What If Female Itachi Obsessed With Naruto||

What's up everyone? How are you all? Today we are back with another blazing Narut story. What if female Itachi obsessed with Nar. If you enjoy then please like, share and do comments. And also check the description to Origal creator of this beautiful creation. Naru woke up in the same windowless room she had been in for the last two weeks and quite frankly she was getting bored. After the first 5 days of waiting for her demise, she figured it was going to be a while and decided that a break from the perve and his unending comments of how nicely she had filled out in the last year. She was no longer scrawny with a boyish figure. She was 5' 4 in with nice curves and a Bcup. Her honey blonde hair with red highlights now reached to the bottom of her butt, so she normally braided or wore it in a high ponytail. She wore an orange bralike shirt that stopped just under her ass and showed her abs over a black mesh armor top. She also had on short, tight fitting black shorts with an orange strip on the side that stopped just past her ass. She had changed from her orange jumpsuit about 6 months ago when she learned to control the third tail worth of fox chakra because it raised her body temperature so that she could stand in the middle of a blizzard without freezing. Just then, the door to her room opened, pulling her out of her thoughts. Oh, if it isn't my silent caretaker, she said looking at the man in her doorway. So, are you going to speak to me today? The man was about 6'2" in with long black hair pulled into a ponytail at the base of his neck. His name Uchiha Itachi, and he was her assigned caretaker for the time. He came in and set a tray of food in front of her, then headed for the door. "I had to leave for a mission with my partner, so after your meal, you are changing rooms to be closer to your temporary caretaker, so don't try anything." he said in a velvety voice that sent unexplained shivers down her spine. "How long will you be gone and who is watching me?" Naru asked out of curiosity. "3 days." Her name's Conan, Itachi replied, then left. Naru ate and thought about how she even ended up in this situation. Flashback start. Naru was lying in the middle of the clearing she and Aerosen were using as a training ground. It was a day like any other. They woke up at sunrise in their hotel ate breakfast. Then her and Aeros Sennin worked on her fu and jutsu until lunchtime. Her goal was to be a fuenjutsu master by the time she got home. And at the rate she was going and how easy it was for her, that was one goal she was going to reach. Now is only convincing te to come home was as easy as fujutsu. Damn stubborn bastard, she thought. After lunch, they headed to the clearing outside of town to practice taijutsu. Aeros Sen was teaching her two styles. One was an Uzumaki clan style. She actually came from a very prestigious but extinct clan which she found hilariously ironic when Aeros Sen told her. She, the Caillou vessel and outcast of Konaha, belonged to one of the strongest and oldest clans of the elemental continent. Too bad their pacifist ideals lead to their downfall. But at least Aeros Sen told her what he knew of her heritage. It was primarily a defensive style and worked well with kenjutsu which was something Aeros Sennin was also teaching her. The other style was the fourth's personal taijutsu style. It was offensive and also focused on speed. She was rather ecstatic when she found that out. Flashback in a flashback. P. Okay. Naru proficient in the Uzumaki style which is defensive. But Aeros Sen said you more of a just jump in and attack kind of person. So I have decided you should also learn an offensive style. Okay, what do I got to do? Naru asked excitedly. Well, there is one problem. Aeros Sen said it is in gerally a hard thing. It combines two styles of Taiutsu and it will be even harder to find an offensive one that will go with the Uzumaki style. So are you saying it's impossible to combine the two styles? Ner asked Crestfallen. No, not impossible, he replied. But you will have to teach yourself the style I chose because it is a style only the fourth could use. But I have a feeling you can use his style. Really? Naru asked. You think I'm good enough to use the fourth style? That's awesome. Yes, I think you are the only one alive that can master his style. Arrow Sen said with a grin. These are the scrolls where the fourth wrote down his personal taijutsu style. Read them then we can practice. I also believe it's the style that goes best with your clan taijutsu. End flashback in a flashback. Arrow Sen said it would work great with the Uzumaki style if she could figure out how to combine them, which in the six months of practice, she felt she did real well. After they had practiced taijutsu for a couple hours, Aeros Sennin went back to town to do some research, leaving Naru to her own devices. This meant she was allowed to practice what she wanted. So she spent an hour going through her kenjutsu catis, then spend 4 hours practicing njutsu from the scrolls she had received from Aerosin. After that, it was about time to head to the village for dinner. However, on this particular day, she had overused her chakra and was lying on the ground exhausted. She figured if she just lay there for a while, she would get enough energy to drag herself to town. Besides, if she didn't show up, Aerosin would notice and come looking for her. However, to today, Cammy decided to be a [ __ ] And while she was too weak to get up, she felt two people show up in the clearing. "Hey, it san, isn't that the Kaobi brat?" She heard a harsh voice say, causing her eyes to snap open in horror. "Shit, I'm too weak to fight back. I am so screwed." Naru tried get up, but her body was too exhausted. Hei looks like she's too exhausted to fight back. Should we take this chances to capture her? Leader Sama would be upset if we missed this chance. A velvety voice that sent shivers down her spine responded from rather close to her. She turned her head and saw Uchiha Itachi standing five feet to her right with a tall blue man. She thought his name might be Kisame. She wasn't sure. She only met him that one time when she and Arrow Sen went to find Ba Chan standing a few feet behind him. Hello Naru Chan. It would seem today is not your best day. Next thing she saw Itachi had activated his sharing and the world went black. When she woke up, she was in a dark room with no window when suddenly a door opened and Itachi walked in with a tray of food. How long have I been asleep? And where am I? Naru asked, trying to keep her voice even. 2 days, the Akatsuki base in grass country. You stay with us until you're needed. Itachi replied, and once again, Naru felt a shiver travel down her spine. He must have seen the thoughtful look on her face because he spoke again. I would not think of trying to escape. Your chakra has been sealed away. With that, he left the room after lighting a lantern on the stand in the corner of the room. He would come three times a day with food, but he never spoke to her. The opening of the door pulled her from her memories. Itachi walked over and took the tray from in front of her. "Follow me," he said as he left. Naru got up and followed him out of the room. He led her to some stairs at the end of the hallway. They went up a flight of stairs and through a door. It led to what appeared to be a living room with some couches, a coffee table, and a television. They left the living room and headed down the hall to the kitchen where Itachi left the tray before turning back down the hall toward another door. The door led to more stairs, which they headed up. After going up four flights of stairs, they exited the stairwell. Itachi led her to a door and knocked. Soon, a woman with blue hair answer. "It's about time, Itachi." The woman said, "She is to be placed in the room next to mine." Itachi nodded and Naru entered the room of the door he opened. This room had a comfy looking bed, two windows, and a light switch which meant electricity. She walked into the bathroom and looked around. Not only was there a working toilet, but a sink and a shower. Well, that settles it. I am bugging that woman until she gives me clothes because I am taking a shower. She walked out of the bathroom and was shocked to see Tachi standing there. Do you still have my things? Naru asked. Hn. After spending so much time with Sasake, she could tell it was a positive answer. "Could I have my things brought to me?" she asked. Itachi just turned and walked out the door. So Naru sat at the foot of the bed and waited. About a half hour later, the blue-haired woman walked in with Naru<unk>'s things and handed them to her. "Thank you," Naru said, then got up and put her canny holster on the nightstand. Opening her hip holster, she started pulling out ceiling scrolls. Finding the scroll she was looking for, she handed to the woman. "Your name is Conan, right?" "Yes, why?" Conan replied. "So I'm not saying hey you all the time," Naru said with a smile. "Can you open that for me? I would, but I don't have access to my chakra." Conan put the scroll on the foot of the bed and opened it. Inside was Naru clothes. Thanks, Naru grabbed some clothes and headed for the bathroom before she paused. If you want to wait 20 minutes, I can give you some of the things I am not going to need, seeing as I'm a prisoner. 20 minutes later, Naru came out of the bathroom feeling clean and refreshed to find Conan sitting on her new bed deep in thought. When she noticed Naru, she glared at her. If you think good behavior will get you a way out, you're wrong. Conan stated. Not at all, Naru replied. But I figure we can all still be civil with each other, seeing as you're the last people I'm going to see. Now, how about we go through my stuff? Why? Conan asked. Because some of my things may be of use, though there are some things I will keep with me until Kaubi is extracted from me for whatever it is you guys have planned. How do you know that's what we are going to do? Conan asked sharply. I've had lots of time to think over the last week, Naru said as she handed Conan a couple scrolls. Here you can probably put these ones to use. Two are some of my spare weapons. Three of them are food. As long as it stays in the scroll, it won't spoil. And the last one is half of my money. Why not just give us everything? Conan asked. If I did that, I would be giving up and I never give up. So instead, I'll just help out. Naru said with a smile. I understand, Conan said. Care to tell me what you think the Akatsuki is doing? Sure, Naru said sitting on the bed. The most logical thing I can think of is that you are going to extract the beast from the Genturiki and place them in shinobi loyal to your group or possibly even your members, seeing as genturi are a nation's strength. So if the Akatsuki have all the tailed beasts, they have all the power. Would that make more sense if we just convinced them to join us? Conan countered tried to figure out how Naru thought that would be impossible seeing each Genturi is loyal to their village or country because no matter how bad we have been treated by the village as a whole, we still have our precious people to protect and will do anything to protect them. Naru said with conviction, "You are definitely different from the average ninja." Conan said. Some people called me the number on unpredictable knucklehead ninja. But honestly, I just as predictable as anyone else, Naru said with a huge smile. The two sat up having some idol chatter. Few a few more moments until Conan got up saying she had things she must attend to. The next 3 days f by pretty quickly. Conan would bring breakfast at about 8:00 a.m. Then after breakfast, Naru had taken to trying to get the Kaobi to open and be a little more friendly, which didn't start off so well, seeing as the Kaobi had reached its tail through the bars of its cage, which caught unaware, so she got hit. Flashback. Hey, Kaobi. Naru said, "Go away, human." Caillou growled. Next thing, she a big reddish orange fluffy tail reached though the bars and slammed into her, knocking her across the chamber. "Ouch! What was that for? Naru shouted. I thought you couldn't leave that cage. Each time you use my power, the seal loosens. Caillou said in a deep voice. Now leave. I have better things to do then speak to some lesser species. Sure you do. But I can take a hint I'll be back later and maybe you'll be in a friendlier mood. Naru said as she left her mindscape. Conan would bring her lunch at noon and they would have some idol chatter until Conan would leave to go about her duties and Naru would try with Caillou again. Dinner would be brought at 6:00. It wasn't until her fifth or sixth try in two days that she sort of got somewhere. Flashback. Hey Cailly, how's it going? Naru asked as she entered her mindscape. GR was the only reply. Come on, done be like that. Naru said, can we be friends or at least get along? You are stuck with me until I die. I will not lower myself to associate with a rude brat who does not have the common courtesy to ask my name. Caillou growled out. I thought Cailloubi was your name, you know, kind like how Gar<unk>s beast is called Shukaku. Naru said, rubbing the back of her head. Caillou is my title, just as Shukaku's as Ichibi. Caillou said in his growl Y voice. Oh, okay. So, what is your name? Naru asked now genuinely curious. If you had asked on your own, I may have told you, but now you must prove to me you have the right to know. We Buju do not tell just anyone own names. Caillou replied. Ah, come on. Everyone knows Shukaku's name. Naru pouted. That is because Shukaku has always been an arrogant fool. Learning my name is a privilege. Caillou said, "Okay, okay, so I got to earn the right to your name." Naru said, "So, how do I do that? Figure that on your own." Caillou