Hello all Storm here with part four! And we're picking up where the last chapter left off with Naruko teleporting away to blow off of steam after everything the Kyūbi revealed to her, as well as learning even more secrets Konoha would want to keep buried. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
Reappearing in the middle of a forest far away from her hideout and Konoha, Naruko's control finally snapped as she was surrounded by her Chakra. Before the Uzumaki screamed in pure rage, causing her Chakra to engulf her and explode outwards, unleashing a gigantic dome of explosive energy. With it spreading out, vaporizing anything it touched, going further and further until it finally began dissipating.
Once the energy completely vanished, Naruko panted while seeing she was now standing in a desolate wasteland, one she guessed was comparable to Konoha itself in size.
'Better this place than my hideout.' Naruko thought, only to scowl at what the Kyūbi had said, that her hideout had originally belonged to her alleged parents.
She'd found it not long after acquiring the Forbidden Scroll from that Ninja and dead student, having learned what it was called after reading it. And that it contained every single Jutsu Konoha ever owned, created, stole or were given as part of treaties. Including Clan Techniques, in the event a clan was ever left near extinct and their own copies of the Jutsu were destroyed, they'd have a means to still learn them.
But in Naruko's opinion, the most useful Jutsu in the scroll was the Shadow Clone Jutsu, one that created physical clones of the user by splitting their Chakra evenly among the clones. And the best part is that anything a clone learned was instantly transferred back to the original when they dispersed.
It was the first Jutsu Naruko learned and quickly became her most used, creating a minimum of thirty clones every day and splitting them into three groups. With one group working on Chakra Control, the next Kenjutsu and Kyūjutsu and the final group on Ninjutsu. While the real Naruko herself worked on her physical abilities and her explosive powers.
Given that her clones were made of Chakra, she didn't have them working on The Explode, having taken to start calling her variation of the Bakuton, the name just…had a unique ring to it. And since she's the only one able to use it the way she does, then it needed a unique name than just being called Bakuton. While she didn't have her clones practice using it, not wanting to risk them blowing themselves up. Physical training also didn't transfer back, so Naruko had to keep doing that herself.
But either way, it helped improve her training by leaps and bounds, having even managed to learn the new Jutsu she'd been getting the ideas for.
The first one was simply called Shadow, allowing her to manipulate her shadow to create portals to other locations to travel to in an instant, while also completely hiding her signature once she steps through. But it also only works with the shadows that are present at the time, if there aren't any then she can't use it.
Her next technique was called Hirenkyaku, allowing her to move at high-speeds, even appearing in multiple places at once with after-images. It even allowed her to levitate or fly through the air, something Naruko really enjoyed since it'd let her drop bombs on unsuspecting victims.
The third technique is one that had two variations, the first being called Blut Arterie, where she channeled Chakra directly into her blood vessels granting her inhuman attack power. Having tested it out on punching a tree, and sent it flying, while also reducing a boulder to pebbles. While the second version is called Blut Vene, which grants her inhuman durability which can spread across her entire body, even protecting her eyes from being damaged. Naruko tested it by having her clones shoot arrows at her and strike her with their swords. But no matter how hard they hit her, Blut Vene withstood their attacks, leaving not even a scratch on her.
Another ability from Blut Vene is that she could use it to stop the flow of blood, allowing her to avoid dying from blood loss should she be critically injured.
Unfortunately, she couldn't use both forms of Blut at the same time, needing to switch between offensive and defensive depending on the situation. Though it was something she planned to rectify as she trains and master those abilities, as well as being able to use them on instinct.
Aside from those techniques, Naruko was working on a few other ones that were taking more time to understand and learn. Along with having learned a few others from the Forbidden Scroll that complimented her fighting style.
And as much as Naruko hated it, the Kyūbi was right that she also had a talent for Fūinjutsu, having been very interested in learning it after seeing some seals in the Forbidden Scroll. Which only grew after moving to her current hideout and finding all the Fūinjutsu material inside. Having learned to make several seals, even working on creating some of her own.
Along with working on a special project with Fūinjutsu to create something she's hoping will really give her a boost in power.
Plus the three-pronged kunai she found with the Fūinjutsu markings on the handle, she had worked on deciphering them to find out what kind of seal they were and what they did. So far finding they allowed for instantaneous teleportation between the markers wherever they were placed.
Which is another thing she's had her clones working on, though keeping the amount she uses for training at only thirty. Instead, sometimes having the clones rotate on the training they do, one day a group would work on Ninjutsu or Kenjutsu and Kyūjutsu, then the next day they'd do Fūinjutsu. It's helped her maintain her training in all areas without neglecting the rest of her training.
