Okay time for some fun in Europe! I'm going to gloss over a lot of the three years, since not a whole lot will happen. Mostly training, exploring and maybe a potential romance. Should be fun. Hopefully will be at Hogwarts within a chapter or two. Anyway read and review. Still want to hear about Hermione, as I'm going to wait until I actually introduce her, before deciding.
Update: K so S0LaRSpaZZ pointed some stuff out to me about Riley's age. so I'll start to correct it here. Riley was born on October Tenth, like Naruto. I did the math wrong making her ten when she got into Hogwarts rather then eleven, so I'm going through and correcting her age. there is a time skip in this chapter, I'm just going to expand it, so that Riley is the correct age. Just for those that are confused. Riley's birthday is just after the school year starts, so she'll almost immediately be a year older then her classmates. so in first year, she'll only be eleven for a month or so, then she'll be twelve, got it?
Broken Angel
Chapter 6: It's About Time!
Narumi was staring out her window, looking out at the city of Berlin. Remus and she had just arrived a day ago, and quickly found a nice hotel to stay at. Narumi was still giddy from all the changes that had occurred in the last day. She was now rich, as it turned out that a lot of the Uchiwa assets were tied into the land of Lightning, which is where they hailed from, so Narumi had the goblins go and clean out all of her properties and then sell the estates to the Land of Lightning. Lucky for the Uchiha, the Uchiwa only claimed about 15% of their assets which was still a decent chunk of change. And Narumi also had access to the Slytherin funds, all she had to do was get into contact with the Gringotts branch in Britain to transfer over the funds. Turns out with all of the moneys combined she had roughly ninety-five million galleons worth of funds, at least according to Remus.
Narumi was surprised when they got to Berlin, and she spotted a globe. She immediately tried to find the Elemental Nations on it, but to no avail. Sensing her question Remus told her that a lot like Avalon, the Elemental Nations had been hidden with magic. When asked how, Remus said that no one knows for sure, but that the shinobi claim it was the Sage of Six Paths that had done it. Now only magical beings could locate either place, though the Elemental Nations were a lot easier to find than Avalon, since no one had seen that place since the time of Merlin and King Arthur.
According to Remus the Elemental Nations actually sat off the coast of China, and that the only way to find it was to take a hidden path in Japan that led there. The path wasn't so hidden that magicals had a hard time finding it, but muggles did. They would never be able to locate the entrance no matter what they did.
Another huge change was when Narumi dropped her Namikaze name, she also chose to take a new one. She wanted to keep hold of her old one so as not to forget who she was, but for all intents and purposes she was a new person. So, after spending for freaking ever trying to come up with a new name, Remus decided for her.
(Flashback)
"Gah! Why is this so fucking hard?" Narumi whined as she tried to think of a name she liked.
"Not as easy as you thought it would be, is it?" Remus asked with an amused chuckle.
"Well... I'm not hearing you offer any suggestions." Narumi fired back at him.
"Hm... alright... how about Riley?" Remus asked.
"Riley? You want to name me after Ayame's dog?" Narumi replied.
"Well actually, the name is of Irish origin, it can mean either rye clearing, or courageous. If you recall, I'm the one who suggested it to Ayame in the first place. So why not? It's simple, easy to remember, it's unisex so people won't think it's girly. I don't see what the problem is." Remus argued.
"Hm... 'courageous'? Riley 'Narumi' Uchiwa Slytherin? Ya know what? I like it! I'll go with Riley." The newly Christened Riley said with a smile.
"Can we proceed?" The goblin sitting across from asked in an annoyed voice. Both Remus and Riley adopted sheepish looks, as they both realized where they were having this long-winded conversation.
(End Flashback) From this point on Narumi will be referred to as Riley which will serve as her name for most of the story.
Riley smiled as she thought of her new name, her new beginning. Remus had questioned her about the name change beforehand. He wanted to know why she wanted to erase her past. Her reply was that she didn't, she still kept the name Narumi, it just wasn't her first any longer. Plus, Riley argued that Narumi was the daughter of the Fourth Hokage, she was the hated child of Konohagakure. Riley was no one. Riley could become anything. She was a blank slate, and that's what she wanted to be, it's why she left in the first place. Yeah, she wanted to escape her neglect, but she also wanted to start anew, and make a name for herself without the negative aspects of the past.
