Naruko

Episode Six

A cloaked figure walked to the gates of Konoha. Bright blonde hair and sea blue eyes shining. The figure looked up at the gates. "Are you ready to welcome me back, Konoha?"

****†****†****†****†****†****†****†***

A knock sounded on the doors of the Hokage's office. The tired old man looked up and gave a brief "Come in" before he and his clones got back to work. He missed the little girl who always came in asking questions. He missed the little girl that could brighten his day with a few words. He missed Naruko.

The door opened and in walked a cloaked girl that could be no older than 12 but with the assets of an adult. Hiruzen blushed slightly but forced it down. "Ojii-sama! Did you miss me the past eight years?" The figure asked. She took off her cloak to show long blonde hair with red tips pulled into pigtails and sea blue eyes that could bring sunlight into your life in an instant. "Naruko-san?!" Hiruzen asked disbelievingly, his eyes widening. "Yep! I have so much to tell you Ojii-sama!" Naruko said, getting out the books she wrote in about her past years of traveling.

"Or you could just read about it. I don't feel like talking right now. I just want to go to my father's compound and sleep." Naruko said, setting the books on his desk. Naruko then made shadow clones to separate the papers.

"Now it should be easier. Just have each of your clones focus on the needed knowledge and you can focus on giving out missions. Problem of paperwork, solved!"

Naruko then walked out of the building headed to the Namikaze compound. Hiruzen smiled. "The Sunshine of Konoha has returned."

Naruko walked forward to see the doors of her father's compound. She gulped but kept walking. Kurama... Naruko thought quietly to the fox demon. What kit? Asked Kurama sleepily, as he had just woken up from a nap. I...I don't think I should do this said Naruko as she looked at the doors. What if I can't get in? What of the villagers claim that I broke in? What if they still hate me? What if they hate me even more if they found out? What if they try to take my dōjutsu and give it to that Uchiha? Asked Naruko. And here I thought you were done asking questions. The fox muttered to himself. Naruko heard and started pouting.

You'll get in because of your blood, the villagers can take it up with the old man, if they hate you still I will personally kill them, if they hate you more I will torture them, and if they try to take away your dōjutsu it will deactivate and you will get your eyes back in a few hours. If they try to put you in the CRA then Gaara will kill the whole village. Problem solved. Kurama said. Naruko giggled and went into the mansion.

She was awed by the space and beauty, but pushed it down as she searched for her room. When she found it, she only see pink. That was to be expected as Minato and Kushina died right after she was born. She looked at the room and burst into tears. Her parents truly did love her. And even if she did only have Kurama, she was happy. Happy to be loved.

Naruko sighed as she looked at the doors of the noisy classroom she would be in for the next few days. "Troublesome..." Naruko muttered. In the classroom she heard a sneeze. Naruko opened, more like slammed, the doors open. "Alright you baby faced degenerates! It's time for all of you to shut the hell up and listen to Iruka! Oh, and for me to talk to the once upon a time favorite person. Iruka! I needa talk to ya!" She yelled in the ear of the said person who, mind you, was standing right next to her. "Naruko-san. Please do not yell in my ear. I need them you know." Iruka said tiredly. "Oh. Right. By the way..." Naruko trailed off. She motioned Iruka closer.

"HOW THE HELL COULD YOU NOT FUCKING TELL ME ABOUT MY HERITAGE!" She yelled in his ear. "IT'S NOT EVERY FUCKING DAY A GIRL LEARNS THAT SHE'S THE DAUGHTER OF IMPORTANT FUCKING PEOPLE! BE HAPPY I'M NOT IN THE FUCKING MOOD TO HUMILIATE YOUR ASS IN FRONT OF YOUR OWN STUDENTS!"

Naruko smiled and turned back to the class, a now calm aura surrounding her. "Hello everyone. My names Naruko Uzumaki-Namikaze and I hope we can all be friends. But try to dig into my social life and trust me I'll make your lives a living Hell. I hope to become close to all of you and work with all of you in the near future."

"Right. Um, any questions?" Iruka asked, gaining his composure. "That was a question my dear." Naruko said sweetly. Iruka shivered at her tone. Ignoring her, the class raised their hands, all of them begging to dig into her social life.

Sighing, Naruko picked the girl she remembered as Sakura. "Why are you starting so late? We're about to finish this year." Sakura said. "Well, I don't feel like telling you of all people. So I'll just tell ya something. I signed up late." Naruko said as she got out a book on S-Class fuinjutsu. She numbly pointed to Ino. "Is there a reason why you signed up late? We haven't seen you around the village since we were five." Ino said. Naruko looked up from her book for less than a second before looking back down. "I see no reason in telling you this. You also need to work on your spying skills. Your making it too obvious." She said boredly. Ino grew a tick mark.

Naruko pointed to Shikamaru. "How come we haven't seen you around the village?" Asked Shikamaru. "Meet me after school." Naruko said briefly. Numbly, she pointed to the duckass. "Why are you taking the Yondaime's surname? Someone like you could never be of the same blood as him." Duckass said. "Duckass, do not base your interpretations on appearances. I can assure you that I am my father's daughter. If you do not believe me, you can ask the current Hokage." Naruko said blandly.

"You can't talk to Sasuke-kun like that!" Sakura and Ino yelled at the same time. "I just did." Naruko said smirking. Her amusement was clear in her voice. Kurama was laughing in her mind scape. "I think that's enough questions for today. Naruko you can sit next to Sasuke." Iruka said. Naruko glared at the seat then walked up the stairs to the kid sitting next to Hinata. "Naruko. No breaking the next generation of ninja." Iruka said tiredly. "Why?" Asked Naruko. "They're gonna break anyway. And kid. Move."

The boy sitting in the seat nodded and frantically gathered his things as he ran to a different seat. "Hello Hina-chan!" Naruko said brightly, taking the now empty seat. "H-hello, Naruko-san. How are you?" Asked a blushing Hinata.

(No Hinata is not lesbian. Not now, not ever!!)

The class went on with Naruko and Hinata talking and Naruko telling Hinata to stay after class.

****†****†****†****†****†****†****†***

After class Hinata and Shikamaru stayed after class as asked. And, um, told. "Naruko, why did you want us to stay?" Shikamaru asked. Naruko looked at them unmoving. She then ran at them and locked them into a hug. "Thank you. For being true friends to me, all those years ago." Naruko whispered. "Your w-welcome, Naruko-san." Hinata whispered back. "Troublesome." Shikamaru said, trying to get out of the hug.

Naruko let go and looked at them. "Hina-chan, you've grown. Shika-kun, your the same as the day I meet you."

"Hey! Oh forget it." Shikamaru muttered. Naruko laughed and Hinata giggled. The rest of the afternoon was doesn't with the the catching up and Naruko helping Hinata get over her stuttering problem.