replied, "Okay, fine." Naru said, "So, why don't you tell me other things about you I don't know. You can't be all death and destruction. You have to have some other likes and dislikes. I am tired and done talking for now, Caillou said turning away. But Naru thought she saw a smirk on his muzzle. Okay, later. Caillou, Naru said as she left. Right now, it would be dinner time on the third day of Itachi's mission, and Naru was wondering when he would get back and if she would have to go back to what she assumed was the seller. Of course, 6:00 p.m. on the dot. Her door opened and in walked none other than Itachi. Oh, Itachi, I didn't know you were back. Conan never said when you would arrive, so assumed it won't<unk> be until later. Naru said in surprise, "Does this mean I have to go back to the cellar or could I stay in this room?" "My room is down the hall, so I see no reason why you can't stay in this room as long as you behave," Itachi replied as he set the tray of food down. "You knew if you keep treating me like I'm five instead of 15, I will start calling you by a cute pet name like a real little kid would." Naru said with a pout, "I know I'll call you Ida knee. Other than a slight twitch of his right eyebrow, he showed no response to her comment as he turned around and left the room. However, as soon as he left, she ended up laughing so hard at the fact she had just gotten under his skin. She also realized that even though he had killed his whole clan single-handedly, he had just shown he still had that insufferable Uchiha pride. For the rest of the week, she just observed Itachi. She still tried to start a conversation whenever he brought her food, or she would ask him for stuff to read to fill the hours when she was alone. She soon realized he was not what she expected from an S-rank criminal that murdered his whole clan in cold blood. She accepted him to be antisocial and brooding like Sasake, maybe even a little bloodthirsty. But instead, he was just the quiet type that was awkward around people, just like Gar after he got Shukaku under control. She could also see in his eyes when he would make eye contact that he was lonely and full of regret. She really was curious how someone who was obviously not the psychotic kill your family and taunt your broth art type could do what he could even be accused let alone admitted to such a horrendous crime. After just watching him, she decided she was going to try and get him to speak to her. It was noon and Naru was sitting on the bed in her room for Itachi to bring her lunch, but she does have to wait long as Itachi soon arrived. Itachi? Naru asked as he entered with the tray. Hn was the reply she got. Was wondering if maybe you could stay while I ate lunch. Naru asked. She saw him lift his right brow in question. You don't have to say anything if you stay. I just don't like eating alone. Itachi sat on the other side of the bed and with nothing else to do, he laid down and rested for a while. Naru started to ramble about her lonely childhood as she ate. She soon noticed Itachi had fallen asleep. So, she just finished her lunch and sat there watching him sleep. He looked so peaceful and she didn't really want to wake him. She had a feeling that a peaceful night's sleep was hard to come by when you were constantly surrounded by unstable S-rank criminals. She was about to reach over and wake him up when there was an explosion that shook the whole building, which caused Itachi to wake up. What was that, Itachi? Naru asked worried. Don't worry, Naru. I have a feeling it was just Dera. Itachi said and Naru saw his eye open infinitesimally and a confused look cross his face. Why am I soothing her worry and when did I fall asleep? He thought you were only asleep for about a half hour. I was about to wake you up when that explosion happened. Naru said hn. Itachi said well that answers one question. He got up, grabbed the tray and headed for the door. Itachi could you eat dinner with me as well? Naru asked. I really like the company. HN and Itachi left. So Naru decided to talk to Caillou again. Naru had been officially been the Akatsuki's prisoner for 5 weeks and she had to admit it wasn't all bad. For the last two weeks, he thought she had been taking meals with her. During that time, she had regailed him with all sorts of stories about her life in the village before she left to train with Jeriah. She had started with pranks she played during the academy to how she beat Mizuki to the mission in the land of waves. And how her and Sasake competed so hard in the tree climbing exercise that they both ended up collapsing with exhaustion. And how she saved Sasake from Hiku to fighting Orochimaru during the Chunin exam to getting Sununade Bachan to return to the village to be the Hokag and how she fought Sasuke at the Valley of the End to try and stop him from going to Orochimaru. He seemed genuinely upset when he heard how Sasake went so far as to shove his chidori through her chest in his quest for power. She however liked it better when he smiled at her stories. His rare smiles would cause her heart to clench with unfamiliar feeling. And the one time she made him laugh, her breathes stopped at the rich sound. Flashback. They were sitting on Naru's bed. They had just finished eating lunch and Naru was still talking about her tunin exam. So once everyone was gathered in this ginormous arena in the tower, they told us about how the third part of the exam was individual tournaments. Remember how I told you Orochimaru had bitten Sasake? Well, Sakura being a big Sasuke fan girl was worried and told him to drop out and just try next time. However, he was bent on proving was the strongest stubborn bastard. I swear most of the time I think he just used needed to beat you as a way to inflate his ego. Not that it could get any bigger. Anyway, he fought and won. Of course, Sakura tied in her fight with Ino Yamanaka. Me while I was fighting against Ka in Isuka, and I swear he was louder than me. Anyway, we fought and were pretty evenly matched, which I pretty amazing if you ask me cuz to be honest, Kakashi sensei never really trained me that much. It was always more like he was an overprotective big brother trying to protect me from anything harsh. So all the moves I used are things I had seen others do and I just kind of throw them together. So eventually Ka and Akamaru, his Nin Ken, took a food pill which increased their power and senses. Though I didn't know about the senses part. Anyway, I was starting to run low on chakra because I hadn't recovered my chakra from my fight with Pedo Snake. My plan was to gather the last off my chakra and create as many shadow clones as possible and pummel the hell out of Ka. Now this is where it gets embarrassing. KBA was right behind me as I was straining to gather enough chakra when I suddenly fart. At this point, Naru was so red. Anyway, Ka ended up passing out from sensory overrode. As Naru looked at, she saw his shoulders were shaking with the laughter he was trying to contain. Uchiha Itachi. It is not funny. I think that is the most embarrassing moment of my life. Naru said indignantly with an embarrassed pout. It was that look that caused to finally lose control and laugh out loud. It was the greatest sound Naru had ever heard in her in her life. Where his voice was velvety smooth when he spoke, his laugh was rich and kind of roguish. It sent a warm feeling she had never experienced to her abdomen and stopped her breathe. The sound was just so mesmerizing she couldn't help but want to hear it again. It was almost lunchtime and Naru was waiting for Itachi to show up. Starting today, it was his turn to spill about his past and she was not taking no for an answer. Finally, Itachi showed up with lunch. They started eating and Naru looked at him expectantly. "Hn, don't monoyllable me. It's<unk> your turn to tell stories." Naru said with a playful glare, "What do you want to know, Naru?" Itachi asked, "What was like to grow up in such a prestigious clan? Was being a clan heir difficult? Who were your friends growing up? Was it hard to be a prodigy? What did you do for fun? Naru said excitedly. I want to know everything about you. Itachi smirked as he started to tell Naru everything there was to know about him. Naru had now been a captive for about 7 weeks. As great as being away from the perve was she knew she would have to find a way to leave. Over the last month she had gotten so that she and Kaobi were on more friendly terms. They had come to the agreement which was that the only time Naru would use Caillou's chakra with his permission. And she had that as long as she treated him with the same respect she would give any other intelligent being. As the Cailly was more than a mass of destructive chakra and had feelings and opinion just like anyone else. For the last two weeks, the Kaobi had been working on cancelelling out the chakra suppression seal that had been placed on Naru. After two weeks of constant work, the seal was almost cancelled. Another day or two and Naru would have full access to hers and Kaub's chakra and be able to escape from the Akatsuki. For the last week and a half, Naru had been allowed to leave her room and roam around the Akatsuki base. So, right now, Naru was currently in the library that was rarely used by anyone, but it was even less likely she would run into anyone because Itachi said everyone was being called to the main base. Not that he would say where that was. The only ones still at this base were Itachi, his partner Kism, a plant-l lookinging guy called Zetssu. Zetsu's follower, some weird guy in an awesome orange mask, which Naru had trying to get the guy to give her. She thought his name might be Toby because he was always saying Toby is a good boy and of course herself. Zetsu and his follower were leaving for headquarters in the morning once again, unless info provided by Itachi. Looking at the clock on the wall, Naru decided it was time to go meet Itachi in the kitchen for lunch. It had become their new habit to eat lunch in the kitchen. Then they go for a walk and he thought she will tell her all about himself. With how somber he was getting yesterday, she could tell they were getting close to the massacre and she had a gut feeling that the massacre was not what it seemed. She could only hope he would tell here the truth. Arriving in the kitchen, she greeted Itachi with a big smile before she noticed that Kisame was in the kitchen as well. "Hello, Kisame San, are you going to join Tachi and myself for lunch?" Naru asked, "Is that an invitation?" Kiss asked learing. Cuz I ain't one to turn down a pretty girl. Kiss. Itachi growled a warning at his partner. Don't worry, Tachi. Every girl loves a compliment. It does wonders for our ego and our confidence. Naru said with a big smile. She saw him relax slightly, but he was still too uptight when others were around for her liking. She liked it better when it was just the two of them away from anyone else, and he was relaxed while as relaxed as a shinobi could ever get. So, what is that delicious smell? Please tell me that it's lunch. She was trying to relieve some of the tension that had built up in the room. She didn't want a repeat of last week's incident. Flashback. Naru was just roaming around the base, seeing as her reward for being such a good little prisoner was that she was now allowed out of her room and if she asked it was even willing to let go for walks outside if he was with her. So, Naru had decided she would go check out their library. On the way there, she ran into a man with sllicked back silver hair and purple eyes. He was muttering to himself. So Naru tried to shrink against the wall and make herself invisible as he passed her. Unfortunately, he noticed her. So one second he was muttering to himself and the next she found herself pressed against the wall. Well, if it isn't the little genturiki [ __ ] Itachi has taken an interest in. He said, "I wonder what he would do if I took a turn. You must be good to get a response from that heartless bastard." L let MG go. Naru tried to sound firm, but she [ __ ] stuttered. You're our prisoner, you little [ __ ] That mean if we decide we need a little release, you will be the good little [ __ ] you are. The guy said at his words, she struggled to get loose, but without her chakra to help increase her strength, she was helpless. She felt his free hand roam up her side and cup her. She felt tears well up in her eyes and opened her mouth to scream, but next thing she knew, his tongue invaded her mouth. She felt the tears leak out her eyes and struggled, but he just tightened his grip and she whimpered in pain. Suddenly, he was pulled off of her. She turned to see who her savvoir was. Itachi was a seriously pissed off. The look on his face was a promise of death to whoever crossed him. Yet, instead of fear, all she felt was a sense of relief and a weird fluttering in her stomach. What the hell? The man on the floor as he stood, he froze for a second when he saw the look on Itachi face. Oh, so itachi came to save his lil [ __ ] Hedan leader sama specifically said that the nine tales genturiki was not to be harmed in any way. Itachi said each word was laced with enough key to make an elite junin [ __ ] brick leader sama also said anyone dumb enough to go against his orders was to be punished. So when only the great [ __ ] uchiha is allowed to touch the [ __ ] Talk about special treatment. Hedan said with a sneer. I wonder how that pompous ass of a leader would react if he thought you were [ __ ] the [ __ ] I guess we<unk>ll find out soon, won't we? Itachi said harshly as his sharing shifted from three spinning tomos to what looked like a three-sided shuriken. Once he met Hedon's eye, his body went rigid, then fell to the ground in a heap. "Is he dead?" Naru asked hopefully. "Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to