AN: Yes, yes, I know another story. But honestly, I got inspired by a story from an awesome author by the name of Scarface101. The story is called Action Uzumaki and features the Iwaga sisters, Sakura and Asagi. However, this story will mainly focus on Sakura Iwaga as she will be the main pairing with Naruto unless I decide to bring in Ino since I am a big fan of Ino as some of you may know. Asagi will play a semi-minor role, as such, don't expect to see her much. Other than that, the Rookie 12 will be 16 and Team Gai will be 17 while everyone else is around the same age and before you ask, there is a possibility of one additional character joining Naruto, Sakura, and possibly Ino.
[Nadeshiko Village]
In the hidden village that was inhabited by only women who are trained in the shinobi arts, there is an elite group, much like the ANBU of the major villages, called Taimanin. Within the Village Head's manor, we find one such warrior kneeling before her leader, awaiting their mission.
"We have lost contact with our spy within the Land of Waves. As you know they were investigating rumors of sex trafficking operating out of the country there. The last missive we received was that a business tycoon by the name of Gato is somehow involved." A dark-blue-haired woman wearing baggy robes and her lower face covered. "I want you to go to the Land of Waves, investigate this information, and it turns out to be true, free the captives, and kill Gato."
"Yes, Chief, I will depart immediately." An orange-haired girl with spiky bangs, blue eyes, and her lower face covered.
This was Sakura Iwaga, sister to the current village chief Asagi. She wore a skin-tight light battle outfit that left absolutely nothing to the imagination. She wore a leotard that wrapped around her neck and went over her breasts, abs, and womanhood, leaving her shoulders arms, and back free. It was held in place by a strong but flexible silver frame that symmetrically went over her shoulders and down her back before connecting right at the top of her hips. Her lower half was also covered with a dark brown pantyhose that covered only her hips, rear, and thighs. For armor, she had Cuisse and polymer that covered only her outer thigh and knees which were mostly black and the inner edges of the cuisse were silver with one edge being orange while a gold diamond was seen at the bottom of the pointed silver frame.
Her boots connected to her polymer and they guarded her shins and the outer side of her calves while the back of them and her inner calves were covered with fishnet stockings. The front of the boots were silver that wrapped around her Achilles heel while the outer of them had orange arrow plating that ended at her ankle. For her footwear, she wore plated high heels with the heel being black while the rest of it was formed with solid orange plating that allowed her to move without any restrictions. For her arm, she had a fishnet wrapping around her whole arm with a silver clip around her bicep and a gold diamond on the top of the clip. She wore steel bracers with the main color being orange secondary color being black and a silver line between the two colors.
"Good." Asagi nodded stiffly. "Stay safe, but keep contact to a minimum until the mission is complete. I suspect if our intel is indeed true, the traffickers will be on high alert."
"I'll be careful," Sakura said as she got up. "See you soon sis!"
[1 week later – Land of Waves]
As Sakura arrived in the village, she saw things were far worse than just simple sex slavery and trafficking. Children were starving and suffering, bandits with katanas were walking around like they owned the place, and women were taken in the middle of streets while the men were just about their business with their heads down, knowing they'd be killed if they tried to be a hero. Most houses were falling apart and wouldn't survive a heavy storm, the only ones in decent repair were the shops and carpenter's homes. Of course, the carpenters could help the village, and they did before their village hero got crucified for standing up to Gato.
'Things are worse than we thought they were... This country is on its last legs. I should see if there are any resistance groups or even individuals.' She thought as she kept to the shadows.
[Meanwhile – Tazuna's House]
As the Taimanin arrived in the village, a team of freshly graduated Genin arrived after being hired by the local bridge builder to protect him while he and his crew built his bridge that would connect them to the mainland of the Land of Fire. Tazuna, the bridge builder, wasn't aware that there was already help coming when he left to get help from Konoha.
However, despite quickly discovering they were over their heads, Team 7 consisting of Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno led by Jonin Kakashi Hatake, decided to continue the mission. Even if it meant they had the threat of the A-ranked Rogue Shinobi Zabuza Momochi hanging over their heads. Right now they are resting after their first encounter with the swordsman while the copycat ninja is currently out of commission due to Chakra Exhaustion.