Now she was Riley Narumi Slytherin Uchiwa, head of the Most Ancient and Most Noble houses of Slytherin and Uchiwa. And that's it. From there she could go anywhere and do anything.
"So... any plans on what you want to do first?" She heard Remus ask from behind her.
"Hm... I'm not sure. Maybe we should just explore and see where our feet take us." Riley replied.
"Sounds good to me." Remus replied after a moment of thought.
And with that the two went out to explore Berlin and the surrounding areas, to Riley, this was the life, out in the world, free to do as you please.
-One week Later-
"Now... I need you to stay here for the night alright? It's important that you stay indoors okay." Remus told Riley.
"Remus quit acting like aliens are invading. And stop pretending I don't know where you're going. I've known you were a werewolf since I was six." Riley told him.
Remus let out an audible sigh before giving her a look.
"Fine... I promise I'll stay indoors." Riley relented.
"Good. I left food in the fridge for you. I should be back tomorrow night. Stay safe alright?" Remus told her as he got up to leave.
"Yeah yeah." Riley waived him off as she turned her attention to the TV. She had quickly become addicted to the thing. There were TV's back in the Elemental Nations, but the only things on them was the news. This TV had so many different movies and TV shows, it was awesome.
"Have fun kiddo." Remus said with a smirk as he exited.
-Four hours later-
Riley was awoken by a loud howl in the distance. She walked over to the window and glanced out. She was greeted by the sight of trees, as far as she could see. Her and Remus had left Berlin a day or two ago to get to non-populated areas so Remus wouldn't be a danger to anyone, now Riley was stuck in a crappy motel, just waiting for the day to end.
"I have zero clue what he is so worried about. I mean it's not like even in wolf form he could take me." Riley told herself as she continued to scan the forest.
A moment passed before her eyes caught movement. She spotted someone running towards the motel. She activated her Sharingan to give her a better look, with a clearer picture she saw that the person was a man and he looked like some sort of hiker or like a backpacker.
She wondered for a moment what the hell he was running from when she suddenly heard another howl, this one was louder, and it caused the man to turn and look back into the darkness of the forest as he ran.
Riley glanced into the forest and had to curse at what she saw. There, chasing the man down, was some sort of long-limbed wolf-like creature.
"Dammit Remus... what the hell!? I thought you were locking yourself in a hole in the ground or something!" Riley growled out as she threw open the window and hopped out.
'Idiot must have accidentally stumbled onto poor Remus while he was busy dealing with Moony.' Madara commented.
'Yeah...probably. Well can't let the idiot get mauled. Remus would have a fit.' Riley thought in reply.
"RUN KID!" the man shouted as he spotted her.
Riley ignored him as she locked eyes with Moony.
The man came to a sudden halt when he spotted Riley's blood red eyes, which were glowing in the darkness. Poor man must have thought he had run into a goddamn vampire too.
Moony closed in but slowed as he spotted Riley.
"Run you idiot." Riley ordered the man as she locked eyes with Moony.
Moony watched the man scamper away, but a sharp whistle from Riley drew his attention back to her.
"Did that idiot let you out Moony? You know you're supposed to stay indoors when you're like this." Riley stated. Moony let out a few light growls before whimpering a few times. The werewolf obviously realized it was in the presence of a very powerful magical. Moony remained low to the ground, doing everything to avoid appearing like he was challenging the new alpha.
"Ya know... I'm not quite sure what uncle Remus was so worried about." Riley stated as she stepped closer to the Submissive werewolf.
"You aren't that bad." Riley said with a tilt of her head. Sadly, Moony spotted the movement and saw that her throat was vulnerable. The wolf growled and lunged teeth first at the small girl, though instead of tasting warm blood as the wolf had expected it found a crushing pain in its throat.
"Ah ah... Moony, Remus wouldn't like it if you tried to eat me." Riley chided the wolf with a grin, as she held the large animal by its throat. Riley may not have improved her physical strength that much, but she had improved her use of Tsunade's Superstrength technique, she could now multiply her strength ten times. Now a werewolf has low Jonin level strength. Riley had high genin level Strength, multiplied by ten times, left her with high Chuunin strength. So, while she was still at a disadvantage in strength. She was holding Moony by the throat, that tended to make a creature submissive.
