Hello all Storm here with a new story! Yep another story and another that hasn't been done before. Here we'll be seeing Naruko becoming the reincarnation of the Ice Queen herself, Esdeath! I won't say anymore than that and I hope you all enjoy the story. So, without further ado.

I own nothing

"Five Pronged Seal!"

That was the last thing Naruko Uzumaki heard, right before she felt a striking pain in her abdomen, then the feeling of falling before darkness overcame her.

*Mindscape*

Naruko groaned as she opened her eyes, only to immediately shut them and shiver as she felt a stinging cold hit them. Opening her eyes more slowly this time, Naruko looked around, both confused and worried when she found herself in what looked like the middle of a snowstorm.

"Hello!" Naruko shouted, hoping someone, anyone could hear her.

After a few minutes of not getting a response, Naruko shivered and wrapped her arms around herself, before she started walking, hoping she'll find someone. Though she was confused as to how she ended up here, given she was originally in the Forest of Death with her team, until they were attacked by that creepy lady with the long tongue.

In a moment of clarity, Naruko cursed both herself and her sensei, Kakashi, for this mess. Herself for entering these Exams just to boost her own ego, and Kakashi for letting them enter something that they clearly weren't ready for!

'Note to self; burn Kakashi's books.' Naruko thought, before she shivered again as a cold wind blew past her.

Now she just had to hope that she could get out of this storm, along with figuring how she got here to begin with.

Though the more Naruko walked, the more her hope of escaping this weather diminished, being replaced by the fear of freezing to death. Even worse, the snow was now up to her knees, making it difficult to walk, combined with the fact that she couldn't even see a foot in front of her.

However, Naruko let out a short scream when she lost her footing and would have fallen into the snow, had it not been for something she grabbed a hold of. Naruko was surprised and relieved to see she was holding a hand, meaning she finally found someone who could help her.

"Thank you for the-AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Naruko said, only to scream in horror and stumbled when she saw that the person in front of her wasn't alive.

They were completely incased in ice!

Eyes wide in fear, Naruko quickly backtracked away from the frozen corpse. Unfortunately, she then bumped into something, with Naruko screaming once again, when she saw another person frozen in ice.

Looking around rapidly, Naruko started breathing heavily when she saw that she was now surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of frozen corpses.

'What is this?! Who could do something like this?!' Naruko thought, horrified at what she was seeing.

Shivering in fear, Naruko slowly backed away from the frozen bodies, afraid at the chance of them suddenly coming to life and attacking her. Though before she could get far, Naruko paled in fright when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"How…pathetic." Said a cold female voice.

As if commanded by the woman's voice, the snowstorm suddenly disbursed around them. And Naruko was further horrified, when she saw that the frozen bodies weren't just a few hundred, it was a few thousand!

'Oh Kami, what kind of monster could do this?!' Naruko wondered, terrified at the thought of being frozen to death.

However, she didn't have time to contemplate this, when the hand on her shoulder suddenly tightened to a painful grip, before Naruko was immediately thrown through the air.

Grunting in pain as she crashed into a few frozen corpses, Naruko groaned as she looked to see just who had attacked her.

It was a tall, beautiful, slender woman with porcelain white skin, and long, light blue hair. She wore an odd white and black military-esque uniform with long sleeves that had buttons on the upper arms, a blue scarf on her neck, and high-heeled boots. She also has a tattoo on her chest, right between her large breasts.

Though it was her eyes that made Naruko gulp. While the right eye was normal with a white sclera and light blue iris, the left eye was a pitch-black sclera with a solid red pupil. The one thing they had in common was that they were looking at Naruko with utter contempt and disgust.

"Wh-who are-AH!" Naruko screamed, when the woman suddenly appeared in front of her and backhanded her across the face, before digging her heel into her back.

"You will not speak unless spoken to, you worthless weakling! Is that understood?!" The woman sneered, while glaring down at Naruko, who nervously nodded her head, only to whimper when the woman grinded her heel into her back.

