Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Naruko The Hanyou Kunoichi ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

Chapter 3:

Looking up to a cloudy sky Naruko makes her way to the academy.

'It's been four months since I've started going to the academy and still only Iruka-sensei allows me to remain class. Jiji did what he could but after a week they started kicking me out again,' Naruko thought with sigh.

'Winter is going to be rolling in soon, need to prepare as this winter looks like it's going to be the coldest one we've had so far,' she continued her thought while rubbing her arms trying to keep them warm on this colder than usual day.

"Kit what are you going to do about your birthday that's in two months, you know how bad it gets during that time?" Kyūbi asked knowing how bad it gets during the time of her birthday especial on the day itself.

'Honestly Kyū-chan I don't know. The normal living in the forest for a few weeks would be fine, but with this colder winter coming in and now that I'm at the academy I don't think it's going to work to well this time round.'

'I think I will go ask jiji what I should do,' she replied thinking hard on what to do this year to avoid the constant mobs that attack her home and herself.

"Don't forget to up the weights today and I think you need a new pair this pair is quite worn out, you should ask Inu for a new pair or if they can be repaired," Kyūbi informed.

'Oh right thanks Kyū-chan, hope they can be repaired I really like this set.' Naruko thanked while increasing the weight.

Over the past four months Naruko has increased the weights a total of three times including this increase.

The weights now weight 35kg for the wrists and ankle weights and 40kg for the chest weight. Her daily schedule includes of: Hunting in the morning, school to around mid-afternoon, running around the village, physical training which includes push ups, sit ups and pull ups.

For her final training she practices decreasing her transformation time, flying and changing into other forms as quickly as she can.

-At the academy-

Walking into the class Naruko notices that Sasuke is earlier than usual and can smell a lot of sadness and hatred off him.

'Wonder why he is here so early and why does he seem so different today besides the body language I can smell quite a fair bit of hatred,' Naruko wondered.

Naruko's ears twitched to the conversation that is taking place by the desk in front of Sasuke.

"Hey did you hear someone killed off the entire Uchiha clan and this guy here is the only survivor," the boy whispered to his friend.

"Really that's awful wonder how the guy feels. Do you know what happened?" the friend asked.

Naruko fading out the conversation to her thoughts she looks to the Uchiha with wide eyes and trembling slightly, 'W-w-what his clan was killed!'

'When was this, he seems fine yesterday must of happened last night,' Naruko thought sadly while Kyūbi kept his own more rude thoughts to himself.

-Later that afternoon-

Making her way to her regular training ground Naruko holds her head down thinking of the event that happened last night. During the course of the day and on her way to the training grounds she learned a lot of what happened.

She learned that Uchiha Itachi had slaughtered his entire clan only leaving his little brother alive. A lot of people didn't expect this from him though are not surprised that he was able to pull it off as his was the youngest ANBU captain the village had at the age of thirteen two years after being accepted into the ANBU corps.

The thing that was troubling Naruko the most was that she could not believe he would do such a thing. There was no way Taki-san could do such a thing, though she never knew him well enough, the fact that Inu-san and jiji trusted him to help and protect her was the main reason she doubted this.

Her thoughts come to an end when she saw Sasuke sitting on a wooden dock a few metres out above a large lake. Slowly making her way towards him she decides to see if she can help him.

Quietly sitting next to Sasuke, he notices her but pays no heed to her presence Naruko softly asked, "So do you want to talk about it?" Sasuke just looked towards her with cold dead eyes, causing Naruko to flinch slightly, before looking away.

"You shouldn't keep this to yourself you know. You don't need to tell me anything but you should speak to someone," Naruko said softly.

"Hn," Sasuke grunted.

"You not going to get anywhere with that attitude, all the more reason why I said you should speak to someone," Naruko said a little louder.

"What the hell do you know? Now if you don't have anything else to say then piss off," Sasuke quietly shot back.

"Yea you right I don't know what it's like to lose someone or a family for the simple I've never either," she calmly replied.

Sasuke turned to face Naruko with a raised eyebrow, "What do you mean by that?" he asked.

