The She-Devil

by Kourtney Uzu Yato

My own take on the Neglected Naruto trope, all I can say is that this Naruko has a chip in her shoulder and a large ax to grind. Let's see where the story takes us.

5. Chapter V: The She-Devil's Waltz

Chapter V - The She-Devil's Waltz

Happy New Year everyone! I'm terribly sorry for the long wait!

[With Naruko]

As she left the trail of her home, she erased her scent and made to find a private spot between her home and the rest of Konoha for a bit of privacy. Once she found it, she rolled up her left arm sleeve and out-stretched her limb before she carved a deep line into her flesh letting the blood flow to the surface before she made to manipulate the life-holding liquid to her bidding as it rose before her, until about a pint of her blood remained still in the air before she healed herself.

She gathered the blood, condensing it into a hardened ball that she filled with chakra, turning it from a dark scarlet color to a navy-tinted black. As she tossed the ball up in the air, a few times to make sure it was the exact firmness she needed, she reeled her arm back before throwing it into the air and once it reached the height she need, she made it explode as the contents quickly dispersed into the air to be carried away by the wind as the chakra and blood mixture shifted into various butterflies and native Konoha birds that spread themselves far and wide across the village as she continued to walk, images quickly went through the front of her mind.

By the time she reached the entryway towards one of the smaller roads that led further into the village, she got a clear view of all of her current targets, and their locations along with the entirety of the situation and now it was on her to decide on where to strike first.

'Hmm, where to strike first? So many choices, so many different ways to go about it.'

Then she caught sight of the first watchtower, there were three civilian shinobi guarding it, as she made a mental map of all the watchtowers, she saw that all 25 watchtowers had civilian shinobi in them.

A leer fell on her lips, 'They must have been placed there to make sure I would receive no outside help. Such a pity. For them.'

She then stepped out of sight, turning invisible as she made her way towards Tower #1, and silently walked up to the top as she listened as one of the jounin said, "When is this shit going to kick off already?!"

The one across from him with a cigarette in his mouth said, "It will kick off soon. So shut it, if you make me miss any action I'll tear your face off."

"What the hell did you say to me, fucker!"

The third calmed down the first, "Now, now, we are all anxious here. The fun will start soon, so let's not try to rip out-Ughk!"

A dark claw-like finger pierced the third jonin's throat causing blood to spill from his slightly parted lips.

The second and first froze in horror as the man raised a hand towards them but before he could do anything else, his head was ripped off his neck, causing a splurt of blood to spill over, staining his jounin vest and the two remaining men before the corpse fell to the floor like a puppet without strings.

The second nearly choked on his cigarette, "What the fuck!"

The first looked around haphazardly before a short, childish laugh pierced through them both, making them pale as they turned towards the source of the noise to find right before them was Naruko herself, giving them a wave with a black demonic-looking hand, showing elongated claw-like fingers, the pointer of which was drenched with blood.

They couldn't move, they were frozen until Naruko's words shook them out of their shock, "What's wrong? Were we not going to have fun?"

They snapped into action as the second made to flee to warn the others while the third tried to strike her with a right punch, only for them both to freeze and collapse to the floor, paralyzed.

'Why can't I move?' The first thought

'My arms and legs are numb! What the fuck?!' The second spat as he could only glance up to see Naruko's boots as she let out a plume of dark smoke.

"Ah, poisons. Nature's bile. Don't worry, this is only a paralyzing agent. The thought of using the one where it caused your blood to boil was interesting, but I decided to save that for another group of you morons. Don't bother trying to speak, it would be a waste of your energy."

Their faces twisted into a grimace as Naruko stared down at them both, "Well, today's my lucky day because I get free reign to maul you as much as I like. You didn't think with the First's wish that you could attack and kill me with no consequence, did you? Especially in certain cases like this. You will suffer and die for your idiocy. Now, which to pick first?"

Then she looked at the second's face and said, "I remember you, it's been a while, hasn't it?"

He paled as beads of sweat started to form on his face.

"It seems you remember me too. Well, breaking your arms and busting one of your nuts will do that. Let me take care of your little friend here, first. Sit tight."

She turned to the first as he tried his best to scream for help, to escape, to do anything but his body refused to heed his commands, as Naruko kicked him over so he was laying on his back and made to slowly crush his head under her foot, his terrified smushed gaze staring pitifully at his companion before everything went dark, his head gave way under the pressure and sent a slurry of brain matter and blood everywhere.

A sigh escaped her, "Revolting." She wiped her foot on his chest as she then turned to smile at him, which caused him to piss himself, making her laugh, "Oh, how the mighty have fallen. You're not so high and mighty when you don't have your cronies to back you up when you want to maul an 8-year-old little girl, huh?"

She stood before him, unsympathetic blue eyes glaring down at watery pale green ones.

His mouth parted but all that was expelled was a puff of air.

"Don't you remember what you said? For a little bitch like you, I'll only half kill you and sell your miserable body to the highest bidder after I sample the goods first. If you manage to impress me, I'll let you be my cocksleeve and sell you only once a month. The mind remembers a lot of things, so how should I repay you for your ill-treatment? Don't bother, I already know how you can."

She ruffled through her bag and pulled out a transparent flask with a white liquid, forcing his jaw open before pouring the contents down his throat.

She knelt before him, "You're probably wondering what the fuck I just poured down your throat, huh?"

His eyes widening was the only thing he could do as Naruko continued, "It's a little something I made, while I was in the Academy. Let's just say your body will twist and break beyond what you think is capable. Savor it until the end."

She stood up, leaned against the least blood-stained wall of the watchtower, and waited for the show to start.

His mind was a whirlwind of panic and fear, he could feel his body temperature rise as sweat started to dampen his clothes before his body reacted with his right leg violently bent backward as his mouth went wide in a silent agonized scream. The bones in his shin snapped and cracked in an unholy symphony that rang through the air as Naruko watched with a bored, disinterested stare.

The fingers in his left hand started to bend and twist to the point of dislocation, snapping again and again until his fingers resembled nothing more than rough-looking meat sacks before the carpal bones in his right wrist became crushed as if they were peanuts before all the bones that remained in that arm followed suit.

Then his left leg twisted, snapped, and broke which caused all his muscles to resemble a piece of roughly wrapped-up taffy, tendons, blood vessels, and ligaments all twisted in a horrid way that would make demons cringe.

Each bone in his extremities suddenly shattered at once, which made a horrid sound of shit being released as his face twisted into something that couldn't be described in any language, far too many emotions fluttered across his face before the main ones that could be distinguished were pain and mortification as the poison started on the rest of his body, crushing and twisting everything and the last thing he saw before his eyes burst was the cold, blue gaze that would follow him to Hell.

After several more snaps, the body immediately untangled itself before marinating in its' own filth.

It was over within three minutes.

She huffed, as she jumped out of the tower, whispering, "On to the next."

Naruko then disappeared from sight and quickly made her way to the second tower, where six people were stationed, two were facing the nearest gate, two were facing the Hokage Tower and the remaining two were split to guard the other two sides.

She made her way to the top of the tower and sat in a meditative stance as she extended her senses to the people below her, all six people were going about their business. She made to focus until she could finally hear it, their heartbeats and the flow of their blood running through their veins.

A dark leer settled on her face, 'Now, that's an idea.'

Soon enough, one of them noticed that there was no movement in watchtower #1.

"Oy, Demi, message Tower #1."

"Alright, alright, keep your panties on," the chunin yawned as she pulled out a transmitter and clicked it twice, "Come in Tower 1, this is Tower 2, respond."

Dead silence was all that was heard.

She tried again, "Tower 1, this is Tower 2, respond."

A cold feeling of dread started to well up in her stomach as she let out a breath to expel some of her nervousness.

"D-do you think she already got them?"

"With none of us noticing?!" One of the jounin snorted

"What do we do?"

"Fuckin' leave is a good start."

"You want to leave before the party even started?"

"If the party started with her knocking off one tower before any of us could realize, I want out."

Before any of them could retort, the transmitter buzzed, and a male voice followed, "This is Tower 5 calling Tower 2, I repeat, this is Tower 5 calling Tower 2, are you active?"

The female chunin replied, "Yeah, this is Tower 2, we're all active, what is it?"

"All of you need to evacuate immediately, everyone in Tower 1 is dead. The target is responsible and she is right on top of your tower."

Three seconds...That's all it took for watchtower #2 to be drenched in blood as it seeped through the floor and started to stain the ground red with blood.

When the last fragment of the jonin's words registered in their brains, their bodies subconsciously activated their fight or flight mode which quickly caused all six occupants' heart rates to spike upwards as Naruko simultaneously clapped in unison to which they all as if they were an overloaded balloon that has been poked by a pin, violently exploded.

The sound of chunky bile hit the ground with a choked-out, "Son of a fuck-" Before the transmission was cut.

A grin settled on her face as she nodded, "God, I love it when hard work pays off."

She then stepped out of sight as the Tower 5 occupants were freaking out.

"The little bitch is coming! She already knocked off two towers!" The one who had been speaking groaned, wiping his mouth on his sleeve.

"We can take her, come on!"

The one next to him sighed, "We need to get to lower ground and gather our forces, then we can crush her together."

"Don't you want to get the glory of killing her by ourselves?"

"Ourselves aren't enough to deal with her. That was one of the main reasons for her high bounty. Don't be an idiot."

"Are you saying we can't take on a barely minted genin?"

"It seems you have been smoking too much of the civilian's shit, Bennie, this is a girl that has tossed around adult civilians trice her size and other chunin and jounin with nothing but taijutsu, I like our odds with more people now stop being a cunt so we can get down."

Naruko's voice interrupted Bennie's retort, "Such a shame you won't be able to have that chance, though."

All six occupants snapped their heads up towards the ceiling to find her sitting upside down as she waved at them.

"You-"

"Kill he-ack!"

They all stiffened and clawed at their chests as their faces twisted in agony, their eyes were on the bored expression Naruko had she slowly curled her hand into a fist, they could do nothing but collapse, clawing and straining to breathe until they felt something burst in their chests before they all fell still.

She just sighed, "Worthless, absolutely worthless."

Naruko then stepped out of sight, just a mere moment before a massive fireball swallowed the entire Watchtower, the occupants of Tower 4 watched as it burned.

One of the four asked through gritted teeth, "Is she dead?"

Only to nearly shit himself when he felt a hand grab his face as Naruko appeared before them, "Not quite."

She then crushed his head like a grape.

"Holy shit!" A female chunin squeaked as she collapsed to the floor.

"Oh fuck me!" A male jounin armed himself with a pair of kunai

"Damn you!" A female jounin made to tackle her, only for Naruko to smack her, causing her head to turn 360 degrees before collapsing dead.

The remaining jounin tried to stab her only to get their head kicked off their shoulders as it exited the tower only to land on a nearby building rooftop.

