Okay here's the next chapter, let me know what you guys think. Please review, it really does motivate me to write more, and let's me know how I'm doing. I'm only on chapter 4 but I only have 4 reviews, come on. Even if it's just a good job or something, just let me know, it really does inspire me to keep going when I hear what you guys have to say. Anyway let's begin.
Broken Angel
Chapter 4: I Am No Longer Yours
"How's she doing?" Remus asked as he strode up to Kakashi.
Kakashi stood at the edge of a tree line, watching Narumi in the field about fifty yards away.
"Angry." was Kakashi's only reply.
Remus only scowled in reply, as he laid eyes on his niece in all but blood. She sat meditating in the center of a training field, the wind was blowing quite rapidly around her, and just looking at the scene made the wolf within him bow submissively.
"I assume you aren't alone here?" Remus asked.
"No. There's probably thirty Anbu in the tree line watching her. The council and elders believe she's dangerous." Kakashi replied, sounding angry at that statement.
"What?! Those fools wouldn't know dangerous if it walked up and bit them on their rears. Sure, she's angry, but she has every right to be. She just lost her best friend, and got mixed up in the whole Uchiha affair, I'm pretty sure anyone would be off put at that point." Remus responded with a growl, obviously not happy with the Leaf at the moment.
"True... still. She beat Itachi, sure he was tired from killing the Uchiha, but he wasn't to the point of complete exhaustion, and apparently, she managed to do some damage. If she could do that, who in this village can't she beat?" Kakashi responded, trying very hard not to sound proud of that statement.
"Has anyone tried to approach her? Like Minato or Itachi?" Remus asked.
"Itachi? No, the boy is smart, she made it perfectly clear that their friendship was over. If he wants to live, he'll be sure to steer clear of her for a good while. Sensei on the other hand... well he didn't try personally but Lady Tsunade and the Third Hokage did." Kakashi replied.
"Oh? How did that turn out?" Remus asked, knowing it probably wasn't good.
"Well..." Kakashi began as he remembered back.
(FLASHBACK)
"Hello Narumi. It's good to see you again." Hiruzen Sarutobi stated, as he and his student approached the young girl, whose name was on everyone's lips.
"Lord Third." Narumi replied without opening her eyes or moving from her meditative position. She'd spent all of her time recently trying to calm herself and allow her anger to fade away. All she wanted was some peace and quiet.
"Tsunade and I would like to talk to you." Hiruzen began after a moment of silence.
"Sorry, I'm really busy right now, come back some other time." Narumi told the two, her voice devoid of emotion.
"You're not doing anything. You're just sitting there, brat." Tsunade snapped back, irritated at the girl's aloof manner.
"Still more important than anything you might have to say." Narumi responded.
"What did you..." Tsunade began as she took a menacing step forward, but her threat died in her throat as Narumi's eyes snapped open, and she was greeted to the sight of her Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
"Tsunade calm down!" Hiruzen snapped at his student.
Tsunade stared at her goddaughter's glowing red eyes, trembling slightly at the killing intent that was rolling off of her. This wasn't the largest amount of KI she had ever dealt with, but considering it was coming from an eight-year-old girl, it was so much more stunning then normal.
"Tsunade!" Hiruzen snapped again. This time her gaze shot to him, and she saw the warning in his eyes. She managed a slight nod, before taking a step back from the small girl.
"So you're learning." Narumi commented with a cruel grin. Causing Tsunade to glare at her angrily.
"Please Narumi, we're just here to talk." Hiruzen stated, trying to diffuse the situation.
"Then talk. But make sure she keeps her mouth under control. I'm sure she's smart enough to remember that my kind have an unnatural hatred for hers." Narumi stated.
Both Tsunade and Hiruzen, adopted looks of surprise at that. To think that this little girl knew and understood the animosity and downright hatred, that the Uchiha and Senju had for each other, was unnerving.
"Your father..." Hiruzen began after he recomposed himself, but was cut off by a sudden scoff that escaped from Narumi's lips.
"That man is no father to me. All he's ever done is fuck the whore who birthed me!" Narumi spat back, the venom in her tone, caused Hiruzen to flinch and Tsunade to glare.
"Narumi, your parents love you. They want you to come home." Hiruzen told her.
