In the bustling heart of Musutafu, Japan, where modernity kissed the skyline, a streak of sunlight sliced through an apartment window, bathing the room in a warm, golden hue. A peculiar scene unfolded as a small, red-furred creature with nine tails deftly pressed the remote control, bringing the television to life.
The screen buzzed with the latest news – a fierce confrontation between Pro Heroes Kamui Woods and Mt. Lady against a towering, unnamed Giant Villain. The camera panned across the scene, briefly capturing a young, green-haired boy amidst the crowd.
From the couch, a blonde-haired girl, barely in her teens, leaned forward with interest. This was Naruko Uzumaki, her face adorned with whisker-like markings, a telltale sign of her unique heritage as the jinchuriki of the Kyuubi.
Naruko: (pointing at tv) Look, there's Izuku!
she exclaimed, pointing at the figure on the screen. Her comment was met with a dispassionate response from a dark-haired boy lounging beside her, his own unique demeanor exuding a quiet intensity. This was Sasuke Uchiha, his forehead marked by a tic, his hair resembling the plumage of a certain bird.
Sasuke: Yeah, I see him. The small broccoli guy.
he replied, uninterested. Naruko shot him a playful glare.
Naruko: Still sporting that duck-ass hair, huh?
she teased, a smirk playing on her lips. Sasuke rolled his eyes, a hint of annoyance flickering across his face.
Sasuke: (grumble) Stop me calling it that.
Naruko: Fine, Teme.
Naruko chuckled, enjoying the light banter. Checking the time, Sasuke's expression shifted to one of urgency.
Naruko: We should head out. We can't be late for class.
he said, standing up. Naruko nodded in agreement, and together, they stepped out of the apartment. Dressed in her school uniform and casual clothes, also she was wearing glasses. they made an unusual pair, navigating through the streets towards their school. In this world of heroes and quirks, two shinobi from another realm were about to embark on a day filled with the mundane challenges of school life, a stark contrast to their extraordinary origins.
Back in the apartment, the red-furred creature, none other than the Kyuubi in his chibi form, sighed in relief.
Kurama: Stupid hormonal teenagers, finally gone.
he muttered, his tails swishing in annoyance. With the pair gone, he eagerly switched the channel, settling on an old series titled "Friends." A character on screen, Joey, delivered his iconic line,
Joey: How you doin?
The Kyuubi chuckled, his eyes twinkling with amusement.
Kurama: Even if it's centuries old, this show is hilarious.
he mused, settling in to enjoy his favorite sitcom, a small yet significant reminder of the curious ways in which worlds and times could intertwine.
Naruko and Sasuke, in their school clothes, made their way through the bustling streets of Musutafu. The morning air was crisp, filled with the everyday sounds of a city waking up. They arrived at Aldera Junior High, a place far removed from the world they once knew, yet now a part of their daily lives.
The schoolyard was abuzz with students chatting, laughing, and preparing for the day ahead. Naruko scanned the crowd, her blue eyes searching until they landed on a familiar face.
Naruko: Izuku!
she called out, her voice laced with excitement. She waved her hand energetically, trying to catch his attention.
Izuku Midoriya, somewhat short for his age, turned at the sound of his name. His round face, framed by a short mop of fluffy dark-green hair, lit up with recognition. His large, circular eyes, the same shade of green as his hair, sparkled with a watery sheen, reflecting his innocent and energized nature. The symmetrical freckles on his cheeks seemed to dance as he smiled, making his way towards Naruko and Sasuke.
Izuku: Hey, Naruko, Sasuke!"
Izuku greeted them with his usual wide-eyed enthusiasm. Despite often being described as "plain-looking" or not particularly standing out, there was an undeniable earnestness and warmth about him that drew people in. Naruko's face broke into a wide grin.
Naruko: Hey, Izuku! Ready for another day of school?" she asked, her tone playful and light.
Sasuke, ever the reserved one, offered a slight nod of acknowledgment.
Sasuke: Midoriya.
he said simply, his voice carrying a hint of respect. Izuku's smile widened.
Izuku: Yeah, I'm ready! It's always interesting with you two around.
he replied, his voice tinged with genuine fondness.
Izuku: "Let's head in together."