The last one pissed herself as she stuttered out, "P-please-"

Naruko simply crushed her throat before snapping her neck, silencing her forever.

She shook off the remains on her hands before turning her attention to Tower 3 and made her way over as she stepped out of sight once again.

"Dude, she's coming, what the fuck do we do?"

He got smacked upside the head, "We do what we do best. We kill her! Now-"

The prideful boast was forever cut off by the jounin being cut in half by a blade of wind as Naruko appeared before the remaining two with a smile.

The second screamed, "Fuck this!" and made to escape as he made to run as fast as he could, but Naruko snapped her fingers, which shattered their legs, making them scream in agony as they landed on his now mangled legs before Naruko silenced him with a single kunai to the back of his head.

The remaining two stared at her, one of them was shivering in his shinobi boots, his eyes wide with horror.

The other one spat at him, "Pathetic weakling, scared of a mere weed of a girl."

He confidently made his way before her as Naruko tilted her head, "Not scared? Courageous or just stupid?"

"Courageous, with your defeat at my hands I will be forever revered, now, my name is-" *SPLAT!*

Naruko smashed his head like a pumpkin, leaving the remains to collapse to the floor.

"Hmph, boring, does he always talk so much?"

The last one slumped to the floor in horror at the girl before him.

She tutted, "Guess, I won't get an answer, huh?"

The stench of urine and shit filled the area as he kneeled as low as he could and started to cry, blubbering, "Please, please forgive me! I'm sorry! I'll never try to touch you again! I'll never look at you ever again! Let me go and I'll leave, I'll go as far as you want, I'll even go over the Wall if you want me to! Just...please!"

He smashed his head against the filthy blood-soaked ground, "Show mercy! Please! Let me live!"

Naruko stared at the pathetic form beneath her as she shook her head, 'To think the once arrogant man proclaiming to put an end to the troublemaking nature of the blight of the Hokage ended up in such a state.'

It sickened her to her very core as she scoffed, "Mercy?"

He flinched as if he was struck with a whip at the soft, emotionless tone.

"Now, my dear, pathetic jounin-" She grabbed him by his hair, forcing him to look at her as she continued, "How can you expect mercy when you have shown absolutely none in turn? I'm fully aware of your...side business as well and what you desire to have as your main attraction."

Tears and mucus ran down his face like a faucet but before could muster up any strength to speak, Naruko grabbed his jaw and ripped it off, as she made to mutilate him as his horrid screams rang out throughout the tower, terrifying the many other tower occupants and unnerving various jounin ninjas who were watching the entire scene.

Yugao was watching along with several others, "Shouldn't we do something?"

Hayate sighed, "We can't remember. No matter how much you or anyone else would want to." He coughed

"But the civilians using their wish to do this?"

"Even if we want to scream to the heavens, they won't heed us, Yugao. No one can interfere unless we want to boot the Hokage from his position, no one else can even come close to his status and I refuse to be under Danzo's reign. I'll let the sun die before that."

A sigh escaped her as she and many others, in the shadows or out in the open, watched as Naruko tore the man apart.

"Besides,-" A broken, mutilated body fell from the tower, splattering onto the ground, causing several civilians to scream in horror and raced away, "She's got this."

They watched as Naruko flicked the blood off her hands and step out of sight once again.

Another jounin with a bandana wrapped around their neck, asked, "Makes you wonder, how the hell she managed to do such a thing?"

"We can wonder, but I'm not willing to be on her bad side to figure it out," Hayate stated

"She really lives up to her parents, huh? And I thought Lady Kushina's rages were scary."

Another jounin snorted, "That's not Lady Kushina's temperament, that's all Lord Minato's."

A shudder raced down the spines of many jounin as they recalled one of the most terrifying days to be an associate of Iwa.

"Let's just stay out of her way."

Others nodded in agreement and made damn sure to stay out of the kid's way as she had a graveyard of bones to pick.

Naruko continued to move, 'I should probably pick off a checkpoint before they get any bright ideas. They probably heard I knocked off five towers by now.'

She took to the sky while still remaining invisible to the invaders below, mulling around like a bunch of maggots festering in a septic wound.

Then she heard it, their voices filled with panic, disdain, fear, and loathing.

"Repeat that! Because I did not just hear what I thought you said, that pissant took out five towers?!"

"Exactly what I said! The target had already taken down five towers! This is not a joke! Be on the lookout and kill on sight. She attacks with no mercy!"

Several of the group looked unnerved as they talked.

"We need to prepare!"

"Fuck preparing, the arrogant little bitch will get what's coming to her."

"Didn't you hear what he said?"

"I know already damn you, but I couldn't care less, she will die before the day is out!"

"God, this is insane."

Another groaned as he rubbed his eyes before he looked at the sky only to fall on his ass in shock as Naruko decided to show herself, having enough of letting them chat amongst themselves.

His scream alerted everyone as they followed his gaze to see Naruko floating before them, terrifying and unnerving most.

"She's flying!"

"No shit, what the fuck is she?!"

"She's a demon!"

"A devil!"

"Who the fuck cares! Just fire your jutsus!"

"Fire all the jutsu and weapons you can! We'll bring her down!"

The group immediately flipped through handsigns and fired their jutsus and weapons at their target and moneybag as flame, wind, water, and earth jutsu filled the air along with a variety of throwing weapons and explosion tag-laced kunais.

Naruko simply prevented them from coming any further, as she clapped her hands before curling her fingers and pulling them apart forcing a banner of chakra-enhanced wind toward the jutsus and weapons which canceled the jutsus on sight and sent the weapons spiraling off course as several explosions were barely avoided or put a dent in their forces on the ground.

"What the fuck?!"

They were stupefied, before one of them ordered, "Fire again! Aim at her again!"

Naruko noted, 'It seems one of them has some semblance of leadership. No matter, he'll die just like the rest.'

Regardless, as they were shaking off their shock, Naruko flipped through multiple handsigns in quick succession as she inhaled all the air she could into her lungs before she pressed her right hand against her chest and released the poisonous mist and liquid, a dense, heavy mist that quickly fell to the enemies below burning their throat and lungs and a heavy viscous liquid that fell on enemies.

Screams then filled the air as they tried to remove the liquid from their bodies, but it ate away at their bodies, their chakra systems were going haywire as their skin started to blister and melt from the acid-like gas and mucous-like liquid. The pain was something they never experienced and the sun bore down on them, making the agony worse.

As she spat out the remains from her mouth with a smile on her face, she took a deep breath as she flipped through more hand signs, one of the few that still had a semblance of coherency screamed out to his compatriots, "She's gonna fire another jutsu!"

"Fire Style - Fireball jutsu!" She hissed as blew a medium-sized fireball at the crowd below her, once the flames hit the acid-like gas and liquid concoction, then...

KaBoom!

KaBoom!

KaBoom!

KaBoom!

KaBoom!

The acid and flame mixture detonated as if a bunch of firecrackers were in fact high-grade explosives only the Mad-Bomber of Iwa would be ballsy enough to use.

Screams quickly died out as bodies turned to ashes, the last one before he could burn and turn to ash as he stared at the girl standing above the flames, he croaked out his last words, "The Devil's daughter?"

Then he burned to death just like the rest of them, leaving nothing but ashes and flames that licked at the remains. Naruko chuckled at the man's last words, "The Devil's daughter, huh? How fitting."

She recalled the other moniker Minato inherited after the war, or rather an Iwa-given moniker, 'The Devil of Konoha' for his slaughter of the majority of Iwa's forces and how most of what remained of that gutted force suicided to escape the horror of that slaughter, delivered to them by a beast in a man's skin prowling across the filthy battlefield, drenched in blood and viscera with an aura of malice and killing intent, the fear of that day was etched into the heart of every citizen and shinobi of Iwa.

Naruko then collected all the flames in the palm of her hand and crushed them into nonexistence, leaving nothing but quickly fading embers and a black-as-hell scorched Earth.

She looked up and collected herself before she felt something tingle at the side of her head, as she looked through her mind and noticed some activity towards the West gate of Konoha, a group of 15 were milling around where they shouldn't be, she cycled through the remaining towers that were still under surveillance that she hadn't cleaned out yet.

Three watchtowers were now empty and the occupants were on the ground and were making a break for it.

'Hmph, seems they have some sense, but they are not going to get very far.' She quickly made her way over there to prevent them from leaving.

[West Gate of Konoha]

Naruko stood on top of the gate and observed a group of 15 individuals, and she could tell that 13 were civilian shinobi with two bandits fleeing from the Watchtowers. A large grin settled on her face as she waited for them to get closer before she took a step off the gate and landed gracefully before them.

They skidded to a stop, ten feet separated the group from her as she tutted at them, "Tsk, tsk, 13 shinobi abandoning their posts to save their own skin, even in cahoots with two no-name bandits. Such a shame. I can feel the previous Hokages roll around in their graves."

Several of them backed up, while three of them armed themselves, two with swords and another with a pair of kunai. The bandits were fidgeting and waited for any sure sign to flee from this lion's pit.

One of the bandits was in a cold sweat, 'It wasn't supposed to be like this! This job was supposed to be easy!"

A male chunin nearly soiled his pants at the smile of the demon wearing a girl's face. He gritted his teeth as he trembled before he screamed, startling his compatriots as he rushed towards her in a suicidal charge with a kunai.

Naruko didn't bother moving nor did his charge remove the smile on her face, as soon as he struck out with his kunai she vanished before the left heel of her combat boot pierced his brain, which made his eyes roll to the back of his head as salvia spilled from his parted lips before he collapsed. She removed the heel with a simple gesture before she turned to what remained of the group.

They looked at her horrified, and one of them couldn't help but say, "What kind of monster are you?"

She didn't bother answering as she rushed forward, which sent the rest into a tailspin as they made to either flee or gather more men to fight against the menace before them. Naruko made to crush any hope of escape as the two bandits raced further into the village as soon as she killed the chunin, but she tore open both of their throats causing them to bleed to death, 'Three down.'

The twelve remaining glared at her, fear more prominent on some faces than others, while the rest were torn between quickly apparent despair or indignation. She then vanished before their very eyes and then one after another, they fell apart in bloody chunks, leaving her arms drenched in blood and viscera as she flicked off the excess on the ground.

She stretched out the kinks in her back before she slowly turned her head to see Anko sitting on the rooftop, staring at what she had just done. Naruko held her gaze for five seconds before she broke her gaze and made her way deeper into the village.

Anko felt a cold shiver run up her spine, but once the girl was out of sight, she settled on a long whistle of appreciation.

'Damn that kid is on a violent, bloody tear. And I thought I had bad days. No wonder Iruka told me to keep my distance and not get on her bad side. It's like hearing stories about Minato during the war all over again.'

She unsealed a scroll that contained a bag of popcorn and a soda and made to watch the rest of the madness with the rest of the jounins, they were drawing up a betting pool and she planned on scoring big.