"I'm gonna head out and scout around town to get a better idea of what's going on. We didn't see much given the route we took to get here." Naruto said wanting to get away from his so-called team.
"Naruto! We have to stick together in case Gato sends someone else after Tazuna!" his pink-haired teammate screeched.
"Fine, I'll leave some Shadow Clones behind just in case." The blonde retorted as he summoned 5 solid clones.
"What good will clones do to protect the client?" Sasuke asked arrogantly.
"Besides being solid clones?" The Jinchūriki asked rhetorically before continuing with an annoyed tone. "When one is destroyed, I get that clone's memories, therefore, having 5 clones will be enough to at least delay whatever threat comes knocking... not the great Sasuke Uchiha needs my help... right?"
Before either could respond, Naruto was out the door and the house after giving Tazuna and his daughter a heads up. Meanwhile, his two teammates fumed at the blonde for the blatant disrespect, while their Jonin inwardly sighed while trying to sleep through the argument. He knew Naruto had been hiding his skills and true appearance in the academy, after all, someone doesn't go from a veritable twig to what many women would call a beefcake.
He could still remember the day he first met his team... He wouldn't have recognized the young man if had been for the whiskers, untamable spiky blonde hair, and sapphire blue eyes. Naruto had bulged up to the point that while he maintained the build needed for speed, he was obviously built for power as well. The young man definitely turned heads from both sexes, with envy from the male population due to his chiseled physique and bulging arms, and lust and admiration from the women, young and old alike.
Even his casual outfit that he wore around the village didn't do anything to hide his mass, a plain black leather jacket that he left open showing a mesh tank top underneath, black jeans, and closed-toed leather boots with his now seemingly signature burnt orange cotton scarf. However, the Jinchūriki's mission outfit was just plain intimidating. It was a form-fitting black outfit that was made out of flexible yet tough material allowing for quick mobility. for the torso, he wore a sleeveless armored chest piece with thicker plating over his pecks and abs with a few inches separating them with the earlier mentioned material so that they didn't hinder torso movement.
The pants were made of the same material but with harder padding on the outer thigh, calves, and feet sans the ankle so that the foot could move more easily. On each of the thighs were three slots made for simple weapons such as kunai and senbon. on his arms, he wore bracers over fingerless gloves made of the same material as the rest of the suit. On the back of the torso armor was a slot made specifically for a katana but adjustable so that it could carry another weapon or potentially a scroll too large for a weapons pouch. Even his face was mostly covered by full headgear with metal plating that framed the frontal top of the gear, leaving only his eyes visible.
'I still remember when Sakura tried to accuse him of trying to be cooler than Sasuke for wearing his mission clothes... I really should try harder to break her out of her fangirl attitude and get her to actually train.' The silver-haired Jonin mentally sighed not knowing she was in one hell of a wake-up call soon. 'Still, where did he even get an outfit like that? Not even Higurashi's doesn't have anything like that from what I know.'
"You two should get some rest, I highly doubt Gato will send anyone else tonight. Tomorrow we'll start on your training." He spoke up letting his Genin know he was awake, and annoyed at the noise levels. "And Naruto has the right idea about doing some recon work. All we know is that this country is being held in a chokehold and the people have given up."
The Uchiha scoffed and went to his futon in the room, while Sakura knew better than to argue with her sensei after being lectured during their first-night camping, so she went down to help Tsunami clean up around the house since wasn't quite ready for sleep.
[In the village]
Naruto couldn't wait for the next 3 months to be over with. Immediately after their Genin Exam, Naruto went to the Hokage about his serious doubts that the team would last, whether it be from killing each other, or Sasuke going rogue to avenge his clan. While Hiruzen did try to reason with the blonde that he was exaggerating, the very real possibility of the young Uchiha going rogue was a valid point, therefore he made Naruto a deal: for the blonde to train hard, keep an eye on his raven-haired teammate, and in 3 months, he will have then have a chance at being promoted, regardless if Kakashi doesn't recommend him and his "team."
