Chapter Seventeen

Prelude to Wave~

Shisui was leading his squad the jinchuuriki Fuu was in his shoulder, they were returning from their successful c-rank and their secret s-rank, he looked forward seeing his two students jumping through the forests, he smiled sadly.

(Shisui)'it is scary how much you both remind me of her, you do not resemble your father at all, at least in personality, honestly the only thing you have from him are his sharp features, while Naruto's hair is not so spiky and has red tips, the only thing they need is her mask, she fooled the entire village with her tomboyish attitude and a temper to match her hair, nobody truly saw her sadistic nature but me, most of her superiors who noticed completely disappeared, she was often ostracized by the people who knew her because she was an outsider, even her boyfriend and husband hadn't noticed her 'acts', or I guess he didn't want to see it, I guess his love was really blind'

(Narumi)"hmm, Shisui-sensei you spaced out a little" she said in between her jumps.

(Shisui)"No, just thinking about things, anyways we should set up camp, it is getting dark anyways"

(Narumi)"right"

They landed on the forest and unsealed their camp gear, they set up camp and put Fuu in a sleeping bag, Narumi already healed all of her injuries, after all unleashing all of the seven tails put her under much stress, if Narumi hadn't put Choumei in a genjutsu he would have enough power to destroy the seal.

(Naruto) "Shisui-sensei why we are still genin,i know that the third prohibited academy students to graduate early in times of peace, but aren't we strong enough to get a field promotion"

(Shisui) "while you might be right, Hokage-sama wants to show you two off at the chunnin exams, a lot of dignitaries will be present, and with tensions between Kumo and Konoha at all time high, Iwa just recovering from the third shinobi war with a large grudge against us and kumo, some conflicts are starting to sparkle between the daimyo as well, the army of the daimyo composed of warriors and samurai are getting restless as well, the mist is still caught up in a civil war, so other villages might be able to capitalize, the information we got from the rain ninja implies that someone has killed Hanzo all of his family as well as his men, Grass is also making some moves, i don't know what they are after but it must be big, there is also rumors about a new hidden village, we don't know much about them but they built it in rice country, dangerously close to our village, so you see why Sandaime-sama will want to show off, there are also information that all of the major villages will be there this year but mist"

(Naruto) "mhm, it seems there will be at least some competition" 'i wonder how the other village genin stack against our own, the clan heirs are nothing to scoff at, unlike canon, it seems the world is moving in our favor, soon the world will be plunged into conflict again, and we will be right at the center'

(Narumi) "And now konoha has three jinchuuriki" she looked at Fuu who was sleeping with a hungry look 'Ahn~so much to do so little time, ah well we still need to get famous, but 'that mission' will take care of our fame problem, we still need to do quite a lot of exploring as well, i need to know the history of this world, while the anime and manga did a nice job of explaining the ending of the clan wars, parts of the third shinobi war, and the arrival and sealing of Kaguya there is so much that was left out, there is 800 years of history also left between Hagoromo and Hashirama and Madara, i also need to know what made our clan so vicious and barbaric, after all we were once part of the loving Senju clan, even if it was a long time ago, right now there is little documentation of what happened before Hashirama's era, just stories myths and legends, Naruto also wants to explore other worlds, the Otsutsuki clan is still out there in space, along with thousands of clans with strength unimaginable' she smiled, Narumi wouldn't be bored for a long time.

She closed her eyes and shook her head, her two comrades nodded and Naruto bursted forward with incredible speed, just a few meters behind the trees a group of bandits tensed.

"Men prepare for everything"

Most of them gulped and sweated hard, losing sight of the blond boy, just then he appeared in front of one, the bandit raised his weapon to attack, but a swift kick his arm bended behind his body, the man screamed at the unnatural angle of his limb, his shoulder was smashed to oblivion, the scream alerted all of the group, a palm strike to the chest caved all of his ribs inward piercing his vital organs, he gasped for air but choked on blood, and fell on the ground dead, Naruto had a cocky smirk.

(Naruto) "Come, is that it?"

"Don't mock us you brat!" the leader spoke and all of them charged forward.