"Ha! Bull! According to the Fourth Hokage, I'm just some spoiled brat who's unworthy to lead his precious clan. Though I'm not surprised he wants me to come home, after all, now the whole village knows that I'm stronger than Itachi, and that I possess a heightened form of the Sharingan. That would do wonders for his precious clan's reputation to have someone like me in it." Narumi replied with a cocky grin, though the grin never reached her eyes, which were still glowing malevolently.
"Please Narumi... none of that is true. Minato is sorry for those things he said. And Lily has been absolutely distraught since you left. Even Naruko misses you." Hiruzen told her in a kind and gentle tone, not letting the fact that he was terrified of the menacing glow of Narumi's eyes, show.
"Now I know you're blowing wind up my skirt. Minato is a fool. Lily, my whore mother, was going to slap me for just showing them I could wall walk, I'm actually curious to know what she'll try to do to me, after I nearly killed Itachi, and showed the entire village that I'm stronger than my little bitch of a sister. And on that note, Naruko probably hasn't been happier since I left. She's probably pissed right now, knowing that I'm the stronger of the two of us, by far." Narumi sneered in reply. Hiruzen found himself confounded by how odd this situation was. Most notable of it all was Narumi's mouth. He'd never heard a child say such things.
"Narumi..."
"Don't try it old man. My parents are idiots who deserve nothing but a lonely painful death. I still blame Minato for getting Shisui killed. If he hadn't sent him on that mission, he wouldn't have been attacked, and he wouldn't be dead now." Narumi cut him off.
"Narumi." Hiruzen whispered with a look of sadness, while Tsunade was sending Narumi a death glare. In her mind, she couldn't comprehend how someone who had a family would turn on them like this. Tsunade had lost most of her family when she was young, and yet here Narumi was spitting on them like they were roaches. The sheer audacity enraged the Senju princess. It never once entered her mind, that she, along with the rest of the Namikaze, had done nothing to earn Narumi's love.
"My parents are nothing. It's like Kakashi always says. 'Those who break the rules are trash, but those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash.' They abandoned me, and I'm family to them... I wonder what that makes them? What's lower than trash? And then what's lower than that? I hate them both. They can go die for all I care; I don't need them." Narumi stated coldly.
"Do not speak of your parents like that you little shit!" Tsunade finally exploded in rage, she shot forward to grab the little brat, and teach her a lesson, but was stopped by an enormous blue skeletal hand.
The skeletal hand of Susano'o caught Tsunade's in its massive maw.
"It seems you need to be taught a lesson, Senju scum!" Narumi muttered with nothing but hate in her eyes. "Hashirama would be disappointed in you. You and your precious Fourth Hokage, have abandoned the principles he founded this village for."
Tsunade adopted a look of shock at hearing that. No one had ever dared throw her grandfather's beliefs in her face like that.
"Now you spoiled brat, let me show you the power of the last true Uchiwa!" Narumi shouted as Susano'o pulled Tsunade into the air, and violently slammed her into the ground, creating a crater thirty feet wide, and causing Hiruzen to leap back to avoid getting caught in the blast.
"Fuck... I... gods that hurt!' Tsunade thought as she was hefted back into the air, and unceremoniously flung one hundred yards into the forest where she painfully punched through several trees before slamming into the ground with enough force to shatter multiple bones. If she wasn't a legendary healer, she would have been royally screwed by that attack.
Like so many others, she had fallen for a near fatal blunder. Narumi was no mere child.
Back at the field Hiruzen could only gape in awe at the little girl that had just bested a sannin. Sure, Tsunade had been unprepared for just how strong Narumi was, but in the ninja world, there was no such thing as fair. Winning was winning, and she had just won against one of the best.
A split second later, nearly forty Anbu surrounded Hiruzen, and Narumi.
"Narumi Namikaze! You are under arrest for attacking one of the Sannin." One of the Anbu shouted.
"Hm... come and try." Narumi shouted back, as her eyes glowed wildly and more of Susano'o began to take form around her. Narumi's rage was nearing a boiling point. She wanted blood.
