I hope every enjoyed the first chapter of Shadow Skill Blood Bonds.
I do not work Shadow Skill nor Naruto.
Chapter 2
King of demons speaks.
Narita layer in bed remembering what happen to her the night before. 'I can't believe I kicked Mizuki's ass. Also I can't believe Jiji, Iruka-sensei, and Neko passed me. I'm a Genin!' She thought as she sighed happily as she set up in bed and looked over at her messenger bag. Just then she remember the other scrolls she had found. Quickly jumping out of bed she ran over to her messenger bag and pulled out the sealing scroll she had sealed the other scrolls in.
Slowly she unrolled the scroll and looked out her bedroom window. As she unrolled it the kanji for seal was in the center of the scroll. With a deep breath she channeled her chakra into the scroll unsealing three large scrolls and four small scrolls.
Elsewhere
Unknown to Narita, the Hokage was watching her through his crystal ball. 'Yesterday she had proved herself ready to find out her family secret. Minato, Kushina, your baby girl is growing up fast. I just hope she isn't too upset with me.' Thought Sarutobi. He looked out his office window to the village. Standing up from his chair the aged leader turned to the photos of the Hokages of past and present. He slowly walked up to the photo with the man with bright blonde hair and ocean blue eyes. Slowly he raised his hand and took the photo off the hook and channeled chakra into the wall a small door open to a hidden safe. Inside the safe was several scrolls and a small black wooden oak box with several carvings of roses and a waterfall over shadowing the moon behind it. Sarutobi traced his fingers along the wooden box and looked back at the crystal ball. 'Minato do you think it's too soon to give her this?' Thought Sarutobi.
¥ Flashback no Jutsu ¥
Sarutobi if anything ever happens to Kushina and I please give this box and several scrolls to her. I have also sealed some scrolls into the forbidden scroll for her. She can either have them once she is 15 or a chuunin. Please old friend take very good care of my Princess.
¥ End of Flashback no Jutsu ¥
Sarutobi looked at that scroll that Minato left him over 15 years ago. He pulled out the other scrolls and items out of the safe. He turned around.
"Neko." Said Sarutobi.
Before him a woman with long purple hair appeared before him. She knelt down before him. "Lord Hokage?"
"Please bring Narita to me. I have somethings to speak to her about." Said the Hokage.
"Hai." Said Neko and she vanished in a swirl of leaves.
Narita apartment.
Narita traced her fingers over a baby blue scroll tried with a royal blue ribbon. Slowly she began to pull the ribbon off the scroll when she heard a knock at her front door. With a sigh Narita put the scroll down grabbed her purple robe and wrapped herself up in it. She walked to her front door and slowly open it. "Yeah?" she asked before seeing who it was.
"Narita Uzumaki. The Hokage request I bring you to his office at once." Said Neko.
"Ummm….okay give a minute. I just woke up and need to get dressed." Said Narita.
"That's fine." Said Neko as she stepping into Narita's apartment. She saw scrolls all over the kitchen table and couch and empty ramen cups scattered all over the place. 'It's true this girl just worries about training and her ramen.' Thought Neko as a sweat drop formed on the side of her head.
Narita ran to her room and grabbed a new outfit she had put aside and ran into the bathroom for a quick shower. Neko was looking at a scroll on the table on the basics of how to preform the Lotus taijutsu. When Narita came running back out of the bathroom. She had on a purple short sleeve Chinese battle dress with slits going up past her thigh. On the dress at the bottom was embroidered roses and crescent moons. She had on black shorts that hugged her legs and went down to her knees. When she reappeared from her bedroom she had on calf high black shinobi sandals and her hair in a high ponytail with the lose part of the ponytail in a braid. Her forehead protected was tied around her neck and she strapped her kunai pouch to her right thigh and put on a red sash around her waist to put her supply pouch on it and grabbed her messenger bag.
"Okay, I'm ready." Said Narita as she smiled and grabbed a big black jacket with the Uzumaki crest on it.
"You look cute Narita. Finely grew tried of the kill me orange jumpsuit of yours?" Asked Neko as she placed a hand on Narita's shoulder and they vanished in a swirl of leaves.
