K Here's the next chapter. For those who don't understand, as I have had a lot of questions about it. Riley will grow to be as powerful as Kurama, she isn't right now. right now she only has as much power as the one tails, hence her having only one tail. she'll grow more as she grows into the rest of her power, which will be a lot faster now.
Warnings: Intense Language.
Broken Angel
Chapter 26: A Meeting of Belligerent Minds
-Later-
Luna, and Katie sat waiting in the chamber. Fleur was still in one of the side rooms sleeping, and the two didn't want to bother her. Daphne had returned to her room to get some sleep, while Luna and Katie also prepared for bed, but since they lived in the chamber, they were able to stay with Fleur.
Fleur's family still waited at the entrance to the chamber, and the two girls were wondering when they should tell them that Riley had vanished.
"Hey... what's up babes?" They both heard a slightly familiar voice say. Luna and Katie glanced over and spotted a woman walking towards them from the entrance. They both recognized her instantly, from her robes, and flowing dark red hair.
"Riley!" Katie stated as her jaw fell open.
"You look different." Luna commented, as Riley approached the two.
"Eh... got a makeover." Riley replied with a chuckle.
"Looks good on you." Luna told her with a smile.
"Good? You look amazing! What the hell happened to you? You look... you're..." Katie shouted back, but she lost her train of thought as she began to take notice of all the changes. She noticed the claws, and the pointy ears. Her eyes widened as she took notice of Riley's new Dojutsu. It was stunningly beautiful and frightening. She also took notice of Riley's new body.
"Sexy?" Riley asked as she approached Katie and gently began caressing her cheek.
Katie was mesmerized by Riley's beauty. Before Riley stood only an inch taller than Katie, though now she was almost half a foot taller than her. Riley also looked like a woman. Her teenage features had faded, she could easily be mistaken for someone in their mid-twenties. Not to mention, that Riley's eyes were now hypnotically beautiful. They seemingly expressed her emotions, giving off an aura that felt kind, affectionate, intimate and loving. On top of that, they radiated with power, so much so that Katie felt herself shrink, the longer she focused on just how much power seemed to press out from those eyes.
It was a moment before Katie felt Riley pull her into a kiss. When their lips met, Katie felt an intense spark pass between them. That spark felt so amazing that it caused the young Gryffindor to moan loudly into the kiss.
Her moan earned a grin from Riley who pulled her deeper into the kiss, their tongues intertwining as Katie let out another moan. The two separated, both taking in a deep breath, as a predatory grin spread across Riley's face.
"What the hell happened to you?" Katie stuttered out. Her knees were weak, and her vision was almost hazy. She was beyond starstruck.
"It finally happened... I'm not human anymore." Riley replied before turning to Luna with a mischievous grin. "Speaking of which... can I handle you now, my dear?"
Luna simply cocked her head in reply. Her eyes drifted over Riley's new appearance.
For some reason, it didn't surprise Riley that Luna had no reaction to her admitting she wasn't human any longer. Luna had always been an enigma to Riley, always someone who knew a lot more than she let on, but without much in the way of a discernable reasoning behind her knowledge. She just seemed to know things, so it wouldn't be surprising at all if she revealed that she had known Riley was a half-demon all along.
A couple more moments passed before the dreamy eyed girl, smiled and replied to her question, "Yes... I think so."
"Cool... we'll set up plans for a date tomorrow. I gotta go check on Fleur. Make sure my clones didn't fuck up her surgery." Riley said with a smile, and she drifted off to the back rooms where Fleur was resting.
"Oh my god. My heart is pounding in my chest." Katie whimpered out as her knees finally gave out and she fell to the floor.
"Now you see what she was always meant to be. Though I'm not surprised that you're reacting this way. You have had a crush on her for a long time." Luna noted as she walked over and sat next to Katie.
"Yeah well... with how much you two tease each other, I'm surprised it took her becoming a demon for you two to finally go out." Katie muttered in reply, before realizing that she had just let, Riley's secret slip. She shot a glance at Luna, whom again didn't seem to react to the information.
"I was going to ask her out at the beginning of the year. But then I noticed that Daphne was going to be number three. I can settle for number four... I wonder though... how many more of us will there be?" Luna replied with a thoughtful look that confused the hell out of Katie.
"You don't seem surprised to hear that Riley's a demon? Not to mention I'm more than a little surprised to see her ask you out... I mean, you guys have always been close, but I thought you were just good friends." Katie noted.
"I knew Riley was a demon when we first met. She's a nice demon though. So, I have no problem with her. Besides... she was one of my first friends. And she's probably my best. You tend to learn a lot about someone when you spend enough time with them. Also... I fell in love with Riley years ago. I just wanted to wait for her to be at a stable point in her other relationships before I let her know how I felt." Luna told her. Katie adopted a slightly surprised look at hearing that. To think that Luna had been in love with Riley, just as Katie had... it was surprising to hear that from the fairy-like girl.
A couple of moments later, Riley came back out.
"How's Fleur doing?" Katie asked.
"Good. It'll take about a week for that arm to fill out. But as long as she builds up her strength in it, she'll be fine." Riley replied.
"So uh... what are you going to tell all our friends about your new... uh... look?" Katie asked as she looked Riley over again.
"The truth... I don't have any reason to hide it from them. The rest of the world, however... well, I can transform into whatever I want to. I think I'll keep this look as my true form but otherwise I'll transform to look younger, I'll also need to hide my tail as that's the only aspect of myself I can't change. Luckily, I can just shorten it and hide it under my robes. I probably will only use my adult form sparingly as I don't want to draw to much attention just yet." Riley mused in reply.
"Do you want me to go get everyone? They're probably not asleep yet." Katie offered.
"Sure, tell them to head down here first thing in the morning, and let Fleur's parents know that they can come down if they want." Riley stated as she began to transform into her younger self. She then cast an illusion to hide her tail. Within a couple of moments, she looked like the old Riley though her Rinne Sharingan still shined through.
It was early the next morning when the gang all showed up. They gathered in the Chamber of Secrets, and waited excitedly to see Riley, they had all been curious to see how Fleur was doing, and some of them had heard from Daphne, that Riley had vanished during the night.
Eventually Riley walked in. They all immediately noticed her change of eyes, and as she stepped in front of them, she dropped the illusion over her body as well. Surprised gasps could be heard from all of her friends. Most were awestruck by what they saw.
"Riley... what the bloody hell happened to you?" Draco managed to ask.
