The morning sun streamed through the window of the Uzumaki house bedroom, gently rousing Anko from her slumber. She yawned groggily, blinking her eyes open and stretching as she reluctantly emerged from the comfort of her bed.
Anko: (yawning) "Well, time to make breakfast."
As she got up and removed the bedsheet, it became apparent that she was only wearing her underwear, leaving her shirtless. Anko didn't mind the early morning breeze caressing her exposed skin as she enjoyed letting her assets breathe. She stretched, showcasing her impressive bust, before getting out of bed and making her way to the kitchen.
As she walked through the hallway, still yawning, she noticed that Naruko's bedroom door was open but the room was empty.
Anko: "Where is she?"
Worried, Anko descended the stairs and scanned the living room, but Naruko wasn't there. She checked the kitchen, but still no sign of her. Finally, she decided to investigate the basement, which had the door open and the lights on.
Heading down the stairs, Anko found Naruko engrossed in reading some of Kushina's journal entries and fuinjutsu notes. A warm smile spread across her face as she saw her adopted daughter, with her hair down, looking like a spitting image of her mother, albeit with golden blonde hair and whisker marks.
Anko: "Hey, little gaki, what are you doing?"
Naruko: "Oh hey, Mom. I'm just reading some of my mom's history books about Uzushiogakure. I'm still surprised by how amazing my clan was with fuinjutsu, but there's something bothering me."
Anko grew curious about what was bothering her adopted daughter.
Anko: "What is it, Naruko?"
Naruko: "Well, if Mom knew about Uzushiogakure's fall, why didn't she try to find the rest of the clan survivors?"
Anko pondered the question. Naruko had a point, and it was something that had always struck her as odd. She remembered Kushina sharing stories about their clan but had stopped abruptly, offering no explanation when asked about it.
Anko: "You're right; it is weird."
Naruko: "I guess it's up to me to revive my clan."
Naruko knelt on her knees, her exposed breasts swaying gently. Anko ruffled her adopted daughter's hair.
Anko: "Who are you going to revive it with?"
Naruko: "Don't know, definitely not the Emo Uchiha."
Anko: "Why not the Emo Uchiha?"
Naruko: "Fuck no! Like I'd ever end up with him!"
Anko dismissed the comment, thinking it was just a typical teenager's disdain for someone they disliked. She encouraged Naruko but warned her about the challenges of reviving the Uzumaki clan.
Anko: "Reviving your clan won't be easy; it's not like you can grow them back like plants. I'm going to make breakfast. Don't spend too much time here reading unless you want to turn into a bookworm like the pink banshee."
Naruko snorted at the joke as Anko left the basement. However, as she continued reading, Naruko's thoughts took a different turn. She recalled Anko's comment about growing the Uzumaki clan like plants and her clan's mastery of fuinjutsu. The idea struck her like lightning, and a sinister yet brilliant smile spread across her face. She started cackling maniacally, a sign that she had come up with an audacious plan.
Training ground
Naruko was in the training ground, honing her skills with intense determination. She wielded her mother's sword in her left hand and the Belmont whip in her right. With incredible agility and precision, she performed intricate acrobatics, spinning and slashing her blade through the air. The whip, an extension of her will, moved with incredible speed, striking out like a serpent.
She demonstrated remarkable control over her chakra, channeling it through the whip, causing it to crack like thunder as it struck the wooden surface of the training dummies. With a focused burst of chakra, she unleashed a powerful strike that sent a shockwave through the air, shattering the wooden target into splinters.
Naruko's training was a breathtaking display of skill and power. She pushed her limits, determined to become even stronger and more formidable, all while honoring her mother's legacy through her relentless pursuit of excellence.
Naruko's mid-neck length plum-colored hair was damp with sweat as she continued her intense training. Her attire, a multi-colored overcoat layered over a black top with pale red stripes and matching short-shorts, showcased her distinctive style. She also wore indigo leggings to complete her outfit.