"I lost both my parents the day I was born to the Kyūbi attack and because I was born on the day Kyūbi attacked the village thinks I'm the Kyūbi reborn. They don't say it to right to me but I can hear the comments they make about me."

"As a result I'm hatred or ignored by everyone in this village. So I may not know what it's like to lose a family or a clan but on some level I can relate to the pain you feel," Naruko responded quietly. Kyūbi quietly kept to himself upon recalling the day he attacked.

Sasuke was very surprised by this though he didn't show this but he still was shocked to hear what this girl has been through. After staring at her for a few minutes he turns away from Naruko quietly going over everything that has happened in the past twenty four hours.

Getting up and slowing walking away Naruko stops facing away from Sasuke she says, "You don't have to believe me or listen to my words, you can honestly do them what you like, but at least think on them," before walking off to train.

-The next morning-

Walking into the class along with Shikamaru and Chouji, Naruko sees that Sasuke is early again today though seems calmer than yesterday. Heading towards the desk and sitting down Chouji offers Shikamaru and Naruko some chips.

Taking a few chips Naruko quietly wonders why Kyūbi hasn't said anything since yesterday morning and when she went into the seal Kyūbi was nowhere to be seen. Naruko is a little troubled as Kyūbi has the habit of making at least a few comments especially during training so the silence yesterday was a little unnerving for her.

"So is it true?" Sasuke asked.

'Hmm, ever since yesterday Sasuke has been a bit more moody, though that's expected with what happened, but even before yesterday the only times I've seen Sasuke talk is during registration or when he gets asked a question. So why is he talking and why is he talking to Naruko?' Shikamaru wonders while opening eye while he is laying he head on his arms.

"Is what true?" Naruko responds.

"Is it true, is what you said yesterday true?" Sasuke asked a little louder while still sitting and facing towards the front of the class.

'Wonder what she said yesterday to get him to talk?' the Nara thought while looking towards Naruko and continues to listen to the rare conversation between Naruko and Sasuke no less.

"That is for you to decide. I said my piece and as I said it's up to you what to make of it," Naruko replies before looking down to Shikamaru.

"What was that about?" Shikamaru asked lazily.

"Not much just some advice I gave about recent events," she replies while looking out towards the window.

"Seems to bothersome so I'll just leave it at that," Shikamaru says while closing his eyes knowing that he is not going to get any more out of her.

-During Ninjutsu class-

"So today we are going to learn the first Ninjutsu you will be learning at the academy," Iruka lectured while outside standing in front of the training posts.

"The first jutsu we will be doing this the Henge no jutsu. The Henge no jutsu uses your chakra to coat your body and chances your appearance to what it is you want to transform into. The jutsu requires three hand signs Inu, I and Hitsuji, in that order. I trust you know and have practiced all the basic hand signs?" Iruka continued with his lecture.

"I will demonstrate once then I want you to practice until class is finished," Iruka said while running through the hand signs and with a poof of smoke there stood the current Hokage, "Right, now you guys try," Iruka ordered with the Hokage's voice.

-Later that afternoon-

While punching a training post Naruko suddenly picks up two additional scents. Still punching to make it look like she hasn't noticed, she takes a few sniffs and recognises the two scents.

'That's Hinata and Sasuke. Why are they here? Looks like I will have to hold of my shape-shifting training,' Naruko thought while continuing training.

'It seems that they are just observing me. Hinata I can understand but why Sasuke?' she wondered as to why Sasuke was here. Hinata from what Naruko gathered is it's sort of an admiration thing but Sasuke she had no clue.

Her eyes suddenly widen and she starting to panic, 'How often does Hina-chan watch me like that this is the first time I have realised she is here, hope she doesn't know about my shape-shifting.' she thought was starting to get nervous and scared.

Smelling that Sasuke has left Naruko quickly disappears from sight and reappearing in front of Hinata scaring her. Hinata gasps stumbles backwards and falls.

Catching her in time before Hinata hits the ground Naruko asks, "So Hina-chan how much have you seen and how much do you know?"