'And the old bastard thought I needed the Academy to grow strong.' Naruko thought, scoffing that she needed help to grow strong, if she stayed at the Academy there's no way she'd be at her current level.
Only to frown and clench her fists when thinking about the Sandaime and what the Kyūbi said, the things that were kept from her, if the Bijū was telling her truth about everything. Looking up at the sky to see it's still nighttime, Naruko's shadow spread underneath as she sank into it.
'Okay fox, let's see if you're telling the truth.' Thought Naruko, knowing if the Kyūbi told even a single lie, then she won't stop until she blows it to pieces.
*Hokage's Office*
Peeking her head out of the shadows, Naruko spread out her senses to see if there was anyone in the tower still, before stepping out once she was sure she was alone. Though still kept her Chakra suppressed, not wanting to risk drawing any unwanted attention.
Heading towards the desk first, Naruko opened the drawers and began searching through them, doubting that she'd find anything. Instead what she was looking for were any false bottoms, hidden compartments, anything that'd show there was something hidden in it.
'Then again how hard would the old bastard actually try to hide something? Given if an Academy student, and/or a Chūnin, were able to find and steal the Forbidden Scroll then it should be easy to find what I'm looking for.' Naruko thought, only to scowl in annoyance as she searched the last drawer but didn't find any sign of anything hidden.
'Or maybe he's smart when he wants to be. But where would he hide any important documents?' Thought Naruko looking around the office, trying to imagine where the Sandaime would hide something important.
Before looking towards the pictures of the Shodai Hokage and Nidaime Hokage, the teachers of the Sandaime, making her smirk as she went over to them. Her smirk growing as she took the pictures off the walls, finding two seals behind them both.
'Bingo. And it looks like the seals are keyed together, requiring a specific set of handsigns to be performed and then channel Chakra into them at the exact same time and the exact same amount into both. If there's even the slightest mistake then whatever they're keeping hidden will go up in smoke. It'll take me a few moments, but I should be able to break them.' Naruko thought while pulling out a Storage Scroll and unsealing her supplies.
Once she had everything, Naruko began carefully getting to work putting her own seals around the two, knowing even a single mistake and she'll lose her chance.
It took longer than she liked, but eventually Naruko finished her work before sealing her stuff away and made a handsign. Causing the seals she made to glow as they undid the Sandaime's seals, until soon a hidden compartment opened up right between them.
'I'm sure he'll like the surprise I added too.' Thought Naruko smirking, given she'd also placed a Memory Seal into her work which would be branded onto anyone that tries activating the seals next, making them forget about them entirely.
Opening the compartment, Naruko found a stack of documents and a journal within, all of which she took before closing and sealing the compartment again. With the Uzumaki then using Shadow and returning to her hideout.
*Safehouse*
Reappearing in her hideout, Naruko placed the documents on the table and sat down, but rather than begin looking through it all…she hesitated. Part of her wanting to look through it all and see the Kyūbi was just lying about everything. But another part of her hoped it was telling the truth, if only to have some form of closure as to who she is.
"Don't try denying it, you already know everything I said was the truth. The only thing you're scared of is being proven wrong." Kyūbi said from within her mind, making Naruko scowl.
'I'm not wrong, I'm just not stupid to trust anyone when they'll just try to lie or use me.' Naruko mentally retorted before looking through the files to see if any of them were connected to her.
Before she froze when she found a file with the name Minato Namikaze on it, her father if the Kyūbi was telling the truth. Shakily Naruko grabbed it and opened it, seeing a picture of the Yondaime along with the basic information about him, appearance, rank, abilities, status, sensei, students…and family.
'Wife…Kushina Uzumaki…the second Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi no Yōko… Daughter…Naruko Uzumaki…third Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi no Yōko.' Naruko thought shakily before grabbing the Yondaime's, her father's, picture.
Looking at it, Naruko saw they did look similar, having the same bright blonde hair, but that's where the similarities ended. Naruko thought they'd likely look more similar if she'd been born a boy.
"You…destroyed my life…your own daughter…just to save a village of ungrateful trash… Just one more betrayal." Naruko muttered as she slowly crumbled the picture in her hand and channeled Chakra into it, not even flinching as it exploded in her fist.
Pushing the file away, Naruko searched for the one on Kushina Uzumaki, soon finding it and quickly opened it, find a picture of her mother.
