Future Walker(Fem Naruto x Harem)

seventy one

Naruko grins as she slams her body against Sasuke only for that Sasuke to poof into smoke, and the real one to appear from above, three kunais thrown down aiming for her arms and legs, Naruko dodged and once Sasuke once on the ground he ran forward and the two exchanged a bit of hand to hand combat before resorting back to exchanging weaponry and then jutsus

Kakashi and Itachi were watching while eating Dango. "They have come along way" Kakashi said observantly, as Naruko sent a particularly hard kick to Sasuke's stomach sending him flying to the air, but Sasuke managed to flip to his side and land onto his two feet, smirking smugly

"That is true, especially Naruko and Sasuke. Sasuke has lost that arrogance of his and that 'I am better than you in every way' attitude, and Naruko has returned wiser, stronger, and.." he paused as he watched Naruko laugh as her shadow clones surrounded Sasuke. "more beautiful than ever"

A few hours of training later Sasuke and Naruko, covered in sweat, stopped their sparring and looked over at Kakashi and Itachi, who were walking towards them with a water bottle.

Sasuke and Naruko took heavy gulps. "I never knew water could taste so good" Sasuke said with a heavy breath. Naruko smirked "Guess I really tired you out huh Sas? And here I thought after five years you'd have improved" She shrugged "No surprise, even after five years I'm still stronger"

"Hey! Don't give me that bullshit! You may have trained with a sannin but my training with Kakashi and Anko was nothing to be looked down on Naruko!" Sasuke said with a scowl. "Kakashi is the former student of the fourth Hokage and Anko is the former student of the snake Sannin-" he paused, as if remembering a bad memory and shuddered in disgust "Orochimaru" he said that name in disgust, practically spitting it out

Naruko couldn't blame him. Orochimaru was creepy as hell. Good thing she killed him.

"Yeah yeah I know, I was just teasing" Naruko pressed herself against Sasuke's arm. "I know how far you've gone from that boy you were before, you're much stronger, more smarter, and I noticed your reflexes have improved as well, a stark contrast to how you were five years ago, and you weren't even using the Sharingan"

"I can't rely on the Sharingan for every fight" Sasuke said scoffing.

"Hm" Naruko kissed his cheek, causing Sasuke's scowl to soften, just a bit. "Let's go get ramen!" Naruko said, leading her mates out of the training fields.

After eating ramen and enjoying it IMMENSELY, Naruko, Sasuke, Kakashi and Itachi were heading home, but Naruko fell back and told her mates to go on without her. "I forgot to pick up something Ino said she wanted to give me" she said. Sasuke raised a brow but none of them questioned her, they walked ahead.

Naruko's smile fell and once she was alone she jumped out of the way, pulled out her kunai and grabbed the back of the man's collar, slamming them against the wall. "You're not a very good assassin so I'm guessing you're not a ninja" she said with a bored stare.

The man was dressed in a black and grey kimono, and was clutching a butcher knife. Naruko smelled liquor on him.

"Who are you?" She asked, wondering if killing this idiot would be worth her time. "You...killed my son!" The man gasped. "What?" Naruko's eyes widened in confusion and surprised.

"Five years ago,..my son was courting you, expressing his love for you strongly, but you kept rejecting him because he was older than you by three years" he glared at her hatefully. "But because he wouldn't leave you alone you killed him! I found his body hacked to pieces in his room!" He raised his knife and tried to bring it down on her, but Naruko caught it with her free hand

"What did your son look like?" She asked, racking her brain for the number of assaulters, harassers, she has to deal with every day. She doesn't always result to killing, matter of fact she only kills when pushed too far. Once, a teenager tried to rape her in a back alley while her guard was down when she was twelve, she bit off his neck and he bled to death.

Maybe that was the son?

"He had brown hair and brown eyes, and a scar on his cheek" the man answered glaring at her.

Ah, she remembers now. But that boy wasn't 'courting' her as this man has so gently put it, he, like seventy or eighty percent of Konoha, took one look at her and his eyes became clouded with lust. He tried to pay her to have sex with him, or even for just one oral job, or for her to allow him to lick her legs

Kakashi happened to be nearby. She didn't have to lift a finger. HE dealt with the disgusting animal. So, it wasn't HER fault this man's son is dead.

Kakashi killed him.

But it was entirely that boy's own doing.

"I did not kill your son" Naruko said strongly, letting the man go and dropping him to the ground, the man coughed for air.

"Someone else did. And I think your son deserved it. I was only twelve years old and he wanted me to perform immoral acts with him, he was lusting after a twelve year old girl's body and even tried to pay. Yes I know there is the law that states that once a 'child' graduates from the academy and becomes a ninja then no matter what age they are seen as adults, but that law only appllies to NINJAS, not CIVILIANS" she said glaring down at the man

"You lie! Demon whore!" The man tries to pick up the knife but she kicked it away.

"I'm not lying but I don't care if you believe me or not. You're not worth my time. I pity you enough to let you live with all your limbs intact, you're just a grieving father after all" she said before walking away

"DEMON!" the man screamed, picking up the knife and running towards her, knife poised to strike. Naruko didn't think twice before she raised her leg and slammed her foot against the man's stomach once he was near enough, he coughed blood, his eyes rolling to the back of his head, before landing on his back, unconscious.

Naruko looked down at the man.

She didn't feel any malice for him, just genuine pity.

Without another word she went home.

Grey clouds floated above Konoha, a clear indication it was going to rain. Naruko has been back in the village for two months now. Her team which consists of her, Sasuke and Kakashi is now called team Kakashi rather than the former team seven.

They took a picture together at the bridge, their usual meeting spot, to commemorate this, Sasuke and Kakashi on either side of her, and Naruko posing just like how Sakura posed. "How cruel of you, posing the same way she did in your past photo as if to replace her" Kurama chuckled.

She didn't answer, just smiled that so 'innocent' smile.

"Excuse me" an old woman wearing ragged clothes and a hood half covering her face approached her, in her arms was a basket of apples, green and red. They would have looked delicious, if they not have..a few rotting spots on them. "Could you please be a sweet, merciful girl and buy some of my apples? Or even just one" she said with a low, raspy voice.

Naruko eyed the apples, and then the old woman, she felt sorry for her. "Sure! I'll buy one" she said, eyeing each apple to see which one wasn't too rotten and was edible enough.

"I'm guessing you haven't sold enough huh?" She tried to joke

"No, no one has been buying any" the old woman said with a pitiful sigh.

"Well that shouldn't come as a surprise considering the apples she is selling are half rotting" Naruko thought.

Then her eyes landed on an apple that stood out from the rest, it was big, shiny, and looked very delicious. It was out of place from the other apples, as if it was placed there for the sole purpose of making it stand out to catch attention.

Naruko picked it up and paid a hefty sum to the old woman, even added an extra as a 'tip' before walking away, biting into the red apple and savoring it's deliciousness.

The old woman carefully watched her back