As the trio walked towards the school building, they chatted about their classes, the latest hero news, and the small, everyday things that made up their lives in this world. They were an unlikely group – a jinchuriki, a Uchiha, and a budding hero
In this place, where quirks and heroes were the norms, Naruko and Sasuke found themselves adapting, learning, and, in some ways, healing.
As Naruko gazed at Izuku, her mind drifted back to their first meeting. Izuku had been a timid, reserved boy then, often overreacting with exaggerated expressions to abnormal situations. His insecurity and vulnerability were palpable, shaped by years of ridicule from Katsuki Bakugo for being quirkless. Around Katsuki, Izuku's demeanor was especially tearful and non-expressive, a stark contrast to the determined, aspiring hero he longed to be.
Naruko's heart had resonated with Izuku's plight. His struggles mirrored her own past – a time when she was treated as an outcast in Konoha, with many doubting her potential as a kunoichi. She saw in Izuku the same fiery spirit that had kept her going against all odds.
Determined to help, Naruko took it upon herself to boost Izuku's self-esteem. Her approach was direct, brimming with the energy and positivity that was quintessentially Uzumaki. Sasuke, in his own taciturn and "emo" way, also offered his support, though his methods were more subdued and less overt.
Their interactions had a profound impact on Izuku. Under their guidance, he began to shed his insecurities, growing steadily in confidence and resolve.
Naruko's thoughts then shifted to her first encounter with Katsuki Bakugo. She vividly remembered him shouting at Izuku, derogatorily calling him "Deku." The nickname, meant as an insult, had struck a nerve with Naruko. In a move that was as unexpected as it was bold, she had retaliated in what she dubbed "Uzumaki style" – with a swift kick to Bakugo's groin.
That incident had marked the beginning of a tumultuous relationship between Naruko and Bakugo. Their school record was dotted with accounts of their clashes, each altercation initiated by Bakugo and deftly handled by Naruko. Despite his explosive power and aggressive tactics, Bakugo had never managed to best Naruko in their skirmishes.
As she refocused on the present, watching Izuku chat animatedly with Sasuke, Naruko felt a sense of pride. Her influence, along with Sasuke's, had played a part in shaping the young Midoriya into someone who could stand up for himself, someone closer to realizing his dream of becoming a hero.
As they begin to walk to the she chatted with Izuku.
Naruko: So I saw you in tv, (sarcasm) when Mt.lady win her from the struggling battle for the giant villain.
Izuku: Yeah. Her quirk gigantificatio is impressive. Well, she's definitely got the looks
and attitude to be a crowd favourite, and her Quirk is really showy. But it will be hard for her to
get around much in the city without damaging lots of things.
Naruko: Meaning she's not be very useful...
Izuku scratches his head chuckling nervously.
Izuku: As I much I love heroes. But yes, is kind disadvantage.
Sasuke: Pretty sure she was looking for attention because she already in her thirties with no boyfriend.
Naruko: (shake her head) Oof, pretty she'll try to crush you her big butt.
Sasuke: (smile) Unnless you use Kakashi secret technique.
Naruko stop and rub her chin thinking thousand year death against mt.lady. The two boys stop their track looking at Naruko in thinking pose.
Sasuke: Please tell me you're not considering it?
Izuku: What is this thoausand year of death?
Sasuke: Is doin a kancho to the person.
Izuku by instinct cover her posterior and felt shiver down his spine.
Naruko: Relax even I do that it would a 50% percent chance of disaster for me.
Sasuke raise a brow, was curious.
Sasuke: Elaborate.
Naruko began to explain with a comic cloud above her head with a chibi her and Mt. Lady in her gaint form.
Naruko: I use thousand year of death on a giant person, the outcome is...
The chibi Naruto uses it chibi Mt.Lady and her face show in pain covering her back entrance.
Naruko: But the 50% of her falling down a building destroying property.
Chibi Mt.lady fall on top of buildings and destroyed and Chibi Naruko sweatdrop with shock face expression.
Naruko: (disgusted expression) the other 50%...
The Chibi My.lady disappears and reveals the comic cloud with brow smudge pixalated.
Naruko: The outcome is very messy.
Izuku and Sasuke shiver in disgusted of imagining it.
Sasuke: I rather go to class instead of talking shoving finger into people assholes.
Naruko: (nods) Yeah.