While she might have the same hair color as her father, she's definitely her mother's daughter, having the same face shape, pale skin, violet eyes and straight hair.
But despite this, Naruko wasn't sure what she's supposed to feel for her mother, given her father sealed the Kyūbi into her. She didn't know anything about her mother beyond her being the Kyūbi's host before her and that's why she was brought to Konoha.
"…She was very excited to be a mother, always going on to anyone who'd listen you'd be just as "badass" and "strong" as her, and beat the shit out of anyone that annoyed you, her words… She also knitted a scarf for you, which I'm sure the Sandaime has hidden somewhere." Revealed Kyūbi after a few moments, making Naruko frown as she gently traced her mother's face.
'…I'll find it another time.' Naruko thought, setting the photo down and searched for any file about her.
Though she stopped when she found a file called Uchiha Incident, making her frown at remembering the Kyūbi said her Godmother was Mikoto Uchiha. Who Naruko guessed was dead, since as far as she knew the only Uchiha in Konoha is her former classmate Satsuki Uchiha.
Opening the file, Naruko began reading to see what it was about only to soon scowl the more she read and learned the truth behind the Uchiha Massacre.
"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Shouted Naruko, slamming the file down once she finished reading.
Learning that after the Kyūbi Attack, the Uchiha Clan had been under suspicion as the ones behind it, given the Sharingan's ability to control the Bijū. Leading to the Uchiha being moved to the outskirts of Konoha where they could be more easily monitored for any sign of treason.
With this having lead the Uchiha to begin planning a coup to take over Konoha after having enough of their treatment and viewed as enemies by the rest of the village. Only for them to be spied on by two of their own, Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha. Both of them having become spies to try and prevent the coup and find a peaceful solution without bloodshed.
Only for it to end when Itachi took it upon himself to massacre the entire Uchiha Clan, including his own parents, leaving only his little sister Satsuki as the only survivor. All in the name to prevent a civil war from breaking out in Konoha from the coup.
It all angered Naruko at how it seems Konoha just has a habit of vilifying others just to feel justified in hating and fearing them. Though personally, Naruko didn't really care about what happened to Uchiha, maybe some empathy and feeling slightly bad about Mikoto, if only because she was her Godmother and tried taking her in if not for the Sandaime.
But the rest, she honestly couldn't give less of a damn about them.
'I'm not even surprised at this point. This entire village and their precious Will of Fire…they really are nothing but a giant joke.' Naruko thought, shaking her head as she looked at the other files to see what other dirty secrets Konoha had buried.
Finding reports on experiments done to recreate the Shodai Hokage's Mokuton, all of which failed with the subjects either dying or mutating from the procedure and then dying. A report on the White Fang, Sakumo Hatake, who committed seppuku after his last mission ended in failure due to him choosing to save his comrades, only to be shunned and hated for it, even by the comrades he saved.
An entire report about someone named Danzō Shimura, apparently a member of the Konoha Council and leader of a branch of the Anbu called ROOT.
'Oh, then this is the other old bastard that's trying to find me, good to know no one will care when he dies.' Naruko thought while looking at the very long list of things Danzō has done all in the name of "protecting" Konoha.
From things as little to killing anyone that so much as talks bad about the village in the belief they're a threat, sending spies into other villages and then to even planning to assassinate the Sandaime. Making Naruko wonder just why this guy was still alive in the first place with everything he's done.
Though when Naruko found the file about the Uzumaki Clan and Uzushiogakure, she had to restrain herself from going out to unleash another explosion.
'Allies?! They were allies?! Are allies supposed to stab each other in the back when it's convenient?!' Naruko thought, seeing how Konoha had helped invade and destroy Uzushiogakure, having also feared the Uzumaki Clan for their skill in Fūinjutsu and how the Kyūbi could only be sealed into an Uzumaki due to their powerful life-force and Chakra.
Meaning that the Uzumaki Clan and Uzushiogakure had a claim to the Bijū.
Having leaked the weaknesses in Uzushio's defenses to their enemies, while covertly sending some forces to help ensure the Uzumaki Clan was wiped out and loot anything of value. Making it so only Konoha would have ownership of the Kyūbi and the means to keep it sealed through Kushina and her descendants.
All of this information made Naruko want nothing more than to go to Konoha and unleash an explosion that'll level the village. The only thing that stopped her was when she looked at the files, all the files that contained the secrets the Konoha Council would want to keep buried. Making Naruko smile cruelly as she got an even better idea to make them suffer.
