Two years later
The young blonde sighed as he had just finished training with his sensei Kakashi as he thought back to the day after the attack that changed his life. Soon after Naruto accepted the proposal from the Hokage and was strong enough to undergo the surgery with only the anbu staff inoichi Kakashi surprisingly Mikito and the mystery girl showed up much to the surprise of the others as she only said it was for her best friend child. When he woke up and revealed his new eye to everyone's surprise, it seemed like Naruto's old eye but the bigger shock was when Kakashi asked to mold some chakra as everyone looked at how his eye changed color while his other eye was different. From then on Kakashi would put days to training him specifically.
The days would consist of him correcting what the orphanage should have taught him like how to read, and write, and his math skills as he added shinobi history, cooking, and business. During his shinobi training, Kakashi taught him basic stretches and strength exercises, followed by Kakashi starting to teach him space-time theory, fuinjutsu, human anatomy, psychology and even weapon handling like how to use them in a battle followed by extensive training in chakra control and his bloodline when he "discovered'' after the attack. Hence, they decided to keep it a secret for now. During this time Kakashi had grown to be Naruto's main support as he would go to him about anything causing their bond to strengthen.
During the time Kakashi has to take a mission, he meets with the mystery girl who tried to help him that night discovering her name is Suki both quickly become friends having similar lives, and start to arrange play dates when she is in the village or the times she'd sneak out of her house to visit him at night and talk as they created a strong bond between them. But thinking of Suki he remembered someone else.
Flashback
Naruto and Kakashi were walking on the streets to a store Kakashi had observed how some villagers gave Naruto bad items to naruto so he made sure to show him some people who wouldn't hurt Naruto and possibly help him.
As they entered a weapons shop named 'the Golden Kunai' when they entered Naruto saw all the weapons they had his eyes shining bright like stars. Kakashi noticing this smiled as a tall man with tan skin muscular build brown hair and a blacksmith apron was with his daughter a slightly tan girl with brown hair in two buns that made her look like a panda as she was working with a kunai. "Hello Kakashi what can I do for you and who's the gaki," said the man.
"Hello Daichi-san I'm here to get some weapons and training gear and this is Naruto Uzumaki," said Kakashi. This got Daichi's attention his eyes widened when he saw the blonde hair and blue eye behind Kakashi having to stop himself from saying Minato. Then he remembered his old teammate and had a melancholy look "I see why you are training him" asked Daichi. " he had a bad attack last night and I'm going to start teaching him since I stopped thrusting the system" said Kakashi sadly. As Daichi nodded ever since the civilians took control it's been bad. "Hey tenten dear would you mind showing Naruto around the store" said Daichi as his daughter stopped what she was doing and smiled "Sure pops," said Tenten as he went to look at Naruto blushing slightly at seeing his whisker. As she extended her hand everyone noticed how Naruto had to look at Kakashi who nodded.
"Go ahead naruto she won't hurt you I'm going to be here in any case," Kakashi told him as he patted his head naruto nodded and slowly walked towards her Daichi noticed his guard up and couldn't help but be sad "So how bad has he had it." he asked Kakashi looked down giving him the answer as they started to get some weapons while tenten had started to talk as naruto kept it short when she said " Hey wanna be my friend" "huh we just met," said Nruto. Shrugging "You seem cool and I'm interested in what you are training in because you are a shinobi right I'm also going to be one," This shocked Naruto as they continued with Tenten slowly melting Naruto's heart. Since then he would visit her and sometimes play games while also training.
end of flashback
Now he was walking through the street tired "Damn you Kakashi-nee-san he's so intended in training " muttered Naruto "Don't whine like a baby" said Kurama. "Geez thanks for the help," thought Naruto who after some talking had come to a mutual agreement with Naruto to change his mindscape to a lush forest, and a giant tree with nice shade for a nap, the cage was transformed into a collar with the kanji for seal, he would also give Kurama to his five senses and a mental link so they could talk.
As he made his way to his favorite ramen stand, he quickly entered it. "hey old man" said Naruto taking a seat behind the counter. "Ah, naruto it's been a while who's training," Teuchi said before he called his daughter to come from the back of the shop. "The Usual chakra control and weapon handling," said Naruto, as a girl with light brown hair around his age skipped out flour on her face like on her hair appeared. "you needed something pops" asked the girl before her eyes landed on her favorite blonde. "Oh hey naruto-kun!"