Coming out of his brooding, he finally took notice of the state of things, women being raped in the streets with no one trying to help, kids visibly starving, almost everyone dressed in rags and in desperate need of a bath or shower, buildings in need of repair, and thugs walking around with swords. 'Yeah, I'm glad we continued this mission even if Tazuna owes us a lot of back pay for this mission.'
However, he also noticed movement in the shadows, signifying the presence of well-trained shinobi. Oddly, there wasn't the malevolent intent that came from the Demon Twins or Zabuza, but that didn't mean they were an ally. They would be working with that fake Hunter Ninja or even another enemy in the employ of Gato.
'I better check it out.' The Jinchūriki thought as he leaped off into the alleyways towards the hidden shinobi.
Meanwhile, Sakura too noticed the bulky shinobi walking through the streets looking around, but what stood out was the red swirl that was on his scarf.
'Is he from Konoha? A survivor of the Uzumaki Clan? Or both?' She thought before being slightly startled when he started coming her way. 'What is he thinking...?'
She quickly gathered her wits and signified for him to follow her, deciding that if there was going to be a fight, she'd rather take it away from the already suffering civilians. Seeing the hunk nod in agreement, she leads him to a clearing just outside the village.
"Alright, who are you and where do you hail from?" the Taimanin asked as they arrived, with both of their guards up.
Once Naruto got a good look at the kunoichi in front of him, he had to admit she definitely took her training seriously, and her figure rivaled, if not surpassed his best friend/big sister figure back in Konoha, even if he had to admit this woman was a bit more daring in wearing purely a skin tight outfit that left nothing to the imagination, however, he really like her blue eyes and orange hair.
"I could ask you the same thing. Are you working for Zabuza or Gato?" The Blonde asked with narrowed eyes.
"Working for Gato?!" The orangette asked furiously, clearly insulted at the idea. "I'm here to put an end to that short butter ball's sex trafficking operation!"
"Then our goals somewhat align. You've seen the chokehold he has on these poor people, what his goons are getting away with." Naruto said before holding out his hand. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki from the Hidden Leaf Village. Why don't we work together?"
"I'm Sakura Iwaga from Nadeshiko Village," Sakura said taking his hand. "But are you sure you're in authority to offer a collab between us?"
"Probably not, but you can at least come back to our base of operations and talk with my Jonin Sensei." He said with a shrug letting go after shaking her hand.
"Wait, you're a Genin? You're more jacked than most Jonin!" She exclaimed in shock, seeing him just shrug, showing off bulging biceps even more, she sighed. "Alright, I'll come back with you. Who is you sensei anyhow?"
"The Copy Cat Ninja, Kakashi Hatake." The Blonde said casually. "But I should warn you that my other two teammates are bad... The last 'loyal' Uchiha, Sasuke, and his fangirl, Sakura Haruno."
Iwaga shuttered at the mention of a girl with her first name being a fangirl. Not to mention it will likely get confusing when talking to two of them. "Gotcha. And lemme guess the Uchiha is so emo, yet full of himself that he thinks he's god's gift to man."
"Yup..." The Jinchūriki sighed. "Come on, they are probably starting to wonder what's taking me so long."
"You never did say what your team is doing here other than our goals align somewhat." The Orangette reminded.
"Oh, we're here to protect the 'super' bridge builder, Tazuna, and his family while he finishes his build that will connect this country to the mainland and hopefully get them out from under Gato's thumb," Naruto answered.
"Ahh, I see. Working together would improve our chances of success of getting Gato's control out of this country, maybe even in prison or dead." She nodded earning a nod in return.
[Back at Tazuna's]
As the two arrived, Tsunami was the first to notice. "Oh! Naruto, a friend of yours?"
Before he could answer, Haruno immediately took notice of the exceptionally curvy and buxom young woman next to her blonde teammate. 'What the hell?! How does she have that big of a chest and still be that trim!?'
"Naruto! I thought you were supposed to be scooping out the village! Not bring back a big-breasted whore!" The pinkette taunted, hiding her jealousy only to feel the sharp edge of cold steel against her throat with the orangette behind her with hardened eyes.
"Just because I'm dressed in a skin-tight outfit with a figure most women would kill for, does not make me a whore, you flat-chested howler monkey," Igawa said with an equally hard voice. "You insult that headband you wear and the rest of us proper Kunoichi with your obvious lack of training and meat on your bones."
