Death Goddess

"Naru-chan!"

Naruto froze, not because she didn't know Hashirama was behind her, but because of the name.

It was too..eh..cutesy? Yes, too cutesy for her. It made her shiver

"Oi, don't call me that Stalker-kun" she stated turning around to face Hashirama Senju.

Oh, yeah she found out Hashirama was a Senju when she stalked him three days ago.

"Please stop calling me stalker" Hashirama pleaded

Naruto crossed her arms with a devious look "Then become my slave"

"No" Hashirama deadpanned

"It was worth a shot," Naruto nonchalantly shrugged, "Anyways wanna train with me?"

Hashirama looked hesitant, "Train?"

"Yep, Madara's been prissy lately and won't fight me 'cause I always kick the stick further up his ass" Naruto grinned, "So I need a new victim"

"Rules?" Hashirama asked, although Naruto's a girl he knew that if Naruto really did beat Madara she'd be a challenge.

"Hmm, no Genjutsu. I hate Genjutsu. Everything else is fair game"

"Alright"

Hashirama jumped when another Naruto suddenly popped into existence wearing an elegant blue kimono, "Is it solid?" he murmured in awe, his eyes practically saving the image (not that sort of image, sick pervert) of actually seeing a solid clone, "Where did you learn that?" he asked

"From my family guardian"

Hashirama could sense that Naruto wasn't speaking the whole truth, but she wasn't lying either, so he nodded at her.

"Namikaze isn't a clan though" he should know, he checked with his father when they had a private training session.

Naruto shrugged, "My father was a war orphan, so I'm not sure about anything that has to do with the family name Namikaze, all I know is that it's my right to claim myself as a Namikaze"

Hashirama let the information sink in

"In this corner we have, the brilliant, amazing, Hashirama! And in the other corner we have the dashing, breathtaking, powerful, strongest woman, expert in various arts but master of none, she's Naruto Namikaze!"

Hashirama could only blink as even more Naruto's popped into existent, heck even seats appeared out of nowhere along with a stadium filled with Naruto, some male, some female. Some dressed in devil girl costume cheering loudly.

"The winner will receive the grand price of learning one secret of the other" the referee whispered dramatically to the crowd who all 'ooohhed'

"Wait, what?" Hashirama sputtered

"Did I stutter?" the referee grumbled crossing her arms

"A secret of the other, it seems fair, right? Or are you too scared? Giving up against a woman?" Naruto goaded on with a smirk.

"No way, I'm not backing down" a nervous Hashirama mumbled glancing around

"I'd like to treat this as a strategic retreat considering you're a powerhouse"

"Awww!" the audience consisting of only Naruto spoke in unison before disappearing, "Waste of my money", "And he calls himself a man", "Che, I came all the way from the West"

Naruto chuckled at the comments her clones gave before disappearing.

"How are you even still standing?" Hashirama asked narrowing his eyes on Naruto

Naruto yawned, "I just have big reserves, okay? We're all entitled to keep some secrets to ourselves"

Reluctantly Hashirama nodded

"Wanna start mastering your element?"

"Sure" Hashirama was sure Naruto knew what she was doing after all

Naruto grinned at him, "Wow, you agreed easier than Madara did. Anyways, I'm going to teach you how to make a clone, you'll only make one until I say you can make more, okay?"

"Okay, but what does clones have to do with my element?"

"Solid clones are special, they'll help you master your affinity quicker, trust me. Wait and you'll see why"

Her chakra didn't give away that she was lying, only that she was telling the truth. But now that Hashirama thinks about it, Naruto's chakra distantly felt like Senju...very distantly. It was almost unnoticeable.

"Hey, Naru-chan? Do you know more about your family?"

Naruto blinked at him, "Tell me about yours first!"

"Uhh..."

"No need for clan name, besides I already know you're a Senju"

Hashirama tensed, his eyes widening "How?"

"I followed you that day"

Hashirama couldn't help but feel cheated as his eyes narrowed on Naruto, how could her chakra still be so warm and welcoming after she shamelessly confessed to violating his privacy?

"Don't get your panties in a twist, it was just supposed to be payback for when you stalked me and Madara, but I ended up discovering a major secret, eh next head? Anyways, I won't tell Madara."

"..you won't?" Hashirama asked faltering slightly, how come the blond was being so cooperative?

Naruto nodded, "You'll tell him yourself eventually"

Hashirama's face morphed in confusion

"After all you can't consider yourself his friend if you can't even trust him with your clan name, and likewise he can't consider you a friend if he doesn't accept it" oddly enough Naruto sounded wise

At first Hashirama thought Naruto was air-headed enough to give out her family name without any reserve, but in truth could it be that she considered herself he and Madara's friend so easily enough to give her last name? And here he was being suspicious of her when she had plenty of opportunities to kill him or exploit his status, yet she merely welcomed him in her group consisting of her and Madara, and she merely cheered him and Madara on when they would spar.

"My mother is ill, and thus she stays mostly in her room, but she likes to stroll in the forest from time to time" Hashirama began speaking, "My father is strict, I disagree with most of his beliefs, but at the end of the day he is still my father. Only two of my brothers are still alive, Itama and Tobirama. Tobirama's a bit of a loner, but he's a bit of a mother hen too. Itama's...he's slowly beginning to think like my clan does" here Hashirama sighed heavily

Naruto luckily didn't press on "I have amnesia, so I don't remember much. All I know is that my father's side was completely Namikaze, and my mother came from a clan."

Hashirama nodded at the short story, "Does-"

"No, Madara doesn't know. I want to tell him myself, okay?"

She kept his secret, so he'll keep hers "Okay"

"Is Tobi-kun training hard?" Naruto asked with a mischief tone

"Who?"

"Tobirama"

Hashirama was confused at the question, but he nodded anyways "He's been working on his speed and ninjutsu more lately"

Naruto seemed to perk up, "And his Kenjutsu?"

"He's up all dawn practicing" Hashirama automatically answered, "How do you know he practices Kenjutsu?"

"Silly, I'm Tobi-kun's rival"

"...and I'm an Uchiha" Hashirama blankly said

"You are?!" Naruto gasped in surprise

Hashirama could only facepalm, "It means I don't believe you"

"Just tell Tobi-kun that Naruto says hi, okay?"

Hashirama nodded, not like it would kill him if he did something simple like that.
