To say I'm stronger than I was three years ago would be.....an understatement. I was waiting on Ino so we can get back to the leaf, and I looked at my hand. I watched as some flames went back and forth across my hand, and clutched my hand into a fist, extinguishing it.

The door opened and revealed Ino, who had a huge grin.

"How do you feel?" I asked her.

"Like I could take on anybody!" She said, looking around the room. "Err, after my eyes adjust anyway." She remarked, squinting.

Yeah, it's different from seeing normally. You'll be fine. How's the arm working?" I asked.

She held up her arm, and grinned.

"Feels just like I always have a part of you with me." She said.

"Technically you do. You ready to head back?" I asked.

She nodded, and we left.

We got back to the village, and were immediately swarmed with questions, mostly Ino.

"Woah, were you guys really excited for me to come back?" A familiar voice asked from behind me.

I turned around, and saw none other than Naruto.

"Woah, Y/n! You look so different! Kinda scary now actually." The blonde remarked.

"You look exactly the same. Kinda annoying still actually." I said.

"Grr, take that back!" He shouted.

"Make me. If you even can." I said to him.

You better fuck him up this time, you damn brat!

Been a while since I heard from Shukaku. Forgot he even existed for a while honestly.

"Actually, I want my rematch! You let me win at the chunin exams, but this time I'll prove I deserve it!" He shouted at me.

"Alright, deal. I won't use my Mangekyou Sharingan to keep it fair. Don't wanna crush you and your dreams too soon." I said.

"I don't care about that whatever, I want you to go all out!" He shouted.

"Alright then. If you insist." I said.

We were at the training grounds, and I just looked at Naruto who was stretching. I'm gonna use my mangekyou like I promised, but I won't use either of my eyes' abilities. Naruto couldn't handle anything like that.

He finished stretching, and pointed at me.

"I'm gonna take you down, Y/n!" He shouted at me.

"I'd like to see you try." I responded.

We were being watched by Tsunade, Kakashi, Sakura, and Ino. I can't lose while Ino's watching.

Naruto shouted and charged me, making three clones. I knocked out the first two with one hit, and blocked the attacks of the real one and the clone simultaneously.

They both made several clones, that surrounded me. I kicked them both, dispelling the clone and knocking back the original. I jumped high into the air, and did several handsigns.

"Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" I shouted, before firing off several fire balls that destroyed all of the clones, leaving one.

I dropped to the ground, and watched the clone make his staple attack, before charging me.

I scoffed and made a chidori, causing his eyes to widen, before it was consumed by flames and became a fire style attack. I charged towards him, and we met in the middle.

"Rasengan!"

"Burning Chidori!"

My attack sliced straight through his, and pierced him. He gripped my arm keeping me from grabbing him. I stomped, resulting in me stomping on the Naruto's head, who was underground.

I threw the clone off of me, and ripped the blonde out of the ground.

"Naruto, if you plan to win, you won't be able to use attacks that I've seen you use before." I told him.

"Guess it's a good thing I knew that then." He responded.

I sighed and shook my head, before spinning around and smacking a clone with Naruto.

"Sneak attacks won't work either." I stated, before tossing him away.

"Give it another try, Uzumaki. I want you to make me use Shukaku." I told him.

He smirked and held up his handsign.

"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" He shouted, as hundreds of clones appeared.

They all formed rasengans, and stared me down.

"Get him!" One shouted, causing them all to charge me with their rasengans.

"Well, I did ask for this. Shukaku, lend me your chakra." I said.

Finally, I get some revenge on that rat bastard Kurama!

"He's a fox but whatever." I said, feeling the chakra flow through me. I closed my left eye, and stared Naruto down.

He hesitated for a second, causing me to smirk. I made a clone and threw it at him, and it kicked him in the chest.

Shut up, Shukaku. I'm not gonna go blind for the sake of beating Naruto in a sparring match.

"What's wrong Naruto? Through already?" I asked.

"Yeah. I'm throwing everything I've got at you, and you're not even breaking a sweat!" He exclaimed, still laying on the ground.

I could've let him win again.

Shutting up now.
