficult for both the Greeks and the Romans to interact peacefully with the others pantheons. As Jupiter, he had offered a truce/Cease fire with the Egyptian gods, but that was about it. If the Shinto gods were really opening their doors once again, it would be rocky...She would have to track down Mother Rhea for her help in reigning Zeus' temper. And he was making so much progress recently! Just the other day, he told Hermes that he was proud of him! Maybe a private family reunion after the Solstice show would be best? She then said to Artemis
"Do not jump to conclusions, niece. Even if the Shinto pantheon was moving out of isolationism, they would send a messenger first asking for an audience with Zeus before entering our territory to go philandering. For the rest, let's wait and see. We have the Gigantes to worry about first and Grandmother's awakening."
The goddess of the Moon shivered at the mention of the Earth primordial, Gaia, her great-grandmother. That was one sick puppy. She bowed to her aunt's wisdom. Hestia was the oldest of the Olympians after all.
Back with Naruto, she had managed to escape Artemis and hide in the woods. There she had taken back her human form and stretched her limbs before using the Hiraishin to go back home. Pranking was nice, but now it was time to get serious. After a good night of rest and a promise to share her pranks on the Camp at supper tonight, Naruto left for her audience. Not really what to wear when you meet the Queen of the Gods, she decided for blue jeans, her reinforced shinobi sandals and a white conservative blouse. Of course, her ninja gear was on application of chakra away. Taking her purse, she went to hail a taxi and paid her fare to the Empire State Building. Once there, she showed the guard her invitation, a card with the symbol omega on one side and a peacock on the other. Once confirmed she was expected, she was given the key card permitting her access to Olympus. It took a while for the elevator to escalate this high, so she took her long hair and put them in a lazy ponytail. Once the doors opened, she was interested by the scenery. Last time she didn't really had time to take it in. It was beautiful alright, but she maintained that it would be better with some more orange here and here.
Whistling, she went about her business, remembering the way to Hera's temple. Once there, without any nervousness, she approached the doors and with a golden chakra claw tighten into a fist, she knocked tree times on the gigantic doors before letting her energy in a dormant state once more. The doors opened and a voice with an ironic tint on it said
"Enter!"
Naruto snickered a bit before entering as bade by the goddess. She walked nonchalantly up to the throne where Hera was sitting, observing the girl coming for an audience. Naruto stopped at the stairs in front of the throne, but did not bow. She raised her right hand and with it, gave a friendly wave accompanied by a friendly smile and a polite voice
"Hi, my name is Naruto Uzumaki. I'm a daughter of Apollo. It's nice to meet you Hera. Thanks, by the way, to have accepted to receive me. How are you going?"
The Queen was taken aback by the girl's familiar way of talking. She was not impolite per see, but she was not groveling either. She wasn't sure what to make of that. Deciding to roll with the ball as the saying goes, she answered
"You are welcome and I am well. You are a very unusual young woman, let me tell you that. You seem to be the kind to not beat around the bush, so let's get into the flesh of the subject."
Naruto acquiesced with a nod and make a resume of her C.V. then she explained how she met Lupa, who was working on the Roman side of things to bring the camps together. The thought of the wolf goddess acting like a pet dog did get out an amused snort from Hera though. If she passed her training (Lupa's) she would get awarded with the politic power and the physical proof to be the official ambassador to Camp Jupiter, but to make it more convincing, she still needed accreditation from the Greek side of things. Lupa had instructed her to ask for Chiron's permission, but Naruto decided to go one step higher on the recommendation of Amphitrite, her grandmother. Hera wanted more information on Naruto's ancestry, but she convinced the goddess to be patient. With a fox like grin and twinkling blue eyes, she said
"You don't want to miss the show on the coming winter Solstice meeting. Everything will be explained there. Even Zeus is on board and even Hades is waiting with impatience. Let's talk about your plan to unite both castes of demigods shall we?"
