"Kakashi, your hobby really is..."
"Hm?"
Hearing Naruto's voice, Kakashi instinctively hid the book in his hand behind his back. He looked around, then up, but saw no sign of Naruto. Looking down, he stared with a face full of black lines at the little mouse with a few strands of golden fur on its head. Before leaving the shop, Kakashi paid for the newly stocked copy of Make-Out Paradise, then carried the fiercely struggling little mouse out of the store.
"Ahem!"
Seeing the little mouse giving him a meaningful look, Kakashi cleared his throat to ease the awkward atmosphere and released its tail.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Naruto dispelled her Transformation Jutsu in front of Kakashi. With her hands on her hips, her azure eyes fixed on him, she wore a mischievous grin.
"Kakashi, teach me the Shadow Clone Jutsu! If you don't, I'll spread the word about you leering at porn magazines with that perverted look on your face!"
Hearing Naruto's threatening words, Kakashi did not get angry. He stared at her with dead-fish eyes and thought for a moment.
"If you can give me a reason that convinces me, I'll teach you the Shadow Clone Jutsu."
"Hmm..." Naruto pondered for a moment, then answered seriously, "I heard Shadow Clones have physical forms. I want to train with myself!"
Naruto's words made Kakashi think of how, aside from interacting with Mizuki, Iruka, and Sasuke at the academy, Naruto was almost always alone.
The only person who would want to train with Shadow Clones was Naruto.
After teaching Naruto how to use the Shadow Clone Jutsu, Kakashi left, leaving behind Naruto, who had memorized the hand seals and gained a general understanding of the technique.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Naruto formed the seals and tried to use the Shadow Clone Jutsu. With a poof, the smoke cleared, revealing a limp, grayish-white Shadow Clone sprawled on the ground with its eyes shut. If not for its noodle-like limbs, one might have thought it was asleep.
Seeing this, even the Anbu secretly watching Naruto from afar nearly burst out laughing.
But the Anbu ninja did not see the meaningful smile at the corner of Naruto's lips. Did they really think Naruto had not noticed them? How naive. They had exposed themselves long ago. Naruto was merely pretending not to notice in order to lower their guard. Even the failed Shadow Clone Jutsu had been an act put on for them.
If she was going to help, she might as well help all the way.
Perhaps Danzo had provoked her, but Naruto had decided to interfere in the affairs of the Uchiha Clan. Obito, the Masked Man who had caused her mother to die before her eyes, would get involved. There was no reason for her not to stick her foot in as well. Of course, she would only be sending a clone.
Even if she could not confront Obito Uchiha head-on in terms of strength, she would still make him miserable, even if she had to rely on schemes!
As for whether the fate of the clan massacre could be changed, that depended on the Uchiha Clan itself.
The Uchiha Clan's Internal and External Troubles (1/2)
After Naruto tossed a bag full of instant ramen cups into a trash can and left, a little mouse cautiously pushed open the lid from inside the trash can. Looking at the distance to the ground, it swallowed, rubbed its tiny paws together, jumped down, and vanished into the nearby grass.
No one would pay attention to an ordinary little mouse scavenging for food in a trash can, except perhaps certain cats with far too much time on their paws.
Naruto looked at the fat cat blocking her path, and her entire mouse self felt terrible. No matter how carefully she had planned, Naruto never expected to encounter a fat cat standing in her way. There were also ninja hiding nearby, apparently waiting to capture this cat.
If there had been no ninja around, Naruto could have simply dispelled her Transformation Jutsu and run away. But with ninja nearby, how could she dare dispel it? She could only stand there, pretending to be frozen in fear by the fat cat.
She had worked hard to send this clone out. She could not let it disappear so easily!
"Meow!"
Seeing the little mouse standing still, the fat cat wiggled its plump rear, its tail swaying along with it, then suddenly pounced. The little mouse moved lightly and nimbly. As the fat cat lunged, it leaped onto the cat's head, ran down from its head to its tail, and bit the base of its tail.
"Now!"
The ninja hiding in the shadows seized the opportunity and swarmed forward, pinning the fat cat to the ground. No one noticed the little mouse that had bitten the cat's tail slipping away amid the chaos.
"Ah Hu captured successfully!"
"Ah Hu!"
A plump woman, round as a ball, tightly hugged the fat cat, whose face was filled with despair.
Seeing this scene, Naruto secretly thought it served the cat right.
In an empty corner, Naruto dispelled her Transformation Jutsu and immediately used it again.
With long green hair falling to her waist and a white restraining outfit, Naruto transformed into C.C., the character who had left a deep impression on her when she first appeared in Lelouch R2.
Her golden eyes narrowed slightly. Naruto... no. In her current form, she should be called C.C.
Obito Uchiha, don't think your plan will succeed! I may not have any affection for that idiot father of mine, but that does not mean I do not care for the mother who gave birth to me.
The image of Kushina Uzumaki crying appeared before her eyes. Her hands were clasped tightly behind her back, her green veins standing out clearly.
What you did to her... one day, I'll settle it all with you!
For now, though~ As long as I can make you and Konohagakure's higher-ups miserable, I'll be happy! Come on, let me throw all your plans into chaos!
C.C. touched her cheek and revealed a brilliant smile. Yet all that could be seen in her eyes was deep darkness and hysterical madness.
She leisurely headed toward the Konoha Military Police Force, enduring the curious stares of Konoha's villagers along the way. C.C. smiled indifferently. She had grown used to the villagers of Konoha looking at her with disgust. Being stared at with curiosity instead made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
A breeze blew past, lifting the hair before C.C.'s forehead. Through the strands, the Geass mark resembling a bird spreading its wings in flight could faintly be seen.
At the Konoha Police Department, C.C. sat conspicuously in an office, eating takoyaki bought for her by the department's personnel.
"Hey! How long are you planning to stay here?"
"Until Shisui Uchiha returns. I have something important to tell him." C.C. rested her chin in both hands and bit down on a toothpick. Looking at the police officer striding toward her aggressively, she spat out the toothpick and clapped her hands. The toothpick abruptly accelerated, grazing past his cheek and embedding itself in the wall behind him.
Having created a new ninjutsu based on Wind Style: Gale Palm, Naruto could use Gale Palm with complete ease.
Looking at the toothpick embedded halfway into the wall behind him, the police officer's pupils suddenly contracted. If C.C. had wanted to kill him, he would not even have had the chance to activate his Sharingan.
"Could you quiet down? I don't want to disturb you. I'm only waiting here for Shisui Uchiha. If you want me to leave sooner, then go bring Shisui Uchiha here."
C.C.'s voice carried undisguised arrogance, as though she did not consider them worthy of her attention.
"What kind of attitude is that? How dare you look down on us Uchiha..."
"You Uchiha? Do you have a Three Tomoe Sharingan or a Mangekyō Sharingan that makes you worthy of my respect? Don't be so arrogant. The bloodline in your body is not capital for your arrogance. Let your strength do the talking!"
Facing the incoming shuriken, C.C. vanished in a cloud of smoke. A shuriken flew toward the man who could not resist attacking her.
Two tomoe spun in his eyes as he easily dodged the shuriken. What he had not expected was that the shuriken had been transformed by C.C. using the Transformation Jutsu.
As the smoke dispersed, C.C.'s finger lightly tapped his shoulder, and wind pierced through it.
"You... who exactly are you?"