(Naruto) 'overwhelming quantity beats quality, that's what they must be thinking, but overwhelming quality beats quantity no matter what' he entered a stance where his legs were separated and slightly bent his upper half was straight, left arm was forward the hands were positioned resembling a talon, his right was in his hips positioned like a talon but reversed the leader arrived he was 7 foot tall with a lot of muscles resembling a bear in size, his arm cocked back and he went for a strike right in naruto's midsection but his left hand blocked the strike with no difficulties, while the tall man clutched his arm tending it, you could see all of the skin in his fingers were ripped, his knuckles were broken and his wrists were dislocated, the blond ninja rushed and all of them received a strike in the belly, Naruto returned to the camp, while they were clutching their abdomen, soon they regurgitated their insides and died from internal bleeding.

Shisui was observing with his sharingan.

(Shisui) 'i couldn't even copy their taijutsu style'

(Narumi)"Surprised? Well the leader broke his hands because of our dead bone pulse, hah it is suicide for civilians and ninja alike to go in a taijutsu battle with one who has this bloodline, our bodies are impenetrable, it was more of him hitting an iron wall, and for ninja is like hitting an impenetrable wall, even for hyuuga it is very dangerous to go up against one of us, as it offers ultimate close combat potential, they can't break our bones nor pass it so our organs and chakra system are protected, and even then we could put protective shells under or over our skin to protect muscle tissue, and our taijutsu style is pretty special, it is the beginning of another kekkei mora, you wouldn't be able to copy it even if you wanted, even so the base for our taijutsu is to cause overwhelming pressure inside the person's body making their internals or externals explode, depending on the situation" 'the style is called phoenix talons, only someone who has the phoenix chakra fruit can do it, other people would exhaust all of their muscles doing this, it is the first step for that 'ability', the ultimate taijutsu ability huh, Kaguya and Naruto demonstrated that skill against each other, Kaguya was truly strong, i can't believe people  in my world believed Madara was stronger than her, more fighting experience maybe, but in terms of power and skills, she had everyone beat in the series'

(Shisui) "the reason why i haven't seen these traits is because i attacked you both from a distance, even so your regeneration is monstrous, most people die when pierced by god’s spear"

(Narumi) "urgh that spear is cheating Shisui-sensei it can pierce through anything even our ultimate defense"

(Shisui) "I bet that was the first time you saw your own blood"

She pouted and looked away, Fuu started groaning.

(Narumi) "mm it seems our mint green girl has awakened"

(Fuu) "Where?"

Fuu awakened and started looking around, there was her friend Narumi she was like a goddess given form, with a perfect hourglass body, a tan resembling bronze, no blemishes with a beautiful face and colored hair, a pink dust was seen on the minted girl's cheek, she remembered being invited over to the festival, she was with her new best friend and her honorary brother, it was the best night of her short life, then. then... her eyes started watering at what the villagers and Shibuki said, she was in disbelief.

(Narumi) "Fuu... you see... this is hard to say... but after they demeaned you like that..."

After hours and hours explaining what happened, of course by lying a bit, Fuu calmed down, it was hard for her to wrap her head around the fact that she was a demon container for the seven tails, that she rampaged and lost control, resulting in the destruction of the Waterfall village, but with a lot of encouragement from Narumi she was able to get out of her depression, they learned that she was only 11 years old so she would be put with the graduating class, it was a surprise because her build suggested that she was at least thirteen, but hey Narumi was twelve with the body of a fifteen year old girl.

they arrived at the gates of konoha, checked in and went to report to the third, as a mission well done, Narumi then gave Saru the bottle containing the water, including the sealed lake and the crystal who was the thing responsible, now all he had to do is have his research team come up with ways to harness its power while avoiding serious side effects.

A new resident was added to the uzumaki apartments in the form of the eleven year old Fuu, she made quick friends with the uchiha children as she was starved for attention, she could finally let go of that overwhelming loneliness, she also connected with Izumi as their personalities were quite similar with both being vibrant and optimistic, both being complete airheads didn't help, she also got along with Mikoto as the clan matriarch was a kind and patient person, the days passed and she trained along with Saito and Rin as she was in class with them her body albeit slightly thin for lack of food was healed with seals and medical ninjutsu, and she already had some training as a ninja, she had water and earth chakra natures and some techniques with bugs as they were attracted to her Bijuu, speaking of Choumei Narumi put a Hakke Fuin on top of it and destroyed the original seal, after all Hakke Fuin is a masterpiece of the Uzumaki clan and it slowly drains the chakra of the beast inside, while the Beast regenerates it's chakra instantly making it an infinite chakra battery slowly strengthening a person's capacity to infinity.