"No! Stand down!" Hiruzen ordered, taking notice of the look of vicious rage on Narumi's face. The girl wasn't backing down, she was willing to fight this out. The lack of fear, in this small child, was unlike anything he'd seen before. There was something, malevolent, about her. Something dark, that he had only ever seen once before, in the man that was once his student, Orochimaru. This kind of bloodlust, it was unnatural, and to see it in a small child, shook the elderly Hokage to his core.
"But lord Third... she...?" one of the Anbu started to reply.
"Was just defending herself. Tsunade struck first and tried to attack a civilian, a child of all things. She will be the one who is punished for this, not Narumi. Go find her! I'll deal with this." Hiruzen ordered, in full Hokage mode.
The Anbu didn't think for even a second to disobey and they quickly vanished from the field.
"Smart man." Narumi commented, her glare turning to settle on him.
"I'm sorry for that Narumi. I would not have brought her here, had I know she would react like that." Hiruzen apologized.
"Whatever." Narumi stated as Susano'o vanished and she dropped back to the ground, returning to her meditation.
"The council and the Hokage would like you to join the academy, to become a ninja." Hiruzen informed her, after a moment of silence.
"Not interested." Narumi replied.
"You don't want to be a ninja?" Hiruzen asked, sounding a little shocked.
"No... I do want to be a ninja. Just not a Leaf ninja. I sent a letter to the Fire capital a couple of days ago. They'll be sending out one of their Jonin to deliver me my Ronin license. Afterwards I'm out of here." Narumi informed him, not hiding the smirk on her face as she did.
"Ronin? Wait you're leaving? You can't!" Hiruzen stated, shocked to his core by this revelation.
"And why not? My father seems dead set on Naruko becoming clan leader. So, I don't need to be here for that. I'm still a civilian so the council can't order me around. And once I get a Ronin license, I'm free to go wherever I want so long as I don't cause trouble." Narumi told him matter of factually, still unable to stop grinning.
"But... the village..." Hiruzen began but was cut off by a snort from Narumi.
"The village hates me. Most either don't give a shit about me or think I'm the fox. I've never received any respect from any of them. They've even tried to kill me on occasion. I'm the lord of the Uchiwa clan, I will not be stepped upon by such worthless commoners." Narumi spat, channeling her grandfather for a brief moment.
"The Uchiwa? How do you know of them Narumi?" Hiruzen asked.
"I'm a direct descendant of them. Why wouldn't I know of them?' Narumi replied.
"Few people do. How much of their history do you know?" Hiruzen inquired, eying her curiously.
"I know that the Uchiwa were one of a number of clans that possessed the Sharingan. I also know that about three hundred years ago, my great, great, great some odd grandfather led a bloody conquest to unite all of the Sharingan wielding clans under one banner. When he was finished, all of the clans were either destroyed or united under the banner Uchiha. My grandfather was the last lord of the Uchiwa, and though he was cast out of the Uchiha, they couldn't remove him as the head of the Uchiwa." Narumi replied with pride.
"Cast out? You can't mean... no! You're... you're his grandchild?" Hiruzen sputtered out as a look of pure horror shot across his face. Narumi's response was a menacing grin, along with opening her eyes to reveal her EMS.
"How?" Hiruzen asked.
"That's unimportant. Just know that I have been named lord of the Uchiwa and when the time comes, I will be taking all that is theirs with me, when I leave." Narumi informed him with an ominous glint in her eyes.
"You can't. There is no Uchiwa anymore, and Itachi is clan leader." Hiruzen told the girl.
"Yes, but as part of the joining of our families years ago, any descendant of the heads of the individual clans like I am for the Uchiwa, may declare independence, and there are only two courses of action at that point. Itachi can fight me to maintain the Uchiwa's power within the clan, and we both know he won't do that. Itachi's smart, he knows the chance of him losing to me is too great, and if he does lose, not only does he lose the Uchiwa, but I become ruler of the Uchiha. And once he knows of my intentions to leave, he won't risk me beating him and leaving his severely weakened family, penniless, and homeless." Narumi informed the Hokage in such a way that the old man couldn't help but whither beneath her knowledge.
"I believe in chess, they refer to this, as a checkmate." Narumi said with a smile.
"You do know that Itachi wasn't at full power last you fought?" Hiruzen tried to threaten.