Looking up to Naruko Hinata blushes furiously and stutters out something. "Sorry Hina-chan I can't hear you," Naruko says while releasing Hinata and sitting down along with her.

"I-I-I s-s-said t-t-that I've only s-s-seen you change i-i-into a-a-a fox and an e-e-eagle. As to what I-I-I know i-i-its next to n-n-nothing. I h-h-have only seen you t-t-train from afar w-w-with my Byakugan, t-t-this is the c-c-closest I been to y-y-you," Hinata stuttered nervously. She knew if she got closer she might get caught.

Naruko sighed relief, "I see, but could you please not tell anyone of my changing ability, I'm not ready to let everyone know just yet," she said well Hinata quickly nodded.

As Hinata opened her mouth and was about to ask something Naruko cut her off, "Sorry Hina-chan I won't say more you well learn in time but for now could you please not ask or saying anything about this to anyone," Naruko said softly and nervously.

Hinata nodded slowly and closed her mouth, "Thank you, you more than welcome to stay and watch if you want," Naruko said with a soft smile and giggling while standing up and going back to train.

'Really need to do something about her stuttering and lack of self-confidence; she really is just the cutest,' Naruko thought while giggling and walking up to the training post.

-Five years later-

"Oi kit, wake up!"

*loud snore*

"Wake up dammit!"

"hmmph, ramen…"

"DAMM BRAT WAKE UP ALREADY!" Kyūbi roared at Naruko trying to wake her up.

*CRASH*

"Itai! Dammit Kyū-chan that hurt!" Naruko whined while holding her head with one eye closed and a tear in the other.

"What's with the rude awakening this morning," she continued whining.

"Keh fine go back to sleep, it's not like you have the final exam today," Kyūbi said rolling his eyes before pretending to go to sleep.

"Final exam? Oh right today's the final exam," Naruko said while making her bed and heading for the shower.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"Ahhhhh! TODAY'S THE FINAL EXAM!" Naruko realised while running into the shower.

"Better hurry you only have an hour," Kyūbi warned.

Much has changed with Naruko over the past five years, the most recent change is the addition of her fourth tail to which she has partly figured out that her stamina and chakra capacity doubled but other than that she is clueless as to what else it did.

Naruko is now a 5'5 inch twelve year old girl with a well-toned body, her hair now reaches below her bottom and has the second biggest pair of breasts, next to Hinata but not by much. She is known as a stamina freak that could rival Konoha's mighty green beast as Iruka put it.

Naruko, Shikamaru and Chouji became best friends while she became good friends with Shino. Due to spending time with Hinata, Naruko managed to stop her stuttering though Hinata is still very shy and quiet.

Her relationship with Sasuke is more of a rival one where Sasuke challenges her almost twice a week. Due to this Sakura and Ino have a deep undying passion of hatred towards Naruko saying that she is the only girl that Sasuke pays attention to and is always with him even though it's only when he challenges her to a spar.

Naruko is now notorious in Konoha for the pranks she pulls and no matter who chases her they can never catch her and always disappears out of thin air earning her the name of Konoha's untouchable prankster.

This annoyed Iruka to no end having to always supervise Naruko when she has to clean up the mess she makes.

About two years ago an encounter with Iruka after a prank, caused her to not attend class for a month because of the cold hatred eyed stare he gave her. After a month Iruka changed for the better being kinder and stricter in class to her and giving the occasional ramen treat.

This greatly cheered up Naruko has she finally had an adult outside Ichiraku and the Hokage that she can trust and considers Iruka the brother she never had. Naruko also come to see Inu-san no Inu-nii as a brother as well.

'I'm very happy that I went to jiji a week ago without the help he gave me I don't think I would have been able to pass this exam,' Naruko thought about how no matter what she tried she could not do bunshin no jutsu.

-Flashback one week ago-

"Hey jiji," Naruko happily greeted while entering the Hokage's office.

"Naru-chan it's good to see you again. All is going well at the academy?" the Hokage asked, happy to see Naruko again.