As she practiced, sweat trickled down her toned abdomen, a testament to the effort she was putting into her training. Suddenly, she sensed another presence nearby. With a fierce expression, she called out, her voice laced with determination and a hint of annoyance.
Naruko: "You can come out, mutt!"
Naruko exclaimed, her sharp gaze scanning the area. She had detected the scent of an Inuzuka, and she knew it wasn't Kiba.
Naruko: "Isn't the mutt's sister?"
she added, her words making her unseen observer growl in response.
Hana Inuzuka stepped out from her hiding place, her expression a mix of concern and anger as she confronted Naruko about the earlier fight with her brother, Kiba.
Hana: "Naruko,"
Hana began, her voice stern,
Hana: "I saw what you did to my brother. He's injured and in pain because of you."
Naruko turned to face Hana, her eyes meeting the Inuzuka's gaze. She maintained her confident demeanor, ready to defend her actions.
Naruko: "He asked for a fight,"
Naruko replied firmly, her tone unapologetic.
Naruko: "And he was trying to rile me up. It's not my fault he lost. Your so-called sensei has him convinced he's some kind of alpha. He brought this on himself."
Hana's anger flared as Naruko defended her actions, but before she could react, the situation took a sudden and unexpected turn. In the blink of an eye, Naruko disappeared from where she had been standing, leaving Hana momentarily stunned.
It was then that Hana felt a sharp, pointy object pressing against her throat. Her eyes widened as she turned to see Naruko standing behind her, a kunai held with precision against her skin. The shock of the situation sent a shiver down Hana's spine.
As she gazed into Naruko's eyes, she saw something unsettling. They were devoid of the warmth and life she had expected. Instead, they were cold and calculating, like those of an apex predator. Hana realized that she had underestimated the young Uzumaki, and the gravity of the situation began to sink in.
Hana swallowed nervously, the kunai at her throat serving as a stark reminder that Naruko was not to be underestimated. She knew she had to tread carefully.
Hana: (Nervously) "Alright, Naruko. I get it. You made your point."
Naruko didn't respond immediately, but after a moment, she withdrew the kunai and took a step back. Her expression remained unreadable, and the tension in the air lingered.
Naruko: (Coldly) "Remember that next time."
With that, Naruko turned and walked away, leaving Hana to contemplate the encounter and the chilling presence she had just witnessed.
Ichiraku ramen
Naruko was walking up to the ramen shop when Ayame saw her, gasped, and smiled.
Ayame: "So it's true, you changed, you look amazing Naruko!"
Naruko chuckled and sat down, ready to order.
Naruko: "Thank you, Ayame."
Teuchi came around, his expression one of surprise.
Teuchi: "Naruko, is that you?"
Naruko: "Yep."
Teuchi: "You look beautiful, finally grown up, unless my memory is failing me."
Naruko: (giggling) "No, your memory is alright. Let's just say some revelations about my clans gave me a wake-up call."
Teuchi and Ayame froze when she said this.
Ayame: (worried) "So you know-"
Naruko: "That you guys knew who my parents were, yep. I was upset at first."
Both father and daughter showed sad expressions, but Naruko gave a small smile.
Naruko: "I don't blame you. You guys were the first people to give me food that wasn't rotten or poisoned. I don't blame you."
Ayame's eyes watered with a smile, happy that the girl she cared about didn't hate them. She went to give her a big hug.
Ayame: (smiling) "So, how do you feel now that you know who your parents are?"
Naruko: "My mother. Reading her journal, I'm amazed. My mother's clan was powerful, but it's saddening it was wiped out in the second war. Still, there's a mystery behind the fall of my mother's clan. Then I found out I'm a fucking princess."
Ayame: "Well, you certainly dress like one."
Naruko: "One, I'm not a damsel in distress, and second, I look hot and super badass like my mother."
Ayame: "You sound exactly like her."
Naruko: "Thanks. I even found out from my mother's family tree that we're descended from people from other worlds."
Ayame: (surprised) "You mean like an alien?"
Naruko: "What? No, I mean other humans from other dimensions. They're called the Belmont clan."