"Yeah, also Jiji help me by everything. I told him what I wanted he went and got it." Said Narita as they appeared in the Hokage's office. "HI Jiji."
"Hello Narita-chan. How are you this morning?" Asked Sarutobi.
"I'm good. A little sore from that amazing move I pulled on Mizuki. But, other then that I'm ready to train and become Hokage." Said Narita.
Both Neko and the Hokage laughed at the girls antics.
"Well if you want after team placements and you meet your Jonin sense you could always come back and help me with my paper work. It will be early training for when you become Hokage." Said Sarutobi.
"Sure thing Jiji. But, only after I'm done with my team stuff." Said Narita.
He smiled at the young girl before him and motioned for her to take a seat before him.
"Narita, I called you here for several reasons." Said Sarutobi as he searched her face.
Narita had tilted her head to the side and helped wonder in her eyes of what was so important he had to tell her now.
"Do you want to know who your parents are?" He questioned the girl.
"YES MORE THEN ANYTHING!" Yelled Narita.
A sad smile crossed the Hokage lips. "Narita please don't be mad. I have kept this secret from you for so long. It was only by request of your father. I was to tell you when you are 15 or a chuunin. I believe you are old enough to know. Your mother's name was Kushina Uzumaki she was also know as the Red Hot Habanero. For she had fiery red hair and a temper to boot. She was a strong and amazing woman. Now, for your father. His name was Minato Namikaze." Said Sarutobi.
Narita's eyes open wide as she stared at her Jiji. "So, because of the last war and how my parents pretty much dominated and killed many from Iwa you had to keep it secret that they had a child and to top it off their child holds the Kyūbi no Kitsune in her belly. Making a triple prize for them." Said Narita as she looked at the old man before her.
His jaw had hit his desk and his eyes somewhat bugged out. He had finely exhaled that breath he was holding after his shock of what he had just heard. "That is right my dear. By, the way how on earth are you the dead last in this year's graduating class?"
"You know teachers hating me and not giving me the right test or homework and setting me up to fail. You know same old same old." Said Narita as she just shrugged it off as nothing to big. "But, Iruka-sensei comes on the weekends and tutors me and helps me with my taijutsu."
Flames had engulfed the Hokages eyes as he heard all this. It was ridiculous what she had to go though. "I will be cleaning house by the sounds of it." He turned to Neko. "It appears the damn Civilian Council has their hands in this."
"It appears they do Lord Hokage. We are almost done getting everything you requested about them. Please allow us another day." Said Neko.
"That is fine. Now Narita I am very shocked you are taking this very well. If I was you I would be yelling and screaming at me for what I had kept from you." Said the Hokage.
"I know Jiji. But, it wouldn't do me any good and it will not bring back my parents. So, I have to expect this and move on to a brighter and happier future." Said Narita.
In side Narita's mindscape.
Ella was looking at the box on the desk. "I know that box. It was gifted to me the day I became the 59th Sevalle. It was a gift from my brother and Scarface." A sad smile cross her lips.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who cares those fools are long gone and so should you. But, Kami just loves playing sick jokes on me." Growled Kurama.
"Shut up fur ball. It will be very soon Narita will met us both and your furry ass better be nice to her. For I will go into that cage and kick your ass." Threaten Ella.
"I'd love to see you try." Growled Kurama.
An evil smirk crossed Ella lips as she jumped up onto the wooden cage doors. "Really now Fur ball? We feeling all high and mighty now?" Asked Ella as she slowly stepped into the cage. Her emerald green eyes burned bright in the darkness.
Back with Narita.
"I had received a very strange letter about a week ago. A man by the name of Dias has been seeking Minato Namikaze. That he had heard he lived in this village. In the letter he stated he would be arriving about two weeks after he sent the letter." Said Sarutobi.
Narita looked confused at her Jiji. "Okay Jiji what does this have to do with me?"
With a tried sigh he looked at his granddaughter. "The man is claiming to be your father's brother. That Minato got lost when he was young. Now he is full filling his late parents wish on finding his brother."
"Well Jiji, what can we do. When he gets here we will do a DNA test and see if we are related and if we are. Well I now have family." Said Narita as she smiled.