"Quite a lot my friend. First thing's first. Fleur is doing fine. She's resting with her family; she should wake up in a little bit. Now, onto why I look so different. I've told you guys a lot about myself. I've told you how I was raised, who my family was. I've told you about my plans and the Dark Lord. I've trusted you guys a lot. Because you're my friends... all of you. There is one thing... I never told you. We all have our secrets... this was my biggest. Yesterday... I hunted down and killed the summoner from the first task, Sebastian Yurik. After I killed him, I experienced... a change. A change that has long been coming. When I was born, my father sealed a demon into my gut. Some of you may know this. What you don't know is that when the Dark Lord tried to kill me and my sister when we were babies... my sister wasn't the one to kill him... I was. I'm the real Girl-who-Lived." Riley told them, earning surprised looks from all of her friends. She heard them whisper animatedly for a few seconds, before she silenced them with a gesture.
"When the Dark Lord hit me with the Killing curse... the curse was filtered into the seal that held the Nine Tailed Fox. The curse damaged the seal, and I began to absorb the little bit's of the fox's soul that leaked out of the seal. When he awoke from his slumber a few years ago, he informed me of this. And he and I made a deal in order to save himself. I turned him into a summoning, and he would fight alongside me for a century. In exchange... he would help me use the parts of his soul, I had already absorbed, to become a demon. Yesterday, after my fight with Yurik... it finally happened. The last of my humanity has slipped away. I am now a full-fledged demon, though even more so, an archdemon." Riley explained to them. Most were beyond shocked by this revelation. To think they were all friends with an archdemon. Hell, even Daphne and Katie were a little surprised to hear that Riley wasn't just a demon, but an actual dark goddess.
"So, this is what you really look like?" Hermione questioned.
"It's what I look like now. I absorbed the soul of a Tailed Beast. So, I have to have a tail that represents how much magic I have. I'll have more than the two tails within a year, so I'll grow another tail then. The eyes are the result of all my dojutsu fusing into one. While all the other changes, happened when I lost control of the transformation for a couple seconds. Let me tell you guys, that hurt like a bitch." Riley answered earning a few chuckles from her friends.
"Well... now we know why you're so powerful. Bloody demon this one." Theo noted.
"Damn straight. This is awesome... no way is the light winning the next war... not with Riley on our side." Crabbe cheered.
"Those ponces will brown their pants when they realize they're up against a Dark Lord and a bloody demon." Draco said with a chuckle.
"You are full of surprises Riley." Pansy said with a shake of her head.
"I wanted all of you to know this. I wanted you all to know, what I really was. I trust each and every one of you with my life. I would stand by each of you, through the harshest of storms. And I've decided that I want you all by my side when I build a better place for us." Riley told them.
"What do you mean by that?" Blaise asked.
"When this war is over, I plan on building a place where all those I call friend... all those whom I care for, can call home. A place where they will never have to feel the sting of the world's cruelties. A place where all of you can find true happiness. But I can't do it alone. I need your help. I want your help." Riley told them all with a look of determination.
"I will build a kingdom unlike any seen before. It will be a paradise unto the earth. And I want you guys to help me." Riley said with a smile.
Her friends all shared looks amongst each other. They were all thinking different things, but there was a common thought amongst them. And that was that if anyone could build such a place, it was Riley. None of them were bothered by the revelation that their friend was a demon. In fact, if anything it made them revere her more.
"Her friends took that well." Madara noted.
"They have always known deep down that she is greater than them. That she is a higher being. She doesn't even realize it, but almost all of them revere and worship her in some fashion. This reverence has been growing stronger with each passing day, and with the realization as to what she truly is, I do believe their faith in her will increase." Kurama replied.
'You make her out like some kind of prophet or holy leader.' Madara stated,
"She might as well be. Her friends and lovers will be compelled by her mere presence to follow her will. Unlike many other archdemons, Riley has such control over her Youki, that she doesn't bombard a person with her emotions. Most Archdemons drive people insane or into a frenzy because their emotions are so thick and potent in the air, due to their Youki quite literally leaking from their bodies in some cases. Riley has better control of her Youki then that. It's a subtle thing. It flows out and acts much more suggestive then oppressive. That's why when she speaks there are two reactions she generally gains from people. Those who trust and follow her, believe in everything she says, while those who don't see her words as poison." Kurama stated in reply.
Madara turned thoughtful as hearing that. He had to wonder, just how much control Riley could have over a person if she tried to dominate them with her Youki? It was an interesting prospect. One that he'd have to keep an eye on. Very soon, he'd be fully manifested. Another few days would be all it would take, and then he'd be free.
-Later-
Riley, sat with the Delacour's in the back room where Fleur was resting. The rest of Riley's gang had to go to class, while Riley just sent a Shadow Clone to hers and to teach her own class.
They all sat in relative silence, as Fleur was due to awaken very soon, since the stunner had worn off by now.
Riley was back under her illusion and was trying very hard to keep a smirk off her face. Fleur talked a lot in her sleep. And every so often she would mumble or whisper something.
Apolline sent glances between her daughter and Riley. The way Riley hovered nearby and the look in her eyes as she stared down at Fleur, it was such an odd thing for the Veela. It was so rare for a Veela to find her mate, the one she was meant to be with. So, seeing Riley's reactions around Fleur and how well Fleur responded to each touch or look, just furthered Apolline's belief that a Veela's mate wasn't just the one they were chosen to be with, but who they were born to be with.
"Riley..." Fleur moaned out lightly causing Riley to start giggling. All the while Apolline shot the young demoness an amused look.
"Perv." Riley muttered in reply.
"Only for you..." Fleur replied as her eyes slowly opened.
"Welcome back to the land of the living." Riley said with a smile as she sat next to Fleur.
"Good to see you finally awake." Apolline stated gently as she brushed some hair away from Fleur's face.
"Mama, papa, Gabby. It's good to see you all." Fleur stated tiredly.
"It's good to see you finally awake. We were worried about you." Jean stated.
"I was in good hands, papa." Fleur replied as she reached out and took Riley's hand.
"Thanks... well... since you're awake, I've got a few things I need you to know. First, I was successfully able to replace your arm. It's going to remain in that sling for the next two days, to allow for the tissue to strengthen up enough for it to remain attached. So, no removing it, or trying to use magic through it until I say so." Riley told her. Fleur nodded in understanding and went to pull the bed sheets back to look at the arm.
The arm itself was fully bandaged and held up with a sling. Fleur could tell from the bandages that the arm was thin and bony looking. She also noticed that she wasn't wearing anything other than the sling, on her upper body. Her family had seen her naked dozens of times, as they often went to nude beaches, it was the presence of Riley however that made Fleur just a bit self-conscious.