Hera conjured a seat for Naruto once convinced to her point of view and those two were planning for hours at end. With Naruto's firm grounding in mortal life, she could help iron in the goddess' plans. Yes, Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon and Jason Grace, son of Jupiter, would still be trading places with temporary memory loss. But it would be better to warn their precious ones first. For Camp Half-Blood, the official reason for Percy's disappearance would be a confidential mission. Naruto recommended a little more detail oriented explanation to Percy's mother, Sally Jackson. Not divulging the plan per see about uniting the Romans and the Greeks demigods, but at least some solid explanations to reassure her that her son would be fine would be a great relief. On Jason's side of things, assuring Camp Jupiter that he was neither a traitor nor a deserter would go a long way to keep his record spotless. The reason for his absence would be a mission solo requested by the gods. The Romans tended to back talk less, well when not in the senate. There was also the fact that both leaders should not be joinable by any way, mortal or divine. Hera should talk with Iris to not accept messages from either side of the Divide destined to Percy or Jason, at least not until both castes come in contact again. Not to forget to gift both of them with the necessary gear for survival. Yes, it would be a trial for both, but let's not send them to the front without supplies. When all the details were hammered and while both knew that a plan never survived enemy's contact, the bare bones of it would still be in place, they took a bathroom break. Once back, Hebe, the cupbearer of the gods, served them some wine. Naruto, with her metabolism, could not get drunk at all, so she sipped the wine slowly to enjoy it. After a sip, Hera asked something
"Naruto, why are so informal? Do you not realize what could happen to you on a whim of a god in a bad mood?"
The only legitimate daughter of the Sun rider scoffed and answered
"I'm not a formal person. For me everyone is equal, be it a head of state, the vagrant behind the closest McDonald's or the gods. You want my respect given to you? In my opinion, you have to earn it. I'm already respectful in my opinion; I have the tendency to give nicknames to people and I didn't give you one. Heck, my Head of State is the Head of the military back in my home village and I still call her Granny to her face. You should see her reaction, it's hilarious! Her teammate, Jiraiya, I call him Pervy Sage because he write porn and peek on woman in outdoor baths. I'm warning you Hera, seriously. Whatever you do, do not let Zeus and Jiraiya meet. Those two would form a solid friendship over their common vices and it would be the end of the world! A world, where this duo blessed with Jiraiya's perseverance and ingenuity and with Zeus' powers at hand and experience with the fairer sex, could not survive for long!"
She said with utmost sincerity. It was so much absurd, but true, Hera could do nothing more than let her head fall back and laugh out loud! Oh, she liked this girl! She was hilarious! Once calmed, she wiped a few tears of mirth and said
"By Order, I can't remember the last time I laughed that much! I just looked up the shinobi you told me about and I can see your point of view. Those two aren't allowed to be alone, ever. Would I be right in assuming that it was you who led Artemis on a wild goose chase all around Olympus the other day? You told me you were a Toad Sage, thus you can use nature to your purposes. A presence made of natural energy made fun of the Goddess of the Hunt and several gods. Zeus wasn't happy with the new nature look, though."
Naruto's answer was only to grin like a fox, showing her sharp canines. That was all the answer Hera needed. She was starting to really like this girl. The first legitimate child of the God of the Arts, an independent and strong young woman and crafty with that! To manage what she had managed, it was really something. Though seeing Ares' reaction to the drawings on his temple's doors was quite amusing. Her warmonger son was quite homophobic and he resented being called a "Mamma's boy". Naruto then had a fantastic idea and just had to share it with Hera.
"Hera, I'm sorry if I overstep my bounds, but for Zeus' philandering around, I have an idea to help. I doubt you can stop him for too long, I mean, he did manage to last about forty years top but after that...well, if you can't stop him from sleeping around, you could always be devious about it and make it so that his flings won't produce anymore children. Remember, he is your king yes, but you are also his queen. Put a decree on him that his seed is no longer virile on another woman than you; oh don't forget to make him sleep on the couch when he does something stupid. That won't stop him for long when he find an interesting piece of tail, but at least he won't left demigods left and right anymore.You should think about it."