Moony let out a few whines as he tried to pull away from her, but the pressure on his throat was too great, so instead he let his body go limp, a sign of submission.
After a moment Riley threw Moony back a few yards. The wolf growled and shook off its throat injury.
"Now... why don't we go somewhere else and have some fun, eh Moony? Let's go for a run." Riley suggested as she took off.
The wolf perked its ears at her idea, before chasing after her.
-Later-
Remus awoke on the soft grass with quite possibly the worst headache he had ever had. He glanced around and to his horror found he wasn't still in the shed he had chained himself in yesterday. He was sitting in some tiny divot at the base of a tree.
"Feeling alright there Remus?" He heard a familiar voice say from above.
Remus looked up to see Riley perched on a tree branch above him.
"Riley... how?" Remus managed to say as he winced at the sunlight.
"Uh, some asshole stumbled upon your hideout and threw the door open. I saved your wand." Riley replied as she tossed his wand and a wool cloak down to him. Remus graciously accepted both and transfigured the cloak into his normal outfit.
"I didn't...?" Remus asked as Riley hopped down from the tree.
"No, he's alive... and so am I." Riley replied as she gave a little twirl to show that there wasn't even a scratch on her.
Remus let out a sigh of relief at that.
"I'm glad I didn't hurt you." Remus stated after a moment.
"Hey... don't get so worked up... I'm fine, Moony and I just had a little run through the forest... I think we're in west Germany now though." Riley informed him.
"West Germany? How long were we running?" Remus asked.
"I don't know. I think it was like ten when we started and you changed back at around four, so six hours." Riley replied.
Remus simply shook his head in exasperation.
"So... let's go see what kind of fun we can get into." Riley said with a smile as she turned and headed off.
Remus just gave the girl an unamused look before following after her.
-4 Year Timeskip-
-One year passed-
It had been over a year since Riley first went running with Moony, now she did it every time Remus turned, it helped to keep the wolf from hurting people, and Remus was starting to trust in Riley's abilities to keep him from harming anyone. So far there hadn't been a single incident.
Riley could now multiply her strength by twenty times, which meant that she now possessed high Jonin levels of physical strength, which allowed her to physically overpower Moony if she had too. Not to mention her speed was now on par with an Elite Jonin as well. Her abilities continued to soar, and she grew more powerful with each passing day. Remus had argued for waiting to get a wand, since if she learned all of her spells and wand movements now, she wouldn't have anything to do at school, reluctantly she agreed, Remus still taught her spells she just used them wandlessly.
Riley was also hardcore into transfiguration now, because she wanted to become an Animagus. Remus had told her she needed a certain level of skill to be able to do it, so she now devoted all of her time to studying so she could eventually get Remus to teach her how to become one.
Another interesting thing that occurred was that she stumbled upon her ability to use Wood Style. She had been practicing a water and earth combination technique, when she botched it, and it accidentally came out as Wood Style.
Madara explained that Hashirama had given him some of his cells, when he was dying in the Valley of the End, in order to heal him. According to him, the story of his death at the Valley, was a lie told by Hashirama so that Madara could leave and live in peace. Yes, the two did have a legendary battle that created the valley itself, but it was not a battle to settle old grudges the two just wanted to fight again, test themselves at their best, without an audience or spectators to judge the end result. They both fought at their best, and in the end Hashirama won.
Apparently Madara had received the ability to use Wood style after Hashirama's transfusion. And it seems he had passed that ability on to Riley.
So naturally, Riley also worked a lot on that skill as well. She was now a Jonin level healer, and her powers in Ninjutsu, were second to none.
Nine years old, and Riley was probably the strongest person for a thousand miles in any direction.
-One and a half year passed-
Remus and Riley were now in France. The two were busy learning the language and getting to know the people. Riley had taken up bounty hunting in her spare time, she was already starting to earn a name for herself by capturing a few low-level dark wizards, that were wanted by the French Ministry.
Remus had started to teach her more offensive spells, and Riley was quickly becoming a competent fighter using just spells. Her mother's old Charms book didn't hurt either.