"Hai jiji, though that's also why I am here. You see I'm have trouble with the bunshin no jutsu," Naruko said looking rather sad.

"I asked Iruka-sensei for help. He gave me a chakra control exercise to do in which I have to try and stick as many leaves to my body as I can with my chakra," she continued

"I'm at the point where I can cover my entire body and do my normal training and the leaves will stick during the entire time, but for the life of me I still can't do the bunshin no jutsu," Naruko said with disappointment.

"Hmmm that is rather interesting. Do you mind attempting the jutsu now so I can see where you are going wrong?" the Hokage asked wondering as well as to why Naruko is failing to do the jutsu if she can do the leaf exercise so well.

"Yea sure," Naruko replied and did the jutsu. In a poof five very pale unhealthy toppled over clones appeared around Naruko.

"The immediate problem that I can see is that you are using way too much chakra for the jutsu," the Hokage said noting that the amount of chakra used was more than enough for a high level jutsu if not too much for that as well.

"And that's the thing I'm using as little chakra as I can call upon," she said sadly looking towards the ground and dispelling the clones.

'Wow just how much chakra does she have, if that's the smallest amount then I think she might even rival a low tailed Bijū,' the Hokage thought astonished with the might of chakra she might have.

"Well if that's the case I assure that you will never be able to do that jutsu and it will only get worse as you are still growing," he said to the girl.

Naruko only got sadder, on the verge of heart breaking thinking now that she will never be able to become a ninja. Truth is it took hear almost four months to get to the level she is now with the leaf exercise. She has always struggled when it comes to chakra control.

"Now now Naru-chan no need to be sad, I've got the perfect jutsu for you," the Hokage said seeing Naruko's almost depressing mood.

Naruko instantly brightened up, her hopes building up again, her bright smile making the Hokage chuckle.

"This jutsu is called the kage bunshin no jutsu. This is normally a kinjutsu as the amount of needed will drain and kill a person who doesn't have enough chakra so be careful with this jutsu and you are forbidden to teach anyone this jutsu without my permission so you may not teach anyone."

"Do you understand?" the Hokage warned and asked, Naruko giving a quick nod.

"This is how it's done. The hand seal is a cross Tora hand sign with one hand being horizontal and the other vertical," the Hokage told while doing the hand sign and creating a single clone.

"The different between this and a normal bunshin is that it is a solid construct and not an illusion and very little control is needed. Please note that this jutsu divides your chakra evenly among you and the clones evenly," the Hokage lectured to Naruko.

"So using the same amount of chakra you used earlier use that same amount and do the new jutsu I taught you," he asked Naruko.

With a nod Naruko made the hand sign and covered the entire office with smoke, when it cleared forty Naruko clones filled the Hokage's office.

With wide eyes the Hokage looked around the room watching as all the clones Naruko made, squishing each other trying to find room and space.

'She made all these clones and that wasn't her even trying. Naruko you really are something else,' the Hokage thought with pride.

"All you need to do now is practice this till you are able to make a single clone", he said earning a nod and wave from Naruko before she bolted out the office.

"Thanks jiji I owe you one," Naruko shouted running out to go and practise the new jutsu she just learned.

-Flashback end-

'The best part about the kage bunshin is that my clones can also shape-shift like I can though they can only hold the form for half the time I can. So that should be about two days. I also learnt how to do the jutsu with a one-handed seal,' Naruko thought while running into the class and seeing Iruka walking to down the steps to the front of the class.

"Cutting it close there. Oversleep or something," Shikamaru said with a laugh,

"Yea overslept glad I got here in time," Naruko sighed while sitting down waiting to hear what the final exam is going to consist of.

"So as you know today is the final exam which will determine if you graduate from the academy those that fail will have to wait a year before reattempting the exam," Iruka lectured with a smile.

"The exam will consist of three parts: theory exam, practical exam and a Ninjutsu exam. You must get full marks for the Ninjutsu part to pass regardless of what you get for the first two parts."

"Getting full marks for the Ninjutsu part doesn't mean that you will definitely graduate," Iruka said while handing out the paper exam face down.

