Naruto : Saga of Tanya the Kunoichi

"Mm. Okay dear…" Kiba didn't think too much. Tsuyu was strong and can come and go in an instant anyways. He was used to her randomly going for a minute through a portal and randomly appearing again.

A portal opened. She stepped out, waiting outside of her home. She didn't want Naruto to knock and wake up Kouga. It's already hard enough for him to go to sleep with his excess energy.

Wait, he was awake and acting around by himself. Sigh… whatever. Tsuyu let him be after checking with her Byakugan.

Tsuyu sat on the marble chair and table, gazing at the moon waiting for him.

The steps approaching finally arrived. And there they were. Naruto rushed straight to her, standing overlooking all of her.

Tsuyu's gaze didn't change. "Have a seat… nii-san. It's late…"

Instead, Naruto didn't sit down. His eyes looked at her with anger.

"What rights do you have to tell anyone! I am doing fine!"

"N-naruto…-" Hinata finally catched up, but she didn't dare to go any closer, seeing Naruto confronting Tsuyu.

"And really… influencing your children? I just cared dammit! They are my nephew, my niece. What do you mean you want me to stay away from them ha?!"

"Just as you cannot trust me. I cannot trust you either…" Tsuyu was calm. She already expected an outcome where Naruto might get angry over this.

"No. No, I do trust you. I just want to… to… Watch out for them. Doesn't mean I don't trust you." Naruto said quickly.

"Stop lying."

"I am not!" 

Tsuyu's eyes turned colder. The same cold, heartless expression that reminded Naruto who she was.

"I made this decision. Stay. Away. From my children."

Her eyes glaring sharp and cold, without any hint of hesitation.

"Damn it… you…" Naruto bit his lips. His expression unwilling to be told what to do.

Seconds passed in silence.

Hinata stepped closer, taking Naruto's hand. But he pulled his hand away coldly. 

"What did you say to Hinata…" Naruto felt his anger about reaching its limit again.

"Naruto… don't…" Hinata didn't want them to fight. Not like this.

"That you are a mess inside..." Tsuyu looked at Naruto, seeing his angry expression.

Nii-san… haven't you realised it yourself… how you are now…

"Damn you! Why are you making them worried for nothing! I am fine! I AM FINE! And did you tell Boruto too?!"

"I did… he's a smart child. He understood your situation."

"WHY YOU-! He's just a child! Why are you… you are… you are making them look at me like a moron!"

Naruto grabbed Tsuyu's collar, pulling her up from her stool. His hands shaking, trembling in pure anger. Tears pooled in his eyes. It was shameful, it was embarrassing, it was horrifying that Hinata and Boruto looked at him like he was a pitiful, stupid wounded creature.

"Because you are a moron." Tsuyu said coldly.

Just then Naruto moved his hand away from her, and swung it down wanting to beat her face.

Hinata was shocked.

Naruto, calm down! Kurama himself was shocked.

But an inch before it could hit- Tsuyu's blue eyes turned into Byakugan.

Blast!

Naruto was slapped with an invincible force, sending him back meters away.

"DAMN YOU…!" Naruto stood up. Even Kurama chakra was drained as he entered KCM mode.

Naruto! What the hell are you doing!

Naruto ignored Kurama and rushed like lightning to Tsuyu. His entire body filled with anger.

Tsuyu sighed, her Rinnesharingan opened from her forehead. It's as if he really lost it. She just watched as Naruto approached her. She didn't move, she just watched him like he's a child throwing tantrums back to their old days…

Naruto was about to land a punch on her… but he stopped an inch before hitting her face. He just couldn't. Not when Tsuyu was just looking and not fighting back at all.

"Tsuyu…" Naruto's voice contained so many emotions in them, anger, frustration, fear. Tears in his eyes vaporized from the chakra mode.

Tsuyu's eyes went cold for a second. You need to wake up.

Godly Vacuum Fist.

Tsuyu moved her arm back, and launched a frontal punch right into Naruto's gut. His muscles and flesh were crushed.

Like a truck hitting his stomach, the contents churned, blood spat out of his mouth as his body was flung out hundred meters away, crashing and destroying all trees along the way. The ground shook, the earth cracked and split from the force of her punch.

"Naruto!" Hinata was sent back tens of meters away from the sheer excess force of her punch.

Naruto coughed out blood. His breathing rapidly as he weakly got up. The horrifying dent on his stomach recovered itself.

Naruto…! Even Kurama was scared.

A portal opened in front of Naruto, but before he could respond, the hand mercilessly pulled his collar into the portal. Naruto found himself right in the sky, hanging from her hand. Naruto pushed Tsuyu's hand away, and wanted to land a fist on her. But she slapped it away, and right after spun to deliver an axe kick right to his abdomen.

Like a meteor Naruto was sent falling right down, creating another burst of destruction beneath in the Forest of Death she brought him to.