Ayame: "So, you are Naruko Nam-"
Naruko: (frowning) "No. I'm not using that bastard's name. He's the reason my childhood was a living hell; he chose the village over his own daughter. I will only be Naruko Uzumaki Belmont because I will make my father's name be forgotten in history."
Ayame: (surprised) "Wow."
Naruko: "Yeah."
Ayame: "Well, 5 bowls?"
Naruko: (smiling) "Yes, I'm hungry."
Ayame: "Got it, coming right up."
While Ayame went to the back to prepare Naruko's ramen, they didn't notice someone eavesdropping; it was Sakura. She was shocked to see Naruko and her changed appearance. Naruko was more than just an orphan and princess of a clan; she was also related to another clan from another dimension. As Sakura, being a delusional fangirl, believed Naruko was lying to get her Sasuke-kun. She quickly decided to tell her mother about this, who was part of the civilian council. But the pink-haired girl didn't know she was messing with the wrong person.
Hyuuga District
Naruko entered the district and saw the guards, who stopped her.
Hyuuga Guard: "Halt."
Hyuuga Guard #2: "What do you want, demon?"
Naruko showed no expression, releasing a bit of killing intent that caused both guards to drop to their knees, gasping for air. She walked past them and said,
Naruko: "Just here to visit Hinata-chan."
Naruko entered the building to find Hinata sitting near a pond with ducks and baby ducks swimming in it.
Naruko: "Hey Hinata-chan."
Hinata turned around and saw her best friend.
Hinata: "Hello Naruko-chan. What brings you here?"
Naruko sat next to the Hyuuga princess.
Naruko: (sighing) "Came to see how you were doing and also to tell you something about my fight with Neji."
This caught Hinata's attention.
Naruko: "Hinata, I know you'll ask me not to hurt him, but I can't. I know he may be your cousin, but he blames me for things I don't know about. I need you to tell me his history and his hatred toward you."
Hinata: (sighing, looking down sadly) "I will tell you."
After Hinata told her the Hyuuga history of the birdcage and the Hyuuga incident, Naruko closed her eyes and sighed, analyzing the situation.
Naruko: "Hinata-chan. (sighing) I understand the situation, but I have to be honest. Your clan is a bunch of fucking dumbasses."
This caught the princess off guard.
Naruko: "You were 3 years old; what the fuck were you expected to do? Basically, what happened to Neji's father wasn't your fault; it was Konoha's and the Hyuuga council's choice. It's stupid. Another village fuck-up. The more I find out about their fuck-ups, the more I question how this place is still standing."
She looked at her best friend with a serious face.
Naruko: "I'm going to beat Neji's ass to a pulp until he learns his lesson, and I'm sorry, Hinata, but your words will not go through to me. I hope you understand."
Hinata looked down sadly and nodded, understanding her best friend's choice. She stood up and prepared to leave.
Naruko: "See you later, Hinata-chan."
Naruko used Shunshin to disappear.
Training ground 7
Naruko was sitting on a training dummy, reading a scroll when she calmly spoke.
Naruko: "You can all come out; I know you're all watching me."
Shikamaru emerged from behind a tree, scratching his head and grumbling.
Shikamaru: "Troublesome blond, how did you know we were here?"
Naruko: (still reading her scroll) "I'm a sensor. I could sense you all the way back to the village, while you were waiting for Ino for an hour to come out of her house."
This shocked Shikamaru and disturbed him a bit, realizing Naruko's sensory ability was something not to be taken lightly. The rest of the rookies came out from their hiding places: Choji, Ino, Sakura. Naruko saw them and sensed Sakura's emotions—anger towards her. She calmly closed her scroll, inhaled some air, and sighed.
Naruko: "If I'm right, Sakura convinced you all to come here because of something about me changing. And Ino, you're here because of some stupid delusional lie about me stealing the teme from you, right?"
She asked with a fierce glare at the Yamanaka, who flinched because Naruko was 100% right.
