Panicked cries filled the air as everyone saw Sasuke pledge his hand thru Naruko's chest. He pulled his hand back as he unsheathed his sword.

"This time I will make sure that you die!" he said sadistic smile coming over his face. It was over just like that. She had been killed so easily, but he froze when he saw her smiling at him, he looked into her bright blue eyes.

"You… didn't…. think it would be that easy… did you?" she asked softly. Her hand figures tapping in the same place that Itachi had often flicked him when he was younger. Then she fell forward fading away.

"Izanagi," Sasuke said more to himself frowning. He turned around to see Naruko standing there everyone but Sasuke and Kabuto looked confused.

"Hinata what happened was that one he attacked a clone?" Sakura asked.

"No that was the real one and that is also the real Naruko…but it seems… she lost a large amount of Chakra," Hinata said her eyes fixed on Naruko.

"How can you use Izanagi without losing sight in one of your eyes?" Sasuke asked coolly.

"It is rather simple…the Jubi allows me to but there is a cost that I do pay to use it," she said calmly.

"It takes a massive amount of Chakra… an amount of Chakra that most don't have and even few could afford to pay…but to you I guess it is a small price to pay to live," Kabuto said sounding impressed, "but I don't think you have too many more of those in you maybe one."

"No…not quiet I have a few more left," she said as she released her clone going back into Sage mode.

"Well I guess it doesn't matter you have to beat us in less than five minutes because you don't have the Chakra left if you don't," Kabuto said smirking.

"Five minutes will be more than enough for the both of you," Naruko said ready to fight. She speed past Sasuke going for Kabuto, but she jumped back avoiding the snake that shout out of Kabuto's sleeve then she had to dodge a fireball from Sasuke.

She saw her friends moving forward to help, "Don't!" she called out, "Please let me be selfish, if wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to any of you. So just let me deal with them.

"What do you plan on using that Jutsu on one of us?" Kabuto asked coolly. The Konoha Shinobi wondered what Jutsu Kabuto was referring to.

'Kage Bunshin No Jutsu,' five clones appeared and three of the five attacked Sasuke while she and two clones attacked. 'Keiyaku Fuin,' Naruko made contact with Kabuto and Series came to his senses. Kabuto mentally cursed himself.

She turned to see black flames heading for her she jumped behind Kabuto, who let out a pained cry as he was burned alive. As the black flames continued to reduce Kabuto to nothing more than ashes, the two Shinobi's eyes met. Sasuke was slowly engulfed with purple chakra, it was his by Susanoo. Naruko frowned wondering how she was going to get past his ultimate defense. She could sense his charka rapidly dwindling, all she had to do was out last him, she thought to herself.

Naruko dodged all of the attacks that Sasuke threw at her, "Out of tricks already Naruko! I must say I thought you would have been more of a challenge," Sasuke shouted with a twisted smile on his face.

"No I just didn't want to use more than I had to," she said coolly, "but it looks like I will run out of Sage Chakra before you run out of Chakra."

The nine Tomoe appeared in her eyes and something Sasuke was prepared for happened Naruko was surrounded by a dark blue chakra and started to create her own Susanoo but this one didn't take a humanoid form like his and Itachi's, hers took the form of a beast with ten tails.

"So your Susanoo is the Jubi…interesting," Sasuke said still with a twisted smile on his otherwise handsome face.

"Itachi showed me this one; let's see how you like it?" Naruko said 'Yasaka Magatama,' one of the tails launched off at him forming into three Tomoe bounded together by a circular chakra thread. It ripped thru Sasuke's Susanoo, just missing Sasuke by inches. Sasuke was no longer smiling, he shot an arrow at her but it looked as if her Susanoo absorbed the chakra. The eye in the middle of the demons face opened its eye was just like Naruko's.

