So… Yeah, here you go. I already know what weapon to give Naruto so don't give me suggestions on what to give him. Read the Author's Note at the end to learn about my vague hints as to what it could be.


T is for Tomboy!


"W-what happened?" said our only female (for now) protagonist as she found herself waking from her abrupt faint spell.

'The last thing I remember was that creepy looking monster!'

She looked around frantically for any sign of the horrific creature she saw but there was nothing to indicate it was ever there. It had just seemingly vanished out of nowhere, and while that did freak her out she realized that the room was completely different to what it was before.

The large space of darkness was instead replaced with one of light, there were torches lit up everywhere showcasing the room by bathing it in their glow. It wasn't a very flattering or interesting room, just pillars, walls, and a floor. Nothing in there to mark it out of the ordinary and that scared Tenten.

The question was, 'Where did that creepy thing go?'

In all honesty, she didn't want to stay and find out and as Panda-chan turned around to bolt for the exit, she saw her younger companion lying on the ground.

Immediately, Tenten rushed over to wake him up, sure she could've ditched him but this place was creepy enough by herself. And she would be remiss if she said that the little retard hadn't grown on her. And by that she meant that he could be used as cannon fodder should there be some monster lurking about.

Kneeling beside his prone form, Tenten tried shaking Naruto by the shoulders to get him to respond but to no avail. She then tried slapping him on the face which usually worked but all she got, or rather he got, were bruises on his face that healed surprisingly fast much to Tenten's surprise.

"Come on you stupid idiot, Wake Up!" Alas, shouting held no solution either.

Tenten resigned herself to her fate and realized that he wasn't going to wake up, and it fell to her to carry his ass out of the temple(?)

*Sigh* "You owe me big for this one Naruto."

Hoisting our hero onto her back, Tenten carried Naruto up the flight upstairs all the while thanking her academy instructor for giving the girls strength exercises that, while exhausting, benefited her now.

As she went back up, she noticed that all the torches that were on the walls that were unlit were burning brightly and that spooked her. Who in the world lit them back up? She wasn't complaining though since their torch was gone and she would have probably missed one of the steps and fell had she gone up the stairs in the dark.

With some effort, she finally managed to bring the both of them outside where she was already slightly sweating from exhaustion. With a little bit of movement, Tenten unceremoniously dropped Naruto onto the sand and sat down catching her breath.

She looked up to the sky and realized that it was nighttime, they had been in that temple for a while because she knew that they went in around noon.

Our female protagonist was about to drag our Hero into the temple again to gain shelter from the cold desert night and at least stay by the entrance until morning. That is, until she heard the ruffling of a cloak behind her when she turned to back inside.

Immediately flipping around with a kunai from a holster she saw what made the noise. Her eyes widened as she saw at least twenty men dressed in black cloaks, the night and dark choice of clothing concealing anything about them.

It was about now that Tenten knew she was in trouble. She unsealed a Chinese sword from her own personal armory and dual wielded both her kunai and her Jian as she addressed the new threat.

"Who are you? Why are you creepy guys out here in the desert in the middle of the night?"

One man stepped forward from the group, presumably the leader and responded with, "We wanted to know who dared to desecrate the shrine dedicated to our god.

Tenten stiffened as she remembered its vile face, "What god!? The only thing that was in there was that creepy looking statue!"

The leader gestured toward her, "So you've seen it then? That IS our god, he is the rightful ruler of this realm and as such he needs to be resurrected to bring forth an era of darkness!"

"What!? That's insane! Who in their right mind would want to resurrect a being of pure evil!?" Tenten exclaimed.

*Sigh* "Children just don't understand what Lord Satan has in store for this realm. It's such a shame you aren't able to be enlightened by our messiah." The leader said, seemingly upset at Tenten's heresy.

"All of you, attack her in the name of our Lord!" Once that was said, the group of cloaked men rushed Tenten intent on either killing her or taking her down, either option was not what Tenten had in mind.

The cloaked men rushed with punches and kicks that Tenten gracefully weaved out of as she slashed at them with her Jian and kunai.

One tried to punch her in the face as she ducked and instead hit one of his brethren in the face. Tenten took this opportunity to do a leg sweep to knock both of them down stabbing both of them in the throats.

The cloaked men knew that fists weren't enough so they brought out some curved daggers.

Once again, they rushed Tenten without hesitation, swinging their weapons as she deflected their blows and returning with some of her own.

Soon their number had dwindled down to just 5 men, the leader included.

"Hah! That all you got?" She said mockingly, though she knew she was tired, having to fend off against them was enough to leave one tired, but having to carry Naruto upstairs… Tenten knew that she had few options.

If she ran, what would happen to Naruto? But if she stayed then what would happen to her? She shook her head to clear those thoughts, they weren't needed on the battlefield and instead she focused on the four men in front of her.

She blinked.

'Wait…? Fou-' That's as far as she got in her thoughts as the impact of something hard on the back of her head caused her to pass out with the Leader standing behind her as she fell.