"True, but I studied under Itachi for a short time. I know some of his powers. Itachi shines at Genjutsu, but with my Sharingan his most powerful Genjutsu are worthless against me. Therefore, one of his greatest strengths is useless against me. So, no matter what, Itachi will be fighting with a handicap, and unlike him, I don't spam Genjutsu. He also can't use his enhanced Sharingan, without risking blindness, I however don't have that problem. Not to mention I have more than five times the chakra that Itachi does. He can still put up a fight, and he'd probably beat me, but his chances aren't good enough for him to risk it. Besides, the Uchiha are beyond rich, even if I ended up taking half of the clan's assets, so what? Less than a sixth of them are left. They still wouldn't want for anything. So... your threats are hollow old man." Narumi explained to him.
Hiruzen couldn't argue with the girl. She knew her opponent, and she was fully capable of facing Itachi. She was definitely hyping herself up, but her confidence was convincing. Her chances of actually beating Itachi were far lower than she insinuated, but there still existed the chance that she could beat him, and that said a lot.
"Please... Narumi, the village was wrong. Give them a chance to correct their mistakes. Stay, and I promise things will get better." Hiruzen tried to bargain.
"Oh, I'm sure they would. This whole village would be wandering around kissing my ass, bunch of fucking hypocrites." Narumi muttered before shaking her head.
Hiruzen stared at the girl for a few moments, obvious sadness present on his face. He was saddened that such a little girl, had such little trust for her home.
"Very well. I will pass on this info to the Hokage, and the council." Hiruzen told her as he turned to walk away.
"You do that. And tell the Anbu to hide better. I don't mind them spying but if I keep catching glimpses of those fucking masks, I'm gonna start settling some accounts." Narumi threatened, as she went back to meditating.
Hiruzen nodded and departed.
(End flashback)
"Wow." Remus stated.
"Yeah. I got the whole story from Lord Third. The council wasn't happy when they heard." Kakashi informed his friend with a chuckle.
"So? What did they do?" Remus inquired.
"They sent a team of Anbu to bring her to the council chambers." Kakashi replied.
"What happened?" Remus asked.
"She left two in comas, one lost his hand, one will never have children, and another is going to require thirty surgeries to get his face looking even remotely close to human again." Kakashi replied with a grimace, causing Remus to grimace as well.
"How did that sit with Minato?" Remus asked after a moment.
"There was nothing he could do. Those Anbu tried to force a civilian to do something against her will, which is illegal. Therefore, Narumi had every right to defend herself. Now we're down five Anbu, with no idea how many will be able to stay ninja." Kakashi explained.
"I see." Remus stated as he went back to looking at Narumi. He couldn't get over the feeling within him. The wolf was howling at him to flee or submit, there was obviously an Alpha nearby, and Remus suspected it was Narumi.
"Gentlemen." Both men turned to see an Anbu standing behind them.
"Yes?" Kakashi inquired.
"If you wouldn't mind. Could you offer your assistance? The council and Hokage has asked for lady Narumi's presence, and I don't wish for a confrontation." The Anbu inquired, both men could tell he was uneasy with the prospect of approaching Narumi.
"Okay. Just follow my lead, and if she gets violent back down immediately." Kakashi ordered, as he let out a sigh.
"Care to join us?" He asked Remus.
"Sure." Remus accepted as the three walked out into the windy field to speak to Narumi.
"Narumi?" Kakashi stated as they approached.
"Yes?" Narumi asked in a calm voice.
"The council wishes to speak with you. Could you come with us, please?" Kakashi asked kindly. Remus and the Anbu both readied to run like hell if her reply was negative.
Narumi let out an audible sigh before standing, and glancing at them, the Sharingan present in her eyes. "Fine."
"Oh... good. Well let's go." Kakashi stated with an eye smile.
"Hi uncle Remus." Narumi greeted him with a tired look.
"Hey kiddo. How're you doing?" Remus asked as she walked up to him. He offered her a hug, which she gladly accepted.
"I'm tired. I can't wait to leave this place." Narumi replied.
"I still can't believe that you're leaving." Kakashi muttered as the four walked back towards the village.