Classroom
The three slide into their seats, Naruko placed her head onto the table and listened as her classmates' chat about their plan for the weekend. While all of her classmate talked about how theory were going to have fun, she was thinking what to make dinner, Sasuke cooked last night and it was her turn. she was thinking maybe she can some Tonkatsu with homemade sauce.
Naruko: Hey teme.
Sasuke: (looks at her) What is it dobe?
Naruko: I was thinking to make some Tonkatsu for dinner, wanna if you want that or something else.
Sasuke: (No, it's fine. But we ran out of tomato, Dijon mustard and mirin.
Naruko: I guess I head to market after school.
The Uchiha nods and she look at Izuku.
Naruko: Hey Izuku.
Izuku was writing, stopped when Naruko called him.
Izuku: Hm, what was is naruko?
Naruko: Wanna come later to dinner with us.
Izuku: (hand gesture) sorry naruko, my mom is making dinner tonight.
Naruko: (smile) is okay.
She turn to the sound of the class room door, sliding open and revealing to be their teacher carrying a huge stack a paper. she remembered those papers were about their future, from the way the old man kept flickering his eyes at her and Sasuke, she presumed the man was little bit furious with them, well her, but she didn't do any pranks...yet.
Teacher: Quit the ruckus!
Teacher slammed his hand on the table, which got everybody to stop talking and start paying attention to him.
Teacher: So... as third-year students it's time to start thinking seriously about your futures and what you want to do with your lives.
Naruko didn't miss the way her teacher looked at her and Sasuke, mostly her. When he stressed the two words think seriously. So it seemed he like he actually did read all of the forms that they gave him. All this time, she just thought a middle-aged man was too busy encouraging them to become heroes or doctors that that the man didn't acxtually care about what they want.
Teacher: I could pass out some career aptitude tests. But...Why bother? I know you all want to go to the Hero Track!
Their teacher continued, levitating each of the papers toward them. The words of their teacher earned yells of agreement of their classmates, who promptly showed off their quirks for everyone to see. The middle-aged man shook his head and gave them a stern look.
Teacher: Yes, yes, you've got some very impressive Quirks but no power usage allowed in school. Get a hold of yourselves...
Naruko: (scoff, whisper) Yet you used them during class whenever you can't be bother to lift the whiteboard marker and you never noticed the fact I used my clones.
Naruko grumbling words dumbass teacher, lazyass.
Bakugo Hey, teach... Don't lump me in with this bunch of losers.
A bloned haired boy yelled, leaning against his chair.
Bakugo: I'm the real deal but these guys will be lucky to end up as sidekicks to some busted D-lister. Ha!
Naruko tuned out her other classmate's yells and stared at the Bakugo, she couldn't stand that guy, she thought Sasuke had superiority complex but the Pomeranian asshole has more than the Uchiha. What annoyed her was the nickname he gives her, calling her whisker of her birthmark. Some boys tried to flirt with her with the nickname whisker-chan or pick up line. She wasn't raised without parents good think because those boys kicked in the balls or punch really hard. Naruko can sense emotions few after she and Sasuke arrive this dimension.
She really hate that guy, always trying to destroyed Izuku courage and self esteemed. All she knew Izuku and Bakugo used to childhood friends and someday something changed because of it, he started treating izuku like trash.
Student: You think you're better than us, Katsuki?!
All of the student got angered yelling at him, as always Bakugo smiling cocky smirk.
Bakugo: Let's go, I'll take you all on!
Teacher: Huh, you've got impressive test results. Maybe you will get into U.A. High.
All of the students yells in protest, but became quiet at the middle-aged man's words. If everyone shone anger just now, now that angered melted away was replaced with three emotion: Fear, nervous and respect for the blonde. Naruko tilted her and said with out thinking.
Naruko: It's just some high school.
female student: It isn't some just high school, Uzumaki!
the blonde whisker blink her eyes when she that everyone turned their attention to her.
Naruko: (low voice) Fuck.
Sasuke: (writing in his notebook) Should have kept quiet dobe.
Naruko: (glare at him) Fuck you teme.
Sasuke: Mhmm.
He kept writing in his notebook.
Female Student: U.A. High School is the best national high school for heroes. They are so selective that their cutoff point can be as high as seventy-nine! Not everyone can get accepted there.