"You were topless the entire time I was rebuilding your arm. Nothing I haven't seen already, my love. And you are absolutely gorgeous." Riley informed her as she fetched a sweatshirt for Fleur to put on over the sling. Fleur could only smile at Riley's compliment. Her mate always had a way of making her day brighter, even in the darkest of times.
"My arm will fill out, right?" Fleur asked.
"Yeah... It'll fill out in about a week. I'll help you with the necessary rehabilitation to get the thing working again. You'll have to glamour the color, as the skin tone is now pure white. The arm itself doesn't have any blood, or bones. It's made of a single substance cultivated through the use of Wood Style. It'll heal on it's own, and as long as some of it remains it'll fully repair itself. You'll have full range of motion with it, and you should be able to feel movement with it as well." Riley informed her.
Fleur nodded as she clenched and unclenched her new hand. She could in fact feel through it and while it was difficult to move, it proved that she did have control over it and it was hers.
"Zank you so much Riley." Fleur stated as she placed a kiss on Riley's lips.
Fleur pulled back with a surprised look, while Riley simply smiled. She felt a very different feeling pass through her as she kissed Riley. It was a spark of pleasure, and love. It felt really good to kiss her, better then it ever had. Riley's smile grew wider as she noticed the inquisitive look Fleur was sending her.
"Now... you should be fine to leave. Just don't move that arm a lot. I'll remove the sling in two days time. Otherwise keep it rested. Also... don't think I forgot about what got you into this situation, little miss hero. Once you're back up to a hundred percent, I'm going to run your ass into the ground for doing something so stupid." Riley stated with a dark warning in her eyes, that caused Fleur to both nod in fear, and tremble to suppress the sudden burst of arousal she felt from the commanding presence of her mate. It took a moment but Fleur finally took notice of the changes to Riley's Rinnegan.
She looked at her with a questioning stare, but before she could speak Riley simply smiled and mouthed, 'later'. Fleur nodded and proceeded to get out of bed. It took a bit of help from her mother, but she was able to stand without much difficulty.
Fleur was then able to return to the Beauxbatons Carriage where she was greeted quite heartily by her fellow Beauxbatons, whom were all glad to see her. It seems her rescuing of Diana had earned her an immense amount of respect from her fellow students. However Diana remained aloof. She still treated Fleur with certain coldness, and didn't even acknowledge what Fleur had done to rescue her. This of course earned her Fleur's ire, as the young Veela was beginning to regret ever saving the stuck-up bitch.
Meanwhile, Riley sat with Katie and Daphne in the Library. Riley was just waiting for the summons to the Headmasters office, that she knew was coming.
"So... did you tell Fleur about your changes?" Katie asked.
"Nope." Riley replied.
"Why not?" Katie inquired curiously.
"I want to surprise her." Riley replied with a mischievous grin.
"I think she'll be pleasantly surprised." Daphne mused with a ghost of a smile on her face.
"Aw... Daph... I didn't know you liked the new me that much." Riley stated seductively as she walked up behind Daphne and tilted her head back, so that she could lean down to kiss her.
"Ms. Uchiwa?" came the voice of McGonagall. Riley glanced up still lip locked with Daphne, as McGonagall walked up to them. She looked slightly uncomfortable, so Riley did the decent thing and pulled away from Daphne, who was blushing with embarrassment and arousal from the kiss. Daphne shot a look at Katie who nodded, with an 'I know, right?' look on her face.
"Yes Professor?" Riley asked as she turned to look at McGonagall.
McGonagall was slightly awestruck by the sight of Riley's new eyes. She had seen Riley's Sharingan and even her Mangekyou Sharingan before, but never this. Riley's eyes screamed power. They held an immense aura to them that made the Transfiguration Professor very nervous.
"The Headmaster would like to speak with you in his office." McGonagall informed her. Riley simply nodded and headed off to the Headmaster's office.
As Riley walked, she heard footsteps behind her, she glanced back in time to see Sirius and Remus, striding towards her.
"Sirius! It's good to see you again." Riley said with a smile.
"It's good to see you as well pup. You're looking... different." Sirius noted as he noticed her new eyes.
"Oh... these? My new Dojutsu. It's a fusion of all three of my originals. Can't turn it off, so you'll have to get used to it." Riley said with a shrug.
"Right..." Sirius said with a slow nod, he was slightly mesmerized by his goddaughter's eyes. The power they radiated was unlike anything he had ever felt.
"Did you guys see the first task yesterday?" Riley asked, ignoring their curiosity and memorization.
"That we did. That was unbelievable Riley. The way you fought was truly amazing." Remus complimented her.
"Yeah... I've never seen anyone capable of that kind of power. You were unbelievable." Sirius added.
"Thanks guys. Well I'm off to see the headmaster... and probably the Kage." Riley told them with a sour look.
"You want us to come with you?" Sirius asked.
"I'd love it if you could but they'll probably just kick you out." Riley muttered with a sigh.
"Not if you want us there. If the kage are present then this isn't a meeting between teacher and student, therefore as head of a house you have the right to bring anyone with you that you want. Also, you're my goddaughter and heir, so..." Sirius told her.
"True... alright, let's go." Riley said with a smile as the three headed towards Dumbledore's office.
They found Snape waiting next to the Gargoyle statue. He appeared to be waiting for them.
"Professor." Riley greeted with a nod.
"Ms. Uchiwa, Lupin, Black." Snape greeted the three in return, earning nods from Remus and Sirius.
"I should warn you that Lily and Minato are inside." Snape informed Sirius.
"Oh, goody, I intended to speak with them before I left anyway. This'll just save me the time." Sirius stated with a viscous smirk. Earning a roll of the eyes from Remus and a chuckle from Riley.
Snape simply nodded, his face stoic as usual. He then led them up into the Headmaster's office. Where Dumbledore, Crouch, Maxine, Karkaroff, Amelia, Fudge, Onoki, A, Rasa, Minato, Lily, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, along with the Kage's guards, were waiting.
"Holy shit... you brought the whole gang." Riley said with a chuckle as she noticed all of the high profile people present.
"Sirius, Remus... you two may leave us." Dumbledore told them. As soon as he said his name, both Minato's and Lily's eyes shot towards Sirius whom had this amused glint in his eye.
"Actually they'll be staying. I don't appreciate walking into an ambush with this many S-Ranked ninja, without a bit of back-up." Riley replied with a stern glare. A glare that nearly caused Dumbledore to fall back in his chair. Most of the Shinobi let out audible gasps, especially Jiraiya whom recognized her eyes the moment he saw them. The ominous purple glow, the ripple pattern, the tomoe were new, but otherwise he was positive he knew what those eyes were.
"That's... the..." Jiraiya began to state, but he was cut off by Riley.