As she ventured further into the village and saw the mess she made of the Watchtowers, she refused to shudder, but solidified one thing in her mind, 'No wonder Minato was chosen over Orochimaru, the difference is far too great, and considering his daughter is just like him only with an ax to grind, I hope these morons don't push her to be on the opposing side of the battlefield.'

Akira could only watch with glee as Naruko ripped through the miserable maggots as if they were wet paper it only made his heart swell with joy and ecstasy.

A sigh escaped him as he continued to watch, "The desire for you only grows bigger and bigger by the minute, love. You're still the absolute menace I fell in love with at first sight."

Naruko continued to move, as she felt her nose itch but she brush off the urge to sneeze as she made to focus on the task at hand, she already cleared one chokepoint and the occupants of Watchtowers 1-8, and now she was at the second chokepoint.

She settled in the trees and made her observation, thirty men with a variety of weapons waiting for their signal to begin their mayhem on the grand village of Konoha.

One of them strolled away from the main group to take a piss and Naruko pulled out a dark leather bag and pulled out a large scarlet seed and fired it into the back of the bandit's head, making their head slam against the tree they were pissing on, disorientating them as they collapsed on the wet ground. His body twisted and lurched before his jaw wrenched open and all his teeth fell out before being quickly and painfully replaced with sharp incisors as he sluggishly got up. Saliva mixed in with blood spilled from his lips and down his chin, the veins in his face started to bulge and twitch, and the sclera in his eyes turned red as his irises lost their color.

He made to stare up at the sun before the scent of blood hit him and lurched forward, a blank, hungry look on his face as Naruko made to follow after him from the shadows before she watched as his companions witnessed him come back, or rather stumbling back.

One of them came close, "Dude did you get ambushed?"

The man didn't respond as he continued to stumble before he nearly fell but was caught as the man who caught him released a groan, "God, you smell like piss!"

He was gonna shove him away but the man grabbed him and took a bite out of his face, causing him to scream as his unnatural face was now on full display to the rest of the group, making them scream and curse as the man continued to attack the one he grabbed.

However, one of them rushed forward and put all his strength into kicking off the madman's head, as another dragged the mauled man away. The man choked and gurgled from the agony of his mauled face before he vomited on the one who pulled him away as the seed that was embedded into the first man's head was turned into a leech-style, vinelike appendage that pierced the man's chest before he went into a series of spasms while the man trembled and shook before they became infected and made to lash out at the group.

Naruko simply watched as they turned on each other, crippling their compatriots to get away, only to fall devastatingly short. Before she knew it, all that remained were slow shallow breaths of those who would soon fall silent. Blood turned the ground a disgusting red that would soon attract vermin and maggots to a buffet.

'They just fell apart like a house of cards in a strong breeze.'

She flipped through multiple handsigns and said, "Decay Style - Cold Wind!"

Naruko blew a surplus of black-tinted air across the entire scene, causing them to quickly dissolve and disappear as if they were dumped in a bath filled with lye, all that was left was the blood-stained ground. Then she dusted her hands clean and made her way back into the village to finish off the next set of towers.

At Watchtower #10, Naruko saw four individuals that searched for any sign of the target of the day, the dear blight of their beloved Fourth Hokage. She decided to use a bit of mischief and used an illusion of her stepping out of nowhere and settling down on the 10th watchtower's rooftop, paying no attention to the freaking out from the occupants of the 9th watchtower across from her. However, the cause of that freakout wouldn't be any concern of the occupants of Watchtower 10 as a civilian shinobi from the 9th tower blew a fireball jutsu at the tower, killing all the occupants in a blazing inferno.

"Bro, what the fuck!"

He harshly snapped, "Shut the fuck up! That bitch already took out far too many and if the sacrifice of a few could finally wipe that bitch off the map, then so be it! I'll deal with the collateral damage claim later!"

They watched the tower burn along with the corpses, but they found no sight of Naruko.

A female jounin stuttered out, "D-did you get her?"

"No," Naruko coldly stated, smacking off the head of the female jounin.

"Where the fuck are you? Come out and face us!"

"Wow, facing maggots head-on? If you insist?" She showed herself as a male chunin tried to stab her from the side with a katana only for it to snap in half, much to his horror.

She could only laugh, "A cheap sword for a cheap man, how vile. She then tore out his throat, leaving him to bleed to death before turning to the last one who shot the fireball.

"Even if you are a piece of shit, I give you props for attempting to kill me even though your comrades, but you should have made sure the person you're aiming at is real and not an illusion."

He stuttered but Naruko finished him, caving his head in and ensured his death with two air bullets, one to the gap between the collarbone and neck and the other directly in the center of his heart.

She yawned as she left Watchtower #9 to go to the next chokepoint before she picked up the sound of a fist meeting flesh and a high-pitched shriek that was quickly silenced with a sharp slap. Naruko couldn't really stop herself as she made her way toward the sounds of a scuffle and she could hear distinguishing voices.

A young male voice said, "Please! Please stop!"

"Shut up, dammit!"

Another harsh slap cracked through the air that was then followed by a whimper.

As Naruko made her way around the corner she saw, two children that were covered in bruises and scrapes, and what she saw from her eyes all over the village, 'Man-Killer Hex' was standing over them with a sharp blade ready to behead them both.

"Say your goodbyes brat-" Naruko then cut her off by kicking her so hard in the ass that she was forced through an entire building with an imprint of her boot on her ass.

The children looked terrified, the girl was an older sister with a younger brother who looked at her with uncertainty and fear, the older sister was roughed up a lot more than her sibling, 'She must have protected him.'

A small, soft smile settled on her lips as she recalled a group of ragamuffins she had under her command, they were dirty, they fought and talked dirty and she loved them. But shoved those memories back into the dark and fixed her expression into a neutral one.

She pointed a finger at them as the boy curled further into his sister's body as his sister gave as good as a glare she could manage as she braced for the worst.

"Healing Style - Caladrius' Touch."

When the jutsu activated, it wasn't blue or green, it was white, the pain was gone and their bruises and scrapes faded as if they were never there.

Once she canceled the jutsu, their faces were riddled with shock, "You two need to run and don't look back, do you understand?"

They nodded and did what she ordered, once they were far enough, she turned to see Hex glaring at her with loathing and with some interest.

"I thought you would be colder from what I've heard."

"I kicked your ass so hard it left an imprint, I think I'm cold enough, I'm not so much of a cunt that prowls after those younger than me, though."

"Hmph," she scoffed before she smiled, "Either way, you came to me first. I'll make sure you're begging before the day is out."

"Oh no, I just heard the scuffle on my way for better things than dealing with your bitch ass."

"Excuse you?"

Naruko gave her a mocking smile, "Oh don't you worry, I'll come for you later, you see crushing you now wouldn't do me much good as I want to savor your death, and I have more pressing matters to deal with. So if you could be a dear and please choke on your tongue or wait patiently for your death so I have less work? I'd appreciate that."

She then stepped out of sight, as Hex threw a major temper tantrum, raging and nearly tearing out her hair, "Did that little bitch just brush me off as inferior?!"

She put in a call on her radio and harshly tapped her foot when it was answered with a sloth-like "Yes?"

"Get everyone ready, all twenty of them, I want all the prime pieces of meat ready to go, before the hour is out. I'll make that bitch a prime piece of my own personal collection."

Naruko watched her outburst with a shake of her head as she watched the scene from the rooftop, above her.

'It's so easy with people like her...'

She made her way to chokepoint #3, 42 people were already informed of Naruko cutting through multiple watchtowers and two other chokepoints, before any of them could flee, however, she jumped out of the trees and landed before them, as their attention was her and not the ground, they didn't notice the chakra spread through the entire area of the earth they were standing on.

Before they could anything, the ground crumbled underneath them causing them to fall into a quickly expanding hole that swallowed all their men, those who had the smarts to move were caught into a silent whirlwind before being chucked into the pit. They were left in agony, those who died instantly were lucky, and those who were crippled by the fall would find it to be claustrophobic nightmare fuel.

Curses and cries were nothing but muffled noise in her ears as she stretched out both of her arms before quickly bringing them together quickly slamming the Earth prison around them closed as if it was never open. Snuffing out the lives of 42 people with the utmost ease.

"Hmph," she walked over them and then stepped out of sight once again.

[Redacted Location]

A massive dark-style living room and on the massive couch in the middle of the room was De Vil himself, with an abundance of food and drinks as he cackled while smoking a cigar at the slaughter fest on the wide screen before him.

Once he saw a particular bloody kill Naruko made, he laughed uproariously before he coughed and spat a wad of phlegm at Rabbit's face who barely avoided it with a slight gesture of his head, thankfully, he didn't comment on it as he silently thanked Naruko for teaching him and the rest how to avoid the loogie from Hell. A vile combination of lung tar, snot, and plaque-laced salvia made a mixture that demonic children used as prank bombs in Hell. Getting hit with one was pure hell, an instant stomach-turner, the punishment for daring to treat any part of him, expelled from his body or attached to his very being as if it was disgusting was...more of it.

The rest knew not to show any form of emotion and barely any moment as they were watching the carnage along with him. They knew Naruko, even if she had to tear through them which she would to get to the fat fuck, she'd make him suffer and if they had to watch that from Hell, they'd gladly take it.

There are five of them, were once under Naruko's command as she made them what they were now, powerful tools, only to be used amongst the dark and discarded during the day. Her dream was to bring them to the light, to live with her, and have the peace that was so denied them. Only to have that dream shattered and their team completely separated and she was removed entirely from them. Now trapped in two different worlds with the same face due to the machinations of a traitor and a group of people who just didn't know when to quit. They knew they were on borrowed time, but used it to memorize their commander's features in their brains, her words, her methods, they knew better than to wonder about 'if's'. They could only rely on certainty, that's what kept them from perishing like those who fell before them.

Codename: Cat [Female], known as the Left Leg of Naruko's squad stood at 5'3" with spiky orange-red hair with baby blue eyes, she had three scars carved into each cheek that were burned to remain, her skin was fairly toned, but she had multiple scars from various whippings and stitches from countless fights that tore at her flesh. She had branding mark bands on her thighs.

Codename: Dog [Male], known at the Right Arm of Naruko's squad stood at 5'6" with black hair with yellow-tinted brown eyes that had slits for pupils, he had scars over his eyes, his throat had stitches and so did the corners of his mouth up to his ears from his jaw being pried open, they decided he was too valuable to die and wired it back with little anesthetic and was given sharp dark metallic teeth replacements, instead of the usual dentin and enamel. His branding mark bands were on his back and legs.

Codename: Rabbit [Male], known as the Right Leg of Naruko's squad stood at 5'5" with spiky white hair that was once blond due to stress, pale skin married with whip marks and stitches, his eyes that were once green were replaced with black market eyes from the slaughtered Koowlong's accursed clan after he got them ripped out from a very violent death match. It amplified his abilities, but it affected him with its' madness, he wore a face mask that covered the lower half of his face as due to a punishment from De Vil, he carved a smile into his face and had it stitched and nailed that way. His branding mark bands were on his waist and neck.