(Narumi) 'i guess that's why canon Naruto had unlimited chakra reserves in the last, his seal while opened still supplied him with Kurama's chakra, then again by that point he was unstoppable, the author just wanted more story and more antagonists, that's why he nerfed the protagonist quite a bit, but a natural power progression says otherwise'

While Fuu was enjoying the new life in konoha the twins fell in a routine of doing D-ranks in bulk, abusing shadow clones for what it's worth, they also trained their skills and their bodies, their taijutsu was already s+ rank worthy, their ninjutsu was ss-rank no doubt, with them having mastered all of the chakra nature types, their favorites being swift release, inferno release, wind release, plasma release, they disliked defensive ninjutsu, that's where swift release came into play, dodging things like a ghost, multiplying their base speed was quite fun in itself, wind release was a no brainer, when you don't have an enemy who can sense chakra an invisible wind blade is lethal, and inferno style, because they could shape the 'strongest' flames of Amaterasu to their liking, and plasma release, one of the exotic chakra natures they stumbled upon, where the requirements to perform are not so simple, Narumi favored this so much because of the speed and destructive power, having lasers that can melt through enemies with touch, and the explosions of magnificent proportions when the beams touched any surface with the user's input was too great, the beams were also several billion kelvin in temperature, but Narumi could make them until it reached Planck temperature, it would go against the laws of nature but to her with nigh unlimited chakra, density of a neutron star and you get an unblockable attack, Shisui was lucky to not get hit by one of those in the genin test, they were protected with a thin film of chakra to protect everyone around from suddenly melting but everything she hit was game over, their genjutsu skills were demonstrated in their s-rank mission to eliminate waterfall village, subtlety controlling the ninjas and their leader's mind, taking control of the Bijuu inside a jinchuuriki and overwhelming its mind with bloodlust at the same time provoking rage in the kind mint-haired girl was a feat most illusion masters wouldn't be able to accomplish, their kenjutsu skills were only defeated by their mother, no doubt it would be hard to surpass the red death mastery over a sword, although instead of swords they used their bones instead, after all they were perfect slashing and piercing weapons, same thing happened to kunai and shuriken, why have those when you can shoot projectiles from your fingertips at incredible speeds, in fuinjutsu they were undisputed masters reaching uzumaki exotic level 15 in record time, the things they could do with a brush were amazing, they could seal pretty much anything, from human lives to time and space itself it was an easy feat, no wonder people feared the uzumaki, fuinjutsu had a response to every ninja branch ever invented, their bloodlines were being mastered as they came, they also explored some of the other skills they copied with Hachiman, but why ruin the surprise, they also learned how to deactivate the absolute defense from the adamantine chains, but they kept it on for now, the last thing is that they finally got their summons although...

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

(Narumi) "Nii-chan i want a summon contract!" she pouted as she rode her brother.

(Naruto) sigh "Narumi" he pinched her pink nipples "we tried before but even after doing the seals we weren't reversed summoned to anywhere, so we don't have a spirit animal to summon, understand this, we need to steal a summoning contract from someone instead" he pumped faster bringing her to another orgasm while he filled her young womb with his sperm, his hands went to fondle her bubble but.

when her orgasm died down she thought of something.

(Narumi) " i have a great idea" between her labored breaths.

(Naruto) "hmmm what is it" he was playing with her puckered hole as she moaned under his finger in her ass.

(Narumi) "what... *moan about we make *moan our own with creation of all things *moan" Naruto's eyes widened in surprised.

(Naruto) "You are a genius" he embraced her his hard chest making friction with her nipples, his hard tool still inside her snatch was enough to make her cum again "hmmm oh she fainted" he pulled his dick out of her, a wave of spunk washed over their bed as her pussy was still gushing juices "oh well" he grabbed her hips positioned his dick in her pink asshole and thrusted inside while she was knocked out, and kept pumping until he released again in her bowels, he rested on the bed and put cover on both of them, putting his beloved sister close to him so they could cuddle while sleeping.