Sasuke felt something that he had not felt in a long time, something he had not felt since he had fought Itachi…fear. Fear that he could win; fear that Naruko had gone to a whole nether level to him. Sasuke saw that the tail that she had used as a weapon was reforming. Sasuke was studying her Susanoo for a weak point, but he didn't even know the extent of her Susanoo's powers. He watched as a chakra arm separated from her arm creating something that looked like her Rasengan. He in turn created a Chidori with her free hand she made hand seals and Sasuke was frowning even more wondering what she was planning.

Then he saw when it was too late, her Susanoo ripped his open giving her an opening to attack, she ran at him with her Jutsu ready to strike and Sasuke charged her. The Jutsu avoid a collision with one and other but instead struck the heart of their targets. Blood poured to the ground as both Shinobi stood with their hand in the others chest.

"All of that just to end in a stale mate," Sasuke asked with his voice void of emotion.

"What is going on?" Sakura whispered.

"It is a battle of Genjutsu," Kakashi answered.

"When did Naruko get so skilled with Genjutsu?" Shikamaru asked.

"My guess is when she became the Jinchuriki for the Jubi," Kakashi answered.

"Is that the reason she vanished or is it because she turned out to be a girl?" Shikamaru asked watching the blond.

"My guess would be both," Kakashi said.

"Naruko," they heard Sasuke speak for the first time since the Genjutsu battle had started, "is was that Susanoo the Jutsu Kabuto spoke of or is there another trick you are hiding up your sleeve?"

"There is another one," she said.

"Naruko you have become a very shrewd Shinobi," Kabuto said smirking, "Using the Genjutsu like that to give yourself time to replenish your Sage Chakra, very cleaver."

"So now I have ten minutes to kill the both of you," she said smugly.

"So it is no longer your desire to save Sasuke just kill him is that it?" Kabuto asked Naruko frowned while the rest of them looked confused, Kabuto looked elated at this new revelation, "You haven't told them, you haven't told any of them."

"Told us what," Shikamaru asked looking at him.

"That she posses the two most powerful Genjutsu knew to Shinobi," Kabuto said smirking.

"And those would be?" Sasuke asked turning to face Kabuto.

"I am disappointed in you Sasuke for not knowing," Kabuto said still smirking.

"One Izanagi, but you already knew that seeing how you failed to kill her before she trapped us in her Genjutsu," Kabuto said.

"So the Genjutsu she trapped us in was the second?" Sasuke asked.

"No that was just a weak Genjutsu that she placed over use to buy herself some extra time to recover from using Izanagi. No the most powerful Genjutsu belonged to a man called Uchiha Shisui."

"That was Itachi's friend," Sasuke said coolly.

"Hai, at some point Danzo got one of his eyes and Itachi the other, then Itachi passed the eye on to Naruko," Kabuto said.

"What who is Shisui?" Sakura asked.

"He is the only known wielder of the Kotomatsukami, there are others who have used it but it was by using Shisui's eyes…or at least he was the only known wielder right Naruko?"

"What does this Kotomatsukami do?" Shikamaru asked.

"It allows the wielder complete control of someone without them even knowing," Kakashi answered.

"That means…" Sakura started eyes widened.

"Yes she could force Sasuke to go back to Konoha with you all," Kabuto said.

"I could… it is what Itachi wanted me to do, but if I was going to take Sasuke back to Konoha it would have been because he had changed not because he was my little bitch," Naruko said smirking Sasuke frowned at her choice of words, "now that you know I have the power to take you back Sasuke what will you do?"

"Just because you can doesn't mean you will, I am going to kill you all and once you are dead there will be no one to stand in the way of my revenge," Sasuke said.

"I thought that you would say that…so this is where it will all end," Naruko said softly, "very well…however it ends it ends today."

They all heard a load screeching but it the sound was multiplied. She had ten Mini-Rasenshuriken then she threw them all at Sasuke and Kabuto, they managed to dodge them all but Naruko appeared before Kabuto she placed her hand on his head and ripped his soul from his body.