"Very well my dear. Very well. Now let's get to this box here. Your father said this was past down though his family from his very great, great, great, great grandmother. Give or take a few more greats. She was awarded these after proving herself in battle and becoming the 59th Seville of Kuruda." Said Sarutobi. He push the box towards Narita. She slowly slide the box open and laying there was set of bladed metal battle fans. She reached in and pulled out the pair of fans she flipped them open. A beautiful black silk no one had ever seen. Made up the fans. As well the metal seem like a steal or an iron. But, one couldn't tale for they are light wait and appear to be normal fans. There was a switch at the base of the fan if you flipped it 2 inch blades popped out. On the black silk was orange and purple butterflies with a crescent moon.
"These are beautiful Jiji. I'm afraid to use these in battle." Said Narita. She looked in the box and saw a couple of books and a few photos sitting on top of the book. Reaching in she pulled out the photos.
A woman with long blonde and red hair stood there with the fans held high. She had on a purple cat suit that stopped at the high up thigh hip bone area with a red/white skirt over her butt. Boots that went to her knees and gloves that went up to her elbows. She had bright emerald green eyes. Narita could pass for her twin almost. On the back of the photo was written; Ella Ragu 59th Seville of Kuruda the 2000 year old kingdom. Age 14.
Narita passed the photo to Jiji and looked at the next one. There was Ella with her arm around a boy with brown hair and eyes. He had a brown shirt with black pants and black boots. He was smiling but he also looked sad. She turn the photo around. "Ella Ragu of the Shadow Skill age 17 and Gau Ban of the Black Howling age 14." Said Narita.
"She was beautiful. But, the boy with her looks worried and sad. I wonder how he is related to her." Mused Narita. "But, Jiji I have to get going. It's almost time and I really don't want to be late. Could you keep the scrolls safe for me? I'll take the fans and books so I can look it over while I wait for my new sensei." Said Narita.
"That is fine dear. Once your done please come back. I'll be waiting." Said Sarutobi.
With a smile Narita put what scrolls that could fit into the box closed it and pushed it to her Jiji and put the fans and books into her messenger bag. She even took the photos with her. With that she jumped out the window and dashed to the Academy by roof jumping. Just making it there just as the first bell rang. She ran into the building and to the classroom as the final bell ran.
"Yes, I made it." Said Narita. She walked to her seat in the back and clasped into it. Looking up she saw Iruka-sensei come in. He was in bandages from head to toe with a broken left leg and right arm.
Narita looked sad as she looked down at Iruka-sensei. 'I'm soooo sorry Iruka-sensei. I shouldn't have been so foolish in believing in Mizuki.' She thought.
Sakura raised her hand. Iruka nodded his head to her. "Iruka-sensei what happen to you?" she pinkette asked.
"Mizuki stole the forbidden scroll last night. He tried pinning it on Narita. But, with her Mizuki was token care of." Said Iruka.
Everyone in the classroom turned and looked at Narita. She blushed and sunk into her large black jacket.
"How in the hell did the dope pull something like that off and isn't able to do a freaking henge?" Asked Sasuke.
"Easy every time I kicked your ass I grew stronger and more skilled and I used what I learn from beating you teme. On his lame ass." Said Narita as she tried to keep her cool.
"Settle down. We now have team placements." Said Iruka.
(I'M JUST GOING TO KEEP IT LIKE THE CANON.)
"Team 7. Narita Ella Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchida, and Sakura Haruno." Said Iruka. "Also your Jonin Sensei will be Kakashi Hatake."
Narita head hit the desk. She looked up glaring at her two teammates. "I'm so screwed." She said as tears ran down her cheeks.
Sakura was cheering and giving Ino the peace sigh. "Told you Ino-pig true love beats all."
"Whatever Billboard brow." Said Ino as she heard what team she was on and cried.
Narita looked at Ino. "Ino for the love of Kami please switch teams with me. I would be safer with Shika and Chouji." Cried Narita.
Ino sat there for a moment thinking about it. But, Iruka spoke up. "I'm sorry your teams are set up for reasons. Here let me explain. For example team 8 is Hinata, Shino, and Kiba. They are set up as a tracking team. With the skill they have they work well together. Team 10 is for surveillance and information and intelligence gathering as well with Ino's abilities she can easy work in T&I. Now team 7 you are set up as a first response team. Say we are attacked your team is up in the front line dealing directly with the enemy." Explained Iruka.