"I said, is that understood?!" Demanded the woman.

"Ye-yes ma-ma'am!" Naruko answered, nodding her head vigorously.

"Good, now get up." Ordered the woman as she stepped off Naruko, who stood up on shaky legs.

"I suppose I should answer your question. My name is Esdeath, former General of the Empire and the Strongest in the World. And you, Naruko Uzumaki, are a descendant of the Yuki Clan, as well as having the honor of being my reincarnation." Esdeath said, pointing at Naruko, with the girls eyes widening at what she was hearing.

"Re-Reincarnation?! Yuki Clan?! What are you talking about?!" Naruko shouted, not knowing what was going on.

Though immediately, she closed her eyes and prepared herself to be hit again, if her outburst angered Esdeath. But after a few moments, Naruko opened her eyes and saw Esdeath simply smirking at her with one hand on her hip.

"Oh don't look so afraid, I merely hit you to instill a sense of discipline, and to work out some aggression that's been built up over the years." Said Esdeath, with Naruko nodding her head nervously.

"As to answer your questions, the Yuki Clan is the same Clan that girl you befriended, the one who could use ice, came from. You come from the same Clan, which will be a major boon when we merge, and you awaken the Demon's Extract within you." Esdeath explained, smirking viciously at the idea of how much stronger Naruko will be with both the Demon's Extract and Ice Style Kekkei Genkai at her disposal.

A true Goddess of Ice.

'I'm from the same Clan as Haku-chan?' Naruko thought, shocked and saddened to learn this, it only made the pain of Haku's death even worse.

She not only lost her friend, but a family member she didn't even know about.

"What do you mean by, "when we merge"? What does that mean?" Naruko asked, changing the subject, before she got too lost in her depressing thoughts.

"It means exactly what it does; we will merge into a single entity, and you will become my true reincarnation. All my memories, my power, everything about me will be yours. Just think, my power combined with your own, this will be just a fraction of what you'll be capable of!" Esdeath said, while motioning to the frozen wasteland and bodies with a sadistic smile, while Naruko was terrified at seeing the look on Esdeath's face, as she admired the thousands of dead bodies.

"Yo-you mean, you did th-this?" Naruko asked, while looking between the bodies and Esdeath in fear, while the former General nodded proudly.

"Of course, isn't it wonderful? So many pathetic weaklings, all getting what they deserve. The cold hand of death! Though don't worry, you'll be able to do so much more after awakening your power." Said Esdeath, while smiling at Naruko, expecting her to be as excited as she was, at the idea of putting those below them in their rightful place.

"I would never do something like this!" Naruko shouted, while glaring at Esdeath, angry that this woman would ever think that she'd kill this many people, let alone take joy in it.

This, however, wasn't an answer Esdeath liked, as she immediately lost her smile and glared at Naruko. She then grabbed the girl by her collar and tossed her aside.

"And why not?! It's only fitting for us to show weaklings their place, in a frozen grave! That is the rule of nature, the strong live and the weak perish, and you could be the strongest! To have absolute power, that even time and space would bend to your will! You could finally show those worthless pieces trash in that village what true power is! Think about it, looking down at them, seeing their fear and terror, watching as they beg for mercy, before trapping them all in eternal winter. Just. Like. That." Esdeath said, while snapping her fingers at the end, causing all the frozen bodies to suddenly shatter into billions of tiny pieces, all at once.

"I would never do that! Konoha is my home, and I'll earn the villagers respect, not their fear!" Retorted Naruko, though her words only served to anger Esdeath, as she scoffed.

"Oh please. Respect, love, admiration, they're such meaningless things, and easy to take away. No, they won't love you, or respect you, they'll still hate you. So why not give them a reason to fear you, to show them what you can really do, what we can do. Show them the only true law, is the law of the jungle, that our word is law. After all, you can deny it all you want, but I know you dream of making them suffer." Said Esdeath, whispering the last part seductively in Naruko's ear, as she leaned in close to the girls head, while Naruko blushed at the feeling of Esdeath's warm breath on her ear.

