Uchiha Matron
Danzo walked through the root facility, flanked by two guards as he made his way over to one of the many sparse laboratories, inside was a single woman, a control console, and three tanks, one was filled with water and had a young dark skinned teenager with long dark black hair and six arms sleeping inside the tank while the woman, a short similarly dark skinned lady with six arms her black hair in a bob and her glasses on her forehead stared at the tank taking notes, occasionally changing something on one of the panels nearby,
"Dr Spruce is she ready?" he asked, the doctor didn't react, instead checking her watch, as she continued her note taking, Danzo frowned, "Doctor!"
"I heard, I hoped such a ridiculous question was rhetorical," the doctor stated, "obviously I wouldn't be here taking notes if she weren't,"
Danzo walked over to the tank, "Please tell me this little girl isn't the weapon I requested,"
"No she's better suited to the job you wanted her for, then the weapon you wanted me to design," Dr Spruce stated, "also we couldn't get the multiple clan DNA's to distribute evenly so still we have trouble creating artificial clan members with multiple clan dna,"
"How is this supposed to keep the boy in check?" Danzo asked,
Dr Spruce turned to him briefly, her annoyed chocolate eyes narrowed at him, then she sighed, "Simple," she started, "men are idiots, boys more so,"
She pulled a picture out of her pocket and showed it to him, "This one has already met Uzumaki, and I crafted the perfect scenario for her to develop a crush on him," the picture showed Naruto protecting the girl in the tank from a charging bull, "And it took, she has a crush on Naruto Uzumaki meaning she will attempt to stay by him, and due to a pretty girl like her being so utterly devoted to him, he'll be smitten with her, making him ours to control,"
"And how do you figure that?"
Dr Spruce smiled, "She's a sleeper agent, when she wakes her training will vanish, all she'll know is some basic information, I am her kind and doting mother, you are a man who are to be trusted and respected beyond all other things, and Naruto Uzumaki is her darling future husband, but when we utter a certain phrase her true memories and motives will spring forth, and she will receive orders directly from us, allowing us to eliminate problems stealthily,"
Danzo smiled, "I see, interesting, and is her skill up to snu-"
"Stop insulting me," Dr Spruce instructed, "she has been sent out and killed three important threats to Konoha's safety,"
Danzo narrowed his eye further, "She was allowed outside?" he asked, "you didn't ask for my approval,"
"Sometimes it is better to ask for forgiveness then approval,"
"Well so long as it didn't draw attention to ourselves it will be fine," Danzo said, "since you are her mother do you have-"
"All of our papers and our home is already accounted for,"
"And the father?"
The Doctor smirked, "Tragic story" she started, "when she was just a little girl she saw her father cheat on me with another woman, made her certain she'd be sure her man wouldn't cheat on her,"
"Who'd you use as the father?"
"An old Ninja from Mizu I had a crush on," the doctor stated, "I think he's dead now so it probably won't cause much trouble,"
Danzo grabbed her idle arm, "And if he isn't?"
"The old man would make a great test for our weapon's capabilities," Dr Spruce said with a smirk,
Danzo gave the woman a curious glance, but it wouldn't matter, so long as the girl could control Uzumaki who was himself already gaining a lot of influence, influence Danzo could use to keep Konoha safe,
OCTOPUS-A few hours later, elsewhere in Konoha-OCTOPUS
Naruto had his arms crossed as he laid in the hospital bed, he was surrounded by many people, most of which were from the Uchiha clan,
One was Yuki who sat next to him on her phone,
And the last three consisted of a smirking Hiruzen, and two nurses,
"And then I took this one," Yuki said showing him her making a cute pose while she was carrying him, she had her phone in one hand, the other raised making a v shape with her fingers under her still closed eyes,
Naruto could be seen over her shoulder being hit into a wall, "Can you even see with your eyes shut?" he asked, "If not I think that explains my bruised neck and kidneys,"
"But don't I look super cute though?" she asked pushing the picture closer to him,
The gathered ninja and kunoichi started chuckling at the cast clad Uzumaki, "Yeah Naruto," Sarutobi chuckled, "Isn't she cute?"