"Fine Iruka-sensei I'll stay on the same team as the teme and banshee." Said Narita as she just sat there looking at the other two who glared back at her. 'Yeah, I'm going to die on our first mission out. I better learn how to use my fans and maybe go find Gai-sensei and see if he can help me figure out what taijutsu I can use with these things.' She thought.
"Alright class your sensei's should be here shortly." Said Iruka as he left the classroom. 'I'm sorry Narita I would have put you on another team but it was taken out of my hands.' Thought Iruka as he closed the door.
The whole class turned and looked at Narita.
"So, dope you going to tell us what happen last night?" Asked Sasuke.
She looked at him and the others. "Not, really. Hokage classified it as a need to know bases if you are Jonin or Chuunin level. Your all Genin. So, nope." She told them.
Just then the door open and came in the Jonin sensei's for all the civilian kids. Shortly after a woman with red eyes and black curly open the door and walked in. "Team 8?"
Hinata, Shino, Kiba along with Akamaru got up and went down to the woman and they left with her.
At this time Narita was reading her book and it had pictures showing how to us the fan and she was standing and pulled the fans from her bag and was fallowing the pictures. Both Ino and Sakura saw how beautiful the fans were.
"Narita where did you get those beautiful fans?" Asked Ino.
Narita stopped and looked up from her book. "They are heirlooms left to me by my family." She told the blonde girl.
"Hn, a dope like you doesn't have a family." Said Sasuke.
"Shut up teme. You don't know jack shit about anything. So just sit there and brood like the emo you are." Growled Narita.
"Stop Narita you have no right to talk to Sasuke-kun like that." Shouted Sakura.
"So, what he can talk to me with no respect. To hell with that. For all I care you two can kiss my ass." Shot back Narita.
Ino was giggling and both Shikamaru and Chouji had grins on their faces.
"If your team doesn't work out Narita I'm sure we can ask our new sensei about adding you to ours." Said Ino as a man with a beard walked into the room. He had heard everything that was said and smiled.
"I wouldn't mind adding you to my team Narita. But, I'm sure Kakashi would be upset with me stealing one of his students before he had a chance to fail the other two." Said the man. "By he way I'm Asuma." Said the now named man. "Come on team 8 we got things to do." He said and with that they left. Leaving team 7 alone with each other.
Sitting in the trees watching was Kakashi. 'So, this is my team. The last Uchida, a pink haired Banshee, and Sensei's daughter. I wish I would have known sooner.' Thought Kakashi.
Narita was dancing with the fans as she did quick spins and flips and slashes into the air. She had lost interest in the other two with her and was training with her new weapons. 'I think I got this. I should try it now with the blades out.' She thought as she flipped the switch and 2 inch shape blades popped out.
Sakura gasped at the sight of the blades. She had been watching Narita move and dance for awhile. She couldn't look away even Sasuke was shocked to see how flexible the girl was and how quick she moved with the fans in her hands. 'Those are smaller versions of the battle fans they showed us.' They thought in unison.
An hour passed and there was still no Kakashi. If they only knew he was sitting outside watching them. 'It appears Narita wants to better herself and grow. As for pinky there she just wants to flirt with duck butt. I have my work cut out for me.' He thought with a sigh. In a swirl of leaves he vanished and appeared into the hallway outside of the classroom door.
Narita had put the fans and book away and took out a bottle water. She sat down on her desk as she took off her jacket and let it fall around her. She took a drink as the door began to open.
There at the open doorway stood Kakashi. He couldn't take his eyes of the blonde-red hair. Quickly he shook is head. "You three meet me on the roof in five minutes." With that said he vanished.
Narita put her jacket back on and open the window and focused her chakra to her feet and run up the side of the building as the other two ran down the hallway. She was the first to reach the roof and sit down before her sensei.
Kakashi just eye smiled at her. He looked up as he heard the roof door slam open and the other two falling over each other. They rushed over sat next to Narita.
"My first impression of you two. Your losers." Said Kakashi as he point at Sasuke and Sakura. "But, Blonde here has some potential."