"Sakura... as much as I am enjoying seeing her scared out of her mind, I don't think it will help to get Kakashi's consent to work together if you end up killing the fangirl," Naruto smirked earning a scowl from the Taimanin before she relented.
"What is going on down here...? You're making it difficult for me to get the rest I need to recover." Kakashi groaned as he hobbled down the stairs before taking note of the extra person in the house. "and who might you be? I can tell you're obviously skilled."
"Copycat Hatake, it's a pleasure to meet you. Your reputation proceeds you." Iwaga said evenly. "Sakura Iwaga, Member of the elite unit known as Taimanin of Nadeshiko Village."
"And what's a Taimanin doing all the way out here in Wave?" The silver-haired man asked, expertly hiding his surprise.
"The same as you. Stop Gato's sex trafficking operation by any means necessary, if that means helping free these people from this chokehold, all the better." She said seriously. "Naruto suggested we work together since our goals somewhat align."
"Hmm." The ex-Anbu thought for a moment. 'Having someone that is the equivalent to an ANBU would be a big help against Zabuza.' "Very well. Though I feel I should inform you that it's not going to be as easy as just taking out Gato."
"Oh?" Iwaga asked curiously.
So Kakashi explained the details of their mission thus far, including the Demon Twins that were left hogtied, and their encounter with Zabuza in honest detail causing the busty young woman to listen on in shock.
"You've lost your touch if you're this banged up from your encounter with Zabuza. Still, what were you thinking of continuing a mission that was clearly B-rank at the very least... A-Rank with Zabuza and his accomplice posing as a Hunter Ninja with Genin fresh from the Academy." She sighed. "Even if Naruto looks like he's trained hard for it."
Haruno looked like she was ready to burst a blood vein but was going to attack the woman after she could have been killed already. The Scarecrow, however, didn't appreciate being lectured. "Tell me, would you have left the client, and these people to their fate? Or continue the mission and worry about payment later?"
"I wouldn't have taken a fresh team of Genin that got lucky against a killer like Zabuza! If the client is gonna be paying for the proper rank later, I'd get a proper team to deal with the situation!" The orangette yelled back. "You know damn well that if Zabuza was serious about killing your team, they would be dead right now!"
That caused the former Anbu to wince knowing she was right. "How about we discuss how to proceed in the morning?"
"Fine..." The Taimanin sighed before turning to the lady of the house. "Do you have somewhere for me to sleep?"
"Oh! Well, I'm afraid you'll have to share a room with Miss Haruno. Our other rooms are taken at the moment." Tsumani said slightly frightened of the aggression shown.
'Great... have to share a room with the pink-haired fangirl.' The orangette sighed before nodding while the pinkette looked like she wanted to object but knew they didn't have the room elsewhere.
'I'm not looking forward to the morning when Sasuke gets introduced to Ms. Iwaga. It's gonna be disastrous...especially with his ego.' Kakashi groaned. "Now, Naruto, if you can give me a hand back to our room, we get some sleep. Sakura, Ms. Iwaga, we'll be up at sunrise to begin training in earnest, that is, if I can count on your assistance Ms. Iwaga?"
"Yeah, sure, I'll give you a hand." The Taimanin waved him off before dragging the twig of a girl by her wrist. "Come on Pinkie."
Up in their shared room, the pinkette finally had enough. "Get your hands off me you cow-tittied slut!"
"I'll have you know that I'm still pure. You're just jealous!" Iwaga snarled, and before the younger Sakura could protest. "Don't think I didn't notice the first you did when you noticed me was glare at my bust."
"So what if I was!? Those things can't be natural!" the Banshee shrieked.
"And you are a twig." The older Sakura sneered. "I'll bet all of the female Jonin in your village are closer to my figure than yours."
"Whatever," Haruno grumbled as she got into her sleeping bag.
'I'll wait til tomorrow to see how she handles whatever training Hatake has planned and what she has for breakfast. I have a suspicion that she hasn't trained a day in her life outside of the academy and practically starving herself.' Iwaga thought as she laid out on the futon provided.