"Can we skip the stuttering and gawking like assholes part, and just get to the part where you tell me why I'm here?" Riley demanded harshly, not even bothering to hide her contempt at them for forcing her into a room with the people she hated more than most others.
"Respect your betters girl." Onoki warned with a stern glare.
"Onoki the Fence Sitter." Riley addressed him, as her gaze slowly turned towards him. Her eyes locked with his and she smiled cruelly. "Perhaps I should remind you of your place, old man. You do remember it right? Or do you require another of my 'kind' to remind you?"
Onoki's eyes widened slightly. He was more then a little surprised that she knew him and even knew of his defeat at Madara's hands.
"You're speaking to a Kage, Ronin! Remember your position!" Kitsuchi barked with a glare. Riley turned her gaze towards the lumbering Iwa Jonin, a twisted snarl flashing across her face, one that spoke of violence. Kitsuchi sensed danger as he was struck by a concentrated dose of Killing Intent. Despite being only a fifteen-year-old child, the potency of her KI was enough to startle him. A bead of sweat began to fall from his brow, as Riley's glare morphed into a cruel smirk.
"My position? Very well, let's see what yours is. Kneel!" Riley ordered and suddenly Kitsuchi fell to his knees as an enormous pressure slammed him into the ground. "Remember this, you worthless piece of trash... no matter what my place is... yours is beneath me!"
The way Riley spoke, caused all of the Kage to shudder slightly. Especially Onoki, since at that moment Riley was channeling her grandfather quite perfectly.
"Riley, please..." Kakashi spoke gently, sensing that she was agitated, and wound up. She no doubt felt that she was being ganged up on with so many people present, and despite knowing this would most likely be the result, his warnings had gone unheeded by Minato, Lily, and the Sannin.
Riley removed her gaze from the Iwa Jonin and turned her eyes towards Kakashi. When their eyes met, Kakashi attempted to convey to her that she was alright, that she wasn't in any danger, and that she didn't need to respond with such aggression.
Riley stared back for a moment, understanding what Kakashi was trying to convey with that look. But there was something she understood more than Kakashi did, in that moment. Riley cared for only a handful of people in that room, Kakashi included. If push came to shove, if someone attacked her, she was ready to kill most of the occupants. Despite her recent power boost, she was far from certain of her victory, but she knew that given the presence of so many kage, and the Sannin, that Kakashi, Remus, and Sirius would be of little help if it came to a fight.
Hell on top of the Kage and their Jonin guards, one of those guards was even a Jinchuriki and with that thought in mind she ripped her gaze from Kakashi towards the Two-Tails Jinchuriki.
Riley shot a glance at Yugito, whom must have known what she was if the fearful look on her face was anything to go by.
A devilish sneer graced Riley's face as her eyes met with Yugito's and she invaded her mindscape.
Yugito found herself pulled into her mindscape. She glanced around curiously and found herself standing next to Riley.
-Yugito's Mindscape-
"If the Two of you value your own lives... you will not speak of what you know." Riley stated darkly, her voice echoing through Yugito's mind.
"Do you think I am afraid of you?" The Two Tails replied with a hiss as it stalked out of darkness.
"No... I don't. But you will be." Riley replied as she raised her hand and suddenly the Two Tails was pulled to the ground.
"Those eyes!" The Two tails murmured as it finally noticed Riley's dojutsu.
"Besides cat... I'm not alone." Riley said with a smile, as Kurama appeared from the shadows behind her.
Yugito stumbled back in fear as the Nine Tails showed itself.
"How? I thought the fox was sealed into the fourth's daughter?" Yugito stuttered out.
"Not all of it." Riley replied with a cruel smile.
"Now... you two be good, and keep quite. Or I'll come back... and I'll tear your minds apart and absorb you, Nibi." Riley warned as the tomoe in her eyes began to rotate, and the purple color turned blood red.
-Dumbledore's office-
Yugito felt herself return to the land of the living. She shot a glance around and realized that not even a second had passed, as Kitsuchi was still on his hands and knees.
"Now... anyone else want to try their hands at bossing me around? Or can we get down to business?" Riley asked with a glare as she released the pressure on the fallen Jonin.
"Yes well... I do believe we can begin." Dumbledore noted as he gave Riley a weary glance.
"Narumi... we need to ask you about yesterday." Minato began, speaking for the first time. His tone spoke of his seriousness. He wasn't playing it off like he had the last time they'd met. He was here as a Kage, not as her father, and it reflected in the way he gazed at her, and held himself in her presence. He wasn't deflated, or uncertain, he showed the proper power of a Kage, and held himself as such.
For some reason, that pissed Riley off more than the last time they'd had the misfortune of speaking. He was seeking to lord over her. He believed he was greater than she was, more than she was, stronger than she was. Riley stared at him for a moment, her muscles flexing beneath her skin as she contemplated attacking him and showing him where they truly stood with one another.
She felt Madara's gaze on her from within her mind, she knew he was silently reprimanding her. She wasn't ready for such a fight. Wasn't ready to challenge her father. This body was new, her ascension fresh. She couldn't fight him, not yet. She needed to relax, take whatever insult his presence provided, and simply ignore it.
"Some asshole you hired, summoned a demon, and I killed it. What's there to talk about?" Riley asked with a shrug, allowing the tension to flee from her body as she relaxed.
"You know what girl! We all felt that power. We all felt that monstrous chakra. I believe we deserve some answers for what the hell happened yesterday?" A barked out. The massive man was obviously quite weary and distrustful of Riley right now, if his temper was anything to go by.
"And who the fuck are you?" Riley asked as she picked at her ear. The Raikage looked like he wanted to tear her head off, while the others simply had sweat drops at her remark. She had to know who he was, since he had been addressed during the judging of the first round of the tournament. So, most of them suspected that she was just tooling with the man, which spoke of incredible boldness, or brazen stupidity, or perhaps both.
"Disrespectful little brat!" A began to bark out, while Riley folded her arms over her chest and stared at him. She didn't flinch at his fury, she didn't shy away from his intimidating stature, she just stared at him. The Raikage stared back, sensing the potent aggression, locked within her body. He could tell she was ready to attack at a moment's notice. A part of A wanted to dismiss such aggression as childish stupidity and ignorance, but a part of him was concerned, considering what he'd seen earlier in regard to her fighting capability, perhaps she was far more than a simple stupid teen like so many of the others.
"Listen up girl. We want to know what all of that was about yesterday. That monster should have been way above your weight class, even if you were a prodigy. The chakra we all felt you release was monstrous, it was greater then even the demon you were facing and it didn't feel normal." Rasa, the Kazekage stated.