Her strength, speed and stamina continued to steadily increase. She was now twice as fast as an Elite Jonin, and she could multiply her strength thirty times. Giving her the strength of a taijutsu master. She could currently crush concrete barriers with her fists, with absolute ease. She was also getting closer and closer to the age where she could begin focusing on physical abilities like her strength. She had also started training with the Wakizashi she had gotten from Shisui. Speaking of Shisui, one day, Remus had asked her what it was that Itachi had given her, that had belonged to Shisui.
Riley had pulled out the old scroll and released its contents which turned out to be a crow. Nothing seemed off with it at first until Remus noticed that it had a Mangekyou Sharingan in one of its eyes. She had told him that the eye belonged to Shisui, and that Itachi had trusted her to keep an eye on it and keep it away from the Elemental Nations.
The two kept in regular contact with Kakashi and Itachi, who kept them up to date on the goings on in the village. Riley also received a lot of letters from Lily and Minato. she would mostly toss them aside only to read them later on, they were simple asking how she was doing and wishing her well, never more in depth or intrusive then that.
Riley had also taken time to learn the abilities she had gotten from Kakashi and her father. As she suspected they were both men's signature techniques the Rasengan, and the Chidori. She suspected that both men, or at least Minato had thought it would be a few years before Riley could make any headway with such techniques, but she was determined to learn them, and add such powerful abilities to her growing list of powers. A part of her did wonder why Minato had given her the technique, given his past reactions to her abilities, and a part of her began to suspect that someone else had gotten involved.
One day she decided to examine the handwriting of both scrolls containing information on the Chidori and the Rasengan, and while the handwriting was indeed different, a part of her couldn't help but notice that the instructions for both techniques, followed a similar pattern, and more importantly, a similar inflection. Now, of course, Minato had been Kakashi's teacher, and had taught him much of what he knew, so there was always the possibility that Riley was overthinking things, but a part of her couldn't shake the idea that it was Kakashi who had been the one to pass on the secrets of the Rasengan, and in that case, he may have also stolen Lily's old Charms book. If Riley was right, it was probably his way of trying to mend the gap between her, and her parents. She didn't know if she was right, and at this point, it didn't really matter. It was just something that stood out to her, a thought that caught her attention.
She learned both abilities with gusto, and quickly set about to master them. She had made some progress with the Chidori, but the Rasengan was still giving her issues. She now understood why her father hadn't completed the technique, the damn thing was temperamental with pretty much every element.
During this time, Riley had also begun to undergo some more... intimate changes. She noticed that she was growing taller, and her chest was beginning to develop more. Asking Remus about it, the man sputtered something nonsensical and then got her a book. She read it and it explained that she was beginning to go through puberty.
After memorizing everything the book had to say she spent about an hour trying to hit Remus with it, because he was too much of a wuss to just tell her this himself.
-Two years passed-
Riley was ten years old now, her hair was now down to her lower back and still as deep blackish red, as it could be. She was now four and a half feet tall, and she was blossoming into a beautiful young lady. She was developing quickly, much quicker than most girls her age. She looked to be closer to twelve or thirteen, then ten.
Remus suspected that in terms of abilities she was now at the same level as a Jonin. Just with more chakra and far less experience. Remus had told her that they would begin her Animagus training after the next full moon, and Riley couldn't be more excited.
Two Years, One Month passed-
Riley had just taken the potion to see what her Animagus form was. She was currently experiencing a rather trippy dream sequence and all she could make out of her form, as it walked over what looked like giant ant hills, was that it had Blackish red fur, like her hair, its hand/claws, had opposable thumbs, and she walked on all fours. It also had an elongated nose/mouth like a dog. Also, she heard a boom with each one of her steps. She had no clue what that could possibly mean.
She had told Remus, and he seemed just as confused as she was. She asked Madara, who hummed curiously in reply. So, Riley set to work trying to figure out her form.
-Two years, Three Months passed-
She had done it... she knew what her form was, and man did it scare the hell out of her. It was a fox, more specifically a giant fox. After reflecting on her dream, she realized that the 'ant hills' she was stepping over, were just hills, like hill, hills. Her form must have been like three hundred feet tall, if her math was right.
After talking it over with Remus and Madara, they both came to the conclusion that holding the Nine Tails' spirit, must have caused her body to adapt an Animagus form based on it.
Well, now that she knew, she could begin her training.
-Two years, six months passed-
"Alright... you ready this time? I think you almost have it." Remus stated.