do that," Itachi said, relaxing. He is only in a nightmare of his own making for the next 48 hours. Itachi looked and saw her nod and understanding. He also saw she was pretty shaken. Why don't you go back to your room? It's<unk> late and you are going into shock. I'll check on you after I take care of this. Naru nodded once again and headed back to her room. An hour and a half later, Itachi showed up at Naru<unk>s room and knocked before entering. He walked in and saw her sitting on her bed. Her hair was still damp and from what he could see of her skin, it looked as if she had tried to scrub her skin off as her normally bronze color skin had an irritated red tint to it. "How are you feeling, Naru?" Itachi asked quietly as he took off his cloak and sat down next to her. Suddenly, Naru latched onto his blue t-shirt and balled her eyes out. So, he just wrapped his arms around her in a comforting hug until she quieted down. "Thank you," Naru mumbled into his shirt before raising her head. I'm sorry I didn't arrive sooner," he replied. "Me, too. I can still feel him. No matter how much I clean myself, I still feel dirty." Naru whispered, looking incredibly vulnerable. Next thing she knew, Itachi's lips were on hers, causing her to gasp in surprise. He took advantage of that and slid his tongue into her mouth. Too soon, they had to part for air and sat there for a moment, gasping for air before Naru found her voice. "Thati, what was that?" Naru asked, confused. Just hoping you forget his touch, he replied with a trademark Uiha smirk. Did it work? A little, she answered with a small smile. I'll just have to try harder, he said as he captured her lips in another kiss. This time he pressed her down onto the bed and guided her up so her head was resting on the pillows. Once she was comfortably situated, his hands mapped out the contours of her body as they roamed her sides. He pulled his lips form hers, causing her to whimper at the loss of contact as he repositioned himself so he was hovering over her with his leg pressed between her thighs. Naru looked up into Itachi's eyes and saw a whole spectrum of emotions play though them. She highly doubted that either of them was in love the other, but she know it was stronger than just lust. It was complicated and yet completely captivating. Tachi. She heard the plea in her voice as he answered almost immediately by sealing their lips in a searing kiss. Soon she felt Itachi's tongue run across her lips, asking for entrance. However, when she hesitated, his hand lightly squeezed her, resulting in a pleasured gasp that he took full advantage of and used his tongue to map out her mouth. Soon, Itachi was dominating the kiss, which pulled a moan from deep in Naru<unk>s throat as she threaded her finger. though his long silky black hair. Unsure of when it had escaped his hair tie, she gave his hair a harsh tug, causing Itachi to moan as she got him to deepen the kiss father. Soon she was withering under him from the pleasure of their kiss. He used his leg in an attempt to pin her down, which elicited a moan from her as she rubbed her clothed nether region against his thigh. They soon had to separate for air, and Itachi rested his forehead against hers, causing their breathe to mingle for a little while. I think we should stop before this goes any further," Itachi said as he caught Naru<unk>s eye. "Okay," was her reluctant reply. He gave her one more quick chased kiss before he rolled onto the bed beside her and waited for his breathing to regulate. Once it did, he sat up and ran his fingers through his ruffled hair. But when he went to leave, he realized Naru had a hold of his shirt, effectively stopping him. "Please stay!" Naru asked a silent plea in her eyes. "Just for tonight." Itachi just nodded as they adjusted into a comfortable position for the night. Itachi was lying on his back with his arm wrapped around Naru who was cuddled up to his side with her head resting on his chest. She was soon lulled to sleep by the rhythmic sound of his beating heart and he followed shortly after. The next morning, Naru wake up all alone. She was slightly disappointed by shrugged it off as she started stretching the sleep out of her muscles. Soon her door opened and Itachi walked in with their breakfast. They started eating, but Naru felt tension slowly building between them and decided to start a conversation between them to break it. "Well, I have good news for you," Naru said mischievously. "What's that?" Itachi asked curiously. "You're a better kisser than your brother." She replied with a smirk. He chuckled as he raised his brow. "I didn't know you and my Oudo had that kind of relationship," he said with a teasing smirk. "We don't. He was my rival, best friend, and brother." The kiss was a complete accident and my worst memory. Naru said with a scowl. Really? Itachi sounded intrigued. Yeah, didn't I tell you that story? She asked. He just shook his head. Well, I do try hard never to remember that incident. Anyway, it happened on team placement day. Ramen was Itachi's indifferent reply. Great. I love ramen. It's the best food in the world. Naru replied enthusiastically. So, are you joining us for lunch? Kissame. No, I just had to speak to Itachi about when we leave. Kisame replied getting up from the chair he was in. Oh, too bad. Naru said sitting down at the table. Itachi served lunch and sat down. She when do we leave Tachi? 3 days if everything goes as planned. He replied, "So where are we going or am I not allowed to know?" Naru asked. I can't tell you until we arrive. Itachi said, "Any other questions? Can you tell me where we are? It can't do any harm seeing as we're leaving soon. Naru reasoned. True. We are two and a half days north of Kusagakure 4 at civilian speed. Itachi said, "Oh, so will you still train with me after lunch until we leave?" she asked. "Yes, I may even let you use that sword you've been bragging so much about." He said with a smirk. I am so going to kick your ass. Naru said with a smirk of her own, and they finished their lunch. Naru, give me the scroll with your katana. Itachi said holding out his hand. Naru did as told and Itachi unsealed it. "Wear it? Why? It's<unk> not like anyone is going to attack two members of Akatsuki." Naru asked, but still strapped it to her back. We had to move at civilian pace seeing as your chakra is sealed. Kisame said, "Seeing as you could never take both of us, even with your chakra unsealed, we saw no reason why you couldn't at least be armed to defend yourself." Naru just nodded. I am so glad everyone underestimates me. Cailloubi unsealed my chakra last night. Now I just have to find a good chance to escape. Then she noticed Itachi was watching her and that he knew. They traveled all day and as soon as the sun started setting, they set up camp for the night. Naru was in charge of setting up the tents. Itachi started a fire and Kisame was sent to hunt. When did you do it? Itachi asked as soon as Naru sat down next to him. Caillou did it last night while I was sleeping. She didn't try to hide anything. Why not try anything? He asked. I don't have an opening. Are you going to receal my chakra? No. After that, Kisame came back with a deer and they ate dinner. After dinner, Naru climbed into one of the tents to go to sleep. Kiss had first lookout. Chiachi followed her inside and also went to sleep. It was like that for two more nights. However, before bed the fourth night, Itachi made a big deal about showing Kism that he was putting up a privacy seal in the tent. Don't disturb us, Itachi said as he went into the tent. Once inside, he activated the seal which made it so that no sound could be heard outside of the tent. Naru, tonight is the night you are escaping. We about 6 hours west of Kusagakir. Would they know you helped me? Naru asked. Besides, how am I supposed to take out Kisame? Don't worry, I have it all planned out so that no one will know anything. But there is something I need you to do for me. Itachi told her anything, she told him. Itachi reached into his hip holster and pulled out six scrolls and handed them to her. Those are all of the Uchiha clan secrets that are pasted down to the next heir when they reach 18. Itachi said, "After my brother reaches 18, I want you to give them to him." "Why?" Naru asked, confused. "Because I trust you and know you will be able to bring him back to the right path." Itachi said, "I get that, but why would you want your clan resurrected if you destroyed it once?" she said. There are many reasons, none of which I can tell you right now. Itachi pulled out another scroll out and handed it to her. This one has a blood seal on it so that only one of my relatives can open it. I want you to give it to Sasake once he once again shows he is truly loyal to Konaha. What's on it? If you don't mind me asking, Naru asked. It explains why I did everything. Itachi said, now get some sleep. You'll be leaving at midnight. At midnight, Itachi woke Naru and exited the tent to go knock out Kisame. Soon after, Naru heard a dull thud, so she exited the tent. Itachi turned to her with his sharing gin still activated. "So, what did you do to him?" Naru asked. "I caught him in my one-handed genjutsu, seeing as he knows not to look me in the eye," Itachi said. "Once in my genjutsu, I was able to use my sharing on him and I altered his memory. So, he won't know it was you?" Naru asked slightly relieved. Know when he wakes he will remember hearing a slight noise then having the pressure point at the base of his neck pushed. It will all point to you. He told her and she sigh in relief. She walked up to him and gave him a hug and kissed his cheek then murmured, "Thanks, Tachi." That was the last thing he heard before she hit his pressure point, knocking him out and put him back in the tent. At sunrise, Naru arrived at the gates of Kusagakir. She walked up to the gatekeepers and pulled out her ninja papers. What is your business in Kusa? One gatekeeper asked, "I'm on a training trip with my mentor, Jeriah of the Senate." Narut told the man. He was pulled away on urgent business for Konaha that I was not allowed to follow him on. I realized we were near Kusa when he left me, so I figured I would request a place to rest up and wait for him. Seeing as Kusa and Konaha are allied, "You may enter and go to an inn, but do not leave your room until you have been seen by the Kusakage." The second gatekeeper said, "Understood," Naru said with a dazzling smile. "Could you direct me to a cheap hotel? My funds are low due to my lack of missions. Go two blocks down the main road, take a left, and go three blocks down that street on your right is a small bed and breakfast." GK1 to the power of two said, "Thank you. Do you know about how long it will take for the Kusakage to be able to see me? Either today or tomorrow. GK2 to the power of two replied. Thank you, Naru said with a bow and headed in the direction they told her. She got to the bed and breakfast pretty quickly. She requested a room. Once in the room, she decided she may as well rest until she was called by the Kusakage. After she had spoken to them, she would find a way to earn back the money she had given to the Akatsuki to show she would cooperate with them. Then she would summon a toad and let Aeros Sennon know where she was and that she was all right. The next day, the Kusakage summoned her to their office. It was a man about the same age as Jeriah and Baan by the name Yaso. He gave her permission to use any of the training grounds, full access to their library. She was able to take any mission she wanted as long as mission pay was split between her and the villages, good fellowship, and she was also allowed to help at the academy whenever she wanted during her stay. For the first few days, she took simple D rank to get acquainted with the village. Then took some C ranks that brought her out of Kusa to the surrounding area. At the end of a week, she summoned Gamakichi. Yo, Naru, where have you been? Jera has been searching all over Gig Nokuni cubed for you since you went missing. Gamakichi said, I was kidnapped by the Akatsuki, but they got sloppy with watching a weak prisoner. Naru said, "Could you tell Aeros Sen I'm free and waiting in Kusagakure." "You got it," he said with a salute. "Great. Here's some snacks." Naru said, giving him a couple bags of chips. Then he took off. Naru decided she would go see if there was anything she could help with at the academy. When she got there, she saw they were outside practicing their taijutsu. She soon spotted a small group of three kids off the side that had an air of mischief around them. Being a prankster, she could spot one a mile away. And this group reminded her of the Konahamaru gang back home. She snuck up behind the group and listened to them. This will teach them to pick on us. One boy said, "I didn't know if this is a good idea," Ryukun. The only girl in the group said, "You worried too much, Aoi." The boy now recognized as Ryu said, "He's right. They never should have picked on us for being orphans." The second boy said, "What is the teacher gets mad at us again?" Aoy asked worried. The great Ryu sama would never get caught by a tunin. Ryu exclaimed. Your grades are worse than mine, oh great Ryu sama, the unnamed boy said. Shut up, Uda. Ryu shouted, then looking to see if the teacher noticed. Besides, the teacher just ignores us. Anyway, he shuffled to the side, and Naru could finally see what they were working on. It was just a simple tripwire trap that anyone see through if they were aware of their surroundings. I mean, yeah, it was good for an 8-year-old, but she thought she should offer some improvements. That'll never work, you three, Naru said from behind them, which caused a chain of events she should have seen coming. All three jumped at the sound of her voice. Ryu shouted about how she didn't know