Especially given the cold environment they were currently in.

"I'm sure you saw my eye, that's because of you, from suppressing your darkness for so long. What, did you think that you could simply lock up all that anger, rage, spite and bloodlust, and it'd simply go away? Sorry, but it only created something inside you, your own inner darkness, the true Naruko. A shame that I had to merge with her, but as she was part of you, it was necessary. That's why my eye is like that, it's her influence. Everything that made her, I now have, so I know all your dark thoughts, the pain you seek to inflict, the agony you desire to see on the faces of your tormentors, as well as the complete and utter despair you want them to feel, just like you have." Esdeath whispered, while caressing Naruko's cheek, causing her to let out a moan as her blush intensified, and turned her head to look her in the eyes.

"And you can. Merge with me, and you will have all the power in the world, and more. Not only that, but you could finally know the answer to the question you've always wanted to know. Who are your parents?" Esdeath said, smiling wickedly, while also pleased to see that her seduction was having the desired effect.

"You know who they are?" Asked Naruko lowly, with her face flushed and eyes half-lidded.

"Of course, I have known since the moment you were born, and I was reincarnated into you. I saw what happened that night as well, the night you became a Jinchūriki. You could see as well. Merge with me and the power, as well as the answers that you seek, will be yours." Said Esdeath, with Naruko looking down as her mind was at war with itself.

On one hand, she wanted more than anything to finally know who her parents were. What really happened the night the Kyūbi was sealed in her, and why she was chosen to contain it. Not only that, but the offer of having the power Esdeath possessed, it was tempting and Naruko wanted desperately to have it, the chance to no longer be weak ever again.

But on the other hand, Naruko didn't want any part of this sadistic woman merging with her, not knowing what would happen to her if she did. She didn't want to be someone who reveled in pain and destruction.

Unfortunately, with her arousal from Esdeath's seduction clouding her mind, along with the temptation of power and answers. That was only a very small part of her, with the rest telling her to accept Esdeath's offer.

"Though do be aware, that if you don't accept this offer, I will simply kill you and take your body for myself, and if that happens, I will kill everyone in that worthless village. Or perhaps I'll simply lock you away in your own mind, and make you watch as I bury them all in ice. Or you can merge with me and reap the rewards. Make your choice Naruko, but either way, I will not be trapped in a weakling for another moment." Esdeath warned, with Naruko looking up into her eyes.

"Then it's not really much of a choice, now is it." Naruko stated, smirking at the General, with Esdeath returning the smirk with a victorious smile at having her answer.

"And isn't that the best kind." Esdeath replied, before pressing her lips against Naruko's, as they were enveloped in an icy blue glow.

*Real World*

Meanwhile, in the Forest of Death, Sakura looked horrified at Sasuke, now covered in black markings and radiating dark purple Chakra, while grinning cruelly as he pulled on Zaku's arms.

After the encounter with Orochimaru, where he had bitten Sasuke and put a mark on his neck, Sakura had taken both her teammates to a clearing in the forest, where she hid them in a small hollow tree. She had waited for them to wake up, but they didn't show any signs of waking any time soon.

Things only got worse, when the Oto Team arrived and attacked to get to Sasuke, thankfully Rock Lee had arrived to help, along with Team Ten. But the Oto Team proved too strong and was able to take them all out. It only got worse when Sasuke woke up, only he was different and radiated a dark, evil Chakra.

Then he just started attacking the Oto Genin, beating them mercilessly, before he forced Zaku to his knees started pulling on his arms, not even stopping when he pulled them out of their sockets.

"Sasuke!" Sakura shouted, running up and wrapping her arms around him, making Sasuke pause in pulling Zaku's arms off.

"Please, please, stop Sasuke." Begged Sakura, not wanting to see her crush take joy in torturing someone.

Sasuke glanced at Sakura, before he released Zaku and panted heavily, while the black markings receded back into his Curse Mark.