Codename: Crocodile [Male], known as the Spine of Naruko's squad stood at 5'7" with cropped dark brown hair with black eyes, and slightly tanned skin married with burns and scars from countless fights. He had two large burn scars on his wrists and ankles from being constantly restrained due to the drug doping experiments they performed on him. His branding mark bands were on his shins and forearms.

Codename: Monkey [Female], known as the Left arm of Naruko's squad stood at 5'5" with short brown hair with a few strands that framed her face, a pair of hazel green eyes, her skin was fair, but was covered in countless defensive wounds from battles and whippings. Her branding mark bands were on the top of her biceps and the bottom of her thighs.

De Vil gave a massive, hacking laugh as he chewed on his cigar, once it tampered off, he gave a large leer at the image of her, "That brat is still a monster. Get moving, brats."

They all immediately stood and bowed, "Yes, my Lord," before they blinked out of existence as he turned his attention towards the special peony branding iron he had crafted just for her. He had it polished with his own blood and semen as a way to firmly mark her as his property before he had his way with her. He would finally have her beaten and broken underneath him and he would reap the benefits of having her under his complete control. If he had his way, she would never see the sun again and spend the rest of her life chained to his bed.

He laughed at the idea of her broken and could do nothing but service him before it developed into a coughing fit which then caused him to release a wet fart before hacking out another hell loogie.

Naruko made to attack the four jounins residing in Watchtower #11, Naruko struck out first with the person before her, blasting a hole in their torso, making them collapse as the three remaining sprung to action, but Naruko made to repeat the same, but kicked out with her right leg to the opponent to her right. Shattering their ribs when she forced a pulse of chakra through her leg, it rigged his heart to explode as he collapsed in a broken heap.

She used her arms that pierced through both of their diaphragms, the area below the lungs, before tearing her fingers through their torso, causing them to bleed out and perish. Then she flicked the blood and viscera off her fingers as she made her way to Watchtower #12.

However, that situation was different from the rest so far, they knew she was coming, but they had kidnapped a civilian child and held a kunai to her throat.

"Now you demonic bitch, you will surrender or this kid gets it!"

She raised an eyebrow at them, "You know made a grave mistake, right?"

"Do you think we didn't see you heal those two brats? You can't kill us as I have a hostage!"

"It seems you still think like a civilian even though you've been wearing a ninja headband for longer than I've been alive."

"Wha-" SPLURT!

The man screamed as a clone grabbed the kid and brought her to stand behind her as the man collapsed to his knees, soiling himself from the agony of losing his arms, his two buddies were now horrified at the blank look on Naruko's face.

She didn't look at her clone before saying, "Take the kid back to safety, once she's safety inside her home, dispel."

The clone nodded and did what she was ordered as she made to crack her knuckles, a cold sigh escaped her.

Meanwhile, the clone made to move, the girl was shocked and silent before she flinched as she heard the sounds of men screaming before they were quickly silenced as she looked at Naruko's face or rather her clone's face. She heard stories about her from her parents, that she was a troublemaker and prankster but she looked to be just as serious as any ninja she happened to come across on her usual walk to the park with her mom.

Before she could work up the nerve to ask something, they were already home.

Naruko gently placed her on her own two feet before she knocked harshly on the door and rang the doorbell.

A surprised voice called out, "Coming, I'm coming, please stop with the knocking and ringing of the doorbell."

Naruko then disappeared from sight as the door opened, leaving only the girl there.

Her mother took her up in her arms, "Jasmine, where were you? I thought I sent you to the store to buy milk, did you get cut? why is there blood on your dress?!"

Once she was pulled inside, a cloud soon appeared before quickly vanishing as with the real Naruko, the Watchtower was a violent mess of blood, viscera, and body parts as she wanted to spit. Hostage takers were always the worst in her eyes.

"You should know better, you were always going to die, taking a hostage just brought you more pain than others."

She made her way to Watchtower #13 where only three stood, shaking and shuddering as she came toward them as if she was taking a stroll through the park.

One of them tried to speak only to have their neck snapped and made to repeat the same method with the other two before she fired an air bullet in the heart and throat for each of them to be absolutely sure.

Then she made her way to Chokepoint #4, with 24 people milling around waiting for their signal, but they would never hear it. She just watched over the scenery of them as she flipped through sixteen handsigns as whispered, "Mad Lust style - Lyssa's Maddening Cry."

Naruko then started to whistle, this harsh, violent tone that caught the attention of everyone in the area, she was thankful, this chokepoint was far away from the Inuzuka compound and their dogs, and she didn't need a riot of them on her hands. The whistle then changed its tune alternating between high and low, causing disorientation and sickness as they felt nausea and migraines.

The whistling continued and at first, it was irritating and they spread out to search for the source as it started to make them feel sick as they broke out in a cold sweat caused several of them started to slow down from the pain before they made to collapse before snarling broke out amongst them.

The whistling then started to rise in volume and then turned into screaming which echoed throughout their surroundings.

"What the fuck?!"

Then one of them met the drooling, foam-covered mouth of one of their compatriots as they tore out their throat.

This led to a chain reaction as if we were all puppets under the control of an individual as the madness wiped away their sense of self, their cognition, and the ability to do anything about it. The song of madness lasted three minutes and that was all it took for them to rip themselves apart.

She then stepped out of sight, leaving only a single observer who could only clap at the scene before him.

'Monster' Aramaki had a large grin on his face as he looked over the massacre of 24 people with a low-appreciated whistle, "Not bad brat, not bad at all. No wonder Iwa pisses themselves at the sight of your father, you're both cut from the same horrible cloth."

He then made his leave after satisfying his curiosity and knew the kid would make this day very interesting, at least she would put up a fight.

With Naruko, she made to walk until she stopped and she noticed a lack of movement through the butterflies and birds she created, in the nearby collection of watchtowers, there was nobody there. She mentally directed the birds to fly and give her more information only to find them in the midst of gathering forces of the people who attempted to 'put her in her place'. From what she could muster, they planned on using them as shields as Naruko only beat them near death, they thought she would have mercy and they could use that against her.

She scoffed, 'Maggots thinking they're safe, how foolish.'

Then she noticed, another source movement, it was Hex and she and her men were sniffing around the Aburame compound, a sigh escaped her as she summoned 20 shadow clones, and said, "Please place a protective barrier around each compound that will last for the next two days, work in pairs and quickly."

"Yes, boss."

They then vanished as she made to take care of the crowd of peons. 19 civilian shinobi, 15 civilians as she made to stand before them.

"Well, well, if it isn't the blight of our beloved Hokage!"

"To think you caused so much trouble, despite being the weakest of your siblings."

"You should learn your place!"

"You will pay for all the innocent blood you spilled today."

"Do you think you can get away with everything you've done?"

"We will be forever revered for finally putting you in your place!"

She stared at them as if they were ants milling about on the ground, her actions to their taunts quickly put a dent in their confidence, but they had numbers on their side, with even chunin and jonin-level ninjas. There was no way they could lose, but those that faced her and got away with broken bones and torn muscles knew through the best teacher life had.

Naruko would just wait for the right moment, like a great shark waiting to get the most prey or land a crippling, devastating blow on an enemy.

A civilian chunin, high from the elation of thinking he had protection yellowed, "You can't kill them, can you? You little shit! Even you can't kill civilians in cold blood!"

She let out a smirk, that immediately put a damper on their elation, "You lot are so fucking stupid. I can't kill them? Please, spare me. I've already killed a bunch of your lot already? It's been a rather fun day since you wrapped them up in this, well, I don't need to do anything but stomp them into the dirt, right?"

They paled, as this wasn't the reaction they were hoping for.

Naruko let out a sardonic giggle as she released her chakra and killing intent, freezing them in place as her hair tie undid itself from the influx of chakra as she summoned a massive blade of black that sucked in both light from the area and the hope of those around it. The massive blade looked like an iron slab that resembled a mix between an oversized fly swatter and Gut's Dragonslayer blade. Her hair started to split apart before she collected herself, letting only two pieces stick up as a pair of makeshift horns.

Her lips stretched in a massive grin at the despair of her enemies, they couldn't even beg or run, as she brought a violent end to all of their lives, in a horrid sticky mess, staining the ground in a horrid mess that no one would forget for a long time. She calmed herself and made to search for that miserable piece of trash. She knew his filthy scent mixed in with fear, that old fuck she maimed previously was probably far enough back to escape.

She knew now was a better chance than any as when she found him, he was trembling in his soiled robe as he was pressed up against the wall.

"Please, I'm sorry, mercy."

"Mercy? I'm out of it for miserable fuckwits like you. But I always wanted to do something," she pulled out a pair of dark green gloves and fastened them on her hands. They were plant-style gloves, made from the Gympie-Gympie plant or otherwise known as the suicide plant.

"Please, let me live. I'll leave the village, I'll never bother you again if you just let me go."

"What did you say when I gave you a chance to leave before I mauled that ass you have for a face?"

He was silent as he was now drenched in a cold sweat as she grinned at him with a much too happy grin, "You can leave after I have my fun with you."

She took great pleasure in castrating him as his screams echoed through the bloodstained alleyway, screams, and cries of violent agonizing pain, along with the subtle tearing of flesh.

All the occupants of watchtowers #14 through 18 have now returned to the dirt.

Suzume was a chunin that spent her years teaching kunoichi their gentle and feminine side, not to be lost among the nitty-gritty of shinobi-style work, however, she wished she never got out of bed today as she was terrified.

She woke up late due to it being her day off and she saw the massacre happening and what was going on, after she just gotten dressed she nearly pissed herself when she came across the mutilated corpse of one of her civilian ninja comrades.

When she demanded to know what was going on, a jounin said not to do anything as there was to be no interference unless you want there to be dire consequences, when asked for clarification, she was waved away and told to keep her head down as it would be over before the day was out.

Suzume made to get answers and stomped towards the nearest bar only to stop as she heard the sound of a pig being strangled before something smacked her right in the face, which caused her to fall on her butt.

She spluttered and wiped off the excess of what hit her only to be stung as she let out a sharp yelp from the pain. When she looked down at her hand and lap she saw someone's cock and balls in her lap, making her give a fangirl screech of horror and disgust before she collapsed, cracking her head against the sidewalk, pissing herself while she foamed at the mouth from horror.

A random passerby, tutted in dismay at the sad display.

A group of chunins passed by and did rock-paper-scissors and the loser had scissors and had to go get her. Once they did it three times, a blond with his headband tied around his right arm groaned as he heaved her up to have her lean on his side as he lugged her back to her apartment.

'Is this what classifies as a chunin nowadays?'

Once he dumped her on her couch and gave her a blanket to cover her modesty and prevent her from getting a cold he left and met up with his friends, another with brown hair hidden pulled away from his face through his headband stated, "Damn that's one scary ass kid."