anything, and in his excitement fell over the trip wire, caused all three kids to be covered in bright paint and feathers. "See, told you," Naru said, laughing. All the commotion caught the teacher's attention. "What did you do this time, you three?" She asked sternly before noticing Naru. Who are you? Usuzu Maki Naru from Konahagakir. I was told I could help out at the academy if I wanted was in the village so I came to check out. Naru said fine. I'm Yamamoto Sai. The teacher said, "Nice to meet you, Saiia Sensei." Naru said holding out her hand. Yeah, well, I had the kids out here practicing tai jutsu before that group of misfits disturbed us. So, you can either help or just observe how I teach. Sia said, "Why don't I work with your so-called group of misfits?" Naru said, smiling at the three kids cover in paint. "I love a challenge, and you don't have to deal with them. I don't really want to have them disrupting the class." Sia said, "That's fine. I have an idea." Naru said, "I'm here for the next two weeks, so how about I teach them away from the school, and when they come back, you won't even recognize them. As long as their parents don't mind. They're all orphans," Saiia said disdainfully. So, you can do whatever you want with them. Okay. Naru turned to the three kids. Why don't you go home for today and get cleaned up? I want you to meet me outside of the ramen shop at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. The three kids nodded and left. Naru gave the teacher a cheeky grin. There now they are out of your hair for the next two weeks. Suddenly, Naru<unk>s eyes turned icy as she stared at Sia. And one more thing, as a teacher, it's your job to help each and every student reach their full potential. Not just the students have parents. Those three have the most potential out of all your students. But your prejudice has blinded you. Kusakage grass shadow totally made it up because I didn't know what the village leader was called. And the village leader it too hard to type a lot. Squared GK1 GK2 gatekeeper 1 and two cubed gate. No cooney land of cliffs. I made that up too cuz when Naru was kidnapped, she and Jera were a couple miles from Teigakir village hidden in the waterfalls. But the country had no name. So seeing as you need cliffs for waterfalls, I am calling it land of cliffs. The next morning, Naru was at the village's only ramen shop. It wasn't as good as Ichiaku's, but it was still tasty. At 9:00 a.m., the three kids walked into the ramen shop. Would you three like a bowl of ramen? Naru asked, passing halfway through her sixth bowl. They shook their heads. No, your loss. Three beef ramen. Naru said before finishing the bowl in front of her. Soon, three more ramen bowls were placed in front of her. All of which she inhaled in until 5 minutes. She paid then led the kids out the door. "Okay, you guys, we are going to go to training ground 20 and that is where we will meet for the next 2 weeks." "I will explain more when we get there. Understand?" Naru asked. Hi," the three replied hesitantly. They were not used to getting much attention and none of it they did get was never really positive. So to say they were weary of Naru was an understatement. They soon arrived at the training ground and Naru went to sit in the middle of the field. The three kids just looked at her. Well, come sit down you three. Naru said smiling. Once they sat, she spoke again. Okay, seeing as we are going to be together for the next two weeks, I think we should do introductions. So, who wants to go first? The kids looked at each other quickly. "You should go first," Ryu said. The other two nodded in agreement. "Okay, my name is Naru Uzuaki, future Hokag of Konahagakir. I like ramen, training, protecting my precious people, and meeting new people. My dislikes are waiting 3 minutes for Cup Ramen, people who hurt my precious people, people who judge before they get to know someone, people who try to start conflict, and I hate Orochimaru. My hobbies are pulling pranks, reading, training, and just relaxing in the sun. My dreams for the future are saving my best friend, and hopefully his brother, and I am going to be the sixth Hokag. That's all. Your turn, little leader. [ __ ] Naru said as she pointed at Ryu. I'm not little. My name is Ryu, and I'm 8 and a half yearear-olds. I like Yuta and Aoi and Yakisoba. I dislike people who look down on us. My hobbies are pranks. My dream is to be the most awesome ninja ever. Ryu said he was short with brown hair and green eyes. He wore a black t-shirt and khaki color pants with shinobi sandals. As a matter of fact, all three kids wore the same outfit except I always had handmade bows sewn on to make it look more girly. Okay, next. The girl in the middle. My name's Aoi. I'll be eight in two months. Ai said she had light purple hair that was streaked with black and black eyes. She was a little shy. I like Ryukun and Udkun and Mitarashi Dango. I dislike the people who like to bully us. My hobbies are studying, reading, cooking, and taking care of Ryukun and Udakun. I don't know what my dream is, but I would like to be a good Kunoichi. Okay, last but not least, boy number two. My name Uda. I turned eight a month and a half ago. Uda said he jet black hair and purple eyes. He seemed to be the happy balance personalitywise. I like Ryu and Oi Chan. I dislike bullies. My hobbies are reading and studying. My dream is to protect Ryu and Oi Chan forever. Okay, so that's it for introductions. Now, do you have any questions? Naru asked, "Yeah, why do you bother with us? No one else cares." Ryu said, "I just see three potentially great ninjas and thought you deserve to show someone your skills." Naru said, "Besides, you guys remind me of myself when I was younger, but that's a story for another time. Let's get down to learning. Now, who wants to tell me how much you guys already know?" Aoi raised her hand. Naru nodded. Once Naru had a basic idea of how much they knew, she started teaching. "Okay, for the next hour, we are going to read from the history books. I know it's boring, but if you know what happened and why, you can prevent something similar from happening again." After that, we'll do a chakra exercise. Then practice the three basic jutsus. Then we'll go eat lunch. After lunch, we are going shopping to get you guys some new clothes. Plus, you'll need a special outfit for when we do stealth training. After that, we'll come back to the training ground to work on you Thai jutsu and stamina. So, you guys ready? With that, Naru started teaching the kids. For stealth training, she had them dress in neon colors and go around pulling pranks without getting caught. Ryu loved that lesson and the other two had to admit it was kind of fun. At the end of the first week, the three had really improved in all their studies. They were finally at the same level as all their classmates at the school. Aoy was still shy, but had come out of her shell enough to vocalize her opinions. Ryu didn't shout as much, and he know had a friendly rivalry with Yuda to see who could learn things the fastest. All three had mastered the leaf exercise for chakra control. The quartet was currently eating lunch listening to Naru tell stories of the pranks she pulled when she was in the academy when Naru suddenly sat up straight. "Shit, I am so dead," Naru mumbled. The three kids looked confused, but before they could ask what was wrong, there was a big poof of smoke. Do you have any idea how worried I was when you vanished? A voice roared. I almost tore gate nokuni apart looking for you. Do you know what would happen to me if the Akatsuki had killed you? Sununade would kill me then bring me back just so everyone else could have a go at killing me as well. Arrow s and calm down. I'm fine. Naru said calm down. I should beat you within an inch of you life for the worry you caused me. Jera shouted the thread didn't really carrying any weight because he was just worried and not angry. However, three little munchkins came to her rescue anyway. Don't you dare threaten Naru sensei. Ryu shouted as he got into his tai jutsu stance. Yeah, you have no right to yell at her. Yuda said following Ryu<unk>s lead. Please don't be mean to Narun. Aoi asked, but she was also in her taijutsu stance. The three definitely caught Jeriah offguard by protecting Naru. She however just smiled at their concern for her. Ryu, Uda, Oi, it's<unk> all right. He doesn't mean any harm. He was just worried because I vanished on him for 2 months. Naru said and the three relaxed their stances. Vanished. You were [ __ ] kidnapped by the group that wants you dead. Jera said, "Well, I'm fine. They actually took good care of me, seeing as they planned to do my extraction last." Naru informed, "Why would someone want to kill Narun?" Aoy asked on the verge of tears. "Yan Naru<unk>s sensei is to kind for anyone to hate that much." Ryu said in a similar state, "Yuda was too shocked to do anything but stare." "Oh, come on, guys. It's nothing to be sad about. I won't die that easy. I have too many things I have to do first. Remember my nindo is to never give and I never go back on my word. Naru said, "So why don't you guys forget about it? But remember, ninja always make enemies and their lives are in danger with each mission." Okay, to that she got a collective watery smiles. Hey, I know what will cheer you up. How about instead of lesson this afternoon, you watch me spar against one of the legendary Sen. Really? Can we? Ryu asked excitedly. Of course, that is if Aeros Senan isn't too tired from his travels. Naru said, smiling at his. Jeriah found himself faced with three excited and expectant faces of three adorable 8-year-olds. Fine breria agreed. Yahoo. Three voices cheered. Kick his ass, Naru sensei. R. Good luck, Oni. Sensei. Why? Please be careful. Naru n a I'll do my best. Naru told them, "Do you think I'll go easy on you just because you have been slacking for two months?" Jeriah said, "Who said I was slacking in captivity? My caretaker was very considerate and trained with me." Naru gave an uchiha smirk as she lunged at him starting the spar. 3 hours and a few bruises later, three wide eyes students followed Jeriah and Naru back to town. "Did you see that punch she landed? I think it cracked a couple ribs." Ryu was exclaiming as he recapped the spar. Hey Ar Senin, did she crack any ribs? My name is Jeriah the great toad sage you Brad. Jeriah said and I think she did. He added as he proudly ruffled Naru<unk>s hair. I know it. Naru<unk>s sensei is super awesome. Ryu exclaimed making Naru blush at the compliment. Yuda just nodded in agreement. I think so too. Aoi whispered. Thanks guys. Naru said, "How about to celebrate me landing my first hit on Aerosin, we go have yaki soba, then go get dango for dessert." Aerosen's treat that was greeted with three cheers. For the next week, Naru taught the kids their academy curriculum, but she also start them on tree walking. Aloy picked it up the fastest, which made Naru suggest that Aoi look into learning to be a medical ninja. Unfortunately, Naru's two weeks as their teacher was up and it was time for her to leave. Why can't you stay? N Chanoi asked. Wish I could, but I had to go. Naru said, you may think I'm a super strong ninja, but I'm still not strong enough to protect all my precious people, which includes you guys. So, I had to go with my sensei. But what about us? Who's going to teach us? Nobody cares but you. Ryu said, "I promise there are more people out there who will see how awesome you guys are. You just have to work hard just like you have been these last two weeks with me." Naru said, "I promise I will visit you whenever I get the chance. So, you three have to promise to keep up your training and become the awesome ninja I know you can be." "We promise," the three said and hugged Naru. Afterwards, Naru and Jeriah left the village and headed on their way. "You know now that we are out of the village and prying ears, I want you to tell me everything you learned about the Akatsuki while you were their prisoner. It may help bring down their organization or point to why they want the tailed beasts. Jera said, "Okay." Naru told him everything from the time she was training in the field to Hedon's almost attack on her to Itachi helping her escape. She left out what Itachi told her if it didn't have to do with the Akatsuki as well as their making out incident. What I don't understand is why Itachi would show you mercy when he murdered his whole clan in cold blood. Can you think of anything? Jeriah asked. Naru thought of how they had developed a more than friends relationship and she felt her cheeks heat up but ignored the blush and answered. No, can't think of anything. "Are you sure?" Jeriah asked, suspicious of the sudden blush. "Yep, can't think of anything," Naru replied, ending the conversation. "Finally, I missed Konaha and everyone so much," said the young woman who just landed inside the gate. She was about 5' 6" in. her honey blonde hair, which was stre with bright red natural highlights and hung loose going to her knees. She had vibrant azure-colored eyes that put the sky to shame. Three whisker marks adorned her face, which was lit with a 1,000 watts smile, giving her an exotic look. She wore a mesh armored t-shirt under a bright orange tank top that stopped under her bacup s tight black shorts that just covered her ass. She wore elbow length openfingered orange gloves with a mini black weasel embroidered at the end. On hip was an orange pouch and there was a matching canai holster on her right thigh and she wore black open toad knee high boot. Think of soccer's boots. How can you stand to stay away for so long? Aerosen. Don't call me that gaki replied the older man that landed a split second after her. He was a tall man with waistlength spiky white hair usually tied back into a ponytail with two shoulderlength