'Why simply blow them up? That'd be too quick, too painless. No, I want to bleed Konoha dry, to watch the life be sucked out of the village as their own crimes are exposed, to show everyone what a worthless, hypocritical cesspool that village truly is. Then when they've lost everything, when they've been exposed for what they truly are…then…then…! Then I'll enjoy watching them be blown away.' Naruko thought, relishing the idea of tearing Konoha apart with their secrets, to let everyone see what it's truly like.
'Now I'll need plenty of clones, under Transformations of course, don't want to spoil the surprise of just who is responsible for letting their skeletons out of the closet. Ooooh, I should have my clones transform into Konoha Ninja. Then they'll be too busy fighting themselves to find the real culprit, instead trying to find traitors that aren't there, maybe some can turn into those ROOT Anbu too. If it ends up getting that mummy-looking bastard Danzō killed, that's just one less problem.' Thought Naruko, smiling sadistically at her plan and what'll come from the aftermath.
Before she frowned as she saw another file she hadn't looked at yet, and grabbed it.
'Kurama Clan?' Naruko thought, opening it to see what other secrets she'll uncover.
*Later-Unknown Location*
Yakumo Kurama, Heiress to the Kurama Clan, sat in her room painting her…honestly she's start losing track of the number of painting she's made ever since she was confined to this manor. Ever since she had been betrayed with her Kekkei Genkai sealed away and her dream of being a Ninja was crushed. Even her parents had been taken away from her.
All because of the Hokage and her so-called tutor, Kurenai Yūhi.
Just thinking about them made Yakumo angry, wishing for nothing more than to be able to unleash the most painful and destructive Genjutsu she could to make them suffer like she has. But no matter what, she can't do anything after Kurenai sealed her power away.
'All I wanted was to be a Ninja, to have a sensei that would encourage me! To believe in me, that I could do it with just Genjutsu, but she never even tried!' Yakumo thought while angrily slashing her brush across the canvas as the memories came flooding back to her.
Ever since she was young Yakumo had a weak body, something that left her unable to perform the physical tasks required of Ninja. But her father had petitioned the Sandaime to give her a special tutor, someone that could help her still grow and train to be a Ninja. With her being given Kurenai as an instructor, Konoha's best Genjutsu user.
At first Yakumo had been excited and happy to have someone that shared her talent in Genjutsu training her. Along with being inspired by a recent graduate from the Academy, Rock Lee, who couldn't use Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, but still strived to be a Ninja using only Taijutsu. As well as his relationship with his own sensei Might Gai. Making Yakumo hope that she could do the same, become a Ninja using only Genjutsu, and have Kurenai helping her be the best she could be.
But instead, all Kurenai ever did was try pushing her to take another path in life, an easier path where she wouldn't be in danger. Something that hurt Yakumo at how little faith Kurenai had in her, that she didn't think she could become a Ninja. Though that didn't stop her, instead Yakumo chose to keep training on her own, now wanting to prove Kurenai wrong and show she did have what it takes.
Only for Kurenai to betray her again, this time by putting a seal on her that locked away her Kekkei Genkai, leaving her with no way to ever be a Ninja.
That wasn't the end of it though, not only did Kurenai take away her power, but the Hokage had also ordered her home to be set on fire, a fire that killed her parents. Knowing he was responsible after overhearing a conversation about how she would be eliminated if she became too much of a threat to Konoha.
Leading to her being placed in this manor, surrounded by Anbu and Medic-Nin, all of them watching her for any sign of treachery. Not that there was anything she could do, no matter how much she wanted revenge.
'Not yet, anyway.' Yakumo thought wickedly, only to wince and rub her head at the sudden pounding she felt.
Before Yakumo froze when she heard an explosion outside, jumping when she heard another and then another. Standing up quickly and backing away when she felt the manor shaking from another explosion, much to her fear that someone was attacking.
'Did the Hokage send someone?! Are they here to kill me?! Or is it someone else?!' Thought Yakumo, backing away towards the wall as she started hearing more explosions inside.
The girl began shaking when she heard the sound of approaching footsteps, unable to stop herself from screaming when the doors to her room were blown to pieces. Allowing her to see just who was attacking, only to be shocked at the sight.
Seeing it was a girl her age with fair, pale skin, long bright blonde hair tied into pigtails, violet eyes and three whisker-like marks on her cheeks. With her wearing white knee-high boots with red trimming, black spandex shorts under a white miniskirt, a white zip-up shirt underneath a white thigh-length trench coat with a red swirl on the back and white gloves with red trimming. Along with a white cap with a black rim and a red swirl emblazoned on the front. While over it all was a long, white high-collared cloak held closed by two buttons.
