Hi! Before you read this story, I'm aware silver isn't magnetic. Here's the thing, neither is gold dust...that certainly doesn't stop Rasa (4th Kazekage) from manipulating it with magnetic chakra.
Why is this? Because both gold and silver is diamagnetic. What does that mean? It means that instead of being attracted by a magnetic field, it is repulsed! Or in scientific terms: "Diamagnetic materials create an induced magnetic field in a direction opposite to an externally applied magnetic field, and are repelled by the applied magnetic field.

SO! What this means is Naruko CAN in fact manipulate silver sand through her magnetic chakra by essentially pushing the silver.

Sorry, had to put this here because a lot of people just assumed I was an idiot who didn't think about this stuff. Rant over, thank you.

Chapter 1: Enter: Uzumaki Naruko!

In the village called Konohagakure no Sato if you looked closely you could see a twelve year old child running from several adults. The child had spiky red hair. She had dark red eyes and on her cheeks were three whisker-like marks. She wore a white t-shirt with a red spiral on the back, and a pair of black shorts. Around her neck was a medallion made of silver with the symbol of a nine-tailed fox on it. Her name was Uzumaki Naruko, the Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi no Yokō.

"Come back here you little brat!" One of the men chasing her yelled. The reason these men were chasing her was simple, Naruko was the biggest prankster in the village, and had pranked the men, who had decided she had gotten away with enough and were going to punish her. Naruko just laughed as she swung her arm, first to a stand, then towards the men. Then several frying pans and similar objects flew at them from the stand. In addition to being a Jinchūriki, this was another oddity about her; she could magnetize objects and control them using her chakra by converting it to magnetic forces. Hokage-jiji had called it "Jiton". She didn't really understand it, but she fully embraced it, having mastered the ability by using it in her pranks.

"You'll never catch me!" She laughed as the men were knocked over, leaving them cursing as she disappeared from view.

Naruko stopped and leaned on a tree to catch her breath. She had run all the way up to the forest on top of the Hokage Mountain. "Well, I think I lost them." She said to herself and decided to spend some time in the forest, to let her chasers calm down. After walking around for a while she stepped through a few bushes and heard wood groan, before the ground gave away underneath her, causing her to fall screaming and tumble down a steep passage before finally coming to a stop inside a big room.

Groaning she sat up and looked around, prompting her face to assume a dumbstruck expression. Silver…there was silver everywhere! She couldn't believe her luck, she had fallen into a silver mine! She LOVED silver! She quickly stood up and dusted herself off before setting to explore the mine.

A few hours later she climbed out of the mine, noticing it was starting to get dark. The mine was massive! She had spent hours simply exploring it, before setting to use her Jiton to break of some of the silver to bring with her. She found manipulating the silver came easier than most other metals, and her pockets were now filled with it.

A grin was on her face as she walked towards her home. Not only had she found a mine full of her favorite material, but it also effectively made her rich! Tomorrow she was going to buy so much stuff, after a visit to her Jiji.

Four years later, at the age of 16, she had graduated from the Ninja Academy and was currently sitting in front of the Hokage after taking her Ninja ID. She wore a long-sleeved fishnet shirt with a black and yellowish orange colored long-sleeved jacket with a red spiral of her clan on the back and on the sleeves over it. She wore black pants and her right leg was bandaged on her thigh, with a kunai holster on top of it, which held her special, home-made silver kunai. She also had a utility pouch at the small of her back. Around her neck she still wore her silver medallion underneath her jacket. Her hair was in the same style from four years ago. She also wore opened-toed black sandals. Her long, black clothed hitai-ate was worn on her forehead.

Life had been good to her after she found the silver mine, very few people knew about it, the Hokage being one of them. She was able to use the silver to buy a good apartment and anything she needed. She had also discovered a way to use the silver as a weapon, by grinding it into silver sand. She kept this sand in two seals on her upper arms that acted as a sort of portals, both leading to a dimension void that she had filled with her silver sand. When she wanted to use the sand she simply needed to open the seals and draw the sand out. Hokage-jiji had been amazed when she had shown it to him, claiming that Jikūkan Ninjutsu was a feat few had accomplished, his sensei the Nidaime Hokage, and her father being two of them.

"Well everything seems to be in order; you are free to go Naruko-chan." The Sandaime said. Naruko jumped to her feet and thanked him before a young boy charged into the room, yelling "Jiji! Fight me! The title of Godaime Hokage belongs to me, Konohamaru!" before tripping on his own scarf, causing Naruko to laugh loudly. Konohamaru got up asking. "Is this a trap?" As a ninja barged in and took in the scene, before asking Konohamaru. "Are you okay, young master? There are no traps by the way."

Konohamaru spotted Naruko and walked up to her pointing. "I got it. You did something, didn't you?" Naruko stopped laughing at this, getting pissed off and grabbing the boy's scarf and pulling him to her eye level. "You tripped on your own scarf! Don't go blaming other people for your mistakes you little brat!"