bangs that framed both sides of his face. He also had red lines that ran down from his eyes. He wore a green short shirt kimono and matching pants under which he wore mesh armor that showed out of the sleeves and legs of his outfit. He also wore handguards, a simple black belt, traditional Japanese ghetto, a red Howry with two simple yellow circles on each side, and a scroll on his back. I miss Konaha as much as the next person, but I can never seem to stay in one village for too long. More like your perverted ass gets chased out, the girl grumbled under her breathe. The great Jeriah sama does not get chased out, he gets chased after. Jeriah spoke, "Whatever you say, Aerosen." The girl replied, "Let<unk>s just go see Ba Chan. I have two and a half years worth of dust to clean out of my apartment." With that, they took to the roofs as they headed to the Hokag tower. About halfway there, the girl stopped and looked around. This place hasn't changed at all. Then she looked at the Hokag mountain. Arrow Sen. They added Ba Chan's ugly mug. Naru, is that you? A feminine voice called out from the ground, causing the girl to look down. Sakura Naru answered as she jumped of the roof, flipping through the air and landed gracefully next to the pink head before glumping her in a hug. I missed you so much. How have you been and you stronger than Ba Chan yet? Slow down with the questions. Sakura said, "It's great to see you too. It has been so boring without you around." "My training has been great, but I still have a ways to go." "So, when did you get back?" "About 10 minutes ago. Arrow Sen and I were on our way to see Bachan. Naru said, "Oh, I must have left the gate just before you arrived. So, do you want to go see Sununade sama with me?" Sakura said, "I have to drop off the traveler report from the gate." "Sure, and you can get me up to date in all news, Konaha." Naru said as they started walking as Sakura started filling Naru in on all the gossip. Soon they ran into Shikamaru and Tamari walking around. "Are you guys on a date?" Naru asked them. Tamari got a faint blush. That would be missed by anyone that did know her. Of course not, Tamari said indignantly. I'm just escorting her around. She's here from the tunin exam that just ended. Shikamaru said lazily. Well, that explains why I didn't see when we stopped in Suna to warn Gar. Naru said, warn him about what? Tamari asked sharply. The Akatsuki should be moving by the end of the month. Naru said much to the confusion of Sakura and Shikamaru. They're going in order. So Gar is first. Do you know when? Tamari asked. No, it's just guesses from the information we collected over the last two years. If you want more information, you can come with us to see Baan. Naru said, "Shika, you should come as well. Your mind might be able to fill in the blanks." Shikamaru nodded and the group set out to the Hokag Tower with some small talk. Ba Chan, I'm back. Naru shouted, busting into the Hoage's office. Naru, knock first. Don't just barge in. Sakura yelled as she hit Naru upside the head. This is the hoage's office, not your apartment. I am glad you're back, Naru. Sununade said as she stood up and hugged her. So, your training is complete. Jeriah sent me monthly updates except for a couple months a little over a year ago. Speaking of Jeriah, where is he? Either researching or cowering in fear of you somewhere, Naru said off-handedly. And what reason would he have to cower from me?Sunade asked with an eyebrow raised. Um well you see a Naru said uncomfortably. He didn't perve on you did he? Sununade asked furiously. What? God know he does have some morals. Not many but some. Naru said no. You see Igote kidnapped for 2 months. I didn't catch that. Sununade said brows furrowed. Naru took a calming breath before speaking again. I said I got kidnapped for 2 months. Kidnapped? All but Shikamaru, who just gave her an appraising glance, yelled. How could you let that happen? Snarled, "When I get my hands on him, it's<unk> not really his fault." Naru said, "I was training on my own and pushed myself too far. I was just lying there when TitachiSunade's eyes widened at the name and his partner, Kisame, came upon me. I want your memories gone through to see if there is anything of use in there that can help stop the akatsuki. Sununade said pinching the bridge of her nose. Um, sununade sama. What is this akatsuki? Naru was talking with Tamari San about it earlier as well. Sakura asked and Shikamaru stiffened waiting for a response. NaruSunade said looking at the blonde who nodded in understanding. Sakura shika you remember our tunin exam and how Gar and I fought. Both nodded. You know the tale of how the fourth killed the Kaobi that attacked about 16 years ago. Again, both nodded. Well, to start, that's a lie. A human can't kill a tailed beast. The only way to deal with them is to seal them away, and they can only be sealed in people. Sakura looked confused. While Naru saw Shikamaru putting pieces together, "Do you guys remember my secondary chakra?" Sakura still confused. Shikamaru had put the pieces together and was wideeyed. Yeah, you guessed right, Shika. I don't see where this is going. Sakura said, "You see, the best people to seal the beast in his babies." So, when the Caillou attacked 16 years, ago, on October 10th, the fourth had to choose a newborn to seal it into and out of all the children born that day, for some unknown reason, he chose me for the sacrifice. Naru said she saw Sakura was crying. A few tears even escaped Shazun andsunade. "How could anyone do that to a child?" Sakura asked that not a burden anyone should have to bear. True, but it was seal the beast or let it destroy the village. It is the hoage's duty to protect the village at all costs, so I can understand why he did it. Naru said, "I just wish I know why he choose me. I'm sure there is a good reason those who know the answer won't tell me." Naru said, "Sunady stiffened at the last sentence, which everyone but Sakura noticed. Anyway, as for the Akatsuki, all we know is that they want to collect and extract the demons. We just don't know why. Well, that should answer your question. Sakura said, "Naru, in 2 days, you will report to Enoichi at the T and I department to have him go through your memories of while you were captive. Now, is there anything of importance I should know? Just that the Akatsuki should start to move by the end of the month." Naru said they plan on extracting the beasts in order. That's the only thing the Akatsuki told me for certain. Everything else Aeros Sen knows and can fill you in on. It would be a good do for Tamari and Shikamaru to hear everything as well. Suna is already filled in on everything we learned. I get why Tamari should be briefed, but why do you want Shikamaru involved? Asked, you know, we have Shikaku, who is my best strategist. That's true. His father is your best strategist, but I had two years of training, meditation, and thinking. Naru said, "I am going to be the next Hokag." So, I put some thought into what the village is going to be like under my rule. By then, Kona had 12. Cause if everything goes as planned, Sasake will be back, will be old enough to take reigns. But anyway, to my point. Shikamaru is going to be my best strategist and leave yours in the dust." Naru smiled at Shikamaru's shocked face, but got a smile in return. If he wasn't so lazy, I know he could have been a Junin by the time the rest of us graduated. the academy. I see smiling. Shikamaru, you are dismissed for now, but I want you back here in 4 hours for the Akatsuki briefing. Hi, Hokag Sama. Shikamaru said before turning to leave Tamari following behind him. Okay, on to other business you two said. Now, team seven was abolished after Sasake left. Naru left for a training trip and Sakura became my apprentice. So I have decided that you two need to be test to see how you skill have grown since your days as team seven. Naru this will also show me if you deserve to be promoted to rank of tunin. Understand? Hi they said together how are we being tested? Naru asked as she suddenly felt Kakashi's chakra signature outside the window. Ask you examinersade responded pointing out the window which Naru jumped right out to land in front of Kakashi. Hey Kakashi sensei, how long have you been here? Naru asked, long enough. How was your trip? Kakashi replied. It was great. Aro Sen trained me real hard. Naru said, which reminds me, I have something for you. She pulled out a end book and handed it to him. Jera gave it to me, but I don't read those things. So here, of course, it's not due out for another month. Is that what I think it is? Kakashi asked reverently. Yep. Icha Icha tactics first book in over two years. Naru said, "So, what's our test?" Kakashi stood up and put the book away, then looked between the two. Be at our training ground 7 a.m. tomorrow. And with that, he poofed away in a swirl of leaves. Looks like he went to read that damn smutty trash. Naru said, "Hey, that's my life work, Gagi. It's romance, not trash." Jeriah said, popping out of nowhere. Whatever, Aeros Sen. Naru said just before sununade started shouting at him. Hey Sakura, want to go to eat Chiaku's with me? I haven't had their ramen in forever. Besides, it looks like Ba Chan is done with us. Sure, we still have some catching up to do. Sakura said, "Bye, Shazun." Nchan, Bachchan, Aeros, Senan. Naru yelled as the two girls left the room. Naru and Sakura chatted for a while. Sakura said team Guy was out on a mission until the middle of next week, but that they were going to throw a welcome back party for Naru. After Naru went home and summoned some shadow clones to help clean her apartment and get it livable again, which only took a couple hours. Finally, she was able to go to sleep and rest up for tomorrow. The morning Naru and Sakura arrived at 8:00 a.m. showed up at training ground 7 to find Shazoon, a ticked offsunade, and an amused Jeriah. What took you guys so long? Tsunad asked, "You're an hour late. We ran into Eno and Hinata, so we decided to have a girl's morning out." Naru said, "It's not like Kakashi Sensei was going to be on time. We didn't know you were going to be here," Sakura explained nervously, knowing temper. "We're<unk> sorry, Sununade Sama. I'm not. It's<unk> their own fault for showing up on time," Naru said, causing Sununade to crack her knuckles and Jeriah to laugh. However, she was saved from a beating by Kakashi's arrival. Yo, Kakashi greeted as he looked at the group. It's about time, Hitaki.Sunade gritted out. Well, you see, Kakashi stated lazily before you got cut off by sununade. Can it with the excuses you job it to access their skills? You may use whatever means necessary. Set your own time limit. Sununade instructed. Hi, Hokag Sama. Kakashi said turning to the two teens. Okay, this is going to be real simple. I'm giving you the belt test. Same thing apply as when you were 12. However, it's a 24 limit this time. Okay, let's go. Naru said, summoning five clones, four of which attacked Kakashi, who easily defeated them. I never said start. You still hotheaded. Kakashi said, "Not quite," Naru said, grabbing her clone's hand. "I just wanted to get the bells the way I should have thought of when I was 12." "What's that?" Kakashi asked. Naru clone poofed only to appear at Kakashi side. Kamarimi Naru as she held up the bells causing everyone to sweat dropped. Why hasn't anyone else ever thought of that? Sununade groaned. I mean tons of Jenn and have been given the bell test. Myself and the fourth included. Well Nar once again you have managed to shock us with your ingenuity once again. Kakashi said I can't take the credit for the idea. Naru said as she tossed the bells back to Kakashi. Someone else gave me the idea when I was telling them about the Jennine test. I face palmed when he suggested it. Everyone saw how her features softened at the memory of this person and all were curious who pulled that kind of reaction from her. Of course, Jeriah had his assumptions. So, are we going to get this test on the road or what? Naru asked, snapping back to herself. All right, start. Kakashi said as he vanished on a puff of smoke. Where is he? Naru asked as Sakura looked around. below. Sakura shouted as she punched the ground causing it to crumble. Note to self, dodge punch when Sakura is really upset. Naru thought, Jeriah, what rank would you say Naru is at right now? Nade asked after watching the match for a few hours. She is at the point where if she goods out in a spar, she can match me for a few hours before I start to overpower her. Jera replied. So I'd say she is ready for a tunin promotion and with a couple months experience she'll be ready to become a Junin for this village as well. What do you mean in this village as well? Sununade asked. Remember that agreement you made with the sand siblings as part of the allegiance agreement? Jera asked they get to adopt Naru and as such she is also an honorary member of Sunna working as an ambassador when necessary. Yes, I remember. Sununade said, "Isn't that why Gar was election as case caged by the Suna council?" That and neither of his siblings would take the position because Naru convinced Gar he was born to protect Sunna. Jeriah said anyway, Gar deemed that as a genturi and the one to help him see the light, she deserved to be on his personal guard, which consists of Hi Junin and Anbu. Why wasn't I informed of this? Asked. You should have told me. It was a Suna matter and did not concern Konaha. Jera stated simply, "What if the cages were under attack? She would have to pick a side." Sununade stressed. We both know she would never pick a side. She has vowed to herself to protect everyone precious to her. Jera said, "Now back to her skills. I think if you were to start her training now, she would be ready to take over by the time she reaches 18 if you wanted." "Really?" Sununade