"Hey, Ayame-chan working hard," asked Naruto as he was tackled by Ayame who rubbed some flour on him as well. "Yup," she exclaimed puffing out her chest "Someone has to keep this place running." earning snickers from Naruto and a couple of laughs from Teuchi at his daughter's antics. "So Naruto what's it going to be today naruto," asked Teuchi. "The Usual," said Naruto. They started working on it while Naruto talked to them. With the sky turning dark Naruto got up paying "Thanks for the meal old man" said Naruto "I better get going since it's getting dark" he finished with a slight frown.
"Ayame be a dear and take Naruto home" Teuchi said, knowing full well of Ayame's growing feelings for their favorite blonde. "Of course, Dad," said Ayame as she made a move to join the boy when she was stopped. "Sorry ayame-chan but I can't let you do that," He said smiling sadly "You know how the villagers feel about me and I can't allow myself to put you in harm's way just for me."
"But I just don't want to see you like the other times," said Ayame frowning as she walked into Naruto's apartment only to see him hurt or bruised up. "I'll be fine I'm training to be a shinobi now," he said as he gently hugged Ayame who didn't want to let him go. " Plus darkness is a shinobi's ally and I'll be the best shinobi believe it," he said with a smile pulling back his head from Ayame who reluctantly let him go.
They couldn't help but chuckle believing he would, especially with his selfless attitude. The fact that he didn't want to put Ayame in any sort of danger only increased the man's respect for him. And fueled the feelings his daughter had growing for him. Both looked away trying to hide the blush they had.
Without saying anything else, Naruto left the ramen stand making his way toward his apartment the Hokage managed to get him. Like everything else about the boy, he was met with resistance from the civilians. In the end, a compromise had to be arranged with him getting a run-down apartment in the red light district. While the Hokage had intended to give him a nice apartment at first the civilians had to intervene by being the ones that chose the apartment. In all honestly naruto didn't mind as it would've been ruined by the graffiti and vandalism.
"I still don't get why we can't just show them why to fear us" growled Kurama. "Because it'll cause us more trouble since we are 'technically' a civilian" sighed Naruto in his thoughts.
That's when he noticed a small group of people blocking his way looking around he noticed it was behind him as they began to corner him in an alley on the street. "Well, well seems like the demon survived the previous 'hunt' huh," said a civilian. "no matter we will finish the job," said a shinobi throwing a kunai.
However, to everyone's surprise, another kunai intercepted knocking it out of the air. A few seconds later a lone feminine figure jumped down from the roof. Nauto noted she had purple hair in a pineapple style. Her burgundy t-shirt hid her figure and a pair of khaki shorts. "Well well well what do we have here some idiots teaming up against a kid," she said as she twirled a kunai on her finger and she stared down at the mob.
"Great, figures when Kakashi-nee starts helping me to defend myself someone else decides to interfere,' Naruto frowned to himself. Not that he wasn't grateful for the help, but now with the girl defending him, he couldn't in good conscience leave her.
"It's no surprise the snake whore would defend the demon brat," said the male shinobi taunted. This got the girl to glare only to turn into a sinister grin as the snake she had previously summoned was in position. Without warning the snake struck, sinking its fangs deep into the flesh, injecting a massive load of venom as it did so. Yelling out in pain, the man kicked the snake away before turning to see the woman before him. When an idea to finish the snake whore and demon brat appeared so in a last-ditch effort he threw two kunai with explosive tags. As Anko realizes where they were pointing wasn't her they insert themselves in a wall beside the now running blonde. Seeing this she curses herself as she jumps in front of the boy trying to save him. The crowd quickly disperses thinking they've succeeded as the tags explode sending debris and shrapnel all over the alleyway. A fair amount hit the girl on the back, ripping off her shirt and skin as blood began to pool around her.
The two pariahs didn't have time to think about their position as the wall fell over burying the two in a pile of dust and debris luckily their side had left a big enough pocket for the two not to be crushed. "Why why would you save me?" asked a shocked Naruto no one aside from a very small group of people had even tried to help him.
"You were in *cough* danger, do I *cough* need another question," she said with a fake smile. But Naruto could see through the farce he saw the same pain hate and loneliness he had in her eyes. As Anko falls unconscious. 'Kurama, is there anything we can do, we can't just leave her like this.' Asked Naruto mentally.