Naruto pointed at the Hokage, "Shut. Up."
Suddenly the door to the room was pushed open, "Uzumaki-san,"
The colour drained from Naruto's face as a familiar raven haired lady entered the room,
"Oh shiiit," Naruto groaned, he pulled his covers off and tried to leave the bed, but Yuki grabbed his arm and easily yanked him over to her as if he was a doll making him lean on her shoulder, "Kissy face~" she sang pursing her lips and holding her phone up, she took another picture and smiled, "Wow great shot,"
"There's no way you have no idea how much you're hurting me," After he spoke the feeling of guilt, worry, and a deep panic could be felt from Yuki,
'Shit if he blabs too much these important people are gonna kill me,' Yuki thought as as she looked toward the Hokage, his anbu and the Uchiha matriarch, 'of course I had to throw a fit against the one kid in Konoha who had crazy connections, if they find out I hit this guy they'll burn me alive,'
Naruto frowned slightly as he looked at the young girl, 'So that's what it is,' he thought, able to hear her secret thoughts, 'well I wanted to ask her about the fight, but I'll wait,'
"Well it's nice to finally see you again Naruto," The ebony haired lady said bowing, "I am Mikoto Uchiha, I'm certain you're aware that I've been looking to meet you?"
Naruto looked dead at her, "Kinda hard not to, your ninja have been chasing me around for months,"
The lady's smile widened, "Good I'm glad they've been persistent if nothing else," she said walking over to the bed, "I'd like a word with you about what happened that night a few months ago,"
"Look lady whatever you're selling I ain't buying, just leave me alone yeah?" Naruto requested,
Mikoto closed her eyes, her gentle smile still on her face, "If that's what you want, then no," she said, "as of right now I request. no demand, that you Naruto Uzumaki move from where you currently live to the Uchiha clan manor so that I can keep you close,"
"What?!" Yuki flinched back, "wait..." she turned to Naruto and grabbed his cheeks, studying his face even though her eyes were shut, "you're ''The Naruto Uzumaki''?" she asked, "Saviour of The Uchiha clan?"
"He is," Mikoto stated for him,
'I'm boned,' Yuki thought, she turned to him, 'but the guy who beat Itachi Uchiha in single combat is so small? never would've guessed it, and how'd a weakling like me beat a monster like him?'
'That does it,' Naruto thought feeling the growing panic in Yuki, thus he grabbed the girl's arm, "Yuki right?" he asked,
"Uh... yeah, like what's up?" she asked trying to keep her cool,
"I wanted to talk about something back where we met,"
Yuki's brow twitched, "Y-yeah? like wh-what?"
"You kept acting like you were really weak, but you've got to be one of the strongest Ninja I've ever actually fought,"
'Oh crap,' Yuki thought as she felt eyes turn to her,
Naruto took her other arm, "So I don't know who was laughing at you, but whoever they were, they were wrong, you are strong,"
Yuki flinched back, 'I... I'm strong?' she asked, she shook her head, "t-that's nice but I-"
"You are strong," Naruto said, "I'd love to spar with you again,"
"N...no no I couldn't" she said trying to wave him off, 'A weakling like me would just get in the way,'
"Promise me Yuki," Naruto requested, "we will spar again,"
"I... can't," She said pulling her arms free of his, "I... I'm not as strong as you think, I'm just the weird weak girl from the sticks,"
"Fine," Naruto said, turning away from her, "I didn't want to do this," he looked up at Mikoto, "and I mean really I didn't," he pointed right at the pigtailed girl, "if she's on my genin team I'll live wherever you want,"
"...." the room looked at Naruto "What?" they cried except for Mikoto who mulled it over in her mind,
After a few minutes, "Lord Sarutobi?" she asked,
"Well..." he rubbed his chin, "we'd have to check her first, be sure she isn't a spy, and be certain she's got what it takes to become a ninja,"
"Woah woah woah don't I get a say in this?" Yuki asked,
"Well yes," Sarutobi said,
"Great, no, I choose no," Yuki stated, "hardest no ever," she declared, 'dumb boy, I was taught how to be a ninja in different ways, my ninja tricks are secret and I'm on the run from my academy I can't just bring that type of trouble to these guys,' then she looked to Naruto, 'but I am curious,' she leaned over, "why would you even want me on your team?"