asked. I will think about it, but her training would have to be in secret because those stuffy old coots would try to block us at every move. Now, one more question. What? Jeriah asked, raising his brow. Who is she talking about? Sununade asked. I know you saw that look. She won't tell me. Jera said, every time I brought up her being in love or having a crush, she denied it. I think she believes herself when she says that. She really doesn't know her features soften when she speaks about whoever it is. Don't give me that. I know you at least have an assumption of who it is. Sununade said, "You're right. I do. But I also know ignorance is bliss." He jera said solemnly. "Are you telling me to drop this?" said, "I'm saying that even an assumption won't help anyone." Jara said, "After several more hours, Sakura and Naru get the bells from Kakashi. We all know how." Naru and Sakura were waiting for sununade's evaluation as she had just finished speaking with Kakashi. Naru, did you come up with that taijutsu style on your own or was it something Jeryama taught you? Kakashi asked as he joined the two girls. I learned it on my own mostly. Naru said, "It's a combination of two different styles which took a while to combine. However, once I did, it made it kind of unpredictable. Which styles did you combine? I thought I recognized some of those moves. Kakashi asked curiously. Well, on style was an Uzumaki clan technique that could be used with my kenjutsu. Naru said, "You have a clan?" Sakura said, "Yeah, I was surprised as well." Naru said, "I kind of remembered hearing about my clan in the academy, but then Aruka sensei told us it had been wiped out during the second shinobi war, so I just pushed the thought away." "Now that you mentioned it, I do remember that." Sakura said something like them being more powerful than the Senju or Uchiah clan. So, they were feared by all their enemies, which caused Ewa and Kumo to join forces and wipe out the whole clan. Yeah, that's the one. Well, it would turn out some people escaped and are scattered around the elemental continent, making me one of the last Uzumakis, which is kind of cool, Naru said. Anyway, back to my taijutsu. Once I was proficient in the Uzumaki style, which is primarily defensive, Aeros Sen decided I should try and combine an offensive style with it because I'm not really a defensive fighter. Isn't that almost impossible to do because both styles have to balance out? Sakura asked. Yeah, Naru said. Aeros Sen said he had to put a lot of thought into it, but he said he finally found one that would work. It took almost 5 months before I could even try combining them because I had to completely teach the style to myself because Aeros Sen had only ever seen it done and took more speed than he could use. Really, a style Jaraya sama can't use? Kakashi asked intrigued. Which would that be? The fourth hoage's personal style? Naru said shocking Kakashi. So that's why I recognized some of the moves. Kakashi murmured. Why is that khaki sensei? Nar asked. Even Sakura looked interested in learning something about their old sensei. The fourth Hokag was my sensei. Kakashi told them, "That's so cool." Naru shouted, "He has totally been my hero since I was little." Just then, Sununade, Jeriah, and Shazoon, who was holding a wiggling taunt, walked over, stopping all further conversation about the fourth. "All right, based on my observations of this match, I'm reinstating you three as a team. However, instead of teacher and students, you will all be equals. The leader will be Kakashi, and you shall all be part of team Kakashi. Sununade said, "Your first mission shall be in a week." "Now," Naru, "In regards to your promotion," dramatic pause. "I want you to pick up your tunin vest and uniform in 3 days time." "Congratulations, Brad." "Yes," Naru shouted, jumping up in the air. "You're all dismissed." Sununade said, "Gaki, remember I want you at the T and I department at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning to see Inoichi." Hi, Bachan. Naru said his team Kakashi went to celebrate. Bet you didn't see that connection to Suna coming. So, next chapter is Inoichi's mind search. What could possibly happen? Also, Naru's plan to get Sasake back is revealed. The next morning, Naru woke up at 5:00 a.m. Like always, she decided that seeing as she had so much time, she would do some morning exercise before getting ready for the day. She dressed in an orange tank top and loose black shorts that went to her knees. And instead of her ninja boots, she put on some civilian sneakers. Leaving her apartment, she decided to run a few laps around the walls of Konaha before she headed to training field 8 to do some push-ups, sit-ups, and to run through some light catis. All this was done while her chakra was sealed so that she was building muscle. Then she headed home to clean up before heading to the T and I department. At quarter to 10, Naru walked into the T and I building and was rather surprised to see it had a lobby with a receptionist. Naru shrugged and walked up to the receptionist and cleared her throat. Get the receptionist to turn around. Naru, turns out the receptionist was Eno. What are you doing here? Um, I got an appointment with your father at 10:00 a.m. Naru said, "I thought you were working at the hospital with Sakura." I do, but I'm also my father's apprentice, seeing as I'm the next clan head. Oh, I didn't know you were following him to the T and I department. I thought you would do the medic thing. Naru said, "Do you really have time for both?" "Yeah, I only decided a year ago to follow my dad. I think I surprised everyone when I made the decision." Eno said, "I think my dad was thinking my cousin Inari. He's a couple years younger than us. Was going to follow him. As for working at the hospital, that's only when I have free time." "Oh, well, I should probably head to see your dad. Could you point me in the right direction? I kind of want to get this over with so I can go see Baan." Naru said, "Sure thing." Eno said, "Dad should be in his office. It's on the top floor. Once you leave the stairwell, head down the hall until you come to on that branches off it. Go down that hall. Dad's door is the third one on the right. Thanks, Naru said as she headed toward the stairs. Do you have any memories you want me to block out from the investigation? Naru heard Caillou asked inside Naru<unk>s head. No, as much as I would like to keep everything, Tachi told me to myself. We both know it will only make me look suspicious, Naru replied. And we both knew how the council is just looking for a way to lock me away. I have nothing to hide. Really? Caillou asked. because I can think of something that might get you in trouble. And what would that be? Oh, wise. Kaobi sama Naru asked sarcastically. I think I'll let you find out on your own for that comment. Caillou replied with a growl. Gez, someone can't take a joke. Naru mumbled as she turned the corner on the third floor and bumped into someone. Oops. Sorry. It's all right, Naru. I was just on my way to find you. The blonde man Naru bumped into said, "But I see you found your way up here just fine." Yeah, Eno gave me directions. Naru said, "But I am sorry I bumped into you," Eninoi said. I should have been paying more attention to my surroundings. "It's fine. Shall we head to my office to get this done?" Enochi asked. "I'd appreciate it. There are some other things I would like to do today, so I want this over by lunchtime." Naru said, following him to his office. Once inside, they sat in two chairs that were facing each other. "Okay, it is my understanding you know how to enter your own mindscape. Is that correct? Eninoi asked. Yes. Naru said, "Why does that matter? I would like you to enter it when I say and wait for me to finish the examination." Enoichi explained that way. If I have any questions, I can have them answer immediately. I could answer your question outside of my mind. Naru said confused. True, and though I do not believe you would lie to me, it is impossible to lie inside your mind. You know, you're right. I would never lie. Naru said, "I understand that, but people tend to lie to themselves when they do not like the answer." Enochi said, "And if you say something often enough, you start to believe it. Understand? Basically, you're saying what I may believe to be true might not actually be true in my subconscious, and I'll say what I really mean inside my mindscape," Naru said uncertainly. "That's right," Eninoi said. "Now, let's<unk> begin." Naru had been waiting 20 minutes for Inoichi to show up and was getting bored. Come on, Kaobi. You could at least talk to me. Naru said, "How much longer do you think he's going to take? He will be here soon enough, Brad." Cailly growled out. Now be quiet. I wish to sleep. Come on, that's all you ever do. Naru whined. That's because my container is a noisy brat that asks a million questions. Caillou said, "How I wish I could get out of here?" "Yeah, well, I don't see any mask wearing sharing user to rip you out of me." Naru said sarcastically. However, I doubt you want to get out just to be forced to attack the village again. I would prefer just to go away from all you humans. Caillou said, "It would appear company heard your comment." Naru turned around to see Enochi watching their conversation. "I know San, are you finished?" Naru asked, snapping Enoichi out of his thoughts. "Yes, and I have a few questions about somethings," Eninoi said. But first, I have a question about what I just heard. What would that In Eninoi San Naru asked, "What were you talking about when you said the Kaobi was forced?" Eninoi asked, "That is a question for Kaobi as it is not my place to answer." Naru said. Inichi nodded in understanding and walked up to the cage as the Caillou looked at him waiting. "Could you explain what Naru was talking about, Kaubi sama?" Enochi asked politely. "At least you are politer than the brat somewhat." "Anyway," Kaobi snorted. It is simple. I did not wish to attack you village at any time. Though I am a being of hatred and malcontent does not mean I am necessarily violent. May I ask what caused you to attack us then? Enoichi asked. That would be some Uchihas had put me under their control. The first time was when Uchiha Mater used me against Senju Hashiama. The only way to stop me was to seal me away did. The second time I was ripped from the body of my second host by an unknown Uchiha who seemed vaguely familiar. Your fourth broke the weak control he had then sealed me inside the brat. Caillou explained, "Do you know how they controlled you?" Eninoi asked, "It is a skill that comes with the manekio sharing." Caillou said, "You have your answers now. Leave me alone. Your focus is supposed to be the brat. Thank you for speaking to me," Eninoi said, then turned to Naru. "Are you ready to answer my questions?" "As ready as I can be," Naru replied. Is this going to take long? I only have one or two questions. Enoichi said, "Is it all right if I start?" "Sure," Naru replied. "Okay, first question," Eninoi stated. Do you remember all your time with the Akatsuki? "Yes, I remember everything." Naru answered, "What do you think of Itachi?" Eninoi asked. I don't understand. "Do you mean, do I think he's a good person or something like that?" Naru asked, confused, and Caillou snorted inside his cage. "No, let me ask it another way," Eninoi said. Do you love Itachi? Yes, Naru replied. Then her eyes widened in shock. I do. Naru was really shocked by the revelation. Would you still protect Konaha if he attacked it? Eninoi asked. He'd never do that. Naru said with conviction. Naru. He already wiped out his whole clan without reason. There is a high possibility he will attack Konaha. Eninoi said seriously. If you really did go through everything, you should know Itachi would have needed a very good reason to do what he did. Naru stated, "I don't know the reason, but I know Itachi would never harm Konaha." "Fine," Eninoi said. Seeing this was getting him nowhere. "If for some reason Itachi had a change of heart, would you stop him from harming Konaha?" "Yes," Naru said. "That's everything. Let's<unk> return to reality," Eninoi said. Once they were out of Naru mind, Enoichi went to his desk and started writing down everything he had learned. Naru just sat thinking about what she had just learned about her feelings. and Inoichi just let be. He knew it was a revelation that would shock her a lot. It's not every day you learn you love someone you can never have. After she sat there for 15 minutes, Enoichi spoke. Are you all right, Naru? He asked. Why don't you go talk to someone about it? I know you have a lot of people who care for you. I'm sure one of them can help you sort through your thoughts. No, whether I love Itachi or not, nothing has changed, Naru said, looking him in the eye with a determined stare. I have things to do. I have to bring Sasake home, stop whatever the Akatsuki has planned, and become the greatest Hokag ever. Being in love with someone doesn't change anything. Thank you for the concern. Eno is lucky to have such a great dad. I'm sure your father would have been just as caring if he was alive. Enochi said. So, I take it you knew him as well. Naru asked. He was a very good friend of mine. Enoichi nodded. I know he would have been even more protective of you than I am of Eno. Then again, he was always very expressive, especially with your mother. I'm happy to hear that. It's always nice to learn something about my parents, seeing as at this point, all I know is they were great shinobi who died during the Kaobi attack. Naru said with a small sad smile. They were and would be proud to have such a strong daughter. Enochi said, "Thank you, Enochi San." Naru said with a bow, I'm going to go talk to Bachan. Have a good day. With that, Naru headed for the door. Naru, you