Naruko then placed her gloves away as she knew the fucker had to decide on whether to bleed out or crawl through the sun, either way, it would be an experience he would never forget and it was a rather fitting punishment for him. If he didn't kill himself first.

She moved the butterflies and birds to give her visual on watchtowers 19-22 and she made to gather momentum as she moved through the rooftops, quickly gaining speed as she charged lightning and wind chakra into her arms and legs as she hissed, "Dragon style: Cobalt Royal Coil."

Naruko then attacked watchtower #19, as she weaved her way around them, four jounins were torn apart their arms, legs, and viscera were torn into ribbons and bloody pulp as around them was a cobalt-blue body of an Eastern-style dragon that coiled around them.

Watchtower #20's five occupants were compressed by the coil around the watchtower the wind chakra made the air and gravity around them first removed the oxygen from their lungs that caused the group to collapse on their hands and knees as they looked up only to see the sneering face of a dragon standing down at them from chest level before collapsing, into crumbled husks of dried muscle and bones with skin barely hanging on.

The three occupants of Watchtower 21 were fried with lightning so violent that it turned them into piles of dust, they couldn't even scream as every part of them was fried to the absolute limit with such a hellish pain that would remain etched into them even after they passed on the other side.

There used to be Watchtower #22 with six occupants as the head of the dragon of her technique roared down at them before it bite down at the tower, crushing them into a paste, the watchtower was now in a wretched state as the dragon slaughtered each and every occupant, with the last thing they saw was cold blue eyes and a massive set of teeth chomping down on them.

Once she finished she canceled the jutsu, leaving the blue haze to disappear into the air, Naruko yawned as she then stepped out of sight, leaving the ruined Watchtower soaked in the blood and viscera of its occupants to stand as a reminder of what she had done.

"Damn."

Obito was watching from the hospital room, the entire scene with a pair of binoculars as he could only blink at that technique, he refused to heed the urge to activate his Sharingan, but the sight of what she had just done was now burned into his mind regardless.

"I knew she was holding back, I didn't know that much. I need to have a long, long talk with Iruka. Having her as a genin is a practical insult to the rankings. She truly is Kushina and Minato's daughter, I don't why Kakashi thinks Mito or Memna can wipe the floor with her, Kyuubi, be damned."

[With Naruko]

She made to crush chokepoint #5 with a single air compression jutsu, spraying blood and viscera of thirty-five men everywhere once she released the jutsu, she collected the remains within a large ball of water, and all the blood and viscera tainted the water which tainted it a vile brown that gave it a consistency of sludge only more water-like before she converted the water to contain small multiple pockets of pure 100% oxygen enhanced with chakra. This would make sure they died where they stood as the filth and chakra would do their job on their bodies while the poisonous oxygen and chakra mixture would disappear once their lives were extinguished by the hellish mixture.

She made to get rid of chokepoint #6 since it was so close as she stared down at the gathering of maggots below her before she whistled, getting their attention before she dropped the massive ball of filth on top of them, leaving to shriek in horrific pain and disgust as she flipped through handsigns and said, "Decay Style: Phlegethon Swamp" the filth-laced water snatched every single of them before dragging them towards the center, the oxygen poisoning that was enhanced with chakra made it very easy to drag them in before she snapped her fingers and as if flushing a toilet, they disappeared into nothingness.

'To be nothing but another addition to her Hellish swamp, until they died, if they didn't become another bubbling pot of shit from the process.'

"Now, to take care of the rest of them. Only 12 left."

She raced forward to the remaining watchtowers as they couldn't bother with appearance sake as they fired everything and anything that could bring down the demon in a girl's human skin.

"What the fuck does it take to kill you?"

Naruko could only laugh as she said, "Far too many people have said those exact lines."

She then kicked off his head, one down, a civilian jounin made to smash her head in with his mace only to catch his partner, lethality crippling as she crushed his neck under boot, two down.

Then she made to pluck out the mace-wielder's heart which then caused him to stumble out of the watchtower and his head met a nasty corner of a building which put him down for the count. Three down.

Then she grabbed the arm of the civilian chunin that tried to punch the back of her head as she twisted it around before tearing it off and snapping their neck, severing the airway so they would drown in their own blood. Four down.

She moved on to Watchtower #24 where six were waiting for her on the ground, ready to give the fight of their lives. If it was anyone else, she would have humored them, possibly respected their offer of a fight to the death, but she held no such compassion for the people before them.

They would die without a fight, her own fuck you, as she flipped through handsigns before she looked at all of them and said one single word, Perish.

As if the strings that connected them to this mortal plain were cut, they all collapsed, blood trailing down their eyes, noses, ears, and mouths, they would now return to dust as she stepped over them and made her to the last two. Ten down.

The last two were furious and horrified, this wasn't supposed to happen, it was supposed to be simple and easy, she was supposed to die screaming.

They placed all the exploding tags on themselves in a final ditch effort as they waited for her to come up to them.

"You're the last of the group. How does it feel for your plans to bear only rotting seeds?"

They screamed, "Fuck you!"

"If we're going to die it's going to be on our terms! See you in Hell, you vile bi-" Ka-boom!

The explosion collapsed the last Watchtower, leaving nothing but smoke as she waved the smoke away from her face, the scene left a bad taste in her mouth.

Twelve down.

"Worthless, absolutely worthless."

She made to check in on her shadow clones to find that did their tasks but saved the Uchiha compound for last as it was the largest.

Naruko groaned, stretched her back, and made her way over there, towards the last chokepoint with what remained of them. The final big appetizer before she got the main course and then dessert before finally evening coffee.

Shiro watched from her own little corner of the village with a bucket of popcorn, a pile of chocolates, and a large drink, 'And off she goes, that girl is something else.' She swallowed another handful of popcorn as she watched the hellish force that was Naruko Uzumaki-Namikaze.

Akira only found himself more smitten as he waited for the prime opportunity, to beat her down to make her his and only his.

Monkey smiled as she felt the familiar chakra move through the village, 'It seems you've gotten even stronger since we last met, Naru-chan. I'm so happy.'

Dog was resting amongst the shadows, listening to the jounin converse over what Naruko has done so far, a large grin settled on his face, 'It seems our dear princess hasn't lost her touch at all. Good to know.'

Cat was residing in the trees near an empty park, where saw what remained of Naruko's slaughter of the towers, "I'm glad you're still okay, big sis."

Rabbit placed a hood over himself as he took a tour around the village, "Naru-chan still has it."

Croc just took a seat on a vacant bench hiding a smile as he thought, "Glad to see you're still kicking, princess."

Naoya was sitting on a roof and spat on a nearby civilian's head, who made to glare up at him only to be met with killing intent that made him piss himself and run away.

"So, she's able to handle some trash, I just hope she won't be a waste of my time."

Monster licked his lips at the thought of all that power under his control.

Hemlock, snorted as he watched the show unravel before him, although his eyes lost a bit of their dull haze as his excitement started to bubble to the surface, he was patient however, it's what allowed him to stand here today.

Hex sneered, "More trouble than I'd like, but it just means I have to go faster" as she directed her men to get what she wanted, her fine pieces of meat.

A variety of different gazes watched the scene unfold on Konoha, some of morbid curiosity, others of pure loathing, several of hope and interest, but all on the eldest child of the Fourth Hokage.

[Meanwhile...]

Naruko felt a smirk pull at her lips when she got the entire picture of the massive group that was near the outskirts, on the far west of the Uchiha clan district, only to find what looked to be within a rough estimate of 1800 people.

She stared down at them with glee at the sight of maggots converging waiting for some grand signal to start their siege on Konoha, to fulfill their most demented and depraved desires with no consequence, but then again, maggots don't think that far ahead due to what they were.

[Battle Song - Death March by Motionless in White]

She made her grand appearance by slamming into the middle of the collective of enemies before her, startling the majority due to the noise and force of her hitting the ground. She quickly straightened her back as they collectively backed up, she was surrounded on all sides.

The blood-drenched form of the girl before them, questions rang through their minds as they wondered so many things.

Who's blood is that?

Is it hers?

But she doesn't look hurt.

Is she pretending?

Is she stupid or just arrogant?

But standing like that in the middle of us despite the overwhelming numbers screams confidence.

She's scaring me.

Isn't she supposed to be dead or near death?

What the fuck have the others been doing?

She doesn't look like she's been running away.

Did she kill them?

If she did kill, did she get all of them?

No.

It's impossible?!

All twenty-five watchtowers and various chokepoints?

Is it even possible?

I mean, despite being the weakest, she is an Uzumaki.

Damn stamina freaks of nature.

What can we do?

Run?

Fight?

Naruko then cleared her throat, "Dear maggots that will meet the blazing inferno before the end of the day, please don't think too hard on this matter. You all need to do one simple thing. And that is to stay where you are so I can kill you quickly."

Her words were soft, yet firm, they carried an air of formality with a blunt edge that spoke nothing of the truth, that all of them were going to die and there wasn't a damn thing they could do about it.

As her words settled in, she disappeared from view. Some thought she was suicidal and went to call her bluff only to find her missing as they couldn't see her. Others were horrified by the cold, formal words that came from a girl that was half their size yet the truth of her words was clear. Not a single one of them was going to make it out alive.

Before anyone could give orders, heated and boiling blood, viscera, and body parts rained down in multiple sections across the outskirts, Naruko pulled out her blade, charging it with black lightning and flame chakra as she weaved her way through the massive force, removing those who were at the sidelines so they couldn't escape.

It left them in a state of absolute shock and horror and that's exactly where she wanted as she flipped through various handsigns and said, "Genjutsu style: Bridle of Silence."

She created a barrier surrounding what was left of the now unnerved group, of what used to be 1893 was now down to 1652 people. A yawn escaped her as her sword vanished and she removed her jacket and removed the limiters and gravity seals on herself as she stretched out her limbs.

One of them screamed, "What the hell did you do?!"

"Ah, you all are wondering what hell I'm bringing you today, right? Well, I decided I need a good warm-up before I deal with all the termites that are attacking Konoha, so as of right now, no one can use jutsu or weapons for I have not allowed it. Within this area alone, you all and I have no other option but to engage in physical combat."

She took off her boots as she made her way towards them as one of them could only burst out laughing, "You're insane! There's a limit to how much you can bluff, brat. There's one of you against all of us."

"Like I said, stupid, it's a warm-up for me. Nothing more, nothing less."

Another spoke out, a voice trembling with anger said, "You consider us to be a joke?"

"Hmm, not really, jokes are supposed to be funny. I consider your lot to be like the roasted chickpeas I eat for snacks after training. So, please sustain me until I get to the main course."

That tore it, as they all screamed and charged at her, all 1652 people were torn apart by her hands, staining the ground red with their fluids and viscera as she continued to fight and move, twist and spin until everyone fell silent. Those who attempted to flee the grounds were instantly vaporized to dust, as she laughed.