While shocked that her attacker was a child, Yakumo was still terrified when she looked behind her and saw the blood staining the wall, along with pieces of…she didn't even want to think about it.
"Are you Yakumo Kurama." Said Naruko, with Yakumo looking at her fearfully and warily.
"I-i-i-if…if y-you're he-here to…to kill me j-ju-just…just get it over with then!" Said Yakumo, trying to hide her fear and put on a brave front, not wanting to give her the satisfaction of knowing how scared she was.
"If I wanted you dead, I'd already be leaving." Naruko retorted before pulling out a file from her a cloak.
"I'm merely here to reveal some secrets that were kept hidden from you." Said the girl, dropping the file on the ground and slid it across the room towards Yakumo.
Glancing at the file while keeping Naruko in her line of sight, Yakumo hesitantly reached down before snatching it off the floor.
"Wh-what is this supposed to be?" Yakumo asked warily, seeing her clan's name labelling it.
"Open it and find out. And kindly hurry up, I'd not rather stand here all day when I still have work to do." Said Naruko, making Yakumo frown slightly in offense.
'…She did say if she wanted me dead, then I would be by now. And if she got past the Anbu I don't think she's bluffing.' Yakumo thought, figuring she could at least trust she had no intention of killing her at the moment.
Opening the file to see what exactly was inside, while Naruko a moment to look the Kurama Heiress up and down.
Yakumo had pale skin, long brown hair and light brown eyes. Her hair is straight on one side, but on the other side it's in a braid. In addition, she sports a clip with two circular designs. With her attire consisting of a pink robe that was held closed by a pink sash with two pockets on the front. She also wore violet baggy pants and red mesh armor underneath her kimono and legs, along with sandals that were orange in color.
'She's strong.' Naruko thought, being able to sense that despite being sealed, Yakumo possessed great power within her.
Before she watched the brunette fall to her knees crying as she read the file, learning everything that had been kept from her.
That Kurenai had sealed away her power on the orders of the Hokage, due to the fact she had some monstrous split personality in her mind, the Ido. One that was able to take control of her body and use her power to unleash destruction. Which is really why her power had been sealed away, because it was meant to seal away the Ido as well.
Even worse is despite her initial belief, the Hokage isn't the one who started the fire that killed her parents, she was! The Ido having managed to overcome the seal and break free, casting an illusion of a fire over her home, which is what had killed her parents.
It's why she was left isolated and guarded here, in the event the Ido managed to break free again, the Anbu and Medic-Nin were meant to make sure it couldn't attack Konoha.
"Are you done?" Naruko asked while looking at the crying girl, making Yakumo raise her head and glare at the Uzumaki.
"Why did you show me this?! What do you get from revealing this to me?!" Yakumo demanded, wanting to know why Naruko came here, since it didn't seem like she did out of the goodness of her heart.
"Because I hate liars and traitors, as well as the fact that revealing this information to you helps screw over Konoha, that's what I get out of this." Said Naruko, having come here to show Yakumo the secrets kept from her.
Knowing it'd only be another problem for Konoha to deal with, having someone with unmatched Genjutsu abilities and a grudge against them. And perhaps, some small part of Naruko that still felt empathy, sympathized with Yakumo. Seeing how similar they were, both being lied to and kept caged for the "good of Konoha", and she wanted to free Yakumo from her own chains.
'Doing something good for someone else…ugh, it makes me feel sick.' Thought Naruko, grimacing at the idea of her being nice to other people, making a mental note to go blow someone up after she's done.
"So you're just hoping to use me against Konoha, is that it." Yakumo said accusingly, only for the Uzumaki to shrug.
"Not really, I'm more than capable of leveling Konoha myself when I want to. Who I am, though, is the person who revealed the secrets being kept from you and just gave you a clear path to leave Konoha for good." Naruko said, much to Yakumo's disbelief.
"L-le-leave? L-leave where?" Yakumo asked, not expecting her to just let her go like that.
"Figure it out. There's an entire world for you to choose where you want to go." Said Naruko, turning to leave with her business done.
"B-bu-bu-but…but I don't know what to do! I can't fight, I can't use Genjutsu, I'd be helpless on my own!" Said Yakumo, not sure how she'd survive when her power is unsealed, while Naruko stopped as her eyes widened slightly in anger.