"Well, as master Jiraiya can explain to you, those with the Rinnegan hold unnatural chakra that is also exceedingly powerful. So, if there isn't anything else, can I go?" Riley informed them with a look boredom. Her mention of the Rinnegan caused several of the shinobi to blink in surprise. Even Minato, was momentarily taken aback. Was she insinuating that the eyes she now held were the Rinnegan? The Rinnegan was a legendary doujutsu, said to have been carried by the founder of Ninjutsu and the one who taught magic to humans, the Sage of Six Paths. Most of the wizened master shinobi, and even Dumbledore had heard such legends, but to insinuate that she had those same eyes, that was a bit off the cuff.
"Those eyes... they look so much like the Rinnegan. But they're different. I can't say for sure what they're capable of." Jiraiya stated with a thoughtful look.
"Where did you get those eyes Narumi?" Minato inquired.
"I don't know man, I just woke up one day, and bam! Rinnegan!" Riley replied waving her hand over her eyes, like they were some kind of great mystery.
Sirius let out a chuckle at her antics as Minato rubbed his temples in frustration.
"Will you answer the damn questions girl?" A barked out with a glare, growing fed-up with her dancing around the issue.
"It's a bloodline, there you happy. It's something in my blood, so can you fuck off already." Riley snapped at the man, giving them the truth, in a not so helpful way, as most of them could have probably already guessed that it had something to do with her blood.
"What about Wood style?" Tsunade asked.
"A gift from Hashirama Senju to my Grandfather." Riley replied smirking at Tsunade.
"You mean Madara stole it." Tsunade stated accusingly.
"Sure... if that's easier for you to believe, then let's go with that." Riley stated dismissively. Not caring enough to correct the angry Senju.
"How is that possible, all attempts to replicate Wood Style have failed. People have been trying since the First Hokage passed. How did Madara manage it?" Minato questioned her.
"It was a gift, like I said." Riley shrugged at him.
"How so?" Minato asked, folding his arms over his chest.
"After their battle at Final Valley, Hashirama healed Madara's injuries. The stories about the two hating each other were born of a misconception of their relationship. The two were best friends, but their differing ideologies led Madara to leave the village. Eventually he decided to have one final battle with Hashirama so that the two could finally settle which one was better. They fought, Hashirama won, and Madara nearly died, but Hashirama saved his life using his mastery of healing magic, as well as some of his own cells. He did it to save my grandfather's life. Like I said... it was a gift. Madara gained access to Wood Style because of Hashirama's actions, and I inherited it from him." Riley explained to the Fourth Hokage, knowing full well that the secrets of Wood Style were enough to kill for, and if she didn't answer, then it would likely become just another reason the Leaf would target her in the future. At least this way, they'd know that it was something in Riley's blood and not a secret that could be taught to others. Ultimately meaning that their plans to use her as breeding stock, wouldn't change. It didn't make them want her any less, it just left them as predictable as they already were, which was what Riley wanted.
Minato took in her words and slowly nodded at that. He had never known that about the First Hokage or Madara Uchiha. A part of him wanted to continue asking questions, to ask about how she knew so much about Madara, but before he could, Dumbledore spoke up, as if sensing Riley's growing agitation.
"The power you displayed yesterday, Riley. It was unlike anything, many of us have ever seen from one so young. Now you appear today with legendary eyes. We cannot help but be curious." Dumbledore stated, earning nods from the others present.
"And ah... why is Madam Bones here?" Riley inquired.
"Sebastian Yurik. He's now wanted for the crimes of black magic and the death of that fifteen-year-old girl we found in the suit of armor. We still haven't identified her yet. What I need from you is a statement in regard to what happened yesterday." Amelia replied formally.
"Yurik's dead. I killed him last night." Riley replied plainly.
"You what?" Minato shot out, as everyone adopted surprised looks.
"The man willfully used Black magic to try to kill me and my girlfriend. The demon he summoned to fight me would have required at the least, five human sacrifices. And the demon he summoned to fight Krum and Dmitri also would have taken a sacrifice. That's seven people at least that, that son of a bitch has murdered. And that's not counting all the demons I killed getting to him yesterday." Riley stated with a dark look on her face.
"You went and fought that monster all by yourself?" Lily stated fearfully.
"What the hell were you thinking? That man could have killed you!" Minato shouted at her.
"No. He couldn't have." Riley replied with dark look, as she felt she knew what was coming next from her parents.
"Regardless of his crimes, you cannot just take the law into your own hands, Ms. Uchiwa." Amelia stated sternly. If there was one thing Amelia hated dealing with, it was people who thought they were above the law, and head of house or not, if Riley really had murdered a man in cold blood, then she would do something about it.
"Actually, I can. You see, there are a number of reasons why a regular person could kill Yurik and not face any legal ramification, but here's my favorite. When I killed the demon he summoned yesterday, I earned a new title, which is why I'm sure you're here, right Minister? That title is Demon Slayer. A title given to those who have slayed demons in defense of the realm. Any nation, including the Elemental Nations, which is, as of fifty years ago, a part of the ICW, recognizes the rank of Demon Slayer. Any Demon Slayer, upon confirmation of their title is allowed to carry out hunts against demons, and those who summon them, within any nation chartered with the ICW. Which means, the moment I killed that giant ass fucking monster in front of all those people, I was given the title of Demon Slayer and I could legally hunt down and kill Sebastian Yurik, for the crime of Demon summoning. And before you even say anything, I think the damning evidence of all those witnesses who saw him do it, will be enough to sway any judge, if you still wanted to push the issue Madam Bones." Riley informed them all with a smirk. Most looked as if they hadn't known about this, prior to Riley informing them. Riley herself had to pat herself on the back, since she hadn't known any of this up until she read all those damn books in Slytherin's and Gryffindor's libraries. If she had not, she could be facing some legal trouble right about now.
That tidbit of knowledge was old, very old. Came from a time when magic was less regulated.
"She's right Amelia. By the ancient charters, demon slayers can hunt down and kill demon summoners as long as there's reasonable proof of demon summoning. We all saw Yurik summon the beast, and Gringotts sent a letter to the Ministry late last night, informing us of her change of status. So long as she was within a member country of the ICW, she was acting on behalf of all good people in hunting down such a vicious monster. It hasn't happened in a long while, but it is still a recognized affect." Fudge stated.
"Alright, Ms Uchiwa. Then can you please tell me where he is, so I can at least confirm that he is no longer of this world?" Amelia asked.