"You can't leave, the barrier will fall only if I release it or if you kill me. So, come at me like you're ready to die."

Her words either renewed their attempts or downright crushed the other's hopes of surviving as she ripped them, tens, to husbands staining the battlefield in their filth until the last one remained, kneeling up to the sky, prayers for someone to rescue him were unheeded, the squelch of meat and the snapping of bone rang through the air along with her footsteps towards him until he stared straight at her, a young girl not even half his age, drenched in blood.

He could only give a sardonic chuckle, "My entire life is now at its' end and what's it worth? A chickpea?"

"To be fair, chickpeas taste great when you want something straight and to the point, but on the other side, you'll meet the handful of civilians who caused your life to end up like this and you can rip them apart at your leisure when you meet them in Hell."

The edges of his lips curled upwards in a bitter smile, "At least that's something to look forward to."

She then lopped off his head with a clean strike through his neck, beheading him and killing the entire force of 1893 people before they could cause any damage.

[Battle Song End]

She then looked around at the mangled bodies with no mercy, "Fitting, you all crushed and ruined at my feet."

As she left them to rot, she made to remove the blood with her control of water chakra, letting it fall to the ground with ease before gathering her items and putting on her jacket and boots as she then came across Hex who was trying to escape with her gang of collectors as she made to round up the children early, she practically drooled over the several prized lumps of meat she managed to get, the grandson of the Third Hokage, Konohamaru Sarutobi, the second daughter of the Hyuuga clan head, Hanabi Hyuuga and even the niece of the Uchiha clan head, Rose Uchiha with several others from minor clans or what she classified as devourable in the case of civilian children.

"Oh, I can't wait. Soon, soon, I will be all-powerful."

However, she was met with Naruko.

"Oh, now I'm worthy of your attention, little Naruko?"

"You're not worthy of licking the shit off my boots, never mind my own focus, but even shit gets a chance to shine in the sun every now and again."

Her face twisted into an ugly scowl as she pointed a blade towards her silently as the twenty men made to charge her, she used her tail that was wrapped around her leg to quickly dispatch them into bloody chunks, leaving only her remaining.

Hex paled as she looked at the girl who with the same ease of blinking, slaughtered twenty men.

Rose was sobbing when Hex grabbed her by her long hair and placed a blade at her throat.

"Get the fuck bac-ugh!" Naruko grabbed the woman's tongue and pierced through it, causing her to freeze, as she felt death pass over her as she met Naruko's cold stare which stated she would suffer if she moved a single centimeter.

She turned to the sniffling Rose and said, "Little Uchiha."

She looked at the soft, neutral gaze of Naruko and said, "I need to take care of her, I need you to close your eyes and cover your ears and not open do anything else until I pat you on the head, okay?"

She gave a shaky nod as she did what she was told Naruko threw Hex further away as she made to rip out her tongue after which she was ripped to pieces, handfuls of flesh, bones, sinew, and nerves made the experience as hellish as she couldn't even beg at the face of such neutral disgust. That her death was nothing more than a task Naruko didn't even find any pleasure in, the last thing she saw was Naruko's hand over her vision crushing her head, she felt her scalp split before the skull gave away and she finally breathed her last.

Naruko then flicked the blood off her hands as she snapped her fingers summoning twenty shadow clones to take each child back to their homes, it would be best to make sure no one saw them enter or exit as she didn't want any trouble.

Then what was left was Rose who started to cry once more when she felt a hand rest on her head making her look up to see the soft smile of Naruko.

She then started to bawl and wept into her chest as she blubbered, "S-she, she said she was going to sell me after she had her fun! I-I, why?"

Naruko calmed her down, carrying her in her arms, "Believe me, even if there was a why, it's best you don't know, little Uchiha."

She sniffled, "You're a ninja, like Itachi?"

"Newly minted, but yeah. Come on, you'll feel better when you're home."

"But where did the rest of them go, did they get away?"

Naruko chuckled, "They're gone and the rest of them are safe, they'll just be tired and sleep for a while."

"Oh...What did you do to them?"

"Nothing they didn't deserve. It's best to not think of such matters tho."

The two made to walk, making small talk before they arrived and her clones finished the barrier on the Uchiha compound as Naruko comforted her so she could be left without raising suspicion.

Once she placed her on the main doorstep, she knocked quickly and made to leave as Rose, gave a wave and said, "Bye, big sister Naru."

Naruko could only snort as she gave a small wave back before vanishing, which was caught by Shunsui who saw her wave before she vanished and caught Rose before she could leave and asked what happened.

When he got the story from her, his eyes widened as he looked at the spot where Naruko once stood.

He just sighed and made to report this to Fugaku as he closed the door and thought, 'Itachi's not gonna believe this.'

He wouldn't believe what Itachi would tell him either from his meeting today.

Naruko then noticed the time, it was nearing the meeting time and she had to go.

She went to the Hokage tower where she was ambushed, or rather an attempted ambush only to be crushed under her feet as she killed the ten of them easily with a simple wind blade to each of their necks.

Then she moved to the right preventing her from getting impaled by a poisonous sickle, which was the fate of the bitchy secretary who was struck in the jaw as the poison turned her skin purple and the veins bulged as she tried to wrench the sickle from her jaw but she was far too weak before she collapsed, her body voiding her bodily toxins as her mouth filled with foam as the sickle was wrenched off the secretary's body along with her jaw to reappear in an awaiting grip.

Naruko whistled, "Damn."

A sickly, annoyed tone rang, "Ehh...not bad, not bad at all."

He flicked off the jaw before, twirling the weapon around in hand.

She turned to face them, "Saiaku and Tanaka, correct?"

Saiaku said, "You know your stuff."

Tanaka groaned, "It's such a shame, we have to kill you, you would fetch a good amount."

"I get that a lot, but you won't be able to collect me."

They tried killing intent, but she wasn't fazed and matched it with her own as Tanaka whistled, his gaze getting sharp as he straightened up his stance.

"I think I'm starting to see why they put that ten billion price tag on your head."

She shrugged, "Eh, what can you do, let's see if you can get your money's worth. I won't die so easily."

Saiaku snorted, "That's what they all say."

Then they attacked each other throughout the building only to be smashed into the upper floors only to end up in the waiting room before the council room.

There were twenty civilian chunin and jounin who sneered at her, as there would be no interference as they planned on taking their time with her before tossing her mutilated body before the Hokage and to be forever remembered as heroes.

However, before they could do anything, one of their radios buzzed.

"Dude, what the fuck? Ruining the moment."

"Fuck off, man. No one would ring unless it's a damn emergency," He clicked it twice, "Yeah, talk to me."

"You all need to leave right fucking now."

"What?! Why? We-"

"No, shut the fuck up and listen, that bitch has killed everyone, every single fucking one of them. They are dead, all the watchtowers are cleared out, the chokepoints, even the 1000 army force on the outskirts, they're all dead! Torn apart like some demon having a field day, you all need to leave right fucking now."

Before any of them could reply, she snapped the man's head off with her tail before it bloomed into a flower with a pair of lips as she manipulated it to speak, "Alright, I understand. Now, where are you? We'll meet up and get further away from the village."

"Good, you finally listen to me," He gave the coordinates and that all of them would be waiting for them.

Naruko then responded in her true voice with a polite, "Thank you," before destroying the radio in the grip of her tail. If she waited a bit longer, she would have heard the sound of someone shitting their pants.

She then cut her finger, letting a drop of blood fall to the ground before it summoned a slightly taller look-a-like with dark scarlet red hair pulled into a high ponytail with slitted green eyes. She wears a version of Shimazu Toyohisa's outfit replacing his symbol with Uzumaki swirls and exchanges his sandals with heeled combat boots.

Naruko smiled at her, "Would you be a dear and take care of those maggots would you?"

A snort was the dear clone's reply before vanishing.

"Now, let's give this room a new paint job, huh?"

She then turned to the transfixed brother and sister duo, "Are you going to join in?"

Saiaku smiled, "And take away your fun?"

Naruko shrugged, "Well, at least you're the fun sort. Good to know."

She then made to slaughter the group with ease, Tanaka was tempted to stab her through the back with his sickle, and that accursed tail gave a waving tut for him to not too as he could only wait and watch as Naruko ripped through grown adults with ease.

The last one shuddered like a leaf in the wind as he begged for mercy, as she grabbed his face as sneered at him, "You have a lot of nerve to beg me for mercy when you've shown none. Besides, I need to repay you for forcing me to spend that unfortunate amount of time re-growing the flesh of my arms back in that damp cell."

She ripped off his face before crushing his left eye with five brutal punches, then made to break his ribs before she ripped off his legs before made to flay his arms, with the left being so severe it fell off his shoulder while the right was snapped off at the elbow.

He begged, "Please, please, I'm sorry."

She then stepped out of sight as he wheezed and he continued to plead before he felt a grip on his neck before he was thrown through the doors leading into the council room, leaving a variety of curses and screams as she saw two council members cover Haruno council member's mouth.

Tsume looked sick as she hissed, "The poor fuck is still alive?"

The shock and horror of the people in the room was something else as he croaked out, "You said she'd be weak."

She then crushed his head caking her shoes and the lower half of her pants in another layer of muck. Once she revealed herself, she asked the pair if they were going to join in before she finished them and killed the one who tried in vain to end her with a suicidal charge. After which she apologized for being late.

Kakashi was shocked as his mind was malfunctioning, he didn't expect this in the slightest. Naruko's battle prowess and mercilessness towards enemies and even her fellow Konoha ninja. He felt sick, but at the same time, he burned to know everything about her and made to have a conversation with Iruka.

Kurenai felt her breakfast creep up from the back of her throat at the merciless actions of Kushina's daughter. This wasn't the same girl that only sneered and attacked civilians, this was a bloody battle maiden that crushed heads for shits and giggles. She reminded her of that woman.

Asuma would have dropped his cigarette if he had it in his mouth before he collected himself, he recalled his father's words of never assume stab into the forefront of his brain.

'Once again, you're right, dad. Who taught her to fight like that? And will she turn that talent against Konoha?'

Ino was trembling as she hid behind Chouji as tried to collect herself to not slump to the floor, 'What the hell was that? She never showed she could do that before. I'm gonna be sick.'

Shikamaru felt sick and wanted to bury himself in his bed for the next six months, the action of doing nothing came back in full force and it mixed with his will to live. He knew he was on Naruko's bad side for refusing to do anything in spite of knowing he should've done so. If her rage ever exploded, he'd be executed at her hands and it made it hard to swallow. He was at a complete loss which hasn't before and it scared him more than anything.

Chouji quickly put his bag of chips away, what he just saw immediately put a damper on his mood and what Iruka said compounded with Naruko's abilities just put a glaring white light on his behavior or more specifically his lack of action. He should have given a better reason to refuse her friendship than to say it was too troublesome like Shikamaru did. And if anything, was there really a reason to reject her friendship? Other than her reputation and what was said about her through Mito and Memna, she didn't do anything wrong other than defend herself. 'I don't know what to do.'