"Good luck! You may start," Iruka announced starting the exam.

-Three hours later-

"Right, now that the theory and practical part are done we will start the Ninjutsu part. If your name is called please follow me to the next room to conduct the exam. If your name is not called that means you do not have enough marks to graduate even if you pass the Ninjutsu part," Iruka explained.

"Aburame Shino!"

"Hai!"

"Good please follow me," Iruka said while walking out the class.

An hour later…

"Uzumaki Naruko!"

"Yosh, let's kill this!" Naruko exclaimed.

"Right please follow me," Iruka said while walking out the class.

Following Iruka into the next room when she sees her two other senseis sitting behind a desk. Mizuki giving her a hard cold stare as she walks in.

"Right Naruko please perform the henge no jutsu, kawarimi no jutsu and the bunshin no jutsu," asked Iruka.

"Hai!" Naruko responded.

Naruko changed into a perfect replica of Iruka after which she switched positions with chair that was next to hear and dispelled henge no jutsu. Iruka nodded with a smile before writing down her mark.

"And the bunshin no jutsu please," Iruka asked hoping she could pull it off knowing how she battled with this jutsu.

"Um sensei I can't do the bunshin no jutsu, jiji even said that it's impossible for me to use it because of the amount of chakra I have," Naruko said while rubbing the back of her head with a small smile.

Mizuki grinned at this, 'Now hopefully his everything will go as planned,' his grin only getting wider at this thought.

"Well I sorry to hear that, if that's the case then I have to fail you," Iruka said sadly though surprised to hear that having too much chakra is a reason for not being able to do a jutsu.

"Don't be sensei. Is it alright if I do another type of bunshin?" Naruko asked making Mizuki scowl.

"Why yes if you are able to then please make at least three, you might even get extra points for it," Iruka said happily.

Naruko nodded and made a half tiger seal and called out," Kage bunshin no jutsu," and three kage bunshins appeared.

"Well done on the jutsu but Naruko how did you learn this, you do know that this is a kinjutsu?" Iruka asked with a raised eyebrow hoping that this doesn't cause any trouble.

"Hai, I know that it's a kinjutsu. The one who taught me this was jiji," Naruko said happily.

Iruka signed in relief, "Well then it's fine and all I have to say is well done you pass and welcome to the ninja life, genin," Iruka said with a smile full of pride while handing Naruko a blue headband with a metal piece with Konohagakure's symbol on it.

Naruko run to Iruka and hugged him, who happily hugged back, after taking the headband on tying it on her right arm close to her shoulder.

Naruko bolted out the room and into the class and from where Iruka was he could clearly her Naruko shout, "I am Uzumaki Naruko remember it and remember it well for I am Konoha's future's best Hokage dattebayo." Iruka shaking his head with a smile left the room to get the last student.

Few minutes later Iruka walking into the class with a happy looking Ino.

"I would like to say well done to everyone and that no one failed. I will be expecting this generation to do great things. For now you have a week's break before team placements will be announced."

"So please return next week to this classroom normal school time. Until then you are dismissed," Iruka said with pride.

-Later that evening-

Soaked from sweat, breathing heavily Naruko sat under a tree from a hard day of training, "This is *pant* most I have done *pant* in *pant* one go, then again it is the most *pant* time I have in a day to train like *pant* this. Going to be a hard week," Naruko said between breaths to herself.

"It's getting late, the sun is almost down," she said noticing that it's getting dark quickly.

*Sniff*

*Sniff* *Sniff*

'What the, that's blood,' Naruko thought while sniffing the air and running to where it's coming from.

*Sniff* *Sniff*

'That's Iruka-sensei and Mizuki-sensei,' Naruko thought while changing into a fox and increasing her speed to max.

-Old training ground clearing-

Naruko arriving just in time, to see Iruka-sensei getting pinned to a small old building by several kunais, comes skidding to a halt.

"Teme what the hell do you think you are doing?" Iruka shouted in pain.

"Why just delivering a special package to Orochimaru-sama," Mizuki said with a grin while dropping down from a branch while holding a fūma shuriken and slowly walking towards Iruka.