"I can tell you, but I doubt you'll be able to confirm anything there. His home was an absolute nightmare, filled with dark magic, and the results of years' worth of twisted experiments. The Son of a Bitch even had a dungeon beneath his house that was filled with the corpses of a lot of people. I had no intention of allowing Yurik's work to be studied by anyone, so I destroyed the entire estate with my Rasenshuriken... which as you all saw yesterday, leaves a bit of a crater. I didn't bother taking Yurik's body with me, so good luck. His house was in North-East Germany if you wanna go look for it." Riley replied with a shrug.
"Zen how do we know you are telling ze truth?" Madame Maxime inquired.
"Well, I could swear on my magic that I killed the son of a bitch, but I think I'll just let Gringotts handle this. I stopped by there on my way back here last night, and laid claim to all of Yurik's stuff, by right of conquest. You can confirm it with them... all his belongings, will be transferred to my vaults and his family name will subsequently fade from existence. Once that process is complete, I can go and see what I've acquired and find a way to get rid of any evil artifacts or twisted knowledge." Riley informed her. Amelia nodded in response to that. She'd most definitely be checking to ensure that, that monster was dead.
"Well in that case, do please inform the Ministry if you require any aid in the disposal of such material. I too would like to ensure that such items never see the light of day again." Madam Bones offered.
"Of course." Riley replied.
"Regardless of whether you could or not, going after that monster all by yourself was reckless and foolish." Minato stated with a stern glare.
"Minato isn't wrong. What if he had summoned something more powerful than the demon you fought?" Jiraiya added in agreement with his former student.
"Then I might have actually had some fun. Needless to say, the three headed monstrosity was the best he had." Riley replied with a smirk.
"Do you have any idea how much danger you put yourself in? That man dabbled in the blackest of arts. Who knows what sort of traps he could have placed around himself. Or what kind of curses he had at his disposal. Gods Narumi, you can't just go running into the unknown just because someone pisses you off." Minato berated her. The man's fatherly instincts and nature as Hokage were running full throttle but all he was managing to do was pissing Riley off more and more.
"Oh... that's a very good point you just brought up, Lord Hokage. It 'is' very stupid when people do things without thinking, simply because they're pissed off. I just think it's funny that you're the one who's saying it, since we all know you've never done something stupid because you were pissed off, right? You know, come to think of it, doing something stupid, because you're pissed off, might just be a family trait. I wonder who she gets it from?" Sirius stated as he crossed his arms and glared at the man, his words earning a smirk from Riley.
Minato and Lily both visibly cringed at that, which earned curious looks from most of the other Kage.
"Sirius... I..." Minato began to say.
"Shut up, Minato. You know absolutely nothing about my goddaughter. In the years she spent between leaving your village and coming here to Hogwarts, she served as a bounty hunter, and hunted many dark witches and wizards. Some of those probably used the black arts, am I right?" Sirius shot a glance at Riley whom nodded.
"So maybe, instead of fussing over how she went about it, maybe you should be congratulating her for killing a demon summoner and saving the lives of who knows how many aurors, whom would've had to fight through that army of demons she was talking about. Merlin... sometimes I wonder how Riley isn't half donkey, with how much a braying jackass her father is!" Sirius berated the man. This earned many surprised looks from the other Kage, as even they would never dare to speak to Minato Namikaze in such a manner.
"Sirius... I know we have our issues... but that doesn't change the fact that it was reckless to run into the unknown like that. At the very least she could have taken backup or told someone where she was going." Minato countered.
"Okay... you know what? You're right. Riley... next time you go hunting an evil demon summoning psychopath, can you please let Remus, or I know, so if you don't come back, we can call the Aurors?" Sirius asked.
"Sure... I'll be sure to do that." Riley replied with a smile.
"Narumi... why are you not taking this more seriously? You could have been hurt. What would have happened if that monster got his hands on you? What if he was intending to lead you into a trap?" Lily spoke up for the first time.
"Your mother's right Narumi. Who knows what the evil bastard had planned." Tsunade agreed.
"Oh, for fucks sake! Does the fact that I killed a three headed glutton demon the size of a fucking warehouse, without even breaking a sweat, mean anything to you assholes? Or is it that it's impossible for you to see that I'm beyond your precious golden girl? She couldn't have taken that thing, which means for some reason, my victory over it, is somehow invalid in your eyes. She'd be in danger if she went after Yurik alone, so it must mean that it was near suicidal for me to do it! Open your eyes and realize something, I am not Naruko. I have never been Naruko. And I'll never be Naruko. If you think she's incapable or she's too weak, take it up with her, because I can assure you, fucker didn't even stand a chance." Riley hissed out; her voice filled with hate.
"We're not discrediting what you did. We're just trying to make you understand that you need to think, before you act. I've done some terrible things because I didn't think. I'm just trying to make sure you don't repeat my mistakes." Minato tried to say to her.
"News flash Fourth Hokage. I'm not you. I'm not your wife. And again, I'm not your precious fucking Naruko. I'm nothing to you. I'm a fucking Jonin. At fifteen. Your precious Naruko, wasn't even a ninja, by the time I made Jonin. You seem to be under the impression that I'm too stupid to know how to deal with assholes like Yurik. You seem to think I confronted him, without knowing for sure that I could take him. You seem to think I went unprepared, that I'm some child in need of your guidance. Just because none of you trained me, doesn't mean, I'm any less of a ninja... So fuck off!" Riley fired back, with an enormous amount of venom. The other Kage were quietly trying to meld with the walls, as they suddenly felt unsafe being in the same room as someone who just killed a giant demon, as well as an upset fourth Hokage.
"No one knows who trained you. No one knows where you became this powerful. It's because of that, that no one can trust your abilities." Jiraiya informed her. "Besides that, the foundational principals of Konoha's methods, surround teamwork. Even if you could handle it alone, a single mistake or miscalculation is all that's needed for a weaker individual to defeat a stronger opponent. That's why teamwork is so important."
Riley mulled over Jiraiya's words for a moment. He did make a good point, and Konoha had proven over the years that their system, built around teamwork, worked far better than what the other villages had come up with. Still though, she wanted to roll her eyes and kick him in the chest. The second half of his statement had earned him a bit of credit, but that first part she had a major issue with.
"Trust my abilities huh? Did you see what I just did to the dumbass Iwa Jonin not five minutes ago? How's about I kick your ass, using only my eyes? How about I reshow you the completed form of the Rasengan. The same technique I quite easily used to destroy that massive demon. You may not know who trained me... but that doesn't mean my abilities are any less amazing. And for your information... I was trained by Shisui of the Body Flicker, before this asshole got him killed." Riley spat in reply before shooting a glare at Minato.
"Shisui's death... it was..." Minato tried to get out but he was cut off by Riley.