After that suggestion, the goddess and the kunoichi talked about nothing and everything and when Naruto left, she had her Greek accreditation and permission to use the full extents of her power to keep a civil war from happening. If she had to bust some egos and bash some heads to do it, go for it! It was time to have a woman's touch into this affair. She could go full bijuu if needed. Hera would also inform Juno, who would inform Mars and Jupiter. To keep her presence a secret from Greek Mode Apollo for a little while longer; Hera directly teleported Naruto at the elevator going back down to New York. She took the ride down without seeing anybody, it was a good thing. After all, if her dad had any common sense, he would have come back and groveled in front of her mom the second she unlocked her seal when she challenged Yang Kurama for his full power and his memories when he was Minato Namikaze came back to him. But no, the big baby did everything in his power to not go back to Konoha. Bad move Apollo, very bad move.
The day that every gods on Olympus except Apollo finally arrived. For this occasion, Hades arrived on Olympus a little early, letting his wife handle things in the Underworld. Hephaestus had placed cameras everywhere so the meeting would be diffused in both camps and at every domicile of those minor gods not living on the mountain. Zeus was almost as giddy as a young god. One of his sons had done something very stupid to the point of making him shake his head in disappointment. Even he would not have waited almost three years, delaying the inevitable punishment that come in cheating on your wife. He was still feeling in his ichors his last punishment at Juno's hands when he was Jupiter and sired Jason. Apollo was in for it and he would gladly help Poseidon and Amphitrite's daughter by doing his job as the ultimate judge. Justice was his department after all.
It was a rare thing, but the three sons of Kronos, may he rot, were getting along splendidly today. Apollo opened his mouth and said something about wife swapping and he was immediately cuffed behind the head, very hard, seven times by Artemis. One for each of the Big Three, one for each of their wives he offended and the last one was for herself. Needless to say, he did shut up after all, glaring at his snickering brothers. Ares even said
"Even I'm not dumb enough to say that, sunspot. Seriously, I'm not even a seer and I saw that coming miles away!"
After a good collective chuckle at Apollo's big mouth, the council continued, addressing problems and requests. When it was time for the demigods to visit, Zeus said
"Before we mingle with our children, we have something special in mind. Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, Kushina Uzumaki, enter!"
The trio of shinobi demigods entered the meeting hall as requested. Apollo sunny disposition paled drastically at the name "Naruto" but at the name "Kushina" he was ready to flee for his life if he had not been restrained to his throne by celestial bronze manacles at his wrists, keeping him on his spot and Athena's spear at his jugular. The wisdom goddess was sporting a grin that was terrifying for the Prophecy god! He had to get away! Kushina would kill him! Hades would then resurrect him for Kushina to kill him again! Zeus was the one to put the final nail on his coffin with a big smile on his face.
"Phoebus Apollo, son of Zeus and Leto, God of the sun, youths, arts, music, medicine, truth and prophecies; I, Zeus Almighty, King of the gods, restrain your powers and divinity. You are locked into Minato Namikaze's form and given your shinobi powers back. You are still prophetic, still immortal, but you are now made of flesh and blood, closer to a demigod than a god. You will only have access to your full powers and godly form if you are fighting another God, Titan or Gigante. "
Apollo's body shined brightly after Zeus finish talking, to the point that the mortals had to avert their eyes as Apollo took briefly his divine form before changing shape. No longer was Apollo an immortal teenager, his body took Minato's form. His clothing was still the same but fitted for his new constitution. He was no longer ten feet tall, but human sized! A sweet voice called out to him, his wife Kushina
"Oh, Mi-Na-To! Husband! We have so much to talk about! But before we go, Lady Hera, it's your turn now!"
The queen of Olympus offered a mischievous smirk to the god of prophecies and declared
"I, Hera, Queen of Olympus, Goddess of marriage, declare in this instant that Apollo's marriage to Kushina Uzumaki, twice born demigod, daughter of Poseidon and Amphitrite, is still active and binding. You may go with my blessings."