"Leave, now!" Said Sasuke, glaring at the Oto Team, while feeling somewhat exhausted, now that the energy that the mark had given him left his body.

"Alright, alright. We'll leave, here, take our scroll as a peace offering." Dosu said, knowing they'd die if they kept fighting, while slowly pulling out their scroll and setting it on the ground.

"How disappointing, Sasuke." Said Naruko, exiting the tree, getting everyone's attention, and they were surprised by her change in appearance.

Her hair was now out of their usual twin tails, flowing freely down her back. It was also no longer bright blonde in color, and was now platinum blonde with pale blue streaks, instead. Her eyes were now a matching pale, icy blue color, and her skin's now the same porcelain white as Esdeath's, while beneath her jacket and shirt is the Demon's Extract tattoo on her collarbone, just above her breasts.

Everyone then shivered, when they felt the temperature suddenly take a massive drop.

"Na-Naruko?" Sakura asked, flinching when her normally bright and cheerful teammate looked at her with cold contempt.

"You are truly useless, aren't you, Sakura? Stopping Sasuke from ending the lives of our enemies. Are you so foolishly naïve to believe they would offer the same courtesy?! No, they wouldn't, they would simply kill you, or perhaps they'd enjoy making you suffer, first." Naruko said, with Sakura flinching in surprise at her words, before the Uzumaki turned to Sasuke.

"And you, Sasuke. Are you so easily swayed from taking a life, just because a naïve child asked you nicely? And here I believed it was your ambition to kill your brother, or perhaps you'll spare his life as well, if someone asked nicely enough." Naruko taunted, with Sasuke wincing, while clenching his fists at the mention of Itachi, along with knowing that Naruko had a point.

It was his goal to kill Itachi, and yet he's letting himself be stopped from killing an enemy team; one who tried killing them, first.

"As for you three, I'm afraid I don't share my teammates' sympathy for enemies." Naruko said, smiling evilly, while holding out her hand, creating a rapier sword from ice, shocking everyone at the sight of it.

"Wa-wait! Look, we won't fight you anymore, just let us go and the scroll is yours!" Dosu said, sweating nervously from the wicked gleam in Naruko's eyes, hoping to get away with their lives.

Rather than respond, Naruko simply smiled sadistically, before raising her free hand at the Oto Team, as a pair of chains, made of pure chakra, shot out of her wrist. Impaling Zaku in both his head and chest, piecing his brain, as well as his heart, killing him instantly. Much to everyone's shock at seeing Naruko kill someone without second thought, and so ruthlessly at that.

'When did Naruko learn to do that?!' The Rookies thought, surprised at seeing her not only create chains of pure chakra, but at the sight of her using Ice Style Ninjutsu, as well.

Turning towards Dosu, Naruko charged towards him in a burst of speed, slicing off his arm, before he could try and use his Melody Arm. With Dosu crying out in agony at the sudden loss of his arm, only to be silenced by Naruko stabbing her sword into his throat.

"Like I said, I don't have sympathy for enemies; especially not worthless weaklings, like you." Naruko stated with a cruel grin, before partially decapitating the Oto Shinobi with a swipe of her sword, with his blood spraying onto her.

Licking the blood off the corner of her lips, Naruko kicked Dosu's corpse aside, before turning her attention to the last Oto Ninja, Kin. Seeing the girl frozen in place, looking at her in fear, made Naruko sneer at her in disgust, before pointing her bloody sword at her.

"And you. You are worse than these two. Here you are, frozen in fear, just like the weak, pathetic, coward you really are." Naruko said, walking towards the petrified girl, with Kin whimpering as she stumbled backwards, away from imminent death.

"Look at the little weakling, trying to escape the inevitable." Naruko cooed mockingly, shocking her the other Genin at how she was toying with Kin, as if she was enjoying it.

"Sorry, but, those are the rules, the strong rise up to crush the weak!" Said Naruko, smiling wickedly, as she charged at Kin with her sword held high, ready to cut the Oto Ninja down.

Kin's eyes widened in fear at seeing the sword to descending to end her life, when suddenly everything around her started moving in slow motion.