"Yeah. I'm sorry Kakashi, but I can't stay here. I keep waking up thinking I'm gonna see him again, that Shisui will come back from his mission today and we'll get to spend time together. It's happened three times already, and each time I feel awful. It sucks too much. And I don't think I can spend very much longer here, without doing something that will force my sperm donor to kill me." Narumi stated with a shake of her head, her words earning a nod of understanding from Kakashi. He could tell she was still struggling with Shisui's death.
"Hey! Language young lady. You are the leader of a very old house. The leader of the Uchiwa should not be so uncouth." Remus chastised her, causing her to grin, and giggle.
"Sorry uncle Remus." Narumi apologized.
"So... any plans for where you're going?" Remus asked.
"First to the Fire Capital to meet with the goblins and get an idea of what the Uchiwa assets are. Then maybe go exploring, until I'm eleven." Narumi replied.
"Eleven?" Kakashi stated curiously.
"Are you planning to enroll in a magical school?" Remus inquired.
"Yeah, not sure which. Maybe one of the ones in Europe. I hear they're the oldest." Narumi responded, with a thoughtful look.
"Well, I personally know the headmaster of Hogwarts. That's where I went to school. I could put in a good word." Remus offered.
"Hm... maybe. Hogwarts headmaster is Dumbledore right? He's been here a few times to talk to the Fourth. He was always kind to me when we spoke." Narumi mused.
"He's a very kind man. Some call him the leader of the Light. He led the fight against Voldemort in the last war. I'm sure he'd be happy to have you at Hogwarts." Remus told her with a smile.
"We'll see. I'll have to get out there and find an area I like." Narumi replied.
"Well, you can always come with me if you like." Remus offered.
"Yeah... I could do that too. Hmm... we'll see." Narumi added happily as they made their way to the council chambers.
A couple of minutes passed by before Narumi and the others arrived at the Leaf council chambers. On one side sat the civilian's leaders, there was about thirty of them. On the other side, were the shinobi, also thirty. Between the two sides sat the Hokage and the four elders. Homura, Utatane, Danzo, and Hiruzen.
Narumi spotted the two sannin Jiraiya and Tsunade standing on either side of Minato. Tsunade looked timid, and didn't meet the girl's gaze, she was probably still reeling from losing so easily to the young Namikaze. Jiraiya however was studying her intently, she hadn't seen the man in over a year. He always came back for Naruko's birthday, but since she wasn't around for it this time she must have missed him. While Jiraiya did focus on Naruko he was never mean to Narumi, and always brought her presents and stuff. She guessed that he had to leave before he could find her, which was why she hadn't seen him this year.
Narumi also spotted Itachi sitting in the Uchiha clan seat, he was eying her intently, though he was being more inconspicuous about it then Jiraiya.
The rest of the people present were either indifferent, angered, or afraid of her presence.
Narumi also took note of a man with a fire symbol on his headband standing to the side.
"So has my license arrived?" Narumi asked as she looked at the man.
Hearing her speak the man nodded. "Yes my lady it has. I do however need you to pass the standardized application test. I need to make sure you have the abilities of a Fire sponsored Ronin." The man told her as he stepped forward.
"Alright what do you need me to do?" Narumi asked.
"Wait! Before you do that, we have something we need to discuss." Minato stated.
"Of course my lord. Please be quick about it though. I do need to get back soon." The man said with a bow as he stepped back.
"I already told you I didn't want to be a Leaf ninja. So what's the point of me being here?" Narumi asked.
"You will speak with respect to this council child!" Utatane snapped at her, causing Tsunade to flinch as she felt her own voice echo through Utatane's.
"Respect is earned. You have not." Narumi replied simply.
"Do you know who you are talking to young lady?" a blonde haired woman on the civilian side shouted at her.
"Oh look... a woman who doesn't know any better." Narumi parroted out with an amused look in her eyes causing a few people to chuckle at her.
"You brat!" The woman shouted but she was dropped instantly with killing intent from Minato.
"Enough! I did not ask her here to insult her." Minato delivered a reprimand from one moronic blond to another, the thought made Narumi snicker.
"Why am I here?" Narumi asked.
"You are here to be enrolled into the Shinobi academy." Danzo informed her.
"Ha... hell no!" Narumi growled at him.