The adults smiled, "Isn't it obvious?" Hiruzen asked,
Yuki's brow raised, "N-no?"
Mikoto smiled, "Why I think he has a thing for you,"
Yuki stared at the older woman, her eyes shot open showing her crimson irises her cheeks turned a similar shade themselves, "I. . . he?. . . what?" she asked, she turned to him, "no you don't he don't I don't," she grabbed her pigtails and hid behind them, letting out a frustrated squeal,
"Aww young love," Mikoto smiled, 'Ahh reminds me of my youth,' she said, and what followed next to Naruto's horror were thoughts of Mikoto's genin team, and with them too many times while growing up the three shared a single bed many times,
Naruto raised a brow as he felt amusement and lust from Mikoto, 'Is that a bad sign?,' Naruto thought trying to shake his head to get rid of the thoughts, "Right, well only by guaranteeing that Yuki and I are on the same team-"
"I wouldn't worry about it," Mikoto said snapping her fingers, the Uchiha in the room surrounded Naruto and grabbed his bed,
"Step off!" Naruto warned reaching for his weapon only to realise it wasn't at his hip anymore, "hey... where's my hilt?" he asked,
"You mean that little wooden blade you've been carrying?" Yuki asked, "doctor's took it from you as soon as you arrived,"
"I have it here," Mikoto said showing the blade piece to her new ward,
"Yuki help!" Naruto cried,
"Stick and move bud, you'll do fine," Yuki said adding filters to her pictures,
Mikoto grabbed her as if she were a a big plushie and lifted her, "Come child,"
"Like what are you doing?" Yuki asked,
"Taking you with us," Mikoto responded,
"Like why?"
"Well it'll be nice to have more people in the Uchiha clan district," Mikoto said, "so I'm ''borrowing'' you,"
"... I could hear the quotation marks on borrowing,"
"You could just unhear them," Mikoto suggested,
The two teens were carried from the hospital all the way to the Uchiha district, as they were carried through the district they were met with the cheers of the Uchiha Clan, "The hero of the Uchiha returns!" they cried,
People reached over and grabbed and shook Naruto's hands, thanking him for saving them,
Yuki noticed that Naruto seemed uncomfortable with the attention, though it continued out of his control as they were carried to the Uchiha manor,
As soon as they were inside Mikoto set Yuki down and locked the door as Naruto was carried to a separate room for treatment,
"Good to be home, right Yuki-Chan?" Mikoto asked as she patted the strawberry blonde on the shoulders,
"I... I'm not going home am I?" Yuki asked,
"Oh sweetie," Mikoto pulled her into an embrace, "we both know where you were living before," she said quietly as she held the young girl, "living in an abandoned building is nowhere for a young woman such as yourself to sleep,"
Yuki flinched, "H-how-"
Mikoto offered her a small smile, then messed her hair shaking some dust and dirt loose, Yuki bit her lip, "I..." she tried looking away, "I don't need help," she said, "just cause I'm weak doesn't mean I'm a damsel who's waiting to be rescued,"
"Dear you're covered in grime and dirt and sweat, we have a shower, free beds, hot food, fresh clothes, and training grounds," Mikoto said,
"I-" Yuki bit her lip as she tried not to feel dirty, she'd been on the run for ages, no time for anything, not even to bathe in a stream, she thought she'd done a good job cleaning herself with what she had,
But a shower, an honest to goodness hot shower... right now the idea was heaven for her,
But she wanted to be gone by tomorrow, she had to be, her tracks could've been picked up, she could be in danger, and she doubted she'd want to leave The Uchiha Matron's home after finally relaxing,
She wanted it, desperately she wanted to take a warm shower, eat a hot meal, sleep on a soft mattress,
But. . . taking them, it meant admitting what she didn't want too,
That she was weak,
That she needed help,
And the helping hand that offered it had only done so cause of a boy she'd assaulted, and when they knew that, or what she'd been accused of doing before she found her way to Konoha,
Maybe they wouldn't want to help her anymore,
But the Uchiha woman must've sensed her desire, and quickly she was taken to the bathroom,