"NO!" Kin screamed, throwing her Senbon in an attempt to save herself.

This made Naruko stop her attack and deflect the Senbon, while the remaining Genin were shocked, when they saw that Kin's eyes had changed. Where they were once jet-black, they were now crimson red, with a single tomoe circling the pupils.

"Sharingan!" Sasuke whispered in shock at seeing his Clan's Dojutsu awakened in this girl.

Naruko was also surprised by this, before smirking as she looked at Kin.

"Well girl, it seems you're life has just found a new purpose." Naruko stated, with Kin looking at her in fear and confusion, before gasping in pain when Naruko immediately buried her fist in her stomach, hard enough to knock her unconscious.

Naruko then turned to the other Genin and smirked viciously at them.

"It would be in all of your best interests, to not mention there being a female Uchiha." Naruko said, knowing if the higher-ups in Konoha found out a female Uchiha was alive, they wouldn't stop until they had the girl as breeding stock.

"What?! You can't-" Ino argued, only to be cut off when Sasuke spoke up.

"You won't say anything!" Sasuke stated, while giving them a warning look.

Since this girl was in fact an Uchiha, due to her having the Sharingan, then he knew what would happen if anyone learned about it. Given the Hokage had told him about what happens to Clans that are brought down to only a few members. They'd have to repopulate their Clan's numbers, with most people not caring if they were willing, or not. And he wasn't going to let that happen to his newly discovered cousin.

"I mean if you can live with knowledge that you've sentenced this girl to a life of being raped to pump out Uchiha babies, then go right ahead." Naruko added, while smirking at them.

This made the Genin back down, even Neji, since even he wouldn't condone such a horrible fate on anyone, not even a member of the Main Family.

Seeing that they were sufficiently cowed, Naruko's smirk widened, before she slammed a hand on the ground, causing ice to spread out across it. Then, before Teams Ten and Nine could react, the ice shot forward and restrained them, before their entire bodies were completely incased in it.

"What are you doing?! They're our friends!" Sakura shouted, not believing what Naruko was doing, attacking their comrades.

"No, in this forest, they're our enemies. Besides, they'll live, if anyone finds them, that is." Said Naruko, going over and pulling out the two teams' scrolls, and taking them.

They'll live if anyone finds them fast enough, otherwise they'll die in the ice. It's not her problem, since they knew the risk of dying, and so did their senseis. If they die, it's on their heads, not hers.

Plus, Naruko was feeling some vindictive pleasure in freezing Team Nine and taking their scrolls, given how Lee had brushed her off as an opponent, and humiliated her, before the First Exam. So, she wouldn't be lying if that was part of the reason, if not the main reason, why she did this. Team Ten was simply in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

Though Naruko didn't stop with simply taking their Heaven Scrolls and Earth Scrolls, which Teams Nine and Ten already had both of. She also took any equipment and items that were of use from them, as Spoils of War.

'I'll also need to train to properly control my new powers.' Naruko thought, knowing she was only able to freeze them, because she had better control over her Ice Style, despite just awakening, thanks to Esdeath's knowledge and Demon's Extract, along with them not expecting the attack.

With it being a similar case for her Adamantine Sealing Chains, since Esdeath had seen her mother use them to restrain the Kyūbi, on the night that it was sealed into her. So, she had thirteen-years to study and break down the jutsu from her memories of that night, with Naruko being able to unlock them, thanks to her currently being cut off from the fox.

She'll need to actually train herself, if she wants to utilize the full extent of her powers. And she has every intention of regaining the strength of her past life and surpassing it.

Going over to Kin, Naruko threw her over her shoulder, before creating six Shadow Clones.

"Hunt down any teams remaining in the forest and destroy their scrolls. Whether you kill them or not, is up to you. But don't get carried away." Said Naruko, knowing this was a time for business, and not pleasure.

That'll come later.

"Let's go." Naruko ordered, while jumping off towards the tower, with Sasuke and Sakura following after her, both glancing at their transformed teammate.