Kiba knew he was in deep shit and could only groan, his partner gave a sad whimper and whine that he wanted to mimic so badly but couldn't. He could feel his mother's glare bore into the side of his head as he knew she would chew him a new one. It's not like I did anything too bad, sure some mocking and teasing but everyone goes through that. 'It's not like I tried to maul her or anything and Memna said it was alright.'

Hinata clenched the sleeves of her jacket as if it was a lifeline, she knew ignoring Naruko was bad and she really didn't have a reason to do so. She was polite and nice when she introduced herself, when she refused, she just accepted and left. She thought she was going to get mauled or used as her punching bag, but she just left her and didn't bother or pester anyone. 'If I could go back, I would say yes. Would things be different? Would I be more confident? Would she be like the rest of us?'

Shino tried to calm himself, his beetles were going haywire over the stench of blood and the absolute loathing boiling underneath the surface. It was terrifying and it showed that if it came down to a fight between the two of them, he would lose and not just lose but suffer for daring to fight in the first place. 'How much pain have you gone through to have such loathing, Naruko?'

Tsume groaned as she knew was going to have to chew out Kiba and get Inoichi's help in finding out what his role was in this mess. The pup proved to be both ruthless and talented and could only hope she didn't turn those fangs of hers against Konoha. 'Only God knows how Kushina or Minato would react to that, even when they have their own clusterfuck to deal with.'

Inoichi wanted to get six hours of quiet time and an iced brandy before diving into the clusterfuck he would have to sort out. He knew he had to enter her mind as well, but Iruka's words and even the slivers of what was done to Naruko would make grown adults flee the village, the loathing was something he needed to sort out. And he knew he was going to be sick when he saw Ino's part. He wasn't ignorant and he knew from her reaction over Naruko's flayed arms story that she was involved. He just hoped it wasn't much as it seemed.

Choza felt his heart twist at the grim image of her childhood, children should suffer such a thing, especially one from our own leader, 'Oh Naruko, what have we done to you with our inaction? How much pain did you have to go through to get such strength?'

Shikaku wanted to be sick, he knew his wife would chew out both him and their son, but the fact that the eldest daughter of the Fourth was mistreated to the point of becoming a monster by Konoha's own civilians and even shinobi would leave a black eye on all of us. Especially when she wasn't at fault and was stirred up due to childish cruelty. 'How do we fix this?'

Shibi was very sad over the story of Naruko's past and the only measure of his displeasure that could be physically seen was the furrow of his brow and the light, irritated buzzing of his beetles. 'Oh, Naruko, you have mine and my clan's sincerest apologies, it's one thing to be outcasted for one thing you cannot control, it is another thing when a group of people makes you an outcast out of cruelty. I hope you will allow us to make amends for our lack of action to your abhorrent treatment.'

Hiashi wanted to down a bottle of liquor to drown this massive headache he had, how was he going to fix this, and a long conversation with his daughter to deal with along with making reparations towards her. 'How am I going to fix this? How am I going to handle it first and foremost, if anything from what I've seen, she has the same temper as Minato with Kushina's hair-trigger.'

Fugaku could only groan as he felt a dull pain pierce the sides of his brain as a migraine made him wish his brain poured out of his ears, "How are we going to fix this? This is a practical nightmare, how to make amends with someone who considers the village and the people within it a lost cause.'

Once Naruko left after tearing into Yuuhei, she repaired the building with the seal of the late Mito Uzumaki carved into the tower so it could be instantly repaired as each floor was fixed before exiting the building only to be blitzed by Hemlock.

A worm-like beast swallowed her whole only for her to destroy it entirely, carving open a section with her blade as bits of blood and flesh rained everywhere and soaked her outfit.

"Interesting," a voice light with interest called out.

Hemlock stood before her as the beast quickly started to decay on the rooftop of a slumped building.

Naruko flicked the blood off her blade before cracking her knuckles as she stared at the man before her.

As he continued to speak, " At least you put up a fight, not surprising considering whose blood runs in your veins."

She then spoke in turn, "So, you're one of the few who's been watching me."

He gave her a sincere compliment, "I have to say you're very impressive considering your age."

"Why thank you, but what does a dojo slayer have to do with me?"

"Oh, so you know?"

She nodded, "Information is priceless, and so is money."

His bored facade broke and his lips curled into a grinch-like leer, "I like you kid, I'll enjoy crushing you."

"Let's see you try, hm?"

---

[Meanwhile]

After Minato finished internally monologuing, he stared at Iruka who made to open the seal and tossed it into the air as it unfurled then exploded into a purple haze as a figure landed gracefully on the ground.

The smoke disappeared, showing a clone of Naruko, but instead of the blonde and vermillion-highlighted locks, he was used to seeing, her hair was purple-tinted with black highlights. Her eyes were a vermillion pink with a lazy smirk on her face.

Her hair had a set of flower buns but the rest flowed down her back or framed her face, she had a lazy, knowing smile on her face with her eyes half-lidded from a mixture of amusement and boredom. She was wearing a black long-sleeved button-up shirt that was mostly undone with long hakama pants with no shoes.

She stretched out her back and cracked her neck from left to right before yawning as she took in her surroundings as she scratched her head before her eyes landed on Iruka, making her eyes widen a centimeter.

"Oh my, Iruka. You must have summoned me, huh? It's been a while, huh?"

He nodded, "That it has, Naru- sorry, I should say, Megumi, correct?"

She smiled with a nod as she made her way over to him and made to float to the point where she could be at eye level with him.

"It seems that Naruko changed your appearance from last time."

She shrugged, "Eh, what can I do? Besides, I enjoy my lady's fashion choices for me, after all, aren't I based on the woman who you pointed the dear lady towards? How is she by the way? Any late-night visits?"

Iruka tutted, "Now, now, you know I can't answer that."

She groaned, "Right, the poor children's ears and little sensitivities, ugh. How vile. Still, the answer is yes. Not that I blame you though, that woman is the perfect example of a deadly kunoichi with the perfect body type. Hell, she could beat off men with a flame whip and they'd still come back in droves.

Iruka couldn't really argue, that same situation happened so frequently, and her guards needed to employ flame whips to incapacitate her audience, and yet they'd still crawl back for more.

Kurenai gave a violent wince as she had an inkling of who they were talking about and recalled the violent sneer and cold eyes that screamed for blood and her death.

Iruka thought, 'She's truly something else.'

He recalled luscious black-as-night hair that fell down to the curve of her butt, with a body that many would and had killed for, himself included, her true name was hidden amongst her small handful of trusted associates. But the name she goes by is Lady Debauchery, her skills were second to none, he had to practically fight with her to make Naruko go back to the Academy as she wanted her as her sole apprentice along with her son.

Ino couldn't help but ask, "Who are you guys talking about?"

Megumi barely glanced at her before she turned towards Iruka and said, "A woman who miserable fangirls like you bring shame upon and something a sniveling coward like Yuuhei couldn't be on her best day. Moving forward, it has been a long time, Iruka, I'm happy you're still out and about, only God knows what War or Death would do."

He nodded, recalling the two other Naruko clones, one dressed in red with the semi-permanent sneer and the other in white with her icy scowl of disdain, "Tell them I wish them well."

"Will do. But enough pleasantries for now, what do you need? The dear lady wouldn't give you my seal for no reason."

Iruka asked, "What is happening around Konoha with as much detail as possible without endangering the Hokage or Naruko?"

"Hmm, as you wish."

She snapped her fingers and the area around her shifted into a space-like structure then chakra-enhanced holograms appeared showing full-body images of the 9 termites and those with Xs over those who have already been dealt with, the massive structure of Konoha with varying lists of what is currently happening, and the death toll so far.

Shikaku sat straight up in shock, now wide awake along with the rest, the civilians were silent along with the elders as they watched the area before them, shift into what was before them.

Inoichi looked at Iruka, "Is this what she's been doing during her breaks?"

"She doesn't spend the entire time brooding, she vents her anger at her creations, this is one of them, Megumi is a part of that, if it's not this, then it's jutsus, not that, taijutsu and fortifying many of the skills she's practiced in private. This is just one of many, those months away from the Academy weren't wasted at all. Like I said, earlier, anyone who is under ANBU level has a right to be fearful of crossing in a dark alley. It wouldn't end well."

Itachi gazed at the layout of Konoha with holograms of the termites and said, "If you need a handful of people to recommend her for special jounin or even jounin status after she finishes her psych evaluation, I'll gladly be one of them."

I hope you enjoyed the chapter, it took a while, but it needed to be done. Please take care and be safe during these times. May you succeed when you're aiming for and pass with flying colors. Also, yes, I plan on updating the rest of my stories, I just got stuck in this rut with this new one. Don't worry about it. Also, fair warning to all my readers, I'm now in a master's program so I'm gonna be offline again, don't worry, I'm not abandoning anything, I'm just going to be up to my tits in work and studying. I'll try my best to use resting time frequently to update other stories as well so you all aren't left with stone-cold stories. Believe me, it's not my intention to leave you all with dust-covered stories.

Thank you for your reviews!

917brat - Hey, been a while, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and well the reason why is the rumor mill, as you know Mito and Memna's negative behavior, them and their friends pinning pranks on Naruko which then led to a spiral of negative actions of the civilians trying to get into the Hokage's favor by disciplining Naruko, through physical means, although those who started it are outcasts of the village, which she defended her and it spread throughout the village, more and more attacks, her imprisonments and so on. Naruko used the rumors as the weakest troublemaker to be away from Danzo's notice. It's basically a mixture of multiple things, but it started with Mito and Memna's childish cruelty and pinning their pranks on her which then led to the situation now.

Arsao Tome - It will continue, don't worry about it. Yakumo is really lucky, if Naruko didn't have such a strong grip on her temper, Yakumo would be worm food and her death wouldn't be pleasant. Like Yakumo was following orders from a respected older sister figure and jounin, but had the choice not to follow through with it. So yeah, her ass is on the chopping block along with Kurenai. Basically, they were lucky circumstances were in their favor that Naruko couldn't do away with them.

Lost Dingo22 - I fully plan to do so, I'm sorry for the long wait.

Pravus666 - Hey, it's been a while, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Don't worry about it and we all have our stones to carry, but I hope you feel better. Depression fucking sucks, please take care of yourself. But first of all, I want to say thanks and I'm glad you enjoy Naruko's character Naruko isn't one for prophecies and even if it was true, the suffering it would cause to get there is too great. Peace can only be obtained through hard work, as long as humanity as a whole exists, there will be conflict, outliners, and so on. As you said, it would be short-term at best, it really wouldn't work. Let's just say I have plans after the slaughter fest is over, ergo another slaughter fest, just basically the Harvest Festival from that time I got reincarnated as a slime just with more enemies and characters. I'm deciding whether I should do it after the Wave arc because I fell in love with the series at that arc. Either way, I hope you will see it through with me until the end. Thanks for the 10/10 and please take care, Pravus, you, and Chaos along with your families too. I'll make sure to see your new Naruto story and review all the chapters quickly.

kmf1234 - I'm sorry for the wait and I hope you will enjoy this update.

jack3160 - I'm sorry for the long wait and I hope you enjoy the update.