Riley nodded, as she slipped back into a deep concentration, after a moment she willed the magic in her body to change her, she felt her limbs shift and stretch. She felt fur grow on her skin, and she felt herself grow larger. This was probably the twentieth try today, and she would be damned if she went another day without getting this down.
Suddenly she heard Remus chuckle and clap. She opened her eyes, to see that she had to look down at him. She glanced down at her body and realized that she had in fact done it. She had taken her Animagus form. Right now, it wasn't at its full height, but for all intents and purposes she had done it. She was now a seven-foot-tall fox that looked like a smaller, wilder version of the Nine Tails, also she noticed that she didn't have any tails. Not even a little nub back there. Mentally scowling and promising to fix it later, she went back to admiring herself.
"Great job Riley. Amazingly well done!" Remus congratulated her.
All Riley could do in reply was give a very fox-like grin.
'Good job kid. Now you can go back to Konoha and really scare the hell outta people.' Madara commented, causing Riley to snicker at the thought.
'Now you just have to work on those tails.' Madara commented, causing Riley to scowl a bit, and get back to work.
-Three years passed-
It was amazing. She had just gotten her Hogwarts letter. She was so happy, it did kind of suck since her birthday was after the school year started, so she had to wait an extra year, but she would manage. She just filled her time with bounty hunting and training. She managed to make a minor name for herself capturing Dark wizards and even putting down a few. It was good work, and it kept a nice flow of income coming in.
-Almost four years passed- August.
It was two weeks till Hogwarts started so Remus and her were packing up their stuff and heading to Britain. Riley was taking one last stroll around the city that had become home to her. Remus and her were still in France, actually they weren't all that far from Beauxbatons all witches' school. Riley had thought of attending but their school seemed a little too girly for her.
Also, she was more than a little disgruntled at her current appearance. Last full moon her and Moony went out for a run, she went in her Animagus form, which Moony responded better too, (which still didn't have any tails, for reasons that confounded Riley) and while on that run, both of them had caught Lice!
Now cutting Remus's hair was fine, and he kept it short anyway, but Riley had to cut her hair short too, and for some reason the lice they had gotten, were magical or something like that and wouldn't come out, so she now had her hair cut short, and Remus still hadn't stopped joking that she was the prettiest boy in all the lands.
He told her that with the chest wrappings she wore, along with her short hair, she could easily pass for a little boy. It mostly had to do with that fact that her voice was deeper for a girl, and because of how tall she was, that it made her appear slightly more masculine. Oh, the woes of teenage years.
Hell, she had even received letters from Kakashi and Itachi poking fun at her hair, she swore she would get back at Remus, the first chance she got.
What really pissed Riley off though, was that it took her hair forever to grow. Seriously, she probably only had a grand total of three haircuts in her life, counting this one.
So now she was stuck wandering the city saying her goodbyes to it before leaving in the morning.
As she walked, she heard a woman's scream. Ever since taking her Animagus form, her hearing, and smell had become incredibly sensitive. She could seriously smell a fly fart from a mile away. And she could hear people shouting from over a block away in a busy street.
She stopped and listened for the sound again, trying to pinpoint it. She focused her sense of hearing and tried to locate the scream. Riley had a thing about hurting women. She didn't let that kind of thing go unanswered.
She heard it again, this time she was able to pinpoint it. She quickly headed in that direction.
A moment passed by before she arrived at a back alley. There, she found six men who looked like they were about to rape two girls. Both girls were blondes, one looked to be thirteen, fourteen, while the other looked to be about eight or so, definitely younger than Riley.
"No! Please let her go!" Riley could hear the older girl shouting for the younger to be set free. One man had the little girl pinned to the ground and he was giving the older girl a cruel smile as he, almost delicately ran his hand along the little girl's rear.
The younger child was crying for her mother, Riley could tell she was beyond terrified.
"Let us see what Veela pussy tastes like." One of the men stated as he pulled a knife and stepped towards the older girl. The older blonde suddenly adopted a look of terror, and tried to struggle for freedom, but to no avail, a man held her from behind, and from what Riley could see, there looked to be some sort of rope around her hands that was glowing green with magic.
The youngest girl started screaming for her papa to wake up. Riley glanced over and spotted a man, lying about fifteen yards further down the alley, there was some blood coming out of the back of his head, he looked to have been struck from behind.