"Now it is just me and you Sasuke," Naruko said she turned to face him they moved with such speed that none of the wizards could keep up and the Shinobi barely could. Sasuke did his best to avoid all of Naruko's attacks knowing that if he was hit by her it would be the same as being hit by the Raikage, but she was fast then he was if that was possible and her Ninjutsu and Genjutsu were also better. As much as he hated to admit it she was good…too good. And the realization struck him if he had been anyone else he would have been long dead. But he still had that in his advantage, despite what she says he knew that she didn't want to hurt him.

He tried to dodge one of her kicks but he failed, it got him in the arm, he could fell the bones break under the forced of the blow.

Sasuke looked into the face of Naruko, she looked different, but all he could see was the Naruto he once knew, the loud mouth Baka who would constantly ask Sakura out on dates. The Naruto who would constantly pick fights with him, the Baka that everyone could depend on who never gave up no matter how grim a situation was.

He got to his feet, still watching her expression, he could see the pain behind her eyes, "let's finish this and let's make it big," Sasuke said coolly a Chidori forming in his right hand as his left hung uselessly at his side.

"If that is how you want it," she said powering up a Rasengan then they both charged each other for the final showdown. It all happened too quickly for anyone to understand. Right before the two Jutsu collided Sasuke dropped his Jutsu allowing Naruko to hit him. He held on tightly to her to keep himself up. He leaned forward whispering something in her ear.

"Why?" she asked her voice shaking.

"It's funny…you asked me that same question on out first mission," Sasuke said weakly. Naruko slowly lowered Sasuke to the ground his eyes slowly closed, "it looks like you will be the hero who killed the traitorous Uchiha after all…Dobe," he said smiling.

She felt a hand on her shoulder she turned to see Shikamaru standing there, "we…can't leave him here," she said softly.

"We will take care of this you get some rest," He said as kindly as he could.

The wizards were elated not understanding the full effect of the night's events all they knew was Voldemort was dead and the only death was that of Serverus Snape. While the Shinobi sat beside a sleeping Naruko.

They heard a knock at the door already knowing who it was they let them in. Harry Ron and Hermione walked in they noticed how beat up Naruko looked then they turned to the other Shinobi, they didn't look hurt just tired.

"We came to check on Naruko," Harry said softly, "how is she doing?"

"She will be fine she just needs some rest," Kakashi said.

"Can you tell us what happened?" Hermione asked.

Kakashi took a deep breath and decided that he would tell them or what he knew and was not an S-class secret.

"So he was her best friend," Hermione said shocked that two people so different could be such close friends, "I mean they were so different."

"We aren't that different," a soft voice said none of them had realized that she was awake, "we were more alike than different. The only difference between us is I chose to protect the village that scorned me he set out to destroy it."

"Naruko what did Sasuke say to you?" Sakura asked, "Why did he let you kill him?"

"He knew we would both die in this battle…so did I," she said softly.

"Then why fight, and what did he say?" Sakura asked unable to understand.

"It is true that I am special…however…you are even more special than I am," Naruko said softly, "he died so my dream could live on, he thought I was too special to die here…but I was ready to die…but I guess being a Shinobi I have to always be ready to die."

"But Sasuke is right, you are special not because of you power, but because of your gifts," Kakashi said, "Not many could fight for a village that hated them so, not many could go into battle ready to fight their best friend to save those some people who looked down on them. You have the ability to change those around you…you even changed Sasuke even if it was in the end. Your father would be proud Jiraiya would be proud, your mother would be proud. I am proud to call you my student and friend."

"Thank you Kakashi-Sensei," she said smiling.

"So… about those Christmas pictures?" Ron asked in an off handed tone.

"Naruko how much Chakra do you have left?" Kakashi asked.

"Not much why?" she asked frowning.

"Oh nothing…" he said as he pulled out a picture, Naruko's face went bright red, she was sleeping across the top of Shikamaru where only a tank-top and panties pulled under her left arm was Hinata who had fainted and under her other was Sakura.