"You are still my child Narumi. I decide what is best for you. You are going to the ninja academy. You are coming home. And you are going to cease with this rebellious behavior." Minato told her with a stern look in his eyes.
"Yes Narumi... it's time to come home darling." Narumi heard her mother's voice. She glanced over to see her in the Namikaze clan seat, since Minato couldn't hold it, due to being Hokage.
"Um... no." Narumi said again.
"You have no choice girl." Danzo said with a smirk. "You are still too young to make choices for yourself, the Daimyo agrees with us. You will join the academy and become a Leaf ninja. And down the line, perhaps we will activate the CRA for you. You obviously appear to have a heightened version of the Sharingan, which I believe constitutes the laws activation."
"No!" Lily shouted at him. "I want my daughter back, but I am not letting you or anyone turn her into some sort of baby making factory!"
"We are not activating the CRA for my daughter Danzo. That is final!" Minato said in a tone that allowed zero argument.
"Very well Lord Hokage. Having her here will be enough." Danzo responded.
The moment she heard Danzo's threat, Narumi felt her hackles rise. Even if her parents had shot it down, the idea of her being turned into a baby making factory, caused her blood to run cold. Her Sharingan began to blaze the moment the threat was made, and all of the shinobi felt themselves tense as they spotted it's activation.
Danzo stared back at her with cold, unsympathetic eyes. His gaze was chilling as Narumi glared right at him. Slowly, her lips began to pull back, as a snarl spread across her face, her aura darkened immensely, and those that could actually sense her chakra, found themselves sweating at the unnatural malevolence of her energy. It was a darkness that few recognized, or understood. While Danzo remained completely impassive, his gaze never left her as she glared at him.
Minato observed the interaction with concern. Narumi's visage was entirely unlike that of a child's. She appeared like a predator, like a beast starved for blood. The tension in the room was palpable, if something didn't break it soon, Narumi would almost certainly do something foolish. Minato was about to speak, when suddenly Narumi broke the silence.
"You." Narumi stated pointing at the Fire Jonin.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Send a message to Gringotts in the Fire capital. Tell them to send out one of their goblins with an inheritance test. I will prove to these people that 'I' am the 'leader' of a family. And then I'm going to kick the shit out of him!" She said pointing at Itachi, "To get its independence, then I'm leaving the Land of Fire. Tell the fire Daimyo that he will be losing the Uchiwa family."
"We already told you. You aren't going anywhere." Homura stated in a matter-of-fact voice.
"Actually, she claims to be the ruler of a family. That means that she has a right to prove it. This supersedes Leaf jurisdiction. You have no say in this matter. I will get a representative from Gringotts here to prove the validity of her claim. If she is in fact the ruler of a family, that makes her emancipated. Which in turn means the one and only claim to her, as her parents, is null and void." The Fire Jonin stated as he wrote on a scroll, and then summoned a hawk, and sent it out the window.
"This cannot be allowed. This girl is Leaf property." Danzo bit out.
"I told you. You have no say. The only ones here who have any control over her since she is a civilian, is her parents, and if she is the ruler of a family, then she is emancipated, which means they have no say over her. And if she wants to take her family and leave, she can freely handle that within the boundaries of the Uchiha clan and its oaths. Oaths made by the Uchiha Clan specifically, only hold weight to the parts of the clan that claim themselves a part of the Uchiha. If she chooses to separate the Uchiwa from the Uchiha, then that matter must be settled within the confines of the Clan itself. If they do separate that also separates the Uchiwa from all oaths, alliances, and agreement made by the Uchiha, which includes oaths of loyalty, service or protection, made by, or for them. And because it is a clan affair, you also have no say in it. If this girl is telling the truth and is in fact the ruler of the Uchiwa family, then the Daimyo is going to be very upset. The Uchiwa are a Most Ancient and Most Noble family. To have their status reactivated, and then taken from the Land of Fire? That does not bode well for the Leaf." The Fire Jonin explained. Many in the room began to shift uncomfortably, to anger the Daimyo was never a good idea, and he would be even more pissed since they already went to him to assure their rights over the girl.
"Narumi... please. We want you to come home. We're sorry for what happened." Lily told the girl.
"Save it. I'm done with this village and its shit. You best hope I'm right. Cuz if I'm not, I'm still leaving, it's just going to be a lot messier." Narumi said as her Mangekyou appeared in her eyes and began to spin menacingly.