Next morning, they created their own summons and a place for them to stay, it was hard but each twin created a domain outside in the universe, because their summons were quite powerful, Narumi's being a new species of butterfly that she called cosmic butterflies, it was a beautiful but deadly summon, Naruto's were panthers and he called their species vorpal stalkers, each of them living in their own world in space, their abilities remained a secret.

They also cultivated their bodies by infusing pure Ki into their cells, adding the kyuubi chakra on top of it and they got their bodies stronger than before, after all it was a combination of heavy exercise, resistance seals, gravity seals, heavenly bodies, and uzumaki bloodline that got them that far, what a twelve year body normally couldn't do, like punch the landscape, completely tear iron with bare fingers, run faster than hypersonic speeds, even for ninja prodigies that wouldn't be possible until they stopped growing, that kind of speed and strength needs to be built in years and years of training, and muscles infused momentarily with chakra to produce those results, but for the twins chakra infusions weren't necessary to boost performance they were as strong and as fast in their base form, no chakra needed, after all with heavenly body there was no limit to their bodies as well, they were also Uzumaki, which means from birth their bodies were naturally superior to all their peers.

Finally, the day came when the twins received the mission to hunt the 'demon cat' tora, Narumi and Naruto instantly tensed at the importance of this mission.

Turns out it is a c-rank mission, after all you have to hunt the cat through all of konoha, i pity those who have to hunt the same cat through the fire capital, it must be a hassle, the daimyo occasionally visits konoha with his wife to see the status of the village and to discuss matter of importance in his country, what is not known is that his wife trains the cat so rookies can pursue it, she has the cat summoning after all, she likes to see the progress genin make in tracking her pet, like a test of ability of sorts, the record for catch the feline was from our father in just 2 hours, obviously they completed the mission in less than ten minutes, the unique signature of a summon and our jinton made quick work of the mission, another petty thing to rub in the face of their dead father.

The cat was doing a futile effort of struggling against the mighty adamantine sealing chains, it was wrapped around it, while one end was dangling from Naruto's hand, the crowd watching with amusement as the cat was treated like a plastic bag, the population in Konoha were well aware of the daimyo's cat Tora, whenever the leader of the fire Nation comes to the hidden village it is a common sight to see genin pursuing the cat like there is no tomorrow, it's appearance is also unique with red fur, a rectangular line going from the forehead to the scalp with two adjacent lines running across, he also had a ridiculous ribbon in his right ear, the cat was mischievous as well it constantly attacked the market areas for food and other toys to play, so the merchants had a sick pleasure of seeing their star genin manhandling the 'demon cat', yes in the past few years the twins were getting popularity within the village hidden in the leaves for some years now, and by this point they were common knowledge even in a city with this large of a population.

(Naruto) "Narumi, you know why we wanted this mission"

(Narumi) "of course~ hahaha the daimyo's is as fickle as people go, he lets his advisors rule the country for him, although his wife is very political savvy and has a major control over him, and she is only unprotected when she is in the tower with the Hokage."

(Naruto) "*chuckle* She is our free ticket to fire capital high society"

(Narumi) "Yes, but not now"

They headed towards the tower, shisui wasn't with them as he was doing an urgent a-rank deep in Iowa territory, but he was due in two weeks’ time.

In the Hokage Tower a clone of the Hokage was sorting through missions.

The Hokage sighed 

(Sarutobi) "another mission well done and in record time even, yare yare, 634 d-ranks 22 c-ranks and 2 b-ranks in one month you both are turning out to be quite an asset to the village, the other rookies are far behind, although team 8 and 10 show great promise, team gai is somewhere in the middle, and team seven is far behind"

Naruto approached the lady near the counter she had a thin build, was quite tall standing at 6'0" she had very sharp facial features a silky black hair made in an ornate bun, hazel eyes and she was wearing red lipstick and a bit of makeup in her face to hide her age, she was wearing a black yukata with a yellow sash.