"This is rather cute…in a sexy kind of way," Ron said. Then they all froze when the felt the most fowl Chakra any of them had ever felt in their lives.

"Kakashi," said a sweet voice called out to him, "I hope you are ready to die now."

"I thought you said you didn't have much Chakra left," Kakashi said nervously.

"I don't…but the Jubi still has plenty," And with that Kakashi vanished.

"I will get you for this!" she shouted.

19 years later

A dark haired man made his way to a gate alone with his family, he was with his red headed wife and children his brother in law and sister in law and theirs kids.

"Dad where are we?" the eldest of the Potter boys asked.

"We are visiting an old friend of mine in Konoha," Harry said.

"Why this place looks…" what this place looked like they never found out, for James had seen a black haired girl with bright blue eyes looking up at the sky from under a tree.

Her bored gaze turned to the new arrivals, "hello I am James Potter and you are?"

She just looked at him as if she couldn't understand a word coming out of his mouth, "James did you forget they speak Japanese here?" Rose Weasley said to her cousin.

"Hello name is Weasley Rose, and this is my cousin Potter James," Rose said.

"Nara Kushina," she replied in a lazy tone, "Potter did you say I think that troublesome woman is waiting for someone by the name of Potter."

"She said her name is Kushina…and that a troublesome woman is waiting for a Potter." Rose said more for her cousins benefit the rest of them had bothered to learn some Japanese before coming on this trip.

"Can you take us to her?" Harry asked.

"Hai," she said getting to her feet.

"Hey sis who are they?" a blond haired man asked with dark brown eyes. He looked to be a few years older than his sister. He was smiling brightly and his warm personality seemed almost infectious the potters and Weasleys could help but to smile when they saw him. But his cheer personality seemed to have no effect on his sister.

"They are here to see that troublesome woman," she said in a bored tone.

"You are just like Dad," he said smiling.

"And you are just like mom."

"Well I have a mission so I need to get going," he said patting her head and causing her to frown slightly, "I hope you guys enjoy your stay in Konoha."

Kushina took them to the Hokage tower then, she didn't even bother knocking she just opened the door, "Mom your guest have arrived," she said in a bored tone.

They stepped in the room to see a blond who looked to be in her twenties, she was very pretty long blond hair and bright blue eyes and whisker marks on her cheeks.

"Wow…she is your friend? She is hot?" James said unaware that she could speak English.

"Why thank you… this must be your son Harry…James was it," she said smiling kindly.

"Yes, and you have a daughter," Harry said surprised.

"Yes and a son, he is sixteen and my lovely daughter who takes after her father is twelve," Naruko said smiling.

"So who is her father?" Ron asked.

"What do you what all these missions are so troublesome," they heard someone say from behind them. They turned to see someone who looked familiar.

"You guys remember Shikamaru…my husband," she said they all remembered him, they didn't know him very well but they did know that he thought everything thing was troublesome.

"You know if you stopped calling her a troublesome woman you won't get into so much trouble or if you grew a pair," Kushina said in her bored tone.

"She may have my personality but she has your mouth," Shikamaru said in his lazy tone. The door opened again and a woman with long dark hair walked into the room.

"Naruko-Sama, the Kazekage said he will be here in a few days for the Chunin exams," she said.

"Hinata don't call me Sama it makes me feel old," Naruko said then she got to her feet, "I have an idea why don't we all go out for drinks and we can catch up."

"Don't you remember what happened last time we went out for drinks," Hinata said.

"No," Naruko answered in an innocent tone.

"What happened last time you went out for drinks?" Ron asked.

"I don't think your wife will like it if I told you," Hinata's face went bright red.

"I thought you didn't remember," Hinata said embarrassed.

"May I do maybe I don't," she said taking Hinata and Shikamaru by the arms leaving her office smiling brightly.