"We'll have word tomorrow. I must have this matter come to a close for today until the goblin representative arrives." The fire Jonin informed everyone, since he knew anything further, that any parties tried to do, might be illegal.
"He is right Minato. This meeting is finished." Hiruzen whispered as he took a drag from his pipe.
Minato stared at his eldest daughter caught between anger and sadness.
"Well unless there's anything else, bye!" Narumi said with a smile as she Shunshined away.
-Later-
Narumi was walking through the village with a bored look on her face. She didn't really have a destination; she was just going wherever her feet took her.
"You know... you're a bitch." She heard someone say. Narumi turned and saw her one and only sister standing to the side, with two girls on either side of her, one was a Yamanaka, and the other had bright pink hair.
"I'm sorry did you say something?" Narumi muttered mimicking Kakashi as she picked at her ear.
"I said that you're a bitch." Naruko growled as she took a threatening step forward. At eight Naruko was a spitting image of Minato. Besides the three whisker marks on either side of her face, she could pass for a younger female version of him. She was Narumi's exact opposite. Loud, Brash, brightly colored, above average intellect, a genius when it came to magic and ninjutsu, but nowhere near Narumi's level. Her bright blonde hair was tied into two ponytails, like Tsunade's that hung down to her lower back.
"Ah, that's what I thought you said. Now let me rebuke your statement with an intelligent one. You're a jackass." Narumi fired back.
"You know nothing about me. I'm going to be the most powerful ninja in the village. So, you'd best be careful, cuz I might surprise you one day." Naruko challenged her sister.
"You know what? Surprise me now." Narumi ordered.
"What?" Naruko chirped with a look of surprise.
"Yeah, surprise me, say something intelligent." Narumi said with a smirk.
"You're just angry that mom and dad love me more. You know they never wanted you? I was always the favorite." Naruko shot at her, aiming to rile Narumi up.
Narumi however, was used to this argument. She had, had it a million times before, and whenever Narumi managed to actually hurt Naruko's feelings she would run off to cry to Minato and Lily, and Narumi would be the one to get in trouble for it. Even if she didn't start the argument.
"You know... you're right." Narumi said with a smile.
"... what?" Naruko asked, taken aback by this turn.
"Yeah... you always were the favorite. I'm sure Minato and Lily would have been happy with just you. After all, you're the girl-who-lived... I just hope Voldemort is really dead, otherwise, he'll be coming back for you." Narumi told her with a wicked grin. She watched all three girls seize up at the thought of that monster coming back.
"So... so what? If he comes back, I'll just beat him again." Naruko tried to sound brave, but the stuttering made her fail in the attempt.
"Oh yeah? How?" Narumi asked with a smirk.
"Well... I'll just use my awesome ninjutsu." Naruko told her sister.
"Oh really? Which one?" Narumi asked again, her smirk growing bigger.
"Hmph... I don't need to tell you! I hope you do leave, that way mom and dad don't have to think about you anymore." Naruko shouted at her before turning with her two friends to leave.
"Hmm... already planning on it dear sister. Hopefully we won't meet again." Narumi said with a cruel smirk, causing Naruko to stop in her tracks to contemplate that statement. She was about to turn around to say something, but Narumi had already vanished.
Naruko stared at where she had been for several moments, the idea of never seeing her sister again, filling her with sadness. A few seconds passed before she shook her head and stormed off. She knew full well that Narumi wasn't going anywhere. Her parents would fix this and force her to come home, and they could be a family again, and Narumi could stop with this rebellious streak.
-The next day-
Narumi stood in the council room. The goblin representative had arrived by portkey. He stood in the center of the room eying the council wearily. Most held neutral looks, but some had sneers on their faces.
"Okay let's do this." Narumi said.
"Yes, let's get this over with." The goblin agreed as he pulled out a bowl and a small knife.
"Cut your hand and let the blood fall into the bowl." The goblin, whose name was Gnarltooth, ordered her.
"Are you sure you wish..." Minato began but was cut off by the goblin's glare.