He handed the cat over to her, she caught the cat and they stated at each other like they were communicating, after a while she looked at the twins with a little bit of surprise and respect, just then Narumi planted a small suggestion in her mind that would be useful in the future.

(Shimji) "thank you for recovering my cat, and in record time even what are your names?"

"Narumi Uzumaki" she introduced herself with a soft tone hiding her incredible arrogance.

"Naruto Uzumaki" he introduced with a listless tone as always.

(Shimji)"hmm I shall remember it, and goodbye Sarutobi-dono"

She left with the cat in her arms.

(Sarutobi)"now do you want another mission perhaps?"

(Narumi)"sorry Saru-oji I have to go home to prepare lunch, farewell for now" a flash and a tingling sound and she dispersed into a violet mist and strange butterflies that had red eyes and wings that had a nebula like color palette they melded into the floor and walls like ghosts and disappeared.

(Sarutobi)"I didn't know she had a flair for theatrics, a butterfly shunshin huh" the Hokage clone looked at Naruto to see he was already gone, he sighed and returned his attention to the desk, waiting for another team to give missions.

(Naruto)"so imouto-chan did you do it?" She was in his lap on top of the Hokage mountain, while he was doing a scalp massage on her.

(Narumi)"but of course onii-chan~ it was only a small suggestion on her mind, but we don't need it right now"

(Naruto)"four months until the chunnin exams, we still need to do wave mission"

(Narumi)"it's no use, no matter what we do the mission will fall down to team seven"

(Naruto)"so what do we do, Tazuna has already arrived, and the only way they completed the mission was because of canon Naruto, Sakura was completely useless, at least Sai and Sasuke have some degree of skill, but if Kakashi didn’t forget his mission their skill may have not improved since graduation"

(Narumi)"I don't know about Kakashi, that man is a pain in the ass, he is lazy, fickle and irresponsible, anyways if Sai sends a message here then we can aid them in their mission, after all chances of them dying are large, I don't care if the banshee, pale boy and arrogant tiny dick dies but Kakashi is still a piece on the board with his Sharingan eye, not to mention a trading alliance with Wave country will be lucrative in the long run, we can also open up brothels there, after all our red light district is very popular here."

She said while enjoying the massage.

(Naruto)"knowing you, you already put that Sai kid under you control"

Narumi gave a soft laughter, her voice was so beautiful, but had an edge of arrogance and superiority most of the time, at least when not talking with the ones she cared about.

(Narumi)"but of course my dear Watson, I wouldn't pass the opportunity of killing that fat midget with my bare hands"

Another week passed and they took a break from all the missions to bond with the remnants of the Uchiha clan, and kinky sex, Naruto and Narumi also helped team eight with a bandit extermination mission, it was the first time they killed, but it had to be done.

The mission was simple, just a group of bandits stealing from people in one of the roads to Tanzaku Gai, a major town in fire country, the Uzumaki twins came with them by Hinata's request, after all this was their fifth c-ranks mission and it was an extermination mission, one they hadn't had before.

(Kiba)"A-ano why there are still bandits near Tanzaku Gai? Shouldn't the patrols be dealing with this, and why there are so many bandits"