The ground was cracked and flattened around him. The surrounding trees fell.

Naruto felt his bones shattered, pain filled all of his body as tears flowed from him. But he healed again and still stood up.

A portal opened, Tsuyu took a step out of it coldly. She raised her hand, a cold sharp chakra rod pierced into Naruto's abdomen, causing him to scream in pain.

"Ahh..-"

Tsuyu twisted the rod further, pushing it deeper.

"Are you awake now?"

"Damn you…!" Naruto mustered his strength to pull it out, but couldn't.

Instead, he weaved hand seals, creating two shadow clones that went on her. She had to pull away for a second, beating the shadow clone, then the other. Hundreds of Shadow Clones in KCM mode were summoned and all rushed at her.

"This is ridiculous…" She muttered coldly in annoyance.

She took a deep breath, chakra gathered, her Tenseigan bloomed, Collapse Release chakra churned in all of her body. She clasped her hands, sending destructive force outward that overturned the world!

Shin'en Tensei!

The ground cracked, destroyed and was torn off beneath her feet. The trees crushed into pieces in an instant, the shadow clones were all crushed to oblivion and along with it the creation of a hundred meter radius flat land in the Forest of Death.

Tsuyu looked with her Tenseigan and locked onto the real Naruto. She walked into a portal and stood overlooking him, taking her steps slowly. He was heavily injured, panting heavily like a dying dog. Blood oozed from his flesh. The sizzles of his flesh being mended were still audible in Tsuyu's ears.

Tsuyu sighed again. She wanted to stop, really.

But as she looked, Naruto's eyes were already combined with a horizontal slit and a vertical one.

Surprising even her, Naruto stood back up and landed a fist right to her chest, but quickly blocked it with her hands.

As she was sent flying back, Naruto rushed with speed almost matching Tsuyu's own. None of his fists were able to land properly, deflected and dodged while each of Tsuyu's punches mush his flesh and organs. The forest was turning into ruins from their battle.

Sasuke already appeared with ANBU following behind him. He was shocked to see what's happening in the forest. Their chakra signature made the ground tremble for all of Konoha.

"Was it an enemy!?" An ANBU asked in shock and worry.

"No… it's… Naruto and Tsuyu…! They were fighting. Oh god…" The Hyuga seeing them fight like Gods and destroying everything around them can only gulp. He never knew this was what the top three strongest people in the world were truly like. His world view was turned upside down.

"Stay farther away!" Sasuke shouted.

"Yes, Hokage-sama!" The ANBU replied, only able to look helplessly through the dust and debris. The sound of explosions and destruction kept ringing in their ears, the trees in the forests collapsed and destroyed as if the two were two living calamities. Only the Hyuga clansmen can see their battle clearly.

Naruto was sent tumbling into the ground from another kick, creating another huge crater and splatter of blood once more. His chakra limbs pushed himself up, and with his hands, a giant concentrated dark red mass of chakra was being created.

Kurama inside of Naruto was screaming at him non-stop for him to stop him to no avail.

Tsuyu's expression turned almost tired. She raised her own hand, a void covered with a ring of light created in her hand.

Sasuke looked at the two nutjobs with shock. Tsuyu why are you even-! You don't even have to use that!

"STOP, YOU TWO!" Sasuke screamed out as he rushed to stop them. Neither cared and rushed at each other.

Great Bijuu Rasengan!

Spiralling Abyss!

The siblings rushed at each other, the masses of chakra collided, like a supernova an explosion engulfed both of them…

***

… Naruto found himself in a different space after they were both covered in that light. As he looked forward, there she was. His sister.

They only stare at each other silently.

As Naruto looked, Tsuyu's figure was as at the time they fought together against Kaguya.

"Nii-san… I only want to help you find peace… You know I care for you." Tsuyu said softly. Finally, she got through to him.

"Tsu-chan…" 

In Tsuyu's view, it was as if Naruto had turned into his child self, shedding tears in front of her.

"I… I can't… I don't want to worry them… Please… just leave me alone… I am doing fine… I really…" He said so, but he was still crying in front of her. That Naruto couldn't hide his feelings in this place.

Tsuyu stepped forward closer to him, her teen self turned into her 12 year old self. 

She sighed, her breath shaky as she hugged him.

"You are not fine at all. You aren't at peace. You are just… distracting yourself all the time haven't you…"

Tsuyu patted the child's head… 

"Ahh… nnnh… I… I can't… please…" He shed tears as he broke down.

"Let your family in Naruto… they want to help you…"

"No… I don't need help… Stop pitying me… Don't look at me like that… It's all your fault! You told them! Why?! Hinata, my children, they were all happy! Why are you ruining it all!? Now they look at me like I am a fucking loser!" His tears stopped and turned into anger.

Naruto punched Tsuyu's body like a kid throwing a tantrum. Tsuyu looked down on kid Naruto, with sadness in her eyes.