Guest #5 - Interesting idea, dear guest, it ties into another point in the story after this arc.

NoraValkyrieElysium - I'm happy you enjoyed this story so far. Please take care.

demoncreater2002 - I'm glad you like my writing style, this is a crossover story because it will soon have elements of other anime and manga, just not now as I'm setting the tone of the story for now. It's just not a singular universe connected to the Naruto verse, it's a variety you'll see later on. They'll just be warped to my liking to fit into my story. Take care!

Guest #4 - I hope you will enjoy this update.

Guest #3 - Who knows, the muse does what it wants. But the teaching aspect interests me. We'll see.

Skull Flame - I'm happy you enjoyed this update and I'm happy you appreciate my hard work in creating those demented characters. I can't wait for Naoya's part, it's not going to be pretty so, wait for that part. Tomo and Mai are characters for later on...but they live and thrive in society's underworld. Oh, the Rookies are going to get their asses kicked, I just wonder how to make them pay for their actions or lack of actions toward Naruko. Kurenai is in hot, hot water along with Yakumo, but it will be on a case-by-case basis. Minato is going to drop a damn weight on Tsunade as he'll be violently furious, she's not going to see the somewhat dorky, sweet Hokage, but the demented war vet that makes Iwa shit themselves at the mere sight of blond spiky locks. Agita is something that I got from Elfen Lied and it means 'Horrible Suffering'. That creature is a secret for now. Inoichi is making plans to see if he can lessen the rage Naruko has that Iruka has highlighted has been stewing and boiling over the course of several years. He can only hope as the mind is a fickle thing and a child that has been neglected and abused is going to have a damaged mind which will be dangerous to traverse around. He'll be surprised when he actually gets there though.

dragonslayerajahn - Let's just say I have a massive plan for Kurenai that involves a certain sector in the shinobi forces that she despises and she will be under the reign of someone who has several bones to pick with her. Let's just say, Team 8 is going to get a new sensei as she can't be trusted due to her attack on Naruko therefore she can't be trusted to raise up proper shinobi, especially three prominent clan heirs.

(guest) Star - Oh, there will be consequences of various proportions, Kurenai having one that she will absolutely loathe. I can't wait to write out her punishment. Please take care!

Nomadic Chaos - Damn, you wrote a wall of text. It's been a while, huh? I'm glad you enjoyed the restricted part of Naruko's personality, forged from years in the making with constant repetition. And you do need your A-game and tight control over emotions given the fact that she's a soldier. Naruko is sweeter than she appears, as anyone else would have crippled Yakumo at the very least for what she has done. Even if she didn't know what memory it was, Naruko has every right to tell her to take a flying leap and land feet first. Kurenai, well, it's not going to be a nice punishment for her. When Obito hears what Kakashi did, he will scold him as they weren't the best of friends, in fact, they were rivals until he was nearly crushed. He did cherish him now, but comradery cannot be forced. Times of war and peace were different and Kakashi shouldn't apply his experience with the current genin during peacetime because it would end in failure. We will see about that for the Memna and Mito section of your review. Let's just wait until the end of the day for that. I hope you will enjoy the villains and their deaths, but most importantly I hope you enjoy the slaughter of bandits and civilians supporting jounin/chunin. And I need to chew on the Sasuke idea a bit more, but it does sound interesting. Take care, dude!

(guest) foxgoddess - I'm glad you are enjoying it so far.

deadtoke14 - Well, blood is versatile and can be used for many different things, but we will see.

Guest#1 - I hope you enjoy this one!

littleditto - Thank you!

Darth Diablos - Believe me, I intend to do so.

Gammagyro - You'll see their varying reactions in this chapter. Believe me, Iruka had to fight a lot to get Naruko on Team 12 and not on any other team as it would end in a slaughter-fest, only God knows what she'd do if she had to be on a team with her siblings or Team 7. For Jiraiya, pretty much, he's gonna eat those words and Naruko won't be very pleasant towards him. The clan heads will make their own apologies and dole out their own punishments for their children's actions/lack of actions. What Iruka highlighted about Naruko having no trust in the clans that support her father struck a cord violently within each of them. They needed to fix it. The administration will have to deal with various things according to this situation, but they can only hope this situation is something that will never come to light in the future. Thank you and be safe.

ParadoxTheory374 - I'm happy you enjoyed the chapter and Iruka being in Naruko's corner I really enjoyed writing about it. Naruko's entrance I had to rewrite and reimagine a lot about that scene so I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Natzo - Skinning is more like a saying, she's not going to actually skin them alive. More like verbally tearing stripes out of their hides for their actions as she was best friends with Kushina. Well, they're ninjas, not really the same as the common civilian. That's because of the glory of the First's wish he bestowed on civilians. They put their plan into action, using said wish to get rid of Naruko with the help of Danzo. The First's wish cannot be interfered with unless the current Hokage wishes to be booted from their position, aka Minato. Because Naruko was already dealing with them and interfering would be a bad call when they had no idea what results could occur. They're ninjas, not heroes, there's a significant difference. Also, Naruko can do D-ranks as an Academy student through a law that the civilian council missed when they were allowed to voice their input, it allowed her to get some money, and experience and used them as a method of training. She was hunting bandit camps from the age of 8 to the present when she was 10, she saved the Daiymo's nephew and he rewarded her with that SS-rank mission, he looked into her records of all the bandit camps she got previously and converted them into missions. I hope that answers your questions.

rozielrie - Minato is a bit jealous of Iruka but is happy that he was able to protect and help Naruko in her time of need when he failed to do so. Iruka had a massive bloodlust in his youth, due to the loss of his parents but made peace with his rage and uses his role as a teacher as a form of anger management he recognized the signs in Naruko and offered her help. The civilians are going to wish they were dead by the time Minato gets his hands on them, along with the Elders. Dear Guy came across her by chance and didn't believe in rumors, he found her to be a hard-working individual and she found that he didn't have any ill will. The conversations sprung up later on through various meetings and him offering her a cup of tea to share stories. I'm so sorry for the long wait and I hope you will enjoy this chapter.

Ryu wolf - Thank you!

sarmadsadiq95 - Oh it will, well, you'll have to see who is first, Memna and Mito will get their own punishments later on. The other clans will have to get all the information they can and well, you'll just wait and see soon enough. Let's just say certain people will have consequences, very, vile consequences.

Crio Yaroi - Thank you, but what is Kori?

Perseus12 - Arrogance before the fall, won't be a good time for them. The civilians will get a vile punishment and they'll beg for it, but mercy will be forever out of reach. I hope you will enjoy this chapter.

Shadow Walker of Fire - Damn straight!

WeAreTheWord - I'm happy you enjoyed it!

Red Mage of Balance - Oh if only, but it may as well be the purge for Naruko as she has free reign.

Michael Bourne - Kurenai will get hers and her punishment won't be pretty. The Namikaze family and Leaf villagers will get their punishment and thank you for the 10 out of 10.

Phoenix Warehouse Productions - Maybe you like my writing style? Also, thank you for introducing me to a new fandom, I find the entire concept really interesting and I plan on reading the entire thing.

DA Exodus - I'm happy you enjoyed the last chapter, and I hope you will enjoy the bloodshed in this chapter. Iruka getting up in arms over Naruko was something I enjoyed writing a lot. He practically considers Naruko as a younger sister/daughter. You'll see more about Iruka's past later on in the story, not now yet. Tsunade will get hers and the slugs won't be happy about it, they're loyal, but they will be extremely disappointed over this. You'll see the other updates soon enough.

thekingmaker199 - I'm happy you enjoyed the story so far and I hope you will enjoy this update.

starravenwolf - I'm happy you enjoyed this chapter and well, Agita - horrible suffering, will be had against the appropriate parties. It's not going to be pretty, let's just say Naruko gets her bloodlust from blondes, not red-heads. As for dear Tsunade, Minato is not going to be happy, especially when he reads all the reports Iruka created, and dear Iruka keeps detailed reports. Kushina is going to be absolutely furious and Minato would turn water to ice. Naruko is going to teach termites and maggots their place on the pecking order. Well, for Yakumo we will see after her punishment, Kurenai well, her punishment is not going to be pretty. I have no tolerance for it either, let the blood bath commence.

HolyKnight5 - Oh if he could, he would, but he can't. No matter how tempting it would be, if he attempted to do so, Minato would come after him, he may have fucked up, but he wouldn't allow the snake to influence her. Even more, Naruko may respect his intelligence, but wouldn't join a traitor. It's one of the reasons why Naruko hid amongst the rumors of her dead-last status, to keep people with ill intentions from looking too close. Deception is a ninja's bread and butter you know.

naes151 - I already saw the PM, dude, take care.

Reedz22 - Thank you and I hope you enjoy this chapter. Believe me, they won't be able to as they're going to be under the watchful eye of their parents. But, I have reasons why Naruko is still in the village, you'll see.

Guest#2 - Pretty much, Kurenai will have their own punishments but it's much heavier on her end as she influenced a clan heir into doing something against someone who was both an innocent and part of the Hokage's bloodline. So, that's a nasty black mark on her record. Memna and Mito will get their own punishments along with the rest of the clan children. Minato will administer punishments, don't you worry. He's gonna go on a tear.

darkangelflame - I'm happy you enjoyed it and Iruka supporting Naruko was something I always enjoyed reading in fanfics, I hope you will enjoy this chapter and all the blood and gore. Well, you have a wait a couple more chapters until the fix it part. Still, I hope you enjoy it until the end.

Aclux - I'm happy you enjoyed the chapter and Memna and Mito's punishments will be a secret for now, but it won't be pretty. They are going to go through every single thing they have done, as a start, and let's just say it will be like pulling teeth. For Kurenai, I have my own plans for her punishments along with Tsunade, ooh, the plans I have for Tsunade. Well, Minato and Kushina will get their own, but they will accept it because they are guilty, even if they were unaware.

jeremiahkelley93 - Thank you!

zero fullbuster - Thank you! And I'll get to updating the other stories, later on, don't worry about it.

Phoedra135 - Agita was something I found in Elfen Lied, it means Horrible Suffering and that's exactly what's gonna happen, and let's just say that Minato will be very hands-on with certain punishments. Minato wasn't given the hat just for his good looks you know. Believe me, Kurenai's punishment will be to the point that it will snuff out Kushina's anger. But she will get her licks in regardless.

dannyrockon122 - I'm happy you enjoyed the previous chapter and I hope you will enjoy this update.