Naruto: gave her dull expression and says.
Naruto: (deadpanned) So in other word is a fancy.
Sasuke snort a little, finding that comment funny. Some of the classmate glare at her of making fun U.A. high. She then glare at them back with as her eyes slit like a fox, wasn't red but still blue. so got reputation at the school she is known as the yellow death, yellow hot jabanero and last the yellow fox, because one time she fought Bakugo with his friends causing her to her fall down with the pin holding the twin broke the school saw that when they saw her floating like nine tail, she then got the name yellow fox because of her whisker and the nine tail reference to this word legend of the kitsune in japan. Some of the student look away with fear.
Teacher: Hmm, if I also remember correctly didn't you also plan to go to U.A. High, Midoriya?
The teacher asked, snapping her of train of thought. Everyone in their class started at the green haired boy, who was sinking into his chair, before laughing out at their teacher's words.
Student: Midoriya! He can't get into school with just his good grades! one of the student point out.
Everybody was making fun of him, this was pissing off Naruko a lot, her blue eye turn red, Sasuke was welled annoyed by the way they treat him, then he spoke.
Sasuke: Midoriya has more chance of getting into U.A High then any of you do.
Drawing everybody to the Uchiha, even the fangirl were shock. Yep even not being in the shinobi world fangirl will never ceased to exist it his curse. Naruko smile at Sasuke words, knowing he's an asshole sometimes he's a sweet guy in very little moments, she then straightened her back and narrowed her eyes at her sneering classmate.
Naruko: If that high school is the best of the best they probably don't want idiots like you entering their school. After all, you barely passed our test last week.
The students scowled at the reminder of the blonde and smiled in triumph before glancing at Izuk, who mouthed the word "thank you" at the two. Naruko cares for Izuku he knows what it feels to be treated like and outsider and trash, ridiculed because of being different, Izuku is her green cinnamon friend. Sometimes his shyness and quietness reminds of her female best friend Hinata.
Bakugo: Oi Whisker, are you implying that someone like deku can enter the same school as me?
Bakugo snarled, drawing her attention to him.
Bakugo: He's quirkless.
The Sasuke spoke and uncaring tone, but inside he cared.
Sasuke: Pretty much, the dobe is implying that someone as smart as Izuku could enter U.U High school. He might not have a quirk needed but his brain and personality can make up for all the things he lacks. Considering the fact you that are entering U.A., it isn't a stretch to think that Izuku can get in.
Bakugo: What the hell are you implying, duckass?
He charged right toward his table, earning groans and sigh from all their classmates. Naruko smil innocently.
Naruko: Wow and I thought you were smart but it seems you can't understand Japanese since we're basically saying that you have a shitty personality for hero and more like tiny Pomeranian with high pitch voice from having his balls removed.
This caused some students choke and snicker at the insult. Growling, Bakugo swung his arm toward table Naruko chunchin behind, pull her hand forward and summon adamantium chain from her palm and tied Bakugo. He began to get free. Everybody was shock seeing her chains they have seen her using water ability, wind and clones, never seen chains.
Naruko: This is the prime example of why I think you have a shitty personality.
She said slowly as if she was speaking to a child.
Naruko: A hero shouldn't get angry immediately. If it wasn't for the fact that I know how to defend myself, I could have gotten hurt and no one wants that.
Bakugo: Don't fucking talk to me like I'm a child!
He snarled at her, Naruko pin him to the ground, her foot planted on the side of head and his face forward on the floor and snapped.
Naruko: Then don't fucking act like one! If you act like a fucking child then I will talk to you like I'm your babysitter!
Teacher: How many times have I told you not to fight in the classroom! What are two? A pair of barbarians!
Their homeroom teacher yelled, earning snickers from the members of the class. Scowling the blond haired girl released the bomb boy, smirking at the bomb boy rubbed his arm from how tight the chains was, before glancing at Izuku, who kept glancing at the two of them with strange look in his eyes.
Teacher: Now that the pair of you stopped fighting, I want to see you both in my office, Uzumaki-San, Uchiha-san.
Their homeroom teacher said, earning frowns from everyone in the class.
Teacher: We need to discuss about form that both of you fill in.
Later
After class was over Naruko say her goodbye to Izuku and Sasuke and her went to see the teacher. They enter and Sasuke closes the door of the office.