"Did you ever figure out who killed him? No... of course you didn't. Legendary ninja, too buried by paperwork to know what's going on in his own village. You Kage disgust me... grand masters of the ninja arts. Unparalleled warriors of your villages and you morons are bested by what I wipe my ass with every day." Riley spat at them with a glare. None of the Kage could argue that. It seemed ever since they entered office, their greatest enemy was paperwork.
"Well... you killed the criminal Yurik... so that's good. However, you still have not answered our questions. And Shisui of the Body Flicker has been dead for years. He can't have still been training you." Onoki stated, finally breaking the tense silence.
"Fine! I trained myself! Happy now?" Riley responded.
"Bull! You fight exactly like Madara Uchiha. I've seen what he's capable of... there's no way you learned to fight like that, purely on your own." Onoki countered.
"I am the head of the Uchiwa family. Hadn't you heard? I have access to all of the ancient Uchiwa scrolls, including those left by my grandfather. Where do you think I got the armor?" Riley replied with a smirk.
Onoki's glare darkened as he floated closer to her. Minato began to tense to step between them, but a shake of the head from Remus stopped him. Remus knew that Riley could handle the tiny floating bastard, and if Minato got in the way, it would be like a slap in the face to Riley and further damage their already fractured and broken relationship.
The other Kage could begin to feel Onoki's KI fill the room, the wizards and witches in the room began to tremble, as the great Fence Sitter began to direct his KI at Riley.
Riley all the while seemed unfazed, even as Remus and Sirius both fell to their knees in fear.
"Is there a point to this? Or are you just trying to piss me off?" Riley asked with a glare as the tomoe in her eyes slowly began to rotate.
"You are exactly like that monster... in every way. Madara, had that same aloof manner, whenever he dealt with others." Onoki stated, his features rather dark. Minato looked like he was going to murder the Tsuchikage for assaulting his daughter with his KI, but he, like everyone else, was more than a little surprised to see Riley standing there without displaying any sign that she was in any way affected by Onoki's KI.
Riley felt her anger swell.
"How dare this fucking midget call my grandfather a monster!" Riley seethed internally as she began to grin maliciously.
"Coming from you, Onoki..." Riley said as her eyes suddenly turned blood red, causing the Tsuchikage to reel back. "I'll take that as a compliment."
And with that, Riley lifted her hand and suddenly Onoki felt himself floating toward her against his will.
"Didn't my grandfather teach you Onoki... perhaps I should remind you... you are nothing, before an Uchiwa!" Riley hissed out as Onoki was dragged right into her grasp. The other Kage tensed as Riley grasped the Tsuchikage by the neck.
Onoki raised his hands, and within them, his Dust Release began to form, only for Riley to wrap her free hand around the forming Ninjutsu and absorb it using the Preta Path.
This action caused everyone's jaws to drop even further. Not even Jiraiya, who knew the most about the Rinnegan knew that it had the power to do that. Watching her just casually cancel out a Ninjutsu as powerful as Dust Release, was something that caused even the most powerful of Shinobi to feel a cold prick of fear, pierce their hearts.
"She's already tapped into some of the Rinnegan's powers. This is bad Kitten. You should urge the Raikage to settle down and not antagonize her, otherwise people could get killed." The Two-Tails whispered to Yugito.
"Do not make me kill you. That demon I fought yesterday... was nothing... just like you. Tempt me again... and I will visit upon Iwagakure a vengeance so unholy, that no one will come within a hundred miles of the place ever again." Riley stated to him, as she let her Youki flare, causing many of the strange instruments in the room to explode. At feeling the weight of Riley's magic, everyone in the room fell to the ground.
You could see the strain on the faces of the Kage as they struggled to stay on their feet. They were the only ones as everyone else was on their bellies unable to even move from the pressure of her magic. The only non-shinobi still able to remain upright was Dumbledore and even he was on his hands and knees.
It was at this moment that a burst of fire appeared over Riley and Fawkes landed on her shoulder. The bird let out a soothing trill which caused Riley to shoot it a look. The bird stared back, almost as if it had used the song simply to draw her attention. Fawkes then nodded its head at the others in the room.
Riley glanced around and saw that everyone was on the ground. She let out a sigh as she released them from the weight of her magic.
"My apologies everyone. I don't take kindly to threats." Riley said with a smile as her eyes returned to their ordinary purple color and she released Onoki.
"That was... unbelievable... that was just the weight of your magic... how is that possible?" Minister Fudge stated as he pulled himself to his feet. A terrified look, plastered on his face.
"I'm one tough bitch, what's there to say? Besides... I told you already. Having the Rinnegan, grants me a unique and potent kind of chakra." Riley replied with a shrug.
"Dammit, pup... what did I tell you about doing that?" Sirius muttered as he got to his feet.
"You're just mad cuz I can beat you with just the weight of my magic." Riley replied with a chuckle.
"Bloody girl, busy teaching her, and she gets pissed and suddenly I'm on the floor eating dirt and it feels like someone dropped a hippogriff on me." Sirius muttered, earning a chuckle from Remus.
"How the hell are you so powerful?" The Kazekage ground out.
"Ms. Uchiwa, please answer the question. The kage are fearful that you could be a threat to their shinobi. They just want an answer as to the reasoning for the immense power we all just felt." Amelia stated.
"No... the Kage are here, so they can learn the secret of my power, so they can steal it, because they're shinobi, and that's what shinobi do. Don't give them the benefit of the doubt, just because they happen to be village leaders. They're shinobi at the end of the day, and they'll do what shinobi do. Maxime and Karkaroff are here to see if their champions still a chance have at winning the Triwizard tournament, and all I'll say in that regard is that I'm not gonna beat my girlfriend, she knows how strong I am, and beating her in a tournament I was entered into against my will just seems like an unnecessary bit of turmoil to add to our relationship. The second I have the chance to slack off in this tournament and get out of it, I will. The minister is here to give me a nice chunk of change and award me my new title of Demon Slayer, I'm pretty sure there's a ceremony involved where I have to stand before the Wizengamot, and take a few photos. We already know why you're here, madam Bones, and Dumbledore is simply trying to stop a fight from breaking out. Remus is here to do the same, while I'm sure Sirius is hoping I'll pick a fight with the woman who birthed me and my sperm donor, so he can have an opening to hex the two of them in an embarrassing way. Tsunade's here to figure out where I got Wood Style from, answer already given by the way. The only person who is here, for the reason you stated is master Jiraiya." Riley countered in reply, pointing at each person in turn.
"Narumi... your father and I, aren't here to steal anything from you. I'm only here because I wanted to talk to you and see how you were doing." Lily stated giving her a halfhearted smile.