"Such an impudent brat, but a brat still and nothing more." He said peering down at the unconscious Tenten, blood leaking from the back of her head, the warm liquid staining the cold sand below.

"Those of you still alive get up! I think it's time for a sacrifice don't you?" And with a sinister smile everyone, including Naruto, vanished in a flash of black.


Unknown Location

"…-AND WITHOUT FURTHER ADUE! LET THE CEREMONY BEGIN!"

"Mmh…" Tenten finally woke to the sounds of mad laughter and chanting. She blearily opened one of her eyes and tried to place a hand on her throbbing head to try and figure out what exactly was going on but was met with the sounds of chains restricting her movement.

She took in her surroundings and saw that they were underground once more, in the very same place they tried to leave hours ago, except this time it was filled with those damn cloaked men. She tried to get up only to realize her ankles were shackled with chains which were attached to a wall.

Tenten assessed her situation andcouldn't believe her eyes, there were more of them this time, their numbers being close to a hundred, where the hell did they all come from?

'I better play dead and wait them out to see what they're going to do…'

"O Mighty Lord Satan, by whom all things are set free, I cast myself utterly into thine arms and place myself unreservedly under thy all powerful protection. Comfort me and deliver me from all of the hindrances and snares of those who wish to harm me, both seen and unseen.
Visit justice and vengeance upon those who seek my destruction. Render them powerless and devastated. Direct their malice to return upon them tenfold and to destroy them who would resent my being. Fill my soul with thy invincible power, strengthen me, that I may persevere in my service, and act as an agent of thy works and a vessel of thy will. This I ask in your name, almighty and ineffable Lord Satan who liveth and reigneth forevermore."

The leader was finishing a prayer and the cultists were starting to get restless.

Their incessant chanting was starting to get louder as she saw out of the corner of her eye what she assumed to be the leader standing next to a stone table, and on the table…

'NARUTO!' She opened her eyes wider to get a better look at her blond companion who was stretched out onto the table completely defenseless, his sleeping form oblivious to the obvious danger he was in.

Tenten couldn't afford to wait any longer if she was even a moment too late Naruto would perish and if she herself didn't move she would follow suit.

Bending her head down to meet her hands, they trailed her hair until they found a hairpin stuck in her hair which she used immediately to rectify her immobilization.

The sounds of her shackles hitting the floor was drowned out by the cultists loud chanting and Tenten reached for her weapon scrolls only to find out that they had enough brains to get rid of them.

All of her hidden weapons weren't on her body, she had nothing to defend herself with except for her fists and she knew she didn't have the time to worry about herself because the leader was already doing the finishing touches to his ceremony.

The priest had cut his hand with a strange wavy dagger and dripped his blood all around Naruto, drawing strange symbols around in a circle with a pentagram in the middle going over Naruto's body, the dagger in his hand resting above the small boy's navel.

"And now! The sacrifice for Lord Satan! May he be pleased with our humble offering!"

The man brought the dagger down fully expecting there to be blood and he was right, except it wasn't the boy's, it was the annoying girl from earlier!

Tenten had managed to intercept the dagger mid-swing but unfortunately with nothing to block it she was forced to use her forearm which was slit open spraying blood over herself, the priest, and Naruto causing him to stir somewhat but went unnoticed.

"AAGH!" Tenten cried in pain but with adrenaline pumping through her veins, she pushed past the pain and kicked the dagger out of the shocked priests hand and caught it.

She then slashed the priest over his right eye causing him to drop to his knees him pain. Wasting no time, Tenten picked Naruto up with one arm in fireman carry and ran to get the both of them out of the temple.

Tenten jumped across the sea of cultists by using their faces as launching pads until she reached the stairs to which she began to abscond and ascend.

Still clutching his bleeding eye the priest shouted, "GET THEM YOU FOOLS!" which prompted a stampede of footsteps to climb the stairs too.


Temple Entrance

She didn't know how much longer she could keep running, her head was still hurting from before and already she lost a considerable amount of blood, but she couldn't stop now if she did both she and Naruto would die at the hands of those creeps.

The adrenaline from earlier was wearing off however, and Tenten was spent already, exhausted and running on fumes. Having to carry Naruto up the stairs and run with a bleeding wound was making her vision blurry.

She could her the rampant footsteps of the men right behind her threatening to kill her should she falter even for a second.

For the first time in her life, Tenten truly felt scared. Would she die here? What of her dream? Would anyone even remember her? Would she die with any regrets? What would happen to Naruto?

There it was again, why did she even care about the little idiot? He was the one that got them into this mess, if it wasn't for him she could be at home resting in her comfy bed without a care in the world. But instead, because of him here she was, fleeing for her life at the hands of Satanists bleeding her life out as she risked life and limb to save him.

She guessed… In the small amount of time she knew him, he must have grown on her. She swore that if they made it out alive, he owed her SO MANY favors.