Teacher: Uzumaki-san and Uchiha-san, why did you both give me blank form when it came to your future high school?
Raven and blonde look at each other and shrug and told him honestly.
Naruko: We both don't know what we want to be?
The homeroom teacher blinked his eyes, opened his mouth to say something but closed it again. For the first time since she met the man, he actually had nothing to say to them. It was good since she didn't want the speech about they need to think about their future, at first it was save Sasuke and bring him back home and become best Hokage, but soon when they arrive to Japan she realized it was a childish dream and being Naïve. No one wants a demon girl being Hokage.
Teacher: You know I'm surprised that one of my brightest students is saying this to me,"
her homeroom teacher finally said. Naruko and Sasuke raised her eyebrow at the middle-aged man, who snorted at her.
Teacher: Why do you look so surprise? Just because I don't like the way you disrespect the school's rules, and start fight also other stuff. doesn't mean that I don't think you are smart. You both have the third highest grade in the whole year and you don't know what to do. I really don't know what to say.
Sasuke: Sensei, are you trying to imply something?
Teacher: Bakugou wants to go to U.A High to become a superhero and the same goes for Midoriya,"
Their teacher pointed out.
Teacher: Now Bakugou's chances are high while Midoriya has a high chance in entering their general education department if he failed their hero portion of the exam. Everyone else in the class decided what they wanted to do, everyone but you and you both are someone that can go somewhere with their life.
Naruko: You are just saying that because I have one of the highest grades in the class,"
Naruto pointed out.
Naruko: Grades aren't everything.
Her homeroom teacher nodded.
I agree but you have a potential Uzumaki, Uchiha and it will be a waste for you both to ruin that potential by continuing to work full time in a cafe.
Naruko: (Chibi puff) Hey.
Teacher: And what do you do Uchiha-san?
Sasuke: I work in document management remote from a company.
Teacher: See Uchiha-san has a serious job. With his computer skills he can get to Tokyo tech
Naruko: I don't hate working in the cafe. Look not sure if I want be hero or something.
Teacher: You protected Midoriya and defended him from Bakugou...doesn't that make you want to become a hero? Or consider going to a normal high school and then become a policewoman? It is clear to me that you can't help but protect the weak, even if you try to act otherwise."
Naruto could just stare at her teacher before thinking to herself. Always thought being hero is cool and all, but sometimes hard reality hides it will strike you when you least expected. She always help other that are weak and couldn't fight back. She hates the strong bully the weak same way that konoha did to her, lying about heritage and family history and their betrayal to her. She endure hell from that place even still she shows kindness and compassion to other who remind her of herself before she was lost her humanity and herself. She couldn't help but protect the people that were weaker than her.
Naruko: I will think about applying to U.A.
If she had to choose between being a hero or a policewoman, she would rather be a hero for just one reason. Being a hero would bring her a lot less painful memories than a policewoman would.
Sasuke: I guess it wouldn't be so bad.
Naruko was surprised Sasuke words and gave him fox smile at him.
Later Naruko and Sasuke walked out of the school, their conversation with their homeroom teacher still fresh in their minds. The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the pavement as Naruko turned to Sasuke.
Naruko: Hey, Sasuke, I'll catch up with you later. Gotta grab a few things from the supermarket for dinner
Naruko said, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
Sasuke nodded, acknowledging her independence.
Sasuke: Alright, I'll head back to the apartment. See you there.
As Sasuke disappeared into the distance, Naruko pulled up the sleeve of her jacket, revealing a subtle but intricate storage seal on her wrist. With a swift motion, she activated it, summoning a sleek skateboard with a red underside and a black top adorned with a vibrant red spiral. The wind picked up, tousling her hair as she gracefully hopped onto the skateboard.
Naruko pulled out her earphones, a mischievous grin playing on her lips. As the familiar opening chords of Panic! At The Disco's "High Hopes"
began, she secured the earphones in place and hit play.
The upbeat melody immediately engulfed her senses, setting the tone for her skating adventure through the city.
(High, high hopes)
With each beat, Naruko's skateboard responded to the rhythm. The lyrics echoed in her ears, syncing perfectly with the pulse of her surroundings.
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
As she pushed off the ground, Naruko's movements were in harmony with the music. The city became her dance floor, and her skateboard was the partner leading the way.