"Because you weren't at peace…"

"What does that matter… I can handle it… I don't need anyone else to help… I am not weak. I don't want anyone to pity me… especially not you… I am a shinobi damn it… I am a fucking grown up… I will feel happy… Everything was going fine… I had Hinata and my kids… that's already enough… I am going to be fine… damn it…" His voice was shaky, his hands stopped beating Tsuyu's body. Not that she felt anything to begin with.

"... You have always tried to reach out for others… why are you refusing when others tried to reach out for you."

"I don't need it!" Naruto shouted, the space around them cracked.

"You need to accept yourself first… Naruto… stop lying to yourself. You were not fine with everything. Not at all…"

"FUCK OFF! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"

The space cracked more and more. Tsuyu was getting anxious.

"Naruto-" 

The space disappeared as she was pushed away. Tsuyu opened her eyes. Her white robe was a bit tattered, her body was hurt a lot, but she recovered quickly even her white robe.

She looked at the surroundings, a kilometer radius area was turned into a flatland in the forest. Her Byakugan locked onto Naruto, his breath weak, but still alive. Kurama was still able to heal him. He was just there, lying on the ground with blood pooling beneath him. Tsuyu adjusted her own strength to match him carefully.

Tsuyu walked closer to Naruto. Tears shed silently from his empty eyes. He was just staring at the stars above. As if his scar was torn open and the pain flooded in him until he couldn't move.

Sasuke appeared with a disheveled appearance. He even had to use Susanoo to block the aftermath of these nutjobs.

"You two…" 

Tsuyu looked at Sasuke. While he's here, might as well tell him the context before he could ask or misunderstand.

Tsukoyomi!

Sasuke found himself in a genjutsu world, but didn't resist. The scenes replayed, Sasuke just watched silently, and understood the cause and effect.

To think he kept so much from everyone… and even lash out.

Sasuke felt his own heart hurting for him.

As Sasuke exited the genjutsu world, he just looked at Naruto, now looking broken. Not just physically, but perhaps spiritually. 

"Sasuke… me and him only had a 'spar'. We had Otsutsuki to worry about and had to stay sharp." Tsuyu gave Sasuke a really justified excuse to explain to the village higher ups.

"Got it."

Tsuyu opened a portal and let Hinata come to fetch him. Kouga!? This kid…

Kouga, the busybody, had noticed the happenings the moment Naruto used KCM mode in the beginning. His Shiyogan saw it all. He looked excited seeing the aftermath of Tsuyu's powerful fist contrary to the heavy atmosphere everyone else was feeling. He didn't know it was a serious fight and not some spar or whatever.

"Uncle…!" Kouga looked at Naruto who's like a dead dog on the ground, being held by his aunty Hinata. Then he looked at the surroundings, wondering where even this was. But he could see the leftover chakra in the air, that these two chakra's belonged to his mom and uncle, that the two fought, creating these disasters.

Tsuyu sighed. This kid of mine really couldn't read the room.

She turned her focus back on Naruto. His eyes already closed, his hands covering his face, turning away from Hinata.

As if he was just, ashamed and embarrassed in front of her.

I will leave him to you…

"I am going back." Tsuyu said to Sasuke. A portal opened, she grabbed Kouga by the collar and dragged him with her to their home.

"Kaa-san! What happened?" Kouga looked up at his mom in curiosity.

"A spar with your uncle." She said flatly.

"Suge… uncle is really strong too…!"

"Yes. Now go to sleep… sigh."

Seeing Kouga scurrying to his bedroom, she returned to her own. Kiba was anxious waiting by the window. He heard the noise after Tsuyu landed her Godly Vacuum Fist, and the split earth too.

"Tsuyu. What happened?" Kiba let out a sigh of relief seeing her fine.

"I had a spar with Naruto."

"A spar huh…" Kiba looked at Tsuyu's calm expression, but he knew she was just lying to keep things simple.

"... What Naruto was mad about this time." Kiba just asked directly, pulling Tsuyu into bed to get her to relax.

"Sigh…I guess he was mad that I told Hinata and Boruto he was not doing fine. He said I ruined everything, that now they look at him like he's some moron, in his words."

"Uh. That's rough… But as a man I get it, he wanted to keep his pride too ya know. His ego was hurt, I think."

"... Is that so?" Tsuyu tried to think about it. She didn't think in that perspective before.

"Hehe. But not me. You are too good and too strong for me~ Nothing wrong admitting I had too great of a wife."

"Right…" Tsuyu rolled her eyes.

Kiba rolled Tsuyu on the bed, now facing her on top, his body pressed close to her. His hand combed her long smooth blonde hair gently, twirling the end of her hair in his fingers. 

"Don't get stressed… you have me. Mm~?"

Tsuyu just huffed, hiding her flushed cheeks as she rationalised it was just a recreational activity to relieve oneself from stress as a part of a healthy stress management. She definitely didn't enjoy it, yes, definitely.