And Yuki's jaw dropped and resistance lowered significantly as she saw the Uchiha's ''bath'' and ''bathroom'' in short it looked more like an opulent spa, big enough to fit eight people, and that was just the ''bath''
And of course the beautiful Uchiha woman had to start running the water, and quickly a thin layer of steam filled the room as the water in the tub started to rise, "Sorry if the tub's a bit small, I'm just used to using this one now since my daughter's started using the bigger one for her ninjutsu training,"
Yuki's eyes widened again, "S-small?" she muttered before Mikoto pulled her top off, the attractive woman before her was quickly nude as she continued running a bath,
Her eyes scanned the woman's well defined form, noting her curves, muscles, and scars, as the younger girl got lost in taking in Mikoto's back, the older woman turned and noticed that while to someone less perceptive that Yuki's eyes were fully closed, to her she could just barely see the red irises fully staring at her back, Mikoto smiled, not simply because she was being ''checked out'' by a ward of hers, but because it made Yuki less attentive,
And quicker then Yuki could've seen Mikoto had stripped her completely, and then took her in the bath, "H-hey!" Yuki cried, "I didn't agree to-" she stopped and blushed as she realised the naked woman she was checking out was in the bath with her, "uh I-"
Mikoto smiled, she closed her eyes slightly, this girl... she reminded Mikoto a lot of Kushina,
Tomboy, rough, never accepting help unless she had too, and memories of how she'd once had to bathe Kushina herself when they were both young made the older woman's cheeks heat up,
Especially with how it ended,
She remembered as she'd tried to throw Kushina in the bath, being an Orphan with nowhere to go Mikoto had offered kindly to watch over the stubborn girl, an action at the time was made out of arrogance, wanting everyone to know how generous she was to the stray girl,
But Kushina fought her every step of the way, she struggled, kicked her, wriggled, cried for help, bit her a few times, whipped her with her hair, and even when she'd gotten Kushina to the bathtub and undressed she held on to the edges and hissed like an actual cat would,
It took a while but both eventually fell into the water and Mikoto scrubbed and scrubbed the filthy girl, who... slowly stopped resisting,
When finally she was done Mikoto took a look at the naked Kushina and smiled, "There all cle-"
And that's when. . . the poor redhead, confused as she was, pinned Mikoto down in the bath and kissed her,
It was the first kisses of both girls,
And after it was done Kushina's face turned beet red and she screamed that she was sorry and ran out, mistakenly taking Mikoto's clothes instead of her own,
But Mikoto barely noticed, too concerned with the turmoil she felt over One: being kissed by a girl when she certainly ''wasn't'' gay, and Two: how much the ''straight'' Mikoto had enjoyed the forced kiss,
And silently to herself, Three: How could she get another taste of the red head's passion filled kisses, just so she was sure she didn't enjoy it of course,
Wistfully Mikoto ran a finger over her lips, and she could almost feel Kushina's phantom lips pressing against her own,
She shivered lightly, and shook herself free from the memories that held her, and turned her focus back to the blushing red girl trying not to look at any part of her body,
"Okay" Mikoto said, "let's start with your front," she said holding up a sponge which she started to lather in soap,
"I don't need any help bathing you freaky weird woman!" Yuki cried,
"Mmmhmm," Mikoto affirmed rolling her eyes, really the girl was the spitting image of Kushina,
The days passed by easily for both Naruto and Yuki, both who'd seemed to earn nothing from the older woman but her affection as she somehow balanced being a nurse maid for Naruto during his recovery process, a doting caregiver to Yuki, Uchiha clan head, a mother to her own children, all together with any other responsibilities she had, the Uchiha matron was carrying them all easy,
And she'd done this... by admittedly cheating a little,