"Naruko, are you feeling alright?" Sasuke asked, with Naruko glancing at him with a smirk.

"I've never felt better. For the first time in my life, my mind is perfectly clear, and I now have the strength to back up all my talk." Naruko said, grinning as the temperature dropped around them, with her teammates shivering at the sudden cold.

Now they just had to see how cold their teammate has become.

*Later*

Naruko leaned against a tree, with her eyes closed, while Kin laid on the ground beside her. While off to the side, Sakura sat against a tree, glancing nervously at Naruko.

The trio had stopped to allow Sasuke and Sakura to rest, given they didn't have the same limitless stamina that Naruko had. Sasuke had offered to get some water, and has been gone for a few minutes, with Sakura being worried for her crush, and at being left alone with the crueler and more sadistic Naruko.

Thankfully, Sakura didn't have to worry about Naruko suddenly attacking her, as the Uzumaki was currently going through Esdeath's memories.

After they had merged, Naruko inherited all of Esdeath's power, abilities, and memories, including the memories of after she died. It was the latter memories, Naruko was currently going through, which were mainly focused on Tatsumi, the so-called "beloved" Esdeath had in life.

Though after some time in the afterlife, Esdeath's opinion of the boy had considerably changed.

'I should have just slit his throat in his cell and be done with it!' Naruko thought, angry at all the time she wasted, chasing after and obsessing over that fool.

Really, the only reason Esdeath even pursued that Night Raid lackey, was because he had met the requirements of her list for a perfect partner, along with providing her a challenge in chasing him. But aside from that, there wasn't really anything else that attracted Esdeath to him, something she discovered after chasing him for who knows how long in the afterlife.

That had become Esdeath's one regret, wasting so much time pursuing some weak little boy, and not killing him, when she had the chance. What she hated most, was that the fool dared to criticize her choices in the afterlife, all the people she's killed and tortured, just because she could.

'At least I'm honest about who I am.' Naruko thought, knowing that Esdeath had no illusions that she was a good person, or did anything for the good of the Empire.

No, she was simply a cruel person that enjoyed inflicting pain on others, while causing chaos and destruction.

Really, the only thing she learned from the experience, was that love was a weakness, that only made a person make foolish mistakes.

'A mistake that I won't make a second time.' Naruko thought, knowing she won't waste her time on such pointless things again.

Though she may still find a partner, if only to relieve tension, besides through murder and torture. Of course, if she does so, she'll make it perfectly clear that she is the dominant one, and if they can't accept that…well, there are always other choices.

'I'll try taking a woman as a lover, this time.' Naruko decided, fully aware that she's a lesbian in this current life, especially given her reaction to Esdeath's seduction, before they merged.

The reincarnated Ice Queen was then pulled from her thoughts, when she saw that Sasuke had returned, being accompanied by a redheaded girl, wearing a Kusa Headband.

"Sasuke, if you wished to bring back a pet, I'm sure you could have found one that didn't require to be killed." Naruko said, while examining her nails, with the girl paled at hearing that.

"It's not like that, I saved her from a bear that had killed her teammates." Sasuke stated, with Naruko raising a brow at that.

"And you simply didn't let the bear finish the job, why? Or did you actually decide to save her, just to kill her yourself, how unexpectedly cruel. I approve." Naruko said, smirking at the idea, while the girl shivered in fright.

"Again, no. I saved her, because I could. And given her teammates are dead, I offered for her to come with us to the tower." Sasuke said, with Naruko sighing in disappointment at hearing that, having hoped he'd show some strength.

"Oh fine. Does the pet have a name?" Naruko asked, not really caring as she picked up Kin.

"Ka-Karin, K-Karin U-Uzumaki." Karin stuttered, with Sasuke and Sakura looking at her in surprise at her last name.

All while Naruko skidded to halt and looked at Karin with a dangerous glint in her eyes.

"Uzumaki, you say? Well…isn't that interesting.' Stated Naruko.

