I Give Up

Chapter 9

"So Naruto.... Aren't you going to remove your transformation Jutsu?" Iruka asked as they both washed the dishes, Naruto paused

"I thought you figured it out already, Iruka Sensei.... I turned into a girl. A real girl, yeah it sucks, especially when the time of the month visits" Naruto deadpanned, Iruka paused before he smirked

"Serves you right, its must be the God's punishing you for that ridiculous Jutsu you made" Iruka teased lightly making Naruto huffed

"Hey! That 'ridiculous' Jutsu knocked out many of my opponents! Including the funder of chakra, Ootsuki Kaguya! It created an opening for me to land a punch on her face! Not even Sasuke teme's dumb Sharinggan could do, ttebayo!" Naruto gloated, Iruka face faulted but sighed

"You knuckle head" He laughed lightly

"Hey, Iruka? Thank you" Naruto smiled

"It's no problem Naru imouto" Iruka smiled

Kurama sat down as she ate some dango, occasionally bite some on Itachi's. She could not help but feel like something is off, though she shrugged it off.

"Kaa chan, Tou san.... Some kids bullied me this afternoon" Mamuro said, making the two looked at him, Mamuro lowered his head, preparing for a scolding as he continued

"I...... It was okay if they would blow their stupid remarks at me but..... They were bullying some weak kids as well so I punched them, I think I broke a rib on one of them and 4 had lost some teeth or two" Mamuro finished

"Bwahahahaha! That's my boy! Yeah, show them that we are not someone to be messed around with! Show them who is superior, don't let me lose face! As the Prince of the Demon World you must be cool, strong, and dominant, you don't let this pesky humans push you around!" Kurama gleefully clapped her hands as she pulled the surprised and embarrassed kid in her arms

"I don't think we should encourage him to beat up around those kids. Being an Uchiha and half a demon, he would naturally be above others, it's in his genes to do so. But, can't be that much violent" Itachi reprimand, making Kurama glare at him

"So what? Let his instincts run free!" Kurama argued

"No, as I can see that he would be spirited and freewill, I would not stop him for doing that. But I would put my foot down when he would run around running wild and being unrestrained. It's not that I am being strict, but he must be balanced with his personality "Itachi said, Kurama huffed as she nuzzle her nose on her son's hair, her fox ears twitched on top of her head she leaned on Itachi's chest as the Uchiha feed some dango to his wife and child

"Let's try it then. Its time you start training, Mamoru" Kurama hummed as she let her nine tails wrap around her family to keep them warm.

The next morning, Naruto went to town, buying some food to restock, since it's already autumn and winter will come soon. She smiled and greeted everyone she passed by, tugging at her yellow cloak closer as chilling breeze blew by. She felt someone was following her but she keep calm as she approached a store to buy some fishes, fruits, and other spices, and tea leaves, lots and lots of tea leaves.

While on the way, she could feel eyes staring at her vanished making her relaxed a bit. When she entered her house, she placed the grocers on the cabinets and fridge that has preservation seals on them, smiling in satisfaction seeing them all full, now, all is left is to harvest her pumpkins in her yard and she is ready for winter seasons.

So, removing her hair dye and contact lenses, she pulled her blonde hair into a messy ponytail, letting her bangs and fringe framed her face and got her apron, gloves, and garden scissors, as well as her basket and head out. Humming a small tune as she harvested her vegetables. When she put them on her basket, she effortlessly carried it.

"Naruto?" a cold, surprised, and disbelief voice called out making Naruto froze.

The basket in her hand dropped to the ground, startled as she was found out by an Outsider. She stared at those eyes that she was so familiar. She clearly saw unreadable emotions swimming on those usually stoic and emotionless orbs. But now.....

Damn! What are those seals doing!?! They are not doing their job, ttebayo!

"Is that really you?" the owner of the voice asked again

".... Yes... Yes it's me....." Naruto answered slowly as she gazed at the person she know too well, breeze blew by making both their hair and clothes sway in the wind

"..... Its really me...." she confirmed as she locked gazes at the person that was slowly walking in front of her.