Didn't have a dime, but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Her headphones drowned out the city noises, allowing Naruko to focus solely on the melody that propelled her forward. The song fueled her determination and added an extra layer of excitement to her journey.
Mama said
With a confident smile, Naruko approached a set of stairs. The rhythm urged her to take the leap, and she executed a flawless ollie, soaring through the air to the beat.
Fulfill the prophecy
Be something greater
The wind rushed past her, carrying the lyrics along as Naruko carved her way through the bustling streets. Onlookers couldn't help but be captivated by the sight of a girl on a skateboard, moving effortlessly to the music only she could hear.
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
High, high hopes for a living
Naruko's eyes gleamed with a sense of accomplishment as she skated toward the supermarket. The song played on, a constant companion in her personal soundtrack.
Didn't know how, but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
She slid to a stop in front of the supermarket, her skateboard obediently under her arm. The music faded as she pulled out her earphones, but the melody lingered in her mind, a reminder of the exhilarating journey she had just experienced.
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
With a satisfied smile, Naruko entered the supermarket, ready to tackle her next challenge, her high hopes still echoing in her ears. Naruko entered the supermarket, the upbeat melody of "High Hopes" still playing in her ears. The familiar tune served as a soundtrack to her shopping adventure. The aisles stretched out before her like a maze, but Naruko navigated through them with a confident swagger, each step synchronized with the rhythm of the music.
She tapped her foot to the beat as she browsed the fresh produce section, picking out vibrant vegetables and fruits. The lyrics resonated in her mind, adding a playful cadence to her actions.
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Naruko danced her way through the aisles, reaching for items with a sense of flair. Her hands moved in harmony with the music, expertly selecting ingredients for the meal she had in mind.
Always had high, high hopes
As she made her way to the dairy section, Naruko couldn't help but hum along to the chorus. Other shoppers glanced her way, some smiling at the infectious energy she exuded.
Mama said, fulfill the prophecy
Be something greater
In the frozen food section, Naruko's fingers tapped on the cart handle, creating a subtle percussion to accompany the song. She navigated through the shelves with purpose, the lyrics inspiring a sense of determination in every movement.
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
High, high hopes for a living
Naruko headed to the checkout counter, her cart filled with the ingredients for a delicious meal. The cashier looked up, catching the joyous twinkle in Naruko's eyes as she paid for her items.
Didn't know how, but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
With the last notes of the song playing, Naruko exited the store, her bags in hand. The city awaited her outside, and as the supermarket doors closed behind her, she couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Naruko continued on her way, the song fading into the background as she skated back towards the apartment, groceries in tow. The upbeat melody lingered in her mind, a cheerful companion to her journey through the city streets.
Naruko glided through the city streets, the final notes of "High Hopes" still echoing in her ears. The rhythm of her skateboard wheels against the pavement matched the beat, creating a rhythmic harmony as she approached the apartment.
As the song reached its conclusion, a sudden explosion pierced the air, causing Naruko to come to an abrupt stop. Her eyes widened as she turned toward the source of the disturbance. A plume of smoke billowed from a distance, darkening the sky.
She frowned, recognizing the telltale signs of a disturbance. Another villain attack? Seemed like just another day in the quirk society. Naruko nonchalantly shrugged, assuming it was a routine occurrence. However, her casual demeanor was interrupted when a shockwave from the explosion hit, causing people in the vicinity to stumble.
Naruko shielded her face from the gust of wind and debris, her attention drawn back to the origin of the explosion. The smoke and dust began to settle, revealing the aftermath of the impact.
Her eyes widened in disbelief as something emerged from the dust clouds. It wasn't a typical villain she'd encountered before. A creature with black skin, shark-like teeth, and a head resembling that of a hammerhead shark stood before her. Its brain was exposed, revealing unsettling eyes within.
Naruko couldn't conceal her shock. She had never seen anything like this before, and for a moment, uncertainty clouded her expression. Was this even a person? The unconventional appearance and the menacing aura suggested otherwise.
As the creature made its presence known, Naruko felt a surge of adrenaline. She tightened her grip on her skateboard, ready to face the unexpected threat that now loomed in front of her. This wasn't just another normal day; it was about to become something far more extraordinary.
to be continued...