"She's heavily injured i doubt she would make it to the hospital there's one thing but I wonder how she'll react when she wakes up." Said Kurama. "Which is" asked Naruto. "Mark her as your mate," said Kurama. "Wait what isn't anything else we can do," asked Naruto. "Like I said theirs another option but you don't have the control or even knowledge on how it even works you could screw her more with them, it's not like you'll be mates unless she does the same with you if not it'll disappear unless a week," Kurama said "Now you'll have to inject your hanyou chakra into her that will heal her, so just bite her on her shoulder or you'll lose her " growled the fox warning his container.
Sighing he knew arguing was useless, as he gently turned the unconscious girl around to face him. He couldn't help but note that she was cute. He uncovered her shoulder leaned down and bit into the girl's shouldre as he let his hanyou chakra flow through his body into her.
He could slowly feel warmth in her body return as his chakra began to heal her body. As he slowly withdrew himself he saw that in the place where he bit appeared the head of a black fox with red eyes two katanas behind the head as a red circle appeared. 'So this Is my mark head it's pretty cool' thought Naruto with Kurama nodding.
At this, Naruto sees a slight glow of intricate seals in the shape of three comas then hears a popping sound and smoke starts to rise from her neck. "It seems like she had another mark, oh well I hope it wasn't anything she was attached to," said the fox with obvious amusement.
Before Naruto could respond to Kurama's remark he heard the girl begin to groan, signaling she was about to wake up. Slowly stirring she sat up and groggily rubbed her neck. "Are you okay?" the blonde asked even though she was, his chakra had made sure of it. Mentally and emotionally was another case. "What the hell just happened" asked the girl disoriented.
"you saved me from a mob of villagers who wanted to kill me," replied the blonde like it wasn't much. "But would you risk yourself to save me?"
"Because you needed help why else would I do that" she said. She hated the idea of a bunch of cowards taking advantage of a child. At this moment what was going through her mind was how she was feeling despite having been hit by the blast she didn't feel discomfort or pain. "What happened to me? I'm no doctor but I know I shouldn't have fainted from a simple injury," Asked the girl looking at the silhouette of the boy who let out a sigh. "You were seriously injured and to save you I had to mark you as my mate," saidNarutoo a little embarrassed. "Mark me?" asked Anko displeased.
"Yes, Because of the attack I suffered two years ago I became a hanyou or half-demon, to save you I had to mark you as a potential mate," he said a little bit embarrassed. "Great" the girl sighed, "Another mark at this point I should start collecting them as I seem to be a magnet for them."
"You only have one" commented Naruto. "What do you mean only one? I got marked by the snake bastard six years ago," she exclaimed. "About that, my mark overpowered it and destroyed it." Said Naruto with the moonlight finally exposing both their faces for the first time. For her par,t she was taken back by how handsome the boy was, despite being a good 5-6 years younger than her. His blue eyes seemed to glow in the dark his chakra being warm and comforting. Anko instinctively reached her neck and tried to trail with her fingers across where it once was. No lumps or anything to show it was there. She did however feel the slight raise in her skin where her new mark was. Even though she couldn't see it she traced it making a mental design, making a mental note to look at it in a mirror as soon as she could.
"You shouldn't worry it'll go away within a week or so", Said the blonde. "How would I make it permanent" she asked surprising Naruto a bit while Kurama gained a devious smile. "Well you would have to mark me like I did to you by biting me on the neck and injecting your chakra into me this will cause our chakras to mix and create a form of bond but this will also change into a hanyou."
Without warning anko moved in front of him and bit him on the neck injecting her chakra, this shocked naruto as he was surprised to feel Anko sink her teeth into his neck drawing blood much to the blonde's dismay he felt her chakra enter his body. Intinctively he clamped down as well as if sealing the ritual and mating them for life.
After the ritual, they both separated and were silent for a moment. At that point, Anko asked. "So um, what's your name" Naruto rolled his eyes at the question. "Shouldn't we have established that before we mated for life?" he said chuckling. "Anyways, I'm your resident demon brat".
"I'm the sexy and no longer single Mitarashi," said Anko earning a chuckle from Naruto " NIce to meet you," naruto said.
While on the roof a female figure jumped and disappeared her emotions were mixed about what happened she wanted to believe her fiance but she couldn't help but think he was different from what she had just seen.