[The Next Morning – Grove of Trees near the Village]
"Alright, it's time to get training," Kakashi said, supporting himself with crutches. "You're going to learn to climb trees without your hands."
"You're kidding me..." Iwaga sighed as she palmed her face. "You haven't taught them this already, much less water walking...? I'm surprised you took them out of the village without teaching them those two important skills."
"I know them," Naruto said with a sigh. "I was taught by someone I consider one of my sisters after it was clear we weren't going be taught anything other than teamwork exercises."
"Yeah, right." Sasuke scoffed. "You couldn't do the leaf balancing technique in the Academy, how could a loser like you do apparently more advanced techniques."
Instead of rebuking the Uchiha's comment verbally, the Uzumaki simply walked up the side of the nearest tree. He didn't stop until he was halfway up and hung upside down from a branch, looking down at his team with a deadpan stare seeing their shocked faces. "I'd demonstrate water walking too, but they'll have to wait til we head back to Tazuna's."
"Well done. Seems I was right about you." The Taimanin said happily.
"Naruto, you know it's frowned upon getting training from anyone other than your Jonin Sensei, don't you?" The Copy Cat Ninja sighed, clearly not happy about being made look bad in front of a foreign Kunoichi.
"We got permission from Gramps." The Blonde shrugs. "Especially since she is partly the reason for my appearance and physique."
"And I take it she was the one that came up with the idea to hide your appearance under genjutsu or the transformation jutsu?" The silver-haired Jonin sighed, knowing who his sensei's son was talking about.
"Actually, she was against it." The Jinchūriki said shocking the Cyclops. "It was Gramps and her friends that convinced her. The civilians and council would have raised a fuss that I was getting strong as a civilian and promised I'd be able to show my true self when I got my headband and therefore directly under his authority."
"Why would the council or the people of the village care if you got stronger?" Sakura asked clueless earning a deadpan stare from the masked Genin.
"Tell me Sakura.. what did you and your fellow fangirls do when I showed up for team placements?" He asked plainly making the pinkette blush in embarrassment.
"Let me guess... They admonished you about trying to outclass Sasuke and possibly tried to attack you." Iwaga said in the same deadpan tone further embarrassing the flat-chested girl when the blonde nodded.
"Well then, getting back on track... Naruto, care to explain how you did it for your teammates." Kakashi asked.
"Simply put... Channel chakra to the bottom of your feet, too much you'll blast off the side of the surface you're trying to climb, too little you slip right off. Best to start off at a run in the beginning til it becomes second nature." Naruto said dully. "Just be glad that my sister figure isn't here. Her method of teaching was throwing kunai while having extremely poisonous snakes waiting for me to fall. Funny how that kind of motivation quickens training huh?"
'Yeah... That sounds like Anko alright.' The Copy Ninja thought warily. "For now, use a kunai to mark your progress."
Sasuke was still seething that Naruto, of all people, was so far ahead of him, that his focus was weak, and thus only took three steps before blasting off the tree. The flames of his anger were fueled even further when Sakura got the exercise down right away and was standing on the first branch.
"Well done pinkie." The busty Sakura said with a hint of pride. "Now, can you make it to the top and back down?"
"You're not serious?!" The pinkette screeched. "I'm not even a quarter of the way up! There's no way I can get to the top. I'm already feeling fatigued!"
"Then you should have taken your training seriously." The Taimanin rebutted. "But it's not too late. Start taking your training seriously, stop dieting, and eat properly. If you're worried about getting fat, then don't be. While you may not get my bust, you can still get a fit and trim figure without excess muscle as long as you don't overdo it."
"She's right Sakura. You saw Team 8's Jonin right?" The blonde said getting a slow nod from his flat-chested teammate. "Do you think she starves herself or doesn't train regularly? Yeah, She might be known as the Genjutsu Mistress... but she keeps herself in shape knowing she can't rely solely on her illusions."
"You seem to know her well," Kakashi stated.
"Considering she's one of Anko's few friends, I suppose I do." The Masked Genin shrugged. "Same goes with Kiba's sister and ANBU Neko."
"Yeah, right Naruto..." The Pinkette scoffed as she was back on the ground. "Like you, of all people, could befriend the 4 Ice Queens of Konoha."