She wasn't really dividing her attention between all her responsibilities, she was using clones, one for Yuki, one for Naruto, three for her council duties, three for the Konoha police force, while she herself attended to her kids,
Yes 'kids' as in more then one, the twins Sasuke and Satsuki, and both were devastated by the loss of their father and betrayal of their brother, as both were incredibly close to Itachi,
Sasuke screamed, he cried out, punched the walls, he needed an outlet for his anger, somehow convincing himself that he should've seen the betrayal coming, that he alone could've saved the twenty of his kinsmen that died, had he just been faster, had he just been aware, had he just known,
And thus caused him to develop two unhealthy thoughts,
First he needed to be strong to protected his family and avenge the people that had died, Sasuke convinced himself he needed to commit fratricide and kill his brother to avenge the clan honour, and to bring justice to the people he'd killed, thus he spent almost every waking second in training.
And secondly, Sasuke had as a way to cope with his ''failure'' to protect anyone that night had placed all of his negative emotions onto someone else so he could cope,
And of course that was Naruto Uzumaki, partially due to the Uchiha district now practically worshipping the blonde,
So as much as the others loved Naruto, Sasuke had loathed him, as many cheers as he got Sasuke muttered something bad about him,
It's part of why Mikoto had Naruto placed on the first floor, after all Sasuke would come home, sleep and/or eat, and then go back out for more training, all the while muttering darkly about the ''So-called Saviour of the Uchiha clan''
It would be somewhat impressive if it weren't so worrying, even while eating Sasuke would darkly utter "Stupid blonde prick" or "sword out of chakra what a stupid idea"
Satsuki on the other hand, was just. . . she used to be vibrant and carefree, now she sat in her and Sasuke's room playing with a rope dart, twiddling it about in her fingers,
She hadn't spoken since she'd been told about Itachi, just... sat there, fiddling with the one thing she'd found left in his room before he'd gone,
Mikoto tried having people talk to them, it was strangely easier with Sasuke then Satsuki, and Sasuke ignored the people most of the time and continued his training,
Satsuki would just sit and seemingly listen to them, at first at least, but one of them... a man Mikoto regretted letting into her home, made one simple request of the girl, "Can we put the weapon down please?" he asked,
As soon as the question left his lips Satsuki did something for the first time in days, she clutched the weapon to her chest, got up and ran into her closet, somehow locking it from the inside, and it had taken her days to coax her out again,
Mikoto hadn't heard her daughter say a single word,
Though... she did have a theory for why, the night Itachi had killed so many he said something strange, that Mikoto and Sasuke would die with Fugaku,
Just Mikoto and Sasuke,
He was very loud, and while Mikoto was sure Sasuke hadn't woken up that night, she wondered if Satsuki had, and had heard him,
As she went to collect her daughter's breakfast happy at least to find an empty bowl, but her daughter, curled up at the foot of her bed, wide eyes staring off into space as her hands still fiddled with that rope dart,
Mikoto just wanted to take her daughter in her arms, to hold her close and try to bring back her baby's smile,
But... a footstep too close made Satsuki flinch, and as quickly as her eyes turned to the closet, Mikoto stepped away, she raised her hands, it took a minute before Satsuki blinked, her eyes slowly drifting back to the corner she was staring at before and her fingers playing with the rope dart,
But. . . Mikoto felt that she had to try again, "Sweetie?" she asked gently, but got no response from her daughter, slowly she kneeled down, "sweetie" she tried again, no response, "Satsuki?" the girl in question twitched, but otherwise showed no indication that she'd heard her,
"I-" Mikoto froze for a second, "Naruto's in the house, the one who saved the clan," she explained, "I was going to start training him soon, did you want to come watch?"
Nothing, just kept staring, kept messing with the rope dart,
Mikoto had hoped that if anything Naruto would get a reaction out of her, the girl did know him a little before the day Itachi turned, she just hoped she hadn't started to hate him like Sasuke had,
Mikoto bit her lip, but tried again, "Your friend Yakumo wanted to know if you wanted her to come see you,"
Nothing,
And Mikoto decided to sit down, something had to make her react, right? "You know I love you right?" she asked, "your father is in a better place now," "Naruto's not a bad person," "do you like the rope dart?" "what do you want for dinner?" "would you like to watch a film with me later I'll get Sasuke to join us?" "Has another girl poked her head in to introduce herself to you? if so her name's Yuki, if not. . . surprise?"
Mikoto closed her eyes, trying to think, what did Satsuki like to talk about?
"I uh. . . found a stag beetle earlier, i-it was a really big one, I think?"
Quickly she cast her eyes around the room, trying to look for something, anything, but the few posters on the walls could've easily been Sasuke's as much as hers,
Mikoto strained, 'What would Fugaku do if he were-' she stopped, her ex-husband was. . . not a warm man, he loved strength and power, and whatever he'd do in this situation was likely not what a child needed right now,
Suddenly other voices came to her, each belonging to another person she'd been with, 'Hold her tightly' A rough voice spoke in her mind, 'gotta know she's safe in her momma's arms'
'She won't let me get close,' Mikoto thought,
'Just try staying here with her,' another voice spoke, this one was much kinder,
'Can't I have to watch out for Sasuke too, and make dinner,'
And suddenly her head was flooded with the advice of others, people who's arms she'd felt comfort in, searching their words for any chance of at least making her daughter acknowledge her,
But one... one cut through the noise, and upon hearing it she nodded, it was the best advice she'd heard all day, she cleared her throat and said, "Satsuki," and though the girl hadn't responded Mikoto continued, "would you like to. . . learn how to use that?" she asked pointing at the rope dart in her daughter's hands,
Satsuki. . . blinked, it was almost refreshing to see that much movement from her, and it almost looked like she was turning to look at her mum, but she doubted that the girl had even heard her,
She sighed and almost started to stand up, but was instantly glad she hadn't,
Satsuki was looking right at her, it had honestly shocked Mikoto for a minute, just realising her Daughter was actually looking at her,
Satsuki looked at her mother, and then down to the rope dart in her hands, then back at her mother,
"I..." she cleared her throat, "I was planning to teach Naruto anyway, I'd be happy to teach you again," she said with a smile, "a-about the rope dart this time I mean,"
Satsuki clutched the rope dart close to her chest and looked to her mum, ". . . . . ." her eyes slightly narrowed and then she nodded, ". . . yes please. . ." she said, her voice was hoarse from days of disuse,
OCTOPUS-The End-OCTOPUS
Review corner: VVV
lancelotquantas0079: Hell yeah. The Names Kuwabara and I got a sword!
My response: Please I've never even heard of this "Kazuma Kuwabara" you're speaking of, this Naruto is completely original, just like all the main character's I've altered, like c'mon a blonde prisoner who keeps breaking out of prison to fight with wind attacks and constantly wears handcuffs, that's completely original to me,
BirdsarespiesSun: Question is Naruto going to leave the village or is he going to stay in a village
My response: That... is a great question,
.... uh, well.... the thing is...
I have no idea, could go either way,
thunder20: So is this a one shot? It says 1/1, as if it is.
Hm. Kind of expected the Uchiha to try and push some of their women onto Naruto for saving then. LOL
Well the Elemental Nations are going to be vastly different now.
My response: No idea how many chapter's there'll be more then one though,
Maybe they will, maybe they won't who knows?
Yes way different with the addition of Yoma and maybe demons,