know I have to tell Sunad sama about Itachi. Inoichi said, causing her to pause, but I think she would rather hear it from you. Naru just nodded in understanding. Farewell. After Naru left the T and I department, she headed to the Hokag Tower. Eninoi was right. She should be the one to tell Ba Chan about Itachi. Plus, she had to put her plan to bring Sasake home into action. Once Naru got to the Hokag tower, she scaled the building and enters the hoage's office through the window. She noticed that the elders were there. Ba Chan, I got to talk to you. Naru said, totally ignoring the other three in the room. It's kind of important. Well, in my opinion, it's nothing real serious, but kind of private. See, that thing can't even show us the proper respect. Not to mention, it used the window instead of a door. The woman elder said, "Kaharu is correct. The vessel is unfit for promotion. The unbandaged man said, "I am with Homiera and Kaharu. Besides, the vessel should not be allowed out of the village. It should be kept in the village and only used when necessary." The bandaged elder said, "By now, Naru had had enough of being treated as an object and not a person." Naru looked at Sununade, who was rubbing her temple in annoyance and received a small nod. Turning to face the elders, Naru glare got icy and even resembled that of Anuchiha. I will only say this once. Naru said coldly. It is not required to show you respect as you are just old fools who have experience so that you can give advice that the Hokag can either listen to or ignore. You do not get any sign of respect from me as you can even call me by my name. As for my promotion, you have no say in it. So even if you disagree, you can just shove it because the only power you have is to state your opinion. How dare you speak to us, you ignorant brat. Kaharu said, "Ignorant?" Naru stated, "Hardly, it is stated in the laws set up by the first that the council is there as advisers for the Hokag to listen to at will and has no say in decisions unless the Hokag is for some reason incapacitated." "Is that true?" Sununade asked, surprised. "Yes," Naru replied. "It's under council laws and guidelines." "This girl is lying," the bandaged man stated angrily. Can it Danzo? Nade snarled. Shazun hearing her name called a woman with her black hair in a bob. I want you to get me the original and the copy of the council laws and guidelines. Hiunade sama. Shazun said as she ran out of the room in a hurry. Everyone in the room waited in a pregnant silence as they waited for Shazun<unk>s return, which only took 10 minutes. As soon as she entered, she places the scrolls on Sununade's desk and Naru went to point out where the law was stated. their law 54 clause C subsection 4 Nu said pointing however it's not in the copyunade looked and saw Naru was telling the truth causing her to glare at the council care to explain why there is such a discrepancy asked the council a simple mistake that no one noticed Danzo said it was copied so long ago this is not a simple mistake this omission would give you more powers stated now if I find out about any more of these power trips, I will take action. This is your one and only warning. Now get out of my sight." The three elders stood there for a while before leaving. Then Sununade turned her attention to Naru. What is it you wanted to talk about? Could we have some privacy? Naru asked quietly. Sununade signaled for the ambu watching her to leave and activated a privacy judu. Can I ask what could possibly need such secrecy? Sununade asked. Well, when Eninoi San was doing the mind check this morning, he helped me come to a realization about something. Naru said, "I have a favor to ask first, but don't make a decision until I tell you everything." Okay, fine. What's the favor? asked. I want permission to have full access to everything pertaining to the Uchia clan. Naru said, "Why?" asked genuinely wondering where this is going. I still want to bring Sasake back. And one of the last things he said to me before he left was that I could never understand how it felt to lose everything. Naru said, "As much as I didn't want to admit it, he was right. We were similar in the fact we were both lonely. However, our types of loneliness were different. I don't get where this is going." Sununade said, "I was lonely from the beginning. Therefore, I never knew what it was like to have had a family and lost it leaving me alone. Whereas Sasuke had a family full of love only to have it ripped away. I can only think of two ways to try and understand him. Naru explained, "What would those be?" Sununade asked. "The first which I will not even consider is to have all of my precious people I have gotten over the years taken from me in the same way as Sasake." Naru said, "The second would to learn everything I can about Sasuke's family so that I know everyone he lasted completely. So you want everything about the Uchias?" Sununade asked. Well, maybe not everything, but definitely personal files and everything about the massacre. Naru said, "At least to start, I'll let you know if there is anything more I need." "Okay, now what is the thing Enoichi's exam made you realize?" Sununade asked. "And how could it possibly affect my decision?" "Well, I also have another reason for wanting to explore the facts of the Uchia massacre." "I don't think it happened the way the council said," Naru said. "There are some things that don't add up. Like, what?" asked. And what does this have to do with anything? I will get to that in a moment. Naru said, "Do you really believe that 113 years could wipe out an entire clan of 200 plus people on his own? Itachi was a prodigy and an ambu captain. Plus, he was a master at using his sharing." Said, "True, but 80% of the Uchia clan were trained ninja. I also know that out of their ninja, 75% were junan level with sharing." Naru stated, "Thi was not the only Uchiha to have mastered the Sheringin. You're a gambler. Tell me the odds one Sharing would win against over 100 ninja when more than half of them are at least highly proficient at using the sharing as well. Are you saying you don't think it did it?" Sunade asked skeptically. "As much as I wish for a different answer, no, I believe Tachi was still involved. However, I do think there is more to it than was actually said." I would have to agree when you put it that way. Nade said, "Now what all this had to do with your revelation and my decision?" "Well, you may decide not to let me look into any of this as you might think I will have a slight conflict of interest." Naru said, "You see, while I want you save Sasake and look into the massacre, I also want to try and prove Tachi's innocence because I'm in love with him." "What was the last part?" Sununade asked, dreading, which he was about to hear for some unknown reason. I said. Naru took a deep breath before continuing because I'm in love with him as in Uchiha. Naru just stood there waiting for Sununade to explode and she know it wouldn't take long as sununade had already gone three shades of red. You're what with whunade yelled, "How did this happen? I'm going to kill Jeriah." Ba Chan calmed down. Naru said, "This has nothing to do with Aerosin. I didn't even realize I was in love until Enoichi pointed it out. It was just kind of something that happened before I knew it. What are you going to do? Sununade asked. You know, nothing good could come from this. If anything, it could make you vulnerable to the Akatsuki. I'm not going to do anything about it. Naru said, "It's not as simple as ignoring it, but I have other things that take priority, so maybe you can keep it a secret." Enoichi seems to be of the opinion that I'm not a threat. Otherwise, he would have locked me up for interrogation and contacted you immediately instead of telling me I should be the one to tell you instead of finding out in a report. What the things that take priority to yourself? Sununade asked. Getting Sasuke's sorry ass back in the village, Naru said and becoming Hokag. One questions said, have you ever thought that if you bring Sasake against his will that he might just leave again? That is why I am hoping you let me look though the Uchiha files. Naru said, "I'm not naive enough to believe I just had to knock some sense into him." Not to mention, he's so damn stubborn that I'd have to beat him to death before he'd admit I was right, and even then, he wouldn't admit it. "What about him wanting to kill Itachi?" Nade asked. "Loing someone you love has been known to destroy the best shinobi. I hope with time he can forget revenge," Naru said sadly. But if not, either outcome would be heartbreaking as I still think of Sasake as a brother. Hopefully, I can find a way to convince him to just be happy. Having a new family is better than revenge. Sununade and Naru sat in silence as Sununade though about everything that she and Naru discussed. After 20 minutes, Sununade nodded to herself and dispelled the privacy judu. You have my permission to use any files you deem necessary for what you want, Sununade said. However, I want to know if you come across any information that seems out of place, tampered with, or just does not fit. Can I ask the remaining members of the Kona 12 for assistance if I need it? Naru asked. Yes, but do not let them know what it's about, said. Don't need that much of a headache. Hi, Naru said, leaving the same way she came in. Oh, yeah. See you in a couple days for my new vest and official tunin uniform. Today, team Kakashi would get their first mission. So, we find Naru, Sakura, and Kakashi in the mission room, waiting to get theirs. Over the last week, Naru has had herself locked up insunade's personal study, going through everything about the Uchiah massacre. Two days ago, she came across something strange and decided she would need a more critical eye to look it over. Flashback. Naru had just finished writing everything down on the scroll when Shikamaru entered the study. Naru he asked surprised when an ambu comes saying I was needed in the hoage's personal study I thought hokag sama needed me yeah sorry about that I forgot to tell them to tell you it was from me sorry Naru said it's<unk> fine so what do you needaru asked well I'm working on this secret project of my own which is why Ba Chan gave me her study and two ambu to use so I can't go into much detail Naru said anyway I kind of need you to go through these two scrolls and tell me anything you notice. Something just doesn't sit right with me, but I can't quite put my finger on it, so I need someone with a more critical mind to go through it. Troublesome. How soon do you need the information? Shikamaru asked in a bored tone, but Naru saw he was standing straight. Well, I would like it back as soon as possible, Naru said. But I know you're going through the Akatsuki information as well, and that takes priority. So, if you can get back to me in a week, that would be great. But no longer than two weeks, please. Sure thing, Shikamaru replied as he turned to leave. Thanks, Shika. I really appreciate it, Naru said, smiling. Anytime, Naru, Shikamaru said. Besides, I have to live up to your high expectations. I don't have high expectation, Naru said. But I'll warn you that Tamari does. However, you already meet most of them, so don't worry. Shikamaru blushed and left muttering something that sounded like troublesome blondes. Team Kakashi, Sunsunade said, pulling Naru out of her thoughts. All we have at the moment are some D-rank and a couple low C rank missions. Kakashi as team leader, which do you choose? Ma, Kakashi drawled, seeing Sakura and Naru sending him looks that said, if you choose Dank, we will make your life a living hell. However, before Kakashi could give an answer, Shazun ran into the room. Nad sama shizun said in a worried voice the case cage has been taken by the akatsuki and conqueror was found poisoned after he went to pursue them on his own. Naru stiffened damn its sununade swore team Kakashi you are to be ready to leave in 30 minutes. You are going to add suna in the return of their case cage. Gar understood. Hi. The three replied before taking off. They left after 45 minutes minutes. After a day of travel, they ran into Tamari and informed her of what happened. After that, it took two more days. They reached Suna where they were met by a handful of Anbu. Tamari Sama, Naru Sama. The leader greeted both girls, nodded in acknowledgement. Status report. Tamari said, "From what we have gathered, Garas sama exhausted his chakra by saving the village from an explosion that would have wiped it out the entire village." The Anboo said Conqueror Dono followed the attackers with a platoon. Soon after, however, there was a trap set in the passageway that injured 20 people and killed seven. Conqueror Dono and two others were saved by one of his puppets. Conqueror Dono was brought back in critical condition after he sent more squads out. I want Sakura brought to Kuro immediately. Naru ordered, "Finish with the report." Two Anboos stepped up to escort Sakura. After they left, Naru still looked worried. Nay sama I going to go stay with N san Naru said to Tamari then turned to a shocked Kakashi film me and later sensei with that she took off to the hospital upon entering the hospital and Anbu appeared to lead her to Conquer<unk>'s room once she got there she went to Conqueror<unk>s bed grabbed his hand and squeezed it "Naru?" he asked with a raspier voice than usual. "Is that you?" "Yes, Ni sama, it's me." Naru said, "Nay sama is getting updated with Kakashi sensei. Sakura is here as well to get the poison out of your system." "That's good. I'm glad they sent the best to get Gar back," Konuro said, falling asleep. "Of course," Naru whispered, turning to Sakura. "You can get the poison out, right?" "Yes, I just need a sample of the poison to make an antidote." Sakura said calmly, even though she