"That dope is a loser. I am the elite, I am an Uchida." Said Sasuke.
Kakashi just coughed and smiled. "Okay kitties tell me about yourself. Like your Name, hopes, dreams, likes, dislikes."
Sakura raised her hand. "Could you give us an example. So we know what to say." She asked.
'She is the brains of this group? I'm so screwed.' Thought Kakashi. "Very well. My name is Kakashi Hatake I'm 23 years old, my hopes? I don't feel like sharing. My likes? I have many. My dislikes? You'll find out. My dreams? Hmmm, I really have thought about it." He said as he looked at them. "Why don't you go first pinky." He told Sakura.
"My name is Sakura Haruno. My age 15. My hopes? Giggles. My likes? I like a certain somebody. My dislikes? NARITA UZUMAKI! My dreams? I-i…..giggles." Said Sakura as she kept looking at Sasuke.
"Okay, your next broody." Said Kakashi.
"My name Sasuke Uchida. Age 15. My hopes? To killed a certain somebody. My likes? I don't have any. My dislikes? I have many. My dream? To restore my clan." Said Sasuke.
'Great a fan girl and Avenger. The last thing I need.' Thought Kakashi. "How about you blonde?"
"My name is Narita Ella Uzumaki-Namikaze. My age 15. My likes? Ramen, training, and pranking. Dislikes? When people disrespect me and don't bother to get to know me and who I truly am. Hopes? To be come the best ninja this world has ever seen. Dreams? TO BE COME HOKAGE AND PROVE TO THE WORLD I AM STRONG!" said Narita as she shouted the last part.
Everyone looked at her. As she smiled at them.
"What do you mean Namikaze? You're a Uzumaki." Said Sakura.
Narita grinned at the pinkette. "Nope, this morning I learn the truth of who my parents are. I am the daughter of Minato Namikaze and his wife Kushina Namikaze-Uzumaki." She said with a proud smile on her face.
"Like hell the 4th was your father." Said Sasuke.
"She isn't laying. She is a Princess of Konoha for who her father was." Said Kakashi. "I was late due to the fact that the 3rd Hokage was informing me of who my student truly was." Said Kakashi.
He looked over his Genin team. Sasuke was glaring at Narita, Sakura was in shock and gaping like a fish.
"Meet me tomorrow at 7am at training ground 7. It is where your true test will take place. Before I forget do not eat anything. If you do you will be throwing up." Said Kakashi as he vanish in a poof of smoke.
"Sakura make sure to eat something tonight and stop with your stupid diets. You need to have your strength tomorrow if your not going to eat in the morning." Said Narita as she turn and walked to the edge of the building and focused chakra to her feet and jumped into the near by tree. She was surprised to see Kakashi in the tree. "What on earth are you doing here?" She questioned him.
"SHUT UP NARITA DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" Shrieked Sakura. She turn to talk to Sasuke but he had already left while to two girls were talking.
"I wanted to see how you three interact with each other." Said Kakashi.
"Well your screwed those two hate me and maybe never do anything to help or save my life out on a true mission." Said Narita as she looked down. "But, I have to go. I'm late for my Hokage lessons." She told him as she jumped out of the tree and onto the ground as she took off running.
"Hokage lessons?" Questioned Kakashi as he watched her vanished into the crowd of people.
ELSEWHERE
"Hold on just a little longer. I'll be there soon Minato." Said a man with black hair and dark eyes. He was Dias Namikaze, Minato's older brother. 'Mother, father please keep him safe til I get there tonight.' He thought as he tree jumped. He was only 3 hours away from Konoha and nothing was going to stop him from seeing his baby brother and his family.
Sadly no one told him Minato and his wife died 15 years ago during the Kyūbi attack.
Hokage tower
"Jiji do you think Gai-sensei would help me with my battle fans? He is the best taijutsu Master around and I'm sure he would know a style that would work with them." Said Narita as she looked up from the paperwork she was stamping for him.
"I see why not. Gai just arrived this morning back in the village with his team. I'm sure after the meeting I have set in half an hour and after the announcement to the village you could speak with him." Said Sarutobi.
"Jiji the Civilian Council had 15 documents wanting to band me from the village and every store in town again. Also what meeting?" She asked as she tilted her head.
"You will see. Those documents just denied them. Those fools will be shitting bricks here soon." Said Sarutobi as he went back to his stack of paperwork.
The time had arrived and all Chuunin and Jonin in the village along with both Councils gathered in the Council room.
"I called you all here today to inform you of an announcement I will be making shortly after this meeting to the village." Said Sarutobi.
Narita sat next to the aged Hokage. 'Maybe he'll make me Hokage.' She thought with a small giggle.
"What do you want to address to us?" Asked Danzo.
Mischievous grin cross his lips as he looked at his old friend. "I am revealing Narita's parentage to the world. For she is the daughter of our late hero Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki-Namikaze." He told everyone as the room grew quiet.
"What proof do you have?" Demand Danzo.
"My late wife delivered Narita into this world and I have her birth certificate and I was there when she came into this world." Said The 3rd Hokage.
"Then she is the Princess of Konoha that was thought to have died with her parents." Said Shikaku.
"That she is. Such I do expect you all to treat her with respect. For this girl is also a Hero." Said the 3rd Hokage. He stood up and took Narita's hand and lead her out of the room.
Anbu had gone around informing the villagers that the Hokage was going to make an announcement and for them to gather.
At the main gate stood Dias. He looked at the two guards on duty. "I have a meeting with the Hokage. He knows of my arrive." He told them.
"Sir, please sign in and list reason for visit to our village." Said the Chuunin.
Dias nodded his head and signed the log sheet and put stay unknown. Just then Neko appeared before him.
"Mr. Dias Namikaze. Please come with me. The Hokage would like to see you before he makes his announcement." Said Neko.
He could only nod his head as they vanished in a poof of smoke.
"Jiji your going to tell everyone who may parents are?" Asked Narita as she looked out the window panicked. "Do you think it's a good idea?"
"Please my dear girl calm down. Everything will be fine." Said Sarutobi.
Just then Neko appeared with a man at her side. "Lord Hokage, he has arrived."
Nodding to Neko and smiling Sarutobi stood up. "Dais Namikaze. It is a pleasure to finely meet you." He told the now named man.
Narita looked over at the man with black hair and dark eyes. He did look like her father in away. A much older version.
"Lord Hokage. I am here about my brother and his family. Where is he?" Questioned Dias.
"I regret to inform you. Your brother and his wife died shortly after the birth of their daughter Narita Ella Uzumaki-Namikaze. 15 years ago." Said the Hokage.
Dias fell to the floor. Tears fell from his eyes as he looked up at the aged leader. "How? WHY?" He asked.
"My parents died sealing the Kyūbi no Kitsune inside of me." Said Narita as she stepped out of the shadows. Her bright blue eyes shined with unsheathed tears.
Dias looked up at the girl. He let out a small gasp. "Ella?" He whispered.
Narita tilted her head and looked at the man. "That is my middle name. But, my name is Narita Ella Uzumaki-Namikaze. Who may you be?" she asked him.
Slowly he stood once again walking up to the girl. "I am your Uncle Dias Black Wing Namikaze." He told her. "You look like our ancestors Ella Ragu. It is a very scary."
"I guess I saw a picture of her this morning with another. I believe his name was Gou." Said Narita.
"Yes, he was her adopted brother." Said Dias.
"I am sorry to interrupt you both. But, my dear it is time " Said the 3rd Hokage. "Please Dias come along with us. This also involves your brother as well as you."
They both nodded to the aged leader and fallowed him to the roof top.
"People of Konoha I have grand news to share with you. Over 15 years ago our late 4th Hokage Minato Namikaze and his late wife Kushina Uzumaki-Namikaze passed away shortly after the birth of their daughter. Many believe she had died along with them in the attack. But, she didn't. She is alive and well. Our two great hero's wished that you would see their Daughter as a Hero as well. For she is the vessel that holds the Kyūbi no Kitsune. Her name is Narita Ella Uzumaki-Namikaze. The Princess of Konoha. Here today is her Uncle Dias Namikaze. Please respect our late Hero's wishes and see their only daughter as the true Hero she truly is." Said the 3rd Hokage.
Okay kitties I leave you there. Another nice cliff hanger.
What does Dias have to teach and tell Narita?