The second Hera finished her declaration; both Kushina and Apollo/Minato flashed a peacock purple before everything went back to normal. The red head was mad. You could tell by the way her hair was waving into nine tails all around and by the glint in her sea green eyes. Suddenly, a dozen of silver chains shot out of her body and went for the downgraded god! With an unmanly shriek, Apollo used all of his speed he was renowned for when he was incarnated as the Yellow Flash to run away from his irate wife! The rest of the gods had a very hard time not to laugh out loud at the sight. The chains would corner him and after throwing a tri-pronged kunai, he would disappear into a yellow flash of light. Athena was observing the technique with intrigue, and then she made the connection. Shinobi, Delos, chakra, space/time teleportation technique, porn books appearing from nowhere, the doodle in her temple. It was all linked, but how? Her ruminations were interrupted when a golden claw of energy coming out from the smirking blond girl, Naruto, knocked the special kunai away from her father, then the chains created by the chakra of Apollo's wife, and wasn't it a shock and a half to learn that the womanizer god was married, Kushina, caught him. With a smirk on her face, Kushina dragged her bound husband outside of the meeting hall.
Apollo was squirming, yelling and debating like a mad man! He wanted to live damn it! He had so many things he wanted to do! With a last ditch effort he literally begged his twin to help him.
"Artemis, please! Help me, I beg of you! Big sister, save me! I don't want to die!"
For Apollo to admit he was the younger twin and beg for help, he must really be afraid. But nobody was willing to help. Every divinity in the meeting had agreed beforehand that it was a needed lesson for the god of truth. When his twin declined to help, in his latch ditch effort, he tired to appeal to Naruto's good nature.
"Please, Naruto! Help daddy out of this mess! You're not a cruel woman are you?! Tell your mom to let me go! I'll teach you anything you want! PLEASE!"
Naruto's answer was her trademark fox-like grin and to deny her father's plea.
"Nope. That will teach you to not come back for eighteen years. You had your mortal memories back for two whole years now and you still didn't come back to grovel for forgiveness at mom's feet. You're on your own dad."
Apollo was finally dragged out of the meeting hall with a resounding and final dramatic
"NOOOOOOOO!"
Then it was silence. Said silence was replaced soon by the agonized cries of the reduced Sun God
"No! No! Not the saucepan of doom! Not the saucepan! ARGGH! That hurts!"
"Eighteen years Apollo! Eighteen long years alone with a baby girl to educate on my own! You think I'm the kind of girl you can marry and make a child with then disappear? Think again Datebane!" (Kushina's verbal tick)
"But dear, the Ancients Laws...AGGHH! NOT THE FACE! Kushi-chan! NOT THE FACE! It's the money maker!"
"The freakin' Ancient Laws don't forbid you to send a letter or to make a phone call Datebane! I'm not a damn hooker you paid to have sex with; I am your wife in case you still forgot! Not the face you said, heh? How about the pearls?"
Kushina's sweet voice was heard loud and clear. At that one, every male in the meeting hall, divine or mortal flinched then crossed their legs. That was cruel beyond belief. Ares then said solemnly
"A minute of silence for the loss of Apollo's manhood and freedom. There goes a brave man."
Every male, be it divine or mortal without a life partner, bowed his head in respect. The women all rolled their eyes collectively at the silliness of the men. Apollo's pain and panic filled voice was then heard again
"KYAAAA! Yes the face! Yes the face! Not my pearls! I need them!"
"You won't need them for a long while, datebane! They're mine again and I decree right here right now that you won't use them with me or any other woman! You, mister, are sleeping on the couch and with no sex for the foreseeable future!"
The Big Three shivered at that. They absolutely hated the couch! Curse you to Tartarus Jay Wellingdon Couch! Apollo's answer was as dramatic as the god
"NOOOOOO! NOT THE COUCH! Not the no-sex rule, I love sex! I live for sex! PLEASE!"
The sun rider somehow managed to free himself from the adamantine sealing chains but before he could go far, Kushina's voice was heard
"Where do you think you're going, dear? We're not done yet! Get back here right now!"