"You wanted to see how I was doing? Really?" Riley asked, not quite believing her. This was the first time she had spoken to her mother since leaving, and much like Minato, she had no reason to treat her with anything other than disdain.
After earning a nod from her mother, she sighed and continued. "Well... 'Busy' would be the answer to that question. I spent all of last night, killing a goddamn demon summoner and his merry band of monsters, I had to run from here to Germany, then back to here again. I've got a girlfriend, who's arm I had to surgically replace last night, and I've got two other girlfriends whom require my attention as well. That's not to mention the fact that I have classes today that I'm sure I'm missing right now, and I have to prepare a lesson for the class I teach later today. Oh and I have to set up plans for a date night, with this new girl I'm going out with, and I need to continue training my friends, especially those whom entered into the Chuunin exams... so.. how am I doing? I'm pretty fuckin' busy. To busy to be dealing with this nonsense." Riley replied to Lily's question as she listed off some of the shit she had done recently and needed to do soon.
"Oh... um... wait... did you say girlfriends?" Lily asked. As everyone present started sharing glances, and a perverted grin crept onto Jiraiya's face.
"Yes... Lady Namikaze... I'm a lesbian... now... if you'll all excuse me... I'll get back to my lesbian hobbies, of debauchery, orgies, and nefarious plotting of the downfall of western civilization... and Jiraiya, if you scar poor Kakashi by using me or my girlfriends in that fucking book of yours I'm gonna tear your nipples off." Riley replied in a bored tone, before yelling at Jiraiya, who casually hid the note pad he was writing on.
Minato and Lily both shared a surprised look with one another as they now understood the reason for Riley's fury at the events surrounding the first test of the Triwizard Tournament, Minato especially, recognized that the girl that Riley had tried to shield from him during their first meeting, was one of her girlfriends.
"Wait... you didn't answer the question. Where did all that power come from? It can't all just be from your eyes. Legendary dojutsu or not!" The Raikage shot out.
"Well... the answer to that question, Lord Raikage, is a, what do they call it in the Elemental Nations? Oh, that's right, a clan secret. Here we call it a family secret, which translates out to privileged information. That means that it's none of your fucking business! And if you really don't want me to be a problem for Kumo, then back the fuck off. As of this moment you and your village aren't even an afterthought for me, if you want it to stay that way, then leave me alone!" Riley said a glare.
A looked like he was about to respond to that threat when he was suddenly cut off by The Hokage.
"Enough! You all wanted her here for some answers. She clearly does not wish to give them, and none of us have the right to force them out of her. So, let's be done with it." Minato declared, earning a nod of agreement from Dumbledore, Fudge, and Rasa.
Onoki stared on disdainfully, still a bit shaken from having his fabled ninjutsu countered so easily. A growled out something unintelligible and folded his arms over his chest but conceded that Minato had a point.
"I think that's the first sensible thing you've ever said. Lord Hokage." Riley noted with a chuckle, earning a snicker from Sirius.
The other Kage wasn't happy about it, but they left. They didn't wish to stay and risk angering both Minato and Riley. Minister Fudge offered to come back another day, to set up a time for the award ceremony for becoming a Demon Slayer. Riley accepted, and he also left, along with Amelia. The sannin made a quick getaway as they sensed a stillness in the air, that seemed to be growing as Minato and Lily began to notice the unamused look that Sirius was giving the two.
Oddly enough, Dumbledore left as well, alongside Karkaroff and Maxime, leaving just Minato, Lily, Riley, Kakashi, Snape, Remus and Sirius, in Dumbledore's office.
"So... shall we do this now, or later?" Sirius asked as the room became silent. Sensing the fight Riley stepped off to the side, getting clear of any possible magic that could be thrown, in the upcoming dual. She did take note that Fawkes was still standing on her shoulder, and she couldn't help but wonder two things, one, why the bird wasn't bothered by her being an archdemon, and two, why Fawkes seemed to be watching the upcoming confrontation with an almost keen interest.
"Sirius... I understand that you're angry... but we can discuss this like gentlemen." Minato began.
"Gentlemen? You want to discuss me being thrown into hell for thirteen years like gentlemen. You who was largely responsible for me not even getting a trial?" Sirius questioned, with an obvious disdain for his old friend. Minato winced visibly at every point made, as did Lily, both ready for the verbal assault they were about to receive from their old friend.
Sirius looked like he was about to tear into the Hokage, until he heard Riley speaking. "Well, you're a real help."
They all glanced over just in time to see Fawkes shrug while Riley looked unamused.
"What?" Sirius asked.
"Hey... before you guys start screaming at each other, can one of you guys tell me if my tomoe are spinning? When I first started using the Mangekyou I had this bad habit of leaving it spinning and I'd be stuck feeling real intense... and I feel really intense right now." Riley asked.
They all gave her weird looks, but Remus simply checked her eyes, and noticed that the tomoe were in fact spinning.
"Well... they are still spinning." Remus informed her.
"See! Why couldn't you just say that Fawkes... why you gotta make things difficult?" Riley asked the majestic bird, earning herself another shrug from the Phoenix.
"Alright one sec." Riley said with a look of deep concentration. They noticed her eyes glow slightly and suddenly she began to get sucked into her own eye.
"What the fu..." Was all Riley got out before she vanished. Fawkes was luckily able to hop off her in time to avoid being sucked into the technique.
"What the hell was that?" Sirius asked.
"That looked like Obito's technique." Minato commented.
"Did she just launch it by accident, while trying to get the tomoe in her eyes to stop spinning?" Kakashi asked, with a hint of amusement in his voice.
"Well, um... we should look for her." Minato stated as he spun, grabbed Lily's hand, and flashed away.
"Wa... That bastard just ran away from me!" Sirius declared angrily, as he started to swear and curse at anything and everything in the room.
"Should we uh... go 'look' for Riley?" Kakashi asked, Snape and Remus.
Both men nodded, and the three quickly departed leaving Sirius to continue his angry rant.
Meanwhile. Riley stood in a black nothingness, wondering what the hell had just happened.
And our young heroine was left wondering for quite some time as Kurama and Madara both laughed their asses off, at her misfortune. Little did they know that Riley had just stumbled onto Kamui, and this power would be one of her greatest assets in the years to come.
-To Be Continued-
Alright chapter done. I know not a lot happened, but I needed to get repercussions out of the way. Next chapter will have more repercussions. Will Riley figure out where she went? Will Sirius ever get his confrontation with Minato and Lily? What will the Tsuchikage do now that there's a new S-Ranked ninja on the block? Who knows... you'll have to see... also... next chapter, madara is finally free, exciting stuff. See you then!