was curious about the exchange. I'll explain it once Conqueror is stable. Naru said. Sakura just nodded and got to work. Soon, Tamari, Kakashi, and two elders arrived. One elder was making her opinion of asking for help known. I still see don't see why we need help from Konaha. The woman was saying, "Besides, unless they brought the slug princess, they will not find an antidote for the poison, seeing as I, the best in the field, could not. Besides, why alert others that we are unprotected at the moment? They will just take advantage of the situation." By now, Naru had had enough of the woman. I would never let anything like that happen between Suna and Konaha. Naru said angrily, "As for the poison, we may not have the Hokag, but we have her apprentice. Now, if all you have is negative things to say, then leave and go back to your oasis. We have enough to worry about without your negativity. How dare you speak to another village's elders like that?" The man said, "I was speaking as a Sununa Shinobi." Naru said, "The case cage is what matters, not your opinions of past relations." Kakashi and Sakura's eyes widened at that statement, but said nothing. Tamari just sighed. Naru, enough. Tamari spoke up. Naru is right, Elder Chio. Now is not the time for this. One of my brothers, growl from Naru. Our brothers is in critical condition and one has been kidnapped. Your petty issues can wait until later. After several hours of tense silence, Sakura announced that Konuro was stable. Naru and Tamari released a sigh of relief as they got up to see him, the others following close behind. "How are you feeling, Conuro?" Tamari asked. "Better?" Konuro said, turning his head to see his visitors, he scanned the group. But when they landed on Naru, who appeared to be hiding behind Tamari, his eyes bugged out of his head. "Naru, we told you you need to wear more clothes than that in public cover up now." Konuro said as he sat up swaying. N sama Naru yelled as she ran to him as he headed for the ground. Konuro, you're not supposed to move yet. Sakura said lying him back down on the bed. I just got all the poison out of your system. It will be 24 hours before you can move freely. Fine, but Naru needs to get dressed, Konuro said. And Naru put on a lab coat to cover up. Konuro, is there anything you can tell us about the Akatsuki that attacked and took Gar? Kakashi asked. He doesn't need to I know who they are. Naru said he just has to tell us a direction. How do you know? Sakura asked. The Anboo said Gar was protecting the village from an explosion. Naru said each Akatsuki works in pairs. Only Dara uses explosions. Dedar's partner is a puppet master named Casori. Oh, was the only response Naru got. Which direction were they going? Do you remember Conquo? Kakashi asked. Yes, but they kept leaving false trials and going in different directions randomly. Konuro said, "However, I used Crow to get a piece of Casor's clothes. So, if you have a way to follow his scent, it might work." Kakashi summoned his pack and sent them to trap the scent. It was going to take at least 6 hours for them to find something. So, Sakura and Kakashi were given rooms while Tamari and Naru went home to the mansion for the night. At 10:00 a.m., Pakun returned with a location. So, team Kakashi got ready to set off with Conquo, who refused to stay bedridden and Tamari, but were stopped by Baki. Tamari, Conuro, the council has decided you would be more useful guarding the borders in case of an attack. Baky informed, "We are going after our brother." Konuro said angrily, "it is our job to make sure he is safe." Konuro<unk>'s right. I don't care what the council says. We are going after Gar. Tamari said, "We refuse to leave everything to Naru." Actually, I think this is better. Naru said, "If you go guard the border for 6 hours, then follow, you'll<unk>ll be able to kill two birds with one stone. Besides, do you want to face Gar's wrath if the border is attack while he is in disposed?" Tamari and Conqueror both pald. Take Matsuri with you. She needs something to take her mind off things. Fine. Both consented, but you need to take at least one Sunna nin because your skills are not the greatest against a puppet master. Just then, Chio landed amongst the group. I am going, Chio stated. It's<unk> about time I visited my loving grandson. Anyway, once everything was settled, everyone took off to go save Gar. They travel nonstop and about 20 minutes from where they needed to be, they were confronted by Uchiha. Kakashi called was the first to notice his presence as Naru was too preoccupied with getting to Gar on time. Kakashi called for the group to stop just outside a clearing. That is when Naru noticed him as well. You can come out Uchiha. Kakashi said very good Kakashi san. Itachi said coming out from behind some trees. Tachi, what kind of jutsu is that? Naru asked getting looks from everyone like she was crazy. Hn give me a real answer. Naru growled frustrated already. This isn't the real you, but it's not a clone. Otherwise, I would have sensed you, no matter how distracted I was. It's a possession jutsu, Itachi told her. Now that Kakashi focused, he did notice something was off with Itachi. I'm actually near the northern border of the fire country. The extraction is already complete by now. You were too late. What he said next shocked everyone but Naru. I'm sorry, Itachi said, looking straight at Naru, and they could tell he meant it. I'm still going to find a way to save him. Naru said, I'm guessing I have to get past you first. HN, will you still get the memories back? Naru asked. Hn glad I understand. Uiha speak. Naru said sarcastically before turning to look at everyone. I'll take care of Tachi. He is only at about 10% his usual power. It should only take a little while, but I have the largest chakra reserves, which means I am the only one who can waste some. The group just nodded, seeing the wisdom in what she said. Naru rushed in and attacked with Taiutsu, which Itachi only blocked. He didn't even fight back. He was just trying to stall for a little while. The charade went on for 15 minutes before Naru decided to say something to Itachi. I need to speak to you in person. Naru told him as she jumped away from him and created clones that surrounded him. She say his finger twitch and realized he said a genjutsu. Before she dispelled it, he spoke. In two months, I am meeting with a contact in a village a day's journey northwest of Konaha. I wait 3 days for you. Itachi said, "Okay, I'll be there," Naru said with a smile. "Why don't you finish this fight?" Itachi said with a smirk. "Gladly," Naru said, dispelling the genjutsu. All her clones formed resendons and slammed them into Itachi. "I forgot to tell you that smirk is why on you." Naru whispered before the possession jutsu ended and saw Itachi's eyes widen. Once it was all over, Naru turned to everyone else with an uchiha smirk on her face. "Well, are we going to go or what?" Naru asked. Everyone took off to where they would find Gar. Soon after they got their team guy arrived as backup. Totally canon, except of course Naru is a girl. After saving Gar, Naru sat next to him having an internal conversation with the Caillou. Isn't there anything you can do? Naru asked. Sorry kid, but this is beyond my power. Kaobi replied. If he was only on the brink of death, I could save him, but he is completely dead. This isn't fair. He always get the short stick, Naru said as she started to cry. I always had it bad, but Gar had it worst. No one was there for him. He was always betrayed. It's<unk> not fair. He just got ahead of all the bad. He is loved by his village. There has to be something that can be done. Maybe, but as much as I hate to admit it, I am powerless in this situation. Caillou said, "I understand. I'm just glad you were willing to help. Naru said as she exited the conversation. Just then, Sakura, Chio, and team Guy showed up. Sakura looked sadly at Naru. Is there anything that can be done? Sakura asked. No, Naru said dejectedly. Caillou was willing to help, but even he can't revive the dead. I'm completely useless to help him. It's<unk> not fair. He finally reached his goals. It shouldn't end like this. By now, Naru was crying. I know a jutsu that could save him, but I'm the only one who can use it. Chio said, "Why?" Naru asked, though her tears, "You don't<unk>t even care anymore." "You made me realize what we did in the past was wrong." Chio stated, "I want to fix one of those mistakes by saving Garasama." Naru nodded, and by the time Gar was saved, it seemed as if the whole village had shown up. "Welcome back, Aniki," Naru said as she helped him stand. "How?" Gar asked, "Still a little groggy from dying." Chio used a jutsu to save you. Naru said, "She's just resting." Naru<unk>s voice broke on the last word, causing Gar to study Chio. He just nodded his head on understanding and waited for the crowd to stop cheering for his safe return. "I wish to thank everyone for their help in my return," Gar said. "Now, however, let us take a moment of silence for Chio Obaza." A respectful hush filled the crowd. Afterwards, everyone returned to Sunna where the teams from Konaha rested up. It was breakfast the second day when Naru was finally able to join the team. Naru, my youthful friend, where have you been? Lee asked as soon as she entered the room. Yeah, Naru, we haven't seen you at all. You didn't even come to the guest quarters to sleep. Where were you? Tenton asked. Sorry guys, I used my quarters at the Case Cage mansion. Naru said scratching the back of her head. You have rooms at the Case Cage mansion. Sakura screeched. Kakashi guy and Nei also looked curious. Of course, why wouldn't I? Naru asked. Why don't you explain because I think we are missing information. Kakashi said, "Besides, you seem to get more respect than just any foreign ninja." "That's because here I'm a Suna Junan, seeing as the case cage couldn't have a jennon as his guard." Naru said, "I think Aeros Senan already told Ba Chan all this. I thought only citizens could become shinobi of hidden villages. Sakura asked as Naru sat at the table. I guess I should start at the beginning. Naru said with a sigh. About a month after I left Konaha Sen and we heard Suna was giving Gar a hard time because he wanted to be Case Cage. Case cages are chosen different in Suna. Then we choose the Hokag. Not that many outside the village know that it's a line of succession like in Kumo. Tamari was the successor, but seeing as Gar wanted to be Case Cage, she declined as did Conqueroro. However, they wanted to deny Gar because he used to be unstable. So, Aeros Sennin came to see if he could fix Gar's seal. Seal for what? Tenton asked. Naru saw equally confused looks on Nei and Lee faces. So, she made a signal with her hand and an ambu appeared next to her. She whispered something and he took off in a swirl of sand. A couple minutes later, he reappeared with a nod. Have you heard of Genturiki? Naru asked getting shaken heads from the younger members of team Guy and Sakura. Not surprising seeing Konaha has kept a tight lipped about our own. Naru, are you sure about this? Kakashi asked with concern. Even Guy was showing some concern. It's<unk> fine, Naru said. Besides, they should know anyway what with the Akatsuki. Naru turned back toward her friends to continue her story. Anyway, there are nine-tailed beasts, just so you know. And the number of tails signifies how powerful they are. One is the weakest and nine the most powerful. Follow so far. She received nods. Okay. While no human can defeat these beasts, so another means of controlling them was needed. Wait. Neither spoke up. We have all been taught the fourth killed the ninetailed fox that attacked the village. Yeah, that was a lie. Naru said, "I was getting there. Anyway, the only way to control the beast was to seal them away inside of living beings, thus creating genturiki. It works best if sealed inside of newborns as their chakra coils have not formed yet. That is what Gar's seal was for. What about the nine tales? If what you're saying is true, then why was there never any mention of a genturi on Konaha? Nei asked. I'll explain that later, but for now, let's get back to my Sunna status. Anyway, once Aeros Sen fixed Gar's seal, Gar had more control over himself and the one tail sealed inside of him was no longer driving him slowly insane. However, the council was considering his distant cousin who was far older. So, in a power play, the Sububaku siblings asked if they could adopt me as a way to form an allegiance to Konaha and make it so one of them would have to be Case Cage. I of course agreed cuz I love screwing with people stuck in the old ways. It just hinders the growth of future shinobi. All I had to do was convince Ba Chan to agree, which she did. So, you're also a Sunna citizen. Sakura clarified. Yes, it was one of the terms of my adoption. Naru said, "It is also an inspoken rule that the Case Cage's siblings are part of their guard. So, Gar instated me as a Sunna Jun. However, as his sister, I have the right to order Anbu, and I also have my own squad that is under my direct control. Doesn't that cause any conflicts of interest seeing as you are first to Konaha Shinobi? Kakashi asked. Not at all, seeing as my job as a joint Shinobi is to ensure that both villages are on peaceful terms. Naru said, meaning as long as I'm around Sunna and Konaha will always be allied, which will keep peace and not get smaller countries caught up in a useless and pointless war. Naru smiled brilliantly. I think that covers everything. Naru, my youthful friend. I am impressed with your P E A C F U L L Y youthful flames. Lee shouted with tears streaming down his face. I agree with my youthful pupil Lee. Guy sensei said turning to embrace Lee. Guy sensei. That's all for now. If you enjoy then please like, share and do comments.