But that was wishful thinking.

And she knew that unless there was a miracle they wouldn't be saved.

…They would die here…

At last, Tenten couldn't run any longer and she fell face first into the rough sand, the blood around her keeping her still frame warm in the cold desert night, though that was quickly changing.

Naruto was also dropped roughly next to her and she turned to face him thinking that his sleeping face would be the last thing she ever saw.

Tenten shed a tear before closing her eyes and accepting her fate as her mind went into blissful oblivion.

Black Cloaks surrounded the two children in a circle, all of them breathing heavily.

*Pant* *Gasp* "Boss, they finally stopped" Said one of the no-name grunts.

The crowd was pushed aside when the form of their priest, who apparently was a bald middle-aged man, pushed them out of the way still clutching his useless eye.

Veins were pushed against the man's skin to show his unquenchable anger.

"Move aside! Finally the stupid bitch succumbed to her wounds. I won't let her just die here though, one of you ingrates give me your dagger!"

One of his henchmen to his side handed him their dagger, and watched as their priest unsheathed it with full intent on maiming our heroine.

"First I'm gonna cut off her limbs so she can't run away, then I'm gonna cut out her eye to make up for what she did to mine! Then I'll make her watch as I cut up her little friend!"

The priest began menacingly approaching Tenten's still form to begin his retribution; that is until Naruto began to get up.

"Hmm, the bitch'll have to wait, her friend seems eager to die first!"

The priest lunged at Naruto with the dagger aimed straight for his temple, and imagine his surprise when his dagger broke.

"W-what!?"

Power began to exert itself from his small form, purple evil looking miasma engulfed him and began changing him. The dagger had broken from the new horns that formed around his head and his blond hair had turned pure white. And his eyes had turned yellow with the pupils becoming slits. But the most imposing feature that had appeared were the numbers on his forehead. 666

"S-Six, Six, Six!? WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!?"

"You Poor Damned Fool."

The sheer amount of power Naruto was releasing forced all the men down to one knee, except for the priest who had both knees on the ground and was staring at Naruto as if he was staring death straight in the face.

"You Dare Try To Kill The Almighty Satan!?" Said Naruto(?) as he released even more of his power shifting the sands with the winds being created from him.

All of a sudden Naruto raised his left hand which had purple flame looking symbols in a triangle, all of them looking suspiciously like the number 6.

"L-lord Satan! Y-you misunderstand! Everything I – WE did was all for you! Please, ask us anything and we will get it for you, we are yours to command as you see fit!" The priest said pleading for his life.

"You Pitiable Lower Life Form, But I Am Not Without Mercy And You Have Served Me Faithfully All These Years, So I Ask You For Only One Simple Thing…"

"Anything Lord Satan!" The cultists shouted as one.

Naruto(?) smiled showing a row of sharp teeth as he held his left hand up once more saying,

"I Need Your Immortal Souls!"

Shock appeared on all their faces as they then twisted into agony. The symbols on Naruto's hand glowed with mysterious power as a vacuum of air sucked out every soul from the cultists and they all converged into his hand which seemed to again glow in delight.

Naruto(?) flexed his hand a couple of times to get a feel for how much power he had acquired and seemed to be unsatisfied. The white hair he had receded and turned back into luscious vibrant yellow, and the horns and numbers had disappeared leaving Naruto back to the form he was born in, minus the slitted yellow eyes.

"Hmm… It's still not enough, I need more power…" He suddenly gripped his head.

"GRRPH! Stupid brat! And that damned fox! I need more power if I want to take over this boy's body and until then, I need to rest…"

And with that, Naruto fell again face first onto the ground and not a second later, a female ninja appeared looking around, surprised at the amount of death all around.

She saw Naruto and Tenten and went over to check their pulses.

"HEY! These two are still alive! Get your asses over here!" She shouted to some other ninja in the distance.

'What the hell happened to them?' She thought to herself, though she was wondering about the dead cultists more than the children.

She and her comrades picked up our heroes and disappeared into the night.


Unknown Location

"W-what? Where am I?" Naruto looked around and noticed he was in a hospital bed though he was chained down with restraints.

He tried prying himself free but to no avail and that's when the door to his room opened.

"Hey! What gives!? Why am I here, and who are you!?" He shouted.

He looked at the girl, she seemed to be the same age as Tenten and had the gait of a person full of confidence. He noticed the light reflecting off her headband signalizing her status as a ninja, and looking closely he saw that the symbol engraved looked like an hourglass.

"My name is Temari, and you have a lot to answer for."


AN

Holy crap an update… Yeah…. Hooray? I've been getting into Overwatch and can't wait for next Tuesday when it comes out. Who knows? Maybe you'll see me?

Anywhoo, about Naruto's "Weapon" a hint I will give you is that it's a whip, which whip? From what? I'll leave you to guess.

Oh yeah, and the prayer is from a creepy website I copied and pasted from.

Ciao!