"You play nice now." One of the men whispered into the older girl's ear, "You do... and we may let her go."
At hearing that, the older girl started to cry, but she stopped struggling.
The man smirked as he slowly started to cut the older girl's shirt with his knife.
The other three men were fiddling with their wands, grinning lecherously at the older girl.
The girl tried to look brave, but she was having immense trouble, she didn't let her eyes leave the younger girl though who was still crying. She watched the man on top of her reach down to caress her again, but this time he never made contact.
The older girl watched as the man on top of her sister had his head taken off by what looked like a Reducto. She watched as the alley was showered in blood, bones, and gray matter.
Despite the nature of the gory death, a part of the young woman's heart leaped for joy at the sight of her assailant's death.
The little girl felt the man fall off of her. She quickly shot up and turned to run, not noticing what had happened to him. When she did, she spotted her salvation, a young person was walking towards them with a furious look on their face. The young girl didn't have to think about it, she ran towards her savior.
She ran into the person, and clung to them, they couldn't be much older than she was.
"Hey! What the hell?" One of the men shouted as they saw their headless buddy's corpse.
All the men turned and spotted Riley walking towards them, the crying younger girl was clinging to her.
"You little bitch..." One man began to shout but he never finished as a kunai lodged itself in his forehead before he even saw it coming.
The other four men moved back behind the older girl, intent on using her as a human shield.
"Not one step closer, or this little bitch gets it!" The man who held the older girl, shouted at Riley.
The older girl watched in a mixture of fascination and terror, as her young savior's eyes glowed red and suddenly the man who held her, released her and started screaming in agony for a few moments before collapsing.
The older girl didn't waste any time, she ran towards her savior just as she heard the men behind her start to shout out spells. She saw her savior raise a single hand, while her other held the young girl close, that hand then became a blur of motion, "Wood Style: Blossoming Cactus technique." Her savior stated, and the older girl saw something shoot out of the girl's, leg and into the ground, then she heard the men behind her scream in pain.
She glanced back to see some sort of round wooden object sticking out of the ground and jutting out of it were long pointy wooden spikes, that pierced the men in multiple places. After a moment, the spikes retracted, and the object sank into the ground.
A moment passed before all of her remaining assailants collapsed to the ground, dead from their injuries. As they died, the magickly conjured ropes that kept the girl's hands bound, disappeared.
"Fleur!" The younger girl shouted as she dove at her sister.
Fleur pulled her sister into a tight hug, as she let out a few pained sobs. She glanced up at her savior only to find them missing. She looked around and spotted them kneeling over her father, some sort of greenish glow coming from their hand.
After a moment their savior finished what they were doing and stood to look over at them.
"I've healed his wounds. He'll wake soon. You three should get out of here. I read one of their minds. These men were sent to kill you three." Riley stated in French. In reality she had just used Tsukuyomi on the man holding Fleur and tortured the info out of him.
"Why?" Fleur asked.
"Your father here." Riley responded pointing at the man. "He's the head of the Law enforcement group here in France, right? He's been cracking down on these guys and they don't like it."
Fleur stared at Riley for a moment before nodding.
"Thank you... thank you so much." Fleur finally stated as fresh tears fell from her eyes.
Riley stared back for a moment before offering her a smile.
"Hey... I'd never abandon a girl in need." Riley replied, the genuine nature of her smile causing a reaction within the older Veela's heart. Fleur stared at Riley for a moment, the smile on her face, something about it just filled Fleur with confidence and happiness. She felt a warmth spread through her chest at the sight of that kind angelic smile on her young savior's face.
"Who are you?" The younger girl asked.
"You can call me Riley." Riley replied.
"I am Fleur... this is Gabby... thank you for all your help." Fleur thanked her again.
"Anytime. You two stay safe, alright." Riley stated as she Shunshined away, just as the girls' father began to stir.
"Who was that boy, Fleur?" Gabby asked, believing that Riley was a boy.
"I don't know who he was... but I want too." Fleur replied as she stared at where Riley had been, still feeling the warmth and kindness that Riley's smile had given her.
-To Be Continued-
Alright that's it... next chapter we're off to Hogwarts. Can't wait see ya then! JA NE!