(Narumi)"hah unbelievable, Kiba-san fire country is very large, and with Konoha boasting a population of almost 5 million civilians you can guess where this is going, i estimate fire country has a population of about 180 million people, and crime rates are very high, unemployment, poor salaries and quality of life may bring many people to become criminals, just so they can afford food, it is also common to kidnap women to sell them to other countries and such, and fire country is the third largest country remember that" 'Man talk about unrealistic world, but the chakra situation has thrown this world technology and progress out of whack, the world seems so small in the anime and manga but in reality the elemental continent is the size of Asia, although this might be because Naruto here chose it to be that way, because Konoha is 10 times the size of the anime at the very least, we already have electricity, television, and communication device s, but transport, fuel, arms and other areas are still far behind, but a pistol wouldn't hold a chance against seasoned genin, they have the experience and reflex to dodge or minimize the damage caused by a bullet, similarly they throw kunai and shuriken at almost the same speed, while chuunin and jounin throw at the speed of a rifle or even above it, and kunai and shuriken might cause more damage than a bullet, after all the blades are very sharp and can cut most things, in fact they are sharper than the throwing knives I used to have back in my world, although kunai and shuriken and other blades are made from a different metal than in our world, the shape also helps with the damage we can inflict on a person or animal body, it is hard to survive a wound to the stomach or leg if it's too deep, even with the help of chakra, medical or otherwise, Dan died this way, a kunai to the navel, spilled his organs and ripped his reproductive tool, he died even when Tsunade the world's best medical ninja was treating him, he eventually died of blood loss even when he was being fed blood replenishing pills, the metal makes it easier to conduct chakra, and it is found in abundance, the reason why it conducts chakra maybe because of the roots of the chakra tree still exists today, bombs and whatnot are covered in jutsus and sealing so no need for artillery, although snow country and sky country are making great strides in innovation, sealing... Every village has a handful of journeyman who mass produce explosive tags and such, while not a work of art master by any means they can cause the equivalent explosion of a mortar, I know this because I was in the thick of the second world war, I even received multiple injuries, lost organs and limbs, it was an often thing there, even with my super body there, receiving an explosion to the face would cause me major damage, to others death, the Phoenix chakra fruit even though weakened provided me with a very unrealistic healing factor and age immortality, but growing lost limbs and organs took weeks, there was even an instance where my whole lower half was blown off... I don't want to talk about it, just remembering the pain of not having a digestive system nor legs send shivers down my spine, and that was for a whole six months, my victims don't last that long'

(Naruto)"imouto-chan you spaced out a little there, let's concentrate on the mission"

(Kurenai)"now how do we go about this the group is very small only 7 people, there are no missing nin and they have no army training or samurai training either"

(Narumi)"they are common bandits so let's ambush them when they get drunk, let Hinata, Shino and Kiba Deal with them, and if they needed help we will intervene"

Kurenai nodded, bandits are nothing compared to a ninja, and even if they freeze on their first kill we will be ready to assist.

Narumi pov~

The extermination went easily enough, while they could have used simpler methods to kill such trash, they used their clan styles that were more comfortable to them, Hinata had her created flowing fist to fit her flexible body, instead of the rigid style of the gentle fist, with her style she strikes at odd angles in the body destroying various organs with a touch, it was messier than the gentle fist, but the damage was even more devastating, she didn't freeze when she killed, a common site really, most people would not freeze when murder takes place, the psychological damage is long term not short term, when there are more enemies most of the time depending of your personality and adrenaline rush chances are you will only start regretting after all enemies are dead, the three enemies she fighted against died with just a single tap from right Bellow the arm pit, rupturing both lungs and heart, the massive internal bleeding made them die of hemorrhagic shock, essential brain damage, leading to death, they vomited a lot of blood it was glorious!

Shino killed two with his insects, it was a little gross seeing insects crawl up the man's body before eating all of his chakra drying his reserves, human bodies here are dependent on chakra, and while chakra depletion for ninja is pretty serious and may even end one's career, for a civilian who only has a small amount to survive it is deadly, chakra is composed of physical energy and spiritual energy, if the physical aspect depletes, the body shuts down, and if the spiritual depletes you become a vegetable, the Aburame's kikaichu suck chakra out of victims and in return the user let them house within his body, while not my area, I think Fuu can learn much from the Aburame's clan, it will be good to introduce her later on, and he froze, I wouldn't expect a logical person to freeze and be stopped by regret or hesitation.

Kiba was the worst just because of the brutal nature of his family jutsus, a simple tsuga would not damage a genin much, just some slashes and broken bones, a jounin would be some scratches and full pain, but a tsuga performed on a civilian, like the two bandit who were unfortunate enough to stand in its way had deep gashes all over their body, and had broken and dislocated bones all over, the other guy broke his neck, with my vision I could see some spinal fluid dripping down his throat, the inuzuka went to the bush to empty his stomach, this is the harsh ninja reality, we are just killers and mercenaries following a code with the wrong set of morals.

After that mission the day finally arrived where the first main Arc of the Naruto anime would begin.

(Narumi)"things are going to pick up soon, we already drastically changed what happened during canon Naruto's childhood years, now it's time to really change the timeline, for better or worse, it depends if you are my enemy or not~"