"Hey! Let go of him! He is the grandson of the great Sandaime Hokage!" The other man, Ebisu, yelled at her. "Huh?" Naruko said and looked disbelievingly at the boy in her grasp, who grinned at her arrogantly, thinking she wouldn't dare do anything to him. "What's the matter? Why don't you hit me if you can! You're no match for a grandson of a Hokage!"

"LIKE I GIVE A FUCK!" Naruko yelled and beat him over the head, sending him to the floor. Herself being the daughter of the Yondaime, she hated when someone thought they were untouchable because of their heritage. Ebisu looked dumbstruck while the Sandaime just sighed. "See ya, Hokage-jiji!" Naruko called back over her shoulder as she left.

Naruko sighed as she walked past a section of horizontal planks that stood out horribly from the rest of the vertical fence, Konohamaru had been following her ever since she beat him over the head, and he was doing a bad job of it too. "Gaki if you're gonna hide using that make sure you hold it correctly." The kid just laughed as he revealed himself. "Nice job detecting me. I should have expected it from the girl I've heard rumors about." He said and walked up to her. "I don't mind being your follower."

"What?"

"But in return, you have to teach me."

"Yeah right, as if I'd teach a brat like you. Besides if you've heard rumors about me I doubt you'd want to be associated with me." Naruko told him before turning to walk away. "Don't say that, please! Oyabun!" Naruko paused, pretending to think. "…Nah, get lost."

This continued for a few hours, Konohamaru continuing to follow her while she did her errands before she finally lead him to a small clearing in a forest. Spinning around she extended her leg, kicking him into a tree. "Hey what was that about?!" Konohamaru yelled at her as he got up. Naruko simply set herself in a ready stance. "You wanted me to train you right? Then defend yourself." With that she rushed at him, sending punches and kicks at him while he tried to defend himself. However he proved no match to Naruko and was soon lying on the ground, beat up and exhausted with Naruko standing above him.

"You expect to beat Hokage-jiji with those skills? You're years away from even being close to match him." She told him as she helped him up. She led him to knocked over log where she sat him down while she got some refreshments from the nearby vending machines. "Why are you so obsessed with Hokage-jiji anyway?

"Ji-chan gave me the name Konohamaru. He took it off the name of this village. But even though it's a name that everyone should have heard many times, no one calls me by that name. Whenever anyone sees me or calls me, they only see the grandson of a Hokage." Konohamaru explained. "No one recognizes me as an individual. I hate that. So I want the title of Hokage right now."

"Baka. You don't become Hokage to be recognized, you become recognized to be Hokage." Naruko told him. "It's not a title that a kid can carry so easily. You keep saying "Hokage, Hokage". If you want the title so badly…" She said and grinned. "You'll have to work for it!"

"I found you!" A voice proclaimed. Turning, they both saw Ebisu, standing on a branch looking at Naruko with hateful eyes. "Now, young master, let us go home."

"No! I'm going to defeat Jiji right now, and get the title of Hokage right now! Don't bother me!" Konohamaru yelled at him. Naruko hearing this sighed, was this kid deaf to anything she told him?

"Hokage is a title you receive when you understand the principles of morality, knowledge, loyalty, getting along with family, and can use more than 1000 techniques…" Ebisu lectured before being interrupted by Naruko.

"The Hokage are the leaders of our village, Konohagakure. They are generally acknowledged as the strongest in the village, but ideology and renown plays a large part in being chosen for the position. They are usually chosen by the current Hokage." She said.

"Yes, that is all…correct." Ebisu admitted before grabbing Konohamaru and tried to drag him away. "Come now young master. The quickest path to becoming Hokage is to listen to me!"

"The quickest path?! There is no quick path to become Hokage you idiot! It takes dedication, hard training and above all, the right belief! There's no shortcut! I'm gonna make you pay for insulting it!" Naruko told him angrily, getting him to focus on her instead of Konohamaru. "This is silly; I am an elite teacher even if I do not look like one. You can't beat me." He said arrogantly.

Naruko glared at him before smirking, as silver sand rose behind him. She had sent some into the ground while he was distracted with Konohamaru. The sand formed into a big rectangular block that slammed Ebisu into the ground, knocking him out. Naruko sighed before muttering. "Don't underestimate your opponents, bakayarō."

Turning she walked away but called back to Konohamaru before she was out of sight. "You can't be the next Hokage, Konohamaru. 'Cause that'll be me! But grow strong, and I'll be happy to give the title to you, when my time is up."

Naruko sighed as she sat in her now former classroom; listen to Sakura complaining about their sensei being late. Currently only she, Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke where the only occupants, everybody else already having left with their sensei. Even their former sensei, Umino Iruka, had left, having other duties to attend to. Naruko, Sakura and Sasuke had been put on a team together with Hatake Kakashi as their sensei.

Naruko already knew him, he had been part of her ANBU guard when she was young, and he had helped her out when he could. He had explained to her that he felt it was his duty, as her father's student. Naruko had even started seeing him as an older brother of sorts, affectionately calling him "Kaka-nī"

"Sakura, give it a break already, Kaka-nī always arrives three hours late." Naruko told her before looking at the clock. "So he should arrive any minute now." Right as she stopped speaking the door to the classroom opened, and a ninja with white hair stepped inside. Naruko grinned and threw an oval shaped object at him. "Think fast Kaka-nī!" Kakashi didn't even glance at her as he leaned back, letting the object fly past him before leaning forward as the object swung around and came back at him, before landing in Naruko's hand again.