*Timeskip – Four Days*

*Tower*

After arriving at the tower, Naruko had thrown down the Heaven and Earth Scrolls they had collected, which had resulted in their old teacher, Iruka Umino, appearing before them. After seeing Naruko's new appearance, along with the addition of Kin and Karin, Iruka had taken them to the Hokage to explain what happened.

They had told the Hokage of their encounter with Orochimaru, along with him marking Sasuke and putting the Five Pronged Seal on Naruko, the former of which was sealed away, and the latter was thankfully removed. Naruko had also been able to chalk up her transformation to her awakening the Ice Style Kekkei Genkai.

When they had revealed Kin was an Uchiha and Karin was an Uzumaki, the latter of which Naruko gave Sarutobi a knowing smirk, and revealing their teammates were dead. The Hokage offered them sanctuary in Konoha, and helped to fake their deaths, knowing it'd be better if everyone believed they were dead than alive.

Especially since it seems that Karin didn't have the best life in Kusagakure. And given how Orochimaru is now confirmed to be the leader of Otogakure, it would be best for not just Kin, but everyone, if she's brought to Konoha.

And while Naruko might not trust the Hokage as much as she used to, after merging with Esdeath, especially in concerns to everything he's kept from her. She knew he could be trusted with making sure Kin and Karin were safe from those who'd want to use them.

Currently, Naruko stood with her teammates, along with the other teams that managed to pass, which included Team Eight, the Suna Team, and Kabuto's Team.

Naruko smirked, when the Hokage said that the Chunin Exam Finals would take place in one month.

'A month is plenty of time. More than enough, thanks to how many Shadow Clones I can make.' Naruko thought, given that while Esdeath had been trapped in her mind, she had still been far more observant than her old self, and knew of the memory transfer ability of the Shadow Clone Jutsu, along with anything else she had skimmed over.

That will definitely go a long way in getting her ice powers under control.

'I'll also need to work on Water Style and Wind Style Ninjutsu, as well as my affinity for them, given that Ice Style is made of those two elements. And Demon's Extract makes my Ice Style even stronger, it has also enhanced my Wind and Water Affinities, also. So any Water Style and Wind Style Ninjutsu that I use will be much stronger, as well. Oh, so many new ways to slaughter weaklings!' Naruko thought, excitedly.

"Wow, you guys sure lucked out. Most Chunin Exams usually end up having a Preliminary Round, before the Finals, as a way to lower the number of contestants. But you guys got lucky, and now you get to train in secret, without having to reveal anything you already know." Kabuto said to the Rookies.

"Yes, how lucky…hmhmhmhmhmhm." Naruko said, chuckling darkly at the end, sending shivers up everyone's spine.

'A new world, a new life, but one thing will always be the same. The strong will always crush the weak, and I will make sure that I am once again the Strongest in the World.' Naruko swore, with her eyes gaining an icy blue glow.

So, what did you think, good. Yep Naruko has met her past-life in her mindscape and has merged with Esdeath, after being tempted and seduced by the ex-General, resulting in Naruko's appearance changing along with awakening her own latent Ice Style Kekkei Genkai and the Demon's Extract, along with gaining all of Esdeath's memories, including those of her time in the afterlife and all the way back to when Naruko was first born. Then we see Naruko kill Dosu and Zaku, along with sparing Kin after the latter awakened the Sharingan, before freezing Teams Nine and Ten and taking their scrolls. Afterwards we then see that during her time in the afterlife, Esdeath's opinion of Tatsumi has decidedly changed, for the better depending on your views, with Naruko now swearing if she does take a partner, she'll make sure they know who is in charge. We then see Sasuke bringing Karin back and Team Seven learning she is also an Uzumaki. Finally they all arrive at the Tower, with the Hokage helping to fake Karin and Kin's deaths, sealing the Curse Mark, and removing the Five Pronged Seal, before seeing the Preliminaries are not happening, thanks to Naruko killing Dosu and Zaku, and freezing Teams Nine and Ten. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.

Storm out