"Please be silent Lord Hokage. The only reason this Inheritance test is taking place in public is to confirm her validity to the claim of the Uchiwa. That is the only reason you are seeing it, anything else that comes from this test is confidential so be silent." The goblin snapped. Causing a few ninja to glare, but Minato simply nodded knowing it was better to not pick a fight with a Gringotts goblin.
Narumi cut her hand and let her blood fall into the bowl, after it was sufficiently full, she felt magic from the knife heal her hand. She offered a polite smile as she passed the knife back to the goblin. Whom took it and placed it back in his bag.
A few quiet moments went by before Gnarltooth pulled out a piece of paper and dipped it into the bowl. The paper drank all of her blood, absorbing it. A few moments later, black letters began to appear on the paper.
"Itachi Uchiha please confirm what this says as head of her clan." Gnarltooth ordered. Itachi quickly went to the goblin and read over the test.
Name:
Narumi Namikaze Slytherin Uchiwa
Sex:
Female
Titles:
Uchiwa clan head by Magical passing (Paternal)
Slytherin by Conquest
Heir of:
Namikaze (Paternal)
Uzumaki (Paternal)
Uchiha 3rd in line (Paternal)
Ravenclaw (Maternal)
Black (Godfather)
Senju (Unverified)
Itachi read the whole thing to the people of the room. Narumi had to smirk at the Slytherin by Conquest part. She knew how she earned that title. Though it didn't surprise her that none of the people present, had realized the truth. In fact, she only knew Voldemort was the Slytherin Lord because he was currently the only person in the world she had killed. She knew that the Dark Lord did many things in the name of Salazar Slytherin but she had no clue if he ever told people he was actually related to the man.
It did surprise her that her mother was a descendant of Rowina Ravenclaw though. Especially considering her mother was a Gryffindor. She also was curious about Black. She knew her godfather was Sirius Black, but she thought he was in Azkaban, apparently it was determined that he fed information to Kumo ninja during the Third Great Ninja War that led to the death of Obito. Of course, they knew Obito was alive now, but that didn't change the fact that at the time Minato and Lily were on the war path, both planning to kill Sirius for what he'd done to Minato.
Apparently, Sirius had been caught shortly after he killed a bunch of civilians in London along with another of Lily's friends Peter Pettigrew. To stop Minato from tearing the country apart, the Ministry in Britain tossed Sirius into prison, and threw away the key.
The other curious one was the Senju but Madara whispered in her mind that, the Uzumaki were distantly related to the Senju and that his wife, her grandmother, was an Uzumaki.
"Awesome... so Itachi... duel now or tomorrow?" Narumi asked with a mad glint in her eyes.
"I'm afraid I'll have to decline. I feel there is no need for a duel and allow the head of the Uchiwa clan to leave, with my blessing." Itachi informed Narumi as he handed her Inheritance test to the goblin.
"Really?" Narumi asked.
"Yes. I won't force you to remain in this village. Know that even though you may hate me, I still can't help but think of you as a friend. You and the Uchiwa, are free to leave. And you go with my blessing." Itachi told her with a smile.
"Thanks Itachi. This means a lot to me. You're not there yet. But maybe one day, I can call you friend again." Narumi told him offering her own smile.
"How can this be? Shouldn't Minato be the next leader to the Uchiwa, and how in the hell is this girl the head of Slytherin?" Tsunade asked.
"Obviously she killed the last lord of Slytherin house. And she was chosen by the previous Lord of the Uchiwa. It doesn't matter if her father came first, just like he may choose her little sister to take the role of leader of the Namikaze so can his Father choose her... and he did. Now that this is settled, is there anything else?" Gnarltooth asked.
"Yes... could you please do an Audit of the Uchiwa estate. Find out all I own. And could the goblins prepare me a portkey out of the Land of Fire to somewhere in Europe, when they get a chance?" Narumi asked.
"Of course, we'll have it done by the time you arrive in the capital lady Narumi." Gnarltooth said with a nod.
"Good. Can we go to one of the training fields so I can take my ronin test?" Narumi asked the Fire Jonin.
"Of course, my lady." The Fire Jonin said with a bow.
"Well... all I can say is later bitches!" Narumi said to the council as she Shunshined away.
All the council could do was keep replaying the names of all those titles that Narumi possessed, the Daimyo was going to have them all killed.