Seeing Mizuki drawing back his right hand preparing to throw the oversized shuriken, Naruko quickly makes a kage bunshin while the real Naruko shape-shifts into a kunai. The clone throws the kunai wedging it in the ground between Mizuki's feet stopping him dead in his tracks. As soon as the clone through the kunai it dispelled.

"What the, who's there?" Mizuki asked looking in the direction of where the kunai came from but finding no one. Even Iruka was confused as to who through the weapon.

Using the distraction, Naruko shape-shifted back into her human form in a crouching position facing Mizuki. Using all her strength that she had left from training all afternoon Naruko jumped bringing her right knee up and kneed Mizuki in the chin lifting him up high into the air.

Finishing off Naruko turned a full 360 before she extended her right foot kicking Mizuki in his chest sending him crashing into the tree behind him and toppling it over on top of him. Landing quietly Naruko growled before turning to see if Iruka is ok.

"Iruka-sensei are you ok? And what's going on here and why is Mizuka-teme attacking you?" Naruko asked trying to figure out what's going on.

"N-n-naruko? I'm fine and Mizuki stole a forbidden scroll from the Hokage's office," Iruka replied confused as to where Naruko came from.

"You mean this big thing?" Naruko asked picking up the scroll next to the unconscious Mizuki.

"Yes. What about that teme underneath tree?" Iruka asked.

Pulling out the kunais from Iruka and setting him down Naruko replied, "He's just unconscious, though I did feel a few bones cracking when I kicked him earlier."

"So Naruko where did you come from and why didn't we sense you dispelling the henge? Good job on using the henge to disguise yourself as a kunai," Iruka said impressed.

"Well earlier I smelled blood and followed it here where I saw you being attacked. The reason for not sensing me is because it's not a henge it's my shape-shifting ability," Naruko said sheepishly while rubbing the back of her head.

"Shape-shifting?" asked a confused Iruka.

"Yea shape-shifting," Naruko repeated while changing into Iruka and back to her normal form.

Iruka just stood there mouth wide open. Quickly re-composing himself Iruka asked, "Right. So do you want to get some ramen after we report to the Hokage?"

"Yatta, Thank you Iruka-sensei. Let's go then what are you waiting for?" Naruko replied happily while jump up and down making her way back to the village.

Laughing while shaking his head he followed Naruko dragging a tied up Mizuki and scroll.

-At Ichiruka's Ramen-

During the meeting with the Hokage Naruko and Iruka got the funds for a b-rank mission while thanking Naruko for saving Iruka and bring back both the scroll and the traitor.

"Thanks Iruka-sensei!" Naruko thanked him for the ramen.

"Pleasure, but it should be I that needs to thank you. You saved my life back there so thank you Naruko you did really well," Iruka proudly thanked her while paying for the ramen.

"Naruko your life from now on will only get harder and more difficult so make sure to train hard and keep your head about you," Iruka advised while walking out the stand with Naruko.

"Hai, I will always give my all. You can count on me!" Naruko said with a grin.

-The next day-

Sitting in the Hokage's office Naruko was getting rather impatient. She had been sitting here for half an hour waiting while they completed the forms required to be a full-fledged ninja.

With a drop of blood running down his nose the Hokage looked at the picture Naruko had taken for her ID. The picture was of her biting her finger and winking her eye with for fox ear's fully visible.

"Naruko are you sure you want this picture? This is a very important part of becoming a ninja once this is done it can't be redone," he asked making sure it's what Naruko wanted.

Before she could answer the door to the office open slightly with a kunai sticking though. Naruko reacting on instinct appeared by the door before the door could open anymore. Pulling the door open and grabbing the person and throwing them into the room making said person to land on the floor face first.

Before the person could move Naruko pounced on the assailant and using one of her tails to binding their hands behind their back while another pinned their head to the ground. Naruko ended the move with placing her left foot on the person's back keeping him from getting up.