A yellow/orange claw of chakra was seen into the doors and just when Apollo was about to cross it, he was grabbed by the waist and violently haul back outside where Kushina continued to pummel him and berate him for not being there. She had a lot of frustrations to let go of. When a subdued and beaten black and blue Apollo was seen re-entry the hall with his wife, Ares, Hermes, and Hephaestus couldn't contain themselves anymore and exploded into peals of laughter! Then, once calmed, they took human form to mingle with their children.
Ares took Sasuke apart and both father and son fixed the other in silence. After a while, Ares said in an uncharacteristic soft voice
"You look so much like your mother. I am proud of you, my son. I am glad that you managed to surpass your limitations and became the splendid shinobi I see before me. Tomorrow morning, when you get to camp, I will claim you. Help Clarisse whip your brothers and sisters into shape will ya?"
Sasuke, silent and broody, accepted with a small and sincere smile.
"Yes Otou-sama. (Formal Japanese appellation for father) I will do as you ask. Thank you for letting Kushina fosters me. After Itachi massacred the clan before they could rise in rebellion against Konoha, I was a mess. Without a mother figure, I would be have failed to temper my worst traits and fallen in the Avenger role."
Ares let a small smile pass his scared lips and as a mark of affection, he strongly clapped Sasuke into his back, then they went back to the others. Sasuke would whip his siblings into shape and the Giants would rue the day they decided to come back. The Lightning blade would cut them down with the help of the Red Hot Habanero and Naruto of Nine Tails.
Omake: The Valley of the End.
Sasuke and Naruto were staring at each other upon the head of their ancestors' statues. Sasuke was on the head of Madara Uchiha and Naruto was on the head of Hashirama Senju. Both founded Konohagakure No Sato about a century ago. They had been best friends and rivals and before that, enemies. In the Warring States Era, the Senju and Uchiha were bitter enemies. Sasuke was falling to the Curse of Hatred bred into the Uchiha clan so long ago and Naruto was still following the Will of Fire. Sasuke had attempted to go rogue after the offer of Kabuto Yakushi, former right hand man of Orochimaru, who offered him more power to be able to kill Itachi in the goal to avenge his clan massacre at his hands. Needless to say, a squad was formed to bring him back. Each and every one in the squad had stopped to take care of an opponent blocking the way, letting Naruto catch up to her foster brother.
They bantered back and forth, but when Sasuke tried to leave without fighting, Naruto would each time shift gears into Sunlight Speed and bat him away from the border. Each and every time, Sasuke would yell at her
"Let me pass!"
She answered the same thing over and over with such steel in her voice; he was starting to be very afraid.
"You. Shall. Not. Pass!"
When he attacked her with intent to kill, now things started to go downhill. For him.
She batted him away and started transforming! A bubbling red cloak of chakra was enclosing her and taking the shape of a fox and he now knew he was in deep trouble. Her nails became claws, her whiskers birthmarks became wider and thicker! Her fangs poked through her lips, said lips became black! But the thing that made his heart hurt, was to see the sky blue eyes of Naruto turned red and vertical. The white sclera turned black. He was very afraid for his life when he realised there were three chakra tails waving absently at her tail bone. With an animalistic voice, she said
"I have a deal with Kurama, Sasuke. You see, he isn't fond of your clan and even less of the Sharingan. In exchange for not fighting me for control and allowed me three tails of his chakra, I promised him access to my senses and that I would give you a severe trashing. He wanted me to kill you, but I convinced him that it would be way more satisfying kicking your ass all over the valley, then drag you back home and let mom punish you. Ah, I almost forgot. I swear on the River Styx that I will give Sasuke Uchiha a trashing with Kurama's chakra in exchange of letting him access to my senses and not trying to take me over. Then I will bring him back home, alive, for his just punishment from my mother."
The cloudless sky boomed at the Oath and Sasuke knew he was screwed. When the bijuu was helping his container, they were like a natural disaster. Unstoppable. He took his guard and decided to take his beating like a man. Needless to say, after all was over, Sasuke had the Avenger beaten out of him once again.