"I see you're as insufferable as always Naruko-chan." Kakashi commented before turning to the two others in the room. Sakura looked dumbfounded that Naruko would seemingly attack their superior. Sasuke simply looked impassive like usual. "My first impression of you two is…you're boring."

"Let's see, why don't you introduce yourselves." Kakashi said after they all had moved to the rooftop.

"Introduce ourselves? What should we say?" Sakura asked. Kakashi shrugged and said. "What you like, hate, your dreams, and hobbies. Something like that. I can go first.

I'm Hatake Kakashi. I have no intention of telling you my likes and dislikes. As for my dream…I have few hobbies." He told them. Sakura's eye twitched as she muttered "All we learned was his name." Naruko grinned before speaking up. "He's Hatake Kakashi. His likes are to make up dumb excuses to why he's late, salt-broiled saury and miso soup with eggplant. He greatly dislikes being photographed without his mask and any food that's fried or sweet. He also hates those who would abandon their comrades. His hobby is to read the Icha Icha series."

Kakashi gave her a lazy glare. "Thank you for that Naruko-chan." Naruko smirked at him, even though she knew she'd pay for that. "Now it's your turn." He continued. "You first." He said pointing to Naruko.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruko. I like ramen, red bean soup and silver! I dislike the three minutes that ramen takes to cook and people who can't tell the kunai from the scroll. My hobbies are training, pulling pranks and taking care of my plants. My dream is to become the first female Hokage!" She told them. Kakashi hummed before turning to Sakura. "Okay, next."

"I'm Haruno Sakura! I like…well, the person I like is…And my hobby is…well, my dream is to…" Sakura said, glancing several times at Sasuke before giving a high-pitched squeal.

"And? What do you hate?" Kakashi asked her. "Ino-pig!" She exclaimed fiercely.

"Hmm okay then, last one, go."

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. There are many things that I hate, and there aren't a lot of things that I like. Also, I have an ambition that I have no intention to leave as just a dream. The revival of my clan, and to…kill a certain man." Sasuke stated ominously.

The others stared at him for a bit before Naruko spoke up. "Sooo, in what order is that?" She asked, bringing the attention to her. "Like, are you going to revive your clan first, or kill this man first? Because what if you try to kill the man and fail and get killed, then you can't revive your clan." Once she finished she noticed the others staring at her. "What?"

"Alright, you three all have unique personalities. I like that. We're going to begin a mission starting tomorrow." Kakashi said, getting them back on track. "First, we're going to do something that we four can do. Survival training."

"Survival training? Why are we going to train when it's a mission? We had plenty of training at the academy." Sakura asked. Naruko had to repress a laugh; Sakura wasn't exactly well trained, Naruko was unsure if she'd even be able to beat a normal bandit.

"This is no ordinary training." Kakashi told them and started chuckling to himself. Naruko scowled. "Oi Kaka-nī just tell us already."

"Well, if I say this, I'm sure you three are going to be surprised. Out of the twenty seven graduates, only nine are going to become Genin. The other eighteen will be sent back to the academy. In other words, this training is going to be a very hard test with a dropout rate of 66%." He said, shocking the three Genin aspirants.

"See? You three are surprised!" Kakashi laughed at their shock. "Wait, then what was the final exam for?" Sakura asked.

"That? It just picks out those who are qualified to become a Genin." Kakashi explained before continuing. "Anyway, I'm going to determine whether or not you pass or fail tomorrow at the training grounds. Bring your shinobi equipment and meet at 5 A.M!"

"Now then, meeting over. Oh yeah, don't eat breakfast. You're going to throw up if you do." He told them before disappearing in a puff of smoke. Naruko sighed as she stood up and addressed the others. "Don't listen to Kaka-nī; he's just trying to play with your heads. There is no way only nine out of twenty seven graduates become Genin, if that was the case we'd have a very small force of shinobi. And it's better to eat and puke than not eat and not have the energy to fight." She advised them before using her own Ginsa Shunshin to leave.

AN: Yay new story! It was a close one between this story and Kādo Yōshiki no Naruko but Ginsa no Naruko won with one vote! To those wondering, yes Naruko knows about her status as a Jinchūriki and who her parents are. In this story Hiruzen believed Naruko could handle the information at an early age. I moved the age when they start and graduate the academy so everyone is four years older, meaning the Rookie Nine are sixteen, Team Gai are seventeen and the Konohamaru Corps are twelve. Naruko has red hair from her mother, and red eyes as an influense from the Kyūbi. (Cover image.)

As for Naruko's fighting style, unlike Gaara she will mainly use her silver sand to form objects and weapons to use against her opponents. Though there will be some similarities, obviously. Also on the subject of Jiton (Magnet Release), the elements used to create it has never been confirmed. However, I personally believe it is Raiton and Doton, and therefor these are the chakra natures Naruko will have.

Till next time, Cuius of Caelum