"Actually, it's not that hard to believe," Iwaga said crossing her arms under her bust. "If this sister figure is who I think she is, then befriending someone with a reputation like hers would, after a brief period of suspicion, befriend her friends."
'Not to mention Yugao looked up to Kushina before she passed away that night, so she's been a voluntary member of Naruto's guard until he became a Genin.' The Copy Cat Ninja thought ruefully. "Alright, you two, back to work. Ms. Iwaga, since Naruto has done this and water walking, how about you two start scouting the town for your part of the effort to free this country?"
"Why should she leave with Naruto! She should be training an Uchiha Elite rather than socializing with a clanless loser!" The Emo erupted in anger.
'I was wondering when his ego and inferiority/superiority complex would surface...' Naruto and Kakashi thought, waiting for the Taimanin to respond.
"Really? And where is this Elite Uchiha?" The busty Sakura asked sarcastically looking around. "All I see is a brooding teenager with a duckbutt for hair who thinks that everything should be handed to him on a silver platter just because his entire clan was wiped out by one of their own."
"Why you..." The Uchiha ground out.
"Lemme tell you something, you spoiled little shit." The Orangette turned around and looked at the buff Genin. "Your Clan may have a district, but fishcake here comes from a clan that had their own island. Instead of being wiped out by one person in a single night, the Uzumaki Clan fought off 3 of the 5 Great Nations for months before most of them were killed off leaving a few stragglers scattered throughout the world. The reason for the attack, was because they were feared for their proficiency in Fūinjutsu or Sealing Arts."
'Ah, shit...' The Scarecrow thought in dread.
"What...?" The Uzumaki asked in shock.
"You mean Naruto is from a near-extinct clan? Why didn't we hear about them in the Academy then?" Haruno asked, unknowingly pissing off her bustier counterpart and her blonde teammate. However, she noticed her sensei palm his face before motioning her to shut up.
"Let me ask you something," Iwaga asked tensely. "You've been taught about your past Hokage right?"
"Yeah, why does that matter?" Sasuke scoffed.
"Then surely you know of Mito Uzumaki, Hashirama's wife?" The Busty Sakura strained before getting negative shakes from the Genin. "Kakashi! WHAT THE HELL HAS YOUR VILLAGE BEEN TEACHING YOUR CADETS?! WHY THE HELL DON'T THEY KNOW ABOUT YOUR OLDEST ALLIES OR WHAT THAT SWIRL YOU WEAR ON YOUR VESTS MEANS?! DO CHUNIN EVEN KNOW?!"
'Geez...and I thought the Uzumaki's had insane tempers.' The Jonin thought before sighing. "I don't know why the Uzumaki Clan has been excluded from our history lessons. That's something to ask the Hokage. All laws and amendments are supposed to go through his office, and I highly doubt he'd remove the Uzumaki from lessons...
My question is why are you so upset about it?"
"Why... you ask?" The Taimanin asked having calmed down slightly. "Because HIS" she points at the buff Genin. "Mother saved me and my sister's life! Even if that blonde asshole tried to prevent her from doing so we'd end up being sold into slavery!"
"I see." The Scarecrow nodded. 'But why would Minato Sensei practically promote slavery... probably mindless sex slaves.'
"You knew my parents?" Naruto asked, hopeful to learn something.
"Tch... yeah. But we only talk about Kushina... that blonde asshole isn't someone we care to talk about, much less mention his name." The Orangette scowled. "Kakashi, you better train those two seriously. We've taken up enough daylight discussing this."
"Yeah... I got it." Kakashi said waving them off. "And when you calm down and do your recon work, we'll meet back at the house."
"Fine, but don't think this is over Cyclops," Iwaga growled. "Especially since your sensei was the very same asshole me and my sister would rather forget."
The blond narrowed his eyes at that. "Oh really... then yes, we do have MUCH to talk about...Hatake..."
'And...there goes whatever little respect Naruto had for me...' The Cyclops sighed and nodded.
"Let's go Sakura," Naruto said and turned to leave with the Nadeshiko native following closely behind.
AN: I figure this is a good place to end it. Now this note will be in each update... An explanation for my inactivity has been posted to my profile page, as is my game plan. See you in the next update on another story.