Naruko: "Sakura, I haven't talked to you for many days, and you come only to bitch at me. What's wrong? Angry you couldn't find your precious Sasuke-kun?"
Everybody was shocked by Naruko's vulgar words, while Sakura screamed like a high-pitched dog with rabies.
Sakura: "Naruko, you baka! I know you changed your style and appearance to attract Sasuke-kun!"
Naruko: "The reason I changed is that I wanted to, not to hurt your fragile ego that's as big as your forehead."
Ino snorted, and Sakura's jaw dropped at the insult. Naruko put her scroll away and began to leave.
Naruko: "I don't have time to waste."
Shikamaru: "Naruko, wait! We need some answers."
Naruko stopped and turned to Shikamaru with a raised brow, scoffing.
Naruko: "You... want answers from me?"
Shikamaru: "Yes, is what Sakura says true, that you come from a clan?"
Naruko: "Yes. Why? Is there a problem? Is it because that brain of yours is curious about my clan's story? Well, I won't talk, Shikamaru, no matter how much you want to know. So... fuck off."
Choji: "Naruko, we just want to know about the Uzumaki and Belmont clans."
Ino: "Not only that, you're a princess."
Naruko slowly turned to Sakura and growled, the sound more animal-like.
Naruko: "So, the pink banshee was spying on me at Ichiraku."
Sakura: "I have a right to know what secrets you hide. I doubt your mother was a princess, probably just a whore that spread her legs to any man."
That was it; a burst of chakra was released from Naruko's body, and they all felt the dense chakra emanating from her—it was enormous. Shikamaru was sweating and decided to use the Shadow Paralysis Jutsu, trapping Naruko's shadow.
Shikamaru: "Naruko, calm down."
Sakura: "How dare you threaten me, baka! My mother is on the civilian council! I can make her make your life a living hell if you do anything to me."
Naruko then gave a sadistic smile, one that would make Anko proud.
Uzumaki Residence
Anko was making dinner, stirring in the pot when suddenly,
Anko: "For some reason, I feel very proud."
Back to Naruko,
Naruko: (chuckling) "How cute, the little bitch thinks she's all big and strong. Let me show one of my clan's bloodline techniques."
Naruko then submerged into the shadow of Shikamaru's jutsu, leaving them all in shock. She merged into it with a smile. Shikamaru turned off his jutsu and looked around for where she went.
Ino: "I didn't know she's a Nara."
Shikamaru: (sweating) "She isn't. My clan can't do that."
Ino: "Then how?"
Naruko: (voice) "Because I'm just that unpredictable."
They all turned in Sakura's direction, where Naruko was behind her with a kunai pointed at her throat. Sakura was shocked and scared. They were shocked at how she got there. They were going to try something to stop her, but Naruko made a 'tic tic' noise.
Naruko: "Don't try it; my boys won't like it."
Shikamaru: "Boys?"
Then sounds of growling were heard; they turned their heads to see they were being watched by big wolves behind them. They didn't even see it coming. The wolves both had three dots on their foreheads of the opposite color that resembled the symbols of the Jewel of Turning Back on the Road and the Jewel of Plenty, respectively.
Naruko leaned in and whispered in Sakura's ear.
Naruko: "Go ahead and tell them what happened here. Tell the council that I'm going to put them in their place, and they will learn how to be treated like trash. I hope you do because I'm going to enjoy going through them."
Naruko let go of Sakura and kicked her in the butt as she fell forward to the ground. Naruko recalled her dogs as they went back into the shadows. Naruko then made a hand seal, but Shikamaru realized it was a hand seal he had never seen before; it was shadowgraphy. She clapped both her hands together to imitate the shape of wings.
Naruko: "Nue!"
Naruko's shadow behind her expanded, and a creature burst out—a large owl-like creature with orange feathers and a white mask-like skull. It had large wings, two sets of talons, and human-like teeth.
They were shocked to see the creature, and Nue grabbed Naruko by the shoulder, lifting her off the ground to fly away, leaving the rookies in shock.
Shikamaru: "What the hell was that?"
To be continued...