Then before Yakumo could react, Naruko was in front of her, yelping as the whiskered blonde pulled her up by her collar.
"Then maybe I wasted my time coming here! And unfortunately for you, I hate having my time wasted!" Naruko said, holding her other hand back forming a ball of Chakra, much to Yakumo's fear.
"You said you weren't going to kill me!" Said Yakumo, believing she lied.
"I wasn't, but if all you're going to do whine and roll over to die, then I'll do you a favor and finish you off right now if you aren't even going to try fighting!" Said Naruko, angry that Yakumo wouldn't even try to escape and fight, only whining about what she can't do.
"I said I can't fi-" Yakumo said only to be cutoff.
"You think fighting is just about beating your opponent?! It's not! The whole point of fighting is that you don't want to die! That you'll be killed if you lose! If you throw your life away in battle, where's the point in winning?! That's what fighting is about, survival!" Naruko said, glaring at Yakumo, while the brunette looked at her with wide eyes.
"You want to survive don't you?! Then fight for it! That Ido thing in you was able to overcome that seal, well that's just one part of you! If it can overpower it then so can you! And if it tries possessing you, then keep fighting! Fight and survive!" Said Naruko, shoving Yakumo back against the wall making her grunt at the impact.
"There are only two things that matter in this world and any other, power and yourself. Because at the end of the day, those are the only things you can trust to not betray you. If you think it's hopeless and there's nothing you can do, then go ahead and stay here, wait until someone else shows up to kill you when the Hokage learns about what happened here. But I'm not gonna waste of my time more than I already have." Naruko scoffed before turning to leave, refusing to waste her time around someone who refuses to fight.
If there's one thing she absolutely despises, it's those that would just throw away their lives, rather than keep fighting to survive, no matter how difficult it was, survival is all that matters. It doesn't matter how or what you have to do, nor who you have to kill. As long as you survive, you win.
"Who…who are you?" Yakumo asked, looking at the Uzumaki, making Naruko stop and glance back at her.
"…Naruko Uzumaki…" Said Naruko after a few moments before activating Hirenkyaku and vanishing in a burst of speed.
The sight shocking Yakumo before she quickly shook her head and rushed to grab a bag to start packing her belongings, wanting to be long gone from here before anyone showed up.
'I'm not going to be weak or be controlled, ever again.' Yakumo thought, feeling a new determination in her to show how strong she really is, to Kurenai, the Hokage, the Ido and anyone else that'd look down on her.
And the first thing she needed to do is find some help to overcome her own weak body, wanting to make sure she was physically strong too. While taking what Naruko had told her to heart.
'The only things I can trust to not betray me, are power and myself. As long as I survive, I win. ' Yakumo thought to herself as she finished packing up before taking her leave as well.
So, what did you think, good. Yep we see Naruko teleporting far away from civilization and triggering a massive explosion in her anger, devastating the surrounding forest. With her managing to calm down afterwards, where we then learn more of her training. Having learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu to speed up her training even more, which also helped her learn and master her new techniques.
Having recreated several Quincy techniques such as Shadow, Hirenkyaku and both versions of Blut, along with taking up Fūinjutsu to work on a special project. Only to be annoyed given the Kyūbi said the Uzumaki have a natural talent for Fūinjutsu, implying it was telling the truth.
Before Naruko sneaks into the Hokage's Office to find the truth for herself, discovering several files on herself, her parents, the Uzumaki Clan and every other secret Konoha wants to keep buried. All of it only angering her more, before getting the idea to expose their secrets, to show how hypocritical Konoha truly is and watch the village tear itself apart.
With Naruko then finding another file on the Kurama Clan, before we then see Yakumo Kurama in her manor, thinking over her own betrayals. Only to hear Naruko killing the Anbu and Medic-Nin before arriving, giving the Kurama Heiress the file on her, showing Yakumo the secrets kept from her, much to Yakumo's horror.
Finally we see Naruko allowing Yakumo to leave and go wherever she wants, knowing it'll be another problem for Konoha to worry about. Only to be angered when Yakumo believes she wouldn't survive, with Naruko threatening to kill her for such a belief. Forcing it into her head that surviving is all that matters in battle, that as long as you survive you win, giving Yakumo a determination to survive, taking Naruko's words to heart as they go their separate ways. Though perhaps we'll be seeing Yakumo again down the line. So, for those that like the story, thanks for your support. For those that don't or at least don't like the direction taken, you're more than welcomed to drop the story. But thanks for giving the story a chance anyway.
Storm out