The pinned person turned their head to the side to see who the hell pinned them only to meet hard cold eyes staring into their own. A cold shiver ran down their spine while the assailant started to sweat fearing for their life.

"Naruko let him go he means no harm, though I hope this will stop future ambushes right Konohamaru-kun?" the Hokage sighed at the endless amounts of 'ambushes' he had.

"Hai jiji, just get this lunatic off me," Konohamaru cried while trying to break free.

"Jiji?" Naruko asked while releasing Konohamaru.

Taking another look she finally notices that Konoharmaru is no more than six to seven year old kid.

"Yes the old man there is my grandfather, didn't you know this? Do you live under a rock or something?" the boy said while point to his grandfather.

Naruko's eye twitched furiously. 'Oh boy,' thought the Hokage seeing Naruko's eye twitch.

"BAKA!" Naruko shouted while hitting the boy on the head knocking him back down to the ground.

'What the she actually hit me even after knowing who I am,' Konohamaru thought while rubbing his head and standing back up.

"What the hell do you think you're doing? You lucky that it was me, anyone else would have not been so forgiving. And I do not live under a rock, it's a tree sometimes" Naruko shouted back glaring at the brat but mumbling the last part.

Before Konohamaru could say anything a man wearing spectacles, a bandanna with the village's symbol on it with a long black sleeved shirt and black long pants with black shinobi sandals, came running into the room.

"Honourable grandson!" shouted the man.

"Ebisu-sensei," Konohamaru replied.

Ebisu looked at Naruko with cold eyes, "Honourable grandson, what are you doing here especially with that person?" he asked in an emotionless voice.

Naruko not paying mind to the insult left the room knowing that her business here is done. "Cheers jiji," she said walking out the door.

Half an hour later…

'Is this kid going to follow me the whole time now,' Naruko wondered half annoyed.

"Oi chibi come on out I know you have been following me since I left jiji's office" Naruko said tapping her foot while folding her arms.

Dropping the cloth disguise Konohamaru shouted to Naruko," Oi don't call me that!" Which only earned a grin of her.

"That's what I expect of boss, being able to detect me from so early on," Konohamaru said with a grin point towards his 'boss'.

"Boss?" Naruko asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, so now that you're my boss train me," he stated.

"You want me to train you?" Naruko asked. Konohamaru quickly nodded back.

"I won't train you until you can run five laps around this village," Naruko said firmly.

And so Konohamaru saluted and started heading to the village outskirts to do as told.

"Wow he didn't complain, I honestly expected him to moan and groan or something not just salute and leave," Naruko deadpan a bit unimpressed and impressed at the same time at the lack of complaint.

-Later that night in the seal-

"Hey Kyū-chan I finally become a full-fledged ninja documents and all," Naruko said happily while walking into the cage and sitting against the laying fox.

"Well done kit, though you did hold back a lot during the practical part of the exam," Kyūbi congratulated her.

"I didn't want to show my full strength and besides that could have killed someone seeing as they made us fight each other," she replied.

"True. Do you remember the question you asked wanting to know my name?" Kyūbi asked while looking down to Naruko.

Naruko looked back at Kyūbi and raised an eyebrow before nodding slowly and slowly saying, "Yes, I do."

"I am willing to tell you what it is if you still wish to know," Kyūbi said.

Knowing that this is a sign of friendship and trust as demons only give names to those who they deem worthy and trust. Naruko smiled brightly with her tails waved happily in random directions.

"Yes please, I still do wish to know your name," Naruko said in loving voice.

Kyūbi sat up facing towards Naruko and smiled while holding a fist down to her," Name's Kurama and just so you know you are the second human, or rather first hanyou to know my name," Kyūbi said with a grin.

Making a fist and connecting it with Kurama's Naruko smiles while a tear runs down her eye. "Thank you Kurama this means a lot to me," Naruko thanked softly.

"Go on get some rest you have a hard week ahead of you and starting tomorrow you are going to increase the weights to 65kg including the wrist and ankle weights." Kurama said with an evil grin at the training he is going to put her through.

A slightly pale Naruko left the seal, the grin down right scaring her.
