Chapter 9: Return.
( Konoha 2 years later)
It has been two years later after Kuchisake Onna who possessed Naruko had left the village to train and teach Naruko as her protege and heir.
Villagers are still in constant fear over her, even if she's not in the village, they still have fear of her, punishing them, slitting their mouths, their throats, maim them, torture them, cast horrifying genjutsu's on them that would drive them insane, all sorts of punishments she would unleash upon them all.
They would become more fearful of her once Naruko comes back and will probably resume their daily punishments.
They could only wish for a miracle to help save them from Kuchisake Onna and Naruko. But unfortunately the Sandaime, Jiraiya, Tsunade even the Jonin knew better not to challenge Kuchisake Onna and did not want to invoke her wrath upon them.
And at the very gates.
Stood a blonde haired teenager, wearing a red trench coat, with a surgical mask on her face. Ice cold blue eyes, was Naruko Namikaze Uzumaki. And not Kuchisake Onna who once possessed her.
Naruko now has full control of her body now, since her and Kuchisake Onna merged as one.
And as soon as she set foot into the village everyone froze in fear at the sight of her, most instantly ran into their homes before grabbing their children with them. Others started hiding the moment she was in their sights.
She paid them no mind as she walked down the streets, she was aware of their fear, which she liked.
They know she's not the same little girl who would get constantly beat on. She is their worst nightmare.
( Hokage Tower)
Hiruzen looked tired as ever for these past two years has not been better for him. The fact Kuchisake Onna had possessed Naruko and had given everyone in the village a fright. They would have nightmares of seeing Kuchisake Onna continue to haunt them and scare them.
He hoped Naruko is herself and not possessed by Kuchisake Onna. Damn the idiot villagers for condemning them this Curse of Kuchisake Onna upon Konoha.
The Doors opened revealing her.
"Naruko? It's you?" Hiruzen says seeing her wearing Kuchisake Onna's appearance.
"In the flesh, Hokage-san." She said in a cold voice that made him flinch.
"So Kuchisake Onna? Is she?" He asked but she cut him off.
"We merged. We are now one." Naruko replies coldly making him wince at her cold voice
"I'm here to take my Genin exams." She says lookin at the old Kage
"Very well. I'll inform Iruka of your return." He says as she nodded and walked off with a calm stare.
He sighed after she left the office. Now that she's Kuchisake Onna's protege only time will tell what she will do against those who done her wrong. He pity those who will cross her in the future whether if they are in this village or outside of it, or against other enemy villages.
He knows she's not the same little girl who is innocent. Because of the villagers stupidity they condemned the whole village under the curse of Kuchisake Onna who possessed Naruko. And it was out of his hands to do anything, they brought this on themselves.
( Shinobi academy)
Naruko true enough came here, as soon as she arrived all the students instantly paled and froze in fear at the sight of her, she paid them no attention as she continued to walk forward to her class room ignoring all the fearful looks every student and teacher was giving her. They did not want to fall at her hands.
Oh yes. This academy still fears her until this very day. After how she brutally punished the Kunoichi teacher Ms. Kyoko, and let's not forget how she effectively made Ino Yamamaka and Sakura Haruno Bald. And as a bonus Sakura's mother Mebuki Haruno died a few days after that, at the hands of Kuchisake Onna. Which further broke Sakura down further that she lost her mother. This school still fears Kuchisake Onna and Naruko.
( Iruka's class)
Now in the class room sat the rookies including Iruka along with Mizuki who are teaching the class. That was until Naruko made her appearance, everyone froze at what they were doing and sweated at the sight of her.
Iruka flinched at the cold look she gave him, while Mizuki was trying hard not to give her eye contact, afraid that her gaze will fall on him.
"Naruko?" Iruka asks
"It's me. Iruka-Sensei." She answered with him having a sigh of relief glad that he wasn't talking to Kuchisake Onna who gave him nightmares after hearing the urban legend dish out so many punishments throughout this whole village.
"Well umm we were just about start the Genin exams." He says as she nodded and took a seat while everyone moved a distance from her, too terrified to be near her.
Well except for one.
Hinata Hyuuga sat by her, not showing any fear as Naruko turned to her.
"You're not afraid of me?" She asks with Hinata shaking her head.
"How brave of you to sit by me." Naruko says in her cold voice that slightly made Hinata shiver.
Sasuke was eying Naruko, interested. He never interacted with her or Kuchisake Onna, but the way he cold expression was looked so much like Itachi's cold expression when he massacred the Uchiha clan and killed both his father and mother.
Ino looked away from Naruko too afraid to even look her in the eye.
Sakura was silently weeping and had not gave Naruko no eye contact she couldn't bare to see the woman that made her bald and killed her mother.
Shino's bugs in his coat trembled as he sweated.
Kiba flinched as his puppy Akamaru whimpered in his coat.
Shikamaru gave a lazy look but he did slightly sweat as he prayed to kami that Naruko doesn't teach his mother any kind of methods of torture knowing no Nara clan male was safe If Nara Yoshino learned torture methods from Kuchisake Onna/Naruko.
Hell even Anko would want to learn from her.
Ibiki knowing the man is terrifying would also want to learn.
Choji would have wanted to eat his chips but something told him not too.
"Okay class shall we begin for our Genin exams." Says Iruka as everyone nodded.
"Okay here we go for the first exam, it's taijutsu. Who wants to go?" He says
"I will. And I want to fight Naruko!" Sasuke says as everyone gasped in fear and shock.
"Very well then. Let's see what you got." She says standing up.
"Your still the same as ever. You don't scare me." Sasuke says with a smirk
"I'm very much different than before Sasuke. And I'm going to show you just how scary I can be." She says with a dangerous cold